5. Dave JohnsonMature
Birds chirped loudly from outside the closed windows of the small, and rather messy-looking room. Clothes were strewn carelessly all over the place, balled up pieces of papers which had been crumpled up and thrown away in frustration lay here and there on the ground. The screen of the laptop set on the mahogany table was blinking, seeking attention. However, the inhabitant of the room was snuggled up underneath the covers, clueless to how much his plans for the day were about to change.
It was his phone that woke him up. Radiohead came screaming to life, causing Dave to release a loud groan as he blindly reached over towards the source of the blaring music. His hand touched the surface of his phone and peeking his head out from under the blanket, his eyes adjusted to the light as he read the name on the screen: Claudia.
"Yeah?" He grunted, attending the call.
"How long does it take you to pick up the bloody phone?" She screeched. Rubbing his forehead, Dave sat up on the bed and rubbed his eyes. What time was it? "You would think that since my brother - sorry -your best friend got into an accident, you'd be a little less lazy and a little more worried."
"He's been in a coma for two weeks now. And yes, I am worried about him Claudia," he said calmly. "But a man needs to have a healthy sleep cycle."
"It's half past noon you moron."
Frowning, Dave spoke harshly, "What do you want anyways?"
"I called to let you know that Derek is awake. He's out of the coma."
A chill surged through Dave as his brown eyes widened. His heart pounded faster inside of his chest. Derek was awake? "Oh. That's good to know. When did he get out of the coma?"
"Earlier on this morning. The doctor called us at home and let mum and dad know. We just came back from the hospital." Claudia's voice shook a little as she mumbled, "He doesn't remember anything."
Dave's grip on the phone tightened. "Nothing at all?"
He had a mental image of Claudia shaking her head as she whispered, "Nothing. I mean the doctor had warned us he might suffer from a mild case of amnesia but they hadn't realized the severity of it until he was conscious. He doesn't know who he is himself, how can we expect him to remember his own family?"
Guilt sluiced over Dave for snapping at Claudia a few minutes ago. Derek had shared a close bond with his sister with whom he only had a two year gap. He shared a bond with her that most siblings did not have the fortune of having. Of course she'd be deeply upset over the fact that her big brother didn't even remember her.
"Hey. It's going to be alright. Over time, his memories will come back," Dave said reassuringly.
"Yeah...I guess," she sniffed. "Anyways, I wanted to call you and let you know that he's up now."
"Thanks Claudia." Then, a thought struck him and he quickly asked, "Who else knows about this apart from your family?"
"No one. You're the first person I've told...which reminds me, I should probably call Maddie and let her know as well."
"No!" Dave jumped. An awkward silence ensued and in a calmer tone, he added, "I'll let her know myself."
"Okay." Claudia breathed in deeply like she was trying to recompose herself, and her emotions that had run astray for a second there. "I guess I should be going now. Bye Dave."
The line went dead.
Dave held his phone tightly in his hand as he stared out the window. As relieved as he felt to hear the news that his one and only best friend was back to a good health, he also felt inklings of uncertainty flow into him.
Derek's awakening would change everything.

I am naked in my bedroom after going to the bathroom. I spread my ass cheeks showing off my dirty asshole. I want my Goddess ass worshiped, so I use my tight silky fullback panties to wipe my ass with. Then I turn around and begin to pussy the panty gusset into my wet pussy. I want all of my sexy Goddess body worshiped and enjoyed. After I am done wiping up, I put back on the dirty tight fullback panty. I want all of my scent on my panties, so I rub my pussy and ass more while wearing them some more. I can't wait for my toilet slut to smell and clean up my sexy dirty worn panties! #145

Poem by: November
Status: Finished
Genre: Religion and Spirituality
It's hidden from the Bible's verse, its pages and their folds,
a story soaked in secrecy, its legend God witholds.
It's rumoured that the story tells of God and His disgust,
with what He first created, of the boy He left to rust.
\"Dear Father, all I yearn to do is worship where you stand,
and bask forever in the wonders that you built by hand,
O' Father all I ask of you is that my heart be saved,
I'm sorry for the things I've done, the evil and depraved.\"
Consumed by shame for sins he doesn't even know he's sinned,
he prays he'll find forgiveness when he whispers on the wind,
but truthfully his prayers are lost, they stack up and decay,
collecting dust and cobwebs locked away in Limbo's grey.
\"Now I don't mean to bother you in your celestial grace,
it's just it's been a while since last you graced with your embrace
the first born son who loves you still, who'll love you evermore
O' who am I to hold a grudge with you who I adore?\"
An empty stare into a sky that's hollow just like him,
it's blank behind the eyes that gleam, beneath ceramic skin,
see no expense was spared when God stitched up this work of art,
but now He'd rather spend his time a million miles apart.
\"Well, gee! It must be pretty hectic up there in the clouds
as all I ever wanted was to for me to make you proud,
but now you waste the days with your new plaything, Planet Earth,
I hope the Humans kill themselves, for all my voice is worth.\"
Another thousand years would pass and still he went ignored
when finally it dawned on him that that this was not his 'Lord,'
suddenly the voice inside his heart felt like a stranger
not a betting man he had no time for Pascal's wager.
\"Dear Mister 'I'm so busy I just couldn't care at all,'
you're just a dead beat dad, I took your cross down off my wall,
and P.S. Thanks for nothing, I threw out your rosary,
I put my trust in you but should have had more faith in me.\"
A lightbulb shone above his head and burned right through his brain,
implanting an idea so grand it couldn't be contained.
He incubated that idea until it hatched a plan,
the only way his God could ever cower to a man.
\"I'm bored of you ignoring me and trudging to confession,
done with feeling shame for every minor indescretion,
well listen up for once, for eveything you put me through,
I'd gladly wipe my mind if it meant my forgetting you.\"
And so he set about to cleanse his soul of Hymn - amen -
aborting part of him that never could be born again.
Forever done with saying grace and done with feeling blessed,
done with God but with one final secret to confess.
\"But if one day while flicking through your catalogue of prayers,
you stumble on my aging wish with miracles to spare,
and once again I feel the safety of your arms, my King,
then all those times before you broke my heart won't mean a thing.\"
And so again millenia would pass, his patience frayed,
torn at the seams where once he'd been so carefully crocheted.
Ceramic skin now cracked, once perfect hair now held in knots,
the Human race long gone, now underneath the dirt it rots.
\"I wish I'd never thought to stare up at the sky at all,
as now I only look up in the hope I'll see you fall,
you didn't leave me any choice, what else was I to do?
You don't believe in my so why should I believe in you?\"

It arrives by snail mail sooner or later. Usually, it takes the recipient by surprise. I'm referring to the invitation to join the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), that great American reminder you've hit your senior years.
After the shock wears off, most people recognize the benefits to being a "senior." If you think about it, AARP does a pretty good job of communicating to the 93.7 million people in the U.S. who are over 50.
You're aware the massive population demographic known as baby boomers are transforming into seniors as we speak. Current usage studies show about 24 million seniors online in the U.S.
So, with all these senior hands on the keyboards, how do you develop content that appeals to this growing and powerful demographic? Here are some hints from the experts.
- Take cues from popular sites. Take a look at the sites for AARP, Senior Women Web, and The National Council on the Aging (NCOA). All have lots of interesting content, are easy to navigate, and provide clear benefits to the user. Consider that these sites are not condescending, don't feature happy faces of old people, and don't try to shoehorn content into issues stereotypically considered "older concerns." In fact, the content of Senior Women is so diverse article topics range from the Tony Awards to Alan Greenspan.
- Respond to boomers. Baby boomers make up the most demanding generation but are well worth it. The 55-year-olds of today came of age in a period of prosperity and are not adverse to spending. Yes, they were preceded by Depression-era babies who aren't as comfortable splurging. The big "senior boom" is coming from those born between 1945 and 1964, however. Start thinking about targeting this group now. By the way, if you're targeting "younger seniors," you'll also want to think about cultural cues that excite baby boomers. There is a reason why bands such as The Who and The Beatles are used to market everything from cars to prescription medicines.
- Seniors are a multi-segmented target group. Generally, seniors are segmented into young seniors (55-65), mid-range seniors (65-80), and older seniors (80-plus). Although these segments are quite fluid (remember, some people in their 70s are helping their grade-school-age children with homework), they have different concerns. While young and mid-range seniors may be thinking about their jobs, financing college educations, and the transition to retirement, older seniors may appreciate more information on maintaining their independent lifestyles and health concerns.
- Think "senior values." Yes, values change once one has attained the wisdom that comes with later years. Although seniors generally have spending power, materialism and one-upmanship aren't as important as expanding horizons, maintaining independence, and growing personally. Always put decision-making power in the hands of senior users. The invitation "You decide" is a lot more compelling to them than directives spouted by a 20-something.
- Pick the right influencers. People who are successful well into their senior years have great appeal. Sports figures do well when they have proven their success even after their game-playing days.
- Don't assume informality (or vulgarity). The Web invites a certain informality, but be careful about addressing your older audiences with "Hi, Joe!" Allow them to determine how they'd like to be addressed. Be on your toes about vulgarity. What plays well to the Gamma Alpha frat boys doesn't work with sophisticated seniors.
- Don't shrink type or clutter screens. A no-brainer? Maybe, but you'd be surprised at the confusing, cluttered sites pitching to seniors. Being a little more generous with content doesn't hurt, either. These individuals weren't raised on MTV. They actually possess an attention span.
- Provide a method for emailing content. Ever notice the really good email jokes and digital images are forwarded by Mom and Dad? Millions of seniors forward stories, graphics, and jokes across the country, loving it as a substitute for the old "thinking of you" Hallmark card. If you're targeting seniors, it pays to make it easy to email your content. It may be just the thing to send to that wonderful woman and her boyfriend What's-His-Name they met on the cruise to Alaska last summer.
- Don't trick. Never try to take advantage of seniors. Most are highly aware of scams. The mere scent of rip-off could get you in hot water.
- Recognize the power of grandchildren and grandparents. What's the benefit of aging almost every senior enjoys? Grandchildren, of course. There are 65 million grandparents in the U.S., but there's little recognition of that special bond between grandparents and grandchildren (does anyone know when Grandparents Day is?). A salute to grandparenting could put your site on the "most visited" list for mature Web users.
Got other ideas for making your content senior-savvy? Let me know, and I'll share them in future articles. After all, we're all not getting any younger!

by Robin Gulack
(New Fairfield, CT United States)
I am a graduate of Rochester Institute of Technology with a bachelor's in illustration. Many authors I have created art for have been enchanted - or at least very pleased -with my work.
Some experiences I have had were stories that were inspirational, adventurous, took place in certain countries or places, featured imaginative animals, a character's personal experience or ideas about life, and stories about a child's imagination.
My favorite subject matter is animals, whether they are realistic or imaginative, but the more creative an idea is the better I like it. It could be a story about a purple cat who loves to paint, or perhaps a poodle who has a passion for making pastries.
I also enjoy whimsical stories about inanimate objects or fantasy characters such as mermaids and fairies.
A device I have installed allows me to create art work on my computer, and I can do several different techniques. Some of my styles include simple cartoon drawings which look nice with my ink and watercolor "brush," a more painterly style using the pastel, acrylic, and blending "brushes," and the use of the watercolor "brush" to create a gouache painting effect.
The fee I charge depends on how simple or detailed an illustration is to be.
If the author wants a more simple, cartoony illustration with little detail, the fee will start at $30. If illustrations require much detail and research, the price range will be from $50 to $75 per illustration.
I have no website but authors are free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com, and I will then send samples of my work.
I will create three color sketches of the ideas an author has. The more specific an author is in what he/she is seeking, the better. Any photos or ideas an author has will be appreciated.
Thank you for your time,

Cancer (Love)
Aries 1/5 – Not suited, the Cancer is frightened of being hurt by the Aries hurting themselves
Taurus 5/5 – A breathtaking romance, this is if the Taurus is prepared for the cancerians clinginess
Gemini 1/5 – There not together all the time, in fact the Gemini will probably leave the cancer at home and come back five years later with someone who likes to be outside
Cancer 5/5 – When these two get together they will find it hard to leave the home, even for something as simple as shopping.
Leo 3/5 – Can work but only if the Leo understands of the Cancer's needs. Otherwise this will be a vicious game of give and take, with the Leo doing most of the taking.
Virgo 4/5 – a very entrancing relationship provided the Virgo can show their softer side
Libra 3/5 – Requires tact from the Liberian who is likely to sweep the problems away as if they didn't happen.
Scorpio 5/5 – A hidden relationship, you wouldn't even know they were partners
Sagittarius 0/5 – Going in opposite directions
Capricorn 3/5 – A good relationship if the Capricorn can relax his controlling needs and can become aware of the cancer's sensitivity
Aquarius 2/5 – This can either be a good relationship or a horrific one, this is if the Aquarian can get out of the house without doing something too crazy
Pisces 5/5 – here is a very sensitive pair, the cancer will provide a home for the Pisces and the Pisces will bring the popcorn for a good tear jerker.
Cancer and love go together like bread and butter. However it won't be easy for any one person to get to know them. Sure enough the Cancer may be willing to try something new, if they know what they are digging themselves into first. They are easily hurt and if any one person is daring enough to hit a raw nerve the Cancerian won't ever forget. Being aware of the value that Cancer places on sentimental values is important for a relationship to go well.
Water signs are more than often controlled by their emotions; these are the recipes to their psychic abilities. Cancer is very good at making problems seem more worse than they actually are. Cancer rules the chest and the stomach making them the most sensitive parts of the cancerians body. Looking out for things like heart burn and stomach cramps. They must also learn to not resort to comfort food when hurt as this can have an effect on their waistline. Cancer has an easy time putting weight on but when it comes to losing it, the weight will drop off slowly for them.
Things to avoid
· Jealousy
· Fear of the unknown
· Being unreasonable
· Gambling
· Stress

Hundreds of lawyers are being forced to jump ship as time runs out for the vast majority of firms allowed to handle legal aid clinical negligence cases.
Two new panels of specialist practitioners will cut the number of firms that can take on such cases from about 3,200 last year to just 200 this year, under changes which were announced by the Lord Chancellor, Lord Irvine, last November.
Non-specialist solicitors were prevented from handling legal aid cases from 31 January this year.
The 2,000 personal injury franchise holders will be barred from 31 July unless they meet the new standard.
Firms bidding for a franchise must have at least one of their lawyers on either the Law Society panel or the panel run by charity Action for Victims of Medical Accidents (AVMA).
Both groups report a recent flood of applications, many from personal injury lawyers, for the few remaining places but most have been refused.
Non-panel lawyers who want to continue working in the field but whose firms have been refused a franchise are now being cherry-picked by the franchised firms, while solicitors on the panel have found themselves in demand.
Ann Alexander, co-founder of Alexander Harris, which has nine panel members, says: "We have had a terrific number of applications from people who have been doing clinical negligence cases in their old firm."
Spokesman for AVMA, Peter Saunders, says: "We have been receiving dozens and dozens of applications to be on the panel over the past few weeks."
He adds: "We are getting new applications every day and there are at least 80 being considered at the moment for the final 30 places on our panel."

Right off the bat you'll be starting off with a two-mile walk. According to Leslie, you'll be able know how far you've gone if you're able to keep up with the pace of the music. During your two-mile walk you'll also incorporate other movements such as stepping, tapping, jumping, hoping, dipping, squatting and dancing. Simple upper body movements are also incorporated to get the whole body moving.
After the two-mile walk (which lasts about 30 minutes), you'll switch gears and move into a core workout. All you'll need for this is some space on the floor for a floor mat. This floor session targets your midsection and focuses on toning, tightening and leaning. Some exercises you can expect to do here include; leg kicks, bicycle crunches, leg lifts, supermans, push-ups on the knees, planks and more beginner body weight movements.CONCLUSION
In conclusion, Leslie Sansone's Belly Blasting Walk is a great workout DVD for beginners or for those trying to get back into the fitness scene. Though the main focus is on walking and burning calories, you'll also experience other movements that will help stretch and grow your muscles, resulting in even more calories burned.Common Misspellings

Love this, have lost 30 ponds at two different times for a total of 60 pounds over the last 5years. I use this in the winter months and water walking and swimming in the summer months! Easy for those of us who are not the athletic type.. I don't feel comfortable in a gym!

Roll Top Bread Bin - Passion Red is rated out of 5 by 31.Rated 5 out of 5 by The Whit from Bread Bin that rises to the challenge. We have just had a new bespoke Kitchen and found that whilst we had some wonderful wide draws getting bread in and out was not as easy as before it was kept in cupboard - so answer have bread bin on the worktop. Red would give a good contrast . It took a bit of finding and we are very pleased. Big enough for two loaves so plenty of space. Very well made with a splendid roll top and a ten year guarantee. A lot cheaper than many others and better . It looks the part. A quality item that works brilliantly .Date published: 2014-12-01Rated 5 out of 5 by PaulBladon from Quality I bought this to replace my 18 year old Brabantia bread bin which was still working but needed to get a more modern looking model.Date published: 2014-02-13Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from This product has great stile The bread bin has a easy to use lid and it has a great shape it will take to loaves easerly it all so comes in great coloursDate published: 2015-09-08Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Good Quality I willingly paid a bit more than most bread bins than I might have done. I am glad, the quality is good, does not feel tinny at all, in fact the solidness makes it feel better when opening and closing. It has the usual quality and feel that you would expect from Brabantia products.I guess it's a product that will last much longer than a cheaper one I purchased a few years ago. I would recommend this item!Date published: 2015-12-01Rated 5 out of 5 by Dawn27 from Great design I bought this 2 weeks ago and it is a gorgeous design. The storage pots are a lot bigger than my original tea, coffee, sugar canisters yet take up less space on the work surface. I only wish there were items in this range. I would kill for a matching blind :)Date published: 2014-07-11Rated 5 out of 5 by Eowyn from Great stylish breadbin I bought this a few weeks ago and it's great. More space than I thought. And the roll top opening means I can fit it on a narrow shelf and still open it, which I couldn't do with my previous bread bin.Date published: 2014-06-02Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Nice looking Fits nicely on to my countertop and great because I can put storage canisters on the flat top. Exactly what I wantedDate published: 2016-08-26Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great bread bin Good size and colourDate published: 2015-09-01

Double-layer and pseudocapacitance types of electrochemical capacitors and their applications to the development of hybrid devices

The basis of the complementary use of electrochemical capacitors (so-called supercapacitors) in hybrid electric power generation by rechargeable batteries and fuel cells is explored. Electrochemical capacitors are of two types: one where the interfacial double-layer capacitance of high specific area carbon materials is the basis of electric charge storage (as ions and electrons); and the other where pseudocapacitance, associated with electrosorption and surface redox processes at high-area electrode materials, e.g. RuO2, or at conducting polymers, provides the basis of charge storage. The former, double-layer, type of capacitance stores charge non-faradaically while the latter type, pseudocapacitance, stores charge indirectly through faradaic chemical processes but its electrical behaviour is like that of a capacitor. Two types of hybrid battery/capacitor system are recognized: one based on combination of an electrochemical capacitor cell with a rechargeable battery or a fuel cell in a load-leveling function, e.g. in an electric vehicle power train; and the other based on combination of a faradaic battery-type electrode coupled internally with a capacitative electrode in a two-electrode hybrid module (termed an asymmetric capacitor). Optimization of operation of such systems in terms of balancing of active masses, of power and charge densities, and choice of maximum but limited states-of-discharge, is treated.

because i was never going to fly, anyways
old (not actually that old, it just seems like it) poem that i'm irrationally fond of
When I was little, my dad loved comics.
So naturally, so did I. I always wanted to be Batman.
And yet, at that age I did not yet know
That it's only cute to want to be a boy
When you are young and naive.
Now, of course, I know that to tell them would
Be to dig my own grave in this society.
I feel like Clark Kent - female by day,
But in the right circumstances, I'm Superman.
The only thing is that it's hard to be a superhero
If no-one will help you make your suit.
And I am not even given the choice because I prefer
The pronoun "they" but everyone sees me as "she".
To them, I am nothing but a girl.
And in my society, I can be bi
(Even though I haven't yet told them I'm ace)
And my sexuality will be reasonably accepted.
But gender is a taboo topic.
I am supposed to be cisgender.
I'm supposed to be a girl
I'm supposed to not be a boy,
I'm supposed to be a lot of things.
I'm not just Clark Kent.
If they would give me the chance,
They would see that Superman is a part
Of me too - a binder would be my cape.
I wish I could be apologetic that my
Identity is so complicated, but I'm not.
I'm not because I am sad and tired
And I don't have the energy to waste
Putting myself down anymore.
So I'm okay that I'm genderqueer now.
I'm okay with it because it's who I am.
But my family is Kryptonite -
They can hurt and they can burn.
And when I touch them,
My Superman shrinks away in fear.

Hey, guys! I'm finally officially back! Yay! Okay, so I have to say, I am super, super sorry to all of my fans for making them wait so long for an update. My stupid computer decided to break again, so my parents got me a new one. I almost died not being able to write on here. I'm really sorry guys. Anyways, while you guys were waiting, I wrote an awesome new one-shot, well, I hope it's awesome. That's your opinion. So, here it is!
Disclaimer: I only own the storyline.
Enjoy! :D
"So, Trish..."
"Before we end the show, I have to ask, what's the story of how the famous Austin Moon and Ally Dawson got together?"
"Austin and Ally? Why do you ask?"
"Well, they are such an amazing couple, and we are all dying to know their story. Do you know it?"
"Of course I know it! I'm Ally's BFF for gosh sakes!"
"Okay, well tell us! We're all listening."
"You really want to know the story, huh? Okay, here goes..."
April 26 was a special day. It was my annual 'sleepover bash', as I liked to call it. I had invited six girls to the sleepover, including my best friend, Ally Dawson. The thing is, I wanted to make this sleepover a little more special than the others that I've had in the past. Well, for Ally, that is.
You see, the week before, Ally had met this insanely gorgeous guy at Sonic Boom, while she was on one of her seemingly endless work shifts. I had been watching from a distance, and knew that the two had instantly clicked. When I asked about him later, Ally denied it, saying he was 'just a customer.' I could be wrong, but I didn't think 'just a customer' would shake hands and have an hour long conversation with the cashier. I knew something was up. It took a little bit of locking Ally in the practice room, and a lot of forceful questions to finally get some information out of my best friend.
It turns out, the guy that was 'just a customer', was a little bit more. Accordiing to Ally, his name was Austin, and he was sweet, funny, and really attractive. I had to agree on the latter. I also noticed that Ally had been busy a lot and would always cancel our 'bestie hang out days.' After some more locking her in the practice room, and even more forceful questions, I found out that Ally had been hanging out with Austin. Before I could say anything, Ally denied it, yet again, saying that he was 'just a friend.' After a lot of thinking that night, I had come up with a brilliant plan.
After waiting twenty minutes for the first girl to arrive (the sleepover had started twenty minutes before), the doorbell finally rang. I opened the door to find Ally standing there with her bags.
"Sorry, I'm late. My dad had to go somewhere, so I had to watch the store," she said.
"It's okay. You're the first one here anyway," I told her, moving out of the way to let her inside
"Really, wow. I thought maybe other girls had maybe shown up," she says, setting her bags onto the floor.
"This story doesn't have a very interesting beginning, does it?"
"Ssshh! Don't interrupt, Mike! I'll get to the good part in a minute."
So, after all the girls had arrived for the sleepover, we all decided to watch a movie. The only not so good thing was picking which movie we would watch.
"Let's watch Titanic!" one of the girls, Shaunie, shouted.
"No! Let's watch The Notebook!" another girl, Franchesca yelled. This argument just kept on going, until I almost bursted with annoyance and anger.
"How about we play Truth or Dare instead!?" I shouted over the noise. Everyone turned to look at me, some nodding, some saying yes.
"That's sounds like a great idea, Trish!" Leslie said. I nodded at her and we all sat down in a circle.
"Can I go first?" Leslie asked.
"I think Ally should go first," I said. Ally looked at me in complete confusion.
"Why me?" she asked.
"Because, now, Truth or Dare?" I asked her.
She thought for a moment. "Truth," she said. I frowned at her.
"Awww, poo! Seriously, Ally? Why didn't you pick dare?" I asked.
"Because I don't feel like doing something stupid right now," she said nonchalantly.
"Fine, but next time, you better pick dare," I told her sternly. She rolled her eyes at me.
"Ok, ummm...oh! I have the perfect question! So, is it true that you like that guy, Austin?" I asked her, narrowing my eyes at her. Her eyes widened and she stared at me with shock.
"No, Trish! I've already told you this! He's just a friend!" she said quickly.
"You are such a liar! I can see it in your eyes!" I shouted. Everyone turned to her in complete and utter interest, all with big smiles on their faces.
"Who is it?" Shaunie asked.
"Nobody. He's just a friend," Ally said. I shaked my head at her.
"Ally, come on. It's not like we're gonna tell the whole world," I said.
She sighed, and finally cracked. "Okay, the 'just friends' thing is true, but maybe I do like him a little bit."
Everyone gasped in shock, with some squealing.
"What does he look like?" Franchesca asked excitedly. Ally pulled out her phone, pressing a few buttons, and then handing the phone to her. Franchesca looked at it, squealing.
"Oh my god! He is so hot!" she shouted. "You are sooooo lucky!"
"Can we please get past all the girl stuff?"
"No, Mike. It's very important. If I don't tell you this part of the story, then you won't understand. Now, stop interrupting! Back to the story..."
So, anyway, after everyone passed the phone around, squealing and saying how hot this Austin guy was, we finally got back to Truth or Dare. After everyone had their turn, it was back to Ally.
"Truth or Dare, Ally?" Marie asked.
Ally sighed. "I guess I'll pick dare, but you guys better not make me do something totally stupid or embarrassing."
"I know the perfect dare!" I shouted. Ally sighed, knowing my dares were really good. Well, they were good to me.
"Oh, gosh. Here we go...," Ally said.
"Okay, so I dare you to call Austin, tell him to meet you at Sonic Boom..."
"No way! I'm not doing it!"
"I'm not done! And that's not even that bad!"
"Well, it will probably turn out to be bad!" Ally shouted.
"Okay, anyways, when you both get there, I dare you at some time to kiss him!" I shouted, satisfied with my perfect dare. Ally's face went blood red, her mouth opening and closing, trying to come up with words to say.
"Nuh uh! I ain't doing it, Trish! That would make things completely awkward, and it's not happening!" she yelled.
"It will not be awkward! By the way you describe your relationship with this boy, I can tell that he likes you, too." I told her.
"I highly doubt he likes me like that, Trish," she said, lowering her voice.
"Well, I highly doubt that he doesn't like you like that," I said.
"I don't care, I'm not doing it."
"Okay, then I guess I'll have to tell him myself that you have a huge crush on him," I said, taking out my cell phone and waving it around in her face.
"No! You better not! And how did you even get his number?" she asked.
"I have my ways."
She just glared at me, and crossed her arms over her chest.
"There is no way in heck I am kissing Austin, Trish! You can't make me!" she exclaimed.
I just smirked at her and started dialing Austin's phone number. Just before I pressed send, I sent her a huge evil grin.
The phone started ringing, and he picked up after the second one.
Ally started panicking a little bit, and motioning for me to hang up. I just grinned at her mischievously.
"Hey, Austin! This is Trish," I said into the receiver.
"Ummm...I don't think I know you," he said.
"Yeah, I know, but you know Ally, right?"
"Ally Dawson?"
By then, Ally was trying to tackle me to get the phone away.
"What about Ally?" Austin asked.
"When are you gonna get to the point?"
"Again, Mike, it will be soon. Now, the next time you interrupt, I am going to seriously hurt you."
"Alright, alright. Just hurry, because we only have ten minutes left of the show."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyways..."
So, we, meaning I, convinced Austin to meet Ally at Sonic Boom. Ally was basically freaking out on the way there.
"Guys, I can't do this. You know this is gonna make things so awkward between us. He's gonna ignore me for the rest of my life!" she shouted, flinging her arms in the air for emphasis.
"Ally, please. He's not gonna ignore you. If anything, he's probably gonna pay more attention to you," I told her, trying my hardest to calm her down. We finally pulled into the parking lot of Sonic Boom, and Ally started hyperventilating.
"Trish, she's like having a freak attack back here. Are you sure about this?" Leslie asked. I shot her an evil glare.
"This is going to work, Leslie. Just you see."
I opened the door of the car and climbed out, just as Leslie was helping Ally out. I walked over to her, and motioned for her to walk into the store.
"Wow, I can't believe she's actually going through with this dare."
Gosh! I said don't interrupt! Now, where was I? Ah! So, we both walked into Sonic Boom..."
When we got inside, I immediately ran over to the trumpet section of the store, and hid behind the shelves. Ally was sitting on the counter, when the little 'ding!' noise the bell above the door made when someone opened it, went off. I looked over to the door to see Austin walking in. I immediately smiled wide.
"Hey, Ally," I heard him say.
"Hi, Austin," Ally said, while looking at the floor.
"So, what did you need me to come here for?"
"Ummm..." Ally glanced over at the trumpet display, where I was hiding. I mouthed for her to do it. She sighed and looked up at Austin.
I mentally face palmed. 'Come on, Ally. Just do it. Just kiss him!' I thought.
"Are you okay?" Austin asked, chuckling a little bit. Ally looked back at the floor.
"I...uh...I don't know how to do this," she mumbled.
"Do what?" he asked. She glanced back at me for the second time.
'Do it right now!' I mouthed.
She sighed again. "This," she said. She grabbed him by the collar, pulled him down, and kissed him squarely on the lips. I smiled so big, I thought my face was gonna stay that way! He immediately put his hands on her waist, which made me smile even bigger, if that was even possible.
"And after that, he told her how he felt and that's what brings us to right now."
"I know. It was a good story, huh?"
"I did not expect that that was the way it happened."
"Well, you know what they say. 'Always expect the unexpected.'"
"Alright, well, I guess that wraps up our show for tonight. We'll see you all next week for Josh Hutcherson's interview on his new movie 'Catching Fire', the second movie to the Hunger Games! Stay cool, everyone!"
Hope you liked! Again, I am super sorry for the long wait. I will try to update more often to make it up to you guys. See ya! :D

Opinie o innych obiektach tego gospodarza
We had a fabulous 5 days in Budapest. We choose the apartment because it was in a perfect place to walk around the city, 15-20 mins from lots of different attractions. Although on a main road we were not disturbed by the traffic too often just the occasional emergency vehicle. Apartment was good and we always got a quick and helpful response from the vendor when we made contact.
The apartment was very nice good space and good location
The best was the host Corrado. He made us feel welcomed and gave very good information and when we phoned him he was very friendly He prepared the flat after our wishes in a very good way
Nothing bad to say about this flat only GO THERE!
Apartment was very good value, and a great location- bars and restaurants minutes away, and you can walk to all the main sights in Budapest. The mattresses were very soft, and could do with being replaced, but otherwise we had a comfortable stay.
Great Place to stay !
Alessandro is a very nice person. He help us with a lot of things. Apartment is very well located and Budapest is simply beautifull.
Greetings from Poland
A brilliant location and excellent space for three or four persons.
Had a pleasant stay.
Everything went smoothly.
Excellent value for money.
Helpful and friendly host
3 of us stayed here for 3 nights. I dealt with Alessandro who manages the apartment - he arranged our pick up from the airport and was at the apartment when we arrived. He was very friendly and helpful and had a wonderful wall map showing places of interest. The apartment had a lovely spacious feeling - one of the beds we used was in the living room but as the room was lovely and large it didn't intrude. The apartment had 2 bathrooms which was great. We only had breakfast in the apartment and we had what we needed for that. The apartment is very centrally based with lovely restaurant just around the corner. If I return to Budapest I'd stay in this apartment
Everything is just as described on wimdu, clean and complete. Allesandro is a very friendly and helpful guy and gave us lots of hints for our time in Budapest. The area where is apartment is located is also ideal for a city trip as it is very central! Metro and subway are about 2 minutes walking from the apartment! Wi-fi also works perfect. Thank you!! Arnon & Gemma
Very nice, spacious appartement in a quiet street behind the Oktogon. Metro, tram, 24 hours supermarket, restaurants, very nearby. Friendly host.
The apartement was very nice, near to the river and you have a lot ofrestaurants there. I would recommend it.

asking questionsMature
"Your commentary isn't always needed James." I snapped and he held his gloved hands up.
"Whoa, so sorry. No need to get all snippety. Just speaking so you know I'm here still." I grumbled at him and sat back with a sigh.
"Do you know if they have a library here?" I asked James and he gave a sigh.
"Yeah, from what I can remember, though it has been a while since I was last outside of this house." I nodded.
"Okay, I'll go ask Matt and Maggie then, I'll be right back." I told James as I left the safety of my room and ventured down the hall past a door that was severely closed and I could hear raised voices behind it. I turned into the kitchen and paused there and turned to stare down the two doorways to find Matt and Maggie sitting in the living room drinking tea or something. I took off my glasses and approached them.
"Hello Jun." Maggie said with a smile as I sat down across from them as they sipped their drinks.
"H-Hi." I couldn't look them in the faces, mainly because I couldn't get their rotting ones out of my mind.
"What is it that you need?" I glanced at them before throwing my eyes downcast again.
"I just wanted to ask a simple question. Do you know if...there is a library here?" Maggie laughed and Matt gave her a look.
"But of course there is Jun! I'm so glad you asked. Abby spends most of her time there studying so that she doesn't fall behind. She misses a lot of classes because..." Maggie shared a look with Matt and I got the feeling I knew why she missed a lot of school.
"Is it because of...?" I glanced at both of them and they stiffened but Maggie became very sad before nodding.

US dollar: outlook for August 10-16
By Elizaveta Belugina
When to expect the Federal Reserve's first rate hike?
The main theme about the US dollar during the past week was certainly the expectations of the Fed's interest rate increase. As usual, traders were closely following US statistics, which, on balance, was positive. There was a bright piece of data about American services sector: ISM non-manufacturing PMI soared to 10-year high. Manufacturing index fell, but still indicated industry expansion.
The long-awaited Non-Farm Payrolls rose by 215K in July, which is slightly below consensus of 220K, but still above the critical level of 200K. American unemployment rate remained at 5.3%. Average hourly earnings, as expected, rose by 0.2% after a flat reading in June.
US labor market data keep the possibility of September rate hike on the table. Although it is still a long way to go until September, such expectations will support the greenback in the coming days: the market got the reassurance it needed.
Next week will not be as intense in terms of economic data as the previous one, but still we have some important events in economic calendar. The FOMC member Lockhart Speaks will speak on Monday and it will be interesting how he assesses NFP data. In addition, do not miss unit labor costs on Tuesday as this release is linked to inflation, core retail sales on Thursday and producer prices together with consumer sentiment on Friday.

Into the Dark.Mature
The inside of the IFV was black, only a faint red light in the back of the IFV could be seen. I was sitting right next to the door holding my rifle tightly while thinking deeply about life. I didn't need a light to know that everyone else did the same.
The hours of painful waiting came to an end when we felt the IFV stop. The doors opened and we could hear the Colonel himself in the front. "Man the walls!" he commanded. My company rushed outside and headed towards the waypoint. We ran up the stairs of the wall about 12 meters along with the rest of the battalion and the IFVs made a secondary wall around the gate.
The skyscrapers despite the years of negligence stood tall in the sky towering over us. The way they reflected the moonlight made the atmosphere blue. From the walls I tried to look back and catch a glimpse of the snipers but no luck.
I felt relief when I saw that the colonel and his guard take their position next to us. He was about my age, young but clearly much more robust. He stood with an excellent posture that contested the sturdiness of the steel wall and he had the eyes of an eagle as he stared at the destroyed section of the city, at the horizon looking for the enemy. Once again we waited in agony.
Then it came. We could see the bodies of the infected sprinting at us 25 miles per hour in an aerodynamic wedge. "Here they come!" the Colonel shouted "Today we will hold the line and fight for humanity! As long as I am here I swear that we will not fall! Not until Romeo finishes their mission." All together we shouted
"Yes Sir!"
"3000 meters!" A logistics officer shouted over the radio. We all stood shoulder to shoulder ready to face the enemy. I was in the front of the double line for my accuracy but despite all the soldiers with guns we attached bayonets onto our rifles as we waited.
"2500 meters!
"Snipers." the colonel ordered and they answered.
"Locked and loaded Colonel."
"2100 meters!" we could hear static over the radio.
"Almost in effective range."
"2000 meters!" then the Colonel gave his orders.
"Open fire!"
The snipers behind us fired with anti material rounds from the towers. They shot right into the head of their formation. It was working! We cheered for them but then they stopped to reload. To our amazement the enemy was intelligent beyond what we actually believed. No one at the academy believed our instructors. We were Une Rafale, we stood pale like ghosts. Even the Colonel had disbelief in his eyes. They quickly recovered their formation, it barely slowed them down. The snipers continued shooting but this time faster less accurate.
"1700 Meters!" The colonel shouted at the next officer.
"Where's my artillery!"
"Still unloading sir!" he shouted absent of hope and full of disbelief. Realistically artillery had a range of 28,000 meters. We all began to wonder if we had been abandoned.
"1600 Meters!" Then we could see it flying over our heads. The artillery fired their first rounds. The shells fell in the core of their formation we felt relief as we heard the explosions I closed my eyes tightly and thought that perhaps heaven had not left us for dead after all. Then I opened my eyes. Still the enemy came charging.
"1300 Meters!" We saw the enemy more vividly. No dammit! No! I thought to myself. It wasn't possible it cannot be real! And yet it was right in front of me. The evolution of the enemy. A monster that truly deserved the title demon. Unlike the other infected humans this one was something else. Our instructors taught us about them but we did not believe it. We laughed and dismissed it as a joke. The demons in the front evolved with wings. The wings were unfit for flying but they boosted their ability to close gaps and increased height of jumping. Their wings even made them more aerodynamic.
"1200 Meters!"
"1100 meters!"
"1000 Meters!" At that mark we knew we were the last line of defense.
"900 Meters!" It's not too late to run I thought to myself. Several other soldiers looked back towards the staircase undoubtedly estimating how long it would take to route.
"800 Meters!" The Colonel made final checks on his weapon then shouted
"Hold Firm!"
"700 Meters!" No, we can't run. Not now. Its what we trained for; I tried to convince myself we had a chance.
"600 Meters!" We can do it! Its what we were born to do! Its how we lived! We can take them. We will reclaim our lands and come home as heroes.
"575!" The officer shouted.
"Weapons tight!" The Colonel ordered. The enemy was almost in effective range of our assault rifles. The wedding was close.
Seconds that passed felt like years. We all waited for the order.
"Weapons Free!" The Colonel Shouted. We opened fire. 500 meters was the gap between us. Our bullets fell one by one just as the enemy did. They died but it was nothing. Nothing could stop them.
The demons jumped at us and used their wings. They finally penetrated our line. Shouting orders, bullets, screaming, and the cracking of bones were the only thing I heard as I unloaded my ammo into the horde. I didn't even see it coming. A demon pounced right at me. I was centimeters away from its grasps. But then it fell. The Colonel had protected me. From what I saw he had abandoned his service rifle for an old aged revolver. He took the demons down with great accuracy and with one shot. The soldier behind me picked me up and I once again held the line.
We continued our struggle. We slowed down the hordes approach but by little. Then it occurred to me, we weren't fighting against mindless creatures. They had intelligence that we always underestimated. Their winged demons skirmish into our defensive line while the main horde would make its approach.
One of them flew past me. That time my life surely would have ended had it not been for another miracle. It wasn't aiming for me, no. It headed straight to the Colonel. I stood and did nothing as it raced passed his guard towards him. The Colonel turned after he had fired at the demons brother. The gap closed and the Colonel had his revolver aimed inches away from its face. He pulled the trigger and my heart stopped. The Colonel had no bullets. The demon grabbed him and pushed him off the wall. One of his guards ran at the ledge and looked with eyes wide open. "The Colonel is dead!"
Soldiers dropped their guns and ran for their lives. Our valiant officers called for a retreat. I didn't even realize that my legs were already sprinting. I looked back for just one moment and saw some soldiers failed to drop their primary weapon. I could feel nothing but pity for them. The fools would be the first to be devoured into the swarm.
The horde finally reached the wall. All together with the wedge formation they slammed into the steel gate and it broke. The APC's held their ground and used their anti-personal weapons to stop their approach.
I didn't know where to run I just did. Everything was hazy and time seemed to slow down but for what? There was no escaping this. I ran into one of the great skyscrapers moved up the stairs. I looked around and realized I was alone with only a sidearm. I kept moving up the darkness. Honestly I don't expect to find anything special but anything is better than being in the streets. I held my pistol with one arm and used the other to feel the walls. I dare not use my flashlight dreading I might catch unwanted attention. Then my GPS strapped to my forearm started to blink. Once again I believed I was saved. A rally point had been set up in this very building just two more stories.
I continued my journey through the dark with caution and anticipation knowing that the worse could happen with every step that I take. Finally I made it. I opened the cold rusty door and to my comfort I found that the moon decided to shine brightly tonight. I approached the waypoint down the hall. Slowly with my finger on the trigger I walked to find more hope or despair.
My breathing became faint as I finally made it just a few feet away. My hands were steady and the world seemed to slow down. Every step I took crushed my nerves, with all my heart I feared I would be heard by the enemy. The door opened slowly… but not by my will. My heart pounded in my chest like a marching drum, my blood boiled and cold sweat drenched my body all in a moment that could have been seconds.
"Thank God." I heard myself say. I was welcomed with guns pointed at me but they were more than comforting at this point.
"Scared the living shit out of us mate." my comrade said as he held the door, his accent clearly implied that he was a Brit. I let myself in the room then heard the door next to me shut. My back fell against the wall next to the door and I felt my body slide down. I took a good look at the room, it was an office room outfitted with what was once space aged technology. There were four others at first glimpse they appeared to be standard riflemen like me but one of them was clearly a sniper.
"Just as I promised. I told you we still have blue helmets out there." exclaimed one of the two woking on a radio.
"The more the merrier" the sniper said while she sat across the room next to a window.
"Was there anyone else?" the Brit asked whilst taking a seat next to me. I shook my head.
"Hopefully we can rally more people with the waypoint." the same soldier from before responded. I looked up to get a closer look at him and I recognized his face and voice. He was the officer that called out the meters the one next to him upon closer inspection was clearly an engineer.
"I keep telling you it isn't broken, stop screwing around with it or else we'll really be screwed." The engineer contested as the officer while he toyed with the mechanisms on it.
"We can't get anything from Command so there's clearly something wrong with the radio."
"I don't think we'll be making much progress leaving it alone or screwing it up." Sniper pointed out.
"There isn't exactly much we can do." the engineer replied.
"Our ranks just got torn apart and it's more than likely no one left other than us" The Brit next to me pointed out. "Is there really any chance at an evacuation?" we hung our heads in silence.
Then static broke the peace. The officer lunged for the radio "Command do you read!? Situation is a Charlie Foxtrot. Our entire battalion is near annihilation requesting evac." Silence filled the room for a moment.
"Command acknowledges all. Evacuation is negative. Your orders stand." the officer shook his head in disbelief.
"Orders!? Didn't you hear me? I said everyone but us is DEAD!"
"Your orders stand."
This time we knew we were truly abandoned and our faith finally died. There was no escaping reality. We will die at point defense.

Three score years and ten. It has become the late autumn of life, the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness when judges take their port and ex-ministers doze on the Lords' red benches. It is, in turn, a time that invites mellower verdicts on lives of toil. And Keith Rupert Murdoch is 70 this week.
I never thought to write this piece through his first 69 years. He was, in so many ways, the enemy: Rupert the Barbarian, laying waste established orders, debasing the currency of journalism, bending politicians to his right-wing agenda, marching ever on towards international domination. But there he sits now, in a New York apartment or Bel Air mansion, tended by a fierce young wife, and the balance has changed. We are nearer, far nearer, to the end of empire. We can see him whole.
He does not travel as much as he did. He is frailer, feeling the first pangs of mortality. His mind is much on the division of spoils among his family; the crown for Lachlan, the consolation prizes for James and Elisabeth. Meanwhile, the world he would rule has changed around him and his aura of infallibility has gone. He got the internet revolution wrong not once but twice; too late into the game, too slow to see that the tide had ebbed.
He must fight to survive against new foes he barely saw coming like AOL-Time Warner and Disney and Seagram. The predatory French of Vivendi snap at his heels. This jungle is suddenly full of big beasts.
That does not mean he has stopped. To the contrary, a deal to create a truly global satellite business - and a company worth $70 billion - hovers between glorious conclusion and ignominious collapse. He has staked out a unique position in the wars of digital supremacy, and he may well be right. But one other thing is also clear. These are the coming thirty-year wars, perhaps even 100-year wars. He will not be around to hail victory. He leaves that to future generations - and maybe, as he looks around at other media dynasties, he shivers a little. Whatever became of the Los Angeles Times Chandlers or Roy Thomson's newspaper legacy? Sold off because the heirs and successors weren't interested. The hereditary principle is only as good as heredity's next spin of the wheel. Does he feel lucky?
So, at 70, you can ask a different question. What would our world have been like without Rupert Murdoch? What if he had never been born or had carved out some modest Australian, beer-swilling career amid the debris of his own father's newspaper holdings?
A kinder, gentler place shot sweetly through with liberal values? Perhaps: but don't bank on it. The Sun he bought long ago from Hugh Cudlipp was a misbegotten creation heading straight for the abattoir. He saved it, changed it and built it. The News of the World always came seedy side up, prurience with your Sunday roast. And what would have happened if Ken Thomson had hung on to the Times and Sunday Times ? Nothing good. Young Ken had no relish for printers' ink. They would have been cut adrift anyway - and who can tell what would have become of them?
I was there with a Guardian bid, talking to Harry Evans, and I still feel sore. But I also note that the people who want to buy national papers today are called Hinduja or Richard Desmond. There's no queue of saints with open chequebooks waiting at the door.
Murdoch is a newspaperman, which is something for other newspapermen to remember and value. He knows about readers and what, for good or ill, they want. (If there had been no Sun, then millions of its readers would not have read anything.) He is no bean counter. He supports and attempts to resuscitate loss-making papers instinctively; not just the Times, but the New York Post.
He fights almost to the death rather than succumb. He gambles relentlessly on his own judgment. These are not minor virtues, and they belong to the world that surrounds us rather than the world we might wish to invent. Was there, in truth, any other option but the realpolitik of Wapping? If we're honest, we know the answer is no - and that there would be many fewer papers today without that stand. Was even the price war of the nineties as deplorable as those of us in its gale force path felt at the time? It had, in retrospect, one thing going for it that we all missed: newspapers had become too expensive, the automatic ratchet of annual price increases too cosy. He made us stop and think. And we are all still here.
Many of Rupert's dragons, in short, were ripe for the slaying. The effete, pompous launchers of BSB deserved their come-uppance from Sky. The print unions had forgotten how to compromise. The old mass market tabloids had lost touch with the masses. Football was another revolution waiting to begin, held back by the inertia of the clubs and (yes!) the BBC. Lament away if you like, but never forget the alternatives.
His Twentieth Century Fox is no better and no worse than any other big Hollywood studio, but Fox Searchlight makes many distinguished small-budget movies. His Fox TV network, again, neither leads nor trails the rest, but its local news operations are often better. I would miss Sky News now: it is a public service. God bless the Simpsons.
And some of the grander arguments, too, are beginning to chase their own tails. Is the Sun too powerful for its own or anyone else's good? Yes, when you find prime ministers fawning after it: no, when Blair had to be endorsed last time - as he will be next time - because the electorate had made up its mind anyway and no cocky newspaper, clutching its mystique, can afford solemnly to advise its worshippers to do something they have no intention of doing. There's a thin line between swagger and cringe.
What remains of the Murdoch press (a distinctly non-global entity) isn't half as powerful as it likes to think, nor rigorously uniform in the lines it peddles. Matthew Parris, Simon Jenkins and Anatole Kaletsky sing from different Times hymn sheets: Jack Newfeld and Douglas Montero in the Post might transfer to the New York Times overnight. Sure, the British quartet don't like Europe (a following as well as a leading of readers, again) just as Rupert doesn't like Europe or its regulation of media entrepreneurs: but they don't like William Hague either. The Times has probably become his most implacable critic.
What looks wrong in a British context, moreover, can look right in an American one. New York is a Democrat city which the NY Times dominates with its own accepted, sometimes sonorous, wisdom. The town needs a feisty, right-wing tabloid to shake it up, to have a debate. There Rupert is the lonely voice doing blue-collar people's business. Opinion needs a voice or becomes frustration.
Even Murdoch's more notorious sell-outs have their ambivalencies. Was he brave, a few years back, when Beijing wanted BBC World Service TV off his Asian Star satellite? Not brave at all: he wimped out. Why, for that matter, does he so despise the Dalai Lama? Yet such feebleness also tells us that he can't command regimes at a snap of his fingers, that he has to trim and ingratiate like all those around him who want to make money in China. And we ought, in fairness, to wonder who else in similar circumstances would have proved so much bolder?
Satellite TV business is, of its nature, multinational business - and those knocking on China's door don't call the shots. One day China will be a real superpower of twenty-first century commerce; perhaps the new supreme power. But for the moment it is inching along that road, censoring its internet offerings, watching the programmes that are beamed from its skies. You can sit this one out if it gags in your throat, or you can bob and weave in the conviction that the process of opening up is on your side. A debate about ways and means, not between black and white.
Thus to the next, and maybe last, great adventure: Rupert's problematical and pending merger with DirecTV, the building of the world's first global satellite service covering Asia, Europe, North and South America. A dream of 10 years coming to final fruition. Untold riches as a glint in the eye. Yet here again the gamble is great and the odds on success little better than even. Will satellite in the ultimate analysis be able to match what cable and broadband telephone can provide? He may believe that; millions don't. The fight is already a bloody one that reveals what you might call the real continuing curse of Murdoch. For a man worth $9 billion or so, he's always curiously short of ready money, and seems so again. He almost stumbled 10 years ago. He found heavy weather through 2000, and, for all the vaulting ambition of the moment, has a hiring freeze in place. The core businesses he leaves behind never seem to make quite enough to reduce the ocean of debt News Corp has grown accustomed to.
Is BSkyB a cash cow? No, the digital frenzy pushed it deep into a loss. Does the Star over Asia show a profit? Not yet, not yet. Will any merger with DirecTV generate enough investment to see off America's cable and broadband giants? Billions will be torn up in the attempt, win or lose (and the fact that he has Bill Gates, another misser of the internet bus, in his corner does not precisely reassure).
But here, even in triumph, is the way that empire ends in any case. The intricate, tax-defraying nature of News Corp has become too much of a personal tangle. Does anyone, apart from Rupert, really understand it? We're into an unbundling of flotations that started last year with Sky Global Networks, stalled, and will succeed now only if there is something to succeed with. The future, more and more, rests with separate, shared enterprises able to attract their own flows of investment rather than wallow in the general maw. What price, one day, even the old crown jewels of News International?
It is Rupert's own version of devolution, but it also fragments the empire and makes the job of the next generation more complex still. The days when he could demand the detail of everything he owned, barking down the telephone, have faded. Cultural imperialism is one thing, World Citizen Kanery rather another. Though he still gabs away rather too freely for the liking of his lieutenants - see his latest observation that Tony Blair is 'deluded' about Europe - the new Murdoch needs, of necessity, to be less seen and less heard. Perceptually, he can be defined as the problem and not the opportunity.
These are very deep waters. He has able lieutenants. He has usually been a good picker of managerial talent (as well as of editors). He has firm alliances with cable movers and shakers like John Malone. But transitions - as King Lear discovered - are the very devil; and voluntarily relinquishing old ways of control don't get easier in the eighth decade.
He is, make no mistake, a family man. He wants the warmth of his family, his children and their partners, around him. Sons-in-law get a job on the payroll. Nobody at News Corp doubts where power, once passed, will remain. The breakdown of his marriage to Anna and remarriage to Wendi Deng were not done easily or with a light heart. The owner of the News of the World is, perversely, a moral conservative: one contradiction among hundreds. But where there are families, there is also rich scope for feuding and fallings out. Step mothers the same age as the kids do not naturally fit; too much ambition piled upon a single, balding head carries its own crushing weight.
That is why, just for once, it is necessary to set Rupert Murdoch in the time capsule of his seventieth anniversary. Forget work in progress, because work is always in progress. Concentrate on what he has done.
It is a mixed ledger, to be sure. Those who want hanging cases have all the ammunition they could wish for. But it is also a story of brute resolve and drive, and courage at a crunch. Ask not where we have come with him, but where we would have been without him. Goodbye Robert Maxwell: you were utterly out-matched.
Goodbye, less obviously, Conrad Black: you are a (Canadian) seller of titles and a buyer no more; you are out of the race.
The difficulty, I think, is that if Rupert Murdoch had not existed, it would have been necessary to invent him. And the sins we visit on him - of cynicism, calculation, manipulation - are often no more than a reflection of our own weaknesses. When Tony Blair kow-tows, he tells us about New Labour, not Murdoch. When the rival press mounts its ritual attacks, the question is not what he has got away with, but what we let him get away with.
So happy birthday to the lion as winter nears. We can always resume normal service once the candles are off the cake and the last snows have melted.
