Mitchell: QuestMature
My hand was almost robotic as I put my hand on top of Brett's. Elena, Mistle, Defiant and Aphrodite all did the same. I could never turn down a quest.
"So," I said. "What's the quest?" I asked, looking directly at Aphrodite.
"Well, essentially, we're going to go to find my mother." She explained. I nodded.
They all started planning, so I sat down on a log, and stared at the charred body of the man who I used to trust. I never found out his name. Oh well.
"His name was Matt. Well, Matthew, but, you know..." Elena said, walking over to me.
"I can read minds, remember?" she said, sitting down next to me.
"Oh, yeah. What else did you find out about him?" I asked, really interested, now.
"Well, I know that he really hated you. He knew you before he even met you. That's why he turned you. So that you could build a bond with him, and then he could kill you. He would've loved it. He wanted to see the shock and the sadness in your eyes as he killed you."
"Thanks...I think..." No guilt, what so ever for killing that bastard. "Was there anything else that you could find out?" I asked.

For XML, I think trusting the XML parser, and not the servlet container is a better way to go. That means handing the XML parser an InputStream instead of a Reader. There *is* one place I think we should use UTF-8 when there isn't a charset specified: a POST with "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded". a) You can't get browsers to put a charset there. b) Browsers by default encode the form data in the charset of the form. c) We know more than the servlet container in this instance... we know at least that our admin pages use UTF-8, and that a POST coming from them will be UTF-8. -Yonik

In a land where anything is possible a princess rebels against her tyrannical parents for the many wrongs they have done. Along the way she meets with kingdoms that will aid in her battle.
In this medieval set time, will the princess prevail?
"Ma'am, you have to decide."
"We have to fight."
The sun was blazing, or so i was told. The day i was born was like no other in the kingdom of Luneria. People in the streets went to their jobs happy that day. Little did they know i was going to live up to my name's definition. Fiery one.
I believe my parents took the best care of me when they weren't busy with other things to do. You wouldn't blame them though. Not many people have the ability to run a beautiful kingdom such as Luneria.
But once i turned 15, they changed. They weren't my always smiling parents anymore. They turned cold and bitter. I don't know why they changed but it was not for the better. They started to wreak havoc on our neighboring kingdom, Emerillys.
They sent their guards to kill everyone and burn everything.
I did not notice this difference in my beloved parents until i hit the age of 18, they set up an arranged marriage for me with Prince Neo of Orkidd. I had no intention on marrying someone I barely knew. And if i didn't marry him my parents would kill his whole kingdom with the snap of their fingers. I had to do something to stop them. Even if that means having my hands stained with the blood of my parents.

Personal Campaign
Rosa is gathering 10 signatures to
Remove Offensive Language From New Mexico State Vehicles
la vida de los perros se respeta... de verdad....que los asesinos pagaran por el crimen.....
la vida de los perros se respeta... de verdad....que los asesinos pagaran por el crimen.....
This Campaign matters to me so very much because growing up with a terribly cruel father who would encourage me, and most times threaten me bodily harm if I did not participate in torturing small animals such as birds, throwing them out of their nest after just hatching leaving them there to die. physically abusing every puppy, or kitten I ever had, and making me participate or I would be kicked, or thrown across the room which happened a few times due to my refusing to join him in his drunken madness, etc. I remember once when he had taken me to the beach, and told me to gather up all the snails I could find. When I asked why, he said we were going to play a game.. Well, I did what he said primarily out of fear, and I was only seven years old at this time. As I brought up a bucket filled with a little over a dozen snails he had started a fire on a grill, and with whiskey bottle in hand.. As usual, he told me to place them on the grill. Again I asked why but this time I received a backhand to my mouth, and tasted blood!.. His reply was, "Because I told you to mouthy bitch!".. I picked myself, and the snails up out of the sand and did as he told me to do. We stood there for what seemed at least almost twenty minutes, and he said while drinking, and laughing.. "Now just watch this!" "Those little bastards are going to try and crawl out to escape but we are going to burn them alive!".. I was horrified, and started to cry receiving another blow but this time to the side of my head with his fist!.. So I shut down emotionally at that very moment. I became numb. I stood there and watched these poor little creatures try to escape from their shell only to be burned to death alive, and I could even hear them making a tiny squealing sound, which made me so sick to my stomach, as my father drank, and laughed!.. When I was nine years old my father drowned my kitten "Cali" which was short for Calico. She was only a little less than eight weeks old, and very fragile. We lived in a trailer with a very large pond behind it, and he had been drinking, sitting there behind the trailer with a bottle of whiskey between his legs calling for my "Cali".. Next thing I heard was a loud splash, and her cries for help which will forever haunt me for the rest of my life!.. Then I heard him laughing maniacally, and shining this huge flashlight out over the water still laughing just to watch her drown!.. I remember crawling into my closet with my hands over my ears, and sobbing uncontrollably screaming.. "Why Daddy!?" "How could you have done that to me and the only thing I loved in this world so much!?".. Finally, what seemed to be endless was over in a matter of approximately 10-15 minutes. Even through my sobs, and screams I could hear "Cali" crying out, and trying to swim for her life while my father watched and laughed!.. I lived with his cruelty until I was twelve years old when my parents finally divorced but the damage had already been done, and was irreversible!.. That is why I am so very passionate about keeping children, wildlife, animals safe to a fault!.. I cannot stand to see anyone, or any animal suffer!.. I automatically go back to that little girl, and to be honest.. I lose it!.. It's as if I am on auto pilot, and just cannot stop that trigger in my head that snaps!.. I believe many of these children perform these horrendous acts to please their parent/parents, or like me are coerced, threatened and intimidated!.. I broke those chains. That cycle of violence, and ignorance, so I would raise my son to be a compassionate, loving human being!.. We all have our own motivations for chasing these causes as we do. This is my motivation, and will always be until I cross over to the other side.. ❤¸.•*¨¸¸.•¨¯`•¸.•´❤Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing... ღ‿ღ Start From The Heart ღ‿ღ
Please consider joining this Cause. Mike
This kind of thinking given to a CHILD's MIND where a CHILD can not figure out the reasoning WHY they are doing this to an animal, to then WHY not their Brother or Sister or friend? This could be totally devasting out come for the child.

Holiday shopping with Product Search and Checkout

Falling like broken angels
There were no objections, no brilliant plans, no alternatives offered. There were no thoughts given, no words spoken, no accusations made. I still felt them though, the pressure of eyes upon me, the weight of expectation. And something else from Red, something I've felt before from other people. Something I think I've forgotten to remember. I pushed it away, smiled as brightly as a small child asking for money for ice-cream, and encouraged everyone to get started on their part of the plan.
Q disappeared behind his computer screen quickly enough, but at least part of that would be him not wanting to talk to me again, feeling betrayed that he's being left behind. Laika just disappeared, and I let her go this time. Red assured me that she'd be fine with his explanation, that she'd be happy kept away from the real plan. I can't help but wonder though, she's not stupid. Just... oh damn, it's not her is it? It's me. Labelling people when I should be listening to them. Let her go. Trust her to do the right thing. And throw away the label I've slapped on her, and try seeing her as another human being.
Red called the Mayor back. I didn't listen to the call, I know I'd not be able to keep quiet listening to that vile, odious man try to spin this whole fiasco as Grozny's doing. When Red comes into the room where I'm packing a small holdall I'd found in our stolen ambulance he walks quietly and looks slightly saddened.
"We're meeting him at the park by the docks," he says, making me jump. I turn to face him; his face half shadowed, half lit by the twilight through the window. "An hour's time."
"I know it," I say. "Dufresne Park. It's quite big, didn't he say where we'd meet in it?"
Red nods. "He said there's an old bandstand. There's a door in the base, painted blue. We're to meet outside that door."
I don't say anything for a few moments; Joel and I used to go to the old bandstand on Sundays for the view it gave across the bay. "I know the one," I say. "I can show you."
Red laughs, a sexy chuckle, and I realise that he must know the city better than I do, given that he's painted so much of it.
"Oh, well... well, you know what I mean." I say.
"You're easier to understand when I can't see your face," he says. "When I can see your face there's so little emotion, so much control. It's like looking at a ventriloquist's dummy, the voice is always coming from somewhere else."
I don't know whether to be hurt by that, so I shrug it off. "Gottle of Geer?" I say, holding up a thermos flask, and then putting in the holdall and zipping it shut.
"Coffee. Sorry."
"Oh don't be, coffee's much better. It's snowing again."
I look out the window and sure enough, soft feathery white flakes of snow are drifting slowly down again. "Let's get going then, it'll take us longer to get there in the snow. Have you been to the toilet?" I wink to show it's a joke, and to my relief he laughs.
"Yes, mummy! Who's driving then?"
"Q." It's a little mean, but I can't resist, and the look of shock on his face makes me break into delighted laughter. He lets me laugh for a few moments then shakes his head in mock disgust.
"I'll drive then, you're clearly far too cheerful to be trusted with an ambulance."
"No-one wants a happy looking paramedic climbing out of an ambulance. Can you imagine it, the paramedic grinning at you and saying, wow that looks like a nasty accident. This is just great, I love my job! Paramedics have to be solemn and worried-looking. Like funeral directors."
I give him a push, aiming for an undamaged spot. "Get going, you, and make sure you've got a coat. It's cold out there."
We park the ambulance under some trees near the car-park for Dufresne Park after a slow but uneventful drive. Red fusses, reversing several times until he's happy that the ambulance is both hidden from any casual passers-by and ready to drive out and into the car-park fast. Then we get out, and I check my watch. We have twenty minutes.
"Are we doing the right thing?"
He shrugs. "We're doing something, we have to. We can't just hide out in an aquarium until we smell of fish and then go and live with the mermaids."
I laugh a little, and as we start to walk the seriousness of the situation strikes me.
"He might have a gun."
"He might have men there and they might all have guns."
"And if that's the case...?"
"Then we think of something else. At gunpoint, so it had better be fast."
I don't think, I just do it, I pop up on my tiptoes and kiss him quickly, briefly, on the lips.
"Let's hope he's on the level then."
Red says nothing, and I know I shouldn't have kissed him, but we've been through too much together now for us to be shot to death by Wilkerson's firing squad without him knowing that he means something to me. Around us the snow continues to swirl, heavy wet flakes falling like broken angels.

Catherine Zeta-Jones is a Cool Winter. Why is she a Cool Winter and not a Deep Winter? It can be a fine line between the two seasons but it's the absence of any warmth in her skin, hair and eyes that indicate she's "cool" rather than "deep". See what I mean in the next two pictures below.
See how the golden yellow top and warm highlights in her hair doesn't really do much for her, especially when compared to when she's wearing black and her hair is a uniform dark brown as in the previous picture?
Here's another clue Catherine's a "Cool" season: see how the bronzer she uses on her face appears orange and unflattering? A Deep Winter can use some bronzer (lightly) to warm up her skin. It doesn't work well for Catherine.
Here's Catherine again looking great in black and no golden brown makeup. She looks terrific.

Leading Others Through Change (4 of 17) by Chuck McAlister
This content is part of a series.Sermon: LEADING OTHERS THROUGH CHANGE #4
Series: EMPOWERED BY GOD ... TO FOLLOW YOUR DREAM
Dr. Chuck McAlister
(Nehemiah 2:10-20)
-- Great little book ... Who Moved My Cheese? By: Spencer Johnson
-- Can read it in an hour or less ... A parable about change ...
... Story of 2 mice and 2 little people who live in a maze and everyday go out in search of cheese until one day they find a huge stash of cheese at Cheese Station C.
... The 2 little people, Hem and Haw, settle into a routine of coming to Cheese Station C everyday with their 2 little mice buddies, Scurry and Sniff.
... One morning they arrive at Cheese Station C and there is no cheese ... Sniff and Scurry look at each other ... put their running shoes on ... and scurry off to sniff out new cheese ... They quickly adapt ... They change.
... Hem and Haw immediately begin to fuss about how unfair it is that the cheese is gone ... Both refuse to adapt at first ... until finally Haw leaves his friend, Hem ... all hemmed in ... to go out in search of new cheese.
(A) As I said earlier ... this is a parable ...
1- Cheese ... represents what you want ... your dream for your job ... relationships ... finances ... health ... children ... family ...etc.
2- The maze is where you look for your dream to be fulfilled.
(B) There are 4 powerful lessons about change taught in this tiny book:
1- Change Happens ... they keep moving the cheese.
2- Anticipate Change ... get ready for the cheese to move.
3- Monitor Change ... smell the cheese often so you know when it is getting old.
4- Adapt to Change Quickly ... the quicker you let go of old cheese, the sooner you can enjoy new cheese.
-- In the story ... Haw learns to adapt because he gains a vision of new cheese ... and has a dream of finding new cheese ... while Hem refuses to make the change and listen to his friend ... He stays all hemmed in and angry about the changes he must face.
(C) Like it or not ... ...

McIlroy back for 'unfinished business' at Honda Classic
(Reuters) - One of Rory McIlroy's lowest points during a frustrating 2013 campaign came at the Honda Classic in Florida but the Northern Irishman is looking forward to returning to "one of my favorite events" for this year's edition.
McIlroy on Monday announced his intention to compete from February 27-March 2 at PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens where he won the tournament in 2012 after holding off a final-round charge from Tiger Woods to take over as world number one.
"I really can't wait to get back to The Honda," twice major winner McIlroy, now ranked seventh, said in a statement. "It is one of my favorite events of the year, and winning in 2012 was an important landmark in my career.
"Having a place in Palm Beach now also gives the tournament a kind of special feeling - nearly like a home event. Last year, admittedly, I had a tough week; a forgettable week.
"I guess I let frustrations get the better of me and perhaps should have adopted a more mature approach."
Twelve months ago, McIlroy withdrew from the PGA Tour event after eight holes of his second round, initially saying he was in a "bad place mentally" and then later citing toothache.
His actions earned him widespread criticism by his peers, golfing great Jack Nicklaus saying the Northern Irishman had been wrong to walk off the course and that if he "had thought about it for five minutes, he wouldn't have done it."
McIlroy had clearly been frustrated by a poor start to his 2013 season, having played just four full professional rounds in three months. Continued...

AN: A b-day gift for The Sorrowful Vampress. I know that you probably wanted smut, and I apologize at my complete and utter failure as a writer.
Even years later, Stark doesn't know why he did it. Why he would risk so much for a Shinigami. Much less a captain and not to mention the friend of someone who seemed rather determined to kill him at the time.
Memories of that day are still sketchy at best. Just little flashes that dance across his thoughts at odd times. Recollections of being all but slashed clean through and falling to the hard pavement below. Of not being quite as defeated as believed and merely playing dead as the battle continues on around him. He just watches from his half-hidden spot amidst the debris as Halibel's taken down by the same man she all but worships. As her lord and master discards her like a human would a piece of trash before turning on the others.
And one by one, the Shinigami and their allies fall to the three traitors. Bested by Tousen's bankai and preternatural senses. Defeated by Ichimaru's blur of motion and his quicksilver strikes. Betrayed by their own minds as Aizen looks on impassively.
He doesn't know how, but his opponent from before, the man in pink, ends up crashing down not too far from him. And Stark can see him struggling to rise, desperate to get to his feet as Aizen approaches. However, he isn't attempting to fight on or even to run. Instead, he has a different objective in mind. One that's even now bleeding on the ground a distance from them. Not too far but more than far enough.
Stark can see his goal – his white-haired companion from earlier. But he knows that the captain will never make it in time. That the rapidly approaching Ichimaru will intercept him. That he will have to watch his friend die – be murdered – right before his very eyes. That he will be powerless and alone and completely decimated. That Aizen will only give his signature smile as he goes in for the slaughter.
Cruel. Merciless. Unrepentant of the heartache and sorrow he causes. Uncaring for the destruction and death and devastation all around him. Aizen doesn't care for anything or anyone but himself. Not his fellow traitors. Not his Espada, his so-called children. Not Barragan or Halibel. Not Stark.
And somehow, without even realizing that he's done it, Stark is on his feet then. Is running, racing as fast as he can. The world a haze around him before it all fades to the sensation of pain and shocked brown eyes. Lilinette screaming in his head and the sound of a cero and a sword clattering to the pavement. Then, there's blissful nothingness.
He wakes to white hair. To the slide of strands fluttering in the breeze from the open window. There is a strange pink outline just to the side, and it takes Stark a few minutes to realize that there are in fact two people sleeping in the chairs by his bedside. And that no, he isn't dead or even hallucinating this fact. He's in what appears to be a hospital room with two Shinigami – two unconscious and blissfully asleep Shinigami – and no one has lost their head yet.
Surely, the world is coming to an end.
That thought is still skittering across his understandably aching brain when one of the men wakes with a start. Perhaps drawn to alertness by the sudden rise of Stark's own reiatsu. Either way, the man in pink jerks up with a start, rousing his friend in the process. The three of them – Stark and the two captains – stare at each other for a few seconds. An Espada versus a pale man with equally pale hair and a soft smile and another Shinigami with all-too-knowing eyes and a very strange looking hat. He just glances from one to the other. Pink and brown to white on white. And back. Gauging their expressions. The way that their hands are loose at their sides and swords not even in sight. That both of them are in hospital robes underneath their haori. And isn't that such an odd thing?
Stark thinks to ask why he's there. Why they saved him, healed him when he's just an Arrancar. An ex-Espada to be specific but an Arrancar nonetheless. Little more than an intelligent Hollow to them. But inevitably and in a fashion all too typical for him in the mornings just after he has woken, the first thing out of his mouth is not even reasonably sensible.
"Your eyebrows don't match." He can all but imagine Lilinette smacking her hand to her forehead.
One of them – Ukitake, is it? – blinks at him. "Um… What?"
"Your eyebrows… they don't match your hair," Stark clarifies and then very slowly sits up. Watching them watching him. Trying not to start when the pink one moves to help him.
He allows the contact because Stark honestly isn't sure he can manage without it. His stomach muscles are giving him a very unpleasant jabbing sensation that complements the dull ache pulsing through the rest of him. He rather feels like he's gone ten rounds with both Grimmjow and Nnoitra followed by a side-helping of Barragan because he's just that masochistic sometimes. Or like he decided to fight Yammy after he's released, which is always a stupid, stupid thing to do. He learned his lesson the first time, thank you very much. Lilinette only reinforced it, making his ears ring for days afterwards.
And speaking of the devil herself…
"Where's Lilinette?" he asks then because she certainly isn't there with him. In either sense of the phrase. Definitely not at his side as she usually is and probably should be.
The two men glance at each other before turning back to him. The one in pink removes his hat and rotates it in his hands.
"Your… er…" Kyouraku – is that his name? – falters. "Person? Counterpart? Daughter?"
"Sister?" Ukitake suggests with a smile.
"Your sister is probably off with Retsu-senpai and that little girl Kurosaki-kun brought back with him," his friend finishes, fiddling with his hat a minute more before putting it back on his head. "I'm sure she's just fine."
Stark stiffens and briefly feels for her reiatsu. Pulling on the link that always exists between them. She seems fine. But that doesn't mean anything. Doesn't mean that will last. She's an Arrancar deep in Shinigami territory, surrounded by strangers. People who would as soon kill her than look at her, child-form or not.
He begins to rise from his bed before that thought even completes itself. But there are unexpected hands on his shoulders, keeping him down with an ease that should be embarrassing under normal circumstances.
"None of that now," Kyouraku informs him with another gentle push. "She'll be fine. I promise."
"Senpai is not in the habit of harming children," Ukitake continues as he promptly covers Stark with his blanket and tucks in the edges. "And Ichigo-kun would not take a threat to her or his charge too lightly either."
Kyouraku grins at that. "He certainly has a way with the ladies, doesn't he, Jyuu? All the little girls love him," the man adds in a conspiratorial whisper. "First, Rukia-chan. Then Hime-chan. Now, Nel-chan and our new friend's dear sister. I'm just waiting for him to steal away my Nanao-chan."
Ukitake snickers beside him. "Don't let Ise-san hear you say that. She might just take him up on it."
That earns him a pout from Kyouraku and an almost-twitch from Stark. He can't decide if he's bemused or amused or simply just hallucinating. This is all too surreal. Doubly so when they turn to him with grins that slip away as they watch at him, and Stark can only imagine what he must look like. He can tell from the subtle ache to his jaw just above his mask that it can't be pretty.
"Stark-san?" Ukitake questions. Not unsure or casually curious. Something else entirely is present.
The Espada… the former Espada glances up. He can only gaze at them. Can only look from one to next with complete incomprehension. He doesn't understand this at all. Doesn't understand why they are even here. Why he is here.
"Are you alright?" Kyouraku asks next, and he's either a very good actor or that's genuine concern. He tilts his head when there is no answer. "Are you still with us?"
He doesn't nod, but it's a near thing. And his lips form the word before Stark can stop himself.
"Why?" He finally gives voice to the thing he needs most to hear. "Why would you do this? Why are you doing this? Why are you being so--"
Nice. Friendly. Reasonable.
"--understanding?" Stark finishes. He shakes his head at their surprised expressions. "You're Shinigami. I'm an Arrancar. Why am I even here?"
'Why am I not dead?' is his unvoiced question.
He doesn't have to say it for them to still know. For both of them to simply gaze at him with unfathomable eyes that say everything and nothing and make Stark's heart give a painful jolt when they refuse to glance away. He feels his hands clench into fists at that, at them just watching him. At feeling like butterfly on display, pinned into place by their looks until he can't help but bite his own lip in an effort to keep silent, and Ukitake's resulting grasp on his wrist is unexpected yet somehow not unwelcome. Touch warm and easy and somehow familiar.
"How could we not help you when you helped me first?" Ukitake returns, and his eyes are impossibly bright and gleaming as his fingers smooth over the skin of Stark's fingers. "How could we not save such a person who would go to such lengths for an enemy? I would've died, you know. Aizen was very much determined to kill me. And yet… Yet--"
"--you got in the way," Kyouraku inserts. "You put yourself in the way," he corrects after a second and leans forward to rest one elbow on Stark's bed, face now disconcertingly close. "You didn't have to do that. You could've easily fled while we were distracted. Could've just as easily cut me down and gotten back in Aizen's good graces."
Stark can't help but snort. "Aizen doesn't have good graces. Besides, it wasn't like I'd even wanted to fight in the first place. You weren't my enemy. Not really."
"That's very true, my friend," Kyouraku lifts an eyebrow and laughs. "I am not your enemy. Certainly not now." He shoots a glance to his companion. "But it was more than that as well. We could hardly let you die after what you did. Saving Jyuushiro and then killing Aizen like that."
Reality comes to an abrupt and grinding halt. It cracks and fizzles as those words start to sink in. Making absolutely no goddamned sense.
"I…" Stark merely blinks and replays that in his head. "What? I did what?"
"You killed Aizen Sousuke," Ukitake replies cautiously. "Rather… brutally, I might add."
It's difficult to keep his mouth from dropping open. "When? How?" Stark all but demands.
That earns him a lifted eyebrow. He sees them look at each other and have a whole conversation without any words. Exchanging with subtle flicks and movements what it would take Stark himself hours to impart to anyone but Lilinette. Turning to him in unison afterwards and just studying him for several long minutes before speaking again.
"How much do you remember?" Kyouraku asks, and his voice is deceptively light for the sudden hardness in his gaze.
And how much does he remember?
Flashes. Pieces. Shards. Shouts that rip through the air in his wake. The hot splash of liquid on his face as he shoves Ukitake out of the way and goes down in a tangle of limbs. Being subsequently coughed on in a very unattractive and gross fashion, particularly when it gets in his mouth. Rolling to his feet and turning to Aizen. And then…
And then… then… nothing. Almost nothing. Only the taste of blood on his tongue and absolute agony that burns through his veins. And just before the black consumes him, the feel of fingers brushing hair from his eyes. Soft and gentle. Cupping his face.
"I don't…" Stark attempts, but it falls flat. "How did I do it?"
Again, they talk without speaking to one another. Only this time, Ukitake is the one to respond first.
"You shot him point-blank with a cero." He says it matter-of-factly, but there's a peculiar undertone.
Kyouraku is nodding beside him and even thinks to add, "And then stabbed him with his own zanpakutou. Apparently, not even a Vizard can survive being skewered through the eye."
Stark really does feel his mouth drop open this time. And words fail him utterly as he attempts to put that into some semblance of sense. As his brain short-circuits and can only draw a blank. He can honestly say that he doesn't remember doing that at all. It just seems so out of character for him. So completely off the deep-end to react in such a manner for anyone short of Lilinette. So strange. So utterly bizarre but somehow fitting. Somehow recognizable and familiar.
Just like the men before him. Friendly and welcoming despite the true of what he is. That he should be their enemy at the very least. That they should have left him to die or put an end to him themselves. That Lilinette shouldn't be off playing – and he's certain that was what she's doing – but should already be dead. Not coddled. Not healed. Just destroyed, put down like some animal.
And yet, they hadn't.
It's all so very confusing.
However, even his haze of bewilderment is driven away when the door to his room suddenly slides open. A woman stands in the doorway then, dark of hair but with very blue eyes. She bows deeply, the edges of her white haori brushing the ground as she steps inside. Her voice is soft as she introduces herself and glides to his bedside, gaze drifting to her two fellow captains and remaining. Taking in the haori over their hospital garments and the very sheepish cast to Ukitake's face while Kyouraku studies the far wall with unexpected interest.
"I did not expect both of you to be awake, much less away from your beds." Not quite an accusation but it comes close. "I believe it would be best if I could examine my patient now, gentlemen."
It isn't a request, and she doesn't make a shooing motion. But the intent is there in her honeyed tone. As if they would do anything but listen. There is too much smooth authority in her demeanor, too much steel underneath the silken exterior. Kyouraku and Ukitake seem to rise without even realizing it, both flushing like naughty schoolboys caught by their teacher. But they hesitate then, as if they can't decide if they should immediately obey or if they can loiter a bit longer.
A raised eyebrow decides for them.
They both sigh. Ukitake brushes back a stray strand of hair and nibbles on his lip before looking to his friend. Kyouraku gives him a nod, and then, he puts a hand to Stark's shoulder in farewell and squeezes.
That should be a surprise. After all, Shinigami don't touch Hollows. Not once. Not ever. Not for anything. It should be a surprise, but it isn't. He's already broken that unspoken rule three times and counting just since Stark has been awake.
"It was good talking with you." His fingers are very warm, even through the fabric between them. "We'll be back later. Promise."
He says it in such a way that Stark can't help but believe him. Can't do anything but want to believe him.
Anything he wishes to say in return though is driven away as Ukitake leans down. Stark has a second to see all that white hair sweep across his field of vision before a gentle kiss is brushed to his cheek. He's too shocked to even be embarrassed as Ukitake drifts to his ear.
"She'll take very good care of you," he murmurs, breath ghosting across skin. "We'll see you in a little while."
His mouth lingers for a moment more and then pulls back. He just smiles, eyes twinkling in what's coming to be an all-too-frequent manner as he steps away. But somehow, Stark is already reaching for his sleeve.
"No, wait… Don't go. Stay," he says in a voice that isn't at all like himself, hoarse and almost breathless. Face on fire where Ukitake touched him. "They can stay," he tells the healer. "I don't mind. And there's more than enough room in here anyway."
He nods at the empty beds in the room, and it doesn't take a genius to figure out why an Arrancar would be given a private place to recover. But they're here now, and he honestly doesn't want them to leave.
She remains silent at his statement. Just standing there for a few heartbeats before tilting her head in a motion of comprehension, gaze flickering to the others. They, in turn, blink at Stark in astonishment. As if they didn't expect him to want them around.
But he does, he realizes. He wants them there. He doesn't want them to leave. Not now.
It's such a strange thing to have others be kind to him. To have them care. It isn't the same with Lilinette; she is him, after all. And always will be. This is different. They are different.
He doesn't know if he'd be able to watch them leave. Even for a little while. Always the chance that they won't come back. No one else ever has.
"Don't go," Stark repeats. And his voice says everything that he can't. "Stay."
They do.
Ever Hopeful,

This paper reports some limitations of the axial analysis theory as a basis for modeling the distribution of vehicular movement with a relationship study between the syntax configuration of a North American city and its vehicular flow pattern. Along with the relevance of the axial-line philosophy of capturing vehicular trip-makers' route-choice decisions, many general concerns dealing with the effects of network character, land use, traffic congestion, and configuration boundary have been critically analyzed with theoretical and empirical research results. A few procedural concerns have also been discussed. The conclusions suggest that the inclusion of the real-world variables of traffic and network studies into the methodology of generating configuration–movement relationships is expected to make the space syntax approach to modeling vehicular movement networks comprehensive.

Missing the Past
The numbness has spread from her feet.
The tingly feeling has reached the top of her thigh.
She is not even trying to think what is going on.
She just wants to be alive again.
Alive, before her life turned dark.
Before she reached the end of innocence.
When she was a carefree girl.
Swinging and hugging her teddies.
A sudden rush of nostalgia hit her.
She misses her old family.
She misses life.
She misses her old, true self.

Real movers are anything but real! They promised to move our stuff from New Jersey to Arizona, after we signed and packed up, there was no date of delivery, no way to talk to anyone there, they don't answer the phones.
They promised, if we paid extra, they would take better care of our fragile stuff, well, that was a lie! We have multiple "pieces" of our things that were broken or damaged because they use tape for eveything, even fragile stuff, no boxes.
The saleman, Mark, promised to be there from beginning to end, another lie! He won't even return a phone call.
They promised to take apart and put together our work out equipment, that was a lie! They left our work out equipment in the garage in pieces and ALL the hardware to put them back together is missing.
They promised to pack up whatever we didn't and used plastic tape to hold the items together, when the items finally rached us, they were indescribable.
Mark charged us one price for cubic feet, and the actual mover men, (who don't speak english) tried to charge us another price for our stuff saying we used more cubic feet than Mark quoted us at. My husband went into the moving truck to point out the difference and there WAS a huge difference in the price. If my husband didn't go into their truck, they would have gotten an extra $1030.00. Now the movers were really mad, and moved our stuff like it was junk. Dropped many things, right in front of us, marked up ALL my walls and broke many things too.
Ron, the owner, said to deal with only him, to resolve our issues and he doesn't reply to emails or phone calls.

Patna, Jan 25 (UNI) Bihar Building Construction Minister Monazir Hasan and six other passengers had a miraculous escape when a state government aircraft crashlanded at Patna airport this evening.
Dr Hasan and six others, however, sustained minor injuries as the aircraft caught fire on crash landing.
The incident occurred as Dr Hasan and six others travelling in the same aircraft were returning here from an official trip to Chapra. As the plane was about to land, its front wheel got stuck and could not be opened on time.
As a result, the plane crashlanded before being caught on fire, slightly injuring the Minister and others.
The aircraft was, however, badly damaged, official sources here said.
Later speaking to UNI, Dr Hasan thanked the Almighty for their miraculous escape and described his and others' injuries as minor.
'' We just jumped out of the burning aircraft after it crashlanded and escaped with minor injuries, '' the Minister stated.

Lytro provides more exposure control and additional colors
Lytro has announced an update that provides greater exposure control for its Light Field Camera. It will also be offering the 8GB version of the camera in two addition colors - Moxie Pink and Seaglass that will be availble from Target.com/CityTarget stores and the Lytro website respectively. The update, that will be available to all existing customers, adds a manual mode, that provides control over shutter speed and ISO (aperture always being wide open). If you decide to specify both parameters, it becomes possible to apply exposure compensation and apply the camera's built-in ND filter.
The announcements come in the wake of Lytro expanding its distribution to include Australia, Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong and a range of retailers in the US, including Amazon.com, Best Buy and selected City Target stores.
|Moxie Pink (left) will be available from selected City Target stores and Target.com, while Seaglass (second-left), will only be available directly from Lytro.com

I had a chance to use a Lytro and can honestly say, I would not spend a penny over $20 for it.
Most normal images (by normal I mean the common photo that the average person would take with their camera) do not show any benefit of the light field crap, the shots have to be macro and there is only a specific range at which the objects are located (generally around 1-4 feet).
It also seems to behave like a focus bracketed image as there are certain locations where you know for a fact that it is further away but it shows no difference. For example You take a picture of a basketball that is about 1.5 feet away and the focus adjustment is not gradual, I cant click every few pixels across it and have it bring different parts of the ball into focus, it just snaps when you get to an area that is far enough.
Overall as it is now, it is a horrible camera that reminds me of a bad cellphone camera.
I bought a Lytro a month ago to evaluate for inspection applications. And up to a couple of days ago I agreed with all the comments about how unsuited it is for "photography" or the consumer market. The resolution is poor by modern standards, the screen is tiny, hard to focus, and it is awkward to hold. But then I had the strangest experience. First I spent an hour with my images, clicking here and there to refocus on different regions. Then I went to the Lytro website and played with contest winnning images. Then I came back to Dpreview as usual and looked at pictures here. All of sudden, what I knew were good pictures seemed dull, lifeless, flat. You could not do anything with them. You just look at them. Lytro has created something that is more engaging than a photograph. It is fun to explore them. Fun to puzzle out what the Lytrographer had in mind for you to play with. Sometimes obvious, sometimes subtle. It opens up entirely new ways to be creative.
I would actually give this a try if the images format was an open standard...at this stage you can either view the images in the desktop program from Lytro or export them as flash files. Given that flash is well and truly on the decline and Lytro could disappear next year, remind me why I would commit my memories to this technology with proprietary image formats...
What would you do with the image data if it were an one standard? The system is effectively dead, no one else is ever going to write software to deal with the files.
You'd need them not only to open the standard, but to open the source to the software.
The main problem with the Lytro seems to be that they're targeting a technology that's invariably going to be found most appealing by enthusiasts at the casual market. All these pretty colours, fancy marketing, etc aren't going to obscure its shortcomings from us, and the casual types they're seemingly trying to appeal to aren't going to bother with something so weird-looking and niche.
I understand they need to take small steps initially while funding is low and the market needs to be proven, but putting out products that simply aren't viable isn't going to help matters. Lytro need to take some inspiration from Fujifilm's marketing and put together a product and campaign that speaks to us enthusiasts who can see the technological potential of light field photography, rather than something hampered to the point of uselessness by production costs and marketing misfires.
Lytro's just arrived in my shop today (Aus). I love that someone is trying to bring something genuinely new to the market. In its current form it may not set the photography world on fire but it hardly deserves the pasting it's received from most of you.
Light field imaging has potential. Lytro gives average consumers a chance to experience it. Dont hate... Innovate ;)
I guess there will be a Lytro discussion forum here any day now.
Many of us are very intrigued by the idea of light field technology. It is the execution and marketing of this product that deserves the pasting. Once the novelty of playing with changing what is in focus on some images wears off, wouldn't most people find it pretty useless as a camera?
However if someone will come up with a way so I can fine tune the focus after the fact by just an inch on active portraits shot with my 5DIII... I could get the eyes tack sharp on almost every frame when shooting at large to moderate apertures.
So when that 200+ megapixel professional Lytro camera comes out, let's see how people react.
Gaffman, it is genuinely innovative in the camera market, but unless they have revised their marketing blurb, so many people reading it thought they would get usable JPGs from the camera.
You don't. Posting a LINK on Facebook to your image hosted on lytro.com is the most likely use.
You can't even send the output by e-mail, just a link.
The greatest challenge for the Lytro LF Camera is to find a really truly genuine USE for it.
The Wankel was great. The Segway was great.
The Lytro LF is great!
...great gadget, users please apply within.
That is not fair. There are some practical uses for the segway, and Wankel engines do have pretty good performance.
Quite true, Joseph.
They (Wankel and Segway) have their uses, albeit a niche market, but useful.
The Lytro has to find that niche.
It is an interesting concept. However, I think the product needed further development. It seems to have been released at "alpha" level. It needs to output much larger images for one thing.
Lytro should take this case design and put in an ordinary camera. For one, it can be weather sealed and toughened with a decent aperture lens and zoom range. Most of all, it is small and doesn't look like a camera. Perfect for discreet photography.
I see from the comments below that our usual flock of vultures have gathered again on the tree branch of DPR news to release their croak about things they've never tried, and matters they never bothered to understand.
Yes, that is what you do. But why are you bragging about being a vulture?
Light Field technology??? What isn't light field technology when it comes to photography?
I have heard the hoopla about this for a long time now. They don't explain anything really... bunch of techie double talk that really says nothing. I think the emperor has no clothes.
My guess at the big secret... focus bracketting. Several images taken simultaneously or near simultaneously. Software that uses the images to "slide the focus" (or de-focus) arcoss the multiple images. Give it a cool tech sounding name. You've got a new pet rock.
So far sounds like another red herring, time wasting gizmo. But.. love to see a true critical review. My mind is still open to facts, just not slogans.
Everything else commercially available - the light field includes the direction of the incoming light rays - no other camera captures that.
This is nothing like focus bracketing, as you would realize if you had checked their examples (not yet available) that generate two different POV from a single image, creating a 3D image.
If you had checked, like you accuse Tom of not doing, you'd have realized that the amount you can actually shift a POV with a lytro is about 10mm, making that feature useless at anything other than macro distances.
Past that, and you run into exactly the same occlusion problem you have converting a focus stack to 3D: an image that looks extruded rather than actually dimensional.
Focus stacking and lightfield imaging both produce volumetric data. The processing algorithms are similar.
There is no "big secret" light field technology does actually describe what this does. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-field_camera
Focus bracketing is a pretty good description, but the camera does it from a single sensor image.
This is news,
Well the idea of Lytro is not bad especially with the latest up date, Lytro; it is interesting, what about night photography, or if the lights are very low?
It will be very good if Lytro will introduce hand grip, hot shoe, and view finder at least like ''Canon PowerShort G15.''
But can maintain the same size and length of the original Lytro If the storage are bigger it will make a little sense , but lets us see the next news from LYTRO,
In case your Lytro is damage you lose your pictures, If another way of storage is introduced it will make another sense.
I will buy one for $100 to play about for the sack of Lytro effort.
Is this news?
Plenoptic cameras are fun stuff - just like magnets and spinning tops, for a short while.
I would buy one for $30 to play with for a while.
Yes, were the Lytro priced like a Hula-Hoop, Silly Putty, a Rubik's Cube, a lava lamp, or a Barbie, millions might sell. A collector who kept one in its package or mint condition might be able to sell it for a substantial sum ... in 2112 ... if he manages to live until then. The trouble would be how to re-engineer a battery no longer in production, or find a device that still used USB ports.
The technology is very interesting and I think promising. If only it could fit in a phone and backed by a big company, say, Google or Apple. That would make much more sense and, IMHO, LYTRO's best chance for survival.
This concept sucks and will always suck.
You trade resolution, noise and dynamic range performance off for this post-shot focussing gimmick. They're never going to resolve that issue, because they'll always need multiple directional photosensors for each pixel.
Did you also think small sensors had a megapixel limit?
The Nokia Pureview 808 at 41MP shows what could be the future of this technology - a very high resolution sensor but instead of trading the resolution for low light capability, trade it for light field capture and have a 2.5MP camera that can do any focus, any DOF or (slight) 3D imaging from a single image capture.
To achieve a usable and friendly range of post-focusing one need at least 10x10 pixel array under one microlens. Ng used array of 12x12 pixels in his work as a scientist. I recommend his articles to better understand the idea. Here we have 4x4 array and it is simply enough for gadget-like device. @10x10 array we are talking about 300Mpix sesnor to have 3Mpix resulting picture. Speaking shortly.
No. Their autofocus is slow, and inaccurate. It shouldn't be: the plenoptic system essentially makes the entire sensor a giant phase-detection autofocus sensor.
I think you're trying to be sarcastic, and make a statement about the lytro not actually needing to focus, which is not true. It only increases DOF about 3-4 stops worth vs wide open, and their lens is fast enough and long enough that wide open, the DOF is pretty shallow. It needs good AF to put the subject within that shallow DOF so you can do at least some "refocusing".
I can find ONE good thing to say about this camera format: The shape! It's gotta be the easiest camera ever made to find or make your own case.

Seriously who will buy this unless they want to get beaten by their fellow photographers in a photo walk.
It might fool the asian market but im so happy i havent seen them around China or Hong Kong.
Give-up or get bankrupt.
I wonder how easy is it to use this tiny screen even without manual adjustments? Having a viewfinder instead of a screen seems to be much more functional for this tube-like design.
Yep. This is how Hassy version should look like http://www.opensecrets.org/news/spyglass.jpg
The screen is not only small, it's also low on pixel density, so it's quite difficult to use. I couldn't make out the difference in the on-screen image while switching between near and far focus points.
Too techie for most girls and too girlie for most guys so my guess is no.
A gal who is coming along with her photography wanted to buy one to shoot at concerts ... she thought it might be easier to sneak in then with her DSLR ... since concerts are very restrictive these days, ie. no interchangeable lens cameras ... but I told her the image quality was so lacking as to make it not worth her while
The cameras that suck the most have the most color schemes. The world has been begging for Moxie Pink and hallelujah we finally have it!!!
I will wait for Hasselblad version, with some precious metals, wood trim and diamond encrusted knob.
Tee hee hee ;)
Best Comment ever!
Don't forget that it WILL have two Hasselblad logo's to make sure that you will be able show off to your executive friends. Rumours say it will be around $7500,00 for the fixed lens version :)

I learned about OpenWetWare from I was informed of OpenWetWare by Dr. Sarah Knight, my General Biology II instructor at American University., and I've joined because I would like to use OpenWetWare in conjunction with my General Biology II lab class at American University. My lab group will be using this website in order to record our scientific observations in a way that is conducive to class collaboration and review..
