Professor McGonagall does a stripteaseMature
Professor McGonagall is a busy woman. She said so herself at times when paperwork reached their peak.
The late morning sunshine crept its way through the ground and pushed through the glass windows of Hogwarts. It was a normal day, well, as normal as it should be in Hogwarts. Professor McGonagall raced through the staircase as she cradled her books and made her way through the grand hall.
Another day. Another busy boring day for Old McGonagall. She shook her head at the students who rushed past her to get to their classes and commented on how rude they were. "A simple good morning will perk up my day, thank you very much," she muttered as she continued along with her busy boring walk to her class.
Transfiguration. Well, she quite like the subject very much and would like the children to learn something from it but all they do is talk with each other or snog. She shook her head again and turned left at a corridor leading to her classroom. I hope today's going to be different, she thought to herself as she sighed and opened the door.
"Okay Class, stop talking so we could get on to business," She said as she walked in the room. It was her busy boring old room with all the same stuff she put in there ages ago. Nothing really ever changed in that room, and that's ironic for a transfiguration teacher, except for the students--- her happy hating students who would love to see her faint or get blasted by an "accidental" spell.
"Draco Malfoy, could you please hand Mr Longbottom his toad back?" she said raising an eyebrow at the gelled lad.
"What if I don't want to, professor?" the lad with his blonde hair practically embedded into his skull spoke with an asshole-y tune to his voice.
"Well, if that's the case Mr Malfoy, I have no choice but to turn you into a ferret," Proffesor McGonagall said boring into the very depths of Malfoy's soul with her steel cold eyes.
"My father will hear about this," Ferret boy huffed and threw Neville's toad back.
Neville scampered to catch his flying toad but only to fall on his face the moment he caught his precious toad.The Slytherin section of the class bellowed in giant laughter meanwhile the Gryffindor section spat cusses out like machine guns in a war.
"Look what you've done, you git!" Ronald Weasley shrilled like the ginger that he is at Draco.
"It's not my fault he's a clumsy idiot," Draco said fist pumping Crabbe and Goyle.
Neville got up and sat down once again on his chair clutching his toad like a ring, a preeeeeciouuuus ring.
"Malfoy, do you want me to scramble your face with my fists?" Hermione Granger, the wise-ass witch, finally said something.
"No, but I'd like you to scramble my eggs if you know what I mean?" Draco the hood rat flashed his ridiculously white teeth that shone like moonlight whenever light touches it.
"Someone write a fanfic about this, OMG. I am so going to blog about this," Parvati Patil whipped out her iParchment and started hooting (get it….tweeting? Okay) about the said topic.
"Shut up, you know very well that people ship Drarry more than Dramione," Harry interjected with a jealous glare. Nobody saw that jealous glare because his disco ball glasses glinted in the sun like Edward-lets-not-bring-him-in-here.
"You jealous?" Ron asked Potter with his orange eyebrow raised.
"Hell no… I be smacking your sister's ass when you and HG be snogging each other's faces off," Harry the ladies' man said.
"Hold up, what?" Ron asked, flabbergasted.
"You can't exclude me from this well organized fight!" Gel boy demanded.
"Oh shut up, Draco. Why don't you transfer to Pigfarts and be "awesome" there," Hermione Gangly dinosaur chirped.
"El Oh El, are we supposed to be funny?" Pansy Parkinson (disease) slurred like an emo kid.
"ENOUGH!" Professor McGonagall screamed (or maybe just you know, spoke loudly because her papery old throat can't handle the vibrations of her vocal chords) and pinched the bridge of her nose with her bony hands. "You children are out of control, Hogwarts has never seen anything quite like you, you bumbling nincompoops."
"Who uses the word nincompoop?" Someone from the Slytherin group whispered.
"I'd rather face you-know-who than actually spend time with you brats. Hogwarts students must be well-mannered and should be respected and should look respectable----Ms. Brown, please pull up those panties. Very well, as I was saying, you kids need to learn about respect and manners," Professor Manners chimed.
"I thought this was Transfiguration," Hermione said, realized her wise-assness, and bowed her head.
Professor McGonagall twitched her right eye a couple of times involuntarily and stared at Hermione like she was an Acromantula.
"You know what? Fine, you kids win… class dismissed," Professor Mcgonagall said sadly as she sighed a deep troubled sigh.
"You're such a total bitch, Professor," Pansy said, rolling her eyes.
"What was that?" Mcgonagall asked dangerously.
"You're a bitch!" Pansy shouted and with that she mysteriously disappeared.
"HOW VERY DARE YOU!" Professor McGonagall screamed.
Hermione Granger meanwhile banged her forehead on the table as Ron and Draco pried her out of her seat. Ron pushed Draco away, called him a git as Draco stroked his gelled hair, walked away while stealing a glance at Harry. Harry looked back at Draco, his glasses glinting, and looked away shyly.
Parvati squealed and took a photo of the two staring at each other with Hermione looking at Draco in the background and Ron raising a confused eyebrow. "Threesome!" she gave another squeal and ran away. Draco harrumphed and snapped his fingers, calling his bookends, Crabbe and Goyle, ushering him out of the room.
"Hermione, we need to talk," said Harry as he took Hermione's hand.
"What about?" Hermione asked.
"Don't play dumb, Hermione. This isn't high school," Harry said not knowing what he's talking about because he has never experienced high school.
"Harry… I have feelings for you, and Ron…and Draco," Hermione said coyly, which is unlike her but what the hell!
Parvati zoomed right back in and screeched. "This is so going on Tumblr! I totes ship you and every guy here," She said excitedly, chewing on a piece of gum, and ran back outside. "Padma! OMFG! Guess what?!"
While Parvati and her fangirling self relished the moment, Professor McGonagall slumped into her comfy chair and sighed, rubbing her forehead with her fingers.
"You guys go on ahead and talk. I'll catch up," Ron said looking at his professor with much care in his eyes.
And with that Harmione went away.
Ronald Weasley was a simple boy with simple needs and wants, he didn't care much about fame just as long as he can eat plenty of food. He smiled cautiously at his troubled professor and asked himself, why did he stay?
Professor McGonagall raised an eyebrow as she noticed that Mr Weasley was still in the room. "Go away, Weasley. Can't you see I'm upset?" she said with sorrow in her voice.
"I know, miss and I'm sorry---I mean, we're all sorry," he said awkwardly, shifting his weight from the right foot to the left.
"Right, if Pansy Parkinson asked for my forgiveness I will do a striptease just for you, Mr Weasley, I swear to Wizard god I will if she does that. Now that, that is unlikely to happen--- now if a bludger could speak then it will go flying around the field asking wizard god for his forgiveness a million times but not Pansy Parkinson, Pansy Parkinson is a spawn of Satan and one of the many whores in hell," she said feeling the rage boiling inside of her like her whistling kettle.
AND THEN! WITH THE POWER OF WIZARD GOD! PANSY PARKINSON FELL FROM THE CEILING AND LANDED ON TOP OF HER DESK WITH A LOUD THUD. (p.s: Wizard god works in mysterious ways so Pansy was invisible but then visible when McG told Ron about that whole Pansy thing.)
"I have this stupid curse that totes forbid me to freakin' be mean to people. FML! My mum hates me… so I'm very sorry Professor McGonagall…like really. Now I'm gonna go and like watch some Disney channel cause I'm totes depressed," she said in her slurry emo voice.
(p.p.s: Yeah the curse helped too.)
"Well, this is quite a surprise Ms. Parkinson. Thank you and yes, I accept your apology. You may go," she said perking up a bit.
"You use the word 'quite' a lot, uh?" Pansy asked and got slapped in the face with an invisible hand. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" she pleaded.
"Yes, yes…apology accepted, now go!" Professor McGonagall pushed her off the table and waved goodbye.
Pansy Parkinson with her emo self, dragged her cursed body out of there.
"Bloody hell (catch phrase!), that was intense, miss!" he said in his most geeky gingery voice.
"Yes...very intense. Ron, will you mind if I ask you to go to my office at around nine o'clock this evening?" she said timidly.
"What for?" Ron said, his ginger senses tingling.
"Oh, just something I promised to do…will you come?" Professor McGonagall said a little too eagerly.
"If it'll make you happy then yes, yes I will," he said.
"Oh thank you, Ron Weasley. You will never regret it!" she exclaimed most vibrantly.
Ronald Weasley had a funny feeling in his stomach but he didn't know what it was. It's like there was a giant weight in it and it's getting heavier and heavier. He gulped and said the password to the fat lady as he arrived at his Common Room's entryway. There's something awfully strange about everything but he couldn't put his finger on it.
"Guys guess what? WHAT THE HELL! WHAT? HARRY STOP PUSHING YOUR TONGUE DOWN HERMIONE'S THROAT! NO! HERMIONE STOP UNDRESSING! GUYS, STOP EATING EACH OTHER'S FACE! HOLY CRAP! AND WHY IS DRACO FILMING IT?" Ron cried out, flabbergasted by the horrid acts Harry and Hermione are doing.
"It's for the fans, Ron!" Hermione said buttoning her blouse hastily.
"Yeah, yeah the fans," Harry said fixing his hair and looking right at Draco's while Draco runs his hands through his hair.
"Well that's just stupid. Fans love us already! We shouldn't make a bunch of weird stuff that never happened in our story or make up new pairings just to satisfy the fans. They can do that themselves," Ron said magicking away the whips and chains in the room.
"Oh yeah…our fans are twisted enough to write crappy stories that can never be compared to the omniscient writer of this wonderful reality of ours," Draco said, stuffing his digital camera into his pocket.
"Is that a digital camera in your pocket or are you just excited to see me?" Harry asked Draco.
"That was my line!" Hermione snapped.
"Enough!" Ginny (from the block) crawled out of the fireplace and glared at Harry. "This has gone far enough! I am sick and tired of sharing my man, Harry. It's like these blasted fangirls have created twisted shitty versions of us who go around shagging each other!" she blasted.
"That's right!" Luna Lovegood, the weirdest chick in the book, said.
"Where'd you come from?" Ron asked.
"Oh… that's a funny story. See, there's this wardrobe and----"
"That's another story. Let's not go into that," Fred Weasley said popping out of nowhere.
"Right… I'm lucky that I'll never star in a shitty story or possibly a movie of my own," Cedric Diggory said as he stopped flying his broomstick outside the Common Room's window. "Why am I sparkling?" he asked as he sparkled like diamonds unexpectedly.
"Lame," George said and blasted Cedric away with a stunning spell.
"I hope he makes that fall," Fred said, "NOT!" he added most humorously.
"Hey, George. What's up?" Ron asked.
"Just my dick," George said, elbowing Luna.
"That's just… hot," Fred said, hovering over Luna.
Luna gulped and giggled awkwardly.
"Threesome!" Parvati's voice and the click of her camera were heard throughout the room.
"Anyways," Ron said, rolling his eyes. "I have to meet with Old McGonagall later at nine," he continued.
"Somebody's getting laid," Draco said with an impish look on his face.
"No I'm not… she just needs something from me. That's all," Ron said, convincing himself.
"Yeah… she needs your wiener," Ginny said matter-of-factly.
"Whatever you guys…I'm outta here. I need to study for a potions test tomorrow. You know how Snape can be when he's disappointed," Ron said, walking towards his dorm room.
"How dare you! You will not take my title away from me! I am the smartest which of this time!" Hermione exclaimed and buried her nose on a book, reading aggressively.
"We're outta here too," Fred and George said at the same time as they carried Luna out.
"Oh dear! I hope there aren't any nargles where you're taking me," Luna said nervously.
"Baby, the place we're taking you to is heaven," Fred said.
"Who uses the word wiener?" Harry asked no one in particular.
There were four of them left; Ginny with the soot and dust covering her entire body, Harry doing some noble stuff (he's actually just staring at nothingness), Draco with his pallid face looking at something (that something is Harry or Hermione), and Hermione tearing through the pages like a cannibal.
"I bet you do, Harry," Draco said suddenly. "Sorry, I was thinking out loud," he said apologetically.
Hermione gasped quietly and remained fixated on her book while Ginny harrumphed like an old lady. Harry looked at Draco with those shiny spectacles of his and Draco looked back with the same shiny passion.
"Ugh, stop eye-fucking each other. It's annoying," said Ginny but alas the poor ginger girl was ignored by everyone in the room.
"How am I supposed to memorize this?" Ron asked the room exasperatedly. "I don't care about potions! Wizardgoddamnit! Snape can grab his test and shove it up his arse, the bloody git!" he cried as he banged his head on the table.
And as he uttered a cry of pain when his head hit the table, he noticed his remembrall flashing red. What did I forgot? He asked himself. There was hazy fuzz covering his memories that day so he couldn't remember anything except for eating lunch.
When he started to remember some bits of his memory, his brother Fred came in and slapped his head. "What's up, bro?" Fred asked.
"Nothing, just studying. What's up with you?" he asked casually. "And don't say your dick," he added quickly.
Fred uttered a short laugh and sat on Ron's messy bed. "George's taking Luna out on a date so I left them. I don't know where they're going because we aren't allowed anywhere off campus," he said.
"Probably the lake," Ron said matter-of-factly.
"Yeah, whatever. Hey! Aren't you supposed to be in Old McGonagall's office?" Fred asked. Ron's eyes widened comically and checked the room's weird clock that no muggle could understand.
"Fuck! That's right! I have five minutes left," Ron said, panicking, and hurriedly got up from his seat and ran.
Fred burst out of laughter again and shouted after Ron, "Run like the wind, brother!"
His footsteps echoed off of the stone walls and surrounded him like a second wall. Bloody hell, this is nuts! What am I going to say to Old McGonagall when I come late? He asked himself as he ran some more. Her office, where was that again? Oh yeah right turn here, he turned right, and straight on ahead, good!
He nodded and picked up his pace, he was sweating now, and skidded to a full stop as he came face to face with Old McGonagall's door. He patted his wand in his pocket, a thing he's been doing a couple of times now, he doesn't know why but he feels secured if he's got his wand in his pocket, and knocked.
Professor McGonagall was sitting in her office, patiently waiting, and drinking tea when she heard the knock on her door. She hastily went for the door and yanked it open, "Good evening, Mr Weasley. You're a bit late," she said, formally as ever.
"I'm sorry, Professor. I just remembered," Ron said, bowing his head down.
"Well, we can't do anything now. Come in, come in," she said ushering Ron inside.
"What do you want me to do, Professor?" Ron asked.
"I want you to sit down on that chair and drink some of this tea," she said.
Ron obliged. The room was simple enough, it wasn't really fancy, it was a room for a Professor and that was it. The ornate table sat silently on the far side of the room. It was huge and papers upon papers were stacked above each other to form Headache Mountains. The room is spotless, it was neat and disciplined, just the way McGonagall liked it, he guessed. The curtains covering the window were an extravagant red and gold colour. Ron sipped his tea and wondered why he was there.
"Would you like me to help you with your paperwork, Professor?" Ron asked after a long moment when he and Professor McGonagall were just sitting in silent contemplation, drinking tea.
"Ron…do you remember that promise that I told you?" She said a bit loudly.
"Hardly, Professor. What was it?" Ron asked, confused. He set his tea down on the floor, folded his hands together, and raised an eyebrow.
"I promised to give you a striptease if Miss Parkinson begs for my forgiveness. I never break promises, Mr Weasley. Never!" She said and started taking off her robes.
"No! No! This is crazy. Stop, Professor! Isn't this illegal?" Ron gasped out the words in pure astonishment as he leapt out of his seat and backed away, shaking his head.
"Oh no you don't!" She growled and casted the Levitation charm (Wingardium Leviosa) on him and plopped him down on his seat. "You're running away from a bad ass, Mr Weasley. Did you honestly think I'd let you go easily?" she purred.
"Please miss, this isn't logical. Forget that promise. Please! For the love of wizard-god please!" Ron begged.
But Mcgonagall won't have it. "I'm a busy woman and this will be my… release," she said breathing a sigh at the last word. "Ronald Weasley… you're going to be my tool for the night. Incarcerous!" She yelled and a length of rope whipped itself out of her wand and tied itself to the chair with Ron in between.
Ron was panicking, of course he was panicking! Who wouldn't be panicking in this kind of situation? He tried to squirm out of the rope's bind but it was tight as hell. "Professor, I'm begging you! You're out of your mind! Go to St. Mungos and get yourself cured!" He cursed under his breath and tried to reached for his wand but his hands were leashed tight. So much for escape and security.
"I am perfectly sane Mr Weasley. I just need to fulfil my promise to you and we're done," She said in a very serious voice.
Then it started.
She wasn't wearing her robes but lacy black lingerie when Ron decided unfortunately to look. She was also wearing lacy gloves and fish net stockings. "Look at me, Ron. Look at me when I strip!" She demanded.
"I don't think I have the stomach for it, Professor," Ron said turning his head away.
She let her hair down just this once and she felt good about it. She looked at herself in the mirror and saw moonlight cascading down from her head. She didn't mind the wrinkles and her flabby arms; she was beautiful this evening and to hell with Mr Weasley if he doesn't appreciate it. She was a busy man and he should be thankful that she did this for him. She turned around and smiled at the squirming ginger in front of her.
"Look at me or I'll snap your neck, Mr Weasley!" She said giving him a glare as she turned around, bent over and shook her ass for him. The short flare of lace had ridden upwards to expose her fish netted derriere.
"I think I want to gag," Ron said as he witnessed the whole thing and for some reason, for some very strange reason, he couldn't look away. He didn't want to gag anymore and that surprised him.
"Very good, Ron… just keep looking at me. I like that very much," she said in a purr. She turned to face him again and dipped her ass to the floor, using Ron's legs as support. "Do you like this, Mr Weasley. Do you like this?" she asked, feeling the heat rising up in the room. Ron could feel the heat too and he's afraid that this room will turn into an oven and fry his ginger ass out of existence.
McGonagall stepped away and removed her lacy gloves. She spun them around over her head for a moment and threw them at Ron's way. Ron squirmed away but the lacy gloves allowed themselves to land on Ron's head. She was sweating, lightly sweating, and her wrinkled body that wasn't covered in lace shone in a thin sweaty sheen. Slivers of her silver hair clung to her neck and Ron couldn't look away from it. Although she had old person skin, Ron couldn't help but notice how sexy her neck was. He shook his head and closed his eyes but he's not sure he can close them for so long. He wanted to see McGonagall do her thing.
"Am I making you hot?" Minerva McGonagall, the busiest woman alive, said hotly. She walked away from him and strutted her ass and thighs like a good stripper. She was giving a show for Ron and he was starting to like it. She walked back towards him, hands on her hips, walking like she was eighteen years old again, and loving it. She put one of her heeled feet on Ron's chair between his legs and leaned in. "Do you like it, Mr Weasley. Do you like me?" she said, leaning more and whispering the words to his ears sensually.
Ronald Weasey didn't know what to do. He was confused, his mind was useless at the moment and his heart was racing unsteadily fast. He gulped down the saliva that was flooding his mouth and mouthed the word yes.
"What was that?" Minerva said, whispering still but this time she did something different, she bit his ear tenderly and giggled. Ron gave out a surprising moan and shuddered violently, a pure look of ecstasy blanketed his face.
But just then, at that very exact moment when Ronald Weasley moaned in pleasure while Minerva McGonagall chewed his ear, a man barged into the room with a mop in his hand. He was a funny looking man and he wore a fez and a bowtie with a matching stupid brown suit. "Hello, yes. Well, this is nice. This is something I don't see every day and trust me I've seen everything!" he said excitedly, rubbing his hands together and grinning like a fool.
"Excuse me but who the devil are you?" Professor McGonagall asked completely dumbfounded. Ron whimpered in his seat and started to cry, obviously embarrassed by the whole thing.
"You made him cry," the weird looking man said. "I'm the Doctor by the way," he continued.
"What kind of a name is that?" Professor McGonagall asked, raising an eyebrow, all the sexual aura she exuded left her in a single wave and she looked like a wizened buffoon. She tied her hair back into a bun and put her robes back on, shaking her head as she did so. Ron was still crying when she cut off his ropes and offered him some more tea while the supposed Doctor looked at them in amusement.
"I'm sorry to have interrupted your sexual exploits but there's a dalek hiding in this Castle," he said as his face went from goofy fool to very serious man wearing a fez, bowtie and mop.

Eddie: Organisation
I beamed at her, genuinely happy. It must have been the first time in a while that I'd been so happy, all because of her. She turned around quickly and I just didn't stop grinning.
I stepped forward, placing my head on her shoulder. "Thank you." I whispered, kissing her gently on the neck.
"So it's in a couple of hours. What are you going to wear?" I started to go to the bedroom but she simply yelled at me.
"It's today? Are you kidding me, Eddie?"
"Well yeah it is." I mumbled, opening the door and moving to the wardrobe.
"It's a bit late notice, isn't it?" She had stomped after me and was staring me down, forcing me onto the bed.
"Not my fault." I murmured, but it was too late. Her hands were flailing, her voice getting louder.
"What am I going to wear? What will I say? How will I get there? How will I get back?" She was panicking.
I stood up, brushing her off when she tried to push me back down. I opened the wardrobe, pulling out an outfit that I had already sorted out for her. I placed it on the bed, encouraging her to sit down at the same time. She looked at me as she did so, the worry still in her eyes.
I hesitated for a second, wondering if I should kiss her. The moment passed so I skipped over it.
"You can wear this. Be honest with your answers, but don't say anything stupid. I prepared some questions for these circumstances so I can help. We'll get a taxi there and back. Anything else?"
I had my hands placed on her knees, holding her down. She looked up at me and I could see that she was blushing slightly.
"You did all this for me?" She asked softly. I nodded and she blushed a little more. After kissing her gently on the forehead, I left the room, pretending that I hadn't seen; I knew that she'd prefer it that way.

Ongoing Research and Development for Plogue's 'retro digital' products: chipsounds, chipspeech and chipcrusher .... and various retro computing stuff.

AY8930 sourced!
The AY8930 Enhanced Programmable Sound Generator is a very rare Microchip (who bought GI) version of the AY-3-8910. It includes better frequency range, noise, PWM and independent control of the envelope for each channel.
I was lucky to find a stash of those chips and will soon try them on my AY-3-8910/YM2149F protoboard to see if they work and experiment with them, then for a future addition to chipsounds.
As far as the interwebs are concerned it only has been used in one PC card (Covox Sound Master+) and one game (Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego). So my job will be to hack dosbox into spewing the register writes it sends to this chip and I'll make a render using my board (the usual stuff).
Since I have now too many AY8930's to care, if you are interested in upgrading your MSX, ST or whatever (untested), this might be your chance, since I will put a few of these rare babies on sale after they are tested.

Familiar Faces Win 2014 Little Rock Marathon
Courtesy : Little Rock Marathon Media
Groundhog Day came to the Little Rock Marathon exactly one month late on Sunday: Battling cold, wind, and a light rain, Mark Chepses of Kenya won the men's race for the fourth-consecutive year here, while hometown favorite Leah Thorvilson broke the tape for the fifth time.
"It was very cold," said Chepses, who won in 2:25:45.
"I'm so happy to be done," said Thorvilson, delighted with a winning time of 2:42:41, her second-fastest here. "These are the ickiest conditions I've ever raced in."
Both, however, were thrilled to don their "Epic Winner" super hero capes and take a victory lap, all smiles and high-fives of the crowd warming their hearts.
"The reception at the finish line was amazing," said Thorvilson, who calls Little Rock her home.
While Thorvilson led the women's race from the start, Chepses had some persistent company. After starting on the corner of President Clinton Boulevard and Sherman Street in a light drizzle with temperatures in the high 40s and dropping, the 37-year-old who lives in West Des Moines, IA, was running with American Bryan Morseman and Kenya's George Kitonga at Mile 4.
Chepses and Kitonga went through 10K together in 32:48, with Morseman, of Bath, NY, 16 seconds behind. By the halfway mark, reached in 32:48, Chepses was a step ahead of Kitonga, but Morseman appeared to be out of contention, 1:02 in arrears. It was a different picture by 20 miles, with Kitonga off the radar screen but Morseman only 38 seconds back.
"At 21 he saw me," said the 28-year-old Morseman, who finished second just last week in the Cowtown Marathon in Fort Worth, TX. "That's where he turned it up. The last two or three miles I started to close, but I ran out of steam."
Morseman would finish second, in 2:26:16, with Arturs Bareikis, 27, of Crestwood, IL, rounding out the podium in 2:28:39. Brad Poppele, 42, Colorado Springs, CO, won the masters division, finishing ninth overall in 2:44:59.
Thorvilson, meanwhile, had the road largely to herself, winning over runner-up Megan Zavorka Thomas of Omaha, NE, by over 12 minutes. Thomas finished in 2:55:14. Thorvilson's time of 2:42:41 would have been good enough for eighth in the men's division.
Taking third was Carrie Mack, 27, of Bloomington, IL, in 2:57:33. Winning the women's masters division was Amy Landes, 42, of St. Louis, MO, in 3:09:55, in fifth place.
Coming off successful hamstring surgery last March, Thorvilson—who left Minnesota to compete for the University of Arkansas-Little Rock and stayed—thought back in December that she might be ready to improve her personal best of 2:37:26 in this race, but between winter illness and weather woes, she said "I kind of let go of that." Then she heard the forecast for race day.
"I don't know if I'm growing up, but I just had the sense of 'it's going to be what it's going to be," she said.
It was a rousing success, bringing her full circle from what she called the greatest race of her career here in her 2012, course-record (2:37:26) victory through her crushing disappointment in 2013 of having to divert to the half marathon midway through her planned 26.2-miler because of the hamstring pain.
"I knew there was a chance I would never get back to where I was," she said of recovering from surgery so extensive that the name on her bib read "Frankenbooty." "So if I can do this in these conditions, I think my fastest times are still coming."

Eight [Part Two]
Another nice morning smiled at London. I went to open the curtains, unleashing the light into my room, when it hit me how unsuccessful I was being.
Far from crying, curling into a ball of sorrow and waiting for nobody to come, I held the deep breath I had taken, and, having released my negative thoughts, strode down to breakfast, eating with my head up, whilst the mind beneath its shell turning like clockwork still.
I was in London, the bustling, thriving capital of England. And I had some money to do what I wished. Surely, then, it would be an idea to explore this city? Especially if it had once had the footsteps of my mother woven in with it. It was only after my routine preparation to leave (I couldn't clean my teeth before I had eaten, of course), that I remembered my one contact, the one person who had met my mother at her weakest.
I left that room as soon as I could. My backpack had not been touched since I had tucked my file back into it at the end of the previous evening, not daring to let it lie in anybody's path in my room. Who knew who had access to the entire hotel? I dreaded to think of what sort of guests, despite the elegance of hotel, had made their bed for the night in the same hallway as I.
My wits still trying to untangle the figments of dreams that remained, I did not see when the gum-chewing desk-holder stepped in my path in the foyer.
"Yellow pages," she grunted.
"Excuse me?"
"Do you have the 'Yellow Pages' directory you said you'd return? Other customers want it too, you know."
"Sure," I muttered. "I'll just go and fetch it."
"Make sure you do."
Damn. As I traipsed back upstairs, I thought of the ways that I could avoid a confrontation with her. Running wouldn't do; besides, I had nowhere to run to, and I had made The Admiral my base. Talking wouldn't work either. Her clenched teeth had said all. Besides, I wasn't ready to have my time wasted by the likes of her. As an addition, I had hoped that the directory, not missing from the likes of The Admiral's staff bookshelves, would have stayed as my pillow for me to pour over each evening. I had little idea of what I would need to search in the expanse of London next.
So, when I returned to the check-in desk, it was fair to say that my mood was falling to a low.
"You're lucky that I'm not charging," the woman said, snatching from my hands before they became even fully out-stretched.
"I'm sorry, but I thought I'd-"
"There's no point in having a phone-book permanently by your side. It's ours and we claim the right to it. We also have that right to fine you-"
"All right. I get it," I cried. "You have it now. Can I just go?"
The girl gave me no such joy. She edged nearer, her eyes glinting. It was only when her face protruded into mine so far that I could smell the mint on her breath that she jerked to a halt.
"Look," she hissed, "I don't know who you think you are, turning up here with any parental supervision, yeah, or what it is that you're doing here, but-"
The sound of a throat being cleared cut the girl off. She jerked back away from me to eye the man who had gestured. His clean-cut suit and bourgeois air announced him as the manager of The Admiral. Eyebrows were raised between the two instead of voices, before the desk-girl pulled a smile onto her face.
"Have a lovely day," she chirped whilst her eyes told of a very different opinion as to where she wanted my day to head. I held eye-contact with her until I had skirted my way out of the hotel's front doors.
I dearly hoped I wouldn't see her again.
This time, though the cab I had selected for my journey through London Town was air-conditioned and the driver certainly seemed friendlier, my heart was not able to remain content. I must have fidgeted the entire time, but, on the other hand, I didn't want to release myself into the confusion of the brick-built L again. It was only when I had finally reached the hospital that I told myself to calm down, using an idea I had seen on TV once about relaxation and irritation being incompatible. My shoulders slipped down, all tenseness fading, and, once again, my breathing slowed to a controllable pace.
Think about the Doctor. He will be the one to set this problem straight.
However, angst was not an easy thing to let go of. With a dismal sigh, I felt the pricks of my shoulder-pain returning.
I charged up to the reception, today empty in the blank of the morning.
"Can you tell Ian Aquilus that Miss Brooks is here to see him? It's pretty urgent."
The receptionist froze mid-type, her sincerity enough for me to tell that it was the same woman.
"It's his day off today," the receptionist drawled.
"What?" I cried. "But he didn't mention that to me."
The woman's eyes swivelled down to my level.
"Evidently he didn't think it necessary to point out. You did disturb him. Now, Miss Brooks, do you want me to book you in for an appointment?" She eyed my figure, as if her curiosity wanted some medical reason for me to be present in the hospital two days in a row.
"Is there a way- would I-?"
"No, Miss Brooks. Even the doctor has some private time to himself."
"Can you just tell him- when he returns- that Lily called? Please. He can find me at The Admiral Hotel, room 208."
The receptionist's reaction was the same as it had always been. She sighed.
"Fine, if I must. Now, please…" And she shooed me away again.
With the same dark glare in her direction that I had also given to the girl behind the desk of The Admiral, I stormed away. Now there was not even a doctor to compose me. And I was given nothing.
I began to leave, thoughts, catacoustic, clouding my mind with their own vengeance. I didn't want to let my fists curl up again, but there they were, as a scowl painted my face.
That was, until another minute occurrence distracted me. It was the shout, actually, that drew my body back in the direction of the wards. A young boy- no more than five, I assumed- and his mother were making their way from the maze of the ground-floor rooms. Child-care. And the red marks that spread themselves across the boy's face indicated that he was in the midst of his chicken pox phase.
I didn't know, then, what had actually drawn me to the boy. It was as if fate was playing a game with me again. The boy clutched something in his hands, a blot amongst the monotonic grey of his chosen outfit, and it was this he waved as in an argument why the little shop was the most important part of the hospital, all revenue aside. A second more, perhaps a step forward, though in that time, I had forgotten the weight of my body, and I had identified the shape of a soft toy.
I laughed a little at the toy. My spirits lightened and I went to turn away, finding my path blocked by a wide man who promptly attempted to waddle out my way but still found himself in the midst of my path once more. With a roll of the eyes, I began to skirt around him, a path that, frankly, brought me back round into a circle.
Returning my gaze to the boy, I found that we were closer, a bare two metres. As I made the observation, I realised that I had overlooked one thing about the toy. A cute stuffed bear there. My eyes pulled sharply back to the miserable boy, still begging his mother to explore that gift-shop.
Then I did a double-take. My mind had wondered, but now empiricism was wiser. I knew my eyes could not deceive me. It would not do for my brain to tell me that my eyes were fools, for a child and her Bluey are not parted so easily.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - August 13, 2003, New Braunfels, Texas New Braunfels WEDNESDAY August 13, 2003 14 pages in 2 sections "rnmmmm jMHMp 14 pages in £. SCCtKHerald-Zeitung Vol, 152, No, 233Serving New Braunfels and Comal County since 1852 50 centsSenators vote to fine Democrat quorum busters X SPECIAL ■P SESSION fHM&t On the Web Texas Legislative Council: www.tlc.state.tx.us By April Castro Associated Press Writer AUSTIN — Republican senators remaining in Texas voted Tuesday to fine the ll self-exiled Democrats holed up in a New Mexico hotel for each day they are absent from a second special ses sion on redistricting. Without objection, the Republicans and one Democratic senator approved a resolution to fine the lawmakers, starting at $1,000 a day, and the fine would double for each day they miss the session. The fine is not to exceed $5,000 a day. Senators took the vote as the Democrats mark their 16th day in Albuquerque in protest over congressional redistricting. The senators in Austin voted on the resolution after spending several hours behind closed doors in a meeting. At a news conference in Albuquerque on Tuesday morning, Senate Democrats said they hoped their colleagues would not try to levy fines. They contend such fines are illegal because Senate rules for sanctions call for nothing more than arrest by the sergeant-at-arms. Several also said they would not pay any fines. Sen. Rodney Ellis, D-Houston, called the proposed fine a poll tax. "I won't pay it," he said.

(Below) Darrel Jones, center, a local roofer, gives the Smiths an estimate for repairing the roof over their hot tub. The roof was damaged during storms with high winds and heavy rainfall that blew through the area Monday. County tax bills increase, but rate stays the same By Ron Maloney Staff Writer Comal County Commissioners Monday voted to pub-lish a state-required tax notice this week and set two public hearings on the proposed 2004 tax rate. A tax increase notice will appear in Sunday's Herald-Zeitung — even though the tax rate is not increasing. County commissioners Monday set two public hearings on the tax rate for 9 a.m. and 5:15 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 28. Under the county's proposed $25 million general fund 2004 budget, the current tax rate of 33.37 cents per $100 of assessed value would not increase. The county tax on a home with a taxable value of $100,000 would still be $333.70 in 2004. However, that home might be worth more next year, so taxes on it would increase. Precinct I Commissioner Jack Dawson tried to explain the distinction during a discussion of the tax notice. "The way I put it is we're planning not to have a tax rate increase, but you probably will pay more taxes because your taxable value went up just like mine went up," Dawson said. Property values are set by the Comal Appraisal District , an arm of state government under the officer of the Comptroller of Accounts. It is not a county agency.

TIP Strategies Inc., an Austin-based consultant, is developing a plan to attract offshoot business from the planned San Antonio Tbyota plant. Thursday it will present a final report to the Infrastructure and Improvement Corporation (4B) Board of Directors, the city's economic development funding committee. TIP President Tom Stell-man said he would suggest an investment schedule and priorities for the city's marketing strategy. TIP strategists studied the Toyota supplier and plant relationship to determine what New Braunfels has to offer suppliers seeking to locate near and serve the planned San Antonio plant. In its reports to 4B, TIP has suggested, among other things, promoting New Braunfels industrial amenities over tourism, developing an office in Japan and creating a team automotive experts to promote industry economic development locally. "The question of whether or not all of that is necessary is our estimation to make," said 4B Board President Monroe Miller. Stellman also is expected to present details of the marketing strategy tailored for New Braunfels. No action will be taken Thursday. The 4B board will study the report and determine what funds and assets the See BUSINESS/4A Heavy rain, storms expected to continue until the weekend By Ron Maloney Staff Writer Look for possible severe thunderstorms tonight and Thursday and clearing skies this weekend. Vianney Lopez with the National Weather Service in New Braunfels said to expwt a 50-percent chance of rain or thunderstorms the rest of the week, decreasing by Friday. "We have an upper-level low-pressure system pushing through the area, allowing for showers, especially in the afternoon due to daytime heating," Lopez said. "We'll see a lot of shower activity Wednesday night and Thursday, with heavy rains possible Thursday. By Friday, it looks like it should be clearing up as the low moves out to the south."

Cloudy skies and a strong breeze made for a pleasant practice. West End could get new walkways By Dylan Jimenez Staff Writer Children in the West End might soon have a safer route home from school. New Braunfels City Council approved Monday a $5,000 engineering study to determine the cost of building or reconstructing sidewalks near Lone Star Elementary. Once a price is determined, officials hope to build the new sidewalks with state grant money. Dr. Carlos Campos, West Side Community Center board member, said he's seen children walk in the middle of the street to get to the center at South Krueger Avenue and 1-35. Children walk about a half mile from Lone Star Elementary to attend afterschool programs at the center, Campos said. He said hundreds of children use the center's tutoring and counseling services. During the school year parents and grandparents walk children to Lone Star or to area parks, creating increased pedestrian traffic, District I City Councilwoman Sonia Mufioz-Gill said. There is a cracked sidewalk along San Antonio Street from Spur to Krueger but few other walkways in the area. The state's Safe Routes to Schools Program provides up to $500,000 for sidewalks within two miles of a school. The program requires local governments match 20 percent of the project's cost in dollars or services. The engineering study will determine how many sidewalks the grant could help create, Campos said.

Dancing droplets reveal physics at work
Magnetic fields can deflect liquid oxygen
By Alexandra Witze, 11:43 AM May 17, 2012
View the video
Throw water into a hot pan, and it will sizzle so fast that the drops actually levitate across the surface. Physicists have now taken this phenomenon, called the Leidenfrost effect, a step further: Using magnets, the scientists directed droplets of liquid oxygen to speed up, slow down and change course as they scoot across a sheet of glass.
Magnetic fields force the tiny blobs to travel in a mesmerizing dance, says David Quéré, a physicist at ESPCI Paris Institute of Technology...

Focusing on a sample of smaller firms with a history of poor operating performance, this paper posits that increases in board size will be associated with better share price performance. Notably, board sizes studied here are, on average, much smaller than those typically studied by prior research. Mostly consistent with predictions, board size is found to be positively correlated with firm value in between-firms tests, and changes in board size are found to be positively associated with annual stock returns. Last, event study results suggest that the market responds favorably to board size increases and unfavorably to large board size decreases. Together, these results identify a setting in which larger board sizes appear to be positively related to shareholder value.

|WSU Hoops: Jeff Hironaka moving on
by the staff of Cougfan.com, June 3, 2013 at 2:33 pm ET
Ken Bone Profile
Jeff Hironaka, the Cougs' director of player development/special assistant to the head coach, is moving on.
"I will miss WSU n the fans who have been great. Excited for the chance to coach again," Hironaka tweeted on Monday.
It wasn't immediately clear from Hironaka's twitter where he was headed but there's been some buzz around cyberspace that Portland State will be his landing spot.
Hironaka came to WSU with Ken Bone as an assistant coach after working together for 11 seasons at Seattle Pacific. Bone moved Hironaka to the new role in May of 2012 (not coaching in games, no recruiting off-campus) in an effort to bring on a new assistant, Ray Lopes, with a larger recruiting reach.

Hey Everyone!
My name is Itayetzin Govea-Galicia, but you can call me Itay for short because I know my name is a handful. I will be your Orientation Leader during the 2016-2017 school year. I'm going to be a sophomore this coming year, hoping to major in Health Studies and Biology and getting all my Pre-Med requisites done, in order to become a Pediatrician. The reason I want to become a Pediatrician is because I absolutely love kids and I love caring for them and helping them. I was born in Mexico City, but I came to Seattle when I was one-year old and have lived here ever since.
On campus I am involved with the Pre-Med Health Club here on campus, which helps students whom are looking to go into the Medical Field. I am also involved with the Muslim Student Association.
For fun, I like to play sports, especially soccer, watch horror movies and hang out with friends.
One thing I really love about UW Bothell is all the diversity that this campus has to offer. There are all types of people here, which allow students to engage and learn about different cultures and make everyone feel welcomed.
I can't wait to meet all of you! And be able to help with whatever I can!

Our guide to Holiday Cottages in Ryde
Did you know...Ryde hosts five carnivals every year?
Ryde's beaches stretch for more than six blissful miles, and it's one of those resorts that seem to have a feel good atmosphere all year round. Better yet, the position of the town means it's well-served by a hovercraft and a catamaran that bring passengers to and from the mainland – so it gets more visitors than any other area of the Isle of Wight. Ryde attracts couples (thanks to the quieter coves and romantic views), families (who enjoy the great connections and many attractions) and those who simply love the island, so expect a bustling town with lots to see and do.

This is probably the most action-oriented open-world crime game we've seen - a fact the ridiculous prison-break opener makes clear. There's no cover system or any hint of realism, but the third-person controls work well and a recharging health system means you always have a fighting chance of overcoming the odds (and often then some). The missions go large on gunfights and car chases, and the skilful use of the Havok physics engine means that things collapse, crash and go bang in exuberant style. If you're the sort of guy who loves a game where you're actually rewarded for shooting someone in the more painful dangly bits of their anatomy, then this is the sort of game you'll love. A lot.
The rest of us might not always feel the same. The fact is that Saints Row 2 comes packed with flaws and shortcomings, some technical, some a matter of taste. On the first front, it still has to be said that the visuals are nothing to write home about, unless your mum wants to hear that 'it doesn't look all that great.' With its flat architecture, dull lighting and limited character detail, Saints Row 2 could easily fit in with the first wave of 360 titles. The images on this page make it look better than it actually is. Even Mercenaries 2 - itself not a blinder - makes it seem sub-par.
Sadly, much the same is true of the AI. We don't expect the kind of enemy intelligence from an open-world game that we expect from, say, your average FPS, but the gangsters of Saints Row 2 are spectacularly thick. We're talking 'not moving when your buddy two feet away is shot dead' thick. We're talking 'unable to follow you on a motorbike without crashing' thick. We're even talking 'I can't follow you because I'm stuck behind this parked car' thick. At one point I was able to wipe out around thirty enemy gangsters single-handed through the well-known military strategy of running around like a nutter blasting then skulking around a corner to recuperate. I'm not sure they teach that one to the US Navy Seals.

"Defeating rival gangs and acquiring territories is still the name of the game, but the central missions have a more logical sequence and there's less time spent just mopping up gang members or looking for something (or someone) to do (in)."
Real positive role model stuff.
Burn the heretic!!
Different stokes for different folks I guess.
Whilst it is nowhere near as polished as GTA 4 it is in my opinion infinetly more fun to play.
It might be just me, but I find Saint's Row 2 much more entertaining than GTA4. Ok, the graphics and the depth is not the same as GTA4 but the latter really bored me. I stopped playing GTA4 shortly after it started. Somewhere deep inside, I regret having bought GTA4, I should not have let the "over" hype get the best of me.
"Now GTA4 has come and gone, wowing us with its living, breathing city, layers of detail and rich narrative"
Come and gone indeed, with the emphasis on gone! Honestly, the sort of breathless hyperbole about GTA4 spouted above may have been forgiveable when it was released, as we were all taken in by its shiny new clothes. But to still be peddling such gross misrepresentation of what ultimately turned out to be a fundamentally flawed, cynically unfinished game is, frankly, a poor show now that we've all had long enough to realise just how little replay value there is in GTA4.
As a long-time GTA fanboy all the way from 1997 it's painful to say, but Rockstar so comprehensively missed the fun-factor with GTA4 that I'm now looking for an alternative source of morally-questionable but joyously-replayable open world entertainment. I know I'm not alone here. The question is, will we all find it in Saints Row 2? Unfortunately I'm really no wiser after this review, as I can't trust the judgment of anyone who, months after its release, is still writing about GTA4 using terms like "layers of detail" and "rich narrative".
Sorry, but this game rules, to look at in direct comparsion to GTA4 is to completely miss the point.
Glad you're enjoying Saints Row 2. I never said it wasn't a lot of fun, but equally I can't pretend that it hasn't got a lot of serious flaws. If these don't spoil your enjoyment and you can live with the game's more4 dubious elements, good for you.
As for GTA4, it gave me some of the most exhilarating, surprising and compulsive hours of gaming I've had this year or any other, and I'm not going to say otherwise now. That's not breathless hyperbole or a gross misrepresentation - just my honest opinion as a critic.
Sorry StuAndrews, if gamers wanted realism, I'm sure they would purposely pick a simulation game to quench their thirst. GTA4 AND Saint's Row 2 are both fiction games. Whilst one may be more "realistic" than the other, I remain convince that gamers would favour the "fun" factor over the "real" factor. Isn't it what a game should be about, fun? From reading various comments on Gamespot, there are a lot of people that feel the same way as most of the commenters here.
Sorry, siding with Stu here - GTA IV is on a completely different PLANET to SR2.
I have to say that Saints 2 dosn't interest me that much. I played the demo of the first one which was enough to put me off.
If I want fun replayable sandbox goodness, I'll go back to San Andreas.
Wilfried - As a reviewer I tend to put fun first, so no argument there. For me, though, the cardboard qualities of Saint's Row - including the underpopulated streets and the shockingly poor AI - stop me getting caught up in the game in the way that I got caught up in GTA4 or even Mercenaries 2. It is a fun game - 7/10 isn't actually a bad score, after all - but it could and should have been better had it had a little more love and polish.
Sorry StuAndrews, it is not what I felt when I read your review. I agree with you though, 7/10 is not a bad score at all, in fact it is better than some I've seen out there. I also agree that GTA4 is a living and breathing open world however, I personally have not found it so engrossing. Not compared to Saint's Row 2 anyway. Yes Saint's Row 2 is more static, much like Crackdown in fact, however it is a blast to play, much like Crackdown too. This is what I am trying to say, you'll have to excuse me though for not expressing myself as good as you are (english is not my first language, I know not an excuse). GTA4 is a good game, so is Saint's Row 2, however I preferred Saint's Row 2 and I still believe the two should not be compared, as Gordon said, they're on a completely different planet.

Siver vs. Swanson
As a HUGE Dennis Siver fan I cannot wait for this match. I think this will get Siver closer to a possible title fight with Aldo as I think he can take it. However, he has shown how heavy hitter at LW caused him problems. Either way should be a good fight.
I got Swanson in this. Lamp Dennis with a right at some point and either finish the fight or control it from there.
Awesome. Got tickets for the event, and it just keeps getting better. Couldn't have asked for a better card for my first live UFC. Barao vs McDonald, Siver vs Swanson, Manuwa vs Diabate, Riddle vs Mills, Nelson vs Edwards, Jimmo vs Te Huna, plus Etim and Sass. So awesome. Cannot wait!
I can see Siver getting a title shot if he wins this. Great fight.
I'm stoked for this fight, I was calling for it after Siver won, very tough to call but I'll go with Siver, between this and Barao/Mayday I have no idea what the FOTN will be but this is gonna be a sick card.
I think if Siver uses his takedowns like he did against Phan I can see him winning this fight. He just had to pace himself.
I think Siver can beat Swanson but he'd get devoured by Aldo or Edgar. And I say this as a fan and fellow countryman.
Swanson has impressed the hell out of me as of late, seems like he's really coming into his own.
Cub via TKO.

Pamela Mann Sheer Star Patterned Tights
Starry Eyed
Reviewed: 24 January 2013 by - Nicole, a Straight Going Steady Female
I got these tights as a surprised birthday gift from my co-workers, who clearly know my taste very well! As someone with quite a penchant for unusual hosiery, I was delighted with the trendy star pattern.
The Pamela Mann brand is fantastic for ultra-trendy tights and these star-studded beauties are no exception. The tights are barely-there black, meaning they're semi sheer - perfect for not-too-cold weather.
The sheer part is quite low dernier and delicate, so take care putting them on to avoid snags or ladders. The stars are in an opaque black.
Brilliant, high-quality fashion tights at a reasonable price. :)
- Pros
- Unusual star pattern.
- Cons
- Nothing!
- Bottom line
- Trendy fashion tights, perfect for jazzing up any outfit.

Ted Baillieu flags hoon crackdown as learner intercepted with 9 onboard
April 14, 2011 , 12:13 PM by Nicole Chvastek
'A disaster waiting to happen' ... that was the Premier's shocked reaction to news of a learner driver in an unregistered vehicle who was picked up with nine passengers jammed into the car! Ted Baillieu told Jon Faine the government would now toughen hoon laws after the investigating police officer revealed the existing law did not allow him to confiscate the vehicle.
Victoria is becoming known as the 'bikies Switzerland', deluging the Garden State escape crackdowns in NSW and SA. Jon told the Premier the construction industry was rife with bikie standover men, and then took on a gang member who rang in deny bikies are involved in criminal activity.
And what was the Premier's reaction to new reports of a 14 year old girl in state care being prostituted in the wake of yesterday's revelations about a 12 year old who became pregnant?
Listen now online to Jon Faine's hectic half hour and don't forget his Friday videoblog wrapping the big stories of the week.

Mighty Mississippi
... has plenty of shade, however, the shade does not do a lot with the 100 degree/humid days. We saw the University of Southern Mississippi. A pretty campus that also is the beginning of the Longleaf Trace bike trail. We started out early and rode 20 miles. The trail was well shaded. The first 10 miles were up hill, which made the ten miles back a dream.
We are headed out for New Orleans in the morning! ...
Mississippi gun shots
I guess Mississippi wasn't too memorable because I don't remember what we did here!....oops! Oh wait, one thing! We stayed at a free overnight camping spot where a woman was camping with her multiple cats that just kind of followed her around. They were very friendly. We went for a walk on the hiking trails but didn't walk long because there were hunters everywhere ...
WCU - Lady Crusaders
... vibe, the Hall was filled with soccer girls. Getting to know the girls and talking so much soccer was a pretty cool experience. Spending most of my time in Suzy and Julia's room (German and Swedish girls), we became very good friends already. Us freshmen were talking soccer tests for the next few days, wondering what was going to hit us, and how intense the seniors will be.
Going for a few early runs before everyone woke up definitely benefited me I ...
Just 1 more night...
... additional points - so nearly 50 points in 2 days, thats about 20% of my total points (and we have been collecting since Jan1). For anyone that really doesn't "get" the rally-thing - - this one is pretty neat... it's called the Big Money Rally (no prize money involved - its a joke) and it is nationwide and web-based, running from Jan 1 to May 25. We were issued a book with thousands of locations, each with one with different point values and everyone just goes ...
Saw storms on the forecast, thought, north??
... and a theme for coming days, lots of white wooden baptist churches.
Because of Spring Breakers traffic and Mobile we were later than we intended so decided to stay in Hattiesburg and head to Vicksburg first thing. Mmmm Hattiesburg, looked small on map, wrong, like all in America it was BIG - spreadout - no town centre - ... Ended up in a Quality Inn, eating in a Farmers Market (not what we expected) and having an early night! Hahahaha
