The Nightmare watches the two humans walk carefully through the streets. She was perched high on a roof top.
She dare not approach them in fear of her life. She was just a Nightmare to them.
She sigh. She was a very rare Nightmare which were only born once every thousand years.
They're called Silents. Their eyes are always silver, no pupils or irises just silver. Their ears are sharp as are their teeth.
Their skin is pure black to blend with the night. Then their hair is black as well, She has hers cut short and spiked up at the top.
She stands slightly and walks along the roof staying.... well silent. She follows the humans and grips the hilt of her nightblade dagger.
"Silver" the younger one hisses. She looks further down the street. Ten Spooks and 12 Creepers.
"Oh their dead" She mutters and watch them try to run but it's to late. The Spooks and Creepers have them surrounded.
She jumps down into the scenter of the commotion. "Hiya boys" She says to the humans then turn to kick a Creeper in the head.

Great Souls: Six Who Changed a Century
€ 33,99
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
November 2002
BeschreibungA senior journalist for "Time Magazine, " Aikman profiles six figures who embody specific virtues including Bill Graham, Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, Pope John Paul II and others.
InhaltsverzeichnisChapter 1 Introduction Chapter 2 Billy Graham-Salvation Chapter 3 Nelson Mandela-Forgiveness Chapter 4 Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn-Truth Chapter 5 Mother Teresa-Compassion Chapter 6 Pope John Paul II-Human Dignity Chapter 7 Elie Wiesel-Remembrance
PortraitDavid Aikman is a former senior correspondent for Time magazine and covered international affairs for more than twenty years. He reported several Man-of-the-Year cover stories, including those on Deng Ziaoping, Corazon Aquino, and Mikhail Gorbachev.
PressestimmenAikman deserves credit for writing biographies that not only are reliable and highly readable but also-because of the figures he chose to write about-morally elevating...Ultimately, Great Souls is about commendable qualities that people of any religious commitment, or even none at all, can and should recognize. The Weekly Standard Readers with sharp dislikes for any of these six might be surprised to find themselves wavering after the author makes his case. They might even test the breadth of their human sympathy by trying to embrace both Mandela and Solzhenitsyn, both Graham and Wiesel. Books and Culture Great Souls is a good read, eloquently showing how ordinary individuals with extraordinary discipline and will have risen above numerous kinds of adversity to influence the world for good. San Antonio Express Great Souls...serves as an excellent introduction to six remarkable lives. Best of all, it answers the questions, "Where have all the heroes gone?" They are right in front of us. Lexington Herald-Leader

I love iPhone cases and I've already got quite a nice collection. My newest addition is this amazing case from Marc by Marc Jacobs. Actually, I'm not really a huge fan of those Louis Vuitton and Chanel print iPhone cases, but this one I adore!
I buy most of my iPhone cases on ebay but this one I bought at the Marc by Marc Jacobsen shop in Paris.
Are there any shops who sell iPhone cases that I should know about? :)

David Ludwig often uses an analogy when he talks about weight loss: Human beings are not toaster ovens. If we were, then the types of calories we consumed would not matter, and calorie counting would be the most effective way to lose weight.
Dr. Ludwig, an obesity expert and professor of nutrition at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, argues that weight gain begins when people eat the wrong types of food, which throws their hormones out of whack and sets off a cycle of cravings, hunger and bingeing. In his new book, "Always Hungry?," he argues that the primary driver of obesity today is not an excess of calories per se, but an excess of high glycemic foods like sugar, refined grains and other processed carbohydrates.

I've been going to see many E46 coupes recently for a friend of mine, as he is looking for a 318ci. All E46 BMW coupes I've seen with the front sport bumper, have been grazed at the bottom. This is obviously due to the lowness of the bumper fins and the increased likeliness of it scraping speed humps, slopes etc.
I'm just curious why BMW did not think of something to increase the protection of the bottom of the bumper, as it has a high likeliness of it being deformed when being in contact with a high ramp for example.
Is there any way I could use something to protect the bottom of my bumper (apart from a Clubsport splitter as I only have a 3mm gap between my bumper and the slope out of my driveway)?
Say for example I grazed the bottom of the bumper quite badly which resulted in the bottom being deformed, could this be repaired?
Who here has a E46 coupe with no grazes on the bottom of their bumper just out of curiousity?

From the Wishful Thinking Disguised as Journalism Department comes Time's Mark Halperin and his new article "How Obama's Bitter Enemies May Give Him a Boost" (complete with the USSR-symbolism photo to the left). How low would Halperin go in evaluating the Obama-loathing of conservatives? The right wouldn't even unite the country if Martians invaded?!
The times of crisis in which Obama has governed only exacerbate the situation. It doesn't take a degree in psychology to recognize the explanatory formula "economic/environmental/international crises+search for a scapegoat=widespread Obama hatred." And it is evidence of how much matters have deteriorated that it is impossible to imagine conservatives rallying around Obama in the face of a new disaster, like the left did (albeit briefly) after September 11, 2001 for Bush. Even if the President repelled a Martian invasion, the right's reaction would likely be the same as it was after the Christmas Day bombing attempt, or the Times Square failed attack, or the current oil spill: denigration of Obama's competence, suspicion of his motives, and implicit or explicit hope for his failure.
It is hard not to smell Rush Limbaugh-bashing in that paragraph. But it's suggesting that conservatives are unpatriotic in their unwillingness to rally around the president in a time of crisis. It's insulting and just wrong to suggest that if the country really felt in peril like after 9/11, that conservatives wouldn't rally around the flag. Apparently, the right lives in an electronic cocoon without liberal bias:
The late, longtime New Yorker critic Pauline Kael was said to have expressed confusion over Richard Nixon's landslide reelection in 1972 — because no one she knew had actually voted for him. To borrow that notion, conservatives today imagine that everyone views the current occupant of the White House as they do: Barack Obama is the worst president ever. Conventional wisdom posits that such a potent right-wing, anti-Obama sentiment will diminish the President's power — enough for Republicans to vanquish Democrats in November, regain control of Congress, and weaken the incumbent for 2012.
But this myopia has been created within an electronic cocoon of Fox News, talk radio, conservative websites, and prominent rhetoric from Republican leaders, all passionately reinforcing the message that the Obama Administration is disastrous on an historic scale. It's a message transported as gamely by rank-and-file Republicans as by erudite conservative columnists with national readerships.
It's rich for Halperin to suggest that there is more "apocalpytic irrationality" to come against Obama, completely forgetting that the liberal media specialized in apocalpytic irrationality about Iraq and Katrina and mini-scandals like the U.S. attorney firings. But he went there:
Obama has become a bit prickly at times during these past sixteen months, but he is more apt to brush off the barbs as proof positive that the opposition is losing — and losing it.
In the run-up to the 2010 midterms we have already seen that the anti-Obama forces are expressing their disagreements with the administration in terms far more personal than political, tinged with an apocalyptic irrationality. The centrifugal force exerted on conservative leaders towards the extreme wing of their party is bound to lead to even more magnified rhetoric in the next few years. The contrast between those excessive attacks and Obama's famous cool will serve him, and the Democrats, well.
Within the overheated conservative bubble there is little room for discussions of serious policy alternatives to deal with America's problems, reminders that the country is typically drawn to optimistic candidates (like Reagan and Obama), and weighty appeals to the center of the electorate. If Obama is the worst president ever, conservatives seem to believe, why do they need to say anything more than that to take control of Congress and, then, get rid of him? But while the conservatives' ultimate condemnation rallies their core base supporters and has resonated with some centrist voters, over time it is unlikely to produce a majority against the administration.

SpongeBob and Friends: Maid Marian
229,874pages onAdd New Page

this wiki
Maid Marian is tenth episode of Spongebob and Friends.
- Maid Marian (Robin Hood) as Mavis
- Keswick (T.U.F.F. Puppy) as Toby
- Plankton (SpongeBob SquarePants) as Diesel
- Hyneas (The Lion King) as the Troublesome Trucks
- The Creator as Toby's Crew
- Rat in the hat as Bertie (Cameo)
- Mayor Millford Meanswell (LazyTown) as Terence (Cameo)
- George Carlin as the Narrator
- George Carlin: Maid Marian is a vixen who works for castle, putting hyneas in their places. She has a purple dress and shoes on her feet. Maid Marian is young, and full of her own ideas. She loves rearranging things, too, and began putting Keswick's hyneas in different places every day. This made Keswick cross.
- Keswick: Hyneas,
- George Carlin: He grumbled,
- Keswick: should be where you want them, when you want them!
- Maid Marian: Fiddlesticks!
- George Carlin: Said Maid Marian, and flounced away. At last, Keswick lost patience.
- Keswick: I can't waste time playing 'Hunt the Hyneas' with you, take them yourself!
- George Carlin: Maid Marian was pleased. Taking hyneas made her feel important. At the station, Plankton came up to her.
- Maid Marian: Keswick's an old fusspot!
- George Carlin: She complained. Plankton sensed trouble, and was delighted.
- Maid Marian: Keswick says only he can manage to take hyneas!
- George Carlin: Continued Maid Marian.
- Plankton: How absurd.
- George Carlin: Squirmed Plankton.
- Plankton: Depend upon it, Maid Marian, anything he can do, we can do better.
- George Carlin: Plankton knew nothing about hyneas, but Maid Marian didn't realize this. Keswick's route crosses the main road behind the station, and for a short way, follows a farm lane. Frosty weather makes the muddy lane rock-hard and very slippery. Keswick stops before reaching the lane. His creator haults the traffic at the crossing, and then he sets off again. By using the heavy hyneas to push him along, he has no trouble with the frosty mud in the lane, and across the road. It is the only safe thing to do in this kind of weather. Keswick warned Maid Marian and told her just what to do.
- Maid Marian: I can manage thank you!
- George Carlin: She replied.
- Maid Marian: I'm not an old fusspot like you.
- George Carlin: The hyneas were tired of being pushed around by Maid Marian.
- Hyneas: It's slippery.
- George Carlin: They whispered.
- Hyneas: Let's push her around instead. On, on!
- George Carlin: They yelled. Maid Marian took no notice. Instead, she took the hyneas carefully down the lane, and stopped at the level crossing. All traffic haulted.
- Maid Marian: One in the head for fusspot Keswick!
- George Carlin: Chortled Maid Marian. But Maid Marian had stopped in the wrong place. Instead of taking Keswick's advice, she had given the hyneas the chance they wanted.
- Hyneas: Hold back, hold back!
- George Carlin: They cried.
- Maid Marian: Grrr! Up!
- George Carlin: Ordered Maid Marian. The hyneas just laugh and she got stuck helplessly. Workmen sanded the road and try to dig away the frozen mud. But it was no use. Everyone was impatient.
- Maid Marian: Grrr!
- George Carlin: Said Maid Marian. Keswick was at TUFF when he heard the news.
- Keswick: I warned her.
- George Carlin: He fumed.
- Keswick's Creator: She's young yet.
- George Carlin: Soothed his creator.
- Keswick: And she can manage her hyneas herself!
- George Carlin: Interrupted Keswick.
- Keswick's Creator: They're you hyneas really.
- George Carlin: His creator replied.
- Keswick's Creator: Maid Marian was supposed to stay in the castle. If Bob the Tomato finds out.
- Keswick: Hmmm... Yes.
- George Carlin: Said Keswick thoughtfully. He and his creator agreed that it would be best to help Maid Marian after all. An angry farmer was telling Maid Marian just what she could do with her hyneas.
- Keswick: Having trouble Maid Marian?
- George Carlin: Laughed Keswick.
- Keswick: I am surprised.
- Maid Marian: Grrrosh!
- George Carlin: Said Maid Marian. With work hard and slippery feet, Keswick pushed Maid Marian and the hyneas back. The hard work made his heart pound fiercely. And his creator used hot cinders to melt the frozen mud. At last, they finished.
- Keswick: Good-bye.
- George Carlin: Called Keswick.
- Keswick: You'll manage now, I expect.
- George Carlin: Maid Marian didn't answer. She took the hyneas to the shed and scuttled back home as quickly as she could.

... navigable. You can always recognize a man made bayou because it is straight, not something that occurs in nature.
Once we were at full speed it became apparent that controlling an airboat is not an exacting science, it kinda weaves and skids all over the place and you point it in the general direction you want to proceed. Making a 90 degree turn at full speed was more of a skid or a power drift, and very exciting!

Why You Should Care About Jerry Powell
Geege Schuman stashed this in Basketball
Stashed in: Basketball, Stories
Forty-five, compact and with a shaved head, Powell looks something like a Marine sergeant crossed with a hip-hop star. He's known for his rough, tough, in-your-face training philosophy, which can stretch even giants to new heights. But while most elite trainers have their heads in the NBA, Powell is just as immersed in the players who are far from the spotlight of everyone except … a breed of intense parents. We're talking about kids, of course, ages 4 and up, whom Powell trains just as hard as he does the pros — so they might be pros themselves one day. Powell's method is controversial but apparently effective: Whether he's training a 7-year-old peewee or a 25-year-old all-star, Powell tries to stimulate game-time intensity, curses usually included.
Powell's mantra? "Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard." Other than that, he insists, "there is no Jerry Powell way. There is the right way and the wrong way."
This guy. Because All Stars. Because almost March. Because ramping up. Because Sunday morning read.
.....medical condition, Powell, who worked for years in a sanitation department, describes a difficult childhood. Of his surgery, he says, "I could have died."
Dramatic, perhaps, but today, some 14 years later, there's a long roster of people who are grateful he lived. Like King James, as in, yes, LeBron, the basketball great. Or for that matter, a host of other NBA stars from Kevin Durant to Paul George to Danny Green, who praises Powell's ability to adapt to different players' styles "and break down their strengths and weaknesses." Though he's not a household name, Powell is a big deal in the ranks of both men's and women's professional basketball leagues — the power behind the power — and one of just a handful of truly elite basketball trainers. No, they won't be taking bows during today's NBA's annual All-Star Game, but they are the ones who know how to push the best through hours of footwork and sprints and shots so that the public can be awed by these stars' graceful three-pointers and gleaming deltoids.

Extreme Sage Fighting
Cage fighting. Only with sages, intellectuals better known for their mental prowess than their physical ability.
"Layyyyy-deeeeees and Gennellmennnnnnnnnn, welcome back to the main feature this evening. For those of you who, like me, fell asleep during the first bout between Gandhi and the fourth Buddha, the judges declared for Buddha during the twenty-fifth hour! A fly landed on Gandhi's eyeball and the judges declared that his involuntary blink counted as swatting the fly and thus was an act of aggression! Gandhi has retired to his dressing room to contemplate his action and a crack team of medics is attempting to resuscitate the Buddha, who might just have achieved Enlightenment during the bout! If he has, you can bet we'll be boasting about that next week. They won't be able to stop us showing the corpse in the advertising this time!
For the main feature tonight we have in the red corner, wielding an impressive array of weaponry, literally armed to the teeth and beyond, the seven legendary sages of Hsin! Each sage has learned a different martial discipline and has mastered his weapon to the point where he considered to be one with it, which we are sure leads to some difficult explaining in the bedroom! They fear no man, though sensible men fear them; they've slaughtered dentists, doctors and hairdressers just while getting ready to come into the ring this evening.
In the blue corner, shivering, looking worriedly around with a strange glazed look in his eyes, we have... some old man we found up a mountain! He was sputtering gibberish and chewing on rocks, which is how our researchers knew he was a sage. He's denied all knowledge not only of weapons, but also of his own hands and feet, which are all so gangrenous that they've been declared hazardous to human health! Particularly his, ahem.
AND THERE'S THE BELL! The seven legendary sages are out of their corner as though we electrify the ropes when the bell rings (that's just an ugly rumour folks, put about by the good people at WWF; that's the World Wildlife Fund for those of you new to the show). Some old man we found up a mountain is attempting to chew through his wrist, and there! THERE! In the first offensive onslaught of the match legendary sage number 3 has hurled sixteen poison darts at some old man we found up a mountain. Some of them have struck... the audience! The lady in the front row with the pearls is frothing at the mouth! She's starting to throw up now! She's -- wait! Some old man we found up a mountain is holding up a paw -- I mean hand. There's three darts stuck in there, should it be that colour, Johnny? Is black normal...? The poison's having no effect, the gangrene is holding it off! This is amazing, laydees and gennelmenn!
The legendary sages have surrounded some old man we found up a mountain and the referee is going in to break it up, and -- oh, that's gotta hurt! The referee is back his corner... and the red corner, and the blue one! There's pieces of him everywhere. That, folks, is how you use a rice flail! I'm so impressed I'm cowering under my chair and behind Johnny; operation HUMAN SHIELD is in effect!
Legendary sage number two has pulled a pole-arm out from somewhere, I've got no idea where he hiding that but he looks like he's walking a little easier now. His hands are a blur as he spins that... what would you call that Johnny? A voulge? OH MY LORD! Some old man we found up a mountain has spat on legendary sage number six, who's been holding back, waiting for a clear shot with his propane-fuelled flamethrower and legendary sage number six is NOT HAPPY! HE IS NOT HAPPY AT ALL! Look at him pull that trigger. Oh my, there goes some old man we found up a mountain! Like a candle in the wind, or in this case like a candle dropped into an erupting volcano. He's a pillar of flame! And so is legendary sage number two! And sage number seven, whose trained for years with concussion grena--"
"Laydeeeeeeees and gennellmennnnnnnnn, for those of you who have any hearing left, it's a victory to the remaining legendary sages of Hsin! Join us tomorrow night, when we'll have more Extreme Sage Fighting for your entertainment!"

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - April 25, 2004, New Braunfels, Texas city ™ r ll S C|^V LIMIT - By Leigh Jones Staff Writer Monday night, New Braunfels Independent School District Board of Trustees will quiz administration on the connection between the proposed tax year change and next year's budget. Although the board has had several opportunities at previous meetings to discuss both issues, some trustees still have questions. "We haven't had much budget discussion yet," said Sandy Hill, NBISD executive director of business services. "During the last workshops, [trustees] have discussed the tax year." Trustees voted unanimously at the last regular meeting to postpone further discussion on the proposed tax year change until their budget questions could be answered. They might consider a vote May IO. Faced with a projected $1.3 million deficit, the board hired a consultant to recommend possible budget cuts, one of which was changing the tax year to take advantage of current property appraisals. Superintendent Ron Reaves' proposed budget—without changing the tax year — results in a net loss of $17,044. He cut $1,331,703 out of a See NBISD.

Kendrick represented District 4, which includes the Gruene area. He came here from Houston to retire because of the area's beauty and became active in the community to protect the rivers. For him and his wife Robert Kendrick painter, a business owner, a politician and family man. "He was always an excellent father," said Bob Kendrick, Kendrick's oldest son. "He was very supportive in whatever we wanted to do." Kendrick was Bob's best friend and hero. He also was involved in his six children's lives as a boy scout leader and coach. Kendrick's parenting and strong example will live on in Bob's two children, he said. Full obituary. PAGE 3A Betty, he ..................................... While Kendrick designed and built a house was on council, he was part almost on his own. Knowing the pancreatic cancer had finally defeated him, he spent the last month or more of his life in the home looking out at the waters of the Guadalupe River. During his life he was a bird watcher, an intellectual, a boy scout, an athlete, an architect, a sculptor and of a recurring 4-3 split pitting pro-chamber of commerce members against anti-chamber members. In 2000, Kendrick led a campaign that yielded 3,000 signatures in support of an alcohol ban on New Braunfels' rivers. See KINDRICK.

Inside Deal could end fire/EMS service outside city limits Dy Scott Mahon Staff Writer New Braunfels Fire Department and the cities of Seguin and Schertz liave provided fire and EMS services in Guadalupe County for years, but that could change Tuesday. lf it does, NBFD personnel will not respond to emergency calls outside their own city limits, a concern for residents in nearby communities like Lake Dunlap and Geronimo. But if Guadalupe County commissioners vote the way rural residents want, a four-agency coalition will continue to provide the type of service that those and other Guadalupe County residents have come to expect. Debate over the issue has raged for weeks as Guadalupe commissioners searched for a lower-cost service option. But Guadalupe County Judge Donald Schraub said the City of Seguin may have "black mailed" commissioners, strong-arming them into continuing a three-year-old mutual-aid agreement. WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT? Three years ago, Guadalupe County entered into an agreement with Schertz and Seguin to provide EMS services to almost 700 square miles of unincorporated areas of the county. As a result, a coalition was formed between Seguin, Schertz, Hays County and New Braunfels to provide mutual assistance for fire and EMS services in Guadalupe County. Each outside agency is paid for providing emergency services in Guadalupe County. New Braunfels receives about $60,000 a year, Darren Brinkkoeter, New Braunfels fire marshal, said. Over time, Guadalupe County officials became concerned about he amount of money See MAL, Page 2A DAVID MORAM/Herald-Zeitung lf Guadalupe County commissioners don't vote Tuesday the way rural residents want. New Braunfels EMS personnel like Brandon Riojas, left, and Brett Patton will not be able to travel beyond the New Braunfels city limits to respond to calls in Guadalupe County.

The Londoner's victory gave Britain their first double figure golden haul since the 1920 Games in Antwerp, and their first Olympic boxing gold since 1968 when middleweight Chris Finnegan triumphed at the Mexico City Games.
Harrison, who won by the convincing 30-16 margin over the man from Kazakhstan, said: "I said it was my destiny and I proved that I am not just a man that can talk.
"I knew I had him licked when I got in there. I wasn't going to be denied."
There were a few nervous moments for Harrison - before he even arrived at the venue. The Brit, suffering with a swollen left hand, needed a medical check-up this morning but was passed fit.
"It was tough, four fights in a week," Harrison said.
"I've had a little problem with my knuckle, which went on my second fight, but I kept it to myself and didn't tell anyone about it and I showed that I could still pull it out today.
"The staff at the BOC and the people at the British Olympics Association have been great and fixed me up."
Harrison, as in common with his previous bouts, trailed Dildabekov, and was 0-2 behind halfway through the opening round, still looking to land his first telling punch.
And his first reward was a triple one which swept him into a 3-2 lead at the same time forcing to take a standing count.
Harrison was ahead, looking good despite the hand trouble and was ready to punch his way to gold.
The new champion displayed more power in his blows, though sparingly throwing the left, and his work was highlighted by a right uppercut for 7-3 and finished round two 9-4 ahead.
From that point, Harrison was going to be extremely difficult to deny, though Dildabekov cut his lead 9-8 in the third before big Audley opened up, sweeping through from 10-8 to 18-12.
He was only two minutes from glory, and did an ideal job in the final round for his historic 30-16 triumph.
"It was a comprehensive win. I was working well, there were lots of open targets and I knew I was always going to be catching him," Harrison said.
"It's a shame I had the bad hand or I would have taken him out.
"The hand was hurting bad enough that I had to put a jab in it to keep the pain off, all above board of course. It was really bad this morning, the size of an apple.
"Everyone knows that's my power hand, my left cross is my power hand, so it was like going to war with that gun missing. But I showed I was going to go through with it no matter what.
"The win is the most important thing. I'm a very happy man."
"I said it was my destiny and I proved I'm not just a man who can talk, I'm a man who can deliver the goods as well.
"I'm not going to make any plans now I'm just going to enjoy this moment. This is a special moment. This is the Olympic Games.
"Then I'm going to go away, get myself fixed up and you'll be hearing a lot more from Audley Harrison."
How impressive was Harrison's win?
He was given the ultimate seal of approval by world heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield, who acknowledged that overcoming an injury was "the mark of a champion".
Holyfield added: "He did great. He did what was necessary.
"The guy he fought was kind of awkward but he established his long jab, he built the points and a couple of times he had him out.
"Boxing will probably be over in a year for me, but I'm sure his future is great."

The man afraid of his own shadow
"It's following me, Doc."
"Hm? Oh, er, yes..." Dr. Fraud glanced up from his Notebook, which was now informing him that it would have to restart six times before it would display the letter T. The wide-eyed man had leaned closer to him and was whispering conspiratorially as well as invading Dr. Fraud's personal space. "What's following you?"
"It is following me, Doc. Everywhere I go, I turn around and there it is. Don't look now, but it's behind me at this very moment!" The current patient was middle aged, with a lack of hair on his head and most likely a surplus of it everywhere else. He had a mouse-like look, which was inconvenient considering that Dr. Fraud's next patient had an extreme fear of rodents. He also had bad breath, a fact which the psychiatrist would rather not be aware of.
"Um... please explain," replied Dr. Fraud, glancing nervously at the Father Time egg timer. Still forty minutes left. He'd need to make sure the patient drew this one out.
"Well, it... it's black. And I don't mean racially. It's pitch black, Doc, and it's following me!" Now his eyes were bulging from their sockets. Dr. Fraud backed up a few inches.
"Yes. You've established that already. You wouldn't be referring to your shadow, would y--"
"Don't say its name, Doc! It knows!"
"So you are," replied Dr. Fraud, unconcerned. On the Notebook, Clippy was now in his more unpleasant personality and was dancing around the screen. "Look, there's actually a well-known metaphor that goes 'afraid of your own shadow.' I'm not entirely sure, but I think it may mean 'forget it and don't see a shrink.'"
The paranoid man tilted his head like a confused parakeet. "Is that so, Doc? But... it's still following me."
"Yes it is, sir. Yes it is. If you avoid this building, however, I think it will eventually stop."
"Oh..." The man frowned, evidently never having heard said metaphor before. "But--"
"You've no time to waste!"
"R-Right!" Before Clippy could polka back down to his spot in the lower right-hand corner, the man and his shadow had jogged out the door.
And still thirty minutes left. "Oh, I am good..." sighed Dr. Fraud.

From the best-selling author of the Blood Curse series comes a new legend of danger, dark-fantasy, and vampiric dragons....
Mina Louvet is a fighter, a human with a powerful will to survive in a world dominated by warlocks, soul-eaters, and shifters. Identified by the king's witch as one of the rare, invaluable females in Dragons Realm who can give birth to a dragon's son, she was stolen from her parents as a child and taken to the Keep to be reared in the ways of the Ahavi. As one of the few, the elect - the Sklavos Ahavi - Mina is expected to feed her master's fire, reanimate his blood, and above all else, give him strong dragon offspring: children who will one day rise to power. But Mina, to her great misfortune, is far too intelligent for her own good: She has a stubborn sense of justice, and she is wholly incapable of blind submission.
Dante Dragona is as cunning as he is lethal, as methodical as he is dangerous, and as terrifying as he is powerful. As the eldest of three dragon princes, he is destined to succeed his merciless father to the throne of Castle Dragon. But first he must do his duty to the Realm by governing one of its harsh, unforgiving districts and claiming a Sklavos Ahavi. Hardened by the sadistic abuse he endured as a child and shaped by the tragic suicide of his twin, the prince lives only to fulfill his obligations to the monarchy: to maintain law and order in a bestial land, to contain its magical inhabitants, and to keep the kingdom safe from its mortal enemies, the Lycanian shifters across the sea. Like all primordial dragons, he rules with an iron fist, dominates with absolute power, and punishes with fire. Those who oppose him die a swift and brutal death - subject, enemy, or slave, the Realm has no tolerance for weakness.
When the iron resolve of a dragon prince clashes with the stubborn will of a slave, bonds will be broken, alliances will be tested, and a kingdom will be set ablaze.

Bring on the Dragons...
I loved everything from beginning to end but, if I had to pick something that really spoke to me I would have to say it was how Tessa Dawn made the journey unpredictable. The twists and turns had me holding my breath a lot of the time.
Definitely when Damian went on his rampage in the tent and the outcome that transpired. I don't like to give away spoilers so I won't elaborate. But, all I can say is WOW!
The man nailed the genre and time period. Mikael brought to life each character with amazing depth. Each personality stood out. He did a brilliant job in my opinion.
Mina, I would love to have a conversation with her about her time at the Keep, her life since and what the future holds for her and her family. I loved her strength, admired her compassion and would enjoy getting to know her better.
I am so glad Tessa Dawn ventured into this time period and for anyone that loves Gothic, Dark Fantasy you will not be disappointed in this story. Brought to life by Mikael Naramore, this tale will grab you , have you on the edge of your seat, leave you breathless and have you longing for more.

The Birth of Troy
Long ago, a little baby was tied to a tree, left by his unknown parents high on a mountain called Gran Sasso d'Italia. He cried continuously for three days and three nights until an old wise man named Pete came along. Pete had longed for a little boy to take care of since his family died from a terrible disease. He was lonely for many years, but as soon as he found the baby, he burst into tears of happiness. He took him home and gave the baby boy a name, Troy.

Having revisited their 1960s landmark Odessey and Oracle a few years back, Rod Argent and Colin Blunstone here revive The Zombies as a going concern, with a new album that repositions the band within the sonic lineage of Steely Dan.
The serpentine melodies and smart-aleck musical chops of tracks like "Any Other Way" and the title-track could have come off Aja or Gaucho, and elsewhere an authentic 1960s prog-pop tone is sustained through Argent's surging organ and sly piano, combined with the layered harmonies of Blunstone, whose voice seems impressively unravaged by time. There are echoes of "The Long and Winding Road" in "Shine on Sunshine", while the reflective "A Moment in Time" could have come from Odessey and Oracle itself.

A law against discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation could infringe freedom of speech and religion, the head of the Catholic Church in Hong Kong has said.
Speaking publicly for the first time on the issue, Cardinal John Tong Hon said the law could breach the United Nations' 1948 human rights declaration.
"Actually, such a law that claims to ensure equality is extremely likely to cause serious infringement on the freedom of speech and of religion, as well as violating the Universal Declaration of Human Rights," the cardinal told the diocese publication Kung Kao Po.
He said the declaration stated that everyone had the right to express their views through any channels without intervention.
He also rejected suggestions by some gay groups that churches be exempted from any such law, meaning they would not be in violation even if they made speeches against homosexuals.
"This would divide the relationship between the churches and society," the cardinal said.
Tong spoke out against same-sex marriage, saying the tradition that marriage should be between a man and a woman was for "the well-being of human society".
Brian Leung, convenor of rights group the Big Love Alliance, accused the cardinal of not giving the whole picture.
"The declaration also says that people cannot discriminate against homosexuals, and that they should be treated equally. He can't just talk about one part of the declaration and be tight-lipped about the other parts."
He said Pope Francis had made speeches that showed greater acceptance of homosexuals than previous popes. He hoped the cardinal would learn from the pope.

RCG Project Descriptions for 2015 Grants
Population Trends, Bear Poaching, and Bear Farming in China. William J. McShea and David Garshelis. Project no. IBA 2014-15 12.
Project summary: The bear family is one of the most threatened mammalian families in the world (Schipper et al. 2008). Each bear species faces a number of threats, but only one — the Asiatic black bear — is threatened principally by commercial poaching for parts. The market for parts of Asiatic black bears is centred in China; this country also comprises more than half the range of this species. Asiatic black bears are most coveted for the bile in their gallbladders, which is used in Traditional Chinese Medicine and has proven medicinal qualities. The Chinese have developed a large and profitable industry to farm and extract bile from live bears; they assert that the plentiful, legal supply of farmed bile alleviates poaching of wild bears. Prompted by a resolution by the World Conservation Congress, the IUCN and Chinese government are initiating a multi-faceted, large scale study to investigate whether bear farming reduces or increases demand for wild bile. One component of this project involves tracking trends in wild bear populations and examining whether poaching, even in the presence of nearby bear farms, causes population declines. Here we evaluate various monitoring methods in nature reserves in China. The ultimate aim is to establish a nationwide black bear monitoring system.
Kamchatka Brown Bear: Movements, Habitat Selection, Behaviour, Genetics and Human-bear Conflicts. Liya Pokrovskaya. Project no. IBA 2014-15 19.
Project summary: The Kamchatka brown bear (Ursus arctos piscator Pucheran, 1855) is the largest subspecies in Eurasia, being the top predator in the food web and playing a crucial role in the ecosystem of Kamchatka peninsula. It is an important object of ecotourism, trophy hunt and cultural traditions of indigenous people. Kamchatka brown bears are facing escalating threats from illegal harvest, increased human access to bear habitat, oil and gas development, and mining, habitat loss and resource degradation (Paczkowski, 2005). Despite the visual availability of Kamchatka bears, the movements and habitat selection patterns, genetic structure of the population and many behavioural attributes remain totally unstudied. During the last 10 years the frequency of human-bear conflict on Kamchatka have raised considerably. Understanding of these aspects of bear biology and the causes and consequences of conflicts are essential for successful management of the population. In 2015 we plan to begin a long-term international project for investigation Kamchatka brown bear population, located in the Kronotsky State Natural Biosphere Reserve and in adjacent unprotected areas. The aim of our project is to study behavioural ecology of Kamchatka brown bear and to develop a science-based program of population monitoring and management, especially regarding mitigation of human-bear conflicts. Our project is comprised of four main parts: GPS tracking, behavioural studies, genetic sampling and human-bear conflicts analysis and mitigation. We will investigate how the environmental quality, internal states of animals and anthropogenic pressure affect movements and habitat selection of bears to obtain an integrated understanding of their combined influence. Local communities will be involved in process of human-bear conflict reduction. Our project will provide both practical and theoretical outputs: 1) better understanding of Kamchatka brown bear biology and 2) raising effectiveness of Kamchatka brown bear monitoring and sustainable use. Funds ($15,000) are requested from IBA for field equipment, travel and life support for 4 researches during expedition and publication costs.
Photographic Monitoring of the Western Hudson Bay Polar Bear Population. Elisabeth Flaherty. Project no. IBA 2014-15 06.
Project summary: Cameras and photography analysis methods show promise for noninvasively collecting information about wildlife including estimating nutritional status and collecting body measurements that allow for evaluation and monitoring of one of the most southern populations of polar bears. The decline in annual sea ice, both with early break-up and late ice formation, reduces time available for polar bears to effectively hunt seals resulting in lower fat storage for use during the ice-free period in the summer. Declines in skull and body size, survival, abundance, and cub recruitment have been observed in polar bear populations during the last 10 years and appear related to the decline in sea ice. We propose a graduate research project to develop non-invasive methods and associated technology to estimate body condition of polar bears and establish a long-term monitoring program in Churchill, Manitoba (58.777°N, 93.699°W). We are requesting $3450 to support this work. Our objectives are to develop and advance existing methods used to noninvasively estimate polar bear body size and condition using photography and geometric morphometric methods and to evaluate possible changes in body condition and size over the last 30 years using recent and historic photographs from the same location. Efforts to collect photographs with location and distance to the bear using a laser rangefinder began during the 2012 fall field season and continued through 2014. In addition to these data, our partner, Polar Bears International, has >30 years of photographs of bears from this population near Churchill that we would use to evaluate changes in body size and condition over time. Ultimately, our goal with this work is to develop a citizen science project involving development of a website with an online tool that would allow citizen scientists to upload personal photos and use our methods to collect measurements of animals in their photographs.
Status and Conservation Challenges for Baluchistan Black Bear (Ursus thibetanus gedrosianus) in Balochistan, Pakistan. Ullah Najeeb. Project no. IBA 2014-15 14.
Project summary: Asiatic black bear is among the least known species of the world with very limited published literature available (Woodroffe 2001). It is a rare mammals and is listed in the IUCN's Red List as a vulnerable species. The Balochistan black bear (Ursus thibetanus gedrosianus) is considered a subspecies of the Asiatic black bear found only in Balochistan province of Pakistan and some adjacent areas of south-eastern Iran (Roberts 1997). The Baluchistan bear locally known as "Mum", was once widely distributed in most of Balochistan province of Pakistan. Historically, this species has been reported in the Suleiman Range (Zhob District), Ziarat, Harnai, Khuzdar, Kharan and the Lasbela hills (Roberts, 1997). It is considered extinct from a major part of its formal range, and the remaining population is fragmented and may be confined to an area of 12,000-50,000 sq. km. The black bear population in Balochistan is always considered isolated and unique (Sheikh and Malour 2003) and emphasis has been made on investigation of its status. However, there has been no serious attempt in past to study this species, and the available information is very limited and mostly in the form of anecdotes and unverified reports. There is risk of losing such a unique population of black bear if situation prevails for long. The proposed study aims to investigate current status of the black bear through systematic survey in entire range of the black bear in Balochistan province.
The Effects of Declining Sea Ice on Polar Bear Behaviors and Energetic Rates. Anthony Pagano. Project no. IBA 2014-15 17.
Project summary: Recent declines in polar bear body condition, survival, and population size have been linked to declines in sea ice. Increased energy expenditure from changing sea ice conditions may be the underlying cause of these declines, but little is known about the behaviors and energy demands of polar bears. This study is using accelerometers to remotely identify polar bear behaviors and estimate energy rates. In 2014, we deployed long-term GPS satellite collars with accelerometers on 13 wild adult female polar bears. In addition, we deployed short-term video camera collars with accelerometers on 4 wild adult female polar bears. These 4 individuals were also dosed with doubly-labeled water to measure their metabolic rate. We are using the video collar data as well as data collected from captive bears to calibrate accelerometers to develop a method to remotely identify polar bear behaviors (e.g., walking, swimming, resting, eating). We plan to estimate the energetic costs of these behaviors by measuring oxygen consumption of captive bears while resting, walking, and swimming. We will use these data to both identify the behaviors of wild adult female polar bears and estimate the energetic costs of these behaviors. We will then link these behaviors and energetic rates to specific habitats based on GPS location data to understand how polar bear behaviors and energy expenditures are being affected by climate change. The results from this work will be used by the U.S. Geological Survey to update models forecasting the distribution and abundance of global polar bear populations under scenarios of a changing climate. Funds provided by the IBA in 2013 and 2014 were vital to our ability to collect the captive data needed for this study. We request an additional and final $5,000 for 2015 to help further aid this research.
Evaluating the Feasibility of the Use of Pacific Salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) Carcasses as Sources for Brown Bear (Ursus arctos) DNA. Rachel Wheat. Project no. IBA 2014-15 25.
Project summary: Funding is requested in the amount of $5000 to contribute to research investigating whether brown bear (Ursus arctos) saliva collected from Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) carcasses is a viable source of bear DNA. Brown bears are the dominant predators on salmon spawning grounds in many areas of the North Pacific Rim. After capturing salmon in rivers and streams, brown bears move carcasses to land to feed. Bears modify their consumption of salmon to maximize lipid intake, often feeding selectively on body parts, such as brains and gonads, that provide the most concentrated amount of fat (Gende et al. 2001). In total, brown bears consume as little as 25% of the salmon they kill (Quinn 2005). This high-grading behavior results in many partially consumed salmon carcasses left near spawning areas, particularly when salmon abundance is high. Our aim is to determine whether saliva collected from high-graded salmon carcasses is a viable source of DNA for brown bears, and, if so, to determine a collection protocol that maximizes quality of DNA retrieved from carcasses. To date, we have collected 188 brown bear saliva samples from 156 partially consumed sockeye (Oncorhynchus nerka) and chum (O. keta) carcasses from the Chilkoot (59° 20.244' -135° 35.370') and Klehini (59° 24.885' -136° 04.016') watersheds in northern Southeast Alaska. Funding will be used for DNA extraction from samples and molecular genotyping of individual bears using microsatellite markers. Extraction success rates, genotyping error, and allelic dropout rates for the 188 saliva samples will be compared with the same values calculated from extraction and genotyping of 272 brown bear fecal samples collected concurrently.
Spatial interactions in multi-carnivore communities and ungulate predation in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta. Evelyn Merril. Project no. IBA 2014-15 13.
Project summary: Understanding how large carnivores interact within a predator-prey system is essential for their management and conservation. To date, most predator/prey studies have focused on one predator and their prey species. A recent study on predator communities indicated that communities that include grizzly bears show additive mortality on juvenile ungulates (Griffin et al. 2011). In the central east slopes of the Rocky Mountains of Alberta, a diverse community of large predators including grizzly and black bears prey on a declining population of elk and an increasing population of deer. As part of our 13-year study on elk, we propose to use scat-detection dogs as a cost-effective approach of surveying multiple predators in the area to determine (1) how predators are spatially distributed relative to each other on the landscape as an indication of predator risk, and (2) their relative predation on elk vs. other ungulates based on scat analysis including distinguishing predation on juveniles based on hair characteristics in the scat. We hypothesize that grizzly bears are a major predator at high elevations on migratory elk calves, black bears are a major predator at low elevations on resident elk calves, wolf and coyote scat are negatively associated but their predation risk is more widespread than bears, whereas cougar and lynx predation is local and focused on deer rather than elk. We request $4500 from IBA to cover five months of ATV rental for access to very difficult terrain ($3000), field supplies including GPS software and scat collection materials ($500), and a portion of the DNA analysis of the scat samples ($1000).
Marsican Bear Smart Community. ONG Salviamo l'Orso. Project no. IBA 2014-15 22.
Project summary: The population of brown bear of the Italian central Apennines (Fig. 1) has been proposed has an endemic subspecies with the name Ursus arctos marsicanus (Altobello, 1921), based on morphologic and genetic diversity (Loy et al. 2008), and is Critically Endangered according to the IUCN Red List of Italy (Rondinini et al. 2013). The key threat to its persistence is the direct persecution due to conflicts with farmers. The project Marsican Bear Smart Community consists of a set of conservation interventions to prevent conflicts between humans and bears and educate the local communities of Pettorano sul Gizio (~41˚58′ N 13˚57′ E) and Rocca Pia (~41˚56′ N 13˚58′ E) on how to co-exist with bears. The project area connects the Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise NP (ALMNP), hosting all reproductive females, to a large suitable and protected area, the Majella NP (MNP). Establishing bear smart communities in this region is critically important to promote the re-colonization process and ensure the persistence of this subspecies. This project builds on existing actions implemented in the core-area of the Marsican bears to reduce road mortality, disturbance from human activities and poaching through generous donations from private citizens, and foundations. The main actions proposed include: 1) secure livestock and beehives at higher risk of bear predation through provision of electric fences; 2) provision of bear-proofs waste bins; 3) production and publication of a best-practice manual for a "Bear smart community"; 4) public events to disseminate the manual, maximize uptake of the best-practice, strengthen the support for the organization and the project, and build a local, lasting capacity to co-exist with bears; 5) financial support to local councils to close vehicular traffic in forestry roads connecting the NPs; 7) monitoring of the impacts of our activities through reporting of bear damages and bear frequentation.

Assessing the Innate Odor-Driven Behavior of Brown Bears (Ursus arctos). Heiko Jansen. Project no. IBA 2014-15 08.
Project summary: To date, very little scientific evidence exists regarding bear olfaction and thus major gaps exist in our knowledge. These gaps can be organized into three related categories: innateness, specificity, and sensitivity of odor-driven behaviors. Innateness refers to that component of bear odor-driven behavior that is not learned through reinforcement and repetition. This is potentially an important determinant of cub survival especially when emerging from the den with few learned behaviors combined with a complex and potentially dangerous olfactory landscape. A fundamental ecological question therefore is how young bears will respond to odors from potential threats such as adult males, other predators (wolves, coyotes, mountain lions), or humans in the absence of learning and reinforcement. One possibility is that young bears exhibit an innate aversion to certain odors from potential predators. Conversely, an innate attraction to familiar scents, such as those from the mother's milk or urine, may be expressed and override any innate fear. To our knowledge these hypotheses have never been tested directly. Thus, the goal of the current proposal is to systematically address several aspects of odor-directed behavior in bears to broaden our understanding of this important function. We will use a custom-built and expandable behavioral apparatus that allows precise control over odor delivery and one that can also be used to repeatedly test olfactory function over the first year of life in a cohort of captive brown bear cubs. The bear research facility at Washington State University has a long history of innovate research in bear biology and conservation is therefore uniquely qualified to address these novel questions. Ultimately, the knowledge gained will allow conservationists and managers to better understand the unique role that olfaction plays in the daily life of bears especially when developing plans to mitigate bear-human conflicts.
Assessing ecological connectivity and kin-related social organization among brown bears around the wildlife migration zone and human-bear conflict area Baile Tusnad, Romania. Alexandra Sallay. Project no. IBA 2014-15 21.
Project summary: Kin-related social structures have been documented in many gregarious animals, even for solitary mammals as the bear. It may influence population dynamics by means of reproductive success and survival. Still, it is not clarified if the aggregation of kin has a positive effect on the inclusive fitness of female bears. Former studies could indeed identify local clusters of genetically related individuals whereas other matrilines were dispersed. But matrilinear assemblages might only exist in habitats with sufficient food resources. The proposed project᾽s aim is therefore to continue a genetical study that assesses the ecological connectivity and kin-related social organization among (i.a. food-conditioned) brown bears (Ursus arctos) around the wildlife migration zone in Baile Tusnad and find out if multigenerational clusters in such human-bear conflict areas where food resources are abundant exist. In the first step we set up 16 hair-traps (photo-traps) on 23 km2 that were weekly baited and verified and collected faeces from April until December 2013. For genetical analyses we obtained a total of 98 hair samples (83 from hair taps, 6 captures, 8 dead bears, 1 injured individual) and 21 scat samples. We could identify at least 45 different genotypes (22 males, 20 females, 1 unknown sex; 2 possible matches with others). 6 individuals were recaptured at least more than once. Due to monitoring we assume 12 bears being "full-time residents" in Baile Tusnad, having their home ranges established in the area. Thus, 33 individuals used the area at least for crossing. Kinship-analyses suggested that 84% of pairs of individuals were unrelated, but among parent-offspring relationships female-female dyads were represented in highest percentage. We are requesting the IBA grant for analyzing 75 tissue samples of harvested bears (2012-2015) to investigate how genetic relatedness changes with increasing geographic distance from the corridor towards the East and the West.
