Endosomal dynamics and pathogen invasion
The movement of the thousands of distinct membrane proteins between the cell surface and intracellular compartments represents a critical cellular process as it controls the organisation of cells in tissues and the communication between cells and their environment. The success of this process depends on the regulated sorting and trafficking of proteins within the highly dynamic intracellular endosomal compartments of the cell.
Defects in endosomal trafficking are linked to many human diseases including various neurodegenerative diseases, cancers and metabolic diseases. Our long-term research program is focused on the discovery and characterisation of novel endosome associated proteins and defining their molecular function in endosomal trafficking pathways.
For example, our prior basic research into the characterisation of retromer, which is a central regulator of early endosome protein trafficking, recently enabled us to provide the first molecular insights into how its function is modified in disease. Genetic mutations in retromer have recently been associated with progressive neurological diseases including Parkinson's disease. We have determined the molecular changes that occur in endosomal trafficking to cause these disease states.
Numerous infectious pathogens depend on their ability to manipulate endosome trafficking, specifically through host-pathogen interactions, to successfully invade the host. We are currently investigating the molecular details of these pathways and how they are modulated in response to infection with a number of pathogens including Salmonella, a leading cause of human gastroenteritis; chlamydia, a major sexually transmitted disease; and Group A Streptococcus, a common bacterial cause of human mortality through a range of conditions.

In August, the Center for Public Service would like to recognize
service dogs in honor of International Service Dog Week and National Service
Dog Day. Service dogs have changed so many lives for the better, helping
individuals lessen the implications of their disabilities or limitations; and
in the case of police and search and rescue K9s their work has positively
impacted and changed many lives and entire communities perhaps by one
heroic act. They are an important part of our communities and the
public service sector.
Nominated by Kathy Holt, Kaplan University
student pursing a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, Applied Behavioral Analysis.
"Grace is a service dog by being with me, giving me comfort and solace against my depression. Without her begging for love or treats or a walk, I would have no reason to go on. She is very sweet and loveable and misses me terribly when she can't go places with me. Seeing her excited to see me when I come home is the best welcome. She should be recognized because she has made such a wonderful impact on my life." ~Kathy Holt

was the K9 partner of Deputy Kyle Pagerly of the Berks County Sheriff's
Department. On June 29, 2011, Deputy Pagerly, Jynx, additional sheriff's
deputies, US Marshalls, and police officers attempted to serve a felony warrant
on a violent fugitive. The fugitive, Matthew Connor, took cover in a sniper's
nest with an AK-37 semi-automatic rifle.
Berks County Sheriff Eric Weaknecht said,
"Jynx alerted Pagerly as to where the sniper was hiding and Pagerly then
ordered Connor to drop his weapon. When he refused, gunfire ensued and Deputy
Pagerly was shot and killed. In an attempt to remove his partner from harm's
way, Jynx attempted to drag Deputy Pagerly to safety. Matthew Connor was
prepared to ambush the entire fugitive task force. Without the heroic acts of
Deputy Jynx many lives could have been lost that night."

is my service dog and works with me in keeping me calm when I am out in large
crowds and around fireworks. He also works great with handicap children by
giving them a focus point and something to love. Also when we are out he helps
keep parents alert to where their children are. If Rocco sees children alone he
will bark and alert the adults in the area so that the child can be reunited
with their parents.
Rocco is a very
large German shepherd and gets attention from everyone he meets. He is a good example
that large dogs do not necessarily indicate that they will be mean. He has been
a lifesaver for me because I can go back out with my family. Before Rocco my
PTSD would not allow me to be around large groups of people because I would
have panic attacks. Now with him by my side, I can stay calm and relaxed and
enjoy family time. He also works with our friend's autistic child and helps him
stay calm and come out of his shell to try new things" ~ David Reed
Nominated by Melissa Reddin, Kaplan University student pursing a Master of Science in Homeland Security and Emergency Management.
"I have epilepsy and he alerts before I have a seizure, sometimes hours
before. I have learned that when Henry gets 'antsy' that I need to slow things
down and be ready because a seizure is coming. He stays near me but is restless
prior to a seizure' afterwards, he is almost as postictal as I am!" ~ Melissa Reddin
Nominated by Robert Antoine, Kaplan University student pursuing an Associate of Applied Science in Criminal Justice.

Nominated by School of Public Safety adjunct faculty Robert Bradely. Owner: The Centre County District Attorney's Office (Pennsylvania)
Eight-year-old Princess, a beautiful Yellow Labrador, has served many people in many different capacities. Princess spent the first year of her life in a state correctional institution living with and sharing a cell with a female inmate and service dog in training. The inmate and the dog worked together to teach puppy Princess basic obedience skills while the inmate learned the responsibility and joy of giving back to the community.
Once Princess reached one year of age, she went on to Lancaster, PA where she joined other graduate puppies for additional training to become a service dog. Princess was trained and eventually placed in a home to assist a small boy. When complications arose with the child's health and Princess was off to find her next human partner. At the age of four-and-a-half years old, Princess found her new home: The Centre County Office of the District Attorney. As the first official court dog on the east coast, Princess meets and assists all victims of crime, but she specializes in child victims who must enter the court system. Princess will accompany these children to interviews with law enforcement, Child Protective Services, prosecutors, and most importantly to the courtroom. Princess lays at the child's feet inside the witness box and provides comfort and support while the child testifies about their abuse, with their abuser sitting right there in the courtroom. Often if the child is crying, Princess will raise her head and nudge the child with her snout to let them know they are not alone. Princess also provides entertainment to the children by doing her vast array of tricks for treats. Children and other victims have sent cards and even Christmas presents to Princess thanking her for helping them through such a traumatic time. Princess has attended local, state, and national conferences to spread the word about the great work she does. As a result of her success, several other counties in the state of PA and other states now have dogs to assist in their courts and advocacy centers. The Centre County District Attorney's office sees approximately 1800 victims come through the court system each year. Princess has been with the District Attorney's office for nearly 4 years. Princess has a kind and gentle soul, and most people who meet her fall in love with her immediately.

I just wanted to tell all of Louisville, I am a coward. I hide behind this moniker because I am ashamed of my ideas... I don't win any arguments with logic, I just throw names, and call them stupid, and then I walk away thinking I did something good for humanity... but really, top-down fascist hierarchy, that's all we know, so either do as I say, or get called names... that's AmeriKKKa... there's no real conversation here, it's all hatred... it's believe as I say, not because it's logical, and it makes sense, but because if you don't, I'll get mad at you. Just like a little spoiled child. Who cares who gets mad at you ? That doesn't change the point. In fact, when logic and reason and science has escaped a society, that's the time to reject that society, because it's going straight to hell, and no, not the mythical being in the ground, but hell on earth.
Also, Im a lying hypocritical piece of shit. Thanks everybody!

No I'm the real Scarecrow... STFU piggy pig... you don't know me, I'm real, and legit, even if I never take any credit for any of my words... I'm a figment of my own imagination, and Im a masochist... I deserve all the harm that comes my way.
#24 Jan 13, 2012
Scarecrow you are so clever, I wish that I was only half as intelligent as you. Then I wouldn't have to sit here alone in my mother's basement. I think that I will put on a pair of her panties, maybe that will make me feel better.
#25 Jan 13, 2012
I have a little penis, and I hate black people. Whose with me ?
#26 Jan 13, 2012
And if you don't hate black folks as much as I do, then you clearly haven't been reading your Roman Catholic Bible. Read your Bible, and let the hate begin.

Miami's troubles go beyond Tony Sparano
Tony Sparano is 14-22 since leading the Dolphins to a division title in 2008. (AP)
Bill Parcells is one of the smartest football minds to ever grace the NFL, so when he started to cut bait on the Dolphins midway through the 2010 season, it probably should have stood as foreshadowing that 2011 would be rough. With Miami out to an 0-4 start and everyone from GM Jeff Ireland to head coach Tony Sparano to just about the whole roster under fire, the wheels appear to be completely off.
Sparano's days, one way or another, are numbered, barring a miracle run to the playoffs. Since leading Miami to a surprising division title in his first season, 2008, Sparano is just 14-22.
And Ireland, hired by Parcells to help revamp the Dolphins' roster, really shouldn't be any safer.
Ireland joined Dolphins owner Stephen Ross this offseason in openly pursuing Jim Harbaugh, despite the presence of Sparano as the team's head coach. He followed up that very public debacle by reportedly chasing a trade for Denver QB Kyle Orton, even as Chad Henne prepared for the season.
That potential deal fell through, leaving Henne as the team's de facto quarterback and Sparano as the lame-duck coach.
At some point, probably soon, Ross has no choice but to close the book on the Parcells era and try to move forward. Right now, nothing is working for the Dolphins.
Miami has the seventh-worst scoring offense and the seventh-worst defense in the league. Worse yet, all four of the Dolphins' losses have come within the conference, including two at home. They still have to play the Jets and Buffalo twice each, New England once, the entire NFC East and Oakland, among others.
Sparano has about as much chance of being hired as an Abercrombie model as he does scoring a playoff bid.
So why are the Dolphins dragging this out further? In-season firings rarely work out all that well, but Miami has a bye coming up -- which makes this the perfect time to pull the trigger, if any moves are to be made before next offseason.
Waiting only delays the inevitable. Miami still needs a quarterback it trusts, as well as a No. 1 running back -- Ireland's signing of Reggie Bush to fill that role has, to no one's surprise, not panned out. Both lines need upgrades, the secondary could use some fresh faces ... the list goes on and on.
All those gaps bring us back to Ireland, too. Parcells' inability to completely turn around Miami's fortunes had to be a major surprise and letdown for everyone in that organization. But Ireland has shown no ability to upgrade the team's talent on his own, which is a major reason behind the 0-4 start.
If Ross plans to change things up, whether it's now or in four weeks or in February, Ireland figures to be in as much hot water as Sparano. It's becoming painfully obvious that Miami's 2008 division title, its lone playoff appearance since 2001, was a smoke-and-mirrors job. There are very few remnants of a competitive team left, and Ross' eventual house cleaning should start at the top and be as wide-ranging as possible.

1. Introduction
Even though the origins of cloud computing (i.e., utility computing) date from the 1960s, cloud computing in 2010 is a youthful field. Accumulated advances in network capacity, nearly ubiquitous connectivity, storage capacity, and efficient hardware virtualization have created new business opportunities: cloud providers can now rent computing resources over network connections to customers at costs that are very competitive with direct customer ownership. Moreover, cloud-based resource rentals have the potential to be far more flexible and convenient than resource ownership for end users. To maximize these opportunities, cloud providers are inventing new tools to manage remote, network-accessed, rental computing resources. These tools range from low-level system management utilities to new programming languages, new middleware software stacks, and new scalable algorithms for computing on large collections of data under the assumption that large numbers of compute and storage servers can be rapidly provisioned under software control.
The US Government, along with other potential cloud-computing customers, has a strong interest in the evolution of a vibrant and competitive cloud-computing marketplace. Prospective customers, however, legitimately seek answers to three important questions:
- If a customer wishes to move their workload away from a cloud provider, can that be done at low cost and disruption? I.e., does the cloud provide portability?
- Can a customer concurrently employ multiple cloud providers to achieve a single goal at low cost? I.e., does the cloud provide interoperability?
- What support for security can cloud providers offer to allay concerns about how customer data is protected from unauthorized disclosure or modification; and what kinds of availability requirements can cloud providers satisfy? I.e., does the cloud provide support for security?
Generating high-quality cloud computing standards is one way to help to answer these questions, but standards development is time-consuming. In the absence of existing standards, there is a risk that short-term industry decisions affecting these questions, if not carefully considered in the short term, may become legacy constraints.
The Standards Acceleration to Jumpstart Adoption of Cloud Computing (SAJACC) project at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) seeks to generate concrete data about how different kinds of cloud system interfaces can support portability, interoperability, and security. By showing worked examples, the SAJACC project seeks to facilitate Standards Development Organizations in their efforts to develop high-quality standards that address these important needs.
The operation of SAJACC is conceptually simple. SAJACC will iteratively:
- develop a set of cloud system use cases that express selected portability, interoperability, and security concerns that cloud users may have;
- select a small set of existing cloud system interfaces that can be used for testing purposes;
- develop a test driver, for each use case and selected system interface, that represents (to the extent possible) the operation of the use case on the selected system interface;
- run the test drivers and document the extent each test driver can run on each selected system interface, and document any portability, interoperability, or security implications of the test run; and
- publish all use cases, test codes, and test results on the openly-accessible NIST Cloud Portal (www.nist.gov/itl/cloud), for use by Standards Development Organizations and other interested parties.
Figure 2 depicts the NIST Cloud Portal and the main steps of starting the SAJACC process. At this time of this writing, SAJACC is in step 1 of the figure.
Figure 1 SAJACC Process
This document describes a set of preliminary use cases developed for the SAJACC project for the first pass through the SAJACC process. Through a series of open workshops, and through public comment and feedback, NIST will continue to refine these use cases and add new use cases as appropriate.

Myrtle has been seeing strange things since her very young age. Through therapy and medication, she tried her hardest to make it all go away. Alas she could not. That is why she decided to visit Grey Hills, a special mental institution, where friends, love, surprises, and many, many dangers awaited her.
The man was running, to the best of his capacities. Running was no longer easy when one's legs were covered in cuts and bruises, and when one's body had been denied of a meal for nearly a month. Yet anger drove him. That wild, red anger that led him to run. He felt like someone had lit a fire inside him, and his organ were slowly burning. His longs choked on the smoke, his muscles shook from the pain.
He didn't remember how long it had been since he had felt it. That uncontrollable rage, that indignation. Perhaps it was the first time, actually. Strange, since he had lived quite a long time. An angel, he had been. Once upon a time, back where this weren't as messed up. Back when he didn't know the true meaning of the world fear. Yes, he's known fear. Very well, in fact. For the last two, perhaps three centuries this is what he had felt. Fear, terror, horror and despair. If only he hadn't fallen in love, if only he hadn't looked at his smile, hadn't wanted to wipe the tears from his face so badly God threw him out of Heaven…
He wouldn't have been so afraid. He wouldn't have known love and hope, wouldn't have known her, true. But he would've preferred never meeting her. Would have preferred not knowing what if felt like to lose the only good thing that had ever happened to him. Killed. Murdered. Butchered. Theft of her life. If it weren't for his husband, if it weren't for his master, he could've saved her. Could've spared her so much misery. It was his fault. He shouldn't have married him, shouldn't have fallen for him, shouldn't have cared for him, shouldn't have looked up to him…
He burst into the institute, branding his husband's weapon furiously in front of him. Grey Hills. The training ground for Nephilim and those with inhuman abilities. That one neutral place on earth. His husband didn't hunt there. He said it was boring.
Teenagers, young adults screamed at the sight of him. Screamed words that shot needle at his brain, blurred his vision and filled him with confusion. The intruder screamed with them. It felt good, but it still felt like he was going to burst. He couldn't bear the pain. How could anyone bear the pain?
A flutter of wings, a flash of light, and an arrow show through his chest. He barely felt a thing, he merely looked down and noticed. "DIE, monster!" Another arrow, straight through his heart. He swore he had one, he felt feelings for his husband a long time ago, and recently, for Her. Felt the pain of Her death.
God appeared before him. He recognised Him. He recognised His splendor. Then he went blind. He should've expected it. Someone like himself couldn't just casually gaze upon Him. Lucifer was lurking somewhere behind him, probably. The two of them were never truly far from each other.
The intruder fell heavily to his knees, confirming he surrendered. "Don't kill me. Please, oh please be merciful. For Her. I need to take care of her children. My children. I don't want them to be alone, oh please. Just bring my husband to justice. Don't even bother making him suffer, just kill him and be done with it. Don't leave him a chance, just kill him. He'll come for me. Kill him, of please kill him. Kill him before he kills me, and let me take care of my children, of please."
He couldn't see anything, couldn't know the reaction of anyone. It was silent. So completely, utterly silent. With shaking hands, he extended Jeopardy towards where he remembered God was. He felt its weight leave his hand, and he breathed of relief. He took it. He took his husband's most prized possession. He had won. He had beaten his husband. His master.
Who was lamb now? Not him, no.
He would come for him, or more likely for Jeopardy. He had won. His betrayal was not in vain. "Tell me they're alright… my children… I want to make sure they-" he stopped talking. He could no longer talk. Could no longer feel. Could no longer think.
He had been decapitated.

You bought your Cavalier because its dependability and value agreed with your nature; so why would you be okay with second best when it comes to superior quality auto parts?

Your Chevrolet dealership isn't the only place to locate the highest quality parts to repair your Cavalier.

Chapter Five, Part Three: Rabbit Heart EurythmeticMature
Her clean hands cease their dabbling with the corners of his slightly sweaty shirt; instantly, their precious little moment is lost forever as she rises from the bed, and his sense of smell leaves him, like a child off to school for the first time.
"Oh, of all the! Theta Sigma, you are the most… AGH. I'm going back to the gardens. And if you try to follow me, I'll tell Rassilon to chain you to the bed."
When she has padded softly out the way, and the door has slipped closed, the Doctor takes up a few of the thick pillows and bats at them, stuffing his fist over and over and over again in the casing full of fluffy down like the time lapse of a ricocheting bullet. Then he arranges the pillows across his lap and knees so he can lie on his stomach without juicing his displaced innards like an olive press.
A smile like delicate porcelain rests on his face as he considers his handiwork, as well as some blue flecks of paint from overhead. After wiping his eyes free of the paint chips and some sudden, unexpected hot tears, he lies down, easing himself into the wedge of pillows with his back to the chipped and peeling sky painted on the ceiling.
"I wonder," he says, holding his breath against the pillow under his cheek, "... how they're dealing with Jack in Research and Development? I did shoot him, after all."

113. My farm.
"Everything I love about Canada comes back to my home and my farm. What makes it truly Canadian is hard to describe, but I think there is so much there: the fresh water and rich soil, the great choice we have in Canada in cattle genetics that make us a world leader in breeding strong and healthy cows. And then bringing it all together into a quality standard for milk that is second to none, providing my fellow Canadians with something they can trust to give their families. – Andrew Campbell, social-media guru and dairy farmer in Southwestern Ontario
114. That we can push for things that would make us love Canada even more
I love that as Canadians we can openly choose to love and marry whoever we want.
I love that our belief in equality is not only in our Charter but deep in our DNA.
I love that health care is a right and not a privilege.
I love that we stand up for Israel even if we don't support their every decision because we recognize that it is a true and creative democracy wrestling to thrive in a brutally dangerous and complex neighbourhood.
I love that Canadian writers, musicians and creatives from all fields punch so above their weight on the world stage.
I love that we can claim as "ours" the founders of Right to Play, We Day and Free The Children – and that so many Canadians embody the spirit of giving back both at home and around the world.
I love that part of our riches include two official languages.
I love that we have the breathtakingly beautiful Trans Canada Trail – the world's longest recreational network of trails – and that in a very few years it will connect Canadians from coast to coast to coast.
I love that our brand – CANADA – is respected for all the right reasons, all over the world.
I love ( and appreciate) that I am inspired by Canadians every single day.
I would love Canada just a little bit more if...
We would get serious about climate change and do our part to protect our environment.
We would commit to making Canadian children the most literate on the planet.
We would more boldly celebrate our achievements and the things that make us so special.
For that we are.
Happy Canada Day!
– Heather Reisman, CEO Indigo
"I am a proud Canadian, proud of our history and proud of our many accomplishments both at home and abroad. It is a privilege to call Canada home.
One of the most memorable days of my life was the day two and a half years ago that I went to Rideau Hall to be invested as an Officer of the Order of Canada. I had not imagined that I would have felt such a surge of emotion for Canada when our very elegant Governor General, David Johnston, placed the ribbon and the Order around my neck and told me how proud my mother would have been, as she also had been an Officer in the Order.
My wishes for Canada on this her 147th birthday are that Canadians be encouraged to be proud of and speak proudly of their magnificent country and its heritage; that we think of ourselves as Canadians first and foremost; that we find again the courageousness of spirit so evident in our forbears; that we embrace individual responsibility and accountability; that we reject the entitlement that is so pervasive today; that we discourage dependence on the state in favour of self-reliance and an entrepreneurial spirit; and that we reject the tyranny of political correctness.
It is my wish for our great country that all Canadians demand more accountability from our political leaders; educate themselves about the challenges our country faces; and encourage the productive engines of our society in the interests of keeping our economy strong and our country more prosperous. All of us have a responsibility to enhance our proud tradition of innovativeness and courageous action.
Canada is the envy of so many. Happy Birthday Canada! May the true north strong and free be ever stronger and may its sons and daughters recommit themselves to our proud heritage of living lives of service and accomplishment, no matter what the challenges may be."Report Typo/Error

Button Battery Injuries on the Rise among ChildrenMay 16, 2012 | Parker Waichman LLP
Parents are being warned to tape up battery compartments on TV remote controls, electronic games, cameras and other household gadgets in the wake of a new study which found that the lithium "button batteries" powering such devices are sending an increasing number of children to the emergency room. The study, published in the journal Pediatrics, found that the number of battery-related emergency room visits made by children has doubled in the past 20 years, largely due to children either swallowing or lodging the batteries in their ears or nose.
According to the study, between 1990 and 2009, more than 65,000 kids under age 18 had a battery-related ER visit between 1990 and 2009. More than three-quarters of the children were ages 5 and under, and almost two-thirds were boys. In that time frame, battery-related visits jumped by four kids for every 100,000 U.S. children each year, to between seven and eight per 100,000. The vast majority of visits – more than 80% - were caused by the lithium button batteries.
When a child swallows a button battery, it may become lodged in the esophagus. This can start an electric current that burns through the tissue, leading to a whole in esophagus. Similar burns can occur if a button battery is lodged in the ear or nose. While 92 percent of battery injuries are successfully treated, the report said the remainder face an ever-increasing risk for severe internal damage. According to the Pediatrics report, it can take only a couple of hours for a child who has swallowed a button battery to burn a hole through tissue.
"For parents, the message is that if they suspect that their child has swallowed a battery they need to get to the ER right away," lead author Dr. Gary A. Smith, director of the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, told HealthDay News. "And in terms of prevention, they need to store and dispose of batteries out of reach, and also tape all battery compartments shut."
The Pediatrics report also recommended that manufacturers re-design button batteries so they are more difficult for children to access.

The Passage of TimeMature
For two days Sarah wasn't brought any food. Sometime around midday of that second day, the drugged girl had become quiet. She'd been singing odd tunes that had seemed so familiar, but Sarah hadn't been able to place them. Curling into a ball, Sarah let herself drift in and out of sleep. The flickering flames danced as if they were telling her something. Even the moaning and occasional scream from the other prisoners held a message.
Yeah, she laughed to herself and she blinked her eyes and shook her head, they're telling me to get out of here before I go crazy.
You can get through this. Jason's voice wafted over her like hot chocolate. He will not let you die. Not until he has had a chance to talk to you. Keep faith.
How did you do it? Sarah asked. You were here before and got out. How'd you survive?
You must think of that which is dearest to your heart and hold it before your eyes until it is all that you can see, he told her.
Griffon said that you told him there was a girl you wanted to see again. Sarah shivered. Did get to see her again?
Yes. Jason sent her warming and caressing thoughts. And I intend to see her again and marry her so I can show her exactly how much she means to me.
Sarah closed her eyes as they filled with tears. Oh go away, you sappy lout, she teased
Jason chuckled. I love you, Sarah.
I love you...
Sarah's thoughts stopped as someone opened her cell door.
"Get up Witch." She recognized Chester, who glared at her. "No more dungeon time for you. Apparently, you're a deadly cook. But, I wouldn't try anything. I'll be watching you like a hawk."
Sarah stood and moved towards him with more energy than she felt. "As we will you," a voice not quite her own issued from her mouth before she fainted.

Chasing Sleep
I'm not a particularly picky creature, but one thing I absolutely need is my sleep. I can wake up at the early morning witching hour, but I need at least six hours of sleep to do so; deprive me of sleep and things just go downhill.
After a week or so the good-morning beep disappeared, much to my relief, although I always worried that it would come back. I avoided saying "good morning" directly for a while, which was perfectly all right by me. I needed something to break the monotony, and conjuring alternate morning greetings helped achieve this, if only a little bit. Besides, it helped work my mind.
Speaking of my mind, even though Doc Esco had put me on some medications I wasn't sure if they were working. They always looked the same, but I didn't always react to them in the same way. Sometimes I'd feel dizzy or something after taking them, once so much I practically passed out, but unless swooning equates to sanity I didn't think they were doing their jobs. For a while, maybe a week or two, the doc kept his distance; although, I did notice him lurking more than usual. I'd catch him out of the corner of my eye at lunch, or maybe slipping from my room as I came back from supper.
"Hm," I thought aloud on one of these occasions after dinner. "Wonder what he's up to..." I shrugged, thinking little more of it, and slipped into my room, pausing only to fuss with my door a little. I always found it odd that my door's hinges never squeaked. I wasn't complaining, I just liked a vocal door at times. Glancing at the clock redly proclaiming the arrival of the nine-PM hour, I decided to turn in early that night. I performed my meager bedtime routine, then scooted into bed.
For some reason I couldn't get comfortable for the longest time, like my mind couldn't shake something. The trouble was I couldn't figure out what on earth that something was. "Eh," I decided, rolling over, "I'll figure it out."
I started drifting off, slipping deeper and deeper into Nod...
Spastically I almost threw myself to the floor. My eyes snapped open, bouncing around the darkened room like rubber balls shot from a cannon.
"What was that?!" I hissed to the darkened room. Of course, no response.
Whatever that was, it was certainly intent on knocking the sleep clean out of me.
After a minute or twenty of chasing down my breath and feebly assuring myself that nothing had happened, I tried going back to sleep...
...when the sound of a cat yowled from nowhere.
I jumped that time as well, but not nearly as badly as the gunshot... "That's what it was, wasn't it?" I kept asking myself. Frankly I wasn't really sure. But I definitely knew this was a cat. Now, I like cats, I just can't stand their yowl, it sends ice up and down my spine.
I couldn't stand it, I had to get up out of bed. As I threw off the covers the cat seemed to calm down. I paced around a bit, my body aching and longing for sleep, but every time I even looked at the bed some horrific noise came from who knows where. The window? Couldn't have been, the screeching car wouldn't have come from back there, there was no highway. The hallway? The chilling animal sounds couldn't have come from there, either.
So where'd they come from?
I slept not a wink that night, and it took its toll rather quickly. At breakfast the next morning as I sat down--or rather stumbled and collapsed in the chair--for breakfast Russell pointed out to me that it looked like I got hit by a train.
"That could explain that noise," I slurred, careful not to introduce my nose to my oatmeal.
I blinked at him. "You... Didn't hear any of it?" I asked. Russell shook his head. "But, how could you not? I mean, they were all kinda loud..."
"I don't exactly sleep like a rock, but I didn't hear anything unusual last night at all."
Hm. This didn't look good.
"Maybe you should mention it to the doc?" he suggested.
I did, about halfway through the morning. Doc Escobar poked his head into my room; I was trying to keep a safe distance from both the lying thermostat and the bed, and keeping a close but tired eye on both.
He looked from me, to the thermostat, to the bed, then back to me in slight confusion, but he managed to shake it off pretty quickly. "Are you all right, Connor?" the doctor asked, brow wrinkled in concern. I looked him over; he didn't look like he'd gotten the best of sleep, either, but I noticed it wasn't unusual for him to look tired. Any lack of sleep the previous night was probably a business-as-usual sort of lack of sleep for him, I figured.
I nodded from side to side with indecision. "Depends... I was up all last night."
"Were you?"
"Yes sir. I... er, I..." I bit my lip. "I kept hearing noises last night."
"Not just any noises: angry cats, trains, cars, gunshot in there, too."
"Those are kind of... extreme, wouldn't you say?"
"I would say they are, and from what I gather no one else heard them at all."
"Does this concern you?"
I swallowed a laugh. "Wouldn't it concern you?" I quipped, then quickly looked to the floor, slightly embarrassed for no real reason.
After a moment or two I tentatively looked up. Doc Esco had adopted a sort of troubled avuncular smile. "It would concern me, Connor, and it does." He took a moment to rub his jaw in learned thought before speaking again. "Look, why don't you come with me to my office so we can discuss some things?"
Failing to suppress a yawn I shrugged. "Sure thing, Doc, but how come not here?"
"I think you're too troubled by these surroundings to focus properly." It made some kind of sense: I could hardly trust the thermostat by this point, and as tired as I was the thought of getting anywhere near the bed repulsed me. With a nod the doctor led me out of my room and down the stairs.
I was so out of it I could barely recall making the short journey to his office. He told me to wait outside a moment, then disappeared within while I yawned in response. Either the doc was really quick with whatever it was he had to do, or it was one heck of a yawn, because he'd reappeared in the doorway by the time I regained awareness of my surroundings.
"Take a seat, Connor, never mind the mess." There could've been a five foot dandelion on a unicycle in that office and I wouldn't have taken much notice. I sleepily grunted in reply and tried not to fall asleep before I hit the chair. The doctor strode over what looked like an exploded stack of papers and eased himself in his own chair. Elbows on the desk, he surveyed me over steepled fingers.
"So, you said you were hearing noises?"

Elemental Dragons
The elements are rising and they need their guardians.
"I don't understand" I said as I blocked the sword of my master once again. "These daggers, if they just sit in the palace vault why not make use of them?"
"Because, Cethin, they are for the guardians" my master says sheathing his sword and gesturing to the drink of night juice on the table. I sit and look at my master.
"Yes but when are the guardians meant to be chosen. How are they chosen?" I say wanting to know more.
"Calm, Cethin. This is unlike you to want to know so much" my master replies after having taken a long gulp of his drink.
"Its interesting" I replying looking out into the night. "Besides I enjoy speaking to you, master"
My master smiles. "Then I will tell you this. Guardians aren't chosen. They're found. They have to be of pure heart and not want to misuse the gift of their element to harm or conflict pain on others. The stones that power the swords will appear to only them"
I take a deep breath and down my drink. "That limits out a lot of people, master" I say looking at him calmly.
"Indeed" he replies.
I look at my feet as I walk. Each step makes the ground crunch beneath my feet. I sigh and stop in a small opening. I go down on one knee and bow my head. I force my body to mold, to change and soon I feel free. My body is shadows with sharp blood red eyes, sharp teeth and claws. I attack the tree and climb up going up and round the trunk. When I reach the top I roar and its echoed by a few others.
I feel the adrenaline rushing through my veins even though right now they dont seem to exist. I am nothing but I am also everything. Powerful yet not as strong as I want to be. I growl to myself and jump my dragon body rushing towards the floor. The change happens midfall and yet, I still land on my feet but something happens.
The shadows that sound of vanished into the air cling to my skin. "What the hell?" I gasp trying to shake them off. They do but only to be replaced by shadows seeping around me. "STOP!" I scream and they do, the vanish leaving in their place a small stone.
I reach down and pick it up. "No" I whispers. "This cant be one" I'm trying to deny it but I already know. This is one of the stones. The shadow stone to the guardian dagger of my element.

Anyone pulled the trigger on stoics new down jacket, the hadron? at a claimed 8oz for the hoody (7 for the jacket) it looks like a contender. I have a couple of stoic pieces that I like, but I would like to know how much of that 8oz is fabric/down.
ps- its not THAT ugly… :POct 6, 2011 at 7:29 am #1787326

I've been looking at the same think; was on SAC yesterday sometime for less than $100, which made it a pretty good deal. I've got a 7-oz Montbell with 2-oz of down in it that works very well, so I'm not in the market right now, but it's still tempting to try it out — I like the anorak style.
Women's colors are better — I had considered getting the gray anorak for her that Stoic just released, but she's already got a Stoic Down Sweater, which fits her very well, though it's heavier, at just under 11oz.
If anyone bites on the Hadron, I'd love to hear impressions. If it's like all the other Stoic/BC stuff, sometime in the next year these will be available for 50%+ off, which could make them a killer deal.Oct 6, 2011 at 7:29 am #1787327

@brendansLocale: Fruita CO
the anorak has been on steep and cheap recently for $99 IIRC. Stuff usually reappears on there so keep yr eyes peeled.
edit: Tim beat me to the punch…Oct 6, 2011 at 9:19 am #1787344
The colors are so darn ugly why couldn't they just make black or grey?

@johnnyh88Locale: The SouthWest
I saw this on Steep and Cheap yesterday for $94. If I was in the market for a jacket, I think I could look ugly in the woods for that price. 7oz for a large, pockets for my hands, no useless zipper? Sounds good to me. I have some Stoic underwear and their Wrath windshirt – both are great quality.
Also, some one already posted a question on Backcountry.com about the fill weight of the jacket so maybe that will get answered soon. I don't think it's THAT ugly, but maybe Stoic is doing a social experiment to see what colors people will put up with for a lightweight down jacket that can be had for cheap? At the very least, they definitely should have just made a black or gray option though…Oct 6, 2011 at 11:08 am #1787372

I got the ugly Purple whatever "Vintage" yesterday on SAC. I choose to combine the shipping so I'll let everyone know how it works out. I have the UL Down Inner Montbell Jacket, but thought this one might be a little warmer with more down. I'll let you know.

My theory is they must have gotten a great deal somewhere on fabric colors no one else wanted. Same with zippers and trim. On the upside (for them), in my experience, the ultralight crowd that it looks like these were designed for is not known for having much fashion sense … or rather, they are known for ignoring fashion: function, always, over form, for most ultralighters.Oct 10, 2011 at 8:04 pm #1788984

The Anorak is currently on SAC for $99.99 with a grey color option. I just bit the bullet. This will cut the weight of my current insulating layer in half. Nice.Oct 12, 2011 at 10:20 am #1789578

And one that actually reviews the jacket instead of the pictures…
"Just got this baby out of the box, so these impressions are from walking around the house.
First off props to the bag it came in: made completely out of corn. It was tasty, after I added salt and butter.
The jacket is very light, as you might have guessed from the specs. When I first put it on I freaked a bit when I saw so much light through the fabric. But after fluffing it up and redistributing the down a touch it looked much better. The color, which my sister laughed at when I showed her the jacket online, looks fine in person and got my sister's stamp of approval. She even tried to steal it from me. Thankfully she weighs about 100lbs and my medium fit her like a burlap sack.
Which brings me to fit. I'm 6'0" and about 152. Jacket fits great. A little baggy around the chest with just a shirt underneath, but the wrist and waist seals keep the warm air in. With the hood on and the buttons buttoned (which makes a great seal as well) I could immediately feel the heat starting to build up. Taking 2 selfies in the mirror was about all I could handle in the 72 degree weather over here.
The hand pocket is nice. Full insulation on the part of the jacket that's under the pocket, and the pocket itself is lightly insulated. I packed the jacket in there, and it is indeed a serviceable camp pillow. Haven't tried but pretty sure you could get the whole jacket inside a Nalgene.
Great first impression, super happy I picked it up from SaC."Oct 12, 2011 at 10:25 am #1789581
I just ordered one, and plan on comparing it to a Montbell UL inner Parka, which I believe is it's closest competition. The Hardron looks promising though. Comparable down fill by weight, but higher quality down, and lighter overall. Now, whether or not the color is actually bearable…I'll only know upon unboxingOct 12, 2011 at 10:51 am #1789593
I ordered one as well in the gray. I wanted something sub 10 oz with a hood to complement my Rab Infinity Endurance. I initially ordered a small, since I'm a small in everything, but then noticed their weird sizing chart and ordered a medium as well. I cancelled the small so I hope the medium fits like their chart indicates.Oct 12, 2011 at 11:04 am #1789597
Chris, I didn't even check the size chart, because like you, I'm always a small.
Sizing looks bizarre according to their chart…everything looks like it's downsized by 1 size. I won't be getting mine for a while since I choose to hold off shipping for a week (using their combined shipping option). Please update us on fit. ThanksOct 12, 2011 at 6:48 pm #1789787
Will do. I expect it'll show up around Saturday. I have a sneaky feeling I'll be sending it back for a small though.Oct 12, 2011 at 8:59 pm #1789841

@pillowthreadLocale: like, in my head???
…on SAC for about 20 minutes, from 9:35 to 9:54pm mountain time. It ended about four minutes early, even though they are far from selling out…perhaps they sold a bunch in that short time and pulled it early to build more desire/get more people to buy it from Backcountry?
Anyways, I sniped one in the Grey outer/Purple inner color combination, size medium. I too am interested to see how the sizing works out, as the chart did seem to be shifted a bit from the normal ranges…Oct 14, 2011 at 4:11 pm #1790635
Matt AllenBPL Member
I have to say… I am pleasantly surprised.
Got the green hoody in medium, and the color is not as ugly as it looks. It is actually a little darker than it shows online.
It has a real nice hand to it… (pertex quantum)
Medium weighs in at 7.4 oz for me.
The hood fits great once all the buttons are done up. That is good, because it doesn't have any toggles to adjust it.Oct 14, 2011 at 8:26 pm #1790753
Matt, did the medium fit true to size or smaller? ThanksOct 17, 2011 at 12:54 pm #1791654
Mine came today. I'm 5'8 and 135 lbs and wound up getting the medium after checking the sizing chart. IMO, the medium fits me ok. If I flatten it against my torso, I probably have 2 or more inches on either side and the upper arms are way oversized. When I do have it on though, it doesn't appear overly baggy in the torso. I'm not sure how a small would fit and the medium leaves room for some layering underneath so I'll probably keep it. Hard to beat for the price. My digital scale puts it at 7.4 oz.

Me in Small Rab Infinity Edurance

I jumped on it when it popped up on sac im going to be comparing it to a down inner parka I got a small I'm 5.8 and 130 so we will see how it fits hope it's warmer then my down inner if not I'm selling both and going myogNov 3, 2011 at 12:21 pm #1798249

@djrez4Locale: Rocky Mountains
I just received my Stoic Hadron Anorak today, size – large, color – Excalibur/Vintage.
First of all, the value on SAC is ridiculous. I am replacing a Western Mountaineering Flash jacket with this and after the SAC discount, it's less than half the price. It weighs 7 7/8 oz, with the tags still attached, in a large. As much as I like supporting small American manufacturers, I just couldn't pass up the Hadron.
I'm 5'10" and weigh 195-200, depending on the day, 42" chest, 34" jeans. The large, which Stoic specs at 38.8-41.6in chest size, actually has a lot of room for me in the chest and torso area. I think this will be ok, because the extra dead air will add to the insulation value and allow for a midweight layer underneath on extra cold days. I spoke with a BC rep online last night who mentioned that Stoic had adjusted sizing for the Hadron line – the large Hadron is the same chest size as a medium in other Stoic jackets. That said, I probably could go with a medium, if I really wanted, and haven't decided yet. The sleeves are spot-on. I usually take a 34" sleeve in dress shirts and the sleeves on the Hadron, which Stoic says are 34.4" long, are long enough that they don't ride up beyond the wrist when I raise my arms. Yes, the cuffs are a bit tight, but not overly so, and I don't think they'll be an issue.
As a direct comparison to the WM Flash, the Hadron is certainly up to snuff. I like having the drawstring bottom, which the Flash lacks. The Flash scores points on having the perfect elastic around the hood to seal in warmth around the face, and an extra ounce of fill. (WM says 3oz average, Stoic says 2oz) The two coats are made of the same Pertex Quantum, so fabric weight should be similar.
I'm having them send me a medium as well to compare.Nov 3, 2011 at 2:35 pm #1798278
Colin KrusorBPL Member
@ckrusorLocale: Northwest US
I have concerns about the loose hood opening on the Hadron. There seems to be a lot of open space around the face in the photos I've seen. I guess an MYOG drawstring would take care of that.Nov 3, 2011 at 2:40 pm #1798279
IMO, at the temps the jacket will be good to a hood isn't even necessary. A thin wool beanie is probably enough for most people, so the lack of a tight fit doesn't concern me.Nov 3, 2011 at 11:45 pm #1798438
Got it today first impresions. This thing is awesome I got the Excalibur/ vintage and it looks nice no down sided I could see the hood opining is good size for what it is. It is slightly loftier then my down inner and weighs 6.6 ounces in small compared to 7.5 for my down inner parka. The fit is good a little baggier then the down inner. Over all it's a awesome jacket I'm very pleased with it

10 ways to save money on youth sports expenses
It is not uncommon for parents to spend $2,000 or more per year on youth sports. Team fees, camps, lessons, team travel, equipment – it all adds up quickly.
If your child's sports-related expenses are consuming too big of a bite out your budget, here are five ways to save:
1. Opt for group lessons
If your child participates in an individual sport such as tennis, horseback riding, golf or ice-skating, you're probably forking over big bucks for private lessons. Instead of private lessons, consider enrolling your child in group sessions. Even sports instruction with a small group of students, costs considerably less than private lessons. You could also reduce private lessons from daily to three times a week. Speak with the instructor about your desire to cut cost, but keep your child in the program. Often times, instructors will offer individual attention to kids during a group session.
2. Carpool
Share transportation expenses with other families. Besides saving on gas, this can also save you time that can be spent working or tackling household chores. Make sure any carpool arrangement is consistent and equitable.
3. Buy and sell used equipment
Opting for used equipment can cut cost in half. Craigslist, Ebay, and sites such as Swapmesports.com, offer used sporting goods in like-new condition for a fraction of the cost. Play it Again Sports, a used sporting goods store, sells and buys everything from baseball gloves to football cleats. Consider selling your used items to offset the cost of new equipment.
4. Pick one sport at a time
If you have more than one child participating in multiple sports or activities, cost can skyrocket. Taking ballet lessons compliments gymnastics. However, if you can only afford one, encourage your child to choose. If a child wants to play more than one sport, restrict participation to one sport per season.
5. Drive by the drive-thrus
Often, in an effort to get to practice or games on time, parents use fast-food drive thrus. Eating out, even at fast-food restaurants, is a budget killer. Four "extra-value meals" can cost more than $35. That same $35 could purchase ingredients for a week's worth of lunches. Pack lunch or snack bags the night before. A loaf of bread, smoked turkey and easy to eat fruits such as grapes, oranges or bananas are less expensive than fast food and more nutritious. Even if you cut your drive-thru purchases in half, you're looking at significant savings.
6. Take care of the equipment
Use this as an opportunity to help reinforce responsibility with your kids. Items left out in the rain, or not properly cleaned and conditioned after each use will lead to quicker deterioration, wear, and tear.
7. Register early
Many teams offer discounts if you register your child early. Discounts can be anywhere from $5-$20. Cha-ching!
8. Join the team
If you have a good sense of how to create a budget, consider joining the team's finance committee or board. Being able to recognize where and when savings can be made can not only help cut costs for you personally, but the entire roster can benefit. Money saved can either be refunded to parents, or put towards the cost of an end-of-season party.
9. Make your own sports drink
A case (24 pack of 20 oz bottles) of Gatorade costs about $33.00 and a case of Powerade costs around $38.00. If you have one or more kids playing sports, you're buying at least one case a month. Save big bucks - at least $400 annually - by making your own electrolyte sports drink. Get the recipes on our Pinterest page.
10. Lighten up
Let's face it, many kids aren't going to be collegiate or olympic athletes. For those that just don't seem to have the desire or athletic ability, look into free sports classes or teams in your community. There will be less pressure on your child and a lower strian on your wallet.

Chapter I - "Wave Of Memories" Part 1Mature
I ran away from the white building ignoring all the questioning looks. I could feel my heart pounding hard against my chest, heart filled with fear. Even the weather was reflecting my mood; it was pouring it down with rain. I didn't mind though. Why should I?
My life is over anyway. But this cannot be happening to me!
I did put my hand in a fist, trying to overcome my emotions. And then something did hit me, even harder that doctor's words. I sat on the bench, not caring about few small puddles reflecting my reflection. Closing my eyes, the reality did hit me leaving me breathless.
Natalie. How I will tell the love of my life that she will need to say final goodbye to me?
The memories did hit me as a wave, crashing the walls of hope with no mercy.
They were both sitting on the bonnet of his car. The yellow sun was slowly coming down, shining a bunch of colours. He looked at her long, black hair covering her face. Not to build any suspicions, he moved his hands slowly towards her waist. Without any warning, Natalie felt his hand tickling her side and then she heard herself laughing loudly.
"Sto… stop it!" – she yelled, tears all over her face because of laughter. Suddenly, there was a loud bang when Natalie, by mistake, kicked Will of the car.
"Oh my God, are you okay?" – he appeared slowly again.
"Yeah, I will just buy new kidney and I always have few ribs spare." – he couldn't hold serious look on his face and they both started giggling like little kids. Without any warning, he sat on her waist, trying to tickle her again. Their hands met in mid air and time froze with a touch of her perfect skin with his hand. Everything went silent as they looked into each other's eyes. She was looking so beautiful with a cascade of her hair on the bonnet. Slowly, his head moved towards her. Natalie's heart started going crazy when she felt his hot breath on her face, his closeness was making her shiver. The most magic moment happened, their lips meet in a first, innocent kiss. He kissed her slowly, as if it would all appear to be a dream after it would end. His lips touched hers gently, asking how she was feeling about it and if he should carry it on. She closed her eyes, making the feeling take her totally over. She was in another world, with him, with their dreams. Their souls hug even tighter when the kiss deepen slowly. He took her face in his hands, feeling happy as never before. She ran fingers through his hair and then she heard those three most important words when Will stop kissing her for short moment before continuing for the first time, to explore their wonderland together.
"I love you" – he said, never meaning anything more than those three words at the time. She smiled softly at him, the smile she only got for him.
"I love you too." – that was their first kiss.
