18 Part 2
Anna smashed the little camera, not pausing to think. She knew there were more – there was no danger of not having any to use for reversing the signal. But the next one she would leave intact, in case.
"How many do you think there are?" she called to Matt, who shrugged.
"I don't know," he replied. "Anything between two and twenty, I'd guess, but probably not more." Anna nodded – that seemed likely. She spotted the gleam of light on something metallic over to her left and quickly took a closer look, without coming into range of the lens. Yes, it was a camera.
"Leave that one!" she called, and Matt looked around, following her point finger.
"Don't you think they'll hear me?" she added suddenly, realising how loudly she was shouting, but her friend shook his head, his dark hair falling from side to side. Anna's heart missed a beat.
"No, the Celryn's cameras have no sound," he said. Anna wondered why Matt was so confident, but remembered his past and decided to believe him. He had found another one, anyway, and she watched, smiling slightly, as it became so much broken glass under his strong fingers.
It took them about two hours to be absolutely certain they had all of the cameras. The snow fell all the while, and soon was crunching at about shin-height under their tired feet. Anna wished that it had fallen under different circumstances – at a time when she would have had nothing better to do than enjoy the time of school by messing around in the snow with her friends. And at a time when it wouldn't have mattered how cold she got, because her foster parents would be there with a cup of hot chocolate to warm her…
Her parents. Anna's fire suddenly went out, her skin screaming in protest as it was exposed to the cold winter air. She tried to re-light the flames but it took several tries and she realised that this was her weakness. Matt saw her expression as the cold hit and ran over to help, but she shook him off.
"I'm fine," she whispered, her voice weak with the bitter wind. "At least, I will be in a moment." This was the truth, for only a minute or two later she got the fire going again and felt as warm as she would if she were inside, leaning against a radiator.
"Useful, the fairy thing," said Matt, laughing. "You'd freeze if you couldn't use your powers." Anna agreed, but she wasn't about to say that, not when she needed her strength for this final task. She reached over the edge of the flowerbed, trying to lift the camera without it doing.
The camera was smooth and shiny beneath her fingers. So far, she had crushed the cameras where they were, not picked them up. Anna realised now that they were not glass, but some unearthly substance with many of the same properties. She cupped it carefully in her hand, all the while keeping it pointed at the sky. Then, turning it ever so slightly, she pulled out a single wire from the back. There was a small hiss, and tiny red light that she hadn't even noticed went out.
"I've deactivated the camera!" she shouted, and Matt gave her a thumbs-up. Together they made their way back indoors, stamping the snow of their shoes and their trousers.
Anna took a wire from the pot on the shelf. The end would need altering, but she knew what to do.
She twisted one of the camera wires around the end of the phone – for that was what this particular wire was for – cable, and poked one end through a small hole. All being well, it should now make contact with the circuits. Then she plugged the other end into Matt's laptop, and waited.
"New Hardware," the computer beeped, and she smiled and laughed, relieved. Matt looked at her proudly.
"Well done," he whispered.

Secure home would make me smile after reading this article it makes me sick. There is no such thing as homelessness in Canada and they take way more refugees. There is way to much fraud and waste by those in charge of Vermont and you can start in any of the State departments only to find bonus and incentives giving to those in authority of watching Vermont's money and I have had some audited and changes were made but they found another way to pad their pockets in this instance but I feel like those lockers are a kind and helpful jester however the streets are cold and dark and offer no safety and while I was out there for 2 Years in Burlington the town that I was born and raised in I looked around and saw mainly locals living on the streets while foreigners and refugees occupied the lower income houses that were federal and state funded as affordable housing! I think there is a lot more that can be done even if it costs because in the end these are my brothers and sisters not matter what we need to look after and help other Vermonters first and then if there are extras give to others as I am tired of seeing all my friends and family that I grew up with as a kid living outside in their own HOMETOWN while strangers to Vermont are in an apartment that was funded by Vermonters that should be lived in by the locals. I am for tiny apartments instead of lockers the Salvation Army land would suffice and the ones that live in the tiny apartments could host the meals greatful that they have a roof!
This article is so bizarre and badly written
The title says its about the ouster of the head of the BHA and the article starts out about this topic then mid-way through she starts writing about the killing of a mentally ill BHA resident and related issues. At the end, she seems to remember what the piece is supposed to be about wtf?
Where is the editor on this? It reads like Molly ran out of gas on the story she was suppose to cover. I kept waiting for the transition back to the topic of the piece and it came a little before the end as she awoke from her auto pilot about mental health of the residents. Wish she had actually continued with the piece she was assigned maybe that was too hard - it required digging into why the head was fired, the cost of the search, the long entrenched employees, the difficulties long time people face dealing with a new boss, what exactly he did to get himself fired etc. I suppose it was much easier to re-hash a boringly long digression on the mental health of the residents- they should re-title this to show that about half of the piece (everything below the second photo) is about a different topic. where was the editor?
Good idea to hold January meeting of the Alliance at Salvation Army -- a lunch meeting. Suggest they mix with people during lunch and meet after.
Katie's article has been praised to me and the work I do has acquired a new standing. I have been recognized and shown more respect. For this I cannot complain.
But the article left out the entire reason I contacted Seven Days. I want the community to know that when I voted, the registration I had submitted to the city used my camp address as my physical address. A comment to me on Facebook informed me that approving homeless people in this way is common and supported by the City. So I am not the first or the last, but I didn't know it could be done and the homeless in general do not know. I intended to set an example, and that is what I want Seven Days to tell the world. The homeless are members of the community, and the homeless are dignified, by the right to vote, in our community.
Of the numerous details which were off-mark, in Katie's article, that one which troubled me implied that I had lost my marriage due to a domestic assault. I am deeply ashamed of what I did, and more ashamed by the suggestion that I was so abusive that my wife left me. But no, the marriage had already ended, and the mistake in reporting doesn't convey the pain on both sides, that I was trying to escape that relationship, or that I did not have the egregious intent to control or terrorize my partner, usually associated with violence, all of which I abhor. I offered to Katie that I had had this conviction, knowing that it is an important point in my life, and an important story for me to tell, not expecting I would have to rebut a casual and wrong inference. Katie, please be more careful.
I camped with Stephen. I am proud to call him a friend!!
It's not true that Stephen came here as a transient in 2008. He and I were in a relationship and we moved to Ferrisburgh together in 2007. We moved together to Burlington in 2009 and lived together until mid 2012 in an apartment. We were not homeless during that time. His housing became more precarious after I moved out in spring of 2012.
I know this is an old article and that my post is well past prime time, but as a member of the furry community I have to point out one of the comments that was made about Furries "not being performers" and that they do not "add to the VIBE of the city" is just totally a bunch of crap. First off I would like that person to put one of these suits on and try it out, then tell me it is not a performance. Secondly, I dare that person to contact the City of Pittsburgh, PA and ask them about the furries and their impact on the city! Ask the city of Pittsburgh if they are pleased with the nearly $7 million that Anthrocon pulls into the cities local economy each year. Ask the city if its citizens enjoy the fursuit parade that has now been opened to public that has the potential to draw even more dollars into the economy each year. Pittsburgh has itself a gold mine with Anthrocon and would be foolish to give it up (although I don't think that would ever happen now).
Way to go Charlie and Christine! I grew up at the mouth of the river. Spent every summer at the boathouse with my brothers, cousins and friends. Mr. & Mrs. Auer were the sweetest couple. They loved all the kids that hung around. I'm so happy that Charlie and Christine are still running it. I will stop to see them on my next visit to Vermont!
Fantastic idea and story. Would love to paint there to support them. Let us know when the next time is. Thank you. Jennie Kristel
Thanks so much for a sweet, tender, and delightful story about Charlie's Boathouse! Yes, it will take a community effort to save such a treasure. I'll be interviewing Charlie next week for StoryCorps. Can't wait!
The author seems very keen to associate the police with the community. Community is in the eye of the beholder. Since "community" has more in common with artwork than policing, might you consider rebranding the police to the Burlington Cezanne Police Department, or the Shelburne Da Vinci Police, or Hinesburg Picasso Police, or Colchester Matisse Police (I like it), and Winooski Rembrandt Police? The officers uniforms could be made from duplicate canvas from famous paintings. Really, I would just like the police to be the police!
I believe you forgot to mention that Brandon del Pozo wrote a scholarly paper enthusiastically supporting racial profiling by police. In that paper he also defended "Stop and Frisk" tactics. He has a long way to go before he earns the trust of our community. Here is the link to his paper https://lr.law.qut.edu.au/article/view/77/….
"Later, the NYPD sent him to the Middle East as part of a terrorism intelligence-gathering unit. Based in Amman, Jordan" which was illegal and racist.
A man who supports racial profiling as police chief? Bad idea.
This is what used to be called a "puff" piece.
Completely agree with you Laura Hale. Yet another article about the Chief of Police in which he still does not tackle what he is willing to do to address the facts that there is proven data of extreme racial profiling in Vermont. With a Mayor that has 2 black children I hope that the Mayor will encourage the Chief to bring up these tough issues and what he plans to do to address the racism within his department. Time for the tough questions, and tougher answers.
In 11 months del Pozo has:
-unnecessarily wounded one man
-unnecessarily murdered two men
-bungled the KKK leaflet issue
-arrested two men wearing Anonymous masks at a BLM demonstration
-failed to alert Burlington women after an alleged rape at the downtown courthouse
-forced the shutdown of hip-hop acts and then the Zen Lounge itself by pressuring zoning board
-wages war on the poor and homeless on behalf of Weinberger's classist/racist gentrification
This was a morally despicable puff piece. Fire this "erudite" thug
How about putting those repeat offenders on the clean up detail in Burlington Square. Don't pay a fine or incarcerate, take their boredom away with a job in public
I appreciate this thorough and thoughtful article on the chief. I would have loved to have heard comments from the local Black Lives Matters organizers, though, and the Champlain Area NAACP. Maybe they can weigh in?
I thought that Mr. Spencer's comment "Those willing to pay more should have an easier time finding spots in the downtown core, while the frugally minded can find plenty of cheaper spots..." was offensive on a couple of levels. Does "frugally minded" refer to the VT-discounted wages of those of us who are in positions that have not kept up with inflation while food, entertainment and all of life's other expenses have? Or who supposedly moved here and took a wage cut to enjoy the "quality of life"? Many hard working and overeducated Vermonters do not earn enough to throw away any extra money, even to the tune of $0.50/hour or after 6pm. There is an insensitivity to those who work and live here year 'round to make the city and the region great who feel discounted by these new policies. As Councilor Wright described it, that feeling of being "ding-ed" enough.
I work downtown and pay to park three times a week. It's nice to not have to worry about it on Sundays or after six (I work til 10). Also they're going to tear down my lot on King and St. Paul soon and then where will I park? I understand the need for income for the city, but can't they find it somewhere else? Does it have to come from quarters and dimes? Maybe they could enforce a few more traffic laws and the fines from that could go toward the garages?
Tiki makes a very good point. "Free parking" is paid for by everyone, even the people who don't own cars or seldom drive downtown. This is unfair to them and it contributes to the parking problems downtown. If we subsidize something it should be the bus system which serves everyone and actually contributes to solving the parking problem.

Braggart Offices
Oskar struggled manfully with his meal, having been brought up never to waste food. Somewhere after the second mouthful it had lost any flavour to him, and by the fifth it was like eating wallpaper paste. Andi, contrastingly, clearly enjoyed her meal. She offered the dessert menu to Oskar, who rejected it for fear of finding the only potato soufflé in there, and waved away any suggestion that she might eat dessert herself.
"We'll take my car back to the office," she said. "You can have one of the juniors come back and collect yours. That is, if they all don't consider it too much effort and not worth their time?"
"I walked," said Dr. Crepidarian, "so I doubt it will be a problem. Look Andi, I don't like this any more than you do, but it seems that the world is changing, and we must change with it. You can't force a man to work."
"Of course you can," said Andi. "It's just that slavery's illegal now."
Mondegreen's had a narrow elevator, panelled with thin vertical strips of alternating woods, that descended to a private underground carpark. The black and white carpet had a stark geometric design of concentric circles that pulled the eye inwards, and the overall effect was to make travellers feel like they were being stretched, becoming very long and thin. Andi barely noticed it, but Oskar, not helped by his potato-rich meal, was feeling slightly nauseous when they stepped out. The car-park was small, and Andi's car was the only Phaeton in there. Its suede convertible roof was the colour of kidskin gloves and the long black bodywork with red trim was lustrous even in the gloom.
"Inside, or on the running board?" said Andi, a wicked smile dancing about her lips.
"You said you walked here, presumably for the good of your health, so if you wish to ride back on the running board, dear Oskar, I'd not be at all surprised."
"Inside will be fine, Andi, thank-you. After all, you will be driving."
Andi's smiled vanished briefly as she was surprised by Dr. Crepidarian's comeback, but then thoughts of driving took over and she allowed his words to be forgotten. Driving a car was actually less fun than driving a locomotive, in her opinion: there was too much extra thinking to do, and you didn't have the feeling of power that several tonnes of steel gave you. However, cars were more versatile, and there was a certain amount of pleasure she could obtain from honking the horn and making people jump out of her way, though she noticed peripherally that Oskar seemed to jump almost as much as the pedestrians.
Braggart offices were a few blocks away from Mondegreen's and had Andi come from the office she too would probably have chosen to walk. She found that watching the world around her, how people moved and interacted with each other, very informative. She stopped the car at the kerb, and Dr. Crepidarian was out so fast that her hair was ruffled by the breeze he created.
"The soup!" he croaked, bent double and barrelling towards the doors of the offices.
Andi let Timothy, one of the doormen, take the car to the parking garage, and walked in. She looked around the lobby, a fantasy in soft wood and hard chrome, and found the Superintendent with a watering can in his hand checking the decorative ferns that bracketed the lift doors.
"Zachary," she said, trying not to sound too stern. "Where is Michael?"
"Dead, miss."
"Dead? Is there nothing people won't do to avoid work?"

Vestina Zorloft - Priestess' ApprenticeMature
I secretively watched the exchange between my master and friend. Axelle had so much grace and beauty- she was the perfect example of who a Priestess should be and I envied her despite our closeness. Even though she had three years above me, I felt jealous that Shantia gave her the most honored tasks and even a bit of freedom to practice our crafts on her own. It seemed I spent most of my days hovered in this corner working on prayer memorization instead of dancing through the brooks and practicing my true talents.
"Vestina?" Shantia had been watching me as I was carelessly still focused on the door through which Axelle had passed many moments ago. "Vestina, if you have not memorized those pages before we leave for market, you will miss it yet again."
My mood began to turn to a surly disdain and I could not even focus on the books which I should have finished studying nearly a year ago in my apprenticeship. Murmuring that I needed to relieve myself, I pulled my shawl down further over my eyes and slipped quickly outside. I had a confidence to my step that Shantia did not believe to yet be grace, but I knew that I could dance beautifully if I only had the chance to leave those prayer books behind.
Dedication to the spirit of water through dancing was much more to my liking than the prayers and rote scripts could convey. Of course, after my years with the wise Shantia, I understood the importance of these things. But I did not care to speak much, and when put on the spot, I could only stare and stutter portions of the verse. With this on my mind, I had made my way swiftly to the tree outside our hut where a sweet songbird was still singing her melody for us, and from the rain barrel a few yards away, I quickly pulled a stream of water through the air with the intention of feeding the bird's young family.
Frustration coursed through me as the stream splattered and fell among the leaves before reaching the carefully crafted nest . I jerked off my head covering and huffed, knowing that my eyes must be flashing in my anger.
Why could I not control the water? I knew that I must focus more, and Shantia would say that I am not reverent and focused on my prayers specifically. Perhaps it was also the passion that I must learn to use to my benefit instead of allowing to get the better of me. It was only when I danced that I felt soothed and relaxed. But not even Axelle knew how much I had memorized and practiced. After all, I was to know my prayers first and foremost.
Already beginning to calm down as I rationalized my inadequacies, I replaced the cover to hide my lack of hair and headed back to the hut just as Axelle appeared on the path coming from the stream. I smiled, thinking how magnificent she would look in her ceremonial dress during market.

So that's the secret weight loss trick you have all been searcing for.
You wanna stay skinny? Stay the heck away from Instagram.
1. My latest and greatest obsession--Cheerfully Charmed. Their necklaces are just so..charming ;)
3. Just a pile of spaghetti noodles that decided to jump out at me one fine Friday morning and yell "Suuuurrrrppriisseee!" I just have the sweetest noodles living in my house.
4. 52 degree mornings. I dig those as well.
5. My most commonly assumed position. Wine in hand. Check. Phone in front of face. Check. Laptop on lap. Check.
6. I felt like I struck gold when I saw this display. I am in love with paper towels. No but really--they are my one true love. My shirt says so.
7. You want some good mac and cheese? Buy Kraft's Homestyle mac and cheese. It's as fattening and delicious as it looks.
8. You want a quick and easy way to start the love making process in your house?
Buy this and add some rum. Done and Done. You're welcome.
9. Baked Edamame. Aka the best thing you could put in your body. Just buy some Edamame beans--drizzle olive oil, Parmesan cheese, and salt & pepper over them, bake for 15 minutes at 350 and
waaa-la. You've got yourself a healthy little side dish folks.
10. Me. After a head scratch. I would be totally fine if this is how I always looked if it meant I was always getting a head scratch.
11. Showing off my jewels that little miss Brie made for me. Yes. She made that beautiful thing.
Now I don't know what's cuter. Her or the necklace?
12. Oh you know--just dominating 20 miles on a bike bath. NBD.
13. The view from our patio one morning. I was pretty confident they were having an emergency landing..turns out they were just getting started.
14. I should probably go necklace shopping.
15. My favorite position. On the back of a motorcycle baby.
16. Last but not least--If I'm going to get fat...you are too. Suckers.

I had brought 2 warranties from US Fidelis. The first for my wife. That was for her Jeep. She had so many problems with US Fidelis that she bought another vehicle. then made a complaint with then BBB. With their help her contact was canceled and some funds returned. Now I was second insured. I had transmission noise. So I was traveling to MS and my transmission was slipping. So I when to a shop in Vicksburg Ms. They contacted US Fidelis claims dept. Then the waiting began. Thursday 9a.m I was told to gather up my schedule maintenace records then shop would fax to them. Well shop spent hours calling and faxing at 430 p.m and 5 phone calls. I was told that I was missing 1 maintence record and without that they would decline to cover anything. I complained that it was my transmision not my engine, but it didn't make any differance.
Friday I recalled were I did my missing oil change. I was stationed near Boliing AF Base in Va. Their auto skill shop faxed me my missing oil change. I then when back to shop 9:00 am. They faxed missing sheet 3 times. At 4:45 I called and transmission was approved pending what mechanic sent as estimate. My vehice was schedule to be worked on Monday. Suprise came that afternoon. Us Fidelis was only covering $1700. and total was $2161. I was to cover balance. I signed up for no deductable. Yet I had too pay. I was to pay $461 Now I'm not from this area and I took 2 days off from work @ 160 per day and 2 motels at $45, a day. I called US Fidelis and made complaint. I was informned the they only pay fair market value for what my vechicle worth. I was not offered those extra's that the commercials says. I was also told that I can't use warranty anymore. I feel that I was ripoff. It present my transmission service cost me $461 + 320+ 90 = $871 plus cost of policy each month. The commerical says you pay nothing. I plan to cancel this policy. Since they won't cover anything else. I will make a complaint with BBB too.

Battle in the BathroomMature
March 25th, 2018. 12:32
Linton rubbed her eyes in exhaustion, slightly smearing her already ruined eye make-up. By now she probably looked like a grumpy raccoon.
"God, I'm so tired," she grumbled, clicking on the umpteenth file. Miss Williams was getting more and more difficult to track, even considering she's never left LA in the three years she's been rogue. The description Heathcliff had given her of the man who jumped with her wasn't enough to pinpoint any specific person in all of LA. She called the restaurant they were in front of, and suspected a few couples that had reservations, but she had yet to go onto those leads.
"She's only making this harder for herself," Linton grumbled, sipping her nearly cold coffee. She buzzed for an intern to bring her another, along with some aspirin.
April 16th, 2018. 10:43
She rustled her hair into a presentable position, her messy bangs curling slightly over her tall forehead. Dani sat cross legged on the chair next to the bed, her bag in her lap.
Dani pursed her lips and huffed. He sure is taking a while in there. She stood and knocked with one knuckle on the door.
"Are you having a baby or something? Hurry your ass up." Suddenly, the water in the shower was running and Dani heard the swish of the shower curtain, along with Joe's grumblings and curses.
"Good," she muttered, returning to the chair.
An odd noise was really starting to get on her nerves. At first she just brushed it off as one of those quirks often found in hotels, but it was making Danika uneasy now. Deciding to do a thorough search of the room, Dani set her bag strap across her shoulder, letting it rest on her hip, on the opposite side of her gun.
She noticed the phone was slightly off the hook. Dani's heart raced as she quickly slammed it on the receiver. The noise stopped. Bastard! Dani ran to the bathroom door and kicked it open, finding Joe still fully dressed.
"Prick!" she yelled, reaching for her gun. Joe, quite ungracefully, yanked the shower curtain pole from the walls. Ducking as he swung it at her head, she dived for his middle, knocking them both into the bathtub. He grunted, taking the bulk of the impact. One of Dani's arms was stuck underneath his body, pinned to the tub's bottom.
Joe took this chance and started kicking his legs at her. Dani could hear police sirens nearing the hotel.
"Get away from me, you crazy bitch!" he yelled, trying his best to hit her with the shower rod. Dani dodged as best she could in her unfortunate position. He whacked her on the shoulder, and she cried out as a tingling sensation crawled up her neck.
April 4th, 2018. 14:54.
Chunks of ceramic tub, and pieces of granite from the sink scattered around the small washroom. A piece cut Danika's cheek, leaving a stark red line across her skin. Joe's body shook with pain from the jump. He retched all over the tile floor. Dani forced herself up and stepped out of the ruined tub, massaging her shoulder. A Hispanic couple opened the bathroom door and began to yell in Spanish. Dani couldn't understand them, but she got their meaning. Their faces were panicked and confused. Regretting ever saving the man, she pulled her gun from its holster and pointed it at the couple. They screamed, and held each other, but didn't move.
Dani pulled a nearly unconscious Joe's arm around her good shoulder. The two were happy to see them go, but they would undoubtedly call the police.
Dani returned her gun to her hip once in the hallway, and hurried out a back door and turned down the next alley, Joe dragging his feet. Danika set him down roughly.
"What-" he gasped, holding his ribs, letting his head sag down onto his chest. Danika could see him struggle to stay conscious.
"Listen, asshole," Dani crouched down to his level, making his eyes focus on her as she grabbed his hair and lifted his head, "You're only alive because of this." Her hand blindly searched her bag, and pulled out a syringe filled with dark green liquid. Danika waved it in front of his dazed face as she continued.
"I don't know what's in it, but it works. It makes your body adapt to the time jumps," Dani put it back in her bag, "This also my last one, so you should feel pretty lucky I used one on you." She led go of his hair as he coughed. Dani looked up, squinted at the sun and ran her fingers through her hair.
"Some food would do us some good, I suppose."

Obtaining the wisdom of those who came before us was not always easy to accomplish. Historically most people were unable to read and write. In very ancient times tablets of stone were interpreted by a powerful few who often had their own agenda. The result was usually rules rather than principles, and most people had little knowledge or power.
Now we have various electronic media that affords most of us the opportunity to see or hear the wisdom of the most wise at our own convenience. But curiously we often ignore this opportunity. Choosing entertainment over wisdom may cost us dearly. Failure to comprehend our new paradigm is a mistake we can scarcely afford, and all future generations may hold us accountable.
Anyway, the possibility that you can hold the wisdom of the world in the palm of your hand is pretty cool!
The Age of Spiritual Machines is a non-fiction book by inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil about artificial intelligence and the future course of humanity. Kurzweil predicts machines with human-level intelligence will be available from affordable computing devices within a couple of decades, revolutionizing most aspects of life. He believes evolution provides evidence that humans will one day create machines more intelligent than they are.
Mr.Kurzweil's idea remains to be seen, but it is apparent that the "mechanical revolution" is increasingly doing away with work, effort. Most of our food, shelter, transportation has been mechanized, but also science, medicine and entertainment.
Indeed materialist philosophers have argued that man is some sort of machine. But materialism remains unsatisfying, because it seems inadequate to explain our deeper selves -our aspirations for transcendence, for freedom, and the beatific vision. Materialism and spirituality have long been pitted against each other, but computerized intelligence is making some interesting inroads into our personal identity through cognitive reprogramming.
There is ever increasing scientific evidence that you can actually change the structure of your brain by just thinking about it. It was believed until recently that each of us was born with a finite number of neural cells and when a cell died no new cell could grow. This old model of the brain's inability to regenerate new nerve cells is no longer relevant. It has been proven that the brain can generate fresh cells.
This new understanding of neural cell generation is an incredible discovery. New studies have shown that new neural cells are generated throughout life as well as new neural pathways. Even the elderly are capable of creating measurable changes in brain organization.
Neuro-plasticity, also known as brain plasticity, is a term that describes lasting change to the brain. The term Neuro-plasticity is derived from the root words Neuron and Plastic. A neuron refers to the nerve cells in our brain. Each individual neural cell is made up of an axon, dendrites, and is linked to one another by a small space called the synapses. The word plastic means to mold, sculpt, or modify. Neuro-plasticity refers to the potential that the brain has to reorganize by creating new neural pathways to adapt, as it needs. Think of the neurological changes being made in the brain as the brain's way of tuning itself to meet your needs.
The more you focus and practice something the better you become at the new skill that you are learning or an obstacle you are trying to overcome. By doing this new neural connections are created in the brain as synapses that don't usually fire together do, which help us to sharpen our new skill.
The implications of neuro-plasticity are profound, but there has been another recent and related discovery which may be even more profound. It is called Epigenitics. The new field of epigenetics shows that people enter the world with a particular genetic code, however genes are not controlled by DNA, but by environmental influences. So epigenetic control of gene expression (the switching on and switching off of genes) is an intelligent response to the environment.
Epigenetic changes can be transmitted from one generation to another, which is faster than the evolutionary changes resulting from natural selection. Epigenetics turns on its head the conventional wisdom of genetic determinism, the belief that genes predetermine biological and behavioral traits. It implies that we are not victims of heredity.
Neuro-plasticity and Epigenetics together form the basis of a new approach to health and happiness. The Law of Attraction is the name given to the maxim "like attracts like" which in New Thought philosophy is used to sum up the idea that by focusing on positive or negative thoughts a person brings positive or negative experiences into their life. This belief is based upon the idea that people and their thoughts are both made from "pure energy", and the belief that like energy attracts like energy. Quantum Thinking is based on a combination of NLP, Quantum Physics, and Positive Psychology.
This law of attraction simply says that you attract into your life whatever you think about. Your dominant thoughts will find a way to manifest. If you are stressed out or have too many dark and gloomy thoughts you might get sick. The first step to using the law of attraction is shifting to more positive way of thinking.
But there is a catch. the subconscious mind is much more powerful that the conscious mind and the subconscious is preoccupied with survival. Too many variables or stress overwhelms the stream of consciousness and instinct takes over. At any time each cell can be either in a growth mode or a protection mode and remaining in the protection mode too long impedes cell development, and it goes wrong in disease.
Apparently the greatest challenge to humanity is a lot of subconscious beliefs that we are undeserving, not good enough, smart enough, rich enough, or attractive enough to stay well and happy. So we unwittingly sabotage ourselves.
While we often think of our bodies and minds as two distinct entities, it turns out they are much more entwined than we might assume. Mind over matter is a phrase that essentially refers to one's ability to use will power over physical limitations - and this is the central theme of the New Age.
Using the internet to improve the quality of your life keeps easier and more affordable. A finger nail sized memory chip in an Ultra Compact MP3 Player costing just a few dollars can hold hundreds of hours of self-motivation audio files that can apparently alter your subconscious mind and help you to overcome problems and reach your goals to become healthier and happier.
There is a good MP3 player on Amazon for $25.Or you can transfer audio files to your cell phone.

WINNING TIP: Old Danube Strandbad, Vienna, Austria
One of the best beaches in the city is at the Alte Donau Strandbad – acres of grassy space behind a sandy strand, which shelves gently into the river. When the kids get bored of splashing in the Danube, make use of the two pools (one for weenies), waterslide, beach volleyball, football pitch, playground, minigolf or badminton court. There is a refreshments kiosk and plenty of shade from the many mature trees.
Off Arbeiterstrandbadstrasse in the Kaisermühlen district
Nottingham city beach
This will be the sixth year that the beach comes to Nottingham's Old Market Square. There's loads to do, lots of fun rides, a paddling pool, sand, sun loungers, plus lots of games and music entertainment. There are also snack stands and an adult beach-bar area.
Swansea Bay
Why go to the Bay of Naples? Swansea Bay has everything but the volcano (though Kilvey Hill offers great views). Six miles of sand, with dunes, kitesurfing, lido, cycle track, coffee shops every mile or so, and the Mumbles lighthouse. When it rains, there's an arts centre, two museums – one described by Dylan Thomas as "a museum that should be in a museum" – and Verdi's, for the best ice cream this side of Sorrento.
Nauthólsvík, Reykjavík, Iceland
Swimming in the sea in Iceland is a thrill not to be missed. Nauthólsvík is a family-friendly geothermal beach in Reykjavík. It has golden sands, children's slides, an ice-cream kiosk and the sea is warmed by a geothermal outlet. A most bizarre experience! A small pool has been created – suitable for children and adults – to bask in the warmest water.
Plage des Catalans, Marseille, France
The tiny Plage des Catalans in downtown Marseille has it all. There's an art deco former sugar-cane processing plant to admire, several bouillabaisse restaurants and pizza places within flip-flop padding distance, a vibrant ethnic mix of local families, clean loos and showers, golden sand, rock diving, clean turquoise sea and a 95% chance of sunshine.
Bruxelles les Bains, Brussels, Belgium
Tuesday to Sunday from July to mid-August, the Bruxelles les Bains festival sees 6,000 square metres of canal bank covered with fine sand and palm trees. A dedicated Kids Village hosts trampolining, storytelling sessions and sandcastle competitions, while older children can check out the free concerts, or hire boats and sporting equipment. There's also that most modern of beach essentials: free Wi-Fi.
Varburg, Sweden
Varburg is a small town south of Gothenburg with the cleanest golden sandy beach, a beautiful prom and reasonably priced places to eat; I recommend Olles, overlooking the bay. Once you've had your fill of sand and water, wander round the 1800s pier/bath house and fort. In summer it really does get hot and sunny here!
Le Paris Plage, France
Paris may not be your first choice for a beach holiday but, since 2004, the French capital has opened three prime spots along the Seine, right in the heart of the city, complete with fun stuff to do for kids: swimming pools suspended over the river, soft golden sand, play areas, water fountains and free concerts in the evening. It's easily accessible – and you're never far from an ice cream!
North America
Manhattan beach, Los Angeles, US
Urban LA has 75 beaches. The best one for families is Manhattan Beach – it's clean, calm, safe and watched over by attentive lifeguards. There are 50 volleyball nets on the sand, a children's play area, roller skate and cycle hire with bike tracks nearby, plus cheap eateries. If all that isn't enough, head to the free aquarium, where the gang can touch starfish and ogle sea horses.
Centre Island Beach, Toronto, Canada
This beach, on a small island in Toronto harbour, is definitely worth the five-minute ferry crossing for child-friendly stuff to do. A rock breakwater stops waves and prevents children wandering into open water, and the water is perfect paddling depth. Washrooms, a pizza parlour and bicycle hire are adjacent to the beach and Franklin Children's Garden is just behind, with a treehouse, tunnels and free crafts and gardening activities.
Middle East
Jerusalem Beach, Tel Aviv, Israel
Tel Aviv has the widest and cleanest beaches in the Middle East. Jerusalem Beach has an outdoor cafe, exercise and play area, showers and changing rooms, sun chairs and umbrellas for hire and – perhaps most important for teenagers – it has free Wi-Fi. The long beach promenade from the new port area to Jaffa harbour has a cycle path and bicycles for hire.

FILE- In this Wednesday, Jan. 11, 2012, file photo, Hostess Brands Wonder breads are displayed at a grocery store in Santa Clara, Calif. A person familiar with the situation says a bid by Flowers Foods to buy Wonder and several other bread brands from Hostess was met with no competing offers on Tuesday, Feb. 27, 2013. The individual requested anonymity because the auction process is private.
NEW YORK — A bankruptcy judge has approved the sale of Wonder and other bread brands to Flowers Foods. The deal includes the former Hostess bakery in Northwood.
Hostess Brands Inc. is selling its bread and other brands after shutting down last year.
Under the deal the Georgia company will get a total 20 bread plants, 38 depots, and the Wonder, Butternut, Home Pride, Merita, and Nature's Pride brands. The deal includes the Northwood bakery, but not the former Hostess bakery in Defiance.
Judge Robert Drain of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court of the Southern District of New York also approved the sale of the Hostess Twinkies brand to a pair of investment firms.
Hostess is selling the spongy yellow cakes, along with other snacks including Ding Dongs and Ho Hos, to Apollo Global Management and Metropoulos & Co. for $410 million.
Metropoulos, which owns Pabst beer, has said it hopes to have the cakes back on shelves by this summer.
The sale of Beefsteak, a regional bread brand, to Grupo Bimbo for $31.9 million was also approved.
Union leaders who represented workers at Hostess facilities hope the new owners will hire the workers back.
"... New ownership has signaled a clear intent to accelerate this process and return products back to the shelves as soon as this summer," said David B. Durkee, International President of The Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union. "We share the enthusiasm, energy and passions exhibited by new ownership, and believe our highly-motivated and skilled workforce will serve as indispensable partners in the seamless re-opening of factories.
"In this way, new ownership can proudly demonstrate their commitment to preserving middle-class jobs while delivering on their promise to consumers."
Hostess shuttered its factories in late November following a strike by the union. The company had been struggling financially for years.

Discussion in 'Draft Zone' started by DFlo, Apr 18, 2011.
After a week of work here it is, let me know what you guys think about it
2011 NFL Mock Draft
Looks pretty strong to me. I don't see anything outlandish. Logical. Sound.
Looks good but I think Aaron Williams goes to the steelers over Harris. He just fits the Steelers, Harris doesn't.
Then I think Dallas takes Harris at 40. I would switch those two but its a good mock.
If you have Dallas taking Rackley in the 3rd I would love it.
Nice work man . hope harris is gone before we pick in r2 . this is why i hope we have the opp. to trade up for PP so we dont waste a high 2 on a nickel CB at 40 like harris.
so why do you tink Harris is only a nickel CB? I see a guy that can cover any one one on one. Has great speed, Sanders says he is the best CB in the draft at the combine. Harris has better stats that Prince or Williams does.
Had 132 tackles (nine for losses), four interceptions, five forced fumbles, two sacks and 28 pass breakups in his career. … Named second-team All-ACC as a junior. … Ranked second nationally with 1.31 passes defensed per game as a sophomore.

If you're like me, you've dreamed of wielding a lightsaber and using The Force since you were a kid. The desire to pilot the Millennium Falcon may have begun to subside in high school, but even today you would probably join the Rebel Alliance if approached. And, if you're like me, you're pretty excited due to the recent confirmation of a release date for the new movie.
In December, Star Wars: The Force Awakens will be released in theaters in the United States, marking the first new Star Wars film in over a decade. The details and secrets of The Force Awakens, the 7th installment in the Star Wars franchise, have been kept under wraps by Disney since it was announced almost three years ago. In the internet age, we fear these things called "spoilers." For those of you who may live under a rock, a spoiler is a piece of information that may give away a key twist in the plot, in effect spoiling the end of a movie, book, or TV show.
Now, if you're like me, you're trying your hardest to avoid hearing too much about The Force Awakens in order to shield yourself from spoilers. In effect, doing exactly the opposite of what you ought to be doing in your eDiscovery process: sticking your fingers in your ears and singing "la la la la la" until the deadline.
The key to avoiding spoilers is to keep all the details at bay. Sure, I know that Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford are all returning for this new Star Wars movie, but that's about it. I've decided I'm okay with a few surprises. In fact, I would prefer it. I've found that the best way for me to enjoy a story is to not know what's coming next.
Conversely, the ONLY way to enjoy litigation is to know exactly what's coming. There's a saying we use frequently at ZL: "with litigation, it's best to win or lose early." The only way to do that is to know exactly what you have: you need to spoil your case. In eDiscovery, you can't be tepid - like me reading about Star Wars on the internet - and avoid the sensitive information. You have to effectively manage it, comb through it and identify details that could spoil a case before it even gets off the ground. No matter how bad the news is, it's going to be less painful in the long-run to hear it earlier rather than later.
In theory, this is commonly accepted. In action, it is not as adequately performed. Allow me to outline a few Star Wars friendly tools you'll need to help turn your eDiscovery team into case-spoiling Jedi:
- A repository that houses all the data in your galaxy – an archive more scalable than the Death Star
- The ability to preserve custodian data as if using the Force – your "Death Star" archive will likely need best-in-breed legal hold functionality, as well, since transferring data between space stations applications is slow and precarious at best.
- Be proactive, like when Han Solo pulled his blaster on Greedo – don't wait for opposing counsel to come knocking before trying to capture the relevant data; keep it encased in Carbonite and defrost it when its retention period is up.
- Don't be afraid of spoilers, like when Luke discovers who his father really is.

I cannot say enough about this product!! I have been using it for about two weeks after only washing with shampoo. I used to go through a bottle of conditioner in a week and after two weeks, I haven't even opened my conditioner as this spray in leave in conditioner has my hair feeling soft, flowy and looking extremely healthy!! It is a lightweight formula with a terrific scent! I have only seen it in salons, but am stocking up on my next visit!
J'aime beaucoup ce produit. Il laisse mes cheveux doux et il aide à les démêler avant et après la douche. (ce qui peut être assez difficile avec mes cheveux frisés.) Il est super je le recommande et le prix est raisonnable.
I recently received it from my hairdresser and I am in love with it! I highlight my hair and in the winter, my hair can get so tangled near my coat collar. This winter, I have had no problem at all brushing out my hair. It's easy and smooth every day! My hair is also fine and doesn't hold a style long. With Revlon, I have found my hair to have so much more volume and hold a curl all day. This is huge! My hair even has that salon product scent. I have had so many compliments on my hair and I think it's totally because of this product! Definitely recommend!

Genre: Drama
Katherine McNamara
Anthony Michael Hall
Catherine Missal
Chad L. Scheifele
Duration: 120 min
Quality: HD []
Release: Dec 12, 2015
IMDb: 1.3
I wasn't at all prepared for this home-grown, strangely moving indie from PA. I found it on DirecTV and these low-budget films are many times a real crap shoot.
Two things made me give it a try: 1) An opportunity to see Anthony Michael Hall in more than a cursory walk- on role (a nicely nuanced performance) and 2) The obvious devotion that director Chad Scheifele has to this project. He made a short film of the same title 6 years ago, penned a book, and he's now made a full length feature. As a writer myself, I understand the attachment to something you've poured a lot of yourself into. Scheifele obviously thinks it's been worth the effort. It is.
Let's clear the air about a few things first. This isn't a John Hughesy movie, despite Hall's ghostly presence as a security cop on a high school campus. It's not full of a lot of slick airbrushed teen models spouting witty catch phrases (no offense; I love JH). The script is thoughtful, spare, and not afraid to use silence, which I really liked a lot. It also doesn't appear to be (and I may be wrong) one of those Christian Coalition sponsored movies that attempts to push a Christian Message down your throat. Excepting the occasional mentions of God and Jesus, it never really takes that coarse of a path.
Tyler (Mason Dye) is the new kid in town and from the start it's obvious that he's the one taking care of his mom (Amy Carlson), an alcoholic, pill-popper who couldn't find her car keys if they were glued to her face. Tyler's only other friend at school besides good- girl Paige (Katherine McNamara) is the enigmatic, hostile Indrid Wardin (nice anagram, BTW). Indrid takes Tyler under his wing in a move that at first seems altruistic, but eventually reveals more sinister undertones. It's obvious Indrid's a man on a mission and it's not one with any sort of happy ending.
While this type of plot twist is nothing new, Scheifele doesn't really villainize Indrid the way you'd expect, nor does he wreath Tyler in a golden glow. These are both troubled boys and it doesn't take a PhD to figure out why they're screwed up. Natural Selection's themes are very basic and some might say even over-simplified, but the script and performances are so unadorned that it sells itself in it's genuineness.
Ryan Munzert's Indrid is definitely the dark spark here, but Mason Dye's introverted Tyler is in a way just as intriguing, a boiling pot ready to silently explode at any moment. Scheifele's direction and his competent crew's work isn't showy and doesn't draw attention to itself, but it matches the muted mood perfectly.
There's a lot to relate to here for most people with the patience to look for it. And it's a relief to know that a labor of love, about love --- love at it's purest, basest level --- can be made and made well.

BRONX, NY - OCTOBER 19: Florida Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria watches from the seats as his team takes on the New York Yankees in game 2 of the Major League Baseball World Series on October 19, 2003 at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, New York. (Photo by Brian Bahr/Getty Images)
Miami Marlins fans have plenty to be unhappy about right now. The team is coming off a 69-93 season after opening a $515 million stadium funded mostly by local taxpayers. To boot, owner Jeffrey Loria just shipped much of the club's best talent to Toronto in an apparent fire sale. A poll published by the Miami Herald and El Nuevo Herald on Sunday revealed as much , with Loria posting a paltry 6 percent favorability rating. To put in perspective just how low that is, similar polls showed Cuban dictator Fidel Castro holds a 1 percent rating in the same community, which boasts a large Cuban population. The survey was made up of 400 baseball fans in South Florida, with 89 percent of the respondents describing themselves as Marlins fans before the trade of Jose Reyes, Josh Johnson and Mark Buehrle to Toronto. Of that majority, 10 percent no longer identify themselves as Marlins fans. Some other interesting results of the survey: - 95 percent of those surveyed thought the trade was a f...

Mo's doing well to get this much though and good luck to him - to put it in context Radcliffe and Gebrselassie got $400 000 last time they ran New York
I'm sure Virgin may well be thinking slightly further ahead than this year. Plus is there any other big names running this year ???? Got to keep the sponsors happy.
And I know its unlike you david to take this to extreme, but I doubt the presence of any big stars on the front line would be sufficient to double the charity entery fee! And I never implied they would, I merely point out to Taxi Driver why a big name can generate money. And if Virgin want to keep London in the top 5 marathons in the world, they have to keep the big names.
As for charities pricing themselves out - there's been a handful of places offered here, but most charity places sell out, and even have waiting lists, so they haven't priced themselves out yet.
And why should Mo discuss his finances in public?

The Court of Appeal will decide whether Andrew Mitchell MP can reverse a High Court decision that the cost of his libel action against The Sun should be restricted to the cost of the court fees for the claim.
The former chief whip was told earlier this month that his legal spend would be restricted after his lawyer, Atkins Thomson partner Graham Atkins, failed to file a costs budget to the court seven days ahead a case management hearing in June (7 August 2013).
Refusing to lift the order, Master McCloud said it was imperative for all lawyers to abide by the costs regime as set down by Lord Justice Jackson and implemented on 1 April (1 April 2013).
She highlighted: "Budgeting is something which all solicitors by now ought to know is intended to be integral to the process from the start, and it ought not to be especially onerous to prepare a final budget for a CMC even at relatively short notice if proper planning has been done."
The costs judge said there was "no evidence" that restricting legal spend would cause prejudice to Mitchell, adding: "It would be for him to demonstrate that and it would be wrong of me to make assumptions about the wording of his CFA agreement with his solicitors which may or may not mean that my sanction affects him financially or in terms of legal representation."
Temple Garden Chambers costs silk Simon Browne QC is to lead the case in the CoA having been instructed by Atkins.
The case was referred to the appellate court on Wednesday and will be decided by three of the five appellate justices appointed to hear Jackson-related challenges by the Master of the Rolls (MR) Lord Dyson in May (29 May 2013).
Jackson LJ was appointed to the specialist bench alongside Lord Dyson MR, the deputy head of civil justice Lord Justice Richards and Lord Justices Davis and Lewison.
The outcome of the appeal will provide the basis for the libel costs budgeting regime going forward.
Atkins was instructed to launch the case against The Sun publishers, News Group Newspapers, in March. This came after the tabloid splashed claims that Mitchell had sworn at a police officer at the gates to Downing Street across its front page last September.
News Group Newspapers, the publishing giant behind The Sun, has turned to Simons Muirhead partner Louis Charalambous to defend the case with barrister Roger Mallalieu of 4 New Square instructed.

Chapter 12 - Eric Stag
Buying a house on the outskirts of Periville had, like most acts in Eric's life been impulsive. He had suddenly felt one day that he no longer wanted to be his father's apprentice and become a blacksmith, and that he needed a change of scene. He had never lived alone before so the prospect had been exciting and a subject of great speculation for him. He wondered what friends he would make in the new area, what adventures he would have (for what was life without adventure?) and how his life here would shape his characters - one thing he had found was that there were always events waiting for you on your Path which would revolutionise your way of thinking: it was part of the continual Learning that took place in the people's world.
Eric looked around the cottage he had recently arrived at in delight. The white walls and timber beams were comforting features since he had grown up in a similar house to this. There were three rooms, each separated by white walls. The part of the cottage you entered immediately was the living room where Eric had laid thick rugs to sit or to lie on. The cottage was split in half by one long partition along which were two doors which communicated respectively with the bedchamber and the kitchen. Both of those rooms were basically furnished, with table, cupboards and sink in the former and bed and wardrobe in the latter. Eric decided he would sort out his belongings later: he very much wanted to explore the region.
So, satisfied with his new home, he set off for a stroll around Periville, leaving his grey mare with plenty of hay in the stables beside the cottage.
Eric noted the locations of the butcher, the baker and the tailor as he passed their stores in the winding streets which he found a pleasure to walk through. The houses were all close together here - something Eric wasn't used to, having lived in open countryside all his life (his uncle being a farmer and his parents having saved money after their wedding by living with him), and the smell was none too clean due to the huts used for human needs in the proximity of the homes -yet being used to the heavy scent of horse manure, Eric didn't mind it so much. In the centre of Periville, there was a town square. Market stalls filled the place and Eric suddenly desired to have a stall himself. What better way was there to meet people, to experience he life of the typical inhabitant of Periville? He began to make plans, even as he walked towards an elderly woman selling hand-sewn items of clothing to inquire into how he should go about starting a stall.
There was a forest near the site of Eric's cottage- on public land. He would collect mushrooms (he had a wide knowledge of the flora in woodland and knew which type was edible), lavender and chestnuts; he would sell the first for food, dry, crush and put into little silk bags the latter to aid sleep, and roast the last and sell those to eat like the mushrooms.
"Good afternoon, young man," greeted the woman Eric was approaching. He smiled broadly at her. He greatly enjoyed listening to the tales of the elderly, imagining their lives in a younger version of this world. But now was not the time for listening: now was the time to act!
"Good afternoon," he said warmly. "May I ask how I can start my own stall?"
The lady smiled. "Of course. You must pay a visit to Lord Dachshund in his manor, to the far west of the town. There you may make your request. I have not known him tonotgrant permission. Will you begin selling on Wednesday or next Saturday?"
"Oh, I need a week to prepare for it," Eric answered.
"I shall look forward to seeing you in a week, then."
"Thank you very much," Eric said.
The woman bowed her head.
"Good day, young man."
Eric turned and, his pace brisk, made the journey on foot to the manor of Lord Dachshund.

Measuring effects of linear obstacles on wildlife movements: accounting for the relationship between step length and crossing probability

Animal movements in the landscape are influenced by linear features such as rivers, roads and power lines. Prior studies have investigated how linear features, particularly roads, affect movement rates by comparing animal's movement rate measured as step lengths (i.e., the distance between consecutive observations such as GPS locations) before, during and after crossing of a linear feature. The null hypothesis has been that the length of crossing steps should not differ from other steps, and a deviation from this, mainly that steps are longer during crossing, has been taken as support for a disturbance effect of the linear feature. However, based on the simple relationship between the length of a step and its probability to cross a linear feature, we claim that this assumption is inappropriate to test for behavioural responses to linear features. The probability is related to the proportion of the total length of the trajectory (i.e., the path of movement) a step constitutes. Consequently, care should be taken when formulating hypotheses about how animal moves in relation to linear features in the landscape. Statistical tests should be set up with respect to the expected length based on the distribution of step lengths in the trajectory. We propose two methods that accounts for the bias in crossing frequency that is caused by step lengths, and illustrates their applications by using simulated animal trajectories as well as empirical data on reindeer in an area with a power line.

Chapter Two - Former Treacherous SwineMature
Gonzalez relaxed upon his prison bed. Being someone in the know made the police extra polite to him. The luxury had indeed not ended! If he played his cards right, he could be out that following day. He had enough money in his account to disappear to Las Venturas away from Cortez. He knew The Colonel must be getting suspicious of his business dealings with Diaz. But soon, perhaps even that afternoon, he'd be free of them both.
A shadowy figure stepped past his cell. Gonzalez sat up expectantly, as the person stopped and turned to face them.
"Yes, officer" Gonzalez's voice was still heavy from the night of drinking. His glee was unmistakable however. "I am ready to talk, yes?"
The shadowy figure made a movement. "Yes" He replied. His voice was of Central American tones. "That is what we were afraid of".
And, in one shot, Gonzalez was no more. The report echoed around the empty chambers, as the figure left calmly. Due to the diminished police force, it took a while for him to even be identified. Such was a natural occurrence in Vice Point.
Jack Blake had a busy morning. First, was the report regarding the incident at the pier and then, he had to deal with the aftermath of the Gonzalez assassination. The fact a hitman disguised as an officer was able to penetrate the Police Station was a huge PR disaster and it did little to help the meagre morale of the force.
Though his main focus was the Vance Family, Jack was also interested in the supposed cultural attaché Juan Cortez. It was no secret in the underworld he was considered a big deal though there was little no evidence he'd ever gotten his hands dirty.
Jack sat back and looked out the window just adjacent of his desk. With the Weazel News team prowling throughout the building and the report on the Pier bust, he could use a drive to clear his head. The Detectives on the Gonzalez case were out chasing some 'leads' while the remaining cops were either on patrol or dealing with the press. His own captain had took sick leave due to the stress; his blood pressure had been a concern for his doctor.
With no leads on the Vance Family, he decided to review the CCTV of the Gonzalez murder. Sadly, the bad quality of the tape had left almost nothing to go on. However, the accent of the man had struck him. It reminded him of Juan Cortez's own accent; Central American... perhaps Panama or Costa Rica. He shrugged his shoulders; his captain wasn't in work and he had little else to do.
He knew Cortez would be hosting one of his many yacht parties, but getting in without an invite would never be a problem.
One short drive in his dark blue Cheetah and Jack Blake was in Ocean Bay Marina. The parking lot was packed with cars of expensive design; evidently Cortez was throwing yet another lavish party. Jack parked with some difficulty and walked down the pier to Cortez's yacht. He walked aboard before being stopped by two security guards in black suits.
"What do you want?" Asked the larger of the two men. He had a rat-like face lined with mistrust.
"I'd like to ask Juan Cortez some questions" Jack responded without missing a beat.
"Says who, copper?" Said the second man who was shorter yet more intimidating.
Jack raised his badge. "The Tin Man"
They conferred for a moment and reluctantly let him aboard. Evidently, they knew any bad press would affect Cortez and his State visit. Besides, Cortez was confident enough in his immunity to allow any police officer to come sniffing around.
Jack walked onto the yacht and looked around at the celebrities and assorted rich types. He saw Love Fist vocalist Jezz Torrent being fawned over by two 'fans'. He then noticed Pastor Richards; the supposed 'saviour' guilty of tax evasion. His growing influence had unnerved Jack; he reminded him of Jim Jones.
However, he saw his man. Colonel Juan Cortez was standing alone by starboard with a glass of champagne. Jack made a beeline for him, despite attracting more stares from his henchmen.
"Ah, Detective Blake" Began Cortez, slowly turning to face him. "To what do I owe this great pleasure?"
Jack refused a drink from a bus boy and kept his focus on Cortez. It was an aimless lead, but a lead nonetheless. Maybe he'll let slip something.
"I'm guessing you've heard the news about Gonzalez. Is this a party in celebration of him?" Jack replied, consciously aware he'd attracted the attention of more of Cortez's men.
"Such dark humour, Detective. I assure you this has naught to do with the passing of my dear friend. I do my mourning in private, if you understand"
Jack nodded. He felt it was foolish to come here due to the heavy, omnipresent protection of his hired hands. But his gut instinct knew there had to be something. He pressed on, knowing he had nothing to lose.
"So, you had nothing to do with an assailant who had an accent similar to yours then?"
Cortez fell silent. He gave his half-empty glass to the passing waiter and took a step closer to Jack.
"Ah, is this what you call ethnic profiling? I assure you, I'm here for good relations between our two great countries. Not to be a part of some rampant speculation"
Jack pulled out a cigar and lit it. He took one breath and exhaled a harsh cloud of smoke.
"Now, we both know you had something to do with Gonzalez. You pretty much just told me so "He considered his cigar and exhaled once more. "So why don't you drop this goodwill bullshit and tell me why you whacked your own man?"
Cortez laughed. It wasn't a pleasant sound, rather the conversation filler of a man with more dangerous ideas.
"Such raw anger for such a detective of the law. I'd love to continue talking but I must make myself available for my next guest Please, help yourself to champagne and feel free to look around. I'm sure nothing on my yacht will implicate me in any false scenario" He gestured to an imposing looking man in a blue Hawaiian shirt.
Jack Blake locked eyes with Tommy Vercetti and in an instant; Tommy took off back to the parking lot. Jack followed in hot pursuit; he wasn't going to lose this lead no matter what.
Author's Note: The mission 'The Party' takes a different turn. Jack Blake has openly accused Cortez of murder and thus, this has some butterflies for his future. As per the game, Tommy Vercetti visits Cortez after being told by Ken Rosenberg about some possible leads regarding the failed drug deal. With Tommy being chased (he has no weapons to fight with; in the game it was unlikely the player did at this point either) he doesn't meet Cortez or Mercedes this soon). Plus, did anyone get 'The Last Action Hero' reference?

5 Part 2
Matt was first, glorious in a blaze of white hot light. Behind him, fifteen of the finest Telcontar warriors stood, hovering a foot above the ground. Their small wings were beating furiously, but it did not ruin their majestic dignity. The light that they radiated illuminated the laminate flooring of the corridor, drenched in greenish-black congealing blood. Anna felt sick. Only five of the creatures remained, of the eighteen that she estimated had arrived. The Telcontar were just in time, for the three girls had been close to defeat.
"Anna! Are you okay?" It was Matt, and leaving the battle to his fellow warriors, he swept down, landing lightly to give her a hug. She rested her tired head against his shoulder, and it was only then that she wept.
"I'm sorry," she said, sniffing, as the tears ran down her cheeks as though they were trying to escape the turmoil in her brain. "It's all a bit much." Matt stroked her dark hair, matted and sticky with the blood of the Celryn.
"It's going to be okay, Anna, honestly it is. Don't worry about it." He held her close for a moment, as his companions defeated the last of the Celryn. Suddenly, Anna realised what was wrong.
"My parents!" she screamed. For it was true. In all the chaos, she had not realised that Angie and Greg had been taken, and Kathryn had kept quiet when the fight was over. "They took them! The Celryn took them!" Matt held her close, trying to restrain her, but she broke free, throwing his strong arms off her as though they were nothing. "I'll kill them for this!"
"Anna, calm down!" said Callie, her face smeared with the oddly coloured blood. "It's going to be all right!" But there was no calming the girl. This girl, who had faced creatures of nightmare without blinking, who had killed ten of the creatures who were threatening her friends and home … and who now was possessed with fury for the abduction of her parents.
"I'll kill them for this!" Her eyes were bright with the reflection of the carnage around her. "If it's the last thing I do, I'll kill them for this!"
"Anna, please, be sensible! Your parents are not dead, simply abducted!" Matt yelled. Anna stopped screaming and turned.
"Oh, and that's not bad enough?" she replied. "I've got to save them, Matt, I've got to!" Callie ran forward.
"Anna, who knows where they'll be now? You need to calm down while we go through all this. You can't just go tearing off like nobody's business." Anna shook of Callie's arm.
"I know where they are, and I know how to get there!" she replied, but she was no longer shouting. "I know where they live, their planet… I can do this!"
"No, Anna, you can't! And you won't - I won't let you!" said Matt. He lifted Anna in his arms as though she were weightless and carried her to the living room. At first he could not understand why she had stopped struggling, but after a minute it became apparent that she was unconscious.
"She needs the rest. Can't you just leave her?" said one Telcontar. He stood a little bit away from the others, and his face was older.
"I know she does, but we need to talk with her," Matt replied. "It's time she knew the truth." The Telcontar looked at him, knowing he was right.

Is it possible to stretch my stomach after a sleeve gastrectomy surgery? How long would it take?
Hi there, i had my surgery 6monts ago but i feel like since last month i can eat 3-5 more spoons of food than i could previously and it does worry me because once or twice per month i do eat a little more even when i'm feeling full. Can my stomach stretch so soon ? Could it strech overtime because once or twice a month i do "big meals" meaning i do force myself and eat more than usual? I don't eat till i throw up but i feel a slight pain and a sensation that my stomach is stretch to it's maximum
Doctor Answers 1
Hi. Its looks that you sleeve is good. Remember that the stomach will spand if you every time try to eat all that you can even if you feel pain. Try to control portions and choose hight quality food. The most important issue is that you must change eating habbits and workout hard at the gym. If you eat the same way like before surgery then even the best surgery with the time will lost. I think that you can do it and is too soon to consider a new surgery.

text: The plastic bag, said a Guardian editorial in 1959, is a "most convenient household object" - before pointing out the risk of suffocation the new product posed to children. Four decades on, the convenience remains but the risk has gone global. Reusable in theory and thrown away in practice, lightweight bags of the sort used by the billion in supermarkets soak up oil in their production and clog up landfill sites in their disposal. Though their makers protest otherwise, plastic bags are environmentally harmful. Reducing the number produced, by encouraging consumers to use them more than once, and by offering alternatives, is a sensible policy. It is also one that, like the smoking ban, will require confident state action. The government can urge stores to hand fewer of them out and ask shoppers not to waste so many, but while they remain freely available that will only ever have a small effect on consumption. More direct intervention is needed, either through taxation or a ban on their distribution, of the sort now being discussed for London by chief executives of the capital's 33 boroughs. It is true that replacing free disposable plastic bags by free disposable paper ones (which at least rot in landfill sites) might not cut carbon emissions and would add new forms of environmental damage. That is why policy should encourage the reuse of sturdier bags, plastic or otherwise, rather than new forms of waste. While customers have bags forced on them, billions will continue to be thrown away.
