Chapter Seven
Next morning, Warloc came downstairs again. It was a new day. Last night's apparition has been a new form. He'd been pestered for close to two hours by a talking Mooz-head, sandwiched between two pieces of bread. The Mooz had spent most of the time bellowing and spitting lettuce at him.
He came downstairs, still not fully awake. He strode over to the chair (where the snores were coming from) and poked the snoozing lump that was Siobhan. She wriggled out from under his cloak.
'I don't want you sleeping under my cloak,' Warloc yawned, taking his staff in his hand.
Siobhan sat up. 'Do you have any idea how cold it gets down here?'
Whilst Warloc re-lit the fire, she asked him what the plan was for the day.
'What's your real question?' he said.
'Are we going to get the portal back?'
Siobhan slid back into the chair and tugged the cloak over her face. Warloc strode over and yanked it away. He went to hang it up.
'I hate you,' Siobhan said.
He ignored her. 'Today, I'm going to write a letter to my parents and send it off, as soon as Hurley gets back.'
'What sort of thing is Hurley?' she asked.
Warloc sighed. More questions. Just what he needed after a long night of sleeplessness. 'Hurley is a bird. I use him to send messages and bring things to me.'
'Cool.' She got up out of the chair and had another browse of the bookshelf. She saw a book entitled 'Clag' and almost laughed.
'Did you really mean it when you said 'clag' was your only swear-word?'
'Yes. How many could you possibly need?'
Siobhan paused, wondering how many there were. 'Do you have anything I can write on... and, er, with?'
'Quill and paper. I'll get them.' He went upstairs.
Siobhan thought of several swearwords while he was gone, including at least four that began with the letter 'B', and when Warloc returned with a roll of brownish paper and a quill and pot of green ink, she started to jot them down. It took her a while to get used to the quill, but soon she had no problem writing.
Warloc peered over her shoulder, all the time more and more amazed. 'That's fourteen already! Are you close to finishing?'
'Almost,' she told him, quite enjoying herself. 'Actually a few of these – this one, like – they're not really swearwords, they're just quite bad words that don't really count. Ooh wait, I've just thought of some more.'
'So some swearwords are worse than others?'
'Oh yeah. This one's not really too bad. Now these three here at the top are the, er, main ones... these two here are really, really bad. Especially that one, I'm not supposed to know about that one.'
'Well, how do you know all these bad words?'
'I go to Secondary school.'
At that moment, a small feathery thing flew in through the window. It had another piece of brown paper in its beak. Siobhan watched in astonishment as it landed on the other chair.
'Good morning, Hurley,' Warloc said, walking over.
Warloc's familiar was an undersized parrot-like bird with brown and yellow feathers. Its beak was black and its eyes were two hollow black sockets. It squawked and dropped the piece of paper. Warloc picked it up and read it.
'What does it say?' Siobhan asked, starting to draw on her Swear Sheet.
He shook his head. 'It's just a letter from my parents. They're peaceable folk, so they don't use magic, but we still write to each other. I need some of that paper back.'
Siobhan stopped drawing and handed the paper and quill over. Warloc glanced over it.
'Is this me?'
'In a frock?'
'Charming.' Warloc tore the paper, snatched a book up to lean on, and sat down to write. Siobhan slumped back into her own chair, bored again. Hurley was still perched on the other chair, and seemed to be moving its head from side to side, following Warloc's quill movements.
'Hurley,' Siobhan said, and whistled. 'Come here, good boy, girl, thing. Come on.'
To her surprise, Hurley flew over. The bird landed on her stomach and started clawing her jumper with its feet.
'Hey, gerroff,' Siobhan said, trying to shove it off, but it kept clawing.
Warloc looked up. 'That's odd,' he said. 'He seems to like you.'
'Does he? Well it's quite painful.'
Hurley let go and flew up to a perch near the ceiling. Warloc finished writing, folded his bit of paper and tucked it into Hurley's beak. Hurley squawked again and flew out the window. Siobhan examined her jumper, wondering how to explain all the bobbly bits to her mum. She then started wondering how she was going to explain her two day absence to her mum. They were probably all still sitting at home, worrying where she was, and was she safe, was she wearing clean underwear and so on.
These thoughts weren't very nice ones, so she tried to concentrate on something else.
'God, I want some chocolate.'
Warloc looked up, startled. 'I'm sorry?'
'Oh yes, you don't know what chocolate is. Oh, you should try it. It's the nicest food in the world.'
'Well I'm sorry,' Warloc grumbled. 'We don't have any.'
'If I ever get back home,' Siobhan replied, 'I am going to make sure you eat your weight in chocolate before you go back.'
'Well, thank you very much.'
Siobhan passed another dull day. She quickly realised that Warloc was in no hurry to open the gateway or find another one so she could go home. She could be stuck here for a while. She didn't want to be stuck here, but that was the way it was.
And if she was going to be stuck here, Siobhan reasoned that evening, it wasn't very good for her to stay cooped up in one room all day. She'd been sitting in this chair for about two days, reading. The books were interesting enough, but she wasn't the sort to stay sitting down for days on end, especially without adequate nourishment.
And if she was going to be stuck here, she'd have a much better time if she was free to roam the area. But she couldn't do that without getting lost. And Warloc hadn't exactly shown her round and made her feel comfortable. He'd dragged her into Augura, forced her to stay at his house and told her to sleep on the floor. How lovely.
In fact, Siobhan thought irately, Warloc wasn't very nice at all. He just wanted her to sit down and shut up all the time. And it wasn't acceptable behaviour. Siobhan was from another world; she needed explanations, she needed guidance. She needed stuff to do.
The trouble with Warloc, Siobhan thought, was that he was a hermit. He stayed inside all the time and didn't talk to anyone – except maybe Dahlia. And what did he do all day? Study and write to his parents.
Well, she'd had enough. Siobhan stood up and wrapped the cloak around her. She was going to march up there right now and tell him that, well, he'd better think of a way to get her back home pretty darn quick.
Siobhan clumped up the stairs. On the way up she heard more noises, and started clumping more quietly so she could hear.
'Go away,' Warloc was saying. 'I've had enough; just let me go to SLEEP!'
Siobhan reached the door of Warloc's room, and pressed her ear to the door. Inside it sounded like there was a fight going on. Something smashed against the door and she jumped back, startled.
'Hey, are you OK?' she called to him, but the fight didn't stop. She struggled with the door handle.
'GET AWAY FROM ME!' Warloc yelled, and something inside fell to the floor and shattered. Then everything stopped and she heard the sound of someone choking.
'Warloc!' Siobhan said, feeling both worry and annoyance. She kicked the door and then lunged at it. It burst open and she fell into the room.
Her face landed in a patch of dirty green carpet. She picked herself up. Her eyes darted around the gloom, searching for an intruder. There wasn't one. Then she saw Warloc, leaning against the wall, gasping in air. He was wearing some green robe, but it was slashed. The hinge of his jaw was cut and bleeding. His knuckles were grazed and his arms were covered in scratches.
'What the hell was that?' Siobhan asked, standing where she was. She saw the remains of a glass jar lying near Warloc's feet, which must have smashed just before she burst in. She looked to see if he'd stepped on any stray bits of glass.
Warloc looked up at her. He drew himself up, straightening the feathers on his head, and then pulling down his torn sleeves.
'Don't,' he told her, 'use words I don't understand.'
'What was happening? Were you fighting? There's nobody here.'
Warloc just shook his head at her.
Siobhan was confused. She felt angry. She'd heard a fight and been worried for Warloc, and he wouldn't tell her anything. She'd got all anxious, and now he was looking at her as if to say 'Don't be so silly.' He was so infuriating!
'Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrargh!' she said, fists clenched at her sides and teeth gritted.
Warloc still stood there, a picture of dignified self-possession. Siobhan stormed back down the stairs, threw herself into the chair, and went to sleep.

Baroque revels in pain of love
Page Tools
Patrick Nolan is directing Opera Australia's Baroque double bill.
Photo: Roger Cummins
In a 17-century double bill for Opera Australia, director Patrick Nolan aims to get behind the mask of emotions, writes Robin Usher.
Opera is regarded as the most lavish and expensive art form, as shown by the top price of $1500 for tickets to see the four works in Adelaide's $15million production of Wagner's Ring Cycle. But opera-goers in Melbourne have the chance to see a production that relies on a small cast and orchestra, rather than a budget-busting set, to establish direct, emotional contact with the audience.
"It's a very pared-back form," says Patrick Nolan, director of Opera Australia's last show in its spring season, Baroque Masterworks.
The two works in the double bill, by Monteverdi and Purcell, come from soon after the birth of opera at the dawn of the 17th century.
"The baroque style is minimal and direct compared to what came later," he says. "The 21st century couldn't be more different, where we are used to layers of meaning piled on top of each other."
The production is part of a boom in baroque music-making in Melbourne, including critically acclaimed performances by the Australian Chamber Orchestra and Italy's Il Giardino Armonico.
Nolan, known for his elegant and concise direction, says his challenge is to allow the directness of the emotional approach to come through.
"It is very spacious music and it has been a remarkable process working with the singers to peel back the layers," he says.
The production opens with Monteverdi's 30-minute masterpiece, IlCombattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda, followed by Purcell's Dido and Aeneas, which is the first opera to have been sung in English. This ordering allows the evening to conclude with Dido's lament, which Nolan describes as one of opera's most well known songs.
"The chorus follows with a lament that is some of the most sublime music ever written," he says, quoting: "With drooping wings, Cupids come and scatter roses on the tomb".
Nolan says Purcell is speaking through time, reminding people that the pain of love "has always been and will always be".
The opera is adapted from the chapter in The Aenead in which Aeneas (Angus Wood), the mythical founder of Rome, is washed up on the shores of Carthage where he falls in love with Dido (Deborah Humble).
But Nolan says the opera makes Dido the main character. This allows her to sing her own death after her lover departs, contrasting with the starkness of the original, in which Aeneas looks back from his departing ship and sees the smoke of Dido's funeral pyre following her suicide.
The opera was written in 1689, during the flowering of the arts in England in the era following the rule of Cromwell's puritans. Nolan says Purcell was aware of Monteverdi's works from earlier in the century because a copy he made of a score by the Italian has survived.
Monteverdi's Orfeo, written in 1601, is regarded as the first opera. When he came to write Il Combattimento 23 years later, he developed a revolutionary style of music-making that mirrored the drama of the story.
The story is taken from Tasso's long poem on the Crusades and tells of a Christian warrior, Tancredi (Han Lim) who falls in love with a Muslim warrior maiden (Ali McGregor) before later killing her in a duel.
"She knew who he was, but because she wore an armoured visor, he didn't know who he was fighting," Nolan says.
But, he says, because the action is described by a narrator (Wood), he wanted to find a way to dramatise the fight on stage. "Because the battle to the death is so intense, I wanted to see bodies going for it," he says. So he asked Lucy Guerin to choreograph the combat. The opera is over in less than 30 minutes, but Nolan says the two dancers are called on to work hard, and he also employs them in the Purcell work after interval.
He says the beauty of the Monteverdi work is that the key issues are hidden: armour masks beauty, war conceals love and human strife is only the foreground to eternal peace.
But stage direction is just one of Nolan's interests. Having directed the Paul Grabowsky/Joanna Murray-Smith 2002 opera, Love in the Age of Therapy, he is planning to film a documentary on the lives of Aboriginal singers Archie Roach and Ruby Hunter. This follows his direction of the 2004 Melbourne Festival show, Kura Tungar, with the two singers and Grabowsky's Australian Art Orchestra.
A short film that Nolan wrote and directed in 1998, 389, was a finalist in Tropfest and screened in competition at the Venice Film Festival. 389 is about a bus route and a frustrated poet who hijacks a vehicle in order to find an audience for his poems.
Because of his deep regard for him, he gained permission from the former dissident Czech poet, Miroslav Holub, to use one of his works.
Baroque Masterworks opens at the State Theatre tonight. There will be four more performances until December 11. Book on 1300 136 166.

Abla's story
Abla is a 36-year-old Lebanese married woman who lives with her husband and two children in a rural area. She cooperates with her husband to fulfill the family's daily needs. Her husband owns a small mechanic shop in his town where he repairs cars. As for her, she opened in 2011 a clothes shop near her house to balance between her family needs and her work.
However their incomes are barely sufficient, due to the low situation in the country and the fact that they are living in a very non-populated area where the incomes are very low.
Today she is requesting to borrow a loan from Kiva partner Vitas s.a.l. to purchase a new collection of clothes and meet her clients' demands. She said that this loan will surely help her to increase her number of customers therefore her income will increase. She states that she is always eager to borrow more loans in the future to enhance her work and help her husband financially.
This loan is special because:

AbstractFor the future spaceport and storage of liquid hydrogen NASA requires cryocoolers that can provide more than 10W of cooling at 20K. The closed-cycle cooling alternatives currently available for such applications are not well suited to their requirements. In many cases reliability is low and vibration high. In other cases coolers are too massive and inefficient. This proposal describes a two-stage pulse tube cooler (PTC) that combines a bootstrap staging configuration with an innovative second-stage regenerator design and a unique load-interface. The proposed cooler contains three innovative concepts that together will overcome the limitations of current cryocooler technologies: (1) the matrix for the second stage regenerator will be made from a newly-patented material having a heat capacity in excess of all other known materials, including lead (Pb), over a wide range of low temperatures (85K down to 15K), (2) the material for the second-stage regenerator will be formed into a novel matrix geometry, and (3) a unique load-interface will be an integral part of the cooler giving it the capability to cool distributed loads efficiently. The proposed pulse tube will be lightweight, efficient, reliable, vibration free, and easy to integrate into cryogenic dewars.

text: WALTHAM, Mass., March 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Alere Inc. (NYSE: ALR) announced today that it has been awarded a grant of up to $21.6 million and debt financing of up to $20.6 million from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The $21.6 million grant will fund the development of a tuberculosis assay, which will be designed for use in both resource-constrained and well-resourced settings. It will also support the company's efforts to incorporate one of its isothermal amplification technologies for TB detection onto the Alere™ Q, a compact, portable, and robust device intended for molecular testing at the point of care. In addition, the Gates Foundation will provide below-market loans of up to $20.6 million for the expansion and scale up of Alere's manufacturing facilities in Jena, Germany for both the POC TB Nucleic Acid Test and the POC HIV Viral Load Test currently in the final stages of development. The Gates Foundation will provide these loans in exchange for commitments from Alere to make these diagnostics available at an affordable price to people in need in developing countries. Tuberculosis is a leading cause of death worldwide, and nearly 8.8 million cases of TB occur each year, mostly in middle-income and low-income countries. Today, laboratory-based technologies provide the primary means for diagnosing the illness, but these technologies often fail to identify large numbers of active cases, take weeks to deliver results, lack crucial drug resistance information, or are unable to meet the needs of individuals with limited access to lab facilities. Alere's collaboration with the Gates Foundation will produce a highly sensitive, low-cost diagnostic that can be implemented in lower-level laboratories or outside the lab altogether. A world leader in near-patient diagnostics, Alere is committed to developing solutions that support screening for the world's most burdensome diseases, such as TB and HIV, and support the ongoing monitoring of people living with HIV or HIV-related conditions like TB.

Positive poem
Today is the day that the world began again
Today is the day that my old life ended
Today is the day that I restarted anew
No excuses. No old decisions defended.
I turned my face to the wind and, taking a quick breath
I inhaled a lungful of new ambition
No more staying put. No more holding back.
Pushing myself forward. Not just holding position
And then the clouds opened and the sun broke through
The rain easing off, then ceasing to fall
And the rest of my life began right there
No doubts. No illusions. No worries at all.

Tears fall
Thick and fast
I'm so happy
And I wish it would last.
Tears fall
Yet again so fast
But I'm so sad
Why does this last?
As my grief tears me apart
All I have left is my shattered heart.
I try not to show my pain
Although it is all in vain.
I am falling apart
And though I don't show it on the outside
I feel it in my heart.
Sadness engulfs me
Though nobody can see.
Fear grips me
In it's cruel claws.
I am falling... falling...
Is everything yet lost?

text: American indie folk singer-songwriter from Seattle, Washington Noah Gundersen's music is consistently impressive and defies genre. Gunderson produced his first album, Brand New World, in 2009 and also recorded an EP, Saints & Liars, around the same time. His 2014 album, Ledges, was self-produced Noah has spent years honing his sound into the perfect folksy sound. The songs of his recently released EP "Family" shines light into a darkness that combines the haunting shadows of Tom Waits with the lyrical angst of Neil Young. "The song is about who I want to be, while realizing who I am. I want to be less like my Father and more like my Dad. Family comes in many forms, It lives with us, for better and for worse. It shapes us. That's what this album is about." Gundersen's younger years were very sheltered and music was abundant but limited, Larry Norman, Keith Green, and Bob Dylan's Christian album "Slow Train Coming" or "Saved" were the first artists he remembers being drawn to. Noah along with his violin playing sister, Abby, drummer Ivan Gunderson and bassist Travis Ehrenstrom make up the current line-up of their band, The Courage, a band that had no trouble making a name for themselves on the discerning Seattle scene. During the present time of social media giving everyone a self-important air, Noah Gundersen has become the antithesis of our time! His show is energetic, fun and very entertaining, one for everyone to come out and enjoy.

The UK has sent six RAF Typhoons to Cyprus as a "defensive counter" in case Basher al-Assad decides to fire missiles at the sovereign base on the island, the Government announced today. The warplanes, based at RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire, would be armed with Amraams (advanced medium air-to-air missiles) Asraams (advanced short-range air-to-air missiles) and a Mauser cannon.
A MoD spokesman said: "We can confirm that as part of ongoing contingency planning, six RAF Typhoon interceptor fast jets are deploying this morning to Akrotiri in Cyprus. This is a prudent and precautionary measure to ensure the protection of UK interests and the defence of our sovereign base areas at a time of heightened tension in the wider region."
Although the move was a routine precaution, it also brought memories of the Blair government's 2003 dodgy dossier, which provided details of how Saddam Hussein was able to launch missiles with chemical warheads within 45 minutes at Cyprus.
After various inquiries it was widely accepted the claim was false. There were various accounts of the origins of the information; one was that it came from a Baghdadi taxi driver who had two Iraqi generals in the back of his cab, and had overheard their conversation.
As the Typhoons were being deployed to Cyprus, the Russian news agency, Interfax, reported that Moscow is sending two warships to the east Mediterranean. Russian officials denied this meant it was beefing up its naval presence in the region. Interfax quoted a source in the armed forces' general staff as saying Russia, Syria's most powerful ally, was deploying a missile cruiser from the Black Sea Fleet and a large anti-submarine ship from the Northern Fleet in the "coming days".
At the time, the USS Stout, a guided missile destroyer from the US naval fleet, was deployed to the eastern Mediterranean, according to US officials. It is now the fifth destroyer in the area.
While the House of Commons embarked on the slow process of deciding whether the UK joins projected air strikes, the Syrian regime evacuated personnel from key command and control centres, putting troops in built-up areas and docking naval vessels next to merchantmen in ports. There were also claims, unconfirmed, by the opposition that some chemical stock had been removed from sites.
Army units based around Damascus commandeered a number of trucks to transport weaponry to alternative locations, although movement was restricted by heavy fighting near major highways.
Among the complexes reported to have been partially evacuated are the general staff command building on Umayyad Square and the nearby air force command and security compounds. The former had been operating with reduced staffing since it was targeted in a rebel bomb attack in 2012.
Activists in east Damascus claimed barracks and housing compounds for the Republican Guards and Fourth Division near the suburbs of Somariya and Mouadamiya had been evacuated and troops and their families had gone into the city.
Residents living in the foothills of Qasioun reported that the artillery of the 105th battalion of the Republican Guards, an elite unit, had fallen silent.

THE FACTS: Playing in front of a hugely pro-Knicks crowd at Madison Square Garden, Carmelo Anthony returned from a two-game hiatus caused by a sprained ankle and scored a game-high 31 points as the Knicks beat their intra-city rivals, the Brooklyn Nets, 100-86 in the first game between the two teams on the Knicks' homecourt.
Tyson Chandler added a double-double of 16 points and 12 rebounds, while J.R. Smith tallied 19 points and five rebounds off the bench.
New York (19-6) now leads the season series 2-1 with one game left at the Garden Jan. 21.
The Knicks have won five of their last six games and 10 of 12, while Brooklyn (13-12) has dropped three straight and eight of 10.
Joe Johnson led the Nets with 17 points, Brook Lopez added 16 points and 10 rebounds and Deron Williams tallied 16 points, 10 assists and five rebounds.
QUOTABLE: "There's no doubt in my mind [Carmelo Anthony is] an MVP candidate, and I know it's early, but he's playing at such a high level its scary. ... Everyone's benefiting from it. He's making guys around him better and the results are wins. And that's all that matters at the end of the day."
-- Knicks coach Mike Woodson on Anthony, who was a game-time decision
THE STAT: Without Steve Novak (flulike symptoms), the Knicks shot 11-for-28 from beyond the arc, while the Nets were 10-for-25. Anthony was the most efficient Knicks player at 4-for-8.
TURNING POINT: The Knicks went on a 25-7 run after trailing by four points in the third to go ahead 82-68 early in the fourth. They closed the third period on a 18-6 spurt and led 75-67 after three. New York outscored Brooklyn 48-38 in the second half.
QUOTABLE II: "That's what we expect [from Carmelo] every night. Whenever he's in the lineup, that's what we expect from him."
-- J.R. Smith on Anthony's performance
HOT: Chandler had seven field goals, including six dunks -- five of which were alley-oops.
NOT: The Nets forward duo of Kris Humphries and Gerald Wallace went a combined 2-for-10 for six points and 14 rebounds.
QUOTABLE III: "I think they'll remain confident. We'll get back on the practice court Friday and Saturday, and hopefully fix some of these problems."
-- Nets coach Avery Johnson
NOTABLE: Amar'e Stoudemire will practice Thursday with the D-League Erie BayHawks and the Knicks will decide where to go from there. It's possible Stoudemire could play Friday vs. Chicago or Sunday vs. Minnesota. "It's going to be entirely up to him and the doctors in terms of how he's feeling," Woodson said at shootaround. "If he says he's ready, then I trust that and I'll play him." ... Rasheed Wallace and Marcus Camby both did not dress for the Knicks with comparable cases of sore left feet.
QUOTABLE IV: "If he's not 100 percent, I'll take whatever percent he was tonight because that was awesome."
-- Mike Woodson on Anthony
INSIDE THE ARENA: Patrick Ewing, John McEnroe, Gerry Cooney, Willie Randolph and Victor Cruz were among those courtside.
UP NEXT: For the Knicks, Friday vs. Chicago, Sunday vs. Minnesota, Tuesday @ Lakers. For the Nets, Sunday vs. Philadelphia, Tuesday vs. Boston, Wednesday @ Milwaukee.

Assessment of energy savings potential from the use of demand controlled ventilation in general office spaces in California

A prototypical office building meeting the prescriptive requirements of the 2008 California Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Title 24) was used in EnergyPlus simulations to calculate the energy savings potential of demand controlled ventilation (DCV) in five typical California climates per three design occupancy densities and two minimum ventilation rates. The assumed minimum ventilation rates in offices without DCV, based on two different measurement methods employed in a large survey, were 38 and 13 L/s per occupant. The results of the life cycle cost analysis show DCV is cost effective for office spaces if the typical minimum ventilation rate without DCV is 38 L/s per person, except at the low design occupancy of 10.8 people per 100 m2 in climate zones 3 (north coast) and 6 (south coast). DCV was not found to be cost effective if the typical minimum ventilation rate without DCV is 13 L/s per occupant, except at high design occupancy of 21.5 people per 100 m2 in climate zones 14 (desert) and 16 (mountains). Until the large uncertainties about the base case ventilation rates in offices without DCV are reduced, the case for requiring DCV in general office spaces will be a weak case. Under the Title 24 standard office occupant density of 10.8 people per 100 m2, DCV becomes cost effective when the base case minimum ventilation rate is greater than 42.5, 43.0, 24.0, 19.0, and 18.0 L/s per person for climate zones 3, 6, 12, 14, and 16, respectively.

Favorite Daredevil villains.
The most Dangerous enemy Daredevil has fought repeatedly.No one has caused Daredevil more personal pain than Bullseye.
The ultimate chess player of crime.He may be Daredevil's greatest foe.
I love what Ed Brubaker did with him.He turned him into a real threat for Daredevil.And most importantly he got rid of Milla who I hate.
He's awsome. Read Born Again.
She's got a very tragic backstory that makes you feel sorry for her but aside from that she's really interesting and a pretty dangerous enemy for Daredevil.
When Frank Miller first brought them in they were dangerous, now they're just a bunch of ninja jobbers.But I still like seeing Daredevil fight them.
A classic Daredevil villain.
Deadly,deranged, and unstable.One of the most craziest villains Daredevil has ever faced.And definitely one of my favorites.
I think Tombstone is awsome!!I think he works better as a villain for Daredevil rather than Spidey.
He's sick twisted and ruthless and I think he's full of potential.Don't believe me?Read Alias.

1. Your I-94 number: look for it in the I-539 you filed;
2. The lawful admission stamp on your passport, next to your visa stamp (usually on the very next page of the passport).

I jump up with such speed that my heart rate increases. My head aches with the knowledge I gained from my daily meditation.
All us sisters have a daily night meditation at nine pm sharp. Meditation takes time because the mind needs to fall into a void of nothingness. A place where nothing matters.
Normally we sisters would astral travel during this time to other astral planes. Sometimes we would even meet our familiars. Too bad humans can't see them when our familiars visit our plane.
This time, my mind could not grip at the astral plane because my familiar was me. My dragon curled herself around my neck, letting me see a vision. I saw a single scene, which reminded me of a tarot card. One single card.
I was on a meadow which ended with an ocean.The sound of the waves gently hit the land, beckoning me to come closer. My eyes closed in bliss. Dolphins in the distance. Some of them even called out to me.
One called out, "Melina, open your eyes!"
I listened.
How could I not? And out of the waters appeared an object. I squint my eyes trying to decipher it. After squinting and blinking I saw that the object was in fact a couple. A handsome warrior holding onto dearly to his woman. A woman who was so beautiful that Zeus himself would make her a goddess. The woman wrapped herself around the warrior. It was like she was afraid he would disappear. But he didn't. He clutched her closer and from where Melina was standing, it seemed that they were melting into each other with the sun lighting their love.
That was when I was thrown back into my body.
Two words escaping my lips, "The lovers."
My dragon continues to sleep. I walk up to my mirror and run my fingers through the tangled mess, feeling anxious over the possibilities of the shown card.
Seconds later, I see my sisters in the reflection of the mirror.

This ham version of meat loaf was one of my mother's standbys, and it's now a main dish my husband and I enjoy often. The sauce, which has a nice hint of sweetness, reminds me of the color of the sky when I enjoy a golden Southwestern sunset from my kitchen window!

The Cavs currently own a 0-3 record in the NBA Summer League. Considering that's the equivalent of watching the Washington Generals play, that's worthy of a collective "yawn."
What it is good for, however, is getting a look at players who are currently on or could be on the Cavs opening day roster.
So far Tarence Kinsey (14 ppg), Jawad Williams (12.2 ppg) are making an impact and after a rough first outing Christian Eyenga (9.3 ppg) is showing something along with fellow rookie Danny Green (10.3 ppg). From all reports, Eyenga is still very raw, but no one is really expecting him to add anything this year and probably not even next.
Green scored in double digits in his first two games, but had an 0-5 shooting effort Tuesday.
Green had a couple of decent offings to start

Located in New York City, SCEPA is at the center of a network of leaders dedicated to progressive and innovative education and ideas.
SCEPA faculty are investigating the economics of climate change, from mitigation proposals to implementation.
SCEPA focuses on the U.S. economy, with an awareness of the global context of domestic economic developments.
A research institute within The New School's Economics Department, SCEPA is dedicated to collaboration between today's experts and tomorrow's leading economists.
SCEPA is working to reform a retirement system that is failing Americans.
- On Capitol Hill
- On Wall Street
- In the Press
- Policy Reform Work
Our projects are designed to empower policy makers to create positive change. With a focus on collaboration and outreach, we provide original, standards-based research on key policy issues.
SCEPA joined with the Economic Policy Institute on Capitol Hill to brief congressional staff and policy experts on tax expenditures, or incentives given through the tax code without scrutiny by Congress.
SCEPA economists are working on the prospects for a more progressive economic order to emerge from the shock of the recession. They have published papers and documents that place current events in a longer-term context as well as policy proposals to deal with short-term concerns. They are also documenting the emerging discussion of how the discipline of economics is reacting to the Great Recession and the questioning of conventional economic analysis.
Lance Taylor, a SCEPA Faculty Fellow, presents an overview of his new book, Maynard's Revenge, in a Google Tech Talk.
The book, published this November by Harvard University Press, is a timely analysis of mainstream macroeconomics, posing the need for a more useful and realistic economic analysis that can provide a better understanding of the ongoing global financial and economic crisis.
The government spends $143 billion through tax breaks in an effort to expand pension coverage and security. Yet, over half of the American workforce does not have a pension. Retirement insecurity hurts business plans, workers' lives and retiree well-being. Reform is needed.
SCEPA's Guaranteeing Retirement Income Project, sponsored by the Rockefeller Foundation and in collaboration with Demos and the Economic Policy Institute, has a plan to guarantee safe and secure retirement income for all Americans.
Free Online Economics Course
- Details
New School Economics Professor Sanjay Reddy is offering a free online course in microeconomics in collaboration with the Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET). Titled, "Advanced Microeconomics for the Critical Mind," the class will transcend the narrow and technical nature of modern microeconomics to present a holistic survey of the discipline. Professor Reddy will engage students in a wide range of topics to help them better understand the foundations and implications of modern microeconomic theory. You can watch a preview of the course material.
Professor Reddy received his PhD from Harvard University in 2000. His research focuses on development economics, international economics, and economic philosophy. Teaching Assistant Raphaele Chappe received her LLM from New York University and came to The New School after eight years as an attorney in the financial services industry.
Classes begin October 3rd. The course is free and registration is open to anyone interested.
Reframing the Minimum Wage Debate
- Details
SCEPA Economist David Howell has an article in The American Prospect magazine featuring his research with New School doctoral student Kea Fielder and CUNY Professor Stephanie Luce.
The article argues for reframing the minimum wage debate. Instead of worrying about losing low-paying, high turnover jobs, the focus should be on creating jobs with living wages.
Howell leads SCEPA's Growth and Jobs project, funded by the Washington Center for Equitable Growth, where he seeks to answer the question "what happened to shared growth?" Since the 1980s, U.S. economic growth failed to produce enough jobs, especially "decent jobs." To understand wage inequality and unshared productivity growth in the United States, Howell focuses on how institutions affect labor market outcomes. His work compares the United States with Canada, Australia, Germany, and France to understand how the distribution and growth of decent jobs compare by economic sector across countries.
VIDEO: Economics of Climate Change with Professor Kabat

Professor Pavel Kabat joined SCEPA on Monday, September 19, 2016 to present a lecture on the U.N.'s Sustainable Development Goals as part of our Economics of Climate Change series. Pavel Kabat is director general and CEO of the Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) in Austria.
Directed by Economist Willi Semmler, SCEPA's Economics of Climate Change Project is generously sponsored by the Fritz Thyssen Foundation, the German Research Foundation (DFG), and the Tishman Environmental and Design Center (TEDC).

This year marks the 150th anniversary of the beginning of the American Civil War. During the four years of furious battles the American landscape and family was scarred. The list of casualties mounted to 620,000 plus, but what of those who survived the horrific fighting, and attempted to lead normal lives and establish their own families? Henry Rittenhouse was one of the soldiers who survived the killing fields.
Henry, born in Pennsylvania, as a young man learned the wheelwright trade. He enlisted in the Union Army on 19 August 1862 and became a member of the 149th Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers, Company C. This unit was known as "The Second Bucktails."
Organized at Camp Curtain, Harrisburg, the 149th saw action at Chancellorsville and Gettysburg. Henry was wounded on the nose during the second day of battle at Gettysburg, but obviously not seriously, as he participated in the pursuit of Lee's army after the battle. During operations on the North Anna River in Virginia, Henry was captured by the confederates on 23 May 1864. Unfortunately for Henry he was sent to infamous Andersonville Prison. Contracting scurvy while in prison, Henry was fortunate to survive his ordeal and was paroled at Savannah, Georgia on 30 November 1864. He returned to civilian life on 12 June 1865.
Prior to 1870, Henry married Sarah Heck and they had two children: Ulysses, born in 1871, and Mary Ellen born in 1876. Henry worked as a wheelwright, and later as a lock tender for the Schuylkill navigation company. An industrious individual, Henry was quiet but always cheerful to those who knew him.
As Henry aged, the hardships of his war and prison experiences began to take their toll on his health. He feared that he would not be able to provide properly for his family. Feeling proud of his military service, Henry petitioned the government for an increase in his six dollar a month pension. The government refused his petition for an increase, and Henry, with his deteriorating health and loss of eye sight, lost hope. He became melancholy and felt he was becoming a burden to his family. He mentioned to his wife, when a funeral procession passed them by, "he wished it was his."
On the morning of 22 June 1896 the Rittenhouse family was startled by a gun blast. Running to the attic the household found Henry Rittenhouse lying on the floor clutching a shotgun. His remains, attired in a black shroud, and reposed in a satin lined walnut casket with a plate bearing the inscription, "Father," were buried in Zions Church Cemetery at Womelsdorf, Pennsylvania. Members of post 16, Grand Army of the Republic, acted as pallbearers.
Henry served his country well and became forgotten as time marched on. We, as citizens of this country, have a responsibility to remember those, who because of their sacrifices, gave us the lives we enjoy today, whether they be our ancestors or not.

Very nice trip report and how-to tutorial!
Being a suspension free pack fan I gotta ask:
1) How'd you like the ZPacks Blast packs?
2) 31.6lbs starting weight might be pushing the limits there? Did you perceive a tipping point as you ate your way to a lighter load?
3) The photos seem to show hip belts, did you find them useful with this pack?
4) How'd the 1.5oz Cuben stand up to the load?
5) How about the stitching?Jun 17, 2009 at 10:24 pm #1508963

Thanks for the great trip report Rick! I'm hoping to get to Chile and Peru in the next couple of years. I doubt I'd be brave enough to do it with just a tarp, so kudos for that!
Underwear… Victoria's Secret… Micromesh Panty
Interesting choice. And what was your partner wearing? ;-)
Generally, it is wise to carry along a bag of lemon candy or similar treats to give to locals whom you feel inclined to treat.
I'd *strongly* discourage this. In theory it's a nice thing to do, but in practice it just fosters an unhealthy relationship between foreign trekkers and the local population. As you noticed yourself, it encourages people to approach you simply for the purpose of asking for candy (or whatever). In many cases this makes it impossible to have any sort of normal interaction with them. As you noted, it's often the case that people keep asking for a sweet even after you've said no.
I find it really sad when I go trekking in places like Nepal and I meet children on the trail. Instead of saying "hello" they say "hello pen?" or "hello bonbon?". I don't think this is a good way for children to learn to interact with foreigners. Generally these children are not so poor they need to beg for food, but by handing out stuff on the trail I feel we are undermining their independence and self-respect. In other countries, such as Vietnam, it is wonderful to meet children who do not view foreigners as walking vending machines. They play and interact naturally, and are delighted to meet you and say hello or play a game. I had about 5 kids hanging off my legs in Vietnam once and it was lots of fun!
A much better alternative to giving away candy/sweets is to find a local school in the mountains and give some school supplies (books, pencils etc etc) to the school teacher. This has a much more positive and lasting impact and promotes a great relationship between visitors and the local community.
ps. Sorry if I sound like I'm preaching, but foreigners handing out candy on the trail is one of my pet hates!Jun 17, 2009 at 11:58 pm #1508973

@legkohodLocale: Eastern Europe / Caucasus
Thanks everyone for the encouragement! I'm writing from the PCT and so rarely have Internet access.
About the Zpacks Blasts:
We like these packs a lot. 30+ lbs in the larger one is certainly not very comfortable, but within 3 days it's down to a comfortable weight. 25 lbs seems to be the comfort limit for any frameless pack I've tried (MLD Zip, Blast, Golite Pinnacle). The hip belts are necessary, but get the hip pockets too, which have the actual padding for the belt. 1.5 oz cuben seems like a 2 -2.5 oz silnylon in terms of strength. The stitching is good and should last about 100-150 days of backpacking.
About the candies:
That's a good point. It's a hard call. It's hard to have to disappoint the locals, but some "tough love" from foreigners would probably be a good thing.
Surprisingly little. Just birds (condors, etc.) and a relative of the pica. And cattle…Sep 10, 2009 at 12:19 pm #1526594

Yes, it was simply a piece of silnylon cut out to form an open-topped cone, with a few pieces of velcro sewn on to form the cone shape.

My Story: "I Choose Life"
I am a breast cancer survivor…I choose life.
During a typical, high-stress day in the life of a Type-A working mom and wife, I had my annual gynecologist checkup. When my doctor found a lump in my left breast, her facial expression made me pause. But I had to get back to work, figure out what I was going to cook for dinner and make plans for my upcoming week-long business trip. I didn't really have time for the mammogram, sonogram and biopsy.

A good hairstylist is essential. He can keep
the hair in check. Many perfect shots are
ruined by messy hair or some stubborn strands
of hair cascading down the face. It may
not seem obvious when you're in the heat
of shooting, but it is very noticeable in
your final shots. The hairstylist's job
is to take note of all these, and keep the
hair supple and glossy. Professional hair
styling is also a complex field. Leave
it to the professionals - it worth it!

background, cutting men's, women's and children's
hair, making Wedding and Prom hairdos with salon style at affordable price.

I want to balance my wide and prominent nose by making my browbone and T-zone more prominent and form a more well-defined "T-shape". I do not want a rhinoplasty. I consulted a plastic surgeon and he says a filler called "hydroxyapatite" is a safe and long-lasting option for me. I want something safe, permanent (or lasts AT LEAST 10 years), and preferably non-surgical. Is this possible? What choices do I have for this? Thanks!
Creating Facial Balance with Hydroxyapatite Filler?
Doctor Answers 2
Two wrongs don't make a right
I understand your objectives here, but the concept of altering one part of your face to try to camouflage your nose, which by your own description is wide and prominent, is problematic for me.
I also understand you want a permanent solution to your problem. I would begin by addressing your concerns regarding a rhinoplasty. Perhaps a second opinion from a good rhinoplasty surgeon can change your mind.
Good Luck!
Hydroxyappatite filler may work, but there are potential issues
I believe I understand your question correctly in that you wish to have a stronger dorsal profile which will give the illusion of your frontal view being narrower. In order to achieve this, fillers could potentially be used. However, the person injecting them must be careful with placement.
Hydroxyapatite fillers do last longer then their hyaluronic acid counterparts, but there are some potential issues. If you are not happy with the result, it is more difficult to rid yourself of the hydroxyapatite. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be removed with hyaluronidase. There is some risk of erythema or redness after injecting any kind of fillers, particularly around the thin skin of the nasal dorsum. The injection must be deep or it can injure the subdermal plexus, which provides blood supply to the skin. Rarely, you could cause skin necrosis or permanent skin damage from injecting these fillers in that area.
In areas that do not move as much such as under the eyes versus say the lips, fillers will last much longer. I discourage my patients from having hydroxyapatite in the nose and would favor hyaluronic acid instead. It will still last a very long time (years) and can be reversed if there are any issues. Hope that helps you.
