Chapter 5 - Aftermath
Emparigus' head was spinning. He sat up and looked around him. The street was empty. That fat butcher had obviously been a better fighter than he'd anticipated.
When he stood up, he realised his armour had been stolen (as he could remember nothing after being thrown from the tavern – his head had received a nasty bash on the doorframe). He was wearing his tunic and breeches, but had lost his helmet, his mail, his sword and his shield. This was very bad.
Looking around him cautiously, he headed for the sound of voices. Turning the corner, he saw three men silencing the two of Angus' sons that had not yet been subdued.
But as he approached, the two sons performed a perfectly synchronised movement with their hammers, spinning their opponents' swords out of their hands. They then turned and fled back to their tavern.
'Surely soldiers of Ildar can defeat some dirt-blooded, scrawny Chalean villagers!' roared Emparigus in rage; the two soldiers turned to see their leader without armour and laughed quietly.
'I don't think you had much success either, sir,' they guffawed.
'Maybe not,' said Emparigus evasively. 'But keep looking anyway, they're bound to be here someplace.'
'The butchers', sir,' said one soldier suddenly. 'We haven't checked in there.'
'Well, go on then!' yelled Emparigus, jerking his thumb over his shoulder. 'On the double!'
Even though they would have been quite able to finish Emparigus easily when he was without armour or weapons, the men obeyed him instantly and fearfully. Hurrying back along the alley, they turned into Six Spears Lane and headed for the butchers'. On the way Emparigus sent someone to collect some more armour for him – he did not appreciate being in nothing but his tunic and breeches.
When Emparigus reached the butchers' he found the door locked. Immediately he became suspicious, as every other door they had encountered had been unlocked. Maybe they thought that if they hid something in there and locked the door, he wouldn't be able to find it. But Emparigus simply squared his shoulders and smashed through the door, into the dimly lit shop.
His sharp eyes swept around the room, seeking out cupboards, doors and concealment devices. The abattoir door was still ajar, and he made his way swiftly towards it.
As the door opened, the smell of fresh meat reached his nostrils. Sliding between the lines of steaks, joints and chops, he went towards the back of the room, where another door was open, revealing a small set of steps, no doubt down to the cellar.
Emparigus descended the steps and emerged into Evan's cellar. Boxes were piled high against the walls. Bottles of beer and wine were stacked neatly in a rack. But the furthest corners of the room were thrown into shadow by the lack of light.
'Forze?' called Emparigus tentatively. 'Endelash?'
At once there came thumping and crashing from one of the larger boxes, and some strangled wailing. Emparigus dashed over to it, and wrenched off the lid, which had been nailed shut.
Forze and Endelash were lying in the box. Forze was pale and shaking, bound and gagged. Endelash was even whiter, with a blood-soaked tunic and an arrow in his gut.
At once Emparigus pulled Forze out of the box. Forze could hardly walk – Emparigus ushered him over to a barrel in the corner and sat him down.
'Forze – what happened?'
'Thank – you,' he gasped, 'for getting me – out of there.'
'What happened?' Emparigus repeated urgently.
Forze was very weak. It looked as though he was exercising all of his strength to talk.
'Endelash – dead – we were attacked –'
'Who by?'
'… two – children, a – boy and a girl – must have been about – fourteen – they killed – Endelash – then – we were – imprisoned – in the box –'
'Children?' exclaimed Emparigus. 'You were attacked by children?'
Forze nodded silently.
'We must find the children,' said Emparigus, and a sudden, burning anger blossomed inside him. The fact that children – children, moreover, from the barbaric country of Chalea – could put Ildar's best spies out of action, was ludicrous! Emparigus didn't know whether Forze's memory might have been affected by what he had seen, because he hoped against hope that it wasn't true.
And before long, Forze had been taken to the medical team, Endelash had been covered and was being taken on a litter back to camp, where he could rest in peace. Emparigus doubted very much that the children mentioned were still in the village, however much he reckoned that they could not pass the blockade.
That was where he was going to start. There was a guard at every gate of the village – north, west and south. He doubted they would have headed north, as Thorsbridge was the most northerly settlement along the mountains. They might have breached the wall to the east and be going over the mountains right now – but if they did, their camp would stop them. But west – that was the way to Lionforge. They would have escaped to tell the King what had happened!'
An uncontrollable panic seized Emparigus, and before he knew it he was running as fast as he could towards the west gate.
'Have you let anyone past the gate tonight?' he demanded of the soldiers there.
'Of course we haven't, sir, your orders were very clear,' drawled one of the soldiers. Emparigus looked from one truthful face to the next, then hastened to the south gate.
'Have you, by any chance, let anyone through the gate tonight?' he panted, approaching the guards there.
The heavyset man answered.
'Yes, sir, we let –'
'Why did you let anyone through, I told you not to let anyone pass!'
'There was a man in an Ildarine uniform, sir, I thought that would have been proof enough.'
'And where do you think he got that uniform from?' said Emparigus shamelessly, spreading his arms to make plain the lack of his armour, jerkin and weapons.
The heavyset man paused, looking shocked at his stupidity.
'Was the impostor accompanied by anyone?' snapped Emparigus furiously.
The soldiers assembled looked darkly at each other, and fearfully at Emparigus.
'Y-yes, sir,' said the heavyset man. 'He was with two children, a boy and a girl, unless I am much mistaken, said they had another encampment on the other side of the –'
'You believed that story!' exclaimed Emparigus. 'They've probably not gone south at all, but west to tell the King that we are here! Why does nobody listen to me? I told you explicitly that no-one was to pass, and look what you went and did!'
Emparigus turned away and saw a boy running towards him under the weight of armour, jerkin, shield and sword. Gasping for breath, he handed them to Emparigus. He took them silently without thanking the boy.
Once he had donned them he turned to his men.
'Get out there and find them,' he said quietly, 'and find them before they reach the King, or I will cut off all your heads.'
'But who will guard the –'
'I will guard the gate!' roared Emparigus suddenly. 'And no doubt I'll do a better job than ten of you! Now go or I'll cut off your heads now!'
The men hurried away, into the darkness, leaving Emparigus to his troubled thoughts of how everything was going so horribly wrong.

Cookouts are the best part of summer, especially on the 4th of July with family and friends. Who doesn't love hot dogs, hamburgers, and fireworks? Bring that laid-back vibe to your rehearsal dinner. Here's how to do it.
1. Big-Batch Chilled Beverages
Mix up big batches of flavored water, lemonade, or sweet tea and let guests serve themselves! Use mason jars as glasses for an extra picnic-y feel. Photo by Katelyn James Photography.
2. Gingham & Sunflower Decor
Set your wooden banquet tables with checkered linens or napkins and use bright yellow sunflowers in your centerpieces. Here's our step-by-step guide to styling a summer table. Photos by Chelsea Fuss and Nami Dadlani Photography.
3. Finger Foods
Pass around bite-size burgers, BBQ sliders, pigs in a blanket, french fry shooters, and corn on the cob halves as appetizers. Photo by Jose Villa.
4. Strawberry Shortcake
We all scream for ice cream! As much as it would cool off guests, it would also quickly melt in the heat. Instead, try a strawberry shortcake. Light and sweet, it will leave guests feeling satisfied but not heavy. Here's a complete step-by-step recipe for creating the one pictured. Photos by Chelsea Fuss.
5. Lawn Games
Entertain your guests with lawn games such as cornhole, croquet, hula hoops, bocce ball, and badminton. Photo by Orange in Bloom. Read the rest of this entry »
Trey and Kiersten have the sweetest of love stories… They met as freshman in high school when Trey attended Kiersten's church. One look at Kiersten and Trey told his father that he was going to marry her one day! Better than any of the best fairytales, the two tied the knot in a country chic celebration in Scottsville, Virginia with Katelyn James on hand to document the details, moving moments, and all that highschool sweetheart love…
The day was idyllic- not too hot, not too cold- with a gorgeous view of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the backdrop. The event was held at Trey's parents' summer camp— the place where they started dating. After Kiersten dressed in her gorgeous White by Vera Wang gown, the pair had a 'first look' in the camp's corn maze. Kiersten says, 'Trey was already there waiting for me, after rounding the corner, we saw each other, and he literally ran to me! Best thing ever! We got to share a few very sacred moments together before we officially started the adventure of the day!'
Instead of lighting the traditional unity candle, the couple chose to wash each others feet in devotion and servitude, a loving act that symbolized their marriage. They invited everyone and anyone to join in on the ceremony, every square inch of straw bale seating was taken!
Colleen and Zachary envisioned a summertime wedding reminiscent of a classy dinner party, but combined with the relaxed charm of a picnic. The outcome? Hands down one of the most sophisticated, unique, and lovely weddings I've seen! We're overjoyed to feature their love story and beautiful wedding day photos by Anne Robert Photography as this week's Real Wedding of the Week…Colleen has always loved the small details that make a wedding special. Together with event designer, Vicki Grafton of My Simple Details, she went to work implementing the dozens of unique elements that imbued the day with classy, summer style. When Colleen first started planning, she found a photo of a bride and groom dancing on a checkered floor. She was captivated; the vision and color palette unfolded from there. Black and white gingham accents appeared throughout the day, and contrasted with a palette of champagne bridesmaid's dresses and dramatic crimson florals. Colleen's look was feminine and romantic, and she carried a dreamy, lush bouquet by Petals & Hedges. After a traditional ceremony at the same church that Colleen's grandparents wed, the happy couple and their guests traversed from D.C. to Arlington's Hendry House for a dashing reception filled to the brim with darling details. From the relaxed charm of the red bicycle and gingham napkins, to the refined sophistication of calligraphed place cards and casual-elegance centerpieces, the party was overwhelmingly stylish.
Swoon.. (And the bride's first dance dream came true)! There's much more to see, enjoy the full feature here…

I can't stop marveling at this nearly all-DIY wedding! The bride, Megan, is an aspiring floral designer, so she created the bouquets and arrangements and hand made so many other sweet things like drink flags and bunting! Joined by Adam, the handsome groom, the couple wed outdoors at the Rye Patch in Aiken, South Carolina. The ceremony was followed by a charming picnic reception. Delight in all the DIY goodness below!

JMK Value Added, LLC250 Mercer Street, Suite 301 New York, New York USA
JMK Value Added, LLC Sent mystery shopper scam letter with rubber check. I investigated and shredded it. New York New York
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I got a letter in the mail with an Ontario address. The company, JMK Value Added, was located in NY. Oddity #1.
It enclosed a hefty check with instructions on what to do with it. One had to activate the payroll check first by calling (huh?) and then call the "manager" as soon as I do the money wiring. Wire two big chunks via Western Union (big red flag), evaluate customer service, and then spend a little at a big box store, then keep the rest. $350 was my "salary," whereas most mystery shopper jobs pay about $20 per job (variable, but according to Mystery Shopper's Association, it's usually something in that league).
Something didn't add up. And the icing on the cake-atrocious spelling and grammar. After a little investigation, it turns out this is a nasty scam that can run your average Joe $3000-$4000. Basically when the check is processed, fraud goes undetected for weeks in most cases, and the account holder (you) are held liable for funds withdrawn against it. OUCH! I shredded the check without cashing it.
I dodged a bullet here, but I figured that this information might spare someone else from this nasty scam. If you get an unsolicited "job offer" and a check, it's too good to be true, and shred it. DO NOT cash it. Here's some details on it.

Northern Wisconsin region suffering long dry spell
By Judy Keen, USA TODAY
LAKE TOMAHAWK, Wis. The drought that has gripped northern Wisconsin for eight years is drying up lakes, distressing wildlife and forests and changing Pat Wingo's business.
At Captain Hooks, the bait, tackle and gift shop he owns in this town of 1,200, Wingo, 45, stocks less live bait and more plastic lures because there are fewer walleye and more bass in some lakes. Walleye are finicky about where they spawn, and changes in some lakes have reduced their population, he says.
His work as a fishing guide is altered, too. Some of the usual hot spots are gone. He takes anglers in pursuit of musky and perch to different lakes than he once did. "We've seen some big changes," Wingo says. The lakes and their fish populations "probably have changed forever."
Parts of this state's North Woods and the adjacent Upper Peninsula of Michigan are the only areas in the continental USA experiencing "extreme" drought. It's the region's most severe drought since the 1930s and its longest dry period since the 1950s, says Roy Eckberg, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Green Bay, Wis.
EXTREMES: June 2010 highs and lows
It will take 30-50 inches of precipitation to make up the deficit, probably over two or more years, he says. The drought is caused by "natural variability in weather patterns, and I'm sure there is some global (climate) change aspect," Eckberg says. "How much, that's really hard to say."
Director John Young of the State Climatology Office says the outlook for summer is for normal rainfall, which could "start a partial restoration of lake levels."
Some of the drought's visible effects are striking. The Rainbow Flowage, a reservoir just east of here, is down 13 feet from its maximum depth, exposing rocks that should be underwater and creating new beaches. Two of its three boat landings are unusable. Dropping water levels have cut off bays from the main parts of Clear and Sugar Camp lakes.
The drought's effects deep in the forests are potentially more troubling. "It's going to take a long time to recover from this," says Tom Jerow, water leader for the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources' northern region. Among those changes:
• The frog population has declined because shallow ponds have dried up, says DNR wildlife biologist Ron Eckstein. It will take two or three years for them to rebound when the drought ends.
• Receding water threatens beavers, who build lodges on shorelines and store food beneath the ice in winter. As gaps between the two grow, it's harder for them to access their food.
• Trees such as red oak and white birch are more vulnerable to insects. They're weakened when lack of moisture makes it hard for them to store nutrients in root systems, Eckstein says.
• Lower lake levels and deeper sunlight penetration cause increased weed growth, which can affect fish spawning, says Steve AveLallemant, DNR fisheries supervisor for the northern region.
• By hindering the growth of saplings, berries and other vegetation, droughts affect animals' food supplies. Because of the drought, breeding duck numbers were lower than average this year, the DNR says.
People here aren't complaining about some changes: Migrating shore birds that prefer sandy beaches are dropping by more often, and there's been a big dip in the mosquito population.
Tourists are still coming. Bill Johnson, 47, a Minneapolis marketing manager who brings his two sons here every summer, didn't consider going elsewhere. "It's quiet, beautiful and there are plenty of things to do," he says. "That hasn't changed."
Business is down a bit at Rainbow Shores Bar & Grill on the edge of the Rainbow Flowage, says Lisa Busha, 43, who owns the isolated tavern with her husband Mark, 40. They estimate that the number of people fishing the reservoir has declined by half.
The drought is "very depressing," she says. "It's all anybody talks about. I think we've given up on water this season."
Ed Pleus, 65, a retired boat salesman who fishes daily, says the drought and recession have really hurt the area. On opening day of fishing this year, he counted 44 anglers at the spot he frequents. There are usually 55 or 65, he says.
"These are tough times," he says, "but I've seen it worse."
Wingo says his business is doing OK and the area's main attraction hasn't evaporated. "People," he says, "are still fishing."

I really want a Vita, but......
I just can't justify the purchase until I figure out whether or not I'll be able to use remote play for my PS3 games like Sony initially said I could. Does anyone have any idea whether or not remote play is going to be a go? All I hear about it is "more information to come soon...." Thats pretty frustrating to hear. Can anyone dig up anything more concrete than that?
Re: I really want a Vita, but......
Remote play was NEVER discussed as an option for the PS3. And those who say it was have NO idea what they are talking about. The ONLY thing that was promised was cross platform play between Vita and PS3 games such as MLB 2012. If you have the game on both systems then you can pick it up and play from where you left off on either system. THAT is what was promised. Anyone else who says otherwise is terribly mistaken.
So, you can stop waiting. Whether they allow this is the future remains to be seen but it was never on the table to begin with. And, if this is the only reason keeping you from getting the system then you truely are missing out on the greatest handheld experience ever. Your loss.
Re: I really want a Vita, but......
How do you explain this then?
Re: I really want a Vita, but......
You've got to be kidding me...... Ok, don't click the link. Just search "PS Vita Cross Play & Remote Play" into youtube and the second or third video down will be an ad put out BY SONY that talks about remote play and gives Killzone 3 as an example. Or don't, and just keep telling yourself that your baseless statement is a fact.
Re: I really want a Vita, but......
Oh, and this is a statement from the Vita FAQ on the official Playstation blog.
"Q: Is there a possibility of certain PS3 games using PS Vita as a second screen or peripheral at some point in the future?
A: Remote Play on PS Vita will allow you to see and control your PS3 from your PS Vita; we'll have further details to share in the future."
I'll leave a link for those of you who aren't terrified of clicking on it, unlike little Obiwan176 over here shaking in his boots. XD
Re: I really want a Vita, but......
Yeah, great.
But the PSP had the same thing "Can control your PS3 from the PSP"
Not once does it say on the FAQ that you will 100% be able to play actual PS3 games through Remote Play
Yes, we all know they demoed doing so with Killzone 3. But it's still up to Sony (And game devs) whether or not to implement said feature into their games.
The only way to do it right now is by hacking, which obviously is illegal.
If it does come, it'd come via firmware update.
I don't see how not being able to play PS3 games on the Vita doesn't "justify the purchase". It's a whole different system. It has its own games. PS3 games were meant to be played via an actual PS3.
If you're buying the Vita ONLY to play PS3 games "on the go", that's just dumb.
Re: I really want a Vita, but......
I can tell you for a fact that some PSN games work such as
Bionic Commando Reloaded
High Stakes Poker on the Vegas Strip
Pixel Junk Shooter
Just for examples of games I have tried myself...
What doesn't work right now is PS3 game discs (Which I would assume may be coming shortly)
What I hope they do is make us able to transfer games like the aboved mentions PSN Titles to our Vitas to play when we are on the "Go."
And our PSone/Ps2 games.
Hoped this helped..
Re: I really want a Vita, but......
They can't just make PSN games designed for PS3 WORK on the Vita.
Just Look at UMvC3.
It's a PS3 game. It's also a Vita game. But those that had the PS3 version couldn't just transfer it over. They had to re-buy it.
Games don't work that way, you can't just tweak one little thing to make a PS3 PSN game work on a Vita.
Re: I really want a Vita, but......
So basically your saying Sony is dumb enough to think that people are gonna go and buy
All their minis,psone classics,ps2 classics(if they come to vita), and PSN titles that were all downloaded from the playstation store all over again on the vita?
I have remote played the PSN games that i have downloaded and they work great no tweaks needed...
What i was saying is for example
I already bought Pixel Junk shooter on my ps3 system
They then go an make it avalible on the Vita...
I should just be able to redownload or transfer my already paid for content to my vita..
( I am not talking about disc based games being transfered not once did i say that im talking strictly Downloaded Games that are DLC)
If anyone buys something they already own for the vita I am sorry and not trying to be an asshole but their retarded

PARMA, Ohio (AP) — An inmate found dead in a suburban Cleveland jail last weekend likely died of natural causes.
Authorities say Dmitriy Frunza (deh-MEE'-tree FRUN'-zah) died in the Parma City Jail Sunday a day after he arrived at the facility following treatment for an undisclosed medical condition at a Cleveland area hospital.
Parma police Lt. Kevin Riley says federal privacy laws prohibit him from identifying the condition but says natural causes are suspected and not foul play or suicide.
Frunza was taken to jail because of two misdemeanor warrants. He was held in an observation cell for 14 hours Saturday, and then moved to his own cell.
Police said he was found dead about 9 a.m. Sunday but seemed fine just over an hour earlier. The Cuyahoga (ky-uh-HOH'-guh) County Medical Examiner is investigating.

For some reason Missourians (Who mostly also pronounce Missouri wrong) say 40 Highway for Highway 40. They also do this for the other numbered state and U.S. highways, e.g., 71 Highway, 50 Highway, 7 Highway, etc. I have no idea why they do this, and I have come across no other group who does this.

UPDATE 3-In split from SocGen, TCW's fortunes seen set to rise
By Greg Roumeliotis and Jessica Toonkel and Jennifer Ablan
(Adds details, figures from paragraph 3)
BEIRUT, April 18 Lebanon's Bank Audi reported a 9.5 percent drop in first-quarter net profit to $85.5 million from a year ago, weighed down by the costs of launching Turkish subsidiary Odeabank.
Adjusting the figures to exclude the impact of Odeabank, "Bank Audi would have recorded a net earnings growth of 5.9 percent, despite challenging domestic and regional operating conditions," the bank said on Thursday.
Customer deposits grew by $1.9 billion to $28.7 billion as the addition of the Turkish operations more than offset falls in neighbouring Syria, torn by civil war, and in Egypt, which is struggling economically after two years of political tumult.
The bank said it aimed to become an active player in Turkish banking, one of the few promising sectors in a region hit by the turmoil of the Arab uprisings.
Audi aims to set up a network of 100 branches in Turkey, which would make its operations there second only to its presence in Lebanon.
Consolidated net loans rose $1.2 billion to $11.6 billion, Audi said, while consolidated assets increased $2 billion to $33.3 billion. (Reporting by Dominic Evans; editing by Jane Baird)

text: 000 FXUS63 KMKX 220835 AFDMKX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI 335 AM CDT Mon May 22 2017 .Today and Tonight...Forecast Confidence is Medium... The upper low over southern Ontario will shift a little to the east today but leave behind an upper trough that extends back over MN. Meanwhile, a weak cold front will track across the Midwest. Ahead of this cold front, southwesterly flow will usher modest low-level moisture into northern IL and southern WI this afternoon. This moisture and the fairly steep mid level lapse rates will yield sufficient CAPE for thunderstorms late this afternoon into the early evening. SPC kept the portions of south central WI included the marginal risk for severe storms. This is mainly west of Madison and Janesville. The latest meso models suggest that thunderstorms might develop across northern IL around 4 to 5 pm today and track northeast through far southern WI until early evening. A few thunderstorms could be strong and one or two might produce a 60 mph wind or 1-inch hail. More showers with a few thunderstorms are possible along the cold front as it slides southeast through south central WI in the 6-8 pm time period. Instability will drop off overnight with the weaker surface and upper level flow approaching, so only a chance of showers. Highs today should get up to around 70 with a good amount of morning sunshine, gusty southwest winds and warm air advection. Overnight lows should remain elevated in the lower/mid 50s due to cloud cover and lingering showers within the warm sector of the system. .LONG TERM... Tuesday through Thursday...Forecast confidence is medium to high: An upper level low will slowly move through the area Tuesday and Wednesday. This will bring multiple rounds of showers to the forecast area. Left a slight chance of thunder in Tuesday afternoon per model instability. This pattern will result in mostly cloudy skies and more below normal temperatures for Tue/Wed. Should see a break in the precip on Thursday as the low pulls away. Looks like there could even be some sunshine. High temps are expected to be back near normal, except for cooler conditions near Lake Michigan. Friday through Sunday...Forecast confidence is medium: Warm advection with a passing shortwave will bring a chance for showers back into the area later Friday into Friday night. Could be a few rumbles of thunder too. Wet weather seems likely over the weekend as well as low pressure passes through. It probably won`t rain all weekend, but models aren`t in great agreement with the timing/placement of the low, so precip chances ended up being spread out through the weekend. Will probably see a few storms over the weekend too. Temps are expected to be back around normal for Friday through the weekend. && .AVIATION(06Z TAFS)... Some MVFR CIGS still linger over the area, mainly north of Milwaukee and Madison now, and they will continue to lift north tonight. VFR conditions will prevail into the early evening on Monday. However, a low pressure system and weak frontal boundary will push in from the west Monday afternoon and evening, bringing increasing clouds again along with a chance of showers and thunderstorms toward evening. Look for breezy southwest to west winds during the afternoon, ahead of the low. As the low moves overhead Monday night, the weak pressure pattern and increased moisture may lead to a quick development of MVFR then IFR CIGS/VSBYS during the late evening and overnight hours. && .MARINE... Gusty southwest winds are once again expected during the daytime heating hours this afternoon into the early evening. Gusts up to 25 knots are anticipated, so a Small Craft Advisory is in effect from noon to 9 pm. Highest waves will be toward the open waters. Brisk northeast winds will probably reach small craft advisory criteria on Wednesday. && .MKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WI...None. LM...Small Craft Advisory from noon today to 9 PM CDT this evening for LMZ643>646. && $$ Today/Tonight and Aviation/Marine...Cronce Tuesday through Sunday...DDV

Hey, since I was the reciement of some PIF goodness its my turn to send something on to the community. I have a Osprey Ceres 38 (large, orange) that I'm going to send to the first member who can give it a good home. This is a sick ski/alpine pack, great ski carry and was very happy with it on ice and rock. Used but lots of good miles ahead (and Ospreys great warente). Standard PIF rules apply (offer up something of value to someone else who could use it), but because of the size and bulk and the size and lack of bulk of my grad student wallet I'm going to ask that the recipient covers shipping.
Cheers, Rob

Former Raiders coach Lane Kiffin told a reporter on Tuesday that he plans to hold a press conference of his own on Wednesday regarding the termination of his employment.
Kiffin promised to address whether he was given a reason for the decision and, if so, what it was.
In our view, Kiffin needs to tread lightly. Anything he says can be used against him in the coming grievance to enforce the balance of his contract. Also, to the extent that he hopes to get another coaching job either in the NFL or at the college level, he needs to consider exercising some discretion. Prospective employers will be watching every move he makes, and they'll be determining based on his actions whether he sufficiently "gets it" to justify ever getting another crack at a high-profile job.
Former Raiders coach Lane Kiffin told a reporter on Tuesday that he plans to hold a press conference of his own on Wednesday regarding the termination of his employment.
luke65 says: Sep 30, 2008 4:04 PM
I don't see where Kiffin has much to worry about as to what he says. Anyone that knows what a football is, knows what Al Davis is. I think Goodell needs to have a serious talk to Davis and let him know the league doesn't appreciate being made to look bad.
Whoever the next real coach is would be wise to ask for a signing bonus like the players get before accepting any contract from Al. Shanahan never did get his money did he?
arosen36 says: Sep 30, 2008 4:05 PM
i hope he just goes off, al davis has that coming for all of his unreasonable firings over the years
arosen36 says: Sep 30, 2008 4:05 PM
was tom cable fired yet?
Klutch says: Sep 30, 2008 4:09 PM
I agree. Just set back and let Al Davis continue to make himself look like a fool and enjoy.
raiderclay says: Sep 30, 2008 4:11 PM
if i were Lane i'd do the same thing… i'm working in a disfunctional organization – my boss phones me and tells me i'm fired and i won't get paid the remaining THREE POINT FIVE MILLION that i'm owed on my contract… do i walk away quietly, or do i get up on a podium and tell the world what went on and why this place is a $h1tty place to work? hmmm… 3.5 MILLION… hmm….
Yep, i clear the comments with my legal team and i get up there and let loose. Al's hours of operations, how he manages a team, who is the GM, who calls the plays, how the draft gets done, who pulled the trigger on the big money deals in the offseason, everything…
if the boss has an issue with this, then he can fulfill his obligations on the contract…
go lane go… i'm sure the raiders will pick up and hopefully continue to slowly improve – but i wish you the best, and hope you get the last laugh during your comments tomorrow.
kellyb9 says: Sep 30, 2008 4:11 PM
I know everyone would love to see this guy rail against the organization, but it's a good thing he's giving this a day. If I was him, I would use the time to acknowledge the players and your staff. It would really be a class act on his part not to do what everyone wants him to do.
bloggersRstupid says: Sep 30, 2008 4:22 PM
What exactly is it that he needs to "get"? He owes the Raiders nothing. They owe him, in fact.
jbrown013 says: Sep 30, 2008 4:25 PM
Since the inevitable lawsuit will center around the terms of his termination, how can what Lane says about Al Davis and the org after said termination affect the (il)legaility of the Raiders action? I agree that it is probably in his best interest to play nice, but I don't see why he is under any legal obligation to act that way now.
Walrus says: Sep 30, 2008 4:25 PM
Having worked for and been fired by a dysfunctional manager who stiffed me on the way out, I can say from experience Kellyb9 is correct. But it is hard to do.
"living well is the best revenge."
wolfgang says: Sep 30, 2008 4:39 PM
"living well is the best revenge."
Actually, throwing someone into a live volcano is the best revenge, although putting piranha in their swimming pool ranks a close second.
cello says: Sep 30, 2008 4:42 PM
Whoo hoo!!
I hope Kifflin gives him what he deserves!!!
The old man doesn't know what he's doing, he's CRAZY!!!!!
He does this kind of crapp with every Coach he gets, he needs to wake up!!!!!!!
carterlovepie says: Sep 30, 2008 5:35 PM
Poor little Pinkus!
mekono says: Sep 30, 2008 9:11 PM
Talk about "get your popcorn".
Lane's biggest mistake was not having Drew as his agent!
Shackman says: Sep 30, 2008 10:13 PM
I'm with kellyb. good thing he waits a day to compose himself, maybe talk to a media consultant, acknowledge the players and staff for their valuable contributions and walks away with his dignity intact and his head held high.
empty13 says: Sep 30, 2008 10:50 PM
he has to, shack, to work in the nfl again. the club of owners is watching him to see just how humble he is. they dont mind that he does battle with al… they just dont want a repeat performance should they hire him later.
boron says: Oct 1, 2008 12:11 AM
Kiffin should become HC of the Chiefs…Then all AFC-West teams will be lead by ex-Raider [Al Davis] coaches!! LMAO!!!! And Davis will proclaim his skills in selecting coaches…….

Are You a Good Candidate for Power Assisted Liposuction?
posted on
Every surgeon uses different liposuction techniques to get rid of body fat permanently. Power assisted liposuction (PAL) is one of the most innovative fat removal procedures available in the United States and is often chosen by board-certified cosmetic and plastic surgeons to remove large volumes of body fat with ease. The procedure is less traumatic than traditional liposuction procedures, and offers a number of body contouring benefits.
Get in touch with plastic surgery doctors in your area to find out if you may be a good candidate for power assisted liposuction. Your surgeon can discuss the pros and cons of this procedure and find out what areas you want to target.
Best Candidates for Power Assisted Liposuction
Power assisted liposuction is designed to break down large fatty deposits in areas of the body that have become resistant to diet and exercise. The procedure can be performed on the hips, buttocks, thighs, stomach and back, and involves inserting a vibrating cannula into the tissues to loosen the fatty deposits for easy suctioning.
You may be a good candidate for power assisted liposuction if you:
- Are of a relatively healthy weight and in good health
- Are prepared to maintain a healthy diet and exercise regimen after the procedure
- Want a procedure that has a low risk of bleeding and bruising
- Can set aside some time off work to recover and heal from the procedure
- Have been struggling to lose weight through diet and exercise
Some surgeons use power assisted liposuction in conjunction with other liposuction techniques, such as SmartLipo and laser-assisted liposuction. This ensures maximum body sculpting benefits and can help to create your ideal silhouette.
Pros and Cons of Power Assisted Liposuction
Power assisted liposuction offers many benefits over conventional liposuction procedures, but there are also some drawbacks to keep in mind. The procedure is generally more targeted than conventional treatments, and can effectively remove both large and small fatty deposits. There is less risk of excessive bleeding and bruising because the surgeon has more control over the vibrating cannula. The procedure only requires very small incisions made in the skin, which means a fast healing time and less noticeable scars after the treatment.
Even with all of its benefits, power assisted liposuction does have a higher rate of complications than other types of liposuction techniques. The procedure does not tighten the skin like laser-assisted liposuction can because there is no heat energy emitted into the tissues. If the surgeon does not use the correct techniques or does not have enough experience, there may be lumps and bumps left under the skin and a second procedure may be required to smooth out the tissues.
Learn more about the latest liposuction techniques in our information guide, or consult with a plastic surgeon in your area to find out if you may be a good candidate for the power assisted liposuction procedure.

Birds: Gaebrille recounts a previous herald
Originally posted by Longsword on March 11th, 2009
Roy sighed, drinking down the bottle of tea and tossing it into a nearby trash bin as they walked. He continually readjusted his backpack until he had finally found a comfortable position. It had become slightly heavy with the amount of snacks and canned drinks (he couldn't drink tea all the time), along with the medications for Duke and Spark and Daemon's Pokemon if they needed them.
"So...your real name's..."
"Don't say it."
"Alright, alright," Roy shrugged. "I just wanted to get a conversation started."
Roy thought for a moment as a thought of work passed through his head.
"Crud, I forgot about work..."
"Oh, yeah. I forgot I have a crapload of vacation time because they never compensated me after you broke my leg and arm."
"This Pichu broke your leg?" Daemon inquired.
"Funny story. See, I work at the Terrut Opera House, and this lady, Madame Frenchypants...or whatever her name was was preforming that night."
"'Frenchypants'? You're kidding me."
"I prefer the sound of the orchestra over the opera, if that makes any sense. Anyway, I was running the lights and sound system backstage as usual," Roy began to explain, then turning to Spark, who nervously looked to Duke. "Then that little squirt popped out of an air vent on top of me, made me screw up the controls, and then decided to go down my hoodie."
Daemon blinked, then asked, "You wore a hoodie to a formal performance?"
"Ah. Remember, I work backstage. No one sees me, and my boss really doesn't care. Anyway, I began freaking out, and so did everyone else, because the lights went nuts. I appeared on stage screaming because there was a Pichu in my hoodie randomly shocking me. I tripped over several of the stage props and eventually off the stage, breaking my leg in two places and arm in one in the process because I fell in the orchestra pit."
"You have bad luck."
"Well, at first, everyone thought the show was ruined, but my boss got word that because of my expense, everyone expected to come back for the subsequent performances," Roy shrugged. "And, Spark became a new addition to the family."

earworms MBT announced UK's Export Business of the Year
Earworms MBT' accelerated language learning technique continues to make music, as company wins prestigious international trade and industry award for its export success
earworms MBT was founded in 2004 by the two brothers, following Marlon's experiences as a language tutor. Teaching the vagaries of the English language to Japanese students, he would sometimes play his guitar to lift the mood. He soon realised his pupils found the 'memory hook' of a rhythm made the repetition and intonation of new words more memorable and helped reinforce useful words and phrases deep in the subconscious mind. Easy to understand, easy to reinforce and easy to recall, music seemed to trigger instant results for the students, who were not only learning a new, foreign language, but also enjoying the process at the same time.
A successful grant application by Andrew to develop this 'musical memory concept' resulted in a studio conversion in the family house and the earworms recording studio was ready to begin making music.
The technique, known as accelerated language learning through music, quickly became a no 1 best seller on iTunes USA audible books. In addition to selling direct from the company website, earworms created strategic partnerships with major international publishing houses such as Berlitz and Langenscheidt. Understanding the value and power of harnessing state of the art digital media, and developing its technologies in partnership with organisations such as Apple and Android, the company has maintained its industry edge in the form of MP3 downloads and Applications.
Andrew, earworms' ceo, said "this award is very important to us – it provides recognition that our strategy was correct and the energy we have put into the business was well invested. We have ambitious plans to extend the range and depth of our courses and also to have a version for schools. We think language learning should be fun and natural and we are delighted to find so many people agree."
The earworms course is currently available in 23 languages including Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Chinese (Mandarin), Russian, Portugese, Greek, Cantonese and Dutch. The multi based language training is offered in different combinations and the company already has a strong presence in Europe, USA, Australia, New Zealand and the Middle East. The themes follow closely the Common European Framework for language learning, a recognised benchmark of language proficiency, and earworms is focused on teaching language that is useful to the learner.
In the award ceremony, Lord Green emphasised that "language is essential for international trade and understanding of different cultures; earworms has proved that it is possible for anyone to grasp sufficient basics of a foreign language to build a rapport with local people."
Andrew added "Given that the Minister is himself an accomplished linguist, this was definitely music to our ears".
The UKTI International Trade Awards are sponsored by Santander and Eversheds and recognize export success.

Microsoft has finalized Windows 7 RTM
Windows 7 is complete. Microsoft has announced that the operating system has reached RTM status. So the way for an October 22 release is all clear.
Microsoft has confirmed the finalization of windows 7. The new operating system has reached the important RTM status after three years in development and is delivered to Microsoft's partners. Windows 7 will be available on the retail market on October 22, 2009.
Microsoft hops that thus the time of the unpopular Windows Vista is over. During the development of Windows 7 Microsoft was able to meet all deadlines and received positive feedback from testers and reviewers during early stages. Expectations are high and it seems like Microsoft can satisfy them with Windows 7. Even the Release Candidate, which was publicly available, convinced in matter of usability and performance.
Furthermore Microsoft has noted that the program code of windows 7 has not been changed since July 13. The time was used for extensive tests and final bug searches. The mood in the Redmond headquarters is said to be relaxed - this hadn't been the case back then when windows Vista was released. Microsoft will ship Windows 7 with the final Build 7600.16385.

Tuesday Inspiration - I Hope It's Yours, Too!

About Tuesday Inspiration
The Tuesday Inspiration? began in 2009 when two PB members started setting each other a challenge on a? Tuesday. Very soon afterwards, it was decided to open this up to other PB members, followed by the idea that we should not reveal what the subject is, so that other members could compare how different members view a single theme. The Tuesday Inspiration is not a contest or a challenge, but a group of people all agreeing to post their interpretation of a single theme on Tuesdays. Each week, one of the contributors sets the theme. There are now over 40 members contributing to the TI. We have only two ??rules?: don??t include the subject in the TI title or tags and please comply with standard PB guidelines on courtesy, etc. If you would like to take part, please contact Helen (girafferacing [photoblog.com]).

Falling Grace
Angels fall from heaven,
No longer fit to serve.
A bit like old army men, cast out
Without the respect they deserve.
So maybe we've been a bit blindsided,
Ignoring our blessings of the people
Who'd risk their lives to save us.
And we forget our daily angels,
Weakened men and women,
Who are no one's first priority.

Scary Mary & the Nightmares Nine
Written by Amy Escobar and Directed by Eddie DeHais
When a drop of Mary's blood falls down down down to the center of the Earth, something Evil and Ancient wakes up in the shadows, and now the horrors of the dark have a taste for her. Mary must go on an epic quest through the Nightmares Nine to make a potion to put The Slither back to sleep and save her soul from his gnashing teeth. Scary Mary and the Nightmares Nine is a hilarious and hallucinatory fairy tale that creeps, crawls, and catapults its way through the bizarre landscape of the imagination as Mary fights for her very life amidst the ever-encroaching darkness.
