-The Luckiest
Part Five
"And I know that I am, I am
I am the luckiest."
It's bliss, those few minutes he spends kissing Tori Vega. For that short space of time, there is no Rex in the backseat. There isn't a bad person trapped inside of him. Tori tastes like Tori, and his hands are on her waist, just like they were the first time, except Tori's not drunk and Robbie's not scared. She's here because she wants to be - because she chose to be. She chose him. She chose him, and that rattles his brain with the magnitude of earthquakes. He can feel tremors in his toes.
They pull back to breathe. Robbie's eyes flutter open to watch Tori's tongue resting on her lower lip, cheeks flushed. She's beautifully breathless, the hand that had been holding Robbie's cheek falling on the console between them. Her eyes open slowly, brown irises blown wide by her pupils. She smiles. She laughs. Robbie laughs, too, his hand crooking over his mouth to muffle the sound. Tori's eyes water, arms wrapping around her stomach as she falls against the passenger seat because it is funny, really. A boy like him with a girl like her. It's hysterical.
Several minutes pass before either of them can breathe normally. Robbie's hand falls atop hers, the warm, tan skin blazing under his pale palm. His thumb brushes against her, eyes resting nervously on the crooked lines of his knuckles. It's then he's made aware of Rex in the backseat, catching the doll's blue, painted eyes in his peripherals. His breath stills, turning away from Tori to stare at him, expecting some kind of remark, some whiplash for kissing Tori. Something like wow you're a horrible kisser or she looks completely disgusted or you're such a piece of shit for even touching her or -
But there's nothing. There's just a doll sitting there in silence, drooped against the backseat. Tori follows his gaze, twisting slightly to perch her elbow on the console. The two stare at the puppet for a few moments, the sun slipping slowly under the horizon in the back window of Robbie's car.
"I used to have this imaginary friend," Tori says, with the slightest squeeze on Robbie's hand. "Her name was Gabby. I remember I used to buckle her in the car, save a seat for her at dinner, make room on my bed for her at night - everything." Her head falls against the rest on the top of the seat. Robbie's eyes glue themselves to the frown ghosting over her lips. "If I ever did something I wasn't supposed to, like eat a cookie before dinner or spill paint on the table or something like that, I would blame her. I told my parents they couldn't get mad at me because it wasn't me who did it, it was Gabby. And it made me feel less guilty, you know?"
Robbie's eyes are on the doll again. He takes a deep breath through his nose and lets it out, slow and easy, before his eyes fall closed. Memories project themselves against the lids like an old movie, visions of him holding Rex while the puppet spewed venom at a smaller, younger kid in the lunch line in elementary school. He sees Rex convincing him to throw stones at one of his neighbor's cars, kicking down someone's Christmas decorations - it did make him feel better by being disconnected from the violence, from the wrong. When he told Tori he had never done anything illegal, it was true, at least to him. Rex did the illegal things. Robbie was just the puppet.
Robbie is Rex's puppet.
Robbie's free hand presses against his forehead. "Tori." Her name is crushed as it pushes out of his lips, like it hurts. "In the restaurant, you said ... you said you would tell me what you thought of yourself." Maybe he was just trying to get off of the subject - he didn't want Rex ruining his evening without him even saying anything. He lowers his hand to stare at her, but she's facing the window, eyes on the school. The silence stretches so long between them it's almost like an actual distance, the boy rubbing the back of his neck and blabbering on - "Because I don't see how you can think of yourself as anything but perfect because you're so kind and sweet and talented and beautiful and -"
"I feel like I cheated."
Robbie wasn't expecting that. Not that he really knew what he was expecting, exactly, but it certainly wasn't that. His dark brows knit over his nose as he looks at her again, the girl now facing the windshield. Her fingers twist in her lap.
"Yeah." She gives a slow nod. "I mean, my sister worked to get into Hollywood Arts. I know she's kind of stuck-up and pretty full of herself, but she's not in a prestigious art school for nothing." Tori sinks in the passenger seat, the hills of her knees denting. "And you guys - all of you, Andre, Cat, Beck - you all worked so hard to get where you are now and I just..." Her hand waves a little bit. "I just kind of fell into it and it doesn't seem fair. I feel like I cheated, like I took the easy way. It makes me want to quit sometimes because I don't feel like I've done anything to earn all of this."
"All of what?" Robbie studies her through the dark, trying to understand how she could have even the slightest negative thought about herself. To him, he was the luckiest guy just by being in the same car as her, the same school, the same state, and knowing that she gave him even a sliver of her time absolutely astounded him.
"Hollywood Arts. My new friends." She smiles. It's soft and delicate, like flower petals as she looks up at him again. "You."
The rush of blood to his cheeks is probably at an unhealthy level. Steaming, Robbie turns away, staring down into his lap. "Tori," he starts, only to falter, taking a deep breath to try again. "Tori, you're - perfect sounds ... cliche, I know, but ..." He waves his hands for emphasis, still blushing. "Just because we went to Hollywood Arts and Hollywood Arts came to you doesn't mean you're less talented than us."
"But I didn't even want this until it stumbled on me. I was going to be - jeez, I don't know, a nurse or a dentist or something. It never even occurred to me and I feel ..." She drifts, shaking her head. "Sorry, Robbie, I don't mean to throw this all on you like this -"
"No, it's fine." It is. Robbie can't remember the last time anyone trusted him like this, even dared to open up and share something so personal. The words sound raw and he just knows that Tori hasn't talked to anyone else like this before, hasn't told anyone the way she feels about Hollywood Arts. "Tori, you're really talented. You're a great singer and a great actress and Hollywood Arts is lucky to have you. Sometimes things just ... play out like this, you know? I don't think you should feel bad for how you got to Hollywood Arts. I think you should just be grateful that you did. Because otherwise we wouldn't've -" Robbie stops, his hand rubbing at his neck again, shifting his nervous gaze to the steering wheel. "We wouldn't've met."
Tori's hand finds his again. She holds it in silence, the sun descending behind them, Sherwood High in front. The quiet isn't awkward; it sits comfortably between them, a warm blanket on a cool evening. Rex is silent in the backseat, Robbie's eyes briefly meeting his in the mirror. For once in his life, Robbie challenges him. He dares Rex to say anything cruel about Tori, about himself. He doesn't want to be a bad person, he doesn't want to sincerely believe that someone like Rex is truly a part of him - a part he can't control.
She looks at him, a smile on her face, and she's so pretty in the waning sunlight that it's all Robbie can do to keep talking.
"What if I'm a bad person?"
Tori's face doesn't change. She keeps smiling at him, keeps holding his hand. She even leans closer, over the console of the car. Frozen, Robbie's eyes flutter closed as her lips meet his cheek, planting a ghost of a kiss just below his eye.
"Everyone can be a bad person, Robbie." She leans back, head back on the rest of the passenger seat. "Everyone has bad parts about them." The dark circles of her eyes turn toward the backseat, where the limp, lifeless Rex stares at them. With her eyes on him, she continues - "But they're not all of us, not if we don't let them. You have a choice, you know."
Slowly, he turns. He meets Rex's eyes. "Ventriloquism is supposed to be my talent. Making dolls talk without moving my lips was my ticket into Hollywood Arts. But I like singing and acting, too. I don't want to be tied to him for the rest of my life."
"You don't have to be."
He smiles, and it finally feels like he's genuinely smiling. There are no strings. No puppeteer. Just him. He looks at her again, her teeth buried in her lower lip, and he's so overwhelmed with the urge to kiss her, so he does, one hand cupping her cheek as he closes his mouth over hers. Her breath comes out of her nose in warm, choppy exhales, and under his mouth he can feel the muscles of her lips tensing in an attempt to both smile and kiss at the same time. And he feels it, under his skin, in his bones, setting the strings that have been controlling him his entire life starting to blacken and loosen. This isn't an overnight thing, going from a puppet to a real boy, but Tori's made of fireworks and Robbie has faith.
"As much as I'm enjoying myself, it's nine fifty and my dad is a cop and has a gun."
"Getting shot is not in my repertoire." But he kisses her for just a few minutes longer, tasting her for real this time.
They sing with the windows down on the way back to Tori's house, just barely over the speed limit, because really, Robbie has no plans to make his relationship with Tori's father a bad one, now that she's - he swallows thickly. Girlfriend sounds so strange when it's not a title in a script with some poor girl forced to play his significant other. It's actually, well, significant, because she's not acting here. She's just Tori, and he's Robbie, and finally, that feels like a good thing.
The car idles in her driveway as he insists she stay put, ducking out of the seat to run around to her side. She's laughing and blushing, which Robbie finds incredible, as he takes her hand and shuts the car door behind her. She stays close to him as they walk toward their door, Rex slumped in the backseat, out of sight, out of mind.
"My sister was right," Tori says, squeezing their entwined fingers as she leans close to him. "You are a good kisser."
Robbie grins, his cheeks pink. "Rex was wrong."
"Oh?" Her right brow perks.
"You do like me."
Tori's smile softens, giving him a slow but firm nod. "Yes, I do. You should listen to yourself more often and not him so much."
"I'll work on it."
He kisses her once more before she slips inside, waving slender fingers at him. He takes a deep breath when the door clicks closed, swinging his leg over the porch step and moving back to his car. The smile on his face feels strange and unfamiliar, but certainly not unwelcome. He traces it with his fingertip as he slides back into the drivers seat, eyes automatically drawn to the mirror.
This will not end well, the puppet says, motionless. It scares Robbie for a few seconds, his throat tight and his hands in fists on his knees. His eyes turn to Tori's house, the windows warm with yellow light, and he licks his lips and she's still there, a stamp.
"You're wrong," he says aloud, and the puppet doesn't reply as he drives home.
A/N: ...And scene!
I'm sorry this last installment took so long - I burned my hand and was unable to type/do much of anything for several days. I hope you enjoyed the story! There may be more Rori in the future.

New Delhi, Mar 10 (UNI) The CPI (M) today held a demonstration against the attack on its headquarters, allegedly by BJP-RSS workers yesterday which left scores of people injured.
Several CPI(M) cadres gathered at Jantar Mantar here this morning with placards condemning the attack. Shouting slogans, they demanded stern action against the BJP and RSS for the attack on A K Gopalan Bhawan. The demonstrators also charged the police with inaction.
Some of those injured in yesterday's violence were also part of the demonstration.
A large contingent of police was deployed to avert any fresh violence.
Twelve persons owing allegiance to the RSS and the BJP were detained for the attack on the CPM headquarters. The attack was in retaliation for bloody clashes between workers of the two outfits in Kerala last week.

Chapter SeventeenMature
When Alex got to the platform of his treehouse, it was quiet, but a good quiet. He hadn't been here for a couple days, the longest period of time he had been away from it since moving in. The south side of the building was poorly patched from the years of wear and tear. His workmanship had improved as he aged, but the south side would forever be scared from the beginning when he had moved into the house with his dad.
"Alex." His dad said, speaking to him for the time in several hours, the time it had taken them to drive to the new place. "I'm going to find the grocery store. You can start unpacking."
"Okay daddy." Alex said
He was young and short, his white hair was cropped short, but still managing to stick out at random, his checks were natural flushed. The large pieces of furniture was already in place in the correct rooms and Alex, who had packed everything away in boxes and labelled them with the room they belonged to in his messy hand writing, had an easy time unpacking everything. In his closet his discovered a crawl way in the back corner that lead to a secret room, covered in faded red wallpaper and a small round window in the top wall of his reach. A secret room –something he had always wanted and finally got, just not in the way he expected.
After a few hours his dad still hadn't come back, so Alex went into the backyard to explore. There was no fence, which was a great disappointment to him, since he wouldn't be able to have a puppy if there wasn't a fence. A large tree in the yard looked inviting, as he looked around it, bare feet on the dry grass, he spotted a rope ladder dangling down out of sight from the back door and kitchen window. Looking up, the tree just seemed to tower over him, bending over to squash him as a moment's notice. Never one to be daunted by such things, Alex began to climb hand over hand and foot over foot by rickety rung making his way up.
At the time there was nothing but the platform, it was sturdy enough and made of rough wood, but it was well constructed. Standing on the platform Alex's could picture in his overactive imagination the castle he could built with his dad. There would be stairs and rooms and he if he could convince his dad to build it for him. After everything that has happened over the last few years, this could be a welcome break from reality, something positive to turn their attention and efforts into. The sound of a car pulling up send him climbing down the ladder excited to tell his dad about what he had found in the backyard.
"Hi daddy!" Alex squeaked running up to greet his dad, a huge smile painted on his face "Did you found the grocery store?"
"No, Alex, I didn't." He dad said feeling tired. It would be one of the last times he would call his son by his name "Did you di as I asked and unpacked everything?"
"I did." Alex proudly said, walking into the house ready to show off his hard work.
For years Alex had been organizing and cleaning the house, since his mum was sick so often, that it wouldn't have been done otherwise, so he knew where everything went and were it was meant to be, just like it was in the old house. He loved the way it turned out and couldn't wait for his dad to see it.
"What have you done?" his dad asked, freezing in the living room, his voice was a dangerously quiet and calm.
"I… I unpacked." Alex told him, confused, pushing his hair out of his face for the first time, not knowing that he was forming a habit.
The living room looked warm and inviting, pictures were placed around the room, a light brown throw rug was tossed artfully over the chocolate coloured leather sofa.
"No!" his dad screamed, causing Alex to jump back in freight, his dad had never yelled at him like that before "I told you to get rid of these! I never want to see those pictures again… don't you get that? It's bad enough that you're still around… I don't need more remainders of them, I don't want to see them everywhere I walk. That's why we moved!"
"I'm sorry." Alex cried, he didn't know why his dad was so upset. After all… he missed his sister and mum as well… but he loved looking at their pictures and being able to see what Seana Oceana Foster and Arianna Noelle Foster looked like… to just have proof that they were real and they livid. "I'll put them away."
"You do that." His dad nodded, his sudden fit of rage seeming to pass as quickly as it had come "I'm going to bed. Good night."
Alex shrugged to himself and went about removing all of the photos of his family, putting them back into their boxes and then hiding them in his secret red room. Turning on the light switch, the first thing he did was hang a black towel over the window, balancing precariously on an old dresser as he did. Hanging the pictures up and arranging the frames around the room, creating his own hidden shrine of memoires.
"I don't get it." Alex whispered to himself, because they was no one to listen, not even the moon since he blocked out its warm glow with a towel "I don't understand why daddy doesn't want to see the pictures, I thought he loved mummy and sissy."
With his dad's harsh and cruel words replaying in his mind over and over again until he feel asleep there in the red room, curled up in the floor, wishing that they never moved into this new house and knowing that his dad wouldn't want to do anything with him… not anymore.
"Are you okay?" Tia asked, as she joined him in his sanctuary "I'm sorry if you want to be alone, I was just worried and needed to check up on you. It makes me nervous… having you this close to where he lives and not having you in sight."
"You know… my dad, he wasn't always like this." Alex said, still studying the south wall.
"I'm sure he wasn't." Tia practically said "However… he's like this now, and that's what matters the most at the moment."
"He used to be kind."
"You just used a past tense there Alex." Tia gentle said, she knew they were walking on fragile ground "How long has it been since he's done something kind for you or to you."
"That doesn't matter."
"How long?"
"Since we moved here… he's been different."
"Then you know what you should do. He's had he's time and he's chance to change and now you owe him nothing. It's for the best and it's time for you to let him go, because he's not your dad anymore. You have to let him go."
"It's not that simple. It's never that simple."
"No… it's incredible simple. What I think you mean is it's never that easy. It's never going to be easy, he's still the one who helped create you, he's all you've known as a dad… but Alex you deserve better than what he's become and what he's given you."
Alex sighed, the fight was visible leaving his body as his shoulders slumped down, because deep down in his soul and his hear, he knows that Tia is right…. But that didn't make it hurt any less and it will never make it hurt any less.

I signed up for an internet offer of the eye cream by Eyepothsis. This was an 8 day trial for the price of shipping. I called to cancel the account on the 7th day. The next day I was charged the full price of $78.41 for the trial. They say I didn't cancel in enough time so, the charge was for the 30 day supply I had received.
I am so angry at this out-right scam! As a consumer I feel totally violated for trusting a company to say and do the right thing.
I don't want the product. They wouldn't tell me how to send it back. All they would say is I won't get my money back. I can't believe how rude the customer service rep was. I'm not loaded with money. $78.00 is a lot of money and I feel this company just stole it from me. Enough with these fine print scams.

Grub-Street Journal (Newspaper) - September 17, 1730, London, Middlesex The Grub-ftreet Journal. NuMi 37 C&urtfiap, set.tember i7, 1730. . Stat contra ratio, &f fecretam garrit in aurem, Neliceatfacere id, auod qitis-viliabit agendo, Perfc The following Letter coming from a learned Correfpon-dent, I could not forbear talcing the firft opportunity of printing it : tho' I mutt own; I entirely differ from my Friend's opinion. I cannot but think that thefc Profe Tranflations ought by all means to be encouraged, as the moft probable way of reducing the moft Parnaf-fian Authors to the profoundeil Grubbifm. Bavius. Bavius, HERE is a fort of Books now a days, that I can't account for, nor fee the ufe � of them. I mean Tranflations of Greek and Latin Poets into Engli/b Profe. The humour fpreads, and we have had Sophocles, Horace, Perftus, and others very lately, not only in englijb, but in proje. I fliould not believe there could poffibly exift fuch auk-ward wrong-headed fcholars, if I had 'em not before my eyes. Perhaps as 'tis now the fafhion for us to imitate and follow the Trench whitherfoevcr they have a mind to lead us, fo in this matter alfo we are treading their footfteps. They have translated, I believe, all the Greek and Latin Poets into french profe. Poor Milton him-felf has not efcaped their hands. Is it not agreed \>y all readers, that 'tis not fo much the noble thoughts and fine fentiments, which arc better fought for in Philofophers and Moralifts, as the fonorous numbers, the (mart and magnificent diction that make a Poet valuable? What then do thefe people mean by tranflating a fine Poet into mean creeping profe ? They debafe and btxrlefque him without doubt. Let any man read an act ia the'new Sophedes* and he will immediately cry out, Is this the famous Sophocles ! What abominable fluff is here ! And yet I am told, that Mr. Theobald has a tranflation of even JEfchylus himfelf, whether in profe or verfe I don't know, ready for the prefs.; not deterr'd by the ill fuccefs his Arijlophanes had, and although he has people's money in his pocket for his Emendations of Shakefpear. But I ought to add indeed, that I hear he-intends to give us the text of. Shakefpear as well as notes, as foon as he can bring matters to bear ; a work his very enemies will, I believe, allow him to. be capable of. A great deal might be faid to fhew the abfolute unpro-fitablenefs and abfurdity of tranflating Poets into Profe j but I think there's no manner of occafion for it: and yet they find buyers, particularly Dr. Dunfter's Horace, of which I fee a fourth Edition. Becaufe I had a mind to write to you upon this fubject, I dipp'd firft into the Horace, then the Perfius. Hor. Ep. Lib. i, 12. laft verfe aurea fruges Italiae pleno defundit copia cornu is thus tranflated, we have here in Italy a very plentiful barveft. This isfermoni propiora with a vengeance. That fine line, Quem fcis immunm Cinarae placuuTe rapaci. The covetous Cinara entertained me gratis. Romse nutriri mihi contigit, atque doceri, Iratus Graiis quantum nocuiffet Achilles / was educated at Rome, where I read Homer's Iliads. Does this movere bilem or jocum, or both; as Horace fays of the Imitatores fervum pecus ? But the Tranflator of Perfius is more diverting. I will Write down a few lines, from which the motto is taken, with his verfion. Difce: fed ira cadat nafo, rugofaque farina, Dum veteres avias tibi de pulmone revello. Non Pnetoris erat fluids dare tenuia rerum OfHcia, atque ufum rapids permittere vita;. Sambucam citius caloni aptaveris alto. Stat contra ratio, & fecretam garrit in aurem, Ne liceat facere id, quod quis vitiabit agendo. Publica lex hominum, naturaque continet hoc fas, Ut teneat vetitos infeitia debilis actus. Perf. Sat. 5, 91. Behold the tranflation ; c Oh, learn ; but be not dng^y, nei-* ther laugh wr jeeryv/hm 1pull away old wife's tales ' from your heart. It was not in the Prastor's power to * inflill fublime thoughts into filly Ideots, or make them ' fquare their lives by the rule of reafon---no; you c fhali fooner teach a foldier's boy to play on the dulcimer. ' Reafon contradict?, and fecretly whifpers him in the ear, ' (whom ? thefoldierj boy?J that he mould not ftrivc to ' do that which even any one fha.ll fpoil in attempting to ' effect it. The publick law of man and nature compre-' hends this folid right, that they deny weak inept igno-' ranee the* privilege to try forbidden things. O ! hominem infelicem Jludiorum I Befides the vile paltry language of this tranflation, a fchool boy would defcrve to be whipp'd for conftruing it fo ; and yet the Editor fays 'tis for the ufe of fchools. Perfius for the ufe of fchools f an author the moft unfit for fchools of any now extant in any language. He might as well have tranflated Lyc-ophron for 'em. But, Sir, there's another thing which deferves your animadverfion ; that is, Tranflations of profe authors into verfe. This indeed, is not fo common, nor fo abfurd. I have by me Epidtetus in Latin verfe, and a great part of the Bible. Nonnus, a Chriftian Poet about Theodofius's time, turned the Gofpel of John, which is writ with all the plainnefs and fimplicity imaginable, into extravagant bombaft, worfe if poffible than his own Dionyfiacs. We have had the hiftory of the wrorld in Hexameter and Pentameter by a Dr. in Divinity, and the Englifh Hiftory in Doggrel, and may poffibly in a little time fee' Tillotfon's Sermons in Heroics for the ufe of fchools; with full as much reafon as we have Horace's fermones in profe- But what frightens me moft is j I am told a certain Gentleman has put Thucydides into englifh verfe: and becaufe that noble Author writes fhort and clofe, he d- jns to lengthen him out into 24 Books, juft as many as Homer's I lias has', for, he fays, he can make a whole Book of one of Pericles's fpeeches. For this laborious work he expect great encouragement, ana a numerous iubfeription, at z guineas ; half to be paid atfubferibing. This puts me in mind of what I heard one fay the other day, that furely Terence would be much more read and admired if he was done well into Heroic verfe; that Iambics and Trochaics were crabbed and unharmonious, little underftood or tailed, notwithllanding the labours of Bifhop Hare or Mailer Bentley. Thefe things, Mr. Bavius, deferve your cenfure and correction. Yours, B. T. , The following Letter was received juft after the publication of our 34th Journal. SIR, AS your laft Letter, being an Extract from the Hifto-rical--Memoirs of Dr. Clarke, concludes, with Sir Ifaac Newton's obfervation relating to Dr. Bentlefs and Bifhop Hare's fighting about a Play-Book, (which fays Mr. Whifton, very juftly, is a Reproach upon them, their holy Religion, and holy function, plainly intolerable:) In Juftice both to Sir Ifaac Newton and Mr. Whifton, your next Journal fhould find a Place for the inebfed Seffion of Criticks. It is the Performance of the late ingenious Mr. William Pattifon of Sidney Coll. Camb. who fent a Copy of it to Sir Ifaac, which might probably occafion that great Man's Remark above-mentioned. I hope you will not reject it, becaufe the Author was not a Member of your Society ; he was, it mull be con-feffed, a Parnaffian ; and, almoft, the only modern Author . inrolled in the Dunciad. He died of the fmall-pox in the 21ft year of his Age : his Poetical Works are printed in twoiolumes, octavo, but this Seffion, &c. was never yet made public. I am, Sir, yours, &c. Philomusus. A S E S SIO N of the Cambridge Criticks. OLD Zoilas, the fou reft Dame Critic e bore, The pedantic, dull Spawn of a Billingfgate Whore, Was lately by Momtis deputed to fettle, Who fhould wear the long-fcolded-for Chaplet of Nettle. 2. Down he flew to Trin. Coll. and the Library fought, To be near his own B - - was ever his thought; With a fnarl of Difdain left the Chappel behind him, For That was a Place where he ne'er hop'd to find him. With his Chaps full of Worm-wood he mounted his Throne Of Worm-eaten Parchments, illegible grown ; A tough Crab-tree Cudgel for a Sceptre he waves* And halloos, Heus, horfum, adefle ye fLves. 4- B- firft was expected, but did not appear* For h'ad order'd his Delegate Frog to declare, That, to work up Dean H-, was his prefent employ, And he vow'd he'd ne'er mix with the fcrub U xoaaoi.

Piccolo watched as a disheartened Son Goku knelt on the sand of the small beach clutching his ribs.
"Goku, you're in no shape to go off and fight this guy." the small bald student of Muten Roshi said as Son Goku struggled to lift himself from the sand.
"I-it's just a couple of cracked ribs, and I have to. I have to get my son back." Son Goku gasped as he finally rose to his feet.
"I've got it!" Bulma Briefs said.
"Got what?" Muten Roshi asked.
"How Goku could get his son back without fighting that Raditz guy." Bulma Briefs replied.
"How?" Muten Roshi's bald student asked.
"You know how he said that he wanted 100 dead bodies piled up here by noon?" Bulma Briefs said.
"I'm not going to kill a hundred innocent people!" Son Goku yelled.
"Who said anything about innocent?" Bulma Briefs shot back.
Emperor Pilaf swallowed and moved towards the nightstand where he kept his weapon. He had awakened to find the bane of his existence Son Goku in his room looking at him in a guilty and almost sick manner.
"I'm sorry Mr. Pilaf, but you're the 100th most evil person on the planet." the brat who was now a man said.
There was a flash of light, utter darkness, then he found himself standing in a line between a pair of fluffy white clouds.

Jaguar car, truck, or SUV owners have become used to a certain level of sporty handling when driving their XK8 around town. You purchased your XK8 because its a reputation for performance and European styling struck a chord inside you; so why would you be okay with second best when it comes to great quality auto parts? The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to all the cars, trucks, and SUVs in today's marketplace. Make no mistake, you bought your XK8 because you knew that you wanted long-lasting quality and dependability both impeccably combined into one automobile.
Your engine can totally break down from lack of lubrication; resulting in intense friction and heat. The moments where your engine's main caps meet the crankshaft are where all the friction and heat come from, which is why you will find your Jaguar XK8 main bearings there. These main bearings are made from a composite metal called Babbitt (iron, zinc, copper, aluminum, and more), which is just slightly softer than the forged or cast crankshaft and the main caps in your Jaguar XK8. Most bearings are cast with lubrication channels, so friction and heat are minimized as the main bearings protect your internals for, hopefully, the life of your car or truck.
Ordering new Jaguar parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are getting the best deal on the most superior original and aftermarket replacement XK8 parts on the internet. Given all the hassles associated with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the first place you go to make purchasing it easy. Trust in the value of the parts you get from carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. Need 2000 Jaguar XK8 Main Bearing Set parts? We've got them right here.

Intrathecal baclofen therapy (ITB Therapy) is a treatment that may relieve some of the symptoms of severe spasticity.
Depending on your specific condition, ITB Therapy may impact your severe spasticity in different ways. Treatment may be even more effective when used in combination with physical, occupational, or speech therapy.
Detail - Pump and catheter placement
ITB therapy uses a surgically implanted programmable pump and catheter that delivers medication which helps relieve severe spasticity caused by cerebral palsy. This medication is a liquid form of baclofen that goes directly into the intrathecal space where fluid flows around the spinal cord.
Because baclofen is delivered directly to where it's needed most, in the intrathecal space of the spinal cord, it relieves spasticity with smaller amounts of medication than when baclofen is taken orally. This method of delivery may help minimise side effects that can result from oral baclofen.

Washington Spenders Flunk Basic Math
Issa: Raising Taxes Won't Avoid Fiscal Cliff. This isn't about fairness and unfairness. It's about taxing and spending, and the federal government has spent enough.
"Lingering Questions on Benghazi" in Foreign Policy
Americans deserve the full truth, writes Issa: "When the sworn testimony of State Department officials is undercut by an independent review like the ARB's, it damages the reputation and credibility of the State Department as a whole. Until the full truth about the security failures in Benghazi finally sees the light of day, questions will continue to be raised and the process of learning from this tragedy will be hindered by the petty secrets the State Department has deemed too sensitive to ...
Fiscal Cliff? No, It's A Tax Mountain
Issa: "When you break it down, it's pretty simple. Next month, everyone's taxes will go up. Republicans in Congress are fighting for tax cuts that will benefit 100 percent of taxpayers and for a meaningful reduction in government spending that will address the true root causes of our fiscal instability. The only real question is whether or not Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi will allow us to go over the fiscal cliff because they didn't get 100 percent of what they wanted."
New STEM visa law could transform U.S. economy
For years, foreign students have come to the United States seeking the benefits of the first-class, world-class higher-education systems we offer. They receive the STEM skills they need to revolutionize industries, transform economies and create an untold number of jobs. Yet our broken visa system has exported those skills and jobs out of the United States allowing other nations to benefit from the education these students received here.
Making Government Suck Less
My job as Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee is to innovate government and hold it accountable to taxpayers. Reform is inherently disruptive, and often demands speaking unpleasant truths to the powerful in Washington. That's why, just before taking the stage at the PDF, I announced contempt charges against Attorney General Eric Holder for stonewalling the investigation of Operation Fast and Furious. A shocking contrast? To some in the crowd, probably. But since ...
Crafting 21st Century Information Technology Reform
The federal government currently spends $81 billion each year on information technology, yet its use and deployment of IT is full of duplication and failure. At a time when we are facing record deficits and our national debt has exceeded GDP, it has never been more important for government IT acquisition to maximize the American taxpayer's return on investment, reduce operational risk and provide value to citizens. Yet, because of the antiquated way the government defines its requirements and ...
Declaration of Internet Freedom
The Internet is essential to life in the 21st century. The way we do business, communicate and live our lives now largely depends on being able to get online. Ensuring the freedom to access and use the Internet has become a bipartisan priority.
New NRC chairman can learn from predecessor's mistakes
Last week marked the end of Gregory Jaczko's controversial reign as Chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. This departure is woefully overdue. For far too long, his misconduct undermined the credibility of the NRC and distracted from the agency's important work.
It's time to unburden business owners of federal regulations
It has been said before and it remains true: Small businesses are the backbone of our economy. Yet the Obama administration continues to bury American job creators with more and more red tape, and businesses are struggling to keep up.
Job Creators Brace for ObamaCare Impact
The reality is that the president's partisan health care overhaul, passed without any Republican votes, is directly contributing to the nation's unemployment problem. As regulators busily codify rules, employers are scrambling to figure out how to survive the plethora of mandates and taxes sprinkled throughout the nearly 3,000-page law. And its worst provisions have yet to be enacted.

Toronto stocks edge lower on U.S. bailout concerns
By Leah Schnurr
TORONTO (Reuters) - The Toronto Stock Exchange's main index ended slightly lower on Wednesday, plagued by uncertainty over the U.S. bailout plan.
The proposed $700 billion bailout plan in the United States remained front and center of investors' minds as Congress debated the measures that would see the U.S. government buy up soured mortgage debt from financial institutions.
Anxiety over when and if the proposal will pass added to choppy activity during the session, while the energy sector was dampened by soft oil prices. In the oil patch, Canadian Natural Resources slid 2.2 percent to C$82.15.
"If this thing came out and was passed today, I think the market would take off," said Rick Hutcheon, president and chief operating officer at RKH Investments, of the U.S. bailout.
"But the market is getting worried that something is going to happen to derail this thing, or that it's going to take so long that it's going to be ineffective by the time it actually gets (passed)," Hutcheon added.
The S&P/TSX composite index closed down 19.27 points, or 0.15 percent, at 12,513.36 with seven of its 10 main sectors down. The index had jumped just over 130 points earlier in the day.
The materials sector gave back some of the morning's gains, but held onto a 0.8 percent advance, as gold producers were lifted by a modest gain in gold. U.S. gold futures settled up $3.80 at $895.00 an ounce, while in Toronto, Barrick Gold rose 3 percent to C$39.95.
Elsewhere in the materials sector, Teck Cominco fell 2.1 percent to C$34.79, while the heavyweight energy sector gave up 0.6 percent as oil fell on worries over demand. Imperial Oil fell 1.4 percent to C$45.35. Continued...

Freshly dilute all reagents and bring all reagents to room temperature before use. If crystals have formed in the concentrate, mix gently until the crystals have completely dissolved. EIA Diluent Concentrate (10x): Dilute the EIA Diluent 1:10 with reagent grade water. Store for up to 1 month at 2-8°C. AT III Standard: Reconstitute the 4 g of human AT III Standard with 1 ml of EIA Diluent to generate a stock solution of 4 g/ml. Allow the standard to sit for 10 minutes with gentle agitation prior to making dilutions. Prepare duplicate or triplicate standard points by serially diluting the Standard solution (4 g/ml) 1:2 with EIA Diluent to produce 2, 1, 0.5, 0.25, 0.125, and 0.0625 g/ml. EIA Diluent serves as the zero standard (0 g/ml). Any remaining solution should be frozen at -20°C. Standard Point Dilution [ATIII] ( g/ml) P1 1 part stock (4 g/ml) 4.00 P2 1 part P1 + 1 part EIA Diluent 2.00 P3 1 part P2 + 1 part EIA Diluent 1.00 P4 1 part P3 + 1 part EIA Diluent 0.500 P5 1 part P4 + 1 part EIA Diluent 0.250 P6 1 part P5 + 1 part EIA Diluent 0.125 P7 1 part P6 + 1 part EIA Diluent 0.0625 P8 EIA Diluent 0.0000 Biotinylated AT III (1x): Dilute Biotinylated AT III with 4 ml EIA Diluent to produce a working solution. Allow the biotin to sit for 10 minutes with gentle agitation prior to use. Any remaining solution should be frozen at -20°C. Wash Buffer Concentrate (20x): Dilute the Wash Buffer Concentrate 1:20 with reagent grade water. SP Conjugate (100x): Spin down the SP Conjugate briefly and dilute the desired amount of the conjugate 1:100 with EIA Diluent. Any remaining solution should be frozen at -20°C.
Prepare all reagents, working standards and samples as instructed. Bring all reagents to room temperature before use. The assay is performed at room temperature (20 - 30 °C). Remove excess microplate strips from the plate frame and return them immediately to the foil pouch with desiccant inside. Reseal the pouch securely to minimize exposure to water vapor and store in a vacuum desiccator. Add 25 µL of standard and/or sample per well and immediately add 25 µL of Biotinylated AT III to each well (on top of the standard or sample). Cover wells with a sealing tape and incubate for two hours at room temperature. Start the timer after the last sample addition. Wash five times with 200 µL of Wash Buffer manually. Invert the plate each time and decant the contents, hit it 4-5 times on absorbent paper towel to completely remove the liquid. If using a machine wash six times with 300 µL of Wash Buffer and then invert the plate, decant the contents, hit it 4-5 times on absorbent paper towel to completely remove the liquid. Add 50 µL of Streptavidin-Peroxidase Conjugate to each well and incubate for 30 minutes. Turn on the microplate reader and set up the program in advance. Wash the microplate as described above. Add 50 µL of Chromogen Substrate per well and incubate for about 7 minutes or until the optimal blue color density develops. Gently tap plate to ensure thorough mixing and break the bubbles in the well with pipette tip. Add 50 µL of Stop Solution to each well. The color will change from blue to yellow. Read the absorbance on a microplate reader at a wavelength of 450 nm immediately. If wavelength correction is available, subtract readings at 570 nm from those at 450 nm to correct optical imperfections. Otherwise, read the plate at 450 nm only. Please note that some unstable black particles may be generated at high concentration points after stopping the reaction for about 10 minutes, which will reduce the readings.
Calculate the mean value of the duplicate or triplicate readings for each standard and sample. To generate a Standard Curve, plot the graph using the standard concentrations on the x-axis and the corresponding mean 450 nm absorbance on the y-axis. The best-fit line can be determined by regression analysis using log-log or four-parameter logistic curve-fit. Determine the unknown sample concentration from the Standard Curve and multiply the value by the dilution factor. Standard Curve The curve is provided for illustration only. A standard curve should be generated each time the assay is performed.

Magic on the Early English Stage
€ 98,99
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
April 2015
BeschreibungThis study explores the performance of magical tricks, illusions, effects, and their staged appearance in theatre from the medieval period to the seventeenth century. Performers who created such magic were not known as conjurors, as we might refer to them today, but as jugglers. Records concerning jugglers on the medieval stage have been hitherto misunderstood or misapplied. These references to jugglers on the medieval stage are re-examined in the light of references to 'feats of activity' that also include tumbling, vaulting, and 'dancing on the rope'; appearances and disappearances in respect of 'Now you see it, now you don't' and stage versions of these concepts.
InhaltsverzeichnisIntroduction; 1. Jugglers: the creators of magic; 2. Feats of activity: juggling, tumbling and dancing on the rope; 3. Conveyance and confederacy; 4. Appearances and disappearances; 5. Magic through sound; 6. Mechanical images, automata, puppets and motions; 7. Substitution; 8. Stage tricks; 9. Terminology; Appendix 1. Edward Melton's Text; Appendix 2. Wily Beguiled (1606); Appendix 3. Beggars' Bush (1622); Appendix 4. The Knave in Graine (1640).
PortraitPhilip Butterworth is Reader in Medieval Theatre at the School of Performance and Cultural Industries, University of Leeds. He is the author of Theatre of Fire: Special Effects in Early English and Scottish Theatre, and has published widely in journals on the subject of Medieval Theatre, including essays in 'Medieval English Theatre'. He is currently working, with Joslin McKinney, on The Cambridge Introduction to Scenography, to be published in 2006.
PressestimmenReviews of the hardback: 'One of Butterworth's strengths is to bring out the hidden terminology of magic.' Times Literary Supplement 'One of the strengths of Butterworth's book is the way that it brings together material relating to both the medieval and early modern periods ... This is a serious, empirical account of a colourful subject and Butterworth's interest lies in the 'how' rather than the 'why' of the magical illusion.' Around the Globe 'The range of evidence used in this study is impressive, and is used by Butterworth with ease and aplomb ... Butterworth's is a serious, scholarly work, thorough and written with an iron grasp of the material. This makes it an invaluable source for the understanding of the minutiae of medieval and early modern theatrical culture ...' Marginalia 'Philip Butterworth is rapidly establishing himself as the pre-eminent authority on special effects of the medieval stage ... His approach is cautious, scholarly, and thorough ... Magic on the Early English Stage is a valuable addition to our knowledge of stage effects and other technical 'tricks' of the period.' Comparative Drama 'Magic on the Early English Stage provides an unprecedentedly precise and impeccably thorough survey of the historical records within its purview.' Studies in English Literature 'Philip Butterworth's book is one of the first to position the elements of magic and conjuring within the broader context of 'legitimate' theatre history.' Theatre Journal 'The study remains a meticulously organized expansion of our records and understanding of early modern magic.' Michael Saenger PhD, Southwestern University 'What makes Butterworth's Magic on the Early English Stage so remarkable is its ability to be at once profoundly erudite while conveying the wonder of these performers and their performances. ... Equally impressive is Butterworth's exhaustive compilation and use of sources, many of which, as he notes, have not been in print since their original publication. ... The reader leaves this text feeling quite certain that though his subject is sleight of hand and other devices meant to misdirect, Butterworth himself us guilty of no such tricks, instead delivering a truly spectacular work that will be of use to all interested in the early English stage for many years to come.' Early Modern Literary Studies 'Butterworth's book is an enlightening introduction to the technique and application of magic in medieval and renaissance England ...' Shakespeare Bulletin 'Butterworth is an accomplished and careful scholar and his crossroad is clearly marked for the reader. ... some interesting insights ... Butterworth has done a credible job ... I have no doubt this book will appear in many a future footnote.' Marina Favila, Medieval and Renaissance Drama in England Magic on the Early English Stage is highly recommended to all scholars and lovers of magic history, at the very least because the author's research astonishes with its sheer number of rich, varied and carefully enumerated references culled from the sources quoted above - the reference sections (appendices, notes and bibliography) alone comprise nearly one third of the book's 295 pages. ... Truly academic studies of conjuring history are relatively rare, and fewer still attain broad distribution or recognition, with most languishing as unpublished doctoral theses. Fortunately, Cambridge University Press has seen fit to publish Dr Philip Butterworth's Magic on the Early English Stage ... Alas, the size of our modest quarterly prohibits a review which adequately conveys the wealth and breadth of material ... Dr Butterworth's book is unreservedly recommended to all MCA members. There is simply no other work at present which compares in scope or scholarship ...' Magicol Review of the paperback: 'Philip Butterworth's style is excellently suited towards theater studies, and will teach students the material clearly without overcomplicating the subject ... [The] paperback format ... raises the bar for Magic on the Early English Stage's high standard of excellence, making sure that it stays one of the foremost theater studies textbooks.' Bookrenter.com
