Mordred had gone back and forth between the secret camp where he resided with Morgana and her son Mabon and Camelot all his life. Often he would go without telling anyone where it was he was headed because he knew they would never understand his reasons for going in the first place. It was his secret obsession.
That was his curiosity over Eiliwedd, the Lady Royal of Camelot and daughter of the man he was apparently destined to kill one day. Little Linnet, the 'Idol of the Isles' as the people knew her as a child. He had watched her since she was a babe lying in her cradle, and secretly watched her grow up from afar.
One day when she was thirteen, Linnet dropped her family pendant – the mark of the Pendragon – while walking in the street. That was the first day that Mordred had ever spoken to Linnet. He knew he shouldn't have but curiosity over what it would be like to... touch her shoulder just once compelled him to reach out and grab her attention to return the lost treasure.
He remembered how she had turned and smiled. Everyone said that she was edgy and tricky to deal with like her father had been at her age... but he saw nothing but nobility and kindness in her expression.
"You dropped this, your highness."
He had held out the pendant for her and she gasped at the sight of it, immediately reaching out to take it.
"Oh my God! Thank you."
Her hand had brushed against his as she took back the pendant. She had barely stayed more than a few seconds after that, smiling gratefully at him and blinking her beautifully framed brown-eyes as she turned to leave. He had even caught the scent of her fine blonde hair flicked back as she ran to catch up with her younger companion.
He knew that his curiosity was poisonous.
That said his interest in Linnet hadn't been perverted, at least he didn't think so. At thirteen he did not find her remotely attractive as a woman. She was still thin and undeveloped but for tiny signs that puberty had kicked in just the previous year. Her tomboyish style added more to her lack of femininity even when she was forced to wear a dress.
Her longish blonde locks hung in fine, wavy masses which knotted together. As he walked away Mordred imagined Queen Guinevere pulling a brush through her teenage daughter's hair and scolding her for not brushing it properly.
Yes, he had thought her beautiful – in the same way a work of art was beautiful or a unicorn was beautiful. Eiliwedd Pendragon was at that point just a pretty thing but she was not attractive. Even pretty things could be struck down if need be... although Mordred admitted that his perception of her might change when she came of age, when she reached the age of objectification.
So he made a vow.
He would not return to Camelot until the day she came of age. Even as he walked away Mordred wondered how he would fight off the curiosity to watch her as he had since she was tiny. Yet he had crossed the line in speaking to her today. He had made a move towards existing in her world, something which he had vowed never to do the first day he ever saw her as a baby.
I will never let the daughter of a man I hate control me!
Mordred realised now that he was so determined to see the prophecy didn't come true, that by obsessing over Linnet and watching her he was making it come true. So, he decided to cut all ties from this day until the day she was no longer a child.
It was not a child, after all, who would 'bewitch the mind of the cold and cruel Mordred' to the point of obsession, he thought.

A Moment's HesitationMature
The sun struck his eyes, dragging him from his rest. His head pounded like the worst of hangovers and he touched the patch of raw skin, his breath hissing through his teeth as the skin throbbed with pain. He sat up with the careful movements of someone expecting pain and was pleasantly surprised by a lack of it. There was a cup on the table next to him, yet he had no memory of putting it there. There was about an inch of water in the bottom, tiny bubbles clinging to the colourless plastic, showing that the glass had stood there for several hours. He shifted and the light struck the water, illuminating the glass. The bubbles blazed white. He puzzled at the imitation glass cup, thrown by its presence where it should have been absent.
It was her smell that gave him the clue he needed. Hypersensetive to any link to her, an achingly familiar, sweet-spicy smell clung to his hair. He inhaled, resisting the urge to take it all in at once. She had been here, she had helped him. She had shown her infinite capacity for kindness, even to those that had wronged her and she had helped him-the person least worthy of her help, much less her kindness. He moved again, catching that faint trace of her smell, almost a memory, when he heard the sound again. He had been so caught up in his sense of smell and the knowlege it provoked, he had registered the crackle of crumpled paper only sub-conciously. He reached into his pocket to recover the paper and felt a painful jolt in his chest as he recognised the neat, fluid script of her writing. It was a handful of figures, her name and a simple message, but it was enough for him.
Call if you ever need me x
He remembered, with painful clarity, the expression of conflict on her face as she had left the night before. He also remembered the way he had barely been concious to care as she had walked out of the door, wearing almost the exact same expression of careful blankness she always did when she was hurt. He saw again, seared into his mind, the way she had turned her face slightly from him the entire time she had been with him, looking directly at him only once.
"I'm leaving tomorrow afternoon. Bye."
Those storm blue eyes had looked right at him then, conveying messages he had not been able to recieve until now. Instead of falling comatose, she had wanted him to tell her to stay. She had wanted him to make a move that she would never make. It was not a matter of pride, though she had a certain amount of that in her bearing these days. It was all in her words. She was leaving. It was the end of their final year here, they were moving on into the world. He knew that, as did she. She had wanted to stay but he had let her go. And he wanted her back.
He glanced at his watch and felt a lead weight drop through his stomach. It was noon already. He could almost see her, perched on the edge of the bed in a room identical to hundreds of others in the building, watching the clock, going to the window occasionally, restlessly checking her phone. Waiting for him. As each hour passed, she would slowly convince herself that this was the best thing, for both of them. Their relationship had been stormy, the ending messy at best. This would be the best thing, for them to go their separate paths, to untwine the threads of their lives for good, becoming parrallel lines, never to cross paths again.
The thought turned his blood to ice. He knew now what he hadn't when he had taken pleasure in their arguments. He understood that the bond they had forged, despite the times he had tried to bury it, the bond was too precious, too vital to ignore. However fragile this chance, he could not let it become ashes on the wind, when there was precious little to salvage here. He could not let her storm blue eyes, that blazed fire and ice and calm, that were windows to her soul, where the poet lay, that had enchanted him more than he would ever admit, he would not let those beautifully ordinary eyes become nothing more than a memory to him. He saw now, in them, the love that had never died for him, the feirce need to protect and care for him, reflected in his own desire to have her here now.
He got to his feet, his protesting body ignored to the greater protests of his iron will. He would not fail her again. He would be the man she deserved and the man he knew she still loved. He left the apartment at a run, going to the place he knew she would wait until the last moment, offering prayers to anyone that would listen that she would be there. He prayed that fate would not conspire against him now, that his penance was done for the mistake that had cost so much. He had been so blind to her before. She had been just another girl, yes, one he had been with longer than the others but still another girl. He had been blind to the fragile temptress he had given his heart to for her storm blue eyes, without even realising it. And he had failed her once, greviously.
He paused before turning the corner, to snatch a breath that would allow him to talk. His hands clenched the rough denim of his jeans as he fought a wave of pain as his head throbbed. It was as though even his body knew the importance of what was about to happen. A corner, and he would see her. A street length and he would be by her side. He straightened up. He was ready.
He turned the corner and began to sprint as though his life depended on it. The acrid smoke from the exhaust of the bus caught in the back of his throat, making his eyes stream scalding tears. A silent scream was building up in his mind as he drew close enough to hear the pneumatic hiss of the door as it sealed. It pulled away as he arrived, collapsing onto the pole, sporting a sign that proudly proclaimed the bus company to always be on time and he cursed their efficiency. Watching the back window, he saw a head turn. Her storm blue eyes peirced him once before the bus turned a corner and she was lost to him.
He let out no bellow of pain, no tortured scream. He did not fall to his knees or even shed any tears of pain. He was beyond the realms of any physical action, no matter how dramatic. He had penetrated a realm of pain that he had never imagined existed, made all the more acute for the cruel conspiracy of events that had worked against him. If he had not been hit so hard the night before, if the sun had risen a moment earlier, if he had heard the paper, as opposed to catching her scent first. If he had run a little faster, if she had caught the next bus. If he had not paused for breath, if she'd had one more heavy bag. Fragmented moments that would haunt him always. Tiny details had re-written the future irrevocably and her storm blue eyes were permitted only to be a memory to him, the number now redundant as he saw that she had forgotten one item. A small black mobile phone lay in the gutter, screen cracked and lifeless. Instinctively, as he picked it up, he knew that he was holding his last severed lifeline to her.

Plan details structural reforms
The Obama administration today released a 25-step implementation plan to overhaul federal IT management that includes fixing or killing at least a third of underperforming IT projects during the next 18 months.
The plan fleshes out five structural reforms the administration announced last month and each of the plan's action items is broken down into six-month deadlines to ensure the government is making progress. The White House has already terminated one Homeland Security Department program. The reforms include significant changes to the role of the CIO, a new drive to implement cloud computing solutions as the first choice in many cases, and a reduction in the number of federal data centers.
DHS IT project terminated after White House review
OMB to push for big changes in IT management
Kundra highlighted several other aspects of the government's action plan during his presentation, such as shifting to a "cloud first" policy across the government within 18 months and reducing the number of federal data centers by at least 800 by 2015.
Further, he explained the administration will only approve funding of major IT programs that have a dedicated program manager and a fully integrated program team, use a modular approach with usable functionality delivered every six months and use specialized IT acquisition professionals.
Kundra also said the federal government will work with Congress to consolidate commodity IT funding under agency CIOs and to develop flexible budget models that align with modular development.
An interactive online platform for pre-RFP agency-industry collaboration is also in the offing, to foster better relations between government and industry, he said. Moreover, the Office of Federal Procurement Policy will begin a "myth-busting" education campaign to eliminate artificial barriers to private-sector engagement, according to the plan.
Jeffrey Zients, the Office of Management and Budget's deputy director for management and chief performance officer, asked industry and government members who attended the event Thursday to hold the government accountable for executing its plan with discipline and urgency. He said, overall, the government must be more responsive to evolving technologies and more accountable and focused on delivering results.
Kundra also stressed that this IT reform is different from ones in the past because it is centered on execution, not writing more policy. To illustrate this point, Kundra spotlighted agencies throughout his presentation that have or have not made strides to improve their IT projects. The IT projects featured were part of the 26 high-priority projects the administration identified last summer as ones that were at-risk of being over-budget, behind schedule or plagued by problems of mismanagement, or that lacked functional deliverability.
OMB officials have reviewed 18 of these projects so far, including the DHS project that has been terminated. The remaining eight systems will be reviewed before the budget is released next February, Zients told reporters during a call on Wednesday. Officials said the review of these projects helped to inform their action plan.
Additional elements of the reform plan included designing a formal IT program management career path and launching a best-practices collaboration platform. The government also wants to reduce the barriers of entry for small innovative technology companies.

The appropriators supporting an IT modernization bill are urging a key authorizing committee to vote up the bill and send it to the Senate floor.
The architect of the Managing Government Technology Act is happy with the administration's request for a central IT modernization fund, but he thinks the real action will take place at the agency level.
President Donald Trump's budget proposal identifies almost $150 billion in savings over 10 years by slashing federal employee benefits, but feds and their unions are crying foul.
As expected, the proposed federal budget contains $228 million for a general fund for IT modernization projects.
The Modernizing Government Technology Act passed the House of Representatives on a voice vote, but the Senate outlook is less certain.
The revised IT modernization bill will cost $500 million to implement, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
This has to happen; however, the way it happens is counterproductive. It comes off as punitive and generally not helpful.
Why does it happen?
Basically there is no tension in the system, at least not at the right places and phases, or in the proper quantities (feedback loop). The systems ends up fighting (wasting energy) the mechanism that in the end would help improve the process.
When and where will it all end?

This year, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's annual trip to Cannes is a very rushed affair, despite it being a milestone for her – this will be the 42-year-old actress' 15th year at the film festival. Aishwarya was spotted at Mumbai airport on the night of May 12, flying to Nice airport just a day before her first scheduled red carpet appearance. As ever, she was accompanied by her mother Brinda Rai and daughter Aaradhya.
Aishwarya was dressed for comfort in black, topped by a long cape-like jacket. She dressed her daughter in a white top and black pants.Aaradhya, now four, found the bank of cameras waiting at the airport difficult to deal with. Aishwarya has so far taken her daughter with her to Cannes every year since 2013 and little Aaradhya is as much a veteran of Cannes as her mother now.
Aishwarya's delayed departure has been in aid of her new film Sarbjit, which she has been busy promoting. She will walk the red carpet on May 13 and May 14. She's also going to have to skip the amfAR Gala which she attends annually – Sarbjit releases on May 20 and the Gala is to be held on May 19. Aishwarya's vacant spot will be filled by her colleague Sonam Kapoor.
"It's an honor to be a part of the esteemed amfAR gala. I cannot stress enough the importance of AIDS research in our time. This foundation is doing such incredible work dedicated towards raising funds for life-saving research programs that help the fight against AIDS. I am looking forward to meeting the wonderful team that chairs amfAR and hope to contribute to this cause in every way possible," Sonam, who will attend the Gala for the first time, said in a statement.
Sarbjit, which is directed by Omung Kumar, is an important film for Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. It is her second film after last year's poorly-received Jazbaa – which was the movie that marked her return after a five-year break – and the trailer of the film has generated very good press for the actress' performance. She stars as Dalbir Kaur, the sister of Indian farmer Sarabjit Singh who died in a Pakistani prison. Randeep Hooda plays the titular character and Richa Chadha appears as his wife.
The Cannes Film Festival, which began on May 11, has already seen major stars such as George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Blake Lively and Kristen Stewart attend, as well as L'Oreal ambassadors Julianne Moore, Eva Longoria and Naomi Watts. Sonam, who walks the red carpet on May 14 and 16, is in London en route Cannes.

Infiniti has released the first details and photos of its new compact crossover. Dubbed the QX30, the latest addition to the premium lineup is set for parallel debuts at the upcoming auto shows in Los Angeles and in Guangzhou, China. And with it, the luxury automaker is going after a younger demographic.
Previewed by the QX30 concept unveiled earlier this year in Geneva, the new crossover joins the Q30 hatchback in Infiniti's new "entry-level" model line. Set to be produced at Nissan's mega factory in Sunderland, UK, the QX30 will be the first Infiniti to be built in Europe. But as you might discern from its introduction in LA, it'll form a vital part of the brand's strategy for the US market as well.
The design looks instantly recognizable as an Infiniti, looking almost exactly like the Q30... only more rugged. Apart from the increased ride height, suitably ruggedized lower bodywork, and telltale (but slimline) roof rails, it adopts the same curvaceous, organic lines as the hatchback, and signature double-arch grille and kinked C-pillar as you'd expect from any modern Infiniti.
The Japanese automaker has yet to show us much of the interior, but it promises an asymmetric design, premium materials, and ergonomic surfaces. Nor has Infiniti revealed much in the way of technical details. What it has told us, however, is that the new QX30 will encompass an all-wheel-drive system capable of sending up to 50 percent of output to the rear wheels, running through a seven-speed dual clutch transmission.
Availability of diesel and gasoline engines will depend on the individual market. If its lower-riding stablemate is anything to go by, we should be looking at a 2.0-liter turbo four producing 208 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. Technical specifications are due to be announced closer to its market introduction in the middle of next year. At that point, rivals like the Mercedes GLA, Audi Q3, BMW X1, and Lexus NX will be put on notice as Infiniti joins an increasingly competitive market for premium compact crossovers.

The Long Haul - One Year of Solitude on America's Highways
I entered the industry in the way many do: with a sense of complete personal abandon and lack of direction. No one enters out of high school, because they can't, so everyone goes in because something else didn't work out. Layoffs, breakups, and prison stints are popular notes of inspiration. I graduated journalism school tens of thousands in debt, and I needed fast cash with minimum expenditures. Craigslist, I noticed, was overrun with trucking companies making desperate pleas. So I spent three grand, earned a commercial driver's license at a community college, and applied to nine trucking jobs.

The apartment is very nice and clean, the location is great. I recommend it.
L'appartamento è molto carino e pulito, la posizione è ottima. Lo consiglio.
Ladies and gentlemen. I hereby would like to send you my review of the flat four Mori. The apartment is furnished modern renovated good but very dark. Two points we could not fault specific. The apartment is very moldy. When opening the door a one mold odor meets the very uncomfortable. The cabinets are difficult to use because of the smell. Also, the kitchen is very bad. Lacks pots and other kitchen utensils. On the wall in the bedroom, a large gray spot was about 50 × 80 cm. We had the mold with a vacuum cleaner sucking away.
Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren. Ich möchte Ihnen hiermit meine Bewertung über die Wohnung vier Mori schicken. Die Wohnung ist modern eingerichtete gut renoviert allerdings sehr dunkel. Zwei Punkte haben wir konkret zu bemängeln. Die Wohnung ist Sehr schimmelig . Beim Öffnen der Tür kommt einem ein Schimmelgeruch entgegen der sehr unangenehm ist. Die Schränke sind nicht zu benutzen wegen des Geruchs. Außerdem ist die Küche sehr schlecht ausgestattet .es fehlen Töpfe und sonstige Küchenutensilien. An der Wand im Schlafzimmer war ein großer Schimmelfleck circa 50 × 80 cm groß. Den Schimmel mussten wir mit dem Staubsauger weg saugen.
nice apartment ... as shown in the pictures!
nette Wohnung ... genauso wie auf den Bildern gezeigt!
Great apartment, brand new, modern and very clean. Fully equipped, washing machine to dry hair, through the vacuum cleaner and towels. A little bit away in a quiet environment away from the lively but only 5 minutes walk from St Mark's Square and Rialto 10.
Super appartement, tout neuf, moderne et très propre.
Parfaitement équipé, de la machine à laver au sèche cheveux, en passant par l'aspirateur et les serviettes de toilette.
Un peu peu à l'écart dans une impasse au calme des quartiers animés mais seulement à 5 minutes à pied de la place St Marc et 10 du Rialto.

Study objectives: To address the value of plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) concentrations as a diagnostic tool for determining the cardiac etiology of pleural effusions, and to determine possible differences of plasma BNP concentrations before and after pleurocentesis in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF).
Design: Observational study.
Setting: Tertiary care hospital.
Patients: Consecutive series of 64 patients with indications for diagnostic pleurocentesis. The final diagnosis of the underlying disease was assessed by clinical criteria. Seven patients were excluded due to pleural effusions of equivocal origin or due to obvious hemothorax secondary to trauma.
Intervention: Pleurocentesis attempting to drain effusions dry. Plasma BNP concentrations were measured directly before pleurocentesis and 24 h after the intervention. During these 24 h, the dosages of patients' medications were held constant.
Measurements and results: In distinguishing between patients with pleural effusions caused by CHF (n = 31) and patients with pleural effusions attributable to other causes (n = 26), the area under the curve was 0.974 (SE, 0.021; 95% confidence interval, 0.892 to 0.997) for plasma BNP. A BNP cutoff concentration of 2,201 ng/L had a sensitivity of 77% and a specificity of 100% in the diagnosis of CHF. The median plasma BNP concentrations in patients with pleural effusions caused by CHF (n = 31) did not change within 24 h after pleurocentesis compared with the concentrations obtained before the procedure (before pleurocentesis, 3,227 ng/L; 24 h after pleurocentesis, 2,759 ng/L; p = 0.189), despite a median removal of 1,100 mL pleural fluid.
Conclusions: Plasma BNP concentrations of patients with pleural effusions of unknown origin may be an aid in the diagnosis of CHF as the underlying cause. If plasma BNP is used as a surrogate marker of global cardiac function, there is no indication of hemodynamic improvement caused by pleurocentesis alone in patients with CHF and pleural effusions.

"Are you alright?" the tall man asked, supporting Maya up. She did not reply. Her heart had just been shattered to a million pieces, just like the camera that laid by the edge of the staircase. She reached for the camera and tried to put the pieces back in place. The camera had dropped a few times in her care, but none of them could match up with this blow. Apparently, the camera not only had to deal the impact of it slamming straight down on the staircase, but also the blows from dropping off the stairs to the ground. It was completely ruined. Tears started streaming down the sides of Maya's cheeks, emotions churning deep within her. The camera was given to her by her late Grandfather, and now, its completely ruined.
"Are you alright?" a warm voice asked. Maya looked up and found herself staring into a pair of beautiful brown eyes, those that resembled a mix of an American and an Asian. "Why did you have to collide into me!" Maya burst out, " don't you know how much this camera means to me......". Maya stared blankly at her camera, sinking slowly to the ground and eventually into a crouch. She buried her face in her hands andd started to sob. "I'm sorry." The guy replied, patting her on her shoulders. Maya turned to him, "No you're not! You'll never understand..." shoving his hand away coldly. She quickly gathered the pieces and ran up the stairs, back to her apartment where she laid at a corner, reminiscencing her moments with her grandfather while heartfelt tears continued to flow.

Netanyahu's policies put Israel in boiling western waters
Dubai: The Israeli government's plan to develop a disputed area (E1) near occupied east Jerusalem triggered on Monday the fury of several western countries as well as the United Nations, in a reaction described by Palestinian analysts as "politically stripping Israel naked".
Strongly worded criticism came from the US, Israel's strategic ally, while both Britain and France summoned the Israeli ambassadors in their capitals on Sunday to protest the expansion of colonies.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon also strongly criticised the Israeli plan, calling it an "almost fatal blow" to chances of achieving peace with the Palestinians.
"For the first time, Israel is politically naked," said Mahdi Abdul Hadi, Chairman of the Palestinian Academic Society for the Study of International Affairs (PASSIA), based in occupied east Jerusalem.
The Americans and the Europeans revealed their support to Israel after the "humiliating defeat for the Israelis in their war on Gaza, the 128 countries' endorsement of the Palestinian bid for non-member state at the UN, and the stubbornness and madness of [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu on the colonies," Abdul Hadi told Gulf News.
Last Thursday, the Palestinians won the support of the majority of the UN General Assembly members to change their status to that of non-member observer state. The move was strongly criticised by Israel and rejected by the US.
Israeli Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz announced halting the tax payments Israel is collecting for the Palestinians in response to the UN vote. The amount, according to Israeli media, was 460 million shekels (Dh442 million).
Also, a day after the UN vote, the Israeli government announced its approval for the building of 3,000 housing units in the large colonies.
"It is unfathomable that a prime minister would behave the way Netanyahu behaved," US President Barack Obama's former chief of staff Rahm Emanuel was quoted by the Israeli media as saying in a closed-door think-tank meeting in Washington, DC.
Emanuel was also quoted as saying Obama would no longer accept disrespect from Netanyahu.
"It became obvious that the Netanyahu's cabinet has pushed the western supporting government to reach a conclusion that the Israeli government is not interested in the peace process and is acting against the international law," said Palestinian columnist and political analyst Jehad Harb.
"These [western] governments can't support these practices", especially the colonial policies, which contradict the principle of the two-state solution, Harb told Gulf News.
During its military campaign against Gaza last month, Israel received the backing of the western governments to "defend itself" against the rockets attacks launched from the Strip.
Likud's leader Netanyahu, later, clarified to his Likud ministers that the government gave the green light for zoning and planning in the area known as E1 between Jerusalem and Maaleh Adumim, the main Israeli colony near occupied east Jerusalem, but not to actual construction there.
His comments were interpreted by Israeli media as a "signal to the "Palestinians that if they go further with the type of unilateral actions they took at the UN on Thursday, Israel would indeed build in E1."
Israeli politician Ben-Eliezer, who is a Labor member of the Knesset, was quoted as warning "the world was losing its patience with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's irresponsible policies."
He called the Israeli announcement "a badly-timed decision".
"The world is telling Israel 'enough,' and the fact that friendly states like Britain and France are considering recalling their ambassadors is a long-reaching issue that can lead to international isolation," Ben-Eliezer said.
Other Palestinian analysts agreed.
The western anger over the Israeli colonial policy is the "beginning of exposing the right-wing government in Israel and to keep alive the two-state solution before it is too late," Abdul Hadi said.
While some analysts believe the timing of Netanyahu's announcement aimed to further gain the support of the "religious fundamentalists" in next month's Israeli elections, others expressed a different opinion.
"The Israeli elections map has fluid borders and nothing is guaranteed until the last minute," Abdul Hadi said.
"Israeli colonial policy has been going on during the past two years and not only with the latest decision," Harb said.
The future of the Israeli colonies in the Palestinian territories occupied in the 1967 war was among the thorny issues left for the final stage of the stalled Palestinian-Israeli peace talks.
"Netanyahu is trying to tell the Israeli people that the occupation is still there, and that the Israeli government is still practically the one who is controlling the Palestinian territories, and nothing has changed after the UN vote," Harb added.

I leave my room and go to answer the front door. I open it.
"Capricorn" I gasp. He smiles and pushes a hand back through his messy red hair.
"Hiya El" he says leaning against the door frame.
"But they got you" I say stepping back.
"Yes they did" he smiles revealing the two large canines in his mouth.
"Get away from my house" I hold a palm out and he's forced back a meter. Which allows me time to close the door securing the shield mecanisum.
"Torren" I shout. He comes out after a minute.
"What?" he asks grogily.
"Don't open any windows... or the front or back doors" I tell him.
"Vampires?" he asks. "Is it Alex?"
"No, he use to be a friend of mine" I mutter looking at the floor blood rising to my cheeks.
"So he was a witch" Torren says, I also see a small look of jelousy in his eyes.
"Yeah, but a vampire called Elzon got him so... well you know" a thump sounds against the door then a scream of pain which isn't Capricorns.
"You useless cretin" I hear him shout. I pull back the blinds of the window next to the door and see a small deamon.
"I can't infiltrate a level 100 shield only powerful mages or small faults will allow you to penitrate that.... Master" he says the last word after hesitation and spitefully.
"Uhh, your useless" Capricorn hisses waving a hand sending the deamon up in flames. God, he's changed.
He looks at the window and spots me a smile coming over his face. You haven't won yet Elliana, His thoughts whisper making me shiver.
I step back pulling the blind back over the window. "We'll have to stay inside for a while" I say walking back to my room passing Torren without a glance.

Immortalis: Dust to Dawn, Chapter 1: Too Many Books
Imperamee, her brothers, and Jack Flash venture into another universe triggered by an X-Men Comic. Imperamee learns a little more about her origin, and she runs in Shadow for the first time in 1,000 years.
Before I get into any amount of detail, let me make one thing clear: I can live forever. So can my brothers, and my best friend. And it sucks. It does. But I will say, before any complaining, that we do make the most of our life, if you can even call it that.
I am Imperamee. You may not know me (most people don't at first) but once I add in all the "famous singer, politician, rich," stuff, it clicks for most. Sometimes others can be a bit absent minded. At least they're human, unlike us. At least they can be human.
Now I go into detail. Elementum, Heiton, Scien, Alister, Beastiav, and Vishab and my brothers, and they're listed by age. Jack Flash is comparatively younger then all of us, but he is really just like us. And he's my boy-friend. And he is smart, and handsome, and funny, and the best. But then there is him…
"BEAST!!!" Alister screamed. "Where's my laptop!?!"
"Dude," mentioned Scien. "He's in the tower, with Vishab, and you've got your laptop right-"
"Then he's gonna pay for this!" growled Alister. "I needed that thing today. I was gonna spam that annoying executive from last week and then it wasn't there."
"Dude, don't make me your therapist," replied Scien annoyed. "Just calm down and look in your bag-."
Alister raced through the long, sun filled halls of the Immortalis mansion, his laptop bag banging against his torso. The book shelves and doors stood still as if spectators to an Olympic long distance competition to the tower's spiraling stairs. Alister growled and took a giant leap, flying up through the air gap that was between the stairs, like something impossible you see in movies. He landed right near the top and side-kicked the door open, storming inside. The lighting changed, from a dull, sunny gray to a bright, golden yellow.
Beastiav, Vishab, Elementum, and Heiton were in the room sparring, and Imperamee was presiding over the exercise. She waved to Alister over the loud clangs and slashes of the swords, and Alister strode into the battle field. He yanked at Beastiav by the collar, and dragged him backwards to the towers balcony.
"Hello Beast," greeted Alister. "Where's my laptop?"
"In your laptop bag," stated Beastiav. "And yes, you forgot to look there."
"I hate you!" screeched Alister. "Why do I forget to look in the bag?"
"Because it is the obvious hiding spot," said Imperamee. "You all know that you hide something in the open, because nobody looks there."
Vishab nodded, and Alister opened his bag to make sure his "baby" was okay. Apologizing to Beastiav, he left the room.
"Nice handling of the situation.." claimed a voice. "Very nice."
"Hey Jack!" greeted Heiton.
"Well, well," observed Jack. "Looks like Angst-Alister freaked again."
"Yes, yes he did," replied Elementum. "I think he was ready to throw Beast off of the balcony. At least Beast's got faster thinking (and reflexes) then most of us."
"Who knows," pondered Heiton. "Maybe Alister will trip over a sword again and Beast will stop his face-plantage?"
"Can you two stop yourselves from getting into deep thought?" asked Imperamee. "It can get annoying…"
"No, I don't think they can," replied Jack. "I think they'll have to do it for the rest of their lives."
Jack walked over to a book case. This one was filled with comics. Spider-Man, X-Men, Hulk, Iron Man, Batman, Superman, countless others. Jack pulled out one at random. It was an X-Men. He flipped through it before setting it down.
"You all have too many books," he mentioned. "I think I could get a law passed to make this a health violation… Now I wonder."
"Do that and Alister will throw you out the window," added Beastiav.
Imperamee walked over to Jack and wrapped her arms around his shoulders. "But you wouldn't do that, because then I would be forced to impale you with books.."
"And they say books never hurt anyone…" Jack trailed off. He placed his hand on the comic just as Imperamee was about to pick it up. There was a flash of light, and the room started spinning.
As the room gained momentum, everyone fell for the floor, hands around their heads in protection. The light got brighter, almost to the point where you could feel it. The twirling sensation would have made your head explode, and the light….. I would prefer Russian roulette to this.
Everyone was at the point of screaming, but then it just stopped. The spinning, the twirling, the light, it all stopped. Elementum (probably the hardiest of everyone) stood up first, dazed and confused. Heiton, then Beastiav, Vishab, and finally Imperamee stood up.
"What in the world…" started Heiton.
"Happened?" finished Elementum.
"Did we," stuttered Imperamee. "Did… We skip universes again?"
Vishab nodded, quiet as always. He looked around the room, which was almost completely different from the airy tower they were once in. Vishab's narrow green eyes were almost like emeralds in the lighting. His silky, curly greenish-blonde hair was wore plainly. His narrow, angular building highlight his delicate ears and greenish skin nicely, and his green and brown wardrobe was hung loosely against him. Imperamee thought nothing had really changed about his appearance.
"So…" began Beastiav. "Where are we?"
"We're in an old military bunker," replied Heiton robotically. "The exit is that door, which we'll have to break down. Our vehicles are outside, and were supposed to meet in upper Washington state at our estate. We were instructed to go separate ways. Wait.. Wait.. Aww… That's all the detail I can fish out. Being psychic never gets old."
"Yes, it kinda does," added Elementum. "Hey, where's Jack? And Alister and Scien?"
"Wait… Wait…" Heiton started again. "At the estate."
"Then shouldn't we get going?" suggested Beastiav. "Elementum, do the honors of getting us out of here."
Elementum just smiled, and gave a gigantic heave at the door, his gray eyes flashing like pools of mercury. The door crumbled under his muscular-macho fist, his straight coffee-hair swishing as he righted himself. His muscle shirt highlighted the change of light as he clambered out of the hole of a bunker they were in.
"That's all I have to say 'bout that," teased Vishab, everyone looking at him, surprised that he actually talked, which was quite a rare thing.

Just a Feeling
School ended and I returned back home on my bus. After my encounter with Cherry that day, I found myself thinking about her eyes at dinner.
My mother notices that I am barely eating and says in her "trying-to-sound-concerned" tone of voice "Enrique, what's wrong with you? You've barely eaten anything" I keep my head down "I'm not hungry." I reply, all while having flashbacks of the beautiful creature: Her eyes, her pretty little face, her delicate hands.
My stepfather speaks up, although not wanted "He's doing too much of that thinking! That's unhealthy. You know, when I was a chico, I was too busy doing chores to think that hard.". I say under my breath "Maybe you were too stupid to think that hard anyway..". My older sister, irritated with the attention being payed to me, begins to speak "Well, I'm thinking about buying a car". Usually, I ignore my sister, seeing as she's the type of person who just loves to hear herself talk, but I couldn't help saying "Well, think about moving out" My mother glares at me, and mouths curses at me in Spanish to behave.
I stand up to excuse myself, when my stepfather replies "No wonder he's so skinny, he never eats dinner" I glare at him, give my dinner to my overweight younger brother, my stepfather's favorite, who never passes down a meal, and head to my room in the basement.
My grandfather, my favorite in my family, who I call abuelito, is cleaning down there. I jump "Abuelito, I'm sorry for bothering you.. I just wanted to be alone." He looks at me, his face full of age and good wisdom and says "Something is bothering you, Enrique. What is it.." I sit on my bed and respond "It's this girl at school, and she never talks or does anything important, but smile and I- I don't know, I feel that I really like her, and I don't know why." He laughs and says "You are infactuated, no? You are interested in this girl.. Is she pretty to you?" I nod. He continues "Yes, it's an infactuation. You'll be fine. It's quite normal. Give it a while and the feeling will pass.." He gets up and leaves my room and me thinking upon his words.

Night Gun
I can't sleep.
Neither can you.
So you stay up with me,
and we just talk.
It's a quarter to one,
and we've gone through nothing.
There's so much to know about you,
yet you say nothing.
So I keep talking
You asked a question
And I fell asleep.
Thanks for being exciting.

Guns Are Going
Poem by: Zombie Temple
Status: Finished
Genre: Poetry
The guns are going

i can't help you
i can't even try
i'm too scared to move
wer're all doomed

When I was 22 I had hired on as a brakeman and five months later I took a switch engine into the Hialeah power company warehouse to pull three empty flat cars. It was summer, 3 AM, clear and quiet, except for the 900 hp idling diesel with two headlights piercing the darkness from both ends.
I had trouble getting the cars to join when I heard BANG! BANG! BANG! I turned around and saw two white flashes immediately followed by the same reports. I had been awake all day and working like a zombie. My mind figured out I was being fired upon. I hit the ground as the last round was fired over my head.
Seeing the shadow figure leave (to reload) I laced up the cars, pulled out, closed and locked the gate, and sat down on the engine shaking.
The conductor laughed at me and took over my duties. As we went down a side track next to the warehouse, the conductor hailed the security guard who was walking with a wary crouch back to where we had been. "Hey old timer, we heard shots. What happened?"
"I had a prowler," replied the old Cuban, barely able to stand for his drink. "I think I wounded him." My anger rose and I wanted to smash in his face but I remained safely on the locomotive.
The engineer called the yard office, who called the police. After taking my statement, the officer asked if I wanted to press charges or just have him fired. I got him fired.

You are here: Home Reviews Levosert®
Levosert® is a new progestogen contraceptive coil approved for 3 years' use. It contains the same hormone and has the same size as Mirena®. The coil has local progestogenic effect. Levosert® is indicated for contraception and heavy menstrual bleeding and has the same contraceptive effectiveness (pearl-index) as Mirena® as well as the same risk profile.
The insertion method is slightly different (1), Levosert® being inserted using a two-handed technique like the Nova-T copper coil.
The purchase price of Levosert® is lower than Mirena®. However, since Levosert® is presently only approved for 3 years' use, the annual cost is higher compared to Mirena®, which is approved for 5 years' use.

Workers Independent News
By JoAnne Powers, May 3, 2016
In 2013, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and the state's Republican-controlled legislature made changes to state law adding a new basis for denying unemployment benefits to workers. While historically a discharged worker could only be denied unemployment if engaged in gross misconduct such as lying, cheating and stealing, the new law added something called "substantial fault'. Madison Labor and Employment attorney Marilyn Townsend says the legislature was very transparent in what it was trying to do:
[Marilyn Townsend]: "They said, essentially, they believed too many people were qualifying for unemployment benefits, and employers believed it was too difficult for them to prove misconduct…so the legislature projected that, with this new standard, they could save 19.1 million dollars in benefits per year."
Thousands of Wisconsin workers would likely have to be denied unemployment benefits every year in order to save that 19 million dollar figure. In an April ruling Townsend hopes will set a precedent, a Wisconsin Court of Appeals reversed a decision by the Labor Industry Review Commission, or LIRC, which had denied benefits to an elderly African American Walgreens worker. What exactly was her client's "substantial fault?"
[Marilyn Townsend]: "She made eight cash handling errors out of over 80,000 she engaged in over a period of twenty months. LIRC said she engaged in 'substantial fault' because there came a point where she shouldn't have been making these errors."
While the definition of 'substantial fault' is nebulous-at-best, the statute specifically says that it is not one or more inadvertent errors nor working to the best of your ability.
[Marilyn Townsend]: "We had a record that indicated these errors were inadvertent. LIRC agreed that she didn't intentionally commit wrongs. We said these inadvertent errors and the fact that she was working to the best of her ability actually restricted LIRC from denying her unemployment."
Townsend describes the reasoning behind the court's decision:
[Marilyn Townsend]: "Everyone makes errors on the job. These are the kinds of errors anyone would make. While we don't know what substantial fault is, we know what it is not. The legislature said it was not one or more inadvertent errors. Furthermore, the court said, she had a perfection rate of over 99 percent. Walgreens can fire here, essentially, for not being perfect, but she cannot be denied unemployment."

April 10: Asian session
US dollar hit a 5-month low versus a basket of currencies after the Fed's last meeting minutes undercut prospects for an increase in interest rates. EUR/USD slid to $1.3845 after reaching $1.3870 earlier today. GBP/USD returned to the opening level at $1.3890 after reaching $1.6820 earlier today.
USD/JPY is consolidating in the 102.15/101.60 area. Today the greenback fell versus yen. Demand for yen as a safe haven increased after China reported an unexpected drop in imports and exports by 11.3% and 6.6% respectively from the previous year.
Commodity currencies faced sellers in Asia. AUD/USD first rose to $0.9440 on better-than-expected labor market data. Unemployment rate fell to 5.8% (forecast: 6.1%), while the economy added 18K jobs (forecast: 7.3K, prior: 48.2K). However, news from China increased market concerns, pulling the Aussie down into the $0.9415 area. NZD/USD followed the AUD, first hitting $0.8745 and then retracing to $0.8715. NZ manufacturing expanded last month to the highest level since July (58.4 vs. prior 56.5). Gold extended the upside to $1317.

Phillies 10, Braves 5
Associated Press | Last updated February 28, 2013
Ryan Howard hit his first home run of spring training, an opposite-field drive to left off All-Star closer Craig Kimbrel that helped the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Atlanta Braves 10-5 Thursday. Howard put the Phillies ahead with an RBI double in the first against loser Paul Maholm. Howard, who didn't play until July last year while recovering from a torn left Achilles tendon, has started all six of Philadelphia's exhibition games this year and is 8 for 15 (.533) with three doubles and a homer. Every position player in the Phillies' starting lineup had a hit except for Jimmy Rollins. Howard, Chase Utley and Ben Revere all went 2 for 3, and John Mayberry Jr. homered against Cristhian Martinez in the sixth. In his second start, Cole Hamels allowed one run - unearned - and four hits in three innings. Hamels struck out four of his first seven batters and finished with five strikeouts and no walks. Maholm gave up five runs, six hits and two walks in 2 2-3 innings.
