A new girl gets rescued. I just randomly wrote this and never finished it... sorry
The teenagers laughed in triumph as the new girl sobbed heartedly. The sobs came out in great numbers, tears falling endlessly from her pale face. She was different to them, a freak by their standards, laughing at her pity. Her new "friends" laughed with them. For the first time since she'd come to this school, she felt alone.
The crowd parted and she held her sobs, rubbed her eyes and smiled. Daniel came storming through the crowd, head up, strong. His girlfriend wailed somewhere, she didn't care where. He stared at her with his bright blue eyes, he stood over her, smiling. The crowd was chanting, telling him to hit her, for this was what she deserved.
She believed this with her heart, she did deserve everything she got. Yet Daniel wasn't listening to them. He grabbed her hand and they walked away.

The third wheel.
It's your little brother tagging along on your first date.
It's the awkward crutch of a tricycle that, maybe unbeknownst to you at the time, keeps you from really moving.
It's that part during assembly that no one quite knows what to do with, and gets tossed aside as soon as someone discovers it's useless or unnecessary.
Except in battle.
Then, it's like bringing an extra knife, gun or pair of, hopefully capable, fists to the fight.
It can make the difference between win and lose, victory and defeat.
The latter holds true in football as well.
And for Oklahoma State, its special teams have been the iron maiden to their sword and shield.
On several occasions this season, the Cowboys' third unit has connected with the punch that sent their opponent spiraling, leaving their offense-defense tag team an easy target.
Most recently, punter-kickoff specialist Cole Farden, kicker Luke Phillips and punt returner Gabe Lindsay provided the dizzying blows.
Farden, much like he has been all season, played the role of a cannon, launching balls through the end zone for touchbacks on every kickoff against Kansas.
OSU ranks first in the Big 12 in kickoff coverage, allowing only 18.4 yards per return.
And Farden's other specialty?
He's No. 3 in the Big 12 in punting average at 43 yards per punt.
"A punter who's kicking it deep every time, a guy who kicks it off out of the end zone and the Big 12 special teams player of the week, Luke Phillips," said OSU coach Les Miles, "it really gives us an advantage."
Like aerial support in a ground war.
Phillips launched a few bombs Saturday, nailing three more field goals against Kansas and netting him Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week honors.
His catapult of a leg has connected on 15 of 16 field goals this season, including three for three from 50 yards and beyond. He has also put 46 of 47 extra point attempts through the uprights.
"I'm going to say we're, maybe, statistically the best special teams in the Big 12 Conference," Miles said. "We have the opportunity to have national honors at several spots."
In no position is that more true than punt returns, which brings the arsenal tour back to Lindsay.
Against the Jayhawks, Lindsay had two long punt returns, 37 and 44, that set up 10 Oklahoma State points.
His 37-yarder allowed for Shawn Willis' only touchdown in the game, and gave OSU its biggest lead at 30-13.
And still he has been dwarfed by cornerback-return man Darrent Williams, who averages 17.9 yards per punt return and has carried two back for touchdowns of 78 and 59 yards against Louisiana Lafayette.
Lindsay only has one touchdown return, a 55-yarder against Wyoming.
But Williams and Lindsay individually carry more explosiveness than any other return men in the Big 12, sitting at No. 1 and No. 2 respectively in punt return average.
Yes, they even sit above the lauded Oklahoma return specialist Antonio Perkins.
"That's an important advantage for us, and one we intend to press," Miles said.
It never hurts to bring a few howitzers to a gun fight.

No I didnt ask for autographs....
No I didnt ask for autographs....
Johnny was very thoughtful and professional with his commentary. I would however love to see his facial expressions as he speaks, since I am certain that one could read more impishness in his expressions that would expand upon the meaning of his carefully chosen words
Yeah, I like Johnny's commentary. TBH I didn't expect him to say so many nice things about Patrick either, but he did. Indeed very thoughtful and knowledgeable commentary.
I look forward to Johnny 'warming up' his zingers when the moment is 'right'
You're probably right. Let's see what he'll say at TEB. Anyway I'm still surprised (and glad) Johnny said Patrick has best skating skills, even better than Yuzru and Takahashi whom Johnny likes so much.

It seems you can't turn around anymore without bumping into some new innovation, but these 10 gadgets are our picks for some of the best gadgets to have recently hit the private consumer market. From robots that clean your windows to a portable fireplace - these are 10 hot gadgets we'd really love to own!
|The eco friendly toilet from Kohler comes with a motion activated seat and lid, a multiple option bidet wand, not to mention an air dryer, illuminated panels and foot warmer. Music lovers can enjoy built in speakers that connect by remote to a docking station. In short, anything you can ask of a toilet.
|Netatmo offers a great solution for clearing the air in your home. This fashionable device reports about air quality, humidity and the amount of carbon dioxide . It can also report on noise pollution. The reports can be sent to directly to your smart phone.
|Another device that owes its invention to NASA, the Airocide is the perfect companion to Netatmo's air pollution detector, as it purifies toxins from the air which might harm us. However, it doesn't use filters, but cutting edge nanotechnology to oxidize pathogens and clear the air. It isn't too hard on the eyes either.
|If you loved the idea of the Roomba - the robot vacuum cleaner that moves around the house on its own - you're gonna love Husqvarna - the automower! This robot does what Roomba does, only for cutting grass. Not only that, but in sunlight, its solar panel can maintain battery power and keep that mowing going indefinitely.
|Phone or keys, we always seem to forget one of them somewhere. So why not combine the two? Calypsckey is a device that lives inside your phone case and can unlock only the corresponding access points.
|Do you waste too much time and water in the shower? The Oras Eterna smart shower will lit a green light when you've crossed the 2 minute line, and then a red light will come on to show you that you've been in the shower for two long. You can also control the exact temperature of the water, and change types of flow with the a gentle touch.
|The sun table is a great way to save on energy costs. Just please it in direct sunlight for 4 hours to achieve a full charge, then you can put it back inside the house to charge your phones, laptops etc. The table is designed to resist any weather.
|Carry your fireplace around with this cool Zeta Fireplace, which you take anywhere. The Zeta is encased in leather and has a titanium interior. Of course, the biggest selling point it the portability.
|Don't do windows? There's a bot for that! Just fill the winbot with cleaning materials, attach it to a window and turn it on. This little bot will measure the window, map a cleaning pat and will spray, squeegee and wipe it, without you having to lift a finger.
|The Nest thermostat is a melding of beautiful design with cutting edge technology. This is the thermostat that really gets the time to know you. It has the ability to learn and remember details about your lifestyle and adjust the temperature accordingly. It will adjust the temperature when you are gone and again when you get home, and can also be remotely used via cellphone.

Is Britain on the brink of a soil crisis?
NewsMonday 23 June 2014
British soils are, on the whole, at risk of reaching crisis point, according to Shane Ward, the first director of the Soil and Water Management Centre.
It would seem common sense for farmers around the UK to do all they can to protect their soils, upon which they rely for their livelihood. And, in a large amount of cases British farmers are doing so - there are a large number of excellent farmers in this country who are well-informed and forward-thinking to maintain a productive future.
However, as the Guardian's George Monbiot puts it 'across large areas of land, short-termism now triumphs over common sense'.
Monbiot has a point. He went on to mention how the fact that farmers are often indebted to the banks, which leaves them seeking to clear these debts as quickly as possible. Many farmers are left growing crops that are incompatible with protecting the soil, and others don't seem to know much about soil erosion or why it happens.
Many farmers are not aware of the growing issues surrounding soil.
The advancements in agricultural machinery over the last 20 years have played a considerable role in damaging British soils. Tractors and other machinery have grown substantially over time and this is not good for the soil.
Not only are these machines heavier they are also deemed to be able to drive anywhere on their flotation tyres. These attitudes lead to soils becoming damaged as farmers were lulled into a false sense of security as they were unable to see the damage they were causing.
These larger heavier machines have been causing the issue of compaction to worsen. And, the use of flotation tyres means that these machines are being used on fields no matter the weather, when in the past smaller tractors would have sank.
Therefore, with no visual signs of damage, farmers are continuing to use their machinery on land that is not able to cope with the weight.
Farmers Weekly wrote 'it's all about machine management' and went on to stress that the newer generations of farmers aren't as focussed on soil due to the fact that they believe that modern flotation tyres prevent soil damage.
The situation has only worsened when you combine these attitudes with the collapse of drainage systems that have not been maintained and are deteriorating quickly.
Mr Ward was asked about the implications of the damage to soil in Britain and replied by saying that it's reducing the capability for good drainage and it's obvious that you get soil pans and structural damage from repeated damage over the years.
He went on to say: "I have no doubt that it is reducing crop yields, as well as contributing to increased disease and pest carryover between seasons."
According to a number of experts, soil scientists hold the key to sorting this issue out. However, Mr Ward stated that there are fewer of them right across the universities and research centres in the UK, which is an issue that has spread throughout the whole western world in the last 20 years.
The soil crisis is looming, and has been described as a 'wake up call' by Mr Ward who was involved in setting up the Soil and Water Management Centre at Harper Adams University in Shropshire.
This centre is aiming to help UK farming make the most of its most precious assets. Mr Ward said: "It is not just about research, but also a central source of existing information and advice."
He went on to say that it will offer practical soil and water management education and training and it will also co-ordinate farm-based workshops and demonstration projects.
The team at the centre are looking at a number of possible solutions for the soil issue including controlled traffic farming, whilst also looking at tracks versus tyres and their impacts on crop production and soil structure.

The room is very basic, just a comfortable double bed and a cupboard. One has to climb a breathtaking 90 stairs to get there. The view on the Bosporus and the Old City is also breathtaking.
The shared bathrooms and kitchen are OK. The hostel staff is accurate and very friendly.
A simple, but good Turkish breakfast is served.
It is situated in a nice, lively neighbourhood.
Close by, at the foot of Galata Tower, you will find restaurant Kiva (excellent food and best coffee) and restaurant Güney (delicious aplle pie ice cream).
We enjoyed being here.
It's very close to Galata tower and you can go to Istiklal street soon, very nice location.
The view from our room was really beautiful. The room, bathroom were clean. We enjoyed our stay in there.
Very good and clean place. We had corner room with fantastic view on Galata Bridge and rest of the city. Personal was very pleasant. Hostel placed in the best location and we enjoyed walking nearby. We'll definitely book again if we'll stay in Istanbul.
small, clean room with fantastic view in an old ottoman house.
It is part of a hostel , not private.
It is in the fourth floor, many steps to climb. Breakfast in hostel about a hundred metres away, but very turkish and absolute
okay.Many european schoolclasses around.
we had a very nice time at samane's. The room is not very big but exactly the same as the descrption and Samane is a lovely person!

Gathering - Part 2Mature
"So these are the Plains, huh?" Zane said, eyeing the expansive grasses that seemed to stretch out endlessly. It made him miss his home, despite hating the damn heat and sand. However, the cold is something he loathed. It had been cold enough in the Eastern Lands, but now the wind bit through his red coat like a sandreaver through leather.
"I forget how wimpy you sand dwellers are," Thorn mocked, "I don't mind being out here or even in the sand. Guess it's cause I'm so great, huh?"
Zane glared at her, but held his tongue. Woman was venom when given dialogue to work with. Instead, he changed the subject. "When did you go to Faerein?"
Thorn, for the first time sense he had met the woman, hesitated. "I've been everywhere, love." A nice recovery. "And I wasn't recovering," she added in response to his thought, "I simply... don't have good memories of my last visit."
"What, did you flirt with a taken lord?"
To his dismay, Thorn ignored him and started setting up for camp. "Give me fire, will you?"
"Ugh, you're useless without someone to invade, filthy woman." He lit a patch of long grass on fire with his Mystic, containing it by nearly freezing a ring of grass around the newly born flames. "Why are we camping with the sun still up?"
"Silly handsome knight of mine. Allow me to educate you!" Annoying, but Zane paid attention. As much as he hated her constant flirting and twisting of his words, he acknowledged Thorn as being... somewhat smart. "Close enough to a compliment for me!"
"Anyway, love," Thorn continued, pointing at a particularly worn path near them. "That is a Portal Ground. With luck, we will get a free ride to Mar by tomorrow night."
"You want to wait a whole damn day for a chance at one of those deranged bastards coming!?" Zane roared. "They got me into this mess in the first place!"
Thorn dismissed his anger with a smirk and a hand motion. Insufferable filthy woman! "Not all of them are bad. Porters have made a respectable business with their Mystics."
Zane growled but gave in. He knew they weren't ALL bad, but, sands, it felt wrong to rely on those bastards. Void had cost Faerein its last queen, the former princess, dozens of kidnapped children, and, of course, Zane's brother. But.... He thought of the hero, Jeroha. They weren't all bad, but dammit...
"Just trust me, love," Thorn said, surprisingly nice instead of her usual mocking tone, "I know the Porter who comes through here. We will get your adorable brother back before you can even confess your undying love for me."
A grunt escaped Zane. "Then he'll be here between tomorrow and eternity."
Thorn smiled slyly. "Don't pout, now, little lordling. It'll ruin that pretty face."
"I'll ruin your face."
"Sadly, that was the best one you had up there."
Filthy woman...
Rahzin smiled as he walked along the plains, thinking over his plans. Monstroth would see, he would! The man had a heart of gold, after all, and... well, he was Rahzin's best friend. Together, they could save this world from it's own diseases. The lizards, the wars, the criminals....
'But,' a small voice said, 'Aren't I a criminal as well?'
The voice was crushed in an instant through sheer force of will. No! It wasn't his fault. Rahzin didn't have control when he... ki... ki.... when Saeron died. The Darkness inside him had caused it. Yes, that Darkness that so many Void Users had that made them unstable. Surely, Monstroth and even Craetor would understand, right? He could return home, then...
No, plan! He had to fix this world before he went home. His portals were taking forever to travel with, due to not knowing the location, but he was nearing Mar. Somehow, he knew all the people he needed would be there too...
"It's so close to completion!"
"You awake, love?"
Zane groaned in response. It was well into the night. Why was she still up. Sands, he had even stopped swearing as much to make her leave him alone! That should warrant a medal of honor by itself. "What do you want, woman?"
"You think about your brother a lot."
That was... odd. Thorn was speaking normally. No sarcastic tinge to her words, no backhanded compliments, not even her sickly sweet accent she used from time to time. Just a normal tone he would hear from a regular girl. Sands! Was she dying or something!?
No, she wanted a reaction.
"Of course, you idiot," Zane snapped, looking across the plains from his position on his makeshift bedroll. "It's my job to look after and protect that annoying sandreaver."
"Because you promised your mother?"
Was that a question? "Don't you already know?"
Movement. "No," Thorn said, "I can only look through images from your past and take a guess. It's like skimming through a book." Why was the damn woman closer? "But every memory I look through with you, I see you trying to protect people and keeping him safe."
"You're just an idiot." Zane growled as memories of Arch came up. If he hadn't watched the stupid kid then he might not be alive. Zane didn't have a choice but to keep him alive. Forget the promise to his mother - how could he watch his brother die from his own stupidity?
"I know."
Zane turned over to confront the stupid woman's odd behavior, but was frozen as soon as he saw Thorn. Sands, she was naked!
Thorn was on all four of her limbs, paused in her cat walk toward him, showing her scarred body in it's entirety. Her hair was messy, but Zane wasn't worried about that in the least. No, he was more distracted by the insanity of this woman.
"What are you.."
Zane's voice was lost as his lips were halted by an invading kiss. For all that his mind screamed to react with insults and push her away, he couldn't. He hated it, at least a part of him did, but he knew why he couldn't, too.
In all his life, Zane had never had someone to compete with or share companionship with. No friends, for fear insulting him would invoke the wrath of his family name, and no real lovers out of reluctance to become just another lord's fling. No, he had never truly had anyone to stand beside him as an equal. They were all either above or below him....
Except Thorn.
In that revelation, Zane was without rational thought for the rest of the night.

Eight of the nine pavement plaques that run through a housing estate in Hither Green at exactly zero longitude were taken 13 months after being fitted. The plaques follow the north-south line used as the reference point to measure Greenwich Mean Time.
Lewisham councillor Andrew Milton described the thieves as "barbarians", adding: "It's vandalism, destroying a monument and stealing artwork to melt down for scrap for the sake of a few measly pounds."
The plaques were created by Deptford artist Stephen Lewis and unveiled by Lewisham mayor Sir Steve Bullock in April last year.
Mr Lewis said: "They couldn't have just lifted them up as they were cemented in - someone's really had a go at this."

This story is the second of four shorts, followed by a novella and all of which revolve around the same arc: The Horizons Saga.
Read on!
The Horizons Saga
Part Two of Four
The sun was unusually hot in the sky that summer morning. Astrid shifted and settled further onto the shoulders of her female Deadly Nadder, the dragon's glistening scales shining brightly in the daylight. The young Viking warrior squeezed her legs against the Nadder's withers and she tittered docilely in reply, taking to the skies without another word.
Astrid's pack was deceivingly light upon her side, the tan-skinned pouch nestled comfortably at the juncture of her hip and thigh. She risked her grip on her makeshift saddle, one of the first Gobber-made prototypes based off of Hiccup's newfound designs, and made sure that the clasp was still intact. It was crucial that her precious cargo arrived safe and sound.
Within fifteen minutes she was in sight of her village, the island of Berk jutting up obstinately against the horizon. She pressed herself closer to the dragon's vibrant scales and urged the eager Nadder onwards, remaining silent the rest of the way.
They landed in the middle of the village square amidst a bedlam of motion, with dragons flying this way and that and panicking villagers scampering in their demented wake. She hopped off of her steed and petted the bright dragon fondly, finding that sensitive spot beneath her chin with relative ease. The beast cooed blissfully and followed her young rider up the steepest of the slopes in the village; Astrid had only one particular destination in mind.
She had become quickly acquainted with the female healer that had been entrusted to Hiccup and met up with her and her newly acquired apprentice about halfway up the crag. The practitioner was one of the only experienced ones that still remained and hung on after the battle of the Red Death, and she was being stretched long beyond her tolerance due to their decimated numbers. But here she was, standing with her hands on her armoured hips and her apprentice standing sentinel at her side, the diminutive helper looking even more emancipated in comparison to the mountainous woman that was Róta, in all her ferocious glory.
Astrid smiled as she neared the great woman, eager to hand over the herbs she had plucked from an island about two days away, providing you used customary travel. She rested her palm on the Nadder's nose and rubbed it gently; dragons were starting to become far more useful than one would have initially believed.
Róta took the bundle of herbs in her outstretched fingers and examined the large parcel carefully, bringing the flowers to her nose and breathing in deeply. She smiled approvingly and paced her hand on the young Viking's shoulder, a warm gesture from which she felt great appreciation. Astrid smiled inwardly, beaming over the clever find – if it would make Hiccup better that much faster, she would do just about anything.
They settled at the top of the hill and sat at the crest of the chief's home, resting their tired legs upon the house's wooden steps. Róta's apprentice drew a mortar and pestle from the round pack that she carried and handed it to her master, readily waiting for her next orders. Róta nodded and began listing off a series of ingredients that she would need for her poultice, loosing Astrid in her complex list of sages and thymes. She looked on curiously, eager to see what the healer would do next.
Róta took one set of herbs and began to steep them in spring water, tying their thorned stems together with twine. She stirred them frequently, dying the water until it turned a bright evergreen. She removed the bundle from the bowl and had her apprentice dry the stalks with a woven cloth before plucking each saturated leaf from its stem one by one. She tossed them into the wooden mortar as Róta continued plucking leaves from other herbs and shaving stems so that only the tender hearts remained. Finally, the slender apprentice began to grind the herbs together with the heavy pestle, pulverizing them into a smooth liquid mixture so that no lumps remained.
"Gísla, the friggheidrun please," Róta said, breaking the peaceful silence as her apprentice handed over the cluster of rare blooms carefully in their bundle. The healer gently peeled the cloth from the delicate flowers and set them on her lap in front of her to examine.
"Well chosen," she declared boisterously, glancing over towards Astrid, "These are at their ripest, perfect for what we need."
"Thank you," the young rider replied, fighting to keep the blush from showing on her features, "I'd do it again, no problem."
The healer saw right through her words and grinned, "Of course you would."
Róta began to pick the petals off of the largest of the lilies, studying them carefully, "The petals are poisonous, you see. It's the hearts of the styles you want, the ovaries or what have you."
Astrid turned up her nose, "They smell horrible!"
Róta laughed, "They're just starting to rot. This is good."
"Rot?" Astrid grimaced, "Since when has mould been a good thing?"
"Since some idiot discovered it!" Róta began peeling the style away, grasping the fragile filaments between her thumb and forefinger, "It fights the infection almost instantly. I've been giving it to him in the honey but it's not taking to him as well as I would like. Placing the mould right on the wounds will be one Hel of a shock to the system but it'll be better than having him fight it off on his own."
"So he is getting worse then…"
Róta was sympathetic, "Of course he is. It always gets worse before it gets better."
"Or it doesn't get better at all," Astrid murmured in reply.
"Hmmf," the healer pursed her lips, "He wasn't supposed to make it past three hours, let alone six days. Have some faith in the boy; the gods must have some plan for him to have him live for this long, after that no less."
Astrid turned her head away as if she were ashamed, "I just wish he'd wake up."
"I know," Róta placed her great hand upon her shoulder, "So do I. So do all of us."
The middle ages was the first time that the use of penicillin as an antibiotic treatment was recorded, and I can only assume that the practice was founded long before that because really, people in the middle ages were idiots. And Astrid's dragon remains unnamed for a reason - everyone makes such a big deal about it! There's one author out there who bust her nuts over the name of her dragon and damn...it was a little crazy. So name her whatever you so desire!

Review: Elephant Car Insurance
In summary
Elephant was the first company to provide car insurance online, and their customers rate them 8.8 out of 10 on the reviews website Reevoo. Expert reviews of their car insurance are slightly less favourable, with Defaqto rating Elephant 3 stars out of 5, and Which? scoring them 56%.
See whether Elephant made it into our list of the Top 10 Car Insurance companies in 2016.
Background to Elephant Car Insurance
Elephant.co.uk is a Cardiff based can insurance company formed in August 2000. When it launched, it was the first UK car insurance provide to operate solely online, although it does also employ call centres for customers to contact. Elephant.co.uk is a trading name of EUI Limited and is a subsidiary of the Admiral group.
Overview of cover provided by Elephant car insurance
In their own words, Elephant aims to offer "No nonsense, great value, straightforward car insurance". Like most car insurance providers, Elephant offer three types of cover: Third Party Only, Third Party Fire & Theft and Comprehensive.
Third Party Only is the most basic type of cover and is the minimum legal requirement for car owners. It covers any damage you may do to other people and their property (such as them and their car in a collision). As well as this usual cover, Elephant's Third Party Only policy also comes with up to 90 days European cover and flexible payment options.
Third Party, Fire & Theft gives you the third party liability cover that comes with Third Party Only, and also covers you if your vehicle if damaged or destroyed in a fire or is stolen.
Comprehensive cover offers all of the above, but also covers your own vehicle for damage caused in an accident. Elephant's comprehensive cover includes a courtesy car, stereo cover up to £1,250 or 15% of the value of your car (whichever is lower), personal injury cover to £5,000, windscreen cover and up to £300 for sports equipment.
You can also choose to upgrade your personal injury cover up to £100,000, choose from 3 different levels of breakdown cover and add keycare cover up to £1,500.

How much does Elephant insurance cost?
As with all car insurance providers, it's difficult to make generalisations about policy costs because they depend so heavily on the circumstances of the driver(s) buying, the car being insured, the area they live in and so on.
Elephant insurance is aimed at young people (hence the sports equipment and stereo covers). Younger drivers have historically had problems getting affordable insurance quotes – sadly this hasn't yet been resolved as broadly speaking prices from any providers are still high for drivers under 23. Elephant say they work hard to keep their premiums as low as possible – for example they are an online-only provider to keep overheads low.

Bacon Found In City Park - Hate or a Hoax?
Leaving bacon in a park is a hate crime? The more interesting questions is how in the hell does bacon remain in a park without being eaten by animals? Smells like a Hate Hoax.
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Police are investigating an unusual bias crime on Staten Island.
Muslims who gathered for prayer to celebrate the end of Ramadan in a city park found bacon scattered on the ground, CBS 2's John Slattery reported Monday.

Thats why the Muslims are so uptight everybody loves bacon including Muslims. If they would just have a baconator they could relax.ReplyDeleteReplies
yep, same goes for the finnsDelete
Dino's on the road to doggy hell. No 72 bitches for him when he dies.ReplyDelete
Could someone use turkey bacon? Would it then be a problem if the turkeys were slaughtered facing Mecca and after reciting the shahada?ReplyDelete

Just a little bit of Six/Holiday fluff I just whipped up for ya guys! 'Cause I'm magical like that! Well, er, not really- not really at all. Darnnnnn. :(
I don't own a single thing... blah... blah... etc... etc...
"Enjoying the party?"
Startled and caught off guard, Agent Six's gaze searched avidly for the owner of the voice, only to find that it was an approaching Dr. Holiday, all dressed up in a beautiful, flowing designer gown that Six suddenly couldn't take his eyes off of...
"What? Um, sure." Six muttered, his mind elsewhere. Truthfully, Six was doing EVERYTHING but enjoying the party. He loathed parties. Parties were no good, overrated celebrations for people with nothing better to do than drink. Whoever it was that had thought up the aggravating idea of throwing Rex a birthday party was toast. First, he'd hunt them down. Then, he's throw a couple dozen solid punches, then he'd...
"Good. Because it was all my idea, you know." Holiday smiled a beautiful, serene smile that took Six's breath away.
And Six finished his train of though.
Then, he'd abruptly apologize.
"Oh, well, good for you." Six grumbled, suddenly becoming very interested in one of his untied shoelaces.
"Look." Holiday took a step closer, and, at this act of what Six considered "intrusion of one's personal space", he bolted upright once more to look down into her big, shimmering, chocolate-brown eyes, and found that he was much closer to her now than he'd anticipated before. And he was suddenly entranced by the way the soft, low-light of the dimly lit room was made into a mirror image as he gazed down into her onyx irises. Her perfect, twinkling, sparkling, onyx irises...
"I just wanted to come over to check up on you." Holiday continued, noticeably quite aware of the limited space between herself and Six, as her breathing began to escape her lungs at uneven rates. "You looked so unhappy out here, alone." She murmured softly, her hand slowly reaching up to rest on Six's shoulder comfortingly.
Jumping at her unexpected touch but not forcing her to unhand him, Six's heart suddenly switched into hyper-drive as he realized that Holiday actually cared about him, that she didn't want him to be unhappy. And that fact made him feel...
Happy. No, more like ecstatic. Six blinked in shock a few times as his mind consumed the idea of him actually having feelings for Holiday.
Feelings... since when did he feel ANYTHING?
Finally remembering that Holiday had recently said something, and, naturally, since they were now fully engaged in a conversation, it was his turn to say something...
"I'm fine." He muttered gruffly, turning his head to the side so that he wouldn't have to look at her and feel so many complicated, mind-boggling emotions in a split second. Because Six so badly wanted to just crawl back into his mean, harsh, tough shell that served as a prominent method of taking on life, and the only thing in his way: a stunningly gorgeous, intelligent doctor that was constantly prying at this shell of his and trying so hard to tear it away.
And Six couldn't let her. If he did, he knew he'd never hear the end of it from all of the allies and enemies combined that had seen him put on this tough-guy shell...
"Six," Holiday's voice suddenly rang loud and clear, washing away all of his current thoughts.
"You can lie to me that you're fine. But are you really going to lie to yourself?" Holiday sighed. "I know who you are, beneath all of this." She stepped closer, so close to him now that Six was completely and thoroughly intoxicated by her memorizing scent of breath-taking, wild lilacs. "Be who you really are." Holiday coaxed, her voice now in a near-whisper. "Come have fun with us. With me."
And as her words hung in the now silent air like the endless echoing of a gunshot, the end of her sentence seemed to hold a noticeably larger amount of emotion than the rest of it.
Six was beyond the capability of forming words, now. He could hardly get himself to think, let alone breathe. Holidayhad stolen all of the breath right from him.
And she apparently wasn't yet done.
Because it was in that moment that Holiday's eyelids fluttered shut, and she leaned in slow, painfully slow, to meet her lips to his...
Only to by pushed back by the obnoxious force of Six's sunglasses sticking out from his face.
Sighing with exasperation, Holiday glared up angrily at Six. "And just why do you wear these... things... indoors?" She inquired sternly, pointing accusingly up at his shades.
"I... I feel lost without them." Six mumbled stupidly, still so severely taken aback by the event that had just almost occurred.
"Lost? More like insecure." A little smirk spread over Holiday's face like warm butter. "Let me help." After realizing her intentions by these words, Six tensed a bit, as he had never let anyone touch his sunglasses besides himself. But this was different. Because he wanted her to.
Holiday's sturdy hands reached up and slowly removed his sunglasses, revealing a pair of dark, obsidian eyes shaded the colors of midnight.
The pair of eyes that instantaneously enchanted Holiday, and drew her closer.
"You have beautiful eyes." Holiday whispered breathlessly, her lips now only inches from Six's as she gazed up into his irises with an awestruck expression, a single tear trickling down her cheek.
And with that, Holiday finished where she had left off, pressing her lips firmly to his as her eyelids drifted shut, her arms instinctively snaking up around his neck.
Fully mesmerized by Holiday's actions, Six let himself return the kiss eagerly, he let himself wind his arms tightly around her waist.
Just like he wanted to.
And, he found that he suddenly wasn't afraid anymore of what others thought of him. He wasn't afraid to be thought of as weak or kind-heated. Because he liked it, he liked the strong emotions he felt for Holiday, and he didn't want to hold them back anymore...
And then as suddenly as it started, the kiss was over. Holiday and Six were left to gaze lovingly into each others eyes, tears lingering down their cheeks as they smiled blissfully at one another.
It was the first time Six had ever let anyone see beneath his shades.
It was the first time he had ever been kissed.
And it was the first time he had ever felt fully loved.
Awwwwwwww, soooo cute! OkeyDokes! So, that's all for this fluffy little one-shot. BUT I PROMISE MORE! Anyways, hope you all enjoyed it! Don't forget to review if you love me! Kandi is OUT!

Heading west to Bordeaux
Another long bus ride, but the lovely green scenery made the time pass quickly. The bus company i used this time is punctual, and arrives on time.
The first day out starts out as a lovely day, so plenty of walking to be done. Bordeaux is so different to Lyon. The buildings seem to be a lot older. I am impressed at what i see, and the more i explore the more impressed i am. It is a very low rise city due to the weakness of the subsoil. The ...
An amazing day in Bordeaux
... meal - I had salmon cerviche and kidneys for the main. Yum. Amr for his entree had the special, which turned out to be shellfish, to be pulled out of their shells, as you do snails, and dipped in mayonnaise. Something new (and a bit weird - tasty, but a bit tough to me) they were like those pointy conical shells that you find on the beach - he had to lever them out with an instrument! And they were a curly shape like the shell! Off to sleep now. Almost ...
Paris without being in Paris
... their affection for Bordeaux. Their description......."like Paris, only cheaper and quieter." So after a good sleep in a bed that actually contained my long frame, we took to the streets for a Bordeaux adventure.

Saint-Émilion, très beau!
... on the various esters that may be in the wine (D was good at guessing, me not so much!), and information boards told the tale of production from winter pruning through growth of the grape to wine-making, aging and bottling. Interesting!

Bordeaux, I will remember you
... You run down to the water like a kid, you just cannot wait a second longer. When you are going down the sand is much more friendly and thus the coasting is quick and exciting. There are white sailboats close by, the water is not cold at all and very peaceful. We were there when the season was already over and thus the beach was not croweded at all: just a couple of "bodies" lying on the sand. We took a little walk along the beach and it was funny: while we were walking, the ...

What will happen to me with the calorie deficiency? I've plenty of fat reserves…
Current plan is: 100g Oats in the morning, dry.
Lunch/All day: 100g Nuts
Dinner: Various dehydrated Meals.
Not a lot, will be doing this for 10 days. Am I mad? Should I at least add some dried fruits?Jul 16, 2009 at 12:10 pm #1514319

Yes, the fruits would be a good addition.
A multi-vitamin, too, is an almost necessity given that diet.

Yea that would be rough for 10 days. I might be kinda hypoglycemic but i find that when i dont get enough to eat on multi-day trips, i get a little sleepy while hiking and i have a really hard time getting out of bed in the morning.

1300 calories per day is a pretty restricted calorie intake even for someone who is sedentary. For someone trying to cover distance, frankly, I think it is ill advised. I would guess that you are trying to loose weight, reduce your pack weight, or both. At 1300 cal/day, I suspect you would probably loose as much muscle weight as you would fat. Loss of muscle can really make you feel lousy; weak, head-achy and crampy. A lot of this comes from by products of protein breakdown; some, I suspect, from incipient malnutrition. You could probably do what you are planning but I don't think you would enjoy yourself.
I hiked the JMT last summer on 2700 cal/day. For the first few days there was no problem; the combination of fatigue, altitude and dehydration really reduces ones appetite. Beyond those first days, my appetite returned and I felt that I had almost enough food, mostly. But, I lost nearly ten pounds on the through-hike. I don't think I would have enjoyed having much less food along though.
I think you may want to re-think your food planning; especially if you want to enjoy the trip.Jul 16, 2009 at 12:58 pm #1514333

If I'm remembering correctly an adult male body will go in to starvation mode if you consume under 1500 a day. You're highly likely to go in to ketosis as well.
How tall are you? How much do you weigh? How old?Jul 16, 2009 at 1:34 pm #1514344
I'm 25, am 5 foot 9 tall and weigh 177 pounds.
Loaded up for 10 days, my packweight is 9.6kg, inc food on this diet.
I'm thinking of adding some pumpernickle, dried fruit to the mix, possibly some salami too.Jul 16, 2009 at 1:58 pm #1514345

I calculate that you need 18-1900 as a base. That assumes zero activity so I'd carry at least that much.Jul 16, 2009 at 2:03 pm #1514346

Ray Jardine in Trail Life makes a big point about NOT skimping on food. He's thinking more about mega-hikes (AT, PCT, CDT) so maybe you'd be ok for 10 days.
But if lack of food clouds your judgment, or makes you light-headed and you trip and injure yourself, you might find yourself in a big heap of trouble, or worse.
It is not clear to me that relying on fat reserves will work, as others have pointed out. I personally wouldn't take such a chance.Jul 16, 2009 at 2:28 pm #1514350

Sounds like no fun. Is fun part of your goal? What usually happens when people bring too little food: 1) they quit 2) they mooch off others 3) they call in unjustified rescues.
A side note. A few years ago there was a somewhat off kilter guy doing a long hike on the pct. His diet: 2 poptarts and three cups of coffee a day. He claimed to have lost 80 pounds in just over two weeks. The "before" photo contrasted with him lifting up his shirt to everyone seemed to support it. I told him that he was risking a heart attack. Most other thruers said similar things and there was even talk of calling some sort of psycological services. His enthusiasm for the endeavor wasn't tarnished though.Jul 16, 2009 at 3:08 pm #1514357

You would lose weight hiking.
Also, rapid weight loss can pull toxins and ickies out of your fat stores – and those are not good in large rushes to your liver!
So while one can in theory live on 1300 a day, I cannot imagine you'd find a Doctor that would say it is a great idea when you must rely on so little.
As well, beyond brain function food fuels your inner heat. Starving yourself you will be much colder – and again, more likely to make mistakes if your blood sugar gets too low.
As well, consider this: if you don't get enough food your body will consume your muscles also. And that is what you don't want to be doing!Jul 16, 2009 at 3:59 pm #1514373

Would not worry about toxins in your body being released. BUT- you need far more calories than you have allowed. At least add some probars or big sur bars to you menu. They taste good and have lots of calories. Endurance athletes consume vast amounts of calories- on the tour de france 10000 calories would not be excessive. You might not exert yourself like Lance, but you will need far more than usual. Even if you want to lose weight you should eat far more than 1300 calories.Jul 16, 2009 at 4:28 pm #1514381

someone correct me if my calculations are wrong—100gms oats=360 cals—-100gms pine kernals= 700 cals—total 1060 cals—surely a dehydrated meal is more than the 240 cals so where is the total figure of 1300 cals coming fromJul 16, 2009 at 7:39 pm #1514435

Nuts are a bad idea for this type of diet. Your main source of calories should be complex carbs/protein. You need this to burn your fat reserves and to avoid metabolism of your muscles. Dont take dry fruit or any sugar. This affects fat metabolism.
How much fat reserves do you have? You will need a LOT for 10 days.
I am currently experimenting with sugar free crunchy muesli: rolled oats, wheat flakes, oat and wheat bran, apple juice concentrate. I enjoy it as a snack. 12%protein/75%carbs. On my hike next weekend I plan on taking whey protein concentrate or roasted soy and sugar free muesli. My hikes are short and I would like to convert as much body fat to lean mass as possible.
For hikes longer then a week, if you run out of fat reserves you will need to eat 3000-5000 cal/day depending on terrain/pace to avoid burning your muscles. Nuts, seeds, legumes, peanut butter and cheese are good high fats/high proteins food.
Keep in mind that the key to make such a diet work is to learn controlling your pace. Make sure you are NEVER out of breath specially on uphills. Whether 1300 cal will be enough will depend on many factor such as your food choices, terrain, pace, metabolism, fitness, walking technique etc.
But unless you want to dig nutritional science, I suggest you listen to others.Jul 16, 2009 at 7:46 pm #1514437

"I've plenty of fat reserves.."
Yes, you are mad.
You will feel miserable, lose muscle and fantasize like crazy about pizza. But worst of all is that your body will over-compensate after the event, and you will very likely end up putting on more weight than you lost (and more of that weight will be fat instead of muscle). It would be a very unhealthy type of weight loss.Jul 16, 2009 at 8:31 pm #1514448

"I'm 25, am 5 foot 9 tall and weigh 177 pounds."
How much of that 177# is spare body fat?
If you have, say, 15# of "healthily burnable" fat, that would provide you with ~52,500 potential calories of energy if you had adequate dietary carbs to support its metabolism plus enough protein to keep your body from cannibalizing itself. If you hiked at ~2.5 miles/hour you would probably be burning in the neighborhood of 30% carbs, 5% protein, and 65% fat. I have figured out by trial and error, some study, and post trip analysis of my body weight differentials that I burn around 4000-4200 calories/day of which ~65% come from fat. If you burn calories at even close to that rate, you would need maybe 45,000 calories for a 10 day trip, allowing some extra for your greater weight(I weigh 137#). 65% of that figure would be ~29,250 calories from fat; 30% of that figure works out to be 13,500 calories from carbs, and 2250 calories from protein. Based on this you would need to carry 13,500/4 calories per gram = 3375 grams of carbs/~28 grams per ounce = 120.5 oz/16 oz per pound = ~7.5# of carbs to burn 7.2# of excess body fat on your 10 day trip, based on parameters I have found work for me over the last several years. Even if my parameters are of by 20-25%, either for you specifically, or just for everybody but me, you have plenty of body fat to get the job done, provided you carry enough carbs to support its metabolism. I didn't do the math for 5% protein, but it's a trivial exercise. Bottom line, you should carry 7.5 to perhaps 11# of complex carbs and whatever the protein at 5% works out to be to have a chance of pulling this off without doing yourself some serious damage. Good luck if your heart is set on this.
The figure of 5% protein is meant to refer to protein for energy production. Total recommended daily intake of protein is considerabley higher. Estimates vary, but one recommendation specifically for endurance athletes in "Exercise Physiology" 6th Edition by McArdle, Katch, and Katch, p. 40, is 1.2-1.8 grams per kilogram of body mass. I carry 70-75 grams per day for a body mass of 65 kg and it seems to work fine, so far. NO detectable weakness, loss of lean muscle.Jul 16, 2009 at 9:08 pm #1514454

Impressive math Tom, however I don't think the human body can so effectively burn all your available fat like that in a span of 10 days. I don't think fat on your body is like gas in your car's tank.Jul 16, 2009 at 11:37 pm #1514482

With that diet you will burn muscle and not fat. Protein is very important for muscle recovery, and even ultralight backpacking can be tough on the muscles. I would highly recommend you reconsider, but I am no doctor or nutritionist so this is strictly based on my knowledge of the subject.Jul 17, 2009 at 7:55 pm #1514711

Have you ever tried it, Kevin, or read up on exercise physiology? I tried it willy nilly, then read up on it and then went back and tried it again in a more disciplined manner. It works just like it's supposed to, at least for me. It's not as precise as a gas tank; after all the body is not a car, but you can sure get in the ball park fairly quickly and then refine your intake more precisely as you gather data, trip by trip. Maybe think about it some more?Jul 17, 2009 at 11:50 pm #1514740
Kevin YangMember
Tom, sorry If I came off the wrong way. When I said impressive math, I meant that, because I'm the same way, I calculate everything.
I have done a lot of research on nutrition since I started weight training 2 years ago. I have gone on for months on carefully planned diets to bulk up or cut fat. I've planned and tracked daily calorie and carb/protein/fat intake as well as calories expensed. I'm not a pro though by any means.
What I learned is that in any given short period of time (a week, 10 days), my body can act in unpredictable ways. You can plan and think "well, if i have a calorie deficit of x calories per day, then in 1 week I should lose x pounds". But that's rarely the case.
Now, over a longer period of time, the weight change will approximate my original estimations.Jul 18, 2009 at 8:56 am #1514778

@arichardson6Locale: North East
Great post Tom. Those are some neat calculations, but they rely on knowing how much healthy burnable fat one has. I'm interested in learning more about this so I have a few questions.
1. I am wondering if you could explain a bit about how one knows how much "healthy burnable" fat they have.
2. From where did you get the percentages for how many carbs, proteins, and fat are burnt while hiking? Are those numbers standard?
3.Can you explain the process for finding out that you burned ~65% fat from your total calorie loss each day?
Geez, I'm sorry I have a lot of questions, but I just find this very interesting. You can certainly recommend a source (Is it the Exercise Phys book?) and I can try to learn more myself. Your explanation just really helped to make sense of what is probably somewhat complicated when read from a book and applied to backpacking!
Thanks!Jul 18, 2009 at 1:15 pm #1514819

Apparently the New Yorker is facing flagging sales, or maybe David Remnick stared at the abyss of irrelevance and said, "we need to shake this mofo up."
I'm guessing the latter is the excuse for this week's ridiculous, offensive, unnecessary cover of Barack and Michelle in Taliban drag doing the ol' terrorist fistbump.
I've long been a reader and admirer of the New Yorker, and under Remnick's stewardship the magazine has managed to balance classic, analysis-of-a-paperclip solipsism with real political might thanks to the contributions of folks like Hendrick Hertzberg, Seymour Hersh, George Packer, and the increasingly wonderful Elizabeth Kolbert. Its spread may not often reach beyond the the Hudson and East Rivers, or across the Long Island Channel, but, especially with Hersh's exposes of the Bush Administration's approach to Iran, every so often they've nailed something nobody else could.
That's why this cover (just link to it; it's too embarrassing to reproduce, and Don Hazen's original and linked outrage is helpful) is such a incredible letdown. Instead of including the drawing on the inside pages, as an accompaniment to a the opening Talk of the Town piece, Remnick and co. pour diesel on the fires of racism and prejudice that have been lapping at Obama's campaign from the start. Not sure if Obama's really a terrorist? Here's an image to keep in your head for the rest of the campaign.
Of course, the New Yorker may just be too irrelevant to mainstream America to make much of an impact, shocking cover or no. But this move stinks as a PR ploy, and I wish they could have reached for a new audience with another superb Hersh expose rather than appealing to the ugliest side of the campaign.

Diary Room: Steven Moses Interviews Christopher Catalano Of Kassting Inc| May 26, 2017 at 8:00 AM EDT
Please welcome Steve Moses, winner of Big Brother 17, as our guest this season with his series of articles giving us a new insight to the game and what's going on behind the scenes. With the preseason mode set to casting for Big Brother 19 we thought it'd be appropriate and interesting for our readers to find out more about how the Big Brother cast is discovered and brought together each season. No better way to answer those questions than by one of the top players at Kassting Inc. – Matt
Christopher Catalano is a senior casting producer for Big Brother 19, and has been casting for over a dozen seasons of Big Brother USA and Canada. He defines himself as "Robyn's right-hand man." If you've ever submitted an online video, he's likely the one who watched it. If you ever attending a casting call, you probably interviewed with him. If you attended an affiliate call, he's likely the one who watched your submission from there, too. He does many of the semi-final interviews, including my own. I never heard his name prior to applying for my season, but I quickly learned he's one of the most critical yet unheard of people in the casting process. If you want to compete on Big Brother, you'll have to get through Christopher Catalano. I recently had the privilege of talking to him about what it's like casting for Big Brother and his tips for applicants:

Ed Miliband's conference speech announcements would not be a game changer for the NHS; 36,000 more staff would increase the headcount by 2 per cent. An extra £2.5 billion would run the service for just over a week.
The new taxes to pay for this are suspect. The mansion tax would take years to set up. Smoking taxes disproportionately hit those on lower incomes. Miliband wants to target London's oligarchs and hedge funders but if they then leave London, they leave a hole in the NHS budget.
The best way to sustain the service is to change the way it works. So much can be done to get value from the £110 billion per year that the NHS already spends. Miliband reminds us that Opposition leaders like to pose as the defender of the NHS against change; before 2010, David Cameron played that card too. Whoever wins the next election will have to address real problems in the service. Both Miliband and Cameron would do well to make that case well before next May.
Andrew Haldenby, director, Reform
The audibly louder applause for the NHS section of Miliband's speech shows this is something people really wanted to hear, after a long wait for effective opposition from Labour to the Coalition's NHS reforms.
Is it enough? Miliband promises £2.5 billion a year, but the annual funding gap is closer to £4 billion. When Labour's other pledge to repeal the competition clauses of the Health & Social Care Act works through, the combination of extra spending and savings may reach the required total.
What is now needed is a commitment to tackle other pressures on the NHS: ending disastrous PFIs and cutbacks to local authorities, which have brought serious underfunding of social care, with expensive knock-on effects. Restoring resources and pride to local government would help repair some of the damage caused by Coalition austerity policies. It could also boost Labour's credibility at local level after fudged messages on English votes for English laws and English devolution.
John Lister, London Health Emergency
Ed Miliband and Ed Balls have outlined taxes on the so-called wealthy — a £2 million "mansion tax", a 50 per cent top rate of income tax and more as-yet-unspecified taxes.
In many parts of the capital, the first of these would not mean the wealthiest funding Labour's promises, but hard-working middle-class families. In Westminster, some 15,000 properties would be caught. Thousands of families who have bought homes over the past decade, most of whom would be unable to afford them if they had to buy them today, will find themselves liable for tens of thousands in extra tax.
This ill-thought-through policy will jeopardise the recovery and drive out wealth generators. Have Miliband and Balls not learned from the disastrous impact of President Hollande's economic policies, which have seen £17 billion of assets transferred to Belgium alone? We are determined London will not befall the same fate.

Murray row says so much
I am no big fan of tennis or Andy Murray. But pretty much everything most Scots dislike about us English was on display in the "Tweetgate" affair. Murray's views on independence are clearly borderline, as are many right now, which makes our muddled reaction of possessiveness and anger more dangerous. It reinforces the stereotypical view that England has to "own" the union. If we were to show a little more confidence and maturity, we might win a few more Scottish hearts and minds. Meanwhile, the media could consider dialling down its hysteria and in return our sports stars might perhaps not be quite so dull.
Alex Proud, proudcamden.com
Simon Jenkins refers to the "collapse" of the Scottish independence campaign (September 23). Perhaps Greg Norman at the 1996 Masters or Devon Loch at the 1956 Grand National deserve that language: not the 2014 independence campaign with 45 per cent of the vote on a triumphant 85 per cent turnout. After a day of mourning, the notion of true democracy in Scotland will not go away.

Air strikes won't defeat jihadists
Recent statements by David Cameron seem to point towards imminent UK involvement in air strikes against Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
Islamic State is not a small terror cell: the CIA estimates up to 31,500 active soldiers, while many more support the group but do not fight. To undermine IS's power, it is imperative to address the enabling environment: corrupt regimes actively supported by the West as we pursue a "sell them arms, buy their oil, topple regimes that can't bribed" policy. The result, unsurprisingly, is oppressed masses who, with some justification, blame regional leaders and Western governments for their plight.
The media-savvy militants have portrayed air strikes by the US and Arab regimes as further proof of Western mendacity and evidence that IS is a target precisely because it is a threat to western influence in the region. History shows that airstrikes are just a military tactic, not a political solution. In 1998 the US launched strikes against Iraq, Sudan and Afghanistan that did little to sap the power of the groups targeted; in fact they appear to have emboldened al Qaeda. Without a plan that by definition requires Western states to change their behaviour, air strikes may ameliorate the symptoms, but they will not cure the disease.

Give us the data on cycle highway
Andrew Gilligan misses the point about the east-west cycle superhighway. Of course the City of London is in favour in principle. Our concerns are all about the detail. We still do not have the TfL data that was promised at the beginning of the consultation — and without it we simply cannot make a full assessment. Yes, there have been numerous meetings where questions were raised. Unfortunately we don't yet have detailed answers.
Mark Boleat, City of London Corporation
Campaigners said segregation was the answer for Cycle Superhighway 2 in 2010, when TfL chose to consult and ignore them. Why should we wait two more winters before implementation? How many more people will be hospitalised or die in the meantime, and when will the equally bad CS7 and CS8 get their promised upgrades?

Run-Away Drive
Driving down that same old road
Wishing I can take another turn
Don't want to U-turn, never going back into town
The dirt roads were too much to breathe in
The city crowded blocks, noisy and polluted
Is there a boulevard I can learn to love?
One I don't have to cross every day and hate it?
A boulevard I can let the winds fingers brush my hair?
Cruising in a smooth pavement, isn't what we want?
No more stress, no more frustration, no more screams
Traveling all night long, have the lights shine down on me
The highway lights are strobes, but only on the run-aways
Hoping we aren't found, we'll be long gone
Accelerating, I realize why I did what I'm doing
Most people would agree
You run because you want to see if anyone cares enough to find you

To get started, you'll need a broadband Internet connection, an 802.11b/g home network and a camera kit bundled with the necessary hardware and software. Setup is a snap: Plug the camera in, install the software and configure the Internet connection settings.
Camera setups can be wired or wireless, but wireless cameras offer more flexibility because the camera is not tethered to your computer.
Once installed, the cameras are designated by their own Internet protocol or IP address. This is a number that identifies the camera on the Internet. As long as you know the password you assigned to the camera, you can type this number into a Web browser to see what it sees.
Some cameras connect directly to a VCR and others record to your computer's hard drive. An hour of video will require about 250 megabytes of hard drive storage.
You can also get cameras that send alerts when motion is detected or still shots at specific intervals. These are both handy features that offer you greater peace of mind. Likewise, the ability to pan the camera remotely is helpful.
If you use a Web camera that has a built-in microphone, you can capture audio in addition to video and use the camera as an intercom.
Motorola's Home Monitoring and Control System (www.motorola.com/homemonitoring) is pricey but offers a multitude of features and comes with a wireless base that connects to your computer. You can purchase sensors that monitor doors, windows and the temperature for about $40 each. This is great if you're leaving home for an extended period. The system can also send text alerts to your e-mail or cell phone.
The Motorola system sells for about $300 for the first camera, including the wireless base, and each additional camera is about $120. A monthly $19.95 subscription is required to view the camera's images over the Web.
Other systems, like the Linksys WVC54G Wireless-G Internet Video Camera (www.linksys.com), allow you to simply type the camera's IP address into your Web browser at no charge to see what the camera sees. The Linksys camera, which contains its own Web server, so it can connect directly to a network without being attached directly to a PC, will e-mail video clips when motion is detected. Included software allows you to record audio and video to your hard drive. The camera sells for about $190.
D-Link's Securicam Network DCS-5300G Internet Security Camera (www.dlink.com) is more than double the price of the Linksys at $440 per camera. But it offers a better-quality image, allows you to pan and tilt the camera and captures audio and connects to a VCR for recording. Better still, it does not require a subscription.
If you use a Mac, Axis' (www.axis.com) 205 Network Camera is a good choice that offers similar surveillance features to the Windows products. It's about $190 per camera and does not carry a monthly subscription fee.
As an alternative, you could use a standard webcam with a built-in microphone for surveillance. Most have a resolution of 640x480 pixels. Avoid webcams with face-tracking features if you're only using it for security as these features will merely add to the price.
If the webcam does not include the monitoring software, it's available online. Active WebCam (www.pysoft.com), CamUniversal (www.crazypixels.com) and Webcam Watchdog (www.webcamsoft.com) are three such Windows programs that sell for under $50. SecuritySpy (www.securityspy.com; $50) works on a Mac.

Elimental Reign
four children, life, the story, the eliments Reign again
The boy was walking along in the mall. He looks normal, but with him looks are deceiving, he is five foot and four inches, blond hair with a blue streak in it. Wearing the typical uniform of a teenager.
He was browsing in the shops, but kept looking up at the roof, waiting, but not for something he wanted. The roof shattered, he sighed, this was going to be a long day. Why is it always me, he thought, why can't someone else be monster bait. The top part of the walls caved in and a shadow appeared in the sky.
When the rubble hit the ground the crowd were quiet, a boy had been berried, but in the dust and gloom they saw two shaped, the same one as in the sky, and another. With a thunk the one from the sky flew backwards across the room, only stopping when it hit the wall. It was a gargoyle. Just it was moving. And had a sword.
Then the boy walked out the smoke, he too was different, his hair was now a light blue and he had a sword, or to be exact he had six, four were jut part of him, the other two he weld. And now, like the gargoyle he had wings. The wings of a fallen angel. He also had a trench coat. It was payback time.
