And I've finally come back into this fandom bearing something that'll be more than a one-shot and actually will have a developing plot! (If I can execute it correctly...)
First and foremost, this is an AU. Alternate Universe. Keep a general idea of the characters in your head, but I'm definitely taking some freedom to change things. Loki, for instance, does not have a child form in this story. He's still the Trickster God of Norse Mythology, but a little less mellowed than his anime/manga counterpart. Likewise, once Heimdall appears, he'll be Kakusei, as well. And as for Mayura, I'm giving her a little more...spark and bite to her personality.
Basically, I'm taking the freedom to make some characters a little OOC from their anime/manga parts, to fit my new little enviornment for them. I do hope that won't end up bothering anyone. But if you have any problems with the character interpretations, feel free to tell me so.
As for where this takes place... Well, most of it will be on aboard pirate ships on the open waters (oceans and such). The setting, however, is a small village on a tiny island far south from the coast of Japan. I'm not certain of the time period, but it's most definitely not modern, by any means.
This will contain eventual LokixMayura, of course. Other couplings are yet undecided at this point.
Summary: (AU) Daidouji Mayura had a knack for getting into trouble. But the day she dared to sneak onboard a pirate ship, she unknowningly immersed herself into a war that crossed worlds. ...And right into the chaotic path of one mischevious Captain.
Disclaimer: I do not own the characters from Matantei Loki Ragnarok. They belong to Sakura Kinoshita. They will merely be borrowed by my muse and twisted into my story and plot for my own devious pleasure.
Fire of the Seven Seas : Chapter One - Be Careful What You Wish For
One slender hand dipped into the coarse sea of sand, lifting a handful of the grains from below and letting them slide between the thin fingers and dribble back down to their original resting place.
With a dismal sigh that mirrored boredom at its worst, the female figure leaned back on her hands, staring out into the endless waters of the ocean that lay before her.
'What is out there, anyway? Beyond this village, beyond this Island... What's waiting?'
A strong breeze drifted by and she threw her head back, long locks of pink hair becoming airborne and flowing out behind her on the passing winds.
She closed her crimson-colored eyes, a small smile curling the ends of her lips.
"Read me another one, Mama! Please!"
A chuckle.
"You really like the pirate stories, don't you, Mayura?"
A frantic nod, bright eyes wide.
"I want to know more!"
"Why are you so interested in these stories, little one? Don't you think the pirates are bad people?"
"They can't all be big nasty men who smell bad and do bad things!"
"What makes you think so?"
"I just know! And I'll prove it, too! I'll join a pirate crew and we'll go in search of adventure! Face danger! Find treasure! And...And..."
"And what, sweetie?"
"...Find a cure for Mama's illness, too."
A pat on the head.
"Mama looks forward to it, Mayura."
Eyes reopened, the bright oranges, reds, and golds of the sunset visible only through a blur. She hastily lifted her right hand to wipe the wetness from her eyes.
It had been thirteen long years since her mother had passed away.
She tenderly placed a hand upon the book lying dormant at her side, stroking the leather-bound and weathered cover.
Thirteen years and she was still just a dreamer.
She'd let her mother down. And herself.
Certainly though, her father would be more than delighted if she gave up all those notions of going abroad over the open seas. Afterall, he wanted her to settle down here.
And even went as far as to arrange her marriage to the Kakinouchi's oldest son, Kotarou.
Her calm features twisted into a scowl of displeasure at the thought, one hand smacking against the grainy ground and sending a thick burst of sand outward in fury.
There was no way she would ever agree to marry that arrogant playboy, whether he was well-off or not. And she had no intention of remaining bottled up on the island for the rest of her life, either.
A sigh escaped her lips as the anger resided, a mere simmer of resentment and irriation left in its wake.
She wasn't allowed to decide for herself. Being a woman was really depressing, sometimes.
And it wasn't as though she hadn't attempted to escape the little island before. Countless plans had been made, many actions been taken...
Daidouji Mayura was well-known among the villagers as the number one source of their problems.
She had an uncanny ability to find trouble around any and every corner.
Most of the fellow island inhabitants had gone so far as to ban their children from associating with her, in fear that they might contract the "adventure" disease, or take her pirate games and tales far too seriously.
But everyone agreed that would change now that she was to be wed. Mayura would be forced to throw away her bizzare and childish desires if her husband would not tolerate them. And it was quite clear that Kotarou did not approve of her behavior at all. Therefore she would be expected to refrain from her rebelious actions and become the obediant, normal housewife.
How boring.
Her father, though strict, did hold a certain small level of respect for her and her dreams. Perhaps it was only due to her mother's influence, but she was grateful nonetheless.
And now that would all change when she was passed on to her betrothed. She'd finally be forced to "grow up" and accept her place in life.
Mayura could almost hear the sound of the entire village's cheers ring within her head.
It was exactly what everyone wanted.
Everyone but her.
A large wave abruptly crashed onto shore, shattering her thoughts back into reality.
Picking the book up from her side, the young girl rose from the sands and nonchalantly brushed her dress off, pausing to cast a hopeful glance out to the glow of the dying sunset.
'Please don't let it end this way,' she wished silently, eyes shining with the last reflected light of the waters. 'Give me a fighting chance for my dreams.'
She stood her ground for a moment, as if waiting for some kind of silent answer to come, but not even a light brush of wind would offer its reply.
Releasing a final and thoroughly hopeless sigh, she turned around and started back for the village.
"And just where have you been?"
A middle-aged man blocked the doorway, arms crossed, and looking highly agitated.
Mayura managed a nervous laugh. "Out on the beach, Papa. I didn't do anything dangerous this time, I swear."
He eyed her silently for a moment before pressing on. "You can't keep disappearing like that, Mayura. I've told you a hundred times, already!"
"I just wanted to be alone for awhile."
"I told you we were having special visitors over today," he continued, eyes narrowing. "They were most unhappy to hear that you were conveniently missing again."
"Are they gone already?" she asked, unable to keep a tiny hint of hopefulness from creeping into her tone.
One of the raven-haired man's feet stomped heavily upon the ground as his anger broke the surface. "Mayura, you can't keep running away from these confrontations and meetings if this marriage is going to work!"
She jumped slightly at his outburst, clutching the book to her chest. "I-I know, Papa."
"Then stop these foolish actions!" he demanded, throwing his arms up into the air. Regaining his composure, he sighed and stepped aside to let her through doorway. "Now hurry and get inside. The Kakinouchis are waiting."
Mayura took a step back, her dreaded fear realized. "I just remembered that I left one of my books back on the beach!" she announced suddenly. "Silly me! I'd better go and retrieve it before it gets dark. You go ahead and tell them I'll be along in a few minutes."
The father quickly gripped his daughter's arm before she could make her intended escape. "I don't think so, Mayura. You've made them wait plenty long enough."
He proceeded to drag his reluctant offspring inside and all the way to room where the Kakinouchis were patiently waiting her arrival.
Three blonde heads looked up when the girl was ushered into the room.
"Pardon her lateness," Daidouji Misao coughed, instructing his daughter to sit down with a gesture of his hand. "Mayura was doing an...errand."
She paused mid-kneel. "But I was-"
Misao cut her off with a solid glare, silencing any further speech. Mayura obliged, hastily lowering herself the rest of the way and folding her hands over the book in her lap.
She wanted to be honest with her objection of this arrangement. Maybe then they might drop the marriage proposal if they didn't like her behavior.
Her father was going to ruin her plan!
"Judging by the looks of that beat up old book, I'd bet she was out uselessly swinging a wooden sword around on the beach and shouting inchoherent manly obscenities."
Mayura looked up in surprise, her own crimson gaze meeting the laughing luster of amber.
Kotarou. She should have known.
As if in challenge, she glared back at his smirking face, somehow provoking his grin to widen in the process.
"Ah, well, that is one of the books she was given by her late mother!" Misao interjected quickly. "Sentimental value, you know."
Mrs. Kakinouchi nodded in understanding, giving Mayura a sympathetic smile. The teenage girl returned it, though only half-heartedly.
The elder blonde man cleared his throat, pulling the attention to him. "Now, about the engagement," he started, light brown eyes shifting back and forth between the father and daughter before him. "The villagers seem quite anxious that we proceed with the marriage immediately. Do you have any objections to this?"
Mayura made a definite move to object, physically and verbally, but was rendered silent as her father leaned over and clamped a hand over her mouth.
"Mayura has been really excited," he lied swiftly, muffled noises coming from underneath his hand. "Just can't keep her mouth shut about it! The sooner, the better!"
Mrs. Kakinouchi raised an eyebrow at the display and her husband gave a hearty laugh. "Good, good! I'll give them an affirmative for tomorrow's ceremony, then." He rose from his seat, offering a hand to help his wife to her feet.
Mayura struggled more violently against her father's grasp, finally managing to pull his stubborn hand off of her face. "Wait!" she burst out, just as the family had prepared to leave. "Don't Kotarou-kun and I get any say in this?"
"Mayura! You're not to speak until spoken to!" Misao hissed.
Kotarou held a hand up. "Doesn't matter to me," he declared simply.
The pink-haired teen visibly bristled. "Of course it doesn't, Kotarou-kun," she spoke, voice laced with venom. "Afterall, you have a half dozen other village girls waiting for you at any time, right?"
Twin expressions of shock appeared on Mr. and Mrs. Kakinouchi's faces as Misao's mouth dropped open in stunned disbelief.
The rich young man's surprised visage quickly twisted to an icy glower. "Hopefully you'll learn some manners before tomorrow, Daidouji."
She didn't back down from his cold gaze. 'And you know every word of it is true.'
Turning away, Kotarou ushered his speechless parents out of the vicinity, leaving Mayura and her father behind.
Once they were safely out of earshot, the teen girl whirled to face her irate father and braced herself for a lecture that was sure to last the better half of the night.
Sleep was refusing to come.
Not that she had expected to get any rest, really.
Tomorrow. She was getting married tomorrow.
And to none other than Mr. Egotistical "I'll-Have-More-Affairs-Than-You-Have-Fingers" Kakinouchi Kotarou.
It was like something out of one of her worst nightmares!
The villagers couldn't really have disliked her that much, could they...?
A sudden image of a dozen sopping wet children and the furious gazes of their parents appeared in her mind, provoking a small bubble of guilt to rise like bile in her throat.
Okay, so maybe she had done a few things that would be considered out of line, hazardous, problematic, and on the verge of insane at times... but at least no one was ever seriously hurt!
'Well, there was that time that one came close to...'
Mayura sat up from her prone position, shaking her head from side to side. Who was she kidding?
The whole village practically hated her. And they plenty of reason to.
If she could just find a way off of the island, both parties would be satisfied. She'd be free to explore her dreams and they'd have her out of their hair once and for all.
Fat chance that was going to happen. Especially within the space of less than twenty-four hours.
A walk would probably do her good right about now. A bit of fresh air to clear her head and movement to keep her occupied.
It did sound undeniably pleasant.
Slipping out of bed, she quietly approached her single window, staring out into the night.
After a quick glance about the premises to ensure her safe getaway, she climbed out of the window and jumped the short distance to the ground below.
She'd done this dozens of times, for various reasons. And miraculously, even through her clumsiest of exits, had yet to be caught.
Smiling to herself, Mayura took off barefoot, nightdress flailing behind her, and headed toward the beach.
She already felt just slightly better, being out in the middle of the night. A small, but welcome freedom that inexplicably cheered her up, even with the doom cloud that hung over the inevitable upcoming event.
Just a scarce ten feet from the sandy shore ahead, Mayura stopped dead in her tracks, mouth falling open in complete and utter awe.
'It has to be a hallucination of some sort,' she assured herself, rapidly blinking her eyes. 'I've been reading those books too much. It's really going to my head.'
However, no matter how many times she adjusted her eyes and pinched her cheeks, the impossible vision remained.
She's seen very few boats, aside from the fishing boats in the village. And she wasn't even sure she could call what stood tall and grandly before her, simply a boat.
By now, she had abandoned trying to wake herself from the dream. It was real.
A real pirate ship.
It was huge, though that word somehow seemed inadequate even for the size, constructed of wood, adorned with gigantic mahagony masts rising into the night sky, and banners of red sails billowing in the evening breeze...
Majestic. Strong. Beautiful.
Almost something right out of the pictures in her pirate novels.
Mayura's heart skipped a beat and then started pumping almost five times faster.
She slowly and carefully stepped closer to the magnificent ship, unable to take her stunned orbs away from it as she felt herself drawing even nearer to the gently floating structure.
"I'm sure it couldn't possibly be here," a strained whisper cut through the darkness.
The teen froze in midstep, her wide eyes wandering to the source of sound. But all she could see squinting through the darkness, were two very vague sillouhettes. Cautiously, she drew back a little farther from open view, straining her ears to catch more of the speech.
"There seems to be only one small village on this island," the same voice continued in hushed tones. "We'd be wasting our efforts."
"Regardless, we're running a little low on supplies," the second, slightly deeper voice finally rose from the black night. "Pick up whatever you can find and hurry back. You know what to do."
"Right away."
Before Mayura could register what had happened, both shadows vanished. She blinked in surprise, rubbing roughly at her eyes before looking at the vacated spot again.
Had she just imagined them?
The crimson orbs wandered back to the waiting ship.
Her father would be downright furious with her if he found out, but her curiosity was going to kill her if she didn't do something at a chance like this!
And a harmless look around the ship wouldn't hurt anything, right?
She promptly scurried across the sandy beach, the sound of her footfalls absorbing perfectly into the grainy ground as she fled across.
Once reaching the side of the giant wooden beast, she weighed her options.
There were two obvious entries: One being the main boarding area, the other, a more difficult squeeze through a nearby open circular window.
The more dangerous way was definitely the easy way, but the adverse route seemed near impossible from her standpoint.
She could either chance walking straight onto the ship, or make a jump for a hopeful grab on the open window sill.
Neither were very good odds.
Mayura decided to place her bets on the former option, and hope she could magically avoid running into any of the crew, if only by pure luck.
Two members were gone onto the island at least, right?
Just before she reached the entrance route, a third option appeared. On the far left side, a ladder hung down, connecting up to the side railing of the front deck. A little less conspicuous than the most forward approach, anyway.
Abandoning her earlier plan of entry, she made a dash for the waiting ladder and wasted no time in starting her ascent to the deck.
She felt fearless, somehow. This was the chance she'd been wishing for and she finally recieved it, even if just before her life was to take the most drastic turn of all.
'Mama is counting on me too,' she reminded herself. 'Now is not the time to be a chicken.'
Once she arrived at the head, Mayura swung her legs over the side of the metal railing and landed deftly onto the polished wood. After rising fully to her feet, she brushed a hand against her forehead, wiping away a thin film of perspiration.
First step accomplished.
And as if to taunt her bit of success, she heard footsteps suddenly approaching quickly from her left.
She had to hide, and fast!
Swiftly padding to the other side of the front deck, she started blindly down passage ahead, coming to an immediate halt at the first door to her left. Hesitating only a moment, she pulled the unusually heavy door open and stepped inside.
And just as the door closed shut, Mayura realized she'd made a bad spontaneous choice.
Not only was she completely squished and almost immobile between the door and the wall, she was also surrounded by mops, brooms, dirty rags, and buckets that didn't exactly smell like roses.
Seems she had taken sanctuary in a storage closet of some sort.
Holding her breath, she listened intently for any noise outside the room.
Breathing a quick sigh of relief, she lifted a hand to the door, searching for the handle.
But the wandering fingers found nothing to clasp.
Oh, no.
In a rush of panic, she laid both palms flat against the door and pushed against it with all her strength.
It didn't budge at all.
She was stuck; stranded on a pirate ship and locked in a closet.
This wasn't adventure. This stunk. Literally. Her eyes were beginning to water from the putrid smells of the used rags and dirty cleaning utensils. She needed to get out before she suffocated from the stench!
For a split second, Mayura almost considered screaming for help. Luckily, the urge didn't manifest before she buried it. That kind of desperation was saved until the very end.
'Don't give up yet!' she chided herself. 'There's got to be another way out of this.'
Just then, a definite jolt from beneath the boat forced her to the left, knocking a broom or mop handle to the opposite side with a dull clatter.
A knot tied painfully in her gut. The ship wasn't...moving, was it?
Another rumble erupted from beneath her feet, as if to give her the affirmative.
'Don't panic. Don't panic. Don't panic,' she repeated inwardly. 'Everything will be fine. Be calm. Don't panic!'
A third, much more violent tremor shook the ship, sending Mayura back to the right of the enclosure. But the lack of space within caused her feet to run into the path of the buckets on the floor, which clammered and smashed together with a resounding noise that made her ears ring.
A muffled voice.
She was as good as screwed now.
Closing her eyes and sucking in her breath, she waited, arms bent in place and palms still stuck to the door face, her heart pounding furiously against her ribcage.
The steps came to a lanquid stop just outside the door.
What would happen to her? Would the big burly men challenge her to a sword duel? Would the Captain of the ship make her walk the plank?
Seconds seemed like hours as they passed in the tensed silence.
Then, miraculously, the footfalls passed right by the door and faded completely.
Mayura immediately let out air she'd been desperately holding, relief flowing through every inch of her system.
Extremely close call.
Wrapped up in her unexpected alleviation of danger, she could only yelp in surprise when the door was suddenly wrenched open.
Without the door to support her body's weight any longer, she fell right out of the closet.
And right into a pair of strong masculine arms.
"Well now," there was a definite spark of amusement to the male's voice. "What do we have here?"
To be continued...?
I'm still a little nervous about this AU, to be truthful. But I am having a lot of fun with the idea. XD
Yes, there is definitely some OOC-ness. I don't care. I wanted to give Mayura a little more of a backbone. And I thought her fixation with pirates could replace her obsession with mysteries. Sorry to any Kotarou fans, as well. He seems like a little bit of a jerk, but he always did appear that way to me in both the anime and manga. Many other familiar characters will show up as it goes along.
Well, should you like the idea or abhor it, please drop me a review if you can spare the time. I'd appreciate it a ton. Especially due to my anxiousness over writing an MLR AU fic.
...And I only give you one guess as to who caught Mayura falling out of the closet. XD
Thanks for taking the time to read!

Motivated, Dependable Crew Available
I am looking to join a sailing crew for racing or just sailing on the Chesapeake or local Maryland rivers. I am athletic, but I have no formal sailing experience. I am very dependable and motivated to learn. I learn things very quickly and enjoy being part of a team. I have some informal knowledge of sailing, but I want to learn to sail as part of a crew.
Please let me know the best way to connect with people looking for crew in the Annapolis area.
Thank you.

5.0 stars 19 totalReview Francis Jones
Posted by Kenny
Walking into a courtroom can be very intimidating and you need the very best legal council available. Frank Jones is the best of the best, you can be confident walking into that courtroom that you have a someone on your side that has the tools and experience to provide you with the best outcome possible. Over the years Mr. Jones has represented my family and business with a positive outcome each time and I am thankful for everything he has done. I highly recommend Mr. Jones to family, friends and anyone else who is in need of a great attorney
Posted by Laura
Attorney Jones was an absolute pleasure as well is very professional to work with. I had a very complex situation and Mr. Jones throughout the entire process made me feel that he was indeed fighting for me and that he had also my best interest at heart. Today it's rare to find an attorney actually really cares about your benefit and well-being, I found that Mr. Jones had all of these qualities and I would highly recommend him to any of my friends or family who are in need of services. Mr. Jones and his staff spit adequate time researching and going over and reviewing my case..... I am sincerely grateful for Mr. Jones and his team and everything endured representing me.
Posted by Tylae
Frank is a highly personable lawyer with an incredibly logical out look on how to go about your case. Common sense can only take you so far and book smarts don't help much in a courtroom. This man fortunately has the best of both those world's. I have an enormous amount of respect for Mr Jones after his help in my legal obligations.
Posted by Dave
Mr. Jones is an extremely skilled litigator and professional trial lawyer. He represented me with an internal matter involving my employer and did an outstanding job looking out for my rights as an employee. He always answered my questions and every piece of advice he gave me was spot on correct. I would (and have) recommended him to many of my friends as a first choice when looking for an attorney for either civil and criminal matters. They don't get any better than Frank Jones.
Posted by Pam
After being involved in a motorcycle accident with multiple injuries and nowhere to turn I was referred to Frank for help.
His wife Mechelle met with me immediately as he was in court. I was treated with such kindness and professionalizm I new he would be able to help me. They completely took over my case and assured me not to worry. The sincere kindness has been overwhelming to me. All legal aspects of this case were handled immediatly and in less than 4 months my case has been settled.
Frank knows his business and will fight to the end for his clients. As I began to heal I realized I have gained a new friend and for that I am most thankful to Frank and his wife Mechelle who spent many many hours fighting to get me the help I needed.
Can not express my gratitude enough and highly recommend Frank as your attorney!!
Posted by alayna
he had excellent knowledge of what he was talking about the case he consulted you about any change in the case he let you know what was going on step by step he's the best lawyer that I know and I feel like he is the best lawyer in Charles County I would hire him again
Posted by anonymous
Was involved in an incident and was referred to Frank. He was quick to set an appointment and very attentive to what happened in my incident. Frank took the case and worked to get my case settled. Kept me informed every step of the way and extremely happy with the settlement. Would highly recommend to anyone who needs a good civil attorney.
Posted by Tanya
Mr. Jones handled two separate cases for me. During each case he was efficient and very professional. Mr. Jones always made sure that I understood each process step by step and provided me with excellent advice. He is an AWESOME attorney. I would have no hesitation recommending him to family and friends in the future.
Posted by anonymous
Mr. Jones kept me informed throughout my ordeal. His professionalism is above and beyond. I felt as though I truly mattered to him.
Posted by anonymous
I was referred to Frank after a serious accident and could not have been more impressed with the level of compassion and professionalism from him and his staff. In an accident where you're dealing with serious medical issues, the last thing you want to think or worry about is what your attorney is up to or where your case is at, and with Frank, you don't have to. He and his staff make everything as easy as possible while still keeping you in the loop. Frank is also extremely personable and approachable. I 100% recommend Frank and his practice.

Is Apple A Long Term Threat To Pandora?
- Pandora recently announced its Q3 2014 results, beating analyst consensus estimates on both topline and bottomline.
- Other user metrics and operating metrics came in-line or ahead of expectations.
- While competition from can pose a serious threat, Pandora's focus on the automobile sector could lead to growth in revenue and earnings.
The year 2014 has not been a good one for investors who bought shares of Pandora Media (NYSE:P) in March and still own them as the calendar year comes to an end. On March 5, 2014, the streaming music service was flying high with a share price of $39.43. Eight-months later, on November 5, 2014, the stock was trading at less than half that price, or $18.37 per share. What happened? Has the bright sparkle of the once dominant online streaming music service faded forever? Is it possible that management can refocus and restore the shine?
Pandora Earnings
Pandora earnings and other financial results for Q3 2014 (period ending September 30) were not too bad. As the declining price trend accelerated after Pandora earnings were reported, analysts continued to remain mostly positive on the future prospects for the streaming music company. For the most part, they met, or did somewhat better than, analyst expectations.
- After third-quarter results came out, RBC Capital maintained its "outperform" rating and kept its price target for Pandora Media at $35.00
- Sun Trust reaffirmed its "buy" rating, but lowered its target price from $34.00 to $30.00 per share.
- A summary of the opinions of 32 analysts who follow Pandora Media (after earnings were reported) showed that 24, or 75 percent of the analysts had either a "strong buy" or "buy" recommendation and that only one analyst had a "sell" recommendation.
Pandora Revenue
Total revenue in Q3 2014 was $239.6 million which represented year-over-year non-GAAP growth of 40 percent. The company beat consensus analyst estimate of $236 million in revenue. Non-GAAP earnings per share came in at a penny above analyst estimates at $0.09 and Pandora also enjoyed y-o-y growth of 50 percent in mobile revenue. The share of total radio listeners who listened to Pandora in 2014 grew to 9.06%, up from the 7.77% in the corresponding period of 2013.
Source: Pandora revenue data by Amigobulls
Outlook for Pandora
Pandora was created back in 2000 but has only been listed on the NYSE since June of 2011. Pandora quickly grew to become the dominant online music streaming service provider. Today there are some 76.5 million active users, more than 250 million registered users, and Pandora has a 70 percent market share of the digital music streaming market. The stock fell after earnings were announced because investors are worried about Pandora's ability to attract new users. Competition in the streaming music and radio space is fierce with players like Spotify which is set to IPO next year, iHeart, and Soundcloud all competing for market share. Even Google with its Songza acquisition has entered streaming music. However its Apple, with its recent acquisition of Beats, along with iTunes, which may present the biggest threat to Pandora's future.
Competition from Apple
Apple is one of the largest corporations on the globe and whenever it makes a move it sends ripples throughout the entire world. Apple has a huge amount of cash that it can deploy to rapidly acquire new listeners and they could conceivably purchase competitors, including Pandora. Threat from Apple's iTunes could become a big problem for Pandora. The management at Pandora needs to execute its plans and remain focused on its mission to provide music people love to listen to at a price they can afford to pay.
Pandora is not sitting idle while the competition intensifies. While they are still doing what they can to improve the number of listeners on mobile phones and other electronic devices, Pandora's focus on automobile industry may turn out to be lucrative. According to some analysts, having a strong presence in automobiles can enhance annual Pandora revenue by more than $1 billion.
Maintaining relevance in the technology space is crucial for long-term success. For many years, Microsoft's stock price remained flat as investors saw more exciting opportunities in companies like Google and Amazon. Just ask the CEOs of IBM and Blackberry about the importance of being on the leading edge of technology. Most analysts believe that management at Pandora Media has what it takes to get the company back on course for future growth and prosperity. With a price now near the IPO price, this once high-flying stock is now on sale. If you believe that the future of music is in streaming radio, you should buy Pandora Media. However, given the huge valuations and unproven ability to generate profits, the risks of investing are high too. Our Pandora stock analysis highlights the risks of owning Pandora stock.

Off course, traveling across the world and finding the right place to stay can be a big ordeal. My great friend somehow found this location and it was simple amazing. The apartment had a very art deco feel and was very clean and safe. I stayed in a one bedroom and my friends stayed in a two bedroom. The location was central to everything; a short cab ride took you to Aquarium, Mall, and Robin Island. I would highly recommend this location if you plan to travel to Cape Town, South Africa I would highly recommend these apartments.

Spieth and Reed share U.S. Open spotlight with Day
By Steve Keating
UNIVERSITY PLACE, Washington (Reuters) - Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed were preparing for the U.S. Open spotlight on Saturday while Jason Day was back at Chambers Bay, tackling the links-style layout a day after collapsing on his final hole.
Spieth and Reed, two of golf's most exciting young talents carried a one-shot lead over Dustin Johnson and Branden Grace into the third round as they set the stage for an enthralling duel between the Ryder Cup team mates on a brilliant sunny day in the Pacific Northwest.
While Masters champion Spieth and Reed were getting set to play, talk around Chambers Bay was still about the fright Day had sent through the galleries on Friday when the Australian suddenly collapsed on his final hole, suffering from vertigo.
After receiving medical attention Day was able to complete his round before dropping to knees again and being helped off the course and taken away for more treatment.
Sitting just three shots off the lead and in contention for a first major, the world number 10 displayed his grit on Saturday, stepping up and hammering a magnificent drive off the first tee to set up a solid par.
Despite ideal conditions none of the early starters were able to make a big move on a challenging layout that has come under increasing criticism.
World number one Rory McIlroy, the 2011 U.S. Open winner, began the morning nine back of the leaders and was quickly on the charge, dropping a 25-foot birdie putt at the second.
The Northern Irishman picked up another shot at the seventh but watched his rally run out of steam on the back nine with bogeys at 11 and 15 for an even par 70 to finish the day where he started at four-over. Continued...

Broccoli Salad by the Casserole Queens
Recipe by the Casserole Queens
Serves 8
6 cups fresh broccoli florets, chopped
8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
3 green onions, green parts only, chopped
½ cup dried cranberries or raisins
½ cup chopped pecans
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
½ cup sugar
1) In a large bowl, combine the broccoli, bacon, green onions, cranberries, and pecans.
2) In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise, vinegar, and sugar to make a dressing. Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture and toss well. Serve room temperature or cold.
*This dish can be made diabetic-friendly by substituting a sugar substitute like stevia for the sugar. Take a look at the guidelines on the sweetener package to know how much to put in the salad, since something like Splenda is much sweeter than sugar.

I'll tell you when I want to
I smiled, knowing I'd confused everyone, even my siblings. I didn't speak for a while after that, which frustrated them greatly. They were waiting for me to elaborate on what I'd revealed but I couldn't really be bothered to tell them. They could wait.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw something in the forest. I turned to look. It was Michael stood just behind the cover of the trees. I was vaguely aware of Blaine talking to me, but it sounded so distant. I hadn't realised I'd stopped. The others were looking at me strangely, asking if I was okay.
I ignored them and walked across the road to the other side. Michael's blond hair gleamed dully in the shade, as did his pale yellow eyes. I walked up to him.
"Hi," I said.
"Hey," he said.
"What are you doing here?"
"I wanted to see you."
I sighed. "Michael, we can't anymore. We shouldn't have in the first place."
"Just because I'm an angel, doesn't mean we can't be friends," he whispered.
"We both know we were never just friends."
"The war's over now though. I know you're engaged but I really do love you. It goes against everything I've ever been taught but I love you, whether you're going to be married or not."
"Michael..." I couldn't think of anything to say.
I wanted to tell him the truth; that I loved him too, that I always had, but I couldn't. I just couldn't force my lips to move. Instead, I sighed. I looked over my shoulder at the group I'd temporarily abandoned. They were still waiting for me, though they were talking among themselves. Nastasia was scowling again.
I wanted Michael to hold me like he used to, when we were younger and we didn't need to worry as much. I looked up at him and sighed again. I turned around and started to walk back. Michael held my wrist gently.
"Ravyn, don't go," he whispered.
"Come with me," I said quietly.
"Really?" he asked.
"Yeah, come on."
"Nas won't be very happy."
"Nas is never very happy," I smiled.
I pulled my wrist away and took his hand. I led him back to the others and couldn't help smiling at Nastasia's expression. She was livid.
"This is Michael," I said, more to Aidan and Meggie than my siblings.
"Hi Michael," said Meggie enthusiastically.
Then I wondered if she thought he was my fiancé. If she did, she couldn't have been more wrong.
"You're an angel," Aidan commented.
"I am," Michael replied.
"Oh, this is Aidan and Meggie," I said.
"Hello," said Michael.
Then no one could think of anything to say.
"Well, this is awkward," said Blaine bluntly.
Of course, that just made itmoreawkward.
"Ravyn, when are you planning to tell us how you know Mai?" asked Aidan.
"When I feel like it," was all I said before wandering off with Michael.

ATLANTIC CITY - Holy Spirit High School seniors James Muller, Andrew Remy and several teammates put the Spartans' boys swimming team in the driver's seat for the Cape-Atlantic League National Conference title on Thursday.
Muller won the sprints and Remy took the distance races as Holy Spirit topped defending champion Cape May Tech 97-73 at the Dr. Martin Luther King Westside Complex pool. Spirit took the lead in the conference race.
Holy Spirit improved to 5-2 overall and 5-0 National. Cape May Tech is also 5-2, with a conference mark of 5-1.
"Everyone rose to the occasion," said Holy Spirit coach Nick Steffanci. "Most of the guys are first or second-year swimmers. Most are rowers who swim in the offseason, and they have a great work ethic."
The Spartans slowly built a 10-point lead after six races. They began to pull away in the 500 freestyle, which Remy won in 5 minutes, 54.25 seconds.
The Holy Spirit 200 freestyle relay team of Matt Stewart, Chase Malia, Eric Feuerstein and Muller followed with with a two-length win.
The Spartans took a commanding 85-55 lead as Stewart edged teammate Jack Borrone by 0.20 seconds in the 100 backstroke.
Last season, Cape May Tech beat Holy Spirit 107-63 on Dec. 9, 2011 and went on to win conference title.
"Last year I was a new coach and we weren't prepared for that meet so early in the season," Steffanci said. "I didn't even know about the guys on my own team, much less Cape May Tech. Other than losing a few swimmers to graduation, pretty much everyone this year is back. Having a month to prepare really helped."
Remy swam a personal best time of 2:06.59 in winning the 200 freestyle by two lengths. The 17-year-old Egg Harbor Township resident plans to join the Navy and become a rescue swimmer.
"This is huge, a big milestone for the team," Remy said. "That'll amp us up for the next couple meets. I had to break a barrier to get a personal best. It feels a lot better and it's really motivating.
"Now we have to keep swimming and execute (to win the conference)."
Holy Spirit's remaining conference meets are with Middle Township (away on Monday), Buena Regional (at home on Jan. 9), Cedar Creek (away on Jan. 15) and Pleasantville (away on Jan. 18).
Muller won the 50 freestyle by a half-length in 23.41 and took the 100 freestyle by two lengths in a personal-best 52.30.
"Everyone worked hard toward this and we were well prepared," said Muller, 17, of Absecon. "Everyone who needed to step up, did. We knew how much was riding on the meet."
Holy Spirit junior Harrison Gargel, a second-year swimmer, won the 200 individual medley in 2:22.81, his personal best by 10 seconds. Gargel was also second to Tech's Trevor Gehring in the 100 breaststroke in his best time by four seconds.
Gehring also won the 100 butterfly. The Hawks' other win was by Chase Bader, Mitch Ianeillo, Sean Gerber and Gehring in the 400 freestyle relay.
"We had about 20 personal bests, and this was our fastest meet of the year," Cape May Tech coach Matt McElroy said. "We ran into a really good team with a great coach. I talked to Nick, and he said his guys swam very well. When our guys see their times posted they'll feel better."

Dive into the best scuba diving articles in scubacrowd's blog
by Scubacrowd - 05/07/2013
Jason deCaires Taylor, an English contemporary sculptor, does not pick any place for his enormous sculptures, but installs them underwater to create artificial reefs for an abundance of marine life. His work "Vicissitudes" in Grenada and his latest sculpture "The Silent Evolution" in Mexico are probably some of the most impressing Eco art pieces.
During the 1970s, as demands for environmental protection grew louder, an art movement, urging to raise awareness for environmental challenges was born. In the 21st century this eco art movement did not fail to affect the ocean. Jason deCaires Taylor, a talented English sculptor, decided to make a statement, creating artificial reefs by installing sculptures at the bottom of the ocean.
Taylor's art can be understood in two different ways. On the one hand, as eco art pieces, his sculptures are raising awareness of environmental issues, by promoting and underlining the need of protecting our eco system. His sculptures, once set into the water, transform into amazing artificial reefs, enhanced by the growth of marine life on their surfaces. On the other hand, Taylor's sculptures are constantly evolving and growing, as their natural environment is continuously changing. Most of his work includes sculptures of persons. By using human sculptures, which are transformed into marine life habitats, Taylor tries to create a representation of how humans are constantly changing in unity with the eco system.
Over more, Taylor's intention is to create tourist magnets, made to relocate scuba divers. The reefs where he puts his statues have been destroyed by hurricanes or other environmental hazards. By creating new artificial dive sites, he gives time to natural reefs for recovery.
Even though, "The silent evolution" being his biggest project so far, Taylor produced already several equally interesting sculptures. "Vicissitudes" is a ring of 26 live-size children sculptures facing into the current. The children are sitting on a cement base, also constructed to encourage coral growth. With the coral growth, the children will also grow in height, just as real children do.
Another interesting piece of his art is "The Gardener of Hope". This is a sculpture of a little girl, lying in the middle of a coral garden, nurturing the corals surrounding her. "The man on fire" instead, is a sculpture of a live-size man. The sculpture has little holes carved in the upper body part, where yellow fire corals were implanted. The corals, which were used for those two sculptures were rescued from damaged reefs and implanted in the sculptures, giving them space to grow.
In Granada and Mexico, where great parts of natural reefs were destroyed, Jason deCaires Taylor even constructed whole Eco art underwater museums. The Cancun Natural Marine Park and the Molière Bay Underwater Museum have become popular tourist sites.
The Cancun Underwater Museum is located off the coast of the Isla de las Mujeres, near Cancun. The project started in 2009, with the goal of building an artificial reef to draw away tourists from the reefs around the area. The Cancun Natural Marine Park had been damaged by a hurricane earlier in the year of 2009, leaving most of the natural reefs in a spoiled condition. The main attraction of the park are the 403 sculptures of "The silent evolution", all built up after the example of real people living in the area around the National Park.
Another National Park with underwater sculptures is the Molière Bay Underwater Museum. It is located in the National Marine Park, near Granada in the West Indies. It is home to sixty-five sculptures, which are serving as well as artificial reefs. Just as Cancun, the area has been destroyed by several storms. The sculptures now offer new habitats to an abundance of juvenile fish, colorful corals and other marine life.

Wiel Arets Architects designed the H House for a couple: one is a dancer, the other an actor, but both are landscape architects – so it is rather fitting that the interior design of this magnificent glass house exists in such an intimate partnership with the outdoors.
You will find very few walls in the H House – light, ethereal curtains act as room dividers and create a soft, relaxing atmosphere for the busy residents. Vitra Panton chairs (surrounding the sleek cantilevered dining table) were the perfect choice to create a touch of organic contrast to balance out the sharply eye-catching staircase.
Upstairs is just as open, but much more cozy. Creams, whites, and leather dominate the modern design landscape. Furnishings are stripped to pure function, with simplicity and modesty setting the tone.
We only see one downside – where would you hang the art?! Then again, with such massive windows and a view like that, who needs it?
