It's TEACHIN' TIME!
I don't think I can properly convey my excitement over being able to teach statistics again. I mean, I guess I've been running labs for the past two years, but it's just not the same, you know? I really feel like teaching statistics—especially intro statistics—is what I'm meant to do with my life.
And I know this position is only temporary (I'm technically only hired through December 31st of this year), but I'm going to do whatever I can to see if I can keep it going longer. Surely some of the higher up professors who teach 213/217 would want an opportunity to focus more on their research or on the upper-division courses they're teaching, right?
Either way, I am eternally grateful to Scott for really pushing those in charge to hire me. I'm pretty sure I would have never gotten this opportunity without his influence. Now I just have to prove that I know what I'm doing and hope that they need somebody for next semester.
New office
I moved offices today! I got "promoted" to the fifth floor where all the professors/post docs are. I met the lady who will be taking over my desk in my old office (she's from Russia and is in the theoretical math area) while I was cleaning out all my crap. She's super nice and said she wants to come to my lectures so she can refresh her stats, haha.
Here's a pic of my new office:
I'm sharing it with two post-docs, but one of them isn't teaching this semester and spends most of his time at Foothills, so he probably won't be around. The other teaches a math class. Calculus, maybe? I can't remember.
Anyway, the windows are west-facing, so we'll get the hot afternoon sun, but there's no way this office can be hotter than my previous one. That thing was a furnace.
Who's teaching STAT 213 next semester?
This afternoon, in the span of about an hour, I went from hoping to eventually get a teaching job somewhere to hearing that I get to teach a section of STAT 213 in the fall. It's currently just for that semester, meaning there's no guarantee that I'll be hired for any subsequent semesters, but that's what they said at UI and I worked for two years (plus summers) as a lecturer there before heading to the frigid north.
I am super, super excited, yo.
I got another TA award! Yay! I got one for fall 2014; this one is for fall 2015 (they just announced it, though, haha).
I think the reason I didn't get one in Winter 2015 was because I had only like 8 people in my lab the day I ended up handing out the little review forms, and I don't think it was a big enough sample for them to even count it (their reasoning is that if there are too few people filling it out, those people can be more easily identified, and the survey is supposed to be anonymous).
Anyway. Woo!
I'm a-feared
UGH THE TEST IS OVER. Thank god.
It wasn't awful, but I know I made at least one—maybe two—stupid little mistakes. I'm hoping Dr. Lu will be merciful and see that I do understand what I'm doing, I just made dumb math errors.
'Cause that's what I do.
Now it's time to do nothing school-related for the rest of the day.
Sorry I keep posting about school. (I'm not sorry at all.)
This video accurately depicts the change in my attitude and approach to grad school, pre- and post-February 2nd.
The day you identify with a HowToBasic video is the day you know that things have gone horribly wrong.
I am DONE with the first draft of my thesis introduction. Last time I did this, I thought the introduction was the hardest/most work-intensive part of the whole thing to write. So considering I've got all my simulations done and just need to write up the results, I'm guessing it's the same sort of thing this time around.
So it's nice to have that first rough draft done, even though it is just a rough draft.
Plus, I don't think I'd made this much progress until April or so last time.
It Begins!
Okay, so unlike Thesis: Round I in 2011, I've actually started my thesis writing now—in January—versus in March. Which is probably a good thing. I also feel like I understand what I'm actually doing WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better than I did back then.
I also care a lot more.
So yeah. Hopefully things will go a lot smoother than they did last time, but I guess we'll see.
Winter Semester 2016: COMMENCE!
It's time for the final semester of the Masters program! I'm excited. Well, excited for it to be over. Excited to (hopefully) get this degree. I'm hoping to be done with the thesis stuff by May so that I can defend then and just not worry about anything over the summer. That would be SO NICE and SUCH A GREAT CONTRAST to last time in 2011.
I just want to teach, man. That's the end goal of all of this.
I just. Want. To. Teach.
Had the final for Dr. Chen's class this morning, which means I'M FREE OF THIS SEMESTER!
(Except not really. I have to invigilate a test on Monday at freaking 7 PM.)
Now it's thesis time for real. My goal is to get it done by May at the latest, but we'll see.
I'm already ridiculously nervous.
Hooray, a 33/30 on that test!
That makes me super happy. Not as happy as A's on BOTH of those freaking tests, but it least it raises my average up to an A- in the class.
Now all that is left is the final.
Bring it on.
(I'm going to go pass out from relief.)

Improvements in the evaluation of Thomsom Scattering Data on ASDEX upgrade
The avalanche diodes used as light detectors in the Thomson scattering diagnostic on the Axially Symmetric Divertor Experiment (ASDEX) Upgrade tokamak show a reduced signal-to-noise ratio during plasma discharges with high neutron rates and during plasma edge measurements. This often makes it impossible to determine the electron temperature from the ratios of the scattering signals of the different spectral channels analyzing the Thomson scattering spectrum. With the use of the maximum likelihood method combined with linearized electron temperature characteristics the electron temperature and density are determined directly from the scattering signals without calculating ratios between the signals. With this method the scattering signals for nearly all timepoints can be evaluated and the statistical errors of the electron temperature and density are up to factors of 2 and 1.4, respectively, smaller than achieved with the previous method.

Community School Coding
Community schools are started in areas where there are no government schools. Northern Uganda is largely rural and many villages are cut off from main roads, making them very difficult to reach.
Where the government has not prioritised the building of schools in remote locations, enterprising communities have started their own schools, despite facing significant challenges themselves related to poverty and disadvantage.
African Revival was inspired by the work of such communities and their desire and determination to educate their children.
In 2012 we designed a pilot programme to support one such community; the village of Lutuk on the edge of a national park. We decided to work with Lutuk to raise the standards of the school to enable it to become 'coded' by the government. Coding is the process which eventually leads to a school receiving government funding and, crucially, trained teachers.
Having worked with Lutuk, African Revival is looking to expand our support to other community schools to enable them to become coded and therefore to receive much-needed funds and trained teachers.

Borrow interest-free for three-and-a-half years! The best balance transfer credit cards to help clear your debts
Generous introductory offers on balance transfer credit cards have been steadily climbing over recent years.
Credit card providers are now handing out 0 per cent interest promotions lasting up to 43 months, to get you to switch.
If you use these deals sensibly, these cards can help you become debt-free much quicker, with your repayments focused on clearing your balance, rather than covering interest.
Interest freeze: An extended 0 per cent interest term can help borrowers clear their debts quicker
Those with short to medium-term debts can use such offers to finally get out of the red, while those with much more to repay can look to these cards to provide a lower cost alternative to their existing debts.
But beware: there are caveats to consider and barriers to overcome when applying for such cards (see box) below.
Many balance transfer cards also come with a 0 per cent period for new purchases as well.
Avoid the traps
The crucial thing to remember is that card companies aren't providing cheap credit as a favour.
They want you to not clear debts during the 0 per cent period and spend more on the card, which makes them money.
Avoiding falling into this trap is the key to balance transfer success.
Remember, you are trying to repay your debts, not build up more. So think hard before buying anything else with credit.
Work out how much you need to repay each month in order to clear the debt in time and set up a direct debit.
Beware, pay late or spend beyond your limit and you could have the 0 per cent promotion whipped away.
This is Money has compiled a selection of the best deals currently available in the balance transfer market.
This page is kept updated throughout the year - bookmark it for the very latest developments.

|Correct as of June 07 2017
Being approved for a balance transfer card is by no means guaranteed.
In theory, those with the best credit ratings are the most likely to be approved for a card as they will have a history of paying off debt on time and have a stable income.
It is more probable that those with poor credit ratings will be rejected.
Those who are refused should bear in mind that applying for a number of other balance transfer cards in a short space of time will worsen their credit rating.
Many card providers will not allow you to transfer balances from another of its own products, so you should identify the best deal for you outside of your existing providers before making an application.
Some providers meanwhile may only accept your application if you already hold a current account with them.
There are other restrictions you will also have to satisfy, such as having a minimum level of income (generally £10,000-£20,000).
And to take advantage of introductory 0 per cent offers, you will have to transfer your balance within a specified time-frame.
Lowest handling fee cards
For those confident they can pay off their credit card debts in a short space of time, then getting a balance transfer card with a lower handling fee, but lower interest-free period, can limit the extra charges on your debt.
Competition is tight with the top four our five providers offering fees below one per cent and fairly decent balance transfer windows too.
Market leader:
Santander's new All In One card offers 43 months 0 per cent interest on balance transfers with a 0 per cent handling fee.
The card also comes with 6 months 0 per cent interest on spending and 0.5 per cent cashback on all spending - but it comes at a cost as the provider charges a £3 monthly fee.
Over the course of the 43 months the card would therefore cost you £129 in fees making it a less attractive deal compared to shorter alternatives.
Halifax offers a 29-month balance transfer deal with no handling fees as long as you move your debt within 90 days. After that the transfer fee is 3 per cent.
The deal also includes 6 months 0 per cent interest on purchases.
Sainsbury's Bank has a 28-month balance transfer credit card with a 0 per cent handling fee.
The card comes with 5,000 bonus Nectar points when you spend £250 stores in the first month, and pays 2 points per £1 with the supermarket and 1 point per £5 elsewhere.
TSB offers the same 28-month deal with no handling fee if for transfers made within the first 90 days. It also comes with three month interest free purchases and 1 per cent cashback on purchases if you also hold the TSB Classic Plus current account.
MBNA's Platinum Credit Card gives 42 months of 0% interest on balance transfers - the second longest deal available (2.79% handling fee applies). Make sure to clear the balanace before interest shoots up to 20.9% p.a. 18.9% APR
Halifax's Clarity Credit Card charges no fees on overseas purchases and withdrawals - but remember interest will be applied immediately, so make sure to pay off holiday spends quickly. 18.9% APR
The AA Low Rate Credit Card charges 5.85% APR - the lowest interest rate available. It comes with 3 months 0% interest on purchases and balance transfers with no handling fees.
The Sainsbury's Bank Purchase Credit Card offers 31 months of 0% interest on purchases - a best-buy deal. The offer also includes 0% interest on balance transfers for 3 months (3% handling fee applies). 18.9% APR
M&S Bank's Shopping Plus Credit Card gives 25 months of 0% interest on purchases and balance transfers (2.9% handling fee applies), plus it pays M&S reward points on spending. 18.9% APR
Best low rate balance transfers
People who have racked up substantial credit card debt which is unlikely to be paid off within two years can plump for cards which offer lower rates of interest.
However, those who are considering this option should seek advice as to whether there might be a better deal to be a had consolidating such debts into a loan, particularly with borrowing rates at record lows at the moment.
Market leader: MBNA
MBNA offers a temporary interest rate of 4.9 per cent on balance transfers for 60 months.
What you get
After 60 months, the rate does jump to 8.9 per cent but this is still relatively low compared to the standard 18.9 per cent APR attached to most cards.
Purchases made within the first 60 days also qualify for the promotional rate.
Moving a balance to the card will incur a fee of 0.5 per cent, which works out at £5 for every £1,000 you transfer.
To clear a £3,000 balance with a £15 transfer fee would cost £381 in interest if you were to take the full 5 years repaying £56.76 each month.
The AA charges 5.85 (APR) per cent interest on it's low-rate credit card.
There is no transfer fee and you get three months 0 per cent interest on balance transfers and money transfers.

Hi, thanks for joining me.
What would a musician know about alternative healing you might ask? Well, I have been interested in self help and self healing for a number of years and in particular what is now commonly referred to as "energy medicine". It was as though I was being drawn along a long trajectory of self healing arts. Along the way I have learned Reiki, Thought Field Therapy, Quantum Touch and EFT, Matrix Energetics and studied non dual consciousness. Recently I completed a Certificate in Intuitive Life Coaching with King Mastery Institute. All to know more about the connection between awareness and mind body and also because the subject absolutely continues to intrigue me. I suffered from acute stress at the height of promotions for "Martha's Vineyard" when we signed with rooArt/Polygram which I didn't know at all how to handle, I only wish I had the knowledge I do now, it could have saved me alot of grief. Of course the journey is as it is and as it unfolds so no need to regret. In fact I consider I have become incredibly enriched by all I have learned and it sure makes me look at life very very differently.
Discovering The Healing Codes
I wasn't actually looking for anything, but there it was on my computer screen and immediately my curiosity was tweaked. Hmm, this looks weird and wonderful I thought. Can it really be authentic? I went through all the information on Dr Alex Loyd's website and listened to as many conference calls and watched the online videos before jumping in. On this page I am offering a free pdf download for those of you interested to know how to use a wonderful tool called the Peace Healing Code, from Dr Alex Loyd's Healing Codes 12 Code system to relieve stress and heal what he terms the pictures of the heart. If you want download the-healing-codes-report-2016 or keep reading for more information and background on the codes.
"Setting your sights on inner peace"
With an energy healing toolkit now The Healing Codes is the method I go to first and foremost as it is elegant and powerful for easing pain, assisting the gastro-intestinal system to heal itself and relieving stress or anxiety, fear, phobias or even panic attacks. To the uninitiated this could seem far fetched or even impossible yet I have experienced the benefits of The Healing Codes and the peace codes first hand. When you learn the protocol and hand positions it quickly becomes second nature. Please keep reading and I'll fill in some background about the philosophy and science behind energy medicine and in particular The Healing Codes.
We Know that Stress Kills – But how do we Really Relax?
Stanford University Medical School studies plus numerous health experts report that the number one killer on the planet is stress. According to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta (CDC) an estimated 80% of all health care dollars are spent on illnesses related to stress. Cellular biologist Bruce Lipton in his own research (see www.brucelipton.com) found that 95% of all illness occurs from stress in the body's autonomic nervous system. Clearly we are at a critical point in our collective understanding about stress and it implications to our overall health. As an individual you, just as I have done with this tool can easily take your health, now quite literally into our own hands.
You can Dissolve the effects of erroneous beliefs and feel the benefits quickly
With stress at an all time high as a society and a species it's clear humanity could benefit from a whole new approach to every day living. What if we simply made the decision today to make a shift in our perspective and attention? What if we could operate more from an internal awareness rather than looking outside for cues and answers to emotional and ultimately physical problems?
We can implement numerous alternative healing tools to support and orient us during this "awakening" and the healing codes in particular right now the peace code allows for harmonisation of the body, mind and heart. Simply by being aware and conscious of our thoughts and how they make us "feel" we can utilise the peace codes when needed. This practise is a literal re- patterning from unconscious reaction to a more conscious way of responding. Implementing the peace codes in the moment makes deep transformation possible for anyone using them. No build up, no physical repercussions down the track. All feelings of stress unless detached from at the moment they arise add to the build up in the body of negative charge. This is basic and something I first learned years ago in Vipassana meditation. But if you don't have 10 consecutive days you can take off to do a free course, then read on because this here is another way.
Heal pictures of the heart
Dr Alex Loyd proclaims that The Healing Codes can release negative emotion, a negative memory, belief or a physical symptom. For example a person who is insecure about carrying just a few extra kilos might hold the belief that "I am so fat and everyone is thinking how awful I look". But that is just a thought, with no real basis in fact. A subjective belief as others may not even be paying any attention to the way they look. Some may prefer a little extra padding. They might have other things completely on their minds. The negative belief in the person's mind however will cause them to feel uncomfortable, self conscious and defensive and it might follow that any interactions or glances from others will most likely cause them to interpret them as being ill willed or negative toward them, whether or not they are so intended. Consequently their whole day may be affected by their state of mind. Likewise the belief another insecure person might have is that "I suck at everything" will cause them to feel clumsy and unbalanced in fact then causing them to not perform the best that they could at any given task. Their unbalanced thoughts create worse case scenario.
Top recommendation for self healing toolbox
The examples above are rather simplifed to the extreme but sometimes we hold thoughts or reactions in our sub-conscious minds that are not so easy to detect. How then do we know if we are holding a deeper seated wrong belief? How do we finally live more freely? We need to be willing to let go of who we "think" we are. For often we have become so accustomed to identifying with our thoughts and our moods even to the point of frustration. Speaking about myself here. But here we have our very important clue. Well, we are in fact very fortunate to have an incredibly accurate internal guidance system called our emotions. We simply need to learn to detach and act accordingly to what we "feel". If we feel "low", angry, depressed, jealous etc it's a message from our internal guidance system that there is an unconscious belief we are holding which is untrue regarding our actual being. Inner peace is our birthright and using energy medicine can turn us onto a path of further self discovery. The Institute of Heart Math in California has given us hopeful news indicating that when we remove stress the genes themselves will often heal.
The Healing Codes Dissolve Destructive Images
Healing Codes which were discovered by Dr Alex Loyd in answer to his deep inquiry for a solution for his wife's acute, longstanding depression. Her case was quite remarkable. For after applying the Healing Code technology her depression lifted literally within minutes. He then began trialing the technique on other clients in his Psychology Practise and found they were also helped. Remarkably his clients started telling him about other physical ailments that were being healed spontaneously along with their psychological issues.
How Does One Do a Healing Code?
Simply put the healing energy in the form of using ones own finger tips (bio-energy) directed at four unique healing centres of the body is used by The Healing Codes to heal different unhealthy beliefs and images which are held in the cellular memory. In this manner a Healing Code allows the body to begin its own healing by changing the underlying destructive energy pattern or frequency of a destructive image to a healthy one.

Setting: Set in the continuation-verse, which picks up about three months after the end of "Chosen". So, spoilers for pretty much everything, including any "episodes" in this series that have come before it.
Notes: Here we go with my most ambitious 'fic project ... well, ever, basically. A virtual continuation of a show with a whole heck of a lot more story to tell. Since deciding to do this project I've discovered that there are, in fact, many Season 8's ... but this is the only one with the Jet Wolf Seal of Involvement, so that guarantees freshness. Or something.
Episodes are posted to weekly, at 8pm EST on Tuesdays, all pretty and HTML'd with graphics and oo! Credits. We have credits, too. Eps will appear the following Friday or Saturday on So if you don't want to wait all that extra time (and really, how could you?), the site is the way to go.

Episode 13: "The Inward Eye"
Story by: Jet Wolf & Ultrace
Written by: Jet Wolf & Novareinna
Act Four
At Buffy's appearance, all heads turned toward the dining room entranceway. Tara was at the head of the table, directly in the Slayer's line of sight. On either side of Tara sat Willow and Dawn, with Xander and Giles seated closest to the kitchen. The Watcher was the first to regain his senses, and he opened his mouth to formulate some sort of explanation, however inadequate it may have been, given the circumstances.
He didn't get the chance. In the time it took Giles to even think about speaking, Buffy had seen enough. Like a veil falling into place, the surprise she felt at her unexpected visitor was replaced with grim determination, and the Slayer knew what must be done.
"Dawn, come away from there," she commanded in a calm voice, but with absolute authority. Never once did the blonde's eyes flicker from what she perceived as a threat.
Frowning, Dawn tried to calm her sister. "No, Buffy, it's okay. It's—"
"Get away from it!"
The teenager was already on her feet and had taken two steps before she realized she had moved. Smoothly, ensuring he made no sudden gestures, Giles rose and went to Buffy's side, where he nodded for Dawn to come closer. Glancing from Tara to Buffy, Xander left his seat next to Willow and also joined the Slayer. His brow was creased with concern, but Buffy paid it no mind. Instead, she watched Tara like a hawk, tense and prepared for anything.
Willow gawked at her best friend as if she'd never seen Buffy before. Tara, however, did not appear surprised at the Slayer's reaction. Muted but calm resolution was apparent on the blonde witch's features as she absorbed Buffy's fierce response, but that was all. No other emotions could be determined. By and large, Tara was utterly unreadable.
The stunned compliance had completely worn off for Dawn, and now the teenager was fuming at her sister. "What is your deal—Hey!"
Now that she was within reach, Buffy seized Dawn's arm and none too gently yanked her close. Deliberately, Buffy placed herself between Tara and Dawn, ignoring the spluttered protests behind her. Dawn jerked her arm out of the Slayer's grasp with an accusatory, "God!"
"Buffy ..." Giles tried to calm her, resting his hand on the blonde's rigid shoulder.
She ignored both of them, never allowing her gaze to waver from Tara for even a fraction of a second. "Willow, move away," Buffy ordered in the same calm tone she had first used with her sister.
"What? No." Willow shook her head for emphasis, frowning at the Slayer with confusion. "Buffy, it's Ta—"
"It's not," interrupted Buffy with certainty. "She's dead, Willow. I don't know what that is, but you need to get away from it. Now."
"No," the redhead repeated as she rose to her feet. Resting her hand on the back of Tara's chair, she tried her best to explain the complicated situation. "Look, I-I know this is a huge shock, but it's ..." Willow turned her gaze down to the blonde witch. "Tara, tell her—"
"Now, Will," Buffy barked, and the demand left absolutely no room whatsoever for questioning.
Unlike Dawn, however, Willow did not move. Quite the opposite, the spat command served no purpose other than to infuriate the witch. Her back became stiff and her eyes narrowed to thin, angry slits. The air around her almost seemed to crackle with energy, and in that moment, Willow was not a person to be crossed.
And neither was the Slayer. Buffy was every inch as unwavering, and the already thick tension in the room skyrocketed to nearly choking levels.
Entirely uncomfortable, Xander glanced nervously from Buffy to Willow. Swallowing hard, he took a brave step forward, not completely getting between them, but positioning himself so that both women would certainly see him, even as their glares were fixated elsewhere. He repeatedly tapped the palm of one hand onto the fingertips of the other, forming a "T". "Oooo-kaaay, I'm callin' time-out before these lovely dining room chairs get smashed into many less-functional pieces," he announced.
Nobody reacted. Buffy continued to glare at Tara, almost shooting out a challenge, daring the blonde to make a move. Tara met Buffy's eyes steadily, but her expression remained impassive. Willow was by far the most outwardly emotional of them all, her hands having balled themselves into fists that were shaking slightly at her sides.
"C'mon guys," Xander attempted to cajole, "there are plenty of crab puffs to go around, no need to degenerate into violence here."
Despite his valiant efforts, the carpenter was obviously being ignored, and Giles stepped in to try again. "Buffy. It's all right." Radiating calm, the Watcher addressed his Slayer in a low, soothing voice.
"Giles, what is it?" Buffy rasped back in a stage whisper, unable to spare him a glance.
"I'm not yet certain," he confessed. "For all intents and purposes, it appears to be Tara."
That finally did the trick, and Buffy swung her head around to gape at Giles. The deadlock broken, Xander took the opportunity to draw Dawn away from behind her sister, placing a comforting arm around the frazzled teenager's shoulders.
No longer bothering to even try and be discreet, an incredulous Buffy stated, "You can't seriously be telling me that ..." She flung her arm out at the blonde. "...whatever-the-hell is Tara."
"I'm telling you we don't yet know who or-or what that may be," the Watcher patiently explained, still keeping his voice soft and low. "But what I can tell you is that she's been alone with Willow and Dawn since early this afternoon and both are fine. If she wanted to hurt them, she had ample opportunity to do so. I know this is an ... extraordinary situation, and we'll find out what's going on. I promise you." He offered her a slight smile. "But let's do so without destroying the house, hm?"
Effort was necessary on Buffy's part, but she managed to compose herself, even if just a little. As token a gesture as it may have been, Xander and Dawn embraced it wholeheartedly, and they both sagged in relief. Willow, however was unmoved, and her fists remained tightly clenched.
Buffy returned her steely attentions to Tara. "I want answers," she insisted to Giles in a clear voice that very easily carried to everyone in the room.
"We'll get them," he promised. "Now come on, your sesame chicken is getting cold."
Steering her gently by the shoulders, Giles escorted Buffy to the nearest chair, but a digitized rendition of the theme song from "Cops" filled the air. The blonde pulled away and reached into her pants pocket, fishing out her cell phone and flipping it open.
"Yeah?" she snapped, then fell silent as she listened. Briefly, she glanced to Giles. "Yeah, he's here. ... Where? ... Okay, we'll be there in 15 minutes. Don't let him leave." Snapping the phone closed, she shoved it back into her pocket and addressed the Watcher. "That was Faith. They've tracked Jeffreys to a warehouse downtown but they're having some trouble getting to him. They need us."
Nodding his understanding, Giles turned to leave. Before he could take a step, however, Buffy grabbed his arm. Xander approached the pair to listen in.
In a harsh whisper, Buffy asked, "What about...?" She jerked her head toward Tara.
"We can't bring everyone with us, not without putting them at risk," Giles replied. "As I said before, if she wanted to hurt them, she could have. I don't believe they're in any danger from her. At least not right now."
"I'll keep my eye on her," volunteered Xander. "The good one, even." He smiled at his joke, but it was weak and faded quickly, his heart clearly not behind the effort. The carpenter gave Buffy an uncertain, worried look. "You really think Tara would hurt them?"
"Our Tara? No way. But I am far from convinced that this thing is anything more than some cheap made-in-Taiwan knockoff, and I will not stand by and watch it destroy Willow and Dawn all over again."
The Slayer watched as Dawn, having reclaimed her original seat, scooted closer to Tara. Very slowly, Willow sat down again as well, but not once did the redhead's angry, mistrustful eyes slip away from Buffy.
Outside the warehouse, the group of Junior Slayers turned as Giles' sports car came to a screeching stop. The gathering quickly parted to allow the Watcher and Buffy to enter the building. Once inside, Faith and Kennedy soon joined the pair.
"What's the sitch?" asked the blonde Slayer, her eyes swiftly adjusting to the relatively dim interior.
With a twitch of her head, Kennedy directed Buffy to the far end of the building. "Our boy here's being only slightly less entertaining than a Jim Carrey movie. He's barely moved a muscle since he tried to fry Melanie."
Buffy glanced at the injured Junior in question. Melanie appeared to be in good shape, except for the fact that a huge hunk of hair was missing and there were makeshift bandages wrapped around her arm. The girl was openly glaring at Jeffreys, her expression enraged but still wary. She made no move to venture beyond the point where she was standing. Jeffreys had now positioned himself atop a stack of crates. He somewhat resembled a presiding judge seated behind a lofty bench, all the better to peer down at those beneath him. His eyes, however, were closed.
"Is anyone else injured?" asked the concerned Watcher.
Kennedy shook her head. "No. After he Flamed On, I pulled everyone back."
Giles treated her to a small smile of approval. "Mm, best course of action. Wise decision." He moved further toward Kennedy in order to be brought up to speed on the current situation as Faith motioned Buffy to one side.
"So much for rest and relaxation at home, huh?" said the dark-haired Slayer with a grin.
Buffy puffed angrily. "You have no idea."
Faith blinked in surprise at the snipped response. "Dawn plaster your room with sparkly stickers again?"
"In comparison? That, I would welcome," stated the blonde.
"Even the 'Blue's Clues' ones?" Faith asked with a snicker. Buffy nodded just once, it was a sharply executed move. Faith whistled under her breath. "Damn, it must be serious. What's up?"
"Later," the blonde told Faith, noticing Giles and Kennedy coming toward them. She regarded the dark-haired Slayer seriously for a moment. "Actually, if this is as bad as I think it is, I may need your help."
Faith was equally serious. "I got your back," she said earnestly.
Buffy gave her a quick but sincere smile before turning to Giles and Kennedy. "Let's make this quick, Giles, I don't want to leave—" she stopped mid-sentence and glanced in Kennedy's direction, apparently reluctant to continue along that particular track of conversation. She hastily switched gears. "I want to get home quick."
"I understand," the Watcher nodded in agreement. "Unfortunately, additional research appears to have turned up precious little in the way of information. The Utsikt Skjønn is mentioned in only a small handful of texts, and those with any substantial information only point back to the translated rhyme. If we're to find an answer, I suspect it will be there."
"Since Giles was born without the ability to interact with any sort of mechanical device," stated Kennedy, blatantly ignoring Giles' wounded glare, "I got the Council to text message the poem." She waggled her Palm Pilot for all to see and then began to read, "'Two are shown, both sides—'"
Faith began to pace restlessly back and forth. "For real now, I had enough. He ain't moved in like an hour now an' I think he's catchin' some Z's." She narrowed her eyes and stared at Jeffreys. With a sudden movement, she started toward him.
Giles reached out and seized her arm. "Faith, wait!"
The dark-haired Slayer easily shook off the Watcher's grasp. "You can stick to Poetry 101," she told him. "Me, I always did better with contact sports."
Her stride was confident, brash and almost nonchalant as Faith made her way toward Jeffreys. He did indeed appear to be sleeping, but after she had taken a few paces, his eyes snapped open. Fixing her with vacant stare, his gaze was unfocused for a mere second before it visibly cleared.
"Crap," muttered Faith. She rapidly quickened her step, but Jeffreys was even speedier than the fast-approaching Slayer.
"You have been found guilty," he accused dispassionately.
His glasses flared, and the area around Faith ignited. With a nimble leap to the side, the dark-haired Slayer rolled to the ground, cursing profusely as her shoulder made contact with the bare concrete. Continuing to rotate, she returned to her feet, none the worse for wear save that her hair and clothes were smoking a little. The area where she had been mere seconds before blazed brightly for a moment and then died with a hissing splutter, leaving behind the same runic mark that already decorated the walls. As if in slow motion, Jeffreys head swiveled to where Faith was now standing. Quickly, she backed away and rejoined the others in what was presumably the "safe" zone beyond Jeffreys' range.
As casually as possible, she turned to Giles and her fellow Senior Slayers. "Okay, so 'Two are shown' ..."
Kennedy smirked but apparently decided to keep any remarks to herself. She turned her attention back to the Palm and opened her mouth to speak. But before she could utter a single word, Giles snatched at the device.
"Just a moment," he said with some excitement. "I think ..." He read quietly to himself as Faith kept a guarded eye on Jeffreys, who had now settled back into his inertia. "I think I have it!" the Watcher declared, continuing to inspect the small computer but saying nothing further. The three Slayers standing nearby looked at each other.
"Earth to Giles," prompted Buffy. "Remember us? Slayers, here to fight the bad guy? We'd like some info to fulfill our purpose now."
At the sound of his name, the Watcher was roused from his ostensible revelation. Somewhat absently, he regarded each of their faces. "Oh! Oh, yes, sorry," he apologized, straightening his glasses and taking a deep breath. "From the information I read earlier on the orb, it was a fascinating instrument. Though the Vikings were much less interested in its judiciary properties as compared to its supposed prowess on the battlefield, early leaders would use it to—"
Faith rolled her eyes as Kennedy tapped her foot impatiently. Sighing, Buffy gestured at Giles in manner that very obviously said "come on". With a frown, Giles handed the Palm back to Kennedy and tried again.
"I believe that when the wearer gazes upon an individual, they are shown both the best thing and the worst thing that person has done in their life. The wearer passes judgment on what they're shown. When found guilty ..." he paused and indicated the marking on the floor that had remained after the attack on Faith.
"And if they're not guilty?" asked Kennedy curiously.
The creases in Giles' forehead deepened. "Nothing happens, I'd expect."
"You'd expect?" Buffy questioned dubiously. "Not a ringing endorsement."
Giles removed his glasses and began to vigorously polish. "As with all theories," he told her, "it needs testing. Someone must get close enough to Mr. Jeffreys to remove the artifact. All we need do is find someone who has committed no evil in their lives."
Faith immediately retreated a step and held up her good arm. "That's me out."
"I'll do it," announced Buffy without hesitation.
Faith scoffed very loudly.
"What?! " snapped the blonde, whirling to face her jeering colleague. "I'm not evil. I've never been evil. I haven't even had an evil twin that might get it all confused. My twin was a vampire's overly perky sex toy - which, I'll grant you, is icky, but not evil."
Faith shrugged. "No evil. Huh. And here I seem to recall you tryin' t' feed me to your undead lover – who just happened to have a kill count in the triple digits – leadin' to eight months of the least amount of fun I've ever had on my back." She looked at Buffy and tilted her head expectantly.
The blonde turned to Giles, "Right," she said perkily. "So who else we got?"
"Me," proclaimed Kennedy, as all eyes focused on her. "No big. The most evil thing I've ever done was get a friend to print my half-sister's diaries in the school paper. And that wasn't evil so much as, you know ... funny."
The others seemed unconvinced.
"Look," Kennedy assured, "things get nasty, I'll jump out of the way. Worst case, I forcibly get a new hairstyle."
Buffy glanced incredulously at Giles who returned the glance and then said, "I'd feel better about Kennedy trying rather than one of the girls."
"Alright," the blonde reluctantly agreed with a heavy sigh. "But eyes open. Second you start to feel even a little warm, get clear."
With a sharp acknowledging nod, Kennedy began to walk toward Jeffreys. Giles swept all the Juniors back a few more feet, well out of harm's way, as Buffy and Faith watched Kennedy intently, both ready to provide assistance if need be. Though tense and cautious, Kennedy's stride was certain. As before, Jeffreys' lids snapped open as she came closer. The brunette momentarily froze, ready to dive to one side at any given moment if necessary. Behind the spectacles, Jeffreys' eyes glazed for a second. Then, he blinked. Kennedy crouched slightly, prepared to spring in a heartbeat if such were called for. Both Faith and Buffy visibly stiffened as Giles took a step forward, but it was obvious that Kennedy had no intention of being caught unawares.
Jeffreys' voice was laced with authority as he spoke. "You have been found innocent."
Kennedy straightened and smirked. "Tell that to my first girlfriend."
Still wary, but more confident now, Kennedy swiftly crossed the floor to where Jeffreys was perched upon his stack of crates. The youth's eyes had closed once more and his expression was one of almost total exhaustion. With agile movements, Kennedy quickly scaled the small mountain of wooden boxes. Then, fast as a bolt of lightning, she shot out her hand and snatched the spectacles from his nose. Almost immediately, Jeffreys toppled and slid down the crates. By the time he hit the floor, he was already unconscious.
Waving the glasses in the air, Kennedy executed a nifty victory dance. "Aww yeah," she crowed, "who's karmically superior?"
Turning their backs on the self-appointed champion, both Buffy and Faith rolled their eyes before shuffling out of the warehouse.
With a weary motion, Giles flipped the light switch as he and Buffy entered his office. The room was immediately illuminated with a soft yellow glow. The Slayer, exhaustion showing plainly on her face, limped to the nearest chair and sank into it with much gratitude, heaving a sigh of relief to be off her feet. The Watcher, a small brass box tucked under one arm and several books under the other, crossed to his desk and carefully placed the metal container on its surface. He then proceeded to return the volumes to their appropriate shelves.
"I'll only be a moment," he told her, lifting his glasses and rubbing his eyes, "then I'll drop you home."
"Good," muttered the blonde, obviously not in the best of moods but trying to be civil. "Thanks."
"It'll be all right you know," Giles told her over his shoulder.
"Will it?" queried Buffy doubtfully. Her tone was strained. "Crazy Ford-tough girls busting in and nearly killing everyone, something in my house wearing the face of a dead friend, and now ..." She waved her hand at the box on Giles' desk, "evil kids and their evil glasses."
Filing the last book in its rightful position, the Watcher turned. "They weren't evil. Neither the glasses nor Mr. Jeffreys."
The blonde regarded him with skepticism. "And yet, they managed to kill and destroy. See what can be accomplished when you work together?" She quirked an eyebrow.
"How sententious of you," replied the Watcher sarcastically. Buffy's face adopted a blank expression as she looked at him quizzically, but Giles declined to offer an explanation, instead perching on the edge of his desk. "Still, neither were evil, per se," he continued. "The- The artifact simply showed Mr. Jeffreys two sides of a person. The best that they had accomplished, and the worst. Then it ... compelled him to make a choice. To weigh in on- on the person's achievements, based upon two defining moments at opposite ends of the spectrum."
"It, or he ... Someone killed, Giles," the Slayer stated with all seriousness. "That makes it pretty evil in my book."
Considering this, Giles retrieved the brass box from the top of his desk and deposited it carefully into a cabinet at the rear of the room. Closing the door, he turned back to Buffy, his tone thoughtful. "I suppose it's all a matter of perspective."
The loud, continual splatter of water from the showerhead was cut back to a few thin trickles as knobs were twisted down and finally off completely. A fine mist hung in the air, clinging to every surface in tiny beads of moisture. The shower's lone occupant pulled the back curtain and reached for a towel, securing it in place and stepping out onto the bath mat.
Approaching the clouded mirror, a hand reached out and brushed a swath clear. Bracing her arms against the sink, Tara stood and stared herself in the eye. She paid no attention to the marking over her heart – an eye atop a key, only partially concealed by the towel wrapped around her. Her face stony and unreadable, she continued to regard her reflection without expression.

- Details & Specs
- Our very own Camo Tee, built extra-tough for the guy who climbs trees, gathers firewood, and scales rocky hillsides just because he can! The heavyweight 100% cotton jersey fabric is comfortable, breathable and mega-durable. And because it's brushed, it's also whisper-quiet, so you won't "rustle up" any excess noise during those early-season bow hunts.
We designed it with a generous fit, so it won't bind up when you climb, bend, twist or reach. And then we added a pocket, because all men need an extra pocket for mouth calls, beef jerky, and all that good stuff.
- 100% cotton jersey is durable, soft and quiet
