It's still possible she might move very fast but her from suggests otherwise.
Agreed....she definitely seems akin to Agatha/Riful/Raciella in that she basically has almost no mobility, but a complete view of the battlefield around her; able to attack in almost any direction. The trick with something like that, is being able to get outside her range-of-attack -- getting to her, before she gets to you.
Though personally, I do
think she is as strong as either Priscilla or Raciella...in all honesty, her Awakened form is disappointing as I was expecting something smaller and more human-sized like Prissy's. Her large size puts her at a huge advantage against smaller human-sized opponents - again, so long as you are quick and/or suppressed that you can stay hidden or away from her attacks, she's almost defenseless. It's all about taking advantage of her lack of mobility.
At any rate, now that I have power again in my house, I am able to read patiently the (translated no less) chapter -- since I wasn't reading in a rush, I was momentarily shocked when Hysteria appeared to have died....but what gets me is this -- apparently since it was intended from the start that all 3 would awaken, what does this mean for her? If this "automatic" process would not have taken place, would Hysteria really have died?
That's what I don't get from the Miria's dialog -- she says that "even though you have died before, I didn't want to kill a fellow warrior"....how are we supposed to take it? Truthfully in that, that is the case, in which Miria is only "defeating" and knocking her out, or in a more sarcastic/regretful way in that she was pushed to killing her because that was the only way to subdue her.
Either way, at least I now understand more this chapter, especially the end with Roxanne - I really did not understand whatsoever what was going on, partially due to my initial rush reading, but now I see the tentacles are coming from her - in that she is awakening against her will. Either way, it looked like Roxanne was also going to be killed anyway; as I described before, her actions this chapter were very akin to Ophelia against that tentacle AB -- her insanity seemed to overrule her better judgment...but while Ophelia lucked out in that the AB didn't rip her head off, it seemed like Roxanne was about to killed off as well. I didn't want Cassie to awaken, but now that I see all of them awakening was inevitable, I strangely don't feel so disappointed. I still wonder about her future the most out of all the three.
What also intrigues me is my impression of Dae; my first reading of the raw with the translations (
), made me feel that he was almost on his deathbed...that, not just the end of the Org, but that he felt that his life was at an end, and before he died, he wanted to witness Priscilla....logical I suppose -- after all, if Priscilla shows up, he surely can't expect to survive. What gets my attention though is that I didn't get this feeling the second time around....just a feeling perhaps, but I feel their's something we haven't been told yet or we are not expecting -- such as, perhaps he has another card to play. If Priscilla truly does shows up, their's a good likelihood that she'll shred everyone and everything in sight, with him included....but I didn't get that same feeling this time -- I don't think he wants Priscilla to show up so he'll see his greatest achievement before he dies...he wants Priscilla to show up, but he has something in mind afterward.
So yes, it's all just a feeling, but if nothing else, it shows how much feelings can change overtime about a single chapter -- I definitely don't feel the end is in sight; it may appear that way with the Org's apparent demise, but regardless if they do fall....things are far from over, and Dae (and Rubel as well) still have tricks up their sleeve.
One more intriguing thing....the way Dae goes on about Priscilla...makes me wonder.....what about Teresa? what are his feelings about her? Does he really favor Hysteria/Roxanne/Cassandra merely out of favoritism, or because he always saw them as the strongest they ever did? It appears to be the latter, the way he wants to see Priscilla, but what does that say about Teresa and his feelings/knowledge/awareness/etc about her? About her power and potential?
Regardless of how we feel on the Teresa/Priscilla debate, both of them have unspeakable power....to praise one so much, almost demands the same for the other...and his lack of attention to her feels iffy -- was he not aware of her potential, of her power? And if so, what does that say for all the other No.1's that he had in his collection? We know the Org wasn't exactly up-to-date on warrior's true power and potential; does Dae fit into that category as well?
Thing is, his way of talking about the new warriors and Priscilla seems that he likes them for their power, and not simply out of favoritism or "affection".....really, time will tell how truly strong these warriors are, now especially that they are awakened (though personally, thus far, Cassie does
fit the bill in being someone stronger then an AO, like Priscilla, like they were seemingly aiming for), but nevertheless, their's something very wrong in nothing being said of Teresa.
You know, their are as many ways to live as their are people in this world...and each one deserves a closer look.

Meditation has for more centuries been associated near nonphysical robustness and a general-purpose import of okay existence. Those in the Eastern countries, where musing has e'er been widely practiced, may have celebrated its holistic effect, and the direct component meditating can tragedy in dutiful physiologic strength as powerfully as friendly.
In Western countries, though, nearby has largely been a uninterested cognition to the subdivision the run through of speculation can play in eudaimonia. In fact, any payment from meditating was essentially derided until recently. Health, of course, is the community of doctors and structure professionals, so piece doctors have been widely dismissive of musing as a welfare aid, it is not unforeseen the plain masses in Western countries have followed their metallic element.
In several ways, though, those orthodox attitudes of the medical occupational group do not base up to surrounding question paper. How oft have you heard of a unhurried being told, on man examined, that here is zip wrong, "it is all in the mind"? There you have a doctor saying, short hesitation, that the patient's symptoms are all in the mind; they travel from the wits and are not "real". So, if they admit so without delay that the psyche creates symptoms, why discount totally that the heed cannot also dance a part of the pack in cures or improvements in health?Post ads:

It has likewise been established for doctors to disregard few improvements to a patient's symptoms, once winning a non-drug treatment, that it is simply a medication result. In separate words, the overhaul is "all in the mind". On these occasions, the doctors, in testing to scatter the patient's robustness improvement, are acknowledging that the patient's own nous has brought astir that growth.
The quality mind, of course, is in interaction with the entire of the physical structure 24 hours a day, so if you outer shell at it from that angle, the cognition and body, geological and mental health, are all inextricably coupled at all modern world. As contemplation helps to establish more same make conform complete your mind, it does take off wide-screen break open the likelihood that meditating can be utilised to affect wellbeing. In new years, whatsoever form practitioners have come through to bring in that rumination can have whatsoever wellbeing benefits, and these are the areas wherever a little something has been peak focused:
1. Most late doctors will declare that difficulty is a well of eudaimonia problems, and quite a few now declare that contemplation can run down accent and serve race to wind down.Post ads:

It is devout to publication that a number of hospitals and doctors are incorporating a few hassle easing therapies, such as as meditation and massage, into their every day happenings. In fact, my original feel of hinduism contemplation was 10 time of life ago, in a class organized as one by the regional hospital and council. I was the solitary "baby", state nether 50, in the class, which was aimed at those beside a few bodily expurgation (in my crust united vertebrae) and gum olibanum attracted chiefly those in their latish 60's, 70's and 80's.

For particularised eudaemonia problems, you should trace your doctor's advice, but location is no plea you should not ask if meditation, or another increase techniques, may back you. These days, you may be stupefied by his or her statement.

I have seen that some people are confused when they need to create a texture and the texture it doesn't fit on all parts. So, here are some things that you need to know. In the first image you have the empty template.
I have noticed that many people tried to fit the texture from the hood, with that one from the fenders and they did something like this :
Let's say that they want to fit a line (I have made it transparent for a better explaination), they did it like this :
They had this result :
I am explaining you what you need to do in order to have a good result. So, these 2 vertices are connected :
This means that, in order to match the texture, we should do something like this :
Why ? Hmmm, I wil try to explain in a manner that everybody will understand.
On upper part on the fender, the line stops in a spot. That spot is that intsersection between the 3 edges. Also, that spot is also visible on the top view of the fender and the texture needs to continue from the same spot.
Example :
– on the side view of the fender, in the upper part of the fender, the stripe ends at the second vertex
– We need to apply the same rule on the top view of the fender. The texture needs to continue from the second vertex :
Aslo, let's take a look on the other side of our blue stripe. And as we can see, it won't fit and on the top side , it will be thinner. Here you can see why :
So, as reference we will take these 2 vertices, or spots :
On the side view : We will start to check what's the distance between the vertex and the limit of the stripe
As you can see, there are 25 pixels
On the top view :
So, now I guess that its clear for you that we need to increase the width of the stripe (on the top view) until we will have 25 pixels between the spot and the limit of the stripe :
And here you have the result :). I hope that this small article helped you .

I was super excited to participate in Bissell's White Sock Test and see just how nasty my carpets had gotten! I've been wanting to get them deep cleaned for a long time and so the opportunity to try Bissell's Lift-Off Deep Cleaning System came at a great time!
I received a pair of cute white Bissell socks with instructions to wet them and walk around on my carpet for 30 seconds. I did that and here is what my white socks looked like:
As you can see they were pretty gross and I was feeling like the carpets needed a deep cleaning more than ever! Enter Bissell's Lift-Off Deep Cleaning system! This unit works on carpet and even furniture. For the reasonable price of $249.99 this is a very versatile unit and since it saves me paying the local carpet steamer company it pays for itself with just a few uses!
As you can see the unit comes in 2 pieces, a large cleaner and the portable spot cleaner that worked great on the car upholstery as well as the couch. We don't have stairs but this portable unit would work great on carpeted stairs. We used the large unit for the carpets in the den and bedrooms and are really happy with the result. The unit only took a few minutes to put together and we were off and running with it.
I love that it "sprays, scrubs, and suction cleans" the carpets. That's super powerful! The unit has a built-in hot water heater and surround-suction for edge to edge cleaning. I didn't expect this unit to be as impressive as it is. It is solid and sturdy and is what I would expect if I had rented a piece of heavy machinery from my local lumber store to steam clean my carpets.
From Bissell: "Just as the iconic white glove test instantly detects dust on hard surfaces, BISSELL's White Sock Test exposes the unseen dirt that's lurking in carpets. It's a simple, at-home test that helps consumers see for themselves that vacuuming isn't enough to clean carpets thoroughly. Our White Sock Test contest encourages Americans to reveal the state of their carpet by putting on a clean white sock and twisting their foot on a high-traffic carpeted area in their home for 30 seconds."
Would you like to win a $15,000 home makeover? You can, just for uploading photos of your own White Sock Test to BISSELL's contest page on Facebook. You can then return to the page daily for a chance to instantly win a BISSELL cleaning product or a $25 Visa gift card!
I received compensation and a Lift-Off Deep Cleaning system for review but my opinions remain my own.

When always taken correctly, birth control pills are highly effective at preventing pregnancy. It's still possible, however, to become pregnant while on birth control pills, even if you always take your pill on time. Being on the pill may confuse some of the symptoms of pregnancy, but typical testing methods will ultimately still be effective in telling you whether or not you are pregnant.
Things You'll Need
- Home pregnancy test
Determine the date of your last period. For women not using hormonal birth control, a missed period is often one of the earliest signs of pregnancy. Women taking the birth control pill, however, may sometimes miss a period without being pregnant. If backed up by other signs or symptoms, a missed period may be a cause for concern, but should not be treated as definite evidence of pregnancy.
Think back on your record of taking your birth control pills. Since your last period, have you skipped any pills or taken any pills late? Missing pills can greatly increase your likelihood of getting pregnant while on the pill. You should treat a missed period as a definite reason for further investigation if you forgot to take any of your pills during your previous cycle.
Evaluate how you've been feeling lately. Are you experiencing any symptoms of pregnancy, such as breast tenderness, fatigue, headaches, or nausea? These symptoms can easily be caused by something other than pregnancy, but they may also be signs suggestive of pregnancy if you've missed a period.
Take a home pregnancy test. The results of the test will not be influenced by the fact that you are taking birth control pills. For the most accurate results, take the test at least a week after you were supposed to get your period. Keep in mind that a negative test result does not always mean that you're not pregnant. Most home pregnancy tests advise women to take the test again after a few days.
Visit your doctor if your home pregnancy test gives a positive result or if you get a negative result but still believe you may be pregnant. Your doctor will administer a blood test to confirm or rule out pregnancy. Visit your doctor as soon as possible; early confirmation will allow you to start prenatal care or give you time to sort through your options for how to proceed with your pregnancy.
Related Searches
Tips & Warnings
- Take a pregnancy test if you miss two periods in a row, even if you haven't missed any pills and don't have any other pregnancy symptoms.
- Do not stop taking your birth control pills until you are sure that you are pregnant. There is little evidence that it is dangerous to take birth control pills during an early pregnancy, and if you are not actually pregnant, discontinuing your pills puts you at risk of becoming pregnant.
- A pregnancy that occurs while taking the progestin-only pill is more likely to be an ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancies can be life-threatening, so seek medical attention if you believe you may be pregnant and are experiencing symptoms of ectopic pregnancy such as abnormal vaginal bleeding and lower abdominal pain.

Jim Payne, M.Div.
As a Pastoral Counselor with Village Counseling, I am honored to work with adult individuals and couples on their journeys toward deep healing and restoration. Having personally experienced much suffering and healing in my own life, I have great compassion for fellow strugglers and would count it a privilege to walk with you on the road toward renewed hope, joy, and love. My areas of focus include, but are not limited to, depression, anxiety, addiction, marital struggles, and relational distress.
Over the years, I have counseled and walked alongside adults struggling with a variety of issues, first as a campus minister at Oglethorpe University (my own alma mater) in Atlanta, GA, and then for several years as a pastor at Crosspoint Encuentro Church in Smyrna, GA. Prior to that, I graduated from Covenant Theological Seminary in St. Louis, Missouri with a Master of Divinity degree and became ordained in the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). I am authorized as a Pastoral Counselor and practice as such under GA State Law (GA Code Title 43-10A-7, b, 10, 11).
My conviction in counseling and in life is that no matter what we are facing, there is a real Joy that can find us even in the deepest sorrow. In the words of an old Scottish song, "O Joy that seekest me through pain, I cannot close my heart to thee; I trace the rainbow through the rain, and feel the promise is not vain, that morn shall tearless be." May this Joy find you and me today, right where we are.

Executive Coaching / Executive Psychotherapy:
External Issues
External issues such as family or marital issues, medical issues inevitably find their way into the workplace. These are addressed in a confidential environment that removes the fear and stigma that can prevent a valued professional from accessing and executing their full expertise and experience. We believe that internal conflicts such as anxiety, depression, introversion and lack of self-confidence generally are the issues that impede success and interfere with developing ones full talents and internal security.
Our Focus
Our Focus is on talent development and those internal, and external factors that prevent us from using all of ourselves in a business forum, relationship building both within the business and in social/business networking. This is our focus and we have been quite successful in helping individuals overcome and recognize those internal and relationships skills that prevent one from appreciate their talents and achieving success and enjoyment in their lives.
We offer hands on coaching you with writing crisp and meaningful reports. In addition, we also address issues of public speaking, and presentations. Too often finding and developing talent is difficult for individuals to ask for. Traditional mentoring is of course essential. However, the stigma attached to revealing more personal issues both internal and external can be more effectively addressed through our coaches.

Mark received his Master's degree in clinical social work at Loyola University. He also studied child and adolescent development at Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio, and received his Certification in Psychoanalysis at The Center for Psychoanalytic Study in Chicago.

There he worked with children and adults experiencing physical, emotional and cognitive disabilities. Following this, he became the Director of the Skyline Center in Clinton Iowa, where he led the clinical staff in the treatment of emotionally and cognitively disabled children and adolescents and provided psycho-therapy and counseling to their families.
Past Experience
As Senior Clinical Social Worker at Riveredge Hospital, Mark provided clinical consultation for the adult treatment teams, including psychologists, clinical social workers, occupational therapists and psychiatric nurses. He held this position for five years, serving as the liaison for attending psychiatric who frequently sought him out for his counsel, advice and direction of treatment. Mark insisted on excellence in treatment while advocating for the rights and confidentiality of patients. He subsequently served as consultant and instructor for group therapy at Mercy Hospital and Medical Center in Chicago.
Mark helped found the Center for Psychoanalytic Study, in part, to train and certify Clinical Social Workers and non-M.D. professionals. He graduated with a Certification in Psychoanalysis in 1989. From 1989 to 1999 he served on the Center's faculty while holding the position of Chief Clinical Social Worker, teaching clinical case seminars and supervising psychoanalytic candidates.
At Chicago's Columbus Hospital, Mark created The Lincoln Park Clinic and served as its director. The clinic's mission was to provide affordable intensive psychotherapy to members of the community, especially those who had recently been de-internationalized. He was and remains a resource to the community for complex clients, both as clinician and supervisor.
Maintaining a successful private practice for over 30 years, Mark is noted for the ease with which he engages his clients, his compassion, patience, and respect for the uniqueness of each individual. He recognizes that seeking professional help can be a difficult decision—one that requires courage and a deep sense of personal responsibility.

The woman and her husband were on their way to hospital when she went into labour; fellow passengers helped her give birth in the general compartment of the shuttle train
When Saphale-based couple Namrata and Yogesh Narayan Kini left their house last morning, they couldn't have suspected the following turn of events. 21-year-old Namrata was pregnant and had complained of abdominal pain, so they decided to go to the hospital for a check-up. But on their way in a shuttle train, Namrata went into labour.
RPF constables Sonali Pawar and Nausheen Shaikh rushed the mother and newborn to hospital. Pic/Hanif Patel
Fortunately, she and her husband found assistance from fellow commuters, who helped her safely deliver a baby girl around 9.30 am.
The young mother and her newborn were immediately rushed to hospital by Railway Protection Force (RPF) constables.
The incident
Yesterday, the heavily pregnant Namrata complained about abdominal pain to her husband, who runs a catering business.
The couple decided to pay a visit to her doctor in Virar. A little before 9 am, they boarded the general compartment of a Boisar-Diva shuttle train. However, Namrata went into labour in the train.
The male passengers in the coach made way for the delivery, while the woman gathered round to help her.
The stationmaster had already been informed. When the train reached Virar, the stationmaster and RPF constables Sonali Pawar and Nausheen Shaikh shifted mother and child to an ambulance and took them to Sanjeevani Hospital. Both the mother and the baby are safe.
RPF speak
Constable Pawar said, "We got a call from the stationmaster around 9.15 am and we immediately rushed to help. We reached the station and waited for the train to arrive.
She further added, "When the Diva-bound shuttle arrived at Virar station, we approached the general compartment where Namrata had delivered the baby girl with the help of fellow passengers. She was in an unconscious state. Another RPF constable covered her and the newborn and we took them to Sanjeevani Hospital in Virar."
It is better not to have Jallikattu. It is a type of cruelty to animals. I support SC. to give the decision. It may be a sport but see the other side. Many people also get hurt.

If you're looking for old-school analog handling in a package armed to the teeth with modern reliability, the search is over. This mixer's British EQ, 24 mic inputs (each with its own built-in studiograde XENYX preamp), 8 stereo inputs and 8 buses give you enough leeway to craft the recording of your dreams or create the perfect mix for a live show.
What the Heck is "British EQ"?British EQ is a smashing thing to have on your side when you start reaching for those channel equalization knobs at a live concert or in the studio.
The EQ's on British consoles from the 60s and 70s are what many engineers believe does their sound the best justice. When it comes to tweaking your sound, they're kind, gentle and above all, musical. It's like drinking a fine scotch instead of fortified wine.
British EQ's distinct configuration of wider curves/lower Q and harmonic phase characteristics allows you to add or subtract EQ more generously than you can with conventional EQ circuit designs. When you add low midrange, you get a firmer sound instead of a nasty bonk. When you back high frequencies off a bit, treble backs off just a hair instead of turning muffled.

Time is stupid.
Ugh! It's been forever since I posted on my own site. Not even sure why I post in spurts here. Probably the same reason I have a half dozen musical projects in various stages of completion. There's just too many things I'm interested in. I bet this is a common problem in today's world. Continue reading Time is stupid.
The underground metal scene will probably stay that way…
The metal scene will always remain underground because of the large amount of people in the scene that act like trying to lay new music on them is some fucking shitty thing to do. Fucking weird to me to see post after post on social media hating the idea of someone trying to share their tunes. Some people even have a sort of public statement on their profile telling bands they will be ignored. Man that's weird to me. Continue reading The underground metal scene will probably stay that way…
There's just too many things
Yup, I did that thing where I get into too many things at once, buy a bunch of shit and then have no time to even open some of it. This sucks! Why can't there be 50 hours in a day? I really need that "no sleep" pill to be invented already. All this crap and no time to use half of it. This is stupid. Or is it? No, it most certainly is, I'm just trying to throw some fake positive spin on it. Continue reading There's just too many things
I listened to a lot of songs today… for once!
So, I sometimes neglect music. I'm either busy, locked into some weird Joe Rogan podcast marathon, stuck in an X-Files vortex (have you seen the new HD versions of the originals? Oh man!!!), or worse in the car but have to pay attention to the GPS or something. Today… today I played the most random collection of tunes and quenched some music thirst that I've been depriving myself of for a couple weeks (in Roger terms that might be a month or two)… Continue reading I listened to a lot of songs today… for once!

That Alabama scores "non-offensive touchdowns" – meaning touchdowns scored by the defense and special teams – is not news, and yet it is one of the most newsworthy stories in college football.
Alabama is now 5-0 on the season and ranked first in the nation, and one reason for that success is that the Crimson Tide has benefited from seven non-offensive touchdowns in those five games, at least one in each game. Alabama leads the nation in the category.
In Nick Saban's coaching career at Bama, which is almost halfway into his 10th year in Tuscaloosa, Tide teams have now scored 53 non-offensive TDs.
If one had to guess which starting Alabama player not on offense would be most unlikely to score a touchdown, there are a few that would be easy guesses. One would be placekicker Adam Griffith. He may lead the team in scoring, but Griffith is not likely to score a touchdown.
And if one didn't know better, it's reasonable to suggest "Mr. Unlikely" would be 6-2, 319-pound sophomore nose tackle DaRon Payne. But a key play in Alabama's 48-43 comeback victory over Ole Miss in Oxford this year was Payne's fumble recovery and score that brought Bama back from a 24-3 deficit to a 24-24 tie.
That was one of two fumble recoveries that resulted in Alabama touchdowns, and they couldn't have been less similar, though scored by men of similar size. The last Tide touchdown of that game was scored by Payne's defensive line teammate, Jonathan Allen (6-3, 291). Allen picked off a ball that was ruled an interception – later changed to a fumble recovery – and took it 75 yards to the end zone.
Payne's trip was less than 75 inches. Longer than the two inches his teammates chide, but nevertheless a goalline recovery of a fumble caused by Ryan Anderson. It was only the length of Payne's arm to get it into the end zone.
Payne was a top reserve on the Bama defensive line in the 2015 national championship season, and was named Freshman All-America with 13 tackles, a sack, and a forced fumble. His first start last year came against Arkanas, this week's foe for Alabama in Fayetteville.
Payne, who played at Shades Valley High School in suburban Birmingham, wouldn't take anything for the touchdown he scored, but he pays a price almost every day…from his teammates.
That price is the good-natured joking from the likes of Ryan Anderson.
"He's always joking and getting on my nerves most of the time," said Payne. "He's just joking, but I'm not going to let him live down this touchdown until he gets one. Everytime he talks about me getting off the field (Payne is not a sprinter), I say something about the touchdown."
Payne admits that his teammates are probably tired of hearing about his touchdown, "But they're going to have to hear it, though."
Anderson – who, ironically, caused the fumble that Payne put in the end zone for the TD – calls it "a two-inch touchdown return."
"He's just hating," Payne said. "I joke with Ryan like he can't talk about me until he gets a touchdown, and he almost had one in the Kentucky game."
While Payne jokes about his one-up on most of his teammates, he's serious about the issue of getting turnovers. "That's a real big part of our defense," he said. "The coaches preach that every day in practice. Rip the ball out. Strip the ball out. Scoop and score when you see the ball."
Scoop and score?
"Just get the ball, period," he said. "You don't have to scoop and score; just get possession. During practice I usually try to scoop and score."
Last year Payne had one of his best games in his start against Arkansas. He had three tackles, but his primary job is to clog up the middle, and he was part of a Bama defense that held the Razorbacks to just 44 yards rushing.
As for what he expects Saturday, Payne said, "We don't really face that many downhill running teams, but Arkansas is going to be our first test. I'm really excited to see what our D-line can do and our defense as a whole."
Alabama's streak of scoring non-offensive touchdowns is at seven, going back to the College Football Playoff semifinal game against Michigan State. The Tide has scored 17 non-offensive TDs in its last 16 games, going back to the 2015 game at Georgia.
And as for those non-offensive touchdowns this year, Ronnie Harrison joined Payne and Allen with fumble returns for TDs when Harrison went 55 yards with a pickup last week in Bama's win over Kentucky. Eddie Jackson had a punt return for a touchdown in the win over Ole Miss, and Xavian Marks had a punt return for a TD against Kent State. Marlon Humphrey returned an interception for a touchdown against Southern Cal, and Jackson had a TD interception return against Western Kentucky.

According to Starke County Clerk Evelyn Skronski, the Election Board has been looking at a number of ways to reduce the expense of elections per voter. Skronski says that the May Primary was relatively expensive in terms of cost per voter in some precincts, such as Center 3, where the cost per voter came out to $10.79. This was the highest average cost per voter for any Starke County precinct, but Skronski says other townships with a higher voter turnout were significantly less expensive per voter, such as Oregon 1, where the average cost came out to $2.32 per voter.
Skronski says that some methods that were discussed to reduce the cost per precinct included reducing the number of poll workers in precincts with less than 700 registered voters. She says they could cut down on the cost by eliminating the presence of a sheriff at those locations, but the salaries of the poll workers would have to be increased because of their additional duties. Oregon 3, Jackson, and Center 6 precincts would be affected by the resolution.
Another idea was to combine precinct voting locations as they did with Center Township precincts 1, 2, 3, and 4. Combining those precincts reduced the cost significantly, from $7.11 per voter to $4.52, and Skronski estimates that they could save $1000 per election by combining Washington Township precincts 1 and 2 with Wayne Township precincts 1 and 2.
Skronski says the board is currently working on a resolution for these changes.

A Very Late Review: Ernesto by Umberto Saba
This is a quite remarkable book. Usually billed as an unfinished novel, the novella-length story is divided up into five chapters headed first, second, third... 'episode'. Each episode is a little piece of Ernesto's life. Ernesto is sixteen and a couple of the episodes deal with his relationship with an older man, in his late twenties, and so the book has become a part of the gay 'canon' and deservedly so. But for all its brevity and simplicity it is actually a complex and multi-layered masterpiece which is just as much concerned with Ernesto's first sexual experiences with a woman as with a man. The relationship with the older man (only ever referred to as 'the man') is not by any means the most important in the story which examines just as closely and intensely Ernesto's relationships with his mother and extended family, with his boss at work in the flour mill and even with his former nanny.
As you read, you soon begin to realise that you can't consider Ernesto without considering Saba himself. The story is set in the 1890s, the time of Saba's own adolescence: it was written in the 1950s but Saba knew it would be unpublishable in his lifetime, which indeed proved to be true: it was finally published for the first time in the 1970s. It is certainly a piece of confessional writing and the occasional references in the narrator's voice to the fact this story may never be read by anyone heighten that sense that the reader is being let into a secret. It is not a conventional piece of autobiography for many of the things that happen to Ernesto did not, as far as we know, happen to Saba: and yet some certainly did. It is not a coded roman a clef in the traditional sense where we are to read off the characters against the real people in Saba's life. Instead I would suggest that Ernesto is actually Saba's alter ego, another self: both real and fantasised. This is an idea reinforced in the Paladin paperback edition by the translator's inclusion of a letter Saba wrote in response to an admiring and perceptive letter he received from a University professor in 1932, after Saba had abandoned the idea of finishing the novel. The letter is dated 1899 and is from Ernesto who refers all the way through to Saba in the third person. The letter carries on Ernesto's story after the end of the last 'episode' and so, in a peculiar way, becomes a part of the novel.
Above all, the thing which makes the episodes that Saba did write so powerful and striking is the character of Ernesto himself. Part wish-fulfilment, part autobiography, Ernesto is not, as in many coming-of-age stories and films, a stock character, he is not a cipher for a troubled adolescent. He is not, in fact, really very troubled at all. The reason Ernesto stays with you after reading is that he is a real person: contradictory, odd, sometimes lovable, sometimes irritating, capricious, he is written without any sentiment and with, at times, a shocking candour. The author makes a lot of the fact that one of Ernesto's personality traits is that he says exactly what he thinks, openly and sometimes at the expense of the composure of the people around him: it is no accident that the narrative has exactly the same quality. Saba's great gift is his psychological realism. He is able to present, in the simplest terms, a whole raft of interconnected and complex emotional currents between people without overburdening his language or his reader. The relationship between Ernesto and his mother is couched, at various points, in terms of hatred, and also of great tenderness, without either seeming to contradict the other. Despite the fact that the story describes only a very few, very simple elements of Ernesto's life, the intensity is kept at fever pitch within the simplest of styles.
Without giving away the ending that this unfinished novel doesn't have, it is also worth noting that unlike nearly every gay-themed piece of writing of the early twentieth century, the central character does not in this instance end up dead at his own hand or someone else's: that by itself would make this a piece of gay fiction worth reading.

Homeowner's insurance protects more than just your home. A comprehensive policy protects your home and your assets and offers liability protection for you and your family. Where you live will largely determine your insurance costs; however, there are other factors that can help reduce the costs. To ensure you get the right plan for your needs at the right price, plan ahead.
Coverage for Your Home
Your home is probably the biggest investment you will ever make. Be sure your homeowner's insurance covers it in its entirety. Homeowner's insurance does not cover flood or earthquake damage. If you live in a high-risk area, consider purchasing separate insurance. A typical homeowner's policy, which is based on a form HO-3, will protect from damage from fire, hail, explosion, riot, aircraft, vehicles, smoke, falling objects, snow, sleet, wind and theft. Make sure to purchase a guaranteed replacement cost policy, which offers more protection for your assets and home than an actual cash value policy. For example, if your home is destroyed and your policy is for $100,000 but your home costs $125,000 to rebuild, without the guaranteed replacement coverage you would be required to pay the additional $25,000.
Coverage for Your Assets
Homeowner's insurance also covers your personal belongings. In a typical policy, the insurance company may allow up to 40 percent of the total policy to account for your personal assets. There may be a max amount, such as $2,000, of what the insurance company will pay per item. Make sure you have adequate protection for high dollar items, such as collectibles, electronics, jewelry, fur coats or expensive clothing. The insurance company may require an appraisal. Take pictures or videos of your home and keep records of your home inventory. Your policy may also cover landscaping. If the amount of your assets decreases over time, be sure to adjust your policy so you aren't paying more for items that have lost their value.
A standard homeowner's insurance policy may include about $100,000 in liability insurance. Liability protects you and your family in the event that your neighbor hurts herself in your home, or your dog destroys your neighbor's yard. Owning pets, a swimming pool or a home-based business may put you at a higher risk for lawsuits. Consider purchasing more liability.
Reducing Your Premium
Homes located near a fire hydrant or fire station may nab better insurance rates. In addition, having a smoke alarm, security system, fire retardant roofing and deadbolt locks in your home may further reduce your premium. Increasing your deductible from $500 to $1,000 will lower your premium. You may be able to further reduce your premium by purchasing your auto and homeowners insurance policy from one company.

The Casare of Ephelia was a city-state ruled by the Hawk tribe between 64 BCE and 411 AD. The country was in Scotland centered around what the Hawk tribesmen believed to be the Oracle of Ephelos.
The Foundation
Following the King Grios War, the Hawk tribe of the Sicans headed north. By 75 BCE, the Hawks were in Britain, searching for a home. Both Romans and local tribes would constantly attack them, but the Hawks finally found a place to settle in 64 BCE. It was at a site on a hill around what appeared to be the Oracle of Ephelos, a holy place in Sican mythology. The Hawks built a city and named it Ephelia. The chief of the Hawk tribe assumed the title of casarche.
First Wave of Expansion
By 84 AD, Ephelia had a large population and a flourishing economy based off of the Oracle of Ephelos. The casarche at the time decided expansion was necessary to further the prosperity of his people. That year, a force of some 50,000 Ephelian troops began an invasion of Scottish clans. It was a greatly successful campaign, and the slaves they captured provided a huge source of income, as well as the land they conquered provided needed room for the Ephelians to grow.
From 218-237 AD, the Ephelians invaded Roman Brittania and northern Gaul. However, the land was not properly defended and the Romans slowly regained it throughout the next 50 years.
Second Wave of Expansion
After almost two centuries of internal development, the Ephelians took another shot at conquest. They began attacking the various states and post-Roman cities of England. By 411 AD, all of Great Britain was under Ephelian control, and the Casare of Ephelia was dissolved-the Ephelian Empire was created.

The 81-year-old and winner of four Daytime Emmy Awards was doing the AMA to promote his new documentary, I Am Big Bird: The Caroll Spinney Story.
While Spinney got a share of incredible inquiries that are sure to bring you back to days of singing along the alphabet, the most notable one was asked by Reddit user man_mayo:
"What has been your most meaningful interaction with a child during filming? Or maybe from someone who grew up watching you and relayed a poignant story?"
And Big Bird responded with this tale sure to bring you to tears:
Okay, here's one.
This is a very sad story, but it's real.
I got a letter from a fan who said his little boy, who was 5 years old, his name was Joey, he was dying of cancer.
And he was so ill, the little boy knew he was dying.
So the man, in his letter, asked if I would call the little boy. He said the only thing that cheered him at all in his fading state was to see Big Bird on television.
So once in a while, he wouldn't see Big Bird on some days, because he wasn't necessarily in every show. So he asked could I telephone him, and talk to the boy, tell him what a good boy he's been.
So I took a while to look up a phone, because this was before cell phones. And they got a long cord to bring a phone to the boy.
And I had Big Bird say "Hello! Hello Joey! It's me, Big Bird!"
So he said "Is it really you, Big Bird?"
"Yes, it is."
I chatted a while with him, about ten minutes, and he said "I'm glad you're my friend Big Bird."
And I said "I'd better let you go now."
He said "Thank you for calling me Big Bird. You're my friend. You make me happy."
And it turns out that his father and mother were sitting with him when the phone call came. And he was very, very ill that day. And they called the parents in, because they weren't sure how long he'd last.
And so his father wrote to me right away, and said "Thank you, thank you" - he hadn't seen him smile since October, and this was in March - and when the phone was hung up, he said "Big Bird called me! He's my friend."
And he closed his eyes. And he passed away.
And I could see that what I say to children can be very important.
And he said "We haven't seen our little boy smile in MONTHS. He smiled, as he passed away. It was a gift to us. Thank you."

text: Project Description We executed this contemporary Colorado mountain home as an architect-led design/build project on one of historic Gold Hill's original homesteads. We wove history as a re-occuring thread throughout the project. Gunung Mas means "Gold Hill" in Indonesian and was named so for the family's long history of travels in that country. The wrought iron gate suspended in a giant wood frame by the entry was a souvenir from one of those trips. We incorporated this idea of framing views into several aspects of the project. The original homestead had a series of western ranch log gates as party of the arrival sequence. We continued that onto and into the house. The house extends into the landscape through a series of wooden frames and ultimately dissolves in the site. We carefully designed the house to maximize the sweeping views of the mountain meadows and the Indian Peaks mountain range (South and West), while simultaneously optimizing passive solar design (South). The open floor plan brings natural light and passive cooling into every part of the house; the vaulted ceilings create an airy, sunny feeling. Every room opens to generous patios and decks to facilitate easy indoor/outdoor living. White Oak floors, granite counters and local flagstone finishes lend a warm modern texture to the home. The house is at 9000 ft elevation and is subject to 130 mph winds, regular blizzards and extremely harsh sun. We designed it to be exceptionally robust, with the intention that the home will last as a family heirloom. The homeowners had intended the house as a seasonal family retreat, but after seeing the house finished, they decided to move cross country and relocate permanently to Gunung Mas. "We absolutely love the house. We love how our family's history was woven into the new home and how the house feels 100% a part of the land. We feel like we're outside all the time. It's built so solidly that we barely hear the wind even when it's raging outside. And it was a great bonus that we have almost no energy bills." - Doug and Toni Shaller, Owners

The Max Vaz in this story is not the Max Vaz tribute i created. i just enjoy the name so i used it here too :)
The story will follow a young 12 year old boy Max Vaz and his sister Molly, who will try to complete an impossible task. Getting them selves into and out of the arena with their friend Vince to save his mom.
Chapter 1
"Everyone line up". A voice boomed out of the megaphone. It was a Peacekeepers voice. Alan Mitchell, the leader of the Peacekeepers of this part of District 11. "I don't have all day weaklings; hurry up so I can go eat. He put emphasis on the word 'Eat'. He knows 95 percent of the citizens of district 11 are poor, but he isn't since he's a Peacekeeper. I line up, 57th in line out of 248 people. 172 of them are hungry and 39 of them are scared. 27 are a mix of both. I know this because I can pay attention, and I can read emotions well. I have this strange obsession with numbers, and im great with calculating numbers to figure out anything I need. If you think about it, the whole world is nothing but numbers. I could win the games with numbers. "Here child," Alan hands me two gold dollars. "Now leave my sight and starve quietly" I give a low growl and look around. 124 of these people are angry. Anger leads to harsh endings, which leads to pain. If their werent 4 other Peacekeepers around I would strike and so would the other 124 people, but they have guns. and those who aren't killed will be punished. "….thank you sir". I look towards the direction of the watermelon patch. Maybe Molly will be off work, we need to go shopping before the reaping. I start to leave the apple orchard but Alan's son Rich comes over. "Hey dirt-weed how's it going?" I roll my eyes and keep walking "Leave me alone Rich". He picks up the pace trying to catch up to me "what are you gonna do, tell your sissy". I start to walk faster "IM TALKING TO YOU, SO YOU LISTEN" I start to sprint towards the watermelon patch. "MOLLY….WHERE ARE YOU MOLLY" I don't see her. I start to scream again but my glasses fall off my face and fall to the ground. I go to pick them up but I can't see two inches in front of me without them. Crunch. Not again. We can't afford to buy another pair of glasses for me. I hear Rich laughing then he pushes me to the ground. "Looks like the baby broke his glasses." he grabs an apple off the nearest tree, takes a bite out of it, then leans over me and uses one arm to hold me to the ground. I hear the familiar sound of an apple being picked "The punishment of eating the Capitols food is 20 public whippings" he laughs and chunks of red apple fall on my face. "for you maybe, but my dad is the head Peacekeeper for this orchard" I try to wiggle out of his grasp but fail "MOLLY, I NEE--" Rich puts his hand over my mouth before I can finish. "She isn't coming to save you this time" I wiggle around more trying to break free but he has an iron grip. "stop squirming you little twerp" I hear footsteps. They are getting louder. Fifteen paces to the left, eleven paces, ten, nine. "who's there?" Rich yells in a panicked voice. "who is it"? A male figure steps out of the bushes. He doesn't look familiar to me, but that could be just because I can't see, but I could tell by the fact that Rich let go of me that Rich knew him, and that he was scared of him. "Son, what are you doing to this lad" Rich takes his time to reply "Nothing father". It must be Alan. "Come on son, let's go. You have a big day tomorrow". Rich replies in a gloomy tone "Yes father". I hear more footsteps, coming from the direction of the watermelon patch. Could it be Molly? The footsteps get closer "max…max where are you". It's Molly; I hear her soft voice and her familiar walking pattern thump drag thump drag. Her left leg has a small limp from a childhood injury. "MAX, WHE--oh thank god I found you" she looks in my palm and sees my smashed glasses "I see you broke your glasses again. Max you know we can't afford another pair". "I know, how much did you get paid today". "Diane gave us all a few extra dollars because of the reaping tomorrow" "how much more?" I say with new found joy. "Not enough for a new pair of glasses" she says with a smile. "Come on. Let's go see if Edna has any on sale" she extends her arm out to pick me up off the ground, and I accept her hand gratefully. "Can we stop by the strawberry fields on the way home?" I ask. "I guess, I don't know why you like it though. It just makes me hungry"
Chapter 2
The market was busy as usual being the Thursday before the reaping. The first thing we did was meet in the Square to catch up with Vince, our childhood friend. Vince had his sleeves pulled up to his elbows and his cap low over his face. "you look paranoid Vince, what's wrong" I ask. "my…my mom. She…she" Vince sheds a tear. "She was just diagnosed with cancer and has two months to live." Vince sits on the bench and rests his elbows on his knees. "I'm just so terrified about the Quarter Quell, especially since we are at an all time low of eligible tributes" I sit down next to Vince and put my arm on his shoulder. "its ok Vince just look at the bright side, if you don't get picked this year you wont have to enter next year since your 18". Vince looks up at me "yes, but I need to win these games, its my only chance of having my mom cured. Remember the newscast last week? The capitol found a cure for it but its only given to people in the capitol. If I win I can demand for her to be cured!" he looks at a crack in the sidewalk and takes a long pause "plus I have been working extra hard this year in the orchards and I have gotten a lot stronger. I think I might have a chance." molly looks at him disgusted "What are you gonna do? Volunteer? No one has volunteered for district 11 since the 80th hunger games and remember what happened to him? He was killed before the games even started by the mines. And before that in the 69th hunger games when a girl volunteered she was struck by lightning in the chariot ride. And we will never forget the 61st games. That was terrible. Plus the 52nd the 48th and the 32nd games. every time someone from District 11 volunteers something terrible happens before they even get in the arena". Vince gets on his feet quickly "do you not think i know that!? i know about the stupid curse but that is the only way my mom will survive" he screams. Molly gets in Vince's face "for all we know we might not even be able to volunteer. it's a Quarter Quell and no one knows what could happen" she screams Vince groans "Lets just get this shopping over with, they announce the Quell in an hour" After we stopped by Edna's shop, the cloth shop, and the bakery we started our way home. Molly was holding the red cloth we bought for our mom, and Vince was holding a cup of salt and a cup of pepper, and I have a pair of slightly used glasses resting on my nose. They have a scratch on the left lens which makes it hard to see out of my left eye, but at least they aren't crushed. Vince opens his mouth to speak but stops himself. He looks out in the distance then tries to talk again "I'm sorry I snapped at you Molly. I'm just so angry." "well who are you angry at Vince?" I say "I…I guess I'm angry at myself." he pauses "I don't know why I'm angry, I just am. And it makes me more angry because I don't know why I am angry" Molly speaks in a soothing tone "its ok Vince. If I was in your position I would be mad to" We walk for about 10 more minutes until we see a big crowd of people all looking in the same direction. Most of them look sad, and others look angry. "I wonder what's going on" Vince asks. I look at my watch. 5:45 PM. "Its not the Quell announcement, That's not for another fifteen minutes" we try to push our way through the crowd, which is like pushing down a brick wall. After 2 minutes of stepping on toes and pushing down citizens on accident we finally make it to the front of the crowd. Hanging on the whipping stand is a boy barely conscience with his eyes in the back of his head. The familiar buff arms I see everyday from constant pushing, and the big hands hanging helplessly from the loops in the ropes balled in a fist. His head hanging low and rolling weakly on his shoulders. I can hear the crack from the whip hit the boys back and hear a weak whimper. Almost instantly I figure out the boy on the whipping stand is Rich and the peacekeeper is not Alan, but a man in his mid thirties. On his shirt is a badge with an apple tree with angle wings sprouting from its trunk. The badge signifying the Head Peacekeeper.
Chapter 3
"Thats Rich" I say with conflicted emotions. "I can see that Max" Molly says quickly "I'm more concerned about the badge on the peacekeepers uniform. isn't Alan the head Peacekeeper? Rich's dad?" Vince studies the whipping stand. "the stand looks new. Maybe they made some changes in control?" The whip hits Rich. I flinch at the sound of leather hitting flesh "Now that I think about it, Alan wasn't wearing the pin earlier today. He seemed sad to" I say. "but still" Molly says "what could he have done in the past hour to make him get publicly whipped?" I think back to earlier today when Rich pushed me to the ground. "well, before you found me Rich ate one of the apples." We watched him be whipped for another minute before they stopped and the new peacekeeper instructed us to all go home and turn on our televisions. The walk from the whipping stand home is a short one, maybe 5 minutes. There we part ways with Vince long enough for him to bring his spices home to his mother. When we walk inside our mom is sitting on the couch with the television already tuned into the only channel we have, the only channel all of Panem has. Capitol TV. Where the capitol gives us updates on what's going on across Panem and also so we can watch mandatory events. Like the Hunger games. Today we all have to watch the announcement from President Gage regarding the Quarter Quell. "Hey guys, how was work?" my mom says. "fine" I answer "we picked you up that red cloth you asked for". Molly pulled it out of her coat pocket and handed it to her. "is it enough to fix my dress for tomorrow?" Molly asks "it should dear, come sit down. The announcement is about to come on." Sure enough, as soon as we sat down President Gage appeared on our screen. I take a deep breath. Of course I'm worried, who isn't? this is the 100th Hunger Games so its gonna be big. "Hello citizens of Panem" President Gage says "as you all know the Reapings for the 100th Hunger Games is tomorrow, and children from all districts will be sent to the capitol to compete in the annul Hunger Games. Every twenty-five years a Quarter Quell comes upon us, which means a marvelous twist that was written after the first rebellion one hundred years ago. In this box beside me there is a piece of paper with the twist written on it" he points to a small black box with gold stripes, and one the number one hundred right above the locket. President Gage puts a small key into the locket and twists it. He reaches in and grabs a small piece of paper folded multiple times. He starts to unfold it. One, two, three folds. I take another deep breath. Within seconds my death could be announced to the world. Four folds, five. President Gage begins to read it out loud "On the 100th anniversary, to remind the rebels that we will, again, stop a rebellion. We will mix the past three Quarter Quells together. For the twenty-fifth anniversary the citizens voted for the tributes. For the fiftieth anniversary each District had to send twice as many tributes into the arena. And for the seventy-fifth anniversary the tributes were chosen from the existing pool of victors. So for the one hundred anniversary two tributes will be picked. One male and one female. Then three more people will be chosen at random, one of them being a past victor. And they will be voted on, the two out of the three with the most votes will be sent to the capitol to prepare them selves for the hunger games, along with the one male and one female chosen. And to add something special, because this is the one hundredth Hunger Games, for the first time ever, four people from the same district can win." he puts the paper down and looks directly in the camera "good luck in the Reapings tomorrow. Now may the odds be ever in your favor"

Booked this room through Priceline at the last minute when we were about 20 miles out from Christiansburg. We did the name your own price option and got the room for about 50% less than advertised. The accommodations were nice. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were spacious. Breakfast was yummy and we felt very safe there. Not a bad place to stay for the discounted rate, but I wouldn't necessarily pay the advertised price online which was over $100.
