At one point in my late 20s, I found myself on the street - homeless. I suffer with Post Truamatic Stress Disorder and still the bouts of depression, making keeping a job difficult at times. After looking at my life over the last two decades I understand somethings about suicide and life. One of the fears...you may actually try it again. Every failed attempt supposedly raises odds of future attempts by 40x. I broke a sacred trust when I pulled the trigger.
My own brain wouldn't trust me. I think when I was battling to stay alive, *if* I lived...never again. My brain built a safe vale type switch inside of me. It always monitors my life. When my life started to get overwhelmed it shuts down.
The season when I was homeless...my wife had just had an affair. I was working fulltime and going to college full time. I was devestated by the affair, unable to sleep, concentrate and worried I may turn to my drug of choice, suicide. I didn it once before, and I had desentyzed myself to the fear of it. So I started yanking irons out of the fire. Quit college, quit work, everything.
I paid a price for it. I slept for two years. I worked as a bouncer at night and slept during the day but I was alive. LIfe got better. I picked up the pieces and started over.
This year, I lost my job due to the economy. My family and I are struggling but I continue to count blessings. Take one day at a time and tell the beast I fought...life is worth living. If I have to live under a bridge, so be it. I'll never give up. I'll never quit again. On Friday, one of my friends called me up and asked if I wanted to work with him. I have a job waiting for me in Feb. My wife and I downsized our home to save in housing cost, life always does get better. No storm rages forever. They always have a beginning, middle and an end.
After the round went off...that voice whispered in my ear, "Name a reason to live..." I frantically thought ove my sixteen years of life and heard and felt a wrinkle in time. I heard the sound of a child playing/laughing....I said, "I want to be a dad..." It said, "That's a good reason, crawl now!" When I was homeless and the beast came kicking at my feet and it said, "What's the use of going on?" I remembered back to that day in the woods and told it, "I have a reason to live...get away from me."

Corp Express fights Staples bid with French buy
Wed May 2008 PARIS/AMSTERDAM, – Dutch office supplier Corporate Express is seeking to buy French rival Lyreco for 1.4 billion euros ($2.2 billion) in cash and equity, as it fends off a hostile bid from U.S. rival Staples Inc.Including a vendor loan to Lyreco, the deal's enterprise value is 1.73 billion euros, the companies said in a statement.Corporate Express is paying Lyreco shareholders with 102.5 million of newly issued shares or 29.9 percent of its total outstanding capital, as well as 560 million euros in cash.
Corporate Express shares fell almost 9 percent and traded down 4.4 percent to 7.75 euros by 0837 GMT."There is a risk that Staples will withdraw its offer of 8 euros per share, pushing shares down," said Theodoor Gilissen analyst Johan van den Hooven, adding that there was still a chance that Staples might raise its offer to lure investors.The Lyreco deal, of which Reuters had earlier on Wednesday obtained details, would make Corporate Express less sensitive to the U.S. economy, where it has seen shrinking sales in 2007 and rival Office Depot has warned of weakening economic conditions.The combined company would better weather weaker economic conditions and demand, said Lyreco Chief Executive Eric Bigeard. "Volume and size helps in this business," he told reporters.
Staples formally launched its 1.5 billion euro unsolicited bid for Corporate Express on Monday, which the company rejected as too low. Investors can tender their shares until June 27.Corporate Express said it would seek shareholders' approval for the deal at an extraordinary meeting in the second half of June, making it likely that shareholders will have to choose between selling to Staples or approving the Lyreco merger.Analysts said the Lyreco deal would benefit Corporate Express but interpreted it as a defensive move to fend of Staples' bid.At the same time, they said it was difficult to guess how shareholders would choose between a certain cash bid and uncertain growth prospects.They added that the deal was not cheap, since Corporate Express was valuing Lyreco at about 10 ten times operating profit, while the rest of the industry trades at around 7.5."It remains to be seen whether it will get shareholders approval for the deal," said Fortis analyst Maarten Bakker. "I have doubts about this."
The deal will create Europe's biggest supplier of office products to businesses with 7.8 billion euros in combined sales, the companies said.Lyreco's Bigeard will become CEO of the combined group, while Corporate Express CEO Peter Ventress will become Chief Operating Officer.The deal will add to earnings from 2009, and Corporate Express lifted its guidance for 2008, to combined sales of between 8 billion and 8.2 billion euros. Staples had 2007 sales of $19.4 billion.Corporate Express's Ventress said that talks on the deal began in early 2008 and that the company "absolutely would have done the deal without the Staples bid"."The two companies have spoken on many occasions in the past few years," Ventress told reporters on a conference call.Lyreco's board and its shareholders supported the acquisition and the combined group.Corporate Express reiterated on Monday that Staples' offer at 8 euros per share was too low and Staples said it launched an offer because the Dutch firm was unwilling to negotiate.

Payment Gateways allow e-commerce applications such as ecommerce & shopping cart websites the ability accept payments. A payment gateway is the equivalent of a physical chip and pin terminal you find in most retail stores.
Payment gateways that you may already be familiar with are PayPal, Google Checkout and Sage Pay, however there are many more providers of payment gateways such as CardSave, Worldpay to just name a few.
The payment gateways main task is to protect card details by way of encryption of sensitive information such as the long card number and security code to ensure safe passage between the customer and the gateway and then from the payment gateway to the merchant and payment processor. PayPal and Google Checkout both have built in Payment Gateway, Processor and merchant account as an all in one package. Companies similar to CardSave provide a payment gateway and merchant account separately, therefore if you prefer you may obtain merchant services from your bank and arrange for a payment gateway separately.
We work with PayPal, Google Checkout and CardSave, although if you prefer to go with another provider we can easily assist you in implementing your chosen gateway provider's service in to your ecommerce web site.

The Treatment Process
The individuals who need rehab for alcohol and drug abuse the most are often the last ones to control it. Drug and alcohol interventions gather friends and loved ones to impress upon the user the need to change, and for rehab.
Detox Services
Before recovery can get underway, the system must be cleared. This is called detoxification. The majority of narcotics will leave the user with unpleasant side effects or withdrawal symptoms once the body has become accustomed to the drug. Professional detoxification can diminish the symptoms for anyone seeking to start fresh.
Residential Rehabilitation Centers
An inpatient drug abuse rehab center provides safe, comforting treatment in a nurturing environment. When users opt for in-home, outpatient treatment, it's often because they think it will be easier, allowing them to get clean at their own pace. Part of what makes Vineyard Haven residential rehabs so appealing, though, is the chance it offers to break away from people and places that contributed to the addiction.
Addiction Therapy after Inpatient Substance Abuse Rehab
When inpatient treatment for drug abuse ends, you may feel like you need more counseling. It's crucial to have a solid support group if you are to get sober. A continuing course of addiction therapy allows you to go at your own pace. You'll get the benefits of meetings and individualized counseling for as long as you wish.

Resumo: In Trás-os-Montes region (Portugal), the small shrub (Pterospartum tridentatum), the narrow-leafed ash (Fraxinus angustifolia), and the apple mint (Mentha suaveolens) are vegetable species used in the preparation of infusions for medicinal purposes, such as protection against diabetes, hypertension, high levels of cholesterol and uric acid [1]. These infusions contain several types of polysaccharides, such as pectic polysaccharides and galactomannans (GM´s), often reported as immunomodulators [2, 3]. Pectic polysaccharides are structurally complex polymers, exhibiting different polymeric building blocks: homogalacturonans (HG), type I rhamnogalacturonans (RG-I), type II rhamnogalacturonans (RG-II) and xylogalacturonans (XG) [4]. The backbone of RG-I can be partly substituted with, among others, type-II arabinogalactans (AG-I ) that form ramified regions responsible for the modulation of the immune response [2]. For GM´s, factors like chain length, degree of branching and degree of acetylation seem to influence their immunomodulating activity [3]. 2013-01-01T00:00:00Z Investigação e desenvolvimento nos países de língua portuguesa: pode a cooperação mover montanhas? http://hdl.handle.net/10198/10639 Título: Investigação e desenvolvimento nos países de língua portuguesa: pode a cooperação mover montanhas?

Resumo: Medicinal plants are largely explored source of drug repository. Although a huge number of antibiotics are available for treatment of microbial infections, development of resistance mechanism against antibiotics is nowadays a major health concern. Therefore the needs of discover new antimicrobial compounds with high safety index is always recurrent and medicinal plants have great potential for providing novel drug leads with novel mechanism of action. Historically, this plants have always been a source of inspiration for new drug compounds. In this context we evaluate the antimicrobial potential of various extracts (produced by a partial purification in a silica gel column) of Urtica dioica L (stinging nettle) (Urticaceae) collected from Vila Real region (Portugal), against 10 different bacteria isolates collected from clinical patients (gastrointestinal segments and respiratory tract), namely 4 Gram positive [2 Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Staphylococus aureus (MSSA), Staphylococcus saprophyticus, and Enterococcus faecalis]and 5 Gram negative[Salmonella thyphi, Echerichia coli, Klebsiela pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Proteus mirabilis]. The current study represents the investigation of antimicrobial activity of U. dioica from four fractions (Hexane, Ethyl-acetate, ethanol and water) that were prepared using sequential fractionating method by column chromatography. The antibacterial activity was assessed by disk diffusion and minimum inhibitory concentration methods. The phytochemical composition of U. dioica fractions were assessed by HPLC-UV-DAD. Our results showed that only ethanolic fractions had antibacterial activity but only in S. aureus (MRSA and MSSA), S. saprophyticus and E. faecallis isolates. Thus, only the Gram positives were affected by U.doica extracts. The inhibition zone diameter halos ranges from 0 to 23 mm and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) were6.25 mg.mL-1 for MRSA isolates and 0.78 mg.mL-1 for S. saprophyticus and E. faecalis. Our results show a direct association between the antibacterial activities and high content of phytochemicals detected in the ethanolic fractions particularly with phenolic acids (chlorogenic and ferulic acids) and flavonols (rutin, isoquercetin and quercetin isomers). Our observations suggest the importance of ethnomedicinal use of U. dioica, which could be used by the pharmaceutical industry as source of a natural antimicrobial agents and antioxidant compounds. 2013-01-01T00:00:00Z

What a fantastic set! This necklace and earrings set appears to have been made in the style of Victorian Aesthetic but I believe it to be more contemporary and hand made. The structure looks to me like Native American. It is made from sterling silver with gold stone glass cabochons. Each cabochon is surrounded by an Art Nouveau frame and lets not forget the bugs! The necklace has a fly on either side and one on each earring. The necklace and both earrings, along with all the findings, are signed 925 for sterling. The necklace measures 19 inches long with a 2 inch drop and the pierced earrings are 1 1/2" without the wire. They are in wonderful condition!

Iceland: – Iceland's volcanoes may power United Kingdom
Iceland's volcanoes may power United Kingdom
The United Kingdom government is investigating the possibility of tapping Iceland's geothermal power via an undersea cable. The 1,900km cable from Iceland would be the longest in the world. It would join a network of existing cables and others under construction to form a Europe-wide power grid that could connect to solar power plants in places like Spain and North Africa. Reuters and the Guardian reported.
Iceland could soon be pumping low-carbon electricity into the UK under government-backed plans for thousands of miles of high-voltage cables from Iceland across the ocean floor.
The energy minister of UK, Charles Hendry, is to visit Iceland in May 2012 to discuss connecting the UK to its abundant geothermal energy. "We are in active discussions with the Icelandic government and they are very keen," Hendry told the newspaper, Guardian. To reach Iceland, which sits over a mid-ocean split in the earth's crust, the cable would have to be 1,200 to 1,500km long from Iceland and by far the longest in the world.
Minister Hendry has already met the head of Iceland's national grid about the plan. The web of sea-floor cables – called interconnectors – planned for the next decade would link the UK to a Europe-wide supergrid, which is backed by the UK prime minister, David Cameron. The supergrid would combine the wind and wave power of northern Europe with solar projects such as Desertec in southern Europe and north Africa to deliver reliable, clean energy to meet climate change targets and reduce dependence on fossil fuel imports.
What will interconnectors means, between Iceland and Europe?
An interconnector would not only in Iceland enable sales of electricity generated by renewable energy resources, geothermal and hydropower sources, it would have various other benefits for the electricity system in Iceland, such as enhance the security of supply, enable more efficient use of generation capacity and facilitate a market for electricity in Iceland.
The study started in mid 2010 and ended towards the end of 2011. The study evaluates the feasibility of laying the world's longest submarine HVDC power cable and addresses potential business models, markets and congestion management.Three scenarios are being studied. Firstly an interconnector that would be used for export/import based on market prices, secondly a cable used for export only and thirdly an interconnector partly used for export/import and partly for export.
The shortest possible distance of a cable from Iceland to a landing site in Europe is about 1,170 km, almost double the length of the NorNed interconnector (Norway-Netherlands), and the maximum debt would be about 1,000 m. A cable to the continent would be around 1,900 km. The transmission capacity would probably be between 600 and 1,000 MW.
An interconnector between Iceland and neighbouring countries has been discussed for decades. Various studies have been conducted, all with the conclusion that such a project is technically viable but not economically. A desk-top study conducted together with the Icelandic TSO, Landsnet, completed in 2010 indicated that this might have changed and an interconnector might be economically viable. The main rationale behind this change are higher electricity prices in Europe and increased demand for renewable energy with no or low emission of greenhouse gases
It is estimated that it will take further four to five years to study the feasibility and technical and economical aspects of building such an interconnector in Iceland. If and when a decision has been taken in Iceland, further four to five years are needed for production and installation of the cable, construction of converter stations and other related tasks. The project could thus commence operation around 2020 from Iceland, at the earliest.
Icelanders have the advantage of being few in number: the amount of energy that can be produced in Iceland is many times greater than is needed for domestic consumption. Over the past few decades, a high-capacity energy system – that produces electricity both for general consumption and for power-intensive industry – has been constructed. The huge changes that have taken place in the European and other markets in recent years – the most important of which are the interconnection of electricity markets in Europe, subsequent price rises, and the EU's objective of increasing renewable energy's share of electricity generation at the cost of sources such as gas and oil – have created previously unimagined opportunities for Icelanders.
The UK has been energy independent for virtually its entire history. But with the North Sea's oil and gas failing and coal banned as too polluting, minister Hendry is frank about the future: "We will be dependent on imported energy". The cables "are an absolutely critical part of energy security and for low carbon energy", he said.
There are two existing international interconnectors, to France and the Netherlands, but nine more are either in construction, formal planning or undergoing feasibility studies. The next to open, in autumn 2012, will be a link between the Republic of Ireland and Wales, allowing green energy from the windswept Atlantic coast of Ireland to be delivered to British homes.
Tony Glover, at energy grid trade body the Energy Networks Association, said: "For consumers the ability to link electricity supplies from the rest of Europe is good for competition and will generally help to keep prices competitive". The interconnectors can be built commercially with operators paying for the investment by taking a cut on the electricity transferred.
Interconnectors require large investments. The Britain-Netherland interconnector, which opened in 2011 and was the first international link in 25 years, cost £500m. But Greenpeace's, Dr. Doug Parr said: "Interconnectors are the cheapest way of backing up wind, because you avoid the greater capital cost of building power stations. We will of course be buying power in when the wind is not blowing, but the interconnectors mean we can sell our wind power when it does, and we have the best wind resource in Europe".
The United Nations University in Iceland, start the Geothermal Training Programme (UNU-GTP) in 1979. The UNU-GTP was established in the shadow of the oil crisis, when nations were looking for new and renewable energy sources in order to reduce dependence on hydrocarbons, in particular oil with its rapidly escalating prices. The current situation is somewhat similar in that the international community is looking towards renewable energy sources as an alternative for the hydrocarbons in order to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases. The hallmark of the UNU-GTP is to give university graduates engaged in geothermal work intensive on-the-job training in their chosen fields of specialization. The trainees work side by side with geothermal professionals in Iceland. The aim is to assist developing countries with significant geothermal potential in building up groups of specialists that cover most aspects of geothermal exploration and development.

How a Geothermal Power Plant Works (Simple)
Most power plants—whether fueled by coal, gas, nuclear power, or geothermal energy—have one feature in common: they convert heat to electricity. Heat from the Earth, or geothermal — Geo (Earth) + thermal (heat) — energy is accessed by drilling water or steam wells in a process similar to drilling for oil.
Geothermal power plants have much in common with traditional power-generating stations. They use many of the same components, including turbines, generators, transformers, and other standard power generating equipment. While there are three types of geothermal power plants, this animation shows a generic plant.
On May 30th. 2012, the UK and Iceland signed Memorandum of Understanding that will strengthen the two countries' relationship on energy issues. In the MoU, signed by Oddný G. Harðardóttir, Minister of Energy and her counterpart Charles Hendry, the two countries pledged to:
- Exchange information on the development of the deep geothermal sector in the UK, including in the supply of heat to district heating networks;
- Explore the possibility of developing electricity interconnection between Iceland and the UK, including relevant legal and regulatory issues;
- Work with their respective Ministries for International Development on renewable energy projects in developing countries with a special focus on East Africa; and
- Exchange information regarding the development of oil and gas industries, including offshore drilling.

Cluny the Scourge is having a nightmare where Martin the Warrior's picture on the stolen tapestry comes to life and attacks him. He awakens and calls for his captain Cheesethief. Cluny tells Cheesethief to go find Sela, the healer fox. He needs her skills to fix his broken leg so he can attack Redwall Abbey again.
Inside Redwall, Brother Methuselah finds hidden writing with the phrase "I am that is" on the wall where the Tapestry hung. He and Matthias unsuccessfully try to figure out its meaning. Cornflower is playing an anagram game with the words when she accidentally finds the arrangement that makes the phrase read "I-Matthias". She then finds more writing hinting at the location of Martin's tomb, somewhere between Great Hall and Cavern Hole. Cornflower recalls an odd sound she heard when she passed through a few minutes before, and takes Matthias and Methuselah to investigate. Cornflower shows Matthias and Methuselah a step that appears to be hollow. With assistance from Foremole, the step is levered out to expose a flight of stairs leading downward to a dark tunnel.
Meanwhile, Sela and her son Chickenhound, arrive at Cluny's camp. While the two foxes prepare a healing poultice, Cluny creates a detailed plan to get into Redwall with a battering ram. Sela gives Cluny a concoction to make him sleep, but Cluny only pretends to drink it and fall asleep. Sela and Chickenhound then steal the plans from under Cluny's pillow and leave. Cluny watches them go, having anticipated their treachery. He and his horde follow them to Redwall, where the foxes give the plans to Constance, and are allowed to enter. Cluny reveals to his captains that the battering ram is a decoy and the real attack is through a tunnel.
As Cluny begins construction on his tunnel, Matthias, Cornflower, and Methuselah enter the passageway and discover a large door which leads Martin the Warrior's tomb. Inside, they find Martin's shield and sword belt. Basil Stag Hare enters and tells them that the Abbot has called a meeting.
Abbot Mortimer wants advice on what to do with the plans that Sela has given them. Matthias suggests that they try to find some evidence that Cluny is attempting to enter the Abbey by another way than the battering ram. Constance doesn't trust the fox, and suddenly realizes that she left Sela alone in Great Hall. Methuselah goes to keep an eye on her, and catches her in the act of stealing silverware and candlesticks from the table. He tries to stop her, but is injured by Chickenhound. The foxes try to escape, but Matthias sees them and sounds the alarm. While a small army of mice pursues the fugitives, Foremole comes to tell Matthias that he found vibrations that indicate tunneling.
Matthias hastily organizes a defense. When the first rat emerges from the tunnel, several mice tip the contents of a massive cauldron of hot porridge that Cornflower made for breakfast into the tunnel. Cluny's army retreats, leaving their leader screaming with the indignity of being defeated. Sela is captured by Constance, who on the advice of Basil, throws her outside for Cluny to deal with. Shortly afterward, Chickenhound suddenly jumps out of the porridge cauldron and flees through the tunnel.
Chickenhound emerges from the other end of the tunnel, and, laughing over his successful escape, sits down against a tree. When he gets up to investigate a rustling noise behind the tree, he is attacked by Asmodeus Poisonteeth.
Official Synopsis
Cluny uses the treacherous fox Sela and her son, Chickenhound, to plant a false attack plan in Redwall, while Matthias and his mousemaid friend Cornflower unravel a mysterious motto-- "I am that is." It is an anagram of "I Matthias" written years before he was born; another clue for the quest for Martin's sword. Cluny's real underground attack is inventively repulsed by hot porridge and Matthias sees the fearful snake Asmodeus for the first time and realizes that somehow their fates are horribly intertwined.
Differences from Redwall
- In the book, Cornflower did not help Matthias and Methuselah discover the riddle or the tomb.
- In the book, Methuselah dies shortly after he is beaten by Chickenhound. In the TV series, Methuselah does not die immediately, and dies a few days later in bed.
- In the TV series, both Sela and Chickenhound went into Redwall, and Sela was later thrown out of Redwall for stealing (and her son for injuring Methuselah) and killed by Cluny almost immediately. In the book, Cluny unveils their spying and has them both executed, though Chickenhound survives and drags himself to Redwall.
- In the book, Cluny only digs a tunnel towards the end of his siege, and it is foiled with boiling water instead of porridge, as it is in the episode.
- Despite what the synopsis says, Matthias never actually sees Asmodeus until the 10th episode.
- In the book, after escaping Redwall, Chickenhound encounters Asmodeus when he reaches under the roots of a tree where he stashed his stolen loot, accidentally touching the snake as he tried to feel around for the loot. In the TV series, Asmodeus fully presents himself before Chickenhound from behind the tree the young fox sat by before biting him.

The City of Alexandria in Louisiana, USA has contracted Wärtsilä to supply a gas-fired power plant for long-term supply of peaking power. The contract was signed in March 2014.
The new power plant will have an output of 60 MW from seven Wärtsilä 34SG engines running on natural gas. The project is an extension of the existing D.G. Hunter Generating Station.
"This expansion of our power plant will provide Alexandria citizens an efficient long-term power supply utilizing existing staff, facilities and partnerships," Jacques M. Roy, Mayor of Alexandria, said. "These units will have the capability of powering critical infrastructure for the City in the event of a major grid failure due to storms or other natural disasters. The project will also ensure Alexandria remains diverse in fuel sources, while increasing insulation from unexpected changes in the power supply market."

text: The Alexander Flynn wiki last edited by MisterAnderson on 10/01/13 03:38PM View full history Alexander Flynn was created by Ann Nocenti and Don Perlin in 1985 and first appeared in Beauty and the Beast # 1. A flashback shows Victor Von Doom dispatching a young child and his mother, who looks vaguely like Valeria, Von Doom's long-time "love," in a carriage. Flynn believes that Von Doom is his father, the throne of Latveria his birthright. To claim his birthright, he assumes control of the Gladiators, an underground "fight club" of mutants whom he is secretly seeding to be his army in retaking Latveria. However, through the intercession of Dazzler and the Beast, Flynn is thwarted, and Von Doom arrives on hand to address the situation.Later, Flynn appears to still be in control of the Gladiators, but this proves to be holographic projections used by the Shadow King, then inhabiting the body of the New Mutant Karma. This fiction is exposed.PowersHe has low level telepathy powerful enough to hypnotize small groups of people. He does not posses any other powers.

THIRD TIME NOT A CHARM FOR BIRES, CLOROX ANYWHERE TEAM MADISON, Ill. -- The first two times Kelly Bires drove the No. 47 Clorox Anywhere/U.S. Air Force Ford past Brad Teague during last Saturday's race at Gateway International Raceway, the...
MADISON, Ill. -- The first two times Kelly Bires drove the No. 47 Clorox Anywhere/U.S. Air Force Ford past Brad Teague during last Saturday's race at Gateway International Raceway, the lapped car gave Bires plenty of room.
The third time was different.
Bires was moving into the Top 15 during the Missouri-Illinois Dodge Dealers 250 when he was bumped by Teague in the first turn. The result was a damaged Ford Fusion -- and a 32nd-place finish. "We got tangled up getting down into Turn 1," Bires said. "It was the third time we lapped this car and he gave me plenty of room the first two times. The third time he decided to race me where I thought he was giving me room. It's very disappointing, but I have a very strong JTG Racing team and we'll rebound at (O'Reilly Raceway Park)."
Bires drew an early qualifying spot when the 1.25-mile oval was hot and slippery. That led to a 30th-place spot in the starting lineup, but the Clorox team quickly worked to the front once the main event started. "Sometimes you're only as good as the luck of the draw," crew chief Scott Zipadelli said. "We weren't happy with our qualifying effort, but most of that was the result of going out early. The car was coming to life in the race when we got caught up in that crash. You hate for things like that to happen. There's so much work that goes into making one of these cars. When you tear one up, it takes a couple weeks to get it turned back around
"It's one of the challenges every team in this sport faces every week."
Despite the crash, Bires remained 14th in the NASCAR Nationwide standings heading into the Kroger 200 at ORP. "We concentrated on our balance during practice and the car was perfect," Bires said. "It was a little loose in the race, but we were still fast enough to get to the Top 10. The car really came to me during the long runs. Unfortunately, we didn't get the chance to stay out there long enough."

As some of you can relate, I work my 50 hours a week, and have a wife and kids. This limits my play time (which I don't mind, except the work part). I had an interesting thought that I would love to see incorporated into the game.
When I'm at work, I can't actually play the game. I mean, I could if I really wanted to, but ethically, I couldn't justify it. Now what if they had it where you could log into your account and at least manage your retainer's bazaar and inventory. I think that would be a neat feature to allow me to handle a few of the more mundane tasks while I'm on break at work.
What are your thoughts on this feature? I can't image it would be all that challenging to implement (as opposed to writing a full game). Would you find use of a feature like this?

A Wonderful battle! Country girl Kellie Pickler edges Disney starlet Zendaya during Dancing With The Star's Stevie Wonder special
She's been dubbed the best dancer on the show.
And Disney starlet Zendaya and partner again wowed the judges on Stevie Wonder night on Dancing With The Stars.
However, it was country girl Kellie Pickler who ultimately came out on top thanks to a near perfect dance with Derek Hough.
Scroll down for video
Stepping up: Kellie Pickler topped the leaderboard after being egged on by Derek Hough on Dancing With The Stars on Monday night
Loving it: Music legend Stevie Wonder seemed to be enjoying the night's proceedings during his special
However, professional dancer Zendaya did reveal she is at a disadvantage, because as well as having to practice her routines the 16-year-old must also squeeze in her homework.
The teen said her teacher parents make sure she doesn't let it slip.
The two-hour ABC show featured the music of Stevie Wonder and opened with him sitting at a keyboard as he sang All I Do - before young American country music star Hunter Hayes joined him on stage and they segued into Stevie's I Ain't Gonna Stand For It.
'It's my joy. I had to be here,' said the blind singer - before making a joke about how he couldn't watch it on TV.
Disney star Zendaya, who reclaimed the top spot on the leaderboard last week with partner Val Chmerkovskiy, getting the first 10s of the season, did a sexy cha cha to Wonder's Do I Do.
'If you don't love Stevie Wonder, there's something wrong with you,' she said.
She annoyed Val in practice by not being able to master some of the techniques.
Hard taskmaster: Val disciplined Zendaya for failing to meet his high standards during practice
Paying off: But the Russian's disciplinarian style paid off as she ended up getting a near perfect score
But by the time it came to perform the teenager - the youngest competitor - had shaken off her nerves and did stunned the crowds in a shimmery black and gold dress.
'You had a standing 'O' [ovation] before you started!' said host Tom Bergeron.
'Ask me one word that sums up great dancing - Zendaya,' said Len. 'It was full of snap, crackle and pop!'
'Gobsmacking, gorgeous!' said Bruno Tonioli. 'You can cha cha me any time you want!'
Carrie Ann Inaba added: 'You blew me away. I feel sorry for everyone who has to come after you.'
Frank Bruno: Heavyweight judge Tonioli told the Disney girl her routine had been a knockout
Carrie Ann gave them 10, while Len gave them just nine. But Bruno also gave them 10 for a total of 29 points out of 30.
Funnyman Andy Dick - who almost got the boot last week - dressed up as an old-fashioned postman to perform the samba to Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours with partner Sharna Burgess.
And he vowed to turn it up to 11 in a bid to get better scores.
He opened the tongue-in-cheek routine by delivering a letter to the judges' table before cheekily smooching Sharna and pretending to slap her on the behind.
And while the crowd seemed to love it, the judges weren't so forgiving.
An arresting sight: Bad cop Andy Dick seemed to be having a great time taking Sharna Burgess to task
Silly dance: But he seemed to have second thoughts and ended up doing a Ministry of Funny Walks audition
'It was a personality driven, splendid shamble of a samba,' said Bruno.
Carrie Ann added: 'I had to look back and [see] what dance it was.'
And Len said: 'You give us fun. It wasn't that good technically.'
Andy, who had a lipstick mark on his face, gave co-host Brooke Burke Charvet a rose.
Carrie Ann, Len and Bruno all gave them six points for a total of 18.
Gentle Len: But far from acting like a bear with a sore head Goodman said he enjoyed the performance
Bachelor star Sean Lowe and partner Peta Murgatroyd - who had the best dance of their season last week - did the samba to I Wish.
'This is going to kill me,' admitted Sean, who had to miss a rehearsal day because of other commitments, leaving Peta angry and frustrated.
Both dressed in blue, they won the crowd over immediately, as Sean showed off his washboard abs with his open shirt, before Peta ripped it off to expose his whole torso.
Tom Bergeron jokingly dubbed it the 'spray-tan samba'.
'That was the most bounce I've seen in a while,' said Carrie Ann, who told him to pay more attention to the music.
The dance of Narcissus: Bachelor personality Sean Lowe seemed to love showing off his chest
Down to earth: But he was soon to be brought back to reality after being given a tongue lashing from the judges
Len drew boos when he told Sean all he wanted to do was beat Andy Dick.
'It was riddled with mistakes. You have to take your shirt off, all you guys. I don't get it.'
'The women love it!' said Carrie Ann.
Bruno added: 'Look on the bright side. You can always get a job as a stripper.'
Spanked: Head judge Len did not hold back and accused him of only endeavouring to beat Andy Dick
All three judges gave them seven points for a total of 21 points.
Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman and partner Mark Ballas slipped from the top spot last week but hoped their foxtrot to Isn't She Lovely? would propel them back in the lead.
In practice sessions, Aly, 18, who grew up about 20 miles from Boston wore several I Heart Boston T-shirts in tribute to the victims of the marathon terror attack.
'Everything that happened has really affected me,' she said as she struggled to concentrate admitting that she was supposed to have been at the race.
Pep talk: Dance pro Mark Ballas helped Aly Raisman overcome her Boston marathon bombing sadness
Hot to trot: And it paid off in style as she ended up pulling off what the judges labelled a 'foxy foxtrot'
Their old-time routine opened with the pair reading fake newspaper headlines about Stevie Wonder.
'Your bottom stuck out a little bit,' said Len. '[But] it was a real foxy foxtrot.'
'Pretty as a picture,' said Bruno.
Carrie Ann said: 'You brought out your beautiful Bostonian elegance tonight. You're heading towards perfection.'
All three judges gave them nine points each for a total of 27 points.
Praise: Carrie Ann Inaba was effusive in her praise for the Olympic gymnast's medal worthy performance
Soap star Ingo Rademacher - who was celebrating his birthday - was told to improve his technique last week to have any chance of progressing.
He hoped his tango to Uptight (Everything's Alright) with partner Kym Johnson would do that - and take out Andy Dick.
The black-clad couple were all smiles as they twirled around the floor, with Kym showing off her long, toned legs and cleavage in a revealing top.
'You can turn it on when you want to,' said Bruno.
'That was great. When you like a dance, it shows,' said Carrie Ann.
'This is hard to say. Bingo, Ingo!' said Len Goodman.
Hitting the bullseye: Ingo Rademacher finally managed to give a performance that was not painfully average
Giving him a hand: Head judge Len applauded his performance and told him it was 'bingo Ingo'
'My birthday wish is to get through to next week,' Ingo admitted.
And he might just do that, - all three judges gave them eight points each for a total of 24 points, their highest score yet on the show.
Frontrunners country star Kellie Pickler and Derek Hough wanted their quickstep to Part-Time Lover would earn them a 10.
But the pair's nerves were shot and they were seen bickering in practice - as Derek messed up for once.
The couple pretended to be mannequins as they were wheeled on to the stage before the athletic routine.
Practice makes perfect: Kellie loved the fact Derek was making some mistakes during rehearsals
Pickled legs: But they made no mistake when they were on the dance floor and received acclaim
Kellie, with long curly blonde hair, looked stunning in red and looked like she was having a great time with suit-wearing Derek.
k at my little Chia Pet,' joked Carrie Ann, referring to Kellie's voluminous hair.
'Everything about it was perfect - except there was some space.'
'For me, that's the best dance I've seen on season 16,' raved Len Goodman.
'This was sumptuous dancing,' said Bruno.
Carrie gave them nine, while Bruno gave them 10.
But it was Len's score that had them really celebrating.
'From Len, the 10,' he said.
Cheering them on: The titanic trio were overjoyed at the level of excellence the couple displayed
That gave them 29 points in total, putting them neck-and-neck with Zendaya and Val at that point.
'He has to buy me shoes now!' said Kellie, joking that they had a deal if they got a 10.
Boxer Victor Ortiz and partner Lindsay Arnold - who keep ending up in the bottom two - prayed their luck would change when they did the rumba to I Just Called to Say I Love You.
'In boxing I've never moved my hips like that,' said Victor as he tried to find his inner romantic, as he admitted he'd never danced with a woman he'd loved.
'A girl broke my heart,' he explained.
But he did a good job of trying to pretend as the couple, dressed in white, twirled about.
Float like a butterfly? Boxing champ Victor Ortiz was hoping to build on last week's strong performance
Punch drunk: But his leaden footwork and laboured moves meant he was never going to win the title
'I know dance doesn't come easy but you have that fighting spirit,' said Len.
'At times it looked a bit like an airline safety drill,' said Bruno.
Carrie Ann said his hip technique was lacking but liked the sparkle between him and Lindsay.
'There's such a real chemistry,' she said.
'I actually love Lindsay,' Victor told Brooke after the dance. 'I just said it. Uh oh.'
'Is that a confession?' she asked.
'She's been trying to get me to say it,' he said, looking flustered.
'Now it's official,' said Brooke.
In love or not, the judges each gave them six points each for a total of 18, leaving them at the bottom of the table again.
Slugging it out: Len may have landed a few low blows but he did praise the boxer's 'fighting spirit'
American football star Jacoby Jones and partner Karina Smirnoff did the quickstep to For Once in My Life.
And Jacoby, who's been criticized for his poor footwork, said he couldn't control his toes.
Their routine saw them dance into the audience, while Jacoby did the splits, before Karina, in a yellow dress, leapt into his arms, to the delight of the crowd.
'You took off like the Indy 500!' said Bruno. 'Your energy is amazing.'
'Your feet are a little funky, but you make up for it,' said Carrie.
Dancing on Smirnoff ice: NFL star Jacoby Jones once again moved well for a big man thanks to Karina's lessons
Enjoying herself: The Russian professional loves being in the grip of the wide receiver
Len Goodman said: 'This was like a Beatles medley. It started 'Please Please Me', by the end I was singing 'Help'.'
'There's Mama,' Tom Bergeron warned Len as Jacoby's mother stood up in the audience and looked at him.
'You did a good job,' Len said.
Carrie Ann and Bruno gave them eight, while Len gave them seven, for a total of 23 points.
Then it was time for the first team dances of the contest.
How much do you love Jacoby Carrie Ann again struggled to hide her infatuation with the beefcake
Team Samba - Aly and Mark, Kellie and Derek, Peta and Sean, and Andy and Sharna - took on Team Paso (Ingo and Kym, Jacoby and Karina, Victor and Lindsay and Val and Zendaya).
While Team Paso were having fun, Team Samba were struggling to decide on a routine, stressing Derek out.
By the final rehearsal, Team Paso was having problems with their choreography.
'I'm having a panic attack,' Val admitted.
Team Paso Doble did a neon bullfighting and toreador-inspired routine to Higher Ground, which saw the men go topless and charge at their female counterparts, while Jacoby did a stunning jump OVER Karina.
Tag team action: Team Paso's antics were likened to an episode of WrestleMania by Bruno
They really were funky: Jolly Jacoby and Ingo joked about their lack of deodorant after the dance
up part was pretty tight,' said Len.
'It was like watching an episode of WrestleMania,' said Bruno.
'Zendaya, you're trying to so hard to be the glue but this is a little bit broken,' said Carrie Ann. 'It was kind of a mess.'
Viewers were urged to use Twitter to pick the team winners as the men flexed their muscles from the balcony.
Carrie Ann and Bruno gave them seven points, while Len awarded them eight, for a total of 22.
Each of the couples in the team gets 22 added to their individual scores.
That's more like it: They were easily outshone by their rivals in Team Samba with their disco routine
But the party really got started when Team Samba did their 70s disco routine to Superstition, with the men donning vintage moustaches and shades and the women in matching mini-dresses and white boots as they danced under a giant mirrorball.
They looked more cohesive, and Bruno said: 'It's like a reunion of Boogie Nights. The girls killed it, so much fun.'
Carrie Ann said: 'It was really fantastic.'
'You came out and had fun. It was a pleasure,' said Bruno.
That's more like it: It was obvious who Len Goodman and his sidekicks preferred during the team dance
Carrie Ann and Bruno gave them eight while Len gave them nine for a total of 25 points, boosting everyone's individual scores.
And it gave an extra special lift to Kellie and Derek, pushing them to the top of the leaderboard ahead of rivals Val and Zendaya.
The night also saw a white-suited Wonder delightedly singing Sir Duke flanked by five young dancing beauties.
And later he sang My Cherie Amour while playing the harpejji, an electric stringed musical instrument.
'It's been so much fun,' he said.
Thanks for a Wonder-ful evening: Stevie really brought the musical standard to a Higher Ground
He just called to say he loves Dancing With The Stars: The legendary hitmaker's enthusiasm was boundless

By Lynn Elber, Associated Press
LOS ANGELES A scandal involving a New York governor and a prostitute has the makings of a classic ripped-from-the-headlines plot for NBC's Law & Order.
But Wednesday's season finale about a governor and a call girl isn't about Eliot Spitzer, cautions series star Sam Waterston — although it's fair to say anyone, even Waterston, could get a bit confused.
Asked recently if the show was dramatizing Spitzer's story, the actor replied, "That's what we're shooting right now." Then he quickly offered a clarification.
"I shouldn't say we're doing the Eliot Spitzer story. I should say we're doing a story about a politician who gets into trouble because of sexual questions ... involving prostitution," Waterston told The Associated Press.
The truth has always been somewhere between the edges of that fine line.
Since it started in 1990, the TV drama created by executive producer Dick Wolf has carefully echoed real-life events without explicitly citing them. The very first episode of the show, which films in New York, was about a parking violations case — after something similar had rocked the city, Wolf recalled in a recent interview.
Wednesday's episode (10 p.m. ET) is racier, as a murder investigation leads police to a prostitution ring whose clients include New York Gov. Shalvoy (Tom Everett Scott). That creates a quandary for District Attorney Jack McCoy (Waterston), whose political fortunes may be tied to Shalvoy's.
Earlier this year, Spitzer's career collapsed days after he was identified by federal authorities as Client 9 of a high-priced prostitution ring. Spitzer, who resigned from office in March, apologized without expressly acknowledging he had visited prostitutes.
Waterston says the Law & Order episode diverges sharply from what happened with Spitzer.
"It goes in all different directions," he said. "Law & Order raises questions about what's fair, what's right, what's justice, that aren't necessarily raised by the original story or ... can't be gone into in just a news story."
Anthony Anderson, new to the cast as police Detective Kevin Bernard, said the series is "current, it's real, it's true." Now that he's part of the show, he said, "I'm doing research and I'm reading these scripts (and) I'm like, wow, this is real, wow, people are crazy!"
Law & Order also stars Jeremy Sisto, S. Epatha Merkerson, Linus Roache and Alana De La Garza.
Asked about whether there was "Spitzer-izing" on the show this week, De La Garza shrugged, laughed and gave a quick eye-roll.

Hi, this is a follow-on from 'This Changes Everything' but can be viewed as a stand-alone . Please Read and Review as always x
I'm not stupid; it was always going to be difficult. Something akin to catching a comet with a butterfly net I suppose. Most of the time I was abandoned for the next legal high, settling for being the constant in Sherlock's whirlwind of a life. But when his mind stills for a second, just before the crest of another wave brakes, all that attention is directed at me and his energy bound for other activities.
"You let me in now Sherlock, do you hear me? I will charge you with something, and this time I'll make it stick"-shouted Lestrade, banging on the door of his own office and jiggling the handle again as if there were a chance it had been unlocked in the last few seconds.
Seven days previously, a very strange coincidence had knocked thrice upon our door. The first was a beautiful young woman by the name of Miss Christina Harper, the only daughter of Sir Michael Harper recently knighted for his work for charity and long standing service to the court of human rights. He had also been brutally murdered in his own Mayfair study a week ago and was reportedly due to a burglary gone wrong. Christina believed that her father had known something was about to happen to him and had given her a small key to a locked security box the day before his murder. This box had been the only thing stolen.
On the morning of his death she had received long range photos of her father handing an envelope to a man with his face obscured and another of him bending down to greet a small Latina looking child of around four years old. The police were beginning to mention his possible involvement in money laundering and drug funding.
Christina was devastated. She had never known her mother and had no other family to speak of. Her loving father had been her world but she was beginning to question his wealth, work, and even his love for her. I had been very moved by the distraught young woman and had taken her hand as she left; promising that if anyone could dig out the truth it would be the man to my right. He had given me a small smile and taken the case. The rent was due after all.
"Do you have a lot of work on Sherlock?"-Mycroft had asked an hour later, wiping a finger over the fireplace and inspecting the level of dust he found there before sitting down.
"Oh don't punish us with your presence for any longer than necessary brother. Spit it out" says Sherlock looking uncomfortable as he fiddled with the tuning on his violin.
"I need someone….. unofficial to leave the country and retrieve a security box that has… (he shuffles trying to find the right word) 'escaped' our jurisdiction. We have reason to believe that within this box lies account details that would enable us to begin collecting information on some of the most far-reaching drug rings; both here in the UK and in the States. I'm sure you'll understand that I'm not permitted to say more, but the fee is considerable."
Sherlock stills for a second and without the usual torrent of excuses he reserves for his brother, he nods.
"Why not, I'm not busy."
"Sherlock I promised that poor girl your help." I say in surprise. He cuts my words in half with a knife.
"What did I mention to you about extracting one's feelings about a case John? Have Anthea send me the details and show yourself out Mycroft."
The third player in this game of intrigue had pulled up just as Mycroft left.
"I need your help Sherlock"-said a stressed looking Lestrade. "This 'Sir Harper' thing, I'm really being leant on to find this burglar. I've had a tip off to say that there's vital information as to his involvement in some illegal activities in that box that went missing. You get me that box of evidence in a state I can run it for prints and it leads to an arrest, I'll let you have one hour in my case archive."
This of course had peaked his interest as the Inspector's office had been the one cave of treasure that was off limits to Sherlock. Although Lestrade knew the debts he owed the Detective, he also had a clear sense of his boundaries and understood the reaction his superiors would take at having a 'civilian' in on the show. But let's face it. Lestrade had nothing else to deal with.
"Always two steps behind is our Lestrade"-Sherlock had muttered once the Inspector had left.
Later that evening I watched his eyes from over the newspaper as the puzzle lay down for him. A stab of jealousy hit me as I realised this would be a case I did not get to watch unfold in its entirety and that I was going to be without Sherlock for it's coming duration. He looked like he was going to be up for the night and so I began to prepare to leave him to it in favor of an early night. I had a full week at the surgery ahead of me and it was going to be taxing, but we really did need the money. As I stretched an arm down past his shoulder to take a closer look at his papers on the desk, he paused for a second and smiled up at the closeness as if it had taken him by surprise.
"You think that this girl's case and Mycroft's 'mission' are the same?"
"Don't you? All the details suggest they are" -he says; lifting a photo out of my hand. For a second he stilled and a small smirk appearing on his face. "You thought she was pretty didn't you?"
I lean down further. "Does that bother you?" I whisper into his ear.
He contemplates my words then says a brief "Just an observation John."
I smile to myself and straighten, taking a closer look at the photo of Sir Harper handing over the apparent 'drug money'.
"I really don't get it; he doesn't seem they type of man to put his daughter in danger like that. I read his book, it was a good read. Before he became a human rights lawyer he did a load of charity work with poor kids in Mexico."
Sherlock considered this statement for a second then scrabbled around in the papers for the other photo of Sir Harper with the child. "That's exactly right. He wouldn't"-he says and almost knocks me over jumping to his feet and grabbing his coat. "Don't wait up"-he says with a grin and he's gone.
"What are we doing in here Sherlock?" I whispered pointlessly as I watch him hastily seeking something in the draws of Lestrade's desk feeling very uneasy about this whole thing. Sherlock had left for New York four days ago and in his usual mid-case style I had not seen him for two days prior to him leaving, returning to the flat only once to pick up his passport and say a hasty goodbye to me. I was quickly forgotten once I had confirmed to him that I would probably lose my job if I called in sick again. That was four days ago and I was at Scotland Yard that evening finishing off a few statements for Sally's records when he burst through the door, smiled in surprise at my presence and dragged me into Lestrade's office locking the door behind us and shutting the blinds.
"Sherlock will you answer me right now."
"Well you see, I am currently somewhat of a triple agent at present"-he almost sings, clearly enjoying himself as he pulls out draw after draw of the large filing cabinets against the back wall."I've just told Lestrade I didn't get his box and instead handed him the bill for my flights. You were right by the way, Sir Harper would have done anything for his child. Both of his children in fact."
"Both? But Christina was an only child."
"The police were right, but not for the reason's you think" -Sherlock said. "That box did contain papers detailing the accounts that he deposited money in, money that actually turned out to be his own and not through that of laundering. Sir Harper never once stopped being a loving father, John and certainly never ceased being a human right's lawyer with water tight morals either. He was being blackmailed of sorts. Do you remember that you told me he had carried out charity work in Mexico when he was younger?"
"Yes, but most people do that. I did that, I went to Africa for six months to work in an outreach hospital."
"Did you?" He stops midway through a draw and looks at me then seemingly struggles to regain his concentration. "Well it just so happens that it was in a small village that is pretty much run by drug lords. He was helping secure the safety for hundreds of orphaned children. Records in that box indicate that he helped a woman he tried to bring back to this country, married her in fact and with whom he fathered a child. He couldn't help the mother and she succumbed to drugs. Knowing that Sir Harper came from money, the child; a girl was taken and ransom demands made."
"That's what he was paying all the money for"-I say.
"Exactly, and that photo proved that he was paying money also in exchange for children and young adults to be illegally bought into this country and given help to start new lives or be adopted into families who would care for them in the eternal hope that one day, one of them might be his daughter. Unfortunately they began to up the price and he just couldn't keep it running. He sealed his own fate by informing them that he was going to the police with all the details that he had in the security box."
"You aren't going to give the papers to Mycroft or Lestrade, even though technically Sir Harper was funding drug activities and importing children illegally?"
"But he was doing it for admiral reasons John. All those children he helped bring in to this country, all those lives that will be considerably better, and drug free. The man doesn't deserve to be discolored in the media. He did good work."
"But Mycroft said it was a matter of National Security Sherlock, all those drug rings that could have been stopped."
"Oh John, wake up. Those papers didn't tell the government anything they didn't already know, they aren't interested in busting drug rings anymore john. It is too busy trying to keep its head above water. There are numerous reasons Mycroft's agency would need the account numbers in that box; evidence of our involvement in arms deals, funding the 'extradition' of foreign drug criminals. Take your pick it was all in there. It's irrelevant, undeserving and unfortunately untouchable. For now that is." He winks as he says the last statement.
"You gave it all to Christina, didn't you? All of the documents." I stop him with a hand on his chest leaving it there. "You let caring affect the outcome of your case"-I say with an accusing smile and I feel like I've unearthed a treasure no one has ever seen .
"Yes. Well. I thought that might appeal to you. She can do with it whatever she feels is correct. Her father was a good man and she needed to know that".
"So what are we looking for then?"
"In the documents was the name of the contact in this country that helped to bring the children over. It also indicated that she had contacted him saying she was sure she'd found Harper's daughter and the girl was on route. I recognized the name as a woman Lestrade had questioned before. We're looking for her case file for Christina. She has a sister John and wants to be the one to meet her. I want to ensure that happens. Ah, here we are."
He pulls out paper from a file and returns the empty card, taking a large breath. I can see the beginning of his post-case high; a wave that will carry us back to the flat for food, rest and other things. Not necessarily in that order.
"Sherlock, I will call security if you don't open this door right now"-Lestrade banged again.
"We need to get out of here"-I say.
"What's the hurry?" He says folding up the piece of paper and moving around the desk, brushing my coat aside to place the paper in my trouser pocket. I smile at the contact.
"Hello by the way"-he says, in his low rumbling voice edging closer and lightly pushing me back against the wall. His breath is warm and he presses into me swallowing hard lightly pressing his lips to my neck. I release a deep breath and sink into the wall, my head falling back into a stream of evening sunlight falling across my face. How I love that sun.
"Anderson, break this door down" Lestrade shouts.
"Don't fret, he won't do it" says Sherlock quietly and I must still look a little unconvinced because he begins to untuck my shirt and places his hands around my back, all the while slowly reintroducing himself to the crook of my neck.
"I've missed this neck"-he growls.
"Not here Sherlock" I struggle to say, trying to sound forceful but suddenly feeling very hot in this stifling office.
"I don't really want to do that Inspector"-Anderson can be heard saying, his usual shade of nervousness showing through. "We don't really know what they're doing in there."
I can almost hear the cogs of Lestrade's brain catching on. "That's my office" Lestrade shouts, sounding more like a child who's favorite toy has been ruined forever.
"Well it may as well be put to some use don't you think?" -Sherlock shouts as his hands make their way down to my belt and start to undo it whilst looking totally unfazed by the obvious crowd that can be heard growing outside.
"Sherlock not here please. Let us just go home"-I say half-heartedly as I struggle to remain standing. He's very much enjoying this reaction in me.
He hums into my mouth as he kisses me. "Come on, you told me you once did it an elevator surely this is more….interesting?"
"Oh screw it"-I say breathlessly and he smiles as my hands help him get my belt buckle undone.
"That's the spirit"
The image of Sherlock clearing Lestrade's desk for me will go with me to the grave and I'm almost past the point of no return when I hear something. I bolt upright pushing Sherlock from me. "Is that a key?"
"Oh crap." I can only get my trousers pulled up in time for Lestrade to come through the door with Anderson and Donovan peering in over his shoulder. They are treated to the sight of me trying desperately to do my trousers up and Sherlock looking completely unfazed by the intrusion and putting his coat back on.
"Oh my God"-shouts Sally shrieking with morbid delight. "I knew it. That's twenty quid you owe me Anderson."
"That's enough Sally" Lestrade scolds, trying hard to work out where to put his eyes. "That's it Sherlock, you've crossed the line. I'm charging you with…with..."
"With what Inspector, tidying your desk?" Sherlock scoffs.
"Sherlock behave"-I hiss at him tugging at his elbow. "Come on let's just go."
"Indecency" Lestrade shouts as we go to move past him and into the forest of office eyes. "Yes public indecency. That's what I'm doing you for."
"No matter, it was worth it" no remorse found in his voice. "Oh hold on"-he says stopping to fish around in his coat pocket. Lestrade suddenly looks relieved as if he believes he may yet get his papers after all. Damn Sherlock and his dramatics.
He hands Sally a twenty pound note and a huge grin. "This one's on me. Oh yes and Lestrade, here's the name of that delightful gentleman who bludgeoned Sir Harper to death. The American's weren't interested of course, half the story being here and half over there etc. etc. I wouldn't bother looking him up though. While I was there it seems he stole a large amount of money from some very dodgy gentleman in Brooklyn and unfortunately left his wallet at the scene to identify himself. A nasty business. It didn't look good when I left."
"What, Sherlock what did you do?, come back. This is no good to me."- shouts Lestrade.
We stand together waiting for the lift and I'm over aware of the part of Sherlock's arm that's touching mine. "Come on, come on"-I say smashing the button over and over with a building impatience for us not to be held back any further.
"Don't worry, I'll have Mycroft sort it out" he says leaning into me "He owes us after sending me on that ridiculous cover-up mission. Plus he sent me a message about some Russian thing, I have no idea what that could be."
"Oh, I know you'll sort it out, don't worry about that Sherlock. No one will employ a Doctor with a charge of indecent behavior hanging over his head. Believe me you're sorting this out." We get into the lift and as we wait impatiently for the doors to shut, I feel his eyes burn into me.
"So, do you want to accompany me to see the delightful Miss Harper?"
I read his eyes rather than listening to the caramel tones. "No it's okay. This is yours, finish it up. Call me when you're on your way back." I smile at him.
He looks relieved. "You know I always prefer it when you accompany me on my cases don't you? It's not quite as much fun when you're not there to…."
"To marvel at you? To flatter your ego? To….." I don't get to finish. The doors have closed and his hands have snaked skillfully around my neck, crashing his mouth upon mine and it's terribly hot once again.
"Do you think this lift has an emergency halt button?" I ask quietly.
