- You may be looking for Egg Pawn or Egg Knight.
The Knight Pawn is a robot enemy that appears in Sonic Rush. They were created by Dr. Eggman and are a variation of the Egg Pawn. They reappear in the Nintendo 3DS version of Sonic Generations.
Knight Pawns have the body model of an Egg Pawn, but are colored black instead of the typical red. They wield lances, have knight-like helmets on the top of their heads, and have cyan eyes.
Game appearances
Sonic Rush
Knight Pawns appear only in the Water Palace stage. Their attack pattern is similar to a regular Egg Pawn; they run at Sonic or Blaze and attack them with their lances. They can be defeated by either a Spin Dash or by stomping on their heads.
Sonic Generations
Knight Pawns reappear in the same stage as before. No attack patterns have changed whatsoever in their leap towards the Nintendo 3DS.

text: A 'bad bank' being set up to allow lenders to offload toxic real estate investments will hold up to ⿬90 billion of assets, the Economy Ministry said Wednesday. The government aims to set up the bank, to be known by its Spanish acronym SAREB, on Nov. 19, the ministry said.Establishing a bad bank is a requirement for Spain to gain access to a ⿬100 billion loan by the eurozone group of nations to help those of its financial entities worst hit by the collapse of the country's bloated real estate sector with the onset of the crisis in 2008. Rising speculation that Madrid will ask for help soon eased pressure in the bond markets Wednesday. The interest rate on the country's benchmark 10-year bond was down 0.22 percentage points to 5.55 percent in midday trading. It has hovered close to 6 percent in recent weeks amid uncertainty over whether Spain would apply for aid or not. The market improvement was also partly due to relief that Moody's rating agency did not cut its credit grade on the country to junk status, as had been widely feared in recent weeks. Instead, Moody's said after the European market close on Tuesday that it was keeping its Baa3 rating on Spain, the lowest investment grade. Spain is at the core of Europe's financial crisis because, as the fourth largest economy in the 17-country eurozone, it would be hugely expensive to rescue should it lose access to bond markets. The economy is also in terrible shape ⿿ it is in its second recession in three years, unemployment is near 25 percent and forecasts for the coming year are grim.

Four Essentials for Your Study Room
Whether you are a creative guy or a professional, you need a space for yourself where you can work independently. A study room gives you the option to focus all your energies and bring out the best from you. It's a place where the mind should be less distracted and more inclined towards work. The kind of study room you have also reflects your personality. Moreover, it is also the place where you can let the mind relax and think productively.
Many famous writers and painters spent a day, week and sometimes even a month inside a study room. People mostly working from home require a study room. Hence, a touch of professionalism with a subtle relaxing touch is required. So, if you are someone who is planning to make his studio for the first time then here is your first hand guide on how to spruce up your study room.
A proper synchronization of natural and artificial lightning can bring the perfect illumination in your workplace. An attic with a large window that gives a good view of the sky is a good option to let the natural light enter inside your study if you are someone who is involved in technical drawing, painting or graphic work. You can also lighten up your room with artificial lightning. A pendant lamp or a capable desk lamp helps to illuminate the exact place where you desire to work. Moreover, you can also cut down on electricity.
Upholstered armchairs are really important if you have clients visiting your study room. Four or five chairs are a must to have a conversation sitting in your study. Wing Chair, Club Chair and Occasional Chair are some of the different types of chairs that you can add to your study. The Wing Chair provides the extra comfort to rest the head and take a short nap in between nap. The Club Chair on the other hand, adds the retro look. One benefit of the chair is the large nail head that goes around the arm and back to give you a proper sitting experience.
A desk is really a key in a study room. It has to be large enough to accommodate all your working materials. A painter, writer or a fashion designer, a spacious desk is a must for any professional. It can either be a simple wooden board or a large desk with animated or traditional designs.
Wall hangings
An animal skin or a painting can vibrate your study room and at the same time can also bring creativity inside the study room. It is not necessary to include hangings; you can also include some other elements, like a plant, a large screen or a big shelf that contains stack of books.

So I've been thinking about doing some Defiance Recording, jsut play and screen-cap the whole experience. I'm not sure if anyone would find that as interesting as I would...I need some thoughts from folks out there.
Ultimately it wouldn't be a walkthrough, per se, more of a "watch me run around randomly doing things and trying to figure stuff out" kind of video in which I would explain a little of what I was doing along the way. Thoughts, comments, questions . . . ?

this has been buggng and i would like to know
Most Helpful Girl
6'8 is too tall for me. My uncle is 6'8 and I come up to his elbow. That's simply not okay.
Oddly 6'7 is fine. My boyfriend is 6'5-6'6 and I find that ideal.
Funny thing is he'd be 6'9 except he has a spine issue that gives him a bit of a hunch. When he stands up straight it hurts him but man does he get freakishly tall and intimidating :p
A woman in my hometown is 4'11 and her husband is 7'2 though so there's that. Hahaha they have two kids and by the time her sons were 5 they were taller than her :)00|00|0


text:
Well, I have a good reason, really. I'm thinking on a different format, if I wont find the right one, I might go back to the original one, if I will, you'll know about it.
My decision to keep my old MacMini came with a price. I will replace it soon, but not right now. It took me two weeks to reach this decision with the options I had and I believe I made the right call on this one. Not going to be long until I replace it, probably with a newer model if not with a new iMac.
These last two weeks were hard and the next two will be the same. I have many decisions to make, some are more critical then others. I will probably reveal more as time passes, some of my priorities need to be clearer and I often find myself very confused.
But don't worry, I'm here, almost.

New Ways of Evaluating State Unemployment Insurance
Comparisons among state unemployment insurance systems can be misleading. Frequently quoted indicators of the generosity of their benefits, competitiveness, and adherence to the experience-rating principle are influenced by states' relative economic conditions, thereby obscuring underlying structural differences. Moreover, because the indicators are statewide averages, they obscure important intrastate differences in tax and benefit treatment across types of firms and workers.
This article offers alternative indicators based on a simulation approach designed to alleviate these problems. The authors use the simulated experiences of representative workers and firms to compare 28 states and contrast the results with those obtained from more conventional indicators. Given the intricacy of the issues and the harsh trade-offs involved, it is not surprising that debates concerning state UI policy are so contentious. The authors point out that policymakers reviewing the simulations can gain insight into the nature of the trade-offs among policy goals entailed in various UI options. This may even help them to identify "win-win" situations, in which a policy innovation that furthers one goal simultaneously furthers another.

|Saint Paula
|Saint Jerome, Saint Paula, and Saint Eustochium, by Francisco de Zurbarán.
|Venerated in
|Roman Catholic Church
|June 1; January 26
|Depicted as a Hieronymite abbess with a book; depicted as a pilgrim, often with Jerome and Eustochium; depicted prostrate before the cave at Bethlehem; depicted embarking in a ship, while a child calls from the shore; weeping over her children; with the instruments of the Passion; holding a scroll with Saint Jerome's epistle Cogite me Paula; with a book and a black veil fringed with gold; or with a sponge in her hand.[1]
Saint Paula (347–404) was an ancient Roman saint. A member of one of the richest "senatorial" families which frivolously claimed descent from Agamemnon,[2] Paula was the daughter of Blesilla, from the great clan of the Furii Camilli.[3] At the age of 15, Paula was married to the nobleman Toxotius, with whom she had four daughters, Blaesilla, Paulina, Eustochium, and Rufina. She also had a boy, also named Toxotius. We learn of Paula's early life through the writings of Saint Jerome. In his Letter 108, he states that she had led a luxurious life and held a great status. She dressed in silks, and had been carried about her city by her eunuch slaves.
Entering the religious life
At the age of 32, Paula was widowed. She continued to dedicate herself to her family, but became more interested in religion as time went on.
Through the influence of St. Marcella and her group, Paula became an enthusiastic member of this semi-monastic group of women. In 382, she met Saint Jerome, who had come to Rome with St. Epiphanius and Bishop Paulinus of Antioch. Born in Dalmatia, Jerome had studied in Rome as a youth and had traveled to Germany and Aquileia, and for some years had lived in the East as an ascetic and scholar.
Paula's family
Paula married her daughter, Paulina (d. 395), to the senator Saint Pammachius; Blesilla soon became a widow and died in 384. Of her two other daughters, Rufina died in 386, and Eustochium accompanied her mother to the Orient where she died in 419. Her son, Toxotius, at first not a Christian, but baptized in 385, married in 389 Laeta, daughter of the pagan priest Albinus. Of this marriage was born Paula the Younger, who in 404 rejoined Eustochium in the Holy Land and in 420 closed the eyes of St. Jerome. These are the names which recur frequently in the letters of St. Jerome, where they are inseparable from that of Paula. It has been argued that Saint Eustochius of Tours was the brother of Paula the Younger and the son of Toxotius.[3]
In the Holy Land
The death of Blesilla and that of Pope Damasus I in 384 completely changed the manner of life of Paula and Jerome. In September 385, Paula and Eustochium left Rome to follow the monastic life in the East. Jerome, who had preceded them thither by a month, joined them at Antioch. Paula first made in great detail the pilgrimage of all the famous places of the Holy Land, afterward going to Egypt to learn from the practices of the anchorites and cenobites, and finally took up her residence at Bethlehem, as did St. Jerome. Then began for Paula, Eustochium, and Jerome their definitive manner of life.
Two monasteries were founded, one for men, the other for women. Paula and Eustochium took a larger share in the exegetical labours of Jerome, and conformed themselves more and more to his direction. An example of their manner of thinking and writing may be seen in the letter they wrote from Bethlehem about 386 to Marcella to persuade her to leave Rome and join them; it is Letter XLVI of the correspondence of Jerome.
They were involved in the events of the day, first the controversy concerning Origenism which influenced their relations with Bishop John II of Jerusalem, and later Paula's need of money (she was extravagant in her gifts to charity and left Eustochium with debt). The chief and almost the only source of Paula's life is the correspondence of St. Jerome (P. L., XXII). The Life of St. Paula is in Letter CVIII. The other letters which specially concern St. Paula and her family are XXII, XXX, XXXI, XXXIII, XXXVIII, XXXIX, LXVI, CVII.
Paula died at the age of 56 and was buried beneath the Church of the Nativity at Bethlehem.
Relationship with Jerome
Jerome's enemies found that his denunciations of clerical indulgence and advocacy of self-denial were odd when they considered his close relationship with Paula.[4] An amorous relationship between Jerome and Paula was suggested as having occurred.[5]
An anecdote told of Jerome, of twelfth century origin, tells that Roman clergy hostile to Jerome planned to have him expelled from the city by planting a woman's robe next to his bed. When Jerome awoke in the middle of the night to attend the service of matins, he absentmindedly put on the female robes. He was thus accused of having had a woman in his bed. This story acknowledges, while at the same time discrediting as a malicious slander, Jerome's relationship with women, such the kind he is presumed to have had with Paula.[6]
Chaucer played upon the relationship between Jerome and Paula when he writes the Wife of Bath's Prologue. Chaucer has the Wife visit the same pilgrimage sites as did Paula, and has her constantly cite, not classical authors, but Jerome.[2] Many of her comments are counter-arguments to those put forth by St. Jerome, mainly in his work Against Jovinianus.
Palladius, a contemporary of Jerome, believed that Paula was hindered by Jerome: "For though she was able to surpass all, having great abilities, he hindered her by his jealousy, having induced her to serve his own plan."[7]

Don't miss the continuation of Quinn and Paige's bumpy romance in Paige's Bossy Bear
When Quinn Blackwood thought it was time to go hunting for his mate, he couldn't believe fate handed her to him on his very first blind date. His family thought it was an hilarious turn of events since the big bear shifter had been looking forward to sowing a few more wild oats before settling down with his one true mate. No one was laughing when Paige got the wrong idea and believed Quinn was just looking for a good time.
Paige Matthews had finally given into the cajoling of her co-worker and agreed to a blind date with the woman's brother. Paige admired the family of bear shifters and had nursed a secret crush on the oldest Blackwood brother, Quinn, since moving to town. Even though she'd known the odds were against it, she was terribly disappointed that she wasn't his true mate. She did however, decide to take him up on his offer of a good time, cause this good-girl craved the bear's sweet loving.

Cowboy Command: Book 1 (Cowboy Justice Association)
By Olivia Jaymes / Genre: Westerns, Romance / Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars (83 reviews)
Sometimes you have to die to be born.
One minute Katie is eating lunch with her sister, the next she barely escapes a car bomb meant to kill her. If that wasn't enough, someone sets fire to her home and burns it to the ground. Luckily, Federal agents are going to give her a new identity until she can testify against the man who wants her dead. They change her name to Presley, her hair color to brown, and her shorts and sandals to jeans and cowboy boots. She's not thrilled about being sent to a small town in Montana to hide, but she wants to stay alive.
Sheriff Seth Reilly is doing a favor for an old Army buddy. He's promised to watch over a woman whose life is in danger, but he didn't plan on her being so young and beautiful. He's tempted, but she's a bundle of trouble. Seth likes his women calm and sedate. Presley is the kind of woman who would keep him up at night and make him crazy. Too bad he's starting to enjoy it.
Passion flares between Seth and Presley, heating up the cold Montana nights. Knowing they only have a short time together, they vow not to fall in love. But when danger finds Presley, Seth will risk everything to keep her safe until she can testify. Will Presley get her old life back or start a new life with Seth instead?

August is Ghost Month in Taiwan - a time to commemorate the dead: Burn incense, visit shrines, honor ancestors, and avoid unlucky situations, large purchases, and bodies of water. Jing-nan, a young man who runs a food stand in a bustling Taipei night market, doesn't consider himself superstitious, but this August is going to haunt him no matter what he does.
He is shocked to the core when he learns his ex-girlfriend from high school has been murdered. She was found scantily clad and shot on the side of a highway where she was selling betel nuts to passing truck drivers. Beyond his harrowing grief for his lost love, Jing-nan is confused by the news. "Betel nut beauties" are usually women in the most desperate of circumstances; the job is almost as taboo as prostitution. But Julia Huang had been the valedictorian of their high school, and the last time Jing-nan spoke to her she was enrolled in NYU's honor program, far away in New York. The facts don't add up. Julia's parents don't think so either, and the police seem to have closed the case without asking any questions.
The Huangs beg Jing-nan to do some investigating on his own - reconnect with old classmates, see if he can learn anything about Julia's life that she might have kept from them. Reluctantly, he agrees, for Julia's sake. But nothing can prepare him for what he learns - or how it will change his life.

Stinky Tofu Anyone???
- Tracey
Grim, grimmer and grimmest.
I bought this book because it was recommended by Tim Hallinan, who is one of my very favorite writers. His talents are so far above those of Mr. Lin and Mr. Chin, that there is really no comparison, although I will note a few discrepancies. First, Tim's books are loaded with humor, lovable characters, plots that are written with breakneck speed, and also are full of Tim's love of the Thai people and of many aspects of the Southeast Asian countries. Mr. Lin's book has almost none of these. It begins with a grim murder and then goes quickly downhill from there. The primary character is a dour, pleasure-free man who hates his existence, which involves mainly working in a sidewalk barbecue stand in Taipei. There must be some pleasure, humor and/or adventure to grab the reader's attention. I found none of these in the slog that is trying to get through even a few chapters of this book. Enough said.
All of the above.
Mr. Chin would appear to have virtually zero narrative skills. He speaks in an uninflected monotone. He speaks in exactly one voice. The good and great narrators to whom I have listened over the years have often been trained as actors, and you can hear this in their performances. This audiobook moved me to exactly nowhere, slowly.
All of them.
A waste of your time and money. I still love almost everything Tim Hallinan writes, although I have to say that the Poke Rafferty books are way more to my liking than the Junior Bender series. It is hard to get involved in and attracted to a man who makes his living as a burglar. As for Mr. Lin, he should hold onto his day job, even if he deplores it.

Style: 24329369 Color Code:
Cotton bustier-style babydoll tank top with pleated eyelet body. Buttons down the front. Stretchy smocking on both sides of back. Crochet straps. Fully lined.
100% Cotton
Machine Wash Cold
Measurements for Size Small:
Length: 13 1/2"
Bust (all around): 31 1/4"
Waist: 31 1/2"
Total Strap Length: 19"
This was super disappointing for me. Loved the top online, saw some good reviews, so I ordered it. This tank literally hung off of my body. The straps are super long and poorly made so they aren't worth altering. I purchased the smallest size and it was just such a huge (literally and metaphorically) let down.
Very cute shirt but don't order size bigger!
This shirt is as cute as it is in the picture, but be careful what size you order! I'm 5'5 and 125 pounds and got a medium to be safe, but it is very loose. I had to safety pin the shirt so it will stay up! If you can usually go either way between two sizes, get the smaller one!
Love the details!
This top is typical of Free People, gorgeous attention to detail. The only reason not 5 stars is that it does run large. I ordered my usual small first and had to return for XS b/c the straps were way too long and was just overall way too big. SIZE DOWN!!! Beautiful top though!
pretty but big
I got this item today and a bit disappointed. Ordered the xs but it is way too big. the straps are looong and the body even with the elastics in the sides are too roomy. It's too expensive to return it so I'll see how my seamstress can fix it. It's pretty but size down ladies. If they only make xxs!
So Pretty
My favorite part of this top are the straps. Sooooo pretty. I got it in the white and looooove it. The boob area though is tiny. I wouldn't recommend for someone with a bigger chest. I got the XS and for reference I am 5'2", 100 lbs, 32-23-35, B cup.

text: Business & EconomySigns of trouble in China's soaring skyline? Huge construction projects under way but analysts say empty buildings may point to trouble ahead. 18 Mar 2012 08:52 GMT | Business & Economy, Asia Pacific, China " />" /> China's strong consumer base has kept the country stable in times of global economic uncertainty. But alternative economic indicators may now be pointing to tougher financial times for the world's second-biggest economy. The country's towering skyline, made up of plenty of new but vacant buildings, is a sure indicator for many that it is heading for trouble. Half of all the world's skyscrapers currently under construction are in China. And like New York in the run-up to the Wall Street crash of 1929, or Dubai before the 2008 financial collapse, analysts point to the link between building for pride and an impending economic fall. Al Jazeera's Rob McBride reports from Hong Kong.Source: Al Jazeera

The much awaited trailer of Suriya's upcoming movie 24 was screened at the audio launch event, much to the joy of fans and celebrities. The few lucky ones who have witnessed the trailer are raving about it.
A fan named Satish Kumar wrote on his social media page, "#24Trailer - Wondering Visuals with awesome BGM along with beautiful Surya & Samantha. What else needed to watch the movie? It is also a rare fantasy science fiction movie with all the commercial ingredients."
He further went on to say, "In brief, whoever watches the trailer, will definitely watch the movie in theaters. BGM vera level @Suriya_offl @kegvraja."
Kaushik LM said, "Aathreya says Aayushman what style, venom and aggression.. #Suriya 's first negative role is deadly.. #24Trailer uncovers him even more. Lover boy, watch mechanic Mani sure to charm viewers.. Lots of romance in the #24Trailer.. Imagino Romanso Philia :-) & #Samantha fab looks."
Well-known reporter Haricharan Pudipeddi wrote, "#24Trailer is kickass. Action-packed and intriguing. #Suriya has rocked in all his different avatars. May release."
Online movie reviewer Prashanth posted on his Twitter page, "24 trailer screened - Yabba, power packed #24AudioLaunch."
Movie industry tracker Ramesh had tweeted, "#24Trailer Mass Mersal.. @Suriya_offl different roles.. Beyond awesome.. @arrahman BGM.. A major highlight.. Dir VikramKumar has a Winner.."
While the Tamil version of the trailer will be launched on YouTube today at 8 PM, the Telugu version too, will be launched at 8 PM, right after the audio launch event of the movie in Hyderabad.
Going by the early reviews, looks like the trailer of 24 will turn out to be one of the best Tamil trailers ever launched in recent times.

Director of the movie said that Mohanlal opted out of the movie due to date issues. Mohanlal currently is brimmed with films from his own industry.Presently, he is shooting for Shikar, Alexander the Great, Oru Naal Varum, Christian Brothers, China Town, Kandahar, Swapnamalika and Casanova etc.. Out of these Oru Naal Varum has Sameera Reddy opposite him. She is making her debut in the industry. Also Sangeeth Sivan is planning a new film with Mohanlal named Bhasuram. Its production is by Reliance.Oru Naal Varum, Shikar is already under filming and Kandahar will start rolling from June end. Latest buzz is that Mohanlal is likely to do another Bollywood film in near future. What to say..he is just wonderful.

Vive la difference: Crystal Serenity Cruise Review by njhh
Overall Member Rating
Vive la difference
Destination: Transatlantic
Embarkation: Barcelona
Let me explain:
Cruising is about leaving cares and troubles behind for a time and enjoying life. This begins with embarkation. If you have to enter a terminal, figure out WHAT LINE YOU BELONG IN, or figure out which line is moving the fastest, then you are NOT on Crystal. More My first Crystal experience taught me that one merely needs to walk onto the ship and pick up the room key. VOILA!
If you are reminded everyday what benefits you get based on how many times you have cruised, you are not on Crystal. As first time cruisers we were given $100 shipboard credit each and an additional $200 each as part of our booking. Everyone I talked to received credit just for booking which one that gets to decide on how to use, e.g., internet, spa, stores, excursions, private dance instruction.
This gets to the heart of what impressed me the most about Crystal. At no point did I detect or recognize the difference in passengers. Officers did not parade into the dining room with privileged guests, suite passengers received no special dining room or specialty restaurant booking privileges, there was no mention anywhere that if you are such and such you get such and such. No private parties for "special" groups. We did have a cruise critic party, but anyone could attend. If the cruise line does this sort of thing, it is discreet and that is really my point. They make it their business to treat everyone on board as a first class passenger. No difference is the difference! This is a brilliant business strategy in my way of thinking.
The other key business strategy that puts Crystal at the very top is the public space to passenger ratio. Read: no crowds anywhere!!! No buffet lines, no chair hogs because there are so many wonderful choices, lots of dance floor. A WIDE WRAP AROUND PROMENADE for those who love to walk or run. Space, space, space.
Another small example that speaks volumes: I learned Crystal has guest laundry services. HURRAY! I followed a sign, found it, and discovered, wow, no charge to use the machines. But alas, no machine for laundry soap. I thought, ah ha, this is where they will get you, they will charge $10 for soap! So I checked the stores and then asked at the desk with a rather wry look on my face. She looked at me quizzically and said, "madam, you simply push the button when you need soap". You mean bing, bang, boom, it is free? She laughed at me. Then, to top it off, I learned there is not one guest laundry, no, there is one ON EVERY FLOOR!
A big example of how Crystal is out-thinking other cruise lines is their strategy of transatlantic big band dance cruises. If you are a dance lover, there is no better ship venue. The professional instructors (4) gave multiple group lessons every sea day, private instruction and they performed at various times with each other, crew and passengers. I count myself as a dance instruction snob and they outclassed the competition on land and sea by a mile. Seven dance ambassadors were onboard and were tireless in dancing with the ladies on-board. This has to be the best kept secret in the cruising industry but I think it is just starting to take off so if you are interested, act fast and book!
Finally, let me say a word about the passengers. The first week I kept asking myself, "is it the passengers aboard who make this a more enjoyable experience, or is it the way Crystal does business that makes every happier and therefore the experience more enjoyable?" I have concluded that it must be both.On Crystal, you will see smiling octogenarians showing the middle aged folks how to have fun. Common etiquette is evident everywhere. If you are on a ship with whiners, complainers, "me too" or "me first" needy type folks, you are not on Crystal!
Before I conclude, I will point out two areas that are good but could be better. The spa. It is disconnected in culture from the rest of the ship. To be brief, they should be more inviting and offer more amenities in the locker room, especially at those prices. Second, the regular production stage performers (not the professional ballroom instructors onboard) are good, not great. I might point to Azamara as a cruise line that excels in maximizing the potential of a small dance/vocal performer group.
Crystal cruises are a class act all the way. The discerning cruiser will see it at every turn and it will be experienced as a warmth that melts ones cares away. The ships are large enough to provide a smooth ocean experience, but small enough to make friends and find your way around. It is, after all, the perfect all around luxury cruise experience. Less

Cabin review: A9121
9121 is a standard deluxe cabin with verandah. I thought the design and quality of the interior was exceptional. Our bathroom was a nice size (two sinks, bath and shower) the closets were located where you did not block or have to stand in front of the door when you were dressing. We used perhaps half of our storage space. The furniture is comfortable, the air system wonderful and easy to use. The beds were firm but not hard, the pillows soft but not too squishy, the comforters were crisp and smooth to the skin. Regular adjustable bed side lamps and small reading lamps were excellent. The refrigerator was easy to access. The flat screen was well on a shelf above the refrigerator. Two blow dryers, one hanging in the bathroom and the other in a drawer by the vanity.

Charlie reached down blindly and snatched a bit of driftwood, throwing it with all her might back into the water. As if she could beat it into answering her. As if she could hurt it. "Why?" she cried again, quieter this time, her voice broken by the sobs she couldn't hold back any longer. It had already been five weeks. Every passing day made their survival less likely. She'd held herself together for so long, but she couldn't anymore. The breaking of her heart wouldn't let her.
She seized more wood, more rocks, anything that came to hand, and hurled it back into the water, as if she could trade these things for her parents, as if there was some balance that, if only she found it, they would be given back to her. She threw and screamed and cried until her arms ached from the strain and her head started to pound in time with her grief. She staggered on feet numbed from freezing water as her hands closed around one last piece of wood. Splinters dug into her hand, the first physical discomfort to grab her attention. Pain and blood and the weight of the wood made her stop and look. Charlie sucked in a shuddering breath and squinted in the darkness.
It wasn't driftwood she was holding. It was debris washed ashore. The wood was flat and, except for where it was torn, smooth. It was newly wrecked. The piece in her hand was small and indistinct, and it could have come from anyone's boat, but she knew it wasn't anyone's boat. She knew.
Her rage evaporated, leaving with a sucking sensation that left no room for anything but shock. Charlie pulled the small piece of flotsam to her chest, letting it bite into her skin, letting wood pierce flesh and her blood mingle with the salt water. She sank to her knees. Water rushed around her, the waves hitting her mid-chest, some water spraying over her head. She clutched the wood as if it were a talisman that could stave off the rest of the world, and allowed her shock to swallow her completely.
"I'm sorry," someone said. Charlie blinked dazedly, trying to see though the ocean seemed a million miles away. He came up out of the water. No, the water fell back from around him. No, he gathered the water around the two of them like a cloak. No – Charlie's mind wasn't working and could not make sense of what she was seeing. However he did it, he was suddenly before her, pulling her to him. He plucked the last piece of her parents' life from her arms as though it was nothing and pulled her closer until all she could see was him. Arms held tight, wrapping around her back, around her shoulders, around her legs. "I'm sorry," he said again when she opened her mouth to protest – not for her safety, not for his invasion, but for the piece of wood that was her last connection to her parents. "There isn't any time."
He lowered his head to hers, touching his lips against her mouth. She thought he would kiss her, but then water poured through her mouth, into her lungs, through her whole body, cold and icy and painful and wonderful. She had an instant to think, "I'll die with them," and then her skin was torn from her body in pain so intense it took her awareness with it.

Style: 35013184 Color Code:
Seamless triangle shape bra with strap detailing below the bust. Adjustable straps.
love love love
i got this bra in the grey and is super flattering, i don't usually get light coloured bras but they didnt have black in stock but I'm glad i got it! the fabric is so so comfortable and soft, its stretchy but not too stretchy. and the strap that goes underneath wasn't too big and is stretchy as well so will fit to your body and doesn't dig in or anything. this is honestly the most comfortable bra I've ever worn and ill definitely be getting it in black.
I Bought this to go under a couple of lower cut dresses and it worked great. Fabric is so soft and comfy - easy to forget you are even wearing a bra. The shape held up well and did not ride up or move around at all. I am not a busty girl, so that may have something to do with the minimal movement. I am 36 A and the XS/SM fit perfect. I love it so much I am ordering another color.
Comfy and pretty for layering, etc.
I got an xs in black. I love how comfortable the bra is. Btw my chest is on the small size so I don't know how much support this piece will provide (I'm 28C) for other ladies. The back rides up more than a typical bra, but I think that that might be the style. It looks awesome on and I am thinking to get the white. Would have been more awesome if the red was cherry red or burgundy-color, not coral-looking red <-- first world problems.
Summer Staple
LOVE these bras. I originally purchased the black one, and loved it so much I ended up coming back to buy all 3 of the colors available! The adjustable straps are awesome, and I love wearing this with a low rise tank to show off all the cute details.

Peace and chaos.
Sorrow and rejoicing.
Pain and relaxation.
Health and illness.
Anger and hope.
Trust and hopelessness.
Silent and raging.
Why her and why not her?
Why us and why not us?
Why them and why not them?
How do we balance our hopes and expectations for healing and wholeness with patience and trust that all shall be well? That there is hope and a future?
I've spent a lot of time reading and pondering the Biblical account of the raising of Lazarus from the dead in John 11. His sisters sent a message to their friend, Jesus, informing him that their brother was sick.
"Lord, the one you love is sick."
The one you love is in the hospital.
The one you love is afraid.
The one you love is looking for a job.
The one you love is hurting.
When Jesus got the message, he stayed where he was for two days.
And then took several more days to arrive at the home of the three sibling,
but Lazarus was already dead.
Sick. Hospice care. Deceased. Dead. Gone
"If you had been here, my brother would not have died."
If you had been here, my child would not be sick.
If you had been here, my marriage would not be ending.
If you had been here, my church would not be imploding.
If you had been here, those bombings wouldn't have happened.
If you had been here, he wouldn't have hit me or cursed at me.
Where are you? Where have you been?
Jesus saw Mary and Martha and their friends in sorrow, in grief, and Jesus wept.
Does Jesus weep with us now, in our suffering and sorrow?
What if Jesus is with us AND we still have to go through this sorrow?
What if our friends and family love us AND we still have to go through this sorrow?
What if there is hope and a future AND we still have to go through this sorrow?
Both hope and sorrow.
Both love and sorrow.
Both Jesus and sorrow.
The good news for Mary, Martha, and Lazarus is that Jesus raised him from the dead.
Called him out of the tomb.
Celebration. Rejoicing.
Celebration. Rejoicing.
Around here, we are waiting for resurrection.
For new life. For restoration, healing, wholeness, and true freedom.
Clinging to hope, pleading for relief.
Outside the tomb, waiting for new life to emerge.

There is a girl. She is two years younger than me. She goes to the parallel class (different class but same grade) of my sister. I recognized her cause she and my sister were talking at school and later that day I asked my sister about her. I think the girl is beautiful and I told it my sister. (No big deal. We often tell each other about other boys/girls)
But my sister told the girl what I said and after some days the girl told my sister that she thinks I'm cute.
Now I want to approach that girl cause the is really beautiful and you can often guess what a person is like by seeing how somebody talks to others and this girl is wonderful. Maybe a bit shy but cute and always with a smile.
Now I don't know how I could start a conversation. I don't know how to get to know her. What could I do?
Most Helpful Girl
Just walk right up to the chick. Then tell her that she seems amazing and that you really want to learn more about her.10|10|0
- Show AllShow Less
Never got that much adrenaline in my blood when I asked her. I weren't able to concentrate after it for like an hour. You're welcome :)
:D I get the same way as well. Though when I asked my boyfriend of 4yrs now out. I was stuttering like mad, my face was red, and I ended up shoving a song by Elvis in his face. Saying that explains how I felt.

Local REALTOR® Leader Has Been Dealing With a Nightmare Email Scam for a Year
You are currently browsing comments. If you would like to return to the full story, you can read the full entry here: "Local REALTOR® Leader Has Been Dealing With a Nightmare Email Scam for a Year".
Although we like to think we live in a safe world, there are those set out to inflict harm to even the most kind people. As they say "knowledge is power". Take the time to read up on how email and computer processes work and how to protect yourself against fraud.
I regularly – if not daily – every other day – some times 2 x a day – get an e-mail inquiring about a listing. Typically it happens to be one that is 450 acres and listed for $8,750,000. They ask me to send them information. I respond with a PDF flyer about the property. Then I get an e-mail back with either a document attached or a link to click on to see their criteria to move forward. Due to suspicions I refuse to open their document or click on their link. One day I got the e-mail asking about that piece of land and later that day I got the same e-mail from same address asking about a $1,250 per month rental. Go figure. They can't keep it straight. Sometimes I get the same e-mail 2 x from the same sender. The language in the e-mail is enough off kilter to suspect it is not from someone with reasonable intelligence here in the US. Got to be careful out there.
By what method do you recommend to "save email securely'?
Thank you.
Hi Dan –
In response to your question regarding the best way to save email securely: There are various options for secure email archiving – using a secure third-party cloud storage vendor, setting up a secure storage system within your current IT system, or even using a secured external hard drive back-up. Your best choice will depend on your particular business needs, budget, and risk profile. I would recommend consulting with an IT person to determine the best system for your needs.

Are you an Apple fan living in India? Count yourself in the minority. India may be the third largest smartphone market, but there's no reason for Apple to be happy about the bigger pie.
The company's huge marketing effort over the past six months has resulted in a small explosion of iPhone 4 sales, but higher-margin devices such as the iPhone 4S and the iPhone 5 remain the choice of a few well-heeled individuals. The choice of the word well-heeled is entirely ours but it lends itself very well when understanding why Apple is still only lukewarm in India.
High-quality design, great user experience, but too pricey
The fact that India is a price-sensitive market and Indians are budget-conscious shoppers for all product categories, makes Apple's premium proposition a hard pill to swallow. In fact, Apple is so rigid on the policy that even when other smartphones become less expensive a month or two after launch, iPhones retail for the same price till a new generation model takes its place. The well-designed, highly-optimised devices that Apple launches in India find very few takers, primarily because of the price hurt. But the price situation has changed in the past year and even this hasn't helped the company.
Apple set its prices for India when the dollar was around the Rs 50 mark. Since then the pricing has remained the same for all new iPhones with only minor increases or decreases. This, even as launch prices of competing Android flagships have steadily risen over the years and have come closer to the iPhone mark, examples being the launch price of the HTC One (Rs 42,900) and the Galaxy S4 (Rs 41,500). At one point, a Samsung flagship could outsell a contemporary iPhone in India riding the price advantage, but that no longer is the case. Despite this, Apple is not making headway in the market, something which should be of great worry for the company.
Apple tried to shield Indian wallets from this premium by offering exchange discounts, cash-back offers and EMI schemes. All this in just the first half of this year and it worked wonders for the two-generations-old iPhone 4. Despite the iPhone 4 success, the overall sales in the first three months of the year have been anything but encouraging. The Economic Times reports that between January and March this year, the Cupertino-based company sold some 120,000 iPhones in India. That's only a little more than half the total amount sold in the October-December quarter of 2012, according to IDC numbers. This meant Apple's market share fell from a decent 4.7 percent to 2.1 percent— lower than Sony, Nokia and a number of Indian brands.
The new Macbook Air range starts from Rs 67,900 for the entry-level model
Besides being too expensive, Apple's products always have had a history of being annoyingly late coming to India. This has changed over the years, but one can't shake off the feeling that India is not a priority for Apple. The situation has improved these days with Apple launching their non-mobile devices (Macbooks et al) not too late after the US launch, but new iPhones and iPads still arrive in India later than most other countries, often after the initial hype has died. At least, nowadays Indian users don't have to pay the full price for products at the end of their life cycle (like what happened with the first-gen iPad and iPhone 3GS, which arrived nearly a year after their launch in the US).
In contrast, other manufacturers give top billing to India when it comes to flagships and other high-end devices. The Galaxy S4 arrived in India a little over a month after its official announcement and even the HTC One is now readily available after a month's delay in launch.
You might run into the odd Apple nut here, but rabid Apple fandom that's seen in other countries has skipped India. Indians love camping to get the first Tatkal ticket or get a leg up in the school admissions queue, but lines outside an Apple store for first dibs on a new iPad or iPhone are still exceptional, and anything but ordinary. One reason could be that Apple has never seriously tried to cultivate an Indian fanbase. This is evident in the lack of Apple Stores in the country, which can be considered the fountain that "iSheep" drink from.
No queues outside Apple Stores; no Apple Stores
If you look back to the PC wars too, India's lack of love for Apple is clear. Indians adopted Windows and Linux by the millions, but the Mac remains a rare sight. Ironically, this elusiveness has made the Mac (both iMacs and Macbooks) a status symbol. Even the early colourful iMacs, sold in India via the reseller network, never did well. High-end Mac desktops and the fully-loaded Macbook Pros are seen as the preserve of the few who need it for intensive tasks like visual graphics and video editing.
The frustrating part for Apple must be that even as competing phones get more expensive, Indians prefer them over Apple's iPhone. As we have seen, even Android smartphones are routinely breaking the Rs 40,000 price barrier, but Apple still is the second or third choice in that range. While Brand Apple is a force to reckon with in many Western markets, the company has to rethink about how to educate Indians about the brand. This will be the bigger challenge and it's going to take more than a lucrative EMI scheme to do that.

Part of Swiss collector's exceptional art trove to be sold
Works by many of the world's greatest modern and impressionist artists will be sold at auction in June with the closure of the gallery of late Swiss art trader Ernst Beyeler, auctioneers Christie's said on Sunday.
The paintings, sculptures and sketches from Beyeler and his wife Hildy's private gallery collection include works by Monet, Gauguin, Renoir, Toulouse-Lautrec, Picasso, Matisse, Kokoschka, Klee, Leger, Dubuffet and Roy Lichtenstein, the auction house said.
Ernst Beyeler, who became renowned for building one of the most impressive international collections of 20th century art, died at the age of 88 in February 2010, less than two years after Hildy.
"Many generations of specialists and collectors have seen their taste forged by Beyeler's eye," said Jussi Pylkkaenen, president of Christie's Europe, Middle East and Russia.
"To buy from Ernst Beyeler was to buy great 20th century modernism, and to buy from Beyeler was to buy the best," he added.
During his lifetime, Beyeler had already donated much of his collection, more than 200 seminal works, to a foundation and its purpose-built museum next to his native city of Basel.
However, he still owned many cherished works through his small gallery in the city centre.
The Swiss gallery announced late Friday that it was closing in keeping with the couple's last wishes and that its funds would be used to raise money for the Fondation Beyeler.
"We look forward to a tremendous atmosphere in the saleroom and to raising a significant sum for the Fondation Beyeler, which remains the great legacy of Ernst Beyeler's personal generosity and vision," said Pylkkaenen.
The auction is to take place in London on June 21-22.
