The tides created were able to flood entire cities. Captain Lundvik and her team were sent to the planetoid, where they encountered the Twelfth Doctor, Clara Oswald, and Courtney Woods, who, after sparing the life of the creature beneath the Moon, helped Lundvik get back to Earth. The Moon then hatched and was replaced by an identical egg. The Twelfth Doctor credited the day that the creature hatched and had its life spared as the turning point where humankind began "creeping off" into the stars.

Long distance or post breakup. What do you miss?
Most Helpful Guy
I'm not sure I understand the question. If she moved away, I'd miss her right away. After a break up would depend on a lot of things.00|00|0
I am asking because I am in long distance and we have no way to communicate atm. I'm just hoping that my boyfriend doesn't move on in that time that we cannot communicate. I guess I was wondering, since we were very close before he left, if he would be likely to miss me down the road
- Show AllShow Less
If it's just 2 months, I wouldn't worry. If it was going to be 2 years, yeah, that'd be different. You'll be fine. Good luck!
Thank you again! I feel much better

What if the covenant purported to restrict the former franchisee from being in the "restaurant business?" This generally won't be enforceable either, because there are various kinds of restaurants that an ex-restaurant franchisee can be involved in. And you can't deprive someone from earning a living, especially if the restaurant business is all they know. But if it had said a restaurant business where "50 per cent of food revenue was from the sale of pizza," that might be a bit more troublesome for the former franchisee who wants to open up his own pizza restaurant after her current pizza restaurant franchise ends.
But even if the covenant did describe, with much greater certainty, the kind of business the soon to be ex-franchisee was not to be in for six months, there are other hoops a franchisor or other party enforcing a restrictive covenant has to jump through to obtain an interlocutory injunction to stop the conduct right away. One of them is cost. From the perspective of legal fees alone, injunctions are phenomenally expensive for both parties, but usually more for the party seeking to enforce the covenant. The second issue is the injunction itself, because there are many factors that have to be satisfied before a court will grant such an extraordinary remedy such as an injunction before a trial. The bar is set high because granting the injunction may well decide the outcome of the trial. So the franchisor could spend truckloads of money and still lose.
There are other factors that might come into play, including any inequality of bargaining power between the parties, and whether the person at the receiving end of the injunction obtained independent legal advice before he or she entered the franchise or other contract that contained the restrictive covenant.
So if you're considering signing a franchise agreement that restricts you from being in a "similar business" when the contract ends for five years and 50 miles from your soon-to-be-franchised location, what do you do? Well, see a lawyer, because these are complicated issues, the law is different across Canada, and the facts aren't always that simple.
But based on the facts I've given you above, I might provide what I call Basil Faulty's Advice. Whatever you do, don't mention the war. Leave it alone. Don't touch it. Don't bring it up.
If you let the franchisor know its restrictive covenant is too long in time, too broad in scope or too uncertain, all the franchisor will do will be to fix it to make it more enforceable against you. So just don't mention it. Besides, if the franchisor drafted it, and the drafting is ambiguous, there's a rule of contractual interpretation that states that the ambiguity will be resolved against the party that wrote the provision. So strike three.
What if I'm the franchisor wanting to stop someone from being in the same business after the franchise agreement ends?
Well, the facts above won't help me, because if the franchisee's lawyer knows his or her law, they'll send me a recent case from the Supreme Court of Canada on non-competition covenants, and politely tell me to jump in a lake. It's over baby. Time to redraft my contract.
So you might "lawyer up" and redraft your covenant to make it more enforceable. Shorten the time period of the restriction. Make the geographic restriction smaller. Define the business more specifically. And you might put in a provision that allows the franchisor to unilaterally reduce the scope of the covenant without consent of the franchisee, just so you can reduce it further if the law changes and you have doubts about its enforceability in five years.Report Typo/Error

Weston leaves Bluebirds
By Lewis Rutledge
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Rhys Weston has left Cardiff by mutual consent and is set to switch to Norway.
Rhys Weston has left Cardiff by mutual consent and is set to sign for Norwegian side Viking Stavanger.
Bluebirds boss Dave Jones has not played Weston in The Championship this season and has agreed with the 25-year-old that his contract should be terminated.
Weston has admitted that he is disappointed to leave Ninian Park in such circumstances, but feels it is for the best.
"It's been very unsettling knowing that you don't figure in the manager's plans," he said.
"There's no point hanging around and you have to look after your interests.
"I gave my best for Cardiff and it's a shame it ended the way it did. But I was loyal to the club and I even took a substantial pay cut last season when asked to help the club through a difficult time."
Weston will now travel to Scandinavia looking to secure a permanent deal with Viking Stavanger.
There are only eight more weeks remaining in the Norwegian league season.

Do you remember your first stock market trade and how you behaved at the time? Just like you, even I, have made some really stupid mistakes while investing. Today, I would like to share some mistakes (only the big ones :)) which I made during my first trade in stock markets. Its worth discussing, how I could have avoided those mistakes. You can learn from them too!
Mistake 1 : Buying on Others Recomendation.
27th Nov 2007 : I had just got my spanking new trading account and I was so eager to trade and make lots of money(How to start in Stock Market) . I saw an Orkut community recommending GTC India – a "Buy" Recommendation. There were several good reasons discussed there, and an extrapolation on how it can reach from current price of 600 to 2000 in some months. It looked like a "don't-miss" trade. I bought 10 shares @ 560/-.
Mistake : Buying only on recommendation and not analysing the opportunity well, over relying on others recommendation, buying a company which I do not understand enough .
Learning : Never buy, just on recommendation! Do your own study and analysis. When you buy on others recommendation, you don't take responsibility if there is any loss, which is dangerous in markets. Hear others but listen to your self. See other factors like market trends, sector view, global markets, future prospects et al. Once you are fully confident that its a good trade and you feel comfortable with it… go for it.
Mistake 2 : Being too greedy
After 3 days : Just after I bought the shares, it went up from 560 to 800 in 3-4 days. I thought that its moving as expected, and bought 10 more shares at 800. Within another week, it went up more to 950! Now, I was flying! I bought 10 more shares @955 again, to reach the target of 1500+ . My average buy price was now 772 . I was feeling little bad for not buying 30 shares directly @560 in the start .
Mistake : Greed! Pure & simple… This is a very common mistake, a big mistake at that – so big that it will be among the top mistakes investor and traders do. Buying more wasn't wrong. It was the intention behind the buy. There is nothing wrong in increasing the position once it moves to your target, but it has to be backed up with strong reasons and study. It should be a trade with high probability of success. In my case, it was not. It was just a recommendation from someone in an orkut community, with a couple of lines, explaining, why it will go up .
Learning : There was no need to buy more shares that point in time. I should have just sat back and watched. The Stock market is just like our life, you need to have a level of satisfaction in your life and stock markets. If you want more and more and more, you might not get anything. In fact, you can lose heavily. Because of greed, I invested more than I could afford to lose. I took an unwanted and unaffordable risk, because I only saw profits and never the potential losses.
Mistake 3 : No profit booking on Time
After 1 week : The prices were not moving now. It was going up a bit then coming down again and was stuck in a range of 900-1000. It went up to 990 once. For a time being there was doubt in my mind if it will not move up to 2000 and will return back to my buy price levels.
Mistake : No profit booking. There was a sharp rise in shares price from 550 to 900 in just 2-3 weeks and that is rare. It doesn't happen to every stock, it was an excellent return, but i did not book profits. Instead of making the best of the situation and taking the (not so bad) profits, the market was offering me, I wanted more and more and lost even what I was getting. The reason was Greed, again.
Learning : The better thing to have done, was to book profits, at least partially… Situations change in markets, I never checked on any news regarding the company after i bought the shares, and I was never updated about it. Every time you get some good profit, its a wise idea to at least book some partial profits out of it (Unless you have really strong reasons to hold it for long) .
Mistake 4 : Having Ego
In next 1 week : Prices now started coming down. It came to 900 first, I was scared and told myself that I will book profits once it goes back to levels of 950+. It never did! Then it came back to 800 and I regretted not booking a profit at 900 and said to myself again "I will book it for sure when it comes to 850." Guess what? It never did! Then it went up a bit again and went up to 850 . I forgot my promise to myself & allowed my greed to take over my promise. It went down again after that and now it was near my average buy price. This was the time I was feeling, "What a big fool am I, for not booking Great profits!" I could have sold it at 0% profit, & yet I didn't, because I would look a fool in my own eyes. Why Stock Markets Attract and Look Easy
Mistake : Ego ! Fear of losing part of profits, another mistake was the fear of not making any profits and fear of losing some money . Fear! Fear! Fear!
Learning : "When your boat starts sinking, you don't pray… just jump" Once you are doubtful, surrender to markets wish. See what markets are showing you, not what you wanted to see. Markets are supreme and no one can be smarter than the markets. Leave your ego at your home, when you go in front of Markets. The markets tell you what's going to happen, not vice versa. Accept that you are wrong and you made a mistake. Then move on.
Mistake 5 : No Patience
After few days : Then the prices started falling and plummeted to 600 (my original buy price). Now I was in loss. I was proven wrong, but I just couldn't accept it. I kept trying to prove myself right by holding it and hoping it would come back up. Yea, you know… It never did 🙂 . It went lower and lower and lower and I was just praying & hoping that it'd return back to a level where I'd be happy to sell it. It never did! It went up to 300 and I sold it all in frustration. Then, I saw it go down to 250 and bounce back to 500! Now, I was feeling like I was cheated by the market for not giving me the right opportunity to exit.
Mistake : Impatience, Fear and not cutting my losses short. I exited at a very bad time, at almost the lowest price then. There was an opportunity for me to exit at small loss, but taking a loss hurts the ego and it did. Not cutting my loss in time was the result, of my not defining my loss early enough. I should have had thought of it earlier. Then, I'd just pull a trigger, when it reached that level, without emotions. Fear overtook common sense, Fear overtook logic .
Learning : I should have defined my Target and Losses before taking the trade. I should have been realistic and logical. I should have waited little more time and then exited at a better price. I should have consulted someone, better than me (At that time though, even a street dog could have given a better advice than me :))
Price of GTC INDIA after this Incident : It never went above my price levels after that and went to Rs 55 after couple of months , even today (Nov , 2010) , its hovering below Rs 65 only .
Conclusion and Summary
My first trade was not at all planned and "no plan" is "a plan to fail" . Fear! Greed! Emotion! Ego! Impatience! . These are the elements of Failure in Stock markets. Manage them well and you'll do better!

Nine applicants who say they want to be captain of the Flagler Beach Police Department completed the interview process this week.
FLAGLER BEACH — Nine applicants who say they want to be captain of the Flagler Beach Police Department completed the interview process this week.
City Manager Bruce Campbell, along with outgoing Police Chief Dan Cody, former Bunnell Police Chief Jeff Hoffman and Chuck Jones, manager of the Publix store on State Road 100, interviewed the applicants.
Campbell said he'll narrow the field to three by the week of Sept. 30 and choose a winner by mid-October.
"It's not going well," Campbell said Thursday of the selection process. "We had too many good candidates."
Cody may be the city's last chief — the City Commission agreed earlier this summer to eliminate the police and fire chief positions and replace them with captains who will earn about 20 percent less and take more hands-on roles in their departments.
The new captains will earn about $58,000.
Campbell said he'll choose a police captain first and then start the selection process for a fire captain in late October or early November. He's received seven applications for the fire position.
The following candidates applied to be the city's police captain:
Leslie W. Cantrell II, — Representative for Teamsters Local 2011; former sergeant with the Volusia County Sheriff's Office.
William Shamp — Sergeant for Flagler Beach Police Department.
Randall H. Doyle — Patrol officer for Flagler Beach Police Department since June; formerly with the Daytona Beach Police Department and Flagler County Sheriff's Office.
Nathaniel Ingram — Reserve officer for the Flagler Beach Police Department; labor relations consultant and owner of Lawn Patrol Outdoor Services.
Joseph Sisti — Investigator for the State Attorney's Office; former assistant chief for St. Augustine Beach Police Department; corporal, sergeant and master sergeant, and captain for Flagler County Sheriff's Office.
Steve Clair — Former major with the Flagler County Sheriff's Office.
John R. Dance — Storm water and erosion control inspector for Halifax Paving; retired sergeant for Florida Highway Patrol
Matthew P. Doughney — Works for Stewart-Marchman-Act Behavioral Healthcare where his responsibilities include working with juveniles who suffer from substance abuse; former chief of Avon Park Police Department; former captain with the Daytona Beach Police Department.
Sterling M. Dutton, Jr — Lieutenant for special investigations and civil disturbance units, Charleston (S.C.) Police Department.

Introduction of A380 flights is being seen by Airbus as a precursor to "a new wave of orders" for the airliner. The European airframer's Asia Pacific executive sales vice president, Edouard Ullmo, said earlier this year there likely would be a hiatus as prospective A380 operators considered the aircraft's initial operations with Singapore Airways (SIA) before choosing between it and the Boeing 747-8I (or the smaller 777). Apparently in anticipation, in late September British Airways (BA) committed itself to 12 A380s, in the process securing delivery positions ahead of any new orders.
Major carriers not yet committed to future high-capacity long-haul equipment are Asian carriers Cathay Pacific, All Nippon Airways (which could plump for the 777 to join its Boeing 787s, for which it is launch customer) and Japan Airlines, and U.S. operators Northwest Airlines and United Airlines. Decisions are not expected in the short term, although February's Singapore Air Show might prove an irresistible opportunity for at least one Asian operator to speak up.
In west Asia, established Boeing operator Air India–recently merged with Indian Airlines–has been negotiating with Airbus and Boeing but reportedly favors the A380. The newly combined operation is awaiting delivery of more than 100 aircraft (of all sizes) previously ordered by its predecessor constituents to add its current total fleet of 110 aircraft.
Despite well-chronicled troubles with initial A380 final assembly, none of the 13 passenger-airline customers jumped ship–seemingly confirming industry recognition of the aircraft's potential to provide much-needed higher capacity and reduced seat-mile costs. In fact, the first three operators–SIA, Emirates and Australia's Qantas–are buying additional aircraft.
Perhaps the real test is how many current 747-400 operators Airbus can wrest from Boeing. After many stillborn attempts to develop a "new improved" variant, Boeing finally came to market with the -8I version with about 50 more seats and new more environmentally friendly engines.
Given the historic loyalty of its customers, Boeing will expect to retain many of them, if not most. Of 19 carriers flying more than ten 747-400 passenger variants, Germany's Lufthansa is alone in having adopted the 747-8I after having ordered the A380. Eight of these operators have chosen A380s rather than more 747s, the rest having so far nailed their colors firmly to the fence.
Meanwhile, Airbus expects to ship 13 A380s in 2008, 25 the following year and 45 in 2010–equivalent to almost one a week. Deliveries during 2008-10 are covered by firm orders (or options let by Airbus), suggesting that no positions are available for Ullmo's prospective new customers until 2011.
With the predicted increase in production, A380 equipment and systems suppliers are gearing up for higher manufacturing rates. Two months ago, wing-maker Airbus UK put its production force on notice to begin ramping up production with a resumption of its shift system after a period of day-work as Airbus cleared its backlog of rework on A380 electrical systems.
Earlier this year, John Leahy, Airbus chief operating officer for customers, spoke of "a lot of interest" in the A380 and expectations of business from at least two new customers during 2007. With BA now comfortably on board, this week here at Dubai, another carrier–possibly another Boeing scalp–could be added. Watch this space.

BlackBerry's Classic has been touted as the company's foray into the premium mid-end category. The Classic, now available for purchase in India, is an upgrade to the original BlackBerry Bold 9900.
With the BlackBerry Classic, the company aims to lure a certain section of consumers who still have a faith in the BlackBerry-made security driven phones. Priced at Rs. 31,900, the Classic appears to have impressive design coupled with a great keyboard, unmatched security and all-day battery life.
Recommended: Alcatel OneTouch Watch First Look
However, we're not sure whether the BlackBerry Classic's reach may go beyond the business community. Here's a quick look at the BlackBerry Classic in regards to its specs, features, usability and price.
Basically, the BlackBerry Classic is a larger version of the BlackBerry Bold. The Classic, as seen in pictures, is a solidly build handset. Plus, it has a stainless steel frame around the edges, and a rubber back cover that keeps the phone from slipping. The device, however, is still made out of plastic.
Recommended:Lenovo A6000 First Look: 4G On A Budget
It's hard to imagine BlackBerry without a physical keyboard. The BlackBerry Classic comes with a fantastic keyboard. It has the four straight rows of keys proved comfortable to type. There's also an optical touchpad that acts like a cursor.
The device sports a 3.5-inch LCD touchscreen display with Gorilla Glass 3 protection. It has a 720 x 720 pixel resolution and 1:1 aspect ratio. Well, the display appears to be aged and depressing in nature. If you want to use the BlackBerry Classic to watch movies, then you're wasting your time.
Software and Processor
The BlackBerry Classic runs the latest version of BlackBerry's mobile OS, v10.3.1. The UI seemed to be fairly fast and jittery free. The native OS offer an array of software features (Universal Search, BlackBerry Assistant and more) that are limited to BlackBerry 10 OS. Missing apps remains a challange for BlackBerry. The Classic is powered by a dual-core processor (Qualcomm), paired with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of on-board storage.
Camera and Battery
There's an 8MP rear-facing camera with auto focus and focus. The secondary camera is 2MP. Camera features include several modes, time shift and HDR.
The BlackBerry Classic is stuffed with a 2,515 mAh battery fitted inside. The battery is expected to last a full day, given the lower resolution display. Notably, you can also control the CPU and turn off data and location services.
Bottom Line
The BlackBerry Classic is a great device for loyal BlackBerry customers. Then there's the price of the BlackBerry Classic. We consider the BlackBerry Classic's price to be the biggest hurdle standing in the way of the success. The Classic is priced at Rs. 31,900, but as far as we're aware the Samsung Galaxy S5 easily overshadows the BlackBerry-made handset, at least, in terms of price and added specs.
The Classic is a very practical handset, but its price needs to come down sooner, then only the company can sell the device in large numbers.

West Ham Chairman David Gold says the club are hoping to expand the Olympic Stadium by the start of next season.
The club moved from the Boleyn Ground to the Stratford site at the start of this season, and have hosted crowds of over 50,000 in both games played at the stadium in the last week.
The Hammers played their football at the Boleyn for 112 years but have now relocated to the new venue to maximise revenues and play to bigger crowds.
Gold took to Twitter to inform fans that plans are in in place to increase the capacity from 60,000 to 66,000 but revealed that terms had not yet been agreed.
We are hoping to extend the capacity to 66,000 for the start of the 2017/18 season but it is not a done deal. dg https://t.co/y2VqCPs8od
— David Gold (@davidgold) August 9, 2016
The east London outfit have sold 52,000 season tickets for the new ground, a figure that puts them second only to Manchester United of the Premier League clubs..
For their games against Juventus and Domzale last week the capacity was 54,000 due to a licence.
In their Europa League qualifying win against Domzale last Thursday 53,914 fans attended and in the glamour friendly against Juventus 53,966 fans packed into the ground.
Gold also confirmed via Twitter that their first home Premier League, a week on Sunday against Bournemouth, has sold out for a full 60,000 spectators.
We had a license for 54,000 for the first two games and 60,000 for Bournemouth. They all sold out. dg https://t.co/Xc4nVX3gHf
— David Gold (@davidgold) August 9, 2016
Slaven Bilic will be hoping that he can improve upon his side's seventh placed finish in the Premier League this season, after challenging for a top four spot for large periods of the previous campaign.
In other West Ham news, Harry Redknapp says the club can reach top four with Dimitri Payet as their leader.

PHILADELPHIA – The Palestra will be the "House of Wrestling" one more time for the 2015-16 season as the University of Pennsylvania wrestling team is home for three duals over Valentine's Day weekend. The Quakers begin the weekend with a true test, hosting No. 15 Cornell on Saturday at 1 p.m. On Sunday, the Red and Blue host Columbia (1 p.m.) and Bucknell (3 p.m.) as part of Senior Day.
Saturday's dual with Cornell will be broadcast on both the Ivy League Digital Network and ESPN3. On Sunday, fans can watch the dual meets with the Lions and Bison on ILDN.
Setting The Stage …
The final weekend of Ivy League completion has the Quakers in range of 12th Ivy title. There is work to be done, for sure, and the Quakers will need some help but a pair of Ivy wins could lead to a banner being raised. Cornell and Princeton are each 3-0 in Ivy duals this season, while Penn enters are 2-1. With the Big Red taking on both the Quakers and Tigers, and both Penn and Princeton also wrestling Columbia this weekend, there's a lot still to be determined.
One-on-One Battles to Watch …
Individually, there are plenty of juicy matchups looming this weekend. Of course, all eyes will be on 184 pounds when Penn takes on Cornell. The Big Red are likely to line up Gabe Dean – the defending national champion and No. 1-ranked wrestler in the country. Dean is coming off a last weekend to Oklahoma State's Nolan Boyd – a wrestler Lorenzo Thomas pinned earlier this season. That loss was the first in 52 matches for Dean. Thomas enters the weekend ranked No. 15 and looking to turn the tides on an 0-6 record all-time against Dean.
Another match to watch for against the Big Red will be at 174 pounds. At the Southern Scuffle, Casey Kent defeated Brian Realbuto who entered the tournament ranked No. 1 in the country. Expect another close match with major impact on the team score as those two battle for the top seed at EIWAs.
The major matchups are not limited to Saturday. On Sunday, a Columbia team looking to cement its status as a team to watch at EIWAs will enter The Palestra. While no Lions are currently in Intermat's Top-20, Markus Scheidel is knocking on the door at 157. He enters the weekend with a 31-7 record and wins in 11 of his last 12 matches. Scheidel and May Bethea have not met previously, and the winner could crack the Top-20 next week. At 133 pounds, Caleb Richardson and Angelo Amenta will meet for the fourth time. Richardson is 2-1 against Amenta, but the win for Amenta came at EIWAs last season via a 6-4 decision.
Penn will wrap up the weekend with a Bucknell squad which has won four of its last five duals and has three wrestlers in Intermat's Top-20. Casey Kent will have another test awaiting him in No. 20 Rustin Barrick who enters the weekend with a 21-6 record and a perfect 12-0 mark in dual meets. At 149 pounds, C.J. Cobb will have a chance to avenge a 3-2 loss to Victor Lopez at last year's EIWA Championships.
Sending Out the Seniors ...On Sunday, the Penn Wrestling program will honor the five graduating seniors from the Class of 2016. Between the Columbia and Bucknell duals, Ray Bethea, C.J. Cobb, Eric Friedman, A.J. Murabito and Lorenzo Thomas will each be recognized for their efforts to further the Penn Wrestling tradition.

Less than a month after dominating Lake Forest 74-44, the Ripon College women's basketball team had its hands full with the Foresters last week Saturday.
It fell behind 20-8 after one quarter and trailed 26-14 with a little more than five minutes left in the first half. But it rallied for a 62-49 come-from-behind win.
The victory is the Red Hawks' fifth-straight and improves their record to 11-3 in the Midwest Conference and 13-6 overall.
"Lake Forest has good athletes and basketball players," Ripon head coach Lauren Johnson said. "We expected them to come out more aggressive than the first time we played them at their place.
"It was nice to see our players adjust their mindset and play from [after] the first quarter to eventually take control of the game."
The slow start against the Foresters (4-10 conference, 5-14 overall) was nothing new — despite it being worse this time around — as the Red Hawks trailed 13-12 after one quarter in the first meeting.
"We didn't defend, rebound or shoot well in the first 15 [minutes]," Johnson said of what went wrong early last week Saturday.
Read the full story, which includes information on the Red Hawks' comeback, in the Feb. 9, 2017 edition of the Ripon Commonwealth Press.

Data loss and breaches can cost businesses plenty in terms of lost productivity, lost revenue, damage to the brand, and expensive recovery efforts. But for healthcare providers, the stakes are even higher. Failure to adequately protect clinical and patient data literally could cost lives.
In the seven years since the federal government began offering incentives to healthcare providers to use electronic health records (EHRs), adoption has skyrocketed. In 2008, only 9.4% of U.S. hospitals had some kind of EHR system; by 2014, that climbed to 76%, according to the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT. In that same time frame, EHR adoption by private practices nearly doubled.
While storing most or all patient data electronically offers substantial clinical and operational benefits, it also introduces two kinds of risk. First, data can become lost or inaccessible if electrical outages or natural disasters destroy provider data centers. When clinicians lack information about patients—regarding severe allergies to certain medications, for example—the results can be fatal.
Second, data stored digitally can be hacked, hijacked, or stolen, exposing patients' medical, personal, and financial information and leaving providers vulnerable to ransomware attempts.
Indeed, healthcare systems are the top target of hackers these days. In a recent survey by the Heath Information and Management Systems Society, more than half of the hospital executives said their hospitals had been the target of a ransomware attempt in the past year.
As hospitals and private practices become even more reliant on EHRs, they must deploy comprehensive strategies and solutions to ensure that patient medical records, financial data, and identities are backed up and secured in the event of minor incidents, major disasters, and malicious individuals.
An effective data protection strategy for healthcare providers should include two crucial elements:
Automated, cloud-based backup. By having patient data automatically copied to off-site cloud storage facilities, providers can still have access to critical medical information should their EHRs be knocked offline by a hurricane or held ransom by hackers.
A disaster recovery plan and partner. When things go wrong, proper preparation can avert permanent disaster. But just as patients should rely on medical professionals for healthcare, hospitals and private practices should partner with an experienced disaster recovery services provider.
EHRs can offer healthcare providers easy and quick access to patient medical records, and in the long run should improve healthcare by enabling data sharing and collaboration among physicians and nurses. Thus, healthcare providers have a responsibility to make protecting patient data a top priority. Fortunately, the tools are there.
Acronis provides an extensive range of solutions and services to help protect valuable data. The Acronis Data Protection Platform includes cloud and local backup that works on multiple operating systems, system provisioning, storage and disk management, and the Acronis Disaster Recovery Service.

Algorithmix reNOVAtor Version for Pro Tools Mac OS X Makes NAMM debutHigh-resolution sound repair processor can remove unwanted disturbances without audibly affecting the original program (February 20, 2006)
reNOVAtor, previously released for PCbased DAWs, is now available for Mac users of Pro Tools AudioSuite platform. Valued by numerous recording, mastering, post-production and forensic audio engineers, this high resolution processor can remove unwanted disturbances without audibly affecting the original program, even if the impairment overlaps desired material. reNOVAtor works when all other conventional audio tools and editing tricks fail.
The live recording, film and video post-pro Pro Tools community will discover that the majority of audio material hopelessly tainted by annoying acoustic events can now be cleaned up and any remaining gaps automatically filled with seamless sound re-synthesized from the surrounding material. Whether its audience coughs or squeaky chairs, performance noises, feedback or howlround, falling keys or ringing cell phones, reNOVAtor will rescue the performance. The advanced, linear phase process works at all sample rates up to 384 kHz and is well suited for all release formats, including CD, SACD, DVD-V and DVD-A production. Plus, radio and television broadcasters are now able to air footage previously thought to be unusable.
reNOVAtor, with its revolutionary algorithms, is the only tool of its kind available worldwide for both platforms, Windows and Mac OS. Respected New Yorker recording and mastering engineer, Alan Silverman, writing in the October 2004 issue of Pro Audio Review stated that ?Algorithmix makes me a genius?I cannot see how reNOVAtor is anything less than an essential tool for the audio professional dealing with the kinds of major disturbances routinely found in finishing sound for film, television and records. Disturbances that would mar a beautiful performance or an otherwise perfect recording become ancient history.
The Mac OS version of reNOVAtor for Pro Tools AudioSuite is available now from Algorithmix and a worldwide network of representatives.
About Algorithmix
Algorithmix develops digital audio software and hardware for quality conscious third parties the world over. Its low distortion, high resolution digital audio algorithms are an essential part of many highly regarded OEM products. Based on its extensive professional experience, Algorithmix has also established a series of reference audio software products under its own brand.

Why the cuss are we just now seeing this video of an adorably disheveled George Clooney hollering his The Fantastic Mr. Fox lines into the back of an empty horse trailer? That's because the footage is part of the bonus features on the brand new Criterion Collection Blu-ray. The clip shows Clooney and his fellow cast members (including director Wes Anderson) abandoning the typical sound studio to record their dialogue on a farm for the 2009 stop-motion animated comedy. So that's why they sounded like they were having so much cussing fun. Anderson spoke to Vanity Fair about the unusual process back in 2009.
We went to a farm in Connecticut, which was a really fun way to do it. I don't think they usually bring the actors together into one place to record them for animated films. [...] We had most of the group. Some roles we hadn't cast yet at that point but we got as many as we could. We had George, and we had Bill Murray, and we had Wally Wolodarsky who plays the sidekick character [Kylie] and a bunch of other people. It was really like summer camp.
They acted it out. We video'd some parts of it but really it was less formal than that. The actors played it as if they were being filmed, but the microphone could come in close. For scenes that were outside, we did them outside, by a river, or in the woods. We went to different places that corresponded with what's in the scene.
My only complaint is that we don't get the rest of The Fantastic Mr. Fox cast recording in this clip. I'd give anything to see Bill Murray reading lines in a horse trailer or Meryl Streep crouched in the back of a hen house.

As Manchester City Council makes up to 2000 employees retire and the government tries to repeal the current age of retirement, just how are we to deal with an ageing workforce?
Doctor Doolittle had, in the midst of his menagerie, a bizarre creature called a Pushmi-pullyu. In effect, two opposite-facing llamas joined at the middle (there was no attempt made to explain how it went to the toilet), the creature earned its name by constantly being at odds with itself, both pushing and pulling at the same time, hence the name.
As metaphors go, it's pretty indispensable, especially in regards to British politics, which routinely contradicts itself. Take Manchester City Council. Today it announced that - owing to central government slashing its budget - 2000 employees were to be shown the door. Rather than make these compulsory, the council is hoping willing victims will either elect for redundancy or, if they're over 55, early retirement.
But what is this in Westminster? The very same central government has this day announced that it is going to do away with the default retirement age of 65, as it rather needs to save money too. So on the one hand, we have a branch of government trying to get rid of old people from the workplace, which the main tree is doing all it can to keep them toiling away for as long as possible.
This is of course a huge contradiction. The government is in effect saying that it needs to save money on pensions by keeping people in their jobs but its knee-jerk reaction is to 'persuade' people out of their jobs and save money that way too. None of this makes sense until you remember that the oldest and the youngest always get it first (usually because the lot in the middle is in charge) and that false economies are a long and noble British tradition.
For as Miriam O'Reilly's recent victory against an ageist BBC shows, we do not have a healthy relationship with older people. This is in part because short sighted self-interest comes to the fore, but it's also rooted in history. The problem lies in our remaining in a post-1945 mindset where life expectancy was lower than it was today. In fact, it averaged out at 65.84, which was rather obviously good news for all concerned as more would be paid in tax and national insurance than was taken out. Now, with our life expectancy in the mid to high 70s, the cost is considerably higher.
Yet our attitudes to age have not changed alongside this because the system hasn't. Every adult born since 1945 has grown up with the familiar site of over-65s retiring, claiming their pensions and then leaving their jobs behind to younger generations who would inherit and then pass them on in turn, with comforting predictability. However, the old certainties are in decline.
Take medical technology. The last 65 years have seen the average life expectancy go up by almost 14 years. As we become healthier and that medical technology continues to advance, this could - by 2075 - be over 85. That's a long time to be paying someone a pension.
Not only that, but we are also staying fitter and healthier for longer too. In 1945 the implied message of retiring at 65 was that you were physically burnt out. By contrast, a 2011 retiree has decades of free time ahead of them. Ever-growing numbers of these older people will effect the society they live in. Their tastes and needs will define our consumer and popular culture - indeed, OlderIsWiser.com itself is a result of this new reality.
A possible future can be seen now in Japan. Here an ever-growing number of centenarians and, more pertinently , older people needing care means not only has consumerism changed to meet this new demographic, but it has even inspired technological developments, like exoskeletons designed to boost the strength of nurses who need to lift elderly patients or - more bizarrely - a drive towards developing robotics as a source of nursing 'staff' when the labour pool inevitably shrinks. Suffice to say, the numbers of older workers and political activists have increased too, and this has begun to influence Japan itself as a result.
Of course, the Japanese experience is not necessarily our future. Its history of longevity and its present population decline, not to mention underlying cultural assumptions, are quite different from ours. Nonetheless, it isn't hard to foresee a future where large numbers of older workers, who are either healthy enough or artificially augmented enough to keep working (and indeed living) long after 65.
In the meantime, we must ask ourselves whether the old are a barrier or a resource worth tapping. As our society continues to age, the decision may soon be out of our hands.

Tap, Inject, and Each_With_Object
I realized the other day that, while I've been using Object#tap, Enumerator#each#with_object, and Enumerable#each_with_object for some time now, I wasn't completely clear on the difference between these methods or how best to employ them. Mostly I just threw in Object#tap wherever I saw sandwich code and called it a day.
Time for a…
A good place to start is Ruby Docs for the method definitions:
Object#tap -
Yields self to the block, and then returns self. The primary purpose of this method is to "tap into" a method chain, in order to perform operations on intermediate results within the chain.
Enumerable#each_with_object -
Iterates the given block for each element with an arbitrary object given, and returns the initially given object.
If no block is given, returns an enumerator.
Enumerable#inject -
Combines all elements of enum by applying a binary operation, specified by a block or a symbol that names a method or operator.
If you specify a block, then for each element in enum the block is passed an accumulator value (memo) and the element. If you specify a symbol instead, then each element in the collection will be passed to the named method of memo. In either case, the result becomes the new value for memo. At the end of the iteration, the final value of memo is the return value for the method.
If you do not explicitly specify an initial value for memo, then the first element of collection is used as the initial value of memo.
I'll start with this one, mostly because it's the one that I have thrown around the most with the least amount of thought. So far I've mostly just used it for refactors like this: (cue extremely contrived example…)
class Human
attr_accessor :age
def can_drive?
age >= 16
# Sandwich code
mason = Human.new
mason.age = rand(1..100)
# tapped
mason = Human.new.tap { |person| person.age = rand(1..100) }
On a personal note, I'm feeling conflicted about this method lately. I like that it eliminates the need to explicitly return the 'Human' object. I like it aesthetically, it reads cleanly to my eye, but sometimes it feels a bit like using it just to use it. Maybe even a bit trivial. Not everyone instantly recognizes it and it actually seems to obfuscate your intended return value a bit. Anyway…
While the above implementation certainly works, reading the documentation it isn't quite the use for which the method was designed.
"The primary purpose of this method is to "tap into" a method chain."
It may clean up the code but maybe the
#tap method is better reserved for cases where returning the original object provides a bit more function:
mason = Human.new
mason.age = rand(1..100)
# or
mason = Human.new.tap { |person| person.age = rand(1..100) }.can_drive?
Here the return value of
person.age = rand(1..100) is an integer and
#can_drive? is a method on an instance of the class
Human. Without
#tap you would not be able to chain these methods together. This feels like a better use case to me; the
#tap method serves a more significant purpose, allowing you to assign a variable name, an age, and call an instance method on a class all in one shot.
So this one is a bit different but kind of in the same vein. It's in the Enumerable module so we know that
#each_with_object is called on some kind of collection, like an array or a hash, and iterates through the items in the collection, just like the plain-old
#each method. What puts
#each_with_object in the family of
#tap is the
...with_object bit. It allows us to pass in an arbitrary object and return that object from the method. Where
#tap is called on the object you wish to return,
#each_with_object takes the return object as an argument. For me the importance is the concept. It couples the iteration and the return.
my_strings = ['hello', 'destiny', 'how', 'are', 'the', 'wife', 'and', 'kids']
# with tap
[].tap { |collector| my_strings.each { |word| collector << word.upcase } }
# or for better readability
[].tap do |collector|
my_strings.each do |word|
collector << word.upcase
# with each_with_object
my_strings.each_with_object([]) { |word, collector| collector << word.upcase }
So, rather than iterating through the collection with
#tap's block we implicitly iterate through the collection. I've seen
#tap used this way but to my eye
#each_with_object more clearly and succinctly communicates what you seek to accomplish. If performance is critical, go ahead and use
#tap this way, otherwise maybe
#each_with_object might help out those developers coming behind you.
Enumberable.each.with_object functions exactly the same as
#each_with_object and might even be more clear in its' link with iterating over a collection.
Enumerable#inject aka Enumerable#Reduce
This is the odd-ball of the group. The idea is that you have an object (noted as the
memo_object in the documentation) to which some sort of changes are applied based on the objects over which you are iterating. The simplest examples is addition:
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5].inject { |memo_object, number | memo_object = memo_object + number }
# => 15
#inject comes in two flavors, taking a symbol or a block, and each of those flavors can also optionally take an initial value as an argument. If no initial value is passed, the first object in the collection becomes the initial value by default.
Passed a symbol:
# => 20
# or equivalently -> [2,4,6,8].reduce(:+)
# Takes 2 as the initial value,
# add 4 to it, returns 6 to the next
# iteration. Takes the 6 returned to the
# second iteration, adds 6 to it, returns
# 12 to the next iteration...
# Passed a symbol and an initial value
[2,4,6,8].inject(10, :+)
# => 30
# Takes 10 as the initial value,
# adds 2 to it, and returns 12 to
# the next iteration...
Passed a block:
my_strings = ['hello ', 'destiny ', 'how ', 'are ', 'the ', 'wife ', 'and ', 'kids?']
# Passed a block
my_strings.inject { |sentence, word| sentence + word.capitalize }
# => "hello Destiny How Are The Wife And Kids?"
# Passed a block and an initial value
my_strings.inject("Oh, ") { |sentence, word| sentence + word.capitalize }
# => "Oh, Hello Destiny How Are The Wife And Kids?"
So I accidentally came up with a better example than I thought for passing a block without an initial value since it demonstrates that nothing is done to the first object in the collection. It is passed straight to the block execution for the next object in the collection as the memo object.
There's one more layer to
#inject. The return value of the method execution is the return value of the last execution of the block, not the memo object.
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5].inject do |sum, number|
if number != 5
sum += number
# => nil
if number != 5; sum +=5; end returns nil when
number == 5, the last object in the collection, the return value of the entire method is nil. You could do something kinda ugly like this:
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5].inject do |sum, number|
if number != 5
sum += number
# => 10
but at that point maybe you're better off just using a different method like:
sum = 0
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5].each do |number|
if number != 5
sum += number
# => 10
At least it's a bit more obvious at first glance what you want back.
The Inspiration
Here's the cool bit that got me thinking about these method, specifically #inject. I ran into a problem where I had a hash and I needed to return a hash with mutations applied to both the keys and values in the original hash. Changing values is easy. Changing keys takes a bit more work.
You could update the keys in place by iterate through the keys, create new mutated key and value pairs, and delete the old pair:
markup = 1.1
toys = {
"rubber_ducky" => 5,
"slinky" => 3,
"lawn_dart" => 7
toys.keys.each do |name|
toys[name.upcase.to_sym] = toys[name] * markup
You could use the Enumerable#map method to pass arrays of key value pairs to the Hash literal:
new_prices = Hash[ toys.map do |name, price|
[name.upcase.to_sym, price * markup]
Or you could use the inject method to pass around a hash and merge new key-value pairs into it.
toys.inject({}) do |newly_priced, (name, price)|
newly_priced.merge( name.upcase.to_sym => price * markup )
I'd be wary of mutating the original array by mutating the keys, assigning the new keys values, and deleting the old keys. If I were to use simple iteration to solve this problem I would probably instantiate a new hash and assign that hash key value pairs from within the each block. Nothing fancy, but it works.
Using the Hash literal and #map looks a bit odd to me. I haven't seen anyone build hashes this way. The #map inside of the Hash literal is confusing unless you recall that #map always returns an array and that passing arrays of two objects to the Hash literal creates key-value pairs. This solution feels like it is asking a bit more of the next developer to come along than the other options.
Now #inject… I like this one. I like it despite the fact that IT ASKS A LOT!!! of the developers to follow and many things happens in very few lines, buuuuut it's a pretty slick piece of code. And sometimes I am a sucker for a slick piece of code. So, what does it assume? Well, you have to know:
What #inject is.
That with #inject you have a memo object to pass to each execution of the block.
That the key-value pairs in toys are passed into the block as an array.
That you can use parenthesis and multiple assignment to make the block take only two arguments (the memo and the array containing the key and value) and instantly set the value of name and price.
That the return value of the #inject method is the return value of the last execution of the block, so you have to return the hash object from the block.
And finally, that you can add key-value pairs to a hash using the Hash#merge method, essentially taking the key-value assignment as a mini-hash and merging it into the existing hash. Maybe this would be a bit more clear:
newly_priced.merge( {name.upcase.to_sym => price * markup} )
markup = 1.1
toys = {
"rubber_ducky" => 5,
"slinky" => 3,
"lawn_dart" => 7
require 'benchmark'
Benchmark.bmbm do |x|
toys.keys.each do |name|
toys[name.upcase.to_sym] = toys[name] * markup
toys.each.with_object({}) do |(toy, price), newly_priced|
newly_priced[toy] = price * markup
x.report('#map/Hash Literal'){
new_prices = Hash[
toys.map do |name, price|
[name.upcase.to_sym, price * markup]
toys.inject({}) do |newly_priced, (name, price)|
newly_priced.merge( name.upcase.to_sym => price * markup )

The #each statement takes it! But I didn't expect to incur such a performance penalty using #each.with_object. 3.1x! Ouch. The slick looking #inject maybe isn't so slick, finishing in 1.6x what it took #each to complete. Maybe because #each is such a common method it has been highly optimized? I don't have the answer. If speed is your game maybe the obvious route is the best.

Katie Brand Blog - Exceeding Wildest Dreams
Katie Brand Blog - Exceeding Wildest Dreams
Senior Katie Brand is currently with the U.S. Collegiate National Team on a 12-day tour of China, with stops in Shanghai, Nanjing, Beijing and other cities in between. She will check in periodically throughout the two weeks, sharing her experiences of not only high-level volleyball but the Chinese culture as well. For the first post, please click here.
I'm back with more y'all!
I left off with the start of our first gameday here in China, and it was a thriller! It took place in Jintan where over 2,000 fans packed the arena. We were playing the number-two ranked professional team in China, and they played with incredible speed and accuracy, precisely placing the ball to create chaos for us with each attack. They took the first two sets by storm, but c'mon, when have you ever seen the USA give up? We came out firing in the third set and kept them under 15. The fourth and fifth sets were a dogfight, but ultimately, we left with the win!
The next morning, tired and sore, we hopped on a bus to Lishui. Once there, we dined, practiced, snoozed, and geared up for our second match. A smaller city, with a slightly smaller fan base, made it easier to breathe in the arena. A few times, however, I went back to serve and sucked in a lung full of cigarette smoke as the crowd behind me puffed away. Talk about adversity. Thankfully, we played the same team as the night before, so this time, after an in-depth film review, we were ready. We took the win in four sets, and the second my head hit the pillow when we got back to the hotel, I was out.
Bright and early the next day, we were on the move again. This time to the city of Nanjing. Spoiler, it's been my absolute favorite city thus far! We went straight to the Nanjing Massacre Museum upon arrival. I was nowhere near prepared for what I witnessed. In 1937, the Japanese army invaded Nanjing and went on a six-week raid of the city and killing over 300,000 people. The museum was built around the remains of some of the victims, and my heart will never forget what I saw. One of our travel guides, Sandy Vaughn - an absolute legend in the volleyball world – remembered being 12 years old and living two hours away from the attack. The perspective he was able to add as a living witness made it real for me.
It was clear once we left, practice had to be canceled that day. Our minds were too full and our hearts were too heavy. So instead, we ate at a Vietnamese restaurant that had us trying some dishes I could have never even dreamed up in America. Once full, we left to settle in at our hotel, which had to been created for royalty! Between the mall in the basement equipped with Burberry, Michael Kors, Louis Vuitton, Dolce & Gabanna, and many, many more, plus the sensational spa on the fourth floor, and the game room on the eighth, of which the ping pong table was utilized, it is insane!
Once settled in, we boarded our double decker bus to an elementary school in the heart of the city. I sat on the upper level in the front of the bus, and I've decided that's my new favorite carnival ride. Driving in China is like one giant game of chicken, and our bus driver was FEARLESS! By the grace of God, we arrived safely, only clipping the heels of a handful of pedestrians on the way. I completely forgot about my exhilarating ride though once I met the children. They were all geared up in their volleyball uniforms and ready to learn. Their parents all surrounded the court, cameras in hand. Our only form of communication was our love of the game which allowed us to bond instantly and made me feel right at home. By far, my favorite experience of this trip. I will never forget how those kids looked up at us, how eager they were to learn, or how the simple love of a game made this all possible. We exchanged gifts at the end and off we went with memories that will last a lifetime.
The staff gave us that night off to explore the city, and boy, were we excited. We walked all around what reminds me of the Asian version of Times Square. We window shopped until we found the most American looking burger around. We sat in the restaurant for hours savoring our food, telling stories, laughing until we cried, and all the while not noticing how quickly we were becoming, not just the best of friends, but teammates. It's in those small moments something beautiful is happening - we're forming bonds built on trust that changes this experience from a team of strangers representing the USA, to a family fighting for one another and pulling each other along when we need it. It brought a smile to my face as it reminded me of my family in purple back home. Our laughs carried us off into the night as we joked up and down the streets on Nanjing, and we ended the evening back in the hotel, snuggled up to watch another Chinese movie we could only pretend to understand. But I've learned from this trip it's not what you spend your time doing, it's who you spend it with that makes it so enjoyable.
This tour of China has already exceeded all of my wildest dreams, and I can't wait to see where it takes me next! I'll be sure to check in again soon!

Ah, the Creepypasta Land Wiki. A treasure trove of Riff worthy crap. Like the story I'm Riffing now, "Fatal Scream: The Killer." Since there's not much I can say about it, let's ditch quotation marks and use greater than and less than signs, and Riff this bitch.
Night is the time where everything is dark. What a shock! What other observation will you come up with? That water is wet? The stars are never bright enough to light up the black world. Blame light pollution. The full moon maybe has a chance to shine through the black, creating a dull light that is sometimes fading away, being killed by the clouds. Animals who look normal at daytime, turn into dark shadows Barnabus? which creep through the woods, bringing fear to the humans who search for adventure in the nighttime.
There was once a city. "Now it's a small town." Skyscrapers threw shadows over the smaller buildings. The people there had a careless life. Everyone had a job. Especially people who hired prostitutes…if you know what I mean. Everyone had a house. Kids were also living there. The school had good students. Everything seemed to be perfect. But no. "Doug fucked it all up." A few humans knew some horrible things. They read "Sonic.exe" too? They said that they saw two moving lights. Color, a bright white. They 'floated' over the streets, moved in a barely unseen speed. Kids told their parents that they heard horrible screams which woke them up from their sleep. The adults didn't believe what their children told them. Just once, I'd like to see an adult believe a kid in a horror story. They just smiled, saying it happened in their dreams. Time passed. Panic was slowly spreading across the peoples faces. "Urine was spreading across their pants." Something happened that almost shocked everyone. It almost shocked everyone. It was close to doing so, but failed. City dwellers were murdered or so it seemed. "In truth, it was all an elaborate prank." The police said that they had no wounds. But blood would stream out of their eyes which were turned back into their head. Because it isn't Creepypasta without blood coming out of someone's eyes. Also out of their ears and nose. No one could explain that. I think anime explains the nosebleeds. The humans tried to forget.
The five of their own kind that lost their lives were forgotten. Nothing happened for a long time. Peace came back. Everyone lived their normal, old life again. Oh, people died and created a mass panic. Eh, whatever. But then the peace was suddenly broken. A group of teenagers went out at night, visited a club. Of course, it has to be teenage assholes who disturb the peace. It was ten minutes before midnight. They needed over ten minutes to get home...but no one knew that they would never make it home ever again. Spoiler alert! Careless like they were, the six of them walked through the streets and talked with eachother. About school, their relationships, if they had one. "Everyone was in a relationship except for Bruce. Bruce is a very lonely guy." How everything was going so well. The 16-17 year old human beings heard a noise. Looked at one another for a moment, they just shrugged it off. 'Probably just a stray cat.' They said. Out of nowhere, these poor young people started screaming like they would be stabbed by a knife. Sadly it wasnt a knife. Oh, drat. I was hoping they were being stabbed to death. No. The wound would be able to heal with good treatment. Yeah, because I'm sure being stabbed in, say, the neck is easily healed. The fate of them was worse. Probably the worst. They have to find stories to Riff? A deep red liquid splashed out of their eyes, ears and nose. They're leaking Kool-Aid! An unheard infra sound destroyed their brain system. I don't know whether to be annoyed at "unheard infra sound" or "brain system." Eh, I'll be pissed at both. It caused nerves to be torn apart. And the ear drum went crazy until it burst. The eyes spinned backwards and showed no pupils anymore. >> Time. Is. Up. << What the fuck? Why are there greater than and less than symbols? A dark figure stepped out of the back alley.
The bright, white, shining eyes reflected the streetlights. They seemed related to a cat's eyes. Oh no, it's Halle Berry as Catwoman! Run! Those orbs looked blind..with slitted pupils. >> You. Didn't. Play. By. The. Rules. << This is why you never use cheat codes. The voice echoed. A sinister tone out of a wide bloody grin. Noises were heard, as if water was dripping. But instead of this clear fluid, a red juice, blood, Because it's not Creepypasta without blood made its way down the creatures mouth, throat and chest. The cause of the blood out of the throat, were the spikes of the collar which were turned towards the windpipe. They pierced through. That was kind of assumed, but whatever. There was a deep scratch that reached deep into his chest, close to the lungs and heart. It colored the black clothing to be partially red. The mouth was bloody, because this monster was the one who let out that deadly sound. Gasp! The screech caused the dark red blood of the stabbed throat to come up. The legs and head of the boy looking beast were covered in scars. His ears formed like the ones of an elf. Such a strange mix. >> Midnight. Is. The. Deadline. << He spoke. Quotation marks are a thing, you know. Orange hair shimmering in the fainting light of the street lamps. The grin wouldn't fade. Because it's not Creepypasta without a – oh, fuck it. Instead of that, it widened. Chriis. Um, I think you have one I too many. Yes. That was his name. Stepping closer again, his shoes would come in contact with the red stuff that was flowing out of the human's heads. >> Such. Weakness. Very pathetic. Wow. << His voice shook from the chuckling under his ice cold breath. >> Only. My. Rules. Count. << The words seemed to get lost for a moment as Chriis suddenly stood at the other side of the dead pile. The light then didn't shine in his eyes, the orbs would turn a dull black. Not being blinded. He left the corpses of the teenagers behind. Ever notice how most bad horror stories end up killing off teenagers? He walked away and whistled. The next dawn broke. There was no track of Chriis. The police could only find the long dead teenagers. Again, without an explanation, they had to tell the people in the city the bad news. "Thankfully, these kids were assholes, so everyone was happy." Relatives of the dead ones mourned for them. This massacre went on for months. Until this city turned into a lifeless place. Wait, so misspelled Chris killed everyone in a city? The victims never knew when their turn to say goodbye was. The last people who remained, moved out into another city. Soon the news on the TV got panic. "Panic was shipped into the TV studios." Many unexplained deaths occurred, not only in one single city.
Almost this whole area. And so it went on until a 13 year old kid walked through the streets and alleys at night. Knowing how dangerous it was. "This kid died very soon." Yes. Chriis was also following this innocent child. Chriis, stop being a pedophile. The clock on the big tower turned midnight. A loud bell noise is heard. >> Game. Over. << The killer whispered, snickering. Game? Oh no, it's a haunted game! To his surprise, the 13 year old turned around, seemed to stare directly into Chriis direction. A hello was heard from the child. Chriis froze. How? How was it able to see him? He isn't. He's just a weirdo. Without another noise, he appeared right infront of the kid. >> You. Saw. Me. You. Shall. Die. Special. << The child just stared. No emotion shown in it's face. >> WhAtS iT wItH yOu !!!<< Really? You're randomly doing the cap-lowercase thing? Doomsayer, show them how it's done. No. FuCk YoU. Fine. Jerk. The orange haired guy yelled, his voice sounded like a lag. "Sounded like a lag"? So it sounded like an angry gamer screaming at his/her gaming platform. He grabbed the kids head, and smashed it with all his strength into the concrete ground, causing the skull to shatter and the kid to die. The innards of the head laid all over the place. Head innards are known as a brain. Chriis was nowhere to be seen. After this strange meeting, the killing got worse. Headless people would be found, or pinned to walls by random objects. Did things ever come to a head? And so it went on again. Be careful when you go out at midnight...or you'll fall asleep by a nice lullaby... I usually fall asleep to the Mystery Science Theater 3000 movie. This isn't a joke.
This story sucks. It doesn't make much sense, it's poorly written, and it relies on quite a few Creepypasta cliches (Clichepasta?). Also, why the hell were Chriis' (seriously, what a stupid name. It's Chris with an extra i) lines of dialogue bordered by greater than and less than symbols? Does the writer understand that quotation marks are a thing? Whatever. This story sucks, plain and simple.
So, what do you guys think? Is this story good? Is the Riff good? Do you wish Chriis would kill me? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.
