Hi guys, I am hoping that someone has been down this route before and hopefully succeeded!
I find myself in exactly the same issue as from this link below
However, for the life of me, I just cannot believe that this is the solution to the problem!!!

Did the solution work for you?
Aug 10, 2011 at 9:02 UTC
No, I did not even bother mounting a HALF AP on the wall; it just looks so agry when you remove the 5GHZ module which is essentially the whole bottom part of the AP!! I honestly cannot believe that CISCO of all companies in the universe DONT have simple clean solution!

What is the blink code the AP is displaying?

Can you plug the AC transformer in near the AP? Even temporary? Then go and get a Cisco power injector and this may solve your problems. If you cable length is longer than 80m a local power plug may be your only bet, since you are loosing too much voltage over the cable run.
You may want to check into the PoE switch see if you can control the amount of current sent to the AP. Some PoE switches are adjustable.
Aug 10, 2011 at 12:41 UTC
I'm using HP 2520 PoE switch and I'm sure the power can be controlled. I have two other similar APs which don't use POE and they are fine. So clearly the PoE is the problem... I will have to look into what's Recommended power, anyone got a suggestion?

Aug 10, 2011 at 3:08 UTC
what is your distance between the switch and the AP?
Some switches can control the amount of current sent to the PoE device. To find the current load look on the AP or the docs, it should tell you something like 48volts at 700watts (I just made up the wattage. Set your switch accordingly. Some switches limit the wattage because the power is shared among all ports.
Aug 10, 2011 at 3:37 UTC
The distance between AP and comms cab where PoE is, is about 25 to 30 metres. I will check the the AP docs, but I remember that when I was configure the switch PoE, it had some facility (can't recall the exact tech setting name) to automatically detect and adjust power as set and configured on the AP... I will look into this again tomorrow when I get back to work and let you know.
Aug 11, 2011 at 1:56 UTC
back at work... The Power setting on both PoE and AP are as recommended. The AP is set to MAX power which is 17 as you can see on the screen shots. The PoE is set to automatically use whatever power that has been configured on the AP.
Aug 11, 2011 at 7:36 UTC
Just for clarity, the AP screen shot is in reference to transmitter power (antenna) not power consumption.
You need to look at the specs for the AP. It will tell you how much power it consumes. The number on the switch looks like an index number, 17 == ??? mw.
Have you tried to plug the AP into a power brick. It may be possible that you have a bad AP too? You should have no problems running PoE over a 30m cable. If it was close to 100m I might understand about line loss. Just make sure the total mw used for ALL devices don't overload the power capacity of the procurve. But I would think that all PoE devices would have a problem if this was the case.
Aug 11, 2011 at 7:46 UTC
I just looked at the procurve manual.
Here is what it says:
Depending on power demands, lower-priority ports on a switch with high PoE power demand may occasionally lose power due to the demands of higher-priority ports. (Refer to "Power Priority Operation" for further details.) If the PoE demand becomes greater than the available power, the switch transfers power from lower-priority ports to higher-priority ports. (Ports not currently providing power to PDs are not affected.)
From reading this, if you have other PoE devices on this switch, plug the AP into the lowest port # on the switch. That will give it the greatest chance of getting all of the power. There also should be a screen that shows how much power is actually being consumed by the AP on that port.
Aug 11, 2011 at 9:03 UTC
At present there are only two APs connected to this PoE switch, the other AP which is a 1230 is working fine... so there is nothing to cause high power demand on the switch. If you look at the screen that I sent 17 is according to the AP help guide, "
Transmitter Power (mW)
This setting determines the power level of the radio transmission. The default power setting is the highest transmit power allowed in your regulatory domain."
I am going to reconfigure the PoE to use lowest priority and see what happens. I think the issues lies with the other three 5HZ radios which we don't use here in the UK.
Aug 11, 2011 at 9:27 UTC
status blinks red,green,blue
What is the blink code the AP is displaying?
I found the table I was looking for. Please consider checking out table 13-3 at
As for the PoE, from a VoIP discussion several months back, I think the PoE switch and the AP will try to "negotiate" the proper current level on their own. (I think the CDP protocol is responsible for this.)
That you have one working AP and the other does not, could it be broken? Have you plugged the "bad" ap into the "working" ap port just to verify the AP is working? (ie physically broken)
Aug 11, 2011 at 10:14 UTC
The table doe not list the status that I am getting; Red, Green and Blue... The two APs are different models, the 1230 is an older model which does not have 5GHZ Radio modules unlike 1252 which is causing me the problem... I will try another 1252 and see what happens. HP switches don't use CDP, so I think the cause could well be the 5GHZ radio modules....
Aug 11, 2011 at 11:30 UTC
I have tested with another 1252 AP and it is the same. Also set the power priority level to LOW in vain.
Nov 30, 2011 at 11:55 UTC
Just to update everyone, latest Cisco IOS release for 1252 when applied makes the red LED go away which somewhat comforting, however, the insufficient message does not go way from the AP log... I must admit that this warning has not caused any performance related issues in my environment...
The solution to get the warning to go is basically to use any PoE that can deliver up to 30W per port. I have ordered HP 2620 PLUS which I am reliably advised that does just that. I will inform you again once I have used it...

Sending data to scripts using script parameters and script variables is an extremely powerful technique that every developer, whether a beginner or expert, should know how to do. It enables you to create dynamic scripts that can be reused throughout your entire solution. Up until now there have been two main techniques to send data to a script. The first is to separate your data between some type of marker, such as the pipe character "|", which requires exact parsing to obtain your data. The second is to send your data on separate lines and parse the contents with the MiddleValues function. This is a much easier technique. The problem with both of these approaches is that your data must be in an exact order for your script to parse it correctly. Using a simple custom function, with the old-school FileMaker Middle and Position functions, you can create a dynamic XML-like parsing function that allows you to specify your data in any order.

Inside each one of us is a budding humorist
We know the feeling. You're watching Saturday Night Live or Studio C and it hits you. The perfect idea for a sketch! You immediately tell your friends and family but, wouldn't you know it, they just don't seem to understand how funny your idea could be!
No more. At the Sketch Comedy Summer Workshop, you will equip yourself with the tools you need to turn a blank piece of paper into a load of laughs. You'll work with seasoned comedians from BYU's Divine Comedy, learn from amazing humorists from some of your favorite comedy groups, write your own content, and perform brilliantly in front of a live audience.
Comedy can, and must, be learned and refined. Join us this summer and start your journey as a comedian.
What's the workshop like?
The workshop is two weeks long. In the first week, we spend a lot of time on teaching you how to come up with comedy-rich topics and then develop them into full sketches. We will teach you how to write a sketch, what a good sketch script looks like, and how to revise your material into top notch funny. In the second week, we'll select sketches from the material produced during the first week to be featured in our end of workshop show: the Sketch Comedy Spectaculum. We'll spend most of the second week rehearsing for the show so that come that final performance, you'll perform your best.
In the evenings, we'll have special activities that let you see a wide range of comedic styles and performances or build skills that will come in handy when you're in front of a crowd that wants to laugh.
What kind of skills will I learn?
Among other things, you can expect to learn a lot more about the following areas of comedy:
- Recognizing funny ideas
- Improv skills
- Secrets of good dialogue
- Taking advantage of sketch structure
- Comedic timing and performance
- Making lame ideas into awesome ideas
- Character work
- The power of being topical
- Knowing your audience
- And much much more
For Parents
Why would I want my kids to learn comedy? They're already too smart-alecky for my taste.
Fair point. But fortunately, smart-alecky behavior isn't what we teach. Our curriculum focuses on learning a wide variety of comedic techniques and when to use each one. A lot of amateur comedians suffer from poor delivery or poor timing. You may just find that after attending the workshop your kids will be better at one of the comedy's most important skills: when not to tell a joke.
But what if they just want to be comedians? How will they support a family? Who will take care of me when I'm old? I won't go to a nursing home. I won't do it!
Another fair point. But don't worry! Learning more about comedy writing means developing a whole group of skills that are essentially important for any life path. Some of those skills include:
- Not taking themselves too seriously
- Working well with others and in groups
- Critical/analytical thinking
- Problem Solving
- Fighting procrastination
- Rolling with the punches
- Thinking on their feet
- Developing a humble confidence
- Writing skills
But what if I do want my kid to become a comedian?
Oh. Then just sign up. It's that easy.
I'd like to learn more details about the camp, like when it is, where do they go, what they should bring, what they will eat, how to deal with paparazzi after they're done, etc...
Please check out our Frequently Asked Questions and our Registration pages. They should have everything you need to know. If you still have questions, feel free to reach out to us by email and we'll get back to you right away.

I have a physical DC box, tiny C drive, large D drive and I am going to convert to a vm via vcenter
In terms of the C drive, can this be increased once converted?
6 Replies
Nov 30, 2011 at 11:55 UTC
Yes, please see this link:
Hope that helps.
Nov 30, 2011 at 12:15 UTC
Yes once it's converted to a VM you can configure the disc size.
Nov 30, 2011 at 12:23 UTC
No problem there you can resize it as you p2v it. I've done it a couple of times. It is kind of tricky to get the vmconverter switched to allow you to change the disk size on conversion, but you can resize all disks.

Just a forewarning, but I've never had a DC hot-clone successfully. I've always had to shut it down and use VMware's cold-clone CD.
Nov 30, 2011 at 3:15 UTC
VMware also recommends that you demote it to a member server before virtualizing and then promote it back to a DC after. The following link describes the issue and resolution. It's a little dated but I think it still applies.
Nov 30, 2011 at 6:23 UTC
Piling on with agreement. Best practice is to NOT clone DCs. dcpromo it once it's virtualized.

It's widely accepted that the UK alone will need a million new engineers by 2020, and on historic trends that's a real concern.
The future always belongs to the young. Their energy and skills are among the most important resources we have. We are working to help young people realise this potential, to help us make a better future together.
We are active in many areas of formal education, nurturing the technical and engineering skills we'll need to address future energy challenges.
Low female participation is still a big problem. That's why we're making big efforts to encourage more young women to follow science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) courses, and be inspired by the opportunities offered through a future in engineering, at every level.
Create the future is part of the Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering, a UK-based initiative which celebrates engineering design projects that have brought a global benefit to humanity. Create the future picks up on these achievements to inspire young people (and particularly young women) to take up engineering careers. We are a founding donor, and National Grid people including CEO Steve Holliday have taken high profile roles to explain how much needs to be done, and can be done.

As a wide-ranging programme in the US and Canada which encourages young women to be "strong, smart and bold" Girls Inc. has a natural interest in urging participation in science and engineering at school. We work with Girls Inc. to fund STEM programmes in Lynn and Worcester, MA and in Schenectady and Albany NY for girls ages 12-18.
For many young people science has an image problem, dry or perhaps academic. It doesn't have to look that way which is why in the US we're sponsoring six high school teams in New York and Massachusetts to build basketball-playing robots. Part of the FIRST Robotics competition, the students work together (and compete against the other teams) to design, build and program 5ft/120 lb robots that can dribble and shoot. Mixing sport, engineering and just a touch of science fiction it's a brilliant way to open eyes to the excitement and value of science and engineering careers. Meanwhile in the UK we sponsor the VEX Robotics programme. It's a national initiative which works as a gateway to an international competition, encouraging teenage students to solve engineering problems using sensors, motors, 3D modelling software and remote control gadgetry. Robotics is not yet part of the UK school curriculum, so the clubs happen after school, and even on this purely voluntary basis have found an enthusiastic take-up. To find out if your school is eligable to recieve a grant for VEX Robotics equipment.

Weight loss isn't easy, and neither is choosing a tracker to help you do it– trust me, I know! Having been on the winning and losing sides of the scale, I understand first-hand how crucial and exasperating it can be to choose the right wearable. If it doesn't fit your exact needs and propel you forward toward your goal, the it is a wasted investment, and worse, a missed opportunity to become healthier. So while Fitbit's new Blaze device is exceptional, that doesn't necessarily mean it's better, especially when comparing it to the Garmin Vivoactive.
Both are quality devices, but there are some marked differences in key areas, like GPS and styling, that need to be examined. My in-depth Fitbit Blaze vs Garmin Vivoactive review will do just that. It will examine strengths and weaknesses, make an unbiased comparison and give a full breakdown of their features , all in an effort to help you choose the device that is going to get you where you need to be.

The Fitbit Blaze: Putting Fitness First
The Blaze is being called a smartwatch, and while it is smart in how it functions, it is not a smartwatch in the traditional sense as the emphasis here is on fitness. Your typical smartwatch tracks your activities and is packed with "smart' options, like Bluetooth, music controls and other extras, which are the main attraction.

Latest Blaze and Vivoactive HR Cyber Monday 2016 Deals:
That's not the case with the Blaze. Even though there are "smart" features here in a really attractive package, those points take a back seat to the fitness features, which I must say, are pretty impressive. This is the first tracker I've seen that does more than track. It actually offers instructions and guidance via the FitStar app. That's a big plus for anyone who struggles to lose weight or needs guidance and motivation.
For that reason alone I would recommend the Blaze to those starting out or those who need help focusing, but there are plenty of other reasons. Let's take a look at what makes the Blaze tick:
- Exceptional Design: The Blaze is a far cry from Fitbit's other models thanks to fashion options that make it as trendy as the Apple Watch. To start, it has a color, LED touchscreen for an exceptional display that is easy to see, and makes it look both smart and classy.
- FitStar App: Don't be confused by the name- this isn't your traditional app, or really an app at all. It is built right into the watch and you don't need a phone or any other device to use it. Just access it from the menu and you're ready to go. FitStar has three coach modes, with different exercises and step-by-step guides.
- Smart Track: This is another fitness feature sure to grab your attention. Smart Track is an exercise recognition feature that recognizes activities (running, hiking, basketball, soccer, and tennis) and records stats that reflect those activities. Therefore, calories are calculated according to precise motions for more accuracy.
- Improved PurePulse Technology: PurePulse is a Fitbit staple, measuring your active and resting heart rate 24/7 for an accurate analysis of your cardiovascular health, and now it's even better. The Blaze is now fitted with an optical sensor, for better readings and improved stats.
- Upgraded Smart Notifications: There are your typical notifications for calls or texts, but in an effort to put fitness first there is also an option to turn those notifications off, allowing you to work out with no distractions.
- Price: With all these features it is surprisingly affordable at $199.
In addition, there is the option of switching out the elastomer band for leather or stainless-steel, taking the Blaze to a whole new level. Anyone who loves fashion will love the look and choices (ladies you can switch it up as often as you do your shoes!)
The Garmin Vivoactive HR: Taking Tracking to the Next Level
If the Vivoactive impressed consumers, then the Vivoactive HR will floor them. Building on Garmin's commitment to excellence and their forward-thinking technological features, the HR just might be the quintessential smartwatch that gives users full control. With the ability to show full notifications and messages, as well as track multiple sports and monitor heart rate, this is a device everyone can appreciate.
The combination of a heart monitor with GPS and the fact that it's waterproof really sets this device apart. Plus, as with the original Vivoactive, it also has Connect IQ and the ability to connect and display all smart notifications right on the screen.
So what else makes the Vivoactive HR so appealing?
Check out what other Customers rate about this.
Let's take a look:
• Intensity Minutes: The HR doesn't just track your activity. It also analyzes the quality of your workout and lets you know if you are on track in accordance with guidelines from health organizations like the American Heart Association.
This is a genius move. Many people don't know how hard they should be exercising and this feature tells them, reducing the risk of injury and making it easier to achieve goals.
• Customized Design: You can download different faces and apps to customize the look and function of your device.
I love this because if you need the numbers to be bigger or want certain apps to make exercising easier you can do it 1,2,3. Fact is, trackers tend to look similar, so this is a fun way to make it your own.
• Built-in Sports Apps: The GPS feature works with programs for running, biking, swimming, skiing, snowboarding, golf, rowing, paddle boarding and more, giving you a wide range of exercises to perform and monitor.
This is big because most trackers monitor activities but don't differentiate between them, so you don't get the proper readings for what you're doing. For instance, soccer works different muscles than swimming and uses different amounts of energy, which the Vivoactive HR takes into account.
Garmin Vivoactive 2015: Technology That Makes A Difference:
Garmin's Vivoactive has been around for a while, but that in no way diminishes it's impact. The Vivoactive is a best-seller with consumers for a reason: it is a state-of the art tracker that does it all. Packed with technological smart features and fitted with a grade A GPS system, it is a a high-end device geared towards sports enthusiasts (especially runners and outdoor lovers) and those who need to stay connected.The GPS capability is what really puts it in a class by itself, allowing you to explore new trails and make each day's routine new and exciting. Personally, I think it helps to keep you engaged and challenges you, making weight loss and maintenance easier. It also makes exploring different areas safe and simple.
What I also like is how it caters to all different sports. It's rugged, sturdy and water-proof design lets you run, hike and swim without a care. When you add in the smart features, it is easy to see why hikers and businessmen alike love this device. Here are some other key feature to note:
- GPS Navigation: The GPS feature can monitor your health stats based on the activity you perform, as well as track the area and route you're on. It works together with the sports program you input to give you info you can't get anywhere else. For instance, if you run it can tell you the route as well as the length and intensity of your strides.
Basically, you'll never get lost and you can customize and tweak your routine- a huge advantage for serious athletes, or anyone who wants to improve.
- Smartphone Features: The Vivoactive doesn't just alert you of an incoming message- it displays it right on the screen. Messages can be read directly and it can also be synced with your phone for social media alerts, giving you a one-of-a-kind interaction through your device.
You can go for a walk and keep up with friends on Facebook and other media outlets if you hate being unplugged even for a minute. It also is cool for parents who need to be accessible for their kids.
- Connect IQ: This is a cool feature that lets you customize what data pages appear on your screen instead of being stuck with the ones that are pre-set.
- Quality Design: With a sharp OLED display and flexible, sturdy band you can wear it anywhere and do anything. but the most amazing feature is that it's water-proof up to 50 meters, so it is a score for swimmers. Few, if any trackers let you swim and record with it, so the Vivoactive gets an A+ for this feature alone.
- Price: For a GPS watch it is priced competitively about $200.
Fitbit Blaze vs Garmin Vivoactive HR: Different but The Same
As you can see, these devices both have a lot to offer and it can be hard to sort it all out- but don't worry, that's what you have me for. To give you a full comparison we will see how they are the same, then highlight their differences. Here is a basic rundown of what they have in common:
- Tracking: Both devices can track calories, distance, steps and record sleep cycles. This means that no matter which one you use, you can monitor your activity for each day- the difference lies in how they track.
- Smart Notifications: Each device can alert you to incoming messages and make sure you can be contacted no matter where you are. This ensures your safety and makes it easier to concentrate on your routine.
- Color Touchscreen: They both have a color touch screen, simplifying how it's used and providing clarity when reading stats.
- Fitness Features: Each one makes fitness a priority, although to different degrees. No matter which one you choose, you can perform a wide range of activities and get precise readings.
The Blaze vs the Vivoactive HR: What Sets Them Apart
Now that we have pointed out their similarities, we need to compare their differences in the key areas to really figure out which one fits you best:
- Design: The Blaze and Vivoactive are both attractive, but there are some big differences in design. The Blaze has the color LED screen that is easy to use- just swipe and all your information comes up. The quality of the images is beyond that of your average tracker. It also has a wide variety of bands to choose from, so it can be sporty or classy with a simple swap.I will say the one downside here is that it is sold with the elastomer one-size-fits-all band- you have to pay a little extra for the others.The Vivoactive has a sporty, but timeless look and could easily be mistaken for a standard watch, so it can be worn in a casual or business setting.
It comes in several colors and their band can be swapped out for a leather one, upgrading the look a bit- again, for just bit extra. It is also water-proof and adjustable, for a bit of a more comfortable fit.
Due to the more updated look, the Blaze gets the edge in this category.
- Fitness Features: Each has different, but attractive fitness features that can be tailored to you. The Blaze has FitStar, Smart Track and a persistent idle alert, making health and weight your only goal. FitStar practically gives you a personal coach you can access via your device and the idle alert mimics a coach as well, bugging you–I mean buzzing you–until you start moving.Plus, Smart Track can help you fine tune your moves and with the ability to silence notifications, the Blaze is great for getting and keeping you on track.
The Vivoactive has GPS and is waterproof, allowing you to track a wider array of activities with pin-point accuracy. You can swim, hike and play basketball, as well as get tailored readings, analysis and advice. It is a perfect companion for athletes and those who like to try new things, as it gives you the ability to conquer whatever you set out to do.
- GPS: This is major difference between the two and an important factor to consider when buying.
The Blaze has no built-in GPS. If you need to use GPS you have to access it through your phone. While some may not mind, if you love to run you may want to think twice as it can be cumbersome running with your phone.The Vivoactive and Vivoactive HR have an integrated GPS, making them perfect for runners or anyone else who wants to explore and elevate their work out. It allows uses to safely navigate wherever they go and gives important stats like mile splits, distance and more, as well as allowing more diversity in the types of exercises you perform.
The edge here is clear: the Vivoactive wins due to an elite GPS system you can access directly.
- Heart Monitoring: Heart rate monitoring is also a significant factor and done quite differently by each.
The Blaze tracks heart rate using PurePulse. It monitors around the clock and uses high quality sensors to give accurate readings, putting it at the head of the class in my book. The new PurePylse often sends stats more frequently throughout the day.The Vivoactive does not have heart rate monitoring, but does use GPS to improve heart rate readings. GPS allows for a better analysis of stats, but is not on the same level as real heart monitors.
One of the biggest advantages to owning th Vivoactive HR is that it has 24/7 heart rate monitoring, so you can get accurate statistics for whatever activity you do. I like this because it lets you see how intensely you are moving and how your body reacts, so you know if you are hitting you mark.
The Blaze gets the nod here, as heart rate monitoring is the best way to tell if your routine is working or not and helps monitor your overall health.
- Water-Proofing: The Vivoactive and Vivoactive HR are water-proof, so it is the clear-cut winner here.
- Price: Both are priced fairly, but the Blaze is under $200 and with the heart rate monitoring that gives it a slight edge, despite the Vivoactive's GPS.
Overall this is a tie that can only be settled by you- what you need will determine the winner here. If you are a swimmer it's the Vivoactive. If you have commitment issues then it's the Blaze.
At the end of the day, when you compare the Garmin Vivoactive vs Fitbit Blaze you must weigh all the factors and incidentals, as they are both incredible wearables. Reviews for both have been positive, with runners and swimmers gravitating towards the Vivoactive and fashion-minded but serious about their health people are leaning towards the Blaze.
Personally, I think they both do what matters most if you choose right: help you get in shape. they each have the features to get you over the hump and looking your best. whether you love the Blaze's fitness features or need the Vivoactive's GPS, know that in the end whichever you choose will take you to the next phase of your fitness journey. They are great trackers and worth the investment.
The Vivoactive HR, with a built-in heart rate sensor and GPS, is the most accurate of the three. The GPS compliments the heart sensor, so users get clear, precise readings on how they perform.The Vivoactive HR gets the nod here, as heart rate monitoring and GPS capabilities make it easier to tell if your routine is working or not and helps monitor your overall health.
Personally, I think it's a toss-up: The Vivoactive HR has heart rate monitoring, GPS and is waterproof, so I think the additional $50 pays for itself and makes it a real value.
All three are priced fairly, but the Blaze is $50 less and with the heart rate monitoring that may give it a slight edge over the Vivoactive HR for some consumers.

Emerald Downs: Horseman faces long recovery after trampling
AUBURN, Wash. – Tony Schiro is alive. That was the good news this week in the wake of a scary incident Saturday afternoon at Emerald Downs in which two horses heading from the paddock to the racetrack threw their jockeys, veered onto a horse path and broke into a full-speed sprint toward the barn area.
After running about 200 yards, one horse struck a tree, resulting in fatal injuries. The other trampled Schiro, 70, a longtime horseman and a popular figure on the Emerald Downs backside.
Schiro suffered head injuries, a badly broken leg and myriad other fractures. He was taken by ambulance to Auburn Regional Medical Center and later air lifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. A Harborview spokesperson said Schiro was moved out of intensive care Wednesday afternoon and his condition was upgraded to satisfactory.
"I talked to him this afternoon. He's in really good spirits," trainer Kay Cooper said Tuesday. "He had his femur plated and screwed. They have to go back in and work on his pelvis, and then they found a fracture in his right arm or shoulder. He's got some fractured ribs. He had a collapsed lung. His vision is fine, but he goes in for facial reconstruction on Monday. He's lucky to be alive, he really is, and he knows it."
Schiro was standing near the Quarter Chute Cafe adjacent to the barn area when he was struck by Cahill's Ride, a 3-year-old filly trained by Dan Markle. Dan Kenney, also a trainer, was on the horse path when he saw the loose horses barreling toward him. Kenney jumped for cover as the horses sped past, doing what he could to alert Schiro.
"The horses were coming real fast. They were in a dead run," Kenney said. "They both had blinkers on. It was just a matter of, 'How bad is it going to be?'
"Tony was reading his program when I yelled. He looked up, he dove like a baseball player trying to get to second base, but he dove in the same direction as the horses. He hit the horse point blank just above the knees. It spun him like a top. There was lot of blood, a lot of lacerations. He was drowning in blood, and I knew his leg was hurt. He's gotta be a tough son of a gun, I'll tell you that."
Wiley Witch sustained multiple injuries after colliding with a tree and was euthanized. Cahill's Ride sustained only minor injuries after striking Schiro and was returned to Markle's barn. Leonel Camacho-Flores, the jockey thrown from Wiley Witch, was taken to Auburn Regional Medical Center, where he was treated for cuts and scrapes. Tony Gutierrez, the jockey on Cahill's Ride, was not injured. Schiro has been a fixture at West Coast tracks for decades. "Tony has owned Thoroughbreds, he's done it all," Cooper said. "He exercised horses for a lot of big trainers down in California. He's trained, he broke horses at our farm and did an excellent job. Now he does animal communication and body work – he applies acupressure. I've been in contact with his brother in L.A., and what he said was, 'Tony's always been the brother who lives off the land.' What he owns is in the back of his car. Overall, he's just a good guy and a friend to everybody.""He's not out of the woods," Cooper said. "It's a major setback because he's not going to be able to work for quite a while."

Hilde's new Mobile Suit
Duo was surrounded by thousands of enemy mobile suits in outer space. "Surrender, 02!"
"Surrender?" Duo mumbled, "hey, big guy, do you feel like surrendering?" he waited for a few seconds, like Deathscythe was actually going to answer him, "I didn't think so!" He laughed as he began swinging his scythe over his head and slicing through the mobile suits like butter. As one enemy mobile suit approached him, another pushed it out of his way. "Whoa, what the…" Duo brought his scythe near the unknown suit and was surprised when he heard a familiar voice.
"Duo, it's me!!!" Hilde shouted, as she shot the enemy mobile suits. Her mobile suit was a Gundam and it looked almost identical to Duo's Deathscythe.
"Wow, 2 Deathscythes??" Duo mumbled, "Hilde, what are you doing here?"
"Helping you, of course!" she answered, twirling her main weapon, much like Duo's: a long glaive. She began chopping off the limbs of mobile suits. Her mobile suit even looked feminine, purple and yellow and it had a feminine face and mobile structure. Duo was surprised to see her piloting a gundam.
"I can't believe this!" he couldn't even fight back because he was so shocked to see pilot a gundam, and do a good job of it.
After he got over the shock, he began fighting with her and found it incredible. He didn't know that fighting beside a girl would be so much fun. In minutes, they finished with the Oz mobile suits and she took him to a colony, where she got the gundam. She introduced Duo to the maker, Dr. K. A woman scientist with short blond hair.
"How come her Gundam looks so much like mine?" Duo asked, pointing at her mobile suit.
"Hilde wanted a different mobile suit and she showed me the picture of your Deathscythe. She wanted a mobile suit like yours." Dr. K answered. "Everything is pretty much the same."
"What's it called? Is there any other special features?"
"Valkyrie," Hilde said, "and I do have a machine gun for long range combat."
"Valkyrie?" Duo mumbled, raising an eyebrow.
"A maiden of Norse Mythology who rides though the air and takes slain heroes to Valhalla," Dr. K cleared up.
"Damn!" he exclaimed, whistling and looking at the two Gundams. "But don't you start calling yourself the God of Death, okay? That's my title!"
"Hey, of course Duo, no problem," Hilde said with a laugh.
"Good," he whispered.
They heard an alert sounding and people were running all over the base, "Wha--What is it? What's going on??" Hilde demanded.
"Enemy mobile suits are headed this way!" a soldier answered in fright. "They're going to destroy this entire colony!"
"Oh crap," Duo groaned, "let's go, Hilde! Let's see what Valkyrie can do!"
They both entered their Gundams and left to battle with the Oz Mobile suits. There were also Mobile Dolls, that fought better than any pilot except for the Gundam Pilots. As Hilde came closer to the enemy mobile suits, she felt like she could destroy anything. She didn't even fear her own death. Attacking every enemy mobile suit in her path, her breathing became labored, sweat beaded across her forehead and she was only fighting for about five minutes. Something wasn't right, something was going wrong. Lost in the confusion, she almost attacked Duo.
"Hilde, it's me!" Duo shouted. "Hey, are you okay?"
Hilde was silent, "oh, sorry." What's going on? She wondered. It's almost like Valkyrie is piloting itself!
Her gundam had the ZERO system programmed into it and it was messing up her thoughts and actions. She found fighting difficult. Mobile Dolls advanced to her, not to her knowledge.
"Hilde, watch out!" Duo warned, coming to the rescue and ejecting his bustershield into the dolls. He guarded Hilde. "Hilde, what's the matter?"
"I-I don't know!" she cried, "something's wrong with my Gundam, but I've got to keep fighting!" She shook her head to clear it, screamed and brought out her machine gun, plowing all the mobile dolls and Oz mobile suits down.
"This isn't right," Duo whispered. "It wasn't like this before." He thought for a moment, "the ZERO system!! Oh, shit! Hilde, get out of there!"
Hilde couldn't hear him, she was too busy shooting and slicing and screaming to hear what Duo had to say. "I'm not leaving until everyone here is dead!" she snarled, twirling her glaive and slicing through the enemies. Immediately, she felt like she was going to die. Her muscles ached, her stomach was doing flip-flops and she felt like she had a migraine headache. "Come on Hilde, get it together!" she told herself. She started seeing things, things that scared her and she began screaming. "Duo, get me out of here!" she felt paralyzed
"I'm coming, Hilde!" Duo shouted, attacking the enemy mobile suits.
"Retreat!" an Oz member ordered his troops, "fall back!"
Duo grabbed Hilde's Gundam by the waist and carried it to colony. When they got to the base, Hilde unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the door to her gundam and fell out into Duo's waiting arms.
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked.
"Valkryie never did that before," she mumbled.
He looked into the cockpit and he found the system. While he kept one arm around Hilde, he reached toward the box and ripped it out. "This was the problem," he said turning around to see Dr. K. "Did you put this in her Gundam?" he demanded, "don't you know how dangerous this system is?"
"No I didn't!" she shouted, "I was talking to you the whole time!" she took the system away and began examining it.
"Somebody must have done it while we were talking to you," Hilde suggested, "Valkyrie didn't do that to me the first time I piloted it. Nothing like it at all!"
"I'm sorry, Hilde," Dr. K's assistant said, "I put that in your mobile suit."
"Why? I'm not used to it!"
"I knew that the mobile dolls were coming so I put it in. I thought it would help you."
"Hilde can't handle the system, I can't even handle it!" Duo snapped, "I doubt that Heero can even handle it!"
"It's okay, Dr. C," Hilde murmured, "I'm all right."
"We'll do the repairs to both of your Gundams, again, I've very sorry," Dr. C apologized.
"You two must be hungry," Dr. K said, "the cafeteria is just upstairs, you can't miss it."
"I know where it is," Hilde said, getting over her shock, "come on Duo, they make great sandwiches!"
As Duo and Hilde ate their sandwiches, Duo kept asking her if she was okay. Some of her builders kept apologizing as well.
"I'm all right, Duo! Really!" Hilde laughed. "I'm just fine."
"You sure?" Duo asked, taking her hand. "The ZERO system is really dangerous. You could've been killed!"
"I'm positive," she said, giving his hand a squeeze. "I think I handled it pretty well."
He smiled, "you sure piloted Valkryie like a pro! It's different from a Leo, isn't it?"
She nodded, "heck yeah. I really like piloting Valkryie. It's a good mobile suit."
"Remember, you got the design from Deathscythe!" he reminded. He gave her hand a squeeze before letting go and took another bite of his sandwich. "Mmmm, you're right, they do make good sandwiches!"
"I'm glad you like 'em," she said, taking a sip of her drink. She put her drink down and began fiddling with the salt-shaker, "Duo," she said nervously, "I didn't get to thank you for pulling me out of there….Thank you, I really appreciate it." She paused, "I don't want to know what would happen if you weren't there."
"Hey, don't say that. You don't need to thank me, Hilde," Duo murmured, putting his sandwich down and wiping his mouth with his napkin, "listen, I was glad to help you. You would have done the same for me."
"I already did," she said.
"Oh yeah, that's right, more than once," he said with a smile. "I guess it's just my way of thanking you for helping me out, letting me hide out at your place, checking things out for me. You could have gotten trouble for something like that, but you helped me out anyway. It's been a long time since I had a friend looking out for me." He paused when he thought about his past, running around and stealing for food, when Maxwell church took him in and Sister Helen tried to cut his hair then braided it instead. He was just a kid. He remembered when Sister Helen died in front of him. Since then he had to start all over. He stood up, walked to her side to kiss her cheek. "You're a great friend, Hilde, thank you."
She smiled and slightly touched his jawbone as she received the kiss. "Hey, what're friends for?"

Saturday, November 12
at Mill City Nights
Mark your calendars for Saturday, November 12, from 7:00-midnight. We're celebrating our 9th Annual Fall for Burroughs Silent Auction in style at Mill City Nights in Downtown Minneapolis (near Target Field—not the Mill City Museum!). Join fellow, future and past Burroughs parents for a night of drinks and delicious food, fun music and an exciting array of silent auction items. Every penny raised benefits the Burroughs Fund whose mission is "to preserve quality programs for current Burroughs Community School students and provide a reserve fund for future Burroughs Community School needs." With financial support from the Fund, our school has been able to integrate a rigorous, supplemental math curriculum, provide teacher support and equip the school with additional safety resources. It is a fun night out benefitting your child's school. Line up the sitter! Tickets will be available for purchase both in the office and online, starting October 3.
This year's event will feature mobile bidding (bidding with your smartphone or tablet) through the BidPal Giving Center. The Bid Pal Giving Center provides a central location for you to purchase tickets, find additional event information, and browse silent auction items.
There are a number of ways you can help make this event a success:
Attend the Auction — Tickets
Donate an Auction Item — You can donate items via email through October 14. The majority of the auction items come from YOU, our families of Burroughs. We're looking for donations, big and small. Sporting event or theater tickets, vacation home access, electronics, restaurant gift certificates, and services all make great auction items. Please donate an item or send ideas to Catherine Lipinsky.
Host a Great Gathering — Great Gatherings are just one of the many items you can purchase at the auction and are huge fundraisers for Burroughs. They are themed parties, intimate dinners, grade-level gatherings or family activities where attendees pay to have fun! The hosts cover the costs and all proceeds go directly to the Burroughs Fund. We are looking for hosts right now for gatherings this winter and spring! Join forces with friends as co-hosts or go solo. Big or small — we want them all! Get creative or we can inspire you with party ideas — 90's party anyone? Mardi Gras? A night at the Oscars, Kentucky Derby. What party have you always wanted to go to? Contact Catherine Lipinsky for more information.
Tell your friends and neighbors — Anyone and everyone is invited — especially parents of future Burroughs students and alumni!
See you November 12!
The Silent Auction started seven years ago as a way to bring together our community while raising money for the school. And it's a fabulous opportunity to meet other parents. Anyone and everyone is invited, including parents of current, past and future students as well as school staff.
It's a fun night filled with danceable tunes and delicious food. While you're mingling, you can bid on an alluring array of items — gift cards to local restaurants and businesses, artwork by Burroughs' students, sports and theater tickets, events sponsored by teachers, vacation getaways for the whole family and the very popular Great Gatherings.
All in all, it's a great parents' night out that benefits our school.
Great Gatherings are themed parties, intimate dinners, grade-level gatherings, or family activities hosted by other Burroughs families. You purchase a ticket to attend the Great Gathering, the host/s (can be multiple families) cover the costs, and all proceeds go directly to the Burroughs Fund. Past events have included "Mistletoe and Martinis," "Family Barbecue Bash," "Pub & Trivia Night" and "First Grade Moms Brunch." We are looking for new hosts this year. Maybe it's you? We're happy to help with ideas. They are very fun, a great way to meet new friends at Burroughs and a huge fundraiser for the school.
The money raised at the auction benefits the Burroughs Fund, which is intended to "preserve quality programs for current Burroughs Community School students and provide a reserve fund for future Burroughs Community School needs." With financial support from the Fund, our school has been able to integrate a rigorous, supplemental math curriculum, provide teacher support, and equip the school with additional safety resources.
Leave the ties and tulle at home. Basically it's dressy casual.
Learn more at How to BidPal. You'll need to register and create a profile. Providing a cell phone number is key to accessing the mobile bidding app. Please be complete with the information you provide to ensure a smooth bidding and check-out process.
Don't have a smart phone? Don't worry! There will be several roaming iPads in a Kiosk mode as well as volunteers available to help you bid on items & gatherings.
Ticketed guests can pre-purchase "Great Gatherings" beginning November 1, and can begin bidding on silent auction items the morning of the event.
We'd love your help! If you have items to donate, time to volunteer, or ideas for Great Gatherings, contact Catherine Lipinsky.

PERSON OF THE WEEK: Greg Schroeder is president of Mission Viejo, Calif.-based Comergence Compliance, which is focused on third-party originator and appraiser risk management and offers a SaaS-based vendor management solution. Using a variety of best-practice processes, proprietary monitoring technology and hands-on service protocols, Comergence provides lenders and appraisal management companies with tools that review and continually monitor registered mortgage loan originators and appraisers through its proprietary platform that manages these relationships from beginning to end.
MortgageOrb recently interviewed Schroeder to get his views on why third-party oversight has become so important for lenders and what they can do to ensure that their third-party management policies don't land them in hot water with regulators.
Q: What do you see as one of the biggest compliance challenges facing lenders today?
Schroeder: Lenders are facing a number of challenges, but there's one area that gets less attention than it should: oversight of third-party relationships and vendor management. Lenders aren't just being held legally accountable for their own actions, but for the actions of all the third parties with whom they do business. That includes not just third-party originators but other parties as well, including appraisers and software providers, with the latter two constituents just now popping up on the radar. The problem is, with so little guidance offered by the regulators, many lenders must simply wait for an audit and be told what to do through an enforcement action.
Q: Why is it more important than ever that lenders monitor third-party vendors these days?
Schroeder: Third-party oversight has always been important and good for business, but it's become even more critical now. Regulators have stepped up their enforcement in this area. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has made it very clear that the financial institutions under its supervision will be held responsible for the actions of their third-party partners. Lenders cannot outsource the risk when it comes to someone they work with. And it's not just the CFPB – other agencies, including the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency are closely watching how banks and lenders manage and monitor their third-party relationships.
It's more important than ever that lenders monitor their vendors because the penalties for noncompliance are steep. The Dodd-Frank Act authorizes the CFPB to increase its assessment of civil monetary penalties from up to $5,000 per violation per day to as much as $25,000 per violation per day if violations are reckless, and as high as $1 million per violation per day if violations are knowingly occurring.
Even that's not the end of lender liability. Lenders that allow borrowers to shop for third-party settlement services have legal responsibility under the CFPB's new regulations in case those providers do harm.
Clearly, protecting the consumer is the ultimate goal, and banks and lenders are being held accountable for any missteps in the mortgage process. That means lenders are being held to a higher standard when it comes to managing their third-party relationships; otherwise they risk facing enforcement actions, including fines, cease and desist orders, and other penalties.
Q: Is it feasible for lenders' in-house due diligence departments to properly monitor third parties?
Schroeder: I first saw this as an issue when I was working for an Alt-A lender back in the mid 2000's. I realized at that time that lenders needed help with managing and monitoring their third-party originators. Now, given the scope of what's being required today, and the vast amount of data involved, monitoring third parties to comply with the regulations is a daunting task for any organization. In fact, it's rare that a lender has the capability to truly manage the surveillance and oversight of its third parties on its own while staying focused on loan production. Mortgage lenders must have an effective process in place for managing their third-party vendors.
The wise move would be for organizations to leverage the proper services and tools available, so this extra discipline becomes an asset and not a liability. This also enables lenders to continue to focus on their core business functions. It's never too late to get started on managing third-party relationships if you want to keep your business and your customers safe.
The good news is that there are products and services available today that are specifically designed to help mortgage lenders manage third-party relationships in an efficient and compliant manner. However, not all vendors can monitor third parties on an ongoing basis, so it's important to ensure that the vendor or service you choose provides continuous updates on all of your third-party relationships.
Q: What impact are recent regulatory changes having on appraisers?
Schroeder: As mentioned, we're seeing that the same regulations governing third-party relationships now being interpreted to include appraisers. More and more, lenders, banks and appraisal management companies (AMCs) are requiring that real estate appraisers be thoroughly vetted before they will work with them.
For appraisers, this has been a boondoggle. The good intentions of these companies to have their appraiser panels vetted has had the unintended consequence of burdening the appraisers with having to undergo numerous background checks and other verifications for all of the lenders and AMCs they work with. And they have to spend their own money on each background check, as well as their time. We have solved this problem by deploying a portable background check that is kept current all year long, but for whatever reasons we have encountered serious resistance by the AMCs to adopt our reports, even though doing so clearly solves the problem. Appraisers are fed up with the ad-hoc requests and would love the AMCs to accept our methodology and stop making life unnecessarily difficult for them.
Q: What other issues are becoming problems for appraisers? Are these contributing to a shortage of appraisers?
Schroeder: Many appraisers are finding themselves increasingly constrained by this onslaught of new regulations. They have not only made the training, licensing and fees associated with appraisal work more time consuming – and thus expensive – but also have given rise to AMCs, which take a slice out of the appraiser's fees, which have not gone up correspondingly.
Many individual appraisers are having a hard time making a decent living as a result. Many of them are also getting burnt out. The biggest issue is that the population of remaining appraisers is aging to the point that many are retiring and there is nobody coming behind them. For a new appraiser to enter the market, they are looking at four years of college plus one year of apprenticeship just to earn $150 to $200 for an appraisal that now takes them all day to complete. Can you blame them for the fact that nobody is signing up for this? It's far easier for a mortgage loan officer to enter the business and their income dwarfs an appraiser's. This situation is making it harder to attract new people to the field.

Fabianski - I will be fine
Arsenal goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski believes he will recover quickly from the gashed knee he suffered against Olympiakos.
Last Updated: 07/12/11 12:03pm
Arsenal goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski believes that he will recover quickly from the gashed knee he received in his club's 3-1 defeat by Olympiakos on Tuesday.
The Poland International sustained the injury when accidentally clashing with team-mate Thomas Vermaelen when challenging for the ball.
The Gunners' undefeated run in this season's UEFA Champions League came to an against the Greek champions but Arsene Wenger's side still managed to finish top of Group F.
Fabianski is hoping that his injury will not be too serious, telling the club's official website. "I think I am fine, it's just a really deep cut.
"It was really unlucky but hopefully all the ligaments in my knee should be OK. Hopefully nothing will come out tomorrow or in the next couple of days.
"I can only talk about the time I was on the pitch because afterwards I didn't see anything. You could see that Olympiacos were really up for it and they were pushing hard.
"The first goal we conceded was a bit unlucky because it went off our defender. We could have maybe come back in a different way but unfortunately we didn't and that's how it finished."

New as of 2009, located in northeast Zanzibar, on Bwejuu beach, owner run, big and beautiful, Baraza Resort and Spa is a first class beach resort.
Set in a garden of sand, lawns, succulents and palms, and traversed by white cobbled paths, Baraza Resort and Spa is unashamedly large, taking both its size and its Arabesque architectural flourishes – domes, arches, mosaics, secret courtyards, huge doorways – from the kinds of things visitors to the courts of the Sultans of Zanzibar might once have expected to see. Opulent, calm and looked after by the most welcoming of hosts (there are many, each as fine as the last), Baraza is a stone and timber build consisting of a main hotel and 30 sleeping rooms. The main hotel includes multiple bars and restaurants, the Frangipani Spa, a couple of lounges, the Kids Club, a library, gym, business centre, shop, dive school and reception. Characterised by (tiny) tiled flooring, fountains, hanging brass lamps, benches set in alcoves, Zanzibari chests, highly decorated chairs and by great cooling throughways, the main hotel is both relaxing and vast.
The food is exceptional. Advertising its cuisine as Indian, Arabic, Swahili and Persian (Zanzibari), the kitchen at Baraza Resort and Spa specialises in spice and fish, but is equally adept at preparing pastas, meat dishes and the like. Breakfast and dinner (select nights) is served on the Livingston Terrace; lunch – buffet, snacks and easy cook – can be found at the Ocean Lounge Bar and Restaurant; and dinner is best at the Sultan's Dining Room. Drinking – wine, beer, spirits – can be had at all three, and great cocktails and after evening drinks are available at the Dhahabu Bar and Lounge.
The rooms or villas are divided into 5 classes: one bedroom Ocean View (7), one bedroom Ocean Front (7), two bedroom Sultan View (5), two bedroom Garden View (10) – all self explanatory in terms of location – and the Presidential Ocean Villa (ocean front). The one bedroom villas are a treat. White, flat roofed and approached by means of a stone path, each possesses a massive (Baraza has the effect of exhausting synonyms for large) four poster bed, a seating area, an en suite bathroom and private veranda. The colouring is off white, beige, the woods both dark and light, and well chosen plants, pots and artefacts add texture to a space otherwise sparse. The bathroom – standalone bath, toilet, shower, twin sink – is a joy. The two bedroom villas are similar, only bigger, while the Presidential suite is all about size and extra service, with separate accommodation provided for guests' entourages.
Baraza Spa and Resort's activities are many. They include low and high tide water sports (kite surfing, kite / buggy boarding, biking, windsurfing, pedal boating and snorkelling), diving and land based excursions. The dive centre is excellent – the only PADI 5* Gold Palm and National Geographic Dive Centre in Zanzibar.
Please be advised that much of the decorative architecture at Baraza Resort and Spa is the work of skilled local artisans, that the furniture is all handmade, again by local artisans, that the resort lays claim to impressive energy saving and waste recycling measures and that it is involved in a number of island based initiatives, designed primarily to provide education, health and opportunity to disadvantaged communities.

Hobart Vacation Packages
Hobart is located some 270 miles (435 kilometers) from Washington, the country's capital, and about 90 miles (145 kilometers) from Syracuse.
It's hardly surprising the area around Hobart is so popular with with international and local vacationers alike; the region has been blessed with wonderful cities, attractions and landscapes. Richmondville, 19 miles (31 kilometers) to the south, and Milford, 20 miles (32 kilometers) to the southeast of Hobart are good places to visit if you're keen on learning more about this region.
While you are in Hobart, why don't you head to Oneonta. Approximately 20 miles (32 kilometers) to the west, this regional city is where you can find Damaschke Field, Cooperstown All Star Village Fields and Foothills Performing Arts Center. If you are after more entertainment be sure to check out State University of New York-Oneonta and Hartwick College before you head back to Hobart.
If the sun isn't shining, don't worry, Central New York State is home to plenty of indoor history museums and theaters, that'll keep culture vultures entertained and dry.
If you believe the perfect vacation is challenging your abilities in unique natural environments, then check out one of the many ice skating and snowmobiling excursions the Hobart area has to offer.
Even the best vacation can't go on forever, so when it's time go home, head to the nearest major airport in Albany, 50 miles (80 kilometers) to the northeast.

What's the difference between leasing and buying when you have a low credit score in Nixa? For starters, when you lease a car in Missouri you are not buying it so the sales tax due at time of signing is much less. Instead of paying tax on the sales price if the vehicle, you pay sales tax monthly based on the payment. So with leasing you can drive a nicer car with a lower payment.Bad credit auto leasing Nixa, MOApproved lease payments are based on your disposable income, not your credit score. Typically the first lease payment is due at signing. If you purchase instead of lease, tax, title, and license fees are due at signing.

Angels Bending Near
Eliot tossed and turned in his bed, the sheets twisted around his ankles. Pillows littered the floor, and the blanket was twisted in his hands.
Nightmares had plagued him for weeks, turning night into a time to be dreaded. He tried to avoid sleeping at all, but that made him surly and snappish to the others, and there was no reason to take his frustrations out on them. So he tried sitting on the floor in a darkened living room, meditating like the Dali had instructed him to years before. When that didn't work, he tried exhausting himself in the boxing ring before bedtime, hoping the physical exertion would pull him deeply enough under to escape. When that didn't work, he tried a natural combination of herbs that an ex guaranteed would knock him out for hours.
When that didn't work, he was dragged kicking and screaming into his nightmares, fighting with all his strength against demons that were determined to have his soul.
Finally ripping himself out of the last torturous dream, he sat up on the bed, sweating profusely. He kicked the pillows out of his way as he stalked into the bathroom, turned the shower on, and stood under the spray, letting it beat on his shoulders.
After punishing his back with the hot water, Eliot stepped out of the stall and dried off, then dressed in jeans and a dark t-shirt. He put on his boots and grabbed his keys, then walked out into the dark night to his truck, thinking that maybe a drive would clear his head.
Hours later, as the sun just started to peek over the horizon, Eliot found himself driving up a twisting road that lead into the mountains. The scenery was beautiful; the lush green trees filled the hillside and birds soared in the thermals above, playing on the wind. He rolled his windows down, letting the fresh breeze rifle through his hair, sending it flying around his face, making him smile. The sun rose higher, and with it spread her graceful dance of lavender, pinks and oranges across the sky. Eliot was thankful that he decided to take the drive, if only to see that spectacular sunrise.
His peace was shattered by the angry honking of a horn behind him. He looked in the rearview mirror and saw another large truck behind him, swerving back and forth right on his bumper, the driver trying to pass and then apparently changing his mind. Eliot looked back at the road, unable to even see a shoulder wide enough to pull over onto to let this angry person pass. The road curved back and forth on itself, a sharp drop to the right and rocky hillside immediately to the left.
Eliot held his breath as the truck finally decided to pass, roaring up beside him on the inside of a turn. Side by side they rounded the bend.
Eliot knew that what he saw as they rounded the curve would be forever embedded in his nightmares, right along side the knives, guns and torture of his past. Right in front of them came a school bus, and in the other lane, another impatient person trying to pass.
As the tires of the four vehicles screamed Eliot had two thoughts running through his head: 'What are the chances of two morons on the same road?' and 'Will I get to kick their asses before I die?'

so ihave this new i dea for a champ i would like to know if anyone has a way to get in touch with riot about this granted while i understand they cant use my idea bc it is mine they can use something similar.
My I idea for champ is Called HaYwIrE spelled like this on purpose youll see in a min please read on.
lore once a man a tinkerer a shop laborer who worked as a janitor H.A. Ywiremann was a stupid worker whom worked for a robotics co. he was a stupid and not very bright indivigual he also had a spilt personality disorder and sever depression with schitzophrenia. one say he caused an accident at work at this place which was deep down in the deep recesses of noxia a very costly accident destroying the noxian militarys new wepon that hey thought would once and for all demacia and make them supreme rulers of all the land.
the leader of the company saw a window of golden oppertunity and took it offering the man a golden egg of false oppertunity he asked the man if he could make his problems dissapear forever would he like to doe so and then serve noxus? wihout question Haywire was born a robot fused with the brains of a man but a heart of steel.
haywires a champ like rumble but not he is because he used a heat system where if he overheats he temporarily shuts down, but not because he is a champ that also relies on tanking and taking hits and the more hits he takes the more mana he gets back. he is a mana hungry tank champ. his moves are as follows:
his q is split personality both his forms swing a large wrench at an opponent dealing minor dmg
his w is a raged attack called dismantle haywire deals dmg by putting a forcefield around the opponent and strips for every 5 sec they stand in the ring some of their aromr and magic resist.
his e is nutjob nutjob is a ranged attach where one half of hawtire throws nuts and bolts up and the other side swings the large wrench and hurls the nuts and bolts at an opponant
and finally his r this is his ult haywire goes loco in loco haywire hurlshiself foreward twards an opponant grabbing them and then slamming them to the ground stunning them while he pounds on there face.
the trick with haywire is if he overheats both sides the good side on the left and the bad side on the right quarrel with eachother as they are unable to move and they meltwown on eachother geting into a fight when the cooldown is worn off they resume normal love hate relationship as only a two headed 2 brained robotic exman can do
also note the left side brain from the left head controls th left and the right does the same for the right.

Pasta with Rosemary Cream Sauce
READY IN: 25mins
Top Review by Bob Crouch
Very simple to make, but I did not care for this dish. I thought the sauce tasted akin to a canned spaghetti I used to eat when I was a kid. The tomato puree was very acrid so I added a pinch of sugar to tone it down. You might want to be careful when you stir the cream into the simmered puree. If it's too hot, the cream could curdle.
