So I met a guy online a few days ago, and things seem to be going well. But I've noticed that he will text me good morning, and then I reply he tells me he is busy at work and can't really talk. So then it I go on the site to check messages I always see him on there. It is kind of frustrating because you say you are busy, but I see you online. I don't mind him not texting me or being on the site, but why do you tell me you can't talk but yet I see you on the site? I just don't like being lied to. But I do notice that once he gets off he texts me and we talk the rest of the night though. Should I just drop this guy? I feel like he is playing games.

I don't want to get my hopes up and have them crushed. This girl messaged me online a couple of days ago and we've been flirting heavily. Today she invited me to go over her house next weekend for wine and twerking. She also just asked for my snapchat. She wants to bang right?
I'm new to dating and extremely inexperienced. Does she want to bang?
Have an opinion?
What Girls Said 1
yeah definitely00|00|0
What Guys Said 1
I think that you should approach this with eyes wide open.
Good girls don't give it up after a couple days of online flirting. This one sounds desperate, if she's even female at all.
Try to meet her in public place before you jump into bed with her. Never stick your dick into crazy.00|00|0
Don't care I'm desperate and horny, she's also attractive, I'm not looking for a relationship. She's real too, we became fb friends and she wouldn't have asked for my snapchat if she wasn't.
Again, I would emphasize that sticking your dick into crazy is a bad idea, regardless of how fun it may be.
Desperate girls have a habit of seeking out codependency with a desperate guy, and its extremely difficult to predict how they might act in any given situation.
But, as always, it is ultimately your choice. If it were me though, I'd try to feel her out on a date before I'd think about hitting it.
she lives 1 and half hours away with a car and I have a very busy schedule and no car. I don't have time to go on multiple dates with her. I really don't care if she's crazy I just want to bang. So do you think she wants the same?

"They need to know," Susan said softly.
Lucy looked down at Aslan, where he lay dead on the stone table. "You go," she answered her older sister. "They'll need you on the battle field as well. I've only my dagger and my cordial. I won't be needed until the battle is over, to tend the wounded."
Susan nodded and kissed Lucy's hair before departing.
Lucy stayed with Aslan through the night, doing nothing more than crying silently for a time, until she heard and saw the mice gnawing at the ropes that bound the great lion – at which point she took her dagger and began to cut through the ropes as well.
"Thank you friends," she said softly to the mice. "Now return to your homes, and be safe there."
The tiny creatures crawled over her lap, all raising on their back legs and bowing once before her before continuing on their way. The sun finally rose as the last of them disappeared into the forest once more.
"Ah!" Lucy yelped as the ground shook and table beneath her cracked, causing her to fall. Turning, Lucy saw that Aslan was gone from the table. Looking beyond it, she smiled to see him standing once more in the arch that framed where the sun was rising. "Aslan!" she breathed happily, and ran to him, burying her hands in his mane when she reached his side and kissing all of him that she could reach.
"Oh Lucy," Aslan greeted fondly. "Thank you for waiting so."
"Aslan what happened? I don't understand."
Aslan chucked. "Though the Witch knew the Deep Magic," he said, "there is a deeper magic still which she did not know, because she does not understand true sacrifice. If she did, then she would have known then when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor's stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would turn backwards."
Lucy listened carefully and took these words into her heart. "I think I understand Aslan," she said softly. "And I will always remember," she promised.
"Good," Aslan said. "Now Lucy, will you climb on my back? We have a war to fight after all, and I can think of a place where we can find more to aid our fight."
Lucy obeyed without word, and soon they were racing with the wind itself across Narnia.
They were only a little late to the battle when they reached it, and Lucy had climbed down from Aslan's back at once to begin administering her cordial to all she found. The great lion himself immediately went to fight the Witch, and she did not see what happened exactly, though she knew that he won, even though she was tending to Edmund at that moment.
"Ed, where are Peter and Susan?" she asked as she waited a moment to make sure that the hole in his stomach – made by Jadis herself – was healed.
"I don't know Lu," he answered. "We got separated in the fighting."
"I'll find them," she promised. "You take care of yourself, alright?"
Edmund nodded and smiled weakly. "Go on Lu, my part of this war is done, yours is beginning."
Lucy nodded firmly and rose from his side to tend to the next Narnian.
It was easily an hour later when she found Susan, her horn at her hip and her bow in her hand, but she lay dead upon the grass. Her head was a foot away from her shoulders. Her cordial could not heal that. Lucy wept a while for her sister, but gathered the horn, the bow and the quiver, and bid one of the Narnians take Susan's head and body to the camp where the dead were being collected so that they could be buried together.
Lucy wasn't sure how many Narnians she had shared her cordial with that day, but it was all those who she reached too late that would remain with her – particularly as two of her siblings were among them. Peter had been cleaved completely in two through his waist.
Edmund, her only remaining sibling, held her tightly as the Narnians buried the dead. She cried freely and for both of them. Edmund felt too guilty to cry, and his throat would not work for long when he was called to give farewell to the dead.
"We shall miss them all, terribly," he said, choking around the lump in his throat. "And so we must all work together to make sure that we lose no more Narnians in such a way ever again."
The tears he had felt too guilty to cry before then had loosed themselves as he spoke, and he held Lucy all the tighter as they both wept.
"Edmund, Lucy," Aslan called softly to them after the dead had been buried.
"Aslan," the children answered, releasing each other to take the greater comfort offered by the lion.
"You need not weep children," he comforted. "For your brother and sister wait for you in my country. No, you may not yet journey there to see them, but know that they will wait for you."
Edmund and Lucy nodded silently into Aslan's warm, golden mane and were comforted. Both of them knew, though they knew nothing of Aslan's country, that any place that belonged to Aslan would have to be wonderful.
Soon after, Edmund and Lucy were crowned High King and High Queen of Narnia, which pleased the Narnians greatly, though to Edmund and Lucy, the four thrones of Cair Paravel were a sadness, because they had lost their brother and sister. Still, as it had been believed by their subjects for so long:
When Adam's flesh, and Adam's bone
Sits at Cair Paravel in throne,
The evil time will be over and done.
There were less of them than had been expected to take the throne, but such were the fortunes of war. Lucy took Edmund aside the day after they were crowned – after the celebrations had ended and Aslan had slipped away – and explained to him what Aslan had done that night at the Stone Table. She felt that it was his right to know how he had been saved, and though Edmund had cried again to hear it, he had also thanked her.
"Wrong will be made right, when Aslan comes in sight," he said softly, recalling one of the sayings that Mr Beaver had told them when their adventure had just been beginning.
"With the sound of his roar, sorrows will be no more," Lucy added, sniffling a little and forcing a smile onto her face. "Come on Ed, we've a country to take care of."
Edmund chuckled and rose as well. "As you say it Lu," he agreed, but like her, he swore to never forget what Aslan had done for him, even though he took up his brother's sword, learning under the instruction of Oreius until he was dubbed by his soldiers 'Edmund the Magnificent'. He much preferred his other title though: the Just. This was a title he felt far more worth having, and he lived up to it every day of his reign, remembering how he had been wrong once, and the price that had been paid for his mistake.
Lucy also took up the weapon of a lost older sibling – Susan's bow and quiver hung from her back as often as her own dagger rested at her hip, and she carried Susan's horn beside her bottle of cordial. People called Lucy gentle, and valiant, and she loved everybody she met and they loved her.
It was a golden age for Narnia, and Edmund grew to become a fine and handsome man, though his gravity often prevented offers of princesses for him to marry. Lucy's gaiety and beauty, however, drew princes to her like bees to honey, but she would have none of them – for none of them were like her brother Edmund, who would let her dance barefoot on the lawns in the moonlight.
"Queen Lucy! King Edmund!"
"Mr Tumnus!" Lucy greeted happily. "Prithee, what news brings my good friend from his home this day?"
Edmund just smiled at the old faun – and he was becoming old now – who was such a dear friend to Lucy and himself. It was always a pleasure to see the faun.
"The White Stag, Majesties!" the faun exclaimed. "I saw the White Stag pass by my house this day. Of course I could not catch it, but I thought not to grant any wish of my own, for I have my happiness. Still, I thought to myself that a good king and queen always have some thought to make our homes better, and I know no other king or queen so good as ours, so I hastened to the Cair to tell you. Will you go to hunt it?"
Lucy turned bright eyes to Edmund, a smile on her face.
Edmund laughed. "Oh very well," he said. "At this moment I say my wish is to make merry and enjoy the fresh air of the Western Wood, and simply to chase the White Stag will do that."
Later that evening, when the horses ridden by Edmund and Lucy found their way to Tumnus' house, their riders nowhere to be seen, the faun regretted telling them of seeing the Stag. Still, he gathered up what had been left on their saddles and returned these things and the horses to Cair Paravel, where he instructed for a vault to be made to store the belongings of High King Edmund and High Queen Lucy, so that all would be safe for them still on the day they returned – and they would return. He had no doubt of this.
He only regretted that the Lucy's horn was lost somewhere between the lamp post and his house. He had searched diligently, but found it not.
"Worry not good faun," Aslan said softly one night, when Tumnus was again out searching for the horn. "When the time comes that there is great need, the horn will be found, and it shall sound out, bringing help to Narnia once more. Rest easy good faun."
Tumnus bowed low to Aslan, smiled gratefully, and returned to his home once more.
Edmund and Lucy Pevensie were precious to their parents, for their older brother and sister had died of pneumonia while they lived in the Professor's house, away from the war. Of course, this was only the story that they told their parents, and the Professor was good enough to give their lost siblings gravestones on his property. In the time between re-emerging from the wardrobe in the spare room and being sent back on the train to their parents, the two monarchs spent much time with the Professor, learning how to adjust once more to their own world and a great many other things.
However, seeing their children also served to remind Mr and Mrs Pevensie of the two that they had lost, and so it was that the next year Edmund and Lucy were waiting at the train station to be taken away to separate boarding schools. They'd just sat down at the station where they were to finally be separated, when they felt it.
"Ow!" Lucy yelped, standing again.
Edmund, being a boy, did most definitely not yelp, though he did exclaim "ow!" himself as well before fixing his eyes on Lucy.
They both reached at the same time to grab the other's hand, for they recognised the feeling of magic, and had no desire to be separated because of the pulling that they could feel. Then the station was gone, and it was just the two of them in a cave, the large mouth of which showed a fine beach with crystal clear, perfectly blue water.
"Looks like we won't have to worry about algebra for a while," Lucy said with a smile as she ran for the beach and the breakers.
Edmund laughed in joyful agreement as he chased after her. "Yes," he said, "but where in Narnia do you suppose we are?"
"The coast," Lucy said simply. "More important to ask when I think really," she pointed out. "After all, we've been gone a year, and when we were in Narnia for decades not nearly that much time passed back in England."
Edmund nodded in agreement and looked up to the cliffs above them, searching for signs of Narnians. "There are ruins up there," he said, pointing.
"The Cair was the only place on the coast large enough to leave ruins," Lucy said weakly when she saw them.
"I agree," Edmund answered her. "But best confirm that."
It was a task that didn't take them long, but more comforting than the sight of Cair Paravel in ruins was the sight of a door in an upright pillar, the inscription upon which read:
High King Edmund and High Queen Lucy
Aslan Keep You Safe
Until You Are Returned to Us
Edmund smiled to see it. "I do believe this is the work of Mr Tumnus," he said.
Lucy choked on a sobbing laugh at the comment, tears of mingled sadness and joy at the corners of her eyes. "He's in Aslan's country now," she said softly.
Edmund agreed with a gentle hum and wrapped his arms around Lucy's shoulders. They had missed all of their Narnian friends when they had stumbled back through the wardrobe. Now they stood a moment in silence, wishing their passed friends happiness in Aslan's country, and that they will wait for them.
"Shall we see what he saved for us?" Lucy asked, putting on a brave smile.
"Yeah," Edmund agreed, smiling back and pushing the door open.
It was a safe-room, with two large chests before two statues of them as they had been, grown and regal. One chest before the statue of Edmund held the regalia of the High King, his clothes, his armour, and his sword. Peter's sword. Even his solid gold chess set was in there, which pleased Edmund no end, but he knew that now was not the time to claim it. The other chest which sat in front of the statue of Lucy held her clothes, as well as her bottle of special cordial, her dagger, and Susan's bow and quiver. Mr Tumnus had set his old flute in there as well, since he'd been teaching Lucy how to play it, but there was something missing.
"I'm guessing the horn got lost," Lucy said sadly.
Edmund chuckled. "I'm guessing the horn got found and that's how we're here," he countered. "Come on Lu, I'm sure if we dig deep enough we'll find some clothes that will fit us, and then we can ask the trees what's been going on since we left."
Lucy nodded her agreement, and soon brother and sister were outside once more, dressed as the monarchs that they were – and headed for the apple grove.
"Please," Lucy said to the tree. "Please, what happened?"
No answer came. The trees were silent. She asked again, and Edmund supplied his entreaty, but the trees were like the trees of England. They had no answer for the children.
The splash of oars could be heard then, in the echoing silence of the trees, and the two moved quickly to see who it could be, hoping that it would be Narnians that they could question on what had happened in the time since they had left.
"This'll do," said one of the men in the boat.
"Should we tie a rock to its feet?" asked the other.
"We haven't got one," the first pointed out, even as he and his companion lifted the bundle. "It will drown anyway."
"Not looking good Ed," Lucy said softly.
"Agreed. Those two definitely aren't Narnians, but we're deep into Narnia. You deal with them, I'll swim out and fetch whoever their captive is," Edmund answered, already taking off his sword belt and unstrapping his shield from his back. Next he pulled off his mail shirt and kicked off his shoes, then he was in the water just as Lucy let fly the first arrow – into the chest of the man who had suggested tying a rock to the feet of whoever they were trying to drown.
Thankfully, the bundle landed in the boat, rather than the water, and by the time Lucy and dispatched the second solder with a second arrow, Edmund had reached the boat and was climbing in.
"You alright there?" he asked pulling at ropes.
"Ed?" Lucy called.
"A red dwarf!" he answered, getting the last of the ropes off the Narnian.
"Bring the boat in Ed!"
"Aye-aye Lu," he called back, grinning as he grabbed the oars. "Are you alright?" he asked again, even as he put his back into rowing for shore.
"Yes, thank you," the dwarf answered.
Rather than letting Ed and the dwarf out of the boat when they reached the shore though, Lucy passed Edmund his things and climbed in.
"Hello there," Lucy said. "What's your name?"
"Trumpkin," the red dwarf answered, but his eyes were fixed on the sword that Lucy had handed to Edmund before she climbed in, a look of despondent disbelief on his face.
"Why were those men going to throw you into the river?" Edmund asked.
"Long story," Trumpkin answered gruffly.
Lucy smiled. "All the better for travelling to," she said firmly. "Which way do we row?"
Trumpkin sighed heavily but pointed upstream, and Edmund put his back into working the oars once more, and then the dwarf began his tale – a tale which was not so much his, as that of Narnia itself and of a young man called Caspian.
"But unless I'm mistaken there's no crossing in these parts," Trumpkin said as they walked through the forest towards the River Rush.
Edmund smiled. "I believe you," he said. "But I want to see if I can still remember the way to places. We'll find the crossing I remember, and should we find it impassible, we'll go your way."
Trumpkin sighed, but followed.
"Don't be offended please Trumpkin," Lucy said. "But we've missed Narnia, and even though we know time is of the essence, we want to see how much has changed."
Trumpkin nodded in allowance, and soon they reached the sheer cliff face that was one side of the gorge that the River Rush ran through in that part of Narnia.
"See? No way across," Trumpkin said. "And no way down apart from falling."
Edmund smiled and shook his head at their new friend.
"Aslan?" Lucy asked. "Aslan!" she exclaimed happily, and turned to Edmund and Trumpkin. "Did you see him?"
"Wasn't looking Lu," Edmund answered. "Where was he?"
Lucy blinked and turned quickly. "Oh," she said. "He's gone already."
Edmund chuckled. "Lu, where was he? If he's letting you catch a glimpse and then vanishing, then I'd say it's our place to chase."
Lucy grinned at her brother and headed over to the part of the cliff face she'd seen him. She screamed as she fell through some weak branches that had covered a hole in the ground, but it was a short drop and she grinned up at Edmund and Trumpkin who had rushed to see if they could catch her, hoping she was uninjured.
"I'd say we've got a path down," she said, smiling up at them.
Edmund grinned back. "I'd say so," he agreed.
"How'd you -?" Trumpkin asked, confused.
Edmund chuckled, though it was not an amused sound. "There was a time when I didn't listen to Lucy," he said, recalling an unfortunate time. "I ended up looking pretty foolish."
Trumpkin nodded slowly in understanding. "You really are the High King and the High Queen of Old, aren't you?" he said.
"Yes," Lucy said, just a little sadly as she was reminded that so many of her friends were gone now. "We are."
When they made camp in the woods that night, Lucy dreamed of Aslan, and in the morning she woke Edmund – he would not fast forgive her if she followed the path she had been shown to Aslan and did not take him with her – and Trumpkin, and dragged them along the path that she had been shown. Whether Aslan would be at the end of it again or not, she didn't know, he'd said himself that things did not happen the same way twice, but she would hope that he was.
He wasn't, but it turned out that Caspian was – and a number of his allies.
"You're the King and Queen of Old?" Caspian asked, staring at Edmund and Lucy, noticing the sword by Edmund's side.
"I believe you called," Edmund answered with a smile.
"Yes but," Caspian hesitated. "I thought you'd be older," he admitted.
"We used to be," Lucy answered whistfully. "I miss being tall."
"We could come back in a few years if you'd like?" Edmund joked.
"No!" Caspian hastened to assure. "No, it's just, you're not exactly what I expected."
"Neither are you," Edmund admitted, glancing at a minotaur who stood behind Caspian. Though he knew that a number of these creatures had turned over a new leaf during his and Lucy's reign, it certainly hadn't been all of them.
"A common enemy can unite even the oldest of foes," announced a badger from nearby.
"We have anxiously awaited your return, My Liege," a mouse said as he scurried out from the undergrowth. "Our hearts and swords are at your service," he added, drawing his sword and brandishing it expertly for Edmund's view.
"Oh what a handsome warrior," Lucy said, practically cooing over a mouse – she wanted so much to confide in Susan that she thought the armed mouse cute, but Susan was long dead, and she knew how warriors, indeed boys in general, disliked the phrase being applied to them. Edmund was about the only one of either she knew who suffered to be called such, and even then only by her. It was her sister's prerogative.
"And one who appears truly capable with a blade," Edmund added, careful to sound pleased rather than fond of the small fighter.
"Yes indeed," the mouse answered, bowing to the monarch as he put it away. "And I have recently put it to good use, securing weapons for your army Sire."
Edmund raised an eyebrow. "My army?" he asked, and turned to Caspian, who was beginning to look seriously out of his depth – and like he was losing all control of the situation as Narnians left him for their old king. "And here I thought you were the one up for being made King this time around," he said as he turned from the mouse to Caspian, as much of a friendly smile on his face as he could manage. Friendly smiles had never really been his thing, but he did a fair go of it.
Caspian relaxed then, and smiled back. "Thank you," he said, and led them to a place he called Aslan's How – a place that Edmund and Lucy had a strange feeling they knew, but that had changed in the time since they had been gone, just as the rest of Narnia had changed – where the Narnians had made their base and encampment.
"It may not be what you are used to," Caspian said once they were inside, "but it is defensible."
Edmund and Lucy nodded. "You've done well," Edmund told the older prince firmly. "When it was us taking back Narnia from the Witch, Aslan was the one who raised the army, not us."
"Does it have a back way out?" Lucy asked.
"Why?" Caspian questioned, confused by the query.
"A way to make sure your fortress doesn't become a tomb, as well as a way to get a messenger out if you need it, or simply a way to come and go where no one will see so that, should we be laid siege to, we can still get fresh food and water," Edmund explained, used to Lucy's ways of thinking. When they'd been Narnia's rulers, they made it a tradition to consider battles and landscapes where battles could take place, once a year on the anniversary of the day they buried Peter and Susan. Often, these turned into mock-battles for their army, keeping skills sharp even in the peaceful times, and all of Narnia had been the better for it.
"It's also a good idea to not have all of your army in here," Lucy added. "If there's a cave-in, or Miraz finds another way to trap us here, then there will be others who can continue the fight."
Lucy and Edmund chuckled at Caspian's naivety.
"Don't worry Caspian," Lucy said, laying a hand on his arm. "We've just had a few more decades worth of practice at such things. You'll learn, I promise."
Caspian's smile was completely grateful.
Lucy stood before the Stone Table that rested in the middle of Aslan's How.
"He knew what he was doing then," she said firmly, though tears threatened with the memory of what it had been like to watch that horrible night. "He knows what he's doing now."
Edmund smiled just a little and wrapped his little sister up in a hug. "I know Lu," he said. "When you told me what he'd done, I swore to never forget. Not what he'd done, and not how closely you follow him everywhere. That's why I always follow you, when you decide to lead."
Lucy nodded. "Thank you Edmund."
"You truly believe that?" Caspian asked softly from the entrance to the Table Room. "We have seen little evidence of Aslan here."
"Then you're not looking hard enough," Lucy said firmly, even though her face was half-buried in her brother's chest. "Still, I wish the trees would wake."
Edmund kissed Lucy's hair. "I know Lu. I miss them too," he said softly. "Prince Caspian, how many men in your uncle's army? How are they trained?"
"Hold off on answering that," Lucy said, sniffling once before straightening her back and squaring her shoulders. "You'll want all of your war-council present for this discussion. Ed's moving into tactician mode."
Edmund gave his sister a crooked smile and tweaked her nose. "Should I complain you know me too well?" he asked her.
"Between us Ed, there's no such thing," Lucy answered firmly.
"I'll summon them here," Caspian said, feeling a little awkward around the siblings who were younger than him, yet knew more of leadership and ruling than he did, and who – on top of everything else – acted like normal, happy people, even as they prepared for war.
"Before I go," the prince said, reaching for his side, "I believe this is yours?" he said, holding out Susan's horn to Lucy.
"Thank you Caspian," she said, accepting the carved ivory horn.
The lesson on Telmarine war tactics was long, and Edmund wanted to make sure that all those gathered at the war meeting would pass on this knowledge to those under them. Even back in the first battle for Narnia, he'd seen how Narnians would break formation or disobey orders if they saw an opportunity or a need. Not always a bad thing, but likewise, it was how a large number of them had been killed.
As such, Edmund, Lucy and Caspian and all of his generals discussed tactics that the enemy would likely employ and how to counter them most effectively with the least injury and loss of life. Mice would attack when the Telmarines brought their shields around them like a turtle's shell – they could get beneath and attack from within. Archers would be stationed high on the How to see the enemy and pick them off. Many of the same tactics that had been employed in the battle against the Witch would be employed once more, as well as the improvements that the siblings had come up with in the years they reigned since, though sadly their numbers were less than they had once been.
"We should send raiders to Cair Paravel," Lucy said, her chin on her hand and her elbow on her knee. "I'm sure there must be some armour there, weapons too. What's being made is all very good, but it's not too long a journey."
Edmund smiled, but shook his head. "Oh Lu," he said fondly. "Much as I'd love to see some of the old armour being worn again, it is old, and even though it's such a short distance we don't have the time or resources to fetch it."
Lucy stood high on the How with the archers when the first battalion of Telmarines came, yelling commands to them as she had once upon a time yelled commands to others, as Susan had once yelled her commands to a group of archers she had not believed herself ready to lead when she stood against the Witch. The first press was pushed back, fended off, defeated. It would not last. She knew this, and Edmund knew this. Caspian, new to war as he was, believed that they could go on in the same way that they had begun.
When the battle was over and the wounded – and there were lots of wounded, though thankfully no casualties – had been treated, then Lucy and Edmund held a conference with Caspian.
"I'm going to seek Aslan," Lucy told them both.
Caspian was surprised. "Why?" he asked.
"You ask that a lot," Edmund said quietly. "In the case of seeking Aslan, the real question should be why it was not done sooner."
Caspian ducked his head, looking only at his feet, and then haltingly told them of an incident, not long before they had arrived, when a black dwarf called Nickabrick had decided to stop waiting for the King and Queen of Old and had brought two fell creatures and tried to resurrect the White Witch to fight for them, claiming she would be a far more powerful ally to have. They were prevented, but it had been a fight that ended three lives to prevent the act from taking place. Everyone had been a bit hesitant about calling on ancient powers after that, even if that power were Aslan.
"Well, that explains more than it doesn't," Lucy said with a frown.
"Have the Narnians really forgotten so much about Aslan?" Edmund asked, despondent. "Lu, you know I'd love to go with you, but I think the Narnians still need a babysitter."
Lucy giggled, but quickly brought up a hand to smother it so that Caspian would not be more offended than he already was. "May I take your horse Caspian?" she asked.
Caspian nodded. "I do not need to ride anywhere," he admitted.
"Off you go then Lu," Edmund said with a smile. "Go and find Aslan, and say that I have missed him when you catch up with him."
Lucy hugged Edmund tightly to her. "I shall ask him to come back with me, and you may tell him so yourself, though I'm sure he knows."
Edmund smiled and held Lucy a moment. "And do be careful," he whispered to her. "I should break if I should lose you." She had been the first to forgive him and welcome him back after all, so unreservedly and warmly, and despite Aslan saying that there was no need to speak of what he had done, Lucy had dragged out of him every last detail, after they were King and Queen, because she had known that he needed to tell her, even though he hadn't known it himself, and she had forgiven him all over again.
"When we go in need, searching for Aslan, then shall he come in love, finding us," Lucy said, and kissed Edmund's hair before thanking Caspian for his horse once more, and leaving them to discuss the next battle.
The battle was over, the Narnians had won, and Aslan walked among them once more – for a time at least. The trees had been wakened and the Telmarines were awed to finally meet the creatures of the old stories that were only told softly to children as they went to sleep.
The Pevensies went back and forth all day between Caspian and Aslan, wanting to help the young king as he began to rule, but knowing that there was nothing better than to be at Aslan's side. The time came though, too soon to their minds, to return to England once more.
"You're not staying?" Caspian asked, shocked as Edmund and Lucy stepped up, volunteering to show the other Telmarines – for one small group had already gone ahead in faith, and their sudden vanishing had frightened the other Telmarines – that it was not a bad thing to trust in Aslan.
Edmund and Lucy smiled, just a little sadly.
"You might see us again," Lucy said.
"But we didn't come to take the throne of Narnia again," Edmund added. "We came to put you in it. Come on Lu."
~The End~

Hey guys, so basically one of my close friends (who's a girl) told me that it's generally better to hug taller guys. She said that it doesn't work if a girl hugs a guy at around the same height. It sounded a bit ridiculous to me... so I want to ask your opinion on this.
Do you girls prefer hugging taller guys? or not? or it really doesn't matter (which is what I thought)? and more importantly WHY...
And, maybe if you don't have a preference, - maybe do you like/enjoy hugging taller guys?
Thanks in advance for any responses :)
Most Helpful Girl
Yeahh, I really like getting hugs from taller guys. It makes me small (petite) and well protected. Especially, if it's from a guy I particularly care about.
Yesterday, this guys back was to me and I pulled at his waste with one hand to get him to turn around and face me and then I kind of just crawled into his arms and got a huge hug from him... It seriously seemed to make everything I've been going through worth it, just to be able to get a hug from him and be able to appreciate it.. Lol, idk. It was weird how much it meant to me (he's not even my boyfriend or anything like that..). All I know is that I wish I could get another hug like that from him<3 It was pretty close to those hugs you see in movies, where the girl runs into a guys arms and they embrace each other, as she rests her head against his chest and they stay like that for what seems like forever, but is really only about a minute long. I think there's something seriously sweet about that.. I've never hugged anyone in that way before, but I'm glad my first experience of something like that was with him. And I hope I get to have more hugs like that from HIM in the future =))))10|10|0
Lol, and on a side note: I know you can't actually crawl into someone's arms while they're standing up like he was. But there was just something so natural about the flow of movements, that I couldn't think of any other way to describe it but in that way..

Sometimes the NCAA does things that seem to rub some people the wrong way without any real reason behind it. Prohibiting a school from printing a Twitter hash tag on their football field may be one of those instances.
Today the NCAA released updated rules regarding field markings, uniforms and playing equipment. In it, the NCAA now prohibits any school from painting a website address or Twitter hash tag on the playing field.
Mississippi State was the first school to paint a school-specific hash tag on to their football field. In fact, they have done it multiple times. Michigan once branded the Michigan Stadium playing surface with their own hash tag. Fearing that a door had been opened a crack for potential advertising opportunities, the NCAA removed the possibility by eliminating hashtags from being eligible to be painted on the football field.
The basic logic is simple enough. The hash tag is being viewed as a form of advertising, encouraging fans to use the school "sponsored" hash tag in hopes of becoming trending topic, for whatever that is worth in reality.
It should be noted that hashtags on the sidelines is still perfectly fine, as long as it falls within the guidelines. Just keep it off the actual field. Surely schools will be quick to move some hashtags to the backs of the end zones or directly next to the sidelines, strategically of course to ensure they get some air time on television without breaking the rules.
The only markings allowed on the field now include the NCAA logo (of course), school and conference logos, the corporate name of the stadium name rights holder and appropriate bowl game markers when needed. According to the NCAA, "All other items, including social media designations such as URL's and hashtags, are prohibited."
This may be a short-term ruling. With social networking growing in popularity and usefulness by the day, being able to create ways to interact with fans more effectively and relay information about the game to as many interested parties as possible makes it seem as though in time the NCAA will scale back on this ruling. At least, they probably should. As long as a school uses the hashtags responsibly and does not sell it as a form of advertising, what is the harm? If nothing else, it helps bring more attention to a school and their program, and isn't that what is needed to keep the NCAA going?
It may not be a huge deal, but we have seen schools find unique ways to use social networking to embrace their fans, from big time universities that really don't need the help to programs struggling to compete for coverage. Why the NCAA would frown on that is anybody's guess.
Oh, but don't pretend as though the NCAA doesn't know how effective hashtags can be on Twitter. They do, after all, have their own official hashtags for each sport, including football.
How long until he NCAA decides it is OK for schools to paint the #NCAAFB or #FCS hashtags on their fields? If Twitter continues to become a staple in the way fans and collegiate athletic programs connect, it may not be shocking to see it happen at some point.
In addition to the hashtag ruling, the NCAA says pylon markers may have a manufacturer's logo or trademark, school or conference logo or the corporate sponsor for any bowl games printed on the side. Oh, that will definitely be happening, because photographers love pylon shots and TV cameras love the occasional field-level pylon shot during a lull in the action or coming back from commercials (naturally).
It seems as though the NCAA could have just gone with a rule limiting the use of hashtags to school-specific themes and perhaps probiting the selling of hashtag space. But oh well.
As for uniforms, the NCAA is ensuring that football will not become victim to what we saw in basketball by prohibiting numerals to be shaded the same color as the jersey. Like this. Instead, numerals must be a clearly contrasting color to make it easier to read for officials. That rule goes in to effect this season for FBS, meaning Adidas has time go back to the drawing board (plausible).
The NCAA is also cracking down on towels, because why not? Towels should be no smaller than 4" x 12" and may be no larger than 6" x 12". I would love to know who has the responsibility to check towel size. Also, no more tinted eye shields for players, which means LaDainian Tomlinson would have looked pretty different today. This is supposedly for medical reasons. Not at all to keep players from exhibiting any sort of personal style or flair. We can't have that.
Some of this just seems a little #excessive.

Daily Fantasy Sports: Massachusetts AG proposes tighter regulations
BOSTON >> Daily fantasy sports companies like FanDuel and Boston-based DraftKings would be allowed to continue operating in Massachusetts, but with age and advertising restrictions, disclosure requirements and other new rules proposed Thursday by the state's attorney general.
Maura Healey announced what she called an aggressive, first-in-the-nation plan to regulate the websites after her office spent several weeks reviewing whether the contests were legal in the state.
"This is an industry that cries out for transparency and robust consumer protection," she said. "These are games you carry around with you in your pocket and lose money at the touch of a button."
Among the regulations would be a ban on anyone under 21 participating and a ban on advertising or promotion of the contests at schools or college campuses. Professional athletes and others connected to pro sports would also be banned from entering contests in their particular sport.
Limit on deposits
Most players would be limited to depositing $1,000 per month on games, and the companies would be required to identify "highly-experienced" players on all contest platforms and offer "beginner" games that would be off limits to the more experienced players.
Contests involving college sports would also be banned in Massachusetts, and daily fantasy sports would be prohibited from extending credit to players.
In separate statements, FanDuel and DraftKings offered qualified support for Healey's proposals, with FanDuel saying they made "a tremendous amount of sense," and DraftKings calling them a "thoughtful and comprehensive approach" to fantasy sports.
DraftKings, without specifying, expressed some concerns with Healey's plan, and both companies said they would offer more feedback on it in the coming weeks. Both also indicated a willingness to work with other attorneys general, regulators and lawmakers to develop regulations around the country.
Several states have been scrutinizing daily fantasy sports recently, considering whether the games should be treated like other forms of gambling. The sites drew attention earlier this year with an ad blitz ahead of the NFL season — football is by far the most popular fantasy sport — and scandal after a DraftKings employee won $350,000 in a FanDuel contest. The companies say there was no wrongdoing, but lawmakers on several levels began questioning whether the games are or should be legal.
Nevada restricted daily fantasy sports there to those with gambling licenses, while New York's attorney general is challenging DraftKings and FanDuel there by calling the offerings illegal games of chance. DraftKings and FanDuel disagree and are arguing in the state's Supreme Court to stay open in one of their biggest customer bases.
Supporters of fantasy sports have long argued that a provision in a federal law allows them to operate freely in 45 states.

Jay-Z Carnegie Hall
February 6, 2012 by staff
Jay-Z Carnegie Hall, Jay-Z has seen it all and done it all — or so we thought. Just when it looked like there was no new ground for Hov to cover, the multiplatinum rap superstar announced he would be performing a pair of shows at New York's famed Carnegie Hall.
For the first time ever, Jay will hit the Carnegie Hall stage on Monday night (February 6), followed by a second show on Tuesday, and it's all for a good cause. Proceeds from the privately sold premium-priced tickets will go to Jigga's Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation and the United Way in an effort to put low-income New York City students in a position to attend college.
When Hov first announced the concert dates back in December, he told MTV News that he wasn't sure what the night would bring, but Jay-Z fans know the rap mogul often has a trick or two up his Maison Martin Margiela sleeves. Here are some things we hope to see:
"Glory" featuring B.I.C.
Two days after wife Beyoncé gave birth to the couple's daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, Big Poppa Jay dropped "Glory," a dedication track to daddy's little girl. The Pharrell-produced track featured the "Streets Is Watching" rapper like we've never seen him as he rhymed about the joys of fatherhood. Hopefully, Jay will perform the track … and maybe even roll out Baby Blue in a stroller for her first public appearance? It would be an incredible, if highly unlikely moment.
"Crazy in Love," "Déjà Vu," "Upgrade U," Jay and Queen B have no shortage of hit records to perform. Granted, Beyoncé is probably on some type of musical maternity leave (and deservedly so). But it sure would be nice to see B make her first post-birth appearance onstage and hand-in-hand with hubby Hov.
"N—as in Paris" — Multiple Times
People love Paris. While out on the Watch the Throne Tour, Jay-Z and Kanye West would perform their fan-favorite "N—as in Paris" multiple times each night. On the final stop in Vancouver, the duo rocked the song a record-breaking 11 times. So how many times will he rock the song at Carnegie Hall? "We have to do a rendition of 'N—as in Paris' in Carnegie Hall; it just has to go down," Jay laughed back in December. "I ain't think about that. That'll be great."

In the market for a real estate agent? This article provides some good tips for how to select one. One thing I'd add: look for a full-time agent. While there are many very good and highly qualified part-time agents, a full-time agent will often be able to devote more time to each client. Also, pay attention to what they say in the article about the number of closings – just because an agent does a lot of closings doesn't necessarily mean they're the right agent for you. You may tend to become just another number to them, whereas an agent who does fewer closings may be more likely to treat you more as a priority.

In 1888, the elusive serial killer, Jack the Ripper, terrorized the Whitechapel District of London. Scotland Yard was baffled.
But, that same year, Jack met his match when he crossed paths with the dreadfully evil ...really awful...Count Dracula.

But, in 2011, Napoleon decided that he wanted his land back.
Master storyteller Michael B. Druxman turns history and literature topsy-turvy in six unforgettable tales. Titles include "The Old Coot", "Dracula Meets Jack the Ripper", "Big Al and Desperate Dan", "Napoleon Brandy", "The Space Ship", and "Bugsy's Boys".

6 Entertaining Short Stories
Michael Druxman wrote this entertaining audio-book in a lively style, and Fred Frees narrated it with a wide variety of tones and voices. The title may be somewhat misleading because the Dracula/Jack-the-Ripper story is just 1 of the 6 short stories in this sequence. In fact, most listeners may do what I did - only listen to one story at a setting.
One of my favorite stories in the sequence was "The Old Coot" - which had a Tom Sawyer/Huckleberry Finn type of atmosphere. In this story, a young mischievous boy who idolizes Jesse James ran into an old coot who seemed to know quite a bit about Jesse. You must listen to the story, as the old coot tries to persuade the boy that Jesse's life may not have been as thrilling and desirable as legend portrays.
Another of my favorites was "Napoleon Brandy" - with a science fiction setting. This story involves a brilliant professor who invents a time machine and bringing Napoleon Bonaparte back to modern day America. In an amusing manner, Napoleon causes as much trouble to modern American generals as he did to European generals two centuries ago.
My other favorite short-story was "Bugsy's Boys" - a skit that reminded me of the movie "Analyze This" with Robert de Niro playing a mobster and Billy Crystal playing his psychiatrist. However, in Bugsy's Boys, the man who murdered Bugsy Siegel draws an unwilling writer into trouble with some of Bugsy Siegel's old associates.
Mostly, in addition to proceeding at a lively pace, the stories made me chuckle here and there -- as I thought about the various situations the characters put themselves into, and how I might have reacted in the same situation.
In all of these stories, an interesting tale along with an assortment of well-played voices from the narrator made me feel like I was right there with these adventuresome characters. You will enjoy listening to this audio-book in your leisure time.

Hi. I'm making a plaque to go on a buttercream wedding cake so i'm assuming I should let it dry first so it doesn't go soggy when I put it on the buttercream.
Do I let it dry on the pan so that it is curved or just let it dry straight? Is melted chocolate a good idea for sticking it on or is buttercream a better choice? Thanks
If you want it curved I would just cut it out and let it rest for a little so that it doesn't get distorted when you pick it up, then place it right on the refrigerated buttercream or fondant.
FOR FONDANT: I discovered that wetting a paper towel and squeezing the water out so it's just damp and wiping it gently over the area where you are adhering works SOOO SOOO much better than a brush with water...no drips! And when it dries, it dries evenly, not shiny where too much water was applied. You can't even tell where the wet part was. Makes for much neater work!
If you want it straight, let it dry well on a flat surface...I have found that foam works well dusted w cornstarch bc the air can circulate and it dries faster from both sides. Attach with buttercream to buttercream, but a little melted choc would work for fondant.
I've used fondant cut outs on butter cream cakes many of times, placing them on their while they are still fresh and soft with no problems. The only time I pre dry something is when I want it to hold it's shape. If I wanted the piece to remain flat/straight I would dry it as such. If I wanted it to curve around the cake, then I will put it on the cake while it is still soft. As long as you don't get the piece really wet, or close it up in an airtight container with the cake, it shouldn't melt.
You can glue it on with vanilla, water (I like vanilla better), piping gel, or corn syrup. You can also use butter cream.
Thank you very much for the replies, i won't be doing it until saturday so I shall update with what I do and how it worked out for any other future noobz.

Protec BlackTrax a robot and performers at NAS opening ceremony
Published: MEA
UAE: The fourth annual Nad Al Sheba (NAS) Sports Tournament was recently staged in Dubai, with an opening ceremony kicking off the proceedings at the Nad Al Sheba sports complex, a multi-purpose indoor arena opened by H.H. Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, president of the UAE Olympic Committee. The event saw production agency, HQ Creative, enlist the technical services of Protec to assist with the tracking of the show's host, a 40cm-tall robot named NASO.
NASO performed its hosting duties upon a moving platform, sharing the stage with 16 performers. Protec deployed Cast's BlackTrax to track the performers as well as the robot's platform, using lighting effects and video.
'We connected BlackTrax cameras with strategically placed BlackTrax beacons and hid them inside each of the performers' costumes,' explained Aaron Russ, lighting designer at Protec. 'During rehearsals we were able to adjust or add the beacon markers on the performers to ensure they could be tracked whatever sort of acrobatics or body angles were presented to the cameras. We also used a BlackTrax beacon for the little robot presenter so BlackTrax could track the robot and keep all the cueing in time.'
During part of the ceremony, a virtual football pitch was projected onto the stage while the 16 performers raced around on hover boards. BlackTrax was integrated with d3 Technologies media servers to create custom graphics that were projected over each individual performer, as each of them was tracked and allocated a dedicated spot.
'All stage elements were covered and thanks to BlackTrax everything was where it needed to be, on time, every time, without the possibility of human error. The stage was bright and vibrant and we were given very positive feedback from both the client and the viewers,' added Mr Russ. 'By using BlackTrax, no one missed a cue.'
The ceremony was reportedly deemed a success, while BlackTrax was described as providing a creative solution, saving the production both time and costs. The yearly tournament takes place during Ramadan and features seven sporting events, including archery, volleyball and wheelchair basketball. After the opening ceremony had concluded, Sheikh Ahmed, along with several other sheikhs, attended a goalball match that pitted Abu Dhabi Disabled Sports Club against Al Ain Disabled Sports Club.

A guy friend and I started dating/hooking up about two months ago. Most of the time I iniated the hangouts and we saw each other about once or twice a week but not always date-like activities sometimes he would just come over and we would talk. And we didn't hook up every time we saw each other either. All my friends that saw us together said they thought he really liked me. Then I texted him one day and said that I liked him and that I'd like to talk about things between us at some point in the future since we are friends and things were getting complicated. He responded and said he wasn't ready for anything serious and didn't want to hurt me. I told him I wasn't ready for anything serious either and asked to talk to him about it in person and then he said ok. But then the night we were going to he just bailed and said he didn't know what else to say. What happened? Did I scare him off? Or was he never interested?
Most Helpful Guy
Yea it wouldn't hurt to talk, everything starts with communication you know.11|00|0
What should I say?
Just make small talk about your interests and ask if he wants to hang out or go see a movie or any activity, meet for coffee, or talk about others interests like music, or games, etc.
Or your favorite movies or if you both like sports that's something to talk about as well, talk about your goals in life or what your aspirations are or talk about each other's dreams etc.

3 face charges in vandalism of several gas tanks
Three men accused of drilling holes in the gas tanks of numerous vehicles have been arrested.
According to the Saratoga County Sheriff's office, Zachary Currier, 18 and Morgan K. Sharadin, 21, both of Ballston Spa, and Owen R. Gary, 18, who is homeless, carried out the vandalism spree for most of January.
The men allegedly drilled holes in the gas tanks to get at the gasoline, which they drained into a small gas can. They then transferred the gas into the vehicle they were driving.
The 20 reported incidents spanned five towns, as well as the village of Ballston Spa and the city of Saratoga Springs.
Police said the fuel was being used to fuel the defendants' vehicles and their friends' as well.
The defendants were each charged with fourth-degree grand larceny and second degree criminal mischief. All were jailed due to lack of bail.
The investigation is continuing and police say there is the possibility of additional arrests.
Anyone who has been victimized and has reported the incident to the Saratoga County Sheriff's Office is asked to fax receipts for repairs to 885-2454.

MATLAB Newsgroup
Not so familiar with making functions from fitting data, so I hope someone can point out what I'm doing wrong.
Figure of the data I'm trying to fit, and the curve that I've managed to find with fitting the data with free-knot B-splines (using the BSFK function from the File Exchange).
As seen in the figure, the fitted curve starts at zero (or something) and then quickly goes up to the level where most of the data is localized. How can I manipulate the spline function to start at more suitable levels such that I avoid this sudden increase in the function? I.e make it start at values around 1.02 for small values on the x-axis.
The code I've used for deriving the spline function is as follows
%%% B-Spline options
nknots = 10;
sigma = 0;
options = struct('KnotRemoval','none','sigma',sigma);
%%% Normalize input and output signals
xEnvNorm = abs(x)/max(abs(x));
yEnvNorm = abs(yPAm)/max(abs(yPAm));
xVec = 0:1/length(x):1-1/length(x);
phase = unwrap(angle(yPAm)-angle(x));
phase = phase/mean(phase);
ampmSpline = BSFK(xEnvNorm,phase,3,nknots,[],options);
ampmSplineFit = ppval(ampmSpline,xVec);
scatter(xEnvNorm,phase,'.r'); hold on;
xlabel('Normalized input amplitude');
ylabel('Normalized AM/PM, radians')
axis([0 1 mean(phase)-0.1 mean(phase)+0.1])
Any help is appreciated!
One obviously learn as long as one lives; trick was to set min input value (x value) to 0dBm (10^(-1.5) in amplitude).

Maurice Goddard
Known for his no-nonsense, blunt style, Maurice K. Goddard served under five Pennsylvania Governor's as Secretary of Forests and Waters and as the founding Secretary of the Department of Environmental Resources (1955-1979). His legacy as a public servant includes:
- A commitment to professionalism and civil service
- A state park within 25 miles of every Pennsylvanian
- A watershed scale approach to water management
- Dedicated funding for natural resource conservation – the Oil and Gas Fund, Bond Initiative (Project 70 and Project 500).
- A profound influence on national conservation policy
Mira Lloyd Dock
Mira pushed hard for livable, healthy cities with access to parks and playgrounds by all of its residents. Her work resulted in dramatic changes in the way many smaller urban areas in America dealt with sewage, flooding, drinking water, parks, recreation, and general beautification.
At the same time, she raised the awareness of our need to protect and nurture expansive tracts of forests for watershed protection and wild habitat, and helped Pennsylvania develop its national leadership in forestry and forestry education programsWatch Video
Gifford Pinchot
After a break from politics, Gifford Pinchot was elected for a second time as Governor of Pennsylvania in 1930 as the state and nation were faced with the tremendous unemployment resulting from the Great Depression.
Gifford's landmark roadbuilding and road paving program not only put thousands of people to work, it helped connect rural farm communities to markets for their goods and services.
He also instituted a massive tree-planting program, hiring men to restore the cut-over timber areas of the state. This experimental program became President Roosevelt's model for the federal Civilian Conservation Corps.Watch Video
Ralph Abele
Legislation is passed regularly in the State Assembly, but a state constitutional amendment is rare as it takes a tremendous amount of statewide support from a broad representation of citizens and legislators. Once Ralph's Joint Legislative Committee had proposed a "Conservation Amendment," Ralph took it upon himself to build the needed support to get it passed. Working with Senator Franklin Kury and Department of Forests and Waters Secretary Maurice Goddard his tireless efforts resulted in Article 1, Section 27 getting passed by both the House and Senate and approved as a voter referendum. Once on the ballot, Ralph's efforts to garner public support paid off with a tremendous majority of voters approving it.
Ralph took over the helm of the Pennsylvania Fish Commission in February of 1972. He became known as a very strong advocate of fisheries and all aquatic life, promoting the philosophy of "Resource First" when weighing decisions that would impact the environment. The "Don't Tread on Me" flag was his symbol of standing up for what is right against those who would further harm Pennsylvania's environment.Watch Video

|Unique City, State results from index based on zip
|Wed, 04 Apr 2007 00:36:58 GMT
I am having the following problem. I have an index I built from a standard US Zip Code table. Users can search for any combination of City, State and Zip. If they search for City, State, I want to find unique results, instead of one result for every zip code that city state has. For instance, a search for "Mill Vally, CA" (mispelling on purpose), gives these results: 94941, Mill Valley, CA 29715, Fort Mill, SC 46365, Mill Creek, IN 29708, Fort Mill, SC 94114, Mill Valley, CA... etc. Notice the duplicates.

Enterprise Resource planning software is to be adopted by all schools who desire a better management and administration over their students and teachers. With tremendous amount of students and services, it is highly desirable to automate the functions that are related to human resources and technology. ERP software help manage all the businesses that are a part of school management, in a much easier way.
How can ERP software help in a better school management?
There are a variety of challenges that the faculties and students of all educational institutions face on a daily basis. To tackle these issues and provide a better management system, ERP systems have come into place. In terms of academics, they help the schools plan the perfect syllabus that should be exercised and select the correct type of books to be followed, for the students in different grades.
In terms of administration and management, they help the educational institutions track the progress of development. Providing the faculties and students with proper facilities and infrastructure and manage the attendance and grasping efficiency of each student can be tracked.
ERPs help school develop a digital library for students and teachers to access the books and other guides online, and arrange them according to the subjects and category. Also, exams can be easily tracked and the schedule and scores of examinations can easily be uploaded into the systems, rather than long hours of manual work. Every data can be kept secured and organised, rather than the inconsistencies that are caused by storing them manually in books and files. It is easier to send circular and notifications to the management, faculties and students with an effective ERP system.
The whole system of education can be supported in multiple languages with these systems and it is the most cost effective way of management. School become more productive and impart knowledge better than those institutions that still rely upon manual works.
