Toyota has relinquished its F1 entry and has no intention of trying to sell it, AUTOSPORT has learned, even though there are discussions with new teams about taking over the design of its 2010 challenger.
The Japanese manufacturer announced last month that it was quitting F1 at the end of the season, and in recent days there have been rumours that it was looking to sell on its entry in a bid to avoid any punishment it may face for not competing.
However, high level sources at Toyota have dismissed any talk that Toyota is trying to get itself involved in the entry selection process - as discussions continue with the FIA and Formula One Management about drawing a line under its F1 involvement.
AUTOSPORT understands Sauber has been assured it will get the final slot on the grid instead.
The Toyota source said: "We have returned our entry to the FIA and have no intention or wish to influence or interfere in the allocation process. That is a matter for the Federation.
"We are discussing a settlement with Bernie on the basis of goodwill and what is acceptable to all parties."
Although there has been talk that Toyota could face a major fine for pulling out of F1, having signed the Concorde Agreement that in theory committed it until 2012, it is not clear how such a penalty could be enforced since the team would no longer be a competitor.
The source has also confirmed that discussions are ongoing with new teams about selling on the team's design - and perhaps leasing elements of the former Toyota team including pit equipment, engines and flight freight containers.
"We have offered the IP of our 2010 car for a nominal fee to some of the new entrants but none have accepted," said the source. "We have interest from Stefan GP but it is not clear if they will receive an entry or not."
Interestingly, the team is also offering Kamui Kobayashi as part of the package - with the Japanese driver having impressed in his two races for the team at the end of last year.
"We have asked if Kobayashi could be part of the package," said the source.

Is there a place to find spiceworks consultants available to help deploy an installation and provide support on an hourly basis?
2 Replies
Feb 15, 2009 at 2:12 UTC
Not to steal anyone's bread and butter but you may have just found the single best resource in the known universe for assistance in deploying Spiceworks.
We all get paid for answering tickets, weakly, very weakly. J/K ;))
Feb 15, 2009 at 5:06 UTC
I would start with Spiceworks and see if they would do it.
Failing that, you need to specify some basic info about your site.
As for myself, I have half a dozen installs but I don't consider myself an expert. If you have 500 devices then you are way out of my league.
Next, you need to consider some of the specific devices on your network. If you have a lot of switches by one manufacturer then it would help if your consultant had some knowledge of them.
Lastly, if you use someone outside then that person will need some access to your system. Allowing anyone general access to your network is questionable. Make sure you are dealing with a professional individual.
Good luck.

Following my family tradition of making either shrikhand or basundi for Dussera, this year I decided to make shrikhand simply because my grandson loves seeing me seive it through a thin muslin cloth.
So I began the process by ordering 2 litres of milk – not the skimmed milk or tetrapak variety that is popular in the market these days but full fat buffalo milk. I then made this into curd by adding some culture to just warm to the touch milk.
The curd is poured out into a Muslin cloth and the bundle tied over a pot so that all the whey is drained out.
Once the whey stops dripping you can safely assume that the curd cheese is ready to be made into Shrikhand.
Now add sugar depending on the sweetness you like – I added two heaped cups since I like it really sweet.
I let it sit a while so that the sugar melted and then spread a wet Muslin cloth spread taut over a wide mouthed pot, securing the cloth with some twine. Then gradually I spooned the curd +sugar mix on the cloth and spread it thin with my hand.
When all the curd is used up, I scraped off the strained curd that stuck to the cloth with a spatula. Then a few strands of saffron 1/4 tspn of powdered cardamom , a dash of nutmeg and a pinch of salt and it was done !
The most tedious part of the shrikhand is straining it through the muslin cloth, but this simple method really took me all of 15 minutes!
This makes a decent amount of Shrikhand for 4-6 people and is eaten with hot puris.
You can find more traditional recipes especially with Diwali fast approaching in my book The Fragrance of Mango Blossoms which is available as an e book too!

Development The first competition for a supersonic strategic heavy bomber was launched in the Soviet Union in 1967. In 1972, the Soviet Union launched a new multi-mission bomber competition to create a new supersonic, variable-geometry ("swing-wing") heavy bomber with a maximum speed of Mach 2.3, in direct response to the US Air Force B-1 bomber project. The Tupolev design, dubbed Aircraft 160M, with a lengthened flying wing layout and incorporating some elements of the Tu-144, competed against the Myasishchev M-18 and the Sukhoi T-4 designs.[1] Tu-160 in flight Work on the new Soviet bomber continued despite an end to the B-1A, and in the same year, the design was accepted by the government committee. The prototype was photographed by an airline passenger at a Zhukovsky Airfield in November 1981, about a month before the aircraft's first flight on 18 December 1981. Production was authorized in 1984, beginning at Kazan Aircraft Production Association. Production of the aircraft, designated Tu-160 (factory designation "aircraft K" or "product 70"), was originally intended to total 100 aircraft, although only 35 have been produced, including three prototypes. [edit]Modernization In 2006, the Russian Air Force was expected to receive five modernised and one new-built Tu-160.[2] The Russian Air Force will receive a further five modernized Tu-160s each year, which means that modernization of the fleet could be achieved within three years if the schedule is kept up.[3] Changes announced include completely digital, multireserved, neutron and other nuclear emissions resistant avionics; full support of cruising and steering through GLONASS global satellite positioning system; and an updated version the of the NK-32 engine with increased reliability.[3] Weapon upgrades will allow the use of new nuclear/non-nuclear GLONASS-navigated cruise missiles (Kh-55),[4] and drop laser-guided bombs.[5] Planned upgrades are also to add the ability to handle missiles that launch military or civil satellites;[6] and addition of advanced radar emissions absorbing coating

Obviously, you bought your Reliant because you understood you would be getting efficiency and fun both impeccably combined into one automobile. Car aficionados know that good looks is built into each Plymouth, and understand that only top quality repair Reliant parts will suffice when repairs are needed. Your Plymouth dealership isn't the only place to buy the best repair parts to fix your Reliant. Plymouth automobile drivers have come to expect a certain level of dependability when driving their Reliant around town.
It requires a certain synergy - a need for many cooling components working in concert - to maintain constant engine temperature, and like a house of cards when one goes down they all fail. If you look behind your radiator you'll find your Plymouth Reliant cooling fan motor, blade, and shroud all put together in one large assembly. The purpose of the cooling fan motor is to help lower the temperature of the coolant inside the radiator core before it re-enters the engine by pulling air past its fins. When your Plymouth Reliant isn't traveling at a speed high enough for the air stream to cool the radiator, your cooling fan motor will turn on and assist.
At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents on the phone with enough expertise to help you buy the appropriate Plymouth Reliant part for your needs. When your Plymouth needs the best replacement Cooling Fan Motor, there's no need to trust any store other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. Get your Reliant back on the road with the highest quality replacement parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount.

I am 24 years old, and until now, no man has felt an attraction to me, not the ones who I wanted or at least think as a good prospectors. Men and guys have only seen me as only a work colleague and maximum as a friend like everyone in general.
Why is it happening? Am I cursed in not having a deeper relationship than a female friend? Why can't I attract someone who can be a good and formal boyfriend?
Most Helpful Guy
He's a hardcore no-BS question to ask yourself..
"Why should a guy approach you?"
No really. Give it some thought..
After you're done with the whole "because I'm a nice person, and a good girl, and I'm not mean, I'm very loving and want a relationship" speech.. take a moment to let that rhetoric leave your system completely..
People don't want anyone just because they're "nice"
People are greedy a-holes.. very selfish.. and the question to everyone is..
"what can this person do for me? how am I better off with them than without them?"
For women, the answer is very complicated..
"he validates my emotions, he either makes or has money, he's cute or attractive, he's great in bed, I like the feeling I get knowing how jealous my girlfriends are and how much they secretly envy me, etc.."
Of course, most women would rather die than blatantly admit to any such thing.. Instead, it's usually phrased as..
"I want a guy who listens to me, who is nice and sweet, who is doing something with his life, has ambition, knows what he wants, takes care of himself, blah blah blah"
as Pink Floyd would say.. "Money.. it's a hit.. don't want none of that good good good bullsh*t"
enough with the analogy.. back to guys..
for guys.. the answer to "how am I better off with her than without her?" is fairly simple
With her: sex, emotional closeness & intimacy - time & money
Without her: time & money
without attraction however, sex & emotional closeness & intimacy is worthless & useless.. it's actually a negative.. a guy would feel like he's wasting a huge part of his time on this earth.. to be with a cripple, a genetic cripple, to breed and procreate other genetic cripples.. (and that's why he doesn't do it)
everything starts at sexual attraction.. the unconscious mind tells the guy that this woman is otherwise a useless form of life.. she can't economically sustain herself, if left alone, she would probably never discover ways to get to the moon, or make electricity, etc.. but compared to other useless forms of life.. she's more attractive than the rest.. so if I have to choose one to mate with.. it would be the most attractive..
that's the starting point.. sex is the starting point.. AFTER that point.. what we consider emotional closeness & intimacy is the understanding that this attraction to each other, is mutual.. and that our genetic information is mutually prized & valued.. and more likely to continue to be so in the future, for generations to come..
So if you're wondering why Oprah has a hard time getting laid.. it's not because she's broke or a loser.. clearly.. it's not because she's stupid.. it's not because she's not a nice person.. or good.. or because of her past sexual history.. it's simply because she's not that attractive..
But in life.. you have to learn to ACCEPT the cards you're dealt.. and learn to play them the best you can.. instead of asking for a new hand you'll never receive..11|00|1
You're dropping into conclusions very quickly. I've seen horrendously unattractive girls having boyfriends and having sex, yet attractive "unpolished diamonds" who don't. Mark my words, any girl, except those who are seriously genetically ill (with mental retardation and stuff), can significantly improve to become attractive. It just takes hard working effort (VERY hard).

While it may not be difficult to buy replacement parts for Jeep vehicles, these days only the absolute best are required to maintain your car or truck. Anyone who drives a Jeep knows that when it comes to repairing their vehicle only the most superior replacement parts will do. Auto enthusiasts know that a variety of optional equipment is built into each Jeep, and know that only the highest quality repair J-2800 parts will suffice when repairs are needed. You purchased your J-2800 because its adventure and versatility appealed to your senses; so why would you be okay with anything but the best when it comes to the highest quality auto parts?
Your Jeep J-2800 uses liquid coolant to maintain a constant temperature in the engine, and if there were a heart in that motor it would be the water pump. It rotates in-sync with the crankshaft via a belt that connects pulleys on each part. Along with the thermostat, coolant hoses, and radiator core, your Jeep J-2800 water pump dependably promulgates the water and ethylene glycol mixture throughout hoses and passages in the engine block and cylinder head; keeping operating temperatures down below the boiling point. If it fails, then the coolant temperature will soar and your engine block or cylinder head will crack.
Bring your J-2800 back to life with the highest quality replacement parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Given all the hassles associated with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the first place you go to make purchasing it easy. At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents available with enough expertise to help you select the appropriate Jeep J-2800 part for your needs. Just choose your year from the list below to find the right Jeep J-2800 Water Pump for your 1968, 1967, 1966, 1965 model.

Cuban officials will free a political dissident from prison and let him stay on the island, while nine other inmates jailed for crimes against state security are being sent to Spain, the Roman Catholic Church said Thursday.
The releases are being carried out under an agreement between the church and the government that has so far freed about 100 people, some who have served time for political activism and others for violent, but politically motivated acts.
The Archdiocese of Havana said the government planned to release Oscar Elias Biscet, a dissident who was arrested during an internationally criticized roundup of dissidents in 2003. Seventy-five people were convicted of allegedly taking money and guidance from the U.S. and groups seeking to overturn Cuba's communist system.
Biscet, a physician serving a 25-year sentence, was one of several inmates covered by the church's deal with the government who had refused to accept exile in return for his freedom. His release would leave three of the 2003 dissidents in jail.
The archdiocese also said authorities were freeing nine inmates who had been convicted of state security offenses, which include hijacking, terrorism and possession of weapons. All nine would be exiled to Spain, the church said.
There was no confirmation from the government, which general doesn't comment on the releases. Although it has agreed to free dissidents, the government still characterizes them as mercenaries paid by Washington to stir up trouble.

Construction of North-South Corridor to Be Completed in 2019
YEREVAN (PanARMENIAN.Net) — The construction of the North-South transport corridor stretching from southern Armenian town of Meghri on the border with Iran to Bavra on the Armenian-Georgian border will be completed in 2019, the chairman of the Armenian parliamentary committee on budget and finance issues told a news conference Monday, January 11.
Accoridng to ARKA, the first two sections of the corridor were inaugurated on December 29 last year. The first six-lane section stretches from Yerevan to Artashat; the second one, with four lines, runs from Yerevan to Ashtarak. With a total length of 31 km, both have a 100-110 km/h speed limit.
"Implementation of such a major project is a lengthy, costly and complicated process," Gagik Minasyan said. "When fully constructed, the new highway will link the ports of the Persian Gulf to those on the Black Sea, creating new opportunities for us to use our internal resources."
According to him, implementation of a project of this scale may bring about problems and risks, "but the change of contractor indicates that the government of Armenia is interested in a complete, timely and quality implementation of the project."
Speaking about a string of financial abuses reported, Minasyan said all the culprits had been punished and all the misused funds were recovered. The parliamentarian, however, failed to disclose any numbers.
The North-South Transport Corridor aims to upgrade Armenia's main corridor road as part of a broader push to improve connectivity, and boost trade, growth and livelihood opportunities in the Caucasus and Central Asia sub-regions.
Funds are released by the Asian Development Bank periodically through a multi-tranche financing facility. The project will ultimately enable Armenia to mitigate the effects of the blockade imposed by Azerbaijan and Turkey.

With the tough economic conditions it's getting tougher to manage debt, especially if you have outstanding taxes due.
Luckily you can ease your burden and turn into SARS for help by requesting it to compromise a tax debt.
A compromise is an 'agreement entered into between you as the debtor and SARS and a debtor, allowing you to repay the debt in installments. And as long as you comply with this compromise agreement, SARS WON'T pursue you for the outstanding taxes due,' explains The Practical Tax Loose Leaf Service.
SARS will consider a compromise only if you apply for it. And there are certain things your application should contain.
Provide the following information in your request for the compromise of a tax debt
Knowing that you can ask SARS for tax debt forgiveness by applying for a compromise on a tax debt will help you manage your debt better.

from Hong Kong News,
While ice hockey is hugely popular in North America and Europe, only now, with the advent of indoor rinks, is it catching on in Hong Kong. And the arrival of former NHL star Barry Beck through the Quality Migrant Admission Scheme is sure to write a new page in local ice hockey history.
He believes Hong Kong could compete in the Winter Olympics by strengthening its youth hockey training scheme.
"[There are] many intelligent players. They can learn quickly, so we are able to compete well. We have to continue to work on our youth programme. We might be able to get into the Winter Olympics," he said.

After graduating I moved to my favorite place in the world and our family vacation spot, 30A in Santa Rosa Beach, FL. It is one of the most beautiful and unique places in the world. I loved my new home but the only thing missing was Pure Barre. I'm a very determined person-once I make up my mind, there's no turning back. I was set on bringing a Pure Barre to my paradise and sharing this incredible workout with our little beach town. I was 23 when I opened my 30a studio and I opened my second location 6 months ago in Destin, FL.

Your local studio owner is more than just a smiling face. We handpick each owner with care and consideration, ensuring that each embodies the Pure Barre lifestyle. Behind every smile is a story, and we want you to get to know our incredible family.

text: Culture 14 June 2007 Intellectual kleptomania <strong>The Cult of the Amateur: How Today's Internet is Killing Our Culture and Assaulting Our Econ Sign up for our weekly email * American values are under attack; culture is on the cusp; truth itself may not be strong enough to bat away the onslaught. So thinks Andrew Keen, a (failed) digital media entrepreneur, (amateur) journalist and general harbinger of Web 2.0-related doom. While so many of Keen's contemporaries have been busy lauding the democratisation of creativity brought about by the craze for user-generated content, Keen merely perceives a cacophony of gibberish, a moronic generation of cutters and pasters hammering away under the "law of digital Darwinism". Once a peddler of "the original internet dream" ("I almost became rich"), Keen has since turned self-styled apostate (though he can't resist a spot of blogging). His main argument is simple: "The more self-created content that gets dumped on to the internet, the harder it becomes to distinguish the good from the bad - and to make money on any of it." Add to that the web's dependence on advertising, not to mention our increasingly indulged cravings for gambling, porn and malign gossip, and we find ourselves at the gates of digital hell. Many of Keen's gripes in The Cult of the Amateur are reasonable; but, like his target, they dissolve in a miasma of polemical generalisation and frenzied verbiage. There is no irony in his use of phrases such as "deviant instincts", "intellectual kleptomaniacs" and "the disappearance of truth". It is as though postmodernism, let alone poststructuralism, never happened. Sometimes his soundbites are deeply amusing in their unintended perversity. I particularly liked the reference to Jorge Luis Borges, rendered simply as "a half-blind Argentine" (one who - Keen would have done well to remember - claimed that "to speak is to fall into tautology"). Nor are Keen's arguments particularly original. He refers in his notes to Nicholas Carr's 2005 essay "The Amorality of Web 2.0", in which the "cult of the amateur" slogan was coined. Many of Keen's most salient points are covered by this article; and he is hardly the first to have synthesised a wider selection of statistics and examples in making the case for the prosecution. All of this is frustrating, because Keen's cause is (generally) commendable. A certain half-blind Argentine once envisaged a Babelish single volume of "infinitely thin leaves" containing all of the world's (mis)information. Such things, in the story, caused suicides. Keen refers to the Borges essay behind this short story, "The Total Library", and investigates the barrage of uninformed blogs, malevolent splogs (spam blogs) and insidious flogs (blogs that claim to be independent but are actually in the pay of sponsors). He cites a fake posting by the neo-Nazi NPD on the German version of YouTube, which appeared to be a clip from a respected news show reporting NPD electoral success. He highlights the dangers of click fraud and touches (hyperbolically) on the horrors of surveillance culture. He outlines his concerns over bloggers' lack of accountability, mass digital larceny and the dangers of venerating the wiki. (Will we soon be re-editing the endings of classics before drowning in a sea of "liquid" literature?) The Los Angeles Times recently shrunk in size, dispensing most notably with its books section, which is now folded into the opinion part of the paper. Similar cutbacks have occurred at the Chicago Tribune, Atlanta Journal, Time, Newsweek and, in Canada, the Toronto Star and the Globe and Mail. The trend will surely come to the UK soon. With so much content free online, with print advertising revenue shrinking and the listings market cannibalised by sites such as Craigslist, the newspaper industry is undoubtedly suffering. People are getting used to not paying and, as Carr argued, "free trumps quality all the time". Amateurs are indeed saturating the market, diverting readers from the experts. In Keen's brief "solutions" chapter, the hysteria abates. It is not quite as bad as it seems - and Keen knows it. The techies have been one step ahead of commerce, but companies and governments are catching up. Improved policing of sites, strategic partnerships between news organs and aggregates, tighter copyright laws and edicts such as the US Deleting Online Predators Act of 2006 are all in place and set to proliferate. Newspapers are fast becoming more web-savvy, and fashionable blogs such as the Huffington Post have begun to hire professional journalists. Keen might not like to admit it, but culture has long been at the mercy of advertisers, and swamped with popular rubbish. And for all the fallacious, inward-looking jabber, there is more good writing out there than ever before (Keen's own blog has its merits). Keen rightly questions the dominance of companies such as Google and MySpace, but simultaneously balks at the anarchic freedom that the internet gives consumers. "Amateurish . . . send-ups of popular commercials are rarely flattering," he whines. Sometimes he seems most concerned about big business. Web 2.0 is certainly changing culture; it is destroying many of our old assumptions. Paul Simon, whose worries are enthusiastically embraced by Keen, likens it to a forest fire. But in this, Simon finds room for optimism: "Maybe a fire is what's needed for vigorous new growth."

Enzymes are proteins that catalyze biochemical reactions. Catalysts work by lowering the activation energy of chemical reactions, and enzymes play a major role in biochemical processes in all organisms. Enzyme activity is influenced by many factors, both biotic and abiotic. Factors that affect enzyme activity include temperature, pH, substrate concentration and enzyme concentration. The influence of these can be observed in the laboratory.
All enzymes have an optimum temperature at which they function at the maximum reaction velocity. As molecular motion increases with increasing temperature, enzyme molecules encounter substrate molecules more frequently. But at a certain point, increasing temperature may cause enzyme structure to denature. Amylase is an enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of starch. You can measure the effects of temperature on amylase activity. Set up a series of test tubes kept at varying temperatures and add a starch solution to each. Add a solution of amylase to each. Let the tubes sit for 10 minutes and add iodine to test for the presence of starch in each tube. The iodine will react with the remaining starch and turn a dark purple color.
pH is an expression of the hydrogen ion concentration in a solution. Acidic or alkaline pH can alter the three-dimensional structure of an enzyme, changing the shape of the active site and preventing binding of the enzyme to the substrate. Measure the effects of pH on amylase activity by setting up a series of test tubes with varying pH levels. Add a solution of amylase to each. Let the tubes sit for 10 minutes and test with iodine.
Biochemical reactions can proceed without enzymes, but they will do so very slowly. The rate of a biochemical reaction is directly proportional to the amount of enzyme present. If the enzyme is present in amounts excess to the substrate, the reaction will proceed at the maximum rate. Catalase is an enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide to oxygen and water. You can measure the effect of catalase concentration on catalase activity by adding variable amounts of yeast, an organism that produces catalase, to test tubes. Then add the same amount of hydrogen peroxide to each test tube. Then measure the amount of oxygen gas produced with a syringe.
Substrate concentrations also influence reaction rate. At lower substrate concentrations, the reaction rate is proportional to the substrate concentration. Once substrate concentration exceeds enzyme concentration, there are no more enzyme active sites for the substrate molecules to bind to. You can measure the effect of hydrogen peroxide concentration on catalase activity by adding different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide to several test tubes. Add the same amount of yeast to each test tube, and measure the amount of oxygen gas produced.

Lancashire will be relying on a Norwegian to power them to victory in tomorrow's Tetley's County Championship final against Gloucestershire at Twickenham.
Erik Lund is one half of a successful sporting family that could see brother Magnus playing for England next month when the International Sevens circuit comes to Cardiff and London.
The brothers, whose father Morten was a Norwegian basketball international, learned their rugby at Lancaster Royal Grammar School and are now making strides up the representative ladder.
Erik, 23 and 6ft 8in, has forsaken basketball for rugby and is developing quickly, having played for Winnington Park, Manchester and now Fylde. He played in the quarter-final victory for Lancashire but then missed the semi-final against Cornwall last weekend because Norway were playing in the Amsterdam Sevens.
"I'm due to play for Norway again this summer in various sevens and 15-a-side games," he said.
Erik has reclaimed his place for the final tomorrow in a Lancashire side captained by Sedgley Park's Tim Fourie.
Meanwhile, Magnus, voted the most promising player at Sale this season, is gaining further England recognition, having already played for the national schools sides and under-21s.
The flanker, 19 and 6ft 3in, is likely to be named in the England sevens squad next week and has been earmarked by Sale for Premiership duties next season.
Team details
LANCS (v Gloucs, Twickenham, tomorrow): C Glynn (Waterloo); N Kerfoot (Orrell), P Bailey (Preston), S Casey (Liverpool St H), J van der Venter; R Hitchmough (Waterloo), D McCormack (Sedgley Pk); M O'Keefe (Orrell), M Scott, A Yates (Fylde), P Arnold (Sedgley Pk), E Lund (Fylde), R Senior (Sedgley Pk), D Wilkes (Manchester), T Fourie (Sedgley Pk, capt).

With the release of Ubuntu 6.06 we have some basic assistive technology components in place, but there are still rough edges and work to be done. I hope that this new support forum can help new users of Ubuntu get set up with a working system and where needed help work around some of the known limitations in the current offering.
This should also be a useful place to give feedback about where we are at currently and what feature enhancements we need for future versions. More technical discussions about new feature development will likely continue on the mailing list, in the wiki and the specification tracker in launchpad.
And finally, I'd like to thank the forum staff for setting up this forum section for access questions!

Product details
Introducing the world's first facial epilator and cleansing brush.
Reveal your flawless glow.
Braun Face combines two facial treatments in one battery operated device: precise epilation of the finest hairs & gentle deep pore cleansing with the brush.
"Braun Face gives women confidence and allows them the freedom to choosewhether or not to wear make up. We need to be able to count on beautifully cleansed skin as our foundation."- Jessica Alba
Features and Benefits
Facial epilation – Up to 4 weeks of hair free skin
- Slim head for ultimate precision - The slim epilator head was designed for absolute precision on the face.
- 10 micro-openings capture the finest hairs - The micro-openings of the 10 tweezers will catch the finest hairs down to 0.02mm of width, and only 0.5mm of height, so you don't have to wait for hairs to grow back visibly!
- High frequency plucking - At 200 plucking movement per second, the Braun facial epilator can give you a thoroughly smooth skin for up to 4 weeks in seconds.
- For chin, upper lip, forehead and to maintain eyebrows - From left to right, the two direction switch allows to epilate with ease on both sides of the face.
- Removes make-up and impurities pore deep - The cleansing brush gently oscillates to loosen make up, oil and impurities like pollution and dust, for 6x better cleansing than if done manually.
- Refines and exfoliates via micro-oscillations - With hundreds of micro-oscillations per minute, the brush gently but effectively cleanses even sensitive skin.
- For use in your shower routine - Take your new cleansing brush under the shower, it can be used with water and your favourite cleansing gel.
Important info
What's in the box
- Braun Face facial epilator
- Cleansing brush head
- Cap
- Small cleaning brush
- AA battery
Why epilate on the face?
Epilation has many advantages, as it removes even the finest and shortest hairs from the root. It is 200X faster and more thorough than tweezers. It removes 4X shorter hairs than wax so you don&'t have to wait for the hair to be completely visible. It is much longer lasting (up to 4 weeks) than depilatory creams. And finally, you can epilate at home or on the go, no need to run to that threading appointment.
I've never epilated my face before, how should I go about it?
Start with the unibrow so you can get used to the epilator head, then move to the upper lip and other more sensitive areas around the mouth and jaw line. Epilate in the evening so that any potential redness will have disappeared in the morning.
Can I use it on my eyebrows?
Yes, due to the small plucking system it's perfect to remove hairs between and above eyebrows and to maintain eyebrows in shape. It is not recommended to use the device below the eyebrow line.
Facial cleansing:
How should I use the brush?
The brush can be used everyday on cheeks, T-zone and chin for a more radiant skin. Apply soap, gel, cleansing milk or scrub on your wet skin. Switch on the brush and start on the forehead. You can move to the nose and then outward towards the cheeks on either side. Spend more time on oily zones. It can also be used on
the neck and décolleté.
I have skin problems (acne, rosacea, …), can I use Braun Face brush in my daily routine?
Braun Face brush has been tested by dermatologists and fits most skin types, even sensitive skin. Contact your dermatologist to understand why a gentle oscillating brush is important for skin affected by acne and other conditions.
How often should I change my brush?
You only need to change the brush refill (Face 80) and it is recommended to change every 3 months max, to maintain top performance and hygiene.

DMX: Not Breathing, No Pulse
DMX was at death's door Monday night, not breathing, without a pulse and the signs point to an overdose.
It's a lot worse than the story DMX's people were putting out … that he suffered an asthma attack.
Yonkers cops responded to a call about an unconscious male at a Ramada Inn just after 6 PM. We're told when cops arrived DMX was on the ground in the parking lot next to a parked car. Cops quickly determined he was lifeless, not breathing with no pulse and immediately began CPR. Read more at TMZ…

The Tomb Raider game franchise begun its journey in 18 years ago in 1996, and has come a long way since then. Fans of the game have watched its development over the nearly two-decades it's been around, but do you know everything there is to know about Tomb raider? Here are 10 things you (probably) didn't know about Tomb Raider:
1. The game was initially created as an Indiana Jones rip-off:
Lots of people have speculated, and they are indeed right. Lara Croft was created as a female version of the original raider Indiana Jones.
2. Tomb Raider's name wasn't always Lara Croft
In the beginning, Lara was actually Laura Cruz – a sassy South American character who was also originally supposed to be sociopathic and more than willing to kill.
3. Made of
Originally, Lara Croft was made of 504 polygons. She is now made up of over 4000.
4. Lara Croft is a world record holder:
The Guinness Book of World Records holds the character Lara Croft as the most successful human video game character.
5. The creator team consisted of six people
Core originally created Tomb Raider, the team comprising of only six people: Three artists and three programmers.
6. At one time, Lara Croft was more recognised than the Pope
Time magazine did an online survey in the '90s on the world's most recognised people. Lara scored higher than the pope.
7. Tomb Raider is also a comic book
In 1999, the debut issue of the Tomb Raider comic book was the highest selling comic book of that year.
8. There was only one American-born cast member in the Cradle of Life
In the second Tomb Raider movie (Cradle of Life), Angelina Jolie was the only American-born cast member.
9. Tomb Raider is the 31st most successful gaming franchise
But she is still the most iconic gaming heroine, and the third most successful character behind Mario and Sonic.
10. Tomb Raider was one of the first games created without using first person perspective
Most games of the 1990s were created so the user could feel like a part of the game, and didn't see the characters, but rather were the characters. Lara Croft was among the first to break this trend.
Can you think of anything else not commonly known about Tomb Raider? We'd love to hear your comments.

Though many have called into question GameStop's handling of used game trade-ins and valuations there's no denying the retailer is one of the top places gamers go to for video game purchases. Yes, reselling even a brand new title like Assassin's Creed 3 will not net you full value, but conversely it's possible to find some real gems amongst GameStop's used games section.
Furthermore, the company does its best to secure the best pre-order deals so that gamers who are aware can net themselves some pretty neat bonuses. For example, pre-ordering BioShock Infinite from the retailer unlocks access to an additional game, BioShock: Industrial Revolution.
Unfortunately, GameStop has come under fire this weekend, as it is reported that former GameStop VP of Corporate Communications Frank Olivera embezzled nearly $2 million from the company. On Thursday Olivera plead guilty to one count of mail fraud and could face up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
According to a representative from GameStop (who spoke with Joystiq), Olivera's employment was terminated last year and the company has been cooperating with the federal investigation since news of Olivera's crime broke out. Essentially, Olivera used a fictitious cooperation to funnel money from GameStop into his own personal account.
From July 2009 to April 2011, Olivera was sending payments to Cloud Communications LLC, a Nevada-based company he created, and would then transfer funds from Cloud into a personal account. As the Dallas Observer reports, GameStop initially presumed that it was Cloud's "representative" Jennifer Miller that was guilty of funneling the cash out of the company, but eventually they turned their attentions to Olivera. In total, Olivera was able embezzle $1,965,900 from the company.
It seems like small potatoes considering the game industry is a billion dollar industry, but nonetheless Olivera's crime(s) were pretty severe. Whether Olivera will be sentenced to the aforementioned maximum punishment will have to be determined by the courts, and we'll keep you posted as the story develops.
What do you think of Olivera embezzling almost $2 million from GameStop? Should he face the maximum punishment?

The Indian cashew nuts tended to be smaller and harder, which did
not influence the prices of them in Japan. If you want, you can have a talk with some
of their ex-students to know about the quality of their service.
That said, I still had no idea what public holiday it was, or if
it was one at all.
Korean farmers, for example, will take their pigs to market tied to the

LAFAYETTE —State Sen. Elbert Guillory and Opelousas Mayor Don Cravins squared off in a contentious debate Monday, trading barbs as the two men enter the final campaign stretch for the Nov. 19 run-off for state Senate District 24.
The upcoming election finds Guillory, a lawyer, defending his Senate seat from a man who held it for 15 years before his election as mayor of Opelousas.
Their debate on Monday at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette was marked as much by acrimony as by the issues.
Guillory repeatedly referenced a recent state audit of Opelousas that found questionable contracting practices, poor accounting of cash payments and possible double dipping by an employee.
"They have found a pattern of mismanagement," Guillory said of the state auditors.
Cravins in turn characterized of Guillory as an ineffective legislator who is out of touch with his constituents.
"He is notorious for not returning phone calls," Cravins said.
When asked during the debate whether the two candidates could envision working together after the election, Cravins responded that he would consider it but that he works only with "honest" people.
Guillory said he might work with Cravins if the mayor is not in prison as a result of an FBI investigation related to the recent city audit.
There is no known federal investigation targeting Cravins, who said he would "withstand" any scrutiny of his actions as mayor.
Between barbs, the candidates did hone in on some major issues facing the state and the region.
Answering a question about how to better fund higher education, Guillory said the state must close at least some regional universities and focus on larger schools.
"The state cannot afford that many institutions of higher learning," Guillory said.
Cravins said he believes the state should try to reduce the number of duplicate degree programs and let each university find its speciality, but he said proposals to close regional universities are politically unfeasible.
"I dare say nobody will give their university up," Cravins said.
On the issue of economic development, Guillory stressed the need to lower taxes on businesses while Cravins emphasized the importance of vocation training to build a job-ready work force.
Both candidates agreed on the need to improve K-12 education and on the need for prison reform.
When asked about accomplishments, Cravins cited his work in the Legislature to reform the juvenile justice system and the prison system, and to push through improvements for K-12 education, including after-school tutoring programs.
State funding for those programs has since been cut and Cravins laid partial blame for the loss of funding on Guillory.
Guillory said the tutorial programs were cut only after the state hit a "financial wall."
Guillory touted his work in the Legislature to protect retirement benefits for state workers and in pushing legislation that calls for more job training and counseling to prepare inmates for life after prison.
Guillory said he also worked with state and local officials to free up more than $1 million in slot machine money from the Evangeline Downs Racino that was supposed to go to St. Landry Parish School Board but for years had been kept off limits in an escrow account.
Cravins said the money had been kept out of reach from school officials because of questions of whether it would be used for salaries instead of classroom supplies and equipment.
District 24 takes in St. Landry Parish, northern Lafayette Parish and small portion of St. Martin Parish.
Guillory and Cravins emerged from a three-man primary race for the seat on Oct. 22, with Guillory taking 46 percent of the vote and Cravins taking 41 percent.
A third candidate, Kelly Scott, received 13 percent.
Cravins and Guillory are both Democrats.
The debate on Monday was sponsored by the ULL chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists and the ULL Political Science Club.

Just wondering why the Wolf Among Us is available to those who want to buy on Steam this moment, where as us with preorders through TT games (I got mine through GreenMan Gaming) still are unable to download and play.
Is there any option for us to receive Steam keys for this? I waited up past midnight last night to play, and I still cannot download half way into today.
Please help TT!

Dunn: The reality of it is that Fox News often operates as either the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party. And it's not ideological. I mean, obviously there are many commentators who are conservative, liberal, centrist, and everybody understands that. What I think is fair to say about Fox is — and certainly the way we view it — is that it really is more of a wing of the Republican Party. [...]
They're widely viewed as, you know, a part of the Republican Party — take their talking points, put them on the air, take their opposition research, put them on the air, and that's fine. But let's not pretend they're a news network the way CNN is.
In another interview, Dunn demonstrated that the White House has an accurate perception of Fox: "We're going to treat them the way we would treat an opponent. As they are undertaking a war against Barack Obama and the White House, we don't need to pretend that this is the way that legitimate news organizations behave."
Dunn also stated that the Fox audience is beyond persuasion for the White House. During the election campaign, she said that the Obama camp withdrew its representatives from the station because "It was beyond diminishing returns. It was no returns." Not surprising when one considers that Dick Cheney required that the TV in a hotel suite should be tuned to Fox.

10. Babysitter
I just got out of the shower and ran a towel through my hair, the new tank top already sticking to my skin from excess heat. At least the air conditioning was running but that meant that I didn't have an excuse to act pissy anymore. I mean, anyone would act pissy here but this time I would need a better reason than 'I hate this place and I want to go home'. Repetition gets tiring.
"You're late."
"For what?" I asked lazily, deliberately standing in front of the new A.C. unit vent to cool myself down. The shower water was hot despite every cell in my body protesting. I needed to wash this entire mess of a day off of myself.
"Dinner. C'mere I need to talk to you." Aunt Lou set a plate down in front of me as I sat down at the table.
Oh crap, what'd I do now?
"What's been going on with you?" …Really? Beating around the bush? I've never seen this side of Aunt Lou. I can tell she wants to ask something or get somewhere with me, but not once have I ever seen her ease herself into the question.
"What do you mean?" I asked scooping mashed potatoes onto my plate.
"Why were you so upset that you had to leave D-tent?"
I raised my eyebrows. "Because the A-tenters are assholes."
"Watch your mouth."
There was a brief silence and Aunt Lou put her fork down.
"Look, Bells, I'm going to be blunt with you—"
There it is.
"—I don't really like what this camp is doing to you."
I stared blankly. "What?"
"I don't want you to get too friendly with anyone here."
"I'm not…"
"You've become too attached to D-tent," Aunt Lou said firmly. Well, yeah, that was true. I shrugged.
"They're just nice, that's all."
Aunt Lou sighed and pulled her red hair back up. "Bell, you're not listening," she said quietly.
"That's not true, I am listening. You're saying that you don't want me to get too involved with anyone. You can relax, Aunt Lou, I'm not planning on getting into anything."
I ate quickly and cleared my plate, taking a roll from the basket and heading back to the room.
"He's out in a few months."
I turned around. "Who?"
"You know who."
Well that sounds extremely ominous. "I don't expect him to stay here forever," I murmured.
"He doesn't live far from you."
"Why are you reading so much into this?" I asked, backing up and sitting back at the table. "Don't you think that if anything was going to happen by now it would have?"
"I'm thinking that you don't know what you're getting yourself into," Aunt Lou said calmly, ignoring my scrunched up face. "You're 16. And he's…"
"He's what?" I snapped, earning a warning look.
"He's Squid," she continued, "He's a criminal, honey. And you're not going to change that."
I didn't even know what to do with that. Because to be honest, I don't want to change him. Criminal or not.
I opened my mouth and then closed it again, trying to figure out how to respond, twiddling with my thumbs a bit. My aunt looked at me expectantly and everything, but this entire conversation was just so random and so…important at the same time, I guess, that it deserved a thoughtful answer.
"He's Alan," I finally came up with, "He's my friend. And you're not going to change that."
Without another word, I walked outside with my still-wet hair scrunching into tight waves in the summer heat and my aunt in my wake, not even bothering to say anything.
I walked aimlessly around. I didn't even go in the direction of the camp, really. Well, I started out going that way, but I then decided that walking in the early night among the holes with no one around was the weirdest sort of peaceful that I could ever ask for in that moment.
I sat down at the edge of some random hole after checking for snakes and lizards and lay there with my legs dangling and my eyes on the stars.
"It's way too early in the summer for shit to be this complicated," I muttered to absolutely no one, throwing my arms behind my head and stretching out.
"You're telling me."
The voice made me jump, which was really, really awkward because since I was lying down, I looked like I had a shitty form of a seizure.
"Why're you doing that?"
"Doin' what?"
"That creepy crawly thing in the shadows," I muttered, a little bit pissed but more embarrassed than anything. I don't like looking ridiculous in front of people. And looking ridiculous in front of him pisses me off because I need to save face.
"I own this land, Spit-fire, I move with the dirt," X-ray said, sitting down next to me. "Why are you out so late?"
"Should be asking you the same thing," I said as he attempted to clean his glasses on his dirty orange jumpsuit. And it wasn't that late. For him it was because they normally go to bed early, but for me it wasn't. I should have probably been exhausted, though, after today. It's very tiring dealing with idiots.
X-ray laughed a deep, throaty laugh.
"Saw you heading out here. Where were you today?"
"I've been exiled," I muttered disdainfully. This was so unnecessary, I didn't feel like repeating it because it sucked enough just thinking about it.
"To where?" He sounded shocked, but really he had a right to be; there were only so many places you could be exiled to in this dump considering it was an exile within itself.
"To the wonderful stomping grounds of A-Tent," I spat. X-ray shuttered. I've never seen X-ray shutter.
"You scared of them?" I sniggered. He scowled and scoffed at the same time, because he was multifaceted like that. Didn't know this camp taught them talent.
"No. They're such a joke. No one here respects them."
"Ah, no street cred?"
"None," X-ray affirmed. "Don't say 'street cred'," he added as an afterthought.
"Duly noted."
"So…you think you're coming back?" X-ray asked slowly. I shrugged.
"On what?"
"On whether or not the escape is worth it," I said with a grin. He nudged me.
"You don't just bail on your tent mates. We gave you a nickname."
"Am I a dog with a collar now?" I asked. He laughed.
"Only if you want to be," he smiled. "C'mon girl, you're Spit-fire. You're a D-tenter. Putting you with A-tent isn't cool."
"Nothing's cool around here," I said sardonically. He shrugged.
"So what would make it worth it for you to come back?"
I looked at him with an expression that made him sigh because he knew that I was going to give him so much crap for that. "Awwww does wittle X-ray miss me?"
"I won't if you keep talkin' in that voice."
I pinched his cheeks. "Wittle X-ray's soooo tough, yes he is! Yes you are! You're a big tent leader, oh yes!"
He swatted my hand away. "I hate you so much."
"Oh did I make you angry? You'll still share the shovels with me, won't you X? I mean you can't take away my toys! I'll get the warden to put you in time out."
"Enough, I get it," he said frowning. "All I meant was that it was weird not having you annoy us today."
"It was one day, X." I was pointedly ignoring that 'annoying' comment. I don't annoy them. I make the tent interesting. He's such a bullshitter. "And I only have to dig one hole a week anyway."
"You dug way more with us," he said, a confused look on his face, which then turned into a smile. Not the kind that would be friendly and nice, more of the kind that Cruella De Ville would wear after…I dunno, burning puppies or something like that.
She was a sick fuck, wasn't she?
I mean not that she completely burned them, that'd just be messed up even for her, but the point was that she killed them, didn't she? I mean, she would have if those puppies weren't so damn smart (and by the way, it was pretty sad that they could out do her, don't you think?). And why Dalmatians anyway? They totally needed their fur, maybe more than the other dogs. Back when I was convinced that I was going to be a vet when I grew up, I actually read somewhere that they can't survive anyway in even semi-freezing weather because their fur is so short. What kind of messed up chick would do that to a bunch of cute puppies?
Didn't matter. I didn't get to finish the thought anyway because I found myself being pulled into the sweatiest form of a noogie. "Aw Spit-fire, I had no idea how much you cared! You were willing to dig more with us because you just loved us so much!" Ow, Ow, OW his knuckles hurt. Forget the smell, I want my skull in one piece, please.
I could totally feel the dirt embedding itself in the clean hair anyway. Great. Now I needed another shower when I got home. This place hates hygiene. At least this way I could stay away from Aunt Lou for a while.
"Get off!" I struggled, knowing that my efforts were no use because, let's face it, months of digging haven't been lost on him. I swear to God if I had to die out here because of suffocation due to smell and loss of blood due to the cruelest form of scalping I will come back as a ghost and haunt X-ray for the rest of his bloody life.
He laughed. No. He cackled as I tried to futilely move his arm. "I'ma girl!"
I was reserving that card for the time where I knew I had to be desperate, but there you go. He stuck it out for a good two minutes longer before finally releasing me.
"Oh my God," I breathed, cradling my neck and doing those yoga type moves where you roll it around and stuff. You know. To make sure that it wasn't broken or whatever. "So uncalled for."
"Was not," he said childishly.
"Was too."
Can you tell we're intelligent just by this conversation alone? I'm so brilliant with my wit overwhelming everybody around me. It's a gift, really.
"Anyway, did Donkey try to talk to you?" X asked. That reminded me…
"Okay everyone called him 'I.V.', what the hell is up with this whole thing?" What, one nickname isn't enough for these people, some of them have to be greedy little bitches and grab two?
"He's 'Donkey'. Trust me." X said wryly. "He's too much of an idiot to be anything else."
"So why not just call him Jackass?"
"Because we like to be cordial at Camp Green Lake," he said, grininng. I looked at him dryly for that comment.
"Kill yourself."
"Eh. Later. Too much to do now," he told me nonchalantly. I scoffed.
"You still didn't explain the 'I.V.' duel identity," I pointed out.
"He likes to call himself 'I.V.' because he claims that he sent a kid to the I.V. to get here." X-ray brushed it off.
"And he didn't?"
"How do you know?"
"I read his file."
I jumped about four thousand feet in the air. Actually that's an exaggeration. Not an exaggeration, really, more of a total lie. I didn't jump, I fell. Gracefully, or something I hope. But there I went. Right into a hole.
"Why do you people do that?" I was a little outraged and my knee hurt and I swear to God I thought that I heard something moving in the corner. Also it was pretty damn dark by now so I couldn't see and this whole thing was really bothering me and—
"Do what?"
"That! That creepy crawly thing in the shadows like that!" I said, practically throwing a tantrum. I hate boys. I hate D-tent boys. I hate A-tent boys more, but D-tent boys are irritating me at the moment.
I hate déjà vu the most, though. That was just mean.
Eh, maybe not. I don't hate déjà vu the most. I hate toothpicks the most.
"You had fair warning that I do that, you were with me the last time I did it." He threw the toothpick behind his ear (or at least I think he did—his silhouette made some sort of vague motion that indicated that sort of thing) and squatted down over the edge of the hole.
"The difference between creeping in the shadows to avoid getting shot by Mr. Sir while we key his car and creeping in the shadows just to see me fall into holes for your own amusement is very large."
"Stop complaining."
An awkward minute passed and he watched me and X watched him watch me and I watched X watch him watch me.
We did a round-robin thing. It's fun being coordinated.
For a vague second I wondered what a game of duck-duck-goose would be like with them.
"Um. No hand up?" I asked, wondering why he would just sort of sit there—squat there, actually—and look at me in the hole and seriously where the hell is that rustling noise coming from, I'm freaking out!
Squatting is a very awkward thing to do, don't you think? Like you don't ever want to squat for a really long period of time, it hurts your ankles. He's totally superhuman if he can just do that and allow it to feel comfortable.
He smirked. I looked at him and even through the semi-darkness I saw his lip curl. Ugh. What a brat.
I reached up and grabbed the neck of his t-shirt and pulled very hard, causing him to fall from his squatted position—NOT gracefully, I might add-and tumble into the hole with me.
"What the hell?"
"You smirked."
"Alright, I'll leave you two kids to it," X-ray said, kicking in dirt purposely as he went. I laughed openly because it all went in Squid's face and he did this thing like he had to sneeze but didn't really muster it up. I watched X walk away and Squid flicked my head because I guess he's an attention whore or something. I swatted at his hand and he laughed a little.
"So A-tent, huh?" I heard him ask, triggering a grumble from me. I crossed my arms across my chest and slid down against the hole, landing on the ground.
"How many times have you been hit on?"
"Too many to count." I'd rather not relive the moment, thanks.
He chuckled. Which was weird because I wasn't sure if I should crack a clown joke and make fun of him or be slightly offended that he laughed at my pain.
"Oh. Sure. Laugh it up now. But when my favorite boy totally takes advantage of me, you'll feel sorry for this entire situation right here," I warned. I have a feeling that he didn't take me seriously because his chuckle was up-ed a little bit in energy.
"C'mon Spit-fire, I'd never take advantage of you." He flashed me a grin and sat down beside me in the hole. I sighed.
"Think what you want, Squid," I said. "You are on the same level as anyone else around here."
"And Jackass is so much better than me?" he asked, totally disgruntled. I smiled because I liked that I got under his skin like that.
"I thought you boys at Camp Green Lake liked to be cordial," I mimicked. He shoved me which I hated because I had to put my arm out to steady myself.
"Feel free to shut up."
"I could do that but that would make the situation completely uncomfortable because it's difficult having a one-sided conversation with someone," I told him.
"I know. I live with Zero," he pointed out. I shrugged.
"Zero can talk when he wants to. You people just don't have anything interesting to say back."
He surveyed me. "You talked to him recently."
"Oh yeah. We're buddies." I smirked, but wasn't really willing to go too far into it considering what we actually talked about. I paused before continuing. "Hey, Squid?"
"You…don't have to worry about me, y'know."
He turned his head to look at me away from the wall that he was previously staring at, which I guess was extremely interesting.
"Yeah I do," he said, getting slowly to his feet, backing away with wide eyes.
I looked at him, my eyebrows lowered to indicate seriousness. Because at this point I didn't like being thought of as the damsel in distress, it was kind of annoying. Not only annoying, but it wasn't good. For him and me, really. It was one thing to try and lead him away from the thought that he always had to watch out for me. It was another thing to like it.
"No you don't," I told him, more force behind it. I began to shift around, attempting to get to my feet a bit clumsily because my legs were crossed beneath me. I was about to put my hand down but he grabbed my wrist and pulled me upwards so quickly that I swear my shoulder was pulled out of its socket.
"What're you--?" his arms were around my waist and he was lifting me up—which seemed ridiculously effortless for him—out of the hole where I landed unceremoniously on the ground in a mess of odd, spread-eagled limbs and 'oof'noises.
And that's when I heard an extremely loud hiss.
Oh shit.
He was out of there with lightening speed, taking my hand and running with only one glance back to make sure that I was keeping up.
He pulled me along until we were back at camp and when he thought it was safe, he let go of my hand and put his own on his knees, panting. I slumped down in exhaustion because, contrary to his belief, I don't have legs as long as his and they are most definitely not suited for running at warped speed.
"'The hell--?"
"Lizard," he got out, breathing heavily. "Yellow spots."
There was more heavy breathing from the both of us and he put his arms on his head, walking around a bit.
"You—" breath. "don't think."
…I have to object to that, I think a lot.
"You—" pant. "don't just stay in holes in the middle of the night. Fall in, get out." Deep breath.
I was too tired to say something back, so he continued.
"I—"sigh. "Don't want you hurt. Or killed. That's all." He let his hands drop to his sides and looked utterly exhausted.
I stared at him and grabbed his hand, tugging him gently down with me. (See that, Squid? Gently).
"Thank you," I said quietly.
He nodded. "You don't need a babysitter," he said, staring forward at the lifeless camp. "I wasn't trying to be one."
I paused. "What were you trying to be?"
He looked at me. For a really long time. I didn't know why. And really? I don't think he knew either.
"Goodnight, Bella."
He got up and walked back towards D-tent and I watched him go the whole way. I did want an answer, but I didn't expect one. As predictable as I'd like to say that he is, he has a really extreme habit of surprising me.
I sat there for about ten more minutes, the light poles from the camp lighting up the ground so at least I could see what was going on, before dusting myself off and walking back towards the cabin.
