The Secrets We Keep.
Published by Unit7 in the blog Unit7's blog. Views: 143
I was watching the music video of Let Me Go by 3 Doors Down and I was sorta inspired to write this story. Not my best, hell not even clsoe, but oh well.
Secrets We Keep
Tyler walked briskly from through the campus as the afternoon sun reached its zenith. When he passed a group of friends he shrugged their invitations off and waved good bye. Tyler was on a mission and he couldn't let anyone or anything stand in his way. For the first time since he could remember he felt a powerful feeling at the pit of his heart. He had joked and teased his friends for becoming 'whipped' by their girlfriends. He had never had a lasting relationship and often became nothing more then a booty call. Now he wondered if he could ever return to that loveless existence.
Tyler found Sarah alone on the soccer field. At the sight of her Tyler felt his heart soar and the darkness of the world obliterated by her very presence. He stood there for a moment, admiring everything about her. The way her dark hair fluttered gently in the breeze. After he captured the image in his mind, he ran out to the field and wrapped his arms around her from behind. She gave a small start and quickly relaxed into Tyler's arms.
"What you doing out here alone?" Tyler asked. Sarah made a sniffling sound before replying.
"Just thinking," her voice was strained and Tyler could tell she had been crying. He turned her around and looked deeply into her eyes. "Did I ever tell you I used to play?" She said as she broke from his arms. He let his arms fall to his side and watched as she ran off kicking a soccer ball. She played through the motions as if she were going up against an army. He enjoyed the performance all the way up until she scored against an invisible goalie. Tyler began clapping and shouting his praise as he began running towards her and embracing her in a tight hug.
"Why on earth did you quit?" He asked as they walked off the field.
"Problems at home," she whispered, biting her fingernail. Tyler tried to look past the habit, knowing it meant she was hiding something. Tyler wrapped his arm around her shoulder and she snuggled close.
The rest of the afternoon was spent in a blissful state. No classes that day, nothing to do but to hang with each other at an old diner, the first place they met. The booth was private allowing them to be close without the prying eyes of others. When the meal came, a shake and french fires, they began feeding each other and laughing as they talked.
"I have to go," Sarah said biting her fingernail. Her face became serious and distant as they scooted out of the booth. At the beginning of their relationship he had been annoyed by her seemingly abrupt leaving, often without a word of explanation.
Curiosity bested him, as he dropped her off at her house he drove around the block and returned, just down the street. He felt foolish and hated what he was thinking. There couldn't have been another guy, surely he would have known. An hour passed and as he was about to bring his car to life and drive to his dorm, he was stopped. He heard Sarah's door open and walk out to her car. As she pulled out of the drive way Tyler turned his car on and began following her.
He hated himself for doing this, he should be able to trust her, yet there was that gnawing feeling of curiosity persisted to drive him crazy. When she turned into the parking lot of a strip club, Tyler couldn't believe it. He had been there on occasion, mostly for bachelor parties. Sarah parked and didn't get out right away. Maybe it was just a stop? Picking up a friend? Tyler parked close by, hoping she wouldn't recognize his vehicle. After a moment, she stepped out and something came over Tyler. Anger, how could she do something so degrading? He left his car and ran up to her.
"What are you doing here?" He asked clenching his fists.
"Tyler!" Sarah said looking away.
"Please tell me your here to pick up a friend," Tyler said as he trembled slightly.
"Just go home, please?" She turned her back on him but before she could leave Tyler grabbed her shoulder.
"Not until you explain." He said not letting go. She turned around, her face hardened.
"I can't, I-" She whispered but was cut off.
"Is this man bothering you?" The bouncer said puffing out his chest.
"Earl it's fine. Tyler just go home." She pleaded. He let go and allowed his arms to fall to his side. He clenched his teeth and felt a dull anger of betrayal beat at his temples. Tyler walked back to his car and sat there for a long time. Every guys fantasy was to get with a stripper, he had been living that little fantasy unknowingly. He didn't drive off and instead simply sat there in the dark, watching the bouncer do his work. When the bouncer's changed he gathered his nerve and entered the place. He looked at the bar, a busty blonde was standing behind the counter. He scanned the floor and when he still couldn't see Sarah he looked up on the stage. A blonde and a red head were pole dancing, slowly and seductively removing their clothing. Maybe he had just imagined seeing her? His relief was short lived when he heard the announcer call out Sarah's name. He froze, hoping against everything that it wouldn't be her. That it was some other Sarah. As the crowed began clapping and wolf whistling Sarah walked out. She wore a mini plaid skirt, and a black top tied in a knot. As the music began to play, she slowly began to dance. Tyler was both revolted and paralyzed at the sight. But there was something about her face that bothered him, her face looked distant and mournful. After breaking the spell binding dance, he left.
The next day on campus instead of finding Sarah he hung with his friends, trying to forget he had ever met her. When she found him, she tugged on his sleeve playfully. He looked over his shoulder and saw her gorgeous smile, in narrowed his eyes and shrugged her off returning to the conversation at hand. Again she did this, not understanding.
"Look we need to talk," Sarah said. Tyler looked down into her eyes and could tell something was off.
"I'll catch up to you guys later." He said as he dragged her away. When they found a secluded spot he let loose all his anger.
"Whats wrong?" She asked.
"What the hell do you think?" He shouted. "I saw you up on that stage, how could you do something like that?" She gasped looked down at her feet, biting her nails.
"Look you don't understand..." she whispered. "I can explain."
"No you look. You either drop the job or we are through." With that he left her as she slumped against the wall gently crying.
That night curiosity got the better of him again. When Sarah got off work, he followed her back home wondering if there wasn't something he was missing. When she got to the door a middle aged women stepped out, and Sarah pulled out money. Drugs? Tyler thought. She had the same look on her face, the one she had while she was on that stage. The older women left, and through open curtains Tyler watched her. She disappeared into a room, and came back out and entered another he can see into. How had he never noticed it? Sarah bent down low over a crib, and pulled up a baby girl.
"Did I ever tell you I used to play?" her words rang clearly inside his head as Sarah kissed her daughter on the forehead. A mix of sorrow and pride on her face. It wasn't until then did he realize he had never been inside her house. The missing pieces of the puzzle were no longer missing. Tyler sat there, crying and hating himself for being weak.

- I am still running even though
- I was surprised with how incredibly unfit I was and that surprises me that
- I am actually getting better
As I said when I started this http://outspokenhobbit.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/1st-run-of-year.html I have been gathering statistics on every run and averaging them out over each week of the C25K programme. I've decided to make this public in case anyone is interested. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-7xcvGz_rH-HVOS9o4qSADZZ4iFWtFigdp-tGxYg--o/edit?usp=sharing Apart from the raw data I have learnt a few other things:
- Running with spectacles, in the rain, while getting too warm means you spend way too long trying to wipe away the rain and haze.
- Hills are hard, but only in one direction
- Never judge a run by your heart. I can feel that a run has gone badly but the realz of the stats show that the run was awesome
- Running makes me feel so much better

The Match Made in Hell Bash
Something Metal is a one stop resource for the Metal Music scene in the Pacific Northwest. Featuring bands, venues, upcoming shows and promotions.
Klover Jane
KLOVER JANE grabs you by the shirt and roars into your soul. They're an adrenaline-blast of pure Rock-N-Roll; with mouth watering guitar riff's, a bone-invading rhythm and the lyrical juice of unapologetic truth from the smooth wail of front man Rane Stone.
Listening to KLOVER JANE is like listening to the "love child of Axl Rose and Andrew Wood," says an awestruck CJ Plain of TapDetroit, who hears in them a "passion, fury and style, that's long been missing from music."
Even the hard to break Seattle Music Scene is forecasting national attention for their beloved KLOVER JANE.

Even the hard to break Seattle Music Scene is forecasting national attention for their beloved KLOVER JANE.
Sons of Mercury
Sons of Mercury is a new band dedicated to the sound of classic metal. Playing covers from some of the greatest bands of all time as well as originals.
Hellbelly is a hard rock band from Olympia, Washington established in September 2012.
Splintered Throne
Splintered Throne started up in 2006 as a project encompassing everything from death metal to rock and pop music. Founded by guitarist Jonathan Schlosser and vocalist Brian Garrison, the band over time began to transition into more of a hard rock vibe with the loss of Doug Parks on drums and the addition of Yves Prince. Having made several line up changes through the years, two remaining original members that continue to carry the ST torch are vocalist Brian Garrison and bassist Brian Bailey. In the summer of 2010, Brian Garrison made a key decision to change up the ranks with a much more defined melodic power metal sound and image for the band. This started by bringing on Jason Moser (AKA J-Mo) on guitar who would replace Jonathan and Kris Holboke on drums. J-Mo's background in speed and thrash metal combined with the progressive-mixed-with-thrash drumming of Kris has put the band in a sound liking to such European bands like Primal Fear, Edguy, and Firewind while retaining the American sounds of classic thrash acts such as Death Angel, Anthrax, and Old School Metallica. In 2013 the addition of Fred Osborn as a second guitar player gives Splintered Throne that twin lead guitar attack that combines both trade off solos and harmonys akin to Iron Maiden and Thin Lizzy. In addition to well over an hour of original material, the band does "Splintered" covers of classic rock and 80′s tunes transforming them into the modern power metal sound and style.

Sexuality Based Tipping: North Carolina Patrons Leave Bible Verse And Prayer Instead Of Cash
Apr 19, 2016 05:00 AM EDT | By Mark Jason Alcala
A North Carolina waitress recently discovered that instead of leaving money for her tip, a couple of diners offered an unsolicited prayer and left a Leviticus verse instead. For waitress Alexandra Judd, the customers targeted her for her sexuality being a lesbian and the bible verse is particularly spiteful - it calls for death to gay people.
Judd, who works for Zada Janes located in Charlotte's Plaza Midwood area, was infuriated with she considers to be a hateful gesture. Apparently, the diners wrote on the tip portion of the bill a bible passage from Leviticus 20:13 which reads, "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."
The diners even added a note at the bottom of the bill saying "Praying for you."
Venting her frustration over the offending note, Judd posted a photo of the bill on her Facebook account, but she erased the card details and the name of the customer respecting the customer's privacy according to YahooNews. In her post, Judd wrote announced that she does not need anyone praying for her because she has want she wants out of life.
Judd admits that the turn of events caught her off-guard as she did not expect the discriminatory act to happen, living in a more tolerant age. Judd recounts that the ladies who left the note were rude and didn't seem to want to talk to her, reports WNCN.
North Carolina has recently approved an anti-LGBT legislation, a move that is seen by many to be a step backward for the LGBT community who are striving for equality. In particular, LGBT residents of the state must use the bathroom based on their birth certificate's indicated sex and not their orientation or identity.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Sebastian Stan Researched Cold War And More For CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER
Beyond Ed Brubaker's story arc,
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
star Sebastian Stan says he looked into brainwashing and more in preparation for his role in the Marvel sequel! Check it out!
Filed Under: "
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Movie Web | MTV News
Honoring Ed Brubaker's Winter Soldier storyline may have been the goal for
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
cast and crew, as
MTV News
notes, but Sebastian Stan looked into much more in preparation for his sub-titular role. When
Movie Web
asked the Romanian actor if his personal background played a role in his approach to Bucky Barnes, Stan says,
"I was born in Romania, yeah...That's funny, because my friends used to tease me. I grew up, in some sense, in a communist country. I lived there until I was eight years old, but there were still communism. My friends would tease me and call me a red. Its funny, cause, low and behold, I end up with a Red Star on my shoulder. It was a neat little coincidence."
After three to five months of physical training for long, epic fight scenes, Sebastian Stan says,
"I dove into the whole cold war thing. I looked at the KGB. I looked at all kinds of spy movies, and all kinds of documentaries about that time, and what it was about. I grabbed anything from that time period. Anything about brainwashing. Just anything, cause I had the opportunity to do it. I went all over the place."
Stan researching the KGB, Cold War and even brainwashing likely indicates the Winter Soldier's backstory will translate almost directly onto the big-screen. This isn't a huge surprise, but it does, perhaps, hint that we'll see that backstory in flashbacks, where we'll also explore Black Widow's past with the soldier and more, and how it all relates to current events in the movie. For the full interview with Sebastian Stan, head over to
Movie Web
and also watch MTV's chat with him below.

"Captain America: The Winter Soldier" picks up where "Marvel's The Avengers" left off, as Steve Rogers struggles to embrace his role in the modern world and teams up with Natasha Romanoff, aka Black Widow, to battle a powerful yet shadowy enemy in present-day Washington, D.C.

The creative production team on the film includes director of photography Trent Opaloch, production designer Peter Wenham, editors Jeffrey Ford, A.C.E. and Mary Jo Markey, A.C.E. and three time Oscar®-nominated costume designer Judianna Makovsky.

The Implosion of the Darlings
The other day I pointed out that the tell of the gold market appeared to be in the interplay of the individual stocks and their moving averages (50/200DMA). It turned out to be prescient. Also the royalties were telling a story, they were signaling all was not well, especially of course SLW. Sure one could blame the prebought deal exclusively for its trouble, but the price action to me was signaling worse troubles.
Let's take a look at the royalties and GLD
Note I included Osisko (my main core position). Its not yet a darling and it hasn't quite imploded, but it could be a top formation. I have pared my position back down to my non-tradable core. Again, I place the GLD next to the royalties for a reason as the royalties strip out the operational production risk and trade chiefly off the gold price. Obviously its sending a message…phase III maybe!
Now let's look at the high cost behemoths, how they doing and what are they saying? I think NEM was a giant head fake for those perma turnaround gold bugs
Finally the silver majors are making spectacular moves off their highs

The property belongs to a Castilian family and is professionally run. Family romms are wide and some of them even look like duplex units. Free and fast working wifi all aroun the hotel. desktop with rpinter at the main entrance and thus allowing you to print your boarding passes before arriving to the airport: I found it a nice touch.Shuttle service to the airport running every half an hour, but early morning the bus is overcrowded so it is wise to reserve your places at the reception the night before. If you walk left from the hotel and you turn left at the fiest traffic lights you will reach Plenilunio, a huge mall with lots of restaurants and shops. It takes around 20 minutes on foot to reach this mall. Otherwise only critic I can say about the hotel is that some of the food chosen at the lobby bar was poorly defrozen and kept some ice inside. Otherwise I can recommend the property if you travel with your family.

If you're lazy about cutting coupons like me, (somehow picking up the newspaper that lands at my door on Sunday is too much to muster during a Texas summer when it's 108–literally) try Target's mobile coupons. Great thing about Target is they don't send you any text spam–only coupons that are super easy to use at checkout. Visit Target.com to sign up.
Endorse! That's with an Exclamation Point.
There's times where I don't care how cheesy I sound because I'm really that enthusiastic about a product: Diet Coke (you've heard of my addiction). Gold Peak Tea (it's the only bottled tea that actually tastes like real tea). Hot & Sour Soup (hot AND sour, how can you lose!?). I have a new one.
Endorse! is a cool brand-new Facebook app that basically pays you to be a brand ambassador for your favorite products. The idea for Endorse is to connect brands to their most loyal and most influential customers. Purchase products, mail in your receipts and receive 10% cashback. If you add "followers" who also buy the same products, they get 10% and you can increase your cashback percentage to 100%.
Here's how it works:
1. Visit www.endorse.com and login with your Facebook account.
2. Type in your favorite products such as Diet Coke or stores such as CVS or Target as I did, and click Endorse. Just like other referral programs on Groupon and Gilt, it's good karma to join using your friends' links. That way they get some credit for simply telling you about the program.
3. Now just save your receipts from your favorite stores and mail them in the free postage-paid envelope. For example, I purchased Diet Cokes at CVS yesterday. Before I shopped, I endorsed both on Endorse, so when I mail in my receipt, I'll receive 10% back for shopping at CVS and 10% back for purchasing Diet Coke.
Why does it work? With cashback shopping sites, big brands have ways to connect with their most loyal online shoppers, but bricks-and-mortar shoppers are more difficult. Endorse connects those big brands with their most loyal customers and rewards them.
Can I editorialize a little bit here? I really really hope people don't find a way to take advantage of the system. Currently, there's no limit to the number of brands you can endorse and no deadline to submit your receipts. I'm sure these and other policies will adjust accordingly. But I'm so impressed by how the CEO, Steven Carpenter, personally signed the welcome card as shown below. And how he went on Deal Seeking Mom's blog to personally address every reader's question. I'm impressed that the envelopes are sent to you free and postage-paid, whereas many other companies would find it cost prohibitive. Finally, I'm impressed to the attention to detail that Endorse! provides. I'm so excited to get started!
Here's a list of the products I endorse. Click to receive 10% cashback for every purchase of these items and more:
Bath & Body Works
Best Buy
Birds Eye Steamfresh Vegetables
Bud Light Chelada (seriously, these things are awesome!)
Campbell's Soup
Diet Coke
Missioni mania photos from Target
When I arrived at Target at 8:15 a.m., this was all that remained– a large man in the red shirt. He said when the store opened at 8 a.m., he had a line of 75 women waiting at the door for the highly anticipated Missioni for Target clothing, accessory and housewares event. West Plano women with their Burberry and Louis Vuitton bags swarmed the store, according to one woman I talked to in line, "grabbing anything I could find."
I grabbed the very last piece on the rack, a black and white zigzag (as seen on the Missioni sign above) short-sleeve shirt for $29.99 and cradled it as my own. As I walked to the checkout, two women were in front of me with handfuls of clothes, bags, scarves and housewares. $750 was the first lady's total. The second lady held up three black and white zigzag button down blouses for $39.99 against her, and mumbled "I'll put these back for someone else." That someone else was me.
I got caught up in the mania, and grabbed all three. Like a Lord of the Rings character whispering "precious," I scurried to the checkout holding three identical shirts in assorted sizes, reasoning with myself–I'll buy one for me and sell the rest.
This Missioni event was huge. Really. Twenty page spread in Vogue. Buzz throughout the industry. And it single-handedly took down the Target.com website for more than three hours. The store manager said they wouldn't restock, so once its gone, its gone.
I'm still clutching my black and white blouse, cradling it and whispering "precious."

More Lutheran Satire:
More Lutheran Satire:
Inspired by Peggy McIntosh's "White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack," which has become required reading on college campuses across the country: "I was taught to see oppression in every human act and artifact, not in the occasional individual acts of meanness."
Daily Effects of Postmodern Privilege
I decided to try to improve myself by identifying some of the effects of postmodern privilege in my daily life. I have chosen to explore the most popular categories of personhood (race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexual orientation), rather than those factors that might complicate my postmodern worldview (reason, truth, beauty, virtue, free will). As far as I can tell, my rational and religious acquaintances with whom I come into frequent contact cannot count on most of these conditions:
I am not told that my deepest moral convictions must be relegated to my home.
I can be pretty sure that an argument with a colleague of another ideology won't result in an organized campaign of harassment that threatens my livelihood.
I can avoid spending time with people who openly disagree with me because those who harbor divergent opinions are often labeled rapists, homophobes, and bigots.
I can go shopping without fear that a sanctimonious hipster will harass me for not buying fair trade or certified organic products.
I can turn on the television or look at the front page of the paper and be sure to find praise for people who think like me and unabashed disdain for those who don't.
When I am told about our national heritage or about "civilization," I can be fairly sure that most scholars agree with me that these are pejorative terms, synonymous with colonization, exploitation, and oppression.
If I want, I can be sure to find a publisher for this piece on postmodern privilege, especially if I reference Jacques Derrida.
I can be casual about whether to listen to dissenting opinions because it is easy to label other ideas as microagressions.
I can go into a music shop and count on the most popular musicians being as elitist as me.
I can be influenced by artists and scholars from diverse backgrounds without people saying I am engaging in cultural appropriation.
I can criticize free enterprise while still benefitting from said economic system without the fear of being seen as a hypocrite.
I do not have to teach my children how to talk about religious principles in secular language in order to avoid public ridicule.
I can use sophisticated language and wear a suit and tie without derision because it is assumed I do so only ironically.
I can speak in public to powerful government agents without having my tax-exempt status put on trial.
I can do well in a challenging situation without people saying I ought to "check my privilege."
I am never asked by reporters to speak to whether everyone in my particular religious group might hypothetically be open to providing goods or services at a gay wedding.
I can be pretty sure that if I ask to talk to a government official she or he will share my ideological convictions.
I can easily see people in sitcoms, movies, news programs, and public-school textbooks who share my guilt for living in a prosperous nation.
If I declare there is a racial issue at hand, or not, my ideological affiliation will lend me more credibility than someone who believes in "evidence" and "proof."
Major media outlets do not falsely accuse me or my children of fostering rape culture for simply engaging in traditional courtship rituals at wealthy southern schools.
I can seek wealth without being seen as greedy or self-serving, especially if said wealth is accumulated by means of redistribution.
I can take a private jet across the country to attend a conference of environmental activists without fear of my colleagues branding me a fraud.
If a day, week, or year is going badly, I need not ask if it is my fault; I know it is someone else's.
I can think of many options—regarding my gender identity, gender expression, or sexual orientation—without being bound to reason, tradition, or nature.
I can be late to a meeting without it reflecting poorly on me because it is assumed that I commute by bike so as to reduce my carbon footprint.
If I cannot rely on the power of influence, I can be relatively certain that government coercion is an option for me to get my way.
I can easily find academic courses and institutions that are slavishly devoted to my nihilistic, neo-Marxist philosophy.
I can expect figurative language and imagery in all postmodern art and literature to be either opaque or so exceedingly obscure as to advance my status as a highly sophisticated member of the intelligentsia.
I have no difficulty fomenting discontent in neighborhoods where people have traditionally been largely satisfied with their lives.
I will feel welcomed and "normal" wherever vehement expression of sentimentality triumphs over "reason."
Peter Johnson studied postmodernism in both the English and philosophy departments of New York University. His deep understanding of what George Will described as the "degenerate egalitarianism of the intelligentsia" made him an exceptional candidate for the Peace Corps, where he taught beekeeping to subsistence farmers in rural Paraguay, despite having no previous experience keeping bees.
After the Peace Corps, he lived in Senegal for a year, where he cavorted with a bunch of Fulbrighters who enjoyed a yearlong subsidized vacation abroad in return for writing obtuse academic papers reaffirming postmodern scholarship. He now works for the Acton Institute in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he is being vigorously deprogrammed by natural-law philosophers, theologians, and a Catholic priest. You can find him on Twitter @ActonPete.
Peter Johnson is an external relations officer for the Acton Institute. He has held various positions with the National Capital Area Council and Boy Scouts of America.
Great [Lutheran] satire, but a sad truth is embedded. The greatest cause of inequality, of social (even 'white privilege'), is differences in family structure (and yet though the it is the dominant factor it is the factor most ignored by so many on the left).
Some may define egalitarianism as "belief in the equality of all people, especially in political, social, or economic life," but a more precise definition for the contemporary parlance would be "belief that every person should have equal access to every opportunity in every circumstance imaginable." To provide such a society for our children, to build them a shining egalitarian city on a level playing field, one major progress-impeding super villain needs defeating.
Even more so than the misogynistic Christian church or the anti-gay GOP, the chief enemy of egalitarianism is nature. Historic Christianity only makes it hard for women to be pastors, but nature makes it hard for women to be soldiers, firefighters, lumberjacks, and anything else that requires masculine levels of upper body strength. Republicans may pass laws letting bakers deny service for gay weddings, but nature imposes laws denying two pairs of ovaries the power to procreate. But the greatest way that nature breeds inequality is by filling us with the desire to love the children that have resulted from our breeding.
Not all parents are equally adept at loving their children, as anyone who's ever observed a crowded McDonald's play place knows. And when those with superior nurturing skills unleash them on their offspring, the results are horrific, producing children with higher levels of happiness, education, and achievement than their contemporaries. One might argue that the solution to this problem is to encourage bad parents to work harder at loving their children, but such a heartless, radical notion can't be taken any more seriously than the suggestion that a woman who can't pass a physical fitness test should increase her bench-press regimen like other women have done instead of putting people at risk. Rather, the best way to achieve an egalitarian society is for those who can shoot the highest to quit showing off and start aiming lower.
Just as we should be willing to die of smoke inhalation to prevent a lady firefighter from feeling bad about not being able to carry us on her back, we should also be willing to abandon our children in order to make kids who have already been abandoned feel less socially ostracized.
Well, that's one way to achieve gender equality.
From the PresbyterianBlues blog. Very insightful, based on years of experience:
An advantage of being in the same church for a long time is that you have an opportunity to see things play out. You can observe parenting and then watch the "parented" children grow up. You can see folks go from young parents to empty nesters. You can see all sorts of people just passing through. In short, you're around long enough for time to tell its story. And if it told proverbs about Presbyterian church life, they might sound like this.

Welcome to this week's edition of "The Week in Tech," where we recap some of the most interesting technology and mobile stories from the past week.
This week we cover announcements from Google I/O, the public launch of Yahoo's Aviate, Supreme Court tech rulings, and Barnes and Noble's spinoff of Nook.
Highlights from Google I/O
Google held its annual Google I/O conference this week and made a ton of announcements that are sure to satisfy every fan boy and girl. The highlights include:
- Android L – Improvements were made to the near-ubiquitous mobile operating system, including lockscreen notifications and updated aesthetics.
- Android TV – Google TV was rebranded as Android TV and enhanced with a smoother scrolling experience and voice search.
- Android Wear – The smartwatch platform was demoed and its Google Cards interface was revealed. The LG Watch and Samsung Gear Live are now available, with Motorola's Moto 360 available soon.
- Google Fit – Google previewed the Google Fit platform, an open API that aggregates user's data from various fitness apps all in one place.
- Android Auto – The competitor to Apple's CarPlay was revealed, portraying how Google plans to cast the driver's smartphone interface to the car's screen to access maps, messages, and more.
Read about everything that was announced at Google I/O on The Next Web.
Yahoo! launches Aviate for Android
Yahoo! continues its push into mobile by launching its Aviate homescreen for Android to the general public.
Aviate is a smart homescreen designed to give you the quickest access to the apps that you use most. The free launcher automatically updates itself based on your needs throughout the day, delivers relevant information at the right time, and claims to learn your habits and preferences as you use it.
Aviate was acquired by Yahoo! in January for a cool $80 million and has been in beta testing for the last couple of months. The company is using Aviate to test the operating system waters without building its own – yet?
Supreme Court Rules on Tech – Aereo and Cellphone Searches
The Supreme Court had a busy week ruling on technology issues, handing down two really important decisions in just a matter of days.
First, the court beat down over-the-top broadcast TV streaming service Aereo, claiming that the company's product violates the Copyright Act and that they must pay broadcasters a transmission fee. The company is likely on its deathbed, which really sucks for consumers. Stupid broadcasters. Read more at The Verge.
The Supreme Court also ruled that police need a warrant for most cellphone searches. The justices stated that cellphones contain too much private information, and even if people hold that information in the palm of their hands, it should still be protected by law. Read more at the Washington Post.
Barnes and Noble to Spin Off Nook Business
When was the last time you stepped foot into a Barnes and Noble? No clue for me. Have you ever used or seen someone use a Nook? Me neither.
B&N just can't catch a break and has agreed to spin off its Nook business into a separate public company in an attempt to improve performance for both its brick-and-mortar and technology businesses. While the bookstore chain remains profitable, it has been buoying the Nook business, which has been hemorrhaging money and clearly losing the battle against Amazon's Kindle and Apple's iPad.
What do you think of these stories? Have you read other interesting mobile and technology stories this week that are worth mentioning? Feel free to add your thoughts to the comments.

Regular cleaning is essential to keeping your new rugs looking good. Periodic vacuuming is recommended for all area rugs. We advise against using a vacuum with a "beater bar" (rotating brush) as the brush can pull at and damage your rug. You want to vaccum your rug with suction, therefore using an attachment or raising the beater bar so that it doesn't come in contact with your rug is the best option.
For occasional stains and spills spot cleaning with a gentle cleanser and a cloth are your best bets. Blot the stain, don't scrub. Again, you don't want to use a brush as this can tear at the fibers of your area rug.
For more thorough cleaning we recommend that you send the rug out to be cleaned at a professional rug cleaners. They will clean both sides of your rug and allow it to dry flat. If you are having your rug cleaned in your home be sure your rug is being cleaned by the extraction method. You don't want your rug to be "shampooed" using a machine with rotating brushes.

The Son That Former NFL Player Rae Carruth Tried To Kill Turns 18, Still Suffering From Permanent Brain Damage
The former wide receiver, who plotted the murder of his ex, Cherica Adams, is scheduled to be released from prison soon.
Sean "Diddy" Combs is planning on commemorating his fallen friend, The Notorious B.I.G., in a way worthy of his namesake.
For the first time in years, Diddy, a Harlem native, will cross the bridge on March 9 – the 13th anniversary of Biggie's tragic death – to host a party in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, the place where B.I.G. grew up.
According to the New York Post, the party will take place in Bed-Stuy's The Lab nightclub.
Announcing that the dress code for the event will be "Biggie-inspired," Combs told MTV News, "We're trying to make March 9th a national hip-hop holiday. It already is on the low…. It's a big day. It's a day to celebrate his life. It's a day to celebrate the life of the man. We done did the movie, the records. It's something that, I guess as a label we're obsessed with: making sure people don't forget about this man in a positive way. March 9 is Biggie Day… Bump Biggie all day, feel good and positive."
On March 9th, 1997, The Notorious B.I.G. – née Christopher Wallace – was tragically gunned down in Los Angeles after leaving a Soul Train Awards after party.
The former wide receiver, who plotted the murder of his ex, Cherica Adams, is scheduled to be released from prison soon.
Each of the men could be served a life sentence in prison.

CHRIS OSGOOD'S MISTAKE was leaving his hotel room door open a crack. It was the summer of 2005, and the Red Wings All-Star was in Niagara Falls, Ontario, for the team's annual goalie camp. Expecting teammate Manny Legace, he was instead startled by a stranger who looked more like hotel staff than an NHL player.
The stranger was Jimmy Howard, the team's 2003 second-rounder from the University of Maine. The rookie simply wanted to introduce himself and apologized for the intrusion. Taken by the kid's lack of presumption, Osgood
Six years later, Howard has emerged as Detroit's best homegrown stopper since Osgood himself. Howard led the NHL in wins at the midway point while boasting a 1.98 goals-against average. But as his predecessors know, playing goalie for the Wings can be tough. Win and you're doing what's expected. Lose and the blame comes fast. Howard's own coach is guarded in his praise. "He's gotten better," Mike Babcock says. "Now he has to do it year after year after year, for about 15 years -- then you can say he's good."
Thing is, in his third full season as Detroit's starter, Howard is being relied on not just to protect leads but to win games.

On October 30, 2015, the FSB Regional Consultative Group for the Americas issued its second report regarding shadow banking activities in the Americas. Three potential areas of importance were considered: (i) non-bank credit intermediation (via finance companies, credit card companies, etc.); (ii) non-bank deposit-taking institutions; (iii) and the nature and size of shadow banking in International Financial Centers. Some notable results from report found that: (i) banks still control a majority of financial activities in the Americas but their share of financial assets has been declining from 2008; (ii) the largest sub-sector of other financial intermediaries is investment funds; and (iii) the offshore assets of IFCs in the Americas are significant at $4.6 trillion USD.
The report is available at: http://www.financialstabilityboard.org/wp-content/uploads/Working-Group-on-ShadowBanking-Second-Report.pdf.

I've been on a bit of a reading spree lately so I'm super excited to have some book posts the next couple of months. First of all, I was obviously late to the Snow Like Ashes party. I did not receive the invitation. Or the owl forgot to send me one. But it's okay because it's better to show up late than never. Amma right?
5 Reasons Why You Should
Read Snow Like Ashes by Sara Raasch
5. MEIRA! I loved the main character. She was so easy to connect to and I think I honestly fell in love on page 1. She has such a deep backstory, especially with the sense of belonging to a cause but not feeling like she belongs to the country the cause is for. It's all explained in the book, but I found it really quite captivating.
4. ROMANCE. YES IT'S GOOD! I love me a good romance sprinkled into my YA books. And this one is no different. I knew from the opening that I was in for a treat. I don't want to spoil anything, so I will just leave it at that ;)
3. SIR AND MEIRA. I honestly didn't know I loved father-daughter relationship until reading Julie Cross' Whatever Life Throws at You. But I do. I really do. And Sir and Meira have a complicated and endearing relationship. He's really her commander, very stern and strict. But it does fall in the paternal category at times.
2. THE STORY. I could not put this book down. I literally had to tear myself away from to write, but when I finished, I immediately returned to reading it. Becca and I were reading it at the same time and we would be gasping and wild eyed at the same moments. It seriously invokes some reaction. It's that good.
1. THE WORLD. Okay, if I didn't convince you to read Snow Like Ashes yet, then I need you to listen to this part. The world is PHENOMENAL. Honestly, read this book just to sink your teeth into the world Raasch has created because it deserves to be read. Eight different realms. Four Season Kingdoms (Winter, Autumn, Spring, Summer) and Four Rhythm Kingdoms. I'm not going to even try to explain anymore because I will botch that stuff up. And Sara Raasch does it perfectly. Read the book and enjoy the world building. It's pretty beautiful.

Windows Movie Maker fails to save edited file
I take a video that I made while playing an online game, using Bandicam and load it into Windows Movie Maker, add a title, and then try to save it. This is what my screen looks like after a half hour with a 5 minute video. I deleted WMM and re-installed it from Windows Live Essentials 2012. Same result. I have been to a dozen online tutorials on how to use the editing, but they are mostly young kids zipping through a series of clicks with little or no explanation or teaching. Help!

Hi and welcome to SevenForums,
From what I read on wiki seems this is trailware do you have a full version ?
Restrictions could apply to the trail if so I'm not familiar with the software personally have you asked on their site ?

Windows Movie Maker is not a trial. It came as part of Windows Essentials 2012. Downloaded from Microsoft. Also, I have the registered version of Bandicam.

I had Bandicam set on the wrong output format. All good now. There are several options to choose. MPEG-1, xVid, and H.264 (NVIDIA NVENC), and either .avi or MP4. Thanks for the help.

I have downloaded the new version of WLMM 2011. My Sony HD Handicam outputs MTS video files. Do I have to convert these files to (?what type of file?) before I can use them in WLMM 2011. I know they didn't work very well in the previous version.

The Russian-born brunette even hopes her spectral lover returns.
Speaking on UK's This Morning, she claimed the forced sex first happened when she was home alone and felt an invisible force push her down on her bed and force himself on top of her.
"I felt something entered the room. I couldn't see anybody. Suddenly I could feel that somebody touching me," she said
"Their hands were pushing me against my will and then I could feel the weight of their body on top of me but I couldn't see anybody.
"At first I was very confused then I decided to relax and it was really pleasurable, I really enjoyed it."
The ghost left – and returned for more a month later.
