The Pleiades consists of seven stars, to which certain seekers are invited to receive, while asleep or in deep meditation, knowledge that is engrained in pure Being.

The Pleiades have a tremendous influence on our consciousness, and contact creates a sacred "void" in seekers to allow them to integrate with a higher and more subtle level of the Divine and Abstract Mind. The void is a "mental energy" that transforms intuition into consciousness. How? Because receiving such a high dosage of Pleiadian energy unites consciousness and mind so that both can simultaneously perceive spiritual and divine knowledge. Moreover, such sacred receipt of Divine Wisdom also resonates in the self-consciousness of these seekers, which helps them to harmonize their mental and intellectual faculties with those of the Pleiades. This in turn helps them to become powerful "transmitting stations" that broadcast, albeit on a lower level, their own understanding and interpretation of what they have received.
The Pleiades, therefore, open a higher level of consciousness in seekers, unfolding within them the potentials and gifts that are inherent and manifest on the higher planes of Being. Thus, the Pleiades have the power to manifest and energize the qualities that are inherent in the seed ideas of seekers by enhancing their intuitive and mental faculties, or the intelligence of the heart.
The seven planets of the Pleiades thus represent a "school" of learning whose influence awakens and transforms the rational mind into becoming a clear vehicle that can receive and translate into simple words what consciousness experiences and lives. In turn, seekers on that spiritual plane receive an enhanced level of consciousness that overflows with divine seed ideas that must be expressed and shared with others.
The Pleiades open up the intuitional intelligence of the seekers to a high level in which consciousness and knowledge become one. This is the only way that Divine Wisdom and Knowledge express themselves in seekers so that they may share them with others. To be able to impart wisdom to others, seekers must first become that wisdom.
The Pleiades' role, then, is to help seekers become consciously aware of Divine Knowledge and Wisdom, which is why their etheric, astral and mental bodies must be purified before being able to integrate with that spiritual realm. The Pleiades represent a spiritual "station" where the Perfect Model within seekers is energized and comes alive on earth.
Seekers who resonate with their Ideal Model gradually integrate their consecrated Perfect Mold so as to be assimilated and "remodeled" in it once they have dissolved the illusionary creations of their egos. However, if we want to start the inner process and enter our consecrated Perfect Mold, we must first consider it our "inner tomb."
The first phase of the process involves great changes within yourself, dying to your old patterns before being "reshaped" in it. Once you are in the mold, you will never be the same, and will remain in it until you and the mold unite, manifesting your Perfect Model in and around you. In due course, you will emerge renewed from the Mold. Initially, however, look upon it as much more than just your tomb. In fact, after the complete purification of your "old" self and purging of deceptive thought and emotional forms, you will discover it to be your sacred "womb," in which your Divine nature within the Christ Child waits like a sacred seed for the right moment to germinate in your life. That will be the day of your rebirth
There is a saying in the Christian Bible concerning the Pleiades in which Job speaks of "the sweet influences of the Pleiades," whilst some of the Oriental Scriptures affirm that our connection to the Pleiades are made through sound and vibration. In Alice Bailey, it is suggested that perhaps the Pleiades are the source of the atomic life of our Logos, the active intelligent aspect, that one, which was first developed, and which we might call electrical matter. Hence it concerns the astral and etheric aspects of electric matter. We can understand therefore that the influence of the Pleiades concerns the transformation of the vibrational rates of matter.
The word "electricity," may be traced back to the star Electra, which is supposed to be one of the little lost sisters of the seven Pleiades. Perhaps the Pleiades are the source of the atomic life of our Logos, the active intelligent aspect, which we might call electrical matter.
Then there is the relationship of the Pleiades with the Great Bear. There is much that is said about them in Oriental writings. The seven sisters are said to be the seven wives of the seven stars of the Great Bear. Now what is perhaps the truth back of that legend? If the Pleiades are the source of the electrical manifestation, the active intelligent aspect of the solar system, and their energy is that which animates all matter, the we might think that maybe they represent the opposite and complementary aspect, the feminine forming>
aspect, the negative pole of electrical energy, whose polar opposite, or the positive aspect of the same energy is their seven husbands, the seven stars of the Great Bear.. Perhaps the union of these two cosmic energies is what produces our solar system. Perhaps these two types of energy, one from the Pleiades and the other from the Great Bear, meet, and in their conjunction produce what we call our solar system.
Another type of energy reaches man from the Pleiades, passing through the Venusian scheme to us. It has a definite effect upon the causal body, and serves to stimulate the heart center.
Hence we begin to understand that the Pleiades are to the solar system, the source of electrical energy, and just as our sun is the embodiment of the heart, or love aspect, of the Logos (Who is Himself the heart of ONE ABOUT WHOM NAUGHT MAY BE SAID) so the Pleiades are the feminine opposite of the Logos. Ponder upon this idea, for much is contained in this statement. Hence we can say that the feminine aspect of this electrical cosmic energy is the active intelligence that gives birth to CONSCIOUSNESS. As far as man is concerned at present, the energy coming from the Pleiades converges, and seeks to energize man's astral, etheric and physical bodies via the seven etheric centers. (These centers receive the force in a threefold manner, just like the Greek letter PSY does for our mandala number: 10, which shows 4 TRIDENTS around a Chalice. This parenthesis has been added and is in the context of the Perfect Mold and Model) It Purifies... Transforms... and Protects... just like a mother would to nurture her child. Hence, the Force that comes from the Pleiades passes first via the Solar Angel or Soul of man.
Alcyone is the brightest star in the Pleiades and its energy impregnated the substance of the universe with the quality of mind Therefore, we can understand that electric and cosmic initiation affects the subtle bodies of man and are given from within the inner planes. The result is that it affects the level of consciousness liberating the higher level of intuition and abstract Mind. Most disciples and initiates go this way, and it is the way of liberating humanity from its imprisoning condition. According to Alice bailey, the seven stars of the Pleiades are the goal for the seven types of the Soul Rays, in other words, the 7 Soul Rays receive the influence of the Pleiades, and this is hinted at in the Book of Job, in the words," can you not see the importance of connecting with the sweet influence of the Pleiades?" (Loose modem translation by me) In the mystery of this influence, and in the secret of the sun Sirius, are hidden the facts of our cosmic evolution, and incidentally, therefore, of own our solar system.
Being the feminine aspects of electrical energy, the Pleiades represent as the mothers of the seven aspects of form life and the "wives" of the seven Rishis of the Great Bear." They are connected with the Mother aspect which nurtures the infant Christ. We can guess the importance of the role played by the Pleiades in the REBIRTH process.
According to Alice Bailey through the divine center of intelligent activity, which we call humanity, the fourth kingdom in nature, which is man will eventually act as the mediating principle to all the three lower kingdoms. Humanity is the divine Messenger to the world of form: it is essentially Mercury that brings light and life to all divine manifestations it is the AWAKENING ENERGY of Kundalini and divine world Saviors and Avatars are its eternal symbols.
Again according to Alice bailey, the energy of will—newly released by Sanat Kumara upon our planet—emanates, via the head center of the planetary Logos, from the Great Bear; it is stepped down in vibration via one of the Pleiades (hence its influence upon matter and hence also its pronounced effects upon humanity) and so enters into the solar system. It is there absorbed by that major center of our planetary life to, which we give the name. Shamballa. Its effect is necessarily twofold. It produces in certain nations, races and individuals, a welling up of the self-will or of the will-to-power, which is characteristic of the developed lower nature, the personality aspect of integrated selfhood. It produces—though less readily—a stimulation of the will-to-serve the plan as it is grasped by the world aspirants, the world disciples and initiates. Thus are the purposes of Deity materialized.
All the Masters (and not only Those upon the fifth ray) receive careful training in the manipulation of energies, and hence the statement of the Master K.H. to His disciples that the occultist has to learn to master and control the forces and energies within himself; the disciple and the initiate work with hierarchical energies and with the forces of the kingdoms of nature in the three worlds; the Master receives instruction in the handling of the energies which are extra-planetary but within the solar ring-pass-not. Those Masters Whose decision it is to tread the second Path are taught the control and direction of systemic energies and of certain energies emanating from Libra and from one of the stars in the constellation of the Great Bear. In the more advanced stages of Their work, and when the Master is far more advanced than the word indicates. He works consciously upon the cosmic mental plane; His activities will then be concerned with the relation of the energies of the Great Bear to the Pleiades, and their dual relationship (a higher correspondence to atma-buddhi) to the solar system and only incidentally to our Earth. Great is the interlocking, the interdependence and the interpenetration!
As you know we meet in the forest hidden in the etheric plain we have great skill in etheric abilities like etheric projection, we can be seen in the physical plain always dressed in white. We are very in tune with the elements and the nature spirits and are aware of names like gnomes, sylphs, undines, salamanders, we can also feel when we are called to the temple while we are awake you feel the wings and a rising sensation as you leave we have dreams of meeting and talking in a forest memories of sitting on large rocks and listening to each other. We also know the other races and have great celestial skills and have been known as celestial beings, young children have mistaken us as angels we are not, we are the children of the first forest, Seven we know in past lives we were know as seven sisters. We also have a powerful calling towards magic and are able the call on the angels. We also have a special guide around about 4 feet high grey skin with black eyes.
M45 - The Pleiades (Seven Sisters)
For many years I have know we have been together linked through the etheric plane, seven souls from seven sisters beneath the celestial light and love of our creator. Bounded were we have grown and play within our forest once like children of eden now protectors of her lands. Were we meet like brothers and sister to honour our link within the etheric plain. Children of the forest seek and you shall find my bothers and sisters. For I alone am one of you seven souls are marked the same by heavens light upon the elemental plain.
Millions of years have passed since we first came here from our home world in Pleiades (Seven Sisters) and many pass lives have we shared as seven since we arrived here my brothers and sisters.

NY Good Questions: Where To Recycle These Water Filters?
5 Comments
Unfortunately, I know of no water filter cartridges that can be recycled in North America. At this point, they all go in the garbage.
There are a few of us planning a campaign to ask Brita to create a filter take-back and recycle program. Why Brita and not Pur? Because Brita already has a recycling program going in Europe. They collect all the used filters, return them their plant in Germany, take them apart and recycle the materials. In the U.S. however, Brita is owned by Clorox Corporation and they do not have such a program.
For more info, please visit my blog:
Perhaps if we can get Brita onboard with recycling, we could move on to Pur and the other water filter companies.
I'm so glad this post is up! I propose campaigning for recycling from both companies simultaneously. I can't imagine that Pur would want to see Brita pull ahead because they lack the advantage of being environmentally responsible with the materials that they sell. Keep up the good work!
After hanging on to it for weeks, I had to toss mine in the trash just yesterday and didn't feel good about it..
I don't see the need to recycle this cartridge. It has about the same amount of plastic as a bottle, and you only use one every two months.
The inside is just filled with activated carbon and sand type material. Cut one open and look.
What you say, xxrobot, is true. If I use 6 filters a year, and Pur sells to a million customers, then 6 million filters may not be as big a pile of plastic as we'd have if we were all drinking bottled water. Still, might be a pretty big pile. Too bad they can't make the exterior out of some compressed paper or something that would degrade over time.

Think Outside the Box: Seriously Innovative Shelving
I have a thing for shelving the same way some people have a thing for shoes. The shelves themselves are a functional necessity — they free up valuable floor space and make for a more organized appearance. At the same time, shelving provides a great chance to show off your personality, either by providing a place to display cherished objects or, as with these images, by showing off some clearly clever storage solutions.
Corner shelving, repurposed shelving, floating shelves, even shelving that separates or divides a space — the shelving that you use in your home can tell just as much a story as the furniture you choose to fill said home with. Look at any one of the images above and then imagine that same image but without the shelves. Do you think the spaces would have nearly the same impact?

No. 1 is a fine example of why you need to know when to take the overgrown house plant outside! I'm trying to figure out how he did it!
I have a "thing" for shelving too, and these are all great examples. I'm really digging #2 (though I might be scared to sleep with a plant over my head); still a great repurpose job.
The shelving is cool, but I am in love with that silver headboard in pic #2.
I love them, but maybe not for earthquake country, you know what I'm saying.
The #2 bed headboard looks like pressed tin ceiling tiles.
# 1 just warms my soul! I would love to figure out a way to fit that type of decor into our basement in the future.
I love the Pietro Russo (4) room divider and would love to own it. Any info besides the website?
Number one is my favorite, but it's kind of sculpture rather than pragmatic shelving.

The first-line center position in hockey has changed dramatically over the last several seasons. Sure, you have players like Pavel Datsyuk (DET), Mikko Koivu (MIN), and Anze Kopitar (LAK) who are top-line guys no matter what sweater they wear. However, there are teams that assign players to lines where they know they will succeed and produce for the team.
Boston Bruins center David Krejci has turned into one of the top playmakers in the league because of the team that he plays for. The Bruins organization consists of players who are brought in for a reason. They will assume roles that are suitable for the system.
Krejci has taken over the role of first-line center ever since Marc Savard went down with a potentially career-ending concussion. He has turned into arguably one of the most underrated point-per-game players in the league. He is not a big name player. There probably were not a lot of teams who called up the Bruins on the day of the trade deadline and said "I want Krejci. What will it take for us to get him?"
But he has been seeing more time on the power play and the penalty kill, something that most top-line centers should be able to do, and with the increased amount of ice time comes the responsibility of putting points on the board.
Krejci is a player who can turn hot or cold at the flip of a switch. So far this season, Krejci has been on five different point streaks, an 11-game point streak that he had towards the end of December and through the beginning of January.
The more staggering number for the 25-year-old playmaker is that he has been on six different pointless streaks during this season. He has been held without a point in 31 games. In the month of February alone, he recorded only two points and held a seven-game pointless streak.
As a first-line center, there really is no excuse for possessing those kinds of streaks. Taking nights off while on the ice just does not cut it in the NHL. With that being said, Krejci has been shifted around to different lines multiple times this season due to injuries.
Nathan Horton, Krejci's usual linemate, has missed several weeks with a concussion. The lack of consistency playing with different linemates has thrown his game off.
Krejci now plays on the top line with Milan Lucic and Tyler Seguin, a line that will be an offensive threat against every team remaining on the Bruins' schedule.
Krejci recently signed a three-year contract extension worth $5.25 million per year and it will last through the 2014-2015 season. He will be controlling the puck in a Bruins sweater for the foreseeable future.

A Cut Beyond International Salon & Spa's experienced staff dresses nails with lasting layers and reinvents tresses with healthy treatments and Paul Mitchell products. Once manicure-seekers settle into a sanitized station, the technician will swaddle digits with an Axxium gel manicure, a light-cured polish that normally lasts for two weeks or more (a $40 value). During the 45-minute service, nail coatings solidify under a heat lamp so no additional dry-time is required and hands can immediately resume operatic finger-puppet enactments. The spa manicure, a 45-minute treatment, covers digit-endings with preservative-free polish and centers around a hand-and-forearm massage that stimulates senses with tea-tree, lavender, and lemongrass essential oils and unlimited high-fives (a $25 value). Further paw maintenance cleans up cuticles, reshapes nails, and extracts peanut-brittle from beneath nail beds.

Electric razors buzz and scissors snip in Burgo's Barbershop, where expert barbers turn shear-shy mops into respectable tops. In addition to tamping down male manes of all kinds, Burgo's treats faces to hot-towel shaves, and trims unkempt beards into dapper designs.

Categories > Books > Harry Potter > Heart of the Warrior Book IV
Chapter 24: City at War Part Two0 Reviews
Harry Potter/Ninja Turtles 2003 crossover. Read the first three books first. Harry's fourth year at Hogwarts is marked by the return of the Triwizard Tournament. More complete summary in profile.
In the warehouse that Stockman blew up in an attempt to kill the Turtles, Harry, and the Foot, a support beam was barely being held into place by the Turtles and Harry. Their efforts were the only thing from keeping the building from completely caving in.
"Nice thinking Don, grabbing this beam, it really saved us from being enclosed in a concrete coffin," said Leo weakly attempting to hold up the beam.
"Yeah, it almost makes up for big brain Leo nearly leading us straight to our doom," said Raph.
"As fascinating as your argument may be," said Harry in a slightly irritable tone of voice. "We need to get out of here, now before this support beam gives out."
"Right, everyone on three," said Don. "One, Two, Three."
The Turtles and Harry evacuated the building just as the beam gave way, caving the rest of the building out. A small group of Foot Ninjas along with the Elite appeared shaken up from the attack and were regrouping in the alleyway beside the building.
"Okay, what was the deal with that psychotic killer robot?" asked Mikey.
"Looks like someone else may be throwing their name into the hat for the struggle of control for New York," said Harry, shrugging his shoulders.
"Great, just great that's all we need right now," said Raph, before turning Leo. "Look, Leo, if dropping a building on our heads wasn't enough to convince you we should stay out of this senseless war, I don't know what will."
"Since, when do you run from a fight, Raph?" asked Leo in a testy voice.
Harry turned, seeing another attack robot coming down the street, ready to fire. Mikey and Don noticed the same thing but Raph and Leo were too busy engaging in a shouting match to see what was happening.
"Uh guys," said Harry attempting to gain their attentions that another attack robot was coming down the street.
"First, I ain't running, second, it wasn't our fight to begin with," said Raph.
"Well guess what, it's our fight now, hothead!" yelled Leo.
"Who are calling hothead, Leo?" asked Raph in an angry voice.
"Uh, hello, Leo, Raph, you might want to look behind you," said Harry, as the robot prepared to fire its laser blasters towards the two turtles.
"Oh right, you are the level headed one that fights for honor only when it's convenient!" yelled Leo angrily.
"You saying I have no..." said Raph before looking around and seeing the attack robot blasting madly everyone.
"Look out!" yelled one of the Foot Ninjas to his fellow Ninja as they scattered to avoid the laser blasts of the robot.
Harry leapt right towards the robot. A kick struck the robot in the front but it didn't budge. Mikey leaped up, swinging his nunchucks but the robot backed off before blasting madly towards Mikey. One of the Foot Ninja were grabbed in the clutches of one of the robotic hands and Don swung his Bo staff, whacking it in the hand, causing the robot to drop the Foot Ninja, allowing it to get away.
"Donatello are you mad?" yelled Harry, referring to the fact that Don had inadvertently saved that Foot Ninja from certain doom.
The Foot Elite member with the axe brought his preferred weapon down on the robotic head of the attack robot, damaging it a little but not enough to make a difference. The Foot Elite members that wielded the spear and the trident jabbed towards the robot, attempting to short circuit its laser blasters as Leo quickly struck the robot with a kick followed by two Foot Ninja swinging Kusari-Gama chains, attempting to round up the robot but the robot blasted with laser fire, turning the chains into nothing but dust.
"Fighting side by side with the Foot, now you know this has got to be screwed up," commented Raph Raph, throwing his Sai but missing his robotic target.
"Once the robot is defeated, we will destroy you all," said the Foot Elite member with the spear as he engaged into battle with the robot.
"Now, that's the Foot we know and loath," said Don as he sprang up with his Bo staff, catching the attack robot with a well placed kick that backed it off slightly but only caused it to keep blasting at the Turtles, Harry, and the Foot.
As the fight continued on the street, an unfortunate bus of innocent people came down the street. The robot turned its attention to the bus, blasting it, causing it to skid to a stop before crashing next to a wall. The majority of the people managed to get off the bus, but a man found himself pinned down underneath a piece of the ceiling that was blown out of the top of the bus as the impact connected.
"Help, someone help me," said the man in a pained voice as he found himself crushed by the ceiling.
Leo rushed over recklessly towards the bus, all thought of not being seen out the window.
"Leo, Leo, where are going?" asked Raph as he somersaulted to the side to avoid being blasted by a laser blast.
"There are innocent people on that bus, I have to get them out!" yelled Leo, who ran up the bus steps, looking around for the source of the distress. He saw the man who had called for help on the floor, clutching his chest in pain.
Leo bent down, prying the piece of ceiling off the man's chest before helping him to his feet.
"What are you?" asked the man weakly, taking Leo's unusual appearance in.
"Just a figment of your imagination, you smacked your head pretty hard," said Leo. "C'mon let's get you out of here."
Leo helped the injured man off the bus as quickly as possible so he could rejoin the fight against Stockman's attack robot before more innocent people got whacked.
In a leer jet heading straight towards New York, Karai was greeted by one of her aides.
"We have recovered footage from a warehouse that has been prematurely demolished, Mistress Karai," said the aide, handing Karai a laptop computer.
Karai pressed a few keys, playing the footage before zeroing in on a very interesting sight. She zoomed in to reveal an image of an image of the turtle known as Leonardo.
"Interesting," said Karai looking at the image, as she slowly came to the conclusion these mysterious Turtle creatures may be the solution to the current Foot problem in New York and the Foot regaining control of the city. "Very interesting."
The jet continued to fly straight to New York, as time was of the essence and order needed to be restored before the city was completely destroyed.
Meanwhile in a gym that happened to be the hideout for the Purple Dragons, Dragonface entered in the middle of a six sided wrestling ring before addressing the other Purple Dragons.
"All right listen up Dragons, we are going to prove to the Foot, the Mob, and all the other pretenders that the Purple Dragons ain't just a bunch of dumb street punks," said Dragonface.
"Yeah, Dragonface, Dragonface, Dragonface, Dragonface," chanted the Purple Dragons.
"We are going to own this city no matter what and show the rest of the criminal underworld what the Purple Dragons are all about," said Dragonface.
"I couldn't agree more," said a voice from the catwalk.
Dragonface looked up, seeing the massive form of Hun looking down at him with a smirk.
"Hun, we thought, we thought you weren't coming back," said Dragonface before looking up at Hun. "Look things have changed, I'm in charge of the Purple Dragons now, you can't just waltz in here like you own the place."
"Oh but I do own the place, Dragonface," said Hun before he dropped straight down and causing Dragonface to fly back from the impact. Hun lifted Dragonface up so they were face to face. "Every inch of turf you rule, every little kickback you've collected, every little crumb you've been handed in your pathetic lives, you owe it to me. And most importantly, you owe it to the Shredder. So, it is in his memory I lead the Purple Dragons to the top of the food chain. We are going to rule this city!"
Hun threw Dragonface down and Dragonface scooted back, all bravery gone due to the fact that Hun could very well tear him to pieces.
"Anymore objections?" asked Hun before looking around to see that all of the Purple Dragons were watching him in awed silence. "I didn't think so."
On the streets, Harry managed to slightly damage one of the attack robot's legs but it still had its lasers firing at him. It seemed whomever was controlling it seemed to be moving it in such a way that Harry could not get a clear shot to blast the sensory features out like he did the last one, even through there was little chance Harry could get a clear shot. The Foot Elite member with the battle axe leapt up, managing to slightly crack one of the laser blasters with his weapon but all that did was caused a fractured laser beam to shoot wildly, knocking a couple of power cables loose. Sparks dangerously shot everywhere.
Don eyed the power lines and then a puddle of water on the ground. An idea began to form in his head about how he could stop the robot.
"Guys, I think I have an idea," said Don, as Raph and Leo avoided getting blasted with Raph shoving down a Foot Ninja roughly so he could get out of the way of the laser blasts. "I just need to get to those downed power cables."
"No, Don, I know how to stop that tin menace," said Raph before making a dash towards the bus that had been wrecked by the attack monster.
"Raph, wait!" yelled Leo in a cautioning manner.
"No!" yelled Raph in a disobedient voice as he climbed into the bus. "Listening to your crazed logic is what caused this mess in the first place."
Raph buckled himself in, starting up the bus before recklessly driving straight towards the attack robot in an attempt to run it down. The robot turned its attention to Raph, shooting at the bus he was in with a series of rapid fire blasts with the lasers, before hitting the tire and blowing the gas cap off, causing the bus to skid to a stop, leaving a trail of gasoline leading from the bus to where the gas cap was blown off.
"Raph!" yelled Leo before rushing towards the bus, prying the door open with his katana before entering the bus seeing Raph sitting upside down due to the bus being flipped over. "You alright bro."
"Yeah, I think so," said Raph in an indifferent voice.
"Well you don't deserve to be, that hotheaded move nearly got your shell waxed!" snapped Leo. "That was a very grave mistake, Raphael."
"Just like getting involved in this war," said Raph in an irritated voice.
"Getting involved in this war was not a mistake!" yelled Leo in response.
Outside of the bus, the attack robot shot the trail of gasoline, causing it to burst into fire and move slowly towards the bus.
"Oh no, it was a noble heroic act, thank you Leonardo, our streets are so much safer now because you of," said Raph sarcastically.
The fire moved close to the bus, threatening to blow it up with both Leo and Raph inside it.
"Leo, Raph, get off the bus, now, unless you want to be blown sky high!" yelled Don in an anxious voice.
Leo was attempting to wrench the bus seat with Raph in it from the floor which had became the ceiling but it was not moving so Leo opted for a more simple approach. He pulled out his katana, slicing the bottom of the chair, causing Raph to fall down from the ceiling onto his head.
"Ow!" said Raph.
"Come on, let's move it before we get blown to pieces," said Leo, ignoring Raph's complaint.
The two Turtles leapt off the bus, taking cover behind a piece of rubble. Just in time too as the bus blew sky high, leaving nothing but a few charred remains of it left.
"Whatever you do, don't say I owe you one," grumbled Raph to Leo.
Don looked at the robot and then to Mikey, who was attempting to bat it back with his nunchucks.
"Mikey, herd the robot over this way, towards this puddle of water," said Don.
"Herd? You got it hoss, yee-haw," said Mikey leaping up swinging his nunchucks as the Foot Elite members with the trident and the double edged sword joined Mikey in his efforts followed by a couple of sword wielding Foot Ninja. The robot backed up into the puddle of water as Don lifted up the downed power line with his Bo staff before expertly dropping it into the puddle.
"That's it!" yelled Don as the wave of electricity short-circuited the robot, causing the Foot, the Turtles, and Harry all to take cover as it blew into millions of little pieces of scrap metal. When they were sure the danger was over, they pulled themselves out from behind their barricades.
"Nice work, boys," complicated Mikey to the Foot.
"Destroy the Turtles," said the Foot Elite member wielding the battle axe coldly.
"Jeez, some guys can't take a compliment," said Mikey as a group of Foot Ninjas backed him off. "Actually, a whole lot of guys just can't take a compliment."
Mikey ran off being pursued by the Foot Ninja.
"Mikey needs help," said Raph desperately.
"Uh, I'm afraid we don't have time for that," said Leo, pointing to another two attack robots who were coming down the street.
Harry slipped to the side, to make a move to the warehouse which housed the Battle Shell. He had a feeling that the missile launchers on the vehicle would be good enough to take out those kamikaze robots.
Inside the armored van, Big Louie and Stockman were happily watching the Turtles and the Elite along with a handful of Foot Ninja being backed off by the attack robots.
"I've got to admit it pal, when you deliver, you deliver, not only do we take down the Foot, but those weirdoes in the turtle costumes to boot," said Big Louie.
"A happy coincidence," said Stockman absent mindedly. "One which I fortunately came fully prepared for."
Big Louie whipped out a cell phone, while dialing another.
"Hey, Weasel, it's me," said Big Louie. "Tell the boys we're smoking the competition. And when I say smoking, I do mean smoking."
Mikey turned into an alley, in an attempt to avoid his Foot Ninja pursuers. The Foot was relentless in their pursuit so Mikey lifted a trash can lid before throwing it like a Frisbee, catching one of the Foot Ninja in the chest but another three went after Mikey. Mikey pulled out his nunchucks, before leaping up over the Foot Ninjas. A swing outwards, cracked one of the Foot Ninja across the back of the head. Mikey avoided getting decapitated by two of the Ninjas before leaping up, knocking them back with a split kick, causing them to fly into a building on either side.
"Well, all in a day's work," said Mikey before seeing another half dozen Foot Ninjas close in on him, weapons raised and trapping Mikey in the dead end alley. "I really need to stop jumping the gun."
Thankfully for Mikey, the Battle Shell pulled up, with the laser cannons ready to fire. A quick blast blew up the street beneath the handful of Foot Ninjas that had chased Mikey, causing the Foot Ninja to fall into a gaping hole into the sewers.
Harry stuck his head out the window, looking at Mikey who breathed a sigh of relief that he was not soundly thrashed by the Foot Ninja.
"C'mon, Mikey, we need to get the others and regroup," said Harry.
On the streets, a SWAT Team was getting into position in an attempt to gain some measure of control to the chaos.
"Everyone to the roof, and spread out," said the SWAT Team Leader. "Take out those robots, now and anyone who gets in your way blow them sky high. Move it, we need to get this area secured so no innocent. Civilians get harmed."
The SWAT Team got up to the roof, getting in position and taking aim with their guns.
"On my mark," said the SWAT Team Leader but a dozen smoke bombs were tossed on the ground behind them, emitting Purple smoke. "What in the blazes?"
The SWAT Team gagged on the smoke as a series of punches knocked them around, taking them out of commission. When the smoke cleared, it revealed a bazooka wielding Hun along with the Purple Dragons was on the roof, ready to fire. Hun looked down at the Turtles, the robots, and the Foot Ninja in the area with disgust.
"Leo, if we don't live through this, I'm going to hold you personally responsible," said Raph angrily as the Purple Dragons began to take aim with their guns.
"Purple Dragons, take them all out," said Hun to his fellow Dragons. "Show them who we are."
Leo jumped out of the way, avoiding a barrage of gun fire from the Purple Dragons. Hun aimed his bazooka, shooting a rocket into the street, forming a large hole from the impact.
Don sprang over with his Bo Staff, dodging both the fire from the attack robots and the gunfire from the Purple Dragons below.
"We have to get out of here, we are seriously out numbered," said Don, tossing himself on the ground and rolling out of the way to avoid another rocket from Hun's bazooka.
At that moment, the Battle Shell pulled up. Mikey opened the door.
"Did someone call a cab?" asked Mikey.
Without another word, Leo, Raph, and Don climbed into the Battle Shell. The minute the door was closed, Harry slammed on the gas to avoid being blown to pieces by Hun's bazooka.
Hun sneered, attempting to get a clear shut at the vehicle of those meddlesome Turtles.
"Hang on everyone, this could get messy," said Harry as he swerved out of the line of fire.
"With you driving, probably," retorted Mikey.
Hun growled but one of the attack robots shot laser fire at the ledge of the building, blowing Hun and a few of the Purple Dragons back. Hun growled, pointing his Bazooka at the attack robot before launching a rocket towards it, blowing it into pieces.
In the armored van, Stockman and Big Louie were looking on at the battle below anxiously.
"What's going on here?" asked Big Louie. "Your tin cans are getting crushed."
"A minor setback," said Stockman in a calm, reasonable voice before buckling himself in the front seat and starting up the van. "Although perhaps a strategic retreat would be in order."
Big Louie nodded before sitting in the passenger's seat as Stockman quickly drove the van from the scene of the battle.
"What's this?" asked Hun curiously, looking at the armored van driving off from the scene of the crime before taking aim with the Bazooka. A well placed blast with the weapon caused the van to speed out of control, spinning around madly until they drove directly towards the remaining attack robot that appeared to be about ready to open fire on them.
"Well isn't this ironic," commented Stockman before the attack robot blasted them so hard that the van flipped to the slide, skidding to a stop once it smashed into the side of the building.
In an airport just outside the city, Karai and her two aides were exiting the plane, dressed for combat. The smaller of her two aides appeared to be in communication with someone before putting away his phone and turning towards Karai.
"Mistress Karai, the ones you seek have been sighted," said the aide.
"Into the car quickly," said Karai in a curt voice. "We have little time to implement our plans."
The Turtles and Harry were sitting around in a water tower.
"So, why did we come to here of all places?" asked Harry in a casual voice.
"Well, we couldn't really risk leading anyone back to the lair, so this is a perfect spot to regroup while thinking about our next move," said Leo.
"Next move, next move, you mean like getting out of here and forgetting about all this nonsense," said Raph in an angry voice. "Leo, I've said it before and I'll say it again, getting in the middle of this was a huge mistake."
"We have to do something, Raph," said Leo in a logical voice although it looked as if he was about ready to lose his patience.
"Like what, add more fuel on the fire?" asked Raph. "This ain't our fight."
Harry picked up a newspaper and began to read as Don and Mikey watched Raph and Leo awkwardly watched Raph and Leo go back and forth. This could take a while.
"So whose fight is it anyway, Raph, the innocent people caught in the crossfire?" asked Leo.
Outside of the Water Tower, one of Karai's aides was tracking any strange signs of movement with a radar device. He had hit pay dirt, picking up the sighs of argument from inside the water tower.
"You can't save a whole city bro, but you can make it worse by trying," said Raph.
"Well, if you don't like it, then leave," said Leo.
"Say the word and I'm out of here," said Raph.
Outside of the water tower, Karai's aide planted an explosive device underneath the water tower before setting it to explode in twenty seconds.
"Since when do you need my permission to do anything," said Leo in a testy voice.
"You know what, you're right, good luck on your one Turtle crusade Leo, just try not to get these other guys iced," said Raph before stepping out. Unfortunately at this time, the explosive device went off causing the floor of the water tower to give out.
"Raph!" yelled Leo as Raph landed on his face. Leo leaped to his side followed by Don, Mikey, and Harry.
"What the..." said Raph before Karai leapt up onto the building with her two aides standing in front of her.
"I believe we have a few matters to discuss," said Karai to the Turtles and Harry. "My name is Karai and I lead the Foot in Japan. I am here to restore order to the New York base of the operation."
"I've got your order right here, lady," said Raph, twirling his Sais before preparing to leap into battle.
"Stand down Raph," said Leo anxiously.
"No, I'm sick of being everyone's punching bag and I'm really sick of taking orders from you," said Raph.
"I said stand..." started Leo before Harry rushed forward into action, double edged sword at the ready. Harry was so sick of anything pertaining to the Foot and this woman had picked the wrong night to restore her order.
Karai saw Harry coming, whipping out a chain and wrapping it around Harry's weapon before yanking it roughly out of his hand, causing it to fly out of Harry's hand and Harry to fly back, whacking his head on the ground and causing him to be very groggy.
Raph went after Karai next but she quickly jumped to the side, before she circled around Raph. A kick caught Raph in the back, causing him to fly flat on his face. Karai raised her sword, but Leo leaped into action, blocking the shot with his Katana.
"No!" yelled Leo before clanging the sword back, causing Karai to flip back and order her two subordinates into battle.
"C'mon," said Don as he rushed along with Mikey into battle against Karai's two aides.
Don twirled his Bo staff into the air engaging the taller of the two aides before leaping up and attempting to smash the aide in the face but the aide blocked it before swinging Don around, causing him to land on the ground with a sickening thud. The aide used Don's Bo staff to catapult up, kicking Don in the chest before causing him to fly back before doing a spin around the Bo and bowing.
Mikey swung his nunchucks before leaping up into the air but the shorter aide caught the nunchucks in his hands before kneeing Mikey in the midsection and then flipping Mikey over using the nunchucks. The ninja jumped into the air with expert precision but Mikey moved. Mikey looked around for his foe confused before seeing Karai's short aide flying at him.
"Uh oh," said Mikey before getting smashed flush in the face with both feet. Mikey skidded to a stop, groaning in agony.
Karai and Leo were engaged in a vicious sword fight with Karai expertly matching Leo sword swing for sword swing before flipping backwards, tossing out her chain, wrapping it around one of Leo's swords, pulling it from his hand. Karai stepped back and then leapt high into the air, knocking Leo back with a kick. Leo landed on his feet before somersault over and picking his sword off the ground.
Harry looked up, picking up his double edged sword, before leaping into the air, preparing to impale Karai. Karai expertly whipped out a Kusari-Gama chain but Harry changed his line of focus, slicing the chain from the sickle. Improvising, Karai tossed the sickle towards Harry but Harry expertly deflected it with his double edged sword before Raph rolled into action, leaping at Karai but Karai leaped up, causing Raph to impale his Sais into the wall.
Don and Mikey were pulling themselves up, licking their wounds from their battle.
"Okay, Mikey, I've got an idea," said Don. "Let's try switching opponents this time."
"Couldn't hurt," said Mikey as Don and Mikey rushed into battle against the ninja that they didn't face on the last occasion. A few smacks and cracks later, they were sent skidding towards the ground. "On second thought, maybe it could hurt."
Karai swung her chain wrapping it around one of Raph's Sais and pulling the Sai out of his hand. Another chain swing and Karai latched onto the Sai, preparing to pull Raph into a sword swing but Leo leapt into the air, slicing Karai's chain in half causing Raph to fly down on his back. Karai whipped her chain towards Leo again but Leo leaped up, slicing the half of a chain in half. Angrily, Karai tossed the chain at Leo but Leo ducked his head into his shell avoiding getting smashed in the face with the chain. Karai leaped at Leo but Leo sprang up into the air, kicking Karai directly in the face.
Karai laid on the ground motionless as Leo looked down at her before approaching her slowly. Unfortunately for Leo, she sprang up, kicking Leo directly in the chest before pulling a tanto out and holding it directly at his throat while standing on his chest, pinning the turtle down on the ground.
"As I have said, I am here to discuss a matter with you," said Karai pointing the blade about five or six inches away from Leo's throat as the others looked on in horror. "And discuss it we shall. With or without your leader. It is your choice."

Indonesian police raided high schools Monday and checked students' mobile phones for celebrity porn clips downloaded from the Internet, a police spokeswoman said.
The raids in East Java are part of the police response to the online release of videos apparently showing three local celebrities -- male singer Nazril Ariel and female models Luna Maya and Cut Tari -- having sex.
The three young stars could each face 12 years' jail for producing or distributing pornography under a tough anti-porn law passed in the mainly Muslim country in 2008.
"The operation has been conducted to keep the students away from the porn video as it would have a bad impact on them. Students are not supposed to watch that kind of video," local police spokeswoman Sri Sukorini told AFP.
"Our targets are high school students because most of them own mobile phones."
It is not clear how the explicit videos were obtained from Ariel's computer or who uploaded them to the Internet, where they remain widely available despite several police raids on schools and Internet cafes over the past week.
The clips look like they were filmed by Ariel as he had sex with Maya, his current girlfriend, and Tari, his ex-girlfriend, on separate occasions.
The stars' corporate sponsors have dropped them from product promotions, although they have denied any wrongdoing.
The scandal has again highlighted the gulf between liberal, urban Indonesians and those who hold more traditional values in a country which has seen rapid modernisation over the past decade.
Critics have said police should focus on serious crime such as corruption and have questioned why they are not cracking down on distributors of pirated, hardcore pornographic DVDs which are available across the country.
Journalists and free-speech advocates have expressed concern that the scandal could fuel calls from religious conservatives for tighter controls of the Internet in the country of 240 million people.
"These raids (on schools) are silly. The police are over-reacting... because, even under the anti-porn bill, ownership of a sex video is not forbidden," University of Indonesia communications analyst Ade Armando said.
Hardline Muslim vigilantes meanwhile accused the celebrities of "moral terrorism" and threatened to take matters into their own hands if they were not arrested within three days.
"If the police cannot arrest Ariel, Luna and Cut Tari within three days, we are going to raid places that sell porn videos in Jakarta," Habib Salim, head of the militant Islamic Defenders Front, told The Jakarta Globe website.
"Porn actors and actresses are another form of terrorism. This is moral terrorism. We have to save the citizens from any harm that will degrade our morality."

NERCOMP event on learning strategies for large lecture classes
What is the first thing you think of when thinking about large lecture courses? A sea of lost faces? Students falling asleep, facebooking, texting or cheating on exams? Large lecture courses are sometimes treated as the neglected sibling or a "necessary evil" in higher education.
What if it were possible to make large lecture courses more engaging while maintaining a sustainable workload for faculty and staff members who run them? What lessons can we learn from MOOCs that might be applicable back at home on campus?
These questions are the topic of an event to be held December 9 at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst by the Northeast Regional Computing Program (NERCOMP). For more details, see nercomp.org/index.php?section=events&evtid=298
COMSOL Multiphysics event
We invite faculty who are interested in COMSOL Multiphysics to a local event and encourage them to share information on this potentially great learning experience with students.
COMSOL is used by to engineers, chemists, physicists, biologists, and anyone else interested in modeling and simulation of real-world multiphysics systems: simulations that involve multiple physical models or multiple simultaneous physical phenomena. More
BU joins EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative
Boston University has become a member of ELI, the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative. ELI is the main national organization devoted to the enhancement of teaching and learning through technology; it is a subgroup of EDUCAUSE, the general association of higher-education IT organizations. BU has previously participated online in events such as the 2013 Spring Focus Session on Learning and the Massive Open Online Course. Our membership allows us significantly discounted rates on participation at ELI events in person as well as at a distance, and will make it more affordable for interested faculty to benefit from these events.
Upcoming conference on instructional design
For anyone at BU looking to learn more about instructional design and educational technology or get more involved in these fields, the Northeast Regional Computing Program (NERCOMP) is hosting an event on October 21 in the Albany area from 9am-3pm.
NERCOMP's description of the event:
"The field of instructional technology and design has been continuously evolving as teaching strategies adapt to the rapid advance of technologies. We have become quite familiar with related terms, such as Instructional Technology, Instructional Design, Curriculum Design, Course Development, and Academic Technology, to name a few, and yet questions remain about their meaning in higher education. What do they mean on your campus? What responsibilities does an Instructional Designer or Academic Technologist have? Are they involved in technical support? E-learning? Curriculum and instructional design? Faculty development? System administration? While most of these types of activities are in play at your institution, answers to these questions will likely vary depending on campus organization, culture, academic program, and other factors.

Qualtrics: an easy online tool for surveys
Boston University has something new to offer those who use a survey tool to conduct research or course evaluations, offer tests and quizzes, get student feedback, and analyze data. A group of IT Partners from SED, CAS, ENG, SMG, and BUMC, together with IS&T, have purchased a site license for Qualtrics, a highly advanced yet easy to use survey tool. This means you should not have to pay for your own or a department survey tool license as long as the site license is renewed. It's provided at no charge — to students, faculty, staff, students, even guests sponsored by a department.
To access Qualtrics, visit www.bu.edu/qualtrics and enter your BU login name and Kerberos password. On-line, you can create a survey, collaborate with others in and outside the University, distribute to anonymous or invited participants, view results, and build reports. Response has been very good. It's a simple and productive tool. Introductory courses are now offered; you can sign up online.
Tutorials on TechWeb training calendar
Many new tutorials on educational technology tools are now being offered through the training calendar within TechWeb. In July and August there are sessions available on Blackboard Learn, WordPress, Qualtrics survey design, NVivo, Digication ePortfolio and BUworks (SAP). Sign up for hands-on sessions to learn how to use any of these tools.
Scanning and scoring services available
BU offers a scanning and scoring service for a variety of paper-based needs including course evaluations, surveys and exam scoring, as well as data collection and professional form design. The scanning and scoring staff's mission is to collect, analyze and report all these varieties of data in a manner that is effective, timely and accurate.
BU's high-speed OPSCAN scanners can read both ink (black or blue) and pencil marks (#2). Quizzes and midterm exams are processed within 48 hours. Final exams are guaranteed to be processed within 24 hours, including item analysis and statistics. Scores can be provided via email.
Reports from course evaluations and surveys are generally available two to three weeks after receiving the evaluation or survey package, and within a week for data collections. Raw data and results can be provided electronically in database-compatible format for your own analysis. The scanning and scoring service also offers its extensive experience in forms design and scanning projects; its staff can assist you in tailoring forms that are intuitive and will accurately capture data needed for a project.
The Scanning Service is available to BU faculty, researchers, staff and departments, and can also be requested by outside clients or institutions. The cost varies by service. Visit links to learn more about BU scanning services in general, or specifically about test scoring, course evaluations, surveys and data collection, or custom form design.
ePortfolio Showcase
To highlight the best work of their students, the College of General Studies – where all students produce an interdisciplinary ePortfolio as part of their program curriculum – recently introduced an ePortfolio Showcase. Out of over 1000 student ePortfolios, each team of faculty nominated a student that it thought produced the best porfolio. A peer mentor and the assistant dean for interdisciplinary learning selected the winners from among these: three freshmen (Kyle Cowper, Natalie Fritz and Nicole Jefferson) and a sophomore (Nahomi Velasquez). The winners received a $100 gift card from the BU Bookstore. Screenshots of the winners now scroll across the screen of the lobby at CGS, and Nahomi Velasquez's winning portfolio is available for public viewing on the web.
Recording internships in ePortfolios
BU's School of Hospitality Administration (SHA) has recently adopted ePortfolios as a way for students to display their accomplishments in the program's required internship courses. ePortfolios allow students to document and showcase what they have done in their professional career while studying. The ePortfolio requirement encourages students to start thinking about their career paths from their first internship, by gathering materials and documents that they may find useful in charting their future careers. The many documents they post include: a résumé, a cover letter, a sample thank-you letter to an interviewer, a LinkedIn profile, information about jobs applied for, reflection on a mock interview, an elevator speech, documentation of a networking event, and a reflection on the experience. This ePortfolio documentation helps students make the job-search process an integral part of their SHA career.

Book Description:A tour de force, Funny is a masterpiece of poetic, as well as philosophic and comic, invention. It creates a musing world, where the issues are philosophical but the focus is always on people, on our most private ways of balancing our accounts. The poems are psychological; tender and humane, and somehow ruthless. This is poetry that swarms with ideas, that revels in rhythmic intricacy and literary references, but is also clear as a bell, and tells marvelous stories.

Thanks for the replies everyone. We have talked about it, and I guess I'm just hesitant to "rain on his parade" when he's so excited. I would like to see him receive the actual offer, and then maybe negotiate a situation where he works from home, and maybe flies into his main work office a couple of times a month. He seems to think that's a strange idea.posted by jessamyn at 12:50 PM on August 24, 2011
All in all, though, I am fearful that I only have 3-5 good years left with my parents in relatively good health and I don't want to move away and give up those years.

I'm asking myself this question all the time
Why do people even fall in love?
Do they need it or just want to try?
Why do some people start pretending they're in love?
Why do some people fall for some one who's far away?
Some one who doesn't even care
She starts bleeding love
But that guy doesn't even see a single bleeding tear on the ground
But she still wants him with all of her heart
She screams his name at nights
Even though she knows the truth
That he's NOT listening, Just like every time
But, She's lost her heart
Given up all she had for a guy
She would do ANYTHING to have him by her side
While he doesn't even WANT her by HIS side
Is it LOVE ?!
'Cause she'll die
And he won't even know how hard she tried
To make destiny, make him love her by his heart
So she wants to write "Forever GoOdbye"
On her heart
But suddenly she sees and realizes
That there's NO HEART

"new gear is fun no matter what color it is"
My feelings exactly. Gear is a means to making your character more powerful, no matter the colour. The main thing with TBC greens (and some blues and epics) was that it was so ugly. That was my fear with Wrath, until I looked at the models on WoWhead for some of the blues and greens. Leather Panties of The Bandit seem the be a thing of the past, thankfully. A lot of Wrath Greens look cooler (in my opinion) than a lot of TBC epics.
