Lost-The Girl In another one's mind
P.Asana here! Im writing a short story based on the book Unwind by Neal Shusterman, it's a great story and it inspired me to write my own little unwind Character(s). This short story is about a girl, whose parents decided to unwind her because she has separation anxiety, fail to do her work, a distraction and refuses violently, she can see and hear what other people can't, so her parents decide to put her in a hospital, which broke free and ran, ran, ran....
Lost-The Girl In another one's mind
It was raining, raining hard, all i can remember is me running for my life. My parents don't understand what i'm going through, they think i'm crazy, just because i can hear and see the girl. All she want's is to understand life, to be free, but she's trapped in my mind. It started when the doctor discovered i had a brain tumor. -flash back-"I believe the only way to save her is to give her another unwinds brain piece, we are going to separate the tissue......"I heard voices very faint, but i could here the conversation, my eyes fluttered open slightly then things went dark again. Later after the sugary, things weren't the same, i heard voices, sometimes i would find information, a past memories that i've never experienced. As if i'm looking through someone else's eyes. Things got worse during the years. I started being ignorant, disrespectful to my parents, refusing and not doing what i'm told and stealing. I've never once done those horrible things in my life until now, and I never could figure it out. Through my pre-teen years it got severe,I started to see a girl around maybe 15, she would have one blue eye, and one green, long bright auburn strawberry red hair, she was breath taking.I became friends with her,i would show her my dolls, and play dress up. But she would disappear when my parents came in, they thought i had mental illness so they took me to an institute in philadelphia. On my 17th birthday my parents signed the Unwind papers. My heart sank, i couldn't do it.I loved my parents dearly, but i don't want to be unwound for something I can't explain. So i escaped the hospital and ran, ran, ran. -end flashback-
I was running as fast as my feet could carry. Looking back over my shoulder with the police and their dogs after me, I wasn't ready to die, the girl, she didn't understand why she was unwound. She didn't even know that she was, and thought that she was alive, not living in someone else's mind, i'd get numerous head aches, like she would be digging deep into my mind, and try and look for answers i couldn't answer. I can't. I lost them an hour of running they decided to give up, i stopped myself before a cliff, i looked down at the dark abyss. Tears started to fall, my heart was broke in millions of pieces. I thought, the girl took over,
I didn't know where i was, this woman, i've been with her since she had the brain tumor. But i didn't quite understand. I would try to remember a certain memory, but when i try i can't find it and start to panic. What was that memory, i dug in as deep as i could....then it hit me, i was in a green field, near the beach, i turned and saw a small cottage. I felt my lips crook into a smile, i looked at my feet, and was wearing i red golden strapless dress. The one my uncle gave me. I was walking to a cliff, and looked down....but then the memory disappeared.
My head was pounding, i was on my knees, shaking and distressed. i started to cry at the memory, maybe this girl wasn't unwound, i lifted my head and saw a cottage, my eyes widened, i looked across the field, it was the beach, was this the girls home? I looked back behind me and saw the police, doctors and......my parents? I shook my head. "Come Naomi, come home with mommy and daddy."I glared at her, "Don't talk to me like i'm a child!"My mother backed away. I stood up, my life is a living hell, i'm done fighting, i could run, find a place no one would find me. But i don't want to hide, my time is over, i found what the girl was after. All she wanted was to remember that one last detail, before she jumped. But why did she?She was happy?. I looked at the black abyss again, tears well up again. They fell from my cheeks, not bothering to wipe them away, she was my new family and i jumped just for her,i heard everyone screaming my name but i didn't care all i wanted was to be at peace.....
The Girl That heard the Moons voice
Hey! P.Asana here, I wrote another Lyric story^^Within Temptation Where Is the Edge, if you want get the song and listen to it while reading but you don't have to ^^Hope you like it^^Please comment what you think!BYE!
Disclaimer: I don't own anybody in Naruto except my character Akabrra Enjoy!!
I walked in the middle of the midnight sky, the moonshining brightly and happily. 'I wish i was the moon, it shines so beautifully in the night sky. And smiles at the people who walk under it' I thought to myself. It was getting intense in Konoha, in a dramatic way, all the girls that follow Izumo around, they're his fangirls. And they believe that they can have him all to them selves, and no other girls should deserve him but them. I felt the blood inside me boil. I closed my eyes as i walked. -Flashback- He hates you! you're a freak, stay away from Izumo he's ours and besides, he doesn't like cursed girls, and rather want's you to die in as hole that you came out of! Leave Konoha you're stench is reeking this place!-End Flashback- I sighed at the night sky, like it was hearing the fight in my head, the mist surrounded me, my breath was shown in it. The mist hugged my small ankles, the soft cold breeze caught me, the wind catching my long curly hair, my icy blue eyes looked up at the moon. 'Why am i such a freak? what's so wrong with me? Do i not deserve not even love? Is that what being cursed does?'I said aloud, as if talking to the moon hoping for an answer by it.That god evil woman, she's a witch! The wind blew at me again, it tickled my nose. I giggled. 'One day' Is what i heard, my eyes shot open looking to see if anyone was near by. Left, right, no one? Did the moon lit sky answer my question? I thought about the ironic question. I shook my head in disagreement. No". Then a sound of a twig snapping brought me to my senses.I felt a presence i wasn't aware of, i turned around slowly, -Music starts-
Looking at the distinct mist behind me, what was that? i thought.
I walked again, but the sound came back. I turned around to hear a low evil laugh, it wasn't a pleasant being, then he came from the shadows, my eyes shot open. It was horrid, he was tall, very tall, he had bandages on his arms and legs, scars of his face. His eyes were a blood red color, one of his arms turned into a long sword, i wasn't going to fight back, i was in too much pain to do so. I let him take it on me, ran at me and stabbed his arm into my stomach, blood coming out of my mouth as he did so, his force was so strong that he slammed me into a nearby tree. I coughed, 'what's a pretty girl like you playing in the devils playground?it's past curfew in konoha you sure you wanna be out here? I glared at him, my blue eyes going demonic, -Chuckle-Well you ain't gonna be comin' back there soon, so lets end you're life!" He lashed at me. Cutting my chest deeply, i cried out, my life wasn't going any where, i was for sure not going to tell izumo how i feel, and i would probably never get the chance. I closed my eyes when he lifted his arm up again, waiting for it to come down and finish me off, tears started to fall, 'I love you izumo'I whispered in the night sky, hoping that the moon my new found friend would give him the message for me, because i wasn't going to live much longer. I waited, not wanting to see the blood spew out of me, "I love you too!" My heart froze, and this sticky syrup like substance started to surround me and the demon, the demon struggled to get free, but i was free from it, and pulled from the demon quickly, i was seeing lights, hearing voices around me, the sounds of screams?.
I woke up in a cold sweat, panting, breathing as hard as my lungs could bare. I looked around but my vision was fuzzy and couldn't see well. My head was pounding, the light i could make out was blinding, was i dead? what happened to me?. My chest heavy, i was in so much pain. My vision came to focus, i reached my arm at the blinding light and grabbed onto something, but it was a warm safe presence, i felt hair in my smooth hands, my tears began to fall from my eyes, and held onto the that presence. I felt strong warm arms around my waist, "Hey, shh, i'm here now everything s ok now Akabrra."A soft voice spoke, the voice filled my ears like a song. I looked up, it was Izumo, the one i loved. He was with me? Am i dead?I smiled. "I saw you getting attacked by something outside the village, when kotetsu told me you left the village i ran after you. You were getting hurt so i helped you, why did you leave?" He said slowly with a stern smile. I shook my head, he nodded as if he understood. He looked at my crystal blue eyes.,he stroked my cheek with one hand as he used the other one to pull back my hair, "I heard a voice tell me that you loved me, is that true?"He asked me, i looked shocked, but i nodded. He smiled at me and kissed my soft pink lips. We broke apart and held me tightly, "I love you too Akabrra, and ignore penelope."I nodded again, The night came fast, as that my bed was right next to the window, the moon shining brightly next to it, i smiled at my new found friend, her smiling back. As i was the girl that heard the moons voice.
A/N: Well that kinda sucked, i had technical difficulties, so i wasn't able to type the lyrics in. But if you want download the song and listen to it, well comment and tell me how it was. I bet it sucked^^Thanks!.
Forgiveness Is Everything
A/N: I don't own anyone from Naruto, except my character Victoria. Enjoy^^
It was mid-day, i wasn't aware of what today would give me, i walked through the forest slowly, cautiously. I couldn't sleep at all, knowing that the love of my life went on the most dangerous mission possible, i preferred him to stay as his usual gate guard of Konoha, It just made me now he was safe. But he insisted but i refused so we got in a huge argument. He left not after he broke my heart those hurt-felt words, uncaring, unloving words filled my head as i stood aimlessly watched him leave my apartment slamming the door behind him, leaving me to cry myself to sleep.
-Flash back-
"I can't believe you! This mission is what i'v always wanted, and you're being controlling! You're up my A** so much i can't freaken' breathe!!!!", Izumo yelled at the top of his lungs, i coward in the corner of my bed sobbing, crying my little heart out till i felt like passing out. "I Just don't want you to go!I'm not as controlling as you say i am, but this mission Izumo, no i can't allow it ! I don't want you to go, please--" "NO! i'm going, me and kotetsu will be back in two days tops, god i'm tired of sitting in a freaken' hut all day signing people in and out of this place, i want to go you damn woman!!" I managed to get the strength in my neck to look up to him from my pillow, with my dark emerald begging eyes, pleading, hoping that he won't go. His eyes glared into mine, i felt his anger rise and rise till i couldn't look at him anymore. I looked away frightened to make him anymore angry than he already is. "I don't know victoria, you can beg as much as you want but i'm going, im sorry but---" He paused, "It's over."
-End Flash back-
Those words echoed through my head, we were together for 3 years and he breaks up with me because i had a disagreement? I loved him with all my heart i can't stay mad at him, i need to find him, i need to tell him. I couldn't sleep, the fact that Izumo and kotetsu going out to fight an akatsuki member, it hurt i couldn't live with myself if he got hurt. I know he can be strong and manage on his own but, something feels wrong, something in my gut says "OK." But my heart tells me different, Lady Tsunade told me, If something feels wrong enough What should you listen to?You're gut, or you're heart? I closed my eyes, i was in deep thought i didn't realize i was about to walk off a cliff, before i could react my feet missed and i began to fall. "AAAHHHHHHH"I screeched, my arms flying in the air desperately trying to grab onto the cliff part-----I managed to grab a thick branch hanging on the side, "AH! SOMEONE! ANYONE HELP!!!"I desperately hung on for dear life, i had wings, but i couldn't release them, i have to have a decent run before doing it. My mined raced with possibilities but nothing avail. The branch started to crack, my eyes widened with shock, the branch started to break fully and i started to fall-----I felt a strong grip on my wrist, and i felt like i was being hoisted up. I was in warm comforting arms, in pertection, i opened my eyes and saw my lover, Izumo peering down into my eyes, my eyes started to well up with tears and i started to cry. He held me close, stroking my long purple hair, "Shhhh i'm here now victoria, no need to cry." I nodded in response, i looked up at him and gulped. He put his index and thumb finger under my chin and pulled me into a warm passionate kiss. We broke apart, "What i said to you before i left i'm sorry." All i did was smile, he knew i was just protecting him, "I love you izumo-don't let anyone tell you different."I hugged him not letting him go."Me too babe." I laughed, he helped me to my feet and brushed off my dress, i giggled. Ok lets go, kotetsu found an akatsuki" I nodded again, we entwined our fingers together. We got out into an opening a huge round arena like circle. We found other ninjas from our village interrogating the akatsuki Kotetsu and Izumo found. We stood a little far away, "Hey!" A familiar voice called out to us, i knew the voice, we turned to see kotetsu. "Tell us what the akatsuki is trying to do and you wont face a slow suffering death." One of the ninjas said, the man lifted his head, i looked at him, he had long blonde hair, his face dirt and blood covered, he scared me so i hid behind Izumo. The ninjas began to get impatient, The akatsuki spit at the ninja, he looked at one of the ANBU"s and he nodded, the ninja's came around the man, got their weapons out and began to torture him from hell. Izumo took my head and buried it in the crock of his neck to keep me from seeing horrid things. Metal clashing against skin and the sounds of screaming filled the quiet night sky, i twitched at each sound. When the ninjas were done they took him to Konoha. I looked up in Izumo's eyes, "Will you please forgive me?"He asked, i smiled and nodded. We heard a loud noise so we left the site and went to where the noise was coming from. We went on this big ledge and looked down, it was team Asuma fighting two Akatsuki's. I knew this was bad so i jumped out into the opening and blocked the guys attacks. Thats when the real fight began. The tall man smirked, "So, whose this quimm?" He said evilly. Izumo jumped in front of me and guarded me. "Whose that?" Izumo didn't say a word, "He's Hidan, and the other is Kakuzu."Asuma answered, i was shocked, Hidan!?No way!. We got in fighting stance and 15mins later we engaged in a fight between them. I took on hidan, our weapons clashed, I was running out of chakra, he came at me i picked up a kunai and blocked his attack. "I know about you! i know everything about you, i know about you're sisters death, the fire in you're hometown, i know you started it! you're a freak like me. You killed you're family!!!" I refused to listen to him, "SHUT UP!!!!!!"I stabbed him, blood started to flow out onto my hand, He smiled and started to laugh like an ego-maniac, my skin shivered at the near creepy noise he made. He took his scythe and gabbed it into my stomach, Izumo turned to see what had happened, to see his lover covered in blood, "NO!NOT HER!!!" He ran at hidan with all his strength and released his Starch syrup capture field. Kotetsu used his chakra and ran into the field to pull me out and jumped onto a nearby boulder and set me down. My eyes were heavy and i felt sleep over come me, "Whe--where's---"I stammered, "What!what is it victoria??" I saw kotetsu's eyes well with tears, "Where's my Izumo?"I finally said weakly, He shook his head and yelled for Izumo, Asuma and his team took over. "Victoria are you ok?"He said worriedly, he held me in his arms and set me on his lap closely. I looked up at him crying, "I love you."I said with a small smile, Izumo began to cry. "I love you too my love."He sobbed in my shoulder, "You can't die, not for me, don't leave, i wanna stay with you. I want you by my side, till the day i die."He looked up to look into my dark purple orbs, he stroke my hair, then the side of my cheek, memorizing every part of my face. "you're so beautiful."He said, even though i was on the verge of death, i happened to stretch a smile and blush, I looked to my left and watched as Asuma fought the evil man, i was worried for asuma, he was my adoptive father. He took me in, when the fire started in my hometown, he saw that i was suffering and he took me to Konoha. And Adopted me with full confidence, I love my father. And i'd do anything for him to be safe for his wife's sake. But i was the one to fail her. "Izumo, kotetsu help asuma and his team--" NO!!!I"M NOT LEAVING YOU HERE!!!!"Izumo yelled, kotetsu put his hand on his shoulder in comfort. But izumo didn't give up, he shook his head. "You go help him kotetsu, i'm not leaving her!" Kotetsu only nodded in a sad response, He left. The minutes went by but felt like seconds of my life fading away slowly.My eyes slowly started to close, and my body began to go limp, Izumo saw this and shook me lightly awake. "Hey, hang in there babe, kakashi's team is on their way."He said crying. Team Kakashi came and Sakura healed me as fast as she could, stopping the bleeding, she wrapped a bandage around my stomach. I lifted myself up and laid myself against izumo's chest, he hugged me with a pertection hold. "He's never going to leave you." Kakashi said with a smile, i nodded. But the sky started to go gray, i looked up and it was about to rain. Izumo helped me up and we ran to Asuma and his team, there stood raidou, shikamaru, Ino and choji were kneeling down, 'what happened while i was gone?' i thought to myself. I ran even though my body was still weak. I saw, the most horrifying thing. The dream that i feared would come to reality, Asuma was dying, he was covered in blood, my heart was frozen, i reached out for him and held him close, i closed my eyes wishing this was a bad dream. I had failed her, i had failed pertecting the man that saved me from loneliness and death, I failed his wife, i failed pertecting him. I started to cry my body was shaking--He can't die i made her a promise. I promised everyone, my world went darker than black i was alone. No one here to support my heart that's fallen from my chest. My Izumo, what if i fail to perfect him!?i would never live to see the next day, I held Asuma close. Then light was shown, i looked to my left and right, Raidou, Izumo, Kotetsu, Asuma's team put their hands on my back and shoulder. They're smiling faces looking down at me. Raidou pointed at the sky--the grey raining sky had a cleared opening, i saw the most amazing thing asuma in the sky smiling down at us caressingly. Then i saw my friends, my mother and sister. Surrounded my the shining heavens, they locked hands together. They were happy where they were, they were in peace now, they were moving on. And with that they disappeared into the white light. In heaven. I smiled, looked down to asuma's blank face, no soul, I held his hand and kissed it. I knew that this was the end, i bent down to asuma's ear and said--"I promise i'll pertect you're family, even if i have to die for them, I love you father and you will forever be in my life."I kissed his closed eye then his cheek. Raidou bent down and picked up asuma, we walked silently back to konoha, izumo entwined our fingers together, he put his index and thumb on my chin and pulled my face up to his, he kissed me long and passionately. I loved him with all my passion, we broke apart. I wrapped my arms around his neck. We looked into each others eyes, he bent down on one knee and pulled out a crimson red box, i looked at him questioning. "Victoria Lee Gillespie, i love you with all my heart and will spend the rest of my life with you till i die, Will you marry me and bare my child?"He opened the box and came a beautiful round ring, with two hearts next to each other, i smiled "YES YES YES!!!!!"I jumped on him, he put the ring on me. I smiled at it in awe.
-2 years later-
Izumo and i married and had a son, we named him After my great grandfather and asuma Maverick Asuma Kamizuki.
And had a daughter and named her after my sister Allessa Joan Kamizuki. They are strong and healthy, Maverick has Izumo's looks, and Allessa looks just like you mixed with you sister. big eyes beautiful face and long wavy brown/black hair. They both grew up an became excellent shinobi. Eventually, Allessa was The hokage's right hand advisor, and Naruto was Maverick's inspiration. From time to time i would look up into the beautiful blue lit sky, wondering if asuma sees how much his child has grown, and if one day, he could be with us all.
THE END! Hope you liked it, it was longer than i thought sooo yeah!!!!OH! and i don't own Anyone from silent hill, Thank you!!
Jasdero's Imaginary Friend's *Finished*
Chapter 2 – All the colors you want
Night time wasn't easy on David, as he laid under the covers with Penelope, his mind endlessly on the same topic. 'What am I going to do with him?' David thought. 'Maybe Penelope is right, maybe he belongs in a home or something'.
Down the hallway Jasdero's mind was much like his brothers, racing with thoughts, not the same thoughts, but thoughts. Jasdero was staring out of the window as he had already forgotten about David's concerns from earlier, in the
middle of night he's attention was focused on watching the snow fall. Much like himself his 'friends' were awake too. "I wonder if David will let me play outside tomorrow, I hope the snow is sticky enough to make a snowman!
Hehe…" he added. Yawning loudly and causing a great sense of fatigue to overcome his body. "I don't care if you guys stay awake, but why do you gotta make me an insomniac?" Jasdero cursed the voices.
Hours passed by and Jasdero didn't fall asleep, he attempt to, but stopped by a so called 'friend' of his. Always a simple phrase would be uttered into his ear to wake his brain, and stimulate every lobe. Among the confusion and mild
hysteria caused by a lack of slumber, Jasdero had started to daydream about years before his grim diagnosis.
I was seventeen, I remember sitting in my math class still learning sixth grade algebra, my mind nowhere focused on the numbers marked on the white-board, more on the pearl paper lined with several blue horizontal lines, and a
bold red one going down the paper vertically. About nine other people the class, not including the poor teacher that had to put up with us. I never said much, it kept me out of any social groups, as sad as it sounds, thinking back; it
was probably the best for me.
Jasdero didn't like it when his psyche reminded him of high school years, something time refused to eat. Not the memories of awkward adolescent times, but the face of relatives and small frivolously things, and happy days that faded
into oblivion. Of course time couldn't be blamed for all the dementia like symptoms, a person's memory can fade, much like their sadness or happiness, it brings about new feelings, but Jasdero would never accept that. Before the
disease Jasdero blamed not paying attention to detail, which would always fail him when it came to school related assignments. The truth with school that is, was that he was slow, very slow. At the age of sixteen his reading level had
matched one of a seventh grader, he had failed to learn simple algebraic expressions in the ninth grade, and took twice as long to learn given material than the other students in his class. That was with school, and when diagnosed with
schizophrenia he soon which his excuse from a lack knowledge, to it being the disease fault, till the destruction of his brain was too far gone for him to blame anything on his forgetfulness. His hand enclosed on the pillow case as he
attempted to fall asleep again.
Ten thirty in the morning, Penelope and David were down stairs very much awake, as for Jasdero, he was still resting from the night before. Penelope sat at the dining room table, waiting for David to finish cooking her early lunch.
"So is that brother of yours awake?" She asked her question laced with slight irritation. "He kept waking me up all last night; it's not good for the baby for me to be waking up all though the night." She added.
"He can't help it," David defended his brother.
"Then what can he help? Look sleeping isn't that hard, all a person was to do is relax and fall asleep, I mean I knew he was retarded but…" Her voice stopped as David scolded her with his facial expressions.
"Don't call him that, you know that hurts his feelings, and it's not very nice." David reminded his lover. Penelope turned away from him, being the spoiled brat that she was, she didn't like to take such a social punishment from David.
"God I need a smoke…" She uttered starting to tap her lengthy and expensive press ons against the wood table.
"You know it's not good for the baby, and it's not good for you either." David again preached. Penelope grinned
"I didn't know you were my Dad." She replied. David grinned with her.
"No, I just work for him." David answered. The way he responded to Penelope had turned her cheeks rosy and peach; the way he uttered those words had sounded so seductive to her.
"David." She spoke.
"Yes dear, your food is almost done." His voice loud and compliant,
"Can you come over here?" She asked. Without any clue of what she was up to, David did what she asked of him. "Can you sit down?" Again he did what he was asked of.
"Something wrong?" David inquired just before a long bewitching kiss was placed upon his lips. Now his own cherry tinted face was high on varies chemicals flowing throughout the veins buried deep within his brain. His hand
formed around Penelope's as they shared another kiss before he went back to cooking her lunch.
In his room Jasdero was playing with the voices in his head, knowing well that he wasn't leaving his room at all today. I-spy was the main game they played, one because of how quiet Jasdero could before he wouldn't not bother
Penelope, two because of how forgetful Jasdero was the game could never become old, and three because it was simple.
"I-spy something, purple!" The voices would try to guess what he was seeing "Nope! Try again!" Another guess "Nope, your wrong, but you were really close!" His giggling could be heard from the hallway. As he continued to play,
David stood outside his door overhearing his brother's voice. "I hope David takes me outside today, I know it probably won't happen…" Jasdero took a deep breath. "I haven't seen him all day today, I wonder what Penelope has him doing for her now?" An injection of anger was added to his voice at the last sentence he spoke. Now knowing that Jasdero was truly lonely David felt the strings on his heart being pulled.
"Hey Jasdero…" David called for his brother's attention as he entered his room. "It stopped snowing, do you want to maybe go outside and make a snowman?" David proposal bought delight to Jasdero expressed with a smile, and him
digging out his winter jacket from the pile of clothes in his closet.
The light weight spots of crystallized water floated downward as Jasdero finished make his snowman. Picket white fencing didn't allow anyone to actually see the childish sculpture Jasdero created, but nonetheless Jasdero was still
proud of it.
"Can we color it?" Jasdero questioned with such a innocent and oblivious manner. David who was finishing up the smaller details, such as the rock buttons and eyes let a light sigh of angst escape from his mind.
"Hold on." He uttered as he rammed a deep orangey carrot into the center of the snowman's face. Turning towards his brother almost buzzing with excitement brother, "Do you think I could leave you here well I go get the food
coloring from the house?" David explained, Jasdero head bobbing up and down. Waiting for his brother seemed to be a hard task to complete; Penelope normally didn't like Jasdero being outside of the house.
David we can't just have him running around the streets here! What would the neighbor think!
Penelope would shout.
Jasdero could never understand what the problem was in the winter why he couldn't be outside in the backyard that was gated with a privacy fence as tall as him. He knew that Penelope was embarrassed by him in more ways than one,
but never would a neighbor he thought would see him, well at least he thought. A rubber ball hitting the back of Jasdero head had caught the blond off guard. With the pastel baby blue poka-dot pink under his arm, Jasdero was able to
climb the fence so that he could look over to see who threw the ball.
"Excuse me mister, can I have my ball back?" The cutesy voice of a young girl caught Jasdero of guard; make him lose his grab on the fence. Re-climbing the fence his grip better than before, "I'm sorry that my ball fell into your
yard!" the girl continued to apologize. Without warning Jasdero feel from the fence back into his own yard. Then surprising the little girl with the ball being thrown back into her yard, Jasdero soon re-climbed the fence. The girls smile
enlarged his heart, she had been the first person in a long time for him to make a social contact, without David or Penelope doubting over him. "Thank you mister! Are you
that guy Miss Penelope is marrying?" An innocent question that made Jasdero blush from how wrong it sounded to him. With a quick gesture of his head moving back and forth from side to side, Jasdero and the little girl began to giggle. "Do you live in that house?" the little girl asked. Jasdero
shook his head up and down. "You have really long hair, I wish my hair has that long!" The urchin put her hands into her hood and held her short brown hair.
"Thank you." Was something Jasdero managed to utter.
"Are you shy?" the girl continued to question. Jasdero didn't comment back. "It's okay I won't make fun of you!"
"A little..." He voice anxious, but had managed to make the little girl smile. "People can't understand me when I talk."
Jasdero pointed to his head, "This" then pointed to his mouth "And this, don't like each other." An expression Jasdero was used to seeing when he spoke, confusion.
"Why's that?"
"My mind doesn't like to follow what my mouth and brain wants to say." He tried to express to the little girl.
"Weird, do you want to play ball?" She again questioned him. He shook his head from side to side. "Why?" the girl cried.
"My flesh won't let me." The little girl stared back at him strangely. His pupil's looking upward like he was constraining.
"My mind doesn't like to follow what my mouth and brain wants to say, it thinks its special, but it should know by now the other minds can't understand it half the time." The rambling scared the child and Jasdero knew it, his face
expressed all of the feelings his words couldn't articulate. The sound of the door from the back entrance escaped Jasdero's ears, but David's yelling sure didn't.

VIERA, Florida (AP) — Jim Bowden resigned Sunday after four seasons as the Washington Nationals general manager, leaving under the cloud of a federal investigation into the skimming of signing bonuses given to Latin American prospects.
He has maintained his innocence in the matter, but said Sunday, "I've become a distraction."
No replacement was immediately announced.
Bowden is the only GM the Nationals have had since the franchise moved from Montreal to Washington before the 2005 season, overseeing a team that went 81-81 in that debut season but has been below .500 ever since.
Last season, the Nationals were a majors-worst 59-102.
His tenure with the club was marked by such moves as the trade for Alfonso Soriano, the failure to re-sign Soriano, free-agent busts such as Paul Lo Duca and reclamation projects such as Dmitri Young.
Bowden also drew unwanted off-field attention, including in 2006, when he was charged with driving under the influence after failing a field sobriety test while in Miami.
"Like anyone else, I have made mistakes in all areas of my personal and professional life, but I leave here with the true belief that I have done nothing intentionally to harm the Washington Nationals or Major League Baseball," Bowden said in a statement released by the team Sunday.
He met last year with FBI investigators looking into allegations of skimming of signing bonuses and it was reported last weekend by SI.com that Bowden's actions are being looked at as far back as 1994, when he was GM of the Cincinnati Reds.
"I am disappointed by the media reports regarding investigations into any of my professional activities," Bowden said in his statement. "There have been no charges made, and there has been no indication that parties have found any wrongdoing on my part."
Bowden's resignation came two days after Jose Rijo, a special assistant to Bowden, was fired by the Nationals.
That was fallout from a Major League Baseball investigation that determined a top baseball prospect from the Dominican Republic who received a $1.4 million signing bonus from the Nationals lied about his age and name.
"We all believe it is imperative that we honor the integrity of the game and that fans be able to concentrate their attention and affections on the game and players on the field," Nationals president Stan Kasten said. "Jim has maintained his innocence, but recognized that he had become a distraction, and with great grace determined to do what was best for the team and his players."

"Washington, D.C.'s Matta Gawa's self-described "cinematic chunks of post-hardcore improvised sound" is, however else you might describe it, standing apart from the main body of whack jazz. Sounds created from more than forty guitar pedals generating loops, sample, octave altering, various synthesized noise effects created and layered all at once and rounded out by some mad drumming create a dark, dense sonic explosion that confronts your ears. Yes, that's what I'm talking about: good, wholesome fresh strange and freaky sounds. All of this unhinged stuff can be found on Matta Gawa's maiden release, bA, out last week courtesy of Engine Studios.
Matta Gawa makes big noise, but it's coming from only a couple of guys: Edward Ricart on guitar and Sam Lohman on drums.
Perhaps never before has such a primitive sound been produced by so much technology and so few people. The seven songs were composed and recorded on the spot. There's a very thin line between spontaneously creating art and just noodling around. For this record, I'm gonna go with the former, because underneath that pile of guitar-generated noise there's some actual jazz being performed. No, it's not what Stanley Crouch calls jazz, but Ornette Coleman, John Coltrane and Peter Brötzmann most likely would. As if to emphasize the spiritual aspect of jazz championed by many of the avant garde greats, the album's name is derived from an ancient Egyptian word for spirit, and to bring that point home further, every song uses the word "bA" in the title ("Your bA Will Not Abandon Your Corpse," "Is A bA Among You," "Your bA Is Within You," etc.).
Ricart does more than just spin off effects from his vast array of pedals; he actually plays his guitar, too. Pulling together styles as diverse as Hendrix, Sonny Sharrock and even Muddy Waters, the composite style makes Ricart very much his own man. Lohman's "caveman" drumming often reminds me of Engine Studios stablemate Warren Smith, probably because Lohman absorbs whatever Ricart tosses at him without overreacting to it.
The murky, analog-y blare gets going from the opening notes of "Your bA Will Not Abandon Your Corpse." Ricart sets down a spidery pattern from a pedal-produced synth-bass and wails psychedelically on top of that. In the middle of the track, he comes up with an ascending chord vamp out of thin air, loops it, and contorts it all to hell for the remainder of the song, as he continues to pull out feedback more effects from his large arsenal. All the while, soloing with an unmechanical passion on his guitar as Lohman provides a modulated rumble.
That gives you a pretty good idea of how the remaining six tracks go, but there's odd little twists or tricks here and there that are unique to the song: "Izezi And his bA" has a more clearly defined chord progression that Ricart improvises very proficiently over; "Dialogue Of A Man With His bA," is highlighted by a unmistakably jazzy guitar solo; and you can hear Delta blues note bending on "Dialogue Of A Man With His bA." It's the kind of unpredictability that usually comes from totally improvised sessions.
I thought of finishing by stating something clever like "this is the best album Sonny Sharrock never made," but in truth, Sharrock never would have made this record, anyway. Maybe that's because Matta Gawa goes even further out beyond the frontier to create something that can only be described as a Matta Gawa record. And I'm hoping there's more such records in the near future."-Pico, SomethingElseReviews

The failure of the Bush team to produce any weapons of mass destruction (W.M.D.'s) in Iraq is becoming a big, big story. But is it the real story we should be concerned with? No. It was the wrong issue before the war, and it's the wrong issue now.
Why? Because there were actually four reasons for this war: the real reason, the right reason, the moral reason and the stated reason.
The ''real reason'' for this war, which was never stated, was that after 9/11 America needed to hit someone in the Arab-Muslim world. Afghanistan wasn't enough. Because a terrorism bubble had built up over there -- a bubble that posed a real threat to the open societies of the West and needed to be punctured. This terrorism bubble said that plowing airplanes into the World Trade Center was O.K., having Muslim preachers say it was O.K. was O.K., having state-run newspapers call people who did such things ''martyrs'' was O.K. and allowing Muslim charities to raise money for such ''martyrs'' was O.K. Not only was all this seen as O.K., there was a feeling among radical Muslims that suicide bombing would level the balance of power between the Arab world and the West, because we had gone soft and their activists were ready to die.

I imagine some will migrate to the neutral auction houses or to the different faction auction houses for those that have more than one account, but I imagine that the prices will be high.

Rubio seeks bigger military pay raise for 2014
Senate debate on the $625.6 billion defense budget for 2014 could include a discussion about whether there is enough money for a slightly bigger military raise.
- Nov. 19, 2013
You will be redirected to the page you want to view in seconds.
Senate debate on the $625.6 billion defense budget for 2014 could include a discussion about whether there is enough money for a slightly bigger military raise.
Defense officials will soon cut funding for a program that helps connect service members and their families with available rental housing at their new duty stations.
Another year, another small raise for millions of people who rely on Social Security, veterans' benefits and federal pensions.
Only a last-minute decision by Congress will give service members anything more than a 1 percent across-the-board pay increase on Jan. 1.
Senate Democratic and Republican leaders on Wednesday announced an eleventh-hour deal to end a government shutdown and avert a federal debt default and also lock in sequestration's deep spending cuts.
The size of the Dec. 1 cost-of-living adjustment in military retired pay and Social Security will not be announced as scheduled this week if the government shutdown continues.
The Pentagon's accountants said today that all troops will receive their pays and allowances on time for the mid-month paycheck next week, but some details remain unclear.

Troops and families on some installations may find that there is no Catholic priest to celebrate Mass at their chapel on Sunday, assuming the government shutdown continues.
Will troops in Afghanistan receive imminent danger pay during the government shutdown?
Some military-affiliated banks and credit unions have announced their plans to help service members manage their finances if there is a government shutdown and Oct. 15 paychecks are affected.
With five days left until the partial shutdown of the U.S. government on Monday, there are lots of ideas but no consensus about how to keep doors open on federal agencies.
With Congress still wrestling with how to avoid a government shutdown on Tuesday, the Treasury Department issued another piece of bad fiscal news Wednesday, saying that the debt ceiling crisis will arrive sooner and be worse than previous estimates.
A federal regulator aims to add financial education for troops at 'bookend points' before they enter service and after they leave.
A key Republican subcommittee chairman is ready to accept pay and benefits cuts for future service members, but he won't support base closing or significant force structure cuts.
President Obama wants to consider sweeping changes to the military's retirement and compensation system, but he also said that all current troops should be grandfathered under the current retirement plan if they choose.
In the midst of discussion about launching a U.S. military strike on Syria, President Obama moved Friday to reduce the size of January's military raise.
Army wife Ashley Broadway has paid about $2,000 out of pocket for unexpected medical bills since June, on top of the $350 a month she has been paying for medical insurance.
Congress returns to work Sept. 9 to face a bruising budget battle with strong odds of having another round of sequestration and an additional threat of delaying November checks to service members, veterans and retirees.

Since its inception in 2006, this young London studio has been leading the way with experimental typography and clean, clear communication
"We've definitely got a tendency towards clean, graphic forms," remarks Sawdust's Rob Gonzalez on his and co-founder Jonathan Quainton's shared passion for typography. "I find it interesting how you can take an 'A', experiment with it loads and it'll still be universally recognisable."
This love of experimentation, particularly with type – combined with a penchant for clean, clear communication – has won the small Shoreditch-based studio clients on the scale of Sony Music and Nike, and also led to an invitation to design its first working typeface: NewModern.
Although founded in 2006, the studio had been a distant dream since the pair met while studying for national diplomas in graphic design as teenagers. "It was always a pipe dream at college," recalls Quainton. "We often ended up working together on projects – we had some kind of creative connection, I guess. We parted ways when we went to uni but kept in touch, and it was just a matter of right time, right place."
While Quainton went on to study a higher national diploma in Banbury, Gonzalez took the graphic design course at Bath Spa University before embarking on a number of internships, including one at iconic studio Airside. He then found himself a permanent role as a designer at digital agency Meme. But after bagging that much-coveted first job, things didn't pan out as expected.
"I felt a little bit restricted," admits Gonzalez. "I was employed as the sole designer, plus it was a digital agency, which wasn't really where I wanted to be. I was interested in illustration and image-making, and also typography, and I began to realise that finding a job that housed all of these was going to be tricky at the best of times."
In a twist of luck, Quainton had moved to London at around the same time and was crashing on Gonzalez's floor. "I was doing a bit of freelance illustration work, then a joint project designing T-shirts for the fashion label Worn By came up and we took it on together," Quainton explains. "We began thinking: if there isn't a job out there that you're happy with, why not create your own? So we made the jump and set up Sawdust."
They picked the studio name because of its associations with carpentry and craftsmanship: "It's about creating something beautiful through skill and effort," says Quainton. "Sawdust is what's left over at the end of a great project."
But despite their clear vision of the type of studio they wanted to be, getting there proved a little more difficult. "At the start we had pretty much no clients apart from Worn By," laughs Gonzalez. "But we kept at it and more began to come through, mostly through contacts at my old workplace and internships. The only problem was that, again, it was mostly digital work, so we were constantly trying to steer things in the direction we wanted to go."
Their relative inexperience also landed the pair in some rather embarrassing situations: "There was one pitch we did for a women's lingerie brand that was just horrible," laughs Quainton. "We were completely the wrong match for them. They were looking for a strategy to move the brand forward, and we arrived with a bunch of logo designs. They knew as soon as we turned up that they were wasting their time. However, on the plus side, they did really like our designs – it was just the complete opposite of what they wanted."

Maintenance agreements on equipment are able to be tracked easily within ELC. The agreements may vary from simple agreements on tariffs to complex full-service contracts with price indexing, billing arrangements, special rates for repairs outside of business hours and more. It is important that all the specifics of the agreements are captured. ELC has many types of maintenance and service contracts but it is flexible enough to tailor agreements as needed and to capture the information and ensure proper invoicing. To capture the repairs done on work orders, we use jobcodes. Jobcodes are used to provide for flat-rate or time and material repairs.
The supplier warranty claim process is fully integrated with the service work order module. The entire warranty process is covered, from the decision that certain parts or hours on a work order are warranty to the time the payment from the supplier arrives. The reporting also allows quick and easy access to the results of warranties claimed vs. warranties paid.
For many suppliers ELC has a complete integrated interface with the warranty claim processing so all the processing is only needed to be entered once and that is at the time of entry on the work order. From that point on it is all processed electronically resulting in increased accuracy and significant time savings.
ELC includes all integrated processes for companies that sell, rent, lease or provide service for equipment or machinery. ● A complete field service solution ● Complex Maintenance schedules made simple ● Fully intergrated CRM ● Integrated warranty processing ● Complete service history ● Fleet Management

Couchbase provides a standalone Moxi component that enables scalable deployments across multiple web application servers. The best practice is to install one standalone Moxi per web application server, and then point web applications to the standalone Moxi instance on its own server. The Moxi component then communicates directly with the Cluster Manager (specified via the HTTP/REST URL supplied upon Moxi startup). This Moxi component communicates with the Cluster Manager and is aware of cluster settings and changes.

Aboitiz returns to Banilad schools for Brigada Eskwela
Tuesday, May 25, 2010
Aboitiz Group team leaders and team members will take time out this Saturday to participate in the Department of Education's Brigada Eskwela program.
During the activity, the volunteers will repaint classrooms and do necessary repairs to prepare its partner-schools for the opening of classes in June.
Employees of Aboitiz Group companies in Cebu will do repair and maintenance works on two Cebu City schools in fulfillment of its commitment to support the Brigada Eskwela program of the Department of Education (DepEd).
On May 29, the volunteer employees will continue the works it has started on their adopted schools—Banilad Elementary School and Banilad Night High School. In 2009, they repainted the exterior of the school buildings. For this year's Briagda Eskwela, they will repaint the interiors of the classrooms.
The Brigada Eskwela is a week-long activity of the DepEd that taps parents, alumni, civic groups, local businesses, non-government organizations, teachers, students and other volunteers to spare their time to help prepare public schools across the country for the opening of classes in June.
Repair works being undertaken by volunteers include painting roofs and classrooms; cementing footpaths; fixing leaking water pipes; and repairing toilets, chairs and desks, among others.
For two consecutive years now, Aboitiz team leaders and team members have been participating in the Brigada Eskwela, which is now on its eighth year.
Aside from Cebu-based volunteers from the Aboitiz Group companies, other business units in other parts of the country also conducted a similar project in their respective areas of operation.

Though it proves fatal in 5% to 30% of cases, most cases can be treated successfully with antibiotics, the disease agency says.
People contract the disease when they breathe in droplets of water contaminated with the bacteria, it says.
Hospitals are vulnerable because of their complex water systems, and because many of their patients already have illnesses that could put them at increased risk of infection.
Older people, smokers, people with impaired immune systems or chronic lung disease also tend to be at higher risk,the CDC said.

Ok, this is for all you discus keepers. I'm playing with the idea of trying discus. I'm just in the research stage right now and trying to get as much info as I can in order to make an informed decision as to if I really want to do this or not. The thing that is making me the most hesitant is the common belief that they are very difficult to keep. So since I'm just starting my research I have a few questions and will probably have lots more so any help would be really appreciated. Ok, here goes:
first, I'm planning on using a 55g tank that I have. It already is set up for central americans and has a heater and an AC500. I'm thinking of adding a Rena XP2 or using the AC500 on another tank I have and using just a Rena XP3 on the 55gal. The XP3 is rated for 175g so will that be enough for a 55g tank with discus or will that be overkill?
1. Are they really that difficult to care for?
2. Do you just use water out of the tap or do you try to soften it with peat or some other substance?
3. I'm thinking of going bare bottom with the tank, is this a good idea? I've read it makes keeping things clean a lot easier.
4. How often do you do water changes? I've read some do them weekly while others do them daily. I can handle weekly but if it's daily, I have to admit I don't have the time for that.
5. How many discus do I go with? I've read 6 is a good number for a 55g but I don't want to overstock and I was thinking 4 would be an ok number.
6. I want this to be a species tank but I would like to add some cory cats as a clean up crew because from what I've read, discus are messy eaters. Which cory cats do ok in the higher temps that discus require?
Well that's it for now. Sorry to ask so many questions but I want to make sure I can take care of these guys properly before I get them.

St. John's College Professor Receives Fulbright Award
Jody Fisher
May 14, 2003
Jamaica, NY
- Dr. Konrad Tuchscherer, Assistant Professor of History at St. John's University, New York, has been awarded a Fulbright Scholar grant to conduct research in Cameroon during the 2003-2004 academic year, according to the United States Department of State and the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board.
Tuchscherer, a specialist in African history and languages in St. John's College of Liberal Arts and Studies (one of the six schools and colleges that comprise St. John's University), will conduct fieldwork on vanishing African alphabets in the western grassfield region of Cameroon. In 1999, Tuchscherer discovered the characters of an extinct writing system known as "Bagam.'
Tuchscherer is one of approximately 800 U.S. faculty and professionals who will travel abroad to some 140 countries for the 2003-2004 academic year through the Fulbright Scholar Program. Established in 1946 under legislation introduced by the late Senator J. William Fulbright of Arkansas, the program's purpose is to build mutual understanding between the people of the United States and other countries.
The Fulbright Program, America's flagship international educational exchange activity, is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. Over its 57 years of existence, thousands of U.S. faculty and professionals have studied, taught or done research abroad, and thousands of their counterparts from other countries have engaged in similar activities in the U.S. They are among more than 250,000 American and foreign university students, K-12 teachers, and university faculty and professionals who have participated in one of the several Fulbright exchange programs.
Recipients of Fulbright Scholar awards are selected on the basis of academic or professional achievement and because they have demonstrated extraordinary leadership potential in their fields. Among thousands of prominent Fulbright Scholar alumni are Milton Friedman, Nobel Prize-winning economist; Alan Leshner, CEO of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS); Rita Dove, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet; and Craig Barrett, CEO of Intel Corporation.
For further information about the Fulbright Scholar Program, please contact Kirsten Bermingham, communications specialist, Council for International Exchange of Scholars at 202-686-7869 or at

Order Standard by 2 p.m. ET 12/19 for 12/24 delivery. Standard $25+ orders ship free
It was EXACTLY what I was expecting! I ordered the box in rose, and it's beautiful. Within minutes of putting it on my desk, all of my roommates were fawning over it. I don't know what I'll put in here, but I'm excited to have it as a decoration for now (I'm a French major, so France is the dominant theme of my belongings in the apartment).
Really an adorable box, purchased for my daughter, a macaron lover. Well crafted, and a bargain for the price. The soft yellow is very pale, but not close to white.
These would make a great stocking stuffer. I was really impressed by the quality given the very reasonable price of this item. Now I want one in each color!
I used this along with some real macaroons to gift some jewelry to my mother in law. So perfect and cute , I got the lavender one and it was so pretty.
I love little trinket boxes, I collect them. So when I saw these I was really excited. I ordered one and kept it in the plastic packaging it came in until I was done refinishing my vanity. I went to take it out to display on the vanity and the box was not intact. The little metal stripping around it had come "un glued" from the rest and it fell apart. Because I had it for a few months before opening it, I can't even return or ask for a replacement. I had actually planned on buying one of these in every color and then displaying them like you would a box of Macaron's, but it's a waste of money!!!
Love putting these on my jewelry armoire! What a great way to store frequently worn earrings and rings! Bought for gifts many times.
This was an impulse buy, but I don't regret it. It's bigger than I expected and super cute. I use it daily as a pillbox. The only reason I gave it 4/5 stars is because I ordered light lavender and it is much lighter than any of the pictures I have seen online. It looks white in most light.
What an adorable product! I've got the pistachio/light green color, and use it to carry spare earrings, or little trinkets for work. Makes me smile every time it gets taken out. Very well made, heavyweight and strong, tight-closing hinge!
I got this from my reward points and mostly just because it was very cute in the pictures. So I got the rose color and it's actually a bubblegum pink I would say. I don't know what I'm going to store in it, right now I'm really just using it as a decoration.
Its very girly, cute and pink! I like it a lot.I wish it looked a little bit more real but its still very cute I have it in my room

Although rooms do not come with a refrigerator I requested one ahead of time and it was waiting for me in the room. Overall this is a great hotel if you have business... More

A series of political advertisements created by the Montana Democratic Party face allegations of defamation.
Founder and CEO of RightNow Technologies, Greg Gianforte, recently filed suit against the Montana Democratic Party.
Gianforte claims the organization made false statements about U.S. House candidate Steve Daines' involvement with RightNow.
According to court documents, the political advertisements in question say that Daines "built a business with over $15 million in government contracts paid with tax payer money, then shipped jobs overseas."
The second ad says that Daines "outsourced jobs from his own business, laying off hardworking Montanans."
Gianforte says those advertisements are false.
"The entire team at RightNow Technologies spent 15 years of our lives creating good paying jobs right here in Bozeman that average $86,000 a year. For anyone to say that we used taxpayer dollars to send jobs overseas is incorrect and offensive. People should not lie about our accomplishments for their personal and political gain," said Gianforte.
The Montana Democratic Party issued a statement saying, "this case has no merit. It's in our lawyer's hands."
Daines joined RightNow in 2000 as VP of Customer Service. Daines had played many roles in RightNow since.
Gianforte has requested a trial by jury. A date has yet to be set.

Maybe if everyone at camping had taken my suggestion that we "carol" at each of the campsites, I wouldn't have had to turn to musical theater to cheer myself up. Again.

I spent a long weekend in the relative wilderness and (thanks to certain products) survived without a sunburn or a bug bite.
