Seeking to break addiction to cigarettes, some smokers have turned toward an unproven product in electronic cigarettes.
Jason Cranor, 28, of Paducah said he turned to e-cigarettes to quit smoking traditional cigarettes. He enjoyed his product indoors at The Star restaurant.
Paducah City Manager Jeff Pederson said as the current smoking prohibition stands, e-cigarettes are not considered tobacco products and may be smoked indoors at public businesses.
"Honestly, it gives you what you want physically," Cranor said. "But mentally, it's just not there. I still wanted real cigarettes. I did good with it for a couple of weeks, but ended up doing what a lot of smokers do, and went back to real cigarettes."
Dr. Shawn Jones, an otolaryngologist at Purchase ENT, said he considers e-cigarettes, with a battery, nicotine canister and tube, a drug delivery system.
"The problems I see with them are two fold," Jones said. "FDA studies have tested e-cigarettes from different manufacturers. Results show a tremendous variation in the amount of nicotine delivered per puff."
Jones also warned that the e-cigarettes contain unregulated tobacco byproducts. Containing nicotine, the e-cigarettes remain habit forming. He said many of the products contain flavors, and appeal to children. With nicotine and flavors, he worries these products could lead younger users to other tobacco products.
Jeff Ventura, spokesman for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, said recent court cases prevent the FDA from classifying and regulating e-cigarettes as drug delivery products and must be listed as tobacco products. As e-cigarettes are relatively new, they are not regulated under the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act of 2009.
Ventura cited a FDA statement called "FDA and public health experts warn about electronic cigarettes" available at fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements/ucm173222.htm. According to the report, laboratory analysis of electronic cigarette samples found some contain carcinogens and toxic chemicals such as diethylene glycol, an ingredient of antifreeze.
Jones said without actual combustion, e-cigarettes seem to have less risk of second-hand smoke than cigarettes. Most of what comes off the tip and is exhaled is water vapor. For those quitting smoking, he suggested products like nicotine patches or gum with a metered amount of the drug in each dose.
"I can't really say e-cigarettes are unsafe, but there are a lot of variations from product to product," Jones said. "I can't say that they are safe, either. They are probably safer than cigarettes, but I'm just guessing because I don't know what a particular product has in it."

How To : Greasemonkey in Opera
Sunday, February 11, 2007 3:41:15 AM
Start off by downloading a Greasemonkey script which you would like to use. If this file's name doesn't end on "*.user.js" then you'd better rename it so that the file ends with "user.js". If it doesn't, then Opera won't recognize and load the file. See the example shot below :
See the bottom browse/file box?
When you click the "Choose..." button, you'll need to navigate to the folder where you keep your custom JavaScript files which needs to be loaded by Opera.
Good luck and enjoy!

This might be the place to answer my question.
Spektrum Dx8 If I have the stock antenna connected and connected to each other, and ran the booster as well, what could or would happen? I ask as a fail safe to not having shared tx switched power to your booster. Also could be convenient for removal of the booster for indoor flying in the winter. resale with a booster port option etc. Cheers |

What should be the sequence of powering up the set: booster first and then the radio or radio on first and then the booster or it does not really matter as long as the antenna is on the booster and there is RF connection between the booster and the TX?
In my setup I will not be able to connect them both in the same time as there will be some distance in between them. |
May 17, 2012, 09:01 AM | ||
I read in the thread earlier that the booster doesn't power on until it gets signal from the transmitter. That would make me think that the booster could be powered first. I've heard that powering on a transmitter without antenna can mess up the transmitter. Is that true? Also, in a similar thread guys are saying these boosters can go out at any time and regularly. Is that true? Anyone here had a booster fail on them? |
May 18, 2012, 08:39 AM | ||
The booster has a maximum amount of signal it will intake. The attenuators makes sure the radio transmitter doesn't get burnt up when excess isn't used. That is the redneck response...you can read the thread to get a more scientific one...it's been addressed several times. |

Legal Etiquette for Difficult SituationsTexas Lawyer 2012-12-28 14:53:10.0 Let's talk legal etiquette -- the real deal, though. No platitudes on returning phone calls promptly, promising to adhere to a budget or proclaiming knowledge of the client's business. No, let's talk about the hard stuff, which is more immediate, useful and hard-wired. Here, then, is an etiquette guide for the hopeful, the aspiring and the bewildered. No. 1: How to reject business: I met with the CEO of a business in a creative industry. He wanted me to draft non-compete agreements for his employees. Sounds great, right? Solvent client, interesting work. But then he said, "I don't know why I need a non-compete. My employees love me. Sure, I throw things at them, but it's the creative process." Stop the presses. My response: "Your problem requires immediate attention, and I am unable to do so now. There are many board certified labor and employment lawyers who can help you." (By the way, do not pawn someone like this off on a fellow lawyer.) There is a saying among salespeople: The best sale you make is the sale you didn't make. That was all Zen to me until this meeting. Think about this when temptation next knocks. No. 2: How to act as a businessperson: Why do lawyers often answer the knock on the door and take on business that we shouldn't? My answer: Each of us has a powerful need to be liked -- not Facebook "liked," but liked on a real and personal basis. For a lawyer, nothing says "I like you" as much as being hired to be a trusted adviser. But this need to be liked, chosen and trusted should never override basic business sense. Back to the CEO with whom I met: If he throws things at his employees, how would he treat me and my staff? He would make unreasonable demands, suck up lots of time and then complain about the bill. Remember: It is easier to stay out than get out. Lawyers' need to be liked undermines business sense in other ways. Very few attorneys relish sending out bills. But sometimes this means they let bills sit on their desks for months because they subconsciously believe that clients, when receiving bills, will like them less. Let me be direct: Such action (or inaction) is unethical because it puts attorneys' needs (to be loved) above clients' needs (accurate budgeting). No. 3: How to do right when asked to do wrong: Let's move on to another client, whose deposition was slated. When we met in advance to prepare, he acknowledged engaging in inappropriate behavior toward a female subordinate. Later, with one call, he put me in an ethical pickle: "Now that I think about it, she was the aggressor, not me. And it's her word against mine. It was all behind closed doors. That's how I plan to testify -- just a heads up." Thanks a lot. Option No. 1: Be the ethics police, become outraged, tell him that perjury is wrong, get fired. He then goes to another lawyer and does not tell him the truth. Option No. 2: Remember Dr. Samuel Johnson's advice: It is always better to remind than to lecture. I wrote him a letter and sent it as a PDF, explaining that I understood that his comments were borne of frustration with a slow, costly and emotionally draining legal process. I noted that we had developed a good relationship and emphasized that I knew he would never do anything to cause me to withdraw as his lawyer. I sent the message, and he understood it. We went to mediation before his deposition. All was resolved. Life is not always black and white. He made a mistake. He deserved a chance to correct it. And I needed to ensure that I did what was necessary not to foster a lie. Etiquette sometimes requires an intricate cha-cha with a client, not a hard-charging disco hustle. No. 4: How to leave a client better off: Clients present counsel with a wonderful opportunity, each and every day, to affect their lives in a positive way. Seize these opportunities. I was defending a physician who faced allegations of sexual harassment. His wife and daughter got caught up in the wake of his indiscretion. His lament: How could I have let this happen? My response: It is a given that all people fall short of ethical standards. They forge their character by how they respond to what they've done. Reframing an issue is the lawyer's art. And here's the karmic bonus room: Those we help can go on to help others. No. 5: How to graduate from BFFs to real friends: I read somewhere that a lawyer's clients should be his/her friends: vacation together, know one another's family members and help each other's careers. I have my doubts. Yes, the best lawyers are friends with clients -- but in a transcendent way. Look at Hamlet, a guy with a lot of troubles, and Horatio, his counselor. A passage in Act 3, Scene 2 shows Hamlet explaining to Horatio why he is Hamlet's friend and adviser. Horatio gives Hamlet the straight dope, not what Hamlet wants to hear: "No, let the candied tongue lick absurd pomp." Horatio learns from all his experiences, good and bad: "[F]or thou hast been/As one, in suffering all, that suffers nothing" and gives "equal thanks" to all experiences because it makes Horatio wiser. Horatio feels strong emotion for Hamlet and will defend him but will never let that passion override his judgment: "[A]nd blest are those/Whose blood and judgment are so well commingled,/That they are not a pipe for fortune's finger." Hamlet then tells Horatio why he values his friendship: "Give me that man/That is not passion's slave, and I will wear him/In my heart's core, ay, in my heart of heart." Translation: friendship based on values, not on frequent-flier miles, pricey holiday gifts or promises to be BFFs.

LAKEWOOD RANCH — Five-year-old Yoni Morales was all smiles as he reached into a gift bag for his new Spiderman toothbrush.
Through a collaborative effort, he and more than 20 other students at McNeal Elementary School received much-needed dental care April 15 at the Richard T. Conard M.D. Medical and Dental Building at Manatee
Technical Institute's East Campus.
Under the supervision of Lakewood Ranch Dental's Dr. Peter Masterson, students in Manatee Technical Institute's Dental Assisting Program provided each child with a dental cleaning, polishing, fluoride treatment and X-rays. Masterson checked over each child, filled out forms and provided possible referrals about any additional dental care needed.
"Anytime you spend time with kids, it's fun," Masterson said. "It's nice to know a group of people is doing something to help our community and hopefully make it better in the end."
The partnership with MTI is the culmination of a months-long effort by East County school nurses to provide dental care to students with little to no access to dental care. Last fall, Cheryl Stuart, a nurse at McNeal and Braden River elementary schools, began soliciting the help of local dentists to provide care for her students, many of whom had severe tooth decay.
Creekwood Dental provided free care to about 25 students in February as part of the American Dental Association's Give Kids a Smile Day, and at that time, the partnership with MTI had yet to be solidified.
With the assistance of Dr. Masterson, everything came together.
"The hope is that this will swell into something where the students can get dental care," Stuart said. "We're hoping (MTI) can do the cleaning and immediate care and refer them to dentists for bigger problems. (These families) can't get this anywhere else for $10."
Although the partnership is one between public schools, MTI and local dentists, it could not have been accomplished without help from members of the business community, Stuart said.
Soila Abrams and Janet Mendoza, community health workers for the Tillman Full Service Center, transported families who lacked transportation to and from MTI.
McNeal dad William Vasquez, a representative for Proctor & Gamble's Professional Oral Health Division, and East County businessman Hugo Nunez, owner of Mi Pueblo restaurant, provided translation services as well as dental supplies. Vasquez donated toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss and other dental products to the children and to MTI, and Nunez provided each child with a gift bag stuffed with an electric toothbrush and other items.
"I was an immigrant to at one time," Nunez said with soft smile. "And, I really enjoy the kids."
So did MTI's Dental Assisting Program students, who normally do not get to work on children. Program Director Kimberly Bland said the experience was invaluable for her students.
"We know of the community's need," Bland said. "That was one of the main reasons we wanted to do this. Secondly, we want our students to be exposed to public need. We're trying to get a feel for what needs to be done."
Organizers are not sure how often children will be able to receive dental care through the partnership with MTI, but Bland said she hopes to offer the service at least twice a year. Availability will depend largely on the support from the local dental community because a dentist must be present for MTI students to work on patients.
No other dentists have offered their services at this time, Stuart said.
The program is intended for children whose families cannot afford dental care. Anyone wishing to contribute or seeking more information should contact Sue Troxler at 751-6550.

Kernel 2.6.28: "Happy Holidays" from Torvalds
Linus Torvalds has kept his promise and released Kernel 2.6.28 right at the Holidays. The little present shows some doings since Release Candidate 9, especially in the DVB-T area and for PCI hotplug devices.
In his announcement, Linus "almost Santa" Torvalds summarizes the small changes since RC9 and suggests that "all good boys and girls" should install the kernel as soon as they can. He says, "if your computer could smile, it would have a big silly grin on its non-existent face."
Kernel 2.6.28 brings notably better memory management. Among other important improvements is support for the ext4 successor to the ext3 filesystem. The evolved ext4 filesystem has long been part of the kernel, but finally graduated out of "in development" status. Completely new are support for Ultra Wide Band IP (UWB-IP) on wireless USB and the atl2 driver for Fast Ethernet devices from Atheros built into several Asus mainboards and netbooks.

That has merely stoked the flames for what is always a fiery and tight encounter in which England have failed to score a try in their last three trips north of the border.
To that end Lancaster has named a new midfield with Saracens trio Charlie Hodgson, Brad Barritt and Owen Farrell getting call-ups. Yet despite the interim head coach's talk of creating 'longevity' with an inexperienced squad, featuring eight uncapped players, he will only be judged by the final scoreline at Murrayfield.
"Maybe that naivety is a good thing," said Lancaster, who took over from Martin Johnson on an interim basis after the World Cup.
"Stepping out at Murrayfield will be the acid test. We can talk and talk, but until we go out there, that is when we will find out.
"At the outset I talked about two things - building a team that has longevity, and giving opportunities to new players," he said.
"We also talked about developing a style of play that allows us to express ourselves in terms of talent from both an attacking and a defensive point of view, and I like to think we have been true to our word in this selection.
"It's about a team for now and a team for the future, we're trying to achieve both.
"Equally, we also know that the result is paramount at the weekend, so we need to keep an eye on that."
Along with Barritt and Farrell, Northampton's Phil Dowson will make his debut as he starts in the back-row alongside new captain Chris Robshaw.
There are further new faces on the bench with Rob Webber, Geoff Parling, Ben Morgan, Lee Dickson and Jordan Turner-Hall set to make their debuts if they come on.
In contrast, Andy Robinson largely sticks with the tried and trusted with winger Lee Jones making his debut and No.8 David Denton making his first start.
Perhaps the biggest talking point was the selection of veteran Dan Parks at fly-half ahead of inexperienced pair Ruaridh Jackson and Greig Laidlaw.
Although the choice of Parks and his kicking game might be a conservative option, Robinson denied Scotland will be approaching the Calcutta Cup with a one-dimensional game plan.
"You think of the way we played against Wales two years ago when everyone said we were going to kick the ball, or when Glasgow played against Toulouse, ran Toulouse off the field and won the game out there," said Robinson. "Dan was the fly-half on both occasions.
"We've got to balance our game in the way that we play. That's the key for us; to be able to play in different ways, from the carrying of the forwards to that of Sean Lamont and Nick De Luca, to the quick feet of Max [Evans] and Lee Jones. We have to have a balance and Dan will lead that."

Having a dream can be a tricky thing. Achieving a dream can take you up to the highest of highs. Meanwhile, falling just short? Well, it can be completely crushing.
Despite all that, it can be worth the risk...just ask the guys in the Eli Young Band. The music video for the group's hit "Even If It Breaks Your Heart" illuminates that very point. The clip captures various dreamers roaming through the streets of Music City. Some are bright-eyed and eager to embark, while others seem to be teetering on the edge of giving up.

What kind of cost/benefit metrics should be considered when trying to support one's local vendors. Mostly I am looking into the printing end of things, but what general metrics should I be weighing? Many particular vendors charge more than I am willing to support; but am I possibly missing a side benefit that might arise from the relationship?
For more background, I was trying to come up with a vendor/cart solution for a site where customers could order prints. In shopping around to local vendors, I found that their costs don't compete dollar for dollar with online shops (quality of product being basically equal). Yet in wanting to support my local economy, I am wondering if there are particular added value s to eating an amount of the cost. IE, "Even if the cost is 3% higher, this is balanced out by being able to [X]."

A Brief History of Unmanned Aircraft
From bomb-bearing balloons to the Global Hawk.
- By Ed Darack
- AirSpaceMag.com, May 18, 2011
Despite the historic focus on military uses, UAV designers see an ever-expanding non-military role for their vehicles as airframe designs, control systems, and onboard sensors become more reliable, smaller, lighter, longer-lasting, safer, and cheaper.
In 2007, an Aerosonde UAV took off from the NASA Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia and headed into Hurricane Noel, a Category 1 storm churning up the eastern coast of the United States. During its 17 hour, 27 minute flight into Noel, the Aerosonde flew as low as 300 feet above sea level, far lower than a piloted airplane would dare travel inside a hurricane eyewall. Last year, NASA used a Global Hawk to take this image of Tropical Storm Frank over the Pacific Ocean. Other non-military UAV uses include crop monitoring, search and rescue, fire spotting, mineral exploration, aerial photography and ground mapping. And those are only the ones we've thought of already.

I really liked the piece on "A Brief History of Unmanned Aircraft". I learned some things that I did not know.

Really enjoyed this set... especially the Ronald Reagan and Marilyn Monroe connection with Radioplane. A very small world makes for great history telling. Enjoyed the story greatly.

I expected to see the Ryan Model 154-AQM 91A "Compass Arrow" from 1968 in your history of Unmanned Aircraft.
It was a big step forward in this field.
Check "Fireflies and other UAV's" by William Wagner published in 1992.

In the article you start out by saying Naval Aviators learned in T-6'. Not so, they flew the SNJ. Pretty much the same a/c but a T-6 is a T-6 and an SNJ is still an SNJ.I served aboard NAAS Miramar in 1952 as plane captain for an SNJ and an SNB Miramar hadn't been designated NAS yet so we were basically the only a/c on base. It was a great time to be there, a time to learn and improve my skills as an Aviation Mech with a crew that cared about the a/c we sent out everday. Glenn Dunham, AD2

following up on the article with Ronald Reagan and Marily Monroe with Radioplane. I too was surprised by the connection because after my first assignment at Miramar I was transferred to Hawaii's Barbers Point utility squadron and worked in a KD238 where we flew Radioplane KD-28 drones. We flew them off the North Shore of Oahu at Dillingham AFB and off an A/C carrier to service the guns on several DD's on a cruise to Japan. We flew both prop driven and pulse jet engines and I still have pictures of both kind if anybody woulc care to share. firstname.lastname@example.com

"The Buzz Bombs proved devastating, killing more than 10,000 civilians and injuring nearly 28,000."
And the many inmates at the Dora-Nordhausen concentration camp in the Harz mountains Germany, where these weapons where build under greawsom conditions..
I live under one of the old V-1 'flight-lines' from Rotterdam-Pernis to Antwerp. I remember the removals of a number of malfunctioned and crashed V-1's in my neighborhood at Spijkenisse, the Netherlands.

Why Wild Animals Are Moving Into Cities, And What To Do About It
Global warming and environmental destruction are driving coyotes, bears and mountain lions out of their habitats, but that's only part of the reason why so many animals call the city home.
It's been a while since he tried to count them all, but Stan Gehrt estimates that more than 2,000 coyotes make a comfortable living in the Chicago metropolitan area today. And in the 12 years he's spent tracking the animals with radio and GPS collars, Gehrt, a wildlife ecologist at Ohio State University, has witnessed some remarkable adaptations. Suburban coyotes, like the pack in a residential area a few miles from O'Hare airport, have learned to live in much smaller territories than they do in rural places. Downtown coyotes, which roam among the towers and traffic of the Chicago Loop, thrive in the city by hunting enough small rodents to feed themselves and their young. Some urban coyotes have even been spotted crossing streets in busy traffic—at the light, looking both ways, just like human Chicagoans.
What's happening in Chicago is happening around the world, and not just with coyotes. Gehrt and other researchers in his field are convinced that urban areas should prepare to make room for large carnivores. Coyotes, which live in every state but Hawaii, have appeared in cities from Los Angeles to New York. This spring, biologists in Los Angeles radio-collared the first mountain lion ever found in Griffith Park, the home of the Hollywood sign. Complaints about bears in Nevada around Lake Tahoe increased tenfold between 1997 and 2007. Red foxes have colonized London.
These animals are going to great lengths to live in human territory. Two years ago in London, building staff found a fox living on the 72nd floor of the unfinished Shard skyscraper, where it had been living on construction workers' discarded food scraps. The new territory is changing animals' behavior, too. Some bears in Lake Tahoe, well fed on garbage year-round, now neglect to hibernate in winter.
It's reasonable to assume that these animals are moving to the city because they're being displaced by climate change and habitat destruction, but that's only part of the explanation. One of the biggest factors is that there are more large carnivores than there used to be—primarily, Gehrt says, because of successful conservation efforts. As we make our cities greener, they become more attractive to humans and animals alike. Finally, the relationship between humans and large predators is changing. "We're now seeing generations of certain carnivores that have had fairly light amounts of persecution by people," Gehrt says. "They may view cities quite a bit differently than their ancestors did 50 years ago. Then, if they saw a human, there was a good chance they were going to get shot."
While the new inhabitants keep their distance from people most of the time, conflict is inevitable when these animals and humans share space. Sometimes the conflict is between the invading predators and our own domesticated animals. A few years ago in a Chicago suburb, an elderly woman fought off a coyote that tried to attack her leashed poodle in a mall parking lot. More serious clashes are rare but not unheard of. In a two-month span in 2011, a coyote attacked children in the Denver suburb of Broomfield on three separate occasions.
As we make our cities greener,
they become more attractive to humans and animals alike.Gehrt and two other wildlife ecologists traveled to Broomfield to help officials find out what was causing the attacks, and the report that they wrote serves as a template for other cities dealing with carnivores. Much of the advice is common sense. Taking away easy meals—garbage and outdoor pet food—can help control issues with any species. In Nevada, for example, bear-proofing garbage cans and dumpsters has helped decrease complaints by two thirds since 2008.
Ultimately, though, the key to living with urban carnivores might be to return to an older, more natural relationship between humans and wildlife—one in which they are genuinely scared of us. Gehrt's report urges anyone who spots a coyote to shout, throw rocks, or even shoot it with a paintball gun.
When a large predator loses its instinctive fear of humans, after all, that animal becomes more likely to attack. Gehrt says that culling truly fearless animals is necessary for maintaining a harmonious urban life with coyotes—a life that he sees as inevitable. "The question becomes, to what degree are we going to tolerate the risk, and what kind of adjustments to our lives are we willing to make?" Gehrt says. "Because we can't get rid of them."
be violent is the answer?
didnt went too well with africans, wont work with animals... we have to accept the change and adapt you dicks... not throw rocks at living beings like in prehistorical age.
(Type 0.72) = We are still just cleaver monkeys!
Isn't this just the first stage of domestication for these predators? I saw we roll with it and welcome our new animal friends. It may be risky at first, but with enough time, I think it may well pay off.
Not to mention that rat control!
With a by line like this "Global warming and environmental destruction are driving coyotes" are you going to change your name to PopStupid? Just curious... the latest data shows there has been no warming in 16 year. I really expect better of you guys. Seriously...
Ok - this is where you need to take a look at Alaska. Specifically Anchorage. It's my home state and my home city is Anchorage. It's a city of 270,000 people and we share our city with a population of 2500 moose, 500 bears and several other wildlife species.
You have to learn how to co-exist with these animals. There are rules. What's the safest distance and what to do with your trash and how to drive to avoid hitting the bigger ones. A moose will total anything smaller than a school bus.
You have to learn how to live with them and work them. As our population grows and we become a "greener" society we will encroach on the animal's habitat and their on ours.
It's all about coexistence and learning how to make a city both animal friendly and animal safe. Road fences to keep the animals from crossing dangerous highways is one of the solutions we have in Alaska along with bear safe trash cans and knowing how to handle the animals without killing them unless we have to.
It's not utopia by any means. Moose get angry, there's rutting season (finding a mate)and sometimes Bears just don't get the hint and won't leave and sometimes? It's a Momma protecting her babies. Moose cross the road, get hit by cars and people do die. People get stupid and get between a bear and its babies or its food or get too close...wolves get hungry and have an argument with a dog and if the dog is small enough it's food to the wolf or to the lynx that came by...
But we do learn how to live with them and for the most part keep a somewhat peaceful existence with them and keep a truce. Large cities with these problems could take a lesson or two from the North. Though not as large a city, we do have solutions to make it a workable relatively peaceful existence between humans and wildlife.

The hotel is in a great situation in the old Medina and surprisingly quiet. Staff are friendly and helpful. The initial room we were put in was very... small and the loo flush was broken and the window fell off its hinges! They moved us into a bigger room which was more what we were expecting for the price and everything worked. Beds and pillows very hard but the staff did try to find us softer pillows. Sitting on the roof terrace for breakfast was lovely looking out over the whole city in the sunshine. Courtyards were attractive and decor very tasteful. – Clare Gloucestershire-st 06/05/2013

Just as the digital alarm clock hit 7:00 am, the blaring sound of the radio echoed through the small 300 square foot living room. With a groan, Roanna extended her long, skinny arm from underneath a small fleece blanket on the couch and ran her fingers over the buttons until the radio song Die Another Day turned off. A tired, groggy groan came from underneath the tangled fleece blanket until Roanna threw it off of her, letting it pool to the floor. She sat up slowly, twisting her back in different directions hearing and feeling her back crack and pop a few times. She ran her fingers through her short tangled hair before rubbing her tired eyes, forcing herself to her feet. She took a chance to look at the alarm clock which now read 7:10.
Too bad time doesnt go that fast when Im at work. She grumbled to herself. It was the first day of school, and she was already running late. She must have slept through the first alarm that was scheduled to go off at 6:30, or maybe she just didnt set it the night before. She pried herself to stand up off of the couch, picking up the blanket and folded it up, setting it on the back of the couch before going to the bathroom for a quick shower. With a towel wrapped tightly around her, she walked to her mothers even smaller bedroom and opened up the dresser that the two of them shared and quickly got dressed in a pair of tight blue worn jeans, a white cami and then a long-sleeved V-neck deep purple shirt over the top. She returned back to the bathroom to quickly run some gel through her hair, styling the short brown hair to the side and spiking up the ends of the back of her head.
Now back in the living room (which was also openly attached to the kitchen), she picked up a small cel phone from the coffee table, seeing that the backlight had just recently lit up. She flipped it open and saw that she had a text from her friend Stephanie.
I have a surprise. Can you be ready in 10?
Roanna quickly typed back a sure before stuffing the phone into her pocket and took three steps to the fridge, opening it to find it unhealthily empty. She pulled out a bottle of Dr. Pepper, closed the fridge and then gathered up her books and backpack. By the time she was ready to start walking to school, she heard a couple car honks from outside. She opened the door to find her best friend Stephanie pulled alongside the curb in her Olive Green Jeep Wrangler, top down and her blonde curly locks flying freely in the wind.
Get in stupid! Unless you want to walk? Stephanie taunted her, honking the horn twice more. Roannas tired expression melted into a smile as she ran and jumped into the car, not bothering to open the tiny car door.
If this means what I think it means, I think you just made my entire year. Roanna said throwing her backpack into the vehicles tiny back seat. Stephanie nodded, revving up the engine and took off leaving the tiny one bedroom apartment far behind.
I convinced my dad to let me transfer. Ive known for about a week, but I figured Id surprise you in style. Stephanie smirked as the two headed towards the school.

Elias was sitting outside of the school with his Richard Morris. Richard had messy brown hair, green eyes, tanned skin and wore a black t-shirt, blue jeans, and a pair of white tennis shoes.
Im telling you Elias, I got ahold of some really good shit, itll make you drop, Richard stated with a bit of a grin. Elias shook his head before he pushed himself off the wall he was leaning against.
We dont talk about that here okay? I dont want someone overhearing it Texting is cool bro, but you need to learn to shut your mouth, Elias stated before he pulled out his cell phone.
is it covered in crystals? He texted to Richard.
Richard checked his own phone before nodding.
Elira walked over to the two followed by Eliass sister Sarah who was 2 years younger than him. Sarah had black hair, blue eyes and pale skin much like her brother, her hair was short and spikey with long bangs.
What are you two idiots up to? Sarah asked as she put her hands on her hips.
None of your damned business twerp, Elias stated.
You know, that offer still stands Le, I can always take you to a nice little dig and show you a good time, Richard stated with a bit of a smirk.
Elira rolled her eyes.
In your dreams idiot, Elira stated before she adjusted her backpack then nudged Sarah.
Lets get in before they start getting ideas, Elira stated before she headed for the doors of the school. Sarah nodded and followed her into the school.
Elias looked at Richard before rubbing his chin.
We should skip first period. Its only boring talk about history that we already know from previous years in school, Elias stated.
I dont know Im in a lot of trouble with the rents man
When you've lived your entire life on a farm, tending to animals and taking care of your produce, you feel incredibly captivated in the city. Xander didn't feel like he belonged here, and it irked him. He would've much rather moved to Kansas, or something like that, but no, his mother, that sweet woman, ordered him to move to New Lilith, because they had the best school for her 'little boy'. It was seven A.M and Xander had been awake since five. He was always up at five, it was the time he'd usually start his chores back home. Of course, these days, his 'chores' included just straight up physical exercise.
His douche of a boss had made him stay at the shop till 11 p.m the night before so Xander didn't get home until twelve a.m which gave him very little sleep for the day. He really needed a more reliable source of income, if he'd want to be able to keep up his 'extracurricular activities'. But his grumbling was cut short by the ringing of the phone in his pocket, making him fall down from the iron-bar he was using to make upside-down situps. Scrambling up to his feet, he managed to answer his old Nokia, it was his mom. " Hey Ma." He said with a smile, as his mom greeted him back " You up and ready for your first day of school?" The woman asked as Xander scoffed. " Yeah. I just need ta get some breakfast and get dressed."
Xander's mother spent the next five minutes talking about how Xander was slow in getting dressed, and the importance of having a healthy breakfast, talking about her grandma's old recipe for scrambled eggs and bacon. Xander answered with 'uhu' 'okay' and 'absolutely', while he was cleaning up his room. "Ma, I need ta go take a showa now. I'll call you after school. Love ya." He said as he hung up as he walked out of the bedroom and to the bathroom.
Xander walked out ten minutes later, a towel around his waist and rubbing another towel over his hair drying the hair properly. He'd get dressed next nice clean jeans, a black T-shirt and his brown boots. Putting just a little bit of hair-gel into his dark-brown hair before washing his hands. grabbing his bag and heading into the kitchen that was just a few feet away from his bedroom. There he'd chug a glass of Orange-Juice, before taking out two canisters of Blue-Berry Yoghurt. He ate the two in a matter of seconds, before he grabbed the newly toasted pieces of bread and headed towards the door, munching on the pieces of bread as he'd grab his brown leather jacket and unlock the door. He lived on the top floor of this apartment building, with a smile he'd walk down the steps, light on his feet he'd move down them, and after three flights of stairs, he'd be down on the street, walking over the garage, he'd get the black 67 Chevy Impala out. It was an old car. His dad had bought it years ago, and Xander had rebuilt it after his father had died.
He drove out onto the street, popping his 'get psyched' mix-tape in. Yes. Xander still used cassettes.
Guns N' Roses ' Welcome To The Jungle' started, music his parents never really approved off. His little brother rubbed off on him a little too much. As he'd drive out onto the freeway, the mild-mannered country boy couldn't help but headbang ever so slightly to the beat of the old rock song.
About ten minutes later he arrived at the school, parked his car, grabbed his bag and headed towards class. Well, that is, if he could find his class, he had no idea where his classroom was, and he only had ten or so minutes to find out. The tall Texan looked confused at his schedule, and then at the map of the campus, having no idea where he was supposed to go.

Roanna and Stephanie quickly made their way inside the school, the two of them practically glued to the hip until they reached the alphabetical lines that had been formed by the other students to receive their schedules. The two said their quick, temporary goodbyes as they split into separate lines. Roanna finished up the last of her Dr. Pepper, hoping that it would be enough caffeine to get her through the day. She waited in line for what felt like hours, looking over the crowded forum of students also eagerly awaiting their schedules, wondering if she could spot a familiar face or two. Some she recognized, most had hit puberty the right way, others looked exactly the same. Finally, it was Roannas turn and she received her schedule. She squeezed herself through the crowd to the open courtyard in the middle of the school and sat down on a bench to open up her schedule, the bouncy blonde soon joining her not too many moments later.
First Speech 111, second Pre Cal, third Psychology, fourth P.E, lunch, fifth Chemistry, sixth Justice and seventh is open. Roanna read out loud to herself and the two friends compared their schedules to find that the only class she and Stephanie had together was Justice class, and well lunch. The most exciting thing about Roannas schedule was her free period at the end of the day, now she could leave school early and get in some more working hours at the Physical Fitness Center just a couple blocks away where she had been employed since the beginning of the summer.
Well, it could be worse. Stephanie said with a shrug, folding up her schedule and stuffed it into her purse. Roanna didnt care how many classes the two of them had together, she was just glad to be able to even be going to the same school again.
I think it just got worse Roanna said looking over her friends shoulder to see a large-framed man squeezing himself through the open doors into the courtyard headed directly in their direction, a smaller mini-me version of him following close behind.
Ro! Lookin good babe! Jakob said walking up to her with a wide, cheeky smile as if the two of them had been best friends for years. Jakob was a senior and on the schools football team as a defensive lineman; not to mention one of the best. He was built like a powerhouse, at least from what Roanna remembered from last year, but the summer changed his physique even more drastically, the thought coming across her mind that he must have spent the entire summer in juvie working out which wouldnt have surprised her if that were indeed the truth.
Looks like you put on some weight over the summer Jake. Might I suggest that you lose ten pounds of fat and go cut off your head? Roanna said, narrowing her eyes at him. She stood up from the bench, ready to leave not wanting to have anything to do with him. No matter how hard she tried to forget, she still remembered the bruises he had left on her neck when she flat-out refused to go to Prom with him the year before.
Jakobs jaw tightened, not taking well to the insult. He reached for her arm, grabbing it forcefully and then shoved her up against the brick wall against her back. He placed himself a couple of feet in front of her and rested his hand above her shoulder on the wall. Roanna turned her head to the side, not because she was afraid to look at him, but the smell of cigarette smoke from his breath was about to make her lose her breakfast er, soda.
That aint nice Ro. Youre going to learn how to respect me as your man. He hissed, his eyes dancing around her body, no doubt taking notice that certain parts of her had definitely filled out during the summer, despite her scrawny frame.
Fuck off meat-head. Shes not interested. Stephanie said coming to her friends defense, now standing and walking towards Roanna and the man twice her size. She may have been new to the school, but she knew all about Jakob Volpe on account that she and Roanna hardly kept anything from one another ever. Apparently, women that were trying to act tough was downright hilarious as Jakob turned to look at the blonde and busted out laughing and then waved his hand towards his mini-me to take care of the little pest.

Elira was in the school now with her friend Sarah as they started for their classes. They were checking out the hot students now.
How about that guy? Sarah asked pointing out Xander.
Hes pretty hot but he looks like a lost puppy dog, Elira stated.
I dare you to go up to him and talk to him, Sarah said with a bit of a grin. Elira grinned slightly.
Youre on, She stated before she made her way up to Xander. She looked him over and felt her stomach do a few turns.
Hey, names Elira, you can call me Le. You look thoroughly lost Do you need any help?
Elias watched as his sister and her friend walked into the school before he pushed himself off the wall he was leaning against. He looked at Richard and nodded to him.
See you in class man, Elias stated before he started making his way to his first class. Of course he wasnt going to skip, not without his buddy Richard. He shoved his hands in his pocket before spotting a commotion in the schools courtyard. He hid for a moment as he watched what happened. He knew an asshole when he saw one and Jakob was an asshole.
Richard had ran up to Elias before peering over his shoulder.
I thought I said Id see you in class, Elias whispered.
We share the same first period man, Richard stated before frowning. This didnt look like it was going in a good direction.
We should help them man, Richard said. Richard knew about Eliass power, he had witnessed it a few times in the past and every time it was a shocker to see the plants move to Eliass will.
Elias stepped out of the shadows and made his way over to Jakob as he popped his knuckles.
Hey Jakob, why dont you leave her alone? Elias asked.
Richard followed Elias closely.
Xander looked up from his schedule at hearing someone approaching him and then his eyes landed on the younger blonde girl.
"Oh, hey." He said reaching his arm around him to scratch the back of his neck awkwardly. 'Well, at least people here are nice...' Xander thought to himself.
"Um, I'm Xander and...I have no idea where I'm supposed to go..." He admitted sheepishly, a tiny pink blush crossing his tanned cheeks. "I just moved here and well, kind of missed orientation. But I guess that is for the freshman only anyway." He chuckled nervously.
"Heh, can you imagine if I showed up?" 'God Xander just shut your mouth!' He hissed at himself in his mind. That was one of his biggest problems, he tended to ramble when he was nervous about things.
- - - Updated - - -
The interference of the tall, dark-haired boy quickly caught Jakobs attention, slowly turning his large frame to look at him with a glare in his eye by which his back was now to Roanna.
You think this is your business? Jakob scoffed, folding his arms across his chest.
Fuck off before I break your neck pretty boy, my lady and I have some unsettled business. His thick upper lip turned upwards in a half smile exposing his yellow, smoke-stained, crooked teeth.
For the last time, Im NOT your lady! Roanna said pulling herself off the wall to stand by Stephanies side. Her brown eyes glanced over at the dark-haired boy for a split second, her own lips flickering up into a soft smile, grateful for the distraction he had caused, but also worried that this might escalate into something bad quickly.
You shut up! Jakob said turning his body towards her, obviously the ability to carry on two conversations at once was almost impossible for him. His arm had been pulled back and with his turn he struck Roanna hard across her face with the back of his hand, forcing Roanna to take a couple steps backward and put her hand to her face. It was hot and turning red fast, but she let out no sound of pain or surprise. She tightened up her fists, feeling her temper growing hot, seriously considering to unleash her abilities on the jock. THAT would certainly keep him away from her, but that would also mean lots of attention from unwanted people as well.

Elira chuckled at his rambling thinking it was awfully cute.
Here, let me see your schedule, theres some time before classes and I can probably show you where all of your classes are before class starts, Elira offered as she held out a hand to take his schedule. She thought he was handsome, and maybe she could get him to ask her out on a date.
And Im sure the school wouldve understood if you showed up to the freshmen orientation so you could figure out where to go.
Eliass own temper was flaring now. He looked at his friend Richard and nodded. Richard readied himself. Eliass friend had taken karate and was a brown belt, only because minors couldnt receive black belt.
Elias knew he could get suspended for punching someone but to abuse a woman was against every moral in his fiber. He walked up to Jakob and swung his fist, hitting the older male square in his jaw. He pulled back and shook his hand, finding that the impact hurt himself.
You heard what she said, she aint your lady, Elias stated before a slight grin crossed his face. He could really piss the Jock off.
Shes mine actually, Elias stated. He didnt even know the girl but if he could get the jocks full attention, goat him to get him away from her then he knew hedve accomplished something.
"Um, yeah...sure!" Xander said handing over his crinkled schedule. the schedule alone would have told Elira that he was a senior taking advanced classes; college level even.
Advanced Chemistry, Psychology, Anatomy, Weight Training - lunch - Justice, Writing 121, Physics.
Clearly, his schedule was chalk-full and even his electives were taken up with more serious classes, which really told a lot about his character.
"I know where the gym is, but that's about it." He said with a light chuckle. "If you can just point me in the direction of the chem lab, I think I can figure it out from there." He offered, not wanting her to feel like he was COMPLETELY helpless. That would just be embarrassing.
A vein in Jakob's forehead pulsed, his face becoming red in anger as he rubbed his jaw where Elias had struck him. "Who the fuck do you think you are?" Jakob hissed, wiping blood away from his now cracked lip. The smaller jock that was at Jakob's aid narrowed his eyes at the new boy and cracked his knuckles, going to stand by Jakob getting ready for a fight as well.
Roanna, however, moved to stand in between Thomas and Jakob. There was no way she was going to allow anyone else to get hurt because of her own problems.
Knock it off! She said to Jakob, pushing her hands onto his chest to make him take a few steps back away from Thomas, but Jakob didnt budge. Instead, he cracked his knuckles and twisted his neck around a bit, letting his neck crack and stared Elias down, his bowling balls for hands clenching tightly.
After school, on my turf. Football field. He said pointing a fat finger at him and then hacked a loogie at Elias with a sneer. Jakob may have been a meat-head, but he knew that if he got in trouble now, he could kiss his senior year of football goodbye. He turned to look at Roanna, wanting to get the final word in but she had her back to him and was approaching Elias, Stephanie close to her side.
Thanks, but you really should be more careful. Roanna said, not trying to come across as sounding ungrateful, but she would never be able to forgive herself if something had happened to him or Stephanie. She could take a hit, in fact she could take a couple, but living with having someone else hurt on her behalf was too much on her conscious.
Invisible Sarafene
Elias smirked as Jakob walked off before his attention turned to Roanna. He rubbed the back of his neck nervously before he chuckled softly.
I just hate jerks treating women like crap Names Elias, whats yours? He asked.
He was going to be going to attend that fight after school. He might not know everything but if it got too serious there were plants he could use to his advantage on the field, that and he always carried certain plant seeds on him.
It wasnt a wonder as to why his friend called him The Gardner.
Hey look Xander, I know what its like to be lost in this school and I wouldnt want you getting lost so let me show you where everyone of your classes are I mean, this is your last year of school and everything right? She asked before she started heading for his first class. Sarah could only shake her head before she started off to her first class.
Xander let out a light, friendly laugh. She had a point. "Alright, alright." He said giving in and followed the girl to the Advanced Chemistry room. "Any chance I got lucky and share a few classes with you?" Xander asked as they walked, not really taking into consideration the fact that she was a year younger than him. But then again did that really matter? There were plenty of younger students taking advanced classes. Well...maybe not the senior advanced classes, he was pretty lucky to get into those right away.
"Er...Roanna." Roanna said, not quite used to the fact of people asking for her name. It was insignificant really. "So, you're not going to meet with Jakob after school are you? You look like you could hold your own, but he's got the entire football team on his side. Plus...I wouldn't want to bring someone in the middle of my own problems." She sighed, brushing her short hair out from over her right eye. "He thinks we're dating. He's been that way since eighth grade when I first met him. God he's such a jerk." She said and Stephanie nodded her head up and down in agreement.

Dallas is an exciting city with a vibrant future, and by living in a Dallas apartment for rent, you will be able to take part in this larger-than-life adventure. The city is shaped like a wagon wheel, and as you venture outwards from the city center, you will find around 160 neighborhoods that all have their own local offerings and personalities. Uptown, University Park, Richardson, Carrollton and Highland Park are some of the most popular, but they're just a few of many.
John Neely Bryan founded Dallas in 1841 as a trading post near the Trinity River. Today, Dallas apartments for rent are in close proximity to the city's range of functional and historic districts ranging from the City Center and the Government and Convention Center to the Farmers Market, Reunion, Main Street and the West End Historic districts. Apartments in Dallas have a lot to offer, and people here can enjoy everything from signature Tex-Mex cuisine to the Dallas Zoo, Museum of National History and the wildly popular Dallas Cowboys and Mavericks professional sports teams. For those seeking something more traditionally Texas, Dallas hosts the State Fair of Texas, Viva Dallas, Pioneer Harvest and annual Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo each year.
When you live in Dallas apartments for rent, basic necessities won't make you go bankrupt. According to the Fourth Quarter 2012 C2ER Cost of Living Index, Dallas received a 96.2, which makes it more affordable than 16 of the top 20 most populous metropolitan areas in the United States. Area Vibes' cost of living information shows that the average price for a gallon of gas in Dallas is $3.63. Residents living in Dallas apartments can also expect to pay $1.59 for a dozen eggs, $1.40 for a loaf of bread and $2.07 for a gallon of milk.
Dallas is a hub for high-tech companies and has earned the nickname of "Silicon Prairie" because of the approximately 6,000 businesses sitting just north of the city in the Telecom Corridor. For residents who are not as technologically savvy, Dallas also offers many service and retail jobs, as the city's shopping strips and convention centers bring in travelers from all over the world and promote a very healthy tourism industry.
Dallas is also a great place to earn a higher education degree. Thousands of students live in Dallas apartments while they attend classes at the Art Institute of Dallas, Southern Methodist University, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and other local colleges. According to Area Vibes, Dallas earned a livability score of 79 and has been deemed an "Extremely Livable" city.

Product Details
Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images? |
I count myself fortunate to have been seated in the pavilion of the Pine Knob Music Theatre in Clarkston, Michigan in June, 1976 when the Stills-Young Band kicked off their tour, even if the sound turned out to be rather muddled and the two stars weren't frequently on stage together. While most of the setlist was dedicated to past hits, the evening did produce three of the finer selections from this CD: Still's staple from this tour, 'Make Love To You'; a song Neil first began performing with Crazy Horse while on tour in Japan earlier in the same year, 'Let It Shine'; and the title song, 'Long May You Run', which Neil first began performing in 1974. Only two other songs from the album, Neil's 'Midnight On the Bay' and 'Ocean Girl' would be offered on the truncated (17 concert) tour.
This collection boasts one classic tune, the title track, which rivals any of Young's best compositions.

Irrelevant as it may be, when I read this in Avweb.com this morning I was reminded of comments made in another thread about how safety issues are delt with in the respective industries.
The light bulb only cost 77 cents, but without it, a "No Smoking, Fasten Seat Belt" sign on a Comair flight was dark, and it stayed out for four flights. What ensued, according to a report in Friday's USA Today, was a four-year investigation, an inch-thick report, and a proposed $44,000 fine. (It's possible the proposed fine would not recover the dollars spent through four years of investigation.) "It's not simply the fact the light was out, but the follow-up actions required were not taken," FAA spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen told reporters. Nonetheless, the case was settled after Comair replaced the bulb and agreed to pay the fine ... after it was reduced to $3,000
