[quote:xen:MV8xNjQ5OTI4XzI3MjU1MjEwXzUxMEEzRDNE] great advice 5* for you and the beautiful MOON! [/quote]
Original Message
I thought I would repost this as a new thread to share with you for the Fall Equinox.
It is possible using only a standard moon almanac, the planetary correspondences of the days of the week, a supply of basic color candles, and the time to do a focused intentional mediation to do beneficial white magick.
Internally, the basic practice is essentially the same as guided mediation. When you have something that you want to accomplish in life, or you wish to defeat a bad habit or draw a new energy towards you, find a quite place and sit either cross-legged or in a chair.
First, do a basic breathing and relaxation exercise. Close your eyes, breath deeply into the bottom of your lungs, expanding your stomach, through your nose and out through your mouth by allowing your lungs to empty from the gentle fall of your stomach. Picture a golden ball of energy moving from the base of your body up to the top of your body, everywhere it goes, your body is completely relaxed and cleansed of dis-ease (an expanded version of this is an excellent healing mediation). When it reaches your head, allow yourself a few moments to feel the relaxation in your body and to get in tune with what it's telling you everywhere.
Now, clear your mind as best you can for a few moments. If you wish, you can try to hold a single-point mediation at this point, but that's only for extra centering if you are capable and you feel it necessary. At this point, you want to start to picture the things that you need to do in life to get the desired result you want. Imagine in as vivid detail as you can all the aspects of the things you need to do to get what you Will and you see yourself accomplishing them with the necessary effort and poise, nothing is holding you back at the point of action and you are fully prepared in each moment to take course that will accomplish your objective. Notice the reaction of the people around you taking note of your poise and ability, and their willingness to of their own free will without coercion or force of any kind on your part provide you what you Will to see the end you desire.
Now, of course, what does this have to do with the moon and candles? Well, I started with the hard part, which is also the only really important part, because if you are still reading this, here is where you can get a bit of help from what magicians have known for thousands of years.
Using your own judgement, pick the best phase and house of the moon to do your mediation and also to take your first practical actions on your course to achieve that which you Will. You can also pick a time when the right phase and house of the moon fall on a day of the week which is beneficial to accomplish your aim, when these fall together in synchronization, especially on a Full or New Moon, these are the power days to do spell work. You can choose the color of your candles based on the color correspondence to the planet that rules the day of the week, or to the planet that rules the astrological sign, or both. You can also include white, gray, or blue candles for the moon, I like to do this especially with New Moon magick to give my friend some extra shine.
Pick your time or times, find a spot where you are not going to be bothered, setup your candles safely, light them, and then sit relax and start with the golden ball at your feet and work your way up to what you Will to occur in life.
When you start combining this stuff with Tarot cards, herbs, incense blends, stones, potions, and ceremonial magick, that's when stuff gets really interesting, but anything beyond what I have given REALLY needs a divination beforehand to be done safely. The small ritual I have provided here is really white magick, since you are enacting beneficial change upon yourself, there isn't too much chance of anything going wrong, provided you remember not to poison your mind with the desire to control others.
Happy spellwork.

Underage Icons: 6 Kids That Prove Age Is Just A Number
Remember the good old days when being a kid meant playing in the dirt and swinging on the swings — when your parents thought you were a prodigy when you rolled a ball of Playdough into something resembling a three-legged dog and you thought all things stylish were purchased at the Limited Too? Well, childhood it ain't what it used to be it seems like everyday there's a new pre-pubescent prodigy making us twenty-something adults look like complete slackers. Curious as to who was going to be stealing our jobs before they're legal, we did a little digging and unearthed a few youth quakers who seem bent on shaking things up.

Falcon Str8Men, Volume 2 FSD002
Falcon Str8Men, Volume 2 features seven hot, straight studs working their cocks for the camera in solo and group action! Join Brad, Dave, Lucas, Skyler, Paul, Nubuis, Jake and Georgio as they strip off their inhibitions along with their clothes and work their cocks for your entertainment.
Scene 1
Jake is back with us, this time ready to stick something up his ass. This red-blooded, strawberry blond is a real guy. He's big, he's buffed; there's absolutely nothing unmanly about him. Yet there's a twinkle in his eye as he confesses he's keen on playing with his ass. A few girlfriends have planted a few toys up his bunghole, but this is the first time he's gonna do it to himself. He grabs a string of latex balls which he stuffs up his hole. His face reddens with excitement as he strokes his prick and inserts another ball. Being the showman that he is, Jake turns around to show us his packed ass. He gingerly pulls out the spheres, his sphincter slowly stretching open to release each orb, then quickly snapping shut. He stuffs the balls back in and continues to play with his dick until he finally shoots gobs of goo.
Scene 2
Lucas is here "to masturbate and please the audience". Jerking off on camera is something he's done before. Lucky for him his girlfriend doesn't mind; she loves him and the pay is good. What gets him off is when he's seated in a chair and she straddles him backwards to ride his hot rod. Kinda doggie-style fucking but in a sedentary position – makes it easy for him to cum. Now down to the nitty gritty. This uncut big-dicked stud knows how to tease the camera. He starts by stripping off his shirt. Before he reveals any more, he slides his hand down inside the front of his jeans and fiddles with his gadget. He next shucks his pants and rubs his crotch again, then massages his thighs. Finally he strips off his white shorts, sits back and begins to seriously jerk off. It's a sensuous dance as he gets on his knees and exposes his hairy asshole, reaching back between his legs to slap and finger the hole. Then he sits down again and continues to pleasure himself. Just as he's about to shoot, h
Scene 3
Georgio is a Romanian hunk, raised in Hungary, now in America, and ready to make some money. He has a girlfriend from Germany who's now joined him and he digs wild sex. Positions don't matter to him; the wilder the better. 'Nuf said … and our olive-skinned European stud gets to the task at hand. He methodically undresses. The removal of each article of clothing is well thought out and executed; he even folds his pants. After he drops his briefs, he stands and poses, showing off his nicely muscled, completely shaved body. Quite an impressive mass of foreign intrigue! Georgio then sits down on the couch, his legs spread wide apart, one leg up, one leg down and begins to stroke his uncircumsized cock. He starts out slowly then accelerates, sliding his hand faster and faster up and down the shaft. Finally he lets go and the milky spooge seeps out of his dick head and spills over his hand, completely covering his fingers. He is spent. He leans back – having met all expectations and satisfie
Scene 4
Dave wasn't sure if he was gonna be here because his friend who talked him into doing this shoot and was scheduled to also perform, chickened out at the last moment. But Dave showed up and unlike his absent buddy, he is no quitter – he made up his mind to to this. It's not like he's never been naked in front of other people before?! Dave has a handsome angelic face crowned with a mass of dark curly hair. He is relatively smooth with a dark treasure trail tracking down his belly to a really nice dick. Like the biblical David, this noble prince ably plays on his harp, strumming his instrument with nimble fingers to a chorus of silent hallelujahs and heavy breathing. He is a fierce warrior in this performance and generously rewards his adoring audience with a smattering of his seed. Amen.
Scene 5
This is Nubuis' first solo jack-off on camera and he's pretty excited. Nubuis is a very sensual guy He massages himself slowly, first laying back on , then getting up, kneeling with his ass up in the air, then back down. Th way he plays and teases us with his thick, black beautiful cock...we just can't get enough.
Scene 6
This is Skylar's first trip to Chicago and this Milwaukee native is more than excited. Back home, he's a Service Station Attendant who once had sex with a customer while he was changing her oil – talk about full service! Anyway, he's here and ready to step on the gas to show us how he gets his motor running so he can bust a nut. There is a natural charm about Skylar that is intoxicating. He's a good-looking dude with perky nipples and a smooth, naturally-muscled body. He systematically works himself into a lather, slowly at first, then full steam ahead until he finally blows a gasket and spews his cum! Hot Damn!
Scene 7
Paul is one of the more popular models to populate the archives of Falcon Str8Men. We just can't enough of this charmer with the twinkling eyes and dimpled chin. This young stud is all business and intent on giving us what we want. He looks right into the camera and dares us to turn away, but we can't as he reaches deep into his calvins and jiggles the family jewels. Totally naked, he sits down and starts to masturbate, pulling his pud, stimulating, fondling, pleasuring himself like a madman. He slaps his cock, shows us his ass, and continues to jerk off until he finally shouts out "Oh fuck YES!" and shoots. It's real; it's messy; it's a wrap!
Scene 8
Like the dark silent type? Then Brad is your man. This swarthy romeo boasts a set of big balls and a firm grip on his cock which he squeezes, making it flushed and hard. His eyes are closed as he leans back, lost in ecstasy. There is a method to his madness as he takes us on his hedonistic journey, working himself over, stroking his manhood, playing with his hole. He gets into an accellerated rhythm, jerking off faster and faster until he finally reaches bliss, delight and peace … with copious smatterings of his mancream.

626: Newton and Leibniz
Newton and Leibniz |
Title text: YEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH! |
First and foremost Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz both invented calculus independent of each other, as the comic says, about 8 years apart. However, Newton disputed the fact that Leibniz invented calculus independent of him.
In calculus a derivative is the result of mathematical differentiation; the instantaneous change of one quantity relative to another; df(x)/dx. Another way to think of the derivative, is a plot of all the slopes of lines tangent to the original equation. However, the literary word derivative means to develop from something older.
So, the pun is that Newton in the comic is claiming that Leibniz's derivative (meaning: the invention of calculus) is a derivative (meaning: developed from) his derivative (meaning: calculus).
The comic as a whole is mocking the pattern of corny one-liners that David Caruso often spurts out during the opening scenes of CSI: Miami. The one liner is followed by him dramatically pulling off his sunglasses and then the show breaks into the title sequence which starts with the word "YEEEEAAAAAAAH." This has become a popular Internet meme and was used frequently most recently with Michael Jackson's death.
- Newton, 1666
- [A guy with long white hair holds up a sheet of paper.]
- Newton: I've invented calculus!
- Leibniz, 1674
- [A man with long black hair holds up a sheet of paper.]
- Leibniz: I've invented calculus!
- Newton: Really? Sounds a little bit...
- [Newton puts on a pair of sunglasses.]
- Newton: ...Derivative.

TOPEKA –The Kansas State Board of Education voted to seek about $450 million in budget increases for the 2014 fiscal year during its monthly meeting July 10 and 11 in Topeka.
Highlights of the July State Board of Education Meeting Kathy Toelkes, Director of Communications, 785-296-4876
TOPEKA –The Kansas State Board of Education voted to seek about $450 million in budget increases for the 2014 fiscal year during its monthly meeting July 10 and 11 in Topeka. The budget request approved by the Board prioritized increasing the base state aid per pupil to the amount specified in Kansas statute, funding special education at the level required to maintain federal funding, providing school districts with funds for professional development, mentoring for beginning teachers, and funding to support Agriculture in the Classroom, environmental education and Communities In Schools. The agreement on the budget request came following a discussion about the balance between Board members' responsibility to serve as advocates for education and the financial realities facing the state. While many Board members expressed a belief that the requirements of state law should be fully funded, there was also an acknowledgment that a request to do so would be easily dismissed given the significant increase – approximately $585 million - that would be required to provide funding at that level. With that in mind, Board members agreed to identify their top priorities to try to ensure that whatever funding was available to the state would first be directed in those areas. The Board's budget request includes funding for the base state aid per pupil at $4,492, as provided in law, and funding for special education at the amount required to maintain federal funding. In addition, the Board is requesting $1.45 million for mentoring and $8.5 million for professional development. Additional requests include $35,000 for Agriculture in the Classroom, $40,000 for the Kansas Association for Conservation and Environmental Education and $100,000 for Communities in Schools. The Board's budget request keeps all other budget items at the fiscal year 2013 level of funding. No Child Left Behind Waivers In other action, members approved a new model for providing technical assistance to identified Title I schools. In the current model, technical assistance is provided through the Kansas Learning Network (KLN), which is operated primarily through outside vendor Cross & Joftus. The new model would shift much of the administration of KLN to the Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE) and the education service centers in the state. Under the model approved by the Board, a position is created at KSDE for a school improvement coordinator, who will oversee the work of KLN. The education service centers will serve as network service providers, completing district needs assessments, assisting in developing and implementing district and school action plans and providing facilitators to districts. KSDE will continue to contract with Cross & Joftus to provide consultation, guidance, data and other resources to the process. Currently, technical assistance is provided to Title I schools identified as on improvement under the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) accountability plan. Should the state receive an NCLB waiver, technical assistance would still be required, however it would be directed to schools identified as priority or focus schools under the state's new accountability plan. Board members had expected to learn by their July meeting if the state's NCLB waiver request had been approved, however KSDE staff said it would be at least another week before any announcement about the state's waiver was made. Judi Miller, assistant director for Title Programs and Services at KSDE, told Board members that the storm that hit the Washington, D.C. area in early July affected the ability of the representatives at the U.S. Department of Education to meet on the state's waiver application as they had anticipated, resulting in a delay in making a determination. In addition to the state's request for flexibility from some NCLB requirements, a number of Kansas school districts are also seeking waivers related to the NCLB requirements around state assessments. State Board members approved the requests of the McPherson, Kansas City Kansas and Clifton-Clyde school districts to seek a waiver from the U.S. Department of Education that would allow the school districts to use the ACT Explore and the ACT college entrance exams in place of state assessments for grades in middle school and high school during the 2012-2013 school year. McPherson is seeking the waiver for the third consecutive year. The school district was originally granted a waiver for the 2010-2011 school year that allowed it to use the ACT Explore exam in place of state assessments for accountability purposes in grades 6-8, and the ACT exam in high school. For the 2011-2012 school year, the district was not allowed to use the ACT Explore in place of state assessments in grades 6 and 7, although the other aspects of the district's waiver request were granted. For the upcoming school year, the district is asking that its original waiver request be granted in full. The Kansas City Kansas and Clifton-Clyde school districts are asking to renew the waivers they were granted for the 2011-2012 school year. Those waivers allowed the districts to use the ACT Explore exam in place of state assessments at grade 8 and the ACT college entrance exam in high school. Kansas Common Core Standards and New Assessments In other business, the Board was updated on the transition to the Kansas Common Core Standards (KCCS) for English language arts and mathematics and the work of the SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium. Tom Foster, director of Career, Standards and Assessment Services at KSDE, shared information that was being made available to school districts to assist them in the transition to the KCCS and explained that the focus was on providing quality instruction. Foster said the shift that is being made with the KCCS is one that moves away from focusing on adequate yearly progress to focusing on ensuring students are college and career ready upon high school graduation. That requires a realization that teachers are not just preparing students for the next grade, but for success in life. Foster said the way the KCCS are set up allows teachers in the early grades to more easily see how their instruction fits in to the overall preparation of a college and career ready student. Foster walked the Board members through some of the shifts in instructional focus that are part of the KCCS in both English language arts and mathematics. The SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) is one of two consortia working to develop new, computerized assessments aligned to the Common Core Standards. Kansas is a governing state in SBAC. Foster explained that the items being developed by SBAC include formative and interim assessments, which are used throughout the year to help teachers improve instruction and gain feedback as to student progress, as well as a summative assessment taken at the end of the school year to gauge a student's ability to master the concepts and knowledge aligned to college and career readiness. In addition, the consortium is developing a digital library that will include such things as model curriculum units, educator training, professional development tools and teacher collaboration tools. The assessments being developed by SBAC will be computerized and will include multiple items types including multiple choice items, short answer items and performance tasks. In addition, the assessments will be adaptive, which means how the student progresses through the exam and the types and number of questions the student is presented on the exam will vary depending on the student's responses. Once a student has demonstrated a solid knowledge base in a given subject area or concept, he or she may not be presented with additional questions in that area, but will be directed to higher level questions. Foster said the work of the consortia is on track and is expected to produce an assessment that can be implemented in the 2014-2015 school year. Visiting Scholar Teaching License Board members also received information regarding the potential of extending the Visiting Scholar license from one year to two years. The license allows individuals who can demonstrate expertise in a given area based on work experience in the field to receive a one-year license to teach in that subject area. Pam Coleman, director for Teacher Education and Licensure at KSDE, said that while the extension would result in a small cost savings for the applicants and some savings in time for licensing staff, she was not certain it would be worthwhile to go through the process of changing the licensing regulation given that only three visiting scholar licenses were issued last year, out of a total 20,000 teaching licenses. Coleman also pointed out that the initial teaching license, which is granted to individuals who have completed all of the requirements for a teaching license, is only good for two years and the Board might want to be careful about granting the same privilege to individuals who are not required to have a degree in the subject area or any pedagogy training. Board member Ken Willard said he was looking for a way to address the need some businesses have expressed to place in classrooms individuals who can provide unique instruction that will prepare students for the jobs available in their industry. Several other Board members shared that concern, but indicated they did not believe the visiting scholar license was the best way to address that need. Coleman said work is underway on a means of qualifying individuals to provide career and technical education instruction in a manner described by Willard and that she was hopeful something could be brought to the Board for consideration later this year. Kansas Alliance for the Arts in Education In other action, Board members approved a resolution acknowledging the establishment of the Kansas Alliance for the Arts in Education and recognizing the organization for its efforts to maintain the arts in preK-12 education. The alliance was formed in January 2012 and adopted a mission to ensure the arts are an integral part of a quality preK-12 education as a means of promoting students' personal development and academic performance. The group has a focus on providing development opportunities for educators and teaching artists through workshops, symposiums and an annual conference. In addition, the organization seeks to work directly with district curriculum and fine arts coordinators to develop meaningful integration strategies for effective teacher training. Professional Standards Board and Professional Practices Commission Also in July, the Board appointed Mike Wilson to fill an unexpired term on the Professional Standards Board. Wilson, a middle school teacher, will serve a term that runs from July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2014. Board members also approved the recommendation of the Professional Practices Commission to accept the voluntary surrender of the teaching license of Emily S. Swingle. The next State Board of Education meeting is scheduled for Aug. 14 and 15 in Topeka.

Long before most Midwest cities rediscovered their warehouse districts, stores and cafes thrived in downtown Omaha's Old Market buildings. Now, the lively area seems to belong in a larger city. Even on weeknights, shops stay open late, catering to dinner crowds.
That transformation is typical of what's happening elsewhere in this Missouri River city (metro population: 837,925). Visitors will find that the 1931 Union Station now boasts a dazzlingly restored Art Deco lobby and the Smithsonian-affiliated Durham Museum. The long-neglected Missouri riverfront is flourishing, too, thanks largely to the $291 million Qwest Center Omaha.

Posted: Feb 19, 2013 1:27 PM by Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Microsoft is so confident it has the Internet's best email service that it is about to spend at least $30 million to send its message across the U.S.
The barrage begins Tuesday when Microsoft's twist on email, Outlook.com, escalates an assault on rival services from Google Inc., Yahoo Inc., AOL Inc. and a long list of Internet service providers.
As part of the process, all users of Microsoft's Hotmail and other email services operating under different domains such as MSN.com will be automatically converted to Outlook.com by the summer, if they don't voluntarily switch before then. All the old messages, contacts and settings in the old inboxes will be exported to Outlook.com. Users will also be able to keep their old addresses.
Email remains a key battleground, even at a time when more people are texting each other on phones.
People still regularly check their inboxes, albeit increasingly on their smartphones. The recurring email habit provides Internet companies a way to keep people coming back to websites. It gives people a reason to log in during their visits so it's easier for email providers to track their activities. Frequent visits and personal identification are two of the keys to selling ads, the main way most websites make money.
That's why Microsoft, Google and Yahoo have been retooling their email services in recent months.
After keeping Outlook.com in a "preview" phase since July 31, Microsoft Corp. is ready to accept all comers.
To welcome new users, Microsoft is financing what it believes to be the biggest marketing blitz in the history of email. Outlook.com will be featured in ads running on primetime TV, radio stations, websites, billboards and buses. Microsoft expects to spend somewhere between $30 million to $90 million on the Outlook campaign, which will run for at least three months.
The Outlook ads will overlap with an anti-Gmail marketing campaign that Microsoft launched earlier this month. The "Scroogled" attacks depict Gmail as a snoopy service that scans the contents of messages to deliver ads related to topics being discussed.
The Gmail ads are meant to be educational while the Outlook campaign is motivational, said Dharmesh Mehta, Outlook.com's senior director.
"We are trying to push people who have gotten lazy and comfortable with an email service that may not be all that great and help show them what email can really do for them," said Mehta.
By Microsoft's own admission, Hotmail had lost the competitive edge that once made it the world's largest email service. The lack of innovation left an opening for Google to exploit when it unveiled Gmail nearly nine years ago.
Gmail is now the industry leader, although estimates on its popularity vary.
Google says Gmail has more than 425 million accountholders, including those that only visit on smartphones and other mobile device. The latest data from research firm comScore, which doesn't include mobile traffic, shows Gmail with 306 million worldwide users through December, up 21 percent from the previous year. Yahoo's email ranked second with 293 million users, a 2 percent decrease from the previous year, followed by Hotmail at 267 million users, a 16 percent decline from the previous year.
Microsoft, which is based in Redmond, Wash., is counting on Outlook.com to catapult the company back to the top of the email heap. During the preview period, Outlook attracted 60 million accountholders, including about 20 million that defected from Gmail, according to Microsoft. Comscore listed Outlook with 38 million users through December.
The new features being introduced in Outlook include: the ability to send massive files, including hundreds of photos at a time, in a single email; address books that automatically update new contact information that connections post on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn; and about 60 percent fewer ads than Hotmail.
None of these features are revolutionary. Google already has been giving its users the option to switch to a new version of Gmail that also allows for larger files to be sent in a single email. And address books in Gmail already fetch new contact information posted on Google Plus, although it doesn't yet mine Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.
Google declined to comment on Outlook.com. The company, which is based in Mountain View, Calif., plans to convert all of its Gmail users to its redesigned format within the next few months.
Yahoo, which is based in Sunnyvale, Calif. revamped its email service late last year in an effort to provide a more consistent experience on personal computers and mobile devices.
Outlook.com is the latest in a series of major product leases from Microsoft, which has been struggling to regain the cachet that once made it the world's most valuable technology company.
Now, both Apple Inc. and Google are worth more because they have been growing far faster than Microsoft as their products win more fans. Apple's biggest gains have come from the iPhone and IPad, while Google has been benefiting from its dominance in Internet search and its widely used Android software for mobile devices.
Microsoft has been trying to catch up with a major makeover of its Windows operating system, new smartphone software and a tablet computer called Surface. Like Outlook.com, all those products have been backed by expensive marketing campaigns in recent months.

Product 322/443
Book Summary
Special Agent Rob Hunter lives to protect. After all, it's what unicorn shifters have done since God created virgins. When his best friend asks him to help his little sister recuperate after she's injured, Rob doesn't hesitate. He has fond memories of the sweet little tomboy who chased after them when they were kids.
But half-phoenix Kenna Monroe has grown up into a sexy, smart-mouthed vixen with a chip on her shoulder when it comes to relationships. As an ex-cop who now leads a crack team of commandos into pockets of paranormal resistance, she needs a champion even less than she needs her childhood crush reawakening all her old feelings.
So what's a traditional unicorn to do when the woman he's falling for isn't a virgin, doesn't need protection and is hotter in bed than any sane man can resist?
"Commander, we have a call in Birkdale County. Local police need assistance in pursuit of a theft suspect going into the Rogue district. The heli crew is standing by for your orders."
"Fine. Load 'em up, Tank. And don't think I didn't notice you ducking out on me earlier, you chicken."
His deep, rumbled laughter rolls out like an old steam locomotive. "I know what happens when you drink that fake stuff, Boss. I'm a lot smarter than the zombie you kicked the mold out of the last time we ran out of java."
"I have no idea what you're talking about. We follow regulations around here, remember?" The good stuff -- with real caffeine and real sugar -- is only available in certain questionable markets now. Some research group a few years ago said sugar and caffeine caused aggression, so the PTB outlawed it. Idiots.
I got hooked on the real thing when I was a street cop.
"Sure, Boss. By the way, your 'office supplies' will be delivered by courier tomorrow morning, so if you can make it through the day without killing anyone, we'll be doing well." My second's sense of humor is surpassed only by his penchant for playing practical jokes. Never mind that he's just a few inches shy of seven feet tall and as broad as a barn -- that man is nothing but a naughty little boy on steroids with a fondness for guns, girls, and fighting. Still, we work well together and we're friends.
I shoot a glare his direction as we run down the corridor to the 'vator that takes us to the helipad on the roof. "Have you forgotten who's in charge of this little circus?"
"Not for a second, Commander Monroe. Your chariot awaits." He gestures to the retired army-issue heli before us that's filled with my crew. I nod to the two other men of my team bristling with weapons, and take my seat, put on my headphones and hold on to the handle as we ascend, heading for the city.
The last time I was here, all hell broke loose. Okay, that happens all the time, especially when I'm around, but that's my job. It's what I do, and I'm good at it. When the shit hits the fan, they call my team in to clean it up. I'm Commander Kenna Monroe, and we're part of the Emergency Response Unit. In the old "techie" days before the Urban Shift, they used to call people like us out for natural disasters and the like. Now, those things are pushed to the back burner -- we have deadlier things to worry about than Mother Nature.
I used to be a cop, and a damned good one, too. Until I messed up and fell in love and in bed with my partner. I've learned a lot since then. I don't make my bed where I work, and I keep my feelings locked up. Sex is a release, nothing more.
Now I make my own rules, run my own team, and I get to kick ass and take names later. I even rescue people once in a while, though I'm usually sent after the kind of criminals the local cops either can't or won't contain. So long as I get them off the streets, my superiors don't really care whether I bring them in dead or alive. Dead is usually easier -- they don't talk back as much that way. Unless they're some sort of undead. But heroism runs in my genes, so I try to keep most of them breathing.
Unless they piss me off.
As the thumping of the rotors pound staccato hammers into my head, I pray for my "office supplies" to come a little early. Lord knows the caffeine would be welcome.
* * *
Might as well hang a flashing neon sign on my forehead reading "Rob Hunter -- Overprotective Unicorn for Hire." I'm a sucker for a hard luck story, so when my best friend and sometimes partner Griff Monroe called and said his little sister needed help, I came running. I'm a unicorn shifter, and helping maidens in distress is what I do.
My family has been in the protection business since virgins were invented. I'm sure you've probably heard all the jokes about unicorns and their horns. I'll admit I do like the ladies. But not when I'm on the job, and certainly not anyone I'm protecting. It's all in good fun, at least until I find that one special virgin to take as a mate. Sure it sounds sappy and romantic, but it happens to most unicorns eventually. It's in the job description, at least in my book.
Griff didn't give me much background on what happened with his sister, other than she'd been injured and needed someone to help out while she recovered. While I'm not normally the babysitting type, it's been a rough year. I've been living on adrenaline and caffeine more often than not, and the R&R I'll get while Griff's little sis recovers is more than welcome. I know he'd do it himself if he could. I have some time off I need to burn, anyway.
I work for the government, part of a not-so-secret agency called the Paranormal Action Committee. We make sure that paranormal rights are upheld. PAC has been in existence since the Urban Shift, when humans abandoned the crime-ridden cities for more rural areas, and paras came out of the closet and into the limelight. Rogues on both sides took over the cities, and we've been fighting to get them back ever since. That's why I have a job. I'm one of the good guys.
The automatic doors of the hospital entrance slide open before me, sucking the moist air inside the hospital like a frantic grasp for vitality. The scent of disinfectant quickly overshadows the stink of despair, but I can still sense it in the shadows, waiting to pounce. I push it to the back of my mind and look for Kenna's room number. Griff is supposed to meet me here and smooth the transition, since I haven't seen her for years.
Last time I saw Griff's sister was before he and I went into the army. She was in high school then. Stick-thin, shy, and kept to herself. I have to grin when I think of how much we used to harass her. She followed us everywhere when we were growing up. Kenna was a pretty good kid, but man, did she have a temper! She got a raw deal over not being able to shift, though she was easy to set off no matter what the reason. Half phoenix, half human, her shifter magic was more likely to sputter than spark.
While Griff and I weren't the only ones who teased her about it, we were probably the worst. He's half-human, too -- but the other half is gryphon. They have the same mom, but different dads.
I stride down the hallway, looking for room 212. The signs posted on the stark white walls point to the left and I skid to a stop when a nurse pushing a gurney blocks the hall in front of the elevator.
"Sorry." The nurse looks tired, overworked and annoyed. She shrugs, motioning toward the closed door of the elevator with a nod. "Damned elevator takes forever."
"It's okay. I'm not in a hurry. There's always time to talk with a beautiful woman." I wink and she fights back a smile as we pass the time waiting for the elevator to descend.
Griff's voice sounds from a room about halfway down the corridor. They're arguing, as usual. Some things never change. "You scared us, squirt. I had to call in a lot of markers to find out you were here."
"I'm fine, Griff."
"You're going to need someone with you, Kenna. At least until you get on your feet again. You know that, right?"
Their voices lower even further and the nurse smiles at me when the elevator chimes. I wait until she's safely inside before I continue. I don't want to be rude, after all.
Griff turns as I enter the room, his finger in front of his mouth. Great. Apparently he hasn't told her. He always did like to tweak her nose.
Kenna is sitting up in the hospital bed, a bandage over her eyes. For some reason, I still expect to see the skinny tomboy who had a schoolgirl crush on me. Damned if she hasn't grown up into a little hot-pocket of a Venus. She has the same short red hair, but that's where the resemblance to the waif I'd known ended. She's always been cute, but who'd have thought she'd turn out like this?

King of the Hill
If there were a Mount Rushmore for guitar players, Jorma Kaukonen's visage could rightly be chiseled into the side of the earth alongside the likes of Jimi Hendrix, B.B. King and Eric Clapton. A founding member of the legendary (and still-active) band Hot Tuna, as well as Jefferson Airplane — with whom he was elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame — Jorma is nothing short of a guitar god. This Saturday, he'll grace the stage at the Tupelo Music Hall in White River Junction.

Card works in Olympus e510Pros: Plenty of space for uncompressed images Cons: None Other Thoughts: I'm using this card in an Olympus e510. I haven't filled the card up as I usually only go a couple of days without unloading them onto my pc. But a card like this should easily last a heavy shooter a week or more. Did you find this review helpful? |
Problems with Corrupted ImagesPros: Generally speaking, I am very happy with SanDisk products. I've been using their CF cards for years. I have a couple of hundred of their CF cards and two of their new SSDs. I use the cards a professional photographer and, until this last order, they have been bullet proof. Cons: My order was for 89 cards (was going to buy an even 100, but they didn't have enough in stock). I received the 30MB/second cards, which is great. However, with pretty much every card I use from this shipment, I am seeing one or two images corrupted per use. Each card is formatted prior to re-use and has been used on up to four different camera models. I've had one card fail completely, with a loss of all images. Other Thoughts: Unfortunately, I am past the 30 day return window ... but I'm hoping NewEgg or SanDisk will step in and help me out. This was a big purchase and for so many failures to be occurring on so many different cameras, it seems there must be a problem with this group of cards. Did you find this review helpful? |
Awesome CARD! 25Mbs write!Pros: I Benchmarked (2 cards purchased here March 16th 2012) with CrystalDisk and OTTO Cons: NONE Other Thoughts: Note: I tested the Sandisk Extreme III 4G 30Mb/s* that I own and was shocked to see that its max write speed was only 9Mbs and the read speed was 27Mbs, so you should be getting a good picture of the value in the card selling here for $25 or less and a write speed that is faster than most 500x cards. Did you find this review helpful? |
Got exactly what I orderedPros: Just what I ordered Cons: None -- see below Other Thoughts: I ordered two of these for my son-in-law who does amateur photography, shooting mostly in raw format. I rarely can find CF memory on sale any more so I jumped at the chance when Newegg put these on sale for under $20 each. Was a little concerned when I read all the negative users reviews who said they ordered the SanDisk Ultra 8 GB cards but Newegg sent something else. So totally unlike Newegg, in my opinion. And I received exactly what I ordered -- I have bought many things over the years from Newegg and have always received exactly what I ordered and this experience was no different. Did you find this review helpful? |
Got what I orderedPros: Great card. I was nervous with some of the reviews stating that people didn't get what they ordered, but that wasn't my experience. I received the 30 MB/s card pictured and in a very short time. Cons: none Did you find this review helpful? |
Bait & Switch on 8 gb Sandisk Ultra CardPros: N/A Cons: I ordered the Sandisk Ultra 8gb card and they shipped me the 4gb card. I am not happy with this as it was not what I ordered and they are out of stock on the 8gb card. Rather than sending me the wrong item and having to go through the process of shipping the item back, Newegg should have told me upfront that they were out of stock and did not have the 8gb card. Other Thoughts: I have ordered some big ticket items from Newegg and always had excellent service, but this little episode will make me very cautious on future purchases as their quality control is slipping and they are playing the odds that people will not ship items back and keep the item shipped instead. This does not set well with me as honesty and integrity are far more important when doing business with a company on-line and this wreaks of dishonesty and deception. My advice to anyone is to call Newegg, ask them beforehand if they DO have an item listed as opposed to shipping a bogus replacement! 0 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
ReliablePros: SanDisk reliability. Works perfectly on my Nikon D700. I haven't missed a shot. Cons: None. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Bait and switchPros: I got to ship the item back. Cons: As another user posted, I did not get the item pictured. The drive that I received was 15mb/s. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
NOT as AdvertisedPros: None, price is even higher then same card on other sites. Cons: I should have listened to the other two post underneath this. I too was shipped an Ultra II 15/MBS card, not the 30/MBS as pictured. I knew this could have happened but i ordered anyway figuring it was a decent price even for the 15/MBS card and I was only going to use it as a back up card. If you order this Do NOT expect to recieve the 30/MBS card they show! Other Thoughts: I have ordered thousands of dollars worth of items from Newegg and this is the first problem i have ran into. 4 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
This is not what they ship you!Pros: None Cons: I do did not receive the Ultra 8GB 30MB/Sec CF card, instead I was shipped an Ultra II 15MB/Sec CF card. Same as the other customer the best they could do for me was an RMA. According o the UPC and model number, all Newegg has done is taken some of there old stock, placed a new UPC sticker for the Ultra ontop of the old Ultra II UPCs. It's a bait and switch. Other Thoughts: My guess is they have a bunch of the Ultra II's that they can't sell at profit and they are trying to to pass these off as Ultra's and hoping that their loyal customers won't notice. The Ultra II's are not longer even for sale. 5 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Lady Railsplitters Propelled To Victory With Second Half Surge
February 4, 2012
HARROGATE, TN -- Despite the Lady Railsplitters' mighty struggle offensively through the first half and beyond of Saturday's action, LMU put on a captivating performance in the final 15 minutes of play to comeback from a 19 point deficit and defeat Catawba College, 66-63. With the huge win over the top team in the conference, the Lady Railsplitters move to 5-7 in the South Atlantic Conference and 10-10 on the season.

Lauren Cochran's three-point play with just under ten remaining dropped the Catawba advantage to single digits.
By the five-minute mark, the Lady Railsplitters had completely erased the lead the Lady Indians had built as Ralissa Nelson's three-point bucket tied the game at 56-56. With 4:31 left to play, Nelson gave LMU the lead with a three-point play.
Catawba College regained the lead once more before MaRanda Boddie gave the Lady Railsplitters the lead for good with 2:46 remaining. Lincoln Memorial University built a four point lead that was cut to one by three free throws from Lauren Lewis with ten seconds to play.

Boulder ChopHouse & Tavern
Online Reservations
We chose the Boulder Chop House for the celebration spot for my husband's birthday. We dislike restaurants with lots of "energy", which usually means they are so noisy we can hardly converse. The Boulder Chop House has a pleasant ambience -- table lamps and tablecloths -- and is quiet enough that we can hear our table mates' conversation. (The bar area is understandably more noisy.) Also, the menu items are a mixture of fairly traditional fare (which we like) to some more creative items. The wait staff was great . . . very attentive and responsive. We have brought out of town guests here, and one guest was in rapture over the "best steak he'd had in his entire life!" We think the Boulder Chop House is Boulder's very best restaurant!
Wonderful experience. I called ahead for a booth as I planned on getting engaged. Everything from the food to the service was perfect! The staff was friendly yet professional, and our server Nick was great. Moments after dropping to one knee and asking the question (she answered yes!), an employee appeared with a complementary small bottle of champagne with two glasses. We then received some warm and genuine congratulations from several of the Chop House staff. We have told many of our friends about our excellent experience and we will certainly be back!
Glad we dined here...the service was great! The food was amazing! The wine was perfect. Dessert was delish! Definitely recommend this place!
Our server and his assistant were great, though there was some miscommunication. All was fixed without much fuss. Our primary server was training and will make a great, attentive addition to the restaurant. The seating process was painful, as 2 of our party arrived before us though we hadn't known this. When we checked in with the hostesses, they said they couldn't find my name, though they'd find us a table. It was after I'd explained the very special reason for the dinner (which I had described on my OpenTable reservation) that she recognized that I was the name reserved for the party she'd already sat.
We really enjoyed this place. We were a large party of 10 and we were seated in our own exclusive room. The wait staff took excellent care of us and catered to our every need.
I took my boyfriend to Boulder ChopHouse for his birthday dinner and he absolutely loved it. There was something on the menu for both of us, and we have very different tastes when it comes to food. The service was excellent and the food was expertly prepared.
One of our favorite restaurants in Boulder- the food is always great and the service outstanding. Order the crab cake appetizer-it's pure lump crab without all of the fillers-delicious! The steaks are always my favorite here but I ventured out and ordered the special for the night- halibut fillet. It was fresh and seasoned perfect.
We dine here pretty often and this time was as good or better than the usual "good". We had early reservations at 5:45 but knew we wanted to sit on the patio, sip some wine and enjoy a relaxing evening. Later we ordered dinner and the steaks were excellent, the dueling filet's were awesome.. Decent wine list, nothing to write home about but its easy to select a nice bottle that pair's well with the food.
We went to celebrate our second anniversary with some amazing food and we were not disappointed! Our waiter and wait staff were engaging, knowledgable, and on the ball, refilling waters before we could notice, taking plates away quickly. Our salads came out cool and fresh, with the optimal amount of dressing. We both had the prime rib and the last time I had prime rib that delicious was in Texas. The flavors were perfectly balanced, the horseradish had plenty of bite. And finding just enough space left over for dessert, we had the tiramisu which melted in the mouth and burst with chocolate and coffee liquor. A bit spendy, but for a special occasion, so worth it.
My sister was visiting from TX, and we wanted to get together with all my kids, their hunnies and the kids...We ended up with a group of 11 of us, and as we were also celebrating the 4 yr old's birthday, it was nice the restaurant was willing to accommodate our bringing in a cake to be served (albeit, they did charge a $3/per plate cut & serving fee, which I feel is somewhat excessive - it simply doesn't take that much effort to cut square pieces of cake and set them on a desert plate and serve them -- $1/plate would have been more in line, in my humble opinion.) Aside from that, tho, the evening was a smashing success. We had delicious and delectable food in more than ample quantities. Our server, Joey, was terrific as well.
Dining outside was a great and very enjoyable. This is a leisurely paced restaurant ... Great if you want to spend the whole evening dining. Lots of choice on the menus. Food delicious. Special occasion place.
Just a lovely rainy evening at Boulder ChopHouse! Excellent greeting...experienced service and wonderful drink and food selections!...HUGE portions! (come hungry!)...Lovely happy hour prices!...you will not be disappointed!
The place is great. Nice place to relax for dinner after strolling Pearl Street and driving the roads of Rocky Mountain National Park. The food is always good as is the service. When we come back to Boulder will come back to the Chop House again.
This place reminded me of a big-city steak house, which was awesome to be able to have that kind of experience in Boulder! Great place for a special evening out!
I am CU parent from out of state. We stumbled on the Chophouse during our first visit to Boulder and have eaten there several times since. We return for the consistenly good food and service. While generally out of the college student budget, the atmosphere is upbeat and appeals to the age group.
Right across the street from the St Julien, we enjoyed a wonderful happy hour on the patio with two delicious appetizers: sesame encrusted calamari and ahi tuna salad along with a specialty cocktail, the Ruby. Went back later in the evening for an exceptional dinner with an engaging waiter, Nick, who could write his name backwards and upside down with ease. Try it, it's not so easy!
Our visit to the Boulder Chop House could not have been better. I took my partner there for his 75th. He was reluctant but left saying it was the best birthday dinner he's ever had. WOW!
Pleased about all aspects of our experience. Would not hesitate to eat here. Special kudos for the ambience and sound level, the music was so enjoyable and at a level where we could converse without raising our voices. It was fine dining as it was intended to be!
Everything we ordered was divine; from crabcakes, Colorado trout, Sirloin tips, to filet and salads. Service by Chris was outstanding, we say "Ask for him!". We'll be back next month to savor it all again. A+
If you want a great steak dinner, this is a great place to go. Ambiance was quiet. Had wine with dinner which was also good, nice selection of wines.
We love to come to this restaurant when we visit our son at college. The steaks and fish are top quality, and you cannot beat the huge portions. Salads and desserts are wonderful too, especially the onion rings and chocolate torte with caramel gelato. The wait staff are very friendly and efficient, always checking on your needs. It is a true treat to eat at the Boulder Chop House. It is worth every penny!
This is a large restaurant, but well arranged and decorated so that it still feels cozy for a couple. Our server was nice and attentive. The food was delicious and priced well for the area and the quality. Nice classic feel to the decor. Seems like a good place to take a group as there is something for everyone on the menu. Portions are large enough we definitely didn't have room for dessert, but no so large that we took home leftovers. This was our third visit and we were impressed by the consistency of both the food quality and the service.
We love the chophouse for its laid back atmosphere and great food. Its so nice to be able to have a great meal and enjoy family time. From kids menu to crayons they made her feel welcome while mom and dad loved the great steak and seafood. Enjoyed our weekend stroll through pearl st walking mall w play areas and entertainment first to run off some energy then headed to chophouse right around the corner for great dinner and back to hotel via affordable $8 cab for swimming and relaxing!
I have been going to the ChopHouse for over 11 years and love this restaurant. I feel their bar area is one of the best in Boulder with a very classic and hospitable feel. Dining area is vibrant and the staff is very well trained and personable. Beer and wine list is fantastic and very reasonably priced. Steaks are fantastic, and the fish was perfectly cooked.
The salads and entrees were great. Two 8oz-filets and one 12oz-prime rib ordered without sauces were outstanding. Cooked to perfection with excellent taste--in my top 5 best for filet.. Sides were hot and delicious, salads great. The restaurant was packed at 6pm on a Saturday night, yet the service was very good. We sat in a walk-through area toward the back, between two rooms, and there was a continual flow of servers walking through, don't sit there if you want a romantic dining experience as the constant flow through this rather tight area can be annoying.
Love the location in downtown Boulder. Great ambience, great food and great service.
My husband and I chose this place due to its affiliation with Rock Bottom Brewery, and we were delighted at the similarities! Great beer, great wine and great steaks!! Prices were as expected for the quality of restaurant. Wait staff was friendly, knowledgeable and prompt. We highly recommend this little gem!
We have now visited the Boulder Chophouse 3 times. The first time during First Bite was excellent, the second very mediocre highlighted by our 3 requests to get a clean glass, and finally this last time it was Great. Our server Chris was perfect...attentive, very experienced and helpful, yet, not in your face. We now will be back again and hope this last time is more representative of our next visit.
Had a business meeting with an out of town guest. The table was relativity quiet, and the wait person did not hover while we talked.
Our Friday evening at the Chop House was close to perfect. The service, from host to the bar to our meal, was outstanding (even the other guests were great providing a seat for my girlfriend in a busy bar for pre-dinner beverages - I thought they were "prop" guests they were so nice). When we moved to our table, which was provide on-time per the reservation, they made sure we had a very nice table suitably away from a larger group. Our waiter was awesome and read us perfectly allowing us to enjoy our appetizer and take our time before placing our entree order. All the food was excellent - the NY strip was a perfect - I would have provided a 5 for food but I'm just not sure what a 5 rating is yet but this was close so I'll say a 4.9.
Great service and wonderful food. Great for special occasions. For parents coming to see college kids and wanting to give them a special treat this is a great place.
Excellent steak and fish dished (have tried two different ones). Great service, the waitress was very accomodating with requests regarding meal options (ie substituting or removing certain ingredients from dish). No complaints whatsoever
An excellent meal for First Bites fare. Generous servings, well prepared and good wine to match.
Ordering from the First Bite menu, we found the both the cheese plate and calamari appetizers delicious, and the steak was, as expected, perfectly cooked and tender. We tried both the sorbet and cake desert options - the cake was rich and filling and the sorbet was the perfect light touch for those who preferred a less robust offering. The price for the three course meal was less than $30 (without wine) and our birthday guest received a complimentary desert. A perfect venue for our special occasion!
Good food, excellent service and nice ambience in the middle of downtown Boulder
I liked the Boulder Chop House, but it didn't really stand out as anything more then a good steakhouse. The food was good, the service was good, the ambiance is good (although it can get pretty loud, and difficult to have a conversation,) there just wasn't anything really phenomenal about the experience. My steak was good, but the Diane sauce was a bit salty. I would say that this is as good as a Ruth Chris, The Keg, etc, but not as the level of Del Frisco.
Really excellent overall evening out. We enjoyed First Bite more than anticipated. The filet mignon was the way steak is supposed to be, no toughness or grisle, the calamari appetizer was unique and delicious, the chocolate cake was super sweet but really good. Overall an amazing meal for a special low price.
I enjoyed my dinner. The food was great. The attention of the staff was also great. I was brought a sorbet even though I had already a dessert, to celebrate my birthday! It was all delicious. Thank you.
Great steaks, wonderful wine, good dessert. Would eat here again in a heartbeat.
This is a second visit to this restaurant, Good food, good service and nice atmosphere.
We stopped by here on a Saturday afternoon for dinner. It was my boyfriends' birthday and we were headed to the game after. Server made sure that everything ran smoothly and that we were out of there in good time, without evn feeling rushed. Food was delicious, and it was exactly what we needed before cheering on the buffs in 25 degree weather :)
Steak was fabulous, great wine selection, staff was wonderful..an excellent restaurant!
We had a very memorable experience at the ChopHouse for our Thanksgiving meal. Excellent service and meal.
We took our family to Boulder ChopHouse for Thanksgiving dinner - some had the turkey and ham traditional meal and others a good steak, but everything from the appetizers to the desserts was great. We had a wonderful holiday meal and would do it again!
the steaks were great. the other foods were good, but not great.
We were down on a very cold Thursday evening, and while it was a lovely meal and evening, we were very cold. Takes away from the experience.
We had dinner for 12 for the Holiday party. Great service, from our server Devin, food was outstanding and loved the feel of the restaurant. Will be back again.
Great food, location and atmosphere - will do it again!
The Chop House has always been a favorite. Both NY strips were great. However, the Delmonico steak was extremely gristly and fatty. The vegetables were cold and not very tasty. We will return...for the NYs. Good wine list.
Having dined at standouts including Smith & Wollenski and Capitol Grill, I believe this restaurant is in the same league. Fantastic steaks and seafood - the porterhouse is extraordinary and the bar serves a generous pour. Loved it.
