Apple iPhone 6 set to land in September in two different sizes
Apple's competitors have raised their game with the recently unveiled HTC One M8, Samsung Galaxy S5 and Sony Xperia Z2 all being well-received . That's placed increasing pressure on the iPhone 5S and the upcoming iPhone 6, which is due to be unveiled by Apple later this year.
The Apple iPhone 6 will touchdown in September and will be available in a choice of either a 4.7 or 5.5-inch display, at least that's according to sources inside Apple's supply chain who spoke to the Japanese website Nikkei.
Their source also revealed that the screen resolution would be 'significantly higher' than that of the iPhone 5S (1136 x 640 pixels). That would put Apple's smartphone in line with the current crop of Android flagships which come with 1920*1080p (or full HD) displays.
Production of the displays for Apple's iPhone 6 are due to ramp up shortly at Sharp and Japan Display - who've apparently already been awarded contracts to produce the touch-screen displays alongside LG. While, the a TouchID sensor is also about to enter production.
The Apple iPhone 6 is set to revolutionise iPhone design in a similar way that iOS 7 did to Apple's iOS platform. We recently came up five things we want to be included in the iPhone 6 and you can check them out here.

Paranormal Claims in Peruvian Mass Media
Manuel A. Paz y Miño
Skeptical Briefs Volume 13.3, September 2003
One of the main goals of the Peruvian Center for Investigation of Paranormal Claims, Pseudo-Sciences, and Irrationality (or CIPSI-PERU, founded in 1998 by professionals and campus students) is observing paranormal claims made in the Peruvian mass media. As in other countries we have newspapers, TV, and radio shows that publish or broadcast uncritical information on paranormal claims. Let's examine the most important and interesting of them.
I. Newspapers and Periodicals
Daily Extra is the dean of the pro-paranormal press, publishing sensationalist headlines and articles on local earthquake predictions, doomsday prophecies, UFOs, etc. Of course there are other similar but newer ones like El Popular.
The weekly esoteric periodical La Huaringa is one of the newest; its name is a reference to a northern Peruvian town known for its many shamans.
The bi-weekly Salud, dinero y amor (Health, Money and Love) was launched about nine years ago. It has columns on dreams, astrology, and other paranormal articles.
Peru News Review-a Peruvian monthly publication in Spanish printed in the USA-had a paranormal column, Lo conocido deconocido or The Unknown Known, which was published until the October 2002 issue. When CIPSI-PERU's letter criticizing their paranormal claims appeared, it was discontinued. That periodical has its own Web site: www.perunews.com, and a new freethought column authored by me.
The serious and respected Diario El Comercio, (Daily Commerce) had an esoterica page, appearing on Sundays until last year, but it was changed for a sexological one-and has a daily horoscope. Some pro-paranormal articles have appeared in El Comercio's Saturday's magazine Somos (We Are), such as reports on crystal healing power (April 28, 2001) and fortunetellers and political elections (May 26, 2001). Another issue reported both a believer's and skeptic's view on The X-Files in Peru and UFOs contacts (February 2, 2002). In El Comercio's Sunday's supplement, El Dominical, a note appeared on Nostradamus's quatrains predicting the September 11 tragedy (October 7, 2001), one false and the other one real; in addition to a piece on extraterrestrials and movies (October 6, 2002). Both Saturday's magazine and Sunday's supplement published CIPSI-Peru's letters where we refuted their paranormal claims and applauded presentation of a skeptical view. (Of course we have our own magazine Neo-Skepsis and books published through Peruvian Editions of Applied Philosophy.) El Comercio published a feature story about us on December 11, 2002, and two days later we appeared on America TV morning news to talk about Ouija boards. The electronic version of El Comercio is at www.elcomercioperu.com.pe.
Founded about four years ago, Diario Liberación (Daily Liberation) had as its first editor Mr. César Hildebrandt-one of the most important journalists in Peru-and also had an important role in the fight against disgraced President Alberto Fujimori's regime. But until October 2002, with a change of editors, Liberación had a paranormal section and a daily horoscope by astrologist Aghata Lys. The section was changed to an entertainment page but the horoscope remains.
Daily Peru 21 was launched last year and has published many of our letters critical of its paranormal news. Its Web page is at www.peru21.com.
II. Television Shows
Utilísima (Very Useful) was a daily morning talk show aimed at women (broadcast until recently by América TV) where tarot card reading was promoted during the 1990s. Ayer y Hoy (Yesterday and Today) is a Frecuencia Latina TV Sunday magazine that sometimes airs foreign reports of paranormal events such as supposed apparitions of the Virgin Mary, ghosts, faith healings, etc. They have shown Brazilian reports with skeptical and scientific explanations of, for example, a "strange" light near a hospital where a famous medium was, or the alleged image of Virgin Mary on a window, or a scientific investigation on the Shroud of Turin's age.
Daily El Comercio until last year featured their own tarot readers and fortunetellers, the "Arcanos," on its news channel, Canal N.
You can watch a paid short segment on miraculous healing of the Brazilian international church Pare de Sufrir (Stop Suffering) every day at about 11 p.m. on the two more important private channels, Panamericana TV and América TV. In its first minutes people give tearful testimony of their miraculous cures. Then a pastor with a Portuguese accent offers both "real" peace and healing while inviting the public to his churches, where they offer religious objects blessed in Israel like dirt, oil, crucifixes, etc. The Spanish Catholic priest Manuel Rodríguez is very popular because of his laying of hands during mass aired on his own religious channel and on Televisión Nacional del Peru (Peru's National TV) at the end of the programming schedule.
The number one Peruvian paranormal program until July 2002, Más allá (Beyond), was hosted by Ms. Josie Diez Canseco, an astrologist and tarot card reader. Monday through Friday she had many paranormal guests like Mr. Sixto Paz, the founder of the international UFO cult Rama Mission, and others including supposed psychics and paranormalists. She currently reads a weekly horoscope for Ayer y Hoy TV show and writes a daily zodiac for both a local newspaper (Peru 21) and a radio program.
Physician Javier Pérez Alvela has a Saturday morning program Bien de Salud (Good Health), a mixture of mysticism, medicine, and natural living, broadcast also through Red Global TV; years ago it was transmitted by Peru's National Television.
One of the most famous Peruvian medicine men, Adrián Vera (or El Tuno) had his own paranormal show briefly last year. Red Global TV transmitted it Saturdays at midnight.
In his weekday news and talk show aired by América TV, César Hildebrandt featured an investigation by reporter Ms. Mariella Patrieu. The story was about two Venezuelan tarot card reading sisters, Nelly and Norelia Pompa, known as "Las Mentes Gemelas" ("Twin Minds"). They were very famous and successful after living and working in Peru for years. The sisters used to claim that they are right 99 percent of the time. But the reporter made a list of their mistakes-for instance they failed when predicting that the Peruvian soccer team was going to have a better performance. They were also wrong to say that American Lori Berenson, who is still in jail for a terrorism conviction, would be released. Finally the sisters missed when they claimed that political fugitive Mr. Vladimiro Montesinos-accused of corruption-was hidden in a non Spanish-speaking country when in fact he was captured in Venezuela. After the report, Mr. Hildebrandt interviewed the sisters in a sympathetic way.
On the same show but on another occasion there was a slightly ironic report on the Peruvian UFO religion Alfa y Omega (Alpha and Omega) and its failed doomsday prophecies. The report also examined the telepathic communications between its Chilean founder Luis Antonio Soto Romero (said to be Jesus in his Second Coming, now in the Himalayas) and his Peruvian representative.
In 1992, when President Fujimori fled to Japan in the wake of a coup d'etat, a supposedly "miraculous" image of the Virgin began shedding tears. Hildebrandt, in a former show, produced the same effect in a similar icon proving it was artificially and chemically caused. His show was then canceled. Even some priests have shown that it is possible to produce "crying" and "bleeding" from portraits by applying certain chemical substances. Caretas (Masks), the most important Peruvian magazine, said that an owner of a house with a crying Virgin icon was a government employee who used the event to distract attention from the government's drastic economic policy.
Mr. Marco Aurelio Denegri, host of La Función de la Palabra (The Function of the Word) reviewed our magazine-Neo-Skepsis #3 on ESP and parapsychology-on one of his programs. He is a sexologist, Spanish language expert, and a freethinker. He said that researchers and intellectuals like Prof. Mario Bunge have a right to criticize paranormal phenomena but they shouldn't ignore "important" work like John Hasted's and Jole Eisenbud's parapsychological research. Mr. Denegri also defended Uri Geller, Ted Serios, and yogis. Although he received skeptical literature by Randi, Kurtz, Polidoro, and other skeptics, he went on attacking skepticism in a future episode.
Ms. Jeanet Barboza was a host of successful popular musical shows and later of talk shows. One of the latter, Noche a Noche (Night to Night)-now canceled-had an almost weekly debate segment, many times on paranormal topics like exorcism, ouija, haunted houses, shamanism, etc. Her present show, La alegría del mediodía (Joy at Noon) has a similar segment with guests like shamans, psychics, astrologists, religious and psychic healers as well as skeptics, psychologists, lawyers, magicians, and philosophers like myself. In one episode (April 1, 2002), I was pleased to give a skeptical view on telepathy and other paranormal claims like psychic surgery. A supposed psychic surgeon was invited to perform on a lady with an alleged tumor who later said she was better because of the "operation." Then after audience gave their opinions (for and against the surgeon), he was revealed to be professional illusionist Magician Khalid (Mr. Guillermo Carranza). He revealed the miracle as a fraud and a magic trick. He said, "you will not be cured although you may have less pain but finally you will lose your money." Other guests included Mr. Jonel Heredia, a psychic surgeon, and religious healer Rodríguez. Joy at Noon's production team contacted me before 2003's Holy Week in order to participate again. But eventually they stopped calling me-maybe because I am also a secular humanist!
CIPSI-PERU was initially contacted both by an America TV news morning show America Hoy at the end of 2001 to present our "predictions" for the new year and by Red Global TV's Beyond to talk about paranormal cases. In the end we were not invited on, probably because we explained our skeptical view to their production people. However we have participated in two college TV courses, and have been interviewed for other journalism courses.
III. Radio Shows
Entre amigos (Among Friends), aired by Peru's most important radio station, Radio Programas del Perú, has consulting segments with medical doctors, psychologists, lawyers, nutritionists, a Catholic priest, and even a tarot reader! The lady doing this psychic consulting is called "Amatista" and she offers also advice on traditional medicinal plants. Mr. Marco Antonio Talledo's radio promotions bill him as the "best parapsychologist" in Peru, and his radio shows are on the air three times per week in the mornings in Radio Libertad (Freedom Radio). This station has also a daily morning news program which specializes in social and political affairs, called El Reportero (The Reporter). Hosts of this show read daily horoscopes, like most other Peruvian radio stations.

Beyond the Scrapbook Photo Crafts - New ideas added!
Hello all you creative ladies!
I've been searching for inspiration for miscellanious photo crafts and memorobilia & keepsake crafts that goes beyond the scrapbook. I thought I'd get this thread started so we have a place to share all those great photo craft ideas since mom's always seem to have quite a surplus of photo's around... and we always love to show off our loved ones in fun creative ways.
So please post your photo's and photo craft ideas and/or links to instructions here, I'll be adding some of my favorite ideas I've found to get us started.
Happy crafting & scrapping!
Okay, I've been at it again... I found yet another idea too cute not to share! This cute little photo tote... instructions are found at:
What creative ways to show off your photos. I'm going to have to use some of those ideas for gifts and my for me.
~Baby Buds~,
dont forget the photo candles:
or the photo cube (from the martha stewart christmas ornaments):
Here's some more for ya, as if you didn't have enough! ; )
This one is a business card holder made from a cassette tape case. Cute for Dad's for Fathers Day coming up or for anyone's office!
This one I added previously but didn't have the link to instructions, I found the link...
Sorry, I don't have a link for this one either... it only shows 1 photo added but more photos could easily be added to this memory wreath.
Anyone have a link or instructions/pictures for how to make photo tiles or coasters?
This was my recent project inspired by the canvases seen on the 1st page. It was made as a gift for a dear sweet 9 year old girl who is surviving cancer and just finished her last chemo treatment & her parents are throwing a "life celebration". What a blessing to be able to have such a special reason to make this gift! (Unfortunately the photo does not depict the 3-D effect well. Even the photo of the girl was 3-D, I used 1 flat & cut her out of another & raised it on foam dots. Plus glitter was used to embellish other areas).
Thanks for all the great ideas! Now, to get on the ball and have some of the thousands of pics on my computer printed! :)
Can anyone tell me or let know where to find instructions to do the photo on the candle? Those are too perfect for Christmas!!
Hopefully keargo806 will share with us how she made her candle : ) ... until then here's a tutorial I found for Photo Candles, I thought the extra added embelishments were really cute!
This is the link where I found it:
This is the instructions on the tutorial:
Quote: "A fun candle alteration… all you need is a candle, tissue paper, plain ole copy paper ( your printer (optional) embellishments and your handy dandy heat gun (optional)
I made this candle a few years back to show myself some love. You can apply the same general ideas as a jumping off point for your own creations.
First if you want to use a photo on your candle it is important to print it on regular ole computer paper. I learned that the hard way and ended up with a discolored photo that wouldn't stick and a drippy candle.
Place the photo on the candle in the spot you want it. Gently heat with your heat gun. The wax will soak into the paper and it will stick!
For a soft transparent look to your photo try printing it on plain ole white tissue paper. You can print anything on it not just a picture… try clip art, fancy word art… you could even scan in some fancy rub-on's or chipboard shapes (granted you could just use actual rub-on's but then you wouldn't be able to reuse them )
Another fun idea is to get some decorative tissue paper and just adhere that to your candle and decorate around it!
Make a whole set!
One for each member of the family.
A candle celebrating each year of your relationship.
Wouldn't that make a beautiful display on your coffee table or mantle?"
Personally, I don't think I'd want to ever burn a candle that was so cute & I'm not sure how it would do flamability-wise once it gets down to the paper photo. (Who could ruin something so memorable?) I'm thinking of decorating a glass candle holder by decoupaging a photo & embelishments on it with Mod-Podge & decorating similar to the candle above but that way I can burn the candle & still have my craft-work last. Just another idea!
I found a tutorial for photo tiles/coasters, that was exactly the type I was looking for. Hope this helps some of you too!

My wife and I have a lot of student loans. We both spent a number of years at a private college, at times living on campus. My wife and I were both able to work full time in the summer, and part time during a portion of our schooling. Even with that hard work, however, student loans were inevitable. So here we are, almost 4 years after we left our college, and we still have a lot of student loans. I don't regret mine for a minute, mostly because without them I never would have met my wife. It was also an incredible time in my life, where I learned and grew a lot as a person. Sadly, I am not currently "using" the degree that I purchased through 4 years of schooling, but learning how to think critically, making connections and great friendships still seem worth it to me. For a lot of people, however, they regret a lot of their schooling, and especially the debt that they racked up while going to school. So if you're considering going to college for the first time, or going back to school, or even just a few online classes on the side, should you get student loans? Here's a couple of things to think through before you ask the government for a loan.
Why Are You Going to School?
If you can't answer decisively the purpose for your schooling, don't get loans. I'm not saying don't go to school, but if you don't have a specific end destination in mind, then don't get loans. I've met too many people who have gone through year after year of school, taking classes and paying a lot of tuition because they feel like they should be in school, not because they want to be. They have no end career in mind, and no plan for after they graduate. It's just the next phase in life for them, and going into debt just seems part of the "thing to do". Don't be that person who ends up regretting their college years. If you're wondering about a program, or want to go to college to be with some friends, or just want that college experience – great! Just pay for it with cash and not with some form of credit. Go to school part time if you have to, and work the rest. Or, just delay your schooling for a year and save up the cash for the tuition ahead of time. Not only will you be in a better financial position at the end of the school year, but because you worked so hard to earn the opportunity, you'll be far more likely to actually learn what they're teaching.
What Will Your Post-Schooling Income Be?
Becoming a doctor is a famous example of this. You go through about a decade of schooling before you become a doctor, so chances are really good that you'll be racking up the student loans along the way. However, once you're done that schooling, you'll be starting at a fairly decent salary that will help you pay off those student loans. So do some research on the job you'll be applying for once you have your certifications. For example, if you're currently working at Starbucks, and after your schooling you'll be an intermediate accountant, well, then you can consider getting some loans during the transition as it will eventually help your financial situation. If, however, after you completed your bachelor of arts in English, you're still going to be working at Starbucks, then perhaps make sure you have the cash to pay for your classes as otherwise you'll end up in an even worse financial position.
All of this is to say – consider long and hard before you sign any papers saying that you're willing to go into debt. Be so sure about that decision that you'll be willing to take on a huge burden in the future. There should be no shame in not knowing your finally goal or you final destination. Just don't sabotage your future because you are hoping that things will just fall into place. Instead, create for yourself a history of hard work and paying in cash for the things that you want – and that includes any schooling or training you may need or want.

Gold for county athletes at state track meetMay 17, 2013 By Randy Tucker, Staff Writer
Sterling Baker of Dubois won the Class 1-A boys discus, and Jesse Hawk won the 2-A pole vault for Wind River.
CASPER -- The Wyoming state track meet is well known for wind, heat, cold and rain, but not usually on the same day.
The annual event opened with near-perfect conditions but two strong fronts brought sheets of driving rain to Harry Geldien Stadium in Casper that postponed events twice on the opening day of the three-day meet.
Fremont County athletes from Class 1-A and 2-A performed exceptionally well in the early events. Dubois junior Sterling Baker has his best effort of the season in the discus, winning the Class 1-A event with a toss of 132-5. He also qualified for the fastest time in the 110-meter high hurdles.
Wind River's Jesse Hawk cleared 13-0 without a fault in the pole vault, then attempted 14-1 three times in an effort to break the long-standing Cougar school record. He is also seeded first in the Class 2-A 110-meter hurdle finals.
Wyoming Indian's Alvin Spoonhunter ran away from the field in the 3200-meter run. Spoonhunter continues his quest to win all three distance races, with the the 800 and 1600 still to come.
The Shoshoni 4x800-meter girls relay team broke it'd own state record with a 10:09, time but Lovell moved some girls around from regional competition a week ago and shattered the state record by 23 seconds in winning the event.
Wrangler sophomore Olivia Thompson placed second in the 3200-meter run to open the day Thursday.
Teammate Lawry Johnson was third in the boys 3200-meter run for Shoshoni and ran the opening leg of the school's third-place finish in the 4x800.
Jaxon Hedges paced Lander's opening-day effort with a sixth place in the long jump, and the Tigers' 4x800-meter relay placed seventh.
Ashtyn Leisy took fourth in the long jump with a personal best of 16-10.5 for Riverton.
The Wolverines' other opening day points came from sophomore Brandon Fullerton in the high jump. His 5-10 height placed eighth in Class 4-A.
The second rain delay was a big factor in the Class 1-A high jump. Anastasia Strong of Western Heritage Lutheran Academy in Riverton had the best qualifying height at 5-0, but as officials worked to dry off the saturated jumping surface Strong had to leave the event to run a qualifying heat of the 200-meter dash.
Just four minutes after finishing the trial she cleared 4-6 but couldn't clear the following marks and took third. She and teammate Dani Havercamp both qualified for the 200-meter finals.
St. Stephen's freshman Rachelle Lynch had a nice showing the 1-A shot put, taking fifth for the Eagles.

The Brooklyn label Olde English Spelling Bee springs back into life with underground veteran Alice Cohen's second full-length of 2012: Pink Keys is a collection of crystal visions, palimpsest vocals, and unreliable machinery.
Featured Tracks:
After a very quiet 2011, the curious Brooklyn label Olde English Spelling Bee is relaunching with Alice Cohen's second full-length of 2012. Since the 1970s, she's fronted numerous groups, some of which had brief flirtations with commercial success: Philadelphia funk outfit Fun City, new wave also-rans the Vels, or the Roadrunner-inked grunge act Die Monster Die. Cohen is almost certainly the only artist to have been on the same labels as Nickelback and Oneohtrix Point Never.
And yet, while Pink Keys sounds like a perfect fit within OESB's body of sci-fi synth pop, Cohen's considerable history doesn't form a part of any greater narrative for the label. It's simply a hooky, immersive, and occasionally goofy record of people sounding like computers and computers making imperfect sounds-- the chewy basslines, Linn drum machines, and marshmallow synth tones certainly qualify it as "retro," but it's hard to imagine a time when it could have sounded futuristic. "Dead Leaves in Milk Glass" takes its title as sonic inspiration, brittle acoustic guitars and a miniaturized synth run suggesting Nite Jewel's recent forays into merging coffee shop balladry with a kosmische fetish, but with stronger melodic presence. Elsewhere, Pink Keys situates itself in a middle class of 1980s electronic pop: Typically we hear bands recall the absurdly expensive studio creations of the time (Twin Shadow, Ice Choir) or go to the opposite end and embrace the crudest technology possible (the Soft Moon, Black Marble). The songs on Pink Keys are built with impressive machinery, but the kind that risk failure. On something like "La Fete Etrange", what could easily pass for pompous hair-metal licks get turned into blunt synth blurts, charming with minor malfunctions. There's a slight awkwardness to the purple funk of "Silent Movie" where the synths don't bounce quite right, but it nonetheless finds its own groove.
Pink Keys possesses not so much with a personality as it does a presence. Cohen stacks and refracts her nasal, youthful vocal lines, which tumble over each other and harmonize imperfectly. Beyond her contributions, the album is a community affair, enlisting the help of mixer Chris Moore, percussionist Thor Harris, and lo-fi R&B recluse Autre Ne Veut. As trivial as these connections might initially seem, Cohen stands to benefit from any sort of grounding. Pink Keys occasionally lapses into the kind of crystal visions that make perfect sense solely to the people who come up with them-- witness the hook during the cosmic honky-tonker "Mauve Mood": "Too much static on the astral phone in a mauve mood and a lilac zone." There is also a song called "Salamander's Tale", which at least has a title that gives you fair warning of what to expect from it. I think Cohen gets it, though. On "La Fete Etrange", she sings, "I'd like to walk around in your world, but I can't live it for you," and while it's just a little nonsensical, it's something of an M.O. for Pink Keys-- to create your own personal world, and acknowledge the risk that its rules might not make sense to everyone.

CDS Mardis Gras revenue jumpsFeb 29, 2012 By Martin Reed, Staff Writer
The decorative masks worn by many of the attendees could not hide their enjoyment Saturday at a Mardi Gras celebration that benefited Child Development Services of Fremont County.
Event coordinator Ricci Larsen, assisted by Cinde Pfisterer, led a live auction that saw an outpouring of support for the agency that helps children ages birth to 5.
"The money that we brought in so far, it looks like our first tally is around $67,000, and that is without expenses deducted yet," said agency executive director Lori Morrow on Monday.
"We are still getting donations coming in today," Morrow said. "We're thinking it will be around $60,000 when all is said and done."
The money raised at the event will help the agency as it pays for a new building in Riverton and a remodel project at its Lander facility.
"Just in terms of the fact the state coffers are not doing so well, it's so nice to see in the community they can rally around and support us to help offset some of those expenditures," Morrow said.
Morrow credited Larsen's work in organizing the soiree at the Fremont County Fairgrounds, which raised significantly more than the previous year's event.
In 2011, the debut event raised about $8,000 for Child Development Services of Fremont County.
"Last year we paid for a good share of the prizes," Morrow said, adding the event this year benefited from businesses and individuals donating all auction items.
"We were able to raise a lot more money that way," she said. "We had lots of people donating, lots of businesses donating items to us, small to big."
She credited the work of Larsen, her staff and the community's support to make the event a success. "We couldn't have done it without everybody," she said.
At the celebration, artist Jon Cox revealed his puzzle painting, which consisted of 24 pieces, each selling for $100. Each buyer painted the piece according to the design on the surface, and the finished product came together for the attendees to view Saturday.
Many party-goers wore elaborate masks as they wined and dined. Following the meal that was served by The Caterers, Nick & Slick provided the evening's musical soundtrack.
"We sold 320 tickets," Morrow said, compared to about 230 in 2011. "We sold out a week before the event, we sold out at 320. We had 12 corporate tables, which was great to have that many."
Many silent auction items were paintings created by the children attending Child Development Services.
"We didn't have any left over," Morrow said. "All of them went or were donated back to the center. Overall we just had great comments on everything that happened that evening."

The group of parents submitted a proposal in February and are asking that the board institute this fall a middle school level pilot version of the once controversial and now successful program at Ohlone Elementary School, which began as a three-year pilot program in fall 2008. Since then, about 132 students have enrolled each year, with about 22 students in two sections each of three combination-grade classes, according to district Communications Coordinator Tabitha Kappeler-Hurley.
Palo Alto parent Grace Mah, who also serves on the Santa Clara County Board of Education, said expanding the program would fill a gap for students between elementary and high school and would also be aligned with one of the board's focused goals: strengthening middle school programs, specifically in mathematics and world languages.
The proposal suggests modeling the extension after the district's middle school Spanish immersion program with a focus on social studies and literature content taught in Mandarin. Mah describes the program as "cost neutral" for the district, as instructional materials are already available (purchased through a Foreign Language Assistance Program grant in 2006), and parents could raise funds for supplemental materials or ongoing costs. The proposal suggests that Mandarin teachers at Gunn or Palo Alto high schools could serve as the program's teachers.
In advocating for language immersion in public middle school, Mah said that private after-school or weekend language programs can be less intensive or are inconsistent. Some are not accredited and they are insufficient in achieving full fluency.
Mah told the board that she recently surveyed 62 parents to gauge their interest in having a middle school program and, if so, whether it should be an after-school program or part of the regular school day.
Respondents indicated they would be willing to transport their children to JLS or Jordan middle schools for an after-school program.
Other parents spoke to the impact the Ohlone program has had on their children — with one parent verging on tears.
"It's really transformed our family," said Kathy Howe, whose son, Sam, is an incoming third-grader with two years in the Ohlone program. Howe said neither she nor her husband speaks Mandarin. "Because Sam learned Mandarin so early in his life, it's really a part of the fabric of who he is. It brings tears to my eyes," she said. "I'm an educator in the community and also a parent, and I would like all Palo Alto parents to have this opportunity that Sam has to have another language."
Erik Lassila, whose daughter just graduated from the Ohlone program and son is enrolled in it, said having his children learn Mandarin is key to preparing them for a global future, personally and professionally.
"Now we're kind of struggling with ... how does she continue her Chinese skills? We want her to have that gift through her lifetime," he said.
Both Palo Alto and Gunn high schools offer Mandarin classes, but the parents all pointed to the detriment a three-year gap can have on students learning a foreign language.
"You created something special and important for the district, and now is the opportunity to sustain that," parent Matthew Kohrman told the board. "There are kids whose intellectual skills in this language could disappear. ... This is an opportunity for the connective tissue to sustain that, to pursue it and build a program that will be known around California and nationwide as one that works and that creates human beings, world citizens that make the community proud and go on as adults to use those languages."
Board President Barb Mitchell and Superintendent Max McGee both said they would discuss the topic in the coming weeks and follow up with the parents.
"We talked yesterday about preparing students for careers that don't exist and how they need to be prepared not just for global competition but, frankly, global collaboration," said McGee, who spent last year as head of an international school with 20 Chinese and 20 American students.
"It is important to sustain it," he added. "All of you made good points. We'll take it under consideration and act quickly on it."

Why does this seem to happen so often, to so many artists?
Phillip Seymour Hoffman's death is a tragedy. Anyone who dies of an overdose is a tragedy. There are so many better ways to go through life than with drugs. Yeah it can be considered selfish of them and overall and certainly better decisions could have been made, but self destruction is always disappointing to see.
And yet, we see this happen so often. From Chris Farley to Heath Ledger to Michael Jackson to Amy Winehouse, the list goes on and on. We've lost so many talented people over the years. Part of me wonders if something more could be done, but a part of me honestly doesn't think more could.
We often focus on the positive aspects to being a celebrity. And to be fair, there are a lot of them. But there are also a lot of pressures that the limelight brings, ones that the average Jane or Joe won't experience. And they put themselves up to a certain kind of criticism that no one else has to deal with. That doesn't mean it's an excuse to commit actions like Phillip Seymour Hoffman, but it is something I think people should keep in mind when talking about all this. It's real easy to come down hard and judge for this kind of thing. But most of us will never really understand what it's like to deal with what they deal with. We can't put ourselves in their shoes.

The auditory brainstem test your doctor ordered is an objective test of the hearing nerve from the inner ear along the nerve pathway to the brain. It can be used to estimate hearing sensitivity and to help in the diagnosis of abnormalities along the nerve.
The audiologist will place electrodes on your forehead, behind your ears, and possibly, at the corner of one eye. Then inserts will be placed in your ear canals and you will hear several series of clicking sounds. These may stay at one level or get progressively softer. During the test, you will be encouraged to relax as much as possible with eyes closed. You may fall asleep. You do not need to respond during the test.
The electrodes measure the nerve activity that is generated every time a click is present. The computer measures your responses to several thousand of these clicks and creates a waveform that indicates responses of specific places along the auditory pathway. In this way, the health of the hearing nerve can be determined. If the test is being done to find a patient's hearing sensitivity, the clicks will become softer and softer until no waveforms are identified.
CHAMP stands for Cochlear Hydrops Analysis Masking Procedure. The CHAMP is a special version of the ABR. The preparation for the test is somewhat the same but the clicks are heard along with different types of masking noise. The test is very sensitive to the presence of cochlear hydrops, a feature of Meniere's disease. Your physician may order the CHAMP test if this condition is suspectedClick here for ABR Patient Instructions

The problem of overclassification — in which inappropriate restrictions are imposed on the disclosure of information in the name of national security — is at the root of many current disputes over access to government information, including controversies over leaks, FOIA litigation, prepublication review, and others areas of contention.
This has been true for many years, but there is still hardly any systematic method for confronting and correcting overclassification.
In a new article at ForeignPolicy.com, I take a critical look at the current policy landscape, including the newly enacted Reducing Over-classification Act and the pending Fundamental Classification Guidance Review. See "Telling Secrets," October 15.

Grant to boost transportation services for military in Wake
Posted November 9, 2011
Raleigh, N.C. — Wake County will receive a federal grant to enhance access to local, affordable transportation services for military families and spouses, and wounded warriors, U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said Wednesday.
Many military families live in areas where filling the gas tank for long commutes is expensive and public transportation is limited, LaHood said. Projects funded by the $34.6 million Veterans Transportation and Community Living Initiative will bridge the gap by enabling states and communities to build or expand so-called "one-click, one-call" centers that offer comprehensive information on local transportation options, as well as other community services, with a single phone call or website visit.
Wake County will use its $601,661 grant for a telephone system that will make a one-call center available around the clock.
"Every service member who returns home or a spouse who relocates to a new community deserves the best possible chance to earn a reliable paycheck and that means having access to reliable transportation choices," Peter Rogoff, administrator of the Federal Transit Administration, which manages the grants, said in a statement.

"The Canyons" has arrived at the Venice Film Festival -- but without Lindsay Lohan.
The actress was a no-show at the Italian festival, where she was expected to promote the erotic thriller.
Director Paul Schrader told reporters that he was "a free man," adding: "For the last 16 months I've been hostage, by own choosing, to a very talented but unpredictable actress."
Neither Schrader nor Lohan's publicist gave a reason for the last-minute cancellation.
In "The Canyons," Lohan plays the girlfriend of a Los Angeles movie producer (portrayed by adult movie actor James Deen), who together engage in erotic encounters with couples found on the Internet. The movie is being shown out of competition Friday. (Watch the trailer for the film here.)
Schrader said Lohan "stepped up very hard" for the role.
Lohan, 27, has been plagued by legal and substance abuse problems. She completed her latest court-ordered stay in rehab in July.
The 70th annual Venice Film Festival runs through Sept. 7.

I was merely suggesting GROCERY CART TRACKER for those that were not aware of it . The format is nice - you only get the prices of the items you want/need and an overview of the place where the most "best deals" are - saving time & gas.
tikicat, yes, that is the basic idea (grocery cart tracker) but that only seems to be grocery stores. we all know that the best prices on milk and oj are quite often at cvs...walgreen's...target. :)
I love it, lwillis!! I think that's our winner!
Suggested name for the staples thread - Just the Basics!
There are several Avent $1.50 coupons at http://www.couponnetwork.com/ these would be great the super doubles.
These are for pacifier packs, baby bottles and toddler cups.
"I bought some crockpot liners today in your honor."
LOL Flying! If you never used them before, you're gonna be hooked big time :) I'm gonna hook Faye up with some free ones soon and then she'll be stuck ;)
I would also suggest shredded & block cheese & bagged salad mix on the essential list.
I think the "essentials" thread is a fabulous idea! Each week I need milk, bananas, and cucumbers and I am always researching where the cheapest place is.
Faye -
The Thursday 'basic provisions' post sounds like a great idea! In addition to the other fantastic suggestions, I wouldn't mind seeing a listing for coffee, pet food, seasonal fruits & veggies, ice cream (don't judge, y'all LOL)
Good to see you back...I bought some crockpot liners today in your honor...and a big ole pork shoulder that's going in the crockpot in the morning!
Aldi -
Got the tri colored peppers, artisan lettuce, strawberries...all are nice quality, especially for this time of year!! Can't rule out I won't go back for more :)
It was like searching for a needle in a haystack - quite the adventure, but was able to still find some good deals - whisker lickins (4), muellers (6), UP2U (2), Trident (3), Protein bar (can't remember brand), Egglands, Reynolds crockpot liners, Rondele spreadable cheese, Sundown iron pills, Bayer Advanced, Aussie Conditioner, GG boxed veggies (3), cat litter, cat food, split chix breasts, and a big HONKIN' pork shoulder on M
The Grocery Cart Tracker from "5 on your Side" is helpful for pricing certain "staples" - it does 15 items many of them the everyday ones that have been mentioned - milk, OJ, bread, apples, lettuce, etc. and is current as of today .

In choosing which standardized test to take, students basically have two options: to take the SAT, which is most commonly chosen on the coasts, or its close competitor, the ACT, which is the more popular choice in the Midwest and South. Many students find that if they don't perform well on one test, they usually do better on the other.
The test was first developed in 1901 by Carl Brigham as a way to supposedly get rid of test bias between people of differing socio-economic backgrounds. However, since the 1970s the SAT has received large criticism for various reasons, primarily for creating race-based and socio-economic bias. African Americans and Latinos both score consistently lower on the SAT than do Caucasians. Additionally, in a Washington Post article released early last year, the president of Sarah Lawrence College, Dr. Michele Tolela Myers, in defense of the school's SAT-optional policy, claimed that the SAT "did much to bias admission in favor of those who could afford expensive coaching sessions."
Sarah Lawrence College, along with 280 of the 2,083 four-year colleges in the United States, and 24 of the top 100 U.S. liberal arts schools (as ranked by U.S. News and World Report), has joined the SAT Optional Movement, eliminating SAT scores as a requirement for admission. Bates College, one of the first schools to jump on board, has published a series of studies regarding the outcome of implementing the policy for more than two decades. The studies revealed a mere 0.1 percent difference in graduation rates between those who submitted SAT scores and those who did not, and non-submitting students averaged only .05 points lower on their collegiate GPA than did submitting students. The study, which proved SAT scores obviously predict less than previously supposed, prompted a movement of other liberal arts schools to follow suit in the early 2000s.
The test could very well be an irrelevant measure of future academic success. After all, the SAT does not reveal anything about a person, their ability to work hard, or their other gifts or talents; it merely evaluates a student's ability to take the SAT - a skill one can hone should they have the financial resources to afford a preparation class or personal tutor.
Extensive preparation for the test has become the norm, especially in affluent suburban communities like Danville and Alamo where most students can afford these options. Students feel inclined to take the SAT at least two or three times, and some spend months prepping. When SAT results come out, scores dictate the topic of conversation for several days - kids are distraught or excited about their scores, and everyone wants to know the score of the person next to him. Then, the mania dies down until the next month's scores are revealed, and the cycle repeats.
It seems SAT hype starts as early as middle school today. However, the hysteria surrounding the test only serves to distract kids from focusing on more fruitful endeavors like their passions, hobbies, and even school studies - efforts that will be regarded (perhaps even more heavily than the SAT) in the college admissions decision.
As former University of California president Richard Atkinson said in his 2001 speech to the American Council on Education, "overemphasis on the SAT is distorting educational priorities and practices ... and can have a devastating impact on the self-esteem and aspirations of young students." Atkinson's remarks were made in hopes of pushing an SAT-optional policy on the UC system, which in its entirety receives over 90,000 applications yearly.
Despite the movement to phase out the SAT, many feel that the test is a necessary, consistent and nationally recognized way to maintain high standards in the country's institutions of higher education, and most universities have no plans to eliminate the SAT requirement. Still, schools are gradually deemphasizing the importance of SAT scores, weighing other factors like GPA, essays and extracurricular activities more heavily in the admission decision.
It is important to recognize that in overemphasizing the importance of SAT scores, we are on the way to creating a dangerous society: one that places more value on supposed genetic intelligence than on personality, achievements, talents, creative endeavors, and personal success and happiness. As Florida State University admissions chief John Barnhill said, and what we all must remember: "The SAT doesn't measure heart."

Italian FBO group Sky Services has broken a 40-year-old fuel monopoly at Milan Linate Airport. The independent company has faced protracted legal and bureaucratic battles to establish its right to handle business aircraft at Italian airports and has now defeated attempts by Milan airport authority ATA to prevent its selling fuel directly to business aircraft. Since the end of January, Sky Services has been able to sell fuel directly to its clients on the ramp.
Sky Services managing director Clemente de Rosa told AIN that it took him two years to win the right to sell fuel, despite the fact that European competition laws guarantee this. He said that even as his company started to serve customers with ExxonMobil fuel, ATA refueling trucks tried to physically intercept his crew on the ramp and offered free jet-A to aircraft operators.
Sky Services is now pushing for access to a new aircraft parking area at Naples Capodichino Airport. The area should be ready by next summer.

It's March Madness Alaska-style this week, as teams from around Southeast gather in Juneau for the 66th annual Gold Medal Basketball Tournament.
The event, organized by the Juneau Lions Club, has achieved legendary status in many of the small village communities that dot the panhandle.
KTOO's Casey Kelly caught up with players and fans from Angoon as they made their way to the tournament on Saturday.
For many teams a trip to Gold Medal starts here, aboard the state ferry LeConte or one of the other boats that make up the Alaska Marine Highway's Southeast fleet.
"The blue canoe? It's very important that we have the blue canoe," says 36-year-old William Jay Booth III, who plays on Angoon's C team – for players between the ages of 32 and 42. He grew up in Metlakatla, in what he calls a "ball family."
"My whole family, all my brothers, are all ball players," Booth says. "High school ball, a couple of them went to college for a little while. But eventually they moved home and did some fishing. They do still participate in a lot of tournaments, and the biggest one for them is Gold Medal."
Booth says Angoon's C team has been practicing since last year's tournament, putting in extra work since January. The team is extra motivated this year, after playing just three games before getting knocked out of the 2011 Gold Medal. In a tournament where positions aren't exactly defined for most players, Booth is looking to contribute with defense and hustle.
"I like the defense. I like to rebound. I like to get inside and bump elbows. That's where I like to be at," he says.
Angoon's B squad – for players under age of 32 – is coming off two consecutive Gold Medal championships in their bracket. Twenty-one-year-old John Croasmun says the B team just hopes to avoid a letdown.
"Yeah, I mean, I don't want to lose, I want to win," he says.
Croasmun says the Gold Medal tournament is all about bragging rights in Southeast Alaska.
"Growing up in Angoon, we played against Hoonah, Kake, Yakutat and all those villages," he says. "You know, they all come together, and I know a lot of the guys and I'm pretty cool with most of them. You just get to see them again and say 'Hi,' and play against them. It's like reliving high school."
For Booth, it goes beyond bragging rights when he plays against his brothers on Metlakatla's team. He says they always try to recruit him to play for their squad, but he switched allegiances when he moved to Angoon six years ago.
"I got to represent my community that I live in," Booth says. "And I want my kids to see me running around with the Angoon jersey. But they know Metlakatla's right there."
Booth's wife, Reanna Kookesh-Booth, is the daughter of State Senator Albert Kookesh – a Gold Medal Hall of Famer. She says the annual pilgrimage to the tournament sparks a lot of memories.
"It's been a big part of my family's life for as long as I can remember," Kookesh-Booth says. "My dad played for many, many years, and as a child and growing up all through high school, every year we always went to Gold Medal."
Kookesh-Booth says the atmosphere is the same no matter which teams are playing.
"There's a lot of village chanting, you know, you hear a lot of 'Hoonah!' And a lot of 'Angoon!' Or 'Haines!' Everyone's pretty much rooting for their village."
The tournament lasts through Saturday at the Juneau Douglas High School gymnasium. Besides the B and C brackets, there's also a Master's Bracket for older players. This year's Gold Medal is dedicated to the Reverend Dr. Walter Soboleff, who never missed a tournament before passing away last year at the age of 102.

"After enactment of House Bill 87, a law designed to drive illegal immigrants out of Georgia, state officials appear shocked to discover that HB 87 is, well, driving a lot of illegal immigrants out of Georgia…The resulting manpower shortage has forced state farmers to leave millions of dollars' worth of blueberries, onions and other crops unharvested and rotting in the fields. It has also put state officials into something of a panic at the damage they've done to Georgia's largest industry."
As the AJC's Jay Bookman puts it, "it might almost be funny if it wasn't so sad." In Georgia, indulging in xenophobia has backfired mightily for Nathan Deal, the state's Republican governor, who is now desperately trying to get probationers to fill the agricultural labor gap his draconian anti-immigrant bill has created.
"The pain this is causing is real. People are going to lose their crops, and in some cases their farms. The small-town businesses that supply those farms with goods and services are going to suffer as well. For economically embattled rural Georgia, this could be a major blow." And sadly, when it comes to deep, self-inflicted, and totally unnecessary economic wounds wrought by Republican idiocy, the Peach State here is just the canary in the coalmine.

The Oakland Athletics have taken control of the AL West in part because of the Texas Rangers' struggles on their longest homestand of the season.
The A's will try to add to those woes while padding their advantage in a four-game series that begins Monday night.
Oakland trailed by one game in the division after Texas won the opener of an 11-game homestand last Monday. The Rangers (38-31) haven't recorded a victory since, and the A's (42-29) have moved three games ahead.
Texas has been outscored 34-8 in its first six-game losing streak since April 15-21, 2010, and its longest at home since a seven-game skid July 20-Aug. 3, 2005. The Rangers didn't get on the scoreboard until the ninth inning in Sunday's 7-2 loss to Toronto.
Nelson Cruz is 4 for 18 during the skid and Elvis Andrus is 3 for 20.
"We're not the first team to lose six in a row and we probably won't be the last," manager Ron Washington said. "We're tough enough to make it through this challenge."
Facing Dan Straily (4-2, 4.45 ERA) could provide another stern test for the Rangers, who haven't dropped seven in a row since April 18-24, 2008. The right-hander is 3-0 with a 2.20 ERA in his last five starts, with the A's winning each time. That stretch started by outdueling Texas' Yu Darvish in a 1-0 road win May 21.
He gave up two runs and three hits in 6 2-3 innings in a 5-2 victory over the New York Yankees on Wednesday. Straily was 1-2 with a 7.27 ERA in the five starts before his win streak and concluded that stretch with a 6-2 loss to Texas on May 15.
"He's on a roll," manager Bob Melvin told the team's official website. "We're giving him more and more rope to face tough at-bats in the game. He's pitching with a lot of confidence right now, and he's been terrific."
Oakland enters having won 22 of 29 but nearly suffered a three-game sweep to Seattle this weekend. The A's scored two runs over the first two games of the series and went scoreless in 13 straight innings before a 10-2 victory Sunday.
A matchup with a struggling Nick Tepesch (3-6, 4.30) might help Oakland keep rolling. The right-hander has given up 11 runs over 12 innings in his last two starts. He yielded five over five innings in a 5-2 loss to Cleveland on Wednesday.
Tepesch has also been given a combined six runs of support over his last five starts - not surprisingly - all losses for Texas.
"I think in Tepesch's case, run support has been his biggest enemies," Washington told the team's official website. "He gives up runs, but in his last four or five games, we haven't scored any for him."
This will be Tepesch's first start against Oakland.
"They're a good team," he said. "Any time you play a team within your division, it gives you a chance to gain a whole game and not worry about somebody else to beat them if we take care of business."
The A's and Rangers have split their first six games this season with Oakland winning two of three in Texas from May 20-22.
Oakland's Josh Donaldson, who hit his 10th homer Sunday, is 8 for 23 with three doubles against the Rangers this year.
Cruz is 3 for 20 with a homer and five RBIs in the season series with the A's.

" Cordless Phone, DECT, Single Line Operation, Caller ID, Speakerphone, Intercom, LCD Display "
This set of cordless landline phones is an excellent product. The first thing, being four of them means you can place them all around your home and they link up together. The signal strength and sound quality is excellent, there was an issue at first with the old style broadband filters which meant the line sometimes wen t a little crackly, but since new ones have come out the line seems crisp and clear once again. There are a couple of features included within the set which may be of use to some such as the answer phone, phonebook feature, and also intercom. These features are more added extras to make it seem a bit more attractive when in reality there is little use for them, the phone book feature is a tad silly due to the size of the screen so it would take forever to scroll through many numbers. The answer phone is ok I guess but most landlines now include a built in message service anyway, and finally the intercom is more of a novelty and unless you live in a mansion or are just incredibly lazy there is little need to contact other rooms of the house via the phone! There is a loudspeaker mode on each phone which works reasonably well with quite good quality, and also a number of different "ringtones" are available to set to what you please! Overall a good wireless phone set for the home!

Awakening the Blood

Book by: Bridget Shayde
Chapter 8 (v.1) - Kiss
Chapter Eight
For the next couple of days, I didn't see much of Durand. I wound up spending all of my time babysitting the amazingly mature Reule. Every now and then my so-called mate would nod at me to at least acknowledge the fact that I was still kicking, but aside from that Reule was the one that taught me to control my strength.
The little boy explained why Acrylic was a headless teddy bear, and I had to laugh at the pink flush that came across the boy's face when he told the story of a nightmare that made him cry to see Acrylic headless.
Reule was by far the sanest of the Radegond males that lived at this estate. He introduced me to Elliot and Delray who were shockingly average for twin teenage boys. Elliot was friendly and played soccer most of the time that he was awake and not drinking. Delray on the other hand was a bit more reclusive, spending more time playing the piano, painting, or sculpting from memory.
Both males seemed to accept me with open arms but kept their distance when Reule wasn't around. It must have been because Durand was a shadow on the wall when I was on my own. If the guy was good at anything it was stalking. Occasionally, I felt his presence when I was in the shower or on my way to meet up with Reule.
My instinct felt our separation and cried out for me to hunt him down, but the times that I did go looking for my sire he would always say he was busy or needed to go to a meeting in the mysteriously disappearing hallway beneath the stairs in the foyer.
The kitchen table was replaced… after an hour of scolding by the sexy vampiress that was always two steps behind Durand's ankles. That day she'd been wearing a silky black dress, creepily similar to the one that I'd shown up here in, and a suspicion slithered up my pant leg. It screamed that she was dying for Durand's attention.
Running my hands through my hair after soaking it in shampoo, I watched as the suds dripped down the ends of my red-brown hair and smiled at the accidental thought of Durand's hand going through my locks. Ashamed at myself, I blushed to no one's amusement.
My mind slipped down and down and down some more until it was completely in the gutter. I fantasized about the heated looks he'd give me in the hallways when he'd see me in tight shorts and a tank top, a nightgown before bed, a towel after a bath, or a short skirt on the one day I'd really, really wanted him to look at me. If only he could have just snagged a hold of my hand that day and traced us back to the bedroom. Then, we could share one of those drunken kisses we'd had in the club I was remembering.
Lost in my reverie, I didn't register movement until a large figure opened up the bathroom door, and Durand pulled the curtains away. Redder than blood, I attempted to cover myself at this random intrusion and barked, "What do you think you're doing?"
The man just shook his head and reached to pull my body against his half bare one. "I missed you," he breathed. His calloused hand ran from my dampened rib to my hip where he held my thrashing still.
Eyes wide, I could only stare when his mouth came down hot and needing against my own. The vampire's tongue dabbed against my mouth, and I gasped when he bit teasingly against the plumpness of my bottom lip. I'd accidentally allowed his tongue entry and had to suppress a groan when his perfect tongue taunted me.
My instinct thrummed hungrily against my brain, but it was no match for the questions in my head. Why was he doing this? What was he thinking? Why now? Why was he avoiding me to do this to me right now?
"You cannot understand how many years I've waited just for a taste of you," he grated against my mouth. Before I could do anything to protect myself, Durand whisked us away and into his bed.
After fighting for a grip, I finally planted both of my hands firmly against his chest. "Stop!" I cried out in fear. My legs smashed together with his hand between them, and I stared up at him with a look of betrayal atop my face.
The man shook his head again and looked at me. "Why are you scared? You are my mate." Durand went back to pinching the bridge of his nose as he did when he was confused or stressed.
Pulling a pillow over myself, I eased up to gawk at the male. "I'm only human, Durand. I don't understand what you mean!" I exclaimed and attempted to inch away but Durand's hand was a manacle against my thigh.
"Why don't you want me like I do you?" He pressed me beneath him. His strong hands fanned completely over my shoulders, and I stared up at him. He looked confused, completely lost.
I chewed on my lip. I wanted to help him. I wanted to wipe that look away from him and replace it with something else, anything else. Seeing him confused made my instinct desire him all the worse.
My instinct wanted him to bury his fangs into my neck and get me writhing against him. It wanted me to sink my claws into his naked hide and do nasty things with him.
Carefully, I reached up to him, to the hardened features of his face. Touching him was like touching a wild animal for the first time: thrilling, scary, and unforgettable. He leaned against the cradle of my palm but still looked confused, dazed.
"Durand," I breathed in wonder. He was amazing, something completely original. My heart leaped in my chest like it was trying to reach out to his heart. Nervous, I pulled him down, down, down, until his chest brushed my sensitized skin.
Gulping, I had no idea what I was doing when my instinct had me pressing him against my neck. His tongue licked and rubbed against my skin, but his hands still held me frozen against the blankets.
I'd never wanted to be touched as badly as I did now. My blood raced, and I could feel everything. The bed sheets felt like every fiber was caressing my bare skin. Durand's warm body felt like a pulsing heater against my chest. The hair on his body tapped at my skin. It made my insides melt. I could hear everything. His heavy and ragged breaths against my neck as he suckled and nipped at my body were like bells signaling his need for me. My own breaths must have been causing a part of that need because they were just as rough as his.
The vampire leaned his body down against me, and I felt a part of him prodding me. I bit my lip but allowed the touch. "Just a kiss for tonight, Durand," I pleaded. Although I felt his resistance, I heard his grunt and felt his nod. He would oblige.
Slowly, he pulled himself upwards and slipped his hands until they were on both sides of my head. Again he shook his head. The man growled, "So beautiful but only a kiss." His words were full of anguish, and my heart weakened, will too.
I felt the distance between us closing, and I let my instinct slip through my hold on it. Tingles ran all through my body at my nervousness. I'd never thought that the first time I really was to kiss this male would be when I was naked and in his bed.
His shadow bathed my body, and I impatiently leaned towards him. His strong jawline pressed against my chin, brushing skin. Finally, Durand's warm, soft lips met mine, and my entire body internally shivered.
The kiss started off gentle, but that went up in flames. As soon as I felt Durand writhing against me, I sunk my hands in his blonde hair and locked my legs around his waist. His tongue ravished my mouth. I couldn't get enough of his taste while I smashed him so close against me that there was no way that we looked to be two people. His grunts and moans made me shiver as our tongues twisted against each other. My heart hammered in my chest, and his responded with an even more intense strength.
Briefly, he pulled away, muttering something about control, but I forced him to return. He did so without much of a fight. His mouth grinned against mine at this single triumph on my control, but I bucked my hips against his waist to make him to cut that out.
The vampire groaned deeply at that, and I snickered when he rolled me on top of him. The sheets warped around us as we continued to roll all over the bed. Durand's fingers playfully skimmed down my body, but I ran my leg against his core unconsciously.
The male's hips rose, but he held his control. Durand broke the kiss once more, and I chased him until he moaned his surrender. "Damned tease," he growled, low and deep in his chest.
We kept twisting and twining, but finally, Durand traced away to slam his back against the wall. Desire made his lips part. I rose up on the bed to gape at his body. "I-I'll," he fumbled, "see you later tonight." With that, Durand traced away, and I wondered just to where when he was so… turned on.
Although my internal sensor was going off like wild, I was way too happy to pay it any attention. Ignoring the ache inside of me, I flipped the tornado woven sheets off me and dizzily walked to the huge closet that Durand had stocked with clothes he'd bought me and clothes he'd taken from my dorm.
A short black skirt and low cut blue blouse called out to me, and I strapped on some blue heels. I pirouetted in the mirror then snickered, "Durand Radegond, eat your heart out." Replying was his voice in my head, I'm sure that I will, lovely Naomi.
My lips were singing as I replayed Durand's mouth hot on my own. He had been writhing and squirming against me. He was desiring and needing me. No male had ever been like that with me before. Durand had been the first male to see me completely naked.
I languidly rubbed towards the heated spot below my belt. If he kissed me with that desire again, I think I could give it up to him. He could use that against me if I let him. Well, all that I had to do was keep him from doing that. Strategy. Strategy. Strategy.
Abruptly, I thought of Reule. The young boy was so much like my brother had been years ago. I wondered how he was, what he was doing, and who he had a crush on this year. My heart felt a surge of pain.
I needed to get out of here. Durand had said that some disposables took the blame for my murders, so I should have a free ride out of here. Now then, I needed to find out just where I was and what I would need to do to get out of here.
Reule had said that I was advancing, and I didn't break my clothes when I put them on anymore. I'm sure that I could take holding onto Mom, Dad, and Aspen.
