Ode to Grimhilde
Posted July 21, 2016on:
by Valerie Decrepito
based from Wolfkid's The Snow White Complex
(Poem named by my dear Aruhi <3)
This is how he lived—
losing himself in the fantasy
of rose-red lips
and ebony tresses—
I was now his living one—
A (pitch black) soul in the
Pretense of innocence.
Here she is.
He had written—
I was his perfect one,
The beautiful Lolita,
Daddy's little girl,
Perfect and pristine—
Skin as white as snow
And hair as black
As the raven that picked out
His eyes, giving him the
Inability to see
That I was never what
he had envisioned me to be.
I was the tainted apple
The sorry one in the lot
Rotten to the core
Just like a little slut
Fooled him with my smile
He was down on his knees.
Bambi eyes and pouty mouth
Were all it fucking took
To have his head down south.
But that—
That wasn't enough.
I was all sorts of crazy
Wanting to be his queen
Pushed him to terrifying heights
Until pushed me to the sea.
What in the world was I thinking?
I could never be for him
He could never be for me.
But the gods must have lost it
Indeed, a Queen I turned out to be
A mad joke on our version of reality
He was a mere commoner,
A pawn in this game,
Discarded any time the king wishes
Else he'd be put to shame.
The tears I bleed every night
Were actually jewels in disguise
Those tiny precious rocks
I own because of my tough luck—
I would gladly give them all up
Just to get all of him,
My diamond in the rough—
Unpolished and lacking,
Imperfect, his exterior may be
But perfect on his own—
With a heart of pure gold,
And will as hard as stone—
I, the Wicked Queen, decree
He sits beside my throne.
This is his story,
this is how he lived with me.
I was his Lolita, the Belle to his Beast
I was Rosaline, so pretty but not so chaste
I was the wicked one of them all
The bad apple he picked in his haste.
I was all of those but I didn't care—
He had me for just me—
That'll drive haters to despair,
Make them all question
Why is the world not so fair?
They had their time
And now we had ours
"Drop on all fours" you say,
"Let's make love this hour."
And I say yes—because
Whatever Daddy wants
Daddy always gets.
Kitty-cat with six lives left,
Really must have lost her pretty head
It's only five in the afternoon
Too early to be cavorting in bed
But the hazel-eyed lover
Had begged to differ, saying
"Nothing's ever too early,
Nothing's ever too late
I've jousted long enough,
It's about time to seal my fate."
The fight within us isn't over
But the fire will always remain,
Locked up in his tight embrace,
I laid my head down,
Saying my tender words to him,
So sweet and so true,
"Twiddle me tender, Color me blue.
There is no drug sweeter than this—
My beautiful hazel-eyed lover,
There is no drug—absolutely no drug—
Sweeter than you."
Idea was proposed to me by my dear, Aruhi aka GD's secret girlfriend XD and I liked it…so here goes…
All the nasty things I would do to you
By Valerie Decrepito
All the nasty things
I would do to you
Place your body
On the bed
With your arms
And your legs
Spread for my
Eyes to caress.
All the nasty things
I would do to you
Trail my fingers
On the sheen
Of sweat and
Ram them in
You like a
Cautious threat
All the nasty things
I would do to you
Dirty little kinks
Inside your Head
As I blow wonders
Onto your nest
All the nasty things
I would do to you
Fold your legs
Against your chest
And worship
All of you
Until you're spent.
All the nasty things
I would do to you
Whisper sultry words
Into your ears
As I kiss
Away your
Greatest fears.
All the nasty things
I would do to you
Taste the rosiness
That is your skin
And milk your
Entire being with
White-hot sin.
All the nasty things
I would do to you
Have you
Clutch my head
Onto your breast,
And have me
Fondle you
Until you're
An utter mess.
All the nasty things
I would do to you
Yank the straps
Of your onyx dress
Push your body
Against the desk
And have you
Bend over
As my special guest.
All the nasty things
I would do to you
Knead the area
Between your legs,
Flick the
Sensitive nub
Until you beg,
Prove to you that
I'm your best.
All these nasty things
I would do to you
Kneel before you
and grip your hips
Make you scream
With my skillful lips
Make you tingle
With fingers so deft
La petite mort—
To you, I bring
A little death.

Based on Wolfkid's Coffin in Asianfanfics
A vision,
That was what she was—
A lifeless beauty
Perfectly preserved
In the unbreakable glass-box.
Skin so fair, so pale in contrast
To the onyx tresses that
Rippled like waterfall down her back—
There was no woman
More beautiful than her.
He was quite sure of that.
In the entire world,
No woman can ever
Possess that delicate
Cupid's bow of her
Red lips—
Those red lips he thought
Had spoken to him
In his dreamless nocturnes.
He fell in so deep—
Caught with wanting to
Touch the untouchable
Even as she sleeps.
There was no stopping him—
A lover of the Arts he is,
Painting every nook,
And every crevice of that crystal cage
With five-pointed stars
Inked by the blood
Of a tainted snow-white.
He waited—
And there it was.
The shadow of
The voracious
Vampire Queen
Brought to life.
She was maleficent,
Magnificent as the
Jet black crown on
The top of her head
As she bore her eyes
Down at the hands
Of the very man
who resurrected her.
He breathed raggedly,
The sanguine fluid
In his veins
Pumping loudly as
Her sinuous figure
Slinked its way
towards him.
It was quick—
Her deep violets
Were his last memories
As he closed his eyes
When her teeth and fangs
Tore into his flesh
And sucked the life out of him.
Beauty and Power
Restored and Repossessed
The Vampire Queen
Trailed a finger
Across her pretty head.
"Mirror, mirror
On the wall
Why do I have
To kill them all?"
She sang crazily—
The cacophony of
Her hungry lackeys'
Shrieks and howls
All throughout,
Until they all became silent—
For a new but unwelcome
Voice joined them—
A soft cry of a living heart
From the drained body
Of her feast tonight.
He stubbornly refused to leave her—
The ethereal vision inside
His gran's glass-box.
What a fool,
She chided,
But a Vampire Queen
Needed her Underworld King
More than anything else.
Her fangs bared,
She bit onto her honeyed pulse
And a sudden rush of silver
Came rushing down her hands
Until it came pouring
Down his throat—
It was only a matter of time now—
And there it was.
A burning thirst
Had him screaming
Wide awake,
Its shrill noise
Scaring the crows
That have waited for them
Upon the window-sill.
His back arched
And his body slumped,
Repeated the process a
Few more times
Until he remembered
To open his eyes.
A vision—
'Tis what he saw.
The fairest of them all—
With the heart so impure
It could rival the dark night.
She's the fairest of them all—
His own personal snow-white.
"Hungry, are we,
Your Highness?"
He hears her say.
A feral smirk appears
As he nodded his assent
At the seductive Queen—
Offering him the column
Of her neck for his
Much needed feeding.
Armageddon, the New World Order,
As all her lackeys will say
"Why wait to feed on others tomorrow,
When he can feed on his Queen today?"

Why they call this
The city of Angels
I would never understand
Except for the nights
It held me close to this
Button of rationality
Through caresses and kisses
That brought me to my feet.
You were that cherubim—
Dancing with the flames
And capturing me, that fallen angel
Out of Poverty. But I didn't see it
Up until that day you ruined me.
It went straight to my head,
And into my weak lungs—
Funny how I refuse
To acknowledge the fact
That it hadn't gone there,
Not at all,
But at fragile piece in between
I treasured to keep safe.
You were the illusory dream
Someone like me never
Would've met had you
Not caught me in that white scarf
That led us to all this.
Our entangled limbs
And crashed lips
At war every night—I have
Never imagined someone being
So close like that to me before.
With someone like me
Tilting at windmills
And walking on eggshells
Every time I pass by through these
Massive halls of emptiness—
Someone like you
Showed up filling every crevice
And every nook, raising vodka
Glasses as a tribute to each of my
Fears only you could heal.
You weren't lying when you said
I was going wake up one day
Stripped bare as the day
My Ma gave me my first kiss.
You weren't lying when you said
I was going to be painfully crushed
Each night you hold me like that
In your arms—in that blanket
Of Security
I have come to depend on.
You made a joke out of me
And here I am
Letting you laugh
If it makes you that happy.
Even if it destroys me.
You win and I lose
In this game you forced me to play.
I never once admitted this
But for you, I will.
Now and forever.
You win.
You ruined me, you fool.
You completely and utterly ruined me
And yet…
For days and weeks and months
I have come to love you.
On Losing.

Because today is a sad day.
On Losing
by Valerie Joy Decrepito
We lose ourselves
In the abyss
Of impossible dreams and certain traumas.
Traumas that haunt
And scour the depths
That one would never
Want to delve into.
We lose precious time
Keeping up with
Things that are moving too fast
For any of our liking.
Such a shame, really.
To be putting all our minutes
To things we think
Well, tell you what.
"They actually don't."
We lose track
Of urgent needs that have to be fulfilled
And concentrate
In that one single entity
That doesn't even know we exist.
It's so sad, really.
The anxiety kills us,
Making it unbearably painful—
To see the world as it is.
Its beauty…
Forgotten in our minds
When we choose to lose
Every single thing
That isn't worth losing.
And of course,
It doesn't end here.
We lose focus,
Getting distracted by the
Of talking.
Of yelling.
Of crying.
We lose focus—
Getting distracted by
Businesses that are not even ours.
And when we lose focus,
We lose our muse—
The very reason
Why we keep on living…
The very reason
We keep writing
These lives
That we want intertwined with others.
Oh, how painful it is
To lose The Muse.
A pain as painful
As seeing a baby not being born
Is the most appropriate way
To describe the pain
Of losing the muse—
The inspiration.
The motivation to keep holding on
To whatever it is one wants to believe in.
Oh, how unfortunate it is
When we lose this muse…
We lose our minds
Which kept us sane and intact
When this tiny beating vessel inside our chest
Threatened to make us feel otherwise.
There is nothing more pitiful than this.
For when we lose our minds,
Our hearts become vulnerable
That we lose everything—
Like a wee tile of domino
Knocking down all the other ones.
Because one little move
Could potentially
Ruin all the other ones…
We lose everything in the process.
It is sad.
For when we lose everything….
We are left without any reason to hold on…
We are not left with anything to do…
Except for one.
When we lose
Our time
Our focus
Our mind
Our muse
Our everything,
There is nothing left to do…
But just lose.
That September Night

By valdec_ at 2:37am
Of November 24, 2015
Let me tell you about the chills
Your lips brought me
Under the strobe lights.
It felt like electric dreams
So wet it would shake
Even the whole of you.
On the dance floor
You made love with nothing
but your mouth– and your tongue
Tangled with mine as
We tasted each other
That September night
Right on that same Saturday
I got dumped by this other lad
I fancied myself in love with.
It felt like soaring,
These hips attached to yours
As if they are one
Made me feel as though I was Eve–
That Eve before she took a bite
From that forbidden fruit
That fell from the heavens
And rolled on the ground.
Was a foreign thing–
Your gentle fingers
Wound themselves
through my silken hair
And travelled through my back,
Now arching as you peppered
My skin with soft puckered lips.
I traced your face with my hands
Wondering where I happened
To find you in the middle
Of all the ruckus–bodies pumping
With adrenaline and music
Loud enough to blast
Through soundproof walls.
It was of sheer fate,
To have you bump shoulders
And lips (and probably a lot more)
With me that night–
Was out of pure loneliness
To have myself grab the lapels
Of your musk-scented shirt
As I drank the essence of you
In that one hell of a kiss
No stranger can ever give a woman.
Or perhaps it was because of alcohol.
That snarky little bitch
Which makes for the life of the party.
That night…it was exactly that.
You were my party and I was your life.
Oh how we enjoyed ourselves that night.
And even now, months later
I still think of you… wishing
That maybe I will run into you
Randomly, along the streets of suits and ties
Where you'd ask for my digits.
Properly, this time.
I still think of you sometimes.
Your mouth. Your tongue.
Your hands.
And the way your fingers
Interlaced with mine
As the clock chimed its farewell
Leaving the thought of You and I
On the dance floor
Under all the strobe lights
In the place only I know where to find…
In here…in my mind…
In memory.
Mad Love
Posted November 21, 2015on:
Mad Love by Valerie Joy Decrepito
Do you remember that time?
We met at a corner
And there you told me
Come with me for a ride.
And I did~
Down to the end of the street
Where you took advantage of me
And somehow,
I liked it.
Those feathery kisses that whisper
The promises
You never regretted to break.
But it was okay because
I fancied myself in love
With all of you.
With those bloodshot eyes
And jagged smile
With your closed ears
And threatening lies.
With everything
You have to give.
Your psychotic, sickening love
Drove me to madness.
But that Love, too,
Was alright.
(If that was all it took to be with you
In every single way.)
Your smudged black circles
That covered your eyes
So pure
I could see galaxies.
They never can see what truly is inside you.
But I can and I do.
Because I know you well enough
To thank you
For every painful joy
You have given me.
Perhaps they are all right
When they say
"You and I-
The worst
But the best
Will never have a good afterlife."
They are right when they say
Going down under
Was the path meant for us
But those didn't matter.
If I was to sit on the throne
Down under
Where you are the king.
Do you even remember our last time?
When you sent me
that tall flower in a vase
And told me to get well.
I just knew right then and there
You will return to me
In due time
And continue this
Sweet, mad, passionate love–
Because I am the only
Partner in crime
Who will unceasingly
Enjoy your low tides and high rides.

U-T columnist Nick Canepa passes along the following tale about longtime TV personality Beano Cook, who died Thursday.
Writes Canepa: "When he was publicist for the U of Pittsburgh, he received a call from a woman asking him to read her the (football) players roster in alphabetical order because she wanted to make love to all of them, This is just legend, but you have to believe it's true. 'Delighted to, maam, he replied. "'Cook, comma, Beano.'"
Added Canepa: "Fricking classic."

"Beezin"? Really? [VIDEO]
If you have checked your Facebook news feed today, you may have come across a story about teens using Burt's Bees lip balm to get high. Say what? It's called 'Beezin', apparently some ass-hats are putting the lip balm on their eyelids and getting quite a sensation. Burt's Bees lip balm contains peppermint oil and I would imagine it would be super irritating if it got in your eyes. As far as the getting high part, I find that hard to believe. Click here for the story from WGME.
Did you also know that Burt from Burt's Bees is a real guy? That's right, his name is Burt Shavitz and he lives in Dexter, Maine. Now, he's the subject of a new documentary called 'Burt's Buzz' coming out in June. Watching the trailer, you'll learn what an eccentric wonderful character Burt is and I can't wait to hear his response to the "Beezin' stories going around!

I love how the media is covering this up. Just imagine if a man was shot dead at a Tea Party? CNN and the commie-tards at MSNBC would be in a tizzy. The media is under control of the Marxist Elite already and that is why the news of this murder is being hidden.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The surprising loss of linebacker Jelani Jenkins to the NFL draft leaves an interesting situation for the Gators at the position in 2013.
Florida is going to have to piece together a starting unit from a group of players that's loaded with potential but doesn't have a lot of experience. The Gators might even end up starting a true freshman.
There is one certainty: Antonio Morrison is going to be one of the starters. The 6-foot-1, 218-pound sophomore-to-be is UF's most physical linebacker despite his size. He made several big plays in 2012, most notably causing Florida State QB E.J. Manuel to fumble early in the fourth quarter of the Gators' victory.
But does Morrison start at weakside linebacker, which is where he played as Jenkins' replacement when Jenkins was out with his finger, foot and hamstring injuries? Or can he beef up and play in the middle as a replacement for Jon Bostic, who graduates? He's a better fit at outside linebacker because he's athletic enough to cover tight ends and backs.
Does 6-foot, 226-pound redshirt junior Mike Taylor start in the middle? He's solid against the run but he's not very good in coverage and the Gators subbed him out for Morrison on obvious passing downs when he was in the game.
The Gators don't have a lot of options at inside linebacker. James Hearns (Tallahassee, Fla./Lincoln) is the only inside linebacker commitment the Gators have.
The other outside spot could go to a variety of players: redshirt junior Neiron Ball, senior Darrin Kitchens, redshirt freshman Jeremi Powell (whom the coaches have raved about on the scout team), and freshman Daniel McMillian, who is scheduled to enroll this week.
While the linebackers appear to be a talented group, there isn't much production. Taylor has 68 tackles and one sack in 25 career games, although that sack was a big one: It knocked Texas A&M out of field goal position just before halftime. Morrison has 34 tackles and a sack in 13 games, and Kitchens has 37 tackles in 35 games.
After that, there's very little experience. D.J. Durkin has established himself as a heck of a recruiter and a very good special-teams coordinator. Now he's going to have to piece together a unit that doesn't have a consistent playmaker.

text: I'm indeed evaluating partials, analyzing some of the interesting analog sine tone installations of the composer La Monte Young. S/N of most of the recordings is favorable, and the recordings are long, so I have good material to work with. I've achieved good enough frequency estimation using power of 2 length (sigh, should have done this before asking for help) with an fft, but I greatly appreciate the ideas charles and anne have raise as I analyze these further. I'm finding Anne's suggestion very interesting because padding is allowing me to analyze the nature of the analog oscillators in more depth; they certainly aren't perfect. Young's compositions are so dependent on minutia such as oscillator drift that it wouldn't surprise me if some aspects of the effects he evokes are dependent on e.g. the amplitude stability of an oscillator. Certainly frequency drift is something he utilizes. SNTLN is very interesting in its own right and I'm enjoying reading up on it. Thanks very much!

'Their line has done a good job of neutralizing the other team's best offensive threats recently, and for Gerbe it all starts with how hard they are willing to work on a nightly basis. The young forward believes that, "the biggest thing that we try to work on is how hard we work and how hard we compete [against] the other line. That's our main goal, that's, I think, what we do best." Buffalo has gone 6-3-2 since the All-Star break, and since January 24th the blue and gold are 7-3-2 overall.'

Introduction to Granite
GMT has been in the field of Metrology for the past 30 years
GMT METROLOGY DIVISION has been in the field of Metrology for the past 30 years, concentrating in design, development and manufacturing of all sort of metrological calibration items made of Granite ( Dolerite ). Before studying about GMT METROLOGY product and their features, we need to know what is meant by Metrology . On coming lines give you an idea about GMT METROLOGY and their contribution in this regards.
Lord Kelvin said, I often say that when you can measure what you are speaking about and express it in numbers, you know something about it. But when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meagre and unsatisfactory kind. It is clear from the words of Lord Kelvin that, how vital to engineers is the knowledge of the Science of Measurements (called Metrology).
All engineers, regardless of their branch of specialization, are constantly faced with the problem of measurement. It may be of time, mass, force, temperature, length, angle and so on. Almost invariably, the results of such measurements will determine the course of action the engineer takes there after. All such measurements form part of the science of Metrology.
The mechanical and production engineers are, however, especially concerned with the measurement of length, angle, surface, etc. Before World War-I, Metrology had been applied to engineering to a limited extent only. Since that time, however considerable progress has been made in the application of scientific principles to the dimensional control of engineering products. The accurate control of standards of measurements is essential function in every precision engineering production plant. Knowledge of Metrology and practice in its application is of utmost importance in industry today.

On Thursday, the U.S. Senate passed their comprehensive Immigration and Border Security bill, S. 744, by a vote of 68 to 32. Agricultural organizations were quick to praise the passage as a step toward a more stable and legal workforce. Immigration reform will however face a bumpier road in the House of Representatives.
"A strong year-round workforce is paramount to the success of the cattle industry, says NCBA President Scott George, a cattle and dairy producer from Cody, Wyo. "Cattlemen depend on a legal and stable workforce year round. We recognize that the first step in ensuring the success of our workforce is securing and maintaining our borders. The conversations taking place on the Hill right now are keeping these issues front and center and we truly appreciate those efforts."
Deborah Atwood, Executive Director of AGree, also praised the Senate's action. "Today's margin of victory sends the very strong message that solving this issue is of vital importance to the future of our nation. Every sector of our economy will benefit immensely from this legislation, but maybe none more profoundly than American agriculture, which is why all food and ag sectors are united in support. This legislation will mean a better future for millions of foreign-born agricultural workers and for farmers and ranchers struggling with serious labor shortages."
National Farmers Union President Roger Johnson had this to say. "I am very pleased by the Senate's action on immigration reform today. S. 744 includes important provisions that will bring greater stability to the farm workforce and provide a practical, legal means for immigrants to work in agriculture. It also allows for peace of mind for all parties in agriculture to know that a more easy-to-use and effective system will be enacted. I look forward to continuing to work with the House of Representatives to pass immigration legislation that achieves many of these same ends."
It seems unlikely, though, the House will pass similar legislation. The Senate's bill would create a path to citizenship for millions of immigrants and establish a new visa program for immigrant workers while increasing border security to prevent illegal immigration.
Quoted in a CNN article, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said the House is not going to adopt and vote on whatever the Senate passes, but will instead craft its own bill that reflects the will of the Republican majority. He has pledged to block a vote on any immigration legislation that does not have the support of a majority of House Republicans.

Sports Presenter Mayanti Langer on the Games
Sports anchor Mayanti Langer says she has attracted a new group of fans thanks to her Commonwealth Games coverage for Doordarshan. Even auto-wallas have been congratulating her this week. They were likely among the close to 30 million Indian viewers who watched the opening ceremony that Ms. Langer co-hosted for the state-run broadcaster.
As a presenter for ESPN's coverage of the FIFA World Cup, she got attention from a much smaller group of sports enthusiasts. Among the supposedly sophisticated soccer fans, though, there were a few creepy ones. More than three fake Mayanti Langer profiles popped up on Facebook during the Cup with regular posts from people purporting to be her.
"Every single person seems to be watching the Games and a lot of people, even the security guards, are asking me 'Aren't you the one?'" she told India Real Time. "The World Cup coverage went to a different sort of crowd."
Commentating between the many different events of the Commonwealth Games has been a challenge, says the 25 year old Delhi-ite. Where the World Cup had very specific break times to talk and lots of famous players and teams that Ms. Mayanti already knew well, during the Commonwealth Games she has had to think on her feet for quick comments as the coverage shifted between hockey, weightlifting, boxing, archery, tennis, badminton and other sports without warning.
What is broadcast live depends on how the events evolve and what the sometimes-stodgy Doordarshan decides is most exciting.
"So many things are going on simultaneously and suddenly you have to change," she said. "There is no time to sit and relay the facts and figures. The first couple days, I was out of my wits."
Ms. Langer's favorite events so far have been boxing and weightlifting because many of the Indian athletes in these sports are from the military. She grew up around military people as her father is in the Army.
Despite the string of bad stories about Delhi's readiness running up to the Games, the event has so far gone off without any major glitches, she said. The real tipping point in the nation's perception was the opening ceremony. "It has been a huge deal for India especially with everything that went wrong."
She hasn't been told yet whether she will be invited to host the coverage of the closing ceremony but in the meantime will continue studying the lesser known sports in the Games such as netball and lawn bowls.
"I wasn't familiar with lawn bowls so that has taken a while to understand," she said. "I don't think I would be able to play it though."

A Caldwell County man was indicted this week on rape charges from a 2012 case involving a Lincoln County teen, deputies said.
A grand jury returned a true bill of indictment Monday against Matthew Chad Beaver, 35, whose last known address was 2270 Perry Lane in Lenoir, according to the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies said Beaver was sexually involved on more than one occasion in March 2012 with a teen he knew.
The alleged incidents took place at the suspect's home, agency officials said.
Investigators learned about Beaver in February after the Department of Social Services contacted them with the case information, the Sheriff's Office said.
Detective Dan Renn further investigated the accusations, leading to Beaver's arrest in March.
The suspect was placed under an $80,000 secured bond and charged with two felony counts each of statutory rape of a 13-, 14-, or 15-year-old by a defendant six years older and statutory sex offense of a 13-, 14-, or 15-year-old by a defendant six years older.
A judge later doubled his bond to $160,000, but Beaver eventually secured release.
Beaver has drug-related convictions on his criminal record, according to the North Carolina Department of Correction website.
The offenses occurred in 1997 in Caldwell County.
Once again under an $80,000 secured bond, Beaver has been indicted on all charges in the case.

Description: This will be a Dresdenverse FATE game set in the fictional town of Willows, VA. It is located Western tip of the state, and currently houses 33,425 (Census 2000) residents. It is located in Russell County along the banks of the Clinch River. It was a mining/milling town, but unlike almost all heavy industrial areas of the country, it is still humming along. I'll let the rest of the details be filled in as we create the town.
Starting Refresh will be 8. I believe that gives you the ability to create a Wizard if you really want.
I'm looking for 4 players, and you need not be familiar with FATE to play. If you're not, I recommend downloading the free FATE 2e version available on their website, as it will give you an overview of how the system works. You should be familiar with the novels, at least so you understand the type of world that we'll be playing in.
In terms of world timeline, assume that the events of Turn Coat haven't happened yet.

KV Pharmaceutical
CEO Gets Hefty Raise, Despite All the Problems
For the past several months, KV Pharmaceutical has regularly signaled that its ability to continue as a going concern is jeopardized by its inability to sell sufficient quantities of its Makena medication for premature births. The little drugmaker has been battling with the FDA over a contentious decision by the agency not to pursue compounders unless there is a threat of harm to consumers that may be caused by one of these alternative treatments. Earlier this month, in fact, KV filed a lawsuit against the FDA for failing to prevent some compounding pharmacies from offering lower-cost versions of Makena, which was approved last year under the Orphan Drug Act. But shortly afterwards, both the drugmaker and the FDA came under fire after KV Pharma set pricing at $1,500, compared with $10 to $20 a week for compounded versions of a med that has been used for decades.

Boost radiotherapy effective for very early breast cancer
Radiotherapy of the whole breast followed by a boost could stop the very early stages of breast cancer from returning claim researchers from the international Rare Cancer Network in paper published online today by The Lancet Oncology. This strategy should therefore be considered in addition to surgery for patients with the breast-cancer precursor called ductal carcinoma in situ, or DCIS.
We had two main findings notes Guenther Gruber (Kantonsspital, Aarau, Switzerland), lead author of the study: "First, not using radiotherapy in young patients with DCIS resulted in an unacceptable number of women having their cancer return; and second, these patients benefit from an additional boost dose".
Boost radiotherapy, in which a "boost" of 10�16 Gy of radiotherapy is given in addition to the normal radiotherapy treatment after surgery, is already known to work in invasive breast cancer, and especially so in younger women. The researchers therefore decided to try out this technique in younger women, but with DCIS, an earlier stage of breast cancer.
Dr Gruber and colleagues analysed the records of 373 women aged 45 years or younger from 18 institutions throughout the world who had DCIS and had received breast-conserving surgery. About a sixth of the patients were not given any radiotherapy after surgery; almost half received radiotherapy without a boost; and the remaining two-fifths received radiotherapy with an extra boost. The researchers found that the risk of the cancer returning decreased progressively for each of these techniques � the most effective was radiotherapy with a boost.
So far, no randomised trials, the gold standard of assessment, have been done to assess the effects of boost radiotherapy in young women with DCIS. Dr Gruber therefore suggests that their results might mean that this technique will now be considered as a part of the armamentarium of breast conserving treatment, until randomised studies are done. "Of course", he adds, "radiotherapy has to be applied carefully, especially in regard to heart, lungs and the other breast".

We are photographers living with or affected by mental illness; supporting each other one photograph at a time. Join our community, submit today!
Photo taken by Tiger Lillies, a 48 year old single woman who suffers from deep depression, psychosis, and agoraphobia, all while raising her 2 young grandchildren, 4 and 5 years old. Thankfully she has a supportive partner Rick who helps make daily life with children possible. Her grandchildren, as well as her recent love of photography, have become her saviours and kept her from succumbing to the negative temptations that regularly haunt her. She has tried to commit suicide several times in the past, but thankfully is still with us. Her hopes are to get past her illness, as well as glaucoma, and become a non-wedding event photographer.
About this photo: "I was back in a slump again, and trying my best to get out of it. I really didn't feel like taking any pictures, but Rick had come over with some beautiful mixed flowers and asked me to take pictures of them. I placed the two tulips exactly as they look…stood back behind the camera and snapped. Becoming a little overwhelmed, I stopped and really looked at the two flowers. To me it looked as though the one was holding the other ones face, gently bringing it up towards her. How beautiful I thought."

This has been a bad week or so for me. I've been at a low, but this time with the feeling of such powerful anger. Not to sure how long this will last, but I pray for not much longer. Thank you all for liking this photo as much as you do. The comments and the likes mean a great deal to me. Thank you.
Dramatic photo…..made me gasp. Great.
As soon as you said one was holding the others face – Everything seemed to make sense … crazy good insight!
Our best,
Photography is an unexpected gift of my depression! It helps me on the good and bad days, this is on stunning image! 🙂

"The Wolverine" director James Mangold and his star Hugh Jackman are currently talking to the kids in a live chat being broadcast on YouTube as I type this. (Head on below to see the live chat in progress.) They've also released a new teaser poster for the upcoming comic book movie (via the film's official site) to celebrate the occasion, as you can see above you. I like it. Very minimalist and gets right to the point. Or, er, points.
Based on the celebrated comic book arc, THE WOLVERINE finds Logan, the eternal warrior and outsider, in Japan. There, samurai steel will clash with adamantium claw as Logan confronts a mysterious figure from his past in an epic battle that will leave him forever changed.
The film also stars Brian Tee, Will Yun Lee, Hiroyuki Sanada, Svetlana Khodchenkova, Rila Fukushima, James Fraser, Tao Okamoto, Hal Yamanouchi, and is due Summer 2013.

Tampa, FL, United States, 2012/01/05 - Advanced C4 Solutions, Inc (AC4S), a leading provider of voice, data and visual information services and solutions for public sector agencies unveiled recently it has already been granted a total of fifteen all new prime contractor orders.
AC4S, a respected supplier of voice, visual information, and data solutions and services for public sector organizations declared without delay that it has been awarded a total of 15 new prime contractor orders that are valued at more than $23M since 07/29/11. "A phenomenal 3 months for Advanced C4 Solutions - our best ever" - declared AC4S' CEO and President, Hugh Campbell. "Not only did we replace all our expiring work but we replaced it with work supporting the Intelligence and Cyber Communities" claimed Mr. Campbell. "And, on top of this, we were granted a prime contract for the General Services Administration's 8(a) STARS II Program with a value of $10.2B."
Norm Abdallah, Executive V.P. & co-owner of Advanced C4 Solutions, names the General Services Administration, the Federal Aviation Administration, the Department of State, & several National and Military Service Intelligence organizations as a part of AC4S' constantly improving customer base. In addition, Mr. Abdallah says that "We also received three new contracts supporting one of our long term military joint command customers"..
One such contract is to supply supervision, materials, and labor necessary to carry out program management support solutions to the Joint Communications Support Element (JCSE) at MacDill AFB in Fl. Advanced C4 Solutions and its principle partner, Fulcrum Information Technology Services Company are providing support solutions within the following functional arenas: mechanical engineering, vehicle operations maintenance, and facilities management, civil engineering, logistics support, and electrical engineering, personnel security, command administration, and weapons training, technology training, and program analysis.
"AC4S has a long standing history of supporting JCSE in a wide variety of areas" mentioned Mr. Campbell, which is a JCSE veteran as well. "Our documented history of receiving exceptional' CPARS ratings includes our support at JCSE."
Rich Wehde, AC4S' Program Manager at JCSE is also the Advanced C4 Solutions' Quality Manager. "We recently completed our ISO 9000 Stage II audit and have become an ISO registered company", stated Wehde. "Pursuing a formal quality certification under the mantra of Customer Satisfaction and Continuous Improvement was made easier because thats our focus here at JCSE - customer satisfaction and continuous improvement. We applied what we do here to our corporate processes."
Advanced C4 Solutions' VP of Operations and JCSE Veteran, Bill Savage, constantly struggles to obtain the appropriate personnel for the new work. "Even with the down economy, it's still a challenge to find the exactly right people that will measure up to our extremely high technical and ethical standards, but we continue to be successful in finding them", explained Savage. "This company is owned and managed by former senior military personnel and we demand nothing but the highest caliber people to help us execute the special trust our customers have placed in us."
"Our JCSE staff has a long history with the command", Savage stated. "Many of them served for years at JCSE as military members or government civilians. Our corporate knowledge of JCSE and its mission is extensive with 80% of our Executive Management team being JCSE alumni, including a former commander. We understand where that customer is coming from because we were once that customer. We at AC4S wear the JCSE purple color for a reason." Advanced C4 Solutions deploys with the Joint Communications Support Element today as civilians much like they have as they were on active duty, as a result it's an effortless transition for them. They know the background of The Joint Communications Support Element mainly because lots of AC4S' personnel were part of creating that history, and are still are doing so today.

Do emission cuts hurt the economy?The raging public debate about this question is often ill-informed and ignores relevant data and precedents. For example, in the U.S., regional carbon markets have proven to yield measurable benefits at a remarkably low cost.
Virtually all economic modeling suggests that cutting emissions and continued economic growth are not incompatible. Indeed, Australia's CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) has concluded that around 3 million additional jobs can be created over the next 20 years during transition to a sustainable economy.

Really, it's probably happened to all of us. You need some cash to buy a few groceries or gas -- but the wallet is empty. So, you go across the street, deep into the casino that always seems to be right there across the street, past the shiny, noisy rows of slot machines, video poker, blackjack tables, and roulette wheels, to pull $20 out of your account or charge card from the handy automated teller in the casino pit. And then you stroll right back out past all the noisy, shiny gaming and head back out to the convenience store.
Yes, it must happen all the time.
That, at least, was the argument that should have been made by the Connecticut National Bank of Hartford in its lawsuit against Richard and Michelle Kommit, a couple who ran up a $5,500 tab on their Connecticut National credit card. Instead, the bank's lawsuit ended up proving that the worst bet made here was probably the one the bank placed on Richard and Michelle.
It seems that back in the dawn of the ATM era, the Kommits incurred that $5,500 liability with cash they withdrew from an ATM located in the "pit" area of an Atlantic City, New Jersey casino. (How do we know it was the "dawn of the ATM era"? Because the credit card the Kommits used is referred to as a "Mastercharge" -- a name last used, oh, during the Reagan Administration.)
The Kommits lost the case, and appealed. Just to make the case a little more interesting (and confusing), the Kommits lived in Massachusetts (where the lawsuit was filed), the bank was located in Connecticut, and the casino was in New Jersey. The Kommits argued that the law of Massachusetts controlled the dispute.
In Massachusetts, as in Connecticut and New Jersey, contracts to repay money knowingly loaned for gambling are almost always void. But New Jersey had an special exception to this rule -- loans made for casino gambling in Atlantic City (only) are legal and enforceable.
Fine, said the bank -- but under Massachusetts law, you apply the law of the place where the money was loaned ... which was New Jersey. So, by applying Massachusetts law, you're really applying New Jersey law, which means that the bank wins.
The court, however, decided that if the case had been filed in New Jersey (which it wasn't), New Jersey law would have required the use of Connecticut law. That's because the credit card agreement said, "This agreement ... is governed by Connecticut Law." So if you apply Massachusetts law that means you're really applying New Jersey law which means you're really applying Connecticut law.
Does everyone have a headache so far?
Anyway, the court decided that under Connecticut law (which is where it ended up), it had to decide whether the bank knew that the money was going to be used to gamble. This perhaps was when the bank should have tried its groceries-and-a-gallon-of-gas argument, (however batty that might have been).
But having reached the simple conclusion that Massachusetts law required that it apply New Jersey law which required that it use Connecticut law, the court decided that it really wasn't capable of figuring out whether a bank would know that money dispensed from an ATM plunked in the pit area of a casino was "intended" for gambling. Instead, it sent the case back to the lower court to conduct further "fact-finding."
Really, though -- wouldn't it have been the greatest thing in the history of mankind if the Massachusetts court had ruled that the Kommits didn't owe the money?
Look at it this way: you go to the casino, borrow heavily on your "Mastercharge," and gamble wildly. If you win, great -- you pay off the Mastercharge and keep the winnings. And if you lose .?.?. well, you're absolved from having to pay back to the bank the money you borrowed.
And maybe you don't have to repay the money even if you win!
As Yakov Smirnoff, the standup comedian who last performed, oh, sometime during the Reagan Administration, might have put it, "America -- What a country!"

text: I have been doing this by slavishly following the manufacturers recommendation of 5 minutes at 1:15 for film rated at 400. Works nicely so far. A few questions though: 1. I have one roll that I rated at 200 instead so I should cut the development time but I am not sure by how much. Any suggestions? 2. How many rolls of 120 can I reasonably expect to develop with one 500ml lot of 1:15 dilution (Paterson tank)? 3. Should I really be increasing the development time by 30s for each subsequent roll as suggested? Looking forward to the usual excellent advice!

In our interview, Mongeon asserts that the album was entirely DIY — from the artwork to the production — and that they experienced a huge amount of support from fans throughout the oft-gruelling process. Their hard work is paying off, though: the record received a Juno nomination for Heavy Metal Album of the Year.
While Fuck The Facts have a hefty European tour filling the next few months, the pair emphasize the importance of home and express their continued gratitude for the appreciation they receive from their Canadian fanbase. Watch the interview in full below.

text: Going over the timers I aquired, it looks like one may be off a bit. Finding an accurate AND trustworthy souce of time is easier said than done. It got me thinking about a solution. A small box that plugs into the enlarger outlet on the timer and starts counting, with 0.01 second resolution up to 99.99 seconds, when the circuit is energized. Obviously it would stop counting when the circuit is turned off. This could also be used to check shutter calibration as well. A way to change the time scale to one with 0.0001 seconds resolution and different adaptor and it should work for that. Does anyone think that this would be commecially viable? If so, would you buy one? How much would you pay? What would be an acceptable margin of error?

Somewhere in Europe (Jul. 8)
Representatives of the government-controlled Jewish Central Office in Bucharest were permitted last April to visit the devastated towns in Transnistria, the Rumanian-administered part of Axis-occupied Ukraine, to where tens of thousands of Jews have been deported from Bessarabia, Bukovina and other parts of Rumania, according to a report issued in Bucharest.
The report states that disease and starvation is taking a heavy toll of the deported Jews. More than 200 Jews were found to be suffering from paralysis while 401 showed symptoms of the initial phases of the disease.
The delegation emphasized that starvation among the deportees is so acute that they eat poisonous seeds. "Many of them have been fed on those seeds exclusively for a long time," the report pointed out, declaring that one of the effects of this "food" is that the people who eat it contract lathyrism, paralysis of the lower limbs, which is now wide spread among the Jewish deportees.
Another report from Rumania states that conditions under which the Jewish deportees in the Tulchin district of Transnistria live are so bad that the Rumanian authorities there were compelled to appeal to the central authorities in Bucharest for food in order to enable the Jews to perform the forced labor to which they are assigned.
Of 2,000 Jews who were sent from Tulchin to do forced labor in the city of Gaissin, on the left bank of the river Bug, only 400 are reported to remain alive. Conditions are even worse in other labor camps in the Tulchin district, especially in Warniarka, Paciore and Kapustiana. A contingent of 150 Jews was sent from the camp in Kapustiana to "somewhere east of the Bug River" but nothing is known of their fate, the report says.

Lazaraga Gold Resources Ltd analyst team predicts that gold futures will soon soar to a record high this coming 2012. Just like this Wednesday, gold prices rose as the U.S. dollar headed lower, breaking through technical levels.
Not only is Lazaraga Gold Resources Ltd confident that the gold value decreases will never last and will hit a new high record by the end of 2012, but also other gold miners around the globe will be adding to the overall worldwide output to help with increasing demand. Recently near 80 percent of gold mining companies have stated that gold will grow in value during 2012 and may continue until it reaches $2,000 per ounce.
Lazaraga Gold Resources Ltd (lazaraga.com) along with other gold mining companies have started to give or increase dividend payouts to attract attention of savvy investors.
We are a gold company focused on acquiring, exploring, and developing gold mines in the country of China. We are currently working an established area in the western zone, located in Henan Province. Henan is the second largest gold producing province in the country and the area is often referred to as the world famous "Gold Belt of China". Working parallel with our mining projects, the company resource base is expanding through nonstop efforts in exploration of existing projects as well as seeking new mining development projects in multiple districts. With a core focus of discovery and extraction of gold we have a track record of being one of the most productive mining companies in the region.

A video game movie done right? Wreck-It Ralph opening soon

More On:
Wreck-It Ralph
Gamers have been waiting for years for a great movie based on a video game property. Since nobody can seem to do a "good" single movie based on a single game, perhaps Disney can do it by using a lot of them.
Wreck-It Ralph
is opening in theaters on November 2, 2012 and based on the the trailers that have been shown thus far, and the new trailer shown below, it could be the movie gamers have been waiting for.
We've talked about the movie a few times in the past, with both John and I showing interest in the project. It looks genuinely funny while managing to capture the spirit of the industry at the same time. It is clear to see that the people behind this film not only enjoy games, but respect and admire them too, which is the magic piece of the formula that could make the difference.
Check out the latest trailer for the film which launches in just a few short weeks:

The Northeys Of Woodcote House - Part 1
Part 1 - Sir Edward Northey (1652-1723)
Sir Edward Northey.

This Edward Northey (there will be several others in due course) was born on 7 May 1652 in London. The mid-17th century was a period of unprecedented upheaval, when England had no monarch. It was just over three years after the execution of King Charles I and nineteen months before Oliver Cromwell became Lord Protector.

Edward was educated at St Paul's School, London and Queen's College, Oxford and was called to the Bar at the Middle Temple in 1674. He had a long and distinguished career in the law and politics and very often they were intertwined. He is credited with establishing a rookery in the Inner Temple Gardens with crows brought from his Woodcote estate. He also owned property in Wiltshire, being Lord of the Manor of Box, and in Essex Street, London. Politically he was regarded as a 'mild Tory'.
Lieutenant-Colonel EGV Northey describes Woodcote House thus: 'The house was originally typically Queen Anne in architecture and built of lovely red brick, as were the stables. Sadly, later in Victorian days, it was made bigger and much less beautiful.'
One of Edward's first famous legal cases was Godden v Hales in 1686, a contrived lawsuit engineered by King James II to obtain a ruling that confirmed his 'divine right' to dispense with Acts of Parliament which didn't suit him, principally those concerning religion. James was a Roman Catholic who favoured the Catholics and persecuted Anglicans. As he had sacked most of the judges who disagreed with him, it comes as no surprise that the ultimate decision in Godden v Hales went in his favour - but it was a hollow and temporary victory, for in 1788 seven leading Anglicans, known as 'The Immortal Seven', invited his Protestant son-in-law, William of Orange, to invade the country and depose him, which William did, ruling jointly with James's daughter, Mary, as William III.
In 1689 Edward was appointed Attorney General of the duchy of Lancaster and of England and Wales in 1701. William III died in that year; Edward was reappointed by Queen Anne and knighted in 1702.

Two cases that Edward prosecuted in 1704 give a flavour of the times in which he lived.
Scotsman David Lindsay's crime was high treason, by virtue of the fact that he had gone to France without permission from William III (this was a measure designed to prevent the Jacobites, who were trying to restore James II to the throne, from collaborating with the French) and had returned years later, again without permission, in the reign of Queen Anne, in breach of a royal proclamation. Lindsay was bewildered by the whole business, since the Queen had issued a proclamation of pardon for such transgressions and, in any event, he had originally returned to Scotland - it was only when he set foot in England that he was arrested. The arguments in this case were so convoluted and wordy (and boring) that I will not even give you a link to the transcript, but the outcome was that Lindsay was sentenced to hang at Tyburn and then reprieved.
Edward's other big prosecution of 1704 was the case of John Tutchin. Tutchin had already been in serious trouble, having written verse in support of the Monmouth Rebellion, which was an unsuccessful attempt to overthrow James II in 1685. Tried by the infamous Judge Jeffreys at the 'Bloody Assizes', he was lucky to escape with a term of imprisonment. All was well during the reign of William III, but then Tutchin started a publication called 'The Observator' in which he was critical of the Crown, Government, judiciary and suchlike - in essence he was alleging corruption in high places, particularly the Navy. In those days such utterances were regarded as seditious libel. He was found guilty, but the conviction was overturned on a technicality. This did not stop his activities; he was arrested again in 1707, but his luck ran out - he was beaten to death in his cell. There were suggestions that his murder might have been procured by those in high places whom he had upset, but nothing was ever proved.

It was said that Edward was not a particularly successful Attorney General and, whether this was true or not, he lost the position in 1707 for political reasons: however, he did not fall entirely out of favour and was expected to be reappointed in 1708, when his successor resigned, but Sir James Montagu, brother of the Earl of Halifax, got the job instead (Montagu had been the barrister who successfully defended John Tutchin in his 1704 trial). Edward was reported to have said that 'though they have at last given Sir James the title of attorney-general, they can never give him the reputation to support it'.
In 1710 machinations in the corridors of power led to Edward's reappointment as attorney-general; he also became the Member of Parliament for Tiverton in Devon. He was appointed to many parliamentary drafting committees and then became involved in attempts to prosecute the Duke of Marlborough for alleged corruption in dealing with army bread contracts (this was THE Duke of Marlborough, victor at Blenheim, but also a man who had been mentioned in connection with the death of John Tutchin). Marlborough had fallen out of favour and the aim was to have him dismissed from the Army, which he was (but only temporarily - personages in those days had a remarkable talent for bouncing back as the personalities in government changed).

In 1713 the political satirist, Jonathan Swift (author of 'Gulliver's Travels'), wrote a poem called 'The Fagot', in which he commented on the power struggles and ambition within the government of the day. The whole poem can be accessed at
, but the extract below refers specifically to Edward Northey.
Come, trimming Harcourt, bring your mace;
And squeeze it in, or quit your place:
Dispatch, or else that rascal Northey
Will undertake to do it for thee:
And be assured, the court will find him
Prepared to leap o'er sticks, or bind them.
See the footnote for an explanation of the points that Swift was making).
Edward survived as Attorney General and retired in 1717 with a pension of £1,500 a year (which would be well over a quarter of a million pounds in today's money). He retained his seat in Parliament until 1722, by which time he was suffering from a serious paralysing illness, and died in Epsom on 16 August 1723. His wife, formerly Anne Jolliffe, whom he had married in 1687 at St Martin Outwich, City of London, survived him until 17 August 1743: they were buried at St Martin's, Epsom, as instructed in their wills.

Edward had not been particularly wealthy as a young man; he was a second son and the inheritance was earmarked for his elder brother, William, which is why he became a working lawyer. However, he had a stroke of excellent fortune in 1686 when he inherited a third share of the estate of Lady Philadelphia Wentworth, which amounted to £14,000 (I am not sure what this is in current terms, since the inflation tables do not go back that far, but it would be somewhere around £3 million).
It is a mystery why Lady Wentworth left him so much, but she had an interesting family, so we will have a short diversion at this point. Her father was Sir Ferdinando Carey, a very corpulent gentleman, who was shot through the body at the siege of Bergen-op-Zoom, Netherlands in 1622. The word 'through' is used advisedly, since the bullet entered via his stomach, missed everything vital and emerged via his back, killing the man standing behind him. The Earl of Strafford said of Carey when he died in 1638 - 'a Lieutenant-Colonel of the Low Countries, a brave man, who died here suddenly of a lethargy, a most overgrown man with fat'. Philadelphia was the widow of Thomas, Lord Wentworth, who was a commander during the English Civil War, and mother of Henrietta Maria Wentworth, who inherited the barony from her father and was mistress of James Scott, Duke of Monmouth, the illegitimate son of Charles II who led the Monmouth Rebellion in 1685. Henrietta went into exile with the Duke to Holland. After his failed attempt to invade England and depose his uncle, James II, he was executed for treason; it was said that it took seven or eight strokes of the axe to accomplish the job. Henrietta returned home and died the following year, aged just 25. It is said that her heart was broken and she just declined.

1. Two political leaders, Bolingbroke and Oxford, had spoiled their terms of office by petty quarrelling and had no friends left in the political arena. The speaker in the poem has the voice of a wise father dying and leaving advice for quarrelling offspring. He sees his sons (all the politicians mentioned in the poem) working without co-operating and draws the example of the Roman political system, whereby a bundle of sticks (faesces) was carried in front of the consul to signify unity of purpose. Swift (or the wise father) points out that it would be unheard of to separate the bundle and have the praetor and the consul acting outside of their function. In the English Parliament they are all wielding their own sticks instead of acting together. (There is a maxim - unity is strength).
Here, the Lord Treasurer is the Earl of Oxford, one of the quarrelling parties, who is lax in fulfilling his duties, Harcourt is Chancellor, 'trimming', I imagine, because he is always trying to save expenses. He brought in Northey to help the situation out, but unfortunately Northey is ambitious and wants to be Chancellor himself - he was known to be ambitious. Harcourt is being told to do his job, or else Northey will do it for him. The picture of Northey jumping over sticks or binding them up demonstrated his methods and connivings to get what he wants. In other words, acting alone or in groups, the parliamentarians would be no obstacle to Northey's ambition. He is called a rascal because he is after the job even though he has been brought in by the Chancellor to help out, so ambitious is he. The others are all people who hold or have or will hold office of some kind. The fagot (Roman Faesces) in a bundle is the central symbol, and the separate twigs or sticks show everyone doing what they want and not acting together at all. The poem ends with an injunction to act together so that the Whigs can be defeated.
With thanks to Professor Karen Batley for this footnote.
