With the eighth selection in the 2013 NBA Draft, the Detroit Pistons select…I have no idea but here are five possible selections:
Trey Burke, Michigan, PG – If the National Player of the Year is available at #8 the Pistons cannot afford to pass on him. He is the best point guard in this year's draft and point guard is a position of need for the Pistons. Burke can distribute the ball without turning it over and can still score in bunches. He runs great pick and rolls which would pair nicely with the Pistons two bigs, Monroe and Drummond. If Burke were 6'3 he'd be a top three pick. However I don't think he falls past the Pelicans at six.
CJ McCollum, Lehigh, PG/SG – Don't let the small school status scare you. This kid is for real. He reminds me of a lot of Steph Curry. McCollum can score from anywhere on the court and shot over 51% from 3-point range during his senior season. The concern I have about him is his ability to play the point. Rumors are swirling that the Kings will take him at #7 or that the Jazz will trade up to take him, so McCollum might not be available when the Pistons select at 8.
Ben McLemore, Kansas, SG – Could it happen again that one of the best players in the draft somehow slips to the Pistons? According to NBAdrat.net this will be the case. McLemore struggled in workouts and has been slipping on draft boards. If he goes unpicked after seven picks, Joe Dumars won't be able to make this selection fast enough.
Anthony Bennett, UNLV, SF/PF – Bennett has the most NBA ready body in the draft and reminds me a lot of another Running Rebel, a guy by the name of Larry Johnson. So why could Bennett be available at #8? At 6'7 he is a tweener between the 3 and 4 and teams for some reason are scared to pick a tweener high in the draft. That means little to me. His huge wingspan, 7'1, essentially makes him 6'9. Many scouts consider Bennett to be the best talent in the draft.
Michael Carter-Williams, Syracuse, PG – If the Pistons are able to draft either one of the four listed above I'll be thrilled and so should any Piston fan. However, if all four are gone MCW could be the selection. He has incredible height at 6'6 and he could easily make moving Knight to the off-guard a smooth transition but MCW is a project and Pistons fans would have to patient with him. He must develop an outside jump shot but he is a playmaker and could end up being an Andre Miller type player in the future.
The Pistons also own the #37 & #56 picks in the second round. Here are some names to keep in mind when the Pistons make their later selections. I do however predict the Pistons will take a European with the #56 pick:
Nate Wolters, PG, SDSU
Jeff Withey, C, Kansas
Glen Rice Jr., SG, NBDL
CJ Leslie, SF/PF, NC State
DeShaun Thomas, SF/PF, OSU
Ryan Kelly, PF, Duke
Trevor Mbakwe, PF, Minnesota
Archie Goodwin, PG, Kentucky
Ray McCallum, PG, Detroit

Well built, works great By Shaun on 7/9/2014Shaun would recommend this product to a frienddrawstring is great for attaching directly to plumbing. after numerous washes and uses, the felt socks are still completely intact with no signs of wearing out. very well built and clears water in no time. Also cleans easily in washing machine.
work great By Adam on 6/23/2014Adam would recommend this product to a friendThease felt socks filter great, they catch all the small stuff floating in the tank, and the draw string makes them easy to attach to almost any plumbing.
EXCELLENT By marc on 5/10/2014marc would recommend this product to a friendI received the item quickly and am very happy with the quality of the product. It has made a drastic difference in the clarity of my tank and does a good job in removing the larger particles from the water.
brs rocks By mario on 3/30/2014mario would recommend this product to a friendeverything i order from brs is top quality and gets to me in a timely matter although i think shipping is just a little high .
Excellent By Esquare on 3/30/2014Esquare would recommend this product to a friendThese have a lot of surface area and do not clog quickly. I would recommend them.

Love the draw string feature! By Nil on 3/14/2014Nil would recommend this product to a friendLove the draw string feature, haven't found elsewhere. Strings make it much more easy fro me to tie them around the outlets than the plastic rims. Good offerings in terms of sizes.
Great filter socks By Pam on 2/6/2014Pam would recommend this product to a friendI have the large and smaller socks on aquariums here. They work well and launder fairly good. I usually have to wash them inside out and then wash again right side out in order to get them snowy white but it is a lot less expensive than using filter floss. I am sure I will be buying more when these wear out.

Ally remembered the first day that she decided she hated snow. It was the day before her tenth birthday. Her frail form held a light pink rose tightly in her small hands as her Auntie told her that it meant she was sorry for Ally's loss. Ally looked above to the sky, the down cast of shadows swirling in the midst of the clouds frightened her, but confusion of why had eluded her. Ally watched as the first snowflakes fell on the casket. Nothing but a blanket of people all dressed in black with white flakes resting on their shoulders encased in a circle as she surveyed each person with tear stained eyes. Lastly she looked at her mother, tugged on her dress and whispered.
"Mama, Jesse's comin' back right? He's only leaving for a little while right?"
Ally's mother regretted her decision to keep as much information from her until afterwards. She hardly stood straight looking down at Ally, stroking her long dark brown braid. Telling her the truth in that moment would crush her soul if she told her, but she knew it had to be done. Her thin frame bent to Ally's level, tears smearing what little make-up she had on. She wrapped her arms around Ally, allowing Ally's head to lean on her shoulder and whispered the words that she knew would forever change her baby girl,
"I'm so sorry baby, but Jesse's not coming back. He's going to meet Papa and Nana in heaven." Ally's mother physically felt her daughter's body shiver uncontrollably. They wept together as Ally held on for dear life while the pastor said his final words.
Ally's mother pulled her slightly away from her to get a good look at her, and what she saw was a small shattered soul In Ally's now vacant crystal blue eyes. Ally's innocence had disappeared in one swift moment. She knew this would be hard on her. Ally had never been to a funeral before. Her mother felt she was too young to accompany her and Jesse when her parents died. Jesse and Ally were so close, she couldn't fathom the idea of not giving her the chance to say goodbye. All she could hope for was that Ally would wait until after the funeral to ask her questions, sadly she knew her daughter all too well.
The luncheon came and went. Everyone spoke their condolences to Ally's mother, and some tried to talk to Ally. Ally had no effort in trying to be social. She stood with her back toward everyone as she looked outside, silent tears drenching her face. Snow – today was the first day it had fallen this year. The day her brother was gone forever. Ally hissed under her breath, "I hate snow…" Her crystal blue eyes now shadowed by hate and fear.
Fear of going home and never seeing her brother walk through the front door and greeting her with a massive hug. Ally reflected on the day that Jesse moved out of Mama's house. She remembered how upset she was with him. That day was the first and only time she ever said she hated him. She knew she didn't mean it, but it came out before she realized it. Instead of Jesse getting mad at her, he smiled. Jesse walked over to an angry little sister and disheveled the top of her hair, bending down and looked her straight in the eyes and said,
"Hey little dove, How 'bout I make you a promise?"
Ally glared at him with defiance, but wondered what the promise would be. Jesse tilted his head to one side with that quirky smile she loved, and she finally relaxed.
Jesse raised his forefinger to Ally's chin so they were eye to eye and said, "Little dove, I promise to be here every morning to eat breakfast with you and see you off to school. I promise to be here and help you with your homework as soon as I get off of work. I promise to give ya a big hug and tell you how much I love you before I leave each and every night. Even though I'm not here physically all the time; I'll always be with you no matter what. I love you."
Ally smiled as she closed her eyes with wet lashes, her forehead leaning against the window pane. Jesse kept his promise for almost a whole year until now. She wanted to be mad at him for leaving her behind. She wanted to scream at the top of her lungs, but he was gone and there was nothing anyone could do to bring him back. Her happy tears from her memory soon gave way to the feeling of complete loneliness. She knew she still had Mama, but Jesse was her light that brightened even the darkest of nights. A flicker of light shown through her sorrow when she remembered Jesse telling her one day,
"You and me little dove, we're soul mates, until the end of time. No one will ever capture my heart like you have." Ally remembered him saying that right before he stole her ice cream cone and ran, laughing at her as she tried to get it back. Ally was lost in old memories for so long that when her mother turned her toward her. Only then did she realize that everyone was gone.
Ally's mother gently spoke, "Baby, it's time to go home." She held Ally's little hand in hers. She noted that her touch felt different, as if her life had been sucked right out of her. She chalked it up to Ally needing more time to learn how to cope with the death of her beloved brother. She began walking to the front door, but Ally wouldn't move. She stood still. Her mother knew they had a bond unlike what she had with her brothers. She wasn't sure how to handle her own loss of her only son, let alone Ally's loss. She realized then that they would both need some help eventually. She leant down and asked Ally what was wrong,
"What is it baby? Tell me what I can do to make you feel better?"
Ally's answer was cold as ice and right to the point, "Mama, I don't want my room anymore. I want to sleep in Jesse's old bed, with his blanket and everything he left at home."
Her mother wasn't sure if that was the best idea. She knew she was already treading on thin ice. Ally needed to learn how to live without him, not bury herself in a room that she may not ever come out of. At this moment, she saw the determination in Ally's eyes and she didn't have the heart to tell her no.
"Okay baby, but only for a little while. It won't be good for you to stay in there permanently."
Ally stomped one foot firmly to the surface below her as she crossed her arms, "Mama, he isn't coming back. Please let me move into his room. I want to feel closer to him."
With that said, her mother broke. She let Ally move into Jesse's room where she stayed for good. The only thing that kept Ally going was when she fell asleep and dreamed about Jesse. He would always make sure she knew that by morning she would feel safe and sound and always remembered and loved. When she turned thirteen, the dreams didn't come as often and that worried her. She didn't want to lose those precious moments with him. She didn't want to forget. Gradually Jesse stopped coming to visit her dreams. Those were all she had left besides his belongings.
Years later...
Three years after her mother eventually passed away from drinking herself to death. From the age of eighteen until she was twenty, she lived in solitude. Regretfully, Ally's decision to put the house up for sale was heartbreaking. Her fondest memories rested within that house, but her worst were also there and she just couldn't stay wrapped up in the past any longer. She knew she had to move on. It was a welcoming release yet her heart told her differently. She felt guilt for wanting to let go.
The new homeowners, was set to receive the keys on the very day that Jesse was buried. Ally became frantic. She couldn't allow two horrible things happening on that same date. She pleaded with the realtor to give the keys over to them on her birthday which was the next day. That wasn't an important date to her since she was nine, the last day she would be nine. The next day after Jesse's funeral was her birthday and she was hell bent on never celebrating it ever again. The realtor reluctantly waited another day although the couple had already moved everything out of the apartment and handed the keys back to the land owner. In the end, they slept in a hotel nearby and Ally was handed a small amount of peace of mind.
Ten years had passed on in the small town she grew up in. She looked at the house one last time then proceeded to put her car in drive and slowly drove away with the U-Haul in tow. She drove slowly through town. It wouldn't take her long to get out of town considering it had only one stop sign. Ally sighed heavily as the weight of the final goodbye hit her hard. She cried as she drove down the five mile stretch to the next town. In between her town and the next, tall stalks of corn stood swaying in the breeze.
Ally drove through all of the small towns that stood between her and getting to I-80 eastbound to Chicago. When she saw the sign that said, 'Welcome to Grinnell' she tried hard to stay within the speed limit as much as possible, Ally's grip slowly tightened on the wheel. I-80 was just on the other side of that small town. Finally, she aired a sigh of relief when she turned onto the highway. She couldn't describe the odd feeling of relief when she did so, but a small portion of elevation raised her spirits and she almost believed that she was doing the right thing. Almost…

Hi Amelia,
This is very well written. I enjoyed reading it a lot. You have a very good descriptive style, I particularly liked the phrase 'a blanket of people all dressed in black with white flakes resting on their shoulders' and your use of snow as a thing for Ally to hate. And of course it is so sad. I hope that she can find some peace.
Best wishes
Thank you so much Chris for reading and a huge thanks for commenting. I have been sitting 50/50 on if I should take this down. It didn't seem that anyone wanted to read it. So thanks! I would hug you right now if I could :)
Should I leave it?
Wow, thanks for the boost in confidence. My very first comment and a great one too! I already know what is coming next, so If I have one reader, I'll keep writing. I'm so excited. Thanks! Amelia
Hi Amelia
I think your story is very promising, so go on writing.
I would like to see what Changes are Coming for your character, Ally.
Will she move from sadness to happiness?
Good luck with your story.
Hey Seugnet, Thanks for commenting and giving the story a try. Lots of changes are coming so it'll be interesting.
Thanks and hope to see you around for the next chapter.
hello amelia,
i love it this is a great story so i think you should keep writing!
Hey Jazzy, That is so cool. thanks. I will definitely keep writing now.
Hey 27, lol, yeah you became a number. Hope you don't mind. You'll stick out from the rest, that's good, right? I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it. I hope everyone will be okay with the shorter chapters. It's easier for me. I saw some stories that have really long chapters, but I don't have that kind of time. Would short chapters be okay? Posting soon. Amelia
Hi to all, I've noticed that a lot of people have banners or something for their stories. Can anyone tell me how or where to get them? Also, A Jesse Desplat does videos for stories but he or she doesn't do non-Twilight stories. Anyone know who does? I'd love to hear from you if you know anything. Amelia
Hi Amelia

A FOX 32 News web producer spotted an animal that closely resembled a coyote wandering her northwest suburban subdivision Tuesday morning.
The animal was moving quickly along Travis Parkway in Roselle, Ill. just before 11 a.m. The animal appeared to be alone.
After walking around the block, FOX 32's web producer saw what appeared to be the same animal sitting in the shade of a tree near the neighborhood playground. There were no children at the park at that time.
Other sightings have been reported in the same area. FOX 32 is working to confirm whether of not this is, in fact, a coyote.

Holding Alzheimer's in Check
By Allan Reder
National Public Radio's Daniel Schorr is the kind of guy who would make any aging news junkie stand up and cheer. On July 19, 2006, Schorr turned 90, yet he still performs at an undiminished level in one of the most demanding jobs in today's media. He began his career at CBS News in 1953 and joined NPR as its senior news analyst at 69, an age at which many of his colleagues had long been put out to pasture. In his position, he has to pack his cerebral hard drive with massive amounts of information, and then he has to possess the Pentium-esque agility to mine that information for insights worthy of NPR's highly educated listeners. Schorr pulls off the challenge with effortless grace.
But Schorr's beat-the-clock competence calls attention to an issue with implications for everything from lifestyle choices to national social policy. Because of advances in medical science, people are living much longer than ever before. The US Census Bureau projects that the number of elderly aged 85 and older will more than triple from about 4 million today to about 14 million by 2040. That includes many of us reading this article.
Unfortunately, we won't all age like Daniel Schorr. Some of us will live out our dotage without all our marbles. Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia will rob us of our intellectual abilities, our short-term memories, our personalities, and even the ability to recognize the people we love the most. The prospect is terrifying—especially because researchers don't yet understand exactly what causes Alzheimer's (or dementia) or how to prevent it or even slow the destruction.
But they are making progress on those fronts. Lots of indicators point toward a health regimen that may preserve your mental capacities well into old age, and perhaps indefinitely. The even better news? If you're already practicing a healthy lifestyle as that concept is currently understood, you may be most of the way home.
A New Understanding
No one fully knows what causes Alzheimer's but the research community is beginning to feel it's at least driving in the right neighborhood. Current thinking suggests that the disease results from a complex dance between several partners: lifestyle factors such as food choices, environmental factors such as educational level and previous head injuries, and a person's inherited genes. Recently, scientists have focused on the strong link between cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's. Mounting evidence suggests that cardiovascular risk factors such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and poor dietary habits also significantly boost the risk for Alzheimer's in particular and cognitive decline in general.
For instance, a Finnish study involving nearly 1,500 subjects found that high cholesterol and blood pressure were even more tightly tied to Alzheimer's than the so-called APOE-4 gene, the genetic risk factor associated with the most common form of the illness. Other studies corroborate thi...

The 2013 Farm Journal Profit College is a one-of-a-kind, cutting edge event that builds on the knowledge of Farm Journal Field Agronomist Ken Ferrie, Farm Journal columnist Moe Russell and Top Producer columnist and AgWeb blogger Chris Barron. Co-located with a Corn College Planter Clinic, the event is focused on Variable-Rate Technology (VRT), recognizing that precision technology has a powerful impact on agronomic and profitability outcomes.
Event details:
Fishers Banquet and Conference Center, Fishers, Ind.
Tuesday, March 12, 2013
Register now!
Using VRT to create management zones within fields allows growers to increase yields by 25-30 bu./acre, providing a tremendous payback—regardless to the size of the farm operation. The technology also contributes to the enormous gaps in profitability—that range as high as $500/acre—from one field to the next.
The event will have an engaged format unique to the FJM event family—weaving real live farmer case studies throughout the day (with agronomic data, machinery set-up, profitability examples and panel participation). We will also integrate the Turning Point Instant Survey technology through the entire day.
The morning will be devoted to the agronomic side of VRT and the afternoon will be focused on turning that agronomic success into dollars on the business side.

Chapter 1. Sun
I woke up. The sun was yellow and bright as it shone through my curtains. Wow. It was sunny for once - in Forks! I couldn't believe it, I quickly ran to my bedroom window and opened the curtains. I was right, it was sunny. The sun shone over the blue horizon and shone in the meek greyish, blue sky. I opened the window and breathed in the beautiful, fresh air. The light breeze hit at my face, making me shiver. But still it was nice to have a bit of light in this wet, cold country.
"It's a beautiful day isn't it" My dad suddenly said. I turned to face him, he was standing in the door way with a cup of coffee in his hand. He looked pleased about the weather to.
"Mmm." I turned back round to face the sun "I've lived here since I was seven and it's like I haven't saw the sun before" I chuckled.
"Apart from going to see your mother in Phoenix." He pointed out. I rolled my eyes and smiled.
"Yes dad apart from that." I breathed in the fresh air again. I had a feeling that it was going to be a good day.
"Anyway, I'm off now" Charlie said still standing behind me.
"Yeah, I'll be back soon." He told me.
"Kay." I breathed. And then I heard the door quietly close from behind me. He was gone.
After getting washed and dressed in a short sleeve top and jeans, I got an old blanket from the cupboard and took it down stairs and into the garden. I usually do this when it's sunny - which is not that often. I also got my favourite book Wuthering Heights. I was already on the last chapter, might as well read it now. So I lay down on my stomach and started flicking through the pages. I was relaxed…
About half hour had passed now, and the sun was still beaming brightly in the blue sky. I smiled. I had finished my book now and I wasn't done absorbing the sun. So instead I lay on my back and closed my eyes, but a couple of seconds later, I couldn't feel the warm heat on my skin. Where is my sun? I opened my eyes and breathed. But then suddenly jumped. Gah!
"Edward!" I yelled, "Don't do that, you startled me!"
Edward was standing over me, smiling, blocking my sun. He starting chuckling and sat next to me. I looked up at him and glared. His emerald, green eyes sparkled in the sun and his tanned, but yet pale complexion made me feel jealous due to my pale, ghost-like skin. Edward Cullen has been my best friend since I was seven. But I haven't seen him lately - he's been on holiday for three weeks in Hawaii! That's probably why he is so tanned. I was still glaring at him,
"I take it your not happy to see me" he said playfully.
"No! I am not" I said, crossing my arms and pouting. Edward put on his sad face and bent down his head, but then suddenly stood up, blocking my sun again. He is so tall.
"I understand…" he said sadly but playfully, walking away. Ugh!
"Ugh. Edward come back! Just sit down" I said.
He looked over his shoulder then smiled showing a set of pearly white teeth. I rolled my eyes, as he sat back down next to me on the ragged blanket.
"Make up your mind Bella! You want me here or you don't!" he said teasingly, running his fingers through his bronze, messy hair. I've always loved Edward's hair.
"Oh just shut up!" I chuckled. He chuckled to. "So" I said changing the subject now "How was Hawaii?"
"Very hot. I'm actually quite annoyed that it's sunny today." he said looking up at the sky disgustedly.
"It was raining yesterday." I reminded him.
"I only got back this morning, So I haven't saw the rain yet" he sighed.
"What? Really? You must be really tired." I said lying back down. Edward lay next to me, the sun shone on both of us. His eyes looked bright as they sparkled in the sun. I was getting even more jealous of his new, tan.
"No, not really. I slept on the plane" he told me, closing his eyes now.
"Have you been to see Jessica's?" I asked him, although I probably already knew. Jessica Stanley is Edward's girlfriend, they've been dating for two years. Jessica is also rich, just like Edward. I've only ever met her a couple of times and she didn't seem that polite but I didn't know if that was just towards me. She was quite small, with wavy brown hair. She also had a mind for fashion, and to me she thought a lot of herself. But I know Edward likes her a lot.
"No not yet. I'm going to hers after I've been here." he said eyes still closed. I was surprised about that.
"Ouhh, I'm special, that you came to see me first" I said jokingly. I turned my head to face him. His eyelids were open now and he had a small smirk on his face. I smiled to.
"Yes you are" he breathed. He seemed serious. Well we are best friends. I smiled at him and turned my head so I was facing the sky. It was so blue, so unusual for Forks - but I wasn't complaining.
"How did you meet Jess exactly?" I suddenly asked. Jess never went to the same school as me and Edward - Forks high School. Edward said she was home schooled. But he never told me how they met.
"My parents introduced me to her, and I guess they were sort of hoping I would fall for her-"
"And you did" Obviously. He chuckled. "so why do you think, your parents wanted you to get together?" I continued.
"I'm not sure. But my mother works with Jess' mom with the magazine and they've been friends for ages." he told me. He seemed calm and complexed
"Oh" I murmured. Edward's parents are very …. Determined to get the 'best' things in life. Edward's father Carlisle is one of the main doctors. Sometime he has to go to different hospitals. And his mother works as a magazine editor, she owns her own magazine for women's fashion, she also owns her own resturant! But i have never been. And Edward's parents, (from what he has told me), expects very much of him. His elder brother Emmett is twenty one and is already in the boxing career and is already married, to Rosalie Hale. And Edward's younger sibling, Alice is still in school but obviously in the top set. I get along really well with Alice, she's like a little sister, she tells me everything, like how she has a little crush on Jasper Hale Rosalie Hale's younger brother. The Hale family are not rich like the Cullen's, but Rosalie does modelling shoots, for Esme's magazine, so the Cullen's bond very well with the Hale's. My father is also close friends with Carlisle, but I'm still kind of shy of them, even though I've known them for how long.
It was silent for a minute or two, until the sun started to shy away behind the white, turning grey clouds. It was getting darker. No! I didn't want it to rain!
"I think it might rain." Edward said, it sounded like he had a smile on his face.
"How could you like the rain. I'm sick of it!" I groaned, sitting up now.
"If you went to Hawaii for three weeks, you would understand" he said sarcastically also sitting up. The breeze swirled around me, blowing a lock of hair in front of my face. Edward got it and put it behind my ear. I smiled at him, and then sighed.
"I can't afford to go to Hawaii … Unlike some people" I joked referring to him and his rich family.
"I'll take you one day" he told me. He seemed serious. Was he serious? I looked at him and rolled my eyes.
"Oh, can you see me standing on the beach with my pale skin and wearing one of those flower necklaces. I can't picture it" I laughed. I looked at my arm, so, so pale. He put his bronze, glowing arm next to mine, so they touched. He was so warm. Had he been working out?
"Hmmmm, it's not that much of a difference" he snickered while looking at the comparison of our skin colours.
"Har, Har. Very funny." i said rolling my eyes and standing up now. He looked up at me under his lashes and smiled. It was the smile I adored. I couldn't help but smile back.
"I'm serious I will take you. You'll love it" he said serious again.
"Is that a promise?" I teased. He stood up now and looked at me with his green eyes. His eyes weren't like the colour of moss, they were like a light, lime green. No wonder the girls always used to fall over him, when we were at school - I always wondered why.
"Yeah, we'll sunbath on the beach till you have a glowing tan-" he snickered.
"And dance, wearing hula skirts" I laughed.
"Not so sure about that one" he snorted, showing his pearly white teeth again. "But we will go, that's our destination"
I laughed "To go to Hawaii, what about Jessica, where is yours and her destination?
He chuckled "Hmmmm. She'll probably want to go to Hollywood or something."
"I prefer Hawaii to Hollywood. But that's just me…"
"And me" he smiled. I smiled back.
"Can I ask a question?" He nodded. "Why do you live here in Forks, you have a choice to live all over the world and you choose to live here in rainy Forks."
He thought for a minute "Well for my parents, my mother's business is in Seattle and this is where my father works. It's not hard Bella." he said mockingly, I gave him a playful glare "And" he continued "Because I wouldn't want to leave my best friend" he smiled. Aw, he is so awesome. "Oh and Jessica" he quickly added on. I laughed.
It was silent for a minute, until I felt a spot of rain trickle down my face. 'go away rain!' I thought to myself. Edward wiped the tear-like raindrop from my face and looked up, to the now grey, murky sky.
"I better go, before I get soaked" Edward said. I wrapped my arms around each other, shivering. How could it go from being really sunny, to almost raining? Forks' weather conditions are weird. I sighed.
"Kay" I murmured. "Say … um hi to Jess for me?" Even though she probably wouldn't care at my polite 'hello'. Oh well.
"Sure, Sure" he nodded. I got my book and ragged blanket and We both walked to the front of the house. Where Edward's red, ostentatious convertible car sat on the drive, next to my red, truck.
"No limo?" I joked.
"Naw. I like to drive my own cars." he said walking over to it and unlocking it, with just a button that he had on his set of keys.
"Show off!" I called. He looked at me over his shoulder and winked. I laughed and ran to the front door.
"Get inside Bella, It's cold. I'll call you!" he said getting in his car now. I nodded and waved. I was about to go inside, but then I heard his car come to life. I turned to face him, I saw him laughing
'Show off' I mouthed at him again, but he just smiled. And then he was gone.

Dear Lauri,
Last night I dreamt over and over that I was getting abandoned. People would come to pick me up to take me home but would leave before I could get to them. - Alison 42, Chattanooga, TN
Lauri: When we dream something over and over like that, it is usually because the dream is connected to a waking life issue or behavior that happens again and again. The act of trying to get home tells me that you are trying to get back to some sort of normalcy in your life, back to a comfortable routine or back to a comfortable mindset. But you keep getting left behind. How in real life are you feeling left behind? Or perhaps the dream is telling you that you can't rely on others right now.
Alison replies: There are a few things I think the abandonment applies to: 1. I wish I could get back to being a smart intelligent woman who can remember things and clearly resolve problems (stupid hormones). 2. I often feel left behind in social situations since so many of the people I know have known each other so long and I am new. So often I feel misunderstood, like they don't "get" me. 3. My mom (whom I can't rely on) and I have very little other familial support.
Fascinating Sleep Fact: Animal studies have shown that animals forced to stay awake at night and sleep in the light develop more malignant tumors and die sooner than animals with normal sleep cycles. Research on humans has also linked years of overnight work among women to higher breast cancer rates, with a similar effect on prostate cancer in men. - IARC

Dear Lauri,
Last night I dreamed that I had locked my 3 or 4 year old nephew (he's 19 and a Marine now) in a cage for 3 days while I went on vacation. When I came back home he was emaciated and his skin was shredded and falling off his bones. I felt so horrible! I tried to feed him and clean him up. I woke up freaking out. Robin 33, Antwerp, OH
Lauri: Your nephew isnt playing himself so dont worry. Our dreams are always about our self and our own life. He probably represents something that you have caged up and neglected, perhaps a fun-loving carefree part of you or maybe some project or idea or endeavor that you have put aside while it was still growing and developing (hence the age of the child in your dream). Your dreaming mind may be using your nephew, the marine, to symbolize this because it is something you need to get militantly disciplined about now that you have decided to get back to it.
Robin replies:
Thank you because I was taking it to a whole other level, thinking it was some kind of warning about my nephew or harm I may have caused him while he was younger. Last year I was going to school, dieting and exercising being very active in my church; just trying to work on me. I had an emergency surgery in January and everything I had been working on I tossed out the window. I've been going back to church and exercising again but the one thing I am having trouble with is going back to school. I failed my GED test in December and have been too anxious, frustrated and angry with myself to go back and try again. When I was working on my personal goals that was when I felt the best about myself. So I think what I neglected is me and the goals I set for myself. Thank you!

Controlling Childhood Asthma
By Janet Zand, n.d., l.ac.,
Q: What is the most effective natural way to control childhood asthma?
A: Sometimes asthma is triggered by substances the child is allergic to, so one of the most important things you can do is figure out what they are and keep your child's environment as free of them as possible. Common triggers include pollen, animal dander, dust, feathers, mites, and household chemicals. (For tips on allergy-proofing your home, see the next question.)
Foods can also bring on attacks. Citrus and whole wheat can be a problem, especially when combined with food dyes and sulfite additives. It's not uncommon for kids with allergies and asthma to have a tendency to get dehydrated, so parents need to make sure they drink lots of fluids.
As far as keeping inflammation in check, essential fatty acids, which are found in evening primrose oil, borage oil, and fish oil, are very effective. You can get all these in supplement form; read the label to figure out the age-appropriate dosage for your child. (If there's no specific dose information on the label, phone the manufacturer to get it.) With fish oils, make sure to choose a brand that's certified as "molecularly distilled," which is less likely to be contaminated with mercury.
Supplementing with magnesium, which dilates the bronchial tubes, can be helpful, too. The downside is that too much magnesium causes a loose stool, so you have to monitor the child carefully. Try giving 100 milligrams three or four times a week for three months. All these natural medicines work best if you rotate them. Try something for a month, see how it affects your child, then try something else.
You might also want to consider your child's emotional state, since childhood asthma often comes along with emotional trauma. Homeopathic remedies can be helpful with this end of things, but I'd recommend a visit with a homeopath, who can tailor the remedy specifically to the child's needs.
Another option, which many kids don't get nearly enough of these days, is regular exercise. Swimming is especially good for kids with allergies and asthma, since the moisture keeps their air passages from drying out, and in time their lungs get stronger. Outdoor pools are best, because the chlorine is better ventilated. (If a child is allergic to chlorine, of course, you're better off giving swimming a pass.)

Santa's awesome, but he doesn't always deliver the hottest toys of the season on demand to Meriden, no matter how nicely we ask.
If the kids – or wannabe kids – in your life happen to have their hearts set on presents that are hard to come by, it can be torturous running from store to store only to find what they really want just isn't available.
Whether your little girl has her sights on the latest Lalaloopsy, your son wants a Hot Wheels R/C Terrain Twister or that "big baby" in your life is yearning for a copy of Halo 4, here are some ideas on how to track down what's in demand without putting miles and miles on your vehicle in the process:
Tips for Shopping in Town
If you hate ordering online and love the gratification of being able to hold the present you're going to give right away, there are some fairly simple moves you can make to do just that and save yourself a lot of hassles in the process.
Here are just a few tips:
- Call ahead – This might seem like a no-brainer, but you'd be surprised at how many people don't think to call ahead to the stores they want to shop at. Even big-box retailers will answer basic questions about what's in stock and what's not. If an item you need isn't in stock, ask when the next shipment is going to be so you can plan on being there.
- Use layaway – There's still time to use this method to hold the items you want for final payment on another day. Stores like Walmart offer layaway with very simple terms. If the items you want are in stock now but you can't afford the full purchase price, this is a great way to make sure you can have what you want when you can pay in full.
- Do Ask, Do Tell – If friends stumble upon the same items you're looking for, ask them where the purchases were made. Also, don't be shy about letting close friends and relatives know what hot items are on your purchase list. They just might find them for you.
- Post what you know here - If you found out when a certain toy will be in a certain store, let folks know in the comments section of this article. Maybe you want to wait until you get what you need, or maybe you just can't wait to share the news. Either way, with the local reach of Patch, this is a great way for us to help each other out.
Finding What You Need Online
Shopping on the net is one of the quickest, simplest ways to locate the items on your shopping list. For toys and other sought-after gifts, some of the best places to look are:
Amazon.com can be an especially useful tool since the site pulls in items and deals from lots of locations. Plus it also offers gently used items, which might fit the bill for some gift requests.

As we move past graduation season, it's time to be looking at tassels of an entirely different nature.
Because of the wet, wet spring, this year's growing season has been one of the most extended planting seasons in over 30 years. That may have some farmer's scratching their heads when trying to plan harvest time.
If you can mark down when your corn fields tassle, it'll help you determine when the harvest dates will be. Check out this short article and guide for more details .
