The arbitration hearing for St. Louis Blues winger Chris Stewart has been set for Monday in Toronto, although both sides can continue negotiating before then trying to reach an agreement.
Stewart, who filed for arbitration earlier this month, led the Blues in scoring last season with 18 goals and 36 points in 48 games. He is coming off a one-year deal that paid him $3 million and had back-to-back 28-goal seasons in 2009-10 with Colorado and 2010-11 with Colorado and the Blues.
The Blues are also still trying to nail down multi-year deals for restricted free agents Alex Pietrangelo and goalie Jake Allen. Pietrangelo, 23, is one of the top young defensemen in the NHL and is coming into his first big contract,
The Blues also have announced their 2013-14 preseason schedule and they will open at 6 p.m. Sept. 15 with a road game against the Dallas Stars.
The schedules also includes 6 p.m. Sept. 18 vs. Tampa Bay at Orlando, Fla., 7 p.m. Sept. 20 at home vs. Tampa Bay, 7 p.m. Sept. 21 at home against Dallas, 7 p.m. Sept. 25 at Minnesota and 7 p.m. Sept. 27 at home against Minnesota.

Tharp can afford to add a mantle to his house to show off the hardware. He and his wife are re-modeling, and once back in Florida, they may have to spend a few nights in a motorhome. Tharp probably won't care where he sleeps, if he can. It may take a few days for reality and his victory to settle in.
The anglers in the championship event were thrown a curve ball with a sudden change in the weather. In practice, the day temperatures were in the mid- to upper-90s. After a cool front hit the Shreveport, La., area, air and water temperatures took a tumble. While the cooler air was welcomed by the anglers, the bass in the Red River made their move.
Tharp said during practice he got 40 to 50 bites a day. On the final day of competition, he had only seven. However, he made those seven bites count by bringing in a limit of five bass tipping the scales at 14 pounds. Tharp held off a hard charging Jacob Wheeler to win by more than four pounds.
The first day it appeared it was going to be a two man horse race with Tharp and South Carolina pro Bryan Thrift both over the 18-pound mark. The third-place angler was back by around five pounds. However, the stingy Red held back and the two leaders managed only around 11 pounds each on day two.
On day three, Tharp managed only a 10-pound sack but moved in the lead over Thrift by a few ounces. By the final day, Tharp made the right decision holding in is main area and picked up a frog. On his first cast with a Spro Bronzeye frog he boated a 3 1/2-pound bass. Tharp was able to increase his weight with a couple more bass from the frog.
The young pro Wheeler made an outstanding effort to finish in the No. 2 spot. He went wire-to-wire last year on Lake Lanier in Georgia to capture the Cup. This year Wheeler was in 40th spot after day one. After his girlfriend poked a little fun at him, Wheeler got serious moving into the top 20 and then the top 10 for the final day.
The Cup victory for Tharp is long overdue. He finished a close second behind Scott Martin in 2011. With only six events over five months, an angler has to be consistent to make it to the Cup. Tharp has proven he is a true champion. An interesting note is there has never been a repeat winner for the FLW Cup in its 17-year history. Could Tharp be the first to break the record?
A tip of the hat to co-angler Richard Peek of Centre. He fished from the back of the boat for two days to take 10th place in the co-angler division at the Cup event and around $4,500 pocket change. Look for Peek next year on the pro side.

The reappearance of Burne-Jones's highly finished drawing
The Days of Creation
is of major importance. Dating from circa 1871, he subsequently translated this superbly crafted pencil study into his celebrated painting of the same title (1872-76, gouache and watercolour on linen; Fogg Art Gallery, Cambridge, Mass), which was unveiled to the public at the Grosvenor Gallery inaugural exhibition in 1877. Like the latter, the present six panels were framed as one, most probably for its original owner Aglaia Coronio (1834-1906), who was a close friend of the artist and mutual admirer. Hidden from public view for many years, it stands as testament to Burne-Jones's mastery as a creative designer, who in his own words wanted to portray "visions and dreams and symbols for the understanding of people." (Georgiana Burne-Jones, Memorials of Edward Burne-Jones, 1904, vol. I, p. 143).
In 1871 Burne-Jones wrote in his autograph work-record (Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge) "designed....the angels holding the circles of creation", which in all probability refers to the present work. A further entry in the artist's work-record for 1872 notes "Began the series of Angels of Creation", which we know relates to the painted version; Burne-Jones returned to the subject in 1875 when he spent "many months of work" on the painting and in 1876 "worked for all the first months on the days of Creation altogether ten months and finished them." Finally the painted panels where arranged within an elaborate Renaissance style frame and in 1877 were shown alongside seven other of the artist's works at the Grosvenor Gallery. The event marked a gap of seven years during which Burne-Jones had refrained from showing at public exhibition. His comeback was triumphant.
The Days of Creation
, also known as
The Angels of Creation
, was heralded a sensation and ensured Burne-Jones's position as a leader of the Aesthetic movement. His painting was purchased by William Graham, one of the artist's most ardent patrons; it was later acquired by Alexander Henderson and also Lord Faringdon before being bequeathed by Grenville Winthrop to the Fogg Collection in 1943. Unfortunately the fourth painted panel was stolen in 1970 and remains missing.
The theme of Creation was one that Burne-Jones frequently returned to and like many of his greatest compositions from the 1870s evolved out of designs for stained glass windows. One of his earliest visualisations of the subject appeared in designs made in 1861 for the rose window at Holy Cross and St. Lawrence, Waltham Abbey. Then in 1863 he executed a series of six designs, for the Dalziel Brothers for their Illustrated Bible. The small landscape orientated gouaches titled
The Seven Days of Creation
(Birmingham City Museum and Art Gallery), show the influence of William Blake; they include images of birds, vegetation, the celestial bodies and Adam and Eve and thus anticipate the present iconography, though compositionally they have little bearing. After visiting Italy Burne-Jones's portrayal of the subject took on a new guise when his angelic figures became more robust and sculptural. Under the influence of Michelangelo, Botticelli, Signorelli, Mantegna and other Renaissance masters, in July 1870 the artist made a series of stained glass designs for his friend William Morris for the tracery in the west window of All Saints, Middleton Cheney, Northamptonshire. Bearing close similarity to the present composition, the six grisaille and gold arched glazed panels portray six Angels of Creation each holding a globe; these were loosely modelled on a tarot card engraving, then attributed to Mantegna, that the artist had seen in the British Museum. Morris later transformed the Middleton Cheney cartoons into coloured glass windows for the east window at St. Editha, Tamworth, Worcestershire, 1874. In between the installation of the two windows Burne-Jones executed the present drawing and began his painting.
Rather than a preparatory sketch for the painted version, the present piece should be considered a semi-independent work, executed as much for the artist's personal pleasure as to mark a distinction between his stained glass designs and a fully completed easel work. However the composition and imagery bear the closest comparison to his painting even though a number of individual details differ - in this respect we can see how Burne-Jones evolved the subject as the years progressed. Both the present panels and those in the Fogg (which are about twice their size) were conceived as a complete picture; in it they portray the story of Creation as described in the first book of Genesis. Each panel shows a central winged angel crowned with a flaming finial holding a crystal globe. In the first light and darkness are divided, in the second the waters separate from the land; this is followed by the appearance of plant life and subsequently, in the fourth, the emergence of the sun, moon and celestial bodies. The penultimate globe shows the appearance of animal life symbolised by a flock of birds, whose wings echo those of the attendant angels. Finally the sixth angel's globe contains man in the guise of Adam and Eve. Beneath sits a seventh angel who plays a winged instrument to represent the day of rest. As the narrative progresses from left to right the seraph from the preceding day joins the next so that in the sixth panel we see all seven. Likewise when it came to the painting, Burne-Jones gradually heightened the colouring, adding greater amounts of gold and platinum to the original blues and greens so that the final day almost glows.
Colour and tone are not the only elements that mark a distinction between the pencil and painted works for by its very nature the present piece is richer in linear description. It also differs in other aspects, for instance the angels' faces are slightly softer than those in the painting. It is said that the model for the latter was William Morris's daughter Jenny (1861-1935), although it is unlikely that she posed for the drawing since she would only have been about ten years old. Among other variations are the details contained within the crystal globes; for instance here, in day one, a dove appears in the light as it separates from darkness while in the painting Burne-Jones simplified the imagery by deleting the bird. Likewise the separation of land and sea, the depiction of the planets as well as Adam and Eve all take on slightly different guises. The stringed instrument held by the seventh angel also varies, the present example comparing more closely to that portrayed at Middleton Cheney. Again like the earlier stained glass the seventh seraph has no flowers while in the painting he is surrounded by roses. Interestingly the depiction of the feathers and wings in both versions is equally intricate yet here there is a greater amount of open space above their wings but conversely more detailing in the rippled water and emerging land on which they stand. Such differences are subtle but inevitable when comparing a painting with a detailed drawing. It was in the latter that Burne-Jones excelled for he was a supreme draughtsman whose linear inspiration was rarely surpassed.
One of the many artistically discerning who admired Burne-Jones's drawings was his friend Aglaia Coronio, the original owner of this piece. She also acquired other of his works including his painting of
The Madness of Sir Tristram
, a study for
King Cophetua
and the
Beggar Maid
and three other studies for
St Catherine
, which like the present piece were all lent by her to the New Gallery Burne-Jones Exhibition, 1898-99. In addition to Sir Edward her close circle included Rossetti and G. F. Watts, both of whom painted portraits of her and her family. She was also a friend and confidante of William Morris (her exact contemporary) with whom she frequently corresponded and likewise was on close terms with Whistler, whose brother William married Mrs. Coronio's cousin Helen Euphrosyne. Known for her formidable intelligence, sound judgement, humour and slight eccentricity, Aglaia Coronio belonged to an influential Anglo-Greek community that played a decisive role in determining artistic tastes in Victorian England. As the eldest daughter of Euterpe née Sgouta and Alexander Ionides, a wealthy merchant, she and her four siblings grew up in the family home at Tulse Hill, which became a meeting place for the artistic and literary elite. Aglaia's eldest brother Constantine shared the family's passion for art and formed an impressive collection (bequeathed to the Victoria and Albert Museum) which included works by Delacroix, Corot, Millet and Degas as well as those by Burne-Jones, Rossetti and Watts. Of her younger brothers Luke and Alexander, known as Alecco, were once both part of the bohemian Whistler/du Maurier set in Paris. Luke, like her, formed a close relationship with Burne-Jones while Alecco (on whom du Maurier based his Greek in Trilby) created a sensational Aesthetic interior for his home at number 1 Holland Park. Aglaia was nearly ten years older than her youngest sibling Chariclea, wife of the musician Edward Dannreuther who founded the Wagner Society.
In 1855 Aglaia Ionides married Theodore Coronio (1826-1903), a successful merchant; their marriage however was not particularly happy. In 1869 the couple moved to 1A Holland Park, next door to Aglaia's brother Alecco, where she raised their two children, Calliope and John, and poured her energies into her intellectual and artistic interests. With striking looks and a personality to match she, with her cousin Maria Zambaco (who had a passionate affair with Burne-Jones) and the artist Marie Spartali Stillman, were known amongst friends as the Three Graces, appearing as a trio in Burne-Jones's
The Mill
(1870-82; Victoria and Albert Museum). Mrs. Coronio was a frequent visitor to both Burne-Jones and Watts's studios, often offering them sound advice. As Lady Burne-Jones later remarked she had "perfect taste" and "helped him [Burne-Jones] a hundred times by finding fabrics and arranging dresses for models" (Georgiana Burne-Jones, op. cit, vol. II, p. 196). It was probably on one such occasion that Aglaia Coronio acquired her
Days of Creation
, most likely as a token of the artist's gratitude for her valued assistance.
By 1906 many close to Mrs. Coronio had died; among them were Rossetti (1882), Morris (1896), Burne-Jones (1898), her brother Constantine (1901) and Watts (1904). Her sense of loss was compounded by the diminishing health of her beloved daughter Calliope, who died on 19th August 1906. Distraught with grief, the following day, Aglaia Coronio took her own life by stabbing herself with a pair of scissors. Three months later her home was sold by Hampton and Son and then on 20-21st November, thirty five of her paintings, twelve drawings, her library and other possessions went under the hammer. A report in The Times (24th November 1906, p. 14) mentioned that "An interesting sale has just been held in Holland-park, by order of the executors of a relative of the late Mr. Alexander Ionides. Some pencil sketches by Burne-Jones varied from 13 to 27 guineas each." The article continued to cite other works from Aglaia Coronio's collection including Burne-Jones's
The Madness of Tristram
(240 gns), his watercolour of
King Cophetua and the Beggar Maid
(290 gns) as well as Rossetti's
Lady with Lute
(£150), a drawing by Albert Moore and a small panel and a portrait of Professor Kairis by Watts.
It appears however that
The Days of Creation
was not included in Mrs. Coronio's deceased sale. Instead it was acquired (most probably just before the sale) by her niece - Zoë Ionides (1877-1973) who was the seventh of eight children belonging to Aglaia's brother Constantine. Like the rest of the Ionides family Zoë grew up within a cultured milieu and as a child had her portrait painted by Watts (later bequeathed to the V&A). In 1911 she married her second cousin Stephen Manuel (1880-1954), son of Sophia née Ionides and Miltiades Manuel. In 1885 her husband's youthful likeness was immortalised by Whistler (his maternal aunt's brother-in-law) in
Arrangement in Grey: Portrait of Master Stephen Manuel
(Freer Art Gallery, Washington, DC). In adulthood Stephen Manuel worked in the civil service as a head in the Raw Materials Department and as an advisor on East Indian hides and skins. He and Zoë had three children, he predeceasing her by two decades. Zoë Manuel died at Woodbridge Suffolk in December 1973. The following September some of her pictures were sold by Phillip's London. Included in her sale was the present work, Rossetti's study for Joli Coeur (which she had inherited from her father) as well as drawings by Edmund Dulac, Arthur Rackham and a pencil portrait by William Strang of Eirene (most probably Mrs. Manuel's daughter).
The Days of Creation
, which fetched £3600 - a considerable figure at that time, was acquired by the Maas Gallery who subsequently sold it to the mother of the present owner. Having remained in private hands for most of its existence the reappearance of
The Days of Creation
cannot fail to arouse considerable interest, not only from Burne-Jones admirers but all who appreciate true beauty.

Remember Me
The only high rise hotel with its great view and comfortable environment. After all, I've a pleasant stay at Grande Ville hotel. The room had a great view and was clean & reasonably well equipped (AC/ TV/)and everything was in working order. Matresses in asian countires tend to be like ironing boards with a towel over them but this matress was very comfortable and the bedding clean and new. The shower functioned perfectly and toiletries and towels were topped up daily.Chinatown is a really interesting place to wander around but it is always incredibly busy and it took our taxi 20 mins just to do the first mile.All in all, for the price you pay, definately a bargain if you're on a budget!From : http://www.agoda.com

USPS policy will ship books to be shredded
By Ashley Rader
The United States Postal Service has delivered some bad news to the Carter County Imagination Library.
A change in national USPS policy that will require undelivered Imagination Library books to be shipped off for shredding will cost the local program books – and possibly on the bottom line.
The local Imagination Library received a letter from Theresa Carl, president of the Governor's Books from Birth Foundation, about changes in the USPS' policy on undeliverable items. Until recently, undeliverable books were returned to the Imagination Library under an old policy allowing undeliverable items to be recycled or given to a non-profit organization.
The revised Postal Service policy requires local post offices to recycle or destroy any item undeliverable due to bad addresses.
Carl's letter said the ruling from the USPS states "The disposal of these items as waste will simplify handling procedures and reduce costs."
CCIL board member Joyce White said the books cannot be returned to the library because they do not have return addresses. First-class mail with return addresses can be returned to their sender; the books are shipped at a lower class rate to save money, and cannot be returned to the individual libraries that send them out.
Elizabethton/Carter County Public Library Children's Librarian and board secretary Ashlee Williams emphasized the decision was not made by the local post offices.

Blue Life Safety Stop Instant Fish Quarantine
Safety Stop is a simple and effective way to help protect your Saltwater and Freshwater aquarium fish from serious unwanted disease outbreaks caused by external parasites, and bacterial and fungal infections. New fish are often the source of infectious diseases that can wipeout an entire aquarium. Be proactive and give your fish a Safety Stop bath to significantly lower the risk of introducing deadly diseases. Protect your investment!!!
Safety Stop also significantly increases oxygen in a new fishes blood stream minimizing stress and helping to keep the immune system strong!
While there is no substitute for extended quarantine of new fish in a separate hospital tank, often it is not practical. We recommend using Safety Stop before introducing the new fish into your main aquarium or into the quarantine tank. For multiple tank owners, it should be used anytime a fish is transferred from one tank to another including all quarantine tanks.
How to use product:
Take fish from fish store directly home without delay. Acclimate fish to the same temperature and pH of the aquarium before performing the Safety Stop bath.
While fish is acclimating prepare the two baths: into clean, non-metallic containers (i.e., a plastic or glass bucket), add one gallon of water directly from the aquarium into each bucket. With scissors, cut the edge of the product packages and pour PART A into the first container and PART B into the second container Monitor for temperature changes.
Gently agitate both solutions with an air stone. Leave the air stones in the container to oxygenate the water when fish is in the bath.
Remove the fish to be treated from acclimation water and deposit in bath PART A for 45 min (30 min if fish has been shipped overnight within the last 72 hours). Keep a loose cover on bath to make sure fish doesn't jump out. Carefully watch the fish for signs of stress during the entire treatment process. Signs of stress include heavy breathing, erratic swimming, rolling, etc. If fish shows signs of stress reduce time and put immediately into PART B bath.
After Part A, transfer fish to Part B bath for 45 min. Continuing to watch for signs of stress. If signs of stress occur, remove before treatment is over, and transfer to quarantine tank or prepared aquarium. Do not put bath water into aquarium. After treatment B is over net fish into aquarium.
Observe fish after introduction to tank to make sure tank mates are not disturbing fish. It is good idea to feed the tank simultaneously while introducing the new fish to keep the resident fish occupied. Keep light levels low for 24 hours after introduction. Bath should be discarded after several hours but can be used on multiple fish within a few hours or at the same time.
This dip protocol is intended for ornamental fish only.
Do not use on invertebrates
Do not use on scale-less freshwater fishes.
Do not use on invertebrates i.e. Corals, urchins, sea stars, snails, crabs
Do not exceed 45 minutes in each bath
Do not use on fish that show obvious signs of sickness.
Solution may stain.
Do not pour dip water into tank
Keep out of reach of children
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.
Do not injest or breathe vapors.

Crusaders to Honor Angie (Porché) Rundh Saturday Afternoon
Thursday, October 24, 2013
The Valparaiso volleyball program will honor one of its all-time greatest players in Angie (Porché) Rundh at its match against UIC at 2 p.m. on Saturday afternoon at the ARC.
Rundh is by far the Crusaders' all-time leader in kills (2,046) and attacks (5,171) and also ranks among Valpo's all-time top-10 in service aces and hitting percentage. The program's first ever All-American, she twice received Honorable Mention All-American honors from the AVCA, as well as earning All-Midwest Region honors twice as well.
A four-time All-League honoree, Rundh was named the Freshman of the Year in the Mid-Continent Conference in 2006 before the Crusaders' move to the Horizon League. She earned Horizon League Player of the Year accolades in 2008 as a junior. Also a success in the classroom, she twice received CoSIDA Academic All-District notice and was a Third Team Academic All-American as a senior. She was a finalist for the 2009 Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholar Award as well.

Ravens Trash Talking Again
posted at 1/14/2013 12:31 PM EST
To a man, the Baltimore Ravens see the Patriots as soft sissies, who run a "gimmick offense"...and who cheated their way to the top. You see, their players never heard an excuse that they didn't like.
Let them go right on, spouting off. The Patriots are well aware of their "opinions". Please Buzzards...keep the trash talk coming: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/01/14/ravens-ayanbadejo-rips-patriots-for-spygate-gimmick-offense/

and the number one reason that the New England Patriots are the crown jewel of the NFL is for the exact opposite way of thinking. they do all their talking on the grid iron.

His complaint is beyond ridiculous. Does he think "Ready, set, hike!" is for both teams?
As for motivation...does BB or TB really need motivation by a backup linebacker at this point in their careers?

The Pats' offense is a gimmick? This is equivalent to a bar room brawler complaining that he just got his butt whipped by a skinny guy who was proficient in the martial arts, because the martial artist used a gimmick (his feet) to smack the brawler in the face, instead of his fists.

It's not just the players. We got back to our hotel in Providence around 11 last night and the kid behind the desk was dressed in a Ravens jersey. My brother brought up the idiot tweets and the punk agreed that the hurry up offense is cheating. His line was that Baltimore ( team and city) was too tough to have to resort to those kinds of 'gimmicks'. I asked him if he'd like us to tell them what play we were going to run too and reminded him that their tough guy act has netted them 1 Lombardy trophy. He had no answer.

I.E. Our QB isn't smart enough to make a read as fast as Brady, so he has to resort to throw the ball up high and hope his WR can make his jump.
posted at 1/14/2013 10:21 PM EST
Phil... Good luck to your team this week... I know this sounds crazy coming from a Steeler fan, but it would be nice to see Brady win another Super Bowl. The guy has been amazing! I think it's going to be the Patriots & the 49er's in the Super Bowl. Would be nice to see both the Harbaugh's go down (when they feel like they are so close!)

Always nice to hear from you Steel C.
We've seen some exciting Games this past weekend for sure but I will always remember the Franco catch at his ankles, against the Madden Raiders with the lead changing 4 times in the last quarter. Now that was exciting to see. I like John Madden but the look on his face was unforgetable.
Yes, your comment about Brady being amazing really started when John Madden said Brady - the rookie - "should take a knee and go into OT". Then said 'Oh I like what he is doing now". That 17 seconds turned into 11 years of Brilliance.
Met Chuck Noll a few times, I knew one of his players.
Wishing you well ...

The big bad Baltimore Bullies are coming to town. The Pats need to smack them right in the nose. Or, being the tricky, gimmicky guys that they are...smack them a wee bit lower! LOL!!

I personally hope we bring closure to the family of the victim that murderer Lewis and his gangsta friends got away with. He pleaded to lesser charge and pointed to his friends who later were aquitted. He was convicted of obstruction of justice for destroying possible evidenceand got 12 Months Probation.
I personally we snap his neck early and he gets carried out on board to the chants NAH Nah Nah HEY HEY Murder Ray.
He is human filth and should be removed from ever contributing to the gene pool so the world will be a better place.
I have never in earnest hoped for injury or harm for an opponent but I hope we snap hisneck but not enough so he goes numb, I want him to feel the pain of his victim did by being stomped and stabbed to death by this gangbanger and posse. I am dead serious this is beyond football people like this ruin neighborhoods,prey on children and elderly and spread fear and hopelessness anywhere they go. I would be happy even if we lost if he is seriously even fatally injured.
Before you criticize just think how you would feel if the man that killed your son got 12 months probation and is now an icon and is going to make millions more and will be on national TV for a few years?

A burning car was found in the parking lot of Sheridan Village around 2 in the afternoon. At first it looked like the car was just overheated, but the color of the smoke, the smell, and the fact that the police officer had a fire extinguisher changed that notion. At first he tried to fight the fire with the extinguisher out of his squad car but called for backup. 2 fire trucks arrived and quickly put it out. The car left on a tow truck around 2:45. No one was hurt.

sorry for the double post btw.
Stage 1:Turn 1
SPOILER! :Tu rn 1
Sedgwick walked down the street, purposely letting his steps make sound while trying to seem like he was failing at stealth. He reached up and scratched his nose under his blindfold. It wasn't that he couldn't see, it was that he hated people seeing his eyes as well as what was right beside them. He carefully surveyed as he walked making note of every fence and tree. His left hand was starting to drift close to his sword, until he checked the impulse.
Was that purple? Sedgwick grinned. "So you finally jacked up Nik." He said. "You stromfaki should have shot me before now." He could tell that there where at least three in front of him, and maybe more behind. "Anthony, shoot those snipers before someone gets me distracted." Sedgwick pleaded silently. It wouldn't matter how good he was if enough people shot at him, he would die.
The snipers prepared to shoot and Sedgwick put his feet in the ready position as he drew his sword. "Almanac," he managed to get out before the bullets started flying. He barely moved to the side and shouted "Himra!" while the bullets bounced of the sidewalk and a mailbox in front of one of the houses.
He was barely dodging the bullets that were flying at him even with the boosts provided by being Root. He noticed that the intervals in between shots were inconsistent with that of a snipers rifle.
"Machine guns? Purple? Ahh crud." He thought as he spun around barely raising his sword to block the oncoming swing of a sword from someone who had managed to sneak up on him.
"Almanac Scar." Sedgwick barely got out as he let go of his sword with his left hand and rammed it into his attackers face. He then turned his head away while his opponents head exploded. While looking for another target, he realized something, no longer just guns, but swords were in use by Nik's forces. Good thing that they seemed to not have hacked past Rob's little toy, or they would have attacked with the little friends that Sedgwick had figured out how to make, and that he was using now.
Bang! Sedgwick turned instinctively, even though if that shot was aimed at him, he would have died already. A flash of purple, and a thud coming from somewhere close to a building that had previously had a sniper on it.
"Sorry it took so long." Anthony's voice buzzed in his ear. "I had to leave some guys to your sister to get here this fast."
Sedgwick tapped his blindfold activating the communicator inside. "It's all good as long as none of our guys are dead, how many are riding my sister then?" He was moving around, hoping the snipers wouldn't get a bead on him.
"Last I saw, there were more there than here. I can take these guys." Anthony answered. Bang! And another thud
"Thanks man. Almanac Himra." Sedgwick looked around, "Ahh purple over there." he broke into a run toward it.
"Your welcome." Anthony replied. Bang! Another thud.
Sarah was running. Where was she running? Away from the gunshots, away from the hooded one with the sword who had rushed by. Away from the battles that raged across the place she used to call home, and away from those that killed her parents. Supplies were getting low, and it would be time to begin raiding the houses and stores close buy for some more food and clean water.
"AHHH!" The man in front of her had a gun in his hand. It was pointed at a hooded girl wearing a trenchcoat, and a sword like the hooded one from before, except her sword was on the left side instead of the right, and that she was kicking the gunman in front of Sarah in the face.
The gunman's face made a crunching sound as it was smashed in by the force of the girls foot which then swung back and knocked Sarah off her feet and into the dirt by a large tree. While by the tree Sarah was able to see that there were two other people who all had guns that they were trying to point at the girl. The girl however didn't seem at all worried, instead she bashed the closest one in the face with her left fist, and drawing her sword to decapitate the man she just hit. Then grabbing the gun from the dead man's hand, and jamming it into the next man's mouth.
"Shine!" The girls screamed with a face horribly contorted with rage, she pulled the trigger and the second man's brain exploded out of the back of his head splattering the woods around them with blood and gray matter. The girl spun on her heel, and as the third man finally pulled the trigger, she smoothly sidestepped and shoved her left elbow into his throat and then stabbed him in his right arm. He dropped his gun, smacked the sword the girl held out of her and and onto the ground. Then he held his throat and tried to step back out of the way, but the girl moved forward pulling out the sheath for her sword, and ramming it into his eye. A wordless scream of pain rent the air as the man's eye was smushed around the girl's sheath. The girl then moved forward and wordlessly crushed his windpipe with her free hand.
The fight over, the girl calmly walked over to her sword and picked it up. Then she walked over the first man and stabbed him in the chest. Trying to take this opportunity, Sarah got to her feet as quickly as she could, and broke into a run as she turned away from the girl with the sword.
As Sarah was in the act of running a sudden tug came from the back of her hood, and the next thing she knew she was flat on her back with one of the girls feet on her chest and the sword that had killed the gunmen at he throat.
"W-w-who a-are y-you?" Sarah asked voice shaking.
"I am Colonel Sandra Sedgwick of TheMachine," The girl replied, "Second in command to Machinist Commander David Sedgwick. Now, tell me who you are and who you are affiliated with. You don't have an accent, and dress like one of the Refused, but appearances can be deceiving." As she said this the girls face was completely blank, but her eyes and voice were filled with some sort of crazy passion, or maybe determination.
"M-my name is Sarah," Sarah answered gaining a bit of control over her voice as she did so. "What do you mean by Refused?"
"Sarah what?" Sandra answered ignoring her captives question.
"Hess." Sarah answered, finally gaining complete control of her voice.
"Alright Hess," Sandra said looking down at her. She then pulled the hood she had been wearing, revealing a headband with something that Sarah could not see at this angle. Sandra tapped the side of the headband and began talking."Anthony, Where's my brother?" Pause. "He's not." Pause. "OK, Sedgwick out. Hess I'm letting you up now. Stay within plain sight, and if you try anything I'll kill you. Do you understand?"
"Don't piss this bitch off, remember that." She told herself as she nodded to Sandra who took her foot of Sarah's chest. Sarah very slowly got up and kept her eyes on Sandra who had tapped her headband again.
Sandra was talking rapidly in what seemed was another language. Sarah caught a few things, such as what sounded like: "Neice-ma" and "Died Joe boo." Eventually she caught a word she knew, "Sayonara." after that was said, she looked at Sarah and said "He's coming."

Stocks closed at session highs Friday, lifted by reports that central banks are prepared to provide liquidity after Sunday's Greek elections and amid growing hopes for action from the Fed in light of some recent disappointing economic data.
Stocks gyrated in a wide range all week, alternating between gains and losses of more than 1 percent for most days, in reaction to various headlines from the euro zone. Still, all three major indexes posted gains for the week.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 115.26 points, or 0.91 percent, to close at 12,767.17, surpassing its 50-day moving average for the first time since early May, led by BofA and Chevron .

All 10 S&P sectors logged gains for the week, led by telecoms and energy.
"[The Greek election] is going to be another kicking the can down the road for a while," said Art Cashin, director of floor operations at UBS Financial Services. "I'm far more concerned about the election in Egypt…[but] the market has ignored many geopolitical risks out there and we've become so obsessed with the Grecian problem that nothing else seems to matter."
Officials from the G20 nations, who are scheduled to meet next week in Mexico, said central banks were ready to take steps to stabilize financialmarkets by providing liquidity and prevent any credit squeeze if severe market strains emerged after Sunday's election in Greece.

"Even if New Democracy ends up winning, unless you find a way to help Greece's economy grow when you abandon austerity, this issue's going to resurface over and over again, leading to increased volatility throughout the year," said Joseph Tanious, market strategist at JPMorgan Asset Management.
Britain is expected pump more than 100 billion pounds ($155.43 billion) into its banking system as it looks to improve the amount of credit being fed through to the real economy, according to the governor of the Bank of England.
Meanwhile, the Bank of Japan kept monetary policy steady but pledged to do its utmost to ensure the country's banking system remains stable if a Greek election this weekend ignites fresh global market turmoil.
European shares closed higher. Spanish and Italian government bond yields eased, while the euro held firm against the U.S. dollar.
Brent crude futures rose near $98 a barrel, extending gains after producer group OPEC agreed to keep its output target unchanged for the second half of the year.

On the M&A front, business-software company Yammer agreed to a takeover bid from Microsoft for $1.2 billion, according to reports.
And China granted conditional approval for United Technologies to take over aircraft parts maker Goodrich in a deal valued around $16.5 billion, saying Goodrich needed to divest or sell parts of some businesses.

Describe what life was like in the New England, Middle, and Southern colonies. Make sure you are including but the social, political, and economic aspects of life in the colonies. *If you copy your neighbor I will give you a failing grade*
In the New England colony, there was fishing and boat building. It was still ruled by England so it was ruled the same way. In the southern colony, women married young and had big families. There was also good agriculture. In the middle colonies, there was freedom of religion. Also, there was different rules as to how it was ruled. All the colonies could only trade with England.
Were the middle colonies the only ones founded for religious reasons? Are you sure the southern colonies is were women married young?
Life in the Colonies was rough. The New England Colonies were establishing a good lumber and ship building industry. While the Southern Colonies were building a large economy based on rice. The Middle Colonies are building a tobacco farming industry. Many of the New England Colonies and the Southern Colonies are having political disputes. All of the Colonies are having to grow most of there own food. They are also dealing with the unfair trading with England. So based on some of these facts i can conclude that life in the Colonies was indeed rough.
Good summary
Life in the New England colonies was full of Puritanism. It also involved much trade by sea. Every walking family member had to do chores. Even though they colonies had poor soil, many families farmed. The settlers believed in covenants as well. The New England colonies were also home to the first constitution in the American colonies, the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut.
Life in the Middle colonies was very diverse, as the Dutch and others settled there first. Much farming occupied the land. The farms were huge, stretching from the suburbs to the sea. Villagers owned large plantations. Cash crops were also used for trade and sell. The tide stretched inland very far, allowing much trade and water travel.
Life in the Southern colonies was very farm oriented. They had multiple crops and fertile soil for farming. Slavery was also very popular, as there were many plantations in the south. The south also held the first successful colony, Virginia. The climate was very warm and damp, also good for farming. The slaves were treated with much cruelty, forced to work non-stop with no rest.
Good summary
I guess on the New England colonies they raised animals. They hunted/gathered. Even though the soil wasn't the best, they still farmed. Most farms were too small or poor to have African slaves.
In the Middle Colonies, people were grouped into 3 main classes, the gentry, the rich, and the best educated. Families contained at least 7 children, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. The houses were made mainly of wood and mud and were considerably small.
Life in the Southern Colonies, people lived in utter poverty. A lot of the southern-colonists died because of mosquito-born illnesses. The average southern man could expect to live no longer than 40 years. Most children died in infancy. Most colonists lived in remote areas, on farms or plantations. Most southerners did not attend church regularly, if at all.
Not bad
In the New England colonies, farming was not the primary way to make a living. Considering the short growing season, farms where small and just to provide for that family. Most jobs consisted of fishing, shipbuilding, and lumber. Their social lives was centered around village events and church. Sunday was the most important day of the week considering most people was very religious.
Life in the Middle colonies consisted of large farms, manufacturing, and religious tolerance. Most people lived in very small houses about ten or twenty miles out of town. Farms gathered wheat, barley, rye, other grains, and fruit. Manufacturing was also very big in the Middle colonies. The manufacturing industry made watches, clocks, guns, locks, cloth, and hats. The middle colonies had many cash crops for trading and selling. There was not many schools, and the colleges were very small.
People that lived in the southern colonies were no strangers to large farms and plantations. The plantations stood on the farmers home, unlike those of other colonies. On the plantation one would find the farmers home, kitchen, a dairy, smokehouse, and much more. Because people lived so far apart, the southern colonies were separated into counties, and each county had a courthouse. The people who worked on the plantations were either slaves or indentured servants. Many people in the southern colonies didn't have money to get servants, and had small farms. So, in their case, they lived off of hunting.
Life in the New England colonies, they were everybody in the family helped with the chores. They had poor soil, but they still farmed and tried to get food to live on. They had a hard and brutal life trying to live. The political life was intermediate, they wasn't rich, but the wasn't poor, they had to strive to get what they had. Life in the New England colonies wasn't all that bad.
Life in the Middle colonies, was ran by the Dutch and the Swedish. Farmers and other people lived about ten to twenty miles out of town. They were they together, but the New York colony disagreed with the New Jersey colony. They had farmers who raised and sold items to make money, they had fishing and ship building also. Life in the Middle colonies was better than others, they had a great way of life.
Life in the Southern colonies, it was poverty. It was mostly rich white people who had large farms with slaves from Africa. They had large homes, in which the "ruler" or the owner lived in. They slaves would stay in sheds to barns. They slave owners would wheel and deal for different slaves. Life in the Southern colonies was brutal because the slaves had a hard way of life, but for the slave owners, they had a good way of life.
The New England colonies the women married young and had large families. Southern colonies is where a lot of stuff like boats was built. The Middle colonies is where a lot of stuff was grown like tobacco. Life was hard in the colonies in the beginning.
New England Colonies
In the New England colonies, every family member that was physically able was required to help with daily chores. Most people farmed in the New England colonies but their farms were mostly too small or too poor to have slaves. The power of the colony was given to adult men. In the middle of most communities there was a Puritan church. This Church was known as a meeting house to talk about things going on in the community.
Middle Colonies
People in the Middle colonies where grouped in three social classes. Homes in the middle colonies were used for everything from work to play. Families in the Middle colonies were generally large with at least 7 children, grandparents, aunts, and uncles. The slaves in the Middle colonies rarely live with the families. The father was always considered the head of the home and the women was only the helper. How people were clothed normally showed their social status.
Southern Colonies
People who founded the Southern colonies made them looking for riches. Where people in the Southern colonies were rich, they had large plantations. With large plantations comes a large amount of slaves. The Southern colonies had the most slaves out of all of the rest of the colonies. Families in the Southern colonies not only had slaves but indentured servants. Indentured servants are illegal aliens that work for families to pay their way into America.
The life in New England was based off of the Puritan religion but over all had a balanced class system mainly made up of a wealthy merchant class. The Middle Colonies again had an genaral class system though instead of merchants it centered around farming and selling crops.The Southern Colonies were ruled by patriarchy. The main religion in New England were the Puritans, in the Southern Colonies it was the Anglican and in the Middle Colonies it was the Quakers. The Economy in New England centered around trade because farming was difficult with all of the rocky unfarmed ground. The main jobs were Fishing, and boat building. In the Southern Colonies it was the crops of Rice and tobacco and cotton. These crops were grown on large plantations owned by rich white people and farmed by black slaves. In the middle colonies the economy was supported by both trade and farming.
Life in the colonies was different depending on the region. In the New England colonies government was still mostly overruled by the king. The New England colonies was a focal point of religious awakening. The economy was centered around ship building and fishing.
In the middle colonies there was freedom of religion. Many people populated the middle colonies because they were tired of being forced to believe in something they didn't believe were right. The middle colonies stretched further inland than the rest of the colonies. The furthest south of middle colonies were ran by tobacco fields as economical leaders.
Life in the southern colonies was very hard. The southern colonies were populated with plenty of slaves to work on the plantations. The economy was fueled by the many plantations that thrived because of the long growing season.
Life in the New England colonies consisted of Carpenders, Shipbuilding, and Coppers. People who lived in the New England colonies didn't have it as hard as the people in the other colonies. Life in the Middle Colonies was a mixture between the New England and Southern. They didn't have it as hard as the Southern Colonies but they had it harder than the people in the New England colonies. The men and boys went to the feilds and worked while the women stayed home and cooked, sewed, and took care of the house. The people in the Southern Colonies had it the hardest. They had a lot of farming to do. Instead of subsistence farming, they commercial farmed because that was their way of working, AND providing for their family.
In the New England colony, there were fishing, hunting, and building. The families grew rye, peas, squash, and pumpkins. They rose chickens, sheep, cows, and pigs. The women made colthing, candles, soap, etc.
In the Southern colony they lived on large farms, or plantations.The plantation was like a small village. The women also married young and had big families.
In the Middle colony they owned large plantations, small lands, and farms. Most of the people lived in small villages or on grand plantations. They had cash crops for trade and sell.
Life in the colonies would be tough because you can not form your own government. England still controlled who they sold their goods too, where they got their goods from, and who is Governor and other positions in office. Also the colonies could only socialize with each other and England. They thought they had freedom when really they didn't. They had to learn new skills to survive. They had to learn how to grow crops, how to fish, etc.
Everybody had to pitch in and help build their new home and/or town. The women worked as hard as the men. Women had to cook meals and make clothes. Some people who came to the Southern colonies just to make money, while others lived in poverty. A lot of people were indentured servants and worked all their life. Even though they worked all their life, they did not have a lot of money because they had debts to pay off.
In New England colony people made money through fishing , shipbuilding , and trading . In the southern colony, their economy was based on plantations. The women got married at a young age and had large families. In the middle colonies shipbuilding, lumbering, and large farms could be found.
Life in the New England colonies were hard. Every person in the family had work to do. everyone had a responsibility. Although, the colony had very poor soil most of the people still farmed what they could. Most of the farms were to small for slaves.
People in the Middle colonies were generally grouped into three groups : the gentry, the middle and lower class. Houses were usually built for work and play. The father was considered the leader of the house and his wife was his helper. Slaves rarely lived with the families in the middle colonies. They didnt not have very good clothes unless you were in the gentry class because you could afford clothes.
People in the southern colonies lived on large farms or plantations. The plantations were like a small village.the plantations were far apart. they were divided into counties. some people owned indentured servants from England who promised to work for money and a place to live.
New England Colonies:The social life in the New England Colonies was hard. The social life was hard because the colonies were crowded and the amount of people made life hard. The political life in the colonies was ruled by someone chose by England. So you could not vote for who you wanted. The economic look in the colonies was based around the Atlantic Ocean. The people fished, built ships, and used water for trade, because the rocky soil and short growing season made it impossible to grow crops.
Middle Colonies: The social life in the middle colonies was better than the life in the New England Colonies because the population was not as dense, but in the middle colonies we had slavery. The political life in the colonies was a bit better than in the New England Colonies as well because the people could vote for who they wanted to be the leader. The economic life in the colonies was different than in the England colonies because they farmed. They farmed in subsistence ways which is enough for your family.
Southern Colonies: The social life in the southern colonies was hard because the southern colonies was for the poor and prisoners. The political was like the one in the Middle the people could vote for their leader. The economic life was also like the Middle they farmed by using slavery.
If you lived in the New England colonies you could work as a ship builder, fisher, or trader. You did not get to pick your leader and it was crowded.
The middle colonies manufactured a lot of goods. they also had large plantations to grow crops
southern colonies had large plantations of tobacco and other crops which hey used slaves to work. They also had jobs on the ocean

Durham >Lodging > Washington Duke Inn & Golf Club
3001 Cameron Blvd, Durham, NC | Directions 2770535.993252 -78.948337
Daily 24 Hours
Pleasant until... Horrific attitude – my experience with this hotel was pleasant until the end of my stay. on 9/28 I sent my stained suit trousers to dry clean using the hotel's valet service, but I was stupid to assume that it is high quality and trustable. on 9/29 I received my trousers back, not only the stain was not fully cleaned *but also* the pants had white lint-like fluff all over the fabric. immediately I knew that the trousers was irrecoverable, because I had the exact same pants which I mishandled by throwing it into the washing machine instead of dry clean and ended up with white fluffs all over it, and couldn't be undone so I had to throw it away. the pants that I sent to laundry at Washington Duke Inn is the second pair I *just* bought, obvioulsy the valet service did not handle it well. I immediately told the hotel staff about it, and they mentioned they could send it back to the valet and try to *fix* it. on 9/30 I got the pants back and as expected the white lint-like fluff is still obvious on the pants. I put on my suit and the fabric of my pants doesn't match that of the suit anymore. any man who had worn suits before would know that the fabric is the life of a business suit, and even slight mishandling would ruin it. now I am left with another ruined pants that cost me couple of hundred dollars *twice* and a suit jacket that is missing pants. I am so glad I did not send in my suit.
this was not yet the most agitating thing. when I took it up to the manager on 9/30, to sum up his excuses – we don't do laundry so we don't take responsibility of what the valet service did, we don't know whether the pants were in good shape before it was sent to valet, the white stuff is not that obvious afterall. how ridiculous it is to see an upscale hotel rated #4 out of 40 in Durham blame its suppliers for poor service *in front of* the customer, it is just like blaming Panasonic for a broken TV, the labor market for unskilled waiters, the sky for raining. if you look on the valet slip they provide the hotel logo is on it. and why in the world would I complain if I didn't notice a difference on my pants, shows how ignorant to customers this hotel is. at least I would've expected a satisfactory answer such as "yes this is our fault, we will contact valet to investigate and see if something can be done" instead of some ignorant and fault-less response. when I was so done with the manager I wanted to speak directly to the director, knowing that I am checking out the early next day I left my phone number that night, but no one ever called. that night I demanded to speak with the director to get this sorted, but was refused. this is how the hotel show dedication to customer service, made a mistake, no problem just think of some excuse and get away with it. they even dare to charge my valet the next day I checked out, why not attach a slip saying "$6.00 cash or credit please pay for getting your pants ruined".
From the fancy teas to playing 18 holes, this hotel provides the ultimate escape. – In Short
The inn--where celebrities stay when lecturing at Duke--is reminiscent of an English country manor with dark woods, floral prints and European art. The elegance continues throughout its 271 guest rooms and suites decorated with rich fabrics complemented by cotton linens and antique furniture. A minibar, an electronic safe, English toiletries and cable TV are in every room. Inn guests can also can dine at its three restaurants, including the notable Fairview overlooking the golf course.
It was the Duke, it was the Duke... – I'm not quite sure what I expected, but I was completely blown away! Everything about the place was top notch. Th luxury of ordering from the 4-star restaurant, while dining in a lounge area, while sitting in front of a roaring fire was great. My only complaint about the room was the shower pressure could have been stronger. Another nice touch is allowing Duke University students to use their college charge cards at the restaurant. Not a bad place to make a great impression on the opposite sex.
Excellent – I would recommend the Washington Duke Inn to anyone. The service was the best I had. The dinner was excellent. Service was by far the best I have seen in any hotel/inn.
Critic – Excellent hotel with top quality service and amenities. Excellent hospitality and the Fairview restaurant is superb! I recommend you stay for a few nights. The Duke campus is near by and the museum has the lastest exhibition and calendar of events. Many fine restaurants within a 10 mile radius, and great Concierge service. A golf course open to the public with an excellent proshop. Take a tee!
