"No doubt a youth who received impressions cautiously, whose love was lukewarm, and whose mind was too prudent for his age and so of little value, such a young man might, I admit, have avoided what happened to my hero. But in some cases it is really more creditable to be carried away by an emotion, however unreasonable, which springs from a great love, than to be unmoved. And this is even truer in youth, for a young man who is always sensible is to be suspected and is of little worth — that's my opinion!"
Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov [Part III, Book VII, The Breath of Corruption, 698]

Perspective: Mosul under siege
A U.S. helicopter flies over Mosul, Iraq's third-largest city.
"If you go in the streets by yourself, you'll be dead in 15 minutes," says Khasro Goran, the deputy governor of Mosul, the second largest Iraqi city. An able, confident man, he speaks from experience, having survived more assassination attempts than almost any political leader in Iraq. The one-hour car journey to Goran's office from the Kurdish capital, Arbil, underlines the dangers. He has sent guards, many of them his relatives, to pick me up from my hotel. They travel in slightly battered civilian cars, chosen to blend in with the rest of the traffic, wear civilian jackets and T-shirts, and keep their weapons concealed.
We drive at great speed across the Greater Zaab river, swollen with flood water, into the province of Nineveh, of which the ancient city of Mosul is the capital. The majority of its 1.8 million people are Sunni Arabs and one third are Kurds, along with 25,000 Christians. Arabs and Kurds have been fighting for control of the city for four years. Every day brings its harvest of dead. "Five Kurds were killed here yesterday," says one of the guards dolefully.

About Buffalo Wild Wings
Do you and a group of friends want to get out the house, watch games on TV, and have a delicious meal, too? Stop by Buffalo Wild Wings, where they're all about "wings, beer, and sports". The first Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant opened in 1982 in Ohio under the name Buffalo Wild Wings & Weck. The founders, Jim Disbrow and Scott Lowery, were inspired by a trip in Buffalo, New York, and were disappointed that the delicious wings they ate there couldn't be found anywhere else. Today, it has over 1080 locations internationally, including the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the Philippines. In addition to buffalo wings, they also serve burgers, sandwiches, salads, appetizers, and even kids' meals. Whether you're a partying college student or someone wants to relax after a tough day at work, Buffalo Wild Wings is the place where you can have tasty food, cold drinks, and cheer on your favorite sports team.

Pow 10: Possible Patches
Problem Statement:
The story in this POW goes that there is a girl named Keisha that is making a patchwork quilt, it will be made of rectangular patches. Keisha finds a piece of satin that's dimensions are 17in by 22in. Our goal is to try to get the most from the piece of satin, in other words try to get as many rectangular shapes from her piece of satin. The rectangular shapes have to be 3in by 5in. Check out http://minorleaguegamer.com
The methods used on this problem: In this problem I took both a geometrical and mathematical approach to the problem. My first method was to divide up each side so that I could get as much rectangles on each side, for example for the side with 22in I would type this in to my calculator: (22 – 5 – 5 – 3 – 3 – 3 – 3 = 0) I did not find this out at first, it took a while till I got the correct amounts of "3s" and "5s" to subtract from the "22" that would equal "0" because I wanted to be efficient and fill up as much as a I could in that line. I did the same thing for the side with 17in. However I noticed that when I moved on to the next question in the POW it asked me to try different sized rectangular shapes, that's is when I noticed that I could not make it equal "0" so I just settle for the smallest number I could get. The second method I used to try to figure out this POW was to; after I filled the sides with shapes, fill in the middle by, just like in the first method, dividing the remaining spaces and trying to get the most out of the remaining space. The third method was a way of checking that there was no more pieces I could use, what I did was I counted how much spaces where left, then counted how many spaces it took to fill up the rectangle. If the amount of spaces left exceeded the amount it took to fill the rectangle I would double-check to make sure there wasn't another I could put in there by rearranging the shapes in a different way. However with other sized shapes...

I've been meaning to find a little time to jot down some of the impressions I got at Women's Conference last week. I always love going to those. I'm not sure if the speakers are always that amazing, or if I just feel that way because I'm finally able to enjoy listening to one all the way through without being distracted by rambunctious children. I'm gonna split my vote on this one.
This year, our speaker was Curtis Jacobs, an Institute teacher at Utah State, and noted EFY speaker. Though he normally reserves his time for the youth, and various Multi-Stake functions, he happens to be the uncle of a good friend in our ward and as a favor to him, took time from his busy schedule to come speak to our somewhat sparse little Stake.
The theme of his talk was 'Balancing It All.' (For those of you who read the earlier post about me juggling my purse, keys, bowl of pasta, then tumbling down the stairs on my way to this function can now laugh at the irony.)
I admit that I struggle with balancing my life. My priorites seem to shift daily, and with each new situation that arises. Because I'm so UNbalanced, there are a lot of things in my life that lack my attention (housework, for one), and others that get too much (blogging, for one). I'm completely aware of this, but haven't had the energy or motivation to change this sad fact. I think I may have found my motivation in some statistics Bro. Jacobs gave. It was a real eye-opener.
Over 90% of members of the church believe that prayer is important.
Only about 33% of members of the church pray daily.
Over 90% of members of the church believe that the answers to life's questions can be found in the scriptures.
About 33% of members of the church read their scriptures occasionally.
About 20 % of members of the church read their scriptures somewhat often.
About 11% of members of the church read their scriptures daily.
So often, our actions do not reflect our beliefs. Me included. I think I just get so caught up in the busyness of life that I fail to do those things that I KNOW are most important. I am so good about studying my scriptures when I have a lesson to prepare or a talk to give, and at those times, I feel as though I am truly feasting on the word. But when I don't have a calling or a "reason" to study, I'm less likely to put in the time or effort. The same can be said about prayer, which is why I'm intrigued by something I found just today in a talk by Henry B. Eyring from 2001.
"If we become casual in our study of the scriptures, we will become casual in our prayers. We may not cease to pray, but our prayers will become more repetitive, more mechanical, lacking real intent. Our hearts cannot be drawn out to a God we do not know, and the scriptures...help us know Him."
My scripture study lately has consisted of reading one chapter each morning with the kids before school starts. That's it. Not exactly a daily learning experience. It also gives a clue as to how my prayers have been feeling lately. Clearly I have work to do in that department. I know I must do better, and I know I need to rearrange a few things in order to make that happen. I'm encouraged by this quote by Stephen R. Covey, "The key is not to prioritize our schedule, but to schedule our priorities." This really hit home with me, and I'm once again realizing that I MUST get up before the kids to pray and study the scriptures. If I don't, it WILL NOT HAPPEN. My actions must once again reflect my priorities, and I'm committed to make it happen.
I'm acutely aware that I don't have enough hours in the day to accomplish all that I would LIKE, or even feel that I NEED to accomplish. I'm willing to let some things go. The hard part will be figuring out what those things are. Martin Luther puts things into perspective in this way, "I have so much to do today, that I shall start with three hours of prayer." Not that I think all busy days require the precursor of a three hour prayer, but what a testament to the importance of communing with the Father!
I came away from Conference, knowing that the Spirit had impressed some things upon me, not just to have a nice record of, written in my journal, but to be acted upon, and I fully intend to do so.

Hmm...well it's not the most inspired outfit and you've seen it before but I needed to do TONS of laundry and so this is what I ended up throwing on. Don't know if I need to lose a few more pounds or if the pose is just weird but my jeans look a bit tight here! Eeek! You'll notice I have finally found a replacement for my stinky nasty black flats from Dunnes (yay and eww!). These are from Penneys and actually cost more than the ones from Dunnes, go figure. They still aren't as good as the other ones but at least I have my basic black flats now :D
Top: New Look, Jeans: Topshop, Shoes: Penneys
I also spent the afternoon making these yummy chocolate cupcakes while Rory was napping. I added a little bit of vanilla flavouring to the mix which I think helped them stay really moist. They were amazing if I do say so myself!

I highly recommend going with the local DSL which is faster and has not gone down once since I moved down here. I am working in a local bakery that allows me to use their wireless network…i am looking forward to having our home offices set up. This bakery/office stuff is for the birds.

OTTAWA — More than two-thirds of Canadians want marijuana laws softened, says an opinion poll conducted for the federal government.
And while a small majority believes companies should not be permitted to sell marijuana just as they sell alcohol and cigarettes, it's clear many people have no problem with the proposition.
Among the poll's highlights:
- 37.3% say marijuana should be legalized;
- 33.4% want possession of small amounts of marijuana decriminalized, leading to a fine rather than a criminal record;
- 13.7% say the marijuana laws should stay the same;
- 12% want penalties increased.
The results of the national survey of 3,000 people, commissioned by the Department of Justice, will add fuel to the debate that is heating up before the 2015 election.
The Liberals under Justin Trudeau want marijuana legalized so its sale is regulated, making it harder for youths to obtain.
The Conservatives say such a change would lead to more kids smoking marijuana. Instead, the government is considering allowing police to fine anyone caught with small amounts of the drug.
Ottawa hired Ipsos Reid to conduct focus groups and an extensive poll to gauge Canadians' views on hot-button issues such as marijuana and prostitution.
The results were posted online Wednesday.
"The government of Canada wanted a clear and current understanding of the Canadian public opinion on a range of justice issues," said the report.
"This research was conducted to provide insight into the views, concerns and priorities of Canadians on criminal justice issues."
The poll, conducted Jan. 30-Feb. 7, found respondents were divided about how the government should legislate on prostitution. In June, Justice Minister Peter MacKay introduced contentious legislation to prohibit buying sex from prostitutes. It also bans sex workers from selling their services near schools, playgrounds and daycare centres.
Critics say the bill is deeply flawed and will eventually be struck down by the courts.
By comparison, the poll suggested Canadians are not happy with the status quo on marijuana.
Many of them don't think legalization would increase pot-smoking: 52.6% believe marijuana use would "stay about the same" if legalized, 38.4% say it would increase and 6.3% say it would decrease.
If marijuana is legalized, it is unclear how it would be distributed and who would be allowed to sell it.
To the question, "should companies be allowed to produce and promote the sale of marijuana just like tobacco and alcohol?," 55.6% said no and 42.4% said yes.
However, 82.9% of respondents believe doctors should be allowed to prescribe marijuana to patients — something that is now allowed.
The pollster also organized 14 focus groups of 10 people each to discuss the issue in depth.
Most focus-group participants supported leaving the law alone or fining people with small amounts of marijuana so they would not have a criminal record.
There was some support for legalization in focus groups held in British Columbia, but elsewhere there was "very little support."
Deputy Liberal Leader Ralph Goodale said Wednesday the poll shows Canadians don't believe the current marijuana laws accomplish their "public policy objectives."
"The status quo is obviously failed policy," he said.
"That's clearly recognized by the vast majority of Canadians. They come to some different conclusions about what exactly to do about it, but clearly they want change."
Mary Ann Dewey-Plante, a spokeswoman for Mr. MacKay, said Mr. Trudeau would "fully legalize recreational marijuana, which would make it easier for kids to buy and smoke in their neighbourhoods, like cigarettes today."
The Liberals want to make smoking pot "a normal, everyday activity for Canadians. We, on the other hand, want to protect children and teens from the harmful effects of smoking pot on their health and development."
She reiterated the government is considering a proposal by the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police to allow police to fine those caught with small amounts of marijuana.
The Canadian debate over marijuana legalization sharpened this week after a New York Times editorial called for Washington to repeal its 44-year ban on pot.
The newspaper, which says the decision should be left to individual U.S. states, has reignited hot debate among Americans.
It concluded the ban has inflicted "great harm on society just to prohibit a substance far less dangerous than alcohol."
Some U.S. states have already reformed their pot laws. Colorado has allowed the sale of marijuana for recreational use since Jan. 1 and Washington followed suit this month. Oregon and Alaska will vote on the matter in November.
The Ipsos survey of 3,000 adult Canadians was conducted between January 30 to February 7, 2014 and has a margin of error of 1.8 percentage points.

The title Look Mom, No Hands really captures the essence of what the trio is about:
She's Got the Look is a "model competition for women over 35."
If you questioned Mom about her driving, she might stop you with what we called The Look -- a withering glare that left me and my siblings unable to speak or even think.
The booklet was produced in 1950 and the writing has what I call a "Look, buddy" tone , as in "Look, buddy, here's what you gotta be ready for."
And like playing a high-stakes game of Twister, you stumble and fall as often as you get what I call The Look, The Grumble or The Conversation full of exclamation marks about, well, everything.
Look, Look is there a black police officer in the picture?
Look is what our eyes do, see is what our brains and hearts do.

Less attention has gone lately to the fictionalized account given by Wolfe in Look Homeward, Angel.
Wolfe writes in Look Homeward, Angel that the stand-in for his brother, a character also named Ben, lay in his bed, the outline of his body "bitterly twisted below the covers, in an attitude of struggle and torture."
Declassified concentrates on special effects and how they filmed it, with appearances by director Euros Lyn; Inside Look is a clip show that has Myles, Barrowman, and other actors talking about the characters.

Those faint hopes of returning home one day, mind, may be optimistically expressed while with little realistic prospect of fulfilment for quite some time - especially as the West continues to stall and Bashar Assad to tease.
Travels to sparsely-constructed, densely-packed Syrian refugee hideouts in Lebanon last autumn included encounters with youngsters forced to leave their homes with dead parents left behind – and families agonised by accidentally-abandoned children.
Which makes it all the more distressingly astounding that many families might be putting their already-fragile lives in danger by venturing back into Syria's badlands – even, sometimes, several times a week.
Yet that is the case for so – and too – many of the estimated 1million-plus Syrian refugees finding at least some shelter in neighbouring Lebanon, as revealed today by Amnesty.
Sick and wounded Syrian children who managed to escape the civil war-torn country are being forced to return due to a lack of help elsewhere.
The influx of refugees into neighbouring Lebanon has now become so great that many hospitals are turning away those in need.
The new report out today reveals one in ten Syrian refugees could be travelling back across the border to the land they left behind, in desperate search of medical treatment.
These include families with cancer-afflicted children, or those who have suffered severe burns, bullet wounds or kidney failure, Amnesty found.
Some are even shuttling back and forth, as often as twice a week, for continuing treatment such as kidney dialysis.
They are risking their lives in the face continuing bombardment of towns and cities by President Assad's regime fighting rebel forces.
Amnesty International investigators found distressing cases such as that of 12-year-old Arif, suffering from severe burns and infections to his legs.
He only qualified for five days' worth of treatment funded by the UN Refugee Agency, under UNHCR's current guidelines - and still needs another 13 operation.
These cannot be carried out in Lebanon due to a shortage of specialist equipment, according to today's 36-page report named 'Agonising Choices'.
Other Syrian refugees pondering possible trips back to their homeland include cancer sufferers unable to afford - or find - the treatment they need in Lebanon.
More than 1million registered Syrian refugees are now living in 4million-population Lebanon, though aid agencies believe many more are there unknown to authorities and agencies.
The official tally is expected to reach 1.5million by the end of this year, loading more pressure on Lebanon's undeveloped facilities.
The country's health system is privatised and expensive, leaving many Syrians dependent on UNHCR help.
Yet while the United Nations has appealed for £1billion support for Lebanon this year, only 17 per cent of the necessary aid has been provided.
Even those refugees who meet the tight criteria for who receives hospital treatment still have to pay one-quarter of the costs themselves.
Some 11 per cent of 3,170 refugee families recently surveyed by UNHCR said they had returned to Syria for medical reasons.
One father told Amnesty he and his nine-year-old leukaemia suffered son have to pass through ten checkpoints between their Bekkaa valley refuge in Lebanon and a hospital in Syrian capital Damascus.
Amnesty International's Audrey Gaughran said: 'Hospital treatment and more specialised care for Syrian refugees in Lebanon is woefully insufficient.
'Syrian refugees there are suffering as a direct result of the international community's shameful failure to fully fund the UN relief programme.'
The UN is appealing overall for £4billion for the Syrian relief effort this year, having received only about 70 per cent of the £3.2billion deemed necessary in 2013.
Britain's contribution is at least admirable enough, with Justine Greening and her Department of International Development among the most insistent that more must be provided.
The UK was last year's third largest donor, offering £231.2million – almost £6million more than Germany, France and Spain combined, and behind only the US (£694.4million) and the European Commission (£356.2million).
Other major powers have been so stingy as to be laughable, were the situation not so grave – including Russia and China, resolute UN Security Council opponents of meaningful anti-Assad sanctions or aid access improvements.
Those two are now obstructing moves to refer the Syrian regime to the International Criminal Court for alleged war crimes – having previously helped Assad play the West by appearing to make chemical weapon concessions, even as conventional rockets and bombs keep raining down.
Figures released earlier this week suggested at least 160,000 people have been killed since the uprising against Assad three years ago and his regime's crackdown in response.
Some 9.3million people are thought to have lost their homes and be in urgent need, whether still stuck inside Syria or streaming into neighbouring nations – only now intermittently returning, it seems.
A country – no, a region – in chaos can perhaps seem too weighty and complex a problem to try solving, yet for all the mealy-mouthed words offered by the rest of the world a little more direct pressure and help might just be more welcomed.
By those inside or outside Syria, or somehow just about surviving adrift in-between.

Test surfed 210 and x10 today
Both great boats. I really liked the layout of the x10, but I really liked the surf set up of the 210. Wave was very close. Both steep and long wave, but x10 needed a lot more weight than the 210. Both within 5k of each other. Tough choice, leaning a bit 210 but I've always been a MC guy. I'm thinking that my brand loyalty is making my choice tougher than it should be for my family's needs. They handled well in rough water. The MC finishing was a bit better IMO and I'm very comfortable with MC controls.
Dealer did confirm a G21 coming this year. I just don't have the $ for one, nor the space or boatlift capacity. They figured it to be in the 5400 dry weight and 115K CDN range.
Its a toy. I think you've got to follow your heart.
Plus, with Martin Motorsports there now, you know you've got a dealer with a great service track record.
Stick with what feels right - go with the MC. You can always add weight, but you can't add fit/finish. The new MC dash and interiors are the best on the market right now, IMO.
2014 210?
the new cc 210 have been added to their website. looks pretty close to there last 210.
don't take this wrong, I know the wake and quality of the boat is important but I just cannot get on board with the looks of all nautique boats.
my next boat will either be a x25, x30 or for surf only a centurion enzo. and I doubt the enzo will happen.
Two great boats. This is the definition of a first world problem. I haven't been in the new model of either, but recent models are both amazing. Sacrilege I know, but boats of very comparable quality. Check with the family, they'll tell you which one.
yeah its a 2014 210. I really liked them both. I guess I can't go wrong really. The CC dealer is very good though. How much weight does that actually have for you guys. Dealer vs dealer, hands down the CC
The dealer is huge to me. The warranty is only as good as the dealer doing the service.

Second Things Second: I would normally apologize at this point for my uses of the words "butt" and "ass". However, as you presumably noted in the "First Things First" section, ID has already been checked so, in my opinion, no apologies are necessary. I might throw one in for good measure later on, but I haven't decided yet.
Ok. Let's get down to business!!
Beer Ice Cream??? YES. Stout, in fact.
The Handsome Husband is a beer snob. That means that by proxy, so am I. I love the stuff. The GOOD stuff. So when I'm going to make beer ice cream, I'm not going to use just any beer. No Guinness here, folks! No, siree! And what's great about that is that when you use a really good stout, you don't need to add the molasses or vanilla beans or anything to flavour it up. The beer does it all. And so it should.
The reason that this is part 1 of an unintentional 2 part series is that, well... ok, you know how when you have a recipe there is the ingredients list and then the method? Well, let's just say that the method part of this recipe didn't really go that smoothly. Things were going great and then I left the beer/cream mixture on the stove while I left the kitchen for a minute. DON'T DO THIS. It's bound to end in catastrophe. I came back into the kitchen to find my mixture boiling over everywhere. There was screaming and running and even some crying and yelling. But I managed to pull it together, salvage what was left and continue.
In the end, the ice cream got made. But it was a little on the "icy" side. After the boiling over drama my head just wasn't in the game and I didn't cook it long enough. Anyway, the flavour was delicious (H.H. loved it) even thought the texture was something other than smooth. So, I will have to make it again. And that, my friends, will be the part 2 of the 2 part series. See? Totally unintentional.
You can find the original recipe here, and of course you'll notice that I omitted the cocoa. I chose Brooklyn Brewery's Black Chocolate Stout for this ice cream adventure.
2 cups whipping cream
2 cups craft brewed stout of your choosing
1 cup sugar
8 egg yolks
Bring cream and stout to a boil in a heavy-bottomed pot. In a large bowl, mix sugar and eggs, blending thoroughly and make sure you don't leave the kitchen. Add a small amount of the stout cream to the bowl, whisking quickly to temper the eggs. Add egg mixture to the pot and cook custard until thick (!), whisking constantly. Cool mixture and then process in an ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Stay tuned for Beer Ice Cream: Part 2 of an Unintentional 2 Part Series coming soon and see how it all turns out. I have no idea when, but soon-ish. I promise.
And I'm sorry, but I have decided not to apologize after all.
Disclaimer: This is not a paid review. We just like this beer. Also, please note that if you don't like this beer, chances are you're not going to like the ice cream. Therefore, I, the blogger, am not, nor will I be, liable or responsible for any damages you my incur due to the taste-buds, functioning or otherwise, on your tongue.

Wet spring weather may have prevented you from planting alfalfa before you jumped into planting corn. But you do have some planting alternatives, says University of Nebraska forage specialist Bruce Anderson.
He says, "Normally, I want alfalfa planted by mid-May on dryland sites and by the end of May under irrigation in Nebraska. Planting later greatly increases the risk of hot, dry, windy weather killing new seedlings before they have enough root system to support the moisture needs of the plants."
But, Anderson acknowledges that planting by those deadlines was difficult this spring. If you are stilling trying to get alfalfa in the ground, he suggests one way to plant more quickly is to seed no-till. Crop residues of corn, milo, beans, and small grains are not a problem for most drills, but ridges along the rows can make the field too rough for comfortable hay making in some places.
Weeds can be controlled post-emerge using herbicides like Poast Plus or Select for grasses and Buctril, Pursuit, Raptor, and Butyrac for broadleaves. Mowing weeds also helps. A burndown spray using Roundup or Gramoxone before planting may be needed if weeds already are present.
If you can't plant by late May, it often is best to wait until August rather than seed alfalfa just before hot weather, Anderson says. But you may need to plant something to meet your hay needs.He says lternatives include sorghum-sudan hybrids and foxtail millet. Specifically, Anderson says foxtail millet won't regrow after an early August hay, so it may work best. Sorghum-sudans will need to be sprayed or tilled before an August alfalfa planting. Berseem clover, any of the summer annual grasses like cane, pearl millet, and sorghum-sudan, or even soybeans for hay could be used if you decide to wait a full year before trying to plant alfalfa again next spring.

Antibiotics Developer Octagon Therapeutics Closes Financing, Adds Thought Leaders
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Feb. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Octagon Therapeutics, a preclinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing antibiotics for multi-drug resistant infections, today announced the formation of a Scientific Advisory Board and the successful completion of a Seed Financing. Octagon's drug discovery platform, based upon work done in Fred Ausubel's lab at MGH, focuses on the identification of novel metabolic pathways that power pathogenic bacteria. Using this platform, Octagon has identified promising small molecule inhibitors of these critical targets in resistant bacteria. In addition to Dr. Ausubel, Octagon's Scientific Advisory Board now includes Dr. Jim Collins (MIT), Dr. Eric Brown (McMaster University), and Dr. Eletherios Mylonakis (Brown University).
Bacterial infections have become a public health crisis, as resistance to current antibiotics has been spreading at a worrisome rate. A number of global health organizations have sounded the alarm, highlighting the need for new medicines as the last novel class of antibiotics was developed more than 30 years ago. This year resistant infections will claim more than 700,000 lives globally and, if current trends continue, will rival cancer as a leading cause of death.
"Our efforts are focused on novel approaches to antibiotic discovery, which will enable Octagon to develop new medicines to combat antibiotic-resistant infections. Targeting bacterial metabolism presents a new therapeutic strategy and Octagon's SAB now includes world leaders in this field," said Fred Ausubel, Octagon's scientific co-founder.
Octagon's lead program is based on the optimization of an older medicine, which has previously been shown to be safe in man as well as effective for an unrelated indication. Identified with Octagon's discovery platform, this compound has shown a high level of activity against resistant Gram-negative pathogens in animal infection models, including Acinetobacter baumanii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, regarded as among the hardest to treat bacterial pathogens.
Octagon was incorporated in 2016 after obtaining exclusive access to foundational intellectual property developed at MGH. The company is focused on treating infections caused by the most dangerous "ESKAPE-group" bacterial pathogens. Octagon has established R&D operations at the Pagliuca Life Lab, and has now closed a financing for an undisclosed amount from a group of angel investors and family offices. "This Seed financing will allow Octagon to expand the scientific team and to accelerate preclinical development activities" said President and Chief Operating Officer, Isaac Stoner. "We are fully committed to the discovery and development of first-in-class antibiotics."

Malik McDowell - Sam Webb update on WTKA
I missed part of the update, but from what I heard, Sam said Michigan is DEFINITELY not out of it. He said he couldn't go into details, but he said MSU definitely has issues to overcome and there are factors heavily in favor of Michigan. He said OSU is also making a late run since Larry Johnson was hired. He felt they had no chance before. No one has any idea who the real favorite is but he emphasized strongly that Michigan is still in contention.
Edited: Upon replaying the podcast Sam said it was clear then changed it to pretty clear that his parents said it wouldn't go past signing day but then said it wasn't likely.

A couple thoughts about epoxy and red oak.
- Isn't soaking up red oak with epoxy a false economy? As in, wouldn't it just be cheaper/more efficient to get more rot resistant material to start with and not have to pickle it with a really expensive two-part goo? There's no shame in letting a wooden boat be a wooden boat. I don't get the point of putting epoxy on everything. It's not paint. It's for adhesion.
- Wizbang made an interesting point on another thread about using red oak for laminations ... the red oak soaks up epoxy and glues well. If it's encapsulated then its sponge-like open cells aren't such a big deal, I suppose, and they might even be considered a pro.
- Wizbang's gonna do what Wizbang's gonna do. I've always liked that.

Annie Dillard Quotes About RunningQuotes about: Running
It has always been a happy thought to me that the creek runs on all night, new every minute, whether I wish it or know it or care, as a closed book on a shelf continues to whisper to itself its own inexhaustible tale. So many things have been shown so to me on these banks, so much light has illumined me by reflection here where the water comes down, that I can hardly believe that this grace never flags, that the pouring from ever-renewable sources is endless, impartial, and free.
I am sorry I ran from you. I am still running, running from that knowledge, that eye, that love from which there is no refuge. For you meant only love, and love, and I felt only fear, and pain. So once in Israel love came to us incarnate, stood in the doorway between two worlds, and we were all afraid.
So the Midwest nourishes us [...] and presents us with the spectacle of a land and a people completed and certain. And so we run to our bedrooms and read in a fever, and love the big hardwood trees outside the windows, and the terrible Midwest summers, and the terrible Midwest winters [...]. And so we leave it sorrowfully, having grown strong and restless by opposing with all our will and mind and muscle its simple, loving, single will for us: that we stay, that we stay and find a place among its familiar possibilities. Mother knew we would go; she encouraged us.
The universe that suckled us is a monster that does not care if we live or die--it does not care if it itself grinds to a halt. It is a beast running on chance and death, careening from nowhere to nowhere. It is fixed and blind, a robot programmed to kill. We are free and seeing; we can only try to outwit it at every turn to save our lives.

We're planning a visit to the Frederic William Burton exhibition at the NATIONAL GALLERY, a trip to Dunboyne Castle Hotel & Spa and listening to the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra at the NATIONAL CONCERT HALL …
WHO: If you still haven't seen the excellent exhibition of works by the Pre-Raphaelite artist Frederic William Burton at the National Gallery, this weekend is your last chance, as it closes on January 14. Romantics will especially love the paintings; Irish-born Burton settled in London and the exhibition features over 70 of his works, the most famous of which is the watercolour, Hellelil and Hildebrand, the Meeting on the Turret Stairs (1864). The exhibition also includes art by John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rosetti, Edward Burne-Jones, Ford Maddox Brown, Daniel Maclise, and William Mulready. www.nationalgallery.ie.
WHERE: We're pencilling in a visit to The Riddler Café & Restaurant for an after-work cocktail and dinner where we'll catch their Friday Night Live sessions. The venue, nestled in La Rochelle Building, directly opposite Christchurch Cathedral, specialises in tempting modern Irish cuisine with an emphasis on organic produce, while their Friday sessions start from 7.30pm. A regular guest is blues and jazz singer Lisa Jameson while Spanish guitarist, Juan José Manzano's vibrant, acoustic flamenco guitar is a good way to ease into the weekend.
The Riddler Café & Restaurant, La Rochelle Building, Christchurch, Dublin 8, www.theriddler.ie.
WHAT: Self-care is one of 2018's buzzwords and where better to retreat and rejuvenate than a quick trip to Dunboyne Castle Hotel & Spa? Spa Sessions at Seoid Spa is offering a very affordable Sweet Serenity package for 45 euros. It comprises the use of the thermal suite, a choice of treatments followed by tea and scones. www.dunboynecastlehotel.com.
WHERE: We can't get enough of dance spectacles at the moment (and are debating a tap dancing course) which is why we've booked to see the new version of The Red Shoes at the Gate Theatre this weekend. This new version by Nancy Harris is a contemporary retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's fairytale encompassing themes of dance, desire and destruction. Part theatre, part dance, what's not to like as they say? As for red shoes, we're coveting the red snakeskin Ganni slingbacks currently on Net-a-Porter … www.gatetheatre.ie.
WHY: For music fans there's plenty to enjoy at the National Concert Hall – on Friday January 12 (at 7.30pm) the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra will be performing Symphonie Fantastique. This includes works by Debussy, Bartok and Berlioz with Valeriy Sokolov on violin. Berlioz's Symphonie has been likened to a psychedelic experience and recounts the fateful tale of a man in love. Apparently it echoes the breakdown of Berlioz's own marriage to Irish actress Harriet Smithson. Too much drama? If your musical tastes are more contemporary Reeling in the Showband Years might appeal. It's on Sunday January 13 at 8pm and recreates the magic of dance hall days. www.nch.ie.

Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney solidified his relationship with the newly-elected GOP leaders recently when he made phone calls to congratulate them on their victories. The Washington Post reported that Romney called more than 80 Republican candidates who were elected in the Nov. 4, 2014, elections.
The former governor of Massachusetts has not stated whether he is interested in vying for the Republican Party's presidential ticket in 2016, even though some of his supporters continue to plan for his candidacy. The Washington Post reported that it has obtained documents circulated by a group that supports Romney which indicate that two out of every three candidates he endorsed were elected, compared to only one out of three of those endorsed by Hillary Clinton, his likely Democratic Party challenger.
According to the Washington Post, some GOP leaders,who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the 2012 presidential contender could consider running for office if former Florida governor Jeb Bush decides not to run. Jeb Bush's brother, former president George W. Bush, has urged him to do so. During an interview at the launch of a book he has written about his father George Herbert Walker Bush, George W. Bush said that Jeb had the required experience, and can appeal to several voter groups. Jeb has said he will make up his mind by the end of the year.
In September, Romney's wife, Anne, told Fox News' Neil Cavuto that he could consider running if Jeb Bush decides not to. She said the two attract the same type of voters.
Romney's effort to solidify his relationship with the newly-elected GOP leaders and the role he played during the campaigns to get some of them elected seems to be a good stepping stone towards running for the Republican Party's presidential ticket in 2016. Paul Ryan, who was Romney's running mate in 2012, said he hoped he would run again. He said on CNBC television in August that Romney was being viewed favorably in recent polls.
Senator John McCain of Arizona told the Huffington Post that there are some people who invested in Romney in 2012 who would want him to run again. He said Romney was favored in the Republican Party, but needed to weigh his chances of winning since the exercise would be stressful. Karl Rove, a Republican Party strategist who played a crucial role in President George W. Bush's election in 2000 and re-election in 2004, told Reuters that the former Massachusetts governor's candidacy would be similar to running three marathons back-to-back. It would require him to invest at least a year in the Republican Party primary campaigns and then another for the general election, a feat he considered challenging for anyone.
In an opinion article on Romney's chances of being elected as president of the United States in 2016, Julian Selizer, a professor of History and Public Affairs at Princeton University, wrote that the former Massachusetts governor could be motivated to run by the fact that other past losers still ended up in the White House. In an article published on CNN.com, Selizer gave the example of Richard Nixon, who lost to John F. Kennedy in 1960, but won the presidential election of 1969.
As Romney solidifies his relationship with the newly-elected GOP leaders, polls seem to favor him as well. According to Huffington Post, a poll conducted by USA Today/Suffolk University in August showed that 35 percent of Republican voters in Iowa would vote for him in 2016, a favorable score compared to other candidates.

Instructions to fix EVF4RVW screen blackout after firmware updateViews 4077 Votes 0 2016.02.27 14:44:45
Hey guys,
I got the EVF4RVW and bricked it when I tried to update the firmware. The firmware uploaded, but the screen never refreshed, and the monitor didn't work anymore. I stayed up all night trying every possible combination of firmware and update utility with no success. Yesterday I contacted Birns and Sawyer (USA distributor for Cineroid) and tech support got me up and running again.
Instructions and files you will need to fix this can be found in this article I wrote on DPBLOG:
It includes a link to the most recent firmware (version 1.40) which as of 2/27/16 has not been posted on the cineroid site yet.
I hope this is helpful for the many of you who have had the same screen blackout problem after attempted firmware update.

Red Hawk Casino slots continue to pay even more jackpots, to more local winners, more often, with a local Rewards Club member celebrating a $100,000 jackpot over the weekend.
Paul, from El Dorado Hills, Calif., was out for an evening with his daughter. The lucky player visits Red Hawk Casino often and was enjoying his time playing some of his favorite slots. He was playing a Premium Video Poker machine, when the cards revealed a premium hand, a Royal Flush. That winning hand paid out a $100,000 jackpot. Paul was thrilled, and says he plans to share his jackpot winnings with his wife.
"The jackpots at Red Hawk are just one of the many reasons our players have voted us �Best� more than 100 times," says Bryan deLugo, General Manager. "Our players also enjoy the variety of slots we have to offer, and know they will receive a first-class casino experience that is unmatched."

Police started a large scaled operation against our party DTP in 13 provinces on 14th of April 2009. More than 300 members, executives and activists including three vice presidents of our party were detained. A TV station and the centre of The Union of South-East Municipalities were also targeted by the police. The operation is still going on, and we do not know when it will stop.
Everybody agrees that we got a clear victory at last local elections on 29 of March 2009. Despite many violations, oppressions and tricks, we almost doubled the number of our municipalities (from 56 to 98); we were the first party in 10 provinces in the east and south-east of Turkey. We could win many more provinces if there were democratic and fair elections.
After these results, many people in Turkey started to discuss the Kurdish Question and they wanted the government to launch a dialogue with the DTP for a peaceful solution. When Mr. Obama had a visit to Turkey, he had a meeting with the leader of our party Mr. Ahmet Turk, and he said that there should be a peaceful solution to the Kurdish question in Turkey.
On the other hand, we heard very dangerous statements from state officials after our success at the elections. Prime Minister Mr. Erdogan said that those results showed that the policies based on offering services and economic opportunities have not been successful, but the policies based on ethnicity have made votes! Vice Prime Minister Cemil Çiçek said, in one of his statements, "DTP has extended its success to the borders of Armenia, which is a big threat to our national security. The state should asses these results and should take necessary precautions!" The Chief of the General Staff stated that they are assessing the results of the local elections, and especially the results in South-east are matter of concern!
When we look at these statements, we can easily say that this operation is a political operation, and it is a blow to our democratic and peaceful struggle. It will not only be a blow to our struggle, but it will be a blow to democracy, human rights and freedom of organization in Turkey. It will not serve in any way to the Turkish accession process to the EU. We fear that this oppression on our party will damage the belief of democratic struggle among our people and aggravate more the unstable situation in Turkey.
As a democratic party in Turkey we kindly ask you to have declaration against this dangerous, anti-democratic attack on our party and other democratic institutions.

Flux Binding Systems recently announced that the company has signed an agreement with Burton Snowboards to legally license its 3-Hole Pattern Technology. All Flux brand bindings for the '99/00 season will be compatible with the Burton 3-Hole pattern.
"This is a win-win agreement for both companies," says Flux Vice President Jim Tomonaga. "We were frustrated to see last season many Burton board users wanted to buy Flux bindings, but couldn't because of non-compatibility. Now our bindings will go with the world's best-selling boards, and will be able to satisfy more consumers for sure."
"As a publicly traded company, we think it is important to legally negotiate and get it done right," he adds. "This will eventually help our shops and customers, by not being sued or recalled. This is another way to show our business style and create trust among the company, shops, and consumers.
The Flux snowboard team currently includes Jamie Lynn, Mike Basich, Chad Otterstrom, Dionne Delassale, Blaise Rosenthal, Rio Tahara, and Erik Leines.

About Michael
Michael Riley is a gentle and well-educated man in his late 30s who has been taken against his will in and out of state mental health systems and forcibly medicated since February 2000. Since then, his rights have been constantly abused and the authorities treat him like a criminal despite proclaiming that he isn't. Michael has no criminal record and has never harmed another person or himself in his life, yet he is being treated like he has supposedly breached the Mental Health Act. In his interview with Justice Action, Michael shares his experience at the hands of the mental health system. His size at 6'3" and his unusual beliefs have made him a easy target.
Page 2
With an undergraduate degree in Economics from the University of Sydney, Michael is a friendly, highly intelligent and opinionated man. He has family and friends for whom he cares very much, including a young daughter. Justice Action has a long history with Michael Riley going back a number of years over several Tribunal Hearings.
He accepts that the state defines him as a mentally ill person, however Michael rejects this classification and the diagnosis of Schizoaffective Disorder which dates back over 13 years. He accepts that his behaviour may sometimes be hard for his family to live with, but asserts that it is his right to have his own thoughts and his entitlement to be different than others.
The main concern here is the state's treatment of those whom they define as mentally ill and whom they deem as a danger to themselves or others. Michael has long been able to manage his own condition, and his own community had no idea that he was classified as mentally ill. It was only after a call by his family to the police out of concern for his well being that he came to the attention of the mental health system. Although they may have believed they were acting in his best interests, by doing so Michael's independence and right to make decisions regarding his own wellbeing have been stripped away.
On two separate occasions, quite recently, police arrested Michael for being a "danger to his reputation". They came to the villa where he is living, handcuffed him and in dragging him out in front of neighbours, using such force that Michael suffered head wounds requiring four staples to close the wound when he was treated at Westmead Hospital. On the second occasion in 2012 they did so in front of a coffee shop he frequents, where neighbours, friends and acquaintances were all witnessed him being handcuffed and thrown into the back of a police paddy wagon. Until this embarrassment none of those around him were aware of any mental health issues.
This criminalisation of those who are mentally ill should not be tolerated. The stigma that surrounds mentally ill people has justified abuse of authority and the mistreatment of those who should be supported and protected. Furthermore, regardless of whatever the allegations are or who makes them, the burden of proof lies on Michael to disprove accusations of mental instability. His case throws up in the contradiction of care and coercion.

My Entry for the December GC, regarding Nesarin Smythe.
About this creation
03 December, 2097
Drentlio Law Enforcement Station
Nessie: "
Liish an'kl.
Omen West stepped back as Nesarin played with the little ball of fire in her palm, increasing its size bit by bit, her young voice coaxing out the power within. Omen smiled at the young girl as she kept the ball under control, her face tightened with concentration. But no one could miss the look of relief that she wore as she realised that the ball wouldn't get any larger than what she willed it.
Omen spoke again in the soft voice she often used when speaking to Nessie. A gentle tone, like a cat purring.
Omen: "Nice work Nessie, but I think you could make it a little bigger. Do you think so?"
Nessie: "O…Okay!"
Omen: "Great! Now, say the words again, but let a bit more force in. Not much, just a little bit."
Nessie: "Alright…
liish an'kl.
The fire in her hands crackled softly, but grew as she spoke until it wrapped its way up her arm. Nessie released a breath she hadn't known she'd been holding, followed closely by a small chuckle. Omen had to admit it was quite a sight, having a little girl smile as her arms blazed away. But Omen knew what she was feeling.
These flames were in her grasp, they were hers. And so they stayed on her arms. Not like a few months ago, when they'd travelled up and down her entire body before erupting, killing hundreds.
Omen paused at the thought, not wanting to think about what Nessie had had to go through. She wasn't that girl anymore. No, she had a lot more control now, and Omen could only smile again as her own memories flitted to the surface. She remembered those blistering days, when her…friend had trained her to use her newly activated seed.
They'd been hard days, but her friend had been gentle, lenient, understanding. Without them, Omen would've killed herself long ago, or worse, gone through what Nessie had.
Despite herself, she was thankful that she hadn't had to live the girl's life. Thankful that her friend had gotten to her just in time.
Omen: "Fantastic Nessie, nice work. I think that should do it for today."
Nessie: "Aww, do you have to go again?"
Omen: "Not yet sweetie, but I don't want to push you. Now, do you remember the words?"
Nessie: "Yep! Hmm…sa…
sape an'kl. Ess'y, uin an'kl.
The fire on her arms flitted and shrank until it slowly dissipated, seemingly absorbed back into her skin. Nessie exhaled and smiled again, shifting her gaze back to Omen.
Nessie: "How was that?"
Omen: "Awesome, but remember to let the power slow before cutting it off. One day, it'll be second nature, but right now we want it to be a gradual build up and a gradual cool down, okay?"
Nessie: "Okay Omen!"
Omen: "Now then, what else have you been up to?"
Nessie grinned before launching into a description of her morning, including heavy mentions of the book series she was currently working her way through. The girl had loved reading, as Galan had found out, and her bookworm of a husband was only too happy to lend her his copies.
She was currently making her way through an Earth novel Galan and dug up after the Shift , and was in the middle of describing how the main character had evaded a dragon whilst riding a broomstick when the door between them opened with a click. Omen was on her feet and grinned as Galan stepped through, but her smile shrank as she saw the unwariness in his eyes.
Omen caught the unsaid message and faced Nessie, the little girl's eyes jumping between them.
Omen: "Well, looks like I'm being called away a bit early Nessie."
Nessie: "Aww, but I just got to the best part."
Galan: "The part with the dragon?"
Nessie: "Yeah!"
Galan: "Oh, just you wait, it gets even better. How about you get back to it, I've got to steal Omen away for a while."
Omen: "Ahh, the joys of police work. I'll be back tomorrow Nessie, and I expect another chapter."
Nessie: "Well…okay then! See you tomorrow!"
The little girl smiled and was already reaching for the book when Omen closed the door, giving a little wave as she did. The moment the lock clicked into place, she dropped her smile and gave Galan her best concerned look. Galan, for his part, let his smile fall, a rare occurrence from him.
Omen: "What is it Gal?"
Galan: "It isn't good. Another investigator's here, with a pretty good warrant from Aurelia."
Omen: "Damn it... How long have they been here?"
Galan: "An hour already, in my office. Drek Hewet's his name. I've kept him there as long as I could, but there's not much more that I can reasonably do."
Omen: "Alright, alright. I'll look after him. Give me ten minutes."
Galan: "Too easy beautiful. I'll get a guard here, make sure they don't have anyone else through."
Omen: "Thanks Gal'."
She gave him a quick kiss before making her way down to his office, her thoughts hardening. These damn investigators were really grating on her now. This was the fourth one since she'd placed Nessie under her care, and they never seemed to take no for a hint. They cited anything and everything they could, and with this stupid Registration Act hanging over their heads, all of them so far had had very interesting ideas on where the girl's rights as a Collective stood.
Omen hated it, hated that the Imperium had the gall to spark up the unrest between the Collective and everyone else. She had never truly felt a part of the Collective, not after one had activated her seed during the war, but she didn't hate them. After all, without her friend she wouldn't have been able to save herself, and without their language both herself and Nessie would've been lost.
Damn the Governor, and damn Aurelia for shoving these investigators down her throat.
Eventually, she reached Galan's office. It was a simple affair, tidy, neat and nestled in amongst the other offices on the floor. When he'd been appointed, he'd rejected the cushy chief's office upstairs, preferring to be as close as he could to his men, showing them that he was no better than they were, despite the rank.
The office's current occupant clearly thought otherwise, given how he looked down his nose at everyone. Even sitting down as he was, Omen could tell Drek was a shorter man, but thin and weedy like a twig. Red glasses covered his eyes, and his hair was trimmed neatly, if a bit too short that was really attractive.
Omen marched into the office and extended her hand, which he ignored. He merely glanced at her before speaking, his voice condescending, as if he was speaking to a disobedient child.
Drek: "Finally. No punctuality in this place."
Omen: "Sure…Drek Hewet, I believe?"
Drek: "
Hewet, but at least you got something right."
Omen: "Omen West. How can I help you?"
Drek yawned loudly and sat up in his chair, speaking again in that annoying voice of false superiority. His words had clearly been rehearsed many times.
Drek: "I won't waste more words than I have to. Both the Government and the General have heard about this girl you have in your possession, a girl with frightening levels of power and no idea how she got them. It is in the best interests of both this city and this planet that you hand her over to us, to me, so that we may conduct our tests and determine the origin of her powers. Such results could prove beneficial for the fight against the Imperium, but if nothing else, it will ensure the safety of the civilians in Drentlio."
Omen: "Great speech. They've got an award for script-writing, you know."
Drek bristled slightly at the comment, but continued, a smug smile on his face.
Drek: "Regardless of your opinion Miss West, your input in this matter is irrelevant. The girl is uncontrollable. Who knows when another incident will occur? It's only a matter of time before she slips and countless others are lost in the aftermath. And without proper testing, who know if this will happen again?"
"If what some believe is true, that she was
with these abilities, then it may only be weeks until we have a crisis on our hands. What if hundreds of hidden Collective children reveal themselves, all with no control? Surely you can understand why we need to take her?"
Omen took a deep breath before responding, her voice changing again. Not to the soft voice she'd trained so hard to master, but to the icy tone she'd learned from Galan years ago. She kept her words quiet, just on the edge of his hearing, as well as undercut them with a razor's edge.
Omen: "What I understand
Hewet, is that you have no idea what you're doing."
A pause filled the room as Drek looked at her, a puzzled expression on his face.
Drek: "I beg your pardon?!"
Omen: "Oh, sorry. I might not have made it clear enough. You, like all the others, are bumbling morons grasping at things beyond your reach."
Drek rose out of his chair, his anger flaring. He pointed his finger and waggled it like he was punishing a dog. Omen merely folded her arms and met his gaze as he began to yell.
Drek: "How dare you insult me! Do you even know who I am?"
Omen: "Like I said, a bumbling moron."
Drek: "You…I… You can't call me that!"
Omen: "Oops, looks like I just did. Sorry about that."
Drek: "You utter fool! Can't you see you're holding on to a bomb? The child's dangerous, she needs to be properly contained, properly examined! Why can't you see that?"
Omen: "Let me ask you a question,
Hewet, what do you know about the Collective?"
Drek scoffed like a spoiled child.
Drek: "Oh, a lot more than you, I'd imagine! I studied them during the war, and I know just how dangerous they can be! Thanks goodness they'll all be registered soon! Keep an eye on the lot of them!"
Omen: "Right, so if I'm reading this right, you want to help a little girl to control
abilities without any actual
The room fell into silence once more as Drek stalled, at a loss for words. He fumed and muttered away, but he couldn't think fast enough. Omen smiled.
Omen: "Look Drek, the person is question is a nine-year-old girl. She's just lost her entire family, everything she knows, to a power she knows nothing about. And you want to throw her in a hole in the ground, skewer her with a million tubes and root around like it's a freaking autopsy? You really think that that is what's going to keep her under control? No! If there's anywhere she's going to erupt again, it'd be there."
Drek: "You….No! We'd take precautions!"
Omen: "What, Ossillium? Far as I've heard, most of that's been stolen anyway, and I doubt Aurelia would spare what little they have to keep you happy."
Drek: "Hmph…well, there's always sedation!"
Omen: "Oh yeah, that'd work great I'm sure. Stab a frightened girl with unchecked power with a needle the size of my forearm. And what if even that's not enough? What then
A flurry of curses leapt from Drek's mouth like survivors from a shipwreck, but he was losing ground and he knew it.
Drek: "I…I am a scientist you blind fool! I know what's best for the good of Zarus, for Aurelia!"
Omen: "Do you know what's best for Nesarin Smythe?"
Drek: "Why should I care what the kid thinks?! This is a governmental affair, and you cannot hold her here!"
Omen: "Actually, I can. As the law states, all contained parties are considered innocent until proven guilty. Considering that you yourself say 'the kid' had no control over her powers at the time of incident, and considering her age, she can't technically be arrested for anything other than manslaughter."
Drek: "That doesn't matter, and you know it! The warrant I carry gives me the right to take the girl, and that's it!"
Omen: "Wait, did you seriously just say that the law doesn't matter…in a police station?"
Drek: "Of course I…wait…I mean…"
Another smile broke out on Omen's face as Drek floundered in his rage. She took a deep breath once again and spoke, louder this time, to ensure he caught every word.
Omen: "As Nesarin hasn't been charged with anything as of this moment, and as you clearly don't have the adequate resources to deal with her powers, then I would advise you leave with your dignity intact. Short of actually kidnapping her, Nesarin Smythe will not be leaving this station."
Drek: "But…look lady, this warrant-"
Omen: "-is null and void at this point. According to Zarus Law concerning people with Collective abilities, Article 38, 'No Collective person or persons may be investigated or examined by any scientific authority unless said person or persons has
committed an act of violence or terrorism against the Zarus or Aurelian people.' Until she's charged, you have no power here."
Drek: "But…But…she might not even be Collective! If she was born with her powers-"
Omen: "Until proven otherwise, she is to be considered as part of the Collective race."
Drek: "But we can only prove that she isn't is by examining her!!"
Omen: "Oh dear, what a shame. I'm terribly sorry about that Mr Hewet. Anyway, I hope you have a good afternoon."
Omen turned toward the door as Drek began yelling at her, following her out of the office and into the hallway, his warrant flapping in his hands. All around her, officers and onlookers halted in their tracks.
Drek: "You think I'm stupid?! You think I'm done?! Listen here, you little brat, I will have that girl! For the good of Zarus, I will have her!"
Omen: "Well, I wish you the best of luck. You're going to need it."
Drek: "This…this warrant is the exception to whatever you just said! It's signed by the Governor of Zarus and by General Convo himself!"
Omen: "Really? Looks like a photocopy of Convo's signature if you ask me."
Drek: "WHAT?! No, you listen to me! You're putting all of these people's lives in danger just by keeping her here!"
Omen: "And you're going to transport her to the capital, with a lot more people, and she's going to be a lot more scared and frightened than she is now."
Drek snarled angrily, and began jabbing his finger, hitting Omen's shoulder repeatedly.
Drek: "You stupid, stupid girl! You think you're so smart, you think you've got everything figured out, you think some senseless pig like you can fight Aurelia?"
Omen: "As far as I can see, this 'senseless pig' is following the law to the letter."
Drek: "You…you…you arrogant dlug-headed… slintcrank!"
The entire department went graveyard silent. Nobody even moved, but most held the same expression of shock. Omen stiffened as she stepped out of reach of his still jabbing finger, her mouth hung open slightly. It'd been a while since she'd heard the word, usually reserved for pilots and the scum of the criminal underground.
She'd forgotten how much it stung.
Whether Drek didn't recognise how deep the word cut, or if he simply ignored it, she didn't know. However, he had registered the sudden lack of bustle around him and simply locked eyes with anyone starring his way.
Drek: "What are you all looking at?! She's deliberately disobeying direct orders! She's useless! She's a slintcran-"
Voice: "I'd shut up if I was you."
Drek spun to see Galan strolling through the halls, nodding at the officers with hands on their holsters to stand down. Omen relaxed as he drew closer, his impressive frame filling Drek's vision. He strolled to Omen's side and casually draped his arm round her shoulders, his toned muscles visible through his cotton shirt. When he spoke, it was in that same icy tone Omen had used before.
He'd always been a lot better at it.
Galan: "If you'd like to say anything more to my
, I suggest you leave."
Drek: "Chief, we aren't done here!"
Galan: "Oh I think we are. You've insulted not only the police chief's wife, but one of this station's most loyal aids and supporters. As for the girl, I believe Omen would've made it quite clear where you stand on that line."
Drek: "But…but…"
Galan: "Let me put it another way. Leave. Now. Or I arrest you for harassing a police officer."
Drek sputtered in fury, fuming where he stood, before turning and storming out of the station to the sounds of a brief applause before everyone continued with their day. Galan nodded to himself and turned to meet Omen's eyes.
He froze when he registered the tears welling there, tears Omen had tried her hardest to force down. But…memories like hers were hard to keep down when those old wounds were wretched open. But she smiled at the same time Galan did, wrapping her arms around him.
Omen: "Thank you…"
Galan: "Anytime beautiful. Anytime at all."
Omen grinned again, looking into the eyes of the man she'd fallen in love with. He understood. He knew the dangers of letting someone like Drek take Nessie away and strap her to a table. It'd be horrible, not just for her, but for everyone around her if she exploded again.
Omen: "You know he won't be the last one."
Galan: "He was definitely the worst one."
Omen: "Heh, yeah…but we can't keep this up forever."
Galan: "We'll figure something out. We always do."
And with that, he pulled her closer, and Omen gripped him and didn't let go.
