The Vexmen came in full force and played and built all day. As most teams did not have a working arm or claw yet, this provided the opportunity to get some crucial building done.
But that means you can't drive what you have already built! Team 80N got in line again and again and again playing in 21 matches the entire day. The next closest team – 677 the Joneses of Montclair – played in 9. The kids got some robot driving practice and pushed game elements into the corners to score mainly. Some robots used a platform to roll game elements into the low goals, while some robots from other schools had robots scoring in the top goals.
Most Matches Played: Team 80N – Nightcrawler
Judges Award: Team 80C – Cyclops
Something Out Of Nothing Award: Team 80B – Beast

Many more robots now have functioning arms and grabbers. Teams 80C, 80N, 80P, and 80X all started really competing getting into more higher goals throughout the day. Other teams are just about ready with 81S and 81A about ready to debut their feeders. 81S has a twisted pneumatics tubing spring action you thought was a steel cable!
The TechnoMage league is one of 10 pilot VEX Competitions leagues authorized for this year. We are promoting a vibrant community where teams come together and participate in morning workshops on various topics like programming, mechanical design and competition strategy, and then compete through the afternoon.
We have several League days leading up to a final playoff where teams are recognized for their contributions, performance and have the opportunity to win one of three VEX World Championship slots in Disneyland in April!

The Vexmen teams have all really improved in this week's match. Team 80R – Rogue is scoring on the high goals consistently with its polycarb box lifter. They have also been one of the only teams to effectively use the negation barrel in matches. Team 80J – Juggernaut drove their way onto third place after the regular qualification matches. Their alliance with 80G and 80D – Darwin – took four grueling semi-final matches to decide the finalists.

Teams continued to really push their robots to the point where sparks flew and some motors blew. Team 80N unleashed their autonomous leading to 5 items scored in the high goal during the pre-programmed time. Other teams competing included the hosts KYHS, the Driven Bolts, Haverford School teams, and Cherry Hill East all competed in an afternoon of great matches.

Teams 80R – Rogue – and 80D – Darwin – ended the qualifcations in 4th and 5th respectively with some great driving and robots really getting into a finished state. Other teams were not as lucky with mechanical wear and tear starting to rear its ugly head with 80N, 80X, and 81A all having some issues. But the play of Chadwick and ACME really showed the Vexmen what some top talent can do.

We were at the Kohelet Yeshiva HS, Marion Station PA. This was their third event hosted this year. They are a rookie team to Vex and could not have been better hosts. 34 Teams competed for slots to go to the VEX World Championships. (44 teams had competed in the league qualifying events)
Doors opened at 6PM. Since we had done alliance selections by E-Mail and phone all we had to do was inspect robots and have a drivers meeting. Promptly at 7:20, Head Referee Bob said 3-2-1 GO and we were off.
Since the Eastern PA teams are about 1/2 way through the competition season with ~400 matches played, the level of the robot's ability was pretty high. Most robots at this point can collect and score multiple items at one time. We even had a wall bot to play defense.
There were a number of high scoring matches that took sudden downward turns with the negator barrel scored.
The preceding League days established a League Ranking. We played on four fields and followed our policy of "last teams to play reset the fields". We got very good turn times. Once we got into the semifinals we did have teams take timeouts to do repairs.
Team 169A and 169E from Haveford won the event with some impressive defensive skill and cooperative play. As Team 169E maneuvered in the interaction zone, 169A swept up all the available pieces behind them to score almost at will. This teamwork between robots shows what the power of two skilled robots and roboteers can accomplish. They earned their world qualification spots with impressive play and scoring over 20 points in all but one match.
Vexmen Teams 80G – Gambit – and 80J – Juggernaut – made it to the semi-final round needing a decisive third mach to be defeated by 1267B of DC Knights and team 101 of Radnor high School.

Since skills ran all day, there was a grudge match between top teams as they ran over and over again to top each other. Team 677 – the Jonses of Montclair Robotics – scored a whopping 32 points in the skills competition propelling them to #7 in the world rankings and 18 in programming skills. Other powerhouse teams such as 24C – Supersonic Sparks – and 3086Z – Cheese – gave them a run for their money scoring up to 29 points in drivers skills. Technomage league Excellence award winners 777B from Christopher Dock scored 25. DC Knights' 1267A team scored 16 in the programming skills making them 15th in the world currently which should be good enough for a wrold championship spot.

Team 80G – Gambit – won the middle school division and took home an Excellence Award qualifying them for Vex World Championships in Anaheim, CA. Their robot has finally come together and they are a force to be reckoned with. Their octogon holonomic base allows them to score the tall interaction zone goal while still in the isolation zone. This allows them to score without the other interaction zone robot shoving them out of the way. Their pair scored an impressive 33 points in one playoff round match.
Team 80J – Juggernaut – won the build award and 80H – Havoc – won the design award in the middle school division. 80H lost in the finals to 80G"s pair in a tough match.
In the high school division, Team 81S – Sabretooth – came away with an Excellence Award to get thier ticket punched for Worlds too. They had a few tipping over issues in a macth to get them knocked out of the playoffs. Team 81N – Namor – won the design award in the High School division as well.
Team 81A – Apocalypse along with 1727A of Rex lost in the tournament finals as first seeds to the tandem of 777B of Christopher Dock and 4001A from Parkland. 777B had been plagued with battery troubles all day but perservered enough to get their batteries together for the elimination rounds.

They drove well all day and showed their awesome notebook to the judges to win the Excellence Award. Team 81S – Sabretooth – won the build award for the day showing their tight construction and excellent wiring.
Many teams from across the area who tried out the new Robot C v3.06 did not fare well. Drop outs affected Driven Bolts, 3057, and Downingtown teams. Driven Bolts even got their Cortex in a state where it would not communicate any longer keeping them out of the playoffs.

This is a different style of competition than our normal Vex competions. The kids are constrained ot a smaller robot in staying under 12.25 inches and the goal is very different. They have to drive a robot completely autonomously through a maze to find a burning candle and put it out within 3 minutes.
Points are scored for not only how fast you put out the candle but bonus points are awarded for not touching the candle, a first/second room entry bonus, and returning to the home position all within 3 minutes. We"re not limited ot Vex parts so all sorts of robots and motors have been used this year along with any extinguishing means the kids can think of.
This year Vexmen took first and second places! Team Roofus took first while Salamander took second. They were some of the only robots to extinguish the candle in both the Junior or Senior divisions!
Lilly and Matthew both took home design awards for their efforts as well. Congrats to all!
First Place: Roofus
Second Place: Salamander
Design Awards: Lilly & Matthew
PSU Event Page
The purpose of this event is to provide an opportunity for league teams to play on a day other than a Saturday.We will have the field in a large classroom on the second floor of the high school building. The pits will be in the adjacent classrooms.
Food will not be sold or provided. You are welcome to bring your own snacks.
The Technomage League is in its first year consisting of teams in the Greater Metro Philadelphia area. This is a great venue with lots of space, so we are opening this event to teams that are not currently in the Technomage League.
In the morning, starting at 8:00am we will have people on hand to help you develop your robot, give some instruction in programing, the use of sensors, and discuss game strategies. From 12:00pm -4:00pm matches will be played, and those who are in the league will get ranking points that will be used to determine alliance positions later in the year. Those not in the league will be intermixed with league teams, but their rankings will be just for fun.
You are not going to want to miss this opportunity to learn and grow in Robotics!
Three Vexmen teams attended the inaugural Haverford School robotics event. Team 80P – Phoenix came away with the Judges Award! All of the Vexmen robots were still a bit behind in their builds so no one had an operational arm and claw yet. But we showed them how aggressive driving and floor goals can still compete.
Team 80N – Nightcrawler may have made the new cheater tube for Gateway via 10 minutes of inspired build for a "back up and dunk" shelf holding a pre-loaded ball. This was then used to introduce the doubler barrel to then double the goal"s points. We saw someithing similar from a delapidated Haverford robot whose arm had sheard off and balancing barrels 18 inches up.
As the Sixth seed, the three Vexmen Teams 80G Gambit, 80N Nightcrawler, and 80P Phoinix combined into an all Vexmen alliance to defeat the third seeded teams to advance to the semi-finals. There they met strong resistance from teams with conveyor lifts and some autonomous programming further along in development where we were trounced handily.

We toyed with the idea of telling Cheeky after the 3 months had passed.. but we had to visit the doctor with Cheeky in tow.. and there was all the barfing he would end up watching! Either he would "ew" it or maybe just maybe worry (who am I kidding uh?) about why his mother was trying to throw her insides out every morning! Not to mention the fact that she was always found languishing on the couch! So we decided to tell him.. and went about it all wrong!
"Cheeky guess what we are going to have a baby join our family" we said
Silence.. more silence
"Oh No" he exclaims
"When ?" he says with such a pained look on his face I thought I was going to cry (well between my mood swings Cheeky could hardly be blamed for that)!
"It will be sometime in July 2010 Honey" say we!
"And that is going to be the worst day of my life in 2010″ says he?
"Cheeky" we say in unison in absolute horror!
He explains "But Mommy I am too young to have a baby yet!"
Sigh! "Cheeky not you, mommy is going to have the baby, you are going to have a brother or a sister"
Then he sighed.. a huge sigh of relief! The funny guy "Then let it be a brother" he beamed!
"But God will decide hon" say we and before he loses the smile ask him "So what do you think we should name it?"
"If it is a boy – Jack" he says
"And if it is a girl?"
"Lets name her Shreya" says Dad
"Or Asin or Trisha or Priya Mani" chimes Cheeky belting out the names of all tamil lead female actors! My oh my.. at 5 if he does this I wonder what he would do at 25!!
If you expect a happily ever after, think again. We sat at the doctor's office a few days later and the doctor was busy talking to Mama. Cheeky whispers to his Dad "So you going to marry mom again?"
Dad bewildered "No why?"
"Then how do you have that second kid now?"
"Shush Cheeky lets talk about it later ok" says a red faced Dad!
And later.. Mom was posed the same question, but she was now ready and armed "We ask God Sweety and he decides when to give us the next baby"!
"Remember how you prayed to God for a brother or sister last year?" I said congratulating myself on my quick thinking...
"But then I told God not to bother and that I would like a pet instead" he says eyeing the tummy!
Despite the ultrasounds and weekly pictures from parenting website I am sure the arrival of Tootsie was what convinced Cheeky. Now Tootsie has a tough act to beat.. following the Cheeky Brat and I sure have my work cut out for the next 20 + years! So how did you break the news to your first born and how did he/ she react? Do Share ,...

[p.s. The flip side of blogging - The out of town hubs and friends gathers updates from my blog rather than hearing my long winding tales on the phone!!! Sigh!!]
We started this blog journey as a family of 3! The Cheeky Brat ruled the roost! Now we are fast plumetting towards the teens! Tootsie the little Pixie keeps us entertained with her unique spirited ways! And the parents... well we stumble along in this journey as green as when we first embarked on this journey!! Come join us on our journey of discovery! My life, universe and everything else in the bargain

What's it with me and the flooding!
A few months back in good old Charlotte I donned my slacks and crisp shirt one morning. Packed 3 full bags - One the most important Lunch, the other what my work people forced me to lug along my laptop and the third my make up and candy stash with my wallet in my purse (quite as important I would say). I was ready to get on the commuter train to downtown and pretend to be an all important person in the corporate world! Meanwhile I had to keep my part of hte morning deal, wake Cheeky. The hubs had the harder part getting him ready for school.. As we stood 2 sleepy heads, one straight out of bed and the other all set for work but still sleepy and quite pregnant too.. We stood there in front of the sink and opened the tap and gush we were both drenched and the water kept gushing out while I watched in horror without any understanding. A pipe had burst on us.. A few precious minutes later sense prevailed and the hubs and I managed to turn off the water valves.. but the damage was done! That was quite an adventure you would say right?
But little did I know that the phrase "History repeats itself" would hold so true in my life! Last afternoon the hubs took off on a trip (carefree that he is)... and I struggled with my 2 little imps. The minute I rested my back one or the other one would pipe up!! And on one such occassion I noticed some water in the kitchen. Investigation proved the forbidden door was leaking (we have 2 forbidden doors in our tiny little apartment.. 2 forbidden doors and no storage!). This door housed the water heater which had sprung a leak. A call to maintenance later we found the heater had to replaced. That took the better part of my afternoon and I sighed and accepted a ruined rest time!
Later that evening I switched on the washer and my dad (who is visiting by the way) got ready to take an evening stroll) and lo behold he walked into a big pool of water in what used to be the kitchen! It was the washer this time. Tootsie began to scream right this instant and Cheeky thought this was splash planet and decided to play in the "big puddle" as he called it! I screamed like a banshee at the emergency maintenance call center ("We have paged maintenance ma'am there is nothing more we can do"! I am going to call 9-1-1 screamed the crazy woman!). My dad tried hard to keep the water from the carpet. And then sense prevailed. I twisted myself into a boomerang shaped spring toy while I groped in the dark behind the immovable washer for the valves. It was the wet kitchen with water steadily seeping into the carpets that bounced me back in shape.. or it would have taken an entire army to straighten me up! An hour and a half later maintenance arrived to tell me they would be back in the morning as I seemed to have everything under control. But you have seen no wrath as that of the mom of 2... "You will do no such thing.. you will clear the mess in the carpets right now" said I.. and the guy rushed to get a vaccum, rip out the carpets and run a blower to dry the place! While I settled to a night of owl-hood with my little infant!
And M is frolicking on his "business" trip! Now just you wait mister.. this aint funny!! You better have a good story!! Now what are the odds that this happen to me not once, not twice but thrice (and 2 times on the same day?) .. some one out there has some sense of humor I say!

Introducing Tootsie the Chipmunk!
Not so long ago I talked about mid life crisis... apparently when crisis strikes you take action! And boy has my past year been eventful.. granted I have not been blogging quite as much, but I have a story I promise ya!
It all started not too long ago when I was trying to figure out the direction my life was going.. I was tired of just floating along being superfluous and drinking off the margarita cup all day while watching daytime soap operas and turning from a potato to a pumpkin! So I decided to introspect and discovered a mid life crisis!
Then I hit the gym, became a model and lived happily ever after... you wish! Oh yes I hit the gym and got back into my pre-Cheeky clothes (finally!!) and took a long vacation to recuperate from doing nothing :) Back home from my long holiday I took up creative writing as a career.. after all I spent so much time online might as well make it lucrative right? I found that the more creative I get, people did not want to pay me.. just wanted me to write for nothing. However if I wrote boring monlogues on things that I had no knowledge off, I was paid a decent sum! Go figure! So finally I bit the bullet and returned to my IT Career and was all set to become a career woman! But remember the guy up there who needs to have the last laugh! After years and years of contemplation and procrasination, I decided to take the plunge into motherhood part 2. So here I was fighting nausea and commuting to work on the local train!
But there is more, our itchy restless feet put on its act again and we did a coast to coast move in April.. About 6 months pregnant and working full time with a 5 yr old kid who has a wild independent streak, that was bound to be fun! Now I was a work at home mom and all I needed to complete the picture was a mini van. So we did that too.. bought a mini van that I could drive around to complete the mommy image! And Cheeky never fails to remind me that it is "Mommy like"
An accident with a knife, slitting open a thumb; a mini surgery on Cheeky and a grand tour of the mountains on my first drive around in the mini van (call for details... ) later I was ready to pop... 38 weeks preggers I stopped working and started fretting about getting prepared for the baby. Two days later Tootsie was born!
True to our image Cheeky the monkey is now followed by Tootsie the Chipmunk... The family like others say is complete with a boy and a girl.. but by no way regular .. so join us for our next round on the parenting roller coaster as we raise the Chipmunk and the Monkey in our role as zoo keepers :)

Human breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women from Western societies, and a large study of the epidemiology demonstrated strong associations between human prolactin and risk of breast cancer.
Using established models of apoptosis of human breast cancer cell lines, we assessed the role of prolactin in breast cancer cell growth and survival. We showed that prolactin had no effect on the metabolic activity or total cell number of any cell lines. We confirmed endogenous prolactin production by these cells and that the levels varied.
In the presence of a prolactin-neutralising antibody, each of the cell lines responded with the induction of apoptosis as opposed to growth inhibition. The sensitivity of the cell lines to the physiological inducer of apoptosis, C2-ceramide, appeared relative to the levels of endogenous prolactin that they contained. We then showed that exogenously added prolactin acted as a potent survival factor against apoptosis in all the cell lines examined.
In addition, we demonstrated that a prolactin-neutralising antibody in combination with C2-ceramide caused an anticipated, additive increase in cell death.
This study demonstrated that prolactin protects human breast cancer cell lines against apoptosis and this may have important implications for cancer treatment.

The summer is in full swing and everyone's out there reveling in the freedom the season blesses us with. So, while most of you get excited about vacationing in Bali and traipsing around European cities, Tripoto has come up with an off-beat list of places to visit in summer . From active volcanoes to obscure crop circles, we've got you covered. Read on.
Have a place you think should make the list? Let us know in the comments section below!
1. Aogashima, Japan
Japan's smallest village, Aogashima, is home to 170 people. This volcanic island is not the easiest to get to, but the natural saunas and unhindered walks that wait for you are worth the effort.
2. The Valley of Geysers, Kamchatka, Russia
Discovered less than a century ago, the Valley of Geysers lies within the Kronostkiy Wildlife Reserve in the Russian far east. A hotbed of volcanoes and natural springs, this region is also known as the land where fire meets ice and summer is quite relaxing in Kronostkiy.
3. Naadam Festival, Mongolia
Traditional Mongolian Music Performance (via)
The Naadam Festival or 'eriin gurvan naadam' translates to 'the three games of men'. It is held all over Mongolia during Midsummer and is the best time to explore the colorful local culture and customs. There are lot of places to visit in Mongolia in summers.
Orkhon River, Mongolia (via)
4. The Antelope Poppy Reserve in California
Located in the western Mojave Desert, the reserve has 11 kms of trails running through its entirety surrounded by a sea of poppies. Visit for some of the best summer views ever!
5. Tunisia
A perfect merging of the desert and the sea, Tunisia is supposed to be the next big thing in tourism. Visit before it's hit by droves of camera-toting, guide-following tourists. From deserted movie sets to Mediterranean beaches, the country has everything it takes to keep you anchored longer than you planned.
6. Greenland
Greenland doesn't really show up on most travel lists because of its non-committal weather and lack of infrastructure, but therein lies most of its allure. The world's largest island is famous for its friendly locals and some breathtaking, natural vistas that'll make you want to set up summer camp forever.
7. Trotternish, Scotland
Scotland is arguably one of the prettiest places on the planet, and come summer it transforms into an appetizing assortment of grasslands and beaches. Old Man of Storr is a hill on the pristine Isle of Skye that actually resembles a human face. Surrounded by sweeping grasslands and trails, this is as a good as any spot to while away the summers in or best places to visit.
8. Wadi Rum, Jordan
Wadi Rum, in southern Jordan, is famous for its rock and desert landscape, but somewhere in this region lies a collection of fascinating organic farms in stark contrast with the yellow of the desert. These crop circles are part of the Rum Farm – Jordan's largest mixed farm - an initiative by the locals to promote agriculture in the region.
9. Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
This one's for beach bums and ocean lovers. Punta Cana, in eastern Dominican Republic, is home to some of the most bespoke beaches on the western Atlantic coast. If you are in Brazil for the world cup, you can scoot over and unwind after all the football hysteria.
10. Possagno, Italy
Probably the most intriguing addition to this list, Possagno, in Veneto, Italy, is famed 18th-century sculptor, Antonio Canova's hometown.

How to Avoid Getting Hit with Excessive Move-Out Cleaning Charges
Renting a home or apartment definitely has its advantages, but it can also create some extra work when it comes time to move out. Most landlords and apartment complexes will require you to give your place a thorough cleaning before you leave. Of course, they can't force you to do this, but if you don't you will be charged (read: overcharged).
That means the money will either be deducted from your security deposit or billed to you and if you don't pay it you will be put into a database meaning you will likely never be able to rent again until you get it paid off.
Even if you do clean everything some places will still charge you just because they can. Those are some pretty serious consequences for not cleaning your carpets. Even though it may not be fair you will likely want to play ball and do what they ask of you.
After getting all of your furniture and boxes out of your old place, the last thing you want to do is start scrubbing the floors and cleaning the toilets, but this is, unfortunately, a necessary evil. The good news is you don't have to do everything; you can leave the carpet cleaning to the professionals. In fact, many apartments require you to do so.
The following are just some of the many things you will need to clean before moving out if you don't want to be charged:
- Clean all doors and knobs
- Clean all windows
- Clean any soap scum off bathroom tiles and tub or shower
- Clean baseboards and walls
- Clean light switches and outlets
- Clean mirrors
- Clean out all drawers and cabinets
- Clean the inside and outside of the refrigerator, oven, dishwasher, and microwave
- Cut the grass and pull the weeds if you maintain a yard
- Dust the ceiling fixtures (fans, lights)
- Empty and sweep the garage
- Remove all nails and screws from walls and use putty to cover the holes
- Remove all trash or you will be charged a fee
Be sure to fill out your move-in inspection checklist thoroughly, if you didn't do it last time make sure you do it once you get moved into your new home so you are not accountable for any previously existing damage to the unit.

The Immune – Chapter 09
Svetlana looked up at Jameson, shielding her eyes from the early morning sunlight. She lowered both feet over the edge of the hole, looked down into the darkness, then back up at Jameson.
"You know this is going to be messy, right?" she asked. "You'll need to burn everything you're wearing when we're done."
Jameson grimaced, and nodded. He was still wearing the clothes he'd fought in, and they were more or less doomed anyway. After his actions during the previous night, finding someone who would donate replacements for one of his three sets of clothing would be pretty easy. But he also had a good guess at how disgusting it would be down in that hole. The smell alone was enough to keep the rest of the villagers at a safe distance.
She looked down again, then pushed herself off the rim and slid down into the hole. He heard her exclaim in surprise, and leaned over the hole.
"Are you alright?"
"Yes," she replied, a moment later. "I just landed on one of them, that's all." After a pause, she added, "Come on down."
He sat on the edge of the dirt hole, eased his legs down, then slid forward as he'd seen her do. Then he took a deep breath and slid over the edge.
It was farther than he'd thought, and the hole did not go straight down. Roots and stones protruded into the small space, where the Turned had gotten hand- and foot-holds the night before. Many of the walking dead had come up through this hole, widening it as they climbed. Jameson bounced off the rough sides of the slope, bruising his elbow and back, then abruptly landed on his feet, on a soft pile of disturbed earth underneath the hole.
It took his eyes a moment to adjust to the darkness, but there were many other holes around, spilling light into the small cavern he found himself in.
There were still a few dozen of the Turned there with him. Their stench had filled the space, nearly suffocating him. Some of the corpses stood within a meter of where he'd landed, staying out of the columns of light. They mostly stayed still, except for those pushed aside by Svetlana as she explored the cavern.
The space wasn't as large as he expected. Several of the tunnels dug upward went at sharp angles; the Turned had gone in an almost-straight line from the cavern to the people above. The walls were veined with roots of trees, left behind from when the land above was part of the forest.
Jameson looked around for a moment, then stepped between two of the corpses to move toward Svetlana. He looked up at the cavern ceiling. "Why aren't they trying to dig their way upward right now?"
She paused, and looked at him, then looked up through one of the holes near her. "What do you mean?"
"Well, the Turned that hide in the forests look for dark patches, where the sun can't reach them, but once they find enough shade, they stay on the edge of it, ready to move closer to living people the moment the sunlight isn't there. They follow shadows over the course of the day. But down here, there's plenty of dark, and the sun wouldn't hit them until they broke through the ground, right?" He looked back over at her. "So what's stopping them from digging up, then dropping back down as the sunlight hits them?"
Svetlana shrugged, and began moving again, circling the room to get an idea of its size. "Perhaps they're more aware of the sun than we know. I couldn't tell you."
Jameson crossed the space slowly, avoiding the upright corpses where he could, and pushing them gently aside when he had to. It was nearly impossible to find a place to push on them without getting blood or gore on his hands. When he was near to what he thought was the middle of the cavern, he nearly bumped into a small wooden chair. Sitting in it, their back to him, was a dead body. Their wrists and ankles were tied to the chair's arms and legs, and while their long, curly hair was still mostly intact, almost all of the soft tissue had been chewed off. Her clothes – Jameson presumed it was a woman, but couldn't tell – were in shreds, on the cavern floor all around her. There was a lot of blood staining the dirt, but Jameson was surprised that there wasn't more- he'd expected the ground to be saturated with it.
"Here's the missing girl, I think." He shook his head slowly.
"The tunnel out is this way," Svetlana replied. She was ahead of him, perhaps 5 meters away.
"They set her to face the entrance tunnel, so she could see the Turned coming," he said, quietly. "She must have been terrified."
"Yes," Svetlana replied, an edge of disgust in her voice. "Whoever did this has a big, cold, mean streak in them."
"Kevin Jennings would have called them 'sadistic'," Jameson said, circling the chair and the body to move toward Svetlana. "Do you think she'll Turn, and try to get out of the chair?"
"I don't know if there's enough of her left. They'll probably burn her when they drive the Turned out of here."
She was waiting for him, past the crowd of leering corpses, looking down the tunnel ahead of them. He looked past her, into the absolute dark. He couldn't even see reflections off the dead eyes ahead of him – they'd dried out soon after Turning. Then he looked at her.
"We might as well get started on that, don't you think?"
She nodded, then moved toward the nearest hole to the surface. She called upward, and a few moments later, a head appeared above it, looking down.
"Drop down a flame weapon!" she shouted. Then she stood back, looking over at Jameson calmly. "You did a lot last night," she said. "The people saw you and Marlena save a lot of lives."
Jameson smiled at the praise. "Their attitudes did change a little, didn't they? The three of us weren't in immediate danger from the breach, but a lot of my friends were. Besides, with all this talk about the Immune helping out normal people, what better time to back up words with action?"
"Quite so," she said, still smiling.
A flame weapon and its pack dropped to the ground, landing in the soft pile of loose earth under the hole. Svetlana shrugged the pack on smoothly, then lifted the wand of the weapon and made her way to the back of the room. Jameson followed, then circled behind her as she lit the pilot-flame, then leveled the weapon on the center of the room.
The Turned hadn't been moving much, and when the two Immune entered the cavern, the corpses only moved when pushed. Three short bursts from the flame weapon changed that – the Turned shied away, bouncing off the rough dirt walls of the cavern until they had clustered near the narrow tunnel leading out. Svetlana's shoulders heaved in a long sigh, then she fired a long stream at the dead girl in the chair. Soon there was a bonfire in the middle of the cavern, a funeral pyre that drove the Turned into the tunnel.
Svetlana moved around the burning chair and body, firing another short burst to drive the Turned back down the tunnel. Jameson had been more or less flash-blinded by the bursts, and even with the victim's bonfire, he couldn't see very well when the flame weapon stopped firing. He could see her silhouetted as she entered the tunnel, and followed at a safe distance as she chased the Turned along. It was slow going, but eventually he could see light ahead of him.
She cursed under her breath, then fired a long burst, along the right side of the tunnel as if she was aiming past the Turned directly ahead of her. A moment later she fired again on the left.
"There's a steep slope here," she grumbled. "They didn't intend the Turned to get out this way."
"Will they climb?" Jameson asked. "They could climb up to get food last night."
"Yeah, they'll climb, but we'll have to put flame right down on them to get them to do it," she replied. "I'm trying to shoot past these, to get to the leaders. Once a few are out, it'll get easier." She fired another burst, then twisted to look at him. "You'll be able to spot the hole from up above now, especially with me firing. Why don't you go back and get the villagers to bring a flame team out? They'll have better luck than I will."
Jameson nodded, then jogged back down the tunnel to the cavern below the village. He looked up through the hole he'd slid down, and shouted up at the people above. "I'm coming out!"
Finding handholds was easy – if the Turned could do it, he would have no trouble. He could have done it blindfolded, just sliding his hands up to look for roots to grip- and he remembered that for the most part, the Turned were blind. He pushed up above the surface, forcing his arms upward and pulling himself out of the rough hole.
Marlena and Lincoln stood nearby, looking anxious for news. Lincoln looked shocked by the state of Jameson's clothes. The younger man smiled, and shrugged.
"It's not a clean business," he said. Lincoln nodded, his expression clearing.
"It's just a shame, that's all."
Jameson showed a bemused smile, then looked back down the hole. "The cavern is pretty small, and there was someone tied to a chair – what was left of her, anyway."
Bryan was approaching, and was close enough to hear Jameson's first sentence. His face saddened, but he took a deep breath and refocused quickly.
"Svetlana is near the other end of the tunnel, trying to chase the Turned out, but she said the slope there was steep. She said we might have better luck trying to chase them out from above. I was thinking," he continued, his gaze drifting toward the Von Allen sisters, who now sat near Lincoln's carriage, across the village square, "that perhaps the two girls would have some luck with that, with the fire-pellets they were throwing."
Lincoln nodded. "It couldn't hurt to ask." He moved toward the carriage, and the others followed him. Jameson waited for the gypsy to pose the question, but was surprised to see Lincoln motioning for him to speak.
"The other end of the tunnel is a steep slope," Jameson asked. "The flame-weapon from inside isn't driving the Turned out of there. Would you guys be willing to drop another fire-pellet down on them, to convince them to come out?"
The older of the two spoke first. "Sure. We don't have many left, but it'll get a few of them out."
At Jameson's puzzled expression, Hannah piped up. "The capsules burn pretty hot – a few of them will just scorch where they stand. But the rest will probably climb out."
Janelle continued Hannah's thought. "It'll use less fuel that way, anyway – and they won't try to come back down."
Hannah smiled, and continued, "And if they don't run from the fire, they'll come after the living." Janelle smirked, and nodded.
Jameson nodded as well. "I hadn't thought of using anyone alive as bait – I figured everyone had enough of that last night." He looked over toward the wooden cage in the center of town – it had four occupants now, four people who had been infected. Jameson had been close to two of them, and had sensed the infection in them, even as hot flame weapon wands had been pressed on the wounds to cauterize them.
"We'll do it," Janelle said. She looked at her sister, who nodded, then continued, "We used to dodge the Turned all the time back home."
Bryan's head cocked sideward, his eyes widening. "You'd play games with them?" he asked, incredulously.
"Sure," Hannah said, getting to her feet. "If you make a game out of it when you're a kid, then you know what to do when you get caught outside as an adult." She spoke so off-handedly, Bryan's shock seemed comical.
Jameson smiled. "Makes sense to me," he said. Janelle stood to join her sister, and the group moved toward the nearby gate.
They passed the wooden cage, and Jameson looked in again. The families of the four victims had been keeping a constant vigil, taking turns keeping their wounded company and bringing water and food. The four hadn't been alone since they'd agreed to be locked up. Jameson slowed as he approached the cage, bothered by something there that he couldn't quite put his finger on.
Marlena had noticed his gaze, and she slowed her pace to match his. A moment later, they both stopped. Jameson looked at her, then back at the cage. He opened his mouth to ask if she'd noticed anything odd, but then it struck him- as if it had been as obvious as a sunrise, but he hadn't noticed it before.
There is no trace of the Infection in those people, he thought. He almost whispered it aloud. There was no mistaking it – he'd have sensed it from a half-kilometer away. His eyes widened, and he looked back at Marlena.
She nodded, slowly. "Bryan," she called. The rest of the crowd had moved on without them, but now stopped and returned. The village drill-master looked in on the cage, his expression saddening again.
"Two dead, and four…" He stopped mid-sentence, confused by the look on the faces of the two Immune.
"They're going to live, Bryan," Jameson said. He looked the fighter in the eye. "There's no Infection in them.
"Are you serious?" After the previous night, he wasn't going to argue about their senses. He looked from one of them to the other. "How?"
"I don't know," Marlena said. "The young woman was close to me when she was hurt last night, and I sensed it then. But it's not there now."
His expression brightened. "We'll probably keep them for another two days, just to be sure, but…" he took a deep breath, and let it out sharply. "That's great news! Are you sure? I wouldn't want to give them false hope…"
"We're sure," Jameson said, smiling. "Go ahead and tell them, even if you can't tell them you're sure of it. Nothing wrong with being cautious, but they could use some good news."
The drill-master jogged toward the cage, and put his hand on the shoulder of one of the visitors. Jameson and Marlena continued walking, and the Von Allen sisters followed.
Marlena turned to smile at them, and was about to speak when she caught their expressions. They shared a smile, but not a compassionate-relief smile… it was something they knew, and weren't sharing. As the crowd began moving toward the gate again, she fell into step beside the Von Allens. Jameson stayed just ahead of them, listening in as best he could.
"That one woman who was scratched on the leg – you got to her just after I did," he heard Marlena say. "What did you think?"
Janelle answered. "I told them to put a flame weapon wand on her wound, right away," she said. "I'm glad they did it as quickly as they did – it doesn't always work."
"No, it usually doesn't," Marlena replied. Jameson could hear the undercurrent in Marlena's voice, and wondered to himself if Janelle heard it as well.
Ilyana broke through the underbrush, entering the dark of the forest on the side of the road. She had followed the open roads and crossed fields up to this point, but would return to the new home of the Order sooner if she entered the woods. She could sense the Turned nearby her, but knew they would take no notice of her.
She paused, taking a deep breath, then began jogging again, moving around the huge tree trunks and smaller understory trees. She passed a small group of the Turned on her right, and noticed another not too far ahead of her just on the other side of a small clearing.
She stopped in her tracks. The Turned ahead of her was moving, approaching the same clearing. It would be far too bright there for the Turned to break out of the shadows, but they showed no sign of stopping.
Ilyana paused at the clearing's edge. The ferns and wildflowers were tall enough to reach her knees here, and there was more green than she'd remembered seeing anywhere before. The sun lanced through the branches and leaves, throwing spotlights on petals and leaves around her.
Her attention returned to the figure across the clearing. They paused in their tracks as well, eyes focused on Ilyana.
They were huge – both tall and muscular – and they wore the tattered remains of her Order's clothing. The pants-legs had been torn off above the knees, and the sleeves had been removed at the shoulders, both revealing ice-white skin over impossibly-powerful muscles. The face was half-obscured by their hood, but a few locks of white-blond hair had escaped around the leading edge. The eyes blazed, violet and scarlet, and their expression turned from indifference to cold anger.
"Councilor Alexia!" Ilyana exclaimed, brightly. "We all thought you had been killed! Where have you been?" she asked, earnestly.
The councilor moved across the 10-meter space so quickly that Ilyana could barely react. Her instincts warned her of the coming attack, and her hands moved to counter it, but it didn't seem to slow Alexia down at all. Ilyana found herself thrown into one of the larger tree trunks, the breath knocked from her lungs. A moment later, the councilor was upon her again, holding both her wrists above her in one of the oversized, ice-white and ice-cold hands. Alexia pulled up, straining Ilyana's shoulders and straightening her against the tree.
Ilyana fought for her breath, but offered no resistance to the grip on her hands. She didn't think she'd be able to do much, anyway – Alexia had been Champion of the Order three times, and the Immunity had obviously added to the councilor's physical power.
"Councilor, please," she gasped. Then she grunted in pain as she was lifted off the ground by her hands. She was now eye-level with Alexia, and her feet were several centimeters off the ground. Alexia drew close, almost nose-to-nose, and was silent for a long moment. When she spoke, her voice was the growl of a predator.
"Where is he?"
"I don't understand," Ilyana said, but it was becoming clear – Alexia knew about her betrayal. If she revealed the name of the village Dresten and the others were living in, Alexia would certainly show up to rescue Cheszalt and the others. There's no point in hiding my Immunity now- she must know of it. "I got separated from Councilor Cheszalt and the others, and since I can move across the forests easier than they can, I thought to rejoin them at the new city."
Alexia's free hand turned into a fist, and impacted Ilyana's solar plexus. What breath she'd regained after the first hit left her in a rush, but Alexia held her upright. The fist pressed in on Ilyana's chest, the knuckles grinding on the delicate muscles around her lungs. Breathing became harder and harder.
"I don't mean Councilor Cheszalt- he can take care of himself," Alexia growled. "Where… is… he?"
Ilyana's confusion didn't need to be faked. "I don't understand," she repeated, weakly.
The fist left her abdomen, allowing her to get a half of a breath. A moment later, the Councilor struck her directly on her sternum. The force of the punch was unbelievable; it was only her oxygen-deprived state that numbed her enough to remain conscious. She heard and felt her own bones crack, and could distantly tell that her lungs weren't functioning. When her wrists were released, she fell to the ground in a heap. Twisted sideward, she found her limbs unresponsive, and her heartbeat seemed weak, slow, and losing strength with every pulse. She could see the Councilor's legs and boots as they moved away, passing through the brilliant green ferns. She held onto that color as long as she could.

Opps so bad 4 Ilyana.Cudnt even offer a little resistance. Is Councilor Alexia so terribly irrestable?

Brilliant! - Limitless shine
At this time of the year, every car that had to put up with road salt, wet conditions and street dirt during winter can do with a thorough paintwork polish after car wash. Like many others, Olaf G. from Dortmund has the following question: "Which polish is the best for my car's paint condition in spring?"
Answer: To reobtain a nice deep shine, the polish may have a slightly higher content of abrasives. The saphire polish is a true innovation here: it is suitable for the restoration of all paint types and for all paintwork conditions – no matter if heavily weathered or slightly dull. The formula contains high-tech sapphire polishing granules, which have an intensive abrasive effect and thus smooth fine scratches. During polishing, these granules resolve into nano-fine particles producing a perfect glossy finish, which so far has only been possible with polishing machines.
Limitless shine
In contrast to conventional polishes that reach their limits quickly, the repeated treatment with the sapphire polish – even when applied manually – clearly and visibly improves the surfaces. Ambitious users therefore treat partial areas several times to achieve the desired perfect surface quality. Additionally, the sheen effect's long-term resistance has been advanced as well: the gloss lasts much longer than with conventional polishes.
The product comes in a set with practical accessories. One of them is the eye-catching "P-Ball" polishing sponge. Especially developed for this product, it helps apply a well-directed pressure to the paint surface without much effort and achieve an improved paint surface. Also in the set: a microfibre cloth for thorough and smear-free polishing results.
To ensure basic paintwork preservation, the formula contains top-class Carnauba wax. However, an additional intensive sealing with high-quality hard wax is recommended.

"E mālama pono" – MacGarrett and Danny finally track down the missing uranium, which has been used to build a bomb located in the middle of the jungle. Now, they must carefully extract the unstable explosive through treacherous terrain before it detonates, on HAWAII FIVE-0, Friday, Feb. 24 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
Singer Darius Rucker guest stars as Desmond Abati, the bomb maker. Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith guest composed multiple cues for this episode.
("E mālama pono" is Hawaiian for "Handle with Care")
Can you already hear the bitching? Yeah, me too. LOL
But it could be a great episode. Let's hope for the best. Looking forward to seeing more of Claire Forlani.
Yes, this might get kinda unrealistic, but I love these pictures. This has the potential for a great episode. Steve in the jungle, all sweaty, wet and dirty? What else do you need? 😉

Alex Sink understands high-stakes politics.
Sink, a Democrat, became the first woman to win a major-party nomination for Governor in 2010, but she narrowly lost to Rick Scott. Sink's late husband, Bill McBride, also ran for the state's top office in 2002 but lost to Jeb Bush.
Sink also is the only Democrat to win a Florida statewide election in this century when she beat Tom Lee in the race for Chief Financial Officer in 2006.
So, when she says she knows what Gwen Graham faces in her campaign to be Florida's next Governor, it carries considerable weight.
"There is still the woman factor," Sink said. "I don't know if Florida will elect a woman to the highest office in the state because we never have. She has to get through a primary first. She has to look at those pockets of voters who would naturally be inclined to support her and make sure they turn out on Election Day.
"My advice for the primary would be to focus on her two or three strongest issues that appeal to voters, especially those who are concerned about the right of privacy and the right of a woman to control her own body."
Sink endorsed Graham earlier this week, which wasn't a surprise, since Ruth's List, a group Sink helped found, endorsed Graham earlier this year. She is the only woman in among the candidates in either major party.
Ruth's List was formed, as its website says, to build " … a progressive Florida by recruiting and assisting pro-choice Democratic women to successfully run for public office in Tallahassee, in county commissions, in city councils, and in other key positions around Florida."
Winning the Governor's mansion after 20 years of Republican control would be a major coup for that movement. But the main thing, Sink said, is for a Democrat to win.
"I've been, like most Democrats, looking at the overall field and I think any of our field of candidates would make a good Governor," she said. "But I've known Gwen a long time, and she shares my values. I think she has the best chance of any of them to succeed."
For any Democrat to succeed, turnout will be vital.
Sink lost her election to Scott by just 61,550 votes, which she blames in part because of lower-than-expected turnout in the Democratic stronghold on the lower east coast.
That might change in November, given the horror from the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland and President Trump's shaky popularity and his stumbles this week at the summit meeting in Helsinki with Vladimir Putin.
"One of the things we have as Democrats, going off the last 48 hours (with Trump), oh my God," she said. "If we can't see what's going on in the nation right now, then we're pitiful. Period."

I don't believe I will ever know what really happened that day in Dallas 50 years ago
November 22, 2013
50 years ago today JFK was assassinated.
Who did it and why has been a question on many people's lips for much of the last half century.
They say in crime novels and TV shows the person who did it is usually the one with the most to gain.
What did Lee Harvey Oswald have to gain from JFK being dead? Not much that is apparent, mostly his prize seems to have been being shot a couple of days later.
Did someone else have more to gain?
To be honest, I don't believe I will ever know what really happened that day in Dallas 50 years ago.
Like many people, I still care that someone murdered JFK. He was a young President with an agenda for positive change in the USA. Some of that seems to have been carried thru by LBJ, but we'll never know what two terms of JFK would have done for the US or for the world. That is probably the real tragedy.
iPad vs Kindle
January 31, 2012
One steaming hot July 4th I ended up waiting for a transfer at Dallas Airport.
That day in 2007 I saw a Kindle for the first time. I was in the transfers section of the airport for six long hours.
There were ads for the device on the transfer side, but the shop selling it was in the regular departures side. I looked longingly through the glass at the Kindle.
I flew out of Dallas that day, with fireworks exploding in the rouge Texas twilight sky. But with no Kindle in my hand.
I have to admit, I still do not own a Kindle. By the time they arrived in the UK the economy had bombed and I was less keen on buying gadgets.
Now tablet computers have really come into their own. The iPad does so much more than display books – it costs a lot more than the Kindle too. But the Kindle only shows text.
I am thinking it is now time I put right the injustice of Independence Day in Dallas* and got my hands on a digital reader (I do have a Kindle app on my android phone, but the screen can only display about three paragraphs at a time). But the BIG question is:
Kindle or iPad ?????
Advice please…
(*I have been in the USA for Independence Day twice and may describe the other time at some point…)

American Payrolls Rise and Dampen Rate Cut
- 8 July 2019
CURRENCY MARKET OBSERVATIONS – 8 July 2019
Fundamental Outlook The U.S. payroll rose 224,000 in June and above forecast, dampening the traders' expectation of impending rate cut by policymakers. Dollar recovered on Friday and punted the precious metals and Crude demand.
The U.S. President Trump accuses of Europe and China for devaluing their currencies for unfair advantage. Trump also threatens a new tariff on EUR400 billion of European goods. Meanwhile, Vietnam and European Union have signed a treaty of eradicating almost 99 percent tariff on imports made in Asian countries.
China says the trade tariffs must be removed completely if a trade deal is to be reached between U.S. and China. However, President Trump cites the current 25 percent trade tariffs on USD250 billion worth of Chinese imports will be not removed.
European Union leaders have agreed to nominate the International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde as the new head of European Central Bank. Before the weekend, European stock markets cheered in rally.
OPEC allies have agreed to cut supply through March 2020 to support oil prices by maintaining 1.2 million barrels production per day.
Technical Forecast USD/JPY has shown a recovery on Friday as Dollar strengthened. This week, we reckon the trend will trade slightly higher but contain from 107.50 – 109.00 range. Only breaking beyond the range will extend into a new direction in either headway.
EUR/USD has dipped before the weekend but nearing to support area. This week, the trend could be supported at 1.1150 – 1.1180 region and rebound for short-covering. Topside resistance is identified at 1.1300 area in case of pull-up retracement. Technically, the movement of Dollar Index will play an essential role in triggering an inverse relationship to Euro.
GBP/USD has come back to 1.2500 benchmark as Pound recedes in waning confidence. This week, we foresee a strong resistance will lay across 1.2600 level in case of recovery. However, the breaking beneath 1.2500 support will open a huge potential to test 1.2370 level on the downside. Uncertainty has been looming over British economy as BREXIT approaches in October.
Gold prices reversed down on Friday after following the surge in Dollar. This week, we forecast the yellow metal will trade in weaker demand but still may encounter some bargain-hunting activities at USD1380 /oz area. Overall range is expected to move from USD1380 – 1420 /oz for the time being until we see a breakthrough in either directional headway.
WTI Crude prices have been standing firm on USD56.50 /barrel level and likely to rise this week. Technically, the trend will trade in bullish sentiment from USD56 – USD60 /barrel range. However, piercing above USD60 /barrel will lift the prices to USD63 /barrel as our next target.
Silver prices dived on Friday with yellow metal as Dollar rose. This week, we presume the trend will go lower and likely to test USD15.60 /oz again before bargain-hunting emerges. Resistance is identified at USD16.20 /oz in case of upward retracement.
Crude Palm Oil (FCPO) Futures on Bursa Derivatives traded in small range last week while hovering around RM1950 /MT level. The market is supported from falling further but could not summon enough demand to drive up the prices. This week, the trend may bounce up to RM2000 /MT so long as it doesn't penetrate beneath RM1930 /MT support. On the contrary, breaking beneath the RM1930 /MT will head down to RM1880 /MT region.
