The Kiss of Deception by Mary E. Pearson
She steals ancient documents from the Chancellor's secret collection.
She is pursued by bounty hunters sent by her own father.
She is Princess Lia, seventeen, First Daughter of the House of Morrighan.
The Kingdom of Morrighan is steeped in tradition and the stories of a bygone world, but some traditions Lia can't abide. Like having to marry someone she's never met to secure a political alliance.
Fed up and ready for a new life, Lia flees to a distant village on the morning of her wedding. She settles in among the common folk, intrigued when two mysterious and handsome strangers arrive—and unaware that one is the jilted prince and the other an assassin sent to kill her. Deceptions swirl and Lia finds herself on the brink of unlocking perilous secrets—secrets that may unravel her world—even as she feels herself falling in love.
I read this about two years ago and, unfortunately, never continued reading the series. I really liked it though, and I already have the second book because I NEED to finish reading this series – especially considering the cliffhanger at the end 😩
It's the story of a princess named Lia, who runs away on her wedding day. She refuses to get married to someone she never met, so she teams up with her best friend, who is sort of a servant, and they escape together.
Throughout the story, we read from the perspective of two men who are following her – one is the Prince she was to marry, and the other is an assassin sent out to kill her. We don't know which one of them is the assassin.
It's a fantasy story with a thrilling mystery effect that I really enjoyed, and I can't wait to get back into this world!

Urban Fantasy
Between the Blade and the Heart by Amanda Hocking
As one of Odin's Valkyries, Malin's greatest responsibility is to slay immortals and return them to the underworld. The balance of the world rests on her ability to carry out orders. But when Malin discovers that her mother spared the life of an immortal who was destined to die, her world is thrown into chaos.
As Malin wrestles with the knowledge that her mother might not be who she thought, she's also thrust into the path of a gorgeous blue-eyed guy named Asher who needs her help slaying the rogue immortal who destroyed his family. Malin, along with her best friend and her ex-girlfriend, must decide where her loyalties lie…and whether helping Asher enact his revenge is worth the risk—to the world and to her heart.
This was my first read of this year and I absolutely loved it! I'm not a fan of urban fantasy books, but this one was right up my alley.
It's about Malin, who is a Valkyrie – which means her job is to 'kill' immortals, as in, send them to a sort-of underworld where immortals live when they're done on Earth. She finds out some secrets and goes on a dangerous adventure with her best friend, her ex-girlfriend, and a cute boy that is stealing her heart.
It's very fun, but also stressful because she deals with some really bad people. The mythology in this book is super nice, it's definitely a positive in this book! I wrote a full review for it, you can read it here.

The Selection by Kiera Cass
For thirty-five girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The opportunity to escape the life laid out for them since birth. To be swept up in a world of glittering gowns and priceless jewels. To live in a palace and compete for the heart of gorgeous Prince Maxon.
But for America Singer, being Selected is a nightmare. It means turning her back on her secret love with Aspen, who is a caste below her. Leaving her home to enter a fierce competition for a crown she doesn't want. Living in a palace that is constantly threatened by violent rebel attacks.
Then America meets Prince Maxon. Gradually, she starts to question all the plans she's made for herself—and realizes that the life she's always dreamed of may not compare to a future she never imagined.
This is one of those books filled with clichés, but that are absolutely delicious. If you're anything like me, you'll be rolling your eyes every few pages, but you'll devour the whole trilogy in the blink of an eye because this is truly addictive!
Prince Maxon is totally swoon-worthy, and I love the romance in this series. There's also a political aspect, considering we are talking about a dystopian society, so that's an interesting part of the story!

Young Adult Contemporary
In Real Life by Jessica Love
Hannah Cho and Nick Cooper have been best friends since 8th grade. They talk for hours on the phone, regularly shower each other with presents, and know everything there is to know about one another.
There's just one problem: Hannah and Nick have never actually met.
Hannah has spent her entire life doing what she's supposed to, but when her senior year spring break plans get ruined by a rule-breaker, she decides to break a rule or two herself. She impulsively decides to road trip to Las Vegas, her older sister and BFF in tow, to surprise Nick and finally declare her more-than-friend feelings for him.
Hannah's surprise romantic gesture backfires when she gets to Vegas and finds out that Nick has been keeping some major secrets. Hannah knows the real Nick can't be that different from the online Nick she knows and loves, but now she only has night in Sin City to figure out what her feelings for Nick really are, all while discovering how life can change when you break the rules every now and then.
This is a cute love story – you might say it's a typical YA romance -, but there's an element that I really appreciated: long distance.
It's a subject that speaks to me, as I've been in long-distance relationships before, so it really moved me when I read it. I don't think I've ever mentioned this book before, probably because I read it so long ago that I tend to forget about it, but I really loved it at the time!

New Adult Contemporary
Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover
When Tate Collins meets airline pilot Miles Archer, she knows it isn't love at first sight. They wouldn't even go so far as to consider themselves friends. The only thing Tate and Miles have in common is an undeniable mutual attraction. Once their desires are out in the open, they realize they have the perfect set-up. He doesn't want love, she doesn't have time for love, so that just leaves the sex. Their arrangement could be surprisingly seamless, as long as Tate can stick to the only two rules Miles has for her.
Never ask about the past.
Don't expect a future.
They think they can handle it, but realize almost immediately they can't handle it at all.
Hearts get infiltrated.
Promises get broken.
Rules get shattered.
Love gets ugly.
This was the first book I ever read by Colleen Hoover and, even though I haven't read any others, I know this is an author whose books I will always like.
This is my favorite New Adult novel, by far. It's filled with emotions, and there's lots of sex, which I can appreciate. If you don't like graphic sex scenes, don't go for this book – after all, it's about a strictly physical relationship that turns into something else.

Middle Grade
Furthermore by Tahereh Mafi
Alice Alexis Queensmeadow, 12, rates three things most important: Mother, who wouldn't miss her; magic and color, which seem to elude her; and Father, who always loved her. Father disappeared from Ferenwood with only a ruler, almost three years ago. But she will have to travel through the mythical, dangerous land of Furthermore, where down can be up, paper is alive, and left can be both right and very, very wrong. Her only companion is Oliver whose own magic is based in lies and deceit. Alice must first find herself—and hold fast to the magic of love in the face of loss.
As you probably know by now, Tahereh Mafi is one of my favorite authors. When she announced this middle-grade book was coming out, I lost my mind and had to get it – and I was not disappointed.
It's an adventure book that reminds me of Alice in Wonderland, in which the main character teams up with a boy that loves to lie, in an attempt to find her missing father. I wrote a full review of the book with pictures of the gorgeous paperback edition – click here to check it out!

The Devil Crept In by Ania Ahlborn
Young Jude Brighton has been missing for three days, and while the search for him is in full swing in the small town of Deer Valley, Oregon, the locals are starting to lose hope. They're well aware that the first forty-eight hours are critical and after that, the odds usually point to a worst-case scenario. And despite Stevie Clark's youth, he knows that, too; he's seen the cop shows. He knows what each ticking moment may mean for Jude, his cousin and best friend.
That, and there was that boy, Max Larsen…the one from years ago, found dead after also disappearing under mysterious circumstances. And then there were the animals: pets gone missing out of yards. For years, the residents of Deer Valley have murmured about these unsolved crimes…and that a killer may still be lurking around their quiet town. Now, fear is reborn—and for Stevie, who is determined to find out what really happened to Jude, the awful truth may be too horrifying to imagine.
This was the first horror book I read, and it definitely made me interested in reading more. It's the story of Stevie, a boy whose cousin, Jude, disappears out of the blue. A few days later, after several attempts of Stevie at finding him, Jude comes back – but it's not really Jude. He's different, he acts weird, and Stevie tries his best to make him normal again.
This book is terrifying at times, and disturbing all around. If you're into horror movies/books, I would definitely give this one a try! Read my full review here.

The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen
When you read this book, you will make many assumptions.
You will assume you are reading about a jealous wife and her obsession with her replacement.
You will assume you are reading about a woman about to enter a new marriage with the man she loves.
You will assume the first wife was a disaster and that the husband was well rid of her.
You will assume you know the motives, the history, the anatomy of the relationships.
Assume nothing.
Discover the next blockbuster novel of suspense, and get ready for the read of your life.
This book will probably be in my top 5 of the year. One of (if not the) best thrillers I've ever read.
It's about a woman who recently divorced, and she is having a hard time dealing with it. Then, we have another POV, of the woman her ex-husband is now going to marry. She feels as though she's being watched.
It seems like a regular story until you're hit with a plot twist that completely changes everything. This book is simply genius, and I need to get myself a physical copy of it because I currently only have the ebook!

The Lost Woman by Sara Blædel
A housewife is the target of a shocking, methodical killing. Shot with a hunting rifle through her kitchen window, the woman is dead before she hits the ground.
Though murdered in England, it turns out that the woman, Sofie Parker, is actually a Danish citizen who's been on the Missing Persons list for almost two decades–so Louise Rick is called on to the case. Then, in an unexpected twist, the police discover that Sofie had been reported missing eighteen years ago by none other than Eik, Louise Rick's police colleague and lover.
Impulsive as ever, Eik rushes to England, and ends up in jail on suspicion of Sofie's murder. Completely blindsided by Eik's connection to the case, Louise is thoroughly unsettled and sick with worry, yet she must set aside her own emotional turmoil if she hopes to find the killer in what will become her most controversial case yet…
At the beginning of this book, we read from the perspective of a killer. He is crouching, aiming, and then shooting at a woman through her window. Then, detective Louise, our main character, starts investigating this murder. Next thing we know, Louise's boyfriend is a suspect on the case.
This is a Nordic Noir book full of revelations that deals with controversial and sensitive subjects. It's a quick, intriguing read that I definitely recommend. You can read my full review here.

You Know Me Well by Nina LaCour and David Levithan
Mark and Kate have sat next to each other for an entire year, but have never spoken. For whatever reason, their paths outside of class have never crossed.
That is, until Kate spots Mark miles away from home, out in the city for a wild, unexpected night. Kate is lost, having just run away from a chance to finally meet the girl she has been in love with from afar. Mark, meanwhile, is in love with his best friend Ryan, who may or may not feel the same way.
When Kate and Mark meet up, little do they know how important they will become to each other—and how, in a very short time, they will know each other better than any of the people who are supposed to know them more.
This is another book I never mentioned here on the blog because I read it forever ago. However, it's one of my favorite LGBT books. Whevener I want an LGBT read, I tend to go to Nina LaCour's books, she's very good!
You Know Me Well is about two high school students, Kate and Mark, who sit next to each other in class but have never spoken. One crazy night, their paths intertwine, and a beautiful, strong friendship is born.
It's a cute YA romance, but I wouldn't say the romance is the focus of this book – it's their amazing friendship! It's a different contemporary book, so I thought it would be the best recommendation for today 😊

Lysistrata by Aristophanes
Aristophanes' comic masterpiece of war and sex remains one of the greatest plays ever written. Led by the title character, the women of the warring city-states of Greece agree to withhold sexual favours with their husbands until they agree to cease fighting. The war of the sexes that ensues makes Lysistrata a comedy without peer in the history of theatre.
I've talked about this comedy in a wrap-up before. It's absolutely brilliant, and a very accurate depiction of how women were seen in Ancient Greece.
Lysistrata gathers the Greek women and gets them to agree to refrain from sex, as a way to stop the Peloponnesian War. It's extremely misogynistic, but it's sure to make you laugh at some of the dialogue!

The Illiad by Homer
The Iliad is one of the two great epics of Homer, and is typically described as one of the greatest war stories of all time, but to say the Iliad is a war story does not begin to describe the emotional sweep of its action and characters: Achilles, Helen, Hector, and other heroes of Greek myth and history in the tenth and final year of the Greek siege of Troy.
The start of it all – one of the first Western pieces of literature. It is brilliant, and I love how, as you read it, you can see the influences of The Iliad on basically every book you've ever read.
It tells the story of Achilles, a Greek warrior whose honor is attacked by Agamemnon. The background is the Trojan War, and different conflicts take place between Gods, humans, and Gods and humans. If you haven't read The Iliad, please do so, you won't regret it – just make sure you choose a good translation!

Literary Fiction
Atonement by Ian McEwan
Ian McEwan's symphonic novel of love and war, childhood and class, guilt and forgiveness provides all the satisfaction of a brilliant narrative and the provocation we have come to expect from this master of English prose.
On a hot summer day in 1934, thirteen-year-old Briony Tallis witnesses a moment's flirtation between her older sister, Cecilia, and Robbie Turner, the son of a servant and Cecilia's childhood friend. But Briony's incomplete grasp of adult motives—together with her precocious literary gifts—brings about a crime that will change all their lives. As it follows that crime's repercussions through the chaos and carnage of World War II and into the close of the twentieth century, Atonement engages the reader on every conceivable level, with an ease and authority that mark it as a genuine masterpiece.
The first and only literary fiction book I've read. I wouldn't have read it if it wasn't required for my English class last semester – but I am SO glad that I had to read it.
This is a historical fiction novel set in the 1930's and it follows Briony. She sees something that she doesn't understand, an interaction between her sister and the son of a servant. Then, what she saw brings consequences to everyone, including herself. Throughout the rest of the novel, we see her try to atone for what she did.
This is brilliantly written and even more brilliantly plotted, so I recommend it, 100%!

SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome by Mary Beard
In SPQR, an instant classic, Mary Beard narrates the history of Rome "with passion and without technical jargon" and demonstrates how "a slightly shabby Iron Age village" rose to become the "undisputed hegemon of the Mediterranean" (Wall Street Journal). Hailed by critics as animating "the grand sweep and the intimate details that bring the distant past vividly to life" (Economist) in a way that makes "your hair stand on end" (Christian Science Monitor) and spanning nearly a thousand years of history, this "highly informative, highly readable" (Dallas Morning News) work examines not just how we think of ancient Rome but challenges the comfortable historical perspectives that have existed for centuries. With its nuanced attention to class, democratic struggles, and the lives of entire groups of people omitted from the historical narrative for centuries, SPQR will to shape our view of Roman history for decades to come.
I read this book for an essay, and I went in expecting a textbook kind of thing. However, I was pleasantly surprised, as Beard writes about history in a very simple and easy-to-understand way. She also makes sure to always show both sides of the coin, to let you know that there are two perspectives in every moment of Roman history.
If you're a history enthusiast, I definitely recommend Mary Beard's work – she even has documentaries in which she gives you a tour of different Roman monuments!

"Growing up on the Mexican border, the one public library in town was the size of an average living room. Then we moved to Texas and my mom took us down to our new library. I couldn't believe everything it had. It was a big space! They had blocks to play with, Disney movies to check out, and best of all, everything was free."
Today, as a bilingual (Spanish) youth librarian for Troutdale Library, Violeta helps connect East County youth to the library world she fell in love with from an early age. She especially enjoys the connection she's made with teen patrons.
"Working with teens is underrated. I can show them my goofiest self, and they really open up. We want to make the library a desirable and inclusive space for everyone. It can be a place of acceptance for them as they go from seeing the world as black and white to seeing the 'grays' in life."
With Violeta's leadership, Troutdale is reviving its Teen Council, an opportunity for teens from the neighborhood to develop leadership skills and get involved. The Teen Council meets bimonthly and develops programs for other youth to get involved in the library.
This May, Troutdale will host a special three-part event for teens and youth, Live in a Better World and Give Back, which will be an opportunity for attendees to craft and make tote bags that will be donated to women and children at the Rose Haven day shelter.
In addition to her role as youth librarian, Violeta worked for the past nine months as a regional librarian in East County, supporting Gresham, Troutdale, Rockwood and Fairview libraries. In her role, she spent time reaching out to organizations and listening to what East County neighborhoods want from their library; coordinating resource lists for patrons, such as where in East County houseless patrons can get basic services; and leading training opportunities for other youth librarians.
As Violeta reached out to neighborhood organizations, she recognized an increasing need for the library to be out telling the community all it can offers — for free — that goes beyond books.
"Some people think of us as another government organization, but we are so dedicated to helping people get the information they need, connecting them to resources and most importantly, protecting their privacy," said Violeta.
As a librarian dedicated to serving East County, Violeta's commitment and passion for helping people in her community, and connecting them to the library, remains at the center of her work.
"I've always felt at home in the library. I want to help ensure others feel that way too."

Available to ACVS and ECVS Diplomates, residents and practicing veterinarians with extensive experience with stifle surgery and bone plating
CORA based leveling osteotomy (CBLO) is a procedure that modifies the tibial plateau angle (TPA) to prevent tibial translation (positive cranial drawer) in the cranial cruciate deficient stifle. Many advantages of the procedure have been described with important advantages being ease of planning, execution of the osteotomy, and rapid healing of the osteotomy. Rapid healing and early return to function are the result of bone contact along the entire surface of the osteotomy and the ability to apply compression across the osteotomy. This laboratory will review and execute basic technique in simulated bone followed by planning and execution of the CBLO in more difficult cases. Each participant will plan and execute the procedure in cases of excessive slope, CrCL injury coupled with MPL in toy breeds, and CBLO injury in Juvenile dogs with active growth plates. Having completed a basic CBLO course or having a good working knowledge of CORA methodology is recommended.

This all day. But I'll take all 3 in one year as wellNo way they release 3 OG colorways of one model with Nike air in one year. Someone's lyin'
I'd love it, but JB is going to milk the NA remastered series for as long as they can. Also does anyone remember in 2016 when these and the black cements were rumored and nothing came of it?This all day. But I'll take all 3 in one year as well
Why return them?Third times the charm is the saying. Hope the 3rd retro of these is done better. These are my most needed jordan. I'm tired of waiting for these to be done right. I bought 06's on rd and returned them the very next day. Enough is enough. 4's are my favorite Jordan and since I've been wanting these for so long, I think they might have replaced fire red 4's as my favorite 4.
I'm guessing that paper thin leather they made them with had something to do with it. I hated them and loved them at the same time due to that myselfWhy return them?

Ever since the U.S. Supreme Court removed virtually all restrictions on corporate money in politics, groups around the country have been attempting to overturn the results of "Citizens United."
Now communities such as Oak Park are giving residents a voice on whether that should happen.
Oak Park Township has placed an advisory referendum on Tuesday's ballot asking voters for governments on all levels to consider a constitutional amendment regulating political funding of campaigns.
The initiative also makes it clear that the rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution are intended for people, not coporations, what some proponents of the referendum have called "corporate personhood."
Here's the intiative:
"Oak Park Township, Amend Constitution"
"Shall the people of Oak Park stand with communities across the country in requesting that our village, county, state and federal representatives enact resolutions and legislation, including consideration for amending the Constitution of the United States to establish that: a) Political money is not the same as speech, and therefore that money shall be regulated; and b) The rights guaranteed by the Constitution were and are primarily intended for human beings, not corporations? "
The question is being promoted by an organization called Move to Amend, a coalition of progressive organizations, faith-based groups and individuals founded in 2009 to, among other things, get money out of politics. Founding groups include the Green Party; Code Pink, a woman's group that has worked to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan; and the Sierra Club.
In June 2010, five justices ruled in Citizens United that the government has no business regulating political speech; while four dissenters said that allowing corporate money to flood the political marketplace would corrupt democracy, according to the New York Times.

Did you know that pregnancy can actually affect your teeth? With your hormone levels changing, your dietary habits may also change. Hormones and habits changing can also lead to dental problems developing in your mouth. Today, we will give advice for those who suffer from tooth sensitivity, cavities and dry mouth.
If you have experienced discomfort after eating certain kinds of food, you might want to avoid those foods all together. In most instances, these "trigger foods" should stop being triggers after your baby is born. Similarly, temperature related sensitivity should also resolve soon after.
Women commonly experience cravings during their pregnancy, but you may want to limit your sweets. Sugar can feed the bacteria naturally found in your mouth, which they could convert into acids. The acids could potentially eat through the enamel of your teeth and lead to cavities. If the craving proves too strong to resist, you could rinse your mouth with water and brush your teeth well afterwards.
Some women may suffer from dry mouth during their pregnancy, which can increase their risk for tooth decay and infections. If you have a dry mouth, you might try drinking more water and chewing on sugarless gum to promote saliva production. Saliva helps to naturally cleanse the mouth of food particles. Without an adequate supply of saliva to clean the mouth, the food particles may be feeding the bacteria and allowing cavities to form.
If you want more information on how pregnancy can affect your dental health, or if you would like to schedule an appointment with Drs. Hawkins, Smith and Hassinger, please contact Hawkins Dental Group at 806-353-4361. We would be thrilled to help you retain your healthy smile in our Amarillo, Texas, office.

Project schedule risk assessment
This article urges project managers to develop qualified, schedule risk assessments both before work begins, and throughout the project in order to provide early warnings of schedule problems, and to identify and address areas needing attention. Sources of schedule risk include underdeveloped schedules, the inherent uncertainty of work involving advanced technology and other challenges, and an aggressive or over-optimistic bias in estimating activity durations. Techniques for assessing schedule risk that utilize the Critical Path Method (CPM), Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT), and several other analytical approaches are profiled and compared. The key to risk assessment is quantification. Training in developing realistic estimates and risk ranges would benefit project managers, and help them to promote objective quantification as an integral part of their discipline.

One of the most annoying aspects of a mouse is that pesky cord. It is always getting tangled up and often requires you to pull it up from behind your desk to enable full unrestricted motion of your mouse. There are products that help combat this, but what if you could get rid of the cord and still maintain lightning fast response times? Well, with Corsair's Ironclaw RGB Wireless you can have laser precision with its 18,000 DPI optical sensor, speedy sub 1ms response times using 2.4 GHz SLIPSTREAM Wireless, and finally free yourself from that troublesome wire.
Last year's Maximus X Formula was effectively the 10-year anniversary of the Formula family and it brought Intel's Coffey Lake CPU's and Z370 chipset into the Formula family. A short while later, Intel refreshed the CPU line and added the Z390 chipset to the 300 series lineup. While the latest 9th gen CPU's are fully compatible with the outgoing 8th gen Maximus X Formula, ASUS's has updated the platform to bring new features such as integrated Wireless and native USB 3.1 Gen 2 powered by the Z390 chipset. Add this to the now standard liquid cooling capable VRM with integrated water block from EKWB, ROG Armor, pre-mounted I/O Shield and updates like an oversized LiveDash Display, new NODE connectivity, and 5-gigabit networking. Is this the formula for cranking your next build to eleven?
Have you ever had to move large files back and forth, from one computer to the next, but when you look into your drawer all you see are small sized thumb drives and an m.2 SSD. You sit there and think to yourself, "I wish I could integrate this m.2 into one of the thumb drives." Enter the Orico NVME M.2 SSD Enclosure. This device turns your NVME SSD into an external hard drive. With its sleek, lightweight compact design, everyone should have one of these on their desks.
With the rise of completive PC gaming, companies are now creating limited edition products based on popular games and streamers. NZXT is no different and has been creating a variety of limited-edition cases such as H500 Overwatch, H700 PUBG, H700 Nuka-Cola for some time. Now joining the ranks of these special-edition cases is the H700i Ninja, which has been designed based on well-known Twitch Streamer Tyler "Ninja" Blevins. The H700i Ninja has all the features of the original H700i such as all-steel construction, tempered glass side panel, custom cable management system and a PSU shroud but has been given a custom "Ninja" theme. This theme consists of a custom blue/yellow paint, an etched "Ninja" on the tempered glass panel, and Ninja's logo painted on the back. Being a limited-edition case, the H700i Ninja does retail at a premium price point of $274.99 but at the time of this review is currently on sale for $199.99.
Corsair has been known for their power supplies for quite some time now, but the original RM series released in 2013 proved to be a popular choice for its 80+ Gold efficiency, Modular cables, and zero-RPM fan modes coming in at an affordable price. If it's not broke, don't fix it right? Well, quite a bit can change in the PC world in six years and that gives Corsair the opportunity to polish what was already a popular product. The 2019 update to the RM series starts with three models, the RM650, RM750, and RM850. Most of the features you've come to love to remain like the fully-modular low-profile cables, but the warranty doubles to 10 years, and the price drops. Corsair also has some new tricks up its sleeve like support for Windows 10's upcoming Modern Standby feature. Is there anything not to love? Let's find out!
Corsair's Crystal Series of cases have been a staple for builders and is well-known for including multiple tempered glass panels enabling you to see every aspect of your PC. The newest addition to this popular line is Corsair's 680X RGB which sports three tempered glass side panels, high-airflow design, and dual chamber design. Other standout features include magnetic hinged side panel, vertical GPU mount, Lighting Node PRO controller and three pre-installed LL120 fans. With the inclusion of the LL120 fans and the Lighting Node controller, it is no surprise that the 680X commands a slightly higher price tag over other cases from the Crystal Series lineup with an MSRP of $259.99.
No matter how affordable or how epically expensive you build is, it's only as good as the power it's using. While we would all love to have those monster power supplies with matching price tags to ensure we have bullet-proof power delivery, most of us don't need 1000+ watts. Does that mean you should settle for a lower quality unit? Cooler Master says absolutely not! Introducing the new V Gold series power supply family. Featuring all the professional grade perks like heavy 16-gauge PCIe cables, single-rail DC-DC technology, semi-fanless operation, 100% Japanese capacitors, fully modular cables and a 10-year warranty to back it all up, the V Gold series is done playing around.
While many PC enthusiasts swear only by water-cooling, many prefer the simplicity and safety of a quality air cooler. Much of the time, this presents a bit of a dilemma, you can either go with a smaller air cooler that isn't as effective as you want, or you can go with a larger air cooler and have to figure out how to fit it in your system. You may even run into the cooler encroaching on the space of other components like memory modules, forcing you to leave a slot or two open for cooler clearance. Be Quiet! saves you that choice with the new Dark Rock Slim. Featuring a minuscule footprint that will not block memory slots, a 120mm Silent Wings 3 fan for silent operation, and an enthusiast level 180W TDP for serious cooling, the Dark Rock Slim is ready to take on any high-end build.
ASRock teased its first GPU about a year ago, an AMD powered RX580 card under the new Phantom Gaming sub-brand. Unfortunately, the world was still suffering from the then hot and heavy Crypto-Craze and very few gamers were able to get their hands on the GPU, or any GPU really for that matter. That big of chaos has since calmed down and street prices have fallen back to around MSRP. ASRock has since spun the Phantom Gaming sub-brand up into Phantom Gaming Alliance with matching products from Cooler Master and Team Group to start. We're going to backtrack a couple of months and take a look at one of the GPU's that started it all, the Phantom Gaming X Radeon RX580 8G OC.
Cooler Master has extended its line of SK keyboards with the new SK621. The SK621 boosts the same great features like low-profile switches, extra-flat keycaps, on-the-fly controls, and a brushed aluminum top of other SK keyboards. To set the SK621 apart from the other models, Cooler Master has added Bluetooth connectivity and has a 60% form factor design. Even with the addition of Bluetooth, the SK621 has the same MSRP of its SK630 counterpart at $119.99.
In a world of RGB everything, not all PC builders appreciate the chaos induced by a mix-matched pile of RGB parts, each doing their own thing. Some want sleek, subtle and pure understated performance. If this sounds like exactly your cup of tea, Viper Gaming has exactly the right memory for you. Designed entirely for true performance, Viper forgoes the unicorn disco and wraps the Viper Steel modules in a sleek, brushed aluminum heat spreader to handle speeds up to 4400MHz out of the box. Does Viper's Steel DDR4 bite? Let's find out!
Silicon Power is no stranger to the world of flash memory and SSD's, but today we'll be taking a look at one of the first entries into the high-speed NVMe market segment. Featuring the latest Phison E12 controller, the P34A80 Drive can run at 3200MB/s read and 3000MB/s writes. Coming in 3 capacities from 256GB to 1TB, the P34A80 gives you both speed and capacity at an affordable price with zero compromises. Let's check out how it performs!

Walpole, MA - Walpole Express Goaltender Connor Rodericks has committed to Endicott College in Beverly, Mass. for the fall of 2016. The 6'2", 185 lbs. netminder from Buzzards Bay, Mass. is one of the elite goaltenders at this level. He'll protect the crease for the Gulls, which play in the very competitive ECAC Northeast Conference.
"Connor came to us last year from the Portsmouth Abbey School and was able to put up monster numbers in his first season with the Express," said Express Head Coach John Lounsbury. "Connor returned this year ready to take the lead and has once again proved to be one of the best goalies in the league. Not only is Connor a great goaltender, off the ice he is one of the best kids I have ever coached. He is going to be incredibly difficult to replace."
When choosing a college Connor visited both Division 1 and 3 schools, finding the perfect fit with Endicott College. "I am very excited to further my education and hockey career at Endicott College," Rodericks said. "I would like to thank my family and everyone who has helped me along the way. I especially want to thank the Walpole Express for their support over the past two seasons, Without them this opportunity would not have been possible."
"Our Express family extends hearty congratulations to Connor and his family," Lounsbury said.

…because I just don't have enough projects to work on (I'm procrastinating with other crafts)!? A few more pants finished! These are SO EASY to make, seriously…and I even bought some fancy organic knits and eco-friendly hemp cloth for these…since they only take 1/4 yard to make (for up to 4T) they are cheap at only $2.50 total cost for even the most expensive fabric. I made Coen a pair this time too…and he LOVES them…woot. In pictures of course…maybe someday I'll get around to taking some pics of my kids faces…sheesh!
I had fun adding my own little design alterations to these ones…I think they turned out really great and I'm learning more about sewing clothes, which is WAAY different then quilts!
It's all in the details…(don't mind the stained ironing board!)
These'll be good when he's a bit bigger…last time I sew with this fabric, seriously painful (but totally cute and worth it)
Because all 5 month olds need pockets, you know, for their binky.
Hope you all had a great weekend!

[SW136] 04/12/2014 message notes by Rev. Susan J. Wynn ©2014
"Rebuilding the Church —Provision"
First we intercede standing in the gap between a broken church and a God who heals brokenness. Then we seek the provision necessary to rebuild.
Jesus has shown me something in the Book of Nehemiah. It's about today's church, and what she must be taught and how she must be exhorted. In Nehemiah, the Lord reveals the necessary steps to rebuilding:
Chapter 1 — Interceding
Chapter 2 — Requesting Christ's provision
Chapters 3 and 4 — Possessing God's strength and wisdom
Chapter 5 — Convicting regarding sin
Chapter 6 — Discerning
Chapters 8 and 9 — Repenting
Chapter 10 — Consecrating
Chapter 13 — Cleansing
Ezekiel 22:26-31 describes the spiritual condition of Israel that led to the Babylonian exile of Judah (southern Israel) about a hundred years after Samaria (northern Israel). Judah had sinned greatly against the Lord, and refused to listen to the prophets the Lord sent to them, who warned them to repent. And so God sent them into exile in Babylon for 70 years.
Nehemiah 2
Having heard the report that the remnant in Judah was under great distress and reproach, Nehemiah interceded for the sons of Israel, asking the Lord to forgive, and reminding Him of His promise that, if they would return to Him, He would return them to Israel. He asked the Lord for mercy when he went before King Artaxerxes.
It was not by might, nor by power, but by the Spirit that Jersusalem and its walls and temple would be rebuilt (Zechariah 4:6). Only by the power of the Holy Spirit, in Spirit-filled believers, will the church be rebuilt.
As intercessors for today's church, we ask the Lord Jesus Christ, head of the church, to have compassion on His church. Unlike Nehemiah, thought, we do not deal with a pagan king as an intermediary used by God — we go to the King of kings and Lord of lords, the One who is above all things:
Colossians 1:16 For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities — all things have been created through Him and for Him. 17 He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. 18 He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything.
The earth is His, and all that is in it (Psalm 24:1)!
He preserves His promise to those who love and obey Him (Nehemiah 1:5)!
We can come before Him and ask whatever we will, and He will do it:
John 14:12 "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father. 13 " Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 "If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it."
The Lord sees our sadness of heart over the brokenness in the church (Nehemiah 2:2). But we are not afraid, as Nehemiah rightfully was afraid of the pagan king. No, perfect love casts out fear of punishment:
1John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love.
And so:
Hebrews 4:16 Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Oh, our King lives forever! As we sit at the table with the Father, Son and Spirit, the Son will ask us, "What would you request?"
Our desires are Your desires, Lord Jesus. We have come to do Your will, O Lord; Your Law is written in our hearts (Psalm 40:6)!
We will say, "Send me to Your broken church, that we may rebuild it" (v. 5).
"Whom shall We send, and who shall go for Us?" Isaiah said, "Here am I! Send me!" He saw the Lord highly exalted, with the train of His robe filling the temple. His heart was cleansed by the coal of fire touching His lips, in Isaiah 6!
It will please the King of kings to send us (v. 7), and we will return to Him at the appointed time.
Our fathers were in the church, and we want to bring it back to what it was in those days. The church was with Christ at one time, but now all but a remnant have been exiled from God's presence.
What must we ask our King for?
— First, authority. We must have authority to pass through Enemy territory, from the One who is greater than our Enemy, Satan:
Luke 10:19 "Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you. 20 "Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are recorded in heaven."
Beloved, in today's church, few have asked for Christ's authority to pass through Enemy territory. Therefore we are blindsided and ambushed, deceived and destroyed.
We cannot ask for Christ's authority over Satan if we are disobedient. But if we will ask Him to change our hearts, so we love and obey Him, He will surely grant us the authority we lack!
— Second, timber. Nehemiah needed natural wood.
We need the whole message of the Cross, from the bounty of the King. What is the whole message?
God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son. We all know that one.
Why was that necessary? He was, indeed, a sin offering to cover our past sins.
But the message of the Cross goes beyond that — it is the rest of the story, the part which must be in place for the church to be rebuilt.
God sent Jesus Christ that we may have His Spirit, His heart, His love, His nature, with our old, rebellious nature crucified, in a moment of time!
That is the timber by which the church will be rebuilt — the whole message of the Cross! We must ask Him to put steel in our backbones so we boldly speak it!
In today's church, beloved, the message of the Cross is the message of the "CRO." It is half the message. It leaves out the "SS" which is Sin Sickness. That is a disease only Christ can heal, and that by way of His work on the cross and afterwards, when He rose from the dead after three days. He ascended to the Father, was glorified, and poured out the Holy Spirit, who fills us with God's holiness and gives us a new heart, a new nature!
Yes, we continue to grow in grace and in the knowledge of Jesus Christ, but we no longer resist as the Lord molds and shapes! We have given up our rights to ourselves! We are dead, and now He lives in us (Galatians 2:20).
We must return to building on the one foundation, Christ, so our work will not be found by Him to be wood, hay and straw.
1Corinthians 3:11 For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13 each man's work will become evident; for the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man's work. 14 If any man's work which he has built on it remains, he will receive a reward. 15 If any man's work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.
As the Nehemiahs for today's church, we call that all pastors once again build on the foundation which is Christ!
When we ask the Lord for the authority and the whole message of the Cross, He will go beyond what we have asked. He will send with us (Verse 9) officers of the army and horsemen — angels, ministering servants:
Hebrews 1:13 But to which of the angels has He ever said,
14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out to render service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?
They will assist us when the Enemy hears of the church's rebuilding and is displeased that we seek her welfare, just as Sanballat and Tobiah were displeased!
But our Lord has won the victory. Satan has nothing in Him (John 14:30). And we walk in Christ's victory, when we have called the Father to do the whole gospel in us (Luke 11:13)!
Jesus Christ WILL have a church glorious, without spot or wrinkle, holy and blameless (Ephesians 5:27). But just as with Nehemiah, He wants those who love and obey Him to participate in the church's rebuilding (Ephesians 4:11), even to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ (Ephesians 4:13).
Will you join me, O remnant, and rebuild the church? The One we go to for provision will certainly provide.
Next week, we will celebrate His victory, on Resurrection Sunday. Then we will return to Nehemiah and learn the next step to rebuilding.

If you approach a stroke survivor on their right side and they do not notice you, they may have left side neglect (a.k.a. hemineglect).
Similarly, a stroke survivor who does not notice the left side of their environment may have right side neglect.
Understanding Hemineglect After Stroke
Hemineglect is a post-stroke side effect that impairs the patient's awareness of the body and environment on the affected side.
This is an attention issue that's also known as unilateral neglect.
Like most stroke side effects, this condition can be treated through rehabilitation.
Before we dig into treatment, you should understand the difference between right- and left-side neglect.
Right Side Neglect vs Left Side Neglect
Hemineglect coincides with the location of the stroke.
When one side of the brain is affected, the survivor with hemineglect will be unaware of the opposite side of the body and environment.
Here are specific examples:
What is left side neglect?
When someone has hemineglect after a stroke in the right hemisphere, they will not notice you when approached from their left side.
This patient may show other sights of hemineglect by only eating the right side of their plate (i.e. neglecting the left side).
Hemineglect seems to occur more frequently after right-sided strokes.
What is right side neglect?
When a stroke affects the left hemisphere of the brain, the patient with hemineglect may not notice the right side of their environment.
Patients with right-sided neglect may be unresponsive when approached from their right side.
What Does Hemineglect Look Like?
It's important to note that hemineglect is not a vision problem. Patients with hemineglect can see their affected side just fine.
Rather, hemineglect is an attention problem.
Here are some symptoms of hemineglect:
- Does not notice half of an object
- Unaware of the environment on the affected side
- Does not notice people who approach from the affected side
- Failure to take care of the affected side of the body
If someone with hemineglect is asked to fill in the numbers on a clock, they'll do something like this:
Image from Journal of Neurology
Unilateral neglect can coincide with other stroke side effects, so it's important to work closely with your physiatrist for correct diagnosis.
Treatment for Hemineglect
Sometimes hemineglect goes away on its own – also known as spontaneous recovery.
Other times, you need to participate in rehabilitation.
Treatment for hemineglect requires training the brain to notice the affected side again.
This training is achieved through repetitive practice, which activates neuroplasticity and rewires the brain.
(If you're unfamiliar, you should read up on why neuroplasticity is the #1 concept for stroke recovery.)
Now that you know that repetitive practice can help reverse hemineglect, what exactly should you practice?
Awareness Training
Stroke patients with hemineglect need to practice paying attention to their affected side.
As you practice this, the brain will learn to pay attention and respond to stimuli on the affected side.
Here are some clever ways to treat hemineglect:
- Place objects on your neglected side, like television remotes and nightstands. This will help train you to look for objects on that side.
- Have a caregiver or family member guide your affected hand through tasks as you complete them, also bringing more awareness and movement into your neglected side.
- Have friends and family members sit on your neglected side when they talk to you so that you learn to look in that direction.
By training yourself to attend to your neglected side, you will slowly improve your awareness.
As a result, you will reduce your hemineglect.
Overcoming Hemineglect / Unilateral Neglect
Hemineglect occurs when stroke affects one side of the brain, impairing the patient's ability to be aware of the opposite side of the body and environment.
Like most stroke side effects, you can often reverse this condition by retraining the brain through repetitive practice.
By frequently turning toward your affected side, for example, your brain will learn to notice stimuli on that side.
With good repetition, the brain will rewire itself and your hemineglect will subside.

"Firefly" story
Written by Alison M. DOBELL
* * * * *
The tension in the commons room was palpable. Heavy and brooding, thick with worry and a medly of competing emotions. Kaylee could not stop wringing her hands. "What're we gonna do? Port stabliser's been sheared off. Even if we can get power back up to the engine we ain't goin' nowhere but in circles."
Zoe was only partly listening to Serenity's mechanic. Accepting the grim news but not allowing it to deflect her from her main mission. Eyes fastened on Inara Serra she wanted answers not obfuscation or prevarication. The Captain had warned her about Inara but Zoe hadn't been fully convinced. Now she was inclined to think the Captain had been right. "Want to tell us what's really goin' on, Inara?"
The quietly spoken words had more effect that an outright accusation would have done. Inara inwardly flinched and tried to compose herself as best as she could. "I know as much as the rest of you."
"Let's not lie. Ain't got time to be siftin' through what you do an' don't wanna tell us an' unless I'm mistaken the Cap'n don't have the luxury of waitin' for you to come clean."
"It isn't what you think."
Everyone stared at the Companion. Inara looked a bit startled and unsettled at blurting the words out before they could be filtered through her brain. She took a deep breath, she needed to get herself under control and with the Alliance Cruiser waiting for her to get back to them there was not much time. When she paused as if uncertain whether to continue, Simon decided it was time to say something.
"I heard you and the Captain arguing."
Her eyes changed from uncertain and sorrowful to needle sharp lasers pinning him with her gaze, as if she could strip every thought from his head with just a glance. Simon found it unnerving but did not break eye contact. "We always quarrel."
The attempt at nonchalence did not have the desired effect. "I didn't mean to eavesdrop but the hatch was open. You admitted to being a spy."
Zoe's eyes snapped from Inara to Simon but before she could berate him for not telling her he continued, his voice calm and even as if he were talking about nothing more contentious that the weather forecast.
"You said you would not stop until every member of the crew vilified the Captain as much as you do."
"We were quarreling. People say a lot of things they don't mean when they quarrel."
"Yes," said Simon slowly "and they also let slip what they really think."
Kaylee turned wounded eyes on Simon. "That ain't fair, 'Nara wouldn't never do anythin' to hurt any one of us."
"Is that true, Inara?" Asked Simon softly.
When the Companion remained silent Zoe took a step closer, her eyes narrowed. "Best you answer the question."
Anger flashed in those beautiful chocolate brown eyes. "To what? The ravings of a mad man?"
"Simon ain't mad." Said Kaylee in confusion, her eyes flitting back and forth in search of clarification. "Are ya, Simon?"
He shook his head but didn't take his eyes off Inara. "I could have sworn you liked being on Serenity. That you were our friend."
A prick of pain pierced her flawless armour and for a moment the Companion looked vulnerable. "I am."
"As fascinatin' as this is, we got an Alliance Cruiser breathin' down our necks." Grumbled Jayne.
Zoe shot him an annoyed look then turned back to Inara. "What were you quarrelin' about?"
"It's private."
Without warning Zoe slammed the flat of her hand down on the kitchen table making the others jump. Inara looked visibly shaken by the sheer anger flashing in the first mate's eyes.
"*Gou le*, Inara! Any minute now that Cruiser is gonna be takin' you off this ship an' back to Sihnon, leavin' us adrift. I wanna know what is goin' on an' I wanna know now, *dong ma*?"
Feeling a little weak Inara sank into the nearest chair, her control wavering. Shepherd Book wanted to reassure her but wasn't sure that was the best thing. If he offered sympathy too soon she could just clam right up and they would be nowhere nearer finding out the truth.
Zoe placed her hands palms down on the table and leaned forward. "Now. What were you quarrelin' about with the Cap'n?"
To Zoe's surprise the Companion looked as if she was on the brink of tears. Inara licked her lips. "*Ni bu dong*."
"Might if you ever get around to explainin'."
With a sigh Inara seemed to deflate somewhat, her eyes dropping to fix onto the wood surface of the old table before rising slowly to look Zoe in the eye. Quietly the others took their seats around the table, only Wash remaining standing, ready to run up to the bridge if need be. Simon reached out for Kaylee's hand and gave it a squeeze. She gave him a grateful look, sniffed quiety then looked at Inara. Her expectent face now almost reluctant to hear what her friend had to say.
"I had a brother." Her words were quiet, hushed, and the crew fell completely silent as if knowing any interruption would stop her continuing. "He was four years older than me." A small sad smile flitted across her lips with some distant memory now tinged with pain. "When I first rented the shuttle I told the Captain that I had supported Unification and that's the truth. You must understand I was brought up on an Alliance world, allied with the Guild almost as soon as I could walk and talk. My parents had wealth and position and supported the Alliance. We believed what we were told and the lives we led cushioned our consciences against the raw facts of the wider 'verse. In the War of Independence my brother fought for the Alliance. Father was so proud. I feared for him but he was so excited, so brave. He wanted to help make a better world and we all supported him in that desire."
When she fell silent it was Shepherd Book who tentatively nudged her into continuing. "Many people supported Unification just as many supported the Independents. It's nothing to be ashamed of, Inara."
She gave him a look he could not read. "You would think that, wouldn't you?" Inara paused as if to steel herself in laying an old heavy burden to rest. "For many years I never knew what happened to him. Father assumed, as did we, that Sendhil was killed in one of the many engagements of the war. So many died. So much senseless death and destruction and for what? Officially he was declared Missing In Action but we all knew it for the euphimism it was. That is, until recently."
Zoe gave her a puzzled look. "What happened?"
"I got a wave. Information, proof, that my brother didn't die in battle."
A look of relief momentarily lit up Kaylee's face. "He's alive?"
Wash didn't smile, he was watching Inara's face closely and knew more bad news was surely coming.
"*Bu qu*, he died. Rather, was killed. Murdered." Her gaze fastened on Zoe with an anger so deep and cold that it burned more than hot coals. "He was executed."
The Shepherd wanted to remind her that many atrocities on both sides had happened during the war but something in the Companion's face cautioned him to keep his peace. Zoe looked unsettled as if an inkling of Inara's meaning was filtering into her brainpan. "What are you sayin'?"
"Malcolm Reynolds killed my brother!"
"Wasn't they at war?" Said Jayne.
"*Bu qu*, the War was over Jayne. My brother was captured and being taken to one of the Independent prison camps when he was stopped and brought before Mal. There was not even a trial or any charges levied against him just a crazy Browncoat Sergeant incensed with losing the War to the better side. A man who took great pleasure in exacting a mean spiteful revenge on an unarmed man."
"That isn't true! I was with the Cap'n all through the war, if such a thing had happened I would'a known it. You lie."
Inara shook her head. "No, I don't, though your reaction is no more than I would expect. Blinded by your loyalty you see only what you want to see."
"An' you have no loyalty at all! Just because someone made up some tale doesn't mean it's true Inara."
The Companion nodded, her whole demeanour one of weary resignation. "That was my initial reaction until I saw the proof." Lifting her head she stiffened her spine. "Which is why I was intent on exacting my own revenge."
Wash felt as if he had been sucker punched. This was Inara Serra. Their beautiful and gracious friend. A Companion. A woman who spent her life serving others. "Are you sayin' you arranged for this to happen?"
She shook her head. "No, this isn't any of my doin'. I admit I wanted to bring Mal down, show the rest of you what kind of man you've been following."
"And the Alliance Cruiser?" Asked the Shepherd tentatively.
A small smile that had nothing to do with humour dusted the ruby curve of her lips. "I'm afraid that was the Guild's response to my call for assistance. I had intended help for us all but it seems the Commandant was only instructed to extend that aid to me. I will speak with him."
Simon looked uncomfortable. "What are you going to say?"
Realising he was worried about him and his sister being arrested she hastened to allay his fear. "*Fang xin*, I'll ask for aid in bringing Serenity to a suitable port for repair."
Shepherd Book was not the only one who noticed what she wasn't saying. "And the Captain? You will tell them about the pirates attacking the ship then taking the Captain and cargo I presume."
It was strange watching that unusually vulnerable and open face close off, emotions compartmentalised and locked away where they could not betray her. Inara's eyes hardened and her lips flattened into a thin unforgiving line. "As far as I'm concerned they can put him in irons and lock him away until the end of his natural life!"
Badger was doing some deep thinking. Had to handle this right if he wanted to keep his hands lily white and seemingly clean. Let others take the risk. After all, that was what they were paid to do. Anxiously he paced, his mind racing and reviewing the chain of events over and over again. With an annoyed sigh of frustration Badger paused. "Should'a let the *wangba dan* die." But even though he had crossed verbal swords with Malcolm Reynolds many a time he knew the Captain did not deserve to die. He had over reacted, assumed he was being cheated when he wasn't, though what in the nine hells the *feng le fafeng* Captain was doing delaying delivery of his cargo to go ferrying his painted whore to and fro was a mystery to him. Especially as she didn't seem to harbour similar feelings back. Or maybe he was the one missing something here?
He would have liked to just call Mountjoy and let the man take care of it for him but Badger knew that it was one thing to beat Malcolm Reynolds to within an inch of his life, say sorry and let him go and quite another to end his life without just cause. Not that he would mind if the man didn't have an insanely loyal crew. Not for the first time he wondered what it was about Reynolds that bound folk to him. If he could find a way to bottle and sell such loyalty he would be a very rich man. And then there was the stab of guilt plaguing him. Not a thing he was accustomed to feeling but Reynolds was one of his more reliable transport Captains. Also had a sense of stubborn honour which he regularly insulted and mocked yet secretly admired. Not that he would ever tell the *yuchun* man what he really thought. Plus, once word got out - and it eventually would - of what he had done to Reynolds he would be lucky to get anyone to middle man for him. Badger huffed out an expansive breath, knowing what he needed to do but hating the implication that he was somehow backing down.
When Mountjoy's face came on the screen Badger ignored the glint of anticipation in the man's eyes. "Is he still alive?"
Mountjoy didn't need to ask who he was talking about. "For now, *weishenme*?"
"Looked like he lost a lot a blood, *dui*?"
"Yeah, like to bleed out an' die."
Badger nodded. "But he ain't dead yet?"
The other man's eyes narrowed slightly. "*Bu qu*."
"Want you to put 'im in his shuttle an' cut it lose."
"Don't think that's a good idea..."
Straightening to his full height Badger sneered nastily at him. "You ain't paid to think, *dong ma*? Just don't want Reynolds bein' traced to your ship or my cargo. Let someone else find him driftin'. Probably bleed to death before he's found anyway."
"Then why don't I make certain? Dead men tell no tales."
"Nah, changed my mind. See, I thought he was cheatin' me, over reacted a bit. Not that teachin' him a little lesson wasn't fun. So cut him lose then finish the job."
Mountjoy was frowning. Badger didn't like the fact that he did not just agree but appeared to be thinking about it.
"You got a problem with followin' orders, Mountjoy?"
Something in the little King-pin's stance warned the mercenary not to cross Badger on this. He gave a reluctant nod. "No. If that's what you want?"
Badger nodded and leaned forward to switch off the monitor, pausing just before he hit the switch. "Ta ta for now an' I expect you back 'ere with my money within three days."
Commandant Boden was irritated. He did not like his ship and crew being used to ferry whores but his hands were tied. The Companion Inara Serra was well connected and the Alliance had too many lucrative ties to the Guild to afford to upset them over such a innocuous request. Biting back his distaste he managed to affect an air of polite welcome. If he lacked the words and grace that Inara was used to she made no mention of it.
"*Xie xie ni*, Commandant. I hope you have not been taken too far out of your way?"
The man inwardly bristled at her temerity but hid it well. "*Mei shi*."
Before he could make a polite withdrawal Inara took a step towards him and continued speaking. "I appreciate your assistance as does the Guild. May I be assured that the pirate ship that attacked us will be apprehended?"
"We are instructed to take you immediately to Sihnon."
Inara smiled. "I am sure you have other ships in the area that can be alerted? I would also appreciate any aid that could be extended to the ship Serenity."
Gritting his teeth Commandant Boden gave a curt nod. "*Dang ran*, Miss Serra. We will of course alert the authorities at Sihnon and have assistance despatched."
Inara wanted to press him and ask him to request that assistance himself but the man had already turned and walked briskly away before she could get the words out. Pressing her lips together she was forced to follow at a more leisurely pace, realising all too quickly that she was in no position to order an Alliance Commandant to do anything at all. Biting her tongue she realised her friends on Serenity would have to wait for help to arrive.
Pain. His constant companion. How feckless was he to not appreciate her constancy? Vaguely he felt the lull and pitch of movement as if he sailed on troubled waters. The metallic tang in his mouth only added to the queasy feeling swirling around in his belly, the agony in his legs making him feel weak and nauseous. Consciousness seemed a distant shore he was not like to reach any time soon, nightmare images jumbled fact with fiction in a bizarre tableau that confused and disorientated him. He tried to remember what had happened. Where he was. Then darkness would rob him of sentience and he would be lost and unknowing until next he drifted nearer towards waking.
Declan Mountjoy was in a foul mood. Tristan said nothing but concentrated all his attention on flying the ship. With a scowl Mountjoy leaned over the pilot's shoulder and checked their heading as if he could not trust the man to do his job unaided. Then with a grunt and a huff he spun round and stomped off the bridge. Tristan Ward closed his eyes and took a couple of deep steadying breaths. Why the good gorram was he on this crew? Then he remembered. Having been naive enough to sign up with Mountjoy three months ago he had discovered too late the nature of the man and by the time he realised his mistake there was no way to leave without making the Captain angry with the kind of unreasoned ire that ended men's lives in a heartbeat. The man was mad, deranged in ways that unsettled the pilot and kept him silent and wary.
As the Captain made his way down to the cargo bay he bellowed for Styl. The man met him as he entered the cargo bay and gave him a questioning look. Mountjoy pointed at the slumped figure of Serenity's Captain, lying where they had left him in a widening pool of blood.
"Put him on that *lese* shuttle an' cut it lose."
Styl just nodded and grabbed Mal under the arms easily lifting his shoulders off the ground and dragging him towards the shuttle. As soon as the shuttle hatch was sealed Styl shut and sealed the docking hatch.
"When you've done that," Mountjoy growled "clean up that mess."
Styl nodded and detached the shuttle then went to get a bucket and some water.
Everyone was more than a little stunned when Inara left. Wash watched the Alliance Cruiser until it was no more than a speck in his viewscreen. Stunned he turned to stare at his wife. "They didn't even offer to help us!"
Zoe patted his shoulder as if to console him, her look suitably grim. "They're Alliance, *bao bei*."
Shepherd Book looked worried. "I'm more concerned about whether or not they go after the pirate ship. That Commandant didn't look too happy to be helping Inara."
"Yeah, he did kind'a look like the Guild had a gun to his head." Said Wash.
"Gun or no gun we have to get the Cap'n back."
Wash looked at his wife for a moment. "Um, you know we aren't goin' anywhere, *dui*?"
"Kaylee'll fix Serenity."
"Not without a dry dock. The port stabliser's shot to pieces."
She frowned. "What are you sayin', *zhangfu*?"
"We need to fix the ship before we can go anywhere."
"Do we have power?"
Wash nodded. "Yeah but it won't do us any good until we find a way to fly in a straight line."
Zoe glared into the Black and cursed every purplebelly that had ever lived. Shepherd Book interrupted her less than happy thoughts. "I think I may be able to help."
"You got a spare stabiliser in your pocket we don't know about, Shepherd?"
Book laughed, a deep warm rumble that Zoe realised had been missing for too long. "No, but we are less than a day from Sihnon and my order has a monastery there."
Now she looked genuinely amused, her heart somewhat lightened at the notion that they might be able to get some help after all. "They got a ship repair yard too?"
The slow warm smile on the Preacher's face was like a feast in a time of famine. "Everybody was something else before taking orders, Zoe. I wouldn't be surprised to find quite a pool of talent at our disposal."
"Can't say I'd say no to some divine intervention."
"Then I'll get on it right away."
Wash noticed that as soon as Book had gone the worry settled back on his wife's face. He hated to see her like this. "*Fang xin, bao bei*, we'll get him back."
She did not say anything but let her husband draw her into the warm and welcome circle of his embrace. For a few moments at least she could allow herself the luxury of believing that was true.
Hours passed. Silence stretched from star to star across the Black and ignored the small vessel. Inside the temperature was dropping. With the engine off there was no power for heating though life support was endlessly cycling there was no sign of life. Malcolm Reynolds lay in an ungainly heap where Styl had thrown him, blood smeared along the deck of the shuttle where he had been dragged. No attempt had been made to bind his wounds.
In the back of the shuttle, hidden in shadow, eyes watched and waited. Patient and confident. No rush.
He was dreaming or mayhap it was another nightmare. Did it matter when he couldn't wake up? Or maybe he was awake just refusing to accept it? The jumble of disjointed memories were sorting themselves out, the sequence of events jostling for place in an order that would make sense. Images from the past intercut with those of the present. Faces long forgotten made cameo appearances in the snapshot story of his life. The dead and the dying having more life in them than he did right then. Not that he knew that or could have brought himself to care if he had. Slowly consciousness tugged at him, pulling at the veil of darkness binding him in shadow. A sluggish sense of urgency teased him yet made no sense. The pain filtering in again like an unwelcome guest, dragging him down down down where the light could not reach and warmth would never touch him again.
Touch. Movement. A cacophony of blurred sound. Noise stretched and pulled out of shape making no sense to his ears. As if all his body parts were detached and even his mind was no longer his own. Thoughts came in random streams that trickled out leading nowhere. He hurt, the pain an almost overwhelming pressure stealing the air from his lungs and the will from his mind. It was so much easier to just let go only something was tethering him, holding him back, keeping his consciousness linked to the pain. He wanted to shake it off, leave those shackles behind but something nagged at him. A memory? A sound? No. A voice. A touch even. Confused he began to drift again then his world tilted, the images in his head tumbling over each other in fragments of light and colour. A low dismal elongation of sound reached his ears baffling his befuddled brain. It took forever for it to occur to him that the sound was a voice, his. Not words but pain, ground out of him as if it had been squeezed from his body under pressure. Distorted and raw.
Drifting off again he felt a sense of movement. Stabs of pain shot through his body causing him to cry out. Consciousness swept back to him like some sick tide tossing and turning him on each unfeeling wave. His eyes rocked open and shut, open and shut, like a toy doll in a child's hands. Hush baby, don't you cry. He could not hush and tears were the salt ocean that held him captive. No. Wait. Sound. A snuffle. He felt more than heard it and thought that odd. Then it came again only it seemed to bypass his ears and echo inside his head.
*You have to wake. Qing*
His eyelids fluttered but wouldn't stay open. "I do?"
*Qu. Can't do this alone*
Again with the voice in his head and the not talking. Or mayhap he was talking to himself?
*You aren't dreaming Captain but you need to wake up.*
It took him a moment or two to place that voice. "River?"
Happiness seeped through words now spoken. He felt small hands cradle him, a head leaning over him as he tried to focus. Her smile of joy was tear stained. "Going home."
He blinked. Dazed but in a good way. "We are?"
"Simon'll fix you."
"Am I broke?"
River choked back a sob, not wanting to upset him because she was crying. Vaguely he was aware of the moisture on his face and for the longest time thought the tears were his own.

When confronted with a minor emergency, Inver Hills normally carries out responsibilities largely independently. However, in the event of a major emergency/disaster, the actions of Inver Hills Community College and the Office of the Chancellor must be closely coordinated to respond effectively. The Inver Hills Community College Emergency Preparedness Plan encompasses several additional plans which support the overall All Hazards Planning Architecture. The objectives of these plans are:
The campus publishes an Emergency Reference Guide to assist the community in common emergencies that may occur while on campus. These Reference Guides are located in all classrooms and are distributed to employees. Review a copy of the current Emergency Reference Guide.
StarAlert is Inver Hills Community College's emergency notification system for students and employees. It delivers time-sensitive emergency notifications and updates to you from campus leaders and the Public Safety Department, within minutes via phone calls, texts and/or emails.
All students and employees will receive StarAlert messages to their primary contact methods listed with the college.

ARMISTICE 1918, November 11. We can only imagine what that moment was like when the announcement came.
IN the ever-expanding age of consumerism, the idea of paying for a product or a service is understood, and accepted.
THE silence from the Barossa, Light & Gawler Football Association following the SANFL Community Football's (CFL) decision to charge Willaston Football Club for breaching the salary cap is deafening.
SHOW off those cooking and house work skills, that you don't actually have, when relatives come to stay.
IN soccer terms, the Safe Schools gaffe from Liberal candidate for Light Karen McColl wouldn't go as far as being called an own goal, but it was certainly an opportunity that sailed well wide of the net.
ENGAGING. Combative. Informative. Three words that certainly describe The Bunyip's debate between incumbent Liberal Member for Schubert Stephan Knoll and SA-BEST leader and candidate for Hartley Nick Xenophon, held last Wednesday night.
