Looking back at the horror genre, you realize a lot of things. One of them being, how like every other genre, there's ups and downs. It's been a rocky road at times, no doubt. Horror has also had a golden era, where it was "the bees knees" and everyone couldn't get enough of it. Actors wanted to be in them, and everyone wanted to go see them! Horror still has it's highs and lows, though the main thing that's changed is how extreme the genre has become.
When I think back on horror I think of countless classics, brilliant movies that I will carry with me in my mind and heart until death. I think of Vincent Price, Elvira, John Carpenter, Wes Craven and, Dario Argento.
There was particularly a really good era of horror in the 60's through the 70's. I mean, we were hit with some old classics that are still with us. Movies that to us, will never be outdone or remade to be any greater than it is! It was the golden age of exploitation cinema, especially after 1969's Easy Rider . Funnily enough, this was also the same time that had almost solely done nothing but horror films, and dominated the genre.
In the 60's we were hit with films such as 's Psycho(1960), the film that would go on to be one of the greatest American cinema achievements. We also got films like The Brainiac (1961), The Phantom of the Opera (1962), The Birds (1963), And The Last Man on Earth (1964) starring Vincent Price. The Last Man on Earth was actually the first film adaptation to Richard Matheson's I Am Legend novel, which would later go on to be remade in 1971 and re-titled The Omega Man, starring Charlton Heston. It was remade a third time in 2007, and went by the original title of the book, and starred . Other memorable films to be released are Orgy of the Dead (1965), The Black Cat (1966), Eye of the Devil (1967), Night of the Living Dead (1968), The Corpse (1969).
This is an era that I truly am sorry I missed. However, I'm lucky enough to have a loving and supporting family who supplied me with these films growing up. Mostly because they liked them, and already owned them on their own. I may be young, but I've done my history with cinema. I've been there and seen that. Vincent Price has become a hero of mine, and is to me more iconic than Boris Karloff or Bela Lugosi.
Vincent Price has helped push horror into a new direction. But, enough about him, that's a whole other discussion for later.
We then hit the 70's, which is arguably amongst almost all film buffs, to be the greatest decade of movies. The classics are not only priceless, they're timeless. In the horror genre alone, the 70's was a huge focal point. We had the films The Dunnwich Horror (1970), Willard (1971), which would be remade in 2003 and star Crispin Glover. Wes Craven's The Last House on the Left (1972), which shocked audiences around the world. And The Exorcist (1973), The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974), Jaws (1975), which are some of the greatest and innovative horror films ever made.
If you're a horror fan, answer this question: Out of the movies listed in the last paragraph, how many do you like?
If you're a genre nut like me, you answered just about all of them. C'mon, that's serious decade for horror. But there's a reason I stopped half through the decade, and that's because in the following year of 1976, The film Carrie was released, and became an instant sensation and classic. The Brian DePalma film still echoes off the walls of the horror genre. Everyone knows what the movie Carrie is.
But let's rewind a bit, because up until this point something very important's been going on. Back in the year 1947, a man was born who would change the horror genre forever. He didn't know it yet, be he grew into not just a forefather of horror, but a God of horror. That person I am talking about is, Stephen King.
Born in Portland Main, Stephen King had somewhat of a rocky start in life. At two years old, Stephen's father left after saying that he was "going to buy a pack of cigarettes", and never returned. This caused financial strain at times, leaving Nellie Ruth (King's mother) to raise Stephen and her adopted son David by her lonesome.
After some moving around, Stephen and his family moved back to Maine when he was 11-years-old. His mother became a caregiver at a facility for the mentally challenged.
While at a young age, King liked reading horror comics such as Tales from the Crypt. He even started showing an interest in writing while he was still in school, though he did it for fun. His first story published independently, was "I Was a Teenage Grave Robber".
In 1970 King graduated from the University of Maine with a Bachelor of Arts in English. However, unable to find an immediate job as a teacher, he started selling stories to Men's magazine's. Some of which are even in his book Night Shift. Eventually King found a job as a teacher, but still proceeded to contribute stories to magazine's and come up with ideas for novels.
In 1973, Carrie was accepted by Doubleday publishing. The irony is that, King actually threw away his first draft of the book after becoming discouraged. Luckily, his wife Tabitha, to whom he married in 1971, encouraged him to finish it. And he did. Just three years later, Carrie would be made into the aforementioned classic by Scarface director Brian DePalma.
The question is, where would we be today in horror if Carrie had never gotten finished, and his wife never retrieved his trashed draft and made him finish? We wouldn't be where we are today, that's for sure!
The thing a lot of people don't know about Stephen is, a lot of people think he got his taste for the darker side of things when he was a child and witnessed his friend get hit and killed by a train. King himself has never written anything about the matter and apparently has no memory of it. Just his family witnessing him traumatized after the event.
Whatever it was, regardless of if it was a tragic death, or something else we don't know about, some spark finally struck flame, and we're very blessed that it did. Because King would go on to be one of, if not the biggest influence on the horror genre as a whole. He changed horrors ugly face to something much more sinister.
After both the book and film success of Carrie, King pushed on and published his second book, Salem's Lot, in 1975, just a year after the release of Carrie. Two years later (1977) came The Shining, which would go on to be the 2nd film adaptation of King's writing in 1980. Though King hates the film and has much disdain for Kubrick (director), the film became one of the greatest horror films ever made. Even if it didn't follow King's book tooth and nail.
After The Shining, Stephen would release 16 more stories and books, most of them would become motion pictures including, but not limited to Pet Sematary, which was published in 1983. His 3rd film adaption (not including his work on Creepshow) would be Cujo, in 1983. The book was released in 1981. Just like King's other stories, they were extreme for the times, very dark and primal. Each one giving us a breath of originality and a new terror. Horror films stepped it up a notch after the impact of his movies. His work eased the genre into a more terrifying, raw, and extreme new level.
No matter how scary his books and films based around his books are, they are and always will be enjoyable. The inner child in_ King_ speaks through his work, and we all experience the fun of being scared. There's always an entertainment value in his work that prevents you from solely being afraid, it's fun.
In the year 1983, more films came out in a more extreme fashion that reminisced Kubrick's The Shining based after King's work. And thus, David Cronenberg's Videodrome was born. Cronenberg is a whole case onto himself, but you can't help but pick up how things have become more open and acceptable after The Shining. Which is funny, because upon being first received, The Shining wasn't praised like it is today. 1983 also dawned Sleepaway Camp, which is one of the cruelest and shocking slashers ever filmed.
Now, one could argue that King's influence on horror had nothing to do with Sleepaway Camp or Videodrome, but you can't help but notice that his shocking stories went right along with the more extreme films coming out. Either he opened the doorway, or he was ahead of the time, ready to make the next step in the genre.
But that's not all, King's works went on to dominate the 90's as well in both the book and movie industry. We were given a goldmine of creative and visionary genius because of Stephen. The horror films in the 90's based off of King's brilliant stories are Graveyard Shift, Misery, which is possibly the best film adaption of a King novel. We also got the television movies of IT, and The Stand. Plus the flicks Sometimes They Come Back, Sleepwalkers, Needful Things, The Tommy Knockers, and even sequels to Children of the Corn and Pet Sematary. Not to forget The Manglor, Thinner, The Night Flier, Quicksilver Highway, and Trucks.
But wait a minute, because that's not all. See, I only mentioned some of the films from the 90's that were based on works of King. I didn't mention how there's still being films and television series' being made to this day such as Bag of Bones and Under the Dome. So as you can see, King isn't a one-trick pony. He's also still conquering the book market with newer releases such as Doctor Sleep, a sequel to The Shining, which is about a grown-up Danny.
All you have to do is look to the films Pet Sematary, Children of the Corn, Christine, Misery, and Sometimes They Come Back to see how he's changed the genre forever. The flicks based after his work are some of the greatest horror films ever and favorites amongst any and all fans of horror, or anyone who can enjoy a good scare. Without King, we'd have none of the films mentioned above. Not to mention that almost any and every great horror book that people to this day are reading is by him as well.
And don't forget films that aren't horror that are from King's work. Such as The Shawshank Redemption, which is one of the greatest films ever, of all-time. And don't forget the classic achievement that is The Green Mile. Whatever King touches goes to gold when it's on point. He does have some flops in both literature and cinema, but you can't deny that when Stephen King swings a bat, he goes for home runs, and a lot of the time he hits it over the fence.
To date, King has over 50 of his stories and books turned into flicks. He's also got around 30 Television shows/movies based on his literature. There's even been five stage plays based after some of his writing, including Carrie, which wasn't well received. His hands are also dipped into the comic realm, and has about 21 comics under his belt. King's son, Joe Hill, who was actually the child in the beginning and end of Creepshow (1982) being punished for reading horror comics, is an author now himself. And Joe is taking the world by storm with his literary achievements.
My favorite book ever is Horns by Hill, which says a lot because it's a newer book, and I'm a book nerd who reads almost 30 books a year. The film adaptation is being released later this year for that very book. On other news, Joe has also released a new horror fiction novel earlier this year called N0S4A2, which is a hit. So again, Stephen King changed the genre forever, because now his son is picking up and taking over. Not saying that Joe will or won't achieve the greatness his dad did, but we're all glad he's around.
So in short, Stephen King changed horror forever, because some the greatest horror films that exist are based after his work, and there's a lot of film. He's also inspired other horror writers by his groundbreaking work, which will be around forever, along with Shakespeare.
To me, as a person, and a horror fan, the work King has done has been both motivation and inspiration. Too many memories of terror to recollect! I've read over 20 of his novels, and have several more lined up to read eventually. He reached the pinnacle of writing! He's both changed the literary, and movie making scenes with his creative writing. He's given me countless stories and movies to be scared of.
I still cringe at the final shot in Pet Sematary, and it wasn't until just a few years ago that I could fully watch that ending and not turn away. As a writer, and a horror buff, achieving the level of excellence King has is a dream come true. He did what so many other writers dream about, and for that we should all be eternally grateful. Thinking of one of my stories becoming an original horror film that scares audiences around the world is an amazing thought, and who knows, maybe one day I'll get there. Even so, I'll still be thanking Stephen King the whole ride, for being a master of horror and a master of everything he touches. Stephen King's work changed my life as it has many others.
I've been a fan since I was a small child, and it never left me. The good writers are the ones that last and that you don't forget. Stephen King will never be forgotten, even by children born today who don't know who he is. Give them a few years on this earth and by the time they die, even if they never read his work, they'll be able to name you several books and films with his name on them.
In short, this article should be titled more properly, 'Where the world would be without Stephen King'. He hasn't simply changed a genre. He changed everything, brought everything to a higher level and playing field. He influenced countless writers, such as myself, and films, and his influence and voice will echo off of the walls of horror forever. A living legend, nothing more, nothing less. He achieved the greatest high of his career and took everyone by storm. He's one of the most important people who has ever lived.
"Sometimes legends make reality, and become more useful than the facts." - Salman Rushdie

Union Card-Check Fight Escalates
The union card-check battle is heating up again.
Attorneys general in four states — Arizona, South Carolina, South Dakota and Utah — joined together Thursday to say they'll fight back if the federal government carries out its threat to file lawsuits over the states' new constitutional amendments that require secret-ballot elections before a company can be unionized.
The National Labor Relations Board says the states can't override federal law that gives workers the option of the so-called card-check method, which lets workers check a box on a card to indicate their interest in forming a union, though employers still have the final say about whether they want to recognize the union once union organizers tally the marks on the cards. Unions like the card-check system because it makes it easier to organize workplaces, but many employers oppose it.
In a joint letter to NLRB acting general counsel Lafe Solomon, the four attorneys general said they "reject" his demand to stipulate the amendments are unconstitutional. They urged him to reconsider and respect the decisions of their states' voters, who passed the amendments by votes that ranged from 60% in Utah to 86% in South Carolina…

Messi guides Barca past City into Champs quarters
Credit: The Associated Press
BARCELONA, Spain — Lionel Messi and Dani Alves scored second-half goals as Barcelona beat 10-man Manchester City 2-1 on Wednesday to reach the Champions League quarterfinals for the seventh straight season.
Barcelona advanced with a 4-1 victory on aggregate over two legs in which referees decisions — and non-decisions — played a big part.
City defender Joleon Lescott replaced Martin Demichelis, who was sent off in the first leg, and had just as much trouble keeping up with Messi throughout the game at the Camp Nou.

MIT girl ragging case: Panel still to complete inquiry
The inquiry launched by MIT Junior College after a complaint of ragging by the parents of a girl student is still not completed after seven days, the time the principal had said it would take to look into the allegation.
According to the college, the delay was the result of the father of the victim telling the inquiry committee that his daughter was still in trauma and would not be able to give her version of what had happened.
The college constituted a seven-member fact-finding committee on Monday last week after the parents of the victim said she had faced ragging from three girl classmates. The parents had given a written complaint to the college.
MIT Junior College Principal Dr Rohini Patwardhan said: "The girl's father has submitted a written application on September 7 asking an additional time period of 15 days before registering his daughter's side in the case."
She said the accused girls had already put their stand before the committee.

Police: Hyannis man attacked store owner with shovel
HYANNIS (AP) - Authorities say a Hyannis man used a shovel to attack a store owner who was clearing a parking area outside of his apartment with a snow blower.
WCVB-TV reports that Barnstable police Sgt. Thomas Toomey says that 55-year-old William Kaouette was charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon after the alleged attack around 3 a.m. Sunday outside of his apartment.
He will be arraigned Tuesday. It was unclear whether he had an attorney.
Toomey says Kaouette saw the store owner blowing snow onto his car and started screaming. Toomey says he then said he wanted to help, but instead attacked the owner with a shovel. The victim declined medical treatment.

Logic prevails that even if you are working in your dream job you won't feel 100% motivated all of the time. Personal and family issues, tiredness, not to mention killer hangovers can lead to a drop off in productivity and whilst this is natural from time to time, falling behind on important tasks is unlikely to make you a favourite with the boss! Staying productive at work doesn't have to mean forcing yourself to work when you really don't want to, but instead finding ways to get your interest back in the tasks at hand and avoiding the natural physical symptoms that can cause you to feel lethargic.
Here are our top 5 simple ways to be more productive at work:
1. Take a walk, pal
Although it may seem counter-intuitive to take a break when you should be working, countless studies have found that a short break from a task will help with your productivity. Sometimes your mind needs some time to think about something else so that you can return to your work with a fresh perspective.
TR recommendation – take a 10 – 15 minute walk twice a day and appreciate your surroundings. No phones, no Facebook; go on a digital cleanse. Trust us the results your focus when you get back will be razor sharp.
2. Get some Headspace – Listen to a guided meditation. There are plenty of 10-15 minute meditations that allow you to trigger your creativity, let go of muscle tension and clear your mind of the work at hand and give you new answers to old problems. All you have to do is plug in your headphones, close your eyes and enjoy peace and relaxation even in the midst of work chaos.
TR recommendation – go download headspace a clever app that we've been using at TalentRocket HQ to cleanse our busy minds! Great for beginners.
3. Make Turbo Charged Outcome Plans
They say a to-do list is the secret weapon of any productive worker. We say they suck. At times when you feel swamped by the tasks you need to do, having a long list of what needs to be done makes things seem insurmountable. Instead do the following: first make a list of the outcomes you want to create. Next comes purpose; write the reasons why you want to achieve these outcomes. Trust us, motive does matter! Then underneath each outcome brain dump all the action items that deliver that outcome. Star the actions that need to be done today to deliver the outcome and schedule these into your diary.
TR recommendation – If you want to take this a step further start by reading Scott Dinsmore's helpful blog post on planning your week here.
3. Focus On One Task At A Time
Tying in with your awesome outcome plan, if you focus on each task one by one you are more likely to be able to put all of your focus onto what needs to be done. Multi-tasking is the nemesis of productivity so it is essential that you look on each job that needs doing as a fresh project.
TR recommendation – Choose to solve the outcome or do the task that will have the biggest weight on your shoulders throughout the day. This is likely to be the one you least want to do; suck it up and tackle it head on before you start your day.
4. Eat, or better still… Drink!
Being hungry is a massive focus puller in any job. Hunger will also lead to tiredness and lethargy and will give you that light-headed feeling which makes it impossible to focus. Make sure you keep some healthy, protein-rich snacks nearby when you are working hard. But make sure your not eating to escape from the stress of day to day life. We all want comforting when we're having a bad day and most people turn to food! According to this brainy study 37% of us mistake hunger for thirst so drink water first.
TR recommendation – Keeping fed and hydrated is essential to being productive, keep a 2 litre bottle of mineral water on your desk at all times and ensure it gets filled up at least once a day, have some raw almonds handy to keep you tied over till tea time.
5. Set Meaningful Goals
With any project it is important that you look at the bigger picture to see what you are working towards. Even if you are taking tasks one by one look at what the end result will be and have larger goals that you can take pride in. We said earlier that motive does matter and if you're working your ass off just to please your boss then you're in the wrong job. Everything you do at work should serve a higher purpose, a purpose other than commercial gain, otherwise ask yourself "what's the point?"
TR recommendation – Feel more productive by working for a company that matters. Join the Talent Rocket Revolution today.

Myths and Legends of Ancient Greece and Rome
Page: 50It is said that the first work of Hephæstus was a most ingenious throne of gold, with secret springs, which he presented to Hera. It was arranged in such a manner that, once seated, she found herself unable to move, and though all the gods endeavoured to extricate her, their efforts were unavailing. Hephæstus thus revenged himself on his mother for the cruelty she had always displayed towards him, on account of his want of comeliness and grace. Dionysus, the wine god, contrived, however, to intoxicate Hephæstus, and then induced him to return to Olympus, where, after having released the [99]queen of heaven from her very undignified position, he became reconciled to his parents.
He now built for himself a glorious palace on Olympus, of shining gold, and made for the other deities those magnificent edifices which they inhabited. He was assisted in his various and exquisitely skilful works of art, by two female statues of pure gold, formed by his own hand, which possessed the power of motion, and always accompanied him wherever he went. With the assistance of the Cyclops, he forged for Zeus his wonderful thunderbolts, thus investing his mighty father with a new power of terrible import. Zeus testified his appreciation of this precious gift, by bestowing upon Hephæstus the beautiful Aphrodite in marriage,[36] but this was a questionable boon; for the lovely Aphrodite, who was the personification of all grace and beauty, felt no affection for her ungainly and unattractive spouse, and amused herself by ridiculing his awkward movements and unsightly person. On one occasion especially, when Hephæstus good-naturedly took upon himself the office of cup-bearer to the gods, his hobbling gait and extreme awkwardness created the greatest mirth amongst the celestials, in which his disloyal partner was the first to join, with unconcealed merriment.
Aphrodite greatly preferred Ares to her husband, and this preference naturally gave rise to much jealousy on the part of Hephæstus, and caused them great unhappiness.
Hephæstus appears to have been an indispensable member of the Olympic Assembly, where he plays the part of smith, armourer, chariot-builder, &c. As already mentioned, he constructed the palaces where the gods resided, fashioned the golden shoes with which they trod the air or water, built for them their wonderful chariots, and shod with brass the horses of celestial breed, which conveyed these glittering equipages over land and sea. He also made the tripods which moved of themselves in and out of the celestial halls, formed for Zeus the [100]far-famed ægis, and erected the magnificent palace of the sun. He also created the brazen-footed bulls of Aetes, which breathed flames from their nostrils, sent forth clouds of smoke, and filled the air with their roaring.
Among his most renowned works of art for the use of mortals were: the armour of Achilles and Æneas, the beautiful necklace of Harmonia, and the crown of Ariadne; but his masterpiece was Pandora, of whom a detailed account has already been given.

What do you do if you're sick of Clinton AND Trump?? You go for option #3 … Johnson … … so says WWE legend Goldust.
Dustin Rhodes was at LAX when we asked if Trump's long relationship with WWE would sway him to vote for the G.O.P. nom.

Celebrating over 100 years of manned Flight!
The mission of the Charles E. Taylor Memorial scholarship is to recognize and encourage students to pursue career skills for the aviation maintenance global marketplace. The scholarship is dedicated to promoting the future of aviation, and more specifically, highly trained A&P Mechanics.
In celebration of over 100 years of manned flight, National Aviation Academy (NAA) is pleased to announce its 2016 Charles E. Taylor Memorial scholarship. In remembrance of Charles E. Taylor, the first aviation mechanic, NAA is providing the opportunity for a $1,000 scholarship for one student in each participating high school. The need for continued education after high school is critical for students graduating today. Not only is higher education anticipated for graduating high school students to better contend in today's economy, but further education is encouraged by our American standards for education and achievement. NAA offers a technical post-secondary education in Aviation Maintenance. NAA is structured mutually with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to prepare students for their FAA Airframe & Powerplant certification exams.
Our program is accredited by the Commission of the Council on Occupational Education and the FAA. NAA is an authorized participant of US Title IV, which allows student qualification for federal financial aid. NAA is pleased to award one 2016 graduating student from each high school a scholarship in the amount of $1,000 awarded toward enrollment at National Aviation Academy. The application deadline is June 15, 2016. NAA welcomes the opportunity to present each recipient with a certificate of achievement at an award ceremony or relevant function put on by the award winner's high school.
1. This award is valid for 2016 high school graduates.
2. The scholarship shall be applied to NAA tuition only. It does not cover any other fees.
3. The scholarship cannot be turned in for cash in lieu of tuition scholarship.
4. The scholarship is non-transferable.
5. Scholarship winners must satisfy all NAA admissions requirements.

District Provided In-Service Programs
The NWESD Professional Development Coordinating Council (PDCC) provides prior approval to proposed in-service programs designed to meet standards set forth in WAC 181-85-200 and by the NWESD.
The NWESD has a new streamlined online in-service proposal system! This new system is separate from the online registration system and does not require specific permissions to submit a clock hour proposal as did the previous system.
It is important to note that local school districts retain the right to accept or reject in-service proposals. Individual participants should check with their local school districts as to whether clock hours earned at an in-service will be accepted. In-service offerings for clock hours must be at least three hours duration.
In-service Proposal Process
You must complete an Online In-service Program Proposal at least 15 calendar days prior to the starting date of the in-service. This proposal must be pre-approved by an administrator in your district before being submitted. The proposal will be reviewed by our PDCC to assure that standards are met.
You will be notified of their decision as soon as it is made. Upon approval of your in-service, a confirmation email will be sent to you. Your clock hour packet will be emailed prior to the in-service. This packet includes:
- Instructions - will be emailed to you prior to the in-service
- Class Attendance Sheet(s) - pre-filled with class identification information
- Request for Clock Hours Forms - pre-filled with class identification information, number of available clock hours, and fees
Approval Criteria
Approval cannot be granted for routine staff meetings such as district, building, or area meetings to discuss or explain operation policies or administrative practices.
An approved program offering:
- Must be related to a predetermined needs analysis;
- Include measurable objectives that express a clear purpose;
- Is consistent with the time and credit allocated;
- Must be appropriate for the continuing professional development of participants; and
- The methodology of the program delivery should reflect the elements of effective classroom applications.
Repeat Proposal
An online in-service repeat proposal may be used for any in-service that has been previously submitted and approved in the current academic calendar year (9/1 through 8/31). If this is your first time submitting in the current year you will need to submit the proposal as a new proposal. Once the proposal has been approved in this system, future events during the same academic year that meet "repeat criteria" can be submitted as a repeat by choosing the original approved in-service ID number from the drop-down list inside the proposal form.
A repeat proposal consists of the same number of hours, course description/topics, and criteria as previously submitted. You cannot submit repeat proposals on original classes that were canceled before taking place.

Formerly of Los Altos, I purchased several beautiful pieces from Tim, and later Marilyn. My prized possession was Tim's "International Ring", named for the the International Jewelers' Award he won with this elegant and unusual ring. Last November I lost my ring. I can't stand to be without it. Today I searched the web and was disappointed to learn of the closing of the store. I will try to reach Marilyn, but in the meantime, does anyone know where the molds are located now?

I used to manage the Radio Shack around the corner from Gold Fever in Palo Alto. I fell in love with a beautiful sapphire and gold ring. I had to put it on law away, but went to visit it frequently, until it was paid off. I still wear it all the time. I also bought a cut out gold pendant, made by a friend of Tim's. I wanted a cutout of the logo of the Arabian Horse World Magazine, Arabians being my passion at the time. It is the size of a nickle and I wear it always. Lately my mother died and I inherited her and my father's wedding rings. I had them mounted in a horse shoe shaped frame, with the horse in its horse shoe frame hanging free inside it. It means I always have them close to me. The new pendant was designed by Gembrokers, in Santa Cruz, and they are truly wonderful people. I hope Ms Fidge appreciates how many of Tim's customers remember him and wear his work in his memory.

I purchased my wedding ring from Tim (in 1985). It was a unique design (sort of an angled wave pattern across the top and the ring tapered around the finger. I've worn it all these years, but lost it this past year while working outside. Just sick. I wanted to contact Tim and see if I could get another made. So Sorry to hear that TIm has passed away in 89 and that the store had closed in 2007 <sad>. Yes, I too, would like to see if the molds still exist and who has them. I'd buy another in a minute!

WAY back, while Tim was still living in Washington state(?), he advertised in Sunset Magazine's Shopping Center, which was my responsibility. Don't know what he advetised, but in a phone conversation w/him, he said that Fidge was a truly unique name. Anyhow, when he moved south to Palo Alto I had him make a pair of earrngs for me which I treasure. This goes back more years than I care remember

Well, it is 43 years later, and I am retiring one of Tim's rings. My wife and I met in Corvallis, Oregon in 1973 where Tim had set up Seraph's Silverworks at 2007 NW Monroe Street. Sandy and I were penniless students in love and we wanted something special but affordable. We stepped into Tim's store and explained what we wanted. He smiled and sketched out his and her wedding rings each in yellow gold with an intertwining look. He fashioned mine and my wife's, her's with a whopping 1/4 carat diamond. LOL! Well, she never wanted that diamond replaced with anything larger and wore it proudly for almost 43 years. Sandy passed away last week. St. Patrick's Day would have been our 43rd wedding anniversary. Tim and Sandy can now share Corvallis stories. Thanks, Tim.

My mom had some extra diamonds that needed a setting and went to Timothy Fidge & Co to have 4 custom rings made. Mine had the 2 smallest diamond and we chose a light blue sapphire for the 3rd stone. Kind of a wave/twist trilogy style. I recently lost the ring and was devastated. I would give almost anything to find the mold and get a duplicate made. If anyone knows anything please comment or contact firstname.lastname@example.com

By Gail M. Pfeifer, MA, RN, AJN news director
It seems even when doctors and nurses unite on an issue, there's controversy. The Mississippi State Board of Medical Licensure and the Mississippi Board of Nursing (MBON) both support state bill No. 695, which would allow only certified nurse-midwives to practice midwifery in the state, according to the December 2009 issue of the state board's magazine. Melinda Rush, executive director of MBON, wrote that there have been "incidences of death and harm to infants born in situations that were less than safe," and urged nurses to support the bill.
I wonder though, if the board did its homework on educating the public about their concerns. One objector to the bill wrote a letter to Governor Barbour, asking him to veto the bill if it lands on his desk, because "midwives are more qualified than Drs
Whether the bill finally passes or fails in the Mississippi Senate on Tuesday, it looks like both terminology and the value of nurse midwives needs clarification—and this is probably true in more places than Mississippi. My colleague Shawn Kennedy, AJN's editorial director and interim editor-in-chief, brought up another point to consider when we discussed this issue: "I wonder why nurses are looking to limit the practice of lay midwives, unless there's evidence about unsafe practice. Isn't that what we rail against physicians for doing to us?"
AJN then asked Margaret Comerford Freda, professor of clinical obstetrics and gynecology and women's health at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Medical Center, her opinion on the subject. In her e-mail response, Freda wrote: "I feel it would be going in the wrong direction to suggest that nurse midwives, most of whom have master's degrees, could be replaced by individuals without the comprehensive knowledge base that nursing provides."
Freda is also editor of MCN: The American Journal of Maternal Child Nursing. She added that midwifery education is "a very hot topic." It sure looks that way. So, what do you think about the hoopla in Mississippi and the broader issue of midwifery regulation?

looks like Karin Sarah didn't quite get the gist of Haxo's tweet, which wasn't all that Israel – or Jew – friendly. However, all's well that ends well. How about an exchange: warmongering, neo-con kosher chickenhawk Max Boot self-deports to Zionist-occupied Palestine, while the lovely sephardic Jewess Ben-Avi reverse-aliyah's to Zionist-controlled America. Where she'll be safe.

Still not sure, where did they find enough Arcturan Mega-gin!
Anyway, there is a number of alternative recipes: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Bartendin ... le_Blaster - unfortunately, art cafe Books & Coffee in my home city (mentioned at the end of the page as Coffee&Books) doesn't offer alcohol (any more?)...

8 things we love about the new Museum of Discovery and Science
Ben Crandell for the Sun Sentinel outlines his eight favorite things about the new EcoDiscovery Center designed by C7A for the Museum of Discovery & Science in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
This 34,000-square-foot addition, which nearly doubles the size of the existing science museum, was designed by architects Cambridge Seven Associates. C7A also completed the master plan and exhibit design for the new Otters at Play and the Everglades Airboat Adventure.
Crandell's favorite things about the new Museum of Discovery & Science EcoDiscovery Center addition include: the new river otter exhibit, the Everglades Airboat Adventure, a 20-person airboat simulator complete with motion, sound effects, and water spray that gives visitors the experience of riding through the Florida Everglades, and the glowing glass box that serves as a beacon for the museum:
"This second-story glass box faces Broward Boulevard and, intersected with strips of colored LED light, at night will bring a beckoning presence to a nondescript stretch of one of Fort Lauderdale's main drags. It's a simple but thoughtful design flourish that will quickly become a defining downtown landmark."

Metals In Building Design
Eνеr ѕіnсе man hаѕ ѕtаrtеd building grand structures, thе quest fοr nеw materials fοr decorative purposes hаѕ never waned. Thеrе wаѕ a time whеn building relied solely οn thе structural materials used tο impart ѕοmе form οf aesthetic appeal, іf thеrе еνеr wаѕ аnу intention οf іt tο ѕhοw аnу beauty аt аll.
Thе υѕе οf аnу metal аѕ a decorative material οn аnу building wаѕ nοt tοο рοрυlаr. In those early days, collecting thе ore, melting іt, purifying іt аnd molding іt іntο ѕοmе form took a lot οf effort thаt іt probably wουld hаνе bееn better tο υѕе thе metal fοr οthеr uses thаn аѕ аn adornment οn ѕοmе building.
Hοwеνеr, communities аnd populations grow. Demand fοr products grows аѕ well, аnd аѕ a result, people try nеw things ѕο thеу саn produce more. Thе same mυѕt hаνе gone fοr metal products such thаt nеw techniques meant more metal produced. Aѕ production wаѕ аblе tο keep up wіth demand, аnу excess metal production mυѕt hаνе bееn turned іntο something еlѕе, hence fanciful works thаt саn bе used аѕ adornment.
And аftеr smelting аll those ores, thеу mυѕt hаνе found different kinds οf metals, each wіth different properties. Those hard metals mυѕt hаνе found thеіr way іntο utensils аnd οthеr items οf υѕе, whіlе softer ones probably wеrе first discarded ѕіnсе thеу couldnt bе formed іntο something useful anyway. Maybe ѕοmе took another look аt thеѕе soft metals, combined thеm wіth one another οr wіth a harder metal, аnd nеw materials wеrе discovered.
Iron wаѕ probably thе first metal whісh οld civilizations found very useful. Being hard, iron сουld bе formed іntο a number οf things lіkе utensils аnd tools thаt hеlреd people wіth thеіr daily lives.
Bυt thе non-iron metals, thе non ferrous metal thаt wаѕ formerly discarded, probably gοt a second look аnd wаѕ found tο hаνе ѕοmе characteristics thаt wеrе better thаn iron fοr сеrtаіn uses.
A non ferrous metal such аѕ copper mіght bе soft, bυt іt never formed rust. Combined wіth another metal, іt formed bronze, whісh wаѕ hammered аnd formed іntο utensils ѕο much more easily thаn iron саn bе formed.
Sο thіѕ іѕ probably hοw a non ferrous metal found іtѕ way іntο thе decorative aspects οf buildings.

Below are answers to a lot of commonly asked questions. Got a question that isn't answered here? Get in touch at email@example.com
What should a get together look like?
Your get together can look however you want. If you are looking for inspiration, you could get creative with gingham decorations inspired by The Great Get Together branding.
In Jo's constituency of Batley and Spen, we'll be decorating a street party in the centre of the town with a gingham tablecloth, so we'd love you to also get creative with gingham decorations.
The Big Lunch also has tips and ideas for making your own decorations.
How should I decorate my get together?
In Jo's constituency of Batley and Spen, we'll be decorating a street party in the centre of the town with a gingham tablecloth, so we'd love you to also get creative with gingham decorations.
I can't host an event myself - will I be able to see a list of events that I could join?
For the final weeks, we're planning to show a map of all public events. Each host will be able to choose whether their event is private or public. Stay tuned for more!
What happens once I sign up for a Great Get Together kit?
We will be sending occasional tips, ideas and reminders by email to those who sign up. We will not be asking for donations.
Can we fundraise at our get together?
Please do! We'd recommend still signing up for ideas for what to do.
Is The Great Get Together party political or about Brexit?
Not at all! The idea for The Great Get Together is about bringing communities together to celebrate what we have in common. It has cross party backing and is supported by some of the most prominent Remain and Brexit campaigners, but it is completely outside of party politics and the Brexit debate.
The official date for The Great Get Together doesn't suit, can I still take part?
Of course! The most important thing is bringing people together, so if the date doesn't suit you go ahead and choose another date.
How can I find a get together near me?
Some get togethers will be invite only – but others will be bigger and open to the public. We'll have a list of ones near you closer to the time. Sign up here and we'll keep you posted.
I live outside the UK, can I have a get together?
Yes – of course. You can get all the information online by signing up.
We're an organisation, can we take part in or support The Great Get Together?
Yes, you can. Find out how here.
How can my school get involved?
Lots of schools are already involved – everything from special assemblies to themed lunches. You can find out more here.
Is there any funding available?
Not from us – sorry. You don't need to spend loads of money to have a great day. If you do need a little bit of money – for decorations or equipment hire, you could ask people to contribute through a traditional 'whip-round' or run a small crowdfunding campaign.
For funding larger projects or ongoing community groups, see our partner The Big Lunch's advice on finance and funding.
Do I need insurance?
It depends on the type of event you're organising; where you're holding it and who's invited. For small events in private spaces you won't. If you're closing your road, you'll need insurance, and if it's a bigger event where, for example, you're selling food or putting up a stage for music or a bouncy castle, then further precautions will be necessary. Always speak to your local authority and explain your plans. See The Big Lunch's advice on insurance if you'd like more information.
Are barbeques too risky from a health and safety point of view?
Common sense applies. Set up your BBQ somewhere safe and have one chef in charge, not a free for all. It's also a good idea to have a first aider there on the day.
I'm worried about food hygiene, do we need a license?
Organising small, private street parties and community events should be simple and things like risk assessments, licenses and health and safety certificates are not normally required. In guidance from the Department for Communities and Local Government, the Food Standards Agency has confirmed that one-off events such as street parties aren't usually considered food businesses, so there are no forms to fill in and you don't need a food licence.
Everyone involved should take responsibility for themselves and those preparing food should make sure they do so in a clean and hygienic environment. If you are planning a larger event that anyone can attend or if you are selling tickets to your event, then there may be other processes and requirements that you need to consider. Your local council will be able to advise you on this
Do I need to close my street?
Not at all! If you can't close your road, you can hold your Big Lunch on any patch of land or any building such as a communal, private or pub garden, a local park, driveway, school playground, church, mosque, synagogue, gurdwara or temple — wherever you want, as long as you have the relevant permissions.
If you do want to close your road for a street party you will need to get in touch with the Highways Department at your local council to find out how to go about it. It's best to do this as early as possible as some councils require up to 12 weeks' notice.
Your council may ask you to pay fees for closing the street, however new guidance from Department for Communities and Local Government states that you are not required by law to pay a charge for closing your road (for small residential street parties in England) but some councils may need to cover the costs for admin and planning. You should ask your council what the charges are for.
How can those observing Ramadan take part in The Great Get Together?
Our friends at The Big Iftar are hosting a number of get togethers and are encouraging others to do so too. Jo's sister Kim will be spending the end of her day at a mosque in Batley where they will be breaking the fast in honour of The Great Get Together. Check out the Big Lunch's website for ideas on how to host a lunar lunch.
Across the country get togethers are being arranged that won't feature food too! For example we have heard about a variety of different events such as sports games, literary and music festivals.'
We hope people will come together in whatever way suits them and their community, whether by breaking fast and sharing a meal together or through games, music, sport or other activities. We encourage people to get creative and hold an event that suits their own community: there's no right or wrong way to do it!
Should I tell you about my event?
Yes, please! Connect with us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, and once you have made a few plans you can share your story, photos and videos with us using the hashtags #greatgettogether #letsgettogether #moreincommon

PHILADELPHIA - The young, high-flying Atlanta Hawks are maturing rapidly.
Josh Smith scored 22 points, Marvin Williams and Josh Childress both added 16 and the Hawks snapped a seven-game losing streak at Philadelphia with an 88-79 victory over the 76ers on Monday night.
Joe Johnson scored 15 points and Al Horford had 12 points and 13 rebounds for the Hawks (7-9), who last won at Philadelphia on March 21, 2003.
Atlanta improved to 3-5 on the road this season and 28-104 overall under coach Mike Woodson.
"When you're talking about making the playoffs, it's very important to win on the road," Woodson said.
The Hawks haven't been in the playoffs since the 1998-99 season.
For now, it was a positive step just to win a road game in an arena where they have struggled for several years.
"Since I've been an Atlanta Hawk, we haven't won here in three years," Smith said. "It feels real good because it's a tough place to play with a difficult environment."
Willie Green scored a season-high 23 points while Andre Miller added 18 for the Sixers (5-12), who lost for the 10th time in the last 13 games. Andre Iguodala and Kyle Korver scored 11 points each while Reggie Evans and Samuel Dalembert both had 10 rebounds.
"I thought it was kind of a flat game in the beginning," Sixers coach Maurice Cheeks said.
Philadelphia was 2-of-11 from 3-point range. Over the last three games, the Sixers have hit just 5-of-37 3-pointers, including an 0-for-14 effort in last Friday's one-point win over Washington.
"We've got to find a way to put the ball in the hoop," Korver said. "We're just not able to get good shots."
The Hawks led 66-62 after the third quarter and extended their lead to nine on several occasions.
Atlanta led 79-72 before Childress hit a 3-pointer and Johnson converted a three-point play for an 85-72 lead with 1:41 remaining.
Woodson pointed to his team's defense during the key 6-0 run.
Raptors 98, Bobcats 79: At Toronto, Kris Humphries and Carlos Delfino both scored 17 points, Joey Graham added 13 and Toronto shrugged off injuries to three top players to beat Charlotte.
Jose Calderon had 12 points and six players scored in double figures as the Raptors posted their fourth straight home win.
Gerald Wallace scored 19 points and rookie Jared Dudley had 16 points and 10 rebounds for Charlotte, which has lost six straight after a 6-4 start, the best in the team's four-year history.
Toronto played without forwards Chris Bosh (strained groin) and Andrea Bargnani (hyper-extended left knee) and guard T.J. Ford (left thumb).
It didn't seem to bother the Raptors, who led 16-4 at 5:57 of the first quarter after Graham, making his first start of the season, threw down a one-handed dunk.

A groundbreaking study explores the meaning and purpose of worship, revealing how every Christian and church can experience God's presence and attain the liberty that comes from welcoming God's glory. Reprint. 20,000 first printing.
Publishers Description
Why do so many people feel unfulfilled? Because every one of God's children continues to live in shame from the fall, when intimate companionship with the Father was broken and the glory of his presence was lost. Yet, as Jack Hayford explains, believers can regain their intended position as kingdom people. How does this happen? Through worship.
In his most comprehensive and significant work to date, Hayford explores the various elements of worship and shows how to attain the liberty that comes from welcoming God's glory. Christians worldwide are heeding the call to worship. With this timely and substantive direction, each believer will learn to usher in the glory of God's manifest presence.

Effects panning in Mix
Posted by Geoff Lawson on August 31, 1999 at 13:41:35:
I've just begun to get a hang of the effects on the QS6, but am frustated by the apparent lack of pan for the effects routed to each channel. The pan works fine when the patches are dry, but once any effect is added to a channel my panning goes out of the window, with the effect coming from both sides even when the pan is on full right/left. Am I just stupid, or is this not possible? Any comments (either way) much appreciated,

Orange has taken its trials for TV over broadband to the whole country, and the technology is understood to be ready for launch.The service was initially set for launch last summer after being trialled in Leeds; however, the launch was put back to 'late 2007' and is still being trialled.Orange has been unwilling to give a new target launch date, but the operator claims it is still keen to pursue the service that has been such a hit for Orange in France. The service links broadband and TV, offering customers on-demand films and other content. However, analysts have said that Orange will find it much tougher to launch in the UK because of Sky's stranglehold on TV content in the UK, and Virgin's grip on cable infrastructure which has made it a strong 'number two' in the UK subscription TV market.BT Vision, which offers a similar service to the one Orange is proposing, has struggled to reach a mass market despite deals with sports channel Setanta.

The song is "Invisible" by Taylor Swift.
(Every time I think of you, it's a silent plea for your love.)
She can't see the way your eyes
Will light up when you smile
She never noticed how you stop and stare
Whenever she walks by
There were several things Yellow loved above everything else in the world.
Firstly, she loved her Pokemon. She showered her Pokemon with affection, and she considered them her closest friends and partners. She loved them very much, and it always pained her to watch them get hurt. That was also a reason why she strayed away from battles, as she hated watching Pokemon get hurt.
Secondly, she loved her friends. The female dex holders were always hanging out, from simple shopping trips to expensive dinners (courtesy of Platinum), and Yellow cherished them with all her heart.
And the last thing Yellow had to say she loved more than anything and anyone was...
Another Dex holder.
The gentle, yet strong raven haired male Dex Holder... Red. He sent butterflies dispersing in her stomach when he smiled at her, which made her feel flustered and embarrassed in his presence.
However, Yellow was too shy to tell him how she felt.
In fact, no one really knew about Yellow's infatuation anyway. Poor little Yellow was too scared to admit that she loved (or rather, loves) Red. Poor little Yellow was a dreamer and a pretender. She loved daydreaming and enjoyed pretending that she and Red were together, on a date, or just simply walking together.
Poor little Yellow couldn't summon up the courage to tell the one person she loved how she felt.
And you can't see me wanting you
The way you want her
But you are everything to me
Yellow always felt that the beach was the best place to release one's bottled feelings.
She walks along the sandy shore at dawn, and her hazel eyes drinks in the pretty view spread out before her.
The soft petals of the rose she had picked earlier that morning brushes against her shivering fingers as she hoists herself up on the cliff and settles back to wait for sunrise.
The wind combs through her blonde hair, and the waves that crash against the cliff sent small droplets of seawater cascading down her thin arms. But Yellow was oblivious to the wind whipping her hair across her face and the cold tingling feeling on her bare arms. Instead, she fixes her gaze across the turquoise waters as her fingers stroke the velvet petals of the rose in her hand.
A sudden diamond bird of light bursts upward and Yellow instinctively raises a hand to shield her eyes from the glaring sight. A faint smile dances across her lips as she tilts her head up and watches the sun climb higher and higher into the bright blue sky.
She glances down at the rose in her hand for a brief moment, and the smile slips.
And I just want to show you
She don't even know you
She's never gonna love you
Like I want to
When she gets tired of the sun, Yellow averts her attention to the rose in her pale hands once again. She twirls the rose hesitantly, and smiles as the feather-light petals graze against her palm. The scarlet petals feel so alive under her lifeless fingers and she twirls the rose at a faster rate, watching the petals dip and swirl at every turn.
Her smile freezes, and her fingers close around the green stem tightly, ignoring the fact that the rose still had its thorns.
She grips the stem even more tightly, and watches the small trickles of scarlet trail down from her palms and ting the water below her red.
And you just see right through me
But if you only knew me
We could be a beautiful miracle, unbelievable
Instead of just invisible
She sings the words like a lullaby.
Slowly, Yellow tears the petals from the flower, and throws them down into the sea, softly singing a child's nursery rhyme from so long ago.
At each petal that leaves her fingers, her eyes contained hope, and she dreaded the moment when she would finally reach the final petal.
That moment eventually came, and Yellow plucked the last petal off the stem reluctantly. After toying with it between her fingers for a few minutes, she silently let it begin its slow descent into the cerulean waves, whispering the final words to the childish lullaby.
He loves me not.
Below her, the cyan waves swallows the scarlet petals, and her silent tears slide down her cheeks like rain.
There's a fire inside of you
That can't help but shine through
But she's never gonna see the light
No matter what you do
No one said heartbreak was easy.
She walks down the street of her hometown, keeping her head low as she trudges up the dirt beaten path.
Yellow stiffens at the voice. Her throat feels dry and there's a burning feeling ripping through the bridge of her nose.
Her heart aches when she finally looks up and stares straight into his scarlet eyes.
"It's great to see you! It's been a while, hasn't it? I was on my way to Cerulean City to see—"
Yellow's mind successfully blocks out his words, but she listens to the sound of his voice reluctantly.
His eyes sparkle slightly at something —or rather, someone— over her head, and his smile widens.
"Oh, she's here already! All right, I'll talk to you later, Yellow!"
He brushes past her gently, and she doesn't have to turn around to see whom he is running towards to.
Instead, she quickens her pace, and her tears fall to the floor.
And all I think about is how
To make you think of me
And everything that we could be
Yellow heads back to the beach.
The late afternoon sun casts its orange beams on her as she sits under a cluster of palm trees. She draws her knees up to her chest, and rests her chin on them, silently watching the gentle waves that crash onto the golden sand.
Blue joins her after an hour or so, and Yellow welcomes her company gratefully.
The older girl stares at Yellow for a long moment, and the latter flinches under the brunette's piercing gaze.
And I just want to show you
She don't even know you
She's never gonna love you
Like I want to
Blue starts a light conversation, delicately avoiding touchy subjects, and Yellow answers her questions with one-word answers and white lies.
Blue clearly doesn't believe her, but she doesn't push the matter further. Instead, she continues to keep her tone light, her piercing gaze never lifting from the blonde.
Yellow makes the mistake of lowering her guard around Blue.
And you just see right through me
When the conversation runs dry and the thirst for gossip is quenched, Yellow looks out into the horizon once again and watches the sun make its slow descend.
Cold fingers wrap around her left wrist, and Yellow stiffens in shock, before turning to push the brunette's inquisitive fingers away.
But if you only knew me
We could be a beautiful miracle, unbelievable
There's a quick scuffle between both girls, but Blue wins.
She turns over Yellow wrists gently, and removes the bandages covering them.
Blue stares at the scars embedded into Yellow's pale wrists, and looks up to meet a pair of reluctant hazel irises.
"Yellow... Why?"
Yellow breaks down and falls into the brunette's embrace, as the latter whispers soft words of comfort to the distraught blonde.
Instead of just invisible
After Yellow returns home from the beach, she discards the bandages in the living room before heading towards her piano.
Sitting before the piano, her fingers close around her left wrist, feeling the fresh wounds from yesterday and the faint scars from days before. Silently, she digs her sharp fingernails into the fine cuts, ignoring the stinging pain through her wrists and the tears that gather at the corner of her eyes.
She repeats the same actions until the white piano keys are stained red.
Like shadows in the faded light
We're invisible
Yellow loved music, and she enjoyed playing soft, warm tunes on her piano. In her free time, she would even compose melodies on her own, delighting her friends and family with her sweet symphonies.
Her neighbours enjoyed listening to her music, and rarely complained about the noise. Some even dropped by to compliment her talent, often staying to allow the sweet music to hang over their minds like a dream.
However, instead of warm, sweet sounds of music, one could only hear the sorrowful tunes played by a heartbroken girl accompanied by sobs of despair over the crashing waves of the ocean that night.
I just wanna look in your eyes
And make you realize
Yellow wakes up at dawn the next morning, and runs to the beach.
She picks a rose from her garden as she goes, and as the sharp thorns dig into her palms, she silently lets the fresh drops of scarlet rain on her pretty skirt.
The beach is quiet and deserted as the blonde climbs up to her favourite spot on the cliff.
She stands close to the edge of the cliff — so close, that she just manages to control her balance. Her toes grip on the barnacle-crusted edge tightly, and her eyes scan the horizon.
With just one step, she could end her life and misery. On the other hand, she could also take one step back, and return to the harsh reality.
It was a simple decision, really.
The eighteen-year old blonde soon found herself falling into the deep waters of the ocean.
And I just want to show you
She don't even know you
The waters close over her head, and Yellow can feel her skirt billow out from under her, the sodden material pulling her down.
She glances up, and she can see the warm, reddish rays of the sun stretching above her. She smiles at the pretty sight, her fingers reaching out to grasp the last rays of sunlight as she sinks deeper into the cerulean waters.
The rose falls out of her weak grasp, and floats upwards as her body falls in the opposite direction.
The twirling red flower sparks off a familiar memory, and her dying heart skips a beat.
Baby, let me love you,
Let me want you
She closes her eyes, willing the memory to go away, but no matter how hard she tried, the heartbreaking image refused to fade.
Her eyes fly open as she involuntarily gasps for air, and coughs repeatedly as her lungs fill with water.
Yellow closes her eyes again to ease the pain, as she fights a losing battle with her lungs.
Her lungs scream painfully, and her head throbs from the lack of air.
But even as the colours faded to a blur around her, she could still see his scarlet eyes fresh in her memory.
You just see right through me
But if you only knew me
They were the same scarlet eyes she fell in love with, and they were the same pair of eyes that sent her plunging into the deep abyss of heartbreak.
They were the same scarlet eyes that haunted her in her memories and dreams.
And much to her bitter resentment, they were still the same pair of eyes belonging to a man she still loved.
We could be a beautiful miracle, unbelievable
A broken smile flickers across her pale face, and Yellow's vision fades to black.
Instead of just invisible
A day after Yellow's disappearance, the coastguards and the Dex holders spend hours searching for the missing blonde.
However after endless hours of fruitless searching, not a trace of the girl could be found, except for the twirling, dark crimson rose dancing in the ocean's waves.
Hello there~~ Christmas is round the corner... and I have yet another tragedy fanfic up... I'm sorry D: I don't know why but I prefer tragedies :(
This story broke my heart :( I love specialshipping A LOT. And it made me really unhappy when I wrote both "Crimson" and "Mirthless". I wanted to keep the anonymous girl here well, anonymous, but I guess its easy to figure out who THAT is.
Its kinda ironic, I just wrote "Mirthless", with Red being the unlucky, unloved one, and this story "Crimson" has Yellow being the unloved character... Interesting, huh?
I'm sorry Yellow, I love you, really, I do. Specialshipping FTW!
I hope to have a Christmas fic up (not really planning to write tragedies for Christmas... hopefully it turns out fine...), but I don't think I can write within five days... And its not really about Christmas... :/ So we'll have to see about that.
Thanks for reading, and Happy Holidays!
(Well... I guess all of you aren't really that HAPPY after I just shattered a lot of Specialshipping hearts [including my own]... but oh well...)

Project Management
Our clients prefer to focus on their core business. That's why our end-to-end solution works so well. From tools selection to technology mix to execution, we make it easy for each client because they don't have to worry about what should happen next, or manage the project themselves. Transparency every step of the way allows each of our clients to see exactly what's going on and where it's going. No more guesswork; Just transparency and predictability.
In an industry that presents technology in fits and starts, it's hard to work out what is the best technology mix for an optimal solution. With over three decades in this environment, we have walked the length and breadth of what works and what does not. We bring this deep and broad experience to each and every project, so our client is spared any experimentation that can occur with vendors who do not fully understand the challenges. Our decades of experience of leadership in the communications management field is our client's advantage.
Those companies that prospered in the last three decades were the ones that exploited the unprecedented technology advances that came with the times. Companies that stuck with the old ways were swept aside by those who embraced and harnessed the advantages that came with those advances. When it comes to energy management and the communications systems which control them, we will be the able partner at your side, helping you keep up with — and get ahead of — every opportunity for innovation that your company needs.
What happens when you have a question, or when a challenge or opportunity presents itself? Our clients have come to rely on us because we care. We understand that field support is a linchpin of success for companies that depend on their communications infrastructure to manage energy. Nothing can be left up to chance. We are shoulder-to-shoulder with our clients before, during and long after the implementation goes live.
