Stonehouse Signs has been providing signage for Colorado since the Stonehouse family moved from Chicago during the gold mining boom.
The Stonehouse website has become a staple of their core business. The site allows customers to order signage directly on the site. For larger, enterprise orders, the site is a reference point for their portfolio and samples.
The folks at Stonehouse Signs found Monarch Digital to provide ongoing support back in 2013. Fast forward to 2015 and Google announces that it will be penalizing websites that are not mobile friendly. Like so many companies that rely on their websites to attract and keep customers, Stonehouse Signs did not want to lose their Google placement in search results.
At the same, several other projects on the site became priorities:
- Improve search, allowing customers to find products using more keywords and SKU's than before
- List products in Google Merchant, further improving product visibility
Retroactive Responsive Design
Starting April 2, 2015, Google announced that it would use mobile-friendliness as a ranking signal. Stonehouse Signs had not received requests from its customers for a site that will display more attractively on tablets and phones, but the company did not lose its hard won search rankings in Google search.
Monarch Digital's marching orders were to retain all design elements of the current desktop site. Using design direction from the client's marketing department, we added responsive design elements for tablet and mobile phone sized screens. Unlike starting to develop a responsive theme from scratch, we encountered a number of challenges:
- Since we didn't develop the site or the theme, we found many, let's say, unique ways that the previous developers coded the structure. Almost every tag contained hardcoded inline styles.
- Previous content managers had created many unique, non-responsive tables in the body area across the entire site. It would be far too expensive to have a developer manually change all these tables to responsive classes. Monarch Digital developed a number of classes to be used instead of these tables and taught the current content manager how to convert tables to these classes. At the same time, the current content manager is evaluating the table layouts and working to get a similar look and feel throughout the site.
SOLR Search
If a prospect can find what they need more easily, the more likely they will purchase. Monarch Digital moved the Stonehouse Signs site from a modified version of internal Drupal search to SOLR. Visitors can now:
- Search by full or partial SKU or part number
- Search by keywords or phrases
- Search by product types or categories
- Drill down and up based upon compliance types, product categories, etc.
Google Merchant Center
To further drive traffic to the various Stonehouse Signs products, Monarch Digital was tasked with automating the creation and publishing of a data feed to be imported to Google's Merchant Center. This Google service helps businesses ensure their products and services are accurately indexed for search.
- Complete listing of all products with relevant metadata exported to a Google Merchant Center defined format.
- The export process is automated so that Google can automatically find and import the feed file on a scheduled basis.

I can't quite believe I go to Spain tomorrow, it feels like it's been such a long time since we have had it booked! I'm feeling so excited right now to be able to get out of England for 10 days, to relax by the pool and stuff my face with so much nice food! So I thought I would put together a few essentials in which I will be taking with me on my holiday this summer!
As you will need to keep your eyes protected from those UV Rays, sunglasses are definitely essential! This year I bought my sunglasses from Topshop and I found they had some many gorgeous pairs, that I found it hard to choose which ones to purchase! In the end I chose this gorgeous pair with blue lenses and a matte black frame,I cant wait to wear them as I'm lounging by the pool!
I will practically be living in sandals on my holiday this year so I had to choose ones I knew would be comfortable and wouldn't hurt my feet throughout the day. I went on a hunt for the perfect sandals and purchased these beauties from H&M alongside many others in which I purchased from River Island and Primark!
I have found the best places to buy bikinis this year has definitely been H&M and I have bought so many gorgeous ones from there! Whether its a trip to the beach, a dip in the pool or topping up your tan while relaxing on a sun lounger, bikinis are essential for any holiday.

- Colorado, United States
Colorado is a U.S. state that encompasses much of the Rocky Mountains as well as the northeastern portion of the Colorado Plateau and the western edge of the Great Plains. Colorado is part of the Western United States and the Mountain States. Colorado is noted for its vivid landscape of mountains, forests, high plains, mesas, canyons, plateaus, rivers, and desert lands.
The 2010 United States Census tallied the state population at 5,029,196 as of April 1, 2010, an increase of 16.92% since the 2000 United States Census. Denver is the capital and the most populous city of Colorado. Residents of the state are properly known as "Coloradans", although the archaic term "Coloradoan" is still used.

Despite its accessibility in this day and age, starting a business venture remains an arduous and challenging task to achieve. After all, it can often require not only an incredible amount of time in coming up with a unique product or service that will attract the target customer base but also money in sustaining the operations of the company as well. It is undoubtedly for this reason that statistics have shown many businesses failing only within five years of their establishment.
With plenty of factors that can affect a business, no matter the industry, in a detrimental manner, how exactly does a company survive, much less find success? To this end, here are just a few crucial things that no business today should be without.
- Technology
In this day and age, you'll be hard-pressed to find any company that doesn't make use of current-generation technology. This comes with a good reason: not only does modern technology streamline the tasks and processes that business operations usually entail, but it can also provide a means to cut costs in specific areas that you would not have thought was possible otherwise.
As such, it makes sense to allocate both time and resources to stay updated with technology. In this way, you will be able to make the company function much more efficiently and effectively while boosting your reputation to both your current and potential customers as well.
- Consultancy services
From the economic landscape and legal matters to risk management & assessment, consultancy services are more than just the unnecessary expense that many inexperienced entrepreneurs often treat it as. In fact, it is essential not only for finding the desired business success but also in mitigating the risks of potential problems that the company might encounter along the way.
- Good insurance coverage
As obvious as this is, you'll be surprised at how many business owners opt for cheaper insurance instead of acquiring policies with better coverage. While this might appear to be a more economical and pragmatic approach, it leaves the business open and unprepared for any disasters that may arise, be they natural or humanmade.
While it may entail a higher cost, it's good standard practice to always invest in good insurance coverage. In doing so, the business will be able to receive the support that it will require to get back on its feet if the situation calls for it. As small as it might be, you'll be surprised at how much of a difference this can make in the event that it is needed.
It's not difficult to be overwhelmed when running a business. After all, the role not only entails a sizeable investment of resources but also the time in giving each and every area of the company the attention that it needs. By ensuring that the business has the right insurance coverage, the consultancy services it needs and current-generation technology at its disposal, not only do you allow the company to remain competitive but also increase its chances of success.

I know swatches of the Hourglass ambient lighting blush are long time overdue, but believe me it was worth the wait.
When it comes to blushes, I prefer a natural glowy finish, being so pale anything else makes me look like a clown in no time. This blushes deliver just that, a natural, glowy finish, and buildable color.

Farming Minister George Eustice has refused to guarantee the devolved regions will be able to veto the entry of hormone-treated beef or chlorinated chicken to the UK after Brexit.
He was pressed on the issue by MPs on the Welsh Affairs Select Committee last week, who asked him several times whether Wales would be in a position to block food imports produced to lower standards during the course of any future trade negotiations.
Though he acknowledged there would need to be a role for the devolved administrations in trade talks, he would not be drawn on the specific question of a veto.
"When it comes to the devolved administrations, there is clearly going to need to be some kind of mechanism to engage with them, not least because after the passing of the EU Withdrawal Bill, these key elements of EU law will become UK domestic law", Mr Eustice said.
"It will be unlawful to have hormone-treated beef and it will be unlawful to have chlorine-washed chicken, and if we wanted to change this, we would need to repeal that legislation before we would be able to do any trade deals along those terms.
"In such a situation, there will be a role for both Westminster and probably the devolved administrations as well.
"The issue about the way in which devolved administrations will be engaged in trade deals is one which is still being discussed with the Department of International Trade."
The Minister also defended the Government's rejection of a Labour amendment to the Trade Bill which would have ensured EU food safety standards were included in any future deals the UK signed.
He told the MPs it was important to 'face the future rather than cling to the past'.
"To have an amendment which says we want to hang on to this bit or that bit of EU regulation for eternity is the wrong way to go", he said.
"We have to learn as a country to take responsibility for things ourselves and not always think we need the EU to tell us what to do.
"This is a cultural shift for we as politicians, but also for our civil service."

Being a police officer can be a difficult job, but there are several across the country who have done an absolutely pawesome job.
Four particularly brave officers have managed to claw their way out of obscurity and into the public eye.
You could say they're the cat's meow.
Toby from Kapiti Police
Toby overcame a rough start to become one of the New Zealand Police's top officers.
"Before joining, I was living on the streets and tiny because I didn't have food," Toby told Newshub.
"I never had plans to join, but I was rescued by a nice police officer in Kapiti and it really inspired me to be able to help others, and it all went from there!"
His new life now involves patrolling rural areas and keeping an eye out for anyone who needs help.
"I've gone into field intelligence and spend most of my days scouring bushes, beaches and paddocks looking for any suspicious activity," he meowed.
"It's quite flexible so I manage to spend some time at the beach or with the horses down the road which is definitely a perk."
However there are challenging parts to the job. He has less time for cat naps now and dogs are still a work in progress (Toby said they "take all the credit").
But he's happy with his new role and his contribution to society, even with the shift work and late nights.
"My life has completely turned around now, I've built up a lot of strength and fitness, I've got some stability in my life and I've met some great people," he said.
"My parents both work for police so they're really understanding of me being out most nights and coming home late, often waking them up!"
And he urges people to take the work police cats do seriously.
"We do a lot of important work within police and the wider community too."
Senior Constable Snickers from Whangapāraoa Police
Senior Constable Snickers claims to be a "working police officer", based out of the Whangapāraoa Police Station.
Named after the chocolate bar, he's the highest-ranked police cat in New Zealand. He got his start after getting delivered to the station as a youth.
Snickers is known for his community policing approach, which involves frequent disappearances from the station when he instead ventures into the community.
"I am always on PAWtrol 24/7 and also assist the police with victims when they visit my station giving them cuddles. I am part of the SNAP squad (Sensitive New Age Police)," Snickers told Newshub.
Newshub asked Snr Const Snickers if they an interesting story about working for the police, and he revealed an embarrassing moment.
"I once got kicked out of the picture theatre up in Whangapāraoa while on patrol, as people were getting alarmed that something was brushing up against their legs," he purrs.
"I was only trying to keep their jaffas safe."
Tia from Wellington Central Police
Feline crime-fighter Tia works at the Wellington Central Police Station, helping sniff out mice and criminals.
"This is my lovely cat Tia. She's at work with me today, helping do some police work," a senior constable said, introducing the hero.
"Hopefully she'll sniff some stuff out for us today."
A video posted to Facebook shows the fluffy animal dressed in a little police vest, assisting cops by conducting an investigation of various office areas.
After a careful scene examination, Tia goes outside where she takes a vantage point on top of a police car - the best place to spot any criminal behaviour.
When Tia's patrol is over, she settles in for a snooze on an office chair.
"Tia generally only works half-hour shifts, she's going to go have her cat-nap," her handler said.
A welcome reward for a brave cat helping protect the New Zealand public.
Molly from Manuwera Police
Police officers are used to saving lives - but most are probably not as adorable as this one.
Constable Gaylene Rice heard meowing coming from the car park at the Manurewa police station on Halver Rd in 2016.
As she approached the clothing bin the meowing became louder, and upon closer inspection she found a tiny kitten wrapped in a cardigan dumped in front of the bin.
- Kitten finds new home at Manurewa police station
- Police kitten Molly gets comfortable at the station
The officers at the station have dubbed her Manurewa Molly, and the tiny kitten quickly became the most popular member of the police station's staff.

(Jeopardy) (Newser) – A tip for future Jeopardy contestants: Pronunciation is key. So Nick Spicher learned on Monday's episode when he was penalized $3,200 for mispronouncing the answer to a "Before & After" clue. After Alex Trebek read out "a song by Coolio from 'Dangerous Minds' goes back in time to become a 1667 John Milton classic," Spicher responded, "Gangster's Paradise Lost," when the correct answer was "Gangsta's Paradise Lost," per TMZ. Jeopardy explains "gangsta" and "gangster" have separate definitions in the Oxford English Dictionary, so Spicher "changed not only the song's title, but also its meaning—making his response unacceptable." Spicher, who fell out of the lead, finished a champion with more than $15,000 in winnings. (Spelling is important, too.)

> Chapter 83
Psalm 83
American Standard Version
God, Don'T Keep Silent
O God, keep not thou silence: Hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult; And they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
Thy take crafty counsel against thy people, And consult together against thy hidden ones.
They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; That the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
For they have consulted together with one consent; Against thee do they make a covenant:
The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagarenes;
Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre:
Assyria also is joined with them; They have helped the children of Lot. Selah
Do thou unto them as unto Midian, As to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;
Who perished at Endor, Who became as dung for the earth.
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb; Yea, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna;
Who said, Let us take to ourselves in possession The habitations of God.
O my God, make them like the whirling dust; As stubble before the wind.
As the fire that burneth the forest, And as the flame that setteth the mountains on fire,
So pursue them with thy tempest, And terrify them with thy storm.
Fill their faces with confusion, That they may seek thy name, O Jehovah.
Let them be put to shame and dismayed for ever; Yea, let them be confounded and perish;
That they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah, Art the Most High over all the earth.

text:
The red light flickered out.
Garbed in white, the boy from Isomer unleashed his spell. Five minutes of doing nothing but pouring magic into his wand manifested itself as a field of ice. It spread around him, flash freezing everything in a small bubble of space. Plants and insects alike died in droves. Even tiny drops of water in the air crystallized and fell to the ground in an explosion of snow.
Standing next to his fellow red marble holder, the other boy should have been caught within the ice as well.
"Frostbite is no laughing matter in the short-term. Not particularly painful as it tends to numb the senses, but it would make moving difficult. With proper application of ointments and potions, all but the worst effects can be reversed before permanent damage is done."
"He–He doesn't seem affected by it at all!"
The vampire shook his head with a chuckle. A few flakes of snow fell from his hair as he moved.
"You know," he said, locking cold eyes with his companion, "I was perfectly willing to honor our truce. But after that, I think a light snack is in order." A feral grin spread across his face.
The Isomer student realized his mistake as soon as he saw the two sharp fangs dangling from the smiling mouth. He tried to conjure up a wall of ice between the two of them, but the vampire was behind him before the wall could grow more than a few inches.
Taking hold of his victim's shoulder and head, the vampire made room for his head and dipped his fangs into flesh.
He didn't drink for long. To the Isomer student's credit, he managed to coalesce a few icicles and toss them towards the vampire, over his shoulder.
The vampire was fast enough to dodge. He did end up releasing the other student.
Clutching his neck, the Isomer student spun around. He conjured a large wave of water rather than ice, attempting to push back and wash away the vampire.
The vampire didn't even get his feet wet. He jumped out to the side, planting both feet on a tree. The entire trunk cracked and snapped as the vampire kicked off. Splinters of wood fell to join the snow on the ground. As he flew overhead, the vampire grabbed hold of the stunned student's collar. He gripped tight as his feet hit the ground and used his continuing momentum to fling the boy out of the ward.
Hank winced, making an audible note of empathetic pain as the kid slammed into a tree. It didn't shatter like the other one, but this tree hadn't been flash frozen either.
From somewhere inside his pocket, a faint red glow lit up the Isomer student's white uniform. The same pocket that had held his marble, if Zoe remembered correctly.
The student wasn't done, however. He staggered to his feet. After shaking his head, he charged forwards, ice flowing around him as he prepared another attack.
Crossing his arms, the vampire just smiled. A few drops of blood still stained his teeth red.
Ice and a body hit the invisible sphere of a ward a few paces away. Blood drained from the Isomer student's face as he tried slamming a shoulder into it. Anger bled away to worry as his fists pounded into the ward. Icicles hit, glancing off without leaving a single mark in the air.
"Thanks for the meal," the vampire said with a wave of his hand. He turned and ran into the forest.
And left the Isomer student disqualified.
"Wow," Hank said softly. "Two students have already been taken out of the game."
"In less than two minutes," Zoe added with a smile.
"Isomer Academy and Mount Hope are both down one student each. But will we see a third?"
The screens changed from the medics rushing up to the Isomer student to Eva and the rest of the violet group.
"A tense standoff by the looks of things," Hank continued.
Zoe wasn't so sure. If Eva hadn't attacked them by now, they would probably reaffirm their truce.
"Both groups of three have no pairs from the same school. Which means that as soon as one person attacks another, they leave their backs open to possibly getting attacked in return. I doubt…" Zoe trailed off as Eva held out her hands to the other girls. She started speaking as well.
It was a mere moment before both girls were shaking her hands.
"Ah, see. They'll have to betray each other later."
"Well, no third then," Hank said, sounding almost disappointed. He perked up almost instantly as a voice came over the earpieces saying that they were going to display that previous battle again. "But, with how far apart the students are, that gives us time to go over those two fights. Let's start with the most recent."
The screen flicked backwards to a still image of the ice spell.
Except it wasn't a still image. Zoe leaned closer, watching the snow form in the air in slow motion.
And extremely high resolution.
"It is a very beautiful spell," Zoe said, deciding to voice her thoughts aloud. "Not something a student would likely be able to cast in an instant. He had probably been preparing it for some time."
"I'm slack-jawed watching this footage again," Hank said, only exaggerating slightly, "but it didn't seem very effective."
"Against a human, I imagine it would have instantly incapacitated them. Even if he hadn't known that he was walking with a vampire, he should have realized that things aren't always what they seem with the Nod Complex. And," Zoe started, doing her best to hold in an exasperated sigh, "he really shouldn't have stood around doing nothing after his first attack failed. The vampire taunted him for a good ten seconds during which he could have done plenty more."
The footage on the screen sped up until the vampire's fangs were half into the human's shoulder.
"He was a vampire then?" Hank asked with a slight somber tone to his voice.
"It seems I was wrong earlier," Zoe said slowly.
Given that, largely thanks to Wayne, most of the mundane world believed that vampires had been responsible for the incident in Lansing, they were likely to be a somewhat touchy subject. Though it had been more than a decade ago, an entire city had been wiped off the maps. Family and friends of those who had perished were probably watching the broadcast right now.
Zoe wasn't sure if she should say something. Or what she should say, even. Some platitude about how all the vampires involved were dead? That wasn't even true. She knew of at least two survivors, though one was a victim and the other hadn't had anything to do with the incident itself.
Not to mention that such a statement wouldn't make anyone feel better. Knowing what had happened from first-hand experience didn't make her feel any better about it. Had it not been for Wayne, she would have died along with her parents.
Zoe pressed her lips together into a tight line. Saying something would be crass. Politicians and spokesmen for magical societies could say more careful words at a later date.
Thankfully, or perhaps noticing that Zoe had gone silent, the image switched to the first fight.
"Ah, this was a particularly interesting fight in terms of air magi," she started with a smile. Air magic was a safe topic and, best of all, she could talk about it for a few minutes at the very least.
"I'll say," Hank started. "The way the student from Faultline moved…"
Perhaps she could become an announcer at events like these when she retired. It was a lot like teaching. Going over uses of magic and the like. That and the slow motion lightning bolt was a beautiful sight to see. She could definitely get used to seeing magic performed in front of high quality cameras.
Of course, that assumed the world would still be around in the far future.
Zoe pushed that sour note from her mind.
"Using air magic, one can essentially wrap air around one's body…"
— — —
Eva slowed her run, sniffing at the air. She held up a hand and waved it in a silent gesture for her companions to slow down. They did so, though Eva couldn't tell if it was because of her hand motions or simply because she had stopped.
Frankly, she didn't care so long as they weren't charging ahead and weren't attacking her.
A few more whiffs of air had Eva thoroughly confused. There was something familiar in the air. Something she couldn't quite place. A slimy feeling. Or maybe more spindly.
"What's wrong?"
Eva glanced back at Anise. "Do you smell anything?" she asked in a nearly silent whisper.
The nun-trainee wrinkled her nose with a frown, staring at Eva as if she were setting up some trap. She did eventually try smelling at the air.
"Nope," she said with a shake of her head. "I smell pine and wood. Maybe a little rotting plant-life? Nothing too unusual for where we are."
Eva frowned and looked towards Emily.
The other girl shrugged her shoulders. "Maybe it is some demon thing?"
"I don't think so. My sense of smell isn't much better than most humans."
Eva paused, thinking to herself. She actually hadn't ever tested such a thing. Really, Devon should have thought of it. Her statement still held true. She hadn't noticed any significant changes in her sense of smell.
While it was possible that it had been a gradual thing that she wouldn't have noticed over the years, the large leaps with her recent treatments had brought drastic changes. If her sense of smell had been enhanced or just altered, she likely would have noticed along with everything else.
"Just keep up your guard," Eva said, moving forwards again at a far more cautious pace.
The two followed after her, Emily turning her head this way and that while Anise's glowing eyes had started up again. Emily's wand darted around everywhere she looked. So far, she hadn't used a single spell. If they did end up fighting, Eva really hoped that she would use a spell before then just so she knew what kind of mage she would be fighting.
Anise didn't have a wand out. With the eye in her chest, she really didn't need one. Assuming she was like other nuns and relied on the Elysium Order's magic, Eva had a good idea of what to expect. Though she was very well aware that they could use thaumaturgy if they felt like it.
Though the sensation was growing stronger, Eva glanced back over her shoulder as a thought occurred to her. "I don't suppose either of you know of any creatures with platinum scales?"
Emily shook her head in a negative.
However, Anise froze for a split second. Her eyes lit up a few shades brighter, filling the surrounding forest with light before returning to their normal luminosity.
"I don't know of any creatures with literal platinum for scales. None that are still around," she added, effectively confirming Arachne's experience with the gorgon. "There are a number of reptile breeds that have scales that might appear metallic. In fact, almost every magical reptile can be specifically bred for specific scales."
Eva groaned. "That doesn't narrow it down very much."
"Why do you ask?"
"Oh, just something that is in here with us might have scales looking like platinum. A few friends of mine suggested gorgon–"
"But they're extinct."
"I know."
If she actually had the scale, showing it to Anise might be enough for her hive mind to identify. Unfortunately, Randal had kept a hold of it. Assuming he had even brought it with him. If he had, she would need to run across him out in the forest.
Something that would be much easier if she could just sense the demon inside him.
Eva froze. She stopped suddenly enough that Emily bumped into her back. Not hard enough to knock either of them off balance. Enough for Emily's heart rate to briefly spike as she jumped away from Eva with her wand raised.
"I'm so stupid," Eva said, ignoring the wand at her back.
Both girls blinked, glancing at each other before focusing on Eva.
"It wasn't a smell. Why would I think that? How does something even smell slimy?"
"What's wrong?"
"There's a demon out here with us."
Anise immediately turned to scan the surrounding area. Her fingers started to crackle with white lightning.
Emily didn't take her wand off Eva. "Friend of yours?" she asked with narrowed eyes.
"Normally. Used to be?" Eva wasn't quite sure. "At the moment, I doubt it."
"We should move," Anise said. Her voice was tinged with actual fear. It even trembled slightly. Emily's heart rate had risen, but Anise was in a whole other league. "We don't– I can't– A real demon?"
Eva frowned. Do I not count? Sure her treatment wasn't complete, but it was close enough.
Then again, Anise's hive mind likely labeled her as an abomination rather than a demon.
"Yes a real demon," Eva snapped. What was she so worried about anyway?
The answer came almost as soon as she wondered.
The Elysium Order had found themselves embarrassed by demons several times over the past two years. Not a single engagement had gone well for them. At least none Eva had been involved in. Lynn Cross and the Charon Chapter had been driven out of town with a few losses. Ylva had demolished their inquisitorial squad after they had abjectly failed in their mission to recover Nel. Eva had stolen an artifact right from under their nose and dumped it on their front porch after she had finished with it. Which was probably a fairly large embarrassment on its own.
The only damage they had really done to demons in return had been killing Arachne.
Perhaps Anise, being a mere student and trainee, didn't have the power necessary to pull off a similar stunt.
"It won't matter anyway. She already knows where we are. Following us won't be difficult."
Especially given other demons' ability to sense Eva. Not that she was going to admit that to her companions.
"We can't fight a demon. Are you insane?"
Eva glanced at Emily, pointing a finger at herself with an incredulous look on her face.
The Mount Hope student just shrugged and turned a pitying look on Anise.
While they sat around talking, the demon closed in on them. The slimy sensation grew stronger and stronger.
Right up until Eva's sense of blood registered something other than the few animals and insects that were still around.
Thin tendrils, each no thicker than a pencil, swarmed across the forest floor. They managed to maneuver through the trees and brush without winding up tangled around anything despite being spread out enough to half-surround Eva and her group. The care they took in crawling through the brush kept even a single leaf from rustling.
If it weren't for her ability to sense both demons and blood, it was entirely possible she wouldn't have noticed until it was too late.
Though, as she had just said, she doubted there would be an escape.
Eva crossed her arms and sighed.
Tendrils snapped out of the brush, all of them leaping as one.
Emily managed to get off the ground, leaping from a pillar of earth that hadn't been there a moment ago. She wasn't quite fast enough. The tentacles caught her in the middle of her jump, wrapping around her waist and pinning her arms to her side.
Anise didn't fare half as well. Lightning crackled at her fingertips, but she didn't get a chance to actually fire it before becoming wrapped up like a mummy.
Eva didn't bother to move. She could have blinked away. She could have fought back with explosive fire. But escaping would have wound up with her leaving Anise behind. Something she really didn't want to do at the moment. Not until the vampire had been incapacitated.
Neither did she want to fight.
So instead, she simply stood still with her arms crossed. Even as a bundle of tendrils wrapped around and snaked up her leg, Eva didn't move. The tendrils lifted her up, swinging her upside down. Eva kept her arms crossed.
And just glared at the main mass that was slowly approaching.
— — —
"T-tentacles?" Hank said with a nervous chuckle.
Zoe pressed her face to her palm, not willing to meet his eyes. "She's actually pretty nice once you get to know her," she said slowly.
"That's… a she?"
"She's employed by Brakket Academy as a security guard. Or was in the past. I believe her contract expired. I'm guessing that Wallace picked up her contract for this event."
"Ah hah ha." Again with the nervous laugh. "Well, precarious situation for our young ladies."
— — —
The cheer filled voice came from the main mass of tentacles, filled with far more gurgles than Eva remembered. Of course, she couldn't see a humanoid body formed in the mass, so she was probably just forming up a mouth in the middle of it all.
"Lucy. I think you have some explaining to do."
Before the tentacle demon could even start to respond, Eva's head snapped to the side as she heard rapid chanting from the nun.
"Stop!" she cried out.
But Lucy was already one step ahead. A number of tentacles pressed into Anise's open mouth and wrapped around her tongue.
The way Anise's eyes bulged and she started choking almost had Eva feeling sorry for her. Almost.
She tried to keep her voice as firm as possible. "Don't banish my friend. Please," Eva added after a slight pause. "She's not going to hurt us. Right Lucy?"
The main mass of tentacles quickly formed up into the familiar shape of a more humanoid Lucy, Brakket security uniform and all. Mostly. From the waist up. Below her waist, the mass of tentacles remained as it was. Eva wasn't too surprised. A good portion of her body was still spread out across the forest floor.
"Oh no," she said, shaking her head left and right far further than anyone with a proper skeleton could manage. "Wally said that no matter how much I get attacked, I can't break anyone."
Wally? Eva thought with a confused blink of her eyes. They're on a first name—no, nickname basis?
In a hushed whisper, Lucy added, "He's scary."
"How long have you been healed for? I visit you every other week!"
"I… don't know. A long time. Wally wanted me to pretend," she said. "After seeing me, he asked if I could stay pretending to heal until he had a job for me." Her face rippled like a drop of water in a smooth pond, goofy smile turned to a sad frown along with the ripple. "It was so boring. But the nurse was nice. She played with me sometimes."
"That's great and all," Emily shouted from somewhere around, "but since she's your friend, think you can get her to let us go?"
Eva, still hanging upside down, looked up to her feet. Emily was stuck in the middle of a web of tentacles. Her hands were empty, lacking the wand that had fallen to the forest floor.
"Good point. Lucy?"
The tentacles started to lower Eva down. They didn't make it more than a few inches before Lucy paused.
"I forgot," she said. "I'm supposed to take anyone I find out of the wards."
"Yeah, I figured."
Though it struck Eva as odd. Whoever Lucy found would almost assuredly be ejected from the match. She wasn't really the kind of thing that even a group of sixth years could face. Eva had only personally seen Lucy fight on one occasion, back when the half-demon half-zombie golems had attacked the dormitory. Even then, she had only seen her fight for a few moments.
Though she had effectively torn apart her target at the time.
Of course, Irene had told her of two other times Eva had missed Lucy fighting. Once during the same incident, tearing apart and flinging the golems at Ylva. The other time had been more recent. Enigmas within Eva's domain had escaped through her dormitory room. They made the unfortunate mistake of treading on Lucy.
From Irene's description of them being peeled apart like an orange, Eva had no doubts about Lucy's strength.
Even limited to not harming anyone, she would easily be able to capture anyone just as she had captured Eva and her companions. It was as simple as walking out of the arena from there. The only one who might stand a chance at facing her was Anise, and that was simply because of her ability to banish demons. Even her lightning probably wouldn't do too much damage to such a disembodied creature. Maybe others if they could blink.
Unless Redford wanted her to thin the groups no matter who she came across, he had probably told her to retreat under certain circumstances. Maybe managing to run away.
Eva blinked out of Lucy's grasp, righting herself using the blink. She appeared right in front of Lucy's main body.
Her fist went straight into Lucy's face, sinking in without much resistance. The tendrils making up Lucy's head started to constrict around her fist as expected.
Eva's hand burst into flames.
Lucy's face split in two, avoiding the fire.
It probably wouldn't hurt her. Lucy was constantly covered in a greasy sheen. A little flame might dry her out, but not cause any permanent damage. She was a demon, after all.
But the way she avoided the flames had Eva smiling. Almost confirming her theory.
Eva blinked a short distance away.
"Alright Lucy. Let's fight."
"F-Fight? But–"
"Or you can let my companions loose."
The two halves of her head twisted to independently look at each of her captives.
Anise glared with her burning eyes only enhancing the menacing look. The effect was somewhat ruined as tentacles still filled her mouth. Not to mention that she looked about ready to throw up.
On the other hand, Emily actually looked interested. Her eyes were following Eva with rapt attention.
"I can't," Lucy said.
It was probably part of her contract. Eva would have to free them or they would have to escape on their own.
Perfectly acceptable conditions.
"Alright," Eva said with a smile. A wide, teeth-filled smile. "Since you can't hurt me, I'll go easy on you."
Eight marbles of explosive fire appeared between each of Eva's fingers. None were high-explosives. She had only put a small bit of magic into each one, enough to make them unstable. Nothing compared to the room-destroying explosion she had used to free Lucy from the hunters' trap.
She pulled her hands back, crossing her arms over her chest with each hand open and clawed around her shoulders.
So long as that drone was hovering around overhead, she might as well be theatrical.
She flung her arms out, throwing the marbles as she did so.
Before the first even touched Lucy, Eva blinked away.
Reappearing in front of the main branch of tendrils holding Emily up, Eva lifted her claws high and swiped downwards. The sharp tips of her carapace didn't quite cut through the entire branch of tentacles. She only made it about halfway through.
It was enough. Emily dropped out of the main mass of tendrils.
Several explosive pops sounded behind Eva as she bent to flick the wand upwards. Emily caught it without issue.
She started casting as Eva dove to the side, avoiding another bunch of tendrils after her.
Looking up at Lucy's main body again, she was actually smoking. A number of black scorch marks marred her skin—or the masses of tendrils that were pressed together to appear as skin.
Eva felt a little guilty. More about cutting off some of her tentacles than anything else. But her fingers weren't Elysium Order lightning or cursed with whatever was on the demon hunter's sword. She should be able to regenerate a few severed tentacles with relative ease.
Raising her arm, Eva skipped the explosions entirely. A stream of sticky fire flew from her fingertips.
The wave caught Lucy square in the chest.
Or it should have.
Lucy split again. The bulk of the fire passed straight through her, landing on the trees and brush beyond her body. A good amount still splashed around the edges of the hole, clinging to her body as Eva had intended.
Still, it was enough of a distraction to let Eva blink over to Anise.
Unlike Emily, Anise was wrapped up with so many tentacles that almost nothing of her could be seen from the neck down. Slicing through the thick bunch of tentacles would be not only impossible, but also cruel. One or a few, Eva could give herself a pass on. Not a full tree trunk's worth.
"Can't you blink or teleport?"
Anise, eyes wide and pleading for release, shook her head.
With a groan, Eva blinked out of the way of another group of tentacles.
Despite telling Lucy that she would be going easy on her, Eva really didn't have all that much else she could do. Her fingers traced along the scales of the snake wrapped around her wrist. But she shook her head. Basila probably wouldn't be too helpful at the moment. Not against Lucy.
Anything else she could use wasn't something she wanted to reveal on camera. She did have her dagger with her, but it was hidden inside the lining of her jacket. Arachne had helped to create the hidden pouch. It wasn't easy to get to, but her fingers should be able to sever the lining if there was a desperate emergency.
And, while she did have one other trump card, she really wasn't willing to play it without being in absolute mortal peril for fear of being disqualified.
Emily, though freed from her entrapment, wasn't much help. Her concentration was solely on avoiding being recaptured. She ran circles around the area, using her earth magic to create pillars to jump off or to boost her around. Never once did she try sending even a single blade of earth towards Lucy.
Comparing them side by side as earth mages, Eva would much rather have Juliana at her side. While Emily was proficient in spell casting, she didn't have much in the way of a tactical mind. She couldn't win without attacking. If she wasn't going to attack, she might as well run away and remove the danger of being recaptured.
She wasn't even that good of a distraction with how Lucy could split her concentration and tentacles between the two of them.
"Alright Lucy," Eva mumbled to herself as she conjured another eight marbles of unstable flame between her fingers.
Unlike her first volley, these might actually do a bit of damage. Still not to room obliterating levels.
She held onto them as she sprinted around, using her blood sense to keep one step ahead in dodging tentacles. Every second that passed, another bit of magic poured into them.
Once ready, Eva flung them one-by-one at the tree truck of tentacles holding up Anise. Each rumbled the forest with the noise as they tore into the tentacles.
"Stop," Lucy cried out just after Eva released the fifth bomb. The tentacles holding onto Anise withdrew, dropping the nun a few feet down to the ground.
Eva half expected her to jump to her feet and start flinging around white lighting. Instead, she got to her hands and knees, gagging and retching on the ground.
While Emily stopped by her, patting her back with a pitiful expression, Eva kept her eyes on Lucy.
A very quickly retreating Lucy. The tendrils, those still attached to her, had all pulled back to join with the main body.
Eva tried to tell herself that the sobbing she heard was just her imagination.
I'll have to apologize after this, she thought with a sigh as she turned to her companions.
She flung three three remaining bombs between her fingers over her shoulder as she walked towards both them and the camera, not looking behind her as they exploded in the background.
"Are you alright?"
Emily gave a shallow nod of her head.
Anise spat against the ground another five times before pulling a wand from the pockets of her jacket. She touched it to the tip of her tongue and closed her mouth. A few seconds later and she was spitting out a mouthful of water.
She repeated the process half a dozen times before Eva had enough.
"We've wasted enough time," she said, hooking her hands underneath the girl's arm and lifting her to her feet. "Let's go. And maybe next time we don't try banishing the tentacle monster that already has you in its grasp and, therefore, has its tentacles near your mouth."
Anise gave a few rapid nods of her head, still not talking and still filling her mouth with water.
At least she was on her feet and moving.

When implementing a succession scheme there are many considerations around the issue of stakeholder engagement. Here are some examples from the case study institutions.
We agreed beforehand what would happen if any senior managers said they wouldn't take part. If I got a no, I went to that individual's manager: 'Fred's said no.' If the manager confirmed the no, that was OK, though in one case eventually the SMT decided Fred was in the wrong job and he went back to being a great professor, leaving management to others.
We had a launch event for managers and staff, and it included a discussion of the support managers needed to give to the scheme. We said it would involve people being away from work, and emphasised that people would be away more than they might have expected. We said they should also find stretch projects for people to do. So we made it clear they had to put something in and they wouldn't immediately see results – but then we also held an event for managers at the end of the programme too, with presentations from participants.
We've had some senior managers in the faculties making decisions about whether people have got through or not, then failing to tell people who haven't got through because it's hard to do. We keep chasing them. We think it's really important not to let it drift so that this becomes the staff developers' role.
The senior people acting as assessors do need to stay objective and focus on the evidence in front of them. The scheme organiser needs to be assertive sometimes and remind them to look at the evidence. It's a matter of agreeing the rules and then sticking to them.

In 2004, Lucas County saw multiple visits from presidential candidates and their surrogates. In fact, the Seagate Convention center was the site of 3 visits within 7 days, just prior to the election in 2004 - not an easy task, but one they carried out very well.
Again it appears that the county and surrounding areas will get its share of visits from the presidential campaigns as Senators Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John McCain all plan to make stops prior to the March 4 primary.
What remains to be seen is the influence Ohio will have on the presidential race. In 2004, it went to Bush, but 2006 saw a sweep by Democrats for all but one state-wide office. Dems are hoping that momentum will carry forward, while the GOP hopes the state will stay in their column.
Be sure to tune in to Eye On Toledo on Wednesday, March 5th, as Fritz Wenzel, Communication Director for Zogby International, breaks down the results of Ohio's primary and the implications for Toledo and the surrounding area.

"U-Decide results demonstrate a growing consumer demand for stereoscopic 3D gaming experiences. To meet the needs and expectations of customers, formalizing quality standards needs discussion and ratification by game developers and technology enablers alike. There are clear benefits for developers to participate and engage in that discussion," said Alan Price, S3DGA's quality expectations steering team lead. In addition to being an interactive media entrepreneur, Mr. Price served as CTO of Electronic Arts Canada for five years.
There is a lot of debate in the cinema world about out of screen effects. They are regularly accused of breaking the 3D illusion, and that they somehow cheapen the movie or draw attention to the 3D. Other criticisms suggest that out of screen effects are too uncomfortable to the eyes for long periods, and cause headaches, etc.

Once more of the beaten path, a ramen place appears away from the malls and a welcome additon to gorordo ave. The ambiance is pleasant and spacious. But of course what you really want to hear is my opinion on the broth. I went with the tonkatsu cha shu men and the broth was tasty. It did not taste as creamy as others, im guessing due to the lack of egg. But it still tasted good, I am not fond of the type of noodle they use but it seems to be the more common type. A nice place hide away from the busy city and sip and chew some comfort food.

The festival has been the recipient of numerous awards, but one of the most significant came in 1996 when we were recognized at the Arkansas Governor's Conference on Tourism.
That year, the PurpleHull Pea Festival won the Henry Award, an award given each year by the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism for excellence in some area of tourism.
In a category that included tourism businesses and related entities of all sorts - not just other festivals - the PurpleHull Pea Festival won what is known as the "Bootstrap Award," given to the tourism organization that has done "the most with the least."
true, we do indeed accomplish a great deal with very little
resources. But we have one major asset: A large number of
individuals and sponsors from Emerson and the
surrounding communities contribute to our event in a whole spectrum of
ways. And they have made the PurpleHull Pea Festival & World
Championship Rotary Tiller Race an event you don't want to miss.

Pre-buy inspection near Detroit, MI
I've found a Aeronca Chief I think I like and I'd like to find someone to do a pre-buy inspection near Detroit. I already ordered the FAA CD-ROM for the aircraft. Does anyone know of a individual that will do a good pre-buy so I'm confident on my flight home?

During my bachelor's degree in geography and master's degree in environmental sciences, I've developed a great interest in a wide range of subjects related to spatial and temporal data, especially spatial/urban planning, biodiversity, climate changes and statistic in social science. I'm also an enthusiast of open source projects, such as R, Grass-GIS, Linux, git, LaTeX, arduino and Leaflet, just to name a few. I'm trying integrate those tools in my personal and professional everyday work.
After a master thesis on alpine aquatic insects distribution modelling, I completed two terms for the laboratory of ecology and aquatic biology at Geneva University to develop some R applications and scripts in this field.
This site describes briefly some projects I've done so far and gives access to some papers i've written or cowritten.

If you want a sweet, buttery potato that you can mash, fry, bake or roast, pick up a few pounds of yellow potatoes the next time you go to the store. Unless you're cooking for a crowd, don't get a 10 pound bag of yellow potatoes. They don't keep as well as russet varieties, so just buy what you are able to use.
Yellow Potatoes Defined
Ranging in color from light yellow skin to golden yellow, yellow potatoes are a tasty tuber to add to your cooking repertoire. They have a rich, buttery flavor, and they are excellent mashed, boiled, baked or fried.
There are several different varieties of yellow potato. Yukon Gold potatoes are ovular, with yellow skin and pink eyes. Yellow Finns are flattened, sweeter than Yukon Golds and have deep eyes. Proventos are another yellow potato that range from oval to round and are medium to large in size.
Benefits of Yellow Potatoes
Yukon Gold yellow potatoes boast a lower starch content than their brown friends. You can substitute them in recipes that call for white potatoes without any trouble, and they even have a rich, buttery flavor, thus needing less seasoning than other varieties.
Storing Yellow Potatotes
Store yellow potatoes in at room temperature in a dark place. They have a higher sugar content than russet variety potatoes and cannot be kept as long, so prepare them within one to two weeks of purchase.

Due to the popularity of Invisalign aligners, you may be planning to use them to straighten your teeth. Still, you may be unaware of their many advantages. Here are a few of them.
An Orthodontic Treatment with Clear Aligners Is Quick
When compared to other orthodontic options such as traditional braces, plastic aligners straighten the teeth quickly. Metal braces may require several years to properly align the teeth, but the Invisalign trays often complete the repositioning of the teeth in fewer than 12 months.
Traditional braces may need a longer period to correct a dental misalignment because of the friction that is created by the components of the appliance. The metal brackets are connected to the archwire of the braces by elastic bands. As the bands rub against the metal, friction is produced. This friction works against the aligning forces of the archwire to prolong the treatment.
Clear aligners fit over the teeth and do not require elastic ligatures. As a result, the aligning force of the trays is unencumbered during the treatment. You just have to be sure to avoid leaving the trays out the mouth for more than a couple of hours daily.
During your treatment with Invisalign, multiple sets of aligning trays are used. The patient wears each set for several weeks and then replaces it with the next set in the series. The final set completes the treatment. However, a retainer may be required to prevent the teeth from shifting back into their former position.
Clear Aligners Are Almost Invisible in the Mouth
The aligners are constructed from transparent plastic, so the teeth are clearly visible when the appliance is in place. Also, the trays are produced in a dental laboratory from a mold of the patient's mouth. Thus, they fit precisely over the teeth. Consequently, your smile looks natural and appliance-free as the aligners are worn.
Clear Aligners Still Allow You To Easily Clean Your Teeth
Many orthodontic appliances are not removable, so you are required to navigate around the hardware to clean your teeth. Even though a dentist may recommend specialized tools to help clean bracket-covered teeth, using the items may still be time-consuming and cumbersome.
Clear aligners are removable, so the trays can be taken out of the mouth before you brush or floss. The trays can also be removed to make eating easier.
To learn more about Invisalign, schedule a consultation with an orthodontist in your local area.
