DLNA certification is not something that we generally scour through, but almost all new phones which can fall in line with the sharing standard have to get one. So every now and then there is a juicy nugget that pops out of the DLNA certification website.
Take the Galaxy S4, for example. Samsung has already launched the S4 in various markets with two different SoCs – one is Samsung's very own Exynos 5 Octa and the other is Snapdragon 600. However, the DLNA certification for a new version of the flagship, discovered by RBMen, reveals that Samsung is about to announce a Snapdragon 800-powered Galaxy S4.
The Galaxy S4 will soon get a more powerful twin
The certificates show Samsung models SHV-E330K and SHV-E330L, which are versions of the Galaxy S4 for South Korean carriers. The listing mentions the MSM8974 chip, which is the official internal name for the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800. This means the Snapdragon 800-powered S4 will likely be released in Samsung's home country first.
Snapdragon 800 is an SoC that truly ups the ante when it comes to smartphone processors. It features a quad-core CPU with a clock speed of up to 2.2GHz per Krait core. In addition, it has an integrated 3G/4G LTE modem that can deliver download speeds of up to 150Mbps, USB 3.0 connectivity and an Adreno 330 GPU that's said to deliver up to a 50 percent increase in graphics performance compared to its predecessor.

Broadcaster Derek Davis laid to rest in Dublin
Broadcaster Derek Davis (67) was remembered as a "fantastic father, friend, husband, broadcaster and angler" at his funeral in Dublin today.
The presenter, who died last Wednesday, was honoured at Victorian Chapel, Mount Jerome Crematorium in Harold's Cross.
Live at Three co- host Thelma Mansfield, Gay Byrne, Derry and Sally Anne Clarke, Charlie Bird, Anne Doyle, Bobby Kerr, and Tom McGurk were among the mourners.
President Michael D Higgins was represented by his Aide de Camp, Lieutenant Commander Patricia Butler, and Taoiseach Enda Kenny was represented by Commandant Kieran Carey.
Louis Armstrong's 'What a Wonderful World' played as Davis' coffin was carried through the doors of the church by his three sons.
Derek Davis
"The final chapter of dad's life was his best," son Michael said. "He didn't leave anything undone, he had a new lease of life ... I could not have asked for a better teacher and father. It was a privilege to be his son."
During the ceremony, friends and family members recalled his razor sharp wit, his gift for storytelling, and his questionable taste in suit jackets.
Davis had advised his sons to mourn his death for "an hour maybe a day" than to "pick out a decent red or cast a fly".

Joy Comes in the Morning
When you have the weight of the world on your shoulders due to a specific horrific situation in life and you fight depression, the night time is the worst.
Happy Daze of March 2017
It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade. ~Charles Dickens Great Expectations
Oppression… Depression…
Today is a crappy day. Not because anything particularly crappy happened today (yet) but because I am just so tired.
Through Trials…
There are days that I can honestly say I have looked up toward Heaven and wondered,"God are you really real?" It is the days I feel most lost, most alone, and most vulnerable. It is the days when I am deep in a trial and wondering "WHY!"
Happy Daze of February 2017
The February sunshine steeps your boughs and tints the buds and swells the leaves within. William C. Bryant

Silicon waveguides are now widely used to guide radiation in the near-infrared, mainly in the wavelength range of 1.1 – 2.2 µm. While low-loss waveguides at longer wavelengths in silicon have been proposed, experimental realization has been elusive. Here we show that single-mode integrated silicon-on-sapphire waveguides can be used at mid-infrared wavelengths. We demonstrate waveguiding at 4.5 µm, or 2222.2 cm−1, with losses of 4.3 ± 0.6 dB/cm. This result represents the first practical integrated waveguide system for the mid-infrared in silicon, and enables a range of new applications.

French National Assembly: Conference on Middle East Developments
This article has not been vetted by an editor at Paris HQ
A conference was held on Tuesday, January 17, 2017, at the Victor Hugo Hall of the French National Assembly to address "Middle East Developments, French and European Approaches."
A conference on Middle East Developments, French and European Approaches was held on January 17, 2017, at the Victor Hugo Hall of the French National Assembly. The key note speaker of the conference was Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI). She addressed several members of the French Parliament and former members of U.S. and European governments.
Other speakers included Lincoln Bloomfield, former Assistant U.S. Secretary of State and Dr. Alejo Vidal Quadras, former Vice President of the European Parliament, along with various members of the French Parliament. The speakers each focused on the Iranian regime's role in the current situation within the Middle East and how the JCPOA has impacted Iran.
"The people of Iran have not benefited from the JCPOA. Instead, the agreement filled the coffers of Khamenei and his Revolutionary Guards Corps and funded their deadly adventures in Syria and other parts of the region. The world has now learned that the Iranian mullahs' regime, the IRGC, the Hezbollah and their other mercenary militia in Syria do not seek to fight the Daesh (ISIS) and extremism, but are there to save the dictator of Damascus," said Rajavi. "There will be no political solution as long as the Revolutionary Guards and their militia are on the Syrian soil. So, if we want peace, we must start with expelling the Iranian regime from Syria. The main loser of a ceasefire and peace in Syria is the Iranian regime."
Arguments were made against the United States' Iranian policy, which was referred to as a policy of appeasement and inaction. "In light of the failure of the policy of appeasement, there is a great need for policy change to end the suffering of the people of Syria, their displacement and homelessness," said Rajavi. "One cannot unite with extremists to uproot extremism…No country should close their eyes on violations of human rights and women's rights in Iran for economic interests."
Mr. Bloomfield talked about the vulnerability of the Iranian regime, questioning why it would do everything in its power to delay a nuclear agreement and interfere in other countries throughout the region. "They are vulnerable because of the crimes that they have personally committed. In 1988, the justice minister Pourmohammadi personally authorized the killings of tens of thousands of people but so did other senior figures of the regime…People are guilty of these crimes and they have not been held accountable," said Bloomfield.
He noted that their involvement in the region was to deflect the issues within Iran. He noted that members of the U.S. government under President Obama were focused on the nuclear threat that Iran presented and that became the primary focus, ignoring all the other things that the regime was engaged in, both externally and internally. The reformists that many in Washington pointed to as making changes in Iran, but Bloomfield pointed out that repression has gone up, not down. "This is the dynamic of the Iran regime and so the reformist myth does not equal moderation," said Bloomfield.
Prominent former U.S. officials sent a letter to President-elect Trump, urging him to broaden the U.S. policy on Iran to include its human rights violations and the destabilization of the region as Iran continues to meddle in other countries, such as Syria, Iraq and Yemen. Multiple speakers noted that the European and United States need to be firm with Iran versus treaties that Iran does not stand by or uphold.
The other message was one of peace to the 80 million Iranians who live under the regime. These speakers noted that they weren't at war with Iranians, but they wanted to spread knowledge, so the Iranians would know what was being done in their name and how the funds from the nuclear agreement are not being used to economically benefit the Iranians.
Ms. Rajavi and several other speakers mentioned an alternative to the Iranian regime, which included the NCRI's 10 Point Plan. "Today, there is an alternative for Iran that is based on a democratic project which respects the followers of all religions and faiths, non-believers, all freedoms and women's equality with men. This alternative deserves to be heard," said Rajavi. "The only thing we need is to adhere to democratic values."
Several speakers pointed to the various demonstrations being held in Iran and how even political prisoners are speaking out against the regime, along with their families. "Thousands of demonstrators marked the birthday of Cyrus the Great, who wrote the world's first declaration of human rights, by calling for a future devoid of the criminal mullahs. A few weeks ago, on the Student Day, demonstrators demanded the freedom of political prisoners," said Rajavi.
She referenced the political prisoners' families in particular, applauding their standing up to the regime "by holding its officials accountable for their crimes, particularly the massacre of 30,000 political prisoners in 1988."
The NCRI has been key in getting intelligence about the situation in Iran out to the international community. Despite being labeled as terrorist in Iran, this group has focused on bringing an international light to the situation in Iran and the Middle East based on the regime's current method of spreading extremism.

"Gerrard ward"
Posted by Anonymous
This ward is very well run. The staff are friendly and considerate. The food is of a high standard and there are activities throughout the day. The rooms are fairly bare and lacking toilet and shower facilities which I think is the main drawback of the ward. Overall though it is a therapeutic pace to be.

When a user "follows" a CRM record, they are able to see posts about that record on their personal wall. This wall contains posts about the records the user is following, posts regarding the user themselves, or posts that mention the user. Today's blog describes how you can increase the activity feed follow limit per user for a CRM on-premises deployment using Windows PowerShell. Let's get started!
The maximum number of records a user is allowed to follow is 5,000. However, that number is set to 1,000 by default. This value is configurable and can be changed by an administrator or a user with the permissions to modify CRM deployment settings. A list of other deployment settings is provided here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh547394.aspx.
Windows PowerShell enables you to easily run deployment commands to change the configuration of your CRM on-premises deployment, such as tasks that can be performed by using the Deployment Manager user interface and more. You can also use the methods that are described in the Microsoft Dynamics CRM SDK to perform these tasks. The PowerShell cmdlets are installed on your computer when you install a Full Server role or when you install the Deployment Tools server role if you're installing individual server roles. To execute commands, you must first register the Microsoft Dynamics CRM commands with PowerShell.
If your CRM organization requires that users be able follow more than 1,000 records:
1. Create the following PowerShell script to update the advanced setting called ActivityFeedFollowLimit.
#optional params
[string]$ConfigurationEntityName ="Deployment",
[string]$SettingName ="ActivityFeedFollowLimit",
[object]$SettingValue ="5000",
$RemoveSnapInWhenDone = $False
if (-not (Get-PSSnapin -Name Microsoft.Crm.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue))
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Crm.PowerShell
$RemoveSnapInWhenDone = $True
$setting = New-Object "Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Deployment.ConfigurationEntity"
$setting.LogicalName = $ConfigurationEntityName
if($Id) { $setting.Id = $Id }
$setting.Attributes = New-Object "Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Deployment.AttributeCollection"
$keypair = New-Object "System.Collections.Generic.KeyValuePair[String, Object]" ($SettingName, $SettingValue)
Set-CrmAdvancedSetting -Entity $setting
Remove-PSSnapin Microsoft.Crm.PowerShell
2. Save the script as a Windows PowerShell cmdlet File (for example, SetActivityFeedFollowLimit.ps1).
3. Execute the cmdlet file as follows:
a. Log on to the administrator account in your Microsoft Dynamics CRM server.
b. Open a PowerShell command prompt.
c. Enter the following command:
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Crm.PowerShell
Note: This command adds the Dynamics CRM PowerShell snap-in to the current session. The snap-in is registered during installation and setup of the Microsoft Dynamics CRM server.
d. Enter the following command pointing to the file location of the previously created cmdlet:
Sample code for setting writable values in advanced settings tables can be found here.
Please note that updating the ActivityFeedFollowLimit setting will adjust the value for all CRM organizations hosted on a set of CRM servers. Additionally, this value can only be updated via PowerShell for CRM on-premises customers.
That's all for today readers! We hope you found today's tutorial useful. Interested in learning more? Check out our CRM Book, where you can access information regarding anything and everything CRM!
Until next time, happy CRM'ing!

Platonic love
|This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (January 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Platonic love (often lower-cased as platonic[1]) is a term used for a type of love that is non-sexual. It is named after Plato, who actually described a kind of love centered on same-gender relations and included sex which underwent a transformation during Renaissance (15th–16th centuries) to get its contemporary sense of nonsexual heterosexual love.[2]
Platonic love in the original sense of the term (love centered on same-gender relations) is examined in Plato's dialogue, the Symposium, which has as its topic the subject of love or Eros generally. It explains the possibilities of how the feeling of love began and how it has evolved—both sexually and non-sexually. Of particular importance is the speech of Socrates, relating the idea of platonic love as attributed to the prophetess Diotima, which presents it as a means of ascent to contemplation of the divine. For Diotima, and for Plato generally, the most correct use of love of human beings is to direct one's mind to love of divinity.
In short, with genuine platonic love, the beautiful or lovely other person inspires the mind and the soul and directs one's attention to spiritual things. Socrates, in Plato's "Symposium", explained two types of love or Eros—Vulgar Eros or earthly love and Divine Eros or divine love. Vulgar Eros is nothing but mere material attraction towards a beautiful body for physical pleasure and reproduction. Divine Eros begins the journey from physical attraction i.e. attraction towards beautiful form or body but transcends gradually to love for Supreme Beauty. This concept of Divine Eros is later transformed into the term Platonic love.
In Middle Ages arose a new interest in Plato, his philosophy and his view of love. This was caused by Georgios Gemistos Plethon during the Councils of Ferrara and Firenze in 1438-1439. Later in 1469 Marsilio Ficino put forward a theory of neo-platonic love in which he defines love as a personal ability of an individual which guides their soul towards cosmic processes and lofty spiritual goals and heavenly ideas. (De Amore, Les Belles Lettres, 2012.)
The English term dates back to William Davenant's The Platonic Lovers (performed in 1635); a critique of the philosophy of platonic love which was popular at Charles I's court. It is derived from the concept in Plato's Symposium of the love of the idea of good which lies at the root of all virtue and truth. For a brief period, Platonic love was a fashionable subject at the English royal court, especially in the circle around Queen Henrietta Maria, the wife of King Charles I. Platonic love was the theme of some of the courtly masques performed in the Caroline era—though the fashion soon waned under pressures of social and political change.

I have 3 more months supply, & if after that we're still not. I'm going to try that fertility tea so many of you have mentioned. Done been to the doctor about 2yrs ago & they tested both me husband & I & said there was nothing preventing us from it...it just hasn't happened yet...but I'm NOT giving up hope.

Posted 09/04/2013 at 10:36 AM
Posted 4 years ago
With the announcement back in July that Android 4.3 would keep the Jelly Bean moniker, Google fans quickly switched their attention to the next major addition to the mobile operating system line-up – the much rumored and highly anticipated Key Lime Pie. The Key Lime Pie name has been doing the rounds on the internet for a while and speculation that it was getting close led many to assume that the 4.4 would carry the name (me included). More fool us.
Android chief Sundar Pichai took his Google+ blog yesterday to post on the name for version 4.4, but it is not Key Lime Pie; in fact, it is not a pie at all, not even close. The next version of Android will be called KitKat.
Ever since version 1.5 of the operating system, Google has named Android after a sweat treat – Cupcake, Donut, Éclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich, and Jelly Bean. With 4.4, however, the company varied it up. Yes, KitKat is a sweat treat, and a nice one at that, but this will be the first time Android will be named after an actual brand.
"KitKat has been a favorite candy on the team for some time, so for the 'K' release, we asked if they'd be willing to lend their iconic candy bar to its name," said a post on the Android Google+ page.
Sundar Pichai went one step further and shared a picture of the KitKat Android statue from the lawn of Google's headquarters in California.
"On my return from Asia, I was also thrilled to find this guy waiting to greet me on the front lawn – love the new #AndroidKitKat statue and can't wait to release the next version of the platform that is as sweet as the candy bar that's one of our team's favorites," wrote Pichai.
As part of the Google/KitKat promotion, Google has teamed up with makers of the wafer bar, Nestle, to offer Nexus 7 tablets to lucky KitKat buyers. Nestle has also changed its KitKat Facebook and Google+ pages to show off the partnership.

For historic buildings, achieving code compliance is often perceived as one of the most formidable challenges to any rehabilitation project. It doesn't have to be. Innovative treatments and technologies, and the increasing adoption of rehabilitation codes present fresh opportunities for building owners, architects, consultants and local officials. New codes, materials and other planning and technical resources can facilitate life safety goals, while accommodating treatments that preserve the character of historic buildings.
The Department of Archaeology & Historic Preservation (DAHP) does not have authority to overrule a local code official. However, the ruling of the local code official can be appealed to a higher local official or board.
In Washington State most jurisdictions use the International Building Code (IBC), and many have also adopted the International Existing Building Code (IEBC). All jurisdictions must also adopt the Washington State Energy Code (WAC 51-11C). There are many exceptions for historic buildings with the IEBC and the Washington State Energy Code. In addition, a local government may amend or change a code to meet a particular to the local environment and conditions. The jurisdiction may also adopt different codes for mechanical or electrical work, for example. The major code organizations update the codes every three years; however, it may take several years for a municipality to adopt the most recent version.
The intent of all codes is to provide minimum requirements for new and renovated buildings in order to protect the health, safety and welfare of the public. Fire prevention and life safety remain the primary focus. The codes are written so the regulations can be consistently and uniformly interpreted. However in reality, the codes are often interpreted differently depending on the official. When a local building code official is flexible on interpretation of the code, the official or the city is possibly assuming some liability if an accident occurs. Be advised that building codes are primarily written to govern new construction. Most buildings fall out of compliance with current codes within a few years of construction as new codes are adopted. Building code requirements vary depending on the occupancy or function of the building. Types of occupancy include: residential, assembly, business, educational, mercantile and others. Another factor considered when applying code requirements is the type of construction. The construction classification categorizes a building according to its fire resistance characteristics. Construction materials and elements are assigned fire ratings, usually in terms of hours until structural failure would occur in a fire.
The Washington State Historic Building Code, chapter 51-19 WAC, has been repealed.
This Chapter will be deleted in future IBC editions in favor of a reference to the International Existing Building Code (IEBC) which includes the provisions in Chapters 4 (Prescriptive Compliance Method) and 14 (Performance Compliance Methods). Furthermore, Chapter 12 of the IEBC (2012) pertains specifically to Historic Buildings (see below).
Historic Buildings. The provisions of this code relating to the construction, repair, alteration, addition, restoration, and movement of structures, and changes of occupancy shall not be mandatory for historic buildings where such buildings are judged by the building official to not constitute a distinct life safety hazard.
ADAAG is not a model code, but is often enforced by local jurisdictions to ensure equal access to all building occupants. There is a section pertaining to Historic Buildings (§4.1.7 Accessible Buildings: Historic Preservation) that offers some alternative paths of satisfying the guidelines. For small multi-story buildings, there are also exclusions for requiring elevators (§206.2.3 Multi-story buildings and facilities) that aren't reserved particularly for historic buildings.
Historic Buildings. Repairs, alterations and additions necessary for the preservation, restoration, rehabilitation or continued use of a building or structure may be made without conformance to all of the requirements of this code when authorized by the building official provided.
The building or structure has been designated by official action of the legally constituted authority of this jurisdiction as having special historical or architectural significance. Any unsafe conditions as described in this code are corrected. The restored building or structure will be no more hazardous based on life safety, fire safety and sanitation than the existing building.
The UBC also has an entire Uniform Code for Building Conservation, which can be officially adopted or, more often, referenced by the code official.

Before Dawn:
After talking with her father, Kurai gains the confidence she needs to face Magnus. Kurai's father Zeng, her mother Aria, Grandfather Lee, and Aunt Omaya help her train and prepare before the next day. The next comes, it is still dark outside and not yet dawn. Zeng is awake and in his combat armor. He makes breakfast before its time to go. Aria is up getting ready and Omaya is also awake. Omaya is feeding her infant daughter, Jade as Tomaya walks over to them.
Tomaya: "Omaya dear, I want you to stay home with our daughter."
Omaya: "I wish I could, but I have to help Kurai."
Tomaya: "I understand, but you are a mother and Jade needs you. I will go and help out."
Omaya: "Alright."
Tomaya: "Thank you."
Tomaya gives Omaya a kiss on her cheek and goes to get ready himself. Meanwhile, Kyan, Kun, and Kesuk also ready themselves. Kurai tries once again to contact Korra or any of her past lives, but nothing happens. Kyan sees her sister trying again and sits next to her.
Kyan: "You okay?"
Kurai: "I'll be fine. It's almost dawn, I'm going to leave now. I guess I'll see you there."
Kyan: "Alright, but be careful and we will be there soon."
Kyan pauses for a moment and before Kuriai leaves she tells Kurai;
Kyan: "Oh, Kurai?"
Kurai turns to her sister.
Kyan: "Kick this sorry earthbender's backside."
Kurai smiles, nods, and sneaks out. After breakfast is made, Zeng, Aria, Tomaya, Kyan, Kun, and Kesuk head out. Omaya watches them go and worries for Kurai. On the way, they run into Merizo, who joins up with them.
Kurai reaches downtown Republic City just as dawn approaches and the sun rises over the buildings. Kurai walks in a defensive stance.
Kurai: "Magnus! I'm here, just like you asked!"
Kurai stops and listens. She can't hear anything but a few Satomobiles in the distance. Before she can react, she gets hit with earth and falls back.
Magnus: "I didn't think you would come and alone too."
Kurai looks up at Magnus from the floor.
Kurai: "That was a cheap attack."
Magnus: "I don't always play fair."
Kurai stands up and gets in her stance. As she does, she can see two other men walk up and recognizes Davenport and Alak.
Magnus: "Hope you said your farewells, because this is it for you."
Magnus earthbends rocks columns at Kurai. Kurai breaks them using a blazing arc, then firebends a fire stream at Magnus. Magnus blocks her fire with an earth wall, while Davenport and Alak earthbend two boulders at Kurai. Kurai manages to break one, but gets hit with the other. Magnus sees Kurai down and hits her again with earth columns. Kurai is tosses back again, but quickly stands up and airbends the three men back. Magnus stomps the ground creating a small earthquake which throws Kurai off balance and stops her airbending. Davenport uses earth sinking to trap Kurai in the ground. Kurai struggles to break free as Magnus, Davenport and Alak approach her. Magnus metalbends a sharp sheet of metal into a needle.
Magnus: "Let's get this over with."
Magnus is about to end Kurai's life, but is interrupted.
Kesuk: "Leave my sister alone!"
Kesuk airbends Magnus away from Kurai.
Aria: "Stay away from my daughter Davenport and Alak!"
Aria blue firebends Davenport away from Kurai as Zeng waterbends at Alak shooting ice needles at him. Kurai is very happy to see her parents, siblings, cousin, and uncles there. She gathers her strength and earthbends her way out of the ground.
Davenport: "Aria dear, you made it."
Aria: "I'm not going to let you hurt my daughter anymore!"
Davenport: "Magnus will take care of her, Its my job to end you dear."
Davenport earthbends columns at Aria. Aria breaks them and fights back with blue fire lashes hitting Davenport. Alak runs over to help his father against Aria. Merizo firebends two fire streams, hitting Alak before he his able to help his father.
Davenport is hit with Aria's blue fire lashes. After getting back up, Davenport earth shackles Aria's hands behind her back and then hits her with earth gauntlets. Zeng water whips at Davenport.
Zeng: "Stay away from my wife, you creep, and stay away from my family!"
Davenport gets hit, but stands his ground and smirks.
Davenport: "You must be this pet's (talking about Aria) husband. You should have kept her on a tighter leash. She's a wild one and I'm just putting her in her place."
Davenport earthbends a column at Zeng.
Zeng: "Pet!?"
Zeng avoids Davenport's column and angrily uses the water whips at him.
Davenport: "A woman is nothing more than a pet to a man and you are weak to let this woman take hold of you!"
Davenport stomps the ground, creating another earthquake to knock Zeng off balance. Zeng stays in position.
Zebg: "How dare you assault my wife that way. You should be ashamed!"
Zeng shoots water streams and creates a water vortex. He shoots it at Davenport. Aria jumps in and helps Zeng kicking fire streams at Davenport. Davenport does his best to defend himself from both of them.
The fight continues as Merizo and Tomaya go against Alak. Kyan, Kesyuk, and Kun help Kurai. Magnus sees the fight unfold and sees Kurai is free. He earth bombs Kurai. Kurai is hit and hurt more by that one attack then any other attack that has been thrown at her thus far. Kurai stands up as Magnus launches himself at her with an earth wave. Kurai sees him coming and firebends from her feet to avoid Magnus' attack, then blaze kicks Magnus off his earth wave. Magnus is thrown to the ground. Kurai waterbends, freezing Magnus solid in ice. Kurai walks up to him, gets in position to take his bending away from him. Magnus looks at Kurai still with a lot of pride.
Magnus: "Go ahead, take my bending! Just like you took my father's bending!"
Kurai hesitates and thinks for a moment. After a few seconds, Kurai backs away from Magnus.
Kurai: "I'm not going to take your bending."
Magnus is surprised by this.
Magnus: "What? Why?"
Kurai: "Your father is a grown man. You're only 14 and you were just following his orders. Look at me and tell me this is what you want. Are you willing to fall behind your father or keep your bending and become better than him?"
Magnus looks at Kurai.
Magnus: "You're giving me a second chance? Even after all the threats and attacks?"
Kurai: "Yes, because unlike your father who was too far gone, you're still young like me. We both still have a lot to learn. I'm sure your mother and sister miss you too and would want you home with them. I also know they love you and will forgive you."
Magnus sighs and nods.
Magnus: "Alright, you're right. I always thought I had to follow my father, but no more!"
Kurai: "You can change for the better Magnus. I know you can."
With that, Kurai frees Magnus. Magnus bows to Kurai with a smile and Kurai bows back smiling. Davenport sees Magnus bow to Kurai. Everyone stops fighting, seeing Kurai and Magnus settling their differences.
Davenport: "No! What are you doing!?"
Magnus: "This has to stop, Davenport. The Avatar was kind enough to give me a second chance and let me keep my bending. End this now."
Davenport looks at Magnus and shakes his head in anger.
Davenport: "You let a girl - younger than you - weaken your spirit. You don't know how disappointed I am in you, Magnus. You'll never be a man like me or your father for becoming soft."
Magnus: "You're right, I'm not like you or my father. I thought I was, but I am far better."
Kurai: "Listen to him Davenport."
Daveport: "Be quiet, boy. You're a traitor - you're nothing either! After all I've done for you, this is how you repay me!?"
Davenport turns to Kurai.
Davenport: "Listen to who? Everyone should be listening to me!"
He begins to get paranoid at this point.
Magnus: "Stand down Davenport. You're outnumbered and outmatched. I'am more than you or my father will ever be. Starting now."
Davenport begins to lose his cool.
Davenport: "I won't stand down and none of you weaklings can stop me!"
He realizes that he's losing focus.
Davenport: "I still have my son. He is loyal, which is something you aren't. If you only had that...And no, you won't even be an inch of what we are."
Alak realizes his father's words, as well as what Magnus said.
Alak: "No, father, enough is enough. Avatar Kurai and Magnus are right."
Davenport is surprised by this.
Davenport: "My own son, you traitor!"
Kurai: "Davenport please, everyone else has stopped. I really don't want to fight anymore or have to take your bending."
He looks at the Avatar.
Davenport: "You be quiet now and you won't take my bending!"
Davenport creates a sink hole under Kurai and Kurai falls in. He then lavabends around the sink hole, pouring the lava into the hole, then cools it, burying Kurai alive.
Aria: "Kurai!!!"
Davenport: "That's what you get, little pet."
Davenport laughs loudly and proudly.
Davenport: "I did it, I taught that little girl a lesson! I enjoy seeing y'all's faces like this. Y'all should be happy that I got rid of such a burden on your lives. You can properly thank me now."
Alak is concerned for his former student, realizing how wrong he was and how Kurai isn't at fault for his mother's death, and how close she is to her family, something he's wanted with his own father. Crying and also very angry, Aria breaks the earth around her hand, freeing herself, grabs Davenport and pins him against a tree. She holds a blue fire dagger to his neck.
Davenport: "Awe, what's wrong dear? Lose a daughter? I saved you the trouble of future embarrassment with that one. How about you make your husband happy and give him another boy?"
Davenport lavabends a line around him and Aria and smirks.
Zeng: "Kurai! Aria!"
Zeng gets angry.
Zeng: "That's enough!"
He bloodbends Davenport without moving his arms.
Zeng: "You have no idea who your dealing with."
Aria: "You disgusting, ungrateful, shameful, sorry man! I warned you and now I'm not holding back!"
Buried under the cooled lava, Kurai is alive having protected herself in an airball. She enters the Avatar State and earthbends her way out.
Kurai: "I told you to stand down Davenport! You chose not to listen! Leave my mom, my dad, and my family alone!"
Kurai earthbends the cooled lava at Davenport. He is surprised to see the Avatar sending the cooled lava back, and he shatters it in the middle. Aria is surprised but relieved to see her daughter is okay.
Davenport: "Why won't you and your mother stay down and obey me!? I will do what I wish with you and your mother, you hear me Avatar!!!?"
Kurai: "I won't let you!"
Davenport is now pestered by the fact that the Avatar is still alive.
Davenport: "You don't have to let me deary! I will do what I want by force! Such as taking your life away! Remind me, what happens when you die in your condition? Hehe, that's right, your kind is finished!"
In the Avatar State, Kurai airbends Davenport, knocking him back and away from her parents. Second, she firebends at Davenport. Davenport gets burned, then Kurai earthbends knocking him down with boulders. Davenport gets tossed around by Kurai and feels the pain. He knows he can't take much more punishment. He looks at his son and tries to win Alak back on his side.
Davenport: "You have my permission to assist me in this battle, son."
Alak: "I refuse, Father."
Davenport feels even more betrayed, and loses it completely.
Davenport: "How dare you, you ingrate! You're useless and worthless! How dare you doubt me and go against me!? No wonder your mother died, a disappointment like you killed that frail woman!"
Alak: "If anything, my mother died because it was your fault!"
Davenport: "Don't talk back at me ever like that again! You're my biggest regret in life - you can't even lavabend! That's why I always took Magnum's son for training instead of you, you are an embarrassment!"
Alak: "I can talk to you how ever I want! My biggest regret was following in your footsteps!"
Davenport knows his son is now a true traitor. He tries to earthbend at Kurai again, but Kurai finishes with Davenport by using her waterbending to freeze him solid up to his neck.
Zeng: "You're disgusting, Davenport! I won't ever forgive you after what you did to your own wife and my family!"
Kurai walks up to Davenport and gets in position to strip him of his bending. Davenport gives her a cold, dead look.
Davenport: "Don't think just because you can take away my bending that this will be the end of me. I will find a way to exact my revenge and end you. Hurry up!"
Kurai hesitates a bit, she personally doesn't like doing this, but she knows how dangerous he is.
Kurai: "You forced this on yourself."
Davenport despises the fact that he's about to lose his bending, but can't show it to them.
Davenport: "Of course you would resort to this. Two great men, Magnum and Davenport, having their bending stripped by the likes of you, a little girl. You have something against earthbenders."
Kurai: "I have nothing against earthbenders. You two give earthbenders a bad name - and great? No, both you and Magnum hurt my family. You wanted to create chaos. Like I said, I don't like taking away anyone's bending, but you left me no other choice."
Kurai removes Davenport's bending. Davenport feels empty now that his bending has been taken away from him. He also feels that he lost a part of himself that he will never get back.
Davenport: "You confused child, we were glorious earthbenders, whose only flaw would have been raising two pathetic sons. We wanted to rule the world the way we see fit, and it would have been the perfect world! No, you take pleasure in depriving benders of their bending. You should have taken away your mother's bending. I truly hate her and you now."
Kurai releases Davenport of her earthbending and returns to normal self. Aria quickly grabs Davenport's hands and handcuffs him.
Aria: "You're under arrest."
As the metalbending police force arrive to take Davenport. Before he is taken to prison, Davenport looks at Kurai one last time.
Davenport: "You'll give me and Magnum our bending one of these days, I swear this to you. I will get what I want."
As Davenport is taken away, deep down, he wishes he could melt them all and bury them with what used to be his lavabending. He is determined to get his bending back someday and get revenge, but for now he will take this loss and better himself. He will come up with a new plan with Magnum and they haven't seen the last of the two.
After Dawn:
With Davenport taken away, Magnus approaches Kyan.
Magnus: "Kyan? I know I made a huge mistake and regret everything about it. I know I don't deserve it, especially after using you, but maybe you'll give me a second chance, too?"
Kyan crosses her arms and looks at him.
Kyan: "You almost killed my father, hurt my mother, and nearly killed my sister! You want me to come crawling back to you!?"
Magnus: "I guess not."
Kyan saw how Kurai gave Magnus a second chance. She gives Magnus a hard punch to his arm.
Kyan: "That's for hurting my family and breaking my heart. However, you did come through and realize your mistakes and want to be better for good. If my sister says you deserve a second chance and has given it to you, than I will do the same."
Magnus rubs his arm, but looks at Kyan very surprised.
Magnus: "Really?"
Kyan smiles and nods. Magnus hugs Kyan and she hugs him back.
Magnus: "Thank you."
Kyan: "Anytime."
Kurai smiles. Kesuk comes over to Magnus and gets in his face.
Kesuk: "If you ever hurt any of my sisters again, I'll take every last breath out of you! understood!?"
Magnus: "Yes, understood."
Kesuk: "Good! I'm keeping my eyes on you!"
Merizo walks over and puts his hand on Magnus' shoulder.
Merizo: "I'm proud of you, Magnus, and I know your mother and sister would be too. I promise to help care for you, your sister, and your mother."
Magnus smiles.
Magnus: "Thank you."
Merizo smiles.
Curious about what will happen to him now, Alak speaks up.
Alak: "What's my fate now? Can I go back to teaching? The students need their professor."
Kurai: "Well, I guess we can give you a second chance, Professor Alak."
Kyan, Kesuk, and Kun nod, smile, and agree with Kurai. Alak smiles, and smiles even more when she calls him Professor Alak.
Magnus: "Thank you Avatar. This means a lot to me. You have given me another chance to redeem myself, realize how blind I was. I was a fool because of my father."
Kurai: "Hey, as far as I know, standing up on your father like that was redeeming yourself. I promise to talk this time and I look forward to finishing your class."
Alak smiles once more.
Alak: "Yes, you are right, my student. I have stood up to the menace that is my father. I have a lot more redeeming to do and I'd like to ask for your help in doing this in class. My students need to know that I was in the wrong." He smiles. "I would like that, if you participated."
Kurai: "I promise I will and I'll start by telling the class that you changed and you know what you did wasn't right. I think they will see and forgive you."
Alak: "I appreciate that Kurai, I really do. With your help, I'm sure they will understand."
Kurai: "It's the least I could do."
Alak still smiles and turns to Kesuk.
Alak: "I need to apologize you too, Kesuk, as well as your mother."
Kesuk: "Hey if my Avatar twin sister says it's all good, then I forgive you too professor."
Alak: "Thank you, the both of you."
Kurai and Kesuk: "You're welcome."
Alak now turns to Kyan.
Alak: "You were a great student, Kyan, just like Magnus. Based on what you guys showed me in class, I can see a connection there."
Kyan: "Thank you, Professor."
Magnus: "I'm sorry about everything, professor."
Alak: "It is okay, Magnus, I'm sorry for everything too."
Alak finally turns to Aria.
Alak: "I have disrespected you a lot. I would like to start off by apologizing to you and for treating you that way in my classroom. I have a terrible history with firebenders. You didn't deserve that, and you're a great mother to these children."
The kids back away knowing Aria's not going to take Alak's apology quickly. Aria grabs Alak.
Aria: "Don't expect me to forgive you just like that. You seriously injured me, before you changed your mind, you were an accessory and you were going to kill my daughter and me."
Kurai: "Mom, he's changed."
Alak: "It's okay, Kurai. I understand your mother's anger. However, don't you worry, I will stay away from them outside our professional environment. I'll it to you though, you'll see that I'm a changed person. There's a parent-teacher conference coming up in two months, I'll prove it to you then."
Aria nods and let's go of him.
Aria: "Alright, fine."
Alak: "I am very happy to see everyone safe now and overall okay. Again I am sorry for the mess I helped to create. If there is anything I can ever do, don't hesitate to ask."
Aria nods. Alak says goodbye and moves on. Zeng and Aria hug their daughter.
Zeng: "I am so proud of you, Kurai."
Aria: "We couldn't be more proud of you, sweetheart."
Kyan, Kesuk, and Kun come over and also hug Kurai. Kurai smiles and hugs her parents, siblings, and cousin.
Zeng: "Come on, let's go home."
They all agree and head home. As they head home, Kurai is exhausted and can't wait to go back to sleep. Meanwhile, all over the city, people wake up and begin their day. Though the fight is over, dawn will continue to rise, bringing a new day, a new start, and a new challenge.

While it's not hard to buy replacement parts for Subaru vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the absolute best are required to repair your automobile. Auto enthusiasts appreciate the a variety of optional equipment built into each Subaru, and know that only top quality repair Outback parts will suffice when your car or truck needs fixing. You purchased your Outback because its versatility and a fun driving experience agreed with your nature; so why would you be okay with anything but the best when it comes to superior quality auto parts? When your Subaru Outback was born, it was destined for a driver who wants a fun driving experience in their automobile.
One of the modern conveniences we have grown accustomed to is the ability to vary the speeds of your HVAC blower.. The small device that allows your heater to project air at different speeds is your heater blower resistor. Directly connected to your blower switch, your Subaru Outback blower motor resistor adds varying amounts of resistance to the circuit that controls the blower motor. When the Subaru Outback heater switch is set to "Max", there is less resistance in the circuit so more amps go to the blower. And when you switch to low, the heater blower motor resistor raises resistance so that less amperage reaches the blower motor.
Trust in the value of the parts you get from carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members available with enough expertise to help you select the appropriate Subaru Outback part for your needs. When your Subaru needs a new replacement Blower Motor Regulator Resistor, there's no need to go somewhere besides the authority, Car Parts Discount. Subaru Outback Blower Motor Regulator Resistor parts for 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000 vehicles are available here... just click your year to find them.

SD Flash Overcame 3 Goal Second Half Defecit In Valiant Effort To Remain Undefeated
The SD Flash came back from a 3-0 defecit to pull level but ultimately came up short with a 4-3 loss to the Santa Clarita Storm. The Flash finished the season as Conference Champions and will host its first round of NPSL finals against the Sonoma Sol
The Flash locked up the West-South Conference Championship a number of weeks ago and now head into the 1st round playoff match of vs. Sonoma Sol (7 - 4 - 3) with home field advantage. The match is scheduled for Saturday July 14 at Del Norte High School near Poway (7pm kick-off).
The Flash is seeking to create history by winning the National Championship in front of its home fans. The National Premier Soccer League Championships (NPSL) will be hosted by the Flash right here in San Diego from July 27 - 29. The winner from each of the four Conferences (of the 49 teams nationwide) will then compete in a 'Final Four' style, 3 day event to determine the 2012 NPSL Champion.
The Western Conference Playoff format will pit the #1 placed SD Flash of the South vs the #2 placed Sonoma Sol of the North. In the other Semi-Final, #1 of the North; Bay Area Ambassadors (9 - 4 - 1) will face off against #2 of the South; FC Santa Clarita Storm.
Match Recap
As with most teams all season, the Storm came out firing against the Flash early but were playing with the added incentive of a finals spot should the win. This strategy paid dividends with Santa Clarita able to net goals in the 28th and 37th minutes and a 2:0 lead into halftime. In the second half, it looked to be more of the same as the Storm added another goal just 5 minutes later (50th minute).
But the Flash have shown a never say die attitude this season and three minutes after the Santa Clarita goal, a foul in the area resulted in a penalty for the boys in yellow. Sergio Valle-Ortiz, who has in recent days been rumored to be joining Eric Wynalda and his Atlanta Silverbacks of the NASL, stepped up and nailed the PK in the back of the net.
The goal seemed to wake up the SD Flash but they couldn't find a second breakthrough. With time winding down and with only 15 minutes left on the clock, even the most optimistic of fans would say that being 3:1 down at this point would seem like a mountain too high. But when Jon Sawyer netted in the 74th minute the comeback was back on. Then in the 88th minute, it was fitting that the best player on the field, Valle-Ortiz, was able to tie the match at 3 - 3 in what was a thrilling comeback.
But that fairytale ending to the season was not to be, especially with the desperation of a side battling for their playoff lives riding on the back of a vocal home crowd. And if there couldn't be any more drama in a game that people will be talking about for a long time, a Storm player popped up in the 90th minute, to secure the win, their finals spot and an end to the prospect of an undefeated season.
Flash Head Coach, Warren Barton, commended his players on their comeback. "We had all the reasons in the world to give up today; being down 3 goals in the second half, being on the road, knowing we already clinched our playoff berth. I've told our guys all season that winning is a habit and they have bought in to that mentality. I'm proud of their performance today, regardless of the scoreboard. Next week, we will be ready for our playoff run and will be looking to bring a National Championship to San Diego."
The NPSL Western Conference Playoffs start this weekend when the Flash hosts the Sonoma Sol on Saturday July 14. Kick-off is at 7pm at Del Norte High School, 16601 Nighthawk Lane, San Diego, CA, 92127. Fans can purchase discount tickets online and receive a 20% off face value if booked by Friday at www.SanDiegoFlashSoccer.com

Sorry the update was so long but i was busy, but im not anymore so updates will be coming regularly....
I woke up the next morning with a major boner and i had to release it. I cAlled up my girlfriend from my old town and she didnt answer the phone. I was so mad. I got out my bed and went to my bathroom.
I turned on the shower and stepped in. My boner was still raging hard and i just had to cum. I started jacking off and the showerr and out of nowhere the image of the two twin boys next door came into my head. The one on his knees sucking up his brother. I started to jack off faster and faster and before you knew it i blew cum all over the showerr. I must have been moaning loud because my mom banged on the bathroom door and SCREAMED
I said
"Okay mom."
I took a shower and hurried and dried off. I walked into my room and jumped on my bed naked and said
"What the fuck came over me? Why would i jack off to that?"
I slid on some black briefs and some grey sweatpants and walked into the kitchen my mom was cooking some breakfast.
I said
"Mom what you cooking?"
She turned around and said
"Boy put on a shirt! And im cooking me breakfast i have to work a 24 hour shift at the hospital and im leaving in ten minutes."
I pounced down on the couch and said
"so what do i supposed to do all day?"
She shrugged her shoulders and said
"Go hang out with the young boys next door."
I said
"Mom im not friendly but the oldest boy seem cool just maybe."
**2 hours later**
I had done fell asleep on the couch and i got up and my mom was gone.
I stood up and strecthed and my dick was back hard. I was going to my room when i heard a knock at the door. I went over to the door and opened it. It was kevin the one i smoked with yesterday.
He said
"Wassup dennis? I wanted to know do you wanna come over to my house and smoke a joint in my room."
I contemplated did i want to go over there with his little brothers present. They have seen my ass, they have seen me watching them suck each others dicks and all. But i looked at the joint in kevin hand and said
I closed my door and followed him over to his house. I noticed he had on some tight ass jeans that was hugging his ass and the shirt he had on was way too small and you can see his abs and stuff right throught the shirt. And his ass was so plump and nice. I hit myself and the head and said to myself "dennis you are straight , you like pussy and girl asses."
When we got to his porch he looked back and started laughing. I said
"Kevin whats funny?"
He said
"Umm that boner of yours."
I looked down and saw my 8 inch dick pitching a major tent in my sweatpants. To play it off i just laughed and said
"I havent had pussy in a couple of days man, dont judge me."
He winked and said
"I will never do that."
I was confused at what he meant by that. We walked in the house and went upstairs. As we walk upstairs his brothers Javon and Jason passed by us going downstairs. I felt a hand graze my ass and i looked back at them and they where just laughing. I speed walked up the last stairs and followed Kevin into his room.
To my surprise his room and clean and neat and in order.
He bent over by his dresser and my mouth watered as his ass began to pop
Out of those little skimpy jeans. He threw the lighter at me and said
"Light it up."
We started smoking and he said
"Bro, my girl broke up with me last night. We had a big ass arguement and everything."
I passed the joint to him and said
" thats fucked up man and my girlfriend hasnt been answering my calls i think its over too."
He puffed and said
"Thats to bad for you because i see you cant last for long without getting laid because that big black dick springs up a boner every few seconds."
Did i just hear what he said?Maybe we high and im hearing things. Did he just call my dick big?
I stuttered and sAid
"Hell yea i need pussy daily. Where the girls at around here?"
Kevin stood up and looked into my eyes and said
"They are far from here, my buddy. So come close with your hands because you are going to need them."
I laughed and said
"Word but where is your father at?"
Kevin laid back down on his bed and said
"At work til 11 tonight, thats why i invited you over to smoke."
He motioned me to come and sit on his bed. I got up from the computer chair
And walked over and sat down. And said
He asked
"Why dont you have on a shirt?"
I replied
"Well when i got out the shower i put this on."
He said
"Oh because i thought you was trying to show off that banging body and all those abs."
I snapped
"What the fuck dude ? Why you keep complimenting me on my body and my dick and shit? Are you bisexual?"
Kevin sat up in the bed and said
"What the fuck ? You are tripping, im
Just telling you the facts."
I stood up and said
"Thanks for the smoke im out."
I started to walk towards his door but then he jumped up and said
"Dennis why cant i compliment you on your body and dick?"
I turned to him and leaned on the door and said
"Because you are not a girl."
I looked down at him. I was taller then kevin by a few inches. And buffer than him. But those gray eyes just stared at me and he strolled up to me. And before i knew it he was standing right in front of me.
He said
"Dennis i know im a boy but your dick doesnt seem to mind my compliments."
I look down and there my dick was hard as a rock. Just as i was about to respond , kevin hand dug deep into my sweatpants and briefs and was holding my dick tight.
He smiled at me and said
"Its so thick just like i expected it to be."
All the fibers in my body wanted to punch the kid. But my horny side was just happy to have some playtime.i grabbed his arm to remove it from My pants and he shook his head "no" and i let go. How can this guy way littler than me can be powering over me.
All of a sudden he went to jerking me off, i said
"Oh my god stopp man what are you doing?"
Kevin smiled at me and said
"Helping out a friend in need."
I walked over to his bed and laid down. I pulled off my sweatpants and briefs and my brown monster cock stood there standing strong.
Kevin grabbed it and i moaned. His touched just sent me over the edge.
He resumed jacking me off and then he whispered
"Dennis can i suck it?"
And when those words prieced my ears thats when i knew i was making a big mistake this is not me and this is not right.
I got up and pushed passed him and slid up my pants and ran out his room and went home. I went inside my room and laid down and screamed
I needed another joint. I went into my dresser and grabbed one and opened my room window so that the smell want be in my house. As i smoked i looked into javon and jason room and i saw their room door open and it was Kevin completely naked. I was in aw because for a latino boy his dick was huge and his body was amazing.
All of a sudden i saw jason and javon dropped to their knees and starts sucking on their older brother dick and balls. I was amazed and disgusted . And thats when it set in for me.
I closed my window and put the joint out and laid down. I looked down and saw my dick hard once again and i knew why but i was going to deny that was the reason. Seeing kevin to brothers worship at his cock was sexy ass shit to me. I pulled down my pants and jerked off and nutted fast. I frowned and said
"WhAt is that family next door doing to me?"
Comment what yall think of chapter 2, chapter 3 soon
