Jerusalem – The fears expressed by experts that the United States' withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal will prove to be the trigger for the Third World War, seem to have turned into reality. Within hours of this decision, Iran launched about 20 missile and rocket attacks from Syria, on the Golan border in Israel. Israel has alleged the Quds force deployed in Syria to be behind the attacks. Agitated by this attack, Israel fired 60 missiles on the Iranian bases in Syria from 28 fighter planes. Israeli Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman said that 24 Iranian soldiers have been killed in the attack and the Iranian military structures in Syria have been completely destroyed.
Movements of the Iranian military forces had increased following the United States' decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal. Taking a serious note of the developments, Israel had increased the military deployment and its readiness at the Golan border and had kept the bomb shelters ready. As expected, Iran went ahead and launched missiles and rockets targeting the military posts in the Golan border region. Spokesman of the 'Israel Defense Forces' Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Conricus said that the attacks started Wednesday evening. Conricus further said that these attacks were carried out under the orders of General Qasem Soleimani, the commander of the Iranian Quds Force deployed in Syria.
Some of the Iranian missiles and rockets were destroyed by the Israeli defense system. Some landed in the vicinity of the army posts but failed to cause any major damage, claimed the spokesperson of the 'Israeli Defence Forces'. This happens to be Iran's first attack on Israel. In retaliation of the attack, Israel dispatched its F-15 and F-16 jets into Syria and carried out attacks on the Iranian bases.
These raids by the Israeli fighter jets continued for about two hours. 28 fighter planes were involved in the attacks, launching more than 60 missiles which completely destroyed the Iranian infrastructure in Syria. Two major military bases near the Syrian capital of Damascus were mainly targeted. During the air attacks, the Israeli military also launched more than 10 missiles into Syria. Israeli Defence Minister Lieberman claimed these attacks to be completely successful.
The Israeli Defence Minister stated his country's stance in very strong words and said, 'If we get rain, they will get a flood.' He further said that the entire Iranian defence infrastructure has been destroyed in these attacks. However, he further added that this matter is closed for now and hoped that everyone involved would have learnt a lessons from it.
However, 'Israel defence Forces' spokesman warned that the matter is not over as yet and indicated that a series of such attacks will continue in future. Conricus also said that Iran will take a long time to recover from this.
The Syrian news channels claimed that more than 50% of the missiles launched by Israel were destroyed by the Syrian defence systems. The Russian news channels have supported this claim. At the same time, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has demanded that there should be a dialogue between Israel and Iran.
Iran has refuted Israel's claim saying, 'There are no Iranian bases and soldiers in Syria'. The second-in-chief of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, General Hossein Salami has said that there have been no attacks on Israel from the Syrian soil. Salami said that if Iran would have carried out the attacks there would have been an official announcement about it.
'The enemy is not prepared to enter into a direct conflict with Iran. They are trying to impose economic sanctions to try and weaken Iran. At such a time, Iran does not have the option of political negotiations. Conflict is the only option.' said General Salami.

TALLAHASSEE --- House and Senate budget committees on Wednesday approved spending bills that are only $100 million apart in the overall totals, signaling that negotiations on the annual state budget may not be as contentious this year.
"I think we're in great shape," Senate Appropriations Chairman Rob Bradley, R-Fleming Island, said after his committee unanimously passed the $87.3 billion Senate budget bill (SB 2500). "The overall numbers are very similar."
The House Appropriations Committee in a 17-8 vote approved an $87.2 billion spending plan (HB 5001) for the 2018-2019 fiscal year, which begins July 1.
House Appropriations Chairman Carlos Trujillo, R-Miami, said although the bill is substantially larger than the current budget of less than $84 billion, much of the increase was driven by state spending on hurricane recovery, funding for approximately 30,000 new public-school students and increases in Floridians using Medicaid, the state-federal health care program for the poor and disabled.
"I think it's a healthy growth that meets the needs of our citizens," Trujillo said.
The bills now go to the full House and Senate for approval. House and Senate leaders then will be poised to negotiate a final spending plan.
While the overall numbers in their proposals are similar, the House and Senate have major differences in several key policy areas.
Bradley said the Senate bill has more funding in higher education, which has been a priority for Senate President Joe Negron, R-Stuart. Meanwhile, the House has more money in the new "schools for hope" program, which could expand the use of charter schools, and other school-choice programs, a priority for House Speaker Richard Corcoran, R-Land O' Lakes.
"I think that there is room for the two sides to come together on their respective priorities," Bradley said. "I feel very good about where we are."
The higher-education differences were underscored Wednesday when the House committee voted to transfer $121 million to the state college system from university programs targeted at hiring more top-level professors and providing awards to top-performing graduate schools, which were programs initiated by Negron. The move came on top of a budget proposal that already cut more than $200 million in operational funds for the universities.
Trujillo said while state colleges have faced recent cuts, the universities' budget "has grown probably a little bit more than it should have."
"I think we're just trying to re-shift our focus going into conference (negotiations with the Senate)," he said.
The budgets are relatively close in public school funding, with the House supporting a $100 per-student increase in spending, while the Senate bill has a $110 increase.
However, the two chambers differ on school construction and maintenance money, with the House backing $120 million for charter schools and the Senate at $25 million. The Senate would provide $75 million for public school maintenance, while the House has $50 million.
The House and Senate are also close on the total amount of spending on health care and social services, each earmarking more than $37 billion.
But the chambers have some significant differences, including changes to how the state pays hospitals for providing care to poor, elderly and disabled people who rely on Medicaid.
Senate Health & Human Services Appropriations Chairwoman Anitere Flores, R-Miami, has proposed redirecting $318 million in payments that currently go to 28 hospitals with large amounts of Medicaid patients and using the money to increase the base rate paid to all hospitals.
Tony Carvalho, president of the Safety Net Hospital Alliance of Florida, said hospitals on average are reimbursed 60 cents for every dollar they spend treating Medicaid patients. Last year, hospitals lost $1.6 billion treating Medicaid patients, an amount that exceeded the $1.5 billion in charity care the facilities provided, he said.
"I think we are at the precipice of a crisis on hospital funding in Medicaid," Carvalho said, adding that hospitals have a limited ability to cost shift the losses to commercial insurers or others to try to make up for the shortfall.
He said three hospitals, UF Health Shands in Gainesville, Jackson Memorial in Miami and Tampa General, would take a $100 million hit under the Senate plan while the for-profit hospital company HCA would experience a windfall.
But the Senate panel questioned whether the hospitals were really losing money. Sen. Dennis Baxley, R-Ocala, asked Carvalho about the hospitals' profits, something Carvalho couldn't answer.
Bradley asked Carvalho to produce the revenue and expenditures at the facilities for the past five years, after Carvalho said the hospitals employ tens of thousands of people and inferred jobs could be at risk if the Senate plan passed.
"I think that's a fair request," Bradley said.
Another major difference in the budgets is a House plan to transfer $182 million in housing program funds for state and local governments to other areas in the budget. The Senate budget does not contain the housing fund "sweeps."
House Speaker Richard Corcoran, R-Land O' Lakes, said the decision was based on other priorities in the budget including funding for law enforcement and education. He predicted that some of the housing funds might be restored in the upcoming budget negotiations with the Senate.
"I would anticipate that we would do that again this year," he told reporters.

descriptionFrom the critically acclaimed director, Hideo Kojima, a new 3D experience re-imagined from one of the most popular Metal Gear Solid titles from the past, comes Metal Gear Solid 3D Snake Eater.In the aftermath of the Second World War, the world was torn in two between East and West. It was the beginning of a new era- the Cold War.October 16, 1962. The President of the United States received word that the Soviet Union had deployed nuclear missiles in Cuba. The world trembled in fear as the prospect of nuclear war loomed ever closer.After days of tense negotiations, the Soviets finally agreed on the 28thto withdraw their missiles from Cuban soil. With the resolution of this incident, later to be known as the Cuban Missile Crisis, it seemed that humanity had survived yet another threat to its existence.However, there was a secret condition in the deal that put an end to the crisis. Nokolai Stepanovich Sokolov, a Soviet scientist who had defected to the West, was to be sent back to the Soviet Union. The U.S. government agreed to this stipulation, and returned Sokolov back to his native land. Little did they know that Sokolov was to be the designer of a nightmarish weapon. Now, with Sokolov back in their hands, the Soviets are ready to resume its development. If this weapon is completed, it will mark the beginning of a new age of fear.August 1964. Realizing at last the urgency of the situation, the CIA forms a plan to recapture Sokolov. They dispatch the covert FOX unit to Sokolov's research facility, located to the south of the great Soviet fortress of Groznyj Grad. Led by former SAS member Major Zero, FOX is a next-generation special-forces unit that operates both as a specialized combat group and as a covert intelligence outfit. The FOX unit's modus operandi is to send a single agent, backed by radio support from afar, into enemy territory to carry out solo sneaking missions.August 24. A lone soldier swoops down from out of the blue. The man's code name is Naked Snake.

Didn't expect this to be good...
...but it works surprisingly well. Especially if you have a CPP. Recommended if you have no other way to experience MGS.

The time has come! Josh Trank's Fantastic Four is finally making its way into theaters and in honor of the big debut, I got the chance to sit down with Miles Teller, Jamie Bell, Kate Mara and Michael B. Jordan for a round of "Would You Rather." They lead the film as Reed Richards, Ben Grimm, Sue Storm and Johnny Storm respectively. When Reed's high school science fair project catches Dr. Franklin Storm's (Reg E. Cathey) eye, he's whisked off to the Baxter Institute to help build a device with the capability of teleporting users to another dimension. When the foursome puts the technology to use, they wind up acquiring incredible abilities that change their lives forever.
You can watch Teller, Bell, Mara and Jordan choose between motion capture and prosthetics, gaining weight or losing weight for a role, getting to do as many takes as they'd like or having to nail it in one and so much more in the video interview below. I've also got a one-on-one chat with Toby Kebbell coming your way soon, too. Fantastic Four hits theaters nationwide on August 7th.
Here's the official synopsis for Fantastic Four:
FANTASTIC FOUR, a contemporary re-imagining of Marvel's original and longest-running superhero team, centers on four young outsiders who teleport to an alternate and dangerous universe, which alters their physical form in shocking ways. Their lives irrevocably upended, the team must learn to harness their daunting new abilities and work together to save Earth from a former friend turned enemy.
Here are the previous editions of "Would You Rather:"
- Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation: Simon Pegg and Rebecca Ferguson
- Pixels: Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Michelle Monaghan, Peter Dinklage, Josh Gad and Chris Columbus
- Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials: Dylan O'Brien, Ki Hong Lee, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Giancarlo Esposito and Rosa Salazar
- Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Matt Smith, Lily James and Jack Huston

Spring is all about making time to welcome the new… flowers are blooming, birds are chirping and it's a new beginning. Before all of the new, we must first clean all of the old. Spring cleaning my flat? Nah, that's not exciting. A Beauty Spring Clean though? I can get behind that…
Out with the old to make room for the new
Switch things up
Now is the time to dig out the lighter formulas and fresher skincare. Maybe push back the heavier foundations and switch in some tinted moisturisers and lots of SPF. Any makeup switches you might want to do… now is the time to do them! I like to look through any makeup and skincare and add neglected products back into the mix to make sure they get used as much as possible.
In terms of adding new things to the mix, maybe grab a new bottle of SPF (it does go off fairly quickly!) to make sure skin is protected; add in some brighter pops of colours; add in a new exfoliator and maybe switch to a smudge-proof mascara.
Have a big clear out
This is one of those tasks where it sounds like a good idea at the time… An hour in and I always regret it. Tidying and sorting just takes so much time! Taking the time to go through your stash and work out what you really want to keep is very Marie Kondo, and very good for the soul! Check the expiration dates on products and chuck anything you've held onto for too long…
Any lightly used products can definitely be given to friends and family (I have just done this and separated everything into neat little bundles for various people!). Giving unused products to a good home is the best way to make more space.
For anything unopened you might not have gotten round to using yet, there's Beauty Banks. It's like a food bank for those in need, with toiletries and beauty essentials. If you're a blogger reading this, I'm sure you have some unopened products lying around! All the details for what they're accepting and where to donate products can be found here.
Time for a deep clean
Cleaning is another one of those things I never want to do before I do it, but then once it's done it makes me feel so much happier. My dressing table has glass on it, so it gets wiped a lot (no time for foundation finger prints!) but a spring clean is the perfect time to give everything a really thorough clean.
Also in need of a spring clean are makeup brushes! One of the worst chores for any beauty-lover, but things are looking a lot brighter with the stylPro. It's essentially a super sonic way of cleaning your brushes; it does each brush in under a minute and they're dry right away. I know, it's magic. A little bit fiddly, but a gadget worth getting to grips with because it's drastically sped up the whole brush process.

Net Neutrality advocates have always said that if Net Neutrality was lost in America, it would soon be lost in the rest of the world too.
If a new claim by Canadaland is to be believed, then it's already under attack in Canada—before the Net Neutrality guidelines in the US have even been officially shot down.
Documents obtained by Canadaland purportedly show that Bell Media, one of the country's largest telecommunications companies, has submitted to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) a draft proposal that outlines a plan to destroy Net Neutrality in Canada.
Bell is apparently leading a coalition of companies intending to push the regulatory body to create a non-profit corporation to create and keep a list of websites found to be pushing pirated materials. All internet providers in the country would then, according to the proposal, be forced to block access to these websites. The corporation would be called the Internet Piracy Review Agency (IPRA).
Giving such a corporation the power to block websites sets a dangerous precedent. The CRTC does currently have this power, but it uses it rarely, and won't even block a website if it is found to be breaking copyright laws.
This proposal would make site-blocking a more common occurrence—and would allow it to happen without any legal oversight. While the blocked sites would then be able to appeal against the block, the damage would already have been done.
Privacy expert Michael Geist had this to say about the proposal:
It's enormously problematic, I think it's legally questionable, and I think it's terrible policy.
This is a dramatic shift. This is a prospect of significant internet regulation being done by the CRTC and without any court oversight. The only court oversight [would come] after a site has been blocked.
While this might not seem like an immediate challenge to Net Neutrality, it would in fact be the start of a very slippy slope. According to Geist:
If you make the argument that you're in a position to block for these purposes, it seems pretty obvious that we're going to see other groups say that you ought to be blocking for other purposes.
And from here, of course, we all know where this is likely to go.
The completed application is set to be finalized and filed to the CRTC on December 19th. We'll be keeping our eyes on this situation, as should you.
As proud Canadians, it hurts to see this happening. Let's stop it before it start.

A couple of years ago, I spent the money for a subscription to Ars Technica, because I really liked their Anonymous/HBGary reporting, and wanted the full RSS feeds. Along with that, every now and then they'll send out a message about a coupon or special offer, which is how I ended up with a free account on App.net, the for-pay Twitter clone. Then I forgot about it, because the last thing I need is a way to find more people that annoy me.
And then someone linked me to this blog post, which made my week. It's a pitch for App.net in the most overwrought, let-them-eat-cake way. I'm going to excerpt a bit, but you should click through: it's better when you can just soak up the majesty of the whole thing:
The difference between a public and a private golf course is so profound that it's hard to play a public course after being a member of a private course. It's like flying coach your entire life, and then getting a first class seat on Asiana — it's damned hard to go back.
That's the difference between Twitter and App.net to me. Twitter is the public golf course, the coach seat. It's where everyone is, and that's exactly the problem. App.net is where a few people that are invested in the product, its direction, and the overall health of the service, go to socialize online.
[paragraph of awkward self-promotion removed]
Welcome to the first-class Twitter experience.
I actually don't know if I could write a parody of upper-class snobbery that good. If you hold your hand up the screen, you can almost feel the warmth of his self-regard--but not too close! They don't let just anyone into this country club, you know.
Seriously, though: while I've amused myself endlessly trying to come up with even-less-relatable metaphors for things ("Twitter is the black truffle, as opposed to the finer white truffles I eat at my summer home in Tuscany"), one random doofus with a blog is not cause for comment. Silly as it is, that post made me reconsider they way I look at internet advertising and ownership--if only to avoid agreeing with him.
In general, I'm not a big fan of advertising or ad-supported services. On Android, I usually buy apps instead of using the free versions, and I believe that people should own their content on the Internet. But let's be realistic: most people will not pay for their own server or software, and many people can't--whether because they don't have the money, or because they don't have access to the infrastructure (bank account, credit card, etc.) that's required. Owning your stuff on the internet is both a privilege and a visible signifier of that privilege.
This creates heirarchies between users, and even non-savvy people pick up on that. When Instagram finally decided to release an Android client, the moaning from a number of users about "those people" invading their clean, tasteful, iPhone-only service was a sight to behold. The irony of Instagram snobbery is that the company was only valuable because of its huge audience. It only got that userbase because it was free. Therein lies the catch-22 of these kinds of services: the scale that makes them useful and valuable also makes them profoundly expensive to run. Subscription-based or self-hosted business models are more sustainable, but they're never going to get as big.
Meanwhile, the technical people who think they could do something about these problems--"a few people that are invested in the product, its direction, and the overall health of the service"--are off building their own special first-class seating. Not that I think they'll make it, personally--it's a perpetual tragedy that the people threatening to Go Galt never do, since that would require them to stop bothering the rest of us.
I often see people expressing distaste for ad-supported sites with the oft-quoted line "you're not the customer, you're the product." That's nice when you have the option of paying for your own e-mail, and running your own blog, in the same way that minimalism looks awfully nice when you have the credit rating to afford it. People without money have to live with clutter. If we're interested in an internet that offers opportunity to everyone, we have to accept a more forgiving view of ad-supported business, and focus on how to make it safer for people who have no other option. Otherwise we're just congratulating each other on getting into the country club.

Memories from recent travels to Russia
Harriet Werfel Edwards
Leaves fall
slashes of brilliant crimson, orange, brown, come to rest
Branches silhouette the sky
Sunshine highlights still clinging leaves.
"There used to be a synagogue in this town," our local Russian guide cheerily informs us.
Nothing more is said. No one asks the question.
Jews lived in this town once. The Jews are gone.
"More than three million Jews from the USSR
were murdered during World War Two"
our young group leader tells us.
Nothing more is said. No one asks any questions.
Jews once lived in this vast country, millions of Jews.
They were destroyed.
The Pale of Settlement has been resettled.
Unmentioned pogroms. Forgotten Jews
And so we must give voice
To remember those whose synagogues became relics
whose communities were obliterated.
We give voice to those who have no descendants to mourn their loss
They became nameless, faceless.
We give voice to mourn the lost millions, to educate our young.
We cannot sit silently as evil and destruction take hold.
I need to ask questions, to raise my voice, to make a difference.

| 8.6°C Dublin
Shares in British retailer Marks & Spencer (M&S) recovered strongly from an early morning dip yesterday to close up almost 4.5pc after it beat market expectations during the second quarter with like-for-like sales in the UK up 5.3pc.
M&S chief executive Marc Bolland said that customers are "returning to quality", but the chain noted that trading conditions in Ireland and Greece remain difficult.
Group sales were 6.5pc higher during the period, with like-for-like food sales in the UK up 3.7pc. Mr Bolland said an M&S advertising campaign that features Brazilian supermodel Ana Beatriz Barros helped to attract an extra 1.8 million shoppers through the retailer's outlets. He added that M&S has sold three million meal deals for £10 (€11.40) each in the UK within the past five weeks.
M&S, however, told investors that trading conditions are likely to become more challenging.
"Consumers' disposable incomes will come under greater pressure from increased VAT rates and public spending cuts," said a trading statement from the group.

QxBranch publishes the world's first US Presidential election forecast generated by a quantum computer in special issue of the Journal of the Physical Society of Japan. QxBranch Senior Data Scientist, Max Henderson, and Systems Engineer, Tristan Cook, along with former QxBranch Senior Data Scientist, John Novak, were published on March 1. The paper, "Leveraging Quantum Annealing for Election Forecasting," demonstrates the potential of using quantum computers to generate election forecasts during the upcoming 2020 US presidential election.
After observing many high-profile election forecasts assign the highest probability of success to the Clinton campaign in the 2016 US presidential election, the QxBranch team identified a major issue present in most models – the absence of correlations between states. That is, the likelihood that the result in one state would also be replicated in another state. For example, if Pennsylvania is forecasted to vote in a certain probability, what is the likelihood Ohio will also vote the same way? The reason for this omission in the modelling is understandable: simulating a highly correlated system using classical computers is computationally challenging as the system size increases. However, this presents an ideal opportunity to leverage quantum computing.
"The advantage of mapping the 2016 election onto a quantum computer is that the quantum computer is itself an intrinsically correlated system. By modelling forecast outcomes for each state and the correlations between those states on a quantum computer, our results ended up being a closer match to the to the final results than many other models," explains Henderson.
By testing historical election and polling data on quantum training models, the QxBranch team as able to generate 2016 election forecasts similar to other professional forecasters, but with final outcomes that gave the Trump campaign a higher likelihood of victory. Adding to the performance of the quantum model was more efficient sampling and the inclusion of additional error models and intrinsic, tunable state correlations.
Quantum computers are opening up a range of opportunities to provide alternative, novel solutions to computationally difficult problems, and forecasting elections is just one way in which quantum computing could help shape our decision making.

Wait, Child
Christians are the real X-Men
Super hero comic books and movies abound these days. One such famous comic is called the X-Men.
According to the comics, the X-Men are people with special abilities and powers. They were humans with a genetic trait called an X-gene, resulting in mutation and allowing them to develop super human powers. Before they became X-Men, they were ordinary people. But after, they became new people and received special powers. In a sense, they are now "ex-men", because they are no longer the old people they used to be.
Paul says something similar about us. He wrote:
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new" (2 Corinthians 5:17, NKJV).
Christians are like X-Men
When you became a Christian, you became a new creation, new person. You are no longer the old person you used to be. You…

Road to Recovery
The road to recovery is long
Still somewhere in between
Trying to make sense of life
The past still lingers around
A shadow of doubt settles in
Your eyes wanting answers
Wishing to move on freely
Put one step forward at a time
These lingering thoughts will
Fade slowly like background
Noise that you will learn to
Accept as you move towards
The future with doubtful hope
Listen to that calling and learn
To believe in it no matter how
Difficult it may seem as the
Road was never meant to be
Easy so be brave knowing
The demon calls you back in
The dark place and you may
Stumble and fall but as long
As you don't turn back and let
Go of hope, peace will find you
Hold on to that glimmer you saw
In yourself for it holds answers
You search for in the darkness
The Devil Is Very Real
Evening Meditation | 8 May 2015
Don't Stop Now!
This is a message for those who are on the verge of giving up in the things God has called them to do for Him. Just because your progress isn't obvious doesn't mean your faith isn't working. Don't stop now. He who began a great work in you and through you will bring it to completion in His timing. The world needs what God has placed inside of you! Your obedience to not stop or give up in the things of God will change someone else's life.
Are you a person who has lost their passion? Cry out to God to restore the passion that you lost and He will answer every single time. Are you a person who is on the verge of giving up on God's mission? Tell God how you feel and He will direct your steps.
Sometimes we go through the darkest times right before the brightest light we have ever seen. In spite of what you are feeling or…

So far so good on my new BR series coilovers. The install shop I used stated that they were very impressed with the construction of the coilovers given the reasonable price.
The coil overs are noise free, and feel like they reduce nose drive on breaking and I hook better under hard acceleration.
Great product and the company provided very helpful support prior to purchase.
My car looks awesome at the resent car show glad I purchase a set

Among the dogs abandoned by pet owners here are alaskan and siberian huskies.
Huskies originally hailed from places such as Alaska and north-eastern Siberia.
Considering the fact that they come from places where the weather is bitterly cold and dry, it is not hard to imagine that these dogs will find it extremely challenging to adapt to Singapore's hot and humid climate.
In the past, there have been incidents of huskies dying because of dehydration and severe thirst, as their owners failed to provide adequate water for them, especially when the dogs were left at home while the owners travelled overseas.
To prevent such catastrophes from happening, I strongly urge the authorities to ban the import of huskies into our country.
Dog owners must be equipped with the rudiments of dog behaviour before adopting them as pets.
They must be taught to ascertain which breeds are suitable for Singapore's environment.
Dogs are not toys, and we need to accord them with the kind of respect and love they richly deserve.
Catherine Tai Siew Leng (Ms)

I'm pacing my in my new office not believing the words I'm hearing. Never before, in all my years as a Starfleet officer have I had a request like this. "Chakotay, you are going to have to explain this from the beginning; I am quite confused," I say.
"Well, Kathryn, it's like this. You know that Seven and I have been dating," he began.
I try not to show any disappointment as I answer, "Yes."
"Well, I've been taking it slowly. I don't want to rush her on this ;it's her first relationship after all. And to tell the truth, I'm not sure how serious I want it to get," he said.
"Get to the point, Chakotay," I was sounding more than a little irate. I didn't need to hear a word by word account here.
"Okay, sorry. About a month ago, things got a little serious. I knew I didn't want to take that ... final step with her, at least not yet. But it did get a little heated none the less. She had her hand around my neck and we were... kissing," he looked a little embarrassed telling me this tale of his. "Seven was obviously getting turned on a bit."
I interrupted him, "Chakotay, I don't want to hear the details of what you did that night, please."
"Kathryn, to understand this you have to, I'm sorry," he said. "To put it plainly I decided on a little petting," he laughed at the word and then continued. "It didn't take much to... give her release. But as soon as I did I felt a blinding pain; I know I screamed and looked up at Seven. She looked horrified Kathryn, absolutely horrified."
I'm quite interested now; I sit a little closer to him, putting my hand on his knee, "What happened?"
"She punctured me with her assimilation tubules. Thank the spirits no nano probes came out, but it still hurt. Seven apologized over and over. I guess I don't have to tell you that completely ruined the mood," he said.
I'm trying hard not to laugh, but boy would I have loved to have been a fly on the wall for that one. "So, continue."
"I feel horrible saying it, but I just couldn't bring myself to get close to her again. I know it was an accident, but the idea of being with her again made me very jumpy. We broke it off shortly after that and are doing our best to remain friends," he said.
"Thats good. I think it would be worse if you avoided her, she still needs all the friends she can get." I was trying to be supportive.
"Now for the bottom line. She came to see me yesterday. It seems Seven is pregnant, and not to happy about it," he said as he looked me squarely in the eye.
"Did I miss something here? I thought you said that the two of you never " .
"The tubules, it seemed they had a nice abundance of my DNA on them when she retracted them back into her arm. And I dont think I have to explain to you the details of modern science to you. Just a little DNA, if put in the right place can create a little one," he said with a surprisingly sarcastic tone.
"But you have to put it there., Oh I'm not even going to ask. I suppose with the implants and all I could see how it could happen," I say. "So now what Chakotay?" All I can think about is a conversation I had with my sister when we were little where she asked me if one could get pregnant by kissing a boy. Again I have to work hard at surpressing my laughter.
"Now, Seven's body is slowly rejecting the fetus. She is perfectly fine with that; she doesn't want to be a mother. But for me, I don't know. I'm so torn here. I remember how I reacted when I first thought that Seska's baby was mine. I was horrified at the thought, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that it was just a baby. I don't want this baby to die." For the first time in a long time it looked as if Chakotay was going to cry.
I reach over and pull him into a hug, "I know, Chakotay, but sometimes there aren't choices in the matter."
"There is one choice," he said, pulling away from me. "The doctor said if a surrogate mother could be found the baby would stand a chance to live. Seven even gave me permission to try to find one, as long as once the baby has been removed, she doesn't have to be brought back into the picture."
It suddenly dawns on me just what he is asking. "You want me to be the surrogate?"
He suddenly rises from the couch, "I'm sorry, this was so stupid. I should have never even thought it."
"Chakotay, wait," I say before I even realize it. "How long do I have to decide?"
He turns back to me, looking a bit hopeful. "the doctor says the longer we wait, the less likely the baby will survive."
I feel a headache coming on, a big one, "Can you give me some time to think about this? At least a day?"
"Of course, maybe I should go now so you can think," he says.
"Yes, I'll get back to you tomorrow. Right now I think I need to go home and take a nice warm bath."
He says goodbye leaving me alone once again. "Kathryn, how do you manage to get yourself into situations like this?" I ask myself but thankfully I don't answer.
I arrive the next day at the hospital. I think I've made up my mind but I have a couple questions, mainly about the affect of carrying a former drone's baby? I'm sorry but I've had enough nano probes floating around in my system and now that they are gone, I don't want any more.
The doctor reassures me that the baby surprisingly has no nano probes, which, he believe is the main reason Seven's body is rejecting the fetus. The placenta is doing its job protecting the fetus from any invading force and that includes those feisty little buggers.
We discuss a few more of my questions and once my mind seems to be settled I get up to leave. I know the doctor is confused but I need to talk to Chakotay first before anyone else.
I don't have to look far, he's waiting outside of the office. "Can we go somewhere private?" I ask.
He nods and directs me out of the building. He leads me over to a bench within the gardens; no one is there. I sit and immediately begin to speak., "We have a few things to work out here, Chakotay. First of all, I will do it." He interrupts me with a hug, which I gladly return. I push him away I want to get all of this out, "I'm not really sure how this should go, so please hear me out. I am about to carry a baby for almost nine months and I'm not sure I could deal with handing that baby over and walking away when I'm done. Then again, I'm not sure I will want anything to do with this baby when it's all over."
"We'll work this out as we go along," he says.
"I know. I just wanted it clear that I think I might want to be a part of this child's life," I say.
I watch him struggle with his response. We had always tiptoed around this subject until we dropped it all together. Now here is something that will bring it up all over again. His smile reassures me. "I don't know where this will take us, but I know that having you in my life would be wonderful, in any capacity."
I smile at him and thought, 'nicely said Chakotay, completely around the subject of us. But thats ok, I'm not sure I want to bring it up at the present moment anyway. "Well then. Now that is said, I think I need to get back to the doctor. Two days of hormone injections and he thinks I should be ready."
"Do you mind if I come?" he asks.
I laugh, "It's just a hypospray, Chakotay, I'll be fine."
"Dinner tonight?" he asks.
"No, actually, the doctor said I may have some unusual side affects from the hormones. Nothing major, maybe some nausea or headaches, but I don't think I will be pleasant company." How do I tell him that I also just want to be alone, to give myself some time to come to terms with this decision I have made.
"All right, how about we meet back here in two days?" he responds.
I think he got the hint. We say our good byes and I watch him walk away. I head in a different direction. Before I get that hypo I think I need to have a talk with Seven. I need to be sure how she feels about this before I continue.
I sink down into my oversized tub, grateful for the warmth it brings. My body aches a little and my head hurts a lot. Between the talk with Seven and the extra hormones I'm not surprised at my body's reaction.
Seven was emotionless as she discussed the entire issue, talking about the baby as if it were just problem of humanity she had to overcome. The only bit of emotion I saw was when she briefly spoke of the "conception" and even there she was only sorry that she had injured Chakotay.
She was confused at Chakotay's attachment to this child, "it is not a baby yet" were her words. I was about to get into a debate with her on the subject when I decided it was a moot point. I simply said I wanted to know her feelings about what I was about to do.
She simply stated that once the transfer took place it was no longer her child and that what the commander and I chose to do was not anything she would be interested in.
I shake my head; she is so eager to learn and yet seems so unwilling in some areas. It makes me wonder what she and Chakotay's relationship was really like. Maybe someday I will ask him' maybe I will find out if there really is a different side to her.
The day arrives and I find myself nervous. The doctor has me lie on a biobed and orders me to remain completely still while he prepares for the transport. I look over at Seven lying on the adjacent biobed; she nods at me then looks away. I can't help but wonder if this is going to help or harm her and begin to once again have doubts. One look at Chakotay's smiling face and my doubts fly away.
I watch him attempt to comfort Seven who quickly tells him that she is fine and to let the doctor work. I can tell he's a bit uncomfortable, not knowing how he should act around her. Does he feel the same way I feel, as if we are betraying her in some way? I remind myself that the child would not survive if we didn't do this, and that she has consented on more than one occasion.
The doctor is finally ready and within moments I feel a slight pressure in my abdomen. At first it doesnt hurt but as the whir of the transporter dies down I can't help but cry out.
Chakotay is by my side right away, so is the doctor scanning me. "The pain should subside momentarily. You need to remain still as the fetus settles into your womb. Remember, you will not be able to get up for the next 24 hours. After that your movement must be limited for 2 days."
"How long will I have to stay in the hospital?"
"If all goes well, no more than two days," he tells me.
I sigh to myself; it will be a long two days.
I have to laugh at myself; I remember when I thought those two days on the hospital were never going to end. Now as I waddle around my house with what can only be described as a watermelon shoved under my shirt I wonder how much longer I will have to endure this.
I can answer it quickly, two more months. 'How in the world am I going to survive two more months of this?' I ask myself as the pain in my back increases. I'm always uncomfortable; I cannot go more than thirty feet from a bathroom and my feet are swollen. Should I go on with the list?
But as the child in my belly rolls around, and my hand moves to soothe it back into slumber, I know I wouldn't change a thing. I knew this would happen; I knew I would fall in love. I haven't even laid eyes on her, yet I know I love her unconditionally.
Yes, its a girl. The doctor gave me the option of finding out on the only visit that Chakotay couldn't attend due to a meeting and I couldn't resist. Chakotay doesn't know yet, and I know he doesn't want to. Thats ok, I can keep a secret.
Sometimes I keep them too well, like that secret about how I feel about Chakotay. I kept my feelings so buried that I almost forgot them myself. I had no choice on Voyager, but when I got home, that was a different story. It hurt to watch Chakotay walk away with Seven, but I had made my own bed. I had to lie in it.
Then when he came to me with this request, I couldn't help but wonder what this child would do to those feelings.
No, I did not do this to get closer to Chakotay; I did this for him.
I hear him come in the door, breaking my train of thought. He is living here now, maybe temporarily, maybe not. It hasn't been discussed yet, but I know it will have to be soon. I don't want to give the baby up, and yet it's his.
Oh, this is so confusing. I'm not really sure what the hell I'm going to do. I guess putting off this discussion any longer will only cause more confusion; it's time to bring it up.
"How was your day?" I ask. He's has been teaching anthropology at the local college and loving every minute of it.
"Not bad. How are you feeling today? Back still hurt?"
"Of course," I say with a laugh. "Don't worry, Chakotay, I will survive this."
"If you want a backrub, I'm available," he says.
I'm about to respond when I hear the computer chime that I have received a message. I instruct the computer to play the message as I approach the desk, and nearly fall over as I hear the news. There was a shuttle crash, Seven was one of the passengers, all hands lost. A full report will be available at a later date.
I know I'm shaking and I feel the tears as the fall down my cheeks, then I feel the strong arms surround me as I'm lead over to the couch. We hold each other and we both cry, for a woman who was lost so early in her life. She never quite reached the goal she set out to achieve, still never quite grasping hold of her humanity. She never quite understood what it means to love. I wonder if she ever really would have, or if she did and just didn't know how to show it.
Chakotay and I have spoken several times about his brief relationship with Seven, about how she would struggle with basic emotions, and yet would honestly try to show them. He had said that some of her reactions almost seemed rehearsed, like she practiced it before, but she still put forth the effort to show her his true emotions. He felt that he always seemed to fall flat, as he spouted words of love to her, like they weren't quite meant for her.
I know he felt as if he had failed her then; I wonder what he is feeling now? I hope he doesn't feel guilt, for he cannot be blamed in her death. But knowing Chakotay, he will and it will be up to me to steer him back.
I pull his head out of the crook of my neck and make him look at me. My heart nearly breaks at the sight, eyes puffy and red from crying. I do what seems natural to me and lean in close to kiss him lightly. He responds, and it sends shivers down my spine. I know now that this is the start, the first acknowledgement that this relationship is about to take a turn for the better. I feel a little guilty as the thoughts of Seven's death quickly leave my mind but the guilt slowly dissipates as the passions rise, one feeling after another.
I'm barely aware of him lifting me, and despite my added weight, he easily carries me to my bedroom. He gently lays me on the bed and leans over to me to kiss me once again. I know I want this; it suddenly feels so right, but I feel self conscious due to my enlarged belly. I know I shouldn't, he's seen it plenty of times, yet never in a state of complete undress.
As if he is aware of what I am thinking he says, "I want to see all of you, Kathryn."
I stand to face him and watch him slowly remove his clothing. It's like an erotic dance watching each piece fall to the floor; he is trying to put me at ease, beating me to that naked state. As he slowly inches the boxer shorts down to the floor all doubt in my mind takes a quick exit.
I turn around and ask him to unzip the dress I am wearing and feel a chill run up my spine as his fingers graze my back as the zipper goes down. I then turn back to him and move the straps of the maternity dress down my shoulders then let go. The dress does just as it should -- it falls to the floor. I then slowly remove the bra and expose my enlarged breasts. I smile as he slowly reaches out to caress one of them, then I gasp, they are much more sensitive then they used to be. I'm quite surprise as I discover that I really don't like the sensation as much as I used to, it must have something to do with the pregnancy.
Once again he reads my thoughts and removes his hand. I finish the show, stripping of my panties, and hear him gasp as I stand up straight.
"You are beautiful," he whispers as he once again meets my lips. He lowers me back onto the bed and lies beside me. His hands begin to wander all over my body, just barely gracing my breasts but lingering on my belly. He leans in close and whispers words that touch my heart, "Go to sleep little one, your mother and I are about to make love."
"Oh, Chakotay," I cry.
"Shh, love," is all he says before continuing his exploration. Soon his hands make their way to my tingling bundle of nerves. That too seems to be overly sensitive but this is a sensation I do not mind. My head is swimming as he slowly circles his fingers, just as I feel I am about to explode he stops. I am about to protest when I notice him leave my side and move between my legs. I'm not sure how to react, this is something that I have experienced rarely. Mark did it once, but said he didn't like the taste and the time before was Justin; that was so long ago, I'm not sure if I remember it.
I decide to lie back and enjoy, and enjoy I do. Soon I am bucking into his mouth, desperate for that release I was so near before. It doesn't take long before I see stars as I explode. Chakotay is relentless, still lapping at my center, sending aftershocks through me. My god, if he doesn't stop I just may pass out. I reach my hand to his head and try to pull him up, "too much," I manage to gasp out.
He smiles up at me and moves up my body. That smile of his tells me he isn't quite through with me and I think I'm ok with that. I feel his member nudging at my entrance so I spread my legs a little more and feel it slowly slip inside. It's an exquisite feeling, one I almost forgot, being filled up. I know I'm tight, but it's not quite painful. Just a deep pressure, one I thoroughly enjoy.
I think there is a part of me that could just stay like this, never parting from this man, forever joined. But he is impatient and slowly begins to move; I join him, meeting him thrust for thrust.
I know this won't last long, I can feel the spiral of another oncoming orgasm. Chakotay's movements are less coordinated, slightly jerky as he's trying to keep up the rhythm with his oncoming climax distracting him. I open my eyes and watch him, I want to see his face the moment it happens; a particular fantasy of mine.
I hear a sound, almost like a whimper and wonder for a second where it is coming from, until I realize it's coming from me. My voice joins with his and soon we are both howling as our climaxes come together.
We are both sticky and sweaty and I can feel our juices running out of me; I reach down, suddenly desperate to taste; salty and sour, but delicious much the same. He collapses next to me and I turn to snuggle against him. I think I've waited forever to know what it was like to sleep next to him, tonight I will know. Its a comfort that I now know I will cherish for the rest of my life. This union completed us, made us whole, made us a family.
I look over at Chakotay lying next to me, half asleep, yet smiling. He must realize it, too, A joining of souls, that's what this is. What is the betaziod word for it? Imzadi, thats it. He is my Imzadi. There is no doubt about it any more.
I quietly try to reach into the small bassinet and remove my daughter from it without waking Chakotay. The poor dear has finally fallen asleep after surviving the exhausting labor. I know I need to sleep too, but Annesa is hungry so she comes first.
I watch as my daughter latches onto my breast and greedily eats, her eyes already drifting shut. I'm finding it hard to take my eyes off of her, she is the picture of beauty, with her shiny black hair, slightly tan skin and those beautiful dark eyes. I can tell those eyes will be blue and find myself thinking just like mine. I did not create this child but I did love and nurture her, and I will think of myself as her mother, her only mother.
Chakotay and I talked about it, and decided it would be cruel to tell a child that her conception was an accident and a freak accident at that. Maybe it's wrong not telling her who her biological mother really was, but then again to tell her that would be to tell her of rejection and a deep sadness. Our daughter will know only love, a strong love between her mother and father -- Chakotay and me. It's all she will need growing up in this world.
Oh she will learn of a woman named Seven, a good friend of her mother and father, and the tale of how she came to Earth. But there will be nothing more to that story, nothing else is needed, except maybe to say that before Seven's death, the drone did something that brought the two of us together, something extraordinary that we will never forget.
It's because of Seven that two people found love and happiness,
and also because of her that baby now makes three.

After being forced to close about three months ago, the Senior Center in Arab is back open.
The Center's Director told us today that a pipe burst back in January and left behind $100,000 worth of damage.
People at the Senior Center told us when the center closed, they were having to drive about 20 minutes to the Senior Center in Guntersville.
"The whole situation has been hard for many but it's blossomed into a wonderful thing," said Maggie Funderburk who goes to the Center.
Monday, Friends gathered to play bridge, eat lunch and catch up about what they've been up to for the past 3 months.
New floors were installed, new furniture was bought, and other renovations were made after the building flooded.
One man told us he's been playing pool here for years, but hasn't been able to play with his friends since the Center closed.
"I haven't seen them since, so we will probably all get together Friday," said Ken Drake who lives in Arab.
Many at the Center told us they'd come multiple times a week to the center, soo the reopening is long over due.
After months, they told us it was well worth the wait.
"This has been where we come. It's hard moving away from it and not knowing what was going on. It's been a very welcome change and we are glad to be back," said Funderburk.
The Senior Center is opened 7:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Monday - Friday.

Par Mike Clements
L'Obsidian Series™ 800D est un boîtier d'ordinateur entièrement équipé pour tour pleine taille qui s'adresse aux fabricants de systèmes expérimentés. Il offre un large volume pour accueillir tous vos composants et dispose de l'espace nécessaire pour installer jusqu'à sept ventilateurs, un radiateur de 3 x 120 mm, quatre baies SATA 2 échangeables à chaud et bien plus encore.
L'Obsidian Series 800D est conçu pour rester performant durant des années de mises à niveau de carte mère, d'alimentation, de mémoire, de dissipateur et d'autres composants.
Sa structure en acier possède un revêtement intérieur et extérieur noir mat, ainsi qu'une finition en aluminium brossé, ce qui lui confère un aspect professionnel, à la fois raffiné et branché. Son panneau latéral à fenêtre vous permet d'exhiber facilement vos réalisations.
Le compartiment d'alimentation, le compartiment principal et les baies SATA disposent chacun de sous-systèmes de refroidissement dédiés destinés à empêcher l'accumulation de chaleur.
Un ventilateur de 140 mm doté d'un filtre anti-poussière introduit l'air froid en bas du châssis et l'expulse à l'arrière et en haut. Cette conception astucieuse force l'air froid à passer directement au-dessus de la carte graphique et du processeur. Les baies SATA échangeables à chaud sont refroidies par un ventilateur de 140 mm distinct qui expulse l'air du boîtier par l'intermédiaire d'une chambre étanche, ce qui empêche la chaleur générée par les disques de pénétrer dans le compartiment principal. Le compartiment d'alimentation est équipé d'une entrée et d'une sortie spécialement conçues pour introduire et expulser l'air et totalement isolées du compartiment principal.
Besoin d'un refroidissement encore plus performant ? L'Obsidian Series 800D est doté d'une section pré-percée permettant d'accueillir des radiateurs simples, doubles ou triples, ou jusqu'à trois ventilateurs de 120 mm supplémentaires.
Une baie de quatre disques SATA échangeables à chaud est située à l'avant du boîtier, ce qui simplifie l'installation et le remplacement à la volée de disques durs. Un système unique de câblage réduit l'encombrement susceptible d'empêcher la circulation d'air. La conception tool-free (sans outils) pour un montage simplifié garantit un accès facile et une installation rapide des disques 5,25 pouces.

The Obsidian 800D gives you compete freedom in regard of cooling, with the possibility to install a triple radiator or virtually any air cooler on the market. Even if you fill the chassis to the rim, you can easily keep things perfectly clean, as there are many ways to hide and route the cables.Vérification complète !
Unique and well researched design that gives users what they have always wanted. Unbeatable cable management, with grommet placement and paths that would typically require time and case modification.Vérification complète !
When Corsair set out to make its first chassis, it clearly aimed big - and the Obsidian Series 800D is mammoth. Its features are plentiful, and practically everything is provided in excess quantities.Vérification complète !
"If I could sum up the 800D in one word, it'd be substantial. The Obsidian is a no-nonsense, extra-large case with an impressively uninterrupted, blacked-out aesthetic both inside and out. Even though this is Corsair's first entry into the market, its engineers have designed a case that gets a lot of little things right while also bringing new innovations to the table. I've yet to see a case with a better array of cable-routing punch-outs, making it easy to wire even a crowded system cleanly. The 800D's partitioned cooling zones still leave plenty of room to work inside the case, and the access panel behind the motherboard tray's socket area should greatly simplify heatsink swaps. And then there are the hot-swap drive bays, which are a rare find in desktop enclosures and certainly something a lot of enthusiasts will find both useful and drool-worthy."Vérification complète !
You can not deny that this is a good looking well built case, it may be steel but that just adds to the tough sturdy quality feel. The attention to detial is also the best I've seen in any case on the market, even simple things like the front I/O bay kept me amused for ages playing with the pop down door.Vérification complète !
Obsidian 800D simply swept us of our feet. The in-case room is more than enough for anyone, and so much space makes component access a breeze. Obsidian 800D is designed with all motherboard types in mind, from mATX to EATX, and various water cooling solutions have been thought of as well. Corsair did more than well in covering the critics and propositions from the community and made the Obsidian 800D to cater to highly-demanding customers who look for quality and potential.Vérification complète !
Corsair gets our praise as its debut Obsidian 800D model will surely enjoy a warm welcome. It seems to be the most versatile product among the three and is one of the few that offers a 4-disk rack (with the hot swap feature) accessed from the front panel. It is also going to be good for users of liquid cooling systems.Vérification complète !
Corsair has hit a home run here. If you're interested in a top quality chassis with enthusiast caliber features, this is it!Vérification complète !
An investment like this, and this an investment, is well worth it when balanced against the cost of those valuable components it's designed to house. Showcasing an outstanding mix of style and function, the Corsair Obsidian 800D is an excellent full tower, packed with features to make this the cleanest system build we've ever done.Vérification complète !
The corsair Obsidian 800d doesn't have any big weaknesses and offers a lot of detail solutions. A water cooling system and an army of hard drives aren't a problem either. The cooling performance is good and the possibility to put cables out of sight shouldn't make only modders happy. Therefore the Corsair Obsidian 800D receives our Top Product Award.Vérification complète !
Parm talks to Corsair's Rob Pearce about the rather sexy stuff they are doing that ISN'T memory...Vérification complète !
...with its solid design features for air or water cooled systems, superior cable management options, quality construction materials, hot-swappable SATA bays, and the "wow" factor for size, it's worth the cost, especially if you were looking to mount a up to a 120x3 sized radiator internally.Vérification complète !
Although the Thermaltake Level 10 (reviewed Holiday 2009) turned the heads of nearly everyone who saw it, including non-enthusiasts, every enthusiast who came into our Lab was more excited by the Corsair 800D. It's enormous, well built, and crammed with power-user features.Vérification complète !
The Corsair Obsidian 800D is a great computer case that offers a lot of space as well as great features and solutions for computer enthusiasts that want the bestVérification complète !
Not only is that case sexy as hell, it has some really cool features for water cooling enthusiast and case modders. Trust me when I say that the Obsidian 800D, with a 1000W power supply, is going to be my next case upgrade.Vérification complète !
Yes, I am rarely this excited about a chassis, so there's only one thing left to do on our side. I handed it out maybe once or two times this year only... the award for best hardware. Well deserved, what a pleasure it was to review gear like this.Vérification complète !
An investment like this, and this an investment, is well worth it when balanced against the cost of those valuable components it's designed to house. Showcasing an outstanding mix of style and function, the Corsair Obsidian 800D is an excellent full tower, packed with features to make this the cleanest system build we've ever done.Vérification complète !
The Bottom Line: Endless options, sleek looks and the best thought out overall design I have had my hands on. This makes the Corsair Obsidian 800D the right choice for any build.Vérification complète !
Corsair had been hard at work developing a new chassis long before their first chassis was released in August of 2009. This chassis wasn't a clone of an existing case, but rather a new design from the ground up that was aimed at computer enthusiasts. When we reviewed the chassis in August of 2009 we found that this full size tower was massive, but we fell in love with the space, appearance and functionality.Vérification complète !
It was evident after meeting with Corsair for only a short while today at their Computex suite that the once memory only company is really spreading its wings and diversifying into new markets with a mix of new products which move far away from PC memory and power supplies.Vérification complète !
Corsair have come a long way in the past few years and each expansion into another product area tends to be successful for them. The Obsidian 800D continues that trend due to its exceptional build quality and ease of use.Vérification complète !
WOW what a case! Think about this, this is Corsair's first case. Not only that they are a memory company not a case company! They have really taken their time designing this case and it is one of the best cases that I've seen in a while!Vérification complète !
The Corsair Obsidian Series 800D chassis is an example of what happens when you think outside the box and design something from the ground up. Several of the design features are unique to this chassis and make it stand out from the crowd. It has clearly done well enough to earn our Innovation Award and we can't wait to see what Corsair is planning for their next case design.Vérification complète !

My name is Denise. I would like to go into pharmaceutical industry after I get my pharmD. Do I risk taking a paycut because I am not going into community pharmacy? Also, is it better to complete a fellowship or not? Thanks
Denise,You can access the latest salary survey information at http://drugtopics.modernmedicine.com/dr … &date=This survey does not compare pharmaceutical industry with other practice settings, but will give you a "ball park" of the salary ranges that you can expect.In my experience, I have seen that it is much more difficult for recent grads to find a position in the area of pharmaceutical industry without completing an industry fellowship first. Many of the pharmaceutical companies are looking for those with experience in the industry and one of the best ways to gain that experience is by completing a fellowship.You can also learn more about industry fellowships in a Student Pharmacist Magazine article at http://www.pharmacist.com/AM/Template.c … FellowshipBest of Luck!Jennifer Athay, PharmDDirector of Student AffairsAmerican Association of Colleges of Pharmacy
