First up, we need to gather up all of our fabrics and get them cut up…
this time I went with a little more color and pattern… The only thing I didn't cut today was the batting.
*I am making this one as a gift for a member of my family… I think this one is going to feel a lot more like fall.
don't forget to download the tutorial to get the pattern pieces and more detailed instructions. (and just a friendly reminder that the free pattern is for personal use only, thanks so much)
also I would love to see your progress from beginning to end… you can add your photos to the flickr group:

A good friend of mine has recently just bought back his parents' old Audi TT 225. It is a 2002 car on a '51 plate with 73k miles on the clock, to the nearest big dot. Considering its age, the mileage is low and as a result, bodywork and interior are in pretty good fettle. The paintwork may look a little dull, but nothing a good polish and clay bar won't tidy up.
The Audi TT was a roaring success at launch. It sold like hot cakes, thanks to its unquestionably cool styling and choice of powerful engines. There was the 1.8 litre unit which was tuned to 178 bhp and 222 bhp, and a more powerful 3.2 litre V6, also seen in the Volkswagen Golf R32. The MK I TT has grown into a modern classic, and can be picked up for such a bargain, too – this car was a steal.
The interior is minimalism at its finest. As a result, it is timeless and will age gracefully, just like the rest of the car. The driving position is OK, but a little awkward for somebody of my height (6′ 2″) I felt as though I wasn't low enough. I think this had something to do with the seats. They look good, and are comfortable, but aren't particularly supportive where it counts.
I was interested to see how the car drove so was kindly offered a short drive of the car. On a cold start, the exhaust erupts with a sporty rasp and settles into a high-revving burble for around two minutes, whilst the oil pressure equalises. We gave the car the mechanical sympathy it deserves and allowed the fluids to get up to temperature – it is an old car! After 15-20 minutes of considerate driving, keeping the revs below 3,000 rpm, it was time to exploit the car's capabilities.
A short boot in second gear from the traffic lights on a dual-carriageway roundabout was sufficient to see the car is plenty fast. The turbo kicks in around 2,800 rpm and sustains its 207 lb ft of punch through to 4,500 rpm.
I wanted to see what the car's chassis dynamics were like so we pulled off the motorway and onto a couple of my favourite B-roads. The TT at launch, was never regarded as one of the finest handling and dynamically capable cars. However, in comparison with newer cars I have tested and the electrically-assisted power steering systems they now have, I simply cannot agree with these opinions. The steering feel has a distinct clarity, and you are able to feel each and every crack in the tarmac, and up to the point where adhesion levels are over the limit. Having said that, it is hard to actually encourage some slip from the front axle, as soon as the car registers a loss of traction, it counteracts it by distributing power to the rear wheels which keeps the car tight. Enter hard into a corner and you find the front pushing out as understeer, but this then manifests itself into a tonne of grip. The completely natural steering feel is the sweet spot of this car. Any understeer you encounter can be overcome as you adjust the yaw angle on the throttle, with every confidence in where the car is going to be.
The 1.8 litre engine pulls like a train through its rev range, just before running out of puff at the red line. There is one thing I would say, however. I think the best way to release the car's power is to change up early and experience that constant power surge in short bursts, rather than stringing out gears. The gearbox seems to have short ratios, which despatch peak power mid range. This set up keeps you navigating through the six speed manual gearbox, which is in no way a complaint. The motions of exiting a tight corner, getting on the power in second, change up to third, and drop back down into second for the next corner are slick. The throw of the gearstick has a smooth fluidity to it as you select each cog.
After just a short time in the drivers seat, I was able to tell a lot about the car. Good old-fashioned control weights and hydraulic assistance will always communicate better with the driver and as time has gone by, so have opinions about the way the MK I TT handles. It does have a tendency to drift away from you, but because it is so predictable, it is easy to adjust throttle and steering inputs to counteract the spine shuddering feeling of understeer.

We are excited to see continued growth for both sales and prices for existing homes and condos in Florida," said Jeanne Dailey.
Destin, Fla. (PRWEB) April 30, 2016
Broker Associate Diane Green and Sales Associate Shannyn Stevenson were recently awarded 2016 First Quarter Top Producers at Newman-Dailey Resort Properties for real estate in Destin, Fla. Stevenson was recognized as top sales agent, and Green as top listing agent for January through March 2016.
Recent trends show a rising tide lifting all boats along Florida's Emerald Coast. According to the Emerald Coast Association of Realtors (ECAR), real estate sales along the Emerald Coast in 2015 increased 16.1 percent over the previous year. In addition, reports from ECAR show increased demand with the average number of cumulative days for listings on market decreasing from 150 days in December 2014 to 140 days in December 2015.
"We are excited to see continued growth for both sales and prices for existing homes and condos in Florida," said Jeanne Dailey, CEO of Newman-Dailey Resort Properties. "And we are very proud of our team of experienced real estate agents. Both Diane and Shannyn have been a driving force within our real estate division and these women exemplify Newman-Dailey's commitment to stellar service, professionalism and integrity."
Diane Green consistently achieves top producer status and most recently was Newman-Dailey's first female to achieve the top listing and sales agent of the year award. Currently holding active Broker licenses in Florida and Georgia, a Life Member of the Atlanta Million Dollar Club and more than 34 years in real estate sales, Green is committed to achieving what's best for her clients. Her motto of "buy our beach life" allows her passion for the Emerald Coast to shine while working diligently behind the scenes to serve her clients. Green's confidence and professionalism guides each client from the first steps of a transaction and into a successful closing.
Raised in the Destin area, Shannyn Stevenson has seen the Emerald Coast grow from a small town fishing village into a highly sought after vacation destination. Licensed for more than 17 years, Stevenson specializes in rental investments, second homes, and luxury real estate properties. Her tagline "I know the Gulf Coast" is very appropriate for Stevenson who knows her way around the area by land or by water. She has had great success putting deals together though the ever changing market conditions and has continued to be one of Newman-Dailey's top producers.

A warehouse solution was required for bulk and broken pack storage of aluminum extrusion and to allow the Dandenong business to have more versatility in their storage and handling of product.
Meca Racking Solutions supplied a number of design and layout options and with OneSteel's input, refined the design to optimally suit their specific requirements. The end design of Cantilever racking took into consideration the make and model of forklift that OneSteel uses allowing specific aisle widths and technical and size characteristics that could be adjusted based on stocking requirements and load levels.
Safety was the number one priority during the installation process. A construction site was created to ensure safety of Meca and OneSteel staff working in close proximity. To ensure racking material did not over-crowd the construction site, material was delivered in three waves, which included the correct specific mix of material required for each stage of the installation. Meetings and briefings took place to ensure all Meca Racking installation personnel and OneSteel staff was aware of activities and movements over the three-week project installation period.
From Meca Racking Solutions Safe Work Method Statements to project story board containing safety information and procedures, project plans, schedules and project drawings, a safety focus was in place at all stages of the projects progress allowing representatives from the OneSteel organisation to view and see instantly the development of the project.
The project was completed four working days ahead of schedule and continues to improve OneSteel's efficiency and capabilities of their warehouse storage system.

Dreamworld accident: two children in 'miracle' survival from Thunder Rivers ride tragedy that killed both their mothers
Two children aboard a doomed ride at a theme park in Australia have been labelled the "miracle" survivors after they escaped as a water raft overturned and the four other passengers were killed, including both of their mothers.
Police said it was not clear how the boy and girl, aged 10 and 12, survived the fatal collision of two rafts on the Thunder River Rapids ride at the Dreamworld theme park in the Gold Coast.
The accident, caused by a conveyor belt malfunction, flipped one of the six-person rafts backwards, sending two people flying out and leaving another two trapped – but the two children aboard survived.
"In terms of how they escaped, maybe through the providence of God or somebody," Queensland police assistant commissioner Brian Codd told reporters.
"It is almost a miracle that anybody came out of that. Coming to a place where families want to come and enjoy each other's company and just have fun doesn't really equate to such a tragedy as we've seen."
The two children watched in shock as their mothers, Kate Goodchild and Cindy Low, died. Other family members were in a separate raft.
As fresh questions emerged about safety standards at the popular theme park, the victims were identified as Ms Goodchild, 32, her brother Luke Dorsett and his partner Roozbeh Araghi – all of whom were Canberra residents – and Ms Low, 42, a New Zealander who lived in Sydney.
The victims were trapped in the wooden conveyor belt and their bodies were removed after the water was drained from the ride in a gruelling retrieval that took several hours.
Kim Dorsett, the mother of Ms Goodchild and Mr Dorsett, said her 12-year-old grand-daughter who survived the accident was "going through unimaginable pain at the moment".
"I have three children and have lost two of them today – my whole family has been wiped out," she told The Courier-Mail newspaper. Police are investigating the cause of the disaster, which was captured on CCTV cameras.
"We owe it to the deceased and their families – we owe it to the community to get to the bottom of what caused this," said assistant commissioner Codd.
"If and where there are criminal aspects including negligence that warrant being pursued, we'll do that. A lot of that will be determined as the engineering examination happens today."
Officials from the Australian workers union last year raised concerns about the operation and maintenance of some equipment at the park but did not specifically raise the rapids ride. Concerns were raised as recently as three weeks ago.
"We did hold some very grave concerns about safety of equipment and the operation of equipment," said union official Ben Swan.
Some visitors to the park on Tuesday said the ride had been closed twice for maintenance before the accident.
Earlier this year, Dreamworld was closed after a person nearly drowned on a separate ride after an incident which involved a conveyor belt system similar to that used in the rapids ride.
The family-friendly "moderate thrill" rapids ride sends people on circular rafts down a foamy white water-style track at speeds of up to 28 miles an hour. Children under 120 centimetres tall must be accompanied by a person 14 years or older.
Dreamworld is one of the country's best known theme parks and attracts about two million visitors a year from Australia and around the world.

Sometimes I like to just pull out my guitar and strum. No matter what I'm playing (or attempting to play), I find myself relaxed. What is it that you do to relax?
It is important to relax. Reading is the way that I used to relax, but now that I'm at seminary I find myself with an inordinate amount of reading and writing. When a person spends all of their time reading theologians and Biblical commentaries it is hard to find the time to enjoy a Harry Potter book, for example.
I hope that you will take a moment to think about the last time you were truly and completely relaxed. Don't think of it as a luxury – but as a necessity – and make time to relax more often!

Like every single food, they can have both good and bad effects. We suggest that when you choose your foods, especially when you eat them often, you should understand the downfalls of them. From this, you will be able to acquire a greater benefit from your diet. Here, We will give you knowledge about side effects of Sesame Seed.
Unhealthy Body Weight
These lightweight sesame seeds are densely packed with calories and saturated fat. A 100 gm serving of sesame seeds, which is only a handful of the whole or ground kernels, contains 590 calories. The same serving also provides 8 gm of saturated fat, which is around 40% of our recommended daily intake. So, incorporating sesame seeds in your regular diet can make you gain unhealthy body weight.
Colon Cancer
Regular consumption of sesame seeds in excess amount can take a toll on your colon. Researchers have found that eating more than 15 ng (nanograms) sesame seeds a day can inflame your colon, which result into fatal diseases like colon cancer. This is one of the most dangerous sesame seed side effects as it can lead to death.
Allergic Reactions
Allergy is another common side effect of sesame seed intake. Be it whole seeds used in your regular dishes or the oil extracted from them, chances are high that you will develop different types of allergies if you are sensitive to sesame. So, stay completely away from the seeds in such a situation.
Appendix Infection
Well, it is not very common, but some people may become the victim of appendix infection by eating excessive sesame seeds. Sometimes, a few of the consumed seeds may get stuck in the organ which, in due course, may result in mild to serious infections.
According to scientists, sesame seeds hold great laxative properties. It means, consumption of more than the recommended daily intake of these kernels can cause loose stool, and sometimes even diarrhea. So, try to stay within a limit while using sesame in your meals.
Skin Rashes
Sesame seeds may also have some adverse effects on your skin. If you eat too much of them in your food or use products containing good amounts of sesame seed oil, you might end up developing skin rashes along with itching and redness.
Hair Loss
Many of us make use of black sesame seeds for ensuring the optimal health of our hair. But, the overdose of these kernels can reverse the results totally. It causes hormonal imbalance, which makes the scalp oily and dries up the hair follicles. Consequently, the rate of hair fall goes up to a large extent. It may even result in complete baldness.
It is believed that eating sesame seeds during the first trimester of pregnancy is bad for health. It sometimes may lead to miscarriage.

Especially in times of economic slowdown, an MBA degree can help create many opportunities for career advancement and shifts to another industry. This is a worthy investment for many professionals who have high hopes of taking over senior executive positions and managerial posts. Though many aspire to become MBA graduates, many are also discouraged to take up such a degree because of its rigorous requirements. It does take time, money, and a lot of dedication on your part. However, by choosing the right program, you can find the best path toward MBA education.
According to MBA Programs.org, there are MBA degree programs that are suitable for different types of graduate students. Fresh college graduates and even working parents can find a suitable program for them through different types of degree programs offered by many business schools. Here are some of them:
Full-time MBA programs
According to MBA Programs.org,
Full-time MBA programs are typically designed for recent college grads, people not well-established in their current careers, or those looking to change careers. Full-time MBA students are usually those able to take out loans, qualify for merit scholarships, or personally finance their education. They remain out of the workplace during the length of their business school studies.
Full-time MBA programs are ideal if you have free time on your hand or dont have a business to run. However, people say that without practical experience, it is often difficult for students to apply the skills and theories taught in business schools into real-life situations. Though students are exposed to modern strategies and techniques in the business world, in the end, success is determined by the execution of these strategies or how the student can analyze situations and think out of the box for solutions.
Full-time MBA programs are available for the duration of two years or one year. One-year full-time MBA programs are ideal for students who have had business experience. The short-term program goes beyond the basics and focuses more on developing management skills. The two-year program, however, can last up to 21 months. The course includes the basics in business and usually requires internship for training and exposure to applied business theories.
Part-time MBA programs
Part-time MBA programs are available for professionals who are running their own business or are currently assuming a position in a company. Working adults benefit from these programs, which allow them to pursue MBA education while keeping their jobs that help finance their schooling.
According to MBA Programs.org,
If youve already launched your career or have family obligations, the online MBA may be your best option. Not only can advanced business study qualify you for higher-paying positions, but many employers are happy to partially or fully finance online MBA studies for their most promising employees. These programs are well-suited to working parents and career-track professionals; they are generally available part-time, though they are often accelerated.
Although online MBA programs are downright more convenient since they are accelerated and can be taken according to your own pace, an online MBA degree is not fully recognized by some employers. Critics question some online MBA schools credibility, especially with the proliferation of diploma mills nowadays. Some also criticize the programs lack of face-to-face interaction with instructors and others students, which could very well contribute to the expansion of knowledge and practical experience.
Executive MBA programs
Fast-paced executive MBA programs are offered at campus-based and online business schools. Theyre for seasoned managers or current executives who want to sharpen their expertise or add a new specialty to their existing knowledge.
As for any type of MBA program, the foremost requirement is commitment. If you dont have the patience, hard work, and perseverance, its hard to succeed in such a program that requires higher learning and for you to put practical experience into practice.
mbaadmission.com added that all programs have their own benefits and disadvantages. Heres an excerpt:
Going full time will allow you to concentrate more fully on class work. It will also make a summer internship (which can be critical in executing a career switch) crucial.
Part time programs can be less intensive depending on the workload from your employer. The income can also make the experience less financially stressful, with many employers covering the tuition costs.
You have to consider your status and assess your capabilities based on given responsibilities at the moment when choosing the best program that suits you best.

RTITB is set to transform the future of materials handling equipment training and assessments with the launch of MyRTITB TrainingFriend PRO – an Android app which makes the training administration and testing process completely paperless for the very first time.
The app is the first of its kind and runs on 7-10" Android tablets and works with and without Wi-Fi. Both candidates and the instructor use tablets which communicate with one another, so there is no need to print test papers, records of training, registration forms or any other paperwork. Everything is captured via the app, saving an average of 5 hours administration time per training course.
"In working closely with training providers, both commercial and inhouse, it became very clear to us that a completely paperless solution for training administration and assessment would be hugely beneficial to our industry, both in terms of cost reduction and time savings," explains Laura Nelson, Managing Director of RTITB.
"MyRTITB TrainingFriend PRO has been developed specifically to support businesses and instructors, ensuring that they can meet their training paperwork and compliance needs, as well as ensuring the accuracy of the data collected and tests administered," Laura continues.
It is easy to switch over to paperless training and assessment and RTITB will be providing full support to those using the MyRTITB TrainingFriend PRO app, which covers training for more than 120 types of machine. Instructors can use the app for counterbalance, reach, rough terrain telescopic and pallet truck training, plus training for powered access equipment (MEWPs), lorry loaders, cranes and many more.
"The app will enable instructors to do what they do best – training, not paperwork," continues Laura. "This solution is expected to pay for itself in a very short time, so is ideal for training providers large and small, as well as in-house instructors and training teams."
To set up a demonstration of MyRTITBTrainingFriend PRO or to find out more, contact: Amy Southall on 01952 520220 or email email@example.com, or visit www.rtitb.co.uk/mytrainingfriend.

5 Types of Bags for 5 Types of Women
A purse is defined by most dictionaries as, "a small bag used especially by women to carry everyday personal items." However, there is nothing "small" about how big a message you send to others through your purse preference. Your handbag can say a lot about who you are. What type of bag are you?
The Hepburns
This clutch is for the girl who looks up to Audrey Hepburn, Julie Andrews, and Grace Kelly. She has her life put together, she is poised, and always knows what to talk about at suave dinner parties. She floats when she walks and always looks like she stepped out of a 1960s old Hollywood film. When she's complimented on her clothing she says effortlessly, "Oh this old thing?" The only thing she needs in her purse is her credit cards, keys, and red lipstick.
Verdict: She's perfect and probably went to cotillion
She's Like So Type A
This bag is for the girl who would drop dead if she lost her planner. She is organized, efficient, and drinks skinny vanilla lattes. Her entire life is in her bag. The bag itself may resemble a black hole to the untrained eye, but the joke's on them because it holds all things good and necessary. She is prepared with anything and everything you could imagine from a protein bar to a mini sewing kit. She can't imagine carrying any other bag around because that would mean spending unnecessary time moving her life from one bag to the other.
Verdict: She definitely knows what she's eating for breakfast tomorrow… and everyday for the next month.
I've Got Wanderlust
This girl believes—rightfully so—that experiences are better than material objects but in order to go on an adventure, you need the proper luggage. She is always on the move in a plane, train, or automobile so she values function and utility in her belongings. Any pro-adventurer knows that a backpack is the most efficient way to carry your passport. She absolutely hates over the shoulder bags because of their contribution to Scoliosis, which she can't afford because she's going rock climbing this afternoon.
Verdict: She has thousands of Instagram followers because her life is just that cool. Goals.
Perfectly Peculiar
This is for the girl who loathes mainstream trends and fashion. Why wear what everyone else is wearing when you can stand out with a statement piece? This girl is eccentric and makes you want to hit up your local hole-in-the-wall antique shop. She loves Anthropologie and listening to her record player. This girl is inspired by Twiggy and mod fashion. She is classic, feminine, but a little quirky. Because of her unconventional style, she needs an unconventional purse to match her personality. She'd rather standout in a tulle skirt than blend in with skinny jeans.
Verdict: She wouldn't be caught dead wearing anything made beyond 1989.
Coachella State of Mind
You might be sitting in class, at work, or on the couch, but you'd always rather be at Coachella. Kicking back with friends, and listening to indie folk music is your way of decompressing. You're a free-spirited hippie at heart and you wish that you could have grown up in the 70s. Mustard, maroon, and brown are your favorite colors and you'll buy anything that has fringe. You are ecstatic that the 70s are back in fashion but let's face it, you'd wear your flare jeans anyways. You throw up the peace sign in all your photos and are obsessed with The Beatles.
Verdict: She is Jackie Burkhart.

A few days after this blogathon-thing I'm doing started (blogging for 31 days in May, yikes!), Michelle Rafter, the writer who runs it, came out with a list of DON'TS for beginning bloggers.
So yeah, of course I was doing almost every one of them, particularly #1 and #2. Writing about myself and writing about anything. Check. I also slipped in #6 –Writing really long posts.
( A couple of days later, Michelle wrote another post that I can't find, saying, no rules are set in stone, writing is about self expression, etc. She was simply making suggestions for people who were looking to bring traffic to their blogs, monetize and that kind of thing.)
That said, I felt it still might be worthwhile to explain why I'm doing what I'm doing. Except I don't feel like it, so I'm going to turn this chore over to my alter ego, the journalist:
Hi, Kathy here! Thanks for the real extensive intro, Taya. Last year, I participated in the blogathon with a reporting-oriented blog called Out and Employed. It provided career and job advice for ex-offenders. At the time, I was teaching an employability skills class to inmates at the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center and also counseling individual offenders. The blogathon was hugely helpful to the development of that blog and also to my writing in general. I came away fired up, and — at least initially — continued to post regularly.
But life changes. In setting goals for my writing this year, I realized I wanted to focus a little more on the neglected stepchild that is my fiction. I still need my paid work to support myself, so that couldn't go. That left my teaching at the jail and the blog. I wasn't sure I wanted to give up either. My students loved the class. Readers said the blog helped them. Editors liked it. I even got a major book ghostwriting assignment because of it.
Still, I knew something had to give. So I really listened to my heart — and what my heart told me was that I was being pulled in too many different directions. In January, after some soul-searching and some helpful discussions with my wonderful writing coach, Marla Beck, I decided to take a break from teaching.
I continued writing the blog, but found myself posting less and less. When this year's blogathon rolled around, I decided it was time to cut the ties and phase it out. I really want any nonpaid writing I do to feed my fiction, not take time away from it. So I created ThatChinaGirl, with the idea that it be written in the voice of my teenage protagonist for a novel set in China.
Like most teens, Taya H.'s world revolves primarily around herself. That's true whether she's in China or back in Chicago where she's from. So there goes rule # 1. She's going to bop around and write about different things depending on her mood, so you can forget Rule #2, as well. Finally, it's her nature to go on and on, AND ON (like when her parents told her about Bin Laden's death and she remembered back to 911.) That means Rule #6 is pretty much shot as well.
She hopes she doesn't offend. But she doesn't really care. She checked out the blogroll initially and is interested in some blogs — particularly those written by other fiction writers like Tia or Rashida, anything about overseas life or travel (Nisha) or those written by commenters who have lived in China like Katy Manck . But given that she's starting school this week and trying to adjust to a new country, she's not going to be doing the rounds much.
In the meantime, she wishes all the participants in Blogathon 2011 the best of luck. We both hope it's everything you want it to be for your writing — and more.
P.S. Three cheers and a firecracker salute to you if you made it to the end of this overly long post!

Magenta Living & Riverside
Wirral & Carlisle
Date Completed
Autumn 2011
Development Overview
Ainsley Gommon worked in partnership with a developer, utilising their volumetric housing system on two residential schemes for Magenta Living and Riverside. The system enabled each floor module to be constructed off-site, with the entire interior fit-out completed in the factory, before being delivered to site and the final enveloping applications completed.
The modules were fully factory fitted and delivered to site once the foundations were in place, and stacked or placed to create a single or 2 storey property. All building services were installed, tested and commissioned in the factory and arrived to site defect free. The system allowed each scheme to have its own elevation treatments to fit with the local context. The systems performance exceeded requirements of the Building Regulations and achieved Code Level 4 as standard through the improved thermal performance of the offsite volumetric construction. In addition we assisted the supplier manufacturer, where one of our senior technical staff was made available to assist with the development of the system based in the factory, and in the co-ordination of the manufacture design process.
The scheme for Magenta consisted of four 3 bedroom houses on a brownfield site on Wirral. The objective of the project was to investigate the opportunity for constructing Off-Site Manufactured units, which intended to meet improved timescales for delivery and cost certainty, as well as improved quality on completion. The scheme in Carlisle consisted of eight bungalows, where each unit was delivered to site in two parts and clipped together once in place.

Author's Note: Some dialogue borrowed from Billy. Enjoy.
Pieces Of The Puzzle.
Los Angeles was resembling an old
abandoned and deserted western town this morning, despite daylight having hit
some hours ago. Looking at it, one would almost expect tumbleweeds to roll across
the road, followed by a load of dust and a whistling wind. Of course, there was
the very conspicuous buildings and objects of the twenty-first century, but the
atmosphere was still there.
Two lone figures emerged out of an nineteen
twenties/thirties style edifice to alter this cowboy ghost town western image.
One was the classic, tall, dark and handsome. The other, a blond slip of a girl,
though she had hit womanhood a long time ago. They walked out from the entrance
and down the steps. The couple took their time, a luxury they had only acquired
the ability to enjoy recently, despite there being a deadline one of them needed
to stick to on this particular occasion.
At the foot of the stairs,
the couple came to halt, where a black, 1967 Plymouth Belvedere GTX convertible,
had been parked on the road in front of the building, waiting. The blond slip
of a girl turned to face the tall, dark and handsome, who without a word of prompting,
put his arms around her. The blond pressed herself close to her companion, resting
her face on the dark sweater he was wearing under the long leather coat, inhaling
his unique scent. The dark one rested his head on her blond hair, inhaling hers.
Silence took reign over the city of Angels again. Neither one of the couple
currently embracing each other wanted to break it by parting or speaking. Time
seemed to stop, freezing the rather appropriately filmic scene for all eternity.
But, in reality, like everything else in this world, the scene could not remain
unchanged forever. Any moment now, a band would strike up for the traditional
musical overture, followed by a director shouting 'cut' or 'that's a rap!'
Aware of the pressing engagement before one of them today, the nestling
contrast of heads slowly moved from their positions, and gazed into each other's
eyes. Formulating resolves. A moment later the dark's arms loosened their embrace
around the blonde's slender waist, and the girl softly parted from his protection
and comfort. Silently, she held out her hand to him.
His hand moved
to a pocket in his leather coat, slipped inside, and brought out the required
object. He threw it into his girlfriend's hand. "Remember," he spoke,
finally breaking the odd silence of this morning. "Not a scratch."
The blond chuckled, smiling innocently at him. "Scout's honour,"
she replied, before moving to unlock the driver's door. "Or should I say
"That's what I'm afraid of," her companion
replied, before the teasing banter came to an end. His face went solemn. "Seriously,
take care."
"I always do," she replied, just as solemnly,
looking back at him. Suddenly, a soft sigh escaped her and she put her arms around
his neck. "I love you, you know."
Their lips touched. Not
in a kiss reserved for the long departures from each other, nor the one reserved
for the brief ones. Rather a kiss of confirmation, for what they felt for each
other. Renewing the eternal vow of togetherness.
"I know,"
he added to her when they had pulled apart for air. One of his hands went to the
car door and opened it for her. He watched her get inside, then closed it. Slipping
his hands into his pockets, he took a step back, and watched her as she put the
key into the ignition and started the engine.
The car alive and rearing
to go, she turned and gazed up at him through the open window from the driver's
seat. He returned the expression of affection instantly. Then she placed her hands
on the wheel, and turned.
The Plymouth moved out on to the road. His eyes fixed on the blond head of driver, and silently watched as the vehicle drove off into the distance. Only when it was nothing more than a blip in his vision, did tall and dark move from his spot.
In the business district of the city, the offices of Wolfram and Hart were also
one of the few industries awake and active at this time of the morning.
Morgan, Head of the Special Projects Department, walked with catlike grace down
one of the many corridors. Her head was raised, eyes straight ahead, focusing
on the destination. In her hand she carried a slim file of papers. Her entire
attitude screamed what it had always screamed recently. Keep away.
came to a halt outside her office. Reaching into her pockets, she drew a key and
put it into the lock. Such security in a firm who made it daily practice to watch
its employees as much as they watched their clients, was technically pointless,
but on this occasion, the measure was both necessary, and reassuring.
she stepped inside the large office, locking the door behind her. A swift glance
around the room confirmed that the surveillance devices were still switched off.
Usually there was someone who would immediately notice such an incident and turn
them back on, but then this law firm had not been having a good week. Or to put
it more accurately, a good few months.
Things had gone to hell in a
hand basket approximately three months ago. Since the discovery of a major hiccup
to their plans for their main objective; things at Wolfram and Hart had resembled
a scene like Dresden just before the bombs came crashing down. Each member of
the law firm, board members included, now wore expressions of dread on their faces,
as though the sky was going to fall at any moment.
Like most of them,
Lilah Morgan had been just as stunned at the bolt of blue turning of events. At
first, that is. Then she had taken a step back, and looked at the situation objectively.
Though it might have taken some time, a plan had soon emerged before her analytical
mind. Ever the lawyer, she had let it remain nothing more than an idea for some
time, while she carefully examined it from every angle, evaluating options, outcomes,
consequences, and worst case scenarios.
When the plan had become a
viable one, only then had Lilah decided to act upon it. And today was that action
She walked further into her temporary hideout- for temporary it
was to be until the internal security was fixed -and set the file she had been
carrying on her desk. Then she turned to the wall opposite, walked forward, an
picked up one of the displayed objects upon the shelves. Slowly she set it on
the floor.
The object was different from all the other objet d'arts
currently on show in her office, but similar at the same time. Though its arrival
had been more recent than the rest, its surroundings had long been set up with
the idea in mind to make it look like the object had been present in this room
since time immemorial.
Lilah sat behind her desk. She gazed at the
large, ancient urn on the middle of her office floor for a moment, considering.
A part of her was wondering if she stared at it long enough, the urn would send
her sign as to whether this plan would actually work to her's and the firm's advantage
in the long run. The urn stared back, revealing nothing.
Lilah sighed. Then she lifted up the file on her desk, opened it, and began to read.
The Plymouth had been on the main interstate for no more then twenty minutes when
the driver turned off at the required exit. Moving on to a less crowded highway,
the vehicle remained on the road for another few miles then turned into the driveway
of the destination. After the appropriate identification had been given and authorised,
the car was parked in one of the many empty places reserved for visitors. Ignition
was turned off, driver's door opened.
Blond gracefully exited the car.
Carefully, she shut the door, applied lock, then alarm before stepping away. Turning
round, she established her bearings, then made her way to the entrance.
her identification and pass to one of the security officers inside, she stood
silently in wait for them to be checked. When authorisation had been granted,
she walked through the metal detector. A beep sounded. Automatically she held
out her arms and stood still as the remote device was swept up and down her body.
Calmly she showed her jewelry to the officer, who nodded and pronounced her
Another officer took her down the long corridor to the next
destination. A few doors were passed, followed by blank, reinforced walls, then
bullet proof glass. The officer came to a halt and reached for her keys. The entrance
was unlocked. The officer then stood back, holding the door, and allowed the girl
to go through.
Walking forward, the blond came to a halt at the further
glass and wall barrier which split the room in half, and sat down in one of the
In the distance, noises could be heard. Someone moved to unlock
a door. Footsteps sounded on a floor, gradually getting louder as they came closer.
The blond in the chair sat up, alert and waiting. A loud click was made as the
entrance to the otherside of the room was unlocked and opened.
dark-haired woman which stepped into the room did not appear surprised to see
a blond instead of the dark that usually visited her. But then she had known that
the blond would be coming since this morning. Silently she nodded to the guard
and walked to the chair in front of the glass and wall barrier, opposite her waiting
visitor, and sat down.
Half a second later, the blonde's and dark's
hands moved as if one, to the handset in the narrow wall either side of them,
which divided them from all the other occupants. Together they picked up the black
receiver and put it to their ears.
The dark haired one spoke first.
"Hey, B," she remarked into the receiver.
"Hey, Faith," replied Buffy.
Lilah Morgan finished reading the last document, and closed the file resting in
her hands. Silently she set it on her desk. Raising her head, she glanced at the
urn that was still standing in the middle of her office floor.
she was about to undertake was extremely risky. Not to mention dangerous, for
all involved. But it could also prove highly lucrative. In other words, if she
pulled this off, the firm would be offering her everything she had ever wanted.
Power, prestige, riches, could all be hers.
As long as this worked,
that is. If on the other hand the plan went the way of the last plan she had undertaken,
then it would not be too long before she found herself having to follow the example
of the last Head of Special Projects and hightail her way out of here. While she
was still breathing and whole.
Over the recent weeks Lilah had come
to look upon her previous rival and joint legal partner in this department with
something approaching grudging respect. While his motives for departure may have
been ones she did not agree with- nor ever would, she believed -she could not
deny the possibility that it might have been a wise move. Especially considering
all that had come afterwards.
But Lilah Morgan had never been one who
gives up when the going gets tough. Her mind had always maintained the ability
to find another solution, even when the situation seemed impossible to resolve.
This thinking was the item which had brought her to the current situation
she was now in. It had brought her to the action of taking the urn from the vaults
during one late night all security blackout- Wolfram and Hart had been experiencing
a lot of those lately, all seemingly without any cause or point of origin -and
moving it to her office. This same thinking had also led to her hiding said urn
in plain sight for several days, so no one would notice the sudden appearance
and disappearance of it in her office and ask why.
Now it was to lead
her to the next stage of her plan. A plan which she could no longer avoid putting
into action. A plan, which, because of the many risks involved, she had delayed
until precisely this moment.
Rising from her chair, Lilah Morgan walked
over to the urn. Coming to a halt before it, she reached into the pocket of her
designer business suit, and took out a folded piece of paper. Slowly, she read
aloud the printed words of the incantation contained upon it.
The air
seemed to crackle around her. A mist slowly swirled out of the top. Spiralling
towards the ceiling. Leadenly it settled into its new and larger surroundings,
gradually taking shape and form.
Lilah stood watching it, a phrase passing through her mind. The genie was out of the bottle.
"So," Faith began, "long time no see."
Buffy nodded.
She settled into the chair, adopting a sense of causal. "How's things?"
"Aside from living the life of a nun, five by five." Faith smiled.
"To say that things are a lot better than when
we last saw each other, would be an understatement." Buffy returned the smile.
"Really?" Faith queried, without any need for confirmation,
casting an evaluating eye over her 'sister.' "So, slaying in L.A?"
"You could say that. Though lately I'm more of a rogue vamp slash
demon hunter."
Faith blinked in surprise at the phrase. "You
and Angel are back together?"
"Yep," Buffy grinned,
letting the all the joy she felt due to that show on face. "He's helping
me live the life I want to live, slaying included, and I'm helping him get used
to the fact that he no longer needs to be a monk."
The dark haired
slayer sat listening in silence for a moment as the sentence finished. Then a
wicked look came over her. "No, way!?!" She leaned back in her chair.
"What happened?"
"About a year ago I suddenly gained
a younger sister," Buffy began, her tone changing as she summarised a story
for Faith which, still had the ability to affect her, even now. "The PTB
sent her to me for protection, from this annoying, demon god, anxious to open
a dimension between our worlds. Through a notion born out of tiredness, loneliness,
depression and stupidity, I decided that Dawn's life mattered more than mine,
and sacrificed myself for the greater good."
Faith commented, "how did Angel get you out of that one?"
had his own problems back then," Buffy replied, before proceeding to fill
her on in the rest of his story. "Anyway, while all this was happening, I
died and went to heaven. But the PTB forgot to tell me that Dawn was a key that
could unlock and lock up dimensions. Needless to say, I wasn't too impressed.
But I was also happier than I had been in a long time, so I let the matter lie."
"And who woke up the sleeping dog?" Faith asked, without any
intent to insult.
"The Scoobs. Or should I say more precisely,
Willow and some black magic."
Faith swore in shock. "No way.
Even Giles?"
"No. Giles was the only one not involved. But
the rest conducted a spell to bring me back from the dead."
I thought dark magic wasn't supposed to work unless it was the will of the PTB?"
Faith said puzzled.
"Turns out, the PTB had another destiny in
mind for me. They allowed me to be brought back. But they didn't think to the
stop some demons ransacking the hellmouth in the process. So I crawled my way
out vamp style, only to find a souled one staring back at me, having come to wish
me goodbye. After I'd ranted and railed at him for a while, he convinced me that
he'd nothing to do with it, and brought me to L.A. We went to some high powered
witches on the side of good to rid me of the bad magic inside brought on by the
spell, then restored Angel's immunity to sunlight. I then offered my services
to Angel Investigations."
"Wow," Faith uttered in reaction.
"Did the Scoobs find out this?"
"Not yet," Buffy
replied, touching the wooden panel which held the phone for luck. "Giles
came back from England recently though, and he guessed. Fortunately, he was considerate
enough to hide the evidence before it could be searched and confront us on his
own. Now he's back at the hellmouth, making sure they don't. Or at least, the
chance to make sure we're warned first." Buffy paused to adjust her posture.
"I'm happy, Faith. For the first time in a long while. I'm actually learning
to enjoy slaying on a daily basis."
"And of course you have
"And of course I can 'have' Angel," Buffy added,
allowing a wicked look to grace her face, making Faith chuckle at the turn of
phrase. "And, between you and me, two hundred years and more does a lot to
improve a man."
Faith laughed out loud, and Buffy joined in. She
was glad that things between her and her sister slayer could finally be the way
she had always wished for them to be. "Oh, B, its good to see you."
"Right back at ya," Buffy uttered, still smiling.
Faith said when she had calmed down, "did you bring the brooding man with
you, by any chance?"
"'fraid not. He doesn't want Wolfram
and Hart to know that he can walk in sunlight now. Thinks it might cause them
to step up their ante on us."
"Yeah, from what he and Wes
told me about them, I can understand why." Faith paused, just as something
else occurred to her. "He let you drive the Plymouth?"
"How did you manage that one?"
Buffy smiled wickedly. "I have my ways," she replied, causing Faith to laugh again. When they had both calmed down again, she changed the subject. "So, do you have a timetable of when this is gonna end for ya?"
Later on, when the sun had passed its highest point of ascendent, Buffy drove the Plymouth back down the highway to the interstate. She smiled as she entered the turn. Visiting Faith had gone even better than Angel had predicted. The two of them had gotten on like a house on fire, only this time without the literal meaning intended.
Despite their rather explosive parting almost a year ago, nothing
had changed their friendship. Admittedly, theirs' had been an odd one from the
beginning, but time apart and in each other's body's had brought them both a better
understanding of each other. Resentment and jealousy had given way, in favour
of a common destiny, and the discovery that they were more alike than either had
previously been willing to admit.
The required exit came up, and Buffy turned the car on to it. She had come to put- excuse the pun -a lot of faith in unconventional friendships recently. After losing what little remained of her family and her first fighting set of friends in Sunnydale, she had not expected to pick up some more as quickly as she had. But not only had they appeared, but they were also proving to be far better, and more truer friends than the first set had ever been.
Faith, Wesley, Cordelia, even Angel, all were older and wiser
than those back at the hellmouth. And the better for it. She had responded to
them, because she was old and wiser too, due to her experience in both towns.
As for Gunn, he reminded her a lot of a friend she once knew, back when Merrick
was her watcher, and she was refusing to see the benefits of slaying in L.A, while
Fred was proving to be a more worldly Willow, without the tendency to indulge
in the white, or black arts.
Buffy turned on to the road which the
Hyperion was situated on. She drove along until she saw the building, then parked
the car. Stepping out of the car, she smiled as her slayer senses picked out her
boyfriend's presence in the shadows of the entrance. She ran up the steps and
leapt into his arms. He returned her smile, and reached for her lips. She returned
the kiss wholeheartedly.
Five years, nearly six years as a slayer,
she had lived. But it was not until a grave raising night three months ago that
she had actually started to live.
She had come home.
The mist finished acquiring its shape and form. After taking a look at its new
surroundings, the form gave a small nod of acknowledge to its Aladdin. "My
thanks for the rescue. Now, what can I do for you?"
Lilah Morgan
smiled and leaned back on her desk. "I think you know that already,"
She replied.
"Indeed I do," Sahjhan answered.
To Be Continued In....

Arkansas medical cannabis sales expected to launch in 2018
Arkansas residents with qualifying medical conditions will be able to begin purchasing medical cannabis in early 2018. The 2016 law lists 18 medical conditions eligible for treatment with medical marijuana, and based on those conditions, it's estimated that more than 540,000 Arkansans will be eligible to purchase medical marijuana, according to Arkansas Center for Health Improvement (ACHI).
With implementation of the medical marijuana program imminent, Arkansas has been quick to outline the process and guidelines for businesses looking to enter the state's medical cannabis market.
Early projections for medical marijuana sales in Arkansas
Arkansas officials project that approximately 1 percent of the population — or between 30,000 and 50,000 residents — will sign up to participate in the medical marijuana program within the first three to five years. With that in mind, the Arcview group, an investment firm for the cannabis industry, estimates that annual cannabis sales in Arkansas could be between $30 million and $60 million within the first few years of implementation.
Legalized in 2016 with the passage of Issue 6, Arkansas's medical marijuana program will be open to people with ALS, Alzheimer's disease, cachexia/wasting syndrome, cancer, a chronic or debilitating disease, Crohn's disease, fibromyalgia, glaucoma, hepatitis C, HIV/AIDS, intractable pain, multiple sclerosis, peripheral neuropathy, PTSD, seizures, severe arthritis, severe nausea, severe and persistent muscle spasms, Tourette syndrome, ulcerative colitis or any other medical condition or its treatment approved by the state health department. To be eligible to purchase medical marijuana, patients must submit a written certification to the Arkansas Department of Health from an Arkansas-licensed physician stating that they suffer from an applicable disease. The law also allows designated caregivers to enroll in the program to assist the physically disabled and minors.
With home growing of medical marijuana prohibited, the implementation of medical marijuana in Arkansas means that the state must set up a network of private businesses to grow, process, test and see medical cannabis in the state.
Entering Arkansas's cannabis market
Arkansas began moving quickly to establish its medical marijuana market, forming the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Commission less than a month after voters approved the state's medical marijuana amendment, and the commission has been quick to establish the guidelines for medical marijuana business operating within the state.
Under guidelines set by Arkansas's newly formed Medical Marijuana Commission, five cannabis cultivation facility licenses initially will be granted, one in each of the state's five health regions. The commission' leadership has been firm that five cultivators is a starting point for the state, and more licenses are expected to be administered once the program is fully operational. Additionally, the commission has decided that it will grant 32 dispensaries evenly spread through eight geographic zones. Under commission regulations, those dispensaries will be allowed to operate between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. daily, and they will be allowed to deliver medical cannabis to patients the same day it is ordered.
Arkansas began accepting applications from potential cannabis cultivators and dispensaries on June 30, 2017, and the application period will remain open through Sept. 18, 2017. As of Aug. 24, 2017, the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Commission confirmed that it had so far received two medical cannabis dispensary applications.
Arkansas does have strict application guidelines for medical marijuana cultivators and dispensaries. Those who wish to be granted licenses to grow and sell medical marijuana in Arkansas must be able to prove financial solvency and the ability to operate a successful medical cannabis business, and that majority stakeholders in their business are long-time residents of the state.
Based on the bond forms for cultivation facility and dispensary applicants recently released by the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Commission, applicants must adhere to the following guidelines:
- Per the amendment approved by voters, an owner can have interest in one dispensary and one cultivation facility only.
- Applicants must demonstrate that 60 percent of the ownership interest in the medical marijuana facility is held by a resident or residents of the state, and those residents must be able to show that they have resided within the state of Arkansas for at least 7 consecutive years.
- Working capital/ escrow/bond requirements for cultivators dictate that applicants must have $1 million in bonds or assets worth $1 million and the ability to demonstrate $500,000 in cash liquidity.
- Based on legislation passed by the state's general assembly, the distance between a medical marijuana facility, measured from the primary entrance of the medical marijuana facility to the nearest property boundary of a public or private school, church or daycare center, must be at least 1,500 feet from a public or private school, church or daycare center for dispensaries, and at least 3,000 feet from a public or private school, church, or daycare center for a cultivation facility.
Arkansas's medical cannabis laws also allow cities, towns, and counties to pass "reasonable" zoning restrictions on dispensaries and cultivation facilities. Localities are only permitted to completely ban the operation of medical marijuana facilities through a popular election pursuant to Arkansas' initiative process.
Texarkana set the stage for localities across the state by serving as the first municipality to formally pass local regulations for medical marijuana companies operating within its borders. The regulations, approved by Texarkana's board of directors, established the rights of medical cannabis companies to conduct business within Texarkana's borders.
Arkansas's medical marijuana market outlook
Arkansas's leadership has been quick to establish the guidelines and process to get its medical marijuana program up and running in early 2018. With an initial 32 dispensaries and five cultivation licenses up for grabs, there are ample opportunities for plant-touching companies looking to enter Arkansas's medical cannabis market. On top of the easy-to-follow business guidelines, the state stands to see strong participation in its medical cannabis program, thanks to the extensive list of qualifying medical cannabis conditions and the inclusion of intractable pain on that list.
Fees and taxes
|Dispensaries – $7,500 Cultivators – $15,000
|Stand-alone dispensaries – $2,500 (new); $10,000 (annual renewal) Dispensaries with cultivation – $25,000 (new); $32,500 (annual renewal)

Some negligence from the game developers of the passage of time in the Ace Attorney series has produced several inconsistencies in age and birthday reckoning in court record and organizer profiles. These phenomena include similar birthday ranges for major characters as well as age reports that outright contradict each other.
Blatant contradictionsEdit
- On Feb. 16, 2012, Miles Edgeworth was 20 years old. However, on Mar. 20, 2018, six years later, his age was recorded as 25.
- On October 23, 2027 Phoenix Wright was recorded as being 34 years old, and on Oct. 10, 2026, his age was recorded as 33. However, on October 12, 2018, his age was recorded as 26.
The main reason for these contradictions is that the game developers did not consider birthdays when putting down the ages of the characters. Instead, they treated the non-flashback cases of each game as constituting a specific "year", and characters did not age during that "year". This mindset would cause problems when the games began to straddle the new year.
To resolve these issues, this article proposes that editors conform to the attitudes of the developers. However, ages listed in court records will be treated as ages that the characters will reach by the end of the "year" of the game. One could think of it as a school-year type of arrangement.
For example, if we take Miles Edgeworth's birthday to be in November of 1992, he would be going on 24 in Turnabout Sisters. In Turnabout Goodbyes, he would be actually 24, and in Rise from the Ashes, he is still listed as 24 (and is actually 24), even though he would turn 25 in 2017, because RftA is in the "year" of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.
Characters with ages listed only in Rise from the Ashes, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Justice For All and Phoenix Wright's cases in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations will have two possible years of birth that correspond to the "years" in those games. This would apply to almost all characters to which this applies for the sake of consistency. For example, Moe is 46 in JFA (2017-2018), so his year of birth is listed as "1971-1972". Characters with ages listed in "flashback" cases and the other two games do not suffer from this phenomenon because Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney and the four original episodes in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney do not straddle the new year.
One could simply say that these "years" begin sometime between Mar. 23 and June 16, but this causes problems with Edgeworth's age issue.
Special casesEdit
One solution to Edgeworth's problem would be to say that Edgeworth wasn't quite 20 when he first prosecuted, but he would turn 20 during 2012 or the beginning of 2013.
Phoenix and PayneEdit
Judging by the profile age issues, the developers probably meant for Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney to take place in 2025, seven years after Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations in 2018. However, they made the mistake of setting the flashback case of Turnabout Succession to Apr. 19, 2019, and then setting Turnabout Trump to Apr. 20, seven years later, which would place the year of Turnabout Trump at 2026.
One solution would be to overlook the blunder and take Phoenix's age as 34 and Winston Payne's age as 62 in AJ. The main reason to go with this solution is that Edgeworth's court record profiles in Bridge to the Turnabout explicitly show that Larry is a year younger than Phoenix. This also avoids the stretch that one would have to make to claim that Phoenix, whose birthday would not be for at least nine months under the former solution, is going on 21.
Ema Skye suffers from the same issue that Phoenix does, except she doesn't suffer from blatant contradictions. Her year of birth could simply be taken as 2001 to account for both ages (as she is 16 in 2017 and 25 in 2026).
Franziska von Karma is specifically said to be the same age as Maya Fey.

After a leafleting tour through the Northwest in Spring 2013 I became Vegan Outreach's Northern California Outreach Coordinator. The past four years have been amazing, so please donate to help all of us at VO continue this focused high-impact work! Learn more about me on my VO profile and the summary of my Spring 2016 semester!Leafleting is the only sport I compete in (yes, leafleting is a competitive sport in my book), so for the past few years I've been updating Team Vegan donors about my backpacking trips... This year I started Team Vegan with a short one-night trip to Castle Rock State Park near Santa Cruz! It was a gorgeous 3-mile hike in to the Castle Rock Trail Camp, and photos are here.
