Various and sundry…
So, I have a lot of little updates, and finally am bucking down and writing something – dammit!
First, I would like to bring to your attention certain important happenings at Immeritus, just in case you don't have immeritus friended, or you don't live in Immeritus.org:
- We are asking for your opinions on what you think is working and not working in all three of our artistic forums here. It is in our lj community, with screened comments, so only the staff will see what you have to say. You needn't have an lj account, but that doesn't really matter if you are hearing about it from here. It is vital that we hear from you, and I would like to thank those of you that have already submitted your comments. I can't tell you how exciting that was for me to read.
- aoife_ife has launched a contest in JtC for all you proud
masochistsmembers. 😉
- Don't forget about The Immy Book Club! Book recs are happening right now, and the poll will soon be up.
- And have I told you guys lately how I love the Immy staff? They rock, don't they? I love you guys!!
- I am reading Wicked and have finally fallen into the groove of it. It is an interesting book, unlike anything I've read before, so I am enjoying it. I have to finish it before I move on to Eragon, which was selected as our next book club book with my friends here. I didn't make it to book club because I was sick, but I hope to make it next time.
- Tonight we are going to Claim Jumpers for a birthday dinner. Happy Birthday Jane! I am pretty confident she won't be reading this right now, so I will go ahead and tell you what I got her, but if you are reading this, Jane, I got her a Lightwedge Lumos Book Light. I love mine, and being both in book club, I thought she would really enjoy it. If you don't know what that is, google it. You too will fall in love.
- kaptainsnot, aka HRB is having her first art show next month, and luckily, it won't conflict with work. I was really scared that I was going to be working overnight that night, but I work it the day before, so that means that I will have the entire Saturday off after 8am!
- Speaking of work, I have to go in at 4:45 a.m. on Friday. Kill me now.
- Juan and I are thinking of taking up tennis. We'll see how that goes. (eek!)
And the sundry:
Dude, I picked up the February issue of Popular Science, and I can't believe I don't have the subscription. I was giddy just leafing through it. There were some amazing things and cool articles. I wish I could link you but the Feb Issue isn't up on their site yet.
- Hey you Londonites (or neighbors!). Next time you go to the London Aquarium, take a look at their cool Robot Carp! It swims around with the rest of the fishies and looks gorgeous!
- There is this new gadget that you literally point at the sky, look through, and it will identify what celestial body you are looking at. Couple that with a good telescope and you are set!
- They are starting this new form of racing that will make NASCAR look like a bunch of old ladies wheeling their carts around: Rocket Planes. Trust me, it looks cool. (And no, I am not a NASCAR fan)
Oh, and I couldn't resist the icon. It cracks me up because I have always hated the fact that my name starts with "magical" but I wouldn't want to get rid of it for fear of being called Obi. Thanks puckher!
ETA: How the hell did I miss taralrobertson's post about finding a Robbie Jarvis picture (as in young!James)?! Aside from it being a stupid picture, I dunno, this guy doesn't seem to have much flavor. Looks like a fill-in type of guy. I dunno how I feel about this.

I want to congratulate Brian Moncarz of Concord, Ontario for winning the Mellowtone Trumpet Fuzz pedal give-away! I'm really excited that these give-aways are happening, and if we continue to get the attention I don't see why can't keep these coming on a regular basis.
I wanted to send a special "thank you" to Phil at Fat Tone Guitars for generously donating the pedal for the give away. He is a top notch guy, a please to deal with, and if you're looking for some gear, you need to check out the online store or stop in! He is also on Twitter, so to keep an eye out for deals, please follow him at @FatToneGuitars.
I have a few new give-aways in the works for the near future, so please keep an eye out for them.

In my mind, there's nothing more exciting than a new partner. It's unchartered waters, as you fumble around and explore each other, like you've just been given a really cool gift and want to figure out exactly how it works. are they ticklish? Will they moan if I do this? Will this new person make my toes curl, in a way I always hoped someone would? So many questions! So much time to figure it all out! And, I imagine, that new partner feels the same way.
While there's nothing wrong with being in a long-term relationship, of course, the novelty in the newness of a new partner can be intoxicating, really intoxicating. That's why it feels like an addiction, because once you start falling for someone new the hormones pumping through you have the same effect on the brain as cocaine. The lust is there, tenfold, because the attachment phase has yet to set in, so, honestly, there's a good chance that when you're with someone new, you're totally insatiable. Which also means you want to have all the sex and in all the different ways you possibly can!
So, to get right down to business, here are 11 sex positions to try with a new partner.
1. X Marks The Spot
How to do it: While lying down on a flat surface (a table would be awesome), lift your legs, cross them at the knees, and have your partner penetrate you from a standing position.
Why you want to try it with a new partner: Honestly, despite the fact that table top sex doesn't get the love it deserves, it's really hot. There's an animalistic factor to it. Like you're so into each other, you can't even make it to the bed to have sex, which, is the case for the many new couples.
2. Spooning
How to do it: Lying side-by-side, in the spooning position, have your partner enter you from behind. It feels soooo good.
Why you want to try it with a new partner: Spooning isn't just intimate because of the cuddle factor, but it also prolongs sex. And, if this person is new, don't you want to take your time with them? Maybe even lock the door and have a sex fest for three days straight?
3. Doggy Style
How to do it: Assume the position! Meaning, get on your hands and knees, so your partner can penetrate you from behind while in a kneeling position.
Why you want to try it with a new partner: Studies have found that a lot of us are huge fans of doggy style. It's actually the preferred position for many. Since that's the case, how could you not have doggy style with your new partner? It's such a great position that you want to get it on the sex menu early on in the relationship.
4. Belly-To-Belly
How to do it: While facing each other, belly-to-belly, lift your top leg, swing it over your partner's hip, and let him penetrate you from there.
Why you want to try it with a new partner: This position builds intimacy and that's something you might want to explore early on with a new partner, to see if you're both on the same page when it comes to being intimate. As relationship and sex expert Dr. Kat Van Kirk, tells Bustle, "Belly-to-belly allows for full-body contact and makes sure that you look at each other during intercourse. It also gives your partner easy access to fondle your breasts, and makes it easy to kiss while you're having sex."
5. Doggy Style With A Toy
How to do it: Get into doggy style, then add a toy to the mix.
Why you want to try it with a new partner: My thing is that it's never too early to introduce sex toys into the bedroom. Whether it's a toy created specifically for couples or your favorite vibrator, using toys can only enhance your sexual relationship.
6. Side 69
How to do it: While lying on your sides, with your face both even with each other's pubic area, start to orally stimulate each other.
Why you want to try it with a new partner: Yeah, yeah, yeah... I know that for some, 69 is the worst. In fact, I've yet to come a cross a list of women's "favorite" positions and find 69 on there. However, it's a fun position that gets you both off at the same time and, again, is pretty intimate. It's also funny when you think about it and you want to be able to laugh during sex.
7. On Top
How to do it: Have your partner lie down, then get on top, while straddling their hips.
Why you want to try it with a new partner: For a lot of women, being on top means they can orgasm easier because they're in control of how they move their body to stimulate their clitoris. So if you want to climax with your partner, old-school style and sans toys, then you definitely want to get on top.
8. Standing
How to do it: While standing and facing the wall (away from your partner), have them come up behind you penetrate you from here. Please use that wall for stability.
Why you want to try it with a new partner: Similar to having sex on the table in the X Marks The Spot position, having sex while standing has the same, "We're total animals and can't get to the bed fast enough" appeal, which, as we all know, is hot AF.
9. Seated Back Bend
How to do it: For this one, you can start off on top and lower down as your partner sits up.
Why you want to try it with a new partner: Because look at you, you limber little show off! You're basically giving your new partner a look into all the fun things ahead.
10. Modified Doggy
How to do it: (Yes, I know this is the third doggy position on the list, but since it's a favorite, that's just the way it has to be.) Starting in doggy position, have your partner sort of move up, while you both lower yourself down onto your stomachs.
Why you want to try it with a new partner: Since this is my one of my favorites, if not my absolute most favorite, I have to put this on the list. Every time I meet someone new, to whom I'm sexually attracted, it's this position that crosses my mind and I can't wait to try it with them. It feels good, is really intimate, and an easy way to make doggy style even better.
11. Mutual Masturbation
How to do it: Pick a comfy spot and start to masturbate. Have your partner do the same, but make sure you're in plain view of each other.
Why you want to try it with a new partner: In addition to being intimate, more than anything, mutual masturbation is a learning session for both you and your partner. You're not just telling them what you want, but you're actually showing them. I strongly feel this is a very important position to cover early on in any relationship.
Although there's a very good chance that you'll make your way through far more positions with your new partner, because new partners are all about experimenting and exploring, these 11 positions are a great place to start.

Penalties and turnovers contributed to the Vikings football team's loss during the homecoming game against the Bakersfield Renegades 22-17 on Saturday.
This was the Vikings first homecoming game loss in five years, Head Coach Brett Peabody was not happy with the game's outcome.
"I don't like obviously the result because I hate to lose but I was proud of the way the team fought and competed," said Peabody, "the defensive got us the ball back with a chance to go score and win the game and we just didn't get it done."
Quarterback Jonathan Murphy rushed for five yards in the first quarter giving the Vikings their first touchdown.
Renegades Quarterback Jacob Irby completed a 70 yard pass to wide receiver James Holland scoring Bakersfield's first touchdown.
Kicker Nathan De Jager also scored three extra points for Bakersfield by a field goal from the 43 yard line. Renegades took the lead after the first quarter with a score of 10-7.
Running back Coach Jeff Evans felt the Vikings should have worked more as a team, "We have had our separation at times however some of those issues also come from individual players within the team. We are learning that trust," said Evans.
The Vikings came back during the fourth quarter with a touchdown made by running back Mason Bowen and a completed field goal by kicker Delgadillo bringing the score to 22-17.
The Vikings fought hard but could not score any more points allowing the Renegades to take home the victory.
Running back Pierre Robinson wants the team to score more when given the opportunity, "We don't score when we get in the red zone. Our offensive needs to score in the red zone," Robinson said.
Quarterback Coach Sean Flynn worries about the Vikings chances for playoffs, "We need a lot of help. It's virtually impossible for us to make it now but we still have a chance at a bowl game," said Flynn.
"We really just shot ourselves in the foot. We moved the ball down the field at will and it was a couple costly turnovers and costly penalties that were all on our end. It was us stopping ourselves which ultimately cost us this game," said Flynn.
The Vikings are set to play against Moorpark Raiders at Moorpark College on Saturday.

At Sport in Society, we use sport to tackle a lot of really pressing social issues. Here are some facts about a few of the issues that we face, how we use sport to address them, and how you can play a part in that work.
Men's Violence Against Women

*Girls and young women from various socioeconomic and racial backgrounds experience sexual harassment on a daily basis. (Stein, Nan. Sexual Harassment in School: The Public Performance of Gendered Violence)
*One in six college women reported being the victim of rape or attempted rape in the preceding year. (National Victim Center)
Diversity-Related Conflict and Violence
*Homicide is the second leading cause of death among young people ages 10 to 24 overall.

If you would like to write, receive or refer a recipient, please e-mail us for more information.
From Participants
"Writing letters is something I can do from home. It is a way to following Amma's teachings, a way to reach out to others, with love."
"Getting letters in the mailbox, full of support and positive messages, have been sooo wonderful, adding light to my day and letting me know that people are still here with me and I will be able to make it."
December 2018 - A Letter-Writer's experience
More than 10 years ago, I felt an inner calling to do selfless service as Amma has taught us. With two young kids and a demanding high tech job then, I often didn't have time nor energy to do any volunteer work. So I prayed to Amma to guide me to find some volunteer work that is flexible in schedule and can work from "home" and one that is meaningful.
I came across Circle of Love letter program in the Newsletter and on Amma's website. I was intrigued by it and contacted Sivamayi the program coordinator for guidelines and requirements. Soon I was a COLL writer. Initially, it was a struggle to find the "right" words to inspire or encourage or console the recipients. I was too green so to speak. I did some research and incorporated inspirational quotes and Amma's teachings and excerpts. Most of the times, I just prayed to Amma to guide me to write messages that would most benefit the recipient. I would not say I am an expert now writing letters as I am still at a loss of words relating to topics such as death. What I learnt from the comments and feedback from recipients that Sivamayi so kindly compiled were that as long as we put our heart and prayers in each letter, Amma will guide us to deliver the message that will help the letter recipients. There is no one or fix way to do it right.
Like Amma has said, "The fragrance always remains in the hand that gives roses...". Writing to someone in need of letters regardless of the reasons is rewards in itself.
I also feel very blessed to have received love and support when I asked to receive letters during hard times such as when my mom passed away... the warmth of outpouring love and friendships from the writers sustained me during these challenging times. I learnt not just to give but also to receive.
Throughout this process, I could feel Amma's love and blessings to one and all. Where there is love, there is life. It is truly a complete circle of love and I am incredibly thankful for the experience.

Read Genesis 42:1-38
"So when Joseph's brothers arrived, they bowed down to him with their faces to the ground" (v. 6).
He threw them into prison for three days. Caught completely off guard, when Joseph saw his brothers, he didn't know what to do, how to act, what to say, so he did what came naturally. He pretended he didn't know them and "spoke harshly to them" (v. 7). Reacting on impulse, Joseph at once made unreachable demands and threw his 10 brothers into prison.
How many of us have done the same? How many times have we acted on impulse when faced with a mountain we simply have no idea how to climb? Joseph's mountain lay directly in front of him, in the form of the 10 older brothers whose crimes against him initiated his 13 years of bondage. It was a mountain he had figured he'd already climbed. After all, he named his firstborn son "Forget" declaring that God had allowed him to forget "all (his) trouble and all (his) father's household" (41:51). Still, there sat Joseph, his forgotten perpetrators prostrate before him ready to do whatever he demanded, as long as he granted them the food he controlled.
It took him three days to realize the absurdity of his demands. Three days it took for Joseph to remember who it was that he feared. Whose plan it was that he trusted.
"On the third day, Joseph said to them, "Do this and you will live, for I fear God . . ." (v. 18).
That's when grace stepped in and changed the story. God turned Joseph's unconquerable mountain of forgiving his brothers into a helicopter ride to the top when Joseph took the time to remember the Lord God, the One he served. And Joseph decided to let the faithful, compassionate, full-of-grace God deal with his brothers. We see it in his reaction to their discussion about him, a conversation they had no idea he understood (v. 24). We find it in the provisions he gave them for their long journey home (v. 25). We even see it in his shrewd dealings with them, cautious to trust them entirely.
It's a story only God could write. A story of undeserved grace and forgiveness for the most shameful wrongdoing. It's the kind of compassion and mercy that can only come from God. When we let God's grace step in and forgive, we find ourselves climbing mountains of mercy we had no idea even existed.

Information given on CD is as follows:
This is incorrect and should read:-
This nicely packaged German CD is basically a reissue of the Another Chapter vinyl boot with a few tracks left out to make it a single disc. Unfortunately, for some bizarre reason, applause (probably taken from the Avalon show) has been included between every track. Presumably the idea was to give the impression of it being a live show but it's very irritating.
The sound quality is variable. Most of the items are now available elsewhere in better quality. For completists only!
If anyone is able to complete or update any of the information above, then please do get in touch.

Why we are the leading outfitter in Italy… because our guests say that!
Why our guests say that? Here our explanation:
We don't hunt an area "simply" because we can access to it, we hunt an area because it is the best Italy can offer on the specific hunt. How we select them?
- Privately owned: all our areas are owned by a single family, sometime since more than 500 years.
- Low hunting pressure: together we the owners and their restricted group of friends, we are the only one allowed into the hunting estate
- Conservation: a long-term view in the game management, aiming to conserve animals and environment over the centuries, resulting in a population density and trophy quality well above the average
- Environment: everything contributes to the "experience", the beauty of the landscape, the quality of the accommodation and people, the attention paid to our hunting traditions
- Ethical hunt: all our areas operates under severe ethical rules, promoting correct and sportive hunting behaviors, with a positive contribution to the local areas in terms of jobs and correct management of the meat.
We believe the best guide is the one who care the most about you: nobody cares about Italian Safari's guests more its owners. For this reason, Emanuele, Luca and Leone, partners of the company, guide all Italian Safari's hunts.
We built a solid reputation in under-promising and over-delivering. This reputation is proven by being the only Italian big game outfitter member of all major hunting organizations (SCI, DSC, HSC, CIC, Ovis) or by the articles and reports about us on many thematic publications as The Hunting Report or Grand Slam as well as the collaboration with some of the most important subjects in the hunting community. More than all of these, our reputation is based on our previous guests reviews, check them in our references page or ask us for contact details of some of them.
"In bocca al lupo!"

William Shakespeare's comedies were given a once over with a tickling stick yesterday when the "master of the chuckle muscle" gave a theatre audience his thoughts on the Bard's comic credentials.
Ken Dodd introduced himself to Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, where he was giving a talk as part of a Royal Shakespeare Company festival of comedy, as the Bard of Knotty Ash.
And the comic legend, who has been in the business for more than 50 years, maintains that we laugh today about the same things that tickled our ancestors' funny bones four centuries ago.
Speaking before a lecture at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, he said: "It's all about standing up there and exercising your chuckle muscle.
"The age-old topics that William joked about are still the subject of humour today. It's about men and women and thingy [sex], you know, and kings and queens and politicians and bishops. It's all the same.
"Mind you, he wasn't a gag man, William. Me, I'm an eyes and teeth man. But he had wonderful characters. He was absolutely amazing, supernatural."
"Doddy" made his Shakespearian stage debut as Malvolio in a performance of Twelfth Night in Liverpool in 1971 and starred as Yorick in Kenneth Branagh's big screen version of Hamlet in 1997.
"It was a small part," he said, "but enough to get a forsooth or two in."
The self- styled tickle inspector also revealed he borrowed the idea for his famous stick from jesters of old who carried a pig's bladder on a stick.
And he highlighted similarities between his Diddy Men and Shakespeare's clowns.
"People like me, we didn't even get the title of clowns," he mused, "we were called rude mechanicals."
The entertainer was giving a talk, entitled A Fellow of Infinite Jest, as part of the four-day RSC Laugh In to celebrate a season of Shakespeare Comedies running at the theatre.
Comedians, academics, comic book writers, "lads' mags", charities and hip-hop artists are all taking part in the festival, which explores the Bard's approach to comedy.
Organiser Fiona Lindsay said: "The aim of these events is to find resonances of Shakespeare's own approach to the business of being funny in contemporary works and unexpected places."
As for Doddy, who thinks there is a role for would-be Tory leader Kenneth Clarke as Falstaff and John Prescott as Malvolio, he signed off: "Tatty bye forsooth."

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – A crash closed northbound State Road 37/I-69 in Bloomington for several hours Tuesday, further complicating an already tough commute.
According to Indiana State Police and the Bloomington Police Department, the crash involved a semi truck on northbound SR 37/I-69 near the State Road 45/46 bypass. The crash was reported just before 6 a.m. The road reopened around 8:40 a.m., according to Bloomington police.
The semi struck the bridge overpass, according to the Monroe County Sheriff's office. The truck was carrying loaves of bread.
The driver of the semi told police he fell asleep while driving. His truck drifted across the gravel median and into the southbound lanes before striking the overpass.
The semi's roof was partially ripped off and bread slices were scattered across the highway.
During the closure, ISP diverted traffic onto the bypass and then north on Walnut, north on Old 37 then to Sample Road West and back on SR37. In a tweet, Bloomington police also recommended taking State Road 46 west to Spencer and then State Road 67 to get to Martinsville or Indianapolis.
A female passenger in the semi was taken to the hospital for head injuries. The driver was not injured.

Thinking everything has failed after struggling with infertility? Want the experience and bonding of pregnancy? There is hope through embryo donation. Many times during IVF there are remaining embryos available that are never used. Once couples have completed their family building they have the option to donate their embryos, offer them to research, discard, or to keep them frozen for an infinite period of time.
Here at FCO we offer all of those options and for those willing to donate their embryos we graciously work to find the perfect deserving couple to adopt them. Our service is an anonymous program, meaning neither party knows the other.
We ask couples willing to donate to do additional required testing, but this shouldn't be a deterrent. The cost of testing is covered by the center.
Embryo donors can feel relief that their embryos have the opportunity to live on and that they are giving the greatest gift to a couple wanting a child. Once all of the proper paperwork is completed the embryos are reassigned to the center and it is at the discretion of the center to select the appropriate recipient. Those adopting can have the hope of receiving the gift of a child and completing the wish of building a family.
If you are interested in embryo donation please contact our office and ask to speak to one of our coordinators for more details.

Five Years Later
Rarity awoke to the sound of birds chirping and the wonderful smell of apple pancakes being made on the stove wafting into her nose. The fragrant aroma helped wake her up as she imagined the tasty delights to come. She got out of her bed and stretched before spending a few moments to put her mane in her favorite style. It was being particularly difficult this morning as she had slept on it wrong. She had to pick up her curling iron, something she only used for hair emergencies, to get it to curl right. After a few minutes of what she would dramatically describe as combat with her hair, she finally managed to subdue her difficult curls so that they resembled something like how she normally styled her mane.
She harrumphed at her mane, but stopped for a brief moment to admire her cutie mark of three shining blue gems. She had received it only a few weeks after taking care of those nasty little foals five years ago. As such, she did not think it was mere coincidence that she had three gems on her flank. Three gems for three little foals dead by her hooves.
She giggled at the thought of her first kills, and how young and foolish she had been back then. It was still a surprise to her that she hadn't been caught. If the rainstorm hadn't come along to wash her creek clean of any taint, she would almost certainly have been found out. No, she was much more careful these days.
She sighed happily as she reached under her bed for her special box. It was nothing special on the outside, just a small container carved from an oak tree. Any outsider would wonder what the significance was. As a matter of fact, the contents would be a mystery to any snoopers too.
Rarity used her magic to lift the lid, revealing nothing more than a simple rock. She placed the box down and lovingly lifted the rock out of its resting place with her magic. She walked over to the center of her room where there was a clear spot on the floor. There was always a clear spot for her as she kept her room spotless at all times. Not much had changed in the last five years in terms of her cleanliness. If anything, thanks to her secret activities, she was much more into cleanliness than she was when she had made her first kills.
However, Rarity was thirteen now and had certainly gotten better at her craft. She raised the rock into the air and swung it down as hard as she could. It hit only air this time, but she would never forget the moments in time when the rock had connected with pony skulls. Giggling again, she gently put the rock on the floor next to her. She summoned the box closer and sat down. This was a ritual she had performed many, many times, and she always loved it. She was a big believer in taking pride in ones work, and the records of hers were the things she treasured most. She took the second item out of the box; it was a piece of wood that fit perfectly into the bottom. She pulled it out and examined it in her hooves. It was a perfectly carved square piece of wood with obvious exceptions; the square had nine gash marks in it. Nine gash marks, nine ponies.
She leaned back against her bed and ran her hoof down the marks. A teenaged couple walking in the woods. A new student who had called Cheerilee an idiot and was lured to Rarity's creek with the promise of meeting a classmate he had a crush on. A drunk stallion that was walking home alone one night. All had fallen to rock or knife, though, most of the kills were in recent years. Goodness knows she couldn't kill a full grown stallion at age nine.
She put the murder tally down and picked up the box. It was special to her, too. Both it and the piece of wood were carved from a fallen tree from her creek. The creek itself was still as beautiful as ever for her. It was her place to be alone with her thoughts. It was how she kept herself so thoughtful and organized. Everypony should have a spot like that, she mused.
As she twirled the counter in her hooves, further examining her marks, she took a deep breath. "Rarity... do you ever regret doing this? If you're ever caught then you will be killed."
Rarity scoffed and placed the counter back in her box. "No, I don't think so." Rarity giggled and placed the rock back in the box and snapped the lid shut. "It just makes me feel so alive!"
Rarity stretched her neck and shoved the box back under her bed. She fired up her horn and levitated a thick pile of newspaper clippings held together with a paper clip. She took the paper clip off of the clippings and began leafing through. "Besides, the results are far too interesting. I do this enough to feel good, but not so much that anypony suspects foul play."
She lifted up the first clipping, smiling at it fondly.
The funeral was held today for the three missing foals, two of whom were found dead in the Everfree Forest last week. Investigators believe that they were playing there and were attacked by timberwolves. Authorities urge the residents of Ponyville to stay away from the forest so that we may avoid such tragedies in the future.
The entire town gathered at Town Hall where the newly elected mayor gave a speech about what happened, saying that the community needs to band together during this time. Sources state that the parents of the filly, whose body was not found, are moving out of Ponyville.
A group of schoolfoals were interviewed after the funeral, and it is clear that the deaths of their classmates have affected them. "I feel really bad about them dying," said a crying foal named Cheerilee. "They didn't have to die!"
Rarity scoffed and shook her head. "I think I did you all a great service," she muttered. Rarity adjusted the clipping in her grasp.
Another of their classmates named Rarity was equally distraught saying, "We didn't like each other that much, but I didn't want them to die! Nopony deserves having that happen to them."
Rarity put the article down and giggled. It was such a marvelous performance. She even got a few tears in there.
Rarity put the clipping back on the pile and secured them with the paper clip again. She pushed the clippings back under the bed and pulled out a thick green book. She brushed some dust off of the cover and opened it to the first page.
Equestria's Monsters: Pony Serial Killers Throughout the Ages
Rarity grinned to herself and flipped open to one of the pages she had marked with a piece of cloth. No reason to not do a little light reading before breakfast if she was reminiscing.
The Canterlot Killer was a serial killer who rampaged throughout the capital city of Equestria seven hundred years into the sole reign of Princess Celestia. The first victim was discovered disemboweled in an alleyway a few blocks from the castle. All identifying marks such as teeth, mane, and cutie marks had been removed, making identifying the pony difficult.
Over the next eight years, thirteen such ponies were found disemboweled in alleyways close to the palace. It took using three of the palace's servants as bait for the Canterlot Killer to finally be captured eight years to the day after his first kill. Four days later, Princess Celestia herself publicly executed him by beheading.
Rarity clicked her tongue and turned the page. There was no need to have a traceable M.O. The only thing that should matter to a good serial killer was body count. Rarity's mind wandered back to her counter under her bed. Nine kills in five years. She'd beat the Canterlot Killer's body count yet.
A loud knock on her door brought her out of her daydreaming of times past as her mother called from the other end. "Rarity, breakfast is ready!"
"Coming!" said Rarity in a sing-song voice. She placed the book back under her bed and stood up. Rarity walked down the stairs of the house humming a merry tune. She was glad to have an upstairs room now. When she had gotten her cutie mark and found the stash of gems in the rock, another thing she thought was no coincidence thanks to her experience a few weeks prior, she and her parents were able to afford a lovely house in the main Ponyville area. It had been a house that was only available because a couple grieving the violent death of their daughter had moved out. Rarity laughed at the irony of it all.
She reached the bottom step and trotted over to the table where her mother and father were happily gazing into each others eyes. Each plate had a stack of apple pancakes on it. Rarity then levitated her silverware and dug into the pancakes. "Good morning, Mother. Good morning, Father. How are things with you this fine day?"
Rarity lifted her first bit to her mouth, but mother gently put her hoof on her daughter's shoulder. "Actually, before you dig in to this breakfast your father cooked, we have something very important to talk to you about."
Rarity cocked her head and put her fork down. "Why, Mother, whatever is the matter?" Her eyes shifted over to her parents who were still gazing into each others eyes. Something was off, that much was certain. They were never this open about their relationship at the breakfast table. No, they had something to say and it was going to be something big. "M-Mother I─"
"You're going to have a new little brother or sister, Rarity," said her father.
Rarity's jaw dropped. "There... there is going to be a new foal in the family? I'm going to be getting a new sibling?" Rarity sharply inhaled. "Mother, I... I don't even know what to say!"
"Your Mother's due in five months. Are you surprised?"
"Am I ever!" said Rarity.
Rarity's mother cocked her head. "Uh... are you happy?"
Rarity only had to think about the answer for a brief moment. "Am I ever!" she cried. She jumped up into the air with a squeal of delight and threw her forelegs around her mother. "Oh this is so wonderful! I can't wait to find out if it's a colt or a filly!"
"Based on the statistics... probably filly," her father muttered.
Rarity paid no heed to the comment and instead went over and hugged him too. "I'm sure we'll all be very happy either way."
She sat back down and began eating her pancakes. As she ate, she realized just how perfect life was for her. She had loving parents. Her gem finding spell meant that she was financially secure for life. Her clothes making skills were getting better each day, and she was already in a position to buy up an old building in town for the business she was planning to create. Nopony in Equestria suspected that she was well on her way to becoming the deadliest serial killer in history. Best of all, she had a new brother or sister coming.
Yes, life was beautiful.
* * * *
Rarity deeply exhaled and continued her pacing. Her family had been sitting down to dinner when her mother had gone into labor. Her father rushed her into the hospital, and she had been wheeled in to the E.R. Rarity groaned and looked over at the clock. That had all been six hours ago! She could only sit in the waiting room and count the seconds until someone came to get her.
She sighed and surveyed the spotless waiting room to see if there was maybe a fashion magazine in there that she could read while she waited. Her eyes landed on a stack of magazines lying on a table a few chairs away, and she trotted over to them and started searching for one she hadn't read yet. She groaned after a few seconds of searching. Nothing new was in the stack. One of them was so old that the fashion trends it had advertised had gone out of style. Taffeta capes indeed. Rarity chuckled at the silliness of it.
She did find one that she had enjoyed earlier in the week about an up-and-coming designer named Hoity Toity. Rarity was always eager to get news on him as he was well on his way to becoming the most influential designer in Canterlot, a title that Rarity dreamed that she would one day hold. She picked the magazine up and began leafing through it again.
However, before she could engross herself in the magazine entirely, she heard the most unbecoming voice behind her. "Well howdy do there, miss. You here waitin' on someone?"
Rarity glanced behind her and saw an orange pony with long blonde hair that was tied back in a ponytail with gaudy red hairbands. She had three apples as a cutie mark and seemed to be about Rarity's age. The mare had a large smile plastered over her face, but there seemed to be something a little... forced about it. It was a little too wide and didn't quite reach her eyes.
Rarity decided to ignore that for now and she cleared her throat. "Well, considering I am in a hospital waiting room, I think one can reasonably think the answer is yes," she said a little more coldly than she intended, but the other pony didn't seem to notice.
"Ah thought so." The mare extended one of her hooves in greeting. "The name's Applejack."
Rarity subtly examined the proffered hoof. It was cracked and dry, not to mention caked with mud from whatever kind of farm work this pony did. Rarity gingerly lifted up her hoof and shook Applejack's. "Oh yes, how do you do?" She forced her own smile. "My name is Rarity." After a quick shake of Applejack's hoof, she surreptitiously wiped hers on the foreleg rest of her chair.
"Well it's a pleasure to meet you, Rarity," said Applejack with a warm smile. "What's goin' on with you?"
Rarity flinched back as Applejack's loud voice surged through her ears, and she felt her dislike of the pony continue to rise. It wasn't because she was dirty, although there was that too, but she was just so loud and pushy. Rarity made a mental note to remember Applejack for... later events.
Rarity forced a smile on her face and motioned over to the double doors leading to the E.R. "Well, my mother is in the delivery room giving birth to my new brother or sister."
"Well congratulations!" Applejack cried. She seized Rarity's hoof in both of hers and began shaking it vigorously. Her smile even flashed with a little sincerity for the briefest of moments.
Rarity's forced smile slipped into a pained grimace, and she pulled her hoof out of Applejack's grip. "Yes, thank you, Applejack. What are you doing here exactly if I may ask?"
Immediately, all of the happiness and vigor left Applejack's face as her forced smile fell. "Well, mah Ma and Pa were just in a carriage accident. They were crossin' the street and somepony didn't secure their carriage right. It rolled down the hill where it was positioned and..." Applejack's lower jaw wobbled and a pair of tears streaked down her face. "It hit 'em both. It was about ta hit me, but mah pa pushed me outta the way before it did. It hit him, and Ma couldn't get outta the way fast enough either. The docs 'round here are doin' their best to patch 'em up."
Rarity gave a fake gasp and put on the mask of sorrow that she had become so adept at wearing during tragedies. "Oh my goodness! That's horrible. Are they going to be alright?"
Applejack merely shrugged. "That's the worst part," she mumbled. "Ah hate not knowin'."
Rarity extended a hoof and put it on Applejack's shoulder. "I'm sure they'll both be no worse for wear in no time at all."
Applejack gave a small smile and wiped away her tears. "That's mighty kind of ya to say, Rarity. M-mighty kind indeed."
Applejack's tears started anew and she threw her hooves over Rarity's shoulders and pulled her into a bear hug. "Ah'm so scared for them!"
Rarity immediately stiffened up at this, but she still put a small bit of effort into wrapping one of her forelegs around Applejack waist as a sort of awkward hug. "I'm sure it will be fine," she said in her best attempt at a soothing voice.
"Thanks," said Applejack who continued to cry into Rarity's shoulder for a few more minutes. After a short while, Applejack managed to regain control and broke off the hug. "Ah... Ah'm sorry fer dumpin' on ya like that. Ah hardly know ya, and here Ah am tellin' you mah worst problems."
Rarity waved away Applejack's words. "It's no trouble," Rarity reassured her, despite the fact that she believed it was trouble for sure. "This awful thing is happening and you want to let it out."
Before Applejack could respond, a doctor came through the door to the waiting room. "Which one of you is Rarity?" he asked, surveying the two ponies.
Rarity bolted up, eager to be away from this sad mess of a pony. "I am, sir!" She had said that perhaps a little too fast, but Applejack didn't notice.
The doctor nodded and beckoned for Rarity to follow him and she eagerly rushed over to his side. "What happened, doctor? Are they okay?"
"Your mother and your new baby sister are doing just fine. You can go see them now. They're in room 12-A, just down the hall."
Rarity's ears perked up and a wide smile spread across her face. "S... sister?"
The doctor returned the smile. "Yes indeed. Congratulations, Rarity, you have a new baby sister."
Rarity jumped up and gave a shout of joy before bolting down to room 12-A. She burst through the doors and saw her mother holding a tiny bundle with her father's front legs wrapped over her shoulders. Rarity rushed over to her mother's side and saw the tiny filly in her arms. She was the same shade of white that Rarity herself was, and she had a pink and purple striped mane complete with a tiny horn on top of her head.
Rarity's mother gently nuzzled the tiny filly. "Isn't she just the most precious thing you've ever seen?" she whispered.
Rarity's eyes filled with tears of joy and she stroked her sister's mane. "Yes! Yes she is!"
Her mother extended her front legs and hoofed the newborn over to Rarity. Rarity gingerly sat on the floor and cradled her new sister. The unicorn foal shifted slightly in her blankets, but otherwise remained asleep. Rarity smiled fondly at her and kissed her on the head before looking up at her parents. "What's her name?"
"Well, we actually haven't thought of a name yet," said her father. "We were hoping for a little bit of input from you."
"Well, she's just a little sweetie, isn't she?" Rarity cooed. "I think that should be a part of her name, don't you think?" At that exact moment, a bell began to ring in the distance from the Ponyville Tower signifying that it was eleven o'clock at night. "Bell... Belle. Belle with an 'e' at the end means beauty, doesn't it? How about Sweetie Belle?" She looked expectantly up at her parents, both of whom smiled back at her.
"I think that's a wonderful name," said her mother. A doctor beside them nodded and went off to go make the birth certificate.
"Yes, Sweetie Belle," said Rarity softly. "My baby sister Sweetie Belle." Rarity relished this perfect moment in time and she almost wished it could go on forever. The doctor did trot back into the room after a few minutes, putting Sweetie Belle's birth certificate in a manila folder.
"I'm sorry, you three, but I'm afraid that one of you needs to go home for the night. Visiting hours are over, and the hospital only allows for one of you to stay with the patients."
Rarity nodded and gave her sister back to her mother. "I suppose that would be my cue to leave."
"Are you going to be okay, Rarity?" her father asked. "It's really dark out."
"I'll be fine, Father," Rarity assured him. "It's not like a small town such as Ponyville is dangerous, even at night. Besides, I've stayed by myself at home many times. You know that." Rarity stood up and motioned over to her mother and sister. "Your place is here with Mother and my new sister."
Rarity kissed Sweetie Belle's forehead one more time before walking out of the room.
As Rarity skipped down the hall, she hummed a happy tune and squealed in joy every now and again. "I have a baby sister!"
As she passed by one of the rooms, a noise entered her ears that sounded a lot like crying. She screeched to a halt and frowned. Yes, somepony was crying. In fact, the crying sounded vaguely familiar now that she thought on it. She swiveled her ear to see if she couldn't pinpoint the location of the sorrow. It seemed as if it was coming from the room right in front of her.
Upon further investigation of the door, she saw that it was slightly open and debated with herself for a moment. "You really shouldn't be snooping, Rarity," she muttered to herself. She began walking away before turning back with an eager grin. "Oh, but it's so much fun, Rarity!" She opened the door another inch and glanced in.
When she saw what was inside, her stomach clenched and she almost shut the door. She saw Applejack inside, her hooves wrapped around a sorrowful looking doctor. He was the same one who had gotten Rarity to tell her that her sister had been born. Applejack was weeping openly into his shoulder. Behind the two of them were two beds with two ponies covered by large white sheets. On a bedside table next to the closer body was a worn down Stetson hat. The doctor was muttering something to Applejack, trying to get her at least a little calm.
After a few minutes of this, Applejack managed to gain a little control and she broke away from the doctor. She walked over to the bed on the right and kissed the head of the pony underneath. "G... goodnight Ma," she said before walking over to the other bed. She repeated the action. "Goodnight Pa, Ah'll see you two... l-later then."
It seemed to Rarity that she was about to collapse on the ground and cry like a little foal, not that Rarity would have blamed her for such an action, but Applejack retained a surprising amount of control given the situation. Still, a few more tears flowed from her eyes as she began walking towards the door. Rarity was about to move, but saw that Applejack had stopped. Applejack walked over to the bedside table and grabbed the Stetson off of the table and placed it on her head. She turned towards the doctor. "Thanks for everythin', doc. Ah know ya did all ya could."
As Rarity moved away from the door, she was surprised to discover that she almost felt sorry for Applejack. She had seen this, of course. Her victims' families would act this way whenever their love ones would disappear, but for the first time, Rarity felt a small tear of her own roll down her face.
She continued trotting down the hall. "Should I kill Applejack, Rarity?" she whispered almost inaudibly. "I can't imagine what it would be like growing up without Mother and Father. If I reunited Applejack with her parents it would be a kindness to her."
She nodded to herself. "Yes, Rarity. It would be very kind to her indeed."
As she walked down the halls of the hospital trying to find an exit so she could plan for her attack on Applejack, she heard her name being called. She turned to see Applejack standing behind her. "Oh, hello, Applejack."
Applejack's mouth moved shakily, but no words came out. Then she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "H-hey, Rarity. How's yer mother? Did you get yer new brother or sister okay?"
"Oh... um, yes. My mother fine, as is my new baby sister. They're resting now." Applejack nodded and Rarity saw her jaw quiver once more. Applejack let loose a solitary sob and quickly pulled her hat over her eyes. Rarity slowly trotted over to the distraught pony and put a comforting hoof on her shoulder. "How are you, Applejack? I heard about your parents."
"Ah'm doin'..." Applejack took a deep breath and continued staring at the floor. "Look, Ah know this is too much to ask, seein' as how Ah hardly know you and all, but would you mind walkin' me home tonight? Ah... Ah gotta talk to somepony right now or Ah'll go nuts."
The corners of Rarity's mouth gently turned up in a smile. She knew just the spot to do it if she could just get Applejack there. She settled for giving Applejack a half-hug. "Of course, darling. You go ahead and talk about whatever you need to and I'll listen."
Applejack thanked Rarity and the two began walking towards Applejack's house. During the whole journey, Applejack talked about her parents. She talked about her favorite memories with them, how she hoped they were in a better place, and how she hoped they were proud of her. All the while, Rarity was leading Applejack to a spot in the woods where she often took victims for their final moments. Applejack was so wrapped up in everything that had happened to her that she didn't even notice. She just continued to blindly followed Rarity's lead.
Applejack continued to talk about her parents as the duo walked onwards, with Rarity chiming in with a comforting word every now and again, but Rarity's mind was really on how close they were to their destination. Just a little closer now, and this poor pony would see her parents again.
As they neared the spot, Rarity picked up a rock with her magic to use. Rocks were always messier than Rarity liked, but she hadn't had time to prepare anything else, so it would just have to do. Applejack didn't even notice that she was being led to her death; she just stared at the ground and kept talking. Rarity brought the rock closer, moving it in position for the kill. At that moment, something Applejack said actually made it into Rarity's ears. "Ah just don't know how mah baby sister is gonna' to grow up without parents."
Rarity immediately lost focus and the rock slipped from her magical grasp. "So sorry, did you say 'baby sister'?"
Applejack nodded. "Yeah, her name's Apple Bloom. She was only born a couple of months ago."
Rarity let out a tiny gasp. You have to call this off, Rarity. Think of how Sweetie Belle would react to finding out she had a big sister who died before she was born! Apple Bloom deserves a sister if she can't have parents.
The fire that had driven Rarity to this point to end Applejack's life immediately faded away, and she looked wildly around the clearing. "Oh my goodness, I think we may have taken a wrong turn somewhere. How do I get to your house again?"
Her question brought Applejack out of her misery for a second as she looked around. "Whoa, how did we get all the way over here?" she questioned. "Ah'll lead ya in the right direction. Ah guess we just lost our way for a bit there."
* * * *
It had been a few months since Sweetie Belle's birth, and life was just as good as Rarity had imagined.
Rarity had walked Applejack home and talking to Rarity seemed to do her a lot of good. Applejack had no idea how close she had come to death herself that night, nor would she if Rarity had anything to say about it. That wasn't something that others needed to know, after all.
Sweetie Belle and her mother had been discharged from the hospital a few days after that, and both of them were doing absolutely fine. Rarity marveled at the wonder that was modern medicine, as something as complicated as a pregnancy and delivery was considered simple in her time when even sixty years ago it was far more dangerous. However, there had been no complications with Sweetie Belle's birth, and both her and her mother were perfectly healthy.
On this particular evening, both of Rarity's parents were gone for the day. Rarity's father had work, and Rarity's mother had matters to attend to with work as well regarding maternity leave. As such, it was just Rarity and Sweetie Belle in the house today and at the moment, Rarity was in Sweetie Belle's room laying her down for her nap. To Rarity's delight Sweetie Belle was a very happy little filly, if a bit stubborn sometimes, but even in her stubborn moments, Rarity loved her all the same.
As she watched Sweetie Belle's tiny form breathe in and out, she heard a trio of sharp knocks on the door. Rarity froze and looked down at Sweetie Belle, expecting the sound to have woken her up. However, Sweetie Belle slept through the intruding noise.
Grumbling to herself things that foals should not be privy to, Rarity trotted down the stairs and opened the door to find a pony that she had never met before. He was dressed in a cheap suit and had a suitcase slung on his back. He was clearly selling something, despite the 'no solicitors' sign on the door of the house. Why in Equestria does nopony notice them? Rarity grumbled inwardly.
The solicitor smiled at Rarity when she opened the door. "Well good afternoon, miss. May I have just a moment of your time? I'm with the Fillydelphia Valley Corporation, and we're looking for a few ponies here in Ponyville to do a survey for our company regarding business prices and customer satisfaction. Would you mind if I asked you a few questions?"
Rarity forced a polite grin on her face. "Oh, no thank you. I am not interested."
She tried to close the door, but the stallion moved forwards a few inches, almost as if he was going to put his hoof in the door. "It would just take few moments, miss."
"I said─"
"Only a few moments and you will receive a twenty bit gift card for our business," pushed the solicitor.
Rarity inwardly gritted her teeth, but just as she was about to slam the door in this rotten pony's face, she was struck by an urge she had not had in a long time. Ooh, this one could be fun. She widened her venomous smile and adopted a sweeter attitude. "Well, I suppose it's okay if it really will just take a moment. Would you like to come in? I have some tea on the stove."
The solicitor smiled. "Why that sounds very lovely, miss...?"
"Oh, Rarity." Rarity inclined her head and bent one knee in a small curtsy. "My name is Rarity."
"Well, Rarity, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance," he said.
Rarity stepped aside and led him into the house. "Likewise. Now if you'll excuse me, I must go check on the tea."
"Take your time."
Rarity nodded and went into the kitchen. She opened up a drawer and pulled out a large vegetable knife. Rarity kept them sharp for occasions like this. Rarity trotted out of the room and back to where the intruder was. He was looking at photos on the mantelpiece. When he heard Rarity come in, he turned around with a smile. "Is that your new sister in the picture on the far right? I must say that she is─"
At that exact moment, Rarity clasped the knife between her hooves and stuck it directly in the solicitor's neck. He dropped to the floor immediately. It was an experience she had not had in months. She hadn't killed since she found out that Sweetie Belle was on the way. Despite her anger, it was absolutely marvelous. She hated to admit it to herself, but she had missed the rush that came with butchering another pony with her own two hooves.
"When. I. Say. That. I. Am. Not interested. I. Mean. Go away!" she screeched, each word incurring another stab wound. As she pulled the knife out after the last word, she heard a faint noise upstairs that was beginning to grow louder. Rarity dropped the knife and realized what the noise was. "Oh my goodness! Sweetie Belle!"
She started to run up the stairs when she screeched to a halt and turned back to the solicitor. He was long gone and was leaving quite the bloody mess. Rarity rationalized that he wasn't going anywhere and that her sister needed her attention right now.
She ran up the stairs and into Sweetie Belle's room. She gently picked up her crying sister and sat down on the floor so she could hug her tight. She began singing a lullaby in order to try to calm her down. "Hush now, quiet now, it's time to lay your sleepy head. Hush now, quiet now it's time to go to bed."
The soothing melody of her voice began to calm Sweetie Belle down and she stopped crying. Rarity nuzzled her sister gently and sighed in relief that her sister had calmed down until she looked down at herself. Both she and Sweetie Belle were covered in blood! Rarity held back a shriek of terror, and it took her a moment to realize that it was the blood of the solicitor and not Sweetie Belle. For a brief terrifying moment, Rarity had imagined that she had... No, she didn't want to even think about that.
She pulled Sweetie Belle into a tight hug and, despite every effort to the contrary, she began sobbing. "Oh, Sweetie Belle! I promise I will never, ever hurt you! Do you hear me? Big sister will never, ever hurt you!"

to_timestamp format in oracle example is a to_timestamp format in oracle document that shows the process of designing to_timestamp format in oracle format. A well designed to_timestamp format in oracle example can help design to_timestamp format in oracle example with unified style and layout.
to_timestamp format in oracle example basics
When designing to_timestamp format in oracle document, it is important to use style settings and tools. Microsoft Office provide a powerful style tool to help you manage your to_timestamp format in oracle appearance and formatting. A style can apply a consistent look across the whole document instead of having to format each section individually, in the style setting, you can make arrangement for section headers, body text font, header section font, paragraph spacing, color scheme for SmartArt, charts, and shapes etc. a customized to_timestamp format in oracle styles may help you quickly set to_timestamp format in oracle titles, to_timestamp format in oracle subheadings, to_timestamp format in oracle section headings apart from one another by giving them unique fonts, font characteristics, and sizes. By grouping these characteristics into styles, you can create to_timestamp format in oracle documents that have a consistent look without having to manually format each section header. Instead you set the style and you can control every heading set as that style from central location. you also need to consider different variations: timestamp format in oracle sql developer, timestamp format in oracle sql developer word, timestamp format in oracle millisecond, timestamp format in oracle millisecond word, timestamp format in oracle g, timestamp format in oracle g word, oracle timestamp format, oracle timestamp format word
Microsoft Office also has many predefined styles you can use. you can apply Microsoft Word styles to any text in the to_timestamp format in oracle document by selecting the text or sections, clicking the Home tab, and choosing a style in the Styles Gallery. Hover your mouse over the style, and you can see what the text will look like before you apply the style to it. Using styles helps you streamline the creation and editing of to_timestamp format in oracle documents, You can also make the styles your own by changing how they look in Microsoft Word. During the process of to_timestamp format in oracle style design, it is important to consider different variations, for example, timestamp format in oracle sql, timestamp format in oracle sql word, oracle default timestamp format, oracle default timestamp format word, oracle timestamp format string, oracle timestamp format string word, to date oracle format example, to date oracle format example word.

Monsignor Bartholomew Frawley (1904 - 2002)
Monsignor Frawley, affectionately known as 'The Mons',was born near Toowoomba in 1904 and when he completed secondary school, became a teacher. After three years he entered seminary training, being ordained as a priest in 1930.
He served as a curate and parish priest through the 1930s, becoming a chaplain and serving in the RAAF during WW2. His wartime service had him sheltering during bombing raids on several occasions and must have tested his faith to the limit. He was posted to Scarborough as parish priest in 1946 and set about his task of building a church and schools because he knew these were the best ways to make life rewarding and meaningful for his people.
He always encouraged the people of Redcliffe to put their problems before God and an answer would come. He was a great organiser and builder and eventually several schools and a church were in operation. He always reminded those who would praise him that 'It's 95% God's work and 5% your own.'
He was a simple and humble man living in very basic accommodation for many years saying that 'Money is needed for other things first'.
His personal interests were photography and music and he left behind a complete visual history of Scarborough Parish. Children loved him and surrounded him every time he came into the St Bernadette's playground, all hoping to be patted on the head. He had about him an air of dignity, strength, and tranquility and everyone felt comfortable in his presence. No one was in any doubt about the source of his strength.
The Mons had only one motivation in life and that was to seek the light of Christ and to serve God in his people. Eventually in 1973, one of the schools, Frawley College, was named after him. At his funeral in 2002, young people wore the uniforms of all his former schools and SCCC students formed a guard of honour for the man who had built their college and given it his spirit of prayer and working to the best of one's ability.
"It's 95% God's work and 5% your own."
Mons. Bart Frawley.

UCLA Falls to UC Irvine, 7-5
May 18, 2004
UCLA (29-25) dropped a 7-5 contest to UC Irvine (32-17-1) in its last home contest of the season on Tuesday night at Jackie Robinson Stadium. It marked the final home game for Bruin head coach Gary Adams.
UC Irvine scored early, posting two runs in the second and one in the third to build a 3-0 lead.
UCLA got on the board in the fourth when a two-out double from Matt Thayer turned into a run when Chris Denove drove him in with a single through the right side.
The Anteaters scored two more in the fifth frame on a two-run home run from Jordan Szabo.
UCLA would cut the Irvine lead to three runs in the bottom of the fifth when Ryan McCarthy's second double of the night brought Brett McMillan across home plate. He had reached on a single earlier in the inning. After five, UCLA trailed 5-2.
After Irvine added two more to its total in the top of the seventh, UCLA scored two in the bottom of the inning to bring the Anteater advantage to two runs. A one-out walk to Jarrad Page started the rally and a double from Preston Griffin put runners at second and third for the Bruins. Pinch hitter Billy Susdorf brought both runs home with a double down the right field line. McCarthy would be hit by a pitch to continue the one-out rally. Wes Whisler would bring Susdorf home on a fielder's choice to score the fifth Bruin run of the night.
Despite keeping Irvine off the board in the final innings, UCLA was unable overcome the Anteater lead.
Thayer and McCarthy both had two hits on the night, while Susdorf led the team with two RBIs.
The Bruins will travel to Washington for a three-game Pac-10 series this weekend. Friday night's game will start at 6:30 p.m.

Volume F
Crystallography of biological macromolecules

International Tables for Crystallography (2012). Vol. F, ch. 2.1, pp. 57-58
Section 2.1.5. Reciprocal space and the Ewald sphere
aLaboratory of Biophysical Chemistry, University of Groningen, Nijenborgh 4, 9747 AG Groningen, The Netherlands
A most convenient tool in X-ray crystallography is the reciprocal lattice. Unlike real or direct space, reciprocal space is imaginary. The reciprocal lattice is a superior instrument for constructing the X-ray diffraction pattern, and it will be introduced in the following way. Remember that vector S(hkl) is perpendicular to a reflecting plane and has a length (Section 22.214.171.124). This will now be applied to the boundary planes of the unit cell: the bc plane or (100), the ac plane or (010) and the ab plane or (001).
From the definition of , and and the Laue conditions [equation (18.104.22.168)], the following properties of the vectors , and can be derived:
However, and because is perpendicular to the (100) plane, which contains the b and c axes. Correspondingly, and .
Proposition. The endpoints of the vectors S(hkl) form the points of a lattice constructed with the unit vectors , and .
Our proposition is true if X, Y and Z are whole numbers and indeed they are. Multiply equation (188.8.131.52) on the left and right side by a.
The conclusion is that , and , and, therefore,
The diffraction by a crystal [equation (126.96.36.199)] is only different from zero if the Laue conditions [equation (18.104.22.168)] are satisfied. All vectors S(hkl) are vectors in reciprocal space ending in reciprocal-lattice points and not in between. Each vector S(hkl) is normal to the set of planes () in real space and has a length (Fig. 188.8.131.52).
The reciprocal-lattice concept is most useful in constructing the directions of diffraction. The procedure is as follows:

Last night saw 7 of us start a very unusual Napoleonic game,a look at the scenario will explain!
After a five minute discussion,both side drew up a battle plan,and the game started-this shows move number 1,with Hill deploying to protect the stream crossing against the majority of the Clans.
The British battle plan called for Hill to guard the crossing places,but he got carried away and actually crossed the stream just as the Clans arrived,and a mass brawl erupted!!-The Scots Greys were told in their note,that the Clans could not stand up to a charge-so we all expected the Clan in front of them to get Slaughtered-however the Greys decided to charge the approaching Hussars instead!Meanwhile things were moving along nicely across the whole of the board,with lots of movement,especially from Michael,who had decided to move the 3 Clans under his control,across the board to the centre-excellent stuff!
A "pensive-looking" French team-Paul has moved a number of his troops around the far flank-can Michael react in time?? Richard has got his troops into a good position,and is awaiting the French onslaught.
The out-flanking move is shown here,Michael did manage to get his infantry into square and his Hussars to move against the threat-however Paul's "demonic" dice throwing tipped the scales in his favour,and eventually the flank was won-but not without a good show from the French!!
Munro has devastated Hill's incursion over the stream-the Rifles have been seen off,the 92nd have been beaten in melee,and the Scots Greys have been forced to retire out of the game.
The central position is being fiercely contested,and it it needed was a forceful push from Brian's command-would he do something dynamic??
We'll have to wait to find out..........
The battle raged on in the centre and right flank-this was intense stuff-come on Brian!!
Paul's nice little out-flanking manoeuvre is now complete,and the Clans under Munro are exhausted,it looks like the end for the French "adventure".
This is a shot of Michael's troops in all kinds of "bother" and the rear of Brian's troops about to be "compromised"-well done to all who took part-it's difficult when an unusual game like this is played,it requires a bit of give and take,and acceptance that unusual things and situations will arise.
Roll on Thursday,Brian and I will be playing in the morning,but,as Paul is flying off to Crete tomorrow,we probably won't be playing at night(?)

Ahhhhh. We love our Miss Laura Vegas, do we not? Laura has been here at KBS for two years now. What??? Girl? Really. Has it been that long?
Well, all I can say is that I've loved having you here for every single day. :)
Now, you just knew Laura would have something fabulous to share with us this week, didn't ya.
Check it out.
Oh my gosh! Look at all those photos on one page! That is my favorite thing about photo templates. Let's you get so many photos nicely and neatly laid out on a page. Another great one Laura!
Here's what Laura has to say:
When it comes to scrapbooking my girl's birthday parties, it's really all about the photos. That's because there's usually a TON of photos that I want to use, and I try my best to get as many on the pages as possible. This is where Kerri's storyboard templates come in really handy. They allow me to get a large amount of photos onto a page, while keeping it looking clean an organized. For this layout about my youngest daughter Sarah's 11th birthday party, I kept the overall design pretty simple. I had a group photo that I thought would look great enlarged, so I had it printed as an 8×12 and used that on the first page of the spread. I used a full 12×12 photo collage on the second page of the spread, which allowed me to use 14 additional photos. I absolutely love the look of using a cleaner block font along with a cursive font for my titles. I've been using Kerri's Weathered Door alphabet kit a lot lately, and pairing it up with different cursive handwritten words from Kerri's other kits to create my titles.
I thought it would only be appropriate to do a little flashback during this birthday celebration and share some really great things Laura has shared with us over the past two years. To see more details about each project, just click on the image and it will take you to the original post.
I think those tear-away envelopes are one of my very favorite shapes I've made
and I love how Laura used it here!
More great use of photo templates along with my very favorite tone-on-tone with the diecuts!
Love, love, love this idea!
This will be here before you know it.
Love the super-sized half spider web!
Lots of traveling going on right now.
Great idea!
Goodness gracious. There are just too many fun things to share!
If you want to see more from Laura, use her link under the Categories tab to the right.
Thanks so much for all you do Laura! Love ya dearly!

Win a copy of the 4k restoration of Donnie Darko on DVD
Preview by Jack Foley
To celebrate the brand new 4K restoration of Donnie Darko – out on January 9, 2017 on DVD & Blu-ray – we are giving away a DVD of the Theatrical Cut courtesy of Arrow Video.
Fifteen years before Stranger Things combined science-fiction, Spielberg-ian touches and 80s nostalgia to much acclaim, Richard Kelly set the template – and the high-water mark – with his debut feature.
Described by its director as "The Catcher in the Rye as told by Philip K. Dick", Donnie Darko combines an eye-catching, eclectic cast – pre-stardom Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal, heartthrob Patrick Swayze, former child star Drew Barrymore, Oscar nominees Mary McDonnell and Katherine Ross, and television favourite Noah Wyle – and an evocative soundtrack of 80s classics by Echo and the Bunnymen, Tears for Fears and Duran Duran.
This brand-new 4K restoration, supervised by Richard Kelly, allows a modern classic to finally receive the home video treatment it deserves.
Win a copy of the 4k restoration of Donnie Darko on DVD
