Rumor: Panasonic investigating the possibility of buying Leica?
We mentioned this rumor yesterday in the PMA 2009 rumor page, but it has now picked up discussion-momentum - see Wouter's blog for three more new discussion points.
To summarize, one forum user said that they were told by a serious banker that Panasonic was investigating the possibility of buying the photography parts of Leica.
Of course Panasonic has just announced rather disappointing financial results, with layoffs, and not so long ago they bought Sanyo, so why would they be investigating the possibility of buying Leica? Well, there can be a number of business reasons for doing so.
If you think that doesn't make sense, take a few minutes to investigate how many big companies have been absorbed by today's Hewlett Packard in just the last ten years.
Again, please note that this is only a RUMOR.

This comes up quite a lot but the simple answer is yes. given your location, all our fuel comes from grangemouth, the only difference is the big names have more chemicals added to theres at the refinery.

I make this recipe as a dinner party app all the time; it's fabulous ! It's incredibly easy to make and very tasty. For wine pairing go with a Gewürztraminer.
Tuna Tartare in Endive with Horseradish Sauce
Since it will not be cooked, purchase sushi-grade tuna from your local fish market. It should be firm, shiny, plump, and bright red with no fishy odor. Keep the tuna mixture well chilled, and assemble the appetizers just before serving. The tuna can also be seared, if you prefer: Cook the whole fillet in a pan over high heat for 1 minute on each side; cool and cut into 1/4-inch cubes. If you're a fan of wasabi, substitute wasabi paste for the horseradish.
Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 3 filled leaves)

- 2 teaspoons extravirgin olive oil
- 1 (8-ounce) Yellowfin tuna steak (about 1 inch thick), cut into 1/4-inch cubes
- 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
- 24 Belgian endive leaves (about 4 heads)
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives (optional)
- Combine first 8 ingredients, tossing to coat; cover and chill. Combine yogurt, juice, and horseradish, stirring well. Spoon about 1 1/2 tablespoons tuna mixture into each endive leaf. Drizzle each filled leaf with about 1/2 teaspoon yogurt mixture. Garnish with 1 tablespoon chives, if desired.
- Wine note: The big-flavored meatiness of the tuna combined with the pizzazz of the capers and lime juice require a wine that is equally dramatic. My choice: Alsatian gewürztraminer. Bold, spicy, and aromatic, gewürztraminer also has a rich, almost lanolin-like texture that's superb with meaty fish. Try Domaine Weinbach Gewürztraminer 2002 (Alsace, France), $29. Powerful yet elegant litchi, spice, rose petal, and ginger aromas and flavors are followed by a texture that's silky and soft. -KM

What the Amish Can Teach Us about Family Life
- Monday, September 26, 2011
Enjoy nature and take good care of it. Just as Amish people spend lots of time outdoors in God's creation and try their best to treat it with respect, you can spend time in nature whenever possible (from hiking to picnicking), teach your children how to take good care of it (such as by taking care of animals as pets), and model creation care for them by making environmentally responsible choices for your household (such as conserving energy and recycling).
Pray for and with each other often. The Amish follow a pattern of praying for each other as they go through each day, and also praying together during regular family prayer times. Incorporate prayer both for and with your family into each day.
Take your marriage vows seriously. When Amish people say marriage vows, they see those vows as promises made to God rather than just their spouses, so they make every effort to be faithful to those vows and rarely break them. Give your own marriage as much commitment and effort.
Discipline firmly yet gently. Hold your children accountable for their actions, and when they misbehave, discipline them. But instead of venting anger on them (such as by yelling at them), ask God to help you remain calm like Amish people strive to do when disciplining their children. The balance of accountability with gentle respect will encourage your children to learn better ways to behave.
Place your trust in God's sovereignty. Amish people believe that God knows what's best for them, so when situations don't work out as they'd hoped or planned, they have faith that God is working out good purposes through those situations – even when they're difficult to go through. Ask God to give you the faith you need to trust in His sovereignty for your family's life together. When you catch yourself worrying, pray about your concerns and trust God to do what's best in response.
Forgive. When people sin against them, the Amish follow God's command to forgive with His help, and trust God to bring about justice in His own way and timing. Remember how much God has forgiven you, and let the gratitude that you feel for God's forgiveness motivate you towards forgiveness in all of your relationships – with family members and others.
Let your children grow up. Amish people work to prepare their children for productive adult lives by giving them age-appropriate opportunities to take on new responsibilities, make their own decisions, and learn from their mistakes. Be willing to let go of your children gradually as they grow, while teaching them to work hard and think critically about the situations they encounter. Keep in mind that when you let go of your children, you invite God to take hold of them and work powerfully in their lives.

Pirate!SpainXRomano - PretendingChapter 1--Spain's POV--Spain was holding a sword to a group of people. They were all scared of the pirate. All the Spaniard wanted was the treasure that was hiding in the town."Give me the treasure!" Demanded Spain."W-We can't..." Replied a woman that was standing in front of a boy.The boy looked about 7 years old, and wore a plain white shirt with blue jeans. He had brown-ish hair with a curl going toward the right. Spain noticed that he was acting tough. The Spaniard then motioned his crew toward the small child."If your not going to tell me then I will take that boy hostage!" Spain yelled as he pointed his sword toward him.Some of the villagers gasped, but to them losing a child is better then their treasure. The little boy stiffen as one of Spain's crew members walked over holding a gun."The captain wants you to come with us.""No! I'm not going!" The boy said, glaring.The crew member grabbed the little boy's wrist roughly and jerks him away from the crowd."No! Le
Pirate!SpainXRomano - PretendingChapter 2--Romano's POV--Romano was walking around town, when he heard a familiar voice."My crew will love these tomatoes..."He looked over to see a brown-haired curly man. He had a nice tan, so he could tell he wasn't from here."I guess vacation is done now," The man sighed, "Time to go back to sea..."'Sea...Is he a pirate?' Romano questioned.Out of curiosity, he followed the man down to the docks. It wasn't long before one of his crew members spotted him from the ship."Hey Spain!" The guy waved, "We just got a new gig!"'Spain..?' Romano thought to himself, 'That name...Where have I heard it before?'Somehow Romano managed to sneak on the ship. He watched the tall man carefully."Everything is looking okay..." The man said looking around.Romano shifted his weight, hitting his foot against the barrel he was behind. This made the man look over in surprised."Wait...Who are you?""Ahh...""Your not suppose to be on this ship..." The man walked over with his voice deepeni
Pirate!SpainXRomano - PretendingChapter 10--Romano's POV--The brothers made it back home in one piece. They made sure to stay hidden in case that England's crew came back. The living room was quiet when they entered, but there was a beeping sound. Romano walked over to the answering machine and pressed a button."One missed called from (number). At 9:34 this morning.""The potato bastard called..." Romano said frowning.Italy blushed, "He must be worried..." He walked over and grabbed the phone. Romano dragged himself in the kitchen, not wanting to listen to his brother's loud mouth. He got comfortable at the table and laid his head on the cold surface.'I guess Veneziano was right...I do like him...but...I've held it against him for years...How can I just forgive him and let it go?'Romano closed his eyes and listened to the sound of the clock in the kitchen. He didn't know how many minutes went by before Italy came in with a troubled expression, "Germany was mad..."-----A few days later, Romano wanted to
Pirate!SpainXRomano - PretendingChapter 5--Romano's POV--A few weeks have passed since Spain moved in. Italy was reading a book."This book...It's hard to understand..." Italy complained."What did you expect? The potato loving bastard gave it to you." Romano commented. The small Italian frowned."You're always mean to him..."Italy sighed and closed the book. Spain came through the door, "I'm back~ Guess what. I got my first pay check today~!""Really?" Italy asked with wide eyes.Spain showed them the check, "Mmhm!""That's fantastico!" Italy cheered."Good...You'll get to leave quickly..." Romano butted in.Spain frowned at this, "Well I guess..."Italy looked at Romano sadly then back at the Spaniard, "Have you gotten use to life here?""Very much! All the people here are so nice."This made Italy smiled.--Spain's POV--Spain watched Romano head for the kitchen. He notices that he does this when Romano is angry. The Spaniard felt a bit of sadness. He tried everything to become friends with him. Romano w
Pirate!SpainXRomano - PretendingChapter 4--Spain's POV--The smell of pasta filled the air as the shirtless Spaniard walked down the stair to the source."It smells good..."Spain smiles as Romano looked at him. He turned his head away, "Veneziano will be back soon..""I see..."Romano fixed two plates and set them on the table, "Eat...""Oh Thank you!"Spain took a seat and started eating."Yea...Yea..." Romano said not sounding happy. He sat in front of Spain and ate quickly."I don't really remember anything that could upset you unless you got mad at me for yelling at you for being on my ship."Romano glares at Spain, "You're really good at pretending.""Eh..?"Spain shrugged it off and continued eating. It got quiet again. Romano sighed as he got up. Spain looked up at him. Romano started to wash the dishes. The Spaniard got up and walked over with his plate."Want me to help?""I don't care..."Spain helped rinse the dishes and put them in the tray. Once they were done they dried off their hands. This wa
Pirate!SpainXRomano - PretendingChapter 6--Spain's POV--A few weeks have passed. Spain would bring in a fresh batch of tomatoes every week. Of course this week he brought more home."Welcome back Spain! I see you brought more tomatoes~""Si~!" Spain happily walked into the kitchen and placed the basket on the table. Romano walked in about around the time when Spain was putting up the tomatoes, "Oh Romano! Do you want a tomato?"The Italian looked over curiously before replying, "Sure..."The Spaniard's eyes lit up in hope when Romano grabbed a tomato."I guess I will get one too~" The younger Italian also grabbed one.Both the twins ate their fruit. Spain smiled."Oh! I almost forgot! I'm going to spend the night with Germany." Italy blurted out."Again?" Romano said with some anger."You really like Germany huh?" Spain questioned.Romano looked away, "I don't see why..."Italy smiled, "You and Spain can go somewhere!""Aw, Hell no!"Spain looks at Romano."I refuse to go out with this bastard," Romano cross
Pirate!SpainXRomano - Pretending - Chapter 12Chapter 12--Romano's POV--Romano woke up to an empty bed the next morning. At first he was confused but remembered that he was at Spain's house."Mmmm..." He sat up, feeling very sore, "Ow..." Romano rubbed his lower back as he got up to find his pants. He picked it up and slide them on. This was when he smelt food. It made his stomach growl.'Oh...Spain must be cooking breakfast...' He held his stomach and walked out the bedroom and to the kitchen. There was Spain...naked... with only an apron on. He rubbed his eyes. Spain turned around and gave him a big smile."Good Morning~""Good Morning...""Breakfast is almost done~"Romano sat down and looked at his lap, trying to hide the blush that came to his face, "O-Okay..."Spain walked over and placed a plate in front of him."Grazie," Romano said as he picked up the fork and started eating. Spain sat beside him watching him eat."So...What are you going to say to Italy?" The Spaniard questioned."I'll tell him I spent the night
Pirate!SpainXRomano - PretendingChapter 9--Spain's POV--Now at Spain's apartment, the Italians looked around. Romano had a pained look on his face as he rubbed his wrist. It seems they are hurting him. Spain walked over to a box that wasn't fully unpacked. He pulls out a tube of medicine, "Romano..?""Hm..?" Romano looked over, "Um...si?""I have some medicine to help with the burns...""O-Okay..." Romano looks at the tube."Please hold out your wrist," Spain smiled. Romano nodded shyly and held out his wrist. The Spaniard then began to apply the medicine. Italy smiled as he watched.--Romano's POV--The medicine was rather cold against his wounds but it felt good. Spain was so gentle. It made Romano blush. The Spaniard removed his hands, "Does it feel better?""Grazie," Romano smiled."Romano your face is red~" Italy beamed."S-Shut up!"Spain and Italy laughed while the older Italian face palmed."Well I better start cooking now~" Spain got up, smiling.Romano puffed out his cheeks, "You better..." As soo
Pirate!SpainXRomano - PretendingChapter 7--Romano's POV--Romano was staring at the wall. He was happy that the Spaniard was gone. The Italian rolled over and sighed. Was this what he wanted? He was feeling so many emotions right now."I'm home, Romano!" He heard his brother's voice. Romano just laid in bed, unmoving as he heard the footsteps getting closer to his room. The door opened and the lights flipped on, "Romano~ It's time to get up." Italy walked over, "I noticed Spain isn't here. Did he-""He left..." Romano said, cutting off his brother."He left?" Questioned the small nation."Si...""why?"Romano looked up at Italy, "Do you even realize who he was Veneziano?""No..." Italy tilted his head."He was the man who raped me when I was little."Italy's eyes widen, "I'm sorry...""Don't be..." Romano sat up.Italy sat down beside Romano, "You really shouldn't hold it against him. It was years ago." This made the older Italian growl."I mean...You seem to like him-""No way in hell!" Romano yelled, making
SpainXRomano~Turtle Race~Crack In the afternoon of the last summer, you were with one of your friends Emmy. One that day, spain was out on holiday, and wanted you to watch over his two turtles. But its was beautiful day you didn't want to be inside with the turtles, so you took them out with you. You and your friend were outside in the middle of spain's giant backyard under a tree. It was such a beautiful day but the only problem was, there was nothing for you guy to do. But then, a thougth came to your head. 'We have to turtles! when would be the next time we could ever do this.' 1 hour later, after you all got ready, the show was about to begin."Welcome ladys and gentlemen to the first ever Hetalian Turtle Race! Oh god do I have to say the rest!" England aksed. "I mean its just you and your friend racing Spain's turtles." He said feeling annoyed with it. "Its not just racing turtles, there Hetalian turtles." You said to your Boyfri
SpainxRomano: Birthday Spain sat in silence in wait. A small smile was on his face in wait. Romano who was sitting on the other side of the table who was enjoying a nice breakfast looked up at the Spanish man and scowled,"Why the hell do you look so happy?" Spain's face fell a bit. He didn't remember what today was? He smiled again, a bit more upset than before,"W-well Romano...isn't today special...? For something? Or someone?" He took another bite of his breakfast before looking at him with a bit of anger in his eyes,"What the fuck are you getting at?" Spain sighed and gathered himself from the table a bit upset his best friend couldn't even remember. "Nothing Lovino..." He said a bit upset before walking out of the room in a mopey heap. Romano immediately noticed this, seeing as how he didn't get all touchy-feely this morning and the fact that he didn't use 'Lovi' but rather, 'Lovino'. He finished his food quickly, a bit concerned about Spain now. He knew there was somet

He checked his tone, making sure it was soft enough as he knelt on one knee. He did so almost hesitantly; the suit he wore was rather expensive. "Lovi
" He whispered tenderly, taking no notice of the changing expression of the younger man in front of him. "Mi vuoi sposare
?"Lovino, who was sitting at the table in the restaurant, looked down at the Spanish man, a perplexed expression on his face."
What?" He whispered quietly. As soon as he had managed to process a response he stood up and made his message clear: "I'm not marrying you!"Antonio looked heartbroken for a moment before he finally managed to ask, "Why?""Y-you're an idiot!" Lovino fumed, his face was as red as the tomato's he adored. "Why would you even ask me that?!""I only thought

SpainXRomano No longer hisSpain closed his eyes the soft grass brushing against his cheeks, the dew clung to his clothes as he rolled over letting the sun penetrate his eye lids. This meadow was where he came to relax when Romano became too much to handle, which seems to be all the time these days, "Teenagers are just so much trouble." Releasing a long held sigh Spain closed his eyes and let the bliss of sleep take over.###Spain woke to France shaking him violently, "Spain! You're going to be late to the meeting again." The blonde Frenchman stood to the side of his bed, his arms shaking Spain until the Spaniard gave in and sat up. "What....when did I get here?" Spain stared at the bedroom that surrounded him, "I was just out in the meadow." France shook his head the blue eyes filled disappointment, "I don't care how hung over you are that is no reason to miss the meeting today, hurry and get dressed Romano and I will be waiting outside for you." The sound of Romano waiting on him seemed to be enoug
Unconditional SpainxRomano"Stop it! Just cut it out! Leave me alone!""You have thick hair Lovi~ Please come back! I'll stop brushing it I promise!"It took a while for the Spaniard to catch up to the agitated Italian."You always... run from me... why?""Just tell me damn it! Stop teasing me! I've had enough of it!""Wh.. what do you mean?"Romano didn't want to say it, he didn't think he'd ever bring it this far, but he couldn't take being teased anymore, and he had to know, he had to find out why this all seemed so realistic."You can have my inheritance, you can take anything you want.. just... stop playing with me!""Romano... what d... what are you talking about amor?"Spain's hand rose to pat Romano, but it froze with Romano's next bust of words;"No one really likes me! No one ever has! They always want something out of me, and you do to! I know you do! You wouldn't treat me this way really, especially after... how I treat you... and how I run away...""Is that how you really feel?"Romano was surprised
SpainxRomano? chap.1Today I woke up for school in a fall. Seriously,I fell out of bed and the fact that my twin,Feliciano,kept laughing at me didn't help me at all.

Unfortunatly he looks exactly like me,damnit.After I got up from the floor I went to the pile of clothes that I was planning to borrow clothes from for today to find out that nothing was...wearable.

Oh,shut up.Pink is so not my color...Ugh,I sound like a fag.I decided to go brush my teeth before putting the shirt on,so it wont get wet or something. So then I reached the bathroom the find out that the toothpaste was empty.I needed to squish the hell out of the poor toothpaste so I can brush my teeth normally.

pt2By:MomopiAfter much crying Valentino finally fell asleep in Antonio's arms. Antonio stroked Valentinos back, and placed light kisses on his soft hair. Antonio looked over at the uncurious Romano and his heart sank. Seeing Romano like this wasn't how he wanted to see him again. He wanted to see him happy, carefree, and not covered in bruises. The doctor soon came in."hello, Antonio right?""yes...""well we have done an x-ray and diagnosis of Romano, and he dose have a fractured armed, a slightly bruised rib, and a few cuts and bruises here and there. He should wake up however." Antonio smiled at this."oh thank God!" the doctor smiled."yes indeed, he is a lucky one. Usually people come out worse from abuse like that. Anyways feel free to stay as long as you like. Have a good night" after the doctor left, Antonio
Marry Me, Mi Tomate Ch 1 SpainxRomanoWaking up with a squished tomato in my hand and hugging my pillow, I sighed. I opened my eyes and looked at the mess from the squished tomato in my hand. I always did that when I went to sleep, start to eat a tomato and ending up squishing it in my sleep.I yawned and rubbed my eyes. Then I remembered it...I had the same dream again."Dammit!" I yelled as I threw the tomato at the wall. I watched as it bounced off.Why did I keep having that dream?! I didn't think of Spain in that way! He was just an idiotic person who raised me! Nothing else! Yet...why WAS I having a dream of his wanting to marry me for a month straight?I sighed and rubbed my temples. Damn everything but tomatoes. All I needed was tomatoes in this world. And maybe a gun so I could pretend to be a Mafia every now and then..."Fratello? Why are you yelling, ve?" I looked over to my side to see my brother laying down."VENEZIANO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY BED, DAMMIT?!" I yelled at him. He instantly got scared and start
USUK: Double Romeo Chapter 2"MEIN GOTT!" Germany shrieked in horror as the package he was unwrapping revealed a crimson petticoat with matching cone hat and glitter wings. Germany must hate his life right now. I bowed my head slightly in solemn, mourning for the death of any pride the German had left.I tugged at the fabric that clung to my skin. The clothing fitted tightly, making it slightly uncomfortable. It was simple and traditional, with a royal blue cape flowing off my right shoulder. I smirked slightly as images of America in a ball gown crept into my thoughts."IGGGYYYYYYYY~~~!!!" Perfect timing."ACK!" I winced in pain as America pounced on me, wrapping my neck tightly in his toned arms."C-Can't... B-Breathe..." I managed to choke out. When America finally reacted and loosened his hold, I took gulps of air in gasps."Sorry..." I heard him apologise, sounding a little bashful. I spun around and was about to give him an earful when I saw it.America was dressed in a cream pink ball gown. The soft
Pirate!SpainXRomano - PretendingChapter 3--Spain's POV--One night Spain returned back to the town. He was running down the hall of his ship trying to get away from the fire. There was so much smoke, so it was hard to hold his breath long. Once he got up to the deck he ordered all the crew members to leave. Smoke flies into the air as the fire grew bigger. The crew saw the fire that was coming from below and they stopped in their tracks. They all ran off the ship like a herd of buffaloes.--Romano's POV--Romano was eating a tomato when Italy walked over."Fratello~""Hm?" He lazily replied."I'm going to spend the night with Germany~ Will you be okay here by yourself?""Don't treat me like I'm a little kid!""I'm sorry..."Romano sighed, "Go ahead, I'll be fine.""Okay. See ya later fratello!" Italy said leaving for the door.--Spain's POV--Spain was walking around weakly, trying to catch his breath. He lost his crew members during the scatter. Everyone went their own way, so he was now alone. He saw a benc

But besides that, where is Holden?

Where is he? Where did he go? Why did he avoid Emily?

GRAND ISLAND, N.Y. - Despite harsh weather conditions, the 20th-ranked Toledo women's cross country team ran to its third-straight Mid-American Conference championship in historic fashion Saturday afternoon at Beaver Island State Park. The Rockets dominated their conference foes with a record-breaking score of 24 points, eclipsing their mark of 33 points set in last year's championship race.
Eight of the nine Toledo runners earned All-MAC honors while Head Coach Kevin Hadsell was named the MAC Coach of the Year for the fifth time in his career (third straight). The Rockets now have five conference championships in program history.
"Today went really well," Hadsell said. "I'm really proud of how we were able to handle the conditions. Our wholegame plan coming in here was to validate our ranking and to get as many All-MAC runners as possible. This should really set us up nice for the NCAA Regionals in a couple of weeks."
Senior Kaylin Belair and sophomores Megan Wright and Liz Weiler led the Rockets with a two-three-four finish across the line. Belair ran at 5:41 mile pace and finished 20 seconds behind Ohio's Julie Accurso at 21:08.7. Wright and Weiler recorded times of 21:20.5 and 21:24.9, respectively.
Sophomores Brooke Tullis (21:55.8) and Priscilla Timmons (21:56.5) finished back-to-back in seventh and eighth place, while juniors Devyn Ramsay, Liz Lemon and freshman Sharon Morgan rounded out the top-14 finishers.
Two-time MAC Runner of the Week Mackenzie Chojnacky battled through the tough weather conditions and an illness to finish 57th with a mark of 23:00.8.
Toledo becomes the first school to win three consecutive MAC titles since Ohio won five straight crowns from 1987 to 1992.
According to Hadsell, this is just the beginning for the Rockets as they will amp up their training to prepare for the NCAA Regional Championships on Nov. 11. Toledo will gun for their third straight NCAA Championship bid at the regional meet.
In the men's race, Toledo tallied 186 points to finish in eighth place as a group. They faced a more challenging run with the course already worn down from the opening women's race. Senior Elliot Livensparger led the Rockets for the first time this season. He placed 23rd overall with a final mark of 25:33.2.
Sophomore Jake Kasperski finished in 31st-place at 25:47.7, while sophomores Hilary Serem (37th; 26:03.1), Adam Smercina (47th; 26:20.3) and freshmen Thomas Gibbons (48th; 26:21.6) completed the Toledo scoring.
Eastern Michigan senior Terefe Ejigu, last year's runner-up, claimed top honors with a time of 24:44.5, holding off EMU teammate Daryl Smith who finished in 24:47.8. The men's race consisted of 78 entrants. EMU won the men's team title with 59 points.
The men will compete in their season finale at the Eastern Michigan Open on Nov. 2.

Ohio-based tuning specialist, Switzer Performance, is fast making a name for itself in the aftermarket industry, having created a growing number of projects that include the Nissan GT-R E900 and the Porsche 911 GT2 .
Their latest program is for the Porsche Panamera Turbo and as you can expect, Switzer gave it a robust tuning upgrade. They added their newly developed P680 hardware on the German luxury saloon's 4.4-liter V8 engine and its resulting output from the standard 500 horsepower and 516 lb/ft of torque to a mouth-watering 680 horsepower and right about 700 lb/ft of torque.
In addition to the P680 hardware, the added boost in output was also aided by the addition of a new intercooler system and the company's own Siemens ECU upgrade. All in all, the Switzer-tuned Panamera Turbo is now capable of hitting 0-60 mph in a little over three seconds with a top speed of 215 mph. The whole package is now available for a base price of $22,000, which may sound like a fortune, except for the fact that it does give the Panamera enough boost to become a gnarly monster.
For that price tag, it's good enough for us.

Well most Burning Crusade content will still be used since you still need it to level 58-68 as pointed out above. Stuff that will obviously not be used is the lvl 70 heroics, all raid instances. About 6 months after Wotlk it'll probably become harder to get instances. Instances like UBRS, Diremaul for example are pretty much never get used currently and i suspect it will be the same for a few of the lvl 70 5 man instances.
In a lot of ways its just the natural order of things. Blizzard could possibly remove some trash mobs, lower bosses hp to make it easier, since changes like this would hurt no one and only help people leveling up towards wrath content.
The Isle of Quel'Danas in all honesty could be changed to a 68-72 area where you could level just to avoid all the crowding which will happen on Wotlk's release. With the Isle of Quel'Danas what to do with it is really hard choice since its pretty much the first zone completely designed for lvl 70s.
Johnnycash99 said...
One idea for keeping people interested in 5-man BC instances would be to change to BoP drops to BoE. I can envision lvl 80's still doing BC heroics in order to farm the drops and sell them on the AH for the lvl 58-68's.
Changing the drops is not unprecidented either. Blizz did this to the loot from the BC World Bosses a few patches back.
In a future expansion, instead of focusing on creating a completely new zone where all of your levelling for that level cap happens in that zone, they should add levelling zones in "old world"(Vanilla / TBC) for that level cap, and the only new zones separate from the old worlds, be for end game.
E.g. You level from 0-58 in Eastern Kingdoms / Kalimdor, 58-68 in Outland and if WotLK wasn't coming out and we were to use my idea, Blizzard would create levelling zones for 68-80 in both outland and Azeroth. So once you hit 70 or got close to it, you could choose to keep levelling in Outland or Azeroth.
Then once you hit 80, there would be zones much like Isle of Quel'Danas where you can do dailies, a Raid etc. But much of the new content would be in the old worlds, but in some ways still be new.
I mean, why do they need to make a new island, or a completely separate area when they make an expansion or increase the level cap. I mean, making NEW levelling zones for 60-80 throughout Azeroth and Outland that you could just walk into like they were Arathi Highlands, or Burning Steppes doesn't stop people from buying the expansion or dull down new content. I think people would love it.
Like imagine questing through level 68 and then having the option to go to the present day Hyjal and do some levelling. You're still getting brand-new content and it does nothing to discourage people purchasing the expac, but it opens the old-world up considerably.
I mean, if there were level 78 mobs in Hyjal, then you obviously aren't going to have level 58's trying to level there, they would have to go to outland to get anywhere near going there.
I know it's no hope of happening now since they have already created a new COMPLETELY SEPARATE area where all of the expansion content happens, but alas, i can hope. :P

Endothelial function, intima-media thickness (IMT), and arterial stiffness are preclinical predictors of atherosclerotic changes, which may suggest a specific pathway through which shift work exposure contributes to cardiovascular disease (CVD). The aims of this exploratory study were: 1) to describe and compare early atherosclerotic indicators between current shift workers [SW] with at least 6 years of shift working experience and current non-shift workers [NSW] with at least 6 years of work experience; 2) to describe the potential for a dose-response relationship between length of shift work exposure and early atherosclerotic indicators; and 3) to explore and compare the associations between psychological stress and vascular changes in SW and NSW. Female current shift (n = 20) and non-shift work employees (n = 19) visited a lab on one occasion to complete vascular function testing. These included reactive hyperemia flow mediated dilation, pulse wave velocity (PWV), and structural examination of intima-media thickness (IMT). Self-report validated measures of psychological job stress, life stress and other personal and demographic information were collected. Within this sample, there was no significant difference between groups regarding atherosclerotic indicators. The SW participants reported a higher effort-reward imbalance (p = 0.003) and greater physical job demands (p < 0.001). Skill discretion, decision authority, and decision latitude were negatively correlated with peripheral PWV (r = -0.623, p < 0.001; r = -0.338, p = 0.044; r = -0.346, p = 0.039, respectively). IMT was positively correlated with psychological job demands (r = 0.413, p = 0.029). There was no dose-response relationship between years of shift work experience and atherosclerotic indicators after controlling for age. Women working in a shift work position did not significantly differ in their atherosclerotic development when compared to non-shift working women. However, women employed in a shift work position did report greater psychological work stress and physical demands, which may play a role in CVD. Individuals exposed to shift work may be prompted to engage in healthy behaviours and employers may benefit from implementing practices to reduce workplace-related stress. Description: Thesis (Master, Nursing) -- Queen's University, 2014-09-16 10:25:46.643 2014-09-16T04:00:00Z REGISTERED NURSES' EXPERIENCES OF CARE FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT Tyerman, JANE http://hdl.handle.net/1974/12199 2014-05-28T05:21:53Z 2014-05-27T04:00:00Z Title: REGISTERED NURSES' EXPERIENCES OF CARE FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT Authors: Tyerman, JANE Abstract: Purpose: The main purpose of this study was to explore ED nurses' experiences in caring for individuals with mental health concerns and their thoughts of what contributes to or inhibits their ability to care for this patient population. Methodology: A qualitative study using a descriptive phenomenological tradition was guided by the following research questions: a) What are the participants' experiences of the care that is provided to the individual experiencing mental health issues in the ED?, b) What are the participants' descriptions of elements that contribute to or inhibit their ability to effectively care for individuals with mental health issues in the ED?, c) What are the participants' educational experiences related to mental health issues?, and d) What are the participants' recommendations for the enhancement of mental health nursing care in the ED? Conclusion: Nurses practicing in the ED stated they lack psychiatric knowledge related to theory, and skills in assessment and least restraint interventions which are often utilized when providing care to mental health patients in the ED. Mental health education at the undergraduate and practical level relevant for practice in non-psychiatric settings needs to be enhanced and supported at an organizational level. The use of control interventions such as restraints and seclusion pose significant ethical issues for nurses. Interventions are often chosen based on the need to ensure the perceived safety for the patient and those within the ED and not necessarily on least restraint practices. Further barriers include a lack of time, role and responsibility confusion and a fast-paced environment that was not conducive to provide quality care for those with mental health issues. These factors detracted from care practices, and ED nurses thought their care did not meet the needs of the mental health patient. These findings will provide a platform for education and organizational efforts that support the ED nurse and optimize care of individuals with mental health issues seeking care in the ED.

Authors: Tennant, JUSTIN Abstract: Objective: To compare psychological work and life stress indicators among female hospital employees in both shift work (SW) and non-shift work (NSW) positions, and determine associations with demographic and vocational factors, and indicators of cardiovascular risk (CVR). Methods: Female employees from one Southeastern Ontario acute care hospital (n=212) provided fasting blood samples, demographic and work related data, and completed a physical assessment and questionnaires. Work stress was measured with the Job Content Questionnaire and Effort-Reward Balance Index (ERI). Life stress was assessed with the Derogatis Stress Profile. Metabolic Syndrome (MS) was determined based on Interim Societies Joint Guidelines. Results: SW in comparison to NSW employees reported higher mean scores in: global ERI (.70 (SD .4) vs. .58 (SD.29) p<.05), psychological job demands (21.2 (SD 4.8) vs. 19.2 (5.7) p<.01), physical job demands (13.8 (SD 2.6) vs. 10.2 (SD 3.8), skill discretion (36.5 (SD 4.4) vs. 34.7 (SD 5.4) p<.01), lower decision authority (31.6 (SD 5.8) vs. 33.5 (SD 6.5) p<.05), and lower total life stress scores (39.2 (SD 7.3) vs. 42.1 (SD 9.4) p<.05). There were no significant differences between SW and NSW group for MS or CVR factors. MS was present among 17% of all employees, 18.5% of SW, and 15.5% of NSW. In logistic regression analysis MS occurrence was associated with chronic SW exposure of 6 or more years (AOR 5.41 (95% CI, 1.84 – 15.87), decisional authority (AOR 1.09 (95% CI, 1.00 – 1.18), skill discretion (AOR 1.13 (95% CI, 1.01 – 1.26), and depression (AOR 1.26 (95% CI 1.08 – 1.46). Conclusions: Women working in SW positions experience more psychological and physical work stress, and effort-reward imbalance. The interplay between effort and reward aspects of the work environment may significantly contribute to psychological work stress and persist with increasing age among female hospital employees regardless of SW status. Among female hospital employees SW status and psychological stress measures do not appear to have an immediate effect upon CVR, as measured by the MS, but may contribute to its development with prolonged exposure.

In a rural hospital, they may have different roles along with their professional role. Staff and services are fewer and the community is often part of the hospital. This can influence patient safety culture. Researchers and governing bodies have focused on developing processes to assist healthcare leaders developing their patient safety culture. Researchers and governing bodies have tended to focus on urban hospitals and then implement the same processes in rural hospitals. This strategy has not always been successful. The purpose of this study is to explore the roles and responsibilities in patient safety culture of health care professionals in rural hospitals. A systematic review, using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) review process, was completed to discover how patient safety culture and rural hospitals are described and measured. Some common elements in the literature were unique characteristics of rural hospitals, leadership, error reporting and the use of patient safety culture surveys. Ethnographic methods were used to explore healthcare professional's roles in patient safety culture in a rural hospital. Healthcare professionals describe their roles differently than described in the literature. A patient safety culture model was developed from the literature and refined with the study findings. The affinity model was developed based on the study findings from the small rural hospital and the literature. Everything they do is how rural hospital practitioners described their role in patient safety.

1) ROMNEY: Feel the excitement!
Romney in 2002: My only connection to the GOP is I'm a registered Republican
Charles P Pierce: The Romney Replacement Bus Is at the Station – Here's Senator Jim DeMint (R-Wingnuttia), talking about likely presidential nominee, Willard Romney and the rest of the Republican field: "I just hope at some point they'll realize whether they can win or not. If they can't, the best thing they can probably do is to help the one who is going to win." Feel the fire! Here's The Washington Post's list of some people from whose lukewarm approval Romney would benefit in the near future. Personally, I wouldn't hire any of them to park my car, but that's just me. Honestly, now. Princess Dumbass Of The Northwoods? Senator Aqua Buddha of Kentucky? The zombie-eyed granny-starver? Is there anyone on that list who doesn't make independent voters scream and run wildly for the tree line? This isn't a party establishment. It's the people sitting on the bench that you avoid in the bus station. And even they have to be coaxed and wheedled and pleaded with to support the only candidate in the party who, at this advanced moment on the calendar, has a chance of winning the nomination? I'm telling you, by the time Willard gets up to give his acceptance speech in Tampa, the national committee's going to be paying people on the sidewalks outside 20 bucks to come in and cheer.
2) SANTORUM: FEAR and LOATHING on the campaign trail
Video: Rick Santorum's Insane New Fear Mongering Ad: Welcome to OBAMAVILLE! – Taking right wing fear mongering to an insane new level, here's Rick Santorum's latest web advertisement. Notice at about 39 seconds in: the image of Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad flashes to President Obama for a split second.
3) NEWT! Pass the smelling salts and my blankey
Gingrich Says Robert De Niro's 'White First Lady' Crack Is 'Inexcusable' – "What De Niro said last night was inexcusable and the president should apologize for him. It was at an Obama fundraiser, it is exactly wrong," Gingrich said. WHAT DE NIRO SAID: "Callista Gingrich. Karen Santorum. Ann Romney. Now do you really think our country is ready for a white First Lady?" De Niro asked, according to a pool report from the fundraiser. The report said the crowd roared and someone yelled "No!" as De Niro asked, "Too soon, right?" Piers Morgan explains De Niro's joke to Gingrich – "This is the whole point," [Morgan told Gingrich]. "The whole point of De Niro's comment, his joke, was precisely because many, many people were saying that kind of thing very seriously about Michelle Obama."
Newt Gingrich calls Obama comment on Trayvon Martin 'disgraceful' - Most observers took President Obama's comment that the killing of Trayvon Martin hit him particularly hard because "if I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon" as a very normal human reaction. However, at least one person — Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich — found it "disgraceful" and "appalling" that Obama was "trying to turn" the death of the African American teenager "into a racial issue." "Is the president suggesting that if it had been a white who had been shot, that would be OK because it didn't look like him?" Gingrich asked during an appearance Friday on The Sean Hannity Radio Show. "That's just nonsense dividing this country up," he continued. "When things go wrong to an American, it is sad for all Americans. Trying to turn it into a racial issue is fundamentally wrong. I really find it appalling."
Gingrich: It's Obama's fault people think he's Muslim – "I have said publicly several times that I believe Obama is a Christian. He went to a Christian church for over 20 years. He was listening to the sermons. The fact is I take him at his word. But I think it is very bizarre that he is desperately concerned to apologize to Muslim religious fanatics while they are killing young Americans, while at the same time going to war against the Catholic Church and against every right-to-life Protestant organization in the country. I just think it's a very strange value system… It should bother the president. Why does the president behave the way that people would think that? You have to ask, why would they believe that? It's not because they're stupid. It's because they watch the kind of things I just described to you. When you have every bishop in the Catholic Church say this administration's at war with their religion, you don't think that has an impact?"
Patty Murray Releases Video Urging John Boehner To Drop Birth Control Fight – Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) released a new video on Friday urging House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) to abandon his plans to continue the fight in the House against contraception coverage. Minutes before Sen. Roy Blunt's (R-Mo.) amendment, which would have allowed all employers to refuse to cover contraception for their employees for "moral reasons," failed in the Senate on March 1, Boehner vowed to take up the fight in the House. "I think it's important for us to win this issue," Boehner told reporters at the time. He said the Obama administration's new contraception rule requiring most employers to cover birth control with no co-pay for their employees violates religious liberty.
5) DOOSH Limbaugh
Media Matters Releases Radio Ads Against Rush Limbaugh (AUDIO) - Media Matters launched its campaign on Thursday, stating the company planned to spend at least $100,000 on anti-Limbaugh radio ads. The ads use audio from Limbaugh's attack on Fluke and criticize stations that still air his program. The group called their ads "community service announcements." Listeners are urged to call the local station that carries Limbaugh to say "we don't talk to women like that" in our city. (see link for both ads)
Limbaugh hires a crisis management consultant – It seems he has now hired a crisis management consultant to try and stop the bleeding before Mike Huckabee comes and steals his time slot (and affiliates). Brian Glicklich has been acting on Limbaugh's behalf since at least March 8. Glicklich is a former vice president at Premiere Radio Networks, and currently heads the firm How Handy Is That, which specializes in reputation and crisis management and "gadfly defense." He previously worked as counsel to a firm that provides crisis management to clients like David Copperfield and Paris Hilton. Glicklich also has an extensive relationship with Glenn Beck, and is thanked in the acknowledgements of several of Beck's books.
Utah demands federal government return public lands to state – The state of Utah, long resentful that some 60 percent of its territory belongs to the U.S. government, says the time has come to reclaim the millions of acres it gave up more than a century ago for admission to the union. Governor Gary Herbert signed into law on Friday a bill demanding the federal government relinquish ownership of roughly 30 million acres of public land in Utah by 2015 or face a state lawsuit challenging its continued control of that property. Shrugging off warnings from state attorneys that the legislation, backed primarily by Republicans, is likely unconstitutional and could lead to a protracted but futile legal battle, Herbert called such a dispute "a fight worth having."
INSANITY: TENNESSEE: Senate Passes Bill Allowing The Teaching Of Creationism – The Tennessee Senate has approved a bill that will allow teachers to advocate for creationism and against climate change. The bill's wording is couched in terms of "protecting the right to open discussion." Senators voted 24-8 to pass a bill that says schoolteachers cannot be punished for "helping students to understand, analyze, critique and review in an objective manner the scientific strengths and scientific weaknesses of existing scientific theories" taught in public schools. The measure has drawn strong opposition from the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the National Center for Science Education and the American Civil Liberties Union, which said it is cover for teachers who want to teach creationism or intelligent design. Supporters said the measure would give teachers more guidance to answer students' questions about science topics. "The idea behind this bill is that students should be encouraged to challenge current scientific thought and theory," said state Sen. Bo Watson, R-Hixson. ||| RELATED: U.S. students behind in math, science, analysis says – CNN – In math, U.S. high schoolers were in the bottom quarter of the countries that participated, trailing countries including Finland, China and Estonia. [...] In science, the United States falls behind countries such as Canada, Japan and the Czech Republic.
Fox News creates it's own facts AND math. They're just that fair and balanced.
President Obama's submitted a $3.6 trillion FY 2010 budget, which Fox News claimed was "4x bigger than Bush's costliest plan."
However, President Bush submitted a $3.1 trillion budget for FY 2009 and a $2.9 trillion budget for FY 2008.
Math is hard.

Azshara's battlemages are faithfully devoted to her and willing to give their lives: it's a safe assumption that they could handle the ice phase with ease, especially considering some are trained in frost magic. It's not really anything that affects the mechanics, but it'd be fun for them to yell.
The lightning phase would have to be possible with two/three people (if Azshara herself even moves the entire fight - she's immune to damage after all) out of fairness, and I doubt the magi would have much trouble with that.
It comes down to timing. I'm going to assume that her Servant of the Queen is forbidden here, otherwise she'd be able to control Hagara shortly before completely dominating her (with Total Obedience, it's not that sort of fight).
Long story short, I'd give this one to Azshara as she's most likely clever enough to use Total Obedience WHILE HAGARA IS STUNNED AFTER A LIGHTNING/FROST PHASE. That's the key thing here.

Traffic is back, and in a big way.
The latest INRIX Gridlock Index (IGI) shows drivers have been spending a lot more time sitting bumper-to-bumper. Traffic jumped by almost 10 percent during February, for the largest year-over-year increase ever recorded by our 100-metro area index.
It looks like gridlock levels are finally climbing out of their long slump. While more people hitting the road might be awful for drivers, it's also a sign that more jobs and more orders are being filled – great news for the economy.
The latest IGI shows that traffic in large metro areas like Boston, Detroit, Chicago and Houston also jumped dramatically. How did your city compare? Check out the complete list of IGI results here.

Feel like you've been spending more time in traffic lately? You might be right, but at least there's a silver lining.
The latest INRIX Gridlock Index (IGI) – which now covers traffic trends in 100 metro areas — shows that drivers spent more time stalled in traffic last January than they did in January 2012. This is the second straight month that gridlock has increased over the previous year, ending a long series of year-to-year declines that had stretched back over 23 months. As an indication that more workers, more shippers, and more shoppers are hitting the road, January's IGI is also a good sign for the U.S. economy. The IGI score was 6.4, meaning the average trip took 6.4 percent longer because of stalled traffic.
Yet it's still too early to pop open the champagne. While the most recent IGIs have shown an upswing, a look back to 2010 shows just how far traffic has fallen – and how much it has yet to recover.
January's IGI also showed why Utah was right to take "Industry" as its motto. Its Ogden and Salt Lake City metro areas saw some of the biggest jumps in traffic congestion year-over-year, growing by 202 percent and 113 percent, respectively. This lines up with recent reports that the state has seen more tax receipts flow into its coffers than it had expected. Tennessee also came out a winner: traffic in Knoxville and Memphis increased by 110 percent and 65 percent year-over-year.
As for IGI losers, traffic in the Kentucky region of Louisville was hardest hit: it fell by 62 percent from January 2012 to January 2013. The metro areas of St. Louis, Youngstown and Fort Myers also performed badly, with each seeing year-over-year decreases of at least 50 percent.

The latest edition of the INRIX Gridlock Index (IGI) is out and shows that the U.S. economy might be on a comeback.
The IGI score for December 2012 was 15.2, meaning that the average trip took drivers 15.2% longer because of traffic. This might be a nuisance, but higher levels of traffic congestion also mean that there are more workers working, more shoppers shopping and more business activity overall. This latest IGI score shows that gridlock actually fell by 3% from the year before. So why is this good news for the economy?
Traffic usually falls in December, as holidaymakers stay home. While December's IGI did show a slight decrease in traffic on a year-over-year basis, the 3% decline was actually seven times better than the year before. This is a gigantic improvement from the previous year, when gridlock fell by 21% from December 2010 to December 2011 year-over-year as double-dip recession worries kicked in.
Another pleasant surprise in the latest IGI was the increase in Detroit's score from November to December 2012. In fact Detroit was the only area out of the IGI's 10 metro areas to register an uptick from one month to the next. Great news as the Motor City tries to fight its way back to its former glory.
Here's a look at how all of the areas scored:
Did you drive more, less or the same amount in December? And what's your guess for what IGI will say about the economy next month?
Tags: IGI, INRIX Gridlock Index
Traffic congestion is up in 10 of the largest U.S. metropolitan areas, making the average driving trip 17.7% longer than necessary. This is according to the November 2012 aggregate score for the INRIX Gridlock Index (IGI), a monthly measurement of road traffic congestion.
So, more gridlock is bad, right?
Not necessarily. The good news is that the latest IGI score shows a sluggish yet enduring rebound in national traffic congestion providing further evidence of a slowly rebounding U.S. economy.
The mixed economic picture captured in the November 2012 IGI is all the more notable given the backdrop of lower national gas prices. While headline unemployment rates in IGI's 10 metropolitan areas have also declined, the high number of discouraged workers nationwide (979,000 in November 2012) may exert downward pressure on overall traffic congestion.

College Station, TX (Sports Network) - Rodney McGruder posted a game-high 26 points as he helped guide Kansas State to a 76-70 win over Texas A&M in Big 12 Conference play at Reed Arena.
McGruder converted 5-of-7 shots behind the three-point line for the Wildcats (20-9, 9-8 Big 12) as they won for the third time in the last four outings and picked up their fifth Big 12 road win, clinching a winning conference road record for just the second time in the last 24 seasons and the first time since the 2009-10 campaign.
Jamar Samuels registered a double-double for the Wildcats with 17 points and a game-high 11 rebounds, while Angel Rodriguez delivered 13 points and five assists for the visitors.
The Aggies (13-16, 4-13) were paced by Elston Turner, one of four starters in double figures, with 22 points as he made good on all four of his three-point tries and 8-of-9 from the floor overall. David Loubeau accounted for 13 points, Ray Turner 12 and Dash Harris 11 points and five assists as the team suffered a fourth straight setback.
A&M led by as many as seven points in the first half, but the Wildcats knocked down an impressive 57.7 percent from the floor and an even more incredible 8- of-9 behind the three-point line, en route to a 44-33 lead at the break.
In the second half KSU made a total of just eight field goals, but half of those came from beyond the arc and the team also knocked down 12-of-14 at the free-throw line to secure the six-point win.
With the victory Kansas State now has at least 20 wins for the 25th time in school history, including the sixth consecutive campaign. Frank Martin is the first KSU head coach to direct the program to five consecutive 20-win seasons.

Computed tomography, commonly known as a CT scan, uses X-rays and computers to produce images of a cross-section of the body. The patient must lie as still as possible as the table moves through the large, donut-shaped scanning device. Movement could blur the images produced by the scanner.
Please be aware that correct preparation is very important for the test to be performed properly.
After the contrast agent is injected, you might feel flushed, or you might have a metallic taste in your mouth. These are common reactions. If you experience shortness of breath or any unusual symptoms, please tell the technologist.
Generally, you can resume your usual activities and normal diet immediately.
The results of your CT scan should be available to your doctor within 24 hours after the test, Monday through Friday. Your doctor will discuss the results with you.

Southern Miss head coach Todd Monken has made a decision about who will be his starting quarterback.
Just don't expect to hear about it until the opening kickoff.
Saturday will be the first time Texas State and USM have played against each other in football and the first time since 1988 that the black and gold open the season against a school from Texas.
With kickoff against the Bobcats 5 days away, the Golden Eagles head man isn't spilling any secrets about who will lead the offense.
But he seem's to be ok with his decision.
"I'm comfortable with one guy I'm just not going to announce it. It does us no good to announce it," Monken said at the team's weekly media press conference.
"I can't tell you if it's good or bad I'm just not going to do it."
Kickoff against Texas State is for 6 p.m.

As Libyan rebels entered Tripoli yesterday, Sky News reporter Alex Crawford appeared to be the only Western broadcast reporter on the scene.
How'd she do it? How'd she broadcast from the capital?
According to the Daily Telegraph "the astonishing footage from the streets of Tripoli was produced using an Apple Mac Pro laptop computer connected to a mini-satellite dish that was charged by a car cigarette lighter socket."

I skipped happily beside the stone walls packed tight to each other. My rigid white dress filthy with dirt scrapped my legs leaving the mark of poverty behind. I pushed my hand into the pockets on my apron filled with shiny stones. I found them by waterside in the bay, which stunk with the men who were returning from weeks at an end to greet their families with open arms.
"Ya just wait for pa to come home." I gleamed with happiness with just the thought of it. My brother looked beside me to the ships which made loud creaking and animal sounds from which came from the cargo area.
"You don't know that yet…" Benjamin walked in a slouch then sticking his hands into his trousers pockets. He always had better grammar, vocabulary, and sentence structure that surprist my own.
"Ya such a lazy bum…" His blue eyes flickered to mine, and I flinched for a second.
"What?" He absolutely hated the idea that anyone thought he was lazy in any sort of stature. It looked like it killed him to hear the words.
"I said ya a lazy bum…" I said it with courage, even though I was scared of him just a little. He was…ten? And I seven, who'd you, expect to win? He sighed and flicked a rock at my head and I rubbed the spot in pain.
"Ow!" I moaned, my black hair was now messed up, loose strands in every which direction. "A man's never supposed to touch a lady!" I yelled in frustration, which now didn't sound that good.
"Correction…I'm a boy, you're a girl, and we're not husband a wife, we're brother and sister, which means we're allowed to fight until we're a little older." My face turned to the look of frustration; I swear I had steam pouring out of my ears.
At the house mother awaited us with the little supper she served. It was delicious, even though only stew… It was cheap, and affordable…our father was out collecting "property" for the nobles. I stilled didn't understand the idea of slavery…it seemed unfair to the opposite party. Our wooden spoons clanked against the tin bowls as we ate. I rubbed my tummy in satisfactory of the meal as we we're sent to bed.
"Tis quarter to six…time for bed…" She smiled a warm smile, melting the coldest of all hearts. I nodded scurrying to my bedroom that was shared with Ben.
The cotton we slept with was rough and itchy. A most uncomfortable experience to endure, a yawn passed through my lips and I rubbed my eyes groggily. I hugged the little bear my brother and father made for me. It showed stitches and workman's craft. Before I knew it, I fell into deep slumber.
The next morning on Sun's Day, we went to the church, dressed in our best clothes. The prayer preached.
"First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life, godly and respectful in every way. Thou art coming to a King, Great petitions with thee bring, for his love and power are such, none can ever ask too much. Fairest Lord Jesus, ruler of all nature, O thou of God and man the son…take my silver and my gold not a mite would I withhold."
"Amen" We sang in unison, my brother kneeled and prayed with all his might, I could see it in his eyes… He was very dependent on god. It seemed he did almost nothing without the pray of god. I feel like it would be his downfall.
Father came back today! He finally did! I told my brother so! Oh I told the truth for once! No lies or discretion! It was really happening! Oh how overjoyed I am! But…after father came home I feel…different…scared? I fancy that it's who he is…he's changed somehow…but how? But alas I had to go to bed…
I awakened next morning to find myself in a ship along with Ben, he held onto his cross tightly, so tight, his hands bleed a little. He was shaking badly and rocking back and forth in a calming motion, though it did little for him in anyway.
We soon arrived at what looked like a mine, it was humongous…I was splited away from Ben and into the mine chained with others. Ben went insane though…
