Will Steven Spielberg And Ridley Scott Have Dueling Moses Movies?
Nordling here.
Steven Spielberg has already started pre-production work on GODS AND KINGS, an epic retelling of the Moses story. Now, according to Esquire, Ridley Scott also has got one in mind: "I've got something else in the works. I'm already doing it. It's called MOSES... Seriously, seriously. It's going to happen... It's definitely in the cards... What's interesting to me about Moses isn't the big stuff that everybody knows. It's things like his relationship with Ramses. I honestly wasn't paying attention in school when I was told the story of Moses. Some of the details of his life are extraordinary."
So with two Moses stories in the works, and Aronofsky's NOAH, is it about to get all Old Testament at the movie theater? Although I'm sure Scott's Moses film would be visually astonishing, would he get the story right? Honestly, I'd rather see Spielberg's take on this than Ridley Scott's, and obviously one of these projects will have to flinch. Plus, Scott has a habit of diving into multiple projects and moving on to different ones at the drop of a hat; like Guillermo Del Toro, Scott knows that Hollywood is fickle and if he puts all his eggs in one basket (or Derelict, if you'd rather) and that movie falls through, he's back at square one and these films take a long time to get off the ground.
But if Scott does make this movie, I can't wait to see when the Space Jockeys come and hand Moses the Ten Commandments. This will be the ultimate ALIEN prequel, people. I'm kidding. Kinda.

May have been born to make the definitive Moses film. Of course, I would have thought the 70's/80's Steve would be our best bet. But who knows. He seems like he might be having fun again. And that's a good sign.

by syn_flood
Yeah, I just bought Cormac Mccarthy's new book, and I'm currently filming that. Also, I'm doing a sequel to Blade Runner. Oh, and I'm thinking about a Monopoly movie, and probably one about Moses. Also, I'd like to make a western at some point. Oh, btw... expect two sequels to Prometheus.

Heston. Chuck pondered how they would do God's voice in the burning bush. He goes to Cecil, and said that since we are made in God's image wouldn't I hear my own voice? Cecil thought about it, and that's what happened. The burning bush in The Ten Commandments is voiced by Chuck. The burning bush in Prince of Egypt is voiced by Val Kilmer who of course played Moses.

re: "Scott has a habit of diving into multiple projects and moving on to different ones at the drop of a hat"
by jim
So can Spielberg. Well, maybe not so much "drop" as "put on the back burner". I seem to remember his Lincoln movie was to be his next project after "Munich" (2005). Still waiting on that one (have they wrapped that yet, or is it still shooting?). He seems to have so much going on as Executive Producer he doesn't have a lot of time to direct. Ridley's movie may come and go before Spielberg's even announces casting. Or possibly the other way around. Or we could get dueling movies and both will come out around the same time (like "Deep Impact " & "Armageddon"). See you all in 2019!

I thought the same thing when I saw the headline. Ridley is going Biblical with Prometheus episode II. Which I guess fits my theory of the Alien saga being a religious epiphany. They've stripped the hard science fiction out of it and neutered the alien's phallic shaped head!

David is the Android Gabriel. Shaw is Mary. First Baby Jesus was the Squid, but that didn't work out. Elder Space Jockey was Joseph. SJ's are pissed at us b/c OBVIOUSLY they get Shaw preggers again with Space Jockey Jesus, who gets crucified by humans, SJ's discover this, they want to destroy humans for this transgression, accident happens, installation is discovered 2000 years later, etc. etc. Prometheus is a permanent time displacement loop that explains how Christianity was developed by the Jockeys to give Ridley Scott the excuse to make a heavily hyped film about the Meaning of it All that didn't quite explain the Meaning of it All, but did have one of our Old Friends in the final scene. Like Tessio asking for his life from Fat Clemenza in one of the last scenes from Godfather I after Sonny's Coup against the Five Families takes place.

"...Scott's Moses film would be visually astonishing,would he get the story right?"
by DoctorWho?
The answer is no. So much of the Bible is allegory and completely misunderstood by everybody. lordsofkobolbook is correct...the Jews didn't wander around the desert for forty years. It's absurd and yet it's taken literally by most people. Such stories are symbolic of larger concepts. Higher truths. But alas, most people prefer fables.<p> It's cute to watch Christians and atheists bicker endlessly over stories they mistakenly take at face value.
June 4, 2012, 6:46 p.m. CST
by sleepysheep
EXODUS IS A FAIRY TALE. There is no evidence of several million people migrating from Egypt. Let alone SLAVES, which would have DECIMATED the Egyptian economy. And to suggest that several million people inhabited the area they supposedly settled... when even with modern science that area can only support about 400,000 people... it's crazy. The Egyptians kept records of everything from financial transactions to the deaths to historical evidence. There. Is. NO. Evidence. Outside of the stupid fucking Bible. That Hebrews were ever enslaved in Egypt.

flickapoo - The Iliad did happen...kinda.
by vadakinX
The Iliad has as much historicity as the Bible. Perhaps even more so. I'm not saying the gods existed or even any of the characters but there is evidence to support at least some of the claims in Homer's epic. Troy was found. It was found exactly where Homer said it was. It was a relatively big city. There's evidence of battle. Of high walls. Of the city burning to the ground. In fact there's more than one Troy, with one city built on top of the other. What am I saying? Hector's fight with Achilles is just as probable as Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt. Maybe even more so. What the discovery and excavation of Troy does show though is that the Iliad is a valid historical source that is at least on a par with the Torah.

The Hebrews were probably Egyptians if they were in Egypt at all.
by vadakinX
One of the most prevalent theories is that Abrahamic monotheism actually originated from an Egyptian cult who took to worshipping a single god rather than the whole pantheon. There is no evidence that the Hebrews were slaves and forced to build monuments. The chances are, if they were in Egypt at all, they were Egyptian blasphemers. Also, sea of reeds, not red sea. Biggest mistranslation in the old testament? Then again, pushing reeds to one side isn't as visually impressive as creating giant walls of water so Hollywood will no doubt ignore the misprint.

As much as I hate to admit that somebody named "flickapoo" is right, well, he (she) is right. Moses is a myth. You act like the story can't be made because it didn't really happen. Well, some people think it really happened, but they are ignorant, weak-minded buffoons.

yeah, isn't that cool? That there's even a kernel of truth in the story? My point was simply that if we're going to say that the Bible is myth mixed with a little history and nothing more (and I do), then people should let it be that and not get all bent out of shape about it. People seem to want to have it both ways sometimes. Sleepysheep is all furious because THE STORY OF MOSES NEVER FUCKING HAPPENED, but he probably wouldn't be saying that about a BEOWULF movie...right?

Spielberg's version will win.
by SunTzu77
Both directors have been in a slump for awhile. Spielberg can usually find the "heart" in a story... plus he is Jewish... so culturally, etc. he has a one-up. Scott is a master of "visually" interpreting a story but simply can't find the "heart" or provide any "emotional resonance" in a story. Plus, he hires lackluster writers like Lindelof.

So in Sir Ridley's MOSES, will Darkness from LEGEND appear as the 9th plague?
by lv_426
After the xenomorphs who are obviously the locusts of the 8th plague. The earlier plagues are the facehuggers and chestbursters run amok, while the 6th plague, unhealable boils are the acid burns from encounters with the baby xenos.

Moses never existed. Why not make historical films based on real history.
by Charlie
It just seems a waste to spend all this time, money and talent on another version of a fictional story. Why not make a story set at a similar time period based on real history. Not this crap. People actually believe this shit it's real. I'd just rather see them spend this money to do something more reality based. Then there'll be the whole, "oh it's Zionist Propoganda" angle that'll get thrown into the mix. Really, who needs this, why bother?

by DreadPirate
Aronofsky is one of the most over-rated directors about. There is no way he could make a movie as good as the abyss. We all know the only reason The Wrestler and Black Swan got Oscars is because someone paid for it and it was the only way people were going to watch the movies. Why do the Oscars only give awards to terrible movies and just once in a while give it a deserving movie. Apart from money and corruption ?

Depend what the passions are about for each version i'd guess but...
by even9
My personal preference would be for a Wolfgang Petersen sword and sandal super-natural biblical epic, then an wait for it... or Oliver Stone art house sensual esque trip or an Andrew Stanton type far out epic would be fun too - but heck just need John Carter two for that. Ridley Scott's would perhaps be an interesting film in being a backdrop for an intriguing character driven type study of what the film is actually about, & he's good at this Genre but can't help but think it would be a variation on the Gladiator formula of character pathos in heros and villians. Steven S's will inevitably be carrying some heavy duty emotional story telling for the story which takes abit out of the pure adventuring aspects & set pieces of his films like that, which although appeals to lots of people, i'm far more interested in the type of stuff he can do with something like Roboapocolypse! I mean, how many films have that many O's in their one word title? :)

I would prefer Thomas Brookside's version of the Moses story...
by FluffyUnbound
...from THE LAST DAYS OF JERICHO: the Hebrews as desert barbarians using the magic powers of their monster-god to commit a genocide of their civilized neighbors. Spielberg could do that story justice, since the Ark makes an appearance and there's some face-melting involved.

"If Spielberg uses the same Ark I'm in for a ticket."
by buggerbugger
Spielberg's Ark in 'Raiders' is the same as the Ark seen in 'David and Bathsheba' from 1951. No idea if that's an intentional movie ref. on Spielberg's part or if both Arks were based on an illustration that pre-dated them, however.

Aranofsky better than Spielberg and Scott?
by pr0g2west
I don't know if I would go so far as to say that. Aranofsky's films are all great. But he has 5 to his name, he makes a film every 4 years. And all of his films have the same underlying theme, the fragility of the human phyche. But how does that compare to the brilliance of Scott and Spielberg? They are versatile directors who delve into many different genres and themes...and their films are great. Just because they are popular doesn't mean they suck as directors. Aranofsky is great at his own thing, and so are Spielberg and Scott.

Aronofsky > Scott & Speilberg right now
by Domi'sInnerChild
I mean that by if one of them has a movie coming out, my expectations are highest for Aronofsky because he's at the top of his game right now and the other two have been slumping for a decade. Aronofsky = MVP candidate in 2012. Scott on Speilberg = still active HOF players playing out their last few seasons. Although Aronofsky making a Bible movie sounds like his numbers are going to dip because he just signed a big contract to hit in AT&T Park.

by gotilk
I just hope above all that the Monopoly movie falls through and he makes ANY of the other projects he's looking at. I don't care if it's planned to be the ultimate 99% movie motivator. I just never want to see that movie get made.
June 5, 2012, 2:09 p.m. CST
by gotilk
Got that right. Chariots of the Gods is more believable. If Spielberg ever makes a Noah movie, (which is what I thought he was doing, not a Moses film) I seriously want the ark to be in the ark. In a box.

This was the perfect solution for my situation, already having a Thule roofrack, but having switched from a car to a pickup (w/bedcover that precludes any rack that uses the bed or the stake holes); needed to carry windsurfers and kayaks. Very easy to install and fit. My only gripe is that the stabilizer straps just have a simple pull-through cam lock with no mechanical reduction, so it's hard to get them really taut; I might replace them with something with a mechanical reduction, (like a trucker's hitch)to reduce the load on the welded L-joint (I've heard rumors that the weld can crack over time from taking all the torque from the load if the straps aren't tight enough). Still, a great piece of gear all in all.

Actually, they stated a number of times that any addon that makes choices for the player that trivializes content is a no-no, and that AVR was likely going to be stopped. Shortly after "likely" came "Will be broken and it's mother fornicated with".
They are very much opposed to addons that place markers automatically, and I'm very certain the only thing saving boss mods is they just tell you WHEN to do something, not how(which is what avr did). Don't expect it's return anytime soon.

Professor Cook Elected Fellow of the AAAS
L. Pamela Cook-Ioannidis, professor of mathematical sciences and associate dean of engineering at the University of Delaware, has been elected a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). The award will be officially made at the AAAS annual meeting in February.
Prof. Cook was specifically recognized for her "significant contributions to the mathematics of fluids (compressible and viscoelastic) and to the profession, particularly in proactive service and leadership within SIAM," the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics. She is currently SIAM's vice president for publications, formerly was editor-in-chief of a SIAM's Journal on Applied Mathematics (SIAP) and is an inaugural fellow of the society. She also served on the SIAM council, and is currently an associate editor on SIAP. Prof. Cook's research focuses on mathematical modeling of fluid mechanics, with a current emphasis on complex fluids — such as those used in shampoos and others that don't behave like water. She is conducting research on surfactants, or fluids that can act as detergents or dispersants.
At UD, she served as chairperson of the Department of Mathematical Sciences for nine years and chaired the University's Commission on the Status of Women for six years. She is currently a faculty scholar with the College of Arts and Sciences' Center for the Study of Diversity. She is very interested in improving the recruitment and retention of women in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), especially at the faculty and graduate student level.
She has also received the 2012 University Change Agent Award from the Women Engineers ProActive Network. Congratulations to Prof. Cook!
(This article is based on the UDaily announcement of the award by Ann Manser, 10 December 2012.)

8 PM Joe Marson
Joe Marson is a soulful singer/songwriter who combines wisdom and wit with lyrical guitar playing. Following a six-year, soul-searching journey across the United States (playing hip hop in Oregon, jazz in Boston, folk songs in Arizona, and blues-rock in Austin, Texas), Marson now lives in beautiful Brooklyn.
9 PM Soundswell
Original Jam based music that you can move your body to.
10:15 PM Brothers Moving
With a sound derived from the pulse of their native Denmark and honed in and around New York Cities' Union Square, Brothers Moving is the result of four young, travelling musicians trying to lighten the load of constant road rambling through music. Built on no special concept or genre, their first street show found the group fresh, with no set list, no defined aesthetic, not even a name.
The Brothers' music is the result of playing in the streets, where a marked value placed on mobility, enigmatic energy, ingenuity, and simplicity will always remain the cornerstones of solid performance. Rooted in the folk, funk, soul, rock & blues they love, it is the pure and raw result of impulse and creativity happening when four brothers pick up their instruments and let the rest go.
Check out thier video!
11:15 PM Grant's Tomb
Grants Tomb, hailing from Greenwich Village is powered by many of the young lions on the New York jazz scene. They combine elements of rock, jazz, blues, they add a taste of funk and a slice of americana to create a vibrant sound, new and fresh while still paying homage to past musical traditions. Their blazing horns, dueling keys and rock solid rhythm section is creating a buzz on Bleecker St, not seen in years. Grant's Tomb jams every Wednesday night at the legendary club Kenny's Castaways, a perfect setting for the band, with it's incredible history and tradition of launching many of the music industries biggest stars since the 60's.
Grant's Tomb is comprised of conservatory trained jazz musicians most from the prestigious Manhattan School of Music, and got their name from Grant's Tomb Park a block away, a favorite band hangout.

Cemex and Cementos Are the Stocks to Buy in Construction Boom
By Phillip Woolgar - August 17, 2013 | Tickers: CPAC, CX, USG
I sometimes kick myself when realizing I missed a golden opportunity to invest in a sector poised for substantial growth. Perhaps you can relate? For example, the share prices of stocks in the construction market have taken off like a bullet train, leaving me at the station to make a swift snag for my phone to call a slow-moving bus to attempt taking me to "Profitville."

These Companies Are Finding It Difficult to Handle Their Debt
By Rupert Hargreaves - July 8, 2013 | Tickers: STNG, USG, VMC
Debt can be useful for expansion, capital spending, or leverage returns. However, too much debt can rapidly lead to stagnating returns, poor cash flows, and a rapid descent into zombie state.
There are some signs that suggest we could be standing at the foot of a debt crisis as companies that have borrowed heavily in this period of low interest rates will have to refinance at higher rates in the more »
Homebuilder Sentiment Surges Above Expectations
By Damian Illia - June 28, 2013 | Tickers: MLM, USG, VMC
Mortgage rates have picked up substantially in recent weeks ahead of the FOMC meeting, reducing homebuyers' housing affordability. As a result, homebuilders may become concerned about falling demand. On the bright side, the housing outlook remains positive due to housing starts up a strong 28.6% YoY and permits up 20.8% YoY. Moreover, the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Housing Market Index, a measure of homebuilder sentiment, surged more »
Are These 3 Housing Plays Still Safe?
By Rupert Hargreaves - June 27, 2013 | Tickers: LEN, TOL, USG
Back in January, green shoots in the housing market were just starting to show. Home prices had risen 7.4% during 2012 - the most since 2005.

Early Birds to Fly With as Commercial Construction Wakens
By Arturo Cuevas - March 25, 2013 | Tickers: APOG, OC, USG
If U.S. residential construction is on the mend as shown by the vibrant February housing starts, how far behind can commercial construction be? There's a lag of one to two years for commercial construction to catch up to overall economic growth, most industry analysts agree. Hence, with the country's recovery yet in its nascent stage, it may be next year at the earliest that solid opportunities will more »

3 Companies that will Benefit From the Recovering Economy

Stocks That Outperform Gold

Gold. For heaven's sake, Gold. It's shiny, it's yellow. It's been valuable for a long time. Good for gold.
But how good? It's always been clear to me that, to a certain extent, the value of gold is very overblown. There are certain elements of the investment universe that value gold above all things. I'm not entirely certain that value is rational. Some people more »

The housing recovery is gathering momentum and many investors are already positioning themselves to profit from it. Warren Buffett, in his 2011 Letter to the Shareholders, made a case for optimism in the housing market and has since backed it up by expanding Berkshire's mortgage operations in Florida and recently acquiring Prudential Real Estate franchise. With the declining supply in existing homes on the market, new construction is now more »

I haven't read Shane Claiborne's book Jesus for President yet, but I borrowed the title of this post from one of the chapters. This post actually has little to do with the Amish or homeland security, but I wanted to point out two interesting items shared with me by a friend from church.
The first is a blog entry by Greg Boyd (who is mentioned in a previous YAR post) entitled, A Word to My Mennonite Friends: "Cherish Your Treasure!". Just let's not let it go to our heads.
The second is a segment from American Public Media's Speaking of Faith (R) called Evangelical Politics: 3 Generations which features Charles Colson, Greg Boyd and Shane Claiborne. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this segment and would be interested in hearing your thoughts.

NIT snubs Denver; Pios' season ends at 22-9
Despite NYC Buckets' late change to its NIT projection, putting Denver in the field at the eleventh hour, the Pioneers were in fact left out by the NIT selection committee last night, probably doomed by the 11 teams who received automatic bids for winning their leagues' regular-season titles (then losing in conference tourneys).
Having been rejected by the NIT, Denver appears to have turned down any overtures by the CBI and CIT, the sub-NIT "alphabet soup" tourneys run by the Gazelle Group and CollegeInsider.com, respectively. Whether that decision was made because the school didn't want to "pay to play," or because DU considered those tourneys beneath it, or some combination thereof, I don't know. But in any event, Denver's season is officially over, with a school-record 22 wins against 9 losses, but no postseason bid. Bummer.
Meanwhile, last night, a write-up of the Sun Belt title game (and semifinals), co-written by a trio of Sun Belt recappers — North Texas fan Ross Lancaster, Western Kentucky fan Cortney Basham, and myself — was published on the Mid-Majority's 800 Games Project. It looks at the same events from our three perspectives, and is titled "Thrill of Victory, Agony of Defeat." This morning, it was declared the winner of the 800GP's Championship Fortnight contest, out of 135 entries, which is pretty cool. I'm really proud of the piece, which I edited into a single recap from Ross's and Cort's separate write-ups, adding a bit of my own perspective in the process. Although I only wrote a portion of it, I think it's the best thing I've done for the 800GP this season. Anyway, here it is.
Last but not least, my 17th annual free NCAA and NIT pools are underway, over on my Living Room Times blog. A women's NCAA pool will start up later tonight. Come fill out your brackets and join in the fun!

Construction begins on large mixed-use complex in Richardson, Texas
$140 million project combines apartments, shopping, office space, townhomes
Brick Row is the third large mixed-use development going up near one of the city's light-rail stations.
Just north of the Arapaho Road station, developers are building a large apartment and retail complex called Eastside.
And near the Galatyn Park rail stop, construction is under way on more apartments and shops, which will join a large complex of office, hotel and public buildings.
"Brick Row is definitely giving us the critical mass we are looking for," said Bill Sproull, president of the Richardson Chamber of Commerce. "It has a lot of elements that we think will make it successful.
"And the developers have good partners and financial backing."
More important, Mr. Sproull said, the Brick Row complex should spur additional redevelopment between Greenville and North Central Expressway.
"We are optimistic that Koll Development will do some creative things with the old Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas complex."
Koll Development is building Blue Cross a $265 million office complex farther north, and it plans to redevelop the old building at Spring Valley and North Central.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Farmers are being warned that their manure storage facilities could overflow, especially in southern Wisconsin where most of last week's torrential rains occurred.
Also, state agriculture officials say the spreading of manure on saturated farm fields could lead to additional runoff in nearby lakes and streams.
Sara Walling of the state Agriculture Department says engineers are working with farmers on the matter.
Greg Baneck of the state's Land and Water Conservation Association urges farmers to contact their local conservation agents. He says they might know about alternative storage sites with excess capacities.
Up to 13 inches of rain fell in parts of southwest Wisconsin late last month, and virtually all regions of the state had at least one major downpour.

High-Altitude Skincare Tips
8,000 feet of elevation is no joke. Obvi, but true. I was in Colorado this weekend for a wedding and in addition to wheezing up every set of stairs, I also got a serious case of high-altitude skin. Desiccated, flaky, wind-burned, and sensitive — not so pretty. Luckily, I had the chance to visit the lovely Allegria Spa at the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek, where I landed in the exceedingly capable hands of esthetician Victoria Mastrogiovanni. Not only did the 11-year spa veteran revive my skin with a mix of SkinCeuticals and Epicuren hydrating products, she also gave me her high-altitude skincare secrets.
Brush, don't scrub: Instead of sloughing away dry skin, Mastrogiovanni uses a Clarisonic face brush to cleanse every other evening. She says it's much better at removing makeup and keeps skin fresh.
Layer on the moisture: Don't just slather on the thickest cream you can find. Mastrogiovanni says it's more effective to apply layers of hydration, even though "it's annoying because it's more steps." Our go-to choice? Caldrea's nourishing body lotion.The lightweight formula comes in three signature scents, while plant-based botanical increase elasticity and hydration.
Invest in a superhero gel: Hyaluronic gels boost your skincare products and helps the moisture bind with cells instead of sitting right on top of the skin.
Mastrogiovanni's routine: Cleanse skin with a Clarisonic brush every other night. Use a hydrating toner like SkinCeuticals Revitalizing Toner, followed by a nutritive serum like SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF and Hydrating B5 Gel. Finish with moisturizer with SPF.

My Protector: A Raphael (TMNT) Love Story Part FiveHey guys I'm sorry for the delay! I am trying to update as often as I can :) anyway I hope you all enjoy! Let me know what you think as I love to hear from you guys :)
- Story Start! -
It had been over a week since I'd been to see... Raph. I winced, even thinking his name was too painful. I sighed and turned over. It was three in the morning. I tried to get to sleep but lately I'd been finding it difficult and he was always on my mind. In that instant I made an impulsive decision to go and sit on the roof, just for some thinking time. Casey and April were out so I had the apartment to myself but I really wanted some fresh air.
As I opened the window the cool, crisp New York air hit my face. I climbed carefully onto the fire escape and made my way onto the roof. Sitting near the edge of the building, I found myself gazing at a sea of bright lights. As they twinkled, I felt that I was able to appreciate why Casey liked this place so much. It was pretty in its strange, busy way. Though it still didn't feel like home. I sighed. Maybe I was just feeling homesick, but there was a strange feeling that I had inside me. It was like a calling, to go back home. To go to a place where I knew where everything was, knew the people and to be somewhere where I felt safe. But if I was being honest with myself, I really wanted to get away from this uncomfortable atmosphere between me and Raph. For some reason he hated me and I couldn't think of why. Maybe he regretted saving me that night... I felt a shudder down my spine that had nothing to do with the weather.
'You cold?' A voice asked.
I jumped and turned around only to see a large figure, hidden by the shadows.
'Who are you and what do you want?' I asked, my voice going higher in pitch due to the immense fear I was suddenly feeling. Would anyone hear me scream?
'It's Raph' The voice replied. The figure moved from the shadows revealing Raph in his nightwatcher outfit, except his helmet was off and once again I was hypnotised by his honey-brown eyes.
'What do you want?' I asked icily.
'I just wondered if you were ok' He answered gruffly.
'Yeah well I don't need your help okay' I replied loudly.
He looked surprised for a moment then his expression changed to one of anger 'Hey what's with the attitude problem?'
I stared at him 'You think I have an attitude problem? How about you ask that of yourself, I mean you save me then you refuse to talk to me or even look at me and now you're acting all concerned? Do you regret saving me or something coz I-'
'What?!' He exclaimed 'You think I regret saving you from those, from those-' He broke off unable to find a word to describe what he thought of my would-be attackers.
'Yeah I think you do.' I said angrily, clenching my fists.
He glared at me 'Look I never regretted saving you for one second I just find it difficult to be around you okay?'
'Well I think I figured that out for myself and no it's not okay but it doesn't matter so why don't you just leave me alone' I said coldly. Then I turned on my heel and headed down the fire escape, not stopping till I reached flat. When I got inside I didn't even bother to close the window, I just sat down on the sofa with my head in my hands trying not to cry.
'Emily?' It was Raph. I heard him close the window and walk towards me. I couldn't answer him as the tears had started, so I just ignored him. Just then I felt a hand on my shoulder. I let out a small gasp and turned around only to be face to face with Raph. With him standing and me sitting the height difference felt even more pronounced, except that I didn't feel as intimidated as I should have.
His face changed from concern to... shame? I couldn't quite tell but he came sat next to me, rubbing his face with his hands.
'What have I done?' He murmured.
'What do you mean?' I asked, my voice a little shaky from the tears which were trickling down my cheeks.
'I've hurt you and all along I thought I was protecting you, I thought I was doing the right thing'
'I d-don't understand' I stammered.
He looked up at me, unleashing the full force of his hypnotic eyes. 'I love you Emily and I've been trying to squash my feelings for you and it hurt me more than you can ever know. But that's ok because it was only me getting hurt, and now I've hurt you. That goes against every instinct within me and now because you're hurting so am I, even more than before.' He sighed as I sat there stunned.
'You, you love m-me?' I asked uncertainly.
'More than anything' He replied; his voice full of determination and his eyes focused on me. But then he sighed 'I felt bad about it because well, first of all you're human and second of all you're my best friend's sister'
My breath got caught in my throat, was this really the reason he'd avoided me?
'Though I guess you must hate me now huh?' He chuckled without any hint of humour in his voice.
'I could never hate someone who saved my life; in fact' I took a deep breath for courage 'In fact I think I love you too'
He stared at me, his eyes wide 'You don't have to say that'
'I'm not' I replied 'I'm not just saying it. It's true'
He stared at me in disbelief. I took another deep breath and moved across to the other end of the sofa, where he was sat. I moved my hands up to his face and felt his cool, smooth skin and it was even softer than I remembered. He was still staring at me but I ignored him and moved face closer to his. His lips were only an inch away and I could feel his sweet breath on my face. And it was so quiet that I could only hear his heart beating very loudly. Only a second later did I realise the reason his heart beat was so loud was because our hearts were beating at the same time. And then it happened. Our lips met, and there was a brief pause where we broke apart then his hand stroked my face while the other hand was tangled in my hair. I moved my arms to fasten round his neck and we kissed again. A kind of electricity ran through me and felt like there was an internal fire raging inside me. I could hardly breath because this immense feeling was taking over and I pulled myself closer to him. He gently unwound my arms from around his neck and we broke apart.
He closed his eyes and sighed 'We can't do this' He murmured.
'Why not? Didn't you like it?' I asked feeling worried.
He shook his head 'It was amazing but-'
'But what?' I asked feeling panic surge through me.
'We can't be together, Casey-'
'Casey wouldn't mind' I said automatically, but I honestly didn't know how my brother would feel if I went out with his best friend who also happened to be a mutant turtle.
Raph sighed 'He's my best friend; I can't do that to him'
'So you just want to bottle our feelings up? You want to pretend like this never happened?'
'I don't want to, but I have to. I'll never forget this though'
'I don't want to either! I love you Raph and I don't see why we can't be together-'
'You know why because of Casey and because we're... well, different'
'What does that matter? And-' I broke off as a truly brilliant idea came into my head.
'And?' Raph prompted.
'And what if Casey didn't have to find out? What if nobody did? What if-'
'You want us to be together in secret?' He asked sharply.
'Yes' I breathed 'It's the only solution'
'It's not a solution it's a problem' He countered.
'Well we don't want to bottle our feelings up and we don't want Casey to get hurt so it's the only thing that makes sense-'
'It doesn't make sense, it's madness'
'Of course it's madness I mean look at us! Come on Raph, you can't seriously want to just bury your feelings can you? I don't think I'll just be able to pretend and move on'
He took a deep breath then exhaled slowly 'You're far too persuasive for your own good' He murmured, a small smile appearing on his face.
'Yes!' I exclaimed 'I knew you wouldn't let me down!'
'Never' He vowed, holding both my hands tightly in his, before leaning in for another kiss.
- End of Part Five! Hope you all enjoyed! :) -

Going off of the rep grind thing. I remember finally getting exalted with timbermaw at level 73 and doing the final quest for the timbermaws to kill the demon that was corrupting all of the winterfall tribe. As a pally it's the perfect quest; purifying the evil taint that is corrupting the world, cleansing a region of the world. And then immediately running to reg UK and using the trinket to summon a timbermaw furbolg to fight against Ingvar the Plunderer. It was the perfect ending to the genocide of millions upon millions of felwood furbolgs.

Returning Back to Laser: Samsung Wireless Printer
Daily Find
Samsung Electronics ML-1865W Wireless Monochrome Printer
• $77.99
• Amazon
I don't know about you, but in this age of digital files, instant message and smartphones, I hardly print out anything these days except for mailing shipping labels and the occasional monochrome sheet or two. Our current inkjet photo printer is overkill and most of the color capabilities go unused, so I think I'll be trading it in for this compact wireless laser printer. Rated for 19ppm and up to 1200 x 1200 dpi effective output, it's good and plenty for home office use, and should be about a third smaller than the full size photo printer we're currently using. And best yet, I won't have to replace the toner for 1,500 pages instead of the seemingly "print 10 pages, then refill" cycle with an inkjet.

Don't buy this monumental piece of junk.
It CONSTANTLY drops off the network, is a pain to set up, and the print quality is average.
By all means dump the inkjet and go back to laser, but not if it means never being able to print anything out when you actually want to!
Lachlan: thanks for your personal feedback about this model. Did you pick an alternative model you like/recommend?
Haven't tried any of the Samsungs, but I've had a Brother 2170W for several years, and it's perfect for my infrequent printing needs. It even lived under the couch until I moved to a bigger apartment.
Second the Brother 2170W, its suited me perfectly for the past two years. Separate drum cartridge means super cheap toner too, only $16 at Monoprice and rated for 2600 pages. Hard to beat.
Thirding Brother. I have a 2040 that's still on the original toner after five years.
I have a Brother 2140, and in 5 years have only needed one new cartridge.
I even put a Dell wireless adaptor for it before Brother came out with a wireless version - so that would DEFINITELY be the one I'd buy.
Unfortunately, I'm now stuck with the Samsung (I couldn't return it), but I still have the Brother under the desk for 90% of my printing.
The Brother printers in this form factor do really well. The larger ones sometimes have print quality issues.
But having an "inkjet photo printer" for pinting black and white isn't always bad. We have many of the hp officejet 8500 and 8600 series that print ~25 ppm and we get atleast 2000 pages per cartridge (did i mention this was a multifunction?). Also, we just bought a half dozen new 8600s for $150 from staples.

Adoption stories
Abbe Longman
Birth Country: Russia
As an adoptee myself, I always knew that I would continue the blessing that I was privileged to receive by adopting my children. Last year, my husband and I traveled to Novosibirsk, Siberia, Russia to meet two little boys who were destined to become our sons. At the time, they were unrelated and living seven hours apart from each other in different orphanages ("Dyetsky Doms"). Through hardwork, perserverence, patience, love and faith, we became a family of four on October 18, 2005.
