Stress Testing
Definition of 'Stress Testing'
A simulation technique used on asset and liability portfolios to determine their reactions to different financial situations. Stress tests are also used to gauge how certain stressors will affect a company or industry. They are usually computer-generated simulation models that test hypothetical scenarios.
This is also known as a "stress test".
Investopedia explains 'Stress Testing'
Stress testing is a useful method for determining how a portfolio will fare during a period of financial crisis. The Monte Carlo simulation is one of the most widely used methods of stress testing.
A stress test is also used to evaluate the strength of institutions. For example, the Treasury Department could run stress tests on banks to determine their financial condition. Banks often run these tests on themselves. Changing factors could include interest rates, lending requirements or unemployment.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Doctors estimate that about 30 to 50 percent of all patients with chronic pain suffer from depression and there is growing evidence the depression can actually make the pain worse. Likewise, a new study on the mind-body connection in the Journal of the American Medical Association finds that, in some cases, getting rid of the depression may actually help you get rid of the pain.
Researchers discovered the patients who took anti-depressants were more successful in reducing their pain. "They're more able to more actively engage in therapy sessions, they're able to do more things to get their mind off the pain. In addition it sort of decreases the amplifier so they don't feel the pain as much", says Dr. Matt Bayazitoglu, a physical medicine specialist.
So, if you suffer from chronic pain, the recommendation from this study is that you may benefit by going to a comprehensive pain center, where doctors from different specialties work together to manage both pain and depression.

A/N Hi all. Sorry its been so long since the last update but RL has its times. Hope you enjoy the update!
Chapter 18
Changing Lanes
Ten weeks had passed since the pack laid Embry to rest. While things were still quite painful for everyone, it was slowly starting to get easier to deal with. The pack continued to run tight, frequent patrols and made sure that someone was always watching Kim and Rachel since they never located the missing vampire.
Jacob woke up, realizing that he overslept again. He had been having another great dream of hanging out with Embry. He jumped out of bed and called for Billy, only to find that Billy was already gone. They were supposed to meet with Sam about what Billy and the council felt united the packs. There was also a bonfire scheduled for that same evening, which was more than likely the reason Billy left without him. He grumbled at his dad's lack of patience then chuckled, realizing how much alike they were.
He showered, got dressed, and hurried over to Sam's place hoping that he'd be lucky enough to catch Billy before he left. When Jacob pulled into the yard, Sam was sitting alone on his front porch and Billy was nowhere in sight.
"You just missed Billy," Sam yawned stretching.
"Yeah, I figured as much. I guess he didn't want to wake me again. He thinks I'm not sleeping well. I wasn't at first, but it's gotten much better," Jacob confided. "I can actually sleep all night sometimes."
"Yeah, I know what you mean." Sam understood perfectly well.
"So did he tell you anything or is he going to make us wait a week, trying to get us together?"
"Actually, he did. He said he could have just as well told you what they found out, but he wanted to talk with us together. I guess since the timing hasn't work out, he just gave up and told me to fill you in when you got here and he'd talk with you about it when he sees you," Sam said.
"Okay, let's hear it. What does the Council think happened?" Jacob quirked his eyebrow fully interested.
"It's simple. We were all performing as one pack, working with the same heightened, intense goal in mind. We were sharing a purpose that was crucial to each and every one of us. That's what caused us to reunite. Here's the part that seems strange to me, though. I don't know. We'll see what you think about it. They said two Alphas or Co-Alphas existing harmoniously in one pack." Sam shrugged, appearing puzzled.
"Co-Alphas," Jacob repeated with the same questioning tone. "Is that possible?"
"Billy says yes. I didn't feel that I had any power over you when the packs reunited. Did you feel anything like that over me?"
"Nah, nothing at all."
"Billy said we both think so much alike that we're almost one mind anyway. We make a good team."
"A hell of a good team," Jacob chimed in.
Sam smiled. "Yeah we do." He sounded like he was becoming convinced as he listened to himself speak. "Apparently, we only had one issue dividing us and that issue isn't even an issue anymore, according to Billy."
"What was the issue?"
"I don't know. He said he'll have to talk with you about that one first."
"So what do we do now?" Jacob asked. "How is this supposed to work?"
"Hmm. I think we could operate as usual, if it's okay with you? Unless you have some things you want ironed out before we attempt it?"
"Nah, I don't mind the way you do things. I mean, it works for the pack and with the numbers we have now, I could see why it's necessary to give orders to get things done the right way," Jacob carefully rationalized then added, "But since I only make requests, the one thing that would concern me is Leah and Seth. They're used to having their free will so my only condition would be to let me handle them by myself."
"Sure, sounds good to me," Sam agreed, chuckling. "Leah scares the hell out of me anyway."
"Well, since everything's good here, I guess I'll take off. I should already be at Raven's house helping with the move. I guess I'll see you later."
"Here's the key to my pickup. You still wanted to borrow it, didn't you?" Sam asked tossing Jacob the keys.
"Yup, I'll have it back by this evening before the bonfire."
"One more thing, Jacob," Sam suddenly remembered as Jacob was walking away. "Billy said to remind you that he wants everyone at the bonfire tonight. He also said to invite Raven. He forgot to tell you that himself, and he wasn't sure if he'd see you again before tonight. And, uh… tell Leah to bring what's his fa…" Sam swallowed and took a deep breath, "tell her to bring River. He's back around here now, right?"
"Yup, he's back around, and I'll make sure they get the invitations."
Considering the tone in Sam's voice when he made his last remarks, Jacob drove away wondering if Sam was a bit jealous of River and Leah, possibly even hurting a little. Jacob figured it would certainly be natural for Sam to be a little wounded, and Jacob supposed that Leah might even enjoy that notion.
Jacob sprinted into his house when he heard the telephone ringing off the hook.
"Hello," a familiar voice said.
"Bella," he blurted, very surprised to hear her on the other end of the line. "Hey, what's up?"
"Raven, come up here!" Abby yelled from the living room.
Raven ran up the stairs anxiously, thinking that Jacob finally showed up. She wasn't expecting to see the buyers for the house already there. They weren't scheduled to arrive for a few more hours. A very nice looking family was standing in the living room.
"These are the Coronados," Abby introduced. "They're originally from Dallas, Texas."
"Hi, it's nice to meet you," Raven responded.
She sat down with Abby and politely made small talk for a few minutes before excusing herself to finish packing her room. Shortly thereafter, she heard a basketball bouncing in the driveway and thought River was back with the moving truck.
"Is this yours?" the young man asked holding the ball out in front of him. "I hope you don't mind. They're going through the house again, and I got tired of waiting around. It's Justin by the way."
"Not at all, help yourself."
Justin tossed the ball into the hoop asking, "So, what it's like around here?"
"It's wet." Raven giggled. "Coming from Texas and all. That's the only way to describe it. But after a while it grows on you. I like it here."
Raven found that Justin was a very friendly outgoing person. Before she knew it, they were shooting a game of lightning and getting along very well. He told her that he had just signed a letter of intent to play Division I College Basketball for the Washington Huskies and that his parents wanted to move closer so that they would be able to attend his games. Raven was impressed. She told him she liked watching college basketball more than she liked watching the NBA, the games seemed far more dynamic to her. Justin grinned. He was extremely easy on the eyes, but guys with light hair and light eyes weren't her type. He did have a nice smile, though, but compared to Jacob's, it didn't hold a candle.
Jacob honked the horn, pulling into the driveway in Sam's pick-up truck. He sort of smirked at Raven and Justin with some kind of look that she wasn't familiar with. She brushed it off and introduced them. They shook hands and chatted for a few minutes until Justin's parents were ready to leave.
"Nice to meet you, and good luck with your basketball," Jacob said cordially, winking at Raven.
After the Coronados left, Raven sensed some bizarre tension coming from Jacob. She was certain that it didn't have anything to do with Justin because Jacob was way too confident for that, but it was obvious to her that something was considerably bothering him. "Show me the boxes that you want me to start with."
She could tell right away that it was going to be one of those distant times. Raven showed him the boxes, and he quietly started loading them in Sam's pick-up truck. River came back with the moving van and he and Jacob got directly to work on the heavy stuff.
"I saw the Coronado boy checking you out," Abby teased, as she wrapped dishes and carefully put them into boxes. "His eyes nearly popped out of his head like he was Roger Rabbit and Jessica Rabbit entered the room when you came up."
Raven rolled her eyes, pretending not hear her. She glanced out the window to see where Jacob was, but she couldn't see him.
"I thought he was pretty cute," Abby went on.
Raven spun around facing Abby and put her finger to her lips. "Mom, shush…" she whispered, glaring. "He wasn't as cute as Jacob, now be quiet."
Abby softly laughed, agreeing. "That's true, but still."
A few minutes later Jacob came in and asked her to sit outside with him while he took a break. She held her breath until he put his arm around her, kissing her on the cheek. She softly sighed, feeling relieved that the distant moment had passed, and she was able to enjoy the comfort of his warm arm around her.
"Hey, ah, there's a family bonfire tonight. I already told River about it. Billy wants you to come, too."
"Sure I'd love to."
Jacob lifted her chin and kissed her softly then grinned. "I bet you get hit on all the time, don't you?" he asked, out of the blue.
"Where did that come from?"
"Just tell me," he said with a half smile.
Raven faked conceit, flipping her hair over her shoulders. "Well, if you really want to know… at least a few times a day."
"That much, huh?" Jacob pursed his lips, meeting her lighthearted humor with a very serious look.
"I'm kidding." Raven giggled. "What's this all about?"
Jacob's expression relaxed. "I bet that guy was hitting on you, wasn't he?" He beamed cheerfully, and Raven didn't know what to think. Something strange was definitely going on with him.
"Is Jacob Black jealous?"
"No, Jacob Black's not jealous. I just want to know." Jacob put his hands around her waist and started tickling her.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you." She laughed. "He did ask for my number, and I told him I had a boyfriend."
"And then what?"
"And then what… What do you mean?"
Jacob raised his eyebrow. "And then what?"
"And then he gave me his number for when I don't."
Jacob frowned, lowering his eyes discontented.
"I'm kidding." Raven chuckled uncomfortably, bemused by Jacob's behavior. "And then nothing. I told him all about you, and then you showed up."
Wrapping her arms around him, she pressed her face into his neck, loving the subtle, clean fresh-forest scent of his skin. She nuzzled him, breathing him in deeply. "That tickles…" Jacob squirmed, finally giving into his smile. "I guess I was a little jealous, just a little tiny bit, though…Don't get a big head."
Raven laughed. "Be quiet."
"That's not true. I was really jealous, and he looked guilty, too."
"Is that what was really bothering you Jacob?" Raven asked searching his face for an underlying answer she felt certain he was hiding.
"Not really, but I can't talk about it right now. Later for sure," he said, kissing her on the tip of her nose. "I better get back to work. I got here late enough as it is."
They finished loading all the boxes and furniture and drove to the house in La Push. Raven rode with Jacob in Sam's truck. "I don't know what's wrong with Sam's radio. It only picks up this stale country station," Jacob complained.
"That's okay. I'm from Texas, remember? Ooh, I like this song. It's an old Gary Allen song," she told him as she turned the volume up.
I don't want to hurt nobody, don't want to make nobody cry
I don't want to do wrong. I don't want to do wrong.
I don't want to tell no lies.
I'm loving you. Loving you against my will.
Your love is like a deep dark river, pulling me out to sea.
The harder I try to resist you, the weaker I seem to be.
I don't want to turn down your side street. I don't want to pull in your drive.
Don't want to see you standing there. Don't want see you standing there.
Don't want to see that look in your eyes.
Girl, I'm loving you. Loving you against my will.
"Country music sucks!" Jacob mumbled, scrunching his eyebrows together all crabby looking. Raven cast her eyes away from him, frowning. She knew without a doubt that something serious was troubling him. "Well, I think it's true and honest."
"That's what I mean, it sucks!" He scowled, practically knocking a hole in the stereo when he agitatedly banged his hand against it in a haste to turn it off.
Oh, oh! "Jacob what's wrong?" Raven sharply demanded.
"Nothing's wrong."
Liar! "Yes there is! Something's always wrong and you might as well just tell me about it!" she unexpectedly shouted.
She burned with anger toward him for the secret he was keeping from her. Raven had never felt this resentful and frustrated with him before. She was getting so sick and tired of hiding what she knew; she wanted to scream it out at him and be done with it all. She stared out the window motionless, trying to calm down before she broke out into tears.
Jacob pulled over to the side of the road and stopped the truck. "Raven, I don't want to fight with you about this."
"Is that what we're doing? Fighting, cause if it is, it's the first," she uttered softly, forcing herself to look him in the eyes.
They both stared silently at each other for a minute. A slow smile inched across Jacob's face. Raven bit her lip trying to keep from smiling back. It was no use. She couldn't resist his smile, and they both cracked up laughing. Jacob slid next to her and kissed her sweetly. "I'm sorry."
No sooner did that happen, and he was back in his distant mood, brooding around the house as he moved furniture and unloaded boxes. Raven trembled inside, darn near certain that it was the beginning of the end for her and him. "Everything's all unloaded. I need to take Sam's pickup back. Do you want me to come by and pick you up for the bonfire or do you just want to meet me there?"
"I'll meet you there… if I go. There's just so much to do around here," she claimed. She had a bad feeling about going to the bonfire and was already feeling emotionally burnt out from his ambivalent behavior.
"You have to go. I really want you to be there." He hugged her persuasively, kissing her neck, and smiled.
Judging by the despondency in his eyes, though, she could see that there was no truthfulness there.
As Jacob drove out of sight, Raven inhaled deeply, alarm bells going off inside her heart and her mind. She plopped herself down on the couch and hung her head while tears filled her eyes.
A/N The song lyrics are Gary Allen's Lovin' You Against My Will
I wonder what is going on with Jacob? Is it just jealousy or something more? The call from Bella must have been about something important. What implications will it have for his relationship with Raven? It will be interesting to see what happens at the bonfire.
Hi Seugnet du Toit,
Its something more, and you will see just what because I'm about to post the last chapter, aside form the Epilogue, that is =) thanks for reviewing all the way through the story. I can't tell you enough how much I've appreciated it!
A/N Well, the moment of truth has finally arrived.
Chapter 19
Under the Cherry Moon
Jacob sat by himself on a piece of driftwood far away from everyone else, squishing his feet in the sand as he listened to the repetitious crashing of the waves and the high pitched screeching of the seagulls. Raven wasn't there yet and he was beginning to think she wasn't going to show up.
It had been a very long, eventful day. Which had started out great, but quickly turned to totally sucking, and it could only get much worse from there.
After Jacob left Sam's, he went back home to pick up some rope that he'd forgotten when Bella and Nessie unexpectedly called.
"…are you calling to deliver my invitation to go visit you guys?" Jacob halfway joked.
"Uh, no, not exactly," Bella replied, her voice squeaking a little. "We just called to say hello. Is that okay?" She started explaining something that wasn't making any sense about why it wasn't a good time for him to come and visit yet.
Jacob laughed, carefree. "Relax, Bella. I wasn't really putting you on the spot. I was just joking." Sort of. "Anyway, I'm fine. Don't worry about it."
Bella explained that they just wanted to catch up with him to make sure that everyone else was getting along okay after everything that had happened. Nessie also had several stories of her own that she wanted to share with him.
It was really good to hear from them. He was glad they had called. Too bad they didn't have something better to talk about than the great and powerful new best friend, Nahuel. But whatever makes Nessie happy. Jacob shrugged.
When Jacob left his house, he felt great.
The day took a turn for the worse, though, when he spotted Raven outside her house playing basketball, with some guy. He could tell by the hair color that it wasn't River. Jacob was so surprised that he just drove right by and circled around the block. She was having such a good time that she didn't even notice him. Then again, he was in Sam's pickup truck. Jacob was raging with jealousy, a feeling he hadn't felt since Bella and Edward. He needed to calm down some, so he pulled over a few houses away from Raven's and sat there wondering who the guy was. He watched them laughing together while they shot around. She was making everything she tossed up, and looked pretty cute doing it. She was amazing, and if he could see it, he was sure that the guy could see it, too.
It was the first time he'd ever seen her interact with another guy because they didn't attend the same school. But after he thought about it, he was betting that a lot of guys paid attention to her.
Jacob suddenly realized that someday she'd end up with someone else anyway, and he didn't have the right to care. Just then, it hit him like a crowbar. He was a jerk. Nothing but a big thieving jerk, stealing precious time away from her.
His jealousy turned to guilt, a sickening guilt, and shame quickly overflowed him.
He felt totally selfish for wasting Raven's time. What was he planning to do? Be with her for the next few years, continuing to share close personal moments with her while Nessie grew up, and then just walking away callously. He couldn't do that.
If he wasn't always hanging around her, she could find someone that would really be free to love her, someone that she had a possible future with. He felt like he was just passing the time away with her, and she didn't deserve to be treated that way.
He had allowed himself way too much involvement, and now he was in deeper than ever. Jacob sat there watching her and trying to figure out what to do next. He finally started the pickup truck and pulled into her driveway.
He couldn't continue to be with her, no matter what. It was about time that he explained everything as delicately as possible and let whatever happens, happen. He was planning on talking to her immediately after the bonfire.
Jacob needed to find a way to impress upon her that he really did love her and it was for that reason, he wouldn't take up anymore of her time. He was concentrating on exactly how he should approach the subject with her. He knew she would be devastated and he was trying to figure out a way to help her to understand.
Would she cry? He was pretty sure that she would, and he didn't know if he could take it. It was hard enough to watch her cry the last time. The urge to tell her that he wouldn't go was extremely powerful that day when all he wanted to do was end her sadness. Would he be strong enough to overcome another compelling urge to make her feel better? He wasn't so sure.
The thought of hurting her was killing him. He did not want to do it. But the thought of not letting her find someone who could truly love her was just as bad.
Ending it had to be the right thing to do.
Only he couldn't figure out why it didn't feel like it. Scowling, he laughed to himself, mockingly—remembering going through this same conversation in his brain a couple months ago. The night he ended up telling her that he loved her.
To be fair, it wasn't like he hadn't tried to do the right thing before. It just never seemed to work out. Time and time again, he did the opposite of what his mind told him to do. He never seemed to be in control of himself when he was with her.
Excuses … excuses … Then that stupid song came on the radio and it was more than he could handle. Before he knew it, he had pissed Raven off, and he was pretty certain she wasn't going to show at the bonfire because of it.
He should probably be relieved if she didn't show up because he wasn't looking forward to the conversation anyway. But the truth of the matter was; he was tired of going back in forth with this and he wanted it to stop. Maybe she'd get so mad at him that she'd never want to see him again, completely taking away his choice to be with her. That might be for the best in the long run. At the same time, he prayed that she wouldn't hate him too much and maybe they could still be friends.
Something icy cold and wet touched his hot back, he flinched, recoiling involuntarily. He took a deep breath and inhaled the fragrance that he always found comfort in. He looked behind him and Raven was standing there with a can of soda pop and a big grin on her face, radiating the brightness that always surrounded her. He knew she shined for him but was it his imagination or was she truly, literally, glowing with a faint white light?
She sat down beside him somewhat apprehensively, wrapping her arm through his. "What are you doing way over here?"
"I was waiting for you. I wasn't sure you were going to show up because I was acting like an idiot today." Jacob forced a smile.
She smiled back, carefully it seemed, then quickly turned away. "Were you acting like an idiot today? I just thought you were acting normal," she teased, looking back at him. "Just kidding, I forgive you. Besides, I couldn't pass up being with you under a red moon and then cuddling with you near a cozy fire."
Normally Raven was pretty easy to read, but Jacob's emotions were clouding his senses and he couldn't tell if she was happy or just pretending to be. She's not going to make things easy is she?
"A red moon?" he asked, dully.
"It's a red moon again, look," Raven pointed at the moon. "It's kind of hard to see because of the overcast, but it's there."
"Huh, it is red again. Let's go sit with the others, okay? I want you to hear all the stories. By the way, I'm glad you showed up," he muttered glumly.
Raven noticed his lack of enthusiasm. "Are you sure about that?"
"Sure, I'm sure. Sorry. It's just been a really tough day." He kissed the top of her head, took hold of her hand, and they made their way to the fire.
Everyone was gathered around the bonfire prepared to listen to the legends that Billy and Old Quil retold every time there was a certain amount of new transformations or new additions to the family.
Jacob and Raven sat down on a blanket in the sand beside Billy, and River and Leah were sitting next to Sue. Embry's mom was on the opposite side, sitting with Sam and Emily.
Jacob tried to entertain himself by watching Brady and Collin fawn over one of the newest wolves. She was a pretty fourteen year old girl named Journey. He got the impression that Journey was crushing on Seth, and Seth looked irritated by all the attention she was paying him. Journey was only the second female wolf—ever—and Leah had her hands full with helping her to deal with the transformation.
River and Raven were mesmerized as they listened to the story of the Spirit Warriors. Jacob had already heard it so many times before that he couldn't seem to pay attention, and he unknowingly kept distracting Raven by restlessly squirming. Tiring, he stretched out on the blanket with his hands behind his head and looked up at the heat hazed sky, slowly drifting off to the sound of crackling pops coming from the fire. He sucked in the smoky taste blowing toward him as he yawned.
Old Quil began telling the story of the Third Wife and Jacob yawned again, barely keeping his eyes open. When Old Quil finally finished the story, he announced, "The Legend of Imprinting."
What? This story was never told during the bonfire before. Jacob sat up swiftly, wondering the reason for the change.
Enraged, as he listened to Old Quil's worn raspy voice, he sharply cut his eyes at Billy. No one seems to be able to mind their own freakin' business around here!
Jacob glanced at Raven, her expression was tense with dread and her heart was thumping with anxiety. His arm accidentally brushed against her arm, and she pulled herself completely away from him. This wasn't the way he wanted to approach the subject with her.
I'm going to kill Billy.
"The legend tells us that imprinting is love at first sight, only much stronger as it creates a persistent and constant bonding between two people that can not be broken. When their eyes meet, the will of the wolf awakens as it immediately realizes that it has found its partner. Though the wolf's will has awakened, it may take the human side some winning over. He will wait for the woman he loves by not aging, for he knows that she is the one," revealed Old Quil.
Jacob was on edge as he continued to listen. It didn't help matters that Old Quil and Billy were staring right at him, shining a huge, luminous spotlight on his already extremely guilty conscience.
Billy added, "Never before in our entire history has there ever been this many wolves at once. As we have continued on our path for knowledge, things have continued to be revealed to those of us that seek the answers, and this is what has been made known to us."
Old Quil continued, "Though the legend tells us that the bond can not be broken, the bond can be loosened, let go of completely, but not by the wolf.
"When this happens, either by death or by human choice, the way is made for another. If it were not so, survival of the wolf species would be at risk. This transfer may not be as evident to the wolf as that of the first imprint. Nevertheless, the strength and commitment of this new bond shall remain equally as powerful. It is this bond that was made known to us in the Legend of the Third Wife."
Infuriated with Billy and the Council, Jacob unwilling digested Old Quil's words as he listened to the sound of Raven's anxious heart beats slow, feeling a more depressing tone from her overall presence.
Then gradually, Jacob began to grasp the meaning of the new words that were said.
A flash of his and Nessie's recent telephone conversation powerfully surged through his mind. "He's my new best friend!" As did the nothing particularly vital way he felt after the conversation ended with her, a feeling he had grown quite accustomed to, over the months that he spent away from Nessie, Bella, and the Cullens. It had become so easy for him to get along without her in his presence. Whatever makes Nessie happy…
All at once, everything clicked into place. He realized that it was Raven that he couldn't stay away from anymore, and it was her scent that he could detect above any other, and it was her disposition that he was constantly attuned to. It was her every expression that made his world go around. Jacob ignited with exhilaration. He anxiously turned to Billy. "You knew?"
"No, but considering your behavior, we suspected something. We just needed to be sure." Billy gave him a nod of approval while Sue smiled at him with amused enjoyment.
Jacob quickly looked at Raven. She was ignorant of all that had just been spoken. It looked like she wanted to get up and leave. Jacob took hold of her hand.
"Can we go for a walk?" he eagerly asked.
She glared at him, jiggling her hand free. Ignoring his question, she stayed put. Her shoulders were slumped forward; the gleam was gone from her eyes, and the color had drained from her cheeks and lips. She stared into the fire extremely depressed.
Jacob caringly lifted her chin up with his fingers. "It's okay. I'll explain everything to you in a few minutes."
Raven closed her eyes and yanked her head away from him, refusing to look at him.
He impatiently waited for the crowd to thin out, which seemed like hours going by. Once the crowd dissolved enough, Jacob asked, "Raven, do you love me?"
Raven took a deep breath and sighed. "I do but… I know that you've been trying to tell me about your imprinting." Her voice cracked and with a painfully weak tone as she asked, "Was this the reason you wanted me to come tonight?"
"Yes, but I didn't know they were going to talk about it. They did, though, and we can be together now!" Jacob was ecstatic, however, Raven didn't notice.
She hung her head. "Now," she sulked. "Until when? Until it happens or until it's time?"
"But it has happened, that's what I'm telling you. That's what Billy and Old Quil were telling you. That's what they were telling us."
Raven sullenly refused to listen to him.
"Please just try to understand, Raven," he pleaded.
Raven interrupted him agitatedly. "Jacob, I know it happened and I do understand. But, what I don't understand is why I needed to hear about it. Stupid unbreakable bond! I don't even want to think about it; it's bad enough I know about it!"
Jacob put both hands on Raven's shoulders and turned her to face him, firmly stressing, "It's you, Raven!"
A glint of hostility flickered across her face. She was outraged and snapped, "It's not me! It's you. You're the one that knew about it all this time."
Jacob covered her mouth with his hand and desperately tried to look into her eyes. She lowered her eyes turning her head away from him, stubbornly.
Desperate for her to understand him, he was unexpectedly overwhelmed with the desire to…"Marry me!" he blurted, trying to keep his voice down.
"Wait. What? Wait a minute ... What?" Raven looked disorientated. She ran her fingers through her hair, shaking her head in confusion.
"What are you talking about? What's that supposed to do?" She scowled pursing her lips while she distractedly let his words sink in.
"Not now, someday when we're out of school or college. Someday, whenever you're ready. I don't care when, just promise me." Jacob searched Raven's glower for some comprehension.
He lifted her chin again, focused intently on her entire face until she finally met his eyes and absorbed his stare.
Speaking slowly, he said, "I asked you to marry me because it's you, and it has been you since the very first time I spoke with you that day in the alley. That's why I was never able to stay away from you."
She was momentarily stunned while trying to absorb his words. Suddenly, Raven's eyes brightened up and sparkling color came back to her face. He could see that she finally understood. A brilliant smile emerged as she began to glow radiantly with tears in her eyes.
In the next instant, she hurled herself at him knocking him on his back. The taste of her kiss was sweet mixed with salty tears, and a few tiny drops fell from her eyes to his. Her heart was beating rapidly against his chest while they shared their most explosively stimulating kiss, ever.
"Whoa, little sister, take it easy! I'm sitting right here," River reminded her, nervously laughing under his breath at the spectacle of it all.
They both reactively froze at the sound of River's voice. Raven pulled away startled, and Jacob sat back up. Everyone's eyes were centered on them. Raven flushed ruby red with embarrassment.
It's a good thing its dark out, Jacob thought.
Silly snickers were coming from some of the guys, and Jacob's ears and face felt as hot as her color which was surprising to him because rarely did he get embarrassed.
Leah stood up and attempted to yank River up beside her. "We're going for a walk," she asserted. Then she glared a silent demand to the few that were left so they would leave as well, letting Jacob and Raven know she was trying to get them some privacy.
River stood up. "We'll just be right over there," he said, pointing to a nearby log that was a little way up the beach.
"No, we won't. We're going far," Leah insisted.
"We'll be right back," River argued lowly, glaring sternly at Leah then resting his eyes back on Jacob and Raven.
"No, we won't. We're taking our time," Leah maintained, defiantly tugging at him until he gave in and hesitantly wandered off with her, up the beach.
Raven hugged her knees burying her face. She and Jacob sat in silence until River and Leah were totally out of sight and what was left of the pack took the hint and left as well.
"What about Rene?" Raven asked cautiously, raising her head slowly to meet Jacob's gaze once everyone else was gone.
Jacob's eyes widened, and his eyebrows lifted with uncertainty. "Who?" He asked, elevating the end of the word.
"I don't know." Raven shrugged.
Jacob narrowed his eyes in deliberation for a second. "Okay, I get it now." He nodded is head with understanding. "It's Renesmee, and from what I understand, we're only ever going to be friends."
Assessing Raven's demeanor, Jacob asked, "Do you want to hear the story behind that because I'd like to tell you everything?"
"I do and I promise I will, but right now. I feel exhausted." She attempted to smile but yawned instead. "But it's a happy exhaustion. You have no idea what I went through today. What I've been going through."
"Now that you mention exhaustion," he said, stifling a yawn of his own. "Trust me. I'm sure I have a pretty good idea."
He brushed his lips against hers. Lingering on every sensation, he slowly kissed her, conscientiously absorbing each of her distinct characteristics; her taste, her smell, her looks, the sound of her sighs, and the feel of her body in his arms, far more intensely than he had ever allowed himself to do before, guilt free.
"I'm sorry for all that," he exhaled.
Raven grinned blissfully. "You should be, and I know that you'll be making it up to me," she feistily smirked.
Jacob chuckled. "I will, too. I promise"
"There's something else wrong, though," she hesitantly stated.
"What?" he asked, wrinkling his forehead.
"It's about that imprinting thing … Okay," she spoke slowly and distinctly, "I know that I love you because I love you. You only love me because something's forcing you to love me. That just doesn't feel right to me."
Jacob sat quietly for a few moments, reflecting on Raven's concerns and reliving the day she first entered his life.
"I don't know if this will help you at all, but I'll tell you anyway. I liked what I saw of you, the very first time I had seen you standing in your bedroom looking out the window. I also, liked the way your voice sounded when you were singing that same evening. This was way before our eyes ever met, so I want to believe that even without the imprinting I would feel the same way about you, as I do right now."
Raven listened silently thinking about Jacob's revelation. Jacob was very absorbed in his own thoughts. He put both of his arms around her and leaned her back into him so that she was resting against him. She fit so perfectly in his arms, and she felt overwhelmingly comfy to him. His eyes were focused intently on the fire while he concentrated on how he was going to describe his own take on imprinting to her. Jacob gathered his thoughts together and began. "I didn't like the idea of imprinting myself, at first," he admitted.
He fell silent, still momentarily reasoning, and then he very thoughtfully offered, "I guess what helps me to accept imprinting now is this, I know out of all the girls in the whole world there is no girl better suited for me then you are. Lucky for the both of us, and thanks to the wolf inside of me, I'm able to recognize it."
Jacob felt Raven, quivering against him, and she quietly sighed. "Wow, that thought really does help."
A few seconds later, she turned toward Jacob and looked deep into his eyes. "Well, yes, then, I promise that I will marry you someday!" She smiled, breathtakingly beautiful, and whispered, "Thank you for your mom's red moon promise."
Jacob grinned, feeling absolutely intoxicated with peace and contentment flowing through him. He held Raven tighter, becoming aware that never had he felt as much joy as he did that very moment. He grazed her cheek and neck with his lips and quietly breathed into her ear, "My little Raven at last."
A/N Cheesy ending, I know. So what did you think? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Again, the words from the first portion of the legend of imprinting that old Quil speaks are from this website: www.quileutelegend.com/chimakoan-tribe/quileute-tribe-legend-when-a...
I want to make sure I give the site credit for them.
Hear Billy's explanation in the Epilogue, as he talks to Jacob about what transpired betweem him and Raven.
You'll also get to hear Rachel's pov on the Native American vampire. Which one of the girls did he have the hots for? What really occurred when Rachel and Kim were in captivity?
And as always, Thank You for reading, and more especially, for sticking with me until the end. =D
I like the ending. Is there any chance of a sequel to the story?
Hi Seugnet du Toit,
Glad you liked the story ending. Actually there is a sequel. Its Rachel's story. I'm trying to figure out how/if I can post it here as it is more Mature, because Rachel and Paul are the main character's and she is an adult. You will here a little more about it when I post the Epilogue. I enjoyed posting this story here, even though I didn't get much feedback. It was nice to have you with me the end =)

ETA on Web Platform Installer for SS3?
10 August 2012 at 9:53am Last edited: 10 August 2012 9:53am
Hi Guys.
Keep up the good work.
Is there an ETA on when SS3 will be available via the Web Platform Installer? Am installing the CMS for a new client and am deciding whether to wait for v3 via WPI, which I haven't had any problems with, or going ahead and installing "manually", which I don't have experience with.
Re: ETA on Web Platform Installer for SS3?

Anyone? Any insight, even if it's not in the pipeline, would be much appreciated.

Normally the MS platform work is 2-3 weeks behind a normal release, however 3.0 is a major update and requires PHP 5.3 and also mssql module updates. SilverStripe Limited produces these releases so you could email firstname.lastname@example.com and find out.

SmokeDream dictionary Smoke - what does Smoke dream mean?
If your dream featured smoke from a known source (i.e., a fire or chimney), it signifies improving financial conditions; however, if you saw or smelled the smoke but couldn't identify its source, you are likely to be in for a period of annoying worries or petty disappointments. Keep your chin up; you'll soon find comfort in new experiences. See also Cigar (or Cigarette), Pipe(s), Coal, etc.

There are so many people that don't care about their past. They are more interested in the here and now. Isn't that the way it should be? But I believe there also needs to be someone that keeps checking the rear view mirror of our lives so that we don't go off the straight and narrow path; so that we treasure what is beautiful and unique about our particular family; so that we don't forget the precious and the notorious individuals that share our genes.
Jennifer from the "But Now I'm Found" blog: My Genealogy Habit
I like the idea of genealogy as the "rear view mirror" of our lives.

Date of Award
Degree Type
Degree Name
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Professor Wilfrid Waluchow
Some legal theorists argue that legal determinations apparently based on moral arguments actually involve an appeal to extra-legal standards because legal reasoning and the conceptual structure of a legal system necessarily excludes morality (Exclusive Legal Positivism). Others argue that moral principles can be incorporated into legal systems (Inclusive Legal Positivism), or must be so incorporated (Dworkinian Interpretivism), where they operate as legal rules. Does Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms actually incorporate the moral principle of equality, or does it merely authorize judgesto appeal to that extra-legal principle as a legitimate reason for invalidating those laws which violate it? To answer that question the philosophical legal theorist must evaluate and develop an account of juridical law in the face of epistemic uncertainty about the relation between law and morality (Le. whether it is necessary or contingent). In this work I first consider the meta-theoretical characteristics of legal theories, particularly their methodologies and the evaluative criteria applied to them, so as to identify and make explicit the source of legal-theoretical epistemic uncertainty. I then argue for an approach to describing and explaining law whereby we neither ignore epistemic uncertainty nor dispense with it by means of a stipulative definition. This inclusive positivist approach, however, also requires that we abandon the ideal of a presuppositionless inquiry. Accordingly, I demonstrate how a descriptive- xplanatory philosophical account of law can make use of a presupposition and, ultimately, offer a sound defence for it. Finally, through an analysis of some aspects of Canadian constitutional adjudication, I show that inclusive positivism is most able to describe and explain the legal-moral uncertainty exhibited by participants in legal systems of a certain type, and so offers the best philosophical account of legal practices as they are understood by those who instantiate them.

The Lotus-Renault team became the fourth Formula One team to present their 2011 race cars to the media. The R31, as it's being called, was presented at the pit lane of the Valencia race track ahead of its first pre-season test session that's been scheduled for next Tuesday at the same circuit.
In addition to the presentation of the black-and-gold R31, Lotus-Renault also presented their 2011 driver line-up, featuring Robert Kubica and Vitaly Petrov. Together with technical director James Allison, team principal Eric Boullier, and chairman Gerard Lopez, Kubica and Petrov personally pulled the covers off of the R31, marking the return to partnership of two companies - Lotus and Renault - that last worked together in the 80s.
"Words like 'aggressive' and 'innovative' are very much in vogue in Formula One at the moment, but where the R31 is concerned we feel those adjectives are appropriate," Allison said.
"It's true to say that the car has been designed in an ambitious manner and a quick glance at the layout will confirm that its entire concept differs considerably, not just from last year's car, but from any car this team has ever produced."
Details on the Lotus Renault R31 after the jump.
Exterior and Interior
Similar to a lot of other Formula One race cars, the Lotus Renault R31 is built with a carbon-fiber monocoque chassis. As part of new Formula One regulations, the car will no longer have an adjustable front wing and an F-duct. The car will also have the its own pullrod rear suspension layout that Red Bull re-introduced last year after being phased out for an extended period of time.
Technical director James Allison likewise mentioned that the R31 will be a completely different car from its predecessor, saying that 92 percent of the components found on the car will be completely new.
According to Team Principal Eric Boullier, the Lotus Renault R31 will be powered by a 2.4-liter Renault V8 engine.
If you can't beat 'em, join forces and try doing it again. That's the mentality that Lotus-Renault should have heading into a season that figures to be dominated by the usual suspects including Red Bull , McLaren , and Ferrari .
F1 Season Starts In...
...the Middle East - Bahrain, specifically. The 2011 season debut is scheduled for March 11th-13th, 2011. Something tells us that this year is going to carry over the momentum carried from last year's dramatic conclusion to the season.

Premier Guest Suites in Clinton, NY
Nestled in the "Southern Hills" area of Oneida County sits the quintessential New England-style Village of Clinton, New York. After a short 10 minute drive from exit #32 of the New York State Thruway, you will discover a picturesque village which is the home of Hamilton College, a prestigious liberal arts institution showcasing one of the most beautiful campuses in not only upstate New York but all of New England. Colgate University, an equally prestigious college, is located just 25 minutes away in the neighboring town of Hamilton, New York.
The vibrant Village of Clinton is at your doorstep when you stay at one of the Williams Street Lodging guest suites. The #8 and #12 Guest Suites (their actual street addresses) are located side by side in a historic circa 1884 building on idyllic Williams Street. Each suite was originally a storefront that was converted to a guest accommodation now offering over 500 square feet of luxury with a long list of amenities sure to satisfy the most discerning traveler. These suites provide privacy with convenient access to the bustle and activity of both the village and Hamilton College.
We invite you to be our guest and make Williams Street Lodging your first choice when visiting Clinton, NY or the nearby surrounding towns of Utica, New Hartford, Rome, Vernon or Verona. Williams Street Lodging is operated by The Arbor Inn which is also conveniently located in Clinton just one turn off the Hamilton College campus.
Local Bed and Breakfast Welcomes New Owners
Aspiring Innkeepers Find New Adventure in Historic Setting
CLINTON, NY -- Life can be scripted or unpredictable, and the latter would be true for the new innkeepers of The Arbor Inn on Griffin Road, Dave and Ellen Varecka.
The former Buffalo-area couple have recently purchased the Inn from Bob and Carol Renauld, which includes the Griffin Road residence, formerly called The Arbor Inn at Griffin House, and the
Williams Street location, collectively now known as "The Arbor Inn of Clinton."
The Vareckas will tell you, excitedly, that they are brand new to the B&B world. Their road to The Arbor Inn began unexpectedly when they were on a tour of historic homes in Buffalo and stumbled upon one home in particular that just happened to be a B&B.
"It all started as a passing joke," Ellen recalls. "On our way out of the door I said to Dave, 'We can do that,' and it turned out that gorgeous B&B was for sale."
While they didn't go on to purchase that B&B, it did spark a new passion for the couple who were looking for an adventure after retiring. Dave was a principal partner of an architectural firm; Ellen
had an extensive career in business operations and human resource management.
"We were ready to leave our corporate lives," Dave adds. "We just weren't ready to settle down."
The couple describes their discovery of The Arbor Inn as rather serendipitous. They arrived in Clinton on a typical snowy, cold upstate New York night. Ellen says when they walked into the warm and inviting Arbor Inn, it felt like home.
They also explain that they were attracted to the Inn because of its unique setting. "We like that it has rural ambience but is still close to urbanlike amenities," Dave adds.
Returning guests won't notice any striking differences to The Arbor Inn or William Street Lodging. Dave and Ellen say they don't plan on making any major changes other than enhancing the common area, and adding their own personal touches.
The couple also sees being new to the area as an advantage. They plan to immerse themselves in the college, village, and business communities.
"We see ourselves as being cheerleaders, advocates for the local colleges. Having grown children and the experience of being a college parent, we understand where they are coming from," Ellen explains. "We find this thrilling and exciting that we'll be even closer to our own family near Syracuse."
On August 1, Dave and Ellen opened the doors of The Arbor Inn on Griffin Road and William Street Lodging as new innkeepers. They plan to continue catering to guests visiting Hamilton College, Colgate University, Utica College, and all upstate New York attractions. They also plan to promote to business travelers with special, corporate and extended rates.
The Renaulds opened The Arbor Inn as a B&B in 2000. The first guest suite at Williams Street Lodging opened in 2009.
The Arbor Inn on Griffin Road has two guest rooms and three suites. For comfort and convenience they offer complimentary high speed wireless and internet access, central air conditioning, ceiling fans in every room, and a full breakfast menu seven days a week.
The luxuriously appointed Williams Street Lodging, #8 and #12, are ideal options for business travelers, extendedstay guests, or families up to four persons. Complimentary wireless internet access is available at both suites.
The Arbor Inn is located less than one half mile from the Hamilton College campus, 25 minutes from Colgate University, and just 10 minutes from the New York State Thruway. Williams Street Lodging is located at 8 & 12 Williams Street, in the heart of the village.

The Science Museum of Western Virginia received approval on Monday from the United States Department of Agriculture to order and eventually display exotic butterflies in the museum.
The government regulates insects that come in from other countries. The approval process has taken about a month. The butterfly building needed modification before it could pass inspection.
Right now, the museum showcases four of the seven butterfly species native to the United States.
About 150-200 butterflies are on display at the museum.
"We need about twice that amount for the garden to be really full and hopping," says Jim Rollings, executive director of the museum.
The expectation is that the exotic butterflies could be flying around in the next two to three weeks if everything goes as planned.

I find it very strange when I hear players hate on a game. I myself have been guilty of it I know. But any more I really feel that if some one is enjoying a game, It is a good game.
I find that so often a negative experience with a game has led to the hard feelings. Which is sad. Worse still is when its not first hand hate. Its reading blogs, reviews, or message boards. Suddenly the person is an expert on the short comings of this game or that game.
Some players don't like hitpoints, finding them "unrealistic". Others don't like rolling a d20, and are convinced only systems with a bell curve are worth playing.
I was like this once too. Jumping from system to system looking for that perfect game. Again, you know what I learned? Fun trumps realism and game mechanics. Trying to dictate how best to have fun by way of mechanics or "realism" in a game is like explaining a joke. If its funny it requires no explanation. and if its not, explaining it rarely makes it so.
I personally don't think any current game I run is perfect. Not one of them is the most realistic. But as a GM I enjoy running them. My players seem to enjoy playing them. That makes them the perfect game to me.

Real Testimonials From Lang's Clients
"Lang was my real estate agent a few years ago when I was selling my first place and I was extremely happy with the results. He truthfully answered all of my questions, provided me with market insight and helped my listing become more attractive to prospective buyers. Lang was instrumental in me finding a great new home that suited my needs and at the right price. When it came time for me to move again, I knew exactly who to call and Lang delivered excellent results again."Jason Egbuna, Seller
"Just wanted to take a moment to say a grateful "Thank You!" to you Lang for facilitating the process of helping us sell our home. From our initial telephone conversation to the final details of the documentation, you covered everything with a thorough and professional manner that Nathalie and I appreciate greatly. We are still speaking about how smoothly the process went and how everything from the initial presentation, to the way the home was marketed, to the negotiation with the buyers was seamless!"Michael S, Seller
"Dear Lang, We just wanted to send our gratitude and extended thanks once again for your professionalism, on selling our home. We have dealt with many agents in the past and nobody comes close to the way you handled the complete transaction of selling our home. You are one of the rarest real estate agents out there!!! One thing we hate are pushy sales people, that don't care about their clients and simply want to sell your house at the lowest possible price to sell fast and make their commission and leave. You on the other hand were there anytime we needed you, and listened to exactly what we wanted and needed. You are very thoughtful, considerate and understanding, and on the ball at any time of the day we contacted you. And best of all you got us the price we wanted and deserved for our home. We respect and appreciate all that you have done for our family, and we will definitely be contacting you for any real estate transactions we may make in the future."Angela and Joe Clarke, Sellers
"Congrats, Lang I wish you the best of luck! I like to thank you for what a great job you have done to help me and Tina sell and buy our home. You have gone way above and beyond your job functions. Not only are you honest and true, but you keep it real! You are down to earth and straight to the point kind of guy. Once again thank you for what you have done for us."Daniel and Tina Colque, Sellers

It's been a rough few years for the Los Angeles Angels.
After opening up their pocket books, the Angels have been severe disappointments, missing the playoffs four straights seasons despite having some of the biggest names in the league on their roster.
Now the on-field problems have grown into front office issues as Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal is reporting that there is growing tension between manager Mike Scioscia and general manager Jerry Dipoto, which could lead to owner Arte Moreno making a move to resolve the riff this offseason:
Tension persists between Dipoto and Scioscia, according to major league sources. Attendance also is an issue – the Angels have declined from an average of 42,059 in 2006 to 37,149 this season, their lowest figure since 2002. And their current average likely will decline further with the team essentially playing meaningless games the rest of the season.
Dipoto would appear in greater jeopardy than Scioscia – the GM was responsible for the ill-fated acquisitions of right-handers Joe Blanton, Tommy Hanson and Ryan Madson last offseason. What's more, Dipoto also is under contract only through 2014, while Scioscia is signed through '18.

Happiness Vs. Nihilistic viewpoint
Both emotions and states of mind are within the mind and from an "atheist" point of view such things wouldn't exist. Objectively speaking, is it worth pursuing happiness understanding that it is only within the mind? Yes it is and understandable argument that we should try to best enjoy the life that we live rather than live painfully but is it really morally correct to idolize happiness and make it the center of life? I would think that any type of answer besides criticism would help in satisfying the question.

Joshua Bond 20+Nov 3 2013: Hi Gabe,
Important question; thank you.
The good things in life tend to come indirectly. Put in a different language we could say "it is in giving that we receive". By moving outwards in trust and compassion towards others, the inner roots of happiness (fulfillment) grow by themselves.
The direct search for happiness has the habit of becoming a narcissistic approach to life whereby everything and everyone is viewed as a resource for the singular purpose of making me-myself-and-I happy. It doesn't work that way in my experience. I think many ancient sages would agree with that sentiment too.
Some people are born with a strong pre-disposition to feeling that life is meaningless, and adopt a nihilistic viewpoint. However one can also, instead, adopt a viewpoint that life IS meaningful and embark on life's journey as a search for that meaning. From young teenager onwards I adopted this latter approach and can say that 40 years later through many times of despair and despondency, fulfillment and happiness are gifted as some kind of grace, partly I guess by never giving up hope. (In this respect I can recommend Viktor Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning").

Autobiography of a blackboard.
Hello,I look a mess don't I ? I was not so when I was fabricated and coated black it took two sturdy men to install my six feet by four feet frame, then the principal asked workmen to crown me with two fluorescent tubes. This took place 10yrs back.
I still remember the day, the principle Dr.Shastri said I was to be the visual aide for the first formers. He called sixth standard students. The batch had Nayana who was the star pupil. Each teacher had her or his won idiosyncrasies. Elvira taught English, no mater clean I was she would dust me and fill me with her large bold writing. Then there was indira who taught science the writing was forceful she used to hurt me when she wrote, but her writing was neat and precise like her. Infact after she wrote on me I really looked elegant. Gauri who taught Hindi her hand was light smooth and flow like her. Then there was Mr.Ramachandra who taught history he never used me! Dr.Niranjan who taught mathematics used to scribble so hard that the chalk broke he then threw the chalk at the kids.
Nayana the class representative cleaned me up every morning. Wrote the date, the strength of the class, the number of absentee's and the topic for the day. She used to clean out the duster holder and fill in new chalks.
Nayana has passed out of her sixth form; there have been successive monitors and waves of new teachers. With the advent of the flip charts and projectors the strain on me has reduced. Ten years down the line though past my prime I am still capable of fair amount of work.
Mr.Ramachandra has retired and there is Ms.Prathima who has taken over, she believes in field trips and picture projections and has little use for me. Though she does use me more than Mr.Ramachandra, she sticks pictures on me it feels nice and cool in his heat.
Yesterday the 6th formers scribbled a farewell note to Dr.Niranjan on me, for he retired from work. Here comes the new teacher. Hello! This writing is familiar, it gentle..Yet firm..The chalk moves smoothly and the letter slants to right.. Wait a minute yes this confident miss is Nayana, she is the new math's teacher how time has flown by.

Force-Placed Insurance
What Is Force-Placed Homeowner's Insurance?
Force-placed homeowner's insurance is a product obtained by mortgage companies to protect the lender's collateral. Most mortgage contracts require a homeowner to maintain homeowner's insurance on the property. If a homeowner falls upon hard times and allows the homeowner's insurance to lapse, mortgage companies may force-place the homeowner's insurance with an insurer of the lender's choosing. Mortgage companies are taking advantage of their position of power by force-placing homeowner's insurance with insurers charging up to 10 times the usual cost of homeowner's insurance.
Lenders are agreeing to pay exorbitant fees and excessive rates for homeowner's insurance due to relationships which raise conflict of interest concerns. For instance, lenders often place the homeowner's insurance with an insurer owned by the lender or which will pay kickbacks or commissions back to the lender.
Have You Been Saddled With the High Costs of Force-Placed Homeowner's Insurance?
If you answer "yes" to any of the following questions, you may have been unfairly saddled with expensive, unnecessary force-placed homeowner's insurance coverage:
- Did your mortgage company force you to pay for expensive homeowner's insurance?
- Did the cost of your homeowner's insurance coverage more than double because of a change in the insurance company?
- Did you receive an after-the-fact notice about expensive force-placed or lender-placed insurance?
- Did you receive a large bill or have a large expense added to your mortgage insurance?
- Did your homeowner's insurance lapse and your mortgage company replace it with a more expensive policy?
- Was your homeowner's or hazard insurance switched to QBE or Assurant without your consent?
Martin & Jones Investigates Force-Placed Insurance Claims
Martin & Jones is investigating unfair and deceptive trade practice claims against mortgage companies arising from excessive charges with force-placed insurance coverage. If your mortgage company recently put force-placed or lender-placed homeowner's insurance coverage on your property, you may have legal claims and may be entitled to recover money damages. If you have any questions or concerns about force-placed or lender-placed insurance coverage, or if you know anyone who has been charged for force-placed or lender-placed homeowner's insurance coverage, please give us a call at (800) 662-1234.

The Robert Moses Causeway is an 8.10-mile (13.04 km)-long parkway in Suffolk County, New York, in the United States. The parkway, originally known as the Captree Causeway, connects West Islip on Long Island to the barrier beach islands, such as Captree Island, Jones Beach Island, and the western tip of Fire Island, to the south. It is designated New York State Route 908J (NY 908J), an unsigned reference route. The road, like most parkways in New York State, is limited to non-commercial traffic, except south of NY 27A.
Route description[edit]
The Robert Moses Causeway begins inside Robert Moses State Park, located on the western tip of Fire Island. From here, the highway heads north across the Fire Island Inlet on the Fire Island Inlet Bridge. On the north side of the inlet, the road changes from a two-lane undivided highway into a four-lane undivided highway as it enters Captree State Park and approaches a cloverleaf interchange with Ocean Parkway. The parkway becomes a five-lane divided highway with three northbound lanes and two southbound lanes in the vicinity of the junction.[2]
The parkway then traverses the State Boat Channel Bridge by way of a 665-foot (203 m)-long bascule bridge modeled after the Mill Basin Drawbridge in Mill Basin, Brooklyn. The north foot of the bridge contains an unnumbered interchange to a private road on Captree Island, where the rest of the road is surrounded by protected land. On the section that crosses over the Great South Bay, via the Great South Bay Bridge, the New York City skyline can be faintly seen on a clear day. Originally a toll bridge, the remnants of the former toll plaza for the Great South Bay Bridge can be found on the north side in West Islip. At the cloverleaf interchange with NY 27A, the third northbound lane becomes the deceleration ramp, and from there the rest of the parkway is four lanes wide.[2]
The parkway soon takes a slight northeastern turn and later rises to move over Union Boulevard (County Route 50 or CR 50), the Montauk Branch of the Long Island Rail Road, and Orinoco Drive with no access to either roads. Instead, another cloverleaf interchange is available at NY 27. The road remains elevated as it crosses over Muncey Road, and then runs along the west side of Casamento Park, before approaching its northern terminus at the interchange with the Southern State Parkway. The north-to-eastbound ramp to the Southern State and Heckscher State parkways contains an interchange of its own with CR 57 (Bay Shore Road). The other ramps exist on a partial cloverleaf just west of Bay Shore Road's interchange with the Southern State.[2]
The first sprawling trestle crossing from West Islip to Captree Island was completed in 1951. The structure is 3,206.2 metres (2.0 mi) in length with a middle clearance for boats of 18.2 metres (59.7 ft).[3] Originally, one lane was for southbound traffic and the other for northbound traffic. In 1967, a new span was built next to the original bridge, carrying three lanes of northbound traffic.[3] The original bridge was reconfigured to carry southbound traffic.
The Fire Island Inlet span was completed in 1964 and by 1985 a dual span was supposed to be built in order to alleviate traffic, but it was never done. When first proposed in 1938, the span was to be a vertical-lift span with a design similar to that of the Marine Parkway-Gil Hodges Memorial Bridge. Later, the design of the Fire Island Bridge was changed to conform with that of the Great South Bay span, a 600-foot (180 m) steel-arch span with a 60-foot (18 m) clearance.[4][5]

TORONTO -- The NHL's collective bargaining talks resumed unexpectedly and the sides are committed to staying in touch through the weekend.
An unannounced session with the primary negotiators was held at union headquarters in Toronto on Friday, with commissioner Gary Bettman and deputy commissioner Bill Daly dropping in on NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr and special counsel Steve Fehr.
The group met in both the morning and afternoon in an effort "to move this process forward," according to a union spokesman, and they are expected to keep in touch by phone over the coming days. Both sides seemed optimistic that another negotiating session would be scheduled for next week.
The NHL lockout is heading into its fourth week and has already forced the league to scratch 82 regular-season games off the schedule between Oct. 11 and Oct. 24.
In announcing those cancellations on Thursday, the league offered a conciliatory note to fans frustrated by the sport's fourth work stoppage in 20 years.
"The game deserves better, the fans deserve better and the people who derive income from their connection to the NHL deserve better," Daly said. "We remain committed to doing everything in our power to forge an agreement that is fair to the players, fair to the teams and good for our fans. ...
"We are committed to getting this done."
The sides haven't been able to find agreement on how best to split up the US$3.3 billion the NHL took in revenues last season. The league is looking for an immediate rollback on salaries while the players are pushing to have all current contracts honoured.
Negotiations have been ongoing since the end of June but progress has been difficult to find.
The lockout came into effect at midnight on Sept. 15 and has already cost the league almost $100 million in lost revenue, according to Daly.
The NHL has been pushing the union to table another offer to help break the standoff in negotiations. Donald Fehr remains open to the possibility, telling The Canadian Press earlier this week that the union is constantly reviewing its options.
"(The proposal) has to be one that is fair to the players and is consistent with what the history is and what the economics are in the industry," he said. "So far, it's been difficult to do this without the response being: 'You haven't moved far enough fast enough."'

Family and friends are still in shock three days after a tragic accident took the lives of Jesse Maldonado, his daughter Jocelyn and her mother Erica Ysasaga. Priscilla remains in the hospital with serious injuries.
"My emotions are all over the place, it just seemed unreal," said Jesse's younger sister Kimberly Maldonado.
"It's too much at one time," said Jesse's Cousin Samuel Alvarado III. "One death alone is hard but when you have three it makes it really tough. Jesse was a real family-oriented man. Everything was his girls."
Alvarado and Kimberly Maldonado said Jesse would do anything for his daughters. This past Christmas he went out of his way to make sure his youngest daughter had a tablet to play with so she wouldn't have to borrow from her cousins.
"It was just a big, happy family. They were too young for this to happen to them," Alvarado said.
Kimberly Maldonado says the love of family extended to Jesse's kids.
"Priscilla was a good big sister," Kimberly said. "She always took care of Jocelyn and watched out for her. She took her into the bathroom when she needed to go or got her something to eat or drink."
"Priscilla just had the biggest smile in the world," Alvarado said. "You could see it a mile away and Jocelyn, she would give you this mean-looking face. She was so cute when she would do it."
Each girl had a unique personality.
"Jocelyn had to be called princess, she was my princess," Kimberly said. "I'd have to call her princess Jocelyn. She loved Minnie Mouse and Priscilla she loved Monster High. She loved to put on makeup with my daughter. They would have little dress up parties."
Priscilla is still in the hospital with serious injuries. The family has started making funeral arrangements, and a fund has been established. If you would like to help, you can go to any Plains Capital Bank location in Lubbock to donate. Ask for the Maldonado/Ysasaga family memorial fund.

Economic improvements and a wealth of opportunities for business in Africa have led to an increased focus on the continent. Over the past three years Ernst & Young's Africa attractiveness reports have highlighted the continent's steady rise. Their research provides some quantitative substance to the growing perception that African markets offer an exciting growth and investment opportunity.
Africa's growth prospects differ not only country by country but also sector by sector. For example, agriculture is Africa's largest economic sector, representing 15 percent of the continent's total GDP, or more than $100 billion annually. It is highly concentrated, with Egypt and Nigeria alone accounting for one-third of total agricultural output and the top ten countries generating 75 percent.
Africa's banking sector has also grown rapidly in the last decade. Sub-Saharan Africa has become a substantial player in emerging-market banking, with total 2008 assets of $669 billion, while North Africa's asset base has grown substantially, to $497 billion. Africa's banking assets thus compare favorably with those in other emerging markets, such as Russia (with $995 billion).
However, the Ernst & Young reports also highlight a lingering perception gap between companies already doing business on the continent and those with no business presence there. The respondents with an established business presence in Africa are more positive about the continent's prospects and rank Africa as the most attractive regional investment destination in the world today. They view it as an exciting, dynamic, high-growth market. In stark contrast, respondents that have not yet invested are negative and rank Africa as the least attractive regional investment destination in the world.
The African business community should spend some time on this issue at the US-Africa Business Forum. It is their responsibility to debunk the myths that some external investors have about operating a successful business in Africa. These business leaders are successfully embracing Africa's uncertainty, complexity and volatility, understanding that these are common challenges across most emerging markets.
They are actively balancing the three tensions that all companies face in doing business in emerging markets: long-term versus short-term focus, profit-taking versus sustainable growth, and managing the whole versus optimizing the parts. Most importantly, their companies are establishing strong competitive positions in key markets and are poised to benefit from the continued growth anticipated over the next decade.
