Billions and billions served won't mean burgers at a new outlet in India.
The fast-food giant reportedly plans to open its first vegetarian-only restaurant next year in India.
The Oak Brook, Ill.-based company has been known to tailor its menus to suit local demographics. In India, for example, it already uses chicken instead of beef for its Maharaja Mac sandwich. But this will be the first McDonald's without meat on the menu.
The first location will open near the Golden Temple in the Sikh holy city of Amritsar in northern India. The second store will be near the Vaishno Devi cave shrine in northwestern Indian Kashmir, a holy Hindu temple that sees millions of pilgrims each year.
"It will be the first time we have opened a vegetarian restaurant," a spokesman for McDonald's in northern India, Rajesh Kumar Maini, told AFP. "There is a big opportunity for vegetarian restaurants (in India) as many Indians are vegetarian."

NN houses four studios that are available to artists and creative businesses to rent; it is our intention to support artists who need a space and who want to work in a lively and creative environment in the centre of Northampton.
The studios are on the 2nd floor, unfurnished, heated with wifi and 24 hour access. They have large windows, two looking onto Guildhall Road, two over NN's courtyard. There is a goods lift, access for tenants is only via the southern staircase, however, we are currently fundraising for a passenger lift.
The first six months of the tenancy will be part of a pilot scheme as we establish the studio use, and the rent will include electricity while we assess the running costs since there are no individual meters. Following this period there may be an additional charges. Studios can be rented on a 3 monthly rolling basis for up to two years, with the option to opt out every 3 months. They are priced following the National Federation of Artist Studio Provider guidelines to make sure they are affordable.
The studios are all fully occupied but to join the waiting list email firstname.lastname@example.com and to find out more about rates, terms and conditions and a waiting list application form. We are always on the look out for artists and creative individuals who will not only value the creative community but contribute to its success. We are looking for a level of commitment that ensures that the studios are occupied.

Georgia continues to lead the nation in bank failures.
Regulators seized and sold two more struggling metro Atlanta banks late Friday — the 15th and 16th failures in Georgia this year, AJC writer Scott Trubey reports.
Stockbridge-based High Trust Bank and Atlanta-based One Georgia Bank were seized and sold to Ameris Bank of Moultrie, Trubey writes. The banks will reopen under the new flag during normal business hours, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. said.
Georgia leads the nation with 67 failures since mid-2008, Trubey reports.
High Trust had total assets of $192.5 million and deposits of $189.5 million, and One Georgia had total assets of $186.3 million and deposits of $162.1 million, according to the latest FDIC data.
The regulator estimates the failures will result in a $110.4 million combined loss to its insurance fund, which protects depositors, Trubey writes.

It is unbelievable to me that the people of Georgia have not demanded more regulations for community and State banks. It appears that residents are not making the correlation between failed banks and lower property values that have resulted as the banks/developers default on their obligations.

When will stealing from a bank bring jail time, look at the salaries of the folks that ran these banks into the ground. Shareholders should be angry and want justice.
July 18th, 2011
7:44 am
I talked to a solid Bank/Banker Friday and he said we have another 60 – 80 banks to go that will either merge or fail and get bought out…. He feels the Reg. now only wants about 100 banks nationwide and is encouraging these with crazy regulations that are unattainable…
July 18th, 2011
8:17 am
MM, stealing from a bank SHOULD bring jail time but now top executives are not only getting away with it, they are fnding ways to profit from it. How this is not being investigated by the regulators or reported on by the AJC is beyond me.
On June 17th of this year a south metro bank failed and was seized by the FDIC, which estimates the total cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund will be $80.0 million. That means you and I will wnd up paying it eventually.
The top two executives of the failed bank landed well paying, executive positions with the bank that purchased the failed institution because the "Good Ole Boy' system is alive and well in the banking industry. One of these fellas went to college with a top executive at the purchasing bank. There are not only no consequences for ruining a bank, costing taxpayers and shareholders millions in the process, there is great gain in it for these guys.
While they left a trail of destruction in their wake, it is business as usual for them. I live in the same small town the failed bank is in and it amazes me that this is allowed. Now we are hearing the purchasing bank has plans to buy other failed ones, possibly even allowing directors of the failed bank to invest in these purchases. The rank and file shareholdres and taxpayers foot the bill while the very bankers who ran the bank in the ground walk away, again with no consequences but instead to financial gain.
If there is an outrage to the entire situation, that is definitely it. The regulators and the banking department, however, seem content to look the other way. It is baffling.
July 18th, 2011
10:11 am
Just to clarify, the FDIC insurance fund is not taxpayer funded so the taxpayers have nothing to do with this. Banks pay the premiums into the fund so it is self-funded Secondly, the shareholders knew the risks inherent in their investments. They weren't guaranteed a return from their investment. You can't feel sorry for them.
Also, community banks aren't failing because of bad mortgages. They are failing due to write-downs in value on real estate they now own, losses on the sale of this real estate and lack of interest income on the commercial loans that are now not paying. Unbelieveably, the majority of these institutions fail due to losses that are paper losses. They haven't even been realized yet. The typical community bank does the majority of its business on the commercial side. Consumer mortgages and the values underlying them aren't even playing a part here.
July 18th, 2011
10:35 am
we lead the nation in banks closed, and probably in the number of banks that are on the edge. and the respective banking committees of the georgia legislature have not had a single hearing on the matter, nor has the general assembly taken any action to increase oversight or require the banks to get their house in order. the legislature is owned by the banking community. sad.
July 18th, 2011
11:58 am
It is a reflection of the high ethical standards Georgians have.
July 18th, 2011
12:02 pm
Steven, there a couple of flaws in your response. We as taxpayers will foot the bill for the mismanagement of banks if we want to have a bank account. Banks are already raising fees for everything, deposit and loan related. Customers will have these losses passed on to them.
Also, many community banks' losses are in fact real; as they have sold property at reduced prices they have used up capital to make up the shortfall. And these losses are due to grossly inflated loan portfolios that consisted of acquisition and development loans on vacant and/or undeveloped subdivision and construction loans on houses that did not sell.
Bankers were addicted to fee and interest income and gained a false sense of security, mistakenly assuming that continued demand for housing and the continued increase in property values would drive the market. Their growth strategies were based on this vey assumption and they missed horribly.
I also say some sympathy is due the rank and file shareholders. While their investments were surely at risk in any environment they trusted these folks with their savings and were told how safe their investment was. Greed and a lack of foresight by many bankers led to this crisis. Senior Management and Boards of Directors should most assuredly be held accountable.
July 18th, 2011
2:00 pm
"Senior Management and Boards of Directors should most assuredly be held accountable."
Board (non)governance is a huge factor in the GA community bank fiasco.
These boards frequently are made up of local luminaries who add some cachet of respectability but who often are clueless when it comes to running a bank. I recall an AJC article awhile back in which a director of a failed GA bank was asked why he allowed mismanagement and other shenanigans to bring down his bank. His response was something like, 'I was only a director, how was I supposed to know about that?'.

bankers made millions from all this fraud and the taxpayers are on the hook for billions in bailout cash.

Will economics end national wars?
In a global economy, if you start a war, you will be attacking either your customers or your suppliers, or both. In any event, you risk hurting your own economy more than your enemy's.
When India and Pakistan started rattling their nuclear sabers, the US corporations threatened to pull out, and peace was achieved.
There is serious talk about a future war between the USA and China. I believe this is impossible. First, China holds too much USA debt; the interest on this debt is a significant revenue for China. Second, corporations would not allow it.
We may have to deal with terrorist groups for a long time to come, particularly those motivated by religion, but I believe that, soon, wars between countries will no longer be economically feasible.
If you watch Paddy Ashdown: The global power shift, try counting how many times he says internet.

Jun 8 2012: while corporations and the people within them do make a large voice in a country's decision i think your forgetting one of the bigger reasons why we might go to war. not everyone is a saint and some leaders literally get off by mass murdering their own people. while the literal cost of war might increase i sincerely doubt that we will forever stop waging wars, they solve too many problems for them to cease forever.
there are countries who for religious beliefs, a national mindset, or just an over abundance of pride will not listen to the diplomatic talks and debates. they won't listen to peace talks. they won't listen to diplomats telling them to stop the murder and pillaging. and most have stopped listening to their private sectors to understand when doing something is bad for business. when this happens they have one last chance to listen to force, if they don't listen to force then they cease to exist and the problem is solved.
a future without war will never happen as long as there are more than two minds occupying this world.

Eagle Rock Datsun Swapmeet 07/14
So now I have a budget for a car, and its a decent size budget. I have been looking for 240z but they get sold fast. I found this amazing 510 with a great body, interior, and engine. The Engine is rocking his l16. starving for power. Im considering picking this up.
Sooo… This happened to my car while it was parked one saturday evening. I came home after being out all day around 10pm and found my car smashed up. Neighbors told me it was a young girl in a Suburban that hit my car and ran off. Neighbors got a partial plate but there was nothing I could do.
Insurance said was my car was a total loss and it got picked up. Good news is they gave me a good pay out. Full Coverage is worth it.
finished up my head and block. next step is putting the engine back together
I broke down the bottom end of my block. Pistons look great and so do the cylinder walls! The harmonic balancer is cracked so I think im going to use the one from my 260z if it works. Crank is in good shape too. Next step is to rebuild the engine!
Things I need to get to put the engine back together
280ZX Piston Rings & 280ZX Main Bearings.
Timing Chain and Gears
Freeze Plugs
After that we build the turbo system!
Finally got to tear down my engine and start the rebuild. My brother-in-law, Brandon, has a spot in Pico Rivera. I brought him my N42 Block N47 Head Motor and we took off the head to see what the Pistons looked like. He took apart my P90 head I just got along with a turbo manifold.
The motor has dished pistons and the block looked like it didnt have very many miles on it.
Next we pull the crank and check out the rods and pistons. From there we make choice for the build of the project. I am hoping to hit 300hp, but 350HP would make me extremely happy.
I lowered my car on Eibach and installed new Shocks. Rides great and handles better. I also tucked in my bumpers!
CAR OF THE DAY: 1st Gen 240z Early Series. This car was built by a man and his two sons from a home "Gentleman's Garage" in pomona. The story behind this car was interesting. The car was found on Craigslist and was an original rally car. They purchased the car with out an engine and the fellas swapped and RB25 creating custom motor mounts done at home. Much Props

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WRCB) -- Five local teams entered Thursday still alive for a state championship, but only one survived the day.
Baylor will play for the Division II-AA state volleyball championship Friday afternoon at Middle Tennessee State University, but the Chattanooga area's four other contenders all saw their seasons come to an end.
Signal Mountain posted the best finish of the bunch, finishing fourth overall in the state in Class AA. The Eagles eliminated local foe Red Bank Thursday morning with a 3-2 win before falling to Hume-Fogg in another elimination match later in the day.
Ooltewah and Boyd-Buchanan both lost elimination matches early Thursday. The Owls finished 44-12 overall after a 3-0 loss to Dobyns-Bennett, while the Lady Bucs blew a 2-0 lead in a five-set loss to Loretto to finish 31-15 overall.
Baylor has only played two matches this week, but has won them both. The Lady Red Raiders topped St. Agnes 3-1 in Thursday's winner's bracket final to secure their spot in the state final.
St. Agnes later eliminated Ensworth to earn a rematch with Baylor with the championship on the line. The match will be streamed live by TSSAANetwork.com starting at 1 p.m. ET Friday.

As if this week hasn't been bad enough for him, One Direction's Zayn has now been spotted with an injury to his hand.
P.s that's not Zayn's actual bandaged hand, just what we imagine it to look like
Earlier this week, Zayn was accused of cheating on Little Mix girlfriend Perrie Edwards.
After having crisis talks with her about the situation, Zayn was spotted with his hand all bandaged up.
During a break from rehearsals with the boys on Wednesday, Zayn was snapped with two of his fingers taped together.
There was also a bandage covering his hand and wrist, as well as some visible scratches on his knuckles.
It is still unknown how he got the injuries.
Aww, poor Zayn he really is having a bad time!

IBF Light Welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi is just waiting for the final word before confirming his hotly anticipated fight against IBO Light Welterweight champion Ricky Hatton. In an interview with Setanta Sports News during Steve Bunces Boxing Hour Malignaggi said: Ive been watching Ricky for years and I always knew I would end up fighting him.
Ive heard Ricky wants to fight in Madison Square Garden, I think it would be a mega event in New York. Ultimately I guess its where Ricky wants to go.
Malignaggi was quick to dismiss rumours that he had been offered step-a-side money to make way for Manny Pacquiao. The self styled Magic Man made it clear that Hatton was firmly in his sights.
Im going to fight Ricky in the fall. Its an opportunity Ive been waiting for.
I think if I took step-a-side money Id basically be selling out and not giving myself the opportunity Ive always craved.
Brooklyn born Malignaggi insists he learnt lessons from his lacklustre performance against Lovemore Ndou at the City of Manchester Stadium earlier in the year.
I was trying too hard to impress everybody out there. I think I should have concentrated on impressing everyone with my performance.
But I managed to pull out the win and I look ahead to the future.
Believe me; Ill redeem myself with my performance in the fall [against Hatton].

I've made this recipe several times, and although a bit time consuming, is always a hit. I do, however, alter the recipe a bit; I saute some of the diced squash when I cook up the bacon, then saute onions and the rice in some of the leftover bacon grease. I don't add the bacon and squash back until the end, and like many reviewers, add some parmesan cheese at the end because it doesn't really feel like risotto without it.

The 16-year-old Willmar boy accused of acting as a lookout while a 79-year-old grandmother was killed during a robbery pleaded guilty to unintentional second-degree on Tuesday.
The teen, who has not been identified publicly due to his age, accepted plea deal that will stay a 15-year adult sentence provided the boy does not violate the condition of his extended juvenile sentence, which will be in effect until he turns 21.
Sentencing is set for Jan. 27.
Brok Junkermeier, 19, is accused of stabbing and strangling Lila Warwick after he forced her to write him a check during the robbery, which was allegedly orchestrated by Warwick's own grandson.
According to the charges, 18-year-old Robert Warwick believed his grandmother had more than $40,000 in a safe in her Willmar home.
Both Warwick and Junkermeier were indicted on first-degree murder charges and face potential prison sentences of life without parole.
The active grandmother and great-grandmother was an active member of her church and frequently volunteered there prior to her death. Her body was found after she failed to arrive at a planned church event and then failed to pick up her 13-year-old granddaughter, who told Fox 9 News had planned to stay the night at Warwick's home the evening she was killed.
Information from the Associated Press was used in this report.

|Graphisoft ArchiCAD site
ArchiCAD is an architectural BIM CAD software for Macintosh and Windows developed by the Hungarian company Graphisoft. ArchiCAD offers computer aided solutions for handling all common aspects of aesthetics and engineering during the whole design process of the built environment — buildings, interiors, urban areas, etc.
Development of ArchiCAD started in 1982 for the original Apple Macintosh. ArchiCAD is recognized as the first CAD product on a personal computer able to create both 2D drawings and parametric 3D geometry.[1] In its debut in 1987, with Graphisoft's "Virtual Building" concept, ArchiCAD also became the first implementation of BIM.[2] Today more than 100,000 architects are using it in the building design industry.[3]

Product overview[edit]
ArchiCAD is a complete design suite with 2D and 3D drafting, visualization and other functions for architects, designers and planners. A wide range of software applications are integrated in ArchiCAD to cover most of the design needs of an architectural office:
- 2D CAD software — drawing tools for creating accurate and detailed technical drawings
- 3D Modeling software — a 3D CAD interface specially developed for architects capable of creating various kind of building forms
- Architectural rendering and Visualization software — a high performance rendering tool to produce photorealistic pictures or videos
- Desktop publishing software — with similar features to mainstream DTP software to compose printed materials using technical drawings pixel-based images and texts
- Document management tool — a central data storage server with remote access, versioning tool with backup and restore features
- Building information modeling software — not just a collection of the above-mentioned applications with an integrated user interface but a novel approach to building design called BIM
Versions and license types[edit]
Supported platforms[edit]
ArchiCAD is available for Windows and Mac OS X operating systems. ArchiCAD 18 runs on Windows 7/8/8.1 64-bit, Mac OS X 10.7, 10.8 and 10.9.
License types[edit]
Commercial, Educational and Fully functional 30-day trial versions can be installed with the same installer. The license type is to be chosen upon installation. The installers and the necessary educational or trial registration numbers can be obtained on MyarchiCAD.com after registration.
- Commercial version is protected by a hardware protection key. If no key is present ArchiCAD switches to Demo mode where Save, Copy and TeamWork features are disabled (printing/plotting is still enabled).
- Educational versions are protected by registration numbers. Saved files in educational ArchiCAD versions are compatible with commercial ArchiCAD versions, but carry a watermark identifying the license type. Once a project has been edited with an Educational version the watermark will persist in the file.
- Trial version is a 30-day fully functional version in which you can save, print and publish projects. File formats are fully compatible with the commercial version once the copy of ArchiCAD has been converted to a commercial license; otherwise, the trial files are only readable on the original computer on which they were created. The trial version is protected by registration numbers.
Languages and localizations[edit]
ArchiCAD is available in a number of localized versions. In addition to a translated user interface and documentation, these versions have a set of parametric objects (object libraries) developed taking into consideration the specific requirements of the regional market, and different default values for object properties, menu arrangements, etc.
- English versions

Working with parametric objects[edit]
ArchiCAD allows the user to work with data-enhanced parametric objects, often called "smart objects" by users. This differs from the operational style of other CAD programs created in the 1980s. The product allows the user to create a "virtual building" with virtual structural elements like walls, slabs, roofs, doors, windows and furniture. A large variety of pre-designed, customizable objects come with the program.
ArchiCAD allows the user to work with either a 2D or 3D representation on the screen. Two-dimensional drawings can be exported at any time, even though the model in the program's database always stores data in three dimensions. Plans, elevations, and sections are generated from the three-dimensional virtual building model and are constantly updated if the user 'rebuilds' the view. Detail drawings are based on enlarged portions of the model, with 2D detail added in.
Collaboration and remote access[edit]
ArchiCAD released its first file exchange based Teamwork solution in its version 5.1 in 1997 which allowed more architects to work on the same building model simultaneously. A completely rewritten Teamwork "2.0" solution with a new database approach came out in version 13 in 2009 named Graphisoft BIM Server. Since only the changes and differences are sent to the central storage this solution allows remote access to the same project over the internet thus allowing worldwide project collaboration and coordination.
APIs and scripting[edit]
Third-party vendors and some manufacturers of architectural products have compiled libraries of architectural components for use in ArchiCAD. The program includes Geometric Description Language (GDL) used to create new components. Also API (Application Programming Interface) and ODBC database connections are supported for third party Add-On developers. Via direct API links to 4D and 5D software such as Vico Office Suite or Tocoman iLink, the ArchiCAD model can be exported to BIM-based cost estimation and scheduling. ArchiCAD is also directly linked via API to Solibri's Model checking and quality assurance tools.
Data interchange[edit]
ArchiCAD can import and export DWG, DXF and IFC files among others. Graphisoft is an active member of the International Alliance for Interoperability (IAI), an industry organization that publishes standards for file and data interoperability for architectural CAD.
ArchiCAD can also export the 3D model and its corresponding 2D drawings to BIMx format which can be viewed on a number of desktop and mobile platforms with native BIMx viewer applications.
Various free and commercial add-on products and extensions add extra functionality to ArchiCAD or provide further data exchange possibilities with other software applications. Some of these extensions are developed by Graphisoft, such as the freely available Google SketchUp, Google Earth or Cinema 4D import/export add-ons or other extensions sold separately such as Graphisoft MEP Modeler, Graphisoft EcoDesigner or Graphisoft Virtual Building Explorer; while there are a number of add-ons provided by third party vendors, such as Cigraph or Cadimage.

Honest, candid, outspoken... A brave and charming book.
The New York Times
I have always felt that I would never develop into a really fine actress because I cared more about life beyond the camera than life in front of it. Over the years my search became broader and broader. After two months on a picture my car seemed to veer toward the airport of its own accord. I loved acting and enjoyed it. I was a professional, but basically I was more interested in the people I played than the movies I played them in.
Join me in the adventures of my life both in front of and away from the camera.

Double-Edged Sword1 Reviews

Chapter Sixteen
Double-Edged Sword
As long as they are together, they will never be alone. This is elementary, obvious, deadly fact. There is no way to change it. And if the change does not come, we will not feel its lack. Without one, the other cannot exist. A Little less screaming, please, if you do not mind, some people are trying to rest. We are all interconnected on the Tree of Life. Do not be surprised when you hear this deadly fact.
Her lips curve into a sadistic smirk. In the world she lives in, she is a child. A child, a child, a child. That is how HE sees her. That is how they see her. But in her mirror… her wonderful mirror, she can see someone else. Her best friend looks back at her, and they teach each other. And they meet, and they talk about such lovely things. She never knew how to seduce. She never knew about sex, and physical pleasure. Lyanvis was an expert. They would never see her as innocent. She did not know how to be innocent.
Are you ready for this?
In their minds, she was a harlot, a whore, nothing more than a toy for their imaginations. And when she did not comply, she was the wrong one. The bitch. She never felt comfortable in her own skin. But her best friend, her best friend in the mirror, they had their talks. And whenever Lyanvis needed strength, she could see Amaya's eyes in the mirror. Whenever Lyanvis needed to trust in herself, she had Amaya to help her through. Amaya was an expert. They would never treat her as though she were inferior. She did not know how to be inferior. And they were two sides to the same coin, the same coin, the same coin.
This infinite abyss of nothingness.
Two sides of the silver half-dollar. Amaya wanted to learn less innocence, Lyanvis wanted to lose cynicism. And the lesson they could only learn from the other. And Amaya thought Lyanvis so beautiful, Lyanvis was so beautiful, and Amaya was not. Not to herself, she did not see beauty, her own worth without her brother there to tell her it. Alone, Amaya could not see that she was beautiful. Her eyes lied to her so frequently; she did not know the truth of her own beauty.
Where white is black and black is white.
And the coin in the air lands heads down and it is Lyanvis', Lyanvis, Lovely Lady Lyanvis, Orochimaru's beautiful goddess of sound, it is her turn. And her lips curve to think of him now, her master that she has accepted. And she wanted to be less cynical, and Amaya wanted to be more sexual, and the world knows that Lyanvis is good at what she does. Silver, because Amaya is so graceful, so graceful, she knows who she is and is not afraid to show the world what she has and everyone knows that Amaya is good at what she chooses to do.
Up is down and down is up.
And between them, it was easy to see that they could hold the whole world in their thrall. Lyanvis was perfect. Amaya was perfect. They were both perfect examples of a Kunoichi. Beautiful, powerful, invincible, and they held the world in their own little thrall, their own little thrall, their own little thrall. Because Amaya's grace comes from her self-confidence and Lyanvis' beauty comes from her own perception of the universe, and together, they can change the world with their madness, their folie-a-deux, their madness of two.
We can lie forever; hiding beneath perfectly plastic masks.
And Lyanvis at least knows the realities of this world they live in. She knows how the world can be just so cruel. And Amaya is sheltered, protected, but she knows there is cruelty as well. She is not cynical. She is not like Lyanvis. She sees more than the pain in the world. When people focus on their pain, she focuses on the beauty of the pattern the blood has made. When others are horrified, she turns her face to the sun and smiles to see the beauty the earth has granted her.
We can sing forever, screaming while nobody hears us.
The world wants to sever the bond between them. It is too strong. Lyanvis knows this. And she holds on tightly. She needs Amaya the way she needs the air she breathes. Her best friend, her sister, her twin. As much as they fight, as much as they argue, now, in the life she leads, Lyanvis would die without her sister. Would die without her, she needs her to be whole, sane .She needs her to be good. She needs her to not drown in herself, her self-imposed punishment.
Are you ready for this?
And Amaya needs Lyanvis too, in the way that she walks and talks, it is obvious, the trust between them. And Amaya needs Lyanvis likes she needs the earth she walks on. It is not possible to truly separate the two, they are like oil and water, yet they cannot be truly apart. They cannot be truly separate. And alone they will never be. Because Lyanvis is as cruel as anything this world has to offer, and Amaya is as sweet as the most flavorful fruits of the earth.
A metropolis full of honest eyes and lying lips
They have their protectors, their loves, their friends, but the bond between them is stronger than the red string of fate that connects them to the one they will love. There is the red string, and then there is their silver chain. The silver chain binds them both together, as twins, as opposite sides of the same coin. And they are opposite sides to that coin, irretrievably so. And Amaya has Itachi, and Lyanvis has Orochimaru to protect her. Only, Amaya would accept, and Lyanvis would reject.
Where opposites are opposite, where there is everywhere to hide...
Amaya would accept a caress, a touch, a taste from her protector and much more that he could give to her. Lyanvis has had enough of men taking advantage of her. Should Orochimaru come to desire her, his life would end. She would say… "It means nothing if his life does not pass by my hands." She would tear him apart, because she has come to trust him, trust that he did not desire her body. Because something born so evil cannot help but commit evil acts.
Live with us! Live with us!
And Amaya would accept if Itachi wanted to place his hands on her body, wanted to kiss her, touch her, desire her, even if in body alone. Her eyes close, and she imagines with what little information of sex she has gleaned from those around her. But she would not push, would not ask, would not willingly cause that change; she does not know how. And Lyanvis is satisfied with herself when she teaches Amaya finally. Because something born so good cannot help but cause harm to what is less good.
We foot it at the frontier; there is nothing we need to fear.
Amaya feels strange in this, hesitantly afraid of herself. But Lyanvis is a kind teacher, a good teacher, and Amaya becomes bolder. And when they meet face to face, Amaya is ready for the last lesson that she will need on her path onward through life, and Lyanvis is ready for a lesson of her own from Amaya. And they are both ready to find their new path in life. Amaya is just so good, and Lyanvis is just so evil, so Orochimaru's disciple.
Blood-soaked, bloodstained, we have seen it all.
The lesson is the same on both sides. To be sweet, you must open your heart and allow yourself to lay it on the line. To be sensual, you must know your heart and use it to entice. Use your heart, your body, your mind, your soul… you must sell the image that you want nothing more than that person does. You must take yourself and give yourself over to that person, while remembering whom you are, all the while.
Time does not wait, so we do not stall.
To be sensual, you must open your heart and allow yourself to know what it is like to be hurt. To be sweet, you must know your heart and use it to demonstrate the fact that you are willing to give yourself away to them. Use your heart, your mind, your soul, your body… you must sell the image that you want nothing more than that person's happiness. You must take yourself, and give yourself wholly to the other person, while remembering whom you are, all the while.
Call us crazy; call us insane, your words mean no pain.
And Lyanvis by looks is the light. She is the sweeter one, the kinder one, the child of light. And by that same coin, by looks, Amaya is the dark side. She is the killer, the huntress, the child of darkness. Yet Innocence belongs to this murderer. Innocence, Kindness, Sweetness… she is all that is good, a pure soul. While Lyanvis is dark. So unbelievably dark, it is incredible. Lyanvis is Sexual, sensual, steeped in sin. And she will be the force to push Amaya into darkness.
We are the preceptors of this pitch-black paradise.
She does not intend to hurt her, but the devil takes many forms. And the road to hell is paved with good intentions. And as Lyanvis teaches Rin smiles. Tsunami smiles to know that soon, soon, she will own Amaya's soul. The first pure soul to exist on earth since Adam and Eve will belong to her. And No one would take such a treasure from her. She would not allow it.
Are you ready for this?
Selfless sacrifice will not save you from this devil. Sacrificing your own soul for another is a good deed, a pure act, but she will still collect your soul. Any act such as that stems from some kind of pride. The pride of a mother in her son, she wants him to keep living to continue their bloodline. Should she sacrifice herself for another, Rin would still own her soul. Rin smiles to know this. Rin has never been so wrong, has she? or is she wrong now?
Are you ready for this everlasting omission?
I love this chapter too. It was meant to be a later chapter, but I wanted to share it. I'll probabaly move it around later. By the way, be on the lookout for a new prologue. I may change it and set up the story properly, with what is now the prologue in it's proper place. There is a reason why the text is in bold. I'll dedicate a chapter to whomsoever can figure it out with whatever detail you want. The Yayome chapter was a dedication to Melanie, because she gave me the inspiration to continue writing this fic, as much pointless 'plotless drivel' as it is...

In Breastfeeding, 'Good' Beats 'Perfect' Every Time
When I was pregnant with my second child, I thought about perfect and good. So this time around, I called three friends and made them promise: when my daughter was three months old, they were to call and ask me if she'd had any formula. I would not lie. If the answer was no, they had to come over and give it to her themselves.

Authorities say a woman who was killed in a Texas hit-and-run accident in 1980 disappeared from the Flint area about 35 years ago.
A positive identification of former Davison resident Paulette Jaster was made by Texas medical examiners in Harris County. She was identified by the use of dental records. They notified the Michigan State Police.
Jaster was last seen leaving Genesee County in 1979. Jaster's family members have said she suffered from mental illness and it worsened as she got older.
The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System said the hit-and-run victim had been seen at a truck stop in Houston looking for a ride to Beaumont. She was hit on East I-10 in the Houston area. She had no identification.

[How To] Install Clockworkmod Recovery on Micromax A89 Ninja
Micromax had recently released the A89 Ninja at a price of Rs. 6299/- (Flipkart). It comes with a 3.97-inch TFT capacitive display comprising of 262K colors and a WVGA resolution of 480 x 800 pixels (~235 ppi pixel density). Packed with 2GB of Internal storage and microSD card support upto 32GB, space shortage is something you need not worry about by a long shot. It has 512 MB of RAM, which is pretty much the barest minimum offered by most phones today. The 3MP camera is indicative of what you expect at that price point. As far as its processing prowess is concerned, it packs in a MediaTek MT6577 which is a Dual-core 1 GHz Cortex-A9 SoC with an PowerVR SGX 531 GPU (same used in A110 Canvas 2). Courtesy of which the Micromax A89 Ninja runs Android OS v4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich).
Still pretty young, the phone has had its fair share of development. This article is about how to install clockworkmod recovery (CWM) or TWRP recovery on your Micrmomax A89 Ninja. This method doesn't require you to be rooted, but still it's recommended to root your Micromax A89. You can follow our how to root the Micromax A89 Ninja guide for the same. For more on rooting, you could read up about it here.
Disclaimer: Follow this guide AT YOUR OWN RISK. GizmoPhiliacs will not be responsible (i.e will not buy you a new phone or offer you money. Maybe a helping hand and a handful of tissue) if anything goes wrong. Ain't rocket-science but you can't be careless either. Your warranty will be voided by flashing any third party stuff, the custom recovery in this case. You can flash stock rom back in case you want to restore your warranty. (You must also unroot, in case you have rooted)
Install Clockworkmod Recovery on Micromax A89 Ninja:
- Download and extract MTK6577 drivers in your Windows 7/XP.
- In the extracted folder, double click the file named InstallDriver.exe to install drivers for your device.
- Next, download and extract the Clockwormod recovery for your device. In the extracted folder you will find a recovery file and a scatter file, both of which will be required later on in the process.
- Download and extract the SP Flash Tool which will be used to flash the recovery to your device.
- Run Flash_Tool.exe to start the flash tool.
- In the menu bar of the flash tool, select options and then make sure that USB Mode is ticked. Again go to Options > DA Download All > Speed > Force to high speed.
- Click on the Scatter-Loading button present on the right hand side below Downloading Agent. It will ask you the location of the scatter file. The scatter file is present in the extracted folder A89 CWM and is named MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt
- Now, you will see that the flash tool has populated the map file on the application window, you will see multiple entries, just uncheck all entries except for Recovery.
- Click on Recovery and browse to the CWM_184.108.40.206_recovery file in the A89 CWM folder
- Click Download button. Ignore the warning messages and click on 'Yes'
- Now take out the battery, SIM Card and SD Card out of your Micromax Canvas HD A116.
- Now connect your phone to the PC via USB cable (with battery and everything out) and Volume Up key held. It will start flashing your phone with the new recovery.img
- The progress bar above the "searching" text will start progressing and once the process completes, a Green Circle will appear, signalling that the process was successfully completed.
- To confirm that the installation went smooth, power off your phone and press Power + Volume up button simultaneously till you boot into the CWM Recovery
- In case you want to flash TWRP recovery, you can do so by downloading TWRP_220.127.116.11_recovery.img.7z instead of the one given above. Rest of the procedure remains the same.
- In case you want to go back to stock recovery, replace the zip file you downloaded in step 3 with this one. Everything else works in the same way.

There is a lot of room for growth within the company. A lot of the managers here are good at teaching new things and new processes to people with less experience. My coworkers are friendly and there is a really good team atmosphere. The tools used at work are very helpful. Overall, I enjoy working with my team and working under my current department.
The work atmosphere can be competitive at times in terms of dealing with other people in similar positions. Sometimes you have to work late hours and long days. Overall, sometimes task can become tedious and mundane.

Talking about raceJuly 31,2013Now more than ever, the conversation about race needs to be brought to the dining table in every house, especially to those where white people have shied away from examining it.
For people of color in this country the conversation has so saturated their lives that they express anger and sadness in the many workshops I have conducted. Still others of both races are adamant that a white person has no business trying to lead a discussion about a subject in which their personal experience is as an observer.
Why bring it up in a place like Vermont where people think of themselves as tolerant, where there continues to be only a small segment of the population whose skin has a dark complexion? Surely, if there are so few people of color, then racism doesnt exist. But with very little effort it is possible to uncover the depths of racism that lurk even in Vermont.
Are there problems in Rutland? Emphatically, yes.
Here are a few stories of events involving African-American male adults that have occurred right here in Rutland. A college professor tries to go into Walmart with his small personal shoulder bag, no larger than a womans purse. He is stopped and asked to leave it at the desk. A therapist is in the grocery store shopping when a young mother pulls her daughter to her side protectively. A retired school teacher is waiting to cross at the corner of Merchants Row and Center Street. A car stops for the red light, and the passenger pointedly rolls up the window.
Three men happen to have a dark complexion. Their stories all hint at a bigger problem in the community. The problem is that people are constantly led to conclusions about people of color that have no basis in reality. Rich, poor, good, bad, it doesnt matter when the only measure that is used is the color of ones skin.
When unconscious racism occurs, it is just as hurtful, in some cases more hurtful, than blatant racism. It leaves people of color constantly in a state of anxiety. Was I treated like that because of the color of my skin? is often the predominant worry and immediate thought after an incident, especially for black males. What happens when the 911 call reports a suspicious person and the only identifier is that they are a black man? I heard that some time ago that actually happened to someone who was walking on Grove Street in Rutland.
There is no easy way to understand these events. Racism is often mixed in with other serious issues. Its hard to sort through the mix to discover the real source of the problem. Some people will no doubt read this and think that each of these examples can be explained on another level, but to me, and to many people of color whom I have talked with, the underlying racism is clearly not to be whitewashed. Its real. Its destructive. Its hurtful. It undermines our well-being as a community.
But we are fortunate in Rutland: We have a police chief who from day one has made anti-racism a priority. Within the first month of his tenure as chief, he met with local activists to determine the climate on race in Rutland. Within the first three months he brought in an expert on race and law enforcement to talk to his officers. He has continued his efforts to address the issue of race in policing even as he himself has come under attack for the behavior of some of his subordinates. And now he is working with Curtiss Reed, the executive director of the Vermont Partnership for Fairness and Diversity, to bring the discussion to other community leaders, including Mayor Louras and the Board of Aldermen.
This is not easy work. To confront racism means that one puts oneself in a spotlight that tends to attract controversy and criticism. Its not uncommon for someone, particularly when they are white, to be attacked from both sides of the issue.
The greatest challenge facing Rutland and Rutlanders is to understand that there is no easy fix, no easy answer. Each situation involving race prejudice, bias, discrimination is complicated by social, economic and political elements. That is why the conversation is so important. It is a conversation that should involve both black and white voices, our leadership and our citizens. No one group can bear the responsibility of moving us forward on this issue. We are after all part of one large community as residents of the United States. And we are part of a large world family, the family of humankind, brothers and sisters across oceans and continents. Our local experiences may differ, but our human experience is the same. We laugh, cry and feel pain the same as anyone, anywhere in the world. To think that we can use racism to divide us is to create a fog that hides our likeness, our humanness.
We need a community response that says Rutland does not tolerate injustice and unfair treatment based on the race or ethnicity of an individual. Bringing the issue of race to the table in each of our homes opens up the possibility of moving closer to understanding the realities of racism and how it affects our community. It is important for Rutlanders to join the national dialogue on race and racism as they consider what is best for our human family.

They have come from the stars…
In this riveting apocalyptic thriller, a mysterious event plunges Paris into darkness and a young American must lead her friends to safety—and escape the ravenous undying who now roam the crumbling city.

Advance praise for Ethan Reid's The Undying:
"The writing is superb. The tension never stops. Keep the doors locked and the lights on—Ethan Reid is the new voice of horror you've been waiting for." — Graham Brown, New York Times bestselling author of The Eden Prophecy
"The Undying conjures a nightmarish City of Lights that's all about darkness, a tourists' horror story that goes miles beyond delayed flights and bedbugs in the sheets." — Andrew Pyper, #1 internationally bestselling author of The Demonologist
"This postapocalytpic horror novels effectively delivers gross-out thrills….Debut author Reid keeps the action rushing ahead in hysterical panic with vivid scenes and convincing (albeit short-lived) characters. This one screams for a sequel." — Publishers Weekly

|Yorvit Torrealba comes through for Colorado Rockies at the plate and behind it
|Written by Admin
|Sunday, 14 October 2007 18:42
If he contributes at the plate as well, that's just fine, too.
Torrealba hit a two-out, three-run homer in the sixth inning to break open the game as the Rockies beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-1 in Game 3 of the NL championship series on Sunday night to move within a game of sweeping the series.
After homering off Arizona starter Livan Hernandez in the sixth inning, Torrealba's exuberance was on display. He pumped his fist in the air as he rounded first base and was mobbed by teammates near the dugout.
The crowd cheered loudly for Torrealba and didn't quiet down until he popped his head out of the dugout for a curtain call. Torrealba's homer was his first of the postseason.
He also had a double Sunday night and is 8-for-21 so far in the postseason. Torrealba may be the least-known name in the Rockies' lineup, but he's leading the team in playoff hits.
Not that Colorado's pitchers care about how he hits.
``We as a pitching staff love that guy,'' reliever Matt Herges said. ``He's a thinker. He could go 0-for-20 behind the plate and it wouldn't even matter.''
Torrealba realizes his primary role is to settle down the pitching staff in times of crisis.
And he's good at it. He'll jog out and say a comforting word to a pitcher on the mound or just simply motion to a pitcher that he is dipping his shoulder too much.
His Rockies have a 1.77 ERA through six postseason games.
``He's on the same page with all of us,'' reliever Ryan Speier said. ``You just trust whatever he calls. He's great back there.''
So much so that his bat gets overlooked, especially with all of the Rockies' offensive threats.
Torrealba, who usually bats eighth in the order, hit .255 in the regular season with eight homers and 47 RBIs.
``I've had a lot of wonderful catchers, but Torre ranks up there,'' Herges said. ``He's such a calming influence. I love to see him back there.''
