Download iFlare iPhone iPad iOS
It`s the situation you hope never happens to you or your loved ones - what would you do if a stranger approached and you needed help? You may only have seconds to make a call.
But what if you could discretely send an instant message for help and let someone know where you are?
Peace of mind is on the way with a new application that provides a rescue `flare`. iFlare is a unique application that at the touch of a button, sends your loved ones a `flare` with a map of your location and a message.
Users pre-designate contacts from their address book to whom a flare will be sent, with a message such as `help!` or `in trouble`. At the touch of a button, the message is sent to the designated contacts with a map of the users exact location.
Users can customise their own messages and also designate different contacts for different flares. There are all sorts of reasons you may need to flare - trapped on a bad date wishing you could get out - send your best friend the `bad date` rescue flare!
The message is free between iFlare users (or Flarey`s as we like to call them). All the users need is an iPhone. If your pre-designated contact does not have iFlare, the message will be delivered as a text message and standard provider costs will apply.
If you are iPhone and iPad owner,you now can download iFlare for free from Apple Store. The application is designed for use in English language. It weighs in at only 4.7 MB to download. It is highly advisable to have the latest app version installed so that you don`t miss out on the fresh new features and improvements. The current app version 1.0 has been released on 2014-11-06. The Apple Store includes a very useful feature that will check if your device and iOS version are both compatible with the app. Most iPhone and iPad are compatible. Here is the app`s compatibility information: Compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation), iPod touch (5th generation) and iPad. Requires iOS 6.0 or later. This app is optimized for iPhone 5.

After a 5a.m. alarm, we were on the road to LAX by 6:05. Arrived in plenty of time to have breakfast at Ruby's in the airport. We boarded at 8:30am (PST), arriving at Kahului Airport at 11:07 (HAST), a five hour and 25 minute flight.

Design Your Own Rocket
Once you have a final design, you can run it through simulations. The simulator can apply different conditions on your rocket, like applying crosswinds or taking Coriolis effects into account, and it shows how your model rocket should behave. OpenRocket uses JFreeChart to plot your rocket's behavior based on the simulation results.
You even can add your own code to the simulation to add extra effects. One way to do this is using Python and jPype to use Python code in the simulations. Additionally, you have the ability to write and use your own expressions in the simulator. This allows you to customize the simulator to a great degree without having to add external code. Then, you can see the limits of what your model should be able to handle and how high it will go under different conditions. This is really great in helping you decide when the weather is going to be too rough for your design.
You can run an analysis on the different components of your rocket.
You can optimize your rocket to maximize certain parameters.
You can run full simulations to see how your rocket will behave in different conditions.
I have covered only the features available in the most minimal way. If you are into building and flying model rockets, your time definitely will be well spent poking around all of OpenRocket's available features. The Rocketry Forum hosts a forum where you can ask for further help. And once you have gained some experience, you can give back by helping other new rocket enthusiasts. Go ahead and design your fleet, and get yourself out into the wild frontier of space!

I have noticed the body proportion issue, but it's only really apparent when the camera is at flat angles to the character, like the end shot with Paige playing her instrument. When the camera is angled up or down at a female character, the proportions even out a bit. It's fairly obvious that the CGI meshes for the bodies were made to look good from certain angles (most likely to make the action shots look good), but as a result, the characters look terrible if not captured from the optimal angles... .
As I said, I found it most noticeable when the characters were moving. In conventional, 2D animation, the artists can squash and stretch a distorted character design as needed to produce whatever movement they want. But these are 3D models, essentially virtual marionettes being moved around into different poses with the proportions staying constant, and the abnormally long legs, wasp waists, and outthrust buttocks of this show's female bodies result in unnatural and unwieldy movements.
I suppose the male characters' legs are somewhat elongated too, but their torsos are big and long enough, and their waists and hips close enough to normal proportions, that their movements aren't as unnatural.
I'm not really seeing what you're talking about, but I'm willing to take your word for it. I think we can both agree that the body style they've chosen isn't the best (personally, I find they look a bit like Slenderman). To be honest, I'm not that bothered by the character designs (lord knows I've seen worse in anime and cartoons), but it is probably the biggest blemish on the fantastic art design this series has.

It's amazing how so many Californians put up with the abominal service by PG&E. The reliability of our power service is on par with 2nd world countries, yet our rates are the highest in the country. It's time to put some heat on the California Legislature and Governor to address this situation.

Frerichs Farm is known for its giant pumpkins! We've made national news! Who would have thought that Warren, the smallest town in the smallest state, would be known for something so large? Since 2000 Frerichs Farm has hosted the Southern New England Giant Pumpkin Grower's Annual Weigh-off on Columbus Day Weekend. Last year, more than 3,500 people from all corners of New England and New York come to see the pumpkins and enjoy the festivities.

MEGAscript: Consistent, High Yields of RNA Transcripts
Using the MEGAscript Kit, you can produce over 120 g of RNA from 1 g of DNA template. This is 10-50 times the amount of RNA produced by conventional transcription (Figure 2). Reactions are versatile and can be manipulated to include specialized reagents such as modified nucleotides or additional polymerase. In addition, Ambion has optimized the transcription of short (20-500 nt) DNA templates with the MEGAshortscript Kit. This patented technology was designed to maximize the yield of short RNA transcripts from plasmid, oligonucleotides, and PCR product templates.

Are you cool????
by Wes McKane
posted Jul 5 2012 7:06AM
Good to see scientists working on something important. Like figuring out the main qualities that MAKE YOU COOL. That's way more important than curing cancer, right?
--Two psychologists in New York just finished a major study to determine the qualities that go into being cool. Here are the top 11, in order.
#1.) Friendly.
#2.) Personal competence . . . like being smart or talented.
#3.) Trendy.
#4.) Desirable . . . both as a friend and to other people sexually.
#5.) Attractive.
#6.) Unconventional . . . being unique or an individualist.
#7.) Prosocial values . . . like being caring or honest.
#8.) Humorous.
#9.) Confident.
#10.) Emotionally controlled . . . like being aloof or calm.
#11.) Hedonistic . . . being fun or a partier.
--A few qualities that didn't make the list are being ironic, rough, thrill-seeking, or driven for success.

Charter Operator Pleads Guilty to Fraud
Business Jet Traveler » August 2009
Tuesday, September 1, 2009 - 5:00am
Andre Budhan, a cofounder of defunct charter operator Platinum Jet, has pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to conspiracy to defraud customers and brokers and impede and obstruct the FAA. The case stemmed from the 2005 crash of a Challenger 600 following takeoff at Teterboro (N.J.) Airport. Budhan, who admitted that he and his coconspirators booked and operated about 100 illegal flights, faces 46 to 57 months in prison. He will also have to pay restitution to his victims and hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines. His five Platinum Jet codefendants have all pleaded not guilty and are scheduled for trial in January.

One Republic at Dubai Jazz Festival
More rock at Jazz Fest, a rap video shot in Dubai and the latest gigs Discuss this article
Next year's jazz fest is shaping up to be a heavier affair than many will be used to, with US pop-rockers One Republic the latest addition to a guitar-centric bill. The band will open the Emirates Airline Dubai Jazz Festival on Valentine's Day, joining fellow headliners 3 Doors Down, who play a day later, and Deep Purple, who play the penultimate night on Thursday February 21. Early-bird tickets for all these gigs are currently on sale. And while there's really no way you could call the headliners 'jazz', we're pleased to announce the return of the jazz garden – which hosts smaller jazz and blues acts every week night between the headliner weekenders.
Music people might remember that Kardinal Offishall stopped by at People for a late-night set last month. The truly eagle-eyed (and trained Twitter-combers) may have heard that the Canadian rapper was spotted tootling around town with Dubai's very own DJ Bliss with a film crew in tow (see a reader's pics, below). And those with trained powers of deduction may have concluded that a video was being shot. Now that video – reported to be the first on-screen musical collaboration between an Emirati and a visiting international – is set to hit airwaves soon. Keep your ears (and eyes) peeled.
We're pleased to hear arty venue The Fridge is preparing its next concert series. The 12th edition of the series will kick off on Monday January 21 and is likely to host a series of six-weekly gigs showcasing a diverse range of local artists, from rock to world and jazz to dance. Check future issues for more news.
That's all for now, party people – it's time to get out and play.By Rob Garratt

How To Achieve Better Ranking With Social Media Optimization
Are you looking for the right channel to promote your business? Are you looking for ways to reach maximum people spread over a wide area for advertising purposes? Then Social Media Optimization is the best internet marketing tool for you. So what exactly is Social Media Optimization? How does it help a business reach out to a wide customer base?
All companies have an online presence nowadays, but having a website is not enough for a business, one also has to make sure that the website is accessed by as many people as possible. There are various techniques one can incorporate to ensure this. One such technique that is widely used nowadays by marketers is Social Media Optimization. Social Media Optimization basically ensures a good ranking for your website & a better ranking will drive more traffic to your website.
In simple terms, Social Media Optimization means making use of popular social networking sites to drive traffic to a website. Since Social Networking Sites are very popular among all kinds of people, irrespective of age group, gender or nationality, these sites can be utilized to reach out to a wider customer base. Social Media Optimization Services is among the best ways to drive organic traffic to your business website. Through Social Networking Sites, one can reach out to a selective customer base that would be interested in the products and services you are offering. Once you do manage to find a selective customer base, their friend & family will also be able to see your profile. This creates brand awareness on a larger scale, among a niche group & also provides faster results.
One fool proof way to increase website ranking through Social Media Optimization includes Backlinking strategy. This step basically involves posting your website links on popular websites so as to create more awareness about your business. For this strategy to be effective, it is essential that your links be accompanied by meaningful content, smart suggestions, latest updates or any other relevant information.

For her constant defense of the teachings of the Catholic Church in the areas of marriage and the family as well as life issues, for her constant search for truth ranging from her studies of Plato to her writings on Thomistic moral philosophy, for her readiness to serve the Church as the Church needs to be served as she now devotes her talents to the intellectual formation of priests, for all of these areas, the Aquinas Center for Theological Renewal is most honored to award the 2008 Veritas Medal to Professor Janet Smith.
The Aquinas Center for Theological Renewal is delighted to award Avery Cardinal Dulles, SJ, with the 2007 Veritas Medal.

Cardinal Dulles is presently the Laurence J. McGinley Professor of Religion and Society at Fordham University, a position he has held since 1988. Previously he taught at Woodstock College and Catholic University of America, in addition to serving as visiting professor at many other eminent universities, including the Gregorian University, the University of Notre Dame, Oxford University, and Yale University.
The author of over 750 articles on theological topics, he has published over twenty books displaying his extraordinary theological competence and range, among them Models of the Church, Models of Revelation, The Catholicity of the Church, The Craft of Theology, The Assurance of Things Hoped For, The Splendor of Faith: The Theological Vision of Pope John Paul II, The New World of Faith, and The History of Apologetics. His new book The Magisterium will appear this Spring from Sapientia Press of Ave Maria University.

Welcome to ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, readers new and old.
I've been sitting on this idea for several months and started to envision it as a way to get back to my roots a bit as a writer of Pokemon fanfiction. Just to get one thing out of the way for those of you that have read my works before, I've made an effort to keep the chapters long enough but not novellas in and of themselves, like I've sometimes been known to do.
And now for the disclaimers.
DISCLAIMER 1: Pokemon and all trademarks and copyrights therein are the property of... actually, in a legal sense, I have no idea. I just know that it's not me. This is a fan-created work that is inspired by, but not a part of, the Pokemon "Generation V" video game canon.
DISCLAIMER 2: This work contains instances of language, violence, and other content in the area of the American "PG-13" MPAA rating. It is recommended for readers 12 and up.
*Yawn* That was a bit boring, honestly. I'm not sure if it had to be done, but since it could potentially save me a lot of irritation later, I just went ahead and did it. Now we can get to the story itself. Fun, right?
I certainly hope so. After all, if I'm not enjoying writing and you're not enjoying reading, then we're all sort of wasting our time, aren't we?
Enough talking. On to the story!!

1. The Upheaval
"Reshiram, forge our path to truth!"
"Zekrom, watch out!"
The snarling of the two massive dragons – one black and one white – filled the skies as they trained their attacks on each other. Zekrom evaded a massive fireball shot forth from the other dragon and launched an attack of its own – a huge lightning bolt that tore through the sky and struck Reshiram dead center in the chest. The white dragon let out an enormous cry of pain as it flapped its wings furiously in order to stay aloft. It failed, but did manage to land on the ground without further damage.
Two tall, cap-wearing young men were commanding the dragons. One of them was standing to the left. His short, chocolate-brown locks flapped in the swirling winds under his cap as he clenched his fist and pointed to the other dragon. "Attack, Zekrom! Finish him!"
A shriek had come from somewhere to the outside. The brown-haired boy pulled up short. His counterpart, a strange-looking young man with wild-looking lime green hair down to his back, staggered back a step.
"Whit, what the hell's wrong with you?!" the brown-haired boy yelled at a girl that looked rather like a feminine version of him. She was tall, and had rather long hair the exact same shade of brown. She had interposed herself between the two boys and their dragons.
"I'm sorry, brother, I just…I can't," she answered, shaking her head quickly. Tears leaked into the air from her tightly shut eyes.
"What do you mean, 'you can't'?" the girl's brother snarled, gesturing with his hand. "You know this has to be done, Whit!"
"No, it doesn't!!" the girl cried. She turned her head for a moment toward green-haired young man, whose pale face had gone even paler with shock. "He's a human being, Blake!"
"Maybe you're right…" the boy said, clenching his fist. "But he… he's set himself against everything we stand for!"
"What do we stand for anymore?" the sister asked tearfully, backing toward the green-haired young man. "You weren't always this bloodthirsty, Blake. You were sweet… then we started this journey, and now… now you're willing to kill for the sake of your lifestyle? Maybe Pokémon aren't as good for us as we thought…"
"Have you lost it?!" Blake snapped back. Zekrom roared in reaction. "All those years we spent in Nuvema talking about how great our Pokémon journeys would be? And you're just willing to throw all of that away? Why?!"
"Because I love him!!"
The eyes of both young men widened. Swirling winds filled the silence between the siblings. The white-clad, green-haired youth's jaw came unhinged for a moment.
"W-what?" the brother of the girl whispered breathlessly.
"I… I love him," Whit repeated, her voice shaking terribly.
"You love him," Blake repeated, his voice flat with incredulity. "You took a ride on a ferris wheel together. I'm your brother, Whitlea."
"You don't believe me?" the girl uttered.
"Do I believe you know what you're doing? Hell, no," Blake spat. "He's brainwashed you somehow. But it'll be fine. Once he's gone, you'll be back to norm—"
"YOU'RE A FOOL!" Whitlea screamed. "You really think I'm that weak-willed to let anyone brainwash me? This was my decision!"
"And this is my decision," Blake replied harshly. "Team Plasma is a monster that must be stopped – and the quickest way to kill a monster…"
He gazed at N, his young face now etched with a look of revulsion and hatred.
"…is to cut off its head."
Whit blanched. Tears started forming at the corners of her eyes. "Fine, then. Go ahead and attack with Zekrom. Destroy N. Destroy Reshiram… destroy me, too."
And she planted herself right in front of the tall, green-haired young man and his white dragon.
"Whitlea… no…" Blake murmured.
The youth named 'N' stepped back. "What should I do?"
He looked to his side, at an ornately dressed man that looked somewhat like an older version of him. The red patch on the man's eye glowed in a sinister fashion. "Hmm. This was unforeseen. Such fickle and wild things, human emotions. Nevertheless… it has no bearing on what we came here to do."
Almost instantly, 'N' stepped up and put a hand on the girl's shoulders. "W-Whitlea… you shouldn't have come here."
"I had to," the girl whispered tearfully. "I knew what Blake was planning to do."
The older, robed man sneered, switching his gaze between the two boys.
"Touching… but this melodrama has grown tiresome. You two see yourselves as some great heroes. In reality, you are not great. The truly great understand that sacrifices must be made in order to ensure the survival of those who deserve it. Hopefully…"
He turned and cast a meaningful eye at 'N', who instinctively put his arms around the brown-haired girl. The older, robed male allowed himself a smile.
"…when you rule, you will understand that much better than you do now."
Whitlea paused for a moment –
She let out a sudden scream, trying to struggle away from 'N', who held her even more tightly, to the point where all she could do is stretch out her hand and yell, "NO!!!!"
'N' finally spoke. "Don't! This isn't necessary!"
"That's where I disagree with you," the older man said curtly, turning his attention away from them and toward the brown-haired boy. "Reshiram, destroy them! Use Blue Flare!!"
The tail of the white dragon glowed crimson, then erupted into brilliant red and golden flames. Reshiram released a keening cry to the heavens before inhaling. More flames burst from the creature's mouth, these of an otherworldly shade of blue, aimed directly at Blake and Zekrom.
But Blake and Zekrom were no longer there.
Their forms had been replaced – replaced by that of a little, black-haired girl, no older than seven or eight. She could only give a hopeless whimper as her huge, blue eyes stared at the incoming assault in an expression of abject terror…
Long arms and legs flailed as a young man awoke abruptly from his slumber. He fell to the floor with a loud series of thuds, taking the sheets and blanket with him. He lay there, feeling sweat drip down his brow and yet shivering at the same time.
Damn… He swore mentally. Bet that woke her up…
Sure enough, a matter of seconds later, there were three loud knocks at his door. He sat up, looking around. He was in a small, ordinary-looking room. White-walled and slightly austere, its only bit of personality came in the form of the cluster of clothes that lay in a corner of his floor, next to the small closet.
"Dalton?" a high but somewhat creaky voice queried. "Dalton, are you alright?"
"Yeah!" the young man yelled back. His throat hurt from trying to talk so loudly, so soon after waking up. He jumped out of his bundle of sheets and ran to the door, opening it.
A thin, old, bespectacled woman with somewhat long, snow-white hair was staring back at him. She was wearing a nightgown. Her brow was creased in an expression of concern.
"Dear lord, boy," she creaked, her voice incredulous. "You could wake all the dead in Azalea City with that screaming…and you're all sweaty too! You look terrible. Maybe you should take today off."
The young man sighed. "No, Ms. Lucy, I'm fine…"
The old woman turned her wrist. A small, gold watch was there. She peered at it intently. Dalton had no idea why she insisted on using a watch she couldn't really see to attempt to tell time. "Well, in that case, you'd better get moving. Doesn't your first class start at half-past-nine?"
"What time is it?" Dalton asked, his face falling.
"Eight-fifty…" she paused for a moment. Dalton's heart instantly jumped into overdrive. "…six."
The young man had already bitten his lip to let off a horrible swear in reaction to this news. Instead, he controlled himself and settled for a loud groan. "Thanks."
"Of cour—" she started…but Dalton closed the door in her face. She smiled warmly. She knew he wasn't trying to be rude…he was just in a hurry.
Meanwhile, Dalton had dove into his closet. He emerged almost impossibly quickly from it, sending more clothes flying onto the increasingly cluttered floor. Adjacent to his room was a small bathroom barely big enough for the sink, toilet, and shower it contained. He quickly turned both knobs on his faucet, thinking to himself that it was a very good thing that he usually showered at night, because he definitely didn't have time now. After furiously brushing his teeth, he leaned down toward the sink. Catching a handful of the rushing torrent of water into his cupped hands, he slung it back onto his face and looked up into the mirror.
A young man in his late teens stared back. His hair was black and fell in neat, somewhat boring bangs down to his eyebrows. Two bluish-gray eyes stared back at him from underneath the curtain of hair. At the moment, these eyes were tired and were sagging a bit at the bottom lids. A white button-down shirt wrapped around his black graphic tee. Brushing his hair down with his hand, he checked his appearance for one final time before darting out of the bathroom and then out of his bedroom, grunting as he picked up a backpack near the door and slung it around his shoulder on the way.
He looked left briefly. This was a small apartment; the kitchen, dining area, and living room were all sort of melded together into one. The old lady was sitting on the couch, watching the news and apparently working a couple of knitting needles. Dalton had never asked her how old she was exactly. He'd always thought it rude.
"Ms. Lucy…" he tried to get her attention. For being probably around seventy, most of her senses were still as sharp as ever. She turned around almost immediately. "I'm going."
"With no breakfast?" she lowered her knitting needles and ball of yarn and glanced at Dalton a bit sadly – but he was already moving toward the door.
"No time," he uttered – but Lucy stopped him.
"Dalton!" she shouted. Dalton had the door open and one foot out of it, but he turned around. "Do you think you could pick up some milk on the way back?"
"…Sure," Dalton answered. Lucy smiled apologetically.
"You know I wouldn't normally ask something like that…" she said. "But if the DEPA auditors decide to come calling, it needs to look like you're helping me out at least once in a while."
"I get it," Dalton sighed.
"You have a good day," Lucy said, giving Dalton a warm smile.
"You, too," Dalton answered before closing the door behind him. He locked it with a key he'd had clipped around the belt of his blue jeans, then set off down the stairs at a slight trot. He frowned as he approached the outdoors and noticed the relative lack of light for this time of the year. "Don't tell me…"
He opened the small front door to the apartment building and instantly heard the pitter-patter of rain falling onto the pavement. He looked up into the wall of gray clouds, muttering "…Seriously?"
As he made the short walk to the college, Dalton made a mental note of Lucy's last instructions. Gotta get some milk on the way back…
Lucy was a very proud, independent, old lady. But the Union Party didn't know or care. They simply saw an old woman of about seventy and assumed she needed all the help she could get. Normally, Lucy would venture out and grab the groceries herself – or Dalton would at least go with her – but word on the street was that the DEPA was coming in a few weeks to do their end-of-term audits.
Why was this so important to Dalton? Dalton was at the city college under the Service Scholarship program created by the Department of Education and Personal Advancement – DEPA, for short. As the program's name implied, it covered costs for a student's education in return for their service to a person or people that the government had classified as 'special needs.' In most cases, like Dalton, a student was housed with an elderly or disabled citizen and under government mandate to help them in any way they requested. Dalton was fortunate in a sense; he'd heard quite a few horror stories about the Service Scholarship program. Most of the hosts weren't nearly as kind as Lucy. In fact, he'd heard some of them were downright nasty, subjecting their caretakers to humiliating and demeaning tasks. What was worse was that the students had to do them without complaint; or else, the host would run off and tell DEPA, who would then revoke the student's scholarship – and, in most cases, that student's chance at receiving a higher education.
Unlike a lot of the Union Party's ideas…the Service Scholarship program wasn't that bad in theory. Hell, it was how Dalton himself was going to school with no family to help him, so he could only complain about it so much. Still, though… Dalton wasn't very trusting of the Union Party.
He lived in what was geographically known as the Johto region. Politically, however, it fell under the People's Federated Union of Harmonia. There were no political parties in Harmonia…just one party. The Party. The Union Party. They were the ones that made the laws and enforced them. It sounded simple… yet, like most things in politics, it was simply very complicated.
Harmonia operated under a strange constitutional monarchy-republic… thing. The chief lawmakers were at the Council of Eight. The way Dalton understood it from his government class, four of them were elected by the people, and four were chosen by Harmonia's hereditary monarch. But Dalton, being the skeptic he was, thought there was more to it than that. First off, the voters for the four elected positions came almost exclusively from Harmonia's central region – that is, the land once known as Unova. Most people in Johto weren't afforded their own votes, but instead voted as cities. The thinking was that Johto's common man was too far removed geographically and (although nobody came out and said it) educationally from the central hub in Unova to make an informed decision on who Harmonia's leaders should be.
In fact, Harmonia seemed to be thinking along the lines that every child in Johto was somewhat lacking between the ears. When they annexed Johto to the Union, they made sweeping changes in the education laws. Dalton had heard of a time long ago in Johto where compulsory education only went up to the age of ten. Any remaining necessary skills were often learned on an individual basis at home or at a trade school of some sort. Under Harmonian rule, however, children started mandatory education at the age of four and continued for twelve full years before being considered for a two- or three-year trade school or a five-year college program. Dalton had wondered for a while about the early start time for schooling. He didn't feel like four-year-olds (or their parents, for that matter) should have had to worry about homework. But the Union Party maintained that the sooner a child entered a structured, uniform education program, the more likely it was that they would unlock the full potential of their intelligence…
…or some drabble like that. When Dalton thought of the twelve-year program – when he visualized innocent, little four-year-olds being herded into a classroom before a state-appointed and Party-approved teacher, only one word came readily to mind: indoctrination.
But Dalton's ideas weren't mainstream. Most people around him loved Harmonia and loved the Party… or, at least, they had few to no complaints about it. Dalton could give the Party one thing to its credit: it was efficient – sometimes ruthlessly so. And it was that efficiency that perhaps bothered Dalton the most. It was the way that, every time Dalton heard on the news about a law being passed, the decision was always "unanimous" – and if not the first time, then certainly the second time. If a law had been shot down twice in a row by the Council, Dalton had never heard about it. It was fishy to him. Eight people wasn't a lot, but it was far too many for everyone to agree on everything all the time…
As Dalton looked up at the pillared entrance of the main hall of the college, he heard a long chime-line tone ring and echo throughout the campus. Flipping his wrist and looking at his watch as he accelerated up the stairs a few moments later, he saw 9:22 and breathed a sigh of relief. I've still got some time, he thought as he entered the hall to the sight of many students conversing and interacting.
Right inside the main door, he came upon a classroom's open door in front of him and to his left. A young man, probably about his age, walked out, and on the other side of the main hallway stood a blonde girl that was about a head shorter. With nearly no regard for Dalton's existence or presence, she cut in front of him and jumped into the boy's arms. Dalton hoped they would move to one side or the other, but they didn't – they began locking lips like there was no tomorrow, right in front of him. After about ten seconds of this, Dalton couldn't take anymore. He cleared his throat loudly. The boy and girl looked straight at him, arms still wrapped tightly around each other. They shuffled over to one side, eyeing him suspiciously.
Dalton noticed about three or four steps later and looked over at them. "Oh… sorry. Carry on."
And, on cue, they resumed their make-out session near the wall. Dalton allowed himself a bit of a smirk, rolled his eyes, and walked away. He supposed it was a bit much to ask for a boy and a girl in their late teens to have grown past the phase where they couldn't keep their hands (and lips) off each other. With a heavy sigh, Dalton reasoned that it could have been worse. After all, the people of Harmonia were

Here's mud in your eye! Wet your whistle! Bottoms up! Let's have one for the road! One for the road? A common toast made in reference to raising that glass and subsequently raising one's blood alcohol content a few more notches.
As your typical drunk stumbles to his car, what exactly does he have in mind for the road? More than one-third of yearly traffic fatalities are alcohol related (nearly 14,000 deaths). This is almost the same as our nation's murder rate, but death on the highway isn't murder. It's "vehicular homicide."
I always liked that term. Kind of makes it sound like your car was responsible, doesn't it? New Mexico boasts one of the highest per-capita statistics for alcohol related traffic fatalities in the nation. What is it about our blue skies that "drives" people to drink so much over here?
Maybe we're just fun people. You know, a party-hardy state who enjoys one for the road?
Our state motto should be "Crescit Eundo Ebrius."
The recent acquittal of Scott Owens has had one positive "sobering" effect in our area.

Big Time Rush
TV Series Review
Perhaps in the beginning, Nickelodeon's Big Time Rush was a cynical effort to one-up the popularity of the Jonas Brothers, whose success was fostered by rival Disney. Big Time Rush, after all, has three words in its name instead of two, and four members (Kendall, James, Carlos and Logan), not three. Oh, and none of these guys are related.
But, really, Big Time Rush belongs, both in its construction and artifice, to a far older pedigree: The Monkees—another commercial construct built to pull in television ratings, sell albums and capitalize on the success of … The Beatles.
"I think they might have said, 'Who are The Monkees?' and I think I slapped one of them," executive producer Scott Fellows told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette when this series launched. "I think the similarity is the energy and the comedy and the spirit of it. Yes, I love The Monkees. … Hey [hey], if we can get half that success, we'll be excited."
I think they can be excited now. While the Jonases are still out there … somewhere … they're not on the Disney Channel anymore except in reruns. Big Time Rush? Well, let's just say the show keeps on getting renewed.
Onscreen, these largely wholesome guys live at the swanky Palm Woods Hotel, a residence for aspiring musicians and actors, along with Kendall's mom and little sister. Which reminds me to make a quick note about Mom: She isn't always shown to be the brightest bulb in the chandelier—especially when lil' sis manipulates her—but she's sweet and loving.
BTR, the show, rarely gets into any serious trouble. But BTR, the band, can get into quite a lot, what with the guys' silliness and sometimes downright cluelessness. The frolicsome friends are also sometimes girl crazy to the point of panting like winded dachshunds when they see a pretty one. Their dates can dress a bit provocatively—at least by kids' show standards—flaunting small amounts of cleavage and leg. Kisses are traded. And the guys occasionally engage in slightly suggestive banter (both sexually and scatologically).
The rest of the time they're showcasing the sort of goofy innocence that made the Jonases stars before them. Indeed, the bandmates all have a gift for slapstick comedy and self-deprecating humor. They rarely if ever utter even mild curse words. At worst, the outlandish plots that swirl around them can sometimes feel irreverent and/or disrespectful—if it's possible at all for a show so silly to ever be taken seriously.
