RE: Melvina Hill
The only dates on the gravestone, are the ones on the front. If you can't read them let me know, I have a hi-res copy of the picture. I also visited the cemetery and there was a stone for "Alfred Simon Hill" next to the stone for Melvina Hill. I have added his information to the database and a photo. There was also a stone for Harry Hill and his wife Elizabeth MacGregor in front of the stone for Melvina Hill. They were already in the database, but I added a photo.

Corrie William Wilson
I searched the Bay Branch Cemetery again today. I took pictures of all of the Wilson name graves. I did not find one with his names in any combination or the correct birth/death dates. I did take photos of a Wilson group of stones surrounded with granite. Next to it is two unmarked graves. Most likely one of these is your relative's grave. I will be happy to email these pictures to you and you can decide what to do with them. I am going to add the pictures of the other Wilson's graves to Find A Grave.
Let me know what you would like to do. Thanks!

Corrie Wilson Request
Do you think his grave might say William Wilson? I am just trying to figure out how to find it. I have found in the past that many of the old-timers only had the name they were called on their tombstones. I hate my first name so my stone will have my middle name on it. Next time I am in Screven County, I will go over there to Bay Branch and look for a stone with the correct dates on it under William Wilson. Will let you know what I find out.

Corrie Wilson Photo Request
My husband and I searched the Bay Branch Baptist Cemetery today for the photo request you made of Corrie Wilson. We could not find her grave. I will try and get in touch with our Baptist Association office and get the number for the pastor or cemetery leader and get some info for you. I will respond when I have further information.

Horace Pike
Hi Brenda - that you for taking the time to ask questions regarding the Find A Grave memorial page for Horace Pike.
The original info was added by Patricia Sauwmell who has passed away. Your question sent me to ancestry.com to check, and I found that the wound info was incorrect. There is a ton of military info regarding Horace on the ancestry site.
Anyway you might enjoy reading the follow-up note I've added.
Thank you so very much again, for your questions.
Regards, Phyllis

When you ask for a transfer, or offer a correction or update to a memorial, it would be easier for the recipient (here - me), to make the change if you use the "Edit" tab on the memorial. Thanks.

Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
In terms of functional architecture, the recording plate is composed of four individual microfluidic chips, each of which has four separate experiment units. This gives a total of 16 separate recording group experiments per plate. Each experimental unit has up to six cells that are exposed to the same concentration of ligand/compound. By taking this approach, there is a built-in facility for cell redundancy within each group of six cells, thus increasing the collection of statistically meaningful data points for each application of compound.
In addition to this, the microfluidic laminar flow technology for applying ligands (and compounds) decouples this process from liquid-handling robotics, circumventing any rate-limiting mechanical scheduling processes and avoiding potentially poorly defined compound application times.
The system operates independently for periods of at least four hours as a result of an automated cell-preparation station. This station incorporates a heated stage to maintain cells in optimal condition before dissociation and a centrifuge for removal of media before seeding plates into the recording plate. Cells are, therefore, freshly prepared for each experiment enhancing the likelihood of all cells being viable throughout a run.
In a typical eight-hour day, the system is capable of recording from around three plates per hour providing a throughput of at least 3,000 data points per day, with minimal need for an operator to be present during experiments.

Hi barbwired,
Try adding the following CSS to your Quick CSS (located under the Styling Tab in the theme options) or the custom.css file in the css folder of your theme files:
.post-entry .slideshow_container .arrow_controls, .flex_column .slideshow_container .arrow_controls {
bottom: -25px;
z-index: 999;
Hi Devin,
Your suggestion worked for the control arrows, but I can't make a similar style adjustment to the caption position. What am I missing?
Thanks so much,
Kindly disregard the PHP error. I've fixed that. DOH! Now, to the original issue.
Thanks again.
I didn't understand what you mean originally with captions it seems, those wouldn't be easily movable unfortunately. You would need to just not include them if you don't want them over-top of the image.
Thanks, Devin. Whew! I thought it was just me missing something obvious. On to Plan B.

Er ist wieder da: Der Roman (original 2012; edition 2013)
by Timur Vermes
Work details
Look Who's Back by Timur Vermes (2012)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
just not my type of humor only funny part was the comparions of Angels Merkel to a Trauerweide.
I had to let this book go, I'm afraid. I feel that if you're going to write a satirical novel about one of history's most hated people, you should go big or go home. This book started off interestingly enough but then there's a tough slog a third of the way into the book where I think that you'd have to know a lot more about the individuals closest to Hitler to understand the 'in' jokes. Frankly, it stopped being interesting.
Also, I felt that Hitler's characterisation was way off. He's portrayed as kind of dopey and bumbling and occasionally you could forget who it is we're actually reading about. This was not for me.
"'We're not getting anywhere here,' she said indignantly. 'Look, I'm not dead, am I?'
'You may be sorry to hear this,' I said, 'but nor am I.'" (pg. 231)
Let's get the usual stuff out of the way first, because – as with all satire – the message is the most important thing and needs discussing in more depth. Look Who's Back is funny, articulate and, whilst possessing little in the way of plot, engrossing for its entire length. Much of the regular humour – to be distinguished from the black humour evident in the satirical elements – comes from classic 'fish out of water' experiences as Hitler interacts with the modern world and its peculiarities. Vermes writes well (and, as always, kudos should also go to the translator – in this case, Jamie Bulloch) and whilst the book gradually lost a bit of steam it still crossed the finish line with energy to spare. The ending felt a bit rushed, but how do you end a story like this? Do the usual story elements – plot, character, setting – even matter when a book has such an overt and compelling message?
Well, I say 'overt'. There is always the danger in satire that people will take you seriously and whilst that is always a fault in the reader than in the book itself, Vermes does sail dangerously close to the wind. The concept of Look Who's Back is that Adolf Hitler (does he need an introduction?) wakes up in the present day – 2011 – where people are amused by what they see as a stand-up comedian who refuses to break character. Hitler becomes more popular – his strain of conservative populist and political opportunism striking as much of a chord today as it did back in the 1930s – until, before you know it, people are saying, you know, actually, 'it wasn't all bad' (pg. 365).
Vermes' aim here, of course, is not to advocate National Socialism but to remind us of the oft-forgotten lesson that the rise of Hitler wasn't a historical or cultural aberration. Hitler was liked by the German people and his government was democratically elected. When Vermes' Hitler caustically states that "even back then, passing off a gas chamber as a shower room was not exactly the height of subtlety" (pg. 297), he is exposing the myth that ordinary Germans were blameless in the Nazi years. Nazism wasn't an aberration or a fluke; it built on the prejudices and insecurities of the ordinary German people to seize power. And people still have prejudices and insecurities nowadays, by the bucketload. The Nazis weren't 'inhuman' (strictly speaking) or 'demons': they were flesh and blood and, because of this, there are potential Hitlers and Himmlers and Heydrichs out there still. And, even more disconcertingly, there are plenty of ordinary people out there quite willing to 'sieg heil' in the right (or wrong) circumstances, and most of them don't do us the courtesy of shaving their heads and getting swastika tattoos. Many are like you and me. Indeed, you and I could, in the circumstances, become two of them.
The allusions to this theme will be obvious to the attentive reader, and they are so numerous that to give examples would be to all but reproduce large swathes of the book. At the very least, consider the quote with which I opened this review. When Hitler says he is not dead, there is a double meaning (Vermes is fond of these). Not only is he not dead, but the ideologies, prejudices and basic human frailties which propelled him to power are not dead either. Like all good satirists, Vermes exposes our complacency.
However, as is often the case with satire, Vermes' message can be so subtle or disguised or seemingly straight-faced that it might backfire. In giving us Hitler's thoughts on a number of contemporary issues – a peculiar but believable mix of the conservative and the progressive – Vermes is fulfilling his satirical remit of showing us that Hitler was a real person and not a cartoonish demon, but in doing so he also makes Hitler – whisper it – in some ways likeable or at least agreeable. Hitler's thoughts on modern celebrity and mass media, or politics, or the state of society, may well chime with the reader's own opinions. There is the very real danger at times that Look Who's Back could be seen, in some quarters, as a rehabilitation of the man.
In a time of rising anti-Semitism in the West, Vermes' book is paradoxically both welcome and unwelcome. In showing Hitler as human rather than aberration, Vermes is performing the valuable service of warning against such divisive and opportunistic populism. Yet in an age where people vote for personable politicians they feel they could share a beer with, humanising Hitler also runs the risk of making his views seem palatable, and the use of humour risks trivialising his crimes. But such is the double-edge of satire. For my part, I wholeheartedly understood Vermes' intention. In reading Look Who's Back, you feel uncomfortable that you are agreeing with Hitler – even if on trivial stuff. Then you realise this is exactly how a real Hitler would get people onside. Then you realise this is partly why we need to work so diligently and conscientiously at improving our own society and remedying its injustices: so that we are less susceptible to being manipulated in such a way. With all the entailing consequences.
Update (4th May): Having since watched the excellent German film adaptation of Look Who's Back, I love it even more. Whilst providing less belly-laughs than the book, it nevertheless presents the central message much more emphatically; the weakest part of the book (its ending) becomes the strongest part of the film. It's rare to find a film adaptation which captures so perfectly both the essence and the particulars of the book it's based on. A good show all round.
Certainly humorous in parts but somehow the joke wears thin very quickly, and what is the fundamental and very obvious point of this satire feels rushed at the end.
But most disturbing is the likeability of Hitler in this novel, coming over as a rather charming and ultimately benevolent elderly uncle who just happens to have some rather embarrassing slightly racist tendencies. Some may say that is the point but I'm not sure that even in these more modern and compassionate times of understanding and equality we should attempt to cast Hitler in a warm light, even in a "merciless satire".
"It was my task and mine alone to save the Volk", 19 Feb. 2016
This review is from: Look Who's Back (Paperback)
Imagine what would happen if Hitler suddenly woke up in a park in 2012 Berlin (how this happens is never clarified.) At first the humour is based on any time traveller having to get used to a whole different society:
the influx of immigrants: "during my stroll I had noticed the occasional passer-by whose Aryan ancestry was questionable, to put it mildly... it was still a mystery what these racial aliens were doing here."
when offered an instant coffee "the British must still be blockading the seas...the brave, stoic German Volk had been forced to make do with substitutes for so long."
The shock of a woman president, poorly-behaved young people who don't measure up to the Hitler Youth, even the computer...
But Hitler is soon discovered and offered a place on a TV show, as an alternative comedian, impersonating the dictator....
While many will find any novel on Hitler tasteless, I have to say I found the premise interesting. At a time when there are divisions in the European community, when unchecked immigration has led to anger and the growth of far-right parties, what actually WOULD happen if Hitler turned up again now? Would some people have time for him?
This is an excellent translation: much of the conversation is in typical 'young person's slang' as Hitler mixes with people in the media, and translator Jamie Bulloch does a convincing job of modern anglicisms: "LOL", that's like so cool" etc.
Interesting read - probably a *3.5

Summer 2011. Berlin. Adolf Hitler wakes up on a patch of ground, alive and well. Things have changed - no Eva Braun, no Nazi party, no war. Hitler barely recognises his beloved Fatherland, filled with immigrants and run by a woman. People certainly recognise him, though - as a brilliant, satirical impersonator who refuses to break character. The unthinkable, the inevitable, happens, and the ranting Hitler takes off, goes viral, becomes a YouTube star, gets his own TV show, becomes someone who people listen to. All the while he's still trying to convince people that yes, it really is him, and yes, he really means it. Look Who's Back is a black and brilliant satire of modern media-bloated society, seen through the eyes of the Fuhrer himself. Adolf is by turns repellent, sympathetic and hilarious, but always fascinating. Look Who's Back is outrageously clever, outrageously funny - and outrageously plausible.… (more)

Valence Health Eases Clinical Integration Pains With SAS Analytics
When Valence Health co-founder Todd Stockard left the benefits and actuarial group of a large consulting firm more than a decade ago, he left on a mission. Along with co-founder Phil Kamp, his aim was to help groups of independent doctors and hospitals leverage the economies of scale that come from clinical integration without the burden of sharing a common health care information platform. To do this, they used SAS Business Analytics to develop a set of analytical and information delivery tools and services that deliver patient-centered, data-focused support - helping doctors and hospitals manage risk, achieve financial success and deliver a higher quality of health care services to the population.

The CHMP decided that Sustiva's benefits are greater than its risks in antiviral combination treatment of HIV-infected adults, adolescents and children three months of age and older. The Committee noted that Sustiva has not been studied adequately in patients with advanced disease (CD4 cell counts below 50 cells/mm3) or after treatment with protease inhibitors (another type of antiviral medicine) that was not working. The Committee also noted that there is little information on the benefits of treatment including a protease inhibitor in patients who have been treated with Sustiva in the past but which sped working, although there is no evidence to suggest that protease inhibitors may not work in these patients. The Committee recommended that Sustiva be given marketing authorisation.St. Johns Wort

Quick Puerto Rico Facts
Most known (outside baseball) for its Great beaches, untouched mountains and rainforests; Bacardi Rum.
Puerto Rico location: Caribbean, island between the Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, east of the Dominican Republic, about 1,000 miles southeast of Miami, Florida.
Puerto Rico size: 3,514 square miles, or about slightly less than three times the size of the U.S. state of Rhode Island.
Puerto Rico population: About 4 million
Puerto Rico people: White (mostly Spanish origin) 80.5%, black 8%, Amerindian 0.4%, Asian 0.2%, mixed and other 10.9%
Puerto Rico language: Spanish.
Government: Commonwealth of the U.S. (Puerto Rico was ceded to the U.S. as a result of the Spanish-American War). Puerto Ricans were granted U.S. citizenship in 1917. Popularly-elected governors have served since 1948 and in 1952 a constitution was enacted providing for internal self government. In plebiscites held in 1967, 1993, and again in 1998, voters chose to retain their commonwealth status with the U.S.
Puerto Rico capital: San Juan (population: about 450,000)
National anthem famous verse: Since Puerto Rico is a Commonwealth of the U.S, the "official" anthem is "The Star Spangled Banner," but the local anthem is "La Borinqueña," more often heard and more identified by the people: "When Columbus reached these beaches, full of awe he exclaimed, "This is the lovely land that I seek."
Quick Puerto Rico Historical Baseball Facts
Most known in baseball for: Being the birthplace of "The Great One," Roberto Clemente, as well as fellow Hall-of-Famer, Orlando Cepeda; and producing outstanding catchers (Ivan Rodriguez, Jorge Posada, the Molina brothers, Benjie, Yadier and Jose, among others).
Puerto Rico's baseball debut: Late 1800s.
First Puerto Rican-born player to play professional baseball: Santurce-born Hiram Bithorn, whose name adorns Puerto Rico's most historic ballpark, debuted for the Cubs in 1942.
Hall-of-Famers: Cepeda, Clemente
Notable MLB record-breakers: Clemente (member of 3,000 hit club); Javy Lopez (Ponce) hit 43 HRs in 2003, most by any catcher
Puerto Rico's best baseball town: San Juan, the capital, particularly the districts of Santurce and Rio Piedras. The Santurce Crabbers are Puerto Rico's most historic baseball team and play in the island's winter league with the most MLB affiliations.
Puerto Rico's other baseball hotbeds: : Baseball is played throughout the island, but is most popular in and around the northern cities and communities of Bayamon, Manati and Arecibo as well as in the southern city of Ponce and the fishing port town of Mayaguez.
Biggest sports competitors: Soccer, boxing, basketball.
Distinctly Puerto Riconaian: Sanguillen was the first Latin-born catcher to play in an MLB All-Star Game and one of the first players traded for a manager. Following the 1976 season, Sanguillen was dealt to the Oakland Athletics for manager Chuck Tanner. … Puerto Rico's largest ballpark is Rod Carew Stadium, named after the Hall-of-Famer. Sadly, the ballpark is located in the middle of nowhere (about 25 minutes from downtown by cab) and is a charmless, concrete structure.
Quick Team Puerto Rico And Player Facts
Biggest international rival: United States
Biggest international successes: Puerto Rico has achieved limited success for a variety of reasons -- a lack of resources as a result of a historically unsteady national economy and the elimination of legislators' circuit funds that help keep amateur sports programs going. A team from David was runner-up in the 1994 Little League World Series (ages 11-13). In 2000, a team from the Curundu section of Puerto Rico City won the Senior League World Series (ages 16-18), while in 2005, Puerto Rico City captured the Junior League World Series (ages 14-16).
2006 WBC showing: Puerto Rico went a very disappointing 0-3.

Play Ball! -- Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico Major League overview: Puerto Rico hasn't had professional baseball on a consistent basis since the early 1970s (a league did exist in 2001-2002, but folded after one season). In 2008, the amateur Puerto Rico Major League began experimenting with importing foreign-born players, with each team represented with at least one player, all from other Latin countries. Puerto Rico's baseball federation designates 10 "provinces" for the league, even though there are actually only eight. A team called "Chiriqui West" and another team called "Puerto Rico West," represent the western-most areas of those two provinces. Puerto Rico Metro has won the most Puerto Rico Major League titles, with Herrera and Chiriqui, the second and third most, respectively.
Puerto Rico Junior Tournament overview: The No. 1 baseball spectacle in Puerto Rico isn't the Puerto Rico Major League, but rather its national amateur junior tournament. Starting annually just after the New Year, it features Puerto Rico's best baseball players of age 16 and under. Hence, scouts from MLB teams in attendance.
Most successful province: From its onset in 1944 to the early 1960s, most tournaments were dominated by teams from in and around Puerto Rico City, the capital, and nearby Colon, where the Puerto Rico Canal was being built. But by the mid-1960s, Colon lost its footing to Herrera, a province in the interior of the country. By the late 1970s, Chiriqui province in western Puerto Rico began to take home titles, and today it is one of the most successful provinces, along with long-standing power Puerto Rico (since renamed Puerto Rico Metro) and Herrera. Other smaller provinces like Los Santos, Coclé, Veraguas and Puerto Rico West have occasionally won titles.
Teacher, teacher: In recent years, Puerto Rico's baseball federation has taken to hiring Cuban-born coaches to help provincial teams. For example, in the 2008 Puerto Rico junior tournament, the runner-up, Puerto Rico West, was managed by a Cuban, as was the Herrera provincial team in Puerto Rico Major League.
Ballpark atmosphere: Puerto Rico baseball fans are loud, louder and loudest. Herrera has a separate section for its band, and you will see no shortage of hand-made signs. Many fans without a ticket climb walls to sneak a peak inside the ballpark. Tickets are cheap by U.S. standards, starting at a couple of dollars. Beer is even cheaper.
Uniquely Puerto Riconain: In addition to the junior tournament and Puerto Rico Major League, other national tournaments are 10 years and younger; Children AA (ages 11-12); and Junior A (ages 13-14). Some MLB scouts attend the Junior A tournament … Aluminum bats are used for juniors, ages 9-16; thereafter, wood.

Governor, state supt. nominate MPS' Rufus King for national ACT award
MPS' Rufus King International School, state's high school nominee, to be recognized Monday
MILWAUKEE (May 5, 2013) — Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and Wisconsin Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Evers have nominated Milwaukee Public Schools' Rufus King International School for ACT's national College and Career Transition Award.
The state selected Rufus King, ranked among the best high schools in Wisconsin in 2013 by both U.S. News and World Report and the Washington Post, as its high school nominee for the award.
The honor will be celebrated on the morning of Monday, May 6 in Madison as part of the kickoff for Wisconsin's partnership with the ACT College and Career Readiness Campaign.
Schools are nominated by states to recognize "exemplary college and career readiness efforts" as they work to ensure students possess the knowledge and skills to enroll and succeed in college-level coursework at colleges and universities.
The six states involved in the first year of the new ACT College and Career Readiness Campaign — including Wisconsin – were invited to nominate schools based upon: demonstrated student growth; aggregate ACT scores; the percentage of students meeting college readiness benchmarks; demonstrated success in serving students of underrepresented racial/ethnic/socioeconomic backgrounds; dedication of administrators and teachers to ensure students gain the knowledge and skills needed for success; and the school's commitment to providing leadership opportunities for students outside the classroom.
ACT is expected to announce the national award winner, judged on those same criteria, May 21.
"We are pleased that ACT and DPI have recognized Rufus King International School for the continuing work our educators, students and families are undertaking to ensure students succeed after they graduate," said Rufus King Principal Peter Samaranayake. He specifically singled out the efforts of the school's counselors.
MPS Superintendent Gregory Thornton said the district is "grateful to be acknowledged for our work as we continue our deep commitment to college and career readiness for all students." MPS' college and career readiness efforts and results include:
– Comprehensive literacy and math/science plans aligned to the rigorous Common Core State Standards to put students on a track to college and career success
– Growing the graduation rate by approximately 14 percentage points between the class of 2000 and the class of 2012
– Nearly doubling ACT participation from 43% in 2007-08 to more than 80% in 2011-12
– Opening two College Access Centers with late and weekend hours to help demystify the application process
– Growing the percentage of students taking AP courses by roughly four percentage points over the past four years
– Growing the percentage of students enrolling in postsecondary education within a year and half of high school graduation roughly eight percentage points over five years to above 50%
ACT Vice President Scott Montgomery said the new College and Career Readiness Campaign "will showcase the exemplary work that is happening across states to advance the goal of college and career readiness for all. It will also provide our stakeholders with a preview of ACT's vision for the future and the innovative technologies we have in development."

Milwaukee Public Schools is Wisconsin's largest school district, serving more than 78,000 students in more than 160 schools across the city. MPS is home to the Milwaukee region's two best high schools according to the Washington Post and three of state's 25 best high schools according to U.S. News and World Report. In the past year, Milwaukee Public Schools posted a growing graduation rate 14 points higher than the rate for 2000. More MPS news is available at http://mpsmke.com/news.

Oklahoma State University president Burns Hargis says the school remains committed to the Big 12 Conference despite Colorado's decision to leave the league and join the Pac-10.
Hargis says Oklahoma State has invested heavily to be competitive in the Big 12 and he believes that will give the school options if rumors about other teams leaving the league turn out to be true.
The university completed a $286 million overhaul of its football stadium prior to last season, including new weight rooms and luxury suites. Most of the project was funded through about $250 million in donations from billionaire alumnus T. Boone Pickens.
A school spokesman also issued a statement Thursday reiterating that OSU is committed to the Big 12 but would have to evaluate its options if more teams leave.

Monte Carlo simulations have been performed of the decay of a 198Au solid source within a 4pibeta- gamma coincidence detector. Calculations of the proportional counter efficiency to both beta and gamma emissions are simulated. A comparison of results obtained using the MCNP-5 and Geant4 simulation packages indicates that Geant4 better evaluates the K correction to the coincidence equation than MCNP-5 predictions. This difference can be accounted for in terms of how the codes handle the physical interactions occurring in the foil and surrounds.

Disclaimer: If I owned Pokemon I would not be here. :) I had fun with this, so I hope you enjoy it too!
"Hey, Mommy, read me a story, read me a story!" the little girl begged, violet eyes wide under a fringe of dark hair. "You promised!"
The house was dark and silent, except for the girl's room, which was lit by a small lamp with a cheerful shade. Amber laughed quietly at her daughter's enthusiasm. "Which one?" she asked indulgently, turning to a shelf of well-thumbed picture books and stories. "One with Faerie Pokemon? Or maybe, 'The Courageous Bidoof'?"
Her daughter stared at her as though she had sprouted horns. "That book is for kids," she announced in a superior tone. "I'm four."
"Alright, then, not that one," Amber laughed, putting the little girls former favorite back on the shelf under her nightstand. "Maybe...a ghost story?"
Her little daughters face went a little paler. "N-no," she said, with dignity, clearly trying to be brave. "I'm too old for gh-ghost stories."
"Ohoho, you are, are you?" Amber growled, tickling her daughter's stomach. "Are you too old for me then? Tired of my Pokemon, huh?" The girl shrieked with delight, writhing to escape those fingers, giggling madly. The floorboards creaked, somewhere in the house, and Amber's hands froze. "Uh-oh, better not," she whispered conspiratorially. "Don't want to wake your father. So no ghost stories then. Which one will it be?"
The little girl thought about it, her forehead scrunched up with thought. "A princess story," she said firmly. "A new one!"
Amber sat back on the bed, thinking. "A new Princess story...haven't you read them all?" Her daughter's grave eyes didn't as much as blink, waiting for her to start. Amber gave in, smiling a little as she leaned back. "Maybe I do know one...but you have to get under your covers first."
It was amazing to her how quickly children could act, with the promise of a new story. She lay down next to her young daughter, above the covers, closing her eyes as she recalled the story, which her mother had once told her. "Once upon a time, there was a kingdom in the land above Mount Moon. It was a beautiful place, filled with talented artists and powerful Pokemon. Many called it a blessed land, for it prospered in times of peace. The story I'm about to tell you is a true one, or so it is said. It's the story of a brave princess, whose name has long been forgotten. And the mystery that still surrounds her tale."
"Was she pretty?" the little girl asked immediately, her eyes huge. Amber grinned, tweaking her daughter's nose.
"She was beautiful," she said, as though confiding a secret. Her daughter 'ooohhed' in appreciation.
"The Princess, whose kingdom was called Halladen, lived in a wonderful time of peace, nearly two decades after the last rebellion. And while she was beautiful, and well loved by her people, even she did not live a perfect life. The Princess was sick, and nobody could help her, though many tried. One day, a man appeared who claimed he could cure her, with a strange woman at his side. He claimed to be the student of a long dead physician, who had once sworn he would teach his secrets to no one. But despite his suspicion, out of options, the King agreed to let him try."
"Is he the bad guy?"
"Oh yes," Amber said seriously. "He was called Doctor Camellia, and he was a very wicked man. His medicines could cure anything, or so it was said, but he could only make them from one ingredient. Pokemon Eggs! He cured the Princess with his medicine...but soon after, he was exposed for the monster he was. He had been trying to get close to the royal family, so he could kill the King and Queen, and take the kingdom all for himself. Of course, the palace guards tried to stop him. But just when it seemed like the battle was over, Doctor Camellia escaped on the back of an Entei, swearing his revenge would come someday soon."
"Did the princess fight him?" Amber's daughter asked in a small, hushed voice, her covers pulled up to her the tip of her nose. Her mother nodded reassuringly, stroking her short hair to let her know it was alright.
"As a matter of fact, she did. She went alone, and tried to stop him, by giving her own life. She almost succeeded with her sacrifice, when a boy appeared." Her daughter's nose scrunched up at the mention of a boy, and Amber couldn't help but laugh. "A boy appeared," she continued, "He worked for the mad doctor, but he loved the Princess dearly, and could not watch her die. He took over the battle in her place, saving her life...but he lost. Everything fell to pieces after that. The Princesses plan had failed because of the boy, and he hadn't been able to win against his enemy. His hometown burned to the ground, and the boy disappeared without a trace. The Princess, with no hope remaining, fled the battle, leaving the kingdom in the hands of the madman."
"What happened?" the little girl asked, her eyes riveted to Amber's face. "Did she die?"
"You see, that's the funny thing," she said. "The mystery of that story, is that it's a story with no end. Because less than a year later, the entire kingdom disappeared without a trace. To this day, no one knows what happened, or where the kingdom went. No one knows the fate of the Princess, or the boy who betrayed the country. It's one of the greatest mysteries, because evidence has been found that Halladen did exist, once upon a time. For all we know, the Princess may be fighting still, in a country suspended somewhere between time and space. Somewhere, or sometime."
Her daughter chewed that over. "So it was all because of a boy?" she demanded. Amber nodded her assent, gravely, and the little girl made a face. "Boys are all stupid," she announced. "-and 'specially that one."
She didn't bother denying it, leaning in to kiss her daughter's forehead instead. "Every single one of them," she agreed solemnly, cupping the girl's cheeks. "Get some sleep, little one. Tomorrow, we can make poffins for Gengar, as long as you don't eat them all first."
"People have poffins too! They're called donuts." her daughter said, yawning hugely in the middle of her sentence. She settled into her light blue comforter, stretching with tiny arms. Amber smiled, and the bed creaked as she slid off the other end.
She had wondered as a child what the true end to that story was. It was frustrating, not having all the piece. For all she knew, the story of Halladen had gone much differently than her storybooks claimed. But maybe the best part was the mystery. Her mind had gone back to the story time and time again after all.
There wasn't anyone who could tell the story of Halladen as it really happened, anyways. Not the Princess, not the mad doctor, and not the boy who had inadvertently ruined everything. It had been over three hundred years since the kingdoms disappearance, after all.
But sometimes, she wondered. Not that it would do her any good. Chances were, it wasn't even true in the first place.
"Sleep tight," she murmured, and flipped the switch for the lamp, plunging the room into darkness, broken only by the blue crystal nightlight plugged into the wall.
The sky burned. A holocaust of flames engulfed everything he knew and held dear, and yet all he could see was the sky above, stained red by firelight. He didn't need to look at the burning buildings of his childhood home, or at the familiar people fleeing the town that had so quickly turned into a crematorium. He knew they were there. He looked at the sky instead, thoughts searing in his mind.
They said that when a man died, his life played in his mind, showing all the good and bad he had accomplished in his time on Earth. The life he saw at that moment filled him with despair. Such a monster he had been. Good intentions could never wipe out all the evils he had committed. All the mistakes he'd made. He had quite a bit to answer for.
Indigo Nightwalker looked at the sky, and realized that this was his reward.
Everything seemed so clear in his last moments. Indigo despaired. He wished that she hadn't been the princess, and he hadn't been a fool. They could have lived a simple, happy, uncomplicated life, far from death and bloodshed. He could have been Indigo, and she could have been Riza. The Nightwalker and the Princess would have been nothing more than a bad dream.
That was what he had really been fighting for. Not for kingdoms, or good, or even for power. All he had been fighting for was her.
And he had lost her, as surely as his own life was nearing its end. People ran past him without even seeming to notice the fallen boy bleeding out in the middle of the street. Indigo didn't mind. His hand found the source of the blood loss at his side, coming away crimson and warm. He laughed quietly, enjoying the irony in a strange way.
The site of the stab wound that was killing him slowly.
A boot came to rest by the side of his head, and Indigo made an effort to see the face that went with it. His muscles didn't want to obey. He looked anyways, turning his head slightly to the right. He didn't need to look, but it seemed rude not to acknowledge his enemy.
His eyes were as black as pitch, and yet they seemed to shine with victory. Perhaps it was merely the reflection of the flames he had started, that made those eyes gleam. Maybe it was even the screams that haunted the red night that made them appear to hold human emotion. Doctor Camellia smiled, a cruel, deliberate thing, as he took in Indigo's predicament.
"Well now," he said thoughtfully, ignoring the destruction around him. "Isn't this fortunate?" The roar of a Charizard echoed through the streets, as a winged shadow burst over them, spraying deadly flames onto already burning structures. Somewhere, a child was wailing. Disgust filled Indigo's heart at the sight of Doctor Camellia's bone pale skin, and the dark hair that ended just above his eyes.
"You should really…consider a tan," he managed to bite out. "People will mistake you for a vampire looking like that."
The man 'tsked' disapprovingly. "Is that any way to talk to your master? I expect better from you, Nightwalker."
"Then again," Indigo continued, considering the matter. "You probably can't tan. I bet you just look like a ripe Tamato berry if you venture out from your cave. I honestly would pay to see that-" His words broke off, replaced by a strangled gasp as Doctor Camellia's boot ground purposefully into the stab wound in his abdomen. Red hot sparks streaked through his mind as his vision went dark at the edges. Indigo gasped for air at the agony of it.
"Save your words," his enemy advised, black eyes soft. "You don't have much time." He looked at the burning city with an expression of liberation. "You did your absolute best, I'm sure. None of it matters now. The Princess has surely fled the city by now, your allies scattered to the wind. There is no one to save you. And my favorite part – you'll live just long enough to see everything you love burn into ash. Your story is finished, forever, Indigo Nightwalker."
"And here I was hoping for a sequel. I wonder if they'll give my money back at the door." He was right though. Indigo had failed. Failed so completely it was hard to think about. How had things gone so wrong?
Maybe it had been a mistake, trying to control Entei. He had practically given the Legend to his enemy after all. His biggest regret was leaving Riza behind. She would have to continue the fight alone.
"Do you want to know my secret?" Doctor Camellia asked, sitting cross legged on the ground next to him, as though the city weren't burning around them. "I confess, I've somewhat missed my chance to monologue. It almost seems too late at this point. Better late than never I suppose."
"You're actually a woman?" Indigo guessed, his voice weak. The blackness was edging in farther and farther at the corners of his eyes. He wished he had someone he actually liked by his side, at the end. "I find myself unsurprised."
"My name," Doctor Camellia said simply, ignoring his snarkiness entirely. "Is Tero Akkarin."
It was amazing how easily the pieces fit into place with that one small piece of information. Everything Doctor Camellia had done, everything he'd sworn to accomplish, it all made perfect, grotesque sense. His real name changed everything.
It was so perfect, Indigo was a little ashamed for not having seen it sooner. The puzzle was complete.
"Hey," Indigo called, as Tero stood, turning his back on him easily. "I have…a favor to ask!"
The monster looked back, raising an eyebrow at the strange request. Indigo fought the blackness, struggling to stay awake for just a moment longer. "Promise me," he gasped, his voice harsh. "Promise…you won't hurt her anymore. You got what you wanted. Leave Riza alone. There is no reason to kill her now."
"Oh Indigo," Tero sighed, crouching down so he could be heard more easily. "I'm going to cut her fingers off one by one when I find her. I'll crush her eyes and burn her flesh until even you wouldn't recognize that pretty face of hers anymore. I plan to torture Riza Calariam until she doesn't even remember her own name, much less yours. And I'm going to do it for no reason, except to make you suffer more in your last moments on Earth."
He stood smoothly while Indigo gaped on the ground, sheer horror making his mind run cold. By the time he found his voice, Tero Akkarin, better known as Doctor Camellia, was walking at an unhurried pace down the wide dirt street, while civilians burned and buildings collapsed around him. "Monster," Indigo gasped out, as his vision narrowed to nearly nothing. The Charizard made another pass at his hometown, igniting everything that moved. Somewhere, far off, Indigo heard the unmistakable roar of Entei.
"You MONSTER!" he howled, unable to express his fury with anything stronger than a scream.
His last moment came then, with his heart filled with grief and guilt, as his home burned all around him.
The fires burned well into the night. Most of the inhabitants of Karraket were long gone, fleeing the blaze and the wrath of Entei. What was left over was a scorched husk of a town, blackened timbers still glowing the sullen shifting red of coals, while fires still raged wherever wood remained. Only one being moved through the wide stone streets, heedless of the destruction. A cool mist swirled around it, a welcome relief to the crackling air. Steam hissed wherever it touched the scorching earth.
Cold blue eyes regarded the body in the middle of that street. The fires had not touched the boy in question, thanks to the width of the packed earth street. His skin was red and cracked from the heat on one side of his face. His hair was a blue so dark it looked black in the night. He had died with an expression of frustration etched stubbornly on his strong features.
Suicune stood over the boy for an indefinite amount of time. An icy cool wind danced around its mane, soothing rather than aggravating the shimmering coals of the city. The cries of Entei had long faded from the air, as the King of Fire left the town to burn.
At last, Suicune threw its head back, howling a song that spoke of ice and clear water. Wind rushed from the North, and it began to rain on the shattered city, and the body of the boy. Steam hissed from the ruins. Cold drops ran down the boy's face almost like tears. The heavens opened, and the fires retreated, washing the blood from the streets.
Suicune lowered its head, meeting the gaze of the woman who stood over the boys' body. She alone seemed to be untouched by the flames. She had hair as dark as ochre, down around her shoulders, framing a face that looked better suited to laughter than the serious expression it wore then. Her eyes were a clear a blue as Suicune's own. Her dress didn't move the same direction as the wind.
She didn't say a single word, as the rain passed through her. Silence reigned as the deluge turned the gutters into streams. She closed her eyes as though she were making a desperate wish.
The woman disappeared, leaving Suicune with the boy once more.
Thunder boomed overhead. The rafters creaked, and dust and dried herb leaves drifted down like snow. The old woman swore loudly and creatively, stuffing materials and books into her already too large pack.
She was by no means ancient. In fact, she was only in her forties. But the woman's once vibrant pink hair had faded to a pale imitation of its former glory, and deep, disapproving lines made her appear prematurely aged. Her hands were a mess of veins and wrinkles, with fingernails like stone. She might not have appeared so old if she smiled. But her expression was rigid, a permanent grimace of irritation that seemed etched onto her face.
Kaya Acadia was not a pleasant person. Anyone who had visited her for a remedy or a treatment could attest to that, after witnessing her abominable bedside manner. But they kept coming, because she was the very best at what she did.
And they would always come. Assuming anyone had lived through the night.
The rain had cleared some of the black smog in the air of Karraket, but Kaya cursed it anyways. She would not be able to leave the house tonight. Her daughters' condition was bad. She couldn't travel by their open cart in the rain. At least there was little danger of the fires spreading in the sudden deluge.
She was forced to stay, when most of the other inhabitants had fled. Luckily for all involved, Kaya's clinic was on the very outskirts of town, and had managed to avoid the flames. The old woman took was taking no chances however. All her valuables, and quite a few less valuable trinkets made their way into her oversized bag, ready to be whisked away at the slightest hint of danger.
"Curse that stupid boy," she hissed as she grabbed a bouquet of Payapa leaves, stuffing them into the pack with everything else. "All his fault," she muttered under her breath, "-couldn't leave well enough alone. Just had to try and be a hero, and look where it got him? Bravery runs in the entire family, and that's why they're all dead. Not like me, and my little clan of cowards. We'll survive long after the heroes die!"
Her rant was interrupted by the shutters flying open, and cold wind howled through the frame, scattering papers and knocking a pair of glasses onto the floor. Kaya swore again, and this time it was so colorful she felt a little vindicated. The storm was picking up outside. She struggled to grab the edges of the flapping shutters.
That was when she saw the woman standing in the rain. Kaya's heart nearly stopped in her chest, meeting those cold blue eyes.
It was impossible!
She stumbled to the door, her limp hindering her movements, and threw it open to the storm. Wind howled with savage joy around her, but she didn't as much as pause.
There was a body on her doorstep. The rain had plastered his hair down against his forehead. His features were as recognizable as they were painfully reminiscent. Kaya's heart twisted with pain. She looked back out at the storm, but the woman from before was gone. Suicune stood where she had been, coldly beautiful despite the rain.
"I can't help him!" Kaya shouted angrily, despite the fact that a Legend stood before her. She rarely got the chance to scream at all powerful beings. She didn't intend to let the chance go to waste. Her emotions were raw; more because of the woman that had reminded her of the past than the corpse at her feet. "He's beyond human help! I can't save him, do you understand? What's more, this traitor doesn't deserve to live!"
Suicune simply looked at her. Only its mane moved, flowing against the wind serenely.
"I wouldn't help him even if he were alive!" Kaya continued stubbornly. "Do you know what this boy has done? This whole disaster is his fault! It's his fault, and you can't shame me into thinking otherwise!"
The rain pattered down, and Suicune turned to walk away. Kaya fell to her knees, holding her arms tight across her stomach. "I won't be held responsible for this," she whispered angrily. "If this backfires, I will not hear of it being my fault!"
She brought the boy inside, closing the door behind her against the storm, and the figure she had seen earlier. The raven haired woman smiled a little sadly. She didn't mind showing such a painful expression. No one could see her right then anyways.
Kaya muttered to herself the whole time, as she dragged Indigo to the middle of the room. She didn't bother being careful. "This won't work," she assured herself. "It really shouldn't anyways. I'll just have to bury him tomorrow, and invite Riza to his funeral. She'll probably cry, and we can all move on. That would be best."
"And anyways," she continued, as she pried up a dusty floorboard. "I'm not doing him any favors. Even if this does, by some slim chance work, he'll probably hate me for it." The thought cheered the sour woman greatly. She reached into the cubbyhole beneath the floorboard, and pulled out the only object within. It was a Poke ball, rusty and discolored, held shut with miniature chains. Kaya took the tiny key from its chain around her neck, twisting it in the locks three times. The chains slithered to the ground, clanking with protest.
She took a deep breath to steady herself. It took some effort to turn the knob on top of the sphere which would open it. Flakes of rust coated her fingers as she struggled with it. Finally, the knob was off, and she tossed the sphere into the air. Scarlet light burst free, lighting up the house, as the Pokemon within was freed for the first time in nearly twenty years.
Cream colored tails tipped with saffron whipped through the air as the light faded. The lean figure of the fox was undiminished by the years. It was hard to believe the beautiful Pokemon was older than Halladen itself, but it became a little easier when one looked into her scornful crimson eyes.
"Kaya," the Ninetales greeted, her voice echoing sonorously directly into the woman's mind. "It's been quite some time. You've grown ugly."
"And you've grown as rude as your trainer once was," Kaya snapped with irritation. "Nivalis!"
Amusement sparked in the pupiless eyes of the ancient fox. "Why have you released me, healer? Do you intend to inflict my wrath upon this world once more?"
"Not yet I don't," Kaya said churlishly. She had no intention of releasing Nivalis. She might not like the world, but she did not intend to see it destroyed. "A mutual friend has requested a favor. Do you recognize the boy?"
Nivalis stepped daintily over the messy floor, peering with curiosity at the stubborn face below her. She didn't speak for a long time.
"He looks like his father," she complained, distaste coloring her voice. "I never liked him. It seems the boy has committed quite a few serious crimes. I can see the fog around his soul…yes, there is darkness within him. He could have become a monster. He very nearly did. I only wish I had been present before his death, to properly destroy him."
Kaya grimaced. "I thought you might say that." She took a deep breath, preparing herself. "In fact, I think you're absolutely right. Indigo should be forced to suffer. Death is too easy. Let him work for redemption. Layla has already given her blessing!"
Nivalis snapped her empty red eyes up Kaya's face. She half hoped the fox would say it was impossible, and could not be done, but the expression those eyes took on could only be called glee. Kaya saw the vindictive joy her words had caused, and felt a little sick. Nivalis threw back her head and laughed.
"It seems the old woman has some sense left in her after all!" the Ninetales laughed. "Yes…let the boy burn. He will live. But not here. He will be forced to exist with his pain until he understands the true nature of caring, and strength. Until then…he will never be able to return. What a wonderful idea!"
Yes, Indigo might well hate her for this. Nivalis was famous after all.
Her former friends Pokemon had cursed hundreds of souls. Each one was unique. It often drove her victims mad.
The chances he would succeed in breaking whatever curse she chose to lay were slim. But if he did manage it…
"If the boy breaks my curse, only then will he be allowed a second chance to defeat his enemy," Nivalis crooned, as thunder cracked outside. "If he fails, his soul is mine forever. A fitting fate for the traitor. I must thank you for allowing this, Kaya Acadia. I haven't had such fun in decades!"
A/N I never meant to write this. Honestly. It just happened. And I have no idea where I'm going from here. =_= I guess I'll find out later. Until then, bear with me?
Loved it, hated it, barely got through it, please let me know. I would appreciate any and all feedback, and I promise to make this story a decent one. Drop me a review and we'll both find out where this is going, and where we'll end up when the last chapter finally comes.

About Andie Meek
So This Is Me...
I'm Andie J.
I believe firmly in spreading color and glitter and happiness around the world. I believe art, in its various forms, is an incredibly important part of life. I believe in making the abstract concrete.
Sometimes I sketch. Sometimes I doodle. Mostly I paint...mostly with acrylics...but I do so love mixed media. Above anything else, I sketch, doodle or paint what I love...even when nobody else gets it.
I believe everyone should be able to afford whatever art speaks to them. It would break my heart for a piece to not find its true home because of a price tag.
So this is me...in a very colorful, glittery nutshell.

From the Inside Flap
In this engaging new book, author Prem C. Jain extracts Warren Buffett's investment wisdom from Berkshire Hathaway annual reports, Buffett's letters to shareholders and partners in his partnership firms, and as many of Buffett's other writings as he could find—thousands of pages written over the past fifty years. Through this effort, Jain uncovers the key elements of Buffett's approach and offers an accessible way to apply it to your own investment endeavors.
With Buffett Beyond Value, you'll quickly learn that, contrary to popular belief, Warren Buffett is not a pure value investor, but a unique thinker who combines the principles of both value and growth investing strategies. You'll also discover why Buffett emphasizes the importance of high-quality management above many other metrics when evaluating a company he's interested in.
Written for anyone serious about stock market investing, this unique guide skillfully outlines the proven principles Buffett has followed over the course of his long and successful career and shows you what it takes to make them work for you. Topics include:
How to build a diverse and profitable portfolio the Warren Buffett way
Why you need an appropriate psychological temperament to be a successful investor
Buffett's thoughts on market efficiency and the ways in which you can incorporate them into your investment decision making
How issues related to profitability and accounting can provide you with a perspective that is uncommon in investing circles
Why Buffett thinks differently from others about portfolio diversification, corporate governance, and much more
If there's one person worth listening to when it comes to investing—whether you're an individual investor, a student, an academic, or a professional portfolio manager—it's Warren Buffett. And with Buffett Beyond Value as your guide, you'll gain valuable insights that could enhance your understanding of investing and improve your ability to make more profitable decisions in today's markets.
From the Back Cover
—BURTON MALKIEL, Professor, Economics Department, Princeton University; author of A Random Walk Down Wall Street and The Elements of Investing
"This is required reading for all Buffettologists looking for more than just sound bites and folk wisdom in their quest to peer into the mind of one of the greatest investors of all time. Read this book slowly and savor every page while sipping a Cherry Coke!"
—ANDREW W. LO, Harris & Harris Group Professor, MIT Sloan School of Management
"What better way to become a successful investor than to study the teachings of Warren Buffett? And, what better way to study those teachings than to read Buffett's forty-year writings contained in his annual reports? Prem C. Jain jump-starts those lessons by culling Buffett's most salient investment secrets and summarizes them in a wonderful and easy-to-read book."
—HOWARD M. SCHILIT, author of Financial Shenanigans; founder, Financial Shenanigans Detection Group
"Post the 2008-2009 financial crisis, everyone from New York to New Delhi is looking for investment advice. The advice has just arrived! Prem C. Jain's lucid, accessible encapsulation of Buffett's investment wisdom is a page-turner—it's full of investment nuggets and entertaining anecdotes, and yet the write-up is faithful to economic theory. Buffett's investment thesis is now out in the open, and therefore may a thousand Buffetts bloom!"
—S.P. KOTHARI, Managing Director, Blackrock; Gordon Y Billard Professor of Management, Sloan School of Management, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Top Customer Reviews
The rest of the book is largely a rehash of the annual reports and I think it is better to directly read the primary sources because this book misinterprets some of Buffett's writings. For example the author assumes Buffett pays a premium for a business because of "the potential growth". This is not true because Buffett in his reports makes it abundantly clear that if a business could grow by $1 but consumed $100 of capital in the process, this "growth" would be destructive for shareholder value. It may seem that I'm nitpicking here but anyone who reads Jain's book and runs out and start paying a premium simply for "growth" would risk doing great violence to their wealth. The book contains a number of these partial truths and inconsistencies.
Overall I would recommend skipping the book and directly reading shareholder letters.

Perusing the latest footwear collection at Nine West, my eyes were rattled when they happened upon a pair of toeless boots. Isn't the whole point of boots to keep your feet warm? And the ideal excuse to skip getting that costly pedicure?
I couldn't find an image, but Nine West isn't the only shoe retailer offering the strange style. Peep-toe boots have been seen in the spring/summer collections (I'm not sure if fall/winter would be weirder or not) from brands including Moschino who offers the Cheap and Chic toeless bootie in patent purple, then there's the Calipo Peep Toe Bootee and best of all, the butterfly silk brocade LoPresti Design "Jade" Boots.
The style has also been seen on style icons like Victoria Beckham, Lindsay Lohan and Sarah Jessica Parker.
I completely understand the desire for Bootie Pies; the convertible boots have toes that retract, perfect for at-home pedicures, or drying your tootsies while lounging in-spa.
