Burden of Visual Truth by Julianne H. Newton
Book DescriptionAs the visual component of contemporary media has overtaken the verbal, visual reportage has established a unique and extremely significant role in 21st-century culture. Julianne Newton has prepared this comprehensive analysis of the development of the role of visual reportage as a critical player in the evolution of our understanding of ourselves, others, and the world. The Burden of Visual Truth offers a first assessment of the role of visual journalism within the context of the complex, cross-disciplinary pool of literature and ideas required for synthesis. Newton approaches the subject matter from several perspectives, examining the theoretical and ideological bases for visual truth, particularly as conveyed by the news media, and applying relevant research on photojournalism and reality imagery to contemporary newspaper, broadcast, and internet professional practice. She extends visual communication theory by proposing an ecology of the visual for 21st century life and developing a typology of human visual behavior. Scholars in visual studies, media studies, journalism, nonverbal communication, cultural history, and psychology will find this analysis invaluable as a comprehensive base for studying reality imaging and human visual behavior. The volume also is appropriate for journalism and media studies coursework at the undergraduate and graduate levels. With its conclusions about the future of visual reportage, The Burden of Visual Truth also will be compelling reading for journalism and mass communication professionals concerned with improving media credibility and maintaining a significant course for journalism in the 21st century. For all who seek to understand the role of visual media in the formation of their views of the world and of their own identities, this volume is a must-read.

China is innovating in the market of death with a fleet of execution buses in which convicts are efficiently and cleanly put to death by lethal injection.
The mobile death chamber means executions can be ordered and carried out by courts in towns and villages around a particular province, with executioners and medical staff shuttling between different jurisdictions. Authorities say the initiative is a deterrent against crime.
"First, we established there was demand for execution vehicles. Then we designed the vehicles and applied to the government for certification. This procedure is a must," said Mr Zhang, from the marketing department of Jinguan Auto – a Chongqing-based maker of ambulances, police lorries, bulletproof shields and armour-plated limos. Mr Zhang, who did not wish to give his first name, said the execution bus is a refitted 17-seater minibus which is seven metres long. So far the company had sold 10 of the vehicles.
Viewed in the online catalogue, the bus looks innocuous enough from the outside. Mr Zhang explained how criminals are tied hand and foot to a stretcher at the back, then injected with a cocktail of lethal toxins. The bus also features a video monitoring system, to ensure that executions comply with state rules, he explained.
The execution bus also makes it easier to use organs from prisoners for transplants, with doctors and nurses on hand to make sure they are transferred swiftly. This practice has been attacked as inhumane, although the Chinese government insists it takes place with the permission of the donors and their families.
China executes more prisoners than any other country, and non-violent crimes such as corruption and tax fraud, as well as the traditional capital offences such as murder, are among 68 crimes that carry the death penalty.
Before creation of the buses, the condemned were executed by being shot in the back of the head, but executioners were often forced to wear rubber boots, because of the large amount of blood involved in shootings, and occasionally prisoners had to be shot several times before finally dying.
One reason why executioners wanted a different method was because many of those killed were drug traffickers, and were said to have HIV/Aids. Executioners said they were worried they would become infected by spraying blood.
"Lethal injection reduces the pain and fear of the condemned. It is a more humane way to die," Mou Ruijin, associate professor of the Law School of Northeast University, told the Xinhua news agency after the province of Liaoning became the latest to switch to lethal injections.
The makers of the van say sales are steady, and urge any foreign governments interested to get in touch.

China Family Holiday
This exciting family holiday takes you on a grand journey through the varied landscapes of China. First to the fascinating city of Beijing where you'll visit Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City and the famous Great Wall. An overnight train to Luoyang takes you to the hallowed Shaolin Temple where you can see and have a go at Kung Fu. Explore the spectacular Longmen Caves filled with carved Buddhas. See the pandas at Chengdu, and visit Xian, the start of the Silk Route - once the richest city in the world and home of the awe-inspiring Terracotta Army. Next you'll journey to Yangshuo in the heart of rural Guanxi province. To a backdrop of beautiful sugar-loaf peaks bike through local villages and learn to rustle up a delicious Chinese meal. Finally explore vibrant Hong Kong.
Nimen Hao! Welcome to China. After your over night flight you will arrive in Beijing in the early afternoon. Your time is free until the welcome meeting that evening at 6pm. After arriving in Beijing, there will be plenty of time for relaxing and meeting the other members of your group, before perhaps heading out to enjoy the first of many superb Chinese meals. Although the original terminus of the Silk Route was Xi'an, the infamous Mongolian warlord Kublai Khan made Beijing his capital and extended the route. During the Ming dynasty two of the city's great monuments were built – The Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven - which we will visit on Day 3 of our tour.
Dong Fang Hotel or similar
Great Wall
Pull on some comfy shoes and head to perhaps China's best-known attraction, the Great Wall (approximately 2 hours). As historically significant as it is visually striking, this experience is often said to be one of the most memorable of the trip. Stretching over 5,000 kilometres from the coast in the east, the wall was built as a defence against invasion from the horsemen of the far north. Surrounded by woodland and countryside and around 90 kilometres from Beijing, the 1,500 year old Mutianyu section of the Great Wall is considered one of the best preserved and restored parts of the wall. Renowned for its Ming Dynasty guard towers (there are 22 of them over this 2,250 metre-long stretch) and built mainly of granite, the wall is an impressive sight at over 7 metres high and more than 4 metres wide. You'll walk along a section of the wall, taking in the surrounding scenery and getting a feel for the sheer size of this amazing construction. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for lots of steps! For those wanting a more relaxing way to get to the top of the wall there is the option of taking a cable car. Return to Beijing by private bus for an early duck dinner and then some free time, if you still have the energy.
Dong Fang Hotel or similar - Breakfast included
This morning after breakfast we will head out for a discovery of the Chinese capital.The maze of buildings within the City became the symbolic and literal heart of the capital and the kingdom. Symbolism abounds here; dragon and phoenix represent emperor and empress, and construction was in accordance with the principles of Yin and Yang - the balance of negative and positive forces.Tonight we are in for a treat as we head out for a night of acrobatics at a Beijing acrobatic show.
Dong Fang Hotel or similar - Breakfast included
Beijing and overnight train
Today we take a local bus to visit the Temple of Heaven Park, a masterpiece of Chinese architecture, set in beautiful surroundings where people enjoy tai chi, fan dancing, diablo, kite flying, water calligraphy and more.
In the afternoon we will head back to the hotel (1 room per family provided), where there's the chance to freshen up before transferring to the train station (approximately 30 minutes ) and boarding an overnight sleeper train to Xi'an (approximately 12 hours).Notes: Train travel in China is a great way to mix with local people. On soft sleeper trains compartments are closed with two tier bunk beds, four to a cabin. Sheets, pillows and blanket are provided, with luggage is stored in the cabin. There are basic bathroom facilities at the end of each carriage with a toilet and washbasin. It's a good idea to bring your own toilet roll and some wet wipes. Please keep in mind that standards of cleanliness will not be what you are used to. Safe hot drinking water is provided for making tea, coffee or instant meals. You will need to bring a mug, spoon, knife and fork to prepare your own meals. Most trains have a dining carriage and limited snacks can be purchased en route. Please be prepared that you may have to share a carriage with persons outside of the group. Why not use your free time on the train for an informal language lesson from your leader or a local and learn a few simple words to use in your travels?Overnight Sleeper Train - Breakfast included
Explore the historical splendour of this ancient city on a walking tour. Dating back 6,000 years and once known as the main eastern terminus of the ancient Silk Road, Xi'an served as the imperial capital of 11 dynasties, holding a wealth of history within its cobbled pavements.
The city itself has spread beyond these walls, but the centre still retains the original grid formation, making it easy to navigate. We'll be taken by our Group Leader on a walk to the city wall where we will get to bike on top of the city walls, a fantastic way to experience the city from a different angle. Visit our friends at a local charity: Huling ("wise spirit") and learn about the great work they are doing for the mentally challenged members of the community , a project supported by the Intrepid Foundation.We will take a night time tour of the city when the Bell and Drum towers are lit up and end up enjoying another Chinese delicacy, a dumpling dinner.Union Alliance Atravis Executive Hotel or similar - Breakfast and Dinner included
Xi'an is, of course, famous for the Terracotta Warriors, guarding the tomb of Emperor Qin Shi Huang. Although this vast army was buried some 22 centuries ago, it was only discovered as recently as 1974. Today we drive to the site (approx. 11/2 houra) which is spread over several tombs. The sheer size of the assembled terracotta army and the excellent displays really feed the imagination. There is also an interesting museum housing a collection of artefacts from the original digs.
Union Alliance Atravis Executive Hotel or similar - Breakfast included
Today we transfer to the airport (approx. 1 hour) and fly to Chengdu (approx. 90 min), capital of Sichuan province.
Chengdu is famous throughout China for many things including spicy Sichuan food and the endless chatter of the city's tea houses. We'll have an included dumpling dinner tonight to tempt our tastebuds and explore the interesting old town streets or Tibetan quarter.
Chengdu City Garden Hotel or similar – Breakfast and Dinner included
Globally Chengdu it is renowned for the panda research centre, which we will visit this morning. China's national pride, the giant panda is a rare and increasingly threatened creature. The research centre is home to both giant and red pandas, and we can marvel at these incredible creatures in a close approximation of their habitat. It's an early start as pandas are only active for a few hours of the day to eat and exercise, but the opportunity to get close to these remarkable beings is an experience not to be missed.
Chengdu City Garden Hotel or similar - Breakfast included
This morning we take a flight to Guilin (approx. 90 min), from where we head into the picturesque countryside to Yangshuo (approx. 2 hours).
The inspiration for many paintings and literary works, Yangshuo lies on the western bank of the Li River, which meanders languidly through a remarkable landscape of dramatic limestone sugarloaf peaks, one of the most memorable classical images of China.
Starway Hotel Xinfuan Yangshuo or similar - Breakfast included
Start this more chilled portion of the trip at an easy pace – the same as the locals. Take a short walking tour with your leader to familiarise yourself with this laid-back town, then test out your moves with a local Kung Fu or Tai Chi teacher. Focus your body and mind, and pick up a few tricks or two. In the afternoon, visit a local farmers' market, where you can get a feel for the regional produce and daily life. Then make a short drive to Chalong, where you can put this new knowledge to use and learn the art of Chinese cooking. This class will allow the whole family to learn the techniques and skills of Chinese cuisine from experienced chefs, and after an afternoon trying out delicious recipes, you can eat what you've made for dinner! With recipes that are easy to make and ingredients readily available outside of China, you'll soon be wowing friends and family back at home.
The rest of the time is free to explore Yangshuo. There are many activities available here including calligraphy classes and boat trips on the river or many shops and cafes to browse and relax in.
Starway Hotel Xinfuan Yangshuo or similar - Breakfast and Dinner included.
Continue your Yangshuo adventure today, beginning with a chance to explore some more of one of China's most epic landscapes. Head out of town on bikes to cycle through the surrounding countryside, and gain an insight into Chinese rural life on a ride where each turn in the road brings you to another picture-postcard location. Take farm tracks, meander through paddy fields, and enjoy spectacular limestone karst scenery on all sides. You might pause for a cold drink beside one of the most beautiful of the Li River tributaries, and then continue on to a local village nestled at the base of Moon Hill. Look up to see the almost perfect semi-circle hole in a hilltop limestone arch. Here you can sample local farmers' cooking (drinks and lunch at your own expense), before cycling back to Yangshuo. The rest of the day is free to explore the town and the surrounding area. There are many activities available here – perhaps try your hand at Chinese calligraphy, simply sit back and relax on a relaxing cruise down the Li or Yulong River, or browse the local shops and cafes.
Starway Hotel Xinfuan Yangshuo or similar - Breakfast and Lunch included
Hong Kong
This morning around 9am, head to the train station and board the Bullet train towards Hong Kong. Experience the rush of speeding 300 km/h on the bullet train from Guilin to Shenzhen, before continuing on to Hong Kong. The train journey takes 4-5 hours, and then you'll take the intercity bus from Shenzhen to Hong Kong. The China-Hong Kong border is busy, so there can often be a bit of a wait to get through, and a lot of patience is required. On average, it takes around 2 hours to clear immigration and customs on both sides. Your bags will be with you during this time. It was as a British colony that Hong Kong made itself known to the world and, since the 1997 handover, the city is still a unique and fascinating place to explore and see where the East really does meet the West. Arrive in the city around 5-6pm and take an orientation walk to get you settled in a city full of surprises just waiting to be uncovered. If there's the time (and energy), end the day with the Symphony of Lights laser show in Victoria Harbour.
Metropark Hotel Kowloon or similar - Breakfast included
Hong Kong
Hong Kong has been back under Chinese rule since 1997 and it is a truly unique place where east and west meet. The vibrant and fast paced city is only minutes away from quiet islands and beaches.
Ride on the Star Ferry, see the nightly light show on the Harbour, travel on the double decker buses and trams or take a day trip to Macau if you have extra time in Hong Kong. Travel to the city's highest point - Victoria Peak on the unique Peak Tram and hope that the weather will be clear for spectacular views!
Metropark Hotel Kowloon or similar - Breakfast included
Departure Day
It's time to end this enlightening journey into the heart of China. Thoss on a flight inclusive package will be up early and transferred to the airport for their flight home, arriving later today.
Breakfast included
Beijing & the Great Wall of China
In Beijing, capital of China, you can explore the crowded streets and marvel at the Forbidden City, before heading north to wander along the snake-like Great Wall of China and hear stories of horsemen invading from the north.
Kung Fu & Caves & Terracotta Warriors
Song Shan is the spiritual home of Kung Fu. You will be amazed at the strength and agility of the Shaolin monks - who can balance on one finger – before learning some of the moves yourself. You continue your family holiday to the thousands of statues at the Longmen Caves. From Xian you'll visit the amazing Terracotta Warriors, whose serried ranks served Emperor Qin, the first emperor of China over 2000 years ago. Seeing the warriors lined up is truly awe-inspiring.
Pandas, Villages & Hong Kong
In Chengdu you'll visit the Panda Breeding and Research Centre, vital to the survival of this endangered animal. Whilst in Guilin and Yangshuo, amongst spectacular limestone scenery and dramatic rice terraces you'll explore villages by bike and unleash your inner Ken Hom with a Chinese cooking class. From forested peaks to brightly lit skyscrapers all surrounding a vast harbour plied with ships and ferries Hong Kong is a vibrant and contrasting end to your trip.
Our Land of the Dragon trip is just one of our many Asia Family tours. To find out more visit our Asia holidays page.

This week's edition of The Best and Worst of Raw is a little longer than normal, because sometimes the people in charge of pro wrestling decide they want to spend three hours doing what normally takes them two and what they could accomplish in one. WWE says the difference between a three-hour All-Star Raw and a normal episode is that superstars from the Raw and Smackdown brands come together for an exciting night of sports entertainment action! The actual difference is that during a three-hour Raw, you look at the clock and say, "Jesus, this is only halfway over?"
Next week is a three hour Raw as well, where fans get to vote on the matches and stipulations, because even WWE doesn't want people paying money to see Capitol Punishment. Please enjoy 700 pages of The Best and Worst of Raw. At least it isn't a slideshow!
Worst: Oh God, John Morrison is Back
I feel like I should explain myself before we begin. I want The Best and Worst of Raw to be an overwhelmingly positive column to contrast the "meh I'll give this match a C-minus" Internet status quo. I WANT this to be good. I want it all to good. I want to sit down on Tuesday morning with a Five Star notebook and an oversized novelty pencil and have nothing bad to say. The best things you can do as a wrestling fan are to watch and be able to change your mind. So when John Morrison makes his triumphant return to Raw, I want his day-off comedy boot camp to have paid off, I want him to have actual wrestling gear, and I want him to know how to do a headlock without having to study Raja Lion tapes.
But yeah, when Stone Cold started getting all WHAT, DRANK BEERS, SUMBITCH on R-Truth about competing on Raw, I could smell John Morrison beside him. The R-Truth parts of my life started flashing before my eyes. I put a picture of Truth in my dead Mother's locket, in case Starship Pain made me get all obviously symbolic.
Best: Wait, This is Actually the Best John Morrison Segment Ever
I proudly present to you the upside of not fast forwarding things you think you'll hate. Morrison's music played, and I sighed. He didn't come out, and it played again. That's wrestling TV code for "something unexpected is happening backstage". Truth left the ring and started walking up the ramp, and I swear I pictured at least 45 variations of John Morrison jumping off of something onto him as he walked. When he went backstage, I thought Morrison was gonna swing by on the ceiling and Resident Evil 2 his ass. And then, nope, it was awesome!
When Truth looked at the camera and said "SHAZAM" I could feel okay again. Not as okay as if he'd gotten struck by lightning when he said it, but still, I was happy. Morrison was down, and Truth got to kneel over him and gloat for a little while before smashing him into the wall with a production cart. I looked down at my hands and realized I WAS WRITING THIS SEGMENT IN REAL TIME. Truth mugged for the camera like Daffy Duck and ran away, and we sent it back to the ring for a 15-minute Canadian Ninjas vs. Hiroyo Matsumoto/Misaki Ohata tag team match.
Well, at least most of that actually happened.
Best: Raw is Fire Pro Wrestling Returns
Ezekiel Jackson, Bryan Danielson and Mistico is the most FPR trios team of all time, and I love it. Everyone got to shine; Danielson is the best pro wrestler in the world, Jackson knows how to do at least three bodyslams, and Mistico got to do a couple of cool things on live TV without Gail Kimming it and probably looked better than he has since he debuted. Sin Cara should be a HUGE DEAL~, and honestly all he needs to do is be crazy and stop screwing up his finishes for about six months and everyone will forgive and love him. Those kids go crazy for John Cena's apeish shoulderblocking, they should be losing their little goddamn minds over El Príncipe de Oro y Plata.
Also, I love that Cody Rhodes' "new image" for Ted DiBiase boils down to "regular Ted DiBiase, but with new wristbands". I'm sad that nobody in the Raw audience cares about Smackdown, and that the Barrett vs. Jackson Intercontinental Championship match at Capitol Punishment is that match you LOL at when you're in the used DVD store and pick up a five-year old pay-per-view. I bought a WWE pay-per-view off the $1 clearance rack at Half Price Books the other day that has a Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Masters match on it. Hahahaha, what the hell, when did this happen, and why did it happen alongside so much Bobby Lashley?
Worst: Can We Not Even Keep Up Kayfabe on the Price is Right
I'll give the Be A Star commercials a break (because "bullies"), but Kelly Kelly and the Bella Twins should not be co-existing on a game show no matter how many times Michael Cole says they've "put their differences aside". Aren't their "differences" an almost non-stop six month span of mental and physical abuse? Kelly should've gone on the show with with Gail Kim and some imaginary African-American babyface Diva, or the Price is Right should end with the Bellas hitting Kelly from behind with the Showcase and doing that derisive Stacy Keibler bent-over taunt-point at her.
Are the Bella Twins the worst developed characters in the history of WWE? They went from incestuous starf**kers to heel bullies who actually hate bullies and get along with everyone, but we're supposed to pretend they don't. The hell is that?
Also, HAS there ever been a black woman portrayed as a decent person by WWE? Alicia Fox is a heel, Jazz was a heel, Jacqueline was a heel, Kharma was a savage beast, Linda Miles was a transvestite dominatrix. Every black girl in Tough Enough or on NXT gets the "I'm a BITCH and I KNOW IT" gimmick. Even Shelton Benjamin's Mama was a bad guy. Get a grip, guys, black women don't like me either, but I'm not going around telling people how awful they are.
Best/Worst: Rowdy Roddy Piper
Piper is telling the truth (and the truth will set you free) when he says there will never be another Rowdy Roddy Piper. Especially not Miz, who I enjoy, but cannot see getting punched in the ear with a chain by Greg Valentine. Piper himself is a mixed bag; he's undeniably one of the most important, talented and memorable wrestlers in the history of the industry, but he's not perfect. Early Piper is choice, as is that Wrestlemania-era Piper where we love what he did on the big shows and don't really remember what he did in-between. The Piper shortly thereafter is terrible, painting himself half black to make a statement on racism and stripping Goldust to his ladies underwear to make a statement on pervert homosexuals. As a WCW loyalist, don't get me started on I.C.O.N. Piper, who was sleeper holding every imaginable member of the nWo when I just wanted to see more La f**king Parka.
Modern Piper is an encapsulation of that theme. When he shows up he's either great, or sort of ominously bad. Remember when he showed up at Madison Square Garden and kept rambling and saying goodbye, and we all thought he was going to go back to the hotel and be found dead? Last night's Piper was a mix, with his awesome "GOD??" reaction to Stone Cold on the TitanTron and his less than awesome "uhhh Alex Riley is TOUGH you know, uhhhh" stuff. Also, as a wrestling writer on the Internet I'm not allowed to tell you what I thought of Piper pinning Miz in 2011 on WWE television. I mean, I have an opinion about it, it just sounds really, really bad.
At least he didn't mention the coconut again. Oh, and also:
Question: Andre the Giant, King Kong Bundy, Mean Gene are all in the bottom of a well. So who do you save first?
Piper "changed the question" to this, and I think it has a simple answer. Obviously you'll want to save Mean Gene first, because he's the smallest, and if he's stuck in a well with those two big fat guys he's in the most need. Then I'd save Andre, who could use King Kong Bundy as a stepping stone to safety. Then I'd probably just leave King Kong Bundy in the well.
Actually, the more I think about it, Andre the Giant is already dead, so he can't be saved, can he? Is the question "would you save Andre's corpse from a watery grave?" Isn't the question "what the f**k are Mean Gene and King Kong Bundy doing with Andre the Giant's dead body at the bottom of a well?" Is this a Goonies thing? Are they going to send Mean Gene's blazer up on a bucket?

Sam Edelman Strapped Bootie: Love It or Hate It?
These Sam Edelman Strapped Booties, $170, definitely rival the footwear of the Olsens, right? Although I don't think anyone except for Ashley, Mary-Kate and models can pull them off, I still think they rock! I love the Cuban heel, the quilted detailing and the badass leather straps. Very avant-garde. Thoughts?

Beautiful story. I loved this:
"When you look up, you won't miss the beauty that is passing you by."
Oh so true.
So far I've learned that things don't always work out the way you'd planned, but that often what happens as a result is even better than you could have dreamed.
This is such an amazing series and I am so touched by Anna's sweet perspective. We certainly don't have control over our lives but I love how she makes the most out of what is given to her. So beautiful and inspiring 🙂April 26, 2012 at 12:22 pm
I adore Anna and her warm spirit! Love this statement: "Ultimately, I learned that I have the will to make the most of what is given to me…" This is something I've learned and still work on daily, choosing to be grateful!April 26, 2012 at 12:46 pm
This is such a wonderful series.. Your 20s are definitely a huge learning and growing experience. Love reading these!!

Love this series Sarah!!April 26, 2012 at 1:37 pm
This series is amazing. I am in my early 30's, but I learned so much about life during my 20's. Wonderful to see what others have experienced.April 26, 2012 at 2:29 pm
Such a fun series, Sadie! And ironic for me because I won't be in my 20s anymore in a month!!April 26, 2012 at 3:27 pm
i absolutely love anna! she is the epitome of grace and kidness- everything a woman should be. i hope the remainder of her 20's and beyond are just as good to herApril 26, 2012 at 4:42 pm
Gosh, Anna and her family are just so beautiful. I loved reading about what she's experienced in her 20s 🙂 Who knows, maybe 25 will be my year too!April 26, 2012 at 5:04 pm
This post is so sweet and made me realise that I'm letting my 20's pass me by!!
I think this is all great advice – but I would love to read about someone who isn't married!April 27, 2012 at 2:08 am
How sweet is she and those babies???April 27, 2012 at 2:31 am
you and your words are beautiful, Anna!April 27, 2012 at 9:03 am
Oh i love Anna so much. Such a beauty inside and out.April 27, 2012 at 10:55 am
Wow, this is such a beautiful post! Love this idea 🙂April 27, 2012 at 7:07 pm
Great series! I definitely learned a lot in my twenties. I wrote this post on my 30th birthday last year – 15 Things I Would Tell My 15-Year Old Self
Can't wait to see what my thirties teach me!April 28, 2012 at 10:19 am
I have been loving this series! Being in my (late) 20's reading everyone's perspective and story has let me reflect on my own.April 28, 2012 at 11:38 am
if i can end up like anna in a few years with gorgeous babes & a good head on my shoulders, i'll consider myself a lucky lady.April 28, 2012 at 10:15 pm
Anna, this was beautiful! It was so good to know you a little more through this. Definitely going to take your words to heart.May 1, 2012 at 5:13 pm

I will continue to post pics as soon as I have time, but unfortunately I have very
few identified historics. I do have quite a few different historic varieties but do
not know their names. Perhaps I will save the pics of my unknown historics
until after bloom season and then start posting them to gather suggested
identities to assist in further research. I'm not really all that anxious about
identifying my historics, though I would like to know if I happen to have
anything of significant historical significance growing in my unknown bed. I
continue to enjoy them with or without known identities. It would be nice,
though, to be able to put accurate names to some of these faces at some point
in time.

Balance Your Heating SystemOne of our most common service calls is for rooms that are "too hot" or "too cold". If you have this problem, you're probably wasting energy. If you're willing to spend some time, you can get your system just right.
Here's how:
You've just increased your comfort, and maybe lowered your utility bills! If this sounds too troublesome, we'd be glad to help. We've got measuring devices for accuracy and speed.
Is Your Heater Trying to Tell You Something?
Your home comfort system may be asking for a little time and attention. Your home's temperature and your utility bill are among the ways it communicates its needs.
Besides replacing your system, you could also see improved energy efficiency by increasing house insulation and air-tightness, repairing or insulating ductwork or tuning up your system.

Hybrid Heating?
It's been around since the 1980's, but as with hybrid automobiles, high fuel prices have caused growing popularity. Like hybrid cars, dual home heating systems work by splitting operations between fuel and electric sources, in this case, between a heat pump and a furnace. The heat pump draws heat from the outdoors and disburses it throughout the home. At a certain point, most systems switch automatically to the furnace to deliver the warmer heat provided by gas or oil. This hybrid system can reduce your energy bill up to 47%!

Patient is an avid skier. She spends a lot of time doing outdoor sports in winter and summer. This passion of hers resulted in a lot of sun exposure to her fair skin. The sun damage caused poor elasticity and wrinkling. At fifty, she wanted to have her face looking like it matched her athletic body. A facelift with fat grafting helped restore her facial contours. Lipostructure (fat grafting) helped to recreate fullness of her lips, forehead, cheekbones and chin. Annie liked that her own tissue was used to restructure her volume losses.

Chapter 1 – Age of Heroes
"Where am I..?"
The teenaged girl, who hung from the Storm Engine began to stir as her eyelashes flickered before they opened to reveal weary blue eyes.
"What happened… Where…?"
"I see that you have awoken." Cyclonis spoke, drawing the teen's attention to the sorceress. Her voice echoed throughout the room and shot into the girl's head form all sides, thus giving the girl a headache.
"What's going on…?"
"I am afraid that there is some bad news for you. If only you had remained unconscious for a few more minutes then you wouldn't have to go through this pain."
The girl gulped. "Pain?"
"Dark Ace, stand back." Cyclonis ordered. The Dark Ace nodded before moving to the other side of the throne room.
"What are you going to do?" the crimson haired girl asked in panic.
"I am going to reshape the world."
The teen watched the sorceress type away on a keyboard. She couldn't make out what words were typed, but she had a feeling that it would result in something bad. Moments later she felt the machine roar into life before all her senses were clouded in mind-blowing pain. The teen screamed out in agony, her blue eyes tearing up from the pain. It felt as though her very life was being drained from her body as the machine pulled out her power.
"Who shall be the first to fall?" Cyclonis asked to no one in particular. "There," the Dark Ace pointed to a small terra on the map.
"It's uninhabited?"
"Yes Master. Should the attack fail, none shall know of your plan and we can improve the machine and try again without any interruptions."
Cyclonis's lips curved into a cunning smile. "I do believe that is a brilliant idea."
"Thank you, Master Cyclonis."
Crimson light pooled into the machine and flowed through the tubes where it shifted and warped into black lightning. Dark clouds surrounded Cyclonia and formed into a hurricane. Black lightning shot into the eye of the storm and crawled through the clouds. This could only be the work of Cyclonis's plan. No other sorcerer was capable of suck darkness. As the energy flowed into the machine, Cyclonis and the Dark Ace were in awe for they have never seen such pure power come from a human. Only had a crystal ever demonstrated this kind of power.
-The Condor-
Ichigo sat on a bench a few meters away from the Storm Hawks, back facing the team. It wasn't that he didn't like the young team; it was just that he didn't feel like being around anyone. He was lost in thought, worried for his friend's safety. Ichigo knew, by now, that he was somewhere very far from his home. He was lucky enough to find nice people that agreed to help him, but what about Akira? Was she lucky enough?
'King, we're drowning in here.' Ichigo's eyes widened. There was no way that he just heard that voice again. No, he was only imagining things; people did that all the time when they were stressed.
'You and I both know that sitting around here and sulking isn't going to bring her back.'
"Shit..." Ichigo murmured. He wasn't imagining things... Shiro was back, talking to him live and in the flesh. Or, at least, live and in Ichigo's mind.
"What do you want?"
'I though that'd be obvious,' Shiro replied. He crossed his arms, a thin grin on his lips.
"You want to find Akira?" Ichigo questioned in fake belief. He laughed. "Like I'm going to believe you."
"Umm..." Finn interrupted. "Who exactly are you talking to?" Shiro laughed quietly while Ichigo mumbled in anger.
'You look insane.'
"I am not!"
'I said you look insane, not that you were. But then again you are talking to yourself.'
"Ichigo, are you okay?" Aerrow questioned, giving Ichigo a look as if he'd grown a second head.
"I'm fine," Ichigo replied quickly.
"Doesn't look that way to me," Finn muttered, earning a harsh slap from Piper.
"You didn't have to hit him that hard," Junko commented.
"Well-" Whatever Piper was about to say had been cut off by a loud crackling noise. The air seemed harder to breathe. The area around them seemed to sway and jump.
"Whose Spiritual Pressure was that...?" Ichigo questioned.
He spun around as if that'd give him an answer, but it was the hollow within him that truly answered it. 'That was Akira. And from the looks of things she's in deep trouble.'
"Akira!?" Ichigo screamed in worry.
Storm clouds rolled in both above and below as Ichigo could feel the same Spiritual Pressure rumbling through the clouds. Black lightning crackled the air with its intense energy. He took out his sword, anger and worry at the root of his reason. Without calling for it, his Bankai activated. Black and crimson coated his entire being. His thick, cleaver-like sword having compressed itself into a thin, black katana.
The Storm Hawks watched this in shock, though they had slightly become used to this man surprising them. As the black and red energy vanished, Ichigo could be seen standing in his Bankai. His right hand held his sword in a strong grip, his clothing swaying gracefully in the storm's rather ruthless wind. "I am going to save you, Akira." Ichigo promised aloud. Ichigo leapt into the air, much higher than a normal human could or should be able to. The Storm Hawks watched Ichigo soar through the air, but that had to be impossible right?
"We have to follow him!" Piper shouted.
"Are you nuts? Look at where he's headed!" Finn pointed out.
"Cyclonia is in that direction," Junko added in fear, "and that's where the storm clouds came from."
"We don't have a choice." Aerrow intervened.
"Of course we do," Stork cowered.
"No, we don't," Aerrow insisted. "We promised Ichigo that we'd help him, and that's exactly what we're going to do! No come on! This is our chance to show everyone what we can do!"
Her chest heaved up and down. Her blue eyes were wide in shock. It hurt, it hurt real badly. Her entire body was in pain, even after the machine had been turned off.
"It worked," the Dark Ace said, staring up at the machine in wonder.
"It did. You sound surprised?"
"Forgive me. I wasn't surprised for that reason. I knew it would work, Master, because you built it."
Cyclonis grinned. How she found someone as loyal as the Dark Ace, she wasn't sure, but she was glad she did.
The girl on the machine sent an exhausted glare at the sorceress and her servant "You... You..." She paused to catch her breath. "You witch. Just wait until... I get down from here!"
"You're in no position to be making threats."
The teen released an animalistic growl as she bared her teeth at Cyclonis before she passed out from exhaustion. Cyclonis's gave the girl a double over. What caught her attention was the after-image of an animal that was snarling at them before it faded into nothing.
-Six hours later, Cyclonia-
The other Sky Knights tried and failed to get into Cyclonia, the new weapon Cyclonis had created was far too powerful for them. So, even though they fought bravely, they still failed. In the meantime, Piper laid out a plan to her team.
And now it was time to execute it.
-With Finn and Junko-
Cyclonia was not just a building, but a fortress. The security was tight and almost impossible to sneak through. However, to Finn and Junko it was almost too easy. They snuck inside a - get this - doughnut shipment. Hey, villains got to eat doughnuts too! Junko placed his hand on his stomach, groaning in discomfort. "Finn, I never thought I'd say this, but if I never see another doughnut again it'd be too soon."
Finn jumped out of a pile of empty boxes. "Well," he said, dusting off his arms, "You didn't have to eat half of them."
Just then footsteps of an approaching Cyclonian soldier could be heard. Finn and Junko jumped out of and behind the shipment crate. The soldier peered around the corner, but before he ever knew what hit him, Finn and Junko knocked the soldier unconscious.
After a 'heroic' dash across the loading dock, Finn and Junko found themselves in a narrow hallway. Finn stared down at the floor intensely, almost as if he was looking for a lost contact lens, while Junko glanced around nervously behind him.
"What are we looking for again?" Junko asked.
Finn gave him a quick glance over his shoulder. "A grate in the floor," he whispered. He paused in his walking and turned to give the room they just passed a double take. "No way!"
"What, what is it?"
"That's her! That's Akira, the girl Ichigo was talking about! We can just get her and split!"
Finn slowly entered the room, but Junko didn't follow. "Oh... I don't know Finn," Junko mumbled cautiously. "That wasn't part of Piper's plan."
"She always making things too complicated... Just think of all the time and danger we can skip."
Junko thought about it for a second. That did sound much more pleasant than having to fight off more soldiers. And besides, Cyclonis was nowhere to be seen, getting Akira should be easy! Right?
Junko ran into the room after Finn. The girl, Akira gazed down at them with weak eyes. Her lips twitched in a small smile, before she faded from consciousness again.
"C'mon, help me get her down," Finn said enthusiastically. A shadow loomed over the three figures. Junko gulped.
"You may want to rethink that," Cyclonis said from the doorway.
Finn frowned in fear. "We're so busted."
"Put them in the machine." Cyclonis ordered. Two soldiers ran up to Finn and Junko before they took them by their arms and threw them into a larger set of pipes located to the right of the machine. These pipes took them in like a vacuum, and placed them right where the red energy turned into black lightning. Nothing was currently running through the pipes, but if Cyclonis turned the machine back on it was obvious Finn and Junko would be fried by the energy.
"Master," the Dark Ace called, "I believe that where these two came from there shall be more."
"I was thinking the same. Alert all units, we have intruders."
"Finn, I just want to let you know that you're the best friend I've ever had!"
"Thanks buddy," Finn replied. "And I just want to let you know that it was me who broke your favourite bunny lamp."
Junko sat up straight. "You said it was the wind!"
"Well..." Finn said sheepishly. "It was kind of windy when I tripped over it..."
"Storms made us. Storms tore us apart," Cyclonis chanted. "And now, storms will help us rebuild my way." As she gave the machine its commands, she was too busy to notice a small ball roll into the room. This ball was made of clay, a few orange crystals sticking out in random places. When the ball exploded, it shocked the guards near it causing them both to lose consciousness and fall over.
Aerrow stormed into the room and exclaimed, "Or we could do it my way!"
"This is getting rather annoying," Cyclonis growled. Another loud crash sounded across the room. It was Ichigo, who had managed to get here through an air duct.
"Shut down the machine and give me back what you stole!" Aerrow demanded. His narrowed eyes slowly widened as Cyclonis removed her hood, but it was Ichigo who spoke his mind.
"This is... Master Cyclonis?"
Cyclonis was grinning when she turned to face Aerrow. "So, you're the Sky Knight who keeps getting in my way? Aren't you a little young?"
"I was going to say the same thing about you," Aerrow declared, taking out his weapon.
"Allow me to handle him, master," the Dark Ace offered.
"Very well," she waved him off.
The Dark Ace took out his weapon and face Aerrow, while Cyclonis returned to the machine. Ichigo was prepared to strike her, but the scream he heard next chilled him to the bone. "Akira..." he said in a barely audible voice. Ichigo looked up at the machine, and sure enough there Akira hung.
Ichigo saw the forgotten zanpakuto of his friend and it was glowing bright crimson as it disintegrated into particles that flowed into the suffering crimson head. A nauseous feeling stirred in Ichigo's stomach. He felt sick at seeing how much his friend was suffering. His body wouldn't move, he couldn't talk and he seriously felt like falling to his knees and puking.
'You've gotta get up, King.'
Ichigo was paralyzed.
"Hey, Ichigo, are you okay?" Junko called from within his and Finn's glass prison.
That's right, there were people counting on him. Ichigo took a shaky step forward. There were people who needed him. Ichigo took another step. There were people in trouble, and it was up to him to help them.
"Akira!" Ichigo screamed, causing her blue eyes to snap open.
Ichigo pointed Tensa Zangetsu up at Cyclonis. "Let her go!"
"Ichigo?" Akira questioned before her body glowed a bright red as she started to growl with hate and pain.
Her fingernails began to grow into sleek, sharp claws as her teeth changed into fangs, while her body began to grow in size and shiny crimson red fur began to form in thick patches and it covered her clothes. Her legs soon began to change into hind legs, while her arms lengthened as well and soon enough, her forehead and nose pushed out into the form of a snout when her human ears grew out in length like a rabbit's as nine tails erupted from her tailbone. The form snorted before letting loose a loud roar which shook the throne room with its shockwaves as the red aura died down.
There were no words to describe the look on Cyclonis's face.
She was shocked to say the least.
Ichigo took this time to free Junko and Finn, cracking their prison with his zanpakuto. Junko was able to take it from there by smashing through the glass with his bare fists. The two managed to break free from their prison, during the chaos that ensured in the throne room.
"Gah!" A pained cry left Aerrow's lips when the Dark Ace knocked him against the wall. Aerrow glared up at the man, his eyes falling half lidded. Cyclonis hit a final button and the machine once again came to life. Akira growled, in both pain and in anger. Her tails lashed out furiously on the machine, denting it in some places but otherwise doing hardly any damage. The machine was strong, not only in its purpose by also in its construction.
"And so it begins," Cyclonis said, standing back in awe.
"That's where you're wrong!" Ichigo declared. Akira unleashed another roar as shockwaves split the walls apart and sent them up into the hurricane caused by the machine.
"It's already over!" Aerrow leapt forward through the air and landed by Finn and Junko. He held a defensive form towards the Dark Ace, who took it as a challenge. The two clashed again, this time with Aerrow as the victor. The demonic Akira broke free from the machine but the pipes are still connected to her body, thus draining more of her power and she stood on her hind legs, howling in pure rage and agony.
As Cyclonis went to help her servant, she met with Ichigo's blade. Akira turned round before she destroyed the pipes with three of her tails and raised her left front paw high. Her claws extended, she brought them down on the machine, successfully shattering the part that held her power. It vanished from the machine, and as it did the machine began to spark and tremble. The hurricane collapsed in on itself before disappearing from the sky.
"Do you have any idea what you've just done?" Cyclonis questioned angrily. A purple energy gathered in between her and Ichigo, sending the latter flying. Akira swung her tails in Ichigo's direction, catching the Soul Reaper before he got hurt.
Ichigo smiled at his friend. "Thank you... Akira." Even though it was hard to tell through her angered fox features, Akira smiled back.
"You'll pay for this." Cyclonis promised.
This got Akira's attention as she glared at the sorceress with hate and rage swirling in her eyes before she spoke "Me. Oh no as it is you who should pay!"
In the back corner of the room, another figure lurked in the shadows. Cyclonis grinned, knowing that she had been defeated yet. "You may have ruined this plan, but I know other ways to renew this world! You have not defeated me."
Akira snarled before going onto her hind legs and growled "I see? I thought you needed my power, or have you found other ways of destroy the lives of the innocent! THAT'S PATHETIC!" The demonic Soul Reaper roared as little orbs in two different colours poured from her body while her nine tails went into position in front of her mouth.
"What's going on?" Aerrow questioned. He stepped back in fear along with the rest of his team.
"You may... want to take a few steps back..." Ichigo advised.
The Storm Hawks watched as the two-coloured particles began to form into a dark purple ball which caused the air to intense in pressure as Akira opened her jaw wide before she slammed her jaws shut and her cheeks expanded as growls rumbled from her throat.
With a warning growl, Akira opened her mouth slightly as smoke poured from her before she further opened her mouth to fire the blast of higly condensed energy. When it collided with Cyclonis, a blinding white light spread throughout the room. Ichigo threw his arms over his eyes, he felt the power within his friend's attack as it pushed him back against what was left of the wall. Aerrow feared he would never be able to see again, but when the wind seemed to calm down he reopened his eyes and was able to see that nothing had really changed.
There was one thing different though, Cyclonis and the Dark Ace were nowhere to be seen.
"Is that it? Did we win?" Finn asked.
"I think so," Aerrow replied. Akira nodded proudly, after all it was her attack that had saved the day. Ichigo smiled, but deep in his gut he felt as though something was off. Sure, it was perfectly logical that Cyclonis had been defeated, but something told him they were finished here yet.
"Can we get out of here now?" Junko whined.
"Yeah..." Ichigo said, shaking his paranoia away.
The fox moved towards Ichigo and lowered herself to his level, allowing him to climb onto her back. This surprised the Storm Hawks as they never knew that Akira can be so powerful as a demonic entity with more than one tail, and yet still be kind in an almost sweet way.
"It's good to see you again, Akira." Ichigo greeted after she went to her full height, gently scratching behind Akira's ear, causing her to purr.
Aerrow was the first of the Storm Hawks present to actually come out of shock. He approached Akira and Ichigo with caution. "Akira, Ichigo has told us all about you. We are your friends, and if there's ever anything that the Storm Hawks can do, we'd be glad to help."
Akira gave Aerrow a look of understanding, but before anything else happened, Ichigo spoke, "I say we'd better get out of here before Cyclonis's guards arrive. There's easily a thousand guards in and outside of the citadel."
"I'm with Ichigo," Finn agreed, "Let's get out of here!"
-30 minutes later, Throne room, Cyclonia-
He pushed a large piece of rubble over the edge of the broken throne room. Sighing, he watched it fall down into the wastelands where it would boil away along with anything else dropped into that hell. "Master," he turned to Cyclonis, a scowl set firmly on his lips, "It would seem that they've destroyed your throne."
"That much is obvious," Cyclonis replied. "Though through destruction comes construction."
"Master Cyclonis," a hooded figure called. She was the one from before, the one who hid in the shadows while Akira attacked. "These strangers, what shall we do now that they've proven themselves to be a nuisance?"
Cyclonis turned to her and smiled. "You shall infiltrate the Storm Hawks, and one by one get them to trust you. If you cannot convince them to join Cyclonia, then you will eradicate them from the inside."
"Yes Master Cyclonis." The girl disappeared through flash step, making the Dark Ace's eyes go wide.
"She's one of them? One of the newcomers in our world?"
Cyclonis nodded. "However, she has not fallen to the Sky Knights' foolish ambitions. Instead, she has been 'persuaded' into helping Cyclonia change the world."
Me: You're not going to tell me what you have planned, are you?
MidnightEden234: Nope and besides I wanna leave some surprises for you too~!
Me: So, the hooded figure… Is that who I think it was?
MidnightEden234: Maybe! I'll tell ya a little later.

Avocado With Simple Dressing
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 0 mins
I love to eat an avocado for lunch, but I don't like it plain, this is always good, and I always have the ingredients on hand, sometime I use Balsamic Vinegar, or Rice Vinegar, but the amounts stay the same
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 very ripe avocado
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1⁄2-1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1⁄2 teaspoon smashed garlic (you can use 1/4 tsp ground if fresh is to much for you)
- fresh ground black pepper (optional)
- Scoop Avocado into a bowl.
- Wisk dressing ingredients together, adjust to taste, and pour over Avocado. Enjoy!

This was pretty tasty. I enjoyed the lemon juice on top. I did decide to use garlic powder instead. Thanks for posting this easy recipe:)
