A hundred years after they were installed, 2009 stimulus funds will go toward replacing at least 10 miles of those pipes. Water/Wastew'ater Manager John Stockton told the City Council Monday that the deteriorating crockery pipes, which are in some places totally collapsed, such as under the Hobbs Street railroad crossing, are letting in millions of gallons of rainwater, taxing the sewage treatment plant. "In all. the city has 130 miles of sewer pipe and 38 miles of that is clay tiles," said Stockton. "'I'hese date to no later than the 1950s. A lot of those that were installed never were intended to be watertight. "On a typical day 4-to-5-million gallons go through the plant, but in heavy rains that capacity can jump to 18 million. Our capacity is chewed up by groundwater." Stockton said $40 million in stimulus money flowed into Alabama specifically for sewer building or rebuilding.

Barry Carroll Schools in library has trouble meeting summer demand By Kyre.n Middleton kcireniS^athcnsnews-eourier.com Athens-Limestone Public Library Director Susan Todd said the facility has a two-fold task during summer: Providing materials for the annual in-house reading program for pre-school and elementary grades, and trying to provide enough copies on the shelves of required reading for local schools' reading Rsts. ^ This becomes an especially tricky balancing act when the library's book budget has steadily decreased from $78,522 in 1999 to $40,000 in 2009. Todd said the library could better keep up with required reading selections for middle school and high school students if the schools would loan their titles to the library for the summer months, such as Athens High School did this summer.

AV_1611 Bible Only. Exposing The Whore of Babylon. Revelation 17 KJV email@example.com
You should listen to the racket they make when big doll falls over.
They carried on screaming and being hysterical, well after it had fallen,……
and they could also see that no-one was hurt.
your attempt to explain the hysteria over the statue, did not work on me..
I'd just have to compare it to some big rock falling down and how much screaming there would be. I'm not arguing with you that Catholicism is infested with idolatry, or attempting to explain away anything. The very fact that they carry around statues on their shoulders like that attests to their idolatry, after all! I found that much the most disturbing part of the video.
7 They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place, and he standeth; from his place shall he not remove: yea, one shall cry unto him, yet can he not answer, nor save him out of his trouble.
Isaiah 46:7
It's remarkable, if you read on to Isaiah 47, how much that chapter about the fall of Babylon parallels the Catholic Church and their worship of Mary.
I was raised Catholic, but by the grace of God I have been set free! So I definitely understand, perhaps more than most, that their traditions are steeped in idolatry. I pray daily for those of my family who are still bound and absolutely blinded to this. There are so many people in that church with just no idea what the Bible really says. Seeing, they do not see…
Thank you for your comments Alma Mater.
I praise god, that you have left that cult..I do hope you will continue to enlighten catholics as to their deception etc.??
Absolutely! Being set free as I have been, creates a burden for those sill there.
If you dont mid me saying so/ asking…
I hope that you stopped going to their services ?
I think the way to go theses days, is independent fellowships, or house/home fellowships..using the KJV of course..
Jesus Christ is the only person that ever lived on this earth, that can be trusted 100%
I'm not sure how you can be saved, realize that the Bible is the Word of God, and still attend Catholic church. You can find my testimony on my blog. I attend an independent Baptist church. They are a KJV only church, but I'm not as convicted on that. I tend to use KJV and ESV in my home.
some people who get saved as you apparently did, still think they should stay within catholicism, to witness to the catholics…
I do not accept this as being the correct thing to do..
I am glad that you don't go to the catholic services any more.
I thank God that I have never been a roman catholic, or any other religion, before i got saved..
I got saved in 1992 by the way,,and a month or so after my conversion, I started using the KJV only, and have never used any other Bible since..
I believe the ESV does have problems,, words missing,

Marko Dano Highlights | 2013-2016
Anthony Lenting
February 29 2016 09:44AM
The Winnipeg Jets acquired Marko Dano as part of a package for Andrew Ladd this past week. The 21-year old winger joined the Jets on Saturday for the afternoon game in Pittsburgh.
See below the jump for Dano's highlights playing in North America from 2013 to present. For a background on Dano, check out Garrett's 'Getting to know Marko Dano' post from Thursday.
Apologies if you dislike the tunes. I recorded all highlights and noticed after that I did not turn off my microphone. It was either music or listening to me sniffle and cough randomly. Enjoy!

|Minimum Stay
|2 nights
Eagle Heights Cottage is located on Vashon Island in the Puget Sound. We like to call it a B&V--for bed and vegetables--because we offer our guests fresh, pick-your-own vegetables, herbs, and fruit in season, grown naturally without chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Eagle Heights Cottage is located on the bus line and is easily accessible from Seattle, Tacoma, or the Kitsap Peninsula, with or without a car. We offer TV, DVD player, Wi-Fi, CD player/radio, double bed, bath and shower, washer & dryer, easy access to public transportation, vegetable and flower beds, outside seating area with grill.
I'm Elizabeth Sullivan. I have lived on Vashon Island since 1995. I came to Washington state from Wisconsin to earn an MFA from the University of Washington. When my husband and I married in 2003, we decided it would be best to live in my husband's house, which is bigger, and I have rented out Eagle Heights Cottage ever since. It is sunny and I love to garden here.
Elizabeth Sullivan purchased this cottage in 2001
The Eagle Heights Cottage was comfy with every amenity needed for our short stay. The décor was a blend of antiques and wonderful decorative fabrics. The fixtures in the kitchen and bath had been updated in a style that blended with the ambiance of the cottage. My only suggestion would be to trim the foliage back to make the front walkway more accessible. Otherwise, we had a lovely time and the owner was most accommodating.
We were visiting Washington State from Texas and had a week of activities planned all over the area. We thoroughly enjoyed the island on one of those days and every evening. Each day the cottage was the perfect escape to relax and prepare for the next day. It was wonderful to get away from the city life and experience a more simple way of living, away from everything. If you stay here, you must eat some of the eggs from the chickens in the back yard. We boiled a few and enjoyed them for breakfast with some of the local fruits we had purchased the day before. If you arrive during the warmer months, it may be a bit stuffy when you initially walk in. Just open the windows and use the box fan she has in the closet. It cools down quickly and to a cozy 50 degrees overnight which you can feel throughout the cottage. Be sure to get downtown and experience the various shops, restaurants, and you simply must try the coffee at the Vashon Island Roasterie. We stocked up on a few bags of beans before we left for ourselves and to share. Also, if you are visiting over a weekend, the farmer's market has many wonderful finds from dried spices to homemade candies to beautiful wood carvings and jewelry. We could not get enough of the island or the state. We absolutely loved our stay and would stay here again.
This is a lovely cottage, I very much enjoyed my visit. Elizabeth is great with communication and very pleasant to work with. This is less than 5 minutes from the Northwest School of Animal Massage and just a little further to town and the grocery store and restaurants. Only a couple of minutes to the ferry terminal on the north and about 20 minutes to the south ferry. I highly recommend Eagle Heights Cottage for your time on Vashon Island.
We were on Vashon Island for a wedding and stayed just one night. The house was clean and tidy for our stay. We didn't do any cooking while there but the kitchen seemed to have everything one would need. There were four of us: my husband, myself, and our two children (ages 9 and 7). The house is small but was just fine for the four of us and our needs. It would be fun to stay there again in the summer when the garden is growing. We would definitely stay there again.
I stayed here with two other friends while we attended a wedding on Vashon. The owner was very accommodating in letting us arrive a little early (we needed to change before the wedding). We didn't spend too much time here, but every thing was clean, tidy, and comfortable. We enjoyed picking blueberries and exploring the garden. The location is pretty near the ferry and is on the main road onto the island. The only slight (very slight) downside is that my friend mentioned that sleeping on the pullout couch was a little uncomfortable. On the plus side the bed was great and it was very pleasant sleeping with the windows open. In sum, it's probably a little better for just two people, but we would return.
My wife and kids (ages 5 and 7) stayed two nights. Daytime temp was low-to-mid 70s and the house was comfortable day and night. I think if temp was in the 80s it would have gotten stuffy because there isn't much ventilation. Hard to leave the doors open because of the numerous bumble bees (good ones!) and less numerous but nesting wasps. The garden is prodigious and appreciated but did need to be trimmed back a little because it was impossible to walk around in it (including from the gate to the front door) without pushing through growth - so, needed a bit of a haircut. Blueberries were delicious and great to have abundant fresh chicken eggs. Note that the house is situation immediately next to what I might call the sole island 'highway' so there is some road noise, though it didn't impact our sleeping (we ran fans at night for white noise and a little air flow). The location on the island is pretty good, about three minutes to 'downtown' by car. The kitchen is adequate and bathroom was well stocked. Locally made caramels and soap were really nice touches. I would stay here again if either the owner trims the abundant plant life or allows me to bring some small clippers and do it myself. Oh, and please inspect for wasp nests under the eave and eliminate those, too. :-)
Vashon is a unique Island located in the Puget Sound. With a strong arts community and a strong sustainable agriculture community, you will find many opportunities to participate in cultural activities while enjoying a peaceful, rural atmosphere. Vashon Island has a number of fine restaurants, art galleries, and local theater. There are a variety of opportunities to participate in arts activities throughout the year as well as a farmers market, fishing, hunting, horseback riding, hiking, and beach combing.

The Great Escape
... wall but there was a 15 foot drop on one side and an 8 foot drop onto the pavement the other side. Once up, Jayne was stuck...on all fours. A brief risk assessment took place and the conclusion was that this really wasn't a great idea. Plus Jayne was shouting "I'm not going over this wall !". We managed to get Jayne down and I said I'd go over and run down to the bus stop and get the bus to wait. It was an excellent panic. I told Jayne to go back and keep ...
... Once we'd turned round with the wind behind us the voyage became a bit more comfortable. The boat would surf the swell and that was fun. Eventually we came across a pod of Dolphins. Bottlenose variety (the same ones we get back in West Wales) we saw about 18 of them and they hung around for a bit but became bored with the boat ...
... There was a quiz going on and the winning team was ably assisted by Jayne & myself. They won hands down but didn't give us any credit for it or any of the Champagne that they won. Lesson learnt, knowledge is something best kept to yourself. We finished the night off with a couple of glasses of vino collapso on the balcony as the deluge had finally stopped. Tomorrow we were going to try and get out for some jolly japes on the high seas.

... The shame is this place was given planning permission as the rest of the area is pretty. The one saving grace is that really there's no blasting noise. So Paddy's is the exception.
There's a mix of Brits & other Europeans here and very few young ones. There's plenty of the sandal & socks brigade here. We speak to few of them and it turns out there's lots of retired Brit expats here. The place is very hilly and so we ...

Excellent shoe!
By Sophie
from Orillia, Ontario
For a thong style shoe, which can be uncomfortable, these are fantastic! The thong does not cut at all, and the base is quite cushioned. My second pair from this mfg. and I will be looking for more styles when available. I am a 7-7.5, (regular width) and the 7 have fit perfect everytime.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great buy
By Ladybug
from Stephenville, NL
I purchased this item for a trip down south. I wore the sandals with almost everything. I purchased the pewter, concerned it would be dark but it was not. It was more like silver which is what I was looking for. They are very light weight and extremely comfortable.

Good Bargain
By Cindy
from Vancouver
I bought a pair of sandals in black and wore them on a cruise. They were very comfortable to wear and they look nice. I noticed that walking on water on the deck they seem to have more grip than most flip flops, though I wouldn't recommend walking on water with any shoe as it can dangerous. I had no issues with sandals at all and I wore them every day, even had someone compliment me on them. They were a very good price with so I bought another pair in white.

Comfy fit.
By MARY
from NIAGARA ON THE LAKE
Yes I have 3 pairs of these sandals. Could not resist with this price. Great for travel. Very comfortable. All 3 fit great, my regular size 7 is what I bought. Thank you TSC for a great sale on a great pair of sandals.
smashing good
I wanted to try this brand, and they did not disappoint me. Looks great, and very comfy for a sandal. Feels a bit like walking on a cushion. I may just have to get another pair. I bought my regular size, 7.
By ANNA
from BURNABY, BC
I love Italian Shoemakers, but usually pay so much for them. I ordered these shoes in pewter. Love the colour! Not a silver and not quite a grey with a lovely sheen. Goes with everything from shorts to capris to a cute summer skirt. Extremely comfortable to wear, with a slight heel, so no foot fatigue. Bonus was I got it on sale.
Very Stylish Sandles!
By FARHEE
from SASKATOON, SK
I bought 1 in leopard for myself and silver for my daughter. Very good quality for a very affordable price. Highly recommend it to all the ladies looking for comfort and style in one sandle.

By Savvy shopper
from Alberta
I have every color in these sandals. I am a size 8, and they fit true to size. I find these sandals very comfortable, and very flattering on the foot. Ladies, at this price, you absolutely cannot lose!

By FLYING MACHINE
from ORANGEVILLE
These sandals look nice and are lightweight. I purchased in the black. The thong seems to be digging into my right foot and will wear them around the house for a couple of days to see if things improve., otherwise they will go back, regardless of the good price.

Toe thong sandal
By Linda
from Ottawa Ontario
Looks online but disappointed when they arrived. On one foot the thong is very painful and the knot digs into my foot. To uncomfortable to wear. They are going back.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Who We Are
Assistive Technology of Ohio is Ohio's A.T. Act Program.
Our Mission
AT Ohio's mission is to help Ohioans with disabilities learn about or acquire assistive technology. Assistive Technology refers to devices, equipment or services that assist individuals with disabilities to function independently in the areas of work, home or school. We offer several programs and services to achieve that goal. We also keep up with current legislative activity that affects persons with disabilities, and educate legislators about the needs and concerns of citizens with disabilities.
Assistive Technology of Ohio (AT Ohio) is a federally funded nonprofit organization that is part of the College of Engineering at The Ohio State University. AT Ohio is the officially designated Tech Act program for Ohio.
The federal agency of Health and Human Services, provides funding for all tech act programs. Each state and U.S. territory provide appropriate services under the guidelines of the Assistive Technology Act of 1998, as amended.
To learn more about assistive technology services and programs in other states, please visit the National Assistive Technology Technical Assistance Partnership, ( NATTAP) the national web site for state-designated Assistive Technology Programs.
How are we doing?
Give us your feedback -- user surveys
If you have participated in any of Assistive Technology of Ohio's programs, have borrowed a device from our lending library, or have borrowed a toy from any of the libraries participating in our Adaptive Toy Lending Program, or if you were a recipient of a refurbished computer from our Computer Refurbish program, we want your input! Please complete the appropriate user survey from the list below. Completion of a survey takes only a few minutes, and you will be helping us improve our programs. If you use assistive technology to access your computer, but cannot access our surveys, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com and we will gladly furnish you with an alternate format.

The death of former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher has been met with confusion by some Twitter users, thanks to the trending hashtag #nowthatchersdead.
The problem began when the website Is Thatcher Dead Yet? created the hashtag to help its users organise parties and share Spotify playlists in celebration of the death of the UK's first female Prime Minister.
But, as is an increasing theme on Twitter, confusion over exactly who had died spread thanks to the fact apostrophes and spaces cannot be used in a hashtag.
Instead of reading as 'Now Thatcher's Dead', many users misread the trend as 'Now That Cher's Dead'.
As a result a wave of tributes for the veteran pop star poured in and, as is the way of the internet, these tributes spawned more and more confusion as the original hashtag was dropped by others discussing the 'death' of Cher.
Twitter user @itzdavemedia posted "RIP Cher. At least we'll now find out about life after love #nowthatchersdead", while @breadquandaaaa simply tweeted: "RIP Cher oh my god".
Although @LedZeppJack had clearly heard about the death of the former Prime Minister, he still posted "Oh dear. #nowthatchersdead is trending. First Margaret Thatcher and now Cher. It's been one crazy day."
Meanwhile @sexyghosts posted the tribute: "RIP CHER. Just saw the hashtag. Never was a fan myself but you've gotta respect her influence".
The response led comedian Ricky Gervais to post a heavily retweeted tweet reading "Some people are in a frenzy over the hashtag #nowthatchersdead. It's "Now Thatcher's dead". Not, "Now that Cher's dead" Just Sayin'"
Once the confusion took hold, some mischievous Twitter users tried to escalate it further, spreading rumours that the 'thatcher' in the hashtag actually stood for Desperate Housewives and New Adventures of Superman star Terri Hatcher.
Hatcher, like Cher, remains very much alive however, and the #nowthatchersdead hashtag has now settled into a steady stream of people discussing the mix-up rather than falling for it.Reuse content

Demyx hated desert missions. He wasn't too fond of deserts, period - too hot for his liking, and way too dry. But that was one of the reasons he usually got picked for desert missions - he was immune to dehydration.
Well, he supposed it was nice of them to send him at night, with a lantern. Except now instead of being blistering hot, it was cold. And it was just his luck that the lantern battery seemed to be low. At least this square stone plaza that seemed to be the remains of some important building or another looked more or less like where he was supposed to be - the moon and the lantern didn't provide enough light between them to read his instructions, but he pulled them out of his pocket anyway, for one last quick attempted read. It couldn't hurt, at least.
Well, maybe it could. An errant gust of wind suddenly tore the notecard out of his hands and sent it under a rock. Grumbling under his breath, he set the lantern down next to the rock and reached under it in the hopes of retrieving the paper - he still needed that to carry out the rest of his mission. He wasn't a hundred percent sure he was where he was supposed to be yet, and he still didn't remember what he was supposed to be looking for.
Something suddenly stabbed into his hand. As he jerked it back, he saw something that looked like a small cobra wriggling deeper under the rocks.
He peeled his glove off, with difficulty, and noticed there were two neat, round holes in his skin. Sweat trickled down his face.
I don't want to die here. I want to see my friends again.
He tried to stay calm - one of the worst things to do after being bitten by a poisonous snake was panic, or so he'd heard. Maybe it hadn't been a cobra - cobras weren't supposed to come this far into the desert anyway - maybe it had been some other, nonpoisonous snake - Kingdom Hearts, his hand - he would never have believed two little holes could hurt so much - and his hand was starting to swell up like a balloon; no wonder he'd had trouble getting his glove off...his head was pounding all of a sudden...and he felt so dizzy...he leaned over and threw up into the scrubby bushes...then he just couldn't stand up anymore; his legs just gave way underneath him...too weak, too dizzy, too sick...didn't even feel like he was attached to his own body anymore...and his hand...hurt so much...
I'm going to die here. I'll never see my friends again.
His entire body went rigid, then started shaking violently; by then, he was in no position to notice. He'd lost consciousness as soon as the first part of the seizure hit. When it was over, he didn't come to several minutes later like he usually did; instead, he sank deeper and deeper, slipping further away from the realms of the living. As the venom worked its way through his system, his breathing grew slower and ever more labored, until a little over an hour after the bite, it stopped altogether.
For most people, that would have been the sad end to a short story. Most people didn't have gills.
Lungs need to expand and contract regularly to fill with fresh air to extract oxygen from. Gills just need a steady flow of water over their surface. And even at death's doorstep, there was something inside Demyx that refused to just give up and die.
Almost as soon as he stopped breathing, his mouth started to fill up with water. Moments later, it started to flow from the narrow slits in his sides that were hidden by his clothing. Soon, his entire body was covered with a thin sheet of water. By the time the sun rose, the trickles and rivulets coming from him had merged into a real stream, too large for the sun to evaporate, that was already collecting into a pool several feet downhill. The local fauna were quick to take advantage of this newfound watering hole, but its living source was showing no other signs of life.
"Has there been any sign of Demyx yet?"
Roxas shook his head, feeling every bit as anxious as Axel sounded. "Nothing. His Proof's still blue; that's all I can tell you. I saw Saix and Xemnas talking in the hallway on my way here from lunch; maybe they're finally going to go send someone to look for him."
Axel nodded wearily and took an unenthusiastic bite of the sandwich Roxas had brought for him before setting it down - he'd probably ignore the rest of it completely; when he was sick, he didn't have anything like the voracious appetite he had when he was healthy. "Wish to hell I could go. Wish to hell I could even get my ass out of bed." He sighed heavily and burrowed a little deeper under the covers. "Something feels really wrong about this. Like he's not just lost beyond all reason, or he can't find what he was sent to go get - I'm afraid something really bad happened to him."
Roxas sat down in Axel's desk chair, fighting the temptation to start chewing his nails. "Well, you always think of the worst-case scenario."
Axel sighed. "You're saying that just because you're thinking the same thing, right?"
"Yeah." Demyx should have come back the day before yesterday, but he hadn't even sent word that he was in trouble, or couldn't complete the mission on schedule, and definitely hadn't come back like he was supposed to...
"They should have sent someone to look for him yesterday," Axel muttered, taking another bite of the sandwich only because Roxas was glaring at him. "Wait, don't tell me, I need to eat or my blood sugar's gonna be all messed up."
"I've said it often enough; about time you started reminding yourself..." Roxas turned the volume down on the cheesy martial arts flick Axel had been watching with disinterest. "I don't want to think about the worst-case scenario anymore - what do you think is the best-case scenario?"
"For Demyx? Hmm..." Axel thought for a moment. "He's off in some beautiful tropical paradise making time with some beautiful princess who's single, intelligent, funny, sane, sweet, kind, thoughtful, generous, knows sign language, and is a fantastically gifted musician in her own right. Who doesn't mind that he's a Nobody. And whose parents don't mind either. And knowing Demyx's off-the-wall tastes, she's an adventurous eater. And an excellent swimmer. And thinks he's the hottest thing the worlds have ever known, would help too."
"...Yeah, I have to say, that's a better-case scenario than I think is likely to happen. Bet Demyx wishes it was the case, though."
"Better than what I think is really going on, which is that he's lying in the desert somewhere on the brink of death."
"Did you have to -"
Kingdom Hearts...my hand...my head...my whole body...
Demyx struggled back to the realms of the living very slowly, as the last of the poison worked itself out of his system. The first thing he noticed was how much his hand hurt, then how much he hurt in general. The last thing he remembered was getting tagged by a cobra, and assuming that meant that was it...
Add that to the long list of things I've lived through that should have killed me and didn't.
He was soaked to the bone, for some reason, but that wasn't a huge surprise. On the other hand, he was in the middle of a desert, so yes it was...Well, he couldn't dry up or dry out; that's why they tended to send him on desert missions in the first place. Apparently, his powers had gone into overdrive instead of conking out, which was probably what had saved his life. How long had he been lying there defenseless? It must have been a while...odd that no vultures or jackals had come after him...even odder that he seemed to be lying on top of a rare natural spring...he didn't remember any such springs when he'd arrived here...
What the hell was he doing in a tent?
He looked at his bitten hand - it looked like he'd held it in a fire for a good long while, burned and blistered all to hell with the skin peeling off. He shuddered, grateful it hadn't simply rotted and fallen off and sure it had been a distinct possibility. And it hurt like hell, so it didn't seem to be about to rot and fall off, as long as all its nerve endings were intact. Trying to move it was like trying to grab a cactus wrapped around with concertina wire, and he groaned involuntarily.
Someone heard him. A little girl, no more than five or six years old and wearing the garments of one of the local nomadic tribes, peered into the tent, her eyes widening as she saw him stir. He tried to sit up a little, but his muscles weren't willing to obey him just then. "Who are you?" he asked.
Apparently the girl didn't speak the same language. She tiptoed into the tent, hugged him tightly, then darted out, yelling all the way and leaving Demyx very confused.
Well...at least she's a nice kid...
As the tent flap waved with her passage, he both saw and sensed a fresh pool of water just outside, several feet deep and a hundred feet across. Now that, he knew damn well, hadn't been there when he'd arrived.
...The hell did that come from?...Did I do that?
He wished he could actually move, but the best he could do was roll onto his back away from the spring, cradling his injured hand. The little girl was shouting - people, grown men and women, were answering - then one old man said something in an authoritative voice that got the whole - camp? - to quiet down...and Demyx could do nothing but lie there, wondering what in Kingdom Hearts's name was going on. Soon, the tent flap opened again, and it looked like the entire tribe was there looking at him, with a wizened old man in front.
...Now what? "Um...hi..."
"Figured you'd be one of the ones they sent," Axel murmured weakly. Roxas just nodded. "I'd probably be goin' with you, if I wasn't feelin' so shitty...so who else is goin'?"
Roxas shrugged in confusion. "I didn't know anyone else was going. I kind of thought I was going by myself."
Axel shook his head. "Never send one guy alone on anythin' that might end up bein' a rescue mission. If somethin' got Demyx, alone, they don't want to give it a shot at gettin' anyone else, alone. Rescue teams are always two or more." He sighed and closed his eyes for a moment - he was having trouble staying awake for more than two hours at a time. "Wish I could go with you. I take heat pretty well."
Roxas checked the cold pack on his forehead - too warm already. They had to be changed a lot more often than the directions said. "Serves you right for getting sick just when Demyx fell off the face of the worlds. Hate to leave you to Vexen's tender mercies, but if Demyx is in serious trouble..."
"I know. Gotta save the nutcase. I know you'd do the same thing to him if he was sick and I was in trouble. Don't worry; I'll be fine." Someone knocked on Axel's door. "Either that's Vexen, lookin' for me, or whoever else is goin' to look for Demyx, lookin' for you."
"They can wait fifteen more seconds while I get a fresh cold pack. I swear, one of your fevers would kill an ordinary person."
"Good thing I'm so gosh-darn amazin' then..." In the ten seconds it took Roxas to portal down to the kitchen, put the melted cold pack back in the freezer, get a fresh one in exchange, and portal back to Axel's room, Axel had almost fallen asleep. He groaned as Roxas put the fresh one on his forehead. "I hate those damn cold things - are they really all that necessary?"
"If you don't want to be kept in the dungeon or kicked out of the castle altogether for starting fires..."
"Ugh. Had enough of that once. I'm not in a hurry to do that again."
"So, yeah -"
The knocking came again, more insistently. Roxas opened the door to reveal Zexion, wearing loose, light-colored clothing and glaring at him like he was the source of everything that ever went wrong with missions. "Thirteen, I was going to ask if you were ready to go yet, but as you're not even dressed, let alone packed..."
"I am packed. I packed first. I'm just not dressed yet..." Roxas hastily teleported down to his own room and changed into a similar outfit - loose, lightweight clothing that offered protection against the sun to skin that wasn't used to sunlight and was still cool enough to be halfway tolerable. Picking up his backpack and full canteen, he returned to Axel's room pretty sure there wasn't anything else for Zexion to complain about. Zexion was apparently searching hard anyway, but Roxas's main concern was that Axel had gone to sleep while he was out. "Hey, doofus...what happened to staying awake long enough to see me off?"
Axel groaned and rubbed his eyes. "Sorry about that...if you gotta go now, good luck..." His eyes sharpened, and he suddenly seemed twice as alert as he'd been for the past two days. "You will come back all right, and you will bring Demyx with you. Commit that to memory."
"Come back, bring Demyx. I'll remember that."
As it turned out, it was pretty damn difficult to track scent over the desert. Shifting sands and constant winds erased scent trails within hours, and Zexion was supposed to be tracking a days-old scent. "I told the Superior he should have sent someone immediately," Zexion grumbled.
Roxas couldn't help but agree. After three days of searching, traveling from dusk to dawn and resting while it was too hot to do anything constructive, the two of them had accomplished exactly nothing. They'd found the approximate location of the ruins Demyx was supposed to have been searching, but there were dozens of candidates for the exact location - it must have been a city once upon a time, and the directions Luxord had somehow procured from one of his hundreds of variably reliable sources had been rather vague. Maybe they should have sent Luxord in the first place. It would serve him right for trusting the first drunk he met in Cairo with an authentic-looking treasure map that he was willing to part with for the price of a good binge. Reliable people just didn't use alcohol as currency. However often Luxord's magic touch with the thoroughly unreliable had come up golden, this time it looked like it had gotten Demyx killed, or at least in serious trouble.
Luxord and his damn treasure maps. The next one he brings back from some shithole tavern or bar in the back end of nowhere, I'll see if I can get Axel to burn. And the next time the Superior thinks they're worth following, he should make Luxord do the following.
"Thirteen, do you remember the oasis we passed last night?"
Roxas's train of thought was suddenly derailed. "Yeah...I do...I thought you said we couldn't stop at it until the tribe that was camped there packed up and moved on..." A shame, too; their water supplies were getting low.
Zexion was staring off into the distance, even though he couldn't see past the tent material rigged over the entrance to the one room in the ruined city that had yet to collapse in on itself. "Do you remember anything...unusual about it? Especially about the vegetation?"
Roxas shrugged - only Zexion would care about details like that. Or maybe Marluxia. "I don't remember there being a whole lot of vegetation, just a bunch of those scrubby bushes. It's a desert."
That distracted stare never wavered. "One would expect, at an established oasis, to see trees, date palms...or at least some sort of water plants...even rushes or papyrus...but there was nothing of the kind, only the bushes..."
Roxas wasn't sure where all this was leading. "Okay...so what does that mean?"
"That oasis has only been there for a matter of days. Weeks at the most, though I doubt it was even that long. And wherever it came from, it appeared suddenly."
...Apparently the heat was starting to get to Zexion. "Where would you get all that water at once? We're in the middle of a desert."
Zexion raised an eyebrow. "Think for a moment, Thirteen...in the middle of a desert, where could all that water come from?"
"...A storm?" Roxas hazarded. Sudden torrential storms were known to happen in deserts, which is why they'd avoided the dry riverbeds for camping.
"And where would a storm come from?"
Now Roxas was starting to see the point. "Demyx. He wouldn't even have to call a storm, he could just produce all that water at once. But why? He wouldn't need all that water just for himself..."
Zexion shrugged. "The local nomads are opportunists, by nature and necessity. Anything they find and can make use of, they will take advantage of, or risk death by not doing so...including taking slaves and captives when the opportunity presents itself, to sell at profit or to spare their own labor."
A chill traveled up Roxas's spine, despite the heat outside. "You think that's where Demyx is? With that tribe?" As a slave? he wanted to add but didn't.
"It's a strong possibility." Zexion answered the questions Roxas had asked and the one he couldn't bring himself to say out loud. "The sun sets in two hours. Even if the tribe has moved on by then, three dozen people traveling together with herd animals will move much slower and be far easier to track than one alone." He glanced over at Roxas. "It would not be in the tribe's best interest to be cruel to slaves. Well-treated slaves are harder workers and less likely to run away or cause trouble, and they would know that."
Zexion didn't refer to Demyx by name - or by number, since he almost never referred to anyone by name - but Roxas still understood what he was trying to say. Knowing that Demyx wouldn't be beaten or starved even if he had been enslaved was the only thing that enabled him to wait those two hours.
They definitely have guards, Roxas signed. He was grateful for the moonlight - he and Zexion didn't have to speak to communicate, when speech might have been overheard.
Zexion nodded. I expected as much. Jackals and hyenas are frequently active at night, and the goat herds make easy prey.
Where do you think he is?
Zexion shrugged, then crept towards the far end of the wall, motioning for Roxas to follow. Emerging on the other end of the wall from where they were, they'd be in its shadow as long as possible. They were hoping to get as far as they could on stealth alone before resorting to Zexion's illusions, but they'd only made it halfway down the length of the wall when a cry went up from the camp. Instantly, Roxas and Zexion were hidden from view, even their own, by an illusion.
A bone speartip gleamed for an instant as it flew through the night air. A second later, Zexion screamed and flickered back into view, with the throwing spear buried in his shoulder. Roxas hit the ground next to him, in case there were any other spears pointed in their direction. "Leave it," Zexion hissed as he tugged at the spear. "Clearly they're not...easily fooled by illusion..."
"Will you be all right?" Damn you, Luxord; damn you, damn your treasure maps, and damn all the sots and boozers who sell them to you for beer money...
"Doesn't seem fatal...I hope it wasn't poisoned..." Roxas nodded, but couldn't do much else; the two of them were suddenly surrounded by a ring of spears, clubs, and knives. The two of them were forcefully led to the middle of the camp - well, Roxas was led; Zexion was half-led, half-carried. If the tribe intended to make slaves out of them too, it wouldn't do to injure Zexion any worse than he already was.
"I guess it's as good a way as any to find out if Demyx is here; now if only we could rescue ourselves," Roxas muttered, before a sharp jab from behind encouraged him to keep his mouth shut. It suddenly struck him - if he and Zexion also disappeared without warning, they wouldn't send three people after them, figuring two was at least one too few...nothing would be left to chance the second time; the entire Organization would come after them...the camp would probably be wiped out...it wasn't like Roxas's sympathies were with their captors at the moment, but he could see sleepy-eyed children being led out of tents by their mothers to see them...and if they went through all that and found out Demyx wasn't here to begin with...
"Stop!" The totally incongruous word of English was followed by a torrent of what was presumably the tribe's native language. Roxas didn't pay a whole lot of attention; his focus was all on the source.
His clothing was largely unfamiliar; he was dressed half like a tribesman, though still in his old boots, but wearing more gold, silver, and pretty stones than all the women in the camp put together. And he didn't seem to be doing all that well; his face was pale and drawn, he was leaning heavily on a staff, and one hand was bandaged so that only the tips of his fingers were visible. But none of that was important.
"Demyx, I hope you have a really good story..."
"If you weren't here to see it, I don't think you'd believe it..." Demyx went back to the tribal language, presumably giving orders, and two women with veiled faces led Zexion into one of the larger tents. "They'll take care of him. That, or face my wrath," he added with faint humor.
Roxas was having trouble wrapping his head around what was going on. The way he knew it, Demyx's wrath was something less than formidable. "So what happened? They found you out in the desert and decided to make you their chief, and you'll order them staked out for the lions if they don't take good care of Zexion?"
"Even better than that..."
"How are we supposed to eat this?" Roxas asked warily. "What is it, even?" The three of them were gathered in the little tent by the water's edge - apparently that was Demyx's temporary residence. Someone had brought food for them on thin, flat stones - yellow stuff, white stuff, some sort of roast meat, and round disks of some thin flatbread, almost like tortillas, but thicker.
"I've had better things to do than ask. I assume the white stuff is goat's-milk yogurt, or at least it tastes like yogurt and there aren't any cows around, and the yellow stuff is some sort of mashed bean...I've been eating it by scooping it up with the flatbread. Not sure what the meat is."
Zexion picked it up with his good hand - carefully, as it was still hot - and sniffed at it. "Gazelle, I believe...presumably they stopped here for the hunting rather than the grazing. Your brand-new oasis doesn't have much in the way of vegetation yet."
Demyx rolled his eyes. "Only you could tell cooked gazelle from cooked goat just by smelling it when I don't think you've ever had either before." He'd had practice using the flatbread as an eating utensil one-handed. He was better at it than Roxas, who was the only one who still had full use of both arms.
Zexion hadn't had any such practice, and eventually resorted to eating with his fingers, which obviously wasn't his favorite method. "They must think highly of you indeed, if they're willing to risk a night hunt just to bring you and your friends fresh meat on demand..."
Demyx shrugged and smiled. "They think I'm a god."
Roxas just about dropped his plate. "..." It took him a good five seconds to say anything coherent. "You know, the usual excuse is 'they made me their chief', not 'they made me their god'. How'd you rate divine status?"
Demyx shrugged, and his pale face colored slightly. "First I died, then all this water flowed out of my dead body, then this natural spring appeared where there'd never been one before, then I came back to life. At least that's how they interpreted it. And, hell, I wasn't in any shape to argue. Though I have no explanation at all for the natural spring - I know it wasn't here before. Woke up right on top of it, so I got them to move the tent a few feet away." He looked down at his bandaged hand before continuing, pausing every so often for a bite. "My first night here, I got bit by a cobra. You don't really want to know what my hand looks like under the bandages - I'm surprised it's still attached. Hell, I'm surprised I survived at all. I must have been out of it for a while - when I came around, I was soaking wet, which wasn't all that surprising, considering, and I was in a tent, which I knew was a new development. Apparently the tribe had wandered by while I was out, saw this new oasis, stopped for a while, found me, checked for a pulse, didn't find one, decided I was dead, realized I was the source of all this water, decided I must have been a god, and set up a tent-shrine around me. When I 'came back to life' later, they were even more sure of it." He rolled his eyes. "I don't think I could have talked them out of it if I'd had the strength. Don't ever let a cobra bite you; it's more trouble than the bragging rights are worth. They've been keeping me in what passes for luxury out here ever since, and I've tried to be a benevolent deity...right up until they brought you two in. I just about flipped, especially when I saw Zexion was hurt." His face clouded briefly. "If you want specifics, I threatened that if they didn't release you two immediately and get him looked after, I'd dry up the oasis and make sure they never found water again."
Roxas nodded; he could see what a threat that would be in the desert - and also how revered someone who could produce unlimited amounts of water at will would be. "Only you, I think. Don't think they'd have done the same for any of the rest of us. Though if I had the opportunity, I'd throw Luxord out here to try his luck."
Zexion nodded, rolling a piece of flatbread around a slice of meat and eating it like a taco - it was about the only way he could manage it neatly. "Hopefully the Superior is going to set a little less store by his supposed treasure maps from now on. It's only sheer chance that none of us have died trying to follow one of them."
"I don't know why the Superior ever took them seriously in the first place...losing my damned instructions based on that map was how I got bitten by a cobra; they blew away and went under a rock, and there was a cobra down there too..." Demyx stared meditatively into the middle distance. "It's late...you two wanna just spend the night and go back in the morning, or am I needed back urgently? I assume you two were sent here to find me."
"Find you, or find what happened to you...Axel specifically ordered me to come back safe and bring you with me."
Demyx sighed, almost wistfully. "So I guess that means we should go home as soon as possible?"
"I would just as soon spend as few nights in the desert as possible. And I have little faith in tribal medicine, personally."
Demyx nodded reluctantly and reached for his walking stick. "So I guess that means I should say my farewells and return to wherever their gods are supposed to live...if you two are done eating, you should probably come out too, just for effect. I'm probably going to explain that you two are divine messengers under orders to bring me home." Roxas nodded; roast gazelle and mashed beans weren't his favorite foods in the worlds, he'd decided. Demyx smiled, a little self-mockingly. "All that trouble you went through on my behalf, and there's no heroic rescue or worlds-shattering secret revealed or other great reward at the end; all you get is little old me."
Roxas laughed. Right then, he didn't feel up to any heroic rescue or world-shattering secrets. "Hey, at least you got a few new scars and a heck of a story..."
AN: I started this, and then I just...couldn't...stop...
Like "Nobody Died", this was inspired by a dream, but it didn't really follow the dream's plotline too well. Originally, Axel and Roxas were captured and enslaved, and Demyx went searching for them and was hailed as a god when his powers over water were revealed (Axel and Roxas didn't impress the tribe so much, because there's light and fire all over the damn place).
Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts, got it memorized? Tomorrow I'll go back to working on "Aftermath" and "New Neighbors".

Potato Gnocchi Using Cake Flour
|Kosher salt
|To Taste
|Medium yukon gold potato
|2 Pound
|All purpose flour
|2⁄3 Cup (10.67 tbs)
|Cake flour
|1⁄3 Cup (5.33 tbs)
|Extra virgin olive oil
|1 Teaspoon
1. Preheat the oven to 400°. Spread a 1-inch layer of salt in a small roasting pan. Prick the potatoes all over with a fork and arrange them on the salt in a single layer. Bake until fork-tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove them from the oven and slit them lengthwise to release their steam.
2. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with paper towels. As soon as the potatoes are cool enough to handle, scoop their flesh into a ricer or tamis and rice the potatoes onto the paper towels in a shallow layer. Let cool completely.
3. Working over a medium bowl, sift the all-purpose and cake flours with a large pinch of salt. Measure out 4 lightly packed cups of the riced potatoes (1 pound), and transfer the potatoes to a work surface. Sprinkle the sifted flour mixture over the potatoes and drizzle with the olive oil. Gently form the dough into a firm ball.
4. Test the gnocchi dough: Bring a small saucepan of salted water to a boil. Using your hands, form one 3/4-inch round (a single gnocco). Boil the gnocco until it floats to the surface, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the gnocco to a plate and let cool. It should be light and tender but still hold together. If the gnocco breaks apart in the boiling water, the dough has too little flour; add more. If the gnocco is tough and chewy, the dough has too much flour; cut in a little more of the reserved riced potatoes.
5. Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Divide the dough into quarters. Working with 1 piece at a time, gently roll the dough into a long rope about 1/2 inches wide. Using a sharp knife, cut the rope into 1/2-inch pieces. Roll each piece against the tines of a fork to make light ridges. Transfer the gnocchi to the towel-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough. Let the gnocchi stand at room temperature for 1 hour to dry.
6. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with ice water. Add half of the gnocchi at a time and boil over high heat until they rise to the surface, then cook for 15 seconds longer. Using a wire skimmer, transfer the gnocchi to the bowl of ice water. Drain on paper towels and pat dry. Toss with oil and refrigerate for up to 3 hours, or freeze the gnocchi on baking sheets in a single layer. Transfer them to an airtight container or re-sealable plastic bags and freeze for up to 6 weeks. To serve, sauté them in butter until heated through before proceeding.

Vented Loop Design?
While trying to route my new transducer cable, I encountered the vented loop from the heat exchanger before it enters the waterlift muffler. I had a choice, undo the two 3/4" hoses, or undo the one ¼" hose.
I decided that rather than messing with two hose clamps, one would be easier - that was a mistake. After I removed the clamp, I could not get the hose to let go of the barb. A little more pressure, and snap, off came the hose with the barb still inside:mad:.
So off to WM to get a new one. No joy at the closest WM, so 55 min drive in the other direction where they had 5 in stock. The new vented loop is one with the duckbill valve, and the old one had a barb with a hose.
The original looked more, or less, like this (except it was old - 1987 black plastic);
Here is a pic of the new one;
Because the loop is mounted HORIZONTALLY (not vertically) under the cockpit floor, I was unsure if this new fangled style would work. Fortunately, I found a brass barb fitting that fit, so I bought that too.
I put a little pipe dope on the threads, installed the brass barb, and installed the new vented loop in the old location - after correctly routing the transducer cable.:)
So, the question for the collective; would the new-fangled style have worked?
Re: Vented Loop Design?
They are comparable but should be mounted vertically.
Re: Vented Loop Design?
...and that's why I removed the duckbill and modified it to match the original design. I can see where the vent tube eventually goes vertical, and it has worked this way since 1987. There is no way that the duckbill could be mounted vertically unless I change a bunch of 3/4" exhaust hose.
I guess that I made the right decision.
Re: Vented Loop Design?
The duck bill is just a check valve. It's orientation isn't important; only the direction of flow (and that it's kept clean so that it doesn't stick shut). If the loop is the highest point on the line, and above the heeled waterline, the vacuum isn't going to know whether the plumbing is laying on its side or upright. If the hose starts to siphon seawater into the engine, the valve will break the vacuum.
If you aren't confident in the duckbill, or you won't be able to access it to check it every now and then, you can just get a 1/4" barb with a female threaded end that fits where the cap threads on, and put the 1/4" hose back on. I assume it exits through the cockpit coaming or someplace. Then you can leave the duckbill out.
Re: Vented Loop Design?
That confirms what I believed, and did.
The issue for me is that I believe that the duckbill is designed to be installed at the absolute peak of the loop when the vented loop is vertical. Turning the vented loop on it's side effectively moves the duckbill to a point slightly less (1 or 2 mm) than the peak, because of the difference in the circumferences of the vent and the loop. My thought is that this may have prevented the vent from opening when it should.
Re: Vented Loop Design?
For engine vacuum breakers I prefer the ones made by the Scot Pump Co. as I find they are far more trouble free than a duck bill....
You can buy just the vacuum breaker:
Or the whole thing:
I tend to just make custom ones:
This was Ericson's idea for a siphon break and it sprayed salt water all over the engine when the brazed copper tube failed. It was also mounted under the cockpit:
A few dollars and 30 minutes later a new one that is significantly more robust replaced it.

Re: Vented Loop Design?
Recall that the siphon break works because it takes less force to suck air through it than it does to lift a hose full of water out of the sea. I can't see how moving it a half a hose diameter below the peak of the hose ID is going to make drawing air harder then lifting all that water.
Re: Vented Loop Design?
Maine sail: How do those vented loops do with the head? Any smell? I'm just cautious because my head hoses are exposed inside the main cabin, nothing I can do about that. I have no vented loops but would like to add them for safety and those look great.
Re: Vented Loop Design?
Dont recommend marelon vented loops in the exhaust water, should be metal. Exception is Vetus makes an exhaust quality plastic/grp one.

After my father died, he was the only person who tried to help me. I was not mature enough to realize it then, I do now. He had tried to find me for fifteen years to give me half of my dad's IRA. he never sent me a bill! Because my father only wanted my brother and I to be fair to each other, he tried to work with us. When he saw we weren't, he removed himself. My father, Marvin Feuer always admired him and I can see why. My father's so called friends turned their backs on us.
