(Author Note: Thank you so much guys for the feedback! I made yet another edit/look over to my first chapter. Hopefully it reads a lot better ^^ Happy reading!)
Chapter One: Solid Brigade
The euphony of a crimson nightfall; tainted, but blissful in all its carnal splendor. She sang muffled notes through his ears-her voice, a lovely soprano, flickered his very soul into a ravenous frenzy. Her skin, dressed in a veil of sleek red, glistened under the moonlight. And she'd dance, oh she danced, and danced so vigorously; sashaying side to side, jolting up and down so aggressively that one might think she's trying to break her frail virgin body in twain.
"Why do you fight?" His cynical words burrowed deep within her, quelling her screams in exchange for a frightened look. He stared at her tearing blood-shot eyes as she hung upside down. The damsel was suspended, roped to a metal shaft bolted to the wooden floor. He leaned in, his porcelain lips perched on her engorged cheeks. Her breaths shallowed as he flashed his blood-tinted fangs tauntingly. The trembling, the irrepressible trembling of her torn flesh only fueled his malice…
What an appetite…one like no other—he gazed down into her popping eyeballs, feeding from her every last remnant of despair. His hot breath poured over her face mixed with sweat, blood, and a dash of innocence. And almost instantly, her naked body jerked once more-the silence between them shattered with a gargling plea for mercy. There was no better feeling to cater to. "At this rate, my dear, you should be begging for death..." He fixed himself erect as he rolled up the sleeves of his black evening shirt and drew away from her, facing the innards of his bedroom chamber. There stood a transverse presence of evil masked by a debonair demeanor; long raven black hair framing his diamond shaped face, and eyes of soft amber hedged with gold. No wonder this mysterious gent curled her interests.
"The curiosity of one very lost…" He stifled, the smell almost too intoxicating to withdraw from. But she was near death; he could feel her essence fading. "Hmm, well we all have our weaknesses, don't we? You, with the lust of a teenage girl, and I, with a vital need to feed on human flesh. Well…a weakness much welcomed. But you see, I also seek vengeance. She birthed me, and killed me. I must take her life for such a dire mistake on her part. Because of her so-called motherly love, I am now what you see here before you—damned, a mere shadow of a soul. Don't get me wrong, there is pleasure to be had in this lifestyle; my only trouble is that this wasn't my decision..." The goth-like chamber was rendered a pungent omen, cradling in its bosom the near taste of decay. He stood before her, stare drawing downward to her dangling head. He pressed his fore against her person, mercy calling to him insistently, "I will give you the choice I was never given…"
Warm lush tunes of a sunny day danced along the grove. It was paradise, or what this town would call such a moment. He missed this throughout the years; peace—a glimmer of unity between nature and its inhabitants. He could hear children scurrying down the green, the echo of dogs barking from beyond the entry arches. Above him a mesh of oranges, browns, and burgundy shaded him from the basking rays. A mellow grin broke between his cheeks as the vapor from his lit keshuess bud rolled down his nostrils—exhale toxic torment, inhale toxic bliss. He needed to lose himself in the rise, and he did. But, unfortunately he could still see that familiar silhouette approaching him through his stone-red eyes. Craning his head to his shoulder, he heard stomping steps closing into his flushed, droopy persona. Was he hallucinating? He had hoped he was…
Click—black polished low pumps stopped firmly between his sitting legs. She twisted her face in grimace, a short elfin girl glaring at him as he rolled his eyes. Routine, he thought, how could he break this routine of hers? Maybe it would be worth it to ship her to another district when her summer break kicks in…or perhaps, boarding school? He chuckled inwardly, witness to a blushed face ready to erupt.
"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" She predictably exclaimed in her crimson tartan school attire. Her arms enveloped themselves as she leaned into his tiring face.
"Ugh, Syreene, one day…just one day without you feeding me this bullshit lecture…" He puffed as he rolled up the sleeves of his grey hooded sweatshirt.
"Well maybe if you weren't always bumming around, getting high as mounts, sulking in your own pitiful, depressing excuse for a life, I wouldn't have to hear myself-"
"Degrade me every chance you get? Hmph, well, that would be nice." he interjected with a softened baritone voice as he erected himself, his shadow towering over the heated miss. "Listen sis, I'm off right now, so how about you do me a solid and let big brother here take a break, mkay?" An air of arrogance, that should fix her fancy, he thought, as the cool breeze slapped his tussled black hair and rattled those small loop earrings of his. Why not top it off with a taunting pat on her shoulder? He could already feel her blood boiling.
In an instant, she darted, fixing her piercing snake eyes at him with her snap finger prompt, "NOW YOU LISTEN! I am not going to stand for your bitter, I hate my life attitude anymore, got that?! I am your sister! And I am the one who needs to take care of you and make sure you are safe, or at least mentally healthy! Give me that!" A quick snatch at his lips and the bud was suddenly ash underneath her shoe. "No more of that kesh! It's slowly eating at your brain!"
"Well, excuse me, countess, but the last time I checked, I was the older sibling. And," he boorishly shrugged, "that means those little elf ears of yours gotta' listen to these lips."
"Oh, is that so?" She tweeted, giving him her back and a rather perplexed sly cocked look. "Well, if that's the case, then I guess I have no choice but to go back to our old city. I can live on my own."
Her contumacious behavior was nothing foreign to him, but even his adamant heart couldn't overpower the love he has for his dearest sister. He would fall for this gesture of hers every time. "Ugh, come on Sy, stop acting so childish."
She turned to him, her caramel complexion a compliment to the autumn scenery, "You know I worry about you, right? I just want you to be safe." A smile finally found its way between her cheeks, and with it she coaxed, "Don't forget you have an appointment with Father Benoventeg in Dovve. He can really counsel you, Cabil."
He noticed her gold eyes suddenly focused down to his bottom pocket, and he'd answer the muffled ringing, "Hargann." Firmly, "I am in Dyonegar. I'll be there."
"W-what's wrong?" She asked.
"Cappehas. At least six of them sited in Amervaul by Bevoin Square."
"Cappehas? Those demons haven't been anywhere near Dyonegar for years, and out…in broad daylight?"
"Well, they are tunneling their way in from somewhere." He locked his eyes sternly to his sibling. "Stay in the apartment. Find something to mask your scent. Keep the shades down, lights out. Got that?"
Syreene nodded before Cabil flame blasted out of the park and into the cerulean sky. The smell of burning grass piloted her other senses, awakening the never-ending fear of being mere playthings for the damned. She wanted to become a weapon, like her brother—fight in the militia for peace, protection, and victory against those blood thirsty ravenous beings. And as she gazed at the flashing spark of heat and energy roaring like a blazing aura beneath his feet, she began to wonder if she could ever reach his level of pyrokenetic prowess. "Be careful, Cabil."
Massacre—an indigenous fleet of the undead. The blood oozing down her leg traced their path and beckoned her stagger to move with haste. Before her, among the trash and debris down the alleyway, the silhouette of her young daughter and a beaming light of further chaos. Sweat, she could feel her grip slipping away from the little girl's hand as frightened innocent eyes looked back to her, "Come on Mom, run faster!" Defeat cried out from her grim, exhausted face, but she must push through for her beloved child. Her tired feet mustered up strength, and all she could hear was her endless panting, struggling for air through her drying throat. The murmur of death ricocheted against the narrowing aisle-its rancid, skeletal demonic form hunting them down mercilessly. She dared not glance behind her; the horror of witnessing the closing gap between them too baleful to bare.
Its gargling grew louder and louder, the air, suffocating.
She tripped, blood rushing through her veins like wild fire. Her body slammed against the pavement, her head bouncing beneath black disheveled tresses. The clammy grip of its long slender fingers around her ankle peeled her eyes wide open. Her body laid mortified, paralyzed by the demon towering over her trembling body. In one swift motion, it clenched her neck, the other hand savagely twisting at her leg. She clutched its tightening fingers around her throat, screaming, "RUN MYA!" The raspy distraught holler angered the grey flesh eater, squeezing out her very essence as it snapped her head right off her shoulders. Chords of crimson dangled over its open fanged mouth, savoring the nectar dripping from the decapitated head.
Dread dropped Mya's numb knees against the floor. She witnessed the feast upon her own mother's flesh, watching as its split blackened tongue coiled around her eye sockets
The juices teemed down grinning fangs as the beast gulped and moaned in satisfaction. Its gold serpent-like eyes rolled back in delight, a hollow grunt echoing the alleyway as if to call the pack to the dinner table. But it was selfish.
Releasing its long fingers around her drenched hair, it stood erect. With one hungry stare at the girl, a standstill, then it bolted on all fours. Her mother's lifeless body on the ground triggered a tardy response before she would resume the chase.
Surrender—clashes of ill thoughts bombarded her recklessly. There was no escaping what's to come; her legs were moving, but she wasn't going anywhere. In this very moment, a wash of serenity quieted her mind, and all she could focus on was the light before her. There, Bevoin Square…or maybe, mother? Yes, to be with her eternally would be better than a life without her. Don't fight it, let what will be, be…
A calm resonance of victory and defeat; she welcomed death wholeheartedly, before she noticed a figure foreground. In one quivering breath, her feet lifted, her body swinging in a half circle, almost like a ballet—and in brave elegant grace, an aura of heat magnified around her dangling person. She gasped, hearing the voice to shatter her fright into fragments.
A burst of red engulfed the alleyway before her, the hot flames dancing like a light show in her watery orbs swollen with both relief and despair. She finally looked up to her savior as demon ashes flurried around them. Tears rolled down her reddened cheeks, "Cabil…" she sobbed as he gently released her, but the girl quickly found herself against him once more with a thankful embrace around his thigh. "He, he killed mommy…"
Surrounded by the erosion of humanity, he sought refuge for her down the square. She held on tight, arms around his neck as she hitched a ride to Bevoin Public Library. Cabil found himself rescued, his comrade skillfully defending all angles as he blocked the direct blow against him.
Clank- the sharp noise of a grazing metal blade against claw echoed in his ears as his knee dropped to the concrete step.
"Aye, are ya' just gonna' stand there or bring her in?" The armored fur-crowned hunter questioned his comrade with a sneer. He veered to his famished scaly opponent drooling on his combat boots. "Hey, keep your foul fluids to yourself, demon!" A quick death sentence- a bilateral cleave with his elbow blades showered the steps in red. "Can't have one of Aegelleon's finest slaughtered." He jested.
Cabil shook his head, "You flatter me, Brenius." He escorted the girl to the front door, and upon sliding a key card to the reader, a confirming beep allowed them both passage to the foyer. Before he could step into the vicinity, a candid elder citizen guarded the agar of the door. "Your name, young sir?" He interrogated with a raspy undertone.
Cabil sharpened his gaze at him furrow browed, surveying his fragile contour and burlesque attire. "Cabil Hargann, of the Aegelleon forces." He gently aided in her dismount, erecting himself over the short balding man.
"Hargann?" He questioned, adjusting his bold-framed specs over his pale wrinkled concave eyes, seeing a man dressed to fight. "My, I almost didn't recognize you." He smiled, "You can never be too careful with these demons. They take all forms." His eyes fell upon the little girl, "Oh, you are quite lucky." He tilted his head up to Cabil, "She's in good hands."
As the two vanished inside the womb of salvation, Cabil snap studied the adjacent residential building's rooftop. A shadow, a casting shadow…so quick to disburse that he may have just been seeing things? Fist tightening, he slipped a soft grunt under his breath before Brenius' exuberant tremor rocked his troubled persona. "Cabe, we need your fire in the battlefield." He approached, offering him his weapons.
"You know I'm a hands-on type of guy." He rejected.
"These bad boys were actually custom made by Wiver Shop; given to me as a token of my great customer service, but I rather stick with my halberd." Cabil's involuntary opened hand grabbed the grip most sternly as he scowled impishly at Brenius. "They say these things somehow unlock your inner power as you wield them. Come on," he buoyantly hustled down the steps and into the battlefield. "let's hurry up and clean this mess before sun fall."
There was a lack of understanding; something Cabil couldn't comprehend, but appreciated. Underneath the raven-black wolf hide beats the heart of a fighter who lived life to the fullest, disallowing the reoccurring onslaught of mankind to pull down on his spirit. Brenius was truly unique, a warrior of optimism. As Cabil confidently stood in survey upon the steps, he drew his newly gifted blades and engulfed the pungent taste of the wild austere affair.
He bolted, utilizing the blades as an extension of his combustions. As he sliced through the demonic masses, a foreign entity surged through his veins. Quicker his movements became, as if he was rippling through thin air while the ocular oxygen ducts mounted on his back whistled hot steam. A light flickered in his eyes in an instant—he grunted, gritting his teeth in rage, in malice as he showered himself in blood. Slash after slash the blows deepened, snuffing out every last drop of revulsion dripping out of their callus revolting bodies. An amorphous abhorrence doused his path and crippled the walls of pain encompassing him, weakening his spirit, but fueling his strength.
How much longer should I fight to protect her?
The shadows of his distraught hysteria cloaked his vision. His swinging arms maliciously fell between her eyes as the whizzing sound of his blades brought her to an abrupt halt. She gasped, her peering stunned gaze finding passion in his chestnut eyes. Hanging mere inches above her upturned nose, he felt her breath bathe his blades as his own cascaded heavily upon her. Sweat, blood, the stench of madness—bewildered, he felt the back of her hand grazing his cheek as the other clasped his grip, "Cabil…" The look of concern churned her face, and Cabil answered to it unconcernedly, withdrawing from what could have been a friendly fire. "Hey! Cabil, are you ok?" The bob-haired blond called out to him as he exited, leaving behind him a trail of corpses.
"Ah, let him be, Kam." Brenius capped her shoulder with a sigh.
"Let him be? He almost sliced me open!" She scoffed, disengaging her dual rapid fire pistols before tailing him. "An apology would have been nice, or was that your way of flirting with me?" She teased, folded arms behind her head. "Come on, Cabil. Stop being such a closed book. You have to let someone in eventually. Why don't you talk to me?"
He sighed indefinitely, "I'm going home."
Banished from his own home, exiled into the abyss of the divine order—Syreene made it clear her dear brother wouldn't be welcomed for dinner until he satisfied the appointment she made with a rather dignitary priest of Dovve. There Cabil stood hands in his pockets, dressed casual before the glorious goth-like exostructure. Its façade shone a soft beige as the warm sunset cascaded upon the horizon. Spade tipped spires crowned the ancient edifice, pointed arches, glossy colorful mirrors trimming stone; it was all so foreign to him, yet, beautiful.
A soft chime echoed in his ears, calling to him, beckoning a glance to the woman sitting on a bench adjacent. He choked, a swarm of butterflies sashaying in his stomach. Her long brunette tresses fell upon her shoulder elegantly in a single loose ponytail—an earthly, motherly aura roamed her compass as she mended nylon ties to a mounting bar. So graceful her posture, dressed in a cornflower blue frilly gown to compliment her radiant copper eyes. His fix to her was overwhelmed with bewildered emotion- she broke the odd air between them with a wave and smile. He closed his parted lips, regaining composure, and answered with a mirroring gesture. As he veered back and entered the nave, he clasped a palm over his head, shutting his eyes only briefly to erase a familiar face from his memories before absorbing the magnificent organs of the temple.
The depth floating down the dark mosaic floor resonated a calm monastic chant; between the stone pillars, the polished mahogany pews, and against the translucent curvilinear windows of Khorgathe's goddess sisters it wafted. The contour wore a variegation of oranges and violets, and as he continued to survey across the motif radial design above him, his eyes fell to the sunlight-inviting apse. Vibrant, transparent hues of cool blues teemed onto the altar. And there, sweeping the chancel, a man garbed in a crimson tassel-topped ivory robe humming a tune.
Cabil noticed the priest was engrossed, but he became more apparent as he leisurely approached him. "Evening, may I help you?" He questioned as he brought his sweeping to a pause, pushing the bridge of his rectangular framed glasses over his snub pointed nose.
"Cabil. I'm here for my appointment to see Father Ben…Beno—"
"Ahh! Mr. Hargann! Your appointment was for a couple hours prior. I was sure you wouldn't make it today, but, it's better late than never, yes?" He settled his broom aside, eagerly taking Cabil by the shoulder and sitting him down on a pew. "Yes, yes, I am Father Narus Sierafin Benoventeg, but the congregation calls me Father Nars for short." He sat aside Cabil with the most dulcet smile etched on his friendly face. "I am most pleased you decided to pay me a visit today. Not many are willing to express their deep need for assistance, guidance, or even prayer, and even more have lost all faith in our deities. This is truly the most vital step in clarity, peace with one's self, and starting anew."
As he jabbered on, Cabil couldn't help but notice an odd air floating around him. This priest was very peculiar. Although he hasn't encountered many religious men in his short years of living, he was certain of their vibe. Pretentious, perhaps wearing a mask to conceal something hostile? Malicious? A monster in plain sight, hiding behind the highly respected title known as priest. And to add onto the charade, he's a pretty boy—long sand pebble blond hair framing his oval silhouette, strong jawline, crystalline sapphire eyes tinted sage. He shouldn't jump to conclusions just yet, but the monotone of awaiting disaster pounded in his head anxiously. Could be the recent brawl in the square raddling his jitters, could be a gut feeling—
"Cabil? Cabil?"
"Hmm?" He jerked his head up startlingly, crossing his arms as he slouched into his seat.
"Was the website easy to maneuver?"
"My sister actually signed me up for this counseling session."
"Ah, good to hear siblings looking out for each other."
"I take refuge from this forsaken country by knowing she's safe."
"You two must be close. I can sense she means everything to you."
"She does, but all the same, she could be a real pain in my ass." Arms stretched out with a yawn, he flashed Narus a smirk, "Look, I don't need you to talk to me about how I can better myself, lose the gloom and doom attitude of mine and see the world from the other side of the spectrum; because let's face it—this piece of shit world we live in isn't the result of some fallen protégé, or a bitchy goddess who went rogue, or a punishment for our sins against deities; it's fucking life. We deal with it anyway we can, fight to survive, and at the very least, die with smiles on our faces. Cause at least we tried, right?" He paused, "Those demons aren't going to stop until they starve themselves by exhausting their food supply—us. Every last one of us…but I have a reason to fight, aside from survival, aside from that fat ass' protection."
"And what reason would that be?"
"To protect her. She's all I have now. And I would die fighting before those mother fuckers lay a hand on her." He clenched his fist, the elevation in his voice perking Narus' curiosity. "You can count on it!"
"Oh, a lover?"
"My adopted sister. She was young when she joined the family. Aside from the heaps of corpses, The Falling left cities with orphans to spare. My father took her in; she was in pretty bad shape. He ran a couple of safe houses around the town I grew up in for kids, but there was something about her that intrigued my father, so he brought her in as his own. Hmph, he was always trying to look out for everyone. Especially the little ones…just didn't know when somethings weren't worth the risk…"
He read his stirred tone, "Did something unfortunate transpire?"
"So how about that token?!" Cabil bolted off his seat, fixing his attention to the rather baffled priest turned by Cabil's sudden chipper front. "Dinner's waiting, and apparently I need that token to prove we had our little chat."
There was a brief silence between them before he got up and reached into his robe's deep side pocket revealing a small quarter sized double sided sticker piece with an emblem on it. "This should suffice. No doubt your sister will motion you to visit me again. I too would like to speak to you further, when you have time to spare. I sense a lot of stoical repression in you, a lot of rage. Talking about your feelings doesn't make you weak, it awakens you to the real issues at hand. And I can help you with that." He enveloped his hands around Cabil's, looking to him potently, "So next time how about we break that tough exterior of yours and get cleansed!"
"Pass." He replied, unfazed by the father's defeated expression. "You have a good night there, clergyman." He left with a salute goodbye, exiting the walls of the temple to note the darkness that quickly encompassed the city.
The streets tonight were vacant. Dim lights flickered at intervals parallel to each other down the sidewalk, and not a peep echoed through the burrows of buildings. An early curfew town-Cabil forgot about the strict nighttime regulations of keeping Dovve citizens locked up in boarded homes protected by "fortification spells." No wonder business lights were out, public grounds were closed, and not a soul ventured out at this time. He certainly didn't hear the curfew siren go off from the temple.
"Hmph, all of this for a lousy church sticker." He scoffed as he paced himself, pulling out the token at eye-level with a scrunched look on his face "The print shop should be able to—" He jerked, the rattling of chains sending a rushed impulse. He veered sharply behind him, fists already igniting a flame, only to be greeted with metal hooks lodged below his collar bones. Blackout-a tessellated wash of blood red blurred his vision as his body absorbed the shock from the sudden assault. His head staggered back, his shaking hand clasping the chain tailing the hooked weapon embedded in his chest. Gritting his teeth, still unable to register the pain, he glared at the girl atop the streetlight as she shouted,
"Class A solider Cabil Hargann! By the order of Mhalfoynt, You are under arrest for treason!"

The stories in Night Watch, a new collection from Susan Zettell, delve deep into dark waters. Zettell looks unflinchingly at life's bountiful sorrows: the loss felt by abandoned children, the sudden intrusion of sickness or death, the fierce love suffered by the mother of a troubled child, the journey away from home and the shining, difficult path of return.
These are stories about rising to the surface, about bravely striking out and beginning again after loss. Zettell's handling of her characters makes us feel as if this is not fiction at all, but real life floating on the page. Her characters take us with them as they break through to light, and air, and sometimes laughter, finding their obstacles suddenly fluid as water, thin as a pane of glass, and changeable as a heart.
Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
Born and raised in Kitchener, Ontario, Susan Zettell has lived in Cambridge, Vancouver, Halifax, Ottawa and Whitehorse. She now lives in Cape Breton. Susan is the author of the novel The Checkout Girl, as well as two short-story collections, Night Watch and Holy Days of Obligation. Her stories have been anthologized in Quintet, Spider Women, The Day the Men Went to Town, and The Company We Keep. She edited, along with Frances Itani, the posthumous story collection One of the Chosen by Danuta Gleed.Review :
We sympathize with [the characters'] plights and their trials because Zettell presents them with such compassion and understanding. -- The Record

Service issue updated at 3:30 p.m.: Email generated by WWW Legacy sites is no longer delayed. However, OIT has determined that the WWW Legacy sites email issue has also been affecting outbound mail delivery by WWW NG (next generation) sites (managed through Drupal). As a result, email generated by WWW NG sites may be currently experiencing a delay in delivery as the queue clears out.
Service issue reported at 12:45p.m.: It came to OIT's attention that, beginning sometime over the last 1-2 hours, WWW Legacy sites (sites that are edited through the OIT servers spot.colorado.edu and rintintin.colorado.edu and are stored in the /htdocs directory) were experiencing trouble sending outbound email. At this time, OIT believes that outbound email delivery functionality is restored, but outbound emails may still experience a delay in delivery as the queue is cleared out.

After a difficult search to find a partner that could address a very specific leadership development need, we chose LSA Global. They were responsive to our needs and created a solution that we continue to see results from. It is nice to know we have access to their expertise with a simple phone call.
Valerie Blackburn
Director of Business Operations
Having tripled in size and recently merged, LSA helped our executive team to increase our level of strategic alignment, solidify our new direction and push our agency forward. As we look to rapidly scale, the clear and actionable critical few strategic moves combined with how we differentiate ourselves to our top accounts and target clients has really set us on a great path to success. This is exactly what we needed to get to the next level.
Matt Britton
LSA demonstrated the criticality for executives to look beyond current ethics topics and focus on applying fundamental values in everything they do to demonstrate true leadership. They successfully delivered in two hours what most leadership development presenters would spend an entire day trying to communicate.
Nick Voyvodich, SPHR
HR Manager
We selected LSA Global over 5 other companies to help some key executives improve their overall communication and executive presentation capabilities. Feedback has been great. Everyone had a great experience and many of them are feeding some of the lessons into their teams. I highly recommend LSA to any executive team looking to better organize and more effectively deliver key messages to C-Level individuals.
Todd Power
Office of the CEO
LSA Global has been a great partner in helping ServiceSource move toward its Vision of being "the leading developer of talent in the service performance management industry." I have engaged LSA's services to help develop best-in-class programs in the areas of: Executive On-boarding, Manager Training, Sales Training, Employee Engagement and Instructional Design. They have consistently met or exceeded my (very) high expectations and are always responsive to my needs.
Mike Normant
Senior Director, Training & Development
It was a challenge to find a consultant with an approach to performance improvement that fit our unique culture and style. When we met with LSA we were surprised to discover their depth of expertise in the fields of motivation, developmental coaching and performance management and measurement.
Specifically, we were pleasantly surprised to find a company that could seamlessly integrate those three components without our folks feeling like the intervention was forced. They understood what we were trying to accomplish, helped us clarify our objectives, create a solid, refreshing approach that quickly got us moving and engaged people at all levels.
As they began to implement, I was thoroughly impressed with how they listened and made adaptations focused on our needs and business objectives. Overall, I couldn't be happier that we found a partner in LSA.
Doug Hansen
President and Director
LSA is an instrumental training outsourcing partner in helping us to build management capacity and strategically invest in our people. Their flexibility, depth, and breadth of expertise allows us to deliver top quality solutions that are directly tied to key business plans. Their ability to custom design, deliver, and evaluate our Management Curriculum has been excellent. They are true business partners and a pleasure to work with.
Margaret M. Mader
Vice President, Human Resources
We consistently receive positive feedback about the quality of the LSA Leadership Training Programs and LSA facilitators. We recognize and appreciate the hard work LSA always goes through to align to our unique culture and meet our specific requirements. Thank you for regularly going above and beyond to design solutions to meet our needs. Your support and dedication, both on the strategic and tactical side, have been outstanding!
Anna Meyer
Leadership Development
You have become our premier change leadership strategic partner. Your expertise in the human side of change is unparalleled and enabled our company to successfully implement our ERP Solution.
Ted Ramlet
We have had a very beneficial partnership with LSA for over 2 years. The recent Leadership Development Program that they designed and customized with us to help us identify, develop, and retain top leaders in the organization was a huge success. It was instrumental in helping take our company and our key people to the next level. I would recommend their training and consulting services to anyone looking to develop and retain top talent.
Steve Janowsky
Vice President of Operations
Great job in designing the Mergers and Acquisition strategy session for our global team. The executive presentation and information was excellent. I gained additional insight on the importance of the role of HR in Mergers and Acquisitions.
Gloria Veon
Senior Vice President, Human Resources
The action-learning leadership project has been very beneficial to me, our leadership team, and the entire organization. The balance of development and results has been excellent. We have made huge progress, and I was also able to identify 2-3 high potentials while having the extra benefit of people stepping up to carry strategic projects forward. The Staff is very appreciative and has become very comfortable with both the program and the process. It is still going better than anticipated, and I have been very pleased.
Heather Feltman
President & CEO
The customized leadership styles and coaching program was the best training that I have ever attended. The facilitators were phenomenal. They have a wealth of experience and knowledge coupled with compassionate and caring styles. I'd highly recommend this leadership training program to any manager, director, or executive looking for a life changing leadership program.
Shoaleh Ghaffari
Director, HR
LSA helped us design and deliver a blended learning solution for our leaders to help drive our growth plans in a way that aligned with our specific culture and values. LSA understood our business, had deep expertise in the content areas, tailored the programs to fit our specific needs, and delivered great results. They constantly strive to deliver business impact and align their solutions with our business initiates, culture, and performance management systems. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to take their leaders to the next level."

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: HALO) announced today that the EU Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has recommended that the European Commission approve Roche's subcutaneous (SC) formulation of MabThera® (rituximab) using Halozyme's recombinant human hyaluronidase (rHuPH20) for the treatment of patients with common forms of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100302/LA63139LOGO)
"This subcutaneous formulation of MabThera, pending approval in the EU, provides a new route of administration and a shortened treatment time of approximately five minutes that could potentially save time for NHL patients, physicians and other health care providers in Europe," said Dr. Helen Torley, President and Chief Executive Officer, Halozyme Therapeutics. "We are excited that our technology has helped enable this potential new treatment option for patients in Europe."
Currently, MabThera is delivered by an intravenous infusion which takes approximately 2.5 hours. The new MabThera SC formulation comes as a ready-to-use, fixed dose, 1,400 mg solution, which shortens pharmacy preparation time and reduces the overall impact on hospital resources.
The CHMP opinion is based primarily on data from Roche's Phase 3 SABRINA study. Roche expects a final decision from the European Commission in the coming months.
About Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
There are two main types of lymphoma: Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Non-Hodgkin lymphomas are difficult-to-treat and represent approximately 84% of lymphoma diagnoses1. NHL was responsible for over 200,000 annual deaths worldwide in 20102.
Lymphomas are a cancer of the lymphatic system (composed of lymph vessels, lymph nodes and organs) which helps to keep the body fluid levels balanced and to defend the body against infectious diseases. Lymphoma develops when white blood cells (usually B-lymphocytes) in the lymph fluid become cancerous and begin to multiply and collect in the lymph nodes or lymphatic tissues such as the spleen. Some of these cells are released into the bloodstream and spread around the body, interfering with the body's production of healthy blood cells.
Halozyme-Roche Collaboration
In December 2006, Halozyme entered into an agreement with Roche to apply Halozyme's proprietary Enhanze™ technology to Roche's biological therapeutic compounds. To date, Roche has elected to explore the use of rHuPH20 for up to a total of five exclusive targets, and Roche retains the option to apply rHuPH20 to three additional targets through the payment of annual license maintenance fees. Subject to the successful achievement of clinical, regulatory, and sales events, Roche will pay Halozyme additional milestones as well as royalties on product sales for Herceptin SC, MabThera SC and any other product candidates which would be successfully developed and commercialized under the agreement.
About Halozyme
Halozyme Therapeutics is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing and commercializing innovative products that advance patient care. With a diversified portfolio of enzymes that target the extracellular matrix, the Company's research focuses primarily on a family of human enzymes, known as hyaluronidases, which increase the dispersion and absorption of biologics, drugs and fluids. Halozyme's pipeline addresses therapeutic areas, including diabetes, oncology and dermatology that have significant unmet medical need. The Company markets Hylenex® recombinant (hyaluronidase human injection) and has partnerships with Roche, Pfizer, Baxter, and Intrexon. Halozyme is headquartered in San Diego, CA. For more information on how we are innovating, please visit our corporate website at www.halozyme.com and follow us on Twitter @HALOTherapeutic.
Safe Harbor Statement
This release includes forward-looking statements such as the potential benefits of MabThera SC to patients, physicians and the healthcare system, and the possible receipt by Halozyme of future milestones and royalties under the Roche/Halozyme collaboration agreement. The statements are based on assumptions about many important factors, including the following, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements: the approval of MabThera SC and other product candidates under the Halozyme-Roche Collaboration by the European Commission; satisfaction of regulatory and other requirements; actions of regulatory bodies and other governmental authorities; issues encountered in the sale of MabThera SC and other product candidates under the Halozyme-Roche Collaboration including the countries where the product is approved, approval timelines, the rate of conversion of IV formulation users to SC users, pricing and other commercial factors; unexpected adverse events; changes in laws and regulations; competitive conditions; and other risks identified in Halozyme's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 8, 2013. Halozyme does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements.

Not only am I excited about this huge twenty six page feature, with some cool arial images and some great action shots, I am also very excited because this was the first comercial test with the Fuji XT-1 camera. I had received my Fuji in between a eight day shoot for Up magazine, so naturally I took both my Canon Kit and the Fuji Kit, I figured I would shoot 80% Canon and 20 % Fuji. I have to say that by the 2nd day of the press trip, I was already using the Fuji XT-1 80% more of the time because of its small compact size and huge LCD made for some interesting images.
Click on the tear sheets and read the article and see the images in all there Fuji glory .

A couple of weeks ago, we offered seven ways for brides and grooms to reduce the cost of their wedding cocktail hour. Our argument then was that you can have a really nice, really pleasing, really special wedding food service while still being prudent and conservative.
The same holds true not only for the cocktail hour, but for dinner itself—and today, we'll offer a few tips for reducing some of the cost of your wedding dinner service.
Don't overdo it. If you've already served cocktails and appetizers, nobody is going to expect a seven-course feast. You can get by with three courses just fine. And make sure you're not repeating yourself: If you had salad during your cocktail hours, there's no need for salad with dinner, too.
Combine courses. On the other hand, you can save costs by rolling one course into another—for example, two shrimp served with some greens and veggies can be something of a salad and an appetizer, and it can be both satisfying and affordable.
Make less-exciting ingredients more noteworthy. You may not have the budget to spring for premium steaks, but something as simple as chicken can be delicious and memorable—as well as affordable—when you pair it with a fancy sauce.
Bring some life to your pasta dishes. A boring old pasta dish can turn into the star of your dinner service if you choose something just a little bit off the beaten path—like ravioli filled with goat cheese and spinach, or something served with pumpkin.
Plan seafood according to seasonality. Ask your caterer which fish will be in season—and thus affordable—for your big day.
Don't assume that top-dollar cuts of meat are the best. You don't need a costly filet, necessarily; braised short ribs can be just as delicious. Ask your caterer about the most affordable options for meat.
Offer enticing vegetarian entrees. You may be surprised by how many non-vegetarians choose these less-pricey options.
Your dinner service can make a big splash with your guests, without taking a huge chunk out of your budget. And we can help you achieve that balance: Just contact the Mosteller Events catering team to learn more!

A resent air strike in Syria hunts and burned several civilians in Aleppo Rubble including innocent Childs. A photo of small kid is circulating several times in a day on social media and news channels in which the child in pictures, represented as symbol of war. The telegraph reported as the child is only 5 years old and his name is Omran Daqnessh, who was pulled from the rubble and brought to the ambulance by rescue squad. His face becoming a sign of the horrifying scenes could be seen in every day, struggles of innocent civilians in Aleppo. According to UK base war monitoring sources, war planes bombardment destroyed the several apartments and houses in the area and injured and killed many citizen. It is always the innocent children, women and the elderly who suffer the most in a hellish war. As haunting footage of a young boy's rescue from the aftershock of an airstrike shaken global media tremendously, the Russian army officials' step forward willing to back a UN cease fires call in Syria's contested city of Aleppo. The boy looking shocked in the image with dusty and bleeding face captured the scene like a horror movie but facts are as it could be seen every day. Sources said, the building in which boy was pulled out collapsed completely after an hour. The boy after medical treatment discharged from medical camp as Dr. Osama Abu al-Ezz. Said the boy was suffered head wounds but no brain injury, but image has frustrated the U.N.'s efforts to fulfill its humanitarian mandate and posturized the whole scene of destruction of civilization in Syria and a loss of a whole child generation since the conflict starts. The child in image looks it was as if he was asleep and not unconscious but shocked. Omran with his family members were also rescued from the building with light injuries. The strong imagery impact reverberated across social media, drawing to mind the distressed global reaction to the photos of Aylan Kurdi, the drowned Syrian boy whose body was found on a beach in Turkey and came to represent the horrific scenario of Syria's civil war. Scenes like the airstrike Wednesday night are very common in Aleppo. A foreign based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring pointed out that there were around 250 civilians killed while firing and mortar shelling between rebels and government forces in the first two weeks of August alone. It could be strange for someone that doctors used code names instead of their original names but in Syrian medical camps paramedical staff does because they argue that they have been systematically targeted by government forces and some militant groups..

Morning Read: Jobless Claims Creep Higher, As Do Markets
Market check: Oil edges higher, copper edges higher, stock futures edge .... You get the drift. "Drift," as it happens, is the operative word: This August has been mercifully quiet compared to the last two. In Thursday morning data, U.S. jobless claims crept higher by 2,000, which roughly matched expectations. Home building fell 1.1% in July, undershooting economists' forecasts. But building permits shot higher by 6.8% to the highest annualized level since August 2008. New-home construction, here we come!

Have to disagree. Our owners' ambition is for us to become a regular top 6 team so we must see Arsenal, and the other traditional top teams, as our competitors.
deep blue replied to GLC's topic in Transfer TalkWhich is exactly what he's got at the moment.
Lemar would be nice. Could let A*se have Mahrez as a consolation prize.
So it's ok then, that he took the greedy option, rather than taking the more honest approach that would have left him in control of his destiny now?
If Mahrez wanted out now then he shouldn't have shown it by coming to some sort of informal agreement, which doesn't seem to be binding, but by signing a contract for a single year. By signing a 4-year contract (no doubt for purposes of greed and insurance) he technically, and legally, committed himself to us for 4 years. He should expect no other outcome than that we will let him go on OUR terms, not his..
The worst thing for the club in this is the "not knowing". It doesn't help us to plan the preseason if, at any moment up to the end of the window, Mahrez might suddenly leave and we have to scramble for a replacement. Could we not publish an ultimatum - we will not entertain any bids that come after the deadline we set e.g. in 2 week's time?
It's not just to prove a point, but to ensure that we don't get our pants pulled down on every deal over the next 2 years, which could cost us millions. If Mahrez is forced to stay with us then there's a risk that he won't learn from it and will be a corrosive influence, but I think that will be a v small risk. The odds are that he will reassess his situation and accept reality. No-one wanted him badly enough, that was because of his own shortcomings, he let us (and himsrlf) badly last season, he will possibly have p*ssed off his teammates. When he takes stock he will see that the only way forward for him is to knuckle down, start afresh, rehabilitate himself with the squad and staff (esp at training). He is in a far better place than he could have hoped for, given the quality and ambition of our signings, which negates his inferences that he suffreed from lack of quality in the team around him last season. And I'm sure he'd start with a clean slate with Shakey in charge.
If it's true that it's 25 mill rising to 29, does anyone think that we've maybe managed to exclude the buy-back clause in the agreement? We might have been in a position to do that with W Ham backing out and leaving us as the only serious bidders. Also, people on here have often talked about smokescreens. I wonder whether the recent revival of our interest in Deeney may have been exactly that, given the coincidence of the timing and the fact that, had we pursued Deeney as an alternative, Man City would suddenly be faced with the prospect of no suitors for Iheanacho.
... and Premiership winner, and member of the team that progressed further in the Champions League than any other British team. His price should be going up and up.
Can't help noticing that last Summer we had Ranieri here, this Summer we don't.
If you have huge pulling power in the transfer market, then I see no risk. Why would Man City doubt their ability to do this?
Agree with this, and hope that such an acquisition might sway Mahrez (and others?) into thinking it would be worth staying with us.
This has been said several times in this thread but I still find it hard to believe. Surely a club with Man City's pulling power will have no difficulty in finding a suitable replacement, and could afford to let Icheanacho go immediately.
deep blue replied to gcxttle's topic in Transfer TalkAgreed. Hope he is back to full fitness next season. Callabinho suggested that DD's excellence in the previous season may have been enhanced by being alongside Kante, and there must be some truth in that, but we shouldn't forget his performances alongside Matty James in our promotion season, albeit in the Championship. Actually, that can be looked on optimistically for next season. A fully fit DD, and a rejuvenated James (which is not guaranteed but could well happen), in addition to Iborra and Ndidi as our prime contenders, would see us with a good amount of ability, flexibility and cover in our midfield next season.
The profit on what we paid for him is irrelevant. That's looking into the past. We have to look out for the best interests of the future of our club in respect of being able to kick on and progress post-Mahrez, so the issue in setting the fee should be "how much will it cost to replace/upgrade him", and not a penny less..

(From December 7th)
I am on a plane headed to meet my son for the first time.
I packed some clothes and other essentials for me, some clothes for him, and a very special painting. Although I didn't really pack the painting—it was too large to fit in any suitcase I had—so I wrapped it in bubble wrap, reinforced the corners with extra wrap, and added a customized duct-taped handle to the top (I was rather proud of this design achievement) hoping all the while that there was some hidden rule that an airline attendant would recognize how important this oversized cargo was and would happily stash it in some special closet on board.
Anyways, I was just thinking about how neat it is that this happy reunion is happening between myself and Mandie after 25 years of knowing each other. We moved in to that sweet green house at the top of the cul de sac, and Mandie walked over with her mom to deliver a delicious cake with icing writing on the top (something akin to "welcome" I believe).
Mandie epitomizes the word "welcome."
She has spent her adult years pursuing a nursing degree, living overseas and doing missions work with children, both abroad and in her every day life here in America. She gives, selflessly, to children in all types of situations that come to her home and find refuge. She gives her heart to each and every one of them, trusting God to show her how best to nurture, protect, and grow them. She has adopted two sweet girls of her own and is committed to fostering countless numbers of children that need a home (but I would say she could count every single one of them, because they uniquely matter to her).
She is my hero, this childhood friend of mine. Did I mention she is an artist and gifted writer as well? She beautifies the atmosphere around her—through her art, her words, and her love. (Her Etsy Shop–Echoes of Mercy–has so many neat pieces…most are available for download. ie instant encouraging/inspirational art in your home.)
I must think that when God saw our little girl selves shyly saying hello for the first time at that tender preschool age, he must have smiled a big, full smile, knowing that our stories would take weaves and turns and ultimately join once again as Mandie said yes to welcoming a little 7 year old Chinese boy into her home while he received medical care at a nearby hospital, and I first laid eyes on him through her stylishly snapped Instagram photo.
At first glance I saw a cute little boy with a cute little hipster hat. But then I was drawn to look again, and I studied his face. Something stirred in my spirit and I felt as if I was looking into the face of my son.
And now, six months later, I am on a plane, headed to meet him for the first time, and bring him home.
That painting is the best "thank you" I could think of, but still falls far short. How can I adequately thank the woman who said yes to the little boy who was confused and scared with vision impairment and no english, and gave her heart to helping him learn and grow in his body, mind, and soul? Through thick and thin she has persevered, following a strict post-op care regimen, taking him to all sorts of appointments and sitting for hours in waiting rooms, answering a barrage of non-stop questions daily, and most of all, teaching him what love looks like. When she lets him go this week, and says good bye for now, she is giving us the gift of a little boy that knows he is loved.
I said that painting was special, not because of any great skill in the production of it, but because of what happened in my heart while creating it. It is the first landscape painting I have ever attempted—I was just too nervous before. But I painted it for Mandie because that is exactly the kind of person she is—she gives people the courage to do hard things; the things that are intimidating but totally doable when we live in grace.
Thank you, Mandie. I am forever grateful for you.
