The weather in western North Carolina has been a tease lately. We had our first freeze in October, but since then the temperatures have been leaping up into the 70's and then back down into the 20's at night. The plants, trees, and birds are so confused, and so is my sinus! People who I know are quite healthy and active are still getting sick as their bodies try to adapt to the weather patterns, so I am doing my best to boost my immune system.
Along with daily doses of Echinacea Tincture, multi-vitamins, and lots of water, I am a fan of the "heat cure" when I start to feel a bit icky. When I say "heat cure," I mean that I drink hot beverages with herbs that make me flushed and warm – cinnamon, ginger, pepper, garlic…all of these are great at boosting body temperature. I then wrap up under a few warm blankets (and a puppy and a kitty and sometimes an Eric) to sweat it out.
The past few days, my throat has been itchy, my nose has been sensitive, and so I have been taking a daily shot of Fire Vinegar. Fire Vinegar is rich in vitamins and nutrients, and really easy to make:
A basic recipe for Fire Vinegar:
Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV): I use raw, live apple cider vinegar, cloudy and unpasteurized and delicious! The probiotics are a boon, and I prefer the flavor over any other vinegar.
Peppers: Fresh or dried peppers of any preferred variety – I use whole, dried cayenne peppers (seeds and all).
Garlic: Oh, I could write a long love note to garlic...rhapsodize about the beneficial sulfur compounds, praise the potent antibiotic and antiviral properties, remark on how beneficial for bronchitis and other lung issues it can be. The "stinking rose" also helps with heart health, blood pressure and cholesterol, and also blesses us with its anti-inflammatory properties. It is worth it to note that vinegar (or lemon juice and other acids) can lower some of the garlic's best properties, so chop your garlic and let it sit for at least five minutes before adding it to the vinegar. This allows the enzymes in the garlic to convert from alliin to the more beneficial allicin.
Ginger: I have already written about wonderful ginger, an herb that I love dearly. The heat from ginger feels like sunshine peeking through the clouds! It adds a different bite to this vinegar blend, and it boosts circulation and opens the sinuses!
Now, that's a good start. From there, just add other herbs or veggies that you think will help!
There are a few other ingredients that I've seen people use in their vinegars, and I'll add some to my jar as I come across them! I've used reishi mushrooms, onion, astragalus, fresh thyme, dried nettles, and orange or lemon peel. Once I come across some fresh sources, I plan on adding some horseradish, turmeric, and wasabi!
Now, you'll note that I did not provide quantities for you. That is because I make mine completely by instinct and preference. I have a glass jar in the fridge that holds ACV and all the chunky veggies, herbs, and peppers. I strain from that jar into the final bottle for serving and stick it in the fridge.
When I want some (or feel a cold coming on), I put a tiny bit in a shotglass, probably no more than a third full, and usually less than that. I fill up the shotglass the rest of the way with water or orange juice and drink it down. The burn is strong but quick, and boy, does it heat up the blood!
Oh, and for you foodies – Fire vinegar also tastes GREAT on cooked greens or as the vinegar in a North Carolina-style BBQ sauce.
Do you make your own fire vinegar? What do you add into it? Do you do something different than I do? I'd love to hear about it!

We enjoyed the rooms, the food, the spa and comfort. Though the "sunrise view" is mostly a view of the hotel parking lot, the surroundings and thus the walks are very nice. The restaurant meals are delicious (breakfast and dinner). We were going for a weekend trip and so I only brought along leisure clothes. You might consider taking something nice with you though, as many people wore nice clothing (high heels included) for dinner. - we wanted to pay our balance the night before the actual check-out because we expected that sunday morning there will be a lot of people checking out and we wanted to save the time. Though the receptionist for some reason gave us a bill which didn't include all expenses (e.g. one night rate, wine etc.) and so on sunday when we found out that we have to pay even more money, we had to wait in line anyway and it just made everything complicated as our room was supposed to be covered by somebody else who already left before us.... Also not all the staff (especially the spa are) speaks english
The quiet place that it is there,you can relax very well. The pools aren't so well equiped, they are not last generation in pools domain.
Rooms were excellent, modern, staff were very friendly & the spa was great. Food was a set menu, & was not brilliant.
The hotel staff and the facilities of spa Heiltherme and Quellenoase. Very noise because the renovation, very much employees, only in sunday it was ok. If we knew about that, we didn't go to this hotel in this period.
Very clean, friendly staff, very good food, excellent pools and spa. You can charge your batteries and find complete relaxation.
Spacious room, quiet, well equiped, nice staff, good breakfast... Good really. No
Good location, close to highway between Vienna and Graz. Restaurant in Hotel.
Own parking garage; no smoking breakfast room; own smoker bar area
Quite place, very nice and caring personnel trying to speak English and understand what the non-german speaking guest is trying to say. Always available to help.
Nice Hotel...friendly staff...good food...garaged parking...nice spa/wellness area Spa area was practically empty during my short stay

Description: With Comeuppance, William Flesch delivers the freshest, most generous thinking about the novel since Walter Benjamin wrote on the storyteller and Wayne C. Booth on the rhetoric of fiction. In clear and engaging prose, Flesch integrates evolutionary psychology into literary studies, creating a new theory of fiction in which form and content flawlessly intermesh.Fiction, Flesch contends, gives us our most powerful way of making sense of the social world. Comeuppance begins with an exploration of the appeal of gossip and ends with an account of how we can think about characters and care about them as much as about persons we know to be real. We praise a storyteller who contrives a happy or at least an appropriate ending, and fault the writer who refuses us one. Flesch uses Darwinian theory to show how fiction satisfies our desire to see the good vindicated and the wicked get their comeuppance. He conveys the danger and excitement of reading fiction with nimble intelligence and provides wide reference to stories both familiar and little known.Flesch has given us a book that is sure to claim a central place in the discussion of literature and the humanities.

PHOENIX (AP) Arizona ace Brandon Webb is headed to the 15-day disabled list with tightness in his pitching shoulder.
FANTASY: MLB home, Fantasy Windup community
The Diamondbacks decided to make the move, retroactive to Tuesday, after Webb tested his shoulder by playing catch on Sunday morning.
"I feel like we're making progress on it, but we just need a little more time to make sure it's totally good," Webb said.
The right-hander is confident the injury will heal quickly.
"There's no concern," he said. "The MRIs are all good. I mean, if there's no structural damage, there's nothing to worry about."
The Diamondbacks said they would make a corresponding roster move before Monday's game against St. Louis.
Arizona manager Bob Melvin said the Diamondbacks wanted to be cautious with Webb, who won the 2006 NL Cy Young Award and finished runner-up the last two years. Webb has been Arizona's workhorse since 2004, pitching at least 208 innings in each of the past five seasons.
"Early in the season, we can't be too careful with a guy like that," Melvin said.
Webb said he first started feeling tightness in the back of his shoulder during his last spring training start. He gave up six earned runs in four innings on opening day against Colorado and was scratched from his scheduled start Saturday.
This is Webb's second trip to the disabled list as a major leaguer. The first came in 2003, his rookie season, when Webb missed 15 days with right elbow tendinitis.
Yusmeiro Petit took Webb's turn on Saturday, and he's expected to remain in the rotation until Webb returns. Melvin said he's confident Webb will be back soon.
"If he's progressing with it, we have every reason to believe that the DL stint will take care of it," Melvin said.

Kim Kardashian Becomes the Most-Searched Person on Yahoo! in 2012
Kim Kardashian is among the top 10 on 2012 Yahoo! Searches list. The "Keeping up with the Kardashians" star comes in the third place after terms "election" as the champion and "iPhone 5" as the runner-up. It makes her become the most-searched person throughout the past 12 months.
Vera Chan, Yahoo!'s web trend analyst, said Kim's "notoriety has kept her at the top." The buxom hottie becomes a constant hot topic due to her ongoing divorce battle with her estranged husband Kris Humphries , her high-profile romance with Kanye West and her E! reality series.
Vera additionally said, "The 2012 elections dominated the online searches, which is amazing because if something is in the news, it's already accessible ... people were really saturated by it, but even so, that was a key word that people typed throughout the year."
Regarding the runner-up, Vera noted that iPhone has always been on the top searches since the release of its first generation. This year, which becomes "a post-Steve Jobs era," marks the first time a specific model of the Apple gadget reaches as high as the second place.
Other famous females on the top 10 on the overall list are Kate Middleton who was entangled in a topless photo scandal, Whitney Houston whose death in early 2012 spawned a number of tributes, and Lindsay Lohan who's facing multiple legal woes.
Sports Illustrated cover model Kate Upton and former "American Idol" judge Jennifer Lopez are on the list as well.
In pop culture category, "The Hunger Games" becomes the most popular term in the past twelve months. The other talks of the town are reality star Honey Boo Boo, S&M novel "Fifty Shades of Grey", boyband One Direction, Carly Rae Jepsen's smash hit "Call Me Maybe" and PSY's viral sensation "Gangnam Style".

|København "Copenhagen"
|Faroese, Greenlandic and German
|Church Of Denmark
|Christian IX of Denmark
|Rigsdaler, Reichsthaler, Riksdaler and Rijksdaalder
The Kingdom Of Denmark (Kongeriget Danmark) is an independent country in Europe, Jutland (Cimbrian Peninsula). Its population is about one million people. The King Of Denmark is Christian IX, Predecessor Frederick VII (List Of Danish Kings). Christian IX is in the House of Oldenburg.
The Danish Government Uses Monarchy As King Christian IX of Denmark (List) of Kings
The Kingdom Of Denmark Uses Rigsdaler (Other names: Reichsthaler, Riksdaler, Rijksdaalder)
The Danish currency system established in 1625 consisted of 12 penning = 1 skilling, 16 skilling = 1 mark, 6 mark = 1 rigsdaler and 8 mark = 1 krone.[1] From 1713, two separate systems coexisted, courant and species, with courant being a debased currency also used for banknote issue. The rigsdaler species contained 4⁄37 of a Cologne mark of fine silver (i.e., 9¼ rigsdaler species equaled one Cologne mark).
In 1813, following a financial crisis, a new currency system was introduced, based on the rigsbankdaler. This was divided into 96 rigsbank skilling and was equal to half a rigsdaler species or 6 rigsdaler courant.
A further change was made in 1854. The rigsdaler species name disappeared and the names rigsbankdaler and rigsbank skilling became rigsdaler and skilling rigsmønt. Thus, there were 96 skilling rigsmønt to the rigsdaler.
In 1873, Denmark and Sweden formed the Scandinavian Monetary Union and the rigsdaler was replaced by the Danish krone. An equal valued krone/krona of the monetary union replaced the three currencies at the rate of 1 krone/krona = ½ Danish rigsdaler = ¼ Norwegian speciedaler = 1 Swedish riksdaler. Because of this reform, where two Danish kroner was then of equal worth to the Danish daler, the "tokrone" coins got the common name of "daler" as they were functionally the same (the real daler got retired)
In the late 18th century, coins were issued in denominations of ½, 1, 2, 4, 8, 24 and 32 skilling, 1⁄15, ¼, ⅓, ½ and 1 rigsdaler specie. From 1818, 1, 2 and 32 rigsbank skilling coins are issued, with 1 rigsdaler species from 1820. From 1826, gold coins are issued denominated in "Frederiks d'Or" or "Christians d'Or" (depending on the name of the ruling king). The "d'or" is nominally worth 10 rigsdaler, although the currency is on a silver standard. In 1838, ½ rigsbank skilling coins are introduced.
Between 1840 and 1843, a new coinage is introduced, consisting of 1⁄5, ½, 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 16 and 32 rigsbank skilling, 1 rigsbankdaler and 1 rigsdaler species. Denominations between 4 rigsbank skilling and 1 rigsbankdaler are also inscribed with the denomination in the currency of Schleswig-Holstein, the Schilling Courant, of which there are 60 to the Speciethaler, equal to the rigsdaler species. These denominations are 1¼, 2½, 5, 10 and 30 Schilling Courant. The renaming of the currency units in 1854 leads to the issuing of coins for ½, 1, 4 and 16 skilling rigsmønt, 1 and 2 rigsdaler. Gold "d'or" coins continued to be issued

Judge Grady found that a securities fraud class action filed against DeVry Group and certain senior executives four years ago was a "strike suit," or a suit filed without any legitimate basis for the purpose of obtaining a private settlement. The Court also held that DeVry Group presumptively is entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses for the entire action. "We are pleased with the Court's decision. It confirms what we have known for four years – that this was a frivolous suit," said Greg Davis, general counsel at DeVry Education Group.

Keroro's Underground Base is found underneath the Hinata Family's house. Visitors must climb a ladder found underneath the staircase and walk through the door with a 'star' symbol on it. Inside is Keroro's Room, first seen in Episode 1. There is a picture of military patterns on the wall, a Plasma TV, a stereo and a computer that Keroro uses to surf the net (In one episode, Giroro caught him chatting with housewives on a forum.) The computer is frequently used by Kururu as well. Keroro displays some of his Gundam Models on a shelf. He takes naps on a lounge chair in the room. To gain access to an even further underground base, you have to open a mini fridge and get sucked inside. According to Kururu nobody knows the full plans of the underground base because it is always in construction.

Sorry Greece, There's No One Behind The Curtain
It's confession time.
Hapless financial journalists asked to cover complex derivative markets back in the good old days didn't really understand them. Oh, we felt bad about it, and we occasionally felt pretty dumb, too, as we trailed from one bank to another to hear about the latest 'innovative' product. We occasionally wished we'd spent a bit longer in school so we could be on the other side of the table at these presentations, with the nice suits and the pricey watches.
And we tried not to sound stupid when it came to question time at the end, often hoping the mike would pass us by and let someone else sound silly.
But, in any case, by the end it all sounded reasonable enough so we went with it, assuming of course, somebody, somewhere, knew how it all worked, even if we never quite got to meet them. Well, as it turned out, of course, no one did.
There were plenty of rocket scientists in the market who knew more than we did, but no one knew enough. And the rest is history…
So, now, money markets want so much interest for taking on Greek debt that Greek ministers would be better off using their credit cards to raise funds. And, sadly, that same sinking feeling dawns again. We all thought some Wizard of Oz behind a curtain in the Emerald City of Brussels knew how to make Greece into Germany, and quickly enough that they could both plausibly use the same currency, too.
And we're not just talking about financial journalists here, of course. Bond markets used to think that way, too, charging very low premiums over German debt to let Greece borrow. The narrowest basis-point difference between Greek and German bond yields was in the low twenties. That was back in 2007 and essentially meant investors were treating the two nations' paper as equivalent (ask yourself when the really mad speculation was; now, or then, when everyone seemed to think the Wizard was real and Greece was Germany?) Equity markets bought in too, with a sectoral approach to investing in Europe replacing that old-fashioned, country-centered view.
Well, not any more.

"The mystery of space, the unknown, my students just love talking about it," said Perino, who teaches middle school science in the Bronx.
So Perino took a few days off from teaching summer school to work with other space advocates to persuade lawmakers in Washington to embrace President Bush's plan for sending astronauts back to the moon and eventually to Mars.
It has been a stellar year for space fans like Perino.
The first privately financed suborbital space flight, the successful landing of two rovers on Mars and a mission orbiting Saturn turned attention toward space exploration again. NASA managers and engineers produced a dazzling array of charts and timelines to describe how they plan to make Bush's space-exploration vision a reality.
But six months after Bush urged the nation "to build new ships to carry man forward into the universe," Congress has done little to answer the call.
"Congress is a hard place to get focused," said Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., chairman of the Senate Science, Technology and Space Subcommittee.
Brownback is one of the few lawmakers who has taken steps this year to get the U.S. space program beyond the shuttle era.
In June, he introduced legislation to authorize NASA to pursue the goals Bush set. But he is encountering resistance as he sells his colleagues on the need to get going this year.
"In a very political year it is tough to get something like this through," Brownback said. "It's kind of a benign neglect."
Perino and his allies hope to dislodge Congress from its complacency.
The group of 70 amateur and professional space advocates — from more than a dozen organizations — fanned out across Capitol Hill in July to appeal to lawmakers and aides.
They called it the "Moon-Mars Blitz." Many harbor hopes America will lead the way in creating a space tourism industry and eventually, colonies on the moon and Mars.
"I'm terrified if they don't support this we might not have another chance," said April Andreas, 24, who traveled from her home in McKinney, Texas, with her husband, Derek. "We can't just keep putting people in the shuttle."
The two met as students at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. Their shared fascination with exploring and colonizing space has been a constant in their relationship.
"We had a space theme at our wedding," said April, a systems engineer for Raytheon.
Most meetings between the space advocates and congressional aides were polite exchanges in which the aides were careful not to commit their bosses to anything.
But Jake Hicks, a 15-year-old sophomore at North Jackson High School in Stevenson, Ala., said he isn't frustrated. Lawmakers in states where NASA contracts provide jobs will get behind the legislation eventually, said Hicks, who lives an hour west of Marshall Space Flight Center.
"If they are from Alabama, they sure like them votes," Hicks said.
A successful outcome may be elusive.
Before adjourning for the summer, a key House committee cut $1.1 billion from the space budget President Bush sought. The White House has threatened a veto.

Tom Hanks and Charlize Theron
The 40-year-old star was infatuated with the actor during her formative years and often imagined herself as one of his glamorous female co-stars such as Meg Ryan, with whom he starred in a string of hit movies including 1993's "Sleepless in Seattle" and 1998's 'You've Got Mail', reported Female First.
"I grew up watching the movies of Tom Hanks. He was like a 'boyfriend'. When I was eight, I would walk around like I was one of the girls in a Tom Hanks movie. So I have a restraining order from his wife!" she said.

Education Service Center Region 13's Homeless Education program (HEP) has worked with regional school districts, charter schools, and social service agencies for over 20 years to encourage and support the identification, enrollment, and academic success of children and youth without homes.
Students without homes have certain rights under the law. (The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act is the name of the major Federal law that protects this group.) Many people – students, families, school teachers or administrators – may be unaware of their rights and responsibilities under this Act. We help educate educators about how they can best help these most vulnerable children succeed.
Region 13's HEP offers a wide variety of educational, informational, and networking opportunities, including on-site trainings, center-based workshops, electronic newsletters, an online class, and technical assistance for homeless liaisons and campus staff.

Meet the new boss from hell -- if this lawsuit filed by a former employee of a wire-transfer company is accurate.
Ars Technica has the details:
A Central California woman claims she was fired after uninstalling an app that her employer required her to run constantly on her company issued iPhone—an app that tracked her every move 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Filed in Kern County Superior Court, the lawsuit alleges that plaintiff Myrna Arias was recruited early last year to join Intermex by regional vice president of sales John Stubits. Two months later, Stubits asked all employees to download to their smartphones a GPS-based tracking app called Xora.
After Stubits acknowledged that employees would be monitored while off-duty, the suit says, Arias complained that it was an invasion of privacy. Stubits essentially said tough luck, so Arias uninstalled Xora in late April. She was fired on May 5, her court filing said.
It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.
This story, "Woman fired for uninstalling 24/7 tracking app from phone, lawsuit claims" was originally published by Fritterati.

- "'Hairless groin?' Got something to tell us, Dad?"
- ―Ben Skywalker
Eragon was a kid from a farm who met an old man who was the last of a fraternal organization of warrior sages. Then an evil empire killed his uncle and destroyed the farm. Then the last of the warrior sages died and Eragon swore revenge. Eragon met up with a rebellion and was key in their battle against overwhelming odds. Then Eragon trained with another man and discontinued that training only to face his principal antagonist, only to learn that his enemy was his father.
Luke Skywalker sued his ass for copyright infringement. Eragon won the case on the following defense:
- Eragon was a vegan who enjoyed killing and torturing people. Luke liked eating meat but not torturing or killing people.
- Eragon had fantasized about many males, while Luke's sexual fantasies were all about females.
Luke ate a steak and looked at a copy of Twi'lek Monthly while proving Eragon wrong.

Ranma's attacks:
Due to his doubly cursed nature, Ranma is unable to utilize such chi based moves as the Möko Takabisha. Instead, Cologne has taught him to utilize pure ki attacks. There are as follows:
HEAVEN'S LIGHT CANNON: a continuous shot of pure positive ki.
HEAVEN'S LIGHT CHARGE: a quick shot of positive ki.
HELL'S FURY CANNON: a continuous shot of negative ki.
HELL'S FURY CHARGE: a quick shot of negative ki.
BIPOLAR SHOT: a quick shot combining positive and negative ki, each generated by a different hand.
BIPOLAR CANNON: a continuous shot combining positive and negative ki, each generated by a different hand.
This is due to both the dual nature of Ranma's Jusenkyo curses as well as the personality of Ranko disrupting his ability to try and channel emotion based chi attacks. However, such moves as the Hiryü Shöten Ha and the Kachü Tenshin Amaguriken work as they require ki to enhance as well as perform; pure ki to enhance the speed as well as the conflict between hot and cold ki. The next chapter will go into more detail about this subject.
Dreamscape: a false world created by Ranma in his mind with the help of Cologne. Its purpose is to both provide a training ground for Ranma where time is not an option (weeks of dreaming can be fit into a single night's sleep), as well as a place for Ranko to exist without being alone or locked away in Ranma's mind. Though he may perfect training methods in the dreamscape, he will only acquire the ki aspects of them. He will need to practice in reality to gain the physical aspects of this training. As a result, dreamscape training in the Bakusai Tenketsu will only help Ranma see the breaking points, but will not help him earn the toughness also acquired with the training for this technique

Innortal is unable to comment at the moment, as he is currently being held by Nodoka and Queen Serenity, as they try to...convince him...of the correct choice.
Well, you can guess what they support.
The neko-boy sat in his room at the Tendo Dojo. In a day or two, he and his sister would have to move back in with their mother, as well as their newly adopted sister/brother, Ukyo. While he was glad that he would be part of a family, the way his mother was doing things was making him quite...nervous.
For one, she was insisting him ad his sister go to school...in uniforms...without the cloaks...during the daytime.
Normally, he would think her mad.
Now, he confirmed it.
His mother—despite protests from every sane, or near sane, since this was Nerima—had insisted they stop hiding behind those cloaks when they returned to her home. If they were stuck as neko-humans, then they should never hide it.
She neglected the fact that every demon hunter—aside from the Senshi—would be looking to try and exorcise them. Plus, they would have to deal with the perverts of both genders who thought "nailing" a neko-human was the best thing to do.
Ranma shuddered at remembering some of the comments he heard when female.
Then, of course, had been the shopping. While he had been able to stay hidden in the cloak while shopping for furniture, and telling his mother what Ranko thought of things, she had also insisted on purchasing new clothes...for both of them.
The major problem: Ranma had to try them on...in both forms.
I hate bras! I hate panties! I hate make-up! I hate dresses!
How do you think I felt? It was by sheer persistence we talked her out of trying to set up my marriage. And then she had the nerve to fight us on the point that I will still be a tomboy.
That was another thing that upset the duo. After being without her for ten years, the two were upset that their mother was expecting them to be totally obedient, without will to oppose how she expected them to act. She wanted Ranko to be a perfect Japanese woman, and Ranma to be a manly man, whatever the hell that meant.
About the only thing that Nodoka seemed to want that Ranko was willing to agree with was that she preferred men.
They both agreed that Nodoka would need a very stern talking to. She seemed to be lost in a dream world, muct like Kuno. The woman refused to see that simply wishing them to be something they weren't wasn't going to work. Guilting them wouldn't work either. Nodoka seemed to honestly believe that the two nekos would be as she hoped.
Hell, the children were already hoping not to get uncursed forms, just to upset her even more.
"Mental note: ask the Senshi if we can stay with them. Outlook suggests mother will drive us insane."
"That is a distinct possibility, child."
Ranma turned towards the small figure of Cologne. She had arrived yesterday, and was finishing the preparations for the splitting. "Great-grandmother, is their any chance you can fix this by doing the voodoo that you do so well?"
Cologne smiled, glad that the cursed child still thought of her as family. It warmed her heart more than even when Ranma said she could learn the techniques, as long as she never started a fight with them, only ended them. "I'm afraid not, child. But I will speak with her again. I swear that woman is as stubborn as my own grandmother."
Ranma paled. "Please tell me that she won't be like this for the next three hundred years!"
Cologne laughed. "No, child, she won't."
Before he could relax, she added a quick little bit. "I'm certain she'd be dead before the second hundred."
Ranma started pounding his head into the floor.
Ranko was following suit in the Dreamscape.
The Senshi were all gathered at the Outers' home, waiting for the call from Ranma that they were ready for them. All were nervous, hoping that they would not need to fight their new friends, hoping that they kept themselves in what was about to happen.
The only good news was the arrival of Usa. A quick talk between Usagi and Setsuna, and the future queen had returned with a smile, hugging her daughter as she had rarely done before.
Last night, after the others had begun to leave, Mamoru and Usagi cornered Setsuna, asking her for what may have been impossible, but felt the owed nothing less to Usa.
It had been done.
Usa was anchored to this time now, forever kept from fading out of existence when her timeline ceased to exist.
It was almost doomed anyway, with the way things were going, their future was too uncertain to risk the littlest Senshi on.
They held her as Hotaru told her of the future Setsuna had revealed a week ago, telling them of the horrors of their own making, of the results of their attempts to play gods, and what it had left them.
Usa only cried, even when she was told she was safe, that she wouldn't fade from existence now. Her world was truly gone forever, maybe to never return.
Somehow, it still felt like she had given up so much. Even Setsuna couldn't provide her any comfort, as even the Gates of Time were having trouble following what Ranma's new alliance with them would produce. Only the absence of any warning was all they had to go with.
When asked who had warned them the last time, Setsuna said it had been the Sailor Saturn of that future, fulfilling the desire of her ancestor to help save her friends from themselves.
They all agreed that they would work with Ranma and save this world, being the heroes they were thought of. Michiru was using her mirror, trying to track the seeds of magic that would bring life back to their worlds, allowing for refuge for humanity when the Great Ice came. She was being assisted by Ami on the Mercury Computer, and Rei, trying to do a fire reading from a candle lit by the sacred flame.
It wasn't much, especially for the others, trying to force memories of their past lives to the surface for any clue that might help them, looking deep inside themselves in hope that the secrets were buried there.
But they were still worried. They felt the fear of not knowing when the Great Ice would hit let alone if they would be ready.
All they knew was that in a few short hours, all eleven of them would be going to assist Ranma and Ranko be reborn.
There was no time to think of lost eating contests.
I will defeat you next time, Ranma Saotome! No one out-eats Usagi Tsukino!
There was no time to think of loves lost that everyone thought was still active.
Damn it, why does everyone insist I love this guy? I mean, sure, we clicked together back then, and he was the only guy I ever felt that way for, and... AH! BAD THOUGHTS! BAD THOUGHTS!
There was no time to think of lost chances due to lost tempers.
Oh, Ranma. If only I never attacked you that day, if only I never lost my temper, if only... DAMN IT! USAGI GOT MY MANGAS AGAIN!
There was no time to think of scrolls burnt in spite that may have made them a better fighter.
WAH! Sailor Venus could be kicking everyone's ass if I had just read those damn scrolls!
There was not even time to think of a love one could have, did have, with some future version.
I gave up the Senshi and the dreams of Crystal Tokyo...for him. Why? What did we have then? Could we still have it? Could he still be my one true love? Will I be able to keep Haruka-papa away from him?
All they could think of was saving this world.
And they would start by ensuring they saved the two born of one.
Family and friends gathered at the walls of the dojo, staring towards both the center and those in attendance. They counted every Sailor Soldier ever mentioned, including the often absent Sailor Pluto and Neo Sailor Moon. All were in what they called the strongest forms, lying in wait should the two nekos lose themselves, hoping they would be enough.
Ryoga and Shampoo stood furthest in the dojo, ready to offer what help they could if Ranma and Ranko should lose it. While the two had often spared against Ranma when he was at the Amazon village, they knew he had never gone all out. And since he knew the ki techniques of Heaven and Hell, they doubted they could stop him. Primarily, they were hoping that by being around, they would snap out of the confusion easier.
"Now, child," said Cologne, "this will feel undoubtedly painful, but I want both of your souls to focus on your own body. For the moment, your sibling does not exist. If you falter on this, you may end up in the wrong bodies, and that will require asking the Musk for their permanence water as well as Jusenkyo water, which may have no effect. Do you both understand?"
Everyone watched as Ranma closed his eyes, before opening them once again. "We agree, Elder. We await your instruction on what we should do."
Cologne smiled. "Child, you need only sit at the center of this circle in the lotus position and concentrate. This incense has been soaked in the waters of the Spring of Drowned Twin. Also, this is the splitting incense. Ordinarily, it would split the good and evil of your soul, and allow the evil body to try and steal your life. Now, it has been altered by several spells to create a second body from your cursed side, and draw a soul out. In the end, the new body will be permanent, and have its own soul. The true test is making certain that the soul inside is that of Ranko. Now, are you ready?"
Ranma merely nodded, before taking his position in the circle, awaiting the separation.
In his mind, Ranko had cleared away the Dreamscape, leaving a foggy wasteland, with a similar circle all that was present, with her taking the lotus position in its center.
Good luck, brother. I look forward to seeing you on the outside again.
Same to you, little sister. I hope this works. I look forward to seeing you as well, but promise me one thing.
What we did when we first found each other...never gets told in the light of day. I'm not ashamed, but...do we really want to give these people more ammo to hit us with?
Um...no. Okay, so no tales of how we spent many mental days in the Dreamscape, just ravishing each other—
Stop that!
Cologne sat before the incense, lighting it, and began chanting.
The effects were obvious. The circle glowed, followed by a shimmering light extending from it to the ceiling, locking in the smoke of the incense. Cologne sat outside the circle, continuing the chant as the circle's enclosed space became cloudy.
Ranma and Ranko, however, were trying to keep their mental images of which they were, their minds on the images of their body from the curse. They didn't bother with human bodies, as they had only vague clues of what they looked like anymore. So they concentrated on their neko-human selves, waiting to be free, wanting to be free.
I am Ranma Saotome, a black panther-like neko-human. I am Ranma Saotome, a black panther-like neko-human. I am Ranma Saotome, a black panther-like neko-human.
I am Ranko Saotome, a red tiger-like neko-human. I am Ranko Saotome, a red tiger-like neko-human. I am Ranko Saotome, a red tiger-like neko-human.
So, it continued as the people outside the circle watched in horror, as the single person inside began to scream as if their body was burning from the inside out. But soon, the scream began to sound in two distinct voices.
Slowly, a second figure could be seen, seeming to literally crawl and paw its way out from the main body, before both fell to the ground.
As Cologne finished her chant, the smoke had long since began to fade from the sealed room, revealing two standing neko-humans...who were completely nude and standing on the tattered remains of what had once been Ranma's outfit.
The circle disappeared, vanishing from the dojo's floor as if it had never been there.
Several girls stared, as they not only wanted to comment about the nudity of the two new bodies, but the apparent selfishness of the gods when granting their...attributes.
"Shut up, meatball-head!"
"Damn, Sempai is much...better than I remember him!"
"Oh my!"
"Uncle Saotome, is that engagement idea still open?"
"AIYAH! Shampoo glad she have Airen, no is...too...tempted!"
"Damn you, Ranma! Stop flashing my wife!"
"Neptune, can we—"
"No, no matter how...well...they look."
"I knew there was a reason I left the team for him."
"I love Sailor Moon! I love Sailor Moon!"
Through all the comments, the two simply stood there, eyes closed. Cologne was starting to get a little worried that the spell may have killed them. No, please, not after all they have suffered! The two deserve to live, damn it!
But they proved her fears wrong, opening their eyes and smiling. The male went first, followed by the female.
"I'm Ranma Saotome."
"I'm Ranko Saotome."
Both answered for their final words before passing out to the dojo floor, smiling. "And we're sorry about this."
The newest weapon for the Dark Lord had just teleported to Earth, awaiting permission to attack. It had been told it had but one purpose above all else: to capture Subject Beta, kill if necessary. The Doctor had been very...adamant...about getting his new specimen.
It truly didn't give a damn, one way or the other. It was most interested in its secondary objective: if possible and resources permit after objective one is completed, it may eliminate Subject Group Alpha.
But the only person in Subject Group Alpha is cared about was the one who had...killed...him. He wanted to kill the girl known as Hotaru Tomoe. Her attack and awakening as Sailor Saturn had ruined its hopes for consuming this world.
Now, all it had left, was being some worthless cannon-fodder lackey for a new evil to attack and claim this world.
No, I will be more! I will dominate this world!
I will kill this Dark Lord!
But it had one mission first, and it would not be deterred.
If Sailor Saturn happened to be involved and die in its attempts to capture Subject Beta...who was he to disobey!
But for now, it waited. For some reason, the Dark Lord was shielding him from prying eyes, keeping him hidden even from the infernal Sailor Senshi. So he would wait.
He could do that. After all, he had waited millennia for Mistress 9 to bring him to this world.
What was a few more days to kill the bitches who kept him from it?
Ranma was rubbing his temples, trying to force away the migraine attacking him. "So let me get this straight, one last time." He pointed to Usa. "You are Usagi and Mamoru's daughter from the future, who—with the rest of the Senshi—got drunk—and me, high on catnip—which resulted in all the Senshi getting pregnant. You came back because you sent me out for something five minutes before you arrived here. And in a display of infinite paranoia and stupidity, jumped back into the past to yell at me?"
"Well, when you put it like that, I sound kind of stupid."
Ranma began to rub his temples again. Must...not...insult her. It would make life difficult for my...future self.
He turned his attention to the Neko Sailor Senshi. "And you guys came back in the past to train with me?"
They all answered as one. "Yes!"
"But why aren't you training with my future self?"
Neko Sailor Mars answered, while the rest looked...uncomfortable. "Well, you really don't have much time to train us. Our moms keep you real...busy, especially...her mom."
All the neko-girls shuddered at the sentence.
Though Ranma knew he shouldn't ask—even his danger senses were blaring at him to keep quiet, as if that would prevent the danger from coming—he had to ask. "Um, who are you referring to?"
The girls all looked nervous, before the pushed Neko Sailor Moon forward, mumbling for her to answer, as it was her responsibility as leader.
Pouting, but seeing no support, she broke and answered. "They are talking about the daughter you had with Sailor Sol."
Setsuna finally spoke, breaking her attention away from the green-furred child she would have with Ranma. "Um, there is no Sailor Sol. There never was."
Neko Moon shrank. "You made her to help her in battle with the Dark Lord. The problem is that their...kid...is a little more feral than the rest of us. Probably because both her parents were neko-humans."
Ranma paled...again. "Both...neko... But only I and Ranko are... Are you saying—"
His words were cut off by another flash of light, followed by a weight adding itself to his lap. "DADDY! THEY LEFT WITHOUT ME, DADDY!"
Ranma looked down at...Neo Neko Sailor Sol? "Um, is your mother, Ranko?"
The small bundle of red fur nodded her head in agreement, never releasing her Amazon-like glomp on her father. "Uh huh! She always said you were the only guy for her!"
Ranma's head was spinning. Not only had he apparently fathered eleven other kids with drunken women, but also, he had fathered one...with his own sister! Kami-sama, what did I do? TELL ME! Let me repent now! "So...this is it, right? No more nekos coming back to train with me?"
The neko children looked around. "I think this is it," said Neko Sailor Earth. "That is, of course, unless our brothers come back to train as well."
"BROTHERS!" was the response from all the adults in the room.
"Yeah!" said Sailor Neko Venus. "Our brothers become planetary knights. But they never told us if they decided to come back and train with you as well, Daddy."
As a large flash of light occurred, Ranma decided to use a Saotome Secret Attack.
He fainted...again.
If I messed anything up, then let me know including typos.
Any suggestions on how I should continue the story or improve it would also be accepted.
Also, if you have any suggestions for how this should go, let me know. My own imagination, while vast, always enjoys a new thought. Also, catch me if you don't think I am making the characters true to form, or a way to make them better.
Finally, stop by my website and check out the forum. You'll see some ideas I would like to try later on, as well as partial postings of my stories before the next update. Thanks.

But what if we need ActiveMQ to be asynchronous? Seems easy, just change the exchange pattern to be InOnly for the ActiveMQ call like so:
.inOnly("activemq:queue.test")So now your route returns much faster since it is not waiting on a reply from the ActiveMQ endpoint. Cue the angels....... but wait, what happens when we still need the error handling to catch the JMSException and return a predefined response if..... lets say.... ActiveMQ is down?
With the ExchangePattern set to InOnly, you will see in SOAPUI that you just get an empty soap message. So what happened to the predefined response? If you have logging in you processor or bean that loads the response, you will see that it is still hitting your code, but it is not return the response for some reason.
THE REASON: The reason is you have an ExchangePattern of InOnly set when you run the onException code, this is causing the camel route to return before your processor is finished processing. So your exception processing does not effect the return to the CXF endpoint.
THE SOLUTION: you need to specify the onException portion of your route to be InOut using the following:
.onException(Exception.class).handle(true).setExchangePattern(ExchangePattern.InOut).processRef(myProcessor)Now you should see your processor defined response from the onException getting passed back to the endpoint.

Until a few years ago, Zynga (NASDAQ:ZNGA) was a very promising company with high growth prospects. However, for some time now, the company has been facing risky challenges such as falling audience metrics, lower bookings and decreasing revenues. As a result, Zynga started to decrease the company's cost base. One month ago, the company also hired a new CEO to fix these issues. Despite these initiatives, the company's future is still dark, even if the company has a huge cash pile. In this paper, I'm going to focus on three metrics, which say very clearly: Zynga is a value trap.
Audience Metrics
From Q1 2012, these three metrics are falling quarter over quarter at an impressive rate. Daily Active Users (DAUs) tumbled from 72 million to 39 million, having decrease by 45% in just 5 quarters. Monthly Active Users (MAUs) and Monthly Unique Users (MUUs) followed the same trend.
It is alarming because it shows that Zynga's business model is currently at risk. The company cannot maintain its audience metrics, which constitutes a problem right now. It is mainly due to the fact that Zynga has to release more hit games to attract casual gamers. While Zynga was the leader in social gaming, other companies such as King, which released the well-known Candy Crush, are taking a huge part of the social gaming pie. Currently, Zynga's biggest issue is to maintain attractiveness of its core games, such as FarmVille.
First, what is "bookings"? Zynga describes bookings as: a non-GAAP financial measure that is equal to revenue recognized during the period plus the change in deferred revenue during the period.
Bookings for the current year (2013) will be lower than the previous year, which means the trend of the last four years will be broken up. It is another alarming sign of Zynga's problems. On a quarterly basis, bookings have decreased from $329 million in Q1 2012, to $188 million in Q2 2013, having decrease by 43%.
Zynga's revenues depend heavily on hit games such as FarmVille or CityVille, which tend to generate a significant amount of revenues quarter over quarter. Nevertheless, it is very difficult for the company to release such a game every one or two quarters. As you can see in the graphic below, revenues from 'big games' tend to decline quickly after two or three quarters because players get bored. In fact, Zynga is facing increasing competition in its core market, which impacts negatively its sales. Actually, users are moving to new attractive games made by competitors. As a result, the company has lower margins and higher capital expenditures.
In its 2012 annual report, Zynga stated:
We expect that our revenue and bookings will decline in the first quarter of 2013. In addition, we believe that our operating margin will continue to experience downward pressure as a result of increasing competition and the need for increased operating expenditures for many aspects of our business.
On a quarterly basis, Zynga's revenues tumbled from $321 million in Q1 2012, to $231 million in Q2 2013, having decrease by 30%.
Zynga forecasts revenues to be in the range of $175 to $200 million and bookings to be in the range of $125 million to $150 million. The company doesn't provide any guidance regarding its DAU, MAU and MUU.
Zynga is facing increasing challenges regarding its future because the social gaming market is starting to become more competitive. In my opinion, the company needs to diversify its business. The real money gambling was a big opportunity and I don't understand why the CEO says Zynga won't enter this new market in the future. But, the company is currently focusing on decreasing its cost base to improve its margins and profitability. Moreover, Zynga still has a huge cash pile of approximately $1.1 billion, which constitutes a safety buffer.

U.S. Senator Judd Gregg (R-NH) today cosponsored two amendments to the Fiscal Year 2010 Emergency Supplemental Appropriations bill to increase the federal government's commitment to secure our nation's southern border. The first amendment, sponsored by Senator John Cornyn (R-TX), would vastly increase the number of Border Patrol agents, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel, counterdrug enforcement and firearm trafficking personnel, in addition to providing needed funds for unmanned aerial vehicles and helicopters. A second amendment by Senator John McCain (R-AZ) would provide for at least 6,000 National Guard troops to be deployed to the southern border to assist U.S. Customs and Border Protection personnel in their efforts. Both of these amendments are deficit-neutral and fully paid for by redirecting funds from the $787 billion stimulus that have not yet been obligated.
Senator Gregg stated, "Securing the southern border with Mexico is absolutely critical to our national security. Unfortunately, prior to this week, this Administration has allowed the issue to fall by the wayside, exacerbating tensions along the border, increasing immigration violations and potentially allowing terrorists into our country without our knowledge. Although I support the President's call for an additional 1,200 National Guardsmen to be sent to the southern border, it is simply not enough. We must provide the resources needed to fully secure the southern border immediately. These two amendments are fiscally responsible and will take unobligated stimulus funds to put the necessary personnel in place to do just that. As I have said before, we should address immigration reform, but not until the southern border is secured."
Background: Sen. Gregg Committed to Strengthening U.S. Borders and Immigration Enforcement
As former Chairman and current member of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security, Senator Gregg has a long history of supporting robust efforts to secure our nation's borders. Among other successful accomplishments, Senator Gregg authored an amendment to the FY 2008 Homeland Security Appropriations Act that provided $3 billion in emergency funding for a variety of border security initiatives and mandated that the Department of Homeland Security obtain operational control over the U.S.-Mexico land border. His efforts to shape policies and provide needed funds for the Department of Homeland Security -- including U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) -- have resulted in increased resources, personnel and technology for securing U.S. borders and enforcing immigration laws. As a direct result of these efforts, the Department of Homeland Security has been able to accomplish the following:
* The construction of several hundreds of miles of pedestrian and vehicle fencing;
* More than 30,000 detention beds and the ending of DHS's "catch-and-release" policy along the Southwest border;
* More than 20,000 CBP agents;
* The removal of hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants, and the initiation of removal proceedings against criminal aliens in our nation's prisons;
* The majority of states and municipalities are now involved in the 287(g) program, up from only 2 in 2005. Under this program, ICE helps train and provides resources to state and local law enforcement to investigate, detain, and arrest aliens on civil and criminal grounds.

Did A Fox News Host Just Endorse The Public Health Care Option?
Fox News host and conservative firebrand Eric Bolling proposed a health care alternative that bears striking resemblance to the public option, a government-issued insurance program that was originally considered as part of the health care reform law that was the target of his network.
On the February 11 edition of Fox's The Five, Bolling reacted to news that the Affordable Care Act's employer mandate was being delayed for some businesses [1] by suggesting Republicans replace the ACA's mandate to purchase insurance with an optional government-issued alternative. Bolling said this plan would have the benefit of driving "all the prices down" in the health care market, and expressed puzzlement about "why the Republicans don't do this":
Bolling is right [2] that a government-issued health care alternative would inject competition into the market and lower health care costs, but his suggestion that Republicans propose it is mystifying. In fact, that exact proposal, known as the public option, was originally included in but later removed from versions of what would later become the Affordable Care Act in both the House and Senate, and was attacked [3] by Republicans [4] like Sen. Orrin Hatch as "a Trojan horse for a single-payer system." In a Wall Street Journal op-ed, Karl Rove, who would later become Bolling's colleague at Fox, claimed [5] that "If Democrats enact a public-option health-insurance program, America is on the way to becoming a European-style welfare state."
Bolling's support for the plan is surprising for a number of reasons. First, he was clearly aware of the existence of the public option. During his tenure at Fox Business, he covered the proposal on the air, exploring [6] Sen. Claire McCaskill's (D-MO) support for a version of the public option. Also his current network, Fox News, led [7] opposition [8] to the public option, even going so far as to direct its journalists [9] to replace the phrase "public option" with "government option" or "government-run plan," phrases that were shown from a pollster to generate disapproval.
Bolling is one of Fox's most vocal critics of the Affordable Care Act, legislation that he has labeled [10] a "socialist system" despite the fact that it involves significantly less government involvement than the plan he appeared to endorse.

Who wouldn't want stronger, healthier and shinier hair? Whilst many people tend to jump from one hair product to the next in order to reach their desired level of softness and shine, they tend to 'brush off' (pun intended) other lifestyle factors that can lead to poor hair health. Just like skin, the condition of your hair tends to reflect your inner health, so it's worth remembering that although using natural haircare products can make a big difference, good hair starts from the inside out: this means 'feeding' it with the right nutrients and looking after your scalp too. So we've put together some #Contentapproved tips to give you a head start in your quest for healthy, shiny locks: from diet to organic haircare essentials.
A balanced diet filled with plenty of greens, healthy fats and good quality protein will always benefit the condition of your hair. But if you have been under prolonged stress or have not been so diligent with your diet you might want to give it a helping hand with a few of our favourite minerals and vitamins.
Omega-3: These are crucial for hair and scalp health as they provide essential oils to help keep hair and scalp hydrated. Our bodies don't naturally produce them, so we must turn to our diet to get our fill.
The beauty is that they can help it you have oily hair OR dull and lacklustre hair. Omega-3's help to balance the production of sebum, which is regulated by hormone levels. By regularly incorporating oily fish, grass-feed lamb and beef, walnuts, flaxseeds, avocado, and pumpkin seeds in your diet it will help balance the condition of your hair and scalp. You can also support your intake with daily supplements like MorEPA Platinum by Minami Nutrition and Terra Nova's Organic Omega 3,6,7,9 Oil Blend. The important thing to remember is that your larger organs will use the Omega 3 oil first and areas like skin, hair and scalp will be the last to see the benefits so stick with it for at least three months to see results.
Protein: Don't underestimate protein for hair health! The hair is made of structural proteins known as keratin. If your hair is breaking or needs a boost, maybe check if you have adjusted the type or quantity of protein in your diet. One of our favourite sources is eggs: in fact, eggs have a long history of being used in make-your-own hair masks. Switching to natural haircare products that contain protein can also help, Rahua use quinoa protein in their natural haircare range, while Less is More use wheat proteins in their shampoo and balms and John Masters Organics use a mix of wheat and soy proteins.
Zinc are essential minerals for hair health. It can help regulate the body's ability to make new proteins that will become building blocks of healthy hair and nails. Hair dryness and brittleness can be signs of zinc deficiency. If you are suffering from hair loss it might be worth checking your zinc levels with a Naturopath. Natural sources of zinc are oysters, red meat, poultry, shellfish and certain legumes and grains. We like to keep our levels healthy with a daily dose of the Terra Nova Zinc Complex internally. Topically, we use the John Masters Organics Zinc and Sage Shampoo with Conditioner.
Biotin: Biotin (aka vitamin H or B7) is great for improving the quality of thinning, splitting hair as well as nails. In nature it can be found in bananas, eggs, beans, cauliflower, lentils, peanuts and salmon. We love the food-state supplement Synergy Co's Super B-Complex.
Silica is an essential trace element, which your body needs for healthy hair and skin. It helps to strengthen your blood vessels to improve circulation, which can stimulate the blood flow to your scalp and encourage hair, nails and bone growth. However as we get older, our levels of silica decline alongside our ability to absorb silica. It's easy to top up on silica via your diet as it's found in whole grains such as oats, rye, millet and barley, and vegetables - cucumber, artichokes, beetroot, asparagus and celery, tomatoes and more.
Selenium functions as an antioxidant, which helps rid your body of the harmful effects of sun and environment exposure. It also supports the body's ability to maintain its proper functions, including hair growth. Brazil nuts are an excellent source. Other selenium-rich foods include garlic, whole grains and sunflower seeds.
Both selenium and silica can be found in hair, skin and nails multivitamins like the Terra Nova Beauty Complex which use horsetail and nettle as a natural sources of silica, and rice bran for its selenium content. They also contain Zinc and Vitamin C so give a balanced level of hair healthy nutrients.
As well as eating right, it's essential to look after your hair and scalp with the right care. Get our tips on caring for your hair here.

BOSS Eddie Howe and midfielder Harry Arter both refused to use as an excuse for Cherries' defeat at Charlton the state of the playing surface.
The pitch, which appeared to have been heavily watered ahead of kick-off, was in a poor condition and had a number of bare patches.
Howe said: "It was certainly not ideal, especially for our brand of football. You can warn players and prepare for it but, ultimately, there isn't a lot you can do. We can't change the way we play because our players aren't built for it so we had to try to manage it as best we could."
And Arter added: "If we had won, we probably wouldn't have mentioned it but the surface wasn't great at all.
"It was probably one of the worst pitches I had played on throughout my career and that is probably going down to Conference South level.
"It was a poor pitch and it is a shame pitches get to that state at this time of year but I am sure it was just down to the weather. It didn't make for a great spectacle and I am sure it wasn't the best game to watch."
Meanwhile, boss Howe confirmed winger Matt Ritchie had been unavailable for the trip to The Valley due to illness.
