Photo of Bill Jennings speaking at a Restore the Delta protest outside of the Delta Stewardship Council meeting in West Sacramento on March 16.  800_img_2492.jpg original image ( 5184x3456) Delta Stewardship Council says Westlands lawsuit is 'disappointing' by Dan Bacher Chris Knopp, Executive Officer of the Delta Stewardship Council, on May 30 released a statement complaining that the Westlands Water District lawsuit filed in Sacramento Superior Court seeking a redo of the Council's recently adopted Final Delta Plan was "disappointing." In a rare moment in California water politics, everybody who spoke during the public comment period during the Council meeting in West Sacramento on May 16 opposed the plan. Everybody from fishing group representatives to the Metropolitan Water District representative slammed the plan and Environmental Impact Report, though for different reasons. (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/05/17/1209844/- Delta-Stewardship-Council-Adopts-Plan-Amidst-Massive-Opposition) "The lawsuit filed recently by the Westlands Water District and San Luis Delta Mendota Water Authority is disappointing, but not unexpected," said Knapp. "In essence, this suit challenges the adequacy of the Environmental Impact Report under the California Environmental Quality Act, and the Council's authority under, and compliance with, the Delta Reform Act. Neither avenues of challenge, in our opinion, have merit." "The Delta Reform Act clearly tasks the Council with developing an enforceable management plan for the Delta that furthers the coequal goals of a reliable water supply for California and protection and enhancement of the Delta ecosystem," he claimed. "As we have stated all along, the Council's Delta Plan is a moderate and reasonable path forward that is consistent with the requirements and authorities granted by Delta Reform Act. The Plan contains a mix of targeted regulatory policies, nonbinding recommendations, and a strong emphasis on interagency coordination." "The approach advocated by plaintiffs—one purely facilitative and without regulatory effect—is inconsistent with the Delta Reform Act and resolving the ongoing crisis in the Delta," Knopp stated. "It is unfortunate that these two public water agencies would rather waste time in court than certify that they are using water efficiently and are in compliance with existing state laws and regulations." "While we will strongly defend this lawsuit, the Council is committed to working with all the stakeholders to begin implementation of this important and foundational Delta Plan," said Knopp. Westlands said it joined the San Luis and Delta-Mendota Water Authority in the lawsuit filed on May 24 to require the Delta Stewardship Council to revise the Delta Plan "to be consistent with the 2009 Delta Reform Act, which created the Council," according to a Westlands Water District press release. "In particular, the action asserts that the Delta Plan fails to achieve the co-equal goals of Delta ecosystem restoration and water supply reliability established by the Act," the district said. Tom Birmingham, General Manager of the Westlands Water District, also said, "The fundamental problem with the Delta Plan is that it goes well beyond the statutory authority granted by the Legislature. That extension of authority will impact the ability of the State to manage current water supplies and develop new infrastructure to secure California's future needs." (http://yubanet.com/california/Dan- Bacher-Westlands-Water-District-Files-Lawsuit-Against-Delta-Plan.php) The complaint also claims the Council failed to prepare and certify a legally adequate EIR for the Delta Plan. "For every resource area in the PEIR, the discussions of project impacts, mitigation measures, and conclusions fail to meet this standard and violate CEQA because they consist of mere speculation and unsupported assumptions...," according to the complaint. The complete court documents are available at the Maven's Notebook website at: http://mavensnotebook.com/2013/05/28/court-documents-for- delta-plan-lawsuit/#more-4102 In response to the Council's statement, Bill Jennings, Executive Director of the California Sportfishing Protection Alliance and a board member of Restore the Delta and the California Water Impact Network (C-WIN), quipped, "If the Council is disappointed by the Westlands lawsuit, they will be appalled by the avalanche of lawsuits from everyone else that is coming down the road." "I remind the Council that by developing a seriously deficient plan and a grossly inadequate EIR that supports the status quo rather than finding solutions to the water crisis, they have have ushered in the next generation of water wars," said Jennings. "Fishermen, Westlands Water District and San Luis Delta Mendota Water Authority can all agree that the plan and the EIR failed to meet even the minimum statutory requirements." In his testimony before the Council on May 16, Jennings describe the Delta Plan as "a classic shell game to benefit special interests that if implemented, would represent a death sentence for one of the world's great estuaries." The Delta Plan was developed under the helm of Phil Isenberg, Chair of the Delta Stewardship Council, who previously served as Chair of the privately-funded Marine Life Protection Act (MLPA) Initiative Blue Ribbon Task Force to create so-called "marine protected areas" on California's Central Coast. Isenberg also served as Chair of Arnold Schwarzenegger's Delta Vision Blue Ribbon Task Force, which recommended the construction of a peripheral canal or tunnels. As was the case in the parallel Marine Life Protection Act Initiative, Delta Vision and Bay Delta Conservation Plan "collaborative" processes, the goal of the Delta Stewardship Council was to present a façade of an "open and transparent" process where the "input" of the "stakeholders" was considered when the outcome of the process was predetermined by state officials and corporate interests.

8th Sharjah Biennial, 2007
Still LifeArt, Ecology and the Politics of Change
The 8th Sharjah Biennial is the third edition directed by Hoor Al Qasimi.
In 2002 she was able to assert essential changes in the concept of the Biennial,
which exists since 1993. For the second time, she works together with Jack
Persekian as artistic director. The curatorial team presently supporting them
includes the Dubai based artist Mohammed Kazem, who participated in several
previous Sharjah Biennials, the Swiss curator and critic Eva Scharrer as well
as Jonathan Watkins, who since 1999 is the art director of the Ikon Gallery,
Birmingham, Great Britain.
This year's theme is by far not a novel one, but en vogue again. The
organizers propose to view "art as a way of creating a better understanding
about our relationship with nature and the environment, whilst considering
its social, political and cultural dimensions in an interdisciplinary way." Furthermore,
the official communiqués state that this position is not a judgmental
exercise on how people ought to live, but a general statement of concern in "the
light of contemporary culture" in its broadest sense. The 8th Sharjah
Biennial aims to be both a "celebration of the natural world and a response
to the countless alarms being set off as a result of human thoughtlessness." Simultaneously, one is aware of the fact that one is part of the problem – as a participant of the consumer society and of the global art jet-setting community,
as well as by conducting the Biennial in a country with an enormous energy

By Noel Randewich
Wall Street fell sharply on Tuesday as investors worried that President Donald Trump will struggle to deliver promised tax cuts that propelled the market to record highs in recent months, with nervousness increasing ahead of a key healthcare vote.The S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average lost around 1 percent and were on track for their worst one-day percentage declines since before Trump's election victory in November. The S&P financial index .SPSY dropped 2.47 percent and was heading for its biggest daily fall since June. That added to losses in the sector since the Federal Reserve last week raised interest rates by 25 basis points and signalled it would remain on a gradual pace of hikes, a less aggressive stance than some investors expected. Banks benefit from higher interest rates and their stocks are sensitive to changes in expectations of how quickly the Fed will change rates.Bank of America (BAC.N) slumped 5.48 percent, the biggest drag on the S&P 500, while a 2.98 percent drop in Goldman Sachs (GS.N) pulled the Dow lower."There was a feeling the Fed was going to possibly be more hawkish last week. That didn't happen," said Mark Kepner, managing director at Themis Trading in Chatham, New Jersey. "That takes a little out of the higher rates that the banks want." Benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasuries US10YT=RR were last up 10/32 in price to yield 2.44 percent, the lowest yield since March 1.
Republican party leaders aim to move controversial healthcare legislation to the House floor for debate as early as Thursday. But they can only afford to lose about 20 votes from Republican ranks, or risk the bill failing, since minority Democrats are united against it. With valuations stretched, investors see the Trump administration's struggles to push through the healthcare overhaul as a sign he may also face setbacks delivering promised corporate tax cuts. Expectations of those tax cuts are a major reason for the 10-percent surge in the S&P 500 since Trump's election in November. "The market is starting to get a little fed up with the lack of progress in healthcare because everything else is being put on the back burner," said RJ Grant, head of trading at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods in New York.
The Russell 2000 index of smallcap stocks was down 2.13 percent, on pace for its worst day since September. The financial sector has been the best performing of the 11 major S&P sectors since Trump's election, surging nearly 20 percent on his proposals to cut bank regulations and reduce taxes. The Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI was down 0.97 percent at 20,702.71 points, while the S&P 500 .SPX lost 1.05 percent to 2,348.52.The Nasdaq Composite .IXIC dropped 1.49 percent to 5,813.39.
The CBOE Volatility index .VIX, Wall Street's "fear gauge", jumped 7 percent. Under Trump, Wall Street has become unaccustomed to steep selloffs. The last time the S&P 500 lost 1 percent or more in a day was 110 trading sessions ago on October 11. Over the past two years, the S&P 500 has suffered losses of 1-percent or more about once every 11 sessions, according to Thomson Reuters data. But investors have grown concerned about elevated valuations. The S&P 500 is trading at about 18 times forward earnings estimates against the long-term average of 15, according to Thomson Reuters data. Declining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by a 3.68-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 4.48-to-1 ratio favoured decliners.The S&P 500 posted 26 new 52-week highs and 7 new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 73 new highs and 69 new lows.

Described as the 'peak of innovation', the 'T90 Ascente' has been two years in the making and claims to be the fastest, most accurate football ever made.
It was tested at top-level club's training grounds last season, with player feedback helping to shape the final product.
"The feedback we have got from testing it at our elite level clubs is it's 'best ball they've ever played with'," explains Rafael Ortega, Nike's global product manager.
New graphics featured on the ball have been designed to create a 'flicker' effect, supposedly making it more visible in in players' peripheral vision and therefore reducing reaction times.
And a new 'micro-textured' surface is said to increase accuracy following extensive research, including the use of using wind tunnels.
The ball will be used in the Premier League, La Liga and Serie A, although each country's ball will have a differently coloured design.

I thought I would tell you all what has been going on with me. First, I am still wrestling with the vertigo but doing so much better. Just in time for an asthmatic chest cold! My physical therapist says it is part of the virus that is causing the vertigo. (I'm doing PT for the vertigo)
Anyway, in the midst of all this I am the vocal coach for a children's theatre company, we are doing the musical "Alice in Wonderland.". I'm trying to teach the kids the music with a voice that sounds like a frog and lungs that are sucking air. :-). Ya gotta laugh or you'll cry. Somehow it is working cause the kids are doing great!
If that's not enough my mom ended up in the hospital and my sister just had surgery Monday for a total knee replacement. So this is the long explanation for why I haven't crafted.
Can you tell I'm heading for the cliff? Not really, the Lord has been so good to me through out it all. I'm sleeping like a baby and am blessed with a very supportive husband. And...have I mentioned that I am going to be a grandma? My daughter Ashley is pregnant with my first grandchild. I am sssssooooo excited!!
So I'm not really complaining just rambling. I'm hoping by the end of the week I can get into my craft room. I have so many things I want to make and share with you! In the meantime...
God bless and have a grateful day,

Firecracker Shrimp Salad
I made this salad using The Pioneer Woman's Firecracker Shrimp, which is delicious on its own as well as in this salad, and is so so easy to make. I agree with her that Sriracha is the best hot sauce choice, so definitely use that when making this recipe. I don't skewer the shrimp before putting them on my grill pan, call me lazy.
I love shrimp, of course fresh is the best, but I stock up on frozen uncooked shrimp as it thaws and cooks up quickly, which is perfect for weeknight dinners.
For this salad I used fresh shrimp that I picked up on sale at the store and tossed it with mixed greens, avocado, corn, grape tomatoes, cucumbers, black beans, and onions. I threw on a little ranch dressing as it helped balance the very spicy shrimp (because I always use extra Sriracha). I'll be making this again, very soon.

At present, the patch 4.1 for Final Fantasy XIV drop, titled " The Legend Returns", featured yet another exciting single-player encounter that was not only designed as a fun combat encounter framed within the story but also featured some new and light gameplay mechanics. We could make an offline version of FFXIV, with a style limitation: " If you want to see the more content of the story, you have to play normal FFXIV. Of course, at FFXIV4Gil, players have the possibility of buying cheap Final Fantasy XIV Gil.
Since the official 2.0 reboot of Square Enix's now-esteemed MMO, the dungeons and other teamwork-related content have steadily improved over the years. The entire 2.0 storyline mostly consisted of the Warrior of Light entering a single-player instance, killing a bunch of trash mobs and then maybe interacting with a shiny object or two. Time passes and the flagship MMORPG of the studio is growing visibly.
Square Enix:" in terms of development, we always start by creating the terrain and ecosystem of the area, then we think about the types of monsters we can add." The world of Final Fantasy XIV already covers many possibilities, whether with exploration on the ground, in the air, under water. Even if in terms of animations, it would not be so different from swimming.
With the Final Fantasy XIV the 4.15 update, Square Enix said:" we will add a new system called " interpretation actions", which allows bards to play music. So, in addition to the new content provided by the extensions, we are also thinking about adding features like this, to give more role-play possibilities to players." Continue to know more about the interview of Square Enix, please keep an eye on FFXIV4Gil.

Gallium Nitride for Power Applications
Gabe Moretti, Senior Editor
Gallium nitride (GaN) has long been used in LED devices and other optoelectronic devices with high power and high frequency requirements. It can work at much higher temperatures and voltages than gallium arsenide (GaAs) for example and thus it is also used in military and space applications.
A few days ago X-FAB and Exagan announced that they have produced GaN-on-Silicon devices on 200-mm wafers.
X-FAB, whose headquarter is in Germany, is a leading analog/mixed-signal and MEMS foundry group manufacturing silicon wafers for automotive, industrial, consumer, medical and other applications. The company operates one fab in the USA, specifically in Lubbock Texas where it fabricates mixed-signal devices. It also operates other fabs both in Europe and in Asia.
Founded in 2014 with support from CEA-Leti and Soitec, Exagan is based in Grenoble, France. its mission is to accelerate the power electronics industry's transition from silicon-based technology to GaN-on-silicon technology, enabling smaller and more efficient electrical converters.
The two companies have demonstrated mass-production capability to manufacture highly efficient high-voltage power devices on 200-mm GaN-on-silicon wafers using X-FAB's standard CMOS production facility in Dresden, Germany.
Exagan and X-FAB have successfully resolved many of the challenges related to material stress, defectivity and process integration while using standard fabrication equipment and process recipes. Combined with the use of 200-mm wafers, this will significantly lower the cost of mass producing GaN-on-silicon devices. By enabling greater power integration than silicon ICs, GaN devices can improve the efficiency and reduce the cost of electrical converters, which will accelerate their adoption in applications including electrical vehicle charging stations, servers, automobiles and industrial systems.
The industry's previous work with GaN had been limited to 100-mm and 150-mm wafers due to the challenges of layering GaN films on silicon substrates. Exagan's G-Stack technology enables GaN-on-silicon devices to be manufactured more cost effectively on 200-mm substrates by depositing a unique stack of GaN and strain-management layers that relieves the stress between GaN and silicon layers. The resulting devices have been shown to exhibit high breakdown voltage, low vertical leakage and high-temperature operation.
The new GaN-on-silicon devices have been built using substrates fabricated at Exagan's 200- mm epi-manufacturing facility in Grenoble, France. These epi wafers meet the physical and electrical specifications to produce Exagan's 650-volt G-FET devices as well as the tight requirements for compatibility with CMOS manufacturing lines.

Petition by former Miami Hurricanes coach Frank Haith denied
Frank Haith will have to wait a little longer to find out who may have snooped on his bank records as part of the NCAA investigation into the University of Miami and incarcerated rogue booster Nevin Shapiro.
Haith, now at the University of Missouri, asked a judge to allow Bank of America employees to be deposed to see if they gave unauthorized parties access to his checking account during the investigation.
A federal judge in Miami on Friday denied the petition, saying Haith did not have legal basis for seeking court-issued subpoenas unless he files a lawsuit.
"The judge ruled that we couldn't seek the information under Rule 27 [which allows pre-lawsuit depositions], but we could get all that information from the bank if we file a lawsuit," said Haith's attorney, Michael Buckner. "We plan to explore all his options, including, but not limited to, a lawsuit against Bank of America. The denial of the petition has nothing to do with the validity of Coach Haith's claims. We still plan to find out who accessed his bank records."
In October 2012, Haith and his wife, Pamela, became suspicious of a possible privacy breach when they asked the bank, at the request of the NCAA, for microfiches of three checks and were told someone else had already requested them. If a Bank of America employee or agent permitted an unknown party to view or procure the records, it could be a violation of federal and state laws.
Haith had been asked by the NCAA to provide copies of three $3,200 checks dated June 10, 2010. They were made out to his assistant coaches Jorge Fernandez, Jake Morton and Michael Schwartz. He says they were payments for their work at his camp. The NCAA suspects the money was used to pay back $10,000 to Shapiro that he says he had given Morton to help secure a recruit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to some of the questions that you may have in your ordering process.
How many shirts or hoodies do we need to order?
The minimum for an order is 6 total products (T-Shirts or Hoodies).
This means that you can order any combination of shirts or hoodies, just as long as there are a total of 6 items being purchased.
Can we have two different designs or colors?
Because of the amount of shirts we produce, it is necessary to have the all the shirts and hoodies be the same design and color for your unit.
If you want to have a different design on the another shirt or hoodie, you will need to place a separate order for that design or shirt color.
Do we have to order the shirts for a camp?
No, you can still choose any of the shirt or hoodie designs and simply choose to not have the camp name over the insignia found on the sleeve or pocket.
You may also choose to have the Camp name on the T-Shirts, but not on the Hoodies, or vice-versa.
What if we forget to order a shirt for someone?
Almost every Camp will have all of the shirts available in a variety of sizes in their Trading Post. However, those shirts or hoodies will have the camp name on them, and will not have your unit number.
How long does it take to get our shirts or hoodies?
You will need to allow a minimum of 3 weeks from the time we receive your order to the time you receive your shirts. We recommend ordering at least 4 weeks before your camp arrival date so that you have your shirts a week in advance and can distribute to your unit.
How will our shirts or hoodies be delivered?
Your shirts and/or hoodies will be shipped as a complete order to the address you choose (which can be different from the billing address if needed), and will be shipped directly using FedEx. The shipping costs are calculated depending upon the number of shirts or hoodies ordered, and the amount will be shown in the checkout process.

1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Anaheim, CA
Anaheim Convention Center, Room 206B
Event Description
NISO will be holding its annual Standards Update session during the ALA Conference on Sunday, June 24, 2012, from 1:30 - 3:30 p.m. Although library software is now undergoing many major shifts, almost all of NISO's current work still affects, and is affected by, what's going on in the software that libraries and their patrons utilize. Come hear about the challenges in the current landscape, the new requirements which are now apparent, and how NISO participants are responding to the need for new standards and best practices.
This session is free and open to the public. No registration is required. Visit the NISO@ALA Annual 2012 webpage for more information on this session and other standards-related programs at ALA. Stop in and visit us at booth #627.
1:30 - 1:50 p.m.: Welcome & Introduction
Todd Carpenter, Executive Director, NISO
1:50 - 2:10 p.m. How and why librarians must participate in shaping the future of library management systems
Carl Grant, educator, librarian & independent library consultant with CARE Affiliates, Inc.
View Presentation Slides
This talk is going to look at the major trends in library systems, the major trends in librarianship and identify areas where librarians need to be actively involved to ensure that systems will support where the profession is heading. Looking at major trends including hosting, cloud computing, discovery, demand-driven acquisitions, resource management and others, this talk will provide a brief overview of efforts underway, as well as areas where efforts are needed.
2:10 - 2:25 p.m. ERM Data Review: Gap Analysis Project
Tim Jewell, Director, Information Resources, Collections and Scholarly Communication, University of Washington; Chair, ERM Data Review Working Group
View Presentation Slides
Jewell will discuss the work of, and the final report from, the NISO ERM Data Standards and Best Practices Review Working Group, Making Good on the Promise of ERM: A Standards and Best Practices Discussion Paper, which was published earlier this year. The document details gap analysis that the group performed in five categories: Link Resolvers and Knowledge Bases; The Work, Manifestations, and Access Points; Cost and Usage-Related Data; License Terms and Defining Consensus; and Data Exchange Using Institutional Identifiers, and explains its recommendations for further action in these areas.
2:25 - 2:45 p.m. NCIP and SIP
Mike Dicus, Product Manager, Ex Libris; Chair, NCIP Standing Committee & Rob Walsh, EnvisionWare; Maintenance Agency Representative
View Presentation Slides
NCIP (NISO Circulation Interchange Protocol, also known as Z39.83) is a North American standard with implementations in the US, Canada, and many other countries around the world. NCIP services facilitate the automation of tasks, the exchange of data, the ability to provide information to library staff, and the empowerment of patrons. Each service is comprised of a request from an initiating application and a reply from a responding application. It is possible for a single software application to play both the initiation and responding roles, but typically there are at least two applications involved. The NCIP Standing Committee reviews status of implementations and other general business on monthly calls, and reviews ongoing updates to NCIP. Dicus and Walsh will provide an update on the group's latest activities.
A new project to formalize the Standard Interchange Protocol (SIP) has recently been approved by NISO Voting members. The SIP protocol provides a mechanism for Integrated Library Systems (ILS) applications and self-service devices to communicate seamlessly to perform self-service transactions. Walsh will report on the next steps for this standardization project.
2:45 - 3:00 p.m. Open Discovery Initiative
Marshall Breeding, Independent Consultant and Founder of Library Technology Guides; Co-Chair, ODI Working Group
View Presentation Slides
The Open Discovery Initiative (ODI) aims at defining standards and/or best practices for the new generation of library discovery services that are based on indexed search. As one of its first activities, the work group developed a revised version of its charge, ensuring that it covered all the major tasks within the understood scope of the initiative and that it addressed issues related to each of the major stakeholder groups: publishers, discovery service creators, and libraries. The workgroup has now entered its information gathering phase. Task groups consisting of working group members have been organized and leaders appointed to reach out to interested parties involved with each of the stakeholder groups to identify issues, problems, or other points of information the workgroup needs to have at its disposal as it develops its recommendations or proposals.
3:00 - 3:15 p.m. New NISO Work Item: Recommended Practices for Demand-Driven Acquisition (DDA) of Monographs
Michael Levine-Clark, Collections Librarian, Professor, Penrose Library, University of Denver
View Presentation Slides
NISO Voting Members are currently evaluating a new work item proposal for the creation of a Recommended Practice in the area of demand-driven acquisition (DDA). The outcome of this vote will be available the week before ALA. DDA allows libraries to provide users with immediate access to a wide range of titles to be purchased at the point of need, and many libraries are using e-book aggregators and approval vendors to implement DDA plans for some portion of their monograph collections. As it is clear that DDA will be adopted on some scale by libraries, publishers, vendors, and librarians need to help shape practices and tools in a way that allows the scholarly communication supply chain to continue to function effectively. The goal of the working group, if approved, will be to develop a flexible model for DDA that works for publishers, vendors, aggregators, and libraries. This model will allow libraries to develop DDA plans that meet differing local collecting and budgetary needs while also allowing consortial participation and cross-aggregator implementation.
3:15 - 3:30 p.m. Additional NISO Initiatives; Wrap-up
Todd Carpenter, Executive Director, NISO

New research reveals that lethal stings from box jellyfish can be treated with zinc.
"For over 60 years researchers have sought to understand the horrifying speed and potency of the venom of the Australian box jellyfish, arguably the most venomous animal in the world," explained lead researcher Angel Yanagihara from the University of Hawaii.
Yanagihara and colleagues extracted venom from the jellyfish and tested it on human blood. They found that the venom of box jellyfish kills by creating holes in human red blood cells which "can cause an avalanche of reactions in cells," Yanagihara explained. "This includes an almost instantaneous, massive release of potassium that can cause acute cardiovascular collapse and death."
The researchers were able to treat the human blood cells with a zinc compound that inhibits the chain reaction and can even slow the hole-forming process. Administering zinc as soon as possible may be life-saving technique.

Everybody knows that I'm not a girly-girl, right? These fingers haven't seen a manicure in years, and I'd rather be in the garden than sitting under a dryer in foils to get my color "just right."
While that's the path I've chosen for myself, I want Little Peanut to make her own decisions. Blaze her own trail, ya know. Embrace her girly-girl if that's what she wants.
In that spirit, I moseyed over to Target to pick up some shorts for her. Maybe something pink, with sparkles, Hello Kitty…I dunno. This is what I found:
Um….excuse me?!? Kids' clothing designers? I already took you to task about footy pajamas. Apparently now we need to talk about little girls' shorts.
I got no problem with the ruffles.
I got no problem with the stripes.
But for Heaven's sake, how about an extra couple of inches in the length?!?
Yes, I know I'm ranting. I know she's a little, innocent girl and shorty-shorts are "cute." But it's just not going to fly around here.
I'm sure she can blaze her own trail and embrace her girly-girl while wearing boys' shorts.

Do you have clothing standards for your little girls? What are they?

Emmett Cullen was changed in 1935 by the Cullens. But there was another, Isabella, who was also changed....but by another. Caught walking alone near the woods weeks after her brother's death, her life is changed for the rest of eternity.[AU]
I know, I should probably finish everything else, but there's a fire under my tush, and it doesn't go out, not to mention the copious amount of ants in my pants :) So sue me. The plus side of the fire? My bottom is never cold....
7. Family Lost, Family Gained
Rating 0/5 Word Count 1631 Review this Chapter
Bella POV
I opened my eyes to a lighted darkness, remembering the fire that coursed through my veins for what seemed like an eternity. The pain let up for small increments, but then returned, doubled. I remember the same voice that spoke to me in the woods, spoke to me through the fire that had consumed me.
I cringed at the painful memory, taking a look around my surroundings. I was in a dark blue painted room with a beige carpet, sitting on a bed in the center of the room, the headboard against the wall. There was a nightstand on either side of the bed, as well as a bookcase on the far side of the wall. The room was foreign to me, but it felt safe and welcoming.
The door across the room from the bed swung open and I saw the angel's face that tried to calm me. He stepped into the room, his black hair falling into his eyes, with a girl behind him of the same hair color. They approached me cautiously as if they were worried they might frighten me, like a wounded animal. I simply sat there, taking in both of their features.
The both of them were unbelievably gorgeous with the same ocher eyes, the only difference being the girl's small ring of green surrounding her eyes. They had very pale skin that matched mine, which I noticed was several shades paler than when I was in the woods. That discovery made me nervous about what could possibly have happened since the woods. Where was I? Who saved me and why?
The people before me stood still, stopping their slow walk in front of the bed. It seemed that they were taking in my appearance as I was taking in theirs. They smiled at me when they looked back to my face, making me feel less anxious, and I let a small smile slip onto my face.
"Where am I?" I asked quietly, noticing a difference in my voice.
"You are in our home," the girl told me. I noticed her voice, like mine, was light but hers were the sound of wind chimes, whereas mine was a bit more soothing. "My name is Raven, and this is Theo, my husband."
I stared at them. They couldn't be old enough to be married, could they? I shook off that question for the moment and turned instead to more important ones.
"What happened? I remember being dragged into the woods, the pain, and then you," I pointed to Theo, "picking me up."
Raven looked a little apprehensive and looked at Theo. He nodded his head, as if they were communicating through silence. He turned back to me and took a few more steps forward, taking a seat on the bed near me.
"Before I being, what is your name?" he asked, his voice sounding like that of a man not yet twenty, but fully developed. It was slightly deep and calming.
"Isabella, but everyone just uses Bella instead." He nodded.
"It suits you." I was ready for the usual blush to stain my cheeks but it didn't, surprising me immensely. He sighed softly. "Bella, we found you in the woods being attacked. He was lowering you to the ground when we pulled him away and I brought you here, while our family followed close behind.
"There was nothing we could do to stop the…process…so we simply made you comfortable." He paused and I heard him call for two other people.
Another handsome man and beautiful woman, though older by a few years, came into the room. Like Theo and Raven, they smiled at me warmly and stood next to Theo.
"I am Charlie Swan, and this is my wife, Renee," he said, motioning to the woman whose hand was clasped in his own. "We are the parental figures of our family."
I nodded in acknowledgement. I examined what they looked like more closely during the silence, noticing that both of them stood tall, as if they were part of the nobility. Both had the same colored eyes as Raven and Theo, though Charlie's had a browner tint to them. They were both brunettes, Charlie's a darker color and curly while Renee had straight hair that reached the middle of her back.
They looked to be n their twenties, though all of their eyes held such age in them. I sighed and looked out the window, noticing that it was already night, the moon out and shining brightly. I turned back to the family, waiting for one of them to speak.
"How to begin?" Charlie asked when he saw my stare, smiling softly. "Well, you have gone through some changes. Depending on you, it could be either good of bad." He stopped and I nodded, urging him to continue. He sighed. "The changes you went rough have made you stronger faster, harder, and more dangerous. You…you're no longer human, Bella."
I gaped at him, eyes wide. "What do you mean, no longer human? What could I be then?!" I was beginning to panic. "I still feel like me. I sound a little different, but nothing more."
"Bella," Theo said softly, "there are other differences besides your voice. You're paler, your looks are enhanced in addition to what Charlie said a moment ago."
"So what would I be then, exactly?" I asked quietly.
"You are now a vampire," Raven told me warily. I gasped. "I'm sorry if it upsets you." Theo took her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze.
"That's…that's impossible," I choked out. "Vampires are nothing but myth! A bedtime story to scare little children." Charlie chuckled.
"I assure you Bella, we are quite real. You are now more proof of it." He held out his hand to me. "Why don't you take a look in the mirror?"
I hesitantly took hold of his hand, standing shakily on my feet, and walked into the washroom. I gasped audibly as I saw my reflection. I looked quite different, yet still the same. It was indescribable. What stood out the most to me were my blood red eyes.
I walked out of the washroom not knowing what to do with myself. How long had I been there? What time and day was it? Were we still in Tennessee?
I looked at the vampire family standing before me, which suddenly brought the thought of my own family to the front of my mind. How could I even forget about them for a moment? I turned and walked quickly to the bedroom door only to be stopped half way there by Theo.
"Bella? Where are you going?" he asked.
"Please move, I need to get back home. My family will be worried about me." I hoped that they would let me go.
"I'm sorry Bella, but you can't do that," Charlie said from behind me. I whirled around and stared at him incredulously.
"You can't be serious! Am I a hostage?" I turned to see him smiling sadly.
"Not in the least, but going near humans would be dangerous. You're new to this life. You would kill your own family if you came near them due to the blood lust."
I gasped. "It's not…I would never. They're my family, the people who raised and took care of me."
"As a newborn, you wouldn't be able to distinguish the difference once you would smell their blood," Charlie said. I could feel my eyes tingle with the familiar sensation of tears.
"But…but I p-promised them! I t-told my b-brothers that I w-wouldn't be l-long. H-how can I do this to th-them?" I looked around to see them all with grim expressions on their faces. I fell to the floor, dry sobbing. "They'll think it's all their faults! That they didn't do something right." I looked up at them, pleading.
"How can I let them think that? Live the rest of their lives always wondering if there was something they could have done to save me? After losing the second youngest child, now they lose their youngest? How is that fair?!" I demanded.
My throat felt like it was closing up. The sobs shook my entire body, making it impossible to talk. In my grief filled state I was unable to notice that as I cried, no tears came with it. I never got to say goodbye…just like Emmett. How could this happen? Why us? How would my family cope with two siblings and children now missing and assumed dead?
"How will I live without them?" I asked quietly. "They were the ones holding me together after my brother's death. Now I'm lost to them, and they to me." I felt someone's hand on my shoulder and looked up to see Raven.
"We are sorry this happened to you, Bella. With all my heart, seeing your reaction, I wish you were at your human home right now, with your mother, father and brothers." I nodded.
"Thank you." It remained silent for a few moments. "I wish I could have said goodbye, or told them that I would be okay. I love them so much!" I began to sob quietly.
Theo knelt down and took me into his arms. I clung to him, remembering that that was something my brothers would have done, especially Nathan. I missed them all terribly and I always would, the ache in my heart would never fully go away.
"Shh Bella, it will be alright," Theo whispered, trying to soothe me.
I shook my head. "I can try to be without my family, knowing that they're safe. But what about them?"
"Bella," Theo sighed, "they're not your family anymore. We are, if you choose to stay with us. You're dead to them."
I looked up into his face, my eyes glistening with non existent tears. "You're wrong. They will always be my family."

Frequently Asked Questions: Board and Train
Camp FAQ
A Board and Train requires that your dog be left with us at Alaska Dog Works for the duration of the training. Our programs enable your dog to learn commands quickly, efficiently, and effectively. Boarding your dog while it undergoes intensive training is the key component to a Board and Train/Camp Works at Alaska Dog Works. Commands are given to the dog in a consistent repetitive way so that it becomes like second nature to the dog. Because this is what we do, we are able to undertake the training of your dog like you do in your eight hour a day job. When your dog is ready to return home the real work begins in that we teach you how to become the best owner you can by offering follow up sessions to you and your family.
A Board and Train/Camp Works program is the most consistent and efficient way of training your dog. Training a dog, at any age, is time consuming and although you may be thinking, "I'll have the time," in reality there's never enough time in the day to get enough training done for your dog. In our three week program, your dog will be trained in three sessions per day. That's 63 sessions. It would take 16 months of and $4,095.00 to complete the same amount of training in weekly private sessions. In our six week program, your dog will be trained 3 sessions per day. That's 126 sessions. It would take 32 months, and $8,190.00 to complete the same amount of training in weekly private sessions.
As in the previous question, the price of a board and train/camp works is much more cost effective than if you were to attend private lessons. Also, we are a premiere training school and do not offer a cookie cutter approach to training your dog. Each dog training program is based on a complete evaluation, your training goals and your dog's temperament and needs. If you were to research training schools of similar demographics and training programs our costs are right in line with them. Another way to look at it is you would pay approximately $30.00 per day at a quality and professional boarding center without any training sessions. With your dog in our board and train program he will receive several hours on intensive training and one-on-one attention.
Puppy Works (Imprinting) - 10 weeks to 6 months Camp Works - 6 months and up Obedience Works - 6 months and up Advanced Obedience Works - 6 months and up
Your dog will stay in our home in Willow, Alaska. Each dog will stay inside where it is warm and cozy. Between training sessions each dog will have supervised socialization opportunities to socialize, learn structure, and how to play. Unlike some boarding facilities with potential health risks and the stress of barking dogs, Alaska Dog Works' is in-home environment.
Yes. Just as service dogs are trained over a two year program by several handlers and eventually placed with their permanent handlers, we complete the training and turn your dog over to you and then teach you how to work with your dog. These follow up sessions are crucial to your dogs success. Without the follow up sessions your dog will not perform at it's best. During the program, you will receive weekly videos of your dog performing the commands, plus you will receive follow up handler training sessions.
Dogs will be dogs. No form of dog training can guarantee that your dog will NEVER misbehave again. However, our methods of training are effective, yet simple and easy for you to follow. We guarantee follow up assistance for the life of your dog. We stand behind our training! It is our goal to send your dog home at about 85% complete. We do this because dog training programs are never successful if someone else does all the work. You dog has to live with you and in your home and understand that you are the boss. When your dog stays with us at Camp we give them a great foundation and by working with you on then follow up sessions, we get to teach you how to make your dog the best!
We use email and our Facebook page as our primary method of communicating with owners. We can send weekly updates that include photos, and a short narrative describing how your dog is responding to training.
At Alaska Dog Works we use a style of training referred to as operant conditioning, and transition the dog through three phases; acquisition, proofing, and generalization. Through hands-on training and experience, we have developed a variety of ways to teach commands to dogs and use their diverse personalities and temperaments. We start by finding out what motivates the dog. Then we create conditions for the dog to be encouraged to follow commands that occur naturally (sit, down, heel). We focus on timing positive reinforcement, with the dog intuitively offering a response to a command.
Clicker training is a method of marking behavior with a clicker, which is followed by secondary reinforcement (treat). Clicking a clicker or offering a food treat simply will not stop your dog from chasing down a squirrel. We do not use clickers for training. In the early stages of training, we mark proper behavior with release and reward, however as we transition into phase two the dog learns to perform on command. Our training program is effective regardless of clickers or squirrels.
We need veterinarian records confirming your dog has received the distemper combination (DHLPP), rabies, and bordetella (kennel cough) shots. If you do not these records, they can be easily obtained by contacting your veterinarian. Please note that we are required by State Law to have these records on hand and bordetella is required every six months whenever you board your dog. Just kids catch colds at school, dogs can do the same thing at camp. We rely on our clients to make sure that their dogs come to camp healthy and free of illnesses but occasionally germs can be spread. Also, when your dog comes home from camp there will be an adjustment period. Ocassionally there will be some weight loss during your dog's stay. Our dog's at camp are fed on a strict schedule and are very active during their stay. A much different lifestyle than the typical house dog that lays around all day while their owner is at work
If your dog is not ready to graduate, we will continue dog obedience training at no cost to you. We guarantee our training 100 percent. We guarantee this training IF you follow through with the homework and follow up sessions. Many dogs go home and the owner doesn't have the time to work with them on the follow up homework.
It is not recommended. Once your dog is dropped off at our site (or we pick him up at your home), it is normal for your dog to go through an adjustment period. Visiting your pet may prolong transitioning and cause further separation anxiety. In order for the program to succeed, we do not schedule visits for you and your dog until graduation or final pick up.
Your dog will be trained one-on-one by a team of certified trainers and under the supervision of Michele Forto who is a certified canine behaviorist. Each custom-tailored program, whether it is obedience works, camp works, positive behavior modification, puppy works, or working/sports training, is centered in repetition, consistency, and reward for dogs of all ages and personalities. We are certain you will bring home a canine obedient to your commands and prepared to participate in your life.
We only accept four dogs in camp at any one time. The dogs stay in our home and become part of our family routine during their stay. If our camp is full we offer our clients two sessions before their camp starts, at no additional charge, to give them a head start. We have found that these lessons can really help the family on problems/issues that need addressed before their dog comes to camp. A good example of this is jumping on guests that come to your home. If you are thinking of sending your dog to camp we ask our clients to reserve a spot as soon as they can. Even if you are planning a trip for next summer it is not to early to sign up now. Of course our private lesson program works very well if our camp is full too. We train dogs in private lessons in blocks or four sessions and each block is geared toward specific training goals. For example, during the first block we may work on the basics like loose leash walking, sit, down and stay and during the second block we might work on come, wait, and off leash walk.
Our Camp program is designed over years of working with clients and their dogs. We have found that in order to be successful it is imperative that the dog owner and their family is included in their training. To us it is a four step process: an in-depth evaluation and designing of a training program to suit your goals, the Camp itself, the send home session, and the follow up sessions. We do not offer refunds because we feel that in order for dog training to be successful it takes a commitment from you too, but we guarantee success and we will work with you after camp for as long as it takes. That is a promise!

Seminars are priced independently and early registration fee range from £ 25.00 (including VAT) for students, £ 55.00 (including VAT) for Xplor members and £ 85.00 (including VAT) for non-members. Online registration will be available the week of August 28, 2006 at www.xploruk.org.uk. Onsite registration, after October 6, 2006, is also available at a slightly higher cost. "Early response has been very positive with approximately 230 pre-registered individuals having already expressed interest in attending the seminars," said Steve Petch, Chairman of the Xplor UK & Ireland Region. "We fully expect to meet our attendance goals at Digital Print 2006 in addition to providing a robust education program for the participants." As an international component of the Xplor Document University, an ongoing program of technical, executive and professional development programs announced earlier this month, Xplor's seminar series at Digital Print World is designed to provide attendees and the electronic document industry at large with education tools needed to excel in today's professional environment. Seminar topics include 1-to-1 marketing and integrated communications; transition from lithography to digital print, the changing world of digital printing and intelligent document tracking.

Haunted Highgate Cemetery
Like many of England's most famous places, Highgate Cemetery in Highgate, London is perhaps one of the most actively haunted
cemeteries in the UK. Opened in 1839, Highgate serves as the final resting place of a long list of famous people including Douglas Adams, Karl Marx and Radclyffe Hall. Highgate Cemetery boasts ghost sightings, vampires, aliens and botanical splendor. During the pinnacle of its popularity, Highgate Cemetery was a place where the rich and aspiring rich tried to outdo each other, thus rendering the gravestones and carvings more and more gaudy as the years passed. This haunted graveyard finally succumbed to near-ruin, with no gardening or repair being done. In the 1980s, a group began, in an effort to bring back the graveyard's former glory.
The Haunted Egyptian Avenue
Reports of the
ghost of Rossetti top the list for spectral sightings. The cemetery houses over 50, 000 dead, 168,000 engravings and nearly 900 famous people residing within the walls of this architecturally fascinating graveyard. There is the Egyptian Avenue, a famous path connecting both halves of the property, with numerous ghost glimpses along its famous route. The Circle of Lebanon house urns and vaults complete with catacombs. The ghosts walk this path, too.
Haunted Highgate Cemetery includes stories of vampires from medieval Wallachia. Some claim to have found dead animals drained of blood, while others blame negative occult practices.
Witnesses report both a man in a top hat and a bicycle rider. Stories from the early 1900s show a remarkable rise in the number of ghosts sighted and the unseen touches, winds and sounds emanating from the mausoleums and arches.
A 1930s story told of a man walking through the cemetery to get home, who was confronted by an imp-like creature. The story spread and became a part of the lexicon of ghost
tales about Highgate.
Victorian London perpetuated and exaggerated much of the gossip and story telling that focused on haunted Highgate Cemetery. The Victorians loved a good other worldly scare and soon reports of haunted headstones, ghosts walking among the few living visitors and evil demons abound.
Highgate Cemetery reflects a time in London's history when elegance and image were everything. The cemetery's flora and fauna show a distinct Victorian flavour and the structures borrowed ancient
architecture and design from the middle east and gothic influence.
Visitors to Highgate often report icy touches on the cheeks, whispers, cries and hushed talking. Visible specters visit less frequently since the Friends of Highgate group began the cleanup and restoration. But you'll find that in London, ghosts never really leave for any significant length of time. Highgate Cemetery, one of the most haunted places in one of the most haunted cities in the world.

Long Division
My husband won't share the financial burden of conceiving a child. What should I do?
Get "Dear Prudence" delivered to your inbox each week; click here to sign up. Please send your questions for publication to email@example.com. (Questions may be edited.)
Dear Prudence,
My husband and I have separate bank accounts, with a joint account for bills. Since we make roughly the same amount of money, the bills are split 50/50 through the joint account, and the rest of our personal paychecks are for ourselves to spend as we wish. About two years ago, we happily decided together to have a baby. I couldn't conceive, and the doctors put me on a cocktail of hormones. The drugs are not covered by insurance, neither are the ovulation kits and pregnancy tests. This is an expense I have shouldered on my own. It has added up, and I find myself more and more in debt. My husband has seen how much I spend on all of these treatments, but has yet to offer to help with the financial burden. I've tried to be subtle—I once asked him to pick up a pregnancy test on the way home from work, but he has never done it since—but now I just want to scream at him every time I come home with another prescription and he comes home with another man-toy! It's bad enough that I already feel like it's my fault we haven't conceived, but by not sharing in the financial aspects of this process, I feel even more alone. Am I off base to ask him to help pay for treatments for a problem that is "mine"? Or is it just the overabundance of hormones that make me want to freak out on him?
—Barefoot and Not-So-Pregnant
Dear Barefoot,
I hope you are able to start your family soon, but take this waiting period as a chance to rethink your definitions of yours, mine, and ours. There's something wrong with the fundamentals of a marriage if one partner is going into debt over a medical treatment—whatever the malady—while the other is flush enough to indulge his whims. There's also something wrong if the partner going broke feels she has to quietly seethe and hint that something's wrong, instead of being able to say, "We need to figure out another way to manage our finances together." How do you plan to divide the cost of caring for a future child: He pays for everything below the waist (diapers, booties), and you pay for everything above (pacifiers, hats)? When Solomon suggested dividing the disputed baby, he was illustrating that some things simply can't be cut in half. Since handling money and child-rearing are flashpoint issues in many marriages, you two must work on your communication skills and your sense that you're in this together, before you bring home a very demanding third party.
Watch Prudence's latest video letter here.
Dear Prudie,
I am a Dutchman married for seven years to a lovely American girl. All is well, unless we visit my family in Holland, which we do one week each year. Apart from the typical in-laws issues, there is a certain language barrier. Everybody in my family speaks decent English, and as long as the group isn't bigger than four or five, we all talk in English (well, OK, at least 90 percent of the time), but when bigger groups meet, like at dinner with my parents, three sisters, and their husbands, then the "only speak English" rule is quickly forgotten. My wife thinks this is rude, and if the others cannot always speak English, then I, at least, should translate for her. I find this an impossible task, as it entails translation and explanation (who is Uncle Sjoerd?), which means that I can't talk with my family. I have asked—begged—my wife to please learn some Dutch so she can follow the discussions. She can talk back in English, nobody would mind. She feels that, being over 30, she is too old to learn a foreign language. She has tried a few times halfheartedly, but a language is simply not something you acquire by listening to tapes in the car for a couple of weeks. Am I being uncaring, and should I keep translating, or could she make some more effort to learn some Dutch?
—Nederlands Voor Beginners
Dear Nederlands,
At the risk of getting in Dutch with the two of you, I think you're both wrong. It's thoughtful of your family to speak English around your wife, but once the room fills and the conversation gets going, it's unrealistic to demand that a lively family get-together be conducted awkwardly in a foreign language for the benefit of one person (or that you should provide continuous simultaneous translation). Your family should be sensitive to the fact that your wife's being left out and engage her one-on-one, but she should accept that for part of every trip to your homeland, she's just going to have to let the discussion bubble incomprehensibly around her. And it's a bit much for you to ask your wife—who isn't good at foreign languages—to spend the year trying to learn enough so that on a short vacation she can start conversations such as, "The dikes look very sturdy," and, "I hope Uncle Sjoerd's digestive troubles have cleared up." However, it would be a gracious gesture on her part if she could at least learn to say, "So nice to see you. I'm so sorry I still don't speak any Dutch" in Dutch. Perhaps, if this issue isn't already too loaded between you, you could be her tutor.
Dear Prudence,
I used to cut myself, starting about four years ago and stopping about four months ago. I stopped for a while during that time because my family and friends found out and were horrified. I'm not sure why I started again. I stopped this time because I was becoming frustrated by the endless cycle of depression leading to cutting leading to self-loathing leading to more depression, and so forth. I still occasionally feel depressed, but I've been able to divert it by talking to friends about my feelings, exercising, reading, playing music, or otherwise distracting myself. My problem is, what to tell my boyfriend? I feel like the scars are rather hard to miss when I wear something shorter, although I rarely do. I'm working on accepting them as part of me, part of my past, and not being ashamed to talk about them, but it's difficult. I've talked to him about my experiences with depression, but haven't told him that I ever self-injured. Is there an obligation to inform anyone I date? Do I tell him before he sees, or wait for him to ask?
Dear Scarred,
You should be proud that you've addressed this problem and created both a support system and a way to alleviate your sadness by doing productive things. But you are putting too much of a burden on yourself to deal with the medical issue of your underlying depression—and the self-harm you've been doing—without professional help. It would also benefit you to have a therapist to turn to in case you find yourself again feeling overwhelmed. One type of therapy that deals specifically with self-injury is dialectical behavior therapy (this Web site has a referral list). As for your boyfriend, this is the kind of information one person does owe the other in a relationship, but not until you are at that stage when you tell intimate things about yourself you wouldn't say to someone you're just dating. Since you expect your boyfriend will notice your scars, that's another good reason for you to seek professional help. Then you can tell him honestly, "I used to hurt myself sometimes. But I'm getting treatment, and I've stopped."
Dear Prudie,
Please help us with a family quandary about our four teenage grandchildren. We have always sent gifts and cards on birthdays, Christmas, and special occasions, supported travel and educational opportunities, and stayed in touch with letters, cards, and e-mail. Three of the grandchildren always express thanks for gifts, write letters to us, and exhibit good manners in all respects. It's a different story with the other grandchild, who lives in another city. He does not say thanks or acknowledge the gifts he receives, nor does he respond to our letters or other communications. He is an excellent student in school, but his absence of common courtesy is contrary to the good manners his parents have unsuccessfully tried to teach him. We have sent him gifts, thinking that he would develop some manners as he grew older. He is now 18 and it hasn't happened. I am disgusted with his behavior and think it's time to stop the gifting and tell him why. My wife, however, thinks we should continue in order to treat our grandkids equally. He acts the same toward his other relatives, and some of them are wrestling with the same question.
—Fed Up
Dear Fed,
I think you should send one more gift and enclose a note explaining your feelings. Tell your grandson that you love him very much and enjoy sending him things you think he would like, but this will be the last such gift he receives unless he does you the courtesy of acknowledging it with a thank-you note or call. However, I wonder if something else is going on here beyond the fact that you may have a rude and selfish grandson. Although he does well in school, and you say his parents have tried to teach him manners, it sounds as if he has little connection to anyone else in the family. Have you talked to his parents about whether he has normal social relationships? If he doesn't, the problem is larger than thank-you notes, and before he goes off into adulthood, he needs some evaluation and help.
