I will marry Sylphy.
It is something I never experienced in my previous life.
It feels a little premature for that matter.
Thus I have a great deal of anxiety.
But, more than that, the expectation as a couple is high and such a thing is allowed.
When I think that the pretty girl is to get my poisonous fang, it would be coveted.
No, of course I don't intend to do anything that Sylphy hates.
However, I was troubled.
When I think about it, I don't know much about the marriage system of this world.
At least, I have never seen such a thing as a wedding ceremony until now.
Paul didn't hold a wedding ceremony with Lilia either.
At best, it's enough to have a celebration by calling people from the village.
Asura nobles throw parties once they get married, but I've never heard of them holding something like a wedding ceremony.
However, marriage and relationship, the concept of a partnership.
But I don't understand it.
What is marriage?
What should a married man do?
What do I do?
16 years have passed since I came to this world and I don't even have such basic common sense.
Now what?
If I don't know, I will learn.
A person can learn it.
If I don't understand, I should ask.
"Are you getting married?"
At first, I decided to ask Zanoba (a 26 years old divorcee[Widower]1) in time for dinner.
The place is a dining room in the dormitory.
"Over time, I gave my partner's family a domestic animal, a soldier, and food as gifts."
In the case of marriage in Shirone, it seems to be common sense that a man sends a gift to the woman's relatives.
"Since you're a prince, isn't it easy to get?"
"Yes? For anyone, even if he is a prince, it is natural that the man sends the gift."
And then Cliff's head coincidentally pops by.
"It's reversed in Milis. The family of the bride gives her a betrothal present."
It has become regular for Cliff to have dinner with us.
This is because he has few friends, so it's lonely for him.
"Oh, but that's it. Don't you lose the woman's family?"
"Instead, the man helps out when there's something going on in the bride's home."
"I see."
Be it Milis or Shirone, recognition of marriage is a strong connection between houses.
"Oh, a marriage is different for different races."
"How is it with the Elf Race?"
"......The truth is I haven't married Liese yet. We have the promise to solve the curse, so I don't know the customs yet. Since Liese is different from the other elves she doesn't seem to be particular about such things."
We had a long discussion.
But talk of a wedding ceremony never came up.
Won't there be something called a wedding ceremony?
There isn't. Is it good that there isn't?
"Then if you're to marry someone, what do you need?"
"You're right... First is a house?"
Zanoba nodded at Cliff's words.
A house.
"Oh? Why is it suddenly a house?"
"It's obvious. In order to get married, what are you going to do without a house."
Looking at Zanoba's face, of course he's nodding.
In this world, is it necessary to have a house to marry?
That reminds me. Did Paul come to live in Buina village upon marrying?
Was he living in the adventurer's inn until then?
When I2 asked, he said Philip granted him a house and a job.
"Generally girls can't enter the male dormitory, so their only options are to refrain from marriage before graduation or to leave the dorm after the marriage. Since there isn't a place to live in."
Now that you mention it that certainly seems true.
I haven't heard any stories of a couple living in a dormitory.
There is no dormitory for married people.
There aren't any concepts of long distance or commuting relationships here.
Basically, a couple lives together.
"Anyway, if the daughter is from a good place, and the other side has a house, either way you are home free. It is resourcefulness that a man prepares."
There's too much male chauvinism in Cliff's words.
But is this the common sense of this world even without our families' assistance?
It'd be reasonable that I prepare for such a thing.
Rather, she might be disillusioned with me if I'm not prepared.
"I understand. First is a house."
Cliff made a suspicious expression when he said so.
"Wait Rudeus, are you getting married?"
"Yeah, well."
"With whom?"
A question from Cliff.
Somehow it doesn't seem right to give Sylphy's name.
It will definitely be found out at some point, but should I keep it secret for a little longer?
"It's the person who cured my disease."
"Oh, I see. Name?"
"Well, let's leave that as a secret for now."
"I see...... well, if the partner is from Milis, I'm acquainted with the bishop of this town, and I'm good with informal congratulatory addresses."
So there seems to be a wedding ceremony-like thing in Milis.
In Japan, the wedding ceremony is regarded as particularly awful, but it isn't so here?
However, in this world, it seems to be offensive if you imitate a different sect.
I am not a follower of Milis.
Neither is Sylphy.
"Still, a house... A house will be expensive."
"Shishō, if you do not have enough money shall I lend assistance?"
"Though... I would feel ashamed that I have to depend on Zanoba for this kind of thing."
Even I want to maintain my pride as a man.
What is the market price of a house in this neighborhood anyway?
Hopefully my savings will suffice.
"Anyway, I'll check around town tomorrow. If it looks impossible, then I'll ask."
"Naturally. Rest assured, Shisho will be able to purchase the biggest house in town."
Zanoba said so and laughed.
Royalty doesn't feel any different despite being from a small country.
The next day I proceeded to the real estate agent.
Normally the local feudal lord would provide forms for citizens to rent out land and buildings.
However there is no feudal lord in the Magic City Sharia.
The Magic Triumvirate and the Magic Guild collaborate to manage the territory.
The problem that occurs in situations where there is no lord has been solved by installing a [Real Estate Broker].
Though I don't know what kind of problem was actually taking place.
I call it a [Real Estate Broker] for convenience, but the official name is [Land Management Agency] or something like that.
They buy and sell unoccupied houses, and manage vacant land and development.
It's like a so-called government office.
When I went to one of these real estate agents and said, [I want a house], the receptionist handed me a list.
The list of houses on the market was summarized in one page.
Size of the property, the size of the building, number of rooms, the price, the address, etc...
The list ranged from small houses to mansions, each property was very different.
Honestly, I don't understand how much it cost to buy a house.
After all, I wonder about a single-room house with a garden would be good... it would be nice to have enough room to keep a dog.
Or wouldn't an apartment like a tenement house work?
Sylphy is the escort of the princess.
The house should be good, even without considering the fact that she's an escort.
However, because she's an escort, Princess Ariel might visit.
Since that's the case, it would be bad if we had a poor house.
Still, I instinctively clutch my wallet when thinking about buying a high-quality house suited for nobles.3
Should I ask Zanoba for support?
No, I am hesitant to use a friend as a wallet.
Especially since I'm not looking to buy a modest house.
I might come with Sylphy.
I wonder if I should consult with the bride about such a large expense.
No, in this world a man should purchase the house. I also want to impress the woman I like.
When I talk to Sylphy I don't want to seem like a miserable excuse for a man.
I must show my resourcefulness.
"It needs to be large, have many rooms, and the property must be cheap..."
I start scanning the list for such a property.
No matter what world you're in, buying a house will be expensive for sure.
Though it could have been considered normal for a newly-wed couple to rent a cheap apartment in my old world.
And there, I found a good property.
Right at the end of the list.
The property has a single structure.
For its size it could be considered a mansion.
It is located in a corner of the town, but it isn't far from the Magic University.
It is 2-stories, and it also has a basement and a garden.
The only problem is that the house is slightly old.
The price is surprisingly cheap, less than the half price of a comparable property.
If it's this much, I can buy it and still have money left over.
"Why is this listing so cheap?"
The staff member shows a bitter smile when I asked.
"It's a fact that the mansion is haunted."
"Is it a curse?"
"Yes, around midnight you can hear sharp sounds, but even if you look for the sound you won't find anything. When you think that the house is rumbling or something and try to leave it, the next day you'll be found cruelly murdered."
Are you serious?
Well, I didn't hear the story well.
Haunted house.
And I wonder if it's evil spirits.
There are demons in this world, too.
"You didn't exorcise it?"
"A request was given to the Adventurer's Guild, but the adventurers were brutally murdered."
In short, nobody was able to succeed in exorcising it.
By the way, the subjugation rank of the request seems to be E.
I want to raise the rank, but the budget is lacking and there is also friction with the Adventurer's Guild, which seems difficult in various ways.
"Did you ask for help from the Magic Guild?"
"Yes, but they are in a difficult position to interfere with things of this nature, so we can only handle it on our own."
The real estate agent was about to give up on the haunted house.
Come to think of it, there was a similar case that happened when I was on the magical continent.
It's certainly a common thing in this world.
"If I succeed in exorcising the house, I don't suppose... that you could hand it over for free?"
This guy has a look as if he can't believe what I just asked.
Is that so.
It seems that they will sell it even if it's troublesome.
"I'm sorry, then can we proceed with a temporary contract so I can inspect the property at a later date?
"...Then, I'll ask for your name here."
Although I failed in the initial negotiations, I signed the temporary contract without minding it.
Since there was also a place for references I wrote Demon King Badigadi and Princess Ariel.
The staff member's face paled a bit when he looked at the contract, then retreated back into the offices.
His supervisor appeared immediately.
While rubbing his hands together.
Did this happen because my name is famous?
No, mentioning Badigadi and Ariel might be the reason.
Well, whatever.
I cut in while they spoke a little and the negotiations were concluded.
Furthermore they reduced the price by half.
Well, the property was treated like a plague.
But I'm not going to complain.
A few days later.
I went to visit the haunted house.
The building itself is firm, even though it was built more than a hundred years ago.
In this world, probably because magical power dwells in everything, it may take time for it to rot.
The supports are made of solid stone and it has hardwood floors.
An intricate building made of stone and wood.
Moss and ivy are stuck to its outer walls.
However it's a beautiful thing.
I imagined it being a more terrible looking house.
"Well, Zanoba-san, Cliff-san, will we give up?"
Zanoba and Cliff stand a ways behind me.
Although I am an A-rank adventurer, I am self-conscious enough to not attempt this alone.
Therefore I asked Zanoba to lend me his strength, he is a man I can rely upon.
Zanoba can handle it even if a western doll waving a kitchen knife comes out.
Cliff also came along because he had the eyes of someone who wanted to help out his friends.
That said, he's a genius who can use advanced level Exorcism magic.
If the other party is a demon or evil spirit-based, he will certainly be helpful.
"It's a very good house. It looks a little cramped, but about this size... is this much considered reasonable?"
"Isn't this house too large to live in with only two people? If it was me, first I would buy a small house then save money. Then later, if it becomes too small, I would move."
The two opinions contrast.
I guess that means I'll take this as the middle ground.
"The price is low for a reason, now let's go."
"You are wise Shishō, more than anything."
Zanoba starts walking calmly while saying that.
He has a club in one hand.
It is a weapon that I prepared.
During subjugation requests being unarmed is bad, but this guy with his monstrous4 strength seems to break all of his weapons.
So I gave him a club which I made with earth magic.
It's a free weapon to break.
Cliff is in the middle.
He's clutching his staff, which seems to be expensive, and looking around restlessly.
Even if the person himself intends to be cautious, I can only see it as being scared.
I act as the rear guard and prepare for an attack from behind.
It is important that the party protects Cliff who can use healing magic.
As for me, who's the most experienced, I'm in the back to also keep a close watch on everyone.
I walked over the broken stone pavement to arrive at the entrance.
There is a cracked wooden door.
One hinge is broken.
I better repair this later.
"I don't think that there's a risk of a trap, but please be careful."
"Yes, Shishō."
While watching with my foresight eye,
Zanoba grabbed the doorknob and just broke it.
No hesitation.
"Hey, don't break it so suddenly."
"Excuse me. The door was distorted and it wouldn't open. Renovation would have been necessary anyway."
Apparently, the door that looked safe upon first glance was somehow distorted.
"Is that so? But you should say something next time."
"Yes, Shishō."
Just the answer is fine, Zanoba.
Anyway, we entered the house.
We saw the lobby immediately.
There are stairs going up to the second floor directly in front of us and there are doors on our right and left.
There is a corridor leading to the back, near the side of the stairs.
Although it's viewed as a haunted house from the outside, the inside was bright.
The house's exposure to the sun is good. It is a good place.
Does a real estate agent regularly clean? There isn't much dust piling up.
"Shishō, how should we proceed?"
"First we'll start by investigating the right side of the house, looking through all the rooms. I don't think that there are traps, but please be careful where you step because there is a possibility that the floor and ceiling have become rotten."
Zanoba nodded, and Cliff looked back.
"You, you look like the real thing, you know."
"...For the time being, I am also an A-rank adventurer after all."
"Ah, that's right."
Cliff seems to be tense or something.
That reminds me, it seemed like he went off on an adventure with Elinalise and [Stepped Leader] the other day, but I never heard any details.
How did it turn out?
"That reminds me, how did the adventure go the other day?"
"...It was harsh."
"Well, they are all S-ranked..."
It probably wasn't that harsh for every member of [Stepped Leader].
I understand that their partner is a rookie.
They might not have been very considerate of that fact since it was their intention to educate him about this and that.
However, it's another story if Cliff didn't think of it like that.
"What should I do?"
"Please attack with Exorcism magic if you find an enemy."
"I understand... What should I do if that doesn't defeat the spirit?"
"Please withdraw, Zanoba or I will handle it."
When I said that, Cliff made a face that seemed offended.
I follow up.
"Because if Cliff-senpai uses magic, the house may be damaged."
Cliff seems to be convinced when I say that.
I had better let the beginner get a hit in.
You use Exorcism magic if you find an enemy.
That's the first wave of attack.
Then I'll join in if that doesn't work.
"Zanoba. There is a possibility that a demon who uses magic is lurking, so please be careful."
"Leave it to me."
Unexpectedly Zanoba has a warrior's temperament and was not scared at all.
I enter the door to the right of the lobby.
It was a large room.
The room was around the size of 20 tatami mats.5
It was well lit, there was a large fireplace against the wall towards the back of the room.
I wonder if this place is the living room or the dining room?
The fireplace becomes a concern.
"Cliff-senpai, this fireplace, could it be a magic tool?"
"Here, I will know if I try to examine it."
Cliff was just about to go look around the back of the fireplace...
"Stop. There may be an enemy."
We'll stop there, I'll inspect the fireplace.
Winters around here are cold, so heating is important.
If the fireplace is a magic tool, then the whole house will become warm.
If it isn't6, then we'll consider remodeling.
No...! In the cold, Sylphy and I hugging each other naked is what will keep us warm... but a good fireplace is still hard to pass up.
"Get ready, when I start forcing air through the fireplace anything like a demon hiding inside should come flying out."
And to draw its attention, with magic I force a strong wind through the fireplace's chimney.
Nothing happens.
I listen carefully, but there isn't any sign that something is moving.
Some soot fell down from the chimney.
I wonder if I should try maintaining a fire in it at least once while we're here.
If there's a hole or something in the chimney and it starts a fire, that would be unpleasant.
Anyway, I decided to go and take a look through from the bottom.
I could see the sky from the depths of the chimney.
For the time being I light it and try to maintain the fire for a moment.
There is no sign that anything is lurking.
It should be all right.
"Cliff-senpai, thank you for waiting."
"All right."
Cliff investigated the inside of the fireplace and discovered a magic circle immediately.
As expected, since he has been examining a lot of magic tools and curses recently.
"It is usable?"
"I don't understand how the fire works, but it seems to be no problem with magic."
"Is that so, thank you."
All right.
I nodded and we moved to the next room.
Looking from the entrance, it is the room to the right.
The floor in this room is stone and there seems to be something like a stove.
Perhaps this is the kitchen.
A piece of cloth is on the ground near the stove, and when I went to pick it up I noticed it was a piece of tattered apron.
Sylphy might be willing to cook for me in a naked apron here.
If I think about that, it is something to be excited about.
Innovation, and then remorse.
We're here to get rid of the evil spirits.
It's not the situation to be getting up. 7
I checked the stove and anywhere else that seems like it might be a hiding place.
"All right, there is nothing unusual, next."
On the way, I look at the rooms in sequence.
I discovered a door to the basement behind the stairs.
I advance to the next room counter-clockwise.
There is nothing unusual.
There were places where the dust has piled up a little, but these rooms are so beautiful you wouldn't think of them as over a hundred years old.
Did the former residents even do repairs?
"Is this the last room?"
I finished inspecting the rooms on the ground floor.
Although I knew by looking at the floor plan, this mansion is symmetrical.
However, there was no stove in the kitchen on the other side.
That room might have been used for another purpose, not for cooking.
Maybe for laundry.
But, let's call it a kitchen for the time being.
2 kitchens.
2 large rooms.
4 small rooms.
2 toilets.
I get the impression that this house was built by renovating two smaller houses together.
The only staircase is the one near the entrance.
"The basement or the upper floor. Which place is more likely to have a demon?"
"I guess the basement."
"It will be the basement."
Unanimously it was decided that we check the basement first.
The door to the basement is attached to the back of the stairs to the upper floor.
A door which requires a key and looks like a storeroom.
The stairs leading into the basement were dark...
I light the lamps which I prepared and handed them to Zanoba and Cliff.
"I'll use my foresight eye to support from the rear. Don't part with the lamp even if you think that it's dangerous, I can't support you if I can't see."
"Wahaha, I am a Miko. There is nothing I fear."
While spitting out a reliable death flag, Zanoba goes down the stairs.
Be more careful.
There might even be an arrow that will come flying out as soon as you open a door.
We arrived at the basement.
"Hmm, there's nothing."
The basement was deserted.
Some wooden shelves were lined up side-by-side.
It feels like an empty warehouse.
I light up the dark room, but there is no sign of something lurking.
There is a little stain on the wall, but it doesn't particularly look like blood.
Towards the end of the wall board, there's just a little rot.
This is... We have to accept this for the time being.
There isn't a demon.
That was anticlimactic.
"Okay, so the upper floor is next."
We go out of the basement and head back to the lobby.
Then we carefully go up the stairs to the upper floor.
The wooden stairs don't make a sound. They're solid.
We make it upstairs and begin to inspect the rooms one by one.
The upper floor was also symmetrical.
There are two slightly larger rooms on each end which connect to the inside of their adjoining rooms.
The other rooms are six tatami side-by-side.
There are a total of 8 rooms.
4 small rooms of about six tatami.8
2 rooms of about twelve tatami.
The middle room which leads to the bedroom had an area of about six tatami.
In addition, there was the balcony in the middle room, too.
Let's put a big bed in the bedroom.
A bed large enough to fit three people lying down.
Maybe I could combine two normal beds...
No, sleeping huddled in a small bed isn't that bad.
You'll be warm when you wake up from sleeping side by side.
Being sexually active, with Sylphy's chest to massage within arm's reach.
It isn't too bad.
Anyway, the bed is important since I use it every day.
Oops, of course it isn't limited to erotic purposes.
It's also to sleep in every day.
"What is it? Did you find what it was?"
"Do you think a bigger bed is better when you use it as a couple?"
Cliff falls silent for approximately several seconds.
He inhales suddenly.
And sighed.
"It is. Such a 'thing' is also important, but it's rude to the other party if you are always like that."
"Yeah... Hm, is that so."
His words are persuasive for some reason.
I wonder what Elinalise would do.
As soon as they are alone in a room, Elinalise would attack Cliff with bloodshot eyes.
I can't imagine it easily.9
I will take it to heart.
Oh, apart from that, is there a need to make the bed slightly bigger?
"Phew, there isn't."
I said with a sigh after looking around the last rooms.
"So, as planned, let's spend a night here."
"Yes. Thank you."
I didn't expect to see the problem when I was tentatively searching for it today.
Originally, it's a story of a guy that appears in the middle of the night.
Along with a sharp sound.
It's a creepy story.
Perhaps some kind of demon has settled down here.
I don't know of a demon ghost or any another demon.
I didn't think that it was a strong demon when I was in town, but carelessness is bad because the low rank adventurers that failed the request are now dead.
Unexpectedly, you don't know whether a homeless thief or something else has made this their headquarters either.
There's a kirikiri sound sharply picking at the entrance.
No, the door was broken. Then is it the back door?
A smell doesn't do for it.10
Isn't there a line?
Um, I don't know.
Are three people enough? I should have also brought Elinalise... just to make sure.
In her experience, acquired through age, she might have known about something like this.
But to be honest, I feel like I can't put up with her in a sexual sense.
A shadow that comes creeping in when you see it in the middle of the night.
The temptation that is whispered in the ear...
[Cliff is sleeping in the other room.]
[No, it is not okay.]
I also understand that.
It's not good.
I made an announcement at the end of the second floor, from just outside the bedroom.
"I will wait here tonight. You may not show up during the day, but for the time being I'm sleeping here tonight."
"Hmm. Julie will be worried."
"I'm also worried about Liese."
The two people spoke their worries about the woman whom they each left.
Julie's a smart child.
However I understand that she's considered a slave as well.
In the corners of the male dormitory, many of the nobles like to prowl indiscriminately.
But Zanoba doesn't need to worry.
Elinalise is a woman who is lascivious.
I also know that she is popular.
She may have an affair by taking advantage of when Cliff isn't there tonight.
It will be a worry for him.
In contrast, how about my Sylphy?
She will escort the princess today.
It's as usual, nothing to worry about.
No, I said I would go out today, but I didn't say that I was going to stay out.
Possibly, she may plan to come to my room and talk a little bit before going to bed.
However, I am not there.
Sylphy might be left waiting in a cold corridor.
A voice echoes out [Rudi's late...] all alone.
I'm worried about it.
"The night will fall soon."
At Zanoba's words, I look out and see the sunset's reflection in the window.
I can't tell her before tonight.
Sylphy would have already returned to the girl's dormitory.
No, even without saying it directly, if I write something in front of the door saying I'm out tonight...
All right, let's do it, let's do it now.
Oh wait.
What will these two do while I'm out.
It is regrettable.
For the time being, I'm the leader of this party.
Well it's a little thing.
Even Sylphy will understand it, if I explain it properly later.
No, but I heard somewhere a long time ago.
The accumulation of little things will produce a big crack later on.
Damn, I have a bad feeling about this.
During such a time I'm wearing a death flag on purpose, I must dispel this bad feeling.
"What's the matter?"
"...When this request is over, I'll get married."
"Yes. It is something that should be done quickly if you want to celebrate grandly in this mansion."
Zanoba nodded while looking puzzled.
My bad.
I had a bad feeling I wouldn't make it out the front door.
I felt that it would be impossible to succeed if I said something like [Please give us your blessing.] while riding the mood here.
That... For the time being, I'll put some hard thing in my breast pocket.
And, although I thought that, I have no breast pocket.
It is not possible to suddenly stop a flying .357 magnum bullet like this.
Cliff interrupted my line of thought.
"Invite Liese and me to the celebration."
"Isn't that natural?"
"It's okay if you take me for granted, but I would feel sorry for Liese to be left out."
Because Cliff is a guy who cannot read the mood, I wonder if he's always this glum.
Pitiful guy.
I'll invite him properly.
Of course, Elinalise also.
Nevertheless, I am a man.
I want to end this quickly and rub Sylphy's breasts.
No, I will strongly endure for now.
Because I will have many troubles later.
While I considered this, it became nighttime.
On the other hand, Sylphy heard the information that Rudeus had prepared a house for them, so at that time she was lying around and hugging a pillow while remembering her delusion.

Identity theft has the distinction of being one of the fastest growing categories of white-collar crime, with a projected compound annual growth rate of 32% over the next four years. Though consumers are usually thought to be its main victims, mutual fund companies and other financial services firms also pay for the crime.
Last year, Americans reported more than 500,000 cases of identity theft, defined as "the act of acquiring an individual's private information without consent and then using the acquired identity to commit fraudulent transactions." Celent Communications projects there will be more than 1.5 million cases by the end of 2005.
According to Celent's recent report, "Identity Theft and Its Effect on the Financial Services Industry," financial institutions in the U.S. can expect identity theft-related costs to total more than $8 billion by 2005, compared to $2.4 billion in 2000. In addition to substantial direct monetary damages, companies have indirect costs, such as employee training, computer security and potential loss of reputation, according to the report.
Disappearing Funds
Although securities fraud makes up a small percentage of identity theft losses, mutual fund companies should not assume that they are not vulnerable. Celent analyst Sang Lee offered a plausible theft scenario that begins with an enterprising criminal going through a mutual fund company customer's garbage and finding an account statement: "These people could call in and get all your essential data. They could potentially hijack that account.
"They could say, We've recently moved. We need to change the mailing address. Please send it to XYZ address from now on.' Then they could easily take the money out. You wouldn't know what happened, because with mutual fund account statements, if you don't get it one month you're not going to miss it," he added.
Unethical information brokers, private investigators and asset search firms sometimes practice this same "pretext calling." Pretending to be the customer, information brokers can gather confidential information, such as account balances, social security numbers and driver's license numbers, and sell it to anyone who is willing to pay for the information. "The Internet has led to proliferation of these services," the report stated. Lee sees mutual fund companies as likely victims of information brokers or other criminals who are trying to obtain customer information.
Financial institutions themselves contribute to the growth of identity theft by using information brokers to gather information on delinquent debtors. Additionally, sharing confidential customer information with affiliates and third-party marketing firms increases the potential for fraud, the report said.
The Internet presents another potential vulnerability for fund companies: institutional identity theft. A criminal could set up a Web site very similar to a mutual fund company's Web site to prey on customers who are less Internet-savvy. "On the first page they may ask for your account information," Lee said. "Once you give them that, they can turn around and sell that information or use it for their own benefit."
An Educated Consumer
Consumers have to be made aware of what can be done to protect themselves from identity theft and mutual fund companies, in Lee's opinion, should be active in educating them. "Financial institutions need to spend more time educating their customers because it's really in their interest to do so," Lee said.
Another step fund companies can take is to train customer service employee to recognize suspicious calls and pass them on to more experienced representatives. Call centers are a major source of "data leakage," the report said.
Rather than force victims of identity fraud to make multiple calls to different departments, fund companies should set up one office that can handle all of their concerns. "This is an area where financial institutions can make a huge difference. Victims will always remember who helped them during their time of financial and credit crisis," the report said.

Birmingham V Nottm Forest - view commentary, squad, and statistics of the game live.
Craig Gardner could make Birmingham return against Nottingham Forest
Craig Gardner could make his Birmingham return against Nottingham Forest after completing a loan move from West Brom.
The midfielder, who played for the Blues between 2010 and 2011, has signed and will complete a permanent move in the summer.
Greg Stewart has suffered a knee injury and could be out for around two weeks having made a substitute appearance in the 1-1 FA Cup draw with Newcastle.
Jonathan Spector should return but Jacques Maghoma is away with DR Congo for their African Nations Cup campaign.
Henri Lansbury will once again be left out of the Forest squad as uncertainty continues to surround his future, with rivals Derby and Aston Villa having enquired about the midfielder.
It remains to be seen if Dani Pinillos will be back in the first-team squad, or whether the full-back will be included in the under-23 side that faces Leeds on Friday, as he makes his way back from a knee injury.
The continued absences of Armand Traore (knee), Danny Fox (strain) and Chris Cohen (groin) means Reds boss Philippe Montanier still has very few options at left-back so Michael Mancienne may be asked to fill in.
Midfielder David Vaughan looks likely to remain unavailable with his latest rib issue.

Kristin Chenoweth Quotes About JesusQuotes about: Jesus
I auditioned for a solo in church and got it. I was about seven and I sang a song called, 'Jesus, I Heard You Had a Big House' and I remember people standing up at the end and me thinking, 'Oh, I think I'm going to like this.' That's how it all began. Sounds funny to say you got your start in church, but I did.
I am a Christian and I don't want there to be any confusion about what I believe or who I am. I don't believe gay people are going to hell. I believe that judgment is left to the one upstairs and I believe Jesus is all about love. If I can live my life even just a smidgen the way God made his son for us as an example, I'm happy. I do not judge other people for what they believe, but for me, this is what works.

New Delhi: Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor have topped a list of Bollywood actors with whom young boys and girls respectively would like to go on a Valentine`s Day date, while Shahid Kapoor was declared the sexiest male star in a poll by movie portal Chakpak.com.
Ranbir received 39.4 percent votes, while Shahid followed close on the heels with 37.7 percent votes from female fans. Imran Khan, who recently tied the knot with Avantika Malik, is on number three with 15.9 percent votes. The minimum votes were cast in favour of Ranveer Singh of "Band Baaja Baaraat" fame and dimpled boy Abhay Deol, who rounded up the top five with 4.5 and 2.5 percent votes respectively.
Among the females, Katrina took away the lion`s share with 35.6 percent of the votes. The second most wanted Bollywood girl, according to the poll, is Deepika Padukone at 22.4 votes, followed by Anushka Sharma, Sonam Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor with 17.5, 12.4 and 12.1 votes respectively.
"We designed this survey to let our extensive movie fan base fantasise about spending this Valentine`s Day with their favorite actor or actress," Chakpak.com co-founder Nitin Rajput said in a press statement.
The poll was conducted with over 2,500 respondents from Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai.
The respondents were also asked to choose the sexiest man in Bollywood, and Shahid Kapoor walked away with the title, leaving behind the likes of John Abraham, Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan and even Salman Khan.

What's the Latest Development?
While NASA's asteroid-retrieval mission (ARM) has its focus on grabbing a relatively large 25-foot object to pull into lunar orbit, a group of experts is suggesting that they look for something considerably smaller: tiny asteroids called "minimoons" that temporarily orbit the Earth for around a year before zooming back out into deep space. At around three feet wide, such an object would be easier to catch and bring back to Earth and it could still offer valuable scientific data.
What's the Big Idea?
Looking for a space object that's smaller and closer to home has the added benefit of being cheaper, which could be a good thing considering the ongoing arguments over whether ARM is a good use of NASA funds. Researcher Bill Bottke thinks capturing a minimoon is an exciting idea that can "help achieve NASA's human spaceflight goals, but at lower cost and reduced risk than the [other] things that are being presented today....[T]hink about [it] almost as a mini-ARM." One caveat: So far only one minimoon has ever been spotted. However, Bottke says it's likely that many more exist.

From Okara, Pakistan:
My 11 year old son has diabetes and takes insulin three times a day. Is there a way to receive insulin "naturally" and not via injection?
What do you know about the effects of onion. How much insulin can he get from onion?
Is it possible that my son will be cured of diabetes?
I know that you so much want your child to not have diabetes and not require insulin injections. However, I must tell you that there is NO other way currently to receive insulin other than injections. There is research into giving inhaled insulin; there is research into the prospects of orally provided insulin; there has been research into insulin skin patches. NONE of these are standard and remain issues of research with many problems and pitfalls. Even pancreas or insulin-producing cell (called islet cells) transplants are still experimental. Your child will require insulin injections.
Whether the insulin is given twice daily or three times daily, or with a continuous slow infusion with a mechanized device, called an insulin pump, is really dependent upon you, your resources, and the projected plan and expertise of your child's diabetes-care provider. Different insulins have different onset of action and different times to maximal effect. Your doctor can likely mix-and-match insulins to find the most correct combination of insulins that fit your child's meal plans and activities.
As for any beneficial effect of onion, I regret that I have nothing to offer. Human insulin is not derived from onion. Onion has no insulin.

OBAMA WAGES AIR WAR (ON TV) - How tight is President Obama's bind on Syria? He's sitting down today to face the tough questions from Chris Wallace in order to win approval for the president's proposed air strikes against Syria in retaliation for the use of chemical weapons last month in that country's civil war. Obama will face Wallace and anchors from the broadcast networks as well as CNN and PBS to make his pitch ahead of his scheduled national address on Tuesday night. Obama's answers to Wallace's hardball questions will air in the 6 p.m. ET hour.
"Little wars start big wars, and we have to remember that."— House Homeland Security Chairman Mike McCaul, R-Texas, on NBC's "Meet the Press."
ASSAD BRACKETS OBAMA - CBS News: "President Bashar Assad warned … that if President Obama decides to launch military strikes on Syria, the U.S. and its allies should 'expect every action' in retaliation…. 'You should expect everything. Not necessarily from the government,' Assad told 'CBS This Morning' co-host Charlie Rose. … In a clear reference to his allies in Iran and the Islamic militant group Hezbollah, Assad warned that his government is 'not the only player in this region.'"
WILL HILLARY HELP ON WAR PITCH? -WaPo reports former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will address Syria when she visits the White House campus this afternoon for a forum promoting her family foundation's initiatives to combat wildlife trafficking. A full embrace from Clinton could bolster support among moderate Democrats looking to track with their party's 2016 frontrunner.
Clintons raise cash in Georgetown - Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are headlining a fundraiser for the Clinton Foundation. Chelsea Clinton will join her parents for a reception and dinner in Washington, according to an invitation obtained by The Associated Press. The event costs $1,000 a person for a cocktail reception and $25,000 a couple for a reception and dinner at the family's Washington residence.
Ed Henry wants to know - "How much now does the White House wish President Obama had a few more dinners with GOP senators in years one, two, three and four -- instead of just year five?"
BAIER TRACKS: SYRIA A TOUGH SELL WITH DEMS…"Whenever a story in Washington starts with: "...because Barack Obama's presidency depends on it," you know the White House has problems. That is the case in several recent write ups about White House efforts to convince Democrats that attacking Syria is the right move and the right vote for them.
While we're told the president and Vice President Joe Biden passed around spaghetti and meatballs "family-style" Sunday night with six Republican senators -- Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., Susan Collins, R-Maine, Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., Bob Corker, R-Tenn., and Deb Fischer, R-Neb. -- it's really Democrats who may need an extra helping of personal attention from the president to get them to sign on.
And even then, there are real doubts. This quote from Politico sums up the pressure for House Democrats and lawmakers all over the Capitol: "One Democratic lawmaker who fielded calls from constituents this week said he got a call from his mother. It was the first time she had called him on a policy issue even though he's been in Congress for more than a decade. 'As a constituent,' his mother said, 'vote no.'"
There may be a lot of moms calling." – Bret Baier.
SYRIA RESOLUTION SERIOUSLY SHORT OF SUPPORT - Fox News: House members are either opposed to or leaning against Obama's plan for a military strike by more than a 6-1 margin. USA Today: "19 senators and 130 House members — say they will oppose a resolution that would authorize military strikes." WaPo: 227 House members and 27 senators oppose military action in Syria.
[White House details Syria outreach – WSJ from an administration official: 85 Senators and over 165 House members have been called by Obama officials concerning Syria in the past two weeks.]
"…[T]his is not an empty exercise. We are expending a great amount of energy and investment in trying to ... make sure that Congress understands." – White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough on "Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace" when asked if President Obama would abide by what Congress decides.

"If I were the president, I would withdraw my request for the authorization at this particular point. ... I don't believe the support is there in Congress. I think people view war as a last resort, and I don't think people think that we're at that point." – Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., on CNN's "State of the Union"
Pelosi pesters - House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has sent five "dear colleague" letters urging Democrats to get in line with the president on Syria.
MANCHIN, HEITKAMP START SHOPPING ALTERNATE SYRIA RESOLUTION -Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D., are starting a sales pitch today for an alternate Senate resolution on Syria. According to a source familiar with the proposal, the moderate Democrats are offering a plan that gives Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad 45 days to sign on to the international treaty against the use of chemical weapons before allowing U.S. attacks. If the authorization of immediate force looks headed for trouble, this could be a face-saving alternative for Democrats.
Key Syria vote likely Wednesday - Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is expected to start action on authorization for use of force in Syria today and could call for a vote as soon as Wednesday. The critical test vote would require 60 senators in support, setting up final passage on a simple majority.
What gets lost in the shuffle? - Fox News: Domestic issues including budget impasses and an immigration overhaul may take a back-seat as the Syria debate unfolds.
FOREIGN ENTANGLEMENTS - Kerry seeks Britain's Backing - Secretary of State John Kerry continues to sell the international community on launching strikes on Syria. Kerry is in London today meeting with British officials, including Foreign Secretary William Hague. Responding to protesters who called on the U.S. and U.K. to "keep your hands off Syria," Kerry said, "I think it would be good to hear people say to a dictator, 'Keep your hands off chemical weapons that kill your own people."
Better than Snapchat - The State Department announced Secretary of State John Kerry will take part in a Google "Hangout" to discuss Syria on Tuesday.
[Watch Fox: Gen. Anders Fogh Rasmussen, NATO secretary general, appears in the 9 a.m. ET hour]
Mon Dieu! Hollande seen as Obama lackey - The NYT reports French President François Hollande "…is facing an avalanche of sometimes contradictory criticism from left and right: that he is acting rashly in committing France to military action; that he is being too timid in awaiting the go-ahead from the United States and the United Nations; that he needs to heed public and parliamentary opinion and that he needs to assert the traditionally broad powers of the French president to employ the armed forces without parliamentary approval."
"It's an uphill slog from here. ... It's very clear [President Obama has] lost support in the last week"— House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, R-Mich., on CBS' "Face the Nation."
[New at Fox News Opinion: Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer, Sun Tzu would not be happy with Obama's plans for Syria strike.]
SENATE CONSERVATIVES TO RENEW PUSH ON DEFUNDING OBAMACARE The Hill - Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, Mike Lee, R-Utah, Rand Paul, R-Ky., plus House members and Tea Party leaders will host an event Tuesday in Washington to try to revive support for their push to make defunding ObamaCare the key objective in looming fiscal negotiations with the White House.
WHITE HOUSE WON SECRET BID TO DUMP NSA LIMITS - WaPo - "The Obama administration secretly won permission from a surveillance court in 2011 to reverse restrictions on the National Security Agency's use of intercepted phone calls and e-mails, permitting the agency to search deliberately for Americans' communications in its massive databases…"
WITH YOUR SECOND CUP OF COFFEE...Washington Examiner's Steve Chapman looks at how the great-granddaddy of liberal interventionism would see the Syrian civil war. What would Theodore Roosevelt do in Syria?: "Advocates of war against Syria have taken Theodore Roosevelt's advice and turned it upside down. They believe that in confronting Bashar Assad, the United States should speak loudly and carry a tiny stick."

We began our new homeschool year in earnest the day after Labor Day. We now have (technically) a 2nd Grader and 2 Preschoolers.
It was a bit of a rough start. I was expecting it, so it wasn't a surprise. We had just returned from our week-long vacation where all sorts of fun, fun, ridiculous fun was had, as well as much throwing of all schedules and routines out the window. (And if you know how addictively dependent I am on schedules and routines, you'll know what a STRETCH that was for me – LOL!)
Actually, that had been happening for much of the month of August and a little bit of July. Since we follow more of a year-round calendar (as opposed to 3 months off for the summer), I was feeling a little burned out by the time mid July rolled around. So we took a month off. I poured myself into my card making, keeping up with a variety of challenges and such, and the children played to their heart's content. But I knew all that unrestrained leisure would mean grumbling when the time came again to buckle down with the new school year.
And as grumbling goes, this bout was relatively mild. After two weeks, I am happy to say that we are all beginning to feel situated again and studies are coming along nicely. We began using some chores charts for the children a few months ago, and it has been a challenge getting us all acclimated to that process, but soooo worth it! We've also been trying to get better organized around the house in an effort to make the transition of adding two more students into the mix a little less hectic.
Unfortunately, all of that has also meant very little crafting time for me. Which is okay, I suppose, since I have felt a surprising lack of motivation to craft.
At this time last year, I was working on Christmas gifts and projects that included over 300 cards to distribute amongst our close friends and neighbors and some of my husband's co-workers. It was a grand scheme! I thought I'd try a little of that this year, but on a less grand scheme, maybe giving out 5 cards per person instead of 10, and maybe as a set of cards in one design with different colors, to make the mass production process a little faster. And Papertrey Ink's latest product release will make the Christmas creativity a lot more pleasant and efficient for me, so I'm looking forward to the delivery of my new supplies!
I really just have no mojo right now, no desire. I keep searching through my magazines and files and favorite blogs looking for inspiration and ideas, and I have certainly found inspiraton. But when I go to get out my craft supplies, it just feels unnatural for some reason. I start on a project, then quickly find something with which to distract myself.
Hopefully I can find a bit of ambition soon, or I'll need to find some other ideas for friend/neighbor gifts this year, because I am not going to make a ton of cards with no desire or motivation to back it up! 😉
The fibromyalgia flare-ups have also been more often and more painful the last few months, and I'm afraid that constant pain has a way of making my brain feel less than competent.
But there is also a sense of approaching peace and calm as the season is about to change.
Autumn is such a comforting season, for me. It signals the end of the craziness and reckless abandon of Summer and ushers in a time of settling down and embracing more enriching projects and happenings, as the weather eventually fosters indoor activities rather than the boisterous, messy, and busy ones of Summer. I have a difficult time keeping up with the constant activity and heat of Summer. And though true Autumn weather in our state sometimes only lasts a week or two, there is just something about Autumn and the beginning of Winter that makes me breathe a little sigh of relief. I don't explain it very well, I'm afraid. I'm just glad that Autumn is finally showing its face!
And yet, I am stunned by how quickly the year seems to have flown by! The beginning of my 40th year of life approaches with the beginning of the new year. My Sweetheart and I celebrated 10 years of marriage this past Spring. My oldest daughter will celebrate her 8th birthday in just over a month and will be baptized shortly after that. And my twin babies – my twin babies! – will celebrate their 5th birthdays just before the Thanksgiving holiday. I still vivdly remember the less-than-appetizing dinner in the hospital and my stepfather's delicious Thanksgiving feast I was missing those short 5 years ago when they were born! 😉
Maybe that's why I'm not very motivated – Autumn inspires reflection in me, rather than activity.
And you know what? I'm just going to go with it for a bit. Try to get back into the swing of lessons and enjoy the process of teaching my children and witness the light in their eyes that it brings and which makes the whole endeavor so worthwhile for me. Spend a little more time reading and writing, and maybe playing the piano. More time teaching my daughter to play the piano. Maybe recharge my batteries with my other favorite hobby of choice – organizing! And hopefully turn out a handcrafted card or two once in a while. 😉
Anyway. For family or friends who read my blog and might be bored with seeing card after card after card…. there's a little life update for you.

Back When We Was Kids Lyrics
Artist: Chris LeDoux
Album: He Rides The Wild Horses
Well I grew up in the shadow of the Rockies in the grand old West yes sir I did
And dammed if we didn't have us a bunch of fun back when we was kids
Yea there was manure on our britches snuff pouchin' out our lip
And hat's so big you can almost tell who's under it
Yea we all had horses it was always a race
It was real important who got there first
We sneak along some of the old man's whisky just to quench our little thirst
Yeah we looked like a bunch of hon yaks but we could ride like Casy Tibbs
And we still had to learn how far we could go before we learned when to quit
Yea we scratched where it itches and clowned around
There wasn't nobody who could kick our hound
Just throwin' knives and shootin' guns generally have in a bunch of fun
Well the mommas all thought we were angels and hell we let 'em go right ahead
But the old man had a hew more savvy in him
And a feller had to be careful around him
Yea wars were fought on contact and the wild seeds were sown
And we always spent our money like we found it in the road
Well one thing lead to another and before we knowned it it was gone
But I'll give you a hundred dollars just to have some more of them goings on
Cause we looked like a bunch...
Yea it's a lot of fun learning how far you can go
It's kinda hard learning when to quit but I'll bet you already know

What Mrs. Fisher Knows About Old Southern Cooking; By Abby Fisher - San Francisco: Women's Co-op Printing Office; 1881.
This is the fifth of the more-than-century-old cookbooks featured for National Black History Month. The books were selected by the Feeding America Project, of Michigan State University Libraries to represent the contributions of African-Americans to our cooking heritage.
It is also my favorite.
Quoted background of the book and the Feeding America Project is from essays by Jan Longone, Curator of American Culinary History, Clements Library, University of Michigan.
"That this book was written at all and that it has survived is a marvel. Mrs. Fisher, born a slave, somehow found her way to San Francisco soon after the Civil War and, by dint of talent and hard work, created a life and business there. She and her husband created a business manufacturing and selling 'pickles, preserves, brandies, fruits, etc.'
"She was proud of a Diploma awarded at the Sacramento State Fair in 1879 and two medals awarded at the San Francisco Mechanics' Institute Fair, 1880, for best Pickles and Sauces and best assortment of Jellies and Preserves. - Mrs. Fisher seems to have been supported by many of the leading business and professional figures in the San Francisco and Oakland areas.
"Perhaps it was these citizens who helped her to write and publish her book as both she and her husband were illiterate. We are grateful to whomever it was that helped her to publish these splendid recipes. She hints that they were written 'at my dictation.'" This may account for a few interesting variant spellings and names of dishes. - For example, her Jumberlie is obviously Jambalaya; her Circuit Hash was probably Succotash; the Carolas, Crullers; and the Milanaise Sauce used in her recipe for Chicken Salad is certainly mayonnaise. - This is truly a Southern cookbook: Beat Biscuits, Plantation Corn Bread, Creole Chow Chow, Sweet Potato Pie, Oyster Gumbo Soup, Ochra Gumbo, Chicken Gumbo, Boiled Turkey, and Jumberlie - A Creole Dish.
"Feeding America project is an online collection of some of the most important and influential American cookbooks from the late 18th to early 20th century. The digital archive includes page images of 76 cookbooks from the MSU Library's collection as well as searchable full-text transcriptions. This site also features a glossary of cookery terms and multidimensional images of antique cooking implements from the collections of the MSU Museum."
The Feeding America Project is on the Web at

134 - Corn Fritters. To one dozen ears of corn add three eggs, half a teacupful of powdered crackers, one tablespoonful of sifted flour.

Beat the eggs light and add with the flour and a quarter of a teacupful of sweet milk. Season to taste and beat the whole light. Have your lard or butter hot when you go to fry, and drip the batter into the hot fat from off the end of a spoon, letting it fry quick and brown. Have young and tender corn.

'I was so offended': Sophie Monk says a male celebrity asked her to do a sex tape 'worth $20 million'
Sophie Monk's been a singer, a model, a talent show judge, a Hollywood actress, a radio host, a Marilyn Monroe impersonator, and probably a few other things in between.
But the 36-year-old Aussie has never added "sex tape star" to that list – despite the dangling carrot of potentially millions of dollars. Sorry, dangling carrot might not be the best choice of metaphor here.
During a game of "Never Have I Ever" on KIIS FM's weeknight show with The Thinkergirls, Sophie revealed that a male celebrity asked her to do a sex tape. The unnamed star offered to split the profits, which he claimed would be around $20 million. Gee, that's optimistic!
"I was so offended," Sophie said. "The fact that they think I'd do it for the money…it's kind of prostitution-ish."
So who was this mystery guy? It doesn't seem like something one of her celebrity exes - Benji Madden or Sam Worthington -would ask her to do.
Perhaps it was Ray J, Kim Kardashian's sex tape partner? In 2012, Sophie and Ray frolicked in a Jacuzzi in an ad for shaving serum. Ahhh, we could spend all day playing this guessing game!
Sophie added that she turned down $10,000 to go on a date with a man who was trying to raise his celebrity profile in LA.
With a price tag like that, you'd hope the dessert was pretty special.

Sohrabbudin fake encounter: Bail pleas of Vanzara, six others rejectedNovember 14th, 2007 - 10:39 am ICT by admin
Rejecting the bail pleas, the sessions court said that no bail could be granted to the main suspects in the case, as they are likely to influence the ongoing investigation or tamper with evidence.
Two IPS officers of Gujarat Police– Vanzara and Rajkumar Pandyan– and one of Rajasthan Police– Dinesh Kumar- allegedly executed the encounter in November 2005.
Sohrabuddin was reportedly gunned down on November 26, 2005 after being branded a Lashkar-e-Toiba militant by the Gujarat Police, allegedly trying to hatch a conspiracy to kill Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi. The cops also allegedly killed Sohrabuddin's wife, Kausar Bi.
On the Supreme Court's directive, the Gujarat Government had constituted a CID team under IGP Geetha Johri to investigate the case. (ANI)

SOC 328 Families (1)
The focus of this class will be on examining the variation of family structures and how decisions, patterns and practices that appear personal are socially patterned. Our examination of families will explore what role the political economy plays on the construction and maintenance of the family, and how race, class, ethnicity, age, ability, sexual identify and other social categories impact childhood, mating, divorce and other experiences of domestic life. We will also examine how family ideologies often ignore the complexities of family life and create false expectations about what families should be.
