The Sayonara is Mizuno's lightest running shoe to date, utilising a one piece stitching process which allows for the shoe to remain strong but incredibly lightweight. Combined with the U4IC midsole, they provide the runner with a great long distance running shoe.
The result was an engaging and informative promotion that helped to communicate the Mizuno Wave Sayonara as the most advanced, lightweight running shoe.

Monday, May 22, 2017
WOBURN — On Thursday, May 18, William Gillmeister, Treasurer for Keep MA Safe officially filed a formal civil rights complaint stemming from an assault that occurred at an event for the initiative to repeal the Bathroom and Locker Room law.
While in Newton for a repeal campaign gathering, Gillmeister was assaulted by a man dressed as a woman who spat on him and stole Keep MA Safe signs. According to the incident report taken by the Newton police, the alleged perpetrator provided police with an assumed name and not a legal birth name.
"The party identified themselves as Darcy Rohan but when queried through dispatch came back with negative results," the report stated. "When asked for an explanation, the party stated that their birth name was David." Police indicated that Rohan "was irate and stated that the signs were taken because of disagreeing beliefs."
"Rohan further stated that the signs had been thrown in a dumpster but was unsure of the location," the report added. "Rohan admitted to spitting on Gillmeister." Police charged Rohan with assault and battery and theft of property valued at less than $250.
"He was vulgar, violent, and clearly targeted and spit on me because I disagree with him on this issue," Gillmeister explained. "He admitted to the police it's OK to spit on and threaten people who object to his radical ideology. Under the Bathroom and Locker Room Law, he can enter intimate spaces with real women, and there's no recourse for them." (See Rohan's bragging about the incident on social media in images below).
"This was a clear attempt to intimidate not only Mr. Gillmeister but everyone at the campaign gathering, and to prevent them all from exercising their civil rights. The Attorney general and the district attorney have an obligation to safeguard our citizenry from this type of prejudiced attack and to make a strong statement that crimes of this nature will not be tolerated. I expect they will take swift action and pursue this to the fullest extent of the law," said Andrew Beckwith, legal counsel to the Keep MA Safe Committee and President of Massachusetts Family Institute.
Keep MA Safe Chairman Chanel Prunier stated: "Our question to the supporters of this law is simple: would you want this man, who claims to be a woman, in the locker room with your daughter? He spit on Bill for displaying signs. What would he do to a teenage girl, legitimately questioning his presence in the locker room at the gym? Or a small child who made a quiet comment in a bathroom? He shouldn't have a special right to be with them when they're undressed and vulnerable in a locker room or bathroom- a right their parents don't even legally possess."
Keep MA Safe is a ballot campaign to repeal the bathroom bill enacted by the legislature last July and signed into law by Governor Baker that allows a person to claim any gender, regardless of anatomy or biology, and use the bathroom or locker room facility based on the claimed gender.

• Rubber gloves
• Sharp knife or razor
• 24" x 36" Styrofoam or cardboard sheet to pin parts
• Approximately 40-two inch nails
• Borax
• Degreaser or non-flammable liquid
• High temp hot glue gun
Standard Turkey Fan Mount
*NOTE Always submerge your parts to be mounted in a degreasing or non-flammable liquid solution for about 10 minutes. This is to preserve your turkey fan parts so they will remain in good condition for years to come.
Separate layers of tail feathers. Cut excess meat and fat from each layer of tail but leave each layer in tact (do not separate into individual feathers). Stretch out each fan into semi-circle using 2" nails to fasten in place.
Mix water and borax to make a paste. Apply paste liberally to base area of each fan and beard end. Let dry for approximately 2 weeks for curing purposes. When curing is complete, clean all excess, dried borax from all parts.
When stacking fan tails, apply hot glue to the base of each fantail to ensure no movement occurs. When glue is cool and dry, remove nails. Stack the fantails and secure them by using hot glue. Hot glue your tail into the mount insert making sure to center it and get it how you want it. Cut spurs and hot glue in place. Hot glue the beard in hole provided. Enjoy your trophy turkey fan mount!
Half Turkey Fan Mount
For your Half Turkey Fan Mount, follow the Standard Turkey Fan Mount procedure for processing fantail and beard. If you are displaying the legs on this mount, cut the legs and remove the tendons and as much as the inner material as possible. Soak legs in the degreasing or non-flammable liquid solution for 10 minutes. Make sure your legs are in the form that you want to display them. Apply borax liberally to legs and let sit for 2 weeks. Clean all borax from legs, paint (if preferred) and hot glue into position desired on plaque. Enjoy for years to come!
Full Turkey Fan Mount
For the Full Turkey Fan Mount, follow the Standard Turkey Fan Mount procedure for processing fantail and beard. The Full Mount includes wings so you will need to drill out wing bones and soak in the degreaser or non-flammable liquid solution for 10 minutes. When removing the wings from the solution, let drain out. To speed up the process you can use air pressure and hair dryer.
Fill areas with borax and pin wings to desired position. Position the wings to the Full Turkey Fan Mount plaque and hot glue. Enjoy your turkey fan mount and memory for years to come!

I have a love/hate relationship with Halloween. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE dressing up the kiddos and carving jack o'lanterns. I could do without the haunted houses and the sugar highs though. I had a terrifying experience at a haunted prison in college, and I'm pretty sure it scarred me for life. Luckily my kids are still little and more interested in happy pumpkins and friendly witches than mummies and escaped convicts. As for the sugar highs….what's with all the AirHeads and Tootsie Rolls in the candy buckets this year? They must have been on sale or something, but the dang things are way too chewy for my kids to eat and frankly, they hurt my teeth and give me a headache. Wah, wah, wah, I know, I'm a candy snob. We've acquired a LARGE bowl of goodies from our Halloween outings last weekend, and I'm proud to say that I threw most of it away (and put aside a few of the Butterfingers for me, hehehehehe). 🙂
Looking for a Halloween treat not laden with a ton of artificial gunk? My mini popcorn balls are made with air popped popcorn and naturally sweetened with honey. They also happen to be the perfect portion size for little witches, ghosts and goblins! Drizzle with a bit of dark chocolate and sprinkle with some festive sprinkles for an impressive addition to any boo-tiful Halloween dessert table. Enjoy! 🙂
- 20 cups air popped popcorn (about 1 cup of kernels)
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate melting wafers (I use the Ghirardelli brand)
- Halloween sprinkles
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Line a roasting pan with foil.
- In a medium saucepan over medium high heat melt the butter.
- Add the honey and salt. Stir constantly for 2 minutes. The mixture should be bubbling.
- Add the vanilla and pour over the popcorn. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula to ensure all the popcorn is well coated with the honey mixture.
- Bake for 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.
- Using buttered hands, form the popcorn into balls and place on a wax paper lined baking sheet.
- Add a popsicle stick to each ball.
- Drizzle with melted chocolate and sprinkle with Halloween themed sprinkles.

Many, of course, feel differently on the subject. Many, in fact, feel strongly differently.
Which has led to many a conversation on the subject in which I heard expressed people's concerns and confusion. On everything from the philosophical to the eminently practical, including the query of how necessary guardianship is and whether it's even available in the case of a higher functioning individual and what, if any, other options to guardianship might be available.
I have often been asked, for example, whether a person with a disability could simply execute a Power of Attorney (POA) in favour of the parent instead of the parent having to go through the guardianship process. For the past few days I've been working on a blawg post which tried to cover all the issues inherent in that particular question. This evening I realized there are simply too many points to simply throw into one post.
So. Time for Plan B.
I am going to try to respond to
So far, the issues I hope to cover include
- What options, other than guardianship, are available in Nova Scotia to transfer or support the decision-making power of an adult with a disability
- What rights, exactly, are "taken away" from the person with a disability if guardianship is granted and what are the practical effects of this
- In the case of higher functioning adults, whether guardianship is
- a legally-available option; or
- even necessary
- the level of competency that is required in order to execute a valid POA
- potential issues surrounding the revocation of a POA
- which decision-making powers are transferred with a POA
- what other documents might be required to transfer other decision-making powers not covered by a POA
- using a POA to open a RDSP on behalf of another individual
So there you have it. My plan, at least for the moment.
Unless, of course, you, dear reader, would care to throw some additional questions/issues on the subject into the mix. In which case, drop me a comment or an email and let me know over the next
few days week.
In the meantime, stay tuned. And watch this space.

Remember Lil Dicky? He's the guy who went viral about six months ago for making a very epic music video for nearly no money called"$ave Dat Money." He's back, but this time he's made a video lecturing the Internet about why you should use a condom, sponsored by Trojan.
RELATED:Birth control for women in the U.S.
The video is pretty simple: Lil Dicky tells a story about his friend Jordan who had sex with a woman in a bathroom at a restaurant where he and Lil Dicky were eating brunch.
In the story Jordan didn't use a condom and Lil Dicky says to Jordan:"OK, Jordan let's talk about the next day. Let's talk about the potenial condequences of that. You got up in that raw sex, texting your friends about it, ejaculate inside of her, fully satisfied. Hope you're satisfied," Lil Dicky winds up. "How does it feel to go to work tomorrow with HIV?" he deadpans.
RELATED:Why your nextcondomshould be vegan
And then Lil Dicky gets serious, waxing on for the remainder of the video about why you should just use a condom.
How could it be possibly worth the risk? "Condom sex is still cool! It still feels good!" Lil Dicky yells in exasperation.
The video is pretty funny and is also a great reminder to wrap it up before you get down:

Introduction — July 6, 2017
The Trump administration is playing an incredibly dangerous game of deception double cross.
On the one hand it claims to be fighting terrorists in Syria and Iraq. While on the other hand it is supporting "moderate" rebel groups opposed to Syrian President Assad. In many cases those purported "moderate" rebel groups are on amicable terms with al Qaeda and al-Nusra and in some cases there is little to distinguish them from Islamic State.
What Islamic State (ISIS,ISIL or Daesh), al Qaeda and al Nusra have in common with U.S.-backed "moderate" groups is that they are all trying to oust President Assad. This was a foreign policy objective under the Obama administration, although it was thwarted by Russian intervention in Syria, and it seems to remain so under Trump.
Despite his pre-election promises Trump still seems intent on ousting President Assad.
The Russian and Iranian forces and Hezbollah are all in Syria at the invitation of the legitimately elected government of President Assad. The U.S. and its proxy forces are not.
That's worth remembering because the following report fails to mention that U.S. forces are not in Syria at the invitation of President Assad. They are there assisting a dubious collection of "Syrian rebels" in an effort to oust him.
Intentionally or not, that's a crucial distinction that the Washington Free Beacon fails to mention.
By authorizing strikes on Iranian forces and Hezbollah, the U.S. runs the risk of getting more deeply involved in an already dangerous conflict. Like pouring gasoline on a fire this has the potential to inflame a regional conflict and turn it into something much bigger.
Despite the transition from Obama to Trump, U.S. foreign policy doesn't seem to have changed one bit. Regime change in Damascus and from there Tehran still seems the prime objective. Ed.
Trump Admin Authorizes Strikes on Iranian-Backed Forces
Adam Kredo — Washington Beacon July 5, 2017
U.S. forces have been instructed to take all measures needed to protect American interests in Syria, including military measures, as part of an effort that comes after top officials in the Trump administration assessed that Iran is deliberately probing American weaknesses and reactions on the Syrian battlefield, according to senior Trump administration officials who spoke to the Washington Free Beacon.
Iran-backed forces, including Hezbollah, have already initiated multiple encounters with the United States by violating agreements worked out between Washington and Moscow aimed at preventing the various factions targeting ISIS inside Syria from coming into conflict. This is part of a campaign that analysts inside and outside the White House believe is aimed at testing the Trump administration's resolve, sources said.
"That was very clearly a process of the Iranians and Hezbollah and [the] Syrian regime probing and testing our limits, and testing how much we were willing to do," one senior Trump administration official said. "In every case, it was a matter of them testing and probing, and us responding by defending ourselves."
These clashes were the result of pro-Syrian regime forces, including Iran and Hezbollah, "violating a de-confliction measure that had been worked out with the Russians," the official said. "The forces violated the measure."
The Trump administration has instructed U.S. forces to respond to Iranian attacks with force if necessary.
"What they found out very quickly," said the official, was "us responding by defending ourselves. What was established was that we're determined to defend ourselves."
This defensive action is being implemented at the same time the Trump administration turns its attention to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), the Islamic Republic's paramilitary force that coordinates operations in Syria and other warzones.
Trump administration officials view the IRGC as being part of "every malignant protrusion of the Iranian regime," according to one administration official, who said the White House is dually focused on choking off this force.
The actions by U.S. forces are part of a broader pushback against Iran, ranging from battlefield responses to diplomatic action, according to a veteran Iran policy analyst who has been briefed by the White House both on parts of the Syria strategy and on parts of an ongoing Iran policy review being conducted by the administration.
The Free Beacon first reported many details of the review several weeks ago, including actions by the Trump administration to potentially block the sale of U.S. commercial aircraft to Tehran.
"For the first time since the U.S. intervened into the Syrian conflict, American forces have been authorized to do take all measures to defend U.S. interests against Iranian provocations and aggression," said the source. "This is part of a concrete strategy that has already been implemented in part, and is being bolstered every day, but very senior Trump officials. No more of watching U.S. forces get rolled in Syria, and also no more of thanking Iran after they seize our sailors in the Gulf.
One senior Trump administration official familiar with the Iran policy review said the White House is currently "in the thick of it," evaluating a range of options to confront Iran's global terror operations.

2018 budget is expected to empower tahfiz institution: Asyraf Wajdi
Posted on 5 October 2017 - 07:08pm

LANGKAWI: Tahfiz institution in Malaysia is expected to be empowered after the tabling of the 2018 Budget by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak in Parliament later this month.
Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki said Najib's recent announcement to include safety aspect of tahfiz institution in the budget showed the government's continuous commitment to help the institution.
"There have been continuous aid given by the government to tahfiz institution and the allocation has also been increased over the years," he told reporters after opening the Taffaquh Fiddin programme for northern zone religious teachers here today.
He said aid provided by the government were not limited to the tahfiz institutions managed by state governments, but also to tahfiz centres and schools operated by individuals and the private sector.
"We want to ensure that the prime minister's aspiration and what had been provided by the government would be put to optimal use to improve the safety aspect at all tahfiz insitutions," he said.
The prime minister had recently said that he would make an announcement on tahfiz schools nationwide in the 2018 Budget.
Najib, who is also Finance Minister, said it was hoped that with the announcement, a more stern action could be taken, especially on the issue of the safety of tahfiz students.
Meanwhile, Asyraf Wajdi said it was estimated that 400 tahfiz schools nationwide had yet to register with the Islamic religious department in their respective states.
As such, he advised the operators of the schools to register to enable the government to channel aid and assistance to ensure the safety of the students.
"The public must also play the role to send their children only to registered tahfiz school," he added. — Bernama

Building A Fruitful Ministry
Posted on 15. Aug, 2011 by Martin Schmaltz.
It is common in the church world to create programs with positions, and then seek to assemble ministry teams based on the needs of the program. Many times individuals are asked to participate in areas that may not allow them to excel in their gifting. Unfortunately, this results in a lack of fruitfulness, which produces frustration and a high turnover of individuals and the program fails. Is there an answer? Can we make ministry more fruitful and fulfilling? I believe the answer is yes! It begins with our foundation.

Disclaimer: I don't own Mass Effect, Bioware and EA do.
A/N: Like virtually every Mass Effect fan, after finishing ME3 I was hit by sudden disappointment. It was like I'd been handed a perfect meal, with an incredible starter and main course and then suddenly at the very bottom of the splendid dessert I found a piece of dog shit. It wasn't a great moment.
So, like virtually every Mass Effect fan, I said 'Fuck this shit, I'm writing my own ending.' And here is the first part of it. This will be a multi-chapter fic with a fair bit of action in (because I hate superweapons on principle). I don't know how often I'll update because my computer has currently lost its lead, and I don't expect to get a replacement for several weeks by which time I'll be back at the grindstone of work.
Some necessary background about my Alice Shepard: She's Colonist Sole Survivor, mostly paragon with a huge saving people thing and a renegade streak (because that's the best sort of paragon). She romanced Liara, stayed true to her all the way through, and bromanced Garrus and Wrex, and more recently Vega. Ashley died on Virmire. Pretty much all her choices were paragon (Saved Maelon's data, saved the geth and the quarians, etc.) save her saving of Aralakh company over the Rachni and her choosing Morinth over Samara (because she got angry – she's got a horrible temper and often says things she regrets). Also she got the maximum possible War Assets before heading anywhere near Earth, and didn't lose anyone on the suicide mission. She likes 20th and 21st century music and movies.
Also thoughts are in italics.
Prologue: No Fate but what We Make for Ourselves
It took a while before things clicked.
The child – the Catalyst – had appeared to her, offered her three choices. Three impossible choices, choices that made her aching head burn just to consider them.
The Catalyst had told her that with the Crucible she could do what the Illusive Man had wanted, what he'd said – take control of the Reapers, make them do whatever she asked of them; she could tell them all to take a swim in the core of a star and they happily would. Of course, there was the obvious disadvantage of the destruction of the Mass Relays, which would at the very least set back galactic civilisation by several centuries, and at worst would destroy the systems the Relays were in – the image of the ring of devastation spreading across the galaxy map after the Alpha Relay's destruction spreading itself in her imagination across system after system, destroying everything that she'd worked to save. Not to mention the risks of merging with Reapers as a whole.
Then there was option two – synthesis, as the Catalyst called it. Merge all synthetic and organic life, create some sort of hybrid of the two based on her own construction. Again, this would involve her death, and again for some reason the destruction of the Mass Relays. In addition there was no saying what this new hybrid life would be like – and she knew that no-one would want this forced on them, no-one. It reeked too much in her mind of the modifications Cerberus had made to her, and while they had no doubt saved her life, she wouldn't wish them on the Reapers themselves.
The last seemed like the best when you looked at it straight away. Destroy the Reapers, destroy all of them forever and ever. Except it also killed all synthetic life-forms in general – EDI, the geth, it didn't matter. Legion's sacrifice would have been for nothing, her philosophical debates with EDI – all of it wasted. Especially as the Mass Relays would, once again, be detonated.
Her whole life Commander Shepard had made a career out of finding another option. She'd survived Akuze, taken down Saren, and gone through a suicide mission without a single casualty. She'd fixed age old enmities and made them alliances. There had to be another way. There had to be.
She ran through the options again. She was growing dizzy, and she knew that if she didn't choose soon she wouldn't be able to – her medi-gel had run dry long ago, and her armour was scorched and melted onto her. Blood ran down her face. The pain had stopped being sharp, but it lurked in the back of her mind, a dull throb ready to rise and overwhelm her.
Surely it's simple. Surely the only way to honour the sacrifices of so many dead is to ensure the Reapers' deaths. This is what they fought for. Do it!
But, murmured another thought, but you'll end one genocide with another. The geth aren't just robots any more, and EDI, EDI who trusts you, who reminds you so much of a sister, and Joker, who's stood by you through everything. Oh how you'll be repaying them. Not to mention anyone with any form of cybernetic enhancement. And we haven't even approached the devastation caused by the destruction of the Mass Relays.
But the galaxy will be free. Maybe the whole universe. The Reapers will be gone, and surely after all that we've built it won't be too challenging to build a Mass Relay. The good of the many – but then again you've never thought about that. Let's face it Shepard, you're selfish. So selfish. You'll choose those who you know personally – it's why you saved Aralakh Company, why you cured the genophage, why when you got the information about the Shadow Broker you went running to Liara instantly, not waiting to give the ship its vital repairs. You just can't face dying again, being separated from her again. Do the right thing for once the voice hissed at her, save everyone who's died.
She almost staggered towards the console. Almost. I...I can't do it. I can't wipe out all synthetic life.
Synthetic life...her head was echoing. A solution seemed so close, so very close. If she could just rest...just rest for a little while. Make tremendous sacrifices...I can't, Liara. Goddamn me, I can't do it. Goddamn me but I want to, I want to go to that place with you, so far away no-one could find us, I want the little blue children. I swore I'd always come back to you. I can't end all synthetic life.
Synthetic life...
And suddenly, so suddenly it hurt, her brain swung into gear and she had a plan, a real solid plan.
'No fate,' she gasped. The words slipped from her mouth involuntarily.
'What?' The child shape of the Catalyst flickered in front of her.
She grinned, the taste of blood sharp in her mouth. 'No fate but what we make for ourselves.'
With an effort of will she forced herself to stand up straight, bones aching, body afire with pain. 'It's an old quote from an old movie, but that's not the point. The point is that things always seem set in stone, but with enough willpower, with enough tenacity, you can change them.' For half a moment she forgot what she was trying to say as another wave of pain swept over her. Then she remembered.
'So. Here's my choice: fuck you. Fuck your fucking mindgames, fuck your stupid ideas. I don't care what you were made for, what you made the Reapers for, or whatever pansy-ass choices you were programmed to offer me.' The words were spilling through her now, all the rage that she had kept under control as she saw a million burning worlds was released from the dam that had held it back.
'We'll fight the Reapers ourselves, on our own terms. I don't care if we end up like the Protheans, fighting to the last man, because that'll be our fate, from start to finish, ours. So fuck you. I'm Commander Shepard, and I make my own destiny.'
Her hand shot to her communicator. 'Admiral Hackett, do you read me? This is Commander Shepard. The Crucible is a trap, I repeat, the Crucible is a trap. I require immediate evac from this position – the Citadel's a fucking Reaper. Admiral Anderson is seriously wounded.'
The communicator hissed '...Shepa...ker...n our way...Hold...' The words whined away into static as the child-shape in front of her frowned.
'We had hoped that you would have had the mental strength required to make this choice. This is the way things must be, Shepard. You know this.' For a moment the child seemed to grow huge. Its voice echoed and distorted, layered and familiar – this was the voice she had heard from Harbinger, from Sovereign. From the Reaper dying on Rannoch. It echoed in her head, deep and low and menacing in its rumbling.
'We will find another.' Then the Catalyst disappeared.
Shepard sank to the ground once more, then hauled herself up again. Anderson lay unconscious nearby and with effort she staggered towards him. Bent down.
Come on Shepard. The voice in her head was softer now, no longer so insidious. You can do this.
She wrapped her arms around Anderson and with a grunt and heave lifted him across her shoulders. Almost instinctively her biotics flared up to prevent her knees from collapsing under the weight.
Then the ground beneath her shook and she almost collapsed again, knee thunking into the hard metal floor, spots dancing across her vision. Familiar blackness moved across her eyes.
No! I won't give in. No fate...
She struggled up – but what we make for ourselves.
Flight Lieutenant Jeffrey Moreau had thought the worst day of his life had been over Alchera.
He was quickly revising his opinion.
'How the hell is that thing still on my tail?' he shouted, looking over his shoulder, half expecting to find the Reaper that had been pursuing him for the past half hour in the cockpit, blaring in his ears. 'I mean, not that I'm not flattered.' For what seemed like the millionth time he flung the Normandy into a spin as red fire lanced towards it, moving aside without losing any momentum. 'But there's only so much I can do at once.' His hands flew across the haptic interface, lining up the next set of manoeuvres. Even through the artificial gravity he felt the Normandy flip up like a roller coaster, turning back to face its pursuer. Almost...and now! His hand hammered on the fire control and twin streams of blue punched from the Normandy's nose and deep into the Reaper's heavily weakened shields. For a moment they were held back, then the accelerated ceramic punched through like a needle and smashed into the hard black shell of the Reaper. With a whoop Joker flipped the Normandy back into its previous path but not before firing a pair of Javelin Missiles that tore into the hole the Thanix Cannon had made, ripping the Reaper apart.
'That's what, seven Reapers I've killed now? Does the Normandy have some sort of badge on it saying "Hey, Reapers, this is Commander Shepard's ship – please shoot" – oh shit.' The Normandy danced out of the way of an exploding turian cruiser. 'How's the communications' blackout EDI?'
'I am currently tasked to capacity preventing electronic intrusions into the Normandy's computers. However, what communications I've intercepted and managed to decode indicate that while Hammer suffered over fifty percent casualties, all squad members on the Normandy's ground team – or who have been on the Normandy's ground team in the past – have survived, though some are critically injured.'
'And Shepard?'
'There is still no word of Commander Shepard, or Admiral Anderson, though the opening of the Citadel's arms and a fragment of communication I have intercepted from Admiral Hackett indicate that at least one of them is alive.'
Joker spared a second to glance across at EDI. To anyone else she would have sounded exactly the same as ever, but her normally dulcet, gentle and sexy voice – goddamn it Flight Lieutenant, focus – was tinged with a hint of worry. And if he was honest with himself, he was pretty concerned too – it had been several minutes since the Crucible had aligned itself with the Citadel, and still nothing had happened.
'How are the fleets holding up then?' He flicked his fingers and a squadron of Oculi vanished in a flash of blue.
'The fleets have suffered overall casualties of eleven point two four percent casualties by my last set of calculations. Further breakdown is – ' She stopped suddenly. 'Incoming communication. The signal indicates it is from Commander Shepard.'
Suddenly there was a hiss over the communications channel. 'Admira...read me? This...Comm...epard. The Crucible is a trap, I rep...is a trap. I req...immediate evac...adel's a fucking Reap...derson's seriously wounded.' Broken up and distorted, it was still clearly Shepard, defying the odds once again and surviving the impossible. Joker couldn't have kept the smile off his face if he'd tried. Until he actually thought about her words, but that could wait.
'Commander Shepard, this is Joker. We're on our way to pull you out of the fire once again. Hold tight. Normandy out.' He closed the channel the pumped the fist and let out a little whoop. The Commander's alright...then he frowned. 'Hey EDI, what was that about the Crucible being a trap?'
She turned her head to him. 'I am not certain Jeff. The communication was distorted by the signal jammers the Reapers are using, but –'
Suddenly the Normandy shook, and as Joker peered at his displays he noticed something. As obviously had every other ship on the battlefield.
'The Citadel...Christmas tree!'
'...goddamn Mass Relay...'
Joker's eyes suddenly widened. Then the first Reaper disappeared near the Citadel with a whoosh of light.
'They're bugging out. The Reapers are bugging out!'
More and more Reapers were pulling away from combat towards the Citadel, disappearing in pulses of blue light. But as they did so they left themselves open, and gathering itself together the greatest fleet that this cycle had seen pounced on them.
Geth cruisers spat millions of tiny fragments of metal a second, so many it seemed like a constant stream, that wore down the shields of the huge mechanical monsters. Turian frigates launched missile after missile, knocking down weaker shields and destroying unshielded Reapers in huge barrages, while Asari dreadnoughts provided a covering fire of sorts, smashing the Reapers and stunning them as much as possible. Human fighters pounded Oculi, preventing them from taking on the larger ships, while larger ships stood toe to toe with the smaller Reapers that had been dubbed 'Nymphs' by the ground forces.
In minutes, the number of Reapers destroyed over Earth doubled. Their designs left them unable to fire and retreat, and while they tried to cover each other the overwhelming command from their master left them uneasy and prone to simply obey, backing towards the Citadel. This was how Harbinger met his fate, racing towards safety, when he was intercepted by a wave of superheated and accelerated ceramic focused at a single point. He'd already suffered overwhelming fire, but this was the end. As it accelerated towards him he found a channel from the ship had been opened and heard an organic on the other end ask him whether he knew that the attack hurt him. Harbinger had enough time in the seconds it took for the ceramic to burn through his outer shell and into his drive core to attempt to hack back through the channel, fail three times and then begin a reply before he detonated in a flash of light.
'Make that eight Reapers EDI, including the big guy.' Joker's smile grew wider as he pushed the Normandy to its maximum speed as it shot towards the Citadel, dodging around one black and red shape after another. I'm not going to let the commander die on my watch again. Never again.
Shepard took another shaking step as the Citadel once again rumbled beneath her. At first she'd been able to see through the windows as she headed down towards an extraction point – but then she'd reached darkened corridors, and then she'd stopped caring as all that mattered had become keeping one foot in front of the other, keeping Anderson on her back.
She didn't know when she'd stopped using muscles to hold him up and started just using biotics, or when the blood that had merely been trickling from her nose had become a full on flood. She couldn't say how she'd managed to break her leg – or whether in fact it had been broken before, and she'd only just noticed because of the yellow white bone peeking out of her armour.
Just keep going. Liara'll be waiting for me. She tried to suppress the part of her brain that told her that Liara had been standing awfully close to her when Harbinger's beam hit. And then...then we'll go somewhere away from here, far away...somewhere cool and green. With mountains. And water. Somewhere no-one can find us, where there's no war – wait, with some ruins. Liara loves –
The metal floor beneath her pulsed once more and she found herself collapsing to one knee. Get up, she screamed at it internally, get up, you lazy piece of shit. Her thoughts had somehow become her drill-sergeant's voice on the third day of basic. Do you want what happened to your parents to happen to others? Oh you do, because I don't see you moving. Up! She staggered upright once again. The pain was immense, but that appeared to be a permanent state of things now. A little more didn't hurt.
The floor shook again and she collapsed again. What is this, battlemaster, defeated by a station? A soft one too – never liked the Citadel. Grunt's voice growled in her head. We defeated a Thresher Maw, on foot, and fought the damned Rachni. You can stand up, can't you?
Staggering, she clawed upright again. And promptly collapsed as the floor shook even more. It was a steady dull vibration now, like the engine of a ship. This is ridiculous, Alice, purred her thoughts. Turians might not know how to duck, but we definitely know how to stand. Come on, Shepard, you can do it. It's just a corridor. It doesn't even shoot lasers, or rockets. You can outshoot me, you can definitely make it down here.
She didn't even try to stand this time. She simply dragged herself, slowly and carefully along the floor, keeping Anderson on her. There was a strange rushing in her ears and a pulsing in her thoughts, something just out of reach, a high whining note in her head, whispers plucking at her mind.
I've never known anyone stronger than you Shepard. The voice was soft, and for a moment all was calm. For a moment, Shepard could swear she saw blue skin, brilliant blue eyes.
I'm coming Liara. After all this time I'm coming home to you.
Slowly she stood. One leg first, knee bent, then as it began to straighten the next. The doors of perception suddenly seemed to have opened around her, and she could see the Normandy, beautiful and shining and coming towards her over hundreds of miles to bring her home. But she could also see the last of the Reapers vanishing into the distance as it was swept up in the Mass Relay field, see the build up of energy around the Citadel.
After her rebirth, Cerberus had gifted her with biotics. At first she hadn't a clue how to use them – but more than a year of sitting around on Earth had given her plenty of practice. And in particular she had mastered one technique she had seen a traitorous spectre named Tela Vasir use.
With an effort, Shepard turned herself and Anderson into pure biotic energy and charged through the corridors towards the Normandy.
She rematerialised and ran straight into a wall, a gasp bursting out of her throat as the pain she had thought couldn't get worse swelled around her head. With a grunt, she threw herself into another charge.
This time as she came out she felt her ears burst under the pressure of the blood that had been stuck behind them, and collapsed to the ground, silence echoing around her.
She couldn't do it. Shepard was finally beaten.
The floor shook mightily suddenly, and she knew that this was it, that the Citadel was now about to do what no other Mass Relay could – transit itself, through itself. And she would be sucked along for the ride.
And yet through the earthquake, the wind and the fire, a small voice spoke into her. Use me.
Time slowed. Her heartbeat seemed impossibly loud, the air charged with lightning. For some reason she found a smile split her face. Biotic energy gathered around her, building up to levels that she'd never even seen before, and still it grew, gathering behind her and round her, boxing her in and caressing and healing her. The floor split beneath her, crumpling and blackening. The walls warped towards her as the glow around her increased more.
Then with one final push she was gone, speeding away across the miles like they didn't exist and down, down to the Normandy, Anderson across her back.
She rematerialised inside the cockpit behind Joker. He spun to face her, face wide in surprise and alarm.
'Anderson needs immediate medical attention,' she somehow managed to say through the blood. 'I need transport down to –'
Then the Normandy shook as a brilliant blue light dazzled her from outside its windows and she fell sideways, whatever had sustained her suddenly disappearing as quickly as it had come and then she was deep into the blissful blackness of unconsciousness.

Digest: Terra Firma makes EMI play
EmptyPrivate-equity firm Terra Firma on Wednesday formally launched its £2.4 billion ($4.7 billion) takeover play for music major EMI Group Plc., effectively setting a June 27 deadline for any counterbids. Sources said that Warner Music Group still is considering a rival proposal to the £2.65 per-share deal as is former EMI Music CEO Jim Fifield. With EMI's stock having recently moved above the price of the Terra offer, the market seems to expect a higher counter offer.
AT&T competitive
AT&T Inc.'s incoming CEO Randall Stephenson said at a Lehman Bros. conference Wednesday that the telecom giant has all the assets it needs to be competitive. Some saw this as a signal that AT&T will not look to acquire a satellite TV firm to more aggressively compete for video customers with cable as some have suggested. Stephenson is set to replace Ed Whitacre on Monday.
Nielsen mixed
The Nielsen Co., parent company of The Hollywood Reporter, reported a lower first-quarter operating profit Wednesday as one-time items outweighed a 5% revenue increase, assuming constant currencies, to $1.1 billion. Operating profit of $56 million compared with the $62 million recorded a year ago period on a comparable basis. The latest quarter included $19 million in restructuring and $8 million in other special costs.
Ubisoft positive
European video game publisher Ubisoft wants to stay cash positive in the current fiscal year even as it looks at acquisitions, chairman Yves Guillemot said Wednesday. CFO Alain Martinez told Reuters that Ubisoft is looking at two or three opportunities, notably development studios. He did not give details, but said possible targets are in the €1 million-€20 million ($1.3 million-$26.9 million) range.

looking back, it has been nearly two months since I brewed a beer.
My last two experiments were Brewdog clones with varying adjustments to allow for limitations on grains and hops currently available.
While the brewing process was mostly successful, I hit a couple of issues at bottling stage which resulted in pretty poor quality beers.
Firstly, I tried using brewing sugar instead of the normal granulated cane sugar. Secondly, I tried heavily dry hopping which caused major clogging issues for the my Hopped Up Pale Ale clone – A solution was found for the American Red Ale.
The pale ale was marred with extreme sedimentation throughout whilst both contained less carbonation that I wanted. The damage was already done.
These failures mixed with the fact that brewing has been a pretty lonesome hobby to date made it very difficult for me to remain motivated in keeping things going. Not to mention the cost of the waste and general disinterest in people trying my beers.
My problem is more in finding and focusing on people with similar interests and those who are happy to try my beers. Any feedback, whether the beer is good or bad would be invaluable.
I think that by communicating with the right people, I can keep motivated regardless of how my beers turn out.
It would also make homebrewing a worthwhile hobby and something that I can do long term.
Social media has been a great resource in finding people with similar interests but it has lacked the communication side of things so far.
I'll get a few likes on Twitter, even more on Instagram and next to nothing on Facebook.
But the likes are limited and only offer a quick fix in terms of satisfaction over what I've just completed or achieved.
I want to be able to communicate with people, share common goals and discuss beer rather than clicking a quick like button here and there. I want things to really count.
Perhaps I'm not communicating in the right way or with the right people? Maybe I'm just over thinking the whole thing?
Starting on the 11th June 2016, I'll be getting back on the homebrewing. My plan is to continue where I left off and look to push my beers more seriously on the general public through work, try to enter competitions where possible and see what I can do to share my experiences both using my blog and through Social Media.
I love talking about beers and homebrewing and can't wait to get back into it.
Providing that I can find the recipes, I will be brewing what were supposed to be my next projects. Here are the deets :-
Hopped Up Black IPA
The Black IPA will be pretty basic on the malts. Opting for the crisper and cleaner extra pale malts for the base with the addition of caramalt and dark crystal to provide a little sweetness, some toffee flavour and add to to the darker colour. Carafa I & Carafa III will be added to provide the dark colour I'm looking for, along with an espresso aromas and a chocolate\coffee flavour without being too bitter. The crispness of the beer along with the flavour of the hops need to sing here.
The hops will be purely American.
I'll be boiling in plenty of Simcoe which acts as a great dual purpose hop giving an abundance of pine, fruit and earthiness. I'll later dry hop with the aforementioned Simcoe as well as adding Cascade and Mosaic hops. The Cascade hops will give plenty of citrus of floral notes whilst the Mosaic will go down the tropical yet fruity route.
The IPA should be bursting with American hoppy flavour.
Finally, It will all be brought together with an American Ale yeast. I've been using Safale US-05 which has always offered great results at fermentation stage
Fairly British Porter
The Porter will again be made up of extra pale malts for the base but will include plenty of dark grains. I'll be including Dark Crystal for sweetness and colour, Amber malts which should help with the colour and impart a biscuity flavour and black malts to deepen the colour but also offer a deeply roasted and somewhat bitter flavour to the porter. Roasted barley will be used to build on the roasted flavour but should help with giving a dryer finish and oats will help to give body and help with head retention.
I'll be using a little Fuggles and East Kent Goldings to provide a purely British feel to the porter but will also add a touch of Willamette. Willamette is an American hop which pairs well with Fuggles and should be fine with the East Kent Goldings. Overall, these hops should give a floral, spicy and herbal tone to the beer both in flavour and aroma.
As with before, I'll be using an American Ale yeast in the form of Safale US-05 to bring everything together.
Join me on the 11th June where I'll Tweeting, Insta-Gramming and Blogging my progress.
More to come soon and thanks for following!

Absolutely nothing says exotic paradise really like an excursion towards the Hawaiian Island destinations. The volcanic archipelago dropped in the middle of the actual North Gulf of mexico stretches nw from the Large Island associated with Hawaii within the south via Maui, Kahoolawe, Lanai, Molokai, Oahu, The island of kauai and Niihau, each using its own identification and topography. Eleven much more islands, reefs and atolls comprise the particular Northwestern Hawaii Islands and they are all unoccupied.
Get Because Far Away As you can, Really
Visit Hawaii, typically the 50th condition of the Oughout. S. The., is the greatest getaway. The actual island-chain located 2300 kilometers from the landmass is the uncovered top of the enormous undersea volcanic hill range referred to as the Hawaiian-Emperor seamount cycle and is typically referred to as the most remote control and separated island outcropping on Earth.
Geographically, the islands tend to be more subject to warm weather, big waves as well as storms within the north/northeast part, know since the windward aspect. The leeward side of every island, for the southwest, is actually drier and therefore home on the majority of holiday resort towns. The particular incredible mixture of Polynesian, Tahitian and Western cultures creates a powerful adventure through the traditional luaus and tranquil Shinto shrines to the hippie-surfer culture rich in the much less touristy locations.
Kauai: Any One-Stop Local Experience
Typically the westerly tropical isle of The island of kauai is one of the lower inhabited island destinations and statements many of Hawaiis most spectacular natural functions. The mix of a more notable local populace with the the southern part of resort area and a invaluable backdrop can make Kauai the best escape during an escape.
Often the north shoreline offers globally renowned surfing and also windsurfing alongside the rich community regarding Princetown. The exact dramatically falling Na Pali Coast Condition Park inside the northwest pulls backpackers along with nature enthusiasts to the 11-mile Kalalau Trail, the only real land entry to this durable and remote coastline. Ocean cliffs and luxurious valleys alternative along the route which ends in Kalalau Seaside. Stone patio walls in addition to sacred funeral grounds involving Hawaiian tribes still us dot the miles, while there is really a growing naturalist community saved at the end of often the trail. The very wettest put on earth, averaging 460 ins of rainwater per year, will be near the top of Kauais Mount Waialeale. From this stage, plunging streams have created out the wonderful expanse connected with Waimea Encolure, coined The Grand Gosier of the Pacific by Tag Twain. The main views really are a once-in-a-lifetime encounter.
Resort or even Adventure, Choose your Enjoyment
Maui is among the most popular vacation resort destination within Hawaii. The plush island offers the magnificent and captivating Hana Freeway, which is much more the wonderful journey compared to secluded location, and Attach Haleakala, in which a hike in to the Haleakala Crater will property you down the middle of the planets largest foul volcano. The best Island with Hawaii may be the youngest isle and almost entirely made up of Mauna Alabanza, the largest protect volcano in the world. Lounge plus snorkel around the Kona area of the tropical island or go out across lava fields across the eastern coastline.
From the bustle of Honolulu and Waikiki on See to the peaceful serenity for Lanais soft sand beaches, the journey into the middle from the Pacific will definitely prove to a person that The hawaiian islands is more than simply pineapples and even coffee.

Katie and Mike's Wedding Quilt....
Those of you who know me, know that I've been working on a wedding quilt for my sister pieced from our father's ties. Here it is...
Urban Amish remix...mistake or success?
Sometimes we learn more from our mistakes than our successes. And sometimes we can turn one of those mistakes into a big success. That's what Alice did with her recent attempt at the Urban Amish quilt pattern.
Here's the back story…Alice took the Intro to Patchwork class a few months ago and made a fun little boogie woogie quilt for the baby she's expecting this winter. Bitten by the quilting bug, she decided to try her hand at the Urban Amish quilt. One bad cutting mistake later…and her pieces didn't line up correctly for the original pattern.
But that didn't stop Alice! No way. In fact that simple little mistake led to another and then yet another. And guess what? A whole new design strategy emerged.
Of course cutting rules are important to achieve the original design pattern. So if that's important to you, fix it. Start over and recut. Or you can think about using your "mistake" as a jumping off point for a whole new design direction and have some fun with it. Afterall, spontaneity and improvisation may make things much more interesting!
Katherine Hepburn once said, "If you obey all the rules, you'll miss all the fun."
Alice's quilt is definitely lots of fun!
You know you've been bitten by the quilting bug when you begin to see patchwork patterns everywhere you go.
Heather only started quilting two years ago, but now she notices the pattern play of tiles in her bathroom, the repeating design work of windows in Chicago's downtown skyscrapers and the rural patchwork that is America from the window of a plane cruising at 30,000 feet.
But it was this summer's trip to Spain that really got the quilt-spriation juices flowing with a visit to The Alhambra.
Heather writes…
"We wanted to hit a major landmark we heard was one of the most beautiful in Spain—The Alhambra—an old Moorish fort that's served as a summer palace in the South of Spain.
This castle is considered a UNESCO world heritage site so it's a huge tourist attraction. We had to buy our tickets in advance with a very specific window of time to enter the old palace.
Built in the 1300s by the Nasrid sultans who ruled a portion of Southern Spain until the late 1400s, the palace showcases amazing craftsmanship with beautiful wood and stone carvings and tile work that just screamed—MAKE A QUILT FROM ME!
Half of all the pictures I took on the 9-day trip were taken at the Alhambra. I know that some of the tile work could be easily recreated in a quilt, but the other designs appear much more complicated, and a little beyond my current quilting abilities. But you never know!
I'm including some of my photos. I hope they inspire you.
I'm thinking that a bed sized quilt based on the simple blue, yellow, and green blocks might be in my future."
...julie baeb designs
I thought I might share some fun pictures I received this week from Julie Beab.
Julie just started a new business making these really cute t-shirts and onesies that she personalizes with her fun and fab appliqué designs. The initials and ages are the most popular--which makes them just perfect when you need a special birthday present or baby shower gift.
The website is still under construction, but Julie is happy to email a copy of her catalog so you can see more examples of her work along with the t-shirt styles and fabric swatches she has available.

Oh baby...
Hey everybody—look what Sarah has been up to!
She's been busy making baby quilts for her girlfriends' new little ones. Thank goodness she's had some time to post the pictures to her blog.
Check them out…here's a sneak peek.
Baby Posh—a new pattern from our friends at the Blue Underground Studios--is a modern interpretation of patchwork. Sarah selected Kaffe Fassett's classic paperweight print as her focus fabric—and then splurged for our super soft turquoise minkee as the backing. Our friend Sally did the quilting on her long-arm machine, using a new retro pattern she downloaded from an Australian designer. Simple--yet sophisticated. What a lucky little baby!
And if you've been looking for way to use up those bits and pieces leftover from other projects, just take a look at what Sarah did with her scraps. I spy Amy Butler, Heather Bailey and Chic Blooms from Art Gallery Quilts. No piece goes unused here in Amy Butler's classic wallpaper design quilt. The pattern is a free download—the piecing easy—and the result—fabulous!
Don't be afraid to mix both small and large scale prints and then pop it with lots of color. You can keep it all harmonous by playing the color value game. When all your colors have the same intensity of color--they'll play nice together!
