Captain Phillips (2013)
Factual error: In the scene where the Navy Seals are riding in the cars, the VA state vehicle inspection can be read from behind. It read "6 13" for June 2013. This would have been correct for the period the film was made, but not for the time of the incident.
Add time
Continuity mistake: In the scene where the witch gives Mika the dagger to kill herself with, the witch stabs it into the floor. When the witch leaves the dagger is lying on the floor. When Mika goes to grab the dagger it is stuck in the floor again.
Revealing mistake: When Han shoots at Bruce Willis and the others with the Gatling gun, we see cartridges on the ground. You can tell that they are all blanks. The tip is jagged and has been closed - live ammo just has an open hole where the bullet was.
Add timeJacob La Cour
Fast & Furious 6 (2013)
Continuity mistake: During the chase scene on the bridge involving the tank, two cars (silver Toyota Corolla hatchback, licence NE34 12 and a black VW Bora, licence NU67 67) appear during many shots, often travelling in different directions on the bridge and either ahead or behind the chase.
Add timeAngryBird
Factual error: Lauda is an Austrian. Yet when his name appears on scoreboards with his country abbreviation, it shows AUS, which is for Australia. AUT is for Austria.
Add timePier Pistocchi
Pain & Gain (2013)
Factual error: The movie is set around 1995. But the SWAT team in the movie is wearing gear from the 2000s. (MICH-2000 helmet, modular tactical vest, M4 variant with picatinny rails and scope). Plus, in a scene when the guys are shopping for a taser (gun shop scene), some of the rifles on display are from 2000s era. AR-15 variants with variant stock, foregrip and picatinny rail. Those style of weapon system were unheard of in early 90s. Even Special Forces just adopted it by the late 90s.
Add time
Other mistake: The old man executed in District 11 was shot in the head from behind. However, when Katniss looks out the window from above there are no blood stains on the floor, nor is there a gunshot wound to the head.
00:20:50 - 00:22:30
Revealing mistake: Early on, after Clary blasts the demon with a homemade explosion that blows a huge fireball across the kitchen and blasts out the window, there is no sign of anything being burned, not even the curtains. The kitchen is only in a slight shambles and there are small fires burning in isolated areas that never spread or char anything.
Add timeraywest
Continuity mistake: They trick one witch with a record recording of a boy that is lost. H&G are thrown down by it and the witch picks up a branch and begins zooming off like it is a broom. Hansel is behind her, yet despite the witch traveling faster than he is running, somehow he suddenly gets in front of her and smacks her with his gun.
00:31:10Quantom X
Continuity mistake: After Batman shoots Reverse Flash through the head, Flash rushes over to Batman and catches him before he falls over from his wounds. As Flash is lying him down slowly, there is no blood on Batman's face. It then cuts to a close up as Batman reaches up to pull off his mask and there is suddenly blood on his lips and chin.
01:12:20Quantom X
Continuity mistake: In the scene when Yuri's daughter is getting away from the hotel, the color of the chopper changes from green to brown between shots.
Add time
Lone Survivor (2013)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Marcus is removing the shrapnel from his leg, when he gets to the last and largest piece, he places the medallion from his necklace in his mouth to bite down on. As the scene transitions from the leg to his face as it is removed, he appears to no longer have the medallion in his mouth. Then once the shrapnel is removed, he collapses and still has the medallion in his mouth.
Add timeDavid Dyer
Olympus Has Fallen (2013)
Factual error: When one of the terrorists fires an RPG into the security hut, all the windows in the cars standing nearby shatter. Ordinary windshields are made of laminated glass that doesn't shatter, not to mention that at least the SUVs used to transport the prime minister and his escort would surely be armored and therefore possess security glass.
Add time
Pacific Rim (2013)
Plot hole: The Kaiju's EMP fries all electrical circuits next to him, and affects the base as well. If that's true, how did the helicopters carrying Gypsy survive the blast without having their electronics fried? EMP pulses induce current in all electronics regardless of whether they're powered on or not.
01:18:00Marcus CaptainSlow Belicchi
The Lone Ranger (2013)
Continuity mistake: At the start of the train chase Tonto blows the whistle as he passes the bad guy who says "shoot him you idiot". The soldier opens fire with the machine gun and Tonto is suddenly back in front and passing him again.
World War Z (2013)
Other mistake: When Gerry and Segen are in the plane towards Cardiff, a zombie attacks a flight attendant and a whole section of the plane. Despite the fact that what's happening would be obvious to the passengers of that section, no one even tries to escape the attack by going to the back of the plane, in Gerry's section. Gerry and the passenger have the time to pile up luggage without anybody from the front section interfering.
Iron Man 3 (2013)
Continuity mistake: After Tony gets the armor back at the Mandarin's hideout and meets up with Rhodes, they go by boat to the harbor. On the way Tony calls the Vice President - during this scene the VP's phone changes, note the camera on the back of the phone is visible, but in another shot right after, it is a completely flat back panel.
01:30:10Kaison Vourne
White House Down (2013)
Factual error: When Sawyer and Cale take Cadillac One ("The Beast"), they eventually want to shoot a rocket launcher at the fence. Sawyer wants to do this while hanging out of the window. The real Cadillac one is bullet proof and have several layers of glass with the final one softer not only to prevent the bullet but the more deadlier threat glass pieces. Only the driver side can open approx 3 inches.
Add timeFriso94
Thor: The Dark World (2013)
Factual error: In the final fight scene with Malekith, Thor falls through a portal that brings him to Charing Cross station, where the lady on the train tells him he has to ride 3 stops to get to Greenwich. Charing Cross is not on the Jubilee Line and so not directly connected to Greenwich - even then it's a lot more than 3 stops.
Continuity mistake: While Shannon and Sarah are speaking to Robin, two people (a blond white guy and a black guy with a blue satchel) pass by the trio twice.
Add timeScott215
Factual error: When the shuttles are approaching the station, their engines are firing from the rear, meaning they are in constant acceleration toward the station. When arriving at a station, you would need to slow down as you approach, meaning the engines should be firing forward (or the shuttle should reverse direction). This happens in all scenes where shuttles are approaching the station.
Add time
After Earth (2013)
Visible crew/equipment: Just after Kitai left the tail section of the ship, he is seen walking through some leaves from top down. The camera crane shadow is visible on the leaves.
Factual error: At one point Khan threatens to target the Enterprise's life support systems which are located behind her "aft nacelle". The Enterprise doesn't have an aft nacelle; as the many exterior shots show, it has a port nacelle and a starboard nacelle. Khan a) is familiar enough with Starfleet ships to know this basic fact about the Enterprise, and b) can see its nacelles for himself on his own viewscreen while he's delivering this line. There is no "nacelle" housing the impulse engines. They are enclosed by the hull of the saucer section.
Man of Steel (2013)
Continuity mistake: When the woman is trapped at the end and Perry is trying to save her, the same car is crushed twice by the force of the world engine.
Add time
Continuity mistake: As Lex and Joker are talking on the bridge between two towers of Arkham Asylum, Joker is shown standing in the middle of the bridge. But when the guy on the intercom announces there is an escape going on, the camera changes angles and suddenly Joker is right next to the edge.
00:19:20Quantom X
Continuity mistake: Joe is looking through his yearbook while Marie chats with the old headmistress. He finds the page with Adrian's photo. At first, the name under the photo is Adrian Pryce. In the closeup shot, it now reads Adrian Doyle Pryce.
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, Oz gives his new assistant a gift, and leans in for a kiss. Both of them are seen to tilt their heads to their right for the kiss. The scene cuts to a wider shot, just before Frank barges in, and their heads are tilted to the left.

In a decision issue Friday morning, the Supreme Court of Canada unanimously overturned a judgment by the British Columbia Court of Appeal which held that a B.C. trial judge was right to ignore a plea bargain in a criminal case.
Speaking for the court, Justice Michael Moldaver upheld the importance of joint sentencing submissions to the criminal justice system. He ruled that judges should abide by what's known as the "public interest" test when determining the appropriateness of a plea bargain — a test that specifies they "should not depart from a joint submission unless the proposed sentence would bring the administration of justice into disrepute or is otherwise not in the public interest."
The appeal arose from a criminal trial in the B.C. Supreme Court, in which Matthew John Anthony-Cook was convicted of manslaughter. Anthony-Cook, who has a history of mental health and addiction problems, was asked to leave a Vancouver mental-health drop-in centre after causing a disturbance. Outside, he got into an altercation with one of the centre's male volunteers. Anthony-Cook punched the volunteer twice in the head, causing the man to fall backwards. The volunteer hit his head on the pavement and died of a skull fracture.
Anthony-Cook pled guilty to the manslaughter charge in court in June 2014. His counsel and the Crown prosecutor agreed on an 18-month jail sentence, which they jointly recommended to the court. However, the sentencing judge made the rare move of rejecting the plea bargain and imposed a harsher sentence of two years — plus three years — probation on Anthony-Cook. The judge ruled that a lesser sentence would be "unfit" given "the need for denunciation, deterrence, and protection of the public."
Anthony-Cook fought the judge's rejection of counsel's joint submission — not the finding of guilt — in the B.C. Court of Appeal. But that court backed the tougher sentence, saying the judge in question gave "careful consideration" to the "fitness" of the sentence.
The Criminal Code stipulates that "the court is not bound by any agreement made between the accused and the prosecutor" — and so the main issue facing the Supreme Court of Canada justices was determining what standard a sentencing judge should apply in deciding whether to accept or reject a plea bargain in future cases.
The court's judgment argued that a "stringent test" around plea bargains is needed because they are "vitally important to the well-being of our criminal justice system, as well as our justice system at large."
"Guilty pleas save the justice system precious time, resources, and expenses, which can be channeled into other matters. This is no small benefit," the judgment reads. "To the extent that they avoid trials, joint submissions on sentence permit our justice system to function more efficiently.
"Without them our justice system would be brought to its knees, and eventually collapse under its own weight."
For plea bargains to be possible, Moldaver argued that the parties in a case must have "a high degree of confidence that they will be accepted." He added that both Crown and defence counsel are "entirely capable of arrive at resolutions that are fair and consistent with the public interest."
In the case of Anthony-Cook, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the B.C. trial judge had erred in deviating from the plea bargain and reversed the B.C. Court of Appeal's decision.
"He asked only whether the joint submission was fit — he failed to take into account the important systemic benefits of joint submissions, and the corresponding need for them to be reasonably certain," the judgment reads. "The custodial term proposed, while low, was not so low as to bring the administration of justice into disrepute or be contrary to the public interest."
"In the end, the trial judge's deviation from the recommended custodial sentence — by only six months — amounts to little more than tinkering."
Moldaver also argued that the three-year probation was not necessary because Anthony-Cook remained certified under the B.C. Mental Health Act and would be supervised by a treatment team after serving his sentence — and because a probation order would "set the appellant up for failure."
Five associations applied to intervene in the case, including the BC Civil Liberties Association, the Attorney General of Ontario and the Ontario branch of the Criminal Lawyers' Association.
The BC Civil Liberties Association had argued that a trial judge "should not lightly disregard a joint sentencing submission agreed to by Crow and defence counsel."

The Girl That's Fucked Up
Siting a Rare Bird
The first time you see them, is the hardest. You are flooded with emotions that you don't know how to deal with. You've crossed a thresh hold from being together, and being each others "everything" to being almost strangers.
The second time is hard, but not as hard as the first. You recognize them, how different they look but not physically. In some ways you can see them happier, full of life. In others, they can be sulky, sadder. But either way, you convince yourself this is for the best. Whether you ended it or he did, you convince yourself it is for the better, because you will both be happier one day.
The third time is easier. You are past the shock of him, and you have seen how they have changed. Now, you look at the full picture. You see they're better, you see they've moved on, you see the truth in whats happened.
The fourth time, you just don't see him at all. Yes, you physically see him, but it doesn't register. Its like you're an empty vessel just standing, just staring at this guy you once loved walk past like a stranger. Yes, before that day you would've thought that would've been impossible to feel that way, but it isn't.

|The analysis of Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP) experiments involves mathematical modeling of the fluorescence recovery process. An important feature of FRAP experiments that tends to be ignored in the modeling is that there can be a significant loss of fluorescence due to bleaching during image capture. In this paper, we explicitly include the effects of bleaching during image capture in the model for the recovery process, instead of correcting for the effects of bleaching using reference measurements. Using experimental examples, we demonstrate the usefulness of such an approach in FRAP analysis.

6 More Emerging Designers to Know for the Indie Bag Boom
As we've written about several times in the past few months, we're in something of a golden age for emerging handbag designers. Because of online sales and social media, the opportunity for small brands to sell their wares and get them in front of shoppers is more accessible than ever before, and young, creative people from a variety of locales and backgrounds are making and selling some super interesting bags as a result. Many of those bags are also accessibly priced, which is even better.
Periodically, we like to highlight some of these brands that are starting to gain a toehold in the market and whose designs are well worth some love and attention, and we're glad we've had the opportunity to do that several times this year already-diversification of the bag market, both on aesthetic and price levels, is nothing but good for consumers. Below, check out a half dozen brands we've been following lately.

Mrs T is growing.
In size, certainly. Only a couple of weeks ago people were saying she didn't look as pregnant as she is, but now there's less escaping it. She's bought one pair of smart maternity trousers which she's living in at work (and slobbing it in jogging bottoms the rest of the time) and a few nice tops that are designed to grow with her and we hope will see her to the end. Most of her usual blouses are somewhat stretched now (and she hates it when the bits between the buttons gape open, so many are relegated to the "can't wear for a few months" pile).
But there's another thing that's growing: her excitement about Flicker. She's feeling him* move every day and is now, I think, beginning to find it quite reassuring. She's still not keen if he's too active when she's teaching, or eating, or trying to get to sleep, but I think I can understand that. I found her looking at the latest scan picture the other day and she admitted she often stops and looks at it. She's even chosen a colour scheme for the guest room.
On Saturday we went to a local "Baby and Toddler Fair". I guess I was more keen on the idea than Mrs T, but we went along and pottered around for a while. It was pretty much as I expected - lots of local traders and organisations touting for business - and we chatted to some about baby signing and toddlers' cookery classes among other things. Inevitably there was a small range of buggies and prams, so we had a good look at one and a long chat with the shop owner about the range. Although I've been doing a lot of reading about them, Mrs T has just let me get on with it as we're not planning to do any nursery shopping until the new year. But when we got home, she said to me, "Do you know what? I'm quite looking forward to looking at buggies now."
When the time comes for the buggy shopping to start in earnest, I've found that one of the big online retailers over here has a big showroom which is actually pretty nearby, so we're planning a trip to try them all out for size, weight, foldability, manoeuvrability, handlebar height, and of course style. It pretty much goes without saying that the ones I like so far are among the most expensive on the market. Do'h! Can you guess which ones?

Swift Current born artist Ken Christopher is hosting a two-day Art Harvest sales event Oct. 18-19 that will have a wide variety of original paintings on view.
"I've got an enormous amount of paintings," he said. "I have no idea — a hundred at least."
The idea for the event came about after a friend's visit to the studio. He then suggested to Christopher to do something with the paintings.
"So, he got the whole thing rolling," Christopher said.
He has been working as a professional artist since 1977 with numerous exhibitions across Canada and the United States. In addition to landscapes his works include human figures, western and abstract themes.
His works have been selected for prominent Canadian collections, including the Prime Minister of Canada's Collection, Edmonton Art Gallery, University of Calgary, Canada Council Art Bank in Ottawa and numerous corporate art collections such as Royal Bank and Shell Canada.
He is in his early seventies, but still painting actively and not giving any consideration to retiring from his lifelong passion.
"Well, Picasso didn't," he laughed. "Some of them do, but I just get more interested in it all the time."
His most recent landscapes are scenes from the Qu'Appelle Valley, where he has been visiting an 88-acre piece of land with a buffalo jump since last year.
"It's a very ancient native camp ground and it's got 20 or 30 teepee rings going back to before the horse era," he said. "It's absolutely magnificent with a spring 20 feet below the lip of the rim. It's about a 200 foot drop down to the bottom.So just below the rim is this treed spring that's bubbling and turns into a stream. It's absolutely magic."
Before that he completed a series of abstract paintings, called the wave particle series, which were displayed at the Lyric Theatre. Some of these works will be in his studio this weekend.
"They came out of a workshop on consciousness that I did with Victor Vernon Woolf about how consciousness is holodynamically stored in the cells of the body," he said. "I had this kind of vision as it happened in this whole series of paintings."
The scope of his work has always been very wide. Some of his earliest abstract paintings, dating back to 1975, are currently in the Salon invitational exhibition at the Art Gallery of Swift Current.
American abstract painter Jackson Pollock was an important influence when Christopher developed his own understanding of the modernist movement. He referred to a statement made by Pollock to explain his own integration of abstract and landscape painting in his art.
"He said 'I don't paint nature, I am nature,'" Christopher remarked. "So I'm doing both of them."
But during the early 1980s, his landscape paintings started to sell well and he did not have time to focus on his abstract art.
"I gradually incorporated some of those abstract ideas into the landscapes," he said. "So the ones done in the latter eighties were quite abstract."
Painting an abstract is a different process from creating a landscape, but he enjoys doing both.
"The abstracts come from the imagination, they come from inside," he said. "So, I'm following my intuition there. But I also have a tremendous colour sense, I can draw, and I love the beauty and the relationships of nature. So I'm looking for the same kind of harmonies in the abstract painting that I'm seeing in the landscape, but the one is produced outside and the other is produced inside."
He lived in Calgary for many years, but he returned to southwest Saskatchewan in 1997 and is staying on a farm in the Lac Pelletier area.
"I never liked the city," he said. "I managed to survive in a city by going out every day and painting landscapes. I'm a country boy. I don't miss it at all. … This is home. I'm absolutely stuck into this corner of the province."
His closeness to the land, which he described as spiritual, started when he was a young boy.
"I grew up on a piece of virgin prairie just on the edge of the Turkey Track ranch," he said. "I just lived in my imagination in this little valley that had a stream running through it. When I was eight years old the PFRA put a dam and ruined that valley and it was one of the biggest shocks of my life."
He also expresses his feelings for the land in his music. The lyrics of his country songs refer to ranching life and the natural cycles of the earth.
He will be participating in an upcoming dinner series organized by the Southwest Quest Art and History tour, which will consist of musical entertainment and an exhibition of local art in combination with a dinner.
Christopher's Art Harvest sales event is scheduled from 4-8 p.m. Oct. 18 and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Oct. 19. To reach his studio, watch for the sign on the south side of Highway 343, three miles west of the Lac Pelletier Regional Park turnoff. For more information, phone 306-741-9971.

This weekend was ferking cold, that didn't stop me from going into the water though. A bunch of us rode till sundown on Saturday night, after the lightening storms ended of course ;) I've got people dropping by, by boat and motocross all the time now which is pretty cool. I think I'm finally starting to get into the local groove. This was the first weekend that I didn't ride motocross this whole summer which really sucks. I am actually looking forward to fall and winter for the first time in a decade.
For the record, I am not eating chicken for a while. I've had quite enough.
And finally, I put up the pictures from Marc's summer party here.

I've been drawing and painting since I was very little. In middle- and high school, I took classes in water color painting. For a year in high school, I learned oil painting, but my instructor was so mean and eccentric that I did not enjoy the experience. I also took AP Art History because I didn't actually know anything about famous art movements and works of art. I loved the class. This last summer I took a family trip to Europe and saw many amazing works of art that I learned about in that class. Some of these included Ghiberti's "Gates of Paradise" on the Florence Baptistry, Botticelli's "The Birth of Venus, and Michelangelo's "Pietà." It was especially awe-inspiring to have been so close to the "Gates of Paradise."
A huge flaw of mine is that if I'm not taking a class, I don't have the motivation to draw or paint, even though I love doing it. I didn't do any art at all last year and really missed it, which is why I decided to take this class. It's been so fun, and I'm glad I made this decision. I also had little experience with the imaginative aspects of drawing, and this class has helped me embrace it more. It's a shame that there are not many ArtsVis classes offered at Duke and that my schedule is so full. I don't know whether I will be able to take another art class here, but I'll definitely do what I can to make it work.
Before I took Visual Arts 100, I had previously drawn as a way to improve technical skill and sketch outlines for paintings. The only time I did any shading was back in 6th grade when my art teacher asked me to draw still-lifes. I drew a wooden block, a ball, and a bottle of glue. Shading these objects took forever, since I couldn't let any stray marks show and the values needed to be even. That experience made me think that drawing was just a skill to be learned if I wanted to draw well, not a fun pastime in and of itself.
I had never used charcoal before (I didn't even know they came in pencil form) so I was really hesitant to do so. It smudged and could not be completely erased, so I was a bit scared that I would mess up a drawing if I used it. But I couldn't make my pencil drawings dark enough; I noticed how washed-out they seemed when I saw them from a distance in class. So for my last drawing I used charcoal and loved how easy it was to increase the value, cover large areas evenly, and create texture. I wish I used charcoal in more of my drawings, and I'm definitely going to draw with charcoal more often now.
Now that I have all the necessary supplies, my goal is to actually draw in my free time. This class has been a reminder of how much I love art. I shouldn't need a class or deadlines to motivate me to do it!

This is the final installment in the BTVS/VD crossover story that begins with "Compelled By Love." Please read that one and "Undone By Love" before reading this one. This story picks up where the "Undone By Love" ended.
Recap: Klaus was rescued from the hell dimension Willow sent him to by Illyria, who shared with him her desire to mate with him. Klaus is grateful and follows her out of the hell dimension. His siblings, Oz, Caroline, and Xander are on their way to Los Angeles with Angel and Spike to see if they can rescue him, unaware that it's already happened. Back in Mystic Falls, Buffy and Alaric are engaged and expecting a child. Rebekah has forgiven Willow for banishing Klaus, and she stayed in Mystical Falls. Willow still has very little of her magic, and Oz is still hexed. There will be more crossover with The Originals.
Disclaimer: I do not own the BTVS, The Originals, or Angel characters. They are the creation of Joss Whedon. Julie Plec and L.J. Smith get the credit for the Vampire Dairies' characters. This story, though, is mine.
Sorry, it took me six months to get it posted. I missed writing for this very fun crossover world, so I hope you're excited to have more stories in it. I am juggling a LOT of characters, but if you've read my VM stories, you should be used to that by now! Enjoy!
Chapter 1: Klaus Gets Revenge
******Los Angeles******
Angel and Spike walked into their home with a sigh of relief. It wasn't much, but it was theirs. Before dishing out their rooms to their sudden guests, Angel faced the motley crew.
"If Illyria is able to bring Klaus back, I think we all need to come to an agreement," he said.
"Do you think she can do it?" Caroline asked hopefully.
"If she can gain back her portal opening powers, yes," Angel said. Caroline reached for Kol's hand and gave it a squeeze. "However, you have to be prepared for the changes you may find in him. Time passes differently in other dimensions. I was in a hell once for a few months, but it was years there. I came out of it nothing more than a rabid animal. Your brother has two natures inside him. There's no telling how he will come back."
"What brought you back to yourself?" Elijah inquired. Angel didn't answer but looked at Damon, the best man of the one who now had claim to his beloved.
"Love. Love for Buffy," Spike said with a smirk.
"Klaus doesn't love anyone," Kol said in concern.
"He loves his family," Caroline said firmly. She reached out and took Oz's hand in her other. "He loves his friends."
"My concern is what he may do if he found out Willow is no longer in possession of the power she once had. He will try to kill her," Angel said. "This will cause Buffy and all her slayers to mark him as a dead man."
"She can try to kill him. See what happens!" Kol said hotly. Oz's eyes flashed yellow, a warning growl coming from him.
Angel held up his hands. "No one wants that! That's why you cannot let Klaus know that Will is vulnerable," he said.
"Our brother's instinct is always to eliminate all threats," Elijah said with a frown.
"Tell him that Willow regrets her rash actions and promised Rebekah that she'd never harm her family again," Angel said. "Tell him whatever you need to. But don't tell him that she has had her powers bound."
"Yes, Niklaus will most definitely try to kill her," Elijah said in agreement. "We will do as you ask."
"But if he comes to Mystic Falls, he will find out," Caroline said in concern.
"Then don't encourage him to come visit you," Angel said in warning.
Caroline didn't like that. "Rebekah lives there. He has a home there," Caroline said.
"He has homes other places I'm sure," Angel said.
"He does," Elijah agreed.
"Oz, you can bunk with me," Angel said. "Caroline, Illyria won't mind if you bunk with her. She's got the third floor."
"Kol and I have a suite reserved at the Wilshire Beverly," Elijah said.
"Of course, you do," Spike said, rolling his eyes.
"Caroline and Oz are welcome to stay with us," Elijah invited. He glanced at Xander, who knew he was expected to stay with him.
"I will stay with Angel," Oz said. A connection away from the Mikaelson's seemed to calm the voices. Whoever was responsible for his hex hated the Original family. Oz was afraid that he'd soon lose control. Angel would do what was necessary to contain him.
"I would like to stay here in case Illyria needs convincing," Caroline said.
"Very well. We will be back here in the morning. Call us if something comes up," Elijah said.
Before he could leave, a bright light entered the room and a portal opened up, astonishing the Mystic Falls crew. Illyria stepped through.
"Blue! Where'd you disappear to?" Spike asked with a grin.
"I traveled to many hells until I found the one holding the hybrid," she said without preamble.
"You found our brother?" Elijah asked hopefully.
When Klaus stepped through the still open portal, the question was answered.
"Anyone else feel this was a bit anti-climactic?" Damon said dryly.
"Klaus!" Caroline exclaimed, throwing her arms around him in a tight hug. Kol and Elijah both clasped one of his arms, relieved he was whole and back with him.
"Brother, are you okay?" Elijah asked in concern. Niklaus looked more exhausted and unkempt than they had ever seen him.
"As well as could be expected," Klaus said in exhaustion. "It is good to see you, brothers. Where is our fair sister?"
Kol frowned. "She is with the witch. We had a nasty battle killing our father yesterday," he shared.
"Mikael is dead?" Klaus asked in surprise. The news was most welcome and unexpected.
"He is, brother. Rebekah, Kol, and I killed him with his own white oak dagger," Elijah said in satisfaction.
Klaus felt extreme pleasure at that news. However, a wave of exhaustion hit, and he swayed on his feet.
Elijah grabbed him. "I got you, Niklaus. When did you last have blood?" he asked.
"Weeks," Klaus said warily.
"You weren't gone weeks, Nik," Kol said, frowning.
"Time is different in a hell dimension," Angel reminded them.
"I was there several," Klaus said, his eyes flashing. "How much time passed here?"
"Not quite a week," Elijah replied.
Caroline went to her suitcase and pulled out a few blood bags. "Here. Drink this," she said, handing them to him.
Klaus gave her a half smile in thanks before taking a long, much needed drink. His energy restored the more he drank. By the third blood bag, he was feeling much better. "That will do for now," he said, handing her the empty bags.
"Come, brother. Let's go to the hotel where you can refresh," Elijah said. He looked at Illyria and gave a slight bow. "Thank you for returning our brother to us. We are in your debt."
She shrugged. "My shell would allow nothing else," she replied. "And I…well, your brother is a fitting mate."
"You're going to mate with her?" Caroline asked in disbelief, while Kol snickered.
Klaus ignored Caroline's question and stepped toward Illyria. He reached for her hand, bringing it to his lips. "I won't forget, my queen," he said, giving her a wink. Then he turned to leave, his eyes connecting with Oz. He walked toward his friend, putting his hand on his shoulder. "Give me a few days, my friend. Then we will go to New Orleans, the witches there will be able to help break your hex."
Kol smiled widely. "The French Quarter? Seriously? We're going to go home?" he asked eagerly.
"Eventually," Klaus said. He looked at Oz. "Are you coming?"
"I will be along shortly," Oz said. Klaus nodded, expecting nothing less.
They all left together. Oz, Angel and Spike looked at Illyria. "You didn't think to call us?" Spike asked crossly.
"Why?" she asked.
"To tell us you can now open bloody portals!" Spike exclaimed. "To tell us you figured out where the hybrid was!"
"I imagine he's pretty pissed," Angel said with a sigh as he sat in his chair.
"He's spent his time there fighting to survive," Illyria stated. "He was most happy to see me."
"I bet!" Spike said knowingly.
"I better call Buffy and warn her," Angel said, pulling out her phone.
"I will permit no one to hurt the hybrid," Illyria announced.
"No one will hurt him unless he tries to hurt Buffy or her friends," Angel said. "If he does, you may have to make a choice."
"We do not want a war with that family," Spike said.
"No, we don't," Angel stated. "Let's hope his family and friends can keep him from going on a bloody revenge spree."
"I will go to the hotel and see exactly where his head is at," Oz said. "I'll get back to you." He felt loyalty and affection for Klaus. However, he wouldn't permit anyone to hurt Willow, especially not now that she was so vulnerable.
Angel nodded, trusting Oz to always do the right thing.
******Mystic Falls******
Buffy and Rick were at the florist picking out flowers for their wedding. Buffy couldn't believe this was her life. Sure, they'd had some problems since coming to this sleepy historic town. However, it wasn't a hellmouth. Vampires—the soulless kind—were few and far between. She'd found a man who fit so perfectly in her life. He wanted to marry her. Best of all, they were going to have a baby—something she truly never thought was in the cards for her. She'd wanted to get started on the wedding planning right away. Unlike many men, Rick wanted to be a part of every decision. Buffy had never been this happy.
They were good-naturedly arguing over flower choices when her phone rang. She saw it was Angel and knew it would be important. She answered. "Hey, Angel. What's up?" she asked. She listened. "Okay, keep me posted…Yes, I'll call you if anything happens. See you next month. Thanks."
"What's wrong?" Rick asked.
"Illyria managed to save Klaus from the hell Willow sent him to," she shared.
"Is that good?" Rick asked.
"Well, it's good that his siblings aren't worried or upset," Buffy said. "If he doesn't come back to town for vengeance against Will, then it's good, I guess. I didn't like that Willow just did that no matter what anyone thought."
"Yea, anyone who can do that is kind of scary," he said.
"Well, she won't be doing that again anytime soon," Buffy remarked. She couldn't help but worry about Klaus's next move. She had no doubt he'd find some way to make Willow pay. Willow didn't have any real magic to defend herself. They would have to remain vigilant.
******Back in Los Angeles******
An hour later, Klaus was feeling decidedly more human. He'd fed on a few of the hotel staff. Oz's judgy eyes kept him from ripping their heads off. Even hexed, his friend was better than any human. After showering, he found Elijah in his room. Oz went to see Lorne. He hoped the clairvoyant could give him some direction.
"I'm fine, brother," Klaus said to the hovering Elijah.
"Was it a true hell?" Elijah asked, curious.
Klaus gave him a grim look and nodded. "It was more horrible than anything I could've ever conceived. The witch has a lot to answer for," he said coldly.
"You know attacking her would put all of us in jeopardy. She has formidable allies. I don't want to make enemies of the slayers," Elijah said. "They do much good in the world."
"So you would stand with me if I chose to cross them?" Klaus asked, unsure of his big brother's loyalty.
"We are family, Niklaus. Always and forever," Elijah said simply. "However, I would urge you to think carefully if you decide to go there. Many good people will be hurt. And our sister will be destroyed."
"Yes, our sister. In love with a witch who has the power to send her enemies to hell," Klaus muttered. It galled him to no end. "I will not attack the witch directly. But she will not go unpunished."
Elijah was relieved. "Do you need my help?" Elijah asked.
"Will you take Oz down to New Orleans? Prepare our home for our return," Klaus said.
Elijah smiled. "I don't believe Xander has ever been. He will enjoy the sights. Being surrounded by so many people will be a good way to teach him control," Elijah said.
Klaus grinned. "I was surprised that he was here with you," Klaus remarked. "I didn't think anyone could pry him from his women."
"He will return to them when he is sure he is no danger to them," Elijah stated. "His second sight, though, remains."
"Excuse me?" Klaus asked, not understanding.
"On the flight over here, Xander had a dream. His dead ex-lover told him that he was still a conduit for the Powers That Be. His vampirism didn't change that. The dead can still communicate with him. The Powers can warn him of things to come if they choose to," Elijah explained.
"Really? He's not a witch, but he can foretell the future? That's never happened," Klaus remarked in bemusement. He had known the man was special. However, he never foresaw such a talent.
"Anya warned him that the witch on the other side that seeks our destruction is angry that Willow interfered. She wants to destroy us herself," Elijah said.
"An ancient, powerful witch that hates us," Klaus said thoughtfully. He'd pissed off many a witch in his day. "We know that Celeste is over there causing problems. However, she's not really ancient."
"No, she's not," Elijah said.
"It can only be one person," Klaus said.
Elijah nodded. "Yes," he agreed. "Our mother seeks to end our existence."
"Having access to the witches in the French Quarter would probably only aid her vendetta," Klaus remarked. "Yet I need them to help Oz."
"We must be on guard," Elijah said.
"And get his hex broken and then leave," Klaus said.
"I will speak with Kol. We will leave in the morning," Elijah said. He got up to leave. "It's good to have you back, brother."
Klaus smiled. "It's good to be back. You'll never know how good," Klaus said before turning away.
When Elijah opened the door, Caroline had her hand raised to knock. She gave him a rueful smile. "Is Klaus up for a visit?" she asked.
"Come in," Klaus called out. Elijah said goodnight as she stepped in.
Caroline was nervous, but her concern for Klaus propelled her forward. When he smiled at her, she couldn't help herself. She ran and threw herself in his arms, hugging him tight. "I was so scared," she whispered. She pulled back and looked at him, keeping her arms around him. "I kept imagining the most awful things. I can't believe Willow sent you to hell! I mean, who does that?"
For the first time in a very long time, warmth filled Klaus. This young vampire with her generous nature and big heart gave him her loyalty. It humbled him. "I'm okay, sweetheart," he assured her. "It was pretty bad, but it didn't defeat me!"
He stepped away from her and poured them both a drink. She accepted hers with a smile and sat on the edge of his bed. He sat down in the chair next to it.
"I kind of like seeing you in my bed," he said with a wink.
Caroline didn't smile like he expected. Instead, she grew somber. "So are you going to mate with Illyria?" she asked, not ready to admit why the idea bothered her so much.
Klaus grinned, finding her jealousy endearing. "She is an extraordinary creature. I've never known anyone like her," he said. "I didn't strike a bargain with her, though. Somehow the person whose body she possessed had strong morals. Much to her distaste, her body's humanity influences her more than she likes. She wasn't going to leave me there no matter what."
"So you're not going to procreate with her?" Caroline inquired, seeking a clarification.
Klaus put his drink down on the nightstand and contemplated her. Instead of answering, he got up and sat on the bed next to her. "Why do you care?" he asked.
Caroline looked down at her drink and shrugged. "I don't know," she mumbled.
Klaus brushed her hair off her shoulder, causing her to turn and looked at him again. He smiled warmly at her, flashing his dimples. "If I had sex with lllyria, it wouldn't mean anything. It'd just be sex," he said. "She's not the woman whose image I thought on when I was in that hell."
Caroline felt her mouth go dry at his words. She swallowed, trying to form a reply. Then she lifted up her drink and drained it. "You thought of me?" she asked, giving him an uncharacteristic shy smile as she tried to ignore the hand on her shoulder.
"Every hour of every day," he said as he moved his hand around her neck to tug her forward, fusing his mouth to hers.
Caroline allowed herself to get lost in his kiss. It was everything she imagined. It was passionate yet sweet. She could tell her was holding himself back. However, she didn't care. She just allowed herself to get lost in his embrace.
Klaus kept himself under tight control as he kissed the beautiful and still somewhat innocent Caroline Forbes. He pulled back and gazed down at her closed eyes. Then he put one last kiss on her lips.
"Sweetheart, one day you and I will take time to explore this attraction between us. When you no longer care so much about your friends' opinions and judgments, you and I will travel the world and have the time of our life," he said, giving her a tender smile—one few people have ever seen.
Caroline was floored. The kiss was so unexpected. She felt a flash of guilt. He'd killed her best friend. Did it matter than Elena managed to escape that fate? Why did he have to be so sexy and have adorable dimples? It was unfair!
She managed to stand up and give him a shaky smile. "You may be more than I can handle," she admitted.
Klaus reached out for her hand and stood. "Actually, I don't think there's anything you can't handle," he remarked.
Caroline decided to do something very daring. "Will you be my date to a wedding? It's not until Thanksgiving next month," she said, refusing to care about everyone's reaction to her bold impulse.
Klaus grinned. "Your date? I'd be delighted!" he exclaimed. "Who's getting married?"
Caroline winced. "Well, I hope it's not a problem. It's Buffy's wedding to Rick," she shared.
Klaus was surprised. "The slayer is marrying the vampire hunter who wears flannel?" he asked with a smirk. "I guess I shouldn't be surprised. From what I hear, he's the first man she's been with who isn't a vampire or threatened by her many assets. The hunter is an honorable man."
"She's pregnant," Caroline shared. Then she winced. Should she reveal a weakness to Klaus?
"Really?" Klaus said. "A slayer can have a baby? It never occurred to me."
"That's because they don't usually live long enough," Caroline said. "Only one in a hundred years, Robin Wood, was born to a slayer."
"I can't imagine that I'd be a welcome guest," Klaus pointed out.
"Well, I don't care," Caroline said rebelliously. "I can bring a date. Plus, I want you to hear me sing."
Klaus' eyes lit up. "You're going to sing?" he asked.
"Yep," she said proudly. "I'll let Buffy know, so it won't ruin her big day or anything. You'll have to promise to behave. Do you think you can do that?"
"I suppose," he said with a smile. He couldn't and wouldn't tell her of his plans. There was no way he was going to allow the witch to go unpunished for what she did to him. He'd find a way to hurt her. Some place she'd least expect.
******Chapter End******
I know this first chapter is heavily centered around the Originals. They are really entwined in the story since they are somehow involved with so many main players. I will have to get into some of the characters for the Originals, but I will try to make it easy to follow for those that may not watch that show (you're missing out). Since both VD and The Originals have been phenomenal this season, it'll be a challenge to write them so differently. Haley will NOT be in my story. I hope you don't mind! Thanks for reading.

I've really been loving those holo flakies, I've been using them a lot. This is probably my current favorite application… and it reminds me of pixie dust!
And that's it! Such an easy way to jazz up a mani.
I've really been loving those holo flakies, I've been using them a lot. This is probably my current favorite application… and it reminds me of pixie dust!
And that's it! Such an easy way to jazz up a mani.
If you follow nail art on Instagram, you've probably seen holo flakies everywhere. I've been obsessed with them since I first saw them, and I finally got my hands on a jar!
Well, I'm back on a blue nail polish kick, but I've really been missing nail art so I decided to dive back into nail art with this look.
So, my birthday kind of extended into a birthweek… that obviously required a nail change!
It's my birthday! So, I decided to stop being lazy and actually do a NOTD!
Let me preface by saying that I haven't done anything with my nails in forever. I've been in a bit of a rut, plus I've been loving Zoya Blu lately. I decided to finally try one of the new Zoyas that I got… this is Abby.
So, here I have two coats of Abby, once that was dry, I used my silver leaf and created this gradient. I topped everything off with Essie Good To Go.
In terms of Abby, itself, this was the first time I used it, and I'm liking it more than I thought I would. That sounds silly, because… I bought it… why wouldn't I like it?! But, I've been leaning towards blues and just didn't think this warmer purple would suit me, but I was very pleasantly surprised. It is a thinner formula, but covers nicely and dries super fast. It's also very shiny without a top coat. So pretty, I love it.
So, I bought this set of Born Pretty Store powders back in December/January. I had tried them over white and lighter colors, but I finally got to try one over black!
I decided to try he blue first. As my base I have Zoya Willa, which is just black. Then I used my Aora base and tops coats along with the powder. It is like the other chrome powders, so you do need to use it with gel.
When you first apply it over the gel base it isn't very shiny, but it comes alive when you add the top coat.
I was actually very impressed with the quality of the powder itself, it is very finely milled so you get nice, even coverage. You don't see any large particles or anything like that.
The color is beautiful, it's similar to a Zoya Neve, which I love.
Overall, I'm very impressed! I love this color and I'm excited to use the others!
Two NOTDs in the same week?! What is happening?!
My base is one coat of Zoya Purity, then I sponged on more Purity, Zoya Megan and China Glaze Too Yacht To Handle. The sponging created a soft, almost gradient effect for my background. After that was set, I topped it with Seche Vite and let it dry. Once dry, I applied thin coats of Sally Hansen Big Shiny Top Coat to random parts of my nail (one nail at a time) and then added the silver leaf. I just used my finger to apply it and rub it in to create that distressed-ish effect.
I was very in the mood for it to be spring already, and this was very fitting for that. I love the color combo of that minty blue/green and metallic silver. What do you think?
Another NOTD?! What is happening?! Getting back in the groove…
My base is two coats of Zoya Mallory, it's a creamy royal blue. I hadn't used this polish yet, but it caught my eye when I was looking through my stash for some inspiration. I was debating about what to do, then I decided to keep it simple and to add some some gold striping tape. I love doing combinations of single and double lines, it reminds me of the midi rings that I love so much! I topped it off with Seche Vite.
I really like this royal blue and gold combo,simple but interesting enough so I don't want to redo my nails the next day lol what do you think?
Ah yissss, love me some rose gold!
My base is two coats of Zoya Purity, and then I freehanded some half moons with ILNP Juliette. Topped everything off with Essie Good To Go. Juliette is such a gorgeous holo rose gold glitter, I try to use it every change I get.
Very simple, but I love it! What do you think?
Man, it's been a while! I've been slacking, I've also been really uninspired, but I was feeling fall-ish so I had to do something!
So, my base is two coats of Zoya Lake. Over top, I have two coats of Essie Leggy Legend. Super simple, but it gets that fall feeling across. Leggy Legend is the perfect fall bronze!
What are your favorite colors to wear in the fall?

Utah County UT – The Stop Foreclosure Institute recently received a question from John. Here was his question.
"I am current on my mortgage with X Bank (one of the top 4 US banks.) However, I would like to short sale and move for my new job.
I am current on my mortgage. Will my lender consider a Short Sale, even though I am not behind on the payments? Thanks for your help. John."
Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure.
Here was our answer to his question. When we work on several files with a lender, it seems that those that are late get approved faster than those that are current.
However, you still have a chance of getting your file approved even when you are current on your mortgage. The banks might approve your short sale file, depending on your specific situation and the hardship.
But they certainly seem to be taking their time on approvals where mortgage payments are current. The good news is we have clients who are current on their mortgage payments and have already had short sale approvals.
However, we also have clients where the banks have dragged the process on for 8 months or more. after that long wait, they still were not approving the short sales.
I can help put your Short Sale file together within a couple days and submit it for approval. (Remember, there is no charge for this.)
The best way to determine if your lender will approve your short sale is to simply start the process. Every lender and loan program is different, so we will never know for sure until we start. Thinking about a short sale?
I can help you short sale your property and get back on your feet. Send me an e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. I will contact you for a free consultation.
When we talk, I will explain how the process works in detail and answer any questions you may have. Or, if you prefer, you can call me at 801-756-1857

Brett Bezzant, R and R Realty, and the Stop Foreclosure Institute are not affiliated in any way, shape, or form with the government. Our services have not been reviewed or endorse by the government or your lender. Most lenders willingly work with agents on short sales. Why?
Because most short sales are beneficial to a lender. If you accept our offer to help you on a short sale, your lender may not agree to a short sale or to modify your loan. We do offer a loan modification kit.
However, the likelihood of negotiating a modification is like everything else in life. It takes work and persistence to convince your lender to modify your loan. No matter what you or we do, your lender may not approve a loan modification.
We do not recommend that you stop paying your mortgage, because this will cause damage to your credit and could cause you to lose your home. Because we know avoiding foreclosure is so important to any homeowner, we recommend that you speak with the appropriate legal or tax advisor before making any decision.
This is not intended as legal, technical, or tax advice. Please speak with a licensed professional before making any decision. Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed as of the date of writing.
You have the option to reject a short sale or loan modification from your lender if it does not meet your approval. If you decide not to go thru with the short sale, then you do not have to pay us our fee. We normally make a real estate sales commission for helping you on a short sale.

Sorry for the bad quality of the picture. It was taken with my cell phone. Big news around here though. FIRST CHILD TO LOSE A TOOTH!!!! Natalie was the first one to grom up on me. How depressing. We had seen the 2 teeth coming in behind her 2 bottom front ones but for some reason they weren't pushing out the baby teeth. Then one day we checked and one was a little lose. Then she was eating chicken one night and it hurt her tooth to eat it so she decided to starve herself that night. Poor girl. Next night we were having spaghettie and she took a bite and blood went everywhere but the tooth was still holding on. Next morning she was crying while rying to eat her cereal saying she couldn't eat because it hurt too much again, so I did what every adult would do and called my Mommy. Mom explained about how to pull them and tod me to make sure I get it the first time because she would NOT let me try a second time. So I called Tim and told him he needed to handle this because I am the one who is always having dreams about loosing teeth and doing this would freak me out. Good husband that he is he came straight home and they went downstairs and did it where Regan couldn't see(or hear), since she has some loose teeth too, 5 minutes later they had a tooth in a napkin that has already been accepted and traded by the tooth fairy for a dollar(and put in her baby book). Now she likes to walk around telling strangers about her tooth that fell out. :) So sweet. Poor Regan is next and has no idea whats to come.

i found a large supermarket 100m from our flat. the outside was not very compelling and i was afraid it would be a small store but i was pleasantly surprised. they also had a meat counter. and a ton of different kind of cheeses...but i know nothing about them so im not very keen on trying any. there werent many frozen veggies unfortunately so i had to go to the fresh vegetables section. it was luckily quite big so there where items even i could recognize and buy. im cooking in the new home since last night :) also, washing plenty of laundry.
i took the curtain fabric to a curtain maker and i think hes pissed i didnt buy the fabric from his shop cos i feel he is overcharging for the work. but i didnt want to go find another place so i let him do them. i obviously didnt buy fabric from his cos its a very traditional shop, with dark earthy tones which turks like. or fancy white laces. i dig the ikea fabrics, 'scuse me. (i got BRITTEN NUMMER).
burger king is also 100m from us. not that i go there often but it good to have... and there was a large puzzle shop! i want to take up the puzzle hobby again! also a bookstore, or a few are nearby (my nearby is within 200m).

Dynamic Assessment of Narrative and Expository Discourse.Topics in Language Disorders
Document TypeArticle
Publication Date1-1-1999
AbstractThe ability to understand and create stories and explanations plays an important role in the acquisition of literacy. This article describes how clinicians can use an assessment process known as Dynamic Assessment to evaluate children's narrative and expository discourse abilities. These assessment procedures help speech-language pathologists better describe the language learning potential of children who are referred for language assessment, and they yield information that is useful for determining whether children present a language difference or a language disorder. We also demonstrate how Dynamic Assessment provides critical information for planning language intervention.

As the last post mentioned, Graeme, my husband, will shortly be making an effort to fundraise for the fantastic organization, HI HOPES early intervention Programme. We've had incredible journey over the past 11 months now. One that started with despair and now is very much one of HOPE. A pivotal moment was gaining the support of HI HOPES. The input that they sow frequently, is already reaping incredible results, as the language assessments that we do to assess the girls' language development, are showing significant leaps in their development of language. Experiencing the benefit of such a programme first hand, has given me a deeper appreciation of the need for all deaf babies to access early intervention. One way that we hope to "give back" a little and consequently support other families like ours, is through the website "Do it 4 charity". In July this year, Graeme will be climbing Mt Kilimanjaro for HI HOPES. Please consider supporting deaf babies through exploring this link and making a donation. Every little bit counts!
An earlier post, "Giving honour where honour is due," also expresses our appreciation for this incredible team, find it here: https://biancabirdsey.wordpress.com/2013/12/19/giving-honour-where-honour-is-due/

Hello all,
I was looking for information how version control should be applied properly when Deployment Framework is used.
I noticed that with Deployment Framework there comes a script that creates project folders for each qvw-file. But should the whole Deployment Framework be put to the version control or just project folder -files? Any experiences or best practices you could share?
Petteri Paananen
You should join the deployment framework group, probably more info on the subject there: Qlik Deployment Framework
Then, should you decide to look inte the possibilities of a distributed version control system, I wrote some posts on that subject a while ago: Qlikview and version control, part 1 - Sigma Blogg

A Long Line of Dead Men (Matthew Scudder)
Lawrence Block
Recently added
9:00 pm 8 May 2010
I've been listening to a lot of podcasts lately; one in particular that has recently been added to my weekly list is "Books on the Nightstand". The title is pretty self explanatory as it involves two people talking about what books they like while making a few recommendations to their listeners. One of the first episodes I listened to gave me a recommendation to Dean Koontz' Velocity. At this point, I've only heard the author's name thrown around - I've heard nothing neither good nor bad about his style or any of his work so I thought I'd give it a shot.
Plot Summary
Billy Wiles is an easygoing, hardworking guy who leads a quiet, ordinary life. But that is about to change. One evening, after his usual eight-hour bartending shift, he finds a typewritten note under the windshield wiper of his car. If you don't take this note to the police and get them involved, I will kill a lovely blond schoolteacher. If you do take this note to the police, I will instead kill an elderly woman active in charity work. You have four hours to decide. The choice is yours.
It seems like a sick joke, and Billy's friend on the police force, Lanny Olson, thinks so too. His advice to Bill is to go home and forget about it. Besides, what could they do even if they took the note seriously? No crime has actually been committed. But less than twenty-four hours later, a young blond schoolteacher is found murdered, and it's Billy's fault: he didn't convince the police to get involved. Now he's got another note, another deadline, another ultimatum - and two new lives hanging in the balance.
Suddenly Billy's average, seemingly innocuous life takes on the dimensions and speed of an accelerating nightmare. Because the notes are coming faster, the deadlines growing tighter, and the killer becoming bolder and crueler with every communication-until Billy is isolated with the terrifying knowledge that he alone has the power of life and death over a psychopath's innocent victims. Until the struggle between good and evil is intensely personal. Until the most chilling words of all are: The choice is yours.
The concept of this book intrigued me. Ash picked this up for me while she was on vacation in Newfoundland and when she brought it to the cashier, the cashier gave it a ringing endorsement - she loved it. I was all excited to get started; I'd only heard good things at this point. As I read on through the book - I was pleased. I even found myself recommending it to others before I finished it. However, as I got closer and closer to the end - I became less and less enthusiastic about finishing it. Around the last 70 pages; I just lost interest.
I'm not going to go out of my way to say that it was predictable - but I didn't understand why Billy held such strong conviction in who he thought the killer was. I didn't quite get that - and when the whole plot came together and you DO find out who the killer is, it's not very satisfying. I felt that Koontz' Billy was not a fully realized character; I had a hard time feeling sorry for him. It's not that I thought he deserved any of the mess that he was given - I just found myself not caring.
There was enough substance to the book that I'm willing to give him another shot - I've been given a recommendation for another book of his (False Memory) and was told that this book was a poor place to start - so I might be picking that up this weekend. Obviously the man is successful, so he knows what he's doing - I just need to find something of his to enjoy.

In August 2016 I posted on the creation of the Groundwater Solutions Initiative for Policy and Practice (GRIPP), a global partnership for sustainable groundwater management launched by IWMI. GRIPP is not just a website that professes to do do great things. ; it has just published the first two Case Profiles reports.
1) Aquifer Contracts: A Means to Solving Groundwater Over-exploitastion in Morocco? by Alvar Closas and Karen G. Villholth
Download GRIPP_GW_Contract_Morocco
Abstract (also in French, Spanish and Arabic in the publication)
The Moroccan government has used aquifer contracts as a management tool to
control groundwater depletion. The first aquifer contract was signed in 2006 for the Souss region as a technical and financial non-binding contract between stakeholders and the government. The contract contemplated specific measures to be implemented across the Souss Massa-Draa Basin, including water fees and restriction of cultivated areas. This GRIPP Case Profille reviews the evolution of aquifer contracts in Morocco and the case of the Souss, examining the various social, political and institutional challenges surrounding its endorsement and implementation. Despite its innovative approach as a multi-user platform aiming to consolidate specific groundwater management activities on the ground, the voluntary nature of the aquifer contract limited the number of
participating stakeholders. Also, the lack of institutional capacity and clarity of roles under the decentralization process prohibited its oversight and enforcement. The Case Profile illustrates the complexity of groundwater management within a context of increased resource dependence, and the necessity to enhance and sustain inclusive participatory arrangements. In order to improve the effectiveness of aquifer contracts, Morocco needs to solidify its decentralization of groundwater management, and clear up environmental, agricultural and irrigation policy inconsistencies. Better data to understand and manage groundwater resources in an integrated manner are also needed, as well as proper oversight and binding measures that encourage transparency and adherence to the water law.
Here is the second publication:
2) Controlling Groundwater through Smart Card Machines: The Case of Water Quotas and Pricing Mechanisms in Gansu Province, China by Eefje Aarnoudse and Bettina Bluemling
Download GRIPP_GW_Smart_Card_Machines
Abstract (in French, Spanish, and Chinese in the document).
Since the 1970s, intensive groundwater abstraction by smallholder farmers has led to falling groundwater levels and related problems in many parts of North China. The 2002 revised Water Law urges local authorities to regulate groundwater use in regions of overdraft. This GRIPP Case Profile documents two cases of local groundwater abstraction regulation in Gansu Province, Northwest China, based on primary data collection. In both cases, smart card machines were installed on farmers' wells to control groundwater abstraction. However, in the case of Minqin County, the local authorities opted for quotas, while in the case of Guazhou County, they opted for tiered water pricing as a regulation instrument. The quotas in Minqin have been implemented in a way that directly affected farmers' groundwater use practices. Consequently, farmers are no longer free to decide when and how much groundwater to use. The tiered water pricing in Guazhou has had little implications for farmers' individual groundwater use practices. The pricing threshold is flattened out at farm group level and the price is not raised to a level which instills behavioral change. Hence, it can be concluded that the potential of smart card machines to control groundwater abstraction is highly dependent on the design and implementation of the regulatory mechanism behind the machines. Although the present study cannot draw hard conclusions on the effectiveness of quotas and pricing mechanisms per se, it does provide an indication that, in the given societal context, the
practicability of quotas to reduce farmers' groundwater abstraction is higher than that of ered pricing. Notably, the case of Minqin exemplifies that quotas lend themselves well to ensure equitable water access to all farmers and maintain the buffer function of conjunctive surface water and groundwater use. These are important principles to design effective groundwater regulation policies, both in and outside China.
Each of these looks to be a very practical, useful publication.

Review: The Politically Incorrect Guide to Science
Firstly, these books offer a plethora of information on some of the most disputatious topics of today. Coming from the pen of a knowledgeable writer, Bethell writes with clarity and intelligence. There are footnotes aplenty as he deftly describes these subjects, debunking one commonly held "fact" of science after another. While I myself am no scientist, I do known that there is certainly room for discussion concerning these issues. No matter what you think of the opinion presented by Bethell, I would encourage all readers to keep an open mind as they read this book, which portrays a great deal of very convincing arguments. The only drawback is that some of the writing, while understandable, can get slightly dry at times, dragging on a bit as must be required for such an ambitious thesis.
In the end, this book is a must have for all science enthusiasts, combining informed writing with a style that can easily be understood by the layman. I wholeheartedly recommend it for anyone who might have an interest in the topics covered by the book.
