Accel Stream Season 2: Prologue
The Paths People Take, Evo-Lites on the Move!
XLR-08/Shinjuku Outskirts
(Insert Song-Testament-Trail of Tears)
No matter how many times I look at this...it's all my damn fault. Ken thought as he clenched his fists tightly, three days had passed since he and the ninja twins had returned from a mission to New York, and Ken couldn't help but return to the city as there were some issues he needed to deal with, sticking to the alleys he had found himself once again surveying the carnage of his own rage, until another voice spoke up from inside his digivice.
"Ken we need to go meet with Karin and check on Helena..." Veemon said solemnly, Ken nodded and vanished from his posistion in the alleyway, he continued to sneak his way through the shadows surrounding the area as the sun continued setting in the sky, eventually he made his way to the house where Karin was said to live, it had not been easy to locate, but with the help of his digimon serching they had found it, as he approached he felt a chill in the air as Karin suddenly appeared before him.
"Seems your getting better at energy detection..." Ken noted as Karin sighed.
"That's right, though for the time being it's best you don't come near here, between what's happened to Uranus and Neptune and now this, the other senshi besides Pluto don't exactly trust you." Ken shrugged when she said this.
"Wouldn't be the first time, what's the status on Helena." Ken asked, hoping to change the subject.
"Well...according to Setsuna, she's lost her Starseed which is the esscence of her life force, however without it..." Ken palmed his head.
"I know it's my freaking fault...if I hadn't have tried to get close to her, she wouldn't have been caught in the crossfire..." Karin shook her head.
"That's not true, Setsuna said that if we can find her Starseed and return it, she'll revive, until then she's been placed in a special stasis feild to keep her body in stable condition, but it won't last for more than half a year, and we have no idea where her starseed could be..." Ken shook his head.
"Leave it to me then, i'll find it no matter what it takes." he said with a reassuring smile before thinking. She broke me out of my anti-social shell, i've got to get her starseed back no matter what. he muttered in thought as Karin nodded again with a small smile as well.
"I wish you luck then." she said, Ken nodded before heading off to his companions.
There's no choice, i'll have to go alone to find her Starseed...well me and my army anyway...Ken thought.

"So what happened to Kreig, wasn't he supposed to jump the kid while he was in a slump?" Sin X asked Greil who sighed as Krieg staggered in through a portal along with Blitzmon, both looked like they had been in a bar fight...a rather large and ugly barfight.
"Wow someone's been hammered, drinking again?" Terumi noted as Greil sighed.
"Shut the fuck up Hazama you damn troll, Krieg what happened to you?" Krieg simply staggered forward and handed Greil a note. "What's this supposed to be?" he muttered before reading it. "Dear new evil team that has a pokemon item name...Son of a..." Terumi started laughing.
"Told you we should've come up with a better name." he said as Greil reluctantly continued.
"We're sticking to course thanks...let's see...we wanted to send you a friendly little warning that if you get out of line and try to conquere other worlds besides the three you currently have watch over, you will have to deal with our group, Dramon X will be the least of your worries as we will do terrible things that we can not even mention due to rating systems...what the fuck is that supposed to mean...anyway, sincerely the Young Guns...ps...if you want an idea of who we are...we killed the Gaurdians..." Greils eyes widened abit upon reading this as he quickly crumpled the paper and chunked it away. "You gotta be kidding me...no wonder I haven't heard anything regarding those freaks." he said as Krieg was helped up by Caster and Persiamon.
"Who are the Gaurdians?" Caster asked.
"They were a group of sixteen people who wanted to establish tolterian controll across all worlds, each one ironically corresponded to a pokemon element like our name..." he took a moment to breathe in deeply as he was pissed at the letter. "With the exception of electricity being replaced by the element of light, they were split into two groups of eight, but to think they were taken down...it can not be true." Krieg spit out blood from his mouth.
"Obviously it is, I've never been before anyone so strong in my life, they make that kid your targeting look like a kitten while thier raging lions..." Greil sighed.
"Well i've no intention of "conquering" other worlds, I just want to prove something to those hethens who dare run around with the name ascendant..." he then looked at Krieg. "By the way, you'll be happy to know something, the court of the moon kingdom in the future time of the demension Sailor Jupiter hails from is at it's weakest right now, perhaps you should take some of our newest minions and go get your vengence since I understand she is to be visiting the place to check on her daughters status." Kreig smiled evily before falling over. "First though you should heal up, and be sure to bring along one of our three new toys with you." Greil said motioning over to three robot like figures in the darkness behind him, Krieg smiled and nodded, but then became confused.
"Wait a second, what will you be doing?" he asked as Greil motioned for Caster to come with him.
"Let's just say we're going to be "recruiting" some more help, the twins are out on a mission..." he then looked back at Terumi. "You do whatever the fuck you want since it's not like you'd listen to me anyway, just don't get in my way."
"Damn straight!" Terumi said before vanishing.
"Sometimes I really wish I didn't recruit his ass, I don't know what I was thinking when I did..." Greil muttered as he and Caster went off one way, and Krieg the other...
"You can not be serious Ken...the whole point of us being a team is..."Ken sighed.
"Look I don't want to hear it Mikato..." Ken said holding up his hand. "If I don't go do this, then she'll die, someone's gotta stay and make sure the fort stays up while i'm gone, so i'm leaving you two with the job." he said, however Shizuka sighed in agreement with her sister.
"Ken you have to remember our partner is just one digimon in the end..." Ken sighed.
"Look the others in the digital world know better now how to protect themselves after what transpired with GranDracmon, besides you can always get Maki back if need be...he's never going to listen to me anymore so there's no point in me even trying to get in touch with him." the ninja's didn't feel convinced.
"Still..." Ken sighed at thier pleading.
"Look i've gotta find Helena's starseed within the time of half a year, meaning i've got until the end of june to find it." he said, Shizuka wondered something.
"Wait so we missed New Years?" Ken nodded.
"Yeah we did, New Years came and gone while we were on that boat coming back, look I have full faith that the two of you can do this task ok?" Shizuka sighed.
"Alright, but there remains one problem, how do we get into the digital world, when your the only one with such capabilities?" Ken held up his digivice B.A.X. and motioned for them to do the same, they did so and the three devices glowed in sync for a moment before fading, when the fading ended new buttons appeared on the two D3's. "Wow so with these we can..." tapping one button on her D3 Shizuka opened a portal, which Mikato closed with her D3.
"I guess that problem is solved, but where do you intend to start looking Ken? The universe is huge and there are several demensions and realities out there as well..." Ken sighed.
"I know it isn't gonna be easy, but I am responsible for what happened and I've gotta fix this...if she dies on account of me I don't think I can take it considering the body count already..." Mikato wanted to slap Ken for bringing the incident up once more, but she controlled herself.
"That wasn't your fault you know." she said sternly.
"Sure as hell feels like it, GranDracmon's probably laughing it up wherever his spirit ended up...so help me if I ever reincounter his soul he's gonna pay." Ken said cracking his knuckles.
"Would you at least get your digimon's imput before you go through with this, what if some of them don't want to go?" Shizuka asked, however at this moment all of the digimon from inside Ken's digivice came out and circled around the group.
"I don't think that's gonna be an issue, where Ken goes I go." Veemon said proudly.
"Same goes for us." Shoutmon said riding on Sparrowmon who also nodded.
"Me too." Titaniamon said with renewed vigor.
"Sounds like fun to me, going to new worlds, collecting new bounties." CyberBeelzemon pointed out getting odd looks from the others. "What?"
"I wonder what new fun awaits us baby!?" SuperStarmon blurted out, Ken and Titaniamon both still felt anxious and nervous around him despite the "reassurance" he had a new persona even if it was annoying.
"We go where he goes." said both of the Sistermon holding thier weapons casually, yet in a mannor that had everyone creeped out.
"Uh yeah i'm going no matter what." JetSliphymon claimed.
"No arguments from me either." said MirageGaogamon BM, KageShurimon also simply nodded which caused the ninja twins to sigh.
"Nerves of freaking steel from you all I swear..." said Mikato, before anything further could happen, Ken's cellphone went off suprising him.
"Suprised this thing wasn't de-activated yet." he muttered upon answering it. "Hello?"
~I know a good starting place to hunt for what you seek~ came a creepy voice over the phone that sounded masked.
"Uh...ok who the hell is this!?" he demanded as some of his digimon drew closer.
~You want to find your girlfriends thing or not...i've sent the coordinates to your phone if you want to go.~
"Not unless I know who i'm dealing with." Ken muttered.
~You can call me...THE TROLL!~ with that the phone cut off, leaving Ken and those who had managed to hear the conversation with sweatdrops on thier heads.
"The Troll...seriously?" Ken muttered as he saw a familiar set of coordinates appear upon his phone. "Wait a second...isn't that the same..." he stopped when he realised that the coding had been altered slightly "YYGDM-01-3A...ok..." he typed the coordinates into his digivice after withdrawing all of his digimon into it, he then summoned his Heaven's Sword from the device and pointed it at the sky.
"Guess this is the start of a long trip, hold down the fort till I come back got it!?" Ken demanded as he watched his sword shoot a beam into the sky which formed a keyhole, and then Ken disappeared.
"Did he really just follow the crazy voice on the phone?" Mikato asked, Shizuka shrugged.
"Wouldn't be Ken otherwise." she said, as from far away, Terumi who had been observing the trio, put down a cellphone.
"So now that i've got a fight set up, time to see which chicken shit pansy wins." he said chuckling before vanishing into the shadows.

"Caster what's wrong I need you to focus on this ritual, we're going to be trying to get the strongest person we can." said Greil before he too realised what she was sensing... "What the HELL!? That kid's heading to where Krieg just went!?" Caster nodded.
"I think Terumi is responsible for this..." she noted, Greil sighed.
"Note to self, if he comes back here, he's so fucking dead..." he muttered as he sighed. "Whatever, we need to continue this ritual..." Greil said sighing as he took out a knife and prepared to cut his arm to release blood needed for the spell...
"We've got to get someone who can travel through space and time descretely, since these Young Guns can not be triffled with." Greil muttered. "Especially if they were able to take down the Gaurdians..." he clenched his fist hard.
YYDM-01-3A/Queen Serenity's Palace
Unlike the normal timeline Ken was accustomed too, this timeline of the YYDM verse was mostly more peaceful, occasionally there were threats that required the attention of the heros, but nothing that they couldn't handle, the only group who truely had it rough was the timeline's duelists who were also known as Signers due to marks they possessed, however that was hardly an issue inside the palace of Queen Serenity, the ruler of crystal tokyo.
"Come on Umi you need to be quicker!" a teen with bluish green hair similar to those of a special clan of female ice demons watched as her opponent got up, although abit younger her body's physique showed nothing but toughness as sweat poored down her face from intense training.
"Perhaps you could slow down Koori, I want to be faster sure, but don't you think your going abit too fast?" the girl asked breathing hard.
"Well Umi you did tell me you wanted to get faster, so that's why we're training right?" Koori returned as a group of others watched, amongst them was the queen herself in a regal white dress who still looked as young and radiant as she did in her earlier days, beside her was a tall brown haired girl wearing a similar regal green dress.
"Come on Umi keep it up!" she called out proudly. "I was pretty fast when I was young so I know you can surpass me." she said smiling, as another familiar brown haired girl holding a smaller child about eight years old with similar colored hair giggled at this remark.
"Well was that your own speed Makoto, or due to the speed of your cheetah spirit Bacchus?" she asked, but before the elder girl could respond, the room shook violently causing them to go on alert.
"What's that!?" Queen Serenity wondered before standing up as she could clearly sense someone was now in thier chamber, as did the others. Koori and Umi both stopped sparring as they felt it as well.
"Someone's here!?" it was at this moment Blitz X, along with several digimon that were roughly his size and looked like demonic chess peices appeared along side him. Seeing his appearance this caused the woman holding the young child to gasp.
"He's an Ascendant!" she declared which only made Blitz X smirk.
"Not quite "Sailor Sedna" Blitz X declared calling out his battle axe and swinging it around. "See i'm called an Evo-lite, i'm different from the normal ascendants." this was reinforced when he motioned to the fact he had a particle convertor on his back, similar to the one Dramon X had only modified in shape.
"I don't see much of a difference." the woman holding the child retorted.
"We think on a higher level of what it means to fuse with a digimon, ridding them of impurities by the concept of bio-merging." Blitz X spoke again, this caused everyone in the room to sweatdrop.
"Yet your fused with one now, does that not make you a hypocrite?" Koori asked.
"My body's not entirely human anymore girl, but enough talk!" he said as he motioned the new digimon with him to step forward.
"Why have you come here, and what are these beasts with you?" Queen Serenity demanded as Blitz X looked back at the digimon.
(insert song-Sonic Generations ost-Biolizard battle theme)
"Thier called the "Damned" Chessmon...sorry for my language to the young lady in the room." he said addressing the young girl in Karin's arms. "They don't talk very much but they are extremely hard to kill!" he said before being bombarded by a powerful blast from above that sent him flying back. "What the!?" he caught himself as Umi and Koori transformed into sailor uniforms, although he glared a hole through Umi when he saw the resemblence she had to Sailor Jupiter, his view shifted upwards as he saw Angemon X descending, along with another young man wearing black attire. "So there is an ascendant in this time period, how strange." Blitz X mused as the newcomer welded a sword.
"Who the heck are you supposed to be?" the teen demanded. "Figures someone would show up when most of the others are out training or checking on thier planets, mom's never gonna hear the end of this from dad since for once he was right." Koori sighed.
"Brother can you please focus." she demanded, however Karin pulled out her henshin rod and motioned for Koori and the teen to fall back.
"Take Athena somewhere safe you two, me and Angemon X will hold him and these digimon off with Battle Jupiter." she said transforming into her sailor form and motioning to Umi before looking down at the young girl. "Be good for Koori and Ryuuhi and do what they tell you ok?" she said, the child didn't want to leave however.
"But mom I want to fight them with you." this made Blitz X laugh.
"That's pretty cute how she wants to fight...but to be honest I didn't come here for your hides, I came specifically for one person..." his eyes drifted around the room and eventually made contact with Makoto. "To think, I figured with your amazoness like strength, I didn't take you as the type to wear dresses." he said mockingly, seeing this Battle Jupiter got before her.
"You will not touch my mother!" she declared getting into a fighting stance, Blitz X started charging up electrical power.
"Is that a fact now youngling? Long ago your mother, injured my pride as a wrestler and it's because of that day that I stand here now as powerful as I am, ready to destroy her and anyone else who gets in my way!" he declared bringing down his weapon. "Torment of ZEUS!" he called out unleashing a powerful lightning blast down which came at Battle Jupiter who having trained in the element of lightning was stunned and somewhat awestruck by the attack, but abit too much as it slammed into her and sent her crashing into a wall hard, her body became riddled with paralyzation.
(Song ends)
Not even mom has ever used that much power when we trained...who the heck is this guy! she thought as she tried to move but couldn't.
"That's my daughter you just messed with, I don't know who you are, but your going to pay for that one." Makoto demanded, she took out her henshin rod as well, but it was blasted out of her hands by a small bolt of lightning from Blitz X.
"I guess I shouldn't be suprised you don't know me, but at the same time it does kinda hurt me ya know." Blitz X said as he glared her down
"What digimon did this guy fuse with!?" Angemon X wondered as he had felt the power of the attack as well. That would've blown off an arm despite the size, who the heck is this guy? He's got a particle convertor like Dramon X does too, this isn't gonna be an easy fight.
"For the record, I was holding back just now, if anyone among you wishes to live beyond this day, then get the hell out of my way and let me have my revenge." he said glaring a hole at his target.
"Makoto run, he means business!" Queen Serenity said as Blitz X held out his hands and formed a ball of energy which he tossed into the air.
"Too late your highness, STASIS OF THE GODS!" Blitz X yelled out unleashing a powerful output of energy, Angemon X was quick to sheild Athena, Ryuuhi and the sailor garbed Koori, however Makoto, Queen Serenity and Sailor Sedna were all caught by the outpoor of energy which washed over thier bodies and completely stopped them from moving, with the exception of thier mouths.
"What is this!?" Sedna demanded trying to move.
"I can't...move at all!" Queen Serenity demanded, she then thought about trying to contact her spirit partner Sleipnir, but there was no response due to energies about.
"Very simple, I've created my own barrier around this entire castle, meaning until either I die or leave of my own vocation, no one gets in and no one gets out." he glanced over to Angemon X and the others who had not been paralyzed. "Granted there is a limit to what the feild can paralyze, i'd wager all the gaurds in the castle are paralyzed by now, but you must be a high level 1 or level 2 ascendant to be producing a high energy output that protected you as well as those with you." Blitz X mused before making his way towards Makoto, however Angemon X got in his way. "Move."
"I don't know what your deal is with her, but if you wanna get to her, you've gotta go through me." Angemon X declared, Blitz X snapped his fingers and a large mechanical silver clad humanoid shaped built machine appeared, complete with red lazer lines shaping it's face. "What the heck!?" he demanded confused, as were the others.
"Allow me to introduce you to something known as the ascedant killer, technically this thing is a copied design of a similar robot used against those dueling signers to nulify thier synchro monsters, but my leader is a clever guy, he modified three of them himself to take on ascendants and strip them of thier powers!" snapping his hands again the robot unleashing several energy like wires from around the infinity symbol opening on it's chest, they latched onto Angemon X causing him to yell out in pain as he felt something being pulled out of him.
"DIMITRI/FATHER!" Sedna and Athena yelled as Angemon X was suddenly split back into his human form along with his digimon partner Patamon both passed out, Ryuuhi noticed that as the wires retracted amongst them was Dimitri's crest of hope.
"So that robot steals the crest from a digi-destined!?" he wondered confused.
"The proper name for it is Wiselmon, and yeah pretty much, amplifies his power with it, not only with the power of the crest taken, but considering how powerful that dude was, all i'm gonna say is you kids better start running." upon saying this Wiselmon looked at the two teens and started charging a very powerful energy ball on it's arms.
"Oh crud...that looks like Dimitri's signature move!" Ryuuhi growled as Koori picked up Athena.
"Talk later run now!" she declared, however before the machine could fire off it's attack a bright flash appeared in air above them all sending a blinding light ran through the room, following by a screaming noise that was familiar to Sedna, Serenity, Makoto, Koori and to his dismay, Blitz X.
(Insert Song Guns N Roses-Welcome to the Jungle)
Are you freaking kidding me!? How in the hell did he know I was here! Blitz X demanded in thought before turning upwards and seeing a familiar person coming down.
"Gang freaking WAY!" yelled Ken waving his arms as he had no control over his momentum and crashed head onto Wiselmon driving both into the ground hard causing the energy the robot had been collecting to disperse into a group of damned chessmon blowing all of them away including the King which Ryuuhi was able to see out of the corner of his eye.
So that's there weakness...but who in the heck owns this new power!? he wondered as Ken slowly stood up to the suprise of everyone in the room.
Ken, how did he get into this time period!? wondered Sedna confused yet suprised and happy some form of reinforcement had come, Blitz X however had a different take on the situation.
"I don't know how you got here kid but..." he stopped and his face became stupified when Ken was tackled glomped to the ground by a rather happy Koori which made Ryuuhi sweatdrop at his sisters antics.
"Papa Ken, I knew it was you!" she declared in a happy mannor, not knowing she was draining the air out of him.
"I'm choking!" Ken demanded not knowing why a senshi decided to glomp him until he got a decent if not better look at her. Wait a second...KOORI! ACK AIR! NEED AIR!
All fighting had temporarly stopped at Ken's arrival, Blitz X glared hard as unknowingly outside Terumi stood on the castle's steps with an amused smile.
"Ok you dumbasses, show me some good old fashioned hell!" he said with a wide grin.
(Song ends)
Ken must fight the new digimon as Blitz X begins his plans against Makoto, the evo-lites summon a new warrior and terumi continues to be a troll, more next time.
A few things here.
I did tell all I was going to jump straight into the action this go round, though i'm sure Ken's haphazard collision with Wiselmon wasn't intended to nail that point home^^;
Yes this is the same future time line seen at the end of the "Siege of GranDracmon" collab fic between me and Kanius, also don't expect many if any big spoilers, only ones here are so minor they won't matter.
The Damned Chessmon are based off the chess peice enemies from Devil May Cry 3, Animated Ford came up with the idea, you can expect to see them in full action next time.
Wiselmon (and if your a Yugioh buff you can probably guess what the others are called) and the other "ascendant killing" robots are based off a certain archtype from 5d's^^;
If your wonder why Koori is referring to Ken as "Papa" then you obviously haven't read my triple S fic story Tenchu's Requiem (which is crucial since it acts as the chain linking the two seasons together)
Terumi you troll, the troll of trolls lol.
As you can probably expect, this season is mostly going to deal with Ken and his army (though he will stop by his own demension from time to time) but with so many cameo and crossover ideas he's not going to be alone in this.
Hope you enjoyed the introduction cause it's only going to get crazier from here, until next time, peace out dudes.^^

We hopped in the buggy to retrieve it, he told me to lean out and grab it as we rumbled by, I fell out and tumbled down the slope. The second time, I actually played! Just one hole, though. Why? Because golf is boring when you have to, you know, fish your ball out of sand traps and actually walk around. Yep, that's golf: boring at best, painful at worst. Thanks, Dad.

In an effort to enhance expertise in patent cases among U.S. district judges, the 10-year Patent Pilot Program went into effect assigning patent cases to 14 federal district courts in 2011. The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Tennessee was one of those courts chosen.

DJ E-Rock takes the turntables at Vegas' Haze Nightclub
Eric Nagrampa, better known to fans as DJ E-Rock, is one of the West's premiere DJs. He makes appearances at clubs including Fluxx in San Diego, the Roxbury in Hollywood, AT&T Park (home of the San Francisco Giants) and, of course, Haze Nightclub at Aria in Las Vegas, where you can catch him every Saturday.
We had the opportunity to talk with E-Rock a bit about his career and his thoughts on Vegas and the club scene:
VEGAS.com: How'd you get your start in music?
E-Rock: Well, I was about 11 years old. I met these guys at a swimming pool in the same neighborhood as mine, two were older and one was my age. So we used to play video games at his house, and the older guys were into DJing. So eventually, I asked if I could watch, and then it went from me coming to play video games to me practicing DJing.
My dad bought me turntables and I started doing parties at 12 or 13 years old, and this was with a rinky-dink mixer from Radio Shack.
I kind of developed, did that for so long and met a couple of people who were into the San Francisco nightlife thing. Nightclubs in San Francisco weren't fully equipped, so we had to bring a lot of our own gear – I basically became a roadie to these guys. Then when one would need to take a break, I would take over for those few minutes. It was the right place at the right time.
I kind of went my own way when I was about 17 or 18. I joined a competing radio station, which is where I got into open format – a hybrid of Top 40, whether it was house music or hip hop at the time – and I've been doing that for quite a while.
It's a different caliber now with Vegas in the picture, though. From 11, still 32 and still rocking…I'm very grateful.
V: Tell us a bit about your Haze residency. What's the vibe like?
E: Haze is like your quintessential Top 40 open format room. You get everything from big-room EDM to a little dubstep, hip hop, pop.
It's a wide range of everything in one night…I try to give the crowd everything they could possibly ask for. At Haze I play for a good six hours, doing the whole entire night. In my experience it's awesome because I really get more control of the room at all times, really set the tone a lot stronger by doing a six-hour set.
At the end of the night, I feel very satisfied [at Haze]. I would never say I'm "more" satisfied than with other clubs, but I feel satisfied because I can touch every part of what I can give to a crowd.
With doing a six-hour set, it is long but it's really like loving to paint and having a huge canvas that's never-ending. I really love it.
There's a constant energy and by the end of the night I'm tired because I'm giving it all [laughs] just in making sure the energy doesn't fall below its expected level.
V: What have you been listening to lately?
E: Oh, I listen to everything, which is what I've been doing my whole life. It depends on the day: one day I'll listen to a bunch of classics, one day I'll listen to hip hop, one day I'll feel like I have to listen to a lot of house – it just depends. I take what stands out and what I feel wouldn't.
When I hear certain records that stick with me, without me getting sick of them, those are the records I bring out with me.
One record from a long time ago is "Give You Everything" by Ne-Yo and Pitbull – it was one of those records I listened to once, three times, up to 15 times. I spend my whole week listening to music, and the things I can listen to over and over again without my opinion changing are the ones I feel could work in any room. Obviously there are records that I like [myself] and ones I like because I know they could work, and that's one of them.
V: What's different between spinning in Vegas and elsewhere?
E: When I play in San Francisco or San Diego, it's different because people in Vegas are trying to having the most epic 48 hours of their life, whether they remember it or not.
Like 90 percent of people that walk into your club are already on the same page as you. I already have an expectation of how people are going to be, and they have an expectation of how they're going to hear the music transpire over the night.
Sometimes in other markets, they're going for a birthday, they drove to a club, and they're going home late. In Vegas, it's a reason to get away. They're there to have a wild time. That's how I want to play too.
V: What's going on for the rest of 2012?
E: Well, I'll be at Haze every Saturday night, since that's my flagship right now. I'm also touring a lot, booked up until the end of September.
I'll be on my CD release tour [in August], visiting a few cities: Atlantic City, Kansas City, San Francisco, Las Vegas, San Diego, Sacramento, Hollywood.
I'm putting out another record, [as I] had one at the beginning of the year and it did well, called "I Am So Gone." Lots of good feedback, a lot of DJs liked it…so hopefully I can follow up on that.
Really, just trying to put records out that can rock the party, that's what it is. I'm not an EDM guy or a true hip hop guy, I'm an "everything" guy. So, one record might be dance-inspired, one might be hip hop-inspired.
And hopefully, the Giants make the World Series [laughs]. I'm at AT&T Park once a month and with [up to] 41,000 people at the games. I put days into preparing for each night; I can't just walk in and wing it. It's a residency that I love and have grown very, very close to.
Then, of course, there's my Saturday night residency at Haze. I'm always making sure I'm on my toes [for it], and that's definitely the project at hand right now.

Nestled in a corner office in the Main Building sits Gary Lavergne, director of admissions research.
He's an unassuming man, with Excel spreadsheets covering his computer monitor, and stacks of admission papers anchoring the corners of his desk.
"I'm a whiz at Excel when it comes to data," says Lavergne, who crunches numbers for all freshmen who applied and were admitted to The University of Texas at Austin.
"We are regulated by law and by courts, and so I basically have the job of making sure the numbers we report to the Legislature, to the courts and to the President's Office are right," he said. "And that is more than just counting bodies, you have to apply an interpretation of the law."
However, Lavergne, who celebrated his 10-year anniversary with the university Sept. 1, has achieved notoriety outside of his role in admissions.
Lavergne is an acclaimed author of four books, including two that chronicle significant moments in the university's history: "A Sniper in the Tower: The Charles Whitman Murders" and "Before Brown: Heman Marion Sweatt, Thurgood Marshall and The Long Road to Justice."
University of Texas Press released his most recent book, "Before Brown," in September.
"What I like about history is a lot of times it challenges you to be a good investigator," he said, "to find those things that other people haven't found and didn't notice."
Lavergne said the Heman Sweatt story interested him mostly because it was an admissions case. It was in the wake of the Michigan affirmative action case in 2003, when regents decided to start considering race in the admissions process, that he decided to write the book.
"I came to realize very quickly that it was a milestone in the history of civil rights and no full-length book had been written on it, and that attracted me right away," he said. "It helped me a great deal as an admissions officer."
For the next five years, Lavergne spent every spare minute researching, writing and chronicling the life of Heman Marion Sweatt, learning how the case paved the way for the landmark case Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka and helped establish the career of Thurgood Marshall.
"When I decide to write a book, I've decided to give up three to five years of my personal life," he said. "You have to ask yourself, 'Are you willing to spend three years of your evenings, of your Saturdays, of your vacations, of your holidays, working on one thing? Are you willing to do that?'"
Lavergne was more than willing. After all, this was his fourth time doing it.
He spent evenings in libraries, weekends in Houston -- Sweatt's hometown -- and hours tirelessly typing away at the 700-page manuscript.
"I don't consider myself a great writer. I do consider myself a great storyteller," he said. "And therein lies the other major force in my life, my wife. She is the real writer in my family."
Lavergne's wife, Laura -- who works down the hall in the Main Building -- has edited all four of Lavergne's books.
"My wife is a key to my success and maybe the cause of my success in writing," he said. "I'll write a 700-page manuscript and then I give it to her. She'll take it and turn it into something publishable."
Lavergne's other books include "Worse Than Death: The Dallas Nightclub Murders" and "The Bad Boy From Rosebud: The Murderous Life of Kenneth Allen McDuff."

What it is
Generally performed on children, otoplasty is a minor cosmetic surgery that corrects protruding ears. Otoplasty can be done on adults as well to pin back ears, reduce ear size, amend ear shape, or correct torn ear lobes.
Children whose ears have arrived at a mature size and shape, usually by seven or eight years old, are good candidates for otoplasty. Excellent candidates are children whose ears have just reached full size as their ear cartilage is more malleable. For adults with asymmetrical or protruding ears, consultation with the doctor is the ideal way to determine the strength of candidacy for otoplasty.
For younger children, it is recommended that otoplasty be performed under general anesthesia; for older children and adults, otoplasty can be done with a local anesthetic and sedative. Otoplasty surgery lasts about two hours. Otoplasty incisions are made behind the ear, hiding scars. Cartilage and skin are removed as necessary in otoplasty to reshape the ear or move it closer to the head. Permanent sutures are required to keep the cartilage closer to the head in otoplasty, but they are not painful or visible.
Otoplasty is a very safe procedure. Complications from otoplasty are uncommon but can include blood collection, known as hematoma, on the ear or infected cartilage. Otoplasty does not affect hearing.
Otoplasty recipients will need household help for a couple of days, and within a week of otoplasty, patients can return to school or work. After otoplasty, patients will wear a heavy bandage for a few days, which will be replaced with another head dressing for a couple weeks. There may be pain and discomfort after otoplasty, which can be negotiated with prescription medication. Physical activity should be restricted for two to three weeks after otoplasty. Otoplasty recipients (and their family and friends) are asked to make sure the ears are not bent forward during the healing process.

At a speech delivered in early November at the National Institutes of Health, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton called on the United States and the rest of the global community to create an "AIDS-free generation" using measures based on scientific research completed in the past two years.[1] Clinton called for a decrease in the number of new HIV/AIDS cases to occur through increased use of anti-retroviral drugs, male circumcision, and prevention of mother-to-child transmission.[2]
Clinton's suggested strategies build on the global health policies of the administrations of presidents George W. Bush and Barak Obama. The Bush administration developed the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR); President Obama both expanded on PEPFAR and developed the Global Health Initiative, which is not specific to HIV/AIDS but focuses on the prevention of a number of diseases.[3] While PEPFAR provides billions of dollars to the global HIV/AIDS fight, Clinton's suggested measures would expand on the program and "take a comprehensive view of our approach to the pandemic."[4]
Male circumcision, a prevention strategy whose use has increased in the past few years, is a low-cost procedure that reduces female-to-male transmission of the virus. The aim to prevent mother-to-child transmission would include broader health programs that keep both the mother and the child healthy and directly affect the goal of an AIDS-free generation. Finally, the increased use of anti-retroviral drugs would treat HIV-positive patients before they become ill, creating indirect economic benefits.[5] Clinton emphasized that these three main strategies are most effective when used in tandem with condoms, counseling, testing, and other prevention interventions that have been used in the past.[6]
Clinton specifically defined an AIDS-free generation as "one where, first, virtually no children are born with the virus; second, as these children become teenagers and adults, they are at far lower risk of becoming infected than they would be today thanks to a wide range of prevention tools; and third, if they do acquire HIV, they have access to treatment that helps prevent them from developing AIDS and passing the virus on to others."[7] The first goal she set was for no more mothers to infect their babies with HIV through birth or breast-feeding by 2015.[8]
Clinton's suggestions received praise from the public health community. "It's very encouraging to see the U.S. government wanting to turn the latest HIV/AIDS science into policies that will save lives while beginning to reverse the epidemic. Now is the time for bold action in order to get ahead of the wave of new HIV infections" commented Dr. Unni Karunakara, president of Doctors Without Borders.[9]
Even with such support, concerns still exist about the high costs often associated with HIV prevention. Since PEPFAR's inception in 2003, it has spent tens of billions of dollars to treat seven million of the 34 million individuals infected with the virus.[10] With the U.S. budget facing the possibility of severe cuts, it is still unclear if the United States will be able to fund the necessary increases in programming.[11] While no overall costs were given, Clinton emphasized that the suggested measures are also the most cost-effective measures. The cost of anti-retroviral drugs has dropped from $1,100 a year per patient in 2004 to $335 today.[12] Clinton also outlined three chief ways this program would gain strength and support, both financially and otherwise, by basing prevention and treatment efforts on scientific conclusions; expanding the role of partner countries, particularly through work with governments, non-governmental organizations, and faith-based organizations; and calling on donor nations.[13] The Obama administration's global AIDS coordinator, Dr. Eric Goosby, notes that there will be several more speeches in the next few months that will address the specific costs.[14]
Through implementation of this comprehensive approach, Clinton's hope is that the debate around treatment versus prevention will cease. As this speech marks the 30th year in the fight against AIDS, she says the United States must continue to be a leader in the fight against AIDS, with the focus on "treatment as prevention."[15]

December 21st is going to be the longest night of the year (literally, it's the Winter solstice). Here to help you ensure it also doubles as the Best Night of Your Life, we've got a list of the best happy hour spots in Chicago to kick if off -- because no good/great/best/average/kinda aight night is complete without one of them. Check out our picks below (which celebrate eight establishments that skirt Illinois' system of oppression with incredible deals on food and booze), and make sure to fully map out a perfect evening with our itinerary builder.
This Mojito Hot Toddy Is the Destroyer of Colds
Union Sushi + Barbecue Bar
River North
This two-story sushi house is home to arguably one of the best happy hour deals in Chi-town: $1 oysters, $2 beef fillet skewers, and $4 shrimp tempura rolls Monday through Saturday from 5-630p. Tack on a glass of sake, and you have all your major food groups for $20.
Cafe Ba-ba-reeba
Lincoln Park
This bacon-wrapped-dates-equipped tapas spot offers $1 pinchos and $3 small plates Mon-Thurs 4-6p and Fri-Sat, 10p-midnight. Assuming you're not gassed from yelling at the TV with FC Barcelona on, you can also take down half-priced signature cocktails on Mondays, and bottles of Spanish wine on Tuesdays.
River West
There's a reason this tavern touts the title, "Chicago's Most Intimate Bar": on any given night, this 460sqft'er is packed wall-to-wall with thirsty bar-goers. Try one of their legendary gimlets or margaritas made with fresh ingredients and quality spirits, and check their Facebook page for the latest specials.
Howell's & Hood
This epic Downtown beer hall offers 114 domestic and international beers on tap, and upscale bar fare like tomato powder-crusted venison. Plus, their weekly "Hump Day Hops" leans on one awesome beer special.
Near North Side
Brought to you by the folks behind Tavernita and Mercadito, this Spanish-y hotspot is the answer to your pork belly slider and cheeky craft cocktail needs. Thanks to their daily Tapas Time, guests who order a boozy beverage (might we suggest the Booty Collins?) between 5-7p will receive a small plate special.
Near North Side
This highly trafficked New Asian-haven offers 50% off select appetizers, like lemongrass beef lollipops and sushi from 4-6p during their Sunda Social Hour. Also worth putting on your iCal: between 6-7p on the last Monday of every month, $25'll buy you a maki-making lesson with Executive Chef Jess DeGuzman—sushi and sake included.
The Beer Bistro
Lincoln Park
All December long, this Lincoln Park fixture is running its annual 12 Beers of Xmas challenge. Imbibe 12 diverse Christmas-style brews (not at once, you've got a whole month) and win a t-shirt with the logos of every beer you just drank.
High Noon Saloon
Wicker Park
This Old West-inspired tequila bar and eatery serves Tex-Mex brunch Saturdays and Sundays from 11a-2p, complete with breakfast burritos and "huevos benedictos". For $25, you can snag an entrée and bottomless Bloody Marys or mimosas.
1. Union Sushi & Barbeque Bar230 W Erie St, Chicago
2. Café Ba-Ba-Reeba2024 N Halsted St, Chicago
3. The Matchbox770 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago
4. Howells & Hood435 N Michigan Ave, Chicago
5. Barcito151 W Erie St, Chicago
6. Sunda110 W Illinois St, Chicago
7. Beer Bistro North1415 W Fullerton, Chicago
8. High Noon Saloon1560 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago
A towering two-level sushi bar with graffiti-covered concrete walls and a custom-made Robata grill, Union's Sushi-Wabi-vet chef's using said flame to work up prosciutto-wrapped scallops and garlic-soy lamb, while also kicking out noodle creations.
This tapas joint is satiating Chicago with their small plates, like bacon wrapped dates (warrants a second date, for sure), goat cheese in a tomato sauce w/ garlic toast, and pitchers (after pitcher) of sangria. Call ahead to make a reservation and thank us later.
As the self-proclaimed "most intimate bar in Chicago" at only 460sqft, The Matchbox is not for those who require substantial personal space. It is, however, for folks who enjoy high-quality cocktails like fresh lime juice gimlets and Manhattans garnished with tasty french cherries, paired with emphatic conversation with friends and strangers at very close range. Having stood at the corner of Ogden and Milwaukee for over 75 years, the divey hallway-eqsue space is a Chicago staple, with red tin ceilings, a dark-wooded bar, and ever-present rows of christmas light dangling above shelves crammed with liquor. The place serves a handful of bar snacks -- panko-crusted mozzarella, bacon-wrapped-scallops, wings -- and in the warmer months, there is side walk seating available (with far more space and far less character than the joint's interior).
From the folks behind Old Town Pour House and Sweetwater, Howells & Hood is an epic beer hall in the Trib Tower, equipped with 114 beers on tap springing from 360 draft faucets spread across the 23,000sqft venue. With copper-topped bars and inscriptions on the travertine-tiled walls, the restaurant replicates the epic neo-Gothic design of the landmark space credited to John Howells and Raymond Hood, who thankfully weren't name Lipschitz and McDingleberry.
Barcito is serving up a rambunctious, awesome happy hour deal, as well as specialties like artichoke salad and something called a Booty-Collins (get it).
Toeing the line between swanky hotspot and sophisticated dining destination, this Asian fusion concept from Rockit Ranch Productions is a worthy choice for an undeniably hip meal out in River North. The menu offers some seriously interesting eats (duck breast kimchi, oxtail pot stickers) and includes sushi, sashimi, and plenty of wok dishes. The beer list is heavy on the Asian pours, and there are sake and speciality cocktails as well. Sunda's decor feels just as sleek as the menu with polished black bamboo and high wooden tables.
The former Small Bar Fullerton has changed hands, but will remain craft-centric now that it's BB North, a second location for the West Loop bar that flaunts more than 160 taps, and sports a menu aided by the kitchen's smoker, which'll flavor up everything from ribs to wings.
Are you a fan of Tombstone? The 1993 film, not the popular frozen pizza brand. Because you can get an Old West feel and stop eating from the freezer section thanks to High Noon Saloon, a Tex-Mex tequila bar sporting a spur-scuffed hickory floor, olde-tyme photography, butcher block tables, and fringed leather stools.

3513 Hard Scrabble Road
Columbia, SC 29223
9:15 am - 10:30 am
11:00 am - 12:15 am
Foundations is our membership class, led by Pastor Tom Medeiros. Foundations meets every other month and consists of four Sunday afternoon sessions. Here's where you learn all about Sandhills: what we believe, how we relate to God and each other, and how we reach out to our community.
One common question we hear is, "Why is this class required for membership? Shouldn't being a member of Christ's church be enough?" The Bible doesn't address the issue of local church membership. The truth is, there is only one global church. However, we believe there are benefits to joining a local church.
Joining a church is like joining a family. You want to be with a group of people you can trust. You want to be in a church with leadership that you feel you can fully support. You will learn about the character and heart of this church and its leaders as they guide you through Foundations. You will also get to know other people on a more personal level as they take part in this class with you.
Whether you are just investigating Christianity or hold a theological degree, you will value the opportunity to explore what the Bible teaches about various elements of faith in Christ. You will also learn what the Christian and Missionary Alliance (our denomination) and Sandhills Community Church believe about various Biblical issues.
In order to become a member of Sandhills Community Church, you must attend one of our Foundations classes. Foundations meets every other month and consists of four Sunday afternoon sessions, each lasting 2.5 hours. It's where you learn all about Sandhills and what it means to be a member. We discuss what we believe, why we do ministry the way that we do, and the expectations for members. It's also a place where you can start to create lasting connections with other Sandhills attenders.
Foundations Leaders
Fill out the form below if you would like to join our next class. Lunch and childcare is provided for all sessions with advance registration. For more information about Foundations, contact Pastor Tom Mederios at 803.699.7112.

Rising interest rates have slowed a recent run of unexpectedly high prepayments of government-insured mortgages, making servicing rights for loans held in Ginnie Mae securities more attractive to investors.
Many Ginnie Mae MSR bidders have been sitting on the sidelines amid concerns about faster-than-expected prepayments fueled by the Federal Housing Administration's streamline refinance and the Department of Veterans Affairs' interest rate reduction refinancing loan programs.
"We expect that once we see a couple months of reduced speeds on discount rate servicing, that market's going to improve," said Matt Maurer, managing director at MountainView Servicing Group, a subsidiary of MountainView Capital Holdings in Denver.
Correspondent originators have become more aggressive about soliciting borrowers through these programs, and home price appreciation has reached a point where more FHA borrowers have been able to refinance into agency products to avoid mortgage insurance premiums for the life of their loans. Agency prepayments, in comparison to Ginnie's, have been much more in line with investors' expectations.
Servicing rights become less valuable when borrowers refinance, move or otherwise pay off their mortgages faster than investors project because fewer monthly payments are collected over the life of the loans. But with mortgage rates higher since the November election, loans collateralizing all mortgage-backed securities may not prepay as fast and Ginnie prepayments could be more predictable.
"When that happens, buyers can be much more comfortable buying servicing," said Maurer.
Even a small increase in mortgage rates can dramatically cut borrowers' refinance incentive. For example, from July 11, 2016 to Feb. 22, the average rate charged by lenders for 30-year fixed-rate Federal Housing Administration loans increased to 3.56%, from 3.2% (excluding mortgage insurance premiums). That eliminated the refinancing incentive on 68% of the unpaid principal balance of loans held in Ginnie Mae securities, according to an analysis by FTN Financial and KDS Global.
When the average FHA rate was 3.2%, more than $1 trillion in unpaid principal balance had a refinance incentive of at least 50 basis points, including more than $482 billion in UPB with at least a 100-basis-point refi incentive. Now, less than $485 billion in outstanding UPB has at least a 50-basis-point refi incentive, including less than $242 billion that has at least a 100-basis-point incentive.
This shows that while higher rates offer more prepayment protection, the current mix of outstanding government loans is sensitive to small rate moves in either direction, said Walter Schmidt, senior vice president and manager of mortgage strategies at FTN Financial, a capital markets and investment services company in Chicago.
"If rates fall 30 or 40 basis points from here, we could see a big increase in prepays. I don't think the market is properly pricing that in," he said. "A lot of the servicing now resides with specialty servicers and if they have an origination arm, they could be quick to refi."
And some forecasts do call for rates to fall later this year.
"Once the capital markets come to appreciate that the promises of tax reform and fiscal stimulus by President Trump are unlikely to impact the overall economic situation, we fully expect to see benchmark interest rates fall," Chris Whalen, a senior managing director and head of research at Kroll Bond Rating Agency, wrote in a report.
Another factor that's making Ginnie Mae servicing rights more attractive to investors is a clarified contract designed to encourage the use of Ginnie MSRs as collateral for financings.
"I have heard that change by Ginnie is a big deal," Whalen said in an interview.
Lenders have indicated the new contract has the potential to improve the appetite for MSR financings.
"It definitely sounds like something that could open up that box a little more," said Danny Jasper, senior vice president in capital markets for Castle & Cooke Mortgage in Draper, Utah.
Even with the new agreement, the Ginnie approval process for MSR financings can take three to six months, said Maurer.
"It still takes a good amount of time for Ginnie Mae to provide approval on a financing line, so I think that'll help the market but I don't think that'll be the main driver of why the market improves," he said.
Some providers of financing secured by MSRs remain skeptical that the clarification offers much new certainty that Ginnie won't interfere with their claims to collateral, said James Reynolds III, managing partner of The Reynolds Group in Summit, N.J.
"They say nothing's really changed. From what I gather from the industry, there's sort of a wink, and a 'We'll take care of you,'" said Reynolds, who consults with companies that provide commercial financing to home mortgage lenders.
MSR financing is growing, but there can be deep haircuts on it and some banks "will not touch it" due to continuing concerns that Ginnie Mae could stake a competing claim on the collateral, he said.
The new agreement is a clarification that Ginnie won't interfere with financiers' rights to servicing — so long as Ginnie is given all the information it needs to be sure the bond payments that the agency insures flow through to investors.
Legally, the latest revision of the Ginnie agreement "incrementally ameliorates some of those concerns participants in the agreement have had about their rights to the servicing in the financing arrangement," said Nanci Weissgold, a consumer finance attorney in Alston & Bird's Washington, D.C., office.
The agreement has been revised multiple times in the past several years to address these concerns. During that time, MSR financing activity has slowly increased, but it's unclear whether the two trends are related, said Aimee Cummo, a partner in Alston & Bird LLP's New York office.
"There are more participants in the space than eight years ago, but it's a little difficult to say whether all of that incremental participation is a direct result of the acknowledgement agreement," said Cummo, who represents commercial financiers.

Authorities say they have obtained surveillance video footage that might identify the man who fatally stabbed a fellow passenger on the Metro Red Line train on Friday evening, the first slaying to occur on the Los Angeles subway since it began operation in 1993.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, which patrols the area's public transit system, also appealed to the public Saturday for information on the killer, who bolted from the train at the Hollywood and Vine station about 7:30 p.m.
The attack, which played out before a handful of witnesses, including a Los Angeles Times journalist, sent passengers scurrying to the rear of the rolling subway car as the victim, Jesse Garay, 59, of North Hollywood, collapsed, his blood pooling on the floor. The killer had been arguing with Garay, and was reportedly advised by a pair of young female passengers on how he should escape capture by authorities.
"It was actually really depressing to me," said Times music writer Todd Martens. Although the women did not appear to know the man, "they advised him how to get out of there," Martens said.

On my weekend itinerary: bowling, this book, and lots and lots of ice cream. (Anything to beat the heat!)
I've been doing a lot of thinking lately about this blog and what direction I might like to take it going forward. I've felt a little scatterbrained thus far, but all the same, I'm having a great time experimenting, figuring it all out, and "meeting" all of you. As always, thank you for reading and for bearing with me as I get my, well, bearings.
See you Monday. Until then: stay cool, stay safe!

Using an array to keep track of movie clips
Okay, first thing's first: Let's make a few movie clips(it doesn't matter what's in them, but they should all have the same width and height) Now that you've made those, give them linkage names. Once you do that, type in the Actions panel the following script:
stop() myArray = ["clip1", "clip2", "clip3"]
Note that you should type in the linkage names you gave them, not clip1 or clip2. Now, type in the following script to attach them to the screen(this may not be too useful now, but with 100 movie clips, it could hurt your fingers to attach all of them)
for(a=1; a<=myArray.length; ++a){ movieToAttach = myArray[a-1] this.attachMovie(movieToAttach, movieToAttach, a*10) this[movieToAttach]._x = a*100 this[movieToAttach]._y = 100 }
This script does a loop that occurs for as many times as the items in myArray. The .length property is just how many items are in the array. Then we set a variable called movieToAttach that is equal to the number item in myArray that a is minus one(because arrays start with one) Then we attach that movie and set it's name to be the same thing. Then we set it's depth to a times 10. OK, now we have to set the position(can't have movie clips stacked over each other!) We use dynamic naming to set the x position of whatever movie we attached to a times 100. Then we do the same thing with the y position except it is set to equal 100 every time. Now let's check to see if the player clicks on them.

At EICMA 2011 (Milan's International Motorcycle Exhibition) Piaggio just unveiled the Vespa 46: a leap into the "future with a tribute to the MP6, the original prototype [released in 1946] and progenitor of the world's most famous scooter, an unsurpassed example of Italian style and creativity.
By distilling the essence of a scooter that changed the style of individual mobility forever and enhancing the lines that secured its success, the Pontedera Style Centre has projected the Vespa into a possible future where references and projections, tradition and innovation, merge seamlessly. The vibrant heart of the Vespa 46 is a state-of-the-art engine that paves the way for forthcoming advances, with low fuel consumption and minimal exhaust and noise emissions."
[source: Piaggio]
The most distinguishable element of the Quarantasei design is the aggressive forward lean in the rear, emphasized by the hanging seat and the way the bottom of the frame rises up towards the wasp-like tail. ["Vespa" is "Wasp" in Italian]
Vespa has built a reputation for classic, retro-styled scooters, trading on its iconic styling. But the Quarantasei concept is a look toward ahead, and might be the most futuristic-looking Vespa ever!

The Greench deodorant powder
Initially I was kicking myself why I got this – but its effectiveness totally kicks ass!
Some of its ingredients: thyme oil, tea tree oil, sage, rosemary
You can just imagine how herbal-ly this smells, however the scent grew on me! I also love that this bottle last me for ages. More than 6 months so far and I am still finishing it.
To use: Sprinkle some onto the palm and dust under armpits (and anywhere you fancy)
AU$10.95 (75g)
Vanilla Puff dusting powder
I have used this for a long time, when it was even still in its medieval form of a black tin with holes at the top for an opening. Then somewhat I took a break from it, and now that I have it again, I don't want to go without it, ever again. I personally like body powders, and this just disappears smoothly on the skin, leaving a nice gentle scent of vanilla without overpowering or sickening. At least, to me it doesn't.
I also love using body lotion or body oil and sprinkle this over the top so it instantly leaves a silky smooth, non-greasy finish touch to the skin.
Probably will last me 3/4 of the whole year. I have had mine since February and nowhere near halfway through. To use: same as other powders, sprinkle some onto the palm and dust wherever.
AU$10.95 (50g)
No Drought dry shampoo
Some dry shampoos feel sticky, icky, and worse, weigh my hair down. This does not! Yippee! Fyi, my hair is a combination type. Easily greasy on the scalp/base, and normal to drier towards the end. Not frizzy, not curly, just naturally straight and flat. Some days I just want that second-day-hair, the bottom ends would be alright, the top would be… ew. No Drought to the rescue!
Smells faintly of grapefruit and citrus/lime, I find this really pleasant and nice to use. It does not leave a weird grey streaks either. I like to use this: rub it around my hair roots then do a quick whoosh with the blow dryer. My favourite dry shampoo, so far, and it lasts for ages, and I won't have to worry about it being "flammable" like most other dry shampoos.
AU$13.50 (115g)
Sea Spray hair mist
Quite a surprise this one! I was not expecting much at all when I first laid eyes on this. Sea salt spray usually gets sticky and wet, just salty feeling that does not sit well with me. Surprise, surprise! This, I like! In conjunction to using the dry shampoo for a second-day-hair, I like spritzing a bit of this and scrunch my hair to give it a bit more volume and oomph. If not, lifeless my hair tends to be!
Use sparingly, you don't want to drench your hair with it. Spritz and scrunch.
I find that it gives a medium hold. I also love that I can reapply this later on in the day.
AU$12.50 (100g)

The Chiefs returned from their bye week on Monday and began preparations for Sunday's showdown at Denver. Here are some of coach Andy Reid's thoughts from a teleconference on Monday:
Q: Are
there any extra challenges coming out of a bye week getting ready for an upcoming game?
"Every game is a challenge in this league. The challenges, I think, are the same. I guess it would be dependent on where your bye week is during the year, how many years you've been in, all of those. You take those into consideration; at least I would when answering that. I thought ours hit at a good time. I think the guys will come back, their retention level will be good, and they'll be a little bit fresher and ready to go. We practiced today, so they looked like they were moving around pretty good."
What did you guys work on in practice?
"We worked a little bit on Denver and a little bit more on Denver."
How does the head coach get some relief during the bye week?
"Well, we worked, the staff worked, up through Wednesday. We put a full Wednesday in, and then we took a couple days off. We have the luxury of having these iPads, so we have a little bit of mobility there, flexibility that we didn't have a few years back. So I was able to take a couple days off and still have my iPad with me and be able to review some tape."
What are you seeing from the Broncos' defense?
"They're very good. We've seen that the whole year, but we saw that yesterday against San Diego. They're a good football team and a good defense. I think they're very well-rounded; their special teams are very good, too. They're a good bunch."
When you first got here with John Dorsey, how much time did you spend looking at the Broncos and figuring out what the best way to match up with them would be?
"I'm not sure you necessarily do that as much, as you want to try to accumulate as many good football players as you can at all positions. That's kind of the way you go. Teams are so fluid; there's so much change in this league. I don't think you set yourself up necessarily that way other than trying to get what you need to compete within the National Football League. That's kind of how you roll with it. It's a little bit vague, but that's really how you do it, then just say, 'Listen we're going to get ourselves ready for one team.'"
What's your message to your team today to keep them focused because there is so much hype behind this game?
"I don't think focus is where your emphasis goes on this game. They're going to be focused. They're playing a good football team, and that's just how it works. The important part is that you go back to the things that you've done every week from a preparation standpoint. You respect the heck out of Denver, then you study them and get yourself right as a team. You make sure that you know the scheme, make sure that you stay up on what you need to be physically at the highest level. That's how you go about doing your business. You don't want to get caught up in all of the distractions that go on with being a Sunday night game or however you look at it. We're playing the Denver Broncos, and you want to make sure you get yourself prepared to play a good football team."
Did everybody come back this morning? Is everybody in the shape that they left?
"They are. Everybody was back today, which is a good thing. They moved around good today."
And Mike Catapano remains the only injured guy?
REID: "He actually practiced today, and we did a 10-10-10 practice, which you kind of remember from the training camp stuff. He moved around OK. We'll see how he does come Wednesday, but today he moved around OK."

- They make a wonderful substitute for sliced almonds in salads at a fraction of the cost but with all that nutty flavor.
- Add pumpkin seeds to healthy sautéed vegetables.
- Use them in hot or cold cereals (oatmeal in particular).
- Try them in your favorite granola bar or cookie recipe. They're nice with raisins.
- Grind your pumpkin seeds with garlic, parsley and cilantro. Mix in a little olive oil and lemon juice for a knock-out salad dressing!
- Chock-full of nutrients, make pumpkin seeds your 3 p.m. pick-me-up snack!
And while it is possible to extract the seed from the shell, it's hardly worth your time. If it's the "hulled" seed you're after, it's better to buy them in bulk from the grocery store because they're so cheap. This post is about snacking on the shell and seed.
1.) Wash pumpkin seeds well using a bowl or colander. I prefer a colander to a bowl because the water drains out while you're removing the pumpkin guts from the seeds. But if you use a bowl, the one advantage is that the seeds float to the top (but easily spill over and down the sink they go.)
*If you have the time, it may be beneficial to lay your pumpkin seeds on a paper bag or towel and let them dry out overnight. But that makes this a two-day project and I was ready to roast*
1.) Plant-based Omega Fatty 3-fats (essential fatty acids). It's critical to get some of your omega 3's from animal sources like fish. However; raw nuts and seeds, pumpkin seeds in particular are one of the best sources of of EFA's.
2.) Zinc so you don't get sick. Your body loves zinc for immunity, cell growth, sleep & mood boosts, and overall skin health.
3.) Anti-inflammatory benefits. No drug side effects here!
4.) Heart healthy magnesium. 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds contain half of the amount of magnesium you need each day. And magnesium has been shown to benefit blood pressure, and help prevent sudden heart attack, stroke, and cardiac arrest. What's not to love?
5.) Anti-diabetic effects. Pumpkin seeds help improve insulin regulation and decrease oxidative stress.
6.) Prostrate health. Men love pumpkin seeds and pumpkin seeds love men's health. Make your man some pumpkin seeds now.
7.) Postmenopausal woman. Pumpkin seeds have a lot of that good HDL cholesterol. And studies have shown it can decrease blood pressure, hot flashes, headaches, & joint pains. All good things!
8.) Heart & liver health. Yes, high in calories, but also high in those healthy fats and antioxidants that your heart and liver love.
9.) Tryptophan for restful sleep. Your body takes that tryptophan and turns it into serotonin which gets converted into melatonin, the "sleep hormone." And we've all bought those bottles of melatonin from the grocery store, right? Especially when they're BOGO. But pumpkin seeds are right in your diet and free! And sleep truly rules.

Room wanted in Besiktas (Istanbul)
Hi everyone.
I'm a professional female from the UK looking for an affordable room to rent in Besiktas, from July onwards.
Ideally I'd like to find someplace central, near the port and Carsi, with double bed, wifi and bills included. I'd prefer a female flatmate.
Please feel free to contact me via PM if you are looking for a flatmate, or know someone who is.
