hello from your student from h e l l LOL

#1 // wc: 995
But why does it have to be me, just why, a young voice drawled out, did you do this, Shalulu?
He lay out there clad in black rolls of fabric. Vibrant turquoise strands wrapped around his shoulders, his waist, the ankles that twirled about in the swirling, clear water. Empty black eyes stared up at the aurora waves drowning a sunset sky. Little waves lapped at the edges of his vision, his black hair drenched in the water. It was nice to float here to feel weightless, cradled by the Pokémon that lazily let him slip into the water as retribution for his words.
Conan coughed as the water overcame him, attempting to act hurt in response to the Pokémon. Lanky legs kicked the serene, cool water. In truth, he had nothing to worry about. Although the bottom of this river stretched onwards in a bottomless abyss, Shalulu would have caught him even before he knew himself that he was in danger. The Pokémon and him worked like partners that way; Shalulu always guarded him, and in return, Conan offered the Pokémon endless companionship in their torn world.
Because you are human like her, Young One, the Kingdra answered back, nuzzling the boys shoulder with the rubbery snout. She has a thirst for knowledge and is human as well. What ails you about this task? The voice bombinated from deep within the Pokémon, a low-range command that still managed to be gentle. It was the voice that ordered the Pokémon of many Seas on the PokeWorld; it was the voice that sang Conan to sleep when he was a child.
Dont trust em, he shot out cold. His head tilted back up, the water threatening to spill into his mouth. His whole world upside down. He wasnt supposed to be here, on this PokeWorld. But the humans never wanted him, at least not his own parents or anyone who would have cared about him - Dont want em here. Primitive words came out faster than he could think about them.
Go, child. You will learn something too, maybe even more than her. At that, the Kingdra scooped the boys tender body back onto his back. Conan hugged the rigged surfaces of the navy scales, trying to reach both arms around the creatures body until his fingertips met on the other side of the blue muscled mass. But alas, Conan was still too young, too small; and this was why Shalulu got to make all the decisions. He was older, wiser, and would always take care of him.
His eyes were now set on the whirlpool gathering speed at the far end of their side of the Selefeine River. Shalulus eyes, slits of burning red, darkened as he worked on psychically spinning the whirlpool, transforming it from a tiny bump to the roaring vortex. The surface of the water crinkled with the impact of it like a sheet of paper being punctured from the other side. And that glowing, pulsating, other side was the side that held the woman he was supposed to find and bring here -
Conan said nothing as he stood on the back of Shalulu, careful not to slide as his knees pulled upwards. Im proud of you, Conan, the figure gently praised. Remember to be kind, in all things you do and with all the people you meet.
Conan couldnt be moved to return the sentiment. He merely focused his gaze on the portal, steadying his stance that descended into a crouch. With one hand washing over the holster of his knife, the other hand shot outwards and balanced him. The next second, Conan long-jumped from Shalulus back to the very portal, his body descending into the white foam and vaporized nothingness that wafted upwards from the water magic. Shalulu stared on as the portal cleared and the water returned to its calm state. The pink shell on his forehead, tucked between ribbon-like fins that weaved their way upwards on his temples, pulsated with the boys heartbeat. Ah yes, from here he would be able to watch the boys every moment, to see him safely bring back the woman who craved knowledge that would perhaps one day save their universe
Safety was the last thing on Conans mind. A scar in the air above the URPG Space Center split open, allowing Conan to jump straight onto metal and concrete. Ugh, he thought, abhorring the smooth cold of it all. Each step sent shockwaves up to his knees with the hard impact. This was nothing compared to what they had on PokeWorld. Leave it to the humans and PokeSouls to mess everything up. With that sentiment, the boy sprinted across the Space Station, avoiding any and all contact with the people who roamed about in the false sunshine. Shalulu taught him to be discrete. Shalulu told him to be kind.
But he hated this. Nearing the entrance of Mons School, Conan prepared himself for another leap as he soared through a window of the impressive center of learning and camaraderie and discovery and all those lies. Air whooshed past him. His blood in his ear, his heart in his throat. Get this mess over with already. He didnt care that school was still in session today. He didnt care to be kind or gentle. He didnt care about reading the names of the teachers posted outside of their doors in handcrafted, shiny chrome, not that he could read at all.
He burst through the door, leaving behind splintered wood and glass. Sharp crunches resounded as his shoes stepped over the debris. Not a heart beat missed. You. Lady. You are coming with me. To learn something. His words curt, his gaze not quite focused, Conan crossed his arms. He didnt care if he had the right room. He would do this to every classroom if he had to. Shalulu could slap him around later; he just wanted this to be over with.

Flu Planning
The implications of a pandemic could cause significant levels of absenteeism in the workforce potentially impacting on an organisation's ability to maintain business operations. The current threat of a pandemic is from new and emerging flu viruses with the ability to infect many people over a wide geographical area who have little or no immunity.
It is prudent to include a focus on pandemic planning as part of an organisation's business continuity management programme to enable an effective response to a pandemic virus which could vary in both severity and spread. A suggested worse case scenario would be to plan for up to 25-50% absenteeism, based on the cumulative impacts of illness, holidays, potential school closures and self absenting for other reasons, e.g. for fear of infection.
Organisations should review regularly their objectives for the continuity of business in a pandemic situation and develop practical contingencies. Pandemic planning can help ensure continuity of personnel in other situations which could impact on business continuity, for example, industrial action, severe weather conditions or other disease outbreaks.
Teed has produced a Checklist of key actions and issues that should be taken into consideration when developing plans and contingencies for managing a flu pandemic or other disease outbreak.

Biking Culture……Bicycles in Doisneau's Street Photography
This poster led me to Kahitsukan, the Kyoto Museum of Contemporary Art, and a Robert Doisneau exhibit. Doisneau was a street photographer in Paris around the same time as Henri Cartier-Bresson.
Question: Does the fact that Doisneau staged this image change how you look or feel about it?
On the Road……A Few Days in Kyoto
What an awesome city to travel by bicycle. I rented a bike from my hotel and had no trouble getting wherever I needed to go — coffee, ramen and sushi shops, Uniqlo, museums, gardens, and the famous Cycles Grand Bois.
More pictures to come.

The Water–Energy Nexus in the American West
Edited by Douglas S. Kenney and Robert Wilkinson
Chapter 16: The Water Bargain of Solar and Wind Energy
Martin J. Pasqualetti
Martin J. Pasqualetti1 16.1. INTRODUCTION In the western US, our dependency on water has spawned many familiar aphorisms. One commonly attributed to Mark Twain claims that 'whiskey is for drinking, but water is for fighting over.' Another is said to reflect the attitude of Los Angeles: 'Water runs uphill toward money.' There are many others, but they all stem from the same reality: There is not enough water to go around. Explorer John Wesley Powell recognized this truth in the last third of the nineteenth century when he warned that western water supplies would never be sufficient to accommodate the proliferation of ranches, farms, and settlements that various promoters and politicians were envisioning. But as prescient as he was, Powell could scarcely have anticipated during his time the burden that would be placed upon this precious and scare resource in our time. Powell certainly knew that local water supplies could be enhanced through pumping and canals. He could not have imagined, however, the vastly complex and expensive plumbing system that would be installed to convert millions of often arid acres into dazzling cities and some of the most productive agricultural land in the world. He would have been amazed at the proliferation of private swimming pools that today help make bearable the torrid Phoenix and Las Vegas summers. And he certainly would have had absolutely no inkling of the myriad power stations that would one day suck out water from every possible source in order to make the electricity to...

Traffic control signs. We see them every day.
But are we really seeing them?
I submit we are not. You are more than likely unaware of some pretty small print at the bottom of each sign (that is nigh on impossible to see while driving which makes it pretty damn unfair) that allows you to ignore the aforementioned traffic control sign.
What follows is a brief list that will clue you in to what those signs say if you took the time to stop your car, break out your readers, and take a gander.*
Don't say I've never taught you nothin'.
1. Unless you live on this street. There is a sign in Town that prohibits a turn from 1500 hours to 1600 hours on school days because "those pesky kids" speed through the neighborhood in order to get around slower traffic on the main road. Every. Single. Time I sit there, I invariably stop someone who has lived on that street for twenty years and has always been aware of the sign, but chooses to ignore it. You know, because they live there, the sign doesn't apply to them.
They are often surprised by the yellow piece of paper I hand them with a violation of CVC 21461(a) – Failure to Obey Traffic Control Sign. Weird.
2. Not valid if you're really careful. There's a sign in Town that prohibits a left turn out of a parking lot. It's posted clearly beneath a stop sign. It's hard to miss. Fortunately, it's cool to ignore it so long as you're "really careful" as was told to me in the recent past. The claim was "I thought it was okay, as long as I was really careful."
Again, gobsmackery was resplendent upon receiving a citation for, you guessed it, failing to obey a traffic control sign. (Also, I love misappropriating the term "gobsmacked".)
3. Only applies if you've lived here less than 5 years (also known as the Citizen Longevity Exemption). Oh! You've lived here for ten years?! Well, then…Huzzah! You qualify for the Citizen Longevity Exemption which allows you to ignore not only traffic control signs, but the general guidelines requiring out-of-owners to operate their vehicles in a safe manner. My apologies for disturbing your day.
4. Not applicable if you're late for [insert destination]. I think we can all agree that speed limit signs are pesky. While, in general, they serve a minor function of keeping speeds under an unreasonable speed (say, 74 MPH), they really shouldn't apply when you're late for your appointment. Why should your inability to be an effective time manager be negatively impacted by a traffic control sign that is obviously there to keep other people from fucking up your commute.
5. If you can blame someone else for your maneuver, you're clear to ignore posted sign. I was recently sitting near an elementary school that has some traffic flow issues. You know, like every school since the beginning of time has. There is a T-intersection and traffic backs up right at the stop sign. Ingenious and out-of-the-box thinkers take it upon themselves to pull around to the left of the stopped traffic to drive on the wrong side of the road.
Around a blind curve.
And then run the clearly marked stop sign. To be fair, if you're driving southbound in the northbound lane, there really isn't a requirement to stop there, right?
The common
excuse reason I get is, "Well, everyone was backed up, so I had to go around." Clearly, it is the fault of the other drivers. It's not like you've been picking your kid up at that school for six years and should be aware of the traffic conditions surrounding pick up and drop off.
*If you take satire seriously, you should re-evaluate your level of intelligence. What is compiled above is just a brief summation of the excuses I've heard when stopping someone for violating a clearly marked and posted traffic control sign.

I received this book for free from the Publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Company Town by Madeline Ashby
Published by Tor Books on May 17 2016
Genres: Adult, Science fiction
Pages: 285
Format: eARC
Source: Publisher
The nitty-gritty: A stellar science fiction mystery with awesome characters and some unexpected romance.
"I'll call you before you go to sleep," he said. "I can see it, when your heart slows down. That's how I know when to call. I keep your heart—the icon of your heart—in one corner of my vision. All the time."
Her stomach flipped over and tried to exit through her fingertips. Adrenaline jangled down her arms like music. Her mouth went dry and all she could taste was the burn of the drug in her throat.
"See, there? It skipped."
I've had Company Town on my radar for almost exactly two years—I did have to go back through my blog posts and check—since June 2014 when the book was being published by Angry Robot. I had featured it in a Waiting on Wednesday back then, and even though the book has since changed publishers, the cover has miraculously stayed the same. I remember wondering what had happened to it when it fell off the Angry Robot website, and so I was very excited to find it had a new publishing home. And wow, I'm so glad I read it! What a wonderful surprise this was, and you can bet I'm going to go back and check out Ashby's earlier books.
Company Town takes place in the city of New Arcadia in a not-too-distant future, where in the center of town, the remains of an old oil rig that blew up several years ago are surrounded now by five towers where the citizens of New Arcadia live and work. Go Jung-hwa, or Hwa for short, is a bodyguard for the United Sex Workers of Canada, where she watches out for the girls who work for Mistress Séverine. But the future of New Arcadia is uncertain, due to the imminent takeover of the rich and powerful Lynch family. Hwa isn't too keen on the Lynch family taking over the city, but when she's approached by a man named Daniel Síofra who works for them, she reluctantly agrees to take over the job of bodyguard for their fifteen-year-old heir, a precocious boy named Joel. Hwa pretends to be a student so she can attend high school classes with Joel, and on their off-hours she teaches him self-defense.
But after an attack at school, Hwa realizes that someone is after Joel, and when Hwa's friends from her former job start dying in horrible ways, she knows she's going to need all her resources—as well as Daniel's help—to figure out who is behind the murders. And just what is the Lynch family up to anyway? Hwa is determined to unravel all the mysteries, even if it kills her.
Madeline Ashby is one of those writers who gives the reader just enough information to let us put the pieces of the mystery together ourselves without hitting us over the head with lengthy explanations and info-dumps. I absolutely loved her understated writing style, which is both simple and elegant and fits perfectly with the story she's telling. The story started out a little slow for me, but it was only because I didn't understand the unfamiliar terms Ashby uses. It didn't take long, though, for this book to really grow on me, and before I knew it I was completely immersed in the world. Ashby has created a fascinating city full of futuristic architecture, including the five towers, each with its own style. In one of the towers, concentric rings of apartments circle each other in opposite directions, which gives the residents a continually changing set of neighbors. The fact that the old oil rig still stands in the center of all these towers, dilapidated and no longer in use, is a constant reminder of the accident that killed Hwa's brother.
In the world of New Arcadia, most people have artificial enhancements and surgeries that make them more attractive or resistant to illness, but Hwa is unique: she is "unedited" and pure, free of any of these enhancements. Because she's had to rely on her own skills, she's become a kick-ass woman who can definitely hold her own in a fight. Hwa's mother was so disappointed when she was born with Sturge-Weber disease that she refused to spend money on enhancements for Hwa. Therefore, Hwa has gone her entire life listening to her mother call her "ugly" (among other unflattering names), and she's come to believe it. Hwa dreads people seeing her "stain," and it isn't until she meets Daniel that she begins to realize she has more to offer than simply muscle.
Ashby's story has a strong murder mystery element to it, as a serial killer appears to be on the loose in New Arcadia, killing sex workers who are connected to Hwa. I loved the author's pacing as Hwa gradually gathers clues, which lead her to a startling discovery about the evil Lynch family.
But it was the characters that really made this story shine, particularly Hwa, Joel and Daniel. Joel was a delightful character, a young teenager who has the huge burden of being the future heir of the Lynch family. But that doesn't stop him from being a happy-go-lucky boy who's personality only gets better when Hwa comes into his life. I adored their friendship and their sarcastic banter. Hwa and Daniel truly care for each other (but not in a romantic way—she's too old for him!) and their relationship was simply delightful.
And Daniel—well, it was pretty clear almost from the beginning that there was a going to be a romance between Daniel and Hwa, but it was so subtly done that I have to say it's one of the best romances I've read in some time. Hwa can't believe that Daniel can actually see past her ugliness, and the raw moments between them when they both drop down their guards were extremely romantic.
The other character I have to mention is Hwa's mother, Sunny. At first she seems like a horrible mother. She still says terrible things to her daughter whenever she sees her, but there is a moment when she reveals a secret about herself to Hwa that was so poignant, that I completely changed my mind about her. It takes some mad writing skills to make that happen, and boy does Ashby have those skills!
The last couple of chapters are exactly what I wanted, lots of action and danger, and I found myself worrying about what would happen to Hwa, Joel and Daniel. I wasn't prepared for the ending, but I have to say it was immensely satisfying, and I finished the book with my heart racing and a smile on my face.
Big thanks to the publisher for supplying a review copy.

A Righteous Legal Loophole
Under Indiana Code section 35-42-2-1.3(b)(2), a person who knowingly or intentionally touches his current or former spouse (or baby momma, or similarly related person) in a rude, insolent or angry manner resulting in bodily injury, and does so in the physical presence of a child less than 16 years old, commits a Class D felony Domestic Battery.
On the other hand, under Indiana Code section 35-42-2-1(a)(2)(M), a person 18 or older who knowingly or intentionally touches his current or former spouse (or other family or household member) in a rude, insolent or angry manner resulting in bodily injury, and does so in the physical presence of a child less than 16 years old, also commits a Class D felony Battery. But it's not a Domestic Battery.
Believe it or not, there's a big difference. If you are charged with and plead to the latter plain vanilla Class D felony Battery, the plea agreement can provide, as it can for most Class D felonies, that the felony will be converted to a misdemeanor after satisfactory completion of probation. If you are charged with and plead to the former extra-special Class D felony Domestic Battery, it can't. The legislature at the behest of the Victimocracy has carved out an exception for Domestic Battery convictions, right alongside Child Porn convictions. You'll be a felon for the rest of your life.
Keep in mind that "bodily injury" is defined in the Indiana statutes to mean "any impairment of physical condition, including physical pain." A relatively minor fight could trigger a felony charge. And as Mark Bennett observed:
[M]any if not most domestic violence calls result from couples whose ordinary communications are passionate, rough, and even violent pushing each other's buttons until one goes just a little bit farther than either planned, and the cops get called. Not that there's any shortage of unprovoked meanness in the world, but most family violence prosecutions are simply escalated domestic disputes, resulting from general human goofiness.
. . .
Reasonable people can differ on the merits of the majority of family violence assault cases. Sometimes the complainant wants to retract the accusation not because she's a battered woman but because she was in the wrong in the first place. Every alleged assailant is not a ticking time bomb.
The loophole obscurely hidden in section 35-42-2-1(a)(2)(M) is a righteous one. A decent prosecutor who's got the goods on the defendant in a felony domestic battery case should be open to using it. You don't help the victim of a domestic battery or her family by saddling her husband and his employment prospects with a felony conviction for the rest of his life, assuming she's decided not to leave his sorry ass. You certainly don't help her or her family resolve the evident strains in their relationships by forcing her to testify at trial, under the pains and penalties of perjury, against her husband. But, just maybe, you do help the situation by throwing some cold water on it, by giving the defendant a chance to get his act together and get some counseling before you have him branded as a felon for the rest of his life.

The WCCVB is the first Destination Marketing Organization (DMO) in the United States to deploy this interactive, aggregated social experience for its visitors and community fans.
Branded in the social media realm as @VisitFranklin, the WCCVB recognized an opportunity to take social engagement to the next level with Lens.

"Back-end integrations help the WCCVB unify its user database and automation tools allow it to engage with more people. Lens bridges social and the WCCVB website while capturing key insights for personalized outreach."
Using Lens' optimized algorithm, the WCCVB can find the highest quality social photos from travelers, guests and fans of Franklin.

Visitors and locals alike use Lens to see what's happening (events, festivals, restaurants and more) and become a part of the community.
"Because visitors crave authentic content, Lens affords us the ability to talk less about ourselves and feature what is already being said about Franklin," stated Josh Collins, Digital Communications Manager for the Williamson County CVB. "Our primary goal on social media is to create inspiring content that invites visitors to experience the unique communities of Franklin and Williamson County. Lens is the perfect tool to help us accomplish that goal and we are already seeing an incredible amount of growth and engagement."

Lenan Poueh Menoua is a special social club which is culturally tied to Cameroon and, particularly, to the region of Dschang and the francophone north-west Bamileké peoples who also speak Yemba and, often, English. Like many African Diaspora social clubs that exist in and around the U.S. Capitol, Lenan has various philanthropic missions here and back in the "motherland," which in this case is Cameroon. Their projects have varying degrees of success but they are always ongoing; moreover, nobody's better at implementing philanthropic enterprises in central Africa than ex-patriots who maintain strong ties to the country of their birth. They're experts at seeing to it that the money (or effort or donated goods) goes where it's supposed to go.
Members of Lenan pay annual dues and attend a variety of social functions throughout the year. Besides the annual celebratory functions and monthly meetings, there are also special celebrations for newborns, christenings, graduations, etc., and the organization also hosts funerals for members' immediate family and helps pay for their funerary and travel expenses. However, these are all part of the normal social function of the meeting rather than related to special philanthropic and charitable activities; for that, Lenan has an annual fundraiser with live musical performances and dancing but they also take up special collections and they have sometimes accepted on-line donations over the internet via their website.
In short, if you want your donation to help disadvantaged students and other impoverished people in Cameroon, then you can feel good about supporting the philanthropic missions of Lenan Poueh Menoua. See their website or contact firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.

What would you do if you could not get medical help for your child? Is there anything that would make you feel more powerless? Until recently, the children in Kaihura, Uganda lived a 45 minute car ride from the nearest medical facility, yet it might as well have been 450 miles. Ninety-nine percent of the community has no transportation. Children die every day from curable illnesses and injuries because they do not have access to medical facilities.
In Spring of 2013, Embrace Uganda and our Ugandan partner, Bringing Hope to the Family, have completed the building of a Level III Medical Clinic in Kaihura! The Hope Again Medical Clinic serves not only the village of Kaihura but the entire district of Kyenjojo, a region with over 450,000 people and only two practicing physicians. Contrast that to America which averages one physician per 276 people and the discrepancy becomes very clear.
The clinic provides primary care services to the general population but also allow HIV AIDS care to be provided on-site. In addition, it makes a vaccination program possible and expand diagnostic capabilities for diseases such as malaria and TB. The clinic also provides maternity care for high risk deliveries under medical supervision as opposed to delivering in remote homes. We also hope to attract full-time physician staffing to this area which would be impossible without proper facilities.
Embrace Uganda has raised the $180,000 needed to build and completes the clinic. The community of Kaihura has also worked hard to make it a reality, carrying jugs of water weighing 50+ pounds 3/4 of a mile, mixing cement by hand, digging with hoes and shovels instead of backhoes, and measuring and leveling with string. It's a true partnership.
Yet the building is only part of what was needed. There is a continuing need for operational support --- medical supplies, staff funding, and maintenance, everything from patient beds to a full-time physician. Your giving now will help meet these continuing needs and expand the clinic's outreach to the surrounding villages as well as the quality and quantity of services it can provide. Your dollars will literally save lives.

Hebrew words go beyond the primary dictionary translation. Each Hebrew word conveys feeling, intent and emotion. Shalom is more then just simply peace; it is a complete peace. It is a feeling of contentment, completeness, wholeness, well being and harmony.
According to Strong's Concordance 7965 Shalom means completeness, wholeness, health, peace, welfare, safety soundness, tranquility, prosperity, perfectness, fullness, rest, harmony, the absence of agitation or discord.
In my Langenscheidt Pocket Hebrew Dictionary, which I LOVE, Shalom is "to be whole, uninjured, safe and sound, peaceful, friendly," and as a verb: "to complete, to restore, to give back, repay, requite, reward, perform, finish, to make or have peace, to submit, to be a friend."
In modern Hebrew the obviously related word Shelem means to pay for, and Shulam means to be fully paid.
In conclusion, when you impart the blessing: שלום on others when meeting, greeting, or in parting, you do much more than say "have a good day". May the shalom of G-d fill you, your household and your intent for the day. May you be free from conflict and stress, and may you be filled with contentment and gratitude for your place today.

In Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, identify some of the elements of the play and aspects of the characters that would have caused reactions from an Elizabethan audience.
- print Print
- list Cite
Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream is a well-loved comedy. It would have had a profound and positive effect on theater-goers of the Elizabethan era for several reasons.
The most important element is that of the supernatural.
...during the age of the living Shakespeare, the Renaissance...practically every type of written word deals with the supernatural.
Much like people who go to movies today to be scared to death, the Elizabethan audience would have been drawn to this play because of the presence of fairies and changelings. They believed in both. And while they would have been frightened of the evil witches in Macbeth, they would have been highly amused by the antics of the members of the "fairy kingdom." In their belief of such creatures, they all knew better (for example)—as Bottom seems to forget—than to walk in the forest after dark. For then one was at the mercy of the fairies, who were not seen as evil creatures (because of how Shakespeare presented them), but entertaining and mischievous. They would play with "mortals" simply to have fun. Puck talks a great deal about this when he is first introduced into the play.
When Bottom (an "actor") wanders in the forest, he becomes Puck's dupe—in Oberon's plan to torment his queen, Titania.
What hempen home-spuns have we swagg'ring here,(70)
So near the cradle of the fairy queen?
What, a play toward! I'll be an auditor;
An actor too perhaps, if I see cause.
Puck discovers men (practicing a play they hope to perform for the Duke's wedding) near the place where Titania sleeps, and decides use Bottom in his plan. Bottom leaves the "stage," and returns with the head of a donkey; he frightens off his fellows (who also believe in fairies); he is there when Titania awakes under a magic spell—she falls in love with the first thing she sees...Bottom, head and all.
The lovers in the story (around which the tale revolves) are also affected by this magic potion when Puck gets confused. In an attempt to make Demetrius fall in love with Helena, who adores him, Puck mistakenly uses his magic on Lysander, so he no longer loves Hermia, but Helena.
You do advance your cunning more and more.
When truth kills truth, O devilish-holy fray!(130)
These vows are Hermia's. Will you give her o'er?
I had no judgment when to her I swore.(135)
Helena doubts his sincerity, but Lysander says he was crazy to love Hermia. When Demetrius wakes, also now in love with Helena, Helena has had enough, thinking they are making fun of her.
O Helen, goddess, nymph, perfect,
To what, my love, shall I compare thine eyne? (140)
O spite! O hell! I see you all are bent
To set against me for your merriment.
If you were civil and knew courtesy,
You would not do me thus much injury. (150)
Now both men love Hermia—where before, neither did. The confusion creates a wealth of hilarity, often delivered with a great deal of "slapstick"—or physical comedy—as well.
Elizabethans believed that if the fairy world was out of balance, it would affect their world—the seaons, for instance. So Titania and Oberon must make up for the humans.
This play is ultimately about love: Hermia's love for Lysander (and his for her), Helena's love for Demetrius (which is eventually returned), the Duke's love for Hippolyta, and the love of Titania and Oberon. It is also about a play within a play.
The audience would have loved the humor, the supernatural, and the comic characters.

EGPI/Firecreek Completes $2M Project Financing
EGPI Firecreek, Inc. has received a $2,000,000 7-year interest only debenture. The proceeds from this financing are available to the Company for use in pursuing its current plans to increase revenue and cash flows for 2007 by negotiating the acquisition of several potential US based oil and gas properties that have proven reserves and are capable of producing revenue streams.
Company is now currently reviewing several potential leases, interests and opportunities at this time, which are located throughout the U.S. and its surrounding regions. Once the Company pinpoints an acquisition target, the project will still be subject to many things, including a thorough due diligence process, before any transaction can be finalized.
Dennis Alexander, Chairman and CFO, stated, "This interest only debenture financing is the first of many steps the Company has taken in order to help ensure our abilities to find and acquire undervalued Oil and Gas lease properties that have proved reserves and to bring additional revenue streams into the Company. Additionally, we feel confident that this financing will give us the ability to take a more aggressive posture in completing projects which we have already identified."
Ukraine Project Developments
As previously announced on March 13, 2007, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Star Energy Corporation regarding certain projects in the Ukraine. The transaction reported is subject to certain conditions and the execution of a definitive agreement which is subject to various approvals.
The Company reports that good progress has been made to date since last reporting. The Company extended additional time to Star Energy in order to assist in concluding the implementation of securing the oil and gas assets of the reported projects. Further time will assist the delivery of Ryder Scott third party engineering reports to Star Energy as well as other elements and ongoing detail requirements involved in the transaction. The Company expects to complete a Definitive Agreement with Star by the third quarter of this year.
EGPI/Firecreek Inc. through its Firecreek unit is focused on oil production with an emphasis on acquiring existing oil fields with proven reserves, the rehabilitation of potentially high throughput oilfields, resource properties and inventories on an international basis. Other companies in the oil sector include Pantina Oil and Gas Inc. (POG), Frontier Oil Inc. (FTO) and Cabot Oil & Gas Inc. (COG).

A living room can have a sofa from the 1940's, a chair and ottoman from the 1960's and end tables from the 1970's. All of these disjointed looks can be pulled together with fabric and color choices. Choose accent pillows in prints you love, and replicate the colors throughout the room. One of the most overlooked areas that easily brings a look together is in your choice of lampshades. There are so many beautifully colored and patterned lampshades from which to choose and that will add unity to your living room. Create even more continuity by repeating the dominant colors in the fabrics with your tabletop pieces, candles, art work and rug. Keeping to a maximum of three to four colors will unify the diverse decades as well. Mixing and matching eclectic pieces is what gives your home a personal feel and reveals your family's distinctive personality. Enjoy the diversity and have fun in knowing your home is as unique as you! We look forward to helping you with any projects you may have!

Creating With Station 8: Say "I Do" to Spring!
Every year here at the shop we like to throw a little party in honor of spring. We call it our "Spring Open House"; we do this because we know everyone (including 8 Girls) is tired of looking out the window and seeing dingy snow. Gardeners are itching to get their fingers in the dirt, runners are looking forward to running without slipping on ice, and here at Station 8 we are bringing in new spring merchandise while we're still shoveling snow. This year many of our new spring goodies were purchased with wedding season and other celebrations in mind, because we know what you need to make your celebration fabulous!
Having just planned my own wedding in November, I know how overwhelming it can be! I remember thinking: I just want simple. I believe in living simply, living in the moment, and I wanted to enjoy the journey, most brides do. It was very simple and I decided to focus more on the ceremony and less on the surroundings. Reflecting back on my experience has reminded me that one of our focuses for the shop this year is "Edit your look". Brides are attempting simplicity through using "Vintage" items of significance
Adding elements of antique heirlooms, salvaged columns, or vintage birdcages add a perfectly imperfectness to your look, and that is what vintage is all about. Using vintage linens, upcycled mason jars, or vintage silver, are all creative ways to use vintage items to keep your wedding simple. Not only will these items make your wedding dazzling, but will also make beautiful accent pieces for your home for years to come!
Here at Station 8 we have helped brides create their perfect day in serval ways:
Visual inspiration: We are experts in putting together "looks" here at Station 8. The shop is a treasure trove of ideas, and vintage inspiration. Come in and be inspired! We would love to help you get your "look" together. We can help you find the perfect elements to keep your day simply beautiful!
And for those of you who are not planning a wedding or other special occasion, we have a very unique selection of vintage and new gifts for the many events you will be attending!
So whether you're a bride, or an attendee of a special occasion, Station 8 is here to help!
You won't want to miss our "Spring Open House" Saturday, April 23rd, 9-5 where we will be launching our curated , edited spring looks.
Happy Spring!

Cre8ing With Station 8: 8 Ways To Stay Cozy This Winter
- At December 07, 2015

Winter is here! Brisk temperatures, lightly falling snow, and a picturesque white landscape, tis the season! I love all the layers of winter. Layers of wool sweaters, wool blankets, hats, gloves, and scarves galore! My closet is full of them! So take it from someone who is always cold; here are my 8 ways to stay cozy this December!
Sweaters: Vintage wool ones are my favorites, but any good cable knit, or merino wool will do! I like to layer them under vintage blazers.
Mittens/gloves: Every girl knows you need multiple pairs for different outfits/conditions. The latest trend in these are texting gloves, fingerless so you can keep your hands warm and still use your phone. Every stocking is going to need a pair of these this Christmas!
Hats: Another stylish way to keep yourself warm. Hats have become very popular for women in recent years. My favorites are newsies, and you can get these short billed hats in warm woven's, as well as canvas summer styles, so they're not only fashionable, but also keep you toasty warm.
Scarves: Not only do they keep you warm they are so "in" right now we can't keep them in-stock! Scarves are truly considered a fashion must have in the cold weather, and we can show you multiple ways to tie them!
Vests/Jackets: From Down-filled to wool pea coats, you can't live in Montana without having a closet full of different weights of jackets. Layer your vintage vest over your jacket to be both on trend and snuggly!
Mugs: A winter day is not complete without a nice hot beverage! Handmade pottery, or I'll often see one of the shop girls walking through the shop with a vintage mug in hand, with her favorite, tea, coffee, or in my case hot cocoa, in it! A selection of mugs is a winter must have, and they also make great gifts.
A good book: Being a Montana girl (and a book hoarder) there's nothing I like better on a blustery winter evening than cuddling up on the sofa in front of the fireplace with a good book. I tend to get sentimental in the winter and read, or re-read the classics. If you're in need of a little sunshine to brighten a dreary winter day, we have amazing Glacier National Park books written by local authors such as George Ostrom, and Blake Passmore that are full of beautiful photography of the park, and it's never too soon to start planning summer hiking excursions!
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!

Cre8ing With Station 8: The Inspiring Arts and Crafts Era
- At October 14, 2015
- By Rachel Kelly

I love to stroll thru the historic housing districts of every town/city I visit just to see all the beautiful homes. All the different architectural styles that can be represented in one old neighborhood amaze me! The history and creativity of the designs inspire me. Inspiration I use in creating some of the ideas behind the displays in the shop! They make me think about what went into the planning, design decisions, and functionality of the choices they made based on their lifestyle during that time period. In all the different styles throughout the years I have yet to find one that inspires me as much as the Arts and Crafts style. A beautiful Bungalow makes me swoon! It is one of my goals in life to own one of these beauties. I am so inspired by this design, and its effect on the décor of that time, that I would like to share with you all the history of the Arts and Crafts movement (and one special house in particular).
The Arts and Craft movement began in England in the 1860's. William Morris, John Ruskin and Philip Webb are credited with its conception. The idea was born out of disgust with the industrial revolution and mass production. The theory was designed to emphasize craftsmanship, and handiwork, which also made it more expensive.
It arrived here in America in the late 1890's, and continued to be popular through the 1930's. The first Arts and Crafts exhibition happened in Boston in April of 1897, it showcased the work of 160 craftsmen (half of which were women), and featured over 1000 objects. From there the Society of Arts and Crafts was born in June of that same year. This movement coincided with the decline of the Victorian "over decorated" era, and focused on simpler lines and functional pieces. It promoted hand crafted items, and homes that were made out of local wood, glass, stone, and metal work.
It also coincided with the growth of the American middle class, and the switch from homes that were designed for a society that housed servants, to the era where women did their own cooking, cleaning, and child care. The designs of the Craftsman house brought the kitchens into the heart of the home, and made changes such as doing away with the butler's pantry in exchange for dining areas with built-in cabinetry, and the birth of the breakfast nook. Other characteristics of these homes are; dark wood wainscoting, and moldings, built-in cabinets, or shelving, open floor plans, exposed roof brackets, stone exterior chimneys, stone porch supports, porches with tapered, or square column's, numerous windows (some with stained or leaded glass), and beamed ceilings.
Gustav Stickley is responsible for coining the phrase "Craftsman". His simply designed furniture inspired the movement in America in the early 20th century, and he published the first edition of Craftsman Magazine in 1901. Not only did he design furniture, but also homes. He designed plans for both that could be purchased and encouraged the everyday person to make their own!
Unlike the English, Americans embraced industrialization, and saw the machine as a tool to help them improve life. Companies like Sears and Robuck produced furniture modeled after Gustav Stickley's, designs. And Bungalow and foursquare kit homes could be purchased making the Bungalow a popular, and affordable house for the middle class.
I happen to have a very good example of one of these lovely homes in Colette's house! Built in 1910, and then moved, and lovingly restored by Colette and her husband, this house is a beautiful representation of this era, and I am proud to share some photos of its craftsman qualities!
I hope you enjoyed this look at the Arts and Crafts era . As always you can find many items from this era at the shop! Hope to see you soon!

Cre8ting With Station 8: A Brief History of The Hudson's Bay Blanket
I love the internet, and not only for Pinterest… but also because anytime I want a little information on something interesting that has come into the shop it's just a click away. Part of the intrigue of our business is that so many of the pieces we carry have a past life. Whether it's a very fine antique piece, or something that has been repurposed, I'm always intrigued by the history of the things you can find in our shop. For example I overheard a conversation awhile back about a Hudson's Bay blanket we currently have on display so I decided to look into it, and this is what I found…A very brief history of the Hudson's Bay blanket.
The Hudson's Bay Company was founded on May 2nd 1670. The original full name of the company is The Governor and Company of Adventurers of England trading into Hudson's Bay. It played an impressive role in the urban development of western Canada, having fur trading posts from Newfoundland to Vancouver Island, and from St. Lawrence to the Arctic. The company itself has a long and varied history, not only in the fur trading industry, but it also has a history in the real estate business, and the oil business.
The Hudson's Bay point blanket was first introduced into the fur trade in 1870. The concept of the points blanket was invented by the French in the middle of the 18th century. Each point is indicated by an indigo stripe of 4-5.5 inches long woven into the side of the blanket, with half points being half as long. It is used to identify the size of the finished blanket, not the amount of furs to be traded for it as is commonly believed. The company started out with 500 pairs of blankets, 100 of each size starting at 1 point and graduating up by half points with the largest being 3 points. A pair of one point blankets measured at 2 feet, 8 inches wide by 8 feet long, and quickly became a very popular item among the native tribes.
The most common colors are the white blanket with the stripes of green, red, yellow, and indigo (what most people think of when they think of Hudson's Bay). They were also made in solid colors of indigo, scarlet, green and light blue. In 1929 they made a line of pastel tones, with darker tone-on-tone bars. In the 1930's they added imperial tones to meet the needs of modern interior design schemes. All the wool for these blankets is a blend of varieties from England and New Zealand. They are designed to be warm, soft, and water-resistant.
These blankets are a time-honored tradition of the oldest company in North America, and are still produced today. I'm so excited to have an authentic piece of this company's history in our store! Come in and take a look.

8 Ways To Use A Vintage Suitcase
One of my very favorite things to buy for the shop is vintage suitcases! I love the versatility, look, and function of these pieces. So here are my top 8 ideas for how to use vintage suitcases!
2. A picnic basket: Fill it with a picnic blanket/table cloth, glasses, plates and cutlery and you're ready for a picnic any time! Throw in a bottle of wine, and it makes a great wedding gift!
3. Under the bed storage: About a year ago I threw out all of my flat rubber maid tubs and replaced them with vintage suitcases. I love the way they look peeking out from under my bed. They can be used to store your out of season clothing, craft supplies, or your kid's school projects you can't part with.
4. Bed side/end table: Add legs to your favorite vintage suitcase, or stack two or three of them to make an inexpensive bed side or end table. Still great for storage, and just the right size for a lamp, a landing spot for the book you're reading, or the t.v. remote.
5. Very in vogue shelf for your wall: One of the most creative things we have done at the shop with a suitcase is making a shelf out of it! Attach a set of brackets to your wall and then drill thru the bottom of the suitcase to attach securely to the brackets. I love this unique way to display your goodies!
6. Dress up case: What a fun way to store your little princesses dresses, or your little guys super hero costumes. Slides easily under their bed, and (my favorite) helps teach children about repurposing at a young age.
7. Pet bed: Just open it up and add a favorite pet blanket or cut a piece of foam to fit and you have the perfect, stylish spot for your pet to nap.
8. Traveling office: A smaller suitcase is the perfect size to carry your laptop and anything else you might need to take your office on the road. Looks good and adds a solid layer of protection for all of today's technology must haves.

Cre8ing With Station 8: Unlikely Friends
- At July 13, 2015
- By Rachel Kelly
- In Cre8ive Highlights
- 0
Friendships can start in many different ways. For example they can start as children and last your whole life. They can start over a common interest (junking for example), or they can start with a girl looking for a different job!
Who doesn't' love a new vintage shop in their town? So despite the fact that I was in the middle of building a house, and had all of my belongings in storage I couldn't resist the pull of a new shop to browse through; not only that, parked in the parking lot was my coveted car (1959 corvette). I absolutely had to see what was going on, and meet the person who owned "my" car.
I remember walking into the shop and standing in awe of the beautiful display that greeted me. While standing there, possibly drooling, I was warmly welcomed by a smiling Colette. I quickly gathered my wit's about me, and proceeded to beg for a job. She kindly pointed to a chalkboard that stated she was hiring part time sales people, and we promptly set up an interview! Little did I know that I had just met, not only my new boss, but someone who would become a very dear friend to me. When I told her I wanted to be her when I grew up, and she replied "I'll teach you everything you need to know" I knew I had found the place I was supposed to be!
We, as they say, hit it off immediately! Within the first couple of months we embarked on our first buying trip! Talk about brave…to head off on an overnight excursion with someone you have only known for a little over a month! She could have been a crazy driver and I could have literally been putting my life in her hands; I could have been a party animal who insisted on partying in the hotel bar at night, we were taking a chance on each other, and it turned out marvelously!
On that first trip we found out that we had more in common than we originally thought , Colette is a fantastic driver, and I'm definitely not a party animal, we can both shop until we drop, and are the only other person we know who can keep up with the other one. More importantly we discovered that we had the same vision for the shop. We have the same work ethic, share the same ideals, have the same level of taste, and the same aesthetics. All of this allows us to have a blast doing what we do because it makes working together so easy! For one of us to describe a display that we have in our mind, and the other one to be able to see it in their mind the way we do is truly a gift. On any given day we're able to communicate using only hand gestures, we always joke around about having the same brain, and we're not entirely sure we're not psychically connected! We've known from the beginning how rare and special it is that we can be both employer/employee, and very good friends.
I have been so fortunate for the past 6 years to, not only to be in a business that I am passionate about, but blessed to work for someone who I truly enjoy learning from. Because at the end of the day we all know it's not about the "stuff" in our lives, but the people.

Cre8ing with Station 8: A Positive Influence

I strive to be a woman of influence, and perhaps the reason why is due to the many women who have been a positive influence to me. Many times I reflect back to what I have learned through the years and how fortunate I have been throughout my years in school and in my career as well.
I was fortunate to know what I wanted to do at an early age, and my passion for business, fashion and merchandising called to me very early on. I recall so many wonderful teachers that made a good impression on me from elementary school on through high school, but it was at the University of Montana that I really connected with the most amazing professors. One in particular truly resonated with me; she was demanding, strict, detailed, compassionate and understanding! She knew all of the current fashion trends, was an expert seamstress, made all of her chic clothes, and was passionate about teaching her all-girl class the joys of making one's own wardrobe, selecting fabrics and finding one's style.
She was encouraging and supportive. She allowed me to dream my dreams of making a living in the fashion industry and taught me so many life lessons. I recall working in the sewing lab late on evening ripping out a seam yet again because it wasn't perfect and my instructor walked in, looked at my work and told me to go home – it was good enough! I still use this example to this day with my employees and share with them that if they have done their best and put in the effort, then that is all that I can ask and it is good enough for me! I hope that I am passing on her many examples she set for me.
Part of my joy in working with fabrics and fine materials came from my textile class taught by this same professor. I learned how to tell the fiber content just by touching a fabric and I still experience the simple pleasure in guessing the blend of any fabric I touch, no matter what it is!
I love fine fabrics and natural blends and enjoy working with fabrics in my shop: window treatments, pillows, slipcovers, and I especially love the vintage fabrics! Whenever I am out shopping I am drawn to fabrics and inevitably go through the racks of clothing, just feeling the fabric. I especially enjoy looking through antique shops in my travels and always head to the vintage linens first, as they just draw me in.
Just recently, while in Tuscon, I discovered a quaint shop with racks and racks filled with antique tablecloths that made me swoon, so of course my shop is filled with antique linens, blankets and other textiles that I simply can't resist!
I am so very grateful to all those who had such a positive impact on my life and hope that I inspire others to be their best!
All the best,
Colette Gross, Owner

Wales and Real Madrid star Gareth Bale might be going bald as new pictures emerge that the former Tottenham Hotspur winger's hair appears to be thinning.
For many fashion-conscious footballers, appearance is everything, and a fresh haircut or new style is just as important to them as the boots on their feet or the shirt on their chest.
PAY ATTENTION: Get the latest sports news on Naij Sports App
Gareth Bale's thinning hair was first spotted by eagle-eyed observers back in his first season with Real Madrid.
Despite shining for Wales in their run to the Euro 2016 semi-final his lack of hair was again the talking point.

Anyone out there planning a real vacation this year? I am in desperate need of R & R by the waterfront.
Share your plans and let me live vicariously through you.
We are coming in to winter, but I can change the weather by going North until the temperature is just right for me.
It gets warmer the further North you travel in Australia, so one of the hundreds of Beaches North of Brisbane would be ideal.
With gas prices being what they are how far are you planning on traveling? Also, by what means of transportation? Bus or Boat? Plane, Train or Automobile????? How much money do you have to spend? (not intersted in a personal manner, mind you)
You live near some Great Lakes-that's water--why not rent a cottage? OR, travel to the east coast and rent a couple of days of hotel in Virginia Beach or the Outer Banks.
Or, move on up to the Minnesota area and check out the water in that neck of the woods.
Or, fly to Florida and stay on the beach. Lots to choose from, isn't there.
Anna Maria Island for a week! 7 bedrooms, a private pool, a hot tub, and a big boat for the entire week. Woo hoo!!!
2 daughters, 6 grandkids, and my best pal and her family are joining hubby and me. Can't wait to do some saltwater fishing and snorkeling in that clear water!
How much is that gem costing? and where is it? Sounds mucho expensivo.
That sounds amazing! Some quality time away with the family with the luxuries you have explained........one word - WOW!
$3,150 for the week, plus the cost of the boat. But you have to realize that the price is split among four families. The prices there are higher in the winter because of the "snow birds," so summer is off-season for them.
Anna Maria Island is just south of Tampa. It has snow-white beaches and crystal clear water. Super laid back and "old Florida." I have some pictures of it on a hub or two.
Flying home to family with my kids!! Mountains, hikes, canoeing, kayaking, camping, shopping, walking, go carts, paint ball and more!!! Gonna love it this year!

A court in Sacramento today denied the city of Irvine's temporary restraining order request that would prevent the state of California from seizing Orange County Great Park funds. It's part of the city's lawsuit against the state Department of Finance, which has ruled the Great Park is not entitled to $1.4 billion in property tax revenue due to the state's elimination of redevelopment agencies.
The California Supreme Court has already upheld the state Legislature's redevelopment agency elimination law, which the Department of Finance claims its decision is based on, not the merits of the controversial Great Park project. The funds Irvine is tried to protect with the restraining order are tax revenues held by the county's Auditor-Controller for the period of July-December 2012. The city expected to be paid the $1.4 billion over decades.
The Great Park is an Orange County voter-approved alternative to the international airport county leaders, businessmen and labor unions wanted built over the decommissioned El Toro Marine Corps Air Station. After helping lead the effort to kill the proposed airport, Irvine won the county's blessing to annex the land and develop a 1,300-acre park that would be ringed by residential and commercial development.
Land purchases by developer Lennar Corp., development fees from individual new homes and businesses and government funding will combine to make the Great Park a financial win for taxpayers, promises the project's board, which is composed of the entire Irvine City Council and various dignitaries. The City Council must second all votes by the park board.
Despite award-winning designs for the park--which is to include amphitheaters, nature preserves, farms, athletic facilities, other amenities and a footprint bigger than Golden Gate Park--there has been little to show for other than a balloon ride, temporary grassy areas and old hangers converted into entertainment venues. Plenty of parking!

City Councilman Jeff Lalloway campaigned calling for greater oversight of the project, which has failed the generate the levels of government and--thanks to the housing crash--developer funding promised by Larry Agran, the former mayor-turned-councilman/Great Park grand poohbah and cronies of his grand vision.
Lallorway's gone on record saying the money shortfalls should translate into a vastly scaled-back park, but council colleague Beth Krom reportedly tells the Orange County Register today, ""We are not willing to lower our standard of what we want. . . . "We have succeeded before, and we will succeed again."
If only we could see it.
