The Kenai Peninsula Borough School District would like to send out a special thank you to the Homer Electric Association. Throughout the 2002-03 school year, our peninsula communities experienced several storms resulting in power outages. In each of these cases, HEA moved quickly to ensure that our school buildings' power was back up and running. By doing so, our schools were able to stay on schedule and provide a warm and safe place for our students. In several cases, our peninsula schools were turned into Red Cross shelters, which also served the needs of our community members at large.
During the Region III basketball tournament this past winter in Homer, we once again had a main storm, which resulted in power outages throughout the peninsula. HEA contacted the school district requesting information to ensure that Homer High School had electrical power to provide heat and lighting not only to people attending the tournament, but for all residents in the area needing shelter. Homer High School was able to continue to put on a first-class tournament and meet the needs of our visiting guests, which included friends from Kodiak and the Matanuska-Susitna Borough and our neighbors.
Thanks again HEA for all you do for all of us on the Kenai Peninsula.

What is "Birkie® Skiers for Cures"?
Join the Birkie Skiers for Cures program as we partner to raise awareness and funds for organizations that support health issues affecting many in the skiing community. For the past four years, 2009 through 2012, Birkie Skiers for Cures partnered with the Multiple Sclerosis Society and raised more than $300,000. From 2012 – 2015 our three year partnership with JDRF, the leading global organization focused on type 1 diabetes research, raised $173,000.
Our current three-year commitment (2015-2018) is to ALSA, the Wisconsin Chapter of the ALS Association.
The American Birkebeiner® Ski Foundation (ABSF) is proud to partner with ALS Association – Wisconsin Chapter, on a 3-year Skiers For Cures program. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a motor neuron disease, first identified in 1869 by the noted French neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot. Although the cause of ALS is not completely understood, recent years have brought a wealth of new scientific understanding about the physiology of this disease, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. Lou Gehrig, first brought national and international attention to the disease back in 1939 when he abruptly retired from baseball after being diagnosed with ALS.
"We are very excited to join the fight against ALS through our 'Skiers for Cures' program", says Ben Popp, Executive Director of the American Birkebeiner® Ski Foundation. "I hope our partnership will bring resources and visibility to their ongoing efforts to support those with ALS and find a cure for this terrible disease."
'Skiers for Cures' is a charitable partnership which works to raise awareness and funding, to help find a cure for health issues affecting many in the skiing community. In the case of ALS, over 400 Wisconsin patients are battling the disease. With a new diagnosis made every 90 minutes, that is more than 5600 individuals every year afflicted by this terminal disease.
"While we've achieved a much greater understanding of the disease, the sad reality is that the cure still remains elusive. But every day and every research dollar raised brings us a step closer to unlocking a cure." says Melanie Roach-Bekos, Executive Director of ALS Association – Wisconsin Chapter. "We're still working on unlocking the ALS mystery. It's heartening to know that more significant advances have been made in the past decade – especially with the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge – than the nearly century and a half since Charcot identified the disease. This gives us hope and encourages us to step up our efforts to find a cure. The time is now."
"I'm stoked about the Birkie adding ALSA of WI as their new charitable partner!" says John Jaeckel, Hayward resident and 17-time Birkie skier, diagnosed with ALS in 2009. "I know too well the weight of being diagnosed with a disease that is untreatable and incurable. I believe that ALS is NOT incurable but just underfunded! This new partnership will help fund research that will discover new treatments and eventually a cure!" John & his wife, Deanna, worked tirelessly with ABSF Executive Director Ben Popp in order to bring ALS to the forefront of the Skiers for Cures partnerships. "It makes me very proud to have been part of this process." says Jaeckel.
Through the 'Skiers for Cures' program ABSF & ALSA of WI hope to raise further awareness and much needed funding. Since its inception, the 'Skiers for Cures' program has helped raise over one million dollars towards research and helped raise awareness for the following non-profit programs: Susan G. Koman Foundation (Breast Cancer Research), the Multiple-Sclerosis Society and most recently JDRF (Junior Diabetes Research Foundation).
Learn more about ALS Association – Wisconsin Chapter at www.alsawi.org. Look for future communications in our bi-monthly @Birch Scroll ezine, and on Facebook about the Birkie® Skiers for Cures partnership with ALS and how you can get involved.
Skiers, Friends, Familes, Spectators:
You're invited to ski the 2018 Prince, Korte or Birkie events as a member of Team ALS. Please call the ALS Association of WI directly for information and registration at: (414)831-3993.
We're proudly entering our third year of a 3-year partnership with the ALS Association Wisconsin Chapter. ALS, or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, is a brutal disease with no known cause, no effective treatment and no cure. It's fatal in 100% of all cases. And it doesn't just ravage its victims, it devastates families. Both emotionally and financially.
The ALS Wisconsin Chapter's mission is to create a world without ALS by raising money for research. They're also dedicated to providing support and assistance to patients and their families throughout Wisconsin.
The Birkebeiner and ALS have a mutual connection through longtime Hayward resident John Jaeckel, who completed the Birkie 17 times before being diagnosed with ALS. He was instrumental in helping create the partnership between Skiers for Cures and the ALS Wisconsin Chapter.
While John can no longer ski the event he loves, he's determined to raise awareness for ALS and to fight the disease with the same relentless spirit in which he tackled the Birkie course.

In these recessionary times, at least Scottish Rugby has been doing its bit to buck belt-tightening trends.
Unquestionably, it has been a vintage year for the governing body's official milliners as they struggle to keep pace with the new caps that have to be manufactured and supplied to those who have won Test honours under head coach Andy Robinson during the international season just ended.
A total of 46 – yes, 46 – players have represented Scotland over the course of a 14-match campaign in season 2011-12 which reached journey's end on Saturday in Samoa and which you could reasonably be excused for forgetting began last August with a 10-6 victory against Ireland in a World Cup warm-up Test at Murrayfield.
Such numbers are surely unprecedented although what has to be taken into account is the global tournament which took place last Autumn and where, if precedent had been followed, Scotland would have played at least one more match before taking their leave.
Alas, history was made by failing to reach the quarter- finals and the Six Nations whitewash that followed added to the doom and gloom.
All of which makes the three winning performances on this month's tour of Australia, Fiji and Samoa even more uplifting – especially when it is remembered that a dark shadow is looming with the world champion All Blacks next up at Murrayfield on Sunday, November 11.
But what team will coach Robinson choose to put out?
The total of 46 capped players does not even include Alex Grove, who toured but hasn't appeared in an international since 2010. Also waiting in the wings ready to make comebacks are the likes of Kelly Brown, Dave Denton, Nikki Walker, Rory Lamont, Rory Lawson, Lee Jones, Allan Jacobsen, Ben Cairns, and Jim Hamilton each of whom missed the Australasian sojourn either through injury, resting or suspension.
Additionally, all the new caps in the past season – Denton, Jones, Tim Visser, Stuart Hogg, Ed Kalman, Matt Scott, Jon Welsh, Tom Ryder, Rob Harley, Ryan Grant, Duncan Weir, Tom Brown, and Jack Cuthbert – will be particularly desperate to add to their laurels. And don't forget the new breed massing on the horizon.
These as yet uncapped rookies include Stuart McInally and Alex Dunbar, flown out to the tour as cover without being required to play, along with the likes of Sale's Fraser McKenzie and Glasgow hooker Pat McArthur, who is particularly highly-rated by former Lions captain Colin Deans while, further down the track, Jamie Farndale has just returned from the World Under-20 championships as the tournament's top try scorer with six.
So, the future suddenly looks a lot brighter as Scotland fly in to Edinburgh today with a world ranking of ninth compared to the 12th spot they occupied at the start of the month.
Still on the subject of bucking trends, the All Blacks are pulling out all the stops to ensure they do not go the same way as World Cup-winning predecessors England (2003) and South Africa (2007).
After their triumph, England promptly responded by losing nine of their next 14 games while South Africa's encore amounted to losing four of their subsequent ten outings.
Having followed up with a 3-0 whitewash of Ireland, the All Blacks will undertake another eight games to Scotland's none before reaching Murrayfield. These include home and away clashes with Argentina as the traditional Tri-Nations series is expanded to four while, on their way to Europe, skipper Richie McCaw's team will tackle Australia in Brisbane as a "warm-up".
Such a run creates the possibility of New Zealand looking for an 18th consecutive victory in Edinburgh and, on the evidence of the matches against Ireland, they are well down the route of re-shaping their line-up.
Among those who have just cut teeth at international level and could be in line for a first tour are winger Julian Savea, the world junior player of the year in 2011 who marked his senior debut with a hat-trick of tries in a 42-10 rout of Ireland.
Aaron Smith, Brodie Retallick, Luke Romano, Sam Cane, Beauden Barrett and Aaron Cruden are other newcomers determined to be on the plane and who have helped the most demanding of rugby fans get over the retiral of Mils Muliaina, Jerome Kano and Brad Thorne while the injured Corey Jane and Richard Kahui were hardly missed.
As Scotland found when going down 49-3 against the All Blacks on their previous visit the task of inflicting a first-ever defeat in the fixture does not get easier.
But at least they will go in with some pride restored and for the first time in a long, long while Scottish rugby selection might be more a matter of who to leave out rather than who to put into the team . . .

By all rights Scotch eggs should be a lot more popular than they are. Hard boiled eggs, yolks just barely firm, are wrapped in sausage meat then breaded and fried. What could be bad?
I suppose it's the frying part that holds most people back. But why professional kitchens don't whip up Scotch eggs along with the megatons of French fries and chicken fingers they pump out is a question worth asking.
Traditionalists say Scotch eggs are best enjoyed at room temperature with just some pickles and mustard although there awfully good while still hot. The eggs shown in the serving carton were enjoyed at London's Bridge Market. The crisp fried egg balls, orange yolks still a bit drippy, were the inspiration for this SpecD rendition.
Our version's arugula salad is dressed with a mustard vinaigrette which adds a lightness to the proceedings. Panko bread crumbs provide a delicious, crisp crunch.
Some things to keep in mind:
– The sausage meat is easier to work with at room temperature.
– Lightly flour your hands when rolling the balls.
– Fry on medium heat, 300º, so the exterior doesn't brown to quickly for the meat to be cooked through.
– Hard boil the eggs just until done 4-5 minutes, so the yolks are still a bit runny. Tastes better that way.
Recipe makes 6 eggs
1 lb. sweet Italian sausage
1 scallion, finely minced
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
salt and pepper
2 eggs (raw)
6 hard boiled eggs
2 cups panko bread crumbs
1 cup flour
1. Place six eggs in a sauce pan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 4 minutes. Run under cold water to stop cooking. Let cool completely, then peel.
2. Squeeze the sausage meat out of the casings into a mixing bowl. Finely chop the scallion and add it. Add the teaspoon of mustard. Add a pinch of salt and a good grind of black pepper. Add the grated nutmeg. Stir to mix well.
3. Set up your work station: In a small bowl whisk 2 eggs well. Put 1 cup of flour into a shallow bowl. Put 2 cups panko into another bowl.
4. Lightly flour your hands. Using 1/6th of the sausage, pat out the meat into a flat oval shape. Put a peeled hard boiled egg on the sausage, then fold the meat up and around it. Carefully mold the meat around the egg until it's evenly covered all around.
5. Roll the egg in the flour, shake off excess. Roll in the whisked egg, then roll in the panko. Roll it in the egg a second time, then give it another coat of panko. Put on a sheet of waxed paper as you do it all again with the 5 other hard boiled eggs.
6. Put 3″ of cooking oil into a pot. Heat to 300º. Use a thermometer or when it gets hot, drop in a piece of bread. It should sizzle right off.
7. Fry the eggs 2 or three at time, depending on the size of the pot you are using it. Don't crowd them or the temperature of the oil will lower too quickly to cook properly. Turn the eggs every minute or two so that they brown evenly all over. Cook for four minutes.
8. Remove the eggs from the oil and let drain on paper towels. They should sound a little hollow when you tap them. That means the shell is crisp and the meat is cooked through.
Let the Scotch Eggs cool a bit while to you make a nest of green salad:
4 cups baby arugula
1/4 c. olive oil
2 T. white wine vinegar
1 T. Dijon style or grainy mustard
salt a pepper
Whisk the oil and vinegar with the mustard and pinches of salt and pepper. Toss with the arugula. Serve the eggs while still warm on a bed of salad.Print This Post

Using a Mac to make Windows cope with something Linux touched
by Simon St. Laurent
Sometimes the easiest path from Linux to Windows is via the Macintosh.
I've been building a new Linux box, my first in a few years. (More on that later.) Thanks to a complicated series of mistakes on my part, I wound up with a spare 40GB drive on which I'd already installed Linux. It seemed simple enough to put it in an enclosure and use it as a USB drive for my perpetually short of space Windows laptop. Windows detected the drive, and everything seemed fine, except that I couldn't do anything at all with it. (When did Windows obliterate the disk admin tools it used to have in NT 4.0? [Corrected: Not obliterated, as noted in comments. Just buried.])
I was still reinstalling Linux on the other system, so I finally plugged the drive into my iMac to see what it could do. Sure enough, options for partitioning and formatting came right up. Five minutes later, the drive was in boring old FAT32, and now my laptop recognized it immediately as extra space.
Now I just need to figure out why my laptop insists on connecting all USB devices as 1.0, when it had perfectly good 2.0 support until last week. (It still says it has USB 2.0 in the Device Manager - it just doesn't in practice.)
Have third party interventions helped you deal with contending operating systems?

Normally I don't pipe up to support Microsoft, but in this case, you really didn't look around too hard.
2005-11-23 09:17:08
no questions, but
That's hardly an obvious path unless you already know where you're going - and Google searches on reformatting didn't come up with it either. (Lots about reformatting hard drives with the setup disk for XP for clean installs...)

Woes on 'oze
On a related note, I couldn't find the address bar in that "Internet Explorer" application, so I installed Mozilla Firefox. It was a breeze.

funny response
None of the Windows situations you're pretending to complain about involve trying something, being told that it works - thanks to those cheerfully annoying bubbles at bottom right - and then finding it utterly useless, with no guidance about what to do.
2005-11-25 10:54:50
Not to start a flame war, but...
Not to start a flame war, but in my experience it's much easier to find the basic utilities and services I need for most common tasks on Macintosh.
2005-11-25 11:29:13
No flames, just nothing to right-click on
This was one of the cases where right-clicking in Windows didn't offer hope at all. Device manager would show me drivers, but no access to the contents. There's wasn't an icon of any kind presented for the drive in the normal interface. (Computer Management, as noted below, did have an icon and options.)

/sarcasm off
2005-11-25 19:51:36
No flames, just nothing to right-click on
Remember that Windows XP is intended for Joe Sixpack and Auntie. Do you really want them to have the "Partition" and "Format" functions sitting right there in a drive's context menu? Come on.
2005-11-25 20:48:47
your sarcasm wasn't great to start with
I wasn't attempting to make great claims about how wonderful the Mac is or how crappy Windows is. I was making a point about how having different operating systems around can be extremely useful because they have different attitudes toward common problems.
2005-11-25 20:53:19
successes resulting in failures not helpful
Yeah, actually I'd like Joe Sixpack to have some chance of getting a hard drive to work without wondering why he plugged the thing in and it says it works but it doesn't.
2005-11-25 22:52:35
your sarcasm wasn't great to start with
If that was indeed the moral of the story then why didn't you write it the first time? Instead you wrote a post that made it seem as if Windows XP didn't have any means to format/partition a hard-drive, which is provingly false.
2005-11-25 23:00:00
successes resulting in failures not helpful
So is that what it boils down to? You get "tech support calls" and that's why you have to elaborate on fictitious failures of Windows?
2005-11-25 23:04:54
successes resulting in failures not helpful
BTW, you still haven't corrected the initial post which reads,
(When did Windows obliterate the disk admin tools it used to have in NT 4.0?)

I don't usually update the original, as the comments are there for readers. But since you insist...

Organizations that are reviewing branch virtualization and consolidation are realizing that the WAN impacts of extensive centralization will create too many risks and likely require higher speed data connections between sites in order to deliver the expected user experience.
The VM6 Cluster solution is proving that it can deliver production-grade redundancy and service delivery for remote and branch offices that require the local point of presence, but still want to reap the benefits of consolidation within their server rooms. Going a step further to virtualize both servers and desktops within the branch will also reduce cost of the overall technology deployed in branches, reduce maintenance costs and assure that data is always secure.
In cases where authentication and file services have already been centralized resulting in some degradation of performance and user experience, the reduced footprint and cost of the VMex cluster may provide an opportunity redeploy those services to the branch environment without the cost of extra servers.
Many integrators and VM6 have partnered to deliver on the assessment, process and tools that will make your deployment of the VMex cluster a success in your environment.
The solution also offers the capability of working with a single pain of glass to monitor and manage all of the remote branch office deployments. So all remote servers and desktops are monitored and managed through the same interface providing an overview of all systems and the ability to drill down in to regions, states, cities and specific locations that may require attention.
Include blade-based systems that include both server storage and network capabilities such as the Dell VRTX solution, and you can achieve an extremely simple and modular method for deploying branch offices, retail stores, or any other remote office scenario that requires the speed and efficacy of a local compute solution.
Do your research first, and always do a proof of concept for any technology prior to rolling it out!

BOWIE, Md. - It is sunny but chilly, but there have been some intense thunderstorms in Asheville, N.C. today and Dylan Bundy's scheduled pro debut has been rained out. The Single-A Delmarva Shorebirds will try again to open their season on Friday night.
Bundy is now scheduled to be the starter tomorrow when the Shorebirds meet Asheville at 7:05 p.m. The rainout will be made up as part of a doubleheader on Saturday, with the first pitch of Game One scheduled for 6:05 p.m. Both games of the doubleheader will be seven-inning contests.
Meanwhile, Manny Machado will make his Eastern League debut here shortly against the Harrisburg Senators. Here is what Machado said about moving up from Single-A Frederick to Double-A Bowie:
"It's a great challenge. They are trying to challenge me and that's what I want," Machado said. "It's the only way you get better and advance in this game. Challenge yourself at the next level.
"If I go 0-for-50, I'll just keep pushing. This game, there is a lot of failure. I learned that last year. If I fail, I fail, that is part of the game."
First pitch here at Prince George's Stadium is set for 7:05 p.m.

HARRIS Nashville, Tennessee Attorney for Appellant MICHAEL W. EDWARDS Hendersonville, Tennessee Attorney for Appellee First Paragraph: Plaintiff, Betty Ann Downing, is the sister of Charles O. Brinkley ("Decedent"), who died of AIDS on February 2, 1994, in San Francisco, California. At the time of his death, Decedent had a $15,000 life insurance policy, under which his son, Eric Brinkley, was named as beneficiary. The crux of Plaintiff's complaint is that she paid Decedent's burial expenses in reliance on Defendant's statements indicating that he intended to pay them from the insurance proceeds. The Defendant refused to pay such expenses after he received the insurance funds. The action was originally brought in the General Sessions court for Sumner County, where, following a trial on the merits, judgment was rendered in favor of Plaintiff in the amount of $5,230.00.

The agreement at issue ostensibly settled a tort action brought by the appellant James B. Johnson (Johnson) for serious injuries arising out of an automobile accident, the facts of which are not pertinent to this appeal. Although the parties agree that they entered into an oral settlement and also agree that they advised the trial court that they had settled the plaintiff's suit, they are now in dispute as to the terms of the settlement. The trial court found that there was a mutual mistake of fact in the negotiations leading up to the settlement, and consequently refused to enforce the more generous settlement argued for by Johnson. Johnson filed a T.R.A.P. 9 application for permission to appeal, and in the interest of judicial economy and efficiency, this court agreed to hear his appeal.

Barnard Asst. District AG Lewisburg, TN 37091 First Paragraph: The appellant, Jerry Lee Hunter, appeals from a conviction and sentence for burglary, entered by the Circuit Court of Marshall County. Essentially, four issues are presented for our review. First, the appellant challenges the sufficiency of the evidence to sustain his conviction. Second, the appellant contends that his conviction for burglary is inconsistent with his acquittal on the charges of theft and attempted theft. Third, the appellant argues that the trial court erred in admitting into evidence tools found in the rear pocket of the appellant's pants at the time of his arrest. Finally, the appellant contends that the sentence imposed by the trial court is excessive, and that the trial court should have granted the appellant an alternative sentence.

NICHOLS District Attorney General ANDREW JACKSON Asst. District AG City-County Bldg. Knoxville, TN 37902 First Paragraph: The petitioner was indicted in 1987 for burglary; grand larceny; receiving stolen property; concealing stolen property; "offering to pass and transfer . . . [a] forged . . . check" in the amount of three hundred twenty dollars ($320); and under the habitual criminal statute. Pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, he pled guilty to third-degree burglary; grand larceny; and "attempt to transfer of [sic] a forged instrument exceeding $200 in amount, as charged." The State's recommended punishment for these offenses was the maximum sentence for each conviction. The court accepted the State's recommendation and sentenced the petitioner to ten years as a Range II aggravated and persistent offender for each of the offenses, to run consecutively, for an effective sentence of thirty years. URL:http://www.tba.org/tba_files/TCCA/PARTON.OPN.WP6 Document Name :PARTON.CON.WP6 Court :TCCA Attorneys: See Above First Paragraph: I concur in the majority opinion's result and most of its reasoning. However, I disagree with its view of the relationship between the forgery law and criminal attempt. The forgery statute in question provides that any person who "fraudulently passes or transfers, or offers to pass or transfer, any forged paper, knowing it to be forged, with intent to defraud another" commits a felony. T.C.A. 39 3-804 (1982) (repealed 1989). In context, the reference to an offer carries special meaning that does not include every means by which an attempt may occur. I believe it was included for the direct purpose of making equally culpable the type of person who, for example, presents a forged check to a bank teller for cashing, but the teller notices the forgery and thereby refuses to accept the check or to cash it.

Attorney General Marshall Co. Courthouse Lewisburg, TN 37091 First Paragraph: Appellant, Barry Southerland, was convicted of aggravated rape and aggravated kidnapping. He received concurrent life sentences. His convictions were affirmed by this Court; and the Supreme Court denied certiorari on August 29, 1988. On February 18, 1991, appellant's first Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus was dismissed. On January 29, 1993, appellant filed his second Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus in the United States District Court alleging ineffective assistance of counsel. This Petition was dismissed on August 11, 1994. Appellant subsequently filed application for delayed appeal which was denied by this Court on December 20, 1994. On January 5, 1995, appellant filed for post-conviction relief alleging ineffective assistance of counsel. The trial court dismissed his petition, as untimely, on January 20, 1995, without conducting an evidentiary hearing. Appellant appeals that dismissal. We affirm.

One week ago on social networking website, actress Samantha Ko (高海寧) shared photo of her beautiful fingernails with manicure and her hands happened to cover the important part of her body. Hence, many netizens asked her: "Is it better to wear a top?" However, it is estimated that Samantha is not that daring and should be wearing a low-cut top.

Chapter 3 : Them
|Rating: 15+
|Chapter Reviews: 1
Background: Font color:
Apart, they were broken and hungry and dying, suffocating, giving in. Together, they were whole and full and healthy and strong again. Apart, they could not stand up, for they were like newborn children in that aspect. Together, they would always be able to stand up, stand up for each other. Apart, they were fake; they were beautiful porcelain vases full of hatred and anger and rage and betrayal and mistrust and pain and so many thousands of terrible things. Together, they were real; no longer vases full of horror, but vases full of beauty, a strange, uncanny, other-worldly beauty that was untouchable by anyone or anything. Apart, they were ugly, in truth. Together, they shone.
I, am thinking it's a sign
That the freckles in our eyes are mirror images and
When we kiss they're perfectly aligned
When they walked down halls, the stone no longer reminded them of their hearts. When they sat thinking, alone, they were no longer thinking about their shattered existence and how to escape from it. When they spoke with their parent's about them, they were confident, not wavering, never hesitating, truly perfect for each other. When they talked with each other, you could see it in every word, in every glance, in every movement.
i love you
You could see it, and it was amazing and wonderful. People around them would look on, not knowing how to handle something so pure born from something so dirty and terrible.
And I, have to speculate that God himself
Did make us into corresponding shapes like
Puzzle pieces from the clay
They did not need to get married, but they did anyways. A ring, simple and silver and made beautiful by love. A dress, white and long and make flawless and perfect by love. A suit, white shirt and white pants and black tie, made handsome and endearing by love. Family, friends, even strangers, all half-blinded by love.
No one would forget that day, for they would never again experience something like it. They would only every dream of it in sunlight fields and sparkling streams, and maybe find it in the next life, find it and be happy.
True, it may seem like a stretch but
It's thoughts like this that catch my troubled
Head when you're away and I am missing you to death
And them? They were happy, happy and joyous and whole for forever and eternity. They could smile without cracking, they could laugh without lying, and, more importantly, they had hope. Hope, something that had abandoned them for seemingly centuries. Friends saw a difference but put it down to just them having each other. But those people that knew them better than they knew themselves, they saw it. They saw it and they realized how close they had come to losing someone they held dear. They saw it, and then things were better and everyone was equally as happy as the boy-man and girl-woman who were in a love purer than any other.
When, you're out there on the road for
Several weeks of shows and when you scan
The radio, I hope this song will guide you home
They were still growing, still growing up and away from the darkness that had held them prisoner for so long. They were becoming real, and in doing so, they were trusting and loving smiling and laughing and not lying and it was truly wonderful. It was a sun shining on the faces of prisoners who have not been released for lifetimes. It was the fresh breeze after hot stillness. It was the look of awe on the face of one seeing something innocent for the first time after seeing nothing but dirty and guilty things for years that stretch into endless time, stretch into an eternity of horror. But even beyond all of that, it was their effect on the people around them. The way that they could see each other for the first time in a week and suddenly everyone around them was happy and euphoric and full of an uncontrollable and unexplainable joy. In short, it was a miracle.
They will see us waving from such great
Heights, 'come down now' they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
'Come down now', but we'll stay…
It was such a change, such a glowing, beautiful change that no one could forget it if they saw it. No one could get over it. And no one wanted too.
People said that when the first child was born, the happiness and love around them was increased tenfold. People said that when the second child was born, you could not walk into the same county as them and not feel the love and joy. And people were happy for them. People all over would forget their own troubles for a day and take a minute to smile and laugh and hug for someone else's happiness. And people with sad endings to their own stories would realize that maybe, just maybe, their story wasn't over yet and there was hope for a happy ending.
I tried my best to leave this all on your
Machine but the persistent beat it sounded
Thin upon listening
They were not oblivious to the effect they had, and they liked it. The liked the fact that they could help to turn someone's life around when they, themselves, knew all too well what it was like to not have love or hope and to be missing your second half, which you are sometimes born with, and sometimes not. Their children were both born without their second half, you could tell by looking at them. But they knew what to do, the two full of love. They loved their children, showed them what love and trust felt like before it was too late. And they did their job well, proving to their children that if you grew up missing your second half, it does not mean you can't love or trust anyone while you are searching for your missing piece. And, true to their parent's happy ending, the children got theirs, too.
That frankly will not fly you will hear
The shrillest highs and lowest lows with
The windows down when this is guiding you home
The love of two people spread throughout a school, a family, a town, a city, a county, a country, the world. When people began to think that death was the only way out, they remembered, and they realized what they needed and who they needed, and they lived. The purity of two people in true love cleansed the world and created happy endings for so many hundreds more people than before this love. These happy endings were not fairy tale stories. This happiness was not without obstacles, not without tears or pain or fighting, not without hidden and treacherous evils that had to be conquered using something even stronger than a sword held by a knight in shining armor. And yet these evils were conquered, and, eventually, people had their happy endings.
They will see us waving from such great
Heights, 'come down now' they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
'Come down now' but we'll stay
Apart, they were Rose and Scorpius, cracked and broken. Together, they were RoseandScorpius, ScoRose, whole and full and happy.
i l o v e y o u
Wow, that ending was a lot fluffier than I thought it would be. Okay, the song is Such Great Heights by Postal Service (but with an extra refrain of the chorus added on). Please leave a review and tell me what you think!

Protesters denounce Valentine's Day celebration in Pakistan

Hundreds of protesters in Peshwar city of Paksitan on Tuesday staged a noisy demonstration to denounce marking Valentine's day in Pakistan.
The protesters urged for a "day of modesty" instead of celebrating Valentine's Day which they believe is an un-Islamic act.
The demonstration was organized by Pakistan's main religious party — Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) and was attended by hundreds of students outside the press club in the northwestern city of Peshawar, chanting slogans against Valentine's Day, saying it had "spread immodesty in the world".
The younger generation of Pakistan is celebrating Valentines's Day which is increasingly getting popular in this country. Many of the younger Pakistanis are marking the Valentine's Day by giving cards, chocolates and gifts to their sweethearts to celebrate the occasion.
[pro_ad_display_adzone id="44954″]
However Pakistan is an Islamic country with a conservative society where many Pakistanis disapprove and call it an import of Western tradition.
But the protesters on Tuesday said the tradition encourages the younger and unmarried men and women to live together in sin and urged that February 14 should be marked a "day of modesty" by carrying banners.
Shahzad Ahmed, the local head of the student organisation said, "We will not allow holding of any Valentine's Day function."
He said, "The law enforcing agencies must prevent such gatherings, otherwise we will stop in our own way."

New Delhi/San Francisco, Nov 19 (IBNS) Indian technology giant Wipro topped the ranking in its first appearance in the Guide to Greener Electronics released by Greenpeace International on Monday.
The guide, in its 18th version, ranked 16 electronic companies across the world based on their commitment and progress in three environment criteria: Energy and Climate, Greener Products and Sustainable Operations.
While most of the ICT companies have made progress in removing toxic chemicals from the mobile phones, computers and tablets they produce, barring few, their manufacturing and supply chains are still too heavily dependent on dirty energy sources that are contributing to climate change while at the same time lagging behind in effectively managing e-waste they produce, particularly in India.
Wipro scored the most points due to its efforts to embrace renewable energy and advocacy for greener energy policies in India. Wipro also scored well for post-consumer e-waste collection for recycling and for phasing out hazardous substances from its products.
"Wipro has set a new benchmark for sustainability, not only in India but across the globe, that will have a long-term impact in shaping the green energy debate in the electronics industry," said Greenpeace India Senior Campaigner Abhishek Pratap.
"The rest of the electronics sector should follow in the footsteps of Wipro's climate leadership."
HP dropped from No. 1 in last year's edition of the guide to No. 2. Nokia moved up from No. 4 to No. 3.
Taiwanese computer maker Acer was the most improved company in the guide, moving up nine spots to No. 4 for engaging with its suppliers on greenhouse gas emissions, hazardous substances, conflict minerals and fibre sourcing.
Dell dropped from No. 3 to No. 5. Apple dropped slightly from No. 5 in last year's edition to No. 6. Blackberry maker RIM did not improve from its 16th ranking, the bottom of the group.
As the Indian version of Guide to Greener Electronics has been merged with the International version, all the companies have also been assessed on their performance on managing the e-waste, generated from their products in India.
Only two companies Wipro and Samsung have shown strong e-waste management programme which can be seen as best in class practice.
Their programme consists of e-waste collection, recycling and phasing out of hazardous chemicals from the products, setting a new bench mark for other companies to follow in India and elsewhere.
Many global companies did not even develop an e-waste management programme for India which casts a doubt on their ability to meet obligation put on them under the newly enacted E-waste (Management and Handling) rule.
An ambitious collection target of 20 % can be set up under the new rule.
As global electronics use grows, only corporate environmental leadership can prevent increased electronic waste and ensure that the industry transitions to using clean energy to manufacture its products.
Electronic companies have also gained political power in many countries, meaning their advocacy for clean energy can impact government policy.
"Given the massive energy crisis around the world including caused by depleting & polluting fossil fuel, the next big environmental challenge for consumer electronics companies is to reduce their carbon pollution," said Greenpeace International IT analyst Casey Harrell.
"Companies should work with their suppliers to implement more efficient manufacturing processes and to power the supply chain with renewable energy, not fossil fuels, just as they have successfully done to reduce the toxic materials in electronics," Harrel added.

Trouble is that can often mean your carpet, clothes or god forbid the bed!Believe me, as breeders, we've seen it all (and smelt it too) and it wasn't pretty. Trouble is, once they've started "going" somewhere, it is very hard to get them to stop. Cats are very sensitive to smell and unless you get every last trace of it gone, they will be tempted to repeat offend.
The thing is that cats use their urine to scent mark territory so it is very pungent and hard to remove. It has components (uric acid being one) that help it to cling to surfaces and to penetrate too.

It's effectiveness means that you will get rid of both the stain and the smell. No more having to clean with different products, just this one will do the trick, a cost saver for you
- Because it is natural and contains no harmful chemicals, bleaches or alcohol, you'll have peace of mind knowing that it is not going to harm your pets or your precious fabrics or floors.
- This handy spray pack is a great size for small jobs or awkward to get at places. Very handy too for travelling.. keep one in the car. Very convenient, you can get at the offending spot straight away.
- Not only is Urine Off effective on cat urine, it will also clean vomit, bile, faeces and much more.. one product only will save you lots of money on cleaning.. that's always a bonus.
