These questions are answered in a variety of documents e.g. the beowulf FAQ, my online book, the beowulf HOWTO and more. In a nutshell, "Cluster" is a broad term that includes high availability (HA) clusters (failover servers, data centers) and high performance computing (HPC, aka "supercomputing") clusters. Beowulf is a term for a specific configuration (single headed, passive node) HPC cluster, where there are other HPC cluster configurations such as NOW or Grid or compute farm that are equally or more common (but less useful for fine grained parallel computations).

Wabash Mourns the Loss of Ken Rudolph '05• February 22, 2006 Share:
Kenneth Rhys Rudolph, Wabash College class of 2005, died tragically on Tuesday, February 21 at 12:30 a.m. as the result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident.
Ken Rudolph was born in Indianapolis on October 26, 1982 to Rhys and Laura Rudolph; he graduated from Concordia Lutheran High School in 2001 and Wabash College cum laude on May 15, 2005. Ken was a religion major, philosophy minor, and was the editor-in-chief of the Wabash Commentary from 2003 to 2005.
As a student, Ken Rudolph was a good friend to much of the Wabash community. He was a visible and respected leader of campus conservatives and libertarians; the effectiveness of his leadership was due in large part to Ken's natural conviviality. Ken socialized amiably across nearly all sectors of campus; his infectious charm laid a foundation of mutual respect, upon which serious discussion was protected from animosity. Ken enlivened classrooms with thoughtful and needed perspectives; he fostered careful and critical reflection well beyond classroom walls; his fearless penchant for vigorous conversation and inquiry motivated his friends, opponents and the entire campus to join him in thinking about the things that matter most.
As editor of the Commentary, Ken Rudolph contributed substantially both to the goals of the magazine as well as to the intellectual community of Wabash College. As editor-in-chief, Ken dramatically improved the quality and reputation of the magazine by careful attention to its original spirit. As primary organizer of Commentary sponsored events, Ken Rudolph enriched the intellectual life of Wabash College. Almost single-handedly, Ken brought to campus a diverse and impressive slate of visiting lecturers, including Fr. Richard John Neuhaus, Ann Coulter, Governor Mitch Daniels, Jonah Goldberg, Dr. Mike Adams, Lori Borgman, Dr. Paul Griffiths and Dr. Russell Reno. Ken Rudolph's tireless efforts have left a lasting impact on the hearts and minds of the students, faculty and staff of Wabash College.
As a man, Ken Rudolph was a devoted son and brother, as well as a loyal, cherished friend. Ken was a thoughtful and trusted confidant, listening patiently, advising prudently, and offering insight with care and candor. Ken's generosity of spirit enriched the lives of many; he was quick to pick-up the tab, slow to anger, and steady in his commitments. Ken loved his college, country, and the community of Christian discipleship. He was a man of deep faith, pursuing the truth in all things, driven by his conviction in the oneness of God. Ken's character reflected the responsibility to make an account of oneself before God. Ken Rudolph conducted himself at all times as a gentleman; his dedication to this rule inspires all who knew him to live up to the example that he leaves behind. He will be deeply missed.
Ken Rudolph is survived by his mother, father and two sisters, Kathryn and Lauren as well as long-time girlfriend Lauren Dinger.
Memorial bequests can be made in Mr. Rudolph's memory to the Kenneth R. Rudolph Scholarship Fund at Wabash College, P.O. Box 352, Crawfordsville, IN 47933. Contributions may be made by phone by calling 877-743-4545.

Steelers rookie outside linebacker Jarvis Jones suffered a chest injury in Saturday's loss to Kansas City and was to be taken to a hospital for "further evaluations," club spokesperson Burt Lauten said after the game on Twitter.
According to Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the club believes Jones, their first-round pick, "will be OK."
Jones left the game in the fourth quarter after appearing to be shaken up at the conclusion of his return of a deflected pass he had intercepted. (The play was nullified by a pass interference penalty.)
The 23-year-old Jones is listed as the top backup to Jason Worilds at right outside linebacker. However, his young legs and pass-rush ability are welcome additions to a sound, stout defense in need of some reinforcements for both the present and future.

Members of IUCN are celebrating the announcement of their new president, Ashok Khosla from India. He was running against Purificació Canals and Carlos Manuel Rodríguez in the presidential run-off at the world's oldest and largest environmental network, held at its World Conservation Congress in Barcelona.
Ashok Khosla will take over the position from outgoing President Valli Moosa, who took up the post four years ago at IUCN's previous World Conservation Congress in Bangkok, Thailand.
IUCN is a democratic union with more than 1,000 government and NGO member organizations, and some 10,000 volunteer scientists in more than 150 countries. Meeting in Barcelona for their Members' Assembly, which runs till tomorrow, members vote on IUCN's programme of work for the following four years, electing the IUCN President and Council, while also managing the business affairs of the Union.
"Given its critical role in maintaining life - and the systems that support life - conservation of biodiversity now needs at least the same level of attention that other global environmental issues have garnered," says IUCN's new President, Ashok Khosla.
"This will have to be mobilized not only by international agencies and governments but also by the scientific community, civil society and the public at large," adds Khosla. "We must form new partnerships among the best institutions to bring together their different insights and to generate meaningful solutions that deal effectively with the inter-related issues of population, natural resources, environment and development."
Ashok Khosla is Chairman of Delhi-based Development Alternatives, a social enterprise devoted to promoting commercially-viable, environmentally-friendly technologies for rural communities in the global South. He was earlier a director in the United Nations Environment Programme.

Madrid: Barcelona defender Gerard Pique says the last eight Copa del Rey victory over Malaga was a fair result and suggests that semi-final opponents Real Madrid will feel the absence of goalkeeper Iker Casillas.
The Blaugrana came out 6-4 aggregate victors after a pulsating encounter with Malaga which means they will face Jose Mourinho`s men in the last four.
But the 25-year-old admits that they were matched all the way by Manuel Pellegrini`s side.
"It was not easy at all. We had to work hard and keep the ball, although at times the game had been end-to-end. Even so, the result is fair," he told reporters.
"We knew it would be difficult. We came here needing to win, and both teams have played a great game.
"From the position I play, I didn`t think I would score so early. But I`m very happy to have qualified."
Thursday`s result has set up a mouth-watering clash with Real Madrid which is scheduled to be played on January 29, and Pique thinks the loss of their skipper, who fractured a finger against Valencia, is a big blow to Los Blancos.
He said: "Casillas is the captain and an emblem of Real Madrid. He has shown his quality over many years.
"His absence will be felt: not because of Adan, who is a great keeper, but because of the fact that Madrid will be without their captain."
On the contrary, Barcelona`s assistant coach Jordi Roura has shifted attention away from the upcoming match against the Catalan club`s arch-rivals.
He added: "I prefer not to talk about Real Madrid, we have to play Osasuna first."
Malaga`s Spanish winger Joaquin conceded that it was only a matter of time before Barca breached Manuel Pellegrini side`s backline.
Joaquin said: "We hung in there as long as we could, but Barca are an extraordinary team, and they have the best player in the world."

Q With the new major development announced for First Street and Brokaw Road in San Jose, do you know if the developer will be asked to pay for the "often thought of but never financed Zanker Road to North Fourth Street connection" to alleviate the traffic congestion the development will create?
Henry Milan
San Jose
A The answer is yes — sort of.
Since 2006, San Jose has had a transportation impact fee for the North San Jose area charged to all new development there. One is a planned Highway 101 overcrossing connecting Zanker with Skyport Drive and Fourth Street. The city is now making the 101/Zanker overcrossing a high priority along with 101/Mabury near the new Berryessa BART station.
The tenant for development at First and Brokaw will submit a plan to minimize traffic impacts through a variety of measures — encouraging workers to ride light rail, bike on the Guadalupe River Trail and take shuttles to Caltrain and BART.
Q Are there any plans to improve Commercial Street in San Jose between Berryessa and Oakland roads and Interstate 880?
Nick George
A Yes, as part of the San Jose Flea Market development as well as upgrades to the Oakland Road/101 interchange and the Oakland/Commercial intersection. Commercial will be reconfigured to have two northbound lanes and one southbound lane between Berryessa and Oakland roads, making it easier access the Oakland/101 interchange. But when? Here is today's familiar refrain: Dunno. The projects are driven by funding from developers.
Q There is major construction on a large tract of open land at the northeast corner of Highway 85 and Almaden Expressway. It extends north from 85 to Chynoweth Avenue. The big question: Will the city extend Chynoweth across Alamitos Creek to tie in with Chynoweth east of the creek? Or might they extend Sanchez Drive north from Blossom Hill Road to the development?
Right now there is no through street going east from Almaden between Blossom Hill and Branham Lane. An alternate would do wonders in relieving coming traffic demands.
Stu Goodgold
San Jose
A The extension of Chynoweth to Almaden is planned but unfunded. The connection of Sanchez Drive to Thornwood Drive is also planned but unfunded. The extension of Chynoweth and Vista Park through Martial Cottle Park has been removed from long-range plans.
Q Will San Jose ever expand Coleman Avenue from four to six lanes between Hedding and Taylor? Every rush hour this stretch is a parking lot.
Jesus Gomez
San Jose
A Yes, there are plans to widen Coleman to six lanes between Taylor and Hedding. This project is considered to be of regional significance and is eligible for state and federal grants. But, said Hans-the-San-Jose-Traffic-Czar:
"I'm not holding my breath that we see this project get funded anytime soon. There is a severe lack of funding for transportation and a growing list of higher-priority projects."

Beginner's guide to essential cycling skills
Basic riding skills for everyone
Before you hit the road, here are the essential basic riding skills that everyone should know and practice.
You never forget how to ride a bike, right? That's essentially true, but coaches who teach cycling to adults say there are a few things that they do forget – or never learned.
We're talking about things like getting the saddle height right, setting off, braking and using the gears. Plus there's one mechanical skill that's so useful everyone should know how to do it: getting your front wheel off and on so you can carry your bike by car.
Set your saddle right
Getting your saddle height right is vital. Just as you wouldn't be very comfortable walking around in a pair of jeans with the legs four inches too long, so you won't be comfortable on a bike if the saddle is too high or too low.
If your saddle is a lot too high, you'll know about it very quickly – you won't be able to reach the pedals! Adjust it as shown below. If it's just a little too high, you will still be able to reach the pedals but your hips will rock from side to side as you pedal. That will quickly make you sore and uncomfortable. A useful rule of thumb is therefore to make sure your saddle is not so high that this happens.
If your saddle's too low, you lose muscular efficiency and so you'll get tired more quickly. For some people, the sharper bend in the knee from a low saddle height can cause injury.
To move your saddle up and down (picture below) you'll need an Allen key. They're usually 5mm, though some bikes use 4mm or 6mm Allen key bolts for this. Unscrew the bolt by turning it anti-clockwise, then lift or lower the saddle as necessary. Make sure the saddle is straight as well as at the right height, then tighten the bolt firmly so that the saddle won't rotate if you try and twist it. That should leave it tight enough that it won't sink under you.
There's no single way of setting your Goldilocks height – just right – for your saddle. For racing and other serious riding it's often suggested that you start with a saddle to pedal distance of 1.09 X your inside leg, as this has been found to be efficient for some riders. But it's too high for many people, so we suggest a knee angle of 25 to 35 degrees with the pedal at the bottom of the stroke.
You can always tilt the bike bit to reach the ground comfortably.
Going flat-footed: the reason many riders lower their saddles too much is because it lets them sit across the bike with a foot flat on the floor, which feels safe.
Saddle height right: your saddle should be high enough that your knee makes a 25-35 degree angle when your foot is at the bottom of the pedal stroke.
Saddle too low: you'll be less efficient in this position and in the long-term you risk knee injury. And, let's be honest, you look like a bit of a numpty.
You can still reach the ground from the right saddle height, you just have to stretch a bit.
Getting started
A vital skill that beginners often struggle to master is simply pushing off at the beginning of a ride. The trick is not to teeter on the saddle, but to straddle the bike and lift yourself on to the saddle as you set off.
It's useful to know which is your lead foot, because this is the best one to start pedalling. Imagine yourself sliding across a polished floor in your socks. Which foot do you lead with? That's your lead foot. Here's the sequence:
1 Start with your lead foot on the pedal, straddling the bike (picture below). Squeeze the brake levers gently to hold the brakes on lightly and steady the bike. A look over your shoulder is always a good idea, even on a car-free path.
2 Release the brakes and push down with your lead foot. As you start moving, push off the ground with your other foot and lift yourself up away from the bike frame. Keep a firm grip on the bars, pointing the bike forward.
3 Place your other foot on the pedal and start pedalling, moving your bum back toward the saddle as the bike starts moving. A couple of pedal strokes while out of the saddle will help get you up to speed quickly.
4 Carry on pedalling, and gently lower yourself on to the saddle. Keep looking forward, rather than down at the bars or the road, as this will keep you steady.
5 Sit yourself comfortably and away you go. Keep a light grip on the bars and your head up, and keep looking down the road or track.
The trick to learning to stop quickly is to use the brakes together, then learn to use the front brake – your most powerful brake – to maximum advantage. Many riders fear that using the front brake will put them over the handlebar, but you can reduce your stopping distance by almost 50 per cent if you use the front brake rather than the rear on its own.
On bikes assembled to UK standard the rear brake is controlled by the left lever. Use this brake alone and you'll stop, but not as quickly as you could. The best strategy for beginners is to pull the rear brake lever first and then bring in the more powerful front brake gradually.
As you pull the front brake lever, brace yourself against the handlebar. The fastest braking comes when the front brake is almost lifting the rear wheel off the ground. This takes practice so spend some time in a safe, traffic-free environment seeing just how quickly you can stop.
Using the gears
We see many beginners toiling up hills because they don't know how to use their gears. It's not obvious what all those sprockets and the buttons on the handlebars do, so don't be afraid to ask your bike shop for a demonstration.
On a bike with derailleur gears, the front derailleur provides large jumps in gears, and you fine-tune with the rear derailleur. It's very like a truck or four-wheel-drive off-roader with high range and low range gearboxes.
The right-hand shifters control the rear derailleur, and the left-hand shifters control the front derailleur.
Hub gears usually have just one control, on the right hand side of the bar, to move through the whole range.
As with braking, find yourself a safe, traffic-free environment and practise shifting up and down the gears to get a feel for what they do. For starters, try putting the front derailleur in the smallest of two, or middle of three chainrings, then shift up and down the rear sprockets.
You'll notice that the difference between one sprocket and another is not great, but because there are eight, nine, or ten of them this gives quite a wide range.
Then, shift into the largest chainring by pushing the larger button on the left-hand shifter and again shift up and down the rear sprockets with the right hand control. All the gears are harder to pedal in the larger chainring, which means you'll go faster for a given pedalling speed. Use these gears for downhills and fast flat sections.
If you have a triple chainring, use the left-hand control to move the chain down two steps to the smallest chainring. The gears here are very easy; they're great for climbing hills.
Another common beginner problem is to pedal very slowly in a high gear. You'll be more comfortable and able to ride for longer if you pedal more quickly in an easier gear. It may not feel that you're doing much work, but that's the idea: each pedal stroke involves less effort so you can keep going for many more of them.
Picture below: a middle gear. With the chain on the middle ring of a triple or small ring of a double, you have medium-sized gears suitable for medium-speed riding on the flat and up and down moderate hills.
Picture below: a high gear. With the chain on the larger chainring and a small rear sprocket you'll travel a long way for each turn of the pedals, enabling you to go faster. Perfect for descending or just getting a move on.
Picture below: a low gear. With the chain on the smallest chainring and larger sprockets you can climb hills slowly but with less effort. Specialist touring bikes, intended for heavily laden expeditions, have low gears of less than 1:1.
Skill building exercises
Once you've mastered the absolute basics of operating the machine, then it's time to work on steering and handling accuracy. This is mostly all about practice, but here are a couple of useful exercises that you can do with just a couple of sets of inexpensive nine-inch-high football training cones from a sports shop.
Kids love these exercises. We had trouble stopping young Alex here from zooming between the cones. As your or your youngster's skills develop, moving the cones closer together makes this more challenging, as does varying the route to force wider arcs.
Slalom: Arrange a line of cones two to three yards apart and slalom among them. Young riders love this game because they can have fun whizzing through the gaps, or deliberately trying to knock the cones over. If your youngster thinks that's a better game than going between the cones, challenge him to knock them over with his or her pedals rather than the wheel. It's easy to ride straight through a cone; a bit harder to just clip it.
Gap-storming: Arrange two lines of cones in a V formation so they make up pairs of increasingly close spacing. Try and ride between them without hitting the last pair. As your confidence increases, move the final pair closer and closer together. When the final cones are more than about 18 inches apart this is relatively easy, because you can just ride through. As they get closer, you have to start thinking about pedal position too. This is useful in the real world where barriers intended to keep motorbikes off bike paths are often narrow and tall – and don't fall over if you clip them!
We do not recommend the use of a training cone as a protective device.
Removing your front wheel
It's not a riding skill, but being able to get the front wheel off your bike is very useful because it makes it possible to load the bike into a car to get further afield and perform field repairs like fixing a puncture.
There isn't room here to deal with all the possibilities, so we've tackled a very common situation, a bike with V-brakes.
If you are lucky enough to have disc brakes you can ignore all the steps involving the brakes – the brake disc just drops out from the brake when you undo the quick release.
Road bikes with calliper brakes usually have a lever on the brake to increase the pad spacing so the wheel can be pulled out between them.
1 (Picture below) You may need to create some slack in the brake cable. Undo the lockring on the barrel adjuster and screw it all the way into the lever body.
2 Slide the bellows-shaped cover off the steel tube (called a noodle) at the top of the brake so you can see where the noodle fits into the brake arm.
3 Squeeze the brake arms together so that the noodle comes free from its anchor point in the brake arm.
4 Here's a top view so you can see how the end of the noodle should be pulled back until the cable can slide up through the slot.
5 The brake fully open. The pads are now spaced widely enough that the wheel will pass through them easily.
6 Undo the quick-release lever on the wheel hub by pushing it out from the wheel. It's not a spanner handle so don't try to unscrew it by turning it.
7 The quick-release in fully open position. The heel should now be loose in the fork, but the lips on the ends of the fork legs stop it from just dropping out.
8 To allow the wheel to clear the fork lips, unscrew the nut on the opposite end of the quick release enough that the wheel can come out.
9 Lift the bike off the wheel and you're ready to stow your bike, fix a flat or do whatever else needs doing.
10 To refit the wheel, start with the quick release open, tighten the nut so touches the fork, then unscrew a couple turns. Close the lever. It should need considerable effort.
11 To close the brake, squeeze the arms together and push the noodle into place. Replace the bellows and, if necessary, take up the cable slack at the lever.

Let's set the record straight.
If you are brand new to running an ecommerce business and think that "doing light SEO, social, or ads" is going to be a path to overnight success... stop what you are doing and read this closely.
If you want early traction, the problem you need to solve immediately is getting in front of as many real people who're actually interested in what you sell as fast as possible. Posting to an empty Facebook page isn't going to help.
Relying on Google to send search traffic, at least right away, is a risky bet too - they don't tend to trust new websites right away.
I get it, some part of us really wants to believe that all it takes to be an online success is a couple of posts to Facebook, all of our friends will be interested, they'll tell all their friends and BOOM our store is "the next big thing."
But it doesn't work this way. There's been a huge disservice done to an entire generation of entrepreneurs who have been bred to believe that if their product is good, it's their customer's job to market the company for them.
If you want traction for your ecommerce startup, you have to roll up your sleeves, get your hands dirty, and start reaching out to people you don't know.
We've become so afraid to ask that it's like we're waiting for someone to give us permission to live our dream.
"I don't want to come off as spammy." "But what if they turn me down?" "People don't like being sold to."
The thing is, most everyone has it backwards.
Once you've reached out to bloggers, you can build up your backlinks that'll contribute to your SEO. Once you have customers, you can direct them to your social accounts. Once you have sales, you can build an ad budget and experiment.
But if you put these things first, all you're doing is scrambling to get a return on the time and money you've invested and you'll likely find yourself at a deficit.
Remember there was a time before the internet when hustling was the only way to do business. People went door to door, they hit the phones, they sent out letters and heard "no" often.
Realistically hard-nosed hustling is still is the only way to start, and the tools the internet provides - Social media, SEO, etc. - only enhances the efforts that are built on that foundation of hustle.
Watch this video from Gary Vaynerchuk, and realize that, to some degree, this is what you need to be doing every. single. day.
Want to get advertisers on your blog
Want to get advertisers on your blog? #throwback #VideoPosted by Gary Vaynerchuk on Sunday, April 12, 2015
Even if you're not doing exactly what Gary is doing, that's the hustle you need to bring your "thing" into the world.
That might include:
- Requesting guest posts
- Asking for product reviews
- Reaching out to potential cross-marketing partners
- Getting featured in videos
- Getting on the shelves of local stores
- Pulling a stunt that gets press
Instead of posting to an empty Facebook page, partner with someone who runs an active page or group. Instead of "Pinning" to empty boards, get featured on an active Pinterester's board. Talk to people with reach.
Do things that actively put you in front of people so that you know without a shadow of doubt they're seeing your message. Do this until it's near impossible to manage on your own. That is what you need for traction.
SEO, Social media marketing, paid ads... these are great if (and it's a big IF) you have the knowledge, skills, and budget necessary to do them justice. But from my experience, new entrepreneurs default to these when they haven't put thought into a marketing plan and don't want to face the harsh reality of rejection.
It's easy to blame Google for not sending you traffic. It's easy to blame Facebook's algorithm for "killing reach", it's easy to blame not using the right hashtags on Instagram, or calling Twitter too noisy, or not using "compelling" enough headlines, or pinning to the right boards, or using the wrong call to action…
It's easy to gravitate towards these tactics because it's easy to blame things you have little control over when they don't work out.
Watching that cursor blink as you try to think of the perfect subject line, knowing there's a distinct possibility that the person you're about to email might say "no" or worse, tell you your idea isn't valuable enough, or unique enough, or just plain not good enough… That's much harder.
It's hard to stay focused after dealing with rejection. Waking up everyday feeling like you're on the brink of something great even though you're the only person who knows it; that's difficult.
You have to trust that what you're trying to do is worth fighting for, and if it isn't, that you can learn from it without letting negativity destroy you.
If you want early traction, you need to send emails until your fingers blister. You need to make phone calls and talk to people you feel you have no business talking to. You need courage to do it confidently and thick skin to handle rejection.
If you want early traction, you need to reach out and take it.

When Your Child Needs a Tube Feeding
Sometimes your child might benefit from a tube feeding (also called enteral feeding). This is when liquid nutrition is delivered by a tube directly into the stomach or into the small bowel. There are several methods of tube feedings, some short term and some long.
Child Nutrition Given Through an IV
If your child is not able to digest and absorb oral or tube feedings, he or she may need total parenteral nutrition (TPN), which is nutrition given intravenously (through an IV).

- analysis of a "food diary" that is kept over the course of several days
- detailed body measurements, including weight, length or height, head circumference, weight-for-length, BMI and skin fold measurements. We can assess your child's growth by comparing these measurements to reference standards on a growth chart
- calculations of your child's resting energy expenditure or basal metabolic rate, which is the number of calories your child would burn if he or she rested all day
- education and guidance for you and your child about how best to manage nutritional needs related to a particular disease or condition
We will work closely with you and your child to create a plan that ensures your child gets the nutrition he or she needs to promote growth, especially during times of serious illness.

- Somatosensory agnosia or astereognosia or ahylognosia is a form of tactile disorder and is the inability to identify an object by active touch of the hands without other sensory input. An individual with astereognosis is unable to identify objects by handling them, despite intact sensation.[1] With the absence of vision (i.e. eyes closed), an individual with astereognosis is unable to identify what is placed in their hand.[1] As opposed to agnosia, when the object is observed visually, one should be able to successfully identify the object. People finds it difficult to recognize objects by touch based on its texture, size and weight. However, they may be able to describe it verbally or recognize the same kind of objects from pictures or drawings.
Ahylognosia is one of the four forms of tactile recognition disorder proposed by Daley in 1935. He distinguished it from impairment of the knowledge about the size and shape of an object this he called amorphognosis, or the identity of objects he which he called tactile asymboly[2]
Tactile agnosiaEdit
If only one hand is affected individuals are said to have with tactile agnosia and may be able to identify the name, purpose, or origin of an object with their left hand but not their right, or vice-versa, or both hands. Astereognosis refers specifically to those who lack tactile recognition in both hands. In the affected hand(s) they may be able to identify basic shapes such as pyramids and spheres (with abnormally high difficulty) but still not tactilely recognize common objects by easily recognizable and unique features such as a fork by its prongs (though the individual may report feeling a long, metal rod with multiple, pointy rods stemming off in uniform direction).[3] These symptoms suggest that a very specific part of the brain is responsible for making the connections between tactile stimuli and functions/relationships of that stimuli, which, along with the relatively low impact this disorder has on a person's quality of life, helps explain the rarity of reports and research of individuals with tactile agnosia.[3]
Astereognosis is associated with lesions of the parietal lobe or dorsal column or parieto-temporo-occipital lobe (posterior association areas) of either the right or left hemisphere of the cerebral cortex.[1] [3]
Thought to be connected to lesions or damage in somatosensory cortex.

About Us
Founded in 1998 by the daughters and son of Lynne Cohen, the Lynne Cohen Foundation exemplifies the life force and passion of its namesake. Lynne loved being a mom. From playing with her kids, to encouraging their life explorations, Lynne served as her children's guiding light and inspiration. She endowed each of them with a profound sense of responsibility and compassion.
Lynne battled for 5 long years to stay with her children, but ultimately succumbed to ovarian cancer. Determined to honor their mother's memory, Lynne's children founded the Lynne Cohen Foundation to fight for women like their mother and families like their own. At just 21 years old, Lynne's youngest daughter, Amy, became the driving force behind the project. Twenty years later, she remains dedicated to delivering the foundation's gifts to those who need them most.

Emmett's Advice
This is in Eclipse roundabouts and pretty much Bella is sick and tired of Edward's abstinence and will do anything to persuade him to go on and just have sex with her already. Even resorting to Emmett or Jasper if needs be.
1. Chapter 1: Last Resort
Rating 3.6/5 Word Count 5863 Review this Chapter
I only had a manner of minutes before Edward realized my conniving scheme--Alice distracting him while I asked Emmett for advice. If this was going to work, I had to hurry. I was getting desperate and could no longer wait. Edward's damn abstinence issues were driving me crazy.
It was getting to the point of inevitability--we had to have sex very soon or I would lose it. Literally--I would lose it. If anyone could help me change his mind, it was definitely Emmett. If this didn't work, I could have Jasper put his ability to extreme use and change his mind by toying with his emotions a little here and a little there. This was getting ridiculous--I wanted him; he wanted me--I really didn't see a downside to that.
Running as fast as I could to see Emmett, I kind of got lost in my thoughts and couldn't come to a halt fast enough once I found him, smacking right into his chest and bouncing right off with such force that I almost hit the ground, but he caught and steadied me.
"Whoa, Bella! You okay?" He stifled his fits of laughter as I was recovering.
"Ow. Oh…God." Birds and stars were literally circling around in front of my eyes. Damn, that hurt. Sure, Edward was like stone, but Emmett was a freakin' boulder.
"Bella." His voice sounded slurred to me. "Hey. How many fingers am I holding up?!"
He moved his fingers rapidly in front of my face and I squinted to make sense of it. "Uh…eleventy-seven?" I asked, making him snort.
"Close enough. It was three, by the way," he informed me as I rested my forehead against his chest to recover for a moment--at least until the spinning and buzzing in my ears stopped--and then I pulled back.
"Damn. And, I thought Edward was hard-headed."
He grimaced apologetically and brushed his fingers lightly across my forehead, which throbbed slightly. I winced and he said, "My bad. Where are you off to in such a hurry?"
"To see you." I said, remembering my purpose for coming here.
"Oh?" He straightened up, smiling smugly, "Well, what can I do for you?"
"Help!" I said, hopefully, "Your damn brother is being the biggest idiot in the freaking world!"
He smiled, "Well, I already knew that, but what'd he do this time?"
"It's more like what he didn't do this time?"
"And that would be?…"
"Me!" I said, frantically, no longer caring about how inappropriate it sounded.
"Bella!" Emmett grimaced, appreciatively, "Wow! Didn't know you had it in you. I'm impressed. High-five, my sistuh." He raised his hand and I simply glared at it. He shrugged and lowered it, "All right. Leave me hangin'; that's cool, too. I'll remember that later."
I scoffed and rolled my eyes, "Emmett, I'm serious. This is so stupid; why doesn't he want to have sex with me; I don't get it! I mean, is it me? Am I…repellent in some way or am I not…attractive or sexy enough or what? God!" I sat down against the wall and buried my face in my hands resignedly.
"No! No, you are very attractive." Emmett assured me, bending down beside me, "When I first saw you, do you know what I said to Edward?"
I looked up at him, dreading the answer. Oh, God. Did I want to know this? "What?" I managed to choke out.
"I said, 'Excellent butt, great rack'."
"Emmett!" I rolled my eyes, "That's disgusting; you're practically my brother."
"Hey!" He said, "That's insulting; I am your brother. Besides, I had to use some qualities of yours to attract Edward to you or else he never would've gone for it, and though, he's not really one for the whole physical appearances of a woman, he is still a man; the tiniest little thing can totally set him off. I just…needed to find that one tiniest little thing."
"Oh, my God." I mumbled, rolling my eyes again, "Emmett, come on. Alice can only hold Edward off for so long--I have to do this now; it's my only chance."
"Carry on." He said, carelessly.
"Okay…well, I need to have sex with him--I cannot do this much longer. He keeps offering himself to me only to rip it away like that." I snapped my fingers. "Emmett, I am going insane. What am I supposed to do; I can't keep doing…this, but he refuses to give in. I swear to God, I'm gonna kill him if he doesn't knock it off. I will find a way to kill him unless he gets over whatever issues he has that are holding him back and just freakin' does it."
"All right, all right, all right," Emmett said, growing amused, "Have no fear--Emmett is here." He said, in a mockingly heroic tone.
"Is that supposed to make me feel better?"
He looked hurt. "I feel better."
"Are you gonna help me or not?!" I asked, irritably, "Cause if not, then I'll just turn to Jasper--he has advantages that even you don't have."
"Jasper?! Hah!" He snorted and blew a raspberry, "He couldn't help you if this was a strip club and you were a stripper. All he can do is play with Edward's mind a little to make him think he's horny. I can actually make him horny. Ah-ha. Huh?"
I simply stared at him for a moment and he rolled his eyes, "Ew, no. That's not what I meant; you know what I mean. I just know what you can do to make him horny; there, is that better?"
"Not so much." I said, shaking my head, in disbelief, "Look, either help me or go."
"Fine, fine…I'll help you. What kind of brother do you think I am?" He snorted.
"Great! So what; you'll…talk to him or?…"
Emmett broke out laughing, "Yeah, cause that's what he needs: a good…talking to. Bella, I have been trying for decades to talk to him--the man is not going to change. If anyone is changing his mind here, it's you, sweetie."
"But, I've tried."
"Well, obviously you didn't do a very good job of it or else you would've been halfway to Happy Town a 'talking to' ago."
I rolled my eyes, "Emmett!"
"What I mean is, you clearly haven't tried everything. There are so many weapons you can use against a man--or at least a vampire--bribery, blood, and--my personal favorite--sex. Seduction is the key, honey. Believe me, he'd feel a lot differently if you turned it on. No way he could say no to that."
"You really think so?"
"Oh, are you kiddin' me; Bella, I'm telling you--put on some slutty lingerie, the right kind of music, light some candles--you'll have it made. You'll have yourself some very kinky sexcapades in the making."
"Emmett!" I made to smack his arm, but then stopped myself, realizing that I'd probably just hurt myself instead of him. "Ugh! What is wrong with you?"
"It's called being a man. Edward may call himself a man, but he has done nothing to earn the title. He's no man till he sends in the little soldier to do your bidding."
I grimaced and stood up, pushing him away, slightly. "That's…disgusting"
"Hey, don't blame me; you asked, so I answered. Look, Bella, just talk to him then. Just…avoid the following: 'If you love me, you'll do it'--men hate that; it's like: 'Hello, woman. Hi, I'm right here. What the hell; where am I going? I love you, but I don't have to like you right now.' Or 'Every body's doing it'--because trust me, Edward never was one for following the crowds or letting others' actions influence his own--or the whole compatibility/experimentation thing; believe me, if that was the problem, he would've had sex by now--or my personal favorite: 'If we don't have sex, I'll die'--although, I have used that from time to time with Rose, Edward hates drama and he especially hates threats on your life. Other than that, you'll be fine…"
I just stared at him, now scared. This was never going to work.
Sensing my reluctance and doubt, Emmett grabbed my hand and said, "Here, come on!"
He dragged me along to his and Rosalie's room, sitting me on the bed, searching through the drawers. "When all else fails…tit for tat…where true joy is at." He whipped around, holding up two pieces of lingerie, one black, one red.
"What?! No! Emmett!"
"Oh, come on, it's for a good cause; Rose won't mind."
"Ta-ha!" I laughed, incredulously, but he ignored me.
"Okay…so which one of these will make Bella look hotter…so that Edward…would wanna do her?" He asked himself quietly.
"Shh--I'm thinking."
"Don't hurt yourself." I muttered, making him smirk.
"Hmm…too bad we don't have blue. Do you have blue?" He asked me, hopefully.
"No! I don't own lingerie."
Emmett blew a raspberry, "And, you wonder why Edward won't sleep with you? Hello, no motivation. So much you have to learn about men." Her shook his head, in disbelief, "Let's see. The black might make you look like an Oreo. My God, Bella, you are freakishly white for a human, you know that?"
"Shut up!" I protested, "And, I am not wearing lingerie! Forget it!"
"Well, forget having sex with Edward, then."
I sighed and shook my head, "You are so evil!"
"Thanks; comes with the title. Cullen or not, I am still a vampire--I can't repress all of my evil urges. Give me a break; geez." He blew another raspberry and then studied the two pieces of lingerie studiously for a moment, before saying, impatiently, "That's it! I can't decide. I can't know which one looks better on you without seeing it myself."
"This is not happening! No, no, no, no, NO! Forget it!"
"Oh, come on!"
"Are you kidding me?!"
"Do I look like I'm kidding you?" I simply stared at him for a moment, praying for him to cry out: "Psych!" and then break out laughing. But, he didn't. Instead, he threw me the black piece and said, "Okay…strip. I'll turn around so I don't see anything."
"Ew." I grimaced.
"Bella, do you want my help or not?"
"Yes, but--"
"Ah, ah, ah, ah--no buts. No buts. You want my help; I'm helping. This is my solution. Otherwise, have fun dying a virgin." I scowled at him. "Kidding. Lighten up. I guarantee you, this'll work."
"But, it's weird."
"No, it's not. I'm your brother, Bella; I'm just giving you my opinion; that's all. Come on. I do this for Alice all the time."
"You do?" I asked, curiously.
"Well, is it my fault she didn't lock the door?" I rolled my eyes and he continued on, "Will you just do it?! Bella, you said it yourself; we don't have time for this. Strip. Now." He turned around and said, "Well, go on."
"Cover your eyes; I don't trust you."
He covered his ears. "I'm not seeing this. I'm not seeing this…"
He laughed and then moved his hands to cover his eyes. "You know, Bella, this is totally ridiculous! You really need to get over this."
"Oh, will you…shut it?"
He snorted and I began changing. This was so weird. Even though he wasn't looking, I couldn't help but be self-conscious. It took me quite a while to fit it over my butt. How was that possible? My God, was this meant to be so tight? Oh, God…I was going to die from humiliation. This wasn't exactly what I set out to do.
When I finally finished, I sighed and said, irritably, "All right…done."
He turned around and said, "Whoa! Damn, Bella! Who knew you had all that in you, huh?"
I shuddered. "Stop!"
"I'm giving you a compliment, Bella. Take it and be happy."
"Thanks." I forced out, wrapping my arms around myself to cover my shoulders.
"No, no, no, no--none of that." Emmett said, coming over and lowering my arms, "Bella, if this is going to work, you can't be self-conscious. You have to be…a little loose. Look, we already know he wants you; that part is certain. We just need a little something to…push him over the edge…so to speak."
I rolled my eyes. "You look great." He assured me. "If this doesn't work, then I would seriously have to question his sexual orientation or something, because this is even turning me on and that is saying something."
I cringed, "Ugh…Emmett…ew!"
"Oh, relax. Okay. Black has my approval. So now red. Hurry up."
He turned around and I quickly changed. This one I couldn't get over my breasts. I could hardly breathe. "Okay…" I choked out, "I can't…breathe."
Emmett snorted, "Well, these aren't exactly made for breathing purposes. Besides, they aren't meant to be worn for long anyway."
"Okay…go." I said.
He turned around and his eyes widened. "Holy freakin' chocolate starfish! Well, now, I'm torn."
"What?" I asked, looking down, self-consciously.
"This one makes your boobs look great, but the other flaunts your butt. And, I'm not sure--is Edward a breasts or an ass man?"
I grimaced, "I don't know! How should I know?"
"Well, does he tend to favor your breasts or your ass; it's a pretty self-explanatory question."
"I am not having this conversation with you!" I protested.
"I don't know; I guess--I guess my--" I pointed down to my breasts, not wanting to say the word. "He likes listening to my heart."
He grimaced and nodded, suggestively, "Sure. 'Listening to your heart'." He snorted. "All right! The red it is. Go!" I groaned and he said, "You're welcome," in a smug tone. "This is guaranteed to work; I'm telling you. Edward might be Mr. Polite-and proper gentleman on the outside, but on the inside…he is just like the rest of us. And, this…" he pointed to me, "Will bring out the sex in the man. Believe me."
I rolled my eyes, "Thanks, Emmett," I said, sarcastically.
"Mm, anytime…sis." He lightly punched my shoulder and smiled. "Oh, and I want details, you hear me?"
"Hey! This wouldn't even be happening if it wasn't for me!"
I scoffed, "That would be no. Now, get the hell out of here so I can put some clothes on."
He smirked, "Why would you wanna do that?"
I inhaled sharply in irritation and glared at him.
"Kidding. All right, well, I'm going hunting. Let me know how it goes. I'll see you latuh, my sistuh." He started to head for the door and then said, "Oh! Remind him that Superman had sex with Lois Lane and she was a human. If that helps at all."
He shrugged nonchalantly and then made to leave again when the door burst open and Edward came in, angrily, with Alice scurrying behind him, "Sorry, I tried to distract him. Damn telepathy."
"What the hell is this?!" Edward yelled, turning on Emmett.
"Hey, don't get mad at me, man; it was her idea! Okay, I'm gonna go. Good luck, Bella!" Then, he and Alice took off, each going as fast as they could.
"Cover yourself up!" Edward said, throwing me a blanket, " My God, Bella, what is the matter with you?!"
I rolled my eyes, "Oh, calm down, will you? This is all your fault, anyway."
He clenched his teeth, "Excuse me? What are you talking about?"
"You're the one who insisted on not having sex with me--I couldn't take it anymore; this is your fault."
He took me by my arms and said, angrily, "What the hell are you talking about?! Bella, you know we can't risk it. As much as we want to, it's just not worth it."
"Not worth what?" I demanded, growing angry as well.
"Your life! Look,
I--you know how much I love you--"
"Then, do this for me."
"Oh, don't do that!" He released me, "That is not going to work."
"Then, what will work?"
"Nothing. How many times have I told you; this is not going to happen. So…just let it go. Please."
"Not in a million years." I said, firmly, "Look, I'm getting desperate here."
"I'll say; resorting to Emmett."
"Well, did it work?" I challenged, lowering the blanket slightly to reveal my shoulders and the top of my breasts.
He forced his eyes to remain on mine, tightening his jaw and stiffening up. "Stop it. This is…so ridiculous. How could you?"
"Keep saying no--Jasper will be my next resort; and you know even you can't resist his abilities."
"Don't threaten me." He said, menacingly, narrowing his eyes, "Bella, I have done everything from resist your blood to leaving you when I had nothing else to live for--nothing will change my mind. I might not be as strong as you think, but I am still strong enough to say no to this. Even Jasper couldn't change my mind."
I rolled my eyes, "Oh, will you stop being so stubborn and just hear me out?" "No…this is not a negotiation, do you hear me? I said no and that's that. End of discussion. You cannot ask me to do this. I won't."
"Oh, my God, do I have to beg? Cause I will. I will beg, and I'll beg…then, I'll beg some more."
He scoffed, "Oh, will you grow up? Fine, go ahead, beg--it won't change anything."
"Okay…okay…then, how about this--" as dumb as it seemed, I had to use Emmett's suggestion; I was losing him, "--Superman had sex with Lois Lane and he had the strength of ten men. They made it work. What makes you so sure that we can't, too, huh?"
He glared at me for a second before saying, through clenched teeth, "First of all…Superman and Lois Lane…are fictional characters in a comic book--" I scoffed and rolled my eyes, as he continued, "And, second of all, Superman never wanted to drink Lois Lane's blood, like I so desperately wants yours, so his risk was not near as high as mine would be--"
"Which you have proven time and time again, that you can resist. Look, Edward, I appreciate that it takes great strength and determination for you to resist my blood, I do. I can't even imagine how horrible it must be for you. All I'm asking for is a shot. Just please try. Please. For me."
"And, you have no idea what you are asking of me by turning me down repeatedly. Do you have any idea how it feels to hear say no over and over and over again after you assure me that you love me?"
"Take Emmett's advice, Bella, and do not even think about saying: 'if you love me, you'll have sex with me'. It's not going to work."
"Well, then, what will? Come on, you have had almost a whole freakin' century to learn to control your strength; I think you can handle it."
"And, what the hell do you know?"
"For one, I know that that is a lot more time than Superman had to learn to control his strength. But, he still does it."
"Doesn't make him much of a man, then, does it? Willing to risk the safety of the woman he supposedly loves just for his satisfaction."
I forced a laugh, "Contrary to what you might think, that was what made him a man. He sacrificed something great…for something even greater."
"Is that what you think?" He said, appalled, "That sex is what makes a man a man?"
"Emmett seems to think so."
He rolled his eyes, "Yes, and Emmett…is an idiot. Emmett knows nothing about what really makes a man a man. Being that he is with Rosalie, I should think that that fact should be only too obvious. He is definitely, without a doubt, incredibly selfish when it comes to his desires and the greater good of Emmett. I am the opposite, though. I don't give a damn about my happiness."
"Obviously." I said, bitterly.
"Only yours." He continued, as if I hadn't spoken at all.
I placed my hands on his chest. "Okay, so the only way to make me happy is to--" I smiled suggestively, leaning in to kiss him and sliding my hands down his chest, him stopping me as I reached his pants. Damn it!
He pushed me away and rolled his eyes, "Bella, no! No, no, no, no, no! Oh, my God, what is the matter with you?"
"Why don't you tell me?" I practically yelled.
"No, no…that's my question. What is the matter with me? Why am I so…undesirable; why am I so unwanted; what have I done to deserve to this?"
He shook his head, "No, Bella, you know better than that. You know this has nothing to do with you."
I rolled my eyes, "Translated into: this has everything to do with you."
"You know that is not true."
"Do I?" I challenged, "Do I; really?"
"How many times do I have to tell you? I am only interested in keeping you safe. If I hurt you, I could never live with myself; you know that. If I made even the smallest error in judgment, if I did one tiny thing to hurt you, I would never, in a million years, be able to forgive myself."
"All right, that's it!" I said, angrily, "God, I--what do you want from me?! I mean…do you want to make me cry? Is that what you want? Do you want to see me cry? Because I swear to God, I am this close to--"
I pinched my fingers together, as he pulled me into his arms and held me against him, stroking my hair and rubbing my back. "Shh, shh…calm down. It's okay."
I buried my face in his chest and struggled to not break down sobbing right now. I began trembling in desperation. What was I going to do? I wanted him so bad. I couldn't wait any longer. All kidding aside, I had to have him now. How could he not see it? This was so incredibly unfair of him to do this to me.
"Bella, please…Bella, please--" he said, miserably, kissing my hair before burying his face in it. I struggled to breathe as he tightened his hold on me lovingly and whispered, "I'm sorry, Bella, I'm so sorry."
I shook my head, "No…please don't…don't; it hurts." I pulled away and tried to walk away, "If I can't have all of you, then I don't think I can--" He grabbed my wrist and pulled me into him, kissing me as he held me against him.
I deepened the kiss by standing on my tiptoes as he lowered the blanket, allowing it to drop to the floor.
He grabbed my by my waist and backed me into a wall, pinning me to the wall by my wrists, as he continued to kiss me.
My heart involuntarily sped up and my breathing became ragged as the kisses intensified more and more. I moaned in ecstasy as he tightened his hold on me and my back arched against the wall.
I turned us around and slammed him against the wall, my hands trembling as I removed his shirt.
His chest was heaving as I threw his shirt down to join the blanket on the floor. "Are you sure about this?" He asked, breathlessly.
I answered him with a kiss, wrapping my arms around his neck, burying my fingers in hair, and trailing my hands down his bare back, and his muscles rippled against my hands as he leaned in further towards me.
"Oh…my God!" I managed to gasp, as he began kissing my neck intensely. He picked me up by my waist and managed to set me down on the dresser while simultaneously knocking everything off with his forearm.
He made to tighten his arms around me but accidentally punched the mirror and fragments of glass embedded themselves in the lingerie I was wearing. Oops. He managed to remove the shards one by one with his teeth, without hurting me in the least, struggling to remain playful as he bit me softly every so often.
Oh, God…pain, nothing…if anything, it felt so amazing, that I was quite certain the only death I would have would be from the mere overwhelming sensation of being so aroused.
He ripped off the lingerie, while frenching my neck and clutching me even closer to him.
My hands traced every inch of skin available to me, memorizing it as his lips were memorizing mine.
He hesitated before trailing his parted lips down the skin in between my breasts as my hands slid down to undo his pants. He smiled against my breasts as I did so, and he began sucking softly on the skin there.
Within minutes, we were both completely naked and he gathered me in his arms and gently threw me onto the bed.
He slid up in between my legs and I tightened my legs around him, pressing my inner thighs against his hips, applying more pressure each time, my legs literally trembling out of ecstasy.
He forced one of my legs to stop trembling with his hand, digging his nails into my skin, holding my leg passionately against his hip.
I moaned and pulled him closer to me as he shifted his weight against mine repeatedly, intensifying the pressure more and more each time.
I whimpered and pressed myself further against him, shaking my head from side to side, deliriously.
He reached up to grab the headboard, but it shattered in his hands, making my head hit the wall behind it, but I felt no pain whatsoever. Only overwhelming love and need of him. I had to have him now.
He made to raise his head, but I grabbed it and made to bring it down to mine for a kiss, but I didn't realize I had shifted upward, and I missed, making him accidentally bite my nipple in ecstasy.
I screamed out of delight and pressed his head even further into my breasts. "Bella--" he tried to protest, but I nearly growled myself as I yelled, "Shut up!"
I rolled him over and began smothering his chest and stomach with my lips and tongue and teeth, doing things I had never thought possible, making him lose the will to stop me.
"Bella, Bella, Bella--no, we can't--we have to--oh, my--oh, Bella!" His eyes rolled back into his head in ecstasy as I began biting the distinctions of his six-pack, as hard as I could, considering he could feel no pain from it.
He began laughing hysterically as he choked out, "Well, if that's the way it's going to be--"
He broke himself off to sit us up, grab me by my legs, and throw me down to the foot of the bed, lowering himself on top of me at his incredible rate and lowering his head to my neck with a growl.
"Do it," I urged, "Please. It'll be okay…trust me."
He stiffened up as he bared his teeth and a growl escaped him involuntarily. I pressed his head further against my neck, making him bite me.
I lost all feeling in my entire being, as he began drinking my blood, exercising great caution as he did so. Then, I burst into flames--the whole spontaneous combustion thing finally happening, taking over every fiber of my being and feelings and reactions occurred in my body that I never knew possible--making me scream his name in ecstasy and lose all awareness of anything and everything that was not directly related to him.
Edward pulled away and I could feel a drop of blood roll down my skin in between my breasts and he clutched me to him as he licked it off with the tip of his tongue, before cleaning the wound with his tongue and then sliding up to kiss me.
I slid my hands down his chest to his lower stomach, making him kick a hole in the wall, making sheetrock get strewn about the bed, but we completely ignored it as he pulled away from the kiss, biting my bottom lip, moving it from side to side in between his teeth, before lightly nibbling along my jawbone to my ear and then down the side of my neck to my collarbone.
He tried to pull away again, "Bella, I don't--I don't…know. We shouldn't--" I used every ounce of force I had to pull him back towards me, sliding my leg up against his, shutting him up immediately. "Oh, God, screw it!" He said, as I began kissing his face repeatedly, "God, I love you," he breathed, before kissing me again.
We continued on until I lost consciousness--not strength, not ability, but until I literally fell unconscious with delirium and weakness and UNBELIEVABLE arousal. My God…how the hell did I not die from how incredibly amazing he made me feel? How did I not die from the indescribable joy of finally fulfilling my life's purpose--finally having my Edward in every way possible.
The next day, Edward and I were sitting in the living room--he was on the couch and I was on the floor, sitting in between his legs--and his arms were wrapped around my waist from behind and his chin was resting on the top of my head.
I was chuckling softly as he began trailing his lips down my jawbone to the side of my neck, sucking gently and even frenching the skin every so often. I wrapped my arms around his and chuckled, "Hm…so? Was I right or was I right?"
"Shut up!" He warned, tilting my head back, resting it against his knees, "It was quite a risk, Bella, you're lucky to be alive right now."
"What; this?" I asked, pointing to my neck, where he bit me. "Oh, please, I'll survive. It didn't hurt in the least--as you could tell…all it did was turn me on even more."
"Bella, that is not funny. Don't…do this."
"No, no, no; you don't do this. I know that you are going to try to make an issue out of this, but I assure you, nothing happened. I'm fine; I'm better than fine. My God, I thought I was going to die…from arousal!" I added, before he could twist it around.
He sighed and shook his head, "Yes, I noticed…unfortunately. Why can't you be normal?"
I chuckled once, "Define normal."
"Normal is running away screaming upon meeting a vampire; not having sex with one."
I rolled my eyes, "I never was one for normal; you know that. Besides, if I ran away screaming, I never would've been able to have sex with you. And then I would have no reason to live."
"Can you…cut the drama?"
"Can you for, like, two seconds let me revel in my happiness and not try to ruin it? I swear to you, I'm fine."
He stiffened up and then rolled his eyes, "Fine…but this is so not even close to over. I just…hate it when you're right."
"Mm-hm," I chuckled, as he lowered his lips to mine for a kiss. I deepened it by wrapping one arm awkwardly around his neck from behind and pressing his head further against mine.
My eyes were still closed as he pulled away and it wasn't until he traced my lower lip with his thumb that I opened them, looking up at him to see him staring at me intensely as he did so.
He shook his head, "God…you…are so beautiful."
I opened my mouth to retort when Emmett came in and said, sarcastically, "Aw, thank you, Emmett!"
We both inhaled sharply and glared at him, crossly. "What?" He said, trying to be innocent, "Oh, come on, let's face it. You lovebirds never would've taken flight if it wasn't for me. Oh, and Edward? Saw my room. Are you kiddin'? Alice took Rose out to keep her from seeing it. Otherwise, you'd both be dead. Well, you'd be dead-er." He broke off laughing.
Edward rolled his eyes, "Oh, don't even! I owe you after all the countless times you and Rose trashed my room. How many messes have you left me to clean up?"
Emmett shrugged, "Still…I doubt Rosalie will be as willing to clean up your messes. Though, I'm just here to high-five you, my brothuh!"
He raised his hand and Edward glared at him. "You're right, Emmett. I never did get to thank you properly." He got up and said, "Come here," threateningly, advancing towards him.
"No. No, no. Edward, stand back; I don't wanna hurt you."
"Oh, yeah?" Edward lunged for him, with a growl, knocking him into the other room, making him yell, "Oh, God!"
I rolled my eyes and stood up. Boys will be boys. Oh, my God; were they 12?
Several hours later, I was sitting in the living room with Emmett and Edward, after they had calmed down and Emmett had had a very extremely long talk with Edward, telling him exactly why it was a good thing that we had had sex, and we were just hanging out.
Emmett was now showing us some songs by this group that took songs from the 60s-70s and gave them medical terminology. Emmett was laughing hysterically as we listened to them. "Isn't it hilarious? Oh, man…" he broke off laughing, "I almost died laughing. This is just too damn good, man." He broke off into new fits of laughter, smacking his knee as he did so.
"Yes, Emmett, it's hysterical." Edward said, sarcastically, as the song began playing the chorus: 'Cause waking up is hard to do', and Emmett snapped his fingers.
"Hey, Bella. I will give you $100 right now if you can tell me the real name of this song."
"Breaking up is hard to do; Neil Sedaka." I said, without hesitation.
"WHAT?!" Emmett yelled, shocked, as Edward stifled his laughter. "How did you know that?" He asked, bitterly.
I smiled, "Neil Sedaka? He's, like, my favorite 60s singer. His songs were great."
Edward nodded, in semi-agreement, "I have to agree--he was one of the only artists I could stand in the 60s. He was pretty good."
Emmett mumbled incoherent threats, "…shut up…stupid…gah!" He threw me a 100 and then said, "Screw that crap; I'm out of here."
He walked bitterly out of the room, and I followed him out eagerly, "Emmett! Emmett, wait!"
"Go ahead; gloat!" he said, irritably, turning to face me. "I don't know what I was thinking; you had, like, no life before Edward; of course you know 60s music."
I shook my head, "No, no, Emmett, it's not about…that. Look, I…just want to thank you. For everything. I just want you to know how much it means to me--your helping me. I couldn't have done it without you. It means a lot. Really. Thanks for everything. You totally made my life complete by making this happen."
He nodded and smiled smugly, "Anything for my favorite little sis. Come here, sweetie." He pulled me into a hug and said, "Anytime. Really. I'm here for you. Always. Plus, you know, seemingly endless decades of trying to get Edward to have sex…I finally succeeded. My boy's all growed up!" He said, laughing, and shaking his fist in the air triumphantly.
I rolled my eyes and shook my head, "Gee, thanks. So, what, I'm a trophy or?…"
"Hardly." He said, pulling me into another bear hug, "You are way too good for that, Bella. You know that. Edward's not the only one who needs you, you know. You do know that, right?"
"Yes." I said, smiling. "Thanks, Emmett. You're the best big brother a girl could ask for."
"Aww…stop it some more." He released me and said, "All right, go back to your man. I love ya…sis."
"Love you too." I said, chuckling, as he lightly punched my shoulder again and winked at me.
Then, he turned to leave and I followed, going back into the living room to be with Edward.

Love this Datejust,,looks brand new,highly polished. No regrets on purchase..Accurate timepiece...
The Rolex Datejust watch was for my husband's 50th Birthday, it was so worth the money. The watch is just beautiful, exactly what I wanted. The customer service and shipping coordinator were just the best! I will be back to Bob's Watches, the easiest acquirement I've ever made.
Gorgeous watch which I will be giving to my husband for his 60th birthday in July
Outstanding service and thoughtful staff
I am fortunate to have owned and still own multiple Rolex's. Two (a day-date and the watch in question) were purchased from Bob's. It was in fact, the reputation of Bob's that lead me to purchase the day-date in 2016. The pros are that I trust you and expect a watch consistent with your reputation.
To the staff at Bob's watches Excelent time piece and condition. The process was super easy and I just can't express how beautiful this watch is Thank you
The picture did not do this watch justice! I lost my Data Just I had for 20 years. Wore it every day.This watch will help ease the pain.
No problems Here! Everything went smoothly, very nice watch at a good price.
Beautiful Watch, Fast and Amazing Customer Service and Shipping
Exact replacement of my stolen watch in excellent condition. So far, it is keeping time perfectly.
Watch is absolutely beautiful. It is in excellent condition just as it was stated in the description. It looks like it has rarely been worn. The process of buying and receiving the time piece was a pleasure. I would recommend Bob's Watches and will be a returning customer.
Looks brand new
It doesn't look like a twenty-eight-year-old watch
I found the exact model and dial Rolex that I have been looking for for 2 years. I got a full set with box and papers and it looks brand new! Would highly recommend Bobs Watches!
Great watch, prompt service! It was better than I had thought from Bob's Watches! Thank you!

Just got this watch by FedEx which was here exactly when they said it would be. Diggin it! Honestly, I wonder if the former owner put it in a safe for 20 years and never wore it. All original packaging in pristine condition, with original documentation and even strings. I'll wear if for next two days to test it out, but unless I'm really surprised by it keeping bad time, I am one happy customer

Italy and the European Commission have agreed that Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena will have to carry out a larger-than-expected capital hike, cut costs and reduce its large government bond holdings in order to win a EU green light for state aid, officials said on Saturday.
Rome has offered 4.1 billion euros of state loans to Monte Paschi , Italy's No.3 bank, in order to prop the lender, which has a weak capital position following a derivatives scandal and big Italian bond investments.
Continue Reading Below
European Competition Commissioner Joaquin Almunia and Economy Minister Fabrizio Saccomanni reached a broad political agreement on Monte Paschi at a meeting on the sidelines of a business gathering in Cernobbio, on the shores of Lake Como.
Almunia told a news conference he expected the EU's executive to formally give its green light to the state aid package for Monte Paschi over the next two months, once the tougher conditions are incorporated into the restructuring plan.
"We have reached a political agreement," Almunia said.
Siena-based Monte Paschi, which says it is the oldest bank in the world, had originally planned a capital increase of 1 billion euros.
That figure looks set to rise but Almunia declined to give the exact amount of the new, larger capital increase.
Sources familiar with the situation told Reuters in June that the bank's management was considering doubling the planned cap hike to 2 billion euros.
Contrary to other European countries, Italy has so far avoided a nationalisation of weak banks.
Almunia said Monte Paschi would carry out its capital increase in the 12 months following the approval of the amended turnaround programme.
"If the capital increase fails, the condition will be the conversion of state aid in bank shares," Almunia said.
Monte Paschi had 29 billion euros of government bonds at end June, one of the largest bond portfolios in Italy.
Rome has previously opposed suggestions the bonds would have to be sold immediately. But Almunia said on Saturday any bond sale would be gradual and that the bank will become viable once the new restructuring plan is implemented.

Movers Articles
How to Find a Good Moving Company
If you need a moving company, you want one that provides reasonable and reliable pricing, takes good care of your belongings, takes care of both the home you're leaving and the home you're moving into, and does the job on time. Our ratings of area moving companies will steer you to an outfit that can do it.
How to Get a Good Price from a Moving Company
Good service is only part of the equation—you also want a good price. You'll find tremendous price differences from equally reliable moving companies.
Moving Industry Basics
To deal effectively with moving companies, it helps to know how the industry works. A key is to know about the differences between local moves and long-distance moves.
Beware of Moving Brokers
In recent years, more and more moving brokers have sprung up on the Web. These companies usually do not own or operate any trucks, or employ movers; they simply collect a deposit and arrange for a moving company to handle your move. The problem with such arrangements is that you have no control over who actually performs the work.
How to Plan a Move
Invite several movers to your home to plan the best way to do your move and quote prices. But before you have anyone out, think about what services you'll want and need; then refine your plans as you learn more about your options and likely costs.
How to Make Sure Things Go Smoothly
Our ratings of area movers will help you select a good one. But getting the best possible service from the one you choose still requires a good deal of effort.
Tips for a Do-It-Yourself Move
Moving yourself is hard work, but it does have certain advantages over hiring a mover: It's much cheaper, you can take special care with prized belongings, and you can move when you want.
How to Prepare for a Move
The American Moving and Storage Association recommends the following steps as preparation for moving day.
Coverage for Loss and Damage During a Move
Your homeowners insurance policy may cover losses from specified risks such as fire and theft while your goods are moved. But the policy probably won't cover the types of damage likely to be caused by a mover.

Group Opposing New Walmart Sues the City of Sioux Falls
Opponents of a new Walmart in Sioux Falls have sued the city in an attempt to stop the new store from being built. The group - Save Our Neighborhood - says that the proposed store was illegally annexed into the city limits.
They argue that the city should have obtained approval from Lincoln County before they annexed the land. Dana Palmer, a spokeswoman for the group, says the City Council has not listened to the concerns of local residents who don't want the store.
The city did not comment on the pending litigation, but did say that the annexation did not require approval if the property owner agrees to the move.
A vote on the rezoning of the annexed land is scheduled for next month.

Here we are, at the 15th Mixology Monday! This month's host, Matt from My Bar Your Bar, chose as his theme tequila.
Now, I'm really just getting used to tequila. Jen and I don't drink it often, so I'm still learning how it plays with other flavors. With that in mind, I wanted a simple drink, one that would allow me to test and tinker without having four or more ingredients to futz with.
So I went with the classic margarita, but I swapped out the triple sec for some pear liqueur. I wanted to just switch fruits–pear for orange–and see how it worked. And, in the end, we liked it. Jen made up a batch of guacamole and we sat out back on a sunny Sunday with icy drinks, chips, and guac.
That's livin'.
Photo by Jennifer Hess.
- 2 oz. tequila
- 1 oz. fresh lime juice
- ¾ oz. pear liqueur (I used Mathilde)
Technique: Shake over ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass, or use twice the ingredients, as I did, and strain into an ice-filled Old Fashioned glass.
