Breaking one of the most important codes of friendship, Kim has been THROWING herself at Eduardo Cruz - the boyfriend of her best friend, Eva Longoria. Through a friend, Eva found out about their steamy secret romance - but selfish Kim doesn't care.

A close friend revealed: "Kris is constantly telling Khloe that marital conflicts equals ratings!

But the 56 year-old seems unaware of the damage she is actually doing to her daughter's marriage as her NBA star husband's career begins to suffer due to his role in the reality TV drama.
"Kris is blind to the fact that Khloe and Lamar's relationship is suffering because of reality TV," the source revealed, "Lamar is a pretty laid back person but he has had enough.

During a perfectly ordinary journey, something very strange happened to a young man named Alvin, who was headed through a rainforest on the way to the hometown of his late mother. He suddenly hears singing from out of nowhere. He struggles on to the decayed ruins of a temple, and there he meets a young lady named Sefina, who is praying for something. Sephina is waiting for a natural Zilphixy (a small dragon-like being) to appear to her. In the past, a natural Zilphixy was created to fit a person on his or her birth, but now a mechanical Zilphixy is used as a substitute. Sefina's wish is heard, and a Zilphixy appears in a flash of light. From there, Alvin and Sephina's story begins.

External otitis and its treatment. Is a group III steroid without antibiotics sufficient therapy? – Experimental and clinical studies
Per Emgård, Department of Otorhinolaryngology, University of Umeå and Ystad Hospital, Umeå and Ystad, Sweden
External otitis is one of the most common ear, nose and throat (ENT) diagnoses in out-patient clinics. The clinical course of external otitis includes itching, pain, redness, swelling and effusion of the external auditory canal (EAC) with normal tympanic membrane status. The inflammatory condition is often associated with infection by bacteria, e.g. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, or skin bacteria such as Staphylococcus species. Fungi are present only in a low percentage of cases and if present Candida albicans infection is the most frequent in northern countries such as Sweden and the UK. Topical therapy is recommended in most countries and dominates the therapy in most studies. Topical drugs used are usually a combination of antibiotics and a steroid. However, external otitis is treated with surprisingly many strategies – eleven different ones in Sweden, for example, and 18 in the UK.
The aims of the present studies were to –
-establish an animal model, infected and uninfected, suitable for testing various treatment strategies of external otitis; and
-perform a clinical study in patients to elucidate whether a group III steroid alone is as efficient for treatment of external otitis as is the commonly used topical drug containing a combination of a steroid and antibiotics.
The animal model was established through mechanical irritation of the external ear canal skin of Sprague-Dawley rats. An evaluation scale for characterization of the clinical status of the ear canal was introduced, recording redness, swelling and occurrence of effusion in a standardized way. Specimens of the ear canal skin were analysed by histological techniques. A topical solution of 0.05% bethametasone dipropionate (BD) was compared with a 1% hydrocortisone solution with antibiotics oxytetracycline and polymyxin B added (HCPB), administered in the external otitis model infected or non-infected with bacteria (P. aeruginosa) and a fungus (C. albicans).
The same drugs were tested in a randomized parallel-group multi-centre study in 51 patients. The clinical status of the external otitis patients was evaluated on a similar scale as used in the animal model. Early normalization of the ear canal skin status and frequency of relapses during the 6-month follow-up period were used as end-points of the study.
The studies showed the following:
-An animal model for external otitis, infected or uninfected, could be established.
-A new scale for evaluation of the external ear canal status with regard to redness, swelling and occurrence of effusion was introduced for the animal model as well as for the investigations in patients.
-Treatment with a group III steroid topical solution without antibiotics was superior to treatment with a group I steroid with antibiotics added in achieving resolution of external otitis.
-The effectiveness of the topical drugs in the clinical studies in external otitis patients was similar to that in animal external otitis models.
We conclude that a group III steroid solution cures external otitis more effectively than does a solution containing a group I steroid combined with antibiotics, whether infected by bacteria or by fungi. No difference was evident regarding adverse effects. Furthermore, costs favour a solution without any antibiotic components. In view of these observations a group III steroid solution is preferred for remedy of external otitis in the clinical situation.
Key words: external otitis, external auditory canal (EAC), animal model, treatment, betamethasone, hydrocortisone, antibiotics, human study, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans.
External otitis was produced in 12 Sprague-Dawley rats by mechanical stimulation through a plastic micropipette inserted into the right external auditory canal (EAC). The EAC was later evaluated regarding the color of the skin, swelling and the presence of fluid. Within 1 day all rats developed an external otitis that was characterized by a red, swollen ear canal containing an opalescent fluid. The tympanic membrane and middle ear cavity appeared to be normal. No healed EACs were seen within the initial 10 days of follow-up and 4 of 6 rats still exhibited external otitis at day 21. Light microscopy of biopsy specimens revealed pronounced edema of the dermis of the ear canal. Mast cells were more numerous in the early phase of the otitis present, although very few inflammatory cells were found in tissues despite the marked inflammatory reaction produced. Findings show that this animal model for external otitis can be used to investigate pathogenesis as well as to test various treatment strategies.
In a prospective multicenter, randomized, double-masked trial, 30 patients with external otitis received betamethasone dipropionate in a 0.05% solution for 11 days. Fifty percent of the patients were assigned randomly to receive concomitant treatment with loratadine to help control itching, and 50% received placebo. The status of the external auditory canal (EAC) was assessed on days 0, 3, 7, 11, and 21 according to a new scoring system that graded color, the extension of redness outside the EAC, swelling, and effusion. Eighteen patients underwent sampling for a bacteriologic culture at the start of treatment; 14 cultures showed positive findings. The EAC status improved rapidly, and by day 11 it was almost normal in all patients. Pain and sleep disturbances disappeared by day 7; at which point itching was either nonexistent or mild. All patients were able to resume work after 3 days of treatment. At the end of the study, 29 (97%) of the 30 patients were cured. The addition of loratadine to the treatment did not improve results significantly. External otitis is generally treated with a combination of a steroid and an antibiotic. Results of this study suggest that external otitis, whether culture-positive or not, can be cured using a group III steroid alone.
In an animal external otitis model, inflammatory reactions were evoked by mechanical stimulation of the rat ear canal skin. The rats were in four groups: group A treated with a group III steroid, betamethasone dipropionate; group B treated with hydrocortisone combined with oxytetracycline; group C treated with hydrocortisone with oxytetracycline and polymyxin B added; Group D, the controls, treated with saline. All rats were observed otomicroscopically daily during the first 7 days after treatment and then on days 10 and 20. A standardized scoring system was used to evaluate colour, swelling and effusion of the ear canal. Histological specimens were collected on days 3, 7, 10 and 20. The most rapid improvement in the ear canal status occurred in the animals treated with betamethasone dipropionate. The inflammatory reaction of the ear canal skin caused by mechanical stimulation was characterized by oedema of the stroma but few inflammatory cells were present. The surface of the epithelium towards the connective tissue layer was smooth in the group III-treated animals (group A) whereas other groups had irregularities of the basal membrane. From this study it is inferred that the group III steroid betamethasone dipropionate alone heals experimentally induced external otitis more rapidly than hydrocortisone with oxytetracycline, with or without polymyxin B. These findings should be considered in future clinical trials of external otitis.
CONCLUSIONS: Irrespective of the microbial agent, group III steroid solution cured external otitis efficiently in a rat model. The addition of antibiotic components to steroid solutions for the treatment of external otitis is of questionable validity. OBJECTIVE: External otitis, caused by infection with either Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Candida albicans, was established in a rat model and the treatment efficacy of a group III steroid solution was studied. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Three treatments were studied: (i) a group III steroid solution; (ii) a group I steroid combined with two antibiotic components; and (iii) a saline solution. A scoring scale was used to evaluate the characteristics of the ear canal skin. Bacteriological and fungal samples were collected for culturing and ear canal skin biopsies were taken for structural analyses. RESULTS: It was possible to cause P. aeruginosa and C. albicans infections in an animal model. In the P. aeruginosa-infected animals, only the group III steroid treatment cured all the animals. In the C. albicans-infected animals, group III steroid treatment resolved external otitis faster than the other treatment modalities.
The present study was undertaken to compare the clinical benefits of prescribing ear drops containing 0.05% solution of betamethasone dipropionate (BD), and ear drops containing hydrocortisone with oxytetracycline hydrochloride and polymyxin B (HCPB), for topical treatment of external otitis. Fifty-one patients were enrolled in this open randomized, parallel-group, multicentre study, performed in eight different ENT departments. The patients were randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups: BD (n = 26) and HCPB (n = 25). Only ENT specialists investigated the patients. Bacterial and fungal cultures were raised on days 1 and 11, using swabbed material from ear canals. Twice daily the patients recorded their symptoms during the acute phase, using special diary cards.BD proved a significantly more effective cure than HCPB during the acute phase of external otitis and afforded a lower relapse frequency during a six-month follow-up period. The patients of the BD group were significantly less troubled by itching (p < 0.01) than those in the HCPB group. On day 11, at the end of the acute phase, growth of bacteria (p = 0.03) and fungi (p < 0.01) was less frequent in the BD group than in the HCPB group. No serious adverse events occurred, and those minor events observed were comparable between the two groups.Our conclusion is that the group III steroid solution, BD, cured the external otitis more effectively than did the HCPB solution, whether infected by bacteria or by fungi. No difference was evident regarding adverse effects. Furthermore, price favours a solution without any antibiotic component. In view of these observations, a group III steroid solution ought to be the preferred remedy for external otitis, whether infected or not.

Have you ever gotten an email message that looked exactly like it came from your bank or eBay asking you to click on something? Often it is written in a way that makes you think it is an urgent problem. DON'T click. These messages are called "phishing". They are sent out fraudulently to learn information from you. They are NOT sent from your bank or eBay. If you click on the link you may be allowing a virus to have access to your computer. These messages also sometimes ask for private information (like bank account numbers).
One common problem is that some virus steals all of the email addresses in your friend's contacts. The virus then sends a message to ALL of those people (including you) with a link to click on. It may say that it is from your best friend. It might say something generic in the subject line like "this is funny" or "you will like this". Even the URL may look innocent. Any mail that comes from your friend with only a link do not click on it is probably a scam.
How can you be sure that it is not really your bank?
Here are some steps to take that will protect you from accidentally giving away information or access to your computer.
1. Read ALL email skeptically. Even if it says it is from your friend do not assume it is valid if it seems suspicious. Do NOT automatically, without thinking, click on anything.
2. Before you click call your friend, the airline, your bank or whoever it says it is from to be sure it is authentic.
3. Know that companies and banks are aware of these problems and will never ask for personnel information through email. Most of them have links on their websites where you can report any phishing attacks you have received.
4. You can usually run your mouse over a link or an email address and in the bottom left hand corner of the screen a box will appear that shows what code is underneath the words you are seeing. The code should match the words you see if it is legitimate.
5. Look at the email address it was sent from. Often the email address is very close to the one that the company uses, but not quite the same. For example it might say that it is from firstname.lastname@example.com which would lead you to think it is from American Airlines, but their address is aa.com.
Most email is legitimate. It is a good way to communicate, but it is wise to be skeptical. Don't let someone who is phishing catch you!

Dear Kid,
It's that time of year (and by "that time of year" I mean final exams) when Alarm clocks take on a whole new meaning.
And of course by "alarm clock" I mean the alarm setting on your Phone because who has an alarm clock these days? (Besides me, I mean.)
The rules for alarms change during exam week (which isn't exactly a week, but whatever).
During most of the year: phone near the bed, the better to text instantly. During exams: phone on the far side of the room to lessen the risk of turning off the alarm and going back to sleep.
During most of the year: Alarm Volume Set on "wake me up." During exams: alarm volume set on "the world is about to implode so GET UP NOW!"
During most of the year: pretty sure the phone is charged. During exams: double check the level of battery power—16 times before bed.
During most of the year: alarm remains set the same way. During exams: the schedule changes, so the alarm settings must change. Which means you have to check that you set it for AM, not PM. And that you got the time right. And that you turned it on. And that you didn't accidentally turn it off when you checked to see that you had turned it on.
During most of the year: one alarm is sufficient. During exams: alarms set at 5 minute intervals for at least 40 minutes to ensure that even if you sleep through one, you'll get up at the next one.
During most of the year: response to alarm going off is (unprintable). During exams: response to alarm going off is Hallelujah! I didn't miss the final!
Love, Mom

I love a good sandwich from time to time - one loaded with so much "stuff" you can hardly fit it in your mouth. As I was perusing my pantry and fridge last week, I found that I had the perfect ingredients on hand to make an out of this world sandwich creation. It's not often that that happens - jackpot!
Get a load of this - grilled chicken with avocado, roasted red pepper, crispy prosciutto, and havarti all atop a fresh demi french baguette, placed under the broiler for about 5 minutes just so the havarti is melted and then topped with a tossed fresh greens mix. Are you still with me? Hope so because you have to make this. It's a great option when a burger or a brat just doesn't sound good.
Of course you can substitute ingredients to suit your tastes - swap out chicken for grilled shrimp or go all veggie and do portabello mushroom instead. Use slow roasted tomatoes or slather the bread with pesto if desired. There are a million options here, that's why sandwiches are great. Have fun with it!
I will leave you with a few pictures of cabin life in northern Minnesota - we spent the long holiday weekend at the cabin again. Perfect weather for boating and swimming in the lakes. I hope you all enjoyed your 4th of July!
Happy Eating!
|Lily says, "Happy 4th of July!"
|My husband and me enjoying a day on the lake.
Recipe by A Toast to Taste
Photos by A Toast to Taste
Ingredients Needed (for 2 sandwiches):
2 fresh demi french baguettes, sliced in half lengthwise
2 grilled chicken breasts, cut into strips
1 avocado, pit and skin removed, sliced thin
1/4 cup roasted red peppers
4 slices prosciutto, cooked until crisp
4 slices havarti cheese
1 large handful mixed greens
1 Tbsp olive oil
splash of balsamic vinegar
Preheat oven to broil setting. My oven has a high and low broiler setting, I set mine on low. Make sure your rack is at the highest level it can go. Line a baking sheet with foil and place baking rack on top.
Place sliced baguettes on baking rack, drizzle with a little olive oil. Top the bottom halves with avocado slices, followed by the sliced chicken, roasted red pepper, crispy prosciutto, and finally the cheese slices (2 per sandwich). Place under broiler for about 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
While the sandwich is in the oven, prepare the mixed greens by taking a large handful of greens and tossing with olive oil and a splash of balsamic vinegar in a small bowl. Set aside.
Remove sandwiches from oven, let sit for one minute. Top with greens and enjoy!

text: Okay, so I bought a 20" iMac a week ago. I previously had a 1.5 17" Powerbook. Now, the Powerbook was my first mac ever. It ran great, until I started editing video, then it ran like a dog with only 2 legs. So, I bought the iMac in hopes that I'd be able to edit video faster. So far, this new 2.0 ghz G5 computer feels slower then my 1.5 G4. Now, I do only have 512 gig of ram in this new one, which WILL be upgraded to 2 gigs soon. The powerbook had 1 gig of ram in it. Is this why it feels slower? Does RAM really make it computer feel faster? You have to understand, I'm from the Windows world, and from my experience going from 512 to 2 gigs in windows doesn't make the computer feel faster because Windows doesn't hog resources like OS X. I guess I just expected the G5 to feel faster then a G4, but it doesn't to me...yet. I'm trying to be optimistic.

I am Anupam and I am looking for a Network/Web Engineer, who can tell me these things:
1) What hardware do I need to establish my own Network that will act as a Wireless Internet/Intranet Service Provider.
2) What short/Medium and Long Range Solutions can I use?
For Short to Medium Range I have currently looked at Sector antennas/Strix Wireless solutions as well as Motorola NLOS System, all seem to be viable solutions but I need expert advice.
For Long Range Solutions I have looked at Aprisa XE/SE for sending the signal to a remote location from the Network Operating Center, at 100km distances, but I need more than that, and not VSATs...
We are looking to set up a Wireless Internet Service Porvider all over the Country and are looking for experts in the field of this technology to help us find apporpriate solutions.
We are looking at setting up the Network for that we need to know what all Hardware we need, then we need our Short/Medium and Long Range Wireless Solutions and how they can be combined.
If interested mail me at <EMAIL SNIPPED>
Let me know what you can! Thank You!

How To avoid talking to your uber driver
We love Uber, but if there's one thing we could change, it would be the overly chatty drivers. Thankfully, this video provides you with several options to avoid those awkward conversations.
Baby Driver in Real Life
A baby Uber driver seems like a good idea, but just remember: they're not licensed, they can't see over the steering wheel, and they have no problem running over their younger siblings. We have yet to see a baby Uber driver with more than a two-star review.

It was an amazing thing to experience a weekend full of services at Second Baptist Houston with teenagers leading the way. Our students put in countless hours of preparation and prayer getting ready for the weekend and their efforts paid off big time because God used each and every one of them in a tremendous way as they led our services.
Josh Price and the Student Ministry Band showed up big for Youth Weekend. They played all 3 services at Second Baptist Houston and were phenomenal. Playing with Josh were (from the left) Will Story; bass, Travis Thompson; keys, Drew Story; lead guitar, Avery Csorba; vocals, Rey Calderon; rhythm guitar, Matt Reynolds; synth & keys, and Andy Calderon; drums.
The Preachers for Youth Weekend were Chris Duncan, Callie Lowe, Trevor Hanson and Paige Warren. There were many other students who served as Ushers and Greeters. Teenagers did the Welcome, the Prayers on the Platform... there was even a Teenager in every Bible Study class at Second this weekend, sharing their testimonies and answering questions about their walk with Christ. There were literally hundreds of teenagers across our campus serving during Youth Weekend and it was an amazing thing to see! The Quintet from Second Baptist School did an amazing job signing in all of our venues at Woodway. The group consisted of Ryan Hendrick, Matty Kerns, Eric Bahorich, John Wallace and Tyler Lohse.

Of course find a beach or swimming hole without gators or sharks. ;)
Let your dog pace himself, start off with short exercise sessions until he has built up stamina. Do NOT allow him to gulp down tons of water after (smaller amounts of water until he is cooled down), and do not exercise until at least 2 hrs after feeding, nor feed right after.
by Q Man on 06 November 2017 - 23:11
You would have to find a pool that you can swim your dog in...The Beach is good to run your dog...even in the VERY shallow water (only your feet should be allowed in the water)...

I had to force myself out of bed. It would have been ever so easy to sleep in, but I could tell by the commotion that was going on upstairs that the Catelliers were already out and about.
My foot fell out of bed, and was followed by my leg, and then by my tired body. After I managed to stand up and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes, I headed upstairs into the morning light.
Doris Catellier busied herself in the kitchen making Downey and I another incredible meal. The Catellier kids were getting ready to head out for school and Ron was leaving for work. After the proper goodbyes to Ron and the kids, they were off. Downey and I were left with Dorris for breakfast.
Maybe French Canadian families are all very similar, but having breakfast with Doris made me feel as though I was back home having breakfast with my own mother. Dorris was so kind and concerned. She made sure we would be having a safe journey and asked all the questions a concerned mother would ask. When it was finally time to leave I found myself wanting to stay because it felt like home.
Downey and I were on the number 2 highway from Red Deer to Calgary for about ten minutes when my bike stared to break down. The first bike malfunction of the day was one of my rear spokes snapping. It turns out the extra weight from the food that had been given to us by the Marchands and Catelliers had been just a tad too much strain. Therefore, we found ourselves not only repairing our bikes, but also repacking bags and looking for ways to shed weight that wouldn't include leaving our precious "Pop Tarts" behind.
About half an hour after our first set of repairs came a blown out back tire. The back rear tire was punctured by a staple.
An hour after that repair came another broken spoke, after that another blown out back tire due to a pin (who throws this stuff on the highway?) and finally another broken spoke.
My back tire was now rolling in such a wavy uneasy way that I had to take off the back brake just to continue moving forward. With our repair kits becoming depleted and my spokes constantly snapping, I decided it would only be a matter of time before my back tire would become completly useless and I would have no choice but to thumb a ride. Time was not on my side, so I opted to leave Downey in the wake of my dusty trail and peddle as fast as I could to Calgary.
At some point in the day, the Alberta sky changed from burning hot sun to pelting hail. The change must have taken place within the span of half an hour, and ended just as fast. I was suprised at the speed of change in weather. It had not been like this since our journey between Lake Louise and High Beauty Creek, and that was in the heart of the Rockies. When the hail hit, I found myself on the highway with nothing but fields in sight, no bridges... no cover. There was no other option available to me, so I was forced to bike through the hail. All I could do was shrivel up into a tiny human squiggly ball and try to protect as much of myself as possible while mother nature pulverised me with penny-sized balls of ice. The quickness of the changes in wheather, and the change in the mood of our environment is proof enough to me that nature is a woman.
Downey was lucky enough to be near a farm-like building when the hail hit. He biked over to the house on the property, ran over to their front door and knocked. It was answered by a man in cowboy boots who had spent his share of years on this earth. Downey asked him if it would be alright if he grabbed his bike and waited out the foul weather in the farm's building near the highway. The man just looked at Downey blankly and without breaking the slightest smile or batting an eyelash said:
"You can stay in the shed. But if you steal anything... I'll kill you."
So Downey uneasily grabbed his bike and made his way to the shed. He mentality made note not to pick anything up in the shed or disturb any object regardless of its interest.
Downey did not know it yet, but this farm existed for a rather intersting reason. By impregnating horses, collecting the urine from pregnant horses, and then selling that urine for a profit to pharmaceutical companies, Downey had ended up on a PMU farm. Most interresting of all is the part of the farm that Downey ended up in. Of all places, Michael "the city slicker" Downey, ended up in the place where they artificially inseminate horses. Downey can't recal all of what he saw in that shed, nor does he want too, but by what I can gather about the tools they used in that shed, I don't think the temptation of theft would have come over anyone.
While Downey waited out the hail in the horse love shack, I continued to peddle. Downey and I got seperated by so many miles that we did not see each other until 11pm that night. I managed to push myself and my dilapitated bike to my final destination in Calgary. In the heart of the city was the home of Roger and his family.
Roger has been a number of things in his lifetime. He has been a long distance trucker, an ice road trucker, he has logged lumber and moved all kinds of cargo. He is a father, a husband and this year he was the ALS embasador at the annual ALS walk.
Roger was diagnosed with ALS about two years ago. He gets around in a wheelchair but his personality is in great shape. Roger is such a nice man with such a beautiful family that I was pained to hear that he was a rough riders fan. Its a shame, but I suppose nobody is perfect.
Roger and his wife got some great greek food for Downey and I. They asked me where Downey was and I told them I had no idea, the last time I saw him was hours ago before the hail storm hit. Of all the emotions I was feeling at that moment, I definatly did not feel disapointment that Downey would not be joining us. All I felt was excitment that there would be more food for me.
After supper, Roger's seven year old son decided he would try and teach me how to play Nintendo Wii. After spending the next half an hour losing game after game to a seven year old, I think I had learned a new level of humility and decided to retire my gaming career.
At around 11pm Downey rolled on in. After Roger and his wife gave Michael and I a couple of their specially blended drink called "Irish blueberry tea" Downey and I woosily retreated to our rooms an fell into a deep sleep.

- The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater. I have already read it more than once. It is a book that you can read one page and you are sucked back in again.
- Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein. This book begs to be re-read so you can see all the clues leading to the big reveal that you missed. Ok, maybe you didn't miss it, but I did. This book is sneaky like a spy. (Pun intended)
- Dragon Singer by Anne McCaffery. I LOVE when Menolly goes to Harper Hall. It is dragons + boarding school. For the win.
- Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta. Love it, BOUGHT IT. Like the rest of the planet. It is amazing.
- Chime by Franny Billingsley. More people should read this. BOUGHT IT.
- The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson. Love, BOUGHT IT.
- The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. Because CC read them so so so fast, and in such a short amount of time,she is sure she missed things.
- 13 year old CC would have said Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingles Wilder. These books were read over and over. Maple Sugar candy in snow? Pigs bladder balloons? ( on second though..who put their mouth to that to blow it up?) "Too young for me now, but on an island, maybe again." -CC
- Sookie Stackhouse, all of them, by Charlaine Harris. "Oh wait, I have done this, during heat waves, during snow storms, and once during a breakup. Thank you Sookie." -CC

Alice @ Alice in Readerland
Okay, I think Little House on the Prairie is more applicable to surviving than one might first think, so good call there. I'm also going to give you bonus points for The Hunger Games trilogy because, really, is there anything better? Don't answer that (let me have my moment). Ah, I'd certainly take the first, I dunno, 5 or 6 books of the Sookie Stackhouse series but after that, it's all the same to me. I'd be much happier with True Blood (the TV show) over the series anyday.ReplyDelete
I've reread The Scorpio Races already too! Plus, it might make you think islands were pretty or alluring or mysterious! I like that!ReplyDelete
Oh my goodness, yes to Little House on the Prairie! Awesome pick. Great list!ReplyDelete
Oo, I completely forgot Pern books, how could?? Great list!ReplyDelete

Sat Feb 16, 2013 11:48 pm
A young man had found a secluded section of England with the intention of summoning a long dead heroic spirit to the present. He had even managed to obtain an item required as the catalyst to summon the specific spirit in his mind. He pulled out a container that had the substance he would use to draw the circle in which the spirit would be summoned.. and after painstakingly drawing it over the length of an hour he had finished.
Thus he stood and began his incantation. He was but a mere human with no real power of his own..however this summon did not rely on his own power but the words he spoke and the item he had obtain.. The Holy Grail, the very item he summoned this spirit to help him obtain, was the power source for the actual summoning. He put a hand up and began speaking in a somewhat loud and somewhat hushed voice as he tried to be secretive with his actions.
"A base of silver and iron."
"A foundation of stone, and the Archduke of Contracts."
"A wall to block the falling wind the gates at the cardinal directions close. from the crown come forth and follow the forked road leading to the kingdom."
"Heed my words. My will creates your body, and your sword creates my destiny."
"If you heed the Grail's call and obey my will and reason, then answer me!"
"I hereby swear that I shall be all the good in the world. That I shall defeat all evil in the world."
"You, Seven Heavens, shrouded by the three great words of power, come forth from the circle of inhibition..."
"Guardian of the Scales!"
With it spoken a large blast of energy and light erupted upwards and outwards from the Circle.. when it faded the boy was stunned for what he saw was a woman clad in armor instead of a man. He didn't make any mistakes..which meant somehow..this..was King Arthur.. the legendary hero who wielded Excalibur..but..how?
She opened her eyes and realized exactly what was going on..due to being imparted "modern" knowledge by the Grail to prevent cultural shock and such.
"You who have summoned me forth.. I hereby answer your call and vow to help you in your quest."
Unfortunately.. the young man's antics did not go unnoticed.. such a large energy burst drew attention from someone.. though neither of them were currently aware of this.
"..You are...King Arthur?"
the boy managed to say while still stunned at the fact he was talking to a woman. Not that he doubted her power or anything but.. King Arthur was a guy by the accounts of history.
"I am.. ...was.. King of Britain yes.. Though to hide my gender Merlin and my Father devised a plan to allow me to take the throne.. thus "Arthur" was created.. However.. to hide my identity and to keep Arthur as the name for the King of Britain.. you shall call me Saber.."
She was pretty nice about it..though she was annoyed the boy kept staring at her with a stunned look on his face..she didn't let it show though.
"Thats kind of a surprise..not that that is a bad thing I mean."
He said while rubbing the back of his head,
"My name is Ryuuda Lanztel. I am indeed the one who summoned you.. but it seems something went wrong with the summoning.."
He stated flatly as he looked at his now bare right hand,
"Apparently the command seals i have are gone.. I feel their magic on you however.. I do not understand how this could have happened. But as long as you and I both seek the same thing you don't mind if I tag along do you?"
"I do not mind. It is because of you I have the chance to seek the Grail at this time."
She changed her armored appearance to one of a tuxedo wearer in a flash of light and energy before continuing to speak,
"Though this is not the first time I have tried for the Grail in this Era.. It is the first time I cannot sense other heroic spirits.. Do you happen to know why?"
Ryuuda looked a bit nervous when asked that question,
"well..yes and no.. This is not a Holy Grail War.. there hasn't been one for over a hundred years.. But I tried the summoning to see if the Grail still existed and here you are.. proof that is does still exist somewhere in the world.."
He rubbed the back of his head again and sighed,
"Unfortunately not having other Heroic Spirits to fight will not make this any easier..there are plenty of people as strong as the heroic servants were nowadays.. and if they catch wind of what we seek they will probably try to get in the way for their own selfish wants."
"Hrm.. We will deal with anyone who proclaims themselves to be our foe in due time.. For now since there are no set rules to obtaining the Grail we should just look for it across the world.."
Saber looked around and was suddenly very pleased.. The Grail had decided to be very very generous and create the Motorcycle Saber had used in the past during her summoning as it was sitting nearby.
"But first.. I need to rest.. apparently more than just the command seals went wrong during my summoning.. I am low on energy..and I apparently generate my own instead of you supplying it.."
He ran to the makeshift altar nearby and grabbed Avalon from it,
"Here this should help immensely. This is yours isn't it? It's how I was able to call for you specifically."
and he handed it over.
"Avalon.. This will make things much easier.. Thank you. I will still need time to regain my energy though.. So we will wait here for now.."
She took it..summoned excalibur in her hand..sheathed it..and both disappeared from sight and sensing until she would call for them again but remained as if they were still on her person.
"I don't think we should stay here too long.. I'm sure the summoning caught alot of attention.."
"Very well.. I only need a few minutes..we can leave as soon as I've recovered a bit more.."

A young man was walking down the streets of England. He wore a black Italian style formal suit with a yellow dress shirt and black tie. He wore a fedora on his head with a bright yellow ribbon wrapped around. The man let out a small sigh.
"Why did I have to be sent here"
he mumbled to himself, a raspy hush sound replied.
"yea yea"
he shook his head, a thick Italian accent still prominent even though he spent years in American under the coalition. He never agreed to much with their methods, he didn't care about Hollow, Bount, Arrancar, Shinigami. They were all living to him, what did it matter their race. The world these days was filled with racism to everyone it was annoying.
It was a foggy night on England, as it always is. The damp air filled the air around them as an explosion was heard from a distance the suited man twisted around at break neck speed, he had the normal reaction to an odd explosion in the distance. However the sword on his back had a completely different reaction, well odd enough for a sword to react as well, but it began to tremble on the gentleman's back.
"Hey, everything alright back there?"
he looked over his shoulder, a thick black like smoke began to rise from the sword.
"Guess we really should check this out."
the man said and with that ran towards the explosion site.
When he got about ten feet from the building. The sword on his back couldn't take the tension anymore. It flung off the mans back into the window of the building fuming black smoke. However when it hit through the other side it was no longer just a sword. A full sized man suited in pitch black armor with glowing red eyes crashed onto the ground and didn't stop moving. It busted through the wall where the two people were in the room and completely ignored the boy sitting there. It stared directly at the Female there breathing heavily with rage.
Back at the entrance the man was getting up from being used as a springboard.
"Holy shit"
he muttered as he hopped in through the same hole his weapon broke through. He heard a roar from the iron suit
"Lancelot what the hell are you doing!!"
he shouted and rushed into the room. The Knight already had two weapons materialized in his hands, two lances to be exact, they had a red aura to it smoking from the lance's entirety, he then rushed in swinging one lance with great speed and power at the female, filled with raw killing intent.
"Lancelot cut it out!"
he shouted. It was odd, this was the first time the knight as ever done this, he didn't even have to call Ziege Dich to call him out, it was as if he were acting completely on his own.

As soon as the wall was breached Saber was up and Excalibur was in her hand though concealed by her invisible air ability. However what she saw was so shocking to her she almost let go of her sword. Lancelot? Again...? but.. the boy had said this was not a Holy Grail War so..how? Did another call forth his tormented soul in the same manner as she? It brought tears to her eyes..
"Lancelot do you truely hate me so..?"
She cried out as she began expertly parrying his lance attacks with her sword.. it wasn't exactly easy..but she managed to do it thanks to the added bonus' granted by Invisible Air,
"Even now?!?"
She more heavily began bashing her sword against his spear attacks. Since he was using one hand on each weapon and she was using two on Excalibur their strength difference had closed immensely. She could tell he was far stronger now then the last time she fought him however..and she was not yet fully recovered from the many problems that had occured for some reason during her summoning. If he was still using a weapon with both hands..she would have been forced to use Excalibur to it's fullest already just to survive.. She could not hope to win against him right now..She was too weakened due to her summoning.
Ryuuda shouted as pulled out a set of vibro-knives from thin air and hurled them at the thing attacking her. despite being a regular human these things acted like dagger sized scheele schnieder that the quincy use just on a weaker level. Even with him being a regular human..those things would at least sting a spiritually powerful creature like that.. ...he hoped. Regardless he tackled into Saber once he saw a big enough opening,
"Time Accel!"
he thought and suddenly the human was on the other side of the small building with Saber who was panting for breath and staring at her arms which had nearly began to feel numb.
"I can't win like this.. I'm far too weakened to beat him this time.."
She said with an almost pathetic cringe in her voice while standing up from her kneeling position and getting ready to fight again if he burst through the last wall currently in the way. She would fight him to the death if thats what it came to and she would die with honor..but she was still saddened that Lancelot was so entangled within Madness that even after defeating him last time..he was still trapped within the cage of insanity..

Lancelot's mind went into a frenzy as a bunch of knives through at him, tendrils shot out from his back as he continued to roar and whipped them to knock the knives off course, he then held back the lances. Gauge knew what was going to happened and ducked behind Lancelot. He held the tips together in the air as dark energy began to form between them, he then pulled back and struck forward causing a large black energy blast to shoot out the top towards the other side of the building in the direction saber was to him. The energy was as powerful as a Gran rey and would blast through the building and even the next couple of ones, if he missed the building would surely begin to collapse. He spotted the two through the rubble of the slowly crumbling building and both lance's began to glow, one changed shape into a shield on his right arm, while the other turned into a Falchion sword, an odd aura began to radiate from his body it began to make his body wave around as if he were in the desert with hot air everywhere.
Gauge had no idea what to do now, this is the first time Lancelot had so much hate, Lancelot dashed over to the duo and disappeared reappearing right in front of them swinging his blade down. At the same time, the tendrils on his back flung around all aimed at Saber, completely ignoring the boy. He followed through with the swing and warped behind them, only to be interrupted by disappearing again. Instead of Lancelot who was no behind them, it was Gauge, using Spacial Swap to swap there positions.
" I have no idea why Lancelot is acting like this or why he is attacking you but you two need to get out of here NOW!"
he shouted. He could take Lancelot on if really needed however it would be a brutal match that he wants to avoid. He didn't care about the duo's at this time either, they needed to get out.

She felt it coming due to the shift in the air around them long before the wall got blasted, she couldn't sense energy but that didn't mean she didn't have battle instincts. She released Invisible Air from Excalibur and instant charged her power up to counter the about to happen fatal blow. She gripped her sword tightly and rose it above her head almost in sync with Lancelot even though she couldn't see him or even know he had done just that same thing.
She said as she ripped her blade down releasing a huge torrential blast of planetary energy that appears as golden light around the sword and her and extended up to one mile and is, in a cone formation, 5 feet wide at the tip of her sword and 30 feet wide five feet from her sword and steadily maxing at 225 feet wide for the rest of the blast with power on par to two cero oscuras. Using what little control of it she could..she managed to make it tilt upwards after making it to Lancelot's location. That wouldn't keep it from hitting him but it would at the very least make most of the blast go into the sky and minimize the damage as much as possible.. Luckily they were in a secluded area so nothing was outside past Lancelot except open space..Damage would be minimal unlike behind Saber where there were more houses..
However Saber dropped to her knee's after that.. Her weakened body couldn't handle using full power right now,
"Saber thats enough we need to go. Whats the point of trying to find it if we can't survive the first day right!?"
He grabbed her, fired an RPG with one hand before dropping it, and tossed three reiatsu grenades and three smoke bombs throughout the remains of the building.
He said as he ran off with Saber. He did this again each time it wore off for 8 more uses before stopping and coughing a bit of blood and feeling dizzy about six blocks away.
"Are you alright?!?"
"Shuddap I'm concentrating.." "Time....Accel!!"
nine more uses and they were completely gone. with Ryuuda passed completely out in the new hidden location the two were in. Saber in her panic for the well being of Ryuuda's health used Avalon to heal him before continuing to use it's powers to slowly repair her and her weakened power supply.
"I shall defeat him again and free him from that madness..someday.."
She said before she too ended up passing out due to fatigue. It was funny. They had both gotten their butts kicked but both of them had passed out with a silly grin on their faces.

Gauge was happy that the two made it out, however there still was a matter of his own partner. He turned around to see Lancelot standing up from the rubble. He blocked most of the attack with the shield he held however still was staggering, blood seeping through the joints of his however he still stood up as if it hardly hindered him. Gauge let out a sigh however that wasn't about to stop Lancelot as he began to rush in the direction.
"I'm sorry to do this to ya buddy"
he frowned and held his hand out mustering his spiritual pressure and forming an invisible grip on Lancelot. He gripped tighter and Lancelot roared out strong enough to tremble the area. Smoke from the grenades bursted out as the Knight's form slowly dissolved into a single sword. Gauge picked up the sword and latched it back onto his back. Gauge looked around at the remains of the building, that kid totaled the place. The battle definitely wasn't supposed to go on this long, in fact it wasn't supposed to happen at all.
"Guess I better apologize"
he murmured, this may not be the best thing to do since the duo were still on the defensive.
He sensed them from far away.
"Damn they know how to book it"
and held down his hat as he dashed at a high speed towards them. He kept himself on guard as well knowing full well what they are capable of, but after a blast like that, his own restu was feeling low for having to supply Lancelot. After awhile of traveling he finally caught up with the two of them,
"hey I come in peace"
he lifted his hands in the air to make sure they wouldn't attack right away.
" I truly am sorry about what just happened, but I am also curious. You seem to know about Lancelot"
he looked over at the female.
"Even know its taking energy to hold him back, why does he have this much rage for you?"

Saber had luckily woke up when she heard the footsteps of someone entering the area Ryuuda had taken her to. She immediately formed Excalibur while using Invisible Air and pointed it, even though it wasn't really visible at the moment but obvious she had something in her hand, at the man as he approached..slowly lowering it as he said he wasn't here to fight. Somehow Ryuuda had managed to grab her motorcycle during his many Time Accels..so it was nearby.. ..she really liked that vehicle... but she had to answer his question first.
"..If that is the same Lancelot I know.. which it must be because he looks the same and has the same maddening rage as before.. It is because I failed as King.."
While this wasn't actually true she herself wasn't aware of that. The true reason he had gone mad was because he had loved Arturia's wife in life and "King Arthur" never raised a hand to Lancelot in punishment for his betrayal against his king. She had been happy that after semi-forcing her wife into such a life and hiding her secret that Lancelot could love her.. But this haunted Lancelot in death and drove him to madness..for he never found out that his King was a woman.. which makes sense considering history forever described the legend of Excalibur and King Arthur.. not a woman in disguise.
Ryuuda groaned but he did not wake.. Whatever magic he had used to get them away had apparently taken a huge toll on him. Saber placed Avalon on his back, since he was laying on his stomach, and supplied her energy to it so it's effects of healing would work on Ryuuda. After a little bit of that she reclaimed the sheathe and stared at the man who claimed to have power over Lancelot.
"How did you acquire his soul in such a manner? I've never seen a heroic spirit bound to an object like that before.. Such a thing shouldn't even be possible as far as I am aware.."

Gauge sat down cross legged and stabbed the sword into the ground next to him, he kept a strong hold of energy on Lancelot, it takes a lot to supply him so gauge had plenty control, he didn't want to cut him off either, side effects would be bad.
"i met him in england long ago, it seems it took his appearance in sealed for as a sword with the same name as yours. However I am unsure of how he became in this state, and I surely don't know what a Heroic Spirit is, all I know is I myself am a bount, and he has become what we call a Doll. It may seem a little unjust to call them such, but with each bount and doll comes a pact, mine was to complete him with a mind and heart, both of which he lacks, in return he stays loyal to me, which is why I'm surprised at the outburst he just preformed"
he spoke alittle sad at the fact his partner did not listen to him.
He shook his head a bit and lifted with a smile.
"Well I really am sorry we got off on the wrong foot, I rather wish not to be an enemy, since he seem like a really nice person. I hope that besides Lancelot, we still have a chance as friends, By the way, my names Gauge Jackson. OH"
he thought of something and pulled out a number.
"i hope I don't come off to disrespectful but Lancelot at this day and age has more power than you...I have a way you can speak to him in a correct conversation, but I'm not sure how he will react seeing you with a heart and mind in place, Iplease give me a call when you get stronger, I am just as curious as you, however I don't want either life to be in threat..."
he held the number for awhile, if she were to not take it he would set it on the ground between them.

"That would be very nice.. But I don't think it will do any good.. This is the second time I have seen him like this.. I cannot change the history that has been set down."
Saber said as she started feeling better slowly and stood up,
"I don't mind being friends but I won't be able to talk with Lancelot."
She brushed herself off from the earlier smoke grenades and other bombs and sighed a bit glancing Ryuuda,
"He will be much harder to take care of than I first thought.. I didn't realize he was being serious. I thought he was underestimating my strength like my previous Master."
"I am grateful that you were not my enemy. It means I don't have to fight him again.. It was painful enough the first time do not make me go through it again."
She lightly nudged Ryuuda with her foot as her entire attire changed into a well mannered black tuxedo,
"Ryuudya wake up it's time for us to go."
He groaned a bit and slowly pushed himself up to his knees,
"I couldn't have slept til he left?"
he complained a bit before standing up on his own,
"Well I guess we'll be leaving to my house then. Come on Saber"
He said as he walked off to leave the building.
"Sorry but we will have to talk another time,"
Saber said to gauge before following Ryuuda and disappearing on purpose.

Rhode Island Answering Service
This is a busy, bustling state. The smallest of the 50, it's densely populated and very industrialized, with pursuits ranging from jewelry manufacturing to shipbuilding. It's also the "Ocean State," with a billion-dollar tourism industry.
Rhode Island's largest city, Providence, is a wholesale distribution center for the New England region, the state's fishing industry is strong, and the high-society resort of Newport helps propel the thriving tourism sector.

This is an update on the status of the Confederate Monument, better known on campus as Silent Sam.
Despite how it is being interpreted in the media, the University has not been given the clear legal authority to act unilaterally. Governor Cooper cites a provision where removal would be permitted if a "building inspector" concludes that physical disrepair of a statue threatens public safety, a situation not present here. The University is now caught between conflicting legal interpretations of the statute from the Governor and other legal experts.
Based on law enforcement agencies' assessments, we continue to believe that removing the Confederate Monument is in the best interest of the safety of our campus, but the University can act only in accordance with the laws of the state of North Carolina. As we continue to seek clear guidance and legal authority to act, we ask for your patience and cooperation to help us maintain as safe an environment as we possibly can. Your safety and the safety of our community will always be our first priority.

Retailers need to embrace next generation technology such as artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR) if they want shoppers to continue to use their apps, warns mobile app developer Apadmi. Its analysis shows that nearly 30% of consumers would like to see more innovation in mobile apps to help create a better, more personalised shopping experience. More than a quarter (26%) say they would like to see retailers implement AI tools to remember past purchases and recommend products and deals based on shopping history. Nearly a fifth (18%) think that AI in retail apps, like chatbots or digital assistants, would be an improvement.
Consumers want smarter apps

Please make sure that you have discussed your application with your administrator before applying! Applications approved by the administrator will be given first consideration by the Foundation.
Receipts for purchases are required as proof of due diligence with grants that are awarded. We ask that receipts be turned in to the Foundation by December 31 and June 30 unless other arrangements have been approved by the Foundation.
