SOUTH BEND -- Sixteen-year-old Margarito Navarrete last year had never celebrated it, never seen it in the public eye -- never even heard of the biggest day in the eyes of Mother Earth. But the Clay High School sophomore who knew next to nothing about Earth Day last year -- he gets it now. Last week, he watched Al Gore deliver warnings in his 2006 film, "An Inconvenient Truth," of how escalating carbon dioxide levels are boosting global temperatures. And he recalls last week's roller coaster weather, where spring sunshine graced the city one day and a wintry snow-rain mix gripped it the next -- to Navarrete, a telltale sign of global warming. With the blessing of the Virgin Mary -- and the city of South Bend, no less -- he's aiming to convert the art of the streets into the art of the soul this weekend, his way of staking a claim in his very first Earth Day. Navarrete is one of about 30 Clay students who plan to paint a mural featuring the mother of Jesus at the graffiti-targeted Pulaski Park on Saturday. They'll also clean up the park, which is located at Huron and Walnut streets, and spruce up the city's greenhouses on Mishawaka Avenue. "All the fumes of graffiti from the cans -- that's part of global warming," Navarrete said, "so it's good for people to join in and help out." Attention to the environment is a sentiment heating up this spring, as world scientists and political leaders debate global warming's causes, effects and cost-effective solutions to combat the phenomenon. With Earth Day approaching Sunday, more classroom emphasis is also being placed on the world's future. Experts say the world is undoubtedly warming, and today's students are so wrapped up in the convenience of modern life that they are neglecting the planet that has given them the room to enjoy it. "There's all sorts of things that we do that contribute (to global warming), but at the same time, we have to be able to live on the land," said Krista Daniels, a member of the Environmental Education Association of Indiana and a naturalist at Elkhart County Parks. "It's just about making that balance." Cloudy future According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a range of problems can be linked in part to global warming: glacier retreat, ice shelf disruption, a sea-level rise that will inundate coastal areas, rainfall pattern changes, increased risk of droughts and floods and extreme weather events. So, how did it all come to this? Scientists point to increased levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases being emitted in the atmosphere. Human activity -- including industrial processes, fossil fuel combustion and changes in land use, such as deforestation -- is the culprit, according to the Pew Center on Global Climate Change. Many nations have signed and ratified the international Kyoto Protocol to curb greenhouse gas emissions by 2012. But the Bush Administration has rejected it as being too costly for the U.S. economy, and world leaders are still conflicted about how to address the issue. Even the "Global Warming" entry on Wikipedia -- an online encyclopedia that allows visitors to add and edit content -- now carries a restriction: "This page is currently protected from editing until disputes have been resolved." Hitting the books In Indiana this school year, more than 32,000 high school students are taking earth and space science, with more than 3,000 enrolled in upper-level environmental science. But more than 81,000 are taking biology -- the only science class required for graduation, said Becky Carter of the Indiana Department of Education's Division of School Assessment. Still, biology courses carry an ecology strand. And because Core 40 becomes Indiana's required high school curriculum this fall, Carter expects to see more students enrolled in earth and space and environmental sciences, she said. Daniels, the naturalist at Elkhart County Parks, said biology is just "scratching the surface" and feels that Earth Day is not a high priority in many classrooms. But awareness is on the rise through the media. Still, she remembers asking students seven years ago at Merry Lea Environmental Learning Center of Goshen College where chickens and eggs came from. She got the response "McDonald's" -- the kind of answer she still gets today from students visiting the parks. With high-stakes standardized testing placing more time constraints in the classroom, limited environmental teaching comes as no surprise to her, Daniels said. Across the border in Michigan, Susan Borr's fifth-grade class at Ottawa Elementary School in Buchanan is researching alternative energy sources, recycling and conservation for an ad campaign to pitch to local businesses and newspapers. It's part of a $1,500 classroom grant from the Berrien County Resource Recovery -- and the first time the class has reached outside of the school for Earth Day. "If we pollute our area, it goes out to Lake Michigan and has far-reaching effects," Borr said. "I think the kids need to see that." Back in South Bend, Clay earth science teacher Darcy Kindelan -- who showed "An Inconvenient Truth" to her students last week -- is planning an Earth Day lesson on environmental stewardship. Students will have to select an environmental problem -- from dead fish and ozone layer depletion, to the world's oil supply -- and come up with a personal action plan to prevent it. "I want to do what I can now," Kindelan said, "but with global warming I'm worried about my children and my grandchildren. And I say, you guys need to be worried about that too." Pulaski Park The South Bend Parks and Recreation Department requested that a religious mural be painted at the recreation shelter building at Pulaski Park on Saturday to prevent graffiti from reoccurring there, said Mike Dyszkiewicz of the parks department. Navarrete, the Clay High School sophomore who roughly sketched the Virgin Mary over a two-week period, jumped at the chance to lead the project. Student Rember Orellana added color to his sketch. "Most of the people, they do graffiti because it's a form of art, too," said Navarrete, who pointed out how many Hispanics who contribute to the graffiti problem at the park share his Catholic roots. "I don't think they will draw over the Virgin Mary, and they won't deface it like that." Clay sophomore Matthew Ferguson, 17, will help out Saturday and plans to enter the NASCAR business in the near future. His classmate Navarrete wants to be a mechanic some day. Both fields will likely get a taste of more environmentally friendly vehicles in coming years, Ferguson said. "It will be interesting to see what they come out with when I get into the business," he said. Staff writer YaShekia Smalls:

text: Beneful I have a dog that has been around for many years. His name is Nugget. I bought this dog when I was 12 years old. He is a mix breed of collie and shepherd. This dog is so unique. He bows his head to say grace before he eats his bowl of Beneful. He does many tricks on command. Nugget is getting older now and the Vet says we may need to switch to a food that is easier for him to digest. The Vet says Beneful has a wonderful older dogs, dog food that is perfect for Nugget. He already loves the flavor of Beneful so why not give him what he loves in a formula that is better suited for his digestion. I love my dog and want to keep him around for as long as I can. I went to the pet store and bought Nugget a bag of dry older pet formula food. From the first bowl, Nugget lapped it up like it was candy. Beneful has the different levels of food for every dog. You can start your loving pet out on the puppy formula and keep him or her healthy by giving them all of the formulas for life. Beneful has the dry food and the moist food available. When you get ready for teeth cleaning, try the teeth cleaning chew bones. Your pet will love all of the treats and foods in the brand. Check out an article I ran across. The Daily Herald is talking about all the ingredient changes the larger companies are making for your pets. You can purchase a food that taste as good as your homemade lasagna. You will no longer need to feed your pet treats from the table. They will love their own food and think they are eating yours. The new formulas are going to be listed as a gourmet premium dog food choice. These foods will be in the refrigerator to keep them fresh. The foods will have real, fresh meat products and fresh vegetables. They are even tossing in some fruits to give the dog a taste that is sweet and more like what they would eat in the wild. Your dog gives you unconditional love and companionship so why not give him the best in food choices.

We went to Holy Cross this morning. When I say, we, I mean Becky, Tony, Jorah, and Mataya...the rigors of our long days do take a toll...But generally the group has been an excellent early-rising sunrise force! Once the bugs starting biting up on the levee, I told the troops where the best spot up there was for looking back over the canal at the main part of the city, and high-tailed it for the van. Becky too.
After a quick breakfast, we all headed out once again for the Times-Picayune. Established in 1837, the Times-Picayune has maintained a strong and vital force in New Orleans in print and in an ever-expanding web version. For it's Katrina coverage the paper shared the Pulitzer in 2005 with a paper in Gulfport Mississippi.
The paper has at times had writers the likes of O. Henry and William Faulkner, but I am just as content to see current reporter, John Pope, always in a bow tie, a proper southern gentleman on my way in and out of today's newsroom.
But nothing can match getting to hang out with our friends in the Photography Department. They are all wonderful, and each time Becky and I have been down, they have been very generous with their time, and have allowed students (and us) to shadow them on shoots.
We split up in two cars this time, and Becky stayed behind and participated in the morning budget meeting. Mataya, Megan, and I went with photo-journalist John McCusker. Who was on assignment to cover the ground breaking of the new WYES tv studio.
We learned that sometimes the best pictures to be made are those that don't conform to the camera-ready moments created to be photographed. John made a great picture of the station's general manager in the doorway of the soon-to-be demolished original studio (built in 1957).
We also had the privilege of meeting Dave Walker (see photo of hands), who was writing the accompanying article.
After the assignment, John drove us to Gentilly, and walked us up on to the bridge over the London Avenue Canal (very near where one of my tree pictures was made on Warrington), explained the levee breeches to the students, how the levees were built and why they failed, and shared his own story from the massive failure of the levees in 2005.
We then rejoined the others at the newspaper and headed to lunch together. We switched up groups a little so a photographer was at each table.
Because John is also an accomplished music writer, I got Tony to join him for lunch, and he had some great advice. Not to be overly gushy, but Becky and I cannot thank the photographers of the Times-Picayune enough for once again showing our students what they do, and sharing so deeply in both their experiences on and off the job. It is an invaluable gift to not only hear about integrity in journalism but to see it demonstrated. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
We dropped Mataya and Jorah off, so Jorah could get some photographs of the alligators being fed. Then we headed back to the hotel for a needed rest....not to mention catching up on the blogging and downloading of cards!

For Wallace and Gromit, a "Grand Day Out" meant a trip to the moon.
For Wallace and Gromit, a �Grand Day Out� meant a trip to the moon.
For us, it was a visit to Cambridge and punting on the River Cam.
It seems that many tourists head for Oxford (possibly because they have six-letter sweatshirts), but Cambridge (nine letters), takes the biscuit, as far as we are concerned.
It�s essentially a college town that was also once an agricultural market. All the good stuff is within easy walking distance.
One of the great highlights is King�s College with its sumptuous and historic chapel. Begun in 1441 under orders from Henry VI, it was finally completed more than a century later under Henry VIII.
The overall impression is dazzling. Some years ago, our youngest son (then age 14) went inside, took one long look and exclaimed, �WOW! Does the Pope know about this?�
The answer, by the way, was yes, since Catholicism was the state religion until Henry VIII got tired of its restrictions on his first divorce around 1533.
Equally impressive � in a different way �are some of the holdings of the Trinity College Library, which was designed by Christopher Wren.
Whereas most of the 31 colleges are closed to the public, the Trinity Library is accessible � so long as you abide by some basic rules.
We were instructed by the porter at the outer desk about restrictions on cameras, cell phones and the like.
Then he added: �And you must speak in whispers. If you raise your voice, it will be the tar.�
�Tar?� I asked. �Like hot tar.�
�Naw,� he said. �Tar like the Tar of London.�
The library itself is very, very old world, but, for the visitor, the display cases are most impressive.
You can see Isaac Newton�s notebook, open to the pages where, around 1687, he described what we know as gravity (complete with drawing of an apple).
Also on display (in another case) is the original manuscript by A.A. Milne of Winnie-the-Pooh. It�s opened to pages where the learned owl inscribes a birthday card to Eeyore that says: HIPY PAPY BTHUTHDTH THUTHDA BTHUTHDY.
Pooh looked on admiringly.
�I�m just saying �A Happy Birthday�,� said Owl carelessly.
�It�s a nice long one,� said Pooh, very much impressed by it.
�Well, actually, of course, I�m saying �A Very Happy Birthday with love from Pooh.� Naturally it takes a good deal of pencil to say a long thing like that.�
Also, just outside the main gate to Trinity College stands what is alleged to be a descendant of Newton�s apple tree. Mercifully, no one is selling bags of seed.
Another sight at Trinity is the Great Court that was featured in the film �Chariots of Fire�.
Students for centuries have tried to run the perimeter of the court � some 367 meters (401 yards) � in the 43 seconds that it takes the college clock to strike noon. Only three have succeeded.
Less well publicized about Trinity College is the fact that four of Britain�s most notorious spies studied here. They are Guy Burgess, Kim Philby, Anthony Blunt and Donald Maclean. Together they wreaked havoc for the benefit of the Soviets inside the British government from 1934 to 1951.
Their favorite pub at Cambridge, we were told, is now an Italian restaurant.
Never mind.
The one must-visit pub is the Eagle. It was a favorite haunt for Royal Air Force and U.S. fighter pilots and bomber crews (many of whom died) during World War II. Anyone with a sense of history will be touched by the names, especially those scrawled (or burnt) into the ceiling.
The Eagle made headlines when two Cambridge molecular biologists � James Watson and Francis Crick � first announced � at the pub in 1953 � their discovery of the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid. To us that�s DNA, the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms.
Anyone with a sense of history � and place � will want to order a pint of DNA at the Eagle. Where else, I wonder, can you drink your own DNA?
As for punting on the River Cam, this is another wonderful experience, so long as the punter doesn�t capsize the boat or fall into the drink, which is about 6 feet deep.
A punt is like a canoe, only with a flat bottom � and larger. Punts are propelled by someone standing at the back with a 16-foot-long pole weighing 10 pounds.
That�s about all you need to get started. But don�t expect anything as easy as a paddle. Maneuvering that long pole is pretty terrifying � and embarrassing � in the beginning, especially when approaching one of several bridges with low arches.
But it doesn�t take long to get the hang of it, though collisions with other punts are inescapable in traffic.
And those bridges can be a headache, especially, if you are my age, misjudge the clearance and scrape off a bit of top hair in transit.
Never mind. We managed and had a great hour mucking about in the river behind several of Cambridge�s colleges.
I should probably add, as a confessional, that, at age 75, my time may have come to abandon the pole position, but don�t just hire a Cambridge student to handle the navigation. Do it yourself and take your chances.
The adventure and the challenge are what make it fun.
Punting, as humorist Jerome K. Jerome put it, �is not as easy as it looks. � You soon learn how to get along and handle the craft, but it takes long practice before you can do this with dignity.�
Amen to that.
Tom Emmerson is a retired Iowa State University professor who spent the summer in London with his wife, Linda.

Bharti Airtel, India's largest telecom company, and South Africa's MTN Group have resumed talks of a possible merger. A deal would create a telecom juggernaut with annual revenues of $20 billion and over 200 million subscribers across India, the Middle East and Africa. The user numbers alone would make the merged entity the third largest telecom player in the world after China Mobile and Vodafone, ahead of AT&T and many large European telcos.
Both the companies said that they were negotiating a cash and equity swap, considered to be a precursor to the merger. The deal would see Bharti acquire a 49% stake in MTN, while the South African company would buy 36% of Bharti Airtel. The two companies said they would merge completely in the future.
"We will see real power in the combination," Sunil Bharti Mittal, chairman and managing director of Bharti in New Delhi, said in a statement. Phutuma Nhleko, chief executive MTN, added, "The deal would create a highly visible commercial partnership between South Africa and India."
Africa and India are the growth engines of the global telecom industry so both Bharti and MTN have seen their subscriber base swell to 100 million each.
Just a year ago, Bharti was a suitor to pick up a controlling stake in MTN. Analysts say the deal floundered due to a regulatory hurdle in India: Bharti's foreign stake would have increased beyond the 74.5% limit stipulated by Indian law. Singapore Telecommunications and Vodafone are shareholders in Bharti.
Analysts also believe the companies failed to strike a deal earlier due to political miscalculations on MTN's part. Investment bankers believed that MTN preferred to be seen as an acquirer rather than a seller. Subsequently, MTN also called off talks with India's Reliance Communications.
Now both Bharti and MTN are ironing out a complicated deal. If it goes through MTN will fork out $2.9 billion in cash and issue new shares for a 25% stake in Bharti. The Indian telecom player will pay $10.32 and 0.5 newly issued shares for each MTN share it acquires.
Africa has been on Bharti's radar for a while, as it considers the region to be the last underpenetrated market in the global telecom terrain. Bharti has a small presence in the Seychelles, while its value added telecom services subsidiary Comviva Technologies operates electronic pre-paid services in Botswana, Cameroon, Egypt, Ivory Coast, Madagascar and Senegal.
While the deal on the table now would substantially increase that reach the markets are not impressed with Bharti's plans. The Bombay Stock Exchange Index or the Sensex has consistently hammered the stocks of companies with big merger plans, as they do not see short term gains. The Bharti Airtel stock closed Monday 5.5% down at $17.

Self-Image: Discovering Your Value
– Dr. Charles Stanley
God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
Ephesians 2:10
We are [God's] workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.
Do you like the person you see in the mirror every day?
Liking yourself relates to self-image, which is not limited to your physical appearance. Self-image includes the total you—personality, talents and abilities, accomplishments, desires and goals, and spiritual relationship with the Lord. Nearly all of your behavior is based on who you think you are and how you feel about yourself.
Ultimately, your self-image is linked to who you are in Christ Jesus. If you have a relationship with Christ, you have accepted—to at least some degree—the fact that God so loved you that He sent Jesus to die for your sins so that you could have eternal life. (See John 3:16)
Do you know today—with certainty—that:
God loves you infinitely, unconditionally, and eternally?
- God stands ready to forgive you of all your sins and trespasses against Him and others?
- Jesus Christ valued you so much that He died so you might live forever with Him in Heaven?
- You are being transformed into the likeness of Jesus Christ as the Holy Spirit works within you?
Unfortunately, even people who can say yes to these questions sometimes have difficulty loving themselves. Friend, if God loves you and has forgiven you, you should love yourself. If God says you are valuable, you are!
But, no one can make you accept the fact that you are infinitely valuable to God. You must paint on your mental and emotional canvas the image that reflects what you believe to be true about yourself.
Holy, Blameless, and Loved
In his letter to the Ephesians, the apostle Paul wrote of the blessings we have because of our relationship with the Lord:
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved (Ephesians 1:3-5).
The apostle John wrote:
In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation [atoning sacrifice] for our sins (1 John 4:10).
As Christians, we are worthy because Christ declares us to be worthy.
The Comparison Trap
Some people continually gauge their performance by comparing themselves to others. They are much more concerned with being, having, owning, or achieving the best than in giving their best effort.
Nobody can be number one all the time. If you continually try to best those around you, you are likely to suffer a major blow to your self-image each time you come in second. The greater the failure, the greater the blow to the self-image.
Jesus Christ is established as our role model in the Scriptures. We are to grow up spiritually to become like Him. No, we will never be perfect. Even so, the Holy Spirit is at work in us to transform us more and more into His likeness.
If you are a Christian yielded to the Holy Spirit's work within you, you are not the same person today that you were last year. You are growing toward wholeness.
Every time you are tempted to compare your accomplishments with those of someone else, concentrate on doing your best.
Write down the all the attributes and gifts God has given you according to 1 John 4:10 and Ephesians 1:3-5. Consider starting a list of verses that affirm your worth in Christ. Review those verses whenever Satan attacks you with feelings of condemnation or low self-esteem.
Lord, forgive me for trying to evaluate my worth based on the things the world says make me important. Transform my mind so that I see myself as you see me—a valuable child of God. Amen.

[Hassan Abbasi, IRGC officer and head of its think-tank 'Center for Borderless Security Doctrinal Analysis', is talking and strategizing about the upcoming presidential election. It should be mentioned that the video had been recorded before the Guardian Council announced the main candidates.]
HASSAN ABBASI talks about people turning toward Raisi: He said, 'God, turn people's hearts toward these [people].' It seems that God has created a general atmosphere, and this public atmosphere is turning toward this Seyyed [Raisi]. And I can see a strange atmosphere in the arena, because I go here and there every day.
He talks of the strategy that the hardliners should adopt: Therefore, we must wait until 7th [of Ordibehesht (April 27)] so that it becomes clear how many of these 1,600-1,700 people are completely gone [disqualified], and the main people are finalized for sure. It is likely that one of them will be completely eliminated by the Guardian Council. (Well, that way, or in some other ways. Or some other friends, for example, [unintelligible].) Then, after that arrangement, it is us and the main ones who have registered—the main people who have registered. The revolutionary current must start with 4 or 5 people, but when it is 2 days left to election day, they should all drop out [of election] and only one of them should remain.

LUSH Colour: Drive lipstick
Monday, 5 November 2012
Hello! It's been quite a while since I posted, and I do apologize but I don't have much of an excuse apart from life being a bit rubbish and taking over completely. I've been busy and stressed, but I feel like things are settling down now and I'm excited to be able to get back into blogging again. I promise I won't slack off this time!
As most of you will know, Lush recently launched their Emotional Brilliance cosmetics range back in July. As part of this, there is a colour range called Word Up which contain eyeliners, lipsticks and eyeshadows. The great thing about these is that they are multi-purpose and super versatile, so you can use the liquid lipsticks as cheek colour, etc. I won't go too much into the rest of the range or I'll be here for days but if you're interested, then take a look here to spin the wheel and discover what your colours mean.
Now, I'm really not one for bright or bold lip colours. I never ever thought that I would wear a purple lipstick, let alone like it! Drive is quite a vivid purple, but on the lips it is much more wearable than I originally thought. The formula is gorgeous! Because these are fresh, handmade colours they do not contain preservatives and the main ingredient is jojoba oil, meaning that the colour is super hydrating. To me, it feels like applying a lip balm because it's so hydrating, but the colour is highly pigmented and once it dries, I forget that it's there which I love. It's also really long-lasting, I find it wears really well even through eating and drinking. The one downside is that it costs £14.50 for 5g of product, which is quite pricey! But I think the fact that it's a multi-purpose product does justify the price, for me at least.These are also 100% vegan, which is great.
I think Drive is the perfect shade for Autumn/Winter nights, and I'll definitely be picking up more of these fresh, handmade colours because I just find the formula to be so lovely!
Have you tried any of the emotional brilliance range? What do you think?
Labels: autumn, drive, emotional brilliance, lipstick, lush, lush drive, lush lipstick, purple lipstick, vegan, vegan lipstick, word up

I didn't know Lush did make up products, oooooo bad for my bank balance ;)ReplyDelete
They do colour consultations too which are really fun! xxDelete
This is gorgeous! I think Lush's makeup range is a little overpriced though! xReplyDelete
Really? I think they're pretty good value for money as you get a good amount of product, they're great quality and they're really versatile - you can use the lip products on your cheeks, etc. xxDelete
I LOVE the colour!!ReplyDeleteReplies
It's lovely! They have a huge range of other shades too. :) xxDelete
really lovely colourReplyDelete

6. In
moving for a protective order regarding the release of the
requested pathology materials, DUHS, a non-party to this
claim, contends that federal regulations, accreditation
requirements, and North Carolina Session Law 2013-14
(previously N.C. Senate Bill 240) govern the amount of time
that laboratories are required to retain and preserve
original pathology materials, and the manner in which
original pathology materials may be released. Specifically,
federal regulations under CLIA 88 mandate that DUHS retain
original tissue blocks for two years from the date of
collection. In addition, CAP standards mandate that DUHS
retain original tissue blocks for ten years from the date of
collection. Failure to comply with these regulations and
requirements may subject DUHS to sanctions, loss of
accreditation, and/or loss of Medicare reimbursement.
acknowledges, however, the pendency of the present litigation
and Defendant John Crane's request to perform
destructive, fiber analysis testing on tissue contained in
the pathology blocks. Defendant John Crane contends that
fiber analysis testing of the requested pathology blocks may
demonstrate the liability and/or non-liability of some or all
of defendants.
8. In
an effort to resolve this matter without further court
intervention, DUHS will release the tissue blocks requested
by Defendant John Crane, specifically Blocks C1-C3 and Block
D1 from Accession SP15-033526 and Block Al from Accession
SP15-035277, to the Defendant John Crane, care of Susan
Brooks at O'Connell, Tivin, Miller and Burns, LLC, 400 E.
Wisconsin Avenue, Suite 400, Milwaukee, WI 53202, (414)
455-8709, firstname.lastname@example.com, for fiber analysis
testing in accordance with the terms of the Protective
Order Governing Release of Pathology Materials. The
proposed order is necessary to prevent an undue burden that
exists given the federal regulations, accreditation
requirements, and other North Carolina legislation governing
the retention, preservation, and release of original
pathology materials as described above.
Furthermore, any unused portions of the tissue blocks shall
be returned to DUHS for compliance with the CLIA 88 and CAP
regulatory requirements and standards.
10. By
entry of this Order, DUHS does not waive any objections that
may be asserted should additional pathology material be
requested in the future, and that this Order relates to and
governs the release solely of those pathology materials
requested by Defendant John Crane and identified above.
IS THEREFORE ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED that:
1. Upon
completion of proper authorization for release of pathology
materials, DUHS will release tissue pathology Blocks C1-C3
and Block Dl from Accession ...

Someone can tell me how to install Sun Java … I need to run some .jar
[SOLVED] How to install Sun Java..?
You have a few options. For running standard .jar files, you can install the OpenJRE
sudo pacman -S jre8-openjdk
If you need the proprietary version of Java (which is required for some new features, like the JavaFX GUI framework), you can install the proprietary Oracle Java 8 runtime from the AUR.
yaourt -S jre
If you are doing any development, you will need the Java Development kit. OpenJDK 8 can be installed with
sudo pacman -S jdk8-openjdk
For the development version of the proprietary Java 8 development kit, also from the AUR
yaourt -S jdk
@pid1 thanks for your help again, I did not remember that installs with yaourt… I am clumsy today

JOEY BARTON has claimed his departure from Newcastle was due to a bonus dispute.
Barton joined QPR in August after being placed on the transfer list by Newcastle following a Twitter rant in which he criticised the club's board.
He has subsequently spoken out against the regime of owner Mike Ashley and managing director Derek Llambias and went a step further by alleging he and other big-name players had been forced out of the Tyneside club after refusing to agree to a bonus proposal.
Barton said: "Newcastle, as a playing squad, were the only club in Premier League history not to sign a bonus sheet. It was unprecedented.
"We refused as a playing staff (to sign) as they tried to railroad the players into signing a bonus sheet.
"In their opinion we were paid workforce. They thought we were Sports Direct and we should do what the subordinates at Sports Direct do, forgetting they were dealing with 20-odd egos, probably 10 self-sufficient men in a position to make a number of different judgements.
"Myself and the bigger name players at the time advised the playing staff because we were head of the playing committee not to sign the bonus sheet and that filtered back to boardroom level.
"It's no coincidence that I was given away.
"It's all about power and control. They are running the football club and it's going really well for them at the minute but that's more a testament to the players and the fans, and also the manager (Alan Pardew). The manager has been different class. They (the board) promised a number of different things and delivered on very few of them."

Chris Hemsworth is "cute as Christmas" in Ragnarok behind-the-scenes clip
Chris Hemsworth is one of the top leading men working today, and everyone in the business is itching to work with the dashing Australian/God of Thunder. As evidenced by this new clip for a behind-the-scenes featurette for the Blu-ray, this is because Hemsworth is very collaborative, charismatic, and gifted actor. He is also, as can only be described by Jeff Goldblum, as "cute as Christmas." I would like to ask what Goldblum means by that, but I think you'll understand perfectly well when you watch.
I know Hemsworth shirtless is hard to top, but when you're done with that one be sure to scroll on down to watch another clip exploring Cate Blanchett as the villain Hela. The two-time Oscar winner has an infectious fun side that she brought to RAGNAROK, and she discusses bringing a certain physicality to the role.
The movie looked insanely fun to make, so I can only imagine the behind-the-scenes special features will be just as enjoyable to watch. So far I'm already having as much fun watching these clips as I did with the movie, which is a testament to the kind of on-set vibe director Taika Waititi is able to cultivate with his crews. Now can you imagine if you got him on an AVENGERS movie?
THOR: RAGNAROK hits digital on February 20 and Blu-ray March 3.

I have a question although: Should really the server work out all rigidbodies (objects like barrels and boxxes) and provides their new place and rotation towards the clients ?
I do know I choose to try to sync Using the server and I can do this by taking a look at the time stamps on packets and trying to determine how old the time stamp relies on common spherical trip time….
So, what I'm now carrying out is owning the purchasers sending their input to your server and afterwards the server simulates the entire world and sends the point out back towards the shoppers.
Also, needed to know if you will find persuasive reasons for running AI/Physics in a very different thread creating "video game states" queue, which rendering thread can benefit from? does that help in in any case with community syncing? especially if physics/AI operates forward of rendering?
1) Client sends inputs, timestamping them with now+latency. Server applies these in its simulation and sends updates back on the consumer. Client rewinds and replays when necessary, or snaps when vital.
Indeed Within this design the server is updating the physics for each participant whenever a packet is been given and instantly replying with corrected point out for consumer facet prediction rewind+replay — the collisions in between gamers are approximate, you'll notice that sometimes participant vs. participant collisions in these online games are jittery. now you understand why!
When you've got fast and mainly linear motion, I would suggest b. This is due to if it is usually linear and superior pace (Imagine a racing video game like F-Zero) then the extrapolation of the vehicle is not difficult, and *necessary* due to the fact for The everyday delay when racing vs any person else of 100ms, that is a lots of posture big difference when moving at large speed.
struct Input bool remaining; bool suitable; bool forward; bool back; bool bounce; ; class Character public: void processInput( double time, Enter input ); ; Thats the bare minimum amount knowledge necessary for sending a simple floor based movement moreover jumping through the network.
Must I say that your posts are simply good come across for all Resources All those, striving themselfs at networking! Thank you a great deal for all you've wrote and all People work for answering each one of these comments with certainly desired facts!
What will be the best doable strategy In cases like this to attenuate cheating though nevertheless utilizing some kind of authoritative networking with shopper side prediction?
Thanks for all the assistance you've previously given and thanks ahead of time for any more assist you give me!
I assumed that synching time might assist me do this. Utilizing the Bresenham line thought and synching time… and rushing up the customer earlier the server so I don't should contain the server retail store aged world states to complete Manage lag compensation also.
You will find other procedures than just rewind and replay. Consumer aspect prediction is any motion performed because of the client which masks latency, as an example you could potentially Perform the grenade throwing animation ahead of having ack back from your server — the grenade alone will come out lagged, however the animation hides it ample for that person.
Once the user holds down the ahead input it is only when that enter would make a round trip into the server and back again into the consumer that the client's character starts off shifting ahead regionally. Those who don't forget the first Quake netcode would be aware of this influence.

Affiliate marketers are again in danger of losing their businesses due to state NEXUS laws. What typically happens is the merchants decide to stop paying commissions to any affiliates in those states. This puts a lot of people out of business and leaves them with no income.
Here at Easy Product Displays, we try to keep an eye out for our members. Once again, some states have or are trying to push through a new NEXUS law, nicknamed Amazon law.
How can you protect yourself and the business you have spent so much time building? Don't just let it all get stripped way from you!
Now, don't panic but get yourself protected as quickly as possible. Protect your assets the same way the big companies do without all the hassle. Create an LLC in a state such as Delaware, voted the most business friendly state in the nation. This literally can take as little as 5 minutes once you have made up your mind what you want.
Form an LLC, the simplest form of incorporating your business. Filling out the information is easy. Select the options you want, but we always choose just a basic package. We are only concerned about having a business registered in the state.
Form an LLC Online
All you do is choose a name for your business, give them your personal info, decide whether you need them to apply for an Employer Id Number (EIN) for your business, then give them the payment information and agree to the their terms and click pay. Most times you have a response within 1 business day.
Get an Address and Mail Forwarding
When you move your corporation or LLC to another state you need a corporate address to give to your networks and merchants.
We have found the easiest way for us is to rent a mailbox in our preferred state with no NEXUS laws. We enjoy the fact that we can be contacted when we receive mail and can choose to have the mail scanned, thrown away, or forwarded to us. We can view the scanned mail online.
Affiliate marketers have been in the cross hairs of the states tax divisions for the last several years. Each year it is another state looking to collect taxes from online merchants without fully understanding the the devastating impact these cash grabs have on the work from home affiliate.
Unfortunately, the legislation put forth is rarely from someone who knows anything about affiliate marketing, nor do they seem to learn from the mistakes of other states.
When these laws go into effect merchants decide to stop paying commissions to any affiliates in those states, putting thousands of people out of work. So all of the income tax they could have collected from those individuals is now gone and the state is supporting those people who are now on welfare or unemployment. Plus, the state may have lost much of the sales tax they chose to collect because the marketer is no longer there to provide guidance for that consumer.
Do it before your merchants begin dropping affiliates. It's harder to get back in once they have made the change.

The Key Elements of Great Lenders
Your Guide to Making the Right Loan Decision
Until this day, a lot of people want to avail of loans, but they are just not sure as to which kind they should be getting for the kind of purpose that they have. Once you have decided to get some loans, you have to also choose which one you should be getting, and some of these loans will be made mention here.
Bad credit personal loan: This kind of loan is the one that is intended for people who want to get some money but they have a bad credit rating. This type of loan is for what most people who are no longer given some access to be borrowing money from other financial institutions that other people will just have an easier time getting. Applying for a bad credit personal loan may be your only way out in terms of your equity rights in your home and property. Aside from securing your equity in your home, when you get a bad credit personal loan, you are now given the full liberty to get the kind of car that you want to be driving and more. When you get this kind of loan, you can borrow up to 5 digits of monetary value or even up to 125% of the value of your property.
Bridging loan: A lot of people have tried availing of this loan, most especially if they need some financial assistance to purchase another home as the home that they are currently selling has not yet found the right buyer for the home. This type of loan works best for people who are not able to get any mortgage owing to the fact that they still have some property at their own dispense.
One of the benefits of getting bridging loans is that not two properties will remain hanging in the real estate market because you will be given some financial assistance to buy the new house that you need. Another great thing about bridging loans is that they allow you to strengthen your capital while waiting for the time that the house that you are selling will eventually get sold out. With bridging loans, you can borrow ranging between 5 digit currencies up to millions and you can have this loan processed between one week and six months.
With bridging loans, they work in the same way with mortgages in which the money that you can borrow all in all will have to pinned to the home that you intend to purchase. What you must remember though with this kind of loan is that you will be having to pay the company that you have availed this loan with much higher interest rates.

So apparently I'm on a scrappy frame kick! I just love how they are coming together! It's like I'm addicted! As in the other layout, I used muted paper from Melissa Frances, glitter, vintage goodies (lace, buttons, pins, ribbon). The bingo card was made with a stamp from Unity Stamp Co. I got it at the St. Louis Creative Keepsakes Convention and just tried it out! It was a great investment! It's just the perfect size for medium sized projects!
I added a picture to the frame to give you an idea of what your own cute pictures would look like. This picture was also taken by our friends from m&d photography ltd. They do such amazing work - be sure to check out their website to book a sitting or just to be inspired!

Introduction. Although fractures of humeral shaft show excellent results with conservative management, nonunion does occur. Case Report. We bring forth the case of a young male with a 1.5-year-old hypertrophic nonunion of the humerus mimicking an enchondroma. The initial X-ray images of the patient appeared to be an enchondroma, which only on further evaluation and histopathological analysis was diagnosed conclusively to be a hypertrophic nonunion. Discussion. Enchondromas are often incidentally diagnosed benign tumours. It is however not common to misdiagnose a hypertrophic nonunion to be an enchondroma. We present this case to highlight the unique diagnostic dilemma the treating team had to face.
1. Introduction
Three percent of all fractures occur in the humeral shaft. Fracture shaft of humerus shows excellent results with nonoperative treatment in cast immobilization and bracing [1, 2]. However, nonunion is known to occur, particularly in our setting where patients seek treatment from traditional bonesetter [3]. Results following surgical management are variable depending upon the choice of fixation method and implant used, each having its own set of complications and morbidities [4]. When nonunion does occur, however, it is very difficult to treat and often requires multiple procedures to achieve union. Even with multiple procedures, true pseudoarthroses have only a 59% union rate [5].
2. Case Report
In this report we present an interesting case of hypertrophic nonunion of humeral shaft fracture in a 14-year-old boy. In the first instance the X-ray picture appeared to mimic an enchondroma.
He was a fully independent, medically fit and well, right-handed, and a nonsmoker who presented to the outpatient department with a deformity of the left arm. He had history of a minor fall about 1.5 years back followed by pain in left arm. He had visited a local bonesetter who gave him a massage and local bandage. The bandage was removed after 3 weeks. The pain had settled; however the patient was unable to lift weight with his left upper limb and had complained of increasing deformity in the proximal arm. He also complained of difficulty to carry out daily activities with his left upper limb.
On examination, he had a good range of motion in his shoulder and had an intact neurovascular status. While examining his arm, a completely asymptomatic mass was readily palpable over the middle left humerus with a detectable motion in the midhumerus.
Plain radiographs demonstrated a suspicious solitary, diaphyseal humeral lesion, sparing the cortices, and surrounding soft tissues with an abundance of bone formation (Figure 1(a)). The CT revealed a lesion with exuberant bone formation at the site of deformity (Figure 2).
The patient was planned for surgery after preanesthetic checkup. Intraoperatively the site was exposed and a sample was collected for histopathological examination. The excess callus was trimmed, and after freshening of the lesion site and clearing of the marrow, an intramedullary Rush nail was passed with an entry point at the lesser tuberosity (Figure 1(b)). Postoperatively the patient had an intact neurovascular status.
The histopathology report was suggestive of callus, with features suggestive of osteoid formation, with no features of malignancy (Figure 3).
The patient was given a U slab postoperatively for 14 days; on the 14th postoperative day the slab was removed and sutures were cut. The wound was healthy with no suture line redness or discharge. A shoulder spica was applied for 6 weeks thereafter. The plain radiograph taken after 8 weeks of surgery showed features of union. At the end of 8 weeks postoperatively the spica was removed and the patient was advised careful physiotherapy of the elbow and shoulder.
With regular follow-up and physiotherapy, at the end of 5 months of follow-up, the patient had a completely united fracture (Figure 1(c)) with good range of motion at the shoulder and the elbow (Figure 4).
3. Discussion
Enchondromas are often diagnosed incidentally based on radiographic appearance. They are the second most common benign tumours of bone and make about one-fifth of all cartilage forming tumours. They present as either a monostotic or polyostotic form. The solitary forms have a very low risk of malignant transformation, while the ones associated with enchondromatosis show close to 25% malignant transformation. They typically present between the second and fourth decade, located centrally within the marrow of the bone, with a predilection for short tubular bones, followed by the proximal humerus and femur. The enchondromas are often asymptomatic tumours [6].
Most humeral diaphyseal fractures heal with conservative management [7]. However, when nonunion occurs, it is probably due to the severity of the initial trauma, the pattern of the fracture, distraction at the fracture site, soft-tissue interposition, or inadequate immobilisation [8]. There are various surgical methods to treat nonunion after conservative management. The various options include open reduction and internal fixation with plates and screws [9], reamed intramedullary nailing [10], and external fixation [11]. Supplementing fixation with bone graft significantly increases the chances of achieving union [12].
Our case was unique in presenting eighteen months of the initial trauma with a deformity of almost 90° at the fracture site, which on initial X-rays mimicked an enchondroma. It was only on further investigation and histopathological analysis that it was conclusively diagnosed to be a hypertrophic nonunion with exuberant callus formation. The fracture finally united without grafting with intramedullary fixation supplemented by a spica cast.
We report this case to bring forth the diagnostic dilemma the initial X-rays resembling an enchondroma brought in front of the treating team.

Over the next few days, you will see a lot from us about our recent trip to Australia. We will have blogs from volunteers and post photos and videos over on our main page.
Today, I'd like to take a moment and say thank you for a great trip. We literally could not have taken it on our own. Whether through prayer or financial support, you made it possible for us to go help farmers in Australia.
Every day in camp we heard stories of farmers whose lives were changed. We were told lives had been saved. Farmers on the brink of hopelessness were shown hope by an organization called BlazeAid. We partnered with them for the third time, and were happy to do so because of the amazing work they do.
Our volunteers were the perfect team for this trip. Never complaining, never second-guessing, they put up with discomfort and long work days because they knew the work they were doing was worth it. They knew the farmers they were helping needed them.
As we walked up and down the hills and valleys of a vast Australian ranch, I was struck by the power of prayer. We prayed for the opportunity to help these people, and we were granted that prayer. We prayed for a safe trip, and we were granted that prayer. We prayed for a team of volunteers who would work together to help others, and we were granted that prayer, too.
So thank you for your prayers. Thank you for your support. Most of all, thank you so much for remembering TWCD as we try to help victims of disasters around the world.

To me attractive just means she looks good enough that I could have sex with her
beautiful is a subset of attractive women, just as cute is
So all women who are beautiful are attractive and all women who are cute are attractive, but not all attractive women are beautiful and cute
hope that makes sense

Jeremy Stanton vs. Ryan Hicks
Dedicated to Madisonkai
Blinding anger!
Somewhere in the southern part of California, thirty-one years ago...
"It's a boy." The elderly woman smiled. "Just as was predicted."
The baby let out an angry cry and kicked its tiny legs with such force the old woman almost dropped it.
"So strong." She giggled, tightening her hold on the baby. But her delighted giggles turned into a gasp of horror when the baby's eyes suddenly turned bloody red. "Oh Great Luna!" Mama Meg turned as white as sheet.
The two attendants looking on turned to run out of the room just as one of the curtains burst into flames. The baby kept crying angrily.
"Give him to me Mama Meg." The obviously tired mother instructed urgently. "Quick."
She stretched out her arms and took her baby from the terrified old woman. Then she tenderly placed the screaming baby on her chest, noting the contrast between her own dark skin and her baby's slightly lighter colour. He was the most beautiful baby she'd ever laid eyes on. The proud mother began to sing softly to sooth her screaming baby. But for the seriousness of the current situation, she would have laughed out loud when it downed on her that her baby had actually taken more of her colour than her husband's. She couldn't wait to see the look on her husband's face when she demanded her prize for winning the bet. She also couldn't wait to see the real eye colour of her baby. Was it going to be the intense deep blue eyes his father had or dark amber like hers?
The proud mother didn't even look up when her husband, the Alpha burst into the room. She kept singing. And as she sang, the baby's cries gradually died down and to the shock of the others in the room, so did the curtain that had caught fire. Well, it was virtually burnt but at least the fire had gone out...by itself.
"He's an Ojah." Mama Meg gasped, her whole body trembling.
"Darling, are you okay?" The giant of an Alpha asked his beautiful wife.
Gloria, the head warrior and queen of the Stanwood Pack lifted eyes filled with pride, joy and mirth to her anxious looking husband and gave him a slow wink. "What do you think?" She breathed. "Come meet your son."
Alpha Stanton grinned and sat beside his wife on the bed. They both stared at the sleeping baby, ignoring the almost frenzied prayers being whispered by Mama Meg. The elderly woman was terrified and rightly so. After all, they had in their midst an Ojah who could raise a whole community to the ground with just a snap of his finger. What made their situation even worse was the fact that their son was a mere baby and therefore had no control over his power. The Alpha and his queen knew they had a lot of work to do.
"He can't be Alpha." The old lady chanted. "An Ojah can't rule. He'll kill everyone. We are doomed. An alpha has to be tolerant. But it's not in an Ojah's nature to be tolerant." Mama Meg was shaking so much she looked as though she had a seizure. That was the extent of her terror. "Everyone will perish at his hands. This has never happened before. We..."
"Calm down Mama Meg." The alpha finally turned to look at the frightened woman. "I know something like this has never happened before but let's consider the other possibilities. Wouldn't his being an alpha rather control his Ojah side? And wouldn't being an Ojah rather be an advantage to an alpha...help him protect his people even better? Think about it. Now why don't you go and gather the elders for an emergency meeting, Mama Meg?" The Alpha said gently, turning back to look at his sleeping son. "I'll clean them up myself. Tell the elders I'll join you immediately I'm done here."
The woman fled the room as if the hounds of hell were after her. And even as she hastened to do the bidding of her Alpha, she couldn't help but feel the surge of power in the air...the power emanating from that little baby. She had faith in the Alpha and the queen to keep the pack safe, but she also couldn't help but feel their lives were in danger. She prayed the couple and the elders would be able to contain all that power and keep them out of harm's way.
"Merciful Luna, have mercy on us." She prayed as she broke into a run.
And back in the room, the alpha and his wife couldn't keep their eyes off their bundle of joy. To them, he was perfect.
"He's going to be the most powerful alpha." The queen muttered.
"I know." The alpha grinned.
At the same moment...in the remote town of Pierre Part, Louisiana...
A doctor and three nurses stared at a new born baby boy. The thoughts running through the head of each person was, 'am I seeing right?'
"Is something wrong with my baby?" The exhausted mother asked in a tired voice.
All four pairs of eyes turned in her direction for not more than a second. Then each pair was back on the baby. It was a staggeringly beautiful baby. Its angelic face and the full crop of pure white hair on its head made it look almost ethereal. But what arrested the attention of the doctors and nurses was not the beauty of the baby. It was what was between its legs... The beautiful baby had two dicks.
"Will someone please say something?" The mother's raised voice caused the stunned doctor to finally turn to focus on her.
"Ms. Hicks I don't know how to say this but...err...your baby...you have a boy."
"And what is strange about that?" The mother asked with a raised brow. "I already knew it was going to be a boy, remember?" The scan had already revealed she was having a boy so Emma Hicks knew her baby was a boy.
"Well, your son has a...a...he has a condition." The doctor said, turning his eyes back onto the baby.
"Condition? What kind of condition?" The alarmed mother's eyes widened with dread as she moved to sit up.
"A deformity." The doctor couldn't mask the confused shock in his voice. He turned his eye back onto the mother and groaned. "No you don't have to..." He started to say but the mother ignored him and sat up.
"Please give me my baby." Emma demanded shakily. She just wanted to hold her son. "I want to hold him." She stretched out her arms, praying that whatever deformity her son had was not life threatening.
The nurse who held the baby in her arms gently placed the baby in its mother's arms. Whilst they all stood back to witness Emma's first reaction to her son's weird body part, the doctor went to the phone in the corner and started dialing.
Emma looked at her son's face and gave a tremulous smile. "He's beautiful."
Then she started checking his fingers to make sure he had ten, looked on his chest and saw the tiny nipples, went further down and touched his umbilical cord stump, and then she moved her eyes lower to his groin and then froze. Emma stared at the two tiny dicks for a moment, and then continued with her inspection as though she hadn't just seen the weirdest thing ever.
"...Yes come immediately." Emma heard the doctor on the phone, talking to someone. "We'll be waiting. No I haven't taken any pictures yet. Okay I'll do that but hurry." He hung up.
"Who was that on the phone?" Emma asked quietly.
"That's a specialist." The doctor responded. "I called him to come and check your son out."
"Really? I didn't know you had specialists in this part of the country. No one is poking my son. He's no E.T. I..."
"You watch too many movies Ms. Hicks." The doctor gave a nervous laugh. "We're not going to harm him."
"How long will it take for the specialist to get here?"
"He's going to fly in from New York. He'll be here in about three hours. Now, why don't you allow Nurse Sarah to clean the baby and put some clothes on him?" The doctor smiled. "You need your rest."
"I'm fine. Can I breastfeed him when she's done?"
"Sure." The doctor nodded.
"Okay." Emma smiled. "Need to use the bathroom. I want to clean up before I feed him." She said as she allowed the nurse to take the baby.
Emma slowly got off the bed and went to the bathroom. Her tears mingled with the water as she showered. She'd seen how those people had looked at her son. She'd seen amusement on one face and disgust on some. Emma knew that a male with two penises was strange and she didn't know why her son had it but she sure as hell wasn't going to allow anyone to make her feel as though her son was any less of a human being. She was a strong woman. Had to be strong as she'd never had anyone to look out for her. And she was going to make sure that no one had the chance to make her son feel bad about himself. Her son was special and she was going to protect him from the cruel world they lived in.
When the nurses came back into the room an hour later to check up on mother and son, they found an empty room. Emma Hicks had disappeared with her son.
Alpha Jeremy Stanton was in a very bad mood. The fact that it was a full moon that night was making his mood even darker. The Stanwood Pack, which was the biggest pack in the country, was getting ready for a run and that never ceased to bring a feeling of excitement and anxiety amongst the pack. The air was charged. It was usually the most importance event that occurred every month because newly turned wolves got to take their first run to the joy and pride of the grown-ups.
Just as Alpha Jeremy always insisted on, the warriors had scanned the parameters to ensure that the pack would be safe during their run. These checks were important as rogues or hunters could be waiting to attack. Rogues were wolves with no packs. They were usually broken from customary behavior and killed indiscriminately and heedlessly. Hunters on the other hand were that group of people who had made it their life's mission to destroy supernatural beings such as werewolves from existence. When Jeremy heard word, mere hours before their run, that some hunters were lying in wait for them, he'd growled with fury. And when he was told that the hunters had managed to escape, leaving just one man behind, he'd gotten even angrier. He'd ordered his warriors to bring the hunter back to the camp. Jeremy wanted to personally kill the hunter this time around, to placate his furious wolf.
As Jeremy paced impatiently waiting for his warriors, the pack got ready to move. Jeremy's house was a modern day castle. It was huge and breathtakingly beautiful. A lot had gone into the magnificent structure. To some, the house was a five star hotel as it could easily house about three hundred people. There were hundreds of acres of land around Alpha Jeremy's house, all belonging to the Alpha. Though the werewolves lived anywhere they wished... amongst regular human folk, they always converged in Jeremy's mansion once every month to run as a pack. Wolves from other packs who owed allegiance to Jeremy usually joined the Stanwood pack for their runs. For the wolves, it was the best place to be on a night of a full moon because they got to run to their hearts content in the forest surrounding the property. Jeremy was therefore particular about security as he was responsible for not only his pack members, but non-pack members too.
"We're here Alpha.' Jeremy heard his lead warrior say through their mind link and instantly felt his fangs drop. He couldn't wait to see the hunter who dared come that far to hunt his pack on such a night.
'I'm out here.' Jeremy responded and turned to face his five betas. They were the most important people after the Alpha and his mate, if he had one. Their job was to take over command and enforce the law whenever the Alpha wasn't present. The betas were so important and respected that their position couldn't be challenged without the alpha's approval. "They're here." He informed the anxious betas.
Jeremy turned to face the direction he knew his warriors were going to emerge from and promptly gasped when a strong wind blew. Fuck! He groaned silently as his eyes widened in shock and confusion. Where the fuck had that scent come from, Jeremy asked himself as he closed his eyes and breathed in deeply. His mouth watered and he felt his cock go instantly hard. No fucking way! From what he'd been taught, only one thing could cause his current reaction. His mate was close. But who, Jeremy asked himself as he opened his eyes and looked around, hoping to see a strange female standing close. It could be someone from the visiting packs. But Jeremy noticed that there were no women around where they stood waiting for the warriors. They were all at the southern part of the property, getting ready for their run. He turned to face his approaching warriors and felt his knees weaken when the scent got even more intense and delicious. Jeremy swallowed as he felt his eyes shift. His wolf was dying to get out and go to his mate and Jeremy had to do everything in his power not to let that happen as he didn't even know who the said mate was.
By the time the warriors got to their alpha and his betas, Jeremy's skin had broken out in sweat despite the chilly nature of the weather.
"Are you alright Jer?" His best friend and head beta, Philip asked quietly beside him with concern in his eyes.
"I'm fine." Jeremy rasped curtly. "Let's just get this over and done with." He said as he turned to fully face the warriors.
Behind the warriors, with his head covered in a sack and his hands in cuffs was the caught hunter. "Here he is Alpha." Stan said as he pushed the apprehended hunter forward. "We haven't questioned him at all but he keeps saying he means no harm." He reported as he yanked the sack off the head of the hunter. "Those who escaped left their weapons behind." He said pointing at the guns in the possession of one of the warriors. "They're filled with silver bullets. I think the ones who escaped are kids. This one was probably training them."
"I told you I'm..." The hunter began but shut up when the alpha turned his angry eyes on him.
Jeremy had to suppress his groan as he stared into the most beautiful eyes he'd ever seen. They were glassy green with flecks of amber. The man looked to be in his early twenties, around five 'nine in height, lean, and had the whitest blond hair Jeremy had ever seen. It was cropped short on the sides and slighter longer on top. The hunter was drop-dead gorgeous. And he was his mate.
"Fuck!" Jeremy swore as he stared into the frightened eyes of the hunter.
There was one thing everyone knew about Alpha Jeremy Stanton. He hated hunters with a passion because hunters had killed his father and kid brother. He always told his pack that it was sick to simply kill someone when you had no proof that that person was causing harm to other people. Since he and his pack always made it a point never to cause anyone any harm, hunters were to Jeremy, foolish murderers who needed to be taken out when caught. He never killed them though. He rather made his resident witch work on hunters who got caught. And by the time his witch was through with the hunters, their thirst for the hunt was no more.
It was also a known fact that Alpha Jeremy had never understood the concept of same sex relationships. He would accept it if anyone felt they had to be gay, but had never understood what could possibly be nice about that whole orientation when the couple could not even make babies. He thought it was a waste of time and sperm. So for Jeremy, the universe had dealt him the nastiest blow by giving him a mate who was not only a hunter, but was also a man. Jeremy got so mad he didn't just see red, his eyes turned red.
Everyone stepped back in fear, except the hunter. Even if he knew just how deadly the man standing in front of him had just become...which he didn't...he couldn't have moved because the power from those red eye inexplicably had him rooted to the spot. The warriors and betas on the other hand, knew that a red-eyed Jeremy, was a lethal weapon. The last time their alpha had unleashed his Ojah power, it hadn't been pretty and they all remembered very clearly.
Jeremy was not just an alpha, but was also one of the three Ojahs in the Were kingdom. That made Jeremy the only alpha who was also an Ojah, making him the most powerful supernatural being in the Were kingdom. Ojahs were a rare form of shape shifters who were both ruthless assassins and conjurers. An Ojah was so powerful that they couldn't be controlled when their powers were unleashed. Unleashing that power meant the Ojah in question had turned his humanity off. Just one Ojah could slaughter an army within mere seconds. It was therefore very rare for an Ojah to allow that ruthless inhuman side of their being to come out. Even the wolf of an Ojah became uneasy and subdued whenever a werewolf allowed his Ojah power to take over their body because at that point, the sane human was no longer present. The ruthless deadly Ojah spirit had total control over the individual and his wolf. To shut that deadly bloodthirsty spirit down, something very intense needed to occur to force the Ojah back to their senses.
Jeremy's anger and confusion was obviously so intense that it had triggered off his Ojah powers, effectively turning off his humanity. Being an alpha, however, unconsciously held Jeremy back from destroying his pack members and that was the only thing that kept his warriors and betas from fleeing. An Alpha would never destroy his pack and the men were counting on that. As Jeremy stared at his mate, his fangs elongated. What nobody knew was the war raging within him, between the ruthless Ojah who hated what fate had done to him, and his wolf, who simply wanted to mark his mate. As an alpha, Jeremy's wolf was braver than the usual wolf and could to an extent, stand up to the bloodthirsty assassin that Jeremy had become. The war raged on between the Ojah and his wolf. It had been prophesied that his mate was special, the Ojah fumed. But what made this human being special, he wondered angrily. Was it the fact that he was a man? Or was it the fact that he couldn't possibly give him an heir? What kind of silly joke had Luna played on him? And as if being a man wasn't enough, he was a murdering hunter. Jeremy was damn furious at the injustice of it all.
In the end, man and beast had to come to a compromise. Left to the currently heartless and deadly Jeremy alone, the hunter would be dead that very instant but since he was his mate, his stubborn wolf wouldn't allow it. Even in his current state, Jeremy knew the consequences of killing a mate. Luna would never forgive him. He also knew he couldn't reject his mate as that would set a bad example for his pack. But Jeremy didn't give a flying fuck about all that consequence. He just wanted to kill the murdering hunter standing before him. After a fierce argument between him and his wolf, the Ojah agreed not to kill the hunter only if he could punish the hunter in his own way. It was agreed that rather than kill the hunter as Jeremy's rage was calling for, he was going to give him the greatest punishment that any hunter could be given. And that was to turn the hunter into what he hunted. Jeremy would bite the hunter just to turn him but not to mark him as his mate...yet. To worsen the punishment even more, the excruciating pain that came with that act of biting to transform a human into a werewolf, was not going to be masked. He would be made to feel every bit of that pain and even more, as payback for his wicked intentions. Not killing him was all the mercy Jeremy planned on showing the man. And though Jeremy could feel the dread and agitation coming from his wolf for the pain he was about to inflict upon his mate, Jeremy moved with determination towards the hunter...like the predator that he was.
When he got to the hunter, Jeremy turned him around, ripped the back of his shirt to expose the back of his neck, reared back with an angry growl, and then struck...hard. The warriors and the betas gasped at the sound of their alpha's fangs sinking with a crunch into the bone at the back of the hunter's neck. Receiving a bite from an angry alpha was painful enough. But receiving a bite from an angry alpha in the current state of theirs had to be even more painful. And as if that wasn't enough, the bite was being administered on that part of the human body which delivered the most excruciating pain...the back of the neck. That had to be, without a doubt, the most painful bite ever. Even the anguished cry from the hunter didn't give the angry Alpha pause. He rather tightened his hold at the hunter's throat when he tried to get away from his sharp teeth. Jeremy's fangs sunk deep, with intent to cause maximum pain as he allowed the venom to flow into the hunter. The alpha was beyond feeling at that point. He simply wanted to inflict pain and that was exactly what he did. He felt the hunter convulse with utter pain against him but his fangs remained embedded in his neck. He only released the man when he felt him go limp against him in a faint. Jeremy watched stonily as his mate crumbled in a heap at his feet.

Recently, one misguided thug decided to start messing with an innocent bystander on a New York subway. Clearly, he didn't realize the man he was talking to was a United States Marine.
Footage of the incident shows the Muslim bully harassing the Marine, who keeps a cool head for some time before deciding to teach this guy a serious lesson. By the time he does lunge for the thug, everyone could agree the guy deserved it.
Even after the rest of the riders could see it was over for him, the bully keeps going. Fortunately, the Marine demonstrated serious self-restraint and was able to walk away before things got out of hand.
What do you think? Would you have done the same?

Dear Orange,
I am delightfully dumbfounded by the synchronicity of your scything to my 2012 gardening experiences – This year I chucked my Mantis Tiller(s) for a triangular hoe and gardening fork I inherited from my dad, who used them from the 1940's to 2000's; and both with the original wood shafts and handles! These two worthy tools carry on in 2012. The satisfaction of seeing, smelling and hearing so many more things than I would have otherwise is amazing, and I thank you for sharing so poetically your larger farming experience while 'doing the walk'. I thought my newly discovered bit of heaven was limited to those like myself who has an eighth of an acre garden, or less. Oh, not so grasshopper!
I enjoy reading your weekly so much. Hope to see you this season on the farm.

Iam most likely in the minority, but I love hot weather.
When the temperatures reach the 90s, I say, "No sweat." Actually, I love to sweat!
I don't grumble and complain about being too hot — that's because I spend nine, maybe even 10 months of the year feeling like I am an ice cube.
My icy fingers can even appear on a warmish July morning as the boyfriend found out recently as he reached for my hand, felt my cold touch and just shook his head as he proceeded to crush my hands in his to bring the warmth back.
I haven't always been a fan of extreme heat.
Hey, I spent all my childhood summers in Northern Michigan where it seemed most nights were comfortable and seemed we may have experienced a week or two of hot, humid weather, usually in the middle of July, the hottest month in these parts. I remember often waking in the middle of the night feeling a chill and getting up and closing my bedroom window.
Back in those days, my poor dad weathered the heat and humidity of Detroit all summer long as we lounged at the lake, but he was able to come up every weekend for a welcome respite.
I really didn't know much about extreme heat until the summer of 1980 when my parents and I went to Missouri in July for my freshman orientation at the University of Missouri. Talk about miserable as the Midwest was sweltering through a massive heat wave. We didn't even own a fan as we relied on lake breezes to cool us down at home, so we labored to sleep in the sticky dorm rooms, which lacked air conditioning.
The heat was still on when I went off to school in late August 1980, but now I had a fan with me to at least help blow the hot air around. The rest of the years I spent in Missouri, though, I never experienced that kind of extreme heat again.
I also lived through the heat for one summer in Texas. Although it was a fairly normal summer temperature-wise, my walking routine suffered. I worked nights at the Huntsville Item and getting up early to beat the heat and take a walk was difficult, so I mainly spent the summer floating around on my air mattress in the pool at my apartment complex.
But the heat and dryness is no laughing matter this summer as the Midwest again has sweltered through 100-degree temperatures and drought that is withering crops and causing communities to post water restrictions.
The summer of 2012 is now being considered among the worst for drought in the U.S. since the Dust Bowl years of the 1930s as more than half the country is experiencing some form of dryness. Just take a look at the U.S. Drought Monitor (http://droughtmoni tor.unl.edu/) to see how our country is affected by the lack of moisture.
Abnormally dry conditions have reached our area with even drier conditions persisting farther downstate.
Granted, drought, and even too much rain, which the Midwest experienced in the spring of 2011, are usually present somewhere in the world, but with these weather extremes comes a domino effect in that we probably will be facing higher food prices down the line as this summer's crops dry up and ranchers sell off animals due to higher feed prices.
All this just seems to be moving right along with our weird weather in general this year with the record warmth in March coming to mind.
Anyway, I still have trouble complaining about the heat, especially since my ultimate solution to beating it is jumping in the lake that happens to reside in my front yard!
