So….I have been in a "GRAND" funk, Like….not sure what is going on in my mind funk. a week ago I threw away a hand towel, in the trash……I think I meant to drop it in the washer….today I found I had Thrown away a NEW bag of french Croutons for my soup and salads….Is this a side effect of not being on Effexor? I SERIOUSLY do not remember doing either, but KNOW it was me. uggghhh and I am battling my body's response to weather change and doing my best to "avoid" the hospital.
NOW here is the OTHER "JOY" We are going through, Dave (hubby) and I Purchased a new car, Well…..we traded in our 2011 Caliber for a 2014 Dart. We STRESSED no roll over, or NO DEAL. they said….no SWORE there was NO rollover. They LIED…I mean, come ONNNNN! at least be Honest right? say OK there was $1100.00 rollover, but with your discount, its only $100.00. RIGHT? how hard is that? OK now hold on TIGHT!
The Finance handler got us a loan at 5.9% Oh sure Hubby signed the papers, we TRUST this place, this was the place we got our last car! *~*$#(*&@~~*#@**$ WAY TO GO!!! we didn't even look at what we signed…… Our starting price was SUPPOSED to be $19,300, plus tax's $1871,00, Plus Title and Reg. $288.00 So OUT the DOOR??? SUPPOSED to be $21,459.00 What it WAS ????? = $29,000.00 LIKE OH EM GEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! REALLY??
Now we refinanced somewhere else at 4.1% interest before we even made one payment, and went back and left a mark, and plan on going back with a paper for them to sign, because they could NOT tell us WHY the starting price was 26,000 instead of 19,300….and promised that in 6 to 8 weeks we would get a full refund…..how much is a full refund? right? I will not ASS U M E any more…..I typed out a letter for them to sign, or they can write a satisfactory one up themselves, but we are NOT leaving without something in writing. I am going through menopause, and off of Effexor……this is one B……Person they don't want to upset….. Whewewww *NEXT*
Now….today I am scrolling around…and the weatherman says we get the joy of an ICE storm. NO…….NOOOOOOOO…….That is why we LEFT Michigan. So I RUN out to buy a Kerosene heater……Home Depot? sold out……ONE BIG 400.00 one on the shelf as a display? out of box?…hmmmmmm…, I decided to try Lowe's ….sold out, Sam's Club???? sold Out….WALMART???? SOLD OUT. My inner peace settled in……kind of like a oooouuuuummmmmm. it said go back to Home Depot. SO I did…The BIG 400.00 one was GONE! why would my oooouuuummmmm send me back here?
You gotta TRUST your Ooooouuuuummmmm!!! As an employee walked past me, I asked him a question, for the life of me I cannot remember what I asked, but he told me a whole truckload of Heaters was on its way, 20 minuets away. the $139.00 ones! and a nice customer who overheard? he tapped my shoulder and said I might want to grab some Kerosene before all the other shoppers found out the truck was coming, I grabbed 10 gallons (4 bottles), he was right……if I hadn't I would have a heater with no fuel. So we are ready if we lose power, they say a similar storm took the power out here in 1994 for two whole weeks…..we don't even have a gas stove, everything is electric.
I Am Still happy, extremely. I am grateful beyond belief that I even got to be here today, some did not get that blessing. Sometimes things happen that make us struggle, But they are worth every second, every tear, every shiver, every breath. I am a Survivor, Not a Victim!
THIS…IS……LIFE….and I LOVE Life!
I painted this on Wednesday in Memory of Eric Young Jr. My EX-husband Who passed Tragically on 11/25/13 in a car accident. I do have it for sale on ebay, since that heater and fuel left us with 30 bucks in the bank! 😉 its all good!!
I Imagine This is the Walk Between here and "There", its name is "The Walk".

text: We had Dr. Paul Connett in Calgary, Alberta on June 1/19. Global T.V. in their "usual" way covered the story. It was published on-line with comments allowed. I was unaware of the AFS, and Steve Slott,and got into a debate with him, unaware of who he was. It was the most ridiculous debate, as his comments got more bizarre as time went on. I wish I had of copied his comments, because the next day he had removed them. I tried to post this article onto my FB Fluoridation Groups, but was warned twice by FB, it went against their Community Standards. I have now been red flagged by F.B. when I post anything onto my Fluoridation FB groups. So someone must have reported me to FB, as a threat to the WF fight happening in Calgary right now.

Many of us think that housecleaning services are a downgrading job. Maybe because you do not have to go to school to do the job well, or maybe due to the fact that you have to clean up other people's mess in the process. Nevertheless, all of us do housecleaning at some point in our lives. We clean our bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchens. Why then anyone needs to look down on the housecleaning services? Two housecleaning jobs a day will allow you to earn more than a thousand dollars per week. This means that one will be able to make a comfortable living with this job. The job is labor intensive, but the salary and tip are well worth it.
Like any other job out there, if you do a good job, you will be rewarded. Housecleaning services could be done as a part-time or full-time home business. You do not have to have an office outside your home to prove anything. Advertisements can be made with your cell phone. You can send flyers out to your targeted area or group and can just wait for the call. If you wish to do this on your own, you do not need to exert yourself too much. You can do just two house cleaning jobs a day and can schedule your own time. You take Sunday off for instance.
Another suggestion is to do each house cleaning job in three to four hours to accommodate two jobs per day. With time, you will learn a lot of tips that can help you to save time and to do the job more efficiently. If you have money to invest, you can buy the advanced machinery that can help you finish the job easily and efficiently. With time, you will learn many things like how best to clean bathrooms to make the tile sparkle, making use of a toothbrush to reach those corners that are much difficult to clean, etc. In no time, you will become a professional in the field.
If you have access to the Internet, you can go online and search for the best methods to clean a house. The professionals in the field of housecleaning services may have posted and shared many tips and tricks that can help you to finish the job easily. You should always keep in mind that the better the results, the more often your clients would call you back.

After a few weeks of running REALLY bad, things have turned around and my Stars account is respectable (in my own mind) once again.
Since the beginning of August, I've been trying to avoid MTT's while focusing on low limit Sit & Go's in order to build a decent and steady online bankroll. I generally play single table $20+2 and $30+3's with the occasional $50+5, but it got so bad I was "slumming" it at the $10+1 tables. Over a period of 4 weeks (Aug. 9 - Sept. 8) I went 7 for 30 (cashes) in Sit & Go's and three of the cashes were 3rd place with only 2 wins... It was UGLY!
Cmitch and I were talking about the mental aspect of poker and how important it is to have a positive outlook during play. When things were in the basement it got to where I expected superior hands not to hold up. Mainly because THEY WEREN'T, but it's not good when you can "feel" your KK about to get cracked by KQ in a showdown. Flopped sets were getting beaten by higher sets coming on the river, River flushes against my flopped "nut" straight, and of course a few runner runner hands to hammer the nail in that much deeper.
However, since Sept. 8 I have gone 7 for 9 with 3 first place finishes. It's amazing how things can turn around so quickly. Even though it's a very small amount of play, I've noticed that my game has adjusted to a new found sense of confidence. The most apparent change is with continuation bets as they are now much easier to make against an open-check. Where as the week before I probably would have checked a missed flop, I've gotten back on track and am putting the pressure on opponents.
One hand I have to share that helped to get things back on track:
PokerStars Game #2543912556: Tournament #12392094, Hold'em No Limit - Level IV (50/100) - 2005/09/10 - 15:29:26 (ET)

The United States has much to gain and lilttle to lose in sharing much more intelligence with our allies, said the Pentagon's head of intelligence.
"There is very little risk in being more open with sharing," Jim Clapper, undersecretary of Defense for intelligence, told a room full of roughly 1,200 intelligence practitioners and contractors at the annual Geoint conference.
The U.S. intelligence community is "now risk averse… What we need to evolve to is a risk management mode," Clapper said, noting that the US has operational reasons to share intelligence right now. Afghanistan, he said, is "very much an international fight."
On top of that, the U.S. stands to gain much from such sharing. "By the way, this is a two-way street since they bring a lot to the table," he said.
Asked about such sharing, Clapper said that talks are underway with at least one ally.
"That's a very intriguing idea and I have had discussions with one of our commonwealth allies," he told the gathering, adding that "great advantages could accrue in partnership with our allies."
[Full disclosure: USGIF, who put on the Geoint conference, paid our airfare and hotel so we could cover this event.]

We live in an era where people walk around with little computers in their pockets; all equipped with webcams and microphones. This has given birth to a new kind of very affordable communication, used to be called 'video-conferencing'. But unlike in the past, everyone can do it as long as they have a smartphone. You don't need to pay a fortune to be in a room with professional cameras, instead it can all take place on the go. Having this technology has changed the dating world, as we don't need to even be in the same room as someone to see them get naked. But any technology is a two-side blade; where both good and bad things can happen. Today we ask if using webcams for booty calls is in fact a safe practice, or whether it can backfire and get you into trouble…
Webcam with strangers
These days you can use naughty dating sites to meet people who just want to have a bit of fun. Nothing wrong with that at all, in fact adult dating is always rising in popularity and it's not all for weirdos and perverts. Some perfectly normal people use those sites; and the concept has changed from being underground to being almost a mainstream thing. It is now very easy to arrange a sex chat with a stranger, and it certainly won't take that long between meeting that person and getting each other off in front of your webcams. In most cases, as long as you take some time to message the person and get to know them a bit; your webcam antiques will be fine. However not all of it is safe; especially when you search for it in the wrong places.
Say no to Facebook sex
Sex dating sites such as http://www.localbangs.com/local-fuck are the right place to go, after all people go there for sex and it is therefore not out-of-place to do so. The one place that gets pretty dangerous for online sex is the social media we use the most: Facebook. You know when you get that friendship request; you don't know that person but their profile picture looks like the perfect sexy model, male or female. They want to befriend you even though you don't even know them; which should start rigging alarm bells straight away. Most people who try to befriend you like that on Facebook are scammers, looking to make a buck on people's loneliness and desperation. So they contact you, you accept them as a friend (which you shouldn't do); they then engage in a naughty conversation that goes something like this: "I feel horny and I want to see you naked right now. Let's have a sex on a webcam." So you oblige (you shouldn't), cameras are on, that person starts stripping and you do the same. Then suddenly the chat cuts, no way to get it starting again. Then you received that message: "transfer money to X account or we will show your video to your friends and family"… a typical scam, and a very embarrassing one too…
How to stay safe
So your first order of the day is to never have webcam sex with a stranger on Facebook, or any other social media for this matter. But that's not all you can do to protect yourself. You see webcams have good definition these days, meaning people can see what you have in the background. So don't let you ID, bank statement, family pictures or anything else to be seen that could give away your privacy. A lot of scammers are just fishing for information so that they could commit identity fraud; using your credentials to make online purchases and so on. The best you can do is not give away any of those details. And finally, the most logical and obvious advice: don't just jump into anything sexual with people you have just met online. Instead take the time to chat with them normally (no sex) and try to build a picture of the situation. Get to know people a bit, you won't be able to tell a lot from talking online but you might be able to spot if the person is faking it. When that person is getting naked in front of their webcam for you; ask yourself: "is this actually happening or is this just a pre-recorded video?"Talk to them and make sure they actually respond to specific questions, or else it could well be a pre-recorded one. So yeah, you can have webcam sex but you need to be careful and only look for it in the places where it is appropriate to do so. Keep to sex dating sites and forget social media, Facebook is for friends and family, not dirty webcam chat!

Exposure compensation and Metering mode
Let's first discuss about sport metering, my realization this is the easiest metering mode to deal with as explained above. I always focus near or exactly at animal eye depending upon the complexion i set the exposure. But in case of tiger I always increase the exposure a little and I have got dramatic color contrast. In case of zebra I usually reduce little bit, though lot of people say no exposure compensation. The reason is the white color in zebra is not really perfect white its a mixture of white and grey as these animal always in dust. For egrets increase of Exposure compensation and for eagle I decrease the exposure by 1 stop.
Again, if I am using matrix and evaluative metering then I need consider the whole image. Let say a black bird flying on the blue sky. Depending upon the size of the bird I set the exposure compensation which always varies. If the Sky or the bright part is covering most of the image then the exposure compensation should go towards positive side though my subject is black, and Vice versa. That's why I feel that evaluative metering is most difficult metering mode to deal with. Stay tuned for focusing next.

When in doubt, I like to use spot metering to meter a neutral area of the scene. I then compensate from there. This method has worked the best for me, so far.

Work Text:
Cooper walks in, Billy and JT by his side, to the sound of laughter, the smell of smoke and too much alcohol and the sight of Daly Cherry Evans half naked, half passed out on the couch with Ashley Harrison straddling his legs. All activity stops when they walk in but resumes immediately when the others realise that it's only their team mates.
"Hey, Coops, Billy, JT, come join us" Jharal yells, sitting away from the center gaggle of drunken men, with Justin's arm around his shoulders. Cooper's eyes flicker to Jharal, makes sure he is safe and snap back to Daly almost instantly.
"What do you think you're doing?" he demands and Ashley looks up at him, confused. Some of the boys take a step back, because even in their inebriated state, they can tell when Cooper's angry. And when Cooper's angry, safest place to be is out of sight or atleast out of reach.
"We thought we'd give him a proper initiation to the team, mate," Ashley offers by of an explanation.
Daly turns his head slightly towards Cooper. "'s okay."
Ashley grins, "See, he gave us permission."
Cooper takes a deep breath and feels Billy's hand reassuring and calming on his back.
"Get off him. Now!"
Ashley blinks.
"Getting him drunk and raping him is initiation?" Cooper snaps and Ashley blanches.
"No- that's not-"
"I'm counting to three, if you don't move, you will spend the next three days running laps."
Ashley looks around for assistance but everyone else has already backed a safe distance away. Cooper never makes idle threats. Ashley scrambles off Daly in a hurry, holding his hands up for peace. Cooper puts him out of his mind as soon as he's off the couch and kneels down by Daly who looks at him with huge eyes.
"'ooper," he says, voice filled with wonderment.
"Idiot," Cooper mutters before turning to Billy and JT waiting beside him and Matty Ballin who has appeared out of hiding. Cooper ignores him completely.
"Help me to get him up," he says, already reaching down to pull Daly up by a hand. Billy immediately takes his other arm and together they get Daly to Cooper's room, which he shares with Cam, with minimal fuss. Matty follows with uncertain steps.
"You call yourself a friend?" Cooper snaps at him before slamming the door in his face.
He doesn't give Matty's pale face anymore thought before turning around to see Daly being safely tucked up in Cam's bed.
"Cooper-" Billy starts but Cooper waves him off.
"It's fine. I'll look after him. You two can go. I know you had plans, so…"
Billy and JT had been about to head off when Cooper had gotten the text and they had insisted in coming with him to rescue the latest addition to the Maroons from getting more than he ever would have bargained for.
"Are you sure?" JT asks and Cooper raises an eyebrow at him.
"He's passed out. How much trouble is he going to be?" he asks. He lives with Brett Finch. He's used to looking after passed out drunks.
Billy smiles. "Thanks, Coops. Call us if anything happens okay."
Cooper watches his friends heading out and sighs. He picks up a water bottle from his bag, and a couple of aspirins from his selection of medicine and puts them at the bedside table.
"What the hell were you thinking?" he wonders aloud, looking down at Daly.
"I just-" Cooper starts when Daly suddenly speaks. He is looking up at Cooper with sleepy eyes. "-wanted to be a part of the team."
"That's not the way to go about it, you idiot." Cooper keeps his voice softer than it should be because Daly looks so pathetic at the moment that he doesn't have the heart to hurt him any further. And if he is true to himself, and he is most of the time, he likes this bright eyed kid.
"I'm sorry." Suddenly there are tears is Daly's eyes and he's crying. Cooper fights back the instinct to balk. There are only a few things Cooper would admit to being not so good at, and people crying is definitely one of them.
But he sits down by the bed anyway. Daly curls towards him gratefully.
"Don't tell Kieran, okay," Daly pleads as Cooper pets his hair, "I don't want him to know I'm such an idiot."
"Of course not," Cooper promises, slightly proud of himself for having guessed at their relationship long ago. He is generally never wrong about these things.
Daly falls asleep like that, head on Cooper's lap and hands fisted in Cooper's shirt and tear tracks drying on his face.
Cooper looks down at him and sighs again.
He wakes up and there is a warm bundle pressed against his side. Cooper frowns and opens his eyes. He sees a fuzzy blond head nestled at the crook of his neck.
Oh. Right. Daly.
He twists his head to look at the time. 7.15am. They have 45 minutes until training.
"Coops?" Daly says in a hesitant voice.
"You're awake?" Cooper asks in surprise.
Daly makes an affirmative noise but makes no move to get up.
"Thank you for looking after me," Daly says in the same quiet voice.
"How's your head?" he asks, not really knowing how to respond to Daly's sincerity.
"Hurts," Daly laughs softly.
"Here, I have-" Cooper makes to reach for the tablets and water by the bedside table but Daly holds on to him tightly and Cooper looks down at him in confusion.
"Can we stay? Like this for a little while?"
Cooper blinks but lies back down.
"You can have five minutes," he says finally.
Daly chuckles and Cooper feels it vibrate through his chest.
"I used to be scared of you, you know."
Cooper really doesn't know what to say to that either.
"You're the best half back in the game and I'm just…" Daly trails off.
"Stop fishing for compliments," Cooper says, maybe a little sharper than he intended because Daly tenses up beside him, "You know you're good. Do you think you would have made it into the best origin team in history otherwise?"
"I hope you know," Cooper tries when Daly doesn't say anything, "Your haircut is a crime against humanity."
Daly laughs and Cooper relaxes a little. "It's not that bad. Wolfie said he likes it" Daly protests.
Cooper scoffs. "Wolfie's fashion sense is still stuck in the last century. Take it from me, okay," he says, fingers combing through what little hair Daly has, "Find a better hairdresser."
"Okay," Daly gives in with a laugh, breath warm against Cooper's neck.
"That's five minutes," Cooper announces suddenly and sits up after untangling himself from Daly's long limbs. He stands up and Daly is looking up at him. He looks so young, smiling up at him like that, so innocent that all Cooper wants for a moment is to wrap him up and keep him safe.
Cooper likes to claim people. And he realises that he's already thinking of Daly as his'. He knows it's not possible to keep Daly safe from the hurts of the world. Knows life will make its way through Daly, leave him scarred and jaded. But damn it if Cooper lets that happen on his watch.
"Are you gonna lie there all day," he snaps, "Let's go!"
Daly sits up so quickly that he has to clutch a hand at his head in pain. Cooper watches him for a moment to make sure he doesn't pass out. When Daly reaches for the aspirin by the bed, Cooper finally walks off towards the shower and doesn't let Daly see the smile on his face.

The Hadley Snowmobile Club is one of the smallest clubs with the association. Our location on the flatlands of the Pioneer Valley sets us apart from most clubs in ways that are relatively obvious. Maintaining our trail system over mostly farm fields, with very short sections of privately owned wooded areas, means that we don't have a lot of clearing to do in the fall. But when the snow arrives, we offer some of the most beautiful and spectacular winter scenery in the state!
From the banks of the Connecticut River to the summit house at Skinner State Park, a ride over our trails will leave you wondering if there was a way we could travel by snowmobile, ALL the time!
Trails are open. Grooming will begin Tuesday, December 3, 2019.
We will not be selling pumpkins at the EXPO in November, so if you would like a Sledneck Pumpkin, email us. Thanks

Are this Hong Kong seller's flash drives genuine?
At the time of writing seller mcpower168 has no feedback for flash drives having only recently started selling these. Previously the seller only offered other items all of which were sold at a loss – current feedback is only for these loss-making items. This suggests to us that this could be another carefully built ID set up for fraud.
As usual we strongly advise ebayers to test all flash memory with the free program h2testw.
Report in to SOSFakeFlash if your testing confirms you have a false capacity device.
One Response
This seller has decided to change ID to avoid detection.
The new ID is gmltd2000.
Could it be that the article here has had an effect on the seller?

Threads of Suspicion by Dee Henderson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I took a break from my regular go-to Christian Historical reads and picked up this gem! It's been awhile since I'd read anything by Dee Henderson but she has never disappointed!
Evie Blackwell is working on a task force who is trying to close up cold cases. She chooses to work on the case of Jenna, a missing college girl. Her partner, David, chooses to work on the cold case of Saul, a missing PI. I love how the author depicts a "day in the life" of a detective going through evidence, conducting interviews, etc and sharing a breakdown of how to break a case. Evie and David discover many similarities in their cases and, while they are working on their own respective cases, find ways to work together to help each other solve the cases they have presented to them.
Evie and David have a great mutual respect for each other and the work that they do. They are both in relationships that are very similar as well. David is dating Maggie, the lead for the hit band, Triple M, while Evie is dating a wealthy financier. Each relationship has commitment issues and having each other to bounce their ideas off of is helpful to both David and Evie.
I was not aware that this was book 2 in a series until I finished it, but I did suspect it some as I was reading. There were references to events in the past that had me a bit intrigued at times but I don't feel that the prior information was essential to understanding and enjoying this book. It could be (and was) enjoyed as a stand-alone book. That being said, there are several looming questions that I have that will no doubt be covered in the next book in this series!! I do enjoy a great cliffhanger!!
This was a very fast-paced, enjoyable read! I recommend it to those who enjoy a great mystery with a little bit of romance mixed in!
I did receive a complimentary copy of this book via NetGalley. Many thanks to Dee Henderson and Bethany House Publishers for allowing me to review this book in exchange for my honest thoughts.

Monday, February 10, 2076
Sin sent several of his drones to the target building, timing their arrival to just after sunset. With the darkness he could now see inside and watched the corporate wage-slaves finish their day. Gradually they left, taking the elevators up to the corporate housing in the floors above. At 8:00 PM, security guards started patrolling the floors. The team, watching the video feeds from Sin's drones, realized that there was only 10 minutes between patrols when no security was on any particular floor, not the 20 minutes they were told to expect [by the GM who goofed the timing originally]. This meant their available time to move and do what needed to be done was tighter than anticipated, but still usable with their current plan. They also noted that occasionally employees would return to their workstations after hours, sometimes for just a few minutes, sometimes for as much as two hours. This was something they would need to watch for during the job.
Sin also spent time investigating the roof or the building across the street from the target for security, as this is where the team would start their infiltration. The building was a 5-story office building with offices leased by numerous small businesses. This meant security overall was not as tight and Bookie would be able to loop the roof cameras during the run.
Tuesday, February 11, 2076
The team arrived at the launching roof at 8:00 PM, with Bookie easily hacking the security cameras and looping them. Scouting the 4th and 5th floors of the RiddleNetics building across the street from this vantage point allowed the team to notice a few things. Murdoc could now see that the rooms with four interior walls were magically warded. He could not see the server room on the 4th floor as it was on the far side of the building, but it was likely warded as well, meaning the invisibility spell Void would have on her might not survive her crossing the barrier or worse, warn the mage who cast the barrier that someone just broke into the server room. Murdoc and Void discussed how to handle it and decided Void would attempt to push through without breaking the barrier. If the invisibility spell dropped it wouldn't be a disaster, but it would require more work to keep her off any cameras.
Second, several members of the team noticed that the cubicle directly facing the Archival Records room on the 5th floor was occupied by someone working late. This was going to be a stickier problem, especially if Void was no longer invisible once she attempted this room or lost the invisibility spell while trying this room. With too many variables to work it all out, the team decided to go forward anyways and trust to luck and improvisation to get the job done. Plus, they had to be done by 5:00 AM, so they didn't have time for a new plan.
Watching the first security patrol make its rounds, Prometheus fired his grapple gun just as they finished walking the 4th floor at 8:28 PM. The grapple caught the railing of the corner pocket balcony on the 4th floor and Prometheus tightened the stealth rope on a high point on his end. Murdoc then cast invisibility on Void, Killroy, and Bookie, who only now learned he would be making the crossing in a body bag, carried by Killroy. At first Bookie refused, but then Killroy said, "C'mon, man – don't be a Sin." [This was a reference to Sin nearly dying on a previous run.]
Faced with this argument, Bookie had to agree it would be safer for him, so he climbed into the bag and zipped it up. Killroy then shouldered the bag's strap, attached his zipline hook, and swung out across the street on the line. As the line was descending at a shallow angle, it seemed to take forever to make the transit across, but eventually Killroy arrived at the far end and climbed up into the pocket balcony with Bookie in the bag. [Killroy is the physically strongest member of the team.] Void followed across immediately after. Once she was safely across, Prometheus applied the catalyst stick to the stealth rope, which dissolved.
Void was able to bypass the maglock securing the [bulletproof] glass door and the three of them entered the corner office. The decorations were typical corporate middle management, with an animated image on one wall showing a ship in storm-tossed seas, the captain (who looked suspiciously like the CEO of RiddleNetics) steering the ship with a firm hand. Back across the street, Prometheus, Murdoc, and The Fin kept watch on the areas inside the RiddleNetics building they could view in case something unexpected happened. [Prometheus' implanted commlink was a high enough rating that it could get a message through the jammers and anti-Wi-Fi paint, even if no one on the intrusion team could answer back.]
Bookie accessed the terminal built into the office desk. It was significantly less effective than his cyberdeck, but it was hard-wired into the buildings matrix systems and registered as belonging there, allowing Bookie a freedom of action he would not have had otherwise. He immediately started looking for the requested paydata.
Once Bookie was inside the system, Void exited the office and made her way to the server room, leaving Killroy to keep Bookie safe. Void arrived at the server room well before the next security patrol stepped out of the elevator. She bypassed the card-reader maglock easily and then slowly started pushing through the magical barrier. She could feel the barrier resisting as it flowed across her, but she passed through it without breaking it and with the invisibility spell on her intact. [She rolled a single net hit against the barrier, but that was all she needed to get the single spell on her through.] Void let out a quiet sigh of relief and then located the terminal she needed. She plugged the datastick with the first computer agent into the terminal and hit the Run button. Then she settled to wait the five minutes it took to the agent to run.
Three minutes into her wait, Void heard the beep of someone accessing the server room door with a passcard. Three human males wearing what could only be described as "movie ninja costumes" hurriedly entered the server room, shushing each other. Not certain what was going on but recognizing non-professionals, Void backed up against the wall between the two banks of servers she was standing by. The three "ninjas" started setting up a microcamera, an AR projector, and a motion sensor in front of the row Void was hiding in. They were clearly setting up some sort of prank, but Void was concerned they would either accidentally bump into her or make enough noise to draw the attention of the guards.
They almost alerted the guards, shutting up just as the guards were passing the door. One of the two guards paused to listen and then opened the door to look in. The "ninjas" hid and each held their breath until the guard decided it was his imagination and resumed his patrol. The "ninjas" started to laugh until they shushed each other again. Void was contemplating stabbing them, but decided she didn't want anyone wondering what a shadowrunner was doing in the server room. Still, these clowns offended her sense of professionalism.
Once they were done setting up their prank, the "ninjas" left, making way more noise than they thought they were. Void waited until she was certain they weren't coming back and had not been spotted by the security patrol before studying the problem in front of her. The "ninjas" had set up their prank right in front of the banks Void was hiding between. Looking it over, she realized she could reach the power switch of the motion sensor without triggering it as she knew exactly where it was [she watched the "ninjas" activate it]. Once the computer agent finished running, she retrieved it, turned the motion sensor off, pocketed the AR projector, stepped past the motion sensor, and then carefully re-activated it. Following the path of the "ninjas" out of the room, she then made her own way across the 4th floor, returning to the corner office where Killroy and Bookie were waiting.
While Void had been dealing with the server room, Bookie had toured the local matrix and located the bonus paydata on RiddleNetics bid for Aquamatics. Bookie also located evidence that one of the account executives was skimming money from the company. He copied that evidence as well to see if Mr. Johnson would pay extra for it.
With half the job done and the bonus paydata secured, Void went back out to the pocket balcony. Balancing on the balcony railing, Void focused her chi into strengthening her legs and then ran up the outside of the building to the balcony on the next floor. [Void used the Strength Boost and Wall Running adept powers plus some Edge to accomplish this feat. It was impressive.] She then tied off a rappelling line that she, Killroy, and Bookie would take to the ground when they left. [She did not toss the rope down at this point to avoid a pedestrian noticing the line and alerting security.]
Void broke into the corner office on the 5th floor (which had better quality decorations than the one on the 4th floor – this executive was clearly more self-confident). She could see the cubicle lights from whoever was working in the cubicle facing the door to the Archival Records room, but did not have the angle to see who it was or what they were doing. Void waited until the next security patrol passed by.
Once the patrol passed, Void left the corner office and approached the cubicle, staying low to avoid being seen. She used her endoscope to peek into the cube without having to look over or around the cubicle walls. Sitting in the cubicle was an elf woman playing a MMO on the company server. There was also a timer counting down that Void realized was timed to when a security patrol would next pass by – what Miss Elf was doing wasn't corporate approved!
As Miss Elf was wearing headphones and AR goggles and clearly involved in a large combat online, Void realized Miss Elf probably wouldn't notice anyone or anything that walked by behind her, hence the timer. Freshly emboldened, Void stepped over to the Archival Records door and bypassed the lock on the door. She slowly pushed through the magical barrier and again the barrier gave just enough to let Void and the invisibility spell through. Void closed the door just as Miss Elf's warning timer went off. Looking [invisibly] through the door window, Void could see Miss Elf switch her video display over to a spreadsheet full of numbers and curves [with a small window still showing the battle] just before the security patrol passed. Once the patrol passed by, Miss Elf switched the battle back to the full-screen.
Inside the Archival Records room, Void located the needed terminal and ran the computer agent. Just over five minutes later Void exited the Archival Records room with Miss Elf none-the-wiser. Void then exited the office to the pocket balcony and signaled for Sin to drive up the getaway vehicle. She then dropped the rappelling line down the side of the building and rappelled down to the street. Killroy and Bookie, who were waiting to see Void go by on the rappelling line, exited the 4th floor office and followed Void down the line to the street where Sin's vehicle drove up. Killroy and Bookie climbed into the car as Void applied her own catalyst stick to the stealth rope rappelling line. As the line dissolved, Void entered the car and then Sin (remotely) drove the trio away.
Meanwhile, Murdoc, Prometheus, and The Fin left the staging building, taking a separate vehicle away to the offices of the Pleiades Group. There Murdoc and Prometheus transferred to Sin's vehicle while Void passed the datasticks over to The Fin. Bookie supplied a third datastick with all the embezzlement evidence on it, explaining what it was to The Fin. The Fin then took a nap in one of the side rooms as the meeting with the client at Jack's Box Seats wasn't for another eight hours. The rest of the team dispersed.
Wednesday, February 12, 2076
At 6:00 AM, The Fin arrived at Jack's Box Seats. In the dawn light and without all the AR illusions, the area looked sparse and disreputable. There was a single vehicle parked by the front door to the sports bar. The Fin parked her car next to it and got out of her car. As she approached the other car, the front door of the sports bar opened and an orc woman in a suit leaned out and asked her business. The Fin indicated she had a meeting and the orc woman waved her inside the sports bar.
Inside the closed sport's bar, seated at the only table without chairs on it, was a human male in a an expensive but off-the-rack business suit [the type of things The Fin notices], a Shiawase Cyber-5 cyberdeck and a Fairlight Caliban commlink sitting on the table. The Fin approached the man who asked her if she had the datasticks. The Fin slid the two computer agent datasticks across the table and the man slotted them into the cyberdeck. After checking some AR readouts, he picked up the commlink and said, "We're good."
At that point every screen and display in the entire sports bar activated. On every one of them was the grinning face of a troll in a tailored business suit that The Fin immediately recognized – it was Mr. Jumbotron. He congratulated The Fin and the Pleiades Group on a job well done and asked if she had any additional information. The Fin told Mr. Jumbotron she had the entire RiddleNetics bid package, plus evidence one of the account executives was embezzling. This caught Mr. Jumbotron's attention. He and The Fin negotiated a while before settling on a good price for this additional paydata. The Fin slid the third datastick with all the paydata across the table to Mr. Jumbotron's flunky. Mr. Jumbotron then had all of the agreed upon money transferred to the Pleiades Group's company account. After a few pleasantries, The Fin left the meeting. On the way home she split the money and paid the team their shares. When she got home she immediately went to sleep – she was still short on sleep.
Later that day, the local news channels broke a major story about RiddleNetics using the homeless in the Redmond Barrens to test their anti-nerve gas filters. Evidence had been leaked by "unnamed internal sources" at RiddleNetics, including videos of the failed tests. Many of the test subjects died without ever being told what they were really testing. Shortly thereafter the story went national and RiddleNetics had to start performing major damage control.
Thursday, February 13, 2076
At midnight The Fin received a call from Svetlana. Svetlana had a rush job from a client who was asking for "the Monkey Burger team". Was The Fin interested? Thinking on it a bit, The Fin asked, "When's the meeting and how much are they offering?"
End of Session
[Next run: The Saint Valentine's Day Monkey Burger Massacre and BBQ!]
[Also, I'm back on a project at work with a major client,so my writing time is back to being a little crimped. Therefore, session notes might not get updated as promptly as I'd like. On the plus side, I'm still employed and I can't argue with that right now.]

AMERICAN SlTCOlVl
BBCZ, starts Mon 4 Sep, 11.20pm. Every once in a while, the dark forces of terrestrial television conspire to prevent their more impressionable viewers from making it to bed at a reasonable hour. Recently, our slumber has been criminally prevented by late- night screenings of Big Brother, a programme which holds a guilty fascination despite having all the dramatic tension of the contents of your washing machine.
At least the now-defunct, love-it- or-hate-it sitcom Seinfeld always prided itself on being about precisely nothing, a healthy policy which left it balancing comfortably at the top of the US ratings for much of its nine-year run. Yet, while daily re-runs continue to attract zillions of viewers Stateside, over here the show has been consigned to the same anti-social time slot enjoyed by fellow American smash hits such as the late, great Larry Sanders Show.
Now, with the snooker and darts seasons well and truly at an end, those cautious types at the BBC are reluctantly allowing access to Seinfeld's final moments for the few remaining mortals without access to digital and cable. For the uninitiated, much of Seinfeld's appeal lies in its undemanding familiarity. Every episode runs to the same busy formula: Jerry goes on an abortive series of dates with gorgeous-psycho-with-strange- fetish.
Meanwhile, best mate and downtrodden, bespectacled nerd George Costanza hatches yet another scheme to rid himself of his nagging fiancee/bullying parents/job at New York Yankees. Elsewhere, the ever-eating Elaine (Jerry's platonic girlfriend) goes on an abortive series of dates with handsome-psycho-with-strange-fetish while fretting over some cock-up at the office.
At the same time, Jerry's neighbour (gangly, tall-haired clumsy clown Cosmo Kramer) hatches his latest moneymaking scheme; rickshaw tours of the Big Apple, warming clothes in ovens for the homeless, that kind of thing. A series of coincidences bring the four plot-lines into collision at the end of each episode, usually in
DETECTIVE THRILLER Waking The Dead BBCT, lvlon 4—Tue 5 Sep, 9.30pm.
Undemanding familiarity with hilarious consequences
either the local diner or Jerry's apartment. With hilarious consequences.
While much of this random silliness is based on the real-life experiences of Seinfeld and his co-writer Larry David, the greatest pleasure is derived from the series' minor characters, including Wayne Knight as lecherous mailman Newman plus Jerry Stiller and Estelle Harris as George's parents from hell.
Of course, it's easy to understand why certain sections of the comedy-loving public would prefer to tune into Big Brother, whose most amusing incident to date has been the cast's tortoise-like reaction to their chip-pan fire. The Seinfeld plot seems based on the notion that Jerry is irresistible to women, hence the endless stream of wooden lovelies that have graced the series — must be that sexy mullet. Worse than that, punchlines and changes of scene are signalled by that relentless Mark King-esque slap-bass riff, a device even more annoyingly intrusive than canned laughter during your average BBC sitcom.

Former National Security Agency senior executive and whistleblower Thomas Drake revealed himself this week as the source for a lawsuit alleging the NSA conducted "blanket, indiscriminate surveillance" of Salt Lake City during the 2002 Winter Olympics.
In a declaration filed in discovery in the case in U.S. district court in Utah, Drake asserted the NSA, in coordination with the FBI, scooped up and stored the content of emails and text messages sent and received by anyone in the city and Olympic venues — including American citizens.
