Broker's comments: What sets "Odyssey" apart from others on the market is what makes this boat so special! It has only been used in fresh water since purchased new through RCR Yachts, receiving annual professional yard service; it has had only one owner, stored under its fully fitted winter cover during the layup season. The Light Grey gelcoat hull, in excellent condition with factory rub rails to protect the hull sides against dings or dents along with the synthetic teak toe rails that never need maintenance keep it looking like new. Factory installed Teak Decks, cockpit sole and seating which offers superior footing and beauty are in excellent condition. A Fischer-Panda Generator powers the A/C & reverse cycle heat when off shore, charges the batteries and will run any 110v accessories while at anchor. Canvas consists of a custom two piece winter cover which covers all the way to the waterline, a light Grey Sunbrella Dodger, Bimini and connector piece, also custom cockpit cushions with matching back rests! The oven has never been used, the interior wood is in excellent condition, only 507 hours on the 54HP Yanmar sail drive and only 134 hours on the Genset! This yacht is hardly used at all and it shows. Odyssey is available for co-brokerage, asking far below replacement, it offers an excellent opportunity for a buyer to get a practically new boat at a used boat price. It is fully found and ready to go!
Joel Dionne Yachts is pleased to assist you in the purchase of this vessel. This boat is centrally listed by RCR Buffalo.

You should consume only 25 percent to 35 percent of your total calories per day from fat, with a significant portion from good fats like omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. According to the American Heart Association, women should get at least five to 10 percent of their total daily calories from omega-6 fatty acids (equal to 12 to 20 grams), and anywhere from 0.5 to 3 grams of omega-3 fatty acids, depending on individual risk for heart disease.
If you lose weight suddenly or for unknown reasons, talk to your health care professional immediately. Unexplained weight loss may indicate a serious health condition. And even if it doesn't, simply being underweight is linked to menstrual irregularity, menstrual cessation (and sometimes, as a result, dental problems, such as erosion of the enamel and osteoporosis) and a higher risk of early death.
A 45-year-old woman who gets less than 30 minutes of daily physical activity in addition to her normal routine should consume six ounce of grains; two and a half cups of vegetables; one and a half cups of fruit; three cups of milk; five ounces of meat and/or beans; five teaspoons of oil; and just 195 calories of additional fat and sugar. With a higher level of daily activity (30 to 60 minutes), this woman would be able to consume a little more in certain food groups: her fruit intake could rise to two cups; meat and beans to five and a half ounces; oils to six teaspoons; and extra fat and sugar to 265 calories.
Notice that alcohol isn't included in a food group. If you drink alcohol, do so in moderation, up to one drink per day for women and two drinks per day for men. Alcohol offers little nutritional value, and when used in excess, can cause short-term health damage, such as distorted vision, judgment, hearing and coordination; emotional changes; bad breath; and hangovers. Long-term effects may include liver and stomach damage, vitamin deficiencies, impotence, heart and central nervous system damage and memory loss. Abuse can lead to alcohol poisoning, coma and death. Pregnant women should not drink at all because alcohol can harm the developing fetus and infant. According to the March of Dimes, more than 40,000 babies are born each year with alcohol-related damage. Even light and moderate drinking during pregnancy can hurt your baby. If you are breastfeeding, discuss drinking alcohol with your health care professional. After clearing it with your doctor, you may be able to have an occasional celebratory single, small alcoholic drink, but you should abstain from breastfeeding for two hours after that drink.
Good sources of iron include liver, kidneys, red meat, poultry, eggs, peas, legumes, dried fruits and dark, green leafy vegetables. Three ounces of cooked chicken liver contains 7.2 mg of iron; a cup of cooked spinach contains 6.4 mg. Your health care professional will probably recommend iron supplements during pregnancy (probably starting at 30 mg per day).
A 55-year-old woman who gets less than 30 minutes of daily physical activity should eat five ounces of grains; two cups of vegetables; one and a half cups of fruit; three cups of milk; five ounces of meat and beans; five teaspoons of oils, and no more than 130 calories of additional fat and sugar. If she got 30 to 60 minutes of daily exercise, she could increase her intake to six ounces of grains; two and a half cups of vegetables; and up to 265 additional calories of fat and sugar.

WRC 9 Xbox Review: Don't Cut
4th September, 2020 Gary Teasdale
Deeply immersive gameplay
Fantastic audio
Concise and helpful career tutorials
Free next-gen upgrade
Some stages are the same as from the last game
WRC 9 is an amazing rally game with stunning graphics, but a bit too much deja-vu
Release date: 8th September 2020
Genre: Racing, Rally
Platforms: Xbox One, Series X, PS4, PS5, Windows PC
Reviewed on: Xbox One X
Game Supplied by: Publisher
There's something immensely satisfying about nailing a drift around a hairpin bend and finding that perfect flow between corners. With your co-driver reeling off a steady stream of pace notes, your concentration levels are at their limit as you try to translate the vocal commands into an optimal line. You are always thinking several steps ahead, all the while focussing on the current corner.
It's a kind of driving you don't get in circuit racing. I can play Forza and hold a conversation, even taking my hand off the controller to grab a drink going down a straight. In WRC 9, there are times when I hardly dare blink, let alone allow my mind to wander. It's an assault on the senses. An immersive experience very few games can provide.
I've never driven a real rally car, but WRC 9 makes me feel like I could.
A graphical overhaul
WRC 9 is a gorgeous looking game. The new lighting system gives a tangible depth to everything you see. Working alongside the dynamic weather system, it makes for a significant improvement over WRC 8, itself a great looking game. Sunlight flashes through the trees casting flickering shadows over your dashboard, and sunsets crest over hills, momentarily obscuring your vision as you pass the peak, greeted by a picturesque vista as ribbons of asphalt or gravelly trails wind through the landscape in front of you, all rendered in beautiful 4k on the Xbox One X.
Track surfaces have realistic-looking textures, and it's possible to judge how the car will behave just by reading the terrain in front of you. I've bandied the word around a lot in this review, but it is utterly immersive.
It's not just the graphics that impress, though. The audio in WRC 9 is outstanding, too. As a cockpit driver, I could hear the stones chipping the underside of my car, the swoosh of the wipers as the rain beats down on the windscreen, and the growl of the engine and whine of the transmission as I stepped on the go-fast pedal and wrenched every last bit of horsepower from the turbocharged engine.
It's magnificent, and it truly feels like the pinnacle of what is possible with the current hardware.
The most authentic WRC game yet
The handling in the WRC games has steadily improved over the last few iterations. The dreaded controller twitch has been ironed out, and now it's far more manageable. In the full-fat WRC spec cars, it's still possible to over-correct into a tank-slapper, but with a bit of practice and smooth inputs, it's much more manageable than in last years game.
Cutting corners and riding bumpy ground at the apex and exit of turns used to be a recipe for disaster, but suspension simulation improvements allow you to much more realistically ride this uneven ground without fear of being thrown off the edge off a cliff or smashed into a tree that has inconsiderately been placed right in front of your car.
Weight transfer is far more tangible now, and feels natural, making loading the weight up before you enter a corner more intuitive than it used to be. Adding a whiff of opposite lock, flicking the steering back and applying a judicial amount of handbrake sees you majestically drifting around corners. Misjudge the turn, though, and the momentum will see you unceremoniously thrown into a wall or vast abyss that always happens to be located at the edge of the most tantalising hairpins.
All of these improvements to the handling have lifted WRC 9 to another level. Where the previous games were great fun, they never quite provided that fluid and authentic off-road driving experience you get in WRC's main rival, DiRT Rally 2.0. Now, there's a new contender for the crown of best rally sim, and for me, when you factor in the superior stage design, WRC 9 has edged in front.
The career in WRC 9 is a direct evolution of the one found in WRC 8. Progression is made through a calendar of available events, alternating between the scheduled WRC races, and a selection of training and special events to fill the downtime between them. Everything you do earns cash and skill points, so it's worth filling your calendar.
I like that WRC 8 gives you the freedom to progress at your own pace. You can begin in Junior WRC, or if you are feeling confident, go straight for a WRC 3 trial. Coming straight from WRC 8 and Dirt Rally 2.0, I went straight for the WRC 3 tryout and passed first-time, even with some admittedly abysmal driving.
The Junior WRC class and WRC 3 are great fun to drive, but the lack of power means you don't get that visceral thrill you do in the higher classes. If you're new to rally games, it's probably advisable to cut your teeth in these more forgiving classes, and you can run several seasons in the lower classes with no pressure to move on until you are ready.
If you're like me, and can't wait to get your hands on the Rally-bred monsters, though, there is a shortcut to get there: Manufacturer tryouts and challenges will pop up in your events, and if you perform well, it's possible to get an invite to the next tier of racing around the time you finish your third rally.
This freedom to move on when you feel ready, and not determined by completing a set number of races or finishing in X place in the championship is a great design choice. I ran a few rallies in each category, got a feel for the handling improvements and off I went. Within just a few hours of gameplay, I was up in the big leagues, powering along bumpy roads, drifting inches from jagged outcrops, and occasionally hurtling off the edges of cliffs.
The career in WRC 8 was a big step in the right direction, but some of the systems weren't as clear as they could have been. Career management is very similar to WRC 8, except now there is a much more in-depth tutorial to help you get the most out of the various systems. They've struck a good balance by adding plenty of things to tinker with between stages, without bogging you down with too much micro-management.
My favourite feature is the R&D points you earn that you can use on perks for your Team, Performance, Crew and Reliability. This allows you to tailor your perks to your playstyle and makes WRC 9 much more accessible. If/when you move to a new team, your points carry over, but somewhat annoyingly some teams have mandatory perks and it will auto-assign some of your points.
Crew management is my least favourite part of the campaign, as trying to keep a full team of high-end crew cards can be a chore as they fatigue and become unselectable. They can give you a significant advantage in events, with things like more efficient repairs or lower costs and increased rewards, so I'd much rather just unlock the best ones and keep them active instead of constantly having to switch them out for inferior ones.
There's enough variety in the calendar events to prevent things from becoming monotonous. It's a significant improvement over just running stage after stage, and I really enjoyed playing through the career. Coming off the back of WRC 8, I could easily have become fatigued with completing what is essentially a very similar career all over again, but the handling improvements and graphical overhaul has kept me gripped all the way through to winning the WRC Championship, and I still want to keep playing.
Superb selection of stages
The WRC series has always provided an excellent selection of rally stages, and WRC 9 has gone above and beyond this year. WRC 9 sticks to the originally planned schedule, and now features all thirteen of the originally planned stages from the 2019 WRC championship (damn you, pandemic), including three new and iconic countries that feature for the first time in the series.
The first of these is Kenya, that alternates between fast, wide-open savannah and narrow roads cutting through villages, while the Japanese stages offer some of the best tarmac stages yet seen in a rally game. The highlight, though, is the gorgeous vistas of New Zealand, a highly challenging and technical rally with rapid successions of corners and a smooth flow.
I couldn't help but get a strong feeling of Deja Vu, though; Many of the stages are lifted straight from the previous game. The improved dynamic weather affects the surfaces more now, and the refined graphics and updated lighting system keep the stages feeling fresh, but it's hard to shake the feeling you've done this all before.
While a lot of the stages clock in with around four to six minutes of flat-out action, the longer stages are still included, and they are among my favourites. These epic stages can take upwards of ten minutes to finish, and require deep focus and concentration. When you are in the zone, though, it's absolutely gripping, and before you know it you're at the finish.
There's no flashback or rewind system in WRC 9, which piles on the pressure. Lose focus near the end of a long stage, and you can easily come off the track and pick up a large penalty that could cost you the stage. It adds an intensity that other racing games just can't match, and these longer stages are probably the closest you'll get to the feeling of running a real-life rally stage in a game.
Clubs come to WRC 9!
Clubs for many are a large part of the appeal of DiRT Rally 2.0, and they have proved to be hugely popular over lockdown, giving the game some serious longevity. WRC 9 has wisely adopted them, too. They allow you to run intra-club championships, with club rankings based on performance both in internal events and towards overall club ranking.
Disappointingly for me, you can't choose the name of your car club. Instead, each club is called <gamertag>'s Car Club. It doesn't affect how they work, but established clubs who are looking for a home in WRC 9 will no doubt lament the absence. There is a workaround by making a free Gamertag with the name you want for your club, but it's an unnecessary extra step that I hope they can remedy in a future update.
Improper naming conventions aside, Clubs are set to be a great way to bring longevity to your time with WRC 9. Find a good group of fellow racers, and you can arrange events perfectly tailored to how frequently you want to play and how much time you have spare.
Multiplayer, eSports and Time Trial
I love a good time trial, but in WRC 9, they don't separate them by car class: A time set in a WRC Junior is classed in the same leaderboard as full-on WRC cars. It was the same in the last game, and it's a big misstep here as well.
We're still ahead of the official console launch at the time of writing, so I haven't been able to test out the multiplayer, but a glance through the menus shows a comprehensive set of options for hosting or finding a race. Once the game fully releases, I'll update the review with a bit of hands-on feedback for those who are interested.
The daily and weekly challenges are live, though, and they are a welcome addition for anyone wanting to prove themselves against other drivers.
Free updates coming soon
KT Racing have announced a series of free updates coming soon that will introduce photo mode and new special stages, cars and teams. The big announcement, though, and one rally fans have been clamouring after for years, is online co-op Co-driver mode.
Details on co-driver mode are scant at present, but if it's well implemented, I can't wait to be sat in the navigator's seat, attempting to meaningfully communicate a complicated set of pace notes to my driver, or spouting pearls of wisdom like, "Samir, you're breaking the car!"
Bring on the next generation!
If I had to pick a fault, and I do, because that's my job, it is that the games frame rate could be better. It's stable, which is good, but it falls well short of 60 fps.
WRC 9, however, offers you a free upgrade to the Series X or PS5 version.
On the next-gen consoles, we can expect a solid 60 fps, and this already amazing looking game should look even better. I can only dream how good WRC 9 could look with ray-tracing activated. Bring on November – I have my first next-gen console game, and I can't wait to play it!
WRC 9 has improved on almost everything since its last outing, but the re-used stages could make it feel a little too familiar to anyone who spent significant time with the last game. The handling model is a big improvement, especially on a controller, and the improved graphics gives just enough visual sheen to keep it feeling fresh.
It's tremendously good fun to play, and it is a true contender for the title of best rally game. And, with its free next-gen upgrade, it's also going to be the de facto best next-gen rally game. KT Racing may be losing the WRC license in a few years, but until then, they have produced one of the best rally games to date.

Sophsterlicious • UK Blog: Review : NYC Cosmetics.
Ok So, NYC Make up is not a brand I have ever really used before, apart from for eyelashes and nail polish. So when I was asked to try some of their products I didn't refuse.
Here is what I was sent..
They were very generous and I jumped straight in to try them out when I got them and have been using them for a few weeks now.
I'll start with the eyeshadow kit. I really like the idea of this for traveling, having all the eye shadows you need for a look in a small palette. The packaging is sturdy plastic and inside there is a small eyeshadow applicator/brush thing, which I don't use. The overlay, as you can see, tells you what each colour is for, but of course you can use them however you wish. The pigmentation on the eye shadows is pretty decent, Some are better than others as you will see from the swatches. They are a little powdery when you pick them up on the brush, but if you pat them on they apply smoothly and last well with a primer. I like the dark brown and pink colour on the left the best, The other two were not as well pigmented.
Next up, the lip balm in 'Sugar Baby' .. I was a little put off when I saw the colour of this, but it doesn't apply that bright, obviously. It smells really sweet and has quite a sticky consistency (which I like, as it lasts) It leaves my lips with a nice glossy pinky tint and lasts well, leaving my lips feeling soft. The only think I dislike is the packaging, I hate dipping my finger into things and getting all the goop behind my nails, I guess it's quick and easy for on the go though, if you don't mind sticky fingers. I tend to use it every evening when I prepare my skin for bed, I put this on my lips and go to sleep and wake up with soft lips.
Hmm, the Colour Wheel! I like this for day to day natural make up because it gives a really subtle glow to my cheeks, But it is not very pigmented and I struggled to get a decent swatch without layering it loads (The swatch is about three heavy swipes) It is a nice colour though and I have been wearing it to give a natural pale flush to my cheeks, I just wish it was a bit more pigmented.
Next up is one of my favorite things I received! This is a pigment in the colour 'Champagne' and as you can see from the swatch, it is a gorgeous subtle gold sheeny colour, It is a lovely all over the eyelid colour, or cheek highlight, and I have been using it daily, I have no complaints about the eye dust itself - There is no chunky glitter, it blends well and it looks lovely on.
The PACKAGING however, is a different story, It's stupid! I have two pigments in similar pots from H&M and I hate the way they are packaged. As you can see in the picture, it is a small pot with a hole in which you dip the provided brush into.. Look at THAT brush, It looks ridiculous and there is no way it would apply anything well.
As I have always done with my H&M dusts, I just pour the product out of the small hole and into the lid and use my own brush, then I pour what is left back in when I am done. It's a bit of a hassle, but it's worth it because I love the colour.. I do think NYC should fix this though and just package them in a nice round container with a sifter or something.
Lastly, but not leastly is this liquid eyeliner. I thought this would be a no go as soon as I saw it, only because I hate using the long thin brush type applicators (I should have pictured it, sorry!) to apply liner, but this one is super thin, and after a few practice runs I mastered it! I now love how long the applicator is and how thin the brush is. The liner is a really nice black with a pearly silver grey in it, as the picture shows, It is kind of metallic and makes a really nice change from flat black, I think. It applies smoothly and lasts for hours too, so a definite win for me! I fancy seeing what other colours they do in this liner now.
So, that's all for now, I hope you enjoyed my review. Have you tried any of these products, or anything else from NYC? I would love to hear what you love from them!
NYC Make up is available from Superdrug Online.
For a wider range, go to your local superdrug store.
Really like the look of the eye dust - but not too keen on the photo of the brush :/ I can see what you mean.
Oh the liquid liner looks really great to me!
that champagne eyeshadow is gorgeous! so pretty! I've never tried NYC before but now I might.
I love the liquid liner! I have been using it for a while now! its awesome!
The eyeliner looks good, and I love that eye dust colour, though that is honestly some of the cheapest and shoddiest packaging I've ever seen.
Heyy girly! Just came across your blog and love it! Awesome review....extremely helpful!


Chen, Q.; Li, J.; Zhang, L.; Lu, H.; Ren, H., and Jian, S., 2015. Changes in the macrobenthic faunal community during succession of a mangrove forest at Zhanjiang, South China.
A chronosequence was used to study the community structure of the macrobenthic faunal community during succession of the mangrove forest at Zhanjiang, South China. The four successional stages studied were (from primary to late) unvegetated shoal, the Avicennia marina community, the Aegiceras corniculatum community, and the Bruguiera gymnorrhiza Rhizophora stylosa community. Faunal density, the diversity index, species richness, and evenness index were highest in the unvegetated shoal (189 individuals/m2, 1.97, 3.48, and 0.74, respectively, in the wet season; 105 individuals/m2, 1.77, 2.20, and 0.84, respectively, in the dry season) and lowest in the B. gymnorrhiza R. stylosa community (35 individuals/m2, 1.04, 1.10, and 0.57, respectively, in the wet season; 46 individuals/m2, 0.86, 1.16, and 0.66, respectively, in the dry season). The values for these community parameters decreased with succession. Hierarchical clustering indicated that the distribution of the macrobenthic fauna closely corresponded with the successional stages. Correlation analysis and canonical redundancy analysis (RDA) indicated that the changes in the macrobenthic fauna with mangrove succession were associated with the aboveground vegetation (mainly crown breadth and tree height) and soil physicochemical properties (mainly soil organic matter and total nitrogen content). Several species of macrobenthic fauna were only detected in certain stages of succession, suggesting that they may be biological indicators of succession.


To be certain superior wellbeing, your body requires getting a good night's rest. It truly is recommended to take a position in an orthopedic range, in case you get up worn out from lack of snooze every day.

Literature is not Comics
Here's a link to an interesting San Diego Comic Con panel, "Comics are NOT Literature." The link will expire at the end of September, by which time we'll apparently be hearing all about what a great idea it would be to kill tons of Iranians. It's an interesting panel. It has its dull directionless times, which is par for the course, but overall gave me a lot to think about. I wish someone would write those ideas up. I agreed with whoever said it's basically identity politics. The formal issues are interesting to a point but beyond that it's about economics and accidents of history. I always think most issues or questions, especially about words, would be better attacked by cutting to the chase and being pragmatic about it. What needs to be done and said to keep things healthy and diverse and thriving? So I was like "right on" when Dan Nadel were talking about how applying words like "literature" to comics is less about how well or not the label fits, and is more about speaking the language one needs to speak to gain institutional support (major gallery collections, major library collections, grants, academia) etc. Nadel says something like "the lack of institutional support is the major problem comics have faced in the 20th century." But we're getting there. Of course institutions bring their own set of problems too... There's other good stuff in there too, and the panel reflects a spectrum of approaches people take--from Nadel's "I don't even think of it as reading" to folks who come from the literary side.

In these final sequences of Part III of the Book of Acts, the second phase of Paul's missionary journey continues through Macedonia before moving on to Greece where he spends a brief time in Athens before a more extended stay in Corinth. Despite the divine intervention in Philippi in the previous sequence, which focused attention on the evangelisation of the Gentiles, Paul fails to follow this up but reverts to his earlier practice of devoting his energy first and foremost to the Jews in the synagogues. In Athens, his wellknown attempt to speak to the Gentiles meets with little favour; it is only in Corinth, after fierce opposition from the synagogue, that Luke records more successful efforts to include the Gentiles as well as the Jews in his preaching activity.

138 Josep Rius-Camps and Jenny Read-Heimerdinger The article before the name of Paul in D05 is expected since he has always been in focus throughout this scene. B03 typically omits the arti- cle before major speeches (Read-Heimerdinger, The Bezan Text, p. 135). The imperfect ἔφη is used to introduce a speech elsewhere in Acts (7:2, Stephen; 10:28, Peter; 10:30, Cornelius; 11:28 D05, Agabus; 19:25 D05, Demetrius). The justification for the imperfect is clear in most instances (Stephen begins a long and complex speech; Peter and Cornelius find themselves in a difficult situation where they express themselves hesi- tantly; Demetrius carefully seeks for a way to persuade his fellow crafts- men of the problem posed by Paul). Here before the Areopagus, where Paul addresses a large Gentile audience whom he has never addressed successfully before, the imperfect expresses aptly his lack of assurance. 17:23 ἀναθεωρῶν (τὰ σεβάσματα) B P74 a DE rell, perspiciens d || διϊστορῶν D*; (ἱστορῶν Clpt). The verb διϊστορέω in D05 is a hapax legomenon of the New Testa- ment, expressing not only a close examination, as ἀναθεωρέω of B03, but also a quest for information (Delebecque, Les deux Actes, p. 108: 'cherchant à me renseigner sur'). (ἐν ᾧ) ἐπεγέγραπτο B P74 a rell || ἦν (DB) γεγραμμένον D, scriptum erat d. The periphrastic perfect of D05 reflects better the permanence of the inscription than does the pluperfect of B03. ὃ … τοῦτο B D P74 a* A* (81). 1175 pc lat; Or || ὃν … τοῦτον a2 A2 E Ψ 33. 1739 M sy; Cl Aug.

The position of κύριοϛ following the participle in B03 presents the notion of the lordship of God as new information; its position preceding the participle in D05 stresses rather the causal nature of Paul's argument, which depends on his audience's prior acceptance of the lordship of God ('since he is Lord'). 17:25 ὡϛ (προσδεόμενοϛ) a* 104. 1829. 1838, tamquam d e gig; Irlat || om.

Re: Societa segreta ~ Team Volturi
by i am bella
*Celia Rae was oh, so excited at the mention of a private jet. She'd never gotten to go on a plane ride never mind a private jet. When she had come to the Volturi, she hadn't thought about the full perks of it all. She jumped up and down with Elena in her excitement. For the first time in a long time, Celia Rae was going to have fun.*
Posted: Mon Jun 22, 2009 10:29 am
by *Aros_girl*
Jane smiled at the others who were jumpping down in excitment. She was use to all this. The money, the jet, the everything was nothing new to her. She had been her long enough to know all the perks of being a member. She sometimes wished she didn't and everything would be new but she couldn't have that. Being a member was great but she never really knew anything else. She was brought here from the day she changed, she had no other life. Leaving wasn't a option.
The jet was called and on it's way to the airport. It would be in the shade and have a red V on the tail wing. Boy are we secretive, she laughed in her head. "It will be the one with a red V on the tail wing," she told the others who didn't know. "It is in the shade. More then once have I glittered in the light while there. Luckly the people though it was a dream. Nearly had to take out a entire plane."

Sabin was in the hall way running his hand through his hair. Worry was all around him but the emotion that was getting him was love. This was a bery overwelming emotion but he had to let it pas. He had to push it back and concentrate.
Somone was coming. Down the hall towards him. The first one that showed was Alec. He looked pleased and worry free. "Sabin calm down," he said as he passed by and turned into the room. More foot steps were coming down the hall. A blonde headed male came around the corner. Dantes.
"I always knew you were insane," Dantes came up to Sabin. "Theses people want me dead. And you here I am."
"Yeah well you are now under the protetion of the Voltuir," Sabin sighed. "I talked to the Masters about it. Once this is over you leave and don't come back for a while."
"Alright well let's get this thing started," Dantes laughed. "Where are the girls?"
"Shopping," Sabin guided him into the room. " Everybody no killing Dantes tonight. His crazed ex-lover is after him and well what man wouldn't be scared?" Sabin patted him on the back. "Now we are going to have fun. And we aren't going to worry about anything while we are out." He gave Santi a little shake because he looked a bit scared when Dantes entered the room.
"Sabin wait," Dantes looked at Afton. "I owe Afton a big I'm sorry. Paroid as I am I shouldn't have attacked your mind."
"Well now that that is covered," Sabin went aroudn the room. "What do you boys want to do? I have Black cards for us."

"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god" Ana squealed as the headed towards the airport. "This is just unreal!
The moeny, the plane" She giggled abit "Wow" she grinned. "This is just too cool"
She kept shaking her hands frantically, trying to find an outlet for all her exitment.
"I mean, I never thought of myself as materialistic, but this is just, Wow"

"Rose sweetheart you are my savior. Wait till Albie hears!" I ran off quickly to get my things and tell Alberto the game plan. He'd tag along with me, but definitely wouldn't go dress shopping with me.
"Albie, Albie, Albie!" I explained everything in a rush and he smirked. He knew how pre-occupied I'd get in shopping.
"That's good then. Sabin and I will just linger around then."
I grabbed his hand and packed in a blur.
Next thing I knew we were at an airport.
"Ana, it's like you've never seen an airport before." I winked. I'd had experience traveling. I'd pretty much been everywhere. Especially with Alberto.
"Rose, I haven't told you I've pretty much been everywhere." I smirked. "My mother was a designer herself." Alberto smiled remembering my family. Mama simply adored Albie. But Alberto and I had long since been everywhere.
"Remember that month we spent in Paris?" He said to me with a wink. I giggled in bliss just thinking about that month.
"Let's go!"
by Lacuna Scion
Rose smiled at Jane's story, "Yes, sparkling on the Tarmac? Let's try and avoid that. We'll already be attracting enough attention," she laughed.
Allegra, Ana, Celia and Elena looked ecstatic. "You know," Rose remarked, "I'm pretty sure the boys are doing something his weekend as well." She looked at Alberto then to Allegra, "Do you really want him seeing you in your wedding dress? Tradition and all that? But if you don't mind spending the weekend with the girls."
Rose pulled down her aviators and followed Jane across the Tarmac to the Volturi family jet. She listened to the steady tick of her heels as she climbed up the small hatch stairs.
She breathed in the smell of recycled air and the leather from the chairs. She knew the pilot would've already recieved instructions for air traffic control reasons. Rose simply scooted back to her regular seat, curled up, closed her eyes and waited for the roar of the engine.
"There's nothing like flying," she said.
*Celia Rae stepped into the jet and her jaw dropped farther than far. Could it really drop any farther? She ran her cold fingers along everything as she made her way to a seat in the back of the jet. It all felt so clean, so perfect, so.....rich? Was that the right word? She felt like a princess, like only royalty could do this. But then again, the Volturi were as close as you can get to royalty when it came to vampires.*
Jane smiled at the girls as the entered. Jane went to her seat. It had her name on it as it should. "Feel free to use the masters seats," she said and pulled her feet up in the chair. "They won't mind. Even if the ydo have their name's on them."
She pussed a button on her chair and the piolt came through. She got up and hugged him. "Everyone this is Ashton the pilot," she smiled at him and gave him a kiss on the cheek. He was the vamipre in charge here with a human at his side.
"Jane it is nice to see you again," he ruffled her hair, "you little ball of evil." His voice held a accent but not a think one. "Welcome everyone to well the Volturi Jet. I'm Ashton like she said and I'm here to make sure we get were we are going." He looked at Jane. "And not anywhere else like last time missy." He looked back up at the others. "Well considering you are all vamoires it spares me the safty thing. We crash we act human. Simple enough. You each have a button on your chair to call me like Jane just did. I'm not really sure what it is for but I like it. Less work I have to do."
"Thanks Ashton. Rose knows where we are going."
"Where are we all headed? I heard news of a wedding and if that is true who is the lucky lady? It can't be Jane," Jane hit him lightly, "So it has to be one of you."

Dantes walked in.
Santi shook his hand. "Dantes, I'm very sorry."
Dantes shook his head no. "It wasn't your fault Santiago. I'm not mad."
Santi grinned and turned to Sabin. "So where do you want to go? We can get Afton, Alberto and Leo and go where? Maybe a vampire strip club?" Santi grinned. "Alberto might like that, but I don't think Allegra would." He smiled.
"Let's find Alberto first, and then ask what he wants." Santi said, and Sabin, Santi and Dantes headed out to find the others.
Teh boys started to look for Alberto. When the serch looked a bit grim Sabin stopped. "Hey what if Alberto is with the girls," he asked. Then it all seemed to dawn on them. Alberto was.
"Boys it is time for a game of capture," Sabin grinned. "My favorite game," Dantes smiled at Sabin.
The boys set off for the airport. One by one they entered the plane the girls were on. "Ladies we have come to get Alberto," Sabin said. "Hand him over and we will leave in peace. Don't and I will sic Dantes on you."
"Unfair brother," Dantes said from behind. "But we did come to get Alberto. He can't see the wedding dress. Bad luck comes with that." He bowed to Allegra. "Madame I hope your wedding goes as you wish. I will do my best to keep somone away. Even I have a heart for love."
Sabin rolled his eyes at Dantes. in the mean time Alec and Santi and Afton had Alberto. "The dirty deed is done. We are off!"


The gas chambers are already there.
that we must correlate the history of the Holocaust with the history of the war.
And the great turning point was the beginning of the war.
is the attack on the Soviet Union, because it's a different kind of war.
the story of what was happening in the Soviet Union.
That is, mass murder began.
came to the Soviet Union, with explicit intention.
those who threatened the new order.
And the Jews came under this heading.
the Jews were not the ones that the Nazis had any reason to worry about.
Nonetheless, they believed that to be Jewish and to be Bolshevik was the same.
Bolsheviks were Jews, the Jews were Bolshevik.
This is nonsense but nonetheless, this was their self-justification.
And so, the mass murder actually began before there were extermination camps.
That is, extermination camps were, the first one.
What I'm talking about is Chelmno, Chelmno or the German name, Kuhnhoff.
You see, this was in the [FOREIGN] of the [FOREIGN].
That is, the area of Poland which the Germans took, and planned to Germanify.
of course, remove the Jews, putting them first into ghettos.
And Kuhnhoff, actually, was very close to Wutsch.
What the Germans renamed [FOREIGN] which was to be the capital of this region.
interesting inasmuch as it's a transitional institution.
with the smallest number of victims, which operated the shortest period.
Now, as I said, it was an intermediary step.
stuffed in about 50 people at a time.
who were in these vans.
These vans actually pre-existed the attack on the Soviet Union.
and they were used actually in Germany itself in the euthanasia program.
I keep on saying, was very important for us.
quite self-consciously they used they used the same methods here.
The interesting thing about the euthanasia program is that they were killing Germans.
And when you kill Germans, other Germans will be aware that something was going on.
grandson died under some circumstances.
We'll send them condolence letters or whatnot.
And this created indignation, in particular, the churches.
the euthanasia program as a result of public protests.
I say seemed to, because in fact the euthanasia program, sub rosa, continued.
But here we are talking about a few tens of thousands of victims.
the mass murder in the gas chambers, concerning the Jews.
in itself bring punishment to those who protested.
you would have been in great trouble.
with Nazi ideology, it was not central.
resulted in very serious punishment.
But we really have no records of any serious protests.
the response of the German population.
So, as I was saying, Chelmno was the first, relatively small scale.
they managed to kill about 1,000 people a day.
German Jews, Jews from Germany, and from Bohemia.
into the major ghetto of Wutsch.
largest ghetto that had the second largest Jewish population after Warsaw.
still there had to be some limits.
to Chelmno, you can see it's quite close to one another.
You see here is Wutsch and there is Chelmno.
I think it's something like about 50 miles or approximately 50 miles.
extermination camp were Jews from Wutsch.
the German Jews, who were crammed into the Wutsch ghetto.
the large scale extermination started.
Polish Jews and that was easier to do than killing Germans.
So you see they were going through this trouble delivering German Jews to Wutsch.
rather than sending the German Jews directly to Chelmno.
Which you might think it might be easier.
kill western Europeans and Germans in particular.
I mustn't go on about this, but Chelmno is interesting.
They are experimenting how to do things.
And the later features of the extermination camps are already there.
to give no chance to the Jews to recognize, to realize what was going on.
you must undress and take a shower.
And then they crammed into the vans.
And in the van the death occurred 10 to 15 minutes.
It was not very quick.
And then comes the difficult task to get rid of the bodies and clean up the bodies.
And Jewish laborers were used first to bury the bodies.
And then later on it became clear that you just cannot bury tons of people a day.
they went into trouble to dig up the bodies which they had buried before.
And so this is the task and this was the way it was accomplished.
That is, all the way to treat the inmates.
Was already there at this first extermination camp at Chelmno.
sending them back to Germany.
From the corpses, pulling up gold teeth.
and the German way of doing things.
because it seems to me so important.
The Romanians pulled the gold teeth out while the people were still alive.
The Germans pulled out gold teeth from corpses.
the timing of the removal of the gold teeth.
Maybe I should stop again before I will, I am going to talk about the other camps.
>> Peter, you should mention how the euthanasia doctors.
>> Yes, as Marion's calling my attention to it.
There were just moved from one job to another.
And this is very important for several reasons.
From the point of view of ideology.
From the point of view of technique.
The point of view of experiment.
The point of view of experience.
of the 1930's to the gas chambers, to the extermination camps.

Welcome to another country STUFF WE LIKE presented to you by Freddy.
This week I want to discuss something I hadn't thought about since I was a kid. The reason I haven't? I grew up, I guess, but somehow one of the things I loved was left behind. Maybe I thought it was childish or immature, but looking back on it, Friendship Bracelets were anything but.
While my family reunion was going on my sister's best friend spent time with us (when she is in the country they are attached). And one of the things he did while here was teach my nephews how to make friendship bracelets. Watching all the boys sit down, picking out colors and attentively tying knots, then see their enthusiasm when they have them to the people they care about reminded me of the beauty of the bracelets.
They are pure feelings of friendship and love. The simple act of making something for someone to show you care and that they are cared for. Friendship bracelets are emotions in their purest form. They are innocent from the world around you.
My sister's best friend even made one for me (*points up to the picture), and I haven't taken it off except for when I hit bed. It brightens up my day and reminds me what's really important when chaos is surrounding me at work.
Because who can't smile when a rainbow it tied around their wrist?
I still love these kinds of bracelets, it's a shame we think we have to stop wearing them because we "grow up" - but we don't stop having friends and in some cases, we don't stop having the friends we made these with! Although in some cases, they got worn out and were removed for that reason, not some issue with age!
I had a hemp necklace that a friend made me our senior year of high school. It did not get removed, ever, and fell off about two years later.

Top Premier League storylines for midweek games
By Joe Prince-WrightJan 28, 2019, 10:38 AM EST
We all love midweek Premier League action, and the games over the next 48 hours will be pivotal in deciding which direction the title race, top four battle and relegation scrap move in.
Buckle up, folks.
[ STREAM: Every PL match live ]
Below we take a look at the top storylines ahead of the games on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Wounded Leicester a familiar threat for Liverpool (Wednesday, 3 p.m. ET: Liverpool v. Leicester City ET – NBC Sports Gold [STREAM])
Beware of the wounded animal. Especially a fox with a pedigree of upsetting the odds. Leicester City have lost four games on the spin and Claude Puel is under pressure. But Leicester stunned Chelsea and Man City last month and defying the odds defines the vast majority of players in their squad. Heading to Premier League leaders Liverpool, this is a free hit for Leicester. They will sit back, soak up pressure and use the pace of Jamie Vardy and James Maddison on the counter which suits them best. Liverpool's defensive injuries have stretched them to the limits in recent weeks, and their 4-3 win against Crystal Palace (another counter-attacking team) proved they can be undone a la last season. Leicester play better when they're on the counter and playing against the top six. Jurgen Klopp will be wary of their threat, but he is unlikely to name a cautious midfield lineup like he did at Man City in their defeat at the start of this month.
Top four battle reaching climax
The race for a top four finish is heating up and it is magnificent. Arsenal and Manchester United sit three points behind fourth-place Chelsea and the latter look like they're running through treacle right now. Gonzalo Higuain's arrival should boost their potency in front of goal (he is in line to make his PL debut at Bournemouth) but United and Arsenal have momentum in the race for UEFA Champions League qualification. On paper, United and Arsenal should seal easy home wins against Burnley and Cardiff respectively. As for Chelsea, their trip to Bournemouth looks dangerous as the Cherries have matched up very well with them this season. Get ready for plenty of highs and lows for all three teams in the top four battle in the coming months, while Tottenham look like being dragged back in to the battle too given their bad luck with injuries and poor form.
Tuesday, 2:45 p.m. ET: Arsenal v. Cardiff City – NBC Sports Gold [STREAM]
Tuesday, 3 p.m. ET: Man United v. Burnley – NBCSN [STREAM]
Wednesday, 2:45 p.m. ET: Bournemouth v. Chelsea – NBCSN [STREAM]
Son to cure Tottenham's blues? (Wednesday, 3 p.m. ET: Tottenham v. Watford – NBC Sports Gold [STREAM])
The past few weeks have been pretty terrible for Tottenham Hotspur. After being knocked out of the FA Cup and League Cup, seeing Harry Kane and Dele Alli injured, losing to Man United and seeing everyone around them win, Mauricio Pochettino needs a boost. Enter: Heung-Min Son. South Korea's shock defeat to Qatar in the quarterfinals of the Asian Cup mean that Son is back a few weeks earlier than expected, and he will almost certainly line up as a center forward against Watford to add much-needed dynamism to Tottenham's attack. Fernando Llorente has failed to impress in place of Kane, while the likes of Lucas Moura and Erik Lamela just haven't added the quality needed in the final third with Spurs' stars out. Watford beat Tottenham 2-1 earlier this season and Javi Gracia's side will fancy their chances of solidifying seventh place with a win. This game could really determine how Spurs' season goes from here on out.

The history of the flying boat actually predates the Wright Brothers flight at Kitty Hawk, although seaplane flights prior to that historic flight were not exactly successful. Throughout the 1920s, flying boats gained popularity, both with the military and commercially. In fact, Pan American Airways had a main flying boat base for their Latin America operations based in Miami.
Consolidated Commodore
Considered the beginning of an era that led to more modern, high-efficiency monoplane flying boats popular in the 1930s, the NYRBA Airline used the Consolidated Commodore on flights between New York, Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires, using the initials of each city as their name. In 1939, Pan Am acquired NYRBA and took over the fleet of Consolidated Commodores. Although designed to accommodate up to 32 passengers, the plane actually accommodated only 14, including the crew, for thousand mile flights. This seaplane opened up the possibility of long, over-ocean routes.
Savoia-Marchetti Sm-66
Designed for trans-Mediterranean airline services, the Savoia-Marchetti Sm-66 flying boat originally carried seven passengers, as the prototype contained seven seats, two sleeping couches and a lavatory. In later versions, designers replaced the sleeping couches with two to four more seats, increasing the number of passengers it could carry. The enclosed cockpit, mounted in the center wing section, held two crewmembers. Aero Expresso Haltiano began using the flying boats in 1928.
Sikorsky S-40 "Flying Forest"
Charles Lindbergh gave the Sikorsky S-40 flying boat the nickname the "Flying Forest" due to the numerous exposed flying wires and strut braces used to support the framework. Juan Trippe, President of Pan Am, requested that Sikorsky design a seaplane with a larger passenger capacity than the Sikorsky S-38. The S-40 carried 38 passengers, as opposed to the eight-passenger limit of the S-38, and offered an electric refrigerator and stove. In addition, the S40 included a book-ended mahogany wood paneled smoking lounge for passenger comfort. Sikorsky manufactured only three of these flying boats. Pan Am used the planes, which were the first in Pan Am's famous "Clipper" line, on the Miami-to-Panama route. However, the "American Clipper," as the S-40 came to be known, avoided night flying as it lacked navigation aids and instrumentation.
Sikorsky S-42
During the initial flight of the S-40, Charles Lindbergh, then a consultant for Pan Am, and Igor Sikorsky began drawing preliminary sketches of the Sikorsky S-42 on the back of a menu in the lounge of the Sikorsky S-40 flying boat. The two men, along with Pan Am President, Juan Trippe, envisioned a flying boat that would be able to span oceans. Sikorsky built only ten of the S-42 aircraft and the flying boats flew exclusively for Pan Am. Known as both the "Pan Am Clipper" and the "Flying Clipper," the S-42 flew the San Francisco-to-Hawaii, New York-to-Bermuda, and Hong Kong-to-China routes among others, and made the first survey flight from Alameda, Calif., to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, in April 1935. The plane set ten records for altitude and payload flights, and had a longer range than the S-40.
DLH Ship-to-Shore Mail Flights
Starting in 1931, Deutsche Luft Hansa (DLH) flew single engine flying boat mail flights. Initially, the company used Heinkel He.12 and He.58 flying boats to carry mail to and from cruise ships, allowing mail to arrive onshore long before the ship arrived in port. Eventually the company replaced the Heinkel planes with Junkers 46 floatplanes. The planes, outfitted with compressed air-driven catapults that increased the speed of the plane, launched at a distance of about 750 miles from the destination. Painted bright red in case of emergency sea landings, the launch of these aircraft was a special experience for cruise ship passengers. The success of these flying boats encouraged DLH to begin trans-Atlantic mail flights to Europe and Latin America using the Dornier Wal flying boat. The plane met a converted cargo ship with a launch platform in the Atlantic, where the launch ship picked up the flying boat and refueled the aircraft before launching it from the ramp. Mail from Germany could reach Brazil in three days using the DLH ship-to-shore service.
Breguet Br.350
On routes from France to points in the Mediterranean, Air France used the Breguet Br.350 flying boat in 1934.
As aviation design became more sophisticated, the creation of long-range flying boats began to increase throughout the 1930s.
