If you included the http:// when you typed http://172.27.35.1 into your browser's window, and had the firewall/virus software turned off while trying and was using firefox or Internet explorer, it wasn't you, it's the Ooma unit itself.
That, or the laptop is not configured to acquire an IP through DHCP -- which is my guess.
There is that one last possibility that your computer's wired LAN connection isn't configured correctly.
Check by right clicking on your My Network Places icon and left click on properties, right click on Local Area Connection in the window that opens and left click on properties.
In the window that opens scroll down to Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and highlight the words. Don't uncheck the box in front of Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). With your mouse go down and select Properties. Make sure the "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically" buttons are selected. Click OK, than Ok again for the next window. Restart your computer and type http://172.27.35.1 in your computer's browser's window. The Ooma Setup window will open.?
If by now you have called Ooma Customer Support, and they are going to send you a replacement Ooma device under warranty, that's okay because you still have the problem of your old Ooma device restarting by itself to deal with. A replacement Ooma device will fix that problem.
Thanks to you all SO much for the help. I think you're right about the settings being wrong on my laptop. This is going to sound stupid, but I have windows 7 on it and I couldn't find the tcp/ip thing you mentioned. Anyway, I found another thread about a different way to set up the ooma. I now have my set up this way: modem > router > ooma, with ooma using the router as my wired pcs. I then went into the router's qos setting and using the ooma's mac address, set it to the highest priority. i restarted everything and it all seems to be working. Do you think this setup is ok? If I still get the power off thing going on, I will have to call customer service, although I don't really don't want to do that. I've only had the ooma unit for a couple of weeks, so I am early into the warranty period. Thanks again for the help!
If you didn't by directly from Ooma, you could return it to the place of purchase for an exchange. Though, I am not sure what will need to be done to associate your new unit with your existing account, but I would think it would just be a matter of calling CS with the new telo information.

TCP/IP defines the language that your computer uses to communicate with other computers. We recommend using automated Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to automatically assign Internet Protocol (IP) addresses to the computers on your network, if your network supports it. If you use DHCP, then you don't have to change your settings if you move your computer to another location, and DHCP doesn't require you to manually configure settings such as Domain Name System (DNS) and Windows Internet Name Service (WINS).
1.Open Network Connections by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Network and Internet, clicking Network and Sharing Center, and then clicking Manage network connections.

During prayer at praise and worship today at church, I saw myself standing before a huge golden throne. On the throne was what appeared as a fire. The fire was also great in size, bigger than the throne itself. Tongues of fire leaped out from it. A flame reached out and twirled itself around me and drew me into the fire. It happened so quick.
So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?" He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You." He said to him, "Feed My lambs." He said to him again a second time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?" He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You." He said to him, "Tend My sheep." He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?" Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, "Do you love Me?" And he said to Him, "Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You." Jesus said to him, "Feed My sheep.

….As of 12.30am on the 21st Feb, the Alice in Wonderland Palette is out of stock on Debenhams.com. That's about 12hrs after it was first released right?
How do I know this? 'Cos I've been umm-ing and ahh-ing all bloody day trying to decide whether or not to purchase the one I've had sitting in my basket since lunchtime to keep as a little makeup heirloom for Leila.
At 12.30am, I decided to go for it!
Hurry up and come back Alice! Will it be there when I wake up in the morning?
Wow! That was quick to go out of stock!
I actually had one of these in the basket. And then I went "NO! YOU ALREADY HAVE ALL THE COLOURS AND IT'S £28!!" and stopped myself.
Psst – what was your discount code?
Oh that's just a shopping fail:|. But it's got a lot of colours from the Ammo Shadow Box soo not all is bad and you could get that one if you don't already have it.
All day yesterday, I've been tossing and turning to see whether I should buy it or not, until the evening when i finally succumbed.It makes me happy I bought it now, but a bit cross at the same time they did not stock up the website a bit more.
That's insane! Glad they're re-stocking though because I imagine there will be a few people who weren't expecting it online until tomorrow (anybody else think that's a bit unfair, releasing it early?) and are going to be in for a shock that it's sold out.
Awww poor you! I managed to get one thanks to you i really shouldn't have got it but i'm so glad i did, i know i would have been so sad if i had missed out.
Oh no, I thought it was only going on sale tomorrow! I only checked this afternoon for curiousity. Wish I had checked earlier, but I was out all Saturday evening and was busy doing other things during the day. Bummer. Is this not going to be sold at Boots as well as Debenhams?
Good news – even though this is sold out online, this Urban Decay Alice in Wonderland can be purchased by calling Debenhams mail order department, so it's still possible to obtain before it hits the stores.
Brenda, What's the phone number for that?
Gutted!!! Wonder when they'll get it back in stock??
Actually I've just called Debenhams and they said it's COMPLETELY sold out and will only be available again from 1st March (when it goes in stores as well).
it came out on the 20th,i ordered one and was very surprised it was on 2 days early!!!! as debehmas.com stated 22nd febuary,i would check in store a lot earlier because by the early arrival of it on there website i assume they might put it out early in store to, i do feel quite sorry for those who went on today hoping to get one but actually finding out debenhams had been very sneaky.
Ugh, these release dates are screwed up. I'm not at home today, but I'll see if I can get any definitive answers on stock levels and whether it's going instore on 28th feb or whether we're back to the original March 1st date.
The number I called to order mine this morning (11.30am) was 08445 616161. They said that even though the stocks are sold out online they can access stocks.
I'd heard that it was coming out on the 22nd, then heard someone saying the 21st. On Sat, I went onto Debenhams just to have a look and it was there! So ordered it…hoping it comes soon…feel like I may not get it until I actually see it with my own eyes!!! LOL!
I called that number this afternoon and the woman said I'd have to wait until it came out in stores. My local doesn't have an urban decay counter so I'll have to go to oxford street. Been looking forward to this for days and they released it early!!! Woe is me!
I gave them the number too, and they said it's all gone. Hohum.

Chapter 120 – The Parlour of Clouds and Rain
Although he had absolute confidence in his strength, he did not want to be an idiot with no brains and all brawn. He answered all of Qian Rongzhi's attempts to probe him out with a bunch of lies.
The banquet ended, and everyone dispersed.
On the highest point of the mountain peak, within the Black Hawk commander's special residence.
Zhuo Zhibo asked, "How did your investigations go? Just what relationship does this kid have with commander Gu?"
Qian Rongzhi sat on Zhuo Zhibo's leg as she ground her teeth. "He constantly went in circles, unwilling to tell the truth." Just as Li Qingshan had expected, Qian Rongzhi had already established a relationship with Zhuo Zhibo during the three days on the mountain.
Zhuo Zhibo said, "Then let's wait a little longer and see. I will get to the bottom of this. If he really is a person that she favors, you might as well forget about your revenge."
Qian Rongzhi suppressed her hatred and extended her index finger towards Zhuo Zhibo's face. She smiled charmingly. "My revenge is not significant at all. I have far too many siblings anyways. What matters is your face and your pride, great commander Zhuo, which you only have one of. You've seen it all today with the kid's attitude towards you."
Zhuo Zhibo said, "If she really does stand behind him, it doesn't matter even if he drags all of my pride through the mud. However, if that's not the case, hmph, hmph!" He smacked Qian Rongzhi's bottom. "You don't need to urge me on. Even if he is favoured by her, I have my ways of dealing with him. Even if he's a hero, I can reduce him to a piece of trash. Let's see whether anyone takes him seriously then."
Qian Rongzhi grumbled in a flirtatious manner and wriggled around in Zhou Zhibo's arms, which aroused him. However, he then asked out of curiosity, "Since you don't mind him killing your elder brother, why do you insist on vengeance?"
Qian Rongzhi said, "Because he looks down on me. Everyone who looks down on me will pay the price."
If Li Qingshan were present, he definitely would be dumbfounded. Not only was the result of his behaviour unlike the legends, making him steal the heart of a beauty, but it had even led to deep hatred. As it seemed, legends were only legends.
Zhuo Zhibo gazed at Qian Rongzhi deeply. He did not judge her. With how old he was, he had played around with many women before, but there were very few female Qi Practitioners. Even if he had, they would not necessarily be beautiful. As a result, Qian Rongzhi caught his attention at first glance. Qian Rongzhi also wanted to use the opportunity to elevate her position, so they were drawn together naturally. Their relationship developed into a sexual one as time went on. His body was currently declining, so it was no longer possible for him to make any more progress with practising qi. Enjoying himself was his greatest objective.
Qian Rongzhi said, "I heard that Body Practitioners are all relatively stronger." With that, she set off Zhuo Zhibo's beastial nature, and he threw himself on her. "I'll have you taste my strength today." Qian Rongzhi giggled as they went at it in the room.
Li Qingshan was currently submerged in a sea of books. The library of the Hawkwolf Guard was filled with various martial arts and secret manuals that they could freely view. It covered everything, whether it be fist styles, kicking styles, blade styles, or sword styles. Many of them could lead to a battle if they were tossed into the jianghu, yet they were like garbage here. They were placed around carelessly, with only an old man guarding it.
However, Li Qingshan failed to find any cultivation methods for Qi Practitioners. Just when he wanted to climb up the stairs, the old man stopped him. "Ten points of contribution for two hours. Credit is not taken."
Li Qingshan could only give up on that. However, just these martial arts manuals had inspired him quite a lot. He stayed there for two hours before becoming afraid that Xiao An would worry about him. As such, he returned to his residence.
Afterwards, he continued his rather boring cycle of cultivating, eating pills, and practising qi.
However, just when dusk had fallen, Ge Jian knocked on Li Qingshan's door and said in a mysterious manner, "I'll take you to a good place." He even purposefully told him to change his clothes and leave his blade behind.
Don't tell me they're trying to mess with me? That was what Li Qingshan thought, but he agreed readily. They would come sooner or later. He just needed to remain vigilant. At most, he could slaughter them all. He made Ge Jian wait for a bit as he returned to his room and brought Xiao An with him.
Arriving below the archway, he discovered that Diao Fei had already been waiting there.
Li Qingshan asked curiously, "Where are we going?" There was no need for them to kill Diao Fei as well, right?
Diao Fei said, "Brother Ge said he wanted to take us on a stroll so that we can see Jiaping city at night. Speaking of which, why don't we bring along Qian Rongzhi as well?"
"A place like that isn't suited for women." Ge Jian let out a smile that all men could understand.
Li Qingshan and Diao Fei glanced at each other. Neither of them said anything. It was difficult to turn down something like this in the first place, not to mention that it was good will from a fellow colleague. Li Qingshan personally believed he was a 'man who had dined with beautiful women' before, so he did not mind it too much.
Ge Jian could not help but smile when he saw their reactions. He thought about Zhuo Zhibo's orders again, to take Li Qingshan out for fun regardless of the cost. Make him play to his heart's content, the more the better; it was best if he would toss aside cultivation or practising qi altogether.
Li Qingshan had no idea that Zhuo Zhibo had already moved against him. There was no need for any violence at all to destroy a person through other ways. Many a times, sugar-coated bullets were even more terrifying than torture or beatings. Luxury and indulgence could easily wear away a person's willpower, making them descend into their most basic joys.
Zhuo Zhibo believed that Li Qingshan was just a bumpkin from the mountains, so how was it possible for him to endure such temptation? Even if Li Qingshan had truly been favoured by Gu Yanying, it was not like it was Zhuo Zhibo's fault at all. The only person that could be blamed would be Li Qingshan for being useless. This was a vicious scheme he had come up with through his great grasp over human nature. It was utterly silent, but it was devastating.
Jiaping city was illuminated completely. Even though it was night, lanterns blazed brightly, making it drastically different from Qingyang city. It reminded Li Qingshan of the large cities from his former life again. Under Ge Jian's eager guidance, the three of them entered the well-lit place, entering the most dazzling and busiest area.
The Parlour of Clouds and Rain.
This did not seem like the name of a brothel, but not only was it a brothel, but it was even the largest, most luxurious brothel within a range of several hundred meters.
From a certain perspective, this was the grandest structure Li Qingshan had seen so far in his time in this world. The pagoda-shaped building had a total of seven storeys, and the lantern light seemed to set the entire place ablaze.
Large numbers of people moved in and out of its huge entrance decorated with lanterns. It was even busier than the markets.
Before they had even entered, a steamy, exotic fragrance surged over. Li Qingshan shrugged. "It's just a brothel." Although it was quite extravagant, it still paled in comparison to the skyscrapers and neon lights of his former life.
Ge Jian said mysteriously, "You'll know once you go in. This isn't an ordinary brothel."
Before the three of them had even entered, a person came out. He had been tossed from the third floor, hitting the ground like a sack of potatoes.
A homicide case? Li Qignshan shivered inside. In a certain sense, the Hawkwolf Guard were the police of this world. He had never thought he would have a case as soon as he officially took his position. However, the passers-by in the surroundings all hurried off with their own matters after being surprised in the beginning, acting as if nothing had happened at all.
As for the person on the ground, he actually stood up with a groan and cursed aloud while rubbing his waist. Even louder curses replied to him from the parlour, "What gang leader or branch leader? If you don't have money, you'd better get out of here! If you're not going to leave, we'll cripple your martial arts and keep you around as a eunuch!"
The man tossed out from the third storey was actually a first-rate master, which was why he was uninjured. However, just how powerful was the person who managed to casually throw out a first-rate master?
That seemed to have shut the man up. He cursed beneath his breath a little more before joining the flow of people as if nothing had happened at all.
Ge Jian said, "Here, even the Hawkwolf Guard has to pay. It's best if we don't make any trouble."
Li Qingshan said, "They're just a brothel, so how are they so haughty?"
Diao Fei said, "The Sect of Clouds and Rain is renowned throughout the Clear River prefecture. They're skilled in dual cultivation, and they've established parlours of Clouds and Rain in various large cities. This is only one of them, though it is my first time."
Ge Jian smiled. "It looks like Diao Fei is the one with knowledge. Qingshan, you know what dual cultivation is, right?"
"Isn't it just that?" Li Qingshan truly felt like his horizons had been broadened. Sure, there were violent organisations and government systems composed of Qi Practitioners, but there were actually even brothels run by Qi Practitioners. He could not help but let his opinion of Qi Practitioners crumble slightly.
Ge Jian said, "Dual cultivation is just like ingesting pills and herbs. They're both ancient daoist methods, focusing on the unity of yin and yang. However, you're right as well. It's that, also known as sexual practices. Think about it. The women raised by a sect that specially studies sexual practices…"
Li Qingshan grinned. "Don't tell me they're harvesting yang to nurture their yin!" It was no wonder that Zhuo Zhibo wanted him to go out on the top of a woman. It would be far too hilarious.
Ge Jian laughed. "How could that be? If that's really the case, why would there still be so many people? Anyways, you'll know once you try it."
Li Qingshan shook his head. "I think we should forget about it." He did not feel like this was a good place.
Diao Fei wanted to leave as well. He would not have minded if it were a regular brothel. He had heard about many rumors regarding the Parlour of Clouds and Rain before. No matter when, pursuing pleasure would never benefit a Qi Practitioner's cultivation.
As a result, Ge Jian flapped his gums and rambled, "It's so tiring to practise qi, so shouldn't we reward ourselves?" "Only a combination of work and play will benefit cultivation. It doesn't matter if it's just once or twice." "You're men, so stop being so indecisive. Just enjoy yourselves. Are you supposed to be afraid of women as men?"
He diligently played the most common role in the world, a vile, silver tongued person with ill intentions. A vicious friend was even more terrifying than an impressive enemy.
Under his persuasions and urging, he basically dragged the two of them into the brothel. A hubbub of noise erupted in their ears. Many men and women embraced one another with ruffled clothing, forming a scene of ecstacy. In such a bizarre atmosphere, no one cared anymore, releasing their desires. It was just like the scenes of indulgences in the legends, such that even Li Qingshan became rather dumbfounded despite being a modern transmigrator.
"Master Ge, you've made the girls wait quite a bit. You've booked the best room. Please go upstairs!" A plump woman covered in makeup received them. She saw Li Qingshan and Diao Fei. "Hmm? Little brothers, you seem unfamiliar."
Li Qingshan saw true qi flow through the lady. She was actually a Qi Practitioner.
Ge Jian introduced the two of them, and the procuress said, "So you're the young talents the Hawkwolf Guard has recently recruited. I hope you'll take good care of this elder sister's business in the future." She extended her hand and touched Li Qingshan's chest. "Oh? You're quite able-bodied! You must be a Body Practitioner!" Her gaze towards Li Qingshan made it seem like she basically wanted to swallow him whole.

Part #0.5 of A Whole New Crowd series by Tijan
This night was already getting interesting.
I begged out of the next round of shots. Sasha and Amber were finishing off their—third?—I think.
"Taryn, you aren't done, are you?" Bryce taunted, watching me coolly. He looked smug. Narrowing my eyes, I took another long look at him and saw him wink at Tray. What the fuck?
What the hell was going on in his head?
"Maybe," I said stiffly and shoved away from the group. I plopped down next to Mandy and Carter, dipping my legs in the pool.
"Hey," Mandy murmured, disentangling from Carter as she swam in front of me. "What's going on up there?"
"I don't know. Some confusing shit."
"Pretty sure Bryce is trying to get me drunk," I hesitated and said lamely, "and that's it."
"Bryce probably wants to see if he can get a piece."
"Huh?" I was dumbfounded. Yeah. It made sense. A guy trying to get a girl drunk sometimes would equal getting a piece. Guys always think it's a sure thing. But me? And Bryce?
Carter laughed. "Bryce bet Tray he could get in your pants."
"And Tray agreed?" Okay. Now, I was just pissed. And insulted.
"No. Tray just said good luck, but he didn't take the bet. Bryce probably thinks if he can get you, Tray'll cough up the money."
Carter chuckled. "Tray bet me how long before you send Bryce whimpering like a puppy dog."
That made me grin. I'd never admit it to myself, but I was relieved that Tray hadn't played me.
Bryce could come after me all he wanted. Maybe now I'd just have some fun with him.
Suddenly the pool area was flooded with voices. Turning around, I saw a good thirteen people turn the corner. Some were already dressed in bathing suits and vaulted over us into the pool. Others took a seat at the many patio tables.
Mandy murmured, her eyes wide, "Looks like we're having a party."
I glanced over my shoulder and saw Tray was busy hooking up a keg that some guy had wheeled over to him. There were four other guys, all carrying two more kegs.
"Looks like it's going to be a party to remember," I murmured, more to myself.
Devon and Jasmine disappeared into the house, holding hands.
This night was going to be full of drama. I could feel it in my bones.
So far, I was actually having a good time.
This guy, I think his name was Rooters, slapped a two on the deck.
"You shit."
"Asshole."
Rooters just grinned and flipped his last card on the table, as he announced, "Pres-i-dente!"
We were playing Assholes and Presidents. I was neutral, which really pissed me off.
This other fucker, Aaron, slammed his last card on the deck and shouted, "Vice-President! Vice-President. Oh yeah! Oh Yeah!"
I spotted my turn and slipped in my last pair of sixes.
"Neutral!" I called out, laughing when Helms flicked me off, because I'd skipped him.
Honey and Bits glared at me, which made me laugh even harder. That wasn't their real names, but it was how I kept them apart. They seemed to appreciate the nicknames, since they'd been calling each other those names since I accidentally blurted them out after the last round.
I had been recruited into the game when Bryce had grabbed me and pushed me into the empty chair beside him. It seemed that two others had recently left, after starting their make out session during the game.
Before that, I'd stayed by the water for a while, but moved when it started getting colder out. Mandy and Carter were in the media room, making out. Tray was outside, talking with a group of guys by the kegs. And I'd gone the complete opposite direction when I caught a glimpse of Sasha and Amber, still in their bikinis, sitting on the laps of some guys at a patio table.
"Take that, fuckers!" Bryce hollered, throwing his last card on the pile.
Rooters rolled his eyes and drawled, "You're neutral, dumb-ass."
The table immediately quieted, waiting to see what Bryce would do. Guess the elite didn't get treated that way.
Bryce shrugged and retorted, "Just wait. I'll be Prez pretty soon and then you'll be my beer bitch."
Honey hooted. "Beer bitch, Rooters. That's you all the time, isn't it?"
Bit giggled, her eyes wistful as she skimmed over Bryce. "Yeah, beer bitch."
Bryce fully knew the effect he had on the girl because he winked, grinning smugly at her. Downing the rest of his drink, he turned to me. "How about it, Taryn? Another shot?"
"Right. And give you the chance to drug my drink? I'm not an idiot," I muttered, standing up. "I'll get my own drink."
"I said a shot. Not a drink. There's a big difference," Bryce argued back, following me.
"Whatever." I know. It lacked my usual energy, but really—the guy hadn't pissed me off enough to get the full force of my attitude. I guess I was still playing with him or maybe just playing along until he crossed the line. Then he'd be filleted.
Pushing through the crowd—it had tripled within the past hour—I half stumbled to the keg with Bryce right behind me. He put his hand on the small of my back for a moment. I don't know why he took it away, but it was the only thing that saved him because I was already turning around, ready to kick his ass. I looked at him and saw that he wasn't even looking at me.
I turned back around and saw Tray's amused eyes; he'd seen the whole thing.
I grinned at him, taking the cup that he was extending to me.
Bryce hollered against my ear, "I need two shots. Pronto!"
"Ah!" I yelled. "Back the fuck up, Bryce!"
Bryce grinned, ignoring me as he reached for the two shots.
Miraculously, I found one in my hand and frowned. Was I—never mind—I'd already shot it.
That one was good.
"Five bucks, right?" I knew that voice.
I grinned dumbly, happy seeing Trent give Tray some money."
"Trent!" I shouted.
He looked up, took one look at me, and shook his head, grinning. "Fuck, what are you doing here?"
I made my way to him, pushing two people out of the way. "I'm at a party," I announced stupidly.
Trent sighed.
"What are you doing here?" I asked, moving closer. The music was so loud. Did it have to be that loud?
"That girl I hooked up with last night called. Said this was the party to be at." Trent was frowning. Like, really, really frowning.
"Why are you looking like that?" I asked. It was a question that I needed answering. I didn't like frowns, did I?
Trent shook his head again, looking resigned. "Because I brought friends with me."
"That's great," I said warmly, grinning stupidly. Wait. "Who?"
"Not friends of yours," he said bluntly.
"Oh no." I took a step back.
"Yeah." He sighed again.
"Not…Gentley? I can handle Gentley."
"Not like this, Taryn. You can't handle Gentley drunk."
"I'm not drunk." I argued drunkenly.
Whee.
"Is Grayley here?" I asked weakly.
"Yeah. He's here too." He didn't sound happy about that either.
Then it clicked. I'm drunk. Gentley's here. Grayley's my best friend and Grayley's supposedly friends with Gentley now.
"Oh." I mouthed the word. Fuck. I was in a shitload of trouble.
"Girl," Trent held my shoulders and said seriously, "you need to get out of sight. Now."
"I'm not one to run, Trent," I replied. I wasn't. Why should I run? This was my turf now, right?
��I know, but right now it's what's in your best interest," he reasoned. Why did sober people always have to sound reasonable? Why couldn't they be drunk like people like me? The universe would be a lot better off. Truly.
Madly.
I always liked that song. I have no idea who sang it.
"Trent, do you know who sang the song—" I was about to ask, but I blinked, finding myself face to face with Crispin Gentley, Tracy Hardkins and Kimberley Ringsworld right behind him, followed by three other football players from Pedlam, and a pale Grayley.
I decided to take the offense and opened my mouth to say the first words in my head, "Why are so many goddamn fucking Pedlam people coming to Rawley parties?"
"Oh my fucking word," Kimberly spouted off. She really hated me. I'd heard once that she'd always had a crush on Brian. They'd gone on two dates and he'd dropped her because the next day I'd come back to Pedlam. That had been in eighth grade—she still hated me to this day because of it. Or at least…I think that's why she hated me.
Tracy was smiling. She looked evil. "You were one of us not long ago, Taryn."
"Oh no," I said horrified, "I was never one of you! Trust me."
Gentley chose that moment to interject, "Heard what you did to your ex. Nice. It was a good reminder why I never dated you."
"That and the fact that you need to have a dick to date me. It's one of my requirements."
Whoa. That was a personal best.
Trent and a few of the other guys were desperately coughing, trying to cover up their laughs, turning away.
Gentley glared at me, full force, as he stalked closer. "Oh, Taryn. Trust me. I've got more than enough dick for you."
I smiled sweetly. "Not really. I've seen pictures."
That pissed him off. Even drunk, I took a step back in self-preservation.
"Maybe I should give you another view," Gentley whispered, suddenly in my face. "Maybe you can get up close and personal to reconsider."
That didn't sound like a good thing to do.
Suddenly, Gentley was wrenched away. Grayley and Trent were both standing between us.
"She's drunk, Crisp. Leave her alone," Grayley was saying, pushing Gentley back another step.
"Are you kidding me?" Gentley laughed, more perplexed. "Are you and Gardner actually protecting that bitch?"
"It's not right, dude," Trent said. "Taryn's not up to par. Anything less cheapens the triumph. We all know that."
"Please," Gentley scoffed, shoving both of them back. "Get off me, Gray. You've been in love with her since the eighth grade. But you, Gardner, I'm surprised."
I narrowed my eyes. Grayley was not in love with me. No fucking way. I was about to say that too when I felt familiar hands grab my arm and pull me backwards.
Tray.
And Bryce. Then, blinking, I saw Devon, Carter, Grant, and about four other guys materialize out of nowhere.
"Out," Tray ordered. "We don't need a brawl right now."
"Excuse me? What the fuck did you just say?"
"I said," Tray said icily, "you can leave. Now."
"Whatever, fucker, we all know it was you who messed up our field and gym," Gentley growled.
Without another word, Tray stepped up and neatly clipped Gentley on the jaw. Crispin fell. Just like that.
Tray stepped in and kicked him. "This is my town and if you go against one of mine, you go against me. Now get the fuck out."
Gentley shoved him back and stood up. "Taryn may have been one of your bitches in bed, but trust me—she's just like any other slut."
That was it.
The fucker was going down. Once and for all. Drunk or not, I could still talk and words were my second favorite weapon.
I shoved through the crowd and shot back, acid dripping from my voice, "Please. Crispin. How long are you going to hold this grudge against me? I rejected you in the ninth grade. Two. Fucking. Years. Ago. I'd figured that Kimberly had been comforting you. I mean, you and her got so much in common since both of you wanted to break Brian and me up." I looked at Kimberly. "You're more than welcome to him, now by the way. He's probably at home since I landed him in the E.R. today. I'm sure he's got to nurse those wounds."
"Shut the fuck up."
I blinked. More in surprise because it hadn't come from Kimberly. Or Gentley.
It came from Grayley.
"Grayley…" I stammered.
"You don't fucking think, Taryn!" he yelled. I could see his rage now. "Yeah. Big fucking deal. You beat Brian up. Guess what? He's not going against you. He never would—he knows you can bury him. No, he's going to go after me or Geezer or Kerri—or anyone else. Maybe even Jace. You ever think of that?"
I paled at his words. Fuck. He was right.
"You and Jace. Bri's known about the two of you since it happened, he just never had proof. Now he does. All he needs is some courage from some fucking empty Jack Daniels bottle and he might actually go after his brother with a 9mm. How'd you like that? Would you just love it if I took you to Jace's funeral? Or Brian's funeral?"
"Grayley…" I tried.
"No," he cut me off, "you just…you never fucking think."
Suddenly, I was sober and was really looking at Grayley. It was plain as day, he was exhausted. Exhausted from fighting on three different sides—mine, Brian's and Gentley's.
"Grayley," I murmured softly, "I'm—"
"You're sorry. You're always sorry, Taryn," he cut off bitterly. "You're so fucking sorry that you don't ever think about what you do. I'm tired of worrying about you. God…what you do sometimes, Taryn. If you ever get caught, do you know what could happen to you? Where you could end up?"
"I stopped."
"No," Grayley shook his head, "you didn't stop. My God, where were you just yesterday? You weren't at the game. Where were you?"
I paled.
"Shut up," I said quickly. "That was…"
"That was stupid. And suicidal. And you better fucking not ever do it again," Grayley finished roughly.
I couldn't say anything. He was right and we both knew it.
"Grayley," Tracy spoke up, moving to stand beside him, curling one hand around his arm, "come on. We're all leaving."
I never would've thought those two would hook up.
That was the last stupid thought in my head when Grayley shot me one more exasperated glare, before he turned and followed everyone else who had left without us realizing.

The school that was started by two Ethiopian-American Diasporas, including the head of the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation in Ethiopia, HaddisTadesse and PanosHatziandreas, started to educate promising students with vulnerable backgrounds in 2013.
With a vision of creating an "education system that helps students be eclectic and well informed leaders of tomorrow," that has an "Ethio-centric values" to its core; has managed to send some of its students to leading educational institutions, to the likes of Duke and Yale Universities and has scored a 100 percent graduation rate.
Some of its students have been granted scholarships to take part in Yale Young Global Scholars program and a summer program at Cornel University.
In addition to its international teaching, the school is known to incorporate local teaching, teachingthe ancient language of Geez, integrated African studies and mentorship programs. It also has an integrated special education program and an expanded student clubs: in photography, Science, technology and a student government program to help them become good and well-rounded citizens.
The school currently has 117 students, teaching in high school grades and is expected to double its enrollment as a result of the new partnership.
Noah Samara is a founder of Worldspace, the first in the world to launch satellite radio and KassyKebede, once married to Ethiopian Superstar international model LiyaKebede– a noted Wall Street hedge fund manager.

I kind of feel like a tool being all like…oh hey guys, I am going on another vacation. But here I am – tooling it up.
We are spending the last 2 weeks of our Summer vacation in California and Hawaii, visiting with family. It was my Mother-in-law's dream to bring her grandkids on a Disney vacation with some of her retirement money. I am pretty sure it is her goal in life to not leave this Earth with a single penny left – and I personally believe, that is freaking AWESOME. After all, you can't take it with you. And she worked hard her entire life as a single Mother supporting her only child, putting herself through college and working for the DOD. So if she wants to spend every last penny, money that she worked super hard for her entire laugh, than I say HURRAH and good for her!!!
I am just the lucky recipient of one of these blessings as the Mother of her grand babies. So here we go again, fulfilling one of my Mother-in-law's bucket list items.
Oh poor me. Off to the Disney resort in Hawaii. Another vacation…again.
Seriously, just pinch me. Is this really my life right now? Who am I?!!
I'll be sure to take lots of pictures and post them here upon my return in two weeks.
I love you MIL!!!! I have the same philosophy!!! I'm not leaving a penny here! I plan to retire next year from the FEDS, and I am going to enjoy every minute my Lord grants me!!!! Hope everything went well with your lovely vacation!!!!

Rail-Powered Property - Property-Powered Rail: a transformational approach?
Between 31 May 2018 and 31 July 2018, the Department for Transport held a 'Call for ideas' in respect of rail market-led proposals (MLPs); essentially a call for proposals that were 'financially credible without government support'.
There was a strong response to this call for ideas, with the department receiving 30 submissions, although DfT has not yet commented on the relative merits of these. An MLP is defined as 'a project promoted by the private sector which addresses an opportunity not necessarily identified or prioritised in a department programme or through the Network Rail-led long term planning process'.
In Canada's National Capital Region (over a dozen municipalities including Ottawa Ontario and Outaouais Quebec), a consortium of companies is taking a market-led design from a business design innovator to its logical conclusion. The 'Rail-Powered Property – Property-Powered Rail' (RPP - PPR) Open Market Development Model is designed to optimise return on investment in property by delivering metropolitan-scale passenger railway systems and services on a commercial open market basis, without dependence upon government subsidies, public debt or taxes.
The RPP - PPR model is currently being put forward by Canada's MOOSE Consortium (Mobility Ottawa-Outaouais: Systems & Enterprises), led by director general Joseph Potvin. The plan is backed by some local politicians and opposed by others (of course!), and aims to deliver an inter-provincial metropolitan rail system in Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec.
Whilst many issues remain, MOOSE wants to run metropolitan passenger trains over existing rail corridors owned by multiple local rail companies. In this business model, independent stations pay license fees for train service based on apportioning the actual increased income and asset value of property within 0.8 km of the station. The augmented financial value of property near train stations is common knowledge. But RPP-PPR is the first to suggest that a major railway system can be financed entirely upon this uplift.
Joseph Potvin will be speaking and running a Q+A session at the Rail Stations and Property Summit on February 27 in London. He will also be contributing a more detailed article to the next issue of this Bulletin.
A key enabler of the process is the sharing of value-added in transactions through a 'smart-contracts' component co-designed by Potvin in his capacity as Executive Director of the Xalgorithms Foundation, a Canadian high-tech not-for-profit that is dedicated to 'the development and evolution of a free/libre/open, standard way to publish and to fetch computational algorithms over the Internet, with particular attention to advancing the fairness and efficiency of markets through algorithmic commerce'.
Essentially, a passenger railway project management company plans a high quality train service, then in an open market it sells licenses to independent station enterprises. Under a framework agreement, trains service each participating locality in exchange for a monthly fee based upon a formula that makes use of independent empirical data on the property market effects of that railway access.
The increment attributed to the railway service by a mutually agreed property valuation company sets the price, but each station enterprise remains free to assemble funds by their preferred method (for example, affirmative covenants; common elements freehold condominium; municipal tax instruments).
This RPP-PPR model can bootstrap all start-up funds for the railway and generate sustained income, at a scale enabling straightforward capital financing of infrastructure. This eliminates dependence on government subsidies, public debt or taxes, and it directs investors towards diverse property development opportunities around stations.
This model is designed to respect each municipality's prerogatives over zoning, approvals, taxation, bylaws and municipal transportation planning in accordance with normal application review and approval processes, whilst providing for rail systems that would normally involve massive public sector spending, and tricky co-operation among several municipalities.
