For the first time in four years, Cornell's early decision acceptance rate increased for the Class of 2024.
Cornell admitted 1,576 out of 6,615 early decision applicants, or 23.8 percent, a slight increase from last year's 22.6 percent acceptance rate for the Class of 2023, according to University statistics provided to The Sun. The early decision acceptance rate for the Class of 2022 was 24.4 percent.
Of the accepted students, 51.6 percent are women — a four percent decrease from last year. Students of color comprise 39.7 percent of admitted students, a similar figure to the percentage of students of color admitted early for the Class of 2023. Early decision applications from underrepresented minorities also increased by 11 percent.
Legacy students — whom the University recommends applying early decision — constitute 22.1 percent of the class, the same as last year. Athletes are 12.1 percent of the admitted class, a 1.4 percent decrease from last year.
According to the press release, early decision applications for the Class of 2024 rose by 7.4 percent when compared to the Class of 2023 and 4.6 percent over the Class of 2022. The University received the highest number of early decision applications in its history for this year's admissions cycle. Over the decade, early decision applications to the University has increased by 90 percent.
Compared to last year, the percentage for international students admitted early decision also rose, with international students composing 13.6 percent of early admits.
Students who received news of their admission to Cornell on Thursday night were elated. One student wrote, "So happy to say I'm a Cornellian!"
Parents and Cornell's schools also expressed their excitement with the admissions decisions. On Twitter, a parent wrote of their daughter's acceptance into the Dyson School of Applied Economics, accompanied with a video of her viewing her acceptance letter.
SO EXCITED for my daughter, Audrey! Her dream school! Accepted tonight to Cornell University Dyson School of Business, Class of 2024! The video says it all. #Cornell2024 #Cornell pic.twitter.com/fDxbBtyKao

Among all applicants, 21.7 percent were deferred, moving their applications into the regular decision admissions cycle. This is the lowest percentage of deferred students in the past three years as 24.3 percent of early applicants were deferred for the Class of 2023 and 22.9 percent for the Class of 2022.
Out of the Ivy League schools which have released their early decision acceptance statistics, Cornell has the highest early admissions acceptance rate. Harvard University's early acceptance rate increased to 13.9 percent, while Brown University reached a record-low early acceptance rate of 17.5 percent.
Although Princeton University, Columbia University and Dartmouth University notified applicants on Dec. 12, the universities have not published their acceptance rates. Yale University and the University of Pennsylvania will release their early notifications on Dec. 16.
The University's target enrollment for this fall is 3,215, marking the early decision admits as 49 percent of the likely class of 2024. The overall acceptance rate will be published in April, after Cornell notifies regular decision applicants on March 26.

When Yankee superhero Aaron Judge first donned adidas cleats, he was in the Icon 4. The Icon 4 is the same cleat that Kris Bryant wears, but later Judge found he needed something a little different. He went for the Adidas Icon 4 Bounce cleats, a model that is now available for $85-$90 ($30+ cheaper than the Icon 4).
The difference in these cleats is the foams used underfoot: "Boost" on the Icon 4 and "Bounce" on the Icon 4 Bounce. According to the internet, Bounce foam is firmer and heavier than adidas' world-famous Boost foam, which is used under the forefoot of the Icon 4. If Boost is "squishier" than Bounce, it would stand to reason then, that since Aaron Judge is a behemoth of a man and gravity effects him more than 99.9% of humans, maybe the squish was just a little too squishy. Bounce's firmness may offer greater support, so Judge is in the Icon 4 Bounce cleats.
At $85-$90, this MLB-caliber cleat is a great value, especially if they're the same cleats Aaron Judge is wearing.

Comments on the Tcl'ers Wiki
Purpose: Discussion about the contents of this site, called the Tcler's Wiki.
Comment about the implementation of this Wikit should go to Suggestions for Wikit instead. There is also a Wiki Gripes page to comment on the concept of Wiki itself. And one where release changes and known bugs are listed, see Wikit problems.
LV well, this is a "how do I do this on the wiki question" - I don't know that technically I would call this "contents" of the wiki...
Anyways, here's what I wanted to do. I DON'T want to use an external search engine - why? Well, when I have tried before, I have ended up with the feeling that not all of the pages are being indexed. Maybe this is bogus - I don't have time to mess checking... So, I decided that was a dumb response on my part. So here's what I did. First, I googled for "site:wiki.tcl.tk clock" and got 86 hits. Then I came into the wiki and used "clock*" as my search term and got over 500 hits. So, googling returns me a subset of the total hits on the wiki.
So, using the wiki search engine itself, I watch to look for wiki pages that contain the words "count" "down" and "clock".
Is it possible to do this type of search? If not, I want to add that functionality to a wish list somewhere. If it is possible, what's the syntax?
Comparison with the Java Wiki
LV Humm. I just took a look at wiki.java.net. It doesn't look bad. I don't particularly like the constant sidebar taking up valuable real estate on each page. If I ignore the side bar, which functionally is similar to the list of links we have at the bottom of each page, except that there are many more links on the side of java.net pages than there are on wiki.tcl.tk's pages (thank goodness we don't put a lot of links on the page), I don't see a lot of difference between the actual display of the wiki pages there and tcler's wiki page display. There are some style sheet differences - and I think everyone has agreed those could be tweaked, once suggestions are made. What is rather nice is that there is an integration between wiki.java.net and the java portal at www.java.net that is a smooth transition. It looks, in the first few pages I browsed, as if the same style sheets were used on the portal site, the forum site, the projects site, etc. There's quite a web team providing resources, etc. there. They do a nice job. It surely would be nice if there were people in the Tcl community who stepped forward to coordinate such work. Over the years, there have been a few volunteers, but the overall coordination remains on the To Do list.
NullGravy 28 May 2007 Please read what I wrote not what you think I wrote. I love Tcl/Tk and have done for years (I've got a credit in Ousterhout's book (not NullGravy) obviously) BUT:
What I am complaining about is the APPEARANCE of the wiki not, in most cases, the content {although an awful lot of pages are well obsolete}.
For people who are already converts the appearance probably doesn't matter that much. For anyone else it gives a very bad impression and if you don't think that first impressions are of vital performance what do you think the ::ttk is all about?
Suppose that you are trying to sell your boss on the wonders of Tcl and your colleague is trying to sell him on java say: - He does a quick browse of the web and finds pages like this one and pages like this one: http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/Main/WebHome - You lose.
CMcC Somebody's boss chose java because its wiki's appearance is nicer? I guess that's why they're the boss, huh. It would suck to have been selected by them for employment.
LES: I just love wikit. It's so simple, light and quick and straightforward. It looks and feels a lot like a book, not a silly magazine with a very young readership putting a lot more effort into trying to look cool than on offering really good content.
RS fully agrees. After several hundred pages I wrote here, I can't say I really missed markup features. The only thing I sometimes wish for is a diff between versions, which e.g. Wikipedia does nicely.
CMcC thinks there's always room for improvement, but honestly doesn't feel inclined to spend a lot of effort pursuing PHBs by making eye candy. Having said that, there are CSS improvements mooted.
What I would like to know, from NullGravy, is what specific features from the other wiki he cites would be useful improvements.
Minor issues
HJG 2007-05-27 I think, the currently used wiki-software is fine, but a few things needs fixing. E.g. there is no markup for linebreak (like "
"), underline and section-headers. Markup for tables would be nice, too. But the most important item to fix is the history/revision-feature, so you can compare and see what was changed in previous versions. This is really urgent, otherwise no ordinary user can repair spam (or edit-accidents).
Flamebait
NullGravy 27 May 2007 Let's face it guys - Wikit sucks!
CMcC it seems to have functioned well enough in its purpose. Evidence of this is the number of pages, the fact that it seems to be used successfully by a large number of people, the frequency of edits, and the quality and utility of content. As a matter of general policy, I would recommend giving priority to the concerns of people who contribute useful and high quality content to the wiki, and to tcl. NullGravy, can you suggest any content which you have contributed which may have been improved by changes to the wiki software, or can you suggest any content which you might have contributed if not for the lack of some feature?
NullGravy How are we supposed to convince people that Tcl/Tk is alive and well when one of the "main" sources of information looks like it hasn't been updated since the stone age?
CMcC The main value of this wiki (and I would hope of any wiki) is its content. That content is quite frequently updated. If it looks otherwise to you, might I suggest perusing Recent Changes to dispel that impression?
NullGravy The great strength of Tcl is that you can lash up something that works extremely quickly.
CMcC I presume you mean that it is a strength of tcl that one can extremely quickly 'lash up' something that works. I'm not seeing the problem.
NullGravy The great weakness of Tcl is that you can lash up something that works extremely quickly.
CMcC Oh well, it was the best of times, it was the worst of times, and all that.
NullGravy Other wicki tools have moved on.
CMcC What specfic changes have they made which might be useful to this wiki's provision of content?
NullGravy Either someone needs to spend a lot of time improving wikit or this site should move to something like Twiki [L1 ]
CMcC Which specific features of Twiki (and the other wikis to which you allude) do you think would be beneficial to this wiki?
Recent Changes title
LV April 21, 2006 It seems like it would be useful for the Recent Changes page to include the web site name in the title... that is "Recent Changes to The Tcler's Wiki". Right now, the title "Recent Changes" could apply to many different web sites (including most wikits).
Wikit source code
LV April 20, 2006
I was wondering today whether it might be worthwhile to move major chunks of code from the wiki to some sort of web repository where one could more easily pick up just the code, and could tell when code releases had occurred.
If a piece of code were to move from the wiki to the repository, a link to the repository would be left behind.
The idea is that discussion, and even suggestions of changes, would occur here. But someone could, at particular points in time, as they so desire, "promote" the code into the cvs or some other repository, against which it might be easier to write interfaces for downloading and installing.
Advertising Tcl through the Wiki
RD: Looking at the Wiki home page, I don't see it stated in an obvious way that the Wiki is tcl powered! I know about the Wiki project and all that, but for someone cruising through it might not be obvious. I also know that I could edit the home page(maybe not) and add something, but I don't think it's my place to do that.
13mar03 jcw - Good point, fixed... thx!
LV: I hope to see people add comments here on what they like, don't like, and would like to see come in the future - Larry Virden
JC: Likewise! I've just set up a few more pages in an attempt to spark discussion and help generate ideas
LV: Should new comments go at the top of pages, or at the bottom?
JC: At the bottom, it's what seems to be happening most of the time.
ulis,2002-09-29: top or bottom, the point is "what is new?".
LV: Suggestion - any new page created should have the constant string "Purpose: " at the top - each page should discuss the purpose of the page up front, to let someone know if this is the place.
JC: It's starting to happen, as you can see... :)
SB: I tried to test this integrity by searching on the word "suggestions*" on the search page, because I wanted to add some suggestions for wikit. This page came out as the topmost page because somebody has written that suggestions for wikit should go to a different page than this.Suggestions for Wikit The page where suggestions should be suggested landed a couple of lines further down. Now because I have written the word suggestions so many times here, this page will probably always win the contest when somebody want to add suggestions for wikit (Oh, no he sait it again.) I do not believe that the purpose section will serve its purpose as references for better places as they will cause the wrong place to show up in place of the right place. When this topic has been discussed and a solution has been found this confusing passage can be deleted as it serves no purpose.
Dating comments
1999 Mar 9
DGP: How about a habit of dating comments as above so that later readers have an idea of the age of contributions? Could be handy on long-lived discussion pages.
BSA 23-Mar-1999: How about automatically linking a bulletin board page, like this one, to every page. I would consider it bad protocol to just edit someone's hard crafted page to ask a question or argue a point.
LV: 24-Mar-1999: One of the basic philosophies of a Wiki is that all pages are open for editing. While one normally would think it might be considered bad protocol, it not only isn't, but on a Wiki it might be considered bad protocol to NOT edit someone's page when one sees a possible problem, typo, etc.
AK, Mar 24, 1999: I usually mark a discussion area on my pages, between 2 horizontal rules, either at the beginning or at the end. If there is no marked area it is implitly located at the end. This should be sufficient for small discussions. If they grow too large I/we can still relocate them to a separate page.
DL, 4/4/1999:
First of all, glad we all agree on how to format dates :-)
Am I missing something - is there NO way to put a URL in a Wiki page and have it appear with a tag that is not the URL or a number in brackets? If I was writing the raw HTML, I would just embed the tag I want to see between  and . How do I do it here?
LV: April fourth, nineteen hundred and ninety-nine - you are right, there is no way to do what you want.
JC: Cinqieme Avril, mille neuf cents quatre vingt dixneuf - let's keep in mind that wiki is more about content than about style. The primitive text-based markup is just a hack to give everyone a little markup. And there's a perfect excuse for it, too: if you want good-looking pages, use HTML, put it on the web somewhere and link to it. Personally, I tend to like the fact that there is only a full URL or a very inconspicuous hint for links. For one, both are clear hints that the link is off-site, whereas all tagged links are on-site.
DL: today, can't tell the exact time because sun is behind a cloud - Granted, but I wanted to drop in a really-long URL (CGI script name with LOTS of parameters) and I don't think it enhances readability in the least! To the contrary, a simple phrase explaining what it means is much more helpful. Many URL's are similarly goobledigook. Indeed, the wiki URL's are a good example. It doesn't seem fair that the wiki URL's get to have meaningful tags and everything else has to go through this awkward extra-page maneuver or display goobledigook.
JC: same day, not behind a cloud, but under the horizon - now it's my turn to ask "am I missing something?". If you don't want to show long URLs, then why not use the bracket notation? Perhaps like this: A DejaNews thread on invoking executables [L2 ]. I see your point. The problem is that this Wiki also works in local mode (i.e. Tcl/Tk, no HTML in sight), so web-specific solutions are not optimal. Another argument I could use, is: "other wiki's work the same way". But I won't... :o)
RS 1999-08-04: I like the Wiki very much, and slow by slow will contribute what I have in potentially useful (or fun) Tcl stuff. I think the vitality of the Wiki will come out better if people reading it try to also write something (meaningful, of course). If one routinely checks the [Recent] page, it's easy to keep up-to-date with the discussion. Maybe the link "Changes" (hmm;-) could be made more conspicuous, e.g. by a clickable logo in the title line -- even if we writers from outside can't do much more than HTML 1.0, inside the Wikit code inline GIFs and whatever can of course be generated. Another idea: the TCP/IP numbers on the Recent page are pretty anonymous. I respect anonymity if desired, but maybe contributors could voluntarily register a string (e.g. their name) for display instead of, or along with, 193.198.144.2 (that's me;-)
Code on pages
November 06, 2000 LV: One of the things that has happened in the past year is a trend for adding pages with source code on the site. This is great for reviews and commentary. However, it is less wonderful for the joe average user/amateur programmer who is then uncertain how to go about getting the code from the wiki into some sort of organized manner into tcl for reuse.
I wonder if an effort to build some sort of contributed tcl library in a TEA or other format for installation would be something in which people would have an interest?
(DKF: Since this comment was made, tcllib was created.)
Wiki features/comparisons
WHD: I really like a lot of the content of the Wiki, but I think that as it's currently constituted the Tcl'ers Wiki fails on two fronts. The first is that as Wikis go, Wikit is fairly primitive. Take a look at, say, http://emacswiki.org for an example of a UseMod Wiki site. Check out the Recent Changes page, the Preview capabilities, etc., etc., etc. Very nice. To really blow your mind, go look at http://twiki.org for an industrial strength Wiki. I use a UseMod Wiki for my personal notes, and find it much more pleasant to use than Wikit. Unfortunately, it's not in Tcl.
But even without updating Wikit, we can make the site easier to use by establishing certain conventions. For example, most Wikis have the notion of "categories". Simply, if you're going to have a page about coding tricks, call the page Category Tricks. Then, instead of including all of the tricks on that page, put each one on its own page. At the bottom of each such page, put a simple, unadorned link to it, i.e., Category Tricks, and list each such page on the Category Tricks. What's neat about this is it makes searching work for you: by searching on "Category Tricks" you can find all pages in that category whether they are explicitly listed on the Category Tricks page or not. Again, see http://emacswiki.org for an example. -- William Duquette
LV Will, I tried to do something like that with the BOOK pages and Cameron did something similar with the COMPANY pages. Adding suggestions like yours to some sort of Wiki style guide makes a lot of sense.
As for more advanced features, I've always wondered by all the wonderfully talented Tcl programmers never got around to enhancing the scripts for this web site.
EE: Ack. did you HAVE to do that, WDH? I had a look at TWiki like you suggested, and it blew my mind through overload... NOTE: Despite the fact that the whole purpose of a wiki is to share information, I at least, and possibly others, find a page where every other word is a hyperlink to be pretty intimidating. While our first page isn't as bad as the TWiki first page, I'd still pretty heavy as a complete newcomer. -- actually, now I look again, I see that http://purl.org/tcl/wiki/ (and similar) point to a very simple front page... heh, and far from being too intimidating, I think it could stand to be spruced up a little.
After looking at TWiki, I wonder why we don't consider migrating to it. The Tcl'ers Wiki is a great resource, and I've certainly benefited from it. But I'm not one that feels it's necessary to always reinvent the wheel, and I also don't like the 'not invented here' syndrome.
Is the Tcl'ers Wiki supposed to be a showcase for Tcl (i.e., built with Tcl only), or as I believe, a knowledge conduit for Tcl? If the latter, why not use the best tools at hand?
I don't mean to denigrate our current Wiki, but it pales in comparison to TWiki. Now I know some will say, "Well, let's roll up our sleeves and get to work improving the Tcl Wiki to improve it". But as I continue aging, my free time becomes less and less. Again, why reinvent the wheel.
Let's acknowledge where the Wiki has taken us, applaud it, and move on.
Just some thoughts... Marty Backe
JCW - Bravo, Marty, I for one think you make a very valid point. Whenever I look, I continue to be impressed by what some of the other wiki clones have to offer (and appalled by others). Seeing half the planet build alternate wiki's sure looks like a bad use of scarce human resources - especially in the scripting world, where there is so much more to be done. I'll refrain from making comments about your suggestions for now, but hope the space below will get filled by perhaps a list of considerations, concerns, and pro/con items. There are many trade-offs, it'd be nice to try to figure out a good strategy for the future.
While twiki is powerful, I think it loses some of the simplicity that the wiki concept was based on. I don't know if that's good or bad; it's just an observation. The revision feature is nice, though.
RS: And they still have CloseTogetherTitles - I looked around, but didn't have the feeling that our Wiki is worse.
LV considering the bad rap that the perl based chat software has around here, and the static I got from using persistent URLs because the name _sounds_ like the Perl programming language, I'd sure not want to see us move to a Perl based Wiki unless there was a really, really, really good case for doing so. Larry. I would encourage you to take a look at the TWiki referenced above (I don't know if your comment here was based on any investigation of the TWiki). It seems strange to cast aspersions on any Perl software because of some negative experiences with some chat software. Marty Backe
On the other hand, there's no reason why there should only be ONE wiki. If one or more people would like to try a Tcl Twiki, I would encourage them to set one up and announce it. Let the customers decide based on where they spend their time.
MR I've actually been working on another Tcl based Wiki implementation in my spare time (which should be greatly increasing over the summer). I think one of the things thats gone wrong is that the more complex Wiki implementations become, well, more complex, and that ends up destroying a lot of the simplicity inherent in the concept. In other words, perhaps not the best tool to be designed by technical crowds. :-)
Ro Simplicity is underrated. The TWiki featuritis gives me the heebee-jeebees.
Marty Backe I'm (slowly) writing a utility to convert the entire Wiki into a TWiki implementation. What I mean by this, is that each Wiki page will be reformatted per the TWiki rules, and inserted into a new Tcl TWiki (hosted on my site - for demonstration purposes). The point of this excercise will be to let people experience all of the Tcl Wiki's knowledge via the TWiki wiki. I feel it will make a compelling case for switching.
I have already installed the TWiki on my site to fulfull all of my personal needs, and have been successful in getting one going at work.
The TWiki's strong points:
Complete revision control
Logins (for editing, not reading)
Complete html compatibility
Topic moves/renames
Sophisticated search
Built-in indexes.

Ro June 20, 2002
Personally I like this Wiki wayyyyy more than the Twiki. This one is so simple, and if it wasn't, I wouldn't bother contributing. I have enough things to learn and worry about;>
Well, the TWiki offers a lot more capability (and I guess complexity), but doesn't force you to use any of it. You can still simply hit the edit button (like the Tcl Wiki), enter your text (like the Tcl Wiki), and click the save button (like the Tcl Wiki). I don't see how this would dissuade people from using it. Marty Backe
KPV Three comments on this Wiki, two technical, the other social.
First, I'd love for each edited page to show change bars to indicate what has changed.
Second, while editing, I'd like, in addition to the Save button, a Preview button. Not a huge need, but I get embarrassed by how many formatting mistakes I tend to make.
Third, sometimes I think a more jeopardy-like commented style is appropriate for many pages, i.e. comments at the beginning ala the Ask, and it shall be given. page. Most of my wiki pages are short little programs, like octabug. For these pages I'd much rather see the comments at the top with the code at the bottom. Otherwise you're forced to scroll past several hundred lines of code to find the comments.
29sep02 jcw - First one, I agree with 100%, it really would make this wiki more usable. Second one, I cannot quite grasp: is saving, reviewing the results, and editing again not equally practical?
The third one is indeed a social one - maybe this can one day be introduced by having source code in separate pages (with version tracking and even colorization to tempt people to use that mechanism), then the remaining text would be easier to read through again?
sm 23 Jan 2004: With regards to the "second one" (Preview button suggestion), there's a patch to Wikit to add this functionality described at Wikit web Preview button.
There are lots of nice examples of source code in the Wiki, but it is not clear what license the code might be available under. Is there any default license we can assume (e.g., the code is in the public domain unless specified), or should we assume "all rights reserved by the author"?
David S. Cargo ([email protected])
RS: Everything I put on the Wiki is free for all purposes, but no warranty, and I assume that holds for all contributors.
See Who owns the content on this Wiki.
07oct02 To me it appears as if the Ask, and it shall be given page has gotten too big to edit in the text box that pops up in the form created by my version of Internet Explorer (Version 6, SP1). That means that it cannot be edited by me, and might mean that it could be accidentally truncated by people trying to edit it. Is there a maximum length to a Wiki page? Can there be a warning when somebody tries to edit a maximum length page? escargo
07oct02 jcw - Nasty... how far should one go in accommodating buggy (or perhaps just ancient) browsers? One solution would be to auto-generate a page, listing all pages over 30 Kb (32 Kb is the danger zone, AFAIK). That allows us all to stay out of trouble... and anyone to decide to split it up.
I'm all in favor of splitting up pages btw - I find wiki pages very awkward well before that limit.
07oct02 escargo Could the wiki be easily enhanced to show the length of the page in bytes (or kilobytes) somewhere? Is there a wiki style for invisible text that would reside on the input page but not be shown on the HTML page?
26nov02 jcw Missed this before - good idea, thx. I'll look into it next round of changes.
CliC 2010-11-28 -- As wiki layouts and usability go, the Tclers' Wiki is one of the better ones I've seen. Not much glitz and glitter, but that's a feature IMHO. I guess my only complaint, if I have one, is the speed (or lack thereof) of the wiki itself. Page generation can take a long time (>10 seconds at times) and that time is quite inconsistent. Not sure if this is hosting bandwidth, server resources, the hundreds of millions of Tcl fans out there, or what :). My DSL connection is solid, and other websites (well, at least those not called Facebook :) work fine.
I can easily overlook this, however, as this wiki is such a fantastic source of information. Thanks to the contributors, and especially the maintainers!
DKF: I wonder what's up, since it seems very snappy to me these days. (It was having lots of problems a month ago though; a bunch of bugs have been squelched between then and now.)

The Latest: Partial tally has nationalist Bosnian Serb ahead
BANJA LUKA, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) — The Latest on Bosnia's general election (all times local): 12:40 a.m. A partial vote count…
BANJA LUKA, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) — The Latest on Bosnia's general election (all times local):
A partial vote count from Bosnia's general election shows a Bosnian Serb nationalist leader is ahead in the race for the Serb seat in the country's three-person presidency.
Bosnia's election authorities said that with less than half of the ballots from Sunday's election counted, Milorad Dodik was leading with 55 percent of the vote. His main rival, Mladen Ivanic, was projected to have won nearly 42 percent.
The state election commission said that with 43 percent of the vote tallied, a moderate candidate for the Croat member of the presidency, Zeljko Komsic, had captured 49 percent of the vote, while nationalist contender Dragan Covic had 38 percent.
It said Sefik Dzaferovic, from the ruling Party of Democratic Action, has won the Muslim seat in the presidency.
Pro-Russian Serb leader Milorad Dodik has declared victory in the race to fill the Serb seat in Bosnia's three-member presidency.
Dodik said he won 56 percent of the vote in Sunday's election and that his main opponent, Mladen Ivanic, won 44 percent.
Dodik says his claim is a projection made with 85 percent of ballots counted and not expected to change significantly.
He said "the people have decided."
Preliminary official results are expected later.
The presidency also has a Muslim and a Croat member. Dodik advocates eventual separation of Serbs from Bosnia. His election deals a blow to efforts to strengthen the country's unity more than 20 years after a brutal ethnic war in 1992-95
The two main contenders for the Serb seat in Bosnia's three-person presidency both say they are leading in the election for the post.
The Bosnian Serb ruling coalition of President Milorad Dodik said Sunday that he was ahead of opposition candidate Mladen Ivanic, while the rival camp said the same.
The two groups also had conflicting information about election results for main positions in Bosnia's Serb-run entity.
The claims were based on a partial vote count and could not be independently confirmed. Official results are expected later.
Bosnia's presidency also has a Muslim and a Croat member. Dodik is a pro-Russian nationalist who advocates separation of Serbs from the rest of Bosnia. Ivanic is considered to be more moderate.
Election officials said more than half of 3.3 million voters cast ballots Sunday.
Polls have closed in Bosnia, where a general election could decide whether the country remains locked in disputes from a brutal ethnic war or advances toward European Union and NATO membership.
Some 3.3 million people were eligible to vote on Sunday for an array of institutions in Bosnia's complex governing system, created by a peace accord that ended the 1992-95 war that killed 100,000 people.
The country consists of a Serb-run and a Muslim-Croat entity with joint institutions in a central government. Voters cast ballots for the three-person Bosnian presidency, the Serb president, and the two entities' parliaments and cantonal authorities.
The campaign was marred by divisive rhetoric and allegations of irregularities. Bosnian election officials said several incidents were reported, but that they didn't jeopardize the election.
A nationalist Bosnian Croat candidate seeking re-election to Bosnia's three-member presidency says he hopes the country's election leads to equality for all ethnic groups.
Dragan Covic urged citizens on Sunday to "deliver a clear, new message" that Bosnia should become a place of "absolute constitutional equality."
Bosnia consists of two regions with separate governing bodies, one Serb and the other Muslim-Croat. Covic has called for the creation for a third, Croat-only entity.
He complains his ethnic group is outnumbered by Muslims in their joint region and thus not equally represented in the governing bodies.
Moves by nationalist politicians to carve up Bosnia along ethnic lines sparked the 1992-95 war which killed 100,000 people and left millions homeless.
A pro-unification Bosnian Croat candidate who wants Bosnia to rise above the ethnic partition from the war-era is challenging Covic.
Liberal candidates for Bosnia's three-person presidency have expressed optimism that voters will support pro-European candidates over nationalist leaders seeking to cement ethnic divisions from the country's 1992-95 war.
Opposition Social Democratic Party candidate Denis Becirovic said Sunday he expect voters to opt for a vision of Bosnia as country moving fast toward integration into the European Union and NATO.
Becirovic describes himself as a "confident optimist" when it comes to his bid to win the Muslim seat in Bosnia's three-person joint presidency. The body also has a Serb and a Croat member.
Anti-establishment candidate Borisa Falatar also believes that "change is possible" as he runs for the Croat presidency seat. He tells voters: "We must not miss this chance! Don't give up! Everything is possible."
The pro-Russian leader of Bosnia's Serbs says he expects a "big victory" at Sunday's election, which he said would be in the interests of the Serb mini-state in Bosnia.
Milorad Dodik said Sunday if he is elected to the three-person Bosnian federal presidency that would pave the way for "important tasks" to be carried out for Republika Srpska, the Serb-run part of Bosnia.
Dodik advocates more autonomy and an eventual separation of Serbs from Bosnia, which also has a Muslim-Croat regional government. The two regions were established in the peace accord that ended Bosnia's bloody, divisive 1992-95 war.
Sunday's vote is for all levels of governance.
Dodik, who must leave his position leading the Serb mini-state due to term limits, is a key Balkan ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin. His victory would mean stronger Russian influence in the divided Balkan nation.
A Bosnian Serb opposition candidate for the three-person Bosnian presidency says he's optimistic he will beat hard-line, pro-Russian Serb leader Milorad Dodik in Sunday's election race.
Mladen Ivanic, who currently holds the Serb seat in the joint presidency, said upon casting his ballot Sunday that "I wouldn't run if I didn't believe I could win. Of course I expect victory."
Ivanic is from the opposition Alliance for Victory group, made up of several opposition parties, which hopes to deal a blow to Dodik's long-ruling coalition in the part of Bosnia governed by Serbs.
Up for election are positions in both the Serb-dominated and Muslim-Croat regions. The complex network of institutions stems from the peace accord that ended Bosnia's bloody 1992-95 war.
A leading Muslim candidate for Bosnia's three-person presidency says he is confident of a victory and expects the country to move forward after the election.
Sefik Dzaferovic said upon casting his ballot Sunday "I expect massive support from all citizens of Bosnia-Herzegovina." He says Bosnia needs "stability, economic prosperity and (EU) integration."
He says politicians in Bosnia must start working "as early as tomorrow … to form governments at all levels and begin fulfilling the above-mentioned goals."
Dzaferovic is from the Muslim Party of Democratic Action, or SDA. If he wins, Dzaferovic will replace the party leader Bakir Izetbegovic in the Bosnian presidency that also has a Serb and a Croat member.
Bosnia consists of a Serb regional government and a Muslim-Croat one tied loosely by central institutions, including the presidency.
Bosnians were voting Sunday in a general election that could install a pro-Russian nationalist to a top post and cement the ethnic divisions of a country that faced a brutal war 25 years ago.
The ballot is seen as a test of whether Bosnia will move toward integration in the European Union and NATO or remain entrenched in rivalries stemming from the 1992-95 war.
Some 3.3 million people are eligible to vote for an array of institutions in Bosnia's complex governing system, which was created by a peace accord that ended the war that killed 100,000 people and left millions homeless.
The country consists of a Serb regional government and a similar Muslim-Croat entity joined in a central government. Voters are casting ballots for the three-person Bosnian presidency, the Serb president, and the two entities' parliaments and cantonal authorities.
The main focus is on the race for Bosnia's three-member presidency, because of the candidacy of hard-line Serb President Milorad Dodik, who advocates eventual Serb separation from Bosnia. Dodik is a key Balkan ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin and his victory would mean stronger Russian influence.

Large increases in exports and overseas investment income has narrowed the US current account deficit to the lowest level in 14 years.
The Commerce Department says the imbalance fell to $US81.1 billion ($A89.91 billion) in the fourth quarter, for the period October-December, down from $US96.4 billion in the July-September quarter. That's the smallest gap since the third quarter of 1999.
The rise in goods exports was driven by petroleum and agricultural products.
The current account is the country's broadest measure of trade, covering not only goods and services but also investment flows. A smaller trade deficit usually means that US companies are producing more to meet domestic and overseas demand.
US exports of goods and services rose 1.8 per cent in the fourth quarter from the third, while overseas investment income rose 4.3 per cent.

'Romeo and Juliet' is one of Shakespeare's most famous plays. It begins with two well-known families who are sworn enemies. Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet fall in love, which then ends in the tragedy of their deaths. Romeo's opening soliloquy shows his true feelings towards Juliet.
He begins by delivering a simple metaphor. He describes Juliet as "the sun! " This indicates that Juliet is bright, powerful and radiant. Romeo is enchanted by her beauty. Romeo uses allusions to astronomy by referring to the sun, moon and stars throughout the soliloquy.He continues to use these images as personification. "Arise fair sun, and kill the envious moon. " This is suggesting that Juliet's beauty is powerful enough to destroy the moon – which is jealous of her. "Beyond this world" suggests Juliet's beauty exceeds all that is on earth.
Romeo also talks about his physical longing to be with Juliet. "O that I were a glove upon that hand, that I might touch that cheek. " This illustrates Romeo's sexual desire, further by stating that he longs to touch Juliet, as a glove on her cheek would do.Romeo shows his true, inner feelings for Juliet by asking her to "Be not her maid…cast it off! " This is an imperative statement, as he wants her to liberate herself sexually. This symbolizes that Romeo does not just want to be with Juliet, but wants her to cast off her virginal clothes for him, instead of being Diana's maid.
Overall, the evidence implies that Romeo's physical longing to be with and touch Juliet is very strong. Physical desire as well as strong emotional attachment is another dimension of Romeo's feelings for Juliet.Juliet's monologue begins with her asking, "Wherefore art thou Romeo? " Questioning the meaning of their names. "Deny thy father, and refuse thy name; or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, and I'll no longer be a Capulet. " This suggests that they must sacrifice family relationships to be together. She states that the names of their families represent a conflict, which divides both families, so she would rather give up her family just to be with her beloved Romeo. Juliet tries to justify her feelings and make sense of things by repeatedly asking questions. What's Montague? What's in a name? " Juliet is painfully aware of the implications of a relationship between them, but does not fully understand why two well-known families should hate each other because of their names.
Names represent conflict between the two families. Juliet feels she can only judge Romeo by who he is as an individual, not as part of a family. She continues with, "It is nor hand nor foot nor face nor any other part belonging to a man. " She is saying that body parts make up a person, not a name. That which we call a rose by any other word would smell as sweet…" Juliet uses 'rose' as an example, as it is a romantic symbol, and she believes it would smell just as sweet if it were called something else. The evidence given is very different to Romeo's soliloquy, however, Juliet's physical longing to with Romeo is the same as his for her. Juliet is fully aware of the complications they will have.
She is very pragmatic and cautious about her actions. In this dialogue, the two lovers confront each other about their situation.They realize the problems they would have if they started a relationship. Romeo begins by saying. "My name, dear saint is hateful to myself, because it is an enemy to thee. " This is a religious tribute, showing respect to Juliet as an exemplary human. Romeo knows his name is Juliet's enemy, and therefore he believes it is also his own enemy, as he cannot be with Juliet as long as he has that name. Throughout the dialogue, Romeo shows his negative feelings towards what his name represents.
When Juliet hears these words she appeals to the senses by replying with a simple paradox. My ears have not yet drunk a hundred words of thy tongue's utterance, yet I know the sound. " Juliet is intoxicated by Romeo's voice.
Juliet then completely ignores Romeo and warns him, "The orchard walls are high and hard to climb, And the place death, considering who thou art, if any of my kinsmen find thee here. "Juliet is telling him that if her family finds him here, they will kill him. Romeo continues to go on about his love for Juliet and even ignores her second warning. "Therefore thy kinsmen are no stop to m. If they do see thee, they will murder thee. Romeo is not affected by this and replies. "Alack, there lies more peril in thine eyes; than twenty of their swords! " This indicates that rejection in Romeo's eyes would be more deadly than being killed by twenty swords.
Romeo also personifies his love for Juliet as a force, which gives super human powers; "Love's light wings…For stony limits cannot hold love out. " He clearly states that the high, hard walls cannot hold their love out, so he does not care about them being there. The tone of Romeo and Juliet's dialogue changes a lot throughout the scene.It begins with them discussing their feelings towards the names of each other's enemy, and then ends with Juliet giving warnings to keep Romeo safe. As a reference to 'Death and violence', Shakespeare's use of dramatic irony is significant. Romeo and Juliet move on to talk bout their love and their relationship. They decide they want to declare their love for each other faithfully. Romeo begins by using an elaborate image of travel.
"As that vast shore wash'd with the farthest sea, I would adventure for such merchandise. He would travel the world, just to convince Juliet of his commitment for her. By saying this, Romeo is showing that he is powerful and masculine, and that his strong feelings for her will not go away. Hearing this, Juliet then asks Romeo a direct question. "Dost thou love me? " She is looking for reassurance, so she interrogates Romeo. She knows what his answer will be, but she wants him to say it to he, so she can take his word for it.
"I know thou wilt say 'Ay' and I will take thy word. " Here, Shakespeare is able to show Juliet is less experienced in love and so is quite cautious.She then repeats herself and says, "O gentle Romeo, if thou dost love, pronounce it faithfully. " By now, Juliet is feeling anxious and insecure, so she wants Romeo to do exactly that.
With this, Romeo uses imagery to declare his love for her, by swearing on the moon. "Lady, by yonder blessed moon I vow that tips with silver all these fruit-tree-tops-". Romeo tries to flatter Juliet by saying "Lady by yonder…" The "silver" on the "fruit-tree-tops" symbolizes the shine of the moon on the trees. He is swearing by this, because it sounds beautiful and is flattering.
Juliet does not take too kindly to this and replies, "O swear not by the moon, th'inconstant moon, that monthly changes in her like a circled orb. " She takes the meaning literally and says that the moon changes all the time, but she wants their love to be constant. Changing of their love could be bad, so she does not want it to compare with the moon. Romeo tries to reassure Juliet, but she still seems worried. "It is too rash, too unadvis'd, too sudden; too like the lightening, which doth cease to be. " Juliet is comparing their love to the lightening – that it happened too quickly.She also uses repetition of the word 'too' to convey that everything has taken place 'too' quickly.
Judging by Romeo's determination to be with Juliet, his feelings are very strong and they will never go away. He says he cannot bear the thought of her rejecting him. Juliet more or less feels the same, however she is very cautious and pragmatic, she knows she must take care when it comes to her and Romeo. Romeo and Juliet continue discussing their feelings and he future of their relationship. Romeo is unhappy and needs some reassurance, so he asks Juliet, "O wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied? and Juliet replies, "What satisfaction canst thou have tonight? " Romeo is showing his anxiety for Juliet's love and wants her to tell him that she feels the same way."Th'exchange of thy love's faithful vow for mine. " He is again, trying to reassure Juliet that he loves her too much to let her go.
Juliet then uses a simile to show her generosity. "My bounty is as boundless as the sea, my love as deep, the more I give to thee, The more I have, for both are infinite. " Juliet shows her willingness to give all her love to Romeo and that her love is 'endless' and will keep going on forever.Juliet then hears the nurse calling within, so she tells Romeo; "Sweet Montague, be true, stay but a little, I will come again. " She is reassuring Romeo that she will be back, as they both know that she does not want to leave him at that point. When Juliet leaves for the first time, Romeo becomes afraid that it might all just be a dream, "O blessed, blessed night! I am afeared, being in a night, all this is but a dream, too flattering-sweet to be substantial. " Romeo is shocked, and assumes it is too satisfying and charming to be real.
Juliet then enters and says goodnight again to Romeo.She tells him to send her word tomorrow. "Where and what time thou wilt perform the rite; And all my fortunes at thy foot I'll lay, and follow thee my lord throughout the world. " Juliet says that she will marry him and would go anywhere with him, just to show her commitment. Juliet exits and Romeo goes on to declare his undying love for her. He uses a simile to compare their love; "love goes towards love, as school boys from their books, but love from love, toward school with heavy looks.
" It shows the youth and innocence of children, as Romeo and Juliet are desperate to be together.This simile means that in the same way, schoolboys are desperate to leave school; Romeo and Juliet are also desperate to be together. When apart, they share the misery of schoolboys having to go to school. Romeo and Juliet appeal to sound and taste, when chatting softly about love. Romeo uses a sensuous simile to express his feelings; "how silver-sweet sound lovers' tongues by night, like softest music to attending ears! " 'Sweet' is referring to the delicious taste, and 'silver' would be described as, precious and expensive.
Juliet decides she wants possession of Romeo and does not want to let him go, she says, "I would have thee gone; and yet no farther that a wanton's bird…" Juliet describes her feelings towards Romeo as; "loving-jealous. " This is a paradox, which shows her intense desire and the conflict of her feelings. Even though she loves him so much, she is jealous of him going away and not coming back. But, so he does not do that, Juliet wants to make sure she has complete control to keep him close to her. She continues with her strong feelings. "Yet I should kill thee with much cherishing.
This dramatic irony is showing the strength of their love, which sadly results in their death. This is ironic, as it becomes true. After repeatedly saying 'Good night' to Romeo, Juliet believes parting to be such "sweet sorrow.
" This is an oxymoron, showing conflict issues between the two families, yet it is appealing. Overall, the feelings that the two lovers share are quite similar, however, Juliet uses jealousy and conflict as paradoxes, but, linked up with love and hope. In conclusion to the powerful feelings shared between Romeo and Juliet, the language used shows a great effect upon their hopeful relationship and future together.Shakespeare incorporates a range of literary and linguistic features such as, simple metaphors and similes and paradoxes and oxymoron's used by Juliet, especially towards the end of the scene. Juliet's speeches involved sources of conflict and "sweet sorrow", also towards to the end of the scene. Shakespeare uses this scene to establish their characters as the ways in which they respond to their love for each other, reveals their personalities. Images of violence relate to the conflict Romeo and Juliet both feel because of their families.
They do not understand why two families should quarrel because of their enemy's name or existence. There is also dramatic irony, as they both die because of their love. Shakespeare portrays religious references, which imply that their love is wholesome and they are committed to each other. Astronomical and natural imagery is used to signify their love is outside the everyday human experience of love. By describing Juliet as "the sun", Romeo is indicating that she is powerful and bright. Romeo also refers to the moon by suggesting that Juliet should "Arise" and "kill the envious moon".
This is a use of personification.

A Terrible Way to End a Life-Part 3
Breathing the clean earth from atop a picnic table near the western parking garage, Lizzie recalls the card from Ms. Holloway. Written within are a series of numbers connected by dashes, two groups of three, one four, and a single word: NEMSES.
Seemingly nonsense, Lizzie is tempted to watch the card swirl down a nearby drain, another empty promise of friendship washing away false hopes. Instead she finds herself pocketing it and hopping down, landing silently with the non-existent crunch of malleable mulch and rubber soles.
Anthony and Alicia are having a bad day. For most people, a bad day would involve spilt milk, a failed test, or even a broken heart. For Anthony and Alicia, a bad day is much, much worse.
Imagine the worst moment of a hopeless life, a seemingly endless spiral of desperate clingings. This is not that bad. It is, however, the beginning of a terrible end.
Alicia lost her mother to a Hermes in Bangkok a month ago. Massage students found his broken body between the toes of a great golden Buddha soon after. The emptiness filling the moments between the silence of her mind and that of her formerly shared and messy apartment has only just begun to sink in.
Alicia duct-tapes the last of the boxes, each one bruised and crumbling in their corners. "What does this make, mum, twenty or twenty-three times?", she calls to no one in particular as she wipes the sheen of dusty sweat from her tan brow. Even so, everything feels just a little bit colder. Realizing the window is open, Alicia does nothing. She does not have to for very long.
The birds seem slow tonight, laden with a heavy burden once more. For a moment, she ponders the safety of an unknown father but brushes it away quickly as they reach the ledge. A pelican, three starlings, two doves, one mockingbird, and the rare American temperate penguin lay scattered on her kitchenette floor and counter. "You know, guys, I may not know who sends you, but you should strike", she leaves a previously prepared bowl of water, berries, and granola in the center of the tile, "You always seem exhausted and underfed." The penguin, Franki, she had chosen to call him, waddles the bowl off to the side. "What? Do you suddenly not like my food? Well, I am sorry. I'm new to the whole cooking scene." Franki the temperate penguin shakes its head solemnly, seeming to look at each bird in turn as they slowly gather around their recently evolved leader.
Alicia palms her face as, in unison, the ungrateful and unapologetic birds vomit on her floor and leave the way they came.
An hour later, Alicia wonders if birds just might be the most intelligently conniving creatures on earth as she looks at the nearly finished crystal pyramid in her palm, pieced together from their unconventional delivery. Putting the thought of the missing capstone aside, Alicia focuses her attention on identifying the black elongated bird engraved in the base. "Definitely a hawk", she mutters and goes to bed, dreaming of final messages and birds with too big eyes.
Anthony lost his identity this morning.
A wet wind whistles through pines and between concrete monoliths as Lizzie stumbles through the storm.
Each step slaps unintentionally sharp against the holey metal stairs as she makes her way to the fifth floor. The sky trickles now, spent. Apartment number 576 pulses in tune to the latest house music, soothingly festive but not to her ears. Three knocks rap. One knock heard. A shuffling within and a sticky pop as the door strains against its rusted chain. "Oh heyyyy, Liz. Why are you back? I thought you were supposed to be at the library with Jack until midnight for that test tomorrow."
Two blank blinks given. "He didn't show. I suppose that your boyfriend doesn't have the same respect for my time as you do." The subtly disheveled woman peeking through the door shakes her head. "Well I'm sorry about that, sweetie, but, you see, I made plans for tonight since you said you'd be out. Can't you just find something else to do for a little while until we're done?" Lizzie leans against the entryway, in part to catch her breath, but mostly to see who else is in their apartment. Something flickers on the edge of her vision, something that chills what the storm left dry, but it remains only a vision as the woman in the door leans out. Nothing and no one of importance is seen.
Realizing that no more can be accomplished with her fast fading willpower, Lizzie sighs. "Alright, Carol. I'll be back by nine. Make sure he is gone by then. And for goodness' sake, turn the coffee pot off or you will burn the place down, again." Carol rushes forward, embracing her soggy friend. "You're the best, Liz! I'll see you at midnight."
One lightning retreat.
One heavy wooden squish.
One million regrets, boiling beneath a murky but serene ocean of self-doubt.
Lizzie sighs at her coffee despondently as the cafe door slams shut, followed by her phone on a darkly polished table near the back. She knew what would happen, predicted it to him, and asked that the whole matter be resolved hours ago with a simple no but she could never say no to him. "You're the best at matrices, Liz. I need you. Nothing can keep me from studying with you tonight.", his promises now as hollow as the cup within her hands. A group of athletes stroll through the aisle towards the cashier's line, laughing and hanging on to each others shoulders, discussing the latest victory. They look so open, so free. It is late.
As Lizzie reaches for the dinged phone in preparation for her walk back home, one of the more boisterous women breaks away from the waiting group and plops herself down in the chair before Lizzie. "Why so glum? Is it because it's raining? Rain is such a downer sometimes. I remember my cousin telling me one time, she's a Psych major, you know, about how some people get super sad just because it's raining and it's not even their fault. It's like emotional allergies or something. Anyway, my name's Britney Holloway.", she bubbles. Lizzie turns her head towards the water, pouring like a hose from heaven against the window. "Seasonal depression? No, that isn't me, at least I don't think it is. I've always liked the rain. It makes everything new again." A brief but comfortable pause settles through the atmosphere between the two women, only to be jarred by the friendly hoots of a pleasantly impatient group. "You should go, Miss Holloway. I am certain you have better things to do. Thank you for talking with me."
A look of tearing decision crosses Britney's perfectly smooth face, her blond curls bouncing slightly as she turns away, then back again to press a business card into Lizzie's soft palm. "Listen. I know this'll sound weird, but I promise it'll make sense sooner or later. When it does, give us a call."
Lizzie quietly pockets the card without a glance.
Life Update: Excuses excuses excuses...
I finally get the guts to start this project, only for things to fall apart with home, my school, my head. Don't really feel like giving details to random strangers on the internet; just wanted to assure that no matter what, I am not abandoning this. Stories are the only thing that feels right, that feels real to me right now. The good kind of real. ^^^ how gramatically strange is that sentence there?
So You Like Me?
Why the professor loves having the fireplace on during lecture I will never understand. The school is in the middle of a desert. I know fire is my element but still...why does the room have a fireplace at all? I stare out the lone basement window into the night, mostly void sprinkled with the odd dying star. I think there might be more but a coyote moon is swollen over the horizon. Tendrils of boredom sneak through my ears like mental floss, letting an indifferent fog roll in through my mind as through the sandwastes beyond.
"Ramadhake? We all need an equal chance to fail," a voice behind me whispers. As I look down, my stomach plunges and burns in a steaming heap on the scuffy carpet. "Nope. Nope nope nope." I can't take another second of this; I've been sitting on my back all day and I can't take it anymore. I toss the stack of pop quizzes at the boy behind me and grab my phone, whispering vague nonsenses into it. "I'm quite sorry, Miss Sumed. I'm afraid a family emergency has come up and it simply can't wait." The frail woman glares down her silver frames with a stare that could wither a newborn soul. "Again...Really, Ramadhake. It had better be good. Has his horse died of thirst in the scrublands again? Or has he finally struck gold and wishes to share his good fortune?" "Hey! Bucky was very near and dear to us. She was family." Sheesh. Some would never guess that such warm coffee eyes could hide such a cold cruel heart. "Something you appear to be running short on these days, is it not? Whatever it is...I will be confirming it with your uncle as soon as possible. You are excused."
I skip up the steps to the tune of Jahr's number. *Beep* "Hey. Class ended a few minutes early. Need a pick-me-up pronto or I'll run the whole way. See you soon."
Approximately Two Hours and Forty-Five Minutes Later
"I'm tired!" *clomp clomp*
"I'm hungry!" *clomp clomp*
"I'm done," and slam the silo door behind me.
Metallic clanging echoes through from the lower levels. He's been absorbed, I'm afraid. Gone forever in the excitement of the latest project-that'll-change-everything-I-so-solemnly-swear. "Just ten more levels to go, Rama. Ten more levels and then you can choke him."
I pause. Who needs stairs when you can do the electric slide?
"I always knew I was smokin, but this is ridiculous," I shake my head at the new breeze in my pants, courtesy of my stupidity and the old silo chute. "Simple matter of friction, honey. Oh, Friction, the sly devil we all need to keep a handle on things." He hums a bit, welding something I can't quite see. "I'm glad you came by. Could you fetch me my bernzomatic, please?" "Uncle?", I bounce on my feet in front of him, "Oh, Uncle??? I believe you are forgetting something." "Hmmm?", he smiles absently behind his owlish goggles. He turns the flame down, removing his gloves and covering me with the smell of burnt steel as he spins me around. "Oh, yes. How was your day at school, my dear?" I breathe deep, ready to give him hell for forgetting about me again. But I can't do it, so it all comes out in an anti-climactic whoosh. "It was fine. Annoying as ever. Do you got any food?" His absent smile burns to a full-on grin as he opens the fridge. "Indeed I do!" He pulls out the largest green bean casserole I have ever seen. Topped with scallop potatoes and..."Is that pepper bacon?! Gods, it's been too long." He scratches his head quizzically. "I'm glad you like it, but I could have sworn I had taken it out of the furnace just a minute ago..." I take the glass pan gingerly from him and clear off a space near the sunlamps. "Taken what out of the furnace? You know I like my beans stone cold." The old man's losing it. "No, no, not the beans. Your surprise...." His face slackens in realization. "To the furnace!!!" And he's off... "Don't mind if I do," I whisper to no one in particular as I scoop up a slice of cheesy green goodness the size of a book.
One Casserole Later
Jahr trudges in after I'm satisfied, the smoking remnants of a burnt lab coat trailing on the concrete. "I would'ave saved you a slice but I was hungry. Want me to make you something? I see the furnace is still chugging." "No, no, that's alright, sweetie. And the furnace is going full power, I'm afraid," he sighs looking down at a black misshapen piece of porcelain. He places it gingerly next to the upset tomato plants. "I am so sorry," his voice quivers. "I am...a terrible guardian. I cannot be responsible for protecting a birthday souffle, much less a teenage girl." "Aw no, Uncle. Don't say that. I learn so much from you." He turns towards me, eyes redder than the tomatoes. "I forgot you at school again, didn't I?" I put my feet up on the table and lean back, closing my eyes. "Naw. It's cool. Your projects are amazing. I needed the exercise anyway." The next thing I know is hands wrapping around my shoulders and a weight upon my head. "I shall do better, my Phula. I so solemnly swear. You are more important to me than any project, because I know you most certainly will change the world. You changed mine." "Um...ok. I'm gonna go wash the dishes now..." I extricate myself from the situation as fast as elementally possible.
Approximately Six Hours Later
I wake with a start, burning in the winter cold. Thorny brambles tear at my naked body as I make my way back to the silo, though the spots of snow feels nicer than any bed ever could. "It's getting worse," I mutter. One of these days someone will catch me and I won't have any explanation for it. Sleepwalking is a nightmare that leaks into the physical realm.
I sneak back clean and smooth, though it isn't hard with Jahr passed out over his latest schematics. Some sort of breathing apparatus, he had said, though why would one need a breathing device here? The air is pure, and we have no lakes above ground. His snores cover the soft squeaks my footsteps make, and the heat of my skin steams any residual ice that clings to me. Sometimes it pays to be fire.
The room is bare, but nice. Though Jahr was not the first in my father's guardianship line because of his oddities, he is the first that seems to care. I've only been here a few days, but he has welcomed me with open arms since the beginning. Unfortunately it is the same school for the entire area, so I can't blame him for making me go. I think I'll keep him. Flopping onto the bed, I am alone with my thoughts for the first time since the accident. Closing my eyes, I can't help but remember how it felt when the flames first roared: terror, pain, regret...and glee. They consumed us all. My body just doesn't have the decency to show it, to let me go.
(A/N: More stuff here, don't want to spoil, so just a snippet.)
"So you like me now hmmm?"
His voice makes me shiver. Not the frost, not the metal, not the corpses floating past the window. It's his voice that cuts through the fire that's been keeping me alive so long. I put my hand against the glass, against him, as a familiar face stops to float beside. The boy hasn't aged a day. "How can you be here? You burned with Maman." I grab a soda bottle from the van floor and smash it against the window, waiting for the cracks to take me. "Bahana, no! I only wished to say goodb...", his voice trails away into the currents, along with his head.
Intermission-Meeting Elise
(A/N: Rough snapshots of the beginning of a dream.)
It woke me in the night, a slight exhalation of foul air above me. The gentle scrape of enamel against my skin. As quickly as I turned, it was gone. A receding shadow among layered multitudes cast off from the gas lamp in front of my window. Another dream, I swear. This new house is getting to me, or my mind is getting to it. The place is too damned massive, too empty for its grandeur. It's not just the house, it's the town as well. Smiling faces, vapid, everywhere you turn. They love me, yet I am alone.
Tapping against the grimy window, a pale hand is followed by a ragged head in a torn white chemise. "Let me out", she croaks. I was exploring the sheds along the woodline. Work was slow at the fruit stand today, and by slow I mean nonexistent. Perhaps this will change my luck? I may have found my first friend. "Well? I'm waiting." I stumble forward and heave against the rusted hinges, falling hard with the door upon me in a cloud of dust. She tests the threshold, looks at me, and lunges for the cold shelter of the trees. "Thanks!" Sigh. I'm going to be late.
Riad chuckles as he plucks an errant twig from my hair. My face is on fire. "Come on. Since you're new, let me be the one to introduce you to our little carnival. Where would you like to start?" I toss between the ring of fire and the ring toss but the one reeks of sweated vomit and the other's line is down the walk. "The mirror hause?" He bows, graciously mocking. "Just try not to lose me."
I spin rapidly in what I think to be the center of the maze, giddy in the symmetry of this new-found world. I think I enjoy being lost. There is a wonderful liberty when you know you are completely alone. I blush ever harder as someone laughs behind me. "Is that why you were so close to the woods?" She's in black jeans and an emerald tee now. I must have spoken aloud. "I didn't see you there. I see everything in here." She ignores me, dodging between mirror panes. "Why did you run from me? Who trapped you there?" She runs faster and faster, creating a whirlwind, her midnight hair whipping in a long black streak. I fall to my knees, choking on the lack of air. As quickly as it came it went, and she is before me concerned. "Sorry. I wanted to see if I still could." Still coughing, I glare. "Why are you here? I help and you hurt. What do you want of me?" "I wanted to say thanks, properly. Didn't mean to leave you in a rush. I was a bit out of sorts, you see. Name's Elise." I take her outstretched hand. "Waterson, Cami. Moved here last week. I too am out of sorts. That's why I was talking to myself. I'm not weird or anything." Ugh. The mirrors may be pristine but the dust-caked ground did horrors to my new jeans. I cannot go around greeting people in dirty clothes. "Don't worry about it, love. You weren't speakin aloud. Anyway...I'll see you around? Get you a coffee or something." "Oh...alright." Wait a second...what? But she's gone and I can hear Riad calling for me to the northeast. I suppose later it shall have to be.
I feel Riad's gaze on the nape of my neck, like an unfocused laser. I refuse to look at him as we walk back to my father's house. "You ditched me as soon as we entered. I thought you said you wanted to have some fun?" He pulls my back against him and takes us to the side. In the shadow of the courthouse parking lot against the cooling bricks, I only see the gleam of his grin, knife-sharp cheeks, and deep pockets where his eyes should be. His ragged breath sets me on edge. "Riad...don't screw with me. I am not afraid of hurting you." And he lets me go. "You think I'm capable of hurting you?" His tone is offended, but whether mocking or hurt I cannot tell. His dark face is ever darker in silhouette. "I may like you, but I do not trust easily. We just met yesterday! I don't know you." I wrench myself from him. He sighs, playing the wounded card. "Not yet, but you will." Let's see...east, Bluff road. "I think I can walk myself home now. Goodnight, Riad." "It isn't safe at night!", he calls after. Hm...I think I like running too. It brings a sense of mindless clarity.
"I'm hoooome!" Echo...Echo...Echo... "Hi, how was your night, Camilia? Oh, it was good, Papi. Thanks for asking. How was the dinner with Martha at the Botanical Garden? It was fantastic. I'm sorry I obeyed my wife's iron fist and didn't let you come but I'll make it up to you. How about we go skating tomorrow? The whole afternoon, just me and you, like we used to..." I lay my head against the glass' cool surface. This is a pointless exercise. *DING-DONG* I take the shortcut past the pool outside, through the zoo hedges, and tackle her into the bushes before Martha opens the door. "Elise!! It's the middle of the night. What on earth are you doing here?", I hiss. A muffled gurgle is my only response. Martha slams the door with a grumbled, "Pranksters in this neighborhood at this godforsaken hour..." I slowly remove my hand from over her mouth and stand gingerly. I did not notice, but a part of me is wet and burning. "I told you I was bringin coffee." She points to the spilled tray of espresso, cream, and croissants. "Figured you could use a girl's night after what that asshole tried to do. Is there something wrong with the doorway?" "No. Nothing's wrong with it, just its keeper. Let's continue this in my room, before your coffee permanently sears my crotch."
(A/N: nighty night. Test study time tomorrow. Calc two and multi dimen. Wish me luck? Or don't. It's cool. )

A short chapter, which concludes the book.
The long absence of the uncle and nephew had occasioned some disquiet in the minds of all whom they had left behind them; and the more, as, during the preceding dialogue, the uncle had more than once elevated his voice, so as to be heard downstairs; which, though they could not distinguish what he said, had caused some evil foreboding in Nancy and her mother, and, indeed, even in Jones himself.
When the good company, therefore, again assembled, there was a visible alteration in all their faces; and the good-humour which, at their last meeting, universally shone forth in every countenance, was now changed into a much less agreeable aspect. It was a change, indeed, common enough to the weather in this climate, from sunshine to clouds, from June to December.
This alteration was not, however, greatly remarked by any present; for as they were all now endeavouring to conceal their own thoughts, and to act a part, they became all too busily engaged in the scene to be spectators of it. Thus neither the uncle nor nephew saw any symptoms of suspicion in the mother or daughter; nor did the mother or daughter remark the overacted complacence of the old man, nor the counterfeit satisfaction which grinned in the features of the young one.
Something like this, I believe, frequently happens, where the whole attention of two friends being engaged in the part which each is to act, in order to impose on the other, neither sees nor suspects the arts practised against himself; and thus the thrust of both (to borrow no improper metaphor on the occasion) alike takes place.
From the same reason it is no unusual thing for both parties to be overreached in a bargain, though the one must be always the greater loser; as was he who sold a blind horse, and received a bad note in payment.
Our company in about half an hour broke up, and the uncle carried off his nephew; but not before the latter had assured Miss Nancy, in a whisper, that he would attend her early in the morning, and fulfil all his engagements.
Jones, who was the least concerned in this scene, saw the most. He did indeed suspect the very fact; for, besides observing the great alteration in the behaviour of the uncle, the distance he assumed, and his overstrained civility to Miss Nancy; the carrying off a bridegroom from his bride at that time of night was so extraordinary a proceeding that it could be accounted for only by imagining that young Nightingale had revealed the whole truth, which the apparent openness of his temper, and his being flustered with liquor, made too probable.
While he was reasoning with himself, whether he should acquaint these poor people with his suspicion, the maid of the house informed him that a gentlewoman desired to speak with him.----He went immediately out, and, taking the candle from the maid, ushered his visitant upstairs, who, in the person of Mrs Honour, acquainted him with such dreadful news concerning his Sophia, that he immediately lost all consideration for every other person; and his whole stock of compassion was entirely swallowed up in reflections on his own misery, and on that of his unfortunate angel.
What this dreadful matter was, the reader will be informed, after we have first related the many preceding steps which produced it, and those will be the subject of the following book.

It is a regular Promaster harmonica with valves. Valves give you extra blow bend notes from hole 1 to 6 and extra draw bend notes from hole 7 to 10. The drawback is that no overblow is possible because the valve block the option so it is a choice to make between bends and overblows.
Available in 14 keys: C G A D E F Bb B F# Eb Ab Db Hi G and Low F.
Unique And Innovative Suzuki Valved Harmonicas Feature Precision Crafted Reed Plates For Easy Note Bending.


In order to ensure the privacy of our customers, we ship intimately for each customer, and the product packaging does not have any logo.
The basic shipping is High Elastic Cotton 80C cup breast form ,Foam filling has been eliminated by us.

1: Regarding the injection hole and the vent hole.
Since the product is made of artificial potting, there are plastic injection holes and vent holes on the product and the cut surface is not a product quality problem.
2: About color chromatic aberration.
Product coloring has a direct influence on temperature, raw materials and pigments. Therefore, in the process of color production, different batches of raw materials and pigments will have a certain color difference. It is impossible to match your skin color 100%. We will only control the color difference to the minimum possible. This is an uncontrollable factor under current conditions.
