Is it okay with you that I walk you through a few highs and lows of this Cre8 journey, just letting my fingers type without much thought to writing style, format, or anything proper? I suppose if you keep on reading, then it is okay. Therefore, I will type.
Then keeps asking for more.
Inspirational words like these ring true and motivate us to do something with them, but they really need to be spoken along with a severe warning signal. You see, if you actually decide to live that way, you cannot think that it will fit neatly into your already-existing schedule, succeed on the first try, or rapidly change the "one" that you are trying to help. Reality Alert: you will have to give beyond the moment, stick with that person who will push you away only to return whilst hitting another rock-bottom. You will get messy, and your sacrificial love will not only be questioned by the ones you are giving it to; it will be judged by those who are watching you.
Nope. We don't realize those aspects when we retweet the quotes or hear the message in a neatly packed gathering of safe believers.
At that time, we were finding ourselves spending time with homosexuals or with alcoholic, divorced, fear-ridden, "hurting-to-the-very-maxxed-out-extreme," falling-apart people. It was NOT a time for casting judgement or pointing fingers, and we had to trust that Love and the Word was enough, and that listening, offering meals, visiting hospitals, or offering transportation was doing something—something more than words, and more than we could see. All of Life begins in the invisible, right? We couldn't quit. But oh how badly we wanted to.
A man told Mike that he is a bad leader. And do you know what those words did to us? They sent us to our knees. Not in a fake, "Look at that selfish pious couple trying to appear humble" kind of way. No. It was with sobbing remorse and sobering repentant communications with God, "Please Lord, show us how to Love. Show us the power of forgiveness" ("us" being this entire group of struggling people, but beginning with my husband, and me). Mike has been writing his ministry thoughts into a document called, Name on the Front of the Building for a couple of years now, and the spring season sent him to begin contacting a few leaders from his past that we had been hurt by or that we had judged, in order to begin a wave of forgiveness. The results were amazing. God is like that. God is Love. And Love is powerful.
As spring blossomed into summer, every day was a mixture of overcoming hearsay and welcoming new people into our lives with hope and purpose. Does that very combination make you tired? It. was. exhausting. The next months were spent donating money to needy families, sitting with a person after a suicide attempt, carrying a drunkard who could not walk on his own legs out of a bar safely to his home, praying with a couple who was giving up on their marriage, and more. So much more. The calls kept coming. And the reality of Love was a daily exercise—one that we could choose to walk into, or ignore.
People who have been told to leave their long-time church fellowships (sad, but true) have somehow found their way here to gather with us, hopefully feeling like they really do matter. Men and women have been reading their bibles for the first time individually, together, and with their children … to discover for themselves what it is like to open the Word and feast on DAILY Bread. Mike refuses to allow people to think that getting together to hear someone else speak is enough. It is never enough. Daily Jesus is what people need, so those families that have taken family challenges, seeking answers to questions that they are taking time to ask each other — those families who have decided to take their spiritual growth out of a service and live it inside the home — have grown by leaps and bounds!
There are so many fantastic stories!!! This place has been a home for singles to gather for Friday Night worship nights, for women's self defense classes, health and wellness awareness events, and more. Several families have begun to eat better, lose weight, and teach their children the art and joy of eating unprocessed foods (and this has just happened organically, seeming quite symbolic of the detoxification processes out of other programmed and pressure-filled areas, I guess).
Under the power of being loved by people, alongside the loving conviction from the Word itself, one young couple decided to postpone their engagement, stop living together, and begin their relationship anew, now meeting for premarital counseling, wanting to grow individually in Christ in order to better serve each other and build an intentional marriage that will last.
We have had requests for farming, gardening, and for people to offer classes on agriculture or square-foot gardening to both the English and Spanish speaking local communities. We dream of becoming a Storehouse.
There are many many signs of life here, much like invisible seeds that need to be put into the soil soon. However, Mike and I are so much smaller than the vision, and it will take many hands, and much provision to grow all that is possible within this community.
One odd thing for me is the usage of the word "church." We are trying to make it impeccably clear that the PEOPLE are the Church and that it is not a gathering place with a style or activity attached to it. I understand that people are so used to saying, "I love my church," or "You should come to my church." But I look forward to a day when people just create church by walking in it in daily life, rather than by attaching a cultural system to it. We aren't unattached to other Jesus followers around the world. We all grow from ONE vine. We must BE and become people of God, with similar fruit. There is no need for competition. Church cannot be another thing that people want to "see" via flashy programming… rather, it is something invisible, made visible in people, by active Love.
A few weeks ago I was brokenhearted for a young girl who wanted to have a very special 13th birthday party. Her friends were all too busy, and she was contemplating the cancellation of her party. We ended up secretly contacting Cre8 Families and having the party here for her. She wanted a Halloween themed party, so I just turned it into a "Face Your Fears" party. We all pitched in for a gift card surprise, and she ended up having her three friends walk into Cre8Home to find twenty-eight people of all ages ready to celebrate her life. Mike wrote a "Top 10 Fears of Becoming A Teenage Girl" list, we had a campfire, a scavenger hunt, and other fear-facing games. A woman from our group who has a scrap-booking business brought enough supplies for everyone to make a bookmark that read, "Fear is NOT a Factor for me!" Another woman made a heart-shaped cake that read, "Perfect Love casts out fear." It was a beautiful night all the way around!
My mom has listened to our stories over these past eight months. One day she said to me, "Ami, you and Mike have been doing this ministry ever since you were married." And I know she's right. We have always had a home that is a revolving door of loving people where they are at, letting them know they matter. In trying to grow this outside of our own home, though, it has been quite a challenge.
1) Love your neighbor might just mean LOVE your NEIGHBOR. Think about that. We have had families actually say to us that they would serve in a soup kitchen and then leave, feeling empty, like they had done a good deed, but one that just wasn't enough. Now, they have identified three specific neighbors, are getting to know and serve them, and God is using them in their apartment complex in such deep and unique ways—hard, though, as it is.
2) It always goes back to the HOME. Home is YOU (you are a temple of God), and HOME is your family. When homes are healthy, a community strengthens. So in any external pursuit, examine your home first. Put your best energy there, and miraculous things happen. You are not meant to go out and find your fulfillment in ministry pursuits while ignoring your home. Period.
4) Active Love is not rocket science. I actually think that rocket science might be easier!?! Active Love is SIMPLE, but it is hard. Active Love is something meant for everyone (that is, if you are able to examine the warning signals and become willingly messy anyway). Once you have been Actively Loved, the response is to pass it along to someone else who needs it.
Yeah, I suppose we are intense. But at the same time, I read true stories about a man who lived to the letter of the law, persecuted Christians, then met Jesus along a road. From that moment forward, he considered his trials, shipwrecks, famine, beatings, and sufferings sheer JOY for the sake of sharing this Jesus whom he had met along that road—Who changed his life with resurrection power and gave him a new name, a new identity in which to BE and Become—with others. In light of a life like Paul… or John, James or Peter… are we really intense? I think not! However, if I have met Jesus, then why wouldn't I be? Don't I want others who directly surround me to know of His intense, sacrificial Love? His passionate pursuit? That they are not invisible and when captured by this real Love, they can know the power of pure Forgiveness?
People who feel invisible keep finding this property. We have not even made an entrance sign yet. No outdoor clean up, no advertising. I often feel as though the real ministry that is happening, the good stuff that is actually changing lives, is invisible. And when needy people are being served, the payback does not come in funding; it appears to this world (and to the landowners), invisible. So today in our desire to see invisible people know that they matter, I am hoping and praying that Our Immortal, Invisible God, Only Wise, will keep moving us forward in visible and tangible ways, and continue to make His Life known to those who desperately need Him. We don't want to quit. Normal is tempting, but I don't think we'd be very good at it.
Raw, beautiful, and amazing . . . so much truth and heart. God is working. He is far from finished. Love you.
Love you too, Crystal! Thank you for walking this road together. Your family means so much to ours.
In light inexpressible hid from our eyes.
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days.
Almighty, victorious, they great name we praise!
He may be invisible sometimes and hidden sometimes, but He is always also almighty and victorious! Praying that you'll see all facets of Him in His glory today and that He'll be so real and NEAR that you can't contain your joy. Please, PLEASE don't ever be normal 🙂 Love you!
Almighty, victorious, Thy Great Name we praise! Oh, Shannon, if you could see how His Great Name has been raised every weekend here… no matter what happens, you and Jeff and the family MUST come and lead worship with these beautiful families!!!! How refreshing that would be.
Every once in a while, I pop in here to see what God is doing in your lives. I'm always inspired to see you living out your dream in spite of the challenges–emotionally, physically, spiritually, financially–always pointing people to the One True God. It seems like God is always pushing us out of our comfort zones, shaking up our perceptions, and stretching us to discover new aspects of who HE is and who HE wants us to be for Him.
Laura! Your words are exceptionally timely!


Executed a buy/write on 300 shares of NITE with a net debit of $14.53. If called away on February 20th I will have a ROIC of 3.1%. My uncalled ROIC will be 4.47%.
When I first started my blog I spent considerable time and effort on expiration weekend identifying, evaluating, and presenting potential trades. In addition when I executed a trade I was verbose in explaining each of my trades, how I went about selecting them, and why I liked them. However, as time went on my posts became more matter of fact. I simply presented the parameters behind my trade and at most a little commentary on why I liked it. Well, with this post I am returning to my roots so to speak. This post will give a detailed explanation of what I look for in a potential trade and how I go about conducting my due diligence. So, let's get started.
As you can see my initial search criteria casts a fairly wide net. However, when I get down to finally selecting my trades my criteria are very specific. Let's look at my first pass criteria a little closer. You'll notice I choose to not look at any stocks trading for < $10. There are a couple of reasons for this. First, stocks trading for < $10 probably are that price for a reason. But more importantly, unless the stock has options that trade in $1 increments, it is very hard to create a favorable trade in this price range. For example, say a stock is trading at $8.75. The two strike prices available to you are $7.5 and $10. If you choose the ITM $7.50 more than likely your called return will be very small. On the other hand if you choose the $10 strike the stock has to go up by over 14% before you have a chance at being called away. In addition, the premium will likely be very small thus making for an unacceptable uncalled return.
You'll notice I didn't specify a maximum stock price in my search criteria. I don't want to limit Scout in this regard. However, it is rare that I'll do a trade where the stock price exceeds $50. This is because I want to avoid trading single contracts. Rather, I want to trade stocks where I can initially write a minimum of two contracts, three is even better. Thus, my stock price sweet spot is $15 – $30. However, I will go as low as $10 and as high as $50. The reason behind these limits is the overall size of my position. I like to keep my initial entry into a stock at < $5K and my overall position size at < $10-12K.
The three other search criteria I focus on are market capitalization, trading volume, and bare cash. I avoid trading small cap stocks, which I define as those with a market cap < $1B. Why? Quite simply because they tend to be more volatile and it is quite easy to have a good trade head south on you in a hurry. I also look at trading volume. Adequate trading volume means liquidity. If something happens that changes my perspective on a trade I want to be able to get out fairly quickly. This isn't always possible with low volume stocks. Last but far from least, I look at bare cash. This, in my opinion, is one of the most important criteria. Bare cash simply means the company has more cash than debt on its balance sheet. This lets me sleep at night by knowing that if the trade goes against me I'm invested in a company that has cash available to weather the storm and is in no danger of declaring bankruptcy anytime soon.
OK, so there you have the basic rationale behind my initial search criteria. Now, let's look at what my search criteria found this week and in so doing we'll also look at my second, more stringent set of selection criteria. Below is the Scout report generated by VISIONS using the above screening criteria on the afternoon of Saturday, January 16th.
The first and most important thing to realize is that you can't take the title of the "Scout Stocks to Buy Report" literally. Not all of the stocks presented by Scout are suitable for entering a trade. Further filtering, analysis, and due diligence is required. To assist us in this process I've color coded the criteria I focus on. Red is unacceptable, yellow is tolerable, and green is good. For the most part, green values match the criteria Ron Groenke uses in his selection methodology.
The first criteria I use to filter potential trades is the TAI. I only want to look at trades with TAI = TA. As you can see of the 10 stocks returned by Scout only 4 meet this criteria. They are APOL, NITE, ESI, and FSLR. Note, of late stocks rated TA have been few and far between. The 9 month run-up in prices since the March '09 lows severely limited the number of stocks meeting Ron's criteria.
Next up is the Gold$ score. Like Ron, I look for stocks with a Gold$ score > 80. Two of the three variables used to calculate the Gold$ can also be found in the Scout report. They are the number of consectutive up days and the number of days the stock has traded in the V. The third variable is best evaluated by looking at the VISIONS stock chart. We'll be looking at those shortly. As you can see of the four stocks which passed our first screen only 2 have a Gold$ > 80. ESI's Gold$ Score is 70, while FSLR has a Gold$ of only 38. You'll also notice ESI's closing stock price on Friday, $99.96, exceeds Ron's buy limit (BL) of $97.18. For these reasons I would eliminate ESI from further consideration. Thus, after looking at two criteria, TAI and Gold$ we are left with two candidates, APOL and NITE.
Let's look at the remaining criteria on the spreadsheet to determine if one or the other clearly is a better pick than the other. APOL has a perfect Gold$ score of 100 while NITE is right behind it with a 90. How about Bare Cash? Well, both have a goodly amount of bare cash. However, what I like to do is look at the amount of bare cash as a percentage of the stock's market capitalization. NITE is the clear winner in this category as the bulk of its market cap. is in cash. Conversely, APOL has < 10% of its market cap in cash. The two stocks are tied in the remaining criteria, Best Fit and Quarterly Earnings.
So let's move on to the stock charts and see what they can tell us. But before we do I first want to discuss the price of APOL. You'll recall earlier I said that I don't like to trade stocks whose price is > $50. However, in this case I'm willing to make an exception. Why, simply because we don't have a wide variety of stocks to choose from. With only two stocks meeting our other criteria I'm not going to eliminate one just because it is > $50, especially when it has a Gold$ of 100. Now, on to the stock charts.
This is a very good looking chart. Of course, with a Gold$ of 100, I really didn't think it would look bad. Before making a final decision we might want to determine what caused the huge sell-off in at the beginning of November. I suspect it is disappointing 3rd quarter earnings but we'll look it up and confirm.
Let's move on and look at our other candidate, NITE.
As you can see the chart for NITE is very similar to that of APOL. Like APOL, NITE experienced a significant drop a couple of months ago. And, again like APOL it has carved out a bottom and is beginning to move back up.
OK, so looking at the charts didn't give us a clear winner. Let's move on and look at some of the Key Statistics tracked by Yahoo. I've recorded these in a spreadsheet along with the stats from our other two candidates that we previously eliminated.
The one statistic that catches my eye here is the price/book. NITE is a clear winner trading at close to book value while APOL is much higher at over 6 times book value. Again, however, I'm not ready to eliminate APOL from consideration. On to the final step. Let's look at what options are available to us.
In the above spreadsheet I've highlighted the near month ATM calls for both APOL and NITE. These are the options that I always look at first. If these don't appeal to me I'll then look at near month ITM or OTM options. If I don't find anything there then I'll look at the next month out. In this case, the near month ATM calls are not unappealing. I'll take a closer look at them. It is clear that the APOL options are the better choice. They have a superior called and uncalled return. In addition, they also give superior downside protection.
So, after all of this analysis what am I going to do? Well, based purely on the numbers reviewed in my analysis I believe APOL is the better trade. However, remember I don't like to trade stocks priced above $50. Thus, I am inclined to select NITE as my next trade.
Now, you'll recall I also placed a trade in NITE last month. It finished ITM so I should find that it has been called away when I log into my account tomorrow. Thus, given my familiarity with NITE, it is one more reason that I'm inclined to choose it over APOL.
That concludes my analysis of these potential trades. I hope you have found this to be worth your time to read. I'll be back tomorrow with another post updating everyone on how my January trades turned out.
GMEs earnings announcement today presented me with a great opportunity to expand my position. The stock sold off hard at the opening bell diving over $4.50 to trade as low as $19.42. In seeing this big drop I did a quick read of the press release to ensure nothing was fundamentally wrong with the company then I started looking at puts. My first look was at the JAN $19 puts. However, with only 9 days to expiration it had little to offer. It was priced at $0.35 bid. That wouldn't do.
What I was looking for was a put that had enough premium that when the bounce I was expecting came I could buy it back for a quick profit. Next up, the FEB $19 put. Now here was a put I could like. It was at $0.85 bid. This was the one I wanted.
So, now knowing what I wanted to sell I began to closely watch the stock trade. I was wanting to sell the put at the point of maximum pessimism. This is something that, with practice, you can begin to sense and see in the trades. The trick is in having the courage to pull the trigger when that point comes. So many times in the past I have chickened out when the exact moment arrived. Not today. I pulled the trigger and sold 3 FEB $19 puts for $0.95. Believe it or not, the stock almost immediately began to turn around. Less than an hour later I could have bought my puts back for $0.45! Did I? No, I did not. Why? Well, partly because I was being greedy. Of course, the stock then bounced around the rest of the day and I didn't get another chance to buy it back. However, it looks like I might have another chance tomorrow as the stock was up in after-hours trading.
OK, so by selling the FEB $19 puts what did it do for me? Well, first off I am getting a 5% ROIC on my cash secured puts (0.95/19). 5% in 44 days to expiration is 41.44% annualized. Also, if I'm successful in buying the puts back at a steep discount to my sales price or if I hold them and they expire OTM I will have significantly reduced the net cost of my existing long stock and short call position. You'll recall I bought the stock on 12/21 at $22.65 and sold the JAN $22.5 call for $0.96. That makes my net cost $21.69.
If I'm wrong and GME continues to sell off and I end up having the stock put to me at $19 I still am in a good position. My net cost on the new position will be $18.05. I'll then own 500 shares with a total net cost of $19.51.
Here you go Rich. Here's the thread for you to post your trades this month. Hopefully others will start joining you and post their results here as well.
UPDATE: Note, I have updated this post from its original contents to correct errors I found in my results spreadsheet. My apologies for any inconvenience or confusion this may have caused.
Well my first full year of CC/NP trading following Ron Groenke's approach and using his VISIONS software is complete. What a year it has been! First we suffered through one of the most volatile periods in history and the accompanying drop in the stock market. Then we experienced the most explosive recovery in the history of the market.
How did I do? Well before we delve into those details let me say that I was very conservative in my trading this year. I only did trades where I felt the odds were overwhelmingly in my favor. This is evident in my results as I did not have a single losing trade using Ron's approach. My conservatism is readily apparent in the metrics presented below.
I only entered and closed 15 trades using Ron's methodology. However, all 15 of these trades were profitable. Another indication of my conservatism can be found in the size of my trades and the average profit generated from them, $7492.71 and $311.32 respectively. Yet another indication of my conservatism can be found in the fact that 12 of my 15 closed trades were cash secured naked puts that were for the most part deep OTM.
Clearly, if I want to achieve my long-term investing goals I will need to greatly increase the number and size of my trades. However, going forward I don't think this will be an issue because my results this year have given me even more confidence in Ron's approach and the power of his VISIONS software.


St Margaret's College, the residential college for young women established in the Sisters' former home adjacent to the school has been renamed Durack College.
College Director Dr Kylie Armstrong said "the name change holistically honours historical links to place, the College's connection to the Sisters of the Society of the Sacred Advent and St Margaret's and their long standing service to educating rural women, which included a mission to prepare young women for a university education".
"The Durack name is affiliated with the College's locality with the Sisters having purchased a building for St Margaret's built by Patrick Durack. Durack is also a name synonymous with Australian pastoral history and given many of the College's residents are from rural and regional parts of Australia it gave further justification to the choice of the Durack moniker.
"Furthermore, the Durack women were pioneers, well-educated and strong role models. Patrick's granddaughters were Dame Mary Durack, a literary award winner and Elizabeth Durack, an artist and illustrator. Dame Mary's 1959 book of history Kings in Grass Castles is considered a classic of Australian literature and is the story of Durack's family. These women embody the College's vision to empower young women through education," said Dr Armstrong.
St Margaret's first opened the doors of the College in 2015, strengthening the legacy of the school's founders, the Sisters of the Society of the Sacred Advent.
The pioneering Sisters were passionate about the education of young women and embarked on a mission to prepare them for tertiary studies, establishing St Margaret's in 1895.
In light of the Sisters' enduring vision and the school's 123 year boarding history, the establishment of St Margaret's College seemed a logical extension. The boutique accommodation which can house up to 25 young women is situated in the very building the Sisters once called home.
Brianna Rankine is a foundation College student who was also a boarder at St Margaret's.
"As a boarder at St Margaret's AGS, I was very excited to hear of a college in the works in my senior year. I knew that a college founded by the Board would be of the same quality as the school itself. My time at St Margaret's was fantastic, so naturally I knew its college would be the right choice for me.
Brianna said Durack College was more than just a home away from home, offering unique and tailored opportunities for students.
"A unique part of this College is the opportunities we get at our social networking events. We have one for each field of study to help the residents transition from student life to working life. At these events both students and professionals are invited to join our residents to help the students break into the professional world. These have been very successful - one of our residents was awarded an internship after one of these events," said Brianna.
Brianna has also accessed the College's distinctive employment opportunities at St Margaret's.
Dr Kylie Armstrong says: "At Durack College we are focused on supporting, mentoring and empowering the students as they strive for educational success in their tertiary studies. Of equal importance is preparing these young women for their future career pathways.

Cisco, Trend Micro fight virus outbreaks
By admin | September 27, 2005
Cisco Systems on Tuesday is expected to announce a set of threat prevention features its networking products, including a virus protection service it has developed together with Trend Micro that is designed to slow the spread of worms inside the network.
The new set of features called the Cisco Incident Control Systems (ICS) and is an extension to Cisco's self-defending networks strategy. This service will help network administrators set security policies based on the results provided by anti-virus company Trend Micro. Cisco is expected to integrate the solution in the new version of its IOS software.
"Cisco and Trend Micro have recognized that through collaboration between our real-time threat management services, a key aspect of the Trend Micro Enterprise Protection Strategy and the Cisco Self-Defending Network security strategy and solutions, we can deliver a stronger business security environment that reduces both risk and costs for our customers," said Eva Chen, chief executive officer of Trend Micro.
With the new ICS solution, customers will be able quickly response to worms and network outbreaks, and block the distribution of malicious programs by distributing mitigation policies across the network.
"These advancements deliver broad-based protection for new and emerging threats across the entire network and utilize existing network and security infrastructure to help protect existing business investments," said Jeff Simpler, president and CEO of Simpler-Webb, a global managed services, technology consulting, network management, and software development solutions company.
"These solutions also underscore the increased customer demand for solutions that help customers dramatically improve the network´s ability to defend against threats; a cornerstone to the Cisco Self-Defending Network security strategy."
Cisco's other upgrades include a new version of Cisco Security Monitoring, Analysis and Response System that can identify and respond to security threats in remote locations.

Title: Horizon to help 'market a belief': agency ignores controversy in taking on Church of Scientology
Date: Monday, 17 February 2003

LOS ANGELES — Its detractors have compared the Church of Scientology to a cult, but the controversy that often surrounds it did not deter Horizon Media from taking on the business.
"It's freedom of speech," said Zach Rosenberg, evp and general manager for Horizon in Los Angeles. "Everyone has a right to market a belief, and we want to help them."
The independent agency won media responsibilities for the church's account following a review that included incumbent URI, Beverly Hills, Calif.; KSL Media and Universal McCann, both Los Angeles; and Corinthian Media, New York.
The church, which spent about $45 million on ads in 2002, per Nielsen Monitor-Plus, had grown too big for URI, said Becky Miscavige, client marketing campaigns director. Horizon was tapped because it is "a growing independent agency that fits our needs as a growing church," and it has an office in Europe, she said.
Horizon will handle media strategies for building awareness of the church in the U.S., Europe and Russia. The account will be handled by Horizon's Los Angeles office and its Amsterdam outpost, Eurizon.
U.S. duties include buying and planning to support church founder L. Ron Hubbard's book Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health. Internationally, Eurizon will support the Volunteer Minister Cavalcade, which touts Scientology in 40 cities.
"It's not standard retail [advertising]—to drive traffic into seats or generate ratings—it's ultimately to recruit people to the church," Rosenberg said.
Creative is done in-house, Miscavige said. Billings are undetermined.
Founded in 1954 with one church, Scientology now claims 3,000-plus locations in 154 countries.


It's not often that a product comes along that is both surprising and exciting. Every year, you'll see one or two things that will impress you with technical prowess or that have special cool factor which might get the blood going, but they so rarely come in the same small package. It's refreshing when it happens. The Gremlin by MusicGremlin is one of those devices.
First off, the Gremlin kind of snuck up on us. We got an email last week asking us if we'd like to look at it, they sent one yesterday, and today I'm allowed to write about it. I've spent a few hours with the device, which is an 8GB flash player with built-in WiFi, but I was initially quite skeptical. After all, we've looked at Wi-Fi-enabled music players before and have rarely, if ever, been impressed by anything we saw.
Thankfully, the Gremlin doesn't feel like a Wi-Fi device. When you turn it on, it automatically hunts for open networks or paid networks that you have previously authorized the device to join. The devices we received already had T-Mobile accounts, so they were essentially wireless all over the world. The device holds over 2 million song titles—I'm trying to confirm, but I believe they're using Real/MusicNet's catalog—and the devices costs $299 while the songs cost 99 cents to download or $14.99 per month for unlimited listening. Standard stuff.
The one thing that makes this service stand out, however, is the playlist sharing. Every user of the MusicGremlin service appears in your "My Community" menu and you can then pick and choose songs from folks who may or may not have the same music taste. For example, I found one fellow who was in love with Queensryche while another kid really liked Joan Baez. This eclectic mix makes for quite a treasure hunt.
Because there are so many songs—and because the interface is very kludgy—the community service is an excellent if not amazing feature. The song hunting interface requires you to scroll through the alphabet to type in a name, one letter at a time. Because there are so many songs, looking for someone like Bob Dylan requires lots of typing and scrolling. Unique names take considerably less time to find, but our experience has thus far been a bit frustrating.
Available now on Amazon.com, the MusicGremlin should have other MP3-player makers looking over their shoulder. MusicGremlin's product is strong, compelling, and very cool.


A great use for shredded paper, is to turn it into a shredded paper pulp or papier mache clay. This is a fun medium to work with and can be quickly and easily turned into bowls.
You can then paint to you heart's desire. We decided to make ours into Summer Fruit Bowls – a melon, orange, lemon and kiwi fruit bowl. Together they look gorgeous.
These would look so LOVELY with our Summer Pencil Holders too!! Summer room decor for tweens sorted.
Over the Easter holidays, the kids and I shredded two bin bags worth of paper. Left with the two bags of shredded paper, we were looking at different shredded paper things to make! We are a big fan of "papier mache" in the "newspaper strips" sense and have made all sorts in the past (from Dino Piggy Banks, to Easter Baskets), but we have never work with paper pulp before. So this was interesting and exciting and new for us. We made a number of shredded paper diys… but today we want to share our Papier Mache Fruit Bowls.
With summer fruit designs – melon bowls, orange bowls and lemon bowls – we think these make great summer holiday projects. Also, as papier pulp is quite wet.. the summer is a great time to make these, as they will dry much quicker in the sunshine. Having said that, we made these at Easter… it just took 2-3 days longer to dry. So you can make them at any time of the year really! What I REALLY love about these papier mache bowls however, is that they are so so so thrifty and eco friendly.
We used our papier mache paste, that is made from flour and water and yields great results! (Find 19 more great uses for shredded paper here). We also have MORE Summer Fruits fun, with this adorable and quick to make Summer Fruits Bookmark Set! Or have a look at our Melon Paper Fans. Gorgeous – and yes, these are all part of our collection of DIY Watermelon Craft Ideas!
Or take a look at our step by step photos – Papier Mache Bowls!
7) Start painting. Paint them any way you wish – we turned ours into summer fruit – a watermelon bowl, an orange bowl and a lemon bowl. But you can paint them anyway you want – they can be dotty, splogy, stripey, monochrome, primary colours.. anything you want. Maybe make an earth day one?!
Turn around and paint the outside!
And finished. Aren't these papier mache bowls simply beautiful? I love love love them. They would make a great Mother's Day gift or Christmas gift for kids to make too!


A last-minute court challenge has overturned a mobile phone ban for New Zealanders in Australian immigration detention centres.
But instead lawyers working free for the National Justice Project won an urgent injunction at a five-hour special weekend hearing, so the phones remain until a full court hearing in a few weeks.
John James Te Moananui was one of 143 detainees who joined forces seeking the injunction.
He says his phone was his "lifeline", but he feared ultimately they would lose the fight and that could spark trouble.

✅ Rhetorical Analysis Writing Guide
To carry out a rhetorical analysis, consider the rhetorical situation. Use what you know about the author and their intentions. A good rhetorical essay includes not only analysis, but also description and evaluation of the text.
But first, outline your essay using these steps:
Introduction/summary. Briefly summarize the text.
Thesis. Point out the main rhetorical feature and its function you've discovered in the text. It's crucial to provide supporting evidence for your thesis. Your essay should answer the question: did the author succeed as a rhetorician?
Example of a thesis:
In his book The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Mark Twain shows America through a child's eyes. The social commentary is made effective through the use of irony and regional dialect.
Body paragraphs. Start each paragraph with a short topic sentence that points back to the thesis. In this section, explore the elements of the rhetorical situation:
Ethos, which refers to the author's credibility.
Pathos, or the emotional appeal.
Logos, which means persuasion by showing evidence.
Kairos, referring to the timing.
Stasis, or the situation when the argument "gets stuck" due to the opinion difference.
Don't forget to give examples when talking about the elements of the rhetorical situation!
Here's an example of using logos to resolve a stasis:
The author argues that alcohol is dangerous. He cites arguments of people who don't believe it to be true. Then, the author uses compelling evidence to prove them wrong.
Conclusion. Make a final assessment of the text and review your argument.
We hope this article helped you find a good topic for a rhetorical analysis essay. We also hope that it helped you understand how to write it perfectly.
Good luck with your assignment!

This entry was posted in Sea Fishing and tagged Bass fishing, plugging, sea, sea fishing by Alan Yates. Bookmark the permalink.
Your so wrong about plugging not being a great method for big bass it's actually the total opposite of what you say! How does 15lb 8oz sound to you on a surface plug in clear flat calm water and that's in baking hot sunshine and in the north east of England. This is not a one off either we have caught many big bass around midday in flat calm conditions on a little rapala shad rap in blue&silver deep runner and on shallow venues at low water on any sort of popper. I can't understand where your info comes from because if bass are in the mood to feed they will at anytime of the day and plugging is definitely the way to catch a big chunky bass during daylight rather than free lining a mackerel head which only works after dark to be honest. I have 20 years plugging and bass fishing experience and all I will say is don't wait for the perfect conditions because you will never get out fishing.

Is sexism the original sin of the church?
Jon White
HuffPost's podcast All Together takes a look at the consecration of Libby Lane as the first female bishop in the Church of England. In this episode, to help him understand the continuing sexism in the Christian Church, Raushenbush spoke with four extraordinary women: the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church Katharine Jefforts Schori, the recent US ambassador for Religious Freedom the Rev. Dr. Suzan Johnson Cook, The President of Union Theological Seminary, The Rev. Dr. Serene Jones, and the one and only Sister Joan Chittister.
From HuffPost
Recently, Rev. Libby Lane was consecrated as Bishop of Stockport making her the first woman Bishop in the Church of England. The stain glass ceiling break-through only occurred after years of debate and still, at her consecration, a priest stood and objected. In Orthodox Christianity, the Roman Catholic Church and in some Protestant denominations, women are not allowed to serve as pastors or priests. Pope Francis, who has been so open on many issues, has slammed the door shut to any debate on women serving as priests.
Given that women surrounded Jesus during his ministry, were the last to stay with Jesus at the cross, and the first to see him resurrected; it appears clear that Jesus believed in the spiritual power and perception of women. So, why does the church not hold women in the same esteem as did Jesus, the founder and center of the faith?

Personally, I don't see anything in the New Testament in which Jesus establishes his Covenant (of sacrifice and amendments to Law to make Law more fair) about Hierarchy.
That's a Vatican apparition, hierarchy is. But also within Vatican dogma is that of the Saints and the Ascension of Mary, to whom Catholics pray continually. Women Saints are taken seriously, there.
Our Church has no lady-saints who are taken as serious and humble role-models, professors of the Faith. Our denomination bought deeply into the doctrine of patriarchy.
Now, with almost no lady-saints to serve as exemplars for women, we are consecrating women in the Church into primarily male offices of leadership, planning and executive Orders, but we don't know whether those Offices are best suited by lady-saints.
Seems to me, masculine and feminine models of leadership are actually quite different. Wouldn't the Church benefit if there were role-functions in leadership that exploit the right-brain-dominant gifts of lady-saints?
Is this what the priest is FOR? Providing comfort in suffering? Yes! Is this what the Bishop is FOR? Planning and executing policy, setting goals, short-term and long-term? This is left-brain thinking, better done by the left-brain dominant leader (male, generally).
What works best is when individuals are temperamentally suited to the job they are doing. And in "hierarchy," which is a concept coming down to us from the ETAnnunaki culture (Sumarian records), patriarchy doesn't allow for differences in temperament between male and female.
But we can work around that.
Bro David
Reply to Emily Windsor
Your short-sighted concept of the corporate executive bishop is of extemely late development. Priests represent the bishop, they are an extension of the bishop and cary out carrying out the bishop's primary role. Without the bishop their are no priests.
David Streever
Emily:
What scientific study demonstrates this left vs right brain idea?
What scientific study links it to males?
Why do women outperform men on intelligence tests?
Why do women outperform men on assessments of group projects?
It's weird that you'd assert that there are 'left brain' 'male' skills that allow one to do better work with a group; every study I've read shows that there is no division between the brain and that women objectively perform better than men at these tasks!

The Dhauladhar range looked brilliant in the clear, morning sky.
The Dhauladhar range looked brilliant in the clear, morning sky. Yes, I rewrote that sentence again for this caption.
However, the ground near me didn't. I had a hard time sleeping in the ruckus made by the marriage party. When I woke up, the place was in a mess. A lot of disposable plates, plastic glasses, remains of fireworks and empty liquor bottles were littered around the yard.
To top it off, the electricians who had worked on lighting the tent had screwed up the MCB and there was no power in my room. My devices barely had any charge left in them. I called Nitesh and asked him to shift my room. He promised to do it as soon as the baboons left.
I needed to get away. Sonu, the excellent server at Pops, arranged a taxi. The driver, Manu, played Nepali songs throughout the trip. He wasn't a Nepali. He had married a Nepali girl. I think his wife has influenced his musical tastes. He hadn't heard 1974 AD, though.
Almost everything in Palampur is radially away from the Palampur town. Saurabh Van Vihar and Neugal Cafe are on the banks of Neugal Khad.
Saurabh Van Vihar is a nice little enclosure of pine forest, maintained by the Forest Deaprtment. The park is dedicated to the memories of Captain Saurabh Kalia, a martyr of the Kargil War. In fact, he died even before he received his first paycheck, in the hands of Pakistani troops.
There is a small area dedicated to floral beds. The seeds for this season have just been planted.
Pine trees against Neugal Khad.
The boating area against the backdrop of Dhauladhar range.
Neugal Cafe is a hopeless place. It is run by the Himachal Tourism Department. It could be a good place during the summers, but it is useless in the winters. Most people flock there to drink beer while sitting against the Neugal Khad. I was there for breakfast. It is unimpressive as a restarant.
Masala Tea and Chicken Sandwich. The veg sandwich at Dalhousie bus stand was better by leaps and bounds.
Manu, the driver, drove through the Kangra tea estates to reach Andretta Village. The place is known for Shobha Singh's Art gallery and a Pottery workshop and museum. The former was closed. (Like the rest of Palampur, it remains closed on Mondays.) I was the only visitor to the latter. They opened the museum door just for me.
A tea garden near Palampur. The road exiting Palampur from the South-West has lot of tea estates. The co-operative tea factory and the Tea Board office are situated on this road.
Pottery wheels. One can take classes for Rs 150 an hour, provided that the trainers are available.
A potter mixing colours for designs on clay.
Baijnath temple has been taken over by ASI. There is an entire myth associated with the temple which attracts devotees of Shiva.
The spire of Baijnath Temple.
Devotees flocking to touch the bull (Nandi).
A drummer drums and begs inside the temple.
Khir Ganga Ghat is situated on Binwa river that passes on the other side of the temple.
This small monastery was getting an expansion. The entire front region was under construction. The monastery itself, however, was peaceful and calm. The gate of the main monastery was closed but I managed to take a snap of its main Buddha idol through the grill.
A young monk entering the Tashi Jong School.
The Tashi Jong Monastery or technically, Khampagar Monastery at Tashi Jong.
The Buddha idol inside the main monastery.
When I got back, Nitesh shifted me to a better and proper room. As a compensation, he also wavered yesterday's food expenses. Although I don't think it is enough, at least he has agreed to do something.
My new room was an improvement from yesterday's hell.
Sonu, the server at Pops, mentioned that it will take them at least three days to clean up the mess. After all, the owner had decided to rent the place to a group of 100 baboons for three days.


Another C&F Favorite! These beautiful performance half-zips offer an extremely flexible layer with a soft-brushed backing and moisture control for year-round comfort. The shirt is gently contoured for a fitted silhouette.

Monkeying around with these Cupcakes!
When Tersia asked me to do these monkey cupcakes for her baby shower I was intrigued by her naughty monkey theme for her party. She had collected soft toy monkeys for her baby boy's room and she wanted a monkey theme for her baby shower. These monkeys were a tricky task at the time for me not being 100 % back into the swing of my baking but I really wanted to help her as she was recommended to me by Hester and she had seen my cute smurf cupcakes and knew she wanted cute cupcakes for her friends attending her baby shower. I knew I couldn't make all these monkeys myself so I asked Paige if she would help me as she is beautifully artistic and has a great eye for detail. I was delighted when she agreed and with no help from me she handmade these 25 naughty little monkeys. On seeing them I fell in love with their naughty expressions and gorgeous faces. If you look closely you can almost hear what they are thinking. Congratulations Paige, you just made your debut as a sugar artist with these crafty little guys!
These cute monkeys jumped from the photo shoot on my book straight onto delicious chocolate cupcakes iced with a creamy vanilla icing and were delivered in time for Tersia's babyshower. I had such a wonderful email response from Tersia which I have quoted here as it was the perfect thank you to Paige for all her time and enthusiasm creating these characters for me and for Tersia.
← Pink Pepper and Pink Roses for a Family Memory!
Thanks for giving Paige the opportunity to make the monkeys, she had such fun doing doing them. The cupcakes turned out so well and I'm sure tasted as yummy as they always do!
Thanks Tracy, I was only too pleased that Paige could help me and loved her adding her creativity to my cupcakes!

It's my 27th wedding anniversary tomorrow, and I wanted to make a card for my hubby that wasn't too frilly yet expressed my appreciation for him. Using a sketch from Try Stampin' on Tuesday, I created a bold black and white design with just a tiny pop of color. Here's hoping he likes it!
Sorry you had trouble linking. I have taken care and added your card. Can I ask how you were trying to do it? We are testing out a different tool and I just want to try to see what may have been the issue or if i can give a suggestion for the future. Thanks for commenting the link so we didnt miss out on your entry. Thanks so much for being part of the challenge. Your card is very lovely!
Hi Kaylin. I just clicked on the link tool and instead of a field asking for the url, it asked me to sign in with my user name and password. I tried several times and couldn't get it to work. Hopefully it was just a fluke!
Oh, lovely! I think you hit just the right touches for your anniversary - I always struggle with going to frilly myself for mine, lol. This looks perfect! Thanks so much for playing at TSOT!
Cheryl this is such a sweet anniversary card. I love how you have the arrow pointing to the couple. Thanks for joining us at TSOT!
Happy Anniversary, Cheryl!!!! You did a fabulous job on this card - no frills, but amazing! I'm sure your husband loved it. Thank you so much for playing along with us Paper Girls in our Black and White challenge! Hope to see more of your work again soon!

Sergei Iwanowitsch Mizkewitsch (, wiss. Transliteration ; geb.  in Jaransk, Gouvernement Wjatka, Russisches Kaiserreich; gest. 12. September 1944 in Moskau, Sowjetunion) war ein russischer Arzt, Publizist und Museumsdirektor.

Biografie
Mizkewitsch war der Sohn eines Offiziers der Russischen Armee. Von seinem Geburtsort Jaransk zog die Familie nach Libau, später nach Nischni Nowgorod, wo er eine Ausbildung im Kadettenkorps abschloss und von 1888 bis 1893 ein Medizinstudium an der Moskauer Universität absolvierte.

Während seiner Studentenzeit wurde er ein Vertreter der russischen revolutionären Bewegung und Mitbegründer des Mitte der 1890er Jahre gebildeten Moskauer Arbeiterbundes (Московский Рабочий Союз). Seit 1893 war er aktives Mitglied des sozialdemokratischen Kreises der Führenden Sechs (Руководящая шестерка, der Jahre 1893–1894), zu denen P. I. Winokurowa, Ja. Sponti, M. N. Mandelschtam (Ljadow), S. I. Mizkewitsch, A. Winokurow und S. I. Prokofjew gehörten. 1894 wurde er verhaftet, war zunächst in Einzelhaft im Taganka-Gefängnis und wurde im Februar 1897 Jahre nach Jakutien ins Kolymagebirge verbannt. 1898 wurde er aus dem Gefängnis in Oljokminsk entlassen, wo er als Arzt in Goldminen gearbeitet hatte.

Während der Februarrevolution 1917 war er in der Propaganda tätig und wurde im November 1917 aus dem Vorstand der Gesellschaft für Bolschewismus ausgeschlossen. Nach der Oktoberrevolution wurde er stellvertretender Vorsitzender des Saratower Sowjets. Nach der Gründung der Sowjetunion war er Mitorganisator des sowjetischen Gesundheitswesens. Von 1924 bis 1934 war er der erste Direktor des Revolutionsmuseums der UdSSR, für das er beispielsweise das Albom po istorii WKP(B) (Album zur Geschichte der Kommunistischen Allunions-Partei (Bolschewiki)) herausgab.

Mmm tested that, but all at normal working temps!
Or to anyone on this Forum - is there a Bios update for my motherboard (even Beta)?
Last edited by Twinings; 07-13-2011 at 06:26 PM.
0- I assume you have "890GX Extreme 4", not "890GX Extreme 4 R2.0".
1- I have the same motherboard and encounter somehow similar problems. Mine does not go blue screen but hangs. Like "wizardB" I believe these are temperature problems as my room is too warm. In less warm times which is early morning (4:00 - 6:00 AM) I have not much problems. Then you have to cool down your room.
3- Several days after updating to this new bios, I saw memory errors in my memory test (memtes86+). As those days was warmer than before, I couldn't make sure that those errors are due to bios update or ambient temperature. Every tuning in bios was useless. My memory was 2x2GB "Corsair" modules. I removed one module and it made correct. Some times later, I replaced my rams with 2x2GB "G.Skill" ones and saw that more errors appear. Finally I inserted all 4 modules (2 Corsair + 2 G.Skill) and strangely this 8GB combination has not errors!! All this I said to inform you that better to test your memory immediately after bios update. If experienced any problem, please share here to discuss.

Bahram, thank you for taking the time to report the issues you have encountered!
I have as you guessed the Extreme 4 (and not R2.) So i followed your instruction - flashed the BIOS with a USB key plugged into the USB3 slot and it flashed without any issues - Then as suggested, i checked that my RAM is being recognised and found that it displayed correctly all slots full 8GB.
I then booted the system and restarted again as i wanted to now install my Radeon 6950 - installed card but strangely the BIOS didnt have an option to diasable on board Graphics!!
I went ahead to see if it worked anyway and it booted up correctly, i then installed the latest ATI drivers and rebooted once more to find the system would not boot (blank screen) not even a BIOS option!
tried to reboot 4-5 times and then took the card out and connected the monitor cable back into the onboard, booted up and went to the BIOS (still no option to disable onboard) Booted up fine with onboard graphics - I removed the Radeon drivers and rebooted, Installed 6950 and rebooted - now BIOS shows the option to select PCIE as display adaptor - booted up and reinstalled ATI's Driver (tried an older one this time) rebooted and nothing again!!
Again followed steps above and tried an even older driver but no use - system just wouldnt boot after Drivers installed for Graphics card.
So looks like this new BIOS flash doesnt like 4 sticks of RAM from the same manuafacturer???
I ran the system for an hour (it was late) with no errors - ill be testing it again this evening - hopefully this will do the job!!
I think If you select "Auto" for shared memory of onboard card, It will be disabled when you install an add-on card (not tested myself though!). Therefore, If you want to have both, you must specify a value between 32 and 512 MB manually.
Recognizing the correct amount of memory doesn't mean error-free setup. You should test your ram with a memory test program. "Ultimate Boot CD" is a free and complete compilation of such test tools which you can download and use.
How can we complain about?!

Bahram, Been away for a week so sorry for no update.
System continues to crash however only when playing games (games fully updated to latest patch) 6950 latest Drivers. I do manage to get longer periods of stability (2 hours) before games crashes or system BSOD. System seems to hold for much longer periods when not playing games.
I use my system for music creation so also needed to install high end sound card (PCI) with cable running to hardware rack - system just doesnt like this card (latest drivers) constantly crashing when installed (even in windows) so i de-installed. MOBO just doesnt play well with others!!!
Havent had a chance to test my RAM etc. but will do tonight/tomorrow.
AsRock - its clear to me now that its the MOBO thats causing me all this pain - By now im thinking your not going to release a real BIOS update? Will you accept the MOBO back and replace it with the R2 version? It really is useless to me - I know need to purchase another MOBO to get a stable system.
Bahram, is your system now stable? I dont know if i should take a chance and purchase the AsRock R2. But in another mind im thinking am i mad buying from AsRock again!!
The Motherboard has given me nothing but pain for the last 3 months since i built it!
Last edited by Twinings; 07-18-2011 at 06:47 PM.
System details - In case needed.
I prefer R1 just because I prefer NEC over Etron. If you have R2, you can have up to 32GB RAM (16GB for R1), and AM3+ CPUs; Neither are so exciting, unless memory problem be solved by its bios! For me as I said I havn't memory errors now but have heat problems, however, not still 100% sure. I will do more examination and will write results here.
For your crashes in games, have you tried to work in a cooler place? Also as I said before, you have to test your memory by memory diagnostic tools.
The thing most annoying me is that I can't install Windows 98 on it!
I chose this board among many excellent choices by ASUS, GIGABYTE,... just for its 3 legacy PCI slots, in which I planned to install 3 Win9x compatible cards!! Now, I have Windows XP, 7 and multiple Linux distributions (all 32bit!) but a not working Windows 98 SE!!!

With this Orange County HCG Diet Doctors Directory, you can find a qualified weight loss specialist who offers the HCG Diet plan. The HCG Diet is a safe, supervised way for men and women to drop pounds quickly while following a low calorie eating plan and receiving the HCG hormone daily. Each person who works with an HCG Diet Doctor in Orange County California receives a customized plan to follow. Your doctor takes your body type, age, gender, health issues, and desired amount of weight loss into consideration before providing this to you.
Each provider that we list in this directory has several years of training and experience with weight management as well as administering HCG. This natural human hormone is condensed and concentrated when used as a weight loss aid. It helps control the appetite, speed up the metabolism, and burn through fat at an unprecedented rate. Whether you need to lose 10 pounds or over 100 pounds, you can meet your goals with the HCG Diet.
You may feel doubtful about the HCG Diet if you have lost weight on other diet plans only to regain it. It's common for dieters to drop water weight the first few weeks and then hit a plateau. Another common occurrence with typical diets is that the dieter's body draws its energy from muscle instead of fat. This leaves the dieter hungry, weak, irritable, and fatigued. The HCG hormone starts burning fat from the very first day while allowing you to retain the muscle strength you need.
After you have followed a restricted calorie eating plan and received HCG daily for several weeks, your doctor will move you to the maintenance phase. He or she provides one-on-one instruction to help you develop new habits that will keep the weight off for good.
We encourage you to take your time looking through this Orange County HCG Diet Doctors Directory until you find a good match. Once you do, just call the provider's office to request an initial consultation. It takes just a minute to do, but making the call is the first step towards a brighter future and a healthier you.

SHADOW CHASER - INTERWOVEN
Picking up the pace to push a jog into a run, his muscles groaned as the additional effort was exerted. He berated himself for having taken that day off from the exercise routine, but jet lag was something he could never overcome.
The flight to Lisbon had been uneventful and it felt good to be back on European soil after being assigned to the Middle East. There were days when he seriously regretted his career choice, and today was one of them as he lamented the lack of sleep and blandness of European food as compared to the fiery Afghani cuisine. His years of covert operations in Kabul with the Special Forces had come to an abrupt end when the UN Peace Keeping Forces took over. Those had been glorious high-adrenalin action days, but was glad to be out of now that only a handful of his teammates were still alive. The money had been great, with obscure bank accounts in various countries under different identities, but he was exhausted, emotionally drained, and tired of running from himself and living life in a Tube, with no family or people he could really call friends.
NO CONVENIENT WAY Model: T. Drawe
Lady Luck had been on his side when several lucrative positions found their way to his doorstep upon returning home, mostly in private investigation and security. The uncertainty of the outcome and the endless flirt with danger had an irresistible appeal that gnawed at something deep-seeded, leading him right back to government service. There was No Convenient Way of combining his passion for guns and operative talents in a "normal" career, not even an honest relationship. Anything less would have driven to madness, and with no one to bring him back from it.
ORIENTE Location: Gare do Oriente, Lisbon
Lisbon was exactly the way he remembered it, with the addition of new high rises and the Expo Park. Otherwise, the sultry air and the tinge of that glorious Portuguese red wine lurking around every corner was a welcome assault on the senses. As he waited in the shadows of the underground station Gare do Oriente, his sharp eyes scrutinized the commuters in the perimeter. Everyone was a suspect, and since the mark was a known master of disguises, there was no room for faulty assumptions. It could well be the old man sitting on the bench, or the middle-aged woman with the shopping cart, even the young college student with the scruffy dreadlocks. There was no current file photo of the mark, simply because not a single agency around the world had ever seen the real face, only picked up the remnants of the violent work.
COMPLEX Location: Lisbon
After six months of dead ends and insignificant clues, he had finally picked up a trail that led him through Iceland and now Portugal. Keeping a discrete distance to the executive in the Armani suit who alighted from the train and proceeded to the Vasco da Gama Commercial Complex, it became crystal clear to him today why nobody had spotted this criminal mastermind before. The refined and well-groomed man had entered the fitting room in one of the department stores, but it was a stunning redhead who emerged a few minutes later and threw a non-descript shopping bag into the garbage. Peering unobtrusively into the trash, the suit was there, and so were the wig, mask, false teeth and chest binder that had suppressed all traces of femininity beneath the suit. Cursing softly but violently beneath his breath, he realised this was going to be harder than he thought.
MOTEL Location: Lisbon, Model: T, Drawe
A million thoughts raced through his mind that night as he lay in bed at the cheap Motel. The fact that the mark was a woman changed the entire game plan and he was forced to re-strategise on a level he was not comfortable with at all. Wining and dining women was definitely not among his top skills. He could shoot a target from the top of a tall building or infiltrate a rebel village in the mountains of Kashmir, but charming a woman was a mystery. For the first time in his career, he was scared.

Randy Orton Returns as WWE Champion
At the conclusion of the 2003 WWE SummerSlam in Phoenix, Randy Orton stood side by side with World Heavyweight Champion Triple H after helping him deliver a brutal beating to fan favorite Goldberg.
Flashback: SummerSlam 2003
Ten years later, it was Triple H standing at Orton's side in the closing moments of SummerSlam 2013 on Sunday night, after helping him defeat fan favorite Daniel Bryan to steal the WWE Championship.
The finish was as surprising as it was upsetting to the thousands of fans attending the live event in Los Angeles, and the million of fans watching the pay-per-view around the world. The night appeared to end in celebration, as Bryan stunned defending champion John Cena in the main event to win his first-ever WWE title to the thrill of the capacity crowd.
But the chants of "YES! YES! YES!" were interrupted by the "voices" of Orton's intro theme, as last month's Money-in-the-Bank winner slowly walked toward the ring. Carrying his prized briefcase with a guaranteed contract inside good for a title match at the time and place of his choosing, Orton appeared poised to cash in, until he stopped just outside the ring.
As confetti rained down from the rafters, Orton smirked and then turned and started to walk back up the ramp towards the backstage. The warning had officially been issued, and Bryan would be ready for his first challenger. Or would he?
As the new champion turned to continue the party, he was met with a big boot to the gut from Triple H, the WWE's CEO, who had appointed himself as the special guest referee for the match. A vicious Pedigee later and the "unbiased" ref was counting to three for the second time in a matter of minutes, only this time handing Orton the WWE title belt to the shock of everyone.
What sort of game is "The Game" playing with the WWE Universe? Where will Orton, aka "the Viper," strike next? How will Bryan react to losing the championship he had dreamed of winning his whole life? And where does Cena fit in to the title picture?
Get your tickets for WWE Monday Night RAW, which returns to Phoenix and US Airways Center on Monday, Aug. 26, for the next chapter in the championship story!
