The story I'm writing involves two schools with a considerable rivalry. They're both in a moderately sized American town, and one is the large public school in the town, the other is a small, exclusive private school.
If both schools play football in the same division/league/term-I-don't-know, would it be guaranteed they'd play each other during the season, or would that depend on how they played against other teams?
Thanks!

Googled "navy nurse", "typical day of navy nurse" and variations on a theme, read the websites of the UK and US Navies concerning nurses.
I'm writing a Star Trek reboot fic containing a nurse. I'd like to know what her usual standard duties would be for the days when there are no life-threatening emergencies. I thought that a good analogy would be to look at what nurses serving on ships today do, and extrapolate from there but I'm having problems finding exactly what I'm looking for. How would she interact with patients - what sort of injuries/checks could she be responsible for sorting out, and what would be handled by a doctor? What would she do with her time if there were no patients demanding her attention?
Thank you to anybody that can help me.

there was this one website where you put together baskets of goodies from your area and you swap it with someone who lives somewhere else. the site itself aided in no way; it just provided a way for people to connect with each other. for some reason i think the word "swap" was in the title and i remember the site had yellow and brown on it. anyone have a clue?
Weird one here... when I was little my sister had these keychains from an amusement park. I think it was Astroworld or Six Flags but I can't remember. Anyway, they were like a squareish megaphone shape and had a picture inside at one end and a little magnifying window at the other end. When you look inside, the little picture looked bigger. I love them and when we went to Seaworld this week...they didn't have them. :*( Anyone know what they're called? Or is there even a name for them?

| It starts out like every other morning. You wake up, you brush your teeth, you make your breakfast. There's nothing good in the paper, so you get up to get dressed... until you hear a rumbling in the distance. Your glass of milk starts to tremble, and suddenly you notice your house shaking. It feels like an earthquake-- but no, that can't be right-- no, it's something bigger, it has to be, and you scurry into a corner, hugging your knees to your chest, waiting this out as it comes closer and closer and closer-- Destruction. Trees being ripped out by their roots, houses smashed to bits, you, being torn from your safehaven. You're flying so fast that your ears are ringing, and you close your eyes, mouth open in a silent scream, until you black out and everything suddenly stops. You open your eyes. All around stretches miles and miles of red desert. Mountains line the skyline, the sole survivors of a massive explosion that spread across the Earth. The air is thick with dust, dirt, chemicals, and poison, and you can hardly breathe. Clutching at your throat, you're certain that it can't be long until you'll suffocate, at this rate-- it looks like no one else is around, and you're going to die on this red planet, completely alone. You're wrong It sounds like a helicopter is landing. You're unsure. There are people in metallic bodysuits shouting and picking you up and taking you on board a ship that looks like something taken straight out of the Twilight Zone. They're drilling you with questions, performing tests, prodding, poking, injecting a chip into your neck-- they try to explain everything, but you can't comprehend everything at once. "It's the year 2500. You were catapulted out of your world by a nuclear blast. We will be taking you to Pluto IX: Space Colony, along with the last survivors of Earth." |

For a lucky few there is a special year-round school for troubled teens located in the Cascade Mountains approximately two and half hours northeast of Seattle and miles from nowhere in rural Washington State. Mount Triumph High School is one part private boarding school, one part rehabilitation centre in a mountain cabin setting. The students there come from all walks of life from the high school football star to the girl from the trailer park and the aim of the school is to give the kids a second chance, a way to get their life on track. |

I'm trying to track down two movies.
The first is a movie I watched as a child, in the early 90's. I believe it was set in Italy or England in the victorian times, and from the looks of it I would guess it was made in the 80's or maybe even 70's. It was about two kids, a teenage boy (skinny, dark hair/eyes) and his younger sister (preteen, long blonde hair) whose mother dies and who then go in search of their missing father. (I think he's been separated from the rest of the family for awhile, maybe to go to sea?) They end up witnessing a (very decrepit) old man being murdered, and later have to break into his coffin (I remember this scene vividly, since it scared me so much. The old man has started to decay and there are ants or some other kind of insect crawling all over his face.) They get caught up in a search for a treasure (I'm pretty sure it was a diamond.) and run across their dad, who is dark, bearded, and always dressed in black with a black cap. They end up in an abandoned church, and have to sneak through various tunnels and trap doors (one of which leads into an empty, spiderweb-strewn room, where the skeleton of a dead monk is sitting in a chair. I am pretty sure they end up knocking the skeleton over.) At the end they wind up with the treasure, and run into their dad again, but I don't believe there is any kind of happy reunion. (In fact, at the end I think they might have been running away from him.)
The other is a commercial for a movie that I never watched, but that was advertised all over TV at the time. This was also during the 90's, and was both brand new and pretty well-known. I only really remember one part of the commercial, but it was the most famous and most often shown. There was this young guy, totally bald, with asbolutely white skin dressed in dark clothes. (I think he was the main character, and had special powers.) He was sitting on a park bench with a normal looking girl. They started kissing, and as they kissed, began to float off the bench.
Any ideas?
EDIT: #2 is Powder. The jury is still out about #1, though.

So im trying to find this a thai tv show that i watched when i was younger. I think my parents used to rent it from an asian video rental shop on bootlegged vhs. The show is about four siblings(?), three boys and a girl; they each control one of the four elements (air, water, fire, and wind) and fought against evil ghosts. They wore traditional thai clothings and something i remember specifically are these golden ring bracelets, i believe they were magical and somehow helped with their quest. i think they could fly too, maybe on a magic carpet? And the evils that they fought against were like traditional folklore thai ghosts.

Fiction novel, had to do with this girl, probably in her late teens, who is convinced she is being abducted by/having contact with aliens on a regular basis.
She lives in a small town, I think. She's described as wearing baggy clothes, and hiding her face in hooded sweatshirts, but people still think she is very beautiful.
She becomes pregnant, and she's convinced she's pregnant with an alien baby.

I read this book probably 5 years ago, and I don't think it was new then, I also don't think it was terribly long, and it was paperback.
I remember nothing about the cover or the title...

I need an herb that's available in a temperate forested area in Europe that will induce sleepiness and death in high enough doses. It has to be able to be easily added to either water or food. Side effects such as disorientation, discolored skin, etc. would be a bonus but not necessary.

I'm writing fiction about a schoolmaster with an external degree earned after service in WWI. I gather his degree would most likely have been granted by the University of London, though he sat his exams elsewhere. He needs to do primary research for a book he is writing, and the papers he needs to see (I looked up their real location) are at the British Museum, the Bodleian, and Pembroke College, Oxford. I'd rather write the Oxford trip than the London one, but have no idea how procedures for getting permission to use, say, Duke Humphrey's library have changed since the mid 1920s, when the story is set. (I looked up the modern rules on the Oxford U. site.)
Does my character need a letter? An alumnus friend? An introduction from a current fellow or professor? Would he get a pass? Would it matter that he is not an alumnus in the usual sense (was there a distinction, social or practical, between an external BA and a matriculated one)? Would he need to use gloves to handle the manuscripts? Would he be allowed to take pencil notes? Was there any security check?
Can anybody point me in the direction of something that would help? I've looked, as I say, at the university site itself; I've searched Googlebooks and found interesting memoir and biography material, but mostly in regard to OU students or sometimes people on Fulbrights, etc. Nothing I found speaks to the history of the entrance rules or procedures. Before I'm driven to make up something vaguely plausible, I'd like to take another shot at finding facts.

the LIGHT OF MAY |
|
On May 1st, 2009, nation leaders spoke together to reveal a truth to the world: the supernatural world is real. Vampires, werewolves, and more exist. They have been known to the government for a long time, and now they are coming out of the shadows - and they come with a message. They are not a threat. They mean no danger to humans. But there are other things out there that do. The days that followed changed everything most people believed they knew about the world, about history, and most importantly, about themselves. Celebrities, politicians, the family down the street - they began revealing their true identities, and telling the world what they really were. Missing people that had been turned against their will came out of hiding, and orginizations popped up to reunite them with their families. The revealing of the supernatural was penned in the media as the Light of May, as society made room for the supernatural. It wasn't easy. Many, human and supernatural alike, were terrified of what this would mean. Some wanted to keep the supernatural abominations down. Leading figures of both Democratic and Republican parties were revealed to be supernaturals themselves, and joined together to fight for civil rights for the supernatural. It is revealed that if the supernatural were wiped out, half of the entire world's population would be gone. Independent parties popped up through-out the country, opposing supernatural rights, and the fight goes on. But those aren't the only battles being fought. Why did the Light of May happen? If the supernatural has always existed, why are they only making themselves known now? For centuries, those with supernatural blood have been hunted, held, and killed - all for the benefits of their blood to hunters, and vampires who don't want to play by the rules of etiquette. There was a time when the angels, and even the fae, fought to protect them. But the fae have been extinct for hundreds of years, and worse - the angels seem to have disappeared. There is nothing fighting the demons of the world at bay now. The human race is at risk, and they are not alone. The Light of May is an original supernatural game, taking place in a time when the world is adjusting to the world that has been hidden since the beginning of time. The game is set in Ann Arbor, Michigan, centered around a fictional township called Scarlet Oak. Characters of many races are up for play, as are those trusty humans. The Light of May will be focusing on characters adjustments and the eventual struggle against demons, hunters, and more. The Light of May is for original characters only. Pre-existing fandom characters will not be allowed. Many wanted characters and storylines! |

I used to read lots of mystery books for kids back in the 90's, like the Boxcar children series, the New Bobbsey Twins (lame, i know), etc.
I remember reading one childrens book in the 90's but possibly published in the 80's. The only things i remember about it is a girl goes to sleep thinking about a clue she found that day. I think it had something to do with a message written in numbers and she finally realizes that it corresponds with the alphabet (ex: 1=A,2=B,3=C and so on), and is able to decipher it.

The kingdom of Forsilvra is a thriving land. Most people live their days on their farms or in their mines, working day to day in order to survive. But for the elite class, those Lords who govern lands and provinces, life in Forsilvra is constant struggle of power. The battle for power and position is usually a subtle one - the ties of marriage, the treaties that bind families and lands, the barter and trade of wealth, property, and resources.
Fifty years ago, after a civil war involving the entire kingdom, a new King from a new line was crowned. But not everyone in Forsilvra is happy with the current ruler or the circumstances behind his family's ascension to the throne. Political unrest is brewing, as those of noble class struggle to push their own houses into power.

You have been brought to a dead Earth. Rubble on the surface where the great building used to be, trees gnarled twigs with no traces of vegetation anywhere, and water smelling strongly of rotten eggs, you wonder how anyone could possibly live in such a place such as this! Worst though, there are unspeakable evils and grotesque beings walking along the surface with you. Nightmares and dreams of people have been made real and haunt the Surface. All done by aliens in order to study humans. And the dreams seem drawn to you, though whether they want to hurt or look you over curiously is not something you want to wait to find out. But thank goodness the government is on your side. The mayor, who has a strange smile and strangely yellow tinted skin, finds, informs, and brings you to the underground city that was built to keep the people in the city safe from the destructive forces of dreams released on the surface above. It looks like this is your new home now. -The Full Premise- |
A multifandom, multiverse RPG. Open to an OU/AU/GB of each character. Het/Yuri/Yaoi Friendly A Mod plot each month. Reservations are open. Applications being taken. |

 Only moments ago, it was an ordinary day, maybe. Maybe it was the best day of your life - or the worst. In the end it doesn't matter, because now you're trembling on your knees, and when you open your eyes, all you see is a wash of blue light over the cold floor below you. Looking around, you take in the metal door before you, and the semicircle of glass walls to your sides and behind you, each looking out at a deep blue expanse of lit and endless ocean. Cold air bites you like a thousand tiny needles prickling over every inch of skin. You realize you're naked just before someone drapes a robe over your back. You look up into the smiling face of a man in a lab coat saying "Good Morning." He says, "Welcome to your new home." ✝ ✝ ✝ NEREIDE is a new panfandom game combining elements of science fiction, fantasy and horror in an underwater, post-apocalyptic setting. Characters are free to seek a normal life, or begin investigations into the dark underbelly of their new, seemingly idyllic new home. |
Guy: Awww, man, did you hear? Billy's in the hospital!
Girl: Oh no! What happened?
Guy: He only ate bananas and pop for like two weeks straight.
Girl: Shit, that sucks. Poor Billy!

Hi everyone!
I am working on a story where the main character A is a transitional deacon in a Catholic parish in New York City. (He has completed the seminary studies already, just hasn't been ordained a priest yet.)
Now, A knows character B from their seminary days together. They were pretty good friends but haven't seen each other since they left the seminary. The current plot is that A attends a church conference in another city, which B's church is hosting. (B can be a priest or a deacon, doesn't matter.) SOMEHOW (I don't know how yet) A is asked by B's parish to stay there for a few days after the conference ends. And when he does return to his own parish, SOMEHOW (again) B comes back with him for the purpose of visiting.
My questions:
1. What kind of conferences exist for Catholic church parishes in America? What goes on there?
2. What kind of "official" business can A be conducting in the scenario listed above to stay in another city?
3. What kind of "official" business can B get sent on to visit A's parish?
Any help/insight would be greatly appreciated! :D
