jakes wife expertly held the mike back from her face and the noises ceased .
zander and devlin had tried to stop us and wroth had even attempted to step in and talk to me .
`` i do n't want to , '' he said , practically growling .
`` talk to me about hating this place after you 've been dismembered , '' said tim .
living well was the best revenge , was n't it ?
i am sober as can be , and i cant go to bed smelling and feeling like ive been working at the farm all day .

he dragged me behind the building , and '' -i hold out my busted arm- '' the ass kicking ensued .
`` that girl 'll be dead soon , '' she said .
he raised his glass and smiled at her through gritted teeth .
theres nothing wrong with missing him .

she stepped backwards .
she never did know what time he arrived home that night because she was asleep just after midnight , but the next morning she knew he had returned to his old ways : she found him stretched out on the living room sofa , reeking of stale alcohol and cigar smoke .
the clerk looked so relieved when she handed over her big zippered shopping bag , she wondered if the store would be closed from now on when the others usually came to the plaza .

`` if you hate it here so much , '' talon asked , `` why did you agree to come ? ''
i like going into a situation where i know i 'm going to be told what to do and i do n't have to think .
pushing the air-dried hair back from my face , i averted my gaze when his eyes found mine , his fingers messing with the tuning pegs .
then , as the inevitable fun thought found substance in her north shore party-mode mind , and , encouraged by the example of her always questionable role model , pop singer madonna , who was only six weeks younger than herself , charles , in her well-coiffed head , thought : well , what the freakin hey !
`` we 're talking black magic ? ''
`` because she deserves better .
i tucked my hand under my desk , hiding my artwork .
i couldnt believe her !
`` you 're just saying that because i 'm decked out in something other than a sack , '' she teased him , even though her heart ached with the cost of her newfound confidence .
covert recruit .
`` dad ? ''
over the years he had seen her deal with much tougher hombres coming on to her than an aging rock n roll musical genius .

Trousseau sign of latent tetany is a medical sign observed in patients with low calcium. From 1 to 4 percent of normal patients will test positive for Trousseau's sign of latent tetany. This sign may be positive before other manifestations of hypocalcemia such as hyperreflexia and tetany, as such it is generally believed to be more sensitive (94%) than the Chvostek sign (29%) for hypocalcemia. To elicit the sign, a blood pressure cuff is placed around the arm and inflated to a pressure greater than the systolic blood pressure and held in place for 3 minutes. This will occlude the brachial artery. In the absence of blood flow, the patient's hypocalcemia and subsequent neuromuscular irritability will induce spasm of the muscles of the hand and forearm. The wrist and metacarpophalangeal joints flex, the DIP and PIP joints extend, and the fingers adduct. The sign is also known as main d'accoucheur (French for "hand of the obstetrician") because it supposedly resembles the position of an obstetrician's hand in delivering a baby. History The sign is named after French physician Armand Trousseau, who described the phenomenon in 1861. It is distinct from the Trousseau sign of malignancy, which is a type of abnormal blood clot due to certain types of cancer. References Symptoms and signs: Endocrinology, nutrition, and metabolism

The Lincoln Statue is an historic structure located on the grounds of the Greene County Courthouse in Jefferson, Iowa, United States. It was erected in 1918, and individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. In 2011 it was included as a contributing property in the Jefferson Square Commercial Historic District. History This was the first statue of Abraham Lincoln built beside, and dedicated to, the Lincoln Highway. The statue is a replica of W. Granville Hastings' statue in Cincinnati, Ohio, and was a gift of Mr. and Mrs. E.B. Wilson. The bronze statue is life size, and it stands on a two-tiered concrete base. The lower base features a pebblestone finish, and the upper portion is faced with of granite. A bronze plaque with the closing paragraph of Lincoln's second inaugural address is affixed to the upper portion of the base. The Wilsons decided to donate the statue when the present courthouse was completed in 1917. Because they had no children they reasoned they should give something substantial to the community. The Greene County Board of Supervisors agreed to pay half the cost of the base. The Bureau Brothers Foundry of Philadelphia was contracted to create the statue, and they included the plaque at no expense. It was originally planned that the statue would stand atop a base of pink granite from Pipestone, Minnesota. However, because of World War I the War Industries Board, refused to permit the quarrying and carving the stone until the war was over. The Capitol Hill Monument Company of Des Moines erected a temporary concrete base for the statue's dedication on September 22, 1918. The "temporary" base was replaced in 1964. The Iowa State Highway Commission Service Bulletin and the Lincoln Highway Forum used a photograph of the new statue on the cover of their publications in 1918. The Lincoln Highway placed an image of the statue on its mission statement in 1920.

A native of Iowa, he was the 25th associate justice of the Oregon Supreme Court serving from 1876 until 1878.

Bochkivtsi (; ) is a village in Chernivtsi Raion, Chernivtsi Oblast, Ukraine. It belongs to Toporyvtsi rural hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine. Until 18 July 2020, Bochkivtsi belonged to Khotyn Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Chernivtsi Oblast to three. The area of Khotyn Raion was merged into Dnistrovskyi Raion. However, Bochkivtsi, together with Hrozyntsi and Kolinkivtsi, belonged to Toporyvtsi rural hromada, based in Novoselytsia Raion. After the reform, these villages were transferred to Chernivtsi Raion. References Villages in Chernivtsi Raion Khotinsky Uyezd
