International ClassG01N 25/00DescriptionFIELD OF THEINVENTION The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for monitoring substances and in particular monitoring uniformity in a mixture to ensure proper blending. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Effusivity is a measurement that combines thermal conductivity, density, and heat capacity. The effusivity of a material (sometimes called thermal inertia) is the square root of the product of the thermal conductivity, density and heat capacity. The effusivity of your hand and the object it touches determines the interfacial surfacetemperatures of your hands. If the effusivity of a material is high-as with ceramic, the interfacial temperature is lower than if the effusivity is lower-as with wood. This is why a wood floor feels warmer than a ceramic floor, and why a carpeted floorfeels warmer still. As a natural characteristic of materials, each has a different effusivity from the other. Effusivity is sensitive to composition in view of the fact that materials differ in value from 5 Ws1/2/m2K for air to several thousand foradvanced composites. In order to measure effusivity, a suitable probe such as that provided for U.S. Pat. No. 5,795,064, issued Aug. 18, 1998, to Mathis, may be used, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference. In the pharmaceutical industry, when powdered components are blended during drug production, time is a critical factor. Typically, when a drug formulation is developed, bench-scale amounts are synthesized and subsequently scaled up through aseries of steps to 1000 kg blending equipment. One of the key limitations in the field is that optimum mixing time of the components has to be established by trial and error. Blending for an insufficient amount of time fails to mix the samples, whileover blending causes segregation. It is also a significant problem that over blending is time consuming and the added frictional heat can thermally damage the sensitive components in the mixture. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an improved method and apparatus for monitoring substances The methodology disclosed herein permits the testing of fluids, solids, powders and pastes. Blend uniformity, homogeneity, miscibility, concentration, voiding/delamination, and moisture content are exemplary of the applications to which thepresent methodology is applicable. The instant methodology permits an on-line, in situ, real-time measurement to determine the optimum blending time. In accordance with one aspect, the present invention seeks to improve the blending art, and, by the present methodology, many of the significant limitations, particularly those realized in the pharmaceutical industry, are overcome. In accordance with aspect of the present invention there is provided a method of monitoring blending in a mixture containing a plurality of components compositions to be mixed, the steps of: providing a first composition and a second composition, each having a diffrent effusivty; mixing the first composition and the second composition; measuring one or more than one first effusivity in the mixture during mixing; after the measuring step, further measuring one or more than one second effusivity in the mixture during the mixing; determinig the relative deviation between the first effusivity and the second effusivity; and determining blend uniformly in dependence upon correlating the relative deviation to a predetermined value. In accordance with another aspect of the present invention there is provide a method of monitoring a material comprising the steps of measuring effusivty of a first portion of the material, measuring effusivity of a second portion of thematererial and statistically comparing each measurement. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The present invention will be further understood from the following detailed description with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: FIG. 1 graphically illustrates representation of the effusivity for eight different materials; FIG. 2 graphically illustrates effusivity as a function of time during blending of eight components of FIG. 1; FIG. 3 graphically illustrates effusivity as a function of time where the time-scale of FIG. 2 is enlarged to show variations of effusivity; FIG. 4 graphically illustrates relative standard deviation of effusivity as a function of blend time for the blending of FIG. 2 and FIG. 3; FIG. 5 illustrates in a block diagram apparatus in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 6 illustrates an apparatus similar to that of FIG. 5, with the sensors arranged in an array in accordance with a second embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 7 illustrates a sensor array for non-planar surfaces in accordance with a third embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 8 illustrates the apparatus of FIG. 6 with the sensor array of FIG. 7; and FIG. 9 illustrates apparatus similar to that of FIGS. 5, 6 and 8 in accordance with a fourth embodiment of the present invention. Similar numerals denote similar elements throughout the drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring to FIG. 1 there is graphically illustrated component effusivity where effusivity is illustrated as a function of the material. Eight components of a commercially available formulation were tested to determine if the effusivity values were distinct enough to permit differentiation. Several grams of each material were placed in a vial and each point on the graphical illustrations in FIGS. 2, 3, and 4 were the result of triplicate testing conducted on one aliquot from the vial. The triplicate tests had an average relativestandard deviation of 0.6%. Two aliquots were tested and the variance between the two was under 6.1%. Two colour/dye components were indistinguishable, but the next closest effusivity value was 225% higher. The effusivity spanned from 180 to over 600 Ws1/2/m2K, thus indicating that effusivity of a blend of these components would besensitive to uniformity. The components discussed above were subsequently blended and samples extracted at times from 2 minutes through 60 minutes. Referring to FIG. 2 there is graphically illustrated effusivity as a function of time during blending of eight components of FIG. 1. FIG. 2 tabulates the testing results. Each point on the graph is the result of triplicate testing from onealiquot from the vial. The triplicate had an average relative standard deviation of 0.6% which was exactly in agreement with the component testing phase. The trend in the average results is to increase and then level off. Two aliquots were tested andthe variance between the two ranged from 6.4% down to 0%. Referring to FIG. 3 there is graphically illustrated effusivity as a function of time where the time-scale of FIG. 2 is enlarged to show variations of effusivity. FIG. 3 shows the time scale in the first 15 minutes of blending. The dataillustrates the six individual results rather than the average. The first sample drawn at 2 minutes had a large scatter in the results due to the non-uniformity in the blend. As time progresses towards 15 minutes, it is evident from the convergence ofmaximum and minimum curves that the repeatability improves and is an indication of the uniformity. Referring to FIG. 4, there is graphically illustrated relative standard deviation of effusivity as a function of blend time. The minimum in FIG. 4 at approximately 15 minutes is indicative of a uniform blend. While relative standard deviationis plotted in the graph of FIG. 4, other statistically appropriate mathematical analyses of the measurements could be used that would yield relative deviation of measurements as will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art. Referring to FIG. 5, there is schematically illustrated an embodiment of the apparatus that could be used for the instant application. The blending apparatus is represented by a piece of blending equipment, for example a V-blender 12, modifiedby including three probes near the bottom of the V-blender, or more particularly, at the vertex of the blender and up the sides of the blender. The probes are coupled to a circuit 16, as is set forth in the U.S. Pat. No. 5,795,064. The circuitsubsequently interfacing with a CPU, broadly denoted by numeral 18. As an option, the apparatus 10 may include a plurality of probes (i.e. more than three), the other probes are not shown in FIG. 5 with the probes being positioned at different locationson the body of the V-blender. Where a plurality of probes 14 is incorporated, the information from the probes may be gathered simultaneously, i.e. each probe may simultaneously send its information to the CPU via the circuit 16 or the results may be spread out over apredetermined time frame. In addition to determination of uniform blending as described herein above, the apparatus of FIG. 5, with multiple sensors as shown, can be used for determination of homogeneity of a substance, miscibility of substances. The apparatus of FIG. 5could also be used to provide relative concentration indications and may be calibrated to provide concentration measurements. Referring to FIG. 6, there is illustrated an apparatus similar to that of FIG. 5, with the sensors arranged in an array. If the sensors are arranged in a planar array 50 as illustrated, planar materials can be tested for uniformity of effusivityover a surface. In operation, the array 50 is positioned on a first position 52 where a first measurement is taken for a predetermined time period, the array 50 is then translated a distance 54 to a second position 56, where a second measurement is taken for thepredetermined time period. Measurements from each probe 14 could be taken individually then arranged or a total measurement from all the probes 14 could be taken. By moving the array around repeating the measurements, any differences between individual probes areameliorated through averaging. For horizontal surfaces gravity can be relied upon to provide a uniform pressure on the probe surface. Differences in the measurements over the surface can be correlated to physical differences through investigation ofcontributing factors. For example, if the planar material were plywood, variances in moisture content could be eliminated through separate moisture content tests using pin probes. Then dissection of the area showing a variance could proceed todetermine if a void, delamination or shortage of glue was evident. The resulting physical investigation could then be used to "calibrate" the effusivity variation range attributable to different physical defects. As mentioned in the above example, moisture content can affect the effusivity value, consequently the same planar array could be employed to check the moisture content of an otherwise substantially uniform surface. For example, a plasterboardwall could be checked without leaving pin marks, for moisture variations that might be used to determine readiness for purity or help locate a water leak. For such a non-horizontal application a uniform force would need to be applied to the array toensure consistency between positions. Referring to FIG. 7, there is illustrated a sensor array for non planar surfaces. By mounting the sensors 14 to form a flexible matrix a sensor array 60, can be used on curved surfaces. A similar effect may be possible through spring loading ofeach sensor, however the concern there would be the effect on measurements of variations in the loading of individual sensors. Fluidly coupled pistons supporting sensors would be able to be positioned without such variances as the hydraulic fluid 62communication between each piston to that of the other sensor support piston would ensure uniform pressure. Referring to FIG. 8, there is illustrated the apparatus of FIG. 6 with the sensor array of FIG. 7. One application for the probe array capable of conforming to a curved surface 70 would be the testing of vessels having hulls or fuselages wherestructural integrity is critical to their safe operation. For example, boats made of laminated material such as fiberglass reinforced polyester (GRP) may deteriorate over time due to delaminating or marine osmosis. With delaminating the individuallayers of glass fiber cloth may separate over time due to stresses the boat is subjected to. In the case of marine osmosis water forms pockets between the gel coat layer (the smooth outer finish) of the hull and the structural layers formed byfiberglass cloth and/or matt. The infiltration of water happens over time to these vessels not treated with epoxy resin below the waterline. Similarly, modern wooden boats built using wood laminates saturated with epoxy resin may have layers delaminate over time or may not be laminated properly during construction. The array could be used to test boats for either delaminating or moisture content in a manner similar to that for the planar material of FIG. 7. Again, some form of calibration of the array would be necessary for each application; such calibration is within the range of ordinary skill in the art. Similarly, the skin of an aircraft fuselage and wing surfaces could be checked for uniformity using the sensor array described herein above. Referring to FIG. 9, there is illustrated apparatus similar to that of FIGS. 5, 6 and 8. In the realm of substance homogeneity, there are also numerous applications for the apparatus 40 of FIGS. 5 and 6. For example apparatus 40, for monitoringthe condition of essential fluids used in machinery could be achieved by positioning a sensor or sensors in fluid containing vessels, such as engine sump 72 or transmission cases. Over time, measurements could be made to determine measurement changeswith a predetermined threshold or range indicating a need to change fluids in the case of a single sensor. For an array of sensors, oil in an engine sump could be checked as part of a startup routine to ensure sludge was not forming in the lower part ofthe sump, or that foreign fluids such as water or coolant, had not accumulated on top of the oil. Consequently. the present methodology facilitates the detection of flaws, imperfections, inconsistencies, or non-uniformities in materials having an effusivity value. In particular, by measuring the relative deviation in the effusivity ofvalues over time, it can be determined when optimum blending has occurred, in the case for blending. This methodology can be easily extrapolated to other industries; such as the integrated circuit manufacturing industry where delimitations between chiplayers is important. Although embodiments of the invention have been described above, it is not limited thereto and it will be apparent to those skilled in the art of numerous modifications form part of the present invention insofar as they do not depart from thescope of the invention as defined in the claims. * * * * * Other References

You mean like the "missile" thread?
You know, the thread where you went around calling everyone who so much as doubted that a missile was fired at a burning fertilizer plant government agents? The thread where you kept wanting to meet people face to face so you could "work things out" with them? Because it sure didn't seem like you gave much of a shit about the truth then; seemed like you were doing little more than chest-beating.
This whole "prove it *wasn't* a conspiracy" mindset is no different than that idiot cop in NYC who said "prove you *aren't* a terrorist."
There's a difference between wanting to know the truth, and attempting to make events fit one's worldview and passing it off as undeniable proof while insulting/accusing/threatening those who say otherwise.

A 28-year-old ex-con, Seven is trying to put his past behind him but soon finds the drug game all too tempting. When he meets another ex-con named Ditty, they consider a business deal where the payoff is big but the stakes are high, and possibly deadly.
Back in New York City, Seven was the seventh child. But here in Charlotte he's number one on every ladies' list. Even behind bars, he managed to sex a female corrections officer, who lost her job and found herself pregnant. Now Seven is out of the pen and back on the streets. A small-time dealer with big-time dreams, he's ready to take care of business -- for his baby, his baby's mother, his slammin' girlfriend, and his empty wallet. But first, he's got to play the game with the biggest pushers in town. He'll be a soldier for The Man. Then he'll rob the suckers blind before they figure out what's going down. Sure, it could get him killed. But Seven knows there are things in life worth living for -- and things worth dying for. And sometimes you can't tell the difference.

Why Ron Paul Never Fit in on Capitol Hill by Gary North
Submitted by stu2002 on Thu, 01/03/2013 - 10:13Gary North
Reality Check (Jan. 3, 2013)
This evening, Ron Paul will no longer be a member of Congress.
It has happened before. At the end of this day in January 1977 he was no longer a member of Congress. He had lost by 268 votes out of over 180,000. At the end of this day in 1985, he was no longer a member of Congress. He had resigned to run for the Senate. He did not get the nomination.
Twice he came back. There will not be a third time. He has other fish to catch.
I was on his staff in 1976. I saw Congress close-up. Once was enough. I explained why in 1977: "Confessions of a Washington Reject."
Ron Paul never fit in on Capitol Hill. There are reasons for this. Four reasons.
The ruling triumvirate on Capitol Hill are the same as in every other political capital in history: money, sex, and power. But there is one more: booze.
The problem is, these four are almost universal in their appeal. In what way is Congress different?
Because power is the biggie. If you get power, you can get the others.
The phrase "money, sex, and power" reflects a commercial sequence, not political. It is more Wall Street than Capitol Hill.

Services for Students with DisabilitiesBuilding, Facility, and Program Access Details Concerts & Other EventsOld Cabell HallTicket Office, 924-3984 Main Office, 924-3052 The concert hall in Old Cabell Hall is wheelchair accessible. Accessible seating is located in the Loge, which is the mid level of the Auditorium. When purchasing tickets, specify how many companions you will have so that appropriate seating can be provided for them as well. There are two wheelchair accessible entrances to Old Cabell Hall. 1. From the Lawn: There is a ramp which leads to the western doors of the lobby. 2. From the C1 parking lot behind Bryan Hall. Enter New Cabell Hall. Immedtiately on the left is a doorway to a push-button-operated lift. Once you have exited the lift, proceed up a short ramp and through a double door. Turn left and go through the first door on your right which leads to the courtyard. At the end of the courtyard ramp there is a door into Old Cabell Hall. Take the elevator to lobby-level "6". After exiting the elevator, turn left and go through a couple of doors to reach the loge wheelchair seating area. The elevator in Old Cabell Hall provides service to most floors of this building, including the level that has wheelchair seating (the lobby-level "6" ) the stage level, and the music library. The wheelchair accessible restrooms in Old Cabell Hall are located on the lobby level (6th floor) and the stage level (4th floor). Parking is available behind the Amphitheater in the C1 lot, on McCormick Road, and in the Parking Garage located on Emmet Street. University Hall & John Paul Jones ArenaSee detailed access information under Athletics. Newcomb HallCinematheque/Newcomb Hall Theater Box Office 924-7900 This movie theater is located in the basement of Newcomb Hall. The elevator to reach the movie theater is located to the left as you enter the Newcomb 1st floor foyer. This elevator only travels to the basement and first floor levels. The other elevator in Newcomb Hall can travel to all floors except the 5th floor and the basement. There are a few spaces off the right aisle where a seat has been removed. This will allow an individual in a wheelchair to sit with his/her companions. There is also space in a few locations for two or more wheelchair users to sit together. The Newcomb Hall Theater and various meeting rooms within the Newcomb facility can provide closed captioning for the hearing impaired. University of Virginia Art Museum924-3592 A person using a wheelchair must enter the University of Virginia Art Museum from the parking lot in the back, which has handicapped parking available. The rear door can be opened by a ground pad automatic opener. The elevator is just inside the door and provides access to all floors of the museum without additional assistance. There is an accessible restroom in the museum. Currently the Architecture building behind the Museum is under renovation construction. Please use designated museum parking areas (signs) to the side of Bayly drive and reserved areas in the parking lot (A6) across the street for visiting the museum. Handicapped parking will remain behind the museum. TheatersCulbreth and Helms Box Office 924-3376 When making reservations or purchases, advise the theater of your specific disability so they can make suitable accommodations. The box office is accessible via the set of 5 doors (one of which is automatic) at the front of the drama building. Culbreth Culbreth Theater sets aside six seats for use as disability seating. The designated seating permits a person using a wheelchair to sit beside or behind his/her companions. Access to the Culbreth Theater itself may be obtained in two ways: wheelchair access to the Culbreth lobby and theater is through the set of double doors to the left at the front entrance of the building. The theater can also be entered using the box office entrance (the right set of doors). To enter the theater from the box office, use the hallway beside the theater, following the tiled floor. A side door provides access to the theater. Ushers will assist those in need of assistance. Free headsets are available to assist people with hearing impairments. Request them at the concession stand. Accessible restrooms are in the Culbreth lobby. Helms The Helms is the smaller theater within the drama building. To enter, use the box office entrance (right set of 5 doors). Seating in the Helms varies with the production. Wheelchair and companion seating is available for each performance. Headsets are not available; however, the theater itself is much smaller, thus persons who have hearing impairments may be able to hear the actors. Ask an usher to direct you to the restroom behind the Helms as steps block access from the Helms to the main entrance in the Culbreth lobby. |

Investigators have solved the case of a mysterious smoking bag found aboard a plane flying out of the Moline airport.
Investigators say they found nothing suspicious in the bag.
They add that first responders must have seen and reported the residue of the airplane's fire suppression system.
The bag was discovered in the cargo area of the American Eagle plane, filled with smoke, when it landed at the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport back in January.

I-Flow, LLC, a Kimberly-Clark Health Care Company and manufacturer of the ON-Q Pain Relief System, has announced a new service for hospitals designed to reduce reliance on narcotics for post-surgical pain management and improve both the quality of care and financial outcomes.
I-Flow, LLC, a Kimberly-Clark Health Care Company and manufacturer of the ON-Q Pain Relief System, has announced a new service for hospitals designed to reduce reliance on narcotics for post-surgical pain management and improve both the quality of care and financial outcomes.
The ON-Q Take ACTION (Avoiding Complications Through Initiatives to reduce Overutilized Narcotics) program is an integrated, step-wise approach to help hospitals implement alternatives to opioids for post-surgical pain management. Until recently, post-surgical pain was primarily treated with narcotics, which data overwhelmingly suggest may pose risks of addiction and may cause undesirable side effects, longer hospital stays, unnecessary readmissions and increased potential for adverse drug events. These unwelcome side effects can have a significant impact on healthcare costs and can contribute to poor patient satisfaction. By combining financial assessments, best practice recommendations, innovative technology and outcomes measurement, the ON-Q Take ACTION program may help to reduce or eliminate unnecessary exposure to narcotics, improve post-surgical pain scores and decrease the overall cost of care.
"With increasing focus on minimizing excess cost, improving patient satisfaction and avoiding readmissions, it's essential for hospitals to explore alternatives to the standard narcotic treatment for post-surgical pain management," said Mark Kem, Principal, KEM Healthcare Solutions, LLC. "Non-narcotic solutions, supported by clinical research and outcomes, assist physicians and other care providers in managing their patients' pain with fewer side effects, which also contributes to faster recovery times and shorter hospital stays."
Using a hospital's own data, ON-Q Take ACTION can demonstrate the quality and financial improvements resulting from adoption of a non-narcotic pain management system. These improvements help hospitals align with many of healthcare reform's quality improvements, such as increased patient safety and overall cost reduction. The program includes:
- A financial assessment to estimate potential savings
- Implementation of the ON-Q Pain Relief System
- Outcomes measurement
- Personalized staff training and education
- Documentation and change management support
A key component of the ON-Q Take ACTION program is the use of the ON-Q Pain Relief System, a single-use, portable pump that delivers an automatic and regulated flow of local anesthetic through a specially designed catheter inserted near the patient's surgical site or in close proximity to a peripheral nerve. ON-Q reduces the reliance on narcotics to relieve pain following surgery, reduces many narcotic-related side effects and helps patients recover faster after surgery with less pain.
"Healthcare reform has created an economic and quality balancing act, forcing physicians and hospitals to reexamine their purchasing decisions for post-surgical pain management," said Price St. Hilaire, Global Director of Marketing, I-Flow, LLC. "Through the ON-Q Take ACTION program, we are able to address both the clinical and financial goals of hospitals by providing advanced technology, valuable insight and advice from experts who understand the needs of physicians and patients."

The Role of the Magnetite-Based Receptors in the Beak in Pigeon Homing
Current Biology, Volume 20, Issue 17, 14 September 2010, Pages 1534-1538
Roswitha Wiltschko, Ingo Schiffner, Patrick Fuhrmann and Wolfgang Wiltschko
SummaryMagnetite-containing structures in the upper beak of birds have been described as putative magnetoreceptors [1,2,3,4], but so far, all positive evidence indicating their influence on behavior has come from laboratory studies using rather unnatural stimuli (e.g., [5,6,7]). Here, we demonstrate these receptors' possible role in a natural situation: we released pigeons with these receptors deactivated by a local anesthetic within and outside a magnetic anomaly, together with untreated control birds. Within the anomaly, the untreated birds showed unusually long vanishing intervals and scattered bearings, indicating confusion by the anomalous magnetic conditions. Anesthesia of the beak suppressed this adverse effect. Outside the anomaly, in contrast, the treatment had little effect. These findings indicate that the receptors in the beak mediate magnetic "map" information and that this information is normally included in the navigational process yet can be replaced by nonmagnetic factors at most sites.

Pigeon Homing along Highways and Exits

SummaryBackground: Anecdotal observations and early airplane and helicopter tracking studies suggest that pigeons sometimes follow large roads and use landmarks as turning points during their homeward journey. However, technical limitations in tracking pigeon routes have prevented proof.Results: Here, we present experimental and statistical evidence for this strategy from the analysis of 216 GPS-recorded pigeon tracks over distances up to 50 km. Experienced pigeons released from familiar sites during 3 years around Rome, Italy, were significantly attracted to highways and a railway track running toward home, in many cases without anything forcing them to follow such guide-rails. Birds often broke off from the highways when these veered away from home, but many continued their flight along the highway until a major junction, even when the detour added substantially to their journey. The degree of road following increased with repeated releases but not flight length. Significant road following (in 40%–50% of the tracks) was mainly observed from release sites along northwest-southeast axis.Conclusions: Our data demonstrate the existence of a learned road-following homing strategy of pigeons and the use of particular topographical points for final navigation to the loft. Apparently, the better-directed early stages of the flight compensated the added final detour. During early and middle stages of the flight, following large and distinct roads is likely to reflect stabilization of a compass course rather than the presence of a mental roadmap. A cognitive (roadmap) component manifested by repeated crossing of preferred topographical points, including highway exits, is more likely when pigeons approach the loft area. However, it might only be expected in pigeons raised in an area characterized by navigationally relevant highway systems.

- Olfaction plays many well-established roles in vertebrate sensory perception [1,2]. More controversial is the claim that olfactory cues underlie the large-scale geographic "map" sense used by birds and other vertebrates [3,4]. The most common procedure used to investigate the role of odors in avian homing is to experimentally produce anosmia and/or block access to natural odors [4,5]. Although by no means universal in their results, many of these experiments have shown disorientation and/or decreased homing success [6,7,8], generally interpreted as evidence for the olfactory map hypothesis. Here, in addition to control (CO) birds exposed to natural odors and birds deprived of odors ("no odor"; NO) during displacement to unfamiliar release sites, we included a group exposed to artificial odors ("novel odors"; NV) that could not provide navigational information [9]. Although all groups had access to natural odors at release sites, the vanishing bearings of NO birds were disoriented, whereas those of NV birds were homeward oriented and indistinguishable from those of CO birds. These findings show that odors, rather than providing navigational information, activate a nonolfactory path integration system.

Here's Ch 168-Pt 2-K&K
Yuri found Kome in the break room behind the bridge and the kid still hadn't bothered dressing since (as far as she knew) she, mar and Yuri were the only ones aboard the 'Angel'! Yuri took the mug she handed her and then unzipped her coveralls and stepped out of them. "Ugh! Oh Ka-Mi! Does it ever feel good to get those cruddy things off!" she kicking off her greasy coveralls.
"Why didn't you just take 'em off on the bridge?" asked Kome.
"Because these (she indicated her pink Eiderdown unmentionables) were all I was wearing underneath 'em!" answered Yuri. Kome shrugged.
"So? It's just us girls, ain't it?" retorted the strawberry blonde.
"Not anymore it ain't. Han's here and kami knows who else so-- pandas? Pandas on your undies? (Yuri giggled) Anyway er you'd better get dressed. (Kome made a face) Don't pout! It's still casual dress- no uniforms. Hurry and change and then bring in the coffee. Mar's dressed, I take it? (Kome nodded) The 'God Gun' clean? (Yuri was calling from her shower in the next door bedroom and Kome yelled 'Yeah!') OK. Arigatou." said Yuri.
Mar tossed the AXL grid onto the console before she saw Solo. "Konnichi wa, pirate. Anyone else back?" asked the pert blonde.
"Hiya, Blondie. I saw Zoe and Leila in the galley below. Rally, Blue and Keisie are at the bar. Dunno about the rest. Sorry ya had to cut your leave short, kiddo. I know ya wanted to visit those 'Ryzelian Caverns' real bad. 'Reds' better have a damned good reason for dragging me away from my shimatta honeymoon!" said Han Solo.
"It really is most important, Colonel Solo, let me assure you. Nice to see you again, Lt. Angel." said Kaltrox, the Gallifreyan time lords' agent who they all knew as Tommy Tanaka. "The Boss is due back here in another couple of hours. Anyone tell you guys who is with her?" asked Tommy. Both Han and Mar shook their heads. "One of the two 'Guardians of the Universes'- the 'White Guardian'. Just remember- you did not get this from me but he's gonna take the 'Angel' back to 2140 'Dagabah' and the Boss Lady's firing the 'Key of Time' with that thing of yours into the rift Keisie made. That's why Keisie and Bimbo (Yuyu) are coming along- O'Halloran's gotta hit the exact same spot that Keisie hit back in 2140. after that we clear out back to 2251 and hope! That's about it, guys. I'm here to ferry home whoever cannot get home on their own afterwards. See ya at breakfast." said Tanaka, leaving the bridge.
"It's actually 'General', Tommy me old boyo." drawled Han Solo good naturedly.
At 0650 hours, Kei O'Halloran trilled 'CC' to open the 'Angel 2's' airlock for her to dock the 'Raphael' which he did allowing Kei to dock in Bay 1-A. Then she stepped off the craft closely followed by Mugghi and Nammo.
"C'mon Whitey! Shake a leg! Welcome aboard! This is my 'Lovely Angel 2' and we'll lift off just as soon as my crew gets here. Bar's in the rec room on Level 2. Relax and have a drink, tomo. I'll trill you when we're ready to split. See ya." said the Boss and she headed for the lift. She rode up to the bridge with Mugghi and Nammo in tow. She found nobody on either the bridge nor in the nav room, however, in the break room she did find Kome sitting at the table and drinking java. The strawberry blonde teen was still in her hot pink 'panda' unmentionables!
"Ensign! Ten-Shun! (Kome leaped to her feet, snapped to attention and saluted) This is not a dorm room back at the academy dammit! I want you fully clothed and at your Kami shimatta post in ninety seconds! Got it?" roared Kei.
"Yes, ma'am! Sorry for my appearance, ma'am! It won't happen again, ma'am!" yelled the teen, racing for the lift.
"Oro's with all the shimatta shouting, Kome? It's not even seven yet!" cried an angry Yuri, running into the breakroom while still belting on her kimono.
"Yuri! A fine example to be settin' for Mar and Kome! I just sent the pink freak downstairs to get dressed and here you are upstairs and still parading around in a robe! As soon as the rest of the crew arrives we are lifting off for 2140 'Dagabah' dammit! Yuri? How's about going and getting some fuku on? Onegai?" sighed Kei.
"Which TARDIS we using?" demanded Yuri, pouring two javas and handing one to Kei.
"Neither one. Whitey er Mr. White, the er 'White Guardian of the Universes' is gonna transport us and the 'Angel' back there to 2140. Where the Hell's Mar? Never mind. Yuri, after you're dressed, onegai do a quick roll call and trill me when the gang's all here. I'll be in my cabin on three. Go." said Kei, stepping aboard her express lift.
Yuri sighed heavily and followed her example, stepping aboard her own express lift and at 0715 hours, she trilled the Boss lady that their crew was at last complete.
"Hey Whitey! Our crew's ready to go. Should I lay in a course for 'Dagabah'?" asked Kei. She had found White at the bar 'Shirley Temple' in one hand and a joystick in the other. He was playing a game of 'Gooze Zombies II' and having himself a blast.
"Go ahead, my dear and make it so. How long will the trip take?" he asked without looking up.
"Mar? Oro's our ETA at 'Dagabah'? 'Kronos' is in the East near 'Sasuke City'. Well?" trilled the Boss impatiently.
"A week if we're lucky, Boss. otherwise at least a month, man." trilled Marlene Angel.
White nodded to the redhead. "Engage and energize. I'll be right up so start the countdown. Kei out." she trilled and turned to her newest passenger. "Be sure to strap yourself into one of these crash seats, Whitey. We're about to lift off, man." cautioned the firebrand Hellcat.
"Very well, Miss O'Halloran. I cannot get beyond Level Three anyway." he replied with a sigh and tossed down his joystick. Upstairs Legato Bluesummers had both hands wrapped around the 'Angel's' joystick when Kei jogged onto the bridge and strapped herself into one of the observers' seats. Giving a curt nod to Mar she ordered the countdown to continue. Mar nodded.
"Go, shi, san, ni, ichi, rei. Liftoff. All thrusters to max. Cy, engage warpcore. Take us to warp 2.8 and prepare for hyperthrust on my mark. Here we go. Energize." said the coolly efficient blonde navigator and jill of all trades. The huge starship lifted clear of the tower bays and rocketed Westwards towards the 'Gyrol Mountains' and Mar breathed a sigh of relief. An hour later with 'Mount Hakurei' below them, Mar called Engineering.
"Prepare for hyperthrust, Cy. San, ni, ichi, rei and--Mark." she trilled and struck the 'Hyperthrust' panel on her console. The stars became the familiar lines of starlight while the 'Angel' accellerated. "Hold at Warp 4.8, Cy. Now we cruise like this until we sight the 'Tamari-Hinata Singularity'. Three more days if we're real lucky and a whole week if we hit a 'Tachyion Beam Particle' storm. I'm putting us on 'George' so we can all take five, man." added the pert blonde.
"OK, you can unstrap now, Whitey and go back to 'Gooze Zombies'. Breakfast in ten minutes." said Kei into her PA mike. Then she tapped Yuri's shoulder. "Tell me we got some cooks aboard?" she pleaded hopefully and Yuri nodded.
"Zoe, Leila, Jamie Wilson and Goat Smith are down in the galley but we don't have any waitresses this time, Boss." replied the commodore.
"That's OK, kiddo. (Kei spoke into her PA mike again) Spike Miroku, Rally Vincent and Minnie Mae Hopkins- report to the galley immediately. Two of you start setting tables. The other's the order taker. Move it." commanded the admiral.
"Who's gonna do the washing up, your royal highness?" whispered Yuri.
"You and Kome. Whitey can help out too." answered Kei.
"Oro! You Celtic fruitcake! You can't put a 'Guardian of the Universes' on KP dammit!" exploded Yuri.
"This is 'my' ship, Yuri and he is on it. I can make him do whatever the Hell I want him to do, you Gaelic goofball!" countered her CO with a vengeance.

1 in 143. These are your odds that your home will be broken into this year, according to national FBI data. Nearly 3/4 of all burglaries are residential, and one occurs every 14.4 seconds. However, according to a university study, homeowners in Westport with home alarm systems, such as those with ADT monitoring, improve their odds, making their homes up to 3 times less likely3 to experience a burglary. Helping protect your home immediately makes your chances closer to 1 in 429.
Break-ins are more costly to Westport residents than what you'd spend on an ADT monitored home security system.
