UPDATED! Herc Gave Away A Copy Of The LOST Dharma Initiation Kit In BLU-RAY!!
The winner is @nosilentmoments! Thanks to everybody who spent the last two days staring at their computer screens! And stay tuned for many more cool contests in the days and weeks to come!
I am – Hercules!!
All you have to do is:
1) "Follow" me on Twitter.
2) Constantly monitor my Twitter account between 5 a.m. Monday (Feb. 15) and 11 p.m. Tuesday (Feb. 16) Pacific Time. At some point during this window I will post a contest question on my Twitter account. The first to correctly answer via Twitter this question AFTER I pose it via Twitter will get his or her own copy of Lost: The Complete Fifth Season Dharma Initiative Orientation Kit on Blu-ray.
THE QUESTION HERC WILL POST ON TWITTER: "Penelope Widmore Hume is not the only individual fathered by Charles Widmore. Name one other."
IMPORTANT!! Your Twittered answer MUST begin with @hercAICN. Don't screw this up!
IMPORTANT!! If you answer the question BEFORE I post the question in Twitter you will be automatically disqualified.
IMPORTANT!! This contest is only available to residents of the United States.
IMPORTANT!! If you win, immediately forward Herc your shipping address and phone number: firstname.lastname@example.com. If you fail to do so within 24 hours, Herc will assign the prize to another.
Contestants are free to unfollow me post-contest, but it might behoove them to remain following for two reasons:
1) I'm not a Twittering fiend. I've tweeted fewer than 600 times since I set up the account last April.
2) I'm going to be giving away a lot more supercool prizing via that account in the coming days and weeks. And I may be announcing these contests only on Twitter.
Not sure this prize is for you? Find my Dec. 8, 2009 review of the Season Five Dharma Initiation Kit here.
Again, I will update this post after the winner wins.
Follow Herc on Twitter!!
"Fringe: Season One" on Blu-ray, $47.99 in December and $42.99 in January, is momentarily $24.99!!
"Farscape: The Complete Series," $129.49 last year, is momentarily $59.99. That works out to less than $15 per season!!

You really expect us to constantly monitor your Twitter for 11 months? I mean, I'm a big Lost fan but, hell, the show will be old news by then ;)
Feb. 15, 2010, 7:12 a.m. CST
Agreed. 11 months is too long.
by Hercules
I've updated to narrow that window a tiny bit.

Fuck Twitter...
by kells
No bullshit giveaway is going to make me suck up to the lamest technological development in human history. Like I need to know when some fat fuck is taking dump while he's doing it. Fuck Twitter, fuck anyone on twitter, and fuck anyone who actually gives a shit about twitter.
Feb. 15, 2010, 7:43 a.m. CST
Wouldn't it be hilarious if "kells" wins?
by Hercules
And his rant was intented to dissuade potential competitors?
 If so? Well played, sir!
Feb. 15, 2010, 7:47 a.m. CST
kells deserves to win it right now
by TheManWhoCan
for calling twitter for what it really is! a saddo blog for middle age to old gay celebs like Stephen Fry and Ian Mckellen
Feb. 15, 2010, 8:03 a.m. CST
yeah I agree that twitter blows
by daveyf
Wonder why so many people like it. I think it's a fad and that facebook will win the social networking thingy war.
Feb. 15, 2010, 8:27 a.m. CST
Ooh just going to buy some bread..lol
by theGoldbergV
typical tweet. Yeah its bullshit and for people who are constantly on their Blackberrys, drink Starbucks coffee and use words like "Ciao" and "proactive" and "fabulous". In other words, total fucking twats. And yes, I want to win.

I'm Not Joining Twitter For This
by Crow3711
But the question is easy enough...he's also Daniel Faraday's father. Can I just win now since clearly no one is going on twitter to win this?
Feb. 15, 2010, 8:37 a.m. CST
by Crow3711
I hope I didn't ruin the contest. I wasn't really thinking
Feb. 15, 2010, 8:38 a.m. CST
im following hope to win
by shamon
really need this in my blu ray set .
Feb. 15, 2010, 8:51 a.m. CST
Crow3711, I don't think the answer was a secret
by jim
If Hercules didn't want the answer coming out before he posted the question on Twitter, he wouldn't have posted it here first.
Feb. 15, 2010, 8:51 a.m. CST
Since I'm ignoring BLU-RAY!
by daggor
will you have a contest where you you post a question on a much older, yet still fully functional and relevant medium like, oh, say.. a web page, an send the winner S5 on DVD?
Feb. 15, 2010, 8:57 a.m. CST
FYI The answer is Daniel Faraday
by CmdX
Son of Charles Widmore and Eloise Hawking and half-brother of Penny Hume (Born Penelope Widmore)
Have fun!

keep your stupid box set
by TheManWhoCan
Ive torrented every episode since the show started and there all on one hard drive or another. Im a big lost fan but i also have a life as well and by the time im feeling nostalgic enough to rewatch it from the begining (when they stop syndicating the show ST:TNG style daily on every other TV station for the next 10 years) the entire 6 series will probably be avalable on some sort of futuristic crystaline format like the one superman uses in his house. Even then id just borrow the discs of a friend and never give them back!
Feb. 15, 2010, 9:28 a.m. CST
Fuck Twitter & Blu ray
by Seth Cohen
twitter is fucking retarded, just ask john mayer... and ill stick it out with dvds until streaming becomes the norm... not investing in more hard copies that will become obsolete in 5 years when the studios realize that it much more cost effective to allow their media to be streamed.
Feb. 15, 2010, 10:01 a.m. CST
Fuck Twitter.
by the_patriot
People can't even fully articulate a complete and coherent thought as it is - I sure as blue fuck do not need idiocy the size of a text message about what people are eating or how they just got drunk. It's easier to buy the damned box set. Thanks though.
Feb. 15, 2010, 10:11 a.m. CST
sorry Herc - no Tweets for YOU!
by Kaiser Soze
I'm just going to go ahead and quote the eloquent Eric Cartman and say, "Da Fuck, man? Da fuck?" Dude, seriously, you're trying to encourage the retarded insanity that is twitter? That crap is for little girls that are away from their cell phones and just can't stand not talking about bullshit. Seriously, they're all a bunch of friggin Twitheads broadcasting the mundane details of their lives like we really give a steamy shit. Dude, don't promote that, that ain't right.
Feb. 15, 2010, 10:19 a.m. CST
has anyone seen that documentary series..
by emeraldboy
on the bbc called virtual revolution. which is all about the rise of the internet. saturdays show was all about Companies like google are shaping the world. Stephen fry has been this show. he was an avid user of twitter, untill there was a backlash against him. so he george fleed away from twitter as fast as he could.
Feb. 15, 2010, 10:20 a.m. CST
In fact, that's their new name

Anyone mentally deficient enough to use twitter is a complete and utter TWITHEAD! And they should be forced to walk through society wearing a shirt that reads "Twit Happens" with an arrow pointing up toward their sad, pahtetic, ugly mugs.

the twitter hate
by Bouncy X
i too think its pointless but only because i have a facebook account and can do the EXACT SAME THING on there. so while i understand those who only have twitter, its the people who have everything i question. i mean hell even myspace jumped on the "update" bandwagon. so i dont understand why twitter's become so popular. least on facebook if you wanna share your bowel movements, you're not limited to a 10 word sentence and can detail it in full glory. but yeah it really is a pointless program, all you can do is post updates? that be like hotmail changing and making it so you can only send subject titles. if you feel the need to share your boring life with others, at least use a program that offers you more choice and things to play with.

out of curiosity
by Ogmios_the_Eloquent
who decides when the constests are US only? And what is the reasoning behind the decision? i understand shipping to pal territories would be kinda pointless but why no love for Canada? is it cuz we smell or something? ABC policies? Herc's choice? AICN's? i'm not complaining, i know most contests includ us... i'm just curious.
Feb. 15, 2010, 11:09 a.m. CST
I could never discuss LOST on Twitter

because it has more than 140 characters.

Ogmios the Eloquent
by Crow3711
It's about itnernational contest/prize laws. It really has nothing to do with someone deciding. The laws surrounding a contest/giveaway vary from country to country, making it a much more difficult thing to have an international contest, probably involving getting lawyers to tell you what you can and can't do, etc. Not worth it for such a relatively small contest.
Feb. 15, 2010, 11:14 a.m. CST
At Least I think
by Crow3711
I'm not saying I'm a lawyer or know the specifics or anything. I could be totally wrong, that has just been my understanding in the past.
Feb. 15, 2010, 11:23 a.m. CST
thanks for the answer.
by Ogmios_the_Eloquent
makes a lot of sens. but how come some contests are open to everyone, some only to North americans and some only to US residents? surely it has to do with the policies of one of the company involved in the contest
Feb. 15, 2010, 11:28 a.m. CST
I think it just has to do with shipping prices
by buffywrestling
but that's me personally. And I LOVE twitter. It's perfect for an "instant information" junkie like myself. I read more than I tweet but it is often hilarious (Kevin Smith getting thrown off a plane; Simon Pegg/Nick Frost/Edgar Wright riffs, etc.) and sometimes relevant (Iran protests, breaking news, etc.). The thing about twitter is you get to choose what type of feed you want. Like smarty, space stuff? Follow NASA or Stephan Hawking. Like funny? Follow Daily Show writers. Easy as pie. Those who don't like it are those who don't know how to use it properly, IMO.
Feb. 15, 2010, 12:36 p.m. CST
by thekylegassproject
i agree with much of what you say. and i hate twitter for how most people use it. but buffywrestling illustrates why it is good. it brings the news that YOU want to hear TO you. if you follow a certain writer or news correspondent, their tweets will let you know when they've posted something you may find interesting.
 and as far as facebook is concerned, again, there are many people using it like teenage girls. but it is good for those of us that, you know, have jobs and don't sit at own and go on tirades about social networking.

Feb. 15, 2010, 1:07 p.m. CST
thanks to the internet..
by emeraldboy
you to can set up a website, talk shite about films and even more shite about the your friends in the movie world. this website will rail against the industry on which the website is founded. and you can setup a comment board which serves no other purpose except people who really dont know each other have a right good go. the internet has done more strangulate the english language. how many times has there been a call for this site to have either a moderator or an editor button. and none has happened. finally about this site. wont mention this again but why didnt harry not put up the link about douglas slocombe. and yet when he put up the stuff about metropolis, people said that nobody cares about that film. the internet is undoubtedly one of the greatest technological inventions of the 20th century. but now I am starting to worry. 3d is taking over. first cinema, then tv, and now books schools.

Oh you whining old ladies
by gotilk
it's a web site. Get over yourselves. It's a great tool for keeping up with news that you'd find interesting. If you follow the right people. I'm sure for some it's a contest like Myspace used to be. But most of us use it as a time saver, not a time waster. Hey backlash, meet your blind, dumb bandwagoneers.
Feb. 15, 2010, 1:38 p.m. CST
by Acappellaman
That's how we affectionately (or not so affectionately) refer to the social networking sites. Unfortuntely, I HAVE to use them for portions of my job. I'd rather not, but c'est la vie. Until now I didn't actually have a Twitter account, but I set one up just for the contest. I'll drop it like a hot potato as soon as it's done though. I predict Twitter will be old news within a year and a half. I really don't care for the concept, for the same reasons many people have stated here. For the Blu-ray set, though, I'll do it.
Feb. 15, 2010, 1:42 p.m. CST
Why can't the contest just involve AICN?
by SithMenace
Twitter is for douches Herc, and you know it. Obviously there's something in it for you by putting your contests through Twitter.

Idiots buying bread

by gotilk
because we never see it. Because we never follow those people. Please, if you are going to criticize a technology, try to learn SOMETHING about it or you look like a joke.

You don't have to hear it. Honestly. Everything has settings so you can you know, set things to your preference.
 That said, join twitter and follow me & Meglos. I give good drunk tweets (I'm not sure what Meglos gives.)

I'm catching up via Hulu ... frustrating
by ReportAbuse
I'm working my way through Season 1 right now a minute at a time thanks to my WiFi connection (watch - buffer - watch - buffer), but the really frustrating part is the way the plot seems to continually rely on characters doing kinda dumb things like refusing to communicate common sense information to each other and so forth. Hey, we saw something weird, let's NOT tell any of the others so to keep the mystery going a while longer ... Hey, I discovered a cave full of water let's ALL immediately move up there RIGHT NOW! Umm, how 'bout just sending someone up to fetch water now and then when we need it? No, don't anyone ask that. Hey, I'm gonna go circumambulate the island all by myself! Sure, that's a good idea, don't anybody go with him or anything. Hey, I wanna go on an authentic Aboriginal walkabout but I can't 'cause they won't let me on the TOUR BUS. Hello, grab a cab or hitch a ride and have 'em drop you off by yourself somewhere. Nope can't do that. Etc.

by ByTor
Twitter is a dumb way to do this. I answered the second it came in to my phone, but after it sent the reply it showed a 2-minute difference between the two.
 Herc, I think random luck is better than relying on the vagaries of different net connections and Twitter implementations.

I totally agree. I've been watching for his post religiously during the past two days, and i replied the half second i saw him post, but my connection clearly wasnt fast enough. Herc, this contest should have been more accessible, especially for a show that is so fervently beloved by it's fans. You indirectly discriminated against those with slower internet connectivity, and put us at a disadvantage. It's your contest to run man. I'm just saying, give us a more equal and balanced shot at winning.

The Location
The Alexander Hotel is located on the southern tip of Cayman Brac just behind the local airport. Perched on a salt water lake, it serves as the gateway to the entire island and is the most convenient place to stay when exploring Cayman Brac.
The hotel faces east so the sun rises facing the hotel and moves over the pool area before setting in the west. Our cozy pool is surrounded by sand to give it the feel of a beach and the nicest beach in Cayman Brac is only a few minutes away from the hotel.
The Rooms
The rooms at the Alexander Hotel are what truly set us apart from other Cayman Islands hotels. Decorated with modern furniture, plush beds and a sophisticated style, you will feel like you are in a posh boutique hotel in any major city. Only when you look out the window you will see the beautiful waters of Cayman Brac and the Caribbean sun shining through your window.
All rooms are air conditioned and have a full kitchen stocked with all the utensils you might need during your stay with us. In the bathroom you will find the finest imported amenities by Lord & Mayfair. Our rooms are furnished with flat screen televisions with cable. There is free WiFi throughout the hotel so that you can stay connected and either get some work done without any distractions, or simply to brag about your discovery of the most peaceful place on Earth.
The food
Chef Errol Buckner has won numerous awards and is renowned in the Cayman Islands. Many locals from Grand Cayman choose to escape to The Alexander Hotel just to enjoy the fabulous cuisine and relax for a few days. Chef Buckner always chooses the freshest ingredients and works with local fisherman to ensure that guests of the Hotel Alexander can enjoy the best the island has to offer. Our menu has a wide selection of steaks, seafood and local delicacies. No matter what you choose, you can't go wrong.
The Experience
If you're looking for a large resort on the beach, The Alexander is not for you. We are an intimate boutique hotel with only 31 rooms. Visitors to The Cayman Islands come to the Alexander Hotel to escape the world for a while, soak up the sun, sit by the pool and enjoy fantastic food at the bar overlooking the lake. It is important to us that our guests explore everything Cayman Brac has to offer. By the time you leave you will have a true sense of what life on a sleepy Caribbean island is really like. But be warned, it's addictive!

The closed Cooper Tire Plant in Albany was sold for $8.5 million to an Illinois Real Estate company in a deal that could mean more jobs for the region.
Hilco Real Estate of Northbrook, Illinois bought the plant which shut down two years ago leaving 1,400 people out of work.
Cooper still uses 400 thousand square feet of the facility as a distribution center and will continue to lease that space from Hilco.
Hilco's Executive Vice President Richard Kaye tells us they hope to put one or more other tenants in the building.
They've already got some interest.
A portion of the structure will be torn down and redeveloped.

How Maryland Home Care Benefits Elder People
There are many things that aged people need, such as companionship, continuous medical care, and nursing care. Those things can normally be provided by their family members. Their children and grandchildren are expected to be able to give them proper care when they become old because they also have taken care of their children and grandchildren when the latter are still young. However, not all of their family members have enough time to take care of them because everyone who lives with them also needs to take care of anything else that is also important, such as his/her study or his/her job. For elder people who cannot get adequate amount of care from their family members, Maryland home care can provide them with such care.
There are several types of assistance that a home care provider can provide to them. The first is personal care and homemaking. As aged people who may have suffered particular diseases that significantly limit their physical ability, they certainly cannot fulfill their daily necessities by themselves. They may not be able to wash their clothes by themselves or they may not even eat their meals by themselves. Personal care is meant to help them fulfill those basic living necessities. The second is transportation assistance. Aged people need to go to some places to remove their boredom and to fulfill some of their important necessities. A home care provider can provide them with transportation assistance when they want to go to park or to a hospital to undergo regular checkup. The third is advanced nursing care. Some aged people can only stay at home. They may even be unable to go to their doctor to undergo medical checkup. The Advanced Nursing & Home Support services provided to them can solve their problem if they cannot leave their home to fulfill their important necessities.

Hi Lee666,
While trying to update to Nokia Belle with Nokia Suite, I get the error message "Service Unavailable". What should I do?
If you get this error message, please check if your Firewall allows Nokia Suite to connect to the internet. Check for example if you can access our server with your PC browser by trying to load http://nsc.update.nokia.com.
If everything is ok, your Internet Explorer should display a page showing "Error". Mozilla Firefox will show "HTTP 404 – web page can't be found" error message instead.
Note: Also make sure that you have activated the "automatic update" via Tools > Options.
Try this and hope it helps you to update to Belle.

Hi F1_fan, few comments:
- first, make sure that you have Nokia Suite 3.3.86 at least installed and in use. You can try to install the latest beta version of Nokia Suite from here ... To download the installer, you need to log-in with the SAME credentials that you use on this Forum. (you can see version number in top right corner of Nokia Suite)
- check, that Nokia Belle update is available for your product code (you can find list from here: http://europe.nokia.com/find-products/nokia-belle-
- In Nokia Suite, it's recommended to have Tools -> Options "Automatically download software updates" turned on (this way Nokia Suite downloads update packages in background to your PC, so update experience is smoother)
- Additionally, make sure, that if you have any firewall software in your PC, that Nokia Suite is allowed to connect to internet
- Additionally, you can in Nokia Suite Tools -> Software updates click "Refresh", then Nokia Suite checks for latest information from Nokia's server
Hope it helps.

Stolen Kisses Ch. 9Chapter 9: Letters and IdeasTwo months
it was difficult to appreciate just how long a month was until you had to wait anxiously through two of them. The New Year had come and now the second month of it was nearly over. Spring break was only a couple of weeks away and Sarah had no idea how she was going to spend it. Originally she had planned to stay on campus and spend as much time with Jareth as possible, but now that it had been two months since they'd seen each other with only one letter of reassurance from him, she wasn't sure.The letter had come in the middle of January tied with a ribbon around a single red rose. Sarah opened her desk drawer and took the letter out just then. It was worn and creased from how many times she'd unfolded it, read it, caressed the words 'I love you' at the bottom, and then re-folded it only to repeat the process about four more times a day. His flowing script helped to sooth her and give her courage until he could be there again, but th
Stolen Kisses Ch. 10Chapter 10: Impulse and Forethought"You can do this, Sarah," the young collegiate woman whispered to herself as she stood in front of the full-length mirror in the back of the theatre department. Everyone who was leaving for spring break had already left earlier that day, even Vivienne, and campus was silent. However the quiet was allowing for her brain to re-think her mission. Despite the fact that she'd been looking forward to this for the past two weeks, now that she was on the verge of doing it, her heart was pounding and her hands were shaking as she stood fidgeting in the long regency style dress she'd borrowed from the costume department. Thoughts kept running through her head like what if she couldn't get back? What if Jareth wasn't happy to see her at all? What if those problems he kept talking about had escalated and now the Underground was at war? It would explain why he hadn't been able to visit her.She took a shaky breath and tried to calm her nerves. She'd prepar
Stolen Kisses Ch. 5Chapter 5: TeaOne month seemed to take forever! It had been a grand total of twenty-two days and Sarah couldn't believe how much she missed the insufferable Goblin King. Her roommate Vivienne had asked several times who he was and why hadn't he come back around since, but Sarah had skillfully avoided answering fully.It was still a week before Thanksgiving break and in an attempt to take her mind off of Jareth, she'd been hanging out with her friends in the theater department, helping to build sets and sew costumes when necessary. Mostly she hung out with her friend Nate, who knew about her "boyfriend" but was kind enough to not press for information, unlike Vivienne. "Sarah, don't you think you've done enough?" he asked as she finished up the final touches painting a backdrop.She rose from her crouched position and wiped her brow, leaving a long blue streak of paint across her forehead. Nate chuckled, but didn't say anything. "No, I have been doing just the right amount of work than
Stolen Kisses Ch. 4Stolen KissesChapter 4: Wait**Warning: Lots of Adult type touching to coin a phrase from Lixxle**"Sarah," Sarah's roommate Vivienne whispered. No response. "Sarah!""Mmmm""Wake up!""Five more minutes, Viv. It's all nice and warm under here
""That's what I wanted to talk to you about.""Ugh
what time is it?" Sarah asked not opening her eyes."About seven.""In the morning? Jesus Christ, Viv! Too early!""Sarah! Did you know there's a guy in your bed?"At these words, Sarah's eyes popped open in alarm. "Say what?"Vivienne pointed behind her and Sarah turned her head to see a mop of blond hair sticking above the blanket. Now that she was awake, she could feel an arm draped over her waist and she could now comprehend why it was so warm and cozy, because she had Goblin King in her bed. The question was: when the hell had that happened?! "He wasn't there last
Stolen Kisses Ch. 11Chapter 11: ConsequencesJareth walked contentedly down a side street in the Goblin City. Darkness surrounded him as he moseyed along, smiling at the few goblins out at this hour; an action that thoroughly confused the goblins and sent them scurrying for cover. The actions of their king were most peculiar of late. It was almost as if he was
dare they think it, happy. However little did they know, the King was not happy. He was ecstatic, euphoric, exultant, walking on cloud nine. There were so many ways to describe how happy he was, but in all reality, none of it mattered. The only thing that mattered was that she'd said 'yes'.The Goblin King didn't notice the way his subjects scampered fearfully away. In fact, he didn't really notice much except for the way the stars seemed to shine a little bit brighter. He hummed to himself and let his feet lead the way down the cobblestone path. A small cloaked figure went unnoticed in an alleyway until it stepped out and addressed the
Stolen Kisses Ch. 6Chapter 6: Happy Thanksgiving!"Sarah, dear, could you please pull down the guest china from the cupboard?" Karen's voice called from the kitchen where she'd been all morning preparing the 'perfect' Thanksgiving dinner.Sarah sighed and walked into the kitchen. The cupboard in question sat above the countertop and was used to house the 'special company' plates and glasses. She dragged a chair over to reach properly as Karen bustled about tasting the gravy and adding more cream to the mashed potatoes. "I'd ask your father to get them, but he and Toby went to the airport to pick up your Aunt Helena," Karen commented while stirring the cream into the mashed potatoes."That's fine, I needed something to distract me anyway," Sarah replied stepping up on the chair and reaching into the cupboard to pull out the plates and set them down on the countertop.Karen glanced over at her stepdaughter, the tension in her frame easy to discern. "When can we expect your guest to arrive, Sarah?" K
Stolen Kisses Ch. 1Stolen Kissesby: Ismira DaugeneChapter 1: A New GameIt was hours after all of his citizens had left the impromptu party in her room when Jareth bent down to peer at the sleeping mortal before him. She lay on her bed still dressed in the clothes she'd worn when she'd defeated him. Her hair was spread in a halo around her head and a yellow paper crown sat awkwardly near the top of her head as though she'd been wearing it when she flopped down on the bed in exhaustion. She breathed in and out in a slow soft rhythm, indicating she was in a deep sleep.His leather boots creaked as he shifted, raising an arm to gently run a gloved finger down the side of her face. His mismatched eyes studied her intensely, like he was trying to see through her eyelids to see those cruel eyes. He dropped his hand back down to rest on his knee and let out a sigh. "Our game was fun while it lasted, little Sarah, but I don't think I'm qu
Stolen Kisses Ch. 2Stolen KissesChapter 2: All That Is Beautiful"Blow out candles Sarah!" Toby shouted from his booster seat.Sarah smiled and did as requested, however one candle stayed lit persistently. She frowned at it before directing a puff of air in its direction. Toby clapped and Karen and her father smiled at her. "Congrats kiddo! How's it feel to be eighteen?" her father asked wrapping an arm around her shoulders."Not much different than seventeen truth be told," Sarah smiled back.He laughed, "Yeah, they all start to feel like that the older you get."Karen cut the cake and Sarah dished out large scoops of ice cream to accompany the slices of sugar-frosted goodness. After cake and ice cream, Sarah was led into the living room where there were three presents for her to open, one from Toby, one from her father and Karen, and an unmarked one. Sarah sat in the recliner while Toby hovered over the presents, anxious for her
Stolen Kisses Ch. 13Chapter 13: Pride and PrejudiceA low rhythmic ticking made a soft white noise in the background as Sarah rolled over in a half-sleep. The soft mattress made a 'flumph' sound as her body plopped back down and the ropes holding the mattress made a soft creaking sound. She frowned; something wasn't right. Her dorm bed didn't make a flumph and creak sound
usually it made a thump and squeak sound. She furrowed her brow. It was obvious she wasn't in her own bed, but if she wasn't in her bed, whose was she in?Grumbling slightly, she opened her eyes and squinted about from her position on her right side. She lay on what felt like a feather mattress and feather pillow. Her surroundings looked to be made primarily of a light colored wood, perhaps pine, and they all looked rustic, like they belonged to a cabin in the mountains. The simple bedroom she was in held only a bedside table, a chest of drawers, and the bed she laid in. A snuffed candle sat on the nightstand, but the room w
Only a Dream 16Sarah felt like she was going to hyperventilate. Her breathing was quickly becoming very rapid and very shallow. Shoving Jareth aside, she stumbled a step or two before falling to her knees. Forcing herself to breath in through her nose and out through her mouth, she darted a glance around the bubble. This time, it wasn't just her mind caught inside. From what the blond git had said, she was well and truly trapped within the magical bauble. Unlike her previous experience seeing the inside of a glass crystal, this one did not boast anything large enough, or heavy enough, to shatter the iridescent sides. Well, she corrected herself, glowering slightly, almost nothing. If only she could use a certain royal noggin as a battering ram... It was large enough, after all, though she wondered if it would have enough weight. It was mostly hot air and ego, after all.As her breathing finally slowed, she ran a hand though her hair, checking for any bits of cobweb or silver filigree. Thankfully, she

Magic is the reason for her being there, but can it also be the reason for her escape? Rating may change. JarethxSarah.Chapter Nine: Objects The room they entered was bare, and much plainer than the last. Walls of brickwork built a square around them that felt, to Sarah, quite enclosing after the last room they were in. Indeed, the only thing inside the room was a wooden table, a number of objects placed in a line upon it. Under her breath, Sarah commented, "There seem to be an awful lot of rooms in here that have only one thing in; surely it'd be better to move everything into one of them and do something else with the empty ones? Isn't it a bit of a waste of space?" Elle rol
Only a Dream 6Jareth sat on the edge of his bed, knowing he'd probably hurt Sarah more than he realized with his actions. Women were always just a tad difficult to read, but that particular female had been deliciously stumping him for quite some time. However, at the moment, he was fighting the urge to go ask her pardon...After all, he'd more than likely not helped his case by suppressing her dreams like that. Granted, he felt he had viable reasons for acting as he had. He had been telling the truth about hearing her the night before. Although he had to admit that he'd listened a little closer after he'd realized what she was stomping around up there for.While he knew better than to act without thinking, he'd done a wonderful job of it when she'd gone to bed. His first thought had been to make sure she didn't use "her right words", as she'd once called them. That girl had more than enough of those to last them all a lifetime! She also didn't have the best track record when it came to

JarethxSarah.Chapter Six: Questions The first thing that Sarah noticed was that the pain had stopped; but, unlike in her brief moments of listening to the mortal world, there was nothing tugging at her anymore. Nothing still trying to wrench her silently in another direction. Her eyes snapped open and Sarah found herself staring at warmth- or the distinctly warm-coloured room in which Jareth had placed her. It took her a moment to reacquaint herself with the brightness of the real world; the world that was now real to her regardless of what Karen, the psychiatrists and 'the Institution' had tried to say. She didn't even realise, until sh

So... so I'm just supposed to go and have a bath while I've got these test things looming over me? she thought, worriedly. That's just fantastic. The least he could have done was tell me something about them. Stupid Goblin King... Frowning, Sarah stood. Of course, she hadn't realised that the days she'd spent lying bedridden would have made her miss her body's movement so much, and when she tried to put her weight on her feet she staggered somewhat. Just catching herself, Sarah's frowned deepened and
Only a Dream 15As her comment hit the Goblin King, his cape came back with startling force, though now his face was bright red instead of lividly pale. Glitter puffed off him in clouds, and he snorted like an affronted bull."Okay...so maybe not like Tinkerbell, then..." Sarah knew when to retreat. Usually. However, she couldn't resist adding, "Granted, if you've ever seen the Disney version, you do share a few simil-"He cut her off with one word, "Mother!"Looking around quickly, Sarah demanded, "Where?!""You sound just like her...""You did not just tell me that I remind you of your mother! There is no way I am anything like that evil ice queen! Take it back or so help me I'll find a way to put some of the Bog in your now sparkly bathtub!" Her voice had gotten so brittle it could have cracked if you dropped it."See see see?!" Jareth had raised his hand and was now pointing at her."Don't 'See see see' me!" Sarah stalked towards him and he backed up until he hit
Only a Dream 12The first sneeze didn't overly bother Jareth. Or the second. However, by the sixth, he began to get just a little suspicious. By that point, he was glad Erik was at a meeting for the college's music faculty. If he had been present, the large amount of glitter each sneeze brought with it would have sent him into fits. The masked man just couldn't appreciate the stuff
However, James Norrington, who was working on something a few feet away, did his best to take Erik's place. "What in the world?" He exclaimed after the eight attack sent glitter into his face.Jareth's only response was another resounding "Achoo!""For the love of Someone's having a great time talking about you, aren't they?" The Englishman picked up the stack of papers and shook them, watching copious amounts of glitter fall out.If James had been paying attention, he would have seen Jareth's mismatched eyes fly wide, right before another sneeze grabbed him. This time, he nearly shot off the couch, it w
Only a Dream 2The blond boy was climbing up the side of the play set when Sarah stepped out onto the back patio, holding a tray of chocolate-chip cookies. His antics didn't bother her; however, when Christine's little girl attempted to follow him, she knew she needed to step in. The girl, only five, was dressed in a brand new dress, and Sarah had no desire to hear her friend if it ended up torn. Granted, why the opera singer insisted on dressing the girl like that for a play date, the brunette could never say.The blond boy's twin sister came dashing around the side of the house at that moment, distracting Sarah just long enough for her to hear the unmistakable sound of French fabric ripping. Her daughter, face smudged with dirt, was holding what looked like a genetically mutated frog clasped between her fingers. Three little goblins had followed her, and they were even filthier.Picking the well-dressed girl off the stone side of the play set, she glared over her shoulder at the man trotting after
HeartstringsHeartstrings-o0O0o-One-shot. Labyrinth - Jareth/Sarah.-o0O0o-He woke to birdsong - an unfamiliar tune. Lifting his head up groggily from the pillow, Jareth ran a hand through his hair, pushing the sleep tousled strands back from his face as he squinted toward the window. On the stone sill sat a little round bird. It wasn't a species he recognized.She proceeded to hop along the ledge, tilting her head curiously at the bedazzled coat tossed haphazardly on the back of a chair near the window. Apparently deciding shiny was just what she was looking for, she plucked at a strand, and tugged.Jareth cocked an eyebrow. Moving slowly, he slid back the covers, the cream sheet falling over his lap as he sat up. He reached out, grasping the little bird loosely in his hand and bringing her to eye level. "You're a brazen little thing. You do you realize you're stealing from the crown?"In answer, she pecked him in the soft flesh between his thumb and index finger, hard.Jar
Stolen Kisses Ch. 8Chapter 8: Mi Casa es Tu CasaIt was December the twenty first and Sarah sat in the bay window in the salon of her family's Victorian home. In the twelve days Jareth had been gone, there had been a monster of a blizzard, leaving some homes without electricity for several hours until emergency crews had righted the situation. Now though, it snowed lightly. Large bits of white fluff drifted lazily from the gray overcast sky to add to the already giant piles of snow. Sarah rolled her eyes; Mother Nature was taking the "white Christmas" thing just a bit too far.She glanced at the clock; it was six o' seven and dinner would be served at six thirty. Jareth was late
again. Maybe the goblins needed another firm talking to? Or perhaps he'd been found out by the fae who're watching him?

Republican U.S. House candidate Kevin Cramer is defending his support for eliminating a wind energy tax break.
Cramer and Democrat Pam Gulleson squared off Tuesday in a debate broadcast live from Fargo's KFGO Radio.
They clashed on wind energy subsidies, federal tax rates and the taxpayer bailout of General Motors.
Gulleson says she supported the bailout, while Cramer says an "orderly bankruptcy" of the company would have been better.
Cramer wants to dump a federal tax credit that helps the wind energy industry. North Dakota is a leading producer of wind power. But Cramer says it's wrong to continue the subsidy because of the nation's $16 trillion debt.
Gulleson says the wind industry means hundreds of North Dakota jobs, and says renewable energy development should be encouraged.

Buena, Martinez make quick work of Santa Barbara
His four TDs lead way in league opener
SANTA BARBARA — While Buena High may be known for its quick-tempo offense on Friday nights, a fresh and healthy Noah Martinez makes the Bulldogs offense look fast enough to play on Saturdays or Sundays.
In his return from a concussion injury, Martinez amassed 186 yards and four touchdowns to help Buena, aided by an outstanding defensive effort, throttle Santa Barbara 49-0 in the the Bulldogs' Channel League opener.
Buena, after starting 2013 with three straight losses, won its fourth consecutive game to improve to 4-3 and 1-0 in league. The Dons, losers of two straight, fell to 3-5, 0-2.
"I couldn't have asked for anything better," said a jubilant Martinez on his victorious return. "It's our hard work and dedication. We're believing in the program, believing in what the coaches are saying. I wouldn't have had it any other way."
Buena bought into head coach Tim Gutierrez's lightning-fast game plan early and often.
Martinez and sophomore Martin Mijares led three picturesque scoring drives in the first quarter before Santa Barbara could even manage a first down. Martinez scored on runs of one and two yards, and Mijares hit a wide-open Tyler Bolton for a 25-yard touchdown connection to take a huge lead early.
Bolton turned in another strong receiving effort with a game-high seven catches for 119 yards.
"It's just preparation," said Gutierrez. "These guys are starting to understand what it takes to win football games. For us, it's about matchups. We found good matchups and took advantage of them."
Mijares, in arguably the best game of his young career, was instrumental in finding those mismatches. The sophomore went nearly the entire first half without an incompletion and guided two more touchdown drives before the halftime whistle, including a 6-yard touchdown run and 23-yard toss to senior captain Blayne Bennett.
A dominant showing by the offensive line created running lanes for Martinez and kept a busy Mijares clean.
By halftime, the Bulldogs had run an astounding 44 plays for 18 first downs and 304 yards, an average of 6.9 yards per play.
With all of the fireworks on the offensive side of the ball, the defense may have been just as strong. The defense, led by a superlative effort from the front four, held Santa Barbara to just 41 yards in the first half and four first downs.
Senior defensive lineman Joselle Lucas recorded two sacks and a number of quarterback pressures, while defensive lineman Juan Hernandez and cornerback Nick Meyer each added a sack apiece.
"We played well. Santa Barbara has some talented athletes," said Gutierrez. "Our guys held down the fort out there. (Santa Barbara running back) Cherokee Cunningham is no joke, and we kept him in check."
Cunningham was held to 12 yards on 10 carries.
Riding a four-game winning streak and an impressive showing in the league opener, Buena seems poised for a successful 2013 campaign.
"We're fired up," said Martinez. "We know how to get business done on the field."
Buena hopes to keep rolling when it hosts San Marcos for another Channel League showdown next week. Santa Barbara is off next week.

MILWAUKEE (WKOW) -- The Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday introduced Jason Kidd as the team's new head coach at an 11:30 a.m. news conference.
The Bucks signed Kidd after the Brooklyn Nets agreed to release him from his contract in exchange for two second round picks in the 2015 and 2019 NBA Drafts.
Kidd becomes the 14th head coach in Bucks history. Kidd played 19 years in the NBA, leading the Nets to two appearances in the NBA Finals and winning a championship in 2011 with the Dallas Mavericks. He was a 10-time All-Star and made All-NBA First Team five times. He retired after the 2013 season, ending his career second all-time in career assists and third all-time in career triple-doubles. He became the Nets head coach last season, guiding the team to a 44-38 record and the 6th playoff seed in the Eastern Conference.
Thank you for participating in our poll. Here are the results so far:

A Vermont used car dealer is going to prison for defrauding customers.
Federal prosecutors say Douglas Jordan, 40, of Wolcott, bought high-mileage used cars at auction and would disable warning lights to hide problems with engines, brakes and airbags. Then he'd resell the car at his business, Auto Credit Solutions.
Jordan pleaded guilty to a single count of fraud. He was sentenced to eight months in prison.

|Dear Sir
|Grosvenor Square Westminster August. 8. 1785.
It would be of little Consequence to Us, whether there was a Union between Great Britain and Ireland or not, or whether Mr Pitts 20 Propositions are accepted or not, provided both these Countries Should be allowed to trade with the United States upon free and equal Terms, but the design is too apparent at least too suspicious, of drawing Ireland into the Shackles of the Navigation Acts, in order that the three Kingdoms may be made to act in concert in maintaining that System of monopoly, against Us.
Several Speakers in Parliament, and many Writers have lately thrown out hints of an Union with Ireland and a certain Printer and Bookseller, is now employed in reprinting Daniel De Foe's Book upon the Union with Scotland, to which he has engaged Mr De Lolme, to write an Introduction.—This is all a ministerial opperation and is intended to be pushed, if Mr Pitts 20 Propositions should either be rejected by the Irish Parliament, or give too much Discontent to the Volunteers.
The 20 Propositions, and the Bill which is grounded on them betray too clearly the Intentions of the Ministry.
"Whereas it is highly and equally important to the Interests both
of Great Britain and Ireland, and essential to the Objects of the present Settlement,
that the Laws for regulating Trade and Navigation, so far as relates to securing
exclusive Priviledges to the Ships and Mariners of Great Britain and Ireland, and the
British Colonies and Plantations, and so far as relates to the regulating and
restraining the Trade of the British Colonies and Plantations, should be the same, in
Great Britain and Ireland, and that all Such Laws in both Kingdoms Should impose the
same restraints, and confer the same Benefits, on the Subjects of both, which can only
be effected by the Laws to be passed in the Parliament of both Kingdoms, (the Parliament
of Great Britain being alone competent to bind the People of Great Britain in any Case
whatever, and the Parliament of Ireland being alone competent to bind the People of
Ireland in any Case whatever;) therefore be it
enacted declared, that it
Shall be held and adjudged to be a fundamental and essential Condition of the present
Settlement, that the Laws for regulating Trade and navigation So far as the said Laws
relate to the Securing exclusive Priviledges to the Ships and Mariners of Great Britain, Ireland,
and the British Colonies and Plantations, Shall be the same in Great Britain and
Ireland, and Shall impose the same Restraints and confer the Same benefits on the
Subjects of both Kingdoms"
"That all Priviledges, Advantages and Immunities, which are now granted, or Shall, by any law to be passed by the Parliament of Great Britain be hereafter granted, to Ships built in Great Britain, or to Ships belonging to any of his Majestys Subjects residing in Great Britain, or to Ships manned by British Seamen or to Ships manned by certain Proportions of British Seamen Shall, to all Intents and Purposes whatever, be enjoyed in the Same manner, and under the same regulations and Restrictions respectively by Ships built in Ireland, or by Ships belonging to any of his Majestys Subjects residing in Ireland, or by Ships manned by Irish Seamen, or by Ships manned by certain Proportions of Irish Seamen."
That it Shall be held and adjudged to be a fundamental and essential Condition of the present Settlement, that such Regulations as are now, or hereafter shall be, in force, by law, passed or to be passed in the Parliament of Great Britain, for securing exclusive Priviledges, Advantages, and Immunities, as aforesaid to the Ships and Mariners of Great Britain, Ireland and the British Colonies and Plantations, shall be established in Ireland, for the same time, and to the same manner, as in Great Britain, by Laws to be passed in the Parliament of Ireland, within blank months &c—provided, that the Laws So to be passed in the Parliament of Great Britain, for the purposes aforesaid, Shall impose the same restraints, and confer the same benefits on the Subjects of Great Britain and Ireland"
"That it shall be held and adjudged to be a fundamental and
essential Condition of the present Settlement, that
the People of Ireland now
Irish Sail Cloth Shall be deemed British Sail Cloth, within the meaning of 19.G.2. or
any other Act or Acts of Parliament respecting the furnishing of Ships with British Sail
Cloth, and that Irish Sail Cloth shall be entitled to equal Preference and Advantage as
British for the Use of the British Navy.
"That it Shall be held and adjudged to be a fundamental and
essential Condition of the present Settlement, that all Goods of the Grouth Produce or
Manufacture of any British, or of any foreign
Colony Colony in America, or in
the West Indies, or of any of the British or foreign Settlements on the Coast of Africa,
and all Peltry Rum, train Oil, and Whale Fins, being
the grouth, Produce, or manufacture of the Countries belonging to the United States of
America, or being the Produce of the Fisheries carried on by the Subjects of the United
States of America, Shall, on importation into Ireland, be made Subject to the same
Duties and regulations as the like goods are, or from time to time Shall be, Subject to
on Importation into Great Britain, or, if prohibited from being imported into Great
Britain, Shall in like manner be prohibited from being imported into Ireland."
These Extracts from the Bill for finally regulating the Intercourse and Commerce between Great Britain and Ireland, moved in the House of Commons by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, are Sufficient Evidence of a Design to draw Ireland into a Combination against America. This Jealousy of our Ships and Mariners, Sir, is not peculiar to the English. The French are equally possessed of it, and both are infected with it, to such a degree, that I am confident that each of these nations had rather contribute to the Increase of the others Ships and Mariners than those of the United States. it would not Surprize me, at all, if these two Courts which can agree in nothing else, Should combine together to exclude Us, from every branch of the carrying Trade, and every Advantage of the Whale Fishery.
What Shall We do, to defend ourselves? Shall We confine the Exportation of the Produce of the United States, to the Ships, and Mariners of the United States? To increase the English Navy, the Statute of the 5.Ric.2.c.3. enacted, that "none of the Kings liege People Should Ship any Merchandize out of, or into the Realm, but only in Ships of the Kings ligeance, on pain of Forfeiture." if the United States were able and willing to imitate this Statute, and confine all our Exports and Imports to Ships built in the United States and navigated with American Seamen, or three quarters, American Seamen, or one half or even one third American Seamen, what would be the Consequence?
We should not have at first enough either of Ships or Seamen to export the Produce and import what would be wanted from abroad. But We Should multitudes of People instantly employed in Building Ships, and multitudes of others immediately becoming Sailors, and the time would not be long, before We Should have enough of both.—The People of the United States, have Shewn themselves capable of great Exertions, and possessed of Patience, Courage and Perseverance and willing to make large Sacrifices, to the general Interest. But are they capable of this Exertion? are they possessed of Patience Courage and Perseverance, enough to encounter, the Losses and Embarrassments, which would at first be occasioned, by an Exclusion of foreign Ships. I wish I could know the Number of foreign ships which have entered the Ports of the United States Since the Peace. Including English French, Dutch Italian and Sweedish Vessells, the Number must be very great. If all these Ships and Seamen were American, what Materials would they furnish for a Navy in Case of need?—How would this be received by foreign Nations? Spain and Portugal, would Say nothing, because they have no Ships in our Trade. France has few; Italy would have no right to object, nor Girmany, Russia, Sweeden or Denmark.
it would be laying an Ax at the Root of British Commerce Revenue and naval Power, however Slightly they may think of Us Whether an heavy Duty, upon all foreign Vessells, Such as Should opperate as a decisive encouragement to American Ships, would not answer the End as well, I am not able to judge.
The Provisions of the Act of Navigation 12.Car.2.c.18, would not the sufficient for our Purpose. if the United States Should agree in a Law that no goods Should be suffered to be imported into the United States, in any other than American Bottoms, (navigated by an Ameri[can] Master and three fourths of the Seamen American), or in the Ships of that European nation, of which the Merchandize imported was the genuine Growth or Manufacture, this would not accomplish our Wish, because British and Irish Ships, would desire no other than to import into our States the Manufactures of the British Emp[ire] and to export our Produce in the Same Bottoms. Some of the Brittish Statutes, prohibit foreigners to carry on the Coasting Trade that is to go from one Port to another in Great Britain, and th[is] Regulation will now be extended to Ireland if the 20 Propositio[ns] are accepted. a Similar Regulation might be adopted by the Un[ited] States, and this would be a vast encouragement to our Navigation, for the Intercourse between one State and another and between one Port and another of the Same State, will now be so frequent and considerable as to employ many ships and Mariners, and in these the greatest Strength of a Country consists because, they are always at home ready to fight for the Defence of their Firesides.
if We should get over our Aversion to Monopolies and Exclusions, and adopt the Selfish unsocial Principles of the European Nations, particularly of France and England, We should astonish the World, with a Navy in a very few Years not more than Eight or ten, equal perhaps to the third maritime Power in Europe. This would be amply Sufficient for our Defence. European Statesmen know it, better than We do, and dread it, more than We desire it, because they think, that from that Period all the West India Islands Canada and Nova Scotia, the Floridas and Mexico too would be mad to join Us. Why then will England pursue Measures, which will force Us to try Experiments against our Inclinations? There is no Answer to be given to this Question but the Same which must be given to another, Why did She force Us into Independence? The Nation is infatuated and every Successive Minister must be in infatuated too, or loose his Popularity and his Place. nor is France much less infatuated, in her System of Politcks relative to America. The Jealousy of our Navigation is so Strong, and so common to both, that I should not be at all Surprized if France should agree that England Shall carry her Point in Ireland; draw her into the navigation Monopoly, and agree together to keep Peace with one another, and force Us, if they can out of every Nursery for Seamen. I know that French Nobleman are in England and English Gentlemen in France, preaching up to each other, a Terror of our naval Power, and even the late Arret against British Manufactures may be but a Blind, to cover very different designs. Both courts are capable of Such Dissimulation, and they are now acting in Concert in Germany So much to the disgust of the two Imperial Courts, that I confess I dont admire this appearance of Friendship any more than I can account for it.
It will require all the Wisdom and all the Firmness of Congress and the states, to plan and execute the Measures necessary to counteract all these Wiles
With great Sincere Esteem, I have the Honour / to be, dear sir, your most obedient and most / humble servant
John Adams

After I did this for the 1998 Draft, somebody wondered if maybe that year was unusual, and suggested that the 1997 one was considered to be significantly stronger. After having done the 1997 one too, I can say with some certainty I will never do another one. As it happens, the '98 draft was significantly stronger than the '97, both with greater star talent and more depth, though 23 teams managed to find a player of some value (in contrast to 20 in 1998). Very few teams managed to find even one player who would be a star, and with the exception of the Blue Jays who managed to steal not only Vernon Wells, but Michael Young in the 5th round, and Orlando Hudson in the 43rd nobody got 2. The theme of this is clear: it's very, very difficult to get real major leaguers from the draft because prospects and prospecting is so uncertain.
Blue Jays: Michael Young (5), Vernon Wells (1:5), Orlando Hudson (43), Mark Hendrickson (20)
Astros: Lance Berkman (1:16). Tim Redding (20)
A's: Tim Hudson (6)
Pirates: Mike Gonzalez (30)
Phillies: Derrick Turnbow (5), Randy Wolf (2) Johnny Estrada (17)

text: is it time for Washington Redskins fans to join the raiders and petition for a general manager??? its ovious that unless a football mind takes over and drafts for our offensive line that snyder and buddy cerrato will put together a "playoff roster" like the 2009 version of the redskins every year. Who is scouting for us because it seems like nobody is there? i can ask a million questions but its not going to help and i belive after 9 years its time to demand cerratto leaving or forfeit buying tickets...the only way to make snyder listnen is to hurt him in the wallet.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
A Prada show is never just about the clothes. There's something happening on the walls, the floor, the soundtrack. It's not always obvious what it is, but you can't help but sense it's there. Tonight, for the dual presentation of Prada's fall looks for men and pre-fall for women, one wall piece listed ten key turning points in the last decade (9/11, the launch of Facebook, American Idol's debut, and so on). There was a huge weird splodge of green resin on the floor, and a big circular bar (yellow) in the middle of the room. And DJ Frederic Sanchez, who has always provided the music for Prada's shows, was mixing live, shading electro into rave into indie and back again, a quick-fire tumble of tracks that could easily have been the musical education of kids growing up in the English Midlands during the eighties and nineties.
But the clothes offered no resolution at all to the mystery, suggesting instead those same kids on a night out a whole decade earlier. For the boys, that meant tan tab-front pants, cropped jumpers, and a smart navy blazer, or a cropped peacoat in navy melton; a belted cardigan in a mélange knit; or a moleskin coat with a double collar, knit and shearling. Shoes were shiny, with a big tongue, like a golf cleat, a typically idiosyncratic offering in a season when other designers seem taken with the boot, combat, biker, or otherwise. But Mrs. Prada is famous—notorious, even—for moving from season to season without a backward glance at what's come before. If there was any connective thread with her last men's collection for Spring, it could only have been in the emphasis on youth, meaning that this collection was, quite literally, younger than springtime. How will it play? We may have heard an early warning sign in the plaintive bleat of a departing acolyte, barely more than a boy himself, noting that the clothes made him feel old. On the other hand, as the audience filed out, one last wall piece blared "TO BE CONTINUED…" in huge block letters. Reassurance, perhaps?
See more pictures of the Prada Fall 2010 show here.
I get so more excited about men's clothing than women's. I wish that they came in my size. The tailoring, the fabric mix, the structural strength, the hues, the confidence.
A very polite style and simple shirts, not too much accessories et voilà!
Looking young for ever!

Kenmare Safety Coalition partnered with The Domestic Violence Crisis Center today, to raise awareness of sexual assault in our communities.
Sandy Madsen was raped by a stranger in her home nearly twenty years ago. Since then she has been on a mission-- representing herself and other survivors, to encourage dialogue and empowerment.
(Sandy Madsen, Survivor and Author) "You can do something about it, and not be afraid to talk. Like I said, I was not left with shame or guilt. My whole mission, I believe, is to go out and empower other women --I feel very empowered-- But I want to give them the power to talk because the more you talk about it, the more people are going to get caught. They cannot... don't feel ashamed."
Sergeant Laura Forbes of the Ward County Sheriffs Department was among the medical professionals and clergy in attendance at the conference. Forbes says the department can apply what they have learned from Madsen.
(Sergeant Laura Forbes, Ward County Sheriffs Department) "What I am taking away with this is how to turn around and help our deputies understand when you're dealing with a victim, how to treat them, so that they feel comfortable, and they don't feel like we don't really care. We want to get down to their level and to make sure that we do understand and that we do care and what's happening to them and we do want to find the perpetrator that did this."
Sergeant Forbes also asks any survivors to reach out to law enforcement or the Domestic Violence Crisis Center.

Today Osi came out on the record that he believes the Giants screwed him out of top money for his position during his last contract. So it got me thinking about how we have a need at OLB and he has a need to get the hell out of dodge. Now despite the fact that he is a 4-3 DE I think he has the potential to make the shift to a 34 OLB.
(Heavily edited part)
So, with Osi throwing up a red flag stating on the record the Giants promised a better deal or a trade in 2008 if he played at a high level. Now we know he went down after getting injured in a game with the Jets in the preseason. Personally I believe that after what Osi has openly told the courts his time with the Giants is going to be either over or warming a bench. My question is if Osi is being thrown out of town(kinda like Holmes during his time), should we go after him? Since I originally posted this NFLN challenged Osi's toughness during the last season. Last year he produced 11.5 sacks, 10 FFs, and about 48 tackles, however looking at his career he seems to seesaw between impressive numbers and then decent numbers. I think that Osi can be useful in our defense, with our hybrid 34/43 moving him into the rotation as a DE and more importantly helping us at the OLB position. Now, from what I saw of him on the rare occasion he has trouble with double teams, he gets consumed by them so that is a problem but with a talents group around him in a new setting. (Well new team same stadium... you get the idea.) I think that he could have a fresh start. Of course this is only if the Giants consider throwing him out under the bus for actively bashing his boss but hey this is lockout football news you gotta speculate somewhere.

Air Force?s Welch Granted Medical Turnback; Ninth Semester
After undergoing two surgeries in the last three months, Air Force men's basketball player Nick Welch has been granted a medical turnback for this semester by the Air Force Academy and will not play during the 2005-06 season.
Welch, who had surgery for a broken left foot in July and another in September to repair a tendon in his left ankle, has out-processed from the Academy for the remainder of the semester and will return to classes in January. He was also granted a ninth semester by the Academy for academic and military reasons, as he has missed significant time in both areas due to rehabilitation from this and three other surgeries during his career.
According to NCAA rules, student-athletes have five years to complete their athletic eligibility. Therefore, Welch will be eligible to play for the Falcons in the 2006-07 season.
"This is the right thing to do for the Academy and for Nick," said Air Force Director of Athletics Dr. Hans Mueh. "He has demonstrated exceptional leadership qualities and has been a model cadet in every area. By allowing him to make a full recovery, he will be able to graduate from the Academy and be commissionable in the United States Air Force. Nick will make a great officer in the Air Force and this will give him the best opportunity to fulfill that goal."
A cadet can be granted an administrative or a medical turnback. A medical turnback involves a cadet suffering from a temporary disqualifying medical condition that can be completely resolved within two semesters away from the Academy. A request for medical turnback is typically not cadet initiated. Instead, if the Cadet Medical Evaluation Board determines that a cadet is qualified for medical turnback, the board forwards the recommendation to the 10th Medical Group, Command Surgeon. The final decision is made by the Academy's Superintendent.
Welch, who was recently named to this year's preseason all-MWC team, finished second on the team in scoring and rebounding last season, averaging 12 points and 3.6 rebounds per game. He finished in the top 10 in the MWC in steals (7th), assists (8th) and 3PT% (8th) and helped the Falcons to their second-best record (18-12) in school history.
Welch, a 2004 honorable mention All-America selection, has had three surgeries on his left knee while at the Academy. He missed the first game of the 2003-04 season after arthroscopic surgery on the knee in August of 2003, and had the knee scoped each of the last two off-seasons.

Palatinate of Chester: Courts of Great Sessions of Chester and Flint: Crown Books
This series contains crown books kept by the prothonotary of Chester, who was also the clerk of the crown. These books are the equivalent of the crown books kept by the clerks of assize for the assizes held in ordinary English counties. The earliest item in the series is a crown book for the Flint Court of Great Sessions for 1532 to 1533. The main run of Chester books is complete from 1560 to 1711, after which there is a gap until 1757, from which date there is a broken run of crown books for Chester and Flint jointly running to the date of the abolition of the court in 1830.
The principal contents of the books are lists of prisoners tried. The entries were often annotated later with the outcome of the case, noting, for example, whether the prisoner pleaded not guilty and put himself on a jury ('po" for 'ponit se super patriam'), and if so whether he was judged guilty or not ('cul" for 'culpabilis', or 'non cul" for 'non culpabilis'); the Latin terms are replaced by English equivalents after 1733, when indeed the language of the books comes to be entirely in English.
Lists of those indicted of trespass rather than felony by juries, and including presentments by petty juries or the grand jury, of such matters as failure to keep the roads in repair; and of those indicted before coroners, as a result of inquests held by them, including suicides and the victims of accidents, also regularly appear. There is also information about pledges, lists of jurors and local constables, and some recognizances are also entered. The amount of detail about each item, sparse in the earlier volumes, increases markedly in the later ones. The later volumes also include a section for crown side rules made in each session.
The books are arranged chronologically under sessional headings, followed by subheadings for particularly categories of business. The Chester/Flint volumes have separate sequences of pages for each county, one beginning at either end of the book.
The crown side of the Court of Great Sessions was the equivalent of the crown side of assizes, and the court was often loosely referred to as 'the assizes'.

OMAHA (KPTM)- Adopting a child is supposed to be an exciting time for parents wanting to have a family, but online scams are making the adoption process more stressful than enjoyable.
Kimberly Schrock, who has adopted one child and is looking to adopt another, is keeping popular adoption scams in mind as she is seeking her second adoption.
She explained, "I love adoption, because it obviously it gave us the opportunity to become parents, we have an amazing kid and I can not imagine life with out him."
Email scams vary from photos of sonograms, not from the actual mother. Fake birth mothers claiming they need money, or emails from fake prospective parents, also looking for money, and seeming desperate to adopt your child.
Schrock said that her knowledge from her first adoption will hopefully help others have a successful adoption as well. She began, "as far as selecting an agency, adoptive couples should look for an agency that doesn't require a lot of up front fees…"When you're talking to a birth mother, and she has some kind of emergency, 'I need money right away', that should be a giant red warning flag:"
Never directly send someone money claiming to be a birth mother, send it through an attorney or other adoption professional. Schrock also recommends checking for references from agencies, "an agency should be able to provide you with a list of references, not just one or two."
Additionally, do your online research,"look into their better business rating, Google the agency, look for reviews that are online, they should have a physical address. If there's no where on the page where you can search for an address, you should be able to walk into that place." No address means that it is probably not a legitimate agency,
Schrock's best recommendation is to avoid online searching if possible. Find a local agency, because being able to show up at a moments notice holds the agency to a higher accountability.

According to Tomahawk's Facebook page, the band is working on a new album. In case you are not familiar with the band, Tomahawk is one of the many projects headed by the legendary Mike Patton. I have posted a few tracks below so you can educate yourself. Hopefully this record comes out early next year. One can only hope.

|Ladycats golf with same goals
With the loss of three seniors that hold numerous team records and have been a part of much of the Ladycats success over the past seven years as well as head coach Keith Smith who moved up to the Pendleton district athletic administrator position, you would think that the Ladycat golf program would take a step back.
But with two players who have played in the state tournament, Senior Maggie Miles and Junior Ariel Ramsey, as well as a group of young golfers who are ready for their opportunity, new head coach Keaton Belcher is not changing the focus of the team in the least.
"Expectations this year are not any different than previous years. We want to qualify for the state tournament as a team. Luckily, we have several golfers that have been in the LadyCat progam for a while now so we do have some experience returning. We will use our experience and talented players to work each day to obtain our goal," coach Belcher pointed out.
