Business Secretary Vince Cable today denied that he or Nick Clegg knew about strongly-denied allegations of inappropriate behaviour towards women by a senior Liberal Democrat.
Mr Cable said the claims about the party's former chief executive Lord Rennard were being taken "very seriously" and would be fully investigated.
But pressed on whether he was aware of complaints against the peer before a Channel 4 News report on Thursday, he replied: "Absolutely not."
He told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show: "Nick Clegg has also said he was not aware of these allegations until they appeared on TV last week. But they are serious, and we take them very seriously.
"It is obviously wrong if there are women there who have made complaints and felt they haven't been dealt with properly."
Lord Rennard - a key party strategist and adviser to a succession of Lib Dem leaders before standing down due to ill health in 2009 - has said he is "deeply shocked" by the allegations, which he "strongly disputes" and regards as a "total distortion" of his character.
Lib Dem leader Mr Clegg is facing questions about his knowledge of the situation after the Mail on Sunday published a Facebook discussion of the claims from January 2009.
One party worker, said to have made a complaint against Lord Rennard, wrote: "I just don't know how Nick can know and not do anything."
Current Lib Dem chief executive Tim Gordon admitted last night that it appeared the party "did not fully live up to our political ideals" in dealing with complaints about the peer.
Mr Cable said he was not aware that there was any reason for Lord Rennard stepping down in 2009 other than health issues.
"As far as I am concerned, and I am sure as far as Nick Clegg was concerned, this was an issue of him standing down because of health," he said.
Mr Cable added: "I think it is very important that rather than jump to conclusions we just wait until this investigation has taken place."
Channel 4 News reported last week that several women had claimed Lord Rennard touched them inappropriately.
One of them, Alison Smith, a Lib Dem activist who is now a lecturer at Oxford University, said she had spoken to both the then Lib Dem chief whip Paul Burstow and the party's spokeswoman for women and equality, Jo Swinson, about her claims, but said no action was taken.
The Lib Dems have launched an internal investigation into the "specific allegations" against Lord Rennard under the party's disciplinary procedures.
Party president Tim Farron is also conducting a review into the way the party dealt with such allegations.
Posting on the Lib Dem Voice website yesterday, Mr Gordon wrote: "It appears that we did not fully live up to our political ideals, and I regret that.
"I want to assure you that the Party, and I as Chief Executive, are taking these questions very seriously - both as regards the specific allegations that were made, but also about the Party's procedures for handling complaints of this sort."
He said a five-strong panel of party figures - including at least three women - would be assembled to carry out a "thorough and in-depth" investigation into the allegations against Lord Rennard.
At the same time Mr Farron's review will look into how "allegations made in the past have been handled".
"I fully understand the concern from some that, given the nature of the allegations now emerging, an internal review is insufficient," Mr Gordon said.
"We are therefore currently looking at ways to strengthen the independence of this review - we will add non-party members to the group and will seek professional advice from external sources."
The Daily Telegraph has also said they put allegations about Lord Rennard to Mr Clegg's chief of staff Jonny Oates nearly three years ago.
A Lib Dem spokesman said they had no idea why the Facebook comment had been made. "Nick Clegg only knew of these allegations when we were contacted by Channel 4 News," he added.
In a statement on Lib Dem Voice yesterday, Ms Swinson - now equalities minister - said her focus had been "to protect the women who confided in me".
"All the time I was careful to respect their wish for privacy and, for that matter, their right not to be harassed by the press," she wrote.
"I took action and ensured that others took action. I told the women who had confided in me what I had done to try to put a stop to any inappropriate behaviour, and encouraged them to let me know if they became aware of any further incidents."
Responding to the initial Channel 4 News allegations, a spokesman for Lord Rennard said: "He regards the report as a total distortion of his character.
"Not a single complaint of misconduct was made against him to his knowledge during the 27 years he worked for the Liberal Democrat party. Despite the claim made by one woman in the report, Lord Rennard continued working closely with her for ten years after the alleged event described.
"Until this matter is resolved he will withdraw from the Federal Policy Committee on which he serves and temporarily stand aside from the Liberal Democrat group in the House of Lords to seek to avoid any embarrassment to the party.
"He will remain a member of the Liberal Democrats and will continue to devote himself to good causes through his work in the House of Lords and elsewhere."
After the follow-up report on Friday Lord Rennard said in a statement: "I absolutely deny any suggestion of improper touching, nor did I invite a woman to join me in my room.
"I note that these alleged instances supposedly took place in public bars with other people present.
"I am disappointed and angry that anonymous accusations from several years ago are once again being made public in this manner in a clear attempt to damage my reputation.
"Let me reiterate that in 27 years working for the Liberal Democrat party, not a single personal complaint was ever made against me to my knowledge."

Kwanzaa Celebration in Cary
Kwanzaa is underway and the Town of Cary will observe the holiday with a celebration Thursday. Kwanzaa is held each year from December 26th through January 1st in honor of African-American culture and heritage.
Rob Garner is Cary's Cultural Arts Program Specialist. He says the town's been celebrating Kwanzaa for 17 years.
Rob Garner: "You know, Cary's a diverse community, and we want to support everyone that lives in our community. And I think we want to be able to sort of give people an idea of how other people might celebrate holidays or how they may live in other countries, that sort of thing."
This year's celebration will feature arts and crafts, children's activities, and a live performance by the Chuck Davis African American Dance Ensemble and others. It's free and open to the public. Durham will hold its "Kwanzaafest" on January 1st.

RIO DE JANEIRO - Diego Forlan isn't ready to announce his retirement from international football, even though he knows that at his age the clock is certainly ticking.
The 35-year-old Forlan, who was voted the top player of the 2010 World Cup, played sparingly this time for Uruguay — each time as a substitute for Luis Suarez.
He played an hour in a 3-1 loss to Costa Rica in a group game when Suarez was still recovering from knee surgery, and 53 minutes in Saturday's 2-0 second-round loss to Colombia, when Suarez was out suspended for biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini.
The loss to Colombia knocked the 2010 semifinalists out in the round of 16 in Brazil.
"I want to play football," Forlan said. "I still love to be on the field. I know there's going to be a generational change. That's to be expected, and I'm 35. But I'm always willing to help and be around."
Forlan, who played with Manchester United, Villarreal, Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan, signed an 18-month contract earlier this year with Japanese club Cerezo Osaka and is expected to fulfil it.
And he listed several reasons why he wants to keep playing internationally.
"At a personal level, the things I have been able to experience — winning and enjoying play with the national team — is more than I could have imagined," he said.
Forlan, who wears No. 10 for Uruguay, was largely ineffective in his two stints in this World Cup, unable to make the kind of contributions needed to fill the void left by Suarez — and few could. He scored five goals in South Africa, the same number Colombia's playmaker James Rodriguez has already scored in Brazil.
Uruguay's former all-time leading international goal scorer — until Suarez surpassed him — Forlan was quick to defend his teammate. He was critical of the punishment Suarez received for biting Chiellini: a four-month ban from all football activities, a nine-game suspension from the international matchs, and a fine.
"I think the penalty was really excessive," he said. "The punishment was worse than something meted out to a criminal."

Apparatus according to claim 5, wherein each said draw-and-guide unit (A1, A2, A3) comprises a pair of superposed web guiding plates (32, 132) located downstream of said counterknife (33, 34) and presenting openings on their surface so as to permit said web material being passed therebetween to be engaged by superposed draw wheels (22, 122) arranged on said draw-and-guide unit (A1, A2, A3) and by pinch wheels (R1, R2) arranged on said feeding means (T).
7. Apparatus according to claim 6, wherein said web guiding plates (32, 132) have a comb-like configuration.
The present invention relates to an apparatus for selecting and feeding web material which is particularly adapted for use in machines for packaging products into sheets of flexible material, obtained by transversal cutting of a continuous web unreeled from a supply bobbin.
More particularly, the invention relates to automatic machines for packaging, in stretch film, products arranged in trays, such as food products. These machines are capable of packaging products having different sizes, and for this purpose they require stretch film of different widths. Presently, for this purpose, it is known to arrange on the machine frame a plurality of supply bobbins of stretch film having different widths, and to select the film having the required width depending upon the size of the products being packaged. These operations are effected manually, with considerable loss of time, due also to the difficulties in the handling of the stretch film.
The object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for selecting and feeding web material, such as stretch film, from a plurality of supply bobbins of web material having different characteristics, to a web utilizing machine, such as a packaging machine, in which the web changeover operation, depending upon the size of the product being packaged, is fully automatic.
The features of the apparatus according to the invention and the advantages deriving therefrom will appear evident from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment, made with reference to the Figures of the attached drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a side elevation view of the apparatus, with parts in section;
FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 show a detail of the apparatus of FIG. 1, at different stages of its working cycle; and
FIGS. 5 and 6 diagrammatically show the apparatus during changeover positions for changing the type of web fed to the packaging machine.
FIG. 1 shows the conveyor feeding means T cyclically positioning sheets of a foil web F1, F2, F3 at the packaging station P of a packaging machine, said conveyor means T comprising superimposed belts 101, 201 the active runs of which are arranged side by side so as to grip the longitudinal edge of the said web and fold them in a pleated manner, whereby the web is clamped firmly between them while being suitably stretched in a transvers direction. At their initial lead -in or entry portion, the belts are suitably spaced apart so as to facilitate the web coming from the draw-and-guide means A1, A2, A3 to enter therebetween. On the entry shafts of said conveyor means T there are mounted superimposed wheels R1 and R2 covered with rubber rings. The upper wheels R1 are freely rotatable and the lower wheels R2 are keyed to a common shaft which is connected to the driving means for the conveyor means T through a clutch and brake unit (not shown). When the belt conveyor T is in its operative position, the rings R1 and R2 are in engagement with the foil sheet to be fed to the packaging station of the machine. The details of the conveyor feeding means T are not disclosed herein, since they are known, for example, from U.S. Pat. No. 3,662,513. With respect to the conveyor feeding apparatus illustrated in this U.S. patent, the conveyor feeding means of the present invention are modified as follows: The shafts 1 and 2 around which the upper belts 101 of the conveyor means T are passed at the lead-in or entry portion of the said conveyor means, are supported at their ends by a pair of parallel plates 3 (only one is visible in FIG. 1), which plates 3 are mounted pivotably on shaft 2 and are urged downwardly by gravity or by any suitable elastic or spring means 4. At least one of said plates 3 presents a suitably rounded or chamfered edge 103 at its lower front angle, and a rounded recess 203 at an intermediate position of its lower side. The function of the just described plates 3 will be discussed later.
Upstream of the conveyor feeding means T there is arranged the selecting and dispensing device, which comprises a slide 7 movable on horizontal guide rods 8 which are perpendicular to the shafts 1 and 2 and are secured to the frame of the packaging machine. Parallel to said rods 8 there is arranged a worm screw 9 which can be rotated in either direction through suitable driving means (not shown). The screw 9 cooperates with a nut 12 secured to the slide 7 and which is moved in rectilinear direction, in response to the clockwise or counterclockwise rotation of the screw 9, toward and away with respect to the said conveyor means T. On the slide 7 there is rotatably mounted a shaft 13 which is parallel to the shafts 1 and 2 of the conveyor means T, said shaft 13 being connected to means (not shown) for promoting its rotation in both directions. The shaft 13 can be rotated and locked at predetermined angular positions, so as to act as an indexing device.
A pair of similar and oppositely arranged plates 18 (only one being shown in FIG. 1) is secured perpendicularly to shaft 13. The plates 18 are provided, integrally or by suitable attachment means, with pairs of oppositely arranged extensions 118, 218, 318 which are suitably angularly spaced with respect to each other, for example at a 45� angle. Said extensions 118, 218, 318 carry the respective draw-and-guide units A1, A2, A3 for the different foil webs F1, F2, F3 unreeled from respective rolls B1, B2 B3 which are mounted on the frame of the packaging machine. Since the web drawand-guide units A1, A2, A3 are identical to each other, only one of them will now be described (see particularly Figures 1 and 2). Each draw-and-guide unit comprises a pair of parallel shafts 19, 20 journalled at their ends on the extensions 118 and having keyed thereto, respectively, two small draw wheels 21, 22 of the same diameter and spaced from each other. Applied on said wheels 21, 22 are auxiliary draw wheels 121, 122 mounted on the shafts 23, 24 which are supported by parallel plates 25, pivoted at 26 to said plates 18 and provide with screws 27 for connection to said extensions 118. By loosening the screws 27, said plates 25 can be lifted from said extensions 118 so that the wheels 121, 122 are lifted from the wheels 21, 22 and the leading edge of the foil web F1 to be handled by the unit can be inserted therebetween.
The shafts 23, 24 are connected by a toothed belt 28 and toothed pulleys 29, 129 having the same diameter. To one end of shafts 23, 24 there are keyed the toothed wheels 30, 130 in mesh with respective toothed wheels 31, 131 which are keyed to the shafts 19, 20. These toothed wheels are dimensioned so that the wheels 21, 22 and 121, 122 will rotate with the same peripheral speed. The toothed wheel 31 is preferably of the unidirectional type so as to permit the shafts 20, 24, 23, 19 to rotate in only one direction thus ensuring the proper positioning of the leading edge of the foil web between the draw wheels.
To the plates 25 and extensions 118 there are secured the pair of superimposed flat-shaped guides 32, 132 through which the foil web is passed and which present a comb-like configuration at both their front and rear portion. The rear comb-like portion extends in part upstream of the pair of wheels 22, 122 while the front comb-like portion extends in such a manner so as to enable said guides 32, 132 to exert their guiding action on the foil web while the same is pinched between the conveyor means T, as will be seen hereinafter.
The rear ends of the said guides 32, 132 are located at a short distance from a transverse counterknife 33 secured to the plates 25 and provided with a longitudinal bottom groove 34, said counterknife being arranged in such a manner that the film running between the pairs of draw wheels 21, 121 and 22, 122 will slide against said grooved bottom.
Still with reference to FIG. 1, the rollers 35, 135, 235, supported by the frame of the machine, will guide foil webs F1, F2, F3 presenting different characteristics unreeled from the supply rolls B1, B2, B3, while further rollers 36 and 136 mounted, respectively, coaxially to shaft 13 and on plates 18 are suitably arranged in order to prevent the contact of the foil webs between one another upon angular movement of the selecting and dispensing device whenever changing the film being supplied. Finally, a roller 37 is provided, which is mounted in cantilever fashion on the outer side of at least one of the extensions 118 (218, 318) of each draw-and-guide unit, and which is arranged on the same imaginary vertical plane containing the plate 3 provided with the recess 203 on its lower side.
The operation of the apparatus is as follows:
When at rest, the apparatus is in the condition shown in FIG. 1, with the slide 7 at the maximum distance from the feeding means T. In this condition, under control of automatic devices detecting the size of the item to be packaged, or under selective command of the operator, there is automatically selected and prearranged for feeding to the conveyor means T the particular web F1, or F2, or F3 having the required dimensional or other characteristics. As a result of the controlled rotation of the indexing shaft 13, the desired draw-and-guide unit A1 or A2 or A3 is positioned horizontally. The driving means for rotating the screw 9 are actuated, and the slide 7 is caused to move to the right as clearly illustrated in the sequence of Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4. During this forward movement, (see FIG. 3) the roller 37 engages the bottom side of the plate (or plates) 3, and lifts said plates 3 thus moving apart or opening the initial section of the conveyor means T, R1, R2. The leading edge of the foil web F1 can therefore be introduced thereinto while being held fast within the guide means 32, 132. When the roller 37 reaches the recess 203 (FIG. 4), the plates 3 will be lowered, the belts 101, 201 of the conveyor means 7 will close again and the rings R1, R2 will grip the leading edge of the web F1 at the portions which are left free by the comb-like configuration of the guides 32, 132. On completion of the rightwards stroke of the slide 7, the undirectional toothed wheel 31 reaches and meshes with a toothed wheel 38 connected to drive means (not shown) which are energized in combination with the conveyor means T, R1, R2. The active runs of the belts 101, 201 of the said conveyor means T move righwards , in the same direction in which the web is moved by the draw wheels 21, 121 and and 22, 122 and by the rings R1, R2. The linear speed of the belts of the conveyor means T is slightly higher than the peripheral speed of the draw wheels so as to keep the foil web in a suitably stretched condition.
When the desired length of film F1 has moved downstream of the counterknife 33, a notched knife 39 is temporarily lifted so as to penetrate into the groove 34 and to transversely weaken (as known in the art) the said film. Thereafter, when the weakening line has moved downstream of the wheels provided with the rings R1, R2, these wheels and the preceding draw wheels 21, 121, 22, 122 are stopped so that the web F1 will be severed along said weakening line due to the longitudinal tension applied thereto by the belts 101, 201 of the conveyor means T, which will continue to operate to inroduce properly the cut off sheet of web into the packaging station P of the machine.
The changeover of the webs to the feeding means T takes place in the following manner:
Both the conveyor means T and the components of the drawand-guide unit (A1 in this case) which is arranged horizontally are stopped. The slide 7 is moved away from the conveyor means T, which, due to the cooperation of the roller 37 with the shaped lower side of the plate 3, will be spread apart, thus permitting the leading edge of the film held by the draw-and-guide unit which was previously operating, to be withdrawn therefrom. The draw-and-guide unit (A1) moves away from the driving wheel 38 and cutting means 39. At this point, the indexing shaft 13 is rotated automatically in clockwise or counterclockwise direction so as to position the desired draw-and-guide unit A2 or A3 (whichever is required) horizontally. After this operation, the feeding cycle can be resumed as described above (see FIGS. 5 and 6).
It is to be understood that the above description relates to a preferred embodiment of the invention, with the omission of the constructional details of the driving and electrical circuits which ensure the proper operation of the device, since thay are easily conceivable by a person skilled in the art. It is to be understood also that many changes and modifications, particularly in construction, may be made to the invention. Thus, for example, the reciprocating movement of the slide 7 may be effected by means different from those described. As an alternative embodiment, the draw-and-guide units A1, A2, A3 can be arranged above each other, horizontally and suitably spaced apart, and may be mounted on suitable vertical raising and lowering means arranged on the slide 7.

Do you know FURst aid?
Pet emergencies are far less terrifying when owners know what to do, who to call
Few things can cause an owner to feel as helpless than a pet emergency. I'll never forget the panic I felt the day I discovered my cat had been shot with a pellet gun. Ninny, a beautiful white shorthair, was shy, sweet and had paws large enough to create envy in any prize fighter.
At the time, it was still legal for cats to be outside. Occasionally, Ninny would walk on the fence. One of our young neighbours hated cats. He shot her point blank in the thigh. It was fortunate she was white. Had her coat had been darker I might not have noticed the blood as quickly. It took me what seemed like hours, but was likely seconds, before I thought to call my boyfriend to drive me and Ninny to her veterinarian.
Thankfully, a gunshot wound isn't a common crisis. Every pet owner will face an emergency in their animal's life.
As in the human world, prevention is the key. Most of us are aware of the dangers of toxins, like raisins and chocolate in dogs. And we know to hide electrical cords from cats who like to chew. But did you know that you should be really careful when you take your own pills? One acetaminophen pill poses danger to a cat or small dog. Pets are often quick to lick up whatever's on the floor; if only they were knew how to mop it instead.
As parents, we are prepared to deal with our kids' broken bones or bloody noses. How many of us know what to do for our pets? Would you know how to recognize and handle a canine seizure? Just so you know, the answer isn't to ball like a baby and phone your veterinarian at home in the middle of the night. Some of them don't like that (mine was really patient). The things we neglect to consider often cause injuries. When my sister was a teen, she used sponges to apply foundation makeup. To a human, this isn't an object we'd confuse with food. But to a three-month-old chihuahua puppy, a makeup sponge is not only fun to chew, it's tasty. The oil in the sponge nearly killed Tequi. Had my mother not understood atypical behaviour in our pup, Tequi wouldn't have gone on to live 17 more years.
Ask your veterinarian for his or her suggested emergency number. Keep it handy.
Situations like that is why Lolo Eckert, from Emergency Essentials, encourages owners to keep a pet first aid kit and pet emergency numbers accessible.
"Statistics show that preventable accidents are the leading cause of death... 25 per cent more pets could be saved if just one pet first aid technique were applied prior to getting veterinary care," says Eckert.
Eckert's husband, Kerry Eckert, is a paramedic. He knows that seconds count in a human emergency. It's no different in the animal world. As a veterinary consultant, Lolo Eckert realized that a formal pet first aid course didn't exist. They wanted to change that and their company was born.
Eckert refers to the course as "paws on." It's an opportunity to show owners how to stop pet bleeding, reduce possibility of infection, keep body temperature normal and prevent brain damage and even death.
By no means is their course meant to replace veterinary care, but rather, to stabilize the pet until you can get medical assistance.
Lessons learned in their course aren't useful merely for pet owners. Many animal lovers would run to any animal's side if it were sick or injured. Humans welcome assistance in an emergency, but animals may bite or scratch as a means of instinctive protection. The Emergency Essentials course will instruct you on how to protect yourself in cases such as these. It will explain how to assess an injury, approach an ill animal and how to transport it to safety. It will teach you how to deal with rescue breathing, choking, shock and even severe bleeding.
Hopefully, you won't have to live through the situations my family did. Had I been armed with proper first aid knowledge, I would have understood that my reaction shouldn't have been to panic and cry like a bride unable to fit into her wedding dress.
For those interested in Eckerts' service, contact them at www.emergency-essentials.ca or call 1-877-910-0911. Also, the Winnipeg Humane Society is holding two classes with Eckert. One is on Aug. 30 and the next is Sept. 13. Contact Lindsay from the WHS for further information at (204)982-3555.

@ a funeral. fucking miss uuuu
If i die in the snow, get to my laptop and delete all of the nickelback. password is "barry"
i wish i could tell you the night didnt begin with me drinking alone
Definately laid on the floor of the shower this morning drinking the water as it fell on me.
I wonder if he has realized that I have poured all if those shots he bought into the tip jar
she walked out and i tried to get her to come back but i couldn't remember her name so i just whistled... future reference: that doesn't work
They just kept handing me shots and saying welcome to college
Please take a moment of silence for the fact that I still have all 10 fingers
Rolled in at 3:30am from the strip club, with all the screaming I did, Siri doesn't even recognize my voice this morning,
You can't just call animal control when you're drunk because there is a bug in the shower.
I can't wet the bed. That was the old me. I'm grown
At the start of the night I was all 'come at me universe' and three hours later I was ordering an extra large pizza in bed in the dress I had gone out in. Well played universe.
Just because he told you it was safe doesn't mean you should have licked it.
Omphalophobia is a real thing. don't ever fucking touch my belly button again dude
Holy Hangover.. I'm marrying whoever put this water by my bed

Final Fantasy XI boss that guild Beyond the Limitation plugged away at for 18 hours before finally giving up the fight. They estimate that with 5 or 6 more hours of work they could have finished the job.
"People were passing out and getting physically ill," guild leaders said. "We decided to end it before we risked turning into a horrible new story about how video games ruin people's lives."
So, to recap: There's a boss in Final Fantasy XI that's so tough that people who play Final Fantasy XI enough to be in a guild don't think it's worth their time. Moreover, he was so difficult it was enough to force them to start making responsible choices with their lives. Mother Brain, you can consider yourself trumped.

Peter ch7kaybugg1
Chapter 7
Meanwhile at the palace, Sultanna Tohma stood in the doorway of his son's room where he found Prince Alex sitting on a long couch with only one arm rest. "Alex?" Sultanna Tohma asked worringly as Gaomon purred sadly as he sat in front of the heartbroken prince. "Oh, dear. What's wrong?" Sultanna Tohma worringly asked her depressed son who began to pet Gaomon as the Sultanna walked over to her son. "Mike has...done something terrible." Prince Alex sniffled as he looked like he was about to cry once more as he turned to face his mother. "Now, there, there, my dear son. We'll set it right." Sultanna Tohma told Prince Alex as he wrapped an arm around his son's shoulders. "Now, tell me everything." Sultanna Tohma told his son as he sat down next to Prince Alex causing the sadden prince to tell his father everything that happened in the market place.
Meanwhile deep underground, Peter layed unconcious on Carpet just as a worried Agu climbed over to his friend. "Oh. Peter. Wake up."

Meanwhile in the dinning room, there was no one in the room except for Yoshi who was on the table making sure it was perfect.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no. They cannot mix bells with holly." Yoshi complained as she took one of the sprigs of holly off of one of the large bowls. "Still, I have to admit, not bad for amateurs." Yoshi then told herself as she wa

Not knowing what Alan was planning, Marcus walked through the snow and wind as he looked for someone who could help him rescue his daughter. "Will no one help me?" Marcus yelled into the dark night as the wind whistled and the snow came down hard.
Back at the beast's castle, Kayla continued to sob on her bed as she sat on the floor by it until the sound of knocking fill the air. "Who is it?" Kayla sadly asked. "Frigimon, dear." Frigimon told Kayla from behind the door causing her to get up, run over to the door and open it revealing a teapot and a teacup causing Kayla to look down in shock. "I thought you might like a spot of tea." Frigimon told Kayla as she and Keenan hopped into the room along with the cream and suger bowls. "But you're... you're a..."

Chapter 6
"Hey, he was in trouble. Ah, he was worth it." Peter told his friend and then sighed causing Agu to smile as he knew that Peter was starting to fall in love with the prince. "Yeah, yeah, yeah." Agu sighed as he took one of his lockpicks and began to pick the lock on the iron bar. "Don't worry, Agu. I'll never see him again. I'm a street rat, remember? And there's a law. He's gotta marry a prince." Peter told Agu just as Agu freed him. "He deserves a prince." Peter told Agu as the little monkey jumped off of the iron bar that he had been standing on and then landed in front of a depressed Peter. "I'm a fool." Peter sadly told Agu as he put his arms down and then sat down.
"You're only a fool if you give up, boy." an old man who was hiding in the shadows told Peter and Agu causing them to turn and look at him. "Who are you?" Peter asked the old man. "A lowly prisoner, like yourself. But together, perhaps we can be more." the old man told Peter as he hobbled over to Peter. "I'm

After visiting several storage companies I decided on CubeSmart, Lantana Road, Lake Worth, FL as they were the cleanest and most helpful of the ones that I visited. As a woman I felt safe entering my storage building and unit. Kayana (spelling) was very nice and very helpful and could answer all of my questions and showed me several units so that I could judge the size and building. I purchased many boxes and she helped me with and was very patient.
March 3, 2014
So far I enjoy the facility. Upon signing up agent Cooper was very helpful and took the time to explain everything to me. I got to the store at 10 minutes before they closed. She did not rush like most places would and still took her time. It was greatly appreciated.
February 18, 2014
I have not had an issue since moving my boat to this facility. At the old facility theives attempted to steal my motor. They did over $3,000 worth of damage to the boat and rigging. This facility is well lit, requires access code to gain and depart from the parking facility, it is always clean and well kept.

I love this storage facility. The reps are kind, friendly and very helpful. I love the security of the facility. The units are extremely clean. I can go there and access my unit whenever I want. I wouldn't go anywhere else. I used other storage facilities and the service was not up to par, some were not very clean and one had a problem with mold and dust. This unit is extremely clean. It is the best storage facility I have ever used. Keep up the great work.

IAEA, ElBaradei share Nobel Peace Prize
elbaradi iaea 88.
(photo credit:)
The International Atomic Energy Agency and its chief, Mohamed ElBaradei, have won the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize and will share the world's most prestigious prize.
The prize, announced Friday, went to the two "for their efforts to prevent nuclear energy from being used for military purposes and to ensure that nuclear energy for peaceful purposes is used in the safest possible way."
Vice Premier Shimon Peres, himself a former Nobel Peace Prize winner, said, "ELBaradei is a worthy winner, although not the perfect choice," Army Radio reported.
"There are holes in the (IAEA) apparatus for deterring a culture of nuclear weapons, as in the case with Iran, but the agency certainly has done much in the prevention of nuclear weapons from reaching dangerous hands, said Peres."
In Vienna, where the agency is based, IAEA spokeswoman Melissa Flemming said: "This is the most proud moment of my career at the IAEA. I never thought we'd see this day. This is the proudest day for the IAEA. We are proud, astonished, elated. For an organization like us there is no prouder award."
ElBaradei, an Egyptian lawyer, has headed the UN nuclear agency as it grappled with the crises in Iraq and North Korea and now Iran.
He has led the International Atomic Energy Agency as it rose in prominence from a nondescript bureaucracy monitoring nuclear sites worldwide to a pivotal institution at the vortex of efforts to disarm the two regimes.
The austere and methodical diplomat took a strident line as he guided the IAEA through the most serious troubles it faced since the end of the Cold War.
He accused North Korea, for example, of "nuclear brinkmanship" in December 2002 after it expelled two inspectors who were monitoring a mothballed nuclear complex. Pyongyang said the plant needed to go back on line in light of an electricity shortage.

SPRINGFIELD, MO - Audry Perez belted a grand slam in the second inning Wednesday night as the Cardinals stormed to an 11-3 victory over the Hooks at Hammons Field.
The Hooks, who have lost a season-high four in a row, jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first thanks to bases-loaded walk by Jonathan Meyer. Lefty Jonathan Cornelius bounced back to retire the next two batters, stranding three. Corpus Christi had not scored in 21 innings following back-to-back shutouts by Tulsa.
Ross Seaton had retired the first four he faced before Stephen Piscotty swatted a home run to left field. Three batters later, Perez, hitting ninth in the order, crushed a 1-0 fastball from Seaton onto the berm in left-center.
Seaton (1-1) would later surrender an RBI double by Piscotty in the fifth.
Cornelius (1-2) set down eight in a row after the Meyer walk. He did run into two-out trouble in the sixth. Zach Johnson notched a single and Raoul Torrez followed with a two-run blast to left. Torrez now owns seven hits with the Hooks and two have left the yard.
The Cardinals, who snapped their losing streak at four, answered immediately in the home half, plating a pair off lefty Kenny Long. Springfield added two more in the eighth with Matt Heidenreich on the hill.
Heath Wyatt and Deryk Hooker authored three scoreless frames of relief to close out the game for the redbirds.
The two clubs meet Thursday for Game 2 of this series. Ruben Alaniz (4-7) and Seth Blair (3-6) comprise the Independence Day matchup. First pitch is 5:09.

JAN-qualified n-channel power MOSFETS target military, space, and avionics applications
October 31, 2011 // Paul Buckley
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc, has introduced the first of the new Vishay Siliconix military-grade n-channel power MOSFETs: the JAN-qualified 60 V 2N6660JANTX/JANTXV and 90 V 2N6661JANTX/JANTXV. For military, space, and avionics applications, the devices combine low on-resistance and fast switching speeds in the sealed TO-205AD (TO-39) package.
The Vishay Siliconix facility in Santa Clara, Calif. has been re-qualified by DSCC to manufacture MOSFETs with screening to MIL-PRF-19500. The MIL-PRF-19500 specification is a standard that establishes the performance, quality, and reliability requirements for discrete components used in systems being built for military and critical avionic applications.
The devices released today are optimized for TTL/CMOS direct logic level interfaces; drivers for relays, solenoids, lamps, hammers, displays, memories, and transistors; battery operated systems; and solid-state relays. The MOSFETs' sealed TO-205AD package is designed to withstand the higher temperatures of military and aerospace applications.
The 60 V 2N6660JANTX/JANTXV offers low on-resistance of 1.3 Ω typical at 10 V, a low gate-source threshold voltage of 1.7 V, and fast switching speeds of 8 ns. The 90 V 2N6661JANTX/JANTXV provides low on-resistance of 3.6 Ω typical at 10 V, a low gate-source threshold voltage of 1.6 V, and fast switching speeds of 6 ns. Both devices feature low input and output leakage, and provide low input capacitance of 35 pF typical.
The 2N6660JANTXV and 2N6661JANTXV feature a 100 % internal visual (pre-cap) inspection per MIL-PRF-19500. Vishay's additional hi-rel capabilities include Group A, Group B, Group C, and Group E testing, in addition to a lower cost -2 flow option (MIL-STD-750 visual and processing).
Samples and production quantities of the JAN-qualified MOSFETs are available now, with lead times of 16 weeks for larger orders.

Bridges and Tunnels: Investigate Feats of Engineering
By Kristi_Bernard on December 13, 2013
Bridges and Tunnels: Investigate Feats of Engineering
Donna Latham
The building of bridges and tunnels is a fascinating feat for engineers. Young readers curious about how these man made monstrosities are built will learn all about them. An engineer is a person who uses science and math to build. Some of the tools they use to draw an idea are levels, planes, protractors and geometry. Young readers will learn all the terminology engineers use every day. Each page has a "words to know" box that explains definitions for any young reader can easily understand. The "did you know" box shares fun facts about how engineers use their keen insights to avoid disasters.
The history of bridges and tunnels can also be found along with the workers stories and how they survived and died building these massive projects. In the case of many bridges, readers will learn how war, wind, fire and ice have caused them to collapse. For example: the London Bridge was originally a crude Roman bridge built in 52 CE. The bridge spanned the River Thames in England for centuries, but it fell many times. Experiments are listed with detail instructions so that readers can put what they've learned to the test. Simple structures can be made with things found at home, such as marshmallows and toothpicks. Homemade paper wheels can teach young minds how steam works. Various pages have "notable quotes" which provide inspiration from famous people.
There are 25 different projects in all. The back pages list other books, sites, a glossary and index to help readers find more information about engineering and to become better equipped with the terms used. Teachers and parents will enjoy sharing and learning with this handy tool that will inspire any math or science student.
BIBLIO:2012, Nomad Press, Ages 9 to 12, $15.95.
