5 Stocks to Trade Ahead of Earnings
MINNEAPOLIS ( Stockpickr) -- Third-quarter earnings season begins in earnest when Alcoa (AA) reports results on Oct. 11. For those looking to get a head start on trading earnings, several big names report results this week, including Costco (COST - Get Report), Yum Brands (YUM - Get Report), Marriot International (MAR) and Constellation Brands (STZ - Get Report).
Investors have endured the brunt of speculative selling over the last few months. With earnings, we can move beyond speculation and begin adjusting to actual facts. Sellers are betting on a recession, and they may be right.
Recent economic data would seem to suggest that recession is inevitable -- as does as a recent report from the Economic Cycle Research Institute. In fact, the leading economic indicators that the institute follows are indicated that a recession may have already begun.
>>5 Rocket Stocks to Buy in October
Despite that gloomy prediction, investors tried to move stocks higher last week. A selloff on Friday erased gains, and the S&P 500 ended the week off 0.44%. Once again the action was entirely unpredictable making it difficult for investors and traders alike. Those trading earnings had an easier time of it. Two of the trades mentioned here last week did quite well. The suggested short of Micron (MU - Get Report) was a winner, with that stock down 14% after a very disappointing earnings report. Another winner was the long recommendation of Jabil Circuits (JBL - Get Report); the semiconductor stock gained 10% after reporting strong earnings. Where will the winners be this week? Here are five stocks to trade in advance of third-quarter earnings season.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Le Bistrot Paul Bert, 11th Arrondissement
Posted on: March 19, 2011 at 5:09PM
Please avoid Bistro Paul Bert. The neighborhood, the service and the meat is horrible. What they serve is not "steak". What they serve is "mistake". And, as if that wasn't enough reason to never go there, their prices are ridiculous. Frankly, McDonald's is better. Avoid like the plague. This probably where the plague started!

Printz Honor Book "Los Angeles Times" Book Prize Finalist Katherine V thought boys were gross Katherine X just wanted to be friends Katherine XVIII dumped him in an e-mail K-19 broke his heart When it comes to relationships, Colin Singleton's type happens to be girls named Katherine. And when it comes to girls named Katherine, Colin is always getting dumped. Nineteen times, to be exact.

Colin is on a mission to prove The Theorem of Underlying Katherine Predictability, which he hopes will predict the future of any relationship, avenge Dumpees everywhere, and finally win him the girl.Love, friendship, and a dead Austro-Hungarian archduke add up to surprising and heart-changing conclusions in this ingeniously layered comic novel about reinventing oneself.

Click here to watch Morgan make this recipe! Hi everyone, it's definitely been too long since I last posted a recipe so I'm glad I have the opportunity to do something about that today! Our recipe owes its namesake to flan, a popular Spanish dessert. This flavor combination has become quite popular here in the US as well, so we found a recipe that you can use to make your own Caramel Flan Latte. Check out the recipe below to get started! Caramel Flan Latte: ¼oz Monin Vanilla Syrup ½oz Monin Caramel Syrup 1 Double Shot of Espresso Steamed Milk A 12oz Glass Before you do anything else, my suggestion is that you preheat your glass ahead of time with some hot water. This will help prevent temperature loss and keep your drink hotter for longer. After that, begin by measuring and combining your two syrups in your 12oz glass, an ideal tool for this is the Rattleware 3oz Shot pitcher. Next you'll want to add in your espresso, you can brew directly into the glass if you like, but remember to mix the espresso and the syrups thoroughly and evenly. Steam milk using your preferred method, add it to the espresso and syrup, and enjoy! It's really that simple. Additionally, if you're looking to add a bit of flare to your drink, you can garnish it with some whipped cream and nutmeg. Yum!

How Sweet It Is - Sugar Alternatives for Your Coffee

Coffee Talk
There are two kinds of coffee drinkers -- those who love nothing more than black coffee and those who prefer to add a little something to their brews. If you belong to the latter camp and have grown tired of plain old sugar, we've got a few sweet alternatives for you. Honey Though it usually accompanies tea, honey can be just as good in coffee. Try adding a teaspoon or two of this sweet stuff into your morning cup of Joe. Not only can honey soothe a scratchy throat, it has also been known to boost the immune system. Maple Syrup We've tried it in the office. A little splash of pure maple syrup can add a nice touch to "breakfast" coffee. It will round out the notes of a coffee and add a slight aroma, not a bad thing on a cold morning. Agave Nectar Often available in organic varieties, agave nectar offers a natural alternative to sugar. Since it's already in liquid form, agave nectar can easily be used to sweeten iced coffee. Flavored Syrup Not only will they add a hint of flavor and aroma to a drink, syrups, such as Monin Syrups, can also be used to sweeten your beverage. Best of all, Monin Syrups are available in organic and sugar-free options. Condensed Milk An essential ingredient in Vietnamese coffee, condensed milk acts as sweetener and creamer in one. Try it in an Americano or drip coffee but remember, a little bit goes a long way. We're curious to know, what do you take in your coffee? And, are you willing to give unconventional sweeteners a try?

It's always exciting when we get new products, but it's even more exciting when I can use them for recipes! So, I was obviously delighted when I discovered that we had not one, but three new varieties of Monin syrups that we would be adding to our repertoire of flavors: Cinnamon Bun, Banana Nut Bread, and Cupcake. And of course, there's really no better way to showcase one of these new flavors than by putting it in a drink! I give you the Cinnamon Bun Latte. Ingredients: 1 oz. Monin Cinnamon Bun Syrup Double Shot Espresso 6 oz. Steamed Milk Whipped Cream Cinnamon Begin by brewing a 1 oz. shot of espresso in an 8 oz. glass, then, steam 6 oz of milk. Measure out 1 oz. of Monin Cinnamon Bun syrup and add it to your espresso. Pour in your milk and stir gently to mix your ingredients. If you like, you can garnish your latte with a bit of whipped cream and powdered cinnamon. Last of all, enjoy!

Here's what you'll need:1 Tbs of Chocolate Sauce 2 Tbs of Peppermint Syrup Freshly Brewed Coffee Whipped Cream Additional Garnishes* Okay, get ready for this. Start by adding your chocolate sauce and peppermint syrup to your glass.

Click here to watch Morgan make the shake!It's always exciting when we get new products, and even more so when I can take them into the kitchen and whip up new drinks with them. I'm pleased to say that we've got two new additions to our line of Monin gourmet flavoring syrups, French Vanilla and Salted Caramel. While you take some time to decompress this weekend, why don't you give one of our Salted Caramel Espresso Shakes a try? Here's what you're going to need: 2oz of Milk 1oz of Espresso 1.5oz of Monin Salted Caramel Syrup 3 Scoops of Vanilla Ice Cream Caramel Ice Cream Sauce Whipped Cream A Blender To be completely honest, with this being a milkshake, all you really have to do is throw everything into the blender and hit blend, but, I did it in this order: Milk, Syrup, Ice cream, Espresso. The logic behind it being that you can have your shot brewing while you add everything else to the blender and just toss it in when it's done. The caramel sauce is mostly just for show, but you can drizzle it on the insides of the glass to jazz up your drink. When your shot is done, combine it with the rest of the ingredients and blend until smooth. When you're done blending, top with whipped cream, and drizzle with some more caramel if you're feeling decadent!

No Such Thing as a Seasonal Drink! Personally I've never really grasped the idea of seasonal foods. Granted, some foods are more available during different parts of the year, if something tastes good, it tastes good, no matter what time of the year. So, with that in mind I present you with a new recipe to enjoy any time, the White Chocolate Peppermint Latte. It's sort of like drinking a candy cane that's been kissed by velvety smooth white chocolate and to make one of your own you're going to need: 1 Shot of Espresso (1-1.5oz based on your preferences) ½ Teaspoon of Monin White Chocolate Syrup ¼ Teaspoon of Monin Peppermint Syrup 6oz of Steamed Milk As with any latte, start by brewing your shot, and, if you've got a heat exchanger or dual boiler machine, you can steam your milk at the same time. Once your shot is done and your milk is done, combine your syrups in the milk pitcher and swirl them together vigorously. Pour your espresso into a latte glass followed by your milk and enjoy!

In honor of this special day, the seasoned baristas here at Whole Latte Love have whipped up just the recipe for the occasion. For the Gingerbread Latte you're going to need. 1 Shot of Espresso 1 tsp. of Gingerbread Syrup 1 tsp. of Vanilla Syrup 6oz of Steamed Milk Whipped Cream Cinnamon or Nutmeg to Garnish Start by brewing your shot, and if you've got a heat exchanger machine, feel free to start steaming your milk too. When you're done brewing, add your espresso to your glass and measure out 1 tsp. of gingerbread syrup and 1 tsp. of vanilla syrup . Combine the syrup with the espresso. Now it's time to add your 6oz of steamed milk. Top with whipped cream, garnish with cinnamon and nutmeg, and enjoy! Want even more detail about how it's made?

Apollo 11 video clip - better late than never
I'd said I was going to post this a couple of weeks ago, but with everything that happened it couldn't be done.
Anyhow, here's a short clip of my first visit to the USA in 1969 to see Apollo 11 on her way to open up the universe to human explorers. It just seems like yesterday. Posted in memory of my cousin - also on the video - who passed away at the beginning of last month. RIP Gina.

We watched from Satellite Beach Bill. After a couple of months watching several launches, both day and night, from the beaches I was getting to be a bit of a launch veteran. I thought it was the height of space-ageness that the local paper carried launch details in the byeline, just like the late footy results in the local paper at home.
Aug 02, 2009, 06:43 PM | |
Satellite Beach, that would be betwixt Melbourne and Cocoa.
I grew up in Birmingham, Alabama but spent 1967-1968 in Melbourne (long, involved story). Brought back memories. I was watching your video (be patient, we're on dialup) and was first "in line" to reply, but got stuck over in Mapquest Maps (aerial photos of Melbourne) doing some sightseeing. After all these years, I still recognised landmarks. Yes, the whole place was "space crazy" during the late 1960's. Wonderful times, then. --Bill |
Aug 02, 2009, 06:49 PM | |
My official stifficate says Brevard County and the house at the beginning of the video was in Satellite Beach itself, the dish antenna thingy on the video was down on the beach where we used to watch from but that might even have been on Cocoa Beach, they were right next to each other.
When Tim gets a round tuit he can edit up the second video, showing the first subsea launch of a Royal Navy Polaris II missile, which is quite spectacular and has sailors and a submarine in it too for those who like all things maritime. |

There's a Saturn V model sitting on my desk here Tim. When you look at the tiny capsule compared to the giant booster and realise that none of it was really designed to be anything other than single use, the Haynes Manual becomes even funnier. I can just imagine the NASA engineers deciding whether to risk embarking on a 3 spanner job or not

Albion 2-1 Stirling: Match Report
Albion 2-1 Stirling: Match Report - view commentary, squad, and statistics of the game as it happened.
Stirling miss out on summit
Stirling missed the chance to go top of the Scottish League Two after a 2-1 defeat at Albion ended their five-match unbeaten run.
Barry Russell opened the scoring for Albion after 25 minutes as his effort from outside the box found the bottom corner of David Crawford's goal.
Chris Dallas doubled the home side's lead before the break with a neat finish from the edge of the six-yard box after Gary Phillips' well-placed pass.
A headed goal from Stirling's James Bishop gave the visitors hope of pushing for an equaliser but Graham Weir's second yellow card reduced the Binos to 10 men and ended their hopes of a comeback.

Junior Bryce Denker scored five goals in the win, the second time this season Denker has scored five goals in a game. But Denker didn't start the game with a goal.

Orange22 Botanist Albero Aluminum Picnic Bench
Debuting in 2008, the Botanist Blank Canvas project features the original, limited-edition Collections of eight designers. Each designer began with a blank Botanist end table, cocktail table and bench and then imprinted them with a unique design. Not only are these pieces eco-friendly, durable and stunning, they also give back: a portion of the sale of every product in the Blank Canvas series goes to a charity of the designer''s choice. This bench features the flowing branch design of Joseph Ricchio, who has worked on a multitude of projects in product, furniture and graphic design, with Kara Larsen. What was your inspiration? ''The concept is my expression of the beauty of life. I chose a delicate and elegant branch with dew dropping off of it to represent earth, water and life.'' Why is it important for you to give back? ''DIFFA: Design Industry Fighting Aids. I have been donating to them for many years for a variety of reasons: 1) Larry Pond was the Director of Design at Stendig and introduced my first chair, he began DIFFA and has since died of AIDS, 2) I have a family member that is HIV positive and 3) I believe it is simply a good choice.'' This Design Benefits: A percentage of the sale of the Albero Bench goes to the Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS, one of the country's largest supporters of direct care for people living with HIV/AIDS and preventive education for those at risk.

Royal Challengers Vs SunRisers Hybd - IPL7
Much needed win for the RCB, losing 3 games in a row at the UAE and back in the top 4 after the win against SRH.
Exiting crowd, huge cheer and the advantage of playing in
the home ground and Chinnaswamy is always at its best while hosting
home games for RCB. The match against SRH played at Chinnaswamy
Bengaluru, experienced immense hitting by AB de Villiers when the South
African captain trashed the bowling of his Protean Team mate Dale
Steyn, that was a sight to watch. Certainly IPL's one of the best innings.
Earlier,Rcb had won the toss and decided to bowl first. Rcb had
always been successful when it comes to the chasing at Chinnaswamy and
the bowlers did a fare job. Strac was at his very best, picked up 2
wickets for 21 runs in his 4 overs and the rest went for few runs. David
Warner was the only highest run getter for the SRH, the left handed Aussie
scored a 49 ball 61, his second IPL half century of this season and SRH
managed to post a total of 155 for the loss of 6 wickets.
Much was expected from the Openers, after losing three games
in row, they needed a good start. Chris Gayle and Parthiv Patel were
all set to chase. Not a good start again, Parthiv was castled
away by Bhuvneshwar Kumar, he struck the very first ball he came to
bowl. Just five runs on the board, Royal Challengers had lost their
first wicket and this was not the ideal start for the home team and the
same over saw another shocker, Virat Kohli out for a duck facing just 5
balls and RCB had lost 2 wickets in no time. Chris Gayle too did not last
long, smashing two six's off Ishant Sharma's over, lost his wicket
to Karan Sharma scoring 27 off 19 balls. Newly Signed as a
replacement for Maddinson, Rilee Rossouw and Yuvraj Singh were out for 14
runs. Only Abd could save the Royal Challengers and the run rate was creeping up, needed 11 runs to be scored in every over to
come. RCB had lost 5 wickets for 95 runs and needed a masterclass innings
from Abd, Chinnaswamy witnessed brutal innings when Abd took complete
control of the innings, 59 needed from the last 5 overs. Abd and Starc
added 57 for the 6th wicket, Abd dominated that partnership scoring
most of the runs and Starc had scored only 5 runs. If there had been a
batsman who can score 24 runs off Dale Steyn's over, he would be none other
than Absolutely Brilliant De Villiers, the 19th over saw Ab's
brutal hitting at it's peak, 24 runs scored of that over from Dale
Steyn. Four runs were needed from last six balls and there was a little
bit of tension when Starc was run out and Harshal Patel played out
a dot ball, the next ball Harshal Patel managed to get off the strike
and AB de Villiers was back on strike. A low full toss from Pathan, Ab
smashed that in the gap to the deep midwicket boundary and a win for RCB
with a ball to spare and we are back in the top 4 with 6 points from 6
games. AB de Villiers remained unbeaten on 89 from 41 balls with 8 six's
and 6 four's, certainly a man of the match innings and a well
deserved one.
Keep Cheering! RCB for ever!

Crystal City, Planet Christophsis
Aira-ty crouched low in the debris as she looked down at their targets. There were three of the heavy weapon platforms, all of them placed in a square that was guarded by mounted weapons and droids. She and Skywalker's apprentice were on a high rise with several of her clones, ready to drop down on the enemy below once the fighting started.
She tapped her comlink. "Skywalker, are you ready?"
"Yes." came the Jedi's voice.
"Good, then let's begin." she killed the link and looked around at her platoon. "Alright boys, get ready, it's about to get noisy."
Aira-ty noticed Skywalker's apprentice shifting nervously and reached over, patting the girl on the head.
"Don't worry love, you'll do fine."
The girl's purple skin tinged a darker shade as she nodded. Aira-ty wondered why Skywalker wasn't taking better care of the girl, she was obviously willing to learn and please, so that he would keep her up out of harms way seemed rather silly. Oh well, perhaps he'd get the hang of being a teacher eventually. He had only been such for a few short hours after all.
Aira-ty's thoughts were broken by the sound of blasterfire as the squads under Skywalker opened fire. A missile soared out from the clone firing line and slammed into the static turret closest to them. Aira-ty smiled as all the droids reacted as expected, moving to counter the sudden attack as the HWPs loomed large above them.
"Alright, they're distracted, go go go!" Aira-ty commanded.
She and the clones, along with the Jedi girl, jumped from the building, riding their jetpacks down to the ground. They touched down, Aira-ty looked up to see the Jedi dropping to the ground without a jetpack. She shook her head, insane Jedi. Drawing her blasters, she rushed forwards and started blasting the distracted droids in the back.
"Detpacks, go!" she shouted.
Several of her troopers broke off from the rest and ran towards the weapon platforms. The first group reached their target and placed their charges. The second and third groups weren't as lucky, Aira-ty's heart clenched in pain as three of her troopers were cut down. They were her first casualties, she'd seen and caused death before, but this was different. This was Jango's legacy dying around her. She couldn't allow that.
Hanabi swatted aside a barrage of blaster bolts from a battle droid, twirling her saber and slicing through its hip joint, toppling the droid. She brought her blade back up, swatting aside another course of blasterfire before throwing her hand out, tossing a trio of droids into a tangled heap of metal limbs. There was a flash of red to her right and she turned to see Commander Nokta rushing forwards, her blasters blazing. What was she doing? She was by herself!
She rushed after the charging Mandalorian, deflecting blasterfire as she went and hoping that the commander wouldn't get herself killed. Hanabi wanted to be a good commander, but she didn't want to learn that all on her own, especially if it meant someone had to die for her to prove herself! She rammed her saber into the photoceptors of a heavy battledroid, twisting its head off and pushing it aside with a thrust of the Force.
Turning, she had just enough time to jump out of the way of a fresh volley of bolts. They were going to get killed out here!
"What is she doing!?" General Skywalker shouted in alarm. "She's going to get her killed!"
"We can't get to them without exposing ourselves." Rex cautioned.
The General snarled in annoyance. "I don't care, come on! We're going to help them!"
And just like that, he was up and over their cover and charging at the enemy line, blue saber flashing and swatting aside the incoming fire. Rex swore under his breath.
"I see what you mean." came Jesp's voice over the private link.
Rex didn't reply, jumping up and running after Skywalker. "Platoons two and three come with me, everyone else base of fire!"
The clones charged, and the expected result came all too soon, the entire first rank was cut down by the enemy before the momentum of the charge carried the day as the force of fire took its toll in the mad charge. They were going to be the ones in need of saving soon enough Rex mused miserably.
Aira-ty watched the slaughter with growing panic, she couldn't stand to lose so many, not like this.
"Blow the charges!"
"Ma'am we're too—"
"Blow it now!"
The charges went off, and the HWP erupted, throwing all of them flat on their faces, droids, clones, and all.
Crystal City, Planet Christophsis
Ventress stopped her speeder bike and listened as the explosion echoed throughout the city. Was Loathsome conducting an attack?
"This is Ventress, report."
"A weapons emplacement is under attack by the Republic."
Ventress smiled. The Republic had come out of their hole? This might be fun.
"Give me the coordinates."
The emplacement wasn't far. She accelerated through the city streets, gaining speed as she sped towards the source of the explosion.
Crystal City, Planet Christophsis
"Anakin, Anakin are you there?"
Anakin shook his head, picking himself up and staggering to his feet. He grabbed his comlink and hit the activation.
"I'm here, Obi-Wan, I'm here."
"What happened? We heard that from here."
"Charges went off prematurely." Anakin looked around. "Droids are all smashed up, so are our troops. Two of the weapons platforms are still active." the repulsor engines on both craft began to rumble, Anakin cursed. "They're moving, gotta go!"
"Anakin wait!" but Obi-Wan didn't get to finish as Anakin set aside the comlink and rushed forwards.
Anakin turned to see that the platoons that had remained behind were still intact.
"Missiles!" Anakin shouted, pointing at the nearest of the weapons platforms.
Without question, a volley of missiles flew out of their tubes and slammed into the rear of the first platform. The engine block erupted and the platform sank back down onto the ground with a deafening thud that sent shockwaves through the ground. The second platform had turned by that point and Anakin watched in mounting alarm as its blaster cannons opened fire on his troops. They all ducked down behind cover as the weapons blasted away at the troops. Then Anakin saw something that stopped his heart. His apprentice was on her feet and running forwards. She raised her lightsaber and slashed at the oncoming blaster bolt. It threw her off her feet, but she was able to deviate its path.
Anakin rushed in to join her, covering the second firing arc of the weapons platform's defense blasters.
"You're insane." he roared as he caught one of the bolts on his saber and deflected it upwards.
"Sorry Master." Hanabi replied, sounding honestly sorry. "I didn't want anyone else to get hurt!" she shrieked in alarm as she swatted away another bolt of her own. "Master, I don't think this was a good idea! My arm is getting tired!"
Anakin had to agree, he didn't know how many of the massive bolts he could deflect. As if to exemplify the point, another bolt almost wrenched his saber out of his hand.
Jesp got to his feet haltingly, where was everyone? He looked around and found out, most of the two platoons that had charged were lying on the ground. He fought back a strange surge of emotion as the sound of blasterfire drew his attention behind him. General Skywalker and Commander Iyoto were standing between the remains of the two companies that they'd started with. To his shock, they were actually blocking its blasterfire. He staggered forwards, still unsteady on his feet even as he reached down and pulled out a grenade.
He triggered his jetpack and rocketed upwards, landing atop the HWP's engine house. He dropped down to one knee, pulled the pin, and shoved it down an exhaust vent before jumping clear.
The grenade detonated and threw Jesp through the air, he landed with a crunch, rolling and coming to a kneeling position. He turned just in time to see the platform crash to the ground, black smoke rising from its engines.
"You're insane."
He turned to find Captain Rex standing besides him.
"Sorry." Jesp said sheepishly.
"Don't apologize, after that, we needed something insane to save us!"
Jesp nodded, smiling beneath his helmet at the other captain as he got to his feet.
"Too many." Rex growled.
Jesp simply nodded, looking around at the white armored bodies of their fallen brethren. Many of them were moving, picking themselves up and helping their brothers to their feet as well. Maybe it hadn't been nearly as bad as he'd feared.
"What in the name of the Force were you thinking!?"
Jesp jerked around to see General Skywalker storming towards Commander Nokta. His fears rekindled instantly.
Aira-ty stood her ground as Skywalker glowered at her. "I was trying to save our men from getting slaughtered."
"First you put my Padawan in danger." Skywalker snarled. "When you were supposed to be keeping her safe, then you nearly get all of us killed by detonating charges when we're all standing right on top of them!"
Aira-ty stared back at him icily, not that he could see it behind her visor.
"Listen here Jedi, you want to keep your apprentice safe, keep her by you. Don't expect me to babysit, I have other priorities. I saved your troopers from your own reckless charge, we were doing just fine until that happened."
"Says the woman who rushed into the middle of a company of droids!" he barked at her.
Aira-ty opened her mouth to reply but was forestalled by a chill voice that sent shivers down her spine.
"Oh look, the Jedi is bickering with his toy soldiers, how charming."
They both turned to see a black robed figure standing a short distance away, her features were not discernable under the hood but Aira-ty didn't need to see her face to know the posture of a killer. Now what?
Ventress was irritated. She had apparently arrived too late to save the weapon platforms, but even worse, she had missed the combat. She'd wanted to enjoy herself, now though it looked like all the droids were destroyed, and the clones were busy picking themselves up. Oh well, she'd just have to put them back down.
She ignited her sabers, the twin red blades jutting out from the handle and hissing angrily as their charges crackled in the air.
Glancing at the Padawan, she chuckled. "You Jedi are so irresponsible, bringing little children out into a warzone, they might get hurt."
The Knight, Skywalker, stepped between her and the girl. "You're a Sith."
Ventress' eye twitched in annoyance. "As near as makes no difference." she raised her saber and pointed one of its blades at him. "You're going to die Jedi."

Kahan stiffened suddenly, he recognized that presence, what was—
"Master Kahan?" Master Kenobi inquired.
"Quiet." Kahan said. "The Sith is here."
Kenobi's face fell. "There is a Sith here?"
"She was in orbit, it seems she's planetside now, and fighting Skywalker."
"Anakin is in danger then."
"If he hasn't improved since Geonosis, then yes." Kahan looked at Kenobi. "Has he?"
"Against droids? Certainly. How good he is against a single Sith...I don't know."
Kahan nodded. "I was afraid of that, contact him, tell him that I will deal with the Sith."
"You? How? You're here."
"I don't need to be there to defeat her." Kahan smiled wryly. "In fact being there would probably be to my detriment, from here I can distract her sufficiently to give Skywalker and the rest a chance to escape."
And with that, Kahan sank into a meditative state, reaching across the Force towards the burning embers of hatred, sorrow and fear that marked the Sith. She was hard to miss amidst the clones and Jedi, in fact she burned almost as brightly as Skywalker did within the Force. That Skywalker stood out as well was no surprise, he was supposed to be the Chosen One, as silly a notion as that might be.
Crystal City, Planet Christophsis
"Anakin, can you hear me?"
Anakin swore as he deflected another of the Sith's withering attacks, fighting to concentrate as he shouted back with his thoughts to Obi-Wan.
"A little busy here!"
"I know, Master Kahan is going to distract her. When he does, escape. Is Hanabi safe?"
"She and the clones are clear. It's just me now."
"Alright, stay alive."
Anakin gritted his teeth as the Sith struck again. Staying alive wasn't his goal, that he would survive was never in doubt. What he would do to this Sith was the real question. Then suddenly, she swung wide and staggered blindly off to one side.
Anakin blinked in bewilderment but Obi-Wan's voice cut across his thoughts once more.
"Anakin, now's your chance."
Ventress didn't feel it at first. No, the first real hint that something was wrong was when her vision blurred for a moment. She blinked, and realized that she could no longer see Skywalker. Where was he? For that matter, where was she? Everything was dark.
"For such a skilled swordswoman, your mind is awfully fragile."
She spun and found an entirely different Jedi standing before her. He was staring at her with deep blue eyes. He raised his hand and brushed his long black hair out of his eyes.
"If you intend to fight Jedi, you might want to work on that."
"Who are you?" she snapped, and then answered her own question. "You." she snarled. "Get out of my head!"
"I think you mean get 'us' out of your head Sith." he replied with a quiet smile. "And no, I'm afraid you're not in control here."
"It's my mind!" she roared, taking a step towards him and pushing back at his presence.
He snorted, his smile remained untouched as she glared daggers at him.
"It is, but for the time being I'm making use of it." his eyes met hers, boring into her skull. "You're remarkably powerful, but untrained. Like a steed that needs to be broken in with harness."
"I am not some animal to be broken!" she shrieked, flying at him with an upraised fist.
He stepped aside and she sailed past him. She felt his boot connect with the small of her back and she toppled. She felt so weak and helpless. She hated him for it, she would kill him, she would. She swore it.
Anakin stared at the Sith in bewilderment. She was standing stock still, her eyes wide and staring and he swore she was crying. He looked at her dual sabers glowing red in her hands. This was his chance, he raised his saber.
"No." Master Kahan's voice shot across his mind like a thunderclap.
"She's vulnerable!" Anakin protested. "I can kill her!"
"You will do no such thing."
Anakin made to protest further but was cut short.
"If you take one more step towards her I will release her from my control and believe me, you do not want to be there when that happens. Fall back to base, now."
Anakin bit his lip but didn't say anything further, turning his back on the Sith and stalking away into the city back towards the Republic lines.
Aboard the Republic Assault Ship Jelial, Crystal City, Planet Christophsis
Kahan waited until Skywalker was well away from the Sith before finally releasing his grip on her.
"I will hunt you down and kill you!" she snarled as he faded from her mind.
"Of that I have no doubt, hopefully your mind will be better protected at that time." he replied easily. "If not then it will end the same way."
And with that he severed the connection, turning to Master Kenobi. "Skywalker wanted to kill the Sith while she was helpless."
"He has a temper." Kenobi replied. He didn't sound surprised, though he was apparently worried. "It's a flaw I was never able to extinguish."
Kahan nodded. "I will keep that in mind in the future." he wiped the sweat from his brow. "Master Kenobi, might I trouble you for something?"
Kenobi frowned. "What would that be?"
"I'd like a set of armor, preferably something with command ciruitry installed."
"I think we can find something like that." Master Kenobi said. "Cody should have a few spare commander armors available."

"So the strongpoints are all set up with interlocking lines of fire so they can each support the other." Lana said.
"That's right." Cody replied.
Lana beamed. "I did some reading on the trip here. I think I'm almost as good at war as you are Cody."
The clone commander shrugged. "Academics and combat experience are two different things. I'll believe you know what you're doing after you've proven yourself in a few firefights."
Lana stuck her tongue out. "That's not fair. I'm a Jedi, you're supposed to follow my orders."
"And I will, within reason." Cody said. "But an inexperienced commander isn't one I'll follow orders from blindly."
"Fine." huffed Lana. "I'll just have to show you that I know what I'm doing."
Cody said nothing to that as they walked inwards towards the heavy cannons covering the main avenues of approach to the Republic positions. It was these cannons that had enabled them to hold their own despite the superior numbers of the Separatist forces. Even with the two additional legions and armor brought by General Kahan they were still far too heavily outnumbered to fight head to head against the Seps. It was a precarious situation, one in which Cody found himself at a disadvantage. He looked down at the Jedi Commander as she strolled besides him, seemingly carefree as she strolled about with her hands up behind her head as she looked around at the fortifications and weapons around them.
It had taken some getting used to, dealing with the fact that children like this were over him in the chain of command. It was with something of a rude shock that he and his brother clones had realized that even the Jedi Generals who were supposed to lead them knew less about war than the most junior private. It was a saving grace that most if not all knew how to fight at the very least. Still, tactics and strategy had to be learned, and their silly desire to preserve life abolished. It wasn't that Cody devalued his life or the lives of his brothers, no, far from it. It was that he understood that their lives were inconsequential when compared to the greater good of the Republic. Sometimes he suspected that Generals Kenobi and Skywalker forgot that.
He paused, frowning as his helmet triggered an alert. He turned to look in the direction of the alert. What was that trooper doing? He wasn't authorized in the munitions dump.
"Sergeant!" Cody shouted.
The clone stiffened and turned to look at him. "Sir?"
"Just what do you think you're doing here?"
As an answer, the trooper raised his blaster and opened fire.
"Cody watch out!" shrieked Lana, she leapt in front of him, her saber igniting as she swatted away the incoming fire.
"Don't fire!" shouted Cody over the comlink to his escorts. "You'll hit the ammo!"
The sergeant stopped for a moment, raising something up in his hand. "Down with the Republic!"
"Commander!" Cody shouted as he watched the sergeant's finger depress on the detonator."
He ran forwards and grabbed Lana, turning her away from the resultant blast which threw them both into the air. He heard her screaming but didn't let go, rolling with the girl tucked against his armor before they came to a stop.
"Commander Cody! Commander N'ahrr!" shouted a trooper as Cody lost consciousness.
Lana pushed Cody's body off of her as the troopers helped her to her feet. She looked at the flaming pile of wreckage that had been the munitions bunker and tried to steady her heart. She looked at Cody and felt bile rise to her throat. He had a piece of shrapnel imbedded in his side, it had cut clean through his armor.
"M—medic!" she shouted needlessly. One of the troopers was already administering first aid.
She turned away from the sight of Cody's bloody body to see the battered sergeant stumbling away from the site. Anger rose up inside of her then and she reached out with the Force, slamming him into the ground with a thought.
"Troopers!" she cried. "Get him!"
It didn't take but a moment for the members of the escort to tackle the already pinned trooper. Lana marched up to him and with a little help from two other troopers got him to his feet. She wrenched his helmet off, glaring down at the face that stared back at her angrily.
"Why?" she asked.
The sergeant said nothing, his eyes blazing with a hatred that staggered Lana. She turned away.
"Take him to—take him to the assault ship...tell Master Kenobi." she managed.
Turning to the blazing inferno that had been the munitions bunker, she realized something. There had been others in there. She turned back to the sergeant as he was led away. He'd killed his own side...without a second thought. Was this war?

The brief scene is telling in many ways, but only telling enough to raise many more questions. For those keeping score, Breaking Bad began on Walter White's 50th birthday – so this is, in a way, Gilligan illustrating to his audience just how far Walt has traveled and in what amount of time. More clues come while Walt is making the purchase from Lawson in the men's restroom. Lawson demands the artillery not cross the border, to which Walt replies it's not even going to leave town – meaning someone is likely about to be on the receiving end of the machine gun. After Lawson wishes him good luck and leaves, Walt dry swallows a prescription pill of some kind, which will undoubtedly leave viewers questioning whether or not his cancer has come back.
Finally, as he's exiting the restaurant, leaving a $100 bill under his untouched plate, the waitress addresses Walt as Mr. Lambert – the maiden name of his wife, Skyler (Anna Gunn). In addition to everything the audience is asked to take in, Walt's choice of alias presents a whole slew of questions on its own. Again, Gilligan should be commended for the precision of his approach: it's purposeful and direct without giving everything away.

Seymour pillar leads auditorium project
People lucky enough to have been raised in a close-knit town such as Seymour often say they'd like to do something good for the old home place.
To leave some gift that would honor wonderful memories but make the future brighter for generations to come.
Former Texas legislator and district judge Clyde Whiteside found his chance to give back in the peeling plaster and weathered chairs of Seymour's City Hall Auditorium.
After more than 50 years of disuse and decay, he has funded its resurrection into a handsome performance while retaining its historic patina.
"Before the schools had their own auditoriums, they had commencements here. Everybody in town came to attend plays, choral performances and programs," said Whiteside, looking across the rows of folding theater seats, each with a rack underneath made to hold a gentleman's hat.
"As a matter of fact, I played my first piano recital here when I was 10 years old."
Built in 1924 on the site of the old Seymour Opera House, the hall originally seated more than 600 people and served as a cultural hub for the community. Eventually movie projection equipment was added to
attract audiences, but by the 1950s, the lack of air conditioning made tickets a tough sell.
When Whiteside saw it again in 2010, pigeons had roosted on its curtain rails, and pieces of the coffered ceiling were falling. He started by providing enough money to update the electrical wiring
"Like a lot of things in life, it gets down to the money," said Seymour City Manager John Studer. "We were able to keep the space dry with a new roof and repair the windows, but everything was waiting for the time when there would be more resources. Things began moving much quicker when Judge Whiteside stepped up."
The Seymour Texas Auditorium Restoration Council was organized to oversee the project with a clear understanding of Whiteside's terms: They would be given a free hand by the City Council, and repairs would be done with high-quality materials by skilled workers.
Fresh plaster, restored decorative elements, acoustic improvements and modern sound equipment, access for people with disabilities and efficient heating and air conditioning covered the basics. Rich red custom draperies frame the stagefront, while blue velvet drapes, donated by the Graham Theater, define the back. Original footlights were restored.
Whiteside and assistant Edgar Shockley next sought out things performers would appreciate like a Steinway grand piano and high-end Baldwin pipe organ. Dressing rooms have been handsomely furnished.
"But the judge made sure that these weren't covered up," said Shockley, pointing out signatures left on backstage walls by musicians and actors decades ago.
The Whiteside family story in Baylor County goes back to 1888 when Clyde's grandfather settled in the area. His father, C.S. Whiteside, was Seymour's first mayor, who helped establish infrastructure like water and sewer systems and paved brick streets.
After graduating from Seymour High School and Baylor Law School, Whiteside went home to become the youngest representative elected to the Texas House. He was instrumental in founding the state's farm-to-market road system. Judgeships would take him away from Seymour, but he never forgot the times of his youth, many spent with his family at performances in the city auditorium.
It will now be known as the Whiteside Center for the Performing Arts. Although well-known musicians like the Quebe Sisters, The Ramblers, Red, White and Blue and performance artist Tumbleweed Smith have played the venue, a free grand opening concert is scheduled Sunday.
Organists Kiyo Watanabe and wife Chiemi Watanabe will add their names to the backstage wall.
"There are a few more things to be completed — the folks from Ward & Probst will be here next week to install the organ, and we're still hanging pictures," said Whiteside. A 33rd-degree Mason, he commissioned paintings of George Washington, the "father" of American Masonry, Sam Houston, the founder of Texas Masonry, and President Harry Truman, a Mason whose aunt and uncle farmed in Baylor County.
"I think a lot of people will enjoy this."
Whiteside says his next project may take a turn from history to prehistory. With Baylor County's record of Permian age fossil discoveries, he hopes to find a place to display the Dimetrodon skeleton found by the Houston Museum of Natural Science field team in 2010.

Nicholson was sworn in on February 1, 2005. He has also served in the Bush administration as U.S. ambassador to the Vatican and was a former chairman of the Republican National Committee.
Well now, those certainly are sterling credentials for a VA administrator to have. Much better than supervising horse shows.
What really gets me is that Bush doesn't give a damn that when he puts totally unqualified people in charge of something it will come back to bite him in the ass. Gonzales is a complete embarassment to him but he doesn't care because Gonzo does what Bush wants him to do, legal or not. Certoff dopped the ball during Katrina. He is the man responsible for homeland security. But he laid that one off on "heck of a job Brownie" even after Brown proved he had made many futile attempts to contact him. The way they had restructured, Brown did not have the authority to order the things needed. Maybe he didn't know what to do but he should have been able to contact those who make the decisions.
Bush just doesn't care what people think. that is the mentality of a dictator. The only reason he took the responsibility for Katrina was because it was a necessary political move and took the heat off of Certoff who, like Gonzo does exactly what Bush wants. He installs these people in all the administrative jobs so that he can be the dictator. He wasn't kidding when he said he was the "decider." He decides everything and his stooges do the bidding. That is one way to create a dictatorship.

Republicans need to take four seats from Democrats to win control of the Senate, and twice as many Democratic seats are up for grabs this year as Republican seats.
Tea party defenders, for their part, say the Senate outcome can't be pinned on just one or two races. And they are looking around the country and noting establishment candidates locked in tight Senate races on Republican turf in North Dakota and Montana. If the GOP loses those seats, they ask, whose fault is that? They look, too, at candidates lauded by the Republican establishment who never gained traction, like former Rep. Heather Wilson in New Mexico, and ask, What happened there?
Democrats, moreover, have mustered strong candidates for races like Indiana.
Considering those factors, the argument that conservatives cost the party a Senate majority in 2012 "is a very selective narrative," says Matt Kibbe, president of FreedomWorks, a fiscally conservative group that helped prevent Sen. Bob Bennett (R) of Utah from winning the party nomination in 2010.
But some party regulars continue to see problems stemming from the influence of the far right on the nominating process.

Bebe bow headband
Headbands are being see in a variety of colors and styles today. I still remember when I thought it was a little obnoxious to wear headbands, but now they are coming out with so many different styles it is easy to find something that goes along with your wardrobe or personality. The big question is, where can you find deals on them, and what can you do to get the most bang for your buck.
The truth is, many headbands are simple to make. You can buy the simple headband at any Walgreens, CVS, or Target, then hit up a craft store and deck it out to your taste. I personally have a love for flowers and bows lately, but feathers are really popular right now as well.
The bow headband above is from Bebe, and it is actually 39 dollars. The truth is places like Forever 21, and Urban outfitters have similar styles for half or a third of that price.
The next hard thing is finding one that either fits your head, or is comfortable. In my experience, it seems that the best headbands are the stretchy ones. You can maneuver them in any way you like. Urban Outfitters has a stretch headband with a flower on it. Its 16 dollars, but looks so darn cute.
I think headbands are a great accessory to add to the wardrobe whether it is one you made yourself or one you purchased, they can go a long way, and the best thing is that it can make a bad hair day look great!

Jersey group reintroduces Red-Billed Chough
A species of bird that has not thrived in Jersey for a century is being reintroduced by an environmental group.
The Red-Billed Chough is a black, crow-like bird with a red beak and is the main species involved in a Jersey conservation project.
The Birds on the Edge programme aims to restore the natural diversity of the north coast of the island.
Dr Glyn Young, leading the project said the birds were born in captivity but hoped they would thrive in the island.
- Return the red-billed chough to its former home
- Highlight the coastland restoration work
- Become a flagship and focus for the state of the natural environment in Jersey
He said the aim was to allow the birds out for short periods to allow them to gradually adjust to the wild.
"On Friday two of the birds introduced themselves to the wild and have been living in the quarry in Ronez ever since. We have been monitoring them every waking hour and they are thriving.
"There was a heart-in-mouth moment when we watched a peregrine attack the pair but they recognised the threat and, in mid-air, on the longest flight of their lives fought it off.
"During the attack the falcon grabbed one of the chough pair by the legs but let go pretty quickly.
"One chough went to ground to avoid the persistent falcon but the pair were quickly re-united and seemed unfazed."
There were seven birds in total and Dr Young said he would continue with the slow release for the other five.

Detailed Description
Use WorkerScript to run operations in a new thread. This is useful for running operations in the background so that the main GUI thread is not blocked.
Messages can be passed between the new thread and the parent thread using sendMessage() and the onMessage() handler.
An example:
import QtQuick 1.0 Rectangle { width: 300; height: 300 Text { id: myText text: 'Click anywhere' } WorkerScript { id: myWorker source: "script.js" onMessage: myText.text = messageObject.reply } MouseArea { anchors.fill: parent onClicked: myWorker.sendMessage({ 'x': mouse.x, 'y': mouse.y }) } }
The above worker script specifies a JavaScript file, "script.js", that handles the operations to be performed in the new thread. Here is script.js:
WorkerScript.onMessage = function(message) { // ... long-running operations and calculations are done here WorkerScript.sendMessage({ 'reply': 'Mouse is at ' + message.x + ',' + message.y }) }
When the user clicks anywhere within the rectangle, sendMessage() is called, triggering the WorkerScript.onMessage() handler in script.js. This in turn sends a reply message that is then received by the onMessage() handler of myWorker.
Since the WorkerScript.onMessage() function is run in a separate thread, the JavaScript file is evaluated in a context separate from the main QML engine. This means that unlike an ordinary JavaScript file that is imported into QML, the script.js in the above example cannot access the properties, methods or other attributes of the QML item, nor can it access any context properties set on the QML object through QDeclarativeContext.
Additionally, there are restrictions on the types of values that can be passed to and from the worker script. See the sendMessage() documentation for details.

Property Documentation
source : url |
This holds the url of the JavaScript file that implements the WorkerScript.onMessage() handler for threaded operations.
Signal Handler Documentation
This handler is called when a message msg is received from a worker script in another thread through a call to sendMessage().
Method Documentation
Sends the given message to a worker script handler in another thread. The other worker script handler can receive this message through the onMessage() handler.
The message object may only contain values of the following types:
- boolean, number, string
- JavaScript objects and arrays
- ListModel objects (any other type of QObject* is not allowed)
All objects and arrays are copied to the message. With the exception of ListModel objects, any modifications by the other thread to an object passed in message will not be reflected in the original object.
