SALT LAKE CITY — Lincoln Elementary third-grade student Rooney Gordon let out a loud, high-pitched scream that startled the people around her as she tore the wrapping paper off several gifts.
Inside Gordon's treasure trove were a pair of boots, a doll, a baby blue robe and — most importantly — an Austin & Ally CD.
"I'm super excited," Gordon said after jumping up and down several times. "This is my favorite singer of all time."
It was a scene repeated often Thursday morning in the gymnasium of Lincoln Elementary as each of the school's approximately 600 students received presents they needed — like coats, gloves and shoes — and presents they wanted — like toy cars, scooters and sports equipment.
Roughly half of the student body at Lincoln Elementary is learning English as a second language, principal Christine Pittam said, and a majority of the student body comes from low-income households.
"This is a good day to be an educator," Pittam said while observing the melee of discarded packaging, bouncing balls and remote-control cars zipping around the floor. "For some of our low-income families, this might be the biggest part of Christmas for these kids."
The gift-giving event, called Christmas Wishes, is organized by the Utah Central Credit Union and has been held at Lincoln for the past 17 years, credit union regional president Bruce Bryan said. He said each year the students write Christmas lists on ornaments that are displayed in Utah Central Credit Union branches, which are then claimed by individuals or businesses to purchase the items.
"When we first came in here, we wanted to just take care of a handful of kids," Bryan said. "But after talking with the principal we knew there was a need for the entire school."
Bryan said each student receives at least one "need" item and one "want" item and in the future organizers hope to expand the program to other schools with low-income populations.
"It means so much to these kids," he said.
Pittam described the program as miraculous, in that children who may not have otherwise received any gifts for Christmas are able to get items that they individually need and asked for, all due to the kindness of complete strangers. She was also appreciative to the organizers for making sure no student, regardless of the severity of their family's financial needs, is left out of the fun.
Pittam said the Christmas Wishes event has a special way of bringing the community together and is something both students and faculty look forward to.
"We get to have Christmas with our own families and have Christmas with our school family as well," she said.

Imaging American Women: Idea and Ideals in Cultural History
The Beautiful Charmer, the Outdoors Pal, the Winged Angel, the Amazon Queen: these diverse images of women were ubiquitous presences in turn-of-the-century American life to be seen on billboards and theater posters, in society portraits, amateur tableaux, and cemetery art. All these images were evolving toward the forceful image of the New Woman which brought pleasure to those who desired the advancement of women's rights and anxiety to others who feared the displacement of the True Woman. Using more than 500 illustrations, Martha Banta examines the ways women were being looked at in the United States during the volatile age spanning the Centennial years of the 1870s and the close of World War I.

Mushroomhead Halloween Show Aaron Osborn In the mosh pit, I am surrounded by a thousand people. Most of us are fighting. Or at least it seems like it, to the uninformed. The huge circle of fans churns and twists with the music. It is a large mass of skin and bodies, anger and sweat. I see in front of me, there are people larger than average, thrashing their arms. It is dark, and all we get to see with is the blink of strobe lighting. They don't help. We are blinded by the light. I am on the edge of the pit, and waiting. Waiting for my time. There are many people in there. They seem angry, but they are friendly when it comes down to it. You fall, they pick you up. Then they knock you down again. Again you're helped up. Mushroomhead is onstage and they are quite loud. The music drives us, and they urge continuance by telling us to show them what we've got. We do… One by one, they are dragged out of the pit, unconscious. We don't stop. The confetti builds up under our feet. I can hardly walk now; there is a definite pile of papers. And it is soon time to get into the pit. I leap forward into utter insanity. One large fan after another slam into me, and still I am not broken. I continue, thrashing around. Some punch me. Some kick me. Some head-butt me. I receive many a painful elbow to the stomach. It hurts, but I love this song. We are hearing Xeroxed. I won't stop until the band does. Here we have someone angrily pushing his way past me in the pit. I push him hard away; he stumbles backwards into another person. In turn, they push him back. It's still dark and difficult to see. I feel long, wet hair slap my arm. There is a girl. She is going crazy next to me, and her hair is flying everywhere. I move away, not wanting to hurt her. I am at the other side of the pit, and there is a large male running toward me. Collision. And I am on the floor. My elbow hits first and painfully. The sharp bite of the concrete runs up my arm; I roll quickly to my feet. My arm is throbbing and there's anther pain. But my arm hurts more. Someone dumps water on my head before throwing the bottle. That feels good. Wondering if I'm bleeding. I can't see it. There is a jumpsuit in the way. I am completely covered in jumpsuit; paying homage to the almighty Shroom. But my mask is gone. Didn't make it past security. Why? "You can't breathe with a mask on"? We'll see about that next time. At least security doesn't frown upon my jumpsuit. At that point they would have gotten the finger. Back. I ignore the pain and return to the carnage. It is midnight and a half. Onstage, the band blasts us all with sound. The masks are different. Not classic Mushroomhead. It is their Halloween show, so this is unique. The masks are… pumpkins. Pumpkins merged with their usual mask. Very menacing. These are some pissed off pumpkins. And these pissed off pumpkins sure can rock. Heavy metal fills the theater. Our ears are subject to the angry screams of J Mann. The almost-melodic off key singing of Jeffrey Nothing. The sharp, to-the-point keyboarding of Shmotz. The loud, crunching riffs of Gravy and Bronson. The strange samples brought to us by Stitch. The gut smashing bass lines of Benis. And of course the ear bleeding drum pounds of Skinny. Easy listening, this is not. Expecting something soothing? Welcome to hell. 50 minutes pass. I want to see the show from another angle. Goodbye to the pit. We had fun. I pass a variety of people. You are a goth with chains and pale makeup. You are a muscular guy with a tight shirt on, trying to impress someone. You, you, and you are all wearing custom Mushroomhead masks. How did you get in? You and you both have paint on to honor J Mann. Hey, you are a very nice looking female with a lack of clothing. Not bad. Nice wings. Continuing, lots of people are looking at me. Stop it. What?! Climbing stairs, up to the balcony. This is where my friends are still. My seat is taken, so I stand against the rails. I am soaked in sweat, and it is starting to cool off. The water poured on my head is helping a lot. I am overcome by a good feeling. I have survived the pit once again, am listening to one of my favorite bands, and there are lots of cool people about. Life is good. Mushroomhead nears the end of their set. Not good. They come back for an encore and what do they play? Simpleton! Finally, I get to hear Simpleton live!! Sounds good. Wait for it… here it is… and NOW! J Mann breaks into the screams of the latter half of the song. I can see the pit erupt from here. This song is awesome. Awesome and short. It's over. And now Gravy takes his mask off to make an announcement. Haha, I can see why he's not a singer. What a weak voice. He's telling us that it's J Mann's birthday. And we all sing Happy Birthday to him. He comes out, and we get our encore. And the show ends with the hard techno music, again. But this isn't the same as other Mushroomhead concerts I've been to. What's this? About 30 girls crowd the stage and start dancing. It also seems that most of them aren't wearing a shirt. That's certainly entertaining. It looks like 75% of the crowd is staying for about 15 minutes after the band has left the stage. Well, I think we should get going.

Thanks so much, everyone. ;o)
Nope. Substitute the one for the other, the two are pretty equally acidic. I do it all the time, as I always have honey on hand, but often don't remember to replace molasses when I use the last of it.
Suzanne is a trusted source on General Cooking.
Thats so good to know, I wondered also. Thanks boulangere!
And there's no one else in the house to remind me of it. Like, "Mom! Did you know we're out of dog food?" about 9:59 at night, just as the last store closes at 10. I'm no better off now than I was then.
Molasses attracts and holds moisture better than honey so you may have to experiment a little with additional liquid.
In my experience, honey is much more hygroscopic.

Paddy, 3 year old blue and white heavy cob colt. Owned since a foal. Bred directly out of the Rooney Horse, a heavy stepping gypsy cob stallion and out of a 15hh dapple grey mare. He should mature to around 14.3hh.
This young cob has excellent movement, he steps very well and really picks up his feet. He is something for the future! An excellent project ready to break for driving. He is quiet when caught however he has not been handled in a while and turned out in 10 acres with a broodmare, so he will need bringing back to it all. He comes to call and he is sensible.
Absolute bargain. No time wasters, collection only I have no transport. Paddy is an extremely good doer, he has been living out ever since I have owned him. Lost interest due to focusing on dog breeding. May swap, px. Give me a call any time to discuss, many thanks.

Beautiful Appaloosa x Welsh mare, 14.3hh, rising 7 years old in June. She is good to shoe, to box, in the stable. She is in a snaffle bit and is good to school.
She is good to hack in company, will lead and follow but does need a confident rider to hack out alone. Ideal for small adult or experienced teenager due to being forward going.
She is a kind mare. Would exceed in competitions, showing and even cross country. Very, very sad sale due to no fault of her own.

We are regrettably selling our Blackjack as my daughters college commitments has restricted her time with him and we just feel it's not fair on him as he loves company so much. Blackjack is 15h and is 6 years old will be 7 in May 2015. Blackjack is good with other horses and loves being ridden and going out in cart.
Blackjack is a fantastic jumper and is brilliant with his teeth and hooves being done and enjoys his regular vet visits as he likes all the fussing. Inoculations and worming not needed until September 15 and he's really good to box and doesn't give you any trouble. Blackjack is great with traffic and hacks out on his own or in company and is brilliant around children.
All in all, Blackjack is a super horse and it breaks our hearts to let him go but for his sake he needs someone who can give him more time then my daughter has to share and ride him regularly. Must go to a 5 star home, someone that is going to love him and have time to spend with him.

Thursday, July 8, 2010
3M Company's Construction and Home Improvement Markets Division (St. Paul, Minn.) introduced several jobsite protection products for painting and construction projects that the company says were developed with input from painters.
The products include the following.
• The Hand-Masker™ Dirt Catcher Super Sticky Mats are designed to help reduce tracking of dirt and debris on job sites. The mat, when placed at entrances and exits to work areas, grabs dirt and helps keep the entire job site cleaner, the company says.
The durable mat comes with a non-skid backing and a pad of 15 sheets that peel off, one at a time. When the mat is filled with dirt, the top sheet is simply peeled away to expose a clean one.
The mats are available in a starter pack that includes one reusable, non-skid mat and 15 super-sticky sheets. A refill pad with 15 sheets is also sold separately; the products are available in paint, hardware, and home-improvement retail outlets.
• The Hand-Masker™ Flex & Form Conformable Runner is reported to offer quick and versatile surface protection during construction and paint jobs. The runner's conformable edge material allows users to bend, wrap, or fold the edge so it stays in place—around banisters, railings, cabinets, against walls, up staircases, and around other elements. In the event of a spill, the runner's 10-ounce, professional-grade canvas is thick enough to protect surfaces while it is moved away, the company says.
The runner is offered in two configurations: a one-sided conformable edge for floors, railings, banisters, cabinets, countertops, and other elements, and a two-sided conformable edge designed to hold its shape on staircases, despite foot traffic. The product is available through paint dealers.
• The Hand-Masker™ Floor Gripper Anti-Slip Runner is described as a surface-gripping runner that protects floors from tracking or spills while providing a slip-resistant surface. The runner is reported to firmly grip a variety of interior and exterior surfaces such as carpet, hardwood, tile, and concrete without the use of adhesive, so it can be repositioned and reused.
The runner offers dual-action, anti-skid, anti-slip surface protection, with surface-gripping properties that ensure the runner won't slide out from underfoot. The runner can be used with or without a traditional drop cloth; when used with a drop cloth, it helps hold canvas in place.
The reusable, puncture- and solvent-resistant runner provides a leakproof, anti-skid protective surface that repositions easily without floor damage and leaves no residue behind, the company says. The runner also can be cleaned and reused repeatedly.
The 3.5-foot-wide runner is available in 15- and 50-foot lengths, either folded or on a roll that can be cut to length. It is available through most paint dealers.

Ulster v Northampton - Live
Full-time Ulster 9-10 Northampton
80 Northampton's pack grind out the penalty with forty seconds left. Myler finds touch in Ulster's half and Saints secure the ball, moving the maul forward... Myler finds touch and Northampton win at Ravenhill! A huge response from last week's loss at home. A gritty thrillier in Belfast.
79 One last attack from Ulster with a minute and a half remaining. Knocked forward however and Northampton have the scrum.
78 Bowe departs to generous applause from the home crowd. Pienaar lines up the shot at goal... it's wide! Northampton cling on.
77 Play stopped for Bowe's injury; happened in the tackle with Jamie Elliott. Looks in some pain, instant concerns over his availability for Ireland and the Lions.
77 Ulster break again through Bowe, but he is unable to recycle cleanly and Ulster have a penalty! Calls for a forward pass from Marshall but waved on. Wide on the right around 40 metres out, Pienaar has a chance to give Ulster the lead with three minutes left... stretcher is on for Bowe.
76 A crucial steal at the lineout gives Northampton possession deep in Ulster territory, but the ball is stuck and Ulster win the scrum.
74 Roger Wilson knocks on against his old team to hand Northampton first a scrum and then crucial field position following Myler's kick to touch in Ulster's 22.
72 A scrappy lineout from Northampton hands Ulster another scrum, the hosts running out of time to take back the lead.
69 More power from Northampton's scrum hands them a penalty. Saints attack down the right through Dowson before Myler drops back for the drop goal. It's charged down and Luke Marshall sprints away before being turned over for a Northampton penalty.
66 Pienaar finds touch with an excellent kick but Northampton secure the lineout. Gilroy's pass looks forward but play continues, Ulster building the phases before Williams inexplicably knocks on.
64 No try - scrum to Ulster five metres out. Reset, but Northampton power through and win the penalty, hanging on in front of their try line.
63 Bowe makes a half break down the right wing, but his offload is scooped up by Elliott. Ulster have the lineout five metres out and use their forwards, driving for the line. Time is stopped... Nick Williams not certain if he's scored.
60 Both sides making persistent errors in attack resulting in multiple changes of possession - Northampton settling things down with a 22 dropout.
56 Trimble gathers a Dickson box kick and sets off, but play is stopped after the touch judge raises his flag. Clark is penalised for a high tackle but avoids the bin. Craig Gilroy on for Trimble.
54 Brian Mujati comes on for Northampton, but Ulster win the penalty at the scrum.
51 Free kick to Northampton from the scrum, who opt to pack down again. May bursts through in midfield but Myler's wide kick goes straight into touch. Ulster clear their lines.
49 Penalty to Northampton, Nick Williams the offender and Saints kick for the corner. Wide ball to Foden who is wrapped up, before Saints attack down the right. A kick through from Myler is hunted by Tom May but the centre is unable to control the ball which bounces into touch near the try line.
47 Northampton's driving maul creaks towards the try line, but loose ball at the base is snapped up bu Ulster with Pienaar clearing deep. Foden glides through defenders to put Northampton on the attack once more - Pisi grubbers through and it works out as Manoa charges for the line, however Ulster win the penalty.
45 Crash ball from George Pisi gives Saints momentum, before Myler chips towards the corner and Bowe is forced to kick to touch deep in his own 22.
43 Manoa steals the ball on the restart and Jamie Elliott comes close down the left wing, but loses the ball forward. Ulster's clearance kick is far from perfect and Northampton have the lineout in Ulster's half.
42 PENALTY, ULSTER, JACKSON! 9-10. Ulster instantly on the attack through Payne, before switching the play down the left through Bowe. Courtney Lawes commits an offence and Jackson lines up a shot at goal. Over it goes.
40 Paddy Jacksons starts off the second half, Ulster trailing by four points.
Half-time Ulster 6-10 Northampton
40 Foden collects a high kick and Northampton win a scrum with time ticking away. Once again the pass goes loose and that's half-time. Northampton should be delighted with their opening 20 minutes but Ulster are edging their way back in.
36 PENALTY, ULSTER, JACKSON! 6-10. A grubber kick from Payne causes confusion in the Northampton defence, with George Pisi penalised for holding on. Jackson steps up and makes no mistake.
33 Penalty to Ulster from the scrum, Paul Doran-Jones penalised. Jackson though is unable to convert, so a dropout to Northampton.
32 Williams is everywhere, the big man making another important break into Northampton territory. Ball comes wide left but Payne can't hold the pass, scrum to Northampton.
30 PENALTY, ULSTER, JACKSON! 3-10. Ulster coming from deep, Clark penalised for going off his feet. Lineout on the Northampton 22 and the Ulster maul wins a penalty. Chance for Paddy Jackson, who converts.
26 Ulster lineout on half-way, but Best takes too long and Northampton have the free kick. High ball from Myler is gathered by Jared Payne. Nick Williams intercepts a stray Northampton pass and Ulster reach the Saints 22, but the visitors turn the ball over.
24 Ulster scrum and Wallace makes metres, crossing the 22. But another knock on stops Ulster short, Northampton's physicality too much for the hosts right now.
21 Ulster on the attack through Nick Williams, Darren Cave offloading to Best in the tackle. Into the Saints 22, Paddy Wallace looks up and spills the pass, scrum to Northampton.
18 TRY, NORTHAMPTON, VAN VELZE! 0-10. High kick works for Northampton as they regain possession outside the Ulster 22. Tonga'uiha to Ken Pisi who feeds Van Velze, who scores! The visitors stretching the lead.
16 Wide pass from Myler releases Haywood for charges up the left-hand side, Northampton metres from the try line. After plenty of phases however, Ulster win the penalty to clear their lines.
14 Northampton with the early edge at the scrum, Soane Tonga'uiha getting on top of John Afoa and winning a penalty.
11 Scrum on the right for Ulster and Bowe blasts through on the switch. Knocked on by Trimble near the try line, scrum to Northampton.
10 Northampton turn the ball over after Ulster knock-on, scrum to the Saints by the far touchline. Frenetic start from both sides.
7 Dickson clears from the re-start up to the Northampton 10 metre line. Ulster go backwards from the lineout, Paddy Jackson's high kick taken by Ben Foden. Turnover by Chris Henry, nearly an interception by Manoa but Ulster go wide through Darren Cave.
6 PENALTY, NORTHAMPTON, MYLER! 0-3. Overthrow from Rory Best and Phil Dowson pounces, Northampton metres out. Paddy Wallace penalised for offside and Myler will go for the points. The visitors take the lead, Ulster yet to get to their hands on the ball.
3 Couple of mauls from Ulster early on, but the second is turned over by Northampton in great field position. Quick hands but the ball goes into touch after some speculative passing.
1 Northampton on the attack early on, making ground but a loose pass sends them away from the 22. Myler's chip goes out deep in the Ulster 22, lots of energy from the visitors.
Kick-off Stephen Myler gets us underway at Ravenhill. Game on!
Weather Clear skies on a cold night in Belfast - crisp conditions that should not hinder any skill levels.
Team News Northampton make six changes after their heavy loss to Ulster last Friday, with Tom May, Lee Dickson, Stephen Myler, Mikey Haywood, Calum Clark and captain Phil Dowson all starting.
Team News Ulster replace injured captain Johann Muller with Iain Henderson moving into the engine room, Nick Williams coming into the back row.
Welcome Hello and welcome to Ravenhill for the Heineken Cup clash between unbeaten Ulster and 2011 finalists Northampton Saints.

This question already has an answer here:
I'm checking the Angular Bootstrap UI, especially the service
$modal and noticed an interesting thing.
In their sample here 'http://plnkr.co/edit/E5xYKPQwYtsLJUa6FxWt?p=preview' in the controller that gets attached to the popup window they have enclosed the selected item into another inner property
$scope.selected = {
item: $scope.items[0]
instead of having just
$scope.selected = $scope.items[0];
and indeed their code works as expected while my version does not.
Why is this needed? What's the JavaScript gotcha here?

AES E-Library
New Ceramic Inertial Pickup for String Instruments with Mass-Controlled Frequency Response Adjustments
Practically all pickups for string instruments are made minute in size, so that they may be mounted on or in the string bridge structure. A ceramic inertial wide-range pickup is described to be mounted at any point of the instrument, so that its response may be maximized with the area of optimum acoustic response of the instrument body vibration itself. An external mass may be added by the user to the inertial pick-up assembly to boost its bass response without high-frequency deterioration. Demonstrations will be made.

Sound cool to me. Just remember to throw a link our way once it's running. Sounds like it could work, plus a little publicity might not hurt. Heck, you could even work something out with Dragon Ball maybe...
just a couple of random thoughts...
The Madman previously known as Daniel219
Wish I could get on here more often. *Sigh* The down side to night shift...
Sorry guys, I've been busy and really haven' had time ta get near a pc lately, let alone onta the internet; so I haven' had time ta get ta work on this story. Yet I do now so w/o further ado...
Our story continues...
Early the next morning, Kenneth awoke ta Miyuki shaking him.
"Come on, Kenneth, wake up! There's someone at the door saying that they want to speak to you!" She cried.
"Let me have just five more minutes, mommy, please. I promise that I'll be ready in enough time for school." Kenneth said as he rolled onto his side facing the back of the couch, pulling the covers further up and over his shoulders.
"Oh, get up you lazy bones." Said Jules as he entered the room from the small kitchen of their appartment carrying a bowl of water. He poured the water from the bowl onto Kenneth's face; sending him into, seemingly, convulsing fits as the water splashed him.
"Uncle!" Kenneth exclaimed, "That was cold!"
"We have guests," said Jules, "It's rude of you to make them wait while you sleep the day away."
"Funny how you seem to forget what happend yesterday, when it's convenient." Kenneth surlily stated.
"Oh come on," Miyuki said grabbing Kenneth by the arm and pulling him to his feet, "Let's go see who's here."
Jules stopped her and pointing his finger at Kenneth's boxers, he said, "I don't think that they would appreciate him greeting them wearing those."
Miyuki blushed and said, "Oh! Sorry, I guess I got too excited."
A pair of pants later...
Kenneth came out of the bedroom a few minutes later and was greeted by Miyuki, who said, "Your uncle is with them in the dining room. He told me to tell you to come in there when your done."
"Thanks." Responded Kenneth. He, with Miyuki trailing behind, then enter through the kitchen and into the little dining room. There were two people seated with Jules at the table, one Kenneth recognized as Franz; the other was a sultry looking woman dressed in a federation uniform.
"She's beautiful." Whispered Miyuki as they entered the room.
"Don't be fooled by appearences," Kenneth said to her.
The pair stood up when they had spotted Kenneth and Miyuki, Jules then stood up and offered Miyuki a chair; which she gladly took.
"Please, don't stand up on my account." Kenneth sarcasticly remarked.
"Kenneth! There's no need to be rude to our guests," remarked Jules.
"It's alright Mr. Timbers," Said the Federation woman, "I understand that your nephew had a very... negative relationship with the Federation and that it may have been the fault of the Federation. So his animosity is understandable, but I must tell you Mr. Kenneth... Not all Federation officers are the same and I hope to prove that over time."
"Over time..?" Kenneth inquired.
"This is Natalia Rominoff, captain of the F.S.S Val-Father." Said Franz.
"I have reviewed your papers from when you had been apart of the Federation. You had the highest marks from your commanding officers and you had rose through the ranks very quickly," Natalia remarked as she lifted some papers up to read from, "They said that you were quickly decisive and adaptive. That you could quickly learn..."
"What do you want?" Kenneth asked flatly.
"The Federation would like you to rejoin and aid us in recovering the Berserk from the Martian Military." Natalia stated, "You will be reinstated with your full rank of commander and placed in charge of mobile fighter and suit deployment on board the Val-Father and in charge of overall command of tactics for them out in the field after they are deployed. You will also be placed in charged of the Vertigo, the Federation feels that considering that you're already familiar with the suit..."
"Thanks, but I'll pass." Kenneth interrupted, "The Berserk is your problem now. You deal with it."
"But we need your assistance!" Natalia exclaimed, "Who knows what the Martian Military could..."
Kenneth again interrupted and said, "I've had it up to my eyeballs with you feddie types and the crap that you guys fed us grunts. We were just used by you and then you tried to discard us like we were trash. I don't want to be apart of that anymore and I won't allow you guys to use an incident like this to force your way back into my life."
"I'm well aware of the incident that happend to you, commander Timbers." Said Natalia, grabbing Kenneth's attention as he turned to walk away, "I even managed to get my hands on some of the top-secret information on the incident. I don't know everything about the incident, but I had gotten enough information to peace together most of what happend. I've got plenty of pull in the federation and if you help us, I give you my word that I'll do everything in my power to make sure that what happened to you and your men will not go unpunished. Just something for you to think on, but don't take too long... We'll be leaving in a couple of days and the deal won't last. I'll see you later, Commander Timbers."
She and Franz turned to begin to leave when Franz stopped and turned to Kenneth and said, "I'm going to go onto the Val-Father to help with maintenance of the Vertigo. I don't know what happened, but I know Natalia, she is a straight dealing person and wouldn't lie or make false promises. This is why I requested that she be the one to be placed in charged of the Berserk and Vertigo projects. She's the captain of the ship that I was telling you was going to pick up those suits. If she says that she'll help you, she means it." He then turned and left.
"Damn it!" Kenneth exclaimed as he slammed his fist against the wall.
As the Shadowed Thunder sat at his desk, on board his ship the Thor, reading the latest reports coming in from his recent mission; a chime rang out, indicating someone outside his door.
"Enter!" Commander Shadow called out.
As the doors slid open, a young blond man strolled in; who then stood at attention and saluted, "Commander Shadow, I am..."
"I'm well aware of who you are... You're going to pilot the Berserk after we've finished our analysis on the machine. I read that you're an impeccable pilot and have the highest marks of anyone in the academy," Commander Shadow said. He then grinned and stated, "I have great plans for you. Great plans indeed."
To be continued...
Hope evry1 like that installment. I have my own laptop now and, hopefully, I'll get it connected ta the net soon. That'll help me alot in keepin' up wit the story and writin' it more on a regular basis.

VIDEO: Watch 'Snackman' Casually Break Up A Fight
Able to step over low couches with help from a friend? Faster than a football fan stretching for the remote? Ready to munch at a moment's notice?
It's Snackman.
This video has taken on a bit of a viral life of its own since being posted earlier this month. Folks seem impressed by the casual way its star — now known as Snackman — helps break up a fight between a man and a woman on a New York City subway train. (Note: there are a few fleeting expletives in the video.)
CNN says a security expert it spoke with was impressed by the way Snackman moseyed into action. Stepping between the combatants "changed the context ... changed the dynamic [and] he deescalated the incident," Steve Kardian told the cable news network.
We wonder:
(H/T to NPR.org's Laurel Dalrymple.)

It will contain a Trainer's Guide, a PowerPoint presentation and a DVD.
- Adoption Clubhouse: Positive Identity Formation for Transracially Adopted ChildrenRead >>Building on two of our previous studies – "Beyond Culture Camp" and "Finding Families for African American Children," Adoption Clubhouse focuses on promoting positive identity in children adopted across race and culture. This curriculum, created in collaboration with Lutheran Social Services of New England, is designed to support transracially/culturally adopted children and their families. It also contains a Resource Guide and an Activity Workbook.
- Safeguarding the Rights and WellBeing of Birthparents IIRead >>
This nascent study, on best practices in options counseling for pregnant women considering adoption for their children, is part of our ongoing research and advocacy on the issues and concerns that matter most to first/birth parents. The work is made possible by the Lynn Franklin Fund – a unique, dedicated source of financing for DAI projects that focus on the insights, experiences, needs and aspirations of this too-often-marginalized group.
- Diversity in Adoptive FamiliesRead >>
To inform best practices in providing services and support to families, DAI is examining pre and post adoption education and support, parental beliefs and attitudes – as well as children's characteristics and adjustment – in a variety of family types. This research will analyze straight and gay/lesbian families, in racial and transracial families, and families with various levels of openness and types of adoption.
