The ZGMF-X09A Justice Gundam is a mobile suit featured in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, piloted by Athrun Zala.
[show]Technology & Combat Characteristics
One of ZAFT's five ZGMF-X Gundam units produced in CE 71 using technology derived from the four captured Alliance's Gundam, the Justice Gundam has Phase Shift Armor and its armament consists of beam sabers, a beam rifle, a shield, beam boomerangs and head-mounted CIWS guns. In addition, the Justice carries a Fatum-00 unit on its back that can flip forward when used, or be deployed as a separate support unit/subflight unit. The Fatum-00 is well-armed with a pair of beam cannons and multiple machine guns, and when attached to the Justice, it improves the suit's mobility and grants it full flight capabilities in the atmosphere.
Justice also has a tall sensor spine on the top of its head, similar to that of the GAT-X303 Aegis, and this enhances its ability to collect information in the battlefield. It can dock with a support unit, the METEOR unit, for heavier firepower and greater speed, and has an advanced targeting system, the Multi Lock-On System, which allows it to fire at multiple enemy units simultaneously. The Justice Gundam is designed to be operated alongside the ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam and for this purpose, the warship Eternal is designed specifically to maintain both suits. Like the four other ZGMF-X Gundam units, Justice is equipped with Neutron Jammer Canceller and powered by a nuclear reactor, giving it virtually unlimited combat endurance.
- MA-M01 "Lacerta" Beam Sabers
- The main close combat weapons of the suit is two hip-mounted MA-M01 "Lacerta" beam sabers, which are of the same type as the ones used on its sister unit, the ZGMF-X10A Freedom. Athrun is usually seen combining both beam sabers into a double-bladed beam saber.
- MA-M20 "Lupus" Beam Rifle
- Like the Freedom, the Justice usually uses a MA-M20 "Lupus" beam rifle, which is one of two ranged beam weapons used by the suit. This beam rifle is stronger than the one used by the ZGMF-600 GuAIZ.
- MMI-GAU1 "Sagittus" 20mm CIWS
- The Justice features four head-mounted CIWS guns of type MMI-GAU1 "Sagittus" 20mm, which are used to shoot down incoming missiles or close enemy units. These guns, foreshadowing what would later become standard practice, are much smaller in caliber than those of contemporary mobile suits.
- RQM51 "Bassel" Beam Boomerangs
- Two RQM51 "Bassel" beam boomerangs are stored on the shoulders, they are throwing weapons that emit a short beam blade, and can return to the owner after throwing, often catching enemy units by surprise.
- Laminated Anti-beam Shield
- Unlike the shield used by most mobile suits, Justice's shield has a laminated armor surface instead of having an anti-beam coating. Same type of shield is also used by Freedom.
- MA-4B "Fortis" Beam Cannon
- A pair of rapid-fire "Fortis" beam cannons are mounted at the front of the Fatum-00 and serve as its main weapon. The pair of beam cannons are also the other ranged beam weapon used by Justice besides the beam rifle.
- M9M9 "Cervus" Turret Machine Gun
- Mounted on the Fatum-00, next to each wing. The "Cervus" turret machine guns can rotate to fire at enemy units at various angles. They are mainly used to shoot down incoming missiles or close enemy units, especially when the Fatum-00 is used as a separate support unit.
- GAU5 "Volucris" Machine Gun
- Four "Volucris" machine guns are mounted on the Fatum-00. They are mainly used to shoot down incoming missiles or close enemy units, especially when the Fatum-00 is used as a separate support unit.
- Like the Freedom, the Justice can dock with the powerful METEOR unit, a large mobile weapons platform with powerful thrusters and an even more powerful armament of battleship-caliber beam cannons, large beam swords, and dozens of heavy missile launchers.
Special Equipment & Features
- Fatum-00
- The most unique feature of the Justice is the Fatum-00 unit on its back. Besides improving the suit's mobility and serving as a flight pack in the atmosphere, the Fatum-00 is also detachable and can function independently due to its AI system or be remoted controlled. In this form, it can either serve as a separate support unit or as a subflight unit, like the Guul. The Fatum-00 mounts two MA-4B "Fortis" beam cannons, two M9M9 "Cervus" turret machine guns and four GAU5 "Volucris" machine guns. All of these weapons can be used regardless of whether the Fatum-00 is attached or detached from Justice.
- As with the other four ZGMF-X series of Gundam units produced then, the Justice is equipped with a Neutron Jammer Canceller, which counters the effects of the ubiquitous Neutron Jammers and allows these suits to be powered by nuclear reactors. This gives them almost limitless combat endurance, even with Phase Shift armor activated.
- Like the other four units, the Justice is equipped with Phase Shift armor. Thanks to its N-Jammer Canceller and nuclear reactor the PS armor is capable of being active for a lot longer than on non-nuclear powered suits such as the Aegis.
- Multi Lock-On System
- As its name suggest, this system allows Justice to lock on to multiple targets and carry out en masse firing. Athrun uses this system only when Justice is docked with the METEOR unit.
- Operating System
- The Justice uses the operating system Generation Unsubdued Nuclear Drive Assault Module complex.
In mid CE 71, ZAFT created a series of advanced mobile suits based on technology reverse-engineered from the captured Earth Alliance G Project suits. Like their EA predecessors, the ZAFT Gundams are armed with advanced beam weaponry and protected by Phase Shift armor. One of these suits is the Justice, which can be considered the sister unit of the Freedom. Most of the Justice' and Freedom's weapon systems were tested on the YFX-600R GuAIZ Experimental Firearms Type.
Late in CE 71, Athrun Zala, former pilot of the Aegis, is assigned the Justice with the mission to either recapture or destroy its stolen sister unit, the Freedom. Instead, however, Athrun joins forces with his old friend Kira Yamato, in defending neutral Orb from an Earth Alliance attack. Later he met up with the support vessel Eternal which carried both METEOR units. Athrun and Kira used the METEORs' firepower to thwart an Earth Alliance nuclear missile attack on the PLANTs on the final day of the war, and Athrun also destroys the GAT-X131 Calamity with his METEOR's beam sword. Afterward, Athrun flies the Justice inside the gamma ray laser GENESIS and self-destructs it, preventing his father's doomsday weapon from firing on the Earth.
Over two years later, a more close-combat-oriented advanced version of the Justice is built by Terminal based on a design created by ZAFT, called the ZGMF-X19A Infinite Justice, which is again piloted by Athrun.
Notes & Trivia
- Justice's head crest displays the text "X-09A NOVE", which means "Nine" in Italian and is a reference to its model number.
- Its lower torso is similar to the ZGMF-515 CGUE and AMF-101 DINN, making it visibly more like a ZAFT produced machine.
- The combined Lacerta beam sabers are reminiscent of the twin beam sword used by the MS-14A Gelgoog.
- The Justice is often confused with the ZGMF-X19A ∞ Justice Gundam, largely because Athrun Zala refers to the latter as simply "Justice".
- Justice is considered as a Mobile Armor Mode when it mounts the Fatum-00 in Gundam Battle Assault 3: Featuring Gundam SEED.
- When the Justice destroys the GAT-X370 Raider Gundam's hammer, it was accidentally colored with yellow eyes rather than green upon its close up. The error was fixed in the HD Remaster however.
- It was said that if something happened to Athrun during the first war, Dearka would have been his choice to pilot the Justice.

Mona Charen's book Useful Idiots is a profound analysis of the American left with regard to their regular denunciation of America and acceptance of almost anything except western civilization. It primarily focuses on Communism and the communist revolutions around the world. American leftists repeatedly embraced those movements as pure, despite widespread, even genocidal murder, and the general travesty of totalitarianism and economic suppression. With the documentation in this book, it is clear, the American left believes in elevating ideas to be supreme, even if that means people go by the wayside or are trampled under foot. Many other books provide evidence, but few are as line-by-line packed with evidence, from the mouths and pens of leftists, themselves.

The East Carolina volleyball team will hit the road and travel to Orlando, Fla., for a Friday evening conference match against UCF at 7 p.m., on October 26.
The Pirates and the Knights will face off for the 17th time in program history and the all-time series is tied at eight matches apiece. Earlier this season, UCF swept ECU at Minges Coliseum on Sept. 30.
In that match, junior setter Kasey Kavanaugh registered 18 assists totaling 1,182 for her career to break into the East Carolina Top 10 career assists record book. Last season the Knights swept the Pirates in a pair of matches. ECU is looking for its first win over UCF since 2009 when the Pirates held off the Knights, 3-1, in Greenville.
Junior Nicole Willis is the Pirates' offensive leader this season. She has amassed 226 kills to average 3.59 kills per set which ranks her eighth in the conference. In addition, Willis has also tallied 179 digs (2.84 digs per set) which is good for third on the squad. She has accumulated 32 total blocks, 13 aces, and 11 assists on the year.
Shelby Beasley has set the pace for the ECU defense all season and has posted a team-best 323 digs to average 4.25 digs per set which is good for sixth in Conference USA. Sophomore Zarah Cecich has emerged as the team's setter late in the season and has totaled 471 assists and has a 7.14 assists per set average.
Cecich has added 58 digs, 29 kills, 16 total blocks, and 10 service aces on the year.
Senior Kelly Derby leads the Pirates in blocks with 76 and her 1.00 blocks per set average is tied for eighth in the league. Derby has been a steady force for East Carolina all year as she has recorded 141 kills, 42 digs, eight service aces and seven assists on the season.
East Carolina is 1-20 on the year and 0-10 in Conference USA action. The Pirates are looking to get on the winning track after dropping a pair of contests to Memphis (1-3) and UAB (0-3) last weekend.

Special Correspondent
VISAKHAPATNAM: A hospital, which was opened recently, is well equipped to conduct cosmetic and sports-related surgeries.
Special equipment and gadgets would be used while treating sports-related injuries and fractures, arthroscopy (key-hole surgery), and anthroplasty (joint replacement surgery) done for shoulder, elbow, knee and hip, said orthopaedic surgeon A. Harikrishna and cosmetic and general surgeon B. Geetha of Vizag Orthopaedics and Special Surgery, at a press conference here on Saturday. Both the doctors have been trained in special surgeries in the United Kingdom and the United States.
For the first time, breast reduction and enlargement surgeries were being conducted with the new methods in the State at the hospital, Dr. Geeta said.
The hospital has special equipment for liposuction (removal of fat). Cosmetic surgery on face, ear, nose, chin and cheeks would be done while other problems like darkening of skin, models, burn scars and dimples would be treated.
Every Sunday, the hospital is running a free clinic at Gurudwara - on the National Highway between 11 a.m. and noon.

Hi Dan,
I know 3 boats lost thru wind vanes and only 2 were solo.
Yes, its a wind shift problem... and one of the examples hass appeared in the next post to yours!
I dont have a back-up my Raymarine (ex charter boat so its done lots of miles) has had 35,000nms trouble free except for a small spot just north of Bahamas where it started playing up and I had to hand steer for a bit. Funnily enough the error occured again at the same latitude in the ICW 6 months later!
My back up would be to hand steer and hove to when tired. On a long passage it wouldnt be fun... but it would be a bit character building.

Well, you mis-read it or she is lying.
In 2008 her boat was lost on a mexican beach (after I met her both sides of Panama) when her overslept her alarm and while she was asleep the wind changed and her wind vane put her boat on the boach as a total loss. The boat wasnt as good as the Najad so it was fortuitous for her to get an insurance payout plus whatever to have the new Najad built.

[Young Jeezy:]
It goes 1 for the ghetto, 2 niggas run it
Call me snowman, 100 miles and gunning
Here come the birdman!
Here come the pain! I've got a name
Ever since an adolescent I've been deep in the game
All I need is more weed, a little something for the pain
So good like a hook from T Pain
They say you're nobody til somebody kills you
I say "go be somebody, even if it kills you... "

Frank Herbert's Dune ended with Paul Muad'Dib in control of the planet Dune. Herbert's next Dune book, Dune Messiah, picked up the story several years later, after Paul's armies had conquered the galaxy. But what happened between Dune and Dune Messiah? How did Paul create his empire and become the Messiah? Following in the footsteps of Frank Herbert, New York Times best-selling authors Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson are answering these questions in Paul of Dune.
The Muad'Dib's jihad is in full swing. His warrior legions march from victory to victory. But beneath the joy of victory there are dangerous undercurrents. Paul, like nearly every great conqueror, has enemies - those who would betray him to steal the awesome power he commands.
And Paul himself begins to have doubts: Is the jihad getting out of his control? Has he created anarchy? Has he been betrayed by those he loves and trusts the most? And most of all, he wonders, "Am I going mad?"
Paul of Dune is a novel everyone will want to read and no one will be able to forget.
Don't miss other titles in the Dune series.
©2008 Herbert Properties LLC; (P)2008 Macmillan Audio
"Good back stories but not much more"
A significant portion of this book where back stories of young Paul usually consisting of events that occurred prior to Dune. As others have said there is very little that adds to the story that skipping this book will make you miss. This book was written as an insert between Dune and Dune Messiah and it is clear in that respect. I think of this book as Dune 1.5 if Dune Messiah is Dune 2.
I see this book as a summer extension of a TV series. Missing this book will not cause those who follow the real seasons (Dune) and (Dune Messiah) will miss.
gee & unlay
"Paul of Dune"
This book is excellent in that it tells of the events in detail to set you up for Dune Messiah and the rise and fall of Paul M'uab dib. All the problems and challenges he face as the new emperor of the known universe. I have to say I really didn't like Paul in this book but it was so exciting to listen to!!!
"Great Listen but..."
This will get slammed by some because it's not Frank Herbert, well guess what? Frank is long gone and there was only one of him.
Brian and Kevin are their own writers and they carry on the Dune experience in their own very exciting fashion, I really like it because while reflecting Franks original concept they really add some great ideas into the original story line. So from some of the purest I think there will be alot of gripes but for the rest of us we shall just enjoy a great book that carries on the amazing world of DUNE!
"JUST OK, reluctant 4 stars...."
Decently written but unremarkable Dune rehash, meant to pick up where Dune left off, that never manages to engage. No further insights into the vividly drawn characters from Dune, in fact they all seem rather sterile. Paul & company are disenchanted with the direction things have taken, and you will be too. If you're a Dune junkie, you may want to read this. Otherwise, probably wise to skip.
"It took me two tries ..."
It took me two tries to start listening to this book - I just couldn't stand the religious zealots...then it got good - I really liked the intricate story around the Fenrings and bitterness of Shaddam. I have been a fan of the Dune universe for a very long time and I really enjoy the expanded universe that has been woven with the prequels and now this interstitial tale - and it looks like more to come. I think this story was needed - and it helped to make sense of the jump from the noble son of a duke to a messiah for which a jihad is fought.
Had some problems at first with the 2nd and 3rd parts as my bookmarks on the Zune (kept showing me Chapter 1) and my machine was not holding my bookmark when I shut the book off and had to fast forward to my position everytime I restarted.
"Why oh why did Frank Herbert die"
I foolishly keep hoping that these guys will improve and pay proper homage to Frank's masterpiece. But again I am sorely dissapointed. I don't understand how you can take characters that we have come to love and them them so unloveable. If you love Frank Herbert, don't bother with this.
The story is very good, a worthy sequel to Dune, but the melodramatic performance is over the top, as though the end of every sentence brings him to the peak of excitement. I quit listening because the reader was ruining the book. Much better to read this one the old fashioned way.
"Good Filler"
Yes, this book is just filler and yes you could go from Dune straight to Dune Messiah but you will be missing a very good story. There are no nail-biting revelations, Paul of Dune just allows you to have more time with the characters that you have come to love and hate.
"Has it all"
A wonderful continuation of the Dune series. I've read the books but now with audible, it's a whole new experience.
"Kevin J Anderson Does It Again!!!"
This is a great story that ranks 10 on a scale of 1-10 right next to the Last Days of Krypton, also by Kevin J. Anderson. My introduction to Dune was the 1984 movie which always baffled me. Then the revamped mini series a few years ago along with Children of Dune. I would say read Paul of Dune first and then go back to House Atriedes, House Harkonen and finally House Corrino.
The repercussions of Paul's triumph over Emperor Corrino. The Fremen are an uncontrollable monster in the making. They rampage through the empire solidifying Paul's rule as new emperor. Also his travels back to Calidan and his attempts t re-establish his relationship as Duke. Memories of Gurneys life and his new role as Paul's right hand as he attempts to control the Fremen zealots during water training is very insightful. Also Count Fenring skulking about in the peripheral is also intriguing.
Scott Brick masterfully weaves the story together, his voice captures the essence of each page of dialogue and overall storytelling.
"Loved it"
Written by Herberts son, this is totally in step with the writings of his father. It captures the mindset of Paul perfectly. Unlike the later Dune books by Herbert senior, this one captures you and holds on tight. Political machinations, emotional turmoil and folding space. What more could a Dune fan want. Ten out of ten.

Peugeot 207 EPURE fuel cell concept car tipped as future model
By Mike Hanlon
September 8, 2006
September 9, 2006 Peugeot is clearly talking up its latest Paris Motor Show concept car as a glimpse of a future 207 model and the prospect is very exciting – the 207 EPURE concept car uses an electric motor combined with PSA Peugeot Citroen Group's new 20 kW GENEPAC experimental fuel cell which has been designed in partnership with the French AEC (Atomic Energy Commission). The electricity produced by the fuel cell is used to provide extra power and operating range to the lithium-ion battery and hence the 50kW electric motor. The combination fuel cell - electric powertrain gives the 207 EPURE a range of around 218 miles while still providing a maximum speed of 81 mph. The pearl white exterior of the 207 EPURE highlights the purity of the concept car's lines while strengthening the ecological credentials of the technology that powers it.
The fascia panel is covered entirely with white leather, as is most of the passenger compartment: the detailing, the trim on all four seats, and even the steering column controls under the steering wheel. Touches of "absinthe green", as used for the interior floor carpet, are subtly interspersed throughout the passenger compartment, particularly in the form of discreet highlighting on the fascia panel, the door panels, the rear of the front seats and the head restraints.
The instrument panel provides all necessary information for monitoring the battery charge level and the quantity of stored hydrogen onboard, while the colour multi function display mounted in the centre console displays the flow of power between the electric motor, the battery and the fuel cell.
From the purity of its colour with the only emissions being water, the "207 EPURE" not only protects the environment but will also ensure the pleasure of Peugeot "open top" motoring remains for many years to come.

Weight loss surgery in Long Island is comprised a series of procedures used to treat patients who suffer from obesity and who have not been able to lose weight from diet and/or exercise. The most common types of bariatric surgery are gastric banding surgery, such as Lap Band and Realize band, and gastric bypass. Other less common procedures include gastric sleeve and duodenal switch surgery. The goal of these surgical procedures is to reduce hunger and cause massive weight loss. For many Long Island Laparoscopic Surgery patients, these procedures can be performed laparoscopically, which requires a smaller incision. This leads to less scarring and a more rapid recovery time as compared to the standard bariatric surgical procedure. It is best to consult with a Long Island bariatric surgeon in Suffolk County or Nassau County to learn more about the risks and benefits of lap band or gastric bypass surgery. The Long Island weight loss surgeon can also answer any questions about cost and recovery time. Many surgeons in Nassau County and Suffolk County also offer support services, such as nutritional counseling, in order to make the healing process easier and the weight loss permanent.
For the art-loving weight loss surgery patient, there are a multitude of museums in Long Island, Suffolk County and Nassau County featuring both nationally recognized artists and local up-and-comers. Long Island was the home of abstract expressionist Jackson Pollock. Lap band patients in the area can visit Pollock's home and studio that he shared with his wife and fellow artist, Lee Krasner. The Pollock-Krasner House is a wealth of artistic history as the home and studio remain exactly as Pollock left them, including the paint on the floor of the studio from Pollock's canvases. A barn on the premises offers a photo documentary of Pollack's life and evolution as an artist. The Parrish Art Museum in Suffolk County is dedicated to the study of American art with a focus on the works of Long Island's East End. Visitors can see paintings by the renowned American impressionist William Merritt Chase in addition to other contributors to this dynamic art scene such as John Chamberlain and Elizabeth Peyton. For those with an interest in art, bariatric surgery in Long Island is a great way to discover new artists and learn more about old favorites.

1. Good Impression
Pi ditched an important business meeting to take a leisurely bath. Her cousin and business partner Joelle comes home early to deal with the irresponsible brat. Pi swears that she will take her job more seriously from now on, but is she just telling Joelle what she wants to hear to end her painful spanking?
2. Office Dress Code
Pi has pushed the boundary of what's considered appropriate office casual attire. Joelle uses a leather strap to send the message that proper appearance is essential to good business.
3. Unprepared
Pi shows up to an important meeting with a potential advertiser completely unprepared. Joelle is insensed at her cousin's continued irresponsibility. Joelle bends Pi over a stepstool for a hard hairbrush spanking.
4. Artistic Differences
Pi expressed her artistic opinion far too strongly to a potential client. She claims she was offering only constructive criticism but she crossed the line to being offensive and now Joelle is left to sort out the mess. Joelle gives Pi an over the knee spanking for the trouble she's caused.
5. Role Reversal
Joelle mishandled company money and it's Pi that steps in to correct the situation. Of course Pi isn't about to let Joelle go unpunished after she's been on the receiving end so many times. Pi takes a small leather paddle to her cousin's bottom to make sure she's learned her lesson.
6. Financial Error
David has heard about the misappropriation of company funds and is not pleased with how the girls handled the situation. Even though Pi assures David that she took care of everything, he punishes Joelle himself as Pi looks on.
7. A Little Talk
David now wants to have a little talk with Pi. Of course a talk with Uncle David usually takes place over his knee and that's just where Pi finds herself.

Cassiar and ALCAN to Whitehorse
Trip Start
Jun 11, 2008
Trip End
Jul 05, 2008
Our first stop of the day for Saturday was a moose-shoot. He was having breakfast. (We thought about you, Laurel!) We stopped at Jade City, population 12. We were here four years ago where Mickey bought jade earrings. That store is no longer open. Apparently, there are a lot of rumors going around about the former owners, but no one really knows why it closed. So we went across the street to Cassiar Mountain Jade Store, where Mickey dropped a small wad. Gary met Emmet, a 60+ year old Bosnian Muslim. He's been in Canada about four years and he talked about the incongruity of so much of the world hating America but they all want to move here. I think he called them a bunch of idiots, but with a heavy Slovic accent it may have been more duragatory yet. This illustrates the slow pace of life and news up here: Emmet wanted to know why those Democrats couldn't settle the Michigan and Florida primary issues and get on with picking that woman or the black guy. Gary explained to him that that was a done deal as of about a week ago. Emmet said if they chose the black guy, wouldn't that be something. What he said was, "There's no place in the world except in America where something like that would happen." It gave me kind of a warm patriotic feeling and we ended the conversation with me telling him, McCain's a good guy too, Emmet. On the way out of the store, we met Peter and Vera Fischer from Halifax, Nova Scotia. They've been on the road for 25 days and Mickey noticed that Peter was wearing an S.S. Badger hat, acquired when they took the ferry across. In the course of the conversation, Vera referred to how long they've been gone and how long they've got to go at least three times. She even came right out and said, "I'm ready to go home." He thought we were pretty brave by planning on taking the Top of the World Highway. Peter was obviously excited to be going even further north on the Dempster Highway. Look at your map; we're talking serious Arctic Circle-plus driving. Vera kindda shook her head and again said she wanted to go home. We did notice that in the cab of their truck camper they had a little "foofoo" dog; hope that keeps Vera company and happy.
We got gas at the Junction and turned left on the Alaskan Highway. We stopped for lunch at Rancheria Falls Recreation Site and did a pleasant walk to the falls. They were very similar to Tequanaman in that the water had the same burned brown color, probably from the tannins. We met the Finners from Wildwood, Alberta, who were on a journey north, not sure where they were going. They winter in the States and we think were on their way back home, the long way. Shortly after we pulled out, we saw Peter and Vera at a rest stop, blew our horn and waived.
A little about our XM Satellite radio. The normal daily drill is to start out with CNN or Fox and get the news. After being sufficiently depressed, we switch to, if Gary's driving, 34-Gospel, or if Mickey's driving, 14-Bluegrass Junction. Occasionally we'll do the laugh channel. For 100k we laughed with Bill Crosby, Bob Newhart, Ray Ramano, Jeff Allen, Henny Youngman, Jonathan Winters, and many others. They were doing a "father's stuff" in light of Father's Day coming up. Jeff Allen told two stories that we'd (Gary) like to share that were about teenagers. The first one was he said he has a teenage son who knows everything, questions his authority and doesn't want to acknowledge his existence. He then said that teenagers were God's revenge for rejecting His authority and denying His existence. He said he the Bible didn't say how old Satan was when he rebelled against God, but I'm pretty sure he was 15. O.K., here's your astronomy and geography lesson: XM Radio receives its signal from a west coast satellite off California. The further north we go, the flatter the angle; and when we're on the lee side of a mounting, no signal. Gary's hoping we find a flat spot in Dawson City on Sunday to hear Boston beat Kobe.
We are now camped in Whitehorse, where there is no cell phone signal. So we are out of touch with reality! However, we have a weak WIFI here at the campground, thus the new blog. We had dinner at the Yukon Mining Co., which was Gary's Father's Day dinner. The skeeters are persistent here as well! For you pilots the DC-3 is the wind tee at Whitehorse Airport.

One of the High Sheriff Youth Awards team will contact your project and fix a time to visit. You'll be asked questions to help with the judging - and there will be a chance for you to ask us for advice and assistance, if that helps.
A report is then written about your project. The next step is for your application - and the recommendations in our report - to be considered by an independent group from the High Sheriff Youth Awards scheme. You won't have to wait long for a decision.
Each project is judged individually, and earns points for how well it meets the aims of our scheme [click here to check that list again]. Then we write to let you know whether your project will receive funding - and, if so, how much. We also arrange how you will get the money.
If your bid is successful, you receive more than financial support. To show we value the vital work you are doing to make Surrey safer, the High Sheriff will visit the project and present your group with a Certificate of Recognition. There are times when a project or a piece of good work is so exceptional that the High Sheriff will present a Certificate, even if no grant is requested.
You may also be invited to attend our Celebration of Achievements, held at ExxonMobil House in Leatherhead once a year, when we spotlight HSYA award winners.
We follow up every project that receives an award. After one year – or at the end of a short-term project – a HSYA assessor will contact those running the project, and assist with the completion of the evaluation form. This way we can calculate how the award money has been used, how it has helped the project - and if there are any ways we can improve our scheme.

READING, Pa. — Everyone knows soda can be bad for your teeth. Sometimes, it can apparently threaten the morning commute, too.
Police say two tractor-trailers collided on U.S. Route 422 outside Reading, Pa., around 12:40 a.m. Tuesday. The Reading Eagle reports (http://bit.ly/10mYCVv ) one of the trucks was carrying 2-liter bottles of soda.
Hundreds of gallons of sugary drink spilled onto the highway and froze in the frigid early morning temperatures.
Those slick conditions from the crash ended up shutting down the roadway in Exeter Township for more than five hours.
Traffic was detoured until the road reopened shortly after 6 a.m.The other tractor-trailer was hauling candy and driven by Timothy Moyer, 63, of Grosse Pointe, Mich. It was also damaged but did not need to be towed.

In re Vitro, S.A.B de C.V v. ACP Master, Ltd., et al., Case No. 11-33335-HDH-15 (N.D. Tex. 2011), is a decision by a bankruptcy court but contains discussion of the issue often arising in contentious international litigation: attempts to enjoin proceedings in other countries in favor of proceedings in the U.S., or attempts to enjoin proceedings in the U.S. in favor or litigation or proceedings in other countries. For a general discussion of the role of U.S. courts and law in the sequencing of international disputes, see our discussion in our e-book, International Practice: Topics and Trends.
In Vitro, the 2008 global financial crisis left Vitro with insufficient funds to pay roughly $300 million in senior notes and led to derivatives-related litigation in New York. Vitro tried to restructure its debt, which led to failed negotiations with its creditors, an attempt by Vitro to structure a pre-packaged bankruptcy in Mexico, the filing of involuntary bankruptcy proceedings in the U.S., and a formal bankruptcy proceeding (upheld after an appeal) in Mexico.
Chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code was enacted to mediate claims and proceedings between international bankruptcy proceedings. The debtor tried to declare the Mexico proceeding a "foreign main proceeding", an issue the Court had not yet decided. At this in this decision was the two-fold question:
(1) does the Court have the authority under Chapter 15 of the Bankruptcy Code to issue a preliminary injunction to protect Vitro SAB and its non-debtor guarantor subsidiaries; and (2) has Vitro SAB and its non-debtor subsidiaries met the requirements for a preliminary injunction to issue.
On the first question, the Court observed that Chapter 15 was enacted "so as to provide effective mechanisms for dealing with cases of cross-border insolvency". The Court determined that it had authority to grant an injunction during the "gap" period: i.e., "the period between the filing of a chapter 15 petition and a court's determination of whether to grant recognition to the relevant foreign proceeding".
The discussion of the second question, however, is the more interesting. The first question was whether even the clear statutory protections of a stay "can be extended to Vitro SAB's non-debtor subsidiaries". Here the Court said yes. But then, in determining whether the four-part test for obtaining a preliminary injunction was satisfied ((1) that he is likely to succeed on the merits, (2) that he is likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief, (3) that the balance of equities tips in his favor, and (4) that an injunction is in the public interest), the Court held that the likelihood of success was not to be applied to whether the restructuring was going to be successful in Mexico (if it is successful the debtor argued that that would extinguish the claims in the U.S. that the debtor wanted to stay) but rather should be applied to the merits of the underlying litigation — i.e., "to the non-bankruptcy action itself". On the record before it the Court could not make that determination. The Court also found that the other requisites for an injunction were not met to subsidiaries and assets other than of the debtor itself.
The decision is on appeal, and argument was heard in the Fifth Circuit in May 2012.

This is Mr. Holland's dopest shit! I mean, that big brass marching shit was definitely off the hook, and it certainly motivated his class of Opie students, but damn! When M-Ho said he was going back to his street roots, I figured he meant like Klezmer or some shit, but he really took it to the next level with this one. Big pounding beats behind grim, droning keyboards, denatured air-raid whistles, and totalitarian sound bites - it's like Terminator X got dirty with the Rza. Those suits in the principal's office may not be down, but Mr. H is just telling it like its, mapping a whole new subconscious of urban decay and industrial-zoned hopelessness. And you can tell the school board I said so. - Rockpile |

Anvil Pruner
An anvil pruner can snip away dead twigs and branches up to ½ inch. The wide anvil prevents close cuts, but the jaws won't jam up with wood shards the way a bypass pruner can.
Shown: Tools with anvils that can't be replaced, like this one, are generally less expensive and can be discarded when the anvil has become dented from overuse. Higher-priced models typically have replaceable anvils. About $12; acehardware.com -

I think my interest in space and other cultures came from early cartoons i watched... it was always the space or weird mutant/alien type cartoons that got me, also lost civilizations and or explorer type cartoons.
I think also, i just love animation..... as a teen, i got into anime/manga filmsand just loved the style.... and it seems a lot of my childhood favs were manga/anime style.

From all the responses I see here...there is no difference.
Only the fact that there are those who think a BTS topic is beneath their level as opposed to an ATS topic.
It matters not when the last post was made in a thread. Old topics which are similar get bumped all the time.
If you took there graphics and MCOG's story then i'd put money on it being a hit.
The story is noted dated even now. That programme left me wanting to find out more about the ancients and i have been doing just that. ATS has assisted me in that to which i am grategul to the staff and members. Like the Discovery channel says - keep asking!

As a child (so i can excuse my humilation,ha,ha) would pretend to be wiley-kit, whilst my siter was wiley-kat, on our hoverboards. Your step father has left me with with many fond and cherished memories from my youth, he illumated a generation of childrens hearts everytime that theme tune came on.
Thundercats had an egyptian theme too it, if possible i would like to know what the inspiration was for the series and if it were created around facts/myth.
