From the PublisherThe book is both a useful guide to read from start to finish as well as a handy reference manual. The Mentoring Manual gives valuable insight into the requirements for a successful mentoring scheme and the qualities of an effective mentor ... An excellent catalyst for the mentoring process in your business - the only additional requirement is your commitment.' Simon Shaw, Training Manager, Nestle UK Ltd on TrainingZONE website, March 2000
'... to me the title could more realistically read Everything You Wanted/Needed to Know about Mentoring - and then some! It is written in a very friendly, very readable, interesting, valuable and practical way. There have been a number of books about mentoring published in recent years - for me this is the one I would choose ... I feel that in whichever role or stage you may be involved or are going to be involved in any form of mentoring, this is the book for you.' Leslie Rae, Training Journal, February 2000
'This manual is interesting, useful and enlightening. It is written in a very open style, allowing you to reflect easily on the authors' analyses and views. Echoing their belief that mentoring is essentially about enabling people to develop their own solutions, Whittaker and Cartwright successfully prompt the reader to consider and develop different approaches to mentoring.' Training, May 2000
'In all, this is a useful, gritty, honest book, which does not duck the difficulties and failures, in offering practical frameworks and advice that is based on often hard-won experience.' David Megginson, Sheffield Business School
'The strength of this book is as a handbook to use as a reference for reviewing mentoring policy, procedures and practice. It is a handbook I will have on my shelf and is a useful addition to a staff developer's library of resources.' Journal of the National Association for Staff Development, June 2000
'If you like your management books to be practical as well as informative you will find much to engage you in this volume ... It will help you understand what mentoring is about and what needs to happen to make schemes succeed. More than that it has plenty of material which you can copy legally - exercises, checklists, models and OHPs ... This is good solid stuff and doesn't make mentoring sound easy, which it isn't, but does make it sound achievable.' People Performance, November 2000
'this text would be helpful to managers trying to establish mentoring schemes' Leadership and Organisational Development Journal, Issue 22 (2001)
'Clear, well-laid out, lots of bullet points.' The Teacher Trainer, November 2001
'This is a very useful book for where mentoring schemes are not yet in place, or where existing ones are faltering. Based on only a few models of learning (noteworthily Kolb and Johari), the Mentoring Manual provides lots of motivation, lots of case studies (diverse ones too, including in education), lots of tips, tricks and mentor development activities, and lots of copiable resources ... it's very good value for money.' British Journal of Educational Technology, November 2001

Tea Party
I love this board it makes me feel happy! I advocate Vegan Foods. My Tea Party Pins may not include Vegan Recipes and are for table settings & Ideas for Tea Parties, however,I am sure many of the recipes are easy to convert to vegan. Replace egg with egg re-placer and dairy with Non-Dairy soy, rice, hemp, almond milk & vegan butter. If a recipe calls for cream cheese or sour cream use a vegan non dairy choice. Use non dairy Chocolates and whole grain breads for desserts and tea sandwiches.

Lancome L'Extreme Mascara Reviews
Want long lashes?Lancome L'Extreme is the ONE. Great stuff up until it dries out, which is too son, I'm afraid. — 6 years, 10 months agoFrappelattes | 28 reviews
Like ItMy dughter was getting her makeup done for Prom. The girl put one coat of this mascara on my daughter and wow...he eyelashes really popped! The other girls were coming over to comment, the girl who put it on was telling them that is only one coat..one of the other girls said "I don't think I've ever seen eyelashes that long"! Well, it was enough to get me to buy a tube...my eyelashes ar...read moree stumpy....it makes a great difference - the first time I wore and my daughter saw it she was like...where are you going all prettied up, I said I only put mascara on...she said it makes a big difference...highly recommended1 — 6 years, 11 months agorobin99 | 5 reviews
Best Mascara on the marketThis mascara is the best! The only kind I use! — 6 years, 11 months agoSarahmcjones | 1 reviews
pretty good.I had a problem with the fibers after a while, they dried and got itchy. — 6 years, 11 months agokniehaus | 1 reviews
my fav but is a bit priceyif you have the money to spend then its def. worth it. i always reccommend this product, but am always sure to remind that it is also expensive. but worth it. i havent found any yet as good as this. — 6 years, 12 months agoMISSESMERCY | 25 reviews
Best ever!I absolutely love this mascara and I've tried a lot! It works great on length, volume, and even curls a bit. It's my favorite Lancome mascara by far, and definitely the best brand out there. My only complaint is that it doesn't seem to last very long before drying out. — 7 years agoLaurenCDR | 5 reviews
My Second ChoiceI used to use a different brand, but it is no longer available in the US, so I bought a trial size to see if I liked it. It's not bad. It does thicken and lengthen, but you have to be careful. If you don't comb your lashes between coats, if you use more than one, it can be clumpy and gloopy, making your eyes look like a clowns. But if you comb, then you get a great look. Maybe if the used a plastic brush to apply they wouldn't have this problem. — 7 years agooktoberlady | 5 reviews

Love it!I love this stuff! Makes my lashes pop!! Lancome is all I wear, and the only one that does give me racoon eyes. — 7 years, 1 month agoWIaggie | 5 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
The Seeker desires Solvers to provide novel approaches using existing systems for the demilitarization, destruction, or neutralization of a hypothetical stockpile of chemical warfare agents that can significantly reduce the size and complexity of current systems without compromising the systems' safety. This size and mobility issues makes it exceedingly difficult to rapidly treat large stockpiles (potentially ~1,500 tons) of chemical warfare agents without either having to build a dedicated facility at the location of the agents (a slow, difficult, and very costly option using current designs) or having to transport the agents to an existing remediation facility (creating the possibility for release of the agents in transport). Finally, the Seeker's urgent need for a solution to this Challenge requires that proposed solutions must be based primarily on repurposing existing, commercially available technology.
This Challenge requires only a detailed written proposal.

Kazakhstan to Air 'The Vicar of Dibley'
Kazakhstan broadcaster, the Khabar Agency, has bought the rights to air the award-winning, British sit-com "The Vicar of Dibley," the BBC said.
The show is about Geraldine Granger, a vivacious vicar who shakes things up in a small British village.
Starring Dawn French as the title character, who describes herself as a "babe with a bob cut and a magnificent bosom," as well as James Fleet, Emma Chambers and Gary Waldhorn as various local oddballs, the Richard Curtis-penned show was first broadcast in 1994 and ran three seasons. The cast has also reunited for several specials.
Guest stars on the series have been Johnny Depp, Sarah Ferguson, Kylie Minogue, Rachel Hunter, Sean Bean and Richard Armitage.
"This is brilliant. I have always felt that the people of Kazakhstan were the ideal audience for the vicar," said the show's executive producer Jon Plowman. "Seriously, this is great news and shows how comedy breaks down barriers. I hope they love it."
BBC Worldwide's Monisha Shah added: "We're delighted that Kazakhstan viewers will see this wonderful Emmy Award-winning comedy thanks to broadcaster Khabar Agency. I am sure that like thousands of others around the world, they will also enjoy the charm and delights of English parish life, so beautifully crafted by Richard Curtis and Dawn French."

13.07.06 - By Chris Ireland: Where is greatness found? Is it on the cover of magazines and newspapers? Is it becoming synonymous with "pay-per-view event" and "box office blockbuster"? Or, if you're Antonio Tarver, is it having your name on the correct side of the television screen? Or is greatness found not in the bright lights of the mainstream media and superstardom, but in the darkest moments of one's career? Is it when the fire that once lit up a fighter's career fade, and all he has left is one chance to rekindle the brightness? Indeed, that rekindled brightness, even if it's only a flash on a Saturday night, is where greatness is found. The best always find a way to come back.
There was a time when Shane Mosley and Fernando Vargas were two of boxing's brightest young stars. Shane was a remarkably quick pound-for-pound king who won over fans with his charming personality. Fernando was a destructive machine fueled by anger who forced instead of finessed his way to becoming the youngest junior middleweight champion in history. It's been too long to remember what side of the television screen they appeared on, but Mosley and Vargas had made the cover of several magazines and newspapers and were worthy of mega fight status.
Every fighter has his wall. Whether it's an opponent, punishment, or merely age, it brings his career to a violent halt. For Mosley the wall was Winky Wright, whom he lost to twice in 2004. Vernon Forrest had destroyed Mosley's status as the best fighter on the planet, but "Sugar" was able to reclaim elite status with a victory over Oscar De La Hoya in 2003. It was Wright that made him look shot. For Vargas it was punishment. "El Feroz" bravely put his undefeated record and WBA title on the line against Felix Trinidad in 2000. In front of the boxing world Vargas transformed from an up and coming kid into a battle hardened warrior. He fought valiantly, but was brutally knocked down five times on the way to being stopped in the final round. He then took on his hated rival, Oscar De La Hoya, in a battle of Mexican pride. Vargas again waged war with a superstar of his era, only to be brutally taken out in the late rounds. All he was after that, it seemed, was damaged goods.
Vargas and Mosley then found themselves in a downward spiral. Each man was involved in a scandal and each looked ordinary against opposition meant to make them look great. Both also went through a bit of an identity crisis. Mosley changed trainers from his father to Joe Goossen to John David Jackson. "El Feroz" began to fancy himself a boxer. Vargas began using shoulder roll and speed techniques against the likes of Raymond Joval, Javier Castillejo, and Fitz Vanderpool. To steal a line from the immortal Larry Merchant, it was like "watching a rottweiler at a dog show."
Mosley too had his trouble with ordinary foes. After his second loss to Wright and fourth in six fights, Mosley took on David Estrada and Jose Luis Cruz in the welterweight division in 2005. Instead of surging back into the limelight via the comeback trail, Mosley stumbled through a rocky path, decisioning Estrada and Cruz in bland performances. Creeping up on his mid thirties, Shane's nickname nearly went from "Sugar" to "Shot."
It was at that point Vargas and Mosley found themselves with their backs to the wall. Signing on to fight each other in February, the fire that had once lit up their career had dimmed. All that was left was a chance to rekindle the fire. The situation (not exactly the stakes) wasn't unlike that of Ali-Frazier III or Hagler-Leonard. It's that point in time, when two declining fighters square off to see who goes home and who stages one last hurrah, is when great fights happen. It's when great fighters win. It's where greatness is born.
What Mosley and Vargas did was what so many of their fans had hoped: they rekindled the fire. Mosley, returning to the days of using his blinding hand speed to overwhelm slower opponents with combinations, jumped out to an early lead. Vargas, no longer the bull in a Matador's clothing, gradually powered his way back into the bout to even it out at the halfway mark.
But while the drama of the increasingly even bout unfolded, Vargas' eye began swelling shut. Despite warnings from his corner that the bout soon would be halted, Vargas refused to abandon his game plan and continued to charge Mosley. Mosley, recognizing that he was fighting a cyclops, targeted the swollen mass and fired away repeatedly with the right hand as the bout entered the late rounds.
By the tenth, Vargas' eye was a punching bag for Mosley: as easy to hit and nearly as big. Nonetheless, the Mexican warrior refused to give up, just as he had done against men who many thought had destroyed his career. Joe Cortez eventually, however, halted the bout midway through the round. With all three scorecards having the bout scored either way by a point, both men felt they were winning when the bout was stopped. Before his eye had blown up, Vargas seemed to be seizing momentum with his power punching. Mosley had jumped out to the early lead and busted up Vargas' eye. A rematch was soon signed.
So we return to the same point we were at five months ago. With the first fight providing the classic feel that is simultaneous with the return to form of boxing superstars and an inconclusive finish, both Fernando Vargas and Shane Mosley once again have their backs to the wall. For Vargas, a fourth loss in a major fight may end his run as an elite fighter, even at 28. For Mosley, a fifth loss in ten bouts at age 34 would bring back whispers of the "S" word.
Together, they rejuvenated their careers in the first meeting. Now they'll try to destroy them. If again they are able to rekindle the fire that they flashed in February, we could see another great fight. The thought here is it's Vargas who will walk away the winner this time. In the first meeting, Vargas became increasingly effective with power shots and, had his eye not blown up, might have come out with the victory. Fernando has also come into camp in much better shape than last time, meaning he won't be as weak on fight night as he was in the initial meeting. It's this writer's opinion that Mosley and Vargas will wage war early with the faster man gaining a slight edge. By the late rounds, however, Vargas will wear Mosley down with power shots and win an exciting, slim unanimous decision. Trilogy, anyone?

- I started out with a 4x4x8. Then I cut the blocks ( and when I say I, I mean the guys at home depot lol) down to 3.5 in. The base I had cut to 7 inches.
- After I gave each block a couple coats of paint,I printed out the vinyl with my Silhouette. You could really do any variation of colors. I chose a more neutral color to match their houses.
- Then I distressed the edges with a little distress ink. Gosh I love this stuff!
- Next I cut my pictures down to 3x3 and mod podged them on.
- Once they were dry I tied a little bow around them, and sent them off to grandma's!

SUNRISE, FL - FEBRUARY 1: Saku Koivu #11 of the Anaheim Ducks and Dominic Moore #19 of the Florida Panthers fight along the boards on February 1, 2010 at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Florida. The Ducks defeated the Panthers 3-0. (Photo by Joel Auerbach/Getty Images)
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- Saku Koivu scored two of his three goals on slick setups by Teemu Selanne in the third period, and the Anaheim Ducks beat the Dallas Stars 5-2 Tuesday night for their first three-game winning streak in nearly three months. Koivu scored the tiebreaking goal with 10:28 to play and added an empty-net goal with 53.7 seconds left for the longtime Montreal captain's second career hat trick. Jeff Deslauriers made 26 saves in his first NHL appearance in nearly two years for Anaheim, which hadn't won three straight since starting the season 4-1. Luca Sbisa also scored, and Matt Beleskey added his first goal of the season with 5:20 to play.

Gear Review
Daryl Deprey
Extremely fun all mountain jib board
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
So this is my second "camrock" rossi, my first was the j-dub, the predecessor to the jibsaw.
A bit about my set up:
Union forces. 24" stance. set back 1"(rode centered but set back was better for pow and float)
32 TM two
So, the board is initially much softer than the j-dub, while still being a 7 on their scale. the great thing is it still has the same support as you flex into the board making it a great jib and shred option.
The early rise tip and tail make butters and presses a piece of cake and it also keeps the tip up while smashing through fresh or chopped up pow.
The mag is pretty mellow on this deck compared to other but is still noticeable and quite effective. With the camber between your feet, magnetraction, and early rise tips most of the grip is derived from your feet and between which results in the board riding pretty short and feels like a skate board with big floaty tip and tail.
Bottom line is this thing rips all the conditions. The short running length really focuses the grip at and between your feet and not at the tip and tail so for wide open charging it may not be the best board. However it's a great every day resort board.

Critical Review by Ruth Behar
SOURCE: "In the House of the Spirits," in The Women's Review of Books, Vol. XIII, No. 2, November, 1995, p. 8.
Below, Behar praises Paula as "immensely life-affirming."
"Listen, Paula, I am going to tell you a story, so that when you wake up you will not feel so lost." With those simple, enchanted words, the Chilean novelist Isabel Allende begins Paula, a memoir of devastating passion dedicated to her daughter. Sadly, unlike Sleeping Beauty, Paula Frias Allende will never awaken to hear her mother's tale. She has fallen, at the age of 28, into a sudden coma caused by the rare illness of porphyria, which has left her speechless, motionless, lost in an angelic stupor that is broken only rarely by tears and trembling. As her mother unfolds her tale, patiently seeking to awaken Paula and bring her back to the world of the living, Paula edges closer to death. By the end, she becomes a gentle spirit who appears to her mother in the night, asking to be released from the suffering and weight of her body. Allende must finally confront a harsh truth: not only that her tale won't save her daughter, but that she must cease her storytelling altogether, for it is keeping Paula strapped to a reality she no longer inhabits.
Paula, despite the title, is not a biography or even an account of the life of Isabel Allende's daughter. It is Allende's own autobiography, told to a daughter who has entered a limbo between life and death. Paula's entrance into that border zone becomes the occasion for Isabel Allende to tell her own life story. The dying daughter becomes a mirror in which the mother reaffirms her reality and comes to terms with the decisions she has made as a woman and a writer. In the cruelest possible twisting of the order of things, Paula must die before her mother, must become a daughter who gives birth to her mother. This unflinchingly honest self-portrait becomes Allende's parting gift to her daughter.
How inspiring it is for any woman who feels she has yet to do the work that really matters to read Isabel Allende's story of how she found her calling as a novelist. Allende recalls, "New Year's, 1981. That day brought home the fact that soon I would be forty and had not until then done anything truly significant. Forty! that was the beginning of the end, and I did not have to stretch too much to imagine myself sitting in a rocking chair knitting socks." Unable to imagine what she might do that would seem significant in her own eyes, she makes a number of sensible New Year's resolutions. She resolves to stay indefinitely in Venezuela, where she'd gone into exile with her husband, her two children, her mother and her stepfather in 1975 after General Pinochet toppled the democratic government of her uncle, Salvador Allende, and instituted a regime of repression, torture and terror. She resolves to continue working steadily at a school in Caracas for children with emotional problems, which will provide security and stability. And she resolves to "sacrifice love" for the "noble companionship" of a good husband, for whom she no longer feels any passion.
"The plan was entirely rational—and it lasted not quite a week," Allende tells us. On January 8, in a phone call from Santiago de Chile, she learns that Tata, her beloved grandfather, soon to turn one hundred years old, is dying. She begins to write a letter "to tell him he could go in peace because I would never forget him and planned to bequeath his memory to my children and my children's children." That letter, like a wild weed, quickly and unexpectedly grows into the five hundred pages of her novel, The House of the Spirits, and it is Paula who, in another strange gesture of premonition, tosses the coin that helps Allende choose the title of the book that will completely change her life.
Not long after, Allende writes a second novel, Of Love and Shadows, to prove to her literary agent in Spain that she is a serious writer and not just the accidental lucky author of a bestseller. All her sensible plans for a quiet and predictable life joyfully unravel. She quits her job at the school, gracefully undoes her marriage in a single afternoon and lets passion sweep over her in California, where she meets Willie, a cowboy-booted lawyer who'd given up on women, and overnight convinces herself and him that they have found in each other the passion of a lifetime. Sound romantic? Well, it is, and Allende, a magical writer, makes you believe that "happily ever after" is still possible, and in the very prime of a woman's life.
Now, Allende desperately wishes she could trade her life for her daughter's life. She is a privileged woman, in that she can afford to be present constantly at Paula's bedside and can hire others to help with all the complicated details of her daughter's daily care. But like Job she struggles with God, asking why her daughter had to be anointed early, so early, as a spirit? For a writer whose first best-selling novel was entitled The House of the Spirits, it is ironic to see that fictional house of spirits transformed into her real-life daughter's home.
Indeed, the premonitions of her fiction haunt Allende throughout the writing of Paula. Especially eerie to her is the foresight embedded in her short story, "And of Clay Are We Created," which was inspired by the 1985 avalanche in Colombia that buried a village in mud. Among those trapped was Omaira Sánchez, a thirteen-year-old girl who became the focus of attention of news-hungry photographers, journalists and television cameras that fixed their curious and helpless eyes on the girl who kept her faith in life as she bravely met her death. In that horrid audience of onlookers, there was one man, a reporter, who made the decision to stop observing Omaira from the lens of his camera and lay down in the mud to offer her what comfort he could as her heart and lungs collapsed. Allende, who was obsessed by "the torment of that poor child buried alive," wrote her story from the perspective of a woman—and she was that woman—"who watches the televised struggle of the man holding the girl."
Allende assumed that once the story was published (in The Stories of Eva Luna), Omaira would disappear from her life. But Omaira, she discovers, is
a dogged angel who will not let me forget her. When Paula fell into a coma and became a prisoner in her bed, inert, dying slowly before the helpless gaze of all around her, I remembered the face of Omaira Sánchez. My daughter was trapped in her body, as the girl had been trapped in mud. Only then did I understand why I had thought about her all those years, and finally could decipher the message in those intense black eyes: patience, courage, resignation, dignity in the face of death.
She reaches a paradoxical conclusion: "If I write something, I fear it will happen, and if I love too much, I fear I will lose that person; nevertheless, I cannot stop writing or loving…."
Like the reporter who joins the girl in the mud, Allende, too, relinquishes the detached observer position. For her, this means exiling herself from the territory of fiction, which in the past has allowed her to invent the destinies of her characters and so removed reality to a safe and controllable distance. Until her daughter fell ill, she remarks, she much preferred to write fiction. But with Paula's descent into death, Allende comes to feel she can only write about the world that lies insistently before her, as if
a dark curtain has separated me from the fantasy world in which I used to move so freely; reality has become intractable…. Everything is suspended, I have nothing to tell, the present has the brutal certainty of tragedy. I close my eyes and before me rises the painful image of my daughter in her wheelchair, her eyes staring toward the sea, her gaze focused beyond the horizon where death begins.
The pages of the memoir that Allende writes at her daughter's bedside in a Madrid hospital and later in her home in California are
an irreversible voyage through a long tunnel; I can't see an exit but I know there must be one. I can't go back, only continue to go forward, step by step, to the end. As I write, I look for a sign, hoping that Paula will break her implacable silence and answer somehow in these yellow pages …
Paula is a heartbreaking lament, written with the charged poetry that emerges at those times when there is an urgent need to speak, though one knows that words, no matter how ravishingly spoken, will change nothing. Isabel Allende couldn't save her daughter by writing Paula, nor even by enlisting every kind of therapy and remedy, from the most advanced biomedical techniques to acupuncture and astrology. And yet it is a tribute to Allende's skill as a writer and the depth of her soul-searching that Paula, written on the eve of death, is immensely life-affirming. This is one of those unusual books about suffering that has no use for pity, that manages, somehow, in a situation of utter depletion, to give much more to the reader than would have seemed possible. One reads Paula with gratitude for the way it poignantly marks the loss of a daughter while restoring faith in the power of language to free those of us women who are still in this world and still caught in the labyrinths of our own lives. And Margaret Sayers Peden's translation into English is so exquisite that the unpretentious lyricism of Allende's Spanish seems to glow on the page.
In the face of her daughter's dying, Allende may have felt unable to write fiction, but like Eva Luna, the protagonist of her third book, she has clearly set out to live her life "like a novel." Or at least, to her daughter, Paula, to try to awaken her, she tells her life as if it were a novel. In that novel of her life, Isabel Allende emerges as a woman who isn't afraid of her own desire, or her own happiness. She is able to admit, at one of the worst moments of her grief, "I have lived nearly half a century, my daughter is dying, and still I want to make love. I think of Willie's reassuring presence and feel goosebumps rise on my skin, and can only smile at the amazing power of desire that makes me shiver despite my sorrow, even push death from my mind." Embracing life and love with all her might, Allende honors the memory of Paula and lets her go, gently, back out into the universe.

Tracking and storing strategies will make the inevitable touch-up work much easier
Avoid storing paint in places where the temperature reaches extremes. Don't store paint next to the dryer in the laundry room or next to the heater in a utility room. Likewise, don't store paint in the garage. If it gets too hot or too cold, it will be ruined.
Many homeowners are uncertain about how to dispose of paint properly, so the cans just stack up. It's true that you can't just toss paint cans into your trash bin, but the options for disposal are actually not very difficult. It does take a little bit of time and effort, which is why most people don't do it regularly. But cycling out the old cans each time you paint will save you work in the long run and give you more storage space in the short term.
Most area communities offer locations to dispose of hazardous waste. Those locations can be found on the websites of local jurisdictions. Alternatively, you can dry out your unused paint before throwing it away with your household trash. Small amounts of paint will dry if you simply leave the lid off, but larger amounts require combining the unused paint with absorbent materials such as cat litter or sand. You can also buy paint hardener at a hardware store.
So before you sit back, relax and enjoy your newly painted room, take time to do a little housekeeping. You'll thank yourself later.

Jeff has agreed to letting me copy over player data to my server to keep his dedicated players happy.
(skyblock, creative, and skywars2 is copied over) /server cpskyblock /server cpcreative and /server cpskywars2
The creative server and skywars servers will be transfered over later tonight.
I am working out how to intergrate some of CraftPimps player ranks into our own.
I have told my staff to be leanient on enforcing some of our rules.
To welcome CraftPimps Players I have started a discount coupon code "pimp" where you can get a 20% discount off any rank on WickedCraft.
General FAQ about the server move
I am working to get the CP Creative and Skyblock servers back online, both need alot of work to upgrade to 1.8 Some plugins auto updated and caused chaos then the server restarted.

Shakey's V-League: Ateneo tipped to tab second win
MANILA–First conference titlist Ateneo hopes to sustain its solid form when it tackles Perpetual Help, even as two more teams debut Tuesday in the Shakey's V-League Season 8 Open Conference at the FilOil-Flying V Arena in San Juan.
The Lady Eagles will go into the 4 p.m. duel with the Lady Altas oozing with confidence after a dominant showing against newcomer Maynilad Sunday.
Ateneo, which opted not to field a guest player this time to maximize the exposure of its players who will see action in the UAAP, overpowered Maynilad in straight sets, 25-15, 25-21, 25-22.
Powerhouse squads Army and Navy open their campaigns when they collide at 2 p.m.
Alyssa Valdez and Fille Cainglet, who powered the Lady Eagles to victory with a combined 35 hits against the Water Dragons, will again be at the forefront of the attack along with setter Jem Ferrer, whose timely drop shots also proved vital Sunday.
The Lady Altas will try to counter with guest player Giza Yumang, April Sartin, Ronnery Dela Cruz and Sandra Delos Santos.
The Army-Navy clash could pass up for an All-Star game of the league.
Former Far Eastern U star Rachelle Ann Daquis will be joining forces with the Carolino sisters, Michelle and Mayeth, as well as former Lyceum reinforcement Dahlia Cruz for the Army volleybelles.
The Navy lineup also looks stacked with former league MVP Neriza Bautista, Michelle Laborte and Suzanne Roces on the roster along with standout setter Janet Serafica.

More than six years before Wednesday's deadly bridge collapse in Minneapolis, Milwaukee was dealing with its own freeway bridge failure.
During morning rush hour on Dec. 13, 2000, the Hoan Bridge suddenly buckled. Sheriff's deputies quickly evacuated the I-794 bridge and shut it down.
Unlike the I-35W bridge over the Mississippi River, the Hoan Bridge did not collapse, and no one was hurt or killed. But two of the three major girders holding up one section of the bridge had snapped, and the third girder was cracking. Two weeks later, a demolition team blew up the crippled section before it could fall on its own. The bridge did not reopen until February 2001.
The Hoan Bridge failure was an unprecedented engineering mystery that took months to solve. Ordinarily, bridge inspectors monitor slow-growing cracks and order repairs long before the cracks develop into anything dangerous. But previous inspections had found no significant cracks in the two girders that broke apart.
Eventually, investigators pinned the blame on the elaborate design of support components that appeared sound when they were installed in the 1970s. Like other parts of the bridge, they were supposed to bend, rather than break. But in extreme cold, the investigation found, those components could not bend under the weight of heavy trucks, and they broke instead.
Wisconsin authorities replaced the Hoan Bridge components as part of a $16 million repair job. Similar components were replaced on the High-Rise Bridge and others around the state.
Meanwhile, the Federal Highway Administration dubbed the components "Hoan-like details" and issued a nationwide alert to check all 300 to 400 U.S. bridges with those features. Other states stepped up inspections and ordered repairs. And the Hoan Bridge failure is now discussed in bridge-inspection classes throughout the country.

Dubai's taxi services have been named the third best in the world, according to a study by travel website TripAdvisor.
A poll of 75,000 respondents worldwide by the site ranked the emirate's ubiquitous beige cabs second only to those of Tokyo and Singapore in terms of standard of service. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Moscow, Beijing and Kuala Lumpur were castigated for the quality of their cabbies.
The study, which looked at 40 key tourist destinations worldwide, also scrutinised cities on criteria including friendliest locals, cleanest streets, ease of getting around, value for money and shopping.
Dubai, home of the world's largest mall, was also praised for the quality of its shopping, although was still ranked behind New York City and Bangkok.
Japanese capital Tokyo was commended in several categories, coming top of the pile for safety, public transport, cleanest streets and taxi services, as well as coming second to Cancun for friendliest locals.
Russia's capital Moscow was slated across the board and drew criticism for its unfriendly locals, low quality taxi services, uncompetitive value for money and poor shopping options. Mumbai, India's largest city, scored badly in terms of cleanliness and ease of getting round.

Eric Cantor Given Total Control Of House In Late Night Rule Change By GOP (VIDEO)
In the dead of night before the shutdown, the Republicans forced through a rule change, one which effectively handed over control of the government over to one man, Eric Cantor.
House Republicans cheered when Van Hollen remarked "Democracy has been suspended" - Detailed analysis and transcript below.
I really hope people are paying close attention.
I'd say the Koch Cabal might be getting their monies' worth this month.*
H. Res 368 was passed on October 1, 2013 with the help of 7 Democrats which, essentially, log jammed standing house rules.
Specifically, H. Res 368 jammed an important procedure that was designed to help the minority bring a Bill to the floor for a vote.
THE GOP OWN THE SHUT DOWN 100% with this sneaky resolution!
Discharge Petitions are used when the chair of a committee refuses to place a bill or resolution on the Committee's agenda; by never reporting a bill, the matter will never leave the committee, and the full House will not be able to consider it. A successful petition "discharges" the committee from further consideration of a bill or resolution and brings it directly to the floor.H. Res 368 changed the Standing Rules of the House of Representatives last week to prevent anyone who wasn't the Speaker Majority Leader or his designee from bringing the petition up for a vote, thus guaranteeing Democrats had no way to stop the shutdown.
On October 12, 2013 the Democrats tried to end the Shut Down and learned that Bohener changed the rules, which you can watch in this video:
Chris Van Hollen, a Democrat, tried to end the Government Shutdown with a Discharge Petition on October 12, 2013, only to learn that the House rules had been changed. (Both old and new embed codes included so handhelds can view.)
At minute 5:08 Van Hollen states "Democracy has been suspended" which is followed by cheers from the Republican Representatives.
Here are key some key points of the Van Hollen and Chavetz interaction seen in the video.
Van Hollen: "So, Mr. Speaker, just so I understand… H. Res 368 CHANGED THE STANDING RULES OF THE HOUSE TO TAKE AWAY FROM ANY MEMBER OF THE HOUSE THE PRIVILEGE OF CALLING UP THE SENATE BILL TO IMMEDIATELY REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT?"Neither Boehner or his designee were on the floor of the House.
Jason Chavetz: "It did change the operation of the standing rule."
"The Chair will not give an advisory opinion"
"The House will follow H. Res. 368"
Van Hollen: "The Rules Committee, under the Rules of the House, changed the Standing Rules of the House to take away the right of any member to move to vote to OPEN THE GOVERNMENT, and gave that right EXCLUSIVELY to the Republican leader, is that right?"
Jason Chavetz: The House adoped that resolution (H. Res 368)
Van Hollen: Democracy has been suspended.
Below you will find a screen shot of the bill and who voted for and against H Res 368. You will also find ample proof that the Koch Cabal paid for the shutdown, even they they are now trying to deny it.
"Democracy has been suspended"
THE BILL offered by Pete Sessions TX
Map of the Vote for H. Res 368
This was done to make it harder, if not impossible, for Dems to bring a discharge order
House Democrats Unveil Discharge Petition To Force End To Shutdown
A Discarge Petition makes it possible for any MAJORITY combination of Representatives to bring a clean CR to the floor for a vote. The Dems would have needed approximately 17 GOP Reps to join them.
H. Res 368 tied the hands of all the GOP REPS to Boehner.
This is an interesting read:
LegerdeBoehner, or "The Rules Rule."
What this means, in short, is that the House collectively asserts that it is "done considering" the Senate's version of the CR, and requests that the two have a "sit down" to work out the details of a compromise. This is pretty normal.Never forget, the Koch Cabal is spending $Billions to take over our democratic process. It is also spending Hundreds of Millions of dollars for Legal means to subvert Congressional order. They are getting their monies worth this month.
The "trickery," which I absolutely love, is the second part, which states
Any motion pursuant to clause 4 of rule XXII relating to House Joint Resolution 59 may be offered only by the Majority Leader or his designee.
What this little sentence does is further make discharge of a clean CR even harder.
Sadly. Imagine the people who could be helped with all this money.
*Shut Down Background reading:
All the Koch Cabal money helps fund professionals, in part, to research and craft parliamentary procedures for Speaker Boehner so he can do his Koch Cabal handlers bidding.

No ceiling on expenditure to modernise arms and train police personnel, says Chief Minister
'Blasts a plot of international terrorists to scuttle development process'
Jaipal Reddy differs with Advani on demand for revival of POTA
HYDERABAD: Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy has said that the State Government will procure sophisticated arms and update the training of its police force to combat terrorism.
The Government will not impose any ceiling on expenditure to modernise arms and train the police personnel, he said at a meeting on Monday organised by the Youth Congress in the backdrop of the bomb blasts in the city.
The meeting was supposed to be held to mark the launch of a membership drive by the Youth Congress but was converted to discuss peace.
Dr. Reddy said the terrorists struck with venom taking advantage of the surprise element in their attacks and did this sneakily to prove their existence.
He added that the latest blasts were a plot of international terrorist organisations to scuttle the development process in Hyderabad which had emerged as a major centre.
The terrorists turned their attention to the city as the industrial houses looked to it.
They targeted the State as a whole because it had also become a model for anti-terrorist operations of the police in the last couple of years.
Union Urban Development Minister S.Jaipal Reddy said he did not agree with BJP leader L.K. Advani's demand for revival of POTA to deal with terrorism because stringent laws did not help establish peace anywhere in the world.
They were enacted in western countries after the terrorists pulled down the World Trade Center but were withdrawn later.
In India, POTA did not help in the prevention of attacks on Parliament and Akshardham temple.
Reputation dented
Energy Minister Mohammed Ali Shabbir said the three-year rule of the Congress Government had allayed apprehensions of people before the last elections about communal tensions if the party returned to power.
But the latest terrorist attack and the earlier one at Mecca Masjid dented the Government's reputation.
Indian Youth Congress president Ashok Tanwar said the membership drive of the organisation at the national level was launched on August 16. The State units took up the programme subsequently.
AP Congress Committee president K. Keshava Rao flagged off a peace march by Youth Congress activists from Ravindra Bharathi, the meeting venue, to Lumbini Park.
Mr. Tanwar administered a pledge to participants at the park.

The King of Attolia is a young adult fantasy novel by Megan Whalen Turner, first published by Greenwillow Books in 2006.
The King of Attolia is preceded by The Thief and The Queen of Attolia, and is followed by A Conspiracy of Kings. It is the third of Megan Whalen Turner's four books about Eugenides, the Thief of Eddis.
The books are set in a Byzantine-like imaginary landscape, reminiscent of ancient Greece and other territories around the Mediterranean. The action takes place in the countries of Eddis, Attolia, and Sounis. The characters' names are also Greek, and references are made to actual Greek authors, but this is fantasy, not historical fiction. The gods of Turner's pantheon, ruled by the Great Goddess Hephestia, are her own, and her world possesses such items as guns and pocket watches.
Eugenides, the one-handed former Thief of Eddis, has married the Queen of Attolia, bringing peace to the two countries and becoming King. But what kind of a king is he? Slouching on his throne, he appears to sleep during important briefings, makes snide remarks, wears ridiculous clothes, and refuses to be more than a figurehead, letting the Queen rule as she has always done. The Attolian court resents him as a foreigner, an upstart, and an ineffectual fool.
The story is told largely from the point of view of Costis, a young soldier in the Queen's Guard. When the King insults Teleus, captain of the Guard, Costis loses control and knocks the King down. He expects to be executed, but the King spares his life and makes him his reluctant confidant. Costis finds the King maddening, obnoxious, and conniving, but slowly he begins to have some sympathy for Eugenides – a very young man, far from his mountain home in Eddis, married to the beautiful but ruthless Queen.
The plot twists and turns through an assassination attempt and various political intrigues involving the traitorous Baron Erondites and his sons; Relius, the Queen's master of spies; and Eugenides's old enemy, Nahuseresh of the Mede Empire. Costis begins to realize that there is much more to the King than meets the eye. He gains a clearer understanding of the King's abilities, motives, and complex relationship with the Queen. With this knowledge, Costis finds his own life and reputation at risk. Surprising revelations continue throughout the book, as the fate of three nations hinges on Eugenides's internal struggle to accept his own destiny and truly be the King of Attolia.
The King of Attolia received starred reviews from School Library Journal, The Horn Book, Kirkus Reviews, and Library Media Connection, as well as positive reviews from other review sources. It was a School Library Journal Best Book, an ALA Top 10 Best Book for Young Adults,[1] was on the Horn Book Fanfare list, the New York Public Library Books for the Teen Age list, and the Dorothy Canfield Fisher Children's Book Award Masterlist.

New leads for sale on the "Available" page. Please click HERE.
Regardless of the braider you decide to purchase from, look through their items. Look at the tightness of the braid, the smoothness of the product. Look at the way they connect the hardware to the lead. Kangaroo is a very strong leather, however, all leads should be round braided through the hardware and then backbraided for attachment. You do not want two strands of leather holding your snap on. If they have pictures that can be enlarged, you normally can tell a lot about the quality of the braiding (though not necessarily the quality of the leather). If you want beads on your leads, look to see how the beads are secured. If the beads are not secured properly, they will move on the lead over time. The main thing that I would advise against, is purchasing a lead at a dog show. These are mass produced leads and will not last as long as a custom braided lead.
Why should small dogs have all of the fancy show equipment? We make kangaroo leads and collars for BIG dogs too! All kangaroo items are available in 4, 6 or 8 strand designs.

I write every day for at least two hours, and I spend the rest of my time largely in the society of ducks.
If you want to write well and live well at the same time you better arrange to inherit money.
My advice is to start reading and writing and looking and listening. Pay less attention to yourself than to what is outside you and if you must write about yourself, get a good distance away and judge yourself with a stranger's eyes and a stranger's severity.
Mine is a comic art, but that does not detract from its seriousness.
Don't be alarmed if you hear something that sounds like 'Help!' It is only the peacocks.
The disease is no consequence to my writing, since for that I use my head and not my feet.
O'Connor: This is a hellish question inspired by the devil who tempts textbook publishers. I have been writing stories for fifteen years without a definition of one. The best I can do is tell you what a story is not.
1) It is not a joke.
2) It is not an anecdote.
3) It is not a lyric rhapsody in prose.
4) It is not a case history.
5) It is not a reported incident.
It is none of these things because it has an extra dimension and I think this extra dimension comes about when the writer puts us in the middle of some human action and shows it as it is illuminated and outlined by mystery. In every story there is some minor revelation which, no matter how funny the story may be, gives us a hint of the unknown, of death.

And with the money, the group gives children a place to live, three meals a day, access to doctors and nurses, tutors and free antiretroviral therapy. They also get a new life, and a future to go with it.
"Without AidChild, I think I would be dead," said Dorah Wanyana Dunigan, who came to the group when she was a 9-year-old, HIV-positive orphan. "My sister didn't know what to do about me, so they just kept me somewhere and waited for my death."
Dorah — who was adopted by Dunigan shortly after she arrived at AidChild — is now a 20-year-old student with a funny little giggle and very big plans.
Thanks to the tutoring and health care she received, Dorah was able to go to boarding school. She is at a medical-intern clinic in Uganda studying to be a doctor. And thanks to USD's Summer Institute on Leadership and International Cooperation, Dorah just wrapped up her first visit to the United States.
Ten years from now, Dorah hopes to be a doctor and a businesswoman, the better to help AidChild live long and continue to prosper. Dunigan's plan is to keep AidChild close to his heart while setting his sights on a new global dream.
"I hope to transform the education sector in sub-Saharan Africa," Dunigan says with a smile. "Ten years should be enough for that."
