The mother is black and tan, the father was black with yellow stripping on his legs and tail. With a rehoming fee of $355, however, I'm willing to negotiation a lower fee.

Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In this fantastical thriller, five young teens tapped as models for theme park "guides" find themselves pitted against Disney villains and witches that threaten both the future of Walt Disney World and the stability of the world outside its walls.
Using a cutting-edge technology called DHI — which stands for both Disney Host Interactive and Daylight Hologram Imaging — Finn Whitman, an Orlando teen, and four other kids are transformed into hologram projections that guide guests through the park.
The new technology turns out, however, to have unexpected effects that are both thrilling and scary. Soon Finn finds himself transported in his DHI form into the Magic Kingdom at night. Is it real? Is he dreaming?
Finn's confusion only increases when he encounters Wayne, an elderly Imagineer who tells him that the park is in grave danger. Led by the scheming witch Maleficent, a mysterious group of characters called the Overtakers is plotting to destroy Disney's beloved realm, and maybe more.
"This far-fetched, high-concept story will find an audience despite its fuzzy premise and the creaky workings of its plot. Finn Whitman, 13, is one of five 'hologram hosts,' middle-school students whose likenesses have been digitally captured so they can appear constantly, guiding visitors around Disney's Magic Kingdom. Finn awakens one night, inside the park, as his hologram self. He's met by Wayne, one of the original 'Imagineers,' who tells Finn that all five hosts are needed to solve a riddle left by Walt to prevent the villainous 'Overtakers' from wreaking havoc inside the gates and throughout the world. Their mission to solve the puzzle, which involves 3-D glasses and trips inside rides such as It's a Small World and Splash Mountain is enough fun that most readers will set aside some nagging questions (e.g., how did Walt, who died five years before the park opened, leave clues inside structures that hadn't been built yet, and why are a bunch of seventh-graders the only ones who can save the place?). The threat rings hollow anyway. Only one 'Overtaker' materializes — Maleficent, the witch from Disney's Sleeping Beauty. Finn is the sole fleshed-out character (the two girl hosts are given little to do and seem indistinguishable), and some passages read like an ad (as when Wayne catologues the Disney empire: 'the Disney parks, the cruise line, the Broadway shows, the Web sites, Disney on Ice'). Still, with Finn and friends traversing tunnels and battling the creepy Audio-Animatronic characters, readers will likely line up for this ride. Ages 10-up. (Sept.)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"[T]he illicit thrill of seeing all the things you don't normally get to see (both real and imaginary) makes this a must-read for serious Disney fans." School Library Journal
"[P]eople who are into fantasy with a little bit of sci-fi will enjoy this book." VOYA
"Though the adventure makes cunning use of Disney's mythos...flat characters and an anticlimactic finale detract from the cleverness." Kirkus Reviews
In this fantastic thriller, five teenagers are hired by Disney as actors for its newest technology, Daylight Hologram Images. Soon, the kids are pitted against Disney villains and witches that threaten both the future of Walt Disney World and the stability of the world outside the park's walls.
When Disney comes looking for five teenagers to serve as actors for a new technology-Daylight Hologram Images, or DHIs-there is more to it than meets the eye. Strange things have been happening inside the Florida park: parts from one ride are found mysteriously moved to another; in the Fantasmic! show, the dragon unexplainably triumphs over Mickey; little blips in story lines and "offstage" antics by characters trouble managers. Finn Whitman, a middle-schooler, goes to sleep one night and has the dream of a lifetime: he "wakes up" inside Disney World as his DHI character, a glowing hologram. He meets an old man there, Wayne, who claims to be one of the original Imagineers and explains to Finn that he "and your friends" have a mission to save the park from forces that humans can neither see nor hear. Not believing his dream, but not totally discounting it, Finn, back in real life, sets out to find the four other kids who were chosen to be DHIs and in doing so he learns an eerie fact: he is not alone in this "dream." The others have had similar experiences. What if this is for real?

A community of expecting mothers (35+ Years Old) offering support through pregnancy and childbirth. Ask a question, join a conversation, share experiences.
A woman's breasts increase in size and fullness during pregnancy. Tender and painful breasts with a tingling sensation in the nipples is often one of the first signs of pregnancy. As the due date approaches, hormone changes will cause your breasts to get even bigger to prepare for breastfeeding. Your breasts may feel full, heavy, or tender.
In the third trimester, some pregnant women begin to leak colostrum from their breasts. Colostrum is the first milk that your breasts produce for the baby. It is a thick, yellowish fluid containing antibodies that protect newborns from infection.
Your hormones are getting your breasts ready for breastfeeding (or lactation). The milk ducts are growing and being filled with milk, stretching them out.

Police chief brings in training about hate crime
CORPUS CHRISTI - Corpus Christi police learned about hate crimes Thursday in a training session the department's police chief hopes to turn into a regional event for law enforcement officers.
About 20 Corpus Christi Police Department commanders and captains reviewed information on hate groups, hate crimes and laws related to them.
Police Chief Troy Riggs, who attended a hate crime and terrorism training in Washington, D.C., while with the Louisville (Ky.) Metro Police Department, said he wanted supervisors here to have similar training because it to help them recognize those types of crimes.
"It makes the command staff think and shows them how much responsibility they have," said Riggs, who joined the department as chief in October.
The training also can help commanders and captains recognize such crimes when they review weekly crime statistics and trends.
State law defines hate crimes as criminal acts against people or property based on bias or prejudice toward another's race, disability, religion, gender or sexual preference.
The majority of Texas' 246 hate crimes in 2008 were motivated by race, said Dena Marks, communications director for the Anti-Defamation League in Houston. A total of 7,783 hate crimes were reported nationally in 2008, the most since 2001, Marks said.

Sure - ldifde or csvde with do the export, you can clean up anything you like in the output file, and then use the same tool to do the import.
You could do an LDIF export/import to copy the users over using any tool you feel comfortable with.
However, of course your passwords will be lost, as will the SID's and remember to change the User Principle Name, since it will not make sense having the old domains in the new domain (though AD will accept any string for that value).
There is the ADMT (AD Migration Tool) which will update the sidHistory attribute with the old SID's so that if there are similar cross tree/forest trusts, which seem to use the SID as the identifier, they should continue to work on the newer domain.

1950 Hall of Famers Multi-Signed Baseball with Cobb, Speaker, Baker. It was the most talent-packed roster ever to compete in a Texas League game, though admittedly the players may have been a decade or two past their primes. The signers of this Official Texas League ball took the field to face a single batter at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas in front of an Opening Day crowd of 54,141, the largest in League history. Dizzy Dean walked the lead-off man on a three-two count and was summarily ejected in an orchestrated altercation with the umpire. Only Charlie Grimm, who played first base but then returned to his real job of managing the Dallas Eagles after the youngsters came in to replace the old timers, is absent from the ball. Present are Tris Speaker, Ty Cobb, Frank Baker, Charlie Gehringer, Mickey Cochrane, Travis Jackson, Dizzy Dean, Dufffy Lewis. Each blue fountain pen signature rates 7/10 or better, and the ball is lightly and evenly toned. Full LOA from PSA/DNA. Auction LOA from James Spence Authentication.

1. Redback Spider
The redback spider tops the animal lovers list because this arachnid would literally kill for some action — and does! The courtship begins with the male back-flipping into a sexual position, taunting the female by placing his rear directly in front of her venomous fangs. Guess that's one way to say, "Come and get it!" The female happily obliges, taking a bite out of her lover, but before the poison sets in, the male scurries away from her deadly embrace. Too bad he can't leave well enough alone — he eventually returns, only to be eaten by the female. Well … that's one way to avoid any awkward, serious relationship discussions!

I'm so happy! I just found my forever home with three other great rabbits, including Pookster and Amelie from SaveABunny and a stray baby bunny, named "Decoy" (or Alabama, not sure of his name so far). I love my bunny family and my humans, Rachel and Ryan!
Hi! My name is Ambrose. I am an exquisitely handsome, neutered, gentlemanly styled harlequin rex rabbit. Aren't my colors just amazing---sort of a fall harvest blend of orange, browns, black and all those warm tones of leaves falling from trees in the crisp autumn air.
Besides my dashing looks, I'm also a really nice rabbit who is eager to find a forever home. I love to snuggle and take naps on the sofa with my foster mom. I'm really a nice guy with so much love to share.
Won't you please adopt me?!

She told me she doesnt need me to reassure her, asking me
Customer Question
She told me she doesn't need me to reassure her, asking me questions about what would I do If she told me everything I am giving and have done with her is not enough for her, since I should've done that from the beginning even after revealing the lie she feels now its just a matter of convenience for me and that I am still on probation in our relationship. Is she trying to push me away no kiss after dropping of her kids. I can see all her faults I am ok with them. my Gut feeling once again telling me shes wanting to pursue or give other men a chance I dont know. Her cable was turned off no internet connecting does she feel less because I can see her faults and all. We just spent 2 weeks of nights and weekends spending the day with each others children. Her children asking me to take them to the park because she was busy. Cooked her dinner and bought her a few groceries after she said it was ok does she need reassurance again that she is the love of my life..My mind is going nuts and I think I doit to myself..Her sons Birthday is XXXXX up in a couple days, shes graduating, weve made plans already.She told me If I had an issue filling the fatherly role to her two kids I said no I dont have an issue now she needs space? does it mean no contact or just simply specifically what she stated that she doesn't want me to come over to her house / sleep over for a while after 2 weeks of everything being perfect? We had everything smooth again after weeks of hard work of me trying to mend the relationship I was successful started staying over every night, dinner plans, and family interacting. Last Night after a great conversation she brought up the same old feelings about me lying to her about the mother of my child living with me, She stated that she wants to be the number one priority and if I really did love her why did I not do the same thing of staying over every night. I told her that it was because I did not want to come off as pushy or overbearing even though now I know that's what she wanted. Shes wanted space before in the relationship usually last about a few hours but I am always the one initiating the contact via text or just through bumping into each other. Iam so drained with her so up and down I tell her shes worth the fight if I had to do everything all over again I would, but really dont feel like I have the motivation to do it feel strung along being tested to prove my love or I dont know I love a challenge but literally always feels like I'm being slapped in the face Shes always talking about marriage, cousins getting married, plans of marriage, dream Weeding, her morning wake up alarm is weeding bells. She told me all of a sudden out of nowhere that she doesn't want me to come over anymore for a while and she needed space. I have a great relationship with her children they invite me to their soccer practice and games so now I'm confused do I go, do I text her, Do I call her..etc she makes things so difficult everything was perfect up untill last night. She told me no multiple times telling me stop asking the same questions when I stop she says why and ask me what I was thinking about in that moment to make me forget about her and not care in that moment. I dont know what to do I love her she loves me. I dont want to push but yet feel like texting her random hey great day and what not like I always end up doing anyways. Give it a day no contact, couple days...her kids love me what do I do with that also. We literally act like we are married planning trips graduation plans errands..etc it feels so effortless organic fit together we are happy always smiling. All this occurred recently and then Our kids meet again had a great time, had dinner and I ended up asking her to spend the night with her she agreed we cuddled no sex and in the morning everything felt perfect again, but yet I still feel distant not affectionate shes not giving me any type of signal I am taking charge but yet feel shes not giving me anything back distance is what I am beginning to feel sometimes gut stomach feeling of something is not quite right in our relationship.

I have introduced two classes this year in my introductory course on management and leadership for our master's students at the Kennedy School. They pertain to the challenges of managing teams that are from several countries and native languages, and that work in virtual (dispersed) settings rather than face-to-face.
In one class, we do a computer-based simulation, using real-time chat, of a dispersed team trying to communicate with each other in English when some members of the team have English as a native language and others don't. In the other class, we discuss a situation where a four-nation 24-7 IT support team for multinational corporations has run into problems of inter-country hostility and finger-pointing about problems.
In connection with the second class, I did a class poll, and the results were, to me, really amazing.
I asked the students – most of them in their mid-20s and about 30 percent non-US – about their experiences at jobs before they came to Harvard (not at school) how many of them had themselves been in groups or teams that were in some or all ways like the ones we were discussing in class. Specifically, I asked them whether they had been in groups with different native languages (whether or not at the same location). Then I asked them whether they had been in virtual groups working from different locations (even inside the same country or same native language). Finally I asked them whether they had been in groups that were both multi-language and also virtual.
The answers I think will amaze anyone over 50, maybe even anyone over 30.
Of my students, a full 79 percent had worked in groups with different native languages. Seventy-three percent had worked in virtual groups. And 54 percent had worked in groups that were both virtual and also composed of people with different native languages.
I told my students that if I had asked my class this same question 30 years ago – maybe even 15 years ago – hardly a single student would have answered yes.
I am certain most people older than my students have no idea just how fast the world is globalizing for bright young people today. In some sense, this reminds me of the post-presidential election discussions about how America is changing.
This internationalization has implications for our future as a country – by and large, I think, good ones. But it also has implications for those who are going to be employing today's 20-somethings. Actually, for parts of the government – State, USAID, Defense, the intelligence community – this may be good news. But federal managers ought to be thinking about this. Any reactions or ideas from federal managers?

What a joke. This is not a valid survey. How many students were in the class? Also, you are teaching a VERY elite group! Students at the Kennedy School in a master's program?! Gimme a break.

Even though I am 66 yrs old I have experience from a company running 365/24/7 with the help of an office on the other side of the globe. Being Swedish myself, I negotiated with people who also had English as their second language. The language was less of a problem than the cultural differences and the company policy of compartmentalizing information. It would have been easier to communicate electronically if the information had been more open, and dramatically better if we had ever had an opportunity to meet in person.
I think digital management is extremely difficult , especially with people you don't know personally, and who are prone to misinterpret information due to poor knowledge of colloquial language and cultural differences.

Tuesday, Feb. 19, 2013
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- The House budget-writing committee has advanced a bill shifting money collected from the state sales tax on cars to road and bridge repair.
The measure sent to the floor Tuesday would eventually transfer more than $80 million yearly from the general fund to the Department of Transportation. The transfer would be phased in over two years, meaning $41 million would go toward fixing roads in the coming year.
The money comes from the state sales tax on vehicles, which is capped at $300.
Orangeburg Rep. Gilda Cobb-Hunter voted against the idea, saying she wants money for infrastructure, but not by taking money from other needs.
The transportation department says it needs an additional $1.5 billion over the next 20 years just to bring roads into good condition.

Sah has filed complain over the priest Ramtapeshwor Das Sah as an offender and one of the culprit is under police control.
FNJ condemns such attacks on the media persons by different groups. Attacks on media person have increased and government is failed to provide security to them. The trend of attack on journalists in recent days shows that the personal security of journalists is in most danger. For this reason, FNJ urges government to be more serious on the security of media person and take the strong action to the culprit.

Mieka Harris Education Manager: Citi Money Gallery, British Museum
A classic children's story? A fairytale? Or an interpretation on the international exchange rate system? In my role as Education Manager for the Citi Money Gallery I teamed up with students from the Children's Hospital School at Great Ormond Street Hospital to explore concepts raised in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
This year marks the 75th anniversary of the Wizard of Oz film (MGM, 1939) and the creation of those iconic shoes, worn by Judy Garland as Dorothy. But what colour were Dorothy's shoes originally? In L Frank Baum's book, originally published in 1900, they were not ruby red, but silver. Therefore some economists, politicians and historians believe that the story is actually a monetary allegory, outlining a proposed move from the gold standard to a bimetallic standard known as the 'Free Silver Movement' led by William Jennings Bryan in the US in 1896. For this reason, a copy of the book has a place in the Citi Money Gallery, alongside other objects and artefacts that depict the history of money.
Fixing the dollar against gold, creating a 'universal' currency, initially had a positive effect on economies; a lack of fluctuating currencies reduced profit risks and so increased trade. However, the Malthusian trap becomes apparent with any natural reserve, with the mining rate unable to match the growth in trade. At the time, America was in a period of depression and the populist belief suggested that a bimetallic standard would enable the money stock to be increased. So, Dorothy's silver shoes walking on a gold road could represent the two metals working together to provide a route towards a stable economy.
Like with many things, as soon as something is pointed out, other potential double meanings become apparent. Is the land called 'Oz' because this is an abbreviation of ounces, the standard measure for gold? Did farmers (the Scarecrow) need more business sense (a brain) to help them survive during a period of economic instability? Is the all-powerful Wizard really the President, who hides behind a smoke-screen of promises but in fact has very little actual power? Do the different locations of the four witches represent the geographical divides in America? Did advances in industry create automated production lines which reduced the workforce (or created workers with no heart)? The students at the Children's Hospital School set out to examine some of these concepts, and others.
Students shared their perceptions of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, identifying key elements in the story. To put the book into context as a potential monetary allegory, students explored the history of money and some key economic concepts by handling objects from the Museum's collection. A week of activities then followed, based on themes in the book and ideas generated by the students.
In maths, students considered Dorothy's shoes and the fact that they fit her and so they investigated what information can be gleaned about a person by knowing their shoe size. The shoe theme was carried into art, with students creating shoes using a variety of media.
Science lessons saw students investigating the melting power of water; with jellies being created in the shape of witches! The concept of the tin man having a heart was also explored, considering that if he had a heart, what other organs would he need and where would they all be placed.
Descriptive language used in the book and a character analysis of the Good Witch of the North and the Wicked Witch of the West were analysed during English, resulting in students creating job descriptions or personal statements applying these roles. Ben Alsop, curator of the Citi Money Gallery, supported this session and applied for the role of the Good Witch of the North, but unfortunately was deemed an unsuccessful applicant by the students based on his responses to the questions!
The values identified for these roles were further discussed in Citizenship. Money does not exist in Oz, so the children discussed this as well, creating a currency for Oz using ideas from the earlier session on the history of money.
The variety of activities and resources available to the students, combined with the commitment of the teachers at the Children's Hospital School, made for a very enjoyable week. Learning was put into a different context, perceptions were challenged and concepts were investigated. Whether the story is a monetary allegory remained unresolved by the students, but the skills to question what we see and read were developed. Did the water have to be a certain temperature to melt the Wicked Witch? Can shoes change sizes? Could a heart function on its own without other organs? All very good questions, but the ultimate question in taking a view as to whether The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a children's story or a monetary allegory surely has to be, 'What colour were Dorothy's shoes?'.
The work produced by the students at The Children's Hospital School will be on display in the Clore Centre for Education in the British Museum from 11 December 2014 until 22 January 2015.
The Citi Money Gallery (Room 68) is on the Upper floor, admission free.

Hello! My name is Janay Alston and I am the new Pathway for Success Academic Advisor and I look forward to serving you! Currently, I'm one of two Advisors for the Pathway for Success program in the Academic Advising & Exploration Center at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. I completed my undergraduate degree at UW-Whitewater in 2009 and my Master's degree at The Ohio State University in 2010. My educational background includes, but is not limited to Clinical Social Work and Psychology. I had a great opportunity to counsel high school students following graduate school and now advising college students, consequently I've not found many differences. For the past two years I have enjoyed working with both traditional and non-traditional students, providing intrusive and developmental advising in addition to academic and personal support. The Pathway for Success program provides additional academic support some students may need to ensure academic success during the critical first year of college. In my spare time, when I can find it, I enjoy hanging out with my family and at church- there is where I find peace! Peace & Blessings :)

I'm Milliam Lor, the Southeast Asian Support Services graduate coordinator. I am currently a first year graduate student in the MBA program. I graduated in the Spring of 2014 with my B.A. in International Studies and a minor in Japanese. A passion of mine is traveling. During my undergraduate career, I studied abroad in Italy and Japan and got the opportunity to explore South Korea, Switzerland, Germany, Vietnam, and Cambodia. Throughout these experiences, I earned more than just credits for my B.A.; I made long-lasting friendships and opened up the door to endless opportunities for my future career path. Traveling and studying abroad taught me to be more open-minded and gave me a chance to give back to the world. I was given the opportunity to be an English teacher in Japan at a summer camp. For a summer and a semester, I was an English teacher in Nagasaki, Japan. I can't express how much that experience has changed my perspective and I would like to share my experiences with students. My part in this is to help students with their academic issues, be a support and resource for them, and also to relay information that could help ease academic and financial stress. In the future, I would like to go abroad and teach English or work with a company that emphasizes global relations.

I started at UW-Whitewater as a student majoring in psychology where I had countless rewarding educational and leadership experiences. Shortly after graduation I began working on campus full time with various offices including: Latino Student Programs, College of Business & Economics, Student Support Services, Academic Standards, Residence Life, and now, PreCollege Programs. During this time I also received my Master of Science degree in Curriculum & Instruction - Higher Education. While growing up, I was very lucky to have parents supportive of my education, but as a first generation student, I couldn't always turn to them for the help I needed navigating through college. There were many staff members at UW-Whitewater that showed me the ropes and assisted me in the rough patches. I still turn to these staff members for professional guidance and appreciate the generosity of their time and caring. I sincerely hope we can be that support system for you as you explore the world that opens up through education.

I was the creative coordinator for T.i.F.U Cultural Ensemble, in which I was the first to serve in that position. Also I served as Vice President and Treasurer for my sorority Delta Sigma Theta. Through each of those organizations a great deal of networking came along, which ultimately lead me to PreCollege Programs. I have been working for PreCollege since 2006, as a Tutor counselor, office assistant, and Lead coordinator/ program coordinator. There is not a greater honor than it is to work with students. I look forward to assisting and working with them every year.

The Swedish finance minister, Anders Borg, promised SKr1500 billion ($202 billion) in loan guarantees to Swedish banks yesterday, but the country's markets remained sluggish today.
Borg said the Swedish government would guarantee up to SKr1500 billion of banks' medium-term debt in exchange for a fee, to be set at "a level between the current market price and an estimated price under normal market conditions".
Banks will need at least 6% of tier one capital to qualify for the scheme, which will run until the end of April - but may be extended to the end of 2009. The scheme will cover bonds and other non-subordinated debt with a maturity of between 90 days and five years.
The ministry will also set up a "stabilisation fund" with SKr15 billion of government money, to be topped up by fees from all credit institutions once the market stabilises. The fund will be used to ward off insolvency at systemically important banks by buying voting preference shares or other instruments, in exchange for the banks agreeing to limit executive compensation and bonuses.
The Swedish National Debt Office, which already runs the Swedish deposit insurance scheme, will administer the guarantees and the stabilisation fund. If approved by the Swedish parliament, the support plan should come into effect next week, the ministry said.
The OMX Nordic 40 index of Scandinavian shares fell slightly today, down 0.25% to 717.99 - although Swedish financials rose 0.5% to 92.16.
Sweden joins the other advanced economies in announcing a generous package of guarantees and investment to shore up its banking industry - the US, Europe, the UK, Canada, Japan, Korea, Switzerland and Australia have all intervened to various extents.

Transcript: Mission diversification
July 08, 2010
Narrator: As an investor, you hear all the time about the importance of diversification. So what makes it such a big deal?
Start by imagining your portfolio had just one stock—represented by the red ball. With stock in only one company, you're likely to experience big bounces both up and down.
If the company's sales forecast is better than expected, its stock may zoom higher. But if there's a setback, the stock can plunge.
If you diversify by adding more stocks, their individual ups and downs can help balance each other out so that you don't have such sharp ricochets. And if you go further with diversification by adding an investment that's less volatile you can smooth things out even more.
Here, the blue balls represent bonds, which historically have been less prone to big swings in value than stocks. So diversification is important because it can help you manage the risk that goes along with investing in stocks and bonds.
Diversification won't eliminate your risk of loss or guarantee a profit in a declining market. But it can reduce the chance you'll suffer disproportionate losses if one particular investment or sector falls sharply. And owning a broadly diversified portfolio gives you exposure to whatever the strongest performing sectors are at a given time.
How do you know what's the right level of diversification for you? A good way to get started on an answer is to consider long-term returns for different blends of stocks and bonds.
Here's an example of how a 50/50 mix of stocks and bonds, represented by broad averages, performed from 1926 to 2009. Over time, stocks have had higher average annual returns than bonds. In certain years, though, stocks have had far steeper losses than bonds.
To see how different asset mixes have performed in the past, you can adjust the percentage of stocks and bonds by moving the slider on the left.
- Annual stock market returns are calculated using the Standard & Poor's 500 Index from 1926 through 1970, the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Index from 1971 through April 22, 2005, and the MSCI US Broad Market Index thereafter.
- Annual bond market returns are calculated using the Standard & Poor's High Grade Corporate Index from 1926 through 1968, the Citigroup High Grade Index from 1969 through 1972, the Lehman Brothers U.S. Long Credit AA Index from 1973 through 1975, and the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index thereafter.
- All investments are subject to risk.
- Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss in a declining market.
- Investments in bonds and bond funds are subject to interest rate, credit, and inflation risk.
- Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
- The performance of an index is not an exact representation of any particular investment, as you cannot invest directly in an index.

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
Exceedingly disappointed with this game. Found the storyline interesting (save for the abysmal last chapters), but mission constraints far too narrow. I spent far more time than I should have restarting missions because I failed some arbitrary restriction. Numerous small issues that should have been easily fixed lead to a frustrating play through. The only time I started to genuinely enjoy myself was when I took a break from the missions to explore the frontier and collect all the feathers.

I am the girl that doesn't go to school dances, or games, and when I do go, I sit in a corner and read a book. I am the girl that people look through when I say something. I am the girl that spends most of her free time reading, writing, or doing other activities that most teenagers wouldn't call normal. I am the girl that people call weird and a freak either behind my back or to my face. I am the girl that doesn't spend all her time on MySpace, or talking to a girlfriend on a cellphone or regular phone. I am the girl that hasn't been asked out in a year. I am the girl that has stopped to smell the flowers and jump and splash in the rain. BUT I am also the girl who knows and is proud to be who she is, doesn't care if people call her weird (it's a compliment),who loves reading and writing and doing the things that no one seems to have the time to do any more, who can express herself better with words than actions, who doesn't need a guy to complete her, and knows the importance of the little things. Copy and paste this onto your account, if you are anything like me, so the girls who are different and unique can know in their weakest time that they are unique but not alone.

Choux Pastry
|1⁄4 Pint (150 Milliliter)
|2 Ounce (50 Gram)
|Strong plain flour
|2 1⁄2 Ounce, sifted (65 Gram)
|2 , beaten
1. Put the water and butter in a pan over a low heat until the butter has melted, then increase the heat until the water boils and rises in the pan.
2. Immediately add the flour and beat well over the heat until the mixture leaves the side of the pan and forms a ball. Remove from the heat and leave to cool for a few minutes.
3. Beat in the eggs, a little at a time. Beat each addition of egg in well until the mixture regains its original stiff consistency. An electric mixer can be used at this stage but if an aluminium pan is used, it is essential to transfer the mixture to a bowl before adding the eggs because the action of the beaters on the saucepan could discolour the mixture.
4. Use as required. If baked, the choux pastry should be cooked in a preheated hot oven for the first 10 minutes so that it rises rapidly. The oven temperature is then reduced for the remainder of the time.
