Poll: Who's your favorite main character so far in Team Eviolite? Vote Now!
Author has written 6 stories for Pokémon.
Info about myself:
Name: Austin
Gender Male
Age: 18
This picture: The Team! XD
Status: Ok guys, so right now my main focus has been my Team Eviolite series, so as you might have noticed, my other stories haven't been touched as much as a result. To make sure that I don't abandon these stories, I am making writing seasons for them, in which they will have priority as well. To start it off, season 2 of Imagine will start in December. I hope you like what I have planned. As usual, Team Eviolite will remain a priority year-round. Thank you all for reading. :)
Congratulations, you have come across my profile. I am a HUGE Pokémon fan, in fact it's all I write about, and I enjoy sharing my own take on the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Series with people. Now here's the deal, you may notice that I added something strange in between the paragraphs of my earlier works. Lol. It might come in the form of an "OoO". Well don't worry, I'm not crazy. O_O' I just had a bad typing program that didn't exactly agree with this site's publisher. I have since gotten around that with the help of Microsoft Word and a new laptop and will be getting rid of that annoying marker in the near future. Anyway, as I said before, I write Pokemon based stories. I love to make up characters, and I sure do have plenty of them. I have no problem with character development or handling all of them, so if you want to send in an OC, go ahead. I shall welcome your character(s) with open arms. My favorite category to write is romance. Just ask anybody. Lol. I should also say that I reply to all of my reviews and PMs so collect your thoughts on my stories/writing and send them to me. I enjoy feedback. I hope you like what I have to present. :) (Niceness shall be commended in constructive criticism! XD)

Character Bios:
Name: Austin
Gender: Male
Species: Pikachu
Age: 18
Birthday: November 2nd, 1996
Love interest: Ally
Other: Blue Eyes, Photographic memory, Used to be human
A semi-hyperactive and passionate pikachu with a partially unstable temper when it comes to things he deems wrong. A little quick to jump on things, his sometimes hasty nature can make things complicated at times but his unwavering leadership skills help to keep a team together. His unique level of compassion and empathy for others gives him quite the ability to make friends.
Name: Ally
Gender: Female
Species: Eevee
Age: 18
Birthday: January 1st, 1996. 12:00am.
Love interest: Austin
Other: Emerald green eyes, Eve's identical twin
A light hearted, sensitive eevee whose friendly and loving attitude gives her a sweet and motherly outlook. She's easily upset, making her very prone to tears, but having friends to depend on helps keep her positive spirit in check. She can be humorous at times, and her overall diverse personality makes her special.
Name: Alex
Gender: Male
Species: Snivy
Age: 18
Birthday: November 25th, 1996.
Love interest: Eve
Other: Ocean blue eyes, Eidetic memory, Used to be human.
An observant, deductive and very intelligent snivy. These traits along with his eidetic memory and ability to think quickly give him an astounding IQ of 300. He's incredibly compassionate and protective. When it comes to friends he'd do anything to protect them, even at the cost of his own life. He's very receptive of the feelings of others, making him quite the person to go to when troubled. His skills with the sword and bow are un-matched by all.
Name: Eve
Species: Eevee
Age: 18
Birthday: December 31st, 1995. 11:58pm.
Love interest: Alex
Other: Pink eyes, Ally's identical twin
A sassy, timid and slightly mischievous eevee who's attitude can sometimes change in a flash. Less mature than her sister, she's often found to be quite flirtatious and manipulative around those who she likes, yet her fear of thunderstorms and the dark makes her very vulnerable at times. She loves to be surrounded by friends and family, in fact her worst fear is being alone. To those who know her best, she is very girly and cannot resist a bow to add to her collection when she sees it. She has never lost the preserved graceadia flower that her mother tied next to her ear when she was born.
Team Eviolite Series: 5 Books Planned.
1. Book One: The Meteor: (complete) 19 Chapters.
When I woke up in a forest as a Pikachu, I had no idea what I had been thrown into, from falling in love with an Eevee to the world falling apart beneath my feet. Just the usual life of a Pokemon right? My quest has just begun, and although being a rescuer and facing off against clearly delusional foes is fun, the world is in danger, and I intend on saving it. This is my life. -A.
2. Book Two: Time Shocked: (in progress) Next Chapter: Ch.12
Most everything in my life was normal up until I met Alex. Now I'm in an exploration team of my own, exploring the very depths of the dungeons I used to be so scared of. Now, I've found myself sucked into another crisis that has stricken the world, a crisis that could possibly destroy time. On top of that, I find out that an evil force is after me and my sister Ally...Great. -E
3. Book Three: A Nightmare's Tune:
Hopes and Dreams for the future. Are such things even possible when one is locked within the grasps of a nightmare? After stopping the destruction of time, I thought it was over. Man was I wrong! Dreams can be both helpful and destructive, but then again, who knows that better than the creator of it's tune? -A
4. Book Four: Rise of the Bitter Cold:
These days, I feel it's safe to say that my life will always be full of mysteries. After playing a supporting role in all of the conflicts so far, being the hero is a relief. Right? Wrong. Now the very existence of my world is in the paws of my partner and I. Great, of all the disasters I had to get stuck with, it had to be this one! Trust is one of the simplest yet eluded chances of hope there is. -C
5. Book Five: Next Generation: (No summary as of now due to spoilers)
Concept: The daughter of Austin and Ally and the son of Alex and Eve form a team along with a surprising third.
Eve's Adventures: (in progress) Next Chapter: Ch.2/possible prologue (possible spoilers)
Have you ever once dreamed of traveling the world and experiencing everything it has to offer? Ever since I was a little kid, this very dream has inspired me to grow stronger and push back fear in order to discover the secrets of the land. Now, at the age of 21, I'm finally ready to take charge of that dream and head out on an adventure! I will be the world's greatest explorer! -E
PMD: The Pendant of Memories: (Collab/in development)
Concept: Zara, a kind, semi-naïve eevee and the subject of teasing and ridicule meets Ren, a silent, level headed vulpix with a talent for art. Ren, who suffers from depression after the death of his mother, finds comfort in Zara, who finds the same in him after he stands up for her. A pendant soon arrives in a letter to Zara's house from an unknown source. The pendant is revealed to have been worn by Ren's mother, and the obscure writing in the letter sparks an adventure to solve the mystery that hides within it.
PMD: Sunrise Exploration: (Skynica Dryhern)
My planned continuation of a story created by one of my favorite writers, Skynica Dryhern. Based on explorers of sky.
How I Found You: (Collab/in progress) Next Chapter: Ch.3
Freedom... Such a simple word, yet it brings great joy and peace to those within it's grasp. Those who have it drift along, happily enjoying life, completely unaware of how difficult it is to maintain. For a word, I suppose you could think of letters and a writer. My kingdom is such a writer, in a way, and freedom is the word...at least for those outside of the walls... -V
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: An Eternal Soul: (Collab/on hiatus) Next Chapter: Ch.2
The Eternal Continent, reveled in legend, was once peaceful and prosperous...or so they say. Through legend it is told that it's protector was sealed away after a disaster and prevented from leaving, projecting a curse upon its lands. Can such a legend be true? I am affraid that those dear to me and their friends will soon find out... -G
Imagine: (in progress) Next Chapter: Ch.4
My name is Dream and I'm a snivy. Why is it that I'm called Dream you ask? Well you see, I'm a bit different. I can, well, I can basically do or create anything I can imagine. It's complicated, and I haven't quite learned to use the full extent of my powers, but I know I was given them for a reason. And with the help of my friend Serena, I might just find out what that reason is. -D
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Eviolite Extra: Transwa's Past! (Being rewritten)
Team Hydrofire was once a legendary team before a tragic event took the leader's life. Transwa looks back on the day the team was disband, and his own past. A Pokemon Mystery Dungeon one shot. Idea was pitched by Xatu Ghost Shipper.

Good Morning, Gary,
Mostly it's a film loading issue; once the film is on a SS reel, it doesn't really matter what brand the reel is. I don't know if Hewes makes any tanks or not, but it doesn't matter because almost all standard SS reels can be used in a tank of any manufacturer. The obvious exception would be the larger SS reels made for 220 film.

2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser • 74,000 miles
My car is well maintained. Got a brand new battery in October. Several weeks ago my interior lights (odometer, radio clock, etc, ) and then the headlights were flickering a bit. Took it to dealer. They said it was a battery cable issue and they fixed it for $500. Two weeks latter car stalled out at Target parking lot, on it way out, the radio switched to CD and started flipping though the cd changer, and all the warning lights came on. Waited a bit, it started again, had it towed to dealer, who said it was a battery issue. They said the battery took 45 min. To charge. Took it back to Sears next day, Sears said battery was fine. Today it stalled three times exactly as it did last week (switching from radio to CD and changing CDs as it dies all lightscoming on) It started again enough to hobble back to Sears. They are checking it right now.

Have the alternator tested and look at the under-hood fuse box. There are nuts that work loose that attach the smaller positive battery cable and possibly the large alternator fuse. Doesn't sound like a battery problem.

You can't ask for more here from Daniel Madison, it is hard to teach all those moves, but he does it very well. I'm very pleased because there are a lot of incredible moves that not many can do it. You will have to be patient, don't rush it, take it slow if you are a beginner, and once you learn the pattern, all you have to do is practice, practice. Once you master these moves, everyone will remember you for those incredible skills, and all that hard work will pay off. In conclusion all that I can say is buy it it's well worth it. Thanks DM for sharing this!
As with everything in cardistry, these moves are something you have to practice. Do not sit down and watch the whole thing at once. Consider this 13 seperate downloads. Practice each move until you can do it, move on to the next flourish etc. and then perfect them. All of these take time, but they're well worth it in the end. Explanation is good in my opinion.
It you're just getting into cardistry and are looking to buy this, I would not suggest. As experienced with cards as I am. Some of the moves can be very challenging. With that out of the way. The teaching has little talk through, but with all the different angles and how slow Daniel goes in the teachings. I trust with concentration it will pose little or no problem for anyone. The moves are gorgeous, elegant and flowing. It you're looking to make an impression. I would highly suggest this download. Once again a beautiful download by Daniel Madison.

Love the fit.
Nice light-weight warm sock.
Very good hiking sock.
Most comfortable socks
This is my favorite sock and I have worn them for years and they last for years! I wear sneakers most of the time and wearing these socks keeps my feet comfortable all day long.
Awesome hiking socks
These socks are soft but feel durable and the first time I wore them was on a 7+ mile mountain trail. My feet were comfortable all day!
excellent quality
My feet instantly feel the difference. Just enough padding to make them comfy but not bulky.
Soooo comfy !!!
So comfy and keep my feet nice and dry. Plan to buy more.... Great for hiking
I wear them all year round!
Really comfy... and great for hiking/walking.
great hiking socks
Great product for the price. Thick but not too thick cushioned soles, great for hiking. Hasn't worn thin on the heel and no blisters since I started wearing these socks. Also plenty warm on those cool fall mornings. I would definitely buy again, thanks for the sample.
Best socks for hiking.
Very comfortable. These socks are excellent! I hiked the Grand Canyon in them, about 40 miles in 3 days. I had no blisters or even hot spots. I will never wear any other sock for hiking.
Great fit, durable, soft
Very comfortable. Great for hiking.

Re: Geek out Smallville moment!!
maybe ive been at Superdickery to much, but why does Superman never help Jimmy when he gets into these situations?
They should do an issue (yeah I know its not running anymore) where Jimmy gets Clarks powers, and flys off to become Superman refusing to help him change back
Clark: Oh no Jimnmy Olsen and I have body swapped he has my powers and my identity, Lois will never believe what happened. Im alone helpless & trapped in the body of Jimmy Olesn.
Jimmy (flying away): Now you know how it feels Superman, to have your friends turn your back on you when you need their help the most, I will be Superman for ever, and soon Lois will be mine. Oh & that trick you played on me with the Green Arrow, well that was just mean, I now know that you Clark Kent was the Red & Blue blur.
Im Proud of the BBC

Design is at the root of everything we do. To say it's an obsession would not be overstating things. It has transformed our habits and our habitats. Wms & Co. offers everyday objects elevated by design and influenced by history. Each detail is carefully considered without becoming overwrought. These are exquisitely practical tools to enhance daily life. Use them often and they will acquire the rich patina of service. We think they provide an intimate, personalized and deliciously offline experience that can be hard to come by these days. In the words of Paul Rand, the great American graphic designer, "Good design adds value of some kind, gives meaning and, not incidentally, can be sheer pleasure to behold." We second that emotion.
the perfect shape
JP Williams
is there one? i marvel at the beautiful shape of the artist's palette. (a word i always misspell.) my collection consists of about a dozen of these wooden palettes. they must be old and have been used, but maintained. why these shapes? how do they fit to the hand? is the finger hole just right? some are quite large, over 24 inches. i missed out on an ebay offering of an extremely large one. 32 inches. imagine. i can't. i visited an artist's studio this past year and there was no palette. just a sheet of glass with wonderful colors but no palette gaining patina. (another word i love.)
many years ago i had the opportunity to define this word to someone for which the definition had no meaning. my wife and i traveled to asia for our honeymoon. we had the pleasure of visiting the aman resorts. we visited four of these in a two-week trip. we arrived at amanjiwo for our last stop and our breath was taken away. mine surely was. the architecture was amazing. each day at these resorts you could schedule an excursion. one of ours was a visit to the local market. an amazing experience. it was full of '60s vespas, exposed meat and strange smells. i loved it. we walked the market and our guide translated to help us buy large blocks of incense and to bargain for some old weights. the guide assumed we wanted to continue shopping and took us to the closest thing they had to a mall. a large white, prefab building with decorative arts. we looked out the jeep window and said no thanks. i think his feelings were hurt and i tried to explain why we weren't interested. i told him we liked things with patina. he looked blankly at me. he did not understand patina. now i had a task to explain patina.
when we returned to the resort, the guide stopped in a particular place where the resort is framed perfectly. it is magnificent. the stone—a white stone which has oxidized from the air—is amazing. i realized that the brochure has photos of the building right when it was finished, before there was any oxidation. as soon as we got out of the jeep i asked for a brochure. i caught up with our guide who had already said his goodbyes. walking with him up the hill, i showed him the brochure and asked him to look at the building. "patina," i told him. yes. a light went on, he got it. yes, indeed. i was so proud of myself. the next day after a morning hike he offered to take us to a place with patina. a store, that is. sure enough, it is an antique shop of sorts and i found some wonderful 19th-century glass. sadly, i gave one piece away and i broke the other. however i have this memory and hopefully it will never fade.

How desperate is the pro-car crowd to kill Healthy [1] Saturdays [2]? Sources tell us that De Young Museum matriarch Dede Wilsey [3] and other allies talked rookie Assembly member Fiona Ma into writing state legislation that would have required voter approval for creating car-free spaces in San Francisco parks, and that she was talked out of doing so by financier and backer Warren Hellman -- a supporter of Healthy Saturdays -- just before the Feb. 23 deadline for introducing bills. Contacted by the Guardian, Hellman confirmed the basic story, telling us, "We talked and she had an idea of proposing something, but I thought it was unnecessary." He thinks the issue is likely to end up before voters either way, either through a referendum on the passage of Healthy Saturdays or a measure placed on the ballot by four supervisors if it fails. Ma's office refused to comment on whether she pursued legislation to prevent Healthy Saturdays -- which she opposed last year as a member of the Board of Supervisors -- and would say only, "I do not discuss private conversations with constituents in the media."
Saturday closure is an emotion-packed issue for both sides, which may be why Newsom decided to announce his opposition fairly early, just to avoid the acrimony. But that left Sup. Bevan Dufty (who voted against it last year) as the swing vote [4] and someone who admits that his phone has been ringing off the hook lately. But he's pledged to stay engaged and try to do the right thing: "I'm trying to stay refreshingly open on the issue of Healthy Saturdays and consider different viewpoints."

Their music mixed the more experimental elements of British 1970s punk with the raw energy of the 1980s American hardcore punk scene. Dead Kennedys' songs mixed deliberately extreme lyrics with satire, sarcasm, and irony of social and political issues of the 1980s.
In the late 1980s, the band was embroiled in an obscenity trial in the United States over the artwork of their album Frankenchrist (1985), which included the explicit titular subject of H. R. Giger's Penis Landscape. The band was charged with distribution of harmful matter to minors, but the trial ended with a hung jury.
Dead Kennedys released five studio albums before disbanding in 1986. In 2001, the band reformed without original singer Jello Biafra, who had been in a legal dispute with the other members over royalties.
The band played three performances in October 2010. At one of the concerts, they debuted their first new song since 1986, "You're Such a Fake".
Since the dissolution of Dead Kennedys, Biafra has continued to collaborate and record with other artists, including Mojo Nixon, Al Jourgensen of Ministry, and the Melvins, and has become a spoken word performer, covering political topics in particular.

Secrets of Success
There IS A Good Kind of Selfish.

I am a people pleaser.
It's origins lie in not being able to do much right in the eyes of my parents. Had I known then what I know now - They were unhappy people who wouldn't allow anyone else in their lives to be happy - Things might have been different. But they weren't and neither was I . It's the whole spilled milk theory, no?
I had to fill a void and I did it with food. When it fell short of producing a desirable effect, I allowed my panic/anxiety issues to take a firm hold and pressed harder and harder. I got heavier and heavier too.
Along comes Spark People and I was able to lose close to 80 pounds, run 3, 5K's...... I wont bore you. Many of you have been there and done that and more. But ya know what? I didn't do that stuff for me. I did it so people would be pleased with me, accept me, want to be my friend. (If this were a video, a voice from behinds me would say "The definition of insanity.......") I was going to be accepted by the jocks and cool kids here at Spark!!!
In May of 2011 I hurt my back and that's a whole kettle of fish for another time but long after I'd recovered physically there were some pretty deep emotional scars. I was a afraid I'd get hurt again. I didn't want to leave the house because I was afraid of falling down or my left leg going numb. So I sat and got fat again and cloaked it in injury. Inside of me it hurt so badly. Once again I'd failed to please. "What did these people think of me?"
I believe in angels. I have a couple that watch over me on a regular basis and all I can say is that deserve to be more than angels - Saints might fit them better. One morning I hear this voice suggesting that I can just work through the soreness, pain and fear. It's going to be there anyway. While you're at it John, take a look at that pity party you call breakfast, lunch and dinner.
So yes, I'm a bit selfish now. I think I deserve to be and so do you. I think there are times in the day when you need to put a "CLOSED" sign around your neck and invest the time in yourself and your goals. I wrote this blog because a couple comments on yesterdays "Getting Serious" stung me a bit. (I guess I'll always be a people pleaser.) No my ticker doesn't reflect four years of activity. I think it has much more dimension than that. I'm not proud of being overweight but I am proud of what I've learned here, mostly from you guys. Each step in my journey is a step closer to my over all health.
I realize the tone of yesterdays blog wasn't consistent with a lot of my other blogs. It was meant to be written that way.
I am priceless, precious and a true gift from God that He asks me to share. I embrace that. But even Jesus, waved to his disciples every now and then and went off alone. No socializing, preaching or teaching, just Jesus time. I am starting to learn that being selfish with my time can be a good thing. It helps me grow.
We like success stories. They make us feel good. It's when we confront out own weaknesses and failures through the eyes of someone who falls short, that we grow uncomfortable with ourselves. Right now, I'm pleased to be uncomfortable with me.

I have found myself in that trap, wanting to please everybody but then realized that it wasn't doing me any good because I could never please everybody. I should be more concerned about being a G-d pleaser. Doing what He would have me to do. I still care what others think but once I started looking at it that way it got easier.

I don't think that person was trying to be mean or snotty...I think s/he was trying to be helpful by pointing out that the gym is only part of the equation. Sometimes, like in the story of the emperor with no clothes, everyone is busy "loving us up" when what we really need is that one honest voice! Don't take it personally. We learn more from the people who disagree with us than from the ones who think just as we do. Onward and upward!

Good heavens John, I could have written the T-shirt slogans to go with this! So many of us here on Spark have to remind ourselves that we're doing it for US... not to please someone else. Sometimes the US inside screams for attention.
So... scream on, fellow Rebel! Let's do this not for the other but for the SELF. Which is a GOOD thing!

I gave up on trying to please others , it's impossible if they decide that they are not happy no matter the circumstances . but I confess that sometimes I catch myself trying to please the people around. and the more I try the more it doesn't work and the more unsatisfied is that person( this is where I get angry lol). I wish I could see your fluffy company lol ( and mine , of course )

The lessons of loving one's self and taking Me Time can be very hard to learn. Once I finally accepted these as part of my life, I stopped sabotaging myself and I refused to allow others to sabotage me.
In my book, this should be lesson one. I think I figured it out about a year in, which would bring it to about lesson 101 if I remember correctly. Thank God we're never too old to learn!

Absolutely beautifully written! I clicked the "I liked this" button as I really hope this gets featured in the "voted featured blog" area. They changed from popular blog so not sure if our votes count now as I think the featured blogs are those selected by Spark staff. I think I'll go to the Sparkstaff page and ask them to feature this one. I think this blog can help so many as they can relate and I think this will cause a lot of "ah ha" moments and this blog will help people along their journey.
I hope you lose your weight and write a book about your journey. Put this blog in it. With your writing skills and if you keep it real, your book will be a best seller.
Good Luck
edit: Just went to SP_STAFF page and left them a comment about this blog. You can go look if you want.

My story is like yours. I've been here over 5 years, or is it 6? I had already put back on about 20 lbs. I'd lost when I hurt my back and quickly gained another 15. Now it's even more. I have just started to take the time I need for myself in the past few days. It feels good to be back on track. I've said that before so I'm hoping I can stick to it this time!

John, I have been on Sparkpeople for about 7 years. I started at 225 and got down to 200 then at 67 I retired. I went up to 233 in one year. I joined TOPS for a face to face accountability and encouragement and friendship and still dawdled for 2 years. At the end of August a gain of 4.5 lb. in one week blew my mind. Since then I got really serious about losing. The only 2 times I gained 1 lb. was when I did not keep track of what I ate. I was 221.5 then and now I am 203. I was too late to keep the diabetes at bay. I was diagnosed 4 weeks ago. I have to do my exercise dvd every day as well as keep track of my food. Boy, calories ands fats aren't enough any more. I now have to be very serious about carbs. You can do it, John before you end up like me. Diabetes is hard work. Love you and your blogs. Don't be afraid of getting hurt. If you don't try you will never know.

You are "priceless, precious and a true gift from God"...no need to look for acceptance from others...just need to accept yourself, which you are doing. There will always be "advice" or judgment from others, but you know your story and what you need to do.

I buy more from my grocer than he buys from me, and I bet it's the same with you and your grocer. That means we have a trade deficit with our grocers. Does our perpetual grocer trade deficit portend doom? If we heeded some pundits and politicians who are talking about our national trade deficit, we might think so. But do we have a trade deficit in the first place? Let's look at it.
Insofar as the grocer example, there are two accounts that I hold. One is my "goods" account, which consists of groceries. The other is my "capital" account, which consists of money. Let's look at what happens when I purchase groceries. Say I purchase $100 worth of groceries. The value of my goods account rises by $100. That rise is matched by an equal $100 decline in my capital account. Adding a plus $100 to a minus $100 yields a perfect trade balance. That transaction, from my grocer's point of view, results in his goods account falling by $100, but when he accepts my cash, his capital account rises by $100, again a trade balance.
The principle here differs not one iota if my grocer was located in another country as opposed to down the street. There'd still be a trade balance when both the goods account and the capital account are considered. Imbalances in goods accounts are all over the place. For example, my grocer buys more from his wholesaler than his wholesaler buys from him. The wholesaler buys more from the manufacturer than the manufacturer buys from him, but when we put capital accounts into the mix, in each case, trade is balanced.
International trade operates under the identical principle. When we as consumers purchase goods from China, and the Chinese don't purchase a like amount of goods from us, it is said that there's a trade deficit. But instead of purchasing goods, the Chinese might purchase corporate stocks, bonds or U.S. Treasury debt instruments. Just as in my grocer example, there is a balance of trade. The deficit in our nation's goods and services account, sometimes called current account, is matched by a surplus of equal magnitude in our capital account. A large portion of surpluses in our capital account consists of U.S. Treasury debt instruments held by foreigners. As of June 2004, China held nearly $200 billion, Japan over $1 trillion, and Europe combined held over $2 trillion.

(The following press release from Tata Steel Ltd. was received by e-mail. It was not confirmed by the sender.) Pl see the following for our statement.you may attribute it to a company spokesperson. "In our attempts to make roads of TSL Works safer for commuters, the Company has constantly been encouraging workers to use the existing bus service in factory premises. In that process, parking lots have been made near major gates from which contractor workers enter, so that they can park their bicycles, motor cycles etc there and board buses plying within the Works. This initiative has been operating very successfully for more than an year, at one of the gates (JMD gate). The Company has been attempting to gradually implement this at another gate (Auction Yard gate) for the past one week. This initiative was also aimed at making the equipment Stores near the gate more secure from consistent attempts of theft by miscreants. "Today, however, several miscreants tried to enter the Works forcefully at the time of entry of contractors' workers in the morning. They broke the gate and jumped over the boundary walls to enter Works. When confronted, the mob suddenly turned violent, injured 15-20 of our security personnel, damaged cars, burnt Few two wheelers anddamaged Company property inside Works. Pellet firing by our security personnel took place to bring the unruly mob, under control. In the process, five persons, including one photo journalist, were also injured. All of them are presently being treated at Tata Main Hospital (TMH) and they are out of danger. Meanwhile, routine work is on. This activity has not impacted our scheduled activities inside the plant. We are looking into the matter to ascertain the reasons behind this unfortunate event. The Management will take all steps to ensure that such incidences do not take place in future."

Facebook is in the hotseat Monday following a report by the Wall Street Journal that Facebook applications "have been transmitting identifying information--in effect, providing access to people's names and, in some cases, their friends' names--to dozens of advertising and Internet tracking companies."
The privacy breach, which involved the sharing of users' unique Facebook IDs, may have affected tens of millions of Facebook app users and is in violation of Facebook's policies. The apps found to be sharing users' personal information include FarmVille, Texas HoldEm, Mafia Wars, and more. (See them here)
Facebook issue a statement in response to the allegations saying that "press reports have exaggerated the implications of sharing a UID [or Facebook ID]" and noting that "In most cases, developers did not intend to pass this information, but did so because of the technical details of how browsers work."
Although Facebook says it is "committed to addressing" this issue and temporarily disabled some of the apps that were in violation of its policies, there are some privacy settings you should know in order to keep your information secure. See 3 key tips for protecting your privacy in the slideshow below. Got other suggestions? Let us know in the comments below. Read more about the privacy breach here.
With just a few clicks, you can adjust what information from your Facebook account applications can access, as well as control what kind of interaction the apps can have with you. Want to keep an app from posting on your Facebook Wall? Or stop an app from accessing your data even when you're not using the app? Here's how: Log in to Facebook, then go to Account (top right) > Privacy Settings > Applications and Websites (Bottom right) > "Edit Settings" under "Applications You Use" > then click "Edit Settings" to adjust each app. Some information (such as the ability to send you an email, access your basic information, as well as your profile information) may be required, whereas other settings are optional and you can remove the app's ability to contact your or access certain information.
Here's how you can turn off some of your apps completely: Log in to Facebook, then go to Account (top right) > Privacy Settings > "Edit your settings" under "Applications and Websites" (Bottom right). You can either "Remove unwanted or spammy applications" (which allows you to remove apps individually) or "Turn off all platform applications." As All Facebook notes, this option makes it possible for users to "block all forms of app-to-user communication."
In its article on the Facebook privacy breach, the Wall Street Journal reported that apps had been sharing personal information about the users of apps, but also that "three of the top 10 apps, including FarmVille, also have been transmitting personal information about a user's friends to outside companies." To control what information your friends can share about you, go to Account > Privacy Settings > "Edit your settings" under "Applications and Websites" (Bottom right) > "Edit Settings" under "Info accessible through your friends." As Facebook explains, here you can control " which of your information is available to applications, games and websites when your friends use them." Unless you completely turn of Facebook's platform applications, there is some information about you that will be available to friends' applications. This includes, "your name, profile picture, gender, networks and user ID (along with any other information you've set to everyone)," Facebook discloses.

Several local and state officials gathered along the side of Route 54A at the scenic overlook near Esperanza Drive last week to celebrate the completion of the $5.2 million rehabilitation of the state highway.
For several years, area residents had loudly complained about the condition of the road, and state officials responded with a promise to make repairs in 2011.
But when federal funds left over from another highway project in the Southern Tier came available last year, the project's timeline was moved up, and work began in March.
State Sen. George Winner said the project shows how important constituent services are. "We responded to your calls," he told the group of county legislators and Jerusalem officials, adding, "Thank all of you who worked to get it down. You made it a priority."
"The reconstruction of Route 54A has long been one of our region's priority infrastructure improvement projects, and I couldn't be happier to hlep celebrate its completion, said Winner, adding, "Most importantly, it's a well-earned day for the many local residents and local officials who worked long and hard, over many years to stress the urgency of these improvements. Assemblyman (James) Bacalles and I were pleased that New York recognizd the value of keeping local federal stimulus savings at work within our region. It's a great benefit to Yates County residents and motorists, and a solid investment that strengthens tourism and the entire local economy."
Bacalles said, "I am pleased this project has been completed. The governor agreed with Sen. Winner and me that this highway improvement was important and allowed the money to be reallocated from other areas to get it accomplished. This is a great day to cut the ribbon on this project and DOT's Region 6 staf deserves credit for their efforts in making it a reality."

GOME Electrical Appliances Holding Limited Honors Heli Electronics Corp. As Best Strategic Partner Business Wire GUANGZHOU, China -- June 23, 2010 Heli Electronics Corp. (OTCBB:HELI), a marketing, distribution, and after-sales service company of Audio-Visual (AV) products in Mainland China would like to update its investors on one of the awards it has previously received. After Heli's wholly owned subsidiary became the primary marketing, distribution, and after-sales service agency of Haier Electronics AV division, its revenues and net income have gone up significantly in 2009 compared to 2008. One of the reasons for Heli's growth is its relationships with large electronics superstores in Mainland China, such as Suning and GOME. GOME (www.gome.com.hk) has been listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2004, is one of China's largest electrical appliance retailers. As of December 31, 2009, the total store count of GOME reached 726 stores, including 76 flagship stores, 625 standard stores and 25 specialized stores. Its total network spanned across198 cities. The total operating area of the Group's stores amounted to approximately 2,675,000 square metres and the average area of individual stores was approximately 3,685 square metres. In October 2008, at the Guangzhou GOME Electrical Appliance Co., Ltd's sixth anniversary celebration, Heli's wholly owned subsidiary was awarded the honor of Best Strategic Cooperative Partner. Only just months after its inception, the company's ability to create and maintain meaningful cooperations with key retailers was brought to the attention of the electronics industry. Today, GOME is one of the most beneficial partners of Heli, as Heli has established a number of specialty Haier AV display areas within their electronics stores. The award clearly demonstrates the company's rising brand value in the electronics industry in addition to its win-win partnership with one of the country's largest retailers. "Creating partnerships with electronics superstores and large commercial retailers of household appliances and consumer electronics has been one of our key sales strategies and we anticipate that it will allow us to grow into a large marketing agency," comments Mr. Xin Qiu, President of Heli Electronics Corp. Having already established relations with such large retailers as Suning and GOME, is important for Heli to further promote Haier's AV products throughout China. Haier's strong brand name in China is a large factor in Heli's success. Within the next couple of years, Heli will continue to provide marketing solutions to allow Haier AV products to be sold at more stores of the large commercial superstore chain, as well as mid-sized retailers of digital electronics. About Heli Electronics Corp. Heli Electronics Corp. (www.helielectronics.com) is traded under the symbol HELI on the OTCBB exchange and is based in Guangzhou, China. It is the primary marketing, promotion, logistics, and after-sales service agency of audio and visual (AV) products for Haier Group, a world leader in electronics and electrical appliances. Its products include speakers, multimedia stereo systems, and home theatres, among other types of AV products. The company seeks to establish a broad network in China to provide comprehensive after-sales service, brand establishment, brand promotion, distribution, and logistics management of a wide array of electronics and electrical appliances. Backed by Haier's strong brand presence and an abundance of sales channels throughout Mainland China, HELI has grown immensely since its inception in March 2008.
