Speaking at a Labour Party conference fringe meeting, she said there was an "80% chance", suggesting 25 October, 1 or 8 November as possible dates.
Mrs Follett is the first minister to speak so explicitly about the chances of a snap poll and its timing.
Skills Secretary John Denham has said opinion polls predicting election gains were "exciting" to see.
Meanwhile, Ed Balls, schools secretary and aide to Prime Minister Gordon Brown questioned whether the greater gamble would be to wait before having a snap poll.
Senior figures are suggesting a snap poll is now more rather than less likely and Mr Brown has again urged Tory supporters and members to join him.
Mrs Follett told a conference fringe meeting: "When I came here I thought there would be a 40% chance - I now think there's an 80% chance.
"It's about having a mandate, having a fresh start, whether its 25 October, 1 November or 8 November," she said.
Cameron criticism
The fresh bout of speculation came after a series of events pushed the issue back up the agenda at the Bournemouth conference.
Former Tory chairman Lord Tebbit delivered fresh criticisms of David Cameron's leadership, saying the public thought the Old Etonian was out of touch and had "no experience of the world whatsoever".
And Shadow Chancellor George Osborne said the British public did not yet know what the Tories stand for, adding that the party had to have a "clear party message" by the end of their conference next week.
But Conservative sources have said the party is ready and waiting to fight a snap election, with candidates selected in their top 200 target seats.
At the Labour Party conference, the prime minister used a question and answer session with delegates to urge members of all political parties to join him in his attempt to transform Britain.
It all came against the background of continuing good poll showings for Mr Brown, who is thought to have had a successful conference week.
The conference will draw to a close on Thursday with speeches from Justice Secretary Jack Straw and Home Secretary Jacqui Smith.
The traditional end-of-conference send-off will be delivered by deputy leader Harriet Harman.

A long wait high above Luna Park
Page Tools
Six people, including children, were stranded at the top of Luna
Park's Mad Mouse ride for almost three hours yesterday.

Five children and one adult were yesterday stranded at the top of a rollercoaster ride, high above Luna Park in St Kilda, for almost three hours after their carriage derailed just before 2pm.
There was no attempt by the Luna Park management to rescue the stranded passengers from the top of the Mad Mouse structure, 15 metres above the amusement park, until a concerned parent rang the fire brigade at 4pm.
Metropolitan Fire Brigade spokesman Norm Henderson said it took a cherry picker crew until 5pm to bring down the last of the startled thrillseekers. No one was injured.
"It would appear that one of the cars had suffered some sort of mechanical failure," Mr Henderson said.
An anxious parent, Michael Rae, lost patience with park officials and rang the fire brigade, because all he could do was yell to his daughter, Jamie.
"I waited for an hour and a half for these blokes to do anything, and in the end, I rang the fire brigade myself. I'm not real flash with the situation," Mr Rae said.
His daughter certainly thought help was too long in coming. "Yeah, . . . I didn't think it was very good," she said.
Another child, Liam Rowe, admitted to being "a little bit" scared.
"I was a bit nervous at stages," he said.
Fire brigade commander Wayne Garrard expressed concern at the failure of Luna Park management to call in outside help. "It was certainly a long time to wait for emergency services to be called," Mr Garrard said.
WorkSafe spokesman Michael Birt said inspectors were last night at the scene to examine the ride.
He said they would also be asking ride operators about their public safety systems and maintenance procedures.
Luna Park operations manager Simon Mudgway was last night in a meeting and unavailable for comment.

In preparation for my favourite films of 2009 list, which will be in the next few weeks, I thought I would take look at the pictures that annoyed me the most this year.
10) Observe and Report – I liked it better when it was called Taxi Driver. Sadly this is not the only mall related film to make this esteemed list.
9) Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen – Robot Heaven, jive talking cars, a female terminator…did I mention robot heaven?
8) The Limits of Control – I really love Jarmusch's other works, which is why this film was such a big disappointment for me.
7) Drag Me To Hell – Look, I enjoy Sam Rami's horror classics as much as the next guy. Heck, I even went to see the Evil Dead Musical when it came to town. Yet trying to recapture that campy low budget feel through a big budget production just does not work.
6) 12 Rounds – This made Walking Tall look like Shakespeare…Walking Tall!!! Aidan Gillen goes from the sensation series, The Wire, to this? Gillen deserves better, Hollywood.
5) Push – As a comic book, video game, or a television series the premise is great. As a movie, on the other hand, this is an unsalvageable mess. Push way too much stuff into this film.
4) My Bloody Valentine 3D – Thanks, Avatar. Now certain movies will not just be awful…they will be awful in three dimensions.
3) X-Men Origins: Wolverine – X2 was great. X-men: Last Stand was awful. Which one would you assume Hollywood would follow?…yep, they fooled me as well. To prolong the pain even further, Deadpool is getting his own spinoff.
2) Bride Wars – Number 2 by a hair…or bridal tiara. This film was offensive beyond belief and single handedly set feminism back a few centuries…and this is coming for a male. Worst of all, Hathaway goes from being on my best of 2008 list, for Rachel Getting Married, to the worst of 2009 list. Hudson can take solace in the fact that she has now made my worst list two years running.
1) Paul Blart: Mall Cop – What is with Hollywood's obsession with mall security guards? Is this really the last sect of the population whose stories have yet to be told? It was a close call for the number one spot but Paul came out on top.
Runners-Up: He's Just Not That Into You, The Box, Race to Witch Mountain, A Christmas Carol 3D

Worst Films of 2009

@Castor – I found Drag Me to Hell tried too hard to get the best of both worlds. It wanted to be campy humor half of the time and serious horror for the other half. The overall tone was so uneven that neither side work well.ReplyDelete
As for Observe and Report, I think the key word that applies to both of your choices is "horrendous".

With players gearing up for the NBA season to kick off next month, many might be looking to get in some extra time at the gym before having to report to training camps in a few weeks.
Former San Antonio Spurs guard Roger Mason, Jr. has helped put together a mini-training camp in the Washington D.C. area in an effort to help players be ready for the season and "Money Mase" has invited Spurs' Gary Neal along with several other players.
Mason has invited several players, including current Wizards John Wall, Andray Blatche and Hamady Ndiaye, former Wizards Brendan Haywood and Jared Jeffries, and Baltimore natives Josh Selby of the Memphis Grizzlies and Gary Neal of the San Antonio Spurs.
Let's face it, it's going to be a hectic time in the NBA as teams rush to get prepared while front offices deal with free-agency. Any extra time in the gym for Neal to be ready to hit the court running once the Spurs' training camp opens is only going to help himself and the team.
As Manu Ginobili recently said, the shortened season is going to be a grind. And with teams having to deal with back-to-back-to-back games, a few extra sprints down the court now can only help Neal later.

Why Did NBC Drop The NBA?
(You can find the answer at the end of the article.)
With ABC and ESPN picking up the torch from NBC for the rights to broadcast NBA games, analysts are asking whether the Peacock Network made the right decision by letting the NBA go. For most of the playoffs, the decision seemed to have been ill-timed, after all, the playoff ratings were up 14% from last year up to the Finals.
no nbc attackIn the Finals, the dominant Los Angeles Lakers took care of the New Jersey Nets in four matches. When the dust settled over Shaq's 7'1" frame, the ratings were down 19% from the previous clash in the Finals between the Lakers and the Philadelphia 76ers.
Some people believe that the ratings were low because of the Lakers' dominance. Not so — that is a cop-out. Speaking of the NBA, the last time Michael Jordan was hoisting the Championship, 29 million viewers tuned in to watch Michael's dominance . And speaking of dominance, Tiger Woods dominated the 2002 US Open but that did not impede NBC's ratings, which jumped to a record 9.3 rating/21 share for its final-round coverage of Woods' US Open victory, marking the highest overnight rating for a US Open since Nielsen Media Research began tracking those figures in 1975.
So, were the NBA Finals' ratings down because the game is no longer fantastic or was there some other issue at play?
soccer scoredAllow me to leave the world of the hard wood floor and move to the grassy pitches and sweaty rings that make up the rest of the world. If you haven't yet noticed, there is a little tournament going on halfway around the world. The World Cup is delivering some of the best games ever and despite the odd hours for North Americans, ratings suggest that interest is high: the US's tie against host South Korea scored a 1.62 cable rating and was seen in an average of 1.36 million households, setting a record for the sport on ESPN 2. Given the 2:30am EST start time, this would signal that interest is alive and well.
Back in 1998, games played in France were broadcast in the morning and afternoon but only averaged 670,000 households on ESPN and 292,000 households on ESPN2. This is great news for football in America.

Tens of thousands march for same-sex marriage in Taiwan
By Michael Gold
TAIPEI (Reuters) - Tens of thousands of demonstrators, many displaying rainbows and glitter, thronged the center of Taiwan's capital on Saturday to press demands to legalize same-sex marriage amid an increasingly tolerant environment on the island nation.
Organizers and participants said they were heartened by the prospect of same-sex marriage becoming a reality, despite enduring traditional attitudes among many residents.
Taiwan's legislature on Friday began a review of a gay marriage bill, which has the support of 53 percent of the public, according to a recent opinion poll, though acceptance of a gay family member remains low.
"Chinese families are still very traditional," said Jennifer Lu of the counseling group Taiwan Tongzhi Hotline Association and one of the hosts on the center stage. "People still emphasize having an heir and passing on the family name."
On a cool autumn day, the 11th annual parade was marked by colorful costumes, plenty of exposed skin, musical performances and vendors lining the route to and from the city hall.
Spokeswoman Meico Tsai praised the liberal attitudes that have put Taiwan far ahead of its neighbors in terms of tolerance of gays. "Compared to other Asian countries, we're more open, but we still have a long way to go," she said.
Sexual-orientation education is a part of the primary school curriculum and LGBT individuals enjoy legal protection from hiring discrimination and other forms of prejudice.
"Korea is much more conservative," said South Korean national Carmen Yoon, a first-time attendee. "I hope Taiwan will legalize gay marriage and we can follow their example." Continued...

While at one time hundreds of thousands of Atlantic salmon made their epic migration from the oceans of Greenland to their natal rivers in New England, now these powerful creatures can be seen only occasionally in the wild. Depleted by a combination of historical overfishing, pollution, dams, and poor marine survival, this once-prominent salmon population is severely reduced. Now we must rely on fish hatcheries to provide enough young for the species to survive.
Historically in North America, Atlantic salmon once stretched from Ungava Bay, Canada, to the rivers of Long Island Sound, but now the only remaining wild U.S. populations swim in Maine rivers.
The wild Atlantic salmon found in some parts of Maine are listed as endangered, while Atlantic salmon found in other parts of Maine and other states are not listed as endangered. Species recovery is the goal for the salmon listed as endangered, and restoration is the goal for non-listed salmon. More (PDF 222KB)
Atlantic salmon recovery in Maine
To recover salmon protected by the Endangered Species Act in Maine rivers and streams, we work closely with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration - Fisheries and with the State of Maine as well as with many partner organizations. Salmon swimming in these Maine watersheds are ESA-protected: the Dennys, East Machias, Machias, Pleasant, Narraguagus, Ducktrap, Sheepscot, Penobscot, Kennebec, and Androscoggin rivers, and Cove Brook.

Recreational fishing for salmon
Although fishing for sea-run Atlantic salmon is prohibited by state law in most New England states and by federal law in Maine, surplus adult Atlantic salmon are stocked for recreational fishing into the Merrimack River and in lakes and ponds in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. These fish have fulfilled their need as brood stock, producing eggs for fish hatcheries. Recreational fishing for landlocked salmon is allowed in some locations and is regulated by states throughout New England.

Xenons problem after DRL's turned off
Hello all:
yesterday I went to the dealer to have the Daytime Running Lights turned off as I think they look stupid. Took all of 2 minutes, and that's pushing it. Anyway, tonight I was driving, and I feel like my lights are too...low for lack of a better word. When driving on the highway, I cannot see far enough in front of me to be comfortable. I feel like I always need high beams on. My headlights, when I am parked on level ground, do not reach much farther than the fog lights. This can't be normal, can it? Any advice much appreciated.
Kind of off the subject, but I just installed my Schnitzer suspension today (springs, struts, shocks, and all), and man, what a pleasure. BY FAR, THE BEST LOWERING KIT ON EARTH!!! The ride is better than stock (and I had the sport suspension).
Thanks for all the great posts everyone...
Are you certain you didn't break the control arm for the autoleveling when you lowered your car?
It Could Easily Be...
When you lower your car your headlights point more downward, especially with xenons. You might have to adjust your xenon leveling sensor behind your lights(not too familiar exactly where it's at) and that should be your problem. Or you could have broken the leveling sensor(which is extremely and too easy to do) when installing your springs. Or option 3 the dealer did mess them up but I don't think thats the case. If you don't know much about how to adjust I say ask someone on here to help or worst case go back to the dealer and they'll fix it in 2 seconds.
where is the headlight leveling assembly
Does anyone know where the control arm for the autoleveling assembly is??? 300Cic?????????? It is VERY possible that the tech broke it while installing the springs.
Its on the front passenger side of the car.

At least one business owner in downtown Regina worries the City is prizing mega-projects over local business.
"It's becoming increasingly difficult to be downtown these days," admits Kelly Hague.
He speaks from experience. His family business, Loggie's Shoes, has been operating in the area for more than 100 years.
But he says customers are finding it harder and harder to get to the store these days. Part of the problem is construction workers from the nearby Hill Tower site park at the meters outside all day long.
Now word that construction will begin on yet another office tower on Hamilton Street is triggering a new wave of worry. It will get started Hill Tower III is completed.
"I'm not against having office towers downtown but I think they've forgotten some of the things that make people come downtown," said Hague.
His understanding of the City's highly-publicized Downtown Plan was that it was supposed to help create a vibrant downtown with a mix of residential, office, and retail spaces. Right now the equation seems a bit lopsided, he contends.
"If we get through this whole construction what happens when the new building is built? That's less retail on the street.
"The Hill Tower III takes away that corner of retail and this new building takes away some retail and all of a sudden there isn't that much left on the street.
"You want as many small shops on the street as you can in order to draw a wide variety of people to the street and make it interesting to walk down and for people to browse and shop in the different stores."
In the last few years several businesses have claimed the inconvenience and reduced parking due to construction is driving away customers and hurting business.
Mayor Pat Fiacco has responded consistently on the issue. He's been fielding complaints since the delayed construction of the new plaza space on 12th Avenue, north of Victoria Park. He was reached in San Francisco.
Fiacco insists that these massive construction projects are serving the greater good.
"People wanted a vibrant downtown and that doesn't happen overnight and it doesn't happen without a bit of inconvenience," he said.
"You can't renovate your kitchen assuming you're going to continue to cook in your kitchen while the renovations are taking place."
He says some Reginans simply don't like change but he feels the City needs to remain flexible while staying focused on future growth.
He promises the City is doing whatever it can to help out downtown businesses.

The European Language Label is an award for innovative language-learning projects. It rewards creative ways to improve the quality of language teaching, motivate learners and make the best of available resources.
TINY SIGNERS is a 2-year European project, runing from 2010 to 2012. It's co-funded by the Lifelong Learning Programme and involves 7 organisations from 4 European countries.
Tiny Signers project is unique beacuse it is focused on the children under the age of two years old.
Signing builds on a baby's natural ability to use gestures. Babies are able to show signs many months before they are able to speak. The main reason for TINY SIGNERS project is to create possibilities for the communication for deaf, hard of hearing and hearing children in the very early stages of their life and to overcome the gap which exists in this field in the majority of European countries.
The overall objective of the project is to implement an innovative approach with hearing and deaf babies through the development and use of baby sign language and thus improve the quality of early communication and language learning in the participating countries of Slovenia, Austria and Lithuania and to further develop the community of the signing babies in the United Kingdom.
The baby sign language courses will be developed on the bases of national sign languages in close cooperation with deaf communities, child care and special needs professionals, curriculum authorities, kindergartens and schools.
- teachers and other child care professionals involved in pre-school education in three countries and also a larger number of child care professionals
- parents of deaf, hard of hearing as well as hearing babies who are interested in early communication with their babies and toddlers through participation of baby sign language initiative
- deaf, hard of hearing and hearing babies who are going to be able to express their needs, desires and emotions with their parents as well as other carers from a very early stage.
- to increase the social prestige and the attractiveness of sign language
- to create an enviroment with much less frustrations and obstacles for hearing and deaf babies
- to increase the awareness and communication with deaf people
- to leave a positive and long lasting impact in the EU context
This project has been funded with support from the European Commission.

Don't Needle Me
The past was when quilting was a stay-at-home thing, the purview of grannies who made blankets and groups of backwoods gals who wanted an excuse to get together and bitch. Today, quilting is an art form. Look no further for proof than Chandler, where Vision Gallery and Chandler Center for the Arts will present their 15th annual cooperative quilting exhibit. Art Quilts XV: Needleplay offers pieces selected to represent a wide range of techniques and design solutions -- everything from painting and monoprinting to photo transfer and machine piecing -- that artists use today to create contemporary quilt pieces.
Mondays-Saturdays. Starts: Nov. 5. Continues through Jan. 15, 2010

As Prime Minister of Kuwait[edit]
Sabah was appointed as Prime Minister on 4 December 2011. A year later, on 5 December 2012, he was reappointed as Prime Minister following the parliamentary election held on 1 December 2012.[2]
In January 2014 it was announced that he had reshuffled his five-month-old cabinet, replacing seven members, including the oil and finance ministers, and raising the number of Islamists to four. The reshuffle came two weeks after all the ministers submitted their resignations to Sabah after several cabinet members, including the prime minister himself, were questioned by MPs. Emir Shaikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah accepted the resignation of seven of the 15 ministers and decreed the appointment of new ministers. The modified cabinet included a new oil minister, Ali Al Omair, a lawmaker who was a senior member of the Islamist Salaf Alliance. He replaced Mustafa Al Shamali.[3]
He is a patron of the Sheikh Mubarak Al Hamad Al Sabah Journalism award, created in 2008 to honor excellence in Kuwaiti journalism.[4]

Recyclers and brokers of recovered fibre in Europe and North America continue to compete vigorously for the material being generated, and now also face increased hurdles in selling into the world's largest consuming market.
In late winter and early spring, shippers of secondary commodities into China have slowly begun to learn more about "Operation Green Fence," an effort by Chinese environmental and customs officials to more vigorously inspect (and more willingly reject) what they consider to be sub-par container loads.
At a session called the "U.S.-China Scrap Trade Consult Meeting" at the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries Inc. (ISRI) Convention on April 12, Wang Jiwei, vice president and secretary-general of the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association Recycling Metal Branch (CMRA), referred to Operation Green Fence as a 10-month effort by China's national customs agency "to strengthen the supervision" of environmental standards.
According to Wang, the Green Fence initiative runs from February to November 2013 that will focus on random inspection of all forms of "imported waste," meaning metallic, plastic, textile, rubber and paper scrap materials.
Wang said the initiative did not involve new regulations, but that it "strengthens Article 12," which was issued in April 2011. (That article states, "In the process of importing solid waste, measures shall be taken to prevent it from spread[ing] seepage and leakage or other measures to prevent pollution of [the] environment.")
He said the intention of Operation Green Fence is in part "psychological," to make shippers know China will "strictly examine the import application and [consider whether] to approve the import license" of shippers who are caught sending sub-standard material.
If the focus is actually on liquids and moisture, it would seem to be of concern most directly to shippers of commingled, post-consumer fibre packed in material recovery facilities (MRFs) that may include higher levels of residual liquids
An Asia-based broker who represents secondary fibre generated in both North America and Europe says he has found Chinese customs officials paying greater attention to shipments coming from Europe compared to North America.
In his presentation, the CMRA's Wang showed photos of inbound containers whose shortcomings went beyond liquid contamination. Problems presented included living mice, bullets and combustible flares included in a container load of juice boxes.
Speaking at a different ISRI Convention session, Liu Shengming of the China Certification & Inspection Group (CCIC) noted that the number of containers filled with scrap materials continued to grow from 2010 to 2012.
Liu said that North America sent 698,000 containers filled with scrap materials to China in 2012, up from 635,000 in 2011. Only 0.04% of those containers were found to be "unqualified," according to Liu. Recovered fibre was the foremost commodity shipped.

This review is from: Fellowes 98905 Silver/Blue 5 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Optical HD Precision Mouse
5-buttons is great for gaming, and gamers are not known for their extravagant fortunes: It is cheap. I like the way it feels and moves. I also like the way it clicks because the button-depression is short, so the cycle-time between each press-down and release is short, which is great for mad clicking. It's really a nice mouse, and for a 5-button mouse its cheap: the price-point is a serious bonus here.
After 6 months it began to issue double-clicks when I clicked only once, getting me killed in my games sometimes :) This problem was easily solved by banging the mouse a few times on my desk until it went away, as though something was loose or not soldered properly and just needed to be jolted into another place. After describing these symptoms, a friend said that I probably had a bad switch inside. Ok, so maybe you get what you pay for. After 9 months of ownership, I got worried that it will only handle so much more banging on the desk and I was tired of using this technique as a "fix", so I have decided to replace it. I'm sure a lot of them are bad, but I am hoping to get lucky. I'll probably buy another one while I see what I can do with this one in the warranty process.
Other Thoughts:
Even with two mice (while one would be in some kind of RMA process), I'm still paying less combined than a lot of other 5 button mice. I've had other expensive mice (64$+) go out on me in the past, albeit their longevity was better (2-3 years). I don't think I'm that bad off, but of course I am biased, because I like the mouse itself.

What Government Innovations Have Proven to Work?Reena Jana
The 2009 winners of the Innovations in American Government Awards, given each year since 1986 by the Ash Institute for Democratic Governance & Innovation at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, have been announced. They represent inventive public-sector programs that local, state, or federal governments might want to emulate. And they answer the question, "what government 'innovations' have proven to work?" Companies could also learn from their ideas, or at least seek them as public-private partners.
I wrote a story and slideshow featuring details on the 16 programs chosen as finalists for their novelty, significance, effectiveness, and transferability to other organization, earlier this year. The piece offered some context to the awards, including the fact that the Obama administration has tapped past winners. Here is the list of the 2009 honorees:
Commonwealth Health Connector Authority, Massachusetts Data Feeds: Democratization of Government Data – Washington, D.C. Higher Education Initiative – Kingsport, TN Mapping Evapotranspiration – Idaho New Leaders for New Schools – Chicago Public School District Wraparound Milwaukee – Milwaukee County, WI

One of the issues we must eventually confront in the black community is the number of divisions which currently exist in our ranks. I have too many liberal views to ever be considered a black conservative, but like most people, I can't (or at least I shouldn't) be defined based on my views on a handful of issues. But that's exactly how black conservatives have been caricatured within the black community.
As I see it, the problem is that what we know of black conservatives is learned through the prism of white media. We have come to the conclusion that all black conservatives are "sellouts" because we've seen former Congressman Allen West making fundamentally flawed and inflammatory pronouncements on Fox News, and so on. What I plan to do in this series on black conservatives is allow them to speak for themselves, through the prism of black media instead of white media.
In this interview, I ask columnist and conservative consultant Raynard Jackson what he thinks about President Obama's relationship to the black community, the gay agenda (and how it impacts the black agenda), the Chicago murder rate, black culture, and why Rev. Al Sharpton never pushed Obama to do more for the black community.

I am female, 23 and have graduated college in Building Renovation Technician, only girl in my class Yay me.
I am constantly described as weird and random but meh it makes life interesting.
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 cell phone 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 (yet it would be nice) and knows the importance of the little things. Copy and paste this onto your account, and add your name to the list, 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.:HarryArtemis1220, edwardcullenissosexy, Pixel Alice, ME LOVEY JAZZY, Gandalf the Grey-Edelwiess, DoYouReallySeeMe, Potter's Angels, CrowNoYami, Mr.Toastie, DeathGirl-chan Annaku

I HATE it when authors just suddenly disappear!! I can totally under stand if shit gets in the way of your writing, life sucks but its there. 2-3 months no updates, no notes annoying but i can understand, but when you go 9 months to a year with nothing!! Especially when you've been updating other or starting new stories. Just tell us if your abandoning it already! it makes me want to cry because it always seems to be the stories that im really interested in that disappear.
So yes...I am not much of a writer but I am a very avid reader so be aware that if i have you in my favs you are either an awesome writer or are so freaking creative that i just had to keep track of your story.

After the attack of the destroyer in new Mexico by Loki S.H.E.I.L.D. began looking into the possibility of other gods and myths existing. The Greek gods knowing that the mist protecting their existence had been fading over the past years, feared the possible repercussions of the mortals discovering them due to the monsters. The gods decided to pre-emptively reintroduce themselves to the world. Poseidon seeing this as a chance to finally be allowed to spend time with his son Percy volunteered to be the one to work with the Avengers initiative and S.H.E.I.L.D. so long as he got to bring Percy with him.
The way I see it there is no way Orochimaru could build up a hidden village as large as sound was as quickly as the cannon suggests he did. It seems far more likely to me that he took over one of the smaller hidden villages that existed weather be force or election. this story would require quite a few OC's but please dont make it all about them

Harrison Remains Undefeated in DC
By Gary "Digital" Williams at ringside
Washington, DC welterweight Dusty Harrison remained undefeated with a third-round TKO over Nalo Leal of Spokane, WA in front of a very partisan crowd at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in DC. Harrison dropped Leal with a right hand in the first round and continued his dominance until dropping Leal with another right hand over the top to finish the contest. The bout was stopped at 31 seconds of the third. Harrison is now 10-0, six KO's while Leal falls to 4-17-1.
In the co-feature, New York, NY light heavyweight Phil Jackson-Benson stopped William "Bad News" Prieto of Lorain, OH at the end of the first round with a brutal body shot. Prieto did not beat referee Sharon Sands's count and the bout was stopped. Jackson-Benson, who is now trained by Adrian Davis, is now 9-1, eight KO's while Prieto is now 5-11, two KO's.
This card had three knockouts which will get serious consideration at the end of the year for Knockout of the Year in the Washington, DC region. Palmer Park, MD junior lightweight Kevin "K-Smoov" Rivers, Jr. scored a first-round knockout over Bobby "The Prodigy" Wooten of Wilson, NC in just 31 seconds with the only punch he threw in the bout. Wooten came out of his corner and immediately held on to Rivers. As Wooten had a grip on Rivers's left hand, Rivers crushed Wooten with his right hand and spent him sprawling. Wooten couldn't beat the count. Rivers is 2-0, one KO while Wooten is 0-2.
The second candidate may belong to rookie middleweight "Swift" Jarrett Hurd of Accokeek, MD, who dropped Coy Lambert of Columbia, SC face first with a brutal straight left hand to end a very competitive bout at 2:08 of the fourth round. Hurd is now 2-0, two KO's while Lambert is 1-5, one KO.
The third candidate came from the debuting middleweight Devar Ferhadi of Frederick, MD who landed a brutal body shot to Anthony Madden of Biloxi, MS that made Madden scream in pain as he fell to the canvas. The bout was stopped at 1:41 of the first round. Madden is 0-2.
Also on the card, Clarksburg, MD junior middleweight Dillon "The Stalker" Hayman scored a first-round stoppage over Christopher Baynes of Reidsville, NC by way of Barbados. Hayman never knocked Baynes down, but pressured him enough to get the bout stopped at 1:51 of the first round. Hayman is now 2-0, two KO's while Baynes is 0-2.
District Heights, MD junior lightweight Renaldo "Misunderstood" Gaines bounced back from his loss to David Warren Huffman to score a four-round unanimous decision over Alan Beeman of Providence, RI in the only bout to go the distance on the card and one of the better bouts overall this year along the Beltway. This was a great give-and-take bout despite the scorecards giving Gaines a shutout victory. 40-35. Gaines scored a knockdown in round two. Gaines is 3-1 while Beeman is 0-5.
The opening contest saw DC junior welterweight Joshua "Marvelous Moe" Parker deliver a third-round TKO over the debuting Antonio Moody of Reidsville, NC. Parker got the bout stopped at 1:55 of the third after some heavy shots to the head and body. Parker is now 2-0, two KO's.
Keystone Boxing, led by Gene Molovinsky, promoted the card. The matchmaker was Brian Dillon.

One of the big issues for motorcycle travelers is cargo. What do you bring, and what do you leave home? And, even more importantly, if you're going to bring it with you, where are you going to put it?
For many of us, the best solution to cargo hauling on a bike is a pair of saddlebags.
Saddlebags have been around much longer than motorcycles. As soon as horses were domesticated, somewhere between 5000 and 2000 B.C., I'm guessing that humans were throwing bags over their backs and asking them to haul cargo.
Many of the saddlebags available today still resemble equine bags, leather satchels with a compartment on each side connected by a yoke in the middle, designed to be tossed over a seat and hauled across the country.
A properly loaded and secured set of saddlebags might be the safest way to transport your belongings. Your load will be traveling close to the bike's center of gravity, so it will have less of an effect on handling and steering than a load that is up high, like in a tank bag or trunk. If you pack properly, you'll also balance your load from side-to-side, further minimizing the effects.
Some touring bikes, like the Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic Electra Glide, come with locking hard-sided saddlebags as standard equipment. Accessory hard bags can be added to pretty much any bike. Most bike makers and after market manufacturers build bike-specific kits, or adaptable universal mounting kits for hard bags.
Soft saddlebags are a more traditional choice in many cases. Leather works really well as a saddlebag material, offering strength, resilience, and great looks. Synthetic leather can look almost as good as real leather, and doesn't require the same amount of attention and care in order to retain those good looks. There are even motorcycle specific fabric bags, usually made out of Cordura or some other tough material.
There are also hybrid bags, which are part hard bag/part soft bag — bags with a hard surface and expandable soft panels that allow a little bit of stretch. Or hard plastic bags that are covered with leather, for the best of durability with the best of looks in one package.
Pay close attention to your manufacturer's guidelines and instructions when mounting and loading saddlebags. Too much weight can be very dangerous, even if the load fits in the saddlebags. And be sure that you use the proper mounts and wheel guards when fitting your saddlebags to your bike. When you lean into a turn, you need to be sure that your saddlebag isn't drooping into your wheel, onto your driveline, or onto the roadway. That's bad.
I've got leather bags for my Sportster. They look great, and they're equipped with a quick release so that the yoke stays on the bike at all times, even when I disconnect the bags to bring them into my hotel room. They're not as secure as I'd like, so I keep my bike in sight or I take my bags with me. Maybe some day, I'll invest in some hard bags, like these from the Harley-Davidson Parts and Accessories Catalog.

Where I stayed
We got to Phi Phi from Koh Phanghan by several ferries and a coach across mainland which took up most of the day, but I think the best places always take longer to get to in Thailand! The weather was overcast and even had a downpour for an hour whilst on the ferry.
We soon realised how overpriced accommodation is compared to the previous resorts we had stayed, as is everything else on the island as we continued to find out, but we managed to find a good set of bungalows with a sea view. We settled in and so did the downpour of rain.
Koh Phi Phi is a beautiful little island, largely made of limestone cliffs. It is almost separated into two islands, but a strand of flat land connects them
During our 7 days here we managed to fit in a day or so at the beach in-between the constant raining days. We had planned to take advantage of the beautiful marine life by doing snorkelling and boat trips, even going over to Maya Bay where the film The Beach was filmed. But there never came a day which seemed suitable for these activities.
On the 6th day I did a rock climbing tour on one of the cliffs next to Tonsai Village. Although it was raining the climbing location was sheltered by a rock overhang. I did 3 climbs over the course of the afternoon and came back as the sun was setting feeling achy and tired but quite proud of myself
At our previous resorts we made friends with the local dogs, who belonged to each resort. They added allot of character to each place and where always happy to get attention. There was Rocky our night guardian; he escorted us from our bungalows at Koh Samui to the local bars, than at Koh Phanghan there was rolly polly a big fat mottled dog who roamed the beach and the gardens sniffing out trouble and our favourite was jack who was very excitable and followed Caitlin where ever possible. However at Phi Phi there are virtually no dogs, only masses of cats with kittens, it seemed that every shop porch there was a family of cats living. In our boredom from the constant rain we named our small feline friends, who seemed to enjoy being guests at our bungalow, Joey and Millie and their mother Molly.
Some more highlights from the week:
Made In Thailand – Koh Phi Phi's very own tribute band singing anything you requested and sounded very authentic.
Beach Party - At Bohemian bar our night there included many long island iced teas, fire dancing and a shisha pipe.

This has got to be the BEST cake story I have made to date … lol
A few years ago the birthday boy had taken the engine out and bonnet off his Nissan Patrol and as he was trying to put the bonnet back on, he climbed into the engine cavity (with the bonnet on his back) and somehow managed to clip the bonnet into place and got stuck in the engine cavity of the car!
He yelled out but no one could hear him … he was stuck under there for about half hour until one of his mates came over and went up to the shed. His mate was yelling out, he could hear him but couldn't find him.
Their Staffy Zedd was just curled up in the corner for the whole thing – apparently he just sniffed his feet and then curled up and went to sleep.
Needless to say the birthday boy thought he was a pretty lousy Lassie!

After goin to all major parts dealers in my erea and coming up with the same pump for $250 i contacted an on line parts warehouse which turns out to be Midway Nissan.the Factory part was identical to the parts sold by napa car quest autozone and Orielies which is of less quality than the pump assembly i removed.All parts were identical bosch units except the dealer pump was in a factory Nissan stamped box,even the part numbers were the same.the differance was 245 vs 368 in a different box.i specified i wanted a direct replacement but this is what they delivered. Ialso payed an additional $25 fee for next day delivery.they said they would contact me if it arrived and said most likely tuesday.IT arrived saturday but heir excuse was nobody was available to notify me and they refused to refund my 25 bucks.when i tried to return the pump they did not refund te expediting fee or the o ring and said i had to wait 2 weeks for a refund check since i payed in cash.
i took the pump home and did the required modifications to make it work.i called another dealer and they have the correct pump which would have fit my application without modificatins to origional harness.Point is they are selling generic aftermarket parts in factory boxes as genuine authorized parts.the quality is not there and the same pump is available from aftermarket parts stores for $100 less. i an very dissapointed in paying more for less.and recieveing non factory parts as original dealer parts.

Sam Clements' article on these pages entitled "Irrelevant churches have no right to dictate what happens in a secular society" belittles the role of religion, not only in the context of the debate over legalising same-sex marriage, but in society generally. He argues that "educated, enlightened and humanly progressive societies" have no need of the churches' moral teachings. He also tars all Christians with the same brush, arguing that "the church grooms its victim to accept its claims of moral ascendancy and to unquestioningly accept its authority, and that of its leaders."
Both arguments are way off the mark. The church I attend actually supports same-sex marriage. Furthermore, it encourages dissent from established dogma (after all most of Jesus' teachings were aimed at discrediting and ridiculing the Jewish religious leadership of the time) and independent and critical thinking on doctrinal issues. The Christians I know are deeply involved in the social issues that concern us such as income inequality, child abuse and human rights abuses here and overseas.
It is their faith that moves them to be involved with these matters.
Moreover, we may now be a secular society but the values that underpin it, our moral compass, is almost entirely a result of the influence of religion on Western civilisation. Much of our criminal law is based on the Ten Commandments: "Thou shalt not kill", "Thou shalt not steal" etc. Besides, many more of its injunctions are cogent reminders of where we have gone astray as a society due to a lack of values to guide us.
For example, many of the commandments contain the sanction not to covet. This word essentially encompasses human desire for various items, most notably material possessions. All the worlds' great religions have advice concerning excessive materialism or attachment for possessions.
New Zealand's current economic predicament is largely a natural consequence of the latter as our indebtedness as a nation stems from our desire for amassing items whether they are houses, flat screen televisions or the latest iPhone.
Likewise, Jesus's admonition to "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" would well serve corporate CEOs as they lay off hundreds of workers while they themselves receive bonuses.
Secularism flourishes because most of Christian teaching (and the teaching of other religions) is completely at odds with unrestrained capitalism.
Yet an earlier generation of New Zealand's leaders, notably the Liberals and Labour politicians who founded our welfare state and made us the envy of the rest of the world, based their actions solidly on their religious convictions, although they did not impose their religious views on others. Today's largely atheist generation of leaders lack this grounding and their policies suffer as a result. People nowadays simply accept the status quo simply because there are fewer influences - such as sermons from the pulpit - railing against it.
Clements also argues that modern scientific knowledge and discovery eliminates the need for religious teaching. Nothing could be further from the truth. All our new-found scientific expertise has not necessarily yielded wisdom on how to deal with problems as diverse as global warming and income inequality. These are moral or ethical issues squarely within the domain of religious teaching and the secular world ignores their tenets at its peril.
When it comes to issues such as same-sex marriage, no one ought to have a monopoly on determining what is legitimate. However, on these and other social issues the church is as entitled as anyone else to express its opinion and Christians are likely to be as divided over these issues as society is at large.

Greenville Planning Commission looks at developing hospital district
GREENVILLE — The Greenville Planning Commission is taking steps to check off items on the master plan.
During Thursday night's meeting, members discussed ways to develop the hospital district in Greenville.
"This will more neatly package the surrounds of the hospital into its own district so future expanding will be more simple and more predictable," said Chairman David Ralph.
Tim Johnson of MainStreet Planning Co. said by thinking about this now, the planning commission will be more prepared in the future if the hospital decides to expand.
"It makes the process easier," Johnson said.
Items discussed included what the district's purpose would be, what should be allowed, how high buildings should be allowed to be and more.
Some items discussed that would be allowed included pharmacies, kitchens, laundry, chapel and more.
Commissioner Greg VanderMark asked about housing facilities for families of patients.
Johnson liked the idea and added it to the list.
Assistant City Manager Cameron Van Wyngarden said he spoke with Greenville Department of Public Safety Director Mike Pousak about what he felt a comfortable number was for building heights in the district.
Because of the height of the fire truck ladder, Pousak suggested the height of the building to be capped at 40 feet, which is the same height of the building limits downtown.
Van Wyngarden and Johnson said the commission will discuss this information a few more times before holding a public hearing.
