Eurocucina – a Sneak Preview
Want to see what some of the new designs will look like, at this year's Eurucucina? Well, you're in the right place!
Here are a couple of the stands designs, as well as some new product designs, we received from the manufacturers themselves -
Häcker presents itself as cosmopolitan and focuses on internationality. For the East-Westphalian kitchen manufacturer, the attendance at the trade fair is very much about internationality as – making up a 38-percent share of total sales – exports are hugely important to the company and very much something that Häcker plans to further strengthen over the course of 2014. For this reason, the particular focus of the show will be on the systemat product range, which enjoys such strong demand in countries outside Europe and which occupies the mid- to premium-price segment. The company will be exhibiting a total of four systemat ranges, including new front panels with unusual materials. With its organic design, the AV 6000 range in matt lacquer will pick up on the curves of the 400-square-metre trade fair stand.
The further development of the systemat carcass variant will also be a highlight. Furthermore, Häcker will be presenting a design study for a filigree and contemporary look for drawers and pull-outs. With these options, the systemat will be able to distinguish itself even more clearly from competing products in terms of looks and will comply even more with its claim to being a premium product.
Andreas Möller, responsible for exports at Häcker, is self-confident: "The around 35-person trade fair team is ready to provide competent advice and information to visitors from all over the world in a total of nine different languages. We have been reporting on the exciting development on our Website's blog since early February now." And Managing Director Jochen Finkemeier agrees, adding: "We will be presenting ourselves in a very special way in Milan with the aim of underlining our strong international orientation and our cosmopolitan outlook. It is for this reason that I am very much looking forward to both taking part in this trade fair and seeing the surprise on the faces of our existing and new customers." Hall 13, Stand B01-C04
For the first time, based on an idea of the architect Mauro Carlesi, Toncelli introduces carbon fiber. Not as a finish for an already existing unit, but as an out and out structure, that finds its perfect element for both peninsula and hanging wall units. Carbon fiber, a composite material worked with the lastest generation systems, as well as being particularly resistant, both from heat and mechanically, is extremely light and resistant to chemicals. These characteristics are combined uniquely in Toncelli's new kitchen and offer that added value of design quality and practicality that has always characterized Toncelli. INVISIBILE, the new elegantly designed kitchen, presents furthermore a new varnishing system made from liquid metal which gives to the wall cabinets an aesthetic that is absolutely perfect for the materiality of the carbon fiber. The total absence of grooves and handles, thanks to the use of an opening system unique toToncelli, highlights again the rigor and the clean line giving a result that is quite invisible.
Always sensitive to technology, Toncelli integrates into the new kitchen avant-garde home automation systems such as the touch screen with web connection that allows utilisation of all the automated elements and also a sound broadcasting system using exciting technology which can transmit the sound from surfaces giving 360' amplification in the room. Once again, with this project,Toncelli confirms its dedication to innovation preserving its values of true Italian craftmanship and of excellent quality, inherent from more than 50 years in every kitchen produced. Hall 11, Stand C20 and B21
The kitchen comes out of the classic box design, disrupts the imaginary common and is oriented towards a new interpretation of the living environment as a place of work but of absolute relaxation.
Brummel Cucine expands and enhances the concept of the mobile bar, enhances the charm and the elegance and the project involves a richer, more glamorous. Adds an "ice maker", a bottle holder and another for the glasses, a small sink and a mini stove. A perfect island for a "cheers hour" in style, magical moment in a luxurious and functional at the same time.
The result is a classic style reinterpreted in a contemporary and refined by a sophisticated mechanical automatism that, in four simple movements, becomes an island design in a stylish bar and efficiently.
DIAMOND "Cheers Hour" has a glossy white lacquered frame with soft lines and rounded. The plan, in lacquered glass and mother of pearl, stands, splits in two and slides sideways showing the functional elements and restraints.The central part of the top slides further forward to create a plan consummation.
An example of elegant and refined design designed to live unique and unforgettable moments, in perfect Brummel. Hall 11, stand 026

Cook Like a Masterchef
Since 1983, the designers at Prima have been designing professional kitchens for hotels, restaurants, convention centres, cruise ships and large vessels. Now they are bringing this knowledge to the home of all those who want to experience cooking with the space, tools and solutions worthy of a great chef.
Designed by architect Alberto Torsello, Abimis is a unique commercial style kitchen, for residential installation.
Everything is custom-designed and hand-made in the factory, located in the Veneto region, assembled by skilled, passionate craftsmen with the painstaking dedication essential to a job well done.
It's Getting Close to Showtime!
EuroCucina is just around the corner and the excitment is building up by the day. Who's in the show, who's out this year and so much more, in the coming months. In the meantime, a new concept in salone, which is not just kitchens will be introduced this year -
A glimpse into how architects live at the 2014 Salone del Mobile
With just four months to go to the launch, the final touches are being put to the 53rd edition, which will be held from 8th to 13th April. The focus is on powerfully emphasising Milan's centrality and its unique position in terms of the quality of its design and furnishing at global level.
"The Salone is a valuable resource for the Italian economy," said Cosmit President Claudio Luti. "Not only does it need to be preserved, it also needs to be bolstered with innovational services and projects catering to international business and client demand, in order to make the Milan event more attractive than ever."
Works in progress for the next edition include the exhibition to be held at the Fairgrounds ? a show that will tell the story of the domestic interiors conceived and inhabited by top contemporary architects from several different continents: Europe, North America, South America and Asia.
"Where Architects Live" is an original installation, inspired by leading contemporary architects' own concepts of the domestic space. It will be virtual progression through the buildings in which the architects themselves live, illustrating just what is involved in designing homes for the most demanding people of all ? themselves ? with the freedom to experiment with visions and language.
The curator of the event/installation, Francesca Molteni – who curated "Design Dance" with Michela Marelli (2012) and "A Celestial Bathroom" (2010) – has been privy to the private homes of some of the greatest exponents of the architectural world greatest exponents of the architectural world, filming the exteriors and domestic spaces and recording an interview with each of them on the triggers, inspiration and choices that have shaped their design and professional careers. "The aim of the event", continued Mr. Luti, "is to explore the art of living today, with a close look at the people who are changing the face of our cities, the configuration of the global landscape and the collective imagination, putting the spotlight on new ways of planning domestic environments from every possible aspect. This is the fundamental mission of the Salone del Mobile, cultural concepts that drive the sector."
Finishing School (part two) – lacquer
This time, we'll cover one of the most popular finishes that European cabinets are known for – Lacquer.
Wikipedia -In a general sense, lacquer is a somewhat imprecise term for a clear or coloured wood finish that dries by solvent evaporation. It is also often a curing process as well that produces a hard, durable finish. This finish can be of any sheen level from ultra matte to high gloss, and it can be further polished as required. It is also used for "lacquer paint", which typically denotes a paint that dries to a more than usually hard and smooth surface.
In cabinetry (and in furniture), we generally find lacquer , often called 'shellac', in two applications: over wood or as a color paint. It can be any of various durable natural varnishes, mostly a varnish obtained from an Asian sumac (Rhus verniciflua) —called also Japanese lacquer, or any of various synthetic organic coating (clear or colored), that dries to create a hard coating, mostly a solution of cellulose dervative (such as nitrocellulose).
Lacquered wood – generally the application of lacquer over wood is over wood veneer (sheets of wood), on slab (flat) door and in high gloss. the application of high gloss lacquer over wood veneer, gives the wood a shiny finish and creates a 3D like affect, adding depth to the wood grain look.
Pros: – rich, unique look, that a second to none, of shiny wood, magnifiying the wood design.
- easy to clean (with just a little soap and water) due to the super smooth, glass-like finish, that does not absorb anything.
Cons: – expensive. The application of the veneer, plus the glossy lacqcer, adds up to a high price.
- on dark colors, shows fingerprints.
Color laqcuer – lacquer is paint, usually sparayed over MDF boards, that dry by the evaporation of simple solvent and that contains a solid binder that dissolves in a solvent. When that process happens, a thin, hard shell is created. A few coats are applied to reach approx 5 mm. thickness.
There are three groups of lacquer textures being offered – matte, high-gloss and textured. The matte is simply that – flat paint like finish. The glossy can be at different sheen levels, but is primarily done as a high gloss. The textured lacquer is sprayed from a heated spary gun and when it meets the cold air, it forms a textured finish that is actually more durable than the other two.
Pros: – the clean, perfect look of lacquer…
- easy to clean (with just a little soap and water).
Cons: the matte finish is a bit more sustainable to scratches.
- on dark colors, shows finger prints.

Fifty (Modern European) Shades of Grey
I recently discovere that the Fifty Shades of Grey apartment , located in the luxury Escala Building, in Seattle (okay…, the one that inspired the story and that the story takes place in) has a great European kitchen! It is not white (like in the story), but is done in exotic wood, covered with clear high gloss lacquer finish. As a matter of fact, the kitchens and vanities in the entire building, are all modern European cabintry, designed and supplied by Pedini.
The Escala is not the only luxury building that is featuring Pedini kitchens. According to the company, in NYC alone, there are three luxury buildings under construction right now, that will be offering Pedini kitchens and vanities in every apartment. But Pedini is not the only modern European kitchen company that is suppliying European kitchens to luxury apartment buildings – all around the US, many high rise buildings are featuring European cabinetry. Poggenpohl, Snaidero and Bulthaup are just a few of the manufacturers that are often featured in these buildings and the developers offering them outside of metropolitan areas as well.
Many developers are realizing that the buyers (and renters) of these luxury apartments are looking for the highest quality product, with the latest technology and they usually prefer the sleek contemporary European kitchen look, over the more traditional American cabinetry.

I have a set of hot racing hub carriers, but I heard they aren't that good. Should I sell them and buy the golden horizon ones?
I'm buying the gh ones. wait till I get them and I'll do a review.
I have had the HRs for several months and I'm totally happy with them. Just take it easy when threading in the pivot ball caps (to avoid stripping the threads) and you'll be dandy.
GH or GPM carriers and you will not be disappointed! But even with them you need to be careful with the pivot ball cups or they can strip. I recommend using some PTFT teflon tape on the cups so you can snug them up with a smaller chance of stripping them out. I dont know about the HR ones but if you strip the cups on the GH carriers then you can buy replacements for just a couple bucks off GH racings web site.
been busy the last couple of days to getme some HR or GPM aaxle cariers
but everywhere i look or try it they are not in stock and got a delay till end april or late may.
i looked for rmp and intergy and these ones you can buy and are in stock
i even emailed several shops but all came with the same answer
we can not get them untill end april or late may
the reason why i want them is that the left rear wheel is almost 45 degrees on my Merv
because of the space thats on the pivotball and the carrier
when i start to drive it comes straight and 90 degrees but as soon as i pull the merv backwards its the same
sloopy stuff
Xtreme has no limiits
i wouldn't run integy or rpm knuckles......
had rpm knuckles and they sucked.....
i mean, do whatever you want..... but you will kick yourself (as i did) when i realized i had wasted my money and had to buy anotehr set of knuckles....
look for peoples reviews here.... it will give you a lot more info than just trying to ask your own thread on it.....
therefor i want HR or GH
Xtreme has no limiits
did read yesterday that the HR ones break or crack after a while
so indeed i am looking for GPM ones now which are hard to find
did send mail to two shops which claim they got them instock.
Xtreme has no limiits
all of them work fine but it all depends of how hard you treat the truck.
slash revo vxl x4 rally x2 ped 2wd slash vxl rus
turok, I have seen videos of pillow balls popping out of RPM knuckles with minor taps to curbs lol.
rpm nuckles are even worse then the stock ones and Korn is telling the truth
search on you tube what crappy stuff the Nuckles are from rpm and how many problem there are with them
Xtreme has no limiits
i use rpm hubs and so far so good. no heavy bashing. but many people don't use new balls when they get a new hub so that will cause some issues.
slash revo vxl x4 rally x2 ped 2wd slash vxl rus
Well i have the GH hubs and have hit some stuff pretty hard and havent had any problems with them yet.
i went for the gpm this afternoon and ordered them from germany
Xtreme has no limiits
thanks for the help
Thatd awesome mossie! Im glad you found them!!
I have not had issue with the RPM ones on my tmaxx but I see that the merv ones aren't the best. I was at the LHS today picking up spares because I broke the stock plastic retainer. I might have picked up the RPM ones if they were in stock. I ended up with the traxxas screw in retainers. Should I be looking for GPM or GH ones in the future?
When installing the traxxas cvds I noticed one of my bearings is seized. Figures, I spent $60 on spares and that's one of the things I didn't get.
I recommend getting GH or GPM knuckles.
Can the stock ones be adjusted somehow to stop the wobble?? Why are they made that way?
HPI Vorza | Traxxas Summit | 1/16 Traxxas E-Revo
Stock are not adjustable unless you buy parts that are just about the cost of a set of knuckles.
They are made that way due to cost...
if every part was upgraded out of the box the price would drive most customers away.
And even then there would be complaints as to what parts were used!
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
I dunno...
I really like the RPM ones. I got them at first because they were the cheapest and I only had enough money for stock or RPM. When I first ran them, I popped them out a lot. However, they were my first upgrade besides tweaking the suspension, and they were popping because i was wrecking.
So I stuck with them, and they quit popping out when I quit wrecking. When I upgraded to LiPo, I popped them a couple more times, but it was because the truck was about 15% faster. Haven't had trouble with them ever unless I bit curb, have no problem with them now as I don't bite curb.
Now 50 has a good point, that the plastic that hold the bearing gets ovaled out. But that's never happened to me on a stock motor and 2s. If you are running an upgrade motor you are going to wreck at high speeds, and the part with the least resistance is going to be the one that gives. I would rather have a 10 dollar part give than a more expensive one, but more importantly one that is hard to fix. For example ripping the pivot balls out of the a-arm is way more wrenching to fix than popping 4 screws in and out. The bearing carrier wont oval out on aluminum, but the bearing will shatter or pivot balls will bend or strip. The aluminum part will be intact and the parts around it will be broken.
So I say take Jimmies advice. Do a search and see what parts break frequently yourself. People will come into this thread and tell you what you want to hear, but the proof is in the pudding.
Mine are ovaled out. Check my ultimate test thread found a new problem with gh. Don't know if it was a first edition design but the ones on my 1112 merv works fine
I'm leaning towards GPM ($40 for 4 plus shipping) + a new servo which I am still not sure which one to get as I want least mod possible, I think someone said to get the bluebird 390. I want to get my MERV to drive straight with 0 trim. Right now my trim is at 2 O'clock... and no matter what I do it's always swaying to the left... I think this is due to the wheels grabbing the uneven ground because the stock knuckles suck!??? I also have to install the aluminum rods so that I can adjust camber and toe

I know exactly what you mean and it bugs me also. However, I was happy to get it to go in a strait line WOT no matter what the trim position was set at, as going straight is the end goal.
I replaced both the stock knuckles and the servo to get it to go in a strait line. I also got the pushrods, but took them off eventually. It takes a lot of tweaking, trial and error. I recommend changing one variable at a time and noting the trucks reaction to each modification. Hope this helps.
Also, afterthought, there is a sub trim on the newer radios.

Poker FaceMature
I awoke to the loud sound of cussing and shouting in the living room. I looked over at the clock as it read 12:38 am. I let out a small moan as I realized Alex was having one of his stupid poker games since Mom slept through almost everything, including the sound of a bunch of drunken idiots cussing and fighting.
I looked over at Devyn's bed and I saw my brother sitting on the edge with a worried expression on his face, and I could understand why. If we so much as walked out of the room Alex would say we were "interrupting" his game and beat the living crap out of us, and every now and then his retarded friends would help him.
Devyn looked up at me and put a finger to his mouth, signaling for me to be silent and moved towards the door, cracking it open to where we could hear what Alex was saying.
"I'm telling you Barney that woman I married is so stupid," Alex said his words slurred from all the alcohol he'd drank, "She doesn't care what I do if I hit her or her little brats, just so long as I pretend to care about her and her finances."
I Choked back a snarl as he talked about how my mother acted, because I knew he was right. She had said before when I'd caught him hitting her that she didn't care what he did to her, or us for that matter. Just so long as he kept food on the table and the bills paid.
"Oh great," Devyn muttered softly, "Big Barney's here." I nodded, remembering that the last time Barney had come over. Let's suffice it to say I ended up in a cast for a few weeks.
"How are those boys anyway?" Barney asked, "Still trouble for you?"
"They've never been anything more than a hassle," Alex snorted, "The youngest one is the worst though, always sitting around doing nothing! Ungrateful for everything I've done for them and their mother!"
I clenched my fist as he lied about me. I'm the one who always cleaned up after the slob because he decided Devyn was going to be his personal servant. That's when I heard Devyn let out a small sob as he talked about our mother, she may be a bitch but we still at least acknowledged who she was, that she was the woman who gave birth to us and raised us.
"Well why don't you go wake them up and we'll teach them a lesson." I heard one of the other guys say, and everyone in the living room agreed and I heard footsteps headed towards us, Devyn gave me this look of pure terror and helplessness as he quietly closed the door and got under the blankets to pretend we hadn't heard anything and I did the same. Alex pretty much broke down the door and started screaming at us as we pretended to be shocked and sleepy which wasn't too hard.
"Get the hell up and get into the living room NOW!" He screamed as Devyn and I jumped to our feet and got into the living as quick as we could stumbling out of our still adjusting eyes. Barney was sitting in an easy chair in a black shirt smirking, showing off his yellow teeth as he did. I crashed onto the ground due to a hand shoving me to the ground, and I saw Devyn let out a small gasp as he was pushed against the wall by Barney.
"Well hello there pretty boy," Barney sneered as he held Devyn down by the throat, "Let's have some fun." I turned my head away as I saw the fist Barney had made collide right in Devyn's stomach and Devyn let out a small cry. I then looked up and saw Alex's beer gut falpping out while he stared down at me with a cold look. Then I felt his foot connect with my face and I was now on my back looking up and struggling to try and get to my feet to no avail. That's when Barney dropped Devyn and picked me up then kneed me in the stomach and shoved me against the wall punching me in the face.
"Maybe now you'll learn a little bit of respect for your step father." Alex said staring at me while I let a small tear fall off my cheek, Barney cackled as he slid his hand over my mouth and kneed me as hard as possible in the stomach, causing me to scream but make no noise.
Alex walked over to Devyn and grabbed him by the scruff of the neck. Then slammed his face into the wall giving him a bloody nose and then dropped his limp body to the floor again.
"You can go back to your room I need to have a little talk with your brother," Alex said giving me an evil smile and I choked back a sob. Devyn looked from me to Alex and gave me this helpless look as he managed to limp back into our room, shutting the door. As soon as Alex heard the door shut he made me sit next to Barney who held me by the wrist so I wouldn't try to leave.
"Now then I just wanted to tell you how much I admire your body." He said scanning me over with lustful eyes, that's when I remembered that he was bisexual.
"Oh shit." Was all I could think as he looked me over.
"If I want you, or I get tired of your mother," He leaned in so close I could smell the alcohol on his breath, "I will get you, are we clear?" I sat there, shocked for a minute as the reality of the situation, he was essentially telling me that when he got the chance, he would rape me without hesitation. He repeated himself and I merely nodded as I understood I was nothing more than a toy to him.
"Good now go to bed and get some rest." He said and Barney released my arm, as I got off the couch and limped towards the hallway I felt a hand touch my butt and I fought the urge to start bawling like a little kid. As soon as I walked into my room I saw Devyn get up from the door and understood he had heard the entire conversation. His eyes were teared up and he closed the door and I finally let the tears I'd been holding back fall.
I wanted it to end so bad, I wanted something more than to be a play thing for some sexual predator. I had dreams, but I knew somewhere deep down, Alex would kill me to take away my happiness and keep his.
I contemplated this as I pulled out the small tube of medicine Devyn had given me and I rubbed it onto the injuries, Devyn took off his shirt which was covered in blood and threw it in the hamper. While I took mine off I stared at how much crimson there was on it.
It looked as if someone had taken all the petals off of a rose bush and glued them onto the shirt. I suppressed the wave of emotions flooding me at that moment, nearly breaking down until there was nothing left.
"I don't want him to do anything to you so don't stay here alone, ever," Devyn said pulling on a new shirt that didn't have blood on it, "Even if it's mom here he wouldn't do it because he needs to keep up the act that he loves her, or at least that he wants to pay her bills or whatever. If I have to go somewhere just come with me it's better then staying here and..." He stopped and looked at me, that's when I saw the fear in his eyes.
I appreciated the effort my brother was putting into this but... It would hold no avail, we both knew that. At some point it was inevitable that Alex would get exactly what he wants.
I nodded though, and put on my shirt. Devyn came over and put a hand on my shoulder, and as I looked over at him I saw brotherly love in his eyes. The kind that somewhat reassured me whenever I was really scared of Alex, I knew that if he could he would stop the beatings and give us a better life.
"Thanks," I said as I walked over to my bed, "Love you bro."
"Love you to." He said as he walked over to his bed and pulled up the covers. Then I fell asleep again to the sound of NFL and my brother's breathing.

Low-cost rivals Ryanair and Go have also applied for slots there. The slots are becoming available as big carriers including BA, Virgin Atlantic and Alitalia cut operations at Gatwick because of a slump in passenger demand after 11 September.
BA has abandoned plans to turn Gatwick, which serves the lucrative market in London's commuter belt, into a second hub airport to complement Heathrow. EasyJet has built up its main base at Luton. But airline bosses have been angered by the airport's plans to raise charges.
They also think a move to Gatwick will allow easyJet to tap a bigger and wealthier market. EasyJet chief executive Ray Webster said: 'We would like the scale of our Gatwick operations to be two to three times bigger than those at Luton by around 2005.' He also wants to take over slots in Brussels, Zurich and Paris.

Part OneMature
Two teenagers head to Washington DC to fight for their freedom after being held captive in a slave penitentiary since the age of eight and escaping their prison. Together, they must fight to survive to the final round.
"Run," I heard as I inhaled deeply before sprinting.
I ran as hard as I could as I overheard the police dogs barking behind me, who were increasing their pace as they followed us out of the tunnel away from the store we had just robbed.
"Faster; you can make it," Kevin encouraged.
"But what about-"
I was cut off as the dog's teeth took my leg out from under me. It had bitten my calf, and the smell of blood began to fill my nostrils. Kevin ran to my aid with his sword and beat the dog with the sword's blunted hilt until it retreated, whimpering in pain. The last thing I saw was his face and the stars dancing in the night sky as the world faded black. I awoke in the forest, wearing the same white and navy uniform shirt and white pleated skirt, navy converses, but adding bandages on my leg. I could see the orange sky as the sun rose above the horizon. The forest was still green and full of life.
"Here's breakfast," Kevin smiled, giving me scrambled eggs and bacon on a plate.
He still wore his white collared uniform shirt, black pants, and black leather shoes we had from the slave penitentiary we escaped from two months before. We carried our swords and bags everywhere ever since we had escaped from the slave penitentiary in Boston, where we came from. We had robbed stores to satisfy what we needed and wanted. Our faces were covered with sweat; our feet were blistered and calloused, and the same with our hands.
"You'll be fine." He noticed I was staring at my leg.
"How will I fight, or walk?"
"It's not broken, only bruised badly," he said, fingering his light brown hair.
"Thanks," I replied. "Do you know where a nearby stream is?"
"Follow me," he led me through the forest after I finished my meal.
I removed the bandages from my leg, and stood on both legs. I winced as I tried to run towards him. I really wanted to at least clean myself. He walked farther into the forest before we reached a bubbling brook.
"Here," he said nodding towards the water.
I stared at him for a while, hoping he'd get the hint. He stood there for a while before I finally spoke.
"You can go now."
"Oh, sorry about that."
After he left, I undressed myself, got some lavender soap, which I had stolen from a shop, and cleaned myself. I got out of the cold water, got dressed into the same clothes, sprayed on some stolen perfume, applied some stolen cosmetics, and dried my blonde hair. Playing with my blonde hair, I walked towards Kevin, and he turned around holding a sheet of paper, astonished and smiling.
"You look pretty cute, I mean no beautiful, or...Um, anywho, we are near Arlington."
Why is complimenting me? Doesn't he think I am a nuisance to him? He never showed any interest before.
"What's the paper say?" I asked blushing, but trying to ignore what Kevin had said, then taking the paper in my hands I read.
Government Contest Being Held In Washington DC
Ages from twelve to eighteen can participate in the fight for their freedom. There will be multiple rounds of sword fighting. The first round's losers will be sent back to slavery penitentiary, but in the final rounds, it will be a fight to the death. Ready your weapons and see if you can last until the final round.
"Kevin, look, they are holding a contest for freedom. We have a chance to be free."
"Abby, there is no point. The government is crooked, and ever since the economy went to shit, they have been using kids to sell to countries everywhere. It's fucking stupid"
"But we have a chance," I said quietly.
"Only one of us can win," he added.
"Fuck it! I'm going to DC! I'm going to win, even if you're not there with me!" I spat bitterly, but quiet enough for him to barely hear.
I limped away from him, away from my feelings for Kevin, and away from Arlington, towards Washington DC. Fine. I thought. If he doesn't come I can win, even when it hurts to leave him behind.
"Wait up," he called to me, grabbing my right wrist.
"Let go of me!"
"Abby, don't be so stubborn..."
"You just shut the fuck up! It's not like you actually care!"
I knew he wouldn't watch me walk away from him. He couldn't handle leaving me to fend for myself when I was injured.
"Let's go then," I replied jogging away and felt the pain throbbing in my calf.
"That's not fair," Kevin said. "You ignore me, and then you get a head start."
"It's not fair you can remember everything before you were gassed! You can remember your life, the fall of the economy, everything."
He stepped in front of me, stopped, and sadly stared at me, "I don't want to remember, it's horrible. I remember us being chased out of our classroom by men in white suits and gas masks, and our teachers standing there watching us being cuffed and gagged by the men as gas had filled the room," he said. "I remember us being taken to the penitentiary and receiving our uniforms. We lost all our family. Now we are eighteen years old, yet we have no rights, and we have no idea who is running this so-called government."
He stood there staring at me as tears were pouring from my eyes, and then he put his hand on my face and kissed me. He stopped, I met his eyes, and he kissed me again. I grabbed his face, pulling it towards mine. He backed away surprised, as I flushed. We began walking again in silence. Around sunset, we had spotted a toll both on a road that lead into Washington DC.
"How do we get through? I mean, we have some money, but I plan to keep it. It took forever to plan how to rob that store, and I don't feel like trying again," I exclaimed. "I got my leg bit by the police dogs because we got caught stealing!"
"We'll have to hide on the other side of the vehicles that pass through and follow them without being seen."
"Let's go, here comes a Humvee." I nodded.
We slowly crept behind the moving vehicle, staying behind the wheel to be sure to be unseen. As soon as the vehicle halted, we did too, and after we were past the toll booth, we hid behind some bushes.
"Sorry about earlier. I didn't mean to-"he began.
I shut him up by kissing him and didn't stop until he put his hands on my shoulders, as if he was trying to push me away, and said,
"Stop, I can't."
"You mean you won't. Am I not a good kisser?"
"It's not like that."
There was no compromise. I was already cross with Kevin, and I began to storm away. I had seen a sign, pointing towards the Pentagon where the contest would be held. The building was in ruins, but the government was too greedy to repair it. I loped towards the Pentagon, getting away from Kevin. I was furious that he could kiss me, but it was not okay when I kissed him.God, guys piss me off! Then I noticed an older man standing alone by the entrance.
"No entries are left."
"Well too bad," I responded to the stout man standing by the door. "I'm here to enter, whether your arrogant self likes it or not!"
"Feisty aren't you? You are arrogant yourself," the fat bastard insulted me.
How dare he? I stabbed the man in the lower abdomen with my small dagger, and then he choked and coughed up his own blood as he fell to his knees gasping for air as death claimed his life. I watched as he died. Feeling some what proud, I dragged his lifeless body by the collar of his shirt around to the back of the Pentagon and into the shrubbery. I found a steel door and opened it, gaining entry to the contest. As I entered, Katelyn and Tyson, two bystanders, glared at me. Their uniforms were like ours, but a burnt yellow instead of navy. We began to quarrel because I was 'breaking the rules'. I then saw an opportunity. If I kill her I can use her name, and if he kills Tyson he can use his name. I whispered into Kevin's ear, still some-what angry, and he nodded his head.
I lunged at the girl, missing her purposely. Katelyn drew a long sword, and Tyson drew out a mace. They both circled Kevin and me. Katelyn lunged at me, I grabbed her sword's hilt and twisted it until I heard her wrist crack. She screamed in agony, dropping her weapon. I grabbed it, came towards her, but said, "Get out of the contest and I will spare your life, and make you a splint for your wrist. Wait outside the Pentagon for Kevin and I."
"Alright, I'll do it. Just please don't kill my brother, Tyson. He's all I have left," Katelyn begged me, crying heavily.
I looked to Kevin, he nodded. Tyson made his way over to his sister, and knelt beside her.
"I'm Tyson, and I'm eighteen. My sister is fourteen, and we've been on the run. We escaped a penitentiary in Florida."
"I am sorry, just wait for Kevin and I. We will come back, and we can stay together. As a group."
"But wait! What about Jason!" Katelyn shrieked looking worried.
"Who is he?" Kevin questioned, furrowing his brow.
"He is her boyfriend, please. That's my last request, and he's really strong," Tyson answered.
"Alright," I answered calmly, understanding the girl's feelings for a boy.
We turned around to notice a big figure standing against the door. It was a boy, tall, broad shoulders, wearing same uniforms as Tyson and Katelyn. He walked over to Katelyn, and made her a splint with the supplies we gave them. The couple smiled, and Tyson nodded for us to go.
We walked into the Pentagon, facing the arena, and just in time.
"Next up Tyson and Levi shall battle," said the announcer.
I stopped paying attention. Kevin had used Tyson's name. Kevin won each time Tyson was called. Katelyn was called, and my first opponent was a twelve year old, deranged African girl.
"Katelyn and Isis will fight next."
I walked to the arena, staring at my opponent. The bell rang. I lunged at her, full speed, and hit her in the ribs with the blade of my sword, leaving a bruise. I knocked her hip out of place with hilt, banging it against her hip until she screamed. She laid there on the ground bleeding from her ribs, smiling crazily. She tried getting back up, but failed as her hip jutted out in an unnatural manner. She coughed up blood onto the platform. As they dragged her in cuffs, she cackled, and a chill crawled down my spine.
"What a strange thing," the announcer commented. "Tyson and Blad will fight."
Blad came my way, checked me out, and winked at me. In return I winked back, kicked him between the legs, and he walked towards the platform cursing,
"Damn, bitch. All the ones with nice asses are bitches."
I intently watched as Kevin's face turned red. He lunged at Blad, severed Blad's hand off with his sword. Kevin stood above Blad looking pleased before he took the hilt of his sword and forced it in between Blad's eyes. Blad died instantly, and Kevin came to me, sat down, and looking some-what relieved. By that time, most of the younger contestants were cuffed and taken away, and by the final rounds hardly anyone was left except bulkier guys. I watched as they murdered each other, fighting to the death as more blood spilled onto the platform.
I watched as the men in white suits and gas masks carried away limp bodies to a room. The men had no expression, and they seemed more like machines because of their jerky motions. It was down to the last few people as I watched the announcer smile as even more blood trickled on the platform. I suspected that asshole to be the bastard controlling everything from the penitentiary to the government.
"Katelyn and Jacobi," he said.
I walked onto the platform, seeing a wasted boy about my age covered with scars carrying a silver and blood-spattered sword. He lunged at me but slid on the pool of blood around him. I didn't want to slaughter him, but I was striving to survive and fight to win my freedom, so I did it. I raised my sword and watched his mouth open as I beheaded him. The announcer and the two people left gasped in surprise as I handed the man in the white suit and the gas mask the head of my lifeless challenger.
I walked off the platform, seeing the two people remaining, a husky man and Kevin. Kevin, stupid Kevin. Why doesn't he feel the same way? I thought bitterly as I felt an ache in my chest.
"Tyson and Devin," the announcer said.
This time I watched after the bell rang as Kevin fought brutally, barely avoiding the sword of his rival. Devin caught Kevin off guard, and cut him right above the eye. Kevin then dragged his feet back and forth in the blood pool. He seemed to be ice skating, because he glided across the blood on his feet, trying to a good angle get under his opponent. Finally he ran, slid on his knees under Devin and split his foe right in half.
"Tyson and Katelyn," the announcer seemed pleased. "Which one shall live the boy or the girl?"
I slowly approached the platform looking into Kevin's eyes. The bell rang; I charged and swung my sword. I was so infuriated that I was weeping, and I couldn't see. I gave up and sat on my knees on the ground. He stood in front of me, looking into my hazel eyes.
"Do it," I dared him. "Just kill me, Kevin."
"I can't Abby."
"Why? It was so easy for you to shove me away!"
"Because," he continued softly as he knelt down beside me as if I had said nothing. "I love you, Abby. I can't murder you and live with that weight on my shoulders."
"I love you too, Kevin," I said to him, while I lay my sword down and gripped onto my dagger.
"What are you doing?" Kevin said, moving his hands on the hilt of my dagger. "You're going to get yourself killed."
"I know," I replied sniveling.
"I can't," Kevin cried out as he too shed tears.
"I know, so I will help."
Putting my hands on his, grasping the handle of my own dagger, I plunged the dagger's blade into my chest. I felt the unbearable pain as I pierced my own skin. The blood began to pour out of me like water.
"Abby! No! Don't go; stay with me please. What have you done?"
"If I had to choose between loving and being with you, and death, I'd use my last breath to say I love you. I love you Kevin," I whispered as I felt my eyes became heavy.
Kevin sobbed as I took in the my final breath on the final round of my life. The darkness slowly consumed me.

It remained a mystery as to which player the French champions were lining up, although their president, Jean-Michel Aulas, hinted that they would seek a direct replacement for the Ghanaian midfielder.
Aulas also accused the Chelsea manager, Jose Mourinho, of "unceasingly" telephoning Essien, suggesting he would be better off calling him and directly negotiating with Lyon. "They shouldn't take French clubs for fools," Aulas said. "Michael is worth between £31m and £35m and, because time has been wasted, I estimate our player will leave for £31m, while bringing in one Chelsea player.
"Rather than unceasingly calling the player to make it all the more sad, Mourinho would do better to call me directly. Chelsea will learn to know me."
Aulas revealed how he had told the Chelsea chief executive, Peter Kenyon, that the fee for Essien would be the same as the Blues were prepared to pay for the Liverpool captain, Steven Gerrard, earlier this summer. "Michael is one of the best defensive midfielders in the world," Aulas added, "superior or at least equal to Gerrard".
Earlier yesterday, Mourinho voiced his impatience at the ongoing difficulties in signing Essien. Chelsea hoped to lure Essien to Stamford Bridge in a £25m deal, but Aulas is remaining steadfast in his valuation. "I hope we are sure about that soon - he comes or he doesn't come," Mourinho said. "He comes, great. If he doesn't come, it's not a drama. But I need to know."
The midfield has been the biggest area of change since last season's Premiership triumph, with Scott Parker and Alexei Smertin leaving the club, and Mourinho is keen to strengthen there.
So far, the Blues have signed Asier del Horno from Athletic Bilbao and Le Havre's Lassana Diarra, with the strikers Hernan Crespo and Carlton Cole returning from loan spells.

Author has written 71 stories for Wrestling.
Hello world! I'm dreamscarred, I primarily write WWE slash fanfiction that usually revolves around Randy Orton in some shape or form. I tend to write: Candy (Randy Orton x Cody Rhodes), Randy Orton x Evan Bourne, Centon (Randy Orton x John) and some other random pairs. I write purely for FUN! No other reason, so if you enjoy read the things I write for fun thank you! I appreciate all the reviews and favorites I get so thank you to all of you that do. But again I want to say I write for fun, that means when it's not fun I'm not going to do it. I do not panic of silly things like mistakes because life is to short when you work full time and have other things going on. Writing is my stress relief and its fun, so I'm not going to stress over my fun got it? Good :) Enjoy me having fun through writing if you want and if you don't want that's fine I'm going to keep doing what I enjoy and encourage other to do what they enjoy too and not sweat the small stuff. :D

Australian Vehicles Sales Drop In March- FCAI
Australia's vehicle sales declined 17.1% annually in March, a report from the country's Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries or the FCAI said Friday. During the month, a total of 75,650 vehicles were sold.
The FCAI's Chief Executive, Andrew McKellar noted, this result is certainly down on a year ago but the extent of the fall in the market appears to have stabilized somewhat in recent months.
In the first quarter, 212,970 vehicles were sold, representing a 19.2% drop from the same period in the previous year.
McKellar said, Given the impact of the global economic downturn, new vehicle sales for the first quarter of 2009 are around the level we would expect them to be.
In March, Toyota was the best selling brand, having a market share of 22%, and sales totaling 16,608 vehicles. This was followed by the Holden, with a market share of 12.1% and sales of 9,188 vehicles. Ford was the third most popular brand, having a market share of 10%, and sales of 7,570 vehicles.

OX40 (D1S6L) Rabbit mAb (PE Conjugate) recognizes endogenous levels of total OX40 protein. This antibody binds the intracellular domain of human OX40 protein.Species Reactivity: Human
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the carboxy terminus of human OX40 protein.
This Cell Signaling Technology antibody is conjugated to phycoerythrin (PE) and tested in-house for direct flow cytometry analysis in human cells. The antibody is expected to exhibit the same species cross-reactivity as the unconjugated OX40 (D1S6L) Rabbit mAb #15123.
OX40 (TNFRSF4, CD134) is a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor superfamily that regulates T cell activity and immune responses. The OX40 protein contains four cysteine rich domains, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic tail containing a QEE motif (1,2). OX40 is primarily expressed on activated CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells, while the OX40 ligand (OX40L, TNFSF4, CD252) is predominantly expressed on activated antigen presenting cells (3-7). The engagement of OX40 with OX40L leads to the recruitment of TNF receptor-associated factors (TRAFs) and results in the formation of a TCR-independent signaling complex. One component of this complex, PKCθ, activates the NF-κB pathway (2,8). OX40 signaling through Akt can also enhance TCR signaling directly (9). Research studies indicate that the OX40L-OX40 pathway is associated with inflammation and autoimmune diseases (10). Additional research studies show that OX40 agonists augment anti-tumor immunity in several cancer types (11,12).

The fear is gone. The doubt too for that matter. Ditto the hesitation. A year into his comeback from the concussion-like symptoms that nearly derailed Sidney Crosby's career, the Pittsburgh Penguins superstar is back atop the NHL scoring race thanks to his unparalleled mix of artistry, speed and grit. It wasn't the avalanche of points - 50 and counting heading into Friday's game against the New York Islanders - that let Crosby's teammates know their captain was back at the top of his considerable powers. No, the proof lay in the tight places around the net where Crosby makes his living better than anyone else. ''To play down low in the defensive zone against him is a nightmare,'' Penguins forward Craig Adams said. ''It's a long way back, but I can't imagine a guy playing better than he is right now. You can't get the puck from him.'' Perhaps because Crosby doesn't have to worry about getting knocked around so much anymore. Don't get him wrong, the game has never been faster. The...

Yet much of British management and marketing is doing the equivalent, in an environment where innovation suffers the "death of a thousand cuts" and creativity is regarded with suspicion or outright derision.
After many years spent working in the creative services industry around the world, I have come to the conclusion that there is in Britain a deep-rooted cultural resistance to innovation. The French have the TGV, the Japanese their Bullet Train - and we have 1940s slam-door rolling-stock. Why?
I blame two interlinked facets of British society - our education system and our class system. It is a fact that most opinion-formers in the UK, including Richard Branson and the Prime Minister, were educated either within the public-school system or at schools modelled on this approach. Richard Branson's creative, entrepreneurial mind did not fit this model, and he was expelled - just as I was.
This style of education, central to British culture and government, is based on the "learn, don't question" principle. As my teachers used to say: "You know the answer perfectly well. You're just trying to be clever." Founded at a time when schools' avowed aim was to provide empire-builders, this philosophy produced an officer cadre whose goal was not to use initiative but to carry out orders. It set out to stifle creativity in the belief that there was only one way of doing things.
Linked to this is the British sense of class that continues to be a source of amazement and derision in the world of global business. In how many other countries could one tell, by accent alone, not merely which class someone came from, but which substratum? Our national psyche has inherited the pre-Industrial Revolution distinction between "gentlemen" and "trade". You don't believe me? Then why do the British so often despise salesmen? In the US, to be a salesman - independent, self-sufficient, wealth-creating - is something to be proud of.
As herd primates, it is in our genes to establish "pecking orders", to submit to or overthrow the dominant male in the group. In this respect we are no different from baboons. But the British class system reinforces and endorses this instinct at a human level - the master/servant relationship.
In my own field, brand and design consultancy, this ethos affects our relationships both with our clients and with our colleagues.
In our clients, it gives rise to "supplier mentality", an inability to trust in the expertise of consultants - which by definition is an expertise our clients do not share. This leads to an "I pay the bills, you do as I say" attitude, created and nurtured by our class system. Genuine, cross-disciplinary innovation - just about the only sort that works - is well-nigh impossible. This is in stark contrast to the situation in relatively classless societies such as Scandinavia or Germany, where most clients respect and act on the advice and expertise of the consultants they have retained.
Supplier mentality affects the way creative consultancies themselves are structured. Advertising agencies, brand consultancies and packaging designers are organised according to principles, beliefs and systems current before the turn of the century. In those days, "gentlemen" in suits wrote copy and represented the agency, while "the inky chaps in the studio" did the illustrations. Little has changed. Creativity is regarded as Trade, very much as a gentleman farmer would have regarded a blacksmith in 1899. The "Suit" takes the brief from the client and instructs the "Creatives" what to do. In due course, the Creatives show what they have done to the Suit, and the results are presented to the client. Creatives who dispute the brief are "stroppy"; Suits who don't like the work "don't understand creativity". The two tribes remain at loggerheads. In the meantime, creativity, like desire in a straitjacket, quietly withers away.
Commercially successful innovation cannot take place without creativity. Witness Britain's performance as outlined in Agamus Consult's recent study of major manufacturing companies, "Stars of Innovation". Out of 13 European and North American countries, Britain came sixth in terms of actual innovation, behind the US, Canada, Switzerland, Germany and Japan. But - and here's the frightening bit - we are perceived by others as being even less innovative (ninth) and we are 12th when it comes to the pressure we put on ourselves to innovate. Yet our innovation projects are the second most labour-intensive. So we use more employees, to innovate less effectively, than just about everyone else - and yet we don't actually think innovation is important. And this in a business climate where the speed of innovation, some say, is doubling every two years.
What's the solution? It will take a generation to change the way our education and our class-ridden society have taught us to think. Belatedly, government is on to this, at least in intention. The recent report Creativity, Culture and Education from the Department for Education sets out the requirements for developing creative minds: "We believe that the habit of learning has to be complemented by the disposition to be creative."
To force a switch from the reactive to the innovative means creating new management and reporting systems that put an end to the reiterative, approval-seeking approach to decision-making. It means breaking down functional barriers - and the tribal cultures that go with them. It means an enforced meritocracy (and maybe an end to job titles and individual offices). Above all, it means recognition, at an organisational level, that creative innovation is not the prerequisite of any one department, and that "informed intuition" - the basis for nearly all great inventions - has more value than sterile intellectualism or fact-based thinking.
Who knows - the British may shake off that straitjacket yet.

The p21-activated kinases (PAKs) are serine-threonine kinases that bind to the active forms of Cdc42 and Rac. They are divided into two groups, the first of which include PAK1, 2 and 3, and can be activated by Cdc42/Rac binding. Group 1 PAKs contain an autoinhibitory domain whose activity is regulated by Cdc42/Rac binding. The group 1 PAKs are known to be involved in cellular processes such as gene transcription, apoptosis, and cell morphology and motility. Much less is known about the second group, which includes PAK4, 5 and 6. These proteins are not activated by Cdc42/Rac binding. PAK5 was initially identified as a kinase expressed primarily in brain that while possessing a kinase domain and GTPase binding domain similar to PAK4 and PAK6, is completely different from both. Expression of PAK5 in neural based cell lines resulted in neurite outgrowth suggesting that PAK5 may be involved in regulating the cytoskeletal changes necessary for promoting neurite outgrowth. Other experiments suggest that unlike the other PAKs, PAK5 may inhibit apoptosis by phosphorylating the Bcl-2 family member Bad.

Hair regimen:
Hair regimen:
I wash & deep condition my hair 1-2 times a week, usually with Jane Carter or Giovanni products. After applying a leave-in conditioner, I braid, twist, or bantu knot my hair in about 9-12 sections. After it air dries, I take down my hair & fluff, using my trusty hair pick to comb at the roots & disguise any parts. I moisturize with water & Nourish & Shine 1-2 times a week, and wear a satin bonnet nightly.
I love wearing my hair out; wash & gos, braid outs, twist outs, bantu knot outs; & soon to add...blow outs.
What you love bout being natural:
Tough one…I'm not sure exactly. I guess I love how I can wash & go right after wearing a braid out, and have my husband ask me if I've cut my hair. The shrinkage is funny...sometimes. The number of different looks being natural can achieve is also nice!

Lucerne, Pilatusbahn Railway & Cable Car
This morning, after breakfast, we travel to the charming city of Lucerne on our included excursion. Nestling amongst the foothills of the Alps, Lucerne is home to the Hofkirche Cathedral, Rittersche Palace and one of the finest baroque churches in Switzerland, the Jesuit church. Known as the 'city of lights', Lucerne has plenty to offer its visitor, from strolling around an art gallery, exploring the shops, or simply relaxing in one of the cafes. Be sure to visit the 'Zytturm', which boasts the oldest public clock in Lucerne. Dating from 1535 the clock always strikes the hour one minute ahead of all the other clocks in the city. During the day there will the chance to join an optional cruise on the lake. Then, this afternoon, why not join our optional excursion on the Pilatusbahn, the world's steepest cog railway, to the summit of Mount Pilatus? The Pilatusbahn has been in operation since 1889 and climbs Mount Pilatus at a 48% gradient, rising 6,791 feet above sea level. The original passenger steam cars had an average speed of 2-3mph and took more than 1 hour to reach the summit. Today the electric cars run at 6mph and take just 30 minutes to reach the top. We descend the mountain by cable car, which offers some spectacular views of the area.

We board the railway in the village of Lauterbrunnen and travel up through the spectacular scenery to the Klein Scheidegg Mountain pass, at the foot of the notorious Eiger North Wall. From Klein Scheidegg we continue to the picturesque traditional mountain village of Grindelwald where you will have time at leisure to explore, and weather permitting, enjoy the magnificent views of the famous Eiger Mountain.

Frequently asked questions about accommodation
If you prefer, then you can join the tour at the hotel. To do this, we will require a copy of your passport for identification purposes and you must advise us at the time of booking.
No reduction will be given if you should choose to do this.
We are unable to guarantee that the hotel will be able to meet your dietary requirements. We find that the majority of European countries do not generally cater for vegetarians and that the meal supplied may well be what everyone else is having minus the meat.
We will of course endeavour to arrange for a vegetarian meal at the hotel. We do however suggest that you advise us of your dietary requests at the time of booking and recommend that you speak to the receptionist on arrival with regard to your request.
