"My cats love these. They are quick and simple to make. For anyone unfamiliar with the yarn that is suggested for the pattern, it is a fingering weight, 4 ply yarn that is 100 percent cotton. I used worsted weight and a 3.5mm hook for mine, so I wouldnt have to worry about the cats pulling the stuffing out through any holes."

The link to the crochet pattern takes me to a different posting on this site where the project is included within a free ebook with 16 other easy crafts.

"What does (K1. Inc 1 st in next st.) mean? I think st means stitch, but I don't understand how to do what it says. Thank you "
"This is absolutely stunning! I love it. I love vintage China and this is one way to display it. For my own personal taste I would use less pieces in the back, or even paint the background to make it pop more, and use the broken pieces on,y around the border as a type of frame. But that's just me. Alternatively, using less cups and just feature a ew with the broken pieces may set them off better. But all in all this is a great idea and display! Love it!"

- Using a glass cutter, cut two 1" X 1" squares of Clear glass. Clean glass using paper towel moistened with water. Completely dry the surface of the glass with a lint free cloth.
- Cut a 2" X 2" piece of kiln paper. Remove the lid from the Fuseworks™ Kiln. Place the kiln paper on the kiln base.
- Position the 1" clear squares on the center of the kiln paper, two high. Artistically position the confetti glass on the glass surface to your liking.
- Carefully set the base with glass inside the microwave and cover with kiln lid. Fuse in a 1200 watt microwave on high for 2 minutes. If using a microwave with a lower wattage, increase the time to 2 minutes and 30 seconds. PLEASE NOTE: All microwave and kiln combinations will have different firing patterns. Be sure to take careful notes and log all fusing times for future use.
- After time is up, open microwave and, using Hot Mitts, carefully lift the lid enough to inspect the fusing process. Glass is fused when the edges of the glass are nicely rounded. If necessary, continue to microwave at 30 second increments until desired results are achieved.
- Remove kiln from microwave using the Hot Mitts and place on a heat resistant surface. Cool the kiln for at least 30 minutes WITH THE LID ON.
- Caution: Removing the lid or peeking under the lid during the cooling stage may result in your piece cracking. Glass remains hot for a long time handle with great care.
- Glue a bail to the back of the fused glass square and allow it to dry according the manufacturer's directions.

Q: Is investing in the Blackstone initial public offering a good idea?
A: Blackstone (BX) is one of the world's leading private-equity firms. It uses one part brains and one part financial engineering to buy undervalued companies, fix them up and sell them for a profit.
Private-equity firms have become a major force on Wall Street. Since interest rates have been low, these firms can borrow money cheaply to buy publicly traded companies for a premium to their current stock price, put very little cash down and sell them for rich profits.
Blackstone has an excellent reputation and track record, explaining why today's IPO has been so eagerly anticipated. It also has an interesting, but vague, pact with a Chinese state investment company that plans to invest $3 billion in the company.
If you do decide to buy Blackstone shares, be aware of two things. First, if you buy the shares, you're not an investor in one of Blackstone's investment funds. You own a piece of the parent company. It's similar to buying shares in a publicly traded mutual fund company, like Franklin Resources; you own shares in the parent, not the funds Franklin runs.
That's an important distinction. You shouldn't necessarily expect the kind of returns that large institutional investors have gotten by investing in Blackstone funds. The Blackstone company collects 1% to 1.5% of the money its customers give it each year, plus 20% of any profits from the funds.
The other thing you need to pay attention to is the valuation. Investment pros I talk to think the stock should have a similar valuation to mutual fund companies and Fortress Investment Group (FIG), a hedge fund that went public earlier in the year. If the price-to-earnings ratio (P-E) goes above 20, which is typical in the asset management industry, beware. And remember that Fortress Investment Group has been a poor investment so far and is trading below the price on its first day of trading.
If that's not enough to think about, last week, some key members of Congress, both Democrat and Republican, said they would consider raising taxes on profits at private-equity firms that go public. That could affect profits for a lot of people.

A promising treatment being developed for depressed ejection fraction is gene therapy. Researchers continue to explore the nature of stem cells in the treatment of many diseases. Stem cells are immature cells, meaning they have the ability to develop into a variety of mature cells, such as red or white blood cells, platelets, heart muscle cells, brain cells, etc. For example, recent studies have reported encouraging findings after transplanting stem cells taken from patients' own bone marrow into heart muscle following a heart attack. For heart failure patients, bone marrow cells have been injected into the heart's left ventricle. Other studies have shown promising results in the use of muscle cells taken from other parts of the body (e.g., thigh) and injecting them into damaged areas of the heart. It is believed that such skeletal muscle helps to restore the contractile properties of affected heart muscle, thus improving ejection fraction. However, these treatments are still experimental and have not been approved by the FDA.

An email intercepted by the NSA on grounds of suspicious activity. Was dropped shortly thereafter due to insufficient evidence.
To: firstname.lastname@example.com
From: email@example.com
I went out with Chiro to get some food, and pick up some more Oxycodone. I know you said we shouldn't steal from them, but... We get the nightmares, too, Katie. Chiro especially.
Didn't want to disturb you - saw you were busy sharpening your Kukri. And I know you check the computer every night... God knows why, but you do.
BTW, I wanted to talk to you about something. I've noticed that whenever a fog bank descends on our neighborhood, this kid comes out... He wears loose jeans and a red hoodie (hood up) and has a gas mask on. This morning, I saw what he was doing.
He was writing graffiti on the wall northeast of the 7-11, opposite our apartment exactly. As in, I get an uncannily good angle of it if I look out the kitchen window. Weirdest thing, though, was that - this morning, when I was watching him - as soon as he finished, he turned around slowly and stopped his gaze at our apartment building. He looked up and pointed at... I swear to God he was pointing at me, Katie. Then he disappeared.
The graffiti was some odd shit, though. All it said was "it's You." in bold red letters. Disturbing, am I right?
Catch you later,

I'll go along with Old Sarge. Here's why.
While he held his first job after college (and apparently the only one in private sector, and for a short time) Obama wrote to his mother that he hated it because it was working for the enemy!
In his ghost written book, he confesses that during college years he was drawn to Marxist professors. These are documented admissions, and there may be others (I haven't read his two books, and won't read them) to illustrate Obama's views and loyalties.

The head of Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer's London arbitration group Constantine Partasides is leaving the firm to launch an arbitration boutique with former partner Jan Paulsson.
Paris partner Georgios Petrochilos is also leaving the magic circle firm to work with Paulsson and Partasides. It is thought that at least three partners from other firms are also quitting to join the as yet unnamed new arbitration-focused outfit.
Former Freshfields arbitration heavyweight Paulsson retired from the firm last year (12 March 2013).
Together with Petrochilos he served as adviser to the Uncitral secretariat in connection with the revision of the Uncitral arbitration rules. Petrochilos is currently representing Greece as a delegate to Uncitral, according to Freshfields website.
Petrochilos is also the Greek delegate on the International Arbitration Committee of the International Law Association, a member of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, and a member of several other professional or academic bodies.
Dispute resolution partner Partasides, who heads Freshfields' international arbitration group in London, has more than 15 years' experience acting in more than 50 ad hoc and institutional arbitrations.
Partasides spent 10 years practising in the Paris office before returning to the UK in 2007 to head up the arbitration team in London. His recent matters include representing as lead counsel more than six oil majors in different multibillion dollar disputes with state parties in respect of investments across three continents; acting for a telecoms operator in a treaty claim regarding an expropriation of a multibillion dollar business in North Africa; and representing a leading investment bank in a joint venture dispute with its Italian partner concerning a hydroelectric project in Albania
Lucy Reed, Freshfields' head of the international arbitration group, said: "We can confirm that partners Constantine Partasides and Georgios Petrochilos have decided to leave the firm and start an independent arbitration practice. As valued friends and colleagues we will be sorry to see them leave and we thank them for their contribution to the development of Freshfields' world-leading arbitration practice. We wish them well in their new endeavour."

Tracking an order
Once you place an order, we will send you a tracking number so that you can track the order and know the day it will be delivered.
If you are not at home when they try and deliver, the courier will leave a note about making a second delivery or arranging a collection at their facility. At Decántalo we can make a note for the courier, but generally, couriers do not tend to call before making a delivery.
Importing wine to Switzerland
If you live in Switzerland and want to buy wine on Decantalo.com it constitutes as exporting wine out of the EU, and importing it into Switzerland. We've written some guidelines that you must take into account, along with a practical example so that you understand what you're going to pay in total, between what you pay to Decantalo and what you pay to Swiss customs.
- At Decantalo you don't have to pay the 21% VAT in Spain, since you will pay the 8% taxes in Switzerland. When you select Switzerland as your chosen country, 21% VAT will automatically be
deducted for you.
- To import wines into Switzerland, you must pay customs duties.
For up to 18 bottles of wine:
Decántalo has a special arrangement with DHL for the import of up to 18 bottles, so you do not need to pay handling fees themselves, just the cost of importing the alcohol if you choose this company for your shipping. You will save around 25CHF if you import 18 bottles. If you choose UPS for your shipment, you must pay a handling fee of 20CHF to UPS.
For up to 60 bottles of wine:
If you buy up to 60 bottles, you will have to pay a handling fee of 20CHF to UPS.
For more than 60 bottles of wine:
You must pay the provider a customs duties handling fee, this is between 5% and 10% of the total purchase.
- When you receive your order, you will have to pay the following fees to Swiss customs:
2.45 CHF per litre of Alcohol imported.
8% VAT on the total cost of the order.
Depending on the number of bottles you have to pay a handling fee. (See above)
Here's an example: The final cost for sending 18 bottles with a retail price of €26.90 per bottle
Tax-free price for the 18 bottles: 400.16 euros (487.32 CHF)
Shipping costs to Switzerland: 37 euros (45.98 CHF)
Tax on litres of alcohol imported (13.5 litres imported): 33.07 CHF
8% Swiss tax: 44.82 CHF
Final cost per bottle: 33.98 CHF
Thanks to the packaging that we send our orders in, it is not very common for the bottles to break.
However, if a break does occur, do not worry!
We will resend your order.
Please take into account that this table is not valid for Magnums and special gifts. These orders are heavier than 75cl bottles and require special packaging.
You can find out the shipping cost of your order in the shopping basket, by selecting the destination where you would like to send it.
Large volume orders
For orders over 90 bottles, it is possible to send them with a palletised service.
Shipment in original wooden boxes.
We ship the wine in special boxes in order to protect them from any possible breakages.
If you still want us to send wine in the original wooden boxes then please send us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com

While living in the German Democratic Republic in the early 70s, I was approached by the Stasi urging me to supply them with information because my boyfriend was a British scientist. Reading your story of the approach by the police to the eco activist (Police: we have network of informers among protesters, 25 April), I was struck by how eerily reminiscent this was. Of course, under socialism there was no financial inducement. I solved my problem then by leaving for England.

I've also got a copy of the cherishable Enquire Within on Everything (Comment, 27 April). There is even a piece on marriage guidance. According to the anonymous author, "the newspaper is the wife's friend, for it keeps the husband at home and supplies capital topics for every-day table talk".
Lesley Burton
Gosport, Hampshire
Perhaps in the 31 years between the publication of David McKie's Enquire Within and mine, the spread of indoor plumbing made those frequent ablutions more accessible to the aspiring middle classes the book is aimed at. My 1860 edition (bought about 30 years ago for 10p and with no missing pages) starts the index with "About or With" (when to use which), and then rushes straight on to "Accidents in Carriages". And I have only five entries for zinc ... The unstoppable march of progress, I suppose.

Since this series is going to run and run (Letters, passim), I suggest you find time for the clock museum at Upton Hall near Newark.

Over the years, I've been fortunate to work in a wide range of software development projects from banking automation devices (e.g. ATMs) and interpreters to distributed file systems. In addition, I spent the last 8 years doing research in large-scale software development organizations. My research focused on devising approaches to extract technical, social, relational and organizational data from software development data repositories or collaborative or social media tools in order to derive metrics and perform quantitative analyses to uncover ways to improve software development productivity and quality. Recently, I returned to development with a wealth of experiences and eager to once again contribute to creating and delivering innovative and high quality software systems.

Taylor Swift can never go wrong on the red carpet. It's like she keeps a packet of ethereal shimmer in her vanity kit and dabs it on every time she arrives for a do. And that's enough to razzle dazzle us. The singer sparkled in a gorgeous J Mendel gown. The strapless outfit with tulle overlay and feathered organza detailing, went spectacularly well with a pair of Lorraine Schwartz chandelier earrings.

Growing PainMature
Katie shot forward and grabbed Tracey and yanked her back. "No Tracey! That's what he wants! Don't be fooled and get yourself hurt!" pleaded Katie. She calmed down and just shut the door in John's face. "I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking straight!" apologized Tracey. She smiled and then both of them walked away from the door. Knowing he would never give up they headed out the back door and went to Tracey's house.
As they left, John banged on the door repeatedly, but got no answer. 'Damn it, those bitches are ignoring me!' he thought as he walked away and went down the street. He was determined to get them, but he decided to be patient making the women suffer for longer. He knew they'd be paranoid and would be constantly looking back over their shoulders. He believed the paranoia would eat away at them or just drive them crazy and insecure.
They quickly reached Tracey's and ran inside. "I see the window hasn't been replaced." commented Katie as Tracey locked the door. "That's because I came to help you. You're more important to me than a window." admitted Tracey. She smiled and headed into the kitchen. Katie sat on the sofa and looked around at the bare room. The room contained a black coffee table, black armchair and a lovely black two seater sofa. In the corner was a pile of boxes containing ornaments, books etc. "Hey Tracey, when you planning on unpacking and decorating this place?" asked Katie. She stood and walked into the kitchen.
She was shocked by the sight of Tracey cutting her arm repeatedly with a sharp knife. "What the hell are you doing? Stop it, please stop!" shouted Katie. Tracey dropped the knife and cried, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean for you to see that! It won't happen again!" she promised. Katie walked over to her and asked, "Where's your first aid box?" She smiled and pointed at her corner cupboard, so Katie looked there and found the box. Tracey held still whilst Katie dressed the cuts. "If you need to talk, I'm here for you! You're not alone anymore!" assured Katie. She smiled at her and then walked into the living room.
Katie joined Tracey in the living room, where they sat in total silence for 10 minutes. After the 10 minutes Tracey started to explain, "You wanted to know why I split with my ex, right?" Katie nodded and so Tracey continued, "Well at the start of the relationship we had no problems at all, then after two months he started to take drugs. He was constantly in trouble with the cops, which stressed me out." she paused for a second and took a deep breathe. Katie took her hand and smiled at her. So she continued, "One weekend he went out to meet a mate, but some guy came to my house looking for him. Realising he wasn't in, the guy trashed my house and left me tied up on the kitchen floor. I remained there for a whole day, all because my ex had gotten arrested." Katie stopped her there and just embraced her for a hug.
"It's okay I get the idea, the build up of pain must be unbearable. Just remember that's in the past, you're safer now, I promise!" assured Katie caringly. She thanked her and walked out into the kitchen, where she picked the knife up and washed it. Katie was totally cautious and kept a close eye on Tracey for a while. 'I can't believe she caught me. I'm gonna have to be more sly next time. The stress is increasing and so is the pain.' thought Tracey. Katie walked up to her and placed her hands on her hips, her head on her shoulder and her lips on her neck. She gave her a tender peck and then whispered, "I want to help you through this, as your friend or even as your girlfriend."
Tracey pulled her hands from the water, wiped them on herself and turned to face Katie. "You honestly care right?" she nodded and so she added, "Well then, will you go out with me?" Katie wrapped her arms around her and gave her a tender kiss on the lips. "I would love to go out with you, on the condition that you'll allow me to sort my ex out first." she answered happily. Tracey accepted and then went into the living room and searched through her boxes.

1) Ilona Shwartz' pictures of girls posing with their dolls.
If one of these had been me, I'd be brandishing a Transformer. My current look is Kings' fault because I'm actually a Very Short Hair Girl and then my mum said I have to wear some makeup if I'm going to chop my hair off. Little Miss is already making me substantially girlier and it's… a little strange. And it's not even like she's very girly, right now we're still in that charming phase of flinging balls of a certain color out of the ball pool. Today it was orange balls. Few days ago we had a bone to pick with purple balls. It's great when you're Queen of Your Private Ball Pool.
I'm supposed to be getting stuff for Kings to furnish an office, what d'you think, Private Ball Pool for Kings? Warhol can have a painting of a can of soup, why not? For That Tough Day At Work, When You Feel Nothing's In Your Control. You May Fling Only Purple Balls Out Of The Pool.
2) Betcha already seen this: The "Super sexy, summertime anti-pervert full-leg-of-hair stockings, essential for all young girls going out" (translated from the Chinese). If you follow the link, you'll know why I didn't put a picture up here. I just…. couldn't.
3) World Bank begins allocation of billions to help Asian countries deal with climate change. No, it's not a fun story. Just a should-probably-be-at-least-vaguely-aware-of story. Singapore was having a haze moment, so this is kind of a sympathy link; there's this whole squeaky clean let's-ban-the-sale-of-chewing-gum-so-it-doesn't-leave-that-many-gum-marks-on-our-pavements-thing and then some other annoyingly inconsiderate country messes with their air. I mean it's like they don't even get to sell gum and they've still got haze?
4) 11 Photos That Definitively Prove Math Is Really, Really Hard.
Some were too hard. Some were a fun way to get Rockstar to look at a little math.
5) I like this one: 7 actresses who were told they were not pretty enough.
I don't know all of them because I'm not a cool enough person, but this is here for my own reasons: there are not many inspirations I find as effective in spurring one's self on to achieve whatever it is you might want to achieve.
One of the things Rockstar used to get was, "He's too little to be here" (at a kids' Bible class we once tried out outside our regular church). Kids'll say anything right, sometimes it's just really hard to police it, I agree. You'd think the mum would mind the comment though right, but the mum followed it by asking me something like, "Umm, how old is he?" Umm, my child can hear you. The little ears work just fine.
For awhile I would tell Rockstar he was littlest because he was youngest. But when I was pregnant with Little Miss, one day he quietly asked, "Will the baby grow to be taller than me someday?"
And so I said maybe. But not for a very, very long time, possibly by which time you would no longer care. And regardless, you will always be her older brother. And then Little Miss came, and she totally looks up to him, and so he knows it's true.
And then I said every time it makes you angry when some kid says something like you're too little to be in that class, kick their butt at the classwork. It is just the most satisfying, legitimate way – prove them wrong, and you need never even retort.
Hence 7 actresses. You cannot change (easily and without plastic surgery, anyways) what God has given you, but boy can you figure out a way to do the absolute best you can with the hand you're dealt. People who say idiotic things like "you're not pretty enough" are just doing you a favor. By painting a big fat bullseye on their behind.
6) The Bacon Themed Wedding. Way to change the subject.
7) National Geographic's Best Wildlife Photos 2013
Some are really, really, REALLY cute. Darn why did I have to set my title thus, this week?
8) 6 houses painted in protest.
Around now is probably when I should give up on cringeworthy because it's The Rockstars' turn…
And the nerds shall rule the world. And weekend. Rockstar is showing Little Miss the pictures in the National Geographic he just had me buy at 7-11 because he was taken by the pictures of the Mars Curiosity Rover… and some planet or other blowing up on the cover. So he's busy telling Princess something about how planets and meteorites came into being or something else to do with a planet or sun blowing up.

NightMare School
This was my story for NaNoWriMo [National November Writing Month]. We had to come up with a new idea at the beginning of the month and had till the end of the month to write a novel that was at least 50,000 words long. I accomplished my goal and was quite proud of it...Haha, even if the story isn't all that great...Keep in mind that this WAS my first long completed work. Hope you enjoy it (:
As a breeze blew through the still forest, the grass bent and the leaves shook. The water rippled across the small lake and reflected back the calm blue sky.
Neytiri's long pitch black hair swept across her face as she steadied her bow hand. She was perched high up in a tree looking down into a meadow. The large doe came into her field of vision again and she took aim. She paused as she noticed a smaller deer come out from behind a tree and join the doe. The two cheetahs at either of her tree's sides snarled, ready to leap.
Neytiri sighed and lowered her bow. She couldn't take a child from its mother. She stood up and leaped down out of her tree, landing between her cheetahs. She snapped her fingers to call them off and turned to head back to the Hunters' camp. The two big cats followed her, snarling angrily at being called off from their hunt.
"Nothing?" Jaydo Star, her oldest friend, asked as she neared camp. His long dark brown hair nearly came into his eyes and his green eyes were twinkling with amusement. His large golden lion prowled at his side and came up to greet Neytiri's twin cheetahs.
Neytiri shook her head.
Jaydo looked surprised. "That's the first time ever you've come back with nothing, you know that, right?" He grinned and she punched him in the shoulder. "Hey, what was that for?" he asked with a look of hurt.
Neytiri just grinned in response and walked past the safety line and into camp.
The Hunters were temporarily set up for the time being, as they had been hunting a Great Demon. But after tracking the beast for five days, the trail had gone cold andGriffin, the Head Huntress and Neytiri's mother, had decided not to waste any more time with it. They were now heading back towards their normal camping grounds, a two day journey from where they were now.
Jaydo walked beside her as they headed to the center of the camp, where their tents were. Neytiri's cheetahs and Jay's lion followed right behind them.
"Neytiri, you didn't catch anything?" Neytiri turned to see Zaiko, the Clan's self proclaimed cook. "And I was so hoping to use one of your wonderful catches…" He got a look of fantasy in his face as he looked up into the trees around the camp. Neytiri giggled. Zaiko was only a few years older than her, and everyone in camp knew he had a huge crush on Neytiri.
Neytiri waved him off and entered the tent she shared with her mother. Inside,Griffinwas sitting on her bed, staring straight ahead at the tent wall. Her large snow white wolf sat at her feet with its large fluffy tail wrapped around its body. Neytiri's cheetah's joined her and the three animals dropped their heads to their paws and closed their eyes.
Griffinhad the same pitch black hair as Neytiri, thoughGriffin's hair was cut right below the shoulders. She had blue eyes the same shade as Neytiri's and they also shared the same dark skin.
"What's wrong, Mother?" Neytiri asked, sitting down on the bed beside her.
Griffinlooked at Neytiri and smiled. "Nothing, Daughter."
Neytiri shook her head. "Don't lie, Mother. I saw Zarina, Spirit, and Tara leave your tent earlier. What happened?"
Griffin's smile turned to a frown. "You remember the scouts we sent out a few days ago?"
Neytiri nodded.
"They still haven't returned."
Neytiri thought this over. "They could just be running late," she suggested.
"Then one of them should have been sent ahead to warn us of their tardiness."
Neytiri studied her mother. "What else could it have been?"
Griffinseemed to pause, as though hesitant to release information.
"Mother, what do you know?" Neytiri pressed.
Griffinsighed. "There's no stopping your stubbornness, now is there?"
Neytiri shook her head. "Not when I learned it from you."
"Well, we've received word form the other Clan about a Darkness that's been…killing Hunters."
"Darkness?" Neytiri questioned with wide eyes.
Griffinnodded. "We don't know what exactly it is yet, but if those scouts aren't back by tomorrow, we can assume they've been killed by this Darkness."
Neytiri glanced out through the flap in the tent to where Hunters were packing up, getting ready to move on.
"Have you told their families?" she turned back to her mother.
Griffinshook her head, blue eyes brimming with sadness. "I want to wait until we are certain their children aren't coming back before breaking the news."
"Is that wise?" Neytiri questioned.
Griffin's blue eyes flashed as she sharply turned to look at her daughter. But before she could say anything striking, she calmed down and sighed. "I don't know, Daughter. But what else can I do?"
Neytiri nodded. She stood up and stretched. "I'm sorry, Mother." She turned toward the flap of the tent. "I'm going to go out with Jay to train Taki. I'll be back later."Griffinsimply nodded in response.
Neytiri stepped out of the tent and felt like she was walking into another world. Her mother's tent was always gloomy and full of stress. But out in the camp, under the bright sun, life was lived to its fullest by the Hunters. They didn't have the worries of leading and making decisions that would affect everyone around them.
"Hey, Ney, wanna go out?" Neytiri turned to see little Taki running her way. Taki was twelve with wavy brown hair and green eyes. She was always smiling and ready for anything. Neytiri and Jaydo had taken the responsibility of training her together.
In the Clan parents didn't train their own children becauseGriffinthought mothers and fathers would be too kind and easy on their own children. And so the in-training children were often given to friends to be trained.
"I was just coming out to find you, actually," Neytiri replied with a smile.
"Where's Jaydo?" Taki questioned.
"I don't know. Why don't we go find him?" Neytiri led her young apprentice a few tents away to where Jaydo shared a tent with Zarina, the Clan healer. Jaydo's parents had died when he was very young.Griffinhad taken him in as her own and trained him alongside Neytiri. The two were extremely close. But recently Jaydo had taken up residence with Zarina because he no longer wanted to intrude uponGriffin's hospitality.
"Jay?" Neytiri called into the tent.
Zarina's head popped out with a bright smile on her face. "How can I help you, Tiri?"
"I was just wondering if Jay was here," Neytiri replied with a smile.
Zarina nodded. "Come on in. He's getting his gear together. He was just about to go out to find you guys." Zarina led the way back into her large tent where she kept all her potions and ointments and healing herbs. Zarina had dark brown hair that came down nearly to her knees. She had the most striking gray eyes Neytiri had ever seen.
Inside her tent, Jaydo sat on a bed pulling on boots and strapping his twin daggers to his belt. "Ready to go?" He asked when he saw Neytiri and Taki.
Taki nodded, smiling.
"Then let's go." Jaydo got to his feet and led the way out of Zarina's tent and through the camp. Neytiri saw Zaiko grilling some kind of meat. Someone else must have gone out to catch something.
"Hey, are you three going out for some training?" Neytiri turned to her right to see Tara, one of the oldest Hunters in camp and one ofGriffin's advisors, standing in front of her tent.
"We sure are!" Taki exclaimed excitedly.
"Mind if I join you with Traito?"Taraasked.
"Of course not," Neytiri replied with a smile.
"We'd love to have you guys along," Jaydo added.
Taranodded. "Just one second." She walked over to a tent across from her own and stepped inside, the flap closing behind her. She came back out a few moments later with a little boy about thirteen. He had short black hair and blue eyes. Neytiri noticed he didn't smile asTaraintroduced him to her and Jaydo. In fact, he didn't respond at all.
Tarafrowned at him, but smiled as she turned back to Neytiri and Jaydo. "Ready to go?"
Jaydo nodded and continued to lead them into the woods. They passed by the stakes that marked the safety magic surrounding the camp. Once they were far enough away to not hear the sounds of camp anymore, Jaydo stopped and turned to face the rest of the group.
"How about a bit of stealth hunting, huh?" he asked with a grin. Jay was the most silent person Neytiri had ever met. He could probably sneak up onGriffinif he wanted to.
Taki nodded in excitement. "Stealth training! My favorite!" Neytiri noticed the idea of training didn't elicit a response from Traito, though.
As Jaydo led Taki and Traito away, Neytiri stepped closer toTara.
"What's with the kid?" she asked.
Taralooked after the boy with sad blue eyes. Her short blond hair swept into her face with a gust of wind.
"His mother was one of the scouts."Taradidn't say anymore. She turned to face Neytiri. Neytiri's look of understanding must have toldTarathat she already knew what the situation was with the missing scouts.
"Did you tell him?" Neytiri asked quietly.
"No, but I think he's guessed. It's been six days. They should have been back two days ago."
Neytiri nodded. "But we can't be sure. Not yet."
Tarasmiled solemnly. "Hope is good to keep. Just don't let it blind you."Taraturned back to where Jaydo had disappeared with the apprentices. "The life of a Hunter doesn't hold much hope in it. You have to be ready to accept death."
Neytiri nodded.Taraknew better than any Hunter what it was like to lose. She had had three sons and four daughters, but all three sons and three of the daughters had died before they reached the age of fifteen. She was highly protective of her last daughter, who was twenty-four now. He husband, Spirit, was overly protective of both Tara and their daughter.
"Hey, you guys coming?" Neytiri turned to see Jaydo, a grin playing on his face.
"What do you have them following?" Neytiri asked worriedly.
"Nothing too difficult." Jaydo turned and dashed back into the trees. Neytiri and Tara followed slowly. As they came upon a clearing, Neytiri saw Jaydo sitting up in a tree as Taki and Traito tracked Budgekaki tracks.
"Seriously?" Neytiri whispered in Jaydo's ears as she hopped onto the branch next to him.Tarahad jumped into a tree across from them. "A Budgekaki? You know what happens if they actually find it, right?"
Jaydo grinned widely. "I'm right here, aren't I?"
"What worries me,"Tarasaid quietly, "is what a Budgekaki is doing so close to camp." She was watching the two apprentices intently, scanning the area for the demon-creature. Neytiri looked down, too. A Budgekaki was like a Shadow Creature, but much worse. Shadow Creatures had minds and could think as well as humans and Hunters. But a demon-creature had no intelligence and could only think to kill and destroy. Not quite a demon, but not exactly a human either.
Neytiri gripped her bow and strung an arrow, prepared to shoot if she needed to. Her arrows were wooden with silver cores and demon-poison tips. She could shoot any creature and be sure the arrow would be fatal.
Suddenly, Taki turned to where Jaydo and Neytiri were hiding. "It's not here."
Jaydo jumped down and landed next to Traito. Neytiri hopped down after him,Tararight behind her.
"What do you mean it isn't here?" Jaydo asked, looking around.
Taki shrugged. "The trail ends. And it kind of looks like it just flew away."
Neytiri looked at Taki. "Taki, Budgekakai can't fly…"
"I know that. But, come on, take a look at this." Taki and Traito led the way through the dark forest as Neytiri exchanged glances with Jay and Tara.
"Flying Budgekakai?" Jay whispered. He looked forward at the two apprentices and grinned. "Keep an eye on them. It's Halloween in the mortal world. I bet this is some kind of joke and they're going to trick us." Jay winked and ran to catch up to the two young Hunters.
Neytiri looked over atTara. "Do you think he's…?"
"Could be. Though, Traito would never take part in something like that. He's too…"
"Dull?" Neytiri supplied.Taragrinned and elbowed her.
"I was going to say depressed,"Tarafrowned as Jay and the apprentices came to a halt in front of them
"What is it?" Neytiri asked, walking up to stand beside Jaydo.
She looked down, and sure enough, there were Budgekaki claw marks. But the trail seemed to simply end, with no step forward or backward.
"Unless the thing dug underground, it definitely flew away," Jay commented.
Tarasquatted down and swept two fingers across the ground and brought them close to her nose and sniffed. "It was definitely a Budgekaki, and there's no smell of any flying demon that could have carried it away."
"I told you, it definitely flew away. There's no other way," Taki said, leaning back against a tree.
"We need to report this toGriffin. Especially with it being so close to camp."Tarastood up and began to head back toward camp, but suddenly a shadow darkened the already shadowy forest. Neytiri looked up and heard Taki scream as she strung an arrow.
"Now that is one killer Budgekaki," Jay commented as he aimed his dagger.Taracocked an arrow in her crossbow. The pitch black Budgekaki had large wings that sprouted unnaturally from its back. Normal Budgekakai were light brown and much smaller than the one diving towards them.
"Taki," Neytiri called without moving her gaze from the incoming attacker, "take Traito and head back to camp as fast as you can. TellGriffinwhat happened."
As she saw Taki take off running from the side of her sight, the Budgekaki came zooming right at her. She shot her first arrow and got him right in the chest. But it did nothing to stop him. He continued his descent and nearly landed onTara.Tarashot an arrow through its heart and Jay attacked its back, shredding its wings with his daggers. Neytiri took aim and shot an arrow right into his right eye. He struggled for a moment longer, but gradually stopped breathing and became still.
"Wow, I've never seen a Budgekaki that took more than one Hunter to kill," Jay commented as he stepped away from the carcass and walked toward Tara and Neytiri.
Tarawas scrutinizing the creature. "This thing shouldn't exist." She stepped closer and examined the wings. "This is completely unnatural."
Just then,Griffincame running up with Zarina and Spirit.
She took in the sight of the dead Budgekaki and turned toTara. "What happened?"
"It attacked us." She gestured to it, frowning. "Griff, it's completely abnormal. Do you think the Darkness could be…"Tarabroke off at the lookGriffingave her.
"We will discuss this in my tent." She turned and swept her long purple cloak up behind her. Zarina followed her while Spirit waited forTarato catch up. Neytiri and Jaydo brought up the rear.
"What's this Darkness Tara mentioned?" Jay whispered.
Neytiri glanced from him to her mother's back, considering whether or not to tell him what she knew. She opted on trusting him and told him whatGriffinhad told her about the scouts not coming back and the Darkness the other Hunter Clan had mentioned.
"Hold up a second," Jay said, stopping as they neared camp. "Other Clan?"
Neytiri sighed. Her mother had told her of this other Clan a while back; she had never mentioned it to Jaydo, though. "There's another Clan, like ours, but headed by…" Neytiri glanced back to where her mother was entering her tent with Zarina, Tara, and Spirit to make sure she was out of hearing range, "Griffin's ex-boyfriend." Neytiri smiled.
"She told you that?" Neytiri could see by Jay's expression that he was imaginingGriffinwith a boyfriend.
"No, but I inferred from what she did tell me," Neytiri winked. "She can't stand this other Clan for the sole reason that he runs it. But she'd never let that get in the way of taking a danger warning seriously."
They continued walking towards camp and Neytiri saw Taki with her mother, getting checked over.
"Hey, Neytiri, Jaydo!" Taki's mother called them over. As Neytiri and Jay approached, Taki's mother stood up and formally nodded to them. "Thank you for saving Taki."
Neytiri smiled. "She was the one who discovered the Budgekaki. You should be proud of her. Her training is going exceptionally well."
"And no one gets as many compliments from Tiri as she does, so that's another good sign," Jaydo said quietly, a grin on his face. Neytiri elbowed him.
Neytiri and Jay left Taki and her mother and walked to Jaydo and Zarina's tent. Zarina was withGriffin, so the two had the tent all to themselves.
"So, that Traito kid is one of the scouts' son?" Jay asked as he placed his daggers on a side table.
Neytiri nodded.
"And when isGriffingoing to tell him his mother's dead?"
Neytiri turned to him sharply, blue eyes flashing. "It's not that simple, you know! What happens ifGriffinannounces the scouts are dead too early, and then they show up perfectly fine? That shows she doesn't have enough confidence in her own Hunters."
"But if she waits too long to announce their deaths, that makes it seem as though she couldn't be bothered with their disappearances," Jaydo countered.
"You don't know what it's like to lead," Neytiri muttered, turning away.
"And you do?" Jaydo asked quietly.
Neytiri looked down at the floor. "Of course not," she whispered.

Get out of the dropship, and kill all the enemies at the landing zone. Wait for the jeep (Boxcart) to be dropped off, and then drive it up along the spiralling road. Now is a good time to play with the boost, too. At the top, drive through the shed, and continue forward on the roads. Crash through the light fences in the way.
At the security point, kill the enemies. Leave the vehicle, enter the booth beside the locked gate, and pull the lever switch to open the gate. Further ahead, there are mines stuck on the walls. Use Nectar to see their blast area in the form of pulse waves. In any case, stay away from them as much as possible. If the car takes too much damage and gives off a loud fast beep, brake to a halt and get out before it blows up. If the current car is destroyed, there will be more ahead, marked by white steering wheel icons.
At a large shed toward the end, enemies will close off a gate. Blow them away. Again, leave the vehicle, enter the booth near the middle of the shed, and pull the lever switch to open the gate. Continue up the slopes to the front yard of the plant. Watch a funny cutscene.

My naturopathic doctor once told me that when you are not sure what brand of vitamin/supplement to get, just pick one that is in powdered form or liquid in the case of cod liver oil, vitamin E, or fish oil, etc. Next to that are capsules. Look for stuff with the least additives. You want to avoid tablets since they contain a lot of junk as binders to make the tablet shape. With capsules, try to look for least ingredients.
As for B-vitamins specifically, I know that certain forms are superior to others—for instance isn't the Methylcobalamin form of B12 better than the Cyanocobalamin one? Even so, most of the supplements contain the latter.
Yes! Unfortunately, there are things like this to look out for in every type of vitamin or supplement. Vitamin E is another good example where the natural forms is far superior to the synthetic forms. Many fat soluble vitamins are toxic in high dosages in the synthetic forms but not in the natural forms.
Someone on another thread (wish I could remember who it was) just said that your gut health is 60 or 70% of your immunity.
I wonder how bioavailable the B vitamins are in nutritional yeast?

Four years ago, iconic U.S. forward Brian McBride was captaining the U.S. men's Olympic team in Beijing. Saturday, about two miles to the west of Wembley Stadium, where Brazil and Mexico will meet in this year's men's Olympic final, he'll be trying to lead an upstart team on an entirely different stage.
McBride returns to competitive action Saturday for ninth-tier English side Wembley FC in their quest to embark on an underdog FA Cup run for the ages. Backed by tournament sponsor Budweiser, Wembley has added a number of former international standouts to its semi-pro club for the FA Cup only. The 40-year-old McBride is joined by the likes of Martin Keown, Ray Parlour, Claudio Caniggia and Graeme Le Saux, and they will attempt to lead the club to a win over Langford FC in a first-round match at Vale Farm (the match will be streamed live on Facebook at 7:45 a.m.).
For McBride, the appearance, as of now, is a one-time thing, regardless of whether Wembley wins. He is set to start a full-time position as studio analyst for Fox Soccer's UEFA Champions League and Europa League coverage, but before then, he sees an opportunity to help make an impact on the grassroots levels of English soccer while getting a unique chance to play meaningful minutes again.
"It's a good way to be able to lead by example," McBride told SBI via telephone on Friday. "It's not just about going out there and doing the big things but the little things, and hopefully we, as older players and ex-players in the club, pick up on that."
When McBride takes to the field at Vale Farm, it will mark his return to playing in London, where he starred for Fulham from 2004-2008 before returning to MLS to close his career with the Chicago Fire. It won't be his first cameo appearance in England, though. Last year he played in the Paul Scholes Testimonial match as part of the New York Cosmos' VIP-laden squad at Old Trafford. This time, the stakes are a little different.
"I'm excited," McBride said. "I look at it as a chance to go about and do the right things when I was a professional, and hopefully that'll show some benefits and rewards, but most importantly it's about winning the game."
McBride will be expected to provide his typical workhorse mentality while adding a scoring punch up top for Wembley. Even he is not certain how his performance will unfold, considering he has been away from competitive soccer for two years.
"I don't know how my form is, but I've been trying to stay fit," McBride said. "I'm fit, but not soccer fit. We'll see how it all goes. You never can tell."
McBride's time with Wembley has been brief. He said he has been over to England three times — once in April, once in June and this trip — to train with the club, whose FA Cup run is part of an NBC Sports Network series titled "Dream On: The Journey of Wembley FC" that will air for the first time on Aug. 21. Training sessions have included McBride playing and training in addition to providing some coaching.
"I looked at it as a way to do some coaching and mentoring at the grassroots level and really see the passion," McBride said. "You look at guys on the team that have full-time jobs, and they still train almost as much as real professionals. That balance has got to be grueling."
As much as this is about publicity for the tournament and television series, it is also about helping a little-known club make strides toward growing. The game will be aired live on ESPN UK, giving Wembley's players unprecedented exposure, and the further they can advance, the more press and attention they will get.
"This is a serious thing," McBride said. "People say, 'What are they trying to do, buy the FA Cup?' This is just, with Budweiser's help, the ability to provide more infrastructure and build for the long term. Our involvement is more on the mentoring side. You can always learn from ex-professionals or players or coaches. This is a way I'm looking at it as a way to try and be professional, do things correctly. Provide another outlook or view of how soccer is played."
McBride's return to London is limited. His flight arrived after the U.S. women's national team captured the gold medal Thursday, and he hasn't had a chance to return to Craven Cottage, where the sports bar "McBride's" is named in his honor, nor has he had a chance to experience any of the Olympics. He was, however, able to have lunch with U.S. national team star Clint Dempsey, his former teammate for both Fulham and the national team.
He will depart for the United States following this atypical foray back into English soccer.
"It was too interesting to miss out on," McBride said. "I'm getting in with a group that is very determined and eager to succeed."
What a player, what a pro, what an example.
I love McBride, but this idea seems terribly stupid to me.
Maybe I'm missing something where it helps Wembley and grassroots UK soccer, but it appears to just be a gimmick for a reality show/Budweiser ad.
I'd love to see Claudio Caniggia play. He is one of the fastest players to ever play the game and I'd be interested to see if he is still the fastest of the field.
How big of a legend is McBride at Fulham?
Michael Stypulkoski
Massive. The club even named the pub at Craven Cottage after him.
I predict they will win handily and later be required to forfeit the match because the paperwork isn't in order.
Indigo Montoya
Huge. One of their biggest names in their storied history. But even he won't compare to Dempsey if he sticks it out there and helps them qualify for Europe or win some silverware
HAHAHA,I loved this. Well played Joe+G.
Sorry, much as I like & admire McBride, this stinks.
This isn't some friendly match – it is the FA Cup. What about poor Langford FC and any other opponents who weren't lucky enough to sign a deal with a multi-billion dollar corporation to get them a bunch of ringers for their Cup run – ringers who by their own admission have hardly even set foot on the pitch of the team they are representing, or met the players?
Those teams rely on their own limited Cup success to help them grow as well.
Over the years I've played, I've run into team that have loaded up their team for the tournament, and it didn't stink any less then than this does.
Devin Brown
Boo hoo
Exactly its only the FA Cup not that big of a deal.
I'm watching the match now … how the FA allowed these mercenaries is beyond me. This for GBP 1,000 (about $1,550) in this round.

Texas Weather Scattered showers and thunderstorms lingered along the Texas-New Mexico border early today after storms battered central and south Texas Thursday. Thunderstorms and showers occurred today over far West Texas, the western South Plains, the southwest Panhandle, the western portions of the Trans-Pecos and Big Bend. A ridge of high pressure over the state produced fair to clear skies throughout the rest of Texas, the National Weather Service said. On Thursday, the weather .service issued an afternoon tor nado warning for Galveston County after a funnel cloud was spotted near the Texas City dyke. But the twister and heavy thunderstorms in the area caused no damage. Continued from Page 1 School Board President Bob Self told the patrons that the district in many cases has little control over its own expenditures because of state mandates since the passage of House Bill 72, a major education reform bill passed in 1984. He said the state requires teacher salary increases and, in many cases, sets the number of teachers needed. One patron told the board they should "just say no" to unreasonable state-mandated expenses. Walter Cadenhead told trustees that he doesn't want to cut any teacher's pay but there are other areas where the budget can be reduced. As a selfemployed businessman, Cadenhead said he has made several cuts in his budget and his school district can do the same thing. K S. Smith told the board he can't afford to pay taxes in this city any longer. "Taxes are going up and up and up and it has got to stop. Somebody has got to realize what is going on," he said. Karon Preiss, an NBISD employee, spoke up in favor of the tax increase. She said the education offered in the school district is "beautiful." "I am for the types of activities that are occurring in my children's lives and the way that they have grown and been nurtured," she said. "I am so pleased with what is happing in their lives and my plea to you is to use your collective knowledge and remember that the bottom line really is not numbers. It's kids." David Wiedenfeld told the board that other entities have had to cut back their budgets and NBISD could trim its budget considerably Preiss said she realizes that the "oil crunch" in Texas has hurt almost everyone. "But the oil crunch wouldn't be nearly as devastating as what would happen if our education went backwards," she added. While some patrons said expensive equipment like computers are not essential to education, others said "you can't go back to the slate board." At least one man supported the school district's request for additional taxes, saying he wants his children to have the best education NBHS coach Jim Straety, left, and William J Kolod/ie watch the action Citizens of New Braunfels "are interested in an education system second to none We are also interested in getting the most for our tax dollars Kolodzie said possible so they will be able to compete in the tough job market of the future. "I want my kids to have the best education there is. New Braunfels has turned out good students and good people and a lot of people move to New Braunfels for one thing the school district," said Jerry M. Smith. "You think your money is getting trashed, you go in there and try to teach a first grader ...

Pfauffor hands prison term, probation to men Judge Robert T. Pfeuffer sentenced a San Antonio man to his second prison term and continued probation for a New Braunfels man convicted of aggravated robbery in action Wednesday in the 207th State District Court. Marlin Ray Theis, 26, of San Antonio, was remanded to the Texas Department of Corrections for a 15-year term during a punishment hearing Wednesday. Theis had been found guilty May ll kl district court here of burglary of a habitation committed last December in the 500 block of South Santa Clara. His indictment was enhanced because of a felony conviction in Bexar County in January 1984 for attempted burglary of a habitation. Theis served a short prison term for (tie offense. Prior to his guilty verdict rendered by a Comal County jury in May, Tlieis had been acquitted of a charge of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. His father, Terry Theis, asked the court for leniency in sentencing. He testified his son has a drug problem and prefers to involve himself "with kids who do drugs," but said a Fort Worth construction firm had offered his son a job. Terry Theis said he believed his son's drug problems could be overcome. Pfeuffer sentenced Theis within a minimum five- to 15-year range mandated b> law for those with prior felony convictions. In other action, District Attorney William Sehroeder had sought to revoke the probation of Steven C. Windham, 30, of 1513 Lichen Road, after Windham for a second time violated his parole terms. Windham has been un parole for an aggravated robbery conviction lie received here rn October 1978. He was sentenced to a 10-year prison term and then placed on probation for the term. Since then, Windham was arrested rn June of 1985 for public intoxication. At that time, he avoided revocation proceedings by completing an alcohol counseling course, but he was arrested again and convicted in April in Comal County Court-At-I^iw on a driving while intoxicated charge. Pfeuffer continued Windham's probation, but ordered him to undergo alcohol treatment at a Travis County facility and also ordered Windham to perform 200 hours of community service as restitution. Sex assailant released, receives probation A New Braunfels man, convicted of sexually assaulting a juvenile girl, has been released from the Texas Department of Corrections and placed on probation. Hector Manuel Rosas, 21, of 1475 Fern, had been in prison since March 17 after pleading no contest to forcing a neighboring 15-year-old girl to have sex with him. He paid the girl, who became pregnant, $5 after the assault that took place in a storage shed. He was sentenced to a 10-year prison term for the first degree felony charge. That sentence was to be probated following 60 to 180 days in prison as a shock term. His attorney, Mark Cusack, filed for a motion to suspend further imposition of the prison stay after 60 days incarceration. Rosas Thursday appeared before Judge Charles Ramsay in the 22nd State District Court and was formally placed on probation for the remainder of the sentence. By SARAH DUKE Staff Writer New Braunfels Utilities employees unveiled a proposal Thursday to issue $9.4 million in bonds to finance a list of projects including a $5.5 million surface water treatment plant. Since the proposed projects were presented in May, NBU officials have trimmed more than $5 million off the needed bond issue by proposing the sale of the utilities' transmission lines and manuevering other money into the projects fund. NBU board of rn rectors voted to recommend to New Braunfels City Council that the bond sale be approved. By keeping the bond sale less than $10 million, NBU will avoid penalties imposed under the latest changes in tax laws and reduce its annual budget for the coming year. Jeff Thompson, head of NBU's administrative services, presented the proposed 1987-88 budget to the board for the first time Thursday. Anticipated revenue for NBU's 1987-88 fiscal year are set at $32.4 million. Thompson said that figure is up from $28.7 million last year. The NBU staff estimates that more than $39.5 million will be spent in the coming year. Included in the budget is a 2.8 percent increase in operation and maintenance expenses. An additional amount will be needed to fund the debt service on bonds to be issued in September. NBU is considering selling its transmission lines to the I/mer Colorado River Authority. Thompson said the sale could produce $4 million to $5 million for the utilities in the future. The sale would not be completed before the end of this year, he said, but would provide income for NBU at a later date. The $9.1 million bond issue, along with a reallocation of existing bonds, will fund more than $14 million worth of proposed projects, Thompson said. "The sale of the transmission is several years away. We're using it to offset the bond issue because these things are going to take years to build," he said in reference to the nine proposed projects. e're anticipating selling (the transmission system I but if it doesn't happen, we're going to have to come back after more bonds." leading the list of NBU's proposed projects is a surface water treatment plant which could treat up to six million gallons of water per day. The plant is estimated to cost $5.5 million and will be located on the Guadalupe River. An exact location has not yet been determined. NBU officials support the development of the project to decrease the dependency on the Edwards Aquifer and to provide a type of security system in the event the aquifer becomes contaminated or is pumped dry. Several million dollars' worth of new water lines are included in the proposed projects. The new lines would expand and improve NBU's system into areas surrounding New Braunfels including the Kohlenberg Road area where the new Wal-Mart distribution system will be built. That pipe and booster pumps for the system will cost NBU about $985,000 Other proposed projects including upgrading wastewater treatment systems and upgrading the sewage collection system on the city's west side. If the proposed NBU budget is approved by the board, employees will have a chance at a 1.5 percent merit pay increase for the corning year. Thompson said the skimpy sum will be granted to employees who qualify. "This is not an across the txiard, cost-of-living raise," he said. The board is planning a workshop in July to take a closer look at the proposed budget. Also during Thursday's meeting, the board: approved an application to be submitted to the city council for potential grant funds available through the Texas Department of Community Affairs grant program NBU ls requesting a grant of $280,000 — approved the payment of $22,989 for membership dues for the coming fiscal year to the Association of Wholesale Customers. The association is made up of the electric companies that purchase power from LCRA. Trustee Bob Orr said the dues are quite reasonable in comparison to the amount of money the association saves the utilities — appointed NBU General Manager Bob Sohn to serve as NBU's representative to the Association of Wholesale Customers. Board President Gene Mornhinweg will serve as alternate. — approved a bid for a construction contract for the Gruene Road and Rock Street water and sewage extension improvements. The board approved the low bid of $201,953 from R T. Montgomery of Bryan. The bid was more than $73,000 less than NBU had estimated County Continued frm Page 1 Commissioners accepted a bid of $501 for the stone house on MUI Street located across from the courthouse annex. The house which is owned by the county will be removed and the lot cleared. Roy Duelm, a local home mover, submitted a bid to the county which topped the only other bid of $100. A Obituaries spokesman for Duelm's business says that the cost of removing the house will be approximately $4,500 to $4,800. During Thursday's agenda workshop m commissioners' court the ballots of the 1986 senatorial elections were questioned nearly 8 months after the fact. Roland W. Anderson of Bulverde, voting Precinct IO claims that Bennie Bock and Judith Zaffirini appeared on his ballot when the correct candidate would have been Bill Sumos. When challenged County Clerk Rosie Bosenberry did research of the ballots and submitted proof that everthing was in order in the three precincts in question.

Journeyman Putnam goes low to set Humana pace
(Reuters) - The "light switch" clicked for journeyman Michael Putnam as he piled up nine birdies in his last 12 holes to seize a one-shot lead in Thursday's opening round of the $5.7 million Humana Challenge at La Quinta in California.
Still seeking his first victory on the PGA Tour, the 31-year-old American fired a sparkling nine-under-par 63 in ideal scoring conditions on the Jack Nicklaus Private course at PGA West, one of three venues hosting the pro-am event.
Putnam covered his back nine in a sizzling seven-under 29 to finish a picture-perfect day a stroke in front of compatriots Blake Adams, John Peterson, Scott Pinckney and 2012 champion Mark Wilson, and Italian Francesco Molinari.
Holder Patrick Reed, who won the Hyundai Tournament of Champions in Hawaii 10 days ago, launched his title defense with a 65 while twice former winner Phil Mickelson, playing his first competitive round since late September, carded a 71.
"It was like a light switch," Putnam told Golf Channel about the transformation in his game from the seventh hole onwards. "I said I needed to make some birdies, so I did.
"I played decently solid before that, just made a few mistakes to make bogeys, but I just lit it up coming in."
Putnam, a three-times champion on the lower-tier Web.com Tour who has never finished better than fourth in a PGA Tour event, was not planning to dwell on his opening round for long.
"You've kind of got to forget about it because we are playing a totally different golf course tomorrow ... so kind of put that out of my memory and now I am focused on the Palmer (course) for tomorrow," he said.
"There were a lot of low scores shooting out there too so you've still got to make birdies because 25, 27 under (par) wins this thing." Continued...
