Flight 001 | SLEEP MASK WINGS - In-flight Comfort - All Products
This mask serves the dual purpose of a tactful "Do Not Disturb" sign and sleep aid. And the print adds some whimsy to your bag of tricks.
To me, the cat eye is the epitome of old Hollywood glam. The white frame makes it fresh, forward and primed for spring. And at this price, you may want to consider getting a second pair in red, polka dot or floral.Tags: oversized, glam, ASOS, air travel, beachwear, Road Trip, cat-eye, dark lenses, white framesAdded 6 Years Ago from ASOS

Quick ThinkingMature
Later that night. After Dinner:
Kel answered his door, to see his Brooklyn Boys on the other side. They greeted each other and walked in his house. Malik peeked out of the kitchen to see them, he sprinted in the kitchen. He hid all the gay magazines that he and Demetreus were reading earlier that day. He pulled his dread locks out of the ponytail he had, and texted Demetreus to inform him that straight men are in the premises. He snuck/sneaked in the dinning room, turned his laptop off, peeled the rainbow sticker from his laptop. He grabbed his clothes from his bag and ran back into the kitchen. Malik took off his skinny jeans and tight fitted t-shirt, and slid on baggy jeans, put on a jersey and a fitted cap.
"Yo Kel, can I use you bathroom." said Ross.
Kel thought, "Oh shit! Demetreus is up there..."
Kel said, "Do you really need to go? Just be careful Jaiden is sleeping"
Ross signaled yes. Ross ran up the steps. Alex walked into the kitchen. Malik threw his clothes in the cabinet underneath the sink.
"Yo what's good" said Malik.
"Yo, Malik! What's Good" said Alex, as they greeted each other.
Kel said in the living room, "Um if you all want some food, I just cooked."
The men got up and went into the kitchen. Kel turned on the tv, and removed the gay dvd that Malik had in earlier. He changed the music channel to an all hip-hop music and cut the tv off.
Demetreus reacted to the text, slid off his tight fitted shirt and searched around for a t- shirt. He saw the door knob move and ducked behind Kel's bed. Ross walked into Kel's bedroom. Demetreus peeked through Kel's wooden head board. Ross opened Kel's front drawer. Demetreus silently gasped. Ross took his silver chain and slid it in his pockets. He took out a gold ring and slid it in its place in his drawer. He then left the room, and went into the bathroom. Demetreus hopped over the bed, and watched Ross walked into the bathroom.
Alex and Kj got a plate of food and sat in the living room. Malik removed his laptop. Kel and Malik sat next to them when the door rang again. Kj turned the television on and started surfing through the channels. Kel opened the door to see Danita and Andre.
Danita brushed past Kel dragging Andre with her into the apartment. Malik's face dropped. Danita walked up to Alex & Kj and introduced herself and Andre. Andre stormed into the kitchen and asked Malik to come with him.
Kel thought "This could be a disaster! My homies and my gay friends together in the same room. Well at least Jay & Tevin aren't here."
The door rang.
Kel took a deep breath and opened the door.
"Hey Stranger!" said Tevin.
"I spoke to soon. Hey Tevin, I got a full house. Come on in." said Kel.
Tevin walked in, and Kel introduced him to everyone who didn't know him.
As soon as Kel was about to walk up stairs to check on Demetreus, Ross and Jaiden, his door ranged again.
"What the fuck! All of these black people in my house!"
Kel took a deep breath and opened the door.
"Hey Sexy!" said Rachel. Kel took a step outside.
"Girl! I have a full house of black people... half are gay and half are straight. My secret is on the line! And so is Malik's!"
"Breathe! Okay, just tell them no gay jokes and not to be feminine. Is that really gay one here?"
"Jay... hell no! That man likes me." He whispered, "come on in, I still have to take Diggy home."
"Demetreus is still here? He was suppose to been left. Did you sleep with him?"
"Ha! Attempt twice, and tonight was supposed to be the touch down, but not with all these bitches in my house! Ugh! Come on in!"
Rachel and Kel walked in.
"You made food?!" she said as she walked straight into the kitchen.
Rachel waved to Malik as he argued with Andre. She opened the cabinet and grabbed a plate. She sliced pieces of ham, grabbed green beans, mashed potatoes and a piece of cornbread on her plate. Andre slapped Malik in his face and Rachel jumped. She continued to ignore them until Andre slapped Malik again and Malik gripped up Andre. He started kissing him. Rachel smiled. "Aww boys... now cut it out before one of the boys come in."
The door open, and Andre put Malik in a head lock. Alex laughed, "What is going on, here?"
Rachel sighed, "Boys will be boys" she said as she left.

Pricing details are loading…
Paid-via-Atlassian pricing FAQ
- How does server add-on pricing work?
Server products and add-ons are hosted on your servers. Licenses are perpetual and the purchase price include 12 months of maintenance (support and version updates).
You can renew maintenance after 12 months at 50% of the current purchase price. You can upgrade the tier of your host product and add-on licenses at any time. Upgrade prices are calculated based on Atlassian's formula (view example).
If add-on pricing changes after your initial purchase, there's a 60-day grandfathering period during which you can renew based on the old pricing.
- How do I determine my server pricing tier?
For JIRA Server 7.0 or later, the add-on tier should match the maximum tier of the licensed JIRA applications on your instance. For example, if you're running JIRA Software (50 users) and JIRA Service Desk (10 agents) on the same instance, you should purchase the 50-user tier for add-ons.
For versions of JIRA Server prior to 7.0, the add-on tier should match the licensed user tier for JIRA. Even if fewer users want to use the add-on than your JIRA license, the two licenses should match exactly.
Note: While this add-on has features specific to JIRA Service Desk, the add-on is technically available across the whole JIRA instance. Therefore the above guidelines for the license tier still apply.
- Do you offer academic, community, or open-source licenses?
For server add-ons, purchase and renewal is half-price if you have an academic license for your Atlassian host application. Server add-ons are always free for community and open-source licenses. Cloud add-ons do not have discounted or free licenses.
For more details about qualifying for special licenses, see here.
- Can I extend my free trial?
For server add-ons, you can extend your add-on trial up to 5 times - in other words, for up to six months. Extend your trial by generating a new evaluation license key from Atlassian Marketplace. Click Try it free and you'll be directed to generate a new license. Paste this license key into the add-on listing in UPM from your Atlassian host application, and you're all set.
- How can I buy add-ons for my legacy JIRA Server or Confluence Server license?
If you own a legacy JIRA Server Unlimited (100+ users) or Confluence Server Unlimited (2000+ users) license purchased in 2012 or earlier, legacy add-on pricing is no longer available. You have two options for add-on purchasing:
- Purchase the add-on at the non-legacy Unlimited (10000+ users) tier.
- Renew your JIRA or Confluence license at a non-legacy tier, then purchase the add-on at the same tier.

Your tour starts at Battery Park, where you'll get a little context for your upcoming visits by exploring the memorials around the park, which rarely get the attention they deserve by visitors rushing to catch the ferry. Spend some time at the Castle Clinton National Monument, Pier A Harbor House, the American Merchant Mariner's Memorial, the Sphere, and New York Korean War Veteran's Memorial.
Then it's off to Liberty Island with priority boarding to get the best seats on the ferry; because you're leaving early (often on the first ferry, depending on the time of year), you'll arrive at the Statue of Liberty before the crowds. Once there, enjoy stunning views of the city and take a guided tour that leads you right up to the pedestal, getting you closer to Lady Liberty than the standard visit.
Here, your guide tells you a little about the city's greatest icon. Gifted to the US by France and designed by their finest architects, including Gustav Eiffel (whose Parisian tower you may be familiar with), Lady Liberty wasn't as warmly received as you might think. Hear all about the struggle that got her on her feet and eventually became dear to the people of New York.
Then return to the ferry for the cruise over to Ellis Island, where you'll follow in the footsteps of 12 million immigrants. From your guide, learn about the lengthy immigration process they went through, walking the Stairs of Separation to understand the island's two very different names, 'The Island of Hope' and 'The Island of Tears.' Explore the museum's impressive collection of interactive displays, and ask your guide any questions you have before your tour ends here; you can stay a little longer if you'd like, or head back to the ferry with your guide to return to Manhattan.
With small groups of 20 people or fewer and early morning ferries to the islands, your tour is typically quiet and relaxed, removing the hassles of the average visit. And with an expert guide on hand, you're certain to learn a thing or two, getting more from your experience than you would by visiting these sites on your own.
If you cancel at least 7 day(s) in advance of the scheduled departure, there is no cancellation fee.
If you cancel between 3 and 6 day(s) in advance of the scheduled departure, there is a 50 percent cancellation fee.

Ever since early music's Pied Piper David Munrow hit the small screen in the Seventies, the lute has steadily moved up the charts as the thinking man's guitar. And Sting is, by rock standards, the quintessential thinking man: his route to the lute began 20 years ago when a friend propelled him towards Peter Pears and Julian Bream doing John Dowland.
At that time he couldn't see any mileage in it for himself, any more than he could when Katia Labeque suggested that Dowland's songs might suit his "unschooled tenor", but he was drawn ever deeper into what he calls the "labyrinth". Stuff kept happening: he was given a custom-built lute with a labyrinth-shaped rose-hole, and he stumbled into a collaboration with the Sarajevan lutenist Edin Karamazov.
And, after years of patient readjustment of brain and fingers to this guitar-which-is-not-a-guitar, Sting has now unveiled a CD entitled Songs from the Labyrinth, consisting of Dowland's loveliest works interspersed with lute fantasias and extracts from the composer's letters.
Which brings us to the LSO's beautifully converted Hawksmoor church, together with ticket touts, rock celebs, the early-music fraternity and Fiona Talkington, who explains that what we are about to hear will shortly reverberate round every corner of Radios 2 and 3. Taking the stage with Karamazov, Sting modestly remarks that he'll be singing in his own style, "but one hopes in a respectful way". And he has a pertinent thought to pass on: Dowland's, he says, is "the music of self-reflection, which leads to melancholy, which has nothing to do with depression, and is an undervalued emotion in modern times". Well put.
Whereupon he launches into "Flow My Tears". Having listened to the CD, I've been looking forward to this moment: Sting has none of the preciousness one associates with amateur shots at Dowland, and his mildly transatlantic accent forces me to listen to the music as something entirely new. But what a shock when he opens his mouth: shorn of that studio mastering, which turns recorded dross into gold, his sound is awful, by turns a croon and a rasp. And he's trying so hard, in all the wrong ways, that it positively hurts to listen.
For this church has an unforgivingly faithful acoustic, and Dowland's melodic lines have the beauty of simplicity: Sting is stripped naked. In one pre-concert interview he argued that since this music pre-dated opera, his lack of "technique" didn't matter. That may be true, but we're talking here about something more universal than mere bel canto - about an artistry that spans everything from Big Bill Broonzy to superstar tenor Ian Bostridge, who just happens to be sitting in my row. And poor old Sting, for all his good intentions, simply hasn't got it. It's worst when he attacks one of Dowland's long-held high notes, but it's pretty bad throughout. The only time it becomes bearable is when he roughens up the street-cry in "Fine Knacks for Ladies", or hardens his tone against his moody mistress in "Clear or Cloudy". I begin to long for Bostridge - or any decent folk singer - to replace him, and demonstrate what good singing is.
The concert doesn't last long - just the length of the CD - but when the celebs have given him their ritual ovation he picks up his lute, turns it into a guitar, and launches into one of his own songs - and we realise that he can sing after all. Performing for 5,000 people is a breeze compared with this, he explains: "I was never so nervous in my life." Now he, his instrument, and his material are one, and we all breathe a collective sigh of relief: don't give up your day job.

In most foods..its the sauces and seasoning that sets the meal apart...Rositas has the sauce, seasoning, and salsa that makes the food stellar. Dont go for the decor..go for the food.
The food here is really good and the pico de gallo that they bring with the chips is the best in town. Don't be too concerned if it takes them a while to get your chips and drinks. They're just laid back. It's worth waiting.
This food is awesome. All home made. Not one thing you will not like. It is ran by family. I love going to Rositas when in Walla Walla. George Nino is a great server. Very friendly and prompt. They do not deliver but they do have a Drive up window.
Simple, delicious Mexican food. Family-owned and operated, these folks always seem glad to see repeat customers and treat them with a bit more friendliness than a first visit, though the first visit is important and they know it. Fresh food, good food, good prices, great service. Nothing spectacular, but in a world of mediocrity, this rises above!
The food was excellent. Service was great. We enjoyed our food and visiting with the owner. We would love to go back there when we are in town again.
Went here a couple time during my Month stay in Walla Walla. They have really good food and the service is great. Raquel treats you like family. I have to say I will be back next time I am in Walla Walla.
Authentic Tex-Mex food that is consistently well made and delicious. The house salsa and chips start every meal and the dishes are freshly made to order.
A small group of us went to Rosita's fr dinner on a Tuesday night around 6 pm. We were greeted immediately by an older woman (Rosita?) and told to sit where we wanted, pointing us to a cooler area of the restaurant. (Its been over 100 out every day this week) we sat and waited a bit before she came...
The staff is nice and friendly. The food is good and plain. Not much pop to it. I guess it is designed for the bland/mellow Walla Walla audience. The tacos were the highlight. Not much to the enchilada, beans or rice. No beer really knocks it down.
Decent food just that the business has outgrown the staff and the building. They could use a bigger restaurant. It was swamped when me and my wife walked in and they had ran out of chicken and beef so we were not able to order what we wanted off the menu. Good service. The lady serving was continually busy and...

Morrisons' group treasurer and head of tax is under investigation as part of an insider trading probe undertaken by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
Paul Coyle was arrested in Harrogate, Yorkshire, last month over allegations of insider trading in connection with the supermarket's lucrative tie-up with online grocer Ocado, according to the Daily Telegraph.
He is being investigated over allegations of buying an unknown amount of shares of the online grocer before the deal to deliver Morrisons' groceries was announced, which sent the shares rocketing last May. At the time, authorities said a 49-year old man's home in Yorkshire had been raided by police.
As part of the £216 million tie-up, Morrisons agreed to invest £46 million in Ocado's Dordon distribution centre in the Midlands as well as making an initial payment to the online grocer of £170 million. Shares in Ocado — which floated in 2010 at 180p — have more than tripled since the deal was announced.
It has been reported that Mr Coyle has not returned to work since the arrest took place. He is yet to be charged and the investigation continues.
Morrisons issued a profit warning earlier this month following a disappointing Christmas trading period, which saw like-for-like sales decline 5.6 per cent in the six weeks to January 5 compared with a year earlier, sending shares tumbling 7 per cent.
The supermarket slashed its full-year profit forecast to £783 million from £812 million.
The FCA and Morrisons declined to comment. Mr Coyle could not be reached.

Is there something already running on the port you use for Spiceworks? A common example is IIS if you have it installed will try and use port 80 which is often used for Spiceworks (IIS gets greedy and will try and take over that port even if previously you have told it not to).

Vitesse Arnhem (0) 0 Liverpool (1) 1
Michael Owen's fifth European goal and his 13th of the season put Liverpool firmly in charge of their UEFA Cup third round tie here last night. However, the predatory marksman knows he should have put the issue beyond all doubt from what, by his high standards, were three routine second-half chances.
All the pre-match discussions had been around Gerard Houllier's squad rotation and which of the big names would be held back for Sunday's Premiership meeting with Manchester United.
Owen was a contender to sit this one out to keep him sharp but the Liverpool manager took the view that an away goal from the England striker would go a long way towards settling this tie and that decision was rewarded in the 27th minute of a lukewarm contest.
Until then Liverpool had been content to draw what little sting there was in a moderate Vitesse outfit and their only moment of concern came from a free-kick near the right-hand edge of the penalty area which Theo Janssen tried to squeeze inside the near post.
Jerzy Dudek, who arrived here on the brink of being dropped following his weak performance in Saturday's defeat at Fulham, reacted smartly to avert the danger.
Moments later, Liverpool struck. Vladimir Smicer, on as a substitute as early as the ninth minute after Bruno Cheyrou pulled a groin muscle in a challenge against Purrel Frankel, won a 50-50 ball and fed Steven Gerrard. The England midfielder was another whose selection had been as big a talking point as Owen's. But Gerrard did his bit and cleverly worked the ball to Milan Baros. He in turn set up Owen for a simple low finish past the helpless Dragoslav Jevric.
That stunning strike did not exactly raise the roof but did enough to silence the home supporters and deflate the opposition to the point where Liverpool could well have finished them off before the interval.
Three outstanding chances came the Merseysiders' way towards the end of that first period, two of them falling to Danny Murphy, who shot over the bar from the first and headed agonisingly on to the roof of the net from the second.
The other was created by Gerrard, who showed a rare flash of his former brilliance by dribbling effortlessly past two would-be challengers and letting fly with a fierce rising drive which was just too high.
Liverpool should have sealed their victory after 58 minutes when Murphy's superb ball split the Vitesse defence and provided Owen with a clear run at goal. The striker's natural instinct is to shoot in these situations but on this occasion the goalkeeper had narrowed the angle and made a crucial save when surely he would have been helpless had the ball been laid sideways to either Baros or Smicer.
Owen was guilty of a more obvious and embarrassing mistake soon afterwards when Baros sent him racing down the middle totally unmarked. He allowed the ball to slip a yard too far ahead of him, prompting Jevric to dive at his feet and make an excellent smothering save. Even then Owen should have scored, the rebound falling kindly for him to stroke it towards an empty net, but the ball rolled the wrong side of the far post.
Seconds later Owen was through again - this time on to Smicer's well-weighted pass - and yet failed to beat the advancing goalkeeper from the edge of the penalty area.
The outstanding Jevric kept his team in the tie with another reaction save from Smicer after Baros had spotted the substitute in space on the left.
Those misses could have proved expensive if Emile Mbamba had showed more composure when Arnhem launched a worrying raid. The striker, having worked his own shooting position with a neat dribble, hurried his shot which a relieved Dudek watched go well wide.
Just before that the Dutch had indicated that they were not going to surrender meekly to a superior Liverpool side by working a neat opening down the left for Frankel to hit a decent shot on the run which was just off target and Vitesse threatened again when Gert Claessens appeared unmarked on the edge of the area to direct a powerful header over Dudek's crossbar.
Liverpool should have been punished for their failure to convert their host of second-half openings when Vitesse cut their defence wide open eight minutes from time, creating a golden opportunity for Rahamat Mustapha who struck the foot of an upright from 10 yards. The rebound fell to substitute Kalle Sone, who, unbelievably, scuffed his shot wide.

Say Goodbyeby Robert Capko
America is ready for a new type of hero. John Paxton is a man who understands duty-both to his family and to his country. As a highly decorated pararescueman in the Air Force, he's risked his own life numerous times to save the lives of others. He is the epitome of the pararescue motto: These Things We Do That Others May Live. But now that he's married with two small children, he's content as an instructor at Lackland Air Force Base.
Then Paxton is commanded to lead a team on a dangerous mission-supposedly to rescue the pilot of a stealth fighter shot down over Serbia. Yet, nothing is as it seems. As the mission goes from bad to worse, Paxton uncovers a deadly plot that threatens National Security. But to fight an enemy with ties to one of the most dangerous organizations on the planet, he risks not only his own life, but also the lives of the people he loves the most.
"SAY GOODBYE is a thrilling, edge-of-your-seat page-turner. Don't miss it!"
~Michele Bardsley, national bestselling author
"Finally, a thrilling true-to-life novel about America's ultra-elite but largely unsung special operations force, the Air Force Pararescuemen."
~Matthew Bracken, former Navy SEAL and author of the ENEMIES FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC series.

After 28.5 years in the Air Force (24.5 active duty, 4 years as a civilian), seeing these super heros in action, I'm so glad to see Robert Capko's new book SAY GOODBYE hit the streets and pay homage to the--until now--unsung heros of the Air Force. I remember first hearing about PJs when I came into the USAF back in 1982. They'll go places other services' special operators won't! These super Airmen know no fear, and John Paxton is the perfect example. My advice...get a lot of sleep the night before you read the book, because you'll be going to bed late the day you start reading it...you will NOT be able to put it down! Chief Master Sergeant (Retired) Bill "D".
Military men are a breed of their own. Honorable to a fault for when Senior Master Sergeant John Paxton was given an order he obeyed even when he didn't fully understand the mission. John Paxton was a Pararescue Jumper and now a Pararescue Jumper Instructor. His adventure began and his life could change forever the moment General Reed and Colonel Ward walked into his office. Given absolutely no time to call family or let his wife and children know he was leaving, John was ordered to go on a somewhat sketchy rescue mission in Yugoslovia. Everything about this mission was questionable including the man he was to be traveling with, McMurphy. The basis of the mission is to fly into Yugoslovia find and rescue the Stealth Fighter pilot. Oh and don't ask too many questions because he certainly won't get many answers. Everything started going awry and becoming more and more questionable from the moment he accepted the mission. It is one mishap and adventure after another. Every turn leads to another suspense. Jump in and hold on for a crazy ride. **Robert did an excellent job with character development. The story line was well thought of but at times I did have to flip back and forth to stay with parts of the story. There were several situations going on at the same time in different parts of the world. All in all the book was very interesting and it is not my typical genre that I read. I also do not have an understanding of many things military but was able to follow what was going on. It is suspense and leaves the reader wanting more!!!!
John Paxton is a likable, relatable guy, who also happens to be a hero. He is at the center of Say Goodbye, a fabulous book written by Robert Capko. I have been reading this genre for quite a while and I am something of a political/military thriller snob. I could not put this book down. Finished it on one day. The characters are multidimensional and the story is compelling. Mr. Capko's attention to detail shows a passion and knowledge for the subject that inspires the reader to forget about everything except the story. If you are looking for a great way to "waste" some time over the holidays, I highly suggest you get lost in this book. I will be reading it again over the holidays, as I hear the sequel will be out before Christmas. Can't wait!
I have to keep this review short, because if I go into too much detail, I might throw in a spoiler and inadvertently ruin this fantastic read for the many, many readers I know it currently has and will continue to have. There is nothing formulaic, repetitious or trite in the first of what I hope Mr. Capko makes into a long-standing serial. I have seldom been enthralled by a military thriller as much as "Say Goodbye" managed to do from page one. There are so many questions the reader has to answer about why John Paxton (a Pararescue Jumper who plays with the idea of retirement while he teaches other servicemen in his field) is called to join a very sketchy secondary character, McMurphy, in a mission that can only be described by a brilliant new word the novel taught me: 'clusterf**k'. That word can pretty much surmise the mounting stress, foreboding, mystery and sheer thrilling entertainment that makes up the plot of "Say Goodbye". I have always admired authors who either rely on their own expertise or research the intricacies of military equipment, strategies and history, but very few of them are able to break away from the description of a gun or an aircraft and also draw characters that are well-rounded, engaging and most of all, relatable. Mr. Capko is that rare talent who can sum up a clear depiction of a service man caught up in the pre-9/11 ethnic cleanse and brutal massacres in Yugoslavia and still wrestle with the anxiety of leaving on what might be a suicide mission without speaking to his wife and children. This is a book for a wide audience, and every page turn is rich with images and action that can easily translate into a blockbuster movie. Hollywood, give this man a producer and a director, and let him write his own script. This book is movie-ready from page one. Robert Capko is simply a brilliant storyteller, and I can only wish him many followers and a long and truly successful writing career. He deserves it; this book is thrilling and fantastic; this is a must-read!
This isn't typically my genre of choice, but I got hooked on John Paxton. He is a believable military hero thrown into a mysterious mission with dramatic results. The characters, the pacing, the attention to details and Capko's ability to keep you guessing makes Say Goodbye a must read for anyone that just loves a good story.

Smaller charities rarely get the recognition they deserve. Too busy trying to make ends meet while delivering their crucial services, they have little, if any, time to devote to raising their profile. And working at a mainly local level does not lend itself to securing national coverage.
The five winners of the Guardian Charity Award 2001, for small and medium-sized social welfare charities, are no exception. Each faces an annual struggle to secure funding from a variety of sources while providing invaluable help to disadvantaged groups.
Without the recognition larger charities enjoy, it can be a tough task. But the Guardian award, backed this year by Sainsbury's, offers a leg up. One of this year's winners, Iroko Theatre Company, which uses traditional African storytelling, music and dance to enhance children's confidence, is typical in hoping that the award will strengthen its case for support when it applies to future funders.
Alan Rusbridger, the Guardian editor, who presented the prizes at a ceremony at Shakespeare's Globe theatre in London, pointed out that past winners had indeed successfully used their £5,000 prizes as seed funding to attract larger pots of money. "It is disproportionally difficult for smaller charities to gain publicity - which is why our awards go for this scale," he said.
Simon Armson, chief executive of the Samaritans and chair of the judging panel, said of this year's winners: "We were particularly looking for innovation, and each was able to demonstrate creative thinking and a pioneering spirit, while their projects have the ability to be replicated across the country and reach parts of the community that others cannot reach."
Iroko and another winner, ClearVision, which produces specially adapted books for visually impaired children to share with their sighted family and friends, already operate nationally. Yet both charities say that many people who could benefit from their service remain unaware of their existence.
For that reason, they will be putting some of their prize money into boosting publicity materials to help spread the word. Iroko will also be producing a pack to help teachers put into practice the lessons from the group's workshops. "It's amazing how our African art can engage pupils who are resistant to formal teaching meth ods," said Alex Oma-Pius, Iroko's artistic director.
Armson pointed out that two of this year's other winners, Doorstep and Homeshare, succeeded in bringing together different, and too often separate, sections of society. Homeshare matches elderly householders with young people who can keep an eye on their welfare, and lend a hand, in return for a cheap room, while Doorstep brings community resources together to help the young homeless and jobless of the Grimsby area.
Unemployed Guy Brunt, 24, who took time off from learning bricklaying skills to attend the award ceremony on behalf of Doorstep, said: "I've finally found something I really enjoy doing. The project has given me the chance to gain qualifications and see what it's like to work on a proper building site."
This year's fifth winner is Magic Carpet, which runs creative and therapeutic activities for disabled and disadvantaged groups in Exeter. With the help of the award, it hopes to mark its 21st anniversary next year by extending its work outside the city.
Almost 200 charities sought recognition this year. Jan Shawe, director of corporate relations at Sainsbury's and a member of the judging panel, said: "While we make a significant contribution to a number of national initiatives - such as Comic Relief and Crisis FareShare - we also work closely within the communities where our customers and colleagues live and in which we have our stores. The Guardian's support for these smaller charities helps us to spotlight and help these essential smaller voluntary groups."
The other judges were Naomi Eisenstadt, chief executive of the government's Sure Start programme, Nick Hardwick, chief executive of the Refugee Council, and David Brindle, editor of Guardian Society.
· Details of the Guardian Charity Award 2002, the 10th year of the scheme, will be available next March.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 511018
syck-php doesn't build with PHP 5.3.0
Last modified: 2010-02-17 10:45:33 EST
I'm working on rebuilding all PHP extension against new 5.3.0 version.
syck fails :
/home/extras/BUILD/syck-0.61+svn231+patches/ext/php/phpext.c:24: error: static declaration of 'nan' follows non-static declaration
/home/extras/BUILD/syck-0.61+svn231+patches/ext/php/phpext.c: In function 'nan':

Upstream seems not active for syck ?
Need to be investigated.
Does http://pecl.php.net/package/syck is the same extension ?
Seems the PECL extension is the same but maintained one.
The build issue (nan function) seems not PHP 5.3 related...
I've add a little patch which solves this (same change found in http://github.com/why/syck/blob/a4f241be5d247853aea6127d02dbdedd8a1dd477/ext/php/phpext.c)
syck-0.61-8.3 build in Rawhide.
PHP extension build, install and load fine.
Please, check my changes and close this bug if all is ok.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle.
Changing version to '12'.
More information and reason for this action is here:
I missed this one... :-/
Everything works. However, the package could need more love. Especially because there's a new upstream version hosted somewhere else and all the extensions are moved to other locations...
I hope I can do this at some point in time.

The manufactued Existance continuedMature
November 28th, 17-86
After a large deal of revisiting and weighing out the possible outcomes and what I want to achieve I have decided the use of a robotic exoskeleton isn't powerful enough to create life. It is creating a false human that is actually robotic which could be potentially terrifying to many which is not what I have set out to accomplish. Therefore, I have decided to advance with my original success. I will have all of the parts I require to create such a brilliant Idea.
December 2nd, 17-86
To my delight the cold and depression of the seasons hath not yet landed and merely only approaches which allows the earth to cease its freeze now. I have obtained all of the parts I require to begin assembling my masterpiece. The horrific limbs I collected were all in proportion to that of a normal specimen. This was to maintain the look and feel of normality and this can be achieved because it is less challenging to connect veins and small organs as it once was. This is due to the evolution of science that has allowed the implements of x-rays and small cameras to allow vision of what occurs within the creation. I am very excited to begin production of this pure scientific genius.
December 8th, 17-86
I have began assembly of the creation that will no doubt change the planet, from which will result in the construct of life without requiring a mate. I began by attaching the major limbs together, to form a human like figure where I will begin the assembly of life. I first sewed the head to the torso which was trying because for the artificial human to have the ability to move it's head the stitches would come out so this "human" will not have the ability to move it's head, but alive nonetheless! Then came the arms, once again because they were sewed to the torso movement was only capable from the forearms down. Finally, the legs were sutured, but because they pose the same issue as the head and arms the capability to walk will be limited to no walking capability at all. For now this will suffice, but despite the misfortune that has come to this being it will be alive and all that matters is that life was created.
December 27th, 17-86
The body has been assembled all that must be completed is the attachment of the of the internal organs that were generously donated by various people. The body is under a CAT scan apparatus to view what the specimen's internal systems appear to be. I cut the being open and began to attach the internal organs in their correct location, an example diagram has been provided to how this shall appear normally. This was the most challenging process due to the sheer number of systems required within the normal human body. After the internal parts were attached, the nose and ears were fastened to the body. This was done last because it was easier to attach them if the rest of the body's systems were functioning.
March 22nd, 17-87
These past few months I have had little to no sleep because I have been working so diligently on my creation. Inside I don't want to go to sleep in fear he might come to life and walk away. This would be the worst possible thing because then someone else will take the credit and I won't get my award. For this reason I have sacrificed sleep in order to protect and create this amalgamation of life.
March 27th, 17-87
I have decided how I shall bring a breath into my creation, it shall work because it makes the most logical sense. I shall place a defibrillator to start the heart and begin pumping blood, but simultaneously I shall send electrical impulses through the brain just as if they were brain signals. This makes the being come to life because if all of the systems are working then it theoretically should rise up and capture the spark of what once was the elixir of life.
April 1st, 17-87
This isn't a birthday because birth was not given on this day only life. My pure inarguable genius has worked, the being is alive!. After the first attempt I created the electrical impulses to be in closer intervals which was enough power to restart the systems and yes, life has now been created.
April 2nd, 17-87
He hath fled. My creation of pure scientific genius has been stolen just as I hath feared, it is the men in suits. They consistently steal my creations, and create billions of them. My creativity and fame is stolen and to reduced quality. They keep me alive by nurturing me. In return they steal my ideas, and produce them as their own to feed their consumption of constant entertainment. Why must i continuously be this lab rat? I have become their invention. In the way that I attempt to create fame off my inventions, they create fame off me. There is no purpose on continuing this wretched world. Where the creation's life began, mine shall conclude.

When Mela agreed to go on a diplomatic trip to the island nation for her mother, she didn't expect to be roped into saving the base of her worlds population from having their home turned to iron.
Armed with little knowledge of survival in the wild, she has to join six other children of nobility, five of which have never slept outside a night in their lives, teach them to fight, and teach them to live.
translations for this chapter:
Nuevo solabon, tu shockai :: Good morning, my shockai.
Meit :: Mother
Shockontal :: Above deserter.
Shockonte :: Below deserter.
Shoke :: Desert lily
Demeit :: Grandmother
Chapter One
It was a chilly day. Not unusually so, but enough to wake Mela from her sleep. Goosebumps had stretched across her grayish skin in the night. Its wasn't a problem, the Shockonte, the people of under the desert, were used to the cold. The underwater caverns they lived in and the rivers that were their life sources were startling icy, and Mela, like any other, was used too it in its entirety. But coming out of her rest freezing was something she'd never been able to grasp.
Mela rolled over on the cool stone, standing carefully. The cavern was lit with the same, eerie, yellow light, but today was decidedly different from every other day so far. Mela's mother was leaving as diplomat today, separating her and Mela from Mela's father and brother, as the matriarchal society presiding over Shocka called for women diplomats, with daughters. Mela was nervous too leave her father and her brother, the two were practically another extension over her soul.
Speak of the devil. "Mela! You're up!" Que shouted happily from the river, where he was playing with the children. Mela adjusted her breast band and loincloth quickly, striding to the riverside at the same time, and she decided that sitting on the rocks, and dipping her feet into the chill water, would be better than a shock from jumping in. They said the waters at dvel were warm, but every water she'd ever come acrossonteorontalhad been icy cold. She imagined warm water for the briefest moment. It must be the highest of luxury.
Shava appeared next to Mela suddenly, her little black curls glinting, her wide, toothy smile dominating her tiny face. Shava was dripping wet, and she gave Mela an enthusiastic, damp, good morning hug. If Mela weren't awake before, she definitely was now. "Greetings, Shava." She said kindly, and the little girl smiles in return.
Shava speaks tentatively, her words slow and steady. "Nuevo solabon, tu shockai." She says, her voice growing confident as she finishes the old Shockenese sentence. Good morning, my shockai. As Shava's mentor, a teenager guide for a child, Mela had one of many duties to teach Shava Shockenese, the ancient language of their culture, which was supposed to link fluidly with the Frackei Shava was born speaking. It was an effort.
"You're getting really good, Shava!" Mela praised, and as her attention is turned to her, Que lumbered over, shaking out his long, ratty hair all over Mela, dotting her with second hand water. "You jerk!" She squealed, pulling her legs up, and attempting to kick Que, attempt being the key word in the sentence.
"Morning, little sister!" Que yelled, throwing his dripping arms around her for good measure, and picked her straight off the rock and into the air.
"Put! Me! Down! Que, stop!" Mela shrieked, but its lost on him, and he dragged her out to deeper waters of the river amongst her protests, finally dumping her in the chill water. "I hate you!" Mela squealed after surfacing.
"You secretly love me, Mela. Just admit it." Que said, smiling his signature smirk. "And you love me even more for making sure you were awake on your big day."
Mela splashed him quickly, before diving under water and swimming away. She got to the shore faster than him by a lot, but she was always the quickest swimmer. She shook herself off, and waves her hair around to free it of dampness, before dashing up the rocky shore and up to her mother and the other adults, plopping herself down next to her mother a little less than gracefully.
"Good morning, Mela." Her mother said, her voice masking her disapproval just slightly. "I have some shellfish today. Your father traded them from ashockontallast night as a special treat." She says, cracking one of them open skillfully with a knife, as she spoke of her father's trade with his own, the people of Shocka above the ground.
"They look delicious,meit." Mela says, sinking into customs as she speaks the formal word for mother. She grabbed a silver dagger laying at her mother's side and shelled a oyster in the pile open a crack, sucking out the meat through the crack noisily.
"You know Mela, the Dvelen will not appreciate that, dear. This is a lot of what they eat, and as an ambassadors daughter, they would expect you to eat like a lady." Her mother said disapprovingly, as she stabs the meat of one she has pried open with the tip of her knife, pulling it off the dagger in a manner almost considered dainty. "They will, of course, have forks in Dvel, though."
"I understand,meit." Mela said, finishing her meal carefully with the dagger in silence, as the last she needs today is to split her lips, and somehow, the food wasn't as enjoyable and special anymore.
"Father!" Mela squeals, sinking into the Frackei language with ease. Her father approaches slowly, throwing his arms around his daughter when he gets to her, hugging her firmly.
"Good tidings,tu shoke." He says, sitting down slowly. He always preferred Shockenese pet names, this one meaning "my desert lily". Her father had been raised as ashockontal, and within the wanderer group he lived in, nobody could speak Frackei, seeing as nobody had left but once to attempt to learn the strange language, a simplified mesh of Caratian, Dvelen, and their own Shockenese. Her father's Frackei was shaky at best, having jumped into learning it through total immersion on his wife's part at the age of twenty five. They had met in one of the largest city springs, Afrekaa, when Mela's mother had been visiting the city too see friends. She eventually brought theshockontalhome, teaching him the twists and turns of the underground pathways. And ask their children grew, he explained that he spoke Frackei better with his loved ones, and they practiced Shockenese with him, in return for him getting to practice Frackei with them.
Mela scooted over too sit closer into her father, breathing in the eternal scent of cinnamon that seemed to cling to his skin. Pele, her father, was a hardly skilled sorcerer, and everyone knew that somewhere within him he had a touch of Caratian sorcerer blood. They said the ground in the Caratian forest of Mekcrut was dripping with magic, and the sons of the forest would pass on the gift. But Pele's magic was subtle in nature, a sense of charisma that made him attractive as a being and a smart trader. It wasn't something Pele liked too flaunt.
After the meal, it was time to say goodbye. Pele would accompany them to the port, and the journey would be a quick one there. They'd make it too the ships, meet the shockontal representatives, get on board and be on their merry way to Dvel. But why was Mela so nervous?
Goodbyes were rough. The part that hurt Mela the most was Shava, innocent little Shava was losing her mentor early. Shava was carrying something heavy wrapped in plant fibers when she came up to Mela.
"Shava! Thank you!" Mela gushed, and Shava smiles, handing the package to her guide with a manner almost resembling caution.. Mela untied the root knot, unearthing a clay charm. It's been shaped into a diamond, dotted with punctures. A charm for protection from bad spirits. Tradition said the evil ones would be confused by the punctures, and believe that another was already occupying this body, and they would turn away.
"It's mine." Shava said, almost bashful. "But there are more demons the farther you go from home, so you should need it more." Shava said, picking up the charm and tying the string around Mela's skin, the brown knot resting on grayish skin. "Promise me you will stay safe, Mela?" She asked, clasping Mela's hands.
"Always." Mela said, squeezing her hands reassuringly, pulling the little girl in a hug. "Actually, I have something for you. To say goodbye." She said, and Shava's eyes lighted up.
"A present?" She asked eagerly, pulling away and smiling that impish grin at Mela.
"Of course. Ah, here it is!" Mela said, pulling it out of her traveling cloak. Its was a toy made of Caratian wood, carved into a galloping horse. A gift from her father.
"Mela, its beautiful." Shava whispered, cradling the horse. "Thank you."
"There is no need to thank when you deserve what you have been given." Mela said, tangling her fingers in the girl's soft, ashen hair one last time. "I love you, Shava." She said.
"I love you too Mela. Nobody could be a better mentor than you." Shava whispered, wrapping her bony arms around Mela one last time, before Que picks up his sister from behind, and she started screaming all the way.
"Que! Put me down!" She shrieked, and he plops her feet first back on the cave floor, where she adjusted herself quickly. "What is it with you and throwing me around, you freak?" She screamed dramatically.
Que just punched her in the shoulder playfully. "It always gets you worked up," he grins, and Mela just grimaces, as their mother distantly shouts, "be kind, Mela!" While saying goodbye to her girls.
"Aw, you know you love me, little sister." Que said mocking her, ruffling her hair, and Mela just scowls.
"You keep telling yourself that." Mela decided, slugging her brother in his own shoulder, and somebody tugs on her traveling pants. "Oh! Hello Po!" She said, turning around to greet her brothers mentee sweetly. Po is younger than Shava, because Que's old mentee got to old to have a mentor. Po was short and chubby with baby fat, and his teeth weren't all grown in yet. Mela plucked the toddler off of the ground, who giggled and pulled her hair. "Ow." Mela said, swatting his hand away gently. "I see you're teaching your mentee well, Que." She sighed, and Que grinned.
"Hey, gotta get 'em young." Que laughed, pulling Po away from his little sister, balancing the child easily on his shoulders.
"Goni must be so pleased with this." Mela smirks, bringing up Po's strict mother, and Que laughs heartily.
"Well, she's the one that wanted me to take on her kid!" He says mock defensively, because honestly, Goni had no other choice, and Po laughed and clapped his hands quickly, before taking his own grip on Que's long and shaggy hair, and tugging. "Ow, you little jerk!" Que exclaimed.
"Well, you know, you get whats coming for you, Que. You just got it in the form of a two year old." She says, before blowing a kiss to Po, and hugging her brother, and walking back to her mother, who's beckoning her over.
With one last wave goodbye as she shouldered her pack, Mela watches her favorite people in the world disappear as she makes a bend in the tunnel.
After they made a short walk, they had boarded a river boat through a much deeper spring that would take them to the shore city of Gosha. Gosha was a shock to Mela, the dazzling sunlight suddenly seemed so strange in comparison to the lightest desert visits on day trips the group sometimes went on. Everywhere, people tried to sell her things, and in a moment of weakness, Pele bought his daughter a sword.
It was average, really, gilded in the amethyst so often found in Shocka, with a gleaming blade. It was a light sword, but the tip was very sharp, slicing the samples the shop keeper showed Pele and Mela with ease.
Mela handled the sword like an extension of her arm, trying to recall the advice a trainer called Asu had given her and Que all those years ago, balancing her body and tuning out distractions. She knew what this sword was though, this sword, it was hers.
Her father handed the shop keeper a sack of gold coins, and he helped Mela position the sword in its belt. With this, Mela suddenly felt so much stronger.
They kept walking through the cobble stone streets until the met the shore, and the steamboat. The Dvelens were eager to show off this new innovation of theirs, and for this first embassy they were providing all the ambassadors with free transportation via steam boat. That was when Mela met Drackai.
Drackai's name wasn't really a name, it was a word. Smart man, in Shockenese. Drackai's skin was dark as night from hours laboring in the desert, but seemed a little skittish, even with his brutishly muscled body, that came from hard manual labor. Mela was surprised it was a boy at all, usually only women and their daughters went as ambassadors. This meant the ambassador had no daughter. Just this Drackai, as his mother had introduced her too him.
When his mother walked over too talk to one of the Dvelen sailors, Drackai finally spoke. "Don't call me Drackai." He said, his voice slightly rough, brown eyes narrowed. It sounded like he didn't use it much.
"What should I call you then?" Mela asked, trying to be kind with this strange, aggressive boy. He was a wild card in the truest sense of world.
"Ckai." Drackai said, his voice a little steadier now, but this time he held out a roughly calloused hand. Mela grasped it gingerly, and he shook roughly, but it didn't feel sincere, as if he was trying to seem tough, dangerous.
"If that's what you want." She said decisively. "Call me Mela." She said, remembering that she had not introduced herself before.
"That's a pretty name." Ckai said, and he seemed a little nicer now, Mela mused, but he still seemed so painfully lonely. She had a feeling that Ckai was used to being pushed around—the matriarchal society they lived in tended to favor more feminine mannered boys, and the shyer, less talkative boys ended up even more excluded than their more brutish piers.
When Mela got to her cabin, she marveled. The seats were lined with soft fabric, and a funny little switch in the wall flooded the room with artificial light. She touched the ball of yellow the light emanated from, and almost burned her fingers, but she just laughed. It was so interesting! She had always know Dvelens to be inventive, but this was just beyond inventive—it was amazing. She undid the clasp to the neck cuff, she wore for the status symbol, setting it on a marble table top jutting from the wall and removed her travel shoes, when there was a knock on the door.
"Hello?" She called out sweetly, letting down her hair from its knot and fluffing it down her shoulders as she spoke, awaiting the response.
"Um, Mela, is it okay for me to come in?" Ckai asked his voice a little higher in awkwardness, and Mela knew the reason he even asked instead of just barging in, he was really asking, are you decent?
"Yes, you can Ckai!" Mela calls, opening the door quickly, and Ckai appears through it, his short hair so different from Que's.
Mela sat down on the bed as Ckai spoke. "I was just wondering, do you know why we're going to Dvel? Its the wrong time of year for the usual conferences." He asks, and sits right down on her couch. "Sorry for not talking before, by the way."
"No, I don't, Ckai. They wouldn't tell my mom anything, I just figured it's because its her first time as an ambassador, since my demeit died. And its alright, I didn't mind. You just seem shy."
"Sorry?" Ckai says, unsure where to go from there. He definitely didn't seem to be much of a people person, but Mela figured he must have had a bit of a soft spot for her so far, and he's not sure to react to the news of her grandfather's death. Its almost... sweet. "And yeah, I am kind of shy. Sorry."
"Don't be. On both accounts." Mela says, "I never met her for more than a couple minutes, really. She spent all her time in Gosha. She honestly wasn't a very good representative of the Shockonte." Mela finishes, and Ckai smiles.
"She did seem kind of behind the times when I knew her." He says with a smile. "Me and the others used to call her the witch lady."
"The others?" Mela asks, straining with curiosity. She knew the children of the other head ambassadors would be there, but if Ckai could tell her about them it would make it that much easier.
"Well, I can't give a very good representative of them, seeing as I don't really like most of them, and they think I'm an antisocial weirdo, but I can tell you a little about them."
"Please?" Mela asks, smiling a little bit, and Ckai looks like he's trying to smash down a grin as they gossiped like old women.
"Well, there are three Dvelens because one of the Dvelen ambassadors has twins. The girl is named Mnvenia. She is Mnvenie's twin sister. The other boy is Charstk." Ckai says, struggling too say the last one's name. It was decidedly harder to say Dvelen words with a Shockai accent, because Shockenese names and words so heavily relied on the vowels over the consonants. "Charstk and Mnvenia are engaged for an arranged marriage. They're friends, but last I checked they both kind of resent the engagement. But in Dvelen marriages aren't love bonds. They're a political scheme." Ckai says, and Mela broods over this information thoughtfully.
"That's interesting." Mela says. "Its very different from here," she continues, "I suppose that marriage is more of a lawful institute there than it is here."
"It is." Ckai confirms. "They treat marriages like we treat partnerships between the women. They live together, share money and bills, and can represent each other."
"Oh, I get it now." Mela says decisively. "I feel kind of bad for... Ch-charsttick and Mnveniah." She says, struggling to get out the words.
Ckai grins. "Like this," he says, demonstrating "Chaars-tuk, and Mmmvenia." He says, climbing onto the bed and grabbing Mela's wrists, all inhibitions with shyness lost as he gets more comfortable. Its nice, simple.
"Charstk and Mnvenia." She says, smiling when she wrapped her tongue around the foreign names. "Now tell me about the Caratians!" She says excitedly.
"Sandre and Megar." Ckai says thoughtfully. "They're kind of... dim, I suppose. They have trouble wrapping their heads around new things. Somewhere on another Dvelen steamboat, those boys have probably killed themselves with these new appliances already. They're a little younger than us, and very excitable." Ckai says, his voice laced with a little more contempt as he described the Caratians.
"You don't like them very much." Mela comments, and Ckai blushs a little bit.
"Do I make it that obvious?" He laughs, and Mela grins, as the conversation drifts away as they grow tired, and Mela falls asleep in Ckai's arms. And it feels safe.
