The TEDGlobal 2010 conference in Oxford has just come to an end and the "ideas worth spreading" have been let loose on the population. TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) was founded by Richard Saul Wurman in 1984 with the aim to spread brilliant thoughts and theories on the basis that ideas truly can change the world. The conference featured 60 speakers who each had 18 minutes to explain their idea to an audience of 750 individuals. Online however, millions will be watching the talks as the site has been one of the most popular in the last 5 years, with more than 300 million people tuning in to witness the magic. This year featured a range of speakers from very varied backgrounds including science, entertainment, technology, the arts and music. Annie Lennox was there to talk about human rights and there were several musicians in the line-up who all work with a range of very varied styles. Thomas Dolby is an electronic music pioneer who links the divide between music and technology. Mor Karbasi is a singer-songwriter who works with a whole "melting pot" of Middle-Eastern music, and Karsu Donmez has created a unique blues fusion coloured by her experiences of jazz, Chopin and Turkish music. This fusion of styles, tastes and ideas is synonymous with the themes of TED and the idea that the best way to grow is to broaden our horizons and combine the concepts and experiences of many different themes and forms of knowledge, without limiting ourselves to a more blinkered path which stands no chance of developing any originality. It is an important theme in many areas of life, from inter-disciplinary work within policy departments and academia, to the world of any business which seeks to be innovative.
Benjamin Zander is one of the pioneers who seeks to show how taking analogies from another world such as music and applying them to the world of business can really open the creative valves and inspire the development of new ways of thinking about business and a new perspective - a fresh approach which can send any business on a more innovative and original path. Benjamin specifically focuses on leadership and 'The Art of Possibility' looking at the structure of business alongside the structure of an orchestra. His talks are described as an experience rather than a speech per se and other speakers who work in this vein include Charles Hazlewood and Dame Evelyn Glennie, an incredible percussionist who has never let her complete loss of hearing limit her musical pursuits. Charles has conducted at the BBC Proms and Carnegie Hall during his incredible career and has been busy working on an orchestral festival at his Somerset farm called "Play the Field" in collaboration with Deborah Meaden, the entrepreneur, investor and very successful Dragon. Last year they were both joined by Kevin McCloud, Simon King and Amanda Lamb in their aim to make music more accessible to everyone. Charles delivers a brilliant motivational experience as well as interactive workshops and like Evelyn Glennie, looks at the importance of leadership and listening with a new and original approach.
So Happy Birthday Evelyn and wishing one and all a wonderful, musical Summer!

By Dan Nelson
Vaughan earns first win of the season
James Vaughan continued his hot streak in front of goal to earn Town their first win of the season at Millwall.
The striker scored his fourth goal in three games to succumb Millwall to their third defeat of the season. The goal, which came after Town had passed up a number of good openings, arrived in the 57th minute from the boot of Adam Hammill and head of James Vaughan.
The win was Town's first at the Den since 2007 when Andy Booth and Malvin Kamara scored in a 2-1 victory.
Town made one change to the team that drew with QPR last week. Jonathan Hogg, who missed out through illness, returned in place of Oscar Gobern, who had to settle for a place on the bench.
Both Oliver Norwood and Martin Paterson started on the back of their midweek international exploits for Northern Ireland, with the latter leading the line with top scorer James Vaughan.
Millwall Captain Danny Shittu had looked suspect up against Jermaine Beckford last season and it appeared from the opening exchanges that Town would try and target him. Paterson, fresh from an international goal, was playing off the powerful defender's shoulder and almost got in behind in the third minute.
The Lions' new Manager Steve Lomas was already under pressure following two defeats in the League, but his side showed no signs of negativity during the opening stages with Jermaine Easter having a strike ruled out in the fourth minute following a foul in the box.
To add to that, they should have been ahead a few minutes later when on loan striker Steve Morison rose highest in the box, but failed to even find the target with his header.
As in Town's opening three games, James Vaughan was providing the Terriers' main attacking threat and he possibly should have done better with a header in the 13th minute. He went closer in the 27th minute, though, when he did superbly to tussle ahead of Shittu and latch onto Adam Hammill's long ball before seeing his shot on the stretch well saved.
Between Vaughan's efforts, Shaun Derry had blasted over from close range after Town had failed to deal with a corner.
Morison and Norwood then exchanged efforts before Clayton's ball over the top once again freed Paterson in behind Shittu, but once again Bywater was on hand to block the striker's shot.
Millwall began the second 45 with far more impetus and after Jermaine Easter had wriggled free of Peter Clarke James Henry curled an effort away from Alex Smithies' goal.
Town, who hadn't been at their fluent best during the opening forays of the second half, made the breakthrough their first half display had deserved in the 57th minute – and of course it came courtesy of James Vaughan. Paterson had done well to earn the Terriers a corner following sloppy Millwall play at the back and from it the striker bulleted a header home from Hammill's cross.
Hammill's work was done for the day and he was replaced by Calum Woods as Mark Robins looked to protect the lead. Sean Scannell was also in the action after replacing Paterson and his clever run off Shittu with twenty minutes to go allowed Clayton space to drive and force Bywater into a smart low save.
Moments later the midfielder passed up a great opportunity to double the lead. Faced one on one with Shittu courtesy of Norwood's pass, Clayton tried to dribble past the defender instead of shooting and was marshalled clear of danger.
The home side flashed a number of balls across Town's box and Morison had another header comfortably saved by Smithies, but they never really looked like troubling the stopper as the Terriers defended stoutly to record their first three points of the season.
Town's team (3-5-2):
Alex Smithies; Joel Lynch, Anthony Gerrard, Peter Clarke (c); Jake Carroll, Oliver Norwood (Oscar Gobern, 86), Jonathan Hogg, Adam Clayton, Adam Hammill (Calum Woods, 65); Martin Paterson (Sean Scannell, 56), James Vaughan
Unused substitutes:
Ian Bennett, Danny Ward, Jon Stead, Jack Hunt
Millwall bookings: Danny Shittu, 89
Town bookings: Alex Smithies, 82
Attendance: 9,503
Away: 564
Town was the first club to win three successive league titles in 1926. Only Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United have matched this feat.

Well, some time has passed since I was on Catster last and I'm sure some of my furriends think I have disappeared. So, let's see, what has been happening to keep me away.
First of all, Dad was in the hospital for two days last month and Mom was very worried about him. He wasn't feeling well late in the week and by the time he agreed to see a doctor it was the weekend and the on call doctor suggested he go to the ER and have a chest x-ray. Well, Mom took him to the ER and they kept him there in triage for several hours giving him nebulizer treatments and keeping him on oxygen; they did a chest x-ray and lots of other things and then they admitted him. Boy was he surprised! Mom wasn't; she was pretty sure they were going to keep him. His breathing was terrible and he had a really nasty cough. The doctors figured that it was a bad bronchial infection coupled with COPD and he wasn't going anyplace. So he spent Saturday and Sunday night in the hospital and came home Monday. He then saw his primary doctor who confirmed that yes, they were right to admit him to the hospital because he was very ill. Dad is doing much better now and he is not smoking anymore. Mom quit a year ago and now Dad has quit too. The house smells much better now, MOL!
Last Thursday Shadow and I were scheduled to go to the vet for our annual checkups and shots. Shadow decided that she didn't want to go that day and went all the way up on the top of the kitchen cabinets where no one can get her, so Mom took me alone. I have to go back next Monday for my echocardiogram for my heart murmur and stay overnight so that Tuesday they can clean my teeth and remove a small tumor/cyst from my right rear leg. I had to go the vet earlier this month because I was limping and the x-rays showed that I have arthritis in my front legs and shoulders. Now I am on another medicine. Mom says I am catching up to her, MOL!!
Well, that's about it for now. I have to go eat so Shadow doesn't get all of my food. I'll catch you all later. It's good to be back and we will try to be here more frequently.
First, let me say how pleased and shocked I was to be chosen for DOTD on Saturday. What an honor!
So, now, back to last week. Mom and Dad did their best to keep me from jumping on and off things but seriously, who can keep a cat from jumping and climbing. They did keep my cat tree locked in the bathroom so I couldn't jump on that. My limp did get a little better during the week but as soon as the medicine wore off (Caturday) I started limping badly again that night. Mom called the vet and made an appointment for me to have x-ray's tomorrow (Monday). So now I had to stop eating at 9:00 PM and won't get anything to eat until sometime tomorrow. Mom is worried but I try to keep her spirits up by sitting on her lap and purring.
So, all my furriends, I hope to have some good news for you soon. And now, since I can't have anything to eat, I think I will say good night and go to bed.
Mom and Dad took me to the vet on Monday because I have developed a limp in my right front leg. The vet checked me over very carefully and couldn't find anything wrong. He gave me a pain killer and anti inflammatory that lasts 5 days and said he would call us on Thursday to see how I am doing. Oh, he also said I couldn't climb, jump, get up in my cat tree or anything else. Well, my cat tree is now in the bathroom and the door is closed so I can't get to it. I do still have to jump up on the chair and things like that but it is not too high.
Mom and Dad say that I am doing a little better but I still have the limp so they will see if the vet says I need x-rays tomorrow when he calls. I also have a lump on my right rear thigh that the vet tried to aspirate on Monday but he couldn't get anything from it. Mom and Dad have decided to have that taken out once I have recovered from this limp. That means I have to have another echocardiogram and blood tests because of my heart murmur.
I guess they love me a lot because they spend an awful lot of money on me for vet bills.
More later.

Just picked up this one for a song at the shop that came in on a trade, hardly fired and like new.
I replaced the plastic guiderod with a custom stainless machined by Steve Bedair out of Texas [ http://www.bedair.org/P226/Guiderod.html ]; replaced the recoil spring with a Wolff 18# in lieu of the 17# factory [ I shoot 147's, not 115 ]; ordered 4 new Mec-Gar mags for it [ have six now ]; replaced the two factory mag springs with +5's from Wolff as well.
The grips were custom ordered from http://ghostholster.com/catalog/prod...roducts_id=306
in thin Cocobolo, fully checkered.
I really like this one. It points naturally and is ultra reliable through several hundred rds downrange last week. 14+1 147 gr Win Rangers reside in this one as well.

My Idea of a fair fight is beating baby seals with a club
Your going to love that pistol. It's a great carry piece, accurate, reliable etc. Get some good snap caps and dry fire it 500-1000 times and the trigger turns to butter. (try AZOOM caps, their worth the money) Also get Wolff's extra power extractor spring and at the first sign of ANY problem, take out the stock spring and install the x power one. Also if you want to you can go to a slightly lighter hammer spring (as I did) to help a bit on DA. Don't go more than a couple of #'s lighter and test for 100% reliability. 1500plus rounds in mine and NO FTF or FTE. Get a good holster. Check out K&D holsters. I have a OWB and an IWB, and couldn't be more satisfied. Great leather, great prices, and Kevins a super guy to work with to get just the right leather for you.. Here's a couple of sites that deal with CZ's and can answer many of your questions.
There's a reason they call them the poor man's SIG!
Be safe..
Thanks for the info.
I've been to the links, good related info there as you suggest.
I've talked with Kevin this last week, and have a custom holster being made to my requirements based on anothers suggestion in another thread here.
I've carried it for two weeks or thereabouts, it weighs exactly 33.5 ounces with 15 rds of 147 gr Win Rangers in the mag and pipe. The custom grips are thinner so the LOP is shorter, giving me plenty of room to get proper trigger control as the rubber grips didn't give me enough trigger finger on the trigger as I'm accustomed to.
Wolff sent the extractor and firing pin springs with the +5 mag kits. I'm aware of keeping the extractor cleaned properly to avoid issues in that area. The boys in the know tell me to not touch the firing pin spring unless there are issues one day.
Easy enough to change out both if and when it's necessary though.
Stay sharp
The mind is the limiting factor
Quick Kill Rifle and Pistol Instructor
How do you like the checkering on the wood grips? I'm looking for wood grips on my P-01, and those might fit the bill.
The checkering is not sharp [ deep cut ], gives a fair purchase over a smooth grip design, and are not so pronounced like some are prone to be when new.
I found that the new grips are relieved a little too much and just barely bind the mag from dropping free on their own. I'm going to relieve them a little which should correct that issue. Thought I'd at least mention it this to you and others, not a big deal, but there nonetheless.
Good luck with your P01 sir.

Idyllic, rural retreat.
About the Owner
About Mrs Hazel Marsh
We started taking holidays in Pembrokeshire when our children were small and wanted to buy somewhere we could all use as a family to keep and treasure for years to come. We love going to the house and hope that it will bring much pleasure to anyone staying.
Mrs Hazel Marsh purchased this cottage in 2009
Why Mrs Hazel Marsh chose St Brides Bay, St Davids & The West Coast
We wanted to buy a bolt hole in a beautiful location near the sea so that we could just take off for the weekend or during the school holidays at a moments notice.
Pembrokeshire and St David's in particular is a wonderful location near endless lovely beaches, somewhere we can relax and will never tire of.
What makes this cottage unique
It is furnished to a very high standard as it was designed for our own use and has a touch of luxury that you might not find in other properties.
It is in a semi rural location, close to the sea with the convenience of lovely St David's just a short cycle ride away with beautiful beaches, scenery and coastal walks.

Idyllic, rural retreat.
I had booked a surprise weekend break for my husband's birthday and this property delivered in every aspect.A peaceful and beautiful location, just over a mile from central St David's. The cottage was beautifully decorated to a very high standard, with excellent quality bedding and linens as well as furniture made to relax in. The property was very well equipped with everything from a hairdryer to dishwasher and every room was spotlessly clean. There was plenty to do in around St David's - cliff jumping in Abereiddy, walks along the coastal path, surfing in Whitesands and plenty more information and ideas in the information book at the property. There are plenty of places to eat out, in and around St David's, again plenty of recommendations in the information book. Thanks also to Fey for meeting us on arrival and to Hazel for opening up her home to guests. Hope to be back soon.
Stylish and full of character
Just a mile or so from St David's, this very stylish Chapel conversion works extremely well, and is a great base to stay in a popular area. The Old Chapel is comfortable, cosy, and smart - well thought-out, with good facilities for cooking, dining, and chilling out (not sure about the cooker controls, but it all worked!).
Great bedrooms and bathrooms, and a sunny patio at the rear.
We were delighted to find this retreat and hope to return - highly recommended on all fronts.
Fantastic property and location!!
I have stayed in this property a number of times, returning because we love it so much. It is a beautiful property, which has been renovated to an excellent standard and is a very special place. It is in a wonderful location, well located for both a number of fabulous beaches, walks and also close to the lovely town of St David's.
The property is light, airy, well laid out and very clean, with high quality furnishings, bed linen and towels. The owners are very helpful and I would thoroughly recommend this property. It is one of my favourite places.
Little Gem....
Wow... we loved this place!
The cottage is a little piece of tranquillity set on the stunning Pembrokeshire Coast.
On arrival we instantly switched off from the worries and stresses of everyday life - the whole place has a really calming influence on you by the way it's decorated and by the beautiful setting and surroundings.
We enjoyed coastal walks and fresh air (as well as a few visits to one of the many lovely local pubs... 'The Sloop Inn' in Porthgain is a must)!
With a 4 year old we were concerned that there wouldn't be much in the way of entertainment for him but we needn't have worried - trips to the beach, fish & chips on the sand and a impromptu swim in the Blue Lagoon were enough to put a smile on his face and with all the fresh air it was early nights for him and time for the adults to enjoy a bottle of wine on the outside deck area and watch the sunset... perfect!
Luxury idyllic coastal retreat
We hesitated to write a recommendation, because the more people who know how wonderful this property is, the harder it will be for us to book it again. We will be back! Hazel and Paul have done a fantastic job of renovating this amazing coastal retreat. The location is perfect with lovely beaches close by. We were spoilt for choice with lovely restaurants in St David's which is just 5 mins. We enjoyed many coastal path walks which ended in cream teas or a cold glass of wine or beer in the harbour. Our son and daughter enjoyed the surfing at whitesands beach, whilst we lazed in the sunshine.

Pembrokeshire and St David's in particular is a wonderful location near endless lovely beaches, somewhere we can relax and will never tire of."
Activity and Interests
Whitesands is the closest beach, just over 2 miles away and approx 5 minutes drive or a walk across country. It is a beautiful sandy beach in the National Park which has a 'blue flag' award. Caerfai bay is through St Davids, past the visitors centre and approx 5 minutes by car. It is a lovely sandy cove surrounded by coastal paths, parking is at the top of the cliff and access to the beach is steep. The views from the top are stunning and should not be missed....
Use of a car would be advisable however there are plenty of cycle routes in the National Park.
St Davids, the lovely smallest cathedral city in the UK is just over a mile away. There are plenty of places of interest to visit including Solva a harbour village 10 mins, Porthgain 10 mins in the opposite direction - another harbour with pub, fish restaurant and gallery. The well known Blue Lagoon hosts many of the coasteering activities and the Red Bull diving competition. Haverford West, which is half an hour drive, has an out of town retail park and central town for shopping.
Further Details:
There are plenty of sea based activities such as coasteering, kayaking or surfing. Fishing trips and sea adventure jets for those seeking adrenaline kicks or sight seeing of local wildlife including dolphins, puffins and seals, well known in this area of Pembrokeshire, are also popular.
Other activities include horse riding on the beach, or for those wanting to go faster there is Karting in Haverford West.
The Pembrokeshire coastal path is famous for lovely walks with stunning scenery, and there is much to explore by bicycle (cycle hire from St Davids).
St Davids itself is a very small cathedral city with a number of shops, banks and a pharmacy including Crew, Fatface, TYF organic clothing, Moshulu and some other unusual gift and clothing stores and trendy surf shops. It has galleries and a glass studio displaying local artists work and it's own little quaint chocolate shop. For groceries there is a deli, vegetable shop, small supermarket and independent butchers. There are plenty of places to choose to eat ranging from the 'Cwtch' restaurant to pubs and cafes serving fresh smoothies, coffees and cream teas, lunches and evening meals.
There is a lovely fish restaurant at Porthgain harbour, and a number of places not too far for fine dining and special occasions.

May 1 is National College Decision Day, and it's swiftly approaching. Here are five tips to help you make your final selection a bit easier.
In the beginning of your college application process, you were attracted to certain schools for particular reasons. Review your list of schools to see if these reasons still hold true and if they're as important now as they were when you initially applied. Has anything changed? Which institutions still meet your criteria?
If at all possible, visit the schools you're considering; even if you've already visited the campus, visit again. (If an in-person visit isn't feasible, take a virtual tour online.) Eat in the dining hall, sit in on a few classes, attend an event on campus, and spend a night in a dormitory or residence hall, preferably rooming with a current student. Many institutions offer specific programs and events for admitted students to take advantage of. Not only are these additional ways to learn more about the college, it's also a chance for you to see if you can envision yourself as a member of the next incoming class.
Take into consideration finances, academics, and social/environmental factors …read more …read more

I'm not a republican. I'm not a democrat. I'm an American. I became a naturalized citizen a few years ago. I'm a proud American who believes in this nation, its people and the opportunity that it offers.
However, I'm still surprised at some of the "unexplainable" aspects of the American election process. Here are three things I don't agree with.
- You have to be born in the United States to become the President of the US. I'm not the only one who opposes this mandate. The Governor of California, for obvious reasons, wholeheartedly agrees. In today's day and age, the birth place of a person is almost irrelevant. People travel more frequently, live in different countries throughout their lives and it's feasible that their children will be born outside of their "native" country. A good example is my specific case – I was born in Iran. I'm of Indian decent and just happened to be born in Iran because my parents were there for a couple years in the 70s. I've never been there ever since. This mandate may have made sense 100+ years ago, but it doesn't make sense in this day and age.
- Negative Campaigning. What's up with that? I approve this message.
- Lack of Internet Voting. You can file your taxes online, why can't you register and vote online? This should be an option. It would solve many of the problems that exist today.

Oregon's Senator Jeff Merkley issued the following statement on the nomination of John Brennan as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.
"I will certainly be looking to hear how John Brennan responds to concerns that have been raised about his nomination. I have followed reports that Brennan, as a former senior official in the Bush-era CIA, knew about and may have supported controversial programs, including the use of torture, extraordinary rendition, secret prisons, and warrantless wiretapping. If true, connections to these programs would be cause for concern. I want to hear clear answers from him about how he may have been involved in these activities, as well as his vision for the Agency."

Why travelling solo is awesome
The clarity on what is essential for the individual when you take the risk of travelling alone is unbelievable.
Ava Irani, a friend I made while travelling solo in Thailand
If you are an avid traveller but have never travelled alone, you don't know what you have been missing. Here's why travelling alone is awesome.
You can travel selfishly: Cycle 100km in a day if you so desire. Don't leave your hostel bunk for the next two days because you have a sore ass with all that cycling. Don't worry, no one is calling you silly. Indulge in a relaxing siesta on the soft green grass of a random park. Live on sandwiches for ten days. Head out for Rome and decide midway to go to Vienna. You'll get to Rome sooner or later because all roads lead there anyway! Do anything. Go anywhere. Or nowhere. You don't have to worry what your travel companion(s) may or may not approve of when you are alone. You don't have to compromise and you can travel selfishly and this is amazingly liberating.
No one to blame: Had a mind-blowing experience? Thank yourself for it! Or, was the experience exceedingly yucky? Well, you know who's to blame for it. You'll probably laugh over it rather than brood and decide it was a learning experience!
Easier to travel on a budget: It's so much easier to stick to your budget when you are travelling solo. Solo hitchhikers are more likely to be picked up than a group. It's also easier to get a Couchsurfing host while travelling alone for the simple reason that one couch is easier to find than two! Likewise, when searching for a bunk to sleep on in hostels during peak season, the chances of a single bed being available is more.
Easy to make friends: When I say travelling alone, I don't mean that you have to be alone for the entire length of your trip. Other travellers will find it easier to approach you when you are travelling solo or sitting alone at a pub. And you'll find it easier to mingle with a group. At some point in your trip, you are very likely to meet another cool traveller and the two of you may decide to travel for some days together. Just go with the flow and you will find the world friendlier than you had imagined.
You learn to be more responsible: There's no one watching your back when you are travelling solo. You've got to be on guard at all times and trust your instincts about how to deal with various situations. While making the most of your trip, you also have to take care of your health because no one wants to fall sick in a foreign country when you don't have a friend around to help you. All this teaches you responsibility.
Travelling solo is all about celebrating yourself.

The most special part of the entire event is the reason it exists: a chance to raise awareness and donations for Justin's Vision.
The Story
21-year-old Michael Hermansen stood on stage last year, bravely sharing his heart-wrenching story of how this non-profit came to be. The year was 2006. Michael's 12-year-old brother, Justin, had been diagnosed with brain cancer and wasn't given much time to live. Having had the chance to meet the family (and because they're such extreme humanitarians), Jack and Annette Aronson and Dave Zilko of Garden Fresh sent the Hermansens to Give Kids the World in Orlando, Florida, a 70-acre resort where children with life-threatening illnesses, along with their families, can enjoy a carefree vacation experience. It was a magical time for all of them and one Michael will cherish forever.
Shortly upon returning, young Justin passed away.
To this day, that trip is something Michael holds near and dear to his heart. Justin's Vision took root in 2011 when Michael decided to dedicate his life's work to sending children with life-threatening illnesses and their families to Give Kids the World.
For more information, visit us at justinsvision.org.
Justin's Vision is a non-profit organization dedicated to letting kids be kids. We exist to help Michigan children with life-threatening illnesses enjoy a happy, carefree vacation experience, along with their families, that they'll cherish for all time. Through our partnership with Give Kids the World, Justin's Vision provides magical moments in a fun, safe environment with other kids and families that are facing similar challenges.

· Last week's action by Natfhe and the AUT opened the floodgates of argument on our Mortarboard blog, with contributions from lecturers (hacked off with their pay), students (not impressed for the most part) and support staff (who ranged from the sympathetic to the cynical). Among the 325 messages was one from a university administrator, who asked: "How many striking lecturers are really sitting at home doing nothing today?" This brought the swift riposte: "The answer surely is, in the vast majority of cases, that lecturers will be ... writing papers, reading papers, refereeing papers, preparing classes, deleting emails from HE managers whose idea of a job is forwarding the same announcements to us two or three times over, and so on."
· The mention of sabbaticals as a perk provoked furious complaints from academics who 1) hadn't had one or 2) had worked very hard during them. The reader who thought academics swanned around to conferences in pleasant locations drew especial venom.
· The plight of students was flagged up by one mature student: "I'm a bit peeved that I'm paying for a course and missing out on teaching time. But I also agree that many of our academics are undervalued."
· We also provided a service to the unions. An AUT poster used the blog to warn an errant member not to mark exams and merely withhold the marks. If he marked them at all, students had the legal right to see their results.
· Ah, Oxford, city of dreaming retail suppliers. The university's annual review reveals plans to cash in on its brand with items from chemistry sets to customised mugs. But the big money is being chased in the US and Japan: collegiate sportswear for the Americans and, for Japan, "traditional English foods featuring Oxford recipes and a new premium line of high quality, quintessentially English, tailored clothing sold against a background of the colleges of Oxford". One can only assume Japanese salarymen have never seen an Oxford don in all his or her sartorial splendour.

The great army of the old ones (a Lovecraft garage sale)
This a warning to all that might be considering a garage sale! It is actually a Sumerian ritual designed to call down the great Cthulhu. If you value your sanity, put the signs down now!
Over the course of four days, my home was ground zero for what felt like a rip in space Cthulhu would use to enter our dimension. Oh, it sounded so innocent at first. Such a simple idea. What could possibly be so hard about it? What am I babbling about, you ask? A garage sale. I just shudder tapping my keyboard to spell the words.
Two days prior to the event, my family unit began disassembling our life's work of pack rat deposits tucked away in every nook and cranny. No corner was left unturned until every last piece of forgotten treasures were dragged kicking and screaming to the cursed pile of ancient artifacts. It reminded me of Richard Dreyfuss building Devil's Peak in his living room from Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Only, mine was much bigger. It's scope encompassed my entire home.
For two days, we lived amongst the ruins, foraging for food, tying rope to one another so that we may pull each other back from the unknown in case we had been gone to long or there was a severe tug. We learned quickly, there were monsters out there. Then, the slowest, most insidious torture began. Pricing. Piece by piece, trying to determine what your life is worth. Tiny little white stickers assigning the lowest possible value to your treasures and trash alike. Bickering over a price difference of ten cents, our insanity quickly slipped away from sleep deprivation and lack of food because we had lost the kitchen.
We had reverted to primal instinct by this point. Feeding off the bad vibes, our household pets had become beasts in a wilderness of sharp corners and tacky nik-naks. Dog barks turned to dire wolf howls, ferret laughter became twisted taunts of wild possessed hyenas, and cat meows were akin to bristle haired demons moaning around every corner. Native savages that were once our children had now started to view us as a dinner option.
At last, the great day had come when the levy would break and the doors would burst open into the world outside. The fresh air pouring in from the portals was ushered forth by beams of golden sunlight. Blinded by the vision, we stumbled from our thorny shelters and squinted at the new world. "It's going to be O.K." I said. And then the great rumbling came. Our old world was following us. The mass of mutated objects with white sticker demon eyes burst forth from the house. Like an unstoppable lave flow, it poured into the garage and yard scorching the earth as it settled in place. The air became hot and thick as the nik-naks shook off their dry and dusty skin to reveal new faces. The facade had become apparent to us now. They had been torturing us for locking them away. The inmates had been running the asylum for the last two days. This was their chance to escape the prison of the nook, cranny asylum.
With their new, bright and shiny faces, they were now ready to glamor unsuspecting buyers. Just as the basket of old teddy bears revealed their tentacles and forced us to put up the garage sale signs, the sky cracked open. Dark clouds hovered over our house alone and wept briefly as if they too were saddened knowing what tiny shred of sanity we were clinging to was about to give way. As quickly as they arrived, they scattered in an instant. From their prospective, they must have seen what was coming next.
7:30 AM, after just finishing lunch, the armies of the elderly marched upon my home. With hardened battle worn canes, bizantine woven pink and blue sweater vests and lightning fast three inch shuffling steps, they swarmed around us like locusts filling the hot sweltering air with the scent of bengay cream and cheap gift perfume. The ancient army, with tissue like skin and perfect white hair confusing the eye to conceal the haggling hordes within, began to cackle and shake their chosen purchases at us. I now know that it is not the object that the old ones want. It is just a tool that is necessary for the insanity ritual to be performed. If the object is more than a dollar, they want it for half. If it is a nickle, they will offer you two and a half cents and snap a penny in half with their teeth, which by the way is usually still attached to the half penny when they hand it to you.
The worst of the lot would ride in on dream stealing death dealers. These great vultures circled our home and would strafe through the sale with killing precision. They are the keepers of lies and deception and only want to take your life, mark it up and resell it to another victim. When they are near, your head becomes filled with whispered lies. You can see them in your peripheral vision winking and smiling at one another, but the moment you make eye contact, the theatrical production continues. "My two sons, ages five and seven whom are both home with the flu and cancer and recently injured in a car accident involving the Hubble telescope, would love everything on this side of the garage. I have a pinched sciatic nerve and can only stand here for fifteen seconds before I have to leave. How much for all of this and I need a total now!" Oh, the horror. The insanity.
After the second day, a handful of unwanted nik-naks and my family lay strewn about the yard. A sporadic old one would appear every so often to check our bones for any last marrow that might be left to nibble upon. Our parched and broken bodies lay quiet on the front lawn as night approaches and the crack in the sky closes. I muster up enough energy to drag what is left of my loved ones back into our empty home. I close the door behind me with my back and slowly slide down its surface until I land in the fetal position on the floor. I cannot tell if I am crying or laughing. I might be doing both at the same time. Every once and a while, I see a small twitch from the pile of family members stacked in the center of the room. Maybe they are still alive. My brave little loved ones were no match for the horrors that have transpired over the last four days. Thank goodness this is over.
Suddenly, I hear a tapping on my door. I slowly look around, wiping the tears from my eyes. My crippled hands reach for the doorknob. I use it to help myself stand. I turn the knob. The door creaks on its metal hinges and then falls from its frame. My eyes slowly adapt to the darkness outside. I poke my head out to scan the yard. Something bone white wearing a pink sweater vest jumps out at me from behind the bushes. "Is the garage sale still open?"

Aundrea did not make the mistake of returning to the office. When necessary, she left files and paperwork by the door with typed reports or instructions attached. She granted him that luxury.
Three months had passed since the "incident" and still, they had not spoken to or seen each other. As it should be, David thought. The office gradually returned to normal. Cases were prepared on time if not earlier. Business in the Factory ( the name by which "trading" was referred to) had even picked up. Today was a rare occasion; David was to personally handle an exchange. Due to his position in the hierarchy, he rarely appeared in person to execute the deals. Obviously the were dangerous. David enjoyed the occasional thrill of attending.
He was to leave early for a routine doctor's appointment; or so he told his staff. Tossing his new cases into a disorganized heap he dug his keys out of his pocket. He picked a silver one while running his thumb across the bottom of his desk. Glancing about the room, he quickly slipped it into an indistinguishable notch on the underside of the desk. It clicked mechanically exposing a digital keypad. David entered the required 4-digit code and a large rectangle began to descend, exposing a drawer. Carefully, he slid his hand into it and retrieved his pistol and droping it secretly into his briefcase. He locked the seemingly ordinary desk and left the office.
When he reached the street, his chauffer was waiting. A man David recognized to be around his age was seated in the back. A bodyguard, he figured, and seated himself in the maroon Mercedes.

Australian navigator dies in Iraq Hercules crash
Reporter: Emma Alberici
KERRY O'BRIEN: It may be little consolation to his family, but at least Australian airman Paul Pardoel lived to see the milestone election in Iraq. Less than an hour after polls closed across the strife-torn country, the Australian navigator, flying aboard a British Air Force Hercules transport plane, crashed to his death with nine other crew. The 35-year-old flight lieutenant and father of three, a former RAAF navigator who joined the British Air Force three years ago, will now be recorded as the first Australian serviceman killed in Iraq. Overnight, Iraqi militants released video footage which purports to show the aircraft being shot down by missile. But while political leaders and family members paid tribute to Paul Pardoel, the RAF says it could take weeks to establish exactly what caused the crash. Emma Alberici reports.

More than 300 British staff at the US embassy in London have started the new year working without pay because the embassy is broke.
The embassies are unable to pay for normal entertaining or social functions and staff are unable even to reclaim out-of-pocket expenses.
Angry disputes between President Bill Clinton and the Republican-dominated Congress in the US over the federal budget left 650 staff, including 380 Britons, at the embassy in London with little hope of a merry Christmas. They have not been paid since the first week of last month.
They are not alone: some 280,000 other US government employees have been temporarily laid off in a 19-day federal shutdown as the US budget wrangle rages. But because UK employment law does not allow for temporary lay- offs, British staff at the embassy in Grosvenor Square and at American consulates in Scotland and Belfast are having to work as normal.
The staff say that uncertainty over their pay has led to stress and low morale. At the end of this week they expect to be paid for the week before 15 December but not the week after.
If Congress is unable to agree a budget by 18 January they will not receive their next fortnightly cheque.
A US embassy spokesman in London confirmed that no one was being paid and that this could go on for some time: "The next cheque could come through in the next few days or it could be several weeks."
It is the embassy's second financial hardship in the last 12 months. Last summer the Inland Revenue demanded pounds 30m in back taxes.
The US Senate voted unanimously last night to end the shutdown, but hopes that the Bill would pass into law remained dim because of the unwillingness of the more zealous Republicans in the House of Representatives to give it their blessing.

Author's notes:
A couple of weeks ago, in response to an appeal on the Spn-BigPretzel community over on Livejournal, I offered to write a 'short - approx. 1000 words – hurty-comfort fic in aid of the Hurricane Sandy Relief Appeal.' The very kind and lovely 'Elfgirljen' was the highest bidder, and subsequently made a generous donation to that Appeal
My brief is as follows: 'Dean and Cas are my two favorite characters. I thought a Christmas/curtain fic would be nice, a mixture of angst-schmoop with a happy ending.'
Sooooo … I had my plot in mind, and off I went merrily tip-tapping away, but I was about halfway through the first paragraph when I realised I had a snowball's chance in hell of keeping this to 1000 words. What can I say? I'm incorrigible!
In line with my brief, this will be primarily hurt/comfort, a little bit angsty, but hopefully a little bit humorous as well. I'll rate it T for a few naughty words. I'm going to say it's very, very loosely canonical up until the end of Season 7, but as of season 8, I've gone completely off the reservation – this, I guess, is season 8 as I would like it to happen. However, there may be some stray and very vague season 8 spoilers floating around, so be warned!.
If purgatory took its toll on Dean, his return to the real world has only compounded the problems. He finds help and comfort from a very unexpected source.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of them and that's not likely to change any time soon.
Chapter 1
(Sam's POV)
When that unctuous asshole Dick Roman exploded and I was suddenly left standing alone and bereft in that awful, soulless room, the voice of reason - you know, the one you should listen to but don't want to - told me that Dean and Castiel had both died in the blast. They'd been at blast ground zero, and so had been vaporised; simply zapped out of existence.
The louder voice, my hunter's voice, the voice that's been there, seen everything, done it all; the voice that tells reason to go screw itself, told me that they were alive and well; it's just that I didn't know where.
For a while, I was in shock. I barely knew who I was, never mind what I needed to do; my mind was whirling with thoughts of what could have happened to them, but eventually I found the focus to stop assing around and to get with the program – they might both need my help.
I needed to think, I needed to clear my head and to be away from distraction. It was because of this I eventually headed west and holed up at Rufus' cabin. There I began the laborious task of finding my brother and the angel. I would find them, I promised myself that; and for a time I even believed it.
The following weeks rolled into months; a whole load of frustrating, infuriating months of painstaking and ultimately fruitless research. I checked out every John Doe who turned up in every hospital in the land, hacked the police networks, canvassed the hunting community worldwide, and spoke to psychics, mediums and every two-bit fortune teller I could find. I searched out any ancient texts that might be able to shed some light; shockingly, reference material relating to exploding leviathans wasn't exactly easy to come by. I spent night after night glued to Google for hours; saw the dawn come up more times than I care to think - it was nice at first but trust me when you're wired sky high on caffeine and exhaustion has shrivelled your eyeballs into pickled walnuts, it's overrated. Even the Crossroads Demon was clueless; and Dean would have pitched a fit if he knew that I had even summoned the damn thing.
Ten months passed in little more than a blink, after which time I had achieved precisely nothing. I was not one slightest iota closer to discovering what had happened to Dean and Castiel and that goddamn irritating voice of reason, which had been growing louder by the day, finally sat me down and gave me a good talking to.
Crowley had taunted me about being 'well and truly alone'. As much as it pained me to admit it, as much as I wanted to push the thought to the back of my mind and spit at the very notion, I was starting to believe him.
I wasn't convinced that Dean was dead. If he had been there were dozens of ways in which we could contact each other, especially as I've no reason to believe that as a spirit he'd be any less loud and obnoxious than he was as a man. I couldn't believe that he would let me endure ten months of worry and despair without making some kind of contact, but every damned séance I conducted gave me nothing but soul-destroying silence.
Then again, I've no reason to believe he's alive. I know a good hunter can remain hidden from the outside world if he wants to, but again, I can't and won't believe that Dean is out there, alive and well but not getting in touch and allowing me to worry myself into neuroses about him.
Then of course there was Castiel. I know angels can kill other angels (and apparently often do), but aside from that, is there any other way they can die? As powerful as it may be, I wouldn't have thought that an exploding leviathan would have the juice to take one of them out. Jimmy Novak, Castiel's meatsuit, maybe - but not Cas himself.
And if they're not alive, and they're not dead, then where, or what, the hell are they?
This is where I run out of options; I've explored every avenue and for my trouble come up with a whole load of dead ends. The trail's gone cold, and I can't begin to know what to do to warm it up.
So, finally … here's where my train of thought derails.
With no clues and no idea of what to do next, I had to decide where to go from here. It was the hardest decision I'd ever had to make.
I knew that Dean would hate for me to be sitting here with my thumb up my ass, helpless and clueless and wasting my life chasing his memory, but how could I just give up on him?
Then again, there's no way I could carry on hunting without Dean. The hunting life reeks of him. Reminders of him are everywhere; his gruff voice stumbling over the latin incantations, his thumbprints on a flask of holy water, his surprisingly neat handwritten notes in the margins of a bible – complete with spelling mistakes and imaginatively random apostrophe use. It tears me to pieces every time I see it.
I won't dishonour Dean by moping and brooding my life away; I'll do what I'd almost managed to do before, and walk away from the life. It's just too painful to continue. I'll vanish, just as Dean has done; I'll ditch contact with the hunting fraternity and become Sam Winchester, the civilian. Hopefully I can do something worthwhile with my life – Dean would like that.
I briefly considered ditching the Impala too; right now the sight of her is like a knife right through my heart but no, that's one thing I couldn't do. She is as much a part of Dean as he is of her. I can sense him in every rivet; every bolt. It'd be just about the worst thing I could do to Dean.
In years to come I hope I'll once again be able to look on her with fondness, but at the moment I can't think that far ahead.
I can't see beyond tomorrow.
Loading everything he owned into the Impala's trunk, Sam hesitated briefly beside the car, inhaling deeply of the loamy fragrance of early Fall around him. He glanced upwards as a fresh breeze rustled through the forest, and took a last long look at the amber polka-dots of Maple and Linden standing out in stark relief against a sea of evergreen before ducking into her drivers' seat and pulling the door closed.
He scraped a shaky hand through his hair and pulled away without a backward glance.
It would be two months before the cabin was occupied again.

Complete the Darth Maul game Lucas Arts was in the process of making.
Red Fly (the original devs)were thrown under the bus by Lucas Arts because of the Disney Merger. The game had all the potential in the world and deserves to be made. An origins story for Darth Maul would appeal to a lot of fans. Darth Maul is an untapped fan favorite. The prototype video that was leaked showed a very unique game full of adventure that us Star Wars fans have been asking for for a long time. It also would be a more mature game which fans have asked for. Thank you.

The Very 1st 2015 Ford Mustang to be Auctioned for Children's Diabetes Research
While the 2015 Ford Mustang has hit the industry with mixed reviews, there is no question that there will be plenty of prospective buyers who would love nothing more than to own the first 2015 Mustang built for retail sale. Thanks to the good people at the Barrett Jackson Auto Auctions, all of those hopeful S550 owners have a somewhat equal chance of buying 2015 Mustang #1 but it will require them to make a trip to Scottsdale Arizona in January – and to write what we expect will be a very, very big check. The dollar value on that very (very) big check will go to the JDRF; the charity formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
"JDRF is very grateful for the generous and steadfast support from Ford and its employees over the years. It is an incredible honor to be a part of Mustang's 50th celebration and we are so thankful for the donation of the auction proceeds which will go directly to JDRF's type 1 diabetes research programs," says Jeffrey Brewer, president and CEO of JDRF. "Ford's charitable vehicle sales at Barrett-Jackson have raised more than $3 million for JDRF through the years, and these funds are helping us make tremendous progress towards therapies and treatments that will make life better for people with type 1 diabetes today as we work to find a cure for this terrible disease."
As has been the case so often with the recent popularity of these high profile vehicle auctions, the first 2015 Ford Mustang GT will be auctioned off in a public format rather than allowing a dealership to make a mint off of unit #1 as they jack up the sticker price. Since the 2015 Mustang will not have gone into production when the auction for the first retail unit begins, we can expect to see one of the Race Red 2015 Mustang fastbacks from one of the global debuts roll across the Barrett Jackson block but that won't be the actual car that is being bid on by the crowd. After the auction closes, the winner will contact Ford to design their ideal 2015 Mustang GT including either an automatic or manual transmission along with any interior, exterior, color or striping option available for the next generation Mustang in addition to all of the standard features of the new pony car.

Although the source would not be drawn on what was discovered, he said the evidence makes it more likely criminal charges will be brought against senior Labour figures. The police are said to have been 'greatly surprised' at what they have found, the source said.
The disclosure will alarm Tony Blair and Downing Street chief-of-staff Jonathan Powell, who are both expected to be quizzed by police over the scandal. Last Wednesday Labour's chief fundraiser, Lord Levy, was arrested and questioned by police and it has emerged that two government ministers, Lord Sainsbury and Ian McCartney, have also been interviewed by police. All deny any wrongdoing.
The growing cash-for-peerages affair has led some ministers to warn that Blair will be forced out if Levy is charged in connection with the inquiry. 'If Levy is charged, it's curtains,' said one well-placed minister. 'That's the call of everyone in the Parliamentary Labour party I've spoken to: if he's charged, that's it.'
Although Blairites are insisting it could be possible for the Prime Minister to stay on in such circumstances if he could distance himself from his chief fundraiser, party sources said attempting to do so would force a leadership challenge. 'They simply wouldn't let him: the party would move against him,' said one senior party aide.
John Yates, the senior Scotland Yard detective in charge of the investigation, held detailed private discussions last week with MPs on the Commons constitutional affairs select committee about the likelihood of charges being laid as a result of the inquiry. One source close to the committee said: 'My hunch is 60 per cent that the whole thing never ends up being prosecuted.'
The police have also been told that senior Labour figures always knew that many of the loans they received from millionaire backers would be converted to donations in the future. If this is the case it could open up the possibility of other party figures facing charges under the Political Parties Elections and Referendums Act 2000 which stipulates donations over £5,000 must be declared.
The Observer has established that Blair attended a meeting with Levy before the last general election when the plans to raise large amounts of funding through secret loans were first drawn up. Last week it was alleged that Levy advised Indian meals tycoon Sir Gulam Noon not to include details of his loan when he was nominated for a House of Lords seat. Levy denies this.
Pressure is also mounting on the Conservative party over funding. David Cameron is refusing to give police the names of secret lenders who gave almost £5m to the party before the last election. A senior Tory said the lenders signed commercial confidentiality contracts and did not want their identities revealed.

Yankiverse Confidential: Shhhh, itŌĆÖs the time of year when Brian Cashman is silently, covertly, creating his mayhem
