What you're looking at is one of the few remaining pages drawn by Ross Andru and Mike Esposito for the Zen, The Intergalactic Ninja series. The book wasn't their best effort, but it did mark the last time that the celebrated duo would see print in a comic book, sadly Ross Andru passed away soon after the book was published, thus while Zen might not have been the most loved, or known, strip of all the Andru & Esposito work, it holds a special place as being their last collaborative effort. That counts for something. The pair did two issues of the book, plus a pin-up that doubled as a cover. Nothing to sneeze at.
So why is there so little art out there? Generally the answer is because the art is hoarded by collectors or dealers. People generally don't want to part with things because it either holds a special place in their hearts, or they're speculating and are just holding on hoping that their purchases will increase in value and make them richer than they already are. I know several people who fall into the latter category, they not only refuse to part with their art, but they'll go as far as to tell you what they have and then refuse to show a scan. I ran into this problem several times with both the Jim Mooney book and the Andru & Esposito volume. I know people who have some great original art, but they won't share it for their own reasons. Perhaps they acquired the art via dubious means and are waiting for the artists to pass away, perhaps they're just mean, who knows and frankly I no longer care. To be fair there are some very major collectors and dealers who are more than happy to share high quality scans whenever they're asked to - good guys one and all.
However with Zen it soon became apparent that it wasn't a case of people not wanting to share their collections, it was more that very few people had anything to share. Each and every time I'd ask people I'd be met with a silence or a statement saying, "I don't have any and have never had any." The sum total of searching for Zen art resulted in the above scan.
Then I got an email in early 2005 from an art dealer who I've always promised will remain anonymous for obvious reasons. I was shocked to read what he had to say about the Zen original art. "About 10 years ago I bought around 150 Andru-Esposito Zen pages, full splashes included, for $3 each. I tried like heck to sell those pages at $5 each with no takers. Then I tried $3 apiece and still no one bought them.
"I started taking the pages to the shooting range for target practice. I figured I was going to get something out of the pages one way or another. They saved me from having to buy targets at 45¢ each. Well, about 30 of 'em bit the dust. All lessor panelled pages. Then I had a guy call me up and take all the remaining pages for $3 each."
30 pages are now gone for good. They can't be recreated, Ross Andru isn't here anymore to do the job and I doubt that Mike Esposito could be bothered. They might be lessor paneled pages, but the fact remains that 30 pages of original art, by a legendary art team, have been destroyed for good. People cry about DC shredding original art back in the '50s and '60s, but trust me, history has taught some people absolutely nothing.

The NATO-led International Security Assistance Force ended its 13-year combat mission in Afghanistan on Sunday.
From Jan. 1, 2015, the mission will evolve into training and advising the nascent Afghan security forces. The 13,000 foreign troops for the Resolute Support Mission will come from 28 NATO allies and 14 other partner nations.
During the past decade, Afghanistan once hosted as many as 140,000 troops from around 51 countries; some 3,500 of them lost their lives fighting the enduring insurgency. Over 2,000 were Americans. The war has cost the U.S. around $1 trillion so far, according to the Financial Times.
In a statement released on Sunday regarding the commencement of the new NATO mission in Afghanistan, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg reaffirmed continued support by the alliance to Afghanistan.
"At the end of this year, we complete our combat mission in Afghanistan and open a new chapter in our relationship with Afghanistan," he said. Stoltenberg added that the security of Afghanistan will be fully in the hands of the 350,000 Afghan soldiers and police forces.
The NATO chief praised the capabilities of the Afghan forces and the determination by the international community to stand by Afghanistan. He also reaffirmed the alliance's continued financial support to Afghan security forces.
"We will also contribute to the financing of the Afghan security forces, and build an enduring partnership with Afghanistan which reflects our joint interests, shapes our joint cooperation and contributes to our shared security," the statement by Stoltenberg said.
In Washington, President Barack Obama hailed the "milestone" end to the combat mission, and pledged continued American assistance for Afghan forces.
"We honor the profound sacrifices that have made this progress possible," he said. "Afghanistan remains a dangerous place, and the Afghan people and their security forces continue to make tremendous sacrifices in defense of their country.
The American President said that US forces in the country "will continue to face risks, but this reflects the enduring commitment of the United States to the Afghan people and to a united, secure and sovereign Afghanistan that is never again used as a source of attacks against our nation.", SIA reports with reference to AA.
The NATO-led International Security Assistance Force started operations in Afghanistan in August 2003, nearly two years after the US-led invasion which toppled the Taliban regime in Afghanistan.
Though Kabul, Brussels and Washington enjoy much better ties after the signing of Bilateral Security Agreement and the Status of Force Agreement, the matter of NATO and U.S. leftover military equipment is yet to be resolved.
The Afghan government, led by President Ashraf Ghani, has not raised the matter publicly, but there are worries over the possible shipment of heavy military machinery to Ukraine instead of leaving it for the Afghan forces. President Ghani is scheduled to visit Washington next month to discuss this and various other matters.

By Michael McCarthy, USA TODAY
Tiger Woods might not be the only big golf star without a General Motors sponsorship come 2009. The cash-strapped GM's Cadillac division might split with endorser Fred Couples after a 16-year relationship.
Couples' current deal with GM's luxury nameplate expires Dec. 31. GM, which is seeking a financial bailout from the federal government, might drive away from Couples the same day that Woods ends his nine-year relationship with Buick.
"Right now we're at the stage where we're evaluating all our sponsorships and agreements," says Cadillac spokeswoman Joanne Krell, who declined to comment on financial terms of the deal. "He's been with us for 16 years. He's a great guy. Cadillac has enjoyed our relationship."
SPONSORSHIPS DWINDLING? Breakups could be sign of things to come
The faltering economy has made "the whole world evaluate their relationships," says Lynn Roach, Couples' agent at Players Group Inc. "They've been great partners for Fred since 1992. He's enjoyed the relationship. They've also been a great partner of the PGA Tour."
The 49-year old Couples signed with Cadillac after winning the 1992 Masters Tournament. Since then, the sight of him wearing the Cadillac crest on his golf shirts has become familiar to millions of TV viewers. Couples, who roomed with CBS sportscaster Jim Nantz in college, ranks 20th in career earnings on the PGA Tour. His best finish this season is a tie for fourth at the Shell Houston Open.
On Monday, Woods and GM division Buick sent tremors through the sports business world by announcing they were mutually ending their endorsement deal a year early, effective Dec. 31. Ford, another struggling Big 3 automaker in Detroit, split with Phil Mickelson in 2006.
While this week's news is revolving around PGA Tour stars, SportsBusiness Journal editor-at-large Terry Lefton predicts that NASCAR will lose more sponsorship bucks than any other major sport. "NASCAR is the most dependent on sponsorships. The bigger question is how far the auto brands can pull out of motorsports," he says.

QUENTIN DEMPSTER, PRESENTER: The revolt in western Sydney. Premier Nathan Rees says he wants to retain the state's triple A credit rating at all costs. There's been a substantial drop in state revenues from a downturn in property sales and there's the meltdown in the financial services sector.
So the pressure is on, as Treasurer Eric Roozendaal and Finance Minister Joe Tripodi prepare next month's mini-Budget. Big western Sydney public transport infrastructure projects could be delayed indefinitely or downscaled to demonstrate the state can service its current levels of borrowings before even considering any new debt.
At the moment, the credibility of the credit ratings agencies themselves, particularly Standard and Poor's, is under question as their role in the US sub-prime housing collapse is under examination.
How much notice should the State Government take of these agencies when all policy and instruments of government, federal and state, should be focused on avoiding a recession?
Stateline assembled some western Sydney stakeholders this week to see if they were prepared to withdraw their transport infrastructure demands in the interests of the triple A.
TONY HAY, WSROC: Not at all. That triple A credit rating is as worthless as the paper that some of it's been written on. I mean, Standard and Poor's gave a triple A rating to the sub-prime market. I mean, I just ignore that rating. What we need to do is have a government that's got vision, commitment, leadership and the capacity to be able to deliver for the needs of its residents.
QUENTIN DEMPSTER: The answer from Councillor Tony Hay, Chairman of WSROC, the Western Sydney Regional Organisation of Councils, was perhaps predictable. He's concerned the fiscal crunch is going to hit hardest the 1.8 million people of western Sydney. Suffering inadequate public transport services for decades, their expectations had been raised. But now with the credit ratings agencies warning the State Government could lose its triple A rating if it took on more debt, big rail projects like the south west rail extension and the north west metro are in doubt.
ALEX GOODING, WSROC: The original plan was for the south west rail link to run from Glenfield via Emmetson Park to the Leppington town centre with the possible extension further west to service the south west growth centre. In the north west, the original plan was for the north west rail link to run from Epping via Castle Hill and nor-west business park to Rouse Hill, with the potential for an extension to Wynyard on the Richmond Line. Earlier this year, the Government announced the north west metro proposal, which was for a stand alone metro line running on the same alignment through this section from Rouse Hill to Epping, and then a new, completely new, line from Epping via Drummoyne, Rozelle to the CBD.
QUENTIN DEMPSTER: All the way into the CBD, that was the contentious leg of it.
ALEX GOODING: Yes. Yes.
QUENTIN DEMPSTER: The Rees Cabinet this week went to Penrith to schmooze with western Sydney for what it called a community cabinet meeting. About two hundred locals turned up at the Joan Sutherland Centre to meet and ear bash Mr Rees and his new cabinet. It was a bit like a parent-teachers' night, with ministers sitting at desks under large signs delineating their areas of influence, and the locals able to make an appointment to talk about whatever they wanted to.
Later, everybody trouped into the auditorium for a mass cabinet question time, preceded by a sort of role call.
BARBARA PERRY, MINISTER FOR LOCAL GOVT.: Barbara Perry, Minister for Local Government and Minister Assisting the Minister for Health on Mental Health.
KEVIN GREEN, MINISTER FOR GAMING, RACING & SPORT: Kevin Green, Minister for Gaming, Racing and Sport.
JOE TRIPODI, MINISTER FOR FINANCE: Joe Tripodi, Minister for Finance.
VERITY FIRTH, MINISTER FOR EDUCATION & TRAINING: Verity Firth, Minister for Education and Training.
ERIC ROOZENDAAL, TREASURER: Eric Roozendaal, Treasurer.
QUENTIN DEMPSTER: And on and on it went with the role call followed by questions from the floor.
PETER KERR, AUDIENCE MEMBER: My name is Peter Kerr. I live at Mt Druitt. I'm a member of the Labor Party of Mt Druitt. I'd like to see two extra tracks go from St Mary's to Penrith.
QUENTIN DEMPSTER: The Premier looked pleased with the whole outing. He said it would be the first of many.
At a national level, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and Treasurer Wayne Swan have announced they'll bring forward Infrastructure Australia decision making to try to sustain economic growth through the current global financial crisis. All the states have swamped Infrastructure Australia with their wish lists. New South Wales has submitted a priority list of projects, but significantly, it did not include the $12 billion north west metro, until recently a showpiece of the State Labor Government's new-found commitment to public transport.
This week, the Sydney Morning Herald reported Labor sources close to Wayne Swan declaring there were no votes in it for Labor. Premier Nathan Rees did some tap dancing to try to explain.
NATHAN REES, PREMIER: The advice to me is that the north west project doesn't meet many of the criteria already established by the Federal Government's Infrastructure Australia partnerships program. So, on that basis and on the basis that it was a standalone commitment by the NSW Government previously, it hasn't been continued in the dialogue with the feds or the documentation.
Oh, look, there's no secret around this. It's intended to service an area, some way down the track, in which there's currently not a population to justify it. Now, I'm not saying I necessarily agree with that, but that's been the policy position underpinning this. And the Federal Government had a view that the infrastructure projects to be funded should be delivering service into areas where there's a critical mass of people already. Now, I have to say that I've seen the congestion on the roads into the city from the north west. I've seen the demand for those buses. And that is well and truly on my radar.
QUENTIN DEMPSTER: This debate has further angered Tony Hay, himself a member of the Labor Party, recently re-elected as a councillor on Baulkham Hills Council. WSROC has made a supplementary submission to Infrastructure Australia, putting the case for north west metro, regardless of the Labor State Government leaving it off its priority list.
TONY HAY: Because we believe that NSW has not targeted the north west metro is of a priority nature for Infrastructure Australia funding. The reasoning for that could be that it did not meet the matrix for the cost benefit ratio based on current situation. I don't believe that they've had a look at the projection of the growth for this area. Baulkham Hills local government area had 33 per cent growth in the last 10 years. We've had - Blacktown has had 17 per cent growth. Camden has had 52 per cent growth. I mean, those local government regions have had significant growth and there's more growth and demand for housing and dwellings and employment opportunities close to home and you really need a structure such as the north west metro and I don't want to give up on the north west metro altogether.
QUENTIN DEMPSTER: Unemployment in NSW, now running at 4.9 per cent, is expected to increase in coming months as the financial services sector in Sydney is hit hard. The state already has a sluggish to stalled housing construction sector. Lower interest rates might help, but according to Judy McKittrick, President of the Urban Development Institute of Australia, state Treasurer Roozendaal urgently needs to turn his mini-Budget into an economic stimulus package particularly for western Sydney.
JUDY MCKITTRICK, URBAN DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE: We've already seen in Sydney the cost structure for delivering housing as just totally out of kilter to the rest of the other capital cities. We can spend - the cost that homebuyers are paying can be upwards to $100,000 towards infrastructure and government taxes and charges in Sydney, compared to less than $10,000 in Melbourne. So, we're just not cost competitive. We want them to maintain their commitment to these projects which were announced in 2005. If that means going to the Federal Government to seek funding, so be it.
TONY HAY: We've already had 13 per cent growth in the years 1996 to 2006 in western Sydney and that's over 207,000 people. That's almost taken the population to beyond 1.8 million in western Sydney, and that is one in 11 Australians. The Federal Government recognises that. They have got an infrastructure and plan, but we find that this questioning of the ability by the State Government to meet its commitments and the whole basis of planning that we have heard from them for a number of years now is really - it's shaking the foundations of investment; it's shaking the foundations of business confidence. We need a clear signal from the State Government and we need leadership. And I hope that we're gonna see that in the next few weeks.
QUENTIN DEMPSTER: Public affairs shouldn't be all whinge and no responsibility, so we asked the aggrieved stakeholders of western Sydney what should go in the interests of tight fiscal management.
TONY HAY: I think without the north west metro, or without a north west rail commitment from the Government, I think we'd have to cut the growth and the projected plans for future growth of the area. I don't think we could have the north west growth area occurring at all. I think it's that important: it is the backbone in the whole body of planning for this area. And without it, at least to Epping, we couldn't, we could not condone taking that amount of growth for the area.
JUDY MCKITTRICK: I would endorse that, I would say we certainly cannot cut the rail line, whether it' the metro or whether it's the heavy rail line, we revert back to plan A. But, Sydney has to grow; we have this incoming population; we need to accommodate them and we need transport for them.
ALEX GOODING: If we had to cut anything, I would reluctantly cut some of the road proposals that have been put forward. Whilst they're important, I think it's absolutely critical that we prioritise public transport infrastructure and preserve either the north west metro or the north west heavy rail option, along with the south west rail link.

Radiator Barn does NOT exist! What do I do???
I followed the radiator replacement on 4x4xpolr as I'm sure may others did. I even got the lifetime warranty radiator recommended from Radiator Barn as I'm sure others did as well.
Well this week it sprung a leak at the top on the passenger side.
GUESS WHAT???!!! Radiator Barn was purchased this week by Keystone (never heard of them) who are transferring me from one place to another. I can tell I'm going to get !@#%^. Their corporate # is 615-781-5200
What should I do?
Call the corporate number?
Take it out and to a shop so they can solder it?
Call your credit card company you purchased it with and see if they can help?
I was certain I would be !@#$#$%^ on this one. It would have been VERY easy for the new company to give me the run around until I give up but Keystone/LKQ came through and sent me an exact replacement! I was honestly shocked.
Keystone/LKQ corporate office: 615-781-5200, I spoke to Karrie "Clock" (Clock is not her last name but it sounds like clock). A couple days later I got a call from the Keystone location in Minneapolis. They were going to send me a metal/plastic radiator like the OEM but I said "now way, I paid for all metal and I'm getting an all metal replacement". He sent it with no resistance.
FYI. Radiatorbarn.com was owned by Lake Shore Radiator. You will need to note that you bought your radiator from Lake Shore to make a claim. Get a picture of both the leak and the serial number that is on a white sticker at the bottom of the radiator.
I'm happy to report to you all a very rare win for the "little guy".
Oh, I used JB Weld on the old radiator as a temporary hold. It seems to be holding well. Ill swap in the new one when that lest go or another hole develops.
When companies buy out other companies, they have to honor the previous company's warranty and products.
Yeah, I know. When a company buys another they are also buying their liabilities.
I got the run-around from several people, being transferred from phone to phone with people telling me "not my problem" or "we don't honor other peoples warranties". I was getting really pissed off trying to tell these so-called managers that "when a company buys another they also buy their liabilities" theses idiots couldn't handle that concept. Even people in their corporate office were passing me around until I found the one honest woman who took care of me.
I was certain I would get screwed. The lifetime warranty was the entire reason I bought that radiator as my replacement.
Had the original brass radiator in my 89 Toyota truck develop a hole in the top. Used JB weld to patch the hole pressed the ball of epoxy into the hole and let set overnight never had a failure. I put 300,000 on the truck before trading it. The JB weld plug was still intact.
Keystone sucks.
Just buy a new radiator and be done with it.
Whats with the language?
Yes watch the language as this is a family friendly forum.
That's good to know. I bought a replacement radiator from them well over a year ago and haven't had a problem yet but....
I'm glad to hear this all worked out for you. I'm going to be dealing with the exact same issue right now. I called keystone and asked about the replacement. Keystone tells me I will need to fax them the original sales receipt. Which I probably don't have. Did you need to send in any receipts" i hope I get a win too.
I bought a radiator with the lifetime warranty from RadiatorBarn March of 2013 and guess what? Yep, it's leaking. Thanks for the info above. I have a call into Keystone and I have my receipt so hopefully it's fairly easy.

Oracle JET allows to build mobile hybrid apps, based on Cordova and deploy to Android or iOS platform. Read more about it here - Go Mobile with Oracle JET As Easy As 1 2 3 . In my previous post I have described how to call REST endpoint running on Oracle MCS from JET - Calling Mobile Cloud REST Service from Oracle JET . Its time to demonstrate the same from JET hybrid app, running on my Android phone.
Here is the screen capture of JET hybrid app running on Android device and displaying data fetched from MCS REST endpoint:
To test data re-fetch, I have updated one record directly through MCS endpoint tester UI, using REST PATCH:
In mobile app, I navigated outside Customers screen and back - data is re-fetched, chart is changed:
What is great about JET hybrid, you could use identical code for JET rendered on the Web and JET rendered on mobile device. You could copy paste the same code between Web and mobile hybrid implementations. Here is example from sample app, where chart and list are displayed:
JET model points to MCS endpoint and defines data collection, same as it would be done for JET rendered on the Web:
Data is fetched in special method - handleActivated . This method is invoked automatically when View Model becomes active (user opens it from the menu). This is quite handy, to have such entry points in the app:
Download sample app code - js_jethybrid_v1.zip , where I have packaged Java Script and HTML examples. You should copy it into application with JET libraries to run.
To build JET hybrid app use:
grunt build:dev --platform=android
To deploy to Android device use:
grunt serve --platform=android --destination=deviceRead more about how to create JET hybrid app here - Go Mobile with Oracle JET As Easy As 1 2 3

American launched a new Wi-Fi finder widget today, which allows passengers to see if they will have in-flight wireless Internet on their flight. Customers can search by flight number or departure airport.
Best of all, the widget works really well! It's speedy and easy to navigate. That can't really be understated—imagine how annoying it would be to go through a tedious process just to dig up one little piece of information.
The lone drawback (and this is a very minor point, in my opinion) is that you can only view flights departing with 24 hours.
This is something I'd like to see from other carriers, though ultimately I'd prefer a Wi-Fi indicator customers can use during the booking process. That won't be an issue once airlines complete their fleetwide installations, but in the meantime it would be nice to avoid the crapshoot aspect of in-flight wireless. American only has 165 planes outfitted with Wi-Fi, so there's still a ways to go.

Sister vs. sister! Serena and Venus Williams faced each other for the 25th time at the Rogers Cup semi-finals on Aug. 9. Despite a hard fought battle from both, Venus came out as the sister on top.
Venus Williams, 34, and Serena Williams, 32, take sibling rivalry to a whole new level. The sisters met up for the Rogers Cup semi-finals on Aug. 9 in Montreal. Venus walked away with the win and clinched her first victory against her sister in over five years. Congrats, Venus!
Serena Williams Loses To Sister Venus Williams
Venus is heading to the women's singles Rogers Cup final! Venus beat her #1 ranked sister Serena 6-7 (2), 6-2 and 6-3 on Aug. 9. This is the first time Venus has beat Serena in over five years to go on to the final round.
Serena was the defending champion of the Rogers Cup, but Venus wasn't going to let that trouble her. Venus was confident and took a 3-1 lead up until Serena tied the game 3-3, USA Today reports.
Venus dropped her serve only once and served that the match at 5-3 in the third set, the outlet said.
During the game, Venus had six aces and two doubles-faults. Serena had 19 aces and nine double-faults.
"I definitely don't like playing her," Serena said about Venus, according to ESPN. "I think I've lost to her more than anyone on the tour, so it's definitely not a fun match."
"She's tough. She has a great serve. She runs every ball down. She has a great backhand. She hits winners off the forehand. She does everything well so it's not an ideal matchup for anyone, to be honest."
Venus will player either Poland's Agnieszka Radwanska, 25, or Russia's Ekaterina Makarova, 26, in the final on Aug. 10.
HollywoodLifers, what do you think of Venus beating Serena in the Rogers Cup semi-finals? Were you rooting for her or someone else? Let us know!

There are different ways to achieve a flawless skin after acne and it needs medical interventions and commitment on part of the patient. Acne treatment has multiple stages - to control new breakouts, to clear the sequelae (pigmentation and scars) and to prevent a relapse. An attempt to find out the root cause of acne should be made in every patient or else it keeps recurring. Each phase takes a couple of weeks before we move to the next phase of treatment. If you have active acne lesions, it should be controlled on priority basis.
Next Steps
Acne prescriptions have to be customized for a patient, Anti acne medications for you and another patient of acne may be different and cannot be generalized.
Health Tips
Apart from active pharmaceutical medicines, a healthy diet and lifestyle is mandatory to achieve results.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - January 20, 1991, New Braunfels, Texas Trade show set in Herald-Z#/fung, New Braunfels, Texas Sunday, January 20, 1991 Page 7A SAN ANTONIO — Cuatro Cami-nos, an International Economic Conference and Trade Show, has been set for Fdb. 25-27 in Monterrey, Mexico. It will offer Texan and Mexican business people a wide array of seminars and workshops on mutual trade opportunities. A strong focus of the conference will be cm how businesses can prepare to take advantage of the proposed U.S./Mexico Free Trade Agreement. Participants also will have a chance to meet with potential trading partners across the border. Co-sponsored by the Greater Austin-San Antonio Corridor Council and the Monterrey-based Consejo Nacional de Comerico Exterior (CONACEX), Cuatro Caminos is the second conference of its kind for the South Central Texas-Northeastern Mexico region. The Corridor Council co-sponsored the Camino Real conference in Austin in 1989 and presented a two-nation Vacation Interna tional Tourism conference in San Antonio in 1990. Cuatro Caminos is the first to offer a trade show, business matchmaking opportunities and an emphasis on specific business issues. "In light of the exciting progress being made between the United States and Mexico on a free trade agreement, the timing is perfect,** said Lila Cockrell, mayor of San Antonio and 1990 president of the Corridor Council. "Our challenge is to find ways this economic region can work together." The conference will offer panel discussions and workshops (Mi topics like technology transfer and development, investment and joint ventures, infrastructure development, free trade zones, environmental compliance, international trade, maquiladoras and joint promotions. "A unique aspect of Cuatro Cami-nbs will be the business-to-business matchmaking, which will facilitate one-on-one meetings between executives from both sides of the border," said Austin's Mayor Lee Cooke, 1991 president of the council. "The high-tech industry in the corridor should be especially excited by the new opportunities opening up in Mexico.** The Corridor Council, chambers of commerce and trade associations in the region are surveying 1,500 Texas businesses to determine which are interested in exporting or importing goods or services. CONACEX is conducting a similar study in northern Mexico. Greg Davenport, executive vice president of the Greater Austin-San Antonio Corridor Council, noted that this international trade database can later be used to arrange appointments with companies in Mexico that wish to become customers, suppliers, distributors or jot rn-venture partners. "We are targeting all of South Central Texas," Davenport said. "Business people from Corpus Christi, Laredo, McAllen, Harlingen, Brownsville, Del Rio, Eagle Pass, New Braunfels, Seguin, San Marcos, Round Rock, Georgetown, Lockhart, Uvalde, Cotulla and Carrizo Springs will participate in the conference, along with those from Austin and San Antonio." Anyone interested in participating in Cuatro Caminos, as a participant or trade show exhibitor, should contact Davenport at the Greater Austin-San Antonio Corridor Council in San Marcos by calling 512/245-2535. The Corridor Council is a nonprofit organization, dedicated to the development of international assets of the region, supported by members in the private and public sectors as well as academic and research institutions. CONACEX, a Monterrey-based industrial group, is coordinating the Cuatro Camino conference from the Mexican side. Also participating are several Mexican business and government groups from the northeastern Mexican states of Coahuila, Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas.Besserung honoree to be named Friday Paying tribute to 20 years of accomplishment as it kicks off its new year at a banquet Friday is the Greater New Braunfels Chamber (rf Commerce. The annual meeting and banquet, set for 7 pm. at the Civic Center, will feature a slide 9how highlighting the chamber's tenure. Music by Paul McLaughlin, narrative by Herb Skoog and comments from chamber leaders should round out the entertaining and informative program. A buffet dinner will be served. The gavel wielded by the chairman of the board will change hands and a variety of awards will be presented. Of special interest will be the announcement of this year's Besserung Award recipient, kept secret until the ceremony. The coveted Besserung, for "community betterment," is the highest citizen's honor bestowed by the New Braunfels Chamber and is awarded in recognition of a significant contribution to the improvement of the community. Tickets for the banquet can be purchased from any Blue Coat or chamber board director, or at the Chamber of Commerce office, 390 S. Seguin. Trustee holds out little hope for Eastern MIAMI (AP) — Eastern Airlines trustee Martin Shugrue said Saturday "the final chapter may not yet have been written** for the 62-year-old grounded carrier, but he offered little hope. "I don't term anything permanent,'* Shugrue told reporters and employees gathered at company headquarters. "There continue to be serious expressions of interest by financially qualified*' investors or buyers of Eastern assets. Eastern, which stopped service at midnight Friday, remains in Chapter ll bankruptcy reorganization, and Shugrue said efforts to reorganize were continuing with no deadline for liquidation. But in what often sounded like a eulogy, Shugrue said, "I don't want to hold out false hope." Eastern owes more than $3 billion, including $2 billion to unsecured creditors, and even the nation's strongest carriers are reporting losses during an industrywide recession. A crippling strike that began March 4, 1989, hurt Eastern, Shugrue said, bitt he said "events beyond our control*' such as the Persian Gulf crisis, soaring fuel costs and continued, damaging speculation about Eastern's future ruined chances for a turnaround. "The combination of events we faced here was simply overwhelming," he said. "We simply ran out of time." Shugrue had urged unsuccessfully that President Bush intervene to help airlines after fuel costs tripled in the aftermath of Iraq's Kuwait invasion. He noted crude prices dropped sharply last week and that such a drop a few weeks ago could have kept Eastern flying. "We are a nation at war," Shugrue said, adding that Eastern, with nearly 160 aircraft, would be talking to Defense Department officials about their need for commercial aircraft to help with cargo needs in Operation Desert Storm. The airline's immediate concerns are determining how many of the 18,000 employees are needed to carry out the shutdown, ranging from ferrying empty planes to Eastern bases to dealing with ticketholders' questions. Shugrue said all major carriers were honoring Eastern tickets at least partly, and he singled out AmericanBooks Continued from Page 6A related problems and find satisfaction in both areas. "I never used to know that I had a right to rest," says Glouberman. "I always took for granted the fact that I was not living a worthwhile life unless I was working, or, if not actual ly working, at least worrying about not working. I suspected that it was dangerous, boring, useless, and highly immoral to stop before I dropped." McGee-Cooper believes that balancing the "top line" (concerns with people and quality of life) with the "bottom line" (concerns with things, productivity, and profit) is essential for energy and vitality.

Eastern also had an information hotline and told ticketholders they would receive refunds from a special $50 million set-aside account — but it's not known how long that would take. "They said I'm protected and they'll send it in the mail," said a skeptical Gary LaMountain, a New Yorker stuck with an Eastern ticket. "Uh-huh. The money is as good as in the bank, right?" Many travel agents had been advising customers to buy Eastern tickets with credit cards, so they can advise the credit card company to remove the charge, leaving the company to deal with Eastern.Defensive DrivingClasses Saturday and Evening Classes Available Classes held at Holiday Inn Saturday, Jan. 26 8:00-5:00 Mon. & Tues.

From the A-Z book:
A Cypripedium / Lady's Slipper orchid would be one that is good in your
zone. The genus is comprised of approximately 45 species of deciduous,
terrestrial orchids. They are found in dry woodland or marshy places in
temperate areas of the N. hemisphere, and in S.Asia and Mexico. Grow in
moist, fertile, leafy, humus-rich, neutral to acidic soil, in a sheltered
site in light dappled or partial shade. Provide a winter mulch of leaf
US Zones 3-7
C. acaule
C. calceolus
US Zone 2-7
C. reginae
US Zone 4-8

All of the above are terrestrial.

A claim that a formula baby milk can improve an infant's eyesight is being challenged in Brussels - despite having been approved by EU food health experts.
A senior British MEP has stepped in just days before a February 3 deadline for raising objections.
Authorisation for the eyesight claim was given by the EU Standing Committee on Food Chain and Animal Health in a private meeting last December.
It relates to a declaration by American-based formula baby milk manufacturer Mead Johnson about the benefits of its milk products containing a fatty acid called DHA.
The Committee, made up of national food health specialists from the 27 EU countries, has power to decide whether health claims used in the marketing of food and drinks could mislead the public.
And the experts have backed Mead Johnson's statement that "DHA has a structural and functional role in the retina, and DHA intake contributes to the visual development of infants up to 12 months of age".
But now the leader of Britain's Labour MEPs, Glenis Willmott, is invoking European Parliament powers to question the decision.
Ms Willmott, the party's euro-spokeswoman on food safety, commented: "It is clear that there are concerns about the scientific evidence that would support a claim like this.
"We simply don't know enough about how DHA functions when delivered via the bottle.
"If this particular fatty acid is really proven to be beneficial to babies' health when used in formula milk then we owe it to mothers and their children to ensure it is included in all products. If the link hasn't been proven, then companies shouldn't be allowed to make this claim."
DHA - "docosahexanenoic acid" - is found in small amounts in breast milk and is a recognised factor in the development of infants' retinas.
But Ms Willmott says there is no consistent independent evidence that the synthesised version of DHA used in formula milk - different from that found in breast milk - has the same eyesight benefits.
She wants the issue reconsidered by the European Parliament - with a majority vote of all 736 MEPs required to overturn the experts' decision.
Ms Willmott added: "The European Parliament delegated the power to make these decisions to a specialist committee, but most of the work done under the health claims legislation focuses on foods for adult consumption."
The same expert Committee has rejected a series of other claims by manufacturers about the benefits of formula baby milk, but Ms Willmott is concerned that its decisions are made in private. Summaries of its meetings are published, but the votes of the various national specialists are not shown.
Ms Willmott said: "Baby milk is a very special product and this decision has been taken without public scrutiny. I want to have a proper debate about whether this kind of claim is appropriate and I want to have that debate in public."
She said the issue was separate from the "breast is best" debate, adding: "I recognise that there are clear benefits to a child's development in breast feeding, but in this case I want to ensure that parents who choose to bottle feed can be confident that manufacturers have parents and their children's best interests at heart.
"I am sure that milk manufacturers will be gearing up for a big battle on this issue but our children's health is too important to be left in the hands of a multinational company's marketing department."

10 Tips for Choosing the Right Catering Service in Dallas
When you look at factors that can make or break an event, few would be as important as the quality, flavor and appearance of the food and beverages you serve. A lot rides on who you choose as your caterer for the event. Amazing Texas catering, can go a long way in rescuing an event that's on the rocks, but bad catering will most certainly lead to an event ending up as a disaster.
Caterers can vary dramatically in their pricing and the types of menus and services they offer.
So, how do you choose the right caterer for your event in Dallas?
Here are a few criteria that you should consider when hiring a caterer.
1) Responsiveness and Personal Responsibility With Regards to Your Needs
The responsiveness and interest a caterer in Dallas displays during your initial discussion will give you a good indication as to the quality of their service on your contract.
A prospective caterer should take personal interest in your event and strive to make it a big success.
2) Ability to Handle Your Specific Type of Event
Not every caterer will be good for all types of event. So understand the caterer's capability and area of specialization before you sign the contract. Of all the Dallas catering services, MY House Catering focuses on the customer's best interest and satisfaction
When interviewing your caterers, you should be specific about the type of event you are planning and the type of food and presentation that you expect. The let them explain how they can help you make it a reality. This gives you a good idea of their capability and interest.
3) Flexibility With Regards To Menu Options
Any catering service in Dallas who has been in the industry and knows what they are doing will have a number of different menu options that get updated constantly. They should also keep up with the current trends.
However, the best caterers will go far beyond standardized menu options and be willing to create amazing customized menus to match your specific requirement. A good example is the My House Catering service. Although they have menus to suit almost every event, the best thing about them is that they give you the freedom to choose your own menu. This option helps in making your event truly special.
An ideal caterer should be willing to accept (or at least consider) special requests – like be willing to add a family recipe that you want included.
4) Tastings and samples
If you are not given the chance to sample a caterer's wares, how will you be able to make an informed choice? You cannot choose a menu item unless you know what it tastes like.
5) Familiarity With the Venue and Locality
The caterer should be a local business and be familiar with the venue. This is even more important because some venues may have specific restrictions.
6) Clarity of Contract
The caterer's contract should talk clearly about details like what food, beverages and services the caterer will be providing. It should also protect you from non-performance as much as it protects the caterer from non-payment.
Every detail should be elaborated in the contract - like selected menus, number of servings and/or number of people to be served, beverage/bar service details, pricing and details of additional services.
7) Well-Defined Cancellation Plan
Although it may never be required, you still need to ensure that there is a cancellation clause in your contract just in case your caterer has to cancel.
8) References You Can Call and Talk To
Look for online reviews and also ask some past clients if you can track them down.
9) Does the Caterer Have An Experienced Chef
Find out which chef you are going to work with once you sign up with a particular caterer. Ask about the chef's bona fides and CV because he/she will probably be the person most responsible for the outcome of the meal.
Now that you know how to choose the right caterer, you can confidently plan your next event.
Now if you are planning your special event in Dallas, you're in luck because the best catering service that I know of is in Dallas – My House Catering.
They have the capacity to handle any type of event – so you can rest assured, you will be in good hands. They also have a huge collection of menus featuring lip smacking dishes. Their customer service is the best I've seen. But for me, the one thing that seals the deal is the fact that they will create a menu for you that you can call your own. Now that can makes any event special!

My 2TB Caviar Black WD2002FAEX is doing the exact same thing as this user posted in April. DLG Diag for Windows V1.24 extended test says it passed, but when I format a 1725 GB NTFS partition on Windows 2003 SP2 it reports almost 900 GB in bad sectors. Was there a resolution to this problem? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks, Dan.
If DLG detects the full capacity of the drive, then you may have a driver problem. Some NVIDIA nForce drivers, for example, had a 1 TiB limitation which was fixed by a driver update.
Otherwise, if DLG reports a capacity of 1TB, then see the following thread for an explanation and solution:
I'm currently compiling a HDD Capacity FAQ, so I would be very interested in your outcome.

News : SaaS Company, HTK, Launches Horizon Loyalty Hub for Retail
Hong Kong, July 26, 2016 -- Software-as-a-service company HTK has launched a new platform that has been designed to solve the key challenges that marketing directors/CMOs face in addressing the customer loyalty market.
Recent Forrester research warned businesses of the pitfalls of failing to provide high-value in person and digital experiences in the current "Age of the Customer", pointing out that consumers are likely to go elsewhere if they can't access immediate added value.
Horizon addresses this issue by providing a suite of loyalty management capabilities focused around social community, gamification, connected devices (IoT), hyper-local personalisation and real-time mobile engagement.
Marlon Bowser, CEO of HTK, said: "Ever-increasing customer expectations simply cannot be met through the traditional one-size-fits-all approach to loyalty programmes. Businesses now have a clear choice when it comes to loyalty – innovate or die."
Horizon's loyalty management tools work seamlessly alongside the platform's capabilities for omni-channel marketing campaign management.

Thanks for the query. You need to meet a good Dermatologist to have a proper diagnosis. Can it be psoriasis or something else? Once the diagnosis is ascertained, proper treatment can be initiated. If it's eczema, an attempt to find the triggers has to be made or else it keeps recurring. Don't lose hope and the problem can be cured for sure. Hope it helps.
Next Steps
Your dermatologist will decide a treatment plan for you after a consultation.
Health Tips
All the best. Avoid self-medications.

Once again the issue of inequality and unfairness is at it again
On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show: Once again the issue of inequality and unfairness is at it again in Washington D.C. - with President Obama inciting division as always. Obama is trying to advance his ideology - he doesn't care about women getting equal pay, he's just using it as a wedge issue to rile up the voter base. Obama is trying to emphasize how unjust of a society we live in, when in reality America isn't bad and discrimination isn't as rampant as he would have you believe. Also, isn't it interesting how we find out that the White House, despite its arguments for women to be paid as much as men, don't pay their own employees the same? It's all about the case for Obama and the leftists - and that is radical transformation. Also, Mark talks about nullification and the Article V process and explains why nullification doesn't work.

Daniel Alfredsson has been here before. Many of his teammates haven't.
The Senators captain will look to pass his playoff experience on to a youthful Ottawa locker-room before the team opens its Eastern Conference quarter-final with the Rangers in New York on Thursday.
But Alfredsson says there's nothing that can really prepare a player for his NHL playoff debut.
"It's like going to Vegas for the first time," the 39-year-old said Wednesday. "People can tell you how incredible it is to see these buildings in the middle of the desert, but until you go there it doesn't do it justice.
"The playoffs are the same way."
Ottawa, the eighth seed in the East, will dress no fewer than six players with zero NHL playoff experience at Madison Square Garden against the heavily-favoured Rangers.
Alfredsson, who has 107 playoff games to his credit, believes preparation will be key for the Senators' young players.
"It's just making them aware of how things are on such a bigger scale. If you say the wrong thing it's going to be in every paper and you're going to have to answer for it," he said. "It's about handling your emotions because you're so pumped up and you have to be able to direct them in the right way. They'll learn a lot right from that first game."
One of those young players is rookie defenceman Jared Cowen.
"We've been talking about playoffs for a while now, especially since we clinched," he said. "It's exciting to actually get into it now and actually experience it for the first time and get the game started."
Cowen says he feels both excited and nervous but adds the experience of players like Alfredsson and Sergei Gonchar (118 playoff games) is reassuring.
"It's nice to have those guys here to know I can ask them about anything," said the 21-year-old Cowen. "They always have things to say in the locker-room or just in general about how things are going to work because the playoffs are different and they help to calm me down."
The success of the AHL's Binghamton Senators, who won last season's Calder Cup, also helps.
"I think we're going to rely on that experience a lot simply because we don't have NHL playoff experience," said winger Colin Greening. "We went through four rounds of really hard, arduous hockey so we're banking on that experience to help us."
In addition to Greening and Cowen, Erik Condra, Kaspars Daugavins, Jim O'Brien and Bobby Butler were part of Binghamton's championship team. Zack Smith was also part of the squad, but he played six playoff games for Ottawa in 2010.
With so many first timers in the lineup Paul MacLean isn't quite sure what to expect.
"That's what experience gives you. It's the fact you've been there before so it's not as surprising or overwhelming as a guy who's there for the first time," said MacLean. "We feel a sense of confidence in our group because they've had the experience at the Calder Cup and winning a championship.
"Although it's different from the Stanley Cup playoffs it's still playoff hockey and our feeling is that's going to make the adjustment a little shorter than it would be for the normal guy that's just starting out and it's his first Stanley Cup playoff game or playoff game."
Gonchar says he still gets nervous before playoff games, but relying on structure and routine helps manage that excitement.
"We'll do our preparations and our stuff and make sure we're ready for when the game starts," said Gonchar. "I don't think we'll have to do too much, we'll just do our thing and make sure everyone's on the same page. It's making sure we play our game, play for 60 minutes and do your job. Just focus on the things that you're doing and make sure you do them right."
Notes: Game 2 of the series goes Saturday night in New York. The series shifts to Ottawa for Game 3 on Monday and Game 4 on Wednesday. ... Senators D Matt Carkner returned to the ice Wednesday and said he is fit to play if needed. ... Senators RW Mika Zibanejad was assigned to Binghamton. Zibanejad caused a minor stir on Tuesday when he skated on Ottawa's top line in practice with Jason Spezza and Milan Michalek. Binghamton has two games left in its regular season and won't make the playoffs.Report Typo/Error

Discussion in 'Off-topic Zone' started by theogt, Dec 29, 2010.
I get the message "deleted at 9:07:15 on dec29th 2010".....not available.
It was there a half hour ago, and now I get the same message.
LOL. The DMCA takedown notice of Pixar.
It was a fan edited compilation of scenes from all of the Pixar movies set to some great music. It was incredibly done.
Did it have a three second screen of DCF's website URL prominently displayed before the video started?
Nor his incessant uber-defensive pathological rants either.
I linked the Youtube version above.
Pixas never fails. They do some seriously good work. Their medium quality stuff is head and shoulders above much of the industry's best.
I remember seeing an two hour special on the History Channel about the conception and early days of Pixar, up to now. The evolution of Pixar is absolutely stellar. It's amazing what an team of people who believe in one mans hair-brained idea can achieve by unifying.
I think Incredibles is insanely overrated. Not even sure if I finished it. Conversely, a Bugs life(And Antz if they made that) are underrated.(Although Antz was a bit dark and had Woody Allen and Stallone)
They do make some good looking movies, even if they haven't had as much quality storytelling since The Incredibles.

Changing Differential/Transfer Case Fluid
I have 120,000 on my 98. I have no idea as to what the P.O. did to it maintenance-wise. I've put about 12k miles on the car in the past year and a half.
I figured that I might as well change the differential/transfer case fluids since I recently discovered the stock radiator hoses were still in the jeep and the tranny fluid was VERY dirty. That was a huge tip off that she didn't do much to it.
Any advice? I haven't ever done this before.
What type of advice are you looking for? Fluid Brands/types? Plug locations? Fluid Capacities?
Do you have a manual or auto tranny?
heres a great write up for the differential
Differential Service
All of the above haha
I have an automatic
Jeep NV3550 Transmission & NP231 Transfer Case Service
the 3rd write up on that page is for the transfer case
I got my transmission serviced, do you think that they did the transfer case?
I just about always do my own work so im unsure what they would do, but I would say no they didn't. Could be wrong though...
They dropped the pan, did a complete service, and repaired the cooling lines

Helena: 10 Minutes Before Impact
She raced through the woods like a ghost, moving almost too quickly to leave footprints in the fresh snow. Twigs and branches scratched her face and hands as she went but nothing would slow her. Close enough now that she could hear their brutal growls and excited barks, Helena slid into a small bush on a small hill and cautiously peered through the leaves to see the action below. The scene was hopeless to say the least. Four wolves, each the size of a large horse, circled a doll-like figure. Unconcerned with the figure, Helena focused on the wolves. This was clearly a suicide mission; she could never take on four wolves at once. The most she'd ever defeated at once was two and even then the scars from that incident would live forever. No, she could never kill four; it was an unrealistic number of enemies. The logical thing to do, the reasonable thing, would be to just walk away. Leave the fool to the mercy of the beasts and fate. What would did it benefit if both she and the figure died? The only thing to do in a situation like this was to save as many lives as possible and the only one she could save would be her own.
Helena rose out of her crouch, intent on leaving as quickly and silently as she had come but she spared the doll one last glance. And that was her undoing.
She didn't know what, specifically, it was about him. Her logic told her that he was an unremarkable human, foolishly dressed for the weather and surrounded by beasts beyond his comprehension. But logic was not the only player in this game. Something else, and she wasn't sure what, made her enraged at his impossible situation and something even stronger than that made her want to save him. With the sudden clearness of an epiphany Helena realized that this was the real reason she was here. This was her purpose, to save this boy from certain death, even if it meant her own death.
Without farther thought, Helena leapt on the nearest wolf and plunged her silver knife deep into its side. With a strangled yelp it collapsed. She didn't wait to make sure it was dead; she ripped her knife out quickly and turned to face the next wolf, charging at her with sharp fangs glistening. Making a snap decision, Helena slid under the massive creature, halting its charge. It bit at her, narrowly missing her head as she shoved her other knife straight up into its chest. Swift as ever, Helena rolled out from under it before it could fall down on her and jumped lightly to her feet. The third wolf came at her from the side, pouncing on her and knocking her to the ground. Seeing its teeth, poised for striking, she raised her arm before the wolf could sink its fangs into her throat. It ripped and tore at her forearm, not noticing until too late that her other hand had plunged the knife into its fat neck. Helena quickly shoved the dying beast off of her, once again rolled to her feet, scanning the woods for her fourth and final enemy.
But instead of meeting the eyes of a massive wolf, Helena instead met the eyes of the boy. This wasn't the first time she'd saved humans from the hands of magical creatures and she knew what to expect: fear, disbelief and running/begging for their pathetic lives. But the boy did none of these things. He seemed calm, almost detached from the battle around him. He made no attempt to escape and save himself. Her stare seemed to make him recall himself and he opened his mouth, as if to frame a question but never got the chance.
The last wolf, taking advantage of her momentary distraction, had come up behind her. Conscious of it in the last second, Helena moved enough to avoid a killing blow but not enough to escape the fangs completely. Razor sharp teeth sunk into her shoulder, picked her up and shook her like a ragdoll. Mercilessly, it threw her into a nearby tree with enough force to make her see stars. Desperately she groped for the knife she'd dropped on impact, now lying only a few inches from her hand. But the wolf bounded up at full speed, one of its paws landing squarely on her leg and breaking it was a crack of finality. Although her eyes were still fixed on the knife, she knew it would lunge for her and instinctively put up her arm in defense. She grabbed the knife but as she did, the wolf grabbed hold of her elbow and ripped viciously back and forth. Blood splattered both their faces and in that instant, Helena knew she was going to die. She didn't have much time left to do what she came here to do.
Taking a firmer grip on her knife, Helena stabbed it in the only reachable place; the eye. The wolf yelped in pain but acted too slowly to prevent the death blow as Helena pushed the knife as deep as it would go. The animal let go of her and jumped back, the hilt of the blade sticking out of its left eye. It tossed its head and stumbled weakly for a moment and then, like its brothers before it, it collapsed into the snow and was gone.

Anna: Averted GazeMature
The crowd of hung-over friends began to slim by lunchtime when many of them could not stand to watch another 'action packed' Jeremy Kyle episode which had been on back to back for the last hour and a half and threatened to continue. Many of them muttered words of thanks as they left saying that they would be falling back into bed when they got home to sleep off their self induced illness's.
Soon only Shaun, Frankey-Leigh and a girl called Daisy who was a friend of Frankey's who she'd dragged along were left to leave, they did not however show any signs of leaving and it was only when Frankey-Leigh showed signs of falling back to sleep again did I put my foot down and say rather insistently,
"Don't you think it's time to go home?"
"Yeah you're probably right Anna" yawned Frankey from the nearby chair where she was close to dozing off. I gave her friend a look which she understood and Daisy got to her feet.
"Come on Frankey, time to make tracks otherwise we will miss the train," she said walking over to her friend, grabbing her arm and pulling her out of her chair. Frankey moaned with displeasure about being uprooted from her comfy armchair but I didn't care, I was hung over and didn't want to play host anymore. Daisy threw Frankey's coat around her friends shoulders as Frankey herself seemed incapable of doing do it herself, smiles as means of a thank you and left.
I wasn't too bothered that Shaun was still around, maybe that was because I had known Shaun longer than Frankey-Leigh but his presence was welcomed by me for it meant it was another excuse not to look at Cara who I still felt a surge of embarrassment when I thought about what had happened.
Shaun too had drunk a substantial amount more than the other party guests so was still drifting in and out of consciousness when he wasn't doing anything. Leanne had told me that Shaun had been sick in a bush on the way to get the bread that morning and then catching the smell then the sight of his sick, had thrown up again in the same bush on the way back.
"Hey Shaun, do you want to crash here another night?" I asked him, "I mean you still look rough as a dog and incapable of finding your way home. I can make up the sofa as a bed?" I offered.
"That would be great Anna, you're a star!" Shaun said with a smile, leaning back on some cushions he had been propping himself up on.
"Anyone seen Ali?" Cara asked sticking her head around the kitchen door and into the living room, "I haven't seen her since the party?"
"Is that your other girl house mate?" Shaun asked, I was grateful for this because it meant I didn't have to look at Cara.
"I heard her on the phone last night, on about staying at a friend's, didn't want to be at the party obviously" Shaun said with a shrug, "If I am honest, I can't remember the latter part of the evening all that clearly, it's like trying to see to the bottom of a pond with murky water in, it fades into blackness."
"Very profound" I said
"Well it is!"
"Oh," Cara said, "I'd made her a coffee is all but I guess I could give it to Leanne, she likes coffee doesn't she Anna?" Cara asked. I had no choice but to look at Cara now, as she had addressed a question to me.
"Leanne had to go home, they have hit a busy week at work so she won't be back until the weekend … but you could keep it warm for her" I said lightheartedly before becoming very interested in my laces
"Oh haha" she said a note of irritation in her voice for some reason before disappearing into the kitchen to pour the coffee away.
I got to my feet and went into the kitchen after her,
"What's got you wound up?" I asked with my hands on my hips.
"You shifting your gaze every time I am anywhere near you, you won't look at me!"
"That's because every time I do I remember that you walked in on me and Leanne and I feel embarrassed and don't want you to judge me, I said sheepishly looking down at my feet.
"I wouldn't judge you when I've …." She faltered slightly before continuing, "When I've not been an angel all my life."
"Right okay" I said distractedly, my attention focusing on that slight falter, suggesting that there was something that Cara wasn't telling me.

Celia Paul is the least noisy portrait painter in oils imaginable. Her subjects - which usually tend to be relatives, close friends or herself - exist within a kind of religiose hush of rapt self-absorption.
There is no hubbub and no wildness of gesture. The nature of their looking, and they way their hands are folded upon each other, smack of the early Renaissance – Masaccio and others. The figures themselves often look attenuated and, when compared with the sitters, a little older than their actual age.
I call them religiose, but until now her links with religion have been under-emphasised. Not now. This new show includes a series of paintings, collectively entitled Separation, which were first shown at Chichester Cathedral. These are paintings which circle around the subject of the Virgin Mary – there is a Pieta, an Assumption, and an Annunciation, for example, all events at which Mary was a significant human player.
Not all these paintings are successful. Pieta, for example, seems to strain too far in the direction of the traditional – but it is a traditional slightly inflected by the lessons of Cubism, which makes it feel awkward, neither quite one thing nor the other. Best of all are the ones in which she has substituted one of her familiar models for the figure of the Virgin. The Annunciation shows us a woman, risen up from a glowing bed at the corner of an otherwise empty room, approaching a window, a wonderful light source. The light from that window seems be engulfing her. In fact, she is entirely suffused by it. She appears to be rising out of herself, rhapsodically.
Even more interestingly lateral in its thinking is The Assumption, which is more a kind of turbulent landscape than any portrait of the Virgin being caught up into the heavens. In fact, there is not a sign of her. Instead, what we have here is a painting of elemental turbulence, which puts us in mind of that statement made at the hour of the Crucifixion – the earth itself seems to be in a state of agony.
Celia Paul, it has to be said, is not so good at painting men. There are three portraits here which contain images of Frank, her son by Lucian Freud. Why do they lack conviction? Her strength has always been in that ability to expose the precariously ethereal nature of the human presence. Frank looks too solidly earthbound, too much burdened by his physicality. He lacks imaginative flight.
