The whole experience with DialAFlight was a great one. All except the intransigence of Avis. Due to that it would be highly unlikely I would use Avis again. It was a good job we were visiting friends that had come to meet us at the airport - otherwise we would have been stranded at the deserted airport at midnight (no other visible staff or taxis around). They had to make 2 trips to take us all to their home.

AA were a let down on the internal flights. Weather cancelled first connection flight to Indianapolis and I was subsequently bumped off the following flight. So I missed a reunion dinner as I did not arrive in Indianapolis until 2230.

A sea of green balsam wreaths
LITTLE FALLS — Due to a last minute wave of contributions and sponsorships all indications are that shortly after 11 a.m. Dec. 15, a giant sea of green balsam wreaths with big red bows will begin to spread over the entire Minnesota State Veterans Cemetery in Little Falls to honor every one of our country's fallen veterans buried there.
"At the last count there were 3,798 gravesites at the cemetery," John Thomas, president of WreathsForTheFallen.org, said. "And more will be added by Dec. 15. All indications at this time show we will be able to honor all the veterans buried there this year with a large natural handmade balsam bough wreath with a big red bow. It's a miracle about to happen."
Wreath requests to honor our country's fallen veterans have been substantially higher than last year.
WreathsForTheFallen.org and its many volunteers have worked hard over the past few years to meet its goal and recent large contributions from various organizations have made this possible, according to Thomas.
This year the date for the National Remembrance Ceremony has been scheduled for 11 a.m. Dec. 15, the third Saturday in December. Next year and thereafter it will be back on the second Saturday in December.
For a number of years now the annual ceremony has been conducted at the Minnesota State Veterans Cemetery honoring veterans who have served honorably for our country. After the ceremony, consisting of representatives from each branch of the military, several thousand wreaths will be placed on various markers of our fallen veterans. Many volunteers from the Minnesota Civil Air Patrol and the Minnesota Patriot Guard perform the honor of placing the wreaths on the grave sites. The public is also invited to assist in the wreath distribution.
Everyone is invited to the ceremony and wreath placement. It is suggested those interested in attending arrive before 10 a.m. The ceremony starts at 11 a.m. sharp. Wreath placement begins at about 11:20 a.m.
A group from Eagle Bend will provide lots of hot coffee, hot cider and other refreshments for everyone attending this event.
Those who would like to make a general donation to this cause, may do so by contributing to the wreath general fund for the 2013 event. Information is on the www.WreathsForTheFallen.org web site. Everyone is invited to participate in the wreath laying ceremony.
For additional information, contact: John Thomas at 218-829-6622 or go to www.WreathsForTheFallen.org.

Comments about K Tool International Brake Spring Tool:
this tool is made of inferior metal and is also of a poor design. I found the tool painful to hold and use due to it's small diameter and sharp edges. I also found the open end would not fit over the anchor bolt making it impossible to use this tool to remove the springs. In addition the edges intended to lift and remove a spring became distorted with premature wear. Soft metal. If I had to do it over again..I would opt for the spring pliers.

Brussels Christmas market
When the Australians played Ireland at the North of Ireland CC ground in Belfast in 1961, I got to meet my namesake Alan Davidson at the tea interval. A press photographer took a picture of our meeting and it appeared in the Belfast Newsletter the next morning.
During an earlier tour in the early 1950's (1953 ?) my father had written to Alan Davidson telling him I was listening to the test match commentaries on the radio and as a five year old was a big fan the great bowler. He kindly replied to the letter and when I met him 8 years later he remembered the story. He was a very gracious man and one of the cricketing greats.

Thunder 88, Mavericks 76
Associated Press | Last updated October 24, 2012
Kevin Durant scored 18 points and James Harden added 16 to lead the Oklahoma City Thunder to an 88-66 preseason victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night. Serge Ibaka scored all 15 of his points in the first half for the Thunder. The Mavericks, playing without Dirk Nowitzki, Shawn Marion and Vince Carter, were led by Jae Crowder's 21 points and nine rebounds. Brandan Wright added 11 points. Oklahoma City went on 14-4 run in the first quarter to take a 21-14 lead and was never threatened after that. The spurt was capped by consecutive dunks from Nick Collison and Durant. Collison, a former star at Kansas, drew loud ovations all night. The Mavericks pulled to 80-71 on a jumper by Bernard James with 5:48 to play, but Dallas was held to only one point over the next four minutes.

Note: And the next part of year 1...
Sleep was something that Harry had discovered was not in much of a demand and it left him with time to prowl the corridors of the ancient school when lesser beings slept all nestled in their beds and dreamed of mornings to come.
A slight bit of motion drew his attention towards the floor and a almost bemused grin crossed his blood red lips.
"Hello Little Devil," he conceded to the diminutive creature before him.
Cats were marvelous creatures to observe as they hunted, especially the care they took after the chase was over that held such lessons for one such as he.
Mrs. Norris was an even more interesting creature, one that placed itself at almost his equal, though not quite as proven by the ease that students and faculty alike tended to vacate his location at their earliest convenience.
Of course there were exceptions.
Dumbledore seemed unphased by anything, and while he hadn't done anything blatant to get a reaction, anything short of a nuke could probably be underwhelming for the old man.
Then there was the double bit of chaos that seemed to delight in random chaos. The Weasleys seemed to create either ones that amused him or cowards who disappointed him. Of course the twins seeming immunity to him gave him the theory, after a mercifully brief encounter with their mother before boarding the train, that they may have some banshee or similar creature in their lineage.
However and unfortunately, it seemed that only three beings had so far showed some of the vaunted Gryffindor courage and amuse him in any way, and one of them seemed to have been quietly stalking him since the festivities of Halloween.
"Students in the..." Filch trailed off at the sight of just who was standing there before attaining a beautiful pallor that seemed a tad off of the color of freshly fallen snow.
"Now...now," Harry chuckled, "Did you really think I would waste a night like this?"
The gulp in response was audible.
Mrs Norris simply snorted at her master before turning back to the No Life King with a vaguely imperious gesture.
"No," the man in crimson stated as he slipped something from his pocket, "I hadn't forgotten about you, Little Devil."
A white mouse wriggled in his palm, something that would bemuse him as the cat played with it before boring with the game due to instinctive hunger. He'd taken it a step further for his own amusement by feeding the meal with catnip before storing it away.
Filch seemed to come to his senses as the mouse was released to his companion and the boy seemed to dissolve into the shadows as if he were a wraith save for the mocking laughter that echoed through the stone halls.
Firenze watched the crimson figure stand before the shade.
The stars had spoken, and he had listened to their guidance while choosing to observe a moment in history rather than merely viewing the results.
Tonight it was happening, the king, the warrior, and the keeper of the dead all hung high above, seeming to roar in challenge at this moment.
Eternal twilight spoken in only as a lord of death and blood could enunciate.
When the stars spoke, they did not hint and taunt as the lady trapping herself in the tower, running far and wide with her sanity challenged by the visions and Cassandras Curse while the mortal means to control the divine power did their own damage to a fragile mind. However, they sang in riddles that give hints and advice for what was to come and only the wisest could ever discern those truths declared from the heavens.
The death of an innocent called forth a confrontation of two predators, something the part of him that came from the runners of the wild plain knew and feared, while event he man could see the risks and dangers of these titans waiting for the other to give ground.
Risks and rewards, to break up the fight could cause them both to turn on him upon his appearance, one could spook and the other attack, or both could break from the intrusion.
The wraith of the serpent lord flinched, almost as if it had gazed into the abyss of death itself as the laugh of nightmares and the lunatics smile bore the fangs of the unknown.
Destiny and fate shuddered as the stars sang a nightmarish mix of a coronation march and dirge at the crowning of the one it called the No Life King.
Eyes that seemed but pools of blood and hellfire bore down upon the centaur as the unholy creature in the form of a mere child grinned.
Unlike the countless wizard and witch students of Hogwarts he had observed over the years, this one did not have the bearing of one, nor did he have the same as an adult.
Body language was a large portion of the so called language that the centaurs could be said to speak, a trait from their observant natures some would say, but this one didn't fit any of what he knew of humans or other creatures.
Unlike humans, centaurs rarely remained in the same place their entire life. After leaving their childhood behind, a centaur would be sent to one of the other herds as a way to keep each group connected to one another which led to wider ranges of experience than, he had learned, the magical human population.
Firenzie originally hailed from a herd in Greece, the ancestral home of his kind as were, a smaller one that also lived beside a school, though one more combined with the smaller local population.
Records from the time of legends spoke of the stars dancing at a time when something special would happen.
Chiron himself had penned such things so long ago.
"Do you understand what you ask of me?" the young Prince asked, a voice almost taunting and yet, to him speaking of the legends of those far more than human that once walked the world of man and beast.
If it had been any other forest, it would have been deadly silent. However, this one had been the site of far to much in the way of magics oddities to let something unusual disturb its workings, much less something that seemed to view it as almost beneath its notice.
He could hear everything as the measured and even steps he took through the woods carried him with a unnerving grace. The Centaur had told him of this part of the forest, and the lack of life among the foliage told him far more than the inhabitants had.
Harry reacted in a flash to the skittering, pistol free in a blur of motion without even turning to look.
"So not all of your colony fled," he stated at the creature that stumbled to a halt, weapon pointed dead center of the acromantulas head, "Or were you simply trapped?"
The arachnid froze at the being before it, unsure how it was supposed to answer.
"You are not my prey," Harry spoke slowly, turning slowly to observe the creature, crimson eyes flashing in the pale moonlight trickling through the leaves in patches, one that the beast realized this man-thing was standing directly under.
A distant crack and a distorted echo of skittering brought a grin only at home on the face of a lunatic.
"That is."
It skittered through the branches towards the distant sounds it heard and felt.
While it vaguely resembled the form it had hatched in, it was now something else.
In his haste to flee the castle upon his hosts death, Voldemort had tried to find something, anything, that could sustain him until a more suitable form could be found.
The snake he'd found had the misfortune of not just being his intended target, as midway through the attempt one of the younger acromantulas attacked. Now the spirit of the dark lord was trapped, trying to keep the reins of a monster that was becoming more and more unstable as time passed as the blood of multiple magical creatures it attacked in its rage mixed with its own magics and that of the spirit.
Had he been fully aware, he who was once Tom Riddle would be screaming for his cage to flee as it charged towards something that had entered the range of its senses.

We went for a stroll down the beach in search of turtles, failed, and went back to the bar to meet Offie. We sat chatting for a while, and were joined by a German couple who wanted know where my AWESOME silk Ali Baba pants were from. I described the shop to them and we parted ways, ...

Its goal is to meet the conservation needs of important species and habitats, providing measurable and meaningful conservation and educational outcomes. The program requires the establishment and/or enhancement of diverse partnerships and an education/outreach component that will help shape and sustain behavior to achieve conservation goals. Funding priorities for this program include:
Healthy Watersheds Consortium Grant (HWCG) Program.

FIFA must step up human rights commitment: independent report
By Scott Malone
BOSTON (Reuters) - Soccer's embattled world governing body must make human rights one of its primary goals, on a par with promoting the sport and making money, according to recommendations by a former top U.N. official released on Thursday.
FIFA should be prepared to use its negotiating leverage to ensure that countries bidding for its World Cup championship protect the rights of people who build stadiums, John Ruggie, the U.N. secretary-general's former special representative for business and human rights, wrote in the 42-page report.
"What is required is a cultural shift that must affect everything FIFA does and how it does it," said the report, made at the request of the 112-year-old group of 209 national member associations. "This includes ... building and using its leverage to address these risks as determinedly as it does to pursue its commercial interests."
The Switzerland-based federation has been thrown into turmoil in the past year with criminal investigations into corruption in the sport under way in the United States, where several dozen former soccer officials have been indicted, and Switzerland.
The recommendations come two weeks after Amnesty International described rights abuses in Qatar's preparations for the 2022 World Cup, including construction workers from Nepal and India being charged recruitment fees and housed in squalid conditions. Qatari officials said they were working to resolve those issues.
The report urges FIFA to abide by the U.N. Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. That would mean insisting that host countries comply with standards protecting all workers and that it make clear that it could unilaterally cut ties with entities that violated those standards.
Had the system Ruggie is recommending been in place when FIFA awarded Qatar the World Cup in 2010, it would have negotiated up-front to require better terms for international workers, he said.
"It is not FIFA trying to transform the country but it is trying to transform what the county does in relation to the tournament," said Ruggie, a professor at Harvard University. Continued...


text: Many people have died and come back to life. and when they wake up from death ten minutes later or so, they've all had very simular storys on what happened. They float up to the ceiling, looking down at their lifeless body below and crying relatives. To travel along like a tunnel seeing their favourite things around them, traveling along at the end to see, can you guess what im going to say? To see the 'Light', just to get pulled back and wake up back in thier bodys. This famous light. Its always been a mystery. What is this white light its been said to see when they die. Ghosts supposenly travel the earth searching for this light. The Entrance to Heaven? the place where the dead go to, for a better 'life'. a new start. Many religions have said come back to life as something else, someone else. Your past lifes. Have we all had past lifes? to think before you where you, you were a tiger or a butterfly, you could of even been the same person living somewhere completely different, living a better life, possibly different friends. Different parents. And the parents you have now on the other side of the world, really young, possibly havn't met yet. Just for you to die somehow, old age, car crash, whatever. For you to be born once more. People say they remember their past lifes. Others say they just cant. i know i cant remember my past life, though i can have strange dreams. Is that a passage to my past lifes memories? Dreams are what everyone knows and have. Images in our minds, we see when we close our eyes. Its strange how it works but it just does. Some people experience seeing something and then the next day it happens. Feeling that Dejavu.

Henry cont.
"What is that smirk across your face?" Auron glanced at me with curiosity, his thoughts were hopeful for something interesting apart from miss laid dragon eggs.
"Yes Auron there is more to my smirk than it first appears and no it hasn't got anything to do with missing dragon eggs."
"What is it, dear child, Eleanor, speak, and tell us what it is? Anxiety cannot be good for us anymore; we are too old to wait." Brom's words were also filled with curiosity. It made me laugh further.
"Henry is coming; he is going to be at the airport soon." A smile was on my face and I felt like I was glowing. Henry was a vampire and a very good friend of mine, he came searching for me years ago looking for the source of his curse. I taught him about it and he started to agree that it wasn't a curse and that it was an advantage to do, well…good.
It is a hundred and twenty three years and sixty four days since I last saw him, and I will be pleased to see him. I do so love him. We always have a good old laugh, and I enjoy his company massively, quite an interesting character. Henry was one of my long term friends and no matter how great the distance we always found time somewhere to get together and enjoy each others company. From my vision it looked like he was going to be staying for a while and I smiled even wider than before.
Brom, Auron and I decided to make a head start on heading to the airport, we travelled by foot. Running was something I was quite fond of, being able to run faster than the human eye could see was fascinating the world whizzes by in a blur. Life all around me, around us, was completely oblivious to our secret lifestyle our secret formation. We simply didn't exist and I liked it like that as do many others. Our way of life must be kept completely cloak-and-dagger. Human minds are too feeble and are unable to cope with what truly is reality; they struggle to comprehend the true size of the universe. They always have too many questions, but then again so do we.
Henry's arrival wasn't just an annual visit or a friendly drop by to see how I'm doing; he came with a full intended purpose. The question is what?
I love a good mystery but then again who wouldn't. Its something you genuinely can make speculations about.
Running to the airport meant we would be in London within an hour all the way from Exeter. That was good time considering we were running, but then again be didn't have to wait for traffic, or make any pit stops, or take a detour because of road works. Running means we have complete freedom, something I lavish. I can't stand being cooped up. I'm no bird! I'm a… well now what am I? I am Satan's daughter and do I really want to admit to that? Probably not would be the answer. Oh I do giggle to myself at my own little family issues.
We reached the outside of the airport; we had slowed down dramatically so that we were now moving at human speed. This was very laborious to us. I hate moving slow, but we know that it is a small price to pay to conceal the truth.
All the humans were busying away with their day to day lives. Some business men dressed up in a crisp, neatly pressed, pin stripped suit was on his way through the doors of the airports entrance. He was carrying a black leather suitcase and a rucksack which was slung over his left shoulder; it was a bright green and had caught my eye. It was almost florescent. I hated these man made colours that are ridiculously over the top. However, it did not stop me entering the terminal quietly. Normally when things catch my eye I have a tendency to follow them and sometimes strike up a conversation. Luckily I was too interested in meeting my good old friend again that the eye catching bag had little impact on my intention span today.
I sat in terminal three looking out of the window watching all the lights that lined the runway of Heathrow airport. It was average sized airport but I liked it, it had a friendly feel to it. I sat at the table just glancing through the window not really taking notice of anything when I heard a baby cry. His screams were loud and distraught. I didn't like it, it was distressing. The mother picked her baby up tenderly, she wasn't very old, she had a very slender figure, and there was a grace about the way she moved. I will be honest, I envied her. I wish I could move with such grace, I also wish that I had maternal instincts. I was a very unemotional thing really. So to watch the young mother in her flowery feminine dress, hold her baby to her chest and rock him to sleep in her arms was quite a dreamy, pretty picture.
One thing you should know about me, I don't dream. I would love to dream, but I can't when I sleep, I almost die.

Ok, I'm very new to the knitting world, and have started some basic stuff like scarves, but I found a pattern that I was told was easy (suuuure it is! lol beginning to think i'm in over my head already) but I'm having difficulty starting it.
It's a cupcake hat for my daughter, and the pattern calls for size 15 needles (double pointed) but I am having a very hard time finding needles of that size that are double pointed. I originally bought a circular needle thinking I could do it that way but it stretched the stiches too far and it just wasn't working out. So, my question is do I have to use double pointed or does the circular needle work and perhaps i just had the wrong length (only calls for 40 stitches to cast on with)? If I do need to use double pointed needles what length do they need to be?
Sorry for all of the questions-the people I've been learning are also semi new to knitting as well so we're kind of like the blind leading the blind! Any help/tips would be much appreciated. Thanks!
The circular can work if you use the Magic or single loop techniques which pull a bit of the cord out between sts, which effectively shortens it. ML is for longer needles and there's a video on the Advanced Techiques page, single loop is found here. 40 sts on that size needles sounds about right if you have bulky yarn.
Ok so knitting with a circular needle is different then your typical knitting with a straight needle? If that is the case for a begginer, which would method would you recommend doing? If double pointed is the way to go, do you have any ideas on where to find double pointed in that size?
Thanks so much for your help-and patience. I didn't realize there was so much to knitting-different stitches, methods, tools, etc....
NO, knitting with a circular needle is exactly the same as straights (the needle does the "work" on both types) it's the "cable" that holds lots of stitches for a large project and a smaller circular would have the same effect (for less stitches) it's the diameter of the "round" project to join in the round. That's where DPNS would come in handy, because you can still knit in the round with the dpns holding your stitches..Make sense? and yes they do make dpns that size (well mine are vintage..) so you might have to do some checking...
Technically circular knitting is exactly the same. Knitting is knitting. There are various methods to use them though. -
One circular needle can be used on hats if there are enough stitches to fit comfortably around the cable and needles. (if you do this you need to have another method though when you come to the decreases)
Two circular needles can be used with stitches on each cable and you knit one side then other.
One long circular needle can be used by using the magic loop method. If you use a short cable like a 24 you need to use the single loop as Sue posted.
There are tutorials in the video section. None of them are hard they're just something new to learn. I prefer to use magic loop on hats and I prefer a long cable.. at least 32 and preferably longer. I have interchangeable needles so I have what I need most of the time.
Look up double pointed needles on Google and you'll find lots of them. I suggest you don't buy super cheap ones though. They aren't always good. I like the Clover ones or ones like the ones I linked to. http://www.knitpicks.com/needles/Double_Pointed_Knitting_Needles__L300303.htmlhttp://www.yarn.com/webs-knitting-needles-double-points/
Thank you all for the help/suggestions/clarifications and links! I found a local shop that sells them so I'll be stopping by soon to pick some up!

Spreading the news
Sat., Dec. 29, 2012, midnight
Social media give traditional media outlets like The Spokesman-Review new insights into what readers are interested in, what they're talking to others about. We can and do track which stories or other content are shared and liked on Facebook and Twitter.
The information isn't precise. We know that many of our readers don't use social media, for example, and our staff shares just a small percentage of our daily content on those platforms.
But it's still interesting, and often illuminating, to see what readers like. Sometimes they pick up our biggest stories, the journalism we're most proud of, like Becky Kramer and Kathy Plonka's look at the boomtown economy of North Dakota. Breaking news stories typically get a lot of attention on social media as well, such as the shooting of two Spokane County Sheriff's deputies last June.
Because it was an election year, many of the most popular stories on social media concerned political matters – so many that we've broken those out into a separate list.
But sometimes, readers like and share items we wouldn't have expected, such as a letter to the editor praising local law enforcement for the kindness of notifying a homeowner that his garage door was open. Or a wire-service story about a hero dog.
We can learn lessons from that information.
Here are the stories and blog posts that readers responded to in 2012, measured by the total number of likes and shares on Facebook and compiled by Ryan Pitts, senior editor for digital media.

Emma Donoghue, author of the novel-turned-Oscar-nominated-film Room, has a new novel coming out later this year. The Wonder is set in 1850s rural Ireland. It revolves around an 11-year-old girl named Anna, who will not eat but seemingly cannot die, and an English nurse named Lib, who must find out if Anna is a fraud.
Donoghue, who has written nine novels including Room, Frog Music and Landing, is excited to be returning to Ireland for The Wonder. Donoghue was born in Ireland, but now lives in Canada. She calls the publishing experience "my return to my homeland" in a statement.
The publication of The Wonder is not the only big event happening for Donoghue in 2016. Room, the film, is nominated for four Academy Awards, including a nod for Donoghue herself: Best Adapted Screenplay. The Academy Awards take place on February 28, 2016.
The Wonder will be available in September 2016. Until then, tide yourself over with an excerpt from the book below!
to suckle an infant
to bring up a child
to take care of the sick
The journey was no worse than she expected. A train from London to Liverpool; the steam packet overnight to Dublin; a slow Sunday train west to a town called Athlone.
A driver was waiting. "Mrs. Wright?"
Lib had known many Irishmen, soldiers. But that was some years ago, so her ear strained now to make out the driver's accent.
He carried her trunk to what he called the jaunting car. An Irish misnomer; nothing jaunty about this bare cart. Lib settled herself on the single bench down the middle, her boots hanging closer to the right-hand wheel than she liked. She put up her steel-frame umbrella against the drizzle. This was better than the stuffy train, at least.
On the other side of the bench, slouching so his back almost touched hers, the driver flicked his whip. "Go on, now!"
The shaggy pony stirred.
The few people on the macadamised road out of Athlone seemed wan, which Lib attributed to the infamous diet of potatoes and little else. Perhaps that was responsible for the driver's missing teeth too.
He made some remark about the dead.
"I beg your pardon?"
"The dead centre, ma'am."
Lib waited, braced against the juddering of the cart.
He pointed down. "We're in the exact middle of the country here."
Flat fields striped with dark foliage. Sheets of reddish-brown peat; wasn't bog land known to harbour disease? The occasional grey remains of a cottage, almost greened over. Nothing that struck Lib as picturesque. Clearly the Irish Midlands were a depression where wet pooled, the little circle in a saucer.
The jaunting car turned off the road onto a narrower gravel way. The pattering on her umbrella's canvas became a continuous thrum. Windowless cabins; Lib imagined a family with its animals in each, huddling in out of the rain.
At intervals a lane led off towards a jumble of roofs that probably constituted a village. But never the right village, evidently. Lib should have asked the driver how long the journey was likely to take. She didn't put the question to him now in case the answer was, Still a long time yet.
All Matron at the Hospital had said was that an experienced nurse was required for two weeks, in a private capacity. The costs of keep and travel to and from Ireland to be furnished, as well as a daily consideration. Lib knew nothing about the O'Donnells except that they had to be a family of means if they were worldly enough to send all the way to England for a better class of nurse. It occurred to her only now to wonder how they could know that the patient would need her services for no more nor less than a fortnight. Perhaps Lib was a temporary replacement for another nurse.
In any case, she'd be quite well paid for her trouble, and the novelty of the thing held some interest. At the Hospital, Lib's training was resented as much as it was appreciated, and only the more basic of her skills were required: feeding, changing dressings, bed-making.

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

"This is absolutely stunning! I love it. I love vintage China and this is one way to display it. For my own personal taste I would use less pieces in the back, or even paint the background to make it pop more, and use the broken pieces on,y around the border as a type of frame. But that's just me. Alternatively, using less cups and just feature a ew with the broken pieces may set them off better. But all in all this is a great idea and display! Love it!"

Taking an aspirin a day to ward off heart attacks is ineffective for the "worried well" and can cause serious harm, a study has shown.
The finding challenges calls for people over 50 to be prescribed aspirin as a matter of course because of its blood-thinning properties. It was found that instead of bringing about a significant reduction in heart attacks, a daily dose of aspirin increased the risk bleeding in the stomach.
Professor Gerry Fowkes, presented the University of Edinburgh research at the European Society of Cardiology congress in Barcelona, where more than 30,000 heart specialists from around the world gathered.
He said: "Our research suggests that aspirin should not be prescribed to the general population, although it does have benefits for people with established heart disease or other conditions." At least six previous studies have indicated that frequent doses of aspirin could lower the risk of heart attacks and have prompted many of the "worried well" to take the pills.
The Edinburgh trial looked at 3,350 patients aged 50 to 75 who were thought to be at risk of heart disease but had not showed any symptoms. Over eight years, 181 of those taking aspirin on a daily basis had heart attacks or strokes compared to 176 who were taking placbos.
Moreover, 2 per cent on aspirin were taken to hospital with gastro-intenstinal haemorrhages compared to 1.2 per cent of those taking placebos.
Professor Peter Weissberg, medical director of the British Heart Foundation, said aspirin has known benefits but there are dangers.
He said: "Because it's been around a long time people think "it must be safe and it can't do me any harm".
"They are taking it "just in case" but it's much more dangerous than some other drugs which people get concerned about, like statins.'

Tarot Cards
Ten of Pentacles
This tarot card is the card of team-inspired achievement. Along our path towards our goal, we have been supported by loyalists, who have made our dreams their own. Their vision has blended with ours, and it requires empathy and diplomacy to acknowledge their contribution, while maintaining our leadership. This card signifies a time when we need to shed the old and don the new, a time when we realize that we are holding onto something that we can no longer add value to. We need to take a long, hard look at our loyalties, our motives, and at what we seek from life.
The biggest chunk of the Tarot deck, 56 of the 78 cards, comprise the Minor Arcana. 40 cards out of these fall exclusively under the Minor Arcana, while the other 16 also form a part of the Royal Arcana or Court Cards. If the Major Arcana can be said to convey the big picture, the Minor Arcana signifies the specifics in the life of a person. It is divided into four parts: The Suit of Swords signifies the realm of the mind and intellect, our decisions and insights. The Suit of Cups has to do with the things of the heart, things we love and care about. The Suit of Wands represents our power and life energy as applied to the situations and events we face in life. And lastly, the Suit of Pentacles represent our labours and the rewards we gain from them.

I sream and hit the ground in a tumble. Everyone turns and I stare a Sparks whose standing in front of me. Protecting me from his brother.
"She's not worth it Spark" He hisses.
"Oh no" I hear the twins mutter.
"I decide whose worth it Thunder" Spark says calmly. I jump to my feet and watch Thunder glare at me.
"So he's back" Millie says. "Spoil sport" finishes Lillie.
"Who is he?" Everyone shouts.
"He's Sparks brother" Lillie says.
Then Millie says "But he doesn't like Olli" I step forward and Spark flicks a look at me that makes me stop.
Thunder hisses something to Sparks then strides out the room leaving silence in his place. Sparks turns to me and pull me into a hug. It's only then I realize I'm crying.
