Manchester United winger Nani was rumoured to be in for a surprise return ahead of Manchester United crucial Champions League last-16 second leg against Olympiakos, but a picture soon emerged of the Portuguese ten pin bowling just two hours before kick-off at Old Trafford.
Needing to overturn a 2-0 defeat when they travelled to Athens last month, United were up against it in a bid to save their season from a complete collapse. But with Ryan Giggs inspiring a Robin van Persie hat-trick, David Moyes' side ensured their name will be in the hat for the quarter-final draw on Friday morning.
However, where was Nani? Talk of a return proved false, and he was soon snapped at the All Star Lanes bowling alley in Deansgate at 5.45pm with one lucky fan giving the thumbs up.
The winger did make it to Old Trafford for the match, where he was seen in complete United tracksuit alongside the ineligible Juan Mata in the Champions Club at half-time.

Manchester United 3 Olympiakos 0 - Player Ratings
1/11 David de Gea 9
Made a number of key and quality saves throughout the game and was vital in seeing United through. A fantastic double save on the half hour mark was probably the pick the stops but made several others just as important. Good distribution and decision making in a commanding performance
2/11 Patrice Evra 7
Good all round shift from full-back in both a defensive and attacking sense. Drew a good save from the Olympiakos keeper from header following a corner and had another, more tame, effort soon after. Steady at the back and dealt well when the away side started to get on top late on. Booked for high boot on Nelson Valdez and will miss next game
3/11 Rio Ferdinand 7
Dealt well with everything in the air and looked very composed on the ball. Rode luck at times when Olympiakos gained the upper hand in the second half but continued to snuff out any attacks. Booked for bust up late on
4/11 Phil Jones 6
Played well but was a touch suspect against the trickery of Joel Campbell at times. Put in several brave headers in a whole hearted display though and was strong at the back when the pressure was put on in the second half
5/11 Rafael 7
Linked up well with Valencia down the wing and was a threat overlapping from full back. Was steady and watchful in defence and coped well with the pressure that Olympiakos put United under in the second half
6/11 Michael Carrick 7
Broke up everything that Olympiakos could muster for the first 70 minutes and was dogged and determined when the away side starting to get on top later in the game. Helped control the midfield alongside Giggs and showed great touch and composure. Booked for chopping down Hernán Pérez
7/11 Ryan Giggs 8
At 40 years and 110 days became the oldest outfield player to play in the Champions League knockout stages but rolled back the years in a superb display. Orchestrated things from midfield with a masterful passing display. Set up Rooney who hit the post and van Persie for the incident leading to the penalty and played a wonderful pass to release Rooney in the build up for the second goal
8/11 Antonio Valencia 7 (Young, 74)
Despite taking a heavy blow to the face early on and receiving a nasty looking shiner in doing so, continued to be a threat with his pace and power down the wing. Track back well all game and drew countless fouls with his trickery
9/11 Danny Welbeck 6 (Fletcher, 82)
Quieter going forward than his teammates but still a threat and never stopped running. Won the free kick for United's third and vital goal but was not in the game as much as he would have liked in an attacking sense
10/11 Wayne Rooney 9
Worked tirelessly all over the pitch, making tackles, winning back possession and playing all manner of passes on a great night's work. Hit the post with a good header and played a pin point cross for Van Persie's second goal. Looked hungry throughout and lead from the front for United and was unlucky to not get on the score sheet himself
11/11 Robin Van Persie 9 (Fellaini, 90)
His fantastic free kick completely wrong footed Jiménez Gago in the Olympiakos goal to earn his first Champions League hat trick of his career. Won and scored the penalty to settle United nerves and get that all important first goal and finished neatly for his second. Held the ball up well and was a constant threat throughout the game. Vital performance of real class just when United needed him most
Nani has suffered a major downfall at United from his original promise of being the immediate successor to Cristiano Ronaldo, when the current Ballon d'Or holder completed his £80m move to Real Madrid.
But poor form and a string of injuries have severely hampered his time with the club, and his red card in last season's Champions League exit to the Spaniards appeared to signal the beginning of the end for the 27-year-old. Somewhat surprisingly, he signed a new five-year contract after Moyes' arrival at the club, but he has not played since December 7 after suffering a hamstring injury having seen his opportunities before the blow significantly limited.
Having made just six appearances during Moyes' tenure, the winger has been hauled off during the match five times, and with other options available out wide in the form of Antonio Valencia, Ashley Young, Juan Mata, Wayne Rooney and breakthrough talent Adnan Januzaj, Nani has plummeted down the pecking order.
Nani has since become the butt of a joke made by satirical United fanzine Red Issue, with a missing persons poster that read: "MISSING. Have you seen this imposter? Luís Carlos Almeida da Cunha (Known locally as the poor man's Ronaldo). Last seen in December in the Manchester area. Mysteriously disappeared after pocketing a five-year, £30million contract. Not dangerous, can be easily tackled."
The five-year contract extension was met by United fans with bemusement, given that his old deal was due to expire this summer and he was widely expected to leave the club. However, despite proving largely inconsistent – ranging from the sublime to the farcical – Moyes was said to have been impressed with his demeanour in pre-season, leading to the new bumper contract, but his absence ever since has fans concerned with the decision to tie him down to such a long-term deal.

Serving Comal County and surrounding areas for more than 144 years B Home of LORINE STARTZ ^ECrowixgPaixs 0 Vol. 144, No. 8 This newspaper is printed on recycled newsprint Herald-Z&tung photo by MICHAEL DARNALL Teacher Debbie Wilke teaches her class at Comal Elementary School in what used to be a book room. Now it Is a book room, an office and a classroom. Growth puts strain on Bill Brown Elementary By MELANIE GERIK Staff Writer The principal's office used to belong to his secretary. His office now is a teacher workroom filled with staplers, paper and copy machines. Students now have class in the old teacher workroom. Computers are spread across the school instead of in one contrail zed lab. A few computers are grouped together in a room that used to store textbooks. But Tripp Presley, principal at Bill Brown Elementary School in Spring Branch, said he thinks that probably the most inconvenient rearrangement is the teacher's lounge. Air conditioning ducts hang low from the ceiling, and the floor is hard cement, not covered by linoleum tile or carpet. Teachers must climb a steep flight of stairs into an attic storage area during their breaks. 'i'm afraid I'm going to lose one of my teachers on these stairs one day," Presley said. Bill Brown Elementary, like many of the schools in the Comal Independent School District, is teaching more students than it was meant to handle. The school was almost full when it opened in 1991, and enrollment on Od. 4 was 917 students, 118 more than the school's 799 capacity. Even with 250 students moving from the school next year to the three mw fifth and sixth grade campuses, Presley said he expects the school to operate under capacity only for a short amount of time. "What (the opening of the new schools) will do is give us an opportunity, at least for a year or so, to use this facility the way it was intended," Presley said. Along with the rest of the district, the school will grow by IO to 16 percent each year at least until 2000. Bill Brown Elementary enrollment may reach the same number of students as Special Report before the change as soon as three years after the fifth and sixth graders are no longer on campus. "It's real hard to put a value on the effects of overcrowding, but it certainly is a factor," Presley said. "It just taxes everyone." PwtsM# pf^Maiiu In addition to the 13 make-shift classrooms, work rooms, offices and lounge, six fifth- and sixth-grade classrooms have been held in portable buildings for the past two years. Vivian Andrews-Buike, who teaches social studies, reading and language arts to sixth graders in a portable building, said her room, usually filled with 25 students, is too crowded for students to do many activities of cooperative education. Instead of straight lectures, Andrew-Burke said she tries to incorporate learning centers in her lessons, but it is "next to impossible" to use the centers everyday in her portable classroom "You don't get a feeling of moving around, being able to lie on the floor," she said. "There's really no room in this room to go and work and not to distract other people." Nowhft to put tools of tho trade' Storage is also a problem for both students and teachers in the portables. Instead of lockers like students in the main building, students must keep all their supplies at their desks. They have no cubbyholes to store any extra supplies. Teachers also must carry their "tools of the trade" from home to school each day, said Kenn Sutton, a multi-age classroom teacher for fifth and sixth graders in the portables. Except for a few metal cupboards and shelves, the teachers do not have any storage space. There s just so many of them ...

It just taxes everyone.' — Tripp Presley Insufficient restrooms Sutton said the students in the portables must walk at least IOO yards to the nearest restrooms. The students do not have a covered walkway, and get cold and wet on bad-weather days. Sutton added the nearest restrooms have only two boys' stalls and four girls'. Restroom breaks for his entire class of 50 are unfeasible, so students must go to the restroom during class time. "But then you have big kids running around unsupervised," he said. The excess students have put a strain on the restrooms and other core facilities such as the cafetena and libraiy, Presley said "Kids wait in lines, a lot of time is wasted," he said. "Keeping (the restrooms) clean and sanitary is a major problem." The school has expanded the main sewer line twice in its five years, Presley said. 'Next North East' Presley said he expects the growth to continue from the metropolitan San Antonio area into the Comal district area. "We're the next North East school district," he said. In the Cypress Springs subdivision, more than 600 lots have been sold. "That's a whole school right there," Presley said. Sutton also said he expects "a big bunch of kids" to enter his class after Christmas when families move into their finished homes in the Cypress Springs and other subdivisions such as Timberwood Park. SOURCES EnroMmvnt Statistic*. Oct 4, IMS; D*m 0. Ham* and Associate's Report Jan 7. 1994 Students are learning in closets, on stages or in portables instead of traditional classrooms. Administrators have moved into smaller offices. Hie Comal Independent School District is building four new schools to hold the students who keeping moving into the district. Enrollment numbers have grown by more than 3,000 students in five years, almost a third of the district's enrollment for the 1989-90 school year. The district is one and a half years ahead of projected enrollment figures, with October enrollment at 8,602 students. Jerry Major, superintendent of Comal ISD, said he expects the district to have an enrollment of 10,000 students by the beginning of the 1997-98 school year. 'Buying them up like crazy' The Smithson Valley area on the Highway 281 corridor is experiencing an influx of families moving from San Antonio into the country. The district is growing by 13 percent in this area instead of the district-wide IO percent growth, Major said. "These folks are looking for a little bit of land and a little bit of space, and they can find it in Comal County," Major said. David Gale, a sales representanve of Timberwood Park, a subdivision on the Comal/Bexar Counties border, said his subdivision has led Bexar County m new building starts for the past two years. He said more and more families are moving into the Comal ISD area because of the proximity of San Antonio without the big-city hassles. The buyers in the area "want to move out of San Antonio but they still want to be close to the shopping centers and other things in the city." Gale said people are buying the homes priced from $130,000 to $300,000 "like crazy." He added 20 to 30 homes are being built right now. "You can dnve down any street and see someone building a home," he said. Bond issues used to combat growth problems While the number of students enrolled in Comal ISD is not as high as many other school districts around the state, the projected growth mirrors that of some of the state's largest districts. To deal with the growth, most have opted for bond issues. Victor Garcia, a spokesman for the North East Independent School District, which borders Comal, said both districts are growing so fast it makes it hard to project future enrollments with any sense of accuracy. North East patrons recently passed a $147.4 million bond issue, which will finance two elementary, one middle and one high school in the area near Comal. Although the North East bond election should give the district some space, Garcia said the new schools will not permanently solve overcrowding problems. "It will alleviate some enrollment pressures, but not for long," Garcia said. The district now has 44,077 students. Enrollment probably will reach 50,000 by the year 2001, Garcia said. *Playivtg catch up' If the $370 million bond issue proposal by the Austin ISD passes in the spring, it would be the largest in Texas history. The bond issue would fund six new elementary, two middle and one high schools, renovations and expansions on existing campuses, and a technology infrastructure to link all classrooms to the same computer network. In the 1980s, voters rejected bond issues that would have kept the district on track for renovations to the build- Special Report ings and for future growth, said Mel Waxier, chairman of the Austin Independent School District Citizens Bond Advisory Committee. "We're playing catch-up at a time when we're experiencing historic growth," Waxier said. The district, which already has an enrollment of more than 70,000 students, is growing by 1,500 to 2,000 students each year, and Waxier said the current bond issue should solve the school district's current overcrowding problems until 2000. Waxier said he has suggested to the Austin trustees to font! a committee to look at growth trends and form long-range plans. The $350 million bond issue "won't be the last of it," Waxier said. Solutions for tho 21st Century Two Comal ISD bond issues in the last two years totaling more than $35 million have paid for a new middle school, three fifth-and-sixth grade schools and additions of classrooms to most of the existing campuses. Major said the bond elections should hold the students enrolled in the district for the next five years, but the question of what is the most feasible solution to overcrowding will linger into the next century. "There are a lot of ways to deal with overcrowding, but many would entail scheduling changes," said Glenn Greenwood, a spokesman forTHI Texas Education Agency. Going to school year-round Year-round, multi-track schools, a plan which was adopted grudgingly by the Comal Board of Trustees in the contingency plan if the bond had failed, have been tried by more than 55 school districts in the state, including the fast-growing Cypress—Fairbanks Independent School distnct outside Houston. "We can open a school now, but the day it's open, it's at capacity," said Donna Schrake, spokeswoman for Cypress-Fairbanks ISD. In January 1994, voters chose a $61.7 million bond issue with the stipulation of year-round schools over a $106 million bond with regular track schools. Since that time, Schrake said the year-round, multi-track schools "absolutely" have helped alleviate overcrowding situations, Schrake said. In multi-track schools, students are grouped into four blocks and attend classes in staggered schedules, using the buildings throughout the entire year. "You can accommodate one fourth more kids in year round," she said "That saves you building one more school." Comal Trustee Thomas Bruce, who has opposed the bond issues, said year-round school would work in Comal ISD if the option was offered on all grade levels. "When (administrators) put that choice out before the public, they did not do it on all levels," Bruce said "So the voters chose the lesser of the two evils when they passed the bond issue." But Greenwood from the TEA warned that year-round school sched uling is not for every district. "It's not necessarily a cure-all," he said. Down th# road' Major said the new schools should take the distnct through the year 2000. Then the district will look at other options, including building more schools, expanding current campuses and scheduling changes. "You've got to put students somewhere," he said. "We'll continue to look at those options down the road."For subscription or advertising information, call the Herald-Zeitung at 625-9144. ;

I am a seasoned and serious antique connoisseur. Living a hundred miles away I made the trip to Anderson to visit this vendor mall...not only was I completely surprised at the fact there are no antiques...just garage sale goods..(priced way too high), the few intersting things I did find I was not able to buy.
Want to know why? Because the customer service is HORRIBLE! These lazy people felt it was more important to clock out early then get a frame off the wall for me...seriously! 5 minutes till seven I am at checkout and decide I want one more item and they told me that I couldnt buy it...it was too late.
Now any place else you visit would be more than happy to stay open another 5 minutes to make a sale not here. The staff is unprofessional, and lazy at best.

A/N: thank you all soooo much for the reviews. As any writer, they make me very, very happy;D So, I hope you have fun with the next chapter.
I don't know when I can post the next one. Because, I'm about to move out from home and into another city. But I hope, that I can post the next chapter before that happens next week!!!!
But for now.....thanks to lauradaexplorer for beta reading!!........and now......have fun;D
When I woke up the next morning, I couldn't remember the last time that I slept so badly.
When I first woke up - in the middle of the night - I noticed, that someone had covered me up. Jethro. A few hours ago I would have been greatful for that, but now my body felt like it was on fire. So I pulled the blanket off and closed my eyes.
It wasn't long before I fell asleep again and when I woke up the next time I was freezing. My teeth were chattering and my whole body was trembling. My hands were shaking so much that I needed two attempts at grabbing the blanket to cover me again. This went on for the rest of the night.
Now I was on my way downstairs to the kitchen, it was more difficult than it should have been. Perhaps it was because I felt cold, even though I was sweating profusely. My shoulder throbbed almost unbearably, and the wound burned a little around the stitches. On top of the gunshot would my head felt as if it had swollen to twice its size and my stomach was rebelling. The latter was not a particularly bad thing, since because of my sore throat I could hardly swallow a thing anyway.
I had already changed my clothes and now wore gray jogging pants and my blue Ohio State T-shirt. It was already 10:00 and I was glad, that Jethro was at the office. It meant I had at least a few hours to myself. I couldn't simply avoid him today, I had to talk to him. On the one hand, I was quite happy about it, because I hated to fight with Jethro because it meant that I couldn't sit in the basement and watch him while he worked, with deft fingers, on his boat. I hated it when I couldn't talk to him an watch him, while he looked at the floor so I couldn't see his beautiful smile. I hated not being able to feel how he lay in bed next to me and wrapped his arms around me. I hated not being able to feel his heartbeat, while my head rested on his chest. I had spent only one night without him and already missed his hand when it softly slid over my arm. Or the little kisses he pressed in my neck. But, despite everything, I would like to have the conversation on another day.
I had a lot of time to think about the last few days. Ziva definitely had her reasons not to invite me. Sure I acted like usual, so I acted like a childish, narcissistic idiot who can't do his job properly. But maybe this was the problem. Most people didn't know what I really could do and underestimated me. My skills had saved my life several times. But with my colleagues they didn't help much.
I probably wouldn't have invited me either. Also since I was usually the one who picks on everyone, I shouldn't be surprised about the payback now.
And so my choice was made. I had to stop acting like an idiot and show the others that I too took my job seriously.
But this idea has been pushed to a back corner of my mind when I arrived in the kitchen and noticed that it was not as empty as I thought. In the middle of the kitchen against the counter, stood Jethro, who had just made a sandwich "I heard that you had woken up and thought I would make breakfast," he said, and gave me one of his beautiful smiles.
But I couldn't respond to that, because I was far to surprised that he was home "What are you doing here? Why aren't you at the office?"
"I had a few days leave left,"was all he responded, before he took the plate that he had and brought it to the dining room next door. I stared after him for a few seconds before I followed him and sat down at the table. Gibbs let himself down on the chair opposite me and looked at me intently "You okay? You look a little pale."
"I'm fine," I lied, trying not to inhale the scent of the sandwiches too much, because I had the fear I would throw up otherwise. Jethro had made my favorite sandwich, but in my current condition I would have probably vomited at the smell of pizza.
I didn't understand the situation. A few minutes ago I was sure that Jethro was mad at me, because I acted like a five year old last night. But he never took a day off, particularly when he was mad at me. He would have driven in extra early. But instead he was now sitting here with me at the table and had even made me breakfast. This does not exactly looked like an angry lover.
I knew that Gibbs felt guilty, but never thought it was this bad.
"Hey, you can eat it, you know," he suddenly said and only now I realized that I had been staring at my sandwich the whole time. When the smell hit me I pushed the plate away "I'm not hungry."
Jethro looked at me momentarily worried, but said nothing. Instead I spoke shortly after "I think we should talk."
But to my suprise, Gibbs shook his head. I tried to read something in his eyes. Because even if his expression was neutral, you could often see what he really thought in his eyes. But I could see nothing except sadness and that confused me even more.
"I should talk, and you should just listen," he answered, which surprised me again. It was widely known that Leroy Jethro Gibbs was not a big talker.
"I'm sorry, Tony."
I knew that I just stared at him like a complete idiot, but I didn't care. I could have laughed. For the first time since I met the man, I heard him apologize. He apologized. To me.
At the same time I could have started to cry, because I didn't have a tape to capture this unique moment "I thought apologizing is a sign of weakness?", I finally said.
Jethro only smiled sadly "Not in a situation like this", he said, "I screwed up really badly this time and I hurt you. That was never my intention."
So it was not his intention. Yet he had done and that brought me to my main question "Why? When it wasn't your intention, why did you do it? You knew that I didn't think it was very funny and that the approval of my colleagues is impotant to me!"
Jethro rubbed a hand over his face "I don't know."
I laughed without humor. I was tired, I was cold, and every single bone and muscle in my body seemed to ache. In short, I was annoyed "You don't know. Well, then everything's ok," I said bitterly "DiNozzo was just an easy target and the others had so much fun rubbing it in his face that everyone but him was invited to Ziva's dinner, why not you too!?" I would have liked to jump up and storm out of the room. But I feared that I would simply fall over and that was the last thing I needed. I didn't know why I was this mad. I thought I had calmed down overnight. But as I sat here now in the dining room and talked to Jethro, all the emotions from last night came to the surface.
But I wasn't the only one who was mad. Gibbs had his hands clenched into fists so tightly that his knuckles were white. I couldn't see his face because he had bowed his head to the table. He tried to calm himself and control his breathing. But in the next moment the outbreak came. Even if I was ready for it, I still flinched as Jethro suddenly jumped up and tipped his chair over. He came around the table and went into a crouch in front of me after I turned in his direction.
"Tony. ..," he said, stressing each word, while he looked me straight in the eye. I could see that he meant it sincerely. But before I could say something, he went on already. "I do not know why I did it. You and Ziva, you were gone all day. There was scarcely a trace, no one had seen or heard anything from you or about that damn container."
Gibbs took a deep breath an put his hands on my knees. I didn't know why, but his touch felt more than good.
"Ducky, Abby and McGee were constantly asking if we will find you and you know what? I could'nt answer them." Jethro sounded very sad and I suddenly felt the urge to take him in my arms. But I suppressed it. Firstly because I knew that a hug was not what Jethro needed now. And secondly, he wasn't finished.
"I can't tell you how relieved I was to hear your voice on the phone. And then we had finally found you, but you were injured." He brushed again with a hand over his face before he put it back on my knee.
"When you sat all together in the office, laughing....I don't know what has prompted me suddenly. I think I just had to drain the pressure that had been built throughout the day. But it was never my intention, and anything but fair, to use you for it. I love you, Tony, and I'm sorry!"
I couldn't suppress a smile any longer. In my whole life I had never received such a beautiful and above all honest apology "Now you apologized for the second time and I have no tape."
Jethro gave a short laugh and it was like music to my ears. I loved his laugh and just couldn't hear often it enough. But the next second he was again serious "I mean it."
"I know," I said "but I should apologize to you too. I acted like a child an...." I couldn't say more because Jethro laid a finger on my lips, shaking his head "No, you had every right in the world, to react like you did, ok?"
I didn't know what to respond and just nodded. I saw the whole thing a little differently, but had no desire, and above all, no power now to discuss it with him.
Gibbs smiled briefly before he patted my knee and got up. His knee cracked and I laughed as he muttered "Damn, I'm getting to old for that."
I fell silent again, as Jethro leaned down to me and pressed his soft lips on mine. I had closed my eyes already, as two seconds later it was over already. When I now opened, I looked directly into Gibbs' anxious eyes. He had a hand on my shoulder, while he laid the other on my forehead. "Tony, you're quite warm."
I rolled my eyes "Oh, it's nothing. I'm fine," I said. But since I didn't even try to remove his hand from my forehead, Gibbs also knew that I was lying. Normally I would have tried to, but Jethro's cool hand on my too warm skin just felt too good. I couldn't help myself and leaned my head a little further into the touch.
And that was apparently all what Gibbs needed "Ok, that's enough,", he said "You go back to bed an I'll call Ducky."
"Jeth, I'm fine!", I sighed.
Gibbs took a deep breath. I knew that he was just worried and he was slowly losing patience with me. It was not the first time we had been in this situation "You're not fine. You were shot yesterday and have been sitting outside in the cold for about half an hour. Without a jacket!" And before I could respond, he took my hand, pulled me to my feet and dragged me upstairs. I was too tired to defend myself.
When we arrived in our bedroom, I went willingly to bed, which seemed to worry Gibbs even more. But right now I couldn't bring myself to keep my mask on. I was already aware that I had a cold, but I was also sure that this was not the reason why I was so exhausted at the moment.
Meanwhile Jethro had taken the thermometer taken from his bedside table. It was one of those newfangled things that you just stuck in your ear.
Gibbs had bought it shortly after I had the plague, and it has since kept in the top drawer of his bedside table. As a precaution, he said. But I knew it was for his reassurance. The doctors had frightened him when they told him that the plague had scarred my lungs and therefore I had to be careful. Even a cold could be dangerous for me.
A little exaggerated, as I found, but Jethro took it very seriously even today. "101" Gibbs said, suddenly "I'm calling Ducky."
Before I could say anything, he had the phone alredy to his ear. Anyway, I had no intention of argueing with him about it. I also wanted to know what was wrong with me. The throbbing and burning in my shoulder just gotten worse in the last hour.
I had a bad feeling about it. But I had to wait till Ducky came over. So I closed my eyes and just a few seconds later I was asleep.
A/N: I hope you liked it!? See ya next chap;D

The Master and Margarita

März 1992
BeschreibungLong suppressed in its native land, this account of strange doings in Moscow in the 1930s provides us with the essence of the sceptical, trenchant, unadulterated voice of dissent.
PortraitMikhail Bulgakov (1891 - 1940) was born and educated in Kiev where he graduated as a doctor in 1916, but gave up the practice of medicine in 1920 to devote himself to literature. In 1925 he completed the satirical novella The Heart of a Dog, which remained unpublished in the Soviet Union until 1987. This was one of the many defeats he was to suffer at the hands of his censors. By 1930 Bulgakov had become so frustrated by the political atmosphere and the suppression of his works that he wrote to Stalin begging to be allowed to emigrate if he was not to be given the opportunity to make his living as a writer in the USSR. Stalin telephoned him personally and offered to arrange a job for him at the Moscow Arts Theatre instead. In 1938, a year before contracting a fatal illness, he completed his prose masterpiece, The Master and Margarita. He died in 1940. In 1966-7, thanks to the persistance of his widow, the novel made a first, incomplete, appearance in Moskva, and in 1973 appeared in full.

REVIEW: Swallows And Amazons
The latest adaptation of Arthur Ransome's children's classic, Swallows and Amazons, is hitting the big screen...
Swallows and Amazons, the much-loved story of the Walker children and their sailing adventures in the Lake District, was originally set in 1929 but this latest adaptation shifts the action to 1935.
This appears to be so that the screenwriter can introduce a new subplot complete with chase scenes, secret agents and Russian spies. It does add excitement for a modern audience, though it all feels a bit The 39 Steps. Fortunately, it doesn't take away from the charm of the original story.
The Walker children – John, Susan, Tatty (understandably not Titty, as per the original story) and Roger – are on their summer holidays with their mum. Their dad is away with the Navy commanding a destroyer in the South China Seas. In fact, it's the lack of present father figures in the film that in many ways drives the film's action.
The main story roughly follows the arc of the original book. The children decide they want to sail across a lake in a small dinghy called The Swallow and camp on an island on their own. It's John, the eldest of the children, who has to convince their mother he is ready for the responsibility of looking after his younger siblings
John sometimes fails to live up to his new role as the father figure and unfairly blames his younger siblings. But over the film, he learns the responsibility of rapidly approaching adulthood. His mother, too, learns John has grown and can be trusted with on new challenges.
After sailing to the island and spending a night there, the Walker children come face to face with the Blackett girls (who also don't have a father present, though we're not told why). The tomboyish Blacketts have sailed across the lake in their boat, The Amazon, and claim the island as theirs.
The Walkers and the Blacketts take an instant dislike to each other and, to settle scores, agree to try to capture each other's boat. The winner will keep the other's dinghy and claim ownership of the island. It's a challenge during which they gain new-found respect for each other and build a deep friendship.
Of, course, the new subplot of secret agents and Soviet spies gatecrashes the children's idyllic world – but that's nothing an exciting action sequence with sailing boats and a seaplane can't solve.
As a dad or mum, the film makes one long for the days when children were allowed to explore on their own without fear. There's no helicopter parenting on display here – children are allowed to fail, make mistakes and learn important life lessons without any interference from adults.
Admittedly, their worst scrapes would be enough to make most modern parents shriek with fear but, in this rose-tinted tale of the halcyon days of childhood, there's a real joy in seeing children just being free.
Ultimately, Swallows and Amazons is an enjoyable voyage through an idealised childhood of yesteryear. It's probably best suited to children below the age of 12 – and anyone who enjoys messing around on boats.
Swallows and Amazons opens in cinemas nationwide on August 19, Cert: U

Kuwait May See $53 Billion Surplus on Spending Fall: NBKFiona MacDonald
Kuwait may post a budget surplus of as much as 15.2 billion dinars ($53.4 billion) in the fiscal year that ended March 31, with spending possibly 10 percent to 20 percent below the forecast, National Bank of Kuwait said.
Kuwait's 11-month provisional surplus of 18.8 billion dinars is "thanks partly to an unusual underspend in the large 'miscellaneous expenditures and transfers' segment," the country's biggest lender said in an e-mailed report today. Kuwaiti crude averaged $107 a barrel in the 2012-2013 fiscal year, NBK said.
Last year's budget projected spending of 21.2 billion dinars and revenue of 13.9 billion dinars. The government said it will raise revenue allocations to its Future Generations Fund wealth fund this fiscal year to 25 percent from 10 percent to "encourage saving."
An oil price of between $101 and $105 per barrel in the current fiscal year "could generate a budget surplus for Kuwait of between 8 billion and 12 billion dinars," the bank said.
Kuwait, OPEC's fourth-biggest producer, posted a record budget surplus of 13.2 billion dinars in the 2011-2012 fiscal year as oil prices and output rose.

(NYSE: ACT) today confirmed that it has filed an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seeking approval to market Lacosamide Tablets. 50 mg, 100 mg, 150 mg and 200 mg.

Jennifer Kostick– Jennifer has been married for twenty-three years to her high school sweetheart, Paul. She is the mother of three children, Paul IV (22), Samuel (6), and Grace (6). She also has six babies residing in heaven. It is those six tiny souls who have propelled her into women's ministry. She is a conference speaker and author of the book Nothing to Hold but Hope (one woman's journey through miscarriage, stillbirth, and infertility). Jennifer blogs at www.Jenniferkostick.com and is passionate about encouraging women through a godly message of mercy and hope.
This morning, after sending my kids to school, I noticed I was out of coffee cream. Lord knows coffee helps set the tone of my day, and so at that moment I determined the only time it's acceptable for me to leave the house with printed yoga pants and a shirt that doesn't completely cover the bottom half, is in a coffee emergency. Off I went racing to the store with no makeup, disheveled hair, and my yoga attire.
To give you a little more insight into my morning, I have to share that, yesterday, I went from classroom to classroom with rhythm sticks and hip hop music as I worked with each grouping of students on understanding rhythms. This body jiggled itself into needing a serious dose of ibuprofen. I'm moving slowly today.
On the way home from the store, I noticed a teenage girl waiting to catch the school bus. She was drop dead gorgeous! I almost couldn't take my eyes off her youth and the fact that if she were to dance to hip hop beats all day while tapping out rhythms, her body wouldn't dare remind her of such efforts. This is what's lovely in the story of seventeen. Meanwhile, I'm feeling the out of shape story of forty-three. Ouch and ticktock!
To be honest, I felt envious for about half a second. And then I remembered this…
The silver-haired head is a crown of glory,
If it is found in the way of righteousness.
-Proverbs 16:31
To be honest, I think many of us have forgotten the truth in those words. I know I have. To move this nugget of wisdom from antiquity to modernity, I will say I probably spend more time than I should in a salon chair keeping up on my roots. With that in mind, this scripture is more about the heart.
We tend to live fearful of inevitable wrinkles and silver hair. Like most women, I spend each morning primping in front of a giant piece of glass which refuses to lie. It even uses my body to teach me science lessons on the subject gravity! But here's the thing: the older I get, the better I am at living the life I was born to live. I wouldn't trade who I am now for all the taut skin youth can offer.
Even though I know I can always make better choices and stand stronger in my calling, I'm okay with who I am and will continue to live a life pursuing the things of God.
I don't know if I'll ever truly embrace the lines taking up permanent residence around my eyes. I don't know if I'll ever stop coloring my hair, or wishing I was perfectly petite with bosoms in perfect position, but I do know what really matters:
Even to your old age, I am He,
And even to gray hairs I will carry you!
I have made, and I will bear;
Even I will carry, and will deliver you.
-Isaiah 46:4
The same God who heard my prayers when I was a little girl with scraped knees, the same God who wiped my tears when I was a brokenhearted teenager, and the same God who picked me up as a young woman full of grief, is the very same God who will smile on my wrinkles and deliver joy with every gray hair to come. He will give strength in each moment and use my age to propel my gifts. And, friend, He will do the same for you!
One day, when I reach my eternal home, I will be delivered from the curse of aging and death, from sorrow and grief, and the joy I know now will be nothing compared to the Joy I will one day meet face-to-face.
And while I spend what I hope will be many more years walking this journey, I will continue to choose Jesus! And in choosing Him, I also choose wisdom and grace. I choose to use my years sharing hope to women who need someone. I choose to be a shoulder for tears, and a smile for sharing laughter. I choose to be a heart made to spill love, even over those who don't share the same mindset and ideas. By the way, age teaches that also. To realize not everyone thinks the way I do has been a blessing at times. There have been many days in which I have shouted yes and amen based on the uniqueness and differences of people. I still have a lot to learn, and I want to live with an open heart guided by the Holy Spirit, not my own ideas.
Learning to live our purpose in every phase of life can be exciting. Be encouraged, He will carry you!
What will you choose?

The Cayman Islands: A Guide for Hedge Fund Managers - .PDF file.
The Cayman Islands continue to be the preeminent offshore jurisdiction for hedge funds. Around 85% of the world's hedge funds are domiciled in the Cayman Islands, enabling the jurisdiction to outrank competing offshore centres (BVI, Bermuda and Jersey among them) as the top spot for hedge funds. This paper explains the attractions of the Cayman Islands as a destination for managers wanting to establish hedge funds offshore, and examines the commercial, legal and regulatory considerations that combine to make Cayman their preferred jurisdiction.
Hedge funds established in the Cayman Islands will typically take the form of a company, a limited partnership or (less commonly) a unit trust. If statutory segregation between assets and liabilities of sub-portfolios is desired, the SPC model will be attractive. Each of these vehicles can be used as a stand-alone fund, a fund of funds or as part of a master-feeder structure. Their managers need not be domiciled in the Cayman Islands. Generally, all open-ended funds established in Cayman will need to be registered with CIMA. A fund will be deemed open-ended if it issues "equity interests" (shares, partnership interests or units) that participate in the fund's profits and gains, and which are redeemable (or otherwise capable of being repurchased) at the investor's option. The reference to equity interests is important, because this excludes debt instruments (including warrants, convertibles and sukuk instruments); funds issuing such instruments will not be required to be registered with CIMA…

text: The glittery suits have been sent to Oxfam and the dance steps may now trouble them but, 33 years after New York's EWF began to dominate the more soulful end of 1970s funk and disco, the original line-up is reformed. They begin their (gulp) 23rd album as though they're a retro act - it takes 21 seconds for someone to urge "pardaaay people" to "get together" - but gradually this turns into a masterstroke as producers Jam and Lewis subtly update the band's classics to create bling generation appeal. Maurice White and Philip Bailey's honeyed harmonies never sounded better. Verdone White's rubbery bass underpins slices of 2005-vintage funk and soul. Illumination wobbles only when they attempt one trick too many (Liberation's dodgy rap) and when smoothness drifts into schmaltz. But these are minor quibbles amid an often storming return to form.

Chapter 13.4Mature
"Storm has told me part of the story."
"He will not tell you everything. He will only refuse if you ask about his daily visits to Sta Lera. Evil considers Storm to be his first child, and Lucius sees him as an elder brother. He is a part of our world that would be sorely missed, though he fails to see that." Fate's voice was filled with sincerity and a resigned sadness.
"You feel for him," Beth said. It wasn't a question whatsoever.
"He is a part of my family. Just as you would wish you could help your child."
Beth felt her hands automatically move to her belly, her arms folding around the growing child inside her.
"I cannot control your future because a higher power has chosen you. I cannot look into their plans for you, or your child. You are in their hands."
"I thought you were the higher power."
Fate smiled slightly. "I am simply a pawn, child; the hierarchy of the universe is endless."
Beth was silent for a while as she considered this.
"What do you know of my parents?" she asked eventually.
"Your parents? Well, Tau'ra was quite a character. Quite frankly, Fa'lea and I never got on. Nacra though... Daniel's daughter... She was amazing, in all regards."
"She still is."
"She's alive?"
Fate nodded once. "She's working as a mercenary for the elves at the moment."
"A mercenary?"
"She's always had great skill with a blade. As did Tau'ra, actually. And Daniel. Family trait, it would seem. We may need to test your ability."
"I'm sure that's not necessary."
Fate raised an eyebrow. Silently, she went over to the window. After a moment, Beth followed. The two were looking out to the back of the castle. There were quite a few women playing some sort of ball game. They'd traded their dresses for short tank tops and above the knee skirts.
"You see those females?" Fate asked.
"Not one of them wouldn't be able to handle herself in a fight, and that is because in this world you need to be able to take care of yourself. Just ask Isabella."
"So I need to learn how to fight?"
"It would be advisable."
"Who should I ask to teach me?"
"Lucius is a pacifist, Evil would rather talk tactics, Azra has no need for any of this, so that leaves you with Daniel or Storm. If I were you, I would approach Storm."
Fate turned and started for the door.
"Why Storm?" Beth asked.
Fate continued as if she hadn't heard, but stopped with her hand on the doorknob. She glanced over her shoulder.
"He takes no prisoners."
With that, she left.

Tilting the Balance towards Quality Infrastructure in Developing Countries
Posted by Taz Chaponda[1]
At a recent international conference[2] on "Quality infrastructure and the Multilateral Development Banks", the Director General of the Japanese Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI) issued a stark reminder of the potential costs of "poor" infrastructure. He cited the Kobe highway disaster, when in 1995 a major highway in Japan collapsed following an earthquake. The Director-General explained that the highway was built in a rush and the poor construction works resulted in its collapse several decades later. He went on to discuss the expansion of power generation in the country's early years of development through high-polluting plants that were subsequently phased out due to the negative impact on local populations.
Such examples remind us that even the richest nations went through a period of development where low quality infrastructure was pervasive, with very negative social and environmental consequences. Such issues are still common in many developing countries. This motivated the conference to explore what exactly is meant by "quality infrastructure". Do countries really need this type or level of infrastructure, and if so, how should it be procured and paid for?

text: Cambodians who fled Vietnamese invaders 25 years ago found in jungle PHNOM PENH (AFP) - Seven Cambodian families have been found living wild in remote jungle where they had been hiding since 1979 from Vietnamese troops who left the country 15 years ago. The 34 hill tribe people, who lived off birds, wild plants and wore clothes made of tree bark and leaves, had been out of touch with the outside world since fleeing invading Vietnamese forces. The group, which included 20 women, fled their homes as Vietnamese troops swept across the border and toppled the genocidal Khmer Rouge (news - web sites) regime of Pol Pot in 1979 and occupied Cambodia for the next decade. "They escaped the Vietnamese soldiers... and after that they received no information from our authorities or the Laotians," Pen Bunna of rights group Adhoc told AFP after meeting officials involved with the case. "They thought Vietnamese soldiers were still in charge of the area." The group included a couple of Khmer Rouge fighters and ranged from a baby aged only a few days old to a 55-year-old man, said officials. They have lived a nomadic life in a remote border area living in huts under the thick jungle canopy but many were found suffering from malaria and other diseases. They were only discovered when arrested earlier this month by Laotian officials after wandering across the border from Cambodia's northeastern Ratanakiri province. "They are like wild people, they know nothing," said Kham Khoeun, the governor of Ratanakiri, who collected them from Laotian authorities. "They have received no information from the country and the world. At first they were so frightened." They were wandering around an area known as Dragon's Tail, a wedge of land in Cambodia's northeast that borders Laos and Vietnam, known as the "wild east" and one of the most inaccessible parts of the country. Only three members of the group spoke the national language, Khmer. Hill tribes regularly move villages every few years and have little in common with mainstream Khmer life. They will be reunited with members of their families they left behind later this week, said Kham Khoeun. He said he encountered a similar group in 1996, rescuing nine hill tribe members but the rest fled.

Her current research explores the relationship between music, trauma, memory, and politics, especially with regard to the music of European totalitarian regimes. Current publications focus on the manner in which composers have imagined the Holocaust in musical works ranging from Arnold Schoenberg to Steve Reich. In addition to written scholarship, she has given pre-performance lectures with musical institutions such as the Los Angeles Opera, the Philadelphia Orchestra, and the Harrisburg Symphony Orchestra. At Dickinson, Professor Wlodarski teaches music history courses and conducts the Dickinson College Choir.

Adrenaline Rush
It swirls
And whirls.
Upside down
And around.
Never stopping
Gaining speed
The adrenaline inside of you
Runs energetically
Through your veins.
Impossible to contain,
The thrill
And excitement.
Then slows down
The adrenaline is gone
The ride has stopped and you slowly recover,
From the dizziness it has caused.

Originally posted on SteelerAddicts | Last updated 3/16/12
With the free agency period now well underway, the run on premier wide receivers seems to be over. The blood spilled however is still running and no one is paying more attention to it than Mike Wallace and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Calvin Johnson of the Detroit Lions received the biggest contract in wide receiver history this week when he signed for $132 million and a record $60 million guaranteed. Former Chargers' wideout Vincent Jackson is now a Tampa Bay Buccaneer after signing a 5-year $55 million deal with $26 million guaranteed. Even Laurent Robinson, formerly of Dallas , signed a 5-year $32 million dollar deal with $14 guaranteed with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Robinson isn't exactly a household name but still commanded some big-time money. What all this means for the Steelers and for Mike Wallace is that regardless of what happens in the upcoming 2012 season (where Wallace will earn $2.7 million) is that he quite possibly could have a huge windfall heading into 2013.

Interesting! I worked for YNP over the summer, and they truly so everything they can to minimize the accessibility of human food for bears.
Canisters definitely work! And the rangers are really on the ball about keeping people aware of food in car camping areas too.Mar 5, 2014 at 4:37 pm #2079869

My favorite cartoon like this, which I thought was a far side but haven't been able to find it anywhere since so maybe it was an "imitation far side", was one of a couple of bears sitting on a fallen log (and I think there is a campfire in front of them). The bears are eating something, and from the stuff around them it is clear they are eating campers. I remember one bear holding a leg or something, but that seems like it would have have been over the top for Gary Larson. If anyone recognizes this one, I'd love to be able to locate a copy. I think I saw this on a wall somewhere in a Yellowstone NP store.
Anyway, the bear with the leg says to the other bear, who is also eating something –
"Pass the pepper spray".Mar 5, 2014 at 9:59 pm #2079968

@rexLocale: Central California Coast
ANCHORAGE — It's not what backpackers and hikers want to hear–the pepper spray they count on to scare off bears may actually attract the big beasts, like catnip does cats.
Smith jumped from his observation post and sprayed the beach with repellent. Several bears approached the beach 40 times to paw and roll in the spray. "It's a 500-pound cat with a ball of catnip," Smith said.
Here's the best part:
"We've had some parents spray it on their children because it says 'bear repellent,' " Johnson said. The company has begun changing the wording on its packaging to "bear deterrent" instead of repellent.
And you thought your parents gave you a hard time!

I remember reading a "survival" manual that was supposedly based on the SAS curriculum. Its advice if you thought a predator was stalking you was to back away slowly while spraying the general vicinity with bear spray. Someone obviously didn't do his homework.Mar 5, 2014 at 10:12 pm #2079972

How do you tell the difference between a black bear and a grizzly?
Simple – just climb a tree
If the bear climbs up the tree, pulls you down and eats you its a black bear.
If the bear pulls the tree up by the roots, shakes you and then eats you its a grizzly.Mar 6, 2014 at 6:30 am #2080029

Woman's testimonial about the Beretta Jetfire .25 caliber pistol:
While out hiking in Alberta, Canada with my husband, we were surprised by a huge sow grizzly bear charging at us from out of nowhere. She must have been protecting her cubs because she was extremely aggressive and on us almost immediately. If I had not had my little Beretta Jetfire with me, I would not be here today!
Just one shot to my husband's knee cap was all it took. The bear got him, and I was able to escape by just walking away at a brisk pace. That little Beretta is one of the best pistols in my collection.Mar 6, 2014 at 9:56 am #2080096

Ha ha! Taking my wife on her first backpacking trip this summer. I'll leave her XD at home and not show her this story as there are some surly looking marmots where we're going and I don't want to give her any ideas.
