Eleanor wasn't really paying attention over the next hour or so. She was vaguely aware that Tenenbaum had found her, and she seemed to have been sitting next to her until a moment ago. She could still feel the warmth from where the older woman had been slowly seeping away. The only thing on her mind was the accursed helmet she held between her hands, and the implications that came with it.
After some measure of time had passed, Tenenbaum's warmth long gone and forgotten, Eleanor stood up. But as she did, something managed to catch her eye and bring her out of her shocked state. A little white piece of paper. What could that be doing in there? she wondered. It had clearly just fallen out of the helmet, but how would a Big Sister manage to get paper shoved in there?
She picked up the crinkled piece of paper, smoothing out some wrinkles and creases, and read the barely legible handwriting that adorned it.
To Eleanor and Tenenbaum,
Please don't follow me. Don't worry, they won't hurt me.
I'm not even sure if they can. I'll bring everyone back as
quickly as I can, I promise!
"I thought so."
Eleanor jumped, but before she could even think about defending herself, she'd already recognized the voice just behind her shoulder.
"Isn't that just like her, always rushing off on her own, thinking she's invincible?" Tenenbaum asked with a heavy sigh, plucking the message from Eleanor's hand. There was a certain amount of depression in Tenenbaum's voice that had Eleanor worried. It sounded as if she'd come to a decision she imagined that she might regret in the future, or perhaps the time to make that decision had come and gone long ago and something in the letter had sparked a memory.
Her gaze rested on the small porthole on the other side of the room, ribbons tied to the frame and what Eleanor imagined were drawings of the girls', their friends and their Big Daddies taped to the sides and the wall above. It faced back into the port, a few straggling flames from where a fire had been built inside of a trash can providing a momentary distraction.
The drawings brought a sense of nostalgia to her, brushing aside some of the events of the day and taking some of the tension from her shoulders. She'd just lost everything in the world, and yet, for some reason, Eleanor was feeling hopeful. It was a rarity for her. The last time that I felt hopeful... was when I brought father back to life. And before that... She couldn't even remember. Deciding to change the topic, at least the one she was thinking about, she asked the first question that came to mind.
"So what do you want to do after we get out of here?" It was something she'd never really thought about before. Did Tenenbaum have a life waiting for her back on the surface? "After looking for the Sisters for so long, you'll probably be completely lost, huh?" A smile graced her lips as Eleanor imagined what Tenenbaum might be like if she wasn't always so stressed out.
"Actually, there is something I want to do after I find them all, " Tenenbaum spoke with absolutely no emotion, positive nor negative. It was strange how she did that some times. It left a person of even Eleanor's psychiatric abilities completely in the dark as to what they were thinking.
"Like what exactly?" Eleanor asked. "Maybe show them some of the things they've missed from the surface? Animals, airplanes, things like that?" Tenenbaum remained silent, her eyes still fixed on the porthole, undoubtedly still searching for the tell tale signs of a neat little bow poking out from behind a pile of ruble or the flash of a golden eye.
But to simply stop talking, and allow herself to give into the will of Rapture, to slip into silence like everything else in the dead city, was simply too depressing an option for Eleanor to even consider. So she continued, hoping something would - could - spark a friendly conversation. One that wasn't so serious for once. "Maybe you'd like to tell the world about Rapture?" she mused. "Or reunite the Sisters' with their parents?"
It was subtle, but Eleanor still noticed. The way the wrinkles around the edges of her eyes deepened, the slight twitch of her hand nearly curling into a first, but catching herself in such a small amount of time most wouldn't have noticed. Instantly she knew she'd said something wrong.
"It's very late, Eleanor, " Tenenbaum said, standing abruptly. Her gaze that had been so unwavering was now jumping between Eleanor and the door to her room. "If we're going to be of any use to anyone tomorrow, we will need our rest. We'll talk more about this in the morning."
Eleanor knew a blow-off when she heard one, but she was much too preoccupied to care. Has Tenenbaum tried to reunite the Sisters' with their families before? she wondered. And, if so... What happened?
Dawn was fast approaching, but Eleanor knew she wouldn't be able to sleep. But in the place where no light could reach, what did a thing like dawn really matter, anyway?
The sound echoed in the small glass walkway connecting two of the underwater facilities. Alice wasn't even sure where she was anymore. She'd been following the scent so intently, she hadn't even paid any attention to her surroundings. But now, something felt different. A creeping feeling cascading down her back, a pressure in her chest, but mostly the feeling that she was being watched. Her blood ran cold and a chill shook her frame as the scent of Adam swirled around her. They weren't Splicers, all of the Splicers were hiding from something. Not to mention they had far too much Adam.
It had to be the Sisters. She'd been following the scent ever since she'd teleported down here and found Tenenbaum's craft deserted. But now it seemed as if it had simply split into a hundred different butterflies that decided to fly around her in circles until they made her dizzy. As the feeling of being trapped by something or someone crawled over her skin, her palm began to glow with a fire hot enough to melt the glass right off of a Big Sister's glowing face.
"Go ahead! Attack! I've been waiting for it all day! Are you afraid of me or something?" Though her voice was bold, she was shaking inside. She didn't know how many were there, or where they were, or if they were even there at all. One could sneak up behind her and finish her before she even knew she'd been attacked, or a group of ten might suddenly appear from the shadows, completely surrounding her.
"Come out and fight me damn it!" With a shriek she shot fire in random directions, a yell each more vicious than the last was hurled along with every volley of crackling fury until finally her throat grew sour and hoarse.
But as she stood there gasping for breath, something seemed off, even after setting the whole place alight. She waited in the dark silence, anticipation gnawing at the bottom of her stomach. Could it be that... The drip was gone? But why? She turned towards where the source had been, a pipe that had been dripping from the ceiling.
But the instant she turned she knew it was a mistake. A discarded doll sat on the ground under the leak, the drops landing on the makeshift Big Daddy's cloth body being absorbed rather than splashing in the puddle. Someone was in there with her. Before she could so much as turn to face the direction her attacker would undoubtedly come from, there was the high pitch noise of something slim slicing through the air, and then something hard and cold crashed into her skull. She had lost consciousness before her face ever met the damp ground.

Khan can't sell — so stays
Heiress Jemima Khan has proved that the property slump affects even the grandest of vendors. Having failed to sell her six-bedroom Chelsea Square mansion for £26 million she has decided to live there herself. "Jemima recognised that the market had gone bad and has withdrawn it," says the agent, Aylesford.
Two-and-a-half years ago she paid City financier James Arbib £18 million for the Grade II-listed property and then spent £2 million on "massive" improvements. Last September, out of the blue, Sir James Goldsmith's cerebral daughter received a £35 million offer for the refurbished house but the buyer pulled out hours before exchange of contracts. She and her children, Suleiman and Kassim, can now enjoy the neo-classical property that she might once have hoped to share with her ex-boyfriend, actor Hugh Grant.
R&B singer Craig David stands to make a hefty profit if he succeeds in selling his flash 4,000sq ft two/three-bedroom penthouse overlooking Hampstead Heath for £6.25 million. He bought the show flat in a 19th century blue-plaque conversion six years ago for £2.5 million and turned it into the most "ruthlessly contemporary" hi-tech living space, with finger-pad entry, intricate LED lighting, crystal-encrusted pictures and designer furniture.
Raised on a tough Southampton council estate the bling-heavy star says: "It's amazing to think that my music, something I'm so passionate about, has allowed me to buy a home in London. The hard work all paid off." Indeed, his debut album Born To Do It sold 7.5 million copies and went multi-platinum in 20 countries.
The ex-barrister who won Masterchef last year, James Nathan, has left his Balham "digs" and moved to Bath. He has rented a five-bedroom new-build Bathstone house for £1,000 a month through Chappell & Matthews.

"It's in a village just outside the city and is perfect for my wife, Linsey, who works from home as a PR, and our daughter Sophie," says the Bristol-born chef, who began work this week at the pukka Bath Priory Hotel.
"When I have more experience we would like to buy somewhere on the coast and start a seafood restaurant," he says.
Fans of the late Carry On star Kenneth Williams will be sad to hear that the blue plaque outside his Marylebone flat has disappeared along with the building. Marlborough House, a Thirties mansion block off Baker Street, where Williams lived for 16 years before his death in 1988 aged 62, has been pulled down, says the British Comedy Society. "But the developer, Land Securities, has promised to replace the plaque."
The frugal Islington-born comic, renowned for his flaring nostrils and camp mannerisms, lived next door to his devoted mother Lou. Every Sunday he would take her for a "slap-up lunch" at Joe Allen in Covent Garden.

Born Malcolm Little on May 19, 1925 in Omaha, Nebraska, Malcom X became a tireless advocate for civil rights. The son of Louise Norton Little, the mother of eight children, and, Earl Little, an outspoken Baptist minister and civil rights activist, Malcom grew up in an environment of racism and fear which culminated in the death of Malcolm's father at the hands of Black Legion, a white supremacist organization in 1929 in Lansing, Michigan.
Malcolm X quotes (American black militant leader who articulated concepts of race pride and black nationalism in the early 1960s, 1925-1965)
Malcolm was a good student, graduating from junior high at the top of his class, but he left school after a teacher told him that becoming a lawyer was "no realistic goal for a nigger." He moved to Boston and then to Harlem, where he became involved in narcotics, prostitution and gambling rings. In 1946, he was arrested and sentenced to 10 years for burglary. In prison he renewed his interest in education and coverted to Islam.
After being paroled in 1952, Malcolm denounced his surname, which he considered to be a slave name and adopted X, which represented his lost tribal name. Following the teachings of Elijah Muhammad, the leader of the Nation of Islam, Malcolm was enlisted to establish mosques in Detroit, Michigan and New York, increasing membership in the NOI from 500 in 1952 to 30,000 in 1963.
In 1963 Malcolm learned that Elijah Muhammad was having relations with six women in the NOI and had fathered several children. This blow to Malcolm's faith resulted in his leaving the NOI in 1964 and his pilgrimage to Mecca, which changed his life and his outlook. He returned to the United States with new optimism and a new message for all races.
On February 21, 1965 in the Manhattan's Audubon Ballroom three gunmen from the NOI shot Malcolm X 15 times. He was 39 years old. Malcolm X was survived by his loving wife Betty Shabazz, and their children Attallah, Qubilah, Ilyasah, Gamilah, Mallak and Malikah. His life has been immortalized in print and on film, but Malcolm's greatest legacy is his words. His wisdom is captured in the many Malcolm X quotes found on this site.

The Phantom Pain pre-cinematic calls
this wiki
Occasionally in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, right before a key cinematic relating to Mother Base appears, a character (either Miller or Ocelot) will give a brief call to the player giving a rough explanation for what's going on that is important enough to require the player (as Venom Snake)'s presence before the player is automatically brought back to Mother Base for the cutscene (as implied by the chopper sound effect upon the call's end).
First epidemic
Revolver "Shalashaska" Ocelot: Boss, we have an emergency. Many of our staff are falling ill. At first, it seemed like a common cold, but before we knew it, blisters started popping up on their chests, and... Damn it... I'll fill you in at the ACC. Just get in the chopper.
This is the only pre-cinematic call that doesn't involve returning to Mother Base or a cutscene.
Battle Gear completed
Revolver "Shalashaska" Ocelot: Emmerich's finished development on that Battle Gear of his. Get back to Mother Base.
A Selfless Act
Benedict "Kazuhira" Miller: Prolonged time in the field is bad for the body and mind. I think it's time you took a break. Do it for me. Come back to Mother Base ASAP.
Quiet interrogation
Benedict "Kazuhira" Miller: Code Talker examined everyone here, and… one of us is infected. It's Quiet. It was our cutting-edge MRI that finally revealed it. But we don't know what language strain it is. Get back to base. Time for her to talk. You know the room number – "101."
Eli's escape
Benedict "Kazuhira" Miller: Boss, as we suspected, the mastermind behind the kids' escape was Eli. It's hard to believe, but apparently he'd been plotting an armed uprising against us. He could be hiding something else too. Ocelot's going to press him for answers. Get back here as quick as you can!
Parasite outbreak on quarantine platform
Benedict "Kazuhira" Miller: Boss, we have an emergency. There's been another outbreak of the vocal cord parasites on the base. Several men are dead. It started in the Laboratory on the Quarantine Platform, where that radiation leak occurred. I'd only just deployed the Security Team... I've sent in a rescue team to help, but they haven't returned. Boss, I need you on this. Come back to Mother Base ASAP.
Huey's trial and exile
Benedict "Kazuhira" Miller: Boss, you there? We have a problem. The staff have found out everything that Emmerich's been up to. They're right on the edge. I need you to intervene before things get out of control. Get back to Mother Base ASAP.
Birthday scene
Benedict "Kazuhira" Miller: Boss, we have an emergency! Get back to Mother Base, right now! I mean it - hurry!

Kentucky Roll Call publisher and American hero Lowell Reese, who was exposed to Agent Orange decades ago while fighting communism as a battalion commander in the jungles of southeast Asia, made the ultimate sacrifice for his country when he boarded his final flight from earth last week.
Reese took the oath to defend this country and its Constitution "against all enemies, foreign and domestic" seriously.
There is no expiration date on that oath, which he understood isn't just about defending America against some foreign enemy on some far-away battlefield.
Reese also served his commonwealth in the same spirit by firmly confronting domestic foes of his fellow Kentuckians—policies that threaten their future and politicians who profit at their expense, particularly as it relates to Kentucky's public-pension crisis, which credible researchers deem the nation's worst.
He took particular aim at passage of House Bill 299 in 2005, which he labeled a "Pension Greed Act" because it allowed Frankfort's politicians to calculate the size of their legislative retirement checks based on their full-time salaries in other government positions rather than their earnings as legislators.
"This practice allows part-time legislators to convert their normal pension to super-sized pensions," Reese wrote in "Future Shock," a series of Bluegrass Institute-published reports offered analyses and solutions to the state's retirement-plan woes.
He chastised politicians from both parties for taking advantage of this policy, and published estimates of their projected taxpayer-funded pension windfalls in order to show how many of those who voted for the Greed Act would personally benefit to the tune of hundreds of thousands—and even millions—of dollars.
It's not coincidental that the first of his proposed solutions in that report was to make the commonwealth's retirement plans transparent, allowing taxpayers—including retirees who depend on state-funded pensions for their livelihoods and economic security—access to the kind of information needed to hold Frankfort's politicians accountable and achieve challenging reforms.
"His work has been a major catalyst toward at least the attempts at transparency we saw this year in Senate Bill 2," Chris Tobe, author of "Kentucky Fried Pensions: Worse than Detroit" and a former Kentucky Retirement Systems' trustee, said.
SB 2 proposed shining the light on Kentucky pension plans' contracts with hedge funds and private equity groups, requiring that all such agreements go through the bidding process.
"We have hundreds of secret no-bid contracts that the trustees, state Auditor and even legislative review committees cannot see," Tobe said. "Only the KRS staff can see all of the information."
Reese abhorred such secrecy, believing it to be a dangerous enemy to sound public policy and an insurmountable obstacle to solving a crisis that threatens the commonwealth's economic security and vitality.
That's why he also was deeply committed to making the legislative retirement system transparent, which Senate Bill 45—also introduced during this year's General Assembly session—would have done.
He rightly believed that opening the curtains on politicians' pensions was truly worth of—and eventually would receive—overwhelming bipartisan support and lead to making the entire system transparent.
Tobe notes that Reese also was one of the first to call attention to the fact that 30 percent of the 1,700 entities in the Kentucky Employees' Retirement System aren't even public agencies.
"Lowell was a very important voice in the pension debate," he said.
Neither of the aforementioned transparency bills, which passed the Senate unanimously, received a vote on the House floor during this year's legislative session. Yet for the first time they did get through the State Government Committee, despite the uninformed opposition of its chairman, Rep. Brent Yonts, D-Greenville.
The fact that the bills made it out of committee against House leaders' entrenched hostility clearly indicates that though Reese's voice may have been silenced by the enemy of death, it continues to ring strong throughout the commonwealth he loved and for which he fought.

Celebrities have many treatments as well as photoshop help to look the way they do. Unless divulged by the celebrities themselves we will never know what was done. We can only assume photorejuvenation, Microdermabrasion, Botox and fillers were some of the procedures Jennifer Aniston had done. Best would be for you to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to know what options are best suited for you. Best of luck!

The Horse Trust's Home of Rest for Horses got a helping hand from a group of veterinary students last Thursday, when six final year students from the Bristol School of Veterinary Science carried out dentistry work on eight of the sanctuary residents.
The Horse Trust's Home of Rest for Horses in Speen, Buckinghamshire, got a helping hand from a group of veterinary students last Thursday.
The six final year students from the Bristol School of Veterinary Science carried out dentistry work on eight of the sanctuary residents, including treatment of sharp overgrowths, mucosal ulcers, periodontal disease and removal of wolf teeth. Two of the horses were examined and treated in their field which necessitated a more mobile approach.
The work was carried out under the supervision of Henry Tremaine, a senior lecturer in equine surgery at the University of Bristol, assisted by Horse Trust clinical scholars Francesca Compostella and Miriam Casey. All the horses have since made a full recovery from the dental work.
Mr Tremaine said: "The visit to The Horse Trust was a great opportunity for the students to apply the skills they've learnt in the course and build their confidence. Dental problems are more common in geriatric horses, so visiting the trust enabled the students to get involved in diagnosing and treating a variety of dental issues."
The Horse Trust provides lifetime sanctuary to around 100 geriatric horses, ponies and donkeys from many different backgrounds, including rescue cases and retired working horses from the police and army.
Also assisting on the day was Paul Jepson, chief executive and veterinary director of the trust, who said he was pleased to host the students and was impressed with their equine vet skills.
He said: "We are delighted to have been able to offer the students this experience. It's a win-win situation for all involved – the horses get a dental check-up, the students get some valuable experience, and it helps us with our work-load. We were impressed with students' skills and the attention they gave each of the horses during the treatment. It was a five-star dental treatment for the horses."
The Horse Trust's Home of Rest for Horses is open every day of the week between 2pm and 4pm. Entrance to the sanctuary is free, but donations are welcomed to enable the charity to meet its running costs. It costs £17 to pay for all the costs of looking after a horse for a day, including feed, veterinary bills and farrier costs.

I don't really have much of a memory of Battersea but lived there with my mom and her friend Charlie, who I believe was a big man and very loud and kind. He had three children; Carolin, Marylin but I forget the boy's name. I think we lived in a block of flats. Would love to find them again. My mom's name was Carol and I have a warmth for Battersea and am in the area every now and again.

Closing the gap on childhood immunization
■ In the wake of National Infant Immunization Week, increased emphasis is placed on the need for continued vaccination vigilance.
Posted May 26, 2008.
Measles. Mumps. Chickenpox. Polio. These are a mere sampling from the list of 16 life-threatening diseases against which very young children can be immunized.
Not too long ago, these illnesses had a haunting, everyday presence. Now, for many, these diseases are barely a memory.
This accomplishment is considered one of public health's greatest triumphs.
It's celebrated annually during National Infant Immunization Week. This year, from April 19 to April 26, events were held across the country to highlight successful programs and remind parents and health care professionals of the benefits of vaccination.
It's also a continuing call to action.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 4 million children are born each year in the U.S., and each one should receive this array of shots during his or her first two years of life.
The American Medical Association has long-standing policy that supports this goal, endorsing the need for adequate resources and programs to ensure that children are vaccinated on schedule -- with an eye on reaching the Healthy People target of a 90% coverage rate by 2010.
So far, the message has found traction. Infant immunization coverage has topped 80%, based on government estimates.
But this figure has a flip side. About 20% of the nation's 2-year-olds still are not fully protected. A recent study conducted by CDC researchers set that percentage even higher.
They examined compliance with CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommendations and time frames -- a different tack than the usual dose-counting method. Their analysis, published April 29 by the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, found that more than one in four children between the ages of 19 months and 35 months were not in compliance. Missed doses accounted for two-thirds of the nonadherence. Mistimed doses also came into play.
Meanwhile, one only needs to read the newspaper to grasp what can go wrong when people become lax or back away from these preventives. This year's U.S. measles' upsurge -- the largest since 2001 -- is a reminder of how quickly the population can become vulnerable.
According to the CDC, from Jan. 1 through April 25, 64 measles cases in nine states were confirmed. No deaths occurred, but 14 hospitalizations were reported. When one considers that approximately 20 million cases occur each year worldwide, this number seems quite small. But health officials view it as a canary in the coal mine.
Among these cases, prior vaccination could be documented in only one. The communities where the illness took hold contained many families who opted not to vaccinate because of philosophical or religious reasons. The AMA traditionally has warned against these exemptions and encourages physicians and state and local medical associations to work to change the state or local regulations that allow them.
Also, transmission of 17 cases occurred in health care settings, including a 12-month-old who ironically was infected during a doctor's office visit for a routine MMR dose. Infected individuals spent time in waiting rooms or emergency departments because physicians and other professionals did not immediately recognize the sickness -- thereby putting other patients at risk.
These circumstances highlight important points. Health care professionals should be aware that, even though ongoing U.S. transmission of measles was declared eliminated in 2000, the disease still can find its way here. It can be acquired through international travel to many countries, including Israel and developed European nations. And physicians need to be prepared to identify it and respond quickly, as well as implement infection-control measures.
The fact that these outbreaks were limited in size is a credit to the nation's high vaccination rates and quick public health response. But diligence still is essential.
These examples demonstrate that coverage and prevention are sometimes taken for granted. But vaccine-preventable illnesses are persistently circulating around the globe, and the United States could see a return if high immunization rates are not maintained.

Developing an accurate budget takes time. First you need to figure out where your money is going, and that means sitting down and writing down every penny you spend, every day, for at least 30 days.
Then you add it all up and look at what you're spending in each category, and figure out where you're spending too much, where you can cut, where you need to spend more, etc.
Then for about 30 more days you refine the budget every day...
After about 3 months you'll have a good budget that doesn't need to get adjusted often at all.
There are plenty of people who can help you with it here, too.Sponsored Links Remove Advertisements07-17-2009, 11:15 PM #4

I agree with Greebo.........until you know where your money is going it will be hard to 'set a budget' no matter what you use....or read.
Record it..........then go from there.

crownfinancial.org will help you track expenses and shows you the results of pre paying but you do have to track where you spending and no form can do this. Get a notebook and start listing you bills. I use a 2" binder w/ clear pages. The actual "to be paid " bills can be slipped in the pockets. You need a file cabinet too if you don't have one. Make a folder for each category and alphabetize.08-03-2009, 06:52 AM #8

Will NASCAR see its ninth different winner of 2014 under the lights at Kansas Speedway this weekend?
The NASCAR Sprint Cup season is just ten races old and we've already seen eight different winners. Dale Earnhardt Jr, Kevin Harvick, Brad Keselowski, Carl Edwards, Kyle Busch, Kurt Busch, Joe Logano, and now, Denny Hamlin have all reached victory lane. With the goose egg gone from the win column, these drivers are all-but guaranteed one of those 16 coveted Chase spots.
We head into Kansas Speedway for its first ever night race. Superstars such as Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, Matt Kenseth, Tony Stewart, and Greg Biffle have all won there multiple times. None of them have won a race this year either. Could Kansas finally be their day, or night rather, to shine? Here are my picks in regards to who will be winner No. 9.
Top Choice - Matt Kenseth
This was a fairly simply choice. Kenseth won an astonishing seven races in 2013 and has emerged victorious in two of the last three Kansas races. Matt has led an impressive 262 of the 801 laps run in the previous three Kansas events - that's 33%. In the last seven races there, he's only finished worse than 7th once and that was still a respectable 11th last fall.
Other Favorites - Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, Greg Biffle
Greg Biffle has always been known for being a master of venues like Kansas. Six of Biffle's 19 Sprint Cup wins have come at 1.5 mile tracks and like Jimmie Johnson, he's won at Kansas Speedway twice (2007 and 2010).
Dark Horses - Kyle Larson, Paul Menard, Austin Dillon
Kyle Larson and Austin Dillon are the top ROTY contenders in 2014 and both have been impressive thus far. Dillon procured the pole for the Daytona 500 while Larson has finished inside the top 10 in half the races run this season, coming one position short of victory at Auto Club Speedway. Dillon is also driving the car that Kevin Harvick took to victory lane here just a few months ago.
As for his RCR teammate Paul Menard, the stats speak for themselves. Yes, he only has won Sprint Cup victory and that was back in 2011, but he also has a solid record as of late at Kansas, with three top tens and one top five since the fall of 2012. If you look at Las Vegas, which is a bit of a sister track to its mid-west brethren, Menard had a phenomenal run there this past March and at one point, seemed like the guy who would take home the hardware when it was all said and done. Paul eventually finished 3rd after leading a handful of laps.
Possible Upset - Aric Almirola
I call Aric a possible upset, rather than a dark horse, because he is the driver no one is thinking about. He's being overlooked and disregarded as a possible threat. After a closer look however, you realize that the thought of Almirola earning his maiden Sprint Cup victory at Kansas is much more plausible than originally perceived.
In the two Kansas races last year, Aric came home 8th and 10th after running up front all day, lurking just outside of contention. Go back one more race to the fall of 2012 event. Aric led a total of 69 laps that day and was the man to beat for most of the event. Two right front tire failures tarnished his stellar performance however, relegated him to a disheartening 29th place finish. Watch for Aric to have another strong run this weekend.
As these drives pursue their first victory of 2014, there will be another contingent of racers trying to halt their charge. Team Penske's Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano each have a win this season (two in the case of Logano), and both have shown a lot of strength at tracks similar to Kansas. SHR's Kevin Harvick should also be a formidable adversary this weekend and a favorite for the win.
Since it's the first Kansas race ever run at night, be prepared to expect the unexpected as NASCAR goes racing under the lights in America's heartland.

Dual Purpose Walking Staff
- 602-3000-1354
- 840008017460
- Availability:
- In Stock Items Ship Within 1 Business Day. Adding accessories and engraving takes 3 to 5 business days.
The Dual Purpose Staff blends rustic beauty and ageless functionality, making it the perfect cane for the elderly who may need the cane handle but also the stick height. Home health care agents have found this to be a nice balance for the elderly who may only need a cane for a little while. But it is also a nice combination for those needing help walking and may only use the cane handle on the occasion that they have stopped walking and are standing. With its distinct, brown oak staff with its stunning, majestic twist, the Dual Purpose Staff is easily one of our more sought-after home health walking canes. Each piece of oak is meticulously chosen, prepared, cut, and sanded, giving it our distinctive twist. Finally, each cane is sprayed with a protective clear coat lacquer -- the result is a smooth finish that magnifies the wood's innate beauty. The finished stick is a one-of-a-kind, handcrafted walking cane that is both sturdy and attractive. The handle is made of the same oak and blends nicely into the overall walking stick. The cane handle is 37" from the floor.
Unlike sterile, lifeless metal canes and staffs, Brazos walking canes offer natural appeal because they are made from real wood. You can see the fine detail and beauty of the actual tree when you look at one. Each cane is a work of art. Plus, because they are solid wood, there are no moving parts to become unstable.

A gorgeous walking stick. Meticulously finished and just a joy to handle and look at. Particularly good when you need a little help getting up with a balky knee. Highly recommended!
This walking stick is beautiful. Well made and sturdy. Always gets comments when I'm out walking. Arrived promptly. Exactly what I wanted.
Helps my Dad with his balance when out walking! Also helps him get up from his chair or the couch! Arrived very fast & the customer service was excellent!! Ty Brazos!!
I have bad arthritis in my right knee. With a cane that was sized right I still walked with a slight stoop. Switching to the walking stick has been great. I walk totally upright and I can stretch my body. I can switch from using the staff handle for support to using the staff itself. It was a great purchase.
Given to my Dad for Christmas. He had been borrowing my Mom's Brazo's stick. He loves fit and finish, and says it feels sturdy as he uses it as a cane to get up from a seated position, and as a walking stick. My Mom got her Brazo's stick back.
Really helps me stand up straight when walking and when go to stand up.
This walking stick, so well made, is absolutely beautiful. I received it yesterday and I intend to use it on my daily walks. I love the handle so i can kind of grip it while walking if I get tired. Thank you so much. I live in a walking neighborhood and I am eager to start using it. Perhaps my neighbors will be interested. There are a lot of seniors that take daily walks. Thanks again for a wonderful product and I will pass on the recommendation.
I have been looking for a stick of this design for 8 or 10 years. A friend of mine had one of the same design, but I couldn't find one, but now Brazos has added it. I just got mine and I love it. I am a big guy with arthritis and limited range of motion. This is exactly what I need to be able to easily and comfortably get out of a chair or stand up when kneeling or doing similar things. Thank you Brazos for adding it to your inventory.

Having retired in December, 2009 World Championships marathon 6th-placer and half marathon national record holder Atsushi Sato (35, Team Chugoku Denryoku) announced Feb. 2 that he will become head coach of the Kyocera corporate women's team this spring. Sato is the all-time fourth-fastest Japanese marathoner, with a best of 2:07:13, and ran the 2008 Beijing Olympics marathon. He retired last year following December's Fukuoka International Marathon. For some time he has been on leave from the Chugoku Denryoku company, training and working to develop local athletics in his native Fukushima. Previous Kyocera head coach Yasunori Niihara passed away on Dec. 20 due to an illness.
Also announced was that Sato's wife, 800 m national record holder and Olympian Miho Sato, will join the team's staff as assistant coach. The Kyocera team will also relocate from Kyoto to Kirishima, Kagoshima, its first major move in 14 years.

Zombies, Gold and Lots of Guards: A Thief's Tale
My name is Garrett.
But that's unimportant. It's what I do that holds the most importance in this story. It all started when I was a child, I pickpocketed an advanced guard that our society calls a Keeper. He caught me, it was one of my last mistakes as a thief. The Keeper turned round, and with dark leering eyes and a slightly smug grin he whispered "How would you like to come and work for the Keepers, boy?" With the promise of food and a road out of the slum I lived in, how could I refuse? Keeper training was intense, but I managed to complete it with flying colours, of course. Then on my way to be properly initiated I thought I'd grab a golden candle worth a few coins off the table in the lobby. They found out, yet another mistake, and I was cast out of the Keepers forever. But with my acrobatic expertise and knowledge about thieving I knew where my career path lead.
Since then, stealing, running from guards and killing the violent spirits of dead members from a creepy society named the Hammers is all I know. I dodge guards by the dozen, though I try not to kill if I can help it. After all, I'm no Keeper's Assassin. Though if I happen to be going through a zombie infested Old Quarter killing definitely is permitted. That is if I have holy water, such a shame that's the only way the buggers'll die.
The Keepers still get into contact with me sometimes, they generously gave me a mechanical eye after I had some trouble with an outdated old God called the Trickster. Last week I visited a charming, haunted old mental hospital nicknamed 'The Cradle'. Freakiest place I'd ever been, even more than the Trickster's mansion, and that's saying something. Let's just say it's hard to steal gold from a place when you don't know where the floor's gone. And as for the Cradle, it's even harder to steal stuff and carry out a job for someone when you're being sent back in time and chased by life-sized, jerky puppets all the time. I managed it though, eventually. I have to say, being a thief is not the easiest job. But from what I've seen, neither is being a Guard, or a zombie, or a Hammer Ghost.
My name is Garrett. And I am Thief.

WASHINGTON: The number of troubled United States banks shot up 30 per cent in just three months to 117, the highest level in five years.
A top regulator also warned that conditions will worsen as the housing slump and credit crisis continue to pound the industry.
More than a year after the credit crisis first flared up, Ms Sheila Bair, chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp (FDIC), warned on Tuesday that the outlook for the ailing banking industry was bad - and getting worse.
With the swelling tide of toxic loans proving to be even more worrisome than feared, Ms Bair said she expected more banks to join the agency's watch list of problem banks.
'We don't think the credit cycle has bottomed out yet,' she told a quarterly news conference, adding that US banks will not return to high levels of earnings any time soon.
'We expect that banks and thrifts will keep building up reserves for the next several quarters,' she said.
The news pulled down financial shares before markets closed higher on the back of a surge in energy shares.
Nine American banks have failed so far this year. They include mortgage lender IndyMac Bancorp, which has drained the FDIC's Deposit Insurance Fund used to repay insured deposits at failed banks.
In a bid to replenish the US$45.2 billion (S$64.4 billion) fund, Ms Bair said the
FDIC will consider a plan in October to raise the premium rates that banks pay into the fund. Such a move will further squeeze the industry.
The agency also plans to charge banks that engage in risky lending practices significantly higher premiums than other US banks, Ms Bair said, to encourage safer business practices.
Mr Charlie Peabody, a bank analyst at Portales Partners in New York, said such a weighted tax could hurt already troubled banks past the point of recovery.
'The tax will fall most heavily on the weakest, so the conclusion is, the weak are going to get weaker and the strong will be able to take advantage of the weak,' he said.
Ms Bair said 98 per cent of the 8,500 US banks continued to be well-capitalised. She also noted that the banking sector's exposure to the preferred securities of mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac was 'not problematic', but said some smaller institutions' exposure could cause them greater stress.
The agency said the majority of new banks on the problem list have landed there because of major exposure in commercial real estate, whereas before, the problem banks were distressed by residential products.
The FDIC said it continued to see stress in the commercial real estate market, especially in construction and development areas.
Delinquent loans - those more than 90 days past due - jumped by almost 20 per cent during the quarter to US$162.9 billion, it said.
IndyMac is now expected to cost the fund US$8.9 billion, topping the agency's prior estimates of US$4 billion to US$8 billion, the FDIC said.

The Prequel, Chapter Forty-Seven
Three Months Later
"Do you know why you're here?"
Alexander leaned his head back against the prison cell. Six months in prison - that was the amount of time he'd have to spend in this awful place. On the one time he'd joined his old cronies for a bit of criminal activity - after all, the thrill-seeker in him had only been pushed aside, not erased, when Miriam had come back to find him - he'd gotten caught. Six months in prison...but it could have been worse. Luckily, the crime had been petty enough that Alexander hadn't been given far more serious punishment.
"Alexander Hale, do you know why you're here?" Auntie Lala repeated. She'd come to visit Alexander in his misery.
"Of course."
"No, do you really know why you're here?" Auntie Lala persisted. She reached through the bars and held out her hand to Alexander. He ignored it. "You're here because Miriam couldn't fill the void in your soul. For a few months, you were satisfied with her. But then, you returned to your thievery, because Miriam couldn't provide what you thought adventure would. But Alexander, no matter how hard you try, the God-shaped hole in your soul can only be filled withGod."
"Listen, I appreciate you coming to visit me. I honestly do. But I don't need to hear a sermon on all the things I'm doing wrong. For all I know, I was coping just fine until I walked through those church doors that one Sunday."
"Ah, yes. Alcohol and women and gambling and crime. I'd certainly say you were coping just fine."
Annoyed by the sarcasm in Auntie Lala's voice, Alexander turned away. "You can leave, if you feel so inclined."
"Alexander Marcus Hale! Stop feeling sorry for yourself!"
Auntie Lala's words awoke the anger in Alexander's soul. Apathy shed, he stood and paced over to Auntie Lala. "Stop feeling sorry for myself? I'm not feeling sorry for myself, in case you didn't notice! I have no right to feel sorry for myself! I'm the reason I'm here! I'm not pitying myself, I'm - " he stopped, unwilling to continue.
"You're what?" Auntie Lala asked, voice suddenly motherly.
"I just...I wish I could die somehow." Alexander's body was trembling, and he could feel sweat pouring down his face. What I wouldn't give for something to drink right now.
"I don't want to overstay my welcome, Alexander, but I will come here every Sunday. God isn't done trying to get through to you, honey. I can tell He's working just as hard as ever to get your attention."
Nauseous from withdrawal, Alexander didn't say anything. I don't deserve to be visited. I wish they would have condemned me to death. It's what I deserve. He shuddered and finally managed to say, "You don't have to come that often." He swore. "You don't have to come at all."
"I have a son who lives in Hendrick," said Auntie Lala, voice dropping. "He lost his wife, his five children, and his home to alcohol."
Alexander was chilled. Hadn't that one man in the tavern said the same thing?
"Everytime I see my son, he's died a little bit more. I promised myself I wouldn't let you end up the same way." Auntie Lala began to cry. "I promised myself I wouldn't let you end up the same way..."

How does this organization make a difference?
Self-reported by organization
For more than 46 years the Historic Wilmington Foundation (HWF) has worked to preserve and protect the historic architecture of Wilmington, North Carolina and the Lower Cape Fear region. HWF has worked with local government to promote wise planning and preservation strategies. The Foundation was established in 1966 by a group of citizens concerned about the demolition of Wilmington's historic resources. A revolving fund (the first of its kind in NC) was set up to enable the HWF to save historic properties by purchasing them, placing protective covenants on them, and selling them for rehabilitation. Over hundred properties have been directly saved by the HWF and hundreds more have been preserved because of the Foundation's influence. The Foundation also been successful in saving houses by moving them and rehabilitating them at a new location.
Self-reported by organization
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Program 1
A variety of educational programs
Historic Wilmington offers a variety of educational programs and workshops by local and regional historians and preservation experts including lectures, classes, demonstrations, tours and trips. The Foundation offers a highly successful plaque program which is overseen by the Foundation's Plaque Committee. Buildings 75 years and older located in New Hanover County and the region are eligible for a plaque. Visit the Foundation's website, www.historicwilmington.org for an explanation of the program and an application. The Foundation website also has a link to the on-line site for the entire plaque program (now more than 500 plaques). The research created for all plaque applications is on file at the Foundation's offices. Protective Covenants and Preservation Easements Program- A preservation easement is a legal agreement between a property owner and a preservation organization that protects the architectural and historic integrity of structures by imposing limitations on the type of alterations that can be made. Protective covenants and preservation easements provide a vehicle for the property owner to take an active part in the preservation of Wilmington and to be potentially eligible for certain tax benefits. Historic Wilmington holds 88 covenants and easements. HWF is aggressively moving to acquire more easements. Since 2007 HWF has acquired 17 easements on a major downtown commercial buildings and houses. The success of the easements program has been accompanied by a major public relations thrust to raise community awareness of the value of easements. HWF provides information for problems common to historic structures,as well as maintains a preservation resources (professional in the field) network list. Provides speakers to address civic organizations on a variety of preservation topics. The HWF provides information on State and Federal historic rehabilitation tax credits and provides limited assistance in the completion of tax credit applications. In 2005 Historic Wilmington implemented it first public nomination process for an annual Most Threatened Historic Places of Wilmington and the Lower Cape Fear region. The first list was announced in 2006. See our website for the annual list, for updates, and for strategies to save threatened places. HWF initiated a new fundraising effort called IG40 in 2006 to raise funds for a small grants program, and assistance to moderate and low income home owners in the historic districts. The Foundation also reactivated its revolving fund to provide a loan guarantee on a construction loan for an historic church, and to make a short term loan to one of the 2006 threatened historic properties. The short term loan program requires a "do not demolish agreement" and the promise to grant a facade easement after the restoration of the property. using the revolving funds the Foundation purchased and rehabilitated an endangered shotgun house in 2007-08 for affordable income qualified buyers.
In 2008 HWF purchased two commercial buildings that were facing demolition and after placing easements on them was able to resell the properties.
Program long term success
Since 1996, HWF has saved more than 100 homes and buildings from demolition with the use of creative preservation strategies, such as facade easements, a revolving fund, and moving buildings. In 2007 we continued these efforts to save historic resources with expanded advocacy and education. 2007 also marked the return of Repair Affair program to improve and stabilize housing for elderly homeowners and homeowners with limited income. The Repair Affair completes basic repairs for the house and repaints the house.

It has now been over a week since we have gotten back from Doha and we have recovered (mostly) from jetlag, though we are still suffering from withdrawal. Needless to say, this was an amazing experience. But the best part of this trip is the knowledge that we have officially gone global. So while Doha will remain in our hearts as the first international trip ScrapKins has taken, it will be the first of many in the coming years. This has invigorated our senses and we are excited to explore even more events! Makerfaire NYC (another link) was amazing in Queens, the Bay Area Makerfaire took us across the country to California, and Qatar was unbelievably successful, so we would like to combine this local, national, and international experience by attending and presenting at more places around the city, state, country, and world! What's next, you ask? While there are many plans brewing in the Scrap City pot, we are pumped for a busy weekend, attending the Brooklyn Waldorf School's Winter Fair this Saturday, and the Hiptot Music Fest on Sunday! We'll check back with updates and pictures, and if you want, you can hop on down to the fairs yourself!

Creating a Plan
I woke up close to midnight sweating and shaking. It had been a long time since I'd had a nightmare about the last hunt I had gone on with the boys, but I still remembered it so vividly. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. I probably looked like crap. I hadn't showered in almost two days, my mass of auburn red curls felt tangled beyond any kind of help, and my eyes were probably puffy and red from crying.
As I thought about cleaning up I decided that it was about time I found out everything I could about the body-jumper Jensen and Jared had been after. So I pulled a notebook out of my purse, jotted down a quick note in case Jared woke up, then hurried out to my car. I tried to avoid looking people in the eye, since not only was I not dressed like I normally would be, but I looked like I had just walked out of a zombie movie.
I drove back to the motel I had a room at and brought the journal in with me, since I'd left it in the car. I jumped in the shower and soaked up the hot water for twenty minutes before getting dressed in my normal clothes, dumping the rumpled skirt, blouse, and jacket into my suitcase. Instead, I pulled on a pair of stonewashed flair jeans and a light blue tank top, then pulled my leather jacket on over that. Then, while I combed the water out of my hair I put on my reading glasses and began searching through the journal for mentions of the body-jumper.
To my surprise, by the time I had my hair all untangled I knew everything I could ever want to about the demon. Jared, who was in charge of the journal, had kept careful track of everything they had found out. I smiled as I pulled my hair up into a thick ponytail. It was just like Jared. He was always so thorough.
The demon itself was scary. It was particularly violent body-jumper and every time it switched into a new body the old body died no matter what. It could jump into anyone as long as it could see the person, and there was apparently only one way to kill it. You had to trap it inside one body then kill that body while the demon is inside, non-specific on how you kill it. I searched for hours trying to find another way to get rid of it, but that was the only thing there was. I didn't like the idea of having to kill someone, especially not after my two years absence from hunting, but since it was the only way, I didn't have much choice.
I spent another few hours coming up with a plan and gathering everything I needed to complete it. Just in case, I decided that I would use a silver stake to the heart. It would be bloody, but it would make doubly sure the demon wasn't coming back. I also came up with a way to trap it in one body. I would just have to lure it somewhere that was empty of people. To my good luck there was an abandoned warehouse at the edge of town. If I could get the demon to the warehouse then it would be trapped in whatever body it had.
The hardest part would be actually finding who was possessed with the demon currently. But Jared had left some pretty precise clues to look for. Was at the scene of the last unexplained death, was generally a man, with this demon anyway, and preferred someone with a family. Probably because so that the demon could torment them. By the time the sun was coming up again I had a general idea of who the demon was.
I had found a spell in the book that would trap the body in one place, making it easier for me to waste it, and another spell that would protect me from possession. I quickly memorized them and the diagram I would have to draw for the first one, then began packing the trunk of my car with everything I would need.
Once everything was finished I headed back to the hospital. I was, once again, going to be running short on sleep, but if I wanted to kill this thing I had to act fast before it disappeared.
Of course, I didn't want to do anything without talking with Jensen first. A leftover sentiment from before they had left. So I left everything in the car and hurried into the hospital. The receptionist stopped me and asked me who I was, until she recognized my face and commented on how different I looked. I gave her an impatient smile then tried to walk the rest of the way, even though I wanted very much to run.
Jared was asleep, his breathing deep and even, and I took a moment to run a hand through his hair. He must have been exhausted to be sleeping this much. After watching him for a moment I sat down on the bed next to Jensen.
He looked so peaceful just laying there, eyes closed. After what I had already said to him before I didn't know what to say anymore.
"Hey," I finally said quietly. I cleared my throat when tears immediately began filling my eyes. I didn't need this, not now. I had to be focused for the hunt and I could do that if I was having a pity party. I waited until the urge to cry died down, then before it could come back I laid out my plan for him.
"Just don't tell Jared," I finished, trying to keep the mood light, for my sake. "You know how he can be."
I nearly burst in to tears when Jensen didn't answer me. Him being in a coma was turning out to be harder than I thought. Jensen was always the one I discussed hunting stuff with, and he always had good ideas to add to what I was already planning. It was our combined plans that were the best.
I brushed his hand one last time, glanced at Jared, then headed out. I had a demon I needed to waste.

repair manual Bucheli german Suzuki DL 1000 V-Strom,KLV 100
- Description
Suzuki DL 1000 V-Strom – from 2002 onwards
In 2002, Suzuki brought out the large touring enduro bike DL 1000 V-Strom as a good-value alternative to the hitherto market-leading GS models from BMW and Honda's equally new Varadero and KTM 950 Adventure bikes. Thanks to its powerful and lively V2 engine and its impressive appearance, the V-Strom quickly found plenty of friends. Using appropriate parts from the extensive array of available accessories, the Suzuki DL 1000 V-Strom can be upgraded into a long-distance touring bike.
Thanks to the undemanding Suzuki reliability, the DL 1000 V-Strom is a sporty universal motorbike that can be a faithful servant to its owner over many years if reasonably maintained and cared for properly. But despite optimum maintenance and care, there can be times on the streets of this world when a problem crops up and there is no Suzuki workshop nearby, and for that this book was written. So you know what to do if the worst comes to the worst.

So, in the same week, it's revealed to us who will be the next leaders of both superpowers: Barack Obama and Xi Jinping. The only difference is we didn't know it would be Mr. Obama until after Tuesday's vote. By contrast, we knew it would be Mr. Xi long before the process that began in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on Thursday, from which he will emerge as Communist Party leader, becoming the country's president next spring.
The coincidence prompts two questions: Which superpower is getting stronger? And which faces the deeper crisis of its economic and political system? Although this may sound contradictory, the answers are: China and China.
Through its sheer size, developmental "advantages of backwardness," entrepreneurial people, history of imperial statehood and manifest individual and collective hunger for "wealth and power" (a proverbial phrase in Chinese), China will become relatively stronger and, thus, since all power is relative, the United States will become relatively weaker.
But China also has the more profound systemic problems that, if not addressed, may both slow its rise and make it an unstable, unpredictable and even aggressive state. Over the past five years, starting in the twilight of George W. Bush, the U.S. has gone through a great time of troubles. With no schadenfreude at all, I predict that China will face its own time of troubles over the next five.
We all know about America's problems, which were comprehensively aired in the election campaign and referred to by Mr. Obama in an acceptance speech that, at times, sounded more like a civics lecture. Deficit and debt, a gridlocked Congress, a tax code longer than the Bible, neglected infrastructure and schools, dependence on foreign oil, the stranglehold of money over politics: I don't underestimate the difficulty of tackling them.
But we all know about them – and that's the point. We don't know the full extent of China's problems because the Chinese media are not allowed to report them properly. In official party-state deliberations, the issues are hidden behind ideological code phrases. Now, some of China's developmental challenges would exist even if it had the best political system in the world. It has gone through the biggest, fastest industrial revolution in human history. Its urban population has grown by some 480 million in 30 years, so that more than half its people now live in cities. It may be close to the "Lewis turning point," when the supply of cheap labour from the countryside begins to dry up. It must attend to its own domestic demand, for it can't rely on America's being the consumer of last resort forever.
But many of its problems result from its very peculiar system, which may be called Leninist capitalism. Since the mechanics of the U.S. Electoral College have been explained to the point of exhaustion, let me just remind you of the Chinese version: 2,270 delegates to the 18th Chinese Communist Party national congress, which started Thursday, "elect" some 370 Central Committee members, who, in turn, "elect" some two dozen Politburo members, who, in turn, "elect" a nine-member (or perhaps now only seven-member) Standing Committee, which is at the pinnacle of the party-state. All the key appointments, in fact, will have been decided in advance, behind closed doors. Lenin would thoroughly approve.
Yet, at the same time, the vast Chinese state has a staggering degree of barely controlled decentralization and a "no holds barred" hybrid kind of capitalism, both of which would have the wax melting on Lenin's mummified brow. The result is dynamic but deformed economic development in which, for example, cities have run up mountains of bad debt with financial institutions ultimately controlled by the party-state. To call the allocation of capital in China "suboptimal" would be beneath understatement.
The nexus of money and politics may be at the heart of America's systemic blockage, but so it is of China's. In the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, you see former Communist Party leaders who have become mega-rich practitioners of capitalism-in-one-family; in China, their counterparts have become mega-rich practitioners of capitalism-in-one-family but remained Communist Party leaders. A Bloomberg investigation recently estimated the total private wealth of the incoming president's family at close to $1-billion; a New York Times inquiry put that of outgoing premier Wen Jiabao's family at $2.7-billion. Between the two families, they could have funded Mitt Romney's entire election campaign.
In China, as anywhere else, a crisis can catalyze reform or revolution. Pray that it's reform. This increasingly urgent reform, if it happens, will not result in a Western-style liberal democracy any time soon, if ever. But even some Communist Party analysts acknowledge that, in China's own long-term national interest, the changes will need to go in the direction of more rule of law, accountability, social security and ecologically sustainable development.
Now here's the rub. We, in the rest of the world, have an existential interest in the success of both America's and China's reforms. The bellicose edge to confrontations in the Asia-Pacific region between China and U.S. allies such as Japan is deeply worrying at such a relatively early stage of an emerging superpower rivalry. A recent Pew poll shows mutual distrust between the Chinese and American publics growing rapidly. Unhappy countries, unable to solve their own structural problems at home, are more likely to vent their anger abroad. We must want them both to succeed.

I remember it so well, being told we were moving to a house in Sudbourne Road, Brixton. I was nearly six years old and moved into a very old and neglected Victorian House at no 23, Sudbourne Road, with my mum, dad,sister. It was a beautiful house,with lovely original features. The house backed onto the Timber Yard, in Acre Lane and we had our very own garden. I went to Sudbourne Road, junior school then onto Loughborough Road Senior, which then moved to Stockwell Manor. Growing up in Brixton was a very happy time, playing in the street with all the children, going to the roller skating rink, the cinema, the library, Brockwell Park Lido and as Ingot older the Locarno, at Streatham. I worked in Brixton Market from the age of 12/13 and loved the different cultures and foods, the reggae music blasting out in the market place. My name then was Annette Sharp. I left Brixton when I was 17, and now live in West Australia, but will never forget my childhood memories and friends.

|Diabetes and Bad Breath
In case of a child who is not diagnosed with diabetes, ketoacidosis is the first symptom of a serious disease. This type of disease is generally seen in the type 1 diabetes. In this condition, the pancreas of the person or patient does not produce enough of insulin which does not allow the cells to take the glucose inside for metabolic activity. This is one of the most common forms of childhood diabetes.
When the cells do not get proper insulin, they lack the energy. To make up for it, fat cells are broken down. This leads to the production of acidic ketones which accumulates in the blood stream. This makes the blood more acidic in nature. The body keeps trying to rid of these Ketones through breath or urine and this leads to bad breath. Thus, you can understand how diabetes and bad breath are related with each other.
However, it is not a rule that bad breath can always be because of Ketoacidosis. In case it is not because of this illness, it can be taken in a very light manner. You can also relate it to an acute or chronic infection. The other causes of bad breath, apart from diabetic bad breath, are sinusitis, gum disease, throat infection and some complicated malignancies.

Bang for the buck! 12/08/2013
This review is from: LG 3D WiFi Built-in Blu-ray Player BP335W
Got a good deal on it for Black Friday. It plays 3d n blu ray ! If your looking for a decent 3d player with wifi then this is the way to go. Unlike other review I had no issues with wifi. The menu is simple because it's just a basic 3d blu ray player. Has USB port to hook up external hdd and hdmi port.
Only had Netflix and vudu on it but it's fine since I had other devices for streaming movies and shows. Remote is too small for my hand.
Other Thoughts:
I don't do a lot of reviews online but this I highly recommend it. It's really worth the price. Just a simple 3d player else where can cost you over a hundred already. If your like me and just need a simple 3d n blu ray player wit wifi, USB port, hdmi port then this is the way to go. Best bang for your buck!!!!
