Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
My husband got arrested for extreme DUI and a no headlights charge. We just received a letter in the mail of Notice of intent to dismiss. What could this mean? The Courthouse is closed today so I can't call to ask. Also the officer was surprise pd and he pulled him over in El mirage. And when he went the next week to get his fingerprints done the office didn't have any of the arrest paperwork.
In certainly sounds like good news, but I'd be hesitant to get too excited until speaking with somebody from the court or prosecutors office to confirm. I'd suggest calling the court again on Monday, and it might not be a bad idea to call a local DUI attorney and talk to them as well. Good luck.
Jasen NielsenAsk a similar question
I agree with my colleague, this sounds like it could be good news for your husband. Proceed with caution.Ask a similar question
I can't say without looking at the notice but it could be a motion was filed by the prosecutor to dismiss due to the wrong code being entered. This would be unusual as the prosecutor could simply amend the charge to reflect the correct code. Another possibility is that the officer never filed the original of the complaint at the court and the court is planning to dismiss. In either event don't get too excited those dismissals are always without prejudice meaning they could be refiled and they generally are. If your husband has two prior dui's within the last 84 months this one would be a felony, likewise if his license was still suspended from a prior DUI this offense could be a felony. If a prosecutor finds out the case may be a felony the general practice is to dismiss, again without prejudice to allow the County Attorney to review the case to see if it should be filed as a felony. By now you probably called the Court. Whatever the answer was check with a crimminal defense attorney the prosecutor is unlikely to let an extreme DUI fall through the cracks.Ask a similar question

You purchased your 500SL because its a reputation for strength and European styling appealed to your senses; so why would you be okay with second best when it comes to great quality auto parts? Anyone who owns a Mercedes-Benz knows that when it comes to maintaining their vehicle only the most superior replacement parts will do. When your Mercedes-Benz 500SL left the factory, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who prioritizes German engineering in their automobile. Car aficionados appreciate the luxury built into each Mercedes-Benz, and know that only top quality repair 500SL parts will suffice when your car or truck needs fixing.
On each car and truck today, the wheel lug studs must be intact in order to keep the wheels attached to the hubs. Your Mercedes-Benz 500SL wheel lug studs are pressed into the back of the wheel hub, with a threaded shaft protruding through mounting holes in your wheel. Then, the lug nuts screw onto the lug studs; fastening the wheel to your Mercedes-Benz 500SL wheel hub. When one of these breaks, you will suffer noticeable alignment issues as you drive.
Ordering new Mercedes-Benz parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are paying the lowest prices for the highest quality original and aftermarket replacement 500SL parts on the internet. Trust in the value of the parts you get from carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. Don't let a Wheel Lug Stud repair spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by installing anything but the best replacement parts. When it comes to Mercedes-Benz 500SL Wheel Lug Stud parts, you can find them for 1993, 1992, 1991, 1990 models by clicking the appropriate year below.

Bulk Spices
The spices on the local grocery store shelf have a few disadvantages: light seeps through the packaging, which lowers the quality of the seasonings. Those spices may also sit there for awhile before resale. You must also pay for that packaging! We recommend purchasing bulk foil packaging for the safest and most cost-effective solution. Frontier Natural Foods products are environmentally friendly, created with the most sustainable agricultural practices available, and are delicious! Remember that the quality of your finished product is only as good as the ingredients.

The Ghost of No. 85 Returns to Haunt Patriots The Giants see a Patriots' winning streak and they compelled to break it. Four years ago they derailed the Pats' quest for an perfect 19-0 season by mounting a memorable comeback in Super Bowl XLII. Yesterday, New England had them on the ropes in protecting their confines, where they had not lost a game since the 2008 season. Eli Manning drove the Giants back from the dead to send the Patriots' home with another streak broken. New Englanders wake up at nights with visions of No. 85 (David Tyree) making his famous, back-breaking catch. Yesterday, another player wearing that number – TE Jake Ballard – broke their back with four big catches, including the game-winning TD. From Geico SportsNite:

Book Review: GivingBy Leif Hass | March 1, 2008 | 0 comments
Giving: How each of us can change the world
By Bill Clinton
Knopf, 2007, 256 pages
Bill Clinton's new book reads much like one of his political speeches: long, folksy, full of sentimental stories, but ultimately inspiring. "We all have the capacity to do great things," he writes.
Although the book mostly focuses on individual efforts—ranging from superstars like Bono to an 85-year-old washer woman—it is most interesting when it takes a broader, more macroeconomic look at philanthropy. For example, Clinton reports there is an "explosion of citizen activism" because more people are living under stable governments where non-governmental organizations (NGOs) can work. At the same time, globalization and information technology allow us to witness the world's problems more easily. These two forces do have their downsides: Though they have generated incredible wealth, they have also widened the chasm between rich and poor. But as globalization and information technology help attune more people to global problems, NGOs can provide a voluntary mechanism for redistributing at least some of this wealth.
Clinton is a politician, not a scientist or philosopher. He never explores the deeper questions of why giving is good for the giver, or how philanthropy might, in some cases, reinforce inequalities of wealth and power. But in Giving, Clinton does his best to bring people together in order to create a more just and equitable world.

The mission of American Aid for Children of Nineveh Iraq (AA-CNI) is to improve living conditions including access and quality of primary and secondary education for orphan, fatherless and street children living in the Nineveh region of Iraq. Working as IraqKids.org, we inform and educate others about conditions facing these children. AA-CNI's primary goal is to provide educational supplies to meet the needs of these children enabling their return to school. Return to school is mandatory for all children being assisted. Additionally, IraqKids.org provides assistance to schools in the Nineveh Iraq area that lack items needed to educate their students such as classroom equipment, supplies, desks and notebooks. We do not supply textbooks or tracts.

Self-reported by organization
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Program 1
AA-CNI has three operating programs: the art outreach program distributes art supplies to schools--who in turn send some art projects for a traveling display to increase awareness; the Sponsor a School Project assisting schools lacking basic supplies and equipment needed to educate their students and a Project to Establish a shelter for homeless street children. As part of the shelter project, we strive to find medical care for those with needs greater than can be ministered to in Iraq. The bulk of our operating programs are supported through the volunteer actions of individual Americans and American school children.
Program long term success
When forced to close the sponsorship of individual children (due to the murder and threats of our staff), we partnered with existing aid organizations to continue to assist the children of Nineveh.

ReviewThis fun little gas sipper has changed my mind about BMW. I always thought of them as an overpriced equivalent to Volkswagen. First, The power to weight ratio is great. Secondly, the ride and handling is sporty enough to zip around country roads in but not so stiff you can't enjoy a long haul on the interstates. Lastly, the fuel economy is astounding. I get 33-35 MPG highway and an overall average of 25.7. I don't baby it or drive it like it's stolen, I just drive it the way one should. Maintenance has not been horrible. A new set of tires (touring 4 season) $600 with line up, window regulators $200 each installed, oil changes are $80 for BMW filter and full synthetic oil (15,000 mi).
Best FeaturesExcellent daily driver for anyone looking for a smaller sedan with a good build quality and resale value. This has been a fun car to own and drive.
Worst FeaturesThe auto climate control is just less than perfect. The back seat passengers do not have vents. Also, you must select a/c even in 'auto' mode. The oem window regulators use plastic pulleys that wear out. Prepare to spend $200-250 per window when they go out. I lost 3 in two weeks!

When I booked Hi-Whiskey Jack by Hostelworld confirmed that my deposit is US$20.90, and the Amount due on Arrival is CA$190.08, but the manager said I have to paid $250.20 - deposit CA$25.92, so I have to paid CA$229.28 instead. Also the wifi only start from everynight from 20:00- 20:30, the manager said the people stay there before used up a lot of data, so he have to cut down the amount that we used, but I don't think is reasonable.

Visual Basic Power Wrapper
Budget $30-100 USD
I am looking for a program that I can use like VBPowerwrap ([url removed, login to view]). The program must have a good interface - professional looking, and most of all it must work efficiently. To do this project you will need the visual basic runtime files. I know however this wrapper can not be developed in vb, I will accept programs programmed in delphi and c++ (Visual is preferable and will probably be favoured) The application must preform compression on all the files it wraps. If there is no compression then sorry it fails, as the vb runtime files + my apps are too large for people without broadband to download. When the program unwraps its self please do this transparently, I am not looking for a visible self extractor. Unfortunately for some coders I WILL REQUIRE THAT YOU INCLUDE A DEMO - I don't like to accept bids that I can't see. If you make your demo efficient and as smoothly operational as VBPowerWrap then I will probably choose your bid. I need a very small file for distribution in the end. Should you do very well and deliver me an excellent piece of work I am willing to give bonuses - and offer you more jobs.
## Deliverables
1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Installation package that will install the software (in ready-to-run condition) on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) Complete ownership and distribution copyrights to all work purchased. 4) A detailed report on how the application works, and why you think it works best this way (In regards to efficiency of the application) 5) A version of the source code must be fully commented as well as one copy without comments. (May be not be necessary - will be at my discretion once a bid has been accepted) 6) Application must be easy to brand. You might want to put in demo branding for the time being !
## Platform
WINDOWS 9x WINDOWS Me WINDOWS NT 4 WORKSTATION & SERVER WINDOWS 2000 WORKSTATION & SERVER WINDOWS XP HOME & PROFESSIONAL WINDOWS .NET SERVER 2003 (Don't worry about this one really - nice if you could but not a big problem) BASICALLY GET IT WORKING ON ALL VERSIONS OF WINDOWS OLDER THAN AND INCLUDING 95. (Excludes Pocket OSs)
## Deadline information
Must be completed by the deadline of 31st January 2003 Report must be available on the 29th of January 2003 - Completed. Word format would be nice.

I've been looking for the lightest inflatable pad on the market and not counting the Uberlite (doesn't look comfortable at all)it seems the Torsolite is the winner. Any other options that I might have missed?
@cpholleyLocale: Minnesota Transplant
Check out the Montbell UL 90
10.2 oz, but 20 inches wide instead of the Torsolite 17" wide. Just a thought.
@alekatLocale: Wyoming, USA
This inflatable is only 4.3 oz!
At least it isn't an Inflate-A-Date.
@eaglembLocale: AZ, the Great Southwest!
Sheeeessh! It must be a really slow web surfing day.
@idahomtmanLocale: Northern Idaho
I stick with the torsolite for a quality, comfortable inflatable pad. Just don't roll off!
I seem to remember an article out there somewhere concerning doing surgery on a thermarest pad. But I don't remember how much of a savings it accomplished. Anyone else remember that one?
Sigh……I seem to be coming to the cold (no pun intended) reality that I'll be using a foam pad on my XUL attempts this spring. Not that that is a big deal, I started out in 1988 w/ a ridgerest. I'll just have to get back in the groove of picking "softer" spots to crash in.
George, this might be a good foam pad.
Steve, thanks I actually have one of these pads. I guess I was hoping to not have to give up my inflatable to get to where I want to be. It's funny how in our quest to get as light as possible we give up some things so easily, and other we hold onto as tightly as we can. I'm actually giving consideration to a trimmed down 1/8" thinlight pad. Until I get around to that I will probably use the nitelight.
@drgonzoLocale: Southeast
"At least it isn't an Inflate-A-Date."
Its a pad and a snuggle buddy in one!

As a fiscally conservative "Jeffersonian Republican," Congressman John Culberson is committed to Thomas Jefferson's vision of limited government, individual liberty, and states' rights. Simply put, John Culberson believes in "Letting Texans Run Texas."
John Culberson was elected in 2000 to represent the 7th District, a seat formerly held by President George H. W. Bush and House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Bill Archer. In Congress, John's priorities include strengthening the economy by cutting taxes, creating jobs, and balancing the budget; securing the border, advancing medical and scientific research; and improving Houston transportation.
John is a member of the House Appropriations Committee, which is responsible for funding the federal government. His position on the committee allows him to promote his vision for effective government – lower taxes, less regulation, and more local control. In 2011, John was selected to chair the Subcommittee on Military Construction and Veterans Affairs. With the third largest subcommittee budget on the Appropriations Committee, John is committed to providing our military and veterans with the very best care and resources while eliminating inefficient programs.
In 2011, John was also selected to be the Vice Chair of the Homeland Security Subcommittee. John believes the lawlessness on the border requires immediate action, and in close cooperation with the Texas Border Sheriffs' Coalition, he continues to secure federal funding for the sheriffs to enforce existing law and provide the necessary support for our Border Patrol agents.
In addition to his leadership roles on two Subcommittees, John also serves on the Commerce, Justice and Science Subcommittee, where he's a tireless advocate for law enforcement and NASA.
John is also a zealous advocate for increasing our national investment in medical and scientific research. He recognizes that breakthroughs in these areas are vital to meeting the economic and technological challenges we face in the 21st century.
John also believes in cost-effective transportation projects that reduce congestion on Houston's busy freeways. His signature transportation project, the Katy Freeway expansion, is the nation's first combination Interstate highway with locally-owned toll lanes. The project was finished years ahead of schedule, and according to TxDOT has cut travel time in half.
A life-long Texan, John Culberson earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in History from Southern Methodist University in Dallas in 1981. After college, he worked for his father's political consulting and advertising agency before earning a Juris Doctorate degree from South Texas College of Law in Houston. Before his election to Congress, he practiced law as a civil defense attorney with the Houston firm Lorance and Thompson.
In 1986, John was elected to the Texas House of Representatives while he was a law student. He spent 14 years in the Texas House and in his last term in 1999, he was selected by his peers to serve as Minority Whip.
He is best remembered in Austin for his successful effort to restore state control of the Texas prison system from a federal judge. After introducing and passing legislation in the Texas House, and drafting key pieces of federal law, John fought in court on behalf of his legislation and the ruling returned full authority over state prisons to the Texas Legislature.
John and his wife, Belinda, have been married over 20 years and have a 17 year old daughter, Caroline. They are members of Memorial Drive United Methodist Church.

Working with an organic semiconductor, electrical-engineering researchers at the University of Arkansas have fabricated and tested two similar but slightly different biosensors that can measure important physiological signs. Integrated into "smart" fabrics – garments with wireless technology – the sensors will be able to monitor a patient's respiration rate and body temperature in real time and thus provide point-of-care diagnostics to health-care professionals and greater freedom for patients.
"We're trying to move diagnostic testing out of the laboratory and directly to the patient," said Taeksoo Ji, assistant professor of electrical engineering. "Although there has been some success at this effort over the past decade, traditional materials are not suitable for manufacturing low-cost, large-area sensor devices. The advantages of organic semiconductors will allow manufacturers to produce devices that are light, flexible and easily integrated into biomedical applications such as smart vests and fabrics."
The researchers – Ji and Soyoun Jung, a graduate student in electrical engineering, under the direction of Vijay Varadan, Distinguished Professor of electrical engineering – worked with pentacene, a hydrocarbon molecule, and carbon nanotubes to develop the two types of sensors – a temperature sensor and a strain sensor. The addition of carbon nanotubes with pentacene increases sensor sensitivity. As an organic semiconductor, pentacene is efficient and easy to control. Both sensors were fabricated directly on flexible polymeric substrates.
The strain sensor, which would monitor respiration rate, consisted of a Wheatstone bridge, an instrument that measures unknown electrical resistance, and a thin pentacene film that acted as a sensing layer. The system would work when a physiological strain, such as breathing, creates a mechanical deformation of the sensor, which then affects the electrical current's resistance. The researchers found that the smaller the sensor, the more sensitive it was to current variations.
For the temperature sensor, the researchers used what is known as a thin-film transistor, which is a special kind of transistor that deposits thin film semiconductors on substrates. The thin-film transistor helped the researchers observe electrical current in linear response to temperature change. Most importantly, in low voltage areas, the current displayed the highest sensitivity to temperature changes.
The success of the research is promising for patients whose vital signs must be continuously monitored. Varadan said the sensors and wireless networks can fit on garments such as undershirts. With this technology, the smart fabric can monitor vital signs and collect and send data to an information hub in real time. The information can provide immediate detection of physiological abnormalities, which will allow physicians to begin treatment or prevent illness before problems reach an acute stage.

In Build Home Fitness Equipment With Wood, Virginia bodybuilder Carlos DeJesus described two workout machines that he and his training partner developed in the process of constructing—believe it or not—a home gym made entirely of wood ... a setup that eventually helped them both win national championships a couple of years ago.
Now, we didn't expect our readers to take up bodybuilding with the ardor of these athletes, but we did figure that for about $200 (Carlos's estimate of his expenses for his eight-piece gym, excluding weights), a health conscious person with few carpentry skills could enjoy the benefits of a real fitness center with out having to deal with crowded facilities or monthly fees.
At first, we thought we'd detail just two pieces of home fitness equipment from Carlos's wooden gym: the incline/flat pressing bench and the leg curl/extension machine shown in Build Home Fitness Equipment With Wood
If you've worked on simple wood-framing projects before, this undertaking shouldn't tax your time or patience ... but even if you haven't, you'll find that construction of these machines is essentially a cut-and-paste operation, requiring only a handsaw, a drill (with 5/64", 1/8", 3/16", and 3/8" bits, and 1/2" and 1 1/8" hole saws), a countersink, a screwdriver, a wrench set, a tape measure, and some carpenter's glue.
The list of materials given for each machine itemizes the quantity and dimensions of the parts needed to build it, and the illustrations (see Image Gallery) indicate how the pieces fit together. When selecting lumber for the various implements, look for sound, knot-free, and relatively straight construction-grade pieces. Also, to save yourself some unnecessary aggravation, trial fit the parts together before drilling the screw holes and ultimately gluing and fastening the joints.
The manner in which you finish the wood will be up to you, but it'd be a good idea to sand any rough spots and edges before applying the paint or varnish. And, of course, you'll want to pad—using foam sheeting or carpet scraps—any points at which the equipment will come in contact with your body, since bare 2 X 4's could raise some pretty mean bruises in short order!
Once everything's completed, you'll be able to "exercise" the same freedom that Mr. DeJesus enjoys in his own home gym. But don't overdo it: Start with moderate weight levels to get a feel for your own physical limits and the capabilities of your equipment, then gradually increase your working load.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Carlos DeJesus has written a booklet How To Build Your Own Wooden Gym, which illustrates the assembly of all eight pieces of workout equipment. Information on this publication, plus another dealing with his Natural Instinctive Training program, is available from him through The School of Natural Bodybuilding.

University of Calgary, Calgary, AB, Canada
PURPOSE: Transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) is effective in the diagnosis of sarcoidosis, particularly when performed with a 19 gauge needle. Real-time endobronchial ultrasonography TBNA (EBUS) is effective in the diagnosis and staging of lung malignancy, but given its smaller 22 gauge needle, its role in the diagnosis of sarcoidosis is unclear. This study aims to compare TBNA vs. EBUS in patients with mediastinal adenopathy and a clinical suspicion of sarcoidosis.
METHODS: Randomized controlled trial. Subjects suspected of having sarcoidosis with mediastinal or hilar adenopathy (> 1 cm short axis on computed tomography) were randomized to TBNA vs. EBUS. Other samples were performed as deemed necessary by the bronchoscopist. On-site cytology was not used. The primary endpoint for this preliminary analysis was the presence of noncaseating granulomas (NCG) in the aspirate, on a per node basis.
RESULTS: Twenty-five patients of a planned enrollment of 50 have been randomized thus far (TBNA - 11, EBUS - 14) and 82 nodes sampled. Twenty patients had suspected Stage I (80%) and 5 patients Stage II (20%) sarcoidosis. The mean lymph node size (short axis) in the TBNA group and EBUS group was 18.1mm and 17.8mm respectively (p >0.05). The number of lymph node stations aspirated per patient in the TBNA vs. EBUS groups was 2.45 and 3.86 respectively (p < 0.001). NCG were demonstrated in 63.0% of the nodes aspirated in the TBNA group and 60.0% of the EBUS samples (p >0.05). Including all bronchoscopy samples, NCG were demonstrated in 23/25 patients (92%).
CONCLUSION: On a per node basis, EBUS-TBNA does not appear superior to standard 19g TBNA in the diagnosis of sarcoidosis, but facilitates aspiration of more lymph node stations per patient.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Bronchoscopic transbronchial needle aspiration of mediastinal nodes with or without EBUS is a useful test in diagnosing sarcoidosis. It has yet to be determined whether the addition of EBUS will improve the diagnostic rate of TBNA on a per patient basis.

Premier says restricting foreign investment will lose $1 billion in real estate sales
It didn't take long for BC's Premier to reject the mayor of Vancouver's request for support making housing more affordable in his city.
Christy Clark sent Gregor Robertson a two-page response Thursday claiming most real estate speculation is local, and hiking taxes with hopes of driving down prices could backfire.
Clark ruled out a speculation tax, while hinting at changes to help first time buyers, and pondering the costs the city could cut on real estate transactions for buyers.
She says home-owners with large mortgages could suffer if they lose equity.
Clark also suggests 'better land-use planning to curb demand by increasing the supply of housing.'
In an analysis cited by Clark ,the Ministry of Finance says drastically reducing foreign investment would reduce GDP, result in lost jobs, housing starts would decline, and a billion dollars would be lost in residential real estate sales.
No tracking system for real estate purchases
A BC Real Estate Association assessment also used by the Premier concluded foreign buyers equal about 5-percent of the market, but the association also admits there are no statistic tracking purchases by foreign buyers.
The city needs an urgent solution to the rapid growth in housing prices
In response to the Premier's letter, Acting Mayor Raymond Louie says the focus is not on foreign ownership but investor speculation and lack of affordability and the need for a solution is urgent.
Mayor Gregor Robertson had sent the Premier a letter earlier this week asking her to introduce a speculation tax and to increase the property transfer tax on the most expensive properties and investing that revenue in affordable housing.
He also wants legislation giving municipalities the power to track property ownership, as well as monitor vacant homes. READ Robertson's letter to the Premier here.

EDIT 5/1/13: Added a scene to the beginning that was accidentally cut out during the first upload. Sorry about that.
Three years without an update... that's pretty horrible even for me. Sorry about that. I've been occupied with my other fics, and real life is taking up a lot of free time, and uh... Typical Author Excuse No. 3. Anywho, just to prove that none of my stories are truly dead unless I say so, here's chapter 2. Can't really justify the wait, but I hope you enjoy it anyway.
Once everyone's heart rates dropped back to normal and Nyamo spent some time profusely apologizing to the old woman for Yukari's recklessness, the group met up with Chiyo and purchased their tickets. The man at the booth did a double-take upon seeing Tomo, but Yomi pushed her along before any questions could be asked.
"So, here we are," Yukari announced, glancing around the crowded area around them. She turned to Nyamo. "Well, let's let the kids play while we go get a drink."
"It's nine-thirty in the morning, Yukari," Nyamo informed her. "And zoos don't sell alcohol."
"What!? Then why did we agree to come here?"
Nyamo could only hang her head and sigh.
"How close are we to the nursery?" Sakaki asked Chiyo, who had grabbed a map of the park from the front desk and was now studying it intently.
"Hmm...It looks like it's toward the back. Right now we're closest to the reptile and bird habitats."
Kagura bent down, gazing at the map over the shorter girl's shoulder. "They still have the big aquarium with all the tropical fish and sharks and stuff, don't they?"
"Yep; an aquarium, a dark cave for the nocturnal animals, separate sections for the large and smaller land animals-"
Tomo interrupted with an excited yell. "Let's go! I wanna see everything!" Before she had a chance to charge off, Yomi reached out and clamped down hard on her friend's shoulder.
"You're not going anywhere on your own! I am not jumping into any cages to save your butt."
"Aw, come on Yomi! I'm not stupid enough to try something like that again!"
"I find that highly debatable."
"We'll just have to stick together in groups," Nyamo said. "No running off on your own and we'll all get through the whole place before we're done."
Everyone nodded and, with the rules laid down, they set off for the first exhibit.
The group arrived at the large, luminous cave-like structure that housed all of the reptiles. As they walked toward the entrance, a young zoo employee carrying a large box brushed by in front of them.
"You got here just in time for the feedings, if you're interested," she informed them cheerfully, giving the box a small shake which elicited dozens of tiny squeaks from within. Yomi, Sakaki and Chiyo, who were not at all interested in seeing mice being eaten by snakes, decided to bypass the place completely and wait on the other side. None of the others seemed to share their feelings and went right in, most of them even carrying food of their own to snack on while they watched.
The remaining five stopped first at the wall of glass that the lizards were held in, where the woman had just finished dumping a small sack of crickets into. As they waited, hoping to witness one of the chameleons attempt to catch one, Kagura turned to the teachers. "Is it true that chameleons have tongues that are longer than the rest of their bodies?"
"Most of them do," Yukari confirmed.
"Wow," Osaka breathed, staring at the lizards with a newfound interest. "Chameleons must be the best kissers on the planet."
All four of her companions turned to stare at her.
"You...want to kiss chameleons?" Tomo questioned.
Osaka shook her head. "No, but my uncle once told me that if you could touch your nose with your tongue, it meant you were a good kisser. So if chameleons can touch any part of their body with their tongue, that would mean that they're really, really good kissers, right?"
Tomo thought about that. "I guess that makes sense."
Nyamo chuckled weakly. "Actually, I don't think it-"
"I can touch my nose with my tongue," Yukari interrupted before doing exactly as she claimed. "And I'm definitely an awesome kisser!"
"It's too bad that most of the men you've gone out with end up cutting the dates short before you're able to prove it," Nyamo commented.
"At least I GET dates!" Yukari shot back.
The two glared at one another as the younger girls took a few seconds to try replicating Yukari's action, but all failed.
"But you know," Kagura said once she'd given up. "I always heard that you were supposed to be a great kisser if you could tie knots in cherry stems with your tongue."
Tomo scoffed. "As if anyone could really do that!"
"Actually, I can do it," Nyamo informed them.
"No way!" Tomo stated skeptically.
"No, really," the gym teacher assured her. "Yukari and I used to practice with them all the time back in middle school and I got really good at it. It's been a while since I've tried it, but I'll bet I still could."
Tomo pulled the lid off of her soft drink, plucked out a maraschino cherry that was fortunate enough to have been placed in it and handed it to the older woman. "Let's see it."
Nyamo stared quizzically at the small red fruit, then shrugged and popped the whole thing into her mouth. Behind her, not to be outdone, Yukari grabbed the cherry from her own drink and did the same. The trio watched anxiously as the two teachers went to work, their faces screwed into concentration as their mouths twisted back and forth with their effort.
After about fifteen seconds, Nyamo reached into her mouth and pulled out the cherry, holding it up triumphantly by its tightly knotted stem.
"Oooh," the three girls said in amazement.
"Aaah," came an appreciative response from a few men who'd noticed the display.
"Wow, she didn't even break the stem from the cherry," Kagura noted with increased awe.
"I guess I haven't lost my touch after all," Nyamo giggled, happy that her recent romantic dry spell hadn't affected her too badly.
Everyone turned back to Yukari, who appeared to be struggling, if the wild shaking of her head was any indication.
"She might be at it for a while," Nyamo told them.
"Then let's go watch the snakes eat," Tomo suggested.
"You know the weird thing about snakes?" Osaka asked as they began moving on. The others just looked at her questioningly, so she continued. "Their whole bodies are just a head, a tail, and a really long neck, right?"
"Right," Tomo said with a quick nod.
Nyamo opened her mouth to correct the girls, but changed her mind. Sometimes it was just easier to observe such things without getting involved. Besides, it was her day off, and she wasn't a biology teacher anyway.
"I always thought they were a head, a neck and a really long tail," Kagura mentioned.
"Why would a snake's food go into its tail?" Tomo asked.
Kagura opened her mouth, then closed it. It was tough to argue that sort of logic.
"Anyway," Osaka went on. "That means that when a snake swallows its food, it gets stuck in its throat, right?"
"I guess so," Kagura said after a short pause for thought.
"So then how come you never see a snake choke to death on its food, especially when the stuff they swallow is usually bigger than the snake's head?"
Tomo and Kagura thought on that for a moment while Nyamo suppressed laughter.
"Maybe snakes don't have gag reflexes," Kagura theorized.
"That can't be right," Tomo told her. "Everything has a gag reflex, don't they?"
"Actually, I don't have one," Nyamo piped in.
"Really?" Osaka asked.
"Prove it!" Tomo challenged.
Nyamo shrugged helplessly. "I...don't really have any way of proving it right now."
Tomo scratched her cheek in thought. "Then when we're done in here we'll just go find one of those stands that sells frozen chocolate bananas on sticks and you can show us with that!"
The group moved onward, unaware of the increasing number of men who were now following discretely behind them.
Back by the chameleons, Yukari accidentally swallowed her cherry, stem and all, grumbled noisily about it for several seconds, then stomped off to catch up with the others.
"Hey, while we're waiting for the others, why don't we go inside the bird house?" Chiyo suggested, which Sakaki and Yomi readily agreed to.
The three walked the short distance to a large wooden building and stepped inside. Instantly, they found themselves bombarded with the cheeps, squawks and caws of hundreds of birds, all of varying size and color. While a few specific types were confined to their own cages to the sides, the majority of them were gathered into the extra-large exhibit cage in the center of the room.
They moved to the center cage, where Chiyo and Yomi began pointing out and identifying the different species that they recognized to each other. Sakaki listened to them for a few minutes, feeling a little bored. Birds might have been pretty to look at with their bright colors; they just weren't exactly cute. And all the squawking and chirping was giving her a bit of a headache.
Then, something out of the corner of her eye caught her attention. Turning, she spotted a family laughing as they moved away from a cage that was isolated from the rest. Inside the cage was a large brightly colored bird, yellow on its front and blue on its back, with a short, hooked beak and a zebra-striped face.
Curious, she walked over to the cage and the small wooden sign in front of the cage, which identified the bird as a South American Macaw. Beneath that sign was a smaller one that read "Hello, my name is Boko. If you talk to me, I'll talk back."
Sakaki grew even more intrigued. She'd read a few books before about talking birds, but had never seen one in person. She glanced back to the colorful bird, who was staring back at her almost expectantly. She decided it was worth a try.
"Um...hello, Boko," she greeted tentatively.
Boko let out a low-pitched squawk and bowed its head. "Hello. Awk! Hello."
A light blush spread across her face. It may not have been near as adorable as a kitten, or even a puppy, but a talking bird was still pretty cute.
"I'm Sakaki," she told him.
"Sakaki!" the bird agreed with a sharp whistle, making her smile and wonder what else she could get him to say.
"You're really pretty, Boko."
"You're pretty hot yourself, sweetcheeks. BAWK!"
The girl's expression fell so fast, it was as if she'd been shot. "W-what?"
"You got it going on, baby, raww!" Boko stated. "Show me how you work it!"
Sakaki's face flooded crimson. She was so flustered that she couldn't even speak, and so instead turned and quickly walked away.
"Hate to see you go, toots, but I love to watch you leave!" Boko called after her, which only made her retreat faster.
Nor five seconds after Sakaki left did Yomi happen to wander over toward the display.
"Oh cool, a talking bird!"
Having finished an examination of a pair of New Zealand kiwis, Chiyo backtracked to find her companions. She spotted Sakaki standing off by herself, not looking at any of the birds, and walked over to her.
The tall girl started at being addressed before turning to face her friend, hoping that her intense blush was back under control. "Chiyo-chan."
"Are you okay?" the young prodigy asked in concern.
Sakaki nodded slowly. "Um, Chiyo-chan... how much do you know about talking birds?"
Chiyo hummed thoughtfully. "Well, I know that there's several different species that can do it. And I know that they don't really know how to talk; it's just that they're really good at mimicry. They can repeat all sorts of sounds that they've heard before, including human words."
Sakaki considered the explanation. "So, if one of them were to say something... strange?"
"Then it's just because they heard someone else say it," she confirmed with a grin.
That information made Sakaki feel a whole lot better. Boko wasn't a creepy, perverted bird; he'd just been unfortunate enough to hear someone else saying creepy, perverted things. It still wasn't cute, but at least it wasn't his fault.
Still, she should probably get Chiyo-chan out of there before she ended up venturing over to Boko. She wasn't about to let the little girl's ears be tainted by such dirty talk. She just had to track down Yomi and-
"Who are you calling fat, bird!?"
The two girls turned, as did most everyone else in the building, toward the macaw cage, which their friend was angrily banging her fist against. With a cry of panic, Chiyo ran over and threw her arms around the older girl's waste.
"Please stop, Yomi-san! You'll get us kicked out!" she cried as Sakaki gently began pulling them both away from the exhibit.
Yomi didn't seem to notice either of them, as she was still glaring daggers at Boko who, despite not having lips, still appeared to be smirking at her. "How about I grill you up into yakitori and see how fat I get from that!?"
"Please calm down, Yomi-san!" the little prodigy begged. "He wasn't saying it on purpose or anything! Macaws only repeat things that they've heard other people say, that's all!"
"So then you're telling me that the bird heard someone else say that I have my own gravitational pull?!" she demanded, throwing a fierce glare to the people around them, who were all quick to clear the area.
"Please don't be mad at him, Yomi-san," Chiyo said again. "Macaws aren't smart enough to actually understand our language."
"He might be smarter than you think, Chiyo-chan," Sakaki commented, swearing that the bird in question had just winked at her. Yomi gave a firm nod in agreement.
"But he's really not," Chiyo assured them. "Here, I'll show you." And before either girl could stop her, she stepped in front of Boko's cage and addressed him. "Hello, Boko."
The macaw stared at her, tilting its head as though evaluating her in some way. "Awk! Don't worry, I'm sure you'll fill out soon."
Chiyo tilted her own head in confusion. "Fill out what?" she asked innocently.
"Drink lots of milk!" the bird squawked, flapping its wings for emphasis. "And don't forget to massage them three times a-"
From behind Chiyo, Yomi lifted her hands, placing one clenched fist on top of the other and then twisted them in opposite directions. Beside her, Sakaki gave Boko her best intimidating stare. She didn't look all that different from usual, but Boko seemed to get the message.
"...B-Boko want a cracker?" the bird stammered.
Chiyo stared at him a moment longer before turning back to her friends with a knowing grin. "See, girls? Just because they know how to form words and sentences, it doesn't mean they actually know what they're talking about."
"I guess you're right, Chiyo-chan," Yomi said as Sakaki nodded beside her. "I definitely should have known better than to doubt you."
"We should go find the others," Sakaki suggested, hoping to get Chiyo away from the dirty-minded bird before he started shooting his mouth off again. Chiyo nodded in agreement and the three headed for the exit, but not before the older two gave Boko one last glare over their shoulders.
Once they were out of sight, Boko brushed a wing across his forehead, whistling softly. Some humans just had no sense of humor.
Once outside, the girls looked around for the other members of their group.
"There they are," Sakaki said, pointing toward a nearby food cart, where Tomo, Kagura and Osaka were staring expectantly at Nyamo, who was...
Yomi's eyes widened and Sakaki blushed as they watched the spectacle from afar.
"Someone should really tell Nyamo-sensei to chew her food," Chiyo stated worriedly. "She's going to end up choking trying to swallow a whole banana like that."
The next update shouldn't take near as long as this one did, but I will admit that this fic isn't my top priority right now, so I can't say for certain when the next chapter will actually show up. Thanks for you patience.
Til next time.

The unheard track picked by Geordie Cheryl, 28, is described as an "urban,
mid-tempo ballad".
It is likely to be one of the first songs to be released as a single from the
album, a follow-up to 2010's Messy Little Raindrops.
Cheryl is also said to have thrown herself into collaborations with Rihanna,

All square at the DW Stadium as Latics performance is denied three pointsWIGAN ATHLETIC 1Rodallega, 59BOLTON WANDERERS 1Elmander, 66Report by Paul ChialtonHugo Rodallega's third goal of the season was cancelled out by Johan Elmander as Bolton pegged Latics back to a 1-1 draw at the DW Stadium on Saturday afternoon.Rodallega's strike on the hour-mark was the product of a fantastic counter-attack by the home side, with Momo Diame winning the ball back outside his own half before setting Charles N'Zogbia loose down the left-wing.The Frenchman cut into the centre before cushioning a ball into Franco Di Santo's feet before his cute lay-off found Rodallega one-on-one with Jussi Jaaskeainen and there was only ever going to be one winner; a low stun into the bottom left-corner.It was reward for the home side's patience and a slice of luck after James McCarthy, and later Emmerson Boyce, had to be taken off injured.However, it wasn't long before Bolton were on level terms, Kevin Davies nodding down for Elmander to poach home at the back-post.The away side had looked dangerous going forward but Roberto Martinez will be disappointed with the space the Swedish forward found for himself inside the area.Latics performed well again to stretch their current form to one defeat in their last nine games, battling well against a physical Bolton team and creating fantastic chances in the final third.Rodallega saw a header flash across the face of goal after meeting a corner superbly and Tom Cleverley was introduced late on to mix things up a little, he did just that and twice threatened Jaaskelainen's goal with sharp efforts.Credit must also go to Franco Di Santo were was immense up-front, holding off the away side's defence and always providing an outlet for the ball. The Argentine front-man is going from strength to strength in a Latics shirt.Overall Roberto Martinez may well be a little disappointed his side were denied three points for a second weekend, but there's no denying the belief and desire in his team - a massive positive to take from the game.Fingers Crossed: McCarthy leaves the field on a stretcherRoberto Martinez now faces an anxious wait to see the extent of James McCarthy's first half injury. The Scot was on the receiving end of a challenge from Fabrice Muamba which saw him stretchered off the pitch.Latics: Kirkland; Boyce (Stam, 52), Alcaraz, S.

"First Rate...Excellent Staff, We'll be Back...Highyly Recomnended"
We stayed at Villa Kaira Estate for a week in late May. Stunning large beachfront location and the photos on the website don't do it justice to be honest. Wayan the chef was sensational and was sensitive to a couple of guests who were fussy eaters, all his food was delicious. Definitely do the seafood bbq. Rest of the staff were super friendly and helpful and special mention to the driver Ketut who drove us everywhere and was very knowledgeable. He booked various restaurants and activities for our group too so it was all made super easy. We made use of the Canggu Club membership with the excellent water park and bounce trampoline park, our kids of various ages loved it! The booking process was efficient and easy, Craig was very helpful in installing some extra beds for the younger kids who all wanted to be in the same bedroom. All in all, a fantastic stay and we plan to return same time next year, we all can't wait. Thank you!

"Awesome wedding venue and retreat"
I found the staff absolutely amazing, the manager and assistant manager they were awesome in ensuring that everything went absolutely amazing. The house staff were efficient and unobtrusive providing 5 star service. I cannot rave enough about the personal chef. He prepared a meal for 12 people on short notice that was absolutely amazing and one of the best meals I have ever enjoyed in Bali. The drivers were there promptly and on time when requested and provided comforting travel throughout the stay. Thew owner of the Villa Craig Steeples was prompt with responses and provided exactly what was offered. Beautiful Villa luxurious, a perfect spot for our wedding. I highly recommend Villa Kaira to anyone.

"relaxing get-away"
pros: gracious staff and drivers, wonderful personal chef who prepared daily home-cooked meals, gorgeous landscape surrounded by nature and the sound of water, open floor plan, spacious gathering spaces--never felt too crowded, *spectacular* sunset views, the cabana by the pool was perfect for relaxing and sharing a meal cons: some of the aC in the rooms didn't work (but people were promptly sent to fix this problem), the upstairs guest bedroom's bath occasionally smelled of sewage the people and gorgeous landscape made this vacation rental a wonderful experience.
Response from the owner, Craig S. - 01/10/2014
Thank you for your kind review, I'm glad you also agree that Villa Kaira is a truly magical and special place with the most stunning sunsets. My favourite place of all is in the upstairs daybed/cabana although the one around the pool is amazing too! We do have engineers on hand to fix any issues at the villa quickly and efficiently. We have replaced two of the ACs with new units. We have resolved the smell in the guest bathroom. We sincerely hope you return to Villa Kaira in the very near future. Best wishes Craig

"Beautiful Bali vacation"
Positives: - beautiful sunsets views, lovely property and decor. - wonderful staff (in particular, Wayan, our chef, was very organized and talented. Kadek, our driver, was an expert at navigating the crazy traffic and got us everywhere safely) - great food and access to modern sports/fitness club. - location closer to local Balinese culture and people. - very easy to book in house massages, manicures, pedicures. - wifi available Negatives: - air conditioning only available in bedrooms. The main area were, at times, too humid and uncomfortable. - healthy population of ravenous mosquitoes (bring repellent!) - more electrical outlet adapters would be helpful.
Response from the owner, Craig S. - 01/10/2014
Thank you for your kind words and review. I've already passed your comments onto the staff and really enjoyed your group staying at Villa Kaira. The sunsets are truly breathtaking! The villa is in an enviable location being absolute beachfront on an exclusive, secure estate but very close to all the delights of central Seminyak with its excellent boutique shops, restaurants and nightlife! Wayan is an exceptional chef and we're very lucky to have him and we ensure all our drivers have a good knowledge of the island, restaurants, etc and speak good English too. Yes, the Canggu Club is a great sports and recreational facility for people of all ages. We do suppy insect repellant at the villa as we can't escape mosquitos on a tropical island but being next to the sea does we mean we suffer less than other areas. The villa is architecturally designed as a beachfront villa. With its huge atrium and impressive spiral staircase leading onto the substantial, open kitchen/dining/living area it is designed as a very social space and also for the constant cooling sea breezes to flow throughout the main house. There is very good AC in all the bedrooms, Entertainment Room and gym. We continually replace the plug adaptors and there's a good supply in there currently. We look forward to your return to Villa Kaira in the very near future. Best wishes Craig

"Absolutely Memorable Time!"
I rented Villa Kaira from 24 Nov till 4 Dec 2013 and had an absolutely memorable time. The villa was a pleasure to stay in, the staff equally as accommodating. We all had a holiday we will not forget. Thank you for everything. The owner Craig was both professional and courteous to deal with. We will definately be recommending the villa to any friends visiting Bali in the future. Kind regards, Sean Coughlan
Response from the owner, Craig S. - 12/15/2013
Hi Sean It was an absolute pleasure having your group stay with us. Thank you very much for your kind words and feedback. Please do get in touch the next time you visit Bali as we always give returning clients a good deal as a thank you for their continued business. Kind regards Craig

"Beautiful Villa and amazing Staff"
Hi Craig, I just wanted to touch base with and let you know what a fantastic time was had by all at Villa Kaira & Bali. Bali was never on my radar as a place to visit, but we had such a fantastic time, we are all wanting to go back. The Villa was amazing, the staff warm, friendly and courteous, and the weather was fabulous (although you have no control of the weather!) A special mention goes to Kadek, who was just great. He took us where we wanted to go, suggested ideas of places to go, organised and booked everything for us, he is a special person with a lovely personality. Another special mention is to Wyan. He was also wonderful. The food was amazing! It was just lovely to go on holidays and not have to worry about anything, food, shopping, cleaning, washing etc. Thank you for letting stay in your wonderful villa with wonderful people. We are looking forward to coming back in September 2015. I don't know if we can book that far in advance, but at this stage that is the plan. Thank you
Response from the owner, Craig S. - 10/10/2013
Dear Kate It was a pleasure hosting you at Villa Kaira. Thank you so much for your kind words about the villa and the staff. I've passed on your comments to the staff who loved looking after you all. All guests do rave about the quality of the cooking and Wayan the chef. We do recruit and train all our staff very carefully to ensure they have a very customer service and guest focussed approach. Kadek the driver is very special and very knowledgeable about the beautiful island of Bali. We very much look forward to your staying with us again in 2015 and, if you have dates in mind, please let me know and we can provisionally hold them for you in our 2015 calendar. We very much look forward to welcoming you to Bali again in the not too distant future. Kind regards Craig Villa Kaira

"Para Para Para-dise!"
I had to laugh when they said it was a villa, more like a mansion were the size of the living and bedrooms, that were clean and very well kept. From the upstairs bedrooms and pool area are great views of the multiple surf breaks between Canggu, Brawa heading north to Echo Beach, including the awesome west coast bali sunset! The cool thing about this location is that it's quiet and has a village feeling, where our villa driver was always ready to take us 5-10minutes drive into Seminyak where all the cool restaurants, bars, clubs, spas and shopping are located. We had 1 day where the weather wasn't great so we stayed in the villa enjoying some food cooked by our chef, cracked a few bottles of red that were stored in the wine fridge and kicked back watching movies in the theater room and playing snooker (I can understand a pool table in a villa, but a full sized snooker table!?!?). It was a shame no one knew how to play the piano as there is a grande centre piece in the living room!

"Two villas - Kaira and Nova. Perfect accommodation for an extend"
Craig and his team at Villa Kaira and Villa Nova could not have done anything more to make this one of the best family holidays we have had. The four sisters and our husbands and children have holidayed together many times but all agree this was the best. Some had been to Bali before, but not everyone. Craig employs fantastic Balinese people to provide the services for the week including cooking, cleaning and driving. We gave the house staff a menu each morning and some money for food and then each evening ate the best meals around - fresh and expertly prepared. Then the cleaning up was all done for us - allowing us time to spend with each other and enjoy our children's company - what a treat! Nyoman and Ketut in the kitchen were exceptionally helpful and accommodated the many breakfast requests for pancakes, omelettes and eggs each morning with patience and calm. Kadek, the driver was also our 'tour guide' and we relied heavily on his recommendations. He was exceptionally generous and patient and shared his insights into Balinese culture, always answering our (probably annoying) questions. Kadek was particularly keen for us to see beyond the 'Kuta' version of Bail. He recommended various places to go. Although there were plenty of 'tourist' items on the agenda - Waterbom, white water rafting and monkey forest to name a few, Kadek is only to happy to recommend some of the more 'authentic' Balinese experiences that may be a bit more off the beaten track. To get anywhere involves long stints in the van with the drivers so luckily they didn't mind our curious questions. We had not expected the drive into Seminyak and Kuta to take such a long time (depending on time of day, public holiday etc it can take upwards of an hour to Seminyak or two to Kuta). Although the teenagers would probably have preferred to be closer to the nightclubs, the adults were quite happy to be that bit further removed.
Response from the owner, Craig S. - 07/08/2013
Hi Jane Thank you so much for your lovely review and it was such a pleasure hosting your families at Villa Kaira and the next door Villa Nova on the Berawa Beach Estate. We do invest a lot of time and take pride in hiring excellent staff and training them to deliver first class customer service to our guests. It sounds like you made the best of what Bali has to offer and there really is so much fun for all the family, whatever their ages. Having the Suzuki APV people carrier vehicle and English speaking driver included in the rate always proves very popular. The drive to Seminyak is usually 10-15 minutes and Kuta around 30 minutes so I can only assume you must have got stuck in a traffic jam from an accident or road closure. The traffic around Kuta can be congested hence why a lot of people like to stay in Seminyak or with us on the Berawa Beach Estate in North Seminyak. The opening of the new dual carriageway underpass and also the toll road near the airport really is improving the road system here in Bali. We do hope you choose to stay with us again when you or any of your family members come to Bali in the future, we always offer returning clients a good deal. Kind regards Craig

"Balinese service and facilities an abiding memory"
Villa Kaira has all the physical attributes of Balinese beachfront luxury accommodation. But the attribute that was most meaningful to our large extended family group was the demeanor of the staff, in particular the driver Kapek and cook Waya. They allowed us to explore Balinese culture with gentleness, warmth and unobtrusive friendliness. The owners were professional and responsive. We have no reservations in recommending Villa Kaira.
Response from the owner, Craig S. - 07/06/2013
Thank you Professor Geffen for your very kind review. I've passed on your comments and feedback to the staff and they said what fun they had looking after your lovely family.

"Fantastic Villa - will stay here again!!"
We have just come home from spending 9 days at Villa Kaira and we miss it already. The house and gardens are beautiful. The kids loved feeding the fish every morning. Wayan our chef was always accommodating to our requests and the food was always cooked to perfection. I wanted to take him home. Cadek our driver was excellent too always smiling, helpful and has fantastic english. The other staff were great as well. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this villa to anyone. I hope that next time we go to Bali we can get enough people together so we can stay here again.

Dear Jade It was a pleasure hosting you at Villa Kaira last week. Thank you so much for your kind words about the villa and the staff. I've passed on your comments to the staff who loved looking after you all. All guests do rave about the quality of the cooking and the chef and we do recruit and train all our staff very carefully to ensure they have a very customer service and guest focussed approach. We very much look forward to your staying with us again and remember, we also exclusively manage both Villa Nova (3 bedrooms) and Villa La Mer (4 bedrooms) next to Villa Kaira on the Berawa Beach Estate should your group be a little smaller next time and the 5 bedroom Villa Kaira is a little too large. We very much look forward to welcoming you to Bali again in the not too distant future. Kind regards Craig Villa Kaira
