Chapter1 (v.1) - The Book by Lune
"You want to write a book about us?" asked Cristy. I nodded eagerly. "What kind of book is it?" asked Cristy. "Romance," I said. Cristy blushed, "No way, that's so embarrassing!" she exclaimed. Kasey laughed lightly next to her. "Come on Cris, it'll be fun," he said. "I don't know, why us?" asked Cristy. "Because I decided that I want to write a different kind of love story," I said bluntly, "not one where the main characters are all over each other all the time or one of those love hate relationship ones but a new kind, about a pure kind of love." Now they were both blushing. "P-pure?" asked Cristy. "I don't know if I would say that," said Kasey. Cristy nodded. "Please Cristy? I'll owe you forever!" I begged. "What the hell," she said with a sigh, "what do you want to know?" Prologue Love: an intense feeling of tender affection and compassion; a word that spans all the nations and has survived the test of time. It hurts me that today such a word has been corrupted. Everyone wants it so badly but who's brave enough to give it? More and more, relationships are based on appearances and sex instead of raw emotion. What's worse is that these so called relationships are formed earlier and earlier. Kids are rushing to be "in love" without even knowing what the words truly mean. This story is about a different kind of love that's so rare nowadays. Chapter One-How Kasey met Cristy A little girl with dark brown hair and blue eyes sat quietly in the snow when out of nowhere something hit the side of her head. She wiped the icy snow off her cheek and hugged her knees. The crunching of snow alerted her to an approaching person. "Are you okay?" asked a little boy with light brown hair and brown eyes, Cristy recognized him as one of her classmates. "Did I hit someone?" asked another little boy running up. "Yeah, you hit her," said the first little boy. "I'm sorry," said the second little boy. "It's okay," mumbled the little girl. "Okay! Come on! The others are waiting!" said the second little boy, running back in the direction he came. The first little boy didn't move. "Aren't you going?" asked the little girl. "No, I'm tired," he said, sitting down next to the girl. They sat in silence for a bit until the little boy spoke, "I'm Kasey." "I know," said the little girl, "I'm Cristy." "I know," replied Kasey.

"The Five Greatest Warriors Doesn't Miss A Beat"
At last the conclusion of Matthew Reilly's Jack West Jr. series has come and all bets are off. When last we saw the bold Australian adventure, he was plummeting down into an endless darkness towards a terrible death and the rest of his team made up in 'Minos', are in disarray. Any disappointment loyal readers felt at this stunted end to the Six Sacred Stones, has been appeased in this final installments.
Against the tightest of deadlines, the 'Minos' stumbles on against their evil rivals (including Jack's father) to prevent them in gaining control of the 'Machine' and the gifts it bestows.
Jack must lead his team over continents, into the clutches of ancient traps and at the rise of planets and moons, they will come face to face with the 5th warrior.
The gory and intensity of the first two installments are continued in The Five Greatest Warriors, no doubt much to the delight of fans. While Reilly adheres to many of the adventuring trilogy staples, he definitely throws some surprises at his readers. One of the things I like most about this series, is that the main character is Australian; brave and clever, without falling into the usual stereotypes. I am very much hoping that the next Jack West Jr. tales will be near in the future. In perfect Reilly style, this trilogy is concluded leaving your glued to your seat until the last page without missing a beat.
I hate reading them but love listening to books. I have a great love of fitness motivational and action fiction
"Another fantastic story"
There is some glitchy audio where words get cut and the book's rhythm is lost however; doesn't take away from the all over story, but that is the bad. Great book, consumed it in two days. I love the way this guy writes. hardcore action. All the characters feel so real. I loved the entire journey. Now for the next one.
"Whens the next one out? "
cannot wait for the next one
it's agony......hurry up please please please
very big fan here :-)
"A pure joy to read/listen to"
Completely addictive, I couldn't stop listening to this story and can't wait to begin the next story!
"flawless! "
flawless! this series is a true masterpiece. highly recommend to anyone interested in history and adventure.
"authentic Reilly."
he retains his awesome storytelling ability here, regular readers will not be disappointed. Yay Reilly!
"Love It!!"
This is such a great series and the narrator is amazing. A must read/listen for action junkies.
"A fabulous conclusion"
All ends neatly tied in this final slice of Jack West's adventures. Hugely entertaining. I found it thoroughly absorbing too.
"Great Ending"
Sad to have this book trilogy to end but it was great up to the last page. I hope they make a movie from the book series and can't wait for further book trilogies to come.
"Classic Reilly does it again!"
Matthew has done it again. The detail in the book and they way it's read actually allows you to picture it just like watching a movie. Great work!
"Who is the fifth?"
This is an excellent finish to brilliant series of fast paced action adventure. Well narrated by Sean Mangan and brilliantly written and researched by Matthew Reilly. Who is the fifth great warrior? Listen and read the final book in the series that began with Seven Ancient Wonders to find out. Who will gain the ultimate power over life and death? Can Jack, Lily and their team save the world again?
"Kept me on the treadmill longer than planned"
I've only listened to Matthew Reilly books and I'm sad to say I've done them all and am at a loss for what to do at the gym next. Love audio books, really enjoyed the narrator... great way to make gym time disappear way too quicly
"great book"
As usual I enjoyed this latest book by Matthew Reilly. Parts of it are pretty unbelievable, but it is an adventure book. Great listening.
"Indiana Jones - Military Style"
I'm not one for military books, I find them too gung-ho, but I absolutely loved this book and the series. Some of Jack's efforts are far fetched, but Matthew Reilly's ability to draw you in, with so much detail and plausible scenarios. I found it very much like an Indiana Jones movie except with an ex_Special Forces lead character who wants to save the world, along with his entertaining sidekicks. I couldn't get enough of the story, and had trouble turning it off, once you get used to Sean Mangan's voice. Overall, I definitely recommend this

|Re: Flex 5 in haxe
|Sat, 17 Nov 2012 13:14:58 GMT
Has anyone tried to make a bridge between Apache Flex and Apache Cordova? I mean generating an Apache Cordova HTML5/JS application from a Flex Mobile MXML/AS3 application (at least for a subset of Flex Mobile components e.g. views & transitions, lists, input controls, native APIs access, web service access, etc.) Apache Cordova has the advantage to be able to target 7 different mobile OS and of course is open source. For the UI controls, it is possible to use different librairies (JQuery UI, Twitter Bootstrap, etc.) Maybe it is also an other way to consider in order to be able to deploy Flex Mobile applications to mobile devices without the use of Air runtime? Nils NB: Concerning desktop applications, Flash Player remains, in my opinion, the best way to deploy cross-browser applications. 2012/11/17 Maxime Cowez <email@example.com> > > Are developers on this list still able to earn a living building new > Flex apps, or are you maintaining old ones? > > I was actually hired 9 months ago by my current company to set up a new > Flex development branch, as they wanted a share of the market in that area. > As such I am mainly creating new "enterprise" apps for government clients > so I can take full advantage of Spark and don't have to worry about legacy > too much.

What My Wife And I Argued About Tonight
DCeiver: You know what I don't understand?
Wife of DCeiver: What?
DCeiver: Sting.
Wife of DCeiver: Sting?
DCeiver: Sting. The sword Frodo uses in the Lord Of The Rings. It's dumb.
Wife of DCeiver: It's not dumb.
DCeiver: It's dumb.
Wife of DCeiver: Why is it dumb.
DCeiver: Think about it. It GLOWS when orcs are near.
Wife of DCeiver: That's not dumb, that's useful.
DCeiver: That's not useful, it's lethal.
Wife of DCeiver: It warns you if orcs are near.
DCeiver: No. It's dark. You have Sting out. It glows. Orcs are also in the dark. They see Sting glowing. They come and kill you.
Wife of DCeiver: What if it's not dark.
DCeiver: It still glows! It glows. Motherfuckers see it glow. Orcs come, they kill you.
Wife of DCeiver: You can put the sword in its sheath, nobody sees it.
DCeiver: Great, then, orcs find you some other way, your dumbass sword is SHEATHED, they kill you because your sword isn't out. Your sword isn't out, because it fucking glows.
Wife of DCeiver: Well, when it glows, you can say, "Woah, better get out of here."
DCeiver: Then it shouldn't be a weapon.
Wife of DCeiver: What?
DCeiver: It shouldn't be a sword! If the swords most useful function is to tell you when to run away, it's not much of a sword. It's like, a sword that totally pussies out of fighting orcs.
Wife of DCeiver: Dude, talk to the elves.
Also, why are indestructible ring-wraiths afraid of fire? Never made any sense to me.

Reviews For Rosemary Hand Soap
Based on 5 Reviews
Great product
Have been super happy with all the Mrs Meyer products. This one does not disappoint either. Great job, great scent
- Lisa
So happy with this purchase, good scent and such a great handsoap for someone looking for a "cleaner" clean
- Alma
Fresh, Light Scent - Not Cloying
This is my favorite of this brand's hand soaps. The scent is light, smells great and isn't cloying. Some of the other scents - like honeysuckle - stick to your hands.
- Laura
Best Scent Yet
This soap is a favorite of ours, but this scent specifically is my top fave now! It reminds me of a spa - very beautiful and luxurious smelling.
- Megan
Great hand soap!
This soap feels better on my hands that any of the usual store brand I have bought. After using the soap my skin actually feel smoother and healthier than it did before. Sort of like if I put lotion on my hands, but without any residue that lotions normally have. The scent is nice, but not overbearing.

|SensoGlove. More Than Just a Better Grip for Golfing
Estimates on the number of golfers worldwide range from 80 million to over 200 million. Golf, which dates back to the 15th century, can be one of the most exciting games but demands patience, dedication and perseverance to succeed.
One of the most difficult aspects of the game is to produce a smooth, accurate and powerful swing and the most common fault is for beginners to hold the club too firmly and with uneven pressure.
Many beginners hold the club too tight, perhaps fearful that it will slip from their hands as they swing. But the ideal grip, as described by arguably one of golf's greatest players, Sam Snead, should be like "holding a baby bird."
Holding the club too tight causes tenseness and stiffness, resulting in low power and inaccuracy, while a lighter grip produces a smooth and rhythmical swing, and less stress on the golfer both physically and mentally.
Now golfers at all levels have the opportunity to actually monitor their grip on the golf club in order to achieve that perfect swing, with the SensoGlove.
As the name suggests, the SensoGlove uses 4 built-in digital sensors to enable the golfer to see exactly how much pressure is being applied to the club. The SensoGlove looks and feels like a normal golf glove, but has a small computer which simply plugs in to a socket on the glove to analyse the sensor information and provide an audible signal when the grip exceeds a selected level.
The grip can be set at 18 different levels, suitable for all aspects of playing the game, including driving, chipping and putting. Not only does the SensoGlove operate during the power swing, but it reads the pressures during the address, backswing and follow-through.
By taking the SensoGlove out to the practice range, the golf player can use the audible warning signal to determine the lightest grip consistent with a smooth, powerful swing. The ideal settings can then be stored in the small computer used by the SensoGlove.
|The SensoGlove is just one of a range of golf gadgets designed to improve your game. You could also invest in a device to help you find the so-called "sweet spot" on your golf ball. The Check-Go Sweet Spot Finder measures the ball and determines where the ball should be hit to obtain the optimum results. Or perhaps a Golf Power Meter, which attaches to your golf club and tells you what your golf swing speed should be for best results.
Of course, if the thought of all these gadgets is too much, you could always stay at home and play Tiger Woods PGA Tour on your PS3, Wii or Xbox.

Rangers rough up Eagles I v Quick Hits Smithson Valley wins Uvalde Tournament Smithson Valley's boys basketball team beat Uvalde, 65-42, in the finals of Uvalde Tournament on Friday to capture the title. In the semifinals, the Rangers defeated West Campus 66-54 and in the opening round they defeated Corrizo Springs, 86-44. Josh Niles was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player. Chase Shipley and Jecon Brown each earned "All-Tournament" honors. Badgers burn Bruins 21-20 in Sun Bowl EL PASO (AP) — Humbled, injured, taunted and tired, Jamar Fletcher still got in the last word on UCLA receiver Freddie Mitchell. "We got the win, so we all got the last laugh," Wisconsin's star cornerback said after his midfield interception with a minute left preserved the Badgers' 21-20 victory over the battered Bruins in the Sun Bowl. Mitchell walked away with the MVP award after catching nine passes for a Sun Bowl-record 180 yards, including a 64-yard TD reception. Fletcher, the Jim Thorpe Award winner as the nation's top defensive back, stepped in front of Brian Poli-Dixon at midfield for his seventh interception of the season and his first big play in an afternoon filled with frustration. Deaton scores 17 in SVs 63-58 win over Luling By Bryan Adams Sports Editor Smithson Valley senior post Patrice Deaton caught fire in the fourth quarter to carry the Rangers to a 63-58 win over the Luling Lady Eagles on Friday at SVHS. Deaton scored all of her nine second-half points in the fourth quarter and finished with a game-high 17 to help the Rangers improve their record to 14-4 this season. The Lady Eagles, who never led in the fourth period, cut the Rangers' lead to 58-56 with 1:30 remaining in the game before Contessa Steen had a chance to tie it at the free throw line with 37 seconds on the clock. She missed both free throws. Smithson Valley junior Harmony Schwethelm grabbed the rebound on the second miss and was fouled. She hit the first one and missed the second one, but Deaton was there for the offensive rebound. Deaton scored off the rebound and was foul. She completed the three-point play to give the Rangers a 62-56 lead. "I knew we had to get that rebound," said Deaton, who also grabbed a game-high 12 rebounds. "I knew if I hit that free throw we would put them away." The Rangers overcame a 37-33 halftime deficit. "We tried to stay calm and force the ball inside in the second half," Deaton said. "That's been one of our biggest problems this year is being patient with the offense." After a very physical first half, Smithson Valley came out of the locker room at halftime with more See RANGERS/2B Y2K brought many memorable moments in sports to NB Almost every year near the end of December, at almost every newspaper or magazine, sports fanatics like myself try to analyze the year gone by and pick out the best moments. No matter what the topic is, readers love to learn what the experts think was the best. People love top IO lists and countdowns. As a reader, I agree. Perhaps it is the German in me that wants to rank everything and put everything in order. But, when you are the one trying to recall 365 days of sports, it's not as fun as some people might think. It is inevitable that someone will disagree with me and Bryan Adams A wTg. k WL—— »•- argue that something else should have made the list. Maybe that is why people love top TO lists so much. Maybe it is the debate that draws people's attention. Whatever the case may be, here is this year's top IO sports stories in New Braunfels for the year 2000. ■ 10. District realignment: Just making it under the wire as one of the top IO sports stories in 2000 was the new' District 27-4A. This year was not just another year of district realignment for the people of Comal County. Heated rivalries came to a boil in all sports as the New Braunfels Unicorns, Canyon Cougars and Smithson Valley Rangers were thrown into the same district. ■ 9. New head football coaches/ athletic directors: As often as districts change, some high schools change their coaching staffs almost as often. The year 2000 not only marked the new beginning of one Comal County football team, but two. New Braunfels hired within and picked Rick Rhoades as their new head coach and athletic director. Canyon, who was looking for their third new head football coach and athletic director in four years, went out and got Brad Wright. And thus, a new era of football at two schools began. ■ 8.

Harrington had three straight comple- Longhorns quack under pressure By Bernie Wilson AP Sports Writer SAN DIEGO (AP) — Now this was a Holiday Bowl. • There were big plays, hard hits and a huge performance by Oregon quarterback Joey Harrington, who had his hand in four touchdowns as the No. 8 Ducks beat No. 12 Texas 35-30 on Friday night in another wild Holiday Bowl. And it wasn't settled until a desperation pass by Texas sophomore Chris Simms fell incomplete in the end zone as time ran out. tions to set up the winning score, a 4-yard end-around by Jason Willis with 5:46 left. Harrington came out fired up, seemingly intent on atoning for his six turnovers in a devastating 23-13 loss to Oregon State that cost the Ducks the Pacific-IO Conference's Rose Bowl berth. Texas helped make it exciting, but in the wrong way. The Longhorns moved to the Ducks' 22 with about three minutes to play, but their two heralded freshmen wide receivers, BJ. Johnson and Roy Williams, each dropped a pass in the end zone. The Longhorns got the ball back with 1:37 to play when De'Andre Lewis recovered a fumble on a botched handoff. But two plays later, cornerback Rashad Bauman capped a big game by the Ducks' defense with an interception at the 16. It wasn't over yet, though. Oregon took a safety with 21 seconds left and the free kick went to the Texas 37. The Longhorns got to the Ducks' 39 before Simms' final pass. Simms, son of former New York Giants quarterback Phil Simms, finished with four interceptions. The No. 18 Wildcats (8-3) haven't been to a bowl game since playing Tennessee in the Citrus Bowl following the 1996 season. Northwestern won the Big Ten title in 1995 and went to the Rose Bowl, but before that had not played in a bowl since the 1948 Rose. The Comhuskers have played in 39 See ALAMO BOWL/2B By Doug Alden AP Sports Writer SAN ANTONIO — Bowl games are an annual ritual at Nebraska. For Northwestern, a postseason appearance is a little more of a rarity with a total of three. Saturday's Alamo Bowl against Nebraska will be Northwestern's fourth. "I've addressed that with them. It's like Babes in Toyland or kids in a candy store — this is so atypical, so out of our routine that you just don't know what to expect," coach Randy Walker said Friday. "I think we've started to get grounded pretty well." The matchup itself is a little out of the ordinary: Northwestern, which until the mid-1990s was the perennial understudy in the Big Ten, facing No. 9 Nebraska (9-2), which won three national titles in the '90s and hasn't had a losing season since 1961. ;

Reading your PoemsMature
I sit here lonely as ever,
Browsing the wide web,
I remember all the times with you,
What was done and said.
I can't stop myself from looking,
At your Tumblr page,
I've done you over so wrong,
But that I have to face.
I know I've really hurt you,
And I wish I could turn back time,
To where we were so happy,
A different world, different life.
Now reality crashes,
And I start to shake,
Is this just a nightmare,
Will I ever wake?
I know reading your poems,
Doesn't help me cope,
But at the very least,
It gives me a glimmer of hope.
I really wish the best for you,
And your wounds to soon heal,
If I were in your shoes,
I don't know how I'd feel.
Regret is a strong word,
But appropriate somehow,
I don't want you back,
But I want you with me now.
Going out was too much hassle,
Relationships aren't my thing,
But how can I run away from this?
You make me wanna sing.
I shouldn't really dwell on it,
I might start to cry,
The realisation I lost you,
Makes me wanna die.

Dance the Wolf and PhoenixMature
The freezing cold water screamed against his skin as the bulbous door man threw huge buckets over his naked form but he was glad of it, he hadn't a clue how long he'd been in the fever, or how long he'd been in his cell but by the smell of his clothes it had been a while. As he dried the red haired wolf girl walked in carrying a fresh pair of leather breeches and a thick satin tunic, seeing him naked startled her for just a second before her cheeks flared red and she looked away. 'Here,' he said blindly handing him the folded clothes. 'They're thick and strong they should keep you warm as we ascend the Fang.' He took them without a word and she left, never looking to him again. Gartell had gone to fetch him a towel to dry himself but by the time he'd returned the heat of his own body had virtually done that himself. Two men dressed him, one holding him down the other unclasping the chains one limb at a time. It took nearly twenty minutes in total but he didn't mind. 'Up!' prodded Gartell with his staff. Tywin gathered he wasn't particularly bright, he barely spoke and when he did his words were slow and cumbersome. Combine that with his lackwit expression cast across his broad flat face every second.
Tywin did as he was bid and walked clumsily up the steep set of stone stairs. Soon enough a bright light shone from the top, then he was out in fresh air, the cold breeze slapping him in the face as gently as a girls hand against his cheek. The red wolf was waiting for him, arms folded across her chest, staring out over the winding streets of the Fang. Even he had to admit, it was a stunning city. Gray stone buildings of every size imaginable from tiny one story houses to huge grand mansions and inns that could hold up to one hundred people at a time littered the hard frozen ground. Children darted in the streets laughing loudly while they played Knight and Monster, many had black or red hair, those were the most common on White Isle but the occasional one had hair of spun gold or dark woody brown. 'Welcome to the Fang.' Tywin grunted.
'Stone buildings filled with children, and I heard stories of a huge spear of rock made by the gods...do any northmen ever speak truth?' he asked smiling at her.
'Turn around Ser Knight,' she said with a smug expression. He turned thinking she was bluffing...she wasn't bluffing. The huge spire of rock stretched so high into the sky Tywin could barely see the large carved hall at it's very peak, it was just a simple pin prick in the light blue sky. But all around it a great path spiralled to its peak, and around this street in the sky were shops, smithies, houses, halls and garrisons. Its sheer scale made Tywin feel tiny, Jade Isle had nothing like this, nothing. 'Walk.' the red wolf smiled.
'Of course,' he said politely. 'May I have you name now that you know mine and have seen me naked?' he asked turning to her. She smiled but remained silent. Stubborn wench I'll give her that? 'I have to call you something, a knight's courtesy to a lady of the Fang. I could call you Fang if you'd like? No...maybe...Wench! Not that either...how about...Red Wolf for your fiery hair?' she remained quiet as the path suddenly steepened. Tywin was all too aware of the eyes staring at him as he hobbled past taking only tiny strides that the chain allowed. 'You know you are quite comely without that blue on your face...or the blood, is that a new makeup trend in the north? Enemies blood to brighten up the cheeks? Because I have to admit it's not a habit that's moved south.'
'Shur' it donkey!' spat Garlett slamming the butt of his staff in his rips, gritting his teeth in pain as his wound throbbed horribly, the path in front of him spinning three-sixty.
'All ready have pet names for each other...how cute.' smiled the stubborn red wolf.
'Oh yes...he calls me than on account of my enormous cock! I'm sure you saw it.' he said with a small smile, shaking his head to clear it.
'Is that what passes for enormous with the southren maids?' Tywin looked back at her and smiled. You win this round bitch. Blindingly putting one foot in front of the other Tywin soon found himself at the top, the clouds just level with the grand stone hall with its huge oak doors and colossal sandstone pillars, the clouds looked like a strange extension to the mountain. A garden of white cotton that grew birds instead of flowers. 'Thank you Gartell you can leave us now.' smiled the red wolf. The simple doorman bowed his head with a coughed 'mi'lady' before heading back down to his dungeons.
'What now crone? You going to throw me off?'
'It's certainly a good idea...I always wondered if the Phoenix Knights could fly.'
'Take these chains off me I'll show you exactly what I can do sweetling.' he said pulling his hands apart sending a sharp ring through the air as the chain forced him into submission, the red wolf didn't even flinch.
'Ser Tywin,' said a deep voice behind them. Turning his head Cannis Wolfborn stood before him, huge and powerful in his light leathered armour, dark hair waving down his back like a great coal waterfall. His face certainly had character. With a jaw like an anvil and a hard nose as well he was not unhandsome, but he looked more rugged and hardy than other men Tywin had seen down south with his scared arms and the huge starsteel great sword resting across his shoulder.
'High Lord Cannis, pleasure, and it's just Tywin...I'm no ser.' he said harshly.
'I assume you are not unhappy with your accommodation and treatment here in my city.' he said taking a step towards the two squabbling adolescents.
'No I have many a rat to keep me company and me and Gartell are becoming very friendly indeed, my friend hear was just taking me on a guided tour. You have a beautiful city, I'll try to keep most of it standing once I take it.' he smiled nonchalantly.
'Mind you words very carefully boy,' warned the huge lord. Tywin was well over six foot three, four in his heeled boots, but Cannis loomed over him like a huge tree, all spindly legs and muscled arms and chest.
'I do Lord Cannis, I have come here to negotiate my release. Me and you in a trial by combat, I win all you have to do is release me and then send me on my way back home.'
'Do you think I was born yesterday son?'
'With that face no ser,' he smiled. For one agonising moment Tywin thought Cannis was going the strangle him but the look of madness in his eyes broke and he just laughed and laughed.
'Come boy...my lord father wishes to have words with the great Phoenix knight before we decide your fate.' a heavy hand smacked him hard onto the shoulder making his stumble slightly and pain lance up his leg. Cannis lead him down a small passageway to the side of the carved hall, his huge hand forever gripping his shoulder, the red wolf trailing behind. The small chapel was brightly lit by a huge chandelier made from either moose or elk antler, with white wax candles sticking on the prongs of the bones. But his eyes were drawn to the huge mosaic like art work on the far wall, the huge Ice Leopard depicted in what looked like unpolished diamonds and other stones he didn't recognise. Other hunters decorated the back ground, and one in the foreground. Even with his back to Tywin he could still recognise the distinctive shape of the Lone Wolf.
'Lord Harrad what a pleasure.' smiled Tywin walking between the three rows of pews.
'And to you Phoenix Knight, I'm very glad you are here, I have things I think you need to know...'
'Oh really?' he asked spinning to face him...he paused. The eyes that greeted him were nothing like he'd heard about, they weren't sharp pieces of flint that bored into the very depths of your bones...they were gray pools with black centres. Unseeing. 'Your eyes Lord Harrad...'
'Taken from me by the snow glare. No worry of yours young man.' Tywin shook himself free of the sudden feeling of pity for the man.
'Release me,' he said quickly.
'I shall, I just want to tell you one thing and then you are free to walk out of my sons city gates without any harm done to you.' said the old wolf softly with a small smile.
'Father,' Cannis hissed angrily but his father silenced him with a hand.
'I don't care to here northern words, release me now so I can get back to my king,' he said pushing his arms out. Harrad lifted his head, scanning his entire body with gray unseeing eyes.
'Cannis,' he breathed. Reluctantly the huge lord stepped forward and began unclasping the manacles around his hands and ankles. 'I guarantee you Tywin you will leave but come straight back after hearing this,'
'Sure,' he said rubbing his wrists where the rough metal had rubbed them sore. When the last one was off he bowed dutifully towards the lords and lady before heading for the exit.
'It's about your Grandmother,' Harrad spoke up just as his hand hit the door. He stopped dead in his tracks, eyes bearing into the rough brown wood.
'About how your men killed her?' he spat.
'My boy,' smiled the old wolf. 'Why would I wish to harm my own sister?' That lone sentence seemed to hang in the air for well over a minute, every fibre of Tywin's body tensed, even if it caused him pain.
'You're lying!' he yelled. Harrad sighed, his shoulders slumping slightly.
'I wish that I were Tywin, but Caitlin Wolfborn was my sister, my only surviving sibling after my brothers were killed.' the Long Wolf turned in his pew. 'Sit Tywin, and I will tell you everything we know...'

By Eileen Ng, Associated Press Writer
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia Police arrested a Malaysian opposition lawmaker and two journalists on Friday under a law that can keep them detained indefinitely without trial, sparking fears of a major government crackdown on dissent at a time the opposition is trying to seize power.
Opposition parties denounced the arrests as a violation of human rights and a setback to democracy.
Online commentator Raja Petra Raja Kamarudin, who is a well-known anti-government activist, was the first to be detained under the Internal Security Act, a widely criticized law that provides for the arrest of those suspected of threatening national security. His wife Marina Lee Abdullah said police picked him up at their home.
Hours later, police arrested Tan Chee Hoon, a reporter with Chinese-language daily Sin Chew, in northern Penang state after earlier warning her paper that it could be shut down for its coverage of sensitive issues. Opposition lawmaker Teresa Kok was the third to be detained near her home in a Kuala Lumpur suburb.
Police gave no reason in any of the arrests, which come as Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi faces renewed pressure from his ruling party to resign. Tensions have also risen amid a threat by opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim to topple the government by Tuesday.
"Invoking the ISA just days before September 16 is clearly an attempt to engineer an atmosphere of fear and instability," Anwar said in a statement.
"By sanctioning the use of the ISA to avert the process of transformational change in Malaysia, the ... government is confirming that it has lost touch with the will of the people," he said.
Lim Guan Eng, secretary-general of the another opposition party, the Democratic Action Party, called the arrests "a travesty of justice."
"It's a desperate act to cling on to power," said Lim.
The developments underscored the increasing sense of political insecurity in a country that has long been considered one of Southeast Asia's most stable territories.
Raja Petra has infuriated authorities by publishing numerous claims about alleged misdeeds by government leaders on his Web site, Malaysia Today. The government has denounced many of Raja Petra's accusations as lies.
Home Minister Syed Hamid Albar said Raja Petra had written numerous offensive pieces, including a recent one that allegedly ridiculed Islam.
The arrests come just a day after authorities lifted a two-week ban on Malaysia Today. The ban sparked a public outcry, with many accusing the government of censoring cyberspace.
Though it lifted the ban, the government has warned it will use the Internal Security Act against anyone who stokes political and racial strife.
Raja Petra has repeatedly encountered troubles with the law. He was charged with sedition in May for allegedly implying the deputy prime minister was involved in the killing of a young Mongolian woman.
Sin Chew reporter Tan reported comments by a Malay Muslim ruling party politician last month who described ethnic Chinese minority as "squatters" and accused them of hungering for power. The remarks sparked outrage nationwide, and the politician was suspended by Abdullah's party.
Lawmaker Kok has allegedly complained about the noise of morning prayers from a mosque in her electorate.
"This is the start of a major crackdown. We are seeing Abdullah flexing his muscle to show he can be a strong leader," said James Chin, a political science professor at Monash university in Malaysia.
Abdullah has promised to hand power to his deputy, Najib Razak, in mid-2010 but he is battling growing demands from dissidents in his own party to resign earlier.
His National Front coalition lost its two-thirds parliamentary majority in March elections. Anwar has said he will oust the government with parliamentary defections this month. He needs at least 30 government lawmakers on his side to take over.

I really thought I was awake, laying in bed slowly coming around from my deep slumber.
I could feel my hands under the quilt becoming warmer and warmer to the point where they started to burn.
Such was the intense heat that I opened my eyes and held my hands out above the quilt to look at them.
It was at this point that I could see my hands ablaze.
Flames shooting up from my fingers I start to panic and franticly wave them in an attempt to distinguish the inferno.
I wake up and find myself at my mums house.
I open the front door and walk out into the sunshine closing the door behind me I realise I've locked myself out and no one is inside.
Out of a car on my mums driveway exits Franky Knuckles my supervisor from work. He just smiles when I tell him we are locked out.
I run at speed around the corner house that is attached to my mums, into the rear garden and dive, flying through a gap in the fence and land at my mums back door. I enter the unlocked door.
I open the front door to let Knuckles in only to find he is now my dad. He smiles at me and goes into the house.

19355722 - SP383 Chevrolet 383 cu. in. Deluxe Long-Block Crate Engine
435 hp @ 5,600 rpm / 445 lb.-ft. @ 4,600 rpm
More stroke, more size, more cam, more power. More is better. Get MORE!
Chevrolet's engineers continue to refine the classic Chevy V8 for even greater performance and this stroked Small Block is their latest triumph. Improved Fast Burn cylinder heads and a specific high-flow aluminum intake manifold combined with the extra cubic inches from the longer stroke, push horsepower and torque to 445!
The updated aluminum heads feature 2.00/1.55-inch valves, a unique combustion chamber design and LS-style beehive valve springs for greater high-rpm performance and durability. A hydraulic roller camshaft with more the 0.500-inch lift optimizes the airflow enabled by the high-flow head design.
The SP383 is built with a brand-new block featuring four-bolt main caps. It also features a forged steel crankshaft, and that aggressive camshaft mentioned above as well as durable high-silicon pistons. Unique valve covers distinguish the engine from previous versions and it now includes a high-flow, aluminum intake manifold!
Use a Holley 770-cfm four-barrel carburetor (P/N 19170093) to make the most of the engine's capability and reproduce the quoted performance numbers. A distributor, wires, plugs and some additional components are required to finish the assembly – all available from Karl Performance Parts!

Ron MoakMember
We announced this at the GGG last weekend, but I thought the general BPL audience would also like to know. Brian Frankle has joined Six Moon Designs as Director of Pack Designs. Together, he and I are developing a new architecture for the next generation of backpacks.
We are really excited about the new architectural pack design and what it holds for the future. We'll be announcing actual pack details in the coming months as they get closer to production.

From ULA Website:
"Ultralight Adventure Equipment was established in 2001, 2 years after Brian Frankles' thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail. At that time a few other companies existed that catered to ultralight backpacking enthusiasts, but the majority of innovation was coming from home-based creative folks that happened to have some sewing skill, a copy of Ray Jardine's, "A Pacific Crest Trails Hiker Handbook," and an internet connection to share their ideas with the online trail community. While planning and hiking the PCT, Brian was caught between the intrigue of Jardine's techniques and the traditional approach to backpacking upon which his prior experiences were based. He began his 2500 mile journey northbound from Mexico with a 25 lb base weight and a stomach full of anxiety. Brian strolled into Canada with a 12 lb base weight and the feeling that the world of long distance hiking was wide open.
After a one year apprenticeship with a local pack make, Brian took the skills he had developed and struck out on his own, designing gear that would address the needs of ultralight and lightweight hikers as well as transitioning traditionalists…a balanced compromise of comfort, function, and durability. The original gear (P-1 and P-2 Packs) were received warmly by the distance hiking community and ULA-Equipment quickly established itself as a provider of functional, durable equipment…albeit a slow provider! A 4 month backlog was standard , but the customers were incredibly gracious, recognizing that Brian was one man with one sewing machine, working hard and doing his best. In the ensuing years, Brain created packs that became the gold standard for through hikers. His first hand knowledge and backpacking skills made him one of the most respected authorities in the world of ultra light equipment."Jan 29, 2013 at 11:40 am #1948450

That's awesome! Maybe we can get an updated version of the old Relay. I'm bummed I never bought one before they were discontinued, it seems like it would have been perfect for the trail work I do.
I actually just purchased and Borah Gear Stealth to replace a circa 2007 Conduit that's finally worn out. I'm excited to see what the collaboration of Ron and Brian brings. A Swift was on my short list before I bought the Stealth.

Wonderful! I have wondered what Brian was up to since he sold ULA. Does that mean that Brian is moving to the Portland area? If so, welcome! If you haven't yet discovered http://www.portlandhikers.org, it's a great area (Oregon and SW Washington) hiking forum with an excellent Field Guide to many local trails.
I look forward to great things happening with this combination. I might even end up buying a new pack, even though my SMD Comet (2005 model bought in early 2006) is still holding up just fine!Jan 29, 2013 at 12:17 pm #1948459

@danepackerLocale: Mojave Desert
As a chronic pessimist when it comes to pack design I have a some food for a pack designer's thought:
1. There are no comfortable packs – only packs that are less uncomfortable than others.
2. Pack design, like economics, is a "dismal science". Too many variables to account for. (Of course an adjustable length harness is a big help, as is a "cutout" in the hipbelt for one's iliac crest.)
3. Internal frames are (usually) better than external frames. But "framesheets" are almost useless for load transfer.
4. A frameless pack is miserable beyond 15 lbs. (Jus' sayin'.)
5. Any pack that does not permit the addition of aftermarket side pockets is limiting itself.
6. Pack bottom fabric MUST be very abrasion resistant.
7. A backpack W/O lift straps is cheap and uncomfortable.
8. Finally, a pack W/O the option of a removavle top lid/fanny pack also limits the owner's packing & day tripping options.
Of course most of this applies to backpacks as opposed to daypacks.
Do I sound curmudgeonly?
Do hip belts make my belly seem fat?
Do Lycra pants make my thighs look too big?
Should I write to Dear Abby instead of BPL?
Anyway Brian, good luck with "The Dismal Science". We'll be hoping for an almost comfortable pack from SMD.

Managing Californias Water: From Conflict to Reconciliation
Current water policies have not met diverse and growing demands for water supply reliability and quality, flood protection, or ecosystem health. The result is heightening conflict among competing parties. To move toward sustainable water management, California should consider a wide-ranging set of reforms. This half-day event, coinciding with the release of a new PPIC report, Managing California's Water: From Conflict to Reconciliation, brings together the authors and other noted water experts to discuss key elements of water policy reform.

Charity Highlight
We love chucking paint and making people smile, but we also think it is important to give back. As a for profit company, we are excited we have the opportunity to partner with charities and help shine a light on their extraordinary work within society.
We are thrilled to be working with Back on My Feet.
Back on My Feet is a national for-purpose 501(c)3 organization that uses running to help those experiencing homelessness change the way they see themselves so they can make real change in their lives that results in employment and independent living. The organization's mission is not to create runners within the homeless population, but to use running to create self-sufficiency in the lives of those experiencing homelessness. The program's success is measured by how many Members obtaining independence through employment, job training, and housing. Through dedication and hard work, Residential Members (those experiencing homelessness) earn the opportunity to create a new road for themselves. Running leads to personal transformation and dedication to the program leads to access to training, employment and housing resources. Through community and corporate support, the program strives to change the perception of homelessness.

Rhyley (19): Real love?Mature
Rhyley was gazing into Sandra's eyes, and she was gazing back unembarrassed. She reached out and lightly stroked the back of his right hand. The air felt electrified... and not in the way it did when he had shut the door of either his bedroom or that of a girl he had the intention of making love to. It was slightly intense - Sandra's open desire to connect with him and bond with him in the more serious, loving way - but sort of exciting as well. They had talked about the hot drinks their mothers had made them before bedtime, and though it might be a small thing, it had been a connecting thing - a sharing. Rhyley wanted to hear about more lovely memories Sandra had of her childhood, and he knew she would want to hear about his.
"Is this love?" he heard himself asking. "Not the date in a café, not the kiss on The Common - this ... togetherness, and connection?"
Sandra looked so touched that Rhyley felt warmth spark inside him.
"I think so," she whispered. "Whatever it is, I want it forever."
"Forever," Rhyley said quietly. "I think it must be then. I ..." he took a deep breath, looking at the table before raising his eyes to meet Sandra's again. "I love you, Sandra."
Sandra looked shocked and moved.
"Oh, Rhyley," she murmured. "I love you too."
Rhyley clasped her hands on the table.
"I don't know what else to say to you... except... I want you to be happy. Are you happy, Sandra?"
"How could I not be?" Sandra asked softly. "Today's been absolutely beautiful."
Rhyley smiled.
"Good. I've enjoyed it too."
"One hot chocolate?" The waiter had reappeared and Rhyley quickly let go of Sandra's hands.
"Mine please," said Sandra, blushing.
The waiter set the glass down before her. Sandra took out the wafer biscuit wedged into the cream and offered it to Rhyley.
"Don't you want it?" he asked.
"Nah, I'm good. And you should have something, if you're paying."
Rhyley grinned.
"I don't mind about that but if you don't want it, I'll have it." He took the wafer from her. "Thanks."
He ate it as Sandra made a start on her marshmallows.

Robots for stack molds.
Servo-electric robots designed for fast removal of parts from two-plate and stack molds are new from Wittmann Inc., Torrington, Conn. Its W 711 C DS robot is based on the W 711 series, which has a fixed kick stroke. Unlike the standard models, the C DS units have a second, independent vertical servo arm. The arms' horizontal strokes are 1500 or 2000 mm and vertical strokes are 800 or 1000 mm. The robots are suited to presses up to 250 tons and carry up to 11 lb per arm. To minimize mold opening distance, both arms have a compact, self-locking swivel axis, as on standard W 711 robots. Compact servo modules on the robot itself eliminate the need for a floor-mounted control cabinet. The integrated control cabinet is mounted behind the horizontal axis to save space. It allows connection of external I/O modules through a bus cable. Tel: (860)496-9603 * PTDirect: 137MM

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Concerned community residents joined together to voice their concerns at a community forum to address the ICE Detention Center, the Santa Maria Jail Expansion and the Santa Barbara Gang Injunction. They believe several recent issues could lead to racial profiling and other social injustices against minorities here in Santa Barbara County.
The forum was hosted by a group called P.O.D.E.R, or "People Organized for the Defense & Equal Rights of Santa Barbara Youth," a group lead by a broad coalition of community residents.
Gabriela Hernandez, a leader of P.O.D.E.R, said "I think what we are trying to get accomplished is how these 3 things, the Gang Injunction, The Ice Center and the jail expansion, could target specific people."
Daniel Ramirez, CAUSE Action chair, said "It's important having an event like this for the community, on this day, to help educate the people about what is going on."
There will also be additional forums on April 1st - Spanish Forum/Film Screening at Franklin Center 6:30-8:30pm -1136 E Montecito and April 10th - Spanish Forum/Film Screening at West Side Community Center 6:30-8:30pm - 423 W Victoria St.
