Telstra has launched a major upgrade of its networks allowing us to offer nationally a new improved business broadband service called ' TBB Ethernet', replacing our current 'Business DSL' service.
The new service will help drive innovation in Australia's small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) bringing increased reliability and a boost in upload and download speeds, up to 10 megabits per second (subject to service qualification).
TBB Ethernet is important for our customers as many currently use Business DSL and the maximum speed they can get is 4 megabits per second or less, depending on their distance from the Telstra exchange.
As demand for bandwidth constantly increases, some are starting to find Business DSL is not really meeting their day-to-day needs. To deal with this problem up until now, businesses have had to look at getting a more expensive fibre connection to their premises – which for small and medium-size businesses is too expensive.
While faster speeds always grab headlines, there's much more to TBB Ethernet in terms of how it will help businesses to cut costs and become more productive.
TBB Ethernet makes it possible to support quality IP telephony and applications like video-conferencing, offering big savings in telephone call costs and the travel budget.
Unlike consumer ADSL, which offers faster download speeds and slower upload speeds, TBB Ethernet is 'symmetric', offering the same speeds in both directions. This helps reduce waiting times for businesses that are often uploading big documents.
Many of Australia's SMEs are geographically dispersed, with branches in different regions and states. TBB Ethernet means they can reliably run IT applications from a head office, rather than have to deploy equipment and send an IT person out to branch offices. It also means the whole business can have a proper daily computer back-up service off the premises and use the one version of software applications, which streamlines administration.
At Telstra Business we're looking at what we can do deliver better value to encourage more of Australia's small and medium businesses to take a technological leap forward and become truly 'digital businesses', using products like TBB Ethernet to become more efficient.
On the value front, we've released great new mobile and broadband plans over the past month that are already proving popular with customers.
On the technology front, this week we've welcomed Cisco more as a partner in the Telstra Business System program.
Cisco is one of the world's leading and most innovative suppliers of business communications technology and its products are used widely by our enterprise customers. We expect they'll be equally popular with small and medium businesses – the 'backbone' of Australia's economy.
We welcome your suggestions and we'll have more exciting announcements in coming months.

That's a real nice comment Brendon, but forgive me for being a lot sceptic by this time. I will believe it when i see it and my god unless i do, maybe we will leave Telstra for good, yes i know you will charge us megally, but, hell whats new, it may actually bring us about even as i feel in need of a phsyc at the end of it,
You have a good day now, as your people say.

Dear all – including me, a contributor to this blog.
What a woeful creature Telstra is!
It's so easy to get lost in your wonderful website…desperately trying to find something relevant to the current problem – to no avail.
All the impressive announcements…. all the let-downs and disappointments!
Like all you fellow bloggers, I have yet to get anything like a response from Telstra on anything!
Things were going along steadily a few days ago and I really contemplated cancelling my other ISP dialup service.
Unfortunately that was tempting providence because I had great need to resort to it again within 24 hours.
Can I say loud and clear to Telstra, if I had any other choice I would go to it immediately.
Your service is so exceptionally poor, and your publicity machine with all it's trumpet blowing and gloss is a national disgrace. A huge proportion of your customers are not 'capital city'. They range from outer suburbs to the outback and they are not getting the service they need and deserve.
Some sort of response to the problems experienced by the participants to this blog would seem appropriate.
However, I'd be amazed if even the most scathing comments were to invoke a response.
As with beating ones' head against a brick wall – it's nice when one stops doing it, so it is with your long suffering customers. Many like me who are looking for the opportune moment to bid you goodbye.

Hi David, I've sent you a personal email. Let me know your details and how I might help. Brendan.

Generally a public blog is created by a Company wishing to seek feedback from their clients, good or bad.
I've been a genuine contributor and viewer of this blog for almost two months, and despite raising my concerns twice, I am still waiting for a call back from Telstra.
The feeling I get from reading customer's comments is they are just plain worn out by the monster that is Telstra. I truly thought that Telstra would have created a separate "Intensive Care Unit" to target client's concerns in this blog, however the fact that customers have had to log their concerns more than once is disappointing.
It may be better for all of us to simply stop using this blog. The only sound Mr Thodey will hear then is the sound of his old customers calling other carriers.

Wonderful news!
However, having just moved from Bigpond to Telstra Business Broadband, I'm sceptical! I still only have speeds marginally better than dial-up!
I'm not even really a country consumer – midway between Brisbane and Sydney and within spitting distance of the Pacific Highway. I'm 4+ Kms from the exchange and my landline apparently travels 50km on a round-the -country loop to get to me. I haven't been able to do anything useful on the net for the last five days. My 'new', 'higher' download limit is useless because I can't get enough speed to even approach it!
I know this is a useless protest as on previous occasions, all my requests for help and service have fallen on deaf ears.
The only time Telstra moves is after the last resort – to the telecoms ombudsman…..and even then reluctantly!
So this wonderful new service is still pie in the sky for me.

PS I'm not going to pay my current bill, and am moving my business ASAP to another carrier.
Sep 20, 2010Reply
On the 28th August I posted that I had a problem with my online account where I was not able to see all of my mobile phones. Part of this has been corrected so that now I can see the current bill for all 24 phones but I can only access the unbilled calls for the original 12. This seems ridiculous as I have a paper bill at home that reflects the current bill. It is the unbilled that requires my constant attention to make sure that the correct usage is happening for each cap.
I have rung 132000 on several occasions unsuccessfully for this and also to change some passwords. I was told that I should visit a Telstra store where they will be able to help me. I have visited two Telstra stores and been advised in both that they do not have any access and I must ring the 132000 number. I love puzzles but I do like them to have a defined end. This has taken hours of my time and I am no closer to a resolution for either the passwords or the online account problem.
I'd like to emphasize that the people in the Telstra stores were very friendly and pleasant but absolutely useless. In one store there was a Telstra representative doing a survey on customer service, to whom I told my plight. He wrote it all down and I waited with anticipation for a response. Nothing….
Brendan, do you have any suggestions about what I should do next??
Sep 20, 2010Reply
Hi Pam. I apologise for all the problems you have encountered so far. I've asked for a response on why you can't access all the information you need to online and fo someone to call you.

Try to ring Telstra about this product – I did. It took 5 calls & 4 days before I found a sales area aware of this product
The pricing, unfortunately, is massively greater than competitive products in the market for business broadband ethernet.
I do use Telstra Business ADSL services (and another provider) and was looking for a migration path, but it may not be with Telstra if this reflects their awareness of the product and its competitive market placement.

I tried to call telstra from the number listed on the telstra website for Ethernet and got sent to the business adsl number who then put me through to the provisioning people for ethernet would couldn't tell me anything and were annoyed I had been connected to them, they sent an email so someone from ethernet sales could call me back, after a week I tried again, same story, went to adsl business who told me I had called the wrong number then they put me through incorrectly to the provisioning people who were again annoyed about the misplaced call and sent an email to ethernet sales.
I'm sitting here waiting to move forward not knowing if we should just go with adsl on a 24 month contract or wait for someone from the ethernet sales to eventually call us.
We are in a regional area but 30m! from the local exchange which has optical fibre and adsl 2, can I get ethernet or am I just wasting my time waiting for a call from sales that may never come? I need to be able to transmit over 3000gb a data a month at upload speeds of at least 2mbits, but the faster the better. I would like to do this for a sensible price that is competitive with the data center we currently use in the USA.
May 25, 2011Reply
Whilst the TBB Internet sounds promising it is still too expensive for many small businesses. Ourselves like many other business require higher upload speeds than currently offered by Telstra's ADSL service. Many other providers can provide ADSL 2+ with annex M giving users up to 2.5Mbps upload at similar prices to Telstra's business ADSL plans.
Telstra's reluctance to offer this standard technology appears to based on protecting their higher cost business services. The one flaw in this approach is that rather than paying for these high cost plans users such as ourselves will just go else where!
Jul 23, 2011Reply
are you serious? I call many time to Telstra but no one know about this product.
Jul 25, 2011Reply
I've still had no response from telstra regarding this product, I guess I can assume at this stage after waiting 3 months that nobody is going to call us.
We went ahead with an unlimited adsl plan from telstra instead which doenst really meet our needs.

Eddie combines hard tunes with superb scratching effectively re-mixing live! He's both a born showman, interacting with the crowd and working them up to a frenzy, as well as an extremely accomplished technician on the decks.
Eddie's initial guest appearances included Totally Mashed and Good Greef in Manchester, Jump in Sheffield, and Sundissential North in Leeds. He then went on to secure residencies with Raukous at Bed in Sheffield, Sundissential in Birmingham , Garlands in Liverpool and Gatecrasher.
In 2001 he toured South Africa and January 2002 saw MixMag featuring Eddie's talents with a free cover CD, Bosch! Those who had heard only that CD got a hint of what he can do. It was an appetiser to a main course best enjoyed live, in part because he jealously guards his scratching technique - before he became recognised nationally he would never release demo or promo CDs in case other DJs could work out what he was doing!
After a productive time with the Tidy Trax DJ agency, in 2002 Eddie switched to join Serious after being approached by Judge Jules, (the agency run by his brother Sam), and one of the most influenctial and significant in the UK.

The water trickled down the drain, abundant with the grime and germs of children's hands. After supper I taught sums and letters to the children told wonderful tales of the princess who saved a prince; tales of the glories of egalitarianism.
Now reader, I understand many of you shy away from the concept of equality, so, I ask if my beliefs worry you, do stop reading, for I would hate for my words be wasted on your daftness.
My father glanced up as I strode past his private study.
"Helen, do linger a moment. I have information that must urgently be discussed." He groaned to his feet, his protruding stomach jolting his desk as his tongue traced his pudgy lips.
"Yes Father, what troubles you so much that it entails you to converse with a mere female?"
"An ingenious worker of mine has recently discovered a plot of land that is currently occupied by some rundown shambles that would be a perfect location to expand my premises." He hobbled over to where I stood, grasping my shoulders in his corpulent hands.
"I fail to comprehend how this concerns me."
He regarded me with an air of contempt, his lips curling at his feeling of superiority.
"Helen do acquaint yourself with Mr Edwards, the gentlemen to whom I referenced just now. He wishes to confer with you."
A man glided out from within the confines of the shadows, his thumbs casually hooked in the pockets of his dark cutaway coat. He ambled towards me, an enchanting lopsided grin gracing his fiercely chiselled face. Dark brown eyes studied me from beneath thick, curling lashes. His face so perfect it seemed as that of an angel painted by an old master.
"Miss Darcy would you care to accompany me for a tranquil stroll? The clouds have parted and a splendid dappling of sunlight has graced this despondent corner of the world," he asked, the words rolling from his tongue in an alluring baritone.
"Dear Sir, as charming as this offer may seem I would prefer to accompany you to the door and never set my eyes upon you again." Regretfully so, I added silently.
"Oh hush now Helen, do not disgrace my name with your unruly words," my father snapped. "He is a guest, and though he has no need to inform you of his plans, he insisted you be privy. You will listen to what he has to say."
Mr Edwards thanked my father before sauntering past me,
"Consider my offer Miss Darcy, this day will lose its beauty if you are not there to share it." He kissed my hand before once again disappearing into the shadows, a strong cologne lingering.
"I will not lose this business opportunity to your wicked tongue. Take that man up on his offer!"
"Oh father I shan't come back to torment myself with the sight of your mendacious, blubbery self e'er again. I shall not remain placid as you tear down all I have fought for!"
Reader as you can envision I quit that house with a flourish worthy of that of an enraged lioness.
My irate departure and hasty march across the noisy cobblestone street, masked the sound of the man running down the tree-lined road.
"Miss Darcy, do wait," he panted. "It isn't safe for a lady to stroll the streets by herself."
"Sir, you have the audacity to press on me your beliefs of masculine superiority? Do tell what there is to fear that you could so valiantly protect me from?
"Oh Helen dear, have you not heard of those vicious pirates that sail the streets in their fretful ghost ships, feeding on the fear of innocent women?"
"How appalling How is it I have never heard of this before?"
"Miss, I'm immune to this pretence of yours, I can see under the façade of strength and independence. You're a lady and do not belong in the business world. So please refrain from interfering in something you could possibly even begin to comprehend."
I glanced down at my hands, clenched into my skirt.
"Oh, I'm sure a brick building spewing filth into the air whilst women slave in horrible conditions is such a wonderful prospect that I, as a female, would not understand. Mr Edwards have you ever stopped to consider the sixty-seven children and twenty-three women who rely on my settlement house for food and running water. The same people who've run from belligerent, supercilious males now sit, entranced by letters and sums. All of which I provide by way of the settlement house. Yet you and Father want to eradicate it and build another brick hell!"
"You obviously have a strong emotional attachment to that horrid place."
"It is my purpose in life! Whilst they may be getting food, water, jobs an education, I get the unparalleled pleasure gained from watching something you do so positively affect another."
Mr Edwards slumped against the wall, digging his heel into the sodden ground. His dark hair slipped from its stylised perch, whispering against his furrowed brow.
"I had no idea Helen; your father only revealed that it was a filthy place for beggars."
He brushed the hair from his forehead, his bejewelled fingers lingering above his downcast eyes; dark eyes laced with sincerity and anguish.
"Helen please, I thought that the factory would provide the poor with a means of income and a lifestyle, I had no idea that that was what you so generously provided; in a better environment may I add."
"'Tis late for apologies and regrets Walter. If only you had used your intelligence and not listened to my pathetic father. It was pleasant conferring with you Walter, however I have a settlement house to run and you have lives to destroy. You will not get my school."
Reader I lost the settlement house, now there stood Mr Edwards revelling in his victory, blocking my hurried escape. His hand rested on the mossy, ornate fence that slinked around the length of the astoundingly beautiful sandstone building.
"'Twas for the best Miss Darcy, surely you understand," Mr Edwards assured. "Many more people will now be provided a work position. Is that not what you wanted?"
He took my hand, rubbing the palm with his smooth fingers.
"Leave me be Mr Edwards," I spat, pulling my hand back, settling on my bicycle. "I must hurry along now; the Judge so kindly has provided me a week to bid farewell to the joy in my life; a week before those children are back on the streets with no food, no money and no defence against diseases."
I felt his presence before he announced his arrival with a polite cough. The ceramic mug I was holding dropped from my slippery hands, plopping back into the bucket of suds. He stood in the doorway, his broad shoulders angled to fit.
"Helen please sit and relax, you work too hard. I have asked one of the maids to bring in tea to accompany an afternoon discussion to be had right now, no backing out." He advanced into the room pulling out a chair for me before seating himself beside it.
"Mr Edwards have you not patronised me enough in the recent weeks," I sighed, as I complied with the sincerity of his request.
"Oh Helen do stop being so formal, address me as Walter, like you used to, and I promise after this I shall ne'er again irritate one Miss Darcy."
"Please get to the point Mr Edwards, I'm quite busy."
His hands kneaded the hem of his woollen coat and he worried at his bottom lip. He jolted upright and strode to within a metre of where I sat.
"Miss Helen Darcy you have bewitched me. Since I first laid eyes on you I have been undeniably in awe by your beauty, and struck speechless by your cutting words. Such a smart and caring woman of the needy is a warming thing to see. Helen I am giving you the deeds of this site, as I know yours is the better purpose. I ask that as well as this you accept some of my funding, use it to hire some more teachers, reduce your workload. And finally I ask that it be renamed to the Edwards' School of Thought for I hope to share my name with you. Will you, Helen Darcy, do me the honour of becoming my wife?"
I cocked my head and studied his devastatingly handsome face, his outstretched hands and most charming smile. I took his hand and smiled back.
Reader, I did not marry him.

In case you're wondering, you just stumbled onto a massive fanfic I've been writing since the end of Spring Semester 2001. I've seen the entire series, read all the translations for the manga, and now own all 28 volumes of it. (so what if it's in Japanese, there's still pretty pics to look at!) This story begins with "Cherry Blossoms in the Spring" and I've rewritten the special extra story here in the prologue. (the end of it at least) From here it's no holds barred as Sano returns from his world travels and the Kenshin-gumi gets swept up in a sinister plot aimed at destroying the Meiji government. Expect Action, Adventure, Romance, Humor, Angst, and everything else you come to expect from a series as cool as Rurouni Kenshin. Also, the entire story is a SPOILER so beware!
Just to let everyone know in advance, this fic's central character is Sanosuke. "Run to You" is a story about Sano the way "Rurouni Kenshin" is a story about Kenshin. (not saying this is anywhere near as cool as RK but let me explain what I mean) In "Rurouni Kenshin" there are times when Kenshin isn't present and we get to see stories about the other characters. In "Run to You" Sano isn't always there and other characters will get plenty of time in the spotlight, but Sano IS the main character. The main characters I'm focusing on are Sano/Megumi, Aoshi/Misao, and Yahiko/Tsubame. Kenshin is married to Kaoru and they have their son Kenji and there's not much more to cover between those two, except to take a look at their married life. This fic focuses on the same things that Rurouni Kenshin focuses on. Action is one of the main focuses, angst plays a big part, and humor is there to lighten the mood. Romance takes a step up in importance in "Run to You" compared to Rurouni Kenshin.
With "Run to You" I plan on tying lose ends left at the end of the manga. If you're like me, you saw "Cherry Blossoms in the Spring" more like a prologue than an epilogue. There are plenty of characters who's lives were not resolved at the end of the manga. (and anime) I'm mostly planning on tying Sano's loose ends, but quite a few other people will be taken care of as well. But before there can be any resolution, there must be some fun. There's a huge cast of bad guys (many of which we've already met) as well as good guys. (you already know most of them, I'm not adding any superfilous good guys) There's plenty of humorous situations as well as serious ones.

"MONGOLIA!??" Surprise, shock, and indignation were readable on each of their faces. Kenshin paused a moment before he continued reading the letter.
"After that departure, I took a tour to America, then to Europe and then to Arabia and I've had a very good time so far. I'll be around here for a little while and then I'll go back to Japan, so get a delicious bowl of white rice and miso soup for me upon my arrival, ok?" Kenshin smiled and sighed contentedly. "See ya." The others were practically boiling over in frustration and confusion.
Megumi blurted out, "Does that idiot mean to cross the entire world?" At the same moment Kaoru also shouted, "What the heck is he thinking?"
"Does he mean to be an adventurer?" Yahiko asked in confusion. Kenshin just sat there thinking happily to himself, the smile still on his face. As Kenshin absently folded the letter, Megumi noticed a flash of writing on the back and familiar characters scrawled out in Sanosuke's terrible handwriting. Fox Lady.
"Let me see that." Megumi snatched the letter away from Kenshin's hand. She turned the letter around while the others watched her curiously. As she read she started fuming. Piqued by curiosity, Yahiko grabbed the letter away from the indignant woman and read out loud.
"Oh by the way, make sure Fox Lady knows I'm coming back." Megumi tried to steal the letter away from Yahiko as he read. He deftly avoided her lunge and finished reading without missing a beat. "She better be ready!"
"I have no idea what that idiot is talking about." Megumi turned her head to the side and stoked her hand through her long black hair, straightening a few stray strands. "What exactly am I supposed to be ready for?"
"I think Sano just wanted to make sure that we informed you of his imminent return Megumi-dono." Kenshin put in happily. "After all, you do live in Aizu. How could he know that you'd be here while we were reading the letter?"
Megumi boiled over it for a few minutes while the others started eating. That idiot takes off for 5 years and thinks he can just walk right back into his old life.
"Boy, Sano's sure been gone for a long time. A lot has happened since he left." Yahiko mused aloud through a mouthful of food. "You think he's changed?" Everyone looked at each other in silence for a moment, pondering the question. As one they burst out laughing (except Aoshi, of course). Each one of them shook their heads and answered at the same moment.
"Doubt it."
"Stupid question."
"We can hope can't we?"
What better place to start than where Watsuki left off!? If you haven't seen/read "Cherry Blossoms in the Spring" I suggest you go find it! (my site has a link to Serizawa Kamo's Translation Index which has a link to picture and text files of the extra story)
By the way, my website www.kenkaya.com is centered around this fic and contains my fan art inspired by the story. For the FULL effect and most recent chapters check it out and let me know what you think!
Did I mention that I really really really want some feedback? This is a massive project and I need all the encouragement I can get to continue! Heck, if you think it sucks, let me know that I shouldn't be wasting my time! (hehe, you need to read to about chapter 11 before you tell me not to write anymore though!)
Well, what are you waiting for! Go on to chapter 1! (you'll meet the 'new' people at the dojo!)

The Wales centre Gavin Henson, who has started only 11 matches in the last 12 months because of a succession of injuries, faces missing out on the Lions tour to South Africa after being told last night that ankle ligament damage he sustained playing for the Ospreys last weekend will rule him out of action for up to six weeks.
Henson is likely to be back in action again the weekend before the Lions gather for a week's bonding in Bagshot. The 27-year-old was helped off during the Ospreys' defeat by Gloucester in the EDF Energy Cup semi-final at the Ricoh Arena, a year after an injury to his left ankle required an operation and kept him on the sidelines for six months.
The Ospreys received the results of a scan last night and the region's physiotherapist, Chris Towers, said: "Gavin has suffered damage to the ligaments on both the lateral and medial sides of his right ankle. Although the injury is not so severe that he will require surgery, he will spend at least two weeks in a walking cast before he can start to gradually get back to normal activity. At this stage, in light of the nature and extent of the ligament damage, we are predicting a four-to-six-week spell on the sidelines before Gavin will be ready for action again."
The Lions manager, Gerald Davies, has said that the tourists will take only players who are fit. Henson is a far from automatic choice anyway, given his failure to string more than a few games together this season. When he returned from ankle surgery last October, an achilles tendon problem ruled him out of the autumn international series, after he had been chosen for the opening game against South Africa, and a calf strain forced him to withdraw from the start of Wales's Six Nations title defence in Scotland last February.
Henson will miss the Ospreys' Heineken Cup quarter-final against Munster at Thomond Park on April 12. If the six-week prognosis is correct, the only game he would be available for this season would be the region's Magner's League trip to Limerick in the middle of next month.
The Lions name their squad on 21 April. Henson went on the 2005 tour to New Zealand but played in only one Test and little has gone right for him since then, apart from the first few months of last year when he helped Wales to a second grand slam in four seasons. He missed the opening two games of this year's Six Nations before coming on as a replacement against France. He started against Italy and Ireland but launched a broadside against the tactics adopted by Wales after both matches and said their finishing position of fourth did not lie.
The Lions are bracing themselves for more bad news this week. The Gloucester and England centre Mike Tindall limped off at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry 10 minutes before Henson after injuring his right knee. The 30-year-old is due to have a scan today.
Like Henson he has a history of long-term injuries. While Tindall may not be a front-runner for a place in the Test side, with one Brian O'Driscoll standing ahead of him, the Lions coach, Ian McGeechan, places huge importance on players who are able to put disappointment to one side.
Whoever goes as the second outside-centre would be condemned to a supporting role, even if O'Driscoll were not made captain. Tindall, who missed out in 2005 because of injury and has never toured with the Lions, would be a contender to lead the midweek side and is one of the few players available to the Lions who has experience of beating South Africa. He would arguably be a bigger loss than Henson, while the Lions hope to find out in the next week whether Tindall's fellow 2003 World Cup winner, Jonny Wilkinson, will be fit for the tour after dislocating a kneecap six months ago.

Drowning in a sea of pitch black.
No way out, can't turn back.
Gasping for air, but I have none left.
Trying so hard to catch my breath.
Screaming, but there's nothing to be heard.
'Cause I can't spit out even one word.
Trying to stay calm, to float, to swim.
But the strong current won't give in.
Drowning a sea of pitch black.
And now my frail little heart is under attack.

This year's season of Thalian Association's youth theater will end with a large-scale collaboration on a Broadway classic.
The local group will present "Cats," the much-loved musical based on the poetry of T. S. Eliot, next month at the Hannah Block Historic USO/Community Arts Center, 120 S. Second St. in downtown Wilmington.
And for the first time in Thalian Association Community Theatre's 227-year history, the organization is teaming up with the Wilmington Art Association to create a unique visual and performing arts experience during the production.
More than 20 artists from the association plan to paint the cast of "Cats" in the visually stunning and iconic makeup of the characters. The paintings will be on exhibit in the Hannah Block lobby during play's one-weekend-only run.
Paintings will also be available for purchase, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the Community Arts Center.
"Artists of the Wilmington Art Association (WAA) are excited to have an opportunity to be involved with 'Cats' and Thalian Association," Gale Smith, co-president of the Wilmington Art Association, said. "WAA is supportive of all the arts, including theater, and looks forward to being among the young actors and capturing them in costume as they prepare for this musical theater production. What a creative way to bring the visual arts and the performing arts together. WAA is always seeking new opportunities to promote the arts with the youth in our community. 'Cats' is a perfect example of how we wish to be involved with our youth."
The children's theater will present "Cats" at 7 p.m. Thursday and Friday, May 14 and 15, at 3 and 7 p.m. Saturday, May 16, and at 3 p.m. Sunday, May 17. Tickets are $12 and may be purchased here or by calling (910) 341-7860.

My Birthday!!!Mature
'Your r-real family?! Wow! Umm...' she looked at us in shock, 'Well ... umm ... come in! Do you want a drink?' My mum smiled and nodded her head and walked over to the living room.
'No thank you!' My family all went in the living room and sat down I followed and noticed my adopted dad look at them in confusion then looked at me
'Who are these darling?' I smiled
'My real family!' He looked at me then my family in shock
'Real?! Wow! Well it's nice to meet you! How did you find them?!' He said, now looking at me
'Well I was looking online and got talking to my brother Maelgwyn and found out that they were my real family! They gave me up at birth because of problems in their hometown, but Maelgwyn was old enough to stay but I wasn't!' He still looked shocked
'Wow... umm... okay... I'm glad you found them! And what a good timing too!' I nodded and smiled and sat next to them, I noticed my family looking around in shock as my house wasn't as big and grand as theirs. I looked at the time and noticed the lottery was on now
'Oh my god the lottery's on!' I grabbed the remote and turned the TV on, my adopted dad, it felt strange saying that as I had two dads and two mums in the same house, looked at me in confusion.
'Mum and dad bought me a lottery ticket!' He looked at me in shock as I said mum and dad, I ignored him and watched the TV as the balls started to come down, the first ball was 16, not good! The next ball was 19, I 'yay'ed, the next ball was 39, i 'yay'ed again, the next ball was 7, again I 'yay'ed, the next ball was 49, again I 'yay'ed, I heard my adopted parents gasping, the next ball was 13, i 'yay'ed more excitedly, the bonus ball was... 1! I gasped then jumped up and started screaming in excitement, my adopted parents were looking at me in shock
'You have got to be kidding me?!' My adopted dad said, 'You can't seriously have won?!' He got up and grabbed the ticket comparing my numbers with the numbers on TV and gasped, my adopted mum then came over and did the same, I was still jumping around in excitement, she gasped then they ran over to me and hugged me in excitement!
'I can't believe I've won 200,000 pounds!!!'
'Oh my god! What are you going to do with it?!' My mum asked, I calmed down although still excited
'Well I was thinking of going around the world! With my real family!' I said looking at my real family, she were all smiling at me, I looked back at my adopted family as she looked at me saddened
'Y-your leaving us?!' My mum said,
'Mum, I'm nearly 21! Of course I'm going to stay for my birthday! But I've just found my family and got 200,000 pounds! I want to get to know my family more and explore the world!' She smiled and hugged me tight
'Okay honey, I'm sure you will have a wonderful time! Remember to phone and write to us!' I nodded and hugged her
'Of course I will! Now we need to get this party ready!' She smiled and nodded
'Yes of course!' I turned to my real family
'You wanna help?' My mum nodded
'Of course!' I smiled and they got up and we all helped make the house look more partyish! After a few hours we had finished, we went into the kitchen and sat down and had a drink and something to eat.
'Thank you for helping us,' my mum said looking at my real family
'It's no problem at all!' My real mum said smiling
'The only thing is where are you all going to stay?!'
'Well Maelgwyn could stay in my room! And mum and dad could sleep in the living room! It's only for one night, I'm sure they'll be fine!' My mum and dad nodded
'Okay then!' I smiled then took Maelgwyn up to my bedroom, before we went in I stopped outside the door and looked at him
'Now you may be shocked and will probably hate this room! Just thought I would warn you!' I looked at me in confusion as we went in, my room was very girly with pink walls covered in lots of drawings and posters of twilight and jeffree star, my double bed had bright pink bedcovers, he looked around in shock
'It's PINK!' He made a belching sound, I laughed and sat down on my bed
'Yep! And you are sleeping in here tonight, so deal with it!' He hung his head
'Oh for fucks sake!' I laughed again, he came over and sat down on the bed next to me. 'You couldn't make it a little more gothic could you? For your own brother?!' I sighed
'Fine! I will get some black bedcovers!' He smiled
'Thank you sis!' He hugged me and I smirked
'But I will be getting you back! Mark my words! When we get back home, you better watch out ... for something pink ... in your room!' He looked at me in horror,
'Fuck you!' I laughed evily. Instead of leaving the room to get the bedsheets I sat in the middle of the bed and closed my eyes and took a deep breath and clicked my fingers, I heard Maelgwyn gasped and I opened my eyes, the bedcover was now black.
'H-how did you do that?!'
'Magic obviously!'
'B-but you're so new to magic! It took me ages until I could use my powers like that!' I smiled
'Well then, I'm obviously much more special than you!' I looked at me evily
'Fuck you!' I laughed and laid back on the bed and sighed.
'Today has been the most strangest yet most amazing day ever! I've met my real family and found out I have magical powers! I find out I have a brother and I live in some huge mansion! It's a lot to take in in one day!' He chuckled and laid down next to me.
'You don't think I was surprised when I found out I had a little sister!' I looked at him confused
'Don't you remember me? Didn't mum and dad ever tell you about me?' He shook his head
'I was quite young then and I don't know why they never told me, maybe it was to protect you! Either way, I'm glad that I now know you!' I smiled
'Me too,' he smiled and I sat up, 'We better get changed into our pyjamas!' I heard him click his fingers and I turned round to see him in some black pyjamas, I chuckled and he smiled. I turned around and took a deep breath and closed my eyes and clicked my fingers, I felt my clothes change and when I opened my eyes I had hot pink pyjamas on, I turned around and smirked at him
'Show off!' I laughed and got into bed and so did he
'Goodnight my new and strange brother!' I said and he chuckled
'Goodnight my new and creepily girly sister!' I chuckled and turned off the light and went to sleep.
The next morning I woke up and rolled over to see Maelgwyn still asleep. I sighed hoping that it was all a dream. I sat up and looked at the black covers and smiled, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath and clicked my fingers, I opened my eyes to see a pink bedcover and Maelgwyn in pink pyjamas, that will get him back! I got up and went downstairs and into the kitchen, both my parents were up and eating breakfast, I said hi to everyone and made myself breakfast and sat down and started to eat it
'Where's your brother?' Mum asked
'Still in bed, he's gonna be shocked when he wakes up in pink instead of black haha!' My parents chuckled as we heard a deep scream from upstairs, I laughed loudly and heard him coming downstairs loudly, he then stormed into the kitchen in his pink pyjamas giving me a dead stare, I looked at him and laughed
'I hate you, you know?!' I chuckled and carried on eating, he turned and stormed back upstairs.
'Anyway!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!' They all shouted, I stopped eating and realised it was my birthday! Then jumped up and down excitedly as they all gave me a present and card, I opened them all and had an ipod touch from my real parents and a new phone from my adopted parents, I gave them all a hug and a kiss as Maelgwyn came downstairs in his black pyjamas and a present in his hand, I opened it to find a large black flag with a skull on it, I laughed
'So I'm guessing you bought me something that you are going to use instead?' He chuckled and nodded, I laughed and chucked it back at him, 'Well thanks anyway haha!' I turned back to my parents as a huge cake appeared on the table, it had a large picture of me and Jeffree Star on the front from when I met him after a concert. I squealed and jumped up and down like a little kid and blew out all the candles, then I cut the cake and everyone had a piece, my piece was the largest with the part with Jeffree on. Once finished we started to get all the party food ready, I was going to have a house party with a a load of friends and young family members including my brother although I wasn't sure he would like the music as I was more into dance and dubstep and he was more into rock and screamo! We moved all the valuable items upstairs and moved the living room around so there was more space to dance, we set up the food and made sure everyone was great, at about 6pm all my parents disappeared and went to a hotel so we could have more fun, I put on some dance music and Maelgwyn moaned.
'Hey! This is my party and I will play whatever music I want! If you don't like it then go away! You could stay at the top of the stairs and make sure people don't go up!' He sighed
'Uhh fine!' I smiled and held out my Ipod, he shook his head and pulled out an Iphone. 'It's okay, I've got something better! But thanks anyway!' I smiled and nodded and put my Ipod in my pocket. I took a deep breath and changed my clothes into more clubwear. Suddenly there was a knock on the door...

Sue Wooley, the president of the Friends of the Cedar Key Library, was stunned last year at the size of the donation to the library from the first-ever Cedar Key Open charity golf event.
Last Wednesday, the Chiefland Golf and Country Club and the Big Deck Raw Bar hosted the second edition of the Open, and the amount of funds raised was doubled from the previous year.
"I was nearly speechless," Wooley said. "And you can ask my husband, that's a rarity."
Despite mustering just one hit and two base runners through five innings against Chiefland ace Kensley Durrance last Tuesday, the Bronson softball team remained in striking distance behind a crafty performance in the circle from junior Emily Sheppard.
Then the floodgates flew open in the bottom of the sixth, as the Lady Indians poured on eight runs to walk off with a 10-0 victory.
Senior Samantha Rolfe (three runs) scored Chiefland's first pair of runs in the third and fifth innings, on RBI singles by fellow seniors Lauren Parker and Takiya London.
Last Tuesday's baseball tilt between Chiefland and Williston was a game of precious few offensive opportunities.
The Indians entered the final inning of the pitching and defensive duel having scrounged up just one run and two hits, the most important being an RBI double by junior Josh Webber that scored sophomore Kelby Osteen in the fourth for CMHS' only previous run.
Chiefland proved once again it was comfortable with late-game heroics, however, as senior Casey Lawson sliced a two-run double down the third-base line to lift the Indians to a 3-2 win.

Thunder was in the forecast yesterday as members of the Havasupai, a tiny Indian tribe that lives deep inside the gorges of the western Grand Canyon, prepared for a day of ritual that had been a long time coming. Blood was to be mourned; blood of the dead and of the living. Blood, more importantly, that had been wrongfully purloined.
After prayers, dancing and singing in Supai Village on the Canyon floor, the assembled vials were due to "rest" for four days. On Monday they will be interred and an episode that began nearly 20 years ago with the drawing of blood from tribe members by scientists at Arizona State University for a DNA research project will be over.
It is a time of mourning but also rejoicing that started earlier this week when the university settled a lawsuit filed against it by the tribe, which numbers just over 600 souls.
Their claim was straightforward legally but heavily freighted with emotion and spiritual meaning. The outcome will have repercussions for scientists everywhere who, when handling DNA, may have to think more deeply about the rights of those who surrender it.
What was advertised as an exercise in benevolence began in 1990 when an ASU scientist approached the tribe with an idea: its members had for years suffered from an unusually elevated rate of type 2 diabetes, ravaging its ranks and leading to amputations even among some of its young. If tribe members would agree to surrender some of their blood, the university would try to establish what genetic links might lurk behind its struggles with the disease.
This was no easy decision for the Indians, for whom blood holds grave sacred significance. The souls of their dead cannot not rest with the spirits if any part of their physical body is absent at the time of burial, fluids included. But this was a disruption to their religious rhythms they were prepared to take. Between 1990 and 1994, about 200 samples were drawn and taken away for the scientists to analyse.
In the end, hopes for a genetic answer to their diabetes riddle were dashed. But there was something else they didn't know: over time, the blood had been released for other research projects, sometimes by senior ASU scientists and even by graduate students completing a thesis for their finals.
The betrayal was discovered by Carletta Tilousi, a tribal councilwoman and one of those who gave blood, seven years ago. It wasn't just that the tribe had been under the impression their DNA was for diabetes research only. Almost more upsetting was the nature of the other avenues that had been pursued with the help of their samples. There had been studies on schizophrenia among the Havasupai and the impact on their community of inbreeding.
One student penned a thesis that had made use of the Havasupai DNA asserting that their ancestors had hailed from Asia, arriving on the North American continent after a migration via the Bering Straits. It was a version of history that directly contradicts the traditional tribal teachings that gave the Grand Canyon itself as the origin of the Havasupai. Indeed, this is what gave them their sovereignty and their claim to be the guardians of the Canyon.
Under settlement, the university, led by its Board of Regents, agreed to pay $700,000 (£455,000) to the Havasupai to be shared between the 41 plaintiffs. It will also work with the tribe to help raise financing for scholarships for its young, for a new high school in their village and a medical clinic. Perhaps most importantly, the remaining blood, stored in vials in a deep freezer at the university's science centre, will be returned.
"The Board of Regents has long wanted to remedy the wrong that was done," the board said in a statement. "This solution is not simply the end of a dispute but is also the beginning of a partnership between the universities, principally ASU, and the tribe."
Members of the tribe had initially asked for tens of millions of settlement cash, but their lead lawyer, Albert Flores, hailed the deal as "the start of something good" for the tribe. Similarly satisfied was the chairwoman of the tribal council, Bernadine Jones, who said the settlement "is far more than dismissing a lawsuit... the settlement is the restoration of hope for my people, and the beginning of nation building for my tribe."
It was the job of Ms Tilousi to take custody of the blood at 6am yesterday. From the ASU campus at Tempe, Arizona, she was to take the samples by van to the rim of the Canyon from where a helicopter would take her to the floor. (Normally, access to Supai Village means a steep 11-mile trek.)
Some who gave blood are still living. But others are dead, caught in limbo until their blood is buried with them. "Their spirits will no longer be locked in a cooler," Ms Tilousi said. "We are going to take them back down to Supai Canyon so they can rest in peace."
Her own elders are among those trapped between the Earth and celestial rest, including an aunt, an amputee, who died from diabetes last year. "I'm holding my breath until the blood samples of my grandfather, my great-grandmother and my relatives reach the floor of the Grand Canyon."
In spite of the settlement, the argument over whether the tribe gave its permission for the DNA to be used in research beyond the original diabetes project or if it was duped, remains unresolved.
"I was doing good science," insists Dr Therese Markow, who instigated the cooperation with the Havasupai in 1990. She is now a professor at the University of California, San Diego. She told Nature magazine last night: "I'm glad it's over; but it never should have happened. There was no basis for any claim. They would have lost had it gone to trial."
Some experts concurred that the fall-out may be far and wide impacting the assumptions made by scientists about what they can do with DNA once it is in their possession. Some may be reluctant to accept the implication of the settlement that consent must be given before a person's genetic information can be used for research in new areas.
David Karp of University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center who has focused on the importance of DNA research versus the rights of those who give it, told The New York Times: "Everyone wants to be open and transparent. The question is, how far do you have to go? Do you have to create some massive database of people's wishes for their DNA specimens?"

"These are my sisters, Lily and Rose. They would be the little girl and the baby that you see in the picture you and I were discussing. Girls, this is… You know, I actually don't think I ever asked your name," he said, remembering his manners.
"Joshua Marlowe," Josh answered, feeling like an ant under a microscope.
"Huh. You have a weird accent," Lily said.
"Lily!" Rose chided, giving her a reprimanding glare. "You'll have to pardon her. Sometimes she has a tendency to say things a bit more bluntly than usual."
Josh just smirked, finally feeling some of the tension ease from the ironic comedy of her saying that he had a weird accent. "It's fine. So, where exactly am I?"
"Like I said, you're just a long walk away from Dunwoodton," Byron responded matter-of-factly.
"Right, but where is that? No offense, and thank you for helping me out, but I need to get back to New Orleans before my grandfather starts to worry."
Three faces instantly formed a confused expression. Rose and Byron turned to each other and shared a look of bemusement before he faced Josh again. "I'm sorry, Joshua, but I don't even have any clue where that is."
Josh was taken aback in surprise. "New Orleans? One of the largest cities in the state of Louisiana?" When that met no response, Josh was desperately trying to grasp how they had never heard of the city. "What state am I in?"
"You're in Deyras, on the Eastern frontier province of Dunwood. Are you feeling well, mate?" Byron asked, concerned Josh's memory might have been damaged.
"I… I don't know." Josh's head began to spin as the gears started turning. Something was severely wrong here. These people were speaking with a vaguely familiar but foreign accent, wearing Victorian era clothing with contemporary items, and told him he was in a nation that, to his knowledge, did not exist.
His thoughts were broken by Lily's voice. "So, what's it like being blind?"
"Look, I'm not blind, ok?" Josh shot back, more out of frustration with this enigma than genuine anger. Lily retreated temporarily.
"Our guest is of the Coeden, Lily," Byron explained, eliciting a surprised glance from the two girls. Even Rose, who had seemed fairly calm thus far, had an obvious spark of curiosity at the revelation.
There was that word again: Coeden. What could that possibly mean? Josh had no time to ponder this, however. If lily was curious before, she had now become ravenously inquisitive. "Great spirits! Really? Wow. Can you tell me about your people? Is it true that you sleep in trees? Can you really live off just a few raindrops? Can you-"
"Hold on, hold on." Josh interrupted, already way over his head in exposited information. "What is a Coeden?"
Byron shot Josh a look that practically spelled out the phrase Are you kidding me? "The Coeden tribe. The tribe you belong to. You know, they who live among the trees."
Josh gave up trying to infer anything from the random bits of information he was being told. "Ok, look. Deyras, Dunwood, blank eyes, Coeden- I don't understand a shred of what you're talking about."
Byron remained staring for a moment, utterly perplexed as to what to do. Finally, he broke the tension and turned to Lily. "Lily, I want you to go ahead and tend to your chores. Rose, I would appreciate it if you warmed some coffee from this morning up. Our friend and I obviously have a great deal to talk about."

Lanzan una nueva campaña para exigir justicia por la muerte de periodistas en zonas de guerra MADRID – 19 de febrero de 2013: Un grupo dentro del sector de los medios de comunicación y el fotoperiodismo ha unido sus fuerzas para concienciar acerca de
– The Calm Photography Movement opens at the Getty Images Gallery, London
-Exhibition runs 10th – 19th May 2017
-In partnership with the Campaign Against Living Miserably and Lynx
A new exhibition, The Calm Photography Movement, launches at the Getty Images Gallery in Soho on Wednesday 10th May. Coinciding with the start of Mental Health Awareness Week, the exhibition hopes to spark conversations about masculinity, mental health and self-expression through photography.
The exhibition is a result of a partnership between The Calm Photography Movement (TCPM) and Getty Images, with the aim of changing the way people think about and act towards mental health problems and re-picturing how such issues are seen. TCPM will raise awareness and funds for the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), an award-winning charity dedicated to preventing male suicide, the single biggest killer of men under the age of 45 in the UK.
The images on display have been selected by an esteemed panel of judges following a competitive brief to both professional and amateur photographers. Entrants were asked to submit photographs that express what it is to be a modern man in today's fast-changing world, to shine a light on the limitations of traditional masculinity and empower us to think differently about the individual inside. Winning photographs have also been curated into a brochure available for purchase at the exhibition in support of CALM's work.
Lee Martin, SVP EMEA at Getty Images and founder of the partnership with The Calm Photography Movement said: "There's still massive stigma around mental illness, and all too often images representing mental health conditions play into narrow and outdated stereotypes. Depicting diversity accurately is one of our biggest priorities at Getty Images, and we're committed to creating a range of true-to-life, authentic imagery that accurately and sensitively reflects the experience of mental illness. For this reason, our partnership with The Calm Photography Movement could not be more important and we stand as a firm supporter of their movement and of the drive for a more realistic and thoughtful depiction of mental illness."
Tom Hind, Senior Director of Content Development at Getty Images, and lead on The Calm Photography Movement photography competition agrees: "By evolving the visuals associated with mental health we hope to play a part in improving people's attitudes and behaviours towards those who are affected. We were delighted to have such strong submissions from photographers, often with notes about their own experiences. The work was of a very high calibre and we can't wait to share the winning images with the public."
TCPM founders Scott Shillum & Steve Wallington said: "We have founded The Calm Photography Movement to raise awareness of the role that photography can play in shining a light on men's mental health after losing close family and friends to suicide in the recent past. The aim of the movement is to raise awareness and funds for the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), an award winning charity dedicated to preventing male suicide. We are thrilled to have the support of Rankin & Nick Knight, along with the generous support of Lynx, Getty Images, Topman and our other suppliers and partners."
The judging panel included renowned photographers Rankin, Nick Knight and Monica Takvam, alongside the founders of TCPM Scott Shillum and Steve Wallington, founder of DMB David Birkitt, Senior Director of Content Development at Getty Images Tom Hind, art writer Carrie Scott, Global Vice President Axe / Lynx Rik Strubel and chair of CALM James Scroggs. Judges were tasked with reviewing the entries based on composition, originality, technical skills and observance of the brief.
British fashion photographer Nick Knight states: "In most societies, men feel forced into unrealistic and unachievable roles. This can create isolation, loneliness and despair and so when things go wrong – which in life they invariably do – men can feel they have no-one to turn to and no right to seek help from any quarter. I believe that the more we break away from using gender as a deciding factor in how we should behave, the more lives will be saved. I wholeheartedly support any initiative that helps raise awareness of male suicide and opens up the conversation, thus reducing this awful and unnecessary waste of precious life and its horrific toll on the wider victims, their friends and families."
The Calm Photography Movement runs from 10th – 19th May 2017 and admission is free. Getty Images Gallery is situated in central London, just a stone's throw away from Oxford Circus. Opening hours are from 10.00am to 5.30pm Monday to Friday and 12.00pm to 5.30pm Saturday.
Getty Images, a world leader in visual communications, has today announced it has signed a letter of agreement to purchase the business assets of its Latin American third party distributor, operating under the name Getty Images Latin America (GILA), taking over direct operation of its business enterprises in the region.
For the past eight years, GILA has operated as one of Getty Images' largest master delegates, building a solid base on which to support the company's market growth plans.
The deal follows Getty Images announcement of an expanded presence in Brazil late last year and reinforces the company's commitment to the growth of their Latin American base.
"The Latin American market is on the verge of exponential growth and presents a unique opportunity to leverage Getty Images' expertise and resources to provide a strengthened, local offering," said Getty Images Vice President, Latin America, Carlos Pinto. "There has been a growing demand for authentic local content from our global customer base, so we will be focused on investing in supporting the local photographer community."
The acquisition will close in stages over the next few months.

Chapter 22 - Yorick
Marcus came singing down the stairs "big fish, little fish, cardboard box", and I joined in. It was funny, and had just turned 5:15am. I was still a bit tired though from the constant nightmares about my parents, and Christian...
I ate up, but then fell asleep at the table.
I did wake up about fifteen minutes later though, because of the nightmares. I had screamed, according to Marcus. And apparently, this is exactly what Marcus hears every single night. Poor thing; he must be shattered.
"Sorry." I mumbled.
"What for? Because you have nightmares? Trust me, that's nothing to be sorry for. It's not your fault." He tapped me on the nose.
"Yeah, but I keep you awake." I argued.
"It's fine. I used to have a baby sister, and she woke me up more than you, so cheer up missy." He laughed.
I stuck my tongue out at him, and then started giggling. I went to the sink, and ran the tap for the washing up.
Marcus then joined me, and we had a mini water fight, which ended up in a lot of shrieking, and giggling.
I ended up soaked. Marcus took his top off... it was drenched.
He'd been working out... I just raised my eyebrows at him.
"Well you've got to do something when you don't have to study." He shrugged.
We went to our separate bedrooms, and got changed, I hung the wet clothes out on the radiators to dry, and then we went into the gym room to get in shape, ready for work. I couldn't wait to get back, where it was always really friendly.
We got out of the house for 6:40am, so we had twenty minutes to walk to HQ. It was a pleasant walk, and I found myself singing halfway there. I didn't even realise what I was singing until Marcus asked "you like Avril Lavigne?"
I shrugged. "Yeah; that song's always in my head." I had been singing 'He Wasn't'.
"If that's the way you feel, fine." He put his nose in the air, and we both burst into laughter.
We arrived at HQ with three minutes to spare.
Marcus ran in the other entrance, so I was left to punch in, on my own. I dumped my rucksack in my locker, turned the key, and hid the key and my mobile in my sock. I noticed it was very quiet; everybody must be hard at work. Yippee. Back to the same old thing. Day in, day out. Offenders. I'm just jumping for joy. Maybe. It would, of course, be a different story having Marcus by my side. I smiled to myself at the thought of this.
I walked into the grand hall where the board meeting was to be taking place, but it was dark. I fumbled around for the light switch. Trust me to be the first one here.
I finally found the light switch and there was the long table in the middle of the hall, and the huge swivel chair that Mr. Gee sat in for the meetings, but the swivel chair was facing away from the table. Mr. Gee couldn't have left it like that. He was a neat freak. And there was a used disposable coffee on the desk. He'd blow his top. I grabbed the coffee cup, and threw it in the bin (my aim was very accurate so I didn't actually need to walk over to the bin). I then tried to swivel the chair back around, but it was very heavy. I succeeded at last. It didn't surprise me that somebody was sitting in it. Not one bit.
"You don't seem surprised to see me." Yorick said, in his gravelly voice, a result from chain smoking cigars every day.
"I'm not." I sighed, bored. He wouldn't attack in our HQ.
I should probably inform you that Yorick assisted Miss. Guthrie at the YACR.
"You're not going to ask me why I came." He asked in his Russian accent, surprised, his eyebrows shooting about a metre up his long forehead.
"Well, I already know." I rolled my eyes.
"How could you possibly know?" He bellowed.
"Well, you're all the same. Not very original" I sighed, then imitated his Russian accent, and admittedly, imitated it very badly. "Spy on zee enemee, zen take over zee vorld."
"Ya, dat eez preety much eet. Fight mee." He sprang up from his seat very lightly, considering the bulk of him.
"Finally, some action" I grinned, wickedly.
There was a lot of circling. I then let him think he was getting me up against the wall, when I ducked through his legs, and bashed 'im on't bonce as my Uncle would say (he's from West Yorkshire). I knocked him cold out, and you have to admit, it was incredibly clever of me.
I reached into my sock for my Blackberry, but he had stood up, and was reaching down to me, I quickly shoved my mobile back into my sock, and let him fling me across the room, and out the window. Stupid man. I'm like a cat: stealthy, and I always land on my feet.
I climbed up the drainpipe, and came back in the window. I ran quickly but silently across the hall. I thumped him on the head from behind, then when he didn't fall unconscious, I did a high kick, which smacked him in his temple. I then thrust the palm of my hand up against his nose, hopefully breaking it, and at the same time, I kicked him in the groin. I suppose you could say that that was hitting below the belt... Literally.
He fell to the floor with a big thud, and this time, I sat down on top of him, so I'd know when he came conscious again.
I reached into my sock and then phoned Mr. Gee.
"Where are you, sir?" I asked.
"Oh, I forgot to call everyone to meeting. Are you in the grand hall?" He asked.
"Yeah; sat on top of Yorick Smirnov" I said casually.
"Why?" Mr. Gee asked.
"He snuck in. He's currently unconscious." I informed him.
"The boys will be with you in a matter of seconds." Mr. Gee told me not to worry.
"Thanks, he's incredibly bony for such a big guy. BTW I'm not worried." I then hung up.
There were the stronger boys from a few years above me came running in, and James, the youngest one (about my age) had to take a picture on his phone. I tutted, laughing.
"That'll be going on MySpace." He laughed.
"You dare." I dared him, with my scary face.
"Marcus was right; you are scary!" James cowered.
"Not really; I'm sweet and innocent." I gave him puppy-dog eyes.
"Come on; let's get him into one of those led cells." James laughed, and I stood up.
"Hold it right there!" A shrill voice came from across the great hall.
"Who be you?" James was confused.
"The name's Guthrie; Isabel Guthrie." She said, imitating James Bond, flipping her strawberry blonde curls back over her shoulder.
Martin's jaw dropped. He mouthed one word: sexy. I smacked him over the head.
Miss Guthrie leapt to the window, and then down to the ground, before anybody could move. You have to admit that she was very lithe and agile. I smiled discreetly to myself.
"We'll let that one go. She'll be back later." James decided.
"So? What are you going to do now?" I asked.
"Dunno; I'll probably just take him down to the cells and then chillax." James shrugged.

Wästberg decided to follow a special mission: The improvement of life quality by means of light. In order to complete that mission, the young Swedish lamps manufacturer cooperates with world famous designers.
Despite of the still short history of Wästberg, some big names are already part of the team: The names of Maarten Van Severen or David Chipperfield are already on the products of the Scandinavian. Wästberg achieved in establishing in the Nordic countries in an instant of time, and already won numerous design awards and appeared in big journals.
The secret of success, which has already attracted so many famous designers at Wästberg is as logical as simple: Wästberg's designers have the chance of realizing their visions with the most modern technology and the highest quality.
