Daily Summary on USD, Euro, GBP, JPY, CAD, AUD and NZD
USD - The dollar begins the week higher against nearly all of its major counterparts as the risk?off trade gains momentum. Financial markets opened lower this morning as investors begin to lose hope that global central bank stimulus can stave off further economic weakness. The result has been an intensifying flight to safety, thus pushing the dollar index to its highest level in more than two years. The current wave of jitters, clearly emanating from
the ongoing financial crisis in Europe, also amplified lower expectations for quarterly earnings set to kick off this afternoon. In the week ahead, there is no major data due until the middle of the week. On Wednesday, investors will take note of both the most recent reading of the trade balance and wholesale inventories. Thursday sees the release of the import price index, monthly budget statement, and weekly jobless claims, which will be closely watched after last Friday's disappointing NFP report. The week closes out with University of Michigan confidence and PPI data with slower price gains expected. While an improvement in data could help restore a bit of confidence, the dollar will likely remain well supported at the top of its recent ranges as slowing global growth and the ongoing European debt crisis provide plenty of reasons for investors to hold USD.
EUR - The euro fell to a fresh two?year low against the USD in early trading as the outlook for the Eurozone worsens. The common currency fell as low as 1.2250 during the Asian session before rebounding modestly after EU finance ministers met in Brussels to further discuss the implementation of the ESM - the region's proposed permanent bailout fund. The break lower also comes after the ECB cut interest rates last Thursday to an all?time low of 0.75%. However, investors continue to expect further cuts or other unconventional forms of monetary easing after ECB President Draghi told reporters that last week's cut may have only a muted impact on the Eurozone as growth remains weak with heightened uncertainty. Giving the market a new reason to worry, the yield on the Spanish 10?Yr government bond broke the key psychological 7% barrier this morning, a level that the government has previously deemed unsustainable. Despite last week's substantial declines (?3.3% against the USD and ?3.6% against the JPY), there appears room for further weakness with the 2010 low of 1.2152 versus the USD now the next clear level of support.
GBP - Sterling is slightly higher, but remains towards the bottom end of its recent ranges against its major counterparts. Weakness will likely persist in the near term as investors expect that the BoE's recent moves to pull the economy out of recession will have a limited impact. Data this morning showed that UK output unexpectedly contracted and business confidence dropped to the lowest level of the year. For the week ahead, there is not much economic data due out of the UK other than industrial production on Tuesday.
JPY - The yen steadily gained against its counterparts last week, and has extended those gains this morning as deteriorating regional data prompted a surge in demand for its relative safety. Japanese machine orders plunged by 14.8% versus the 2.6% contraction that was expected, and inflation in China cooled, adding to concern that global economic momentum is quickly slowing. However, sharp yen gains have been muted by expectations of forthcoming BoJ policy easing after Governor Shirakawa told reporters that the Bank is fully committed to powerful monetary easing until the 1% inflation target is met. The BoJ wraps up a two day meeting on Thursday, with range?bound trade in the yen to be expected ahead of any decision on future monetary policy.
Commodity Currencies - The commodity linked currencies are all marginally weaker this morning as risk aversion trumps modest gains in raw good prices. Oil rose to $85/bbl, gold was up to $1588/oz, and copper gained to $343/lb. The CAD reversed early losses against the USD as the price of oil, Canada's main export, pushed higher. However, the loonie remains near an all?time high against the EUR as Canada's AAA sovereign debt rating and 1% interest rates look increasingly attractive after last week's ECB rate cut and deteriorating sovereign debt market. The AUD fell to a monthly low against the USD after the Chinese CPI data unexpectedly fell, but has since rebounded modestly as commodity prices continue to push higher. As the main destination for Australian exports, Chinese economic growth has a substantial impact on the Aussie dollar. However, Australia has also retained its top AAA credit rating, making AUD ?denominated assets quite attractive to foreign investors. Data released this morning showed that foreign holdings of Australian debt rose to a record high in the second quarter with overseas investors now holding 76% of total Australian debt.
MXN - The Mexican peso stayed weak against the US dollar after Deputy Governor Manuel Ramos Rancia said the peso may remain volatile for years as Europe's sovereign debt crisis persists. Domestically, Mexico's annual inflation rate rose for a second month in June, accelerating to 4.34% from 3.85% the month before. Consumer prices climbed 0.46% in June, fueling an annual increase of 4.3%. However, central bank Governor Carstens predicted that inflation and consumer prices will ease towards the end of the year, and that much of the growth will depend on the US economy.
RMB - USD/CNY has weakened 0.1% from Friday's close after weaker CPI and PPI data. June's CPI rose 2.2% vs. a 3% rise in May y/y, below the government's target of 4%. PPI fell 2.1% after a 1.4% fall in May y/y. Premier Wen has cautioned of downward pressures to growth ahead of additional data due out this week which will include trade, new loan figures, IP, investment, retail sales and GDP. Expectations for Q2 GDP are 7.7%, lower than the 8.1% pace seen in Q1. Analysts expect that renewed activity by central bank officials will help to ensure a soft landing for GDP.

Apartment Balcony Privacy Help
1 Attachment(s)
Hey guys Happy Holidays,
I was wondering if you could help me figure something out. I live at an apartment complex with a terrace/balcony that sort of looks like the picture attached. I noticed some folks in the neighborhood have privacy slats (thicker than fence slats) installed horizontally that look incredible, while some folks have installations that look incredibly awful. I was wondering what is the best option for this type of balcony and how should I go about installing the slats?
A picture of the ones with the slats would sure help.
How's the HOA going to feel about it?
As simple way would be to use some vinyl lattis held on with some plastic cable ties.
That way there's no drilling.
They also sell stips of material that are really made for chain link fencing that cold be woven into the spindles.
I'll try my best to get a photo of one after work.
HOA generally allows it, I just could never figure out how some installed it. From a distance they look like they were weaved through the bar in a carbon fiber like pattern, but at any rate, I'll capture a photo of one.
Could be the material used for sun screens on green houses. Just guessing.
Bump from the dead

Hey guys, it has been a long while. Sadly, I still have not accomplished this goal as of yet.
Thanks for the suggestion JoeCap but those materials were not sufficient for the job.
I did however get some pictures last week from a fair distance. Still wondering if someone can help me identify the materials needed for this project.
All help is greatly appreciated.

They just look like the plastic privacy slats that Joe mentiond used with chain link fences. Here's just one online supplier but you should have no problem finding them locally. http://fence-material.com/feprslboloch.html
It looks like with the green one they wrapped black chain link fence around the railing first.
The tan and red ones look to just be weaved between the slats.
Thanks guys, I will look into this project further this week and update with results.
Ayuh,.... You could weave, Whatever fabric or material 'tween the spindles that ya Want,....
Canvas or vinyl, in 'bout any color you can imagine,....
Burlap would work, 'n is cheap, but would rot out after a couple years,...
Same with a bamboo screen,....
How about you consider some hanging plants instead of just fence slats?
A cheap way to go -buy some aluminum or vinyl mini-blinds, take them apart and remove the slats. Attach the slats to a couple of wooden or PVC uprights with a space between them, 1/4-1/2". Use nylon cable ties to attach the uprights top and bottom each side to the railing.

When you replace the fan belt on your 1988 Toyota Corrolla, you can't drive faster than when the car was brand new. Even with the new part, the car, with all of its wear and tear, is likely to be slower than when you first drove it off the lot.
No one expects that a trip to a mechanic for repairs is going to make their car better than new, we all know a mechanic only maintains a vehicle, he doesn't engineer it to be better. When we want a faster, more efficient and more powerful car than the one we have, we don't rely on old gears, we look to the engineering of new ones.
A similar relationship exists when it comes to improving our country, a relationship however that our political parties have perverted. Because instead of trying to improve our society by engineering innovation through public education, the priority has become the maintenance of old gears through public health care. And what Canada is left with is a less than powerful society that gets horrible mileage and has more than a few problems with its steering.
Public education, the only thing that can advance a country, was not always as neglected as it is now by our leaders. When Canada was first founded and for decades after, all the education needed to join the work force was free because our country knew bettering its people was the only way it would better itself.
High school became fully funded by the provinces because for years that diploma was all that was needed to enter trades, business, or even apprentice as a lawyer and engineer. Of Canada's 33 founding fathers only one went to university. But as times have changed and jobs have become more specialized the public provision of education has not kept up. The British Columbian government forecasts that by 2020 77.3% of all jobs will require costly post-secondary education.
Health care on the other hand, though certainly having its flaws, has become the focus of our country. This is a problem because, by itself, public health care does not better our society, it merely maintains it.
This misplacing of social priorities, health care before education, is like believing your car's mechanic is more important than its engineer; that maintaining parts is more important than their design and innovation. If that was true we wouldn't have cars today, we would just have really healthy horses.
Health care does not build a better society, only education does. If the goal of government is to improve our country and not merely maintain it, its first priority should be providing public post-secondary education.

Nottingham, Aug 29: Buoyed by their big victory that was achieved on the back of a clinical all-round display, a rejuvenated India will look to continue the winning momentum and take an unassailable 2-0 lead when they lock horns with England in the third one-dayer here Saturday.
Full Tour Coverage
The first ODI in Bristol was abandoned without a ball being bowled and India hammered the hosts by 133 runs (D/L) in the second game in Cardiff to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match ODI series.
Having recorded his first century outside the sub continent with a blazing 75-ball 100, Suresh Raina will look to carry on in same fashion while Ravindra Jadeja was the pick of the bowlers in the second game.
The two teams have played at Trent Bridge earlier this summer and there were two resultants from that first Test here.
First, the pitch for that match was deemed poor by the match referee David Boon and the groundsman received an official warning from the ICC. There was nothing in it for the bowlers who toiled hard as the batsmen - mostly tailenders from both sides - made merry.
If a similar pitch is doled out for this ODI match though, no one will be complaining as the weekend crowd will get to see a high scoring encounter, hopefully with the top-order scoring this time around.
The second resultant though had more far reaching consequences on how that Test series panned out. The Ravindra Jadeja-James Anderson clash has only recently receded from memory and this match has come about to enliven the episode again.
The Indian management had pressed ahead in their bid to get the fast bowler banned for allegedly pushing Jadeja, so much so that they lost focus on the task at hand and lost the series 1-3 despite taking a 1-0 lead.
India: MS Dhoni (captain and wicketkeeper), Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, Stuart Binny, Sanju Samson, R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Karn Sharma, Mohit Sharma, Umesh Yadav, Mohammad Shami, Dhawal Kulkarni, Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
England: Alastair Cook (captain), Moeen Ali, James Anderson, Gary Ballance, Ian Bell, Jos Buttler (wicketkeeper), Steven Finn, Harry Gurney, Alex Hales, Chris Jordan, Eoin Morgan, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, James Tredwell, Chris Woakes.
Match starts 3PM IST
1st ODI - Abandoned due to rain
2nd ODI - India won by 133 runs (D/L)
Fourth ODI on September 2 at Edgbaston, Birmingham

Hi. Does anyone know what type of paint I should be using on the four bottom panels, (chamber covers, heat shields, what ever you want to call them) on my Black 93 Aspencade. Does it have to be a heat resistant paint? I don't want to powder coat and I may only do two of the four panels if I can get a good paint match. Some metallic silver spray paints such as Rustoleum and Valspar match pretty close at least looking at the cap. Any recommendations?
What type of paint to use for four bottom panels on 93 Aspen
Anything goes - doesn't fit any other category!

Re: What type of paint to use for four bottom panels on 93 A
FYI on the cap color, that does not always reflect paint color....I am looking for a dark dark brown and the Krylon, Rustoleum, etc., etc., always have everything come out a milk chocolate brown. Do a test to make sure.

Assembled my bed, the instruction sheet is NOT clear but I managed without issue; I decided having mattress & box on the floor instead, much more secure, nice & clean modern style.Read More
I wanted a black tufted headboard bed, but it was unavailable at the time of my purchase, but I am quite pleased with the white bed ... I am very happy that I allowed the movers to assemble my bed ... they did a great job and it feels very sturdy.Read More
My sister and good friend ended up purchasing this same exact bed a few months after I did. They both love it and nothing can beat the price!Read More
I absolute LOVE this bed frame....it's modern and beautifully made, except for the slats, which were a bit saggy when I put the mattress on them. I just took them out and put a box spring on the floor inside the frame and it works great. Love it!Read More
My shipment has been delayed by 3 weeks. No contact from overstock. After much wait I contacted them and was told that the shipment is either damaged or incomplete. So they couldn't fulfill the order. Worst customer experience ever. I'm never going to recommend this website to anyone.Read More
Gorgeous bed! Very easy to assemble. Put it together in less then one hour.Read More
We are very happy with this purchase.Read More
I wanted to liven my bed room and so I bought this platform bed. I keep getting compliments from visitors (family members) lol and they think the bed is sexy lol and so do I. I love the space I have when I sleep, I could even sleep sideways and still have room lol. I'm in love with this bed.Read More
Beautiful bed. Stylish. Great price. Like it a lot. Issue was delivery. One month after order, bed was delivered but overstock said they won't deliver to my 2nd floor apartment unit. Delivery is only up to curb. However the bed board was damaged during delivery we had to reject. Make up delivery was made another month later. Again only dropped it off at bottom of stairs and wouldn't even take it to our door. I like the bed a lot but the worst delivery experience ever. Waited two full months after order date. Won't order big furniture from overstock again.Read More
I've been on the hunt for a bed this style for a while now. I had seen king sized beds in similar styles for well over 1k. When I found this bed for this price I ounces. I also got to use an exclusive email coupon which saved me a good amount of $. When the bed first arrived it was damaged in transit. They took it back with no issue and sent another. When I received the other I only noticed after I accepted that's there was a tiny tear on the side panel which I glued myself to keep from tearing further. Other than that the bed was amazing! People are wowed and think it was really expensive. My only suggestion is that you inspect well before signing to make sure it wasn't damaged. Beautiful bed and price!Read More
good looking, sleek design, well constructed. unfortunately we got a kitten at about the same time we got this bed. said kitten has put many claw marks in leather headboard. a friend suggested applying vick's vapor rub on the leather as a deterrent to the cat as well as pleasantly clear our nasal passages while we sleep. it works - a little late but the bed still looks pretty goodRead More
I really don't like the leatherlike material used , it looks cheap, and too shiny for my taste. it doesn't look like leather in anyway. I bought a leatherlike dining chair also from Ostock , they look like a leather and feels like leather but not this one. I have a king size comfortpedic bed, there are empty corners and didn't fit very well. my fiancé didn't have a problem with assembly but he is really good with assembling stuff though. if I can only return it , but returning will cost more money. the only thing that I like about this product is, it is low to the ground, it is easy to get in and out of bed. :)Read More
Beautiful bed. The quality is good. It is glossy and bright white, but it doesn't look cheesy. I have receive complements from 3 guests. The only thing I don't like, I am using it with a regular mattress. Regulars mattresses have the corners rounded, so the corners of the bed look empty. A memory foam mattress which has square corners will look better, fuller, on this bed.Read More
Absolutey glad I purchased ... using it with the box spring ... was a bit low to get out of otherwise.. Definatley makes a statement in the room ... Only bad note was the legs did not have pre-drilled holes in the platform ... Love It!Read More
I am writing this having had the bed for a few weeks, now. It is very large, and very low to the ground. It went up very easily with one person doing the construction. It's garnered compliments from everyone who has seen it. The material has a high gloss plastic look and feel too it. It took some getting used to, but has grown on me. If you are using a memory foam mattress and are worried about it falling through the slats, the entire bottom of the bed is lined with them, so it has plenty of support. Combined with an 8 inch memory foam mattress, this bed has been plenty comfortable.Read More

"Les Rendez-vous du Musée McCord 2.0" is designed for all our virtual visitors who would like to learn French. You can test your knowledge of French with the help of online educational materials. These videos and worksheets offer a unique opportunity to explore the customs and traditions of Quebec and Canada.
Drawing on its experience, the McCord Museum is a vital contributor to the francization of newcomers to the city. It has recently collaborated with a francization specialist to prepare an accurate profile of these new immigrants and a program to meet their expectations and needs.
Since April 5, 2016, they will be invited to discover the permanent exhibition Montreal – Points of View. Visits will be led by facilitators who have received special training for the program.
They will be encouraged to ask questions about the artefacts, share their own memories, and compare their own culture with that of Montrealers. A workshop will conclude the visit.
Thanks to the generosity of a Montreal philanthropist, admission to the program will be free to the first 1,000 visitors.

The Candy Man
I bet you didn't know Willy Wonka had fan-fiction written about him... :)
Skin like frosted velvet,
Red lips, plummy, sweet,
His eyes are made of chocolate,
As are his hands and feet.
The taste of him is sugar,
The smell of him is cream.
He wears leather gloves and leather shoes,
And trousers without seams.
His jacket, soft and fitted
To his skin it almost melts;
And although it looks like velvet,
It's just rhubarb-coloured felt.
His paisley shirts are silken
Like the waterfall of hair,
Which, though best when long and lovely,
Stops just short of there.
His smile—
His smile contains the secrets,
Men of twice his age don't know—
The cruel-tipped lips above his skin
Are scarlet red 'gainst snow.
But most of all, his voice
In a whisper-volume screams…
'We are the music-makers,
The dreamers of all dreams.'

New floor in stand up crawlspace - vapor barrier
I'm close to pouring a new floor in our stand up crawl space. Would it hurt to have *two* layers of vapor barrier below the concrete -- one on the dirt, then the gravel, and then another layer between the gravel and poured slab?
Is this are going to be finished out when your done?
We use foam around here under the floors to insulate them before the pore.
I hope your not planning on poring this floor yourself unless you experianced at do this type work.
It's a one shot deal and no going back without tearing it out if it's done wrong.

Title: It Was Night
Author: Pyrrha Cottonwood
Rating; PG-13
Spoilers: Everything up to 'Objects in Space'
Summary: Kaylee and Simon's coda to 'Objects in Space.'
Author's Note: This stems from a joint project between Harriet Vane and myself—we both decided to write our thoughts on the events following 'Objects in Space.' Therefore, I give my thanks to Harriet Vane for the corrections/comments. As always, the sober ying to my raging yang.
Disclaimer: This story and its universe belong to Joss Whedon and Mutant Enemy. I make no profit from this entertainment.
It was night on Serenity and everything was different. In addition to keeping his ears perked for any sounds his little sister might make across the hall, Simon was also listening for . . . anything. For the bump in the dark that would pull him from his bed, throw him into alert, beat him to a pulp and shoot him in the leg. His mouth twisted into a wry little smile.
No need to get paranoid. . .
Leaning across his bed, he picked up his encyclopedia and electronic tablet, wincing as the wound in leg shrieked. One of the first lesson he learned in medical school was the dangers inherent in a physician prescribing his or her own medication. As such, he'd been reluctant to give himself a full dosage and instead calculated one for a girl River's weight. It took the edge off, but left his mind sharp and attentive. Opening his encyclopedia, he slipped in the tab for the Cortex and called up the Journal of the Osiris Medical Academy. Just because he was stranded out in the black didn't mean he wasn't obligated to stay abreast of the latest medical advancements.
I would be there right now, if she hadn't. . .
Simon flinched a little as he recalled his words to Kaylee. Self-pity was a sweetly rationed treat in his life, reserved only for late-night vigils beside his sister's bed. He had no right to drag it out into the daylight, giving those guilty thoughts more power than he ought. Someday—tomorrow, perhaps—he and River would have to sit down and talk about the things she'd said on the bounty hunter's ship. He'd nearly wept with guilt and relief and love when he saw her lurching down the hall, swimming even in Serenity's smallest EV suit. She needed to know what while he didn't have many things here, with her, he wouldn't have anything back on Osiris without her.
Then he heard it—a soft shuffle, the sound of someone masking steps, dusting his or her fingers gently along the walls instead of turning on a light. His body coiled, the pain in his leg forgotten, his only thought that he must get up, must stop whoever it was before he got to River's door—
"Simon?" A whisper touched his ears, shaking with its own fear.
"Kaylee?" he whispered back, sagging back against his headboard. He forced his fingers to release their death-grip on the tablet, his stylus falling onto the floor.
The girl appeared in his doorway, backlit by the muted light of the common room. She was dressed for bed in a pair of mismatched, cheap cotton pajamas, clean and warm-looking. He could tell she'd been crying.
"Is something wrong?" he said softly as she padded into his room, her stocking feet sliding across the cool metal floor. She sat carefully on the edge of his bed, paying close mind to his injured leg.
"I thought you were supposed to be resting," she scolded, plucking his encyclopedia from his lap.
"This is resting," he countered, setting the tablet on his bedside table, his notes fading into darkness as the machine turned itself off.
"Teleomertic Chain Decay after Magnetic Coratid Therapy," she read, somewhat clumsily. "That doesn't sound like bedtime reading."
Simon smiled, taking the tiny computer from her hands and placing it atop his tablet. "It's an acquired taste, I suppose."
An awkward silence played itself out for a moment as Simon studied the sticky residue of tears on Kaylee's cheeks. He wondered if she knew he could see that. He wondered how to ask her what she'd been crying about. He watched her hands, folded on her lap, now, plucking at the material of her pants, then. The pants had little blue and yellow stars; the top had a whole flock of pink butterflies skating across her chest and up over her left shoulder. The shirt was buttoned all the way to her neck, even though Simon could tell the collar was biting into her flesh, just a little.
"Can't you sleep?" he asked at last, hoping he didn't sound impatient or rude.
"I can sleep just fine," she answered. And then she did something that shouldn't have surprised him, but still did. Turning onto her hands and knees, she crawled over and behind him, squeezing herself between him and the wall, her arm sliding over his chest, her legs sandwiching his uninjured one. Her reddened eyes were challenging and defiant in the dim glow of his reading light. They seemed to remind him that it wasn't like they'd never slept together before. At least this time, he probably would be able to turn his neck all way round when he woke up.
"If the captain catches you in here, he'll kill you," Simon whispered as he turned off the light. He couldn't think of anything else to say, so succinct and confident was her act.
"No," she countered, wriggling around as he settled down on his pillows. "He'll kill you."
"Oh, well, then. Never mind." He placed his arm around her waist, and then moved it to her shoulder, where it settled, somewhat more formally.
"I can get outta here without him knowing," she assured him. And then she continued, perhaps feeling the need to explain herself. "My room was too quiet. I kept . . . listenin'. 'Nara's havin' tea with the cap'n and River's already asleep."
"What about Book?" he teased. "Or Zoë and Wash? I'm sure they'd let you sleep between them."
Kaylee reached over and pinched him, under his left arm. If he hadn't known already, that act alone would have convinced him she had siblings of her own. She knew exactly where to pinch.
"I bet you couldn't slip a sheet a' paper between the two a' them," she giggled. Simon felt a faint heat rise to his cheeks, oddly, he thought, considered how packed he and Kaylee were themselves at this moment.
"I told him where River was," she said suddenly, all the laughter gone from her voice. Her confession seeped into the fabric of his shirt, hissing damply against the skin beneath it. He thought she was starting to cry again, although he couldn't tell in the dark.
"It's all right," he soothed numbly, his hand moving over her hair, as if she were his sister and this was a dance they'd done over and over. But she was bigger than River, warmer, and he was having some trouble adjusting to this new rhythm.
"It ain't," she insisted, and he did then, for certain, feel a few tears smearing onto his shirt. Her hand curled into a fist, taking a good deal of blanket material with it. "You wouldn't a' done it. The cap'n wouldna' done it. I helped him find her."
"So did I," Simon admitted, working the blanket from her fist. He felt her shock, felt it freeze her body so that, for a moment, it was if a wooden statue lay immobile beside him. "He forced our hands, all of us. But it turned out all right in the end." He had a talent, his mother had once said, for downplaying the past.
"What'd he say to ya? Ta force your hand?" she asked. Simon turned his face from her, staring at the drawers and shelves that made up the other side of his room.
Don't make me say it, he thought. It wouldn't do either of us any good. But this was Kaylee, cuddled against him in her casual, plebian way, well-versed at reading a boy's body language with the length of her own body.
"Cap'n made me tell him," she admitted, her voice a hoarse little shamed whisper. The sound grated against his throat as if he were choking the words out. "He could tell that I hadn't told all what that bounty hunter said and did. He sat me in his bunk and made me tell."
"What do you mean, 'what he did'?" Simon echoed, his lips stiff and his heart tight as a fist in his chest.
"He didn't do nothin'," she reassured him, but her voice belied the assurance. "Jus' talked it up."
"What did Captain Reynolds do?" Simon asked. "When you told him?"
Kaylee shrugged, her shoulder bumping up, nearly knocking his chin. "I couldn't see 'im. My hands were like this."
She mimed moving her free hand over her eyes. When she dropped it back down across his chest, it was damp.
"But I heard 'im. Breaking somethin'. Cussin'." Her voice was thick and sticky with tears and Simon moved his hand from her shoulder back to her waist, pushing her a little closer. "He said I was his girl and he wouldn't let nothin' like that ever happen again."
"He won't," Simon promised, surprised by his own confidence.
"Weren't no one could help me," she whispered, her voice empty and disillusioned. Simon patted her awkwardly. He wasn't sure how to comfort her—she was his comfort.
"He's dead now," he said instead, making the sentence a brisk little slice.
"It don't matter. You do it, too, don't you? Listen all night now? It's our own home, our own beds and hallways and don't none of us feel safe here nomore." She paused, and then curled her hand against his chest, under her chin. "I don't know why I can't jus' be brave. Like you and River is."
"There are many of types of courage, Kaylee," Simon said, wanting to say more.
He just didn't know how to articulate it. How to tell her that his type of courage was good against the incidental death treat, but her type of courage was good for the other ninety-nine percent of daily occurrences. He didn't know why he could stare down a barrel of a gun and feel that odd, still sort of icy inner calm and yet was terrified by the realization that he might be very well falling in love with this girl. But she, on the other hand, held tight to this same realization, accepting it was a blithe grace that astounded him. It was an unfair trade off, he thought, that in order to live without a fear of death, you had to accept a certain fear of life.
"Well, I ain't got a one of them," Kaylee said mournfully.
"That's not true. You untied yourself, you unlocked all the cabins. River and I would be—if—if you hadn't done that. That's probably the most courageous thing any of us did last night. He would have just killed me, but he would have hurt you, Kaylee."
Kaylee shivered a little at the thought. "I jus' always thought . . . I thought that I could do all what the cap'n and Zoë and Jayne do. They always make it look so easy. Point and shoot. Someone sticks a gun at you, jus' make smart remarks 'n smile. I always thought I could do it."
And I never thought I could, Simon thought. It was funny, but for so long when he first came aboard here, he'd been certain that if he dressed like them, if he drank with them, if he told blue tales and laughed at ribald stories with them, he'd lose himself. But time and convenience and the very human desire to just belong had worn him down. And he'd been surprised to find that he wasn't losing himself—he was finding himself and losing them: his parents, his friends, the hospital, his oath. Like Shan Yu's parable of the volcano, except no one was holding him over the fire; he was walking up to it of his own volition and finally meeting Simon Tam. Discovering that he could, indeed, face down a pistol. And steal, lie and swear. Take human life, even, and still sleep soundly at night. Could even, he thought smirking, sleep with a girl he did not yet love and still consider himself respectful. They were realizations at once disturbing and empowering.
"You got pretty quiet. You sleepin'? Kaylee whispered, her breath kind of warm and wet near his neck. He turned to look at her, barely visible save for the light reflecting off her eyes, making her look manic and unpredictable. His mouth was open as if to speak, and hers was, too, very near his. For a moment, they just hovered like that, eyes hooded, breath slow and shy. She turned away first.
"Don't worry, Doctor. I ain't gonna jump ya," she teased him weakly, twisting her capable little hands into claws and mimicking a cat pouncing on his chest. "You just been shot. I think even Jayne'd take a rain check."
Simon laughed, blushing, fussing with the blankets until they were just the way he liked them. Well, very nearly the way he liked them—Kaylee threw an element of chaos into his precise system.
"I wouldn't even wanna," she confessed, her voice dropping into serious tones again. "After all what that bounty hunter said."
A sarcastic little joke rose to his lips, something relating to the seriousness of her trauma, if even Kaylee didn't want a lively little roll, but he held himself in check, thankfully. There seemed to be a inverse relationship between the frequency of his vest-wearing and the frequency of the smart-alecky remarks that snapped from his mouth. He had an ability to hurt Kaylee that frightened him.
"It won't happen again," he promised idly. "We just gotta keep a better eye on each other."
Gotta, he thought. Have to. Have to. That, too, he was losing. He'd even used the subjunctive improperly—twice—when telling Kaylee of his naked, drunken dares. In a moment of anger, he'd said ''verse' to Early, a syncopation he'd never used before in his life. Already his mother's aristocratic inflections were seeping from his tone; they were, in fact, already gone from River's. He wondered what day would come first: the day he wandered about with a gun strapped to his hip like Mal and Zoë, or the day 'ain't' slipped casually from his lips.
"This is nice," Kaylee slurred sleepily against his chest, their cocoon of blankets making everything seem neat and safe. "I like this."
Me, too, Simon thought but he didn't say it. "Well, don't get too comfortable," he warned instead. "River customarily wakes up screaming in about three hours."
"A wake-up call," she murmured dreamily. "Just like at one of them fancy hotels."
"The glass," Simon asked wryly. "Half empty or half full?"
"I am a little thirsty," she admitted, opening one eye. "Do you have some water?"
"No." A beat. "It's the dope talking."
"Poor Simon," Kaylee cooed, patting him on the chest.
"Are you sleeping?" he asked. She nodded, her hair tickling the underside of his chin.
"Okay," he said at last. But he didn't sleep. He stayed awake for a long, long time. Listening.

Mid-morning, west London
Cheerful Bob Ainsworth, the mid-ranking defence minister put up to defend the British-to-Iraqi hand over in Basra, sounded defensive on Radio 4's Today programme. As well he might. As of now, "things are not as good as we'd like them to be," Sergeant Major Ainsworth admitted to John Humphrys more than once.
Take a look at the Guardian Films/ITV News interview with Major General Jahil Khalaf , Basra's new police commander, and make up your own mind. His handling of the film's questions show that Khalaf is a sensitive and subtle man. "Be patient," he gently advises British soldiers' mothers who fear their sons may have died in vain.
Good advice. All sides in this bad business have supported serious mistakes. Let us suspend our reckless (and less reckless) predictions - for what was, after all, the true cradle of all civilisations - and see what actually happens to Iraq in the next few years.
In March 2003 I unenthusiastically decided that the Bush-Blair option was the least bad one available, partly on the basis that the paralysis, cowardice and indifference of the international community over Bosnia and Rwanda had proved so bloody in the 90s.
I remain of that view. But all the dreadful consequences that flowed from the mismanagement of the occupation have happened. As today's Guardian's editorial points out, at least 85,000 Iraqis have died, 4,000 Americans, 174 British soldiers. And this weekend we have been reminded - as Khalaf reports in dismay - that 45 women have been killed in Basra for "immoral" conduct in just three months.
"Where are the educated people, the champions of women and human rights, why have people kept silent? I don't understand," the general asks in the film. One answer is that many are understandably frightened, others may well support reactionary militias because they call themselves the "resistance" and the "insurgency" when some are also gangsters - and worse.
If the British army was naive in arming some of the bad guys ("They did not mean to create a mess in Basra," as Khalaf says) surely so too were many of its critics - in Basra and in armchairs closer to home.
DESPITE helping my son move flat and choosing a Christmas tree with the grandson at the weekend, I also managed to stumble on a terrific ideological dispute of which I had previously been ignorant.
Ian Jack wrote in Saturday's Guardian about the dispute between Bengal's ruling Communist Party of India (Marxist) and peasants in the rural district of Nandigram who are resisting being turned into a special economic zone in the latest twist of the CPI(M)'s latest Chinese-style market-socialist drive. It's the contradictions and the intellectual wriggles among more advanced progressives than me that one enjoys from a safe distance. As elsewhere - see above - it can't be much fun close up.
I SEE from my Sunday Telegraph that Martin Bright, the delightful and thoughtful political editor of the New Statesman, has written a boisterous article ("How Gordon Brown is losing Britain's left") setting out with enthusiastic gloom everything that has gone wrong for the government lately. Polly Toynbee's rage about law and order policy is cited as a key exhibit for the prosecution. By coincidence, when putting out old newspapers for the newly efficient council recycle team at the weekend, I stumbled on the September 29 edition of the NS's rival, the Spectator, a multi-article special with a cover headline "Get out of this, Dave".
Beside it was cowboy Cameron on a horse with a noose round his neck. Inside, assorted boy wonders, plus dear old Norman Tebbit, who makes Cassandra look like a manic optimist, warned Dave he was in such big trouble, way behind in the polls, that Governor Arnie Schwarzenegger had cried off visiting Blackpool rather than be seen with such a loser.
Instead he was facing his "second and possibly his last conference as Tory party leader. He was the future once. Now we are in the extraordinary position where serious Tories talk about Mr Cameron being gone from Christmas after losing an autumn election," as one sage put it. "Most people in Westminster believe the election to be lost already."
My line is that we all make mistakes and that we all sometimes write guff. But since at the time I refused to write off Cameron - and kept saying there would be no election anyway - I feel entitled to say, "Cheer up, Martin. It's Christmas and, come the new year, Gordon may even surprise you."
I'm not saying he will, only steering clear of fashionable gloom in all quarters. There are enough real things to worry about.

Triumphant Journey
Handbell choir (3-6 octaves) with optional 3-6 octave handchimes - Grade 3-
Composed by Cynthia Dobrinski. General, Sacred. Handbell score. Published by Hope Publishing - Digital (H1.2573).
Item Number: H1.2573
This original from Cynthia Dobrinski is a symbolic story of persevering hope and faith. The optimistic main theme marches along energetically and depicts a person's walk through life. The theme is then altered and presented in a minor key with various techniques to picture the difficulties of life. A third section, with optional chimes, contains a new melody underneath a steady walking figure played by mallets on suspended bells. This new theme is strong yet sweet and suggests the undergirding help and comfort of friends, family, and the Almighty. The return of the joyful 'A' section ends the piece triumphantly ' suitable for concert use or as the prelude or offertory in a your worship service.

HPD Steady Blue Lights Must Stay On
Honolulu police officers must leave their steady blue lights on during the day. This is a new policy which went into effect about a month ago. It's to make them more visible on the streets. Previously, officers were only required to have their steady blue lights on at night. The exception is if they're on the lookout for speeders or drunk drivers, they're not required to turn on their lights. Also, beginning July 1, all officers in uniform will be required to cover their tattoos with long sleeved uniforms or makeup. Those who don't comply face disciplinary action.

Sounds like common sense awareness.....

Many of the LEOs on the forum have probably heard this before. Your taking a report after a mugging an the wife says I saw them looking at us earlier or I saw them outside earlier something along those lines.
When my wife and I were much younger we were at a picnic an a acquaintance of ours who had to much to drink snuck up in back of me an grabbed me from behind. I elbowed him in the face an was pretty embarrased about it. My wife told me later that she Saw him doing it but he gave her the finger to the lips like be quiet its just a joke. We talked about that at some length. To where now she tells me when she sees anything out of the ordinary. Four eyes are better than two talk about it to your signifcant others make sure you communicate your SA it can only help, never take it for granted that they are on the same page. Some think my husband carrys he will take care of it an fall into a false sense of security.
Sounds like common sense awareness.....
Don"t let stupid be your skill set....
And Shepards we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee,
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, So that our feet may swiftly carry out thy command,
And we shall flow a river forth to Thee, And teeming with souls shall it ever be,
Ocassionally when we go somewhere and have been seated, my wife will say,
Have your figured it out yet?
I reply, Figured what out?
She says, The order you plan on killing everyone in this room if the SHTF?
I say yes I have. I Love you Baby
Okslim, Thats funny, I often see posts where someone asks how to get my wife on board with cc. Sounds like we have two of the good ones. Mine is the one who says do we have enough ammo, I bringing my small purse carry my speed strip.
I myself have been guilty of this often, and I am always amazed at how perceptive my wife is to potential threats.
Rowe/Higgins 2016!
I tend to agree that women have a greater sense of SA but also feel they need to verbalize it with their partner.this goes both ways if we see something strange no matter tell your partner they might have seen something else that when both pieces of info are known may lead to a different course of action.
We've been married 34 years and much of it was while I was a police officer. When we go into a restaurant, she asks me if a particular table is alright and asks me where I want to sit at the table....back to the wall. She understands and shoots very well herself.
My wife and I have been married 44 years (time is flying) and she always lets me seat back to the wall and then I identify our way out if needed. The rest of it is to enjoy the meal and setting!

Funny I stumbled on this thread. At Target today, I asked my wife if she liked the outfit the guy coming right towards us had on, and she said "What guy?" :-\ On the way to the register, I asked "Was that a dude?" The person was crossing about 15 feet in front of us. She had no idea anyone was there.
My patient wife of 38 years knows I don't like to sit with my back facing "incoming". She gladly gives up that spot, and actually if we are with friends she "maneuvers" a bit so I get the wall.
Granted there are a lot more risky places to be other than sitting facing the wrong way in a restaurant, especially if it's a nice place.

MIAMI -- Ricky Nolasco was happy to put two bad starts behind him.
The 23-year-old right-hander allowed one earned run over seven innings and drove in two runs as the Florida Marlins beat the Washington Nationals 4-2 on Monday night.
Nolasco (7-6) gave up five hits and struck out four for his first win in three starts.
"I was keeping my fastball down in the zone and I had a good breaking ball and changeup," Nolasco said. "I had good command."
Nolasco was 0-2 in his last two starts with an ERA of 25.41, including a 9-1 loss to Washington in which he gave up eight runs (seven earned) over four innings on July 3. He is coming off an outing where he went 1 2/3 innings in a 17-3 loss to the New York Mets on July 8 in which he gave up six hits and a career-high nine earned runs.
"It happens and I learn from it and get over it," Nolasco said. "You can't keep that in the back of your mind. When you have outings like that it just makes you hungrier to get back out there. I know I'm better than that."
Tony Armas Jr. (6-5) gave up four runs and five hits in five innings. He walked two and struck out four.
"I didn't get the result I wanted but I got out there and threw some quality pitches," Armas said. "I made a mistake (against Nolasco) and I paid for it. I threw him some good sliders. That one just stayed up. What can I say?"
Armas was recalled from his rehabilitation assignment and reinstated from the 15-day disabled list earlier Monday. The 28-year-old Armas, who had a strained right forearm, threw 92 pitches before being relieved by Micah Bowie.
"Overall, he pitched pretty good," Nationals manager Frank Robinson said. "There was still the high pitch count. He couldn't go deep. You always look lifeless when you're not putting people on base. We just couldn't put anything together."
Taylor Tankersley pitched a scoreless eighth for Florida and Joe Borowski worked the ninth for his 18th save in 20 opportunities.
Florida went ahead 4-1 with a three-run fourth inning. Mike Jacobs led off with a double and scored on Jeremy Hermida's one-out single. With two outs, the Marlins loaded the bases with a single and a walk and Nolasco drove in two with a line drive single over second base.
"It was a short slider over the plate and I just tried to stay over the middle with it," Nolasco said.
Washington closed to 4-2 in the seventh with an unearned run. Nick Johnson reached second on a two-base error when right fielder Hermida couldn't hang on to a fly ball. He moved to third on a fly caught by Hermida in foul territory and scored on Jose Guillen's single.
The Marlins took a 1-0 lead in the first on Hanley Ramirez's leadoff homer over the scoreboard in left. It was his second home run in two days and third leadoff homer of the season.
"It was a curveball and I got a good swing on the ball and got on top of it," Ramirez said. "I'm just trying to get on base."
The Nationals tied the game in the fourth on Felipe Lopez's 10th homer of the season and first as a National. Lopez was acquired in a trade with Cincinnati on July 13.
- To make room for Armas, C Matt LeCroy was designated for assignment.
- Nationals 2B Jose Vidro left the game in the fourth inning with a slight left hamstring strain and is listed as day-to-day. He was replaced by Marlon Anderson.
- Washington's Ryan Zimmerman extended his hitting streak to 16 games.
- The Marlins have homered in 13 of 15 games in July and have 20 home runs this month.
- Jacobs has an 11-game hitting streak.

Navtej Pall Singh Sandhu, 40, said to be a resident of London, was arrested in Puerto Rico and is held in Dallas. Along with two other men, he is said to have organised the shipping of thousands of aliens to the US.
The illegal immigrants - as many as 300 a month - were sought by Americans running low-cost businesses, such as fast-food restaurants, who needed cheap labour. Several different rings were said to have brought in as many as 12,000 people over three years.
Operation Seek and Keep involved arrests in the US, Puerto Rico and the Bahamas. The US attorney's office in Dallas charged 31 people last week with bringing illegal aliens into the US, transporting them within the country, money laundering and conspiracy.
"This is the largest alien smuggling organisation ever dismantled in US history," said Janet Reno, the US Attorney General. But the numbers involved are only a tiny fraction of those who come over the border from Mexico every day.
The immigrants were flown by the smugglers to Moscow, then on to Cuba. From there they were sent to either Ecuador or the Bahamas, and on to Miami. Many ended up in New Jersey, but one of the hubs for smuggling was Dallas.
The smugglers charged clients about $20,000 each, and more if there was trouble in getting them into the country. The cash was sent to India via Canada, Dubai and the United Arab Emirates. The three rings made a total of $220m, the US authorities estimated.
The rings overlapped but also competed, said US judicial officials. They expected further arrests across America, including some of the franchisees of fast-food chains.
The tip that led to the breaking of the smuggling operations occurred when a deal went wrong, the New York Times said yesterday. Five illegal immigrants were arrested in Miami en route to New Jersey, and the smugglers added their $5,000 bail money on to the fee. The angry immigrants then contacted federal authorities.
Many of those smuggled into the US were kept as virtual prisoners, the authorities said.
According to the National Criminal Intelligence Service, thousands of illegal immigrants are smuggled into Britain by organised crime groups, such as the Russian mafia and Chinese triads. It says international, organised criminals are becoming increasingly involved in the smuggling of people, frequently from Turkey, China and the Indian sub-continent.
Illegal immigrants pay up to pounds 10,000 each for special "package deals" that include forged documents and the services of a lawyer to help them stay in this country.
The smuggling networks are being targeted by MI6, MI5 and a new unit of police and immigration officers. The number of people caught illegally entering Britain has risen from 60 in 1991 to 700 in 1997, although only a small fraction of the immigrants are caught.

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One
It began in St. Louis. St. Louis, says the almanac, has 448,649 people; is 61 square miles in area; has the biggest shoe company in the United States; and was named after a French king. But the most important thing for me last spring was that it's almost a thousand miles from the city of New York.
Not that New York City is that important. But it is where I was born, and where I lived with my parents before I lived in St. Louis. I live in St. Louis now. My parents live in New York. Both of them. But not together.
They got divorced. I don't know why. I'm not sure I want to. Besides, that's not what this is all about. The point is, when they got divorced they decided that what I needed was a good, regular home with two grown-ups living regular lives in regular ways, doing regular things. So, when I was about nine, I came to St. Louis to live with my regular Uncle Carl and my regular Aunt Lu. Aunt Lu is my mom's sister.
For the first three years I saw my folks pretty often, maybe four, five times a year. In between, there were letters, phone calls, presents. The next Easter--which was last year--I saw them in New York. I was supposed to go again last summer, but the only time I could have gone was when Uncle Carl could get me into this great scout camp.
I went to camp.
At Thanksgiving, Aunt Lu wasn't feeling too good, so I stayed home to help out while Uncle Carl was at a meeting. And at Christmas Uncle Carl decided we should go to Florida for Aunt Lu's health, which we did.
So, I didn't get to see my parents at Christmas. Also, for Christmas my dad sent me this huge model of a spaceship, andmy mother sent records, records of corny band music. It was the presents that really upset me. I just wasn't into those things at all. I felt as if--since I hadn't seen my folks for so long--they didn't know me anymore.
That was scary.
I began to think that something was wrong. I felt I had to be with them alone, without my aunt or uncle standing by the phone or reading over my letters for spelling mistakes.
Not that I said anything. I was afraid to, afraid to upset things. And my aunt and uncle got upset very easily. They were always nervous about me, about how I felt, worried I might get angry at them. 'Specially my aunt. So I had to protect them, take care of them. Mostly I did it by not saying what was on my mind.
So, I didn't say or do anything about my parents. I did think about them, a lot. And I got more and more worried, 'specially since I was getting fewer and fewer letters and phone calls. I just didn't know what was going on.
Finally, spring vacation was close--and I had always gone East then. I was really looking forward to visiting New York. I just had to see my folks. Then my aunt and uncle announced that instead of going to New York, as soon as school was out I'd be going to England for spring vacation.
"What if I don't want to go?" I said that morning in St. Louis. I said it quietly, almost as if it didn't matter.
"How could you not want to go?" cried Aunt Lu as she swirled the orange juice. "It's the chance of a lifetime, honey."
"I'll more than likely get other chances," I suggested.
"Now, honey," Aunt Lu said with one of her big smiles. "How many boys thirteen years of age have the opportunity to visit a foreign country? I wish I could go see Cousin Philip and the children."
"I never saw them before," I protested.
"They are family, Conrad, not strangers. Besides, you're so easygoing, you get along with everyone. Those're two of your blessings. He'll have a fine time, won't he, dear?" she said, asking help from Uncle Carl.
"It should be fun," he offered. "Meeting part of your family you've never seen. And England's very interesting, Conrad. Marvelous history, great tradition. . ."
I put on my listening look. When he seemed to be done, really done (I was never quite sure), all I said was, "I'd still rather visit my mom and dad."
They looked at me, they looked at each other, but they didn't say anything.
"I haven't seen them for almost a year," I said. "My dad told me that the next time I came he'd take me to the top of the Empire State Building."
Aunt Lu eyed Uncle Carl, which is a way they sometimes talk. He clasped his hands (a bad sign), leaned forward (a worse one), and said, "Aren't you happy here, Conrad?" He even tried to make a joke. "Isn't the Gateway Arch good enough for you?"
Somehow they had gotten it into their heads that if I talked about my parents, that meant I was unhappy. I was sorry I had said anything.
"Is something bothering you here?" Uncle Carl continued. "There's nothing you need, is there?" Where Aunt Lu was always hugging, he was always worried about things. And in his way, he was generous. But what could I tell him--that having the right things didn't necessarily make me feel right? I couldn't. He would have been insulted. So again, I said nothing.
"We're only trying to help you have a good vacation," he said. "A special one. You must know that."
"Sure, I know," I said, and I meant it. But I don't think it came out sounding right.
Aunt Lu snuck up from behind and lassoed me with a hug. "Conrad," she said, "it's just this one short vacation, and a wonderful opportunity.�

Second seed Novak Djokovic set up a mouthwatering quarter-final tie with Australian qualifer Bernard Tomic after breezing past Michael Llodra in straight sets today.
Two days after his wobble against Marcos Baghdatis, Djokovic looked back to his best today, delivering a punishing 6-3 6-3 6-3 victory in a little more than 90 minutes on Court One.
The world number two will have to beat the impressive Tomic, who despatched Robin Soderling and Nikolay Davydenko to make the last eight, to set up a probable semi-final against Roger Federer.
Should he produce the same performance against Tomic as he did today, though, there is little to suggest Djokovic will be defeated by the 18-year-old, who doubles up as his practice partner.
The Serb lost his cool during his thrilling encounter with Baghdatis, smashing his racquet on Centre Court, but today he was calmness personified throughout.
Djokovic took a little more than a minute to win his first game to love, before his opponent gifted him a break straight after, double-faulting at the worst possible time.
The Australian Open champion continued to stamp his authority on the match, moving 4-1 ahead in the first with some powerful groundstrokes.
Djokovic squandered two break points in the following game, but it was not enough to stop him clinching the set with just 28 minutes gone.
It took until the sixth game of the second set for Djokovic to break his opponent again. Llodra was forced to scamper into all corners of the court in a punishing rally before eventually finding the net.
Djokovic held to love to make it 5-3 before the crowd were treated to a thrilling game in the ninth game of the second set.
The world number two won an exciting rally with a backhand that just cleared the net to take the game to deuce before seeing Llodra find the net moments later to give Djokovic the second set.
Raindrops started falling on court at the start of the third set, but play continued and Llodra saved two break points in the first game thanks to a couple of blistering serves which Djokovic could not return.
Llodra matched Djokovic in the third set until the eighth game, when the Frenchman's failure to put away a simple smash gave the favourite two break points.
Llodra rescued the first with an ace but a clever slice at the net moved Djokovic within one game of victory.
Djokovic wasted no time wrapping up the game, holding to love, with the winning shot a well-placed forehand.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - November 28, 1996, New Braunfels, Texas Herald-Zeitung O Thursday, November 28,1996 O 5A Herald Z e i t u n g AttractionsFilm Close-up: Patrick Stewart By Joey Bertin Copley News Service Whether to take the lead role on a major Hollywood television series isn't a difficult choice for most actors. But in 1987 a well-respected member of the British Royal Shakespeare Company considered it a dilemma. Offered the role of Captain Jean-Luc Picard on the "Next Generation'' of the "Star Trek" TV series, Patrick Stewart wrestled with his decision. "There happened to be one extremely distinguished British actor here in Los Angeles that week that I was offered it and I had dinner with him,'* Stewart recalled during a conversation at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills. "I've known him for a good many years and he urged me to turn the offer down, claiming that it would wreck my career." "I think he was wrong," Stewart said humbly. Only the most snobbish theater buff would disagree. In its enormously suc- cessful seven-year run, "Star Trek: The Next Generation" reached heights that the original series - which barely lasted three seasons - only dreamed of. Consistently rated as America's No. I "... I don't quite know where Patrick Stewart ends and Jean-Luc Picard leaves off. " Patrick Stewart of "Star Trek 99 syndicated dramatic TV series, the show propelled the entire cast - and particularly Stewart - to stardom.

Now, with the release of "Star Trek: First Contact," the eighth "Star Trek" film and the first featuring no members of the original cast. Stewart has resumed his position at the helm of the Starship Enterprise. "First Contact" offers the classically trained Stewart the opportunity to flex .VSI, his acting muscles as he faces down his most fearsome enemy: the Borg. This race of "cybernetically enhanced aliens" is out to assimilate all life forms in the galaxy, and only the Enterprise can prevent them from wiping out humanity. Sitting with Stewart, it's easy to see why he was considered Starship captain material. He seems gentle and compassionate, yet completely in control.- His speech is clear and direct, with a crisp British accent delivered in a rumbling baritone. His movements are fluid. His eyes are piercing. And, most famously, he has that shiny bald head. If Stewart were to begin shouting commands, you would follow them. Identifying Stewart this closely with his trademark character may seem unfair, but the press and the public aren't the only ones who do it. After inhabiting the role for the better part of a decade, even the actor himself is guilty. "It's true to say that I don't quite know where Patrick Stewart ends and Jean-Luc Picard leaves off," he confessed. "So much of me went into the creating of the character. There were even aspects of Jean-Luc that, as I increasingly came to admire him, I decided that I wanted to adopt myself." And it gets worse. "There was actually a moment when I was watching 'First Contact' for the first time when I looked up at the screen and thought, 'Hang on a moment, that's me!' It was something that was so personal that we'd put into the movie and I'd forgotten just how it had gotten in there. I heard my voice instead of Jean-Luc Picard's." Still, when 'The Next Generation" TV series ended in 1994 after 178 episodes, Stewart, for one, was not unhappy.

I felt by the fifth season that I had given the series as much as I could give. I was tired, and finding it increasingly hard to find something fresh. I had always thought that that was a responsibility of ours, that we should find always fresh inspiration." But Stewart does miss his fellow actors. After working, gossiping and joking together for seven years, attachments form. So he was happy to do the reunion movie for more than just the money. "Star Trek: First Contact" was directed by Jonathan Frakes, who as Will Riker reports to Picard on the Enterprise, but Stewart has no interest in directing any subsequent "Next Generation" movies. Though he has directed episodes of the TV series and would like to direct features, Stewart says simply, 'This is not the material that I'm interested in as a feature director." At the moment, Stewart is preparing to take to the stage again in "A Christmas Carol," his acclaimed restaging of the Charles Dickens clas sic as a one-man show. Beyond that he would like to do more features. Preferably something contemporary, for a change. "Stephen King's Thinner" A Pallid Horror Comedy By David Elliott and Arthur Saint Copley News Service The 1985 novel by Stephen King (pseudonym: Richard Bachman) is now a weak movie starring Robert John Burke as a very fat, successful lawyer who runs into a gypsy woman and (shaza-am!) begins shedding pounds, even on a 12,000-calorie daily intake.
