Preparing to Meet the Lady (Part 1)
Sarah had either been making too much noise as she bathed, or her head had been underwater, she wasn't sure which. But one moment the chair was just a plain chair, and then the next there was clothing draped over it. Standing, Sarah rinsed herself with water from the cauldron and then proceeded to towel herself dry.
She had no idea where Lynn had pulled the clothing from. It didn't look like anything she'd been considering. Maybe, Sarah thought, I didn't delve deep enough into the trunk. Or, she amended; there was another one someplace else. Sarah sighed only to be startled by a loud knock at the back door.
"Sarah?" The door creaked open. "Is everything all right in here?" It was Martha.
"Yes, well no," Sarah changed her mind. "I could use some help dressing."
"Dressing?" Martha sounded puzzled as she entered the parlor.
"Yes," Sarah poked her head out from the curtains. "I'm supposed to meet Jason's mother this afternoon and…"
"Who?" Martha asked, stepping inside the curtained area.
"Jason, I mean Phoenix's mother." What had Lynn called her, Sarah wracked her brains. "Lady Abigail!"
"I see," Martha stated. "Well you found the right dress for it I suppose."
Martha began to help Sarah with the corset and gown. There was no way Sarah could have done it herself. Not with the lacing in the back.
"That Weather Mage friend of Griffon's didn't cause you any trouble, did he?" Martha asked as she pulled the gown lacing tight. "Sometimes he just barges into the house like it's his."
"No, not at all," Sarah replied her brow furrowing briefly in thought.
Either Martha didn't know Lynn was Rosaline or she was trying to hide that fact from Sarah. Whichever it was Sarah was sure Lynn was now gone. She'd thought she heard her leave and it bummed her a bit. Lynn seemed like someone Sarah could become fast friends with. Not to mention the fun they could have looking as alike as they did.
"Sarah?" Martha was studying her.
"Sorry," Sarah shook her thoughts out. "Just a bit nervous I guess."
"Just do a slow spin and I'll make sure you look all right." Martha stepped back and Sarah obliged. Aren't all mothers the same everywhere, Sarah thought, reminded of Prom night. "Now you go sit at the table while I take care of this mess. Can't having you spoil your looks before you meet Lady Abigail."
Sarah obediently went to sit at the kitchen table while Martha went out to call for her boys. Ryan appeared in the hall, nearly startling Sarah right after his mother went out back.
"You look pretty." His little eyes took in Sarah and the gown.
"Thank you," Sarah pondered the boy.
"Much better than those pants you showed up in." He nodded and climbed up to have a seat at the table.
Martha came back in with Ralph before Sarah could respond. Glancing at Ryan Martha gave him a passing stern look. His only response was to smile. Martha sighed as she and Ralph went up front to take care of the bath and curtains.
"Is Phoenix going to marry you?" he asked in a confidential whisper.
"I hope so." Even with his confessions during the night, Sarah was uncertain of what was going to happen. Suddenly courtship back home seemed much less convoluted than what she was going through right now.
"Do you love him?" Ryan's whisper broke her thoughts.
Sarah looked into the boy's eyes. It seemed such a simple question. Yet Sarah didn't know how to answer it. She wanted to shout out yes, but on the other hand she knew four year olds weren't the best secret keepers.
"All right," Martha's return relieved Sarah from answering. "Have you ever met a Lady before?"
"No," Sarah replied, truely feeling nervous now. "I'm afraid not."
"Well, back to the parlor, I'll go over some of the things you ought to bear in mind." Martha smiled and patted Sarah's arm as she guided her up front. "Don't worry, Lady Abigail is very forgiving. She's a master Madame, though her husband's not a knight; deals with all sorts. Now," Martha motioned for Sarah to sit. "Let's see where to begin."
Sarah perched on the edge of her seat while Martha pondered what she needed to know. Sarah only hoped she could remember it all.

The Guardian Paladin
Zack opened his eyes slowly, and was nearly blinded by a bright light that streamed through an open window where a fresh air channeled into his room.
"Zack, you okay?" a face suddenly popped up over him.
And out of surprise, he yelled before realizing that that person was actually Weston, who leaned backwards in surprise.
"Sorry, I didn't recognize you in the first place," said Zack, relieved.
"Jeez, you scared me, too," said Weston.
Zack scanned his surroundings. "Is this a hospital?"
"Yeah. You were asleep for two days when you suddenly passed out while Mikey was helping you at the Dome arena."
"Two days-?"
"Yeah. The doctor said that you didn't just pass out from the fight and the wound you got there on your arm, but also because of exhaustion. Have you been sleeping well before that?"
Zack thought back to two days before he arrived in Redwall. He'd stayed awake for 48 hours, worrying about his motion sickness problem on the flight all the way to Redwall, even though he didn't think he should have worried too much. But worry about his motion sickness made it hard to sleep.
He reached for his arm, and found it firmly bandaged.
"You were here for a long time?" he asked.
"No, I came in an hour ago. I was planning to go out for lunch with you if you wake up while I'm here."
At the same time, Zack's stomach rumbled.
"Looks like someone also agrees," said Weston.
Zack looked at him indignantly, as Weston gathered some clothes off a chair and tossed it to him.
"What are these?" Zack asked.
"Spare clothes, so you can change into them before we go," said Weston.
"I can just leave the hospital right away?"
"Yeah. The doctor said that you were otherwise just fine. Why'd you pass out, anyway? You really scared everyone."
"Man, sorry about that," Zack sighed. It would be embarrassing if he had to tell Weston about one of his flaws.
"So . . . what link do you have to the the Core Gladiators?" asked Weston, and now, Zack saw that Weston's expression was serious. "Why did you get hurt in a game that's not supposed to hurt you?"
Zack looked at him in surprise. "Do you have to know?"
"I want to know," said Weston with a frown. "Also, especially since Mikey says that you're a Core Gladiator. Although . . . he won't explain it to me."
"Then you don't need to know," said Zack with a grin. "What about lunch?"
"Give me a break," Weston sighed.
Zack smiled slowly. "I don't really want to explain it all to you, but I could tell you what happened," he said, and fingered the bracelet he wore with Galadhar's key hanging on it. "A few years ago, when I was younger, a hero came to my home." Weston frowned, but listened intently. "Even though I was a normal kid, acting like one of the street scum of my city just to protect my neighbors so their own kids my age won't come out, he gave me a weapon, saying that I have to defend myself. That hero . . . saved my life several times in the time he stayed in that old city I grew up in. That weapon was Galadhar. That hero showed me that the world isn't so dark as I used to think it was."
"So that's how you became a Gladiator?" asked Weston.
"That's it."
"It doesn't link you to the Paladin in any way."
"You sure you want to know?" asked Zack. "Only my brother knows it, but knowing him and his friends, I guess the Synchron Organization's higher-ups are familiar with my story. It's the first that an outsider would know."
"I'm a Gladiator, too. Just tell me."
Zack held up his key. "Delta. The Greek letter delta is the Paladin's mark. That hero is now my predecessor. Garrett Heaton, avatar named Pegathor, the previous Guardian Paladin."

Everyone loves to cheer on their favorite sports team and it's even more fun when they have a fierce logo to represent.
In the competitive spirit of the Olympics just around the corner, we've rounded up a few of our favorite sports team logos, both on and off-site. Let the games begin!
Sports logos from professional teams
After starting with a more realistic design, the Philadelphia Eagles later opted for this edgy bald eagle with bold, block letters outlined nicely with their team colors.
Similarly, but with a little more cartoon feel, the Miami Dolphins' logo features an aqua and coral illustration of a dolphin donning a football helmet.
The best part of both logos? Check out the mascots' game faces! Grr.
Left: Philadelphia Eagles logo, 1996-present; Right: Miami Dolphins logo, 1997-present
Soccer teams tend to favor crest-based logos, as demonstrated by FC Barcelona and Los Angeles Galaxy club team logos.
Barca's defining elements have remained consistent in its slew of logos over the years — the St. George cross (upper left) and the flag of Catalon (upper right). The team colors, blue and red, are featured at the bottom making this a distinguishable mark for a dominant sports organization.

The A to Z of Russian Theater
€ 36,49

Mai 2010
BeschreibungDespite constant hindrance from government interference and control, the Russian theater has produced many memorable playwrights, schools of thought, and plays, whose influence can be seen throughout the world. Nikolai Gogol's The Inspector, Maksim Gor'kii's The Lower Depths, and Anton Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard remain staples of repertories in every language. The ideas of Konstantin Stanislavskii, Vsevolod Meierkhol'd, and Mikhail Chekhov continue to inspire actors and directors, and designers still draw on the graphics of the World of Art group and the Constructivists. The A to Z of Russian Theater is the only reference work in English devoted exclusively to Russian theater and drama. It provides information on the popular plays and playwrights while also offering information on many persons, works, and phenomena omitted from standard encyclopedias. Through the use of a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, an appendix, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on directors, stage designers, actors, plays, playwrights, concepts, theater buildings, and troupes, this reference provides an unrivaled account of Russian theater.

Tech Tip: Don't Clean Grout Lines With A Knife Blade
Last year, a customer called WarmlyYours asking why two of their newly installed floors did not heat with our Radiant Floor Heating System. Usually, this is a simple issue caused by the thermostats not being wired correctly when they were installed. With the help of some troubleshooting over the phone, our Techs were able to determine that the wiring was done correctly. However, it's clear that something is awry when two rooms that share a doorway are both not functioning, so more detective work was needed to discover the cause.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I've got socks from years ago which I've been meaning to ditch just because the elastic's gone a bit around the ankle. If they're wearing away after 200 miles they sound a bit, er, pants.
er??? if they have holes ditch them....if you get blisters, ditch them....if they look yellow, ditch them...if they're stiff...ditch them.....
I don't log the mileage of my socks, but would generally expect them to last over 200 miles, especially Thorlo's as they aren't cheap. The only socks I've really had any problems with are 1000mile socks every single pair of which I have had have worn holes in the toes in less than 50 miles. Never again!
I find the running and cycling socks (I use either for either sport) from Lidl to be not only excellent value for money, but actually excellent full stop.
I have a spreadsheet which records the mileage and hours run for each sock. I used to do this for pairs of socks, but then due to mis-washing issues, some socks became detached from their partners and I have recently started to log each socks data seperately. I also record the ave m/m and terrain for each sock. I find that hilly off road runs wear socks more than flat road and track, especailly around the back of the heel and toe box area. However the smell factor is greatest after a hot summer LSR. As smell can be a perceptive measure, I use one of these to achieve an accurate calibration of results.
Well, if your feet smell like fanny there's something fishy (ha) going on!
I wear Injinji's thinnest lightweight toe socks and tend to find I wear them through on the big toes after maybe 150-200 miles, maybe less if I've done a couple of long runs in the wet. But I definitely think having to replace socks so regularly is a small price to pay for no blisters, ever.
P.S And yes, ALDI's running socks last pretty much for ever...
exiled claret - you must be doing something wrong to wear through the 1000mile cushioned socks in 50 miles! maybe you should cut you toenails more often mine have Id say around 600miles on each pair (three pairs) and only last week the oldest pair, which maybe have 750miles on, wore through at the big toenail.
Im looking for good new socks, and ready to try something different, any suggestions?
Don't have a problem with any other sorts of socks. The only ones which either wear out or cause me blisters are 1000mile socks. It doesn't matter what variety of 1000mile socks either - I've had about 5 different pairs over the years, all with exactly the same result - blisters under the arch and holes in the toes.

Page 2 History of Rotary 1905 The world's first service club, the Rotary Club of Chicago, was formed on 23 February 1905 by Paul P. Harris, an attorney who wished to capture in a professional club the same friendly spirit he had felt in the small towns of his youth. The Rotary name derived from the early practice of rotating meetings among members' offices. 19211922 Rotary's popularity spread, and within a decade, clubs were chartered from San Francisco to New York to Winnipeg, Canada. By 1921, Rotary clubs had been formed on six continents. The organization adopted the Rotary International name a year later. As Rotary grew, its mission expanded beyond serving club members' professional and social interests. Rotarians began pooling their resources and contributing their talents to help serve communities in need. The organization's dedication to this ideal is best expressed in its motto: "Service Above Self". 1925 By 1925, Rotary had grown to 200 clubs with more than 20,000 members. The organization's distinguished reputation attracted presidents, prime ministers, and a host of other luminaries to its ranks – among them author Thomas Mann, diplomat Carlos P. Romulo, humanitarian Albert Schweitzer and composer Jean Sibelius. 1934 In 1934, Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor created The Four-Way Test, a code of ethics adopted by Rotary eleven years later. The test which has been translated into more than 100 languages, asks the following questions: Of the things we think, say or do… 1. Is it the TRUTH? 2. Is it FAIR to all concerned? 3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? 4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned? Rotary and World War II 1942 During World War II, many clubs were forced to disband, while others stepped up their service efforts to provide emergency relief to victims of the war. In 1942, looking ahead to the post war era, Rotarians called for a conference to promote international educational and cultural exchanges. This event inspired the founding of UNESCO. Page 3 History of Rotary (continued) 1945 In 1945, forty (49) Rotary club members served in twenty nine (29) delegations to the UN Charter Conference. Rotary still actively participates in UN conferences by sending observers to major meetings and covering the United Nations in its publications. "Few there are who do not recognize the good work which is done by Rotary clubs throughout the free world." former Prime Minister Winston Churchill of Great Britain once declared. Dawn of a New Century As it approached the 21st century, Rotary worked to meet society's changing needs, expanding its service efforts to address such pressing issues as environmental degradation, illiteracy, world hunger and children at risk. 1989 In 1989, the organization voted to admit women in to clubs worldwide and now claims more than 145,000 female members in its ranks. 1990 After the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the dissolution of the Soviet union, Rotary clubs were formed or reestablished throughout Central and Eastern Europe. The first Russian Rotary club was chartered in 1990, and the organization underwent a growth spurt for the next several years. 2000+ More than a century after Paul Harris and his colleagues chartered the club that eventually led to Rotary International, Rotarians continue to take pride in their history. In honor of that first club, Rotarians have preserved its original meeting place, Room 711 in Chicago's Unity Building, by recreating the office as it existed in 1905. For several years, the Paul Harris 711 Club maintained the room as a shrine for visiting Rotarians. In 1989, when the building was scheduled to be demolished, the club carefully dismantled the office and salvaged the interior, including doors and radiators. In 1993, the RI Board of Directors set aside a permanent home for the restored Room 711, on the 16th floor of RI World Headquarters in nearby Evanston. Today, 1.2 million Rotarians belong to over 32,000 Rotary clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas. Page 4 ©Copyright 2008 Rotary International History of Club 21 Rotary Club 21 is the oldest and largest club in District 5080. There is no official record of how bringing Rotary to Spokane was initiated, whether it was by someone getting in touch with the Seattle club, or whether Spokane volunteered. But, whatever the flow, Rotary Club 21 of Spokane was formed. As we look back in time, it was around the middle of February, 1911, when Ernst L. Skeel, a Seattle Rotary club charter member, and the secretary of the Seattle club came to Spokane to discuss the possibilities of starting a club in Spokane with a gathering of people. Of the twenty six (26) people present, not all joined the new club, but the application was made for membership in what was the National Organization of Rotary Clubs of America. On July 24, 1911 the National Organization advised the Board of Directors that Spokane, with its twenty (20) members, became the 21st club in Rotary, making it the third in the State of Washington, behind Seattle and Tacoma. Since its origin Club 21 has sponsored twelve (12) Rotary clubs and one (1) Rotaract club. Walla Walla was the first club sponsored in 1919, followed by Coeur d'Alene, Wallace, Spokane Valley, Pullman, Colfax, Spokane North, Spokane Hillyard, Cheney, Spokane East and Spokane West, with Spokane South being the last club in 1972. In 1995 Club 21 sponsored the local Rotaract club which is made up of young business professionals between the ages of eighteen and thirty. Rotary Club 21's overriding concern since World War II has been children with disabilities. Just after WWII the club was deeply involved in the camping programs of the YWCA and the Boy Scouts. It was also involved in Camp Larsen, a camp for Children with Disabilities run by WSU. Over the years the club has taken on projects both singly and in collaboration with other Rotary clubs of Spokane. They include building a Picnic Shelter at Manito Park, adding Soccer Fields on the South Hill, creating the Rotary Children's Fire Safety House, conducting immunization Saturdays, establishing a dental clinic in Thailand, constructing the Rotary Habitat for Humanity House, and most recently it took the lead in developing plans and raising funds that built the interactive fountain at the entrance to Riverfront Park. Since its twenty member start, Club 21 has grown as large as 400+ active Rotarians and twelve (12) Honorary Rotarians. It is proud to have had nine (9) members serve as District Governor, and one member serve as International Director. Today Club 21 enjoys a membership of two seventy seven (277) active and seventeen (17) Honorary Rotarians. You will find ninety three (98) members of the club have been members for twenty (20) years or more. Of those ninety three (98), twenty four (27) have been members between forty (40) and fifty (50) years, and four (6) have been members over fifty (50) years. The longest perfect attendance the club is aware of is Richard Rubens, with forty six (46) years perfect attendance, tied with H. Jack Reeves, also forty six (46) years. There are one hundred twenty one (121) members who are Paul Harris Fellows, some of them multiple times. Club 21 enjoys a long and rich history of providing service that furthers progress in our community, across the nation and throughout the world.

Page 11 Ways to Give Rotary Community Service, Inc. Your first giving obligation is to Rotary Community Service, Inc. (R.C.S.) Rotary Community Service, Inc., or "RCS," is a non-profit, 501(c)3 entity that is set up to receive annual, tax-deductible donations. Rotary Community Service funds are raised each year from current Rotary Club 21 members to support the ongoing community service work of Rotary Club 21. The money is used to support the work of the following Rotary Club 21 committees: Civic Affairs Disability Services Foster KidFest International Service Veteran Services Vocational Service Youth Service Rotary Club 21 members are asked to make a contribution of $300 or more each fiscal year. This is done through an annual campaign, rather than by "hands-on fundraising efforts" during the year, as is typical in many Rotary Clubs. The Rotary Community Service Campaign is held in the fall and runs through December, or until each member has made a pledge and the annual goal is reached. These gifts can be made as an outright cash gift to Rotary Community Service, Inc. which s a 501(c)3 entity, or members may have the option to make their donation through their company's worksite giving program. Rotary Club 21 depends on Rotary Community Service contributions from members.

Started in 1994 by Jack Reeves, The Spokane Rotary Foundation has grown to 1.2 million dollars Gifts of cash or securities can be made in any amount, at any time. Members can arrange deferred gifts or planned gifts. Simply name The Spokane Rotary Foundation in your will, or as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy. Honor a loved one with a memorial gift. Those who make gifts of $2,500 or more are recognized as a member of the Legacy Club. Rotary Club 21 has been honored to receive support for Rotary Community Service from two interest-earning funds: The Ryder Family Trust The Gaston-Scharf Fund Page 12 More Ways to Give The Rotary Foundation Paul Harris Fellows Contributions of $1,000 to Rotary International (RI) bring Rotary Club 21 members the distinguished honor of being recognized as a Paul Harris Fellow, an award named after the founder of Rotary. Individuals can also donate $1,000 to honor another club member, or a family member. Rotary International (RI) distributes these dollars through a matching grant process to provide funds for Rotary projects that benefit people throughout the world. For example, Rotary International (RI) provided matching funds for two Rotary Club 21 International Service Committee projects: Dental care in rural Thailand Russian Children's Healthcare Donations to Rotary International's (RI's) Permanent Fund are invested and earnings support grants. Donors giving $1,000 to this fund are recognized as Benefactors. Examples of the Impact Rotary Club 21 Has Had: • Riverfront Park Fountain • Commercial grade stove for Crosswalk • Single room air conditioners for people with MS • Medical and dental equipment to hospitals in Khabarovsk • Dentists travelling to Thailand to provide services • Annual $1000 Kati Reeves Performing Arts Memorial Scholarship • Childhood Cancer Foundation • Rotary Children's Fire Safety House • Equipment for Spokane Guild School • Voice activated software for people unable to use a keyboard • Manito Park picnic shelter • Motorized wheelchair for 51 year old head injury victim to replace old wheel chair • Support of Goodwill Children of Promise Program • Training Russian orthopedic surgeons Page 13 How does a person become a new member of Rotary Club 21? Below is a chronological outline of Rotary Club 21's process for bringing a new member into Rotary. A potential new member is proposed by a current member, or by contacting the Executive Director inquiring about membership. This is done by submitting an application which is available through the Rotary office. The application is completed by the potential new member and the person proposing them. Typically, the prospective new member has been a guest for lunch prior to this submittal, or if they are a call-in, they will be invited to lunch and hosted by a member from the Membership Development Committee. The Executive Director or Membership Development Chair does an initial screening to verify basic information as to whether the person will meet the minimum criteria for membership. The Executive Director submits this information to the Classification / Membership Committee. This committee continues the research of the applicant as to whether they meet the criteria for membership. Additionally, they verify that there is an available classification for the applicant. The Classification/Membership Committee meets twice a month to review applications. Usually, two meetings are needed to reach the recommendation that will go to the Board of Directors regarding approval. The Classification Committee's recommendation is provided to the Board of Directors through the Executive Director. If approved by the board, the applicant's name will be published in the weekly e-newsletter; this invokes the 7-Day Rule. Within 7 days of publication, any active member of Club 21, in good standing, can enter an objection to the applicant. This protest must be based on reasons other than competitive business conflicts and such. Page 14 ? Day 1 Day 7 - 28 Day 29 - 35 Continued on next page How does a person become a new member of Rotary Club 21? (continued) ? Once the 7-Day period has expired, the applicant can be formally invited to join Rotary Club 21. This invitation usually takes place in a short meeting involving the member that has proposed the applicant, the prospective new member, and at least one member from the Rotary Information Committee. Since the prospect has been provided with basic information including details about financial obligations, club projects and activities, a list of committees and list of current Officers & Directors at the time they completed the application, they will now be provided a Membership Data Information Form and their Initiation Fee Statement. They will also receive a copy of The Rotarian Magazine and the Executive Director's business card. Upon receipt of the initial payment and membership data form, the Executive Director will provide to the new member additional information and request their picture for the directory. Together they will schedule the formal introduction to the general membership depending on the program schedule and the schedule of the sponsor and the new member. No later than one month of becoming a new member, the Executive Director will set up a meeting with the new member to discuss in depth Rotary and answer any questions the new member may have.

Research objectives research questions What are the differences and similarities in the coverage of mental illness in mainstream press in the US and the UK? Has coverage altered over time and if so, in what ways? Are there things to learn about trends from looking at much older coverage? research objectives To evaluate coverage of mental illness in a range of mainstream newspapers over a significant timeframe in the US and the UK To ascertain if the way coverage is 'advertised' - ie: headlines - differs from from the content of articles To chart trends in coverage over time within each country research objectives To draw comparisons between the two countries To establish if further research is warranted "Specific newspapers, such as the New York Times and Washington Post, have an even greater influence on the national and international news agenda because they serve as sources of news that many other outlets look to in making their own programming and editorial decisions.

Left-wing NBC éminence fou Keith Olbermann is well-known for playing fast and loose with the facts when it comes to politics. Apparently he is ignorant of American geography as well.
On yesterday's "Sunday Night Football," the Ed-Murrow-wannabe, who is fond of pointing out the slightest error on the part of Republicans as proof of their "stupidity," incorrectly told viewers that Colorado's capital, Denver, is west of the Rocky Mountains.
I have to agree with Bryan Preston, this incident is just the latest example of how Olbermann is a pale imitation of Dennis Miller.

Dinner was so delicious - we had rice, gyoza, capsicum meatball curry, fried iberico pork and chocolate cake for dessert. We then watched a funniest home videos type of show and laughed the night away. It was such a lovely evening and a perfect way to spend our last night in ...

It was such a special evening and I will never forget how welcome Sayo and Nori made us feel. Their kids were adorable and were practicing their English saying "thank you". Clearly there will be no pics of karaoke as we have reached an agreement (or are blackmailing each other) not to post them ...

The Tiara 31 is one of those boats whose lingering popularity has made her a classic design in every sense of the word. Aside from the quality Tiara construction and sporty profile, the appeal of the 31 has much to do with the large fishing or entertaining cockpit and comfortable teak trimmed interior.If you are into cruising, fishing and/or day boating the swim platform, and extra cockpit seating will turn the 31 into an extremely capable family cruiser with the guts to handle any seas. Notable features include the wide side decks, bow pulpit, excellent engine access, and wonderful interior and exterior workmanship only found on a Tiara. She has had several onboard items replaced or recently upgraded, Jennifer Lee is ready to go. You do not want to miss this one. Price reduced!

THE dawn of Brunei Darussalam's 31st National Day brought thousands of spectators to Bandar Seri Begawan to take part in another historic occasion.
People from all walks of life showed what it meant to be patriotic as 25,000 marched and performed at Taman Haji Sir Muda Omar 'Ali Saifuddien, the focal point of the celebration.
For two hours, they braved the tropical heat, while His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam stood tall to witness the unity of not just locals but also foreign nationals who participated alongside Bruneians to celebrate over three decades of independence with this year's theme 'Generation with a Vision'.
Yesterday's royal presence included His Royal Highness Prince Haji Al-Muhtadee Billah, the Crown Prince and Senior Minister at the Prime Minister's Office, His Royal Highness Prince Mohamed Bolkiah, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, His Royal Highness Prince Haji Sufri Bolkiah, His Royal Highness Prince Haji Jefri Bolkiah, His Royal Highness Prince 'Abdul Malik, His Royal Highness Prince 'Abdul Wakeel and Her Royal Highness Princess Ameerah Wardatul Bolkiah.
The morning officially began with the arrival of His Majesty whose royal entourage was greeted by hundreds of schoolchildren who lined the streets leading to the field.
They enthusiastically waved miniature national flags accompanied by the sound of 'Hadrah' and the national anthem that echoed across the capital to emphasise the tradition of Brunei's Malay Islamic Monarchy identity.
Following the inspection of a guard of honour, the mass procession kicked off with the giant flag-bearers leading hundreds of contingents representing schools, the government and private sectors, security agencies and non-government organisations.
The field quickly filled with the colours of the country as the participants held their heads high as they marched past the Royal Dais and other guests, including foreign dignitaries.
In a show of discipline, the participants of the National Service Programme (PKBN) demonstrated their strength and grit by performing a drill to the awe of spectators.
A highlight of the celebration saw a group of specially selected men and women standing before His Majesty to lead the reading of the National Day oath, in which they pledged their loyalty and allegiance to the monarch, country and government, which was followed by the resounding "Allahu Akbar" that resonated thrice through the crowd.
And finally, a few hundred students capped the event with a performance aptly dedicated to celebrating a 'Generation with a Vision'.

"My cats love these. They are quick and simple to make. For anyone unfamiliar with the yarn that is suggested for the pattern, it is a fingering weight, 4 ply yarn that is 100 percent cotton. I used worsted weight and a 3.5mm hook for mine, so I wouldnt have to worry about the cats pulling the stuffing out through any holes."

"What does (K1. Inc 1 st in next st.) mean? I think st means stitch, but I don't understand how to do what it says. Thank you "
"This is absolutely stunning! I love it. I love vintage China and this is one way to display it. For my own personal taste I would use less pieces in the back, or even paint the background to make it pop more, and use the broken pieces on,y around the border as a type of frame. But that's just me. Alternatively, using less cups and just feature a ew with the broken pieces may set them off better. But all in all this is a great idea and display! Love it!"

The contract awarded to Election Systems and Software, which provides more than 74,000 voting systems worldwide, had been challenged by several of the seven losing bidders.
At least one complaint said the executive director of the state Election Commission steered the contract to a partner of her former employer.
Marci Andino, head of the South Carolina Election Commission, has denied any conflict of interest.
Mike Spicer, the state's chief procurement officer for computers and other technology, ruled Election Systems and Software failed to respond properly to a requirement in the bid that pricing for each year of a seven-year contract be given.
Spicer said the company had only fixed pricing for two years of the contract.
Andino said Wednesday she was uncertain what steps the commission would take. "After a yearlong procurement process," she said, "we're very disappointed by his decision."
She said the state procurement office had cleared the bid at the time it was accepted and the Election Commission thought the bid was in order.
Spicer's decision can be appealed, but that could delay an award by two months or more, jeopardizing the state's plan to deliver the machines and train poll workers for 11 counties still using punch-card ballots before the November election.
Failure to meet that deadline would cost South Carolina $2 million in federal funds.
"We do not feel there is time to reissue the solicitation" and meet the federal deadline, Andino said.
Election Systems and Software plans to appeal the decision and would participate in a new bidding process, said company spokesman Rob Palmer.
"We are proud of the proposal that we submitted to the state and believe that it offers the best voting solution for the state, counties and voters of South Carolina," Palmer said.
The state has five electronic systems at work, as well as optical scans and punch cards.
Congress provided money to improve the nation's voting system after flaws in punch-card machines led to recounts and challenges of Florida's results in the 2000 presidential election.
The three losing bidders involved in the challenge were Palmetto Unilect, IP Services/Parsons Technology and Diebold Election Systems. A fourth company, Maximus Inc., withdrew its complaint.
In addition to the losing companies, three state senators, including Senate President Pro Tem Glenn McConnell, R-Charleston, were looking into the bid.
Along with worries about a conflict, the senators were concerned about the quality of the company's equipment, the fact that an out-of-state company was given preference over an in-state company and the decision to go with one provider for the entire state.
The senators were in session late Wednesday and unable to leave the chamber to receive messages.

Emblem3's Wesley Stromberg Gives Back Dumbos
Nearly 47,000 homeless people live in Los Angeles, up 11% from this time last year according to a recent study by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority.
"Tomorrow, we are going to meet up with the lead singer of Emblem 3, Wesley Stromberg, and give out hundreds of Dumbo Lounge Sack's to the homeless in Santa Monica. It's going to be a great day and you should come down to the beach to witness it."
The company which launched in April originally created the sacks from Jared and Jack's own experience being lovers of the outdoors. "As adventurers, we could relate to the need for versatile and portable comfort in any scenario. Whether it's adventures to the beach or hiking up mountains, Dumbo's can conveniently come along any trek and provide ultimate comfort within seconds."
"Instead of sleeping on the ground, we want to offer our city's homeless a more comfortable alternative that they can inflate without any equipment and simply deflate, pack, and carry easily with them," added Jared and Jack.
While Dumbo may not decrease the city's homeless population, it is certainly trying to provide comfort and humanity to those in need with nowhere to turn.

I have a very intermittant problem. My bike runs great.. then just quites for no reason. I have no spark or power to the fule pump. Everything else electrical seems to work well... lights, horn etc. I leave it for a few minutes.. starts right uo and runs again...sometimes for the rest of the day... other time quites again a few times. Seems to happen more after is has run for a while and then shut off...but not always. I have chaged out the CDI box, coils, ignition switch, kill switch, new battery...almost everything I can think of.... nothing solves the problem yet. I have not changed the pusle generators... someone said to have both of them quit ( are there really 2 ) at the same time was veery unlikely...
HELP... any ideas??

Re: 1985 GL1200 "quites for no reason"
That is a symptom of the pulse generators.
When they are cool they are fine but when heated they will fail.
Given those symptoms those should have been the first thing to change.
They can also cause mis-firing etc.

Re: 1985 GL1200 "quites for no reason"
I agree with Tricky. This is a fairly common problem. Replacing your pulse generators will probably take care of it.

I have 1986 GL1200 Aspencade with same intermittent problem described on your 85. Have you replaced pulse generators as suggested by 2 others? Has this taken care of your problem? Anything else you've learned about this problem since you originally posted? Thank you, Jon

Skeptical that Joe Flacco can outduel Tom Brady this Sunday? You ain't alone. Ravens safety Ed Reed took a moment on Monday to say what everyone already thinks of Flacco: I think a couple of times he needed to get rid of the ball. It just didn't look like he had a hold on the offense... He can't play like [he did against the Texans]. The thing you have to understand about Joe Flacco is that he brought stability to one of the more unstable positions in all of football. Do you realize that Trent Dilfer, despite winning the Ravens a Super Bowl, only started a grand total of eight regular season games for them? Look at how dire this list is. Before Flacco, the Ravens cycled through fifteen different starting QBs in a span of 12 years. I looked at that list and literally could not remember Randall Cunningham ever playing for this team. The turnover in Baltimore was so fast, you barely had time to notice. Remember Anthony Wright? Of course you don't. So Ravens fans are uncommonl...
