Not a Blade of Grass simply a case of Guyanese fervently expressing love for Guyana and things Guyanese
Dear Editor,
My attention has been drawn to a recent Stabroek News guest editorial ("Really Dr. Dabydeen?") expressing some dismay over comments from Dr. David Dabydeen, our Ambassador to China, regarding one of my songs, "Not a Blade of Grass". The background here is that, earlier this month, in the run-up to the Commonwealth Games, the BBC World Service had produced a programme entitled "Com-monwealth Connections" wherein prominent cultural personalities from the Commonwealth had been asked to choose a piece of their country's music which had special meaning for them. Dr. David Dabydeen was featured on the programme featuring Guyana, and he had singled out "Not a Blade of Grass" as a Guyanese song that inspires him, and in an introductory comment he cited it as an example of our tradition of social and topical commentary in music. In a somewhat wider view, however, Dr. Dabydeen said "the song was about the independence of Guyana and a resistance to a particular border dispute we had with Venezuela." The subject of Stabroek News' guest editorial's dismay is that he then contends that Not a Blade of Grass "is really a song sung for Britain because it's about our independence, it's about the centuries of resistance and collisions we had with Britain before we could become independent in 1966." He says, "It's about how, as an independent people, we have to start valuing our landscape, our local habits, our local speech, so that all that shame that we had as a colonised people, as a people who are descendants of slaves and coolie labour, we have to purge ourselves of and really recover our self esteem and self confidence and to create out of that sense of freedom something positive. When this song addresses Britain, at depth, it really is the Empire singing back and saying, look, we are now independent, we will never go back, and we will create new and creative links with Britain…"
I must begin by saying that, putting myself in Dr. Dabydeen's shoes, I can understand the difficulty he must have been facing in this programme in that he clearly had to come up with some platform of familiarity for his Commonwealth audience. It is a dilemma I have faced in front of North American audiences trying to present Tradewinds songs which are sometimes new to them. One often has to find a premise, or parallel, in order to explain a song like Copycats or Boyhood Days to a virgin audience, and it often proves a formidable task.
On the other hand, still in Dr. Dabydeen's shoes, I would then have approached the writer of the song in question seeking the verification or otherwise of the premise I had come up with. Nothing like that came my way. As the owner of the copyright of the song, I was asked by the BBC some months ago for permission to use the music, but no other input was sought from me. Had I been approached, I would have said two things: Dr. Dabydeen is correct that the song was indeed "in the tradition of topical and social commentary in music" (although I would have added that that form is now close to extinct), but I would have been at odds with his contention that Blade was "really a song sung for Britain because it's about our independence, it's about the centuries of resistance and collisions we had with Britain before we could become independent in 1966." This was never even remotely "a song sung for Britain" by any stretch of the imagination. This was not, as Dr. Dabydeen proposed, "an empire singing back, and saying, look, we are now independent, we will never go back, we will never go back, and we will create new and creative links with Britain." While those may be contentions held by others, I was not engrossed with such missions as I wrote the song. It may have been triggered by a border controversy, but Not a Blade of Grass is simply a case of Guyanese people expressing fervently and passionately their love for Guyana and for things Guyanese. It does not mention "border" or "armies" or "violence". The world "Venezuela" is nowhere in the song, nor is the word "collision" or "dispute". Indeed, someone can come to that song for the first time with no knowledge of the Guyana/Venezuela situation and still embrace the song totally, even without being knowledgeable about some of the ethnic terms it contains – jamoon; kreketeh; guinep, etc.
Ultimately, a disagreement on how a particular song is seen is not particularly upsetting to me – interesting or amusing but not upsetting. I have long discovered that (a) the true artist has to find "a way", or a concept, or an approach to present his/her work and that (b) that way can be interpreted differently by different persons for a variety of reasons which one has to assume are well-intentioned albeit misinterpreted. "Not a Blade of Grass" was a 3-minute song, written on an inspiration flash, in the space of a few hours, as a patriotic love-of-country song. It came to popularity that way, and 34 years later Guyanese still sing it fervently with me that way. To interpret it as more than that leaves me to ask, "Are we talking about the same song?"
Yours faithfully,
Dave Martins

Rules for the change of the auditor of financial reports
Appointment and replacement of the Company's auditor is the responsibility of the Company's Board of Directors which receives and acts on recommendations received from the Audit Committee. The Company has an Audit Committee whose responsibilities include among others evaluation of, and recommendations for the replacement of external auditors of the Company, including ensuring the fulfillment of related disclosure requirements.
As a company regulated by Canadian law, the Company is bound by the legal requirements of National Instrument 51-102, Continuous Disclosure Obligations, which regulate among others the rules of disclosure of information on replacement of the auditor by the Company.
Apart from those rules, the Company does not have any other rules for the replacement of its auditor.
It should be noted that it is not the practice in Canada for companies with shares listed on public stock exchanges to change external auditors every five to seven years; auditors of public companies in Canada are required by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountant's independence requirements to rotate the audit partner responsible for each engagement every five years.

Does Temuera Morrison have a Jango suit of his own?
you guys are the best!!! having our hero dressed in the best costume ever made......priceless. I'm gonna have to fly over for the presentation in April and see this amazing costume for myself. great job SpideyFett and to all the others who contributed to such an awesome project.
I am a day late and a dollar short, LOL.
This is so very wonderful. I would love to see this happen as a Make a Wish, or something similar if it ever came up. This is just so AWESOME!
If there is anything else soft needed, do not hesitate to ask. I know there are many more
experienced and skilled people in soft parts here, than I, But I would like to offer.
Well the Shin Tools are now finished and will be on their way to Spidey very soon.
HOLY CR@P!!!!:eek.....
Fantastic work Daz..:thumbup
Out standing paint work and build.. just Beautiful!!!:cheers
I've never talked to Jeremy personally, does he even know the differences between the suits?
I'm not 100% sure, but from what I have seen, ESB-ROTJ is that gauntlets are green and red respective. Furthermore the ESB cloak/cape is a weird light-brown(ish) color while ROTJ cloak/cape is dark green. I think the stries on the helmet is red(ish) in ESB but yellow in ROTJ.
Anyone care to give me the whole story with all the differentials? :p
He specifically asked for the "ESB version"..;)
and Yes, he is monitoring this Thread throughout...he's very excited about the whole project.... I will see if he will join earlier than planned, and maybe get him online for a chat or something...that would be cool.
List me all things that differ please, it's good knowledge to carry with you. Especially on this forum. ;)
Didn't he spend more time in the ROTJ costume though? Being sick, unavailable ect while Empire was filming? I can see why he'd like the ESB better overall due to the more uniform look but I would think he would have had more time to bond with (sweat in LOL) the ROTJ.
Great stuff guys! This thing is going to be awesome.
Great work on those shin tools Daz! :thumbsup
Nice braids too Julie.

Kristen Stewart's Epic Battle in New "Snow White and the Huntsman" Clip
Audiences got a sneak peek into "Snow White and The Huntsman" today as an action packed clip was released with leading characters, played by Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron, facing off in an epic battle.
The preview shows the Evil Queen Ravenna dueling with Snow White to the death and kicked off MTV's First's Q & A with the film's star-loaded cast.
In other news, the "Twilight" hottie spoke at WonderCon expressing her thoughts about playing the strong character along with her awesome fight scenes.
"My favorite thing about [Snow White] is that she's endowed with so much and there's so much inside her," she said. "It's like she's brimming. She doesn't always necessarily know why. I can – in so many different parts of my life – relate to that and love that about her. So it was cool to have that all behind kicking the s*** out of someone," she said.
Enjoy the clip below!

Over thirty years ago, Israel began to construct housing on the West Bank using the argument such housing units were necessary to assist in the defence of the nation. As the years have passed, Israel West Bank settlers have grown from a few hundred to a few thousand and now over 300,000 creating a formidable barrier to establishment of peace with the Palestinian Authority. Egypt's Foreign Ministry blasted the latest Israel plans to construct about 800 new housing units in East Jerusalem as a blow to peace. Each Israel development adds one more issue to the plate of negotiations and increases conflict between both sides as the Israelis attempt to protect settlements and the Palestinians try to destory them.
The Bush administration did issue a statement urging Israel not to build the housing in East Jerusalem, but it is clear the statement was made in order to show the Arab world George Bush has an even handed Middle Eastern policy. In reality, nothing will eve be done to exert pressure on Israel to halt such construction.

I had this posted once before in the Boats section, but i figured i would post it up here as well to help out the many that are interested in building their own blind.
Here is a power point presentation i have been working on for anyone who is interested in building their own boat blind. I have posted a link below where the presentation can be downloaded from mediafire. Below are also some pics of the completed blind on the original 1436 jon boat, and retrofitted on my 1752 Phowler. Please feel free to PM or email me any questions you have on the construction. I know the presentation may not be the best, and measurements will vary for each boat. Also open to any feedback or ideas on how to improve the design. Thanks again.

Marsha Naify is the newly elected chair of the board of directors of the Thoroughbred Owners of California following the retirement of Alan Landsburg, the organization announced May 25.
Her election, which came May 7, marks the first time in TOC's 12-year existence that a woman will head the 15-member board. Naify was first elected to the TOC in July of 2005; she spent her last year on the board serving as vice chair of Southern California. Landsburg retired after three years in the position.
Since leaving United Artists Theatre Circuit, where she worked for more than 15 years, Naify has split her time between her real estate business, her civic and philanthropic work and her Thoroughbred racing and breeding interests. She was a mayoral appointee to the City of Long Beach's human relations commission and served on the city's inaugural hate crimes response team. Currently, Naify, a Long Beach resident, sits on the advisory board for Harbor Area Halfway House, and is involved in supporting St. Jude's Children's Hospital, UNICEF and Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. Born and raised in San Francisco, she is a graduate of the University of Southern California.
"I look forward to using my experience in business as well as my experience with nonprofit organizations to make TOC the best organization possible," said Naify. Since purchasing her first horse seven years ago, Naify has built up her Thoroughbred racing and breeding business, which is headquartered in Del Mar. Previous stakes winners from her stable include Dublino, Blackdoun and Amorama. She currently has stakes winners Surf Cat, Selvatica and Storm Wolf among her horses in training.

FY 2014 Omnibus Appropriations Bill Brings New Total to Nearly $80 Million Secured Via Department of Defense Lung Cancer Research Program
WASHINGTON, DC [January 18, 2014]—Today, Lung Cancer Alliance (LCA) proudly announced that an additional $10.5 million for lung cancer research was signed into law by President Barak Obama as part of the FY 2014 Omnibus Appropriations bill. With the approval of this funding, the new total amount of federal research dollars secured to date is nearly $80 million.
In FY 2009, LCA succeeded in establishing this first-ever dedicated Lung Cancer Research Program (LCRP) within the Department of Defense (DOD) Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program (CDMRP). In the first year of the CDMRP's operation, $20 million was allocated by Congress to fund early detection research targeting at risk military. Since then, Lung Cancer Alliance has succeeded in earmarking additional funding including $15 million in FY 2010, $12.8 million in the FY 2011, $10 million in FY 2012, and $10.5 million in FY 2013. Today's announcement of an additional $10.5 million brings the program total to $78.8 million.
"Increasing federal funding for lung cancer research has always been one of our core priorities," said Laurie Fenton Ambrose, President and CEO of Lung Cancer Alliance. "We remain grateful to congressional leaders for their continued backing of this important research funding stream."
Lung Cancer Alliance Chairman of the Board, Admiral T. Joseph Lopez, USN (Ret.) reinforced his strong backing of for CDMRP funding. "We know that our military are at higher risk of being diagnosed and dying of lung cancer than the civilian population," said Admiral Lopez. "We owe these men and women the benefits of research funding."
Admiral Lopez played a key role in securing the original congressional support for the lung cancer program.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among men and women and every ethnic group and takes more lives each year than breast, prostate, colon and pancreatic cancers combined.

The second one worked for me. They all worked for me. I like the gingerbread people. Thanks for the links.06-23-2006, 10:21 AM #9
I made angels one year. They were sort of like the gingerbread people but I used larger pots and I don't remember if I put something around their necks or not.
First I painted the pot with white craft paint and coated with a clear coat. I used a large wooden bead for the head, painted flesh. I took a permanent marker for the closed eyes with lashes look. Doll hair. Pink fingernail polish for cheeks (it's what I had) and a red 0 for her mouth. I glued lace around the bottom rim of the pot for her skirt and used wired lace tied in a bow for her wings and glued them on. A gold pipe cleaner for her halo.
I made two color types one was gold and white in which I painted * down the front of the dress with a gold marker and used gold trimmed lace. The second was a calico and in that case, I didn't paint the pot, but I still clear coated it, I put colored buttons glued to the front of the dress, used raffia for the hair, and calico ribbons for her skirt and wings.
I wish I had a picture to post but I don't have a single angel. We gave them all away for Christmas one year. They were adorable. Maybe this year I will get around to making myself an angel or two they were really fun to make.06-23-2006, 10:26 AM #10
One more thing now that I look at my post. I used gathered lace around the bottom glued to the top of the rim so it would flare out a little.06-23-2006, 11:02 AM #11

Russell Branyan had a career year in 2009, but like so many fantasy owners, major league teams had a hard time believing Branyan could repeat his 31-homer season at age 34.
Perhaps it's the new math or the depressed market for first basemen, but apparently Branyan could only get a one-year, $2 million contract offer from the Cleveland Indians. The Tampa Bay Rays were also interested, but could only give him a chance to split DH duties with Pat Burrell. In Cleveland, Branyan could end up seeing time at either first base or DH.
Matt LaPorta is the Indians' presumed starter at first, but he's coming off surgery to his hip and toe. And Branyan can provide the lefty-swinging side of a 1B platoon. Meanwhile, Travis Hafner has battled shoulder problems for the past two seasons and there's no guarantee he'll be 100% this year. That should mean a decent number of at-bats for Branyan.
However, he provides little more than swing-for-the-fences power. Russell "the Muscle" struck out in 35% of his at-bats last season and had a slightly above-average .307 BABIP. Don't be surprised if that batting average goes from last year's marginally acceptable .251 into the .230 range.
Branyan is way down the list of AL first basemen -- behind the likes of Casey Kotchman and Lyle Overbay -- so don't draft him for anything more than a corner infield or reserve spot on your roster.

A/N: Someone encouraged me, so I'm doing it. If you want to blame someone, blame Ran Hoshino-san for giving my other Harry Potter/Card Captor Sakura fic, Harry Potter and the Magic Book: Release, a good review and saying an extended version would be nice. Enjoy!
Card Captor Harry
by Shadow Crystal Mage
Card 1, The Windy: Harry Potter and the Mysterious Magic Book
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling does. I wish her well and covet her money. Card Captor Sakura belongs to CLAMP, not me. I covet their drawing skills. Both are used here without their owners' permission. I'm not doing this for money, so please don't sue me.
It was a beautiful summer day. At Privet drive, the Dursleys were bidding aunt Marge good bye-
Whoops, wrong view. Let's try this again.
Ah, here we are. It was a beautiful summer day, and Harry James Evans Potter, the-boy-who-lived, friend of House Elves who want to be free, Sorcerer's Stone Protector, Basilisk Slayer, Dark Lord frustrater, Gryffindor Seeker and all around nice guy, was enjoying every minute of it. After rather messily blowing up his aunt, balloon fashion, and a dramatic exit that found him on a purple triple-decker whose driver couldn't drive and led to an encounter with the Minister of Magic, he had found himself with two whole Dursley-free weeks at his disposal. Granted, one-and-a-half of those weeks were gone, but hey, no Dursleys! Who was he to complain?
After bath, breakfast, and looking at the Firebolt at Quality Quidditch Supplies, he set out to do what he had been doing since he had finished his homework: window shopping.
Harry had to leave his moneybag in his room at the Leaky Cauldron. He could exercise restraint for only so long before he went and bought something, and the only way he could prevent that was by making sure he wasn't carrying money with him.
By the time lunch rolled around, he had visited an apothecary, a pet store, Zonko's and a sweet shop, and had nearly had to buy dragon dung, squirted on by a flower, been attacked by a crow, and eaten enough free samples to fill a gift box.
Ah, life was good.
After having lunch at a cafe, he felt ready for another round of window-shopping. Trouble was, since he had been doing this for a week and a half, there were very few stores he hadn't gone to yet.
Deciding to try something new, he went to one of the stores he still hadn't visited.
Now, one might ask why he hadn't been to this store yet. Well, there is a very simple reason.
It was a used-books store. A certified Hermione-zone.
Entering the shop, he found it overflowing with dusty, worn and just plain ancient books.
"Hermione would have a field day here," Harry muttered as he glanced at the shopkeeper, who was asleep on the counter and so still that spiders had woven webs on him. If Harry hadn't checked to find out otherwise, he would have said the man was dead.
He wandered the rows of books, occasionally glancing at their titles. The Wizards Guide to Muggle Behavior. Growing Arms For Fun and Profit. The Complyt Aend Unabrydged Gyde To Pyxys. Spells Any Sorcerer Out To Save The World Should Know: Kill And Overkill.
Harry paused over that one, thinking briefly of getting it, then decided against it. It was probably just a load of crock.
After spending all of twenty minutes in the store, Harry decided not even Hermione would bother with this place. All the books here were so full of junk, it would be hazardous to the environment to use them as fertilizer.
As he was about to leave, he accidentally brushed a book, causing it to fall on the ground. Habits ingrained by years of cleaning up for the Dursleys made him bend down to pick it up.
Harry stared at the book, transfixed. It was a thick, red book with a broken lock, looking a bit like a journal or diary. Harry shuddered at the memory of the last and thankfully only magic diary he had ever encountered.
On its cover were the words 'The Clow'. Below that was the image of a winged creature that looked vaguely like a lion. Harry turned it over. There was nothing on the back, just red leather. Nothing interesting at all. And yet, Harry felt he couldn't put it down. As if in a trance, Harry slowly opened the cover.
"You going to buy that?" a wheezy, slightly nasal voice asked from the counter.
Harry jerked himself away from the book, letting the cover fall. The old shopkeeper was looking at him with bleary eyes, wisps of cobwebs sticking in his hair.
"Ah, sure," Harry said, surprising himself. He reached into his pocket, feeling a few Knuts, a couple of Sickles, and a Galleon- how did that get there? - jingling around. "How much?"
The shopkeeper peered closely at the book he was holding. "Oh, two Knuts, I guess. That old thing can't possibly be worth more."
Harry fished two of the bronze coins from his pocket and walked over to the shopkeeper. "I'll take it," he said, laying out the money in front of him.
The shopkeeper deposited the money in an ancient wooden register that looked old enough to have seen the Industrial Revolution. "Have a nice day," the man said.
Harry was halfway back to the Leaky Cauldron when he realized exactly what he had done. He'd bought a book. And not just any book, but an old, used book, when he had absolutely no idea what was in it, much less why he bought it in the first place.
Harry didn't mind the cost- after all, it was only two Knuts- he was more concerned about the feeling that something had coerced him into buying the book. Could the book possibly be magical?
Then Harry laughed at himself, immediately stifling it so that no one would think he was crazy. He had bought the book in Diagon Alley, where wizards bought and brought their wares, what was basically an, if not the, economic center of the English magical world. Of course the book was magical! Or at least, related to magic in some fashion.
The question Harry shifted to was what kind of magic was in the book. It had barely been three months since a cursed diary that had once belonged to Voldemort had possessed Ginny. Who was to say that there wasn't any kind of similar magic on this book.
Then Harry stopped that line of thought. Stop it, he chided himself. You're reading too much into a situation because of a recent unfortunate incident. It was just an impulse buy. You didn't suspect that Stan had put a spell on you when you agreed to ride on the Knight Bus even when it had nearly run over you.
I mean, come on! he continued to rationalize as he neared the bar-slash-inn. It's not as if every strange book in the world you would normally never buy has been cursed by Lord Voldemort.
At his room in the Cauldron, Harry sat on his bed, staring at the book. Then, shrugging, he opened it.
"What the heck?" he said.
Inside the book, a square space had been cut out. In that space, what looked like a card had been placed. The card was unlike anything Harry had ever seen. Inside an unusual border was a drawing of a woman, although there seemed to be something strange about her. Underneath her picture were the words The Windy.
"The what?" Harry said aloud. Carefully prying out the card, he saw there were more beneath it. He pried out the next two. One showed either a little girl or a short woman holding a mirror, the other a strange rabbit-cat creature that seemed to be running towards him. Beneath were the words The Mirror and The Dash, respectively.
Harry stared at the cards for a long moment. They didn't move. That meant, he concluded, that they weren't magical. Magical illustrations moved.
Although slightly disappointed that what he had bought wasn't magical, at least it couldn't be cursed.
Shaking his head ruefully, he made a note to be more careful with his impulse buys. He looked at the first card he had pried out.
"The Windy," he said aloud. "Hmm…"
And with that, a hurricane began in his room.
Harry had a split second to notice the design that glowed beneath his feet before gale force winds suddenly swirled through the room. Startled, Harry dropped the book. Caught by the wind, the book went flying. Gravity and then wind managed to grab the cards from their recess. For a moment, the cards swirled around the room. Then, suddenly, they became points of light.
Moving at high speeds, Harry saw them pass through the walls of his room as if they weren't there. He felt something tugging the three cards he still held in his hand, and instinctively held them tighter, shielding them from the wind.
In a relatively short amount of time later, the wind died down. Shakily, Harry stood. His room was trashed. It looked like…well, it looked like a tornado hit. Which, technically, it had.
"Whoa!" Harry breathed. Okay, his bad. The cards were magical. Looking around the devastation that was his room, he considered it lucky Hedwig was off having a check-up; otherwise, he was sure she'd have more than a few ruffled feathers to worry about.
Forsythe Penn was walking along Diagon Alley, eager to get home after a fun day of shopping, when he felt a sudden weakness pass over him. Sagging suddenly, and feeling very tired, he concluded that he had had more fun than he thought. Forcing himself to move, he headed to the Leaky Cauldron so he could Floo powder home.
He didn't notice that his shadow was gone.
Harry thanked his lucky stars that his room was pretty threadbare. Not much had to be cleaned up, although what there was of it made the place look like a train wreck. Luckily, Harry was used to cleaning up after Dudley, who was even messier than the pigs he looked like. At his cleanest and most fastidious, Dudley was still ten times messier than the room currently was.
Picking up the book from where it lay on the ground, Harry placed it on the bed next to the three cards he had left. As he stepped back, however, the book began to glow.
Harry stepped back, wondering what new surprise his little impulse buy had in store for him. He really wished he had his two Knuts back.
The book glow, growing brighter and brighter until...
Harry blinked. Somehow, a 'pop' wasn't exactly what he was expecting.
From the 'pop', however, came a curious looking creature. It was the size of a teddy bear, completely the same shade of yellow-orange, and vaguely humanoid in shape. Its head was oversized, with two semi-circular ears, also like a teddy bear. In fact, of it weren't for the fact that it had two miniscule wings on it's back and was floating, Harry would have said it was a teddy bear.
It yawned. Loudly. "Ahh!" it said. "What a nice nap!"
It turned around saw Harry, surprised. "Hey! Who are you?"
Harry swallowed. "I'm Harry Potter. Who are you and what are you doing in my room?"
"Oh," the thing said, spinning around in a strangely pompous manner. "I am Keroberos, the Chooser, Guardian of the Sun and protector of the Clow Cards."
There was a pause as the thing- Keroberos- noticed the wide-open and empty book. "The Clow Cards! Where are they?"
Harry pointed to the cards he had tucked under the book.
Keroberos dived down to the cards and pulled them out from under the book. "One, two, three..." he counted. "Where are the rest? There are supposed to be 52 of them! What happened to the rest?"
Harry shuffled. "Well, you see..." and he told him what had happened to the cards.
"WHAT?" Keroberos yelled. For a little thing, he had a healthy set of lungs. Fortunately, the room was soundproof. "You blew them away? That's horrible!"
"Why?" asked Harry. He didn't see what the fuss was about.
Keroberos looked at him intently, and Harry was somehow reminded of Dumbledore, without the beard, robes and height. "Listen to me. The Clow Cards are dangerous. They were created more than a hundred years by a great wizard named Clow Reed. Fifty-two cards, each with a specific ability, all of incredible power. He created them by combining powerful aspects of Western and Eastern Magic. They were used against the evil wizards of the day, but they were also kept secret, because Clow feared their power would be abused if their existence was commonly known. When he died, he appointed me to watch over the cards and to choose a successor who will take care of them."
Keroberos shuffled his feet in mid-air, and the Dumbledore impression disappeared. "Unfortunately, you somehow released them while I was taking a nap. Now they're loose and it's all your fault!"
Harry was taken aback at the accusation. "My fault?" he repeated. "You're the one who was asleep on the job!"
Keroberos ignored that little truth. "You're the one who released them, you have to help me get them back!"
"Me?'" Harry repeated. He couldn't believe he was having this conversation. Granted, he'd had a lot of weird conversations with a lot of weird people since he became a wizard, but this took the cake.
"Yes, you," Keroberos said. "I'm powerless to catch the cards on my own, so you have to do it for me. If you don't, horrible things could happen because of the cards."
"Like what?" Harry wanted to know.
Keroberos stared at him and the Dumbledore impersonation was back. "They might burn the city. Or sink the country. Or simply erase people from existence. It's hard to say. But I guarantee the lots of people will get hurt. Or even killed. That's what might happen."
Harry's jaw dropped. "We have to tell the Ministry of Magic," he managed to breath. "They can handle this-"
"NO!" Keroberos said, cutting him off. "That's the last thing we want to do! They were a secret even from the Ministry. Clow was afraid of what they would do to his cards if they found out about their existence. He was afraid they would either abuse their power, or destroy them."
Harry was shocked. "That's not how the Ministry does business," he said.
Keroberos raised an eyebrow. "How well do you know the Ministry to be able to make that assessment?"
Harry opened his mouth, then, on second thought, shut it.
"Exactly," Keroberos said. "Look, Harry right? Please Harry, you have to help me gather the cards, and do it in secret. The fate of the whole world may depend on it."
As many of you know, full consideration wasn't really Harry's strong suit. Oh, he could think things through, but he didn't do it in every situation, which is why he'd had his share of detentions at school, and tended to get dropped in the middle of the latest intrigue to grip Hogwarts. Still his heart was always in the right place, even if it gave him slightly off directions.
"All right," he said. "I'll help you."
Constantine Johnson was heading home from his job at an apothecary when he felt he glimpsed a strange shadow out of the corner of his eye. Thinking of Sirius Black, he reacted fast, whirling on the spot and pointing his wand at it-
- and nearly fainting where he stood as a sudden dizziness engulfed him. Holding on to a nearby wall for support, Constantine saw it was just someone in a black hood. Cursing himself for overreacting and muttering that he must be more tired than he thought, he headed for home, ignorant of the fact he no longer had his shadow.
Keroberos, however, suddenly became very much aware of the fact.
Harry was surprised when Keroberos suddenly whirled in mid-air, staring out in the direction of Diagon Alley. The wachamacallim appeared intent, as if listening for something.
"It's begun," Keroberos said, turning back to face Harry. "A Card has awakened. You need to help me catch it now."
"All right," Harry said, surprised his commitment was being called in so soon.
Keroberos stared intently at the book, which began to glow. From the lock came a sphere of light, which flew over to Harry and hovered in front of him. "Take it," Keroberos said.
Taking a deep breath and wondering what the heck he had gotten himself into, Harry wrapped a fist around the sphere of light. There was a final burst of radiance, and then both glows subsided. The lock on the book had been mended, and the book itself looked like new: no more scratches, smudges or discoloration.
Harry opened his hand. Resting on his palm was a small key. Its head reminded him of a red bird's beak with white wings on the side.
"That's the sealing wand," Keroberos explained. "You can use it to capture the Clow Cards."
Harry raised an eyebrow. "Doesn't look like a wand."
"We'll take care of that later," Keroberos said, flying to the door, then stopping. "Wait! You need to hide me! I mean, if I'm seen, the secret's out!"
Harry rolled his eyes, grabbed Keroberos and stuffed him under his jacket. "Stay under there," he said, opening the door.
"Wait!" Keroberos said. "Bring the Cards."
Harry rolled his eyes, turned, grabbed the cards from of the bed and stuffed them into his jacket with Keroberos. Thankfully, the jacket used to be Dudley's so there was a lot of room. Better still, since Dudley always had to have the best, this was one of those with lots of pockets, both internal and external.
Now equipped with Keroberos, the Key, the Cards and his wand, Harry left his room.
Harry walked down Diagon Alley, following whispered directions from Keroberos.
"What are we looking for, anyway?" he asked.
Keroberos peered out of Harry's jacket. "That," he said, pointing.
A man was walking slowly, obviously tired, eyes slightly glazed.
"What about him?" Harry whispered back.
"Look at his feet," Keroberos clarified.
Harry looked. It took him a while, but he got it.
"What happened to his shadow?" Harry gasped.
Keroberos' eyes narrowed. "The Shadow Card," he said. "It stole their shadows."
"'Their'?" Harry repeated. He looked around, noticing that the man wasn't the only one without a shadow. "Why do they look so weak?"
"When the Shadow Card stole their shadows, it also took part of their life force. In wizards, it takes away a lot of their magic," Keroberos explained. "They'll be like this unless we can capture The Shadow Card. There!"
Harry followed where he was pointing. What looked like a black-cloaked man with his hood up was just turning the corner. Picking up his pace, he followed the man around the corner.
Rounding the bend, he saw the street was empty, the man alone. As he debated what to do, Keroberos took the decision out of his hands.
Flying out of Harry's jacket, he yelled, "Hold it right there, Shadow Card!"
The man paused, then slowly turned around. Harry gasped.
The front of the cloak was open, and where he expected someone to be, there was nothing but darkness, the inky blackness of a perfect night without stars. Somehow, he felt something staring at him wordlessly from the darkness.
"Keroberos," Harry said softly, not breaking the feeling of eye contact. "What am I supposed to do?"
"You have to catch him," Keroberos said. "Use the Key and the Cards you have. When you catch him, you take him out of commission, and you prove that you are his master."
Harry did a double take. "What?" he said. "What was that about a master?"
"Remember what I said about choosing a successor?" Keroberos said. "Well, I choose you. I can feel your strength. You have it in you to become the Master of the Cards."
"Excuse me?" Harry said.
"Harry- um, what was your last name again?" Keroberos asked.
The Guardian nodded. "Right. Harry Potter, I choose you as the Card Captor, he who will inherit the Clow Cards of Clow Reed. And your first order of business," he pointed, "is to catch that Shadow Card!"
The Shadow Card, hearing this, attacked.
Harry had a split second of warning before the shadows came charging after him. His reflexes, homed by years of running from Dudley when he wanted to use him as a punching bag, and more recently by bludgers, Basilisks and Dark Wizards' curses, allowed him to run away from all the shadows that came after him.
Grabbing Keroberos, he turned around and ran.
"Hey!" the Sun Guardian said. "Where are you going?"
"Away from that," Harry thumbed over his shoulder.
"You have to stand up and fight!" Keroberos said, struggling in his grip.
"With what? I'm not allowed to use magic outside of school. I would be expelled!"
"Use the Sealing Wand!"
"The what?"
"The Sealing Wand," Keroberos repeated. "Clow designed it so that it wouldn't be detectable by the Ministry's methods, and it can act as a regular wand."
Harry pulled the Key out of his pocket. "This little thing? You've gotta be kidding me! It doesn't even look like a wand!"
"You have to say the incantation," Keroberos said, finally getting loose and flying close to his ear.
"Now you tell me!"
"This is what you say…"
Harry looked over his shoulder. The shadows had fallen back, still after them, but not gaining. It was like the Shadow Card wanted him to escape.
Sighing to himself and wondering if he was crazy, Harry stopped and turned around to face the approaching shadows.
Raising the Key in his hand, he began to chant.
"Key of power," he intoned, "show me your true form. I, the one to whom you are bound, command it!
As he had begun to speak, a pattern had appeared under Harry's feet. Made of glowing lines of gold, it showed a six-pointed sun within a circle, with a crescent moon on one edge. Now as he finished, the Key glowed, and wisps of wind seemed to surround it. The Key lengthened, becoming what Harry felt could properly be called a wand.
Catching it as it floated in front of him, he twirled it around a couple of times, getting the feel of it.
"Use the Windy Card! Bind them in air!" Keroberos said.
Harry pulled out the cards from his jacket. "How do I do that?"
"Toss the card in the air and slam the Wand on it while invoking the name of the card!"
Harry felt his eyebrow go up. Throwing the proper card into the air, he did as he was told, shouting, "Windy Card!" in the way he usually cast his spells.
The Wand struck the card and stopped dead as if it had hit stone. The card glowed, and greenish-yellow wisps spiraled up from it, forming into the beautiful woman whose image had been on the card as the card itself disappeared.
"Bind them!" he directed, even as he marveled at this beautiful woman who had come out of nowhere-
-no, that wasn't true. She hadn't come out from nowhere. She had come out of the card.
No, that wasn't right.
She was the card!
The woman- the Windy Card- raised her hands, and the same yellow wisps of wind appeared. Quickly, they wrapped around the magical shadows, trapping them.
The Shadow Card, seeing this, started to retreat.
"He's getting away, Harry," Keroberos said. "Use The Dash Card and go after him."
Harry pulled out the card. "Dash Card!"
Harry felt a rush of power seem to flow through him. He felt light as a feather. He began to run after the retreating Shadow Card.
Suddenly, he seemed to feel a jolt inside him. Even as he watched, the Windy Card disappeared, becoming once more a card that appeared in front of him. Instinctively, he grabbed it.
Unfortunately, that meant the bindings had gone. That shadows were free again.
He ran past and around the shadows, using his unbelievable new speed to avoid them as he ran towards the Shadow Card. Above him, away from the shadows reach, Keroberos followed.
"So how do I capture him?" Harry called out as he avoided the shadows clutches.
"Just do as I say…" Keroberos said.
"Hold it right there!" Harry called out.
The Shadow Card, despite itself, turned around.
"I am the Card Captor, and I order you to return to your true form!" Harry said, raising the Sealing Wand over his head and bringing it down. "Shadow Card!"
The pattern of lines of gold appeared once more beneath Harry's feet as his wand stopped once more and an outline of a card appeared under its head. The Shadow Card began to dissolve into black wisps of magic, and was drawn into the card outline. As more of the Shadow Card was drawn in, the card became more substantial. Eventually, it solidified, and became a card like the other three that were already in Harry's possession. In front was the image of the black hooded man, with the words 'The Shadow' beneath it.
Harry seemed to sag, sighing. "Well, that was slightly embarrassing," he said as he caught the Shadow Card. He was suddenly tackled by an ecstatic Sun Guardian.
"You did it Harry! You caught the Shadow Card!" Keroberos said.
"Will all those people be alright?" Harry asked.
Keroberos nodded. "Their shadows came back when you caught the Shadow Card. Speaking of which, we better go while there's still nobody around."
Harry agreed.
As they left, neither noticed the silver flash that leaned back around a corner and was gone.
Harry walked back to the Leaky Cauldron, Keroberos once more hidden in his jacket along with the cards.
"You did a good job," said Keroberos.
"Thanks," Harry said. "I've had a lot of experience."
Keroberos raised an eyebrow. "I'll take you word for it."
"You don't believe me?"
"Not really. I don't know you yet."
Harry shrugged. "Fair enough."
"You have to keep things secret," Keroberos said to him. "About me, about the Cards, everything. If the Ministry gets a hold of us… well, we don't know the Ministry well enough to know what they'll do, so better safe than sorry."
"Well, if we're going to keep secrets, we're going to have to be formally introduced," Harry said. "Hi, I'm Harry Potter, wizard-in-schooling and Card Captor. Pleasure to meet you."
"And I'm Keroberos, Sun Guardian and Chooser," Keroberos said. "But you can call me Kero. Pleasure's all mine."
Harry chuckled. "I think we're going to get along just fine…"
- To be continued...
A/N: For those who read 'Release!', there are changes. This is set earlier in the book timeline. In case it's not obvious, this happens in 'Azkaban', third book canon, with maybe a few tweaks, on Harry's second week away from the Dursley's. I'll try to build around canon events, but I have my limits. Any chance to do any Dorco bashing, hooking up Harry, or make things a bit more cheery... well, no promises to stick to canon. My muse already has scenarios that go way into the fourth book, and I want to culminate this as much as possible on canon terms, so this probably won't be done 'til seven is out. sigh So I really hope that Mrs. Rowling gets done seven faster than it took her to finish five, which was the most delayed. In the mean time, three to five, and six when I finally read it, are good to go.
Yes, Lina Inverse's book from my Slayers/Harry Potter fic makes an appearance.
If you're wondering how Keroberos knows about the Ministry, it has been around for a really long time. It was probably around when Keroberos was last out.
Not to sure about what happens your shadow gets stolen by a Clow Card, so I threw in a couple of usual symptoms.
Sorry if Harry's lines are a bit off, I was working from a subtitled episode of CCS.
Mini Spoilers:
I'll also try to work in the events I alluded to in 'Release!', but the first years drowning in flower petals and the theatre club's blackout are lost causes; I already have plans for those cards.
There might be pairings, we'll see. If I do have them, I won't go easy on Harry.
(Poor Harry snicker)
To Ran Hoshino-san: Harry will have an opponent, but it won't be Sakura and Syaoran's kid. I won't say more, only that his opponent won't appear for a while, probably Card six. (uh, is Syaoran's last name spelled 'Lee' or 'Li'?)
Final note, I have something way weird planned for Yue! I won't say anything more, but I hope you like it.
Please review, C&C welcome. Heck, even flames are welcome. That means at least it's being read, if not liked.
Until next time, this is Shadow, signing off.

Poster: Guidelines for Photocopying Books in the Harvard Collections
This is a white poster with black and red text and a red border, 7" wide by 17" high. A text transcript follows. All bold text is also red on the poster.
[In larger, red text] Guidelines for Photocopying Books in the Harvard Collections.
Please photocopy books with care.
A right-angle photocopy machine is designed for safe copying of bound volumes. Use the left edge of the platen to support the spine of the volume and copy one page at a time, especially if the book is fragile or doesn't open easily.
[Here there is a drawing showing white hands holding a light gray book open on a right-angle photocopy machine, with the spine supported on the left edge of the platen.]
When you must use a photocopier with a flat platen and are copying two pages at once, avoid pressing down hard on the spine of the volume with your hands or the copier lid.
If you are not sure a book can be copied safely, please ask library staff for assistance.
[Harvard University Library logo: three open books each printed with a syllable of "VE" "RI" "TAS" arranged atop a pattern of leaves.]
[At the bottom in black bold text on a gray background] Thank you for helping to preserve the Library's collections.
Table Tent: Make Your Mark/Eating and Drinking
This is a 4" wide by 6" table tent with a different preservation-themed message on each side. Each side is pictured above.
Above, left: blue with black text. "Make your mark in the classroom, not in Harvard's books." The words "not in" appear to be highlighted in pale yellow. In smaller underlined text at the bottom: "Make a lasting contribution to Harvard. Help preserve the library's books." Even smaller, below that: "Harvard University Library. Harvard College Library."
Above, right: green with pale yellow text. "Eating and drinking can ruin a good book." This is printed over an image in light brown of a blurred circle and splash marks as if from a coffee spill. In smaller, black, underlined text at the bottom: "Make a lasting contribution to Harvard. Help preserve the library's books." Even smaller, below that: "Harvard University Library. Harvard College Library."
Table Tent: Guidelines for Handling Manuscript Materials in the Harvard Collections
This is a table tent with red and black text on a white background, 3.5" high by 14" long. The title, in larger red text at the top, reads "Guidelines for Handling Manuscript Materials in the Harvard Collections." Below that, arranged from left to right, are the following eight guidelines. Bold text is also in red on the table tent.
Most manuscript materials are unique, and many are fragile. Handle them as little and as gently as possible. Do not rest your hand, arm, or any object on a manuscript.
Do not add or erase marks from manuscripts. Use only pencil when taking hand-written notes, and make certain that notepaper is not resting on a manuscript as you write.
Place the leaves of unbound manuscripts flat on the table for reading. If papers must be held flat, use only the special weights provided at the reading room desk.
Keep bound manuscripts in the cradles provided. The cradle should sit squarely on the table at all times. If pages must be held open, use only the special weights provided at the reading room desk.
Use only clean, acid-free strips of paper as markers. These are available from the reference attendant.
Never remove manuscripts from folders. See the reference attendant for assistance with requests for copies.
Maintain the order of the manuscripts in each folder and the folders in each box. When finished with a folder, neatly arrange the contents to prevent creasing or tearing. If you discover damaged manuscripts or folders our of sequence, please notify the reference attendant.
When leaving for a short time, close the folder or volume in your care. When leaving for a more extended period or for the day, let the reference attendant know whether you are finished with the materials that you have been consulting or would like to have them held for you.
At the bottom, in black text on a gray background, it says "Researchers who mishandle manuscripts may be denied access to the collections. Thank you for helping to preserve them for long-term use."

Bill Radke: Congress is stepping up pressure on Iran to end its nuclear weapons program. Yesterday, the House passed a bill strengthening sanctions against the country. Marketplace's Brett Neely reports Congress is going after what may be Iran's Achilles Heel.
Brett Neely: Iran has huge oil reserves, but it has to import about 40 percent of its gasoline because it doesn't have enough refineries.
California Democrat Howard Berman is the bill's sponsor:
Howard Berman: It would sanction foreign companies that sell refined petroleum to Iran, or help Iran with its own domestic refining capacity by depriving those companies of access to the United States market.
After massive protests earlier this year, sanctions expert Gary Hufbauer says Iran's government is vulnerable to economic pressure. But he says smugglers will find a way to keep Iran supplied with gasoline.
Gary Hufbauer: Short of blockading the Persian Gulf, the Straits of Hormuz, it will come through.
The Carnegie Endowment's Karim Sajadpour says dissidents in Iran are worried about the possible new sanctions.
Karim Sajadpour: People believe that sanctions on gasoline are going to hit the average person and may actually pour cold water on the momentum of the opposition.
The Senate will likely take up the bill early next year.
In Washington, I'm Brett Neely for Marketplace.

Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley has signed an executive order to study septic system use in the state and find out how much pollution the on-site wastewater systems contribute to the Chesapeake Bay and its rivers.
The executive order forms a task force that includes representatives from science, business, government, agriculture and environmental advocacy communities.
The task force will review, study and make recommendations on a variety of septic and growth-related issues, including:
Approximately 411,000 Maryland households are currently on septic systems. During the next 25 years, new developments using septic systems are expected to account for 26 percent of growth in Maryland, but 76 percent of new nitrogen pollution. Maryland must reduce nitrogen pollution by 21 percent by 2020 to comply with the EPA's Bay pollution diet."
"There's greater recognition now for the societal costs of sprawl development on septic," said Governor O'Malley. "Continuing down the same path will undercut the progress we've made on restoring the health of the Chesapeake Bay and will overburden our farmers and other industries that are making changes to limit pollution in our waterways."
The task force will report its findings by December 1.
For more information about septic systems and pollution, view this presentation given by Gov. O'Malley to the Maryland General Assembly in March.

The rumors are officially true "Entourage" fans! The show's upcoming movie adaptation is happening!
On Monday (October 28), cast member Jerry Ferrera stopped by "The Wendy Williams Show" to confirm that a film was definitely in the works.
They may be sporting quite a bit of gray hair, but the guys from "Last Vegas" can still let loose as shown in the new trailer released on Thursday (July 18).
In the geriatric comedy, three sixty-something friends take a break from their day-to-day lives to throw a bachelor party in Las Vegas for their last remaining single pal.
Fans of the HBO hit "Entourage" now have even more to look forward to, as a big screen deal for the show was green lighted by Warner Bros. on Wednesday (January 30).
The series ended its television run in 2011 after seven years, and major changes are ahead for the characters.
With a full slate of parties taking place across the States, the stars of Hollywood got all dressed up while joining in on the annual Halloween holiday celebrations this weekend.
Her party always seems to draw out one of the stronger fields each year, and this time around was no different as the stars turned up in the droves for Kate Hudson's Halloween bash on Saturday night (October 29).
Bringing an end to their hit HBO series, the stars of "Entourage" joined up for the Season 8 premiere in New York City on Tuesday night (July 19).
Stepping out for a promotional appearance, the stars of "Entourage" were in the house at the "Today" show this morning (July 19).

My car has an engine light on and I ran a scanner on it. It told me I had a Small Evap Leak. I've looked at some sites online and they all say that the gas cap is the cause. My gas cap clicks and seals the way its supposed to. I don't have a smoke machine to test it through the Purge Solenoid. Any thoughts on what it might be or how to go about checking it?
I can't think of an easy way for you to check it reliably so go ahead and replace the purge valve. It's easy and cheap and it's super common failure. Large leaks are usually a bad gas cap and sometimes a faulty leak pump. Small leaks are usually mouse bites and purge valves.

I was going to replace the gas cap and try that because my gas cap light has been coming on and off at times as well so was thinking it was most likely that but if that don't work just wondering how to replace the purge valve

PRINCETON, N.J. -- With less than a month before the Ivy League Round-Robins commence in Providence, two men's fencing teams and three women's fencing teams still hold perfect records this season.
Brown, which will host the Round-Robins on February 8-9, sees both its men's and women's squads holding unblemished records. Princeton, the defending national champs, has an unbeaten women's squad, while Columbia's men have won 13 straight and Harvard's women are also undefeated so far.
Most teams return to action January 25 with many of their athletes competing at the North American Cup in Virginia Beach, Va. this coming weekend. Here is a quick glance at each of the schools thus far:
The Brown men's squad is 7-0, while the women are 8-0 so far this season. Both squads went 3-0 in their last outing at the Brandeis Invitational back on December 9. Kathryn Hawrot led the women's foil squad by going 8-1, while Caitlyn Taylor also notched an impressive 8-1 mark for women's saber. Women's saber had a successful day overall, with Christine Whalen posting a 7-2 record and Lauren Altman going 6-3. On the men's team, Simon Jones led the epeeists with a 7-1 record. Barrett Weiss and Kyle Kennedy both notched 7-2 marks for the men's foil, while Alex Palabrica went 8-1 and Nick Deak went 7-2 for the men's saber.
Upcoming Tournaments: Jan. 25 at NFC #2, Feb. 1 at Eric Sollee Invitational, Feb. 8-9 hosting Ivy League Round-Robins
Columbia's men's program is now 13-0 after an impressive showing at Penn State last weekend, while the women are 9-3. The men's outing included a 15-12 win over Penn State, which finished third at the NCAA Championship last season. The men's team was paced by its sabre squad, which won 37 of 45 bouts, and men's epee, with 33 wins in 45 bouts. Chris Ahn won all nine of his bouts to lead sabre, followed by Melvin Rodriguez, 8-1, and Rienzi Gokea, 7-2. Andrei Tapai matched Ahn's 9-0 record with one of his own in epee, as three sophomores posted 7-2 records in the weapon -- Brian Ro, Jake Hoyle, and Angad Singh. The women's squad went 3-2 at Penn State, logging wins over Haverford, North Carolina and Duke. With NCAA finalist Jackie Dubrovich, Olympian Nzingha Prescod, and international standout Margaret Lu in fine form, the foilists won 42 of 45 bouts.
Upcoming Tournaments: Jan. 25 at NYU Invitational, Jan. 26 at St. John's Invitational, Feb. 5 hosting Historical Meet, Feb. 8-9 at Ivy League Round-Robins.
The Cornell women's squad has an 11-2 mark thus far this season. The Big Red have been off since a 4-1 showing at the Brandeis Invitational in early December. The lone setback of the day was a slim 14-13 loss to St. John's. The Big Red foil squad went undefeated on the day, posting a 38-7 record overall, including a 9-0 performance against MIT, to go along with 8-1 efforts vs. Boston College and John's Hopkins, as well as a 7-2 mark against national powerhouse, St. John's. Christine McIntosh was perfect on the day, going 14-0 in her bouts. Angelica Gangemi finished at 13-2 overall, while April Whitney posted a record of 9-3.
Upcoming Tournaments: Jan. 26 at Philadelphia Invitational, Feb. 8-9 at Ivy League Round-Robins.
The Crimson men are 4-1, while the women are 6-0. Both teams last competed at The Tradition Tournament back on December 8, the Harvard women winning all five match-ups to move to 6-0 for the first time in three years. That included a 16-11 win over Penn State. The top performer for the Crimson was sabre Aliya Itzkowitz, who dropped a single bout to post a 14-1 record. Adrienne Jarocki followed with a mark of 13-2 while Kara Lee finished the day at 11-4. In the foil, Hali Nelson and Alexandra Kiefer went 13-2, respectively. Liana Yamin rounded out the foilist with a 10-5 mark. Epeeist Isabel DiTella went 12-3 while Nina van Loon compiled a 12-2 record. The Crimson men went 4-1, falling only to Penn State, 15-12. The sabre squad paced the men's performance as Eric Arzoian, Duncan O'Brien and Alexander Ryjik each finished the tournament with 12-3 record. Brian Kaneshige and Jerry Chang posted 10-5 marks, respectively, in the foil.
Upcoming Tournaments: Jan. 26 at St. John's Invitational, Feb. 8-9 at Ivy League Round-Robins.
The Penn men are 4-3 while the women are 5-2 after their weekend performance at Penn State last week. At Penn State, the Quaker men shutout Drew and recorded solid wins over Duke and Haverford, while falling to North Carolina and Penn State. The women were a perfect 5-0 win wins over Duke, North Carolina, Penn State, Temple and Haverford.
Upcoming Tournaments: Jan. 25 hosting Philadelphia Invitational, Feb. 1 at Northwestern Invitational, Feb. 8-9 at Ivy League Round-Robins.
The defending national champions are 8-0 on the women's side and 6-2 on the men's side thus far. The Tigers' last outing came at Sacred Heart on December 8 with the women going 4-0, including an impressive 19-8 win over Penn State. Gracie Stone, last year's Ivy League Most Outstanding Rookie at the Round-Robins, went 12-0 on the day. The Princeton women ran their dual match winning streak to 26 straight on the day. The men were led by Alex House's 8-0 mark in epee.
Upcoming Tournaments: Feb. 1 at Northwestern Duals, Feb. 8-9 at Ivy League Round-Robins.
The Bulldogs opened the season December 8 at Brandeis with the men's squad going 4-1 on the day and the women recording a 2-3 mark. The tournament marked the first collegiate appearances for freshmen Ian Richards, Reed Srere and Jacob Stein. Richards and Srere, fencing with the saber, delivered impressive performances. Srere swept his matches against MIT, while Richards did the same against Boston College. Stein, a member of the foil squad, also did not lose any of his three bouts against Boston College.
Upcoming Tournaments: Jan. 18 hosting Sacred Heart, Jan. 26 at NYU Invitational, Feb. 1 hosting Drew and Vassar, Feb. 8-9 at Ivy League Round-Robins.

help me decide on a board for next season
I am a intermediate rider. live in east coast so poconos mainly and maybe a trip to vt/NH
Mainly groomers, with a speckling of small pow and lots of ice.
So far no park with exceptions of riding on side to gopro my son.
I currently ride an arbor formula 161 and and am ready for another board
my stats:
5'10 hover between 210 and 220 during season size 10-10.5 boots depending on brand
Looking at 4 boards
arbor coda (161)
arbor element
Marhar throwback (161)
Marhar bohemian (161)
I was leaning towards the arbors, because of my experience with my formula. But I have been reading alot about marhar, and for better pricepoint than the arbors, I am really interested.
Can anyone with experience with the 2 brands help me decide?

Texan Won't Face Charges After Shooting 'Aggressive Peacock'
A suburban Houston man will not face charges after he shot and killed when officials call an 'aggressive peacock,' 1200 WOAI news reports.
Deputies were called to a home in Cypress, northwest of Houston, after getting a report that a peacock had 'fanned its colorful feathers' and using its talons to attack the legs of a woman.
The deputy attempted to stop the peacock with a Taser, but the bird was 'seemingly unfazed' by two Taser shocks.
The owner of the peacock said the bird has previously attacked another woman.
In the presence of the deputy, the owner shot and killed the peacock with a shotgun.

Transmission identification help
I am buying a 1956 210 sedan and its all apart (was put in a barn in 1986). The engine that comes with it is a 350, has had a 12 bolt rear put in it, the trany has me boggled. I am sure I don't have the right set of numbers wrote down but this is what is stamped on the side....
Can anyone help me with these please?
Your numbers do not make any sense. Are you sure you copied them correctly?
I may not have, I have tried to do research on them myself and have come up empty handed. It is a manual, and looks very simular to a muncie 21. I'll pull it out in the sunlight and look again, post a picture even. thanks so far.
