Love the water hate the bottles
By Super Mom
from Hamilton, NJ
Comments about BJs Wholesale Club Poland Spring Natural Spring Water, 40 pk./16.9 oz.:
We love the taste of Poland Springs but the recent package we bought the bottles are terrible! The display was wet, so we chose a package away from the wetness and checked all the bottles. They were full when we left the store but this morning the package had 2 empty bottles sitting on our garage floor in a puddle. The bottle caps were intact but the bottoms were cracked. I guess we will buy a different brand until the bottles are improved.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I was watching Bath Crashers on the DIY network (http://www.diynetwork.com/bath-crashers/show/index.html) and it reminded me of how misleading these design shows are about how long it takes to do a remodel. Matt says "bring your friends and family to start demo tomorrow". The supposed "next day" the weather is completely different. The next day is most likely 3 weeks later. It takes that long to order glass shower doors. They have to measure, order materials and they can't do that in 12 hours overnight. It takes time to build and install too! It doesn't happen in 2 days like they make it seem.
Don't get me wrong a remodel can happen fast depending on the size if all materials are on site and you have a crew that works around the clock (which you have to pay overtime). So, cheap and fast can't happen simultaneously. Typically, if you are willing to wait it will cost less, especially if you do the work yourself. If you want it done fast, then it will cost more, overnighting materials and paying crews overtime. These shows give the public the wrong impression of how long and expensive these remodels can be. Read our other blog on designing on a dime.
Keep in mind, it's more expensive and takes longer than you think. Even I am surprised every now and then! Brandy

This is a lovely hotel with helpful staff. We were greeted by Cody, the owner, upon check-in. He was extremely friendly and offered a lot of helpful advice about the surrounding area. Our room had a beautiful view of both the pacific and the surrounding forest. We saw howler monkeys every morning and afternoon!
Our room was extremely clean and comfortable with a nice outdoor seating area. Breakfast every morning was great too.
The only drawback is that the hotel is a bit of a walk to the beach. If you have a car, this won't be a problem, but the walk in the sun can get rather hot if you do not have a car. Luckily, taxis are fairly inexpensive.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- We have 10 rooms that all have a magnificent view of two different beaches as well as mountain and jungle views. All rooms come with: Queen-size bed, Air conditioning, Wireless Internet, safe, small refrigerator, private balcony with ocean view and hot breakfast included. We are located a short distance from Samara and the beach which allows guests to take short 15 min walk or an inexpensive taxi ride if they so choose. ... more less

Because of Nikon I'm able to appreciate the littlest things, from the sanguine color of the sky at daybreak to the crisp greens of the grasses after the rain. With Nikon, these colors can be captured and relived until forever.
Because of Nikon, I am able to express myself artistically. I like to share my pictures with my friends and family and what they say makes me exited. I could tell on what's happening in my life and what I am by taking pictures on every little things. It makes me feel happy and free. Maybe years from now I will look back at the pictures i take today and i will be very glad that i got the chance to take them and great memories. Life is too short so I don't want to waste every moment of it but instead treasure it. " A picture paints a thousand words" .
Because of NIKON, I am now ready to step into the spotlight and shine.

I really want to capture every moment of my life as much as possible with a small portable camera. It's as simple as that.
Happy Birthday dude and we thank you for your generosity good day

Because of Nikon, I have seen the past. I am seeing the present… and I will also catch a glimpse of what would it be in the future. Everyone has their own "because", everyone has their own reason. I also have mine… I see life and I'm gonna capture it just as I capture it in my heart and mind… and that's because of NIKON.
Because of Nikon, I am somebody… I am Me! No less, no more, just the Real me…

Because of Nikon I can share all the memories I had now with my grandchildren even if I am gone. Wish Facebook was able to come out earlier so that I can also put the memories of school in it but it's too late to complain. Just have to post the present picture now that it's digital unlike the past picture will surely fade

Because of Nikon, I am able to capture the special memories with my daughter. I love taking pictures because for me this is the only treasure that I can show to my baby daughter when she get old. She has a hearing loss so I can't explain her what happened when she was young so with the use of this camera she will be able to know the challenges she had been.. ^^

Because of Nikon, I AM a person who never forgets.
Photos are taken to capture the beauty of everyday living. With photos, we can still reminisce even if we have dementia. Our brain may lose memory because of old age but a photo will never fail to capture our hearts.

Belated happy Birthday!
"Because of Nikon, I'am me. Simply because I capture every moment of my life. My happy family, my funny friends, cute things, stuff that expresses what I feel and simply……. *drum roll* my outfit posts ala Ms.Laureen Uy. I always wanted to be a blogger at my very young age, and for me a camera is one tool for me to share my posts especially outfits and to share to the world my fashion sense, my feelings and all the things about me like happy happenings in my life. For me, the word NIKON means MEMORY. Nikon captures each and every moment of my life. And I know, after some years, when I looked again in that picture, I will remember each and every detail because of Nikon. Thank you!
Belated Happy Birthday Ms. Laureen, I'm joining your giveaway, and have done all the steps. Thanks!

Very good hard woker good job I will use him if do any more work
I now have an outdoor space I not only can use, but love.Ken gave me excellent advice on what would work and I am more than thrilled with the results. Rose
If you are looking for honest, hard-working, reliable tradesmen, these are your guys. Floor preparation was unparalleled - after 4 previous floor disasters, I've got a good understanding of how this all works. To ensure a level floor, they ground down high bits and used a self-leveller to bring up the low bits. They worked late when necessary to get it finished in time - and I mean late - 10 or 11pm. They cleaned up after themselves and we had a team here every day until the job was complete. Excellent job!

Case Study - David's Story
In one word what can be said about Upbeat – Marvellous.
My story goes back 18 months when I was admitted to Calderdale Royal Hospital with breathing difficulties. It became apparent that I was in heart failure and having spent 5 days in hospital I was discharged only to return 6 weeks later, again with breathing difficulties.
Three weeks later I returned to work, initially the plan was for me to work a 5 hour day and gradually increase back to full time. However this was not achievable and eventually I retired on health grounds.
I had regular out patients appointments with my consultant and life continued to tick over, but due to my health there was a reluctance to be very active as I was fearful and did not know my limitations regarding exercise and therefore did not do a great deal.
Eventually I recognised that I needed to do something as my weight was increasing and lethargy had set in. I saw my consultant and discussed the situation with him and he referred me to the Cardiac Rehabilitation Team based within the Hospital. I met up with the team who were very supportive and being medically trained they were fully aware of my limitations and with them I undertook a structured exercise regime. Because their involvement is time limited due to the number of people requiring their services, they then refer individuals to Upbeat.
Joining Upbeat
I had been aware of Upbeat from when I attended the Calderdale One awards where Upbeat were there for an award, and where Linda Cooper received the accolade of Employee of the Year to which she gave a passionate talk about her work within Upbeat. I eventually met up with one of the Upbeat team to discuss the best programme for me.
It was at that point I joined one of their exercise groups based at North Bridge Leisure Centre and agreed that my name would be put forward for one of the Weight Management Groups. My confidence at this point had started to return and I found that I was enjoying the exercise with like minded people.
When I became engaged with the Weight Management group I was a little perturbed as to how much weight I had gained since becoming ill 15 months earlier, so a goal was set by me and Linda and a plan of action was discussed not only with me but the group of people who were in similar circumstances.
As the exercise group continued it was mentioned that there were other options to individuals following the time limited sessions. I decided that the gym would suit my needs best, so with the support of Upbeat, I undertook my induction at Brighouse Pool, following a structured format that was planned by Upbeat and then passed onto the staff at the pool.
Recently as a country we have been following the success of the Olympics and more recently the inspirational athletes taking part in the Paralympics. To celebrate the start of the Olympic journey, Upbeat held their own Olympics at North Bridge Leisure Centre, and having never been an elite athlete myself I decided that I would 'give it a go' and entered 2 events and to my amazement I came away with 2 'Gold' medals.
Thanks to the Cardiac Rehabilitation Team and Upbeat I am now starting to feel a lot better physically. I'm attending the gym 2 or 3 times a week for an hours gentle exercise and my weight is slowly but surely heading the right way – downwards and this continues to be monitored on a weekly basis with Linda.
Thanks to all concerned, you all do a marvellous job!

JARRYD Hayne insists he is ready to end two years of heartache for Eels fans, declaring: "I know how good I can be".
Speaking with The Daily Telegraph on Friday about his 'Jarryd Hayne Olympic Scholarship' -- which will see him mentor Sutherland Shire sprinter Jarrod Geddes — the Eels skipper also shared his thoughts on incoming coach Brad Arthur, the departure of Ricky Stuart, struggling halfback Chris Sandow and those consecutive wooden spoons.
Buoyed by a stellar World Cup campaign, in which he dominated the final playing centre, Hayne also talked about regaining the form that saw him almost single-handedly lead Parramatta to the 2009 grand final, winning himself the coveted Dally M in the process.
Asked if his outstanding Cup form had revived the confidence of '09, Hayne replied: "I know how good I can be, how I can play.
"So in terms of this season, yeah, I'm confident. Relaxed. But it doesn't matter how good I am ... the key for us is to have everything click with all those people around me".
Hayne has created a unique scholarship that aims to put an Australian sprinter into the 100m final at the 2016 Rio Olympics.
Working in conjunction with training/management company Competitive Edge, which has organised a sizeable contract as part of the deal, eight sprinters were initially chosen to compete for the scholarship — with Geddes, who only last week ran a qualifying time for the upcoming Commonwealth Games, eventually announced as the winner.
The result is a huge boost for the 20-year-old Sydneysider who only 18 months ago was unable to secure even the most basic funding.
"When Jarrod first threw his name into the mix he was on his own, no one really wanted him,'' Hayne says. "But now, he's flying."
HAYNE says he can draw a lot of comparisons between his own challenges, leading a team coming off consecutive wooden spoons, to those of Geddes.
"Having people doubt you, say you can't achieve something, it's one of the best motivators out there,'' Hayne says. "So they key is to put yourself into positive environments, surround yourself with people who believe.
"Even after a tough year with the Eels, going on the Kangaroo tour was great because your enthusiasm, your effort levels, they have nowhere to go but up. You have to or you won't compete. That's why as part of this scholarship, we've already sent Jarrod to Jamaica; had him train with Usain Bolt. You have to be among people who believe anything is possible."
ASKED about his new coach, a local product, now replacing Ricky Stuart, Hayne says: "Every time we've got a new coach there's always been plenty of enthusiasm, plenty of energy. But what I really like about Brad is the way he communicates with us.
"For me, he also appears to be among the New Age coaches who understands a player and wants to make sure their body is right, their focus is right, rather than just churning through all the old school stuff."
HAYNE insists the embattled $500,000 halfback, stood down last year to deal with drinking and gambling issues, can fight his way back into the NRL. "Chrissy and I, we're the same type of players. We're confidence players but we're also both competitors who hate to lose. I know Brad has told him he will have to work his way back into the side and that's what he is doing — working hard.."
So what predictions does Hayne have for his side in 2014? "I'm going to be straight up with you and say I don't know,'' he says. "I mean, we're coming off consecutive wooden spoons — there's no use talking anything up at the moment because we haven't got much to talk about. We've done nothing.
"We've had a great pre-season and everyone is ready to go, but we have to get out on the field and do it."

IMPORTANT NOTICE! PLEASE READ! As of 24.2.2012 the fifth chapter has been completely rewritten. I suggest that you go back and read it again before moving forward. NOW!
Okay, I'm just going to assume that you've read the previous chapter.
Author's notes: So, yeah, sorry that it's been so long, but there's been some stuff and I haven't been able to update. Whenever something like this happens, you don't have to worry that I'm dropping the story or something. I'm planning to finish all my stories, but it just takes some time for me to write them.
little101: Neither Kamui nor Takasugi is going to appear in this story, since I doubt they'd be involved with something like this. They're evil, but they're not that evil.
GinHiji: This chapter is for you. Hope you'll like it!

Chapter 6 – If You Can Do It Once, You Can Do It Twice (Probably)
Hijikata took a long drag from his cigarette and slowly blew the smoke out through the slightly ajar window. Listening to the on-going squabble he could feel his temple starting to throb with the coming migraine. Princess Souyo had kindly arranged one of the guest rooms for their meeting, while she and princess Eileen were trying to somehow explain their little stunt to the shogun and her majesty.
Taking one more drag before throwing the cigarette butt out and closing the window, Hijikata turned around to face the chaos. He had known that Kondou wouldn't agree with the Yorozuya's plan, even if the bait they were going to use was a Yato. Their Commander might have some weird quirks when it came to that Shimura woman, but normally he was a man with high morals and strict set of rules.
It didn't matter that the girl was able to lift a grown man with one arm, as she was currently demonstrating, she was still a civilian and a minor. Hijikata knew that Kondou could never forgive himself if something were to happen to the girl.
"Kagura-chan, that's enough," Shinpachi finally stepped out to stop his friend, who just huffed and let go of the Shinsengumi Commander, dropping the man unceremoniously to the floor, "Kondou-san, we don't want to go through with this plan either, but it's currently those girls' only hope," Shinpachi tried to explain, "If you guys could let us borrow some sort of a tracking device and maybe some communicators, we could lead you to that group's possible hideout. We're going to need some sort of police support anyway, so we might as well work together."
"I'm sorry, Shinpachi-kun, but it's the Shinsengumi's duty to ensure the safety of civilians. We can't just allow one to endanger themselves like this," Kondou apologised, "If the higher-ups heard that we knowingly sent a child to a den of perverts, our heads would roll."
"And while you're trying to protect one girl's virtue, dozens of others will be sold off-world or to the local dealers, not to mention all those girls they're robbing off the streets as we speak," Gintoki stated, "At least Kagura can fend off most people that try to come after her. She's also of the right age, and with some make-up and right clothes we can probably make her look decent."
"What the hell was that supposed to mean?" Kagura growled while punching her guardian to the gut. Gintoki fell next to Kondou, holding his stomach in pain.
Kondou stood and gave Hijikata an uncertain look, "What do you think, Toshi?"
"I think it's a moronic plan."
"Excuse me?" Gintoki growled.
"Think about it, you idiot," Hijikata crossed his arms, pointedly not looking at the Yorozuya still crouching on the ground, "What makes you think that this girl would be picked out of all the others in Edo? These guys most likely follow their targets around for weeks to make sure taking them won't cause any problems. We can't even pinpoint their centre of operations, so where would you even start? Besides, you'd have to be as stupid as Sougo to pick a fight with a girl from the Yato clan."
"That one kinda stung, Hijikata-san."
"But at first glance you can't really tell a Yato apart from a human," Shinpachi pointed out, "Kagura-chan only has to control herself a bit and she would look like a normal girl."
"What do you mean 'a normal girl'?" Kagura growled.
"Maybe so, but your girl has been running all over the city destroying buildings left and right. A blind man would know that she's a Yato," Hijikata informed him. Not to mention that she's from the infamous 'den of monsters', he dared a quick glance at the silver-haired man finally picking himself up from the floor. The man might be an idiot, but even the Shinsengumi had heard the rumours circulating around the city. Hijikata was sure that the kidnappers wouldn't knowingly dare to incur the wrath of the demon dwelling in Kabukichou.
"Well, maybe we can just disguise her," Shinpachi pondered, "But the biggest problem is where we should start. You guys really have no clues as to where we might most likely run into these people?"
"Not really. The ones working on the street are professionals and know how to blend into the crowd," Kondou told him, "Since the dealers themselves are so hard to find, we've been trying to come up with possible buyers or others who would support their operations."
Hijikata sighed and rubbed his throbbing temple. Both Kondou and Sougo were far too ready to share information with these guys.
"So, do you guys suspect anyone who might be involved with this business?" the Yorozuya asked.
"Kobuta Bakerou," Sougo began, and Hijikata rolled his eyes. Confidential information was just flying out the window today, it seemed, "He's one of the biggest transport tycoons in Edo, not to mention he has been apprehended before for owning a dubious collection of AVs. The charges were dropped, though, since no one was willing to testify against him. He has both money and power, so he would be an ideal funder."
"Well, why don't you just go to this guy's place and punch him a couple of times to get him to talk?" Kagura asked.
"Because there's this little thing called the law," Sougo taunted her, "He refuses to have an audience with us, and he won't let us take a look around his companies or private estates without a search warrant, which the judge refuses to give us."
"If Zaki wasn't on a mission, we could've have him infiltrate Kobuta's company," Kondou sighed, "Unfortunately we thought of that after Zaki had left and now we can't contact him any more."
"Man, you guys are stupid," Kagura scoffed.
"You're stupid," Sougo retorted off-handedly.
"That's it, Gin-san!" Shinpachi exclaimed, stopping Kagura and Sougo before they could start another fight, "Why don't we just have that guy get interested in Kagura-chan and have those guys come and kidnap her?"
"And why would he be interested in your girl?" Hijikata pointed out.
"Well, you said that these guys are interested in rare humanoid breeds," Shinpachi reminded him, "The Yato are almost extinct and I don't recall ever hearing of another Yato girl besides Kagura-chan. I'm sure there's someone who'd be willing to pay a lot of money for her. If Kobuta has anything to do with the humanoid-traffickers, he'll surely tell them about having seen a Yato girl in town."
"Again with this Yato crap!" Hijikata groaned, ignoring Kagura's glare, "I keep telling you, no one but Sougo is stupid enough to pick a fight with a Yato!"
"Okay, you're starting to piss me off, Hijikata-san."
"But Kagura-chan's just a child," Shinpachi pointed out, "They might assume that she isn't as powerful as a full grown Yato."
"All right then, suppose that Kobuta really is that stupid," Hijikata sighed, "And then what? How exactly are you going to make her catch his eye? Just doll her up and make her prance in front of him?"
"Well, why not?" Gintoki asked.
Hijikata felt like hitting his head against something hard, "First of all," he began slowly, "Kobuta doesn't socialise with commoners. He moves around the town in a limousine, so it's very unlikely that he would just happen to get a glimpse of your girl. Not to mention that all his buildings are heavily guarded, so you can't even enter his enterprises or private estates."
"Yeah, but if he knows there's a Yato-," Shinpachi began.
"And how are you going to let him know that, huh? Like I just said, there's no way you people can get anywhere near him, so how would you let him know there's a Yato in this city?"
"Maybe I could be of assistance," a soft voice spoke up.
Everyone turned to look at Souyo who had just entered the room, escorted by the Shinsengumi Captains Harada and Inoue. Hijikata, Kondou and even Sougo stood at attention, but Yorozuya and his brats kinda greeted her off-handedly.
"How's her highness doing?" Shinpachi inquired.
"She's much better, but her majesty is keeping her under lock and key, so she won't be able to join us," Souyo informed them, then turned to look at Gintoki, "If you need help with Kobuta-dono, there's a royal gala being held in honour of her majesty's visit tomorrow night. We could always introduce her highness to him there as a Yato aristocrat."
"Wow! You can really do that, Souyo?" Kagura asked excitedly.
The princess nodded, smiling, "I'll just tell my brother that I want to invite a lady whom I met at a poetry reading. It shouldn't be harder than that," she looked at Kagura, a bit uncertain, "But, would it be too insulting for your highness to lower yourself to a status like that?"
"That won't be a problem," Gintoki assured her, turning to Hijikata, "Well, that got solved surprisingly easily," he smirked, "Unless you have some other problems to point out, I'd say that we have a perfect plan."
Hijikata felt his eye twitch as he gave the man a glare. The idiot's smirk faded.
"What? Seriously?"
"Why would they go after an aristocrat, who will obviously be missed and most likely get a bunch of bloodthirsty full-grown Yato after them?" Hijikata pointed out.
"He's right, Gin-san," Shinpachi agreed, but Souyo just smiled confidently.
"Don't worry, we'll just make her a fallen aristocrat."
"'Fallen'?" Kagura wondered.
"It's when an aristocratic family has lost all their inherited fortune," Shinpachi explained.
"You see it a lot these days now that the industry and free-trade are booming," Kondou added, "They spend all their money on their extravagant lifestyle, but don't really have any income. Soon they're either forced to give up that life, or find themselves neck-deep in debt."
"It's perfect, Gin-san," Shinpachi looked at the older man, "If an aristocrat like that went missing, everyone would just assume they were running from the debt-collectors."
"Great idea, Souyo!" Kagura cheered, giving the princess a bone-shattering hug.
Hijikata gave them all a look.
"Goddammit, you're pissing me off!" Gintoki snapped, "What now?"
"Who would believe that a 13-year old aristocrat would be alone on an unknown planet, in a royal gala, without an escort?" Hijikata pointed out. He was getting really tired of always having to be the voice of reason in these situations, "Even if you went with a story that she's the only living member of her family or something, she would have a guardian or a treasurer with her. Someone who would take care of her and her fortune until she comes of age."
Everyone looked at Souyo, but she looked just as lost as they did, "I... I'm sorry. I didn't think of that..." then she looked up at Kagura, "Ah, but couldn't one of your retainers disguise themselves as your guardian, your highness?"
"Wouldn't work. We need to make it seem as though you're really easy to capture. A male escort would probably make it seem too risky."
"What about a female escort?" Shinpachi offered.
"And where are you going to find one on such a short notice?" Hijikata asked, "The girl is still young, so she could be forgiven for not knowing how to behave properly in a royal gala, but an adult is expected to know the etiquette. You wouldn't have time to train her properly before tomorrow night."
"Maybe we could ask Otae-san to-."
"NO!" everyone protested before Kondou could finish his sentence.
"You guys don't have any officers who could help?" Shinpachi asked.
"The Shinsengumi doesn't have any female officers," Sougo told him, "But I don't see why it needs to be a woman. Let's just put some dude in drag and be done with it."
"But Zaki's on a mission and we don't have anyone else who could make a believable woman."
"Why are you guys willing to go along with this nonsense?" Hijikata muttered. It was almost scary how much influence the Yorozuya trio had on the Shinsengumi. He dared another glance at the silver-haired bastard and to his surprise noticed the man looking at him. There was something in the guy's eyes that sent a shiver down his spine, and Hijikata gritted his teeth when he realised what the idiot was plotting.
No way...
"Yorozuya?" Kondou queried as he saw the look on the man's face.
"How about the Demon Vice-Commander over here?"
"What? Toshi?" Kondou looked at his subordinate, "I don't know..."
"Why not? He knows the case details, he's familiar with the court etiquette and I kinda have a feeling that he would make a passable woman," Gintoki smirked at Hijikata, "Hell, with that skin and those eyes he could even pass as a Yato."
To Hijikata's horror Kondou seemed to be seriously considering this, "Well, I would feel much better if Toshi was the one to keep an eye on China-"
"You can't be serious!" Hijikata finally erupted.
"Gin-chan, I don't want a smelly Mayora as my guardian!" Kagura also protested.
"What the hell makes you think I would even agree to do this?" Hijikata snapped, "And why does it have to be me? Sougo could do it just as well!"
"I don't want a stupid sadist as a guardian, either!"
"Really, Hijikata-san? You really want me to go to the royal gala? To the royal gala with all those lords and ladies, most of who pay our salaries? You want me to go there? With this girl? Okay, fine, if you're willing to take full responsibility. Bring me the dress!"
"Wait, I didn't quite think this over!" Hijikata hurried to stop him. Dammit, as much as he hated to admit it, he really was the only guy in here who could do this. Still, he couldn't agree to something like this just like that. Hijikata rubbed his now painfully throbbing temple, "You sure it has to be me?"
"Well, I wouldn't mind doing it, but I'm too young and don't really know all that much about court etiquette," Shinpachi apologised, "You're the only one here with both looks and manners."
"Come on now, Vice-Commander-san. It's not such a big deal," the Yorozuya said, smirking.
"Please, Toshi! It would really put my mind at ease if you were to do it," Kondou begged.
Hijikata's eye twitched as he tried to control himself. He felt like killing something, preferably something with silver hair, but both Kondou and the princess were looking at him with puppy dog eyes and the damned Yorozuya was giving him a challenging look. Finally he was able get himself together and grit out, "Fine."
"Oh, how lovely!" Souyo cheered, then grabbed both Kagura and Hijikata and started herding them out of the room, "Now, if you two would come with me. We need to find you some proper dresses."
"What are all these people doing here?" Hijikata finally asked, glancing at the princess and wincing when one of the maids pulled at his hair.
"There's no need to worry, Hijikata-san. These are all my personal maids. They're professionals and will make you two look like respectable ladies in no time."
"But how come they're all attending to me?" There were far too many maids all hustling and bustling around him, obviously biting their cheeks to keep themselves from giggling while adding the hair-extensions. Meanwhile the Yato girl was left to her own devices, currently applying make-up to her pale face, "Do I really need this many people to put on a dress?"
"I'm sorry. I just assumed that you wouldn't be as familiar with this kind of behaviour as her highness and I," Souyo apologised, "If you'd rather attend to yourself, I should probably order them off."
All the maids looked almost heart-broken when they heard this, wordlessly pleading the princess to allow them to stay.
"No, that's all right," Hijikata sighed, "I appreciate the effort. I just hate to be a bother like this."
"Oh, it's nothing. After all, you look so lovely that we hardly have to do anything," Souyo smiled encouragingly.
Hijikata could feel his eye twitch. That wasn't really a comment he'd wanted to hear.
"My lady, we have the dresses," one of the maids informed them.
"Excellent!" Souyo left Hijikata's side to go and inspect the fabrics the servant girls had just brought in. Hijikata was amazed at how quickly she had been able to acquire them. After all, it had only been moments since that embarrassing measuring incident.
"What's that?" Kagura piped up.
"It's a hanfu," Souyo explained while one of the maids held up a red silk dress, "I wasn't sure what kind of formal wear I should get, but Gintoki-san told me that something like this would suit you."
Hijikata was relieved to see the long-sleeved silk robes. For a moment he had feared that the Yorozuya had asked the princess to get something more form-fitting, like a cheongsam.
"Cool!" Kagura commented, then stood up from her make-up stand, "Okay, I'm done!"
Hijikata's eyes widened in shock when he saw the mess on the Yato girl's face. He might not know much about make-up, but he was pretty sure some of that stuff wasn't supposed to go there.
"Come on, Mayora. I'll do yours too!"
He tried to bolt, but the girl just pushed him back to his seat and dammit, it was unfair how easily she could do it.
"Oh, your highness, that's amazing!" Souyo gasped. Hijikata looked at her like the princess had just lost her mind, "But, I think we should go with something a bit more traditional."
"You sure?"
"I'm sorry," Souyo escorted Kagura back to her seat and another maid started cleaning her face, "You two just leave everything to me and my girls."
Hijikata sighed in relief, but it was short-lived when he saw what the maids attending to him had pulled out, "What...?"
"Sir, you're going to need some make-up, too."
"But... All this?" What was all that, anyway? He could recognise maybe two or three of those bottles.
"Do not worry, sir," one of the women smiled at him, "We're professionals and we promise that after we're done, you'll look splendid."
Hijikata didn't really like that smile. He was sure that if the princess hadn't been present, these women would be squealing and making a fuss just like the hostesses had about a month ago. Dammit, why did people seem to have so much fun dressing him up?
Finally deciding that it would be best to just go with the flow, Hijikata slumped back into his chair. The worst part was that he would have to go through with this same ordeal tomorrow.
"I apologise for the wait, my dear sirs," Souyo announced to the room full of people, "May I introduce, the countess Shen Le and her lady-in-waiting Shi Si."
Hijikata stumbled forward when Kagura forcibly pushed him into the room, almost tripping on his long, blue robes. To his horror he could see that Kondou had apparently called for the rest of the Shinsengumi Captains, all of who were now staring at him in blank shock.
"Well, guys? What do you think?" Kagura asked excitedly, pulling Hijikata close and entwining their arms together, obviously waiting for some sort of comment.
Kagura was wearing a lavishly decorated crimson red hanfu, with her hair braided and pulled up with a butterfly hair ornament made of gold and rubies. Her lips were painted pink and the heavy mascara made her eyelashes look long and dark, bringing out the shockingly blue eyes.
Hijikata tried to keep himself from fidgeting too much in his own dark blue robes. He still thought that the women had gone a bit overboard with his get-up, especially with the long, black hair that ran all the way past his lower back, even when it was tied high with a platinum hair ornament resembling a lotus flower. He felt like wiping his face, but the thought of smearing the make-up and being forced back to the hands of the 'professionals' gave him enough self-control not to.
No one had said a word yet and Kagura frowned at them. The Shinsengumi Captains were having a dilemma. If they didn't say something soon, the Yato girl would beat them up, but if they commented on their looks, their Vice-Commander would beat them up. Finally Harada dared to open his mouth and Hijikata quickly punched him, watching in satisfaction as the bald man crashed to the floor.
"Anyone else?" he asked, glaring at the other Captains who quickly backed away, furiously shaking their heads.
"It suits you, Toshi," Kondou smiled encouragingly.
"Not really what I wanted to hear, Kondou-san," Hijikata muttered dejectedly.
"Wow! Kagura-chan, you look amazing!" Shinpachi clapped his hands and the Yato girl smiled, giving a little twirl and flapping her long sleeves like wings, "But are you sure you'll be able to fight in that get-up?"
"Well, it's a bit hard to run and kick with this," Kagura lifted the hem of her robe, "but my punches are still good," she did a few quick jabs, "I can just toss the outer gown and rip the hem a bit and I should be fine."
"Are you sure? That stuff looks pretty expensive," the Yorozuya spoke up and Hijikata felt himself tense. He was a bit surprised that the bastard hadn't started taunting him yet.
"Souyo says that it's okay."
"Indeed," the princess assured them, "I want to be of help to her highness, so this is the least I can do. Besides, the hanfu aren't custom made, so they're fairly cheap. I thought that it would fit the 'fallen aristocrat' look."
"Huh, you don't say," Gintoki pulled at the fabric of Kagura's robe, "So, how much is this stuff exactly?"
"Um, about 500 000 yen, I think."
Gintoki quickly let go of the fabric and he and Shinpachi backed away.
"Kagura, get out of that stuff."
"No, no! It's all right, really!" Souyo hurried to assure them, "Think of them as a gift."
"At least try to safe the shreds if you can," Gintoki whispered to Kagura, "We could still profit from them later."
"Toshi," Kondou spoke up, "These are the tracking devices I had brought here. We'll tie them to your ankles and Harada's unit will be monitoring them."
"I have to wear one, too?" Hijikata asked.
"Just for precaution," Kondou handed the small devices to Hijikata and Kagura, "The problem is that they're not communicators, so you won't be able to call for help if something goes wrong. Units 1 to 5 will be at the gala as security, but it's better if we're not seen together."
"Understood," Hijikata sighed.
"So, what are we going to do until tomorrow night?" Kagura asked.
"We have to return to the headquarters, but you and Toshi should probably stay here and get in character," Kondou gave Hijikata a friendly pat on the shoulder, "I really appreciate you for doing this, Toshi. I know it must be hard for you."
"I'll survive," Hijikata muttered.
Kondou gave him one last smile before bowing to the princess and leading his men out of the room.
"Try not to screw up tomorrow, China," Sougo commented before ducking away from a random object the girl threw at him.
"Kagura-chan! You're not at home!" Shinpachi scolded her.
"Actually I would appreciate it if you'd stop doing that at home, too," Gintoki grunted.
"It's not my fault that guy's always pissing me off!" Kagura tried to defend herself, "I'm so glad I get to be among sophisticated people for change."
"Excuse me, your highness," a servant suddenly appeared, kneeling down and handing a folded up paper to Souyo, "One of the officers left this message for 'that Chinese girl'."
Kagura snatched the message and quickly read through it.
She picked up an expensive looking vase and ran out of the room.
"Oh, gods! Kagura-chan, get back here!" Shinpachi yelled, running after her with confused Souyo and a horrified servant right at his tail.
Hijikata let out a tired sigh and leaned against the wall. Things were always so hectic when those guys were around. One day he would have to lecture Sougo about antagonising that girl.
"Looking pretty good, are we?"
Hijikata jumped and stared at the smirking Yorozuya. He had completely forgotten that the man was in the room, "I was wondering when you'd decide to speak up," Hijikata growled, "Having fun laughing at my expense?"
"Well, I was going to, but it's kinda hard to laugh when it suits you so well," Gintoki stepped forward and reached out to touch the long, ebony hair, "Seriously, it looks even better than it did last time."
Hijikata slapped the hand away and glared at the man, "I really don't want to talk about that time," he tried to push past the Yorozuya, but a strong hand grabbed his arm and pulled him back.
"Hey, what did the gorilla mean when he said that this would be hard for you?"
"Nothing," Hijikata hissed, "Of course something like this is going to hurt my male pride. He was just being considerate," he glanced at the silver-haired idiot and tried to pull his arm free, "Unlike some people who just like to barge in on other people's jobs and tell them how to do them."
"Hey, I don't like this plan either," the Yorozuya snarled, "but I like the idea of what might happen to those girls even less."
"I want to save them too," Hijikata growled, "I just don't want to have to do this with you."
He gasped when he was suddenly pushed against the wall, the back of his head hitting the hard wood.
"What the hell are you-?" he fell silent when he saw the blazing red eyes. The Yorozuya leaned closer, so close that their foreheads almost touched.
"What the hell is your problem?" the Yorozuya growled, "If this is about that night, may I remind you that it was you who initiated it, you who practically begged me to do it, and you who left that big bite mark on me. It took two weeks for that mark to completely disappear, you know? So why the hell are you acting like it was all my fault?"
Hijikata tried to look away, but the man just grabbed his chin and forced him to look back, "It was just a one night thing," he finally snarled, "Let it go."
"I'm trying to, but you're acting all self-conscious about it," Gintoki growled, "I don't know how familiar you are with it, but usually a 'one night stand' means that life goes on normally afterwards."
"It is going on normally!"
"No, it's not!" Gintoki barked, "Why are you suddenly avoiding me and refusing to accept my help when you obviously need it?"
"That is normal for me! I just don't like you! Ever thought of that?"
The Yorozuya stared at him long and hard, "I don't care whether you like me or not, but I know that this kind of behaviour isn't normal for you. I don't know what it is, but it's affecting your ability to work and since we're supposed to be on the same side, it's affecting my ability to work, too. Get over it so that we can get this job done, and after that you can go to hell for all I care!"
Hijikata gritted his teeth. He didn't want to admit it, but the idiot was right. He had been acting unprofessionally, and for personal reasons. He was supposed to be better than this, he was supposed to be able to hide his tumultuous emotions and do his goddamned job! And still he had been fighting against a perfectly logical plan, one that could save lives, all so that he wouldn't have to be in the same room as this idiot.
"Why you?" Hijikata muttered.
"Why the hell did it have to be you?"
Gintoki looked surprised, but then he sighed and stepped back, allowing Hijikata room to breath, "I don't know," he said, "Why did it have to be me?"
"Because you were there..." Hijikata whispered, rubbing his temple, "Because you always have to be fucking there..."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Gintoki asked, obviously confused.
"What about you?" Hijikata countered, "What prompted you to go along with it?"
The Yorozuya blinked, apparently caught off guard with the question. He looked away and scratched the back of his head, "I don't know," he began, "I guess you kinda looked like-"
"Okay, stop."
"I get it," Hijikata pushed himself off the wall and looked at the Yorozuya, eyes steady and head held high, "I apologise for the way I've acted. That was very unprofessional of me. You don't have to worry about my behaviour any more. I suggest we both forget about this and go do our jobs. The Shinsengumi appreciates your help with this investigation."
"Wait... That's it?" Gintoki looked a bit taken aback, "You mean that everything's suddenly okay? Just like that?"
"I wonder where that girl of yours ran to," Hijikata wondered, "We still have to come up with a believable background story."
"Hey, Hijikata-kun!"
But Hijikata was already walking out of the room and down the hallway.
It was all right now. He had just been a bit confused about that man's motives, but now he understood. The guy was just like everybody else.
"Because you looked like..."
"I thought you'd be more like..."
Really, all those people were the same, and he was used to dealing with that. In a sense it was a relief. Now he could just forget about that little incident and move on. Just like always.
Hijikata rubbed his temple, willing the migraine to go away.
Where the hell had that stupid girl run to?
Author's notes: So those of you that have read the old version of the fifth chapter probably noticed that I moved some stuff from that chapter to this one. I think it paces out better this way.
One thing I forgot to mention about the last chapter; Hijikata barging in to the Yorozuya as he pleases. Because he does that. Always. And Gintoki always comments on that XD So him suddenly not barging in is considered out-of-character for him.
I love Hijikata and Kagura! They're my favourite characters in Gintama (everyone else is just there to make them look good)! Too bad they haven't had that many scenes together, besides that one scene in the Yagyuu Arc. I just loved the interaction between them XD Shen Le and Shi Si are the Chinese Pinyin readings of the kanji for Kagura and Toshi. I also decided to give them the Chinese Hanfu dresses since those just look so beautiful! Google for 'hanfu' and see for yourselves. So yeah, this basically means that those pictures at my DA account are useless now, but I promise to draw new ones.
Advertising time: If you like my Gintama stories, there's also a short poetry-ish oneshot that I wrote titled "The Boy Who Smelt of Blood". It's not really GinHiji, but could be seen as such. I'd like to hear some comments for it, since it's the first time I've written something like that.

The month of March. You don't know what you'll get weather wise. We started the month with fridges temperatures, snow, ice, warm temperatures, melting snow, freezing rain, more snow. The month came in like a lion and as the old saying goes should go out like a lamb. A season of not wanting to let go of winter and summer trying to take hold.
The four foot snow banks in our driveway have melted considerably and now barely visible. The snow on the front yard has melted, showing some grass, but snow is still about a foot deep in the gardens. The ground is still frozen.
I'm itching to get in the garden again after the long winter, but must be patient as there's not too much to do until May here.
There are also seasons in my knitting too. During the fall so much is on Christmas knitting. Since January my inspiration for knitting has been a lull. In these times have a supply of cotton on hand to knit up dish cloths. These, for me are quick projects and things I can do without too much thinking and at the same time feel I've accomplished something in the evenings.

Joliet, Ill. three star ranked inside linebacker prospect Chris Jeske (6-foot-1, 225 pounds) won his 3rd state title last weekend, but Jeske tonight seemed just as excited as he gave Northwestern University his verbal commitment after his weekend official visit in Evanston.
"I had a great official visit to Northwestern over the weekend," Jeske said. "I really was able to get some questions answered on my visit, and I decided to give Northwestern my verbal commitment today."
Jeske talked about his visit as well as why he picked the Wildcats.
"I really just get along very well with all of the coaches, including linebackers coach Pat Fitzgerald. The academics are great as well, but I wanted to make sure that I liked the players and got along with them well. I definitely like the players and my player host for the weekend was Tim McGarigle and we are two Catholic school guys who have a lot in common. I've been to Northwestern many times before, so I was really familiar with the facilities and the campus already. What clinched it for me was my overall visit this weekend. I just felt at ease and at home with the Wildcats."
"It feels really good to have my recruiting over with and it feels especially good to be heading to Evanston next year. My family is also really excited about me getting an education from Northwestern as well. I've been feeling like Northwestern was the team to beat for awhile now. I was also giving both Colorado State and UCLA serious consideration, but in the end I went with my gut."
"I'm a solid verbal commit to Northwestern."

Finlay Enterprises
Founded : 2005
Activities : Precious and semi-precious gemstones
Stockists : 2,800 locations
Origin : 529 Fifth Avenue
New York, NY 10017
Ziaris is the privately held precious and semi-precious wholesale operation of Grand Metropolitan and Vin Lee Jewelers. It has been capitalized with almost 100,000 carats of rubies, emeralds, sapphires and many others. Ziaris sources inventory from struggling or bankrupt wholesale, retail, and manufacturing jewelers across North America.
It is the sister company of Sarasota Sterling, Grand Metropolitan's new precious metals brand once part of The Diamond Standard. Ziaris inventories have been sourced from the transactions with ThaiStone London, American Jeweler Manufacturers, Wisconstone Ltd., and others since Vin Lee's first purchase of DuQuet Jewelers in 1992.
The Diamond Standard, a privately held Beverly Hills based diamond brokerage servicing over 2,800 retail, wholesale and manufacturing jewelers in North America has split into three separate divisions establishing branding for each. In 2009, Sarasota Sterling abandoned it's separate offices and retail expansion plans to be completely integrated into Grand Metropolitan. Ziaris (precious stones) TDSNA (diamonds) and Sarasota Sterling (precious metals) will still maintain the same confidential showroom and safehouse inventory facilities in Bel Air, Beverly Hills, and Sarasota, FL along with it's customer base.
All three jewelry operations while maintaining separate brand management will continue to service all of Grand Metropolitans brick and mortar and online retail operations as well as our designer brands. The Diamond Standards, Vin Lee Jewelers, Tennis Earrings, Commitment Bands, Wicked Woodies, Zemil Jewelers, Ceylat Jewelers, Henricks Jewelers, DuQuet Jewelers, and Grand Metropolitan's partial ownership in local and regional jewelers across North America.
Vertical integration is a key component to success in the jewelry industry. While Vin Lee Jewelers has been featured along side Harry Winston and worn by celebrities, dignitaries and even royalty, many of the brands within Finlay Enterprises cater to a broader audience. Starting with the acquisition of American Jewelry Manufacturers in the early 90s, the Group became the jeweler's jeweler, providing precious metal and gemstone inventory, manufacturing, and design work for other retail and wholesaler operations.
In 2011, Sarasota Sterling and Ziaris were absorbed by other assets of the Fine Jewelry Group.

THE do-or-die netball game for the Firebirds against Magic in Hamilton on Monday could be won from the bench.
Candice Adams, who specialises as a goal attack, goal shooter and wing attack, said a fired-up and vocal support staff and bench were an essential part of securing victory against a staunchly parochial New Zealand crowd.
"That's what makes our team so special, we're a team of 12 not just a team of seven on court," said Adams.
"Going away to New Zealand, they're going to have their home crowd behind them, so (on the bench) we make as much noise as we can to block them out.
"We try to be as supportive and as encouraging as we can and give the girls on court all the help they need."
The Firebirds still need either the Swifts to lose to Mystics (possible), or the Thunderbirds to lose to Tactix (unlikely) tomorrow to have any chance of securing a finals berth.
Then they have to beat Magic - the only side to have made the playoffs for the past four years - by a massive 21 points (less if Thunderbirds lose), on Monday.
Gun shooter Romelda Aiken agreed playing across the ditch would be tough.
"The Kiwi sides come out fighting with their supporters 100 per cent behind them, so we just use our off-court players and our management staff as our support," she said.
Adams said the game would be an exciting challenge.
"We're finally showing our true colours as the defending champions," she said.
"We played last week (against Fever) the way we used to, so it's time to pull out a great performance and show everyone we can do it and there's no doubt about it.
"There's no reason why we can't win on Monday night."
Adams said the loss of Keirra Trompf to a season-ending knee injury had given them even more incentive to perform to make her proud.
Almost as soon as the last ball of the season is thrown, Adams will be off to London to support her partner Josh Dunkley-Smith - one of rowing's new oarsome foursome.

PARIS — Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl told people treating him at an American military medical facility in Germany that he was tortured, beaten and held in a cage by his Taliban captors in Afghanistan after he tried to escape, a senior U.S. official said Sunday.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss what Bergdahl revealed about the conditions of his captivity. The New York Times first reported on the matter.
Bergdahl, now 28, was captured in June 2009 after he disappeared from his infantry unit. He was held for nearly five years by Taliban militants.
Taliban spokesmen could not be immediately reached for comment Sunday. On Friday, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid told The Associated Press by telephone that Bergdahl was held under "good conditions." The claim could not be independently verified.
Military doctors at the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center said although Bergdahl is physically able to travel, he's not yet emotionally prepared to be reunited with his family. He has not yet spoken to his family.
It's unclear when he may get to go home.
The Pentagon said in a statement Sunday it would not comment on Bergdahl's discussions with those caring for him.

My 3.5 year old has been potty trained during the day for nearly a year. I have not been able to get her to not pee at night. We were doing pull ups at night until a few weeks ago i got so sick of buying those dumb things and instead bought SuperUndies Nighttime cloth diapers. They work really well when with a doubler. I used cloth diapers with her when she was a baby but my washing machine (Duet) just didn't clean them well enough and she was getting rashes all the time. I think there has been 2 times in her life that she hasn't been wet in the morning. In the past few months she has had pee accidents throughout the day - not like emptying her bladder accidents, but enough to wet her underwear. I think some of the issue is not wanting to stop playing and forgetting to go and i think it might also be due to constipation (i read an article about how constipation can cause accidents, etc. ). Now she has what i think is a yeast rash. I don't think it is internal. It is slightly red from front to back and it itches and burns when she pees or poops.
1) anyone have any experience or advice on the yeast issue?
2) cloth pull-ups - is this just a bad choice for us and should we go back to pull-ups? if there is yeast in them it will be super hard to kill it (from what I remember)
3) any advice on the accidents and not being dry at night?
lots of questions, sorry:) I just do not want to bring her to the doctor unless i really have to. i know he will just tell her to come in. i have 4 kids that i would have to bring with me and they always get sick after coming home from the doc's office.
thank you!
We picked my daughter up out of bed and sat her on the potty (at bedside) until she was about 4. She wouldn't fully wake up; she'd just pee. Around 4 she was consistently dry in the morning, and we stopped nightime diapers. I don't think it's unusual at all not to be dry at night at 3-1/2, or not to be perfectly daytime dry.
Where do you live? Sunlight is an awesome disinfectant, but I know we are lucky to have so much of it so reliably here. My daughter had her first yeast infection at around 2? and we didn't have to see the doctor about it. Just described it over the phone, used an over the counter anti-fungal cream. I'm sure if it hadn't responded right away or if it had come right back we would have taken her in, but I agree, the less time spent in that office the better.
Do you have the opportunity to let her run around nudie-bottom? That's also helpful.
Not sure about the cloth diapers. We had to stop them because I had high-dose chemo when the kids were 2 and 3-1/2 because I had no white blood cells, but it seemed like we found a way through every hurdle before that to keep using them. It's a lot of trial and error.

Twenty-six year old Quentin is a native New Yorker. He's got the accent and the attitude. He's also straight, but there's nothing he loves more than getting a good blowjob - one where the person blowing him takes his cock deep in their mouth and throat. Unfortunately for Quentin, women willing to suck a dick like that are few and far between. And that's what led him to New York Straight Men. He heard that men give a better blowjob, and he just couldn't help himself - he had to find out if that was true.
Quentin was in luck, because when he decided to try his first blowjob from a guy, Ben was the cocksucker in residence at NYSM - and if there's one thing Ben loves to do, it's suck straight cock.
Ben will take those cocks as deep as he can go, only coming up to slide his mouth back down again. If he gags a little, he doesn't mind - and that's very different from the women who had sucked Quentin.
Quentin said that getting his rod serviced by Ben was one of the best sexual experiences of his entire life. And I suspect that after experiencing Ben's pro blowjob, Quentin may find himself coming back for more some time...

Two investigations launched into death of MMA fighter Joao Carvalho
Two separate investigations into the death of MMA fighter Joao Carvalho are under way today.
News of the investigations come as the father of Carvalho's Irish opponent said the referee should have stopped the match sooner.
Charlie Ward Senior, father of MMA fighter Charlie Ward (36), said his son "didn't go out to kill anyone" and has been left devastated by Carvalho's death.
Gardaí have confirmed they are investigating the death of the 28-year-old Portuguese athlete, and a file will be prepared for Dublin Coroner's Court. This is standard in all
investigations involving sudden deaths.
Separately, the Health and Safety Authority (HSA) has begun its own preliminary probe into the incident, to determine whether it should investigate further
"Generally, people who suffer injury or death during sporting activity fall outside of the remit of the HSA," a statement said.
"We will however examine the circumstances of this tragic incident to determine if there is an employer/employee relationship and if we have a role."
The Irish Amateur Pankration Association (IAPA) - the body responsible for MMA here - said it would participate in any investigation into the incident. It is headed by John Kavanagh, the coach of both Charlie Ward and UFC champion Conor McGregor.
A post-mortem examination has been scheduled for today, the results of which will help to clarify what contributed to Carvalho's tragic death.
Carvalho lost the welterweight bout to McGregor's teammate Ward at the Total Extreme Fighting (TEF) event at the National Stadium on Saturday.
The fight was stopped by the referee in the third round.
Video footage from the event showed that Carvalho suffered numerous punches to the head.
He looked unsteady on his feet before Ward landed the punch that made him collapse.
The referee finally called a stop to the punishment as Ward began to unleash punches on his grounded opponent.
Medical personnel for the bout, speaking while Carvalho was still in hospital over the weekend, said he was smiling and appeared fine after the fight.
However, around 20 minutes later, he vomited, complained of headaches and said that he felt nauseous.
He was rushed to Dublin's Beaumont Hospital where he underwent surgery for a bleed on the brain.
Despite the best efforts of doctors, he passed away 48 hours later at 9.35pm on Monday.
In an emotional interview with Joe Duffy on RTÉ's 'Liveline' programme yesterday, Charlie Ward Senior said his son told him that he had been pulling punches in the final round of the fight.
"Charles told me there was no way he was hitting him hard in the last round, because he knew he had him beat," Mr Ward said.
"He said a child would have took them," he continued.
"He said: 'No way were those punches hard. There's no way I was hitting him hard'."
Mr Ward added that his entire family were left shocked by the death of Charlie's competitor.
Asked about how Charlie's mother is coping, he said: "Sure, she's in bits".
Mr Ward also said his son had been training for "seven days a week for the last 20-odd years".
"It's happened in my family," he said.
"He didn't go out to kill anyone. It's just one of these unfortunate things.
"He went out to win his fight, but the referee could have been a bit quicker as far as I'm concerned."

Pre Set up.
Before an excavation starts a complete danger evaluation from the web site is required to highlight any opportunity threats, the tools required as well as staffing needed. Does the location require extra obtain?
Then the trench by itself requirements be thought of. How massive does the trench will need for being, how deep? Trenches more than five foot want assist either from sloping, shoring or trench box.

How will the ditch be accessed? by ladders, actions or will it need a ramp? There should be harmless obtain in just 25 toes of workers continually, in the event of emergencies. There may additionally be the necessity to test the ambiance from the trench for reduced oxygen ranges or poisonous gases. Trench containers are articulated to permit for simple set up; on the other hand this helps make it unsafe to stack the boxes along with one another.

- All staff on website needs to be carrying their particular protective tools, metal toed boots, really hard hat, substantial visibility clothes and many others.
- Ensure weighty products and resources are placed and stored far from the edge on the trench.
Extracting the trench box is likely for being a lot more tricky than putting in it owing to the movement with the earth about the trench. A sequence sling is advised for extraction, making use of one among a few techniques.
- Straight pull - actually just attach the sling towards the two extraction/lifting details and lift it out.
- Half pull - Attach to just 1 facet from the trench box, raise just as much as achievable, then switch the chain sling around into the other aspect and repeat until the ditch box is eradicated.
- Single pull - Attach only one leg of chain sling to an extraction/lifting level and raise the corner of every panel in turn, when the trench box moves freely take out the trench box utilizing the straight pull.
In short Trenches help save lives. Their use is really a legal need and will be planned for. When utilized properly and taken care of they make the task quite a bit less difficult and safer.
