The wife of a father who died as he tried to protect his business from robbers has spoken of her family's suffering since his death, as those responsible were convicted of killing him.
Shammi Atwal, 45, from Chigwell, died as the gang targeted his cash and carry, Glenn & Co, in Barking in October last year.
The six lay in wait outside the business as guard dogs were taken for a walk.
As Mr Atwal and his wife, Damanjeet Kaur, arrived at the business, the gang smashed their way in armed with an array of weapons, including sledgehammers and metal bars.
They charged at cashiers and threatened them while demanding money.
One of the gang then grabbed Mrs Kaur by the hair and threatened her with a metal rod, while another stole her bag containing £1,000 in cash.
On hearing shouts for help, Mr Atwal and his staff rushed to the main warehouse and the robbers attempted to flee through the main gate.
After a delivery driver failed to stop one of the gang with a punch, Mr Atwal pursued the robbers and managed to grabbed hold of one.
A struggled ensued, resulting in Mr Atwal falling into the road and in the path of a lorry.
Mr Atwal was tended to by his distraught wife but he was later pronounced dead at the scene.
The gang discarded a pair of gloves as they made their escape.
These contained traces of Mrs Kaur's blood and were later forensically linked to Vidmantas Gorskoves, Aurimas Diliunas and Reiniks Kivers.
Police also found CCTV showing Farhan Sheikh accompanying Edgaras Balezantis to a B&Q branch to buy the gloves, having earlier purchased a sledgehammer.
Detectives also discovered the BMW 5 series used in the robbery belonged to Sheikh and stolen number plates were used on the day of the raid.
The gang were all arrested in October and November last year.
Gorskoves, 26, of Grange Road, Plaistow; Diliunas, 27, of Rosslyn Road, Barking; Sheikh, 39, of Thornhill Gardens, Barking; Sumskas, 25 of Otley Road, Canning Town; Kivers, 28, of no fixed abode and Balezantis, 25, of Tollgate Road, East Ham, were today at the Old Bailey found guilty of manslaughter and conspiracy to commit robbery.
Following the convictions, Mrs Kaur said: "Shammi was the most loving husband and father.
"Since that Monday I don't know how to cope or live anymore.
"My life took a 360 degree turn. We have lost the children's father, my husband and it is very hard for me and the children.
"This is something we will live with for the rest of our life and I will see my kids grow up without their dad and I am finding that very hard to cope with.
"There are no words to express how we are feeling - we are just living. We miss him all the time and always will".
The gang are due to be sentenced on Friday.

Lee's Sparkle Plenty Interview with Pink Sparks
Lee's Sparkle Plenty Interview with Pink Sparks
Spotlight On: Sparkle Plenty Designs
Name: Lee Romano Sequeira
Business name: Sparkle Plenty Designs
Company website: www.sparkle-plenty.com
Company email: email@example.com
Description of your business mission:
Our specialty at Sparkle Plenty Designs is creating custom logowear for promotions, special events, spas & salons, fundraisers, staff wear, retail sales, etc. We take our customer's idea, event or logo and bring "bling" it to life in sparkling crystal or rhinestones.
I love to say we make people "sparkle" when they wear our shirts, and when you feel good on the inside, you always look good on the outside.
Sparkle Plenty's first priority is to provide premium quality crystal and rhinestone embellished products to all our customers. Our choice of high-quality garments have a flattering fit, and a unique look that's appealing, while standing the test of time and wear.
How long has Sparkle Plenty been in business?
10 years
How did you start/fund your company initially?
I actually was buying crystal tees and apparel from Sparkle Plenty Accents for my online gift, bath & body accessories boutique, GoodtoBeYou.com. I first saw them in 2004 at a beauty tradeshow in New York City.
When the owners mentioned they were parting ways and wanted to sell the business, my husband and I decided to take the plunge and acquire the company, which we renamed Sparkle Plenty Designs. Business loans helped us with our plan.
Do you have any employees or do you use freelance help? If so, can you tell us where you found your help?
Besides me and my husband Andrew
(whom we affectionately call "Captain Crystal" who handles custom design work)
we have the following on our team: Michelle handles online promotions, Jonelle assists with art and heat pressing the garments, Lorry helps us with customer contact and we have our Swarovski artists available to help us with our ideas for new products. This is a nice benefit of being a Crystallized branding partner with Swarovski crystal.
I used word of mouth and advertised on Craigslist for a couple of the positions. We also have a few independent sales reps across the U.S.
What's the one online marketing activity you feel has worked the best for your business?
Our sites are key. People love our websites, they are beautiful to look at, and I must give credit to our web designer Liz Ross of
(Liz is so talented!) She and I worked out the initial concepts for both sites
Sparkle Pleny Designs
and Liz made all of my ideas come to life - and really sparkle!
As for gaining our new custom clients, we really talk to our customers and are happy to offer ideas for their design. We even like to offer promotional tips for their business.
Are you active on any social networking websites such as Twitter, Facebook or Linkedin?
Yes, very. I love staying social with Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter, and also try to stay active in a few specialty b-to-b networking sites -- I just wish there were more hours in the day (like most of us women entrepreneurs do).
If so, how do you manage your activity on these sites? For instance, do you interact randomly, when you feel like it or do you have a strategic plan?
I log in almost daily and keep business and personal mixed. Since we "are" business and interact closely with our customers, I like to keep a casual, upbeat and friendly vibe...we are talking about fun sparkly apparel after all.
How do you manage to balance family life, personal time and business?
Sometimes it's all a blur, and I slip into my "workaholic" mode, but I really like what I do, so that's a plus.
I do get to the gym a few times a week, and I'll take a break during the day with Andrew to take our two terriers out for a walk, and enjoy some fresh air. We also have a weekly night out with a close circle of friends -- perfect to decompress, and getting out does the trick of getting me away from the laptop.
Do you have any advice for other women wanting to start their own businesses?
Do something you love, take it slowly, but act -- action is key.
Always be sure to give back. Whether it's advice, time or donations, the more you give, the more you'll get. Keep a positive attitude and realize every day is not going to go as always planned, so you just have to roll with the ups and downs. Also, take time for yourself - do things you enjoy: read, meditate, play with the dogs/kids and be sure to take time out to exercise a few times a week.

Most Helpful Guy
8 gigs memory is the sweet spot right now. But current games seem to be favoring 16 gigs as recommended, 8 gigs should be enough for the next year. A 4gb graphic card is optimal, but that depends on a lot of other things, like memory speed and the core speed. A 3.2 GHz processor, but then it depends again, if its dual or quad. More cores means better multithreading and hence are better for games. You need to have more details here, can't say anything with what you've said.10|10|0

Grilled Beef T-Bone Steak With Chilli and Maple Side.
Recipe by Debi and Johnny
Classic BBQ T Bone Steak served with a traditional onion and mushroom side. Then add a twist of maple syrup and crushed chilli's for a little extra texture....just one of those experiments that went right I guess. Hope you like it.
Top Review by cookninmt
This is the best! I absolutely love it. I didn't use exact measurements, just threw it together, but it was so amazing! I also put chili powder in it and it added a lot. Before grilling the steaks, I seasoned them with garlic powder, chili powder and then syrup and it really livened up the steaks and tasted great with the side. Thanks for this recipe!

Dish Network Chief Operating Officer Bernie Han said as bitcoin becomes a preferred way for some people to transact, the company made the decision to deliver choice and convenience to its customers. Bitcoin is still not federally regulated or backed by any central government or bank. It suffered a major setback from the collapse of the once-dominant bitcoin exchange, Mt. Gox, in February, which spurred many to protest the currency and call for it to be overseen.

By Shailagh Murray and Lori Montgomery
Washington Post Staff Writer
Monday, December 7, 2009
President Obama made a rare Sunday visit to the Capitol to urge a fractious Democratic caucus to pull together to pass landmark health-care legislation.
Obama made no mention of a government-run insurance plan, abortion or other key issues that lawmakers are attempting to resolve in closed-door meetings, including a Sunday evening gathering to address the public option. Instead, he used the 45-minute session to stress the Senate's "historic opportunity to provide stability and security for those who have insurance, affordable coverage for those who don't, and bring down the cost of health care for families, small businesses and the government," White House spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement.
Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) told reporters after the meeting that negotiators were inching toward consensus on the public option. He said he still aims to hold a final vote on the $848 billion package before the chamber adjourns for the Christmas break.
"There are still a few things we need to work out in the bill, but the issues are being narrowed as we speak," he said. "Progress is being made, and that's not just talk."
After working through the weekend, the Senate will reconvene Monday for an eighth day of debate and potentially the first controversial amendment, addressing the issue of abortion coverage. After the abortion vote, expected Monday or Tuesday, the Senate could tackle another high-profile amendment: a bipartisan bid to allow the importation of prescription drugs from Canada and other countries.
Meanwhile, 10 moderate and progressive Democrats tapped by Reid are expected to continue daily meetings aimed at reaching a compromise on the public option, along with improving small-business provisions in the bill.
One potential alternative being discussed Sunday would create a national coverage plan operated by private insurers but run by the Office of Personnel Management, which administers health coverage for federal workers. Senators participating in the talks said the OPM idea had been well received across the ideological spectrum, although details were sketchy. "I think it has potential," said Nancy-Ann DeParle, Obama's top health aide.
Meanwhile, on the issue of abortion, Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.), working with Sen. Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah), planned to offer an amendment Monday to bar federal money from being used for the procedure under the legislation. The amendment would mirror language adopted in the House on Nov. 7, over the strong opposition of abortion-rights groups. It would prohibit any public plan from covering abortion services, and would bar people who receive federal subsidies from using the money to buy plans that offer abortion coverage.
Democratic abortion opponents have not said what they will do if the amendment fails, as is expected. Nelson is the most outspoken of the group, and he has sent mixed signals in recent days. Although Nelson has often asserted that he cannot accept the current language on abortion, and at times threatened to filibuster the measure over the issue, he has also said he might be open to an alternative if it meets his underlying objective.
"I'm not going to start working against the language that I'm going to bring forward," Nelson said. "If it doesn't get passed, there are going to be people talking, but it certainly is not a lock that there's language in the middle. . . . I'm not going to negotiate against myself at this point."
Sen. Robert P. Casey Jr. (Pa.), another Democrat who opposes abortion, said that he would support Nelson's effort, but that the issue would not make or break his vote on the bill.
"We've got to get this done to demonstrate that we can get something this substantial done, even in a difficult economy and in a difficult political environment," Casey told reporters after Obama's meeting with the senators.
Senators huddled on the second floor of the Capitol late Sunday, haggling over the public option. Under the Office of Personnel Management's idea, national plans negotiated by the agency would be offered through state-based insurance exchanges that the Senate bill would create for small-business workers and people who do not have access to affordable coverage through an employer.
One negotiator is Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (I-Conn.), the only member of the Democratic caucus who has pledged to oppose legislation that includes a public option in any form. Although Lieberman said the talks were preliminary, he did not rule out supporting the OPM's framework under discussion.
"If it's private, and there's no federal government financial exposure, and the government's not creating an insurance company, that's a long way toward what I've been concerned about," he said.
Nelson, another critic of the public option, was noncommittal on the compromise efforts, although he is an active participant. "There are some ideas that make a lot more sense to me than other ideas," he said.
Another key lawmaker in the mix is Sen. Olympia J. Snowe (Maine), the only Republican who has supported Democratic reform efforts. She called the OPM's approach "a very novel and innovative idea," because the agency has experience negotiating with insurance companies. Individuals without employer coverage, along with small-business workers, would have access to the OPM-administered plans, she said.
But Snowe has other concerns about the bill, such as an increase in the Medicare payroll tax for high earners, that she conveyed to Obama in recent conversations, including during a meeting at the White House on Saturday. "There are so many conversations in numerous directions. It's hard to say right now where the consensus will evolve," she said.
Democrats said they hope Obama's address will lend fresh momentum on the eve of what could prove to be a make-or-break week. "It's very easy here to get wrapped around the axle and forget about the larger significance of what this is about," said Sen. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.). "This affects millions of people's lives. This is a big deal."

Alabama DUI Defense Attorneys
Statewide Practice in All Alabama State and Municipal Courts
Frequently Asked Questions
Below are the most frequently asked questions concerning Alabama DUI. While this is not a comprehensive list, we strive to answer the questions we hear on a regular basis. In no way are the answers provided herein applicable to every case, so we encourage you contact a DUI lawyer immersed in the subject matter for information regarding your specific circumstances. The lawyers of Polson & Polson are here to provide advice on your pending charges at this critical time.
Q: Can I go to jail if convicted of DUI?
A: YES!! Even for a first conviction, you may be sentenced to serve up to one year in jail (though there is no minimum mandatory sentence). A second conviction (within 5 years) has a range of incarceration from a mandatory minimum of 5 days up to 365 days. A third conviction in a lifetime has a minimum incarceration of 60 days up to 365 days. A fourth or subsequent DUI conviction can result in a minimum of 10 days that must be served, though an offender could be sentenced to anywhere from one year and one day to 10 years in prison.
Q: Will I lose my driver license if convicted of DUI?
A: YES!! For first conviction, you could lose your license for 90 days. This is increased to one year for a second conviction (within 5 years of first), three years for a third conviction, and five years for a fourth or subsequent DUI.
Q: Can out of state DUI convictions be used for sentence enhancement in Alabama?
A: YES!! In April of 2006 Governor Riley signed into law legislation that allows out-of-state DUI convictions to be used for sentence enhancement purposes in Alabama.
Q: Do DUI convictions still count after five years?
A: YES & NO!! DUI convictions stay on your criminal history for a lifetime. Alabama counts DUI convictions over a lifetime for sentence enhancement purposes, with the one exception being if your second DUI conviction is more than five years from your first DUI conviction, the second can be treated as a first conviction for penalty purposes; though, it does go on your record and can count against you in the future.
Q: Every lawyer knows how to handle DUI cases, right?
A: WRONG!! Would you go to your family doctor if you needed to have a brain operation? NO! You would go to a doctor that specializes in that field. The same is true for lawyers. Some lawyers practice nothing but criminal defense. Other lawyers take on personal injury cases. etc.
Q: There is no way to win a DUI case, so you might as well plead guilty, right?
A: WRONG!! In America, you are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Many people forget this cornerstone of the American Justice System. Don't assume your case is hopeless until it has been evaluated by a lawyer immersed in the subject matter of DUI defense. Look at our successful DUI case examples on this website—you might be surprised at the cases we have won.
Q: I can get a hardship driver license if my license is suspended for a DUI conviction in Alabama?
A: NO!! Alabama has no provision for hardship driver permits; though, your driving privilege may be saved through other way

Charlie Theron and Matthew McConaughey will appear for the first time on the big screen as animated characters in Kubo and the Two Strings. The actors wanted to try their hands at working on an animated film for the same reason.
EXCLUSIVE: @McConaughey and @CharlizeAfrica make their animated film debut https://t.co/uPIaMH3Pmb pic.twitter.com/6n34JPHrXA
— People Magazine (@people) January 27, 2016
Since both Matthew McConaughey and Charlize Theron are parents, they wanted to make something they could feel proud about letting their children watch. Many of the films the two have starred in aren't child appropriate.
Let's talk about the @kubothemovie cast! Who are you more excited for: Monkey (Charlize Theron) or Beetle (Matthew McConaughey)? #KuboSweeps
— Megan Calhoun (@socialmoms) January 28, 2016
When McConaughey first checked out the script for Kubo and the Two Strings, he read it to his kids as a bedtime story.
"He would read them little sections each night," the film's director, Travis Knight, says in a recent interview with People magazine.
"That was his way of bringing the story to life and connecting with his children--it essentially became a bedtime story for the McConaughey family," the director adds.
Charlize Theron loved the script, too.

"She found that this was not only something that she could show her child, but it was a beautiful story that she could be a part of," Knight says.
Charlize Theron will play the role of a sword-wielding monkey named Monkey, while Matthew McConaughey's character is a "big, brawny man-bug" named Beetle.
"Monkey and Beetle become a makeshift family for Kubo as they go on this journey, and they bond together as this family," Knight says of Theron and McConaughey's characters.

— Charlize Theron (@CharlizeAfrica) December 9, 2015
Since Matthew McConaughey has a Texas twang and Charlize Theron has a bit of a South African accent, both actors needed to work on a bit of voice modification for this project.
"They modified their natural accents accordingly," Travis Knight says.
"Not a whole lot of actors can do it," he adds. "But these are some of the best actors in the entire world, and from my perspective they seemed like they breezed through it."
In addition to Charlize Theron and Matthew McConaughey, Kubo and the Two Strings will also star Rooney Mara, Art Parkinson, Ralph Fiennes and George Takei. It is scheduled to premiere in theaters on August 19.

A cool coffee shop created by a guy who believes businesses shouldn't exploit people
My parents have found a really neat coffee shop in Brookings, South Dakota. They not only serve good coffee and food but they've created a welcoming and fun ambiance with local art on the walls, live music and interesting books. (I stumbled across D.I.Y.: Design It Yourself there and any place that introduces me to an interesting book is a good place!)
The owner Jacob Limmer is featured in this video explaining why he didn't like businesses – because he thought they exploited people – and how he's gone about creating his own fun, very successful, not exploitative business.

Very informative post. I live in Michigan and have an interest in smoking with woods from my own property. I plan to have seasoned pieces of all my good woods for smoking next year, but I really want to smoke with two of them, red oak and red maple, next week. I cut some of each into 1-2 inch thick disks and dried them in my homemade electric smoker at about 240 degF until they stopped steaming plus one additional hour. Aside from the energy cost, what are the downsides to this? The maple was branch wood from a tree cut down in December. The oak was branch wood from a branch that fell last year.
I do this all the time with maple and it will work just fine.

Is There A Thread Explaining How To Make Cake Dummies?
Decorating By ladybug614 Updated 11 Aug 2010 , 3:36am by mhcl
I'm fairly new to decorating. Wanting to practice some techniques without baking a lot of cakes. (Although my family thinks otherwise!) I was looking for an inexpensive way to make cake dummies so I can get a more realistic idea on how long some techniques take. Plus I like having pretty cakes around!!
I'm not quite sure if this is the answer you're looking for but thought I'd try to help. I purchased some cake dummies from if I remember right it was globalsugarart which were fairly inexpensive. You can cover them with plastic wrap and use them over and over to practice. HTH.

So I've been talking with this girl on POF for about 3 weeks now, and we mostly message each other every day.. So I got around to saying to her that hopefully I will be lucky enough to go on a date with you. And her response was "hopefully" I don't know if that's good or not?

It's not bad, obviously if you talk everyday she's interested. Ask her out and Be direct to so you can get a straight answer from her. 3 weeks of messaging is long, I think it's about time.10|10|0
Yeah true about the 3 weeks, I was just curious the reason why I talked so long was to make sure she was interested.

Auckland – Australia and New Zealand will host the 2017 Rugby League World Cup after their joint bid was chosen ahead of South Africa on Wednesday.
They were the only bids for the 15th World Cup. Australia and New Zealand previously hosted together in 1968 and 1977.
"The joint Australia-New Zealand bid was selected as the one with the greatest chance of success in providing more compelling games in world-class environments in front of big, passionate crowds," said Nigel Wood, chairman of the Rugby League International Federation bid committee.
"The bid from South Africa was very strong, prepared professionally, and clearly demonstrated a passion for rugby league that is growing by the day in that country."
The World Cup in November, hosted by England and Wales, was a huge success, with stadium record crowds in England, France and Ireland, capped by a world-record test crowd of more than 74,000 for the final at Old Trafford, where Australia beat New Zealand 34-2. Sapa-AP

The feedback from last weeks Be a Better Business SAP Business One Seminar has been fantastic. We were extremely pleased with how the day went!
Over 15o people attended the full day Seminar in Croke Park, which aside from the interesting and insightful content, was a strong talking point during and post event.
Topics which proved to be of particular interest were namely SAP Business One 8.82, Intelligent Ecommerce and Intelligent Production. The demonstration booths were a great success; Dawn Parker, Our Technical Director, and Derek Smith, one of our SAP Business One Consultants, were inundated at the 8.82 booth throughout the day!
Here are some of the things our customers and attendees have been saying since last week…
"On behalf of the owners Cliff & Margaret, and on my own behalf, I would like to thank you and all at IIS for the courtesy extended to us, and the very informative seminar yesterday. Although we were not present for the afternoon presentations, we got more than we expected from the day and in that respect could you thank Dawn and in particular Paul."

Martin Barrett, IT Manager, Promed

We're creating a listing of lesson plans – a unique content type. In our taxonomy (on paper), each lesson plan can have one or more US core standards associated with it.
An example might be a math lesson plan that corresponds to two standards: 1.4.2: Multidigit Multiplication and 1.4.3: Carrying. Each lesson is planned to have other metadata (tags, etc) as well.
There are about 1,800 terms in the Core Standards table (external, currently), and each row in the table has several columns.

Americans! Race a Lambo for $17.5k!
We're known as champions of consumer advice here on Top Gear. No, really, we are. And we've got a little nugget for all you Americans that live in the United States of Americans.
Lamborghini has just announced the cost of competing in this year's brand-new Super Trofeo race series in America, and it costs just $17,500 per driver.
So, for around $300 more than a base-spec Chevrolet Cruze, you can partner another driver who has squandered the 'sensible car fund' and race a 570bhp, V10-engined racing Lamborghini Gallardo at some rather smashing circuits.
As you know, the Super Trofeo has been gunning for some time now, but it's the first time the Lambos have hopped across the pond to race in the States. The series begins on July 5th at the American Le Mans North East GP at Lime Rock Park, then onto the Kansas Speedway, the Calabogie Motorsports Park in Canada, Virginia International Speedway and the Auto Club Speedway in California.
The best drivers from the American Super Trofeo series will then race against the best from Europe and Asia in a Lamborghini Battle Royale in Vallelunga, Rome, in November.
For your money, you get 120 minutes of practice, a 40 minute qualifying session, and two 50-minute races, which is over four hours of track time per weekend. That's $17,500 per driver, for 20 hours in a racing Lamborghini, versus quite a few thousand more hours if you bought the Cruze. But your hours in the Cruze won't be filled with carbon fibre and oversteer and noise and horsepower and clapping fans and possible podiums. They will be filled with monotone, crushingly disappointing runs to the supermarket, with only the hammers-blow of regret that you didn't buy a seat in a Gallardo, keeping you company. That's a lot of time to be spent in angst.
The fee - $35k per car - includes the four-wheel-drive LP570-4, full service package, car transportation, a Pirelli tyre package, driver race suits, trackside hospitality and, erm, parking. Though if you've pilfered from the 'sensible car fund', you may only need a bus pass and a good excuse to your partner.

Dear T.J.,Recently I have been making poor contact with not only my irons, but my driver too. I don't feel like I am turning through the ball and releasing. I feel like I am hanging back after impact. I am also hitting a lot of fat shots. Am I analyzing this right? If so, what can I do?Frank, Baltimore, Md. I know you're not sick, Frank, but your swing is a bit under the weather so we'll need to go to the hospital to find a solution.
Studies conducted at Centinela Hospital Medical Center in Inglewood, Calif., prove that the move that starts the downswing is a transfer of pressure into the front hip. Researchers placed electrodes on Tour players while they swung and documented that there is a hip switch from the back hip to the front hip at the beginning of the downswing, a switch which reconfigures your power centers and keeps you over the ball at impact. Here's a drill to help you with this prime-time move. Step on It, Frank Place a 9-iron on the ground so the face is under your front foot and the shaft is parallel with the target line. Hover the toes of your front foot above the clubhead while keeping your heel down then swing to the top. To start the downswing step on the clubface by switching pressure to your front hip just as you do when you walk. Make this your first move down. If you do it correctly then stepping on the clubface will make the shaft of the club pop up before your hands are shoulder high. Use this drill and you'll know exactly when you make the switch -- this is important because most golfers are late with the switch.
Once you've stepped forward, then rotate your hips and chest and hit it. Tee the ball, use a 7-iron and swing easy at first.
The key difference here is the concept: Don't think weight shift, think hip switch. It may sound like a subtle difference but your brain is much better at the concept of "walking" than it is at "shifting."
the top of the swing I'm in my right hip but have not swayed off the
ball. I'm ready to "walk to my left side." Note that the toes of my
front foot hover over the face of the club laying on the ground, but my
heel is anchored just as it is when I take a step.
Starting down I shift the pressure to my left hip and up pops the clubshaft.

Well, since my last post, various things happened on my town.
First, the exit of Rowan. Yes, he did move away, and the the new villager is the jock penguin Roald. He's cool, but i still don't believe he's a jock. Filbert also tried to move away, but he didn't.
My foe, Bella, is sick. and i'm not giving medicine to her. But i must think better, since sick villagers don't move away.
On the Fishing Tourney(28th February), the winner was Rowan himself, with a 78.8 inch Tuna, two days before he moved.
The Flea Markett(6th March)? Well, it don't changed anything on anyone's houses. so there aren't news on this part.
That's all. And don't forget, Wild World players, saturday is the La-Di-Day!
That's all.

Young Palestinian Arrested after two Knife Attacks on Israelis
The Israeli police Saturday arrested a young Palestinian accused of injuring two Israelis in the Jewish settlement area of Neve Yaacov in the annexed eastern sector of Jerusalem, a police source said.
The 16-year-old, who was recognized by one of the two victims said he had carried out the attacks to "avenge the death of someone dear to him" killed by Israeli soldiers and to protest at "Israeli designs on the Mosque compound," according to investigators.
The suspect, whose identity was not given, comes from the Shoafat refugee camp in east Jerusalem.
Last Saturday, a 60-year-old man suffered face wounds from a knife attack by a Palestinian who then fled.
A day earlier, a 50-year-old Israeli woman was seriously injured with several knife wounds in her back when she was in a public call box in the same area -- JERUSALEM (AFP)

LARAMIE, Wyo. -
Following are periodic highlights of selected University of Wyoming student-athletes, detailing recent performances and their contributions to their respective UW teams.
Check out these reports on Cowgirl basketball player Hanna Zavecz and Cowboy basketball player Alex Dunn.
Hanna Zavecz, F, 6-0, Fr., Melbourne, Australia (Australian Inst. of Sport)
Freshman Hanna Zavecz
Hanna Zavecz, a freshman from the Australian Institute of Sport in Melbourne, Australia, showed just what she could contribute to the Cowgirl Basketball team last Sunday against the University of Northern Iowa. Even though she has had a solid season up until now, the freshman forward had a breakout game against the Lady Panthers when she poured in 25 points, six boards, two blocks, and two assists. Her 25 points were a career high. Zavecz has led the Cowgirls in scoring twice this year, once in rebounds and assists, and all games in blocked shots. Currently, she is averaging 12 points a game, 5.5 rebounds, 2.0 steals, and 1.75 blocked shots. She is doing all of this in 29.50 minutes per game. The Cowgirls are grateful to have the Awesome Aussie on the team this winter and hope it turns into a postseason run in March. The Cowgirls have a home game against the Lady Buffs of Colorado on Wednesday and then host Texas Pan-American on Monday the sixth of December.
Alex Dunn, F/C, 7-0, 240, Sr., 3L, Sioux Rapids, Iowa (Sioux Central)
Senior Alex Dunn
Alex Dunn, a senior from Sioux Central High School in Sioux City, Iowa, has helped lead the Wyoming Cowboy Basketball team to a 3-1 start early on this season. Even though the senior center struggled against Arizona early this week, his numbers are still impressive. Against the University of Texas at Arlington last weekend, Dunn had 11 points while pulling down nine boards in the 86-79 Cowboy win. Dunn has led the Cowboys in rebounding every game this season except the Arizona game, including a season high 15 against Princeton. Dunn is currently second on the team in field goals made with 15, even though he only attempts a little less than eight per game. He is also currently third on the team averaging 9.8 points per game and he is first on the team also averaging the same amount of rebounds (9.8) per game with 39 for the year. By averaging that many rebounds, Dunn currently sits third in the Mountain West Conference in rebounds per game. Dunn hopes to keep putting up solid numbers for the Cowboys the rest of the season as he and the rest of his teammates travel north to revive the rivalry between UW and Montana State this weekend in Billings.

Pavelec, Jets blank CanadiensDec 23, 2011 - 6:35 AM
Blake Wheeler scored twice and added an assist while Tanner Glass and Tim Stapleton also scored for the Jets, who have alternated wins and losses in their past six games.
"We focused a little more and executed our game a little better," said Glass. "I don't think, you know there's no big secret we just executed a little better than we did in past nights and it makes for a little easier game."
Carey Price was tagged for all four goals on 34 shots for the Canadiens, who have dropped their past five games, including the past four under new head coach Randy Cunneyworth.
"I think it's about sticking together, I think when we are trying to figure out, the pieces the puzzle, everybody has to come together, and I think it's a good place to start right here," said Cunneyworth.
The Jets got the only goal they needed 3:18 into the first period on the power play as Dustin Byfuglien sent a pass from the right circle to the left with Wheeler one-timing it home.
Just under 10 minutes later, it was a 2-0 game as Nik Antropov sent a pass from the low-left side to the slot and Glass snapped it home for his fourth goal of the year.
The Jets made it a 3-0 game just 39 seconds into the second as Wheeler gained the zone and flung home a shot from the right circle.
Pavelec stopped six shots in the first period and 16 in the second.
Stapleton scored with 2:24 to play in the game and Pavelec needed to make just five stops in the third to cap the shutout.
Game Notes
Pavelec has nine shutouts in his career...Winnipeg hosts the Penguins on Friday...Montreal continues its six-game road trip in Ottawa on Tuesday...These teams faced off on October 9, with Montreal taking a 5-1 victory over the Jets in Winnipeg to spoil the Jets' first game in their new city...Winnipeg went 1-for-2 on the power play while Montreal was 0-for-5.

Much ado about Shakespeare.
Sat 7:30PM
Sun 2:00PM
Wed 7:30PM
Fri 7:30PM
By Hector Berlioz
Kick off Seattle's citywide Shakespeare celebration with an all-new one-of-a-kind theatrical hybrid! Overheard confessions, unfortunate reactions, tender reconciliations, and plenty of witty banter glide on a warm breeze of masterful orchestration. In this novel adaptation of Shakespeare's lively comedy Much Ado About Nothing, Berlioz's exuberant opera score is paired with English text lifted directly from the Bard himself. The result: a crossover cultural event sure to have the whole town talking.
"The creative combination of Seattle Symphony Orchestra Maestro Ludovic Morlot and ACT Theatre Artistic Director John Langs will bring a freshness to Berlioz's unique opera." —Aidan Lang, Seattle Opera General Director
"It's a beautiful story in an epic setting at a time when the world needs a bittersweet romance and joy." —John Langs, ACT Theatre Artistic Director
In English with English subtitles | at McCaw Hall Performance Time: Approximately 2 hours, 30 minutes with 1 intermission
ACT IReturning victorious from battle, the forces of Don Pedro of Sicily visit the estate of Leonato, his daughter Hero, and her cousin Beatrice. Hero loves Claudio, one of Don Pedro's soldiers; Beatrice hates all men, but especially Benedict, Claudio's misogynistic best friend and another of Don Pedro's soldiers. Hero is overjoyed by Claudio's return, while Beatrice and Benedict immediately resume their 'merry war of words.'
A wedding is arranged between Claudio and Hero, and Claudio suggests that Benedict, too, should get married. But Benedict tells his friends he'd rather die. Don Pedro and Claudio conspire to make Benedict fall in love; arranging a situation in which Benedict can eavesdrop on them, they discuss with Leonato how sad it is that Beatrice loves Benedict, the woman-hater. Benedict, amazed by what he has overheard, vows he will return Beatrice's love.
Hero and her friend Ursula, meanwhile, play the same trick on Beatrice. On the eve of her wedding to Claudio, Hero and Ursula muse about the nature of love.
ACT IIAt the wedding of Hero and Claudio, all are happy (and tipsy) except Beatrice, who is confused by her feelings about Benedict. She remembers how she had nightmares about him coming to harm when he was away at war, and admits to herself that she loves him.
Benedict and Beatrice are arguing about their feelings, and their future, when the others interrupt them. Claudio and Hero reveal love poems that Beatrice and Benedict have written about each other, and in the end both admit their love and agree to a truce—until tomorrow.

Read on about this fantastic new initiative from a group of Auckland bloggers!
Auckland's newest clothing exchange event. With summer on the way we thought there's no time like the present to start our own version of the popular clothing swaps popping up across the globe and now, New Zealand.
Swap Away is due to pop it's cherry on the 6th of December at the Leys Institute Hall in Ponsonby, 20 St Mary's Rd, from 12.15 – 3.30. It will basically be a whole lot of cupcake eating, new(ish) clothes grabbing fun, we hope everyone will walk away feeling a little happier and a little more whole. With a whole lot of new clothes and a whole lot of happiness watching their unwanted clothes bring shrieks of glee to others.
It's $10 to attend, this includes a pre-day pack and shopping bag in the post, the hall hirage and other bits and pieces for the day. This is a non-profit event my friends, with only 45 places to spare.
Hope to see you all there! Your more than welcome to join our mailing list for more pre-event information.
