Swiss Experts Invited to West Bank to Conduct New Yasser Arafat Autopsy
Announcement of testing for possible poisoning follows weeks of zigzagging on the autopsy issue by officials in the Palestinian Authority.
Swiss experts have been invited to the West Bank to test Yasser Arafat's remains for possible poisoning, the chief investigator looking into the 2004 death of the Palestinian leader said on Wednesday.
The announcement followed weeks of zigzagging on the autopsy issue by officials in the Palestinian Authority, the self-rule government that Arafat established. Their conflicting positions and hesitation triggered speculation they were trying to quietly kill the investigation.
Last month, Switzerland's Institute of Radiation Physics said it had detected elevated levels of radioactive polonium-210 on stains on Arafat's clothing, reviving longstanding rumors in the Arab world that the Palestinian leader was poisoned.
However, the lab said the findings were inconclusive and that only exhuming Arafat's remains could bring possible clarity. Lab officials also said polonium decays quickly and that an autopsy would need to be done within a few months at most. They also said they needed a formal invitation to proceed with testing.
The Arab satellite TV station Al Jazeera first published the findings of the Swiss lab. The station had approached the lab on behalf of Arafat's widow, Suha, who had demanded that her husband's remains be examined and provided the lab with his clothing. She also asked the French government in a lawsuit to investigate her husband's death. No decision has been made on the suit.
Arafat died in a French military hospital on November 11, 2004, a month after falling ill at his headquarters in the West Bank city of Ramallah, where he spent the last three years of his life under Israeli siege.
French doctors have said he died of a massive stroke and suffered from a blood condition known as disseminated intravascular coagulation. The records were inconclusive about what brought about the condition, which has numerous possible causes.
The Palestinians, who from the start claimed Arafat was killed, launched an investigation that went nowhere and was dormant for years until last month's developments.
Tawfik Tirawi, the chief Palestinian official investigating Arafat's death said yesterday that the Palestinians asked the Swiss lab for help.
"We have contacted the Swiss lab to come to Palestine to do the needed testing of the remains, the clothes and of any other belongings," said Tirawi.
A spokesman for the Swiss institute could not immediately be reached for comment yesterday.
Several senior Palestinian officials, including Arafat nephew Nasser al-Kidwa, have claimed Arafat was poisoned by Israel, without presenting evidence. Israel has vehemently denied any involvement.
Palestinian officials have said they want an international probe that has the authority to summon Israeli officials. The PA also asked the Arab League to help pursue an international investigation. The organization has said it would seek a UN investigation and would decide on the details in September.

General Comments
I got my Sony RDR-VX410 as a way to transfer my vhs collect onto dvd which it is more than capable of doing. The recording is excellent. Picture quality is crisp even on the lower settings. I record a lot of things from tv shows to movies to sports and it has not let me down i think it never will. One button is all you need to press to transfer from vhs to dvd or from dvd to vhs, which is easily located on the front panel. It not only works well but has a nice look to it so should appeal to many. Very stylish! I would not hesitate in telling anybody to buy it, Also it is reasonably priced.

How do i know what wheels will fit - are they all the same (4 bolt ones for example).
Want some alloys for the pug van and have seen some decent ones form a pug 406 - am i safe to assume they will fit with no adaptors or fettling?
Chat Forum
Alloy wheels for cars - fitting
How do i know what wheels will fit - are they all the same (4 bolt ones for example).
The answer to that is no
You will never know if they fit unless you know the diameter of the alloys and what the wheels or your van are.
how do i find that out? van is not here btw
You will need to check on google. Just type in your van and state that you need to know the wheel spacing diameter.
Then that should tell you.
That is only half the battle then, you will then need to find alloys which fit that diameter which can be an arse unless you go to a company called wheelbas where they take your van details and drill the holes especially
4x108 et15
does this mean:
4 stud
108?? - what is that an indicator of?
No, it all depends on the wheel pcd and offset so as above you need to check.
The term PCD stands for (pitch circle diameter) and is the diameter of a circle drawn through the centre of your wheels bolt holes. PCD is measured in millimetres and also indicates the number of studs or bolts the wheel will have.
One of the most common fitment has 4 studs and a PCD of 100mm, hence the fitment 4x100. Check the fitment guide above to check the fitment of your car, if you are unsure please check with vehicle and wheel manufacturer before purchase and subsequent fitment.
Every car requires a unique offset. This is where the outside of the wheel needs to be in relation to the bodyline of the vehicle, realistically you can go 5-7mm outside these recommendations, but always check with vehicle and wheel manufacturer' if you are unsure, as there are often other factors that need to be considered.
108 is the distance between or circumference between the holes- this bit is CRUCIAL and must be the same. Offset can vary though. For instance I had an Aygo that had an offset range of 35-42 so you could wander within that range.
I found 4 front MR2 alloys, used 4x5mm spacers and 16 bolts and hey presto I had MR2 alloys on an Aygo- mucho better than aftermarket rims!
Another area that you will need to consider- the rim(?) width - i.e 6.5J, 7J.
You will also need to consider tyre height remember:
I'm considering a 2.5T Forester at the moment and one I found has some nasty Wanli tyres chucked on by the dealer that have a waaaaay too narrow sidewall height - they look diddy in the wheel arches. Keep posting/asking- it'll make sense very soon!!
All the 4 bolt Peugeot wheels are the same PCD, (the spacing for the holes in the middle). As long as you;re staying the same size of wheel, ie 14" then you'll be fine.
they are stock 14" steel rims - can i not have 16" alloys with low pro tyres?
RR- look up Pug OEM alloys and using the tyre save calculator- need to stick to the heights for various reasons, silliness and catching/rub on arches when going over bumps etc- I don't see why you can't have 16" OEM pug alloys. These look great:
sure they will fit??
Ask him for the PCD on them. Be prepared to let them go but browse/keep alookout. I waited weeks for the right MR2 alloys to come up on fleabay and they are currently in the boot of the Pug306 in my garden
Ps aftermarket alloys look awful/cheap on any car unless you go into stratoferric pricing aftermarkets IMO.
PCD must be 100% corret (unless you use wobble bolts, but you dont want to do that)
offset you want to be pretty close
if going for a larger rim, you want a lower tire to keep radius close, but so long as it's not miles out, you'll be fine (wheel size can vary depending on the factory spec of the car so no issues changing)
generally wheels for a given manufacturer are interchangeable assuming the cars are of a similar generation and same layout

RIO DE JANEIRO, Nov 27 (Reuters) - Brazilian steelmaker Usinas Siderúrgicas of Minas Gerais SA said on Thursday its board approved raising up to 1 billion reais ($396 million) to fund its 2015 investment plan.
Usiminas, as the company is known, said in a securities filing the move had been approved by a majority vote on the board with just one member voting against.

text: Manny Parra and Jason Hammel, two pitchers who certainly fit the definition of "sleeper" in NL-only leagues, squared off Saturday and threw four effective innings each. But just one of them really piqued my interest. Parra's stats are historically significant. No, I don't mean that I'm classifying his 6.36 ERA and 1.83 WHIP last year as historically bad, though they certainly fit that phrase. But part of the reason the Brewers' southpaw has been unable to take the next step in his development despite some good scouting reports is the fact that his career .349 batting average on balls in play (BABIP) is the highest of any major league pitcher with more than 300 career innings, since 1900, according to FanGraphs. That's not a typo. As a ground ball pitcher, his BABIP is generally going to be higher, but Parra's is historically high, and it has helped drive his numbers in the wrong direction. Even if his BABIP went back to 2008's .337 mark instead of the .365 from last year (Alcides Escobar at short for a full season might be able to facilitate that), that would at least be a start. But it certainly wouldn't solve all of Parra's problems.

Meaty, spicy, cheesy, gooey…yummy! Enchiladas are one of the easiest and most delicious Mexican dishes to make. And there is so much variety in what you can do to the dish. Casseroles are great for families, entertaining, or for an easy and quick dinner. If you aren't a fan of cilantro you can certainly leave it out. I don't mind cilantro but too much is too much. So you can certainly adjust it to taste. Serve these enchiladas with rice & beans to make a complete dish.
Delicious Rating: Any home cook can whip these up. They are extremely delicious! However, I am a sucker for anything with cheese so maybe I am being a bit bias here. All the flavors seem to meld perfectly. The use of green tomatillos adds such a depth in a sauce that the usual red tomato does not give. You can use an already cooked rotisserie chicken to save time as well. I highly recommend this easy recipe and will make them again myself. Please let me know what you think of them or if you made any improvements or adjustments.
In the recipe I say that you can use a rotisserie chicken if you are short on time. It is up to you. Sometimes I will cook the chicken the day before and shred it and use it the next day for this enchilada recipe.
Fill the whole pan with the rolled enchiladas, don't leave huge gaping holes in-between or in the corners. Use half the tortilla if you need to fill it up.
Buen Provecho!
Flavor is great, but, PLEASE, DO NOT use flour tortillas! They are a TexMex invention! Mexican enchiladas are always made w/corn tortillas! Flour tortillas get gummy and gross when baked in a sauce….yuck!

The recent election to lead the National Organization for Women featured a close presidential race with two very different candidates, causing a furor among older feminists, but generating nothing more than a bored yawn from their daughters. Yet it's still important that young women consider feminist issues as they map out their futures.
Jessica Valenti, executive editor of the popular blog Feministing.com and author of "Full Frontal Feminism," touts funny, in- your-face activism that makes it cool to care about this kind of stuff. "I think young women are feminists," Valenti explained to Salon's Rebecca Traister. "They either don't have the language for it or are afraid to use the word."
So true. A CBS poll conducted on the effects of the women's movement proved that the feminist label was still an uncomfortable fit for many. When asked in 2005 if they considered themselves to be a feminist, only 24 percent of those polled said "Yes." However, when the question was preceded by a definition of feminism as "someone who believes in social, political and economic equality of the sexes," that number shot up to 65 percent of respondents.
So even if many women still resist the label of "feminist," they often think in those terms. Yvette Upton is director of the Women's Resource Center at Georgia Tech, a bastion of bright women who major in things like aerospace engineering or industrial chemistry. Although "feminist" isn't a highly popular identity on the Tech campus, her center sees impressive attendance for events focused on career networking and issues of safety.
However, it's in the quiet conversations she has with older graduate students and returning alumni that feminist concerns often crop up. "They come in here wanting to talk about their struggle to get noticed and promoted at work, the difficulty of finding that work/life balance," she tells me. That makes sense. Issues that seemed moot in the college classroom come into sharp relief in the real world, where equality in both work and relationships happens only when there is conviction, dialogue and lots of effort.
Thinking and learning about feminist issues changes form with each new generation. Yet one thing remains constant: It prepares young women for a future as bright and promising as they are.
What woman today wouldn't believe in "social, political and economic equality of the sexes"? The reason so many women are "afraid to use the word," as Valenti put it, is that the feminist label, sadly, is no longer just about equality. If it were, I would be the first to describe myself as a feminist. But until feminist leaders welcome equality for and the participation of women of all ideologies and belief systems, the feminist label will rightly be viewed with a degree of discomfort.
No matter how much Andrea wants to present the rosy-hued version of feminism, the messages and policies of every mainstream feminist organization such as NOW exclude the 76 percent of women who view themselves as politically moderate or conservative, particularly those with strong faith beliefs. A recent Gallup Poll found that just 23 percent of women describe themselves as "liberal," and yet those are the only women who are welcomed into the current NOW fold.
In the last election, women watching how NOW dismissed Gov. Sarah Palin -- the poster child for social, political and economic equality of the sexes -- received clear confirmation that equality is no longer what current feminist organizations are about. Instead, they have added socially liberal priorities that stray far afield from equality and that many women view as damaging to themselves, their families and, frankly, to their husbands and sons. For example, NOW recently called on President Obama to withdraw the Defense of Marriage Act -- a law that millions of women view as vital for the protection of women and the nuclear family.
During the 2008 election, a NOW spokesperson depicted Palin as "more a conservative man than she is a woman on women's issues." As the Independent Women's Forum's Carrie Lukas responded at the time, "Does NOW really think that a woman somehow loses her identity as a woman if she holds conservative beliefs?" The IWF's Allison Kasic added, "I only wish that (NOW) would also recognize that it is inappropriate to try to demonize women who hold conservative views as betraying their sex."
So do I. The feminist label will only be viable for everyone once the largest feminist organizations are willing to forgo the liberal-only agenda and embrace all the ideological diversity that women have to offer.

Lansford man guilty of drug-related charges
Following a trial in Schuylkill County court a jury Friday afternoon found a Lansford man guilty of the sale of illegal drugs in Tamaqua last summer.
Roland Martin Horsford, 30, of 30 1/2 E. Abbott St., Lansford, was found guilty of seven drug related charges, including two counts each of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance, delivery of a controlled substance and one count of criminal use of a cell phone.
Horsford was also found guilty of driving while his operating privileges were suspended. Judge John E. Domalakes deferred sentenced to Feb. 3 and released him on the same bail.
On the witness stand, he denied he made the delivery to the confidential informant but admitted he was in the vehicle from which the delivery was made.
In connection with the Tamaqua Police Drug Task Force, a 33-year-old confidential informant (CI) testified he made purchases of cocaine from Horsford on Aug. 28 and Sept. 9. He said he spoke to the defendant by cell phone and made arrangements for the buy. On the first occasion Horsford was behind the wheel of a pickup truck and stopped in the area of Spruce Street when cocaine was delivered for $50, The second time he was a passenger in the truck and the cocaine was delivered inside a DVD case.
Sgt. Richard Weaver, head of the Tamaqua Borough Police Drug Task Force, testified on how he prepared the CI to make the buy and gave him the money and how he and Patrolman Anthony Stanelli parked themselves in the area and observed the two drug buys. Stanelli had a video camera and taped the transaction which showed the CI approach the vehicle, lean in and make an exchange.
The video camera could not capture the occupants of the vehicle but the police observed two people, a man and a woman. They also testified that the male was the driver the first time and a passenger the second time and after the first buy, followed and saw him.
The defendant denied making any sale blaming it on the woman who is reported to have left the area but the CI said the drugs were handed to him by the defendant.

Better Sound Through DSP?
NHT says that its first DSP-based system will consist of small satellite speakers, a unique powered subwoofer, and an outboard electronic component housing a DSP processor and class-D amplifiers. The company notes, "The system is designed as a platform for driver correction, digital crossover designs, and overall phase correction, representing an open platform that will allow further software upgrades in the form of DSP-based features as they become available."
According to NHT, the satellite speakers in the system will sport a 5.25" woofer and 1" tweeter and will be sold separately so that a variety of multichannel systems can be assembled. The system's compact subwoofer features two opposed 10" active drivers powered by a 400W class-D amplifier.
In order to simplify system placement, the subwoofer will incorporate both wireless (digital 2.4GHz transmission) and wired inputs. NHT claims the wireless transmitter allows two-channel wireless transmission for either stereo bass or multiple home theater subwoofers.
The heart of the system is described as a DSP processor/amp component, containing four class-D amplifiers that will provide bi-amplification of the stereo channels. Driver frequency response and equalization, phase response correction, and linear-phase crossover will be accomplished via proprietary, low-latency digital processing.
NHT's Jack Hidley says low-frequency room correction is based on DEQX technology and notes that the system also has fully integrated digital crossovers adjustable for up to 300dB/octave slopes. He adds that driver frequency and phase response corrections and the "linear phase" crossover are accomplished with low-latency digital processing. Hidley notes that "boundary controls" will appear on the front panel so that the frequency response of the system can be "easily optimized" based on room position. USB and microphone inputs on the DSP processor are intended to provide advanced users and installers direct access to the DSP's room correction software.
According to NHT's Chris Byrne, "Loudspeaker drivers have come as far as any mechanical technology can take them. After all the refinements and improvements of the past 60 years, DSP presents a path for correcting system behavior that will allow us to meet consumer demands for higher performance, smaller systems that are flexible in placement considerations and ultimately lead to significantly enhanced room correction."
NHT's DSP system should be available in the summer of 2004.

|"Ron Hylton" <firstname.lastname@example.com>
|Fri, 20 Aug 2004 00:18:58 -0700
Thanks to all who responded to my prior post about transitioning from 1/4 EHS to Phillystran. The most popular response was to use a 502 insulator, but folks also used a shackle or simply interlocked the thimbles. My next question is this: Looking at the Phillystran Technical Bulletin 105-4/96, it shows the use of 2 shackles when going from the "tower plate" to the thimble for the Phillystran. The drawing shows the bolt portion of the shackle going through the tower plate (like a torque arm or the top of a flat-top 45G section) and the bolt portion of the other shackle going through the thimble. Thus the "U" shapes of both shackles are interlocked. Why is this so? Wouldn't one shackle be sufficient? Thanks, Ron AD7L Hillsboro, Oregon _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomputer.com for "Self Supporting Towers", "Wireless Weather Stations", and lot's more.

Can the Miami Heat repeat as NBA champions in 2012-13? NBA executives certainly think so. The NBA released the results of its annual general manager poll, and 70% of GMs think LeBron James and the Heat will win it all this season.
96.7% of GMs think the Heat will win the Eastern Conference and appear in their third straight NBA Finals. That number would have been higher, but GMs are not permitted to vote for their own team, so Heat president Pat Riley could not pick Miami and make it unanimous.
There is little reason to think Miami cannot win the East barring injury. Chicago will be without PG Derrick Rose, recovering from an ACL injury. The Boston Celtics, who took the Heat to 7 games in the 2012 Eastern Conference Finals, are a year older and without sharpshooter Ray Allen, who signed with the Heat this summer.
23% of GMs think the Los Angeles Lakers can take the Heat in the Finals, while the remaining 7% picked the Oklahoma City Thunder to win it all. The Thunder fell to the Heat in the 2012 NBA Finals, but have one of the best cores in the league with reigning scoring champion Kevin Durant flanked by Russell Westbrook and James Harden.
The Lakers revamped their starting lineup this summer, adding C Dwight Howard and PG Steve Nash. But Nash is pushing 40, while Howard is coming off a back injury.
LeBron James is also the favorite to win the league MVP, which would be his fourth. 67% of GMs picked James, with 30% picking Durant and 3% picking Carmelo Anthony of the New York Knicks.
James was also the most popular answer to the question "If you were starting a franchise today and could sign any player in the NBA, who would it be?" LeBron got 80% of the vote, with Durant a distant second at 17% (Howard got 3%). James was also tabbed the best small forward in the league ahead of Durant.
Dwyane Wade was a popular choice for best shooting guard, but the Lakers' Kobe Bryant won that category by a margin of 67% to 23%. No one picked Chris Bosh as the best center in the league, proving once again that he is the least respected member of Miami's Big Three. We're sure his pretty championship ring will ease the pain of losing that popularity contest to Dwight Howard.
Ray Allen got two kudos of his own. GMs named him the best pure shooter in the game, as well as the best at "moving without the ball." James was also named "most athletic," "the best finisher," and "the most dangerous in the open floor."
The Heat open the 2012-13 season on October 30 against the Boston Celtics at the American Airlines Arena.

READ full country note (PDF)
Growth is projected to strengthen as higher foreign demand and improved competitiveness boost exports. Domestic demand will be held back by slow income growth, but brightening employment prospects and consumer confidence, together with low interest rates, will support consumption and residential investment. Inflation will pick up gradually, as spare capacity shrinks.
The Competitiveness Pact signed by the social partners in mid-2016 is improving cost-competitiveness, which had deteriorated in recent years. The pact is restraining household income growth, but this is partly offset by tax cuts. The government has reformed unemployment insurance to enhance work incentives, but employment needs to be boosted to foster inclusive growth.
Globalisation has propelled productivity gains and improvements in living standards for decades. The extensive social safety net and high investment in skills have helped workers to adapt to changes induced by global developments. Continued cost-competitiveness, sustained investment in education and R&D are the keys to reaping the benefits of globalisation.

Picture the Harris Center for the Arts stage filled with 50 fiddlers backed by piano, drums, cellos, guitars, harps and even a harmonica, projecting a sound lively as a dance band, as majestic as a symphony orchestra. Front this merry group of music-makers with Scottish master fiddler Alasdair Fraser — whose humor, passion and charismatic playing set the tone — and you'll have a rough idea what it's like to attend a concert with The San Francisco Scottish Fiddlers.
It's an evening packed with tunes, songs, and dances. This group has been known to create such a two-way sense of fun and joy between musicians and audience that people spontaneously get out of their seats and dance in the aisles whether or not they know the steps to the jigs and reels pouring forth from the stage.
Founded in 1986 by Fraser and friends, the group has grown to more than 200 members from all over Northern California, the United States and beyond. Varying widely in age and backgrounds, the fiddlers are drawn together by their love of Celtic traditional music. Prized in the group is the ability to play by ear, to feel the music deep in one's soul and be enough in the moment to follow spontaneous changes of direction during performances.
Many members know hundreds of tunes by heart and love nothing better than to get together and play. They can be heard individually and in small groups throughout the year at contra dances, pub sessions and Scottish festivals. The large group (sometimes more than 100) gets together annually for performances which range from a spring concert series in the San Francisco Bay Area, tours of Northern California (1995) and Alaska (1999) to big concerts in impressive settings such as Anchorage's Atwood Hall (1999) and the Lake Tahoe Summer Music Festival (2004).
Fraser, musical director of the group, ranks among the finest interpreters of Scotland's music; his playing has earned worldwide critical acclaim. He maintains a busy performing schedule with musicians such as cellist Natalie Haas, guitarist Tony McManus and pianists Paul Machlis and Muriel Johnstone. He is the director of the Valley of the Moon Scottish Fiddling School in California, where he teaches every summer, and has been artist-in-residence at the prestigious Celtic Connections Festival in Glasgow for the past several years. His music is widely available on CD, and can also be heard on movie soundtracks from "Titanic," "The Last of the Mohicans," "Wyatt Earp," "Spitfire Grill" and "Treasure Planet."
Alasdair Fraser and the San Francisco Scottish Fiddlers will perform at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 16. Tickets are priced at $19 to $29 with premium seats available for $39; students/children 12 and younger pay $12. Tickets are available online at harriscenter.net or from Harris Center ticket office at (916) 608-6888 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and two hours before show time. Parking is included in the price of the ticket. Harris Center is located on the west side of Folsom Lake College campus in Folsom, facing East Bidwell Street.

Marketing does not have to be mysterious, overly costly, or complex. I wanted to share this example with you that was inspired by a meeting I had with an accounting firm on the Gold Coast. It is a fantastic example of thinking outside the box to achieve the result you want.
Some five years ago, this accounting business was operating from a small home office. The premises was situated on a busy suburban road right next to three schools. You can imagine the volume of traffic that would pass by each day. Naturally, the firm owner wanted to advertise his business by displaying a sign out the front of the premises. This is where the problems started.
Submitting the paperwork for the right clearance from local authorities resulted in a bureaucratic nightmare that would cost more than $20,000 just to put a small sign out the front of his business if he went ahead. So what did he do?
Well, the premises had a driveway out the front and parked in it was a big bold black pick-up truck. So, he proceeded to put signage all over it! He then repositioned it in the driveway for all to see!
Now I know this might seem completely obvious and common sense, yet too often we focus on the barrier in front of us rather than looking for ways around it. The result in this case was a sign bigger than anything he was ever planning to put up in the first place, no bureaucracy, and a mobile billboard!
So let me ask you…what challenges or barriers are you facing in your business right now that might just need a little radical thinking? What are the sources of frustration for you right now and what could you do differently to achieve the outcomes you want?
Build massive momentum!

Ubuntu vs. Kubuntu
Despite the popularity of lightweight desktop environments, options like KDE have also had their hand in making desktop Linux a real pleasure to use. Recently, I wrote a distro comparison of Ubuntu vs. Debian, explaining that Debian presents you with various desktops from which to choose while Ubuntu provides only Unity. To take this a step further, I'll be exploring Kubuntu today so I can expand on that initial comparison.
In this article, I'll look into how Kubuntu differs from Ubuntu, where it shines and some of the areas which might need some improvement.
Installing Kubuntu
Immediately after booting the ISO image, the Kubuntu install experience feels very KDE-centric. The install media offers the same choices as a standard Ubuntu installation, down to the option for installing third-party software and updates.

Throw a tree-trimming party
Here's how we do it…
Come one, come all!
No matter how old we get, we all love receiving my BFF's party invites. They're more kindergarten-chic than grown-up, and that's just the way we like it. Each year is a variation on a theme: the Christmas tree. All ya have to do is cut a tree out of green construction paper and decorate it. One year, my bud used fuzzy pompoms as ornaments. Another, she glitzed it up with faux rhinestones. On the opposite side of the tree, she writes out the party info in metallic sharpie.
Get organized before the doorbell rings.
When your friends arrive, you don't want to be scramblin' around trying to find your ornaments, right? Be prepared before they knock on the door. Bring out the ornaments and other tree décor, set up snacks and drinks, and pick out your party tunes beforehand. If you need some help, ask one or two close friends to come over early to pull boxes down from the attic or set up snacks.
Add a dose of DIY.
Why not have your girls make some ornaments of their own during the party? Go old school with macaroni-noodle picture frames or try our popcorn and cranberry garland for a homemade, traditional look.
Gotta have munchies!
No party is complete without an array of snacks to keep your tummies in check. Keep it seasonal with apples and caramel dip, homemade trail mix and Christmas-colored sweets. If you're in the mood for fizz, snag a few bottles of sparkling apple cider and propose a toast…to the best girls on the block!
Tell us, girls: What parties are you planning this holiday season?

NME: Speaking to Kerrang!, Jonathan Davis said he and his band were tired of being known as "the godfathers of nu metal" and that some of their fans were "stuck in 1994".
Asked if he was worried about people's reaction to 'The Path Of Totality', Davis replied: "People are going to be pissed about this record. That's made me even more excited about it. I don't give a flying fuck what people think. We can't win with Korn fans. Some are so stuck in 1994."
The singer also blasted people who wanted his band to simply rehash their older material and said they were sick of their tag as the inventors of the nu-metal genre. He said: "Everybody calls us the godfathers of nu-metal and I'm fucking tired of that. We don't want to join the nostalgia circuit. Us, Limp Bizkit, Staind or some shit like that. Fuck that."
The singer added that he believed his band had invented a new genre of music on the album, which he calls "future metal" and revealed that the band's recent single 'Get Up' was inspired by his hatred of everybody moaning about the recession.
He said of this: 'Get Up' is about the recession. I wish everyone would shut the fuck up and have some fun. Every day I've got to hear about unemployment and people starving.

House Committee on Education and the Workforce Chairman John Kline (R-MN) issued the following statement after the Obama administration announced enrollment figures for the health care exchanges:
The dismal enrollment figures released by the administration are further proof the president's health care law is a train wreck. The administration has failed to meet its own deliberately low expectations. In any classroom this kind of poor performance would receive an F and in most private businesses someone would be shown the door. Millions of Americans are set to lose their current health coverage, and all the president has offered them is a broken website. I urge my Democrat colleagues to support the Keep Your Health Plan Act as we continue the fight to dismantle this fatally flawed law.

Apples to Apples, will be hitting Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network this coming December 2011 with a Facebook version to follow.
Apples to Apples is a card game in which the lead player plays a Red Apple card that has an adjective on it, and the other players must play Green Apple cards with nouns on them face down. The lead player reads out the Green Apple cards randomly, and each player votes on the card they think best describes the Red Apple best. The player whose card is voted on by the other players earns the point.
The console versions will feature both online and offline multiplayer for up to six players, with customizable play modes and special Golden Apple cards, which are unique to the digital version in that they change the rules on the fly. There will also be a single player mode, which is unusual for a game of this sort; THQ has not revealed how the single player version will be implemented.
THQ has also promised downloadable content, which will include more than 1,000 additional cards, as well as more Golden Apple cards and backgrounds. Apples to Apples will be 800 Microsoft Points on Xbox Live Arcade and $9.99 USD on PlayStation Network.

Detailed Description:
Postoperative IOP elevation is one of the most common complications after LPI.Previous studies showed that brimonidine 0.2% is effective in blunting IOP spikes after LPI.This prospective randomized double-masked interventional study will include patients with bilateral narrow angles, defined by irido-trabecular contact in >180o on gonioscopy.Pilocarpine 1% will be used in both eyes, and 30 minutes later, brimonidine 0.1% randomly used in one eye and brimonidine 0.2% in the contra-lateral eye. LPI with Nd:YAG laser is performed 30 minutes later in both eyes by a single glaucoma specialist. IOP measurements are assessed before the use of any eyedrop (basal IOP), 30 minutes after pilocarpine (pre-brimonidine), and 30, 60, 120, 180 minutes after LPI. Pachymetry, ultrasonic biometry, gonioscopy, and total YAG laser energy are recorded. Non-parametric test will be used for analysis.

We always welcome a Letter to the Editor to share with our readers. This one from Cowes resident, James Luke. Ed
Despite being an ordinary person with little interest in politics, I have recently become an open and vocal opponent of the proposed Asphalt Plant in Cowes. With no previous experience of campaigning, I am concerned by just how one sided the argument appears.
Last week a comment on the On The Wight Website, posted under the alias "Mr Einstein's Ghost", stated that the plant "will be built – should be built". My response was to ask why the plant should be built …. sadly I heard no more.
What is the value?
Therefore, I would like to ask supporters of the proposed Asphalt Plant to explain the exact value of the proposal to the Island and to Islanders. This is a genuine question that I would like to extend to Eurovia, the IW Council and anyone who actually supports this proposal.
What exactly is the value of the proposed Asphalt Plant to Islanders?
"Strategically important?"
In their planning application, Eurovia have described the Asphalt Plant as "strategically important" to the Island but stop short of explaining why. Recently the Planning Department of the IW Council have, in a closed meeting with Eurovia, agreed relaxed noise criteria for the planning application.
No justification for relaxing planning criteria has been given and we can only assume that it is because the application is considered "strategically important". Clearly, the Applicant is incentivised by profit to build the plant …. however the profitability of Eurovia and their offshore bankers based in Luxembourg (the same tax haven used by Starbucks) does not make the plant "strategically important" to Islanders.
Council deny link
The IW Council have very clearly denied any link between the planning application and the PFI Contract. Council Leader David Pugh, Councillor Ed Giles and PFI Director Jay Jayasundara have all publicly stated that the PFI can be delivered without the Asphalt Plant.
Given that the plant isn't needed for the PFI, why is it considered "strategically important"?
Doesn't appear to be any benefit for the Island
Contentious planning decisions often result from situations where the needs of the general population conflict with the needs of individuals who will be dis-advantaged. For example, when building a new road or school or hospital.
In this case there doesn't appear to be any benefit for the Island. Asphalt production is not an emerging growth industry and it's hard to envision the Island becoming a global leader in this industry.
There is an existing Asphalt Plant on the Island so a new plant in Cowes will simply be taking business from the existing plant. Any jobs created at the new plant will almost certainly be accompanied by job losses at the existing plant.
This proposal does not bring new skills or capability to the Island and will not grow to be a large employer. We can't grow the Island economy by selling Asphalt to the mainland and there is a finite market on the Island. There isn't therefore any case based on economic growth.
"All pain no gain"
I therefore trust that supporters of the proposal will do more than state "we need to encourage industry". That's not what is happening here!
For Islanders this application looks like a case of "all pain no gain".
Accused of scaremongering
In stating that the Asphalt Plant "should be built", Mr Einstein's Ghost also accused objectors of scaremongering. Islanders will recall that we had a similar situation last year when Council Leader David Pugh stated on IW Radio that opponents of the plans were scaremongering.
Following that accusation, I wrote to Councillor Pugh asking him to substantiate his comment. Councillor Pugh initially ignored my letter until I asked the question through the media.
At that point, Councillor Pugh replied stating that one of the original images shown on the WRAP Web site was an unfair representation of the proposed plant. Councillor Pugh made no comment about the health, pollution, dust, odour, noise, traffic congestion, tourism and overall economic concerns of objectors.
Like Councillor Pugh, Mr Einstein's Ghost also failed to provide any further substantiation of his scaremongering accusation.
Over the last six months I've spent a lot of time studying the proposals for the Asphalt Plant. I've read page after page of argument against the plans but no argument for.
My question for Eurovia, our elected officials and anyone else who supports the proposals is simple …. what value does this proposed plant bring to the Island and the people who live here?

Being the athlete nut that some claim I am, I function on a different schedule than most people.
With me the four seasons are not winter, spring, summer and fall, they are football, basketball, baseball and hunting.
I am now going through one of those season changes. Basketball has just ended and the calendar now tells of the start of baseball season.
As the 2012 Warriors take the diamond I get to look back at when I took the diamond with the 1949 Warriors. This group won the first of three straight HDN championships.
We took the field under the direction of Brick Bralich, who was only
here one year. We all looked forward to what first-year Warrior Dick
Turner was going to do on the baseball field.
Dick had enrolled at Del Norte as a senior in the fall, transferring
here from Drain High School in Oregon. He had already made first-team
all-league as a running back in football and first-team all-league as a
forward in basketball and was about to take the mound for the first time
as a pitcher.
He lived up to his reputation and pitched us to the league
championship and was again selected first-team all-league. After
graduation Dick went on to Oregon State University on a football
scholarship. The rest of the team were old Del Norters, some that played
together for two more years and helped us win two more league
As I look back at my 1949 teammates, the roster includes members who
became life-long friends. The outfield was Bob James, Don and Leon
Morgan. Don was a junior at the time and as a senior pitched us to an
undefeated championship and to this day remains one of my most cherished
Al Young was the first baseman and only a sophomore, so we played
together two more years, and I had the honor of being best man at his
wedding when he married Betty. This was a long time ago and they are
still going strong.
The second baseman was Ken Kellis, who held the position for three
years. Third base was held down by Sonny May, another three-year
starter. Shortstop was Louie Fowler.
The catcher was Bunky Peterson, the youngest of the three Peterson
brothers. Rocky, Rich and Bunky all were great Warrior athletes.
I was the team cheerleader and played as a backup at catcher, first
and second base, and all three outfield positions.
The team included others who are still good friends. Arnie Lopez, our

Entry #2
I have had some intersting game in the meanwhile. It is called 'real life'. I quitted my job, got another one, quitted that one after juSt 3 years as well and founded my own company. That founding was almost three years ago.
During that certain game I did the right decisions. I believe.
I am quite certain I will not have any time the next six months but... would you enjoy another update or sequell of Catgirl Planet? If yes, I would like to hear out your opinion: What shall I improve most at that game? Just graphics? More Catgirls? Or anything else?
Well whatever: Thank you for putting up with me and thank you for more than 1 million calls.

so, how did you start a company?
2014-03-30 02:14:11
We need boobs.
Big boobs.
Catgirl boobs.
2014-04-04 22:30:04
Adding animations (If you had the time for that, of course). More storyline and character interactions. The skill level up wasvery good from the original. Maybe start off this sequel in a different time period from the first game.
Thanks for getting back to the Newgrounds community, by the way. Many of us loved your original game and are happy to hear from you again. I understand the busy, crazy reality out there. I wish you much more success in your company and career, as well as your games here!
2014-04-23 17:24:40
I just love coming back to Newgrounds after so many years of not giving it a single tought and find that some of mye most favourite games artists is still... alive... I really liked your sim game and would love to see more development go into it. For what I would like to see is:
-Improved grapichs
-Improve the current catgirls with more options and events
-General/Random Events both of adult content and not
-More areas example a moon (You do have a space ship...)
-New Game + (Start out with different bonuses or unlock more girls and/or areas)
Hope you don't let the game "rest" for too long.
2014-06-14 04:22:41
At least 3 seperate choices, improved plot/story lines, rudimentary questing etc etc
Random events would be interesting
2014-10-11 02:27:11
I do have a few suggestions:
More catgirls
More training options and maybe need multiple stats. Cause Srsly if you just start the game with max vitality, raise it up to about 500 and then raise all other stats to above par level focusing mostly on strength so you can mine antiques then you can easily beat the game in less than 10 minutes. It's better to have more to it.
Also improved graphics. I like that this game have original characters and not just stock photos but maybe hire an artist or something to make the characters more fleshed out.
Apart from that just more of a story to it and I'm good.
2015-08-23 07:38:02
Really like Catgirlplanet! Agree with some other comments; improve graphics, more of a story line and a longer gameplay (so you can't beat the game within 10 min).
2015-09-30 15:21:14
hmmm a sequel or a update tbh I rather see both but since it's hard to do that since you are busy.to improve on the game graphic add a more catgirls but also hidden events would be a nice touch..but this is just my opinion I'll enjoy anyways^^

A lightning strike during Monday's late afternoon storm sent a charge through electrical lines that damaged equipment at Columbia County's emergency response center.
"That's what time it hit," county Emergency and Operations Division Director Pam Tucker said as she stood in front of a clock at the center that was frozen at 5:46. "It came in through our electrical lines."
The lightning damaged several clocks, phones, computers and radio consoles inside the building on Ronald Reagan Drive at Evans Town Center Boulevard. It houses Tucker's division offices, the 311 center and staff, and the Emergency Operations Center. The center, which includes numerous consoles, computers and a wall-sized screen to view traffic camera feeds or other images associated with emergencies, can be used as the base of communications and emergency response during a crisis.
"Not all of the phones and not all of the computers were affected," Tucker said. "If we had a major situation that was going to be long-term in scope, then we would really feel the impact. As it is right now, even with something minor, we'll be able to manage. And the day-to-day (operations), we'll be able to manage."
The isolated storm dumped 0.38 of an inch of rain at the center in less than 30 minutes. The storm drenched an isolated part of Evans, but caused no other damage aside from a single downed tree.
No one was inside the center at 5:46 p.m., when lightning likely struck a nearby power pole and came into the building.
"Every bell and whistle and siren in here probably made noise," Tucker said.
The damage wasn't noticed until Tuesday morning, when Tucker said she and other employees noticed several of the hard-wired synchronized clocks stopped and computers malfunctioning.
County technicians are testing switches to see what can be easily repaired, and Tucker said she's already filed an insurance claim for the damage.
The lightning didn't damage the Columbia County Sheriff's Office substation, which occupies the other side of the building.

Four days crazyness!
In those four days I'm going to do a complete crazyness! I was just listening to some AudioMachine, in particular this one and while it was playing I just saw it in my head! I was ashtonishingly looking at my new Eternal Spring trailer!
So, here we are! After many times I got stuck on various situations, now, waiting for GSoC results, I'm going to create a video game trailer for Eternal Spring. Not an awesome trailer. A breath-taking one. If it wouldn't be, it wouldn't also worth the time! ;)
Stay tuned!

Good practices
Always a good practice for a programmer:
- When you're about to shut down your machine and stop working, give "uptime" command.
- Spend a minute thinking about how much time you're spending for this, and how much you spend for the rest of your life.

The Gluon Dream
Hello! :) Today I will talk to you about an interesting project I've been working and experimenting over the last 2 months: Gluon.
- What's this Gluon about?
Gluon is a project of the KDE software (in the playground[1]) with a big dream: delivering high quality free games and a game creator.
Technically speaking there's the Gluon Creator, which is the game maker built on top of Qt and OpenGL, and then there's the Gluon Player, which is the actual "player" of the games baked without the creator. The idea behind all of this is quite awesome and impressed me a lot.
- Why should it be revolutionary?
Every person with a passion for videogames but not willing (or not able) to learn a complex programming language and framework can achieve his/her dream of make a new videogame. This opens a lot of opportunities to the free gaming world, involving also the individuals (and bored :D) people into game development.
- Ok, got it. What about portability?
Gluon is more than awesome in portability. Compared to other deployment engines like Steam or USC, Gluon brings a "player" that can read and play baked games. This is amazing, since we just need to ship the baked game file, not compiled or architecture dependant.
This means that Gluon games can be played on every OS and architecture that the Gluon player has been compiled for. Since Qt is one of the most portable frameworks the awesomenessmeter is quite high.
- Wow, that's cool! What about distribution?
Here is my idea. We assured that Gluon has quite awesome deployment system. What is really missing is a distribution system that rocks. The official website for gaming community collaboration is gamingfreedom.org and the only implementation is the test server[2] kindly provided by Frank Karlitschek of openDesktop.org. My idea is to develop it further, giving players and developers the ability to sign up, upload games, play, give feedback and ratings, but also comments and other. Imagine a social website that could meet all those requirements. But there's more!
I would also use and (in part implement) the Open Collaboration Services protocol that allows any client written in any language (that use OCS) to interface to Gluon database of games, users and so more.
See the OCS reference to have an idea of what can be implemented.http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/open-collaboration-services
- Awesome! There's something more?
Yep! One thing more. Since we're creating all this for Gluon, and since OCS, db schemes and protocol are quite fixed inside the protocol, we can also make all this portable to other projects as well. Just to give you some examples... this could be adapted to store amarok's plugins, music context collaboration in Amarok, Tomahawk etc. or plasma themes, or even a QML app store.
But those are just theorical ideas. So, please, help me promote my GSoC proposal: http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2012/snizzo/1001 :)

ROCHESTER, Minn. -- A widely used antiaging supplement has no effect on aging markers such as muscle strength, peak endurance, muscle mass, fat mass and glucose tolerance in elderly men and women, according to Mayo Clinic researchers. The findings from their two-year study appear in the Oct. 19 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
The findings serve to dispel the belief that dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), sold extensively as an antiaging supplement in health and grocery stores, can reverse age-related alterations in body composition and function, says the study's lead author K. Sreekumaran Nair, M.D., Mayo Clinic endocrinologist.
"For almost two years we restored DHEA in older men and women to the high normal levels that are usually observed in young people, but found no beneficial effects on age-related changes in body composition and function," Dr. Nair says. "No beneficial effects on quality of life were observed. There's no evidence based on this study that DHEA has an antiaging effect."
The double blind study involved 87 men and 57 women who were followed for two years. Participants showed no change in several markers of aging -- body composition, physical performance, insulin sensitivity or quality of life.
Mayo Clinic's findings contradict some of the previous reports on DHEA. Dr. Nair says many former studies were done over shorter periods of time and didn't involve a large enough group of subjects. Mayo's study also was strengthened because it was a double blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial. DHEA was administered only to people with low DHEA and testosterone levels.
Dr. Nair calls DHEA use a controversial issue, as antiaging supplements drive sales in the health food industry. He advises elderly people to stop using DHEA because it is unlikely to offer any antiaging effect.
DHEA has been promoted as an antiaging supplement, say the study's authors, in part because high levels of DHEA have been associated with longevity in humans and nonhuman primates. But studies involving rodents aren't applicable to humans, as rodents have very low levels of DHEA, the authors say.
The study also involved administering low-dose testosterone to elderly men who had low testosterone. The authors found testosterone offered minimal beneficial effects on bone density, and far less than those offered by many current accepted therapies. Investigators found no negative side effects, although they caution that the study was conducted only in men without prostate problems.
The New England Journal of Medicine published an accompanying editorial to Mayo's study, with Paul Stewart, M.D., of the University of Birmingham, Ala., saying the search for eternal youth will continue. But in light of the Mayo findings, he suggests DHEA should no longer be accepted as a food supplement and should instead be treated as a regulated drug.
"Appropriate regulation would dispel much of the quackery associated with this elusive hormone," Dr. Stewart writes.

I'm Not Saying I Could Do Any Better....
... and I certainly can't fly, but if I could, I think I'd be doing something a little different with my legs. You're asking for some nasty windshear in the old crotchal region, know what I mean? And there's also the question of it affecting your mileage. Ok, it's just wrong. I don't care that Superboy is on a stamp doing it, it's just wrong!

It looks like that is from approx 1948-1950 and didn't Superman just leap long distances still at that point?
Not that it looks any less ridiculous, but it could explain why he is performing yoga in midair.

Is that why Lois always had that look of pure wonderment on her face? If "Little Clark" really IS a third leg, I would have that look on my face, too. You know which one I mean.

comicgeek raises an interesting point: Since Superboy was Superman as a boy, and he didn't really graduate to flying until he was Superman for a couple of years, shouldn't all Superboy stories just have him leaping? We all know that wasn't the case.

« Ford Develops Foam with 40% Soy-Based Material | Main | Infineon Introduces New Power Modules for Mild- and Full-Hybrid Drive Systems »
Delphi to Provide Hybrid Powertrain Components for New Ford Hybrids
16 October 2006
Ford Motor Company has selected Delphi Corp to provide the battery pack systems and thermal management systems for the coming 2008 Ford Fusion Hybrid and Mercury Milan Hybrid vehicles. Delphi announced that it will also provide hybrid vehicle electronics for several other yet-to-be announced vehicle customers.
Delphi has had more than 70 patents issued since 2000 in power electronics and advanced energy systems. During the mid-1990s, Delphi built much of the electronics, including the hybrid module and electrical systems, for the first electric vehicles built and made available on the market by a major manufacturer in North America.
Delphi creates custom designs and builds power electronics that include DC/DC converters, ECM/HEV controllers, inverters and high-voltage battery packs with an optional 120/240VAC mobile power unit that integrate seamlessly into the vehicles electrical architecture.
Delphi officials announced the Ford contract at the 2006 Convergence Conference in Detroit.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Delphi to Provide Hybrid Powertrain Components for New Ford Hybrids:
The UAW at Delphi is pretty unhappy already. I hope Ford doesn't find themselves totally hostage.
On the other hand, it is good news that Ford hybrid sedans are coming.
I think Ford cars are often pretty good at introduction But the key is to listen to legitimate criticism and quickly fix what isn't right. Ford doesn't seem to do that.
(What happened to the idea that Volvo was to be Ford's big leader and supplier for hybrid tech?) Maybe the new guy is having an effect.

A blueprint has been laid out for financing, development and construction of infrastructure along the Chula Vista bayfront.
The financing agreement sets a framework for future obligations between the city of Chula Vista and the San Diego Unified Port District.
Approved at a May 8 meeting in Chula Vista, it lays the groundwork for the future Bayfront Master Plan, a waterfront development expected to generate $1.3 billion for the region's economy over the next 20 years.
Both the Port District and the Chula Vista City Council offered unanimous support for the agreement.
"There are two words to describe this project: unprecedented and inspiring," Chula Vista Mayor Cheryl Cox said.
The plan explains that after a developer is decided upon for construction of a resort hotel, the port and Chula Vista will collaborate on an infrastructure funding agreement by issuing revenue bonds.
Ground lease revenues, transient occupancy taxes, development impact fees and tourism marketing district funds are the four sources of funds to be used for the down payment on the infrastructure bonds and debt service.
The tourism marketing district funds are a controversial hotel tax collected for the stated purpose of promoting Chula Vista as a tourism destination.
The agreement formulates a joint powers authority to oversee the funds.
The bayfront plan includes what is described as world-class resort and conference center, multifamily housing, restaurants, a mix of office and commercial buildings and 238 acres of open space, including 40 acres of parks, trails, bike paths and buffers that protect sensitive habitats.
Expected to create 7,000 construction jobs and more than 2,000 permanent jobs, the last hurdle will be a vote by the California Coastal Commission, which is scheduled to consider approval of the environmental impact report sometime between July and October, Cox said.
The initial estimate for the first infrastructure phase is about $120 million.
Oakland-based Silverado Contractors Inc. was recently selected by Dynegy South Bay to demolish the South Bay Power Plant.
"I think (residents) won't realize until the power plant is down just what a stunning view Chula Vista has from its bayfront," Cox said.
Asbestos removal is under way and is expected to continue through June to clear the way for demolition.
Councilwoman Patricia Aguilar raised questions about the relocation of an RV park that was not included in the financing agreement. Assistant City Manager Gary Halbert said this deal dealt only with infrastructure, and the city was in the process of examining the best options for the RV park.
The 5-0 vote to approve the agreement drew applause from the audience.

Thanks, Tami! That's why I wanted to toss it out for a bit of discussion before I had Roxanna open the swap. I wasn't sure about the strips, but thought it would be fun to add a bit more to the layer cake. I am definitely going to do this one, just trying to work out the final details.
Chicagoland, Illinois
Suzi, what if we included two different 10" squares instead of the Kona strip. I'm not as fond of the Kona strip because I don't have easy access to a place to buy it but that's me. Let us know what you are thinking.
I am with Roxanna on the 10" square.
I would like to join the oriental group.
I like this. But not with kona required. I think a coordinated solid would work well.. II can't sew but I can cut so I would like to be in on this..
I also like Roxana's idea of two different prints.
OK Gals..you have me convinced.
Roxana--would you please open a new Oriental Layer Cake Swap. I'll put the details in the group as soon as it's open.
I will not be able to teacpvel this summer because my sin and his adorable wife are expecting my new grand daughter in about a month. You can guess what I have been sewing and quilting<GGG>. My DH also needs hernia surgery.
i wanted to get some of the Row by Row patterns or Lkits and definitely want the license plate fabrics! If anyone else is collecting them, pleae let me know. I can either trade using the ones from the shops around here or just pay you. I particularly want Susanne's in Moultrie Georgia as well as Little Quikts front Marietta, GA. I usually get to them. I just thought having the patterns and license plate fabric would be a great quilt stat!
If you can help me out, pleae OM me or friend me.
Please keep me in the loop. I think this is something I might enjoy participating in.
Do you mind sending a picture of what a layer cake looks l I keep so ill have an ideal.
A layer cut is a 10" square piece of fabric.
By the way, welcome to QCA.
In the beautiful Pacific Northwest!
Please let me know when this swap starts etc. Thanks--Robin
The Oriental Layer Cake Swap has just opened. Go to the swap's thread and read the instructions before signing up. Let's have some fun! (I hope that the link works!)
There are only 5 more spots in the Oriental Fabric swap! No sewing involved...just 2 10" squares! Come play along!

Just a [D/F#] fool to be- [Em] -lieve
I have [D] anything she [C] needs, [Cadd9]
She's like the wind [G]
#2. I look in the mirror, and all I see
Is a young old man, with only a dream
Am I just fooling myself, that she'll stop the pain
Living without her, I'll go insane
[G] Just a [D] fool to [Em7] believe, (jus-[G/D]-t a
fool to [C] believe) [Cadd9] She's like the wind [G]
Fade out, [Am7] she's like the [C] wind,
[Cadd9] she's like the [G] wind
Create the fade out fitting to your voice and own style, this version is done in my own way,
meeting my voice. Hints (very welcome) and comments to: email@example.com
