Dirty Dog Nation has been unleashed in Argoland.
The latest, perhaps greatest challenge?
Take a bite out of the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Saturday night. Or run the risk of getting pounded and leaving Mosaic Stadium with their tails between their legs.
They may call themselves Dirty Dogs, but the term was created in good, clean fun, with the purpose of serving as a rallying point for the Argos who work in the trenches up front, manning the defensive line.
"In (training) camp, someone would make a play, you're kinda jealous, you go, 'Ah, man, you Dirty Dog!' It just carried on," Argos defensive end Jonathan Williams explained.
"It's a D-line thang!"
Sounds like a howling good time.
Let's hound them for further details.
"Basically, D-line getting together and we were like, 'Hmm.' What are we?' Just trying to find our identity," defensive tackle Kiante Tripp said, recalling how the Dogs came to be. "We just came up with this Dirty Dog. It just came out of nowhere.
"It's basically a brotherhood, man. Building a bond. We've all got the same goal in mind. We just want to stick together," Tripp added.
"It's the symbol behind it — brotherhood and a lot of other things. But basically, we just like to stick together and try to make a positive effect on this team."
The bite hasn't always been as big as the bark this season for the Boatmen defence, but it's coming around. And considering the team's off-season makeover on defence — Robert McCune, the since departed Brandon Isaac and Marcus Ball are the lone carryovers from last season — the Scullers should feel reasonably good about how the defence has progressed.
The Argos have surrendered the fewest points in the East Division and third-fewest in the league, and while they came into last weekend's tilt with the Alouettes having allowed the most yardage in the league, an average of 418 yards per game, the Argos held Montreal to just 268 yards, the fewest of any opponent this season. Along with that, Toronto, which boasted a 67% success rate when opponents reach their red zone, has shown a willingness to do what it takes to keep opponents from converting yards into points.
Throw in a game-changing pick six by Tripp against the Alouettes — the first touchdown of his career — and it's easy to understand why the front-liners, including the likes of Khalif Mitchell, Cleyon Laing and David Lee, are going into Regina with some swagger.
They'll need all the bravado they can summon against a Riders team that leads the league in points (325) and features a dangerous running game flanked by league-leading rusher Kory Sheets.
"I know that guy from somewhere," Williams deadpanned when asked about Sheets. "He's a great athlete. Hats off to him.
"We're just going to have to come in together as a strong unit and the dog pack gotta hunt together because that's one well-trained and coached group up front," he added. "We have to bring our A game."
Toronto, the East Division's first-place team, against Saskatchewan, the best in the West Division. It has the makings of a classic and you can bet the Scullers are more than ready to exact some revenge on an opponent that put the boots to them in Toronto in Week 3.
If the Argos feature a Dirty Dog Nation, the Riders are no Puppy Hamlet, having surrendered the fewest points of any team. They feature some big names, such as John Chick and former Argo Ricky Foley, and have shown a knack for shutting down opponents with aggressive defending.
"Ultimate test, indeed," Tripp said. "They've got a good front, we've got a good front, we're just going to play ball. People are going to see a good show."
Perhaps, all things considered, Williams summed Saturday's contest up best.
"Those guys are dogs, too," he said. "It's going to a test — a real dog fight for us."
Two big weapons in the Toronto Argonauts' arsenal have been given the green light, but a pair of other key components might be halted from starting on Saturday against the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
As expected, running back Chad Kackert and kicker Swayze Waters, who both returned to practice this week for the first time after lengthy stints on the injured list, will be on the field at Mosaic Stadium.
Kackert has been sidelined with a knee injury since Week 4, while Waters has been on the shelf with a groin injury sustained in the team's first game of the season.
Kackert's return puts a smile on the face of head coach Scott Milanovich and certainly the rest of the team heading into what promises to be a difficult contest against the top-ranked Riders.
"I like the guys we have behind Kack. They just don't have the same experience — the number of games in the system. And that's where Kack has an advantage, because he's been through it all, he's done it and he's had success," Milanovich said on Thursday. "You can just tell how much more confident he is in his first step in protection. I believe all those other guys can play, and play well, it's just a matter of time and reps for those guys. I think it will be a good feeling for coaches and for Zach."
It's not all roses on the Argos' injury front, as linebacker Robert McCune and defensive back Pat Watkins are battling undisclosed injuries and may not play.
"He's going to be a game-time decision," Milanovich said of McCune, who leads the Argos with 60 tackles. "We held Pat (Watkins) out a little bit, too. Just later in the season, guys banged up, and based on field conditions, too. We're not ready to make a decision yet on either of those guys."
Receiver/returner Chad Owens, dealing with a rib injury, will not play.

Bomb explodes under Indian train, 5 killed
GUWAHATI, India (Reuters) - A bomb exploded under a packed passenger train in India's troubled northeast early on Thursday, killing at least five people, officials said.
Four people were injured in the blast that ripped through the luggage van of the Rajdhani Express traveling to New Delhi from Assam state, a railway official said.
Police suspect the hand of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) which is fighting for an independent homeland for the 26 million people in the tea-and oil-rich state.
Officials said the train had resumed its journey after the damaged luggage van was removed.

Here are the fabrics I was sooooo lucky to find more of at Walmart this weekend. Now I can make my new Calif. King bed quilt. I will be using marbled rusts, blues, green and gold to go with these. I am still deciding between Garden Twist and Warm Wishes for the pattern. Here is the link to Warm Wishes: http://quiltmaker.com/patterns/patt83/index.html
I am also including a pic of the final memory quilt for my friend Laura. This is using the same scrub tops and purchased fabrics in honor of her late friend Dena. I have posted pics of those in 2007. I can't believe I made 3 already, and still have fabric to make a queen size for Laura!
this is Laura's quilt in progress. It is only about a twin size so far.
Fabrics for my new bed quilt. Looks kind of like Hoffman's Kashmir, but these are Fabric Traditions.

Advocates of African Festivals – The Fest Gurus
An interview with the Fest Gurus who plan to showcase African Festivals like never before, and a look at the challenges, and the future of African Festivals
@thefestgurus. I noticed that Twitter name from the get go. Location: Africa. Bio: One Continent. Many festivals. And I want to go to every one of them! So I will follow @thefestgurus until my time comes. For now, we got an interview with the four person team.
This blog comes with a warning – it is a very long, but incredibly interesting. It is broken up into four sections:
- About the Fest Gurus
- The future of the Fest Gurus
- Understanding the African Festival scene
- The challenges, and the future of the African Festival scene
1. About the Fest Gurus
What is the Fest Gurus concept?
It's an in development travel documentary / reality show that spotlights African culture through its festivals. Hosts, Lo and Maz, travel to African festivals across Africa, interviewing performing artists, festival organisers and attendees, and give you everything they need to know to attend African festivals.
How did the Fest Gurus concept come about?
Via twitter. Maz read 'OKA's Guide To Music Festivals In Africa' and tweeted it would be cool to get paid to travel around Africa, attending festivals, and documenting them. A few minutes later, she got a direct message from Lo – she'd had a similar idea and wanted to collaborate. Two weeks later, Maz was in Harare, Zimbabwe meeting Lo. That same day, they started shooting their pilot episode with Zash and Gwi, Lo's contacts.
The who's who of the Fest Gurus: LORRAINE (LO, @lochnation)
- Born in Harare, Zimbabwe to Tanzanian parents, and an intellectual property expert by degree
- Co-host and producer of 'Off The Wall' radio show on Zi-fm through which she has interviewed artists like Estelle and Sean Paul
- Blogger at Lochnation where she discusses all things African
MAZUBA (Maz, @afrosocialite)
- The Zambian in the Fest Gurus team and one half of C1rca1964
Radio correspondent for Australian based African
inspired radio station Radio Afro
- Has been featured on an episode of MTV Base Meets Alek Wek, and has interviewed her fair share of big names
NGONIDZASHE CHINHARA (ZASH, @zashcrafted)
- A 27 year old Zimbabwean photographer
- Loves photographing people as they go about their normal routines and playing around with minimal light, "It's like trying to capture secrets"
GWINYAYI MABIKA (GWI, @MrGwi)
- A 26 year old editor, producer and director – a software consultant by day who puts on his media cape when the bats come out to play
- Zash and Gwi make up Crafted Media who aim to be the visual expression of any thought, idea or feeling you may have
Why did you get involved in the Fest Gurus?
- LO: "Because I believe that cultural industries can contribute to the economic development of Africa."
- MAZ: "As a holder of a bachelors degree in Africana Studies, I am interested in African music, fashion, and art. The Fest Gurus is an avenue for this interest.
- ZASH: "Because the Fest Gurus gives me a chance to show people a world that I love, and invite them in."
- GWI: "Because I hope African festivals continue to grow and provide a platform for artists to showcase themselves, and their nations."
The Fest Gurus team is not short of a personal ambition or two…
- LO: "To contribute to the advancement of the arts and culture sector in Zimbabwe, and to see it contribute to the economic and social development of Zimbabwe."
- MAZ: "To one day open a museum and contribute to the preservation of African culture."
- ZASH: "My ambitions are wrapped up in a camera. So I guess you could say I'm looking to get an Oscar under my belt."
- GWI: "I want to solve real problems, and empower individuals to solve their own problems."
We gotta ask, who are your favorite African musicians?
- LO: "My list will always include icons like Oliver Mtukudzi. Favorites from my generation are Victoria Kimani from Kenya, Khuli Chana from South Africa, Tehn Diamond from Zimbabwe, and Temi Dollface from Nigeria"
- MAZ: "They change with the times, so for now it's Davido, Wizkid, Burna Boy and Mafikizolo."
- ZASH: "Oliver Mtukudzi. I grew up listening to him and my Dad and I still fight over his CDs. Of the new breed I love Proverb from South Africa. It's such intelligent music. I also like Nneka and Asa from Nigeria. They both unique sounds and paint a gorgeous picture of Africa."
- GWI: "Oliver Mtukudzi, Angelique Kidjo, Khuli Chana, Tumi Molekane, Chiwoneso Maraire, Hugh Masekela"
2. The future of the Fest Gurus
So, tell us about your Go Fund Me campaign
The last day of the campaign is August 13th. The campaign is focused on enabling us to shoot at the Lake of Stars Festival in Malawi. We travel, eat and sleep as cheap as possible, but overall you are looking at about $1,000 per person per festival. Consider air tickets, accommodation, festival tickets, food, internal transport and VISA fees (sometimes required) and before you know it, you've hit $1,000. We're hoping people will contribute to our own personal funds so we can make it happen, in terms of travel and accommodation costs. As the Fest Gurus grows we won't need financial help. But right now we have an idea to raise Africa's festival profile. Exactly how we are going to do that in funding terms is up to our creativity, and the support of people who catch the vision, and are willing to support us for as little as $5 at a time.
What is you vision for the Fest Gurus? Hold on tight, these are bound to be massive!
- LO: "That we are able to share a story of Africa that everyone can fall in love with. These festivals are more than just entertainment. I want us to contribute to African festivals become bigger and better, and see them mentioned alongside Coachella and Glastonbury."
- MAZ: "Our ultimate goal is to be on network television so we can reach more people. Our short term goals are to shoot as many episodes as we can, to eventually have our own Fest Guru merchandise, and be able to hire Fest reporters. Through the Fest Gurus, I hope Africans in particular, will travel more within the continent to learn about new cultures."
- ZASH: "I want it to evolve with each episode and show people who can't attend festivals all about them. It's also meant to encourage people to support their local talent."
- GWI: "I see Fest Gurus educating and inspiring, firstly Africans, on what their continent has to offer in terms of the arts, and secondly, the rest of the world of the same. I hope it becomes the Top Gear of Festivals."
3. Understanding the African Festival scene
Tell us about your experience of HIFA – the Harare International Festival of the Arts?
HIFA was an amazing festival experience. It definitely exceeded our expectations. We were there two days and were shooting almost non stop, so I (Maz) only got to see Tehn Diamond and Barefeet Theatre. Both were amazing and received so much support from the crowd. I did get to meet the Noisettes when they stopped by Lo's radio show (Off The Wall) for ZiFm. I also got to meet and chat to local artists like Take Fizzo, The Monki Nuts, Reverb 7, and Ammara Brown. Maz blogged about her HIFA trip here and here.
In your experience so far, what kind of people attend African festivals?
We'd say lots of local people, and a good mix of people who'd traveled from neighboring countries like Zambia and South Africa. Some journalists even flew in which was a good sign.
The question of affordability always comes up in Africa – of course people who can afford it are more likely to travel to a festival. One of the things the Fest Gurus is trying to do is give people tips on how to attend festivals on a budget. For instance, #FestOpps calls for interns and volunteers for festivals – one free way of getting into a festival. Some festivals give away tickets through online competitions. We share those as we come across them.
We also need to change the perception that festivals are expensive. Some are virtually free, for instance, the upcoming Barefeet Festival (August) in Lusaka, Zambia has lots of free events, and the most expensive ticketed event is priced at about $10.
Are African artists, from the high profile, to the undiscovered, keen to take the festival route?
Yes definitely. Artists like Hope Masike performed at HIFA in Zimbabwe, and at other festivals on the Fire Fest Southern African Route. The Firefest Route included HIFA in Zimbabwe, the Azgo Festival in Mozambique, the BlackMajor festival in South Africa, the Bushfire Festival in Swaziland and the Sakifo Musik Festival in Réunion. All five of these festivals took place between April 30 and June 9.
Blitz the Ambassador is an example of an artist who performs at many festivals from the Mazzawine Festival in Morroco, to Skafest, and Vancouver Island Festival in Canada, etc. Other examples include The Noisettes who've played at Lake of Stars, HIFA and the popular festivals in the West. Others include Just A Band from Kenya, FOKN Bois from Ghana and many more. It is expensive for artists to travel, but there are funding options like the South African Music Mobility Fund and the Art Moves Africa Fund. I have friends who are artists that would jump at an opportunity to perform at multiple festivals. It comes down to National Arts Councils and Tourism Boards of African countries to provide funding that could facilitate artist movement.
4. The challenges, and the future of the African Festival scene
What is the likelihood of more African artists attending festivals in the West like, say Glastonbury?
Lately we've seen the West embrace the new 'Afrobeats', specifically Nigerian artists. Last year, D Banj performed to a sold out crowd at Hackney Weekend. This year Wizkid performed at the Wireless Yahoo Festival and had the whole audience singing lyrics to his hits 'Pakuromo' and 'Don't Dull' which is amazing. Spoek Matambo just did the WOMAD Festival with Afrikaan Boy. The list goes on and on and It's only going to continue. There are also festivals dedicated to African music in the West like The 'Festival International Nuits D'Afrique' (The International Festival of African Nights) in Canada, and which actually started in 1987. Other festivals like this prove that there's obviously an audience for African artists at festivals.
Talk us about the challenge of expensive inter Africa travel
It's not like in the States where you can travel to a different state for a fraction of the cost you'd pay to fly 45 minutes here. For instance, flying to Harare from Lusaka costs over $200, yet a bus ride costs less than $50 for a round trip. But travelling by bus takes more time. It can be grueling, tiring and unpredictable, with long waits at the border. This kind of travel just makes festival travel a hindrance.
The reasons why it's so much more expensive to travel to attend festivals in Africa, versus the West, is poor road networks, border procedures and air space. We don't have enough airlines in Africa yet. More competition would result in lower fees for customers. Some airlines have monopoly over locations. Some countries (Zambia included) don't even have national airlines, so we have to rely on other airlines, and their fees.
But we've heard about Fast Jet a new low budget airline with flights as cheap as $20. It just introduced routes to South Africa and Tanzania. That's exciting. Proflight Zambia also just launched its first international route to Malawi and announced plans for more international flights. We're hopeful this will ease the financial strain of travelling in Africa.
thebestofzambia.com is all about putting missing information about Zambia online. So, we feel your pain when you say we can't look up the information we need about African festivals. What are you doing about it, and what is the solution?
Fest Gurus would like to be a part of that change. #Festnews is us spreading the word about African festivals through our social media platforms. We share festival line-ups, and reviews. We're compiling an e-book which will have a festival calendar, a list of websites of African festivals, contact information, where to stay – basically everything you need to know. We think HIVOS is doing it's part by funding AfriFestNet which provides updates on African festivals in terms of location and timing.
What do you think the future of African Festivals looks like?
Some African countries are realising it's important to fund the arts and tourism. Some countries have dedicated art ministries and councils, though funding isn't always there. But it's unfortunate that some African countries still don't see the benefit of the arts, and leave it to international agencies to fund most of the festivals. Privately owned companies are sponsoring festivals because they see that their target audiences attend these events. However, we hope these festivals don't turn into commercially sponsored events with tons of logos.
There's also the realisation that politics affects festivals. The Festival of the Desert in Mali was negatively affected since conflict broke out there. On the flip side, Somalia was able to move past years of political tension and host it's first Mogadishu Festival this year. It was headlined by K'naan.
In the future, we see more diverse people travelling to festivals. We see things like live-streaming, and more Firefest routes offering attendees major discounts for attending multiple festivals.
Finally, lets focus on Zambia. Maz, as you come from Zambia, we do not have well known festivals here. Do the Fest Gurus plan to influence the countries you are from, in seeing the value of festivals?
Yes, we do plan on influencing our countries in seeing the value of festivals. While I was at HIFA, I was jealous that we don't have something of the same caliber in Zambia. However, the Barefeet Festival has been happening for a few years now, and continues this year starting from August 24-September 1. I'm excited to be a part of that (the Fest Gurus may attend too). The Amaka Arts Festival had its inaugural debut last year and seems set to continue, as will the Kariba Music Festival, which we hope to attend next year. There's also the Zambezi River Festival in November and I have heard of the Chikumbi Festival in Southern Province. It's obviously a matter of proper marketing and funding that would improve the Zambia Festival scene.
And that's a wrap. Help the Fest Gurus fund their trip to the Lake of Stars Festival in Malawi. Note they are also funding it out of their own pockets and your funds will be used wisely – proof will be in the films that will follow. Watch them develop on the Fest Gurus blog.

The Vale of Glamorgan Festival is a contemporary music festival based in and around the county of Vale of Glamorgan, Wales and held annually during September. The festival was founded in 1969 by Welsh composer John Metcalf, who is the Artistic Director to this day.
After initially being a generic classical music festival, the Vale of Glamorgan Festival re-defined its artistic vision in 1992 to become a "festival of living composers". Since then it has gained a reputation as one of the most adventurous and unique in Great Britain.
In recognition of this position, the Vale of Glamorgan Festival received the Prudential Award in 1994. The Festival's Artistic Director received one of four inaugural Creative Wales Ambassador Awards from the Arts Council of Wales in 2009. The awards recognise artists' achievements, their standing in the arts in Wales and their capacity to push the boundaries of their art as form and as a point of contact with contemporary Wales.

I love Beauty and the Beast so obviously I headed out into theater's with the masses last week and have been whistling Be Our Guest ever since. Though I love me some live action, the original holds my heart so when I visit Walt Disney World Resort, I never want to leave the Beauty and the Beast area of New Fantasyland in Magic Kingdom! Being there for the first time back when it first opened was the most overwhelmed I have been in the parks since the first time I saw Cinderella's castle.
When I decided I need a taste of Disney World to cheer me up, LeFou's Brew was my first thought. (Here are my thoughts on Gaston's Tavern and Be Our Guest restaurants, by the way, if you stumbled here looking for reviews.)
In any case, I hit YouTube first but even though most recipes got rave comments they were just too easy or had ingredients that seemed to cost too much or take too much time. I want something that won't set back my trip planning but will also bring me back to the parks. Then when hunting on google I came across Home is Where the Mouse Is and their take came from a recipe from the Disney Diner.
I adjusted the original recipe below but you can find the full recipe on the Disney Diner site and her tips for finding ingredients and putting this together. I found all the ingredients at my local grocery store except for the marshmallow syrup which I had to order online. The link on the original recipe leads to a bottle for under $5 but that would've cost me $15 with standard shipping so I ordered from Amazon for $12 shipped prime for free! :)
LeFou's Brew Recipe
Foam Topping:1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
4 tablespoons Mango Nectar/Juice
4 tablespoons Passionfruit Juice
Apple Slush:
2- 12oz cans of frozen Apple Juice
10-12 ice cubes
1/4 cup Torani Toasted Marshmallow Syrup
2. Slush: Blend ice cubes until they are chopped up. Add both cans of apple juice, water, and syrup. Blend on high until mixed.
3. Pour slush into cup and top with whipped topping.
4. Enjoy :)
The foam here is really a lightly flavored homemade whipped cream but it works here because the Lefou's Brew in the park is foam that mimics the head on a beer. If you want to make this an "adult beverage" you could most likely swap out the Butterscotch Schnapps for the marshmallow syrup and use the foam recipe I used for my Butterbeer here.
Also, this works better made to order, and should make about 4-5 cups of slush with plenty of whipped cream to top them off so I recommend halving the recipe rather than trying to go back for more later because you will have no choice but to freeze and re-mix any leftovers if you save for later!

Inputting a Date in the format dd/mm/yy causes a fault if data is later than 2029: Inputting "30/11/30" creates the wrong Date "30/11/1930". But Inputting 30/11/29 creates a Date like "30/11/2029" correct.
What do I need to do to stay in the 21 Century ;-) ?
Hi schaffnerc,
Parsing of the DateTime object is executed by the .NET framework and the behavior can be adjusted from within the Windows 7 Control Panel's Region and Language settings. From the Region and Language menu, select "Additional Settings" and then select the "Date" tab. Under the Calendar group, you may adjust the parameters used when interpreting a two digit year.
By default, the cutoff date is set to 2029; however, you may adjust this date to obtain the desired range or you can override the parsing behavior programmatically.
I have constructed and attached a sample which demonstrates a programmatic approach with the ultraCalendarCombo, just in case you are interested in that route.
Please find the sample attached.
If you have any questions at all regarding these solutions, please let me know.
Sincerely,Chris KDeveloper Support EngineerInfragistics, Inc.www.infragistics.com/support
If I may be of any further assistance regarding this inquiry, please let me know.
Hi Chris,
this solved my problem. I'll ask the users to change their settings as we have to many regional settings like dd.mm.yyyy, dd/mm/yyyy, mm.dd.yyyy or mm/dd/yyyy.
Thank you and Regards,
Chris S

Perdue was one of the first CEOs to become an advertising spokesperson for his own company, and he was featured in some 200 television advertisements. After having served as president of Perdue Farms, Inc., from 1952, as CEO until 1988, and as chairman from 1979 to 1991, Perdue saw his company continue to prosper under the leadership of his son James, who succeeded him as CEO and chairman and as the Perdue spokesperson in 1994. The Perdue family's commitment to quality helped the company's annual revenues soar from $6 million in 1952 to $2.8 billion in 2004.

Tea towels become works of art
TEA towels were transformed into works of art when artist Liz Nillson lead a workshop in fabric printing at Creative Spark, Clontygora, Muirhevnamor on Saturday.
The Swedish born artist, who is now based in Dublin, showed participants how to draw up designs for their tea towels and then how to transform them into prints.
The workshop proved most enjoyable with the participants learning a new skill and making new friends.

The Addams Family - Game Genie Codes

Homeowner shoots at pair, dies of heart attack
Updated 12:24 am, Saturday, December 3, 2011
For a bit, the 80-year-old homeowner seemed to believe the ruse by the young woman posing as a utility worker who appeared at her front door earlier this week.
The woman claimed she and her male partner needed to do some work in the backyard and inside the Hunters Creek Village home. But after the male robber tried to get in through the back of the house, the elderly homeowner realized something was wrong and went for her pistol, said Haril Walpole, the Memorial Villages police chief.
The homeowner, who has not been identified by police, fired two shots at the would-be robbers and called 911 as they fled in a white van about 5:20 p.m. Wednesday. There is no sign that she hit anyone, although a witness reported hearing that one of them was hit, he said.
After she reported the robbery attempt to police, the homeowner collapsed and later died of an apparent heart attack, Walpole said.
"The woman they approached is a very intelligent woman," the chief said. "The officers out here know her well, and (they) stop and visit with her and her husband when they are in the yard."
The pair fled in a newer-model white Dodge or Chrysler van with a partial license plate of "CX1," police said.
Walpole said police had investigated a similar rash of cases last spring across the Houston area, involving a young, attractive woman and a man posing as utility workers. The most recent case was about eight months ago, said the chief, who cautioned residents to be on the lookout for such scams.
"If someone comes to your door and claims to be a utility worker that you didn't call, don't let them in and call 911 immediately," he said. "Utility workers typically are only responsible for the utilities outside the home, so they don't have any reason to come into the house."
Anyone with information on the case is asked to call the Memorial Villages Police Department at 713-365-3700, Walpole said.

BERLIN – Business confidence in Germany has slipped back from a 2 1/2-year high as tensions over Ukraine cloud companies' outlook for the next six months, a closely watched survey showed Tuesday.
The Ifo institute said its monthly confidence index dropped to 110.7 points this month from 111.3 in February. That was slightly worse than the 110.9 economists had predicted.
Executives' assessment of their current situation improved but their six-month outlook darkened, pushing the overall index lower for the first time since October.
"The crisis of the emerging economies and the events in Crimea are impacting the confidence of German firms," the Ifo institute, which questions some 7,000 companies for its survey, said in a statement.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has stressed that she wants a diplomatic solution to the crisis over Russia's actions in Ukraine but has made clear she won't shy away from economic sanctions if the situation there escalates.
Germany, Europe's biggest economy, gets about a third of its natural gas supply from Russia. Last year, Russia was Germany's 11th-biggest trading partner overall — well behind the top four of France, the Netherlands, China and the U.S. — with a total trade volume of 76.5 billion euros ($105.5 billion). That's almost 4 per cent of Germany's total foreign trade.
Last week, the government's panel of independent economic advisers raised its 2014 growth forecast for Germany to 1.9 per cent from 1.6 per cent, following feeble growth of 0.4 per cent last year.
Andreas Rees, an economist at UniCredit in Munich, said there is "no reason to ring the alarm bell or even to call off the upswing."
"At least so far, it is psychology and nothing else," he said. As long as the crisis in Ukraine doesn't escalate in a way that brings tough trade restrictions, "the hit to forward-looking confidence will only be a temporary one," he added.

Diesel-electric hybrid | If it works for locomotives and mining equipment, it might work in a high horsepower farm tractor
FARGO, N.D. — Farmers were skeptical but hopeful when the diesel-electric autonomous tractor debuted this fall.
"Can this thing really pull my air drill?" was a common question.
Diesel-electric has been powering the 60,000 pound, 235 horsepower Caterpillar D7E dozer for the past five years.
Ed Zwilling, head of the advanced drive train team at Cat and the man in charge of designing the hybrid dozer's power train, said diesel-electric has advantages.
A big one is 60 percent fewer parts, which simplifies manufacturing and maintenance.
"We expect the D7E drive train to have a 50 percent longer life than the D7R it replaces, plus it has better performance than the D7R," he said.
"Our goal when we started this project was 10 to 30 percent less fuel consumption along with 25 percent more work performed from each unit of fuel that is consumed. Our customers since 2009 tell us they're getting better numbers than that."
Cat has built diesel generator sets for decades. The C9 diesel engine spins a 480 volt AC generator, and the power is converted to 650 volts DC, a common voltage level in the industry. The generator and electric motors are designed by Cat.
Electricity flows to a solid state inverter that sends power to the final drive system. The final drive consists of two electric motors feeding into a common mechanical gearing unit that powers the differential steering system. The two motors behave as if they are one.
Unlike train locomotives or the Spirit Autonomous Tractor that appeared in North Dakota last month, the D7E uses mechanical differential gearing to transfer torque from electric motors to the ground. The D7E does not use electric motors to drive the tracks directly.
Instead, power is transferred mechanically via axles to the left and right, double-reduction final drives. The electric motors serve as an interface between the output of the diesel crankshaft and the input shaft of the differential steering system.
"We kept the differential steering system. Because of the high torque loads, I don't think you could use direct drive from electric motors in a tractor like this," Zwilling said.
"If you look at heavy duty electric drive mining and industrial machines, they all run the power through gears."
He said Cat customers also say they are accustomed to the feel of the differential steer system and want the same feel in any new drive system.
Zwilling said safety was one of the chief design requirements in the new tractor, considering that 650 volts are surging just below the operator's seat.
Current flows through special armoured cables and military grade connectors to help guarantee the operator's safety.
"We know our dozers often work in fairly deep water, so every connection is water tight," he said.
"During the development, we had these machines working in the ocean doing beach front reclamation. Every component was running in salt water, working long hours without a problem."
The D7E is not a pure diesel-electric system, but routing power through the electric motors provides smooth, infinitely variable force at the tracks and eliminates the need for a transmission. There are no gears or shifting tricks that new operators need to learn.
The D7E does not use hydraulic pumps or hydraulic motors to move power. The abundance of electricity means no belts or gear drives are used for the air conditioning, heating, water pumps and battery charger. The electrical system runs all ancillaries.
Engineers know that powering equipment with electricity eliminates the hydraulic oil, filters and heat exchangers associated with mechanical and hydraulic drive. It's also more convenient. If it's necessary to drive a motor or activate a lever, simply route a wire.
Electricity is easier to regulate than hydraulic and mechanical power to meet power demands of the job. It also reduces noise and vibration. The cab on the D7E is 50 percent quieter than the previous D7R.
However, the factor that may be more significant is that a smooth electric motor is gentler on all the mechanical components in the drive system because there are no sudden power surges, power gaps or clunks.
Caterpillar says electric drive simplifies operator training and makes life easier on veteran drivers because much of the lurching is gone. It's easier to operate because the best torque is in the electric motor's lower r.p.m. range.
In the conventional D7R, the C9 engine stretched from 1,600 to 2,200 r.p.m. to cope with torque and r.p.m. demands of the tractor.
However, when coupled to a generator, the same engine operates in the comfortably narrow working band of 1,500 to 1,800 r.p.m., where it is most efficient.
Because drive speed and torque are now precisely controlled by the electric motor, the diesel doesn't need to drop down to low lugging r.p.m. or wind up to higher r.p.m.
Serviceability is another factor. Tractors that rack up big hours on the shop clock obviously spend less time on the work site.
The cab tilts up and out of the way to the right side of the machine, giving technicians easy access.
Zwilling said Cat is evaluating other machines with diesel-electric drive train possibilities. The drive train should have a good fit in many other types of tractors if it can stand up to the rigors of dozer work.
When asked if Cat will introduce a diesel/electric Challenger in the near future, Zwilling said the company's diesel/electric system is now a proven technology.
"I'm not at liberty to talk about our transmission strategy," he added. "I can only say that we continue to work with Agco and their group in the transmission area."

Man charged in child abuse case
A Mukilteo man whose girlfriend was recently convicted of starving and beating his younger sister has now been charged with the same crimes.
Derron Alexis, 43, was charged Oct. 29 with first-degree criminal mistreatment of his 10-year-old adopted sister. Police waited until after his live-in girlfriend was convicted to charge him in the case. He has not been arrested.
Prosecutors allege Alexis beat the girl with a belt and withheld food, medical attention and other basic necessities of life.
The girl was so severely malnourished when she was removed from the couple's home that she weighed only 51 pounds. She was also covered in bruises, scars and had an open wound.
Police took her from the home last year after two store clerks called Child Protective Services over their concerns for the girl. She spent two weeks recovering at Providence hospital in Everett.
Doctors said the girl had almost no body fat, and that her body had started to metabolize her muscles for energy.
In addition to "severe malnutrition," doctors reported the girl had a kidney infection, that her body was covered with bruises, abrasions, scars and ulcers. They also said she had cigarette burns and "whip cord" marks on her body.
Though she initially denied being mistreated, the child later told investigators of the "hundreds of times" she was neglected and abused by both Alexis and his girlfriend Mary Mazalic.
In September, a jury convicted Mazalic, 35, of first-degree assault and first-degree criminal mistreatment of the girl, as well as of tampering of a witness.
She remains in jail and faces decades in prison when she is sentenced later this month.
The girl said her brother had beaten her with a wire and a belt, according to court papers filed recently. She said that he was present when Mazalic assaulted her. She also told investigators that they both would taunt her by eating in front of her.
The child had withheld that information from investigators initially because she said she cared about her brother and he was part of her family, wrote Snohomish County Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Lisa Paul.
Paul said she believed it was in the best interest of the case to wait to file the charge against Alexis until after Mazalic was prosecuted.
"It wasn't until after the trial that the prosecutor ultimately made that decision," said Mukilteo Detective Lance Smith. "We had had discussions about it."
"They were both responsible for the care of the young girl, and they both failed her, so I think that they both should be charged and face a jury," he added.
Alexis is expected to be arraigned next month in Snohomish County Superior Court.
Prosecutors also allege that Alexis and his mother visited the girl when she was hospitalized last year. The girl's adoptive mother reportedly told her not to say anything bad about Alexis to authorities, court papers said.
The woman had sent the girl from New York to live with her adoptive brother and Mazalic in 2010.
The girl is developmentally delayed, and it was determined she needed to be placed in special education classes, but the family had not wanted that, court papers said.
Mazalic and Alexis enrolled the girl in the fourth grade in Mukilteo without telling anyone at the school about her special needs.
Alexis reportedly told investigators that he and Mazalic both took care of the girl. He said he was involved in disciplining the child and was familiar with her eating schedule, Paul wrote. He also told police that she was well fed.
He worked nights but often was home in the morning while his sister was getting ready for school, court papers said.
The child told investigators that Alexis sometimes told Mazalic to feed her. She said he also sometimes gave her "some bad oatmeal, not really cooked," Paul wrote.
She said Alexis usually beat her with her clothes on, and Mazalic beat her with her clothes off.
Prosecutors also allege that Alexis failed to get the girl medical attention. His mother sent medication with the girl when she moved to Washington.
Alexis reportedly told police that when the medication ran out, instead of taking the child to a doctor, they gave her medication to someone else, Paul wrote.
Prosecutors also said there is evidence that Alexis lied to a state agency about the time he spent in the home.
Mazalic received state disability assistance and needed a caregiver in her home. Alexis was listed as Mazalic's formal caregiver and reportedly told the agency that he never left her alone.
An agency worker didn't know the girl was living there and never met her.
"Had the worker known that a child was being left in the home with Ms. Mazalic, alone, she would not have allowed it because in her opinion Ms. Mazalic did not have the patience to be around children," Paul wrote.
It was noted many times that Mazalic was abusive toward the caseworker during annual visits.

While obviously being useful for many reasons, preseason in pro sports can become a real drag by the time it's almost over.
Sure, preseason camp is great for raising your fitness level, fine-tuning your technical skills and jelling as a team on the field ahead of the regular season. But it can get monotonous, especially when you're cooped up in a team hotel with the same people for weeks at a time.
How do teams spice things up? Well, some playfully haze the rookies, others play ping-pong, more teams play ping-pong, these guys watch Olympic hockey and then there's the Seattle Sounders.
We can only speculate, but surely goalkeeper Marcus Hahnemann, the man's man of outdoorsmen, was behind the team's afternoon paintballing outing on Monday.

RICHFIELD, Minn., April 4 (UPI) -- A company that sends 40 billion e-mails a year confirmed U.S. consumers associated with many of its corporate clients have had e-mail addresses pilfered.
The firm Epsilon, which helps firms market through e-mail, said "a subset" of its clients' customer data were exposed by an unauthorized entry its e-mail system, allowing the hacker access to names and e-mail addresses, but no other data.
Disney, one of the companies reporting it was caught up in the incident, said millions of its customers' e-mail addresses had been stolen as Disney Destination's marketing database had been compromised.
Huliq reported Monday several other corporations had begun informing consumers their e-mail addresses had been pirated. Huliq said Epsilon confirmed the customer lists from Capital One, US Bank, JP Morgan Chase, Walgreens, Brookstone, Home Shopping Network and many others had been breached.
The list also includes Citi, Tivo, Ritz-Carton Rewards, Marriott Rewards, New York & Co., The College Board, McKinsey & Co., Ameriprise Financial, Kroger and LL Bean Visa Card.
U.S. retail giant Best Buy said "the e-mail addresses of some Bust Buy customers were accessed without authority," but that no data concerning credit cards had been taken.
Best Buy said it was "actively investigating," Epsilon's claim that "no other information is at risk." But the retailer warned customers to be on the alert "to any unusual or suspicious e-mails."
"As our experts at Geek Squad would tell you, be very cautious when opening links or attachments from unknown senders," the firm said in a statement.
Epsilon, which helps corporations market through e-mails, sends 40 billion e-mails per year, most of them promotional in nature.
A breach of e-mail addresses leaves consumers vulnerable to "phishing" fraud in which the hackers send e-mails that look like they are from a credible source, but then ask for confirmation on more critical information, such as credit card numbers.
The e-mail may also ask a consumer to visit a bogus company site, where they are instructed to confirm other information or make a purchase using a credit card number or bank account number.

Profile: Anwar Ibrahim, Malaysia's fallen heir
Dramatic fall from grace for Awar
By BBC Asia Analyst, Angie Knox
Five years after becoming deputy prime minister - and first in line to succeed Prime Minister Mahathir Mohammad - Anwar Ibrahim found himself out of a job and facing a police investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct.
The charges brought against him led to a highly-charged trial lasting several months which culminated in a verdict finding him guilty of corruption.
Mr Anwar had been seen as a likely successor to Prime Minister Mahathir Mohammad, but there had been growing tensions between the two leaders, particularly over economic policy.
Mr Anwar himself says there has been a conspiracy within the government to unseat him and he certainly has his enemies.
During that meeting, Dr Mahathir strengthened his control of the party, despite a public attack on cronyism and nepotism by one of Mr Anwar's allies.
Price of ambition
Analysts saw the attack as an indirect bid by Mr Anwar to consolidate his own position. If so, it failed. Mr Anwar may have paid the price for his ambition.
Abroad, he has been seen as the rational face of the Malaysian leadership as it grappled with the country's worst economic crisis.
Dr Mahathir may not have been too pleased to see his deputy featured on the covers of international news magazines and hailed as Malaysia's saviour.
Allies sidelined
In the weeks after the Umno meeting, Anwar's allies found themselves sidelined.
Two newspaper editors resigned, top officials of the central bank stepped down, and Anwar found his responsibilities for economic recovery assigned to Daim Zainuddin, a close associate of the prime minister.
It was just a matter of time before Anwar himself had to go.
After 16 years in power, the 72-year-old prime minister shows no signs of giving up. He has said he'll stay on to see the economic crisis through.

It starts out leaking a tiny bit out the weep hole in cold weather, and that leak drips on the belt which then flings it upwards. So sooner or later I'm in for a big repair bill, unless the problem can hold out a few weeks till warm weather arrives, then a friend of mine can do it (it's a 3 hour job to change it so it's not something you want to do in cold weather)

There's something strangely comforting in SNK's Metal Slug series. A reliable standby for old-school gamers, the franchise hasn't changed a bit since debuting in the mid-90's. Other franchises have made the jump to 3D and added different gameplay elements, but Metal Slug has stood stoic in the face of time and technology. Sure, new characters have been introduced -- along with new weaponry and even bigger bosses to take on -- but by and large each addition to the franchise has had the same 2D sprite-based graphical frantic action we've been enjoying since the first Metal Slug hit arcades and pizza parlors worldwide.
Metal Slug XX represents the latest iteration in the long-running shooter series, and delivers what you'd expect. As a matter of fact, if you picked up Metal Slug 7 for the Nintendo DS when it launched about a year and half ago, you can stop reading now, as this is little more than a port of that game, albeit on Sony's handheld and with added co-op play through ad-hoc. If you're a hardcore fan of the series and PSP owner who missed out on the game's DS version, then this game could be right up your alley.
If you've never heard of Metal Slug (which would mean a) you don't like pizza b) are new to gaming or c) have been living under a rock for the past 14 years), the series is a run and gun shooter in the vein of Contra. You take on herds of enemies with a variety of weapons and several vehicles sprinkled in like tanks, planes, and the occasional bipedal mech, rescue POWs, and blow gigantic bosses to kingdom come. The action unfolds exclusively on a 2D plane, and you'll run from one end of the stage to the other laying waste to anything that gets into your path. Your character isn't terribly strong and the game works on a one-hit-kill mechanic, meaning that you'll die. A lot. There is certainly no shortage of action in the Metal Slug franchise, which has always been its main appeal.
And, boy, what action it is. You'll face off against myriad foes, ranging from run-of-the-mill foot soldiers to heavy weapons like missile launchers and crazy mechanical bosses. One section of the game has a waterfall raining tanks on you as you avoid them in order to get to the next section. You read that right; tanks! The gameplay controls well too, never laggy or overly frustrating.
While the challenge level may be ramped up substantially from other action games on the market (the game also offers up a few different difficulty modes), even newcomers should have no problem completing the game even on their first playthrough, due to unlimited continues. Continuing will pop you right back into the action where your character died off, with the only difference between losing a life and using a continue being a slight delay in the action the chance to change to another character.
The game boasts several different characters, allowing you to switch between six soldiers on your mission, each one with their own specific boost to bring to the table. Depending on who you choose, you'll get such perks as special melee attacks for when enemies get too close, increased grenade capacity, or even invulnerability to one shot. However, considering the fast pace and overall intensity of the game, these additions are fairly negligible, and the "shoot anything that moves" strategy will be your go-to one regardless of who you choose.
One added bonus over the DS iteration of the PSP game is the addition of ad-hoc co-op play, a feature sorely lacking in the former. This is how the game is meant to be played, as adding in a buddy adds to the fun substantially. However, the lack of full online play via infrastructure is a bummer.
Aside from that, the differences between this and Metal Slug 7 are modest at best. The PSP game doesn't fully support the added real estate of the PSP's 16:9 screen, and playing in fullscreen mode results in the graphics appearing too stretched for some gamers' tastes. Fortunately, there is an option to play the game in 4:3, which allows the aesthetic to appear as it was meant to look, but you'd think with the year and a half gap between this and the DS version that the developers would've been able to beef it up properly to the wider screen.
Metal Slug XX is a fine addition to the franchise, giving hardcore legions of fans what they've come to want and love from the series. However, those expecting to see the franchise branch out and change up the formula will be disappointed.

For the past two years, Maybach Music Group has produced some of the game's hottest new artists. Continuing the success that the DMV's Wale and Philly's Meek Mill received from stellar debuts underneath the imprint, a new voice from the MMG camp is ready to extend its dominance on rap.
Rockie Fresh is an artist who appeared on our top 10 hip-hop artists to watch in 2013 list for a good reason. The college kid-turned rapper adds another fresh perspective to a label that prides itself on versatility.
The 21-year-old Chicago rapper held a private listening session last night for his upcoming mixtape Electric Highway in New York City and left listeners impressed. Rockie briefly addressed the audience and spoke about "wanting to do something different" with this project.
The 3D Visual Listening Experience was anything but ordinary as the audience listened and watched the production.
theGrio briefly caught up with Rockie Fresh to discuss his new mixtape, Chicago violence, and what he's learned so far from the MMG family .
theGrio: How has signing to MMG helped you to grow as an artist?
My work ethic. The work ethic over there and the amount of records that Ross is recording, the amount of projects that Wale and Meek have put out, as well as Omarion and Stalley. These dudes are hard workers and you can see that on a consistent basis, so when I got my deal I really turned up my work ethic.
What inspired you to release your music with an added visual element?
I learned a lot from movies. I dropped out of college but a big part of music is vocabulary and I learned that mostly from watching movies instead of school. With me being a visual person and having a different style, I felt like people would receive my message better if I added visuals. I wanted people to be able to see what they were hearing.
Electric Highway sonically seems to have a vintage 80's feel- was that your objective?
Yes, I have a huge respect for the past. I think people appreciate the substance from back then. Also, I think life in Chicago now is in some ways similar to how I hear it was in the 80s. I really wanted to pay homage to the things I learned growing up.
With the overwhelming amount of murders occurring in Chicago right now, how important is it represent yourself well within your music?
I really just try to lead by example and make positive music that motivates young people to do different things. I talk about that in my records, I say "you don't always have to move violent, you can move silent". I think there's a mindset that when you're being positive that means you have to be lame and corny and I really want to represent something different.
What are your personal expectations for this year?
I plan to do Electric Highway Tour Pt. II this year and I want to get an even stronger turn out than last year. Also, I want to get started working on my album. I have a lot of big plans for what I want my album to sound like, the feel that I want it to have, and I pray that listeners appreciate this music enough so I can really focus on doing that.
Be sure to check out Electric Highway, which is set for online release January 21st, 2013.

How do you see it? What drew you to it?
There are only your answers, no right or wrong ones. Please share!
Views: 176
I see it as another program to verify improved performance of the existing infrastructure without the membership cost such as LEED or Passive House. What really drew me in was the opportunity to get recognized for the work we have been performing on our home and to use it to be shown as a leader and expert in the sibject.
Thanks, Joshua. In essence you said the 1000 Home Challenge is an opportunity for both residents and service providers. Both receive recognition, the latter gain credibility, as well.
Thanks for your response Joshua, Many of our projects have home owners who are energy professionals, and I think your response resonates with them.

New York City Whittles "Taxi of Tomorrow" List To Three
New York City now has three finalists for the "Taxi of Tomorrow" — Ford, Nissan and Karsan. Of course, given the RFP's "if any" stipulation, NYC might decide to just stick with what they've got. We vote for that. [NYC]

Thinking of making a white chocolate raspberry cake. I like the idea of making a raspberry cloud cream filling, and using a thin layer of raspberry filling in there too. I'm thinking of using the WC creamy dreamy frosting on the outside, and then using this HUGE batch of white chocolate I have to decorate the outside.. like those WC cigarettes.
Cake suggestions? White chocolate whisper? Genioise? Biscuit savoie? I wanted a really light cake, nothing dense.

So a few weeks ago I signed up for something called Blog Angel through Craftbotic. I'm always looking for fun new bloggy things to do and this seemed like so much fun. It's all about spreading the bloggy love and meeting new followers and blogs. Basically, we're anonymously paired with another blog to comment and befriend, and then at the halfway point (which is today), we get to reveal ourselves and really get to know our angel!
Happy Reveal Day!!!
So...for the last two weeks, I've been following The Sapphire Bee.
Brittany owns a shop called The Sapphire Bee and she sells some awesome, fun, quirky jewelry.
You can check out her shop HERE.
The Sapphire Bee celebrates a love for fashionable living with modern pieces that have a twist of Victorian flare. First conceptualized in 2010 with my official online boutique launching in late 2011 as my entrepreneurial spirit and love for the handmade movement grew. Armed with an appreciation for designer brands, creative styling and affordable DIY fashion I have created an inspired collection of eclectic accessories. What started as a hobby quickly grew and as dreams cultivate and change, the ideals that The Sapphire Bee were founded on stay the same -- a girl lovingly hand-making beautiful accessories for everyone to enjoy.
I've basically just been reading along and commenting here and there...you know, trying to get a feel of her blog. It's so much fun. She lives in California (jealous) and posts all about her shop, recipes, life, etc. It's a great all around little bloggy! Since this is my first blog angel experience, I was honestly a little intimidated about the process and making sure I was doing it right! Well...I have to say it was really easy! I'm really looking forward to getting to know Brittany a little more now that the secret's out!

The Redskins held their final practice before they host the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday and hope to snap their five game losing streak.
Redskins Head Coach Mike Shanahan said Santana Moss (hand), Keyaron Fox (knee infection) & Niles Paul (turf toe) are all out Sunday. Jammal Brown (groin), Sean Locklear (ankle), Maurice Hurt (knee), LaRon Landry (Achilles) are questionable for Dallas.
If Maurice Hurt can't go Sunday, then newly signed OL Tyler Polumbus will likely start at guard.
Listen here to what Mike Shanahan had to say today about injuries, game time decisions, playing a team you've already played this season and a lot more.

Season for Cubs starter Silva likely over
Season for Cubs starter Silva likely over
The right-hander has not pitched since Sept. 7 and missed his next scheduled start five days later because of a right elbow strain. He's simply running out of time.
"The thought of him getting built up in time for the last series -- you never rule anything out -- but it would be very tough," Cubs manager Mike Quade said Thursday. "My way of thinking is to just monitor him carefully. To rush somebody back for no apparent reason as opposed to getting him completely healthy would not make much sense to me. We'll continue his throwing program."
Silva has not thrown a side session since Sept. 12. He would need time to build up to 70, 80 pitches and the Cubs have 11 games remaining.
"He's been around long enough and he's smart enough to know what you want and what you're capable of are two different things," Quade said. "In the next six, seven days of work, it'll tell him what he's capable of doing. If he's healthy, I'm sure he'd like to pitch. It's not time for me to get involved until we see a healthy side and maybe a simulated game."
If he's done, Silva finishes 10-6 with a 4.22 ERA in 21 starts, an improvement over his two previous seasons with the Mariners when he was a combined 5-18 in 36 games, including 34 starts.

Mark sat there and listened the the three exchange conversation. Lucia was yelling at Issac about proper manners and how she felt about his pokemon acting like that. Mark was inclined to agree but he felt maybe this was a bit harsh. He liked a good prank every now and then but even he was a bit urked having his leftovers spoiled by Trapinch puke. Mark pinched between his eyes, a tad irritated.
"Ya know, you seem to be going by a pretty rotten stereotype Issac. I happen to be friends with a few Suicuiners that actually did work pretty hard to get to where they're at. Sure there's a few stuck up types but some of em aren't so bad." Mark said.
"And dude, its called common courtesy. I personally don't like having my dinner spoiled like its not a big deal. I don't think it called for a speech. For cripes sake you two don't need to make a scene out of this." Mark said.
Snype sat there a bit relieved something else had Roberto's attention and sat silently, not wanting to exactly get involved.
Meanwhile Able was ignoring the arguements going on and continued talking to Tyro.
"Hah, running? You'd never beat me kiddo. I'd be back in my trainer's dorm and back here before you could blink!" She said as she zipped next to him cheek to cheek.
"You wouldn't even know if I was next to you." She said as she zipped behind him once more.

Ryan Mason: I'm ready to battle Dele Alli and Mousa Dembele for starting spot
Two seasons ago, Mason and Nabil Bentaleb were core members of Spurs' midfield racking up 57 appearances between them.
But a combination of injuries and the emergence of Dele Alli and Mousa Dembele left the pair with a reduced role in the side.
Now Mason says the pair will go into the off-season with a clean slate and will fight to regain their spots.
Speaking as part of the Farah menswear #MatchReady campaign, Mason said: "Two seasons ago me and Nabil started almost every game together in midfield and last season it was different.

Environment and the Economy Subcommittee Passes Legislation to Improve Hazardous Waste Reporting Process – Could Save Over $100 Million Annually
WASHINGTON, DC – The Subcommittee on Environment and the Economy today approved S. 710, the Hazardous Waste Electronic Manifest Establishment Act, as amended. The legislation, which passed the Senate unanimously last summer, is a commonsense solution that will modernize the way the federal government and states track the shipment of hazardous waste. The legislation calls for replacing the current paper-based tracking system with an electronic system, which would help reduce paper work, streamline processes, and eliminate government waste. The transition to an electronic tracking system could save over $100 million annually. The subcommittee previously held a hearing on electronic reporting in mid-June.
"In the electronic age, the burdens and inefficiencies created by the existing system for both government and the private sector are real and must be addressed," stated subcommittee Chairman John Shimkus (R-IL). "Besides the cost reductions for waste handlers, states, and the federal government, there are other key benefits to an e-manifest system. These include real-time access to critical public safety and security information for first responders, better tracking services for our citizens, improved data for informed policy decisions and program management, and greater accountability for how hazardous wastes are transported and managed."
Full committee Chairman Fred Upton (R-MI) added, "This bill does not reduce the information requirement – it makes it work better. With electronic filing, we will eliminate millions of paper copies and reduce expenses and labor."
The subcommittee approved the legislation by voice vote after adopting an amendment in the nature of a substitute that preserves the essential features of S. 710 while converting the bill from "mandatory" to "discretionary" spending in line with the House's cut-go guidelines. By funding the system with user fees, the bill creates no cost for taxpayers.

A Fylde man whose wife was left with serious injuries after a horror crash at a notorious accident blackspot has today called for urgent improvements.
David Thompson, 30, of St Davids Road North, St Annes, revealed his wife, Chelsea, 26, was "lucky to be alive" after a collision between the couple's Renault Megane and a Ford Transit van at the junction of St Davids Road North and St Leonards Road last week.
Mr Thompson said doctors were astonished by the severity of his wife's injuries, adding they were similar to a pedestrian being hit by a car.
He has now urged authorities to improve the road layout to stop anyone else being seriously hurt.
Mr Thompson said: "Considering the extent of the damage done to the vehicle no-one understands how Chelsea is still alive. "Something needs to be done about this junction – I've lost count of the number of accidents. What will it take for something to be done about it? No-one is listening – all the neighbours are sick and tired.
"Chelsea has broken her hip bone, pelvic bone and pubic bone as well as suffering whiplash and cuts and bruises – she is going to be in hospital for weeks, if not months.
"Doctors have said the extent of the damage done to her is normally the sort of thing a pedestrian would receive.
"They have never seen injuries like this from someone inside a car. The council needs to do something about it – the amount of accidents at this junction is ridiculous."
Police, fire and ambulance crews were called to the incident around 7.50am on August 20, with firefighters forced to remove the roof of the couple's car to free Chelsea, who was taken to Blackpool Victoria Hospital for treatment.
The junction has been notorious for accidents for many years, with motorists failing to spot stop signs at St Leonards Road and driving through on to traffic in St Davids Road North.
Recent crashes include three this summer, two accidents in two weeks last May, two accidents in two days in June 2011 and five accidents in a three-month period in 2009.
Mr Thompson said recent safety measures, including the use of bollards, stop signs and road markings had not done enough to improve the situation. He added: "I think they need to shut the bridge at one end. Traffic lights would not work and neither would a roundabout.
"The best thing to do would be to block the road and turn it into a T-junction."
Ward Coun Tony Ford said he knows of at least 12 accidents at the junction in his six years as a councillor – with many more going unreported to police.
He said: "I think it could be something done quickly and would help to prevent these incidents."
Karen Cassar, Lancashire County Council highways and traffic manager for Fylde, said: "We have made a number of improvements to traffic signs and lines at this junction and, in recent months, have also added bollards to make as clear as we reasonably can that traffic approaching from St Leonards Road East must give way.
"We'll consider the police report on the circum- stances of this latest accident and whether any further action may be needed."
Police confirmed they had spoken to both drivers about the incident.
