Killeen's newly elected city council showed its first signs of division Tuesday night in considering a rezoning request for a large residential and commercial development in south Killeen.
After much discussion, an initial motion to disapprove a rezoning request made by a development company owned by Gary Purser Jr. failed 3-4. The request was then approved in a 4-3 vote with no council members switching their votes.
The request from RSBP Developers, Inc. was one of two that came before the council in Tuesday's regular meeting. The one in question involved a 41.7-acre site on the east side of State Highway 195 just south of Stan Schlueter Loop.
Councilman Terry Clark led the bulk of the discussion against the request. Though several Purser-owned developments surrounding the proposed development were previously rezoned in line with what the company requested Tuesday, Clark said he felt the council could send developers a message with a vote against the zoning request.
"I think this is an opportunity to do something against the rank and file," Clark said.
Clark's main concern was with the request for a lax zoning request for the commercial portion of the development. His concern was eventually allayed with the approval of a more restrictive local business district zoning for about 6 acres of the development.
Clark also noted that construction already had begun on roads for the development, something he said was presumptuous.
Other council members voiced concerns that approving another large residential development would create a surplus in housing inventory that would adversely affect owners of existing homes.
Councilman Jonathan Okray said that flooding the market with new houses could create problems for soldiers if federal cuts to the military go through as proposed at the start of next year. Any repurposing of Fort Hood that leads to a reduction in troops could lead to saturation in the local housing market.
It would place soldiers in direct competition with home builders, he said. "Soldiers went bankrupt" when the 4th Infantry Division left Fort Hood, he said.
Councilwoman Elizabeth Blackstone also objected to the rezoning, noting that she had seen several undeveloped lots and unsold homes in neighboring subdivisions, most of which were also developed by Purser-owned ventures.
But Councilman Jose Segarra, a Realtor, said he had seen a recent rise in property values and believed that the houses were necessary.
Mayor Dan Corbin also spoke on the issue. Corbin, a lawyer, said he worried that any disapproval of a subdivision would create a precedent for future disapprovals of all proposed developments.
"I question that this is a moratorium on new building in the city of Killeen," he said.
Blackstone, Clark and Okray voted against the rezoning. Mayor Pro Tem Michael Lower, Segarra, Councilmen Wayne Gilmore and Jared Foster voted in favor.
Clark later made a motion to approve another, smaller rezoning request made by Purser's company that passed unanimously.
Clark said he made the motion in the spirit of showing that each zoning request has different merits for approval or disapproval.
In total, the council approved nine requests in a backlog of items that came before the Planning and Zoning Committee while the council had no quorum, clearing a backlog of pending requests.

A flock of strange, crested birds flapped jerkily, like tired oarsmen, westward from England to the Newfoundland Coast. They dropped to land, some to die immediately bundles of white, bay and bottle green feathers. Some capered crazily on their spindly legs, soon to die with broad, round wing outstretched in a last flap and necks outstretched like architectural ornaments. A few lived. They were lapwings, whose eggs ("plovers' eggs") British gourmets find piquant. Only in isolated cases had lapwings before been seen in North America. They are natives of northern Europe and...

Chapter 21 : Old Meetings, Insane Boyfriends and Showdowns
|Rating: Mature
|Chapter Reviews: 5
Background: Font color:
I turn to search for the source of the yell and grin when I find him. I wave back at the boy who is waving frantically at me down the road before jogging towards him. As soon as I reach him, he pulls me into a gigantic bear hug, nearly crushing me, before planting a kiss on my lips.
"Henry!" I splutter as he lets go of me. "You're fucking killing me."
"Oh my God, Kat! I missed you so much!" he yelps as he takes my hand and pulls me over to the table he had reserved in the restaurant next to us. It's a little deli on the end of a street; it's crowded, full of people rushing about to get to where they need to go. Hundreds of busy people, yelling and chatting and muttering on the phone; perfect really- we can discuss things without being overheard. Much too loud.
We normally go to our favourite little restaurant, but Henry insisted this place was the place to be. I'm not sure why: it's a little old and shabby, and dusty (from the road I suppose). The name of the place is unreadable- the plastic, cheesy letters have dropped off or are hanging upside down.
"I missed you too, Henry," I grin and sit opposite him.
He leans forward and rests his chin on his cupped hands. Then he tilts his head to one side. "I believe you and I have a lot to discuss."
"Yes, I believe we do. But, please, Hen, before we start talking about me, tell me all about what you've been up to.
He breaks into a dazzling smile and launches into another story.
I suppose I should explain. Henry is a Muggle- our next door neighbour actually. He was my best friend before I went off to Hogwarts- we attended primary school together. He knows about Hogwarts.
He's skinny but somewhat muscular and quite tall: he has a dancer's build (ballet dancing, dear). He's very well groomed though: his blonde hair is perfectly gelled into a slick comb over that he can flick any time he wants. Hen has elfish features- pointy ears, a longish upturned nose: that sort of thing. He's wearing tight cherry red jeans- that must be cutting off the circulation to his legs- and a cheesy t-shirt with the line written across it: "Made you look".
Told you it was cheesy.
And let's just say he was my guinea pig before I knew I was a witch and control my powers. Minor things of course- nothing big that got the Ministry's attention. No-one ever bothered to Oblivate him. We write to each other most of the time, and make the effort to meet up every chance we get.
"Anyway, I met this gorgeous waiter here last week. Why do you think I brought you here? Well, it was a little awkward, really, a date brought me here and then this waiter was flirting with me-"
"Ooh. Date, eh? Who was it?"
Henry makes a face. "Do you remember Sam? You know, Malodorous Malcolm from primary? Yeah, he convinced me to go on this date-"
"Malodorous Malcolm's gay?" I exclaim and sit forward.
You can tell we were nerds from the word go. We didn't go for the easy nick-names like: Manky Malcolm or something like that. Oh no, we went for malodorous.
"Gay as anyone can get, dear. Well, I don't know if you can get gayer than me… Yeah, well this new waiter- he's young and hot! Like, seriously, Kat. Hot to trot, my friend. Anyway, he was totally gay- so much gel in his hair, Kat, and the obsession with dicky bows and ties? Carwyn he's called- Welsh. I know, who knew a boy with such a thick Welsh accent could be attractive? Yeah, well I got his number- after the date, of course. I came back. So we went out and, he's clever too Kat! Like, he wants to do medicine. He's gonna be a rich surgeon. I mean, bonus!"
If you haven't got it already (you must be a bit slow), Henry's gay. He's more girly than Dom. And I love him for it.
"Oh my God, Kat, he's over there!" Henry cries, gesturing with a nod of his head towards a boy who looks around 18. He's stood over a table, taking another group's orders, but he spots us and smiles at both of us and winks at Henry. Henry meanwhile blushes bright red.
The boy is actually very striking- some mightn't say he was good looking. With his long face and rather long features, he's quite strange looking, but I'd say he was beautiful. He's quite tanned with dark brown hair slicked back (oh Merlin, I can see the gel from here) and a blue spotty dicky bow tied around his neck.
"I see what you mean, Hen," I mutter, winking at him knowingly. "Good catch."
Henry grins cheekily back. "Don't I know it."
Another young waitress comes up to us and takes our order. She quickly leaves and we settle back down.
"Now," Henry says as he leans further forward. "Tell me about you. You called an emergency meet-up? What's going on with that hot to trot darling you call your boyfriend. Please tell me he's gay."
I roll my eyes. "He told me he loved me."
Henry's eyes glint and he sits forward so he's practically lying on the table. Well, he doesn't do gymnastics for nothing. "No way."
"Yes way."
"Holy shit."
"I know."
"What did you say?"
"Well he kissed me just as the New Year came."
"And then what did you do?"
"Stood there gawping like a fish and then ran off."
"You idiot."
"I know. I shouldn't be allowed of my padded cell in a mental hospital."
"Well, what have you been doing since?"
"Avoiding him. I went home the next day, mum got back. Sort of avoided him for the last four days."
Henry opens his mouth to say something, but at that moment, the waitress returns carrying our meals. An uneasy silence settles upon us, made awkward by the fumbling waitress. As soon as she leaves, Henry grabs his knife and, after waving it threateningly at me, stabs his steak.
"Kat, you need to tell him you love him back! No-one wants to be the sucker who tells their girlfriend they love them and they don't love him back!" Henry says, exasperated.
"But… I don't love him. At least, not yet." I whisper.
He leans back his chair and folds his arms. "Ah."
"It's been- what?- two months and a bit? I mean, sure, people say it way earlier but Merlin!" I cry desperately.
Henry sighs. "Look, I know couple who say I love you after two days, never mind two months. It's sweet he waited two months." He looks at me and takes a deep breath. "Okay, you listen here and you listen close, Kat. This boy obviously is head over heels for you. It took every ounce of his courage to say this, and he genuinely means it. Okay, you might not love him yet, but will you love him? If you don't think you will, end it. Don't be a bitch and lead him on."
I cry out, offended. "Hey! I will love him. I mean, at least I think I will… And I'm not leading him on. I genuinely like him."
"So you're not just using him as a way to get over Albus?"
"What?! No! Of course not!" I practically yell.
Henry studies me and then leans back, satisfied. "Okay, obviously from your reaction, you're not. But do you still like Albus? What's going on between him and that Sarah girl?"
Henry is the only person I've told about my feelings for Albus- and only because he doesn't attend Hogwarts. He's met Albus and Rose, and they find him hilarious. Well, not so much Albus- I think he gets freaked out by the constant checking out he receives from Hen. He's a bit of a manslag.
I drop my head onto the table and begin banging it quietly. "Fuck if I know Hen."
I lift my head up and the surrounding couples and whatnot all look somewhat alarmed, but Henry just looks slightly amused.
"Okay, you do. But I'll let you off. Albus seems like one fine piece of ass too. What did he do at the party?"
"Fine piece of ass, eh? How very American of you, Henry."
"Darling, this is the 21st century. Now stop changing the subject!" Henry snaps his fingers together impatiently and leans back, crossing his legs.
"He danced with me," I whisper.
He sucks in his cheeks. "Oh dear, oh dear. Dreams come true, at exactly the wrong moment."
"That's exactly what I thought!"
"What are you going to do?" he asks, raising his eyebrows at me.
"Fuck if I know," I repeat. "Why do you think I called you?"
Henry sighs dramatically and takes my hand. He pats it somewhat patronizingly. "My dear, break it off with him if you don't love him and you don't think you will. End it if you still like Albus-"
I try to protest but he holds up a hand.
"But don't, and I repeat don't, lie and tell him you love him. That will just hurt him the most. Tell him the truth, and work on that whole falling in love thing."
I nod slowly and take in his advice. Come to think of it, it's pretty good advice.
Henry raises his eyebrows. "So what are you going to do?"
I shrug. "I'll figure something out."
Henry shakes his head sadly. "The famous last words before you do something stupid."
"Okay Scorpius. You ready?" I crack my knuckles and stare at him. He gulps and nods at me.
We're currently sat on Scorpius' bed (oo-er) in Malfoy Manor. Let me tell you, Malfoy Manor is bloody intimidating. After my lunch-date-thingy with Henry, I took a taxi to near Malfoy Manor and walked down to the house. Scorpius met me and for the last few hours, I've been teaching him everything I can think of about Rose.
I even nicked her diaries.
Scorpius' room is bloody huge. Surprisingly, it's quite welcoming- unlike the rest of the house. The Manor is rather cold and uninviting: too large and empty and echo-y to feel like home. I have the feeling he doesn't like to leave his room, or let others into it- he has three Muggle locks and a charm on it only to let someone in who knows the password.
(He made me stand well away when he muttered it).
It's weird though- I'd expect him to have a bed and that would be it, but instead he's even embraced Muggle technology. A large double bed stands grandly at one end of the room, and a huge dresser and a cupboard next to it. Near the bead is a fireplace where a bright fire is crackling. A fridge sits at the opposite end of the room, and a desk with a Muggle laptop sits on that.
When I asked if his dad is happy about the Muggle technology bit, Scorpius shrugged and threw me a fizzy drink and saying, "He doesn't know."
It's dark though- the walls are dark green and the black curtains drawn.
Surprisingly, it's extremely tidy with not a thing out of place. He even has coasters for our drinks.
"Who was Rose's first ever crush?"
"Frank Longbottom when she was in First Year because he picked up her books for her when she dropped them when Flint ran into her."
"What was her first pet?"
"A Muggle goldfish. She got it when she was six."
"What did she call it?"
"What happened to it?"
"Hugo bought a scary one. It ate Rose's."
"What was her favourite colour in Second Year?"
"Cyber pink. She watched too many Muggle rom-coms."
"What is her favourite flower?"
"Despite her name, her favourite flower is actually the tulip. She is partial to the yellow tulip."
I lean back on my bed and cup my hands behind my head. "Voila. We're done. You know practically everything about her."
Scorpius stops pacing around the room and looks up. The face that was creased with concentration just thirty seconds ago, visibly relaxes.
I grunt in reply and nudge him with my foot. "Yep!"
He turns and gapes at me. "Really? I know everything?" His voice broke on everything.
"Well, not everything. Everything I can possibly think of. There's probably plenty of things I don't know, but you'll have to find that out for yourself," I reply in a bored voice, packing up Rose's diaries.
"But I have to know everything!" Scorpius cries, his voice slightly hysterical.
Alarmed, I lift my eyes from my bag and look at him. He's staring at me, eyes wild, hair sticking up. "Scorpius, are you feeling okay?"
"No! Rose will expect me to know everything!"
I gape at him. "She won't! Trust me, Scorpius! She'll love that you've gone to the trouble of learning the little quirks, but she's not going to quiz you on them."
"How do you know?!"
"Dude, she's your girlfriend, not a quiz master. It'll be creepy if you know absolutely everything. Next you'll be watching her sleep!" I cry, slightly scared.
He looks crazed; his eyes keep darting around the room and won't focus on anything.
"Um, Scorpius? Have you drank had too much caffeine or something? Because when Tyrique has too much coffee, he goes all cranky and crazy and starts yelling weird stuff and questioning the universe and telling me the answer to everything is 42 which makes no sense and you're sort of reminding me of him now…" I trail off when I realise I'm rambling.
"Sorry." Scorpius sighs weakly and sinks back down into my bed. "It's just hard, you know? I'm going to be here for Rose, don't worry, but it's just scary. I don't know how Rose does it. And my father's giving me a pretty hard time- he did his nut as soon as Rose and her parents left."
"Yeah, he only stayed calm to piss off Ron. Childhood rivalry thing," I say wisely. When he looks at me questioningly, I grimace and say, "I eavesdropped of Harry and Ginny. Harry explained."
A somewhat awkward silence falls upon us and I shift about uncomfortably.
"Does Rose really like me?"
Startled, I blink at him. "What?"
"Does Rose actually like me? It's just, sometimes I feel she might just be keeping me around because I'm the baby's da- OW! What was that for?!" Scorpius cries indignantly as he rubs the side of his head I just hit.
"You're an idiot. No, not just an idiot. A plimpy eating, bumbling idiot. Only an idiot wouldn't be able to see that Rose is completely head over heels for you!"
Scorpius smiles slowly. "Really?"
"Jesus! Are you really only just realising this? Everyone knew you were going to get together- sexual tension an all of that!" I cry in exasperation. " I wasn't that surprised when this all happened- I mean, something like that was always going to happen. I was just surprised because, you know, it's Rose. Rose just doesn't go out and have sex and gets pregnant- I mean, that's, well, Dom!
"And she definitely likes you a lot. She wouldn't have slept with you if she didn't. She's not that sort of girl."
Scorpius smiles cheerfully to himself. Those two are sickeningly cute- I'd puke if I didn't like Rose. He bounds up and grins at me.
"I am going to be Rose's perfect boyfriend. She won't know what hit her!" Scorpius beams at me. I smile back weakly and punch the air with my hand.
"Atta boy!"
He laughs- I know, Scorpius has a sense of humour! I never knew either- and skips, skips out of the room. Come on Scorpius, are you forgetting me? I don't live here, I have no fucking clue how to get out of here. And that's a bit rude, just skipping out of the room, leaving a guest unattended.
Merlin that bo-
"I forgot!" Scorpius cries as he charges back in. Quickly, he pulls me into a hug. Suddenly, he realises what he's done and leaps back in disgust. He coughs awkwardly as I blush and cough too. Unsure what to do next, he salutes and walks backwards out of the room.
I swear that boy is a schizophrenic.
"… And then the elf said to the goblin-"
"The fuck was that?" I cry as the screams echoes through the house. Scorpius is in the middle of his the elf-and-the-goblin-in-the-tavern joke he's told before and we'd just walked into the Potter household.
All I can here is yelling and screaming and stomping. Bewildered, I stumble into the house and into the living room.
Mistake one.
"You fucking bitch!" Dom cries as she hurtles across the room. Before I blink, she slaps me across the face.
And Dom's slaps fucking kill.
"The fuck was that for?" I cry, rubbing the spot where she hit me. I watch her reach for her wand, but before I can react, it flies out of her grip.
Looking astounded, Scorpius is clutching his wand. He disarmed her. "What did you do?" he yells at me.
"Yeah, Dom! What did I do?"
"You know what you did, you pile of Hippogriff dung, you-" she cries. She looks like a bloody lioness on coffee and she bloody is about to pounce. Fortunately, Fred comes up behind her, glares at me and drags her backwards.
"What-?" I manage to yell before the living room door is flung open again by James. He looks furious and is clutching his wand. He glares at me. What in Merlin's name?
I realise all the Wotter kids are there (except Rose), glaring at me, including Albus- though he just looks bloody confused.
"I can't believe you kissed another guy!" Lily storms. "I thought you were nice!"
"I- WHAT?!" I choke. "When did I-"
"I knew I shouldn't have told I loved you! Scared you off!" James cries hysterically.
"You told her you love her? Aw, that's so darn cute!" Roxanne simpers.
"Not the time, Roxie!" Lily yells.
"You could have just told me you didn't love me back-"
"The nerve to show up here!"
"-Worse than a Blast-Ended Screwt!"
"-Should curse you right now!"
"Oh look at that!" Lily yells hysterically, drowning out the rest of the voices, gesturing to Scorpius. "You've been off doing the nasty with Rose's boyfriend!"
"Rose's boyfriend has a name you- Wait what?!" Scorpius cries indignantly, before blanching. I step away from him.
The door bangs open again and Rose is stood in the doorway, holding a massive tub of ice-cream in one hand and a spoon in the other.
"Katrina did whatnow with my whonow?" she hisses. The room goes deadly quiet.
"You think I slept with Scorpius?" I choke out, disgusted.
Scorpius looks slightly green. "I feel sick."
"Well why not? You've been off going on dates with other boys! Probably sleeping with him too!" Dom screams wildly.
"Woah guys, calm down and take some yoga breaths," Louis interrupts as he materializes behind Fred. He doesn't speak much, but he's pretty cool. He flips his blonde mop out of face and takes out his earphones before continuing. "Let's all take a breather. What's going on here?"
When everyone opens their mouths, he holds up a hand and closes his eyes. "One at a time, guys. Dom, you go first."
"James and I followed Kat-"
"You followed me?!" I interrupt, indignantly.
"Woah Kat. Bad vibes, guys, when you interrupt. Let Dom finish. Then you can have your turn," Louis tells me. He's got a quiet voice but it carries, and I find it oddly soothing. I fold my arms and let Dom continue.
"Well, she met this boy and they hugged and he kissed her and they went on a date." Dom continues and everyone hissed and glares at me.
"I genuinely have no idea what you're talking about, Dom." I say, bewildered.
"Was it definitely Katrina, Dom?" Louis says calmly. She nods sharply. "What did he look like?" he continues.
"Tall, blonde, blue-eyed-" James takes over.
"-Good looking." Dom finishes.
I gape at them both. "You mean Henry?"
"So it has a name now?" Dom spits.
"Aha! She admits to it!" Lily cries.
Rose, meanwhile throws her spoon at James angrily and Albus slaps himself in the face. "You idiots!" they cry in unison.
The rest of the Potter clan all blink in confusion.
"Henry's gay!" I cry, exasperated.
Dom clicks her tongue and tilts her head. "Explains the tight jeans…"
"Who's Henry then?" Molly pipes up.
"He's my old friend from primary school. A Muggle; we meet up in the holidays. Rose and Albus have met him." I explain and they nod to prove my point. "He's just a friend."
"Why were you snogging him then?" James yells, not satisfied.
"I didn't snog him! He kissed me when we met, didn't he? It's just his way of saying hi. Like some people do the European cheek kiss thing, some people shake hands, Henry kisses people."
"He kissed me when we met," Rose tells them as she fetches her spoon and tucks back into her ice-cream.
"And me..."Albus mutters, embarrassed.
"It doesn't mean anything. He'd kiss all of you too, if he met you." I tell them.
"Oh," is all James can say.
Dom frowns. "What were you doing with Scorpius then?"
"I still feel sick," Scorpius mutters, retching slightly.
Trying not to be offended, I say incredulously, "We're friends! We hang out! Or is that not allowed?"
"Since when have you been friends?" Lily asks, surprised.
"Since he got my best friend pregnant. We decided we must get over our prejudices and bond!" I explain, lying through my teeth. "I was, um, helping chose some baby stuff. We were looking at some things for the baby."
Scorpius nods feverously.
Well, I might have to buy some stuff to make the story work.
No-body seems to buy it until Rose sniffles a little. "Oh guys! That is so sweet! I love you!" she cries and, still clutching the ice-cream, she pulls us both into a hug.
Scorpius looks grateful and he smirks at me. Hey, he seems nice enough. I'm not going to embarrass him.
Dom sighs. She walks up to me, hugs me and says loudly, "Sorry for slapping you, Kati. You know what I get like when I pissed off. The red mark should go down in the next twenty-four hours or so."
Then she prances out of the room like nothing happened.
Each Weasley slinks back off to whatever they were doing, some flooing back home- did they just turn up for the fight?- and a couple grin at me and say stuff like, "Sorry! Knew you weren't like that." And, "Aunt Hermione has some cream for that slap mark by the way."
And this is why the Wotter family is deemed as insane.
Rose takes Scorpius' hand and drags him out of the room. I have a feeling she will get him to buy more ice-cream.
Everyone leaves until it's just James, Albus and I.
How convenient.
Albus coughs awkwardly. "So. I'm going to go now because I'm guessing, just going out on a limb here, you guys might want to talk things through and those things probably don't want to be discussed in front of me so I'm going to meet my girlfriend, my very hot girlfriend, who is waiting for me somewhere in London… Kaybyenow."
And he slinks out of the room.
See this is why I always thought we should date- we both digress. A lot.
I mean-
Aw shit. See, this is why I can't meet up with Henry. He bloody confuses everything. Even my feelings.
"So," James says, tugging at his collar.
I'll admit, I'm pissed off. I know I reacted badly but stalking me, accusing me of cheating and getting the entire family involved? Whole new low.
"I'd appreciate it if you didn't get the entire family to attack me next time you create some made-up fantasy," I say coolly, glaring a little at him.
He frowns and glares back. "Hey, you were the one who's been ignoring me since I told you a loved you."
"I wasn't ignoring you!" I cry. You know, even though I totally was.
"Don't deny it! You have been! We're going back to school in two days, and you've been avoiding me like I have the plague!" James hisses.
"Listen, I reacted badly, but there was no need to follow me. I understand how you got to that conclusion, but that was just low getting the whole family involved. They're my friends too, James." I tell him quietly.
James swallows. "I would just appreciate an answer by now."
"An answer to what?" I frown, confused.
"You know, an "I love you too" or even "I don't love you". That would be nice," James says, deadly quiet. It feels like some sort of showdown, which isn't what you want you and your boyfriend's conversations to feel like.
I have my answer all planned out, the whole spiel. The: "I-don't-want-to-say-I-love-you-because-then-it-just-sounds-like-I'm-saying-it-because-you-said-it-to-me-I-want-to-say-it-when-the-time-is-right" thing that Henry helped me plan (he wrote it on a napkin. I have it in my pocket.)
But then I look up from his little broomstick socks that I have been staring at intently for the past five minutes and up into his face. He looks so pathetic and sad and worried and-
Oh Merlin, I can't say that to him.
"I… I love you too, of course I do, James," I hear myself saying, despite my brain's protests. His previously sad face breaks into this huge beaming smile that practically lights up the whole room and he runs at me, pulling me into a hug.
Weirdly, I find myself blinking back tears as I rest my head on his shoulder.
What have I done?
My brain and mouth are not connected.
Eager to run, I pull away. "I… Of course I love you, but that was a low blow. Y-you're going to have to make that up to me, okay?"
He nods and kisses me gently.
However guilty I feel, I melt into the kiss again.
Then, I break away and walk out of the room. I keep walking out of the house until I'm far away from the house. As soon I'm sure I'm out of sight, I run.
I run and I run, and I don't stop running until I reach Muggle London.

Hey there! Reasonably quick update considering I've been on my holidays! Worked on it there- pretty inspiring actually. I really enjoyed this chapter so I hope you'll enjoy reading it as much as I loved writing it! Keep reading and reviewing :]

Professional Footballers' Association CEO Gordon Taylor believes that "it is time to consider the introduction of crowd control netting into football stadiums" after ManU player Rio Ferdinand was left bleeding from a head wound while celebrating his side's win over Man City Sunday, according to Shergold, Wheeler & Cass of the London DAILY MAIL. Ferdinand was struck by a coin thrown from the crowd at the Etihad Stadium. Teammate Wayne Rooney was also "pelted with missiles thrown from the stands" while waiting to take corner kicks. Taylor told BBC Radio 5 Live: "I think you've got to give consideration to possibly, as has been suggested, some netting in vulnerable areas, be it behind the goals and round the corner flags." Only the "swift intervention" of Man City goalkeeper Joe Hart "prevented a much uglier flashpoint" as he stopped a fan confronting Ferdinand on the pitch in the wake of Van Persie's goal in the 92nd minute to clinch the match. FA Chair David Bernstein told Sky Sports News the crowd incidents at the Manchester derby were "deplorable'' and must be ''dealt with severely." Taylor does not support the reintroduction of the perimeter fencing, which was removed from English football grounds in the wake of the Hillsborough disaster. Taylor is, however, "in favour of considering the installation of high nets behind goals," which are a common feature of football stadiums on the continent (DAILY MAIL, 12/9).
CASTING A WIDE NET: In London, Gratton & Ducker reported many clubs in Europe are removing netting around pitches "due to the improved behaviour of their fans, who have complained that the netting impedes their view." Football Supporters' Federation Chair Malcolm Clarke said that arrests at grounds have "dropped by almost a quarter over the last year." Clarke: "Netting is not something we feel is necessary to have. No one condones the throwing of missiles, but arrests last season were 24% down on previous seasons and not many social phenomenon alter that much. It is undoubtedly improving and I think before we start making knee-jerk reactions to particular incidents we ought to bear that in mind." Greater Manchester Police said that they are "working to track down the person responsible for throwing the coin" (LONDON TIMES, 12/10). The BBC reported stadium designer Paul Fletcher feels that the idea is "unworkable as finding a mesh netting small enough to stop coins could prove impossible." Fletcher worked on the design of Wembley Stadium, as well as stadiums at Bolton, Coventry and Huddersfield and was formerly CEO of League Championship Burnley FC. Fletcher: "To stop a £1 coin going onto the pitch is going to take some fine mesh netting, and I have never seen that" (BBC, 12/10).
HOW IT WORKS: In London, Simon Cass noted behind-the-goal netting is "commonplace in the German Bundesliga." Cass interviewed crowd-control firm Funtec Owner Ralf Esser about how the system works. Funtec supplies crowd-control measures to grounds such as Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena and Stuttgart's Mercedes-Benz Arena.
Q: So how does the system work?
Esser: It is a flame-resistant mesh, which you can see through very easily. We produce a steel rope which is built into the roof of the stadium from which the net is suspended and there are no poles to obscure the view.
Q: So what do the fans think about the nets?
Esser: Sometimes they notice them if they are very, very close to the net. But we often have a very funny reaction from the fans. They write letters to the clubs complaining that it is not fair that only the home supporters, and not the away fans, have nets in front of them. That's because they cannot see them on the other side.
Q: What about safety implications about having nets?
Esser: It is possible to break the net down very quickly. It can be winched away if you only wish to use it for high-risk games. There are provisions in place for spectators to run through the net or to go underneath it. There are exits which are protected with Velcro which can be opened by the stewards.
Q: Have you had any contact from a Premier League club and how long would it take to install?
Esser: We have had no discussions as yet, but it would take just one week to install. If you don't have any protection systems it is also cheap (DAILY MAIL, 12/10).
LIFETIME BANS AND APOLOGIES: REUTERS' Mark Pangallo reported Bernstein said fans who "hijack" matches with bad behavior should be handed life bans. Berstein: "I think it's disturbing that we are seeing a recurrence of these sorts of incidents. We've had some racial abuse issues... we've had things being thrown at players. They are unacceptable and they have to be dealt with severely." He added, "In my mind it's for the FA, it's for the whole game of football and for the authorities to work together to deal with this in the most severe manner" (REUTERS, 12/10). The PA reported the Man City fan who invaded the pitch and tried to confront Ferdinand "has apologised." The fan was charged with "pitch encroachment." Speaking through his solicitors, he "confessed his guilt and said sorry" to Ferdinand (PA, 12/10).
CRERAND'S RADIO OUTBURST: The PA also reported former ManU midfielder Paddy Crerand was "involved in an astonishing outburst on national radio" Monday morning as he "reacted angrily" to the suggestion that Ferdinand could have provoked Man City fans with his celebration of ManU's game-winning goal. Crerand's comments came during an interview on BBC Radio Five Live where listeners had called and texted the show to suggest that "players should tone down their celebrations in front of opposition fans." Crerand said, "Who said that? That is ridiculous. What planet do they live on? That is absolute garbage. How many people have phoned you up? One, two, three? How many? Why make a statement like that if you haven't got (the number of listeners) to hand ... if you haven't got the evidence?" At one point Crerand asked interviewer Chris Warburton: "Is this a publicity stunt? Ask me a sensible question and don't talk stupid, asking me daft questions about whether fans should celebrate or not" (PA, 12/10).
TIMING IS EVERYTHING: In London, Matt Dickinson wrote two days after the fan troubles "does not seem the ideal time to be stepping up the campaign for supporters to be allowed to stand at the country's biggest football stadiums," but Tuesday, MPs at Westminster "will be asked to believe that supporters can be trusted to stand and behave themselves. Sounds a tough sell." The Football Supporters' Federation (FSF) will lobby the MPs to change legislation, "at least to allow a pilot scheme for standing in the top two divisions" — banned since the Hillsborough disaster in 1989. Safety is part of the debate, but the return of standing hangs on other tests, like "whether you will make it worth a club's while." It comes down to finance. The Scottish Premier League (SPL) allowed clubs to reintroduce standing exactly a year ago. So far, "not a single club has followed through." An SPL spokesman said its members had found it "cost prohibitive" (LONDON TIMES, 12/11).
ManU Confirms Australian Preseason Trip, Game Against A-League All Stars On July 20
ManU has confirmed that it "will travel to Sydney next summer to play the Australian A-League All Stars," 14 years after its last trip Down Under, according to Emily Benammar of the London TELEGRAPH. The last time ManU traveled to Australia, Manager Alex Ferguson "left the likes of David Beckham, Paul Scholes and Gary Neville in the U.K., but organisers have suggested that the Scot will bring his full squad" for the July 20 match meaning Australian football fans "will have the opportunity to see Wayne Rooney, Nani and Robin van Persie in action." ManU CEO David Gill said, "The game and training camp that will take place in Sydney will be an important part of the team's preparation for the 2013-14 season." Football Federation Australia "confirmed that the A-League All Stars would be selected by fans and, much to the excitement of United veteran Ryan Giggs, it could feature Sydney FC's Italian star Alessandro Del Piero." The squad "could also feature former Premier League striker Emile Heksey who joined the Newcastle Jets on a one-year deal in September" (TELEGRAPH, 12/10). In Sydney, Michael Chammas reported FFA CEO David Gallop "fired his first shot at the game he once ran, announcing football's major coup just an hour after State of Origin tickets went on sale." The ManU players "will demand the headlines when they touch down in Sydney on the eve of rugby league's showcase event for a game against the fan-voted A-League All Stars, a concept Gallop introduced during his time in the National Rugby League." Coincidence? Maybe. However, the "wry smile on Gallop's face when Fairfax Media commented on the timing of the announcement suggested it may have been more tactical than coincidental." Gallop said, "I think it's massive to have the most-famous football club in the world coming out here. It's an opportunity for us to launch the All Stars concept, and part of that will be giving fans a say in selection." The New South Wales government "has splashed out A$3M ($3.2M) to lure Ferguson's side to Sydney and said it expected to recoup that outlay fivefold, suggesting the match will generate some A$15M in revenue." ANZ Stadium "invested A$3M on grow lights from the Netherlands last season to help the surface cope with the rigours of winter." Ensuring the surface is at its best for the most-famous club in the world "will be a priority, and stadium officials are confident it will be in pristine condition" (SYDNEY MORNING HERALD, 12/11).
UNITED HAS THE UPPER HAND: In Sydney, Michael Chammas also reported when former ManU striker Dwight Yorke was asked "how the best of the A-League would fare against the Red Devils," which last played in Australia in '99, Yorke "was brutally honest in his assessment of how the match would pan out." Yorke said, "A full-strength Man United … I've got to be honest, it's not going to be easy for the A-League guys. They are going to find it extremely difficult, but I'm sure it's a great experience for some of these guys who may not have the opportunity to play against these world-class players like Wayne Rooney and Van Persie. People like Giggsy and Scholesy are still there'' (SYDNEY MORNING HERALD, 12/11). Also in Sydney, Ray Gatt reported Yorke "laughed off suggestions the trip would be a holiday for the 19-time English champion club." Yorke said, "Not at all. It's a serious part of the preseason for them. They'll have five or six days in camp in Sydney. It will be very intense." Yorke said that "he would not knock back the chance to coach the All Stars if asked, although it would seem Melbourne Victory coach Ange Postecoglou and Central Coast Mariners boss Graham Arnold would be the frontrunners" (THE AUSTRALIAN, 12/11).
Indonesian Football Governing Bodies Fail To Meet FIFA Deadline, Face Suspension
Indonesia "is facing a possible suspension from world football after two rival associations failed to reunite in time for a Monday deadline" set by FIFA, according to the AFP. Indonesian FA (PSSI) Chair Djohar Arifin Husin said that a congress meeting held by his group affirmed that they "could not reconcile their differences" with the rebel Indonesian Football Rescue Committee (KPSI). The PSSI "decided to annul a Memorandum of Understanding they both signed in June where they agreed to run a single league." Husin said, "We have opened our doors, but KPSI refused to merge with us to run only one league. In fact, they went ahead to form their own football teams." KPSI chief La Nyalla Mahmud Mattalitti said that on Monday it held a separate meeting "demanding sole control over Indonesian football." He added the organization was "very happy" over the decision to annul the MoU. He said, "FIFA should ban PSSI. FIFA should know that nobody trusts in Djohar [Arifin Husin] anymore" (AFP, 12/10). The JAKARTA GLOBE reported acting Sports Minister Agung Laksono invited PSSI and KPSI representatives to a meeting on Saturday "where they agreed to hold only one congress" on Monday in Jakarta. The event was to be organized by PSSI and the attendee list created by a joint committee of both organizations. But the joint meeting in Jakarta was canceled when it emerged that the PSSI "had taken the relevant documents to Palangkaraya and was preparing to hold its own congress in the central Kalimantan capital" (JAKARTA GLOBE, 12/10).
Scottish FA Appoints Repucom To Conduct First National Football Survey
Global sports marketing research company Repucom has been appointed by the Scottish FA to conduct the first National Football Survey, a study that will give fans a say on the major issues affecting Scotland's national game. The survey, a collaborative effort by the Scottish FA, Scottish Premier League, Scottish Football League and Supporters Direct Scotland, seeks to engage feedback from supporters around the country. Issues such as league reconstruction, national team performance, rules and regulations and the match-day experience are all covered in the most-comprehensive fan study ever carried out in Scottish football. The online survey, independently administrated and analyzed by Repucom, aims to facilitate a significant step forward in improving Scottish football. It addresses fans at all levels; from the avid supporter of the national team and/or a particular club to the armchair spectator (Repucom).

let me explain my goal. I want to use my shield for all my PC gaming. Portable around the house, and that is great when the main TV is being used by other members of my family.
But also it's great to connect it to the TV when it's available. My main PC is a desktop one used for working and when I play I don't want to be there. I prefer sofa, bed, etc.
So, I wanted to have a fine console experience in my sofa in front of the tv, but wirelessly. I have these accesories for it:
USB OTG, HDMI, USB hub, USB-ethernet (the one that actually works is this: http://plugable.com/products/usb2-e1000 ), and wireless Xbox controller with the usb receiver.
I almost have it, but not 100%.
HDMI works
Ethernet works
USB hub works
Xbox controller works but D-pad does not, and that is frustrating, because every other button works fine and it's a joy to lie in my sofa to play that way. Some games need the D-pad and because of that this is not a solution.
The other way to use the Xbox controller is leaving it connected to the PC and it works good when I'm in front od the TV because my PC is just upstairs. BUT, most of the games when launched from Shield ignore the controller of the PC and only work with the Shield itself...
Is anyone crazy enough to try this way of gaming?
I know the Nyko dock would help to achieve this, but it's completely missing since it was announced...
Would a bluetooth gamepad work with all the buttons (D-pad included) for a perfect PC streaming experience???
Tomorrow I friend will let my try a PS3 controller. Let's see how it performs. I did not want to root, but I will at least to try it wirelessly.

Spoilers ahead!
A few not-so-shocking giveaways about this week's new movie releases, including Justice League and Frank Serpico
Matthew Lickona 6 p.m., Nov. 17
A wise film from director Hirokazu Koreeda, one that knows kids for what they are: not miniature adults, not the masters of their own magical kingdoms, but newcomers struggling to navigate by their own imperfect charts. Twelve-year-old Koichi dreams of reuniting his divorced parents -- the pain of his family's rupture is enough to make him wish a neighboring volcano would erupt just so they would be driven back together. In his final act of childish faith -- an act only half-seen for what it is -- he concocts a mission to set things right by tapping into forces greater than himself. Bittersweetness follows. 2011.

Dear (I gather "Cher" is too personal) Didier and Bernard,
I have not studied French formally, but can recognize the general meaning of nearly all the French quoted below. However, I still feel the need for an English translation to get more out of reading a whole article.
Would it be asking too much for one of you to translate portions of the dissertation for the benefit of myself and others like me who are not sufficiently competent in French to read the paper directly?
Please don't worry about doing a quality translation. A quick, perhaps imperfect, translation of key portions would suffice. I want to minimize the burden upon you.
That the Basque language could somehow be Indo-European is very intriguing!
Thank you for consideration of this request.
Bill Hancock

I think a short translation is required. Shortly, the thesis is that the correlations found between Basque and IE languages can't be coincidences or traces of short contacts with IE populations. Rather, Euskara would be a true IE language from a separate branch.
PS : thank you Bernard for digging out this work. I don't know if I'll get the whole message out of it but it's a work that deserves to be known.

A biography of one of Australia's most intriguing characters, written by one of the nation's most popular authors. Les Darcy was a legendary Australian boxer called to fight during WWI, though he felt duty-bound to stay home and continue working to help his family out of poverty. Caught up in the politics around conscription, he ended up leaving the country, but became an Australian folk hero. Author Peter Fitzsimons provides a poignant take on Darcy's short but fascinating life, while performer Humphrey Bower narrates in a steady, welcoming style.
That was the message Australia's great "Blacksmith Boxer" was getting, as debate about conscription raged in the middle of World War I. The problem was that Les Darcy didn't want to march at the fore of such a procession, nor to such a destination. He wanted to continue what he had been doing to extraordinary acclaim before the war began - taking on the best boxers the world could throw at him, and lifting his entire family out of poverty as he did so. Torn between the duty he felt he owed his family, and the duty many felt he owed his country, Les made his choice ... and faced the consequences.
And so unfolds a ballad of love, war, betrayal, mystery, patriotism and heroism; a ballad of a champion whose story still has the power to move the stoniest heart.

"A great story"
A great story. Well worth the credit despite being less than 6 hours long. I normally listen to books to fill in time, but once I started to listen to this, I made the time to hear it through. Only second to The True Story Of The Ned Kelly Gang (available from audible in some regions). Who would have thought an old lock would be capable of this!

DEFINITION of 'Customer-Driven Pricing'
A method of pricing in which the seller makes a decision based on what the customer can justify paying. Customer-driven pricing is not simply what the consumer is willing to pay, but reflects the value of the product or service from the consumer's perspective. Pricing decisions are made to justify purchase decisions and are at a level that convinces the customer he/she benefits from the transaction.
BREAKING DOWN 'Customer-Driven Pricing'
To optimize pricing, companies need to consider how to best segment the market so that prices reflect the differences in value perceived by different types of consumers. To do this, companies must ensure that there is a comprehensive understanding of the customer and what he or she values. A company would make the most money if they could figure out the maximum each customer would pay, and charge them that amount.

COULD school meals for infants be scrapped?
Prime Minister Theresa May has sparked controversy after she announced in the Conservatives election manifesto that they would scrap free school lunches for infant school pupils to give schools an extra £1billion per year to tackle school funding shortages in England.
The PM said that school meals for infant pupils will be means tested with those on low incomes not having to pay.
Candidates vying for the Wells consituency seat have criticised the PM saying it is a hugely popular policy that shouldn't be scrapped.
Tessa Munt, Liberal Democrat candidate for the Wells Constituency said: "In my day, people would chant, 'Thatcher, Thatcher, 'milk snatcher', if Theresa May wins with a landslide next month, there'll be shouts of 'Theresa May took your lunch away'.
"Taking lunches away from school children gives a flavour of what will happen if you don't vote for decent, and independent minded MPs like me in the House of Commons.
"Every parent knew their child sat down at a table to eat a nutritious, hot, midday meal with their classmates.
"This is a hugely popular policy with busy working parents and those who are less well off, alike.
"This just demonstrates Theresa May and her colleagues' cold and mean-spirited vision for Britain's future."
Andy Merryfield, Labour candidate for the Wells Constituency said: "Our kids should never be connected to the term 'effective cost saving measures' at a time when their care, education and welfare are under a massive threat from a stagnating economy, growing inflation, rising rents so that many families are struggling to thrive and even survive clear of debt."

Some historians have been taking a lot of heat for plagiarism lately. (The phrase "taking a lot of heat," by the way, is not my own; I inadvertently lifted it from a line in an old Jimmy Cagney flick: "Youse guys can't take the heat!")
Wayward writers Stephen Ambrose and Doris Kearns Goodwin cast their research nets wide. But, instead of filleting and blending their copious catches into a seafood mix, they served some of the flounders whole.
"Net" is the operative word here, for the word "plagiarism" derives from the Latin noun "plaga," meaning a hunting net or snare to entrap small animals. (The following information was gleaned from page 367 of Webster's Word Histories, though no direct stealing of words, alive or dead, occurred, and no small animals were harmed.)
The Romans called the act of capturing game using nets "plagium," and soon this term was extended to describe the act of kidnapping children or free adults and selling them into slavery. Anyone who perpetrated such a dastardly crime was called a "plagiarius," along with a lot of other Latin swear words we can't repeat here.
Speaking of small game and Latin ... Forty years ago, a fellow student in my first-year Latin class was translating the story of King Midas from Latin to English. When he came to Midas' plea, "Quid facere possum?" ("What can I do?"), he rendered it as "Where are the possums?"
At the time, this struck me as an entirely appropriate question for the desperate Midas to be asking. I imagined Midas singing, "Where are the possums? There ought to be possums."
Back to "plagiarism." By the end of the first century A.D., the Romans were using "plagiarius" to refer, not only to hunters and kidnappers, but to writers who stole someone else's words.
During the 1600s and 1700s, three words plagiarized from the Latin "plagiarius" entered English: "plagiary," "plagiarist" and "plagiarism." (While initially "plagiary" referred to kidnapping as well as literary theft, the latter meaning became dominant by the 1700s.)
Today, plagiarism is so common, that footnote-minded scholars can only ask, "Where are the ibids.," "op. cits." and "loc. cits."? Where are the "passims"?

Two Stafford County schools were briefly locked down Monday morning after a deputy got into an altercation with a suspicious person in a school parking lot.
Initial reports suggested that the person had a weapon, so North Stafford High School and Park Ridge Elementary School were placed on lockdown while officials searched for the person, who fled after the altercation.
Officials found the person at about 9:45 a.m. and the schools were reopened. The sheriff's office said no weapon was found.

Education Secretary Arne Duncan used blunt language to describe the struggling economy's potential impact on the nation's schools. With words like "catastrophe" and phrases like "an absolute disaster," he predicted a dire future for K-12 schools and colleges if the federal stimulus package did not pass.
"The status quo is not good enough," Duncan said in an interview that appeared in the April issue of ASBJ. "But we absolutely couldn't get worse at this point."
Duncan's point—that the nation's schools would be devastated by the layoff of counselors, librarians, social workers, teachers, and other support staff—was taken to heart when Congress agreed to spend $115 billion on K-12 schools, colleges and universities, and early childhood programs. But school finance experts and local officials agree that Washington can't fill all the budget gaps in the hardest-hit school districts.
There will still be layoffs, and in some places, these layoffs will be significant.
Tale of two districts
For Charles Phibbs, finance director for Virginia's Staunton City Schools, it's a simple case of math.
"When 82 percent of your budget is consumed by people—let's face it, we're in the people business—we know the only way to come up with these cuts is in loss of personnel," Phibbs says.

Who Pays For Damage From Parkway Sinkhole? [VIDEO]
Eighteen cars were damaged as they were the first to discover a huge sinkhole on a dark Driscoll Bridge on the Garden State Parkway Thursday morning. Who pays for the damage?
It depends on who you ask.
Some of those whose cars suffered flat tires, broken rims and bent axles after they hit the sinkhole told New Jersey 101.5's Jeff Deminski & Bill Doyle they were told by the Turnpike Authority the agency was not responsible because no one had reported the sinkhole before they hit it.
New Jersey Turnpike spokesman Tom Feeney in an email to Townsquare Media NJ wrote, "the Turnpike Authority handles claims related to issues on the Turnpike and Parkway. Anyone who has a claim related to the sink hole should call 732-750-5300, ext 8714, to request a notice of claim." They are open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
As for the Turnpike's responsibility, Feeney said once a notice of claim form is completed, "our third-party claims administrator reviews the forms and determines whether the Turnpike Authority will make a payment to cover any costs not covered by the vehicle owner's own insurance. The question of whether the Authority is obligated to do that is exactly what the claims administrators determine when the forms are filed."
Department of Transportation spokesman Tim Greeley confirmed that the Turnpike Authority is the sole agency handling claims.
According to the New Jersey Tort Claims Act, the state may not have any responsibility.
"The Legislature recognizes that while a private entrepreneur may readily be held liable for negligence within the chosen ambit of his activity, the area within which government has the power to act for the public good is almost without limit and therefore government should not have the duty to do everything that might be done. Consequently, it is hereby declared to be the public policy of this State that public entities shall only be liable for their negligence within the limitations of this act and in accordance with the fair and uniform principles established herein. All of the provisions of this act should be construed with a view to carry out the above legislative declaration.
It Took All Day To Make Repairs
New Jersey Turnpike spokesman Tom Feeney told the Star-Ledger a 15-inch drain pipe under the roadway pulled apart. "Then the earth filled the void where the pipe separated and it weakened the road surface above it," he explained.
The 10-foot wide, 6-foot long sinkhole opened up in the right lane on the southbound side around 6:30 a.m. on Thursday morning. Two lanes were blocked for much of the day as crews worked to fill the hole and determine the cause.
All lanes were reopened just before 5:00 p.m. Thursday afternoon but not before traffic stretched back to Clark at one point.
Work crews will make a more permanent repair soon meaning more lane closures at night or on the weekend.

VARBusiness: Is Sun Software An Oxymoron?Sep 17, 1999, 23:47 (11 Talkback[s])
(Other stories by Barbara Darrow)

"Sun is 'going into services and selling components. That's the classic end-game chapter for traditional computer companies,' opined Will Zachmann, of Canopus Research, Duxbury, Mass. ... If you're over 30 you might recall these guys: Data General, Prime, DEC, Wang. ... Sun, said Zachmann, is playing the same old proprietary games these guys played. "Sun said, 'Java is a standard but ha ha, we own it,' ' Zachmann said. Sun, he maintains, is more, not less, proprietary than its archnemesis Microsoft. Microsoft itself makes the same point..."
"Sun... is a technology leader, and always will be. But who's following? Even Java allies IBM and Novell condemn what they call Sun's 'heavy-handedness' with Java. Sun, said one Novell exec, has done more to damage Java than anything Microsoft has done.
Now Sun is reviving its thin-client tactic with Sun Ray, which derives its smarts from a back-end Sun server. Sun said the new device will run Windows applications, courtesy of Citrix as well as its newly acquired StarOffice. You can almost hear Steve Ballmer's sarcastic response now: "Hooray, it's a return to the dumb terminal!'"
"With Sun Ray, and the fact that Sun is taking on Microsoft in applications and building its consulting services, Sun resellers have become puzzled. 'The consistent thread is that no one knows what the heck is going on and we're all trying to sort it out,' one VAR said of Sun's software strategy."

text: Stocks and bonds dropped for a second straight day. The market moves followed an announcement by the Commerce Department that factory orders were up 4.4 percent in August, the biggest gain in two years for this key sign of industrial health. Economists had been expecting a slightly more modest rise of 3.3 percent or so. It was the latest in a string of indications that the economy is running strong, and reinforced fears of inflation that have ruined the market's Indian summer rally. The Dow Jones industrial average was down as much as 50 points during the day on Wednesday but rebounded to close with a 13.79 point loss at 3787.34. The S&P 500 fell 1.07, to 453.52. NASDAQ stocks dropped 1.02, to 746.28. And bond prices dropped sharply, driving the yield on the benchmark 30-year Treasury up to 7.95 percent from 7.89 percent on Tuesday. That's the highest yield on the long bond since June 1992. The price of gold was up 70 cents, to $392.25 in London trading.

You need online passwords for everything. How "tricky" do they need to be in order to be safe?
Follow these tips from Microsoft:
1. Use mnemonics to keep track of them. Start with a sentence you can remember, like "My son Aiden is three years old."
2. Check to see whether the computer or online system supports the pass phrase directly. If so, you can use a pass phrase.
3. Convert the phrase to a password, if the web site doesn't support phrases. Take the first letter of each word of the sentence to create a made-up word. The sample above would become "msaityo."
4. Add complexity by substituting letters with numbers or symbols, changing lower-case to upper-case letters, or adding misspellings. Your password might become "My $oN Ayden is Tree yeeRs old."
5. Rate your password. Test it on Password Checker, a safe, free tool that allows you to type in your password and receive a weak, medium, strong or best ranking.

Nobel Chor (DVD Bengali)
He becomes the hope of the entire village. On arrival in the city, Bhanu encounters myriad experiences with crooks, strange memorabilla collectors, entrepreneurs who want to exploit the poor man who just has a simple of dream of being able to give his son a better future and uplift the state of his improverished village. Nobel Chor is the story of this journey through which the film explores contemporary India at its fullest- the encroach of globalization, the rural-urban divide and the state of India's villages. More importantly it is a trenchant exploration of the relevance of Tagore's philosophy in modern India.

As you have arrived at the home page of All Saints Paston may I take this opportunity before you navigate further of welcoming you to our web site and indeed welcoming you to the fellowship that is All Saints.
All Saints is Church of England and our parish covers the areas of Paston, Walton and Gunthorpe. The Church family will be preparing in 2017 to celebrate our 800 years of sharing the good news of Jesus with the people we serve and minister to.
Although the church has been here over many generations the thread that binds us together is the love that God has for us in Jesus Christ and our desire to renew and recreate our communities through that love.
Our Web site is in the process of being weekly recreated (rather like, we hope, ourselves and our church) and if you have comments over how we can make it better or if there is a question or information not answered or found on the web site then please contact us.
With this church's warmest wishes as you now explore our site further.
Mark Bridgen
Rector (since October, 2015)
2017 is the 800th anniversary of All Saints Church, Paston in Peterborough and there is a year full of activities and events planned to celebrate this major milestone.
The first of these events is our HISTORY WEEK from FEBRUARY 11—17TH. The church will be opened from 9:30am to 4pm – excluding Sunday 12th.
Entrance is free (donations welcome) and inside the church there will be many displays of the history of the church and area of Gunthorpe, Walton and Paston these 800 years. There will be many artefacts, exhibition material, photographs, maps and registers – some dating from 1291! View the history of one of the largest roads in Peterborough, Fulbridge Road; the coming of the railways and the ways the community was built up from fields to the present conurbations of Gunthorpe, Paston and Walton. The church as a building is full of interesting architecture to view – carvings, stained glass and even our own church mice!
The church will be welcoming local schools to visit and the children will be taken round by costumed guides such as: The Rev Joseph Pratt (60 years of ministry at the church) and who was so eloquent a speaker that a gallery (no longer present) had to be built to accommodate the congregation; and, as well, Edmund Mountseven who built almshouses on Paston Ridings.
Refreshments will be available.
For more information please contact the Rector, Rev Mark Bridgen on 01733579778 or email@example.com

Kalaloch (pronounced "clay-lock") is the duo of Alex and Jen Carmichael. Their press release charmingly takes form of a Q&A, and one of the first questions is:
Are they one of those cutesy married bands?Their first 7-inch--which celebrates its release tonight at a show at Dunes--pairs two slow, droney tunes on very handsome white vinyl with spackles of grey. On each song, Alex and Jen take sturdy chord progressions and sing melodies and counter-melodies on top, with interlocking vocal parts that sometimes come together and often branch apart. At its best it feels like listening to two songs at once, kind of like that Simon & Garfunkel song about cooking spices.
The instrumental backdrop, though, is a bit more sinister, and it really grounds Kalaloch, taking them out of the cutesy-pie Mates of State married pop ghetto. Droning, often-looped guitars dissolve into feedback while cymbal splashes (courtesy of guest drummer Dennis Ayres) create a steady rhythm. A-side "Corridor" slowly builds up a pattern, then tears it down, with the instruments dropping out. When they come back in, everything has grown in intensity, capitalizing on the momentum built over the course of the song.
B-side "Pacific Shores" follows a similar template, opening with full-sounding pulsing bass. The two vocal parts are eerily disconnected throughout the slow song, like a conversation where two people have something very important to say to each other but have difficulty listening to the other person. It works on a dramatic level, and the slow-building tune uses its pallette of bass, cymbal splashes, and slow-building noise to built up a wave that crests in a wash of gentle feedback.
Kalaloch - "Corridor"
Kalaloch play their Portland record release show tonight at Dunes, 1909 NE MLK, 9 pm, $5.

The InterContinental Hotel Houston is the latest hotel owned by Hospitality Properties Trust (HPT) that the REIT plans to rebrand under its Sonesta brand. Located in Uptown Houston near The Galleria, the Four-Diamond hotel will be renamed the Royal Sonesta Hotel Houston when it comes under Sonesta management on July 16. The hotel features 485 rooms and 50,000 sq. ft. of event space.
HPT of Newton, Mass., acquired Sonesta earlier this year in a $174 million deal. Sonesta traces its roots to an American hotel company founded in 1944, but when the REIT purchased it in January, only three of the 32 hotels in its portfolio were in the United States. HPT wants to significantly expand the brand's domestic presence. It has already reflagged hotels in Hilton Head, S.C., and Burlington, Mass., and has announced plans to convert hotels in Baltimore, Philadelphia and Orlando. The Houston hotel will be the brand's first in Texas. hospitalitynet.org

White Round Pill D On One Side And 155 Other (Page 2)Updated

Tweek Says:
Suboxone aka buprenorphine. Opiate blocker used to treat opioid dependency.

There are TWO NEW generic suboxone manufacturers.
1. Amneal (Orange Colored Pill, Round) Imprint: AN 415
2. Actavis (White Colored Pill, Round) Imprint: Crescent Moon 155
It seems like walgreens and CVS have these both in stock.

22johnny v Says:
I am not on suboxone but i am trying to use them with my wife to self detox. I dont know what they are but i can tell you that i took a half of the white one two days ago at ten am and i tried to get high at 8 pm and it didnt work. So i think that they are regular sobos. I also injected them and they did the same thing that regular sobos do which is make you sick for a half hour and then make u better.
23BISHOP Says:
Ok, I have been on suboxone for 4 years, both n8 pills and strips. These new generics seem neither stronger or weaker. For those of you who cannot break them evenly, I am sure most of you smoke so take a bic lighter, hold the pill against the rounded side of the lighter and push both sides of the pill. It will snap right in half (old dilaudid trick) it takes a little experimenting to get an exact break but you will get the hang of it. Or ifyouprefer, every pharmacy in America sells pill splitters. Hope this helps
24Joel Says:
Suboxone and Subutex produce identical effects, naloxone which is what everyone thinks is the reason they can't get high on suboxone. The fact is that, if you have been clean off of full agonist and other opiates, and are using just buprenorphine, suboxone and subutex feel exactly the same. If you aren't taking your recovery seriously and still messing with other drugs, then you will get Precipitated Withdrawal from BOTH suboxone AND Subutex, because buprenorphine is what throws you into withdrawal when you still have active opiate receptor binding with an opiate other than buprenorphine.
25Deliciousmama Says:
yes you still use them the same way as the orange tabet
26Frankie Says:
Wrong subutex does not contain a blocker , and r useless to the people that actually want to do better..because you can sill get high later that day without having any problems doing so...suboxone on the other that contains the blocker will not allow you to feel the affects of getting high unless your a couple days off of them... depending on how much and long you been on them... Suboxone is a great drug to the normal working person that doesn't want to take pain meds anymore ...that been on these pain meds that doctors hand out like candy...and yes a lot of it is in your head try taking a quarter every other day and knowing you have them in the cabinet will help you mentally...try it it worked for me after being on all kinds of pain meds for ten years i think this us the best drug to for people who want change just a small piece a day or every other does the trick both mentally and physically
27Joel Says:
28MoMmAbEaR Says:
You are absolutly correct in the beginning of my recovery I did subutex and oxys with suboxone u can't noxalone is only to stop IV use and it does make u sick with other pills I have been on subutex for 2 yrs with nothing else my back was broke in 5 places my foot was cut off and reattached and leg broken on opposite side told I would never walk with hard work I did and anyone who says subutex don't work for pain there lying it takes all my pain away with 2 1/2 pills daily.happy searching
29mj34 Says:
My god. I am having major issues with these Actavis Subs. Not having the same effect whatsoever and are in fact making me ill. I am 100% convinced that these pills are not up to par. I hope something gets done about it. So disappointing.
30subby122 Says:
I'm having panic attacks over this!!! I've tried EVERYTHING, in the bup. category, & the only ones that don't make me so sick is the orange N8's & I have no choice but 2 switch 2 these new generic white ones, just released (D looking but it's a symbol 4 the company on 1 side & 155-I believe-on the other side-Round) & the way u mentioned is the ONLY thing that help's @ all!! Please any info. u might have on this wld help so much, I'm 2 the point where I have 2 switch in the next day or so, so I'm freaking out!! I've been searching 4 over 8 days now & this blog is the only thing I have found even SOMEWHAT USEFUL!!!! Thanks 4 sharing, it really helps others out there b/c u know the insurance & drug companies will say whatever they think u want 2 hear 2 make $$!!!!!
31jeremy Says:
I find that strange because I prefer them.to the suboxone tablets. They come on faster stronger and last longer. They also taste better and dissolve quicker. I am on the 2mg tablets.
32Jonathan Says:
Try rite aid I am still using the original suboxone tabs 8 mg they are still able to order and dispense them have your pharmacist try to order them. I am with you on this. I am fearful of trying the new generics and the film doesn't work as well as the tabs good luck email me with any further questions.

Me my self believe the new subs are stronger at first but dont last as long. And if u dont b carful they smash easier in ur fingwra. I like the othera better also bur i guess like u said time will twll.
34subby122 Says:
I do not like them nearly as much as the N8 Oranges but they are def. better than the strips 4 that!! They crumble apart, burn, taste like an aspirin...just not a fan of em' but they do work....just need more!!
35jeremy Says:
The white generics are awesome. They take effect faster, last longer, are stronger
Don't know bout the orange generics cuz I havnt tried the. Would be interesting to hear opinions from people who havr tried and compared both.
Actavis whites flavor is much better.

36cha cha Says:
i have the white ones with 155 and a moon on em and they have almost NO taste, kinda wierd cuz you can't tell if they sub is there or not LOL. I don't like em, feel like they don't work as well. made me have cramps and feel like i was in withdrawal... hopefully next dose is better
37J Says:
I have taken the strips for 2 years now and they weren't doing much for me anymore so I found out about the new white pills with the moon and 155 on them and I love them they last a lot longer not as good as the old Orange ones but at least they don't have that horrible taste. If they would only break like the old ones they would be perfect.
38Stavros Says:
I just got the generics for the first time and I do feel they are stronger and last just as long as the orange ones. Also I not get nausea from these new ones.
39Ricky Says:
They taste orangy like the brand name.
40subby122 Says:
*UPDATE* From my earlier post......These new ones are decent, defiantly better than I had anticipated!! It does take a little more 2 achieve the "Normal" Feeling though. It's been a week now and it's ok, I don't notice a BETTER or QUICKER effect from them, it's def. better than migraines and getting sick from those horrid strips!!!!! Hope this helps someone out there!! GOOD LUCK ALL!!

11 Athlete Endorsements That Were Lost To Scandal
Brett Favre has been mired in an embarrassing and lurid sexual scandal and while it might be good for his wife's book sales, it's the kind of thing that tends to scare away advertisers.
Major brands love family-friendly images and they hate controversy. So when their heroic spokespeople get caught in something less than heroic, companies want to distance themselves as quickly as possible. Contracts are ended, ads are pulled, and the superstar finds out who their real friends are.
(Hint: It's not the marketing department.)
Wrangler hasn't caved yet, but if Favre is dealt a suspension—or worse—they may decide to cut lose like so many companies have before.

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. – When you look at Gabriel Torres' stats, the only thing that pops out – as it should – is the amount of goals the Colorado Rapids striker has scored over several different stops over the years.
From leading the Venezuelan Clausura with 11 goals earlier this year for Zamora FC to co-leading the Gold Cup with five goals for his native Panama over the summer, Torres is a goalscorer through and through – and it's the reason the Rapids signed him as the club's first Designated Player in franchise history in August.
But Torres isn't purely a goalscorer, despite his impressive brace over the weekend that led to him being voted MLS' Player of the Week on Monday. As Torres also displayed in Colorado's 3-2 win over the Vancouver Whitecaps on Saturday night, the 24-year-old striker can pass the ball deftly in addition to finishing.
While he didn't register an assist on Saturday, he made several slick passes to free up teammates – including a beautiful no-look pass to set up Vicente Sanchez and two other passes that both set up corner kicks, another sign of Torres' increased comfort as he adapts to MLS.
"I have felt good in a lot of games," Torres said on Saturday. "I've felt comfortable for a little while, and now it is just time to go get a title."
In the second half, Rapids head coach Oscar Pareja brought on veteran striker Edson Buddle as a substitute, putting Buddle up top and Torres just behind Buddle, freeing the Panamanian to pass more.
"It worked well," Pareja said of the tactical change. "[Torres] wanted to drop 10 yards and attack from that side and playing off Edson. He looked more free I would say. He had a little bit more room to have some action and get in dangerous spaces, so I like that combination."

Pass or shoot, Torres can do it all, and that dual threat is something the Rapids will need as they head into Sunday's season finale against the Whitecaps (8 pm ET, MLS LIVE), where, depending on other results, Colorado can finish anywhere from first to sixth in the Western Conference standings.
"I think he's a high-class player," Pareja said. "He showed it [Saturday] in front of his fans."

Atag is a brand of kitchen appliances that you can only buy through specialist kitchen fitting companies. I bought two when I had a new kitchen put in. I was not able to find any reviews for the company, so trusted their own marketing information. The ovens were expensive. Both have presented problems. The after sales service has been very poor indeed. I wrote a long e-mail to Atag detailing my concerns. After four weeks I have not even had an acknowledgement of my complaint, let alone a reply. My new kitchen is superb- apart from the Atag ovens. I would not recommend them to anyone.
