Based in Peterborough, Master of Ceremonies and Party Host Franck Lynch is the Wedding & Party DJ Entertainer who offers you and your guests more than just a routine mobile or wedding disco in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire and surrounding areas
What we do for you...
One of the areas most popular choice for the party host and discerning Bride & Groom who want something different for their party or wedding reception, EVENTS by LYNCH are a Mobile Disco with Professional Party and Wedding Reception Party Entertainers who convert conventional wedding reception parties into fun, unique and memorable celebrations that stand out and your family and guests will be talking about for days and weeks into the future.
In consultation with you, we can help you realise your party vision or wedding dream by personalising and planning your whole event entertainment, whether it's to be a birthday party, wedding anniversary or an evening reception party or all day wedding reception party with our Master of Ceremonies service and Gamesmaster. When you are preparing and planning your dream wedding or celebration it's important to think carefully about the wedding or mobile disco experience you will be providing to your families and friends during the day and evening
Acting as your Master of Ceremonies and host, Franck can drive the day for you directing all activities releasing you to have a worry-free day ensuring you and your guests are entertained and involved throughout the complete event.
A fantastic and memorable event, especially a Wedding Reception or Special Celebration doesn't just happen. It needs to be planned and managed. You probably have many questions to ask and we would welcome the opportunity to explain what Events by Lynch can do to convert your thoughts and dreams into reality. We care passionately about the success of your party which is why we are the chosen party specialists for so many events.
You're going to spend a lot of money on your party or wedding which will be money wasted if the event ends up like most celebrations or wedding receptions as an expensive dinner party – food & drink only. What's often missing is an entertainment experience and we don't just mean a 'disco'. Don't you deserve something better on your special day than an 'average' predictable event with average entertainment? Your wedding should be one of the happiest days of your life and choosing a quality entertainment package from EVENTS by LYNCH to celebrate it is extremely important if your special day is to be the complete triumph you want and deserve. Your wedding anniversary or birthday should be celebrated in style and as a fun event to be remembered for all the right reasons. Contact us and we can meet over a coffee to discuss, without any obligation, what Events by Lynch can do for you to make your event fun, special and exceptional. If you live a long way from us then we are happy to have a telephone discussion or Skype conversation with you
Why Hire Us? - Just look at our Testimonials
- We make certain your event or wedding reception will be unlike any other celebration that your family and guests have ever been to.
- We guarantee that your entertainment will flow perfectly,
- We liberate you from worrying over the details knowing that we are tending to the necessary planned events.
- We keep the day flowing gently whilst ensuring that your family and guests don't leave as soon as the DJ starts
- We ensure that each person actually feels like they are part of something truly special and memorable.
- You have a major input with the music selection.
- Your guests can submit 2 music requests in advance to help us get an early feel for what will make them into party people.
- We happily take requests on the night.
- We give you and your guests an experience that will be talked about for a long time.
Choosing your entertainment -
Mobile Disco V Professional DJ Entertainer
- All discos have access to the same music and we all have the bells and whistles like flashing lights etc.
- What makes mobile discos different from one another are the personalities behind the microphone and what they will do for you that the others don't.
- With us, it's more than just the music.
- With Events by Lynch's Professional DJ Entertainment and Wedding Entertainment Service, you will be certain that you have made the right decision.
- Some venues have a 'Resident DJ' whom they 'sell on' to their clients and this can be a big risk. Of course, some Resident DJs are excellent, but why take that risk?
- Don't be pushed into having who the venue wants – it's your party – and should happen your way - you should have that choice! Remember the Resident DJ is working for the venue and not for you so may be biased towards cutting corners to suit future employment at the venue.
- Another benefit of choosing your own DJ entertainer is the chance to get to know each other beforehand, and share information and stories which can personalise your dream event totally to you.
- If you want to know more or just want a chat then view our Services page or call or email us.
Offering great party entertainment at an affordable price you should talk to us and be prepared to be surprised by what we say.
We attend more parties & weddings than most people so have a great idea of what works!
Our mobile disco and wedding disco service operates mainly in Eastern England and the East Midlands. We routinely work in Peterborough, Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire, Rutland and South Yorkshire. We will however happily work anywhere in the UK and Europe.

Chanel Aqua Crayon Lip Colour Stick Reviews
Keeps On Going!I originally bought the aqua crayon in Cognac to go with my glossimer in Coral Reef. When I got it home, I found that it was neutral enough to go with just about all my warm toned lipsticks/glosses except for the more decidedly pink ones. It glides on smoothly and evenly, is not drying, and has incredible staying power. Throughout the day I only had to touch up my gloss or lipstick, but not my ...read morelip liner. Because it is so long-lasting, I lightly feather the liner onto my lips and blot my lips together to blend it in to my natural lip color. That way, when my gloss or lipstick eventually wears off, I'm not left with that dreaded line around the lips. My only complaint at this time is that it is not available in very many colors. For my rose shades, I switch to Dior's automatic lip liner in Caramel. It has all the same attributes as the Chanel aqua crayon. — 7 years, 9 months agoEilKas | 33 reviews
Lovely LiplinerThis lipliner works great and is worth every penny! It goes "right on" with a perfect application; giving you a flawless look. And the sans sharpener is a great plus! Definitely a must for any makeup bag! — 9 years, 1 month agosweets5260 | 126 reviews
Hard-Core Staying PowerI love this liner it is easy to use, does what it says and has the ability to stay on almost endlessly! — 9 years, 4 months agoLenalove | 156 reviews
I love this lip linerI like the fact that you never have to sharpen it! The lip liner goes on smoothly. It does not clump or crumble like some other liner I have tried. Quite often I use the liner all over my lips and use a little gloss on that for a long lasting lip color. — 9 years, 6 months agoNutella | 1 reviews

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., Feb. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Medical innovation and sustained research investment are dramatically transforming the landscape in blood cancers. To that end, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) continues to drive a progressive research agenda to improve outcomes for patients who urgently need new therapies. Today LLS announced it has identified three priority areas toward which it will direct new funding.
LLS has issued a request for proposals entitled "Quest for Cures" from researchers focusing on these specific areas:
Proposals must include specific timelines, milestones and deliverables, and the range of funding will be between $200,000 to $400,000, annually for two years.
The Quest for Cures project is the first of a partnership between LLS and Celgene first announced in October, as part of LLS's new "Targets, Leads and Candidates Program", an initiative to identify and fund priority research areas with support from biotechnology and pharmaceutical partners.
"The Quest For Cures research topics are designed to gain a better understanding of the underlying causes leading to failure of current treatments and to identify novel therapeutic targets and ultimately new treatments," said Richard C. Winneker, Ph.D, LLS senior vice president of research. "These projects should, if successful, have a measurable impact on the diagnosis or treatment of patients with hematologic malignancies over the next 5 to 10 years."

text: We leave on Thursday... last trip in June we got our DME tags about 2wks (10 days or so I guess) before our arrival date.. we haven't received them yet! Is there any chance of receiving them at this point- like if I call them on Monday or something? Or can I call them NOW? I'm travelling alone with kids... I can't just decide to take all my luggage with me to avoid problems without the tags. I need them to take my luggage and I NEED to not have to worry about my luggage having "issues" or delays because of lack of tags! I really don't need long lines to handle this in "some way" once we get to MCO because we don't have tags. What exactly do you do if you don't have DME tags to put on your luggage but you are using DME? *sigh* ??

ISELIN, N.J., Oct. 12, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On Track Innovations Ltd, (OTI) (Nasdaq:OTIV), a global leader in contactless microprocessor-based smart card solutions for homeland security, payments, petroleum payments and other applications, announced today that it received over $2 million follow-on orders to deliver expansion for the previously installed ePassport personalization system and eStickers for a European country's electronic passport (ePassport) program. OTI successfully delivered and implemented an advanced infrastructure for ePassport issuing and border control passenger inspection and verification in this country, following the announcement by OTI in early 2008, which already accounted for more than $3 million in revenues. The ePassport system meets the latest standards for electronic passports set by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). The eStickers enable the upgrade of existing passports to ePassports. Deliveries of the eStickers are expected to begin in the fourth quarter this year with most of the deliveries expected next year. OTI's advanced eSticker (electronic secured sticker) is part of OTI's MAGNA™ platform, and is based on OTI's Hercules™ Operating System, providing a breakthrough solution by enabling the upgrade of existing passports to ePassports in a simple, quick and cost effective manner. The upgrade of existing passports is done by placing the secured eSticker, which includes the electronic components, within the existing passport. OTI's MAGNA™ modular platform offers short implementation and quick integration with the country's existing border control system and provides external interfaces to digital Certificate Authority (CA) for signature verification. The system fully complies with the ICAO standards, it offers a migration path to additional e-Gov applications and electronic ID documents, such as National IDs, Voter IDs Driver Licenses, and more. Oded Bashan, Chairman and CEO of OTI, stated, "The eSticker is a revolutionary solution enabling countries that would like to meet the advanced International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards. It enables a quick upgrade to electronic passports while keeping existing procedures in place. The eSticker is cost effective, allows countries to utilize their existing passport inventory and modernize their passport quickly."

I join railway through rrb cdg on 10dec1990in central telephone enquiry,new delhi and start working indipendently from 19/06/1991 after passing chandusi training institute
Now what will be my date of appointment and after completing 20 years sevice from which date my 2nd MACP will due.
why MACP does not convey or confer promotion rights along with it ? an employee with MACP is barred and not eligible for appearing for further promotion selection !! this is atrocious. MACP is granted to employees who have already slogged for more than 10-12 years without promotion. MACP only gives the next Gr. Pay and it then bars the employee from appearing for selection in the further promotional selection. This policy should be suitably modified to accommodate the employees to give right to appear for selections for promotions. otherwise the MACP scheme does not have any meaning. Thanks.
MACP is meant to give only financial relief. It is financial upgradation.

Mormons Leave Church Over Stance on Same-Sex Marriage
People were enraged last week when California passed Proposition 8 to ban same-sex marriage, but now opponents are lashing out at the Mormon church for its well-funded campaign against it. And Mormons themselves are speaking up.
OK, so they're not saying this (warning! NSFW profanity), but they are mad enough to resign from the church and post letters of disappointment on Signing For Something. Their reasons? Hatred, bigotry, and discrimination are cited the most, and claims are backed up with LDS doctrine, which says "We do not believe it just to mingle religious influence with civil government."
How can Mormons be blamed for a statewide vote? Besides misdirected anger, it didn't help that church authorities asked members to "do all [they] can to support the proposed constitutional amendment." And with that righteous request came millions of donated dollars to fund a campaign against Prop. 8 and produce what are clearly well-funded videos.
I've also heard some rumblings about straight people boycotting marriage. Would you ever leave your religion or not get married because gay people cannot?

Ferry SimilarMay 20, 2012
"Didn't this used to be a rock song?" Out in the car yesterday and Miss Plain Or Pan had pricked up her ears, for once, at what was shuffling on the iPod. Normally she can't stand my music (see Rod Stewart post below). When she's out with me in the car, she usually asks for West FM or Clyde 1 or any of those terrible, repetitive chart-orientated stations playing the the usual conveyor belt of pop-dance fodder introduced by thick 20-somethings with mid-Atlantic twangs belying their West Coast roots. She is 10, after all. That's why her statement caught me off guard. "That's Mother Of Pearl by Roxy Music," I reply. She'd been jokingly head banging to the first couple of minutes, where Phil Manzanera's electric guitar gamely leads an Eno-free Roxy through a series of mumbled, muttering voices, "Woo-hoos" and "Yaaawees" before giving way to Bryan Ferry's louch, laconic, lounge lizard drawl. "It's kinda like Bohemian Rhaposdy in reverse, with the rock bit at the start and the piano bit at the end, isn't it?" she reasoned. I couldn't have put it better myself. Except that Mother Of Pearl isn't the overplayed piece of ham that the Queen classic has since become.
Very much under the influence of the Eno-era Roxy Music were World Of Twist. Their star briefly shone at the tail end of whatever constituted 'baggy' and they very nearly threatened the charts on a couple of occasions, once with a cover of the Rolling Stones 'She's A Rainbow' and once with Sons Of The Stage. Sons Of The Stage is a monster of a record. Full of whooshing, bubbling synths and squealing guitars, it's almost Krautrock in delivery – motorik, repetitive and reasonably long. It was the second track on the bands 'Quality Street' LP, long-since deleted but worth 5 minutes of anyone's time tracking down an illegal copy online. Or a real one on eBay, I might add.
The more fashion-conscious of the monobrowed Mancs along with his band of Beady Eyed magpies recently covered Sons Of The Stage with all the craft and soul of a plank of wood. I won't sully the blog by featuring it, but I'm sure you know where to look, etc etc, blah blah blah.

Pioneer News Group Names Chief Operating Officer
Eric Johnston has been named chief operating officer for Pioneer News Group, a family-owned media company based out of Seattle, Wash. that's comprised of 26 small and medium-sized community newspapers in Washington, Utah, Oregon, Montana and Idaho.
Previously, Johnston was publisher of the Modesto Bee with oversight responsibilities for the Merced Sun and four weekly newspapers located in California's Central Valley owned by the McClatchy Co. He held key online and interactive positions with the Fresno Bee and Modesto Bee before being named publisher in 2009. While at McClatchy, Johnston earned two McClatchy President's Awards and two Newspaper Association of America 'Digital Edge' Awards.
"We're very excited to have Eric join Pioneer, "said Mike Gugliotto, president and CEO of Pioneer News Group. "He was the first publisher in the McClatchy Company to come from the digital ranks and brings with him unique and invaluable experience of both the print and digital side of the business. He's been involved with a number of industry-changing initiatives, fits our culture well and will be a great match with Pioneer's management team to help lead our company."
"I am proud to be joining Pioneer News Group, a company that not only has a strong family legacy and commitment, but is also dedicated to community journalism for the benefit of each and every reader – whether delivered to their mobile device, their desktop or their doorstep," Johnston said. "I have worked in this industry for more than 20 years, and believe in the mission of the community newspaper. I share Pioneer's desire to strengthen the industry, to develop new business opportunities and to solidify the foundation of journalism for generations to come."
Johnston is an Eagle Scout and a member of the Board of Directors for the California Newspaper Publishers Association. He's also a board member for the Education Foundation for Stanislaus County, Gallo Center for the Arts and Stanislaus Community Foundation.
Johnston is a graduate of California State University, Fresno with a bachelor of arts in journalism. He is married and has two daughters.

Giffords on Guns: 'Be Bold, Be Courageous'
Former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D., Ariz.) spoke at a Senate hearing on gun violence Wednesday, telling lawmakers to "be courageous," two years after being critically injured as a result of a gunshot wound to the head while speaking to constituents in a grocery-store parking lot.
"This is an important conversation for our children, for our communities, for Democrats and Republicans. Speaking is difficult, but I need to say something important. Violence is a big problem. Too many children are dying — too many children," she said. "We must do something. It will be hard, but the time is now. You must act. Be bold. Be courageous. Americans are counting on you. Thank you," Ms. Giffords, assisted by her husband, Mark Kelly, told the Senate judiciary committee.

Though publicly traded corporations have mostly shied away from new super PACs, one California energy giant is bucking the tide with a $2.5 million donation to a Republican group, new records show.
Chevron Corp. donated the money on Oct. 7 to the Congressional Leadership Fund, a super PAC focused on House races with close ties to Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio). The gift appears to be the largest contribution from a publicly traded corporation to a political group since the Supreme Court ruled in 2010 that companies could spend unlimited money on elections.
âChevron exercises its right to participate in the political process through various contributions,â the Concord, Calif.-based oil and gas firm said in a statement Friday. âAll of our political contributions are fully disclosed. We support political initiatives and candidates committed to economic development, creating affordable energy, strengthening American businesses, and delivering good government.â
The amount dwarfs the $1.2 million that Chevronâs political-action committee and its employees have given to federal candidates, primarily to Republicans such as Boehner and presidential nominee Mitt Romney, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. The firm has also spent nearly $15 million on Washington lobbying since the start of 2011.
In Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission and subsequent rulings, the courts have upended the campaign finance system by making it easier for corporations, unions and wealthy individuals to spend money directly on elections. The loosened regulations have led to a frenzy of spending by outside groups, particularly on the right.
But until now, major companies traded on the New York Stock Exchange or other markets have acted cautiously, fearing the kind of blowback that Target Corp. received in 2010 for helping pay for television ads on behalf of a Republican candidate opposed to gay marriage. Donations to conservative super PACs remain dominated by billionaires or closely held private firms, records show.
The $2.5 million from Chevron made up the bulk of the $3.1 million raised by the Congressional Leadership Fund from Oct. 1 to Oct. 17, according to an FEC disclosure filed Thursday. The super PAC and its affiliate, the American Action Network, have said they plan to spend more than $20 million this cycle backing House Republican candidates, who tend to oppose efforts to close tax loopholes for oil companies as well as energy industry regulations.

Preservice elementary teachers should experience science through inquiry in order to be effective in teaching science. In addition, inquiry as a mode of teaching is mandated by Kansas and National Science Education Standards. As a result of the No Child Left Behind Act, teachers also need to be prepared to include basic skills in reading and mathematics in all instruction. To address these issues, Fort Hays State University (FHSU) is adapting and extending the NSF-developed teacher enhancement materials Operation Primary Physical Science (OPPS) for use in a physical science course for preservice elementary teachers. This paper presents main features of OPPS, describes advantages of using it as a template in developing desired course material and discusses results collected with students enrolled in the adapted course during 2004/2005 academic year.

Olay ProX Advanced Cleansing System
Olay ProX Advanced Cleansing System Reviews
Outstanding productI used to covet the Clairsonic Mia, but couldn't bring myself to spend the money. Then I heard about this Olay item that is very similar so I started researching. Reviews are all positive so I started watching for it. It's so popular it was sold out at my local Target the first couple times I tried to get it. Finally it was in stock and I fell in love after the first use. It exfoliates very nicely...read more, but gently and leaves my skin so very soft. It works great with any cleanser--I rotate, depending on the day and what my skin needs, between the sample scrub that came with it, my usual St. Ives scrub and my Fresh Soy face cleanser. My boyfriend has even used it with his Neutrogena for men face wash and he loves it, too. He probably uses it once a week and I use it 3 or 4 times a week and so far the battery seems to be lasting really well. It has two speeds, but I'm partial to the faster one. I definitely recommend this item, for what it costs compared to the Clairsonic version, it is most definitely worth it. — 5 years, 5 months agotallredamanda | 433 reviews

Incredible!What a great product at a great price! It leaves my skin feeling velvety smooth, especially when used with the accompanying cleanser. It is like a mini spa in the shower. The bristles are nice and soft, while still being able to get the job done. The product is not too loud and has different speed settings.

Darn, I wish I didn't like this! ;)My mom bought one and loved it, so she bought one for me, too! Thanks, mom. :) I was hoping I wouldn't like it; I use the Olay mico kit and it is faaabulous. I also use Clinique 7 Day Scrub almost daily, so I know the importance of exfoliating and refining the skin/pores, in particular with oily/combo skin which is exactly what I have. However, since I have a good routine down and love my skin, I ...read morethought why would I need yet another product? I was wrong. After the first time I used this, I could feel a difference. My skin was smoother and looked both cleaner and clearer. However, it is still a bit of a pain in the butt to use a brush daily, if not 2x a day. Especially on mornings when I am in a hurry! I think I will start using in the evenings when I have more time for a little "me time." I also wasn't crazy about the cleanser that came with it (it had a strange smell and consistency), but my mom is using another cleanser all together and it works just fine, so I will do the same. I would definitely recommend, especially if you have oilier skin I think this will really help for those breakouts and blackheads, especially around the nose and chin. The brush is very gentle so no need to worry about scratching your skin; it is really made for all types of skin and you will be able to tell a difference. It is also a WAY better price point than Clarisonic, which is ridiculously overpriced. Olay often has coupons in the paper too, if you are on a budget like me. :) Happy exfoliating!

The bye week is over, which means we can bid farewell to Sundays without a loss. Not great. The likelihood of the Bills breaking the curse and transforming the "win column" from a 0 to a 1? Not likely. We're facing the Ravens in Baltimore. Again, not great. Here's to hoping it doesn't end up looking like Edgar Allan Poe's horror story.
No, I haven't completely given up hope. Up until the very last game of the season, I'm pretty sure I'll enter every match up with that idealistic optimism that maybe we'll finally pull out a win. It is not naivety, delusion or stupidity; it's simply faith in the fact that the Buffalo Bills are not as terrible as the last five weeks have made us seem and that somewhere along the line (preferably sometime before 2013), we'll get our sh&% together.
Until then, I'm tasked with finding something to analyze in this pregame rundown. It's getting harder and harder. Baltimore is good–and every good team seems to be even better against us.
Our defense used to be my go-to "saving grace" but lately, I'm not so sure. With Terrence McGhee out, Leodis McKelvin will start in his place against Baltimore's top receiver. McKelvin is solid so we can only hope he holds his own against Anquan Boldin, who is much more physical…and against Flacco's sufficiently good arm.
I'd like to think our offense will continue its transformation into an offense, with Fitz finding Stevie Johnson and my Lee and Freddy J owning the ground. But, B-more's defense is known for executing shut downs, ranked third in the league for points allowed per game. What…a potentially crippling situation.
We'll be relying on C.J. Spiller to get us good field position as our not-so-secret weapon on kick returns (touchdown would be borderline amazing) and Rian Lindell will probably be called on to hit some long FGs in our fight for points.
All I'm looking for here is to bow out of this game with dignity and for the Bills to put up a good fight.

Chapter 1:
A small Po-Matoran with a powerless mask of rebounding was running through the desert with a strange contraption on his back. "It's getting closer, must go faster" he muttered to himself.
He was already running as fast as he could, and just as all hope seemed to be gone, on the horizon and great rock-like structure appeared. It meant one thing. It meant safety. He put on a burst of extra speed when he saw this, but his intentions were foiled when beneath him the chasing rahi emerged from the sand. The matoran was flung into the air and landed with a thud. The contraption on his back landed several meters away from him, but the rahi wasn't interested in that. It was hungry. And the matoran seemed like a good meal. All hope seemed to be gone for the little matoran, when over the sand tarakava's head jumped a kikinalo, with a ta-matoran riding on it.
"Need a ride?" He asked.
"Do I ever" replied the po-matoran, as he was pulled up, grabbing the strange contraption, as he was whisked away towards safety.
"Couldn't have arrived any earlier could you Aiefe?" asked the matoran.
"Oh stop your complaining Pekai, you should be thankful that I arrived when I did, otherwise you would be Tarakava dinner!"
"Ok, ok, sorry for asking, anyway I found something. Some underground monument like structure. I wasn't sure what it was so I decided to come back, that's when I ran into the Tarakava"
"It's always you Pekai" Sighed Aiefe.
"Hey! It's not my fault that I'm adventurous!" replied Pekai.
"I suppose not, anyway, we're nearly back, so get your contraption ready, this better be good".
With the Kikinalo grazing safely on the bottom floor, the two matoran made their way up a rough set of stairs to the top floor of their hideout. Looking out they could see where the Tarakava had attacked, and its trails leading away.
"So where's this temple thing you were talking about" asked Aiefe.
"See between those two mountains over there?" Pekai said pointing to the horizon
"Well there's a smaller hill located there, it's there, and in true fashion I kind of fell through the front door" Pekai replied.
"Well I can't argue, you have style"
"Anyway, I think we should go investigate it tomorrow." said Pekai.
"Are you serious, you know how much more active the Tarakava have become recently, it would be a suicide trip!" Replied Aiefe clearly concerned.
"I have to find out what's in that temple, you can come if you want, but I'm not forcing you, I feel like this is my destiny. Something's drawing me towards it. You can't stop me from that!" exclaimed Pekai.
"Well...I guess someone will have to save you from getting into trouble, and you will get into trouble. You always do" Replied Aiefe.
"Well, let's get some rest and set out early tomorrow morning, it's going to be a long day!" exclaimed Pekai, with emphasis on the long.
The two companions set out the next morning with all the kit they would need. Pekai carried his stone sword, a bag of rocks and his catapult, whilst Aiefe took his crossbow and arrows. Together riding the kikinalo the journey was shorter than Pekai's journey was the previous day. Their conversations varied from topic to topic.
"The way the shortage of food is going, we might even have to enter the great forest" Aiefe pointed out.
"Let's focus on the positives for once can we Aiefe? And anyway, we need a plan for this temple" Replied Pekai.
"So what does it look like?"
"I didn't get time to see it clearly; I kind of had a Tarakava problem. All I can remember is that it was big with pillars, a statue and an alter-like object in the centre" Exclaimed Pekai.
"Hmm, well it's defiantly a temple then, maybe to the great spirit?"
"Maybe, but I'm not too sure..."Pekai started to reply, but never finished his answer.
"It's... unbelievable" Stuttered Aiefe.
"I know right?" Said Pekai sniggering.
The two matoran were stood just inside of the door to the temple. The bright, harsh sunlight light a path to the main attraction in the room... the Alter. At a closer look two strange looking stones lay on the Alter, but from where Pekai and Aiefe were standing they didn't notice them. They were too occupied by the statues either side of the Alter. They were two different Toa, each with a mask that looked strangely familiar to the two matoran.
"Well shall we?" Pekai said, indicating to the illuminated path leading to the Alter. The pair walked, briskly, towards the Alter stopping a few feet away. The stones were clearly visible now. One a brownish colour, the other red, both rectangular with rounded edges and two different, yet similar symbols carved into the centre.
"What are they?" Asked Pekai whilst he reached out to grab the stone on the right.
"Wait, don't touch it!" Aiefe said, warning Pekai.
It was too late though, and once the first stone was removed, Pekai started glowing, getting brighter and brighter. Had the adventurous matoran not been so impulsive and read the inscription on the altar. It would have read 'Here two stones lie, waiting for the destined. Only the destined can take the stone. Only the destined can make the transformation', but since Pekai picked up the stone, without reading the inscription, he didn't know this. The light filled the whole temple, and Aiefe even had to avert his eyes till the brightness disappeared. And then there was silence.

Wrightsville Beach, NC, United States, 2006/04/27 - Copper Press Publishers has joined forces with Laugh for the Cure® in Charlotte, NC to help eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease of interest to editors and journalist covering mainstream novels and local events.
Copper Press Publishers has joined forces with Laugh for the Cure® to help eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease. From now until the Laugh for the Cure® Event in August 2006, fifty percent of the sales of Kevin E. Cropps The Time Keeper generated from this event will be donated to Laugh for the Cure® (LFTC), a charity and comedy event benefiting The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
The Time Keeper is a novel based on Cropps personal experience. It takes place in Fayetteville, NC and is about Linda Wails, a thirty-eight year old mother and her seventeen year old son, Corey, who do not get along. When Linda finds out her cancer has come back she knows it is now or never to make amends. My mother was first diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 32. I have experienced first hand how this disease can affect people and it is a cause that has become very important to me, says Cropp. I only hope that my lessons can now help others, and am excited that we will be donating to such a worthy cause.
Laugh for the Cure® is a grass-roots effort that has quickly developed into one of Charlotte's most anticipated and unique fundraising events. Founded in 2002, LFTC has raised over $77,000 for the Charlotte Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation and $22,000 for the Komen Eastern Washington Affiliate. Tammy Greyshock, Founder and Director of the event said, We are excited to partner with Copper Press Publishers and Kevin Cropp. Laugh for the Cure® is a volunteer driven effort and we believe that through new partnerships like this, we can further our mission to eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease. As a community, we can always do more together than we can apart. LFTC will bring our guests an evening of laughter and Kevin will bring our guests a real-life story that will touch their hearts.
The novel will be on sale at copperpresspublishers.com, as well as at the Laugh for the Cure® event held at The Comedy Zone in Charlotte, North Carolina on August 16, 2006. Kevin Cropp will be on hand to autograph books and meet the guests.

I'm having my otoplasty stitches removed exactly 21 days after surgery. They're not infected, only a little sore. will removing them after waiting so long be very painful?
What Happens when Otoplasty Stitches Are Left in Too Long?
Doctor Answers 6
Otoplasty sutures in too long?
The deep sutures placed in otoplasty to reshape the cartilage are usually permanent, so they are never removed. Skin sutures, on the other hand, are usually removed in about a week. Often, I will use dissolvable skin sutures, but will still remove them after a week or so. Leaving sutures in for too long can lead to unfavorable scarring.
Otoplasty Suture Removal Timing
Otoplasty involves two sets of sutures. There are sutures in the cartilage which are under the skin and will remain in your ears for the rest of your life. Sometimes you can feel a little bump where a know is from these sutures but usually you can't.
The other set of sutures is in the skin. These hold the skin together until it is healed and then they are removed. I use disolvable sutures which often times don't need to be removed because they simply fall out after a week or two. If your surgeon used non-dissolving sutures then they need to be removed. Usually they would be removed about a week after surgery. If they are left for a long time, they can leave marks in the skin. Of course, in this situation the marks would be in the crease behind your ear where no one could see them. Removing these stitches might hurt a little, but not much. The fact that it is 3 weeks after surgery isn't likely to make it hurt any different than if it were one week.

Sutures & Otoplasty
Permanent non absorbable skin sutures are typically removed in 7 to 10 days following otoplasty. When sutures are left in place for longer periods, several potential problems can occur. Although increased pain may occur with late suture removal, this is rarely a problem. In the vast majority of patients, the most significant consequence of delayed suture removal is increased scarring.
It's important to realize that no two patients are the same and that in some cases it may be appropriate to leave sutures in place for longer periods of time. If you have questions about this topic, it's important to discuss them with your surgeon.

Otoplasty Sutures...
There are many different options for suturing an otoplasty incision. I use dissolvable sutures so no removal is needed. If we were to use sutures that don't dissolve, I would typically take them out in 7-10 days. After 21 days they may a little more sensitive, but it shouldn't be too bad. The most important thing is having a nice long lasting result from your otoplasty
Otoplasty ear plastic surgery sutures are usually removed 6 days after the procedure
Otoplasty ear plastic surgery sutures are usually removed 6 days after the procedure. Many times the sutures that are put are absorbable and will dissolve on its own. If they were left in longer than that, the absorbable sutures are not likely going to make a huge difference in terms of your end result. But if they are the permanent kind, you could get what you call train track markings. Essentially the pressure from the sutures when they are left in too long will cause marks to form that resembe train tracks. This is the reason that surgeons don't tie the sutures too tight nor leave them in too long.
Thanks for reading, Dr Young
Stitches in Otoplasty
Otoplasty requires placing a new fold in the ears that is present in most of the population, but is lacking in individuals with prominent ears. After the fold is created, sutures are placed to keep the ear from returning to the position it was in prior to the surgery. For most surgeons, these sutures are not removed and generally the ear cartilage accepts them without reaction. There are a second set of sutures that are placed on the skin. These sutures are removed in about one week after surgery in my practice. The skin sutures are placed because a skin incision is required to gain access to the cartilage in the back of the ear. If the sutures are in the skin too long, scarring of the skin can occur, like those in scars that look like "railroad tracks". If you have questions about how long your sutures should be left in place, the best bet is to contact your surgeon and clarify these concerns.

The latest update has arrived for Chrome OS, and in a bit of good news for those using a Chromebook — this update is for the stable channel. Google will have this particular update rolling out over the "next several days" and bringing things to Chrome OS version 34.0.1847.118 (with Platform version 5500.100.0). More important though — the new features.
Chrome OS users can expect several goodies this time around, one of which deals with window management. Users will notice a new side dock which will allow you to dock small windows and panels to the screen edges. And nicely, windows are all automatically managed using this mode.
Other highlights include Sticky Keys and an onscreen keyboard. The former means users will be able to perform keyboard shortcuts (or mouse+keyboard gestures) by pressing the keys in a particular sequence as opposed to simultaneously. The onscreen keyboard is just as the name would suggest — an onscreen keyboard. This comes complete with a top row, which means the device features such as volume are now available with the touch of a finger, or a pointing device such as a mouse.
Lastly, Google also mentioned how Google Drive offline backup is now turned on by default after the first login. We suspect many Chrome OS users will be happy for this change, but alas, should you not want Drive offline backup active — you now know to go ahead and turn it off manually. Once again, this update will be pushing to Chrome devices over the next few days.

US suspects Assad used chemical weapons
The White House said on Thursday that Syria had likely used chemical weapons against rebel forces on a "small scale," but emphasised US spy agencies were still not 100 per cent sure of the assessment.
US intelligence services had been investigating reports that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's forces had used chemical arms – a move Washington has said would cross a "red line," triggering possible military action.
"Our intelligence community does assess with varying degrees of confidence that the Syrian regime has used chemical weapons on a small scale in Syria," US National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said.
The assessment, which she said was based in part on "physiological samples," points to the possible use of sarin, a man-made nerve agent used in two attacks in Japan in the 1990s. It can cause convulsions, respiratory failure and death.
Hayden however warned the chain of custody of the weapons was "not clear, so we cannot confirm how the exposure occurred and under what conditions."
"Given the stakes involved, and what we have learned from our own recent experience, intelligence assessments alone are not sufficient," she said.
US Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel, speaking in Abu Dhabi, said the decision to release the intelligence report had been "made within the past 24 hours" and warned that use of such weapons "violates every convention of warfare."
In London, Britain's Foreign Office too said it had "limited but persuasive" evidence of the use of chemical agents in Syria's grinding civil war, which the UN says has left more than 70,000 people dead since it began in March 2011.
Mounting evidence of chemical weapons attacks on fighters battling Assad's regime could increase the pressure on US President Barack Obama – who has sought to avoid any US military role in the conflict – to intervene.
His administration laid out the intelligence assessment in a letter to US lawmakers from Miguel Rodriguez, director of the White House office of legislative affairs.
"We do believe that any use of chemical weapons in Syria would very likely have originated with the Assad regime," the letter said.
So far, US intelligence indicates that "the Assad regime maintains custody of these weapons, and has demonstrated a willingness to escalate its horrific use of violence against the Syrian people," the letter said.
Earlier this week, an Israeli general in military intelligence alleged that Syria had used chemical agents more than once during the protracted civil war, after Britain and France had voiced similar concerns to the United Nations.
Last month, during a historic visit to Israel, Obama said the use of such weapons would be a "grave and tragic" mistake on Assad's behalf and that it would be a "game changer."
Asked if the intelligence assessment meant that Syria had passed the declared "red line," Hagel said that was a policy question and that his task was to provide the US president with "options."
Chemical weapons are "uncontrollable deadly weapons" that most leaders view as being in a "different category," Hagel said at the end of a Middle East tour with meetings in Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates.
Senior US Senator John McCain, who was one of the lawmakers who received a letter from the administration about Syria, said the key now was to ensure chemical weapons did not fall into the wrong hands.
"Some of them are in heavily contested areas and could easily fall into the hands of jihadist extremists," he told CNN.

Dauphine thanks community
It has been my extraordinary privilege to serve as a judicial officer in this community for more than 15 years and I appreciate the interest expressed in my retirement and the upcoming judicial elections.
Before being appointed to the bench, I served as a board member and participant in many community service organizations, including as president of the Monterey County Bar Association, and I plan to continue to serve our community in the years ahead. The timing of my retirement is not based on politics, but on what is best for my family.
Although I was appointed by a Republican governor, I have never been a Republican. I fully support all of Gov. Jerry Brown's judicial appointments in our county, especially his most recent, which have included Carrie Panetta and Vanessa Vallarta.
Throughout my years as a judge, I have encouraged a number of extraordinary individuals, of diverse legal backgrounds (civil, probate, criminal and family law, among others), to consider applying for appointment to the bench.
Though most of us on the Monterey County bench were appointed by the governor, state court judge is an elective office and I support the process of election, as well as appointment.
I am fortunate to have known Stephanie Hulsey for more than a decade, through community organizations, her professional work and our work together to help resolve the critical issues facing the youth in our community.
As has been acknowledged by many attorneys here, Hulsey has the character, demeanor and experience to be an outstanding judge, and she has my full support.

Hate is real barrier to peace
The Jan. 17 letter demonizing Israel ignores realities.
Israelis are indeed free to criticize Israel, a sign of a vibrant democracy. Seldom is a Palestinian voice raised against the Palestinian campaign of hatred and terrorism.
The letter's accusations against Israel actually fit the Palestinian leadership. The phrase "demonize and dehumanize" describes the Palestinian media, the education system and the Palestinian leaders who continually attack Jews and Israel's right to exist.
A Jan. 6 New York Times article points to "incitement" by Palestinians and gives "dozens of examples ... documenting negative statements about Israel and Jews" in its media and in textbooks used in Palestinian authority schools.
Teaching hatred in schools and denying Israel's history and their right to exist won't bring peace. Israel releases terrorists convicted of killing Israelis to promote the peace process. The Palestinian leadership welcomes them home as heroes.
The writer ignores the fact the separation fence was built to stop suicide bombers who were killing and injuring Israelis in restaurants and on buses. The fence isn't the barrier to peace between Israel and Palestinians.
Years of teaching and preaching hate are the real barriers to peace.

Technology lost desalination cost
There are many reasons for not rushing the California American Water proposed desalination plant. Read the internet article by the Tampa Bay Times.
It is interesting to note the Tampa desalination plant is the largest in the United States and only cost $158 million, including a $40 million cost overrun.
Why will our significantly smaller Cal Am proposed desalination plant cost $400 million or more?
There is new filtration technology being developed by MIT and Lockheed Martin that could dramatically reduce desalination cost.
Lockheed Martin received a patent for perforene material, a molecular filtration system designed to meet the growing global demand for potable water. The perforene membrane features holes that are 1 nanometer, 1 billionth of a meter or less, in a graphene sheet. Small enough to trap sodium, chlorine and other ions from seawater, the holes dramatically improve the flow-through of water molecules, reducing clogging and pressure on the membrane.
Made of pure carbon and similar to graphite, graphene is only one atom thick, allowing water to flow through 100 times better than current reverse osmosis systems, making it more effective at desalination at a fraction of the cost.

Important to run comics classics
While I agree with Ed Leeper's Jan. 19 letter that removing "Peanuts" from the comics is like removing a classic book from the library, I also think it's more important that The Herald keep the classics drawn by living cartoonists such as Chris Browne's "Hagar the Horrible," Mort Walker's "Beetle Bailey," Bil Keane's "Family Circus" and Jim Davis' "Garfield."
In most cases, the size of their salaries is determined by how many papers still publish their comics. Too many cancellations for a comic cartoonist can often cause early retirement or poorer quality work, so all newspaper readers really lose out in the end.
