SAN JOSE (Reuters) - Costa Rica on Tuesday declared an emergency to tackle the spread of a coffee fungus that has already devastated Central American producers and looks set to destroy about 12 percent of Costa Rica's planted coffee in the upcoming 2013/14 harvest.
A two-year emergency bill, signed jointly by Costa Rica's Vice President Luis Liberman and the national coffee institute ICAFE, provisions about $4 million to pay for fungicides to tackle the roya, or leaf rust, outbreak.
Jorge Ramirez, technical manager at ICAFE, said that 11,350 hectares of Costa Rica's roughly 93,000 hectares of planted coffee are expected to be lost during the 2013/2014 harvest.
Agriculture Minister Gloria Abraham said 11,000 hectares have already been "severely affected" by the fungus, exacerbated by low rainfall, with another 9,400 hectares moderately damaged.
"We estimate our coffee producers will lose $15 million as a result of this (outbreak)," said Costa Rica's Vice President Luis Liberman at the signing of the phytosanitary bill.
ICAFE President Ronald Peters said that the latest estimate for the 2012/2013 harvest is for 1.61 million 60-kilogram bags, while a preliminary estimate for the 2013/2014 harvest is for 1.46 million 60-kilogram bags.
Some 153,000 bags could be lost to the roya fungus from the 2013/14 harvest, Peters added. Roya kills coffee leaves by sapping them of nutrients and lowering bean yields.
The current roya pandemic has already affected other countries in Central America and Mexico, home to more than a fifth of the world's arabica coffee production.
In El Salvador, as much as half of the country's coffee is infected by roya, while in neighboring Guatemala, 40 percent of roughly 274,000 hectares (677,000 acres) have been hit by roya and output is projected to drop by 14 percent this season.
In Honduras, the region's top coffee producer, officials say they already expect to produce 306,000 fewer 60-kg bags in the current season due to roya, or 5 percent of projected exports, and at least a tenth of the planted crop has been blighted.

In My Room
This Illustration was inspired by my favorite beach boys song.
As a child my room was my sanctuary, it wasn't very big but it was mine. Weather I was writing crappy songs, drawing or watching movies it was a judge free zone. I think everyone can relate to that, we all had our private place. Rivers Cuomo had his garage, Brian Wilson and I had our rooms.

Barack the Builder
After watching Obama's inauguration I was inspired. For the first time in a long time I felt proud to be an American. His speech set the bar super high, and I admire his ambition. This illustration is my America under construction sign. Because I feel we all need to step back and take a good look at the state of our country and do some major reconstruction. Time to get to work.

This illustration was inspired by the show Flight of the Conchords on HBO. A very funny show with two talented musicians from new zealand (Jermain and Bret). This is a design for their new poster.

Top 10 signs you may be charging too little
As a freelancer I had to find this out the hard way.
Number 10: Your client mistakes your daily rate for an hourly one.
Number 9: You've won every job you've ever pitched for.
Number 8: Even though you work 80 hour weeks your income level qualifies you for welfare payments.
Number 7: New clients are always asking what "the catch" is.
Number 6: Clients pay your invoices in cash from their wallet.
Number 5: Other freelancers regularly send you hatemail.
Number 4: Your old clients don't even bother asking you how much something is going to cost.
Number 3: You never run out of work, yet you are subsisting on baked beans and 2 minute noodles.
Number 2: Your 12 year old brother earns more spending cash than you flipping burgers.

Companies have been calling from India wanting to outsource their work to you.

That's Life
A few things I work on in 08. I have been messing with this character for years which is based on a younger version of me. Sporting a fro and his acoustic guitar, he is an insecure, chubby little mexican kid. Who, with the company of his equally awkward, long haired, glasses wearing friend, find themselves in all kinds of wacky shinanigans. Uh oh, what will these two think of next! I know painfully cheesy. Ha ha.
All I can say about 08 is that it was a hectic year. I'm hoping I learned something from it and will better decisions next time around. The year ended fantastically with my wedding and honeymoon to hawaii. But, artistically it was a pretty bum year. I did not manage to do much creatively, I was so caught up in work and the wedding that I let this whole year just fly by. Now that its over and I have time to reflect Im starting to realize I'm going to have to take charge of my career in order to be where I want. This year has put a lot of uncertainty and doubt in my head, as far as job security and if I can ever feel secure, while working for someone else. I am optimistic about the future though. I got some experience under my belt and feel I have grown as a multi-tasking designer/illustrator/production artist thingy, and I am going into 09 swinging!

Ohio Boy Receives Reagan Letter; 30 Years Later, His Creative Agency Wins Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation & Institute Contract
Hailing from the Midwest, U! Creative, Inc. beat out multiple Southern California creative agencies to win Reagan Foundation contract to first relaunch their website, then redesign their logo and Brand Guidelines.
December 20, 2017—Miamisburg, OH—More than three decades have passed since Ron Campbell wrote a letter to the 40th President of the United States, Ronald Reagan. He wrote to tell the president he was praying for him, after President Reagan survived an assassination attempt in March of 1981. To his surprise, Campbell received a response—and 30 years later, Campbell brought that letter with him when he went to meet with the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation & Institute.
Located in Simi Valley, the Reagan Foundation also houses the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, the largest of 13 presidential libraries in the United States. Last year, they released a Request for Proposal, seeking a partner who could relaunch their website. From a long list of applicants, and a rigorous interview process, the Reagan Foundation chose U! Creative for the project, and today, students and historians across the world have limitless access to a full archive of presidential history...
The top-ranked Presidential Library in the world was serving over a million visitors a year on their website. Last updated in 2009, the site needed an overhaul to improve readability, mobile function, content flexibility and robust business system integration. With the additional need to incorporate their new Institute in Washington D.C. into their offering, the overall brand, logo mark and the website itself were in need of presidential attention.
It's a tall order to be enlisted to uphold the legacy of one of the greatest U.S. Presidents. So when it came to the logo and brand… it must be presidential and live up to the highest of standards ever ready to grace the oval office. Moving on to the website, we designed a solution that would not only elevate the brand, but also meet the needs of all stakeholders, both internal and external. So whether visitors want to conduct research, buy tickets, shop, explore programs and more, the site is optimized to meet their needs in fewer clicks.
The logo and brand was presented and quickly blessed by President Reagan's Chief of Staff and Official Spokesperson for two decades, Mrs. Joanne Drake. The site launches with overwhelming acceptance by both the Reagan internal team and visitors to the site as everything is much easier to use, update, and navigate.

The finalised nomination list for the Lovelace by-election was published this morning (September 1) by Guildford Borough Council (GBC). As expected there are four candidates, one each for the Conservative, Labour, Liberal Democrat and UKIP parties.
The Guildford Greenbelt Group (GGG) were unable to field their own candidate as the party has not yet completed the necessary registration with the Electoral Commissioner.
Instead the campaign group have endorsed both the Conservative and the Lib Dem candidates, both GGG members, who are opposing the level of house building proposed in the Draft Local Plan, in particular the idea of building a completely new settlement on the old Wisley airfield site.
Robin Woof , the Labour candidate, also stood in 2011 when he came second behind the runaway Conservative winner, the late John Garrett, pushing the Lib Dems into third place.
However, reports received indicate that Colin Cross and his Lib Dem colleagues are pleased with the response they are getting in their doorstep canvassing and are hoping for a much better result this time.
It is the first time UKIP have contested the council seat and observers will be watching to see if their success at the European elections will be reflected in support given to David Sheppard in a local election where local issues are likely to be unusually prominent.
The Mole Valley Conservative Association's controversial selection, of Ben Paton as the Conservative candidate will have interesting consequences at Millmead if he is successful. He has been a vociferous critic of the Tory led borough council and it is hard to see how he could smoothly fit in to the Conservative Group.
The Guildford Dragon NEWS has already interviewed three of the four candidates: Colin Cross (Lib Dem), Ben Paton (Conservative) and David Sheppard (UKIP) and hopes to publish an interview with Robin Woof, the Labour candidate, soon. No photo has yet been obtained of Robin Woof.
Editor Comment – Thanks to Guildford Dragon News for this report

The hurdle now is to find drugs that deactivate the Myc gene in humans. Felsher experiments worked because the group. A modified Myc gene could create responsive to doxycycline To ensure that work the same trick in human cancers, researchers need a drug that binds to the Myc protein and makes it unusable.
If the labeled cells they mice, they quickly formed liver cancer. Feeding the mice doxycycline off again Myc and eliminated the cancer.But this time the researchers could easily detect the cells because of their green label. In humans. Color, they looked like normal liver cells and produced liver proteins. These cells were proof that turning off the Myc gene changes the cell fate, rather than from outright killing.

I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-to-Die is the second studio album by the influential San Francisco psychedelic rock band, Country Joe and the Fish, released in 1967. Recordings took place in Vanguard studios in 71 West 23rd Street, New York City.[1] The title track remains one of the most popular Vietnam protest songs from the 1960s and originally appeared on a 1965 7" EP titled Rag Baby: Songs of Opposition. On the album, "I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-to-Die Rag" appears following "The Fish Cheer", which at concerts became a Country Joe standard. At Woodstock, Joe had the crowd yell F-U-C-K instead of F-I-S-H. Another musical highlight is the track "Janis" written for McDonald's then-girlfriend Janis Joplin. It is the second song written for a female musician for their albums, the other being "Grace". Two singles were released in the wake of the album. These include "Janis"/"Janis (instrumental)" and "Who Am I"/"Thursday".[4]
The second album was released just seven months after the debut and is another prime example of the band's psychedelic experimentation. It again features organ-heavy psychedelia and Eastern melodic lines and more acoustic guitar than their debut production.[5] During this time, the band continued to build on their growing fame by performing at local venues like the Fillmore Auditorium.[6] Despite the familiarity of the opening track, the album itself sold less than its predecessor.[7] The album, as a whole, fit well in the psychedelic scene of San Francisco. The band effectively used satirical humor to express their outspoken views toward the Vietnam War and other hot topics of the counterculture. Although the rest of the tracks were not as popular, they still were accessible and showcased Country Joe McDonald as a lead vocalist. With the creativity of the band reaching a climax, the band began touring nationally and became positively regarded for their live light shows.[8]
The title song faced a legal challenge from the estate of New Orleans jazz trombone pioneer Edward "Kid" Ory, whose daughter Babette claimed that McDonald had appropriated the melody for his song from Ory's classic "Muskrat Ramble" as recorded by Louis Armstrong & his Hot Five in 1926. A 2005 judgment upheld McDonald's copyright on the song, claiming that Ory had waited too long to make the claim.
The original album sleeve contained a poster for "The Fish Game", a huge 22 x 33-inch fold-out board game sheet for throwing a dice and moving five band-member cut-out paper pieces around on. Various goals are available for the game such as "scoring a joint".[7]

A couple of weeks ago I shared some of my favorite versions of the classic Disney tune Not In Nottingham...which even included a bad version by yours truly. Well, because of that "research" this song has been popping up as recommended viewing on YouTube. Voila! The amazing version from the Spanish release of the film showed up and changed my life forever. A Thanksgiving Eve miracle! Enjoy.

The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) program called "Honoring Those Who Served" provides Military Funeral Honors for eligible veterans. Honors typically consist of two or more uniformed service members folding and presenting a U.S. burial flag to the family, and playing of Taps. A gun salute by a rifle squad is reserved for veterans who retired from military service, service members killed on active duty, and Medal of Honor recipients.
Department of Defense policy allows for Military Honors to be performed one time for each veteran – Military Honor Guards will not perform Funeral Honors a second time.
A veteran's family or funeral home is responsible for requesting Military Funeral Honors. For more information, see CalVet's Military Funeral Honors Fact Sheet, or visit DoD's Military Funeral Honors website.

Cloud-Device Startup Nebula Takes Aim at Seattle Engineers
It's not just the Silicon Valley giants of technology who are moving into the Seattle area to raid technical talent from Microsoft, Amazon, and others. These days, you're just as likely to see some well-financed startups wooing the big-company guys with promises of changing the world.
A prime example is Nebula, a cloud computing startup that has about half of its roughly 30-person staff in Seattle. As Xconomy's Wade Roush wrote in this detailed profile of the company, Nebula is selling a smarter version of a networking switch, one that is integrated with the open-source cloud computing platform OpenStack. Specifically, the Nebula device contains a 10 gigabit Ethernet switch along with access to the OpenStack software platform—a combination the company is calling a "cloud controller."
Nebula's device, which is just now being tested by potential customers, will allow companies to cheaply build private cloud computing systems. Nebula's device uses customized OpenStack software and works with inexpensive, commodity servers, including hardware from the Facebook-sponsored Open Compute Project.
It's worth mentioning that Nebula's CEO, Chris Kemp, is one of the co-founders of OpenStack. He helped get the project off the ground when he was the chief technology officer for IT at NASA, working out of its Ames Research Center in Mountain View, CA.
Kemp's also no stranger to Seattle. He was a key employee at Classmates.com, and co-founded the vacation rental management startup Escapia before heading to NASA. Another veteran of Escapia and NASA, Devin Carlen, is a Nebula co-founder and its engineering vice president, based in the Seattle area.
When I visited Nebula's temporary digs recently, Carlen and Kemp were in that tired-but-excited phase of developing a new company and getting the first versions of their product out to testing. Their conference room was peppered with notes and diagrams, piles of hardware, and the occasional wine bottle, as engineers worked intently in an office down the hall. The company's current hiring plans will put it at about 50 people in the next six months or so, and a bit more than half of the team will probably be based in Palo Alto, CA. But "all the cool kids are in Seattle, of course," Carlen says with a smile.
"Seattle's actually been our secret weapon," Kemp says. "We found it very difficult to bring folks on in the Bay Area. And, as it turns out, Amazon's a great place to recruit from. Microsoft's a great place to recruit from."
Those hires include a pair that Nebula boasted about in a recent press release: principal engineer Tres Henry, a former lead in developing the Amazon Web Services Management Console; and Matt Gambardella, who … Next Page »

Second Life Convention: SL Views and my views
The second day of SLCC has been pretty much a full day of sessions, originally I was planning to go to the non-profits in Second Life (which was led by the person from American Cancer Society), and wanted to tie that into Camp ASCCA (the blog has uploaded its 300th media clip today, congrats Robert French) and Ike Piggot, who has put Accentuate the Positive 2.0 on hold for a big job at American Red Cross....
But, I woke up late and then got a spot in the SL Views session. The first half was a more deep tech session, but I was able to put in some views as a newbie and consumer thinking, and the second half was lead by Catherine Smith, director of marketing, on marketing SL and marketing SL companies.
The session was off-the-record, so I can not go too in-depth on what happened, but the interesting point is that SL businesses have the same issues and questions about PR in SL as small businesses in RL have about PR in RL.
The SLCC was an interesting event. Some of the people were what you expected at an avatar / online world conference, and others were more surprising. Yes, I bought the T-shirt, and yes, once again there seemed to be just me and one other PR person there to learn / experience SL moreso, and be able to give better counsel to clients and our agencies. I was a little suprised that Text 100 was not there, especially after their big to-do about their SL office, but not surprised that other PR voices who hype SL were not there. But, then again, this seemed like a replay of Vloggercon - some people just talk the talk, while some of us go to the events to participate. And, well, the social part of social media is participation, but some people do not get that.
A note to self for work: just because it's cool, does not mean you need to shoe horn every damned client into the environment, or open an office. How about just experiencing the environment, learn what it is about, and if you think you have a client or product that makes sense and gives something to the community - repeating that, gives something to the community - then move forward with an SL plan and strategy.

Thanks for the great 4-post summary of what went on at the SL convention... now if only you'd been able to share what Catherine Smith and the others said!ReplyDelete
Your point about PR people not being at SLCC is right on. Just talking-the-talk and not walking-the-walk is a ticking time-bomb (how's that for a bunch of cliches?). I wanted to be there and was actually in town, but had to leave before the weekend. Darn!
Did anyone at the event report on Starwood's aloft project?ReplyDelete
Thanks, Jeremy.ReplyDelete
I will echo Andrea's comments.
To be able to see what was going on for someone that can't attend, I appreciate the series of posts.
As you related, it isn't all that surprising that, with so many touting SL and how it can be adopted for some PR tactics, only two attended the conference.
Why Text 100, in particular, didn't have anyone there is surprising.
Andrea's comment about the ticking time-bomb and Scoble's reference to the return of the bubble this weekend could be showing that there is more hype than substance in many of the speculations and predictions making the rounds. It is still rare to find any true implementations out there. And that goes beyond SL to blogs, podcasts and vlogs when you consider the number online vs. the potential adopters.
Maybe, even today, we are still early. Or, perhaps, there won't be the great buy-in so many are hoping for in PR.
Kevin, nope on Starwood's hotel in SL. I haven't really read much about it yet, but am interested to see what they are going to do, and how they try to re-do the hotel experience.ReplyDelete
Hello Jeremy. I'm afraid you're off the mark about Text 100's alleged lack of attendance at the SLCC. We had three staff members on site throughout the event, enjoying the experience, and learning along with everybody else. Perhaps you just didn't recognize us in 'real life' form!ReplyDelete
David, surprised that there wasn't a shout out or that one of us didn't bump into the kids. Next time, maybe.ReplyDelete
I got off my "meds" long enough to read your blog on Second Life. Compliments. Electric Sheep Company, a NYC based company, has been doing some interesting Second Life work, including a Second Life shopping mall.ReplyDelete

Don't skimp: CRM integration is integral
Integration can eat up more than half of your CRM budget. In this installment of CRM Steps to Success, users and experts offer advice on how to get the biggest bang for your buck.
Once you've forged a relationship with a CRM vendor and picked out your new software, you reach a sticky point in the implementation process: integration. After all, your new applications must work with the legacy systems that form the information backbone of your company.
"The biggest issue in CRM these days is integration," says Paul Greenberg, president of The 56 Group, a CRM consultancy in Manassas, Va. Part of the problem is that companies are forced to integrate from multiple standpoints, Greenberg says, combining mainframe legacy systems and/or client-server legacy systems with newer Web-based systems. They also have to cope with the variety of standards that exist for Web-based CRM -- everything from .NET to J2EE and XML.
Because every company is different -- in terms of focus and process -- and because no two legacy environments are alike, each integration project will be unique. There are, however, a few tips to keep in mind as you prepare to integrate.
Everyone will have to integrate
"If there's an enterprise-level strategy in place, then there is going to be integration," Greenberg says. The only alternative is throwing out everything, which is highly unlikely given the money companies have invested in legacy systems.
Integration is necessary whenever a newer system is fed data from these older systems -- in other words, almost all the time. It may come as a surprise to some, but even sales force automation requires integration because its success can be dependent on data from financials, inventory management, billing and procurement applications.
Of course, some systems will need more integration than others. Erin Kinikin, vice president and research leader at Cambridge, Mass.-based Giga Information Group, offers the contact center as an example of a system with multiple integration points, especially those centers that focus on answering questions about order and billing status. The bulk of the information required to provide those answers exists in legacy systems, Kinikin says.
The savings are huge, Kinikin adds, if you can resolve an inquiry without having to pull together information offline and then get back in touch with the customer. You'll probably also make your customers a lot happier.
Three things to look for in an integrator
A good systems integrator can help companies get the project focused and off on the right foot. A systems integrator can also bring knowledge of the CRM package and its capabilities that the internal IT team probably lacks.
When hiring a systems integrator, companies should keep three things in mind, Kinikin says: vertical industry expertise, flexible project management and results orientation.
"CRM is not a one-size-fits-all problem," Kinikin says. "Companies need to work with an integrator that understands the processes and integration points for a specific industry." She also stresses that integrators be willing to work on smaller projects in collaboration with internal IT staff rather than focusing on large-scale "big-bang" implementations. Integrators should also bring a measurement methodology that will enable the company to measure results as they go.
If you're going to keep any of your old systems that are enterprise-related in any way, then you do have to budget for integration, says Greenberg. Beyond that, however, it's hard to say how much to budget because every company's legacy environment is different.
A good rule of thumb, however, is that for every dollar you spend on CRM, you should plan to spend two to five dollars on consulting and implementation services, says Kinikin. Integration accounts for one-third to one-half of those fees.
Web services are not a magic bullet
Many view Web services -- those services and protocols that help Internet-enabled systems communicate and share data -- as a panacea to integration problems. But Kinikin says that it's really a "small part of the integration problem." She likens Web services to a "universal phone line" that makes it possible for two systems to communicate but doesn't give them the vocabulary to communicate in a meaningful way.
"The real nuts and bolts of integration is managing formats, managing these processes, not just connecting the systems together," Kinikin says. Ultimately, says Greenberg, Web services solve technical problems and will be a "great leap forward ... but nothing will be the final answer" because processes vary from company to company. Integration will always be a concern.
The CRM vendors realize this and are trying to make things easier. For example, SAP is issuing xApps, which the company says will snap on top of existing applications regardless of platform or vendor and open up data so users can pull it together on demand. Siebel's strategy involves its Universal Application Network (UAN), which creates standards-based, prebuilt business processes to link CRM software with back-office systems; UAN uses common object models and data transformation maps.
Kinikin says that UAN may keep businesses from thinking about dozens of customer processes that are going to cross with these systems because half of the processes may come from Siebel. If a Siebel-defined process doesn't fit your business, you can ignore it, she says.
A phased approach is a smart approach
Like everything else in CRM, the most successful integration projects take a phased approach, Kinikin says. For example, companies may want to begin by integrating new contact center software with one or two primary legacy systems rather than the half dozen applications that eventually need to be tied in. Eventually, organizations can build in integration to satisfy the most frequently performed actions.
"Somehow, when it comes to integration, people lose all that wisdom that they knew about CRM, and try to do everything at once," Kinikin says.

"Sache what are you doing with my sword?"
She moved promptly to grab it but the fellow handmaiden was far swifter and soon was clutching the blade close to her and grinning wickedly.
"Nevermind what I was doing, I want to know what you're up too! Come on now Sabe what's the real story behind this raggedy hair extension?"
She said twirling the ribbon as Sabe's cheeks lit up on fire.
"Oh and don't bother trying the line it's too long a story for me to find out or whatever such nonsense I'm sure you're going to try and come out with. Cause I have all day if necessary."
Sabe was suddenly thankful that Sache was alone. Dealing with her teasing was bad enough without having her other sisters around to worsen this already embarrassing moment.
"It's a good-luck charm alright? It calms me nothing more, nothing less."
Sache raised a brow as she stepped back to Sabe's attempt to grab the sheathed weapon once more.
"You're a terrible liar and you know it. Heaven's only know how you found yourself a position in intelligence. Now let's try this again.
An age old hair extension that should have been tossed years ago finds its way into the weavings of your blades charms and you expect me to believe it's just a lucky charm? Come now what sort of fool do you think I am? While the others may believe it's just blonde because it's been washed too many times but me…I know how these things are."
"Do you."
Sabe said in carefully neutral tones as she could though she was certain her glowing cheeks were a dead give away to her real thoughts. Sache instantly pick up on this and crowed in triumph.
"I knew it!! You do have a sweetheart!!!"
Sache grinned as she stepped closer but was still careful to leave the blade out of Sabe's reach.
"So who is it? Come on you can tell me!"
Sabe rolled her eyes deciding against attempting to wrestle the blade from Sache knowing how pointless that was certain to be. Folding her arms she also surmised she may as well admit the truth while she could lest her friend nag her until the end of time.
"It was a gift from a friend."
Sache raised a brow curiously before making a face.
"A braid of hair? What kind of gift is that? Talk about arrogant."
Instantly Sabe was on edge feeling the need to defend Obi-Wan's good name as she quickly retorted.
"It's not like that."
"Seriously, Sabe why a braid of hair?"
"It's more then just a braid of hair Sache. It's a Jedi Padawan's braid."
She blanched realizing her mistake instantly as Sache's expression carried the evident shock that now poured off of her in waves.
"…A Jedi gave this to you? But I thought they weren't permitted to have attachments?"
More agitation edged Sabe's thoughts but she bit her lip knowing that Sache wouldn't understand as she had not been witness
"They don't, and he doesn't. It was a gesture of respect and friendship nothing more."
"Nothing more indeed. Then why is it you almost had a heart attack when you thought Eirtae threw it out? Nevermind the fact you have it tied to your blade as though it held mystical properties."
Sache's eyes danced now in mischievous joy as she realized she had struck the right chord with the now crimson faced Sabe.
"So who is this elusive Jedi Padawan, who is nothing more then just a respecting friend?"
Sabe frowned as she closed her eyes trying to find her center. Sache as sweet as she was could be down right insufferable at times and this unfortunately was one of them.
"How many Jedi do you think I know Sache?"
The woman just shrugged her expression curious and obviously amused.
"I will tell you on the condition it remains between us only. I don't even want Lady Padme to know, it's bad enough your never going to give me rest I don't need having the Queen and gods knows who else reading into this all wrong."
Sache eyes turned eager as she nodded solemnly in reply.
"You have my word Sabe. You secret is safe with me."
Sabe then raised a brow knowing Sache was renowned for keeping her word and holding secrets but in this moment it just didn't seem quite enough and so she offered a smirk of her own.
"But there is another catch. Seeing as I am about to give you the name of an old friend, you have to tell me the name of the one who has caught your fancy as you admitted some months ago."
Now it was Sache's turn to blush as she gaped at Sabe in shock.
"That was a mistake. I've changed my mind since then. Besides it's not like your being fair! I don't even know your mysterious friend Sabe."
"I wouldn't say that Sache, but if you want to find out who it is you have to tell me who it is or was rather that had caught your eyes."
Sache frowned as the conflict was evident in her eyes marking to Sabe that in the end her friend would cave in for her curiosity always got the better of her in the end.
"Fine. You win. But you have to swear that you won't tell anyone either. Especially the person in question. It's bad enough to knowing I was so stupid to fancy them in the first place without them learning of it."
Sabe bowed her head in seriousness as she nodded.
"You have my word."
"Very well. So who is your Jedi friend?"
Sabe fell silent for a moment her thoughts instantly drifting back to the early days when she was just beginning her duties as a decoy where as the young knight to be was completing his last days as a Padawan. A smile crept onto her features as she recalled how she first met him through his rather grand entrance.
"Do you remember when we were being escorted out of the Theed Palace by the droids during the initial invasion how there were two Jedi who had literally jumped from the balcony above us and killed our captors?"
Sache nodded her eyes beginning to dance as she pieced the information together.
"Quite the grand entrance if I recall correctly. So it was the older Jedi's apprentice wasn't it?"
Sache concluded as Sabe nodded slightly in reply.
"Well Jedi Kenobi isn't a Padawan anymore obviously but yes, he was the one who gave me the braid upon his initiation into knighthood."
Sache grinned at the words, for though she had never even spoke to the Jedi in question she knew of him well enough to put a face to the name.
"He was pretty handsome if I recall correctly. Though apparently he left a far greater impression on you then you had us believe!"
Sache said with a teasing smile as Sabe sighed deeply.
"Good grief Sache would you shut up! I already told you he was a friend nothing more."
Sache only poked out her tongue in reply as Sabe made a face.
"Now it's your turn Sache."
Sabe stated with a wry smile as Sache blushed further.
"You really didn't think I'd forget so easily did you?"
She added as her friend squirmed.
"No but I was hoping you would."
Sabe only raised a brow as she motioned with her hand for Sache to hand over the blade to which the handmaiden does with a reluctant sigh.
"Fine…Fine. Remember you're not to breathe a word!"
Sabe nodded.
"Of course not, but you better not forget either got it?"
Sache sighed deeply as she nodded as well before taking a deep breathe as she quietly began to pick at the corner of the sleeve of her gown. An obvious sign to Sabe that her friend was nervous or embarrassed although her glowing cheeks served as a dead give away as well.
"For the record I don't like him that way anymore. He's just too insufferable to even remotely regard in that light anymore. But at the time I didn't know that so…well you know how it is."
Sabe waited in patience for her friend to continue and after a long moment she quietly confessed.
"…It was, keyword being was, Soren."
That shocked Sabe whose eyes widened now. That was the last person she'd ever expect her friend to admit to liking. Whenever they were together it was like a watching a ship crash, it was terrifying yet one couldn't stop staring. She had never seen two people row so much in her life and it was always over the silliest and pointless things. If she didn't know any better she'd almost swear they enjoyed fighting.
"You mean Captain Typho?"
Sache didn't respond her cheeks glowing even brighter if that was possible but at Sabe soft laughter she finally muttered.
"I say I used to. I don't like him like that anymore."
"So I noticed! I always thought you hated him."
"I do! I mean I don't hate him literally I just can't stand him that's all."
Sabe smirked but said nothing further as Rabe entered the room instantly marking the end of the discussion for both girls. If she noticed that both were blushing deeply Rabe was too polite to speak of it as she bowed to them her expression all business marking that the Queen was nearby.
"Sabe, Sache both of your presence is needed. The queen has requested you begin preparations for the coming meeting with the negotiations with the Separatists. As you already know you will be representing her for the first two of the meetings before completing your others tasks during the last two.
As for Sache because of Sabe's current duties Queen Amidala saw it fit for you to join the Captain in the preparations of security for the upcoming arrival of our 'guests'."
Sabe tried her best not to smirk but the grudging dread that crept onto Sache's features did a fine job of bury the nerves that always accompanied Sabe whenever she had to act as the Queen's decoy. It wasn't that she was afraid of her job and the risks involved but she was fearful of failing her highness and lately she found it was growing more and more difficult to hide the obvious fact that while they appeared quite similar in appearance Sabe had grown a lot taller since her initial days as Principle Handmaiden and decoy. It would only be a matter of time before she was discovered and the thought always filled her with fear for Padme's safety.
But ever the dutiful handmaiden she only bowed and thanked Rabe before quietly departing as Sache frowned deeply and muttered under her breathe as to why the gods had to curse her in such a way that she'd be forced to work with the most annoying man in the universe.

Today we celebrate our last birthday for the month!
It's been a whirlwind month with all the projects and birthdays, but it has been such a joy to celebrate the birth of each of these who were born in October!
It's Caleb's 13th birthday today!
It kind of sneaks up on you...you know.
One day they are a tiny little baby in your arms....
And in what seems like a blink of an eye you couldn't carry them anymore even if you tried :)
When I think of the qualities and character I appreciate in Caleb the thing that stands out most in my mind is his quiet spirit. He is really a pretty quiet guy all around, but there's just something about his spirit that is so gentle and quiet.
He is also an amazing big brother and his siblings love to hang around him. Especially his little baby brother Jaden.....as soon as Jaden sees him, his eyes light up and he lifts up his little arms! And Caleb will always pick ihim up! I can hardly wait to watch the love he will pour on his newest sibling due in March!
Caleb is also very creative, and when he isn't making something, he is dreaming up how to make something! He likes to work with his hands...especially with wood.
He drove the combine for the first time this year and as soon as I saw how well he did, I knew that I could relax. You see, I was his trainer! Sometimes training can be a little of a hair pulling experience. But not with Caleb, he got stuff right away and as the season went on he became a pro!
He really likes sports, and especially likes to play football or hockey with his family. He is often found begging his little brothers to play some kind of sport with him!
Caleb, I really can't tell you in words how proud I am of you. You are growing into a wonderful young man and I look forward to seeing how you grow in Jesus. Your life reflects Him in so many ways. We love you Caleb....Happy Birthday!

Summer School in the CAAPosted by Brian Goodman on September 8th, 2010
Alex Varone of College Basketball Daily is the RTC correspondent for the CAA and MAC.
Around the CAA
- In 2010, the Colonial Athletic Association represented itself well in March, sending a league-record six teams to the postseason. That group was led by league champion Old Dominion, who advanced to the NCAA Tournament's round of 32 after upending Notre Dame. Both second-place Northeastern and third-place William & Mary fell in the first round of the NIT in a pair of close road losses at Connecticut and North Carolina, respectively. Fifth-place VCU swept Saint Louis in a best-of-three final to win the third annual CBI tournament, while seventh-place Hofstra fell in the CBI's first round, and fourth-place George Mason lost its first game in the CIT.
- Two of the CAA's twelve teams will be under the direction of a new coach in 2010-11. Tom Pecora left Hofstra after nine seasons to lead the rebuilding effort at Fordham. Replacing Pecora is not Tim Welsh, like it was originally intended, but rather Mo Cassara, a first-time head coach who spent the last four seasons under Al Skinner at Boston College. UNC-Wilmington also made a coaching change, "reassigning" four-year head coach Benny Moss within the athletic department. The Seahawks' new head man is the well-traveled Buzz Peterson, who has already made stops at Appalachian State (twice), Tulsa, Tennessee, and Coastal Carolina.
- For the second consecutive year, a Virginia Commonwealth Ram was selected in the first round of the NBA Draft, this time being First Team All-CAA center Larry Sanders, who elected to forgo his senior season at VCU. Even with the loss of Sanders, the Colonial boasts a wealth of returning talent, especially at the guard spots. Two members of last year's First Team are back, led by 2010 CAA Player of the Year and senior Charles Jenkins. Northeastern's senior guard Chaisson Allen is also back, along with four seniors who made the 2010 Second Team: Delaware guard Jawan Carter, George Mason guard Cam Long, VCU guard Joey Rodriguez, and James Madison forward Denzel Bowles.
Power Rankings (last year's overall and conference standings in brackets)
- Old Dominion [27-9 (15-3)] – The Monarchs look to make it back-to-back Colonial Athletic Association championships this season. Leading scorer and First Team All-CAA forward Gerald Lee is gone, but four starters from last year's title team are back, led by 6'8 senior forward Frank Hassell (9.2 PPG, 6.7 RPG). Hassell anchors a frontline that will once again be Old Dominion's strength, a luxury in a league that doesn't feature much frontcourt depth. Teaming with Hassell are a pair of seniors: the versatile Ben Finney (8.8 PPG, 5.8 RPG) and Keyon Carter (7.4 PPG, 4.9 RPG). There are question marks about the guard play, but there are worse alternatives in this league than junior Kent Bazemore (8.4 PPG, 4.2 RPG), a defensive specialist, and senior Darius James (7.0 PPG). Head coach Blaine Taylor has done a great job in leading the Monarchs to seven straight winning seasons and six straight postseason appearances, and while a number of teams are capable of winning the Colonial this year, Old Dominion is once again the team to beat until someone knocks them off.
- VCU [27-9 (11-7)] – In year one of the post-Anthony Grant & Eric Maynor era, VCU won 27 games, second-most in school history, reached the postseason for the fourth consecutive year, and won the CBI tournament. Not bad for what was supposed to be a "transition year" at Virginia Commonwealth. This year, the Rams have to deal with the heavy loss of First Team All-CAA center Larry Sanders, who finished in the top five in the league in rebounding, blocked shots, and field goal percentage. The burden of some of that production will fall on the shoulders of 6'9 senior Jamie Skeen (8.1 PPG, 4.5 RPG), but expect the 2010-11 Rams to be a guard-oriented squad. Second Team All-CAA senior Joey Rodriguez is the top returning scorer (12.9 per game), but also led the CAA in assists (5.8 per game) and steals (1.9 per game). Seniors Brandon Rozzell (8.8 PPG), Ed Nixon (7.9 PPG), and wing Bradford Burgess (10.4 PPG, 5.1 RPG) should all see increased production this year. VCU was a bit unfortunate in close games last year, as all eight conference losses were by five points or fewer, including a four-point overtime loss to Old Dominion in the CAA Tournament semifinals. If a few of those close losses go the other way in Shaka Smart's second year, VCU could very well be headed back to the NCAA Tournament.
- George Mason [17-15 (12-6)] – In 2010, George Mason showed flashes of being a league contender; a seven-game win streak last January left the Patriots with a 15-7 (10-1) record, but they lost eight of their last ten games, and subsequently bowed out in the CAA quarterfinals. But all five starters are back this season, led by senior guard Cam Long (12.2 PPG, 3.9 RPG, 3.1 APG, 1.3 SPG), a 2010 Second-Team All-CAA performer and 2011 Player of the Year candidate. Long will be complemented by a trio of juniors in forward Ryan Pearson (11.9 PPG, 6.4 RPG), guard Andre Cornelius (9.4 PPG), and forward Mike Morrison (8.5 PPG, 5.9 RPG, 1.6 BPG). If forward Luke Hancock (7.7 PPG, 3.5 RPG) and guard Sherrod Wright (5.5 PPG) can both blossom as sophomores, this could be one of Jim Larranaga's most talented teams and the most talented team in the CAA. As is, George Mason will likely be more consistent in 2011, and with that, the Patriots should be considered one of the favorites.
- Hofstra [19-15 (10-8)] – What started with a fairly ordinary coaching change turned into a tumultuous start to the offseason at Hofstra. The Pride made what looked to be a good hire in former Iona and Providence head coach Tim Welsh to replace the Fordham-bound Tom Pecora, but one month into his tenure, Welsh was arrested for drunken driving and subsequently resigned, leaving former Boston College assistant Mo Cassara as Hofstra's third head coach in a little over a month. In his first season on the job, Cassara has the good fortune of having 2010 CAA Player of the Year Charles Jenkins (20.6 PPG, 4.5 RPG, 3.9 APG, 1.8 SPG) to build around. Last year, Jenkins led a team that won 10 of its last 13 games, only losing to Northeastern twice (the last being a 2OT CAA Tourney Quarterfinal), and to IUPUI in the CBI's first round. This year, the Pride should expect key contributions from senior wing Nathaniel Lester (8.0 PPG, 4.8 RPG) and senior forward Greg Washington (6.6 PPG, 6.2 RPG, 2.8 BPG), but make no mistake, this Hofstra team will go as far as Jenkins can take it.
- James Madison [13-20 (4-14)] – Last year, the Dukes were not your typical 11th-place CAA squad; injuries and inconsistent play doomed James Madison from the start. When healthy, third-year coach Matt Brady has one of the most talented rosters in the entire league. Senior forward and Texas A&M transfer Denzel Bowles was a Second Team All-CAA selection last year, and led the conference in scoring (20.8 points per game), rebounding (9.2 per game), and field goal percentage (59.4%). Joining Bowles to form the most explosive offensive duo in the CAA is sharpshooting junior forward Julius Wells (16.3 PPG, 5.1 RPG, 91 3PM). James Madison fans will be glad to see sophomore guard Devon Moore (10.7 PPG in 2009) back after missing all of last season with a knee injury. Overall, this is a young roster – Bowles is the only senior – that will score a lot of points, and could be a sleeper contender in 2011.
- William & Mary [22-11 (12-6)] – William & Mary came oh-so-close to its first ever NCAA Tournament appearance in 2010. The Tribe compiled a tremendous non-conference resume, with early-season wins over Richmond, at Wake Forest and at Maryland. A few tough conference losses knocked them out of at-large discussion, but William & Mary still made it all the way to the CAA Tournament Championship Game before falling to Old Dominion by seven. The Tribe had to settle for a trip to the NIT (only the second postseason appearance in school history) and Tony Shaver was named CAA Coach of the Year. With the loss of double-digit scorers David Schneider and Danny Sumner, W & M is likely to take a step back this year, but this is still a quality team that will be in the thick of the CAA race thanks to the contributions of junior swingman Quinn McDowell (13.9 PPG, 4.3 RPG) and the lone senior on the roster, forward Marcus Kitts (7.0 PPG, 6.3 RPG).
- Northeastern [20-13 (14-4)] – It wasn't an easy road to a 20-win season, second-place CAA finish, and NIT appearance for Northeastern. A poor non-conference start doomed any potential at-large chances and left the Huskies with a 2-7 overall record on Christmas morning. Northeastern then proceeded to roll off 15 wins in its next 16 games to get to 17-8 (12-2) and establish themselves as a league title contender. But Northeastern fell short of that goal, losing in the CAA Tournament Semifinals as part of a season-ending stretch of five losses in eight games. The core of last year's team – guards Matt Janning and Baptiste Bataille, with forwards Manny Adako and Nkem Ojougboh – is gone, leaving steady guard Chaisson Allen (13.6 PPG, 4.7 RPG, 3.6 APG) to carry the offense as a senior. Allen is a star, and is capable of winning some games by himself, but sophomore wing Alwayne Bigby (3.2 PPG) is the only other returning starter on a team that lacks any real depth, and as a result, is likely to fall back to the middle of the CAA pack in 2011.
- Delaware [7-24 (3-15)] – Things are looking up for 2010's last place finisher, and fifth-year coach Monte Ross might just need to lead the Blue Hens to a big season in order to save his job. The top seven scorers from last season are back, led by seniors Jawan Carter (18.2 PPG, 3.3 RPG, 4.9 APG) and Alphonso Dawson (12.1 PPG, 6.0 RPG). Delaware will also get a boost from senior guard Brian Johnson, who missed all of last season, but was a consistent 10-point, 5-assist performer in 2009. Those three seniors form a solid veteran core, and there is also a nice mix of youth in sophomore forwards Kelvin McNeil (6.0 PPG, 6.2 RPG) and Jamelle Hagins (5.4 PPG, 5.3 RPG), both of whom are potential breakout players in 2011. Delaware won't be in the CAA cellar this year, but to expect this group to go from last place to a title contender might be too much to ask for.
- Towson [10-21 (6-12)] – A 59-point loss at VCU on January 27th left the Towson Tigers with a 4-16 (1-9) record, a host of questions about their talent and heart, and all the makings of a lost season. You can't ignore over 20 losses, but following the embarrassing performance at VCU, the Tigers ended the season on a high note by getting to six CAA wins in the regular season and won their first round game in the CAA Tournament for the fourth consecutive year. Even with last year's top two scorers gone, Towson has some quality pieces in place, led by senior Robert Nwankwo, a nightly double-double threat (9.9 PPG, 8.9 RPG) who also led the league in blocks (3.1 per game). Junior guard RaShawn Polk (9.2 PPG) is a blossoming scorer, and fellow junior Troy Franklin (8.3 PPG, 3.7 APG) is one of the Colonial's best point guards. 6'7 forward Isaiah Philmore (6.4 PPG) is a talented sophomore and a player to watch this season. Coming off back-to-back 20-loss seasons, this team isn't really a true contender, but there is enough upside here for Towson to potentially challenge for its first winning season under seventh-year head coach Pat Kennedy.
- Drexel [16-16 (11-7)] – Over the past three seasons, Drexel has recorded only one winning season and notably hasn't reached the level of play that very nearly landed the Dragons in the 2007 NCAA Tournament. The pressure on tenth-year head coach Bruiser Flint is rising, especially after an offseason robbery incident involving guard Jamie Harris and forward Kevin Phillip, which landed both of them off the team. Even with the loss of Harris, the Dragons will have to rely on their backcourt to win games this season. Senior Gerald Colds (9.3 PPG) is a steady scorer, and sophomore Derrick Thomas (6.4 PPG) should see his minutes and production increase out of necessity. But fellow sophomore and 2010 CAA Rookie of the Year Chris Fouch (11.3 PPG) is a star in the making and will likely need to be the go-to option this season. Unfortunately for Drexel, there just aren't a lot of capable big men on this team, with the exception of junior Samme Givens (8.3 PPG, 8.3 RPG). Flint has some quality players, but this team lacks depth, and with the cloud of the offseason controversy hanging over this team, it's hard to envision Drexel getting back to its winning ways in 2011.
- UNC Wilmington [9-22 (5-13)] – New head coach Buzz Peterson's latest rebuilding effort takes him to the CAA and Wilmington, NC, to try and revive a program that has suffered back-to-back 20-loss seasons and has seen its fan base grow increasingly disillusioned. Peterson has a history of producing quick results and then moving on to the next best opportunity, but Seahawk fans shouldn't expect to see a dramatic turnaround in Peterson's first year. Wilmington returns three starters, including senior guard Chad Tomko (12.8 PPG, 4.3 APG), a serviceable lead scoring option, but nonetheless is a player who has had his character questioned in an up-and-down relationship with the Seahawk fanbase. Senior guard Ahmad Grant (8.1 PPG) is also back, but a decent backcourt won't overshadow the glaring holes in the middle. Sophomore Keith Rendleman (5.9 PPG, 6.1 RPG) is the best post presence, but there are too many pieces missing from this team to expect much in the way of improvement in 2011.
- Georgia State [12-20 (5-13)] – In all three years of coach Rod Barnes's tenure, Georgia State has recorded a 20-loss season. With their top five scorers from last year gone, look for the Panthers to extend that streak to four. The lone returning starter is senior guard Marques Johnson, who only averaged 2.6 points and 2.3 assists per game. Junior guard Jahad Ali (5.4 PPG) is the highest returning scorer, and will likely have to be the offensive centerpiece this season. The rest of the roster, especially the forwards and centers, are junior college transfers and other relative unknowns. Georgia State was already the worst scoring offense in the Colonial last year at a little over 62 points per game; a number that almost certainly will not improve in 2011. Unless there is a hidden gem or two on this roster, Georgia State – and Barnes – are in for a long season.
What's Next
- A number of CAA squads will get a chance to face off against the nation's top teams and potentially pick up some quality non-conference wins in various tip-off tournaments around the nation. James Madison is participating in the CBE Classic, where it has a brutal regional round game at Kansas State on November 12th. Hofstra will take on the re-tooled North Carolina Tar Heels in the Puerto Rico Tip-Off on November 18th. VCU could potentially face Wake Forest in Winston-Salem in the early rounds of the NIT Tip-Off. George Mason is in the Charleston (S.C.) Classic, which will field the likes of Georgetown, NC State, and Charlotte. Lastly, Old Dominion will head to the Virgin Islands to take on St. Peter's in the Paradise Jam, an event that also includes Xavier, Alabama, Seton Hall, and Clemson.
- The question that should be on the minds of every CAA basketball fan is: can the Colonial be a multi-bid league? It was in 2006 (UNC Wilmington, George Mason) and 2007 (VCU, Old Dominion); in fact, it was nearly a three-bid league in both years as Hofstra (2006) and Drexel (2007) narrowly missed the NCAA Tournament field. But in each of the last three years, the CAA has landed only a single bid to the dance, and Old Dominion's first round win last year was the conference's first NCAA Tournament victory since VCU upset Duke in 2007. With the overall amount of talent returning, this could be the year the CAA sees multiple bids and even multiple wins in the NCAA Tournament.

Tne person was killed and many others injured in the fiasco of the councillorship primaries of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in six local government areas in Ebonyi State on Tuesday.
A member of the House of Assembly reportedly escaped being attacked. Cars, houses and other valuables were torched in one local government.
The violence led to the cancellation of the results in Afikpo South and some wards in Onicha and Ohaukwu local governments.
Police spokesman Sylvester Igbo said a 38-year-old man, Kalu Ogbu Awu, was killed. Another party faithful, Ibom Agwu Kama, was injured.
Igbo said initial reports showed that the violence in Afikpo South was due to a clash between supporters of two councillorship aspirants.
The spokesman gave the name of the suspects as Nnachi K.C. and Onyemachi Dick.
The police, according to Igbo, also foiled an attempt by a faction to burn down the house of Collinius Orji, the Development Centre Coordinator of Edda East Development Centre.
But the member representing Afikpo South West Constituency, Eni Uduma Chima, disagreed with the police report. He accused the police of trying to protect the real killers.
His words: "The police are conniving with the people, who have been terrorising our people to cover the truth behind the killing.
"One of the suspects, Nnachi KC, was with me when the incident happened in another ward; he never left his ward."
In Ezza North Local Government Area, Igbo said a truck, which belonged to Sunday Ogbuagu, a Supervisory Councillor, and a house were set ablaze by a faction said to be unhappy with the outcome of the primaries.
In Ohaozara Local Government Area, it was gathered that the PDP Chairman in the local government, Okechukwu Mark, was accosted by thugs on his way to submit the result for Amichi Ward. He was allegedly beaten up and the result snatched from him.
The result was, however, recovered from the thugs after the Council Chairman, Enekwachi Akpa, ordered security operatives to recover it.
But Akpa denied any knowledge of violence in the area, saying: "I don't know of any violence. We had a successful election."
At the council headquarters in Onicha Local Government Area, a councillor was beaten up and arrested by the police for allegedly bringing a dagger into the hall where electoral materials were being distributed.
In Izzi Local Government Area, a Sports Utility Van (SUV) belonging to the chairman of the council was vandalised. The driver, Godwin Obasi, was hospitalised with machete cuts all over his body.
A statement by the PDP state Chairman, Ugorji Ama-Oti, said the results of the primaries held in Obegu ward in Onicha Local Government Area, Effium wards 2 and 3 in Ohaukwu Local Government Area have been cancelled.

The mayoral race is finally heating up, not because of TV ads, but because robocalls are burning up the phone lines -- of those Denver residents who still have land lines, at least. I heard a recent message from James Mejia too late for "Denver-made" breakfast at his headquarters, but I could still join him in an "invigorating run" along the Platte tomorrow morning.
Don't wait for me.
Still, I have to admire Mejia's choice of bars where he's meeting with voters this week -- the Rackhouse Pub and Crimson & Gold. And then there's the truly intriguing option that his campaign is offering: Residents can host Mejia on a sleepover at their own homes, an as Off Limits item notes this week.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
On the Mejia at Home page of his campaign site, the candidate has been blogging about these visits. Here's his entry from March 10:
When my host, former State Representative, Fran Coleman and her husband, Ben, told me that they were giving up their room and their bed for me, I pleaded with them not to. However, when they told me that when Mayor Webb was spending his days on the road, he stayed with them in the same room and the same bed, I took them up on their offer. They also mentioned that he left his socks at their house. I was careful not to leave any socks behind...
He might want to stay away from the phone, too.

25-04-2013 – Yerevan, Armenia
Members of European Parliament's EU-Armenia Friendship Group, headed by President Eleni Theocharous met with the Prime Minister of Armenia, Tigran Sargsyan. Mr Sargsyan welcomed the delegation and expressed the hope that the future activities of the Friendship Group will contribute to the further development, cooperation and an expansion of bilateral ties between Armenia and the EU.
The parties discussed the economic development in Armenia, Armenia-Turkey relations, issues related to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, Armenia's future energy strategy and the situation of Syrian Armenian immigration to Armenia.
On the issue of Armenia-Turkey relations the Prime Minister Sargsyan highlighted Armenia's interest to establish diplomatic relations with Turkey, emphasizing the fact that the policy of the country towards Turkey has changed over the last 20 years. He went on to state that although Armenia is keen, however the overlying tensions within the region still pose an obstacle to achieving this goal.
On the issue of Nagorno Karabakh, the Prime Minister affirmed that Armenia will stay dedicated to working within the framework of OSCE Minsk Group and is willing to make consistent efforts to achieve a peaceful settlement.
When discussing energy, the Prime Minister elaborated on Armenia's desires to continue using nuclear power as an energy source, but underlined the desire for the country to eventually decommission its current Metsamor power plant and construct a newer more modern nuclear facility.
Regarding the immigration of Syrian-Armenians' to Armenia, the Prime Minister enforced that the country is doing its very best to ensure the well being of the new Syrian Armenian population, and is doing everything it can to integrate them into society. The members of the Friendship Group stressed the importance of the support shown to the Syrian immigrants in Armenia by international institutions and the governments of their countries and expressed willingness to contribute to that process.

text: An epic multiplayer Tetris! Get to the top of the leaderboard by placing blocks. It's possible to place blocks that leave gaps that no other block can fill. Doing so is seen as making a mistake and will reset your score to zero. Any cells placed by you will be taken over by the server. Once a line of cells completely crosses the grid horizontally, the cells will be destroyed and points will be distributed to the owning players. The player who cleared the line will also gain bonus points. It's possible to clear lines while leaving gaps that no other block can fill. Rather than causing a mistake, these gaps will be filled by the server. You can forcefully drop your block by pressing the SPACEBAR. This is called stomping. Once you have initiated a stomp, you no longer have control over your block. However, landing a stomp will double the number of points received for placing a block. If you land on another player's falling block, they will be forced to stomp, and your block will stop dropping. Mobile: swipe up. Sometimes gaps are unreachable, but they would fit your block if you could get to them. You can phase shift by holding the down arrow once your block has landed above your intended destination. Mobile: long tap once landed. You can steal a group of other players' cells by wrapping them in your own. Each cell owned by you contributes to your score, so it doesn't seem like a bad idea to steal other players' cells when you can, right? Use the ARROWS to move the blocks.
