Painters and Decorators Services in Killiney
Are you considering giving your house or business a new look? Do you have to repaint after a tenant has vacated your property? Do you have to fix water stains on ceilings and walls or over walls in which mold was eliminated? It may be tempting to do the job yourself, which may lead to cost savings. However, there are many reasons you should consider hiring a professional painter and decorator service.
Prices of Equipment
Hiring a professional painter and decorator usually means that the painter comes with of the tools that they will need to perform the work properly, will clean those tools up when they are completed and will take them away to be saved elsewhere.
Protection of Your Premises and Avoiding a Mess
A professional painter and decorator will have the ideal equipment and be knowledgeable and knowledgeable about how to shield furniture, floors, cabinets, walkways and other things which you don't need painted from any harm. If your work involves staining, an expert will have the correct equipment and expertise to use the stain properly to attain the perfect finish and once achieved, shield that finish.
A professional painter will even thoroughly clean up the work area when the job is completed.
Planning is Essential
An expert painter and painter will know that preparation is the key to a good looking, long lasting paint job. Areas with water or mold staining may require additional therapy and diluting until they are ready for a last paint job. It is a good deal of work and if it is not done properly with proper instruments and methods, it will not lead to an excellent finish.
Skills and Patience
Painting takes patience to generate a beautiful excellent finish and in addition, it takes skill that is developed with practice and expertise. A professional will learn how to finish all their preparation and painting tasks required to reach the best outcome.
A professional painter will also know the substances that are required to do the job right. Which primer will provide the right coverage? Latex or oil? Which primer base is required? What paint foundation? Should the wall be prepared with drywall compound or plaster? Spray or roller?
A professional painter will be able to recommend materials which are best to achieve the look you need, while preventing any damage to your surfaces. With this advice, you can attain a greater quality finish that will endure.
For exterior jobs, a professional will know the ideal weather, temperature and sun conditions to finish the job with the best outcomes. Stains respond differently in direct sunlight than when it is overcast, and at different temperatures. While rain obviously impacts the job, humidity and heat can also impact the quality of outside paint finishes.
Climbing on ladders while trying to apply paint correctly is a skilled job which requires careful focus and attention to prevent serious injury and harm. The higher the site which needs painting, the greater the risk for an crash. For inside jobs with high areas or exterior jobs, an expert painter will have all the tools and expertise required to perform the job correctly and safely, including the right dimensions and design of ladder and scaffolding.
Your time is precious and painting yourself requires a significant amount of time. Using a professional painter and decorator deal with the job for you can save you days and times of effort, and can usually be achieved in a much shorter time period.
A study from Trinity College Dublin indicates the average Irish man requires 28 hours daily to accomplish all of his or her tasks. Avoid adding a paint job into this and talk to a professional painter about your needs.

In the current scenario of rising population and deceasing open land, skyscrapers are the wise options of effective utilization of the available space. The sky rising skyscrapers are based on the concept of vertical utilization of space. But, segregating and identifying the best ones among the numerous high rise buildings and skyscrapers that are commonly found in any highly futuristic urban city is really a difficult task. Here are the five best skyscrapers of 2011 from all over the world:
Eco Skyscraper
This is a skyscraper that is supposed to be erected at Noida, a highly industrial area in India. It is the brainchild of the architect, Vikas Pawar. The composite eco architecture features two separate towers that are spiral in shape and face the sky. They are joined with each other by means of sky bridges. Hence, the accessibility from one building to the other is always easy. The purpose of this building will be to harness the solar energy and wind energy throughout the day to divert it for replacing the electricity consumption of this building as well as the surrounding community.
Gigantic wind turbines will be constructed on the walkways at upper levels in the connected areas to convert the stored wind energy into wind power. Further interesting thing about this skyscraper is that it will feature rooftop farming. Thus, the people in the residential area will be able to consume organic yield which is devoid of the harmful effects of chemicals fertilizers and pesticides.
Brooklyn to get its mixed-use aggregation skyscraper
Although this skyscraper is in the architectural model stage still now, but it will surely be one of the most effective eco friendly skyscraper that can be identified as one of the best ones ever. It will be constructed at urban city of Williamsburg in Brooklyn. It will be based on the concept of creation of a number of interconnected buildings that together form a composite structure. A single building will therefore serve multiple purposes.
The next stunning fundamental on which the yet to be built skyscraper will be built is "Urban Heat Island Effect". This means that the increasing amount of heat of the urban area will also be attempted to lower down and subsequently cut off the electricity consumption on the area by bringing about reduction in the use of air conditioners. This mixed use building will feature live, work and play in natural ambiance in one structure only! The building will apparently look like a conglomeration of thorny cacti aiming the horizon.
Artificial Island Skyscraper
Aleksander Krasinki has designed a drifting habitation for the future generation. He has probably designed this structure keeping in mind the effects of global warming, which will lead to the melting of icebergs, glaciers and the Polar ice cap and increase in the percentage of water on earth to an alarming extent. This futuristic habitat will be an artificial island that will be durable enough to sustain human habitation. The projection is that it will be capable enough to support 52,096 people throughout its 48 floors that will extend to a vertical height of 1000 meters above the ground level.
Together with offices, residential areas, public areas and gardens, it will also comprise of enough place for landing and taking off of helicopters, private airport, seaports etc. Thus, it will almost become a nation in its own! With the airport with height of 100 meters, and the residential areas with height of around 6 meters, this skyscraper will be most suitable one for counties like Japan, Netherlands and United States.
Vincent Callebaut's Zero Carbon Biotic-Arch
Taichung in Taiwan is in constant threat of pollution due to the increasing carbon percentage in the air. The factor to be held culprit behind this is the toxic emissions from its own fossils fuel as well as the billowing tailpipes that connect it with China. Thus, engineer, Vincent Callebaut thought seriously on it and came up with his idea, Biotic Arch. This green structure, he believes, will be the most green skyscraper idea so far that will definitely fight out the carbon footprints of the area effectively as well as add up to the scenic beauty of the area.
This magnificent skyscraper will comprise of numerous gardens with different types of vegetation. This towering structure will be capable enough to harness the various forms of energies from the nature and replace the use of electricity. It will look like a giant bush of greenery from the distance. A praiseworthy concept of vertical gardening and composite residential and work block, this integrated structure will certainty be the home of many in Taiwan in the coming years.
Tour Végétale de Nantes by Edouard François
A vision of the French architect, Edouard Francois, this high rising skyscraper is proposed to be a part of the skyline of Praiie – au- Duc, in Nantes in the coming days. Set in the heart of a crowded and traffic filled city, this towering structure will not only support the growing population but also purify the air of the surrounding area by means of its natural greenery. In a height of 60 meters from ground level, it will comprise of shops, parking spaces, residential areas and most importantly, offices in black rubber cube. The elliptical balconies that will cling all over the building will contain organic vegetation. The plants chosen for the building will be drought resistant and adapted to grow in rocky contour so that water consumption by them is minimal. They will grow in stainless steel channels so that the weight bearing capacity of the building is also wisely maintained.

Our buildings consume more energy than industry or transportation, and we haven't done a great job of reducing that consumption. We can do better by:
monitoring energy use
improving building commissioning
applying insights from building science
selecting innovative HVAC and building envelope technology
using natural ventilation and daylighting to provide low-cost alternatives to standard systems
As great as all these ideas are, they won't be nearly as effective if we don't engage occupants about energy use as well. Our articles look at all these strategies and more.

Aladdin Masters of the Universe lunchbox
The Aladdin Masters of the Universe lunchbox is a vintage collectible lunchbox based on the range of action figures produced by Mattel during the 1980s.
'Masters of the Universe' was initially a line of toys created by Mattel in 1982, featuring characters such as He-Man, Skeletor, Teela and Beast-Man. The success of the range led to a popular children's cartoon which ran from 1983 until 1985, a line of spin-off figures based on the character of She-Ra, Princess of Power, a series of comic books and a live action feature film in 1987.
Despite being phased out due to a lack of popularity in the late 1980s, the characters were re-launched by Mattel in 2002 with a new series of figures, a new animated series and a new line of comics published by Dark Horse.
During the first release of the toys in 1983 the company also licensed a range of tie-in merchandise including a lunchbox produced until 1984 by Aladdin Industries.
The Aladdin Masters of the Universe lunchbox
The box has a blue border and handle, with illustrated graphics on the front, back and sides. The front of the box shows an image of He-Man battling Skeletor and Beast-Man, with Castle Greyskull in the background.
The back of the box shows He-Man fighting Skeletor alongside Teela and Stratos, and the side panels both show the fight between He-man and Skeletor (joimned in one panel by Man-At-Arms). The top of the box shows He-Man stood in front of Castle Greyskull, whilst the bottom panel shows him riding Battle Cat along with Man-At-Arms and Zodac.
The matching round thermos flask is white with a blue top, and features an image of He-Man, Skeletor and Castle Greyskull.
How much is an Aladdin Masters of the Universe lunchbox worth?
Mint-condition boxes can sell for up to $100, with top-condition used boxes appearing on auction sites such as eBay for $75 - $85.
Boxes with little wear and tear can sell for $25 - $50 depending on their condition, but the large number of boxes produced means that they are particularly common and only valuable to collectors in a mint or near-mint state.

Of weddings, wars and wowsers – have your say in Saturday's socialist speak out
Posted by John, April 30th, 2011 - under Saturday's socialist speak out.

Comments: 7
As a class we can empower ourselves and in doing so would no longer have to endure structures of feudalism and celebrations of war, bigotry and the mysticism of religion. As Trotsky put it 'Life is beautiful. Let the future generations cleanse it of all evil, oppression, and violence, and enjoy it to the full.'

The players have the power to stop profits flowing to the AFL.
All they need is the will to do that and win whatever they want from the bosses.
Without labour there are no profits.
It is a lesson all Australian workers could learn.

Labor: seeking refuge in reaction

Comments: 17
Labor is consolidating around a reactionary agenda and destroying itself politically as a consequence.
This is a government without political purpose, without vision, without morals, without principles other than ruling for the rich, but with a strategy to out-Tory the Tories.
With this sort of Labor trajectory the Conservatives could be in power soon.
Our task is to resist reaction of whichever hue and to argue for a fightback in our unions and in the social movements.

Two people in front of me reeled back, clutching their eyes. The cops had used capsicum spray on them. One was a photographer. Maybe taking photos is a threat to democracy too like tying ribbons on a fence.
Five people helped the other protester as he staggered about, blinded and in pain for the crime of attending a demonstration.

But Marxism 2011 was a joy for another reason – the young revolutionaries. Here is a group of socialists eager to learn and keen to participate in struggles. Hope springs eternal in an old man's breast when he sees the new generation of comrades. And when the working class begins to move.
The myth of ANZAC day

The first Anzac Day was an attempt to divert anger away from the capitalist class to those who were "disloyal". It was also an important part of the pro-conscription propaganda.
Rebuilding unions?

Instead of wine discounts and cheap movie tickets, maybe unions could offer what workers really want – an organisation in which empowered members take action to win real wage increases, better conditions and defend jobs.

We can't predict what the spark will be in Australia for the resistance to the neoliberal agenda, but the events in the US, Europe and the Arab world give us great confidence it will happen.

Like most kids his age, Nic Volker loves playing with his cars and asking, "Why?"
But he's far from your typical 6-year-old. He's a medical mystery, spending more than 700 days in the hospital with a gut disease doctors couldn't diagnose.
"What the surgeon would tell me is that, 'We're just keeping him alive,'" recalled Nic's mom, Amylynne Santiago Volker.
Nic's journey began shortly before his second birthday. Doctors thought he might have Crohn's disease. He wasn't eating and dropped down to 17 pounds.
"He couldn't walk anymore and he was always in pain," said Amylynne Santiago Volker.
It got worse and a temporary colostomy provided little relief. Nic developed a blood infection, called sepsis, and was given three days to live. At one point, he had so many ulcers in his stomach, holes began to appear all over his abdomen and stool began spilling out.
"I didn't want him to die. He was so sick and he wasn't healing and I wanted to, you know, I wanted someone to find the answers for him," said Amylynne Santiago Volker.
Believing his genes could hold the key, doctors at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin/Medical College of Wisconsin decided to do something that had never been done before -- sequence Nic's genome and base his future treatments on their findings.
"Nic was the first case in the world that I think anyone is aware of where genome-wide or exome-wide sequencing was used to make a diagnosis," said Dr. David Dimmock, MD, assistant professor of pediatric genetics at Medical College of Wisconsin.
After looking at 20,000 genes, doctors pinpointed the mutation responsible for Nic's illness: XIAP deficiency. Dr. David Margolis, professor of pediatrics at Medical College of Wisconsin, described it as Nic's immune system missing a protein.
The diagnosis meant doctors could treat Nic with a bone marrow transplant using umbilical cord blood -- essentially giving him a new immune system. Now, Nic's back to playing and, more importantly, eating.

Spring Lip Color InspirationApril 10, 2014
It's finally Spring! Yes, it's been Spring for a couple of weeks now, but it definitely hasn't felt like Spring where I live un...
From Left to Right:
Revlon Balm Stain in Darling, Revlon Matte Balm in Unapologetic, Revlon Matte Balm in Showy, Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in Fuschia Fever, Maybelline Vivid Lipstick in Shocking Coral, MAC Creme Cup, MAC Vegas Volt, Too Faced La Creme Juicy Melons.
As you can tell, Showy and Fuschia Fever are nearly identical as well as Unapologetic and Shocking Coral, with a slight variation in tones. I wanted to give a few options, in case you already have one of the shades. I also linked the reviews and more swatches for each shade above.
Now, onto the lip glosses.
From Left to Right Buxom lipgloss in Leslie, Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Lilac Pastelle, MAC Lip Glass in Nymphette, Nyx Butter Gloss in Creme Brulee, Nyx Butter Gloss in Merengue, Nyx Butter Gloss in Apple Struedel.
You'll notice again how much the Buxom Lip Gloss and MAC Nymphette are similar.
As someone who isn't a huge lipgloss fan, I tend to stick with lipsticks, but I wanted to give both options, as well as some high end and drugstore options. I know that Orange and Purple shades are on trend for Spring, but I'm not a huge fan of either to be honest. Orange shades have a tendency to make your teeth look yellow and purple just takes a lot of confidence to pull off. I'm much happier with a pink or coral, anytime.
There will be more of these posts coming up, as well as a Spring Fashion inspiration post. I love doing these, so they'll be up very soon.
Thanks for reading & make sure to check the links for full reviews and swatches of the products!

The life experience you get from traveling is extremely valuable, and not just from a personal/spiritual development standpoint either.
A well traveled man is typically viewed as being cultured, and more attractive to girls. Girls want a guy who's EXPERIENCED, and traveling, as I just mentioned, gives you major points in that department.
In this article, I'll go over a couple different travel strategies..
Travel Strategy 1: The Turn and Burn
The first way to travel on your self development journey is to grab a wingman, book a flight.. and hit up a nearby party destination.
Depending on where you are in the world, this could be Vegas, Miami, Bangkok, Amsterdam, Cabo etc.
The goal here is basically to put yourself in environments where there are lots of women. It's ideal if the women are also on a vacation and in "party mode".
There's an epic clip from "Entourage" where Johnny Drama rips into "Turtle" for bragging about the girls he hooked up in Mexico..
If you don't know what I'm talking about, just click the play button for a soundbite..
Keep in mind though, that putting yourself in environments where there are a lot of women doesn't guarantee that you're gonna hook up.
Your "game" still has to be tight.
You need to how to initiate a conversation, escalate things physically in a way that doesn't make you seem "creepy", and ultimately.. make them feel comfortable around you.
Once you establish comfort and a rapport, you can work on seducing them…
If you don't understand how to do this, then you should subscribe to the FREE course we offer here at Mack Methods.
It will walk you through these stages, and teach you all sorts of tricks you can use to get the girls you want. Sign up below..
If you're game isn't tight, then you'll just be wasting money flights and a hotel room that only your friend will see when it pops in to have a beer before you head out to the club..
There's a lot of competition on these this party spots, so that's another reason why your game needs to be as tight as possible to compete with the other guys.
Drinks tend to be overpriced in these party spots so be aware that there will be lots of girls who will just try to use you for free drinks. Don't fall into that trap. Buying drinks for girls in clubs is sucker-shit anyway.
To maintain your health and sanity, make sure you incorporate some positivity into your trip as well. Things like lifting, reading, meditation etc..
Whatever it is that you regularity do for self improvement back home, continue to do those things even while you're on one of these mini-vacations.
The benefits of taking these getaways? There are a few…
In a place like New York, there's a scene for everyone and the selection of girls is seemingly unlimited. Tall girls, short girls, skinny girls, fat girls, Asian girls, Latin girls – take your pick!
If however, you live in the American Midwest, this is the time to test your game on someone besides your basic blond cheerleader type.
You can do stuff you could never, or don't have the balls to do back home. You can make a total ass out of yourself and it won't matter because no one knows you.
So, go ahead, approach the hottest girl in the club even if she throws a drink in your face it doesn't matter and, it makes a good story to tell your buddies back home.
Travel and shared experiences bring people closer. You'll become closer with your friend/wingman, and the dynamic you're able to bring to future "winging" endeavours will be a lot more effective.
In other words, you'll work as a team more effectively and you'll both get a lot more girls because of it.
Of course, this only applies when you actually MAKE MOVES and approach as many women as you can. You can technically do this anywhere, but being in popular tourist destination (or any major city) makes it a bit easier not to care so much about fucking up your approach.
If you do, you can just move onto the next girl. There's no shortage and if you say something stupid, you'll never see the girl again anyway – which brings me to my next point..
Travel Strategy 2: The Path to Enlightenment
The second way to travel is go on long term, solo adventures. The key here is to put yourself out of your comfort zone.
Integrate into you new environments. Live with the locals and experience new languages and cultures.
It's important to have a main purpose during these extended stays as well. For example, take up a martial art, get involved with outdoor sports, volunteer and contribute to a cause you feel strongly about.
You need a passion is what I'm trying to say.
While this is true for everyone, regardless of where you are, it's particularly important when you're so far from home and away from your friends and family.
It's important from a self-development standpoint as well, which is the purpose of these trips.
Long term (solo) travel will help you develop all-around as a human being, but to relate it to improving your game and enhancing your "sexual marketplace value", here are a few specific benefits..
Women love a good story and if you spend a chunk of your life traveling to distant lands, you'll have some decent ones to tell. Very few things are more captivating than a good storyteller.
You can blow her away on your first date with that story about the time you climbed a mountain to reach a temple in Tibet. This kind of shit is what they call "chick crack"
7Become A Leader
Traveling alone forces you to make decisions. Nobody else is there to guide you. You gain a real sense of independence when you're at the other end of the world by yourself.
Why is this so beneficial? Because girls are naturally attracted to quick decision makers and leaders. If she sees that you're a leader of OTHER MEN, that's a huge plus as well – and you can work examples of that into the stores you tell to drive that point home.
6Thinking On Your Feet
When you're in a place where you don't speak the language and you don't know your way around, you have to have to think on your feet.
You have to make decisions that are dictated by your environment and as I mentioned above, girls like a man who is decisive. It's a strong leadership quality.
5Put Yourself First (In A Good Way)
Most Western men are people pleasers.
We want to please our parents..
We want to please our girlfriends..
We don't want to "step on any toes" so to speak, because we prefer to avoid conflict.
Fuck that, if you want to make it traveling abroad, you have to learn how to make decisions based on what's best for YOU.
This trip is all about yourself.
Of course, this doesn't mean that you should be an asshole. It just means that have to stand up for yourself and "stick to your guns".
For example, when people find out that you're about to set off on an adventure of a lifetime, some of them may try to talk you out of it and hold you back. Ignore them..
They're probably suggesting you stay based on their own selfish reasons. They want you around for their own benefit or they're unhappy with their lives and seeing the people around them do great things amplifies that unhappiness.
Extended solo trips teach you to put yourself first (in a lot of situations). Have you noticed that the "bad boys" tend to get the hottest chicks? Well, one of the characteristics that women find irresistible about those "bad boy" types is that they tend to be self-absorbed. Not saying it's a good thing, but it's the reality.
Making connections is important, not only for meeting women but for getting ahead in life in general.
The bigger your social circle is, the more social proof you have. Social proof is massively important when it comes to getting approval from others and convincing them of your self-worth.
Social proof also ties into pre-selection, and pre-selection is the absolute number 1 attraction trigger you can display to a woman.
Don't know what pre-selection is? Click on the image and watch the video to the very end..
The narrator epically explains pre-selection as it relates to a goldfish…
Oh, and in case you were wondering, that course is legit. I'd suggest getting it if you wanted to invest in yourself..
3A New Beginning
You won't have any of the negativity, or distractions you had at home. I have had friends who have been able to make amazing changes like getting sober after years of alcoholism because of travel.
I myself have kicked some bad habits and build some positive ones. A "reset" can work wonders!
When you're traveling by yourself, your perspective will inevitably change.
Things that seemed like the end of the world before, will seem insignificant.
Stressed about approaching a girl? You'll probably find it easier after you've almost died rock climbing in Puerto Rico.
Upset that you can't afford a new Tesla type S? You won't give a fuck after you've seen the poverty in countries like Cambodia and the Philippines.
More importantly though, when you see the smiles on the faces of the poor people in those countries, you'll come to realize that all that materialistic shit doesn't matter at all.
You'll probably even look down on girls that spend 1000 dollars on designer purses. I know I do!
As a side effect of that, you'll have higher standards for the girls you date, and you'll seek a deeper connections with higher quality people.
1You'll Become More Outgoing
The number 1 benefit to prolonged vacations (by yourself) is that it will force you to become more outgoing. You'll have to come out of your "shell" and talk to people.
You'll meet friends from all over the world, and once you get used to striking up conversations with random people, the benefits of that carry over into several different aspects of your life – one of which happens to be your love life.

October 01, 2013 | By IMS Digital Media
The addition of the Grand Prix of Indianapolis brings a new form of road course qualifying to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway with the Verizon IndyCar Series. Get up to speed on just how road course qualifying will work at the May event:
PRACTICE: All cars participate in practice sessions on the first day of track activity. At the end of the day, drivers will be assigned to one of two groups based on the combined practice times on the day prior to qualifications. The driver with the fastest overall time will determine whether his group will qualify first or second.
QUALIFYING: Qualifying is broken down into three segments, progressively narrowing the field to determine the pole winner.
SEGMENT ONE: Each of the two groups receives 10 minutes of track time, inclusive of full-course yellow conditions. The fastest six cars from each group advance to Segment Two, while the remaining cars are assigned positions 13+. Group One drivers occupy the odd-numbered positions (13, 15, 17...) while Group Two drivers occupy the even-numbered positions (14, 16, 18...) based on their fastest lap times during the segment.
SEGMENT TWO: The 12 advancing cars receive 10 minutes of track time. The fastest six advance to the Firestone Fast Six while the remaining six cars are ranked in positions 7-12 based on their fastest laps during the segment
FIRESTONE FAST SIX: The six advancing cars receive 10 minutes of track time, with a guarantee of five minutes of green flag time. Each car receives one additional set of Firestone Firehawk tires for use during this final segment. At the end of the session, the cars are ranked 1-6 based on their fastest laps during the segment.
CAUTIONS: If a car causes a red or full course yellow condition in any segment or otherwise interferes with qualications as determined by the Race Director, the car's best two timed laps of the segment will be disallowed. An interfering car will not be allowed to advance to the next segment. If a car causes two red or full course yellow conditions in any segment, all segment times shall be voided and the car shall not be permitted to participate in the remainder of qualifying.
FIRESTONE FAST SIX FAST FACTS: 2005-2012 (The format has been used at 52 races)
31 – Different drivers who have participated in Firestone Fast Six sessions 107 – Times a driver has have improved their starting position (34.3 percent)
38 – Scott Dixon leads all drivers by participating in 38 of 52 Firestone Fast Six sessions. Dario Franchitti is second with 36.
30 – Times a driver has improved to the pole position during the Firestone Fast Six session
2.17 – Average starting position of the driver who entered the Firestone Fast Six session with the fastest lap from the previous segment.
2.38 – Average pre-session qualifying position of the driver who won the pole during the Firestone Fast Six session.
5 – Most spots improved; Helio Castroneves went from sixth to first at Mid-Ohio in 2007, Ryan Briscoe went from sixth to first at Edmonton in 2008 , Will Power went from sixth to first at Long Beach in 2009, Dario Franchitti went from sixth to first at Toronto in 2012 and Ryan Hunter-Reay went from sixth to first at Edmonton.
1 – Race where no positions changed (Infineon 2005).
In 2012, no driver participated in all 10 Firestone Fast Six sessions. In 2012, the driver who was fastest in Segment Two went on to capture the pole in four of the 10 Firestone Fast Six sessions.

Final Fantasy XIII will come out in North America on March 9, 2010 for both the PS3 and Xbox 360. So says the official e-mail we just received. You can't see it, but there's a smile on my face right now.
There's only one thing in the announcement that I didn't know before.
• The game's theme song, "My Hands," will be sung by Leona Lewis. She sang the song "Bleeding Love." Not that I've heard of her, but that's not my scene, so whatever.
There's also three new screenshots, featuring Lightning, Snow and Vanille.
Four months to go~!

Newcastle look to get back to winning ways when Swansea come to St James' Park tomorrow for what will be our first home Saturday 3pm kick-off of the season to date.
After a disappointing result compounded by an even more disappointing performance against West Ham last weekend, the pressure is mounting on Alan Pardew and Co to start getting results. It's been a quiet start to the season in which we've pulled up few trees, both in terms of results and performance, but there would perhaps be fewer alarm bells ringing if performances had at least been present even if results had still been hard to come by. The fact is though that they haven't and that needs to change sooner rather than later.
Yohan Cabaye has been ruled out through injury as has Jonas Gutierrez. James Perch will once again be missing as will Fabricio Coloccini who serves the second of his three game suspension following his red card at Anfield a couple of weeks ago. Ryan Taylor, Dan Gosling, Haris Vuckic, and Adam Campbell are also all currently missing through various injuries.
Returning to the fold we have Cheik Tiote who has now finished his three game suspension. He'll play a part tomorrow no doubt before sitting out the Europa League game next Thursday through….. You've guessed it, suspension!
Sammy Ameobi has trained since withdrawing from England U21 duty whilst Tim Krul, Davide Santon, Shane Ferguson and Shola Ameobi have returned from international duty with Holland, Italy, Northern Ireland and Nigeria respectively injury free.
There are question marks over the availability of Papiss Cisse, with Senegal looking to invoke a FIFA rule meaning that he wouldn't be available for the game tomorrow after United pulled him out of international duty courtesy of a back complaint. Their point of view is that if he is fit to play for Newcastle then he is fit to report for Senegal. No similar issue has been raised over the withdrawal of Demba Ba however.
Ki Sung-Yeung is out with a hamstring problem while former Newcastle target Neil Taylor is a long-term absentee for the Swans. Chico Flores and Danny Graham may return after a dead leg and back problems respectively but there will be no place for Leroy Lita who is lacking in fitness after being recalled from a a loan spell at Birmingham City.
The last time Swansea visited St James' Park both sides played out a 0-0 stalemate, which to be fair to Swansea isn't a bad result considering their record against us. You have to go back to October 1980 to find the last time Swansea recorded a win at St James' Park – a 2-1 victory in the old Second Division.
Overall there have been 36 games between the two sides. Newcastle have won 22 of them compared to just the nine victories for Swansea. We've scored 70 goals against them with the Welsh outfit finding the back of our net just 39 times over the years.
Team selection:
It more of a case of who we have available rather than who we can play to be fair. Once again we are down to bare bones which will again take us back to the summer and the wisdom (or lack of?) of not being busier in the transfer market.
Tim Krul will play in goal with Davide Santon at left-back. Steven Taylor and Mike Williamson will once again be paired in the heart of defence, with the former playing captain for the day, while right-back is likely to be filled by Danny Simpson.
Moving up the pitch I'd expect to see Hatem Ben Arfa on the right with Cheik Tiote making a return next to Vurnon Anita in central midfield. Shane Ferguson will probably get the nod on the left in the absence of Jonas Gutierrez.
In attack it will be Demba Ba and Shola Ameobi, or maybe Papiss Cisse if he ends up being available.
That is in a 4-4-2 formation which I think is safe to assume we'll be using…
Stats and facts…
Swansea have won just one game in the last nine league outings whilst Newcastle have won just one from the last six league games.
Neither side have lost after taking the lead in a match this season.
Swansea have exactly the same amount of points as they did at the same stage last season. Newcastle are 11 points worse of in comparison.
Final thought:
I feel like I'm saying this every week now, but as each week goes by it becomes more important. We need a win to try and get our season going, whether it be a scrappy 1-0 via an 89th minute own goal, or a deserved win based on performance. I'm past caring, I just want three points on the board!
Howay the lads!

Oh Annie, what a wonderful diversity of stories! Naughty, chilling, touching, atmospheric, filmish.
And Rainesz, your characterisation is so well written. I very much enjoyed reading the interactions.
Thank you ladies for your clever work!
Thank you, Lurena!
I also have at least the start of a story based on your drawing for the other ficlet challenge. As I was telling Annie and Travisina earlier, I have a conversation started but (so far) no plot! It may end up plotless.

Post it please?
Conversations are so B7, I bet you come up with a good one to enjoy.
And don't forget, we are all mad sad and most probably able to create one or another plot to it in our own fantasy.

This is for Anniew...and once again, many thanks to Lurena for her lovely piccie
May Each Day .
No! Avon was quite adamant.
But shes eaten all the Roses, the Crème Eggs and the last of Callys Rolos, Tarrant cried in despair, Surely just one bag of Revels wouldnt go amiss?
That question remained unanswered as Vila rounded the corridor corner, Weve had a Mayday. Someones in trouble.
Avon strode off in the direction of the Flight Deck.
Yes, seethed Tarrant, he most certainly will be.
You didnt mention my Curly Wurlys, Vila groaned as Tarrant, too, swiftly exited and went towards the Flight Deck.
If we answer every Mayday call, we will never get to Earth, Avon declared.
There it is again; Mayday; Mayday. Come at once, Cally said, repeating every word that came over speaker.
Come on, Tarrant urged, We need to get down there as soon as possible
Vila eyed Orac with distinct suspicion.
Youre keeping rather quiet about this. Why?
There appears to have been some confusion about the term Mayday.
In what way?
Well, Mayday; a request for assistance and May Day; an old calendar celebration celebrating the end of winter and a new year for the growing of crops.
Vilas eyes opened in horror, So, what is it. Mayday or May Day ?
Avon was facing someone who claimed to be the Village Elder. So there isnt a Mayday as such?
No, we are here to celebrate May Day. Im so glad that you joined us though; we have more than enough to go round. Look.
Avon stared at the large pole set up on the village green and the packing cases piled up around it.
What the
A ship crash landed here a few weeks ago. It took us that long to dig out the cargo
Excuse me, Tarrant began, But why are those men dancing round with poles and hitting each other?
They are Morris Dancers, the Elder explained, Once theyve finished and Maypole dancing is complete then we will open up the boxes to see what bounty there is.
Tarrant could see Avons eyes glaring at the packing boxes.
I dont think theyre Revels, he murmured.
But Avon wasnt listening.
Revels, asked the Elder, I hope not. Cant stand the coffee ones.
I love coffee, declared Dayna, her eyes widening as Avon pushed through the throng towards the cases.
He stopped, briefly, and then fired.
The cases and their contents seemingly erupted, sending debris all over the gathered crowd and Avon.
Cally rushed over, expecting the worse.
Avon .
Get these off me; whatever they are.
Ohh, said Dayna, picking up one of the offending items. Its chocolate; a chocolate seashell!
Tarrant picked up a rather shattered box, Guylian Chocolate Sea Shells, he murmured, Well, thats different.
Ive heard of these, the Village Elder said, coming alongside, These chocolates have replaced Revels as the Federations favourite sweets.
Oh no, Tarrant whispered.
Avon got to his feet, angrily brushing the offending chocolate seashells from his clothes, Well see about that!
......and all because the lady wanted Avon covered in Guylian chocolate seashells!!!
Cold.....you don't know the meaning of cold.
Cold is when you have ice on the INSIDE of the window!!!

Having dithered and dothered with my fic for ages, I almost gave up when I saw littlesue's latest, as it's on a similar theme. But hers is light, amusing and covered in chocolate, and mine ... isn't, so here it is anyway:
May Day
Bright light outlined vaguely human shapes, then resolved into the figures of two men and a woman. Leighton stared blank-eyed at the strangers, the roaring pain in his head making it hard to focus. Hallucination? He blinked hard, but when he opened his eyes, they were still there, looking around at what remained of his communications room.
The smaller man gave a nervous grin. "Here we are. Let the festivities begin!" Then he frowned. "Doesn't look very festive, I must say."
"Shush, Vila," the woman admonished. "Can't you see he's injured?" She crouched beside Leighton and touched his arm. "What happened?" she asked aloud. When he didn't reply, he sensed her voice inside his head: Can you hear me? Are you able to speak?
He fixed his eyes on her face. "May Day."
Vila paused in his examination of a shelving unit. "Nothing to drink here," he muttered. Turning back to Leighton, he said, "Yes, we got your May Day message that's why we came. It looked like you were having a good time, we needed a bit of a holiday and thought it would be fun to join your celebrations."
The big man had been looking out of the shattered window. "Those aren't celebrations. It's not fireworks and bonfires, they're distress flares and funeral pyres." He raised his wrist and spoke quietly into a bracelet.
Communication device? Not seen one like that before, thought Leighton, professional interest piquing him in spite of the pain. "Who are you?"
"We can help you," the woman said. "We have a ship."
He shook his head. His sight was fading; her face would be the last thing he saw. A painful cough brought more blood into his mouth. He managed to say: "Too late... thank you for responding to my May Day..."
It was a sombre group that teleported back to the Liberator.
"Even if we'd brought him back with us, there was probably nothing we could have done," Cally told the others. "He was too badly injured."
"I still don't understand why he kept saying May Day," said Vila. "The planet was an old Earth colony, and if that wasn't an invitation to join an old Earth celebration, what did he mean?"
"I should have known," sighed Jenna. "It was Mayday, not May Day. A distress call used in olden times, based on a word in an old Earth language. M'aidez. It means 'Help me."

@Littlesue and Lurena: There needs to be more chocolate-covered Avon.
"Vilas eyes opened in horror, 'So, what is it. Mayday or May Day ?' " Both!
@Travisina, that was excellent (and heartbreaking). With Vila being oh so typical Vila, of course. You always write the poor "guest" characters so well who witness the crew's various arrivals.
I love how you and Sue both cleverly used the other, more serious meaning of May Day. I had forgotten all about that aspect of it!

Avon entered the flight deck to take the night watch. It was his favorite, as no one was around to bother him. Near the end of her watch, Cally sat at her station, absently twirling a ring between her fingers.
Avon asked, Is that what I think it is?
Cally looked up as if startled from her musings. Yes, it is the sarcophagus alien's ring.
Noting Avon's pensive look, Tarrant offered, She found it under her console where you had tossed it away, Avon.
Cally sighed. I was just thinking of the possibilities. It seems such a waste, not the ring, the alien. If only we could have turned her to our cause, she would have been a valuable ally. She was a far stronger telepath than I.
Tarrant nodded. Indeed she was an enhanced version of you, Cally, with stronger mystical powers, but she had a fragile flaw, being dependent on the energy transfer enhanced by the egg artifact and that ring.
Avon smirked. Not only that, but she had the breath of a corpse. Hardly a companionable ship mate.
A sly grin spread across Villa's face. Well then, it's probably a good thing she's gone, the last thing we need is a...
Avon barked. Vila!
Vila donned his beaten puppy expression. Oh, please, let me say it.
Avon shrugged. Very well, if you must.
Vila beamed. The last thing we need is a... ahem... Super Cally Fragile Mystic Hexed By Halitosis.

Story planning conference:
Og: So what do you have for this month, TT?
TT: A cracking story, Og, take a look at this!
Og: Let me have a read oh no me say you cant do that!
TT: But its brilliant Og!
Og: Youve already had one slap on the wrist about doing a story about her
TT: But the whole way she gets hoist on her own petard, as those affected by her policy of
Og: No, TT!
TT: Oh blast! How about THIS one then?
Og: Hmmm . Me not like it! Me not like him!
TT: But hes the guitarist of one of the greatest-ever rock groups!
Og: Me not like anyone who has more hair than me! Next
TT: I dont have anything else. Unless you count this one
Og: Right then oh yes me like it TT crack on you have three hours until the deadline.
The two opponents faced each other. The bearded German gentleman, and the shaggy, hairy biped-creature.
They were fighting a duel to the death over the woman they both loved.
Heads or tails?, asked the bearded gentleman, not realising that hed been duped. Og had borrowed Vilas special coin. Og called and the coin landed on one of its two heads.
That meant Og had choice of weapons.
Whats it to be?, asked the man.
Me choose horns!, exclaimed Og.
Yes. Me use the ones attached to me head, while you Og stepped to one side, to reveal a French horn.
The man smiled to himself. Hes made a huge tactical mistake, he thought. Og doesnt realise the noise that I produce from any musical instrument can cause massive pain to his ears!
Both retreated the required ten paces, with the man taking the French Horn with him.
He waited until Og had started his charge, and put the horn to his lips. He blew.
No sound came out. Nothing. With sudden horror, the man suddenly realised that it required special technique to make a sound. It was all about pitch.
He glanced up, just as Ogs horns hit him in the chest. The man went down.
Og howled. Oh no! Me sad! Me killed Hugbot. Everyone likes him, and now they will hate me! Quick TT, its your story, do something.
But what Og?
Well, we havent had the obligatory Blackadder reference yet!
Og, thats a fantastic idea
At that moment, Hugbot sat up.
He smiled at Og. Fortunately, that cigarillo-box you gave me was placed exactly at the point where your horn struck.
Hugbot and Og embraced. Well, you won the duel, Hugbot ruefully admitted. You win the fair hand of Dayna Mellanby.
It was a waste of time. Shes gone off with Pinder!
Her taste in men is appalling!
Youre telling me, shrugged Og. What do we do now?
We only have 20 words left of the permitted 500, so how about the pub?
And the two of them departed, arm-in-arm.

Very good, Brad. I don't know whether to groan or applaud!
I enjoyed yours too, TT. Especially Og being jealous of Brian May's hair!

Sorry for not commenting on this thread, but I am again lacking behind big time. However, when I tried to catch up with this thread, I spotted the word 'hugbot', and I just had to read TT's story first. That was really great! Fascinating to see how you managed to turn our little rewatch banter into a funny story!

I take this as a compliment. Thank you!
And now I have to start reading the rest of the May stories ...

Cheers Hugbot - I'm glad you liked it! I had the idea the day we were doing the rewatch, but only just got the story in on time.
I also get way behind in reading people's stories. I do normally read them, but after the thread for that month has been closed.

Yes! It's got a built-in cigarette lighter (stand well back!) and special arms for clipping the ends from cigars.
In fact - and not many people know this - it's not really called a hugbot. Its proper technical name is the humidor-bot.
