QUI-GON and OBI-WAN stand opposite QUEEN AMIDALA and her HANDMAIDENS. Between them, a holographic projector shows the city of Theed with troops readouts and locations. The PADAWANS circle the holotable along with CAPTAIN PANAKA and some ANTARIAN RANGERS
AMIDALA : …then Our forces will join us for the final push on the Throne Room. LYRIN MARTEL glances over the image a final time and shakes his head
LYRIN : The loss of life will be great if you follow this plan. Your forces take a direct route through the opposition.
AMIDALA : This is the quickest route through the enemies forces, Our advisors on the ground inform Us that will leave the smallest window for the battle droids of the Federation to reinforce the Viceroy's position.
LYRIN : That may be, but if all of your troops are lost en route, then the Federation will have no need of reinforcements. By taking this route LYRIN adjusts the holodisplay to show a longer, more roundabout route to the Throneroom you avoid most Droid patrols, leaving them out of position to stall your strike.
AMIDALA : looking to her handmaidens, PADME shakes her head negative We value the input of the Jedi, but we must trust our troops on the ground in their assessment. They are more familiar with the battleground. AESA looks to QUI-GON JINN to see if he will support their position, but he appears distracted by events far away
KENDRICK : Your highness, we understand there is a familiarity, I assume then there are some secret passages that will allow us to avoid the droid patrols along this route? Again the QUEEN looks to her handmaidens and again PADME will shake her head negatively, AESA watches intently
AMIDALA : There are no passages, no. However We must trust our guard. For Us to show lack of confidence in their assessment, We risk demoralizing them when they need Our support the most. They say this is the best route, and so this is the route We shall take. At seeing the exchange, AESA looks to the other JEDI PADAWANS to see if they have seen the same, the JEDI share a nod
LYRIN : This is madness, perhaps we should speak directly to Padme, since she is charge here. A shock ripples through the HANDMAIDENS, shared by the QUEEN. AESA's shoulders sag at the heavy handed negotiation, but PADME nods and steps forward, a calming hand on the shoulder of the QUEEN
PADME : This is DORME, my doppleganger, and loyal bodyguard. I am Padme Amidala Organa, Queen of Alderaan. at this, OBI-WAN blushes as it sinks in, and, seeing his reaction, PADME blushes as well. AESA observes the reaction and a look of trouble crosses her brow
AESA : Your highness, we are merely concerned for the loyal men and women who fight for you. The plan you put forth is exactly what a trained commander would expect from his opponents. This is precisely the plan that the Viceroy will be prepared against, please listen to us, your highness, there is a safer way. I know that your experience may be that my Order is rash … as the words leave her mouth, she notices a shared exchange between PADME and OBI-WAN and realizes her blunder
PADME : stiffening My decision is not one made lightly, nor is it one that will be changed. Thank you, Master Jedi, for your suggestions, but this is in the end my operation, and its outcome will be mine to live with. seeing no room to argue, AESA nods, but carries a look of worry, glancing from the distracted QUI-GON, to the conflicted OBI-WAN, and finally to her fellow PADAWANS, who share her troubled brow. CUT TO
The ship enters the hanger.
The PADAWANS, QUI-GON, and OBI-WAN exit the ship and eliminate the few droid guards. They are followed by the RANGERS and CAPTAIN PANAKA. Finally, PADME and the HANDMAIDENS.
QUI-GON : to PADME Stay close to us, in the fighting, allow the Padawans to form a defensive circle. Do not stray. Should we encounter the assassin, my Padawan and I will engage him and buy you all time to get to the Viceroy. In this instance, listen to the Padawans – they are skilled and will guide you.
PADME : Yes, Master Jedi. Thank you for your help in freeing my people. As they move forward during the conversation, the large doors on the opposite of the Hangar open to reveal DARTH MAUL. He is clad in a heavy cloak, and stands calmly with his hands behind his back. From underneath the deep hood, angry red eyes glare. QUI-GON looks to the PADAWANS, who nod back and escort the others towards a side entrance. MAUL's eyes follow, but are pulled back to QUI-GON and OBI-WAN as they ignite their lightsabers. A sinister smile grows on MAUL's face as he slowly takes back the hood, then removes his robe and holds his Lightsaber in front of him. A single crimson blade emerges, then, a moment later, a second, revealing it to be a double bladed Lightsaber! Battle is engaged as QUI-GON and OBI-WAN leap forward. CUT TO
PADME and the PADAWANS make their way down a passage towards the main square as the sound of clashing lightsabers recedes into the distance. They seem to calm the further away they get. Rounding a corner, they come across 10 Battle Droids and 2 Droidekas! Immediately, the droids begin opening fire, as the Droidekas turn on their energy shields
ABRAXIS : blocking shots and covering PADME Destroyers! Those energy shields are vehicle grade, we won't be getting through them very easily.
LYRIN : smiling and accessing a small wrist datapad All those droids are controlled from a central mainframe, they don't have independent processors. I won't be able to take total control, but I might be able to disrupt some of their systems. I can't get the shield down long, but I can get it for a few seconds.
CASTIS : That's all I will need. As LYRIN finishes his coding, the bubble around one of the DROIDEKAS flickers for a moment. CASTIS leaps with incredible speed and with a spinning slash of her brilliant green blade, strikes the shield unit on the base of the DROIDEKA, a shower of sparks flying everywhere Shield is down!
KENDRICK : That's my cue! igniting his own Lightsaber, two emerald beams erupt from either end, much like MAUL's. He leaps forward, striking low and spinning his blade along the insectoid legs of the DROIDEKA, sending it to the ground in a shower of pieces and parts as AESA moves to intercept fire from the second DROIDEKA aimed at LYRIN. The RANGERS and HANDMAIDENS exchange fire with the BATTLE DROIDS as the PADAWAN move to eliminate the second DROIDEKA, with AESA guarding LYRIN and ABRAXIS guarding PADME. The team quickly dispatches the remaining droids, and they move out into the courtyard.
The camera switches back and forth between the battles with QUI-GON and OBI-WAN against DARTH MAUL, and the PADAWANs and PADME against a seemingly never-ending tide of DROIDEKAS and BATTLE DROIDS. As QUI-GON and OBI-WAN force DARTH MAUL back through the underground depths of THEED CITY, the others fight through the above ground streets of the city until they enter the PALACE. The closer they get, the greater the toll on them, as RANGERs, HANDMAIDENs, and ALDERAANIAN GUARDs all fall to the withering hail of fire from the BATTLE DROIDS. Even the PADAWANS looks weary by the time they reach the THRONE ROOM. Throughout this, TOR DAHN can be seen administering healing to the wounded, using his powers through the FORCE.
PADME : as a final BATTLE DROID falls This is it, the Throne Room. The Viceroy should be inside, but he will be well guarded. The RANGERS and ALDERAAN GUARD nod in readiness, the PADAWANS look to each other and share an unspoken battle plan. As PADME opens the door, the team engages the BATTLE DROIDS and DROIDEKAS as one, each knowing their preferred targets, with LYRIN disabling shields long enough for the other PADAWAN to destroy the units, leaving all the droids vulnerable to the lethal blades of energy. Soon, the battle is over, and the Viceroy stands alone, PADME pointing a blaster to him This invasion is over, Alderaan will have its liberty, Viceroy.
NUTE : Please! Don't shoot! You must understand … at this, the doors on the far side of the Throne room burst open and OBI-WAN and QUI-GON enter, still battling DARTH MAUL. As the PADAWAN turn to assist the other two JEDI, the Viceroy sees an opportunity and moves to shoot PADME while she is distracted. From the other side of DARTH MAUL, OBI-WAN clearly sees past the PADAWAN and others to what the Viceroy intends and is forced to make a decision, stay and fight MAUL or save PADME. With an incredible FORCE LEAP, he flips through the air and lands within striking distance of the blaster held in the Viceroy's hands, sundering it and saving PADME. He turns to see …
MAUL, seeing an opportunity strikes furiously to the now defenseless side of QUI-GON, forcing QUI-GON to overextend to protect where OBI-WAN once was and leaving an opening for the other blade of DARTH MAUL's double Lightsaber to impale him. As the PADAWANs and OBI-WAN watch, QUI-GON drops his Lightsaber and falls to his knees as DARTH MAUL frees his Lightsaber and turns towards the young JEDI, smiling with a sickening self-satisfaction.
The PADAWAN look to each other, and then to OBI-WAN, but it's clear he is lost in the moment. With a worried look, they nod to each other and as a group steel themselves and move to confront the Sith. With a furious rage, OBI-WAN leaps and strikes first, and while MAUL appears ready for attack, he moves to defend himself, but it is the weapon that killed his master that OBI-WAN vents his anger on, and MAUL is unprepared. With a shower of sparks, DARTH MAUL's saber is cut in half, with part of it sliding away while MAUL adjusts his grip on the remaining one. No sooner has OBI-WAN finished his swing than CASTIS is making hers, keeping MAUL on the defensive and causing him to miss a counterstrike on OBI-WAN. With each attack, MAUL sets up for a counter, but is forced to abandon it as another PADAWAN strikes from a new angle. KENDRICK pauses and focuses, his Lightsaber changing to a softer hum as he imbues it with a concussive Force. Twirling the blade above his head, he strikes MAUL, catching his blade and then hitting him with the pommel, the force released on contact and staggering MAUL back. Shaking his head, he throws his hands out to the arrayed PADAWANs, knocking them back as he sprints back out the doors he arrived through at a frightening pace. ABRAXIS begins to follow, but as he makes his way down the hallway, he sees MAUL is outpacing him and were he to catch up, he would be facing the Sith alone. Turning, CUT TO

Who Is A.J. Jenkins?
An elusive singer-songwriter who is winning the hearts and minds of millions of children (and parents).
I was out to dinner the other night with a friend who is new to parenting (six months in), who asked me (the parenting editor) if I was a fan of A.J. Jenkins. Embarrassingly, I couldn't say because I had never heard of him.
Have you? If not, it's time to discover his work, especially if you have an infant or toddler. (Discovering who he is as a person is another story; I'll discuss at the end.)
With lyrics that are at once simple and clever, tuneful music, and a voice of experience like an indie folk-rocker, A.J. Jenkin's work has won over millions of families for its enjoyment and education value. One parent fan described him as "the Jack Johnson of children's music." Another appreciates how he is "never cloying or cutesy."
For really young kids, I think his work might have the appeal of a great Eric Carle book, like Brown Bear, Brown Bear. For older young kids, his songs probably stir up a sense of learning together and having fun. I've noted in the comments on Youtube how his appeal spans the young ages—and includes families with children with special needs.
But of course there's no better way to appreciate him than by sharing the work with your babies and toddlers and seeing what happens.
Start with the videos, which you can access on Youtube under his name or KidsTV123. Or you can simply visit the website kidsTV123.com (where you can by songs and videos).
You can also buy his two collections, Kids Songs ABC and Kids Songs 2, at amazon.com.
And who is A.J. Jenkins? I think he's British, but there's nary a trace of him on the web, so I think we can assume, at the least, that he wants to keep the focus on the music.
Fine with me.

My nephew turned 3 last week, and I made him this chalkboard. I bought a plain piece of wood at Michael's so it would have nice finished edges. I painted the front with chalkboard paint, and then modge podged the stickers in place. I covered all the painted surfaces (not the chalkboard) with a coat of polyeurethane... at first the stickers were peeling up, but once it was 100% dry, it was just fine.

Stockholm: Swiss master Roger Federer beat Germany`s Florian Mayer 6-4 6-3 to win the Stockholm Open on Sunday and equal Pete Sampras`s haul of 64 ATP titles.
"It`s fantastic to come here, face the pressure and be able to come through at the end," the world number two told Swedish TV.
"It was a really difficult final and you can see I`m still breathing hard. I thought Mayer played a terrific final so I`m very happy."
Mayer, without a title to his name, had a mountain to climb but came out strongly, attacking at every opportunity and displaying a fine touch around the net.
He broke serve in the first set, only for Federer to break back immediately.
The Swiss then held his own serve to love before breaking again to take the set.
Mayer wrong-footed Federer with some classy shots but a service break in the sixth game of the second set put the 16-times grand slam winner in the driving seat.
"It`s been a tough week. I came from Shanghai where I played five matches, then the jet lag and the whole thing, so to back it up with another win is great," said Federer after picking up the trophy from Crown Princess Victoria.

|Added to NRHP
|December 4, 1973
The George W. Furbeck House is a house located in the Chicago suburb of Oak Park, Illinois, United States. The house was designed by famous American architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1897 and constructed for Chicago electrical contractor George W. Furbeck and his new bride Sue Allin Harrington. The home's interior is much as it appeared when the house was completed but the exterior has seen some alteration. The house is an important example of Frank Lloyd Wright's transitional period of the late 1890s which culminated with the birth of the first fully mature early modern Prairie style house. The Furbeck House was listed as a contributing property to a U.S. federal Registered Historic District in 1973 and declared a local Oak Park Landmark in 2002.
George Furbeck's father, Warren, purchased the future site of the George W. Furbeck House in 1892. Furbeck was working as an electrical contractor in Chicago at the time and maintained a residence with his parents. On April 9, 1897 the Oak Park Reporter announced that George Furbeck would be erecting a Frank Lloyd Wright designed home on the site his father had purchased five years earlier. The site of the Furbeck home provided George Furbeck with easy access to the Oak Park Avenue train station and thus, to his office in Chicago. On June 29, 1897, two weeks after ground was broken on his new home, Furbeck married Sue Allin Harrington of Michigan. The next day Warren Furbeck's deed for the site of the George Furbeck House was transferred to his son. The George Furbeck House was completed in late 1897 or early 1898[3]
The home's interior has seen very little alteration and is mostly intact as Wright originally envisioned it. The exterior underwent significant alteration in 1920 when the enclosed brick front porch was built on the retaining wall that surrounded the original, smaller, open porch. The third floor dormer was also extended as well.[4]
The house was designed at the beginning of Wright's three-year period of experimentation that resulted in the fully mature Prairie house in the early 20th century with such projects as the Arthur Heurtley House and the Frank Thomas House, both in Oak Park.[4] It combines elements from the traditional Queen Anne style and from Wright's own Prairie style, as such the home represents a transition by Wright toward early modern style.
The home's windows are wood with wooden frames and mostly casement style, most of the first floor windows are topped with plain gray limestone lintels. Some of the casement windows feature original art glass with simple geometric designs.[5] The art glass, which is one of Wright's earliest completely original designs of the type, features three vertical lines with simple colored borders.[6] When compared with the art glass on the Isidore Heller House, designed the same year, the Furbeck glass is uninteresting and may represent the start of Wright's glass border art work.[6] Beneath the first and second floor windows a continuous stone sill course wraps around the house.[5]
The front (east) elevation is framed by two octagonal towers and the entire structure is clad in a pink-colored brick. The building's hip roof features overhanging eaves, an element common to Prairie style architecture.[5] The entire structure rests upon a stepped, limestone water table. The main feature of the front facade, besides the octagonal towers, is the 20 ft (6.10 m) X 20 ft, one-story sun porch projecting from the building. The sun porch has a low-pitched hip roof with an eave that projects over the front door, which is centered on the porch and flanked by two pairs of casement windows. Above the sun porch, on the second floor, is a pair of art glass doors which open onto a balcony between the two octagonal towers.[5]
The George Furbeck House is listed as a contributing property to the Frank Lloyd Wright-Prairie School of Architecture Historic District.[7] The historic district was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on December 4, 1973.[2] On November 18, 2002 the Furbeck House was declared a local Oak Park Landmark by the Oak Park Village Board.[8]
As part of Wright's transitional decade of the 1890s the Furbeck House is significant as the beginning of a three-year period of experimentation by the architect which resulted in the first fully modern style residential buildings. The George Furbeck House connects Wright's early period, which included geometric Queen Anne houses such as the Robert P. Parker House, with his fully mature Prairie style which resulted in early modern homes such as the Heurtley House. Prominent features reminiscent of Wright's early work includes the octagon towers; a shape he was exploring throughout his transitional decade. The home's rectilinear massing, hip roof, casement windows and horizontal sill course all featured extensively in later Prairie style homes by Wright.[9]

When you're moving or going through a life change and don't know what to do with all your clutter, self-storage can be an enticing option. Many storage companies offer heavily discounted rates for the first month – we're talking a single dollar for 30 days of housing your junk. At that price, what's the catch?
The problem is that after packing, transporting and storing their possessions in a facility, most people tend to leave them there for months or even years at a time, resulting in a bill that runs into the thousands. Though there are some cases where self-storage makes sense, for most people a far cheaper and more effective option is to take a look at everything you own, decide what can be thrown away, and find smart ways to store the rest. Here are some strategies for tackling the often daunting process.
To store or not to store
"I take a very dim view of the self-storage industry," says Sharon Lowenheim, the owner of New York-based Organizing Goddess, Inc. "It's kind of sad that people are willing to pay for the privilege of holding onto their possessions but never actually seeing them." Lowenheim believes there are only a few scenarios in which storage would be a good option, including college students who need to leave their dorms for the summer, those whose residences are undergoing renovation, and people who are showing their homes to potential buyers. In those situations, storing large items such as furniture may be cost effective. If this is you, calculate the price of storage over the projected period – plus the money you'll spend on transportation – and compare it with the cost of replacing your items. If it works out cheaper or around the same to buy new furniture, skip self-storage.
Tackling the clutter
Saying no to storage means having to address your clutter — a task that can feel overwhelming. Nancy Heller, a professional organizer at Goodbye Clutter, specializes in coaching people through the process of letting treasured possessions go. Often, her clients are emotionally invested in items that have little inherent value but carry huge emotional meaning. A sentimental person herself, Heller recommends keeping a few key items that are associated with good memories, and letting the rest go. One of her strategies for pack rats is to take a large box and fill it with all the nostalgic things the client wants to keep. When the box becomes overstuffed and the person realizes how much room it's taking up, the client is more inclined to part ways with their possessions.
Lowenheim offers a few more tips for dealing with clutter:
- – Ask yourself what contribution each item is making to your life right now — not ten years ago, and not in an imagined future. If the answer is "not much," the trash can awaits.
- – Collectors may find it difficult to let go of things after spending a long time accumulating an entire set of items. But if you have ten of something, isn't it more valuable to display three and get rid of the other seven, instead of shoving the whole lot in a drawer? Line up the collection and choose a few favorites. The rest can go.
- – For those things you can't bear to part with, consider displaying them in a more compact form. A common space hog is t-shirts — instead of keeping them all in a drawer, you could turn them into a quilt. (Or pay a company to do it for you.) Take photos of large items and keep the pictures instead of the objects.
- – Envision where your items will go when you when they leave your home. Visualizing someone else making use of your long-neglected possessions may make it easier to bid them goodbye.
Selling your stuff
When you've moved everything you no longer need into a giant pile in the middle of your living room, thoughts of eBay and Craigslist may dance in your head. But don't get your hopes up. "People have an inflated opinion of how much their things are worth," says Lowenheim. Second-hand items are difficult to unload at anything close to their original price. Of course, there are a few exceptions. Products in excellent condition made recently by big brand names may fetch a few dollars. Lowenheim cites American Girl dolls and Nintendo gaming consoles as examples, but advises checking eBay to get an idea of what people are paying. Otherwise, the best option is to donate to a local charity and score a tax deduction for your trouble.
Making more room
Once you've gotten rid of your old stuff, find ways of optimizing the storage space in your newly sparse home. Combined with ruthless decision-making, this will prevent the clutter from creeping back in. Here are a few ways to make more room:
- – Think vertically. Heller suggests shelves around the perimeter of wall, hooks on the backs of doors, and boxes under the bed. You could also add a hutch above your desk. And make every bookcase a tall one.
- – Choose furniture with built-in storage. Ottomans, love seats and beds with compartments are all good options.
- – Keep surfaces clear. No, really – make it a policy. Once there are a few stray papers on a desk, something cosmic happens and a giant mound of junk suddenly appears.
Legendary personal organizer Barbara Hemphill has a great quote: "Clutter is postponed decisions." Be decisive about the things that end up in your home and you'll eliminate the need for self-storage, saving a ton of money and time.
