The 2009 Race season is right around the corner. Hard to believe the long Michigan winter is almost over. Just as I knew it would happen, the closer the first race gets the more I miss the training sessions. It's going to be hard to sit on the sidelines this year and not race but I know it's still for the better that I don't. Plus, my training for the 2010 season will be starting up soon. I will say the rest I have taken this winter has done wonders for my body and I feel like I am back at full strength.
One thing I don't miss is the big grocery bills and having to eat something every 45 minutes. I was pushing 4,000 calories a day just to not lose any more weight. And of course it wasn't 4,000 calories of junk food that leave you stuffed for hours. It was calories upon calories of veggies, fruits, chicken, pasta and all that stuff that burns away fast. Then the bill for all the hydration powders and gels to eat while I rode.
To keep busy I have been tooling around at the ramp parks on my bmx bike with my son Ashton. Also I am in the process of building a dirt jumper to use at the Stony Skills Park this year. Can't wait until I finish it. I have most of the parts but need a couple more things from the Captain to finish it.
Speaking of building bikes, I have started to brainstorm about my next race bike and what I plan to build. I am actually tossing around the idea of going with a 29'er. Kona makes a really nice full suspension 29'er frame that I'd love to try out. I am going to have to go take some test rides soon and see what this 29'er hype is all about. This next bike tho will surpass my last build in terms of what I want. The last thought is what to do with my road bike. It's so ready for some love and needs some attention. I keep saying every year I am going to get a new one but somethig always comes up and I end up buying a different bike r a lot of replacement parts for the race bike.
As far as the team goes for this year....not sure what's going to happen with everyone. Jeff is planning to do what's natural for him and compete in more endurance events. He will be going out and doing some 100 miles races this year. I think he's up for it. After racing with him in the 6 Hours of Addison and the Stony Creek Marathon I know he's ready for the jump to the 100 mile races. He'll do well too. The guy is a machine and can hold himself in a zone for hours. When he satrted peaking last season in our Expert/CAT-1 category he started winning the geared races and still making it to the podium in the SS classes. 50-60 mile race days became normal for him and you could see he still had more left in the tank.
I believe Heather and Dawn will be back racing in the Elite/Pro level. I'm anxious to see how much faster Heather will be this year. I haven't talked to her much this of season but the Captain says she's ready to roll. Mike and Brian will continue their quests in the Sport or now CAT-2 category. Brian is actually training this off season and I see him returning back to 2007 form when he spent a lot of time going fast and finishing on the podium.
As for Scotty, Alex the Kid, Goatboy, Amber Alert, The Godfather and Aunt Darlene, I am not sure what their plans are for this year. I hope some year that we'll get back to the 2007 team turnouts. At every race we always had a big turnout and it made race day loads of fun.
So hopefully we'll get more riders back to the starting lines, me included. But until then I'll be quietly training on the sidelines to come back in 2010 right where I left off.

So, after all these blog posts nattering on about tea and tea news, is this (very) niche topic actually sustainable?
My honest answer is a resounding YES (but with some minor changes).
I've discovered that market of 'tea culture' reporting is not exactly saturated – in fact, I have often wondered why I chose one of the nichest of niche topics, but anyway. Of course, I discovered there were sites devoted to different teas available, celebrities who drink tea, the economic world of tea, but all of that stuff in the one place? Nope. That's what I'm offering! All the tea news in the one place!
However, I'm picturing something with a little more than just tea talk. I'm thinking of more of a focus on tea, but within the cafe and food culture as a whole. For example, your general cafe review can have an underlying tea twist – what's in it for the tea drinker? Recipes involving tea (tea-infused jam, anyone?), health benefits of tea, interviews with tea house owners, finding out how to run a successful tea shop. you would have various categories: tea in health, business, economics, relationships, lifestyle, travel. And hell, even celebrity gossip (just read my last post…). Some evergreen stories would also be good – tea has surrounded some major political changes in the past – the Boston Tea Party, for example. Perhaps some articles revisiting some pivotal points in political history, and how tea played a role in these would be interesting to readers.
Anyway, that sort of thing sounds like something I would read, so perhaps others might read it too.

LIMA, Peru - A Shining Path guerrilla commander believed responsible for an ambush that killed eight policemen in December has died in a shootout with authorities in Peru's jungle, police said Monday.
Hector Aponte was killed Sunday in a jungle hamlet in the Huallaga Valley, Police Gen. Luis Montoya told Canal N television. The valley is a prime coca-producing region where remnants of the guerrilla group protect cocaine traffickers.
Montoya said two other guerrillas were captured and that police seized "an abundance of armaments and printed material of the guerrilla group."
Aponte was a top commander under Comrade Artemio, one of the last original Shining Path leaders still at large.
Two years ago, Artemio announced a renewal of "armed activity," including spreading propaganda, sabotage and assassinations, after President Alejandro Toledo's government refused to negotiate an amnesty for the rebels.
Eight police were killed by about 20 guerrillas in December on an isolated jungle highway near the town of Aucayacu, 220 miles northeast of Lima.
The Shining Path launched a campaign of car bombings, political assassinations and massacres in 1980, but its activity dropped sharply after the 1992 capture of its founder, Abimael Guzman.

However, the tattoo enthusiasts are more inclined to this form of tattoos for they have extensive options to customize the designs and create unique body art. People with creative skill try different flower patterns to make their tattoos more appealing and meaningful.
Many forms of tattoos have inherent meanings apart from their literal appearances. The flower tattoos with their various patterns and designs have different significances. Often, they say a lot about the personality of the person who wears the tattoos. For instance, the Lily flower which is cherished for its calming colors, also symbolizes peace and harmony and purity of the person. Different flowers have different meanings and also same flower with different form has different meanings. For instance, flowers generally symbolize softer aspects of one's personality, but when combined with thorns their significance changes to tougher side. Hence, it is crucial to know the meanings of the flower tattoos before getting inked with one of those beautiful flower patterns.
Flower tattoos have been trendy and fashionable in all generation though the fashion and designs for this kind of tattoos have been changing over the time.

Customized flower tattoos are becoming increasingly popular among people with a flair for body art. Even the tattoo artists have stirred their creativity to create the best designs that fits their desires of the tattoo lovers.

The Leeds and Liverpool Canal could have ended up going through Leyland instead of Chorley, as this brief history by MIKE CLARKE describes:
Canal technology developed over many centuries. The lock, with gates at either end of a chamber, was perfected in 15th-century Italy, with the first true canals, with locks, aqueducts, tunnels and an independent water supply, being built in seventeenth century France.
Britain was a bit of a backwater until the eighteenth century, but then the towns of Leeds and Liverpool became the centres for the development of new inland waterways that were to change the world.
Leeds was first with the Aire and Calder Navigation, opened in 1700, the first inland waterway to be built by merchants rather than the crown or landed gentry.
Liverpool quickly followed suit, with local merchants building the Mersey and Irwell, Weaver and Douglas Navigations, all of which were in use by 1741.
These new waterways marked the start of the industrial revolution; for the first time economic change was brought about by local people rather than government or aristocracy.
The two groups argued, and eventually it was decided to use the Yorkshire men's route, with construction starting at each end simultaneously
The Douglas Navigation was built to supply Liverpool with coal from the Wigan coalfield, and in 1772 was to become part of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal.
The canal was initially promoted by woollen merchants in Bradford who wanted a better supply of limestone from Craven and a route for their products to the growing port of Liverpool.
The canal was too big a project for them to finance alone, so they sought partners from other areas, especially Liverpool. The merchants in Liverpool were more concerned to have a good supply of coal as the town was perhaps the largest industrial centre in Lancashire at that time.
Each group suggested a route for the canal. The Yorkshire men proposed following the Aire Valley and then crossing into Lancashire at Foulridge, the canal then passing through Padiham, Whalley, Leyland and Parbold before crossing the West Lancashire lowlands to Liverpool.
The Lancashire men suggested a different route through East Lancashire, passing Burnley, Blackburn, Chorley and Wigan before rejoining the Yorkshire men's route at Parbold.
The two groups argued, and eventually it was decided to use the Yorkshire men's route, with construction starting at each end simultaneously.
The Douglas navigation was purchased to give access to the Wigan coalfield, a branch canal from Parbold joining the old navigation at Gathurst.
Construction began in 1770, and by 1777 the canal was open from Leeds to Gargrave, and from Liverpool to Parbold, together with the link to the Douglas Navigation.
Then money ran out and, apart from minor improvements, work ceased until 1790. Over that decade, East Lancashire had become a much more important industrial area, and in 1794 the route was altered to serve the growing towns of Burnley and Blackburn.
Unfortunately, there was a problem between Johnsons Hillock and Wigan. The Lancaster Canal had obtained its Act in 1793, allowing it to build a canal on the best line through the Douglas valley from Chorley to Wigan.
Because of this, the Leeds and Liverpool Canal proposed to use a different route from Johnsons Hillock, passing near Horwich and then down a flight of 30 locks from Aspull to Wigan.
By 1801 the southern section of the Lancaster Canal was open from Aspull, passing Johnsons Hillock and on to Walton Summit, from where a tramroad to Preston connected it with the canal's northern section from Preston to Lancaster.
In the same year the Leeds and Liverpool Canal was extended from Burnley to Clayton-le-Moors, with Blackburn being reached in 1810. All that remained was to join Blackburn with Wigan to complete the through route across the Pennines.
Money for canal construction was limited, and as a temporary measure the Leeds and Liverpool Canal suggested a junction with the Lancaster Canal at Johnsons Hillock, and then a flight of twenty-three locks down to Wigan from the Aspull end of that canal.
This was agreed, much to the annoyance of the Manchester Bolton and Bury Canal who had hoped to build a branch to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal near Horwich.
Following this agreement, the Lancaster Canal built the Johnsons Hillock Locks and the Leeds and Liverpool built the Wigan Locks, thus completing their through route between Lancashire and Yorkshire in 1816.
The canal's Leigh Branch was built to the Bridgewater Canal in 1821, forming a link with the canal system in the Midlands. Finally, in 1846, the Stanley Dock Branch opened in 1846, giving canal boats access to Liverpool Docks and the River Mersey.
It had taken 76 years for the canal finally to link the Irish Sea with the North Sea.
The Leeds and Liverpool Canal continued to operate successfully until the First World War, and was well able to compete with railways.
However, after the war road traffic increased and traditional canalside industries declined, and by the end of the Second World War there was much less traffic on the canal.
Along with most other canals, the Leeds and Liverpool Canal was nationalised in 1948, and today it is still a public asset.
Freight continued to use the canal until the early 1960s. Coal for mills, wool for Yorkshire, and sugar from Tate and Lyle's in Liverpool were the main cargoes.
There were even a few trial loads in the 1970s, when enthusiasts tried to resurrect traffic on the canal, but the hard winter of 1963/4 had effectively brought an end to trade.
The canal might have closed at that time, but it survived, its future secured by Barbara Castle when she was Minister of Transport in the early 1970s.

Is Lebanon the Middle East's next domino?set their sights on Lebanon.
Rebel forces on Monday expanded their control even further, as forces of the Lebanese-based terror group Hezbollah reportedly clashed with Syrian rebels in the Qalmoun mountain region, near the Syrian-Lebanese border in the south of Lebanon.
Security sources told the Lebanese Al Mustaqbal paper about the clashes, noting "Hezbollah soldiers were forced to retreat from the area amid night strikes by Assad warplanes in the area."
Hezbollah has sent soldiers in the past to aid Assad in Syria, where a Shi'ite axis has been formed between the Iran-proxy terror group, Assad, and Iran. Rebel forces have been encroaching into Lebanese territory as that policy has come home to roost, with the brutal Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) recently conquering parts of Lebanon.Hezbullah is accusing ISIS of seeking to ignite sectarian strife in Lebanon.
Lebanese MP Mohammad Raad, who head's the Hezbollah bloc in Lebanon's parliament, stressed that the country's army and his Shi'ite Islamist group were capable of defeating Islamic State's Sunni extremists.It sure doesn't sound like Hezbullah is capable of handling this. As long as they stay away from Israel... faster, faster....
Raad condemned Islamic State, accusing the Sunni terror group of seeking to ignite sectarian strife in Lebanon with the capture, along with Syrian Islamists, in August of a group of Lebanese soldiers.
"There is no need for fear at all. The Lebanese Army and the Resistance are very well capable of using the appropriate antidote with the monsters," the Daily Star quoted Raad as saying.
"If ISIS is conspiring to sow strife and chaos between the components of the country, we should prevent it from achieving its goals by rejecting sedition," he added.
Islamic State militants have beheaded two captive Lebanese soldiers among a group of 19 soldiers since militants, including fighters affiliated with Islamic State, raided the Lebanese border town of Arsal in August.

Much of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 is geared toward increasing competition between cable, phone and wireless players. It can be argued that the ruling succeeded; other events stimulated competition; or a combination of both occurred. The bottom line is that the telecommunications sector is a far more vibrant place than it ever has been before.
That reality, of course, is something that makes most people -- perhaps with the exception of phone company executives and shareholders -- happy. It also suggests that the real world has bypassed this Supreme Court decision, described here in an Associated Press story posted at MSNBC.
A group of consumers charged that four Baby Bells (whose identities changed during the initial suit and two appeals due to mergers and acquisitions) had agreed not to market phone and high-speed data services in each others' territories. The Supreme Court dismissed the case in a 7-2 decision because the plaintiffs had not produced actual evidence that the companies had conspired.
The plaintiffs hoped to find this evidence during the discovery phase of a trial. The court accepted the telcos argument that it was possible that the companies engaged in parallel behavior due to similar conditions in the marketplace.
Let's assume for a second that the phone companies had conspired to restrain competition by focusing on their own territories in an effort to suppress the upstarts. In that case, it's fair to say that it hasn't worked out so well. The litigants can rightly claim that such a conspiracy would make life difficult for the truly small players looking to gain a toehold. Large long-distance companies and cable operators would have been able to compete no matter what the incumbents did.
In the big picture, however, such action on the part of the incumbent likely wouldn't have too big an impact on the overall direction of the industry simply because of the massive changes in technology during the past decade. The decision is more focused on the mechanics of antitrust law. The key question was whether a plaintiff needs evidence of actual wrongdoing or just a plausible theory before the right to seek that evidence is obtained in a trial's discovery process.
While that certainly is important, it has nothing to do with the telecommunications industry. The technology has evolved so far and the telcos are so changed that any decision the courts came to wouldn't have mattered much, outside of monetary damages eventually awarded the plaintiffs if a trial had been allowed.

Just when you think Poynter Institute senior scholar Clark, who has written some of the best books on the writer's craft, has covered everything related to the subject, he digs deep into literature and excavates a gold mine of artistic strategies for great writing.
While his last book, How to Write Short (2013), examined pithy prose in today's ubiquitous media, this illuminating volume focuses on superb writing through the centuries. Readers may not consider the work of ancient poets Homer and Virgil as examples of cinematic writing, but these scribes, who zoom in and out of scenes with words, have a lot to teach us. Clark cites a passage from Virgil's The Aeneid that describes a raging storm at sea, noting that centuries "before anyone dreamed of the aerial shot or…special effects…there was Virgil creating in language the vertiginous seascape of the drowning sailors." Clark also has a flair for language as he describes one of Virgil's "amazing" sentences as "coiling and uncoiling like the serpents it describes, directing our eyes back and forth, in and out, from the action of the serpents to the movements of the sea, then close enough to see eyes of blood and fire." The Great Gatsby yields an intricately built architecture in which F. Scott Fitzgerald plants "strategic treasures"—words and images—at the end of his first chapter that are echoed in the luminous, oft-quoted last four paragraphs of the novel. Flannery O'Connor's short stories, writes Clark, school us in the uses of foreboding and foreshadowing. Gustave Flaubert employed small gestures and domestic details to reveal Emma Bovary's frame of mind. In The Canterbury Tales, Chaucer demonstrates poetic flow in his ecstatic descriptions of spring. Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye offers the lyrical use of repetition, not to be confused with redundancy.
With lively, colorful writing and inspired practical advice, this guide earns a spot along with Clark's Writing Tools (2006) as essential reading for writers. Recommended for book lovers as well.

Fire Poi
We manufacture a range of high quality, safe and durable fire spinning poi sets right here in the warehouse. They are constructed from the finest steel parts, and very high quality wicks.

Fire poi mix beautifully with fire devilstick spinning and fire ball juggling, but if you are not quite ready for the flames yet, then we have the glorious LED glow poi sets that you can buy to really light up your evening of spinning.

Very decorative truly antique, 1770's print of an elegant lady standing, in the sanguine color, crayon technique (also known as "chalk-manner") perfected by talented eighteenth century artist GILLES DEMARTEAU (1722-1776). The print, executed after a painting by the great French Rococo master Jean-Honore Fragonard, measures 15" by 10 5/8" inside the fine French matting, with gilt border and numerous outlines, that in turn housed in a gold leaf antique frame measuring 22" by 18". Fragonard's name appears in the margin at lower left, and Demarteau's at lower right, along with "No. 35". At bottom center margin appears "A Paris chez Demarteau. Graveur du Roi, rue de la Pelterie a la Cloche". The print bears convincing evidence of its great age, including brown foxing/discoloration (the largest smaller than the diameter of a pencil eraser), a very small hole at lower left, creasing, soiling and general wear. There may have been attempts to repair some of the short tears, there being whitish areas in the face and uppermost portion. To summarize, the print is hardly in mint condition, but the overall antique effect of this very traditional imagery is very satisfying, especially at normal viewing distance. Some rectangular whitish areas in photos are simply reflections.

Police Friday questioned 15 people in connection with a bomb that exploded late Thursday in front of the U.S. Consulate and injured three Costa Ricans.
The blast, apparently planted under a vehicle parked near the consulate, shattered windows and caused other damage to the consulate, the Panamanian Tourist Institute and several nearby shops. The main embassy building, located across the street, was not damaged. Broken glass and debris was strewn throughout the area.
Three Costa Ricans were wounded in the Thursday night blast, one of them seriously, said a spokesman at San Juan de Dios Hospital.
"We are holding 15 people, both Costa Ricans and foreigners, for questioning in the explosion," said a Public Security Ministry offiial, who refused to identify the suspects.
"We have also received a number of anonymous calls claiming other bombs may go off in the capital, but these appear to be pure speculation," he said.
Ambassador Lewis Tambs told reporters at the scene that the blast was a "terrorist act," but U.S. Embassy spokesman Mark Krischik said officials "have no concrete proof" to back the claim.
There was no indication the bombing was linked to Libyan leader Col. Moammar Khadafy's call for attacks on U.S. targets in retaliation for the U.S. air strike on two Libyan cities early Tuesday.

What: Shares of PowerSecure International (UNKNOWN:POWR.DL) are up more than 87.5% at 12:35 p.m. ET on Feb. 25 following the announcement that the company, which makes and sells distributed power systems, energy-efficient lighting products, and infrastructure components for electric utilities, has agreed to be acquired by utility giant Southern Co. (NYSE:SO) for $18.75 per share in cash.
So what: The acquisition will benefit Southern, especially as more and more utility customers move to renewable and distributed power generation and take steps to improve their energy efficiency. In other words, Southern is taking this step as a defensive move, allowing it to continue to monetize customers who are taking steps to reduce their reliance on power utilities.
For PowerSecure, the move is a big win for shareholders who have bought since May 2014's major earnings debacle, when a refocusing of the company's business led to big losses and revenue shortfalls and the company's share price falling by 62% in a single day.
Now what: Barring a bidding war by another company, there's probably not much upside for PowerShare investors. The stock is trading at about $18.52, slightly below the $18.75 per share Southern will pay for the company. It's typical that a stock price will trade at a slight discount to the closing price for a merger or buyout, but the gap will steadily narrow as the deal -- which is expected to close in the second quarter -- nears completion.
Depending on your situation, you may want to sell now or you may want to wait. If you hold shares in a tax-deferred retirement account, there's little reason to hold your shares besides eking out the small premium still remaining, especially if you have an idea of where to reinvest your proceeds in mind already.
But if you hold shares in a taxable account and you've held them less than one year, it may be worthwhile to hold a little longer, if you can get past the one-year mark before selling. This is because if you sell shares you've held for less than one year, you'll be subject to short-term capital gains tax, which is based on your marginal income tax rate, while long-term gains -- anything you've held more than a year -- would be taxed at the long-term gains rate of 15% for most people and 20% for some very high earners. Either way, the long-term rate is almost definitely going to be lower than your marginal income tax rate.

- The Moon is Halfway to Heaven
When you die, you stop off at the Moon on the way to Heaven to have lunch and wave goodbye to everyone on Earth.
"From 1928 to 2010, The Moon Is Halfway To Heaven tells the story of lifelong friends Jamie and Paul. Wide-eyed Jamie is in love with life, while sensible Paul acts as the reins keeping his friend from flying too high. Aged seven, they believe that grown-ups know everything - but as they navigate the trials and joys of adolescence, adulthood and old age, they begin to see that we never really grow up.
The Moon Is Halfway To Heaven is a poignant comedy that shows how conventional family ties are sometimes superseded by the love for a friend."
Written by David Kerby-Kendall.

Chapter 3
First Words
Reassured about her immediate safety, she turned her attention again to Kris. Kneeling by her side, he was observing her with a slightly expectant look, though she had no idea what he could want from her. Her observer training kicked in and she unconsciously started cataloguing details.
His knee-length pants and tunic-like, sleeveless shirt seemed woven from a natural fiber. Their uniform light brown color appeared original to the fiber and not dyed. The weaving was fine, but clearly handmade. He didn't seem to be carrying any tool or weapon. All of it confirmed what her preliminary observations had revealed; the planet's civilization was pre-industrial. At the back of her mind, she already hoped she would have the opportunity to see artisans at work and document their techniques.
At the same time, she detailed his appearance. He seemed human, which reinforced the theory that the planet had been seeded by one of the Lost Ships. His facial features were strong, his jaw covered by the beginning of stubble. The gray of his eyes was a little unusual, but not unheard of. His black, shaggy hair fell to his shoulders. His body was lean but muscled, and tanned by the sun. He seemed in good health and well nourished. If she had had to guess, she would have placed him somewhere around her age: seventeen, or maybe a little older.
He was also good-looking, a small part of her added, although that had nothing to do with a formal observation.
She noticed then that his clothes and hair were dripping wet. "Did you pull me from the river?" she asked before remembering that Kris didn't understand her.
He frowned slightly, indicating he didn't comprehend. Zaren grimaced. When she had been in contact with a civilization new to her during her training, she had had a translang to help her communicate. She had brought one of the devices along on this trip, even though she hadn't been supposed to meet anyone, but it was with the rest of her equipment: in the shuttle.
"I don't suppose you know where my shuttle fell?" she asked as she stood, knowing it was useless but needing to fill the silence.
Kris stood as well. He said a few words, but even if they had been an answer to her question, Zaren wouldn't have understood. With a slightly hesitant hand, Kris reached toward her arm and touched her torn sleeve. It was holding on to her top with no more than a few threads. She wondered if the wolf had done this. If it had, she was lucky it hadn't ripped through her flesh as well. She shuddered as she remembered the animal's gleaming teeth.
"Torn for torn, I might as well tear it off," she said aloud, speaking to herself.
She grabbed the edge of the sleeve and pulled hard, finishing to separate it from her top. She peeled it from her arm.
Head tilted to one side, Kris reached again to touch the fabric. Frowning, he rubbed it between his fingertips before doing the same thing to the edge of his tunic. Zaren didn't understand his words, but the surprise in his voice was clear enough.
"Yeah, it's dry," she said, smiling. "The miracles of artificial fabrics."
She shoved the bit of fabric inside her pocket. It was bad enough that she was having unauthorized contact with a native, she couldn't leave anything behind. Her eyes widened at the thought and she looked back at the river. From the bank, she could see how fast it flowed. Her seat and parachute were long gone. Those, she would have to abandon. She was lucky enough to have survived; trying to fish out her belongings would have been suicide.
Looking around, she tried to orientate herself. It proved much more complicated a task while in the middle of a dense forest than when she had been above it. The direction of the river's flow gave her a small idea about which way to go, but she had no clue how far away the shuttle had fallen.
Trying not to be discouraged, she looked at Kris. He was observing her every move with rapt interest.
"Did you see my shuttle fall?" she asked again. "Shuttle?"
Feeling a bit silly, she raised her arms and batted them awkwardly like a bird before pointing up at the sky.
"Shuttle. It flies." She batted her arms again. "It's silver. It fell down the sky." She pulled her sleeve from her pocked again, bunched it up and threw it in the air, pointing at it as it fell to the mossy ground. "See? It fell like this." She glanced at Kris, who was giving her a completely bewildered look. She sighed. "And I don't know why I'm standing here babbling at you when clearly you don't understand a word of what I say."
Kris picked up her sleeve. Rather than handing it back to her, he folded it this way and that, creating a long form with small triangles sticking out horizontally by its tail. He looked up at Zaren, an eyebrow raised questioningly as he said something. Zaren blinked, her hopes suddenly renewed.
"Yes! That's my shuttle! Did you see it?"
She pointed at her eyes, then at the representation of the shuttle again. Kris tilted his head back, looking at the ceiling of branches high above them; only a little bit of sky was visible beyond it. Then he looked at the river, before turning his eyes to the forest around them. He didn't seem to know which way the shuttle was, Zaren thought dejectedly.
She picked the bit of fabric from his open palm and looked at it, thinking. Maybe if she found a way to get some height, she could manage to orient herself. She turned her eyes to the closest tree. How hard could it be to climb it, she wondered, and tried not to think about what would happen if she fell.
She froze at the hesitant word and returned her full attention to Kris. He was pointing in the direction where she had thought the shuttle might have fallen.
"My shuttle?" she said, reining in her excitement. "It's this way? You saw it fall?"
He repeated the word again, this time pronouncing it a little better. He was still pointing at the forest. Zaren pointed at herself, then at him, then at the same direction he was indicating. "Can you take me there? Can you help me find my shuttle?"
One last time, he repeated the word "Shuttle," then took a few steps forward, looking at Zaren as though to invite her to come with him.
She beamed at him. "Thank you."
He returned her smile and they started into the forest together.
* * * *
The first few minutes were intensely frustrating. Zaren kept talking and looking around her, but none of it made sense to Kris. She did seem to repeat one word several times. It had to be important. He watched her mime something—flying? Could she shift, too? Did she want him to shift to his bird form now?—and point to her torn sleeve as it dropped to the ground. It caught a stray bit of sunlight and gleamed, just like the flying thing had when it had disappeared beyond the forest.
Inspiration struck in a flash. Was that what she was talking about?
He picked up the silver fabric and folded it into the flying object's shape. Her face lit up. It was what she wanted. It was that… shuttle thing she kept mentioning. It had to be. At least now he knew what to do. He'd lead her to it.
He pointed the way and they started in that direction. He kept an eye on her for the first few minutes. She wore strange, flat shoes that weren't suited for a trek through the woods. He slowed down his step to accommodate hers and thought about what he was doing. At this pace, it would take them two or three days to get out of the forest and reach the swamps that bordered the Ushias' territory where he had lost sight of the shuttle. Three days should be enough for him to figure out what he would do then.
But three days were a very long time for Elea in her condition. He'd hoped to go back from his journey as quickly as he could; this had definitely not been in his plans.
He stopped and looked back at the sound of his name. Zaren was leaning against a tree, her breathing fast and heavy. Clearly, she needed to rest. Maybe angels were used to flying but not to walking through the woods.
He looked up toward the sky. He couldn't see the sun, but judging by the brightness filtering through the branches, it had to be past noon. Maybe they could stop for a while, rest and have some food.
He pointed at several large rocks on the ground. "We could camp here for a while."
She merely stared at him. He walked to a rock and tapped it with his hand. "Sit here. I'll make a fire."
Her brow furrowed but she did come forward, and when Kris tapped the rock again, she sat down, the question clear on her face as to whether this was what he wanted. He nodded, smiling, to show her that she had understood him correctly.
In a few minutes, he had gathered enough dry wood to light a small fire in front of Zaren.
"I'll get food," he told her, hoping his calm voice would assure her that he wasn't abandoning her. "I'll be back soon."
She nodded uncertainly. He could feel her eyes on him until he had walked far enough into the trees to disappear from her sight. Only then did he shift into is panther form and started jumping up trees to hunt.
* * * *
"You made fire," Ilona Brink said, her voice holding all her doubts. "How exactly did you do that?"
Zaren swallowed hard and tried to picture as clearly as she could those gestures she had watched Kris make a few times. It had seemed easy; she had no doubt that it really wasn't.
"I had read accounts of primitive cultures creating fire by rubbing pieces of dry wood together," she said. "I tried to do that. It took me a long time, but I managed to do it."
A few members of the council seemed suitably impressed. Others looked at her in frank disbelief. Zaren tried to remain calm. She had already put this in her report, she couldn't go back on it now, not if she wanted them to accept her words as true.
"Maybe you can demonstrate this technique to us later," Brink said, pleasantly enough, but Zaren had the clear impression that it would be a test of how much the council ought to believe her.
"So, you made fire and you gathered food," the man sitting on Brink's left said, leaning forward intently. "How did you know what food to pick? You could have poisoned yourself."
Zaren remembered thinking the same thing when Kris had brought back several oval fruits and a small furry creature. She had watched in mild disgust as he peeled away its fur and prepared it using sharp rocks before putting it to roast over the fire. He had tried to offer her a piece of meat when the pink flesh had turned brown, but Zaren had declined. She might have been lost on a primitive planet, but she wasn't so far gone as to eat a piece of a living creature.
She had turned to the fruits instead and hoped as she had taken her first bite that her physiology and Kris' were similar enough that his food wouldn't poison her. The pale, yellow skin of the fruit yielded easily when she bit it, revealing a succulent, juicy flesh. She feasted on the fruits while avoiding looking at Kris as he heartily ate the small animal he had caught.
"I guess I was lucky," she finally answered. "The fruits I picked were nutritious, and very good. They sustained me for the three days it took me to get out of the forest and find the shuttle."
It wasn't really a lie, she told herself as the members of the council scrutinized her. She had eaten more of the fruits in the days that had followed, along with other foods Kris had found for them. She learned their names as they walked, and these had been her first words in his language.
"What about at night?" Brink asked, looking down at the screen in front of her then back at Zaren. "It says in your report that you found shelter. Can you tell us more about it?"
The memory of the first night she had spent in the forest resurfaced, and with it, her second glimpse of the wolf. Zaren's heart started thundering in her chest. She had been so scared, that first night, awakening to find Kris gone, and this strange animal observing her instead. She had to be more careful than ever now. She couldn't give Kris and his people away with a careless word. She had promised she wouldn't.

Naperville, St. Charles pharmacies hit by dial-a-drug robber
Walgreens pharmacy workers in Naperville and St. Charles were robbed by telephone this week in two "strange" but apparently related cases, police said Friday.
In both instances, victims received calls indicating they were being watched and would be harmed if they didn't turn over drugs. The employees then handed out bags of prescription pills through drive-up windows.
"It's pretty strange," Naperville Police Sgt. Lou Cammiso said. "Of course, we tend to be suspicious sometimes, but when St. Charles had one we figured this must be the real deal. We believe it's the same offender."
The Walgreens at 63 W. 87th St. in Naperville was hit shortly after midnight Monday. Cammiso said a female pharmacy worker received a call from a man who described what she was doing at the moment, indicating she was being watched. The suspect told her to fill a bag with Oxycodone painkillers and hand it through the drive-up window or "she would be hurt very badly," Cammiso said.
Soon, a man wearing a hat with fold-down earflaps and a long coat -- possibly green in color -- appeared at the drive-up window. The victim gave him about 1,200 pills valued at $4,000, and the robber walked off, police said.
Less than 24 hours later, about 9:35 p.m. Monday, a similar scenario unfolded at a Walgreens at 2751 E. Main St. in St. Charles.
Police spokesman Paul McCurtain said a male pharmacy worker received a call from a man who said there was an armed accomplice in the store. The employee then handed a bag of undisclosed drugs out the drive-up window.
No injuries were reported in either robbery, and police in both jurisdictions said they were reviewing surveillance footage for leads.
Cammiso said the Naperville victim told police the suspect "sounded to her like a male white" but she did not get a good look at his hair or face. St. Charles police did not release a description.
To report tips, call Naperville police at (630) 420-6006 or St. Charles police at (630) 377-4435.

Hi Guys, we grow seed and ware potatoes commercially on our farm, 2 years ago we experimented with baby salad potatoes (Perline, Gwenne, Jester) and next year we plan to grow 50ac of them. Last year we tried 3-in-a-bed planting (GB330) on a 1.8m bed - it didn't work out, we have stony and shaley land, the bed stuck together after some moderate rain and we harvested both the potatoes and the stone at the slowest speed imaginable. The two row potatoes (GB215) were much easier to harvest and subsequently grade. Strangely, our side by side yield digs showed no increase in yield from 3-in-a-bed (planted @ 15cm apart) to two row (planted @ 13cm apart).
We are currently looking into quad planting on a two row system, does anyone have an experience or advice about the use of a quad system on cups with baby salad potatoes compared to that of a conventional two row system? As regards machinery choice, yield comparison, field management?
All advice appreciated!

Lately my life has been filled with little bits of wonder that have been keeping me in top sprirts. I surprised my family with vegan pumpkin pie muffins and 'pumpkin' brownies (which tasted just like normal brownies and came out WAY fudgier than the photo) and they were not disappointed. 😉
And I may or may not have eaten three last night as a bedtime 'snack'.
I've also been experimenting with other foods (especially sriracha hot sauce, which I've put on everything in the past week) to try to keep surprising myself. I finally prepared the black pasta that I bought when I was in Bologna and turned it into a cheater's asian dish, with garlic, soy sauce, and sriracha. The falafel on the side was just to help my famished tummy after going to the gym.
The other goop that you see is a hispanic-inspired white bean and bell pepper puree. I threw in yummy spices like cumin, paprika and lime juice (but NO cilantro, NEVER
cilantro). I added in some nutritional yeast for a boost of flavour, which in turn downed the spicyness of the whole dish. 😦 Next time I'll have to take note and just add the tahini that I was going to add in the first place! On top I crushed some flax crackers just for some fun texture and a big more heavyness. It was a great use of leftovers!
As for your pasta al forno, I believe you did a WONDERFUL job. Food is to be considered a success if it tastes good, not if you did the recipe "correctly". That's why I'm not going to consider myself a 'vegan' in this time, and I will stop considering myself a 'vegetarian', because I don't deserve the strict title. I enjoy the food that I make, which is without meat. If you enjoy the food that you made, then it shouldn't matter what you call it.
Ti amo tantissimo,
Bambi ❤
P.S. Grazie mille per aver preso la maglione!! E' molto, molto carina!

from The Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia
- n. A level space used for the assembly and array of troops, as well as for exercises in drilling, marching, etc: same as parade, 4.
Sorry, no etymologies found.
Others try to make something tidy and classically restrained out of music that moves from haunted-house creepiness through fractured Viennese waltzes and mandolin serenades to an Elgar-on-steroids, parade-ground finale.
Often he saw these boats turn aside from the street and enter the flooded square that marked the Barracks 'parade-ground.
In the past, McChrystal has often expressed unease with the pomp and circumstance of the institutional Army, and he tried to avoid a big parade-ground send-off in favor of something quieter and low-key.
Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal's retirement ceremony marked by laughter and regret
He pulled himself to attention and announced in his best parade-ground voice:
Troche went on to describe how parade-ground architects found many other opportunities to incorporate the number twelve into their designs.
He was dead right about the vermin, but Russell wouldn't have it; he claimed this was just stiff-necked parade-ground nonsense and red tape on Raglan's part, and wrote as much.
Waterfield gave him the "present" and "fire", and the single demonstration shot cracked across the great parade-ground.
Suddenly, as clearly as if I were on a parade-ground, my ears caught the sound of a bugle-call.
For by now April had turned into May, the temperature was sweltering, and there was a hot wind blowing across the Meerut parade-ground and barracks that had nothing to do with the weather.
Partly to meet the situation that was approaching, the Ninth Infantry had been sent out from the Atlantic coast to Washington Territory, and upon its arrival at Fort Vancouver encamped in front of the officers 'quarters, on the beautiful parade-ground of that post, and set about preparing for the coming campaign.

Or, Why I think you might want to support Hammer and Forge
Reason #0: For those who have no idea what SoBH is
Song of Blades and Heroes is a small scale skirmish game from Andrea Sfiligoi of Ganesha Games. With simple rules and streamlined play, the game can be learned in one play and enjoyed in many following ones.
The cornerstone of the rules is a character, having two main stats (Quality and Combat) and a number of special rules/traits. Quality of a character represents its willpower, training, attitude and willingness to act. Every time you want the character to act, you have to roll its quality or better on one or more dice - and here comes the beautiful push-your-luck aspect of the rules: Every die that failed to meet the quality means either a possible reaction of opponent's character, or even the end of your turn. This mechanism ensures that you never know how much are you going to achieve with your warband on your turn, and puts you before the choice of playing it safe or -perhaps- achieving more.
There are many expansions and even standalone versions of SoBH, with hundreds of pregenerated characters, but you are free to create your own, using a calculator that can be downloaded from Ganesha Games (or even using a formula, rules' costs, pencil and paper if you're inclined that way).
Reason #1: Advanced Song of Blades and Heroes
These are basically the advanced rules from Fightin' Funghi (reactions! weapon rules! mighty magic!), but without the fluff and few funghi related rules. On the other hand, they include other traits, more rosters and a campaign system probably different from the one in FiFu (with warband advances).
I have backed the Fightin' Funghi, and yet I mean to have these as an add-on.
Reason 2#: The miniaturesDwarves, dwarves and more dwarves! And undead dwarves... And extra cool barbarian dwarves! (These made me back at a level higher than just the pdf of the rules.) And some hobgoblins, too.
Oh, and if your pledge is high enough, you get ... wait for it ... even more dwarves, for free!
So, what are you waiting for?

The benefits of early reading can be great and sometimes cause a little more trouble than expected. For instance, Mark took Margo to Costco to purchase their dinner while I shopped. She read the sign...meaning, "Dad, I want the the hand dripped chocolate ice cream please." Of course she got it, because she read it, and dripped versus dipped was not too far off. Heck I would love a hand dripped chocolate ice cream too...sort of reminds me of my candle making days.
Monday we drove down to Anaheim and the Worldmark Anaheim Hotel, which is about a 20 minute walk from Disneyland. It only took us 7 hours to drive here, and yes we had several stops. Now Margo had no complaints what so ever during this part of the trip. She drew pictures, made grandmanma and grandpapa a card, drew a landscape, played with the etch-o-sketch and even her 'my little ponies'. Not a single whine out of her. An amazing feet for a 5 year old I would say. But then, she really was excited to go to Disneyland.
Back to the fear of early reading....we are staying on the 10th floor. Yes I said 10th floor, and no I did not opt to take the stairs. After our first elevator ride up, little Margo started talking about taking the stairs. What is she thinking? Then she started talking about fire's in the elevator, and how scared she was to ride the elevator, because we are supposed to take the stairs to avoid the fire. Where is she getting all these crazy ideas. Ahh it is that early reading I mentioned earlier. You all know the sign, in case of fire do not take the elevator but use the stairs. She was reading this sign, and decided since it was posted, fires must happen all the time in elevators. Thus her request to take the stairs at this hotel.
Today was our second day at Disneyland, and Margo had passed the test of doing the daring rides, so we brought her to the 'Hollywood Hotel'. I figured she would enjoy the drop zone of the activity. She said she wanted to go, so Mark took her. (I was not taking any ride that was fast, Mark was in charge of those types of adventures.) I sent them up the stairs to the entrance to the Hollywood Hotel, and that was that. I observed the sides of the building opening with screams of riders coming out the building. Oh what fun that drop can be...but wait, what if little Margo undid her seat belt in the midst of the drop. Would she know, not to touch it once it was set. Panic set in, and I ran to the entrance to find out about the safety of this ride. Ok, they assured me she would be fine. I sort of relaxed, and found the exit to the ride was a gift shop on the bottom floor of the ride. I went in, and discovered the experience takes about 25 minutes or so because they meander through the 'scary story of the twilight zone'. I know I screwed up, she will never want to ride an elevator again and I will be stuck walking the 10 flights of stairs with her at the hotel. What was I thinking encouraging her to go on this ride. Heck I saw other little girls younger than Margo go on the ride. But they were not Margo, with her big imagination.
Little Margo exited the gift store telling me, "Mommy, I will never, ever, ever, ever, never ever, ever ride that elevator again!" Then she proceeds to tell me all about the twilight zone, and being taken out of this world into another world...etc...etc...etc... Bottom line it was very scary. Now what do I do? I decide to encourage her to talk about this ride all day long. Yes whenever she brought it up I would listen and hope she would talk the fear of riding the elevator right out of her. We took her on simpler rides, which she enjoyed, and then she would talk about the Hollywood Hotel. Prior to leaving California Adventure, she wanted to go back and take a picture of the Hollywood Hotel, which had been struck by lightening and yes she would tell me the story again. We ended with the soaring above California flight, which she loved. I loved that ride too. And bit by bit, as she talked about the scary elevator ride, we would tell her how brave she was to go on the ride. And then we would tell her our hotel would not be struck by lightening, and that our elevators were not broken or in another world.
Right now, Margo plans on drawing a picture of the very scary Hollywood Hotel elevator ride, to show all her friends, so they will 'Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ride that elevator'. And thank goodness she has been distracted about the fire and elevators, because of the twilight zone, she visited today. Now we don't need to walk up the 10 flights of stairs to our room. At least as long as there is no lightening. If there is lightening, we may have a problem with staying at any hotel with elevators.

Iranian voices: Nuclear sanctions
This week the pressure on Iran has increased with new, stricter, European Union sanctions. Just weeks earlier, US President Barack Obama signed a bill imposing the toughest measures yet in response to the Iranian nuclear programme.
Western powers say the so called "smart sanctions" are designed not to target the civilian population, only the Iranian regime.
So what do ordinary Iranians make of the sanctions and have they been affected by them personally? Here are some comments made by viewers to a call-in show at BBC Persian TV on Wednesday, as well as a selection of feedback from the website.
Yasin from Ahvaz, western Iran (phone-in)
We have had all forms of sanctions during the past 30 years and they have made Iranians more resistant to them.
For example, opposite to what should happen, the stock market indicator in Iran has gone up despite all of the ongoing sanctions.
And Asalooyeh (in Bushehr province) is a big example of the foreign investment in Iran despite of all the ongoing barriers.
Maryam from Iran (email)
Sanctions will only make people more miserable!
Amir Abbas (email)
I think it mainly affects the people, rather than the Iranian government.
When I was in Singapore, as an Iranian, I could not open a bank account, and the bank told me it was due to the sanctions.
When I am in Iran, I have a problem downloading software. I keep receiving the message that downloading this software is not allowed for/in your country.
Nima from Paris (website comment)
These are all due to the fact that the West has got history of animosity against Iran.
Even if we have the most democratic country in the world, the Americans, Israelis and Europeans who have plundered the world would never let us become powerful in the world.
Pouya from Tehran (website comment)
I doubt any of these ongoing sanctions are real. This is just a show. The European countries and even the US, which have been constantly talking about sanctions, in reality they have got business and hidden relationships.
Reza from Arak, central Iran (website comment)
The main effect of the sanctions is that people have start getting worried about what would be the next step. It will make them hesitate to make any investment. This will slow down the whole economy.
Yalda from Tehran (website comment)
If the Western countries are looking for a more effective way, I wonder why they don't apply political sanctions, rather than these economic ones. What sort of sanctions are these? On one hand, there is a sanction against Iran and on the other hand, leaders of the Islamic government constantly travel to other countries without any problem.

Frankel can run for Congress, remain mayor
If Mayor Lois Frankel decides to run for U.S. Congress and fails, she would have a cushy fall-back job – mayor of West Palm.
City and state officials confirmed that Frankel could remain mayor while running for office.
State law bars municipal officers from keeping their positions while running for state office, but there's no such provision for federal office.
On Friday, Frankel said that would play into her decision.
"I have to consider, if I do this, how much time does it take and what does it do in terms of the city?" Frankel said.
The congressional seat currently belongs to Robert Wexler, who is stepping down in January.
A special election will then be held, and the Post's George Bennett has reported that Wexler will be endorsing state senator Ted Deutch.
When asked whether a Wexler endorsement of Deutch would play into her decision, Frankel paused and changed her mind several times.
"Would it play into my decision?," Frankel said. "I guess it'll be a factor, yes it may be a factor. No, I don't think it's going to be a factor for me."
Even if Frankel were to run and lose, her term as mayor ends in March, 2011, although there has been speculation that she or others on her behalf might spearhead a petition drive to do away with term limits.
Frankel said she expects to make a decision on whether to run for Congress in the next week. Stay tuned.

so many primers in the market & it is really hard to choose one, but once you know what
function do you want a primer to do for you, the process will become much easier. Personally, i wanted a primer that helps with distributing my makeup easily, helps with making my makeup stay longer & also reduce the look of my pores. I bought the travel size of the Smashbox Photo finish primer, which looks like this:
The primer is oil free & it spreads on your face easily, in fact you don't feel that you applied anything at all because the product has a transparent silicony texture. Moreover, the best way to get this primer to do what it is supposed to do is by pressing it using your finger tips on the desired area, then wait for a few minutes before applying your foundation. This primer has helped a lot with keeping my makeup in place & also it photographs when you click pictures. The only problem is that it is relatively expensive, and the travel size (which was very small by the way) costed me around AED 60.
After running out of the smashbox primer , i have decided to try another one which is somehow very similar to it, and it is the Nyx Photo loving-primer & it looks like this:
As you can see, the packaging looks very similar to the smashbox primer & i have to admit that the consistency is exactly the same. However, the full size of this one sells at the same price of the travel size of the smash primer (AED60)! Therefore, i would most probably re-purchase the Nyx primer because of the price.
Note: you can purchase both of these primers from Alshop.com

Heat pumps are increasingly being used in residential, commercial and industrial applications. They offer an environmentally friendly source of heat, commonly taken from either air or ground sources, that can be used for heating and water systems.
Most heat pumps need a heat transfer medium, in the same way as used in refrigeration and air conditioning systems, however with different operating parameters (such as temperature). Many of the same gases that are used in refrigeration applications are also suitable for heat pumps.
Linde offers a wide range of gases that are suitable for use with heat pumps including: R134a, R227ea, R236fa, R245fa, R407C, R410A and R744.
