The name 'Splendor' is very familiar in the Indian market. The name is almost synonymous with 'fuel efficiency' in India. The Splendor was initially introduced in the Indian market back in 1994, when Hero MotoCorp and Honda Motorcycle had a joint venture.
The Splendor became an immediate success in the Indian market and over the years, the motorcycle received minor changes to keep the design fresh. Later, in 2011, Hero and Honda parted ways and thus, Hero MotoCorp was established.
Under the new brand name, Hero MotoCorp unveiled 15 upgraded products in 2013, including the Splendor with a unique start stop system called the i3S. The latest Splendor to feature this system is the 110cc variant, which has been developed in-house by Hero. So is it the smartest choice for a commuter out there? Let's find out.
Model Tested: Hero Splendor iSmart 110cc
Price: Rs. 53,300 ex-showroom (Delhi)
Hero Splendor iSmart 110 Design
The Splendor iSmart is designed to appeal to the younger audience, and Hero is in the right direction. The motorcycle features a sleek design, and the graphics complement the design very well. The Splendor iSmart has smooth flowing lines, and at the rear, the split grabrail uplifts the overall design of the vehicle.
Looking at the Splendor iSmart from the side, the plastic cladding below the fuel tank and the engine, along with the exhaust finished in black blend well. The little silver tip at the end of the exhaust goes in very well too.
Hero Splendor iSmart 110 Engine & Performance
Powering the Splendor iSmart 110 is a 109.15cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine. Unlike the other Splendor models, the iSmart 110's engine is mounted vertically, and produces 9.2bhp and 9Nm of peak torque. The engine is BS-IV compliant and comes paired to a 4-speed gearbox with all-up shift (N-1-2-3-4) pattern. Hero MotoCorp claims a mileage efficiency upwards of 68km/l.
Initial and low end performance is good, but feels dead in the midrange. The rider has to work the engine to a higher rpm to squeeze out all the performance. Keeping in mind that the Splendor iSmart is a commuter, the engine does its duty well.
The BS-IV compliant engine helps the Splendor iSmart accelerate from 0 to 60km/h in 7.45 seconds and the major highlight about the engine is Hero's i3S technology (Idle-Stop-Start System).
So What Is The i3S Technology?
The i3S or the Idle-Stop-Start technology is a feature to enhance the mileage of the motorcycle. When the rider shifts the gear into the neutral position, and lets go of the clutch, the engine is killed after 5 seconds. When the rider depresses the clutch again, the engine starts automatically. This feature can be turned on or off using a switch on the right hand side of the switchgear, where an engine kill switch is usually found.
Ride & Handling Of The Splendor iSmart 110
The first thing one would notice about the Splendor iSmart is the smooth engine and the soft gearshifts. The Splendor was always known for it's excellent engine, that has very little, or infact, no vibrations at all at low rpm. When the commuter is being ridden hard to utilise all its power at a higher rpm, vibrations are felt.
The rider is seated upright and the stance is very comfortable, thanks to the soft seat and well setup suspension. Being a commuter, the iSmart is not the ideal motorcycle one would expect to get their knee down around a corner. The Splendor iSmart 110 handles decent around corners and feels very nimble, which is a key character of a commuter. The mirrors offer good visibility too.
Braking felt sharp and the drum brakes were adequate, but disc brakes would have been a welcomed feature.
Features On The Splendor iSmart 110
The Splendor iSmart 110 does not boast anything huge, primarily because it is a commuter and cost is a factor kept in mind. Some highlights are the 18-inch alloy wheels finished in black, wrapped with 80/100 Ceat tyres, telescopic front and dual rear suspension, drum brakes for the front and rear, and a semi digital instrument cluster.
The fuel cap could have been hinged to the motorcycle, since it could fall off while refueling and collect dirt, which would eventually make its way into the engine and cause damage.
Instrumentation & Switchgear On the Splendor iSmart 110
As mentioned above, the Splendor iSmart 110 comes with a semi digital instrument cluster with a large analogue speedometer and a fuel gauge on the left. The digital console is on the right side of the cluster, that displays the odo, trip meter, and the service reminder.
Warning lights are located within the analogue speedometer and displays indicator warning, neutral position of the gearshifter, and the side stand warning lamp, which is a new addition.
In terms of switchgear, Hero has kept it simple. The left side features headlight high and low beam (since we tested the automatic headlight variant), headlight pass switch, indicator, and the horn. The right side mount bears the starter and the i3S switch in blue, which the user can turn off the i3S system. The Splendor does not have an engine kill switch.
Pros & Cons Of The Splendor iSmart 110
+ Smooth engine
+ Smooth gearbox
+ Very appealing design
+ Comfort and handling
+ Easy to read instrument cluster
+ Suspension
– Switchgear quality
– Mid range acceleration
– Lack of disc brake
Coming to the most important bit - is the Splendor iSmart a smart commuter? If you could bear the quality of the switchgear, live with drum brakes, and you are looking for a serious commuter, the iSmart is very well a clever choice. There is a reason why the Splendor is the best selling motorcycle in India, because it ticks every box a commuter should tick.

Take a step back for a moment and you begin to realise that, when you scrape away all the Jinjos, Jiggies, egg cannons and music notes, what you're left with is a game that is constantly aware of itself – that Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts is just a game about another game, and that Banjo and Kazooie are nothing more than pawns inside it. Rare recognises that gamers understand stereotypes and it critiques not only its past games and Rare's other, sometimes less successful releases, but the wider industry itself. Nothing is sacred in the eyes of Rare; everything is free to be teased and brought down a peg or two. Being deeply self-referential almost excuses the game from being directly and unfavourably compared to its predecessors – almost as if the designers knew they were going to cop a lot of flak for some of their decisions. Banjo and Kazooie have very few of their old moves and won't be getting any new ones, for example, and Rare gives gamers a knowing nod with a dismissive, 'but they were outdated anyway' response.
Banjo still develops as a character – by visiting a Gym run by a particular returning character, for instance. The game provides plenty of sideshow attractions too, like a quirky minimalist arcade game, tons of Time Trial events, some hilarious Achievements to unlock, and even a fairly fleshed out multiplayer mode based around King of the Hill-style checkpoint holding and racing. The longevity is here, as is the humour, personality and presentation. The score, by Grant Kirkhope, is every bit as wonderful as past efforts, aided no end by some fantastic orchestrated versions of classic themes from the first two games and new compositions that fit the locations to a tee. But all the while, building and racing is utterly essential – and you'll really need to enjoy these to get the most from the experience.
Under the weight of too many new ideas and directions, Nuts & Bolts ultimately falters. Sometimes a genre is built on certain gameplay elements &#Array; but, more importantly, fans are gathered and kept through a developer knowing when these requisite gameplay ideas are cherished and essential, and when they are not. By removing Kazooie's trademark moves and shoehorning in her wrench-operation, for instance, she loses all value as a character. She's just Banjo's third (albeit talkative) prehensile arm.
There is a massive counter-argument to all of this, and that is, the future of gaming is what Rare (and other equally talented developers) choose to make it. By pushing no boundaries, nothing changes, nothing is gained and nobody ultimately benefits when people get bored and switch off. But the reverse is also true &#Array; if you push the envelope too far or in the wrong direction, people are just as likely to feel alienated and reject a game. It's a tricky balancing act &#Array; and we still completely applaud Rare. Everything works, as mentioned, and that really counts. The game is thoughtful in design, mostly clever in its handling of pacing, upgrading parts and keeping you on track as you work your way towards the final encounter. But it's just not as fun or interesting as it should be. Rare carefully assembled a whole lot of disparate parts and pulled it together under an immaculate bonnet and a glossy paintjob, but a few loose screws just keep on rattling away, always threatening to shake it to pieces.

So I was gonna try to do 3 for each season but I got to Season 4 and realized this was getting a lot harder so I think this will be the last one. Sorry. It was fun while it lasted. Also I might try to take a break from Lostpedia until the premiere so as not to accidentally get spoiled by some jerk on the blogs. Anyways...

Rethinking Impact and Our Low-Carbon Future with Christiana Figueres
With dramatic climate events frequently making headlines and better-than-expected progress arising from the COP21 Paris agreement last December, nearly 200 guests from across Asia gathered in Hong Kong to explore ways to help the world transition to a more sustainable and low-carbon footing.
Click on the image below to hear Christiana Figueres.
Entrepreneurs, family business owners, students and game changers listened on as Lombard Odier Group Senior Managing Partner Patrick Odier and Lombard Odier Group Head of Asia Vincent Duhamel outlined our Group's longstanding link with sustainability as an independent wealth manager that has evolved constantly to survive over 40 crises and 220 years.
The mantra of this "maison" to constantly rethink the status quo was reflected in opening remarks by keynote speaker Christiana Figueres, the former head of the UN Climate Convention who stepped down in July after leading global efforts to agree on a regulatory framework to combat climate change.
"It is really quite heartening to see that an institution as old, as wise and as young as Lombard Odier continues to rethink the impact it is having because the impact needs to be rethought and rethought and rethought every time," said Figueres.
Following her speech on the path to a low-carbon future, a senior Hong Kong political figure addressed the audience on local initiatives aimed at addressing the impacts of global warming.
Two lively panels ensued during the Post-COP21 Rendez-vous afternoon forum attended by guests from Japan, the Philippines, Thailand, Singapore and Europe.
Leading sustainability professionals representing major companies anchored in Hong Kong and environmental bodies discussed ways in which they are pursuing low-carbon strategies alongside a social start-up that is tackling climate change and food security issues.
Lombard Odier Asset Management (Switzerland) SA Head of Impact Investing, Bertrand Gacon, showcased our expertise in the climate bond arena during a discussion on green finance, joined by the founders of a leading wealth manager and Europe-Asia family office.
The umbrella Rethinking Impact event extended into the evening, when Michelin-star chef Paulo Airaudo from Geneva and award-winning Hong Kong-based chef Agustin Balbi staged a stunning "duet" dinner focused on sustainable food sources at the Ocean restaurant by the sea.
On the second day, our clients joined a morning of discussion on efforts to ensure the sustainability of our seas, moderated by a UN climate hero, as well as approaches by companies to park funds in low-carbon and green investments.
In a panel featuring heavyweights from the investment world Lombard Odier Asset Management (Switzerland) SA Head of Socially Responsible Investing Robert de Guigné highlighted innovative new tools developed in-house to track the carbon and energy transmission footprints of client investments.
The event drew widespread praise from participants for opening their eyes to the progress and remaining challenges associated with global efforts to realise ambitions to limit global warming and to make the world more sustainable.

Re: Law Suit for Human Scale Access.
Expand Messages
- Jason,
Are buses dangerous? No. Are cars dangerous? No. Are drivers
dangerous? A big yes. It's how people use objects, offensively
obviously are dangerous. Get the notion that objects are dangerous
out of your minds. Objects are inert, actionless until a person
activates it. A gun is only dangerous if a person uses it offensively
and not defensively. A cell phone, as I noted early, is dangerous
only if a persons misuses it while driving. By the way, it is same
for a pedestrian or cyclist who misuses a cell phone!
Regarding the human rights thing: It might be a valid argument only
if the pedestrians and persons with disabilities can't cross a street
because of unsafe drivers who don't respect the bylaws and laws. This
needs to be explored further.

borrowed from the National Rifle association. Half a ton of metal at 30 pmh
is dangerous, i don't care how good the driver is. Cyclists kill people in
small numbers from direct impact. A legal argument that singles out cars is
not going to stand *legally*.

respecting other laws. I don't think it has any chance legally of making a
case. You might as well sue the council for permitting burglary. You would
have to show that cars were a special case, where the use of car made it
almost impossible to avoid breakign limits, jumping signs, etc. And this
insane 'turn right on red' law has legalised some of the worst abuses.
Does the US have a 'human rights' law as does Europe now?
>A gun is only dangerous if a person uses it offensively and notshooting someone before they shoot you is *dangerous* whether they were
going to shoot you or not. Whether it is justified is a completely
different matter.
- I certainly like your thought process, however I'm not familiar with
cases where someone successfully sued based on violation of "human
rights". A case could be made if there were violation of
constitutional rights, but I doubt you could get anywhere on a claim
centering on human rights. Either way, I'm not aware of any
obligation the government has to ensure mobility. I believe you'd
have to find something where the government is liable, such as a
poorly designed or maintained road. Even if you did win a case on
violation of human or constitutional rights, I'm not sure you'd be
happy with the settlement you suggested, at least not immediately.
If you removed all the cars from a modern US city, you'd still have a
city with poor access for most walkers and cyclists simply because
zoning laws keep everything so spread out. Given the expense you
mentioned in your suggested settlement, it's quite possible a local
government may eventually change zoning laws, however since zoning
laws seem to be a root cause I suggest a lawsuit should target them
Zoning laws are published by the local government and directly
influence the way a city or town is organized. If the city's
organization can be proven to harm a non-motorist and the city can be
proven liable based on the zoning laws, then I believe someone who
chooses not to or cannot drive has a chance of winning a case. It
may be hard for someone who chooses not to drive to get started, just
as it may be hard for someone who cannot drive as a result of their
own misconduct, i.e. from losing their license from a DUI or
wreckless driving. However, someone who has been denied a license
because of mental or physical disability would stand a better
chance. From my perspective, the American with Disabilities Act is
applicable because it requires builders to ensure access a design
feature, and may well be suited to forcing a local government to
ensure access through both design and organization. I suspect when a
government sits down to zone a given area the planners are working
from some frame of reference, such as permissible travel time between
residential and shopping zones. If that travel time is calculated
based on walking speeds, then our case is weak. However, since I
suspect it's assumed we're all drivers, the travel distance is based
on vehicle speeds, meaning the zones are separated by greater
distance, requiring excessive time for walkers. Further, since it's
assumed we're all drivers, facilities such as sidewalks and paths are
excluded meaning walkers have no place to walk when traveling between
zones. It's possible the government could be held liable for this
type of poor and unfair access for non-motorists.
I believe it's important to know what type of settlement you want,
such as monetary, change in laws, change in service or facilities. I
think the best case would be a change or rescission of zoning laws.
Any of the other types of settlements may force a government to
change the laws themselves, but in the end what you really want is a
city layout that provides for non-motorists first, and motorists
last, with bicycles and public transportation falling somewhere in
the middle. If zoning laws were defeated, we could build cities and
towns completely mixed use, such as the example of central Austin and
the center of many other cities, which would enable non-motorists
city-wide to have access to all the services and facilities required
for modern life. If however, you can't win a change in zoning laws,
other settlements could be beneficial. Following are a couple of
A settlement guaranteeing equal but separate facilities for non-
motorists, such as sidewalks or paths along every road would be
extremely expensive and eventually force a government to either build
less roads or organize the city to where the roads are shorter. The
fact is non-motorists do not have equal access to US roads.
Motorists are entitled access the full length of the road, non-
motorists are only entitled the shoulder or the narrow strip crossing
the road at the cross-walks. A pedestrian simply can't walk down the
middle of the road, taking up an entire lane. If you tried and
survived, you'd surely run into problems with the first police
officer you happened across. This theory has been proven
by "critical mass", a movement where cyclists fill entire lanes,
slowing and jamming traffic. Many of them have received tickets, had
bikes impounded or been jailed. As a side note, equal but separate
was struck down in another great cause, the civil rights movement
against US segregation. Winning such a settlement could prove the
zoning laws a violation and set a government up to later have "equal
but separate" proven a violation against non-motorists.
Another possible settlement might be a speed limit within the city to
reduce the danger automobiles present to non-motorists. There's an
interesting statistic that 80 percent of pedestrians struck by car
going 20 mph will survive, while 80 percent of pedestrians struck by
an automobile going 40 mph will die. Although a 20 percent chance of
death for walking is still a lot, traffic moving at 20 mph is
dramatically less dangerous than traffic moving at 40 mph. A
settlement with a 20 mph speed limit for all city streets would be a
major win, and would yield many more benefits than just reducing
pedestrian fatalities. It would also make the city much quieter,
less polluted and with far greater travel times might encourage
denser development, all of which would significantly improve
conditions for walkers. There is a precedence for dramatically
slower speeds in a modern, developed nation. The national speed
limit in Japan is a mere 30 mph, on all rural and urban roads except
toll roads. Although speed limits are poorly enforced, traffic does
move much slower than in the US. The roads are also built at a much
smaller scale since they aren't designed to handle high speed
traffic, making them much more pleasant for cycling.

One of the worst hindrances to losing weight is taking in empty calories through drinking. Most alcoholic drinks consist of hundreds of calories per drink, and typically you consume more than one at a time. If you can cut out alcoholic beverages from your diet you an undoubtedly going to lose a good amount of weight.
Remove all alcoholic beverages from your diet. If you drink one beer a night on average which consists of 150 calories, you are going to be cutting out 1050 calories a week, which after three months you'd actually lose 4 pounds just by doing so.
Drink water instead of the alcoholic drinks. Replacing alcohol with soda or juice isn't going to help you lose weight as these drinks still consist of large amounts of calories.
Sip on a diet soft drink, tonic or even cranberry juice when you are out with friends and you don't want to just drink water. This is often the toughest part about abandoning alcohol as often times you congregate with friends over a drink.

Thank you for the reply, but I am not as technically knowledgeable as you, so I really do not know what the words "previously cross-process, unallocated swap-backed heap" mean. I was under the impression that the MAP_ANON feature of mmap is just like opening an mmap with an fd that points to /dev/zero. So, in other words, any memory that you reference using the pointer that mmap returns to you will be initialized to zeros. Is that true of the pointer returned by apr_mmap_create under Windows? From what I could see, APR uses the Windows APIs CreateFileMapping and MapViewOfFile to emulate the mmap function and I don't believe those APIs support the zeroing of the memory they obtain, but I'm not really sure of that, which is why I am asking the question.

We, the Sparky Army, decree 2008 to be the Year of the Spark. We pledge to post a new sparky story or chapter of a sparky story every day from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008. Though the Powers that Be have removed Elizabeth Weir from the regular cast of Stargate Atlantis, we feel that she remains an integral part of the show, and that the relationship between her and John Sheppard is too obvious to be ignored. We hope that you, and anyone who might happen to read these works, agree.
And if that isn't official enough for you, we don't know what is. Seriously, guys, we're just trying to have some fun--and show TPTB that Sparky is the way to go. So sit back and enjoy the 366 stories coming your way!
A/n: This story came from me having a dream about SGA main characters in a band. And I needed to add some sparky so this is how this came about. Also this is AU except for they are in Atlantis, based in season 4, Elizabeth is still in Atlantis. The friendships and relationships are different in the show but not in this ficcy. Also, I know that Ronan and Teyla wouldn't really know a lot of earth type music but in this they do. Because if I owned stargate Atlantis they would know! The songs in it are
I'm yours – Jason Mraz
And We Danced - The hooters
Love Shack – b52's
Everlasting Love – The Love Affair.
I'm yours
By atlantisbabe34
The mess hall had been cleared of all the tables and chairs to make room for the population of Atlantis. Tables along the walls were covered with platters of fruit, savouries, and drinks, mostly alcoholic. It was close to 8:30 at night when the puddle jumpers containing the Atlantis population had landed back in the city, and the party continued. To much dismay from the majority of the population Major Evan Lorne had installed a karaoke machine in the mess half for the event. Wanting to be the first one to try out his great success Lorne made his way up onto the stage next to the couples table.
"Hey, everyone! Shhhhh!" Lorne said as the crowd turned to face the stage, some still talking loudly.
"Before I break this thing out, my job as 3rd best man of this wedding party, was to make a very short, but very great message about the success, love, and happiness that you are going to face in your new married life, and yada, yada, yada. But seriously guys, everyone who's here today, wouldn't be hear today if it wasn't for you guys. Yes that includes you General O'Neill." The crowd laughed and Jack pouted.
"For the record Lorne, they wouldn't be here if it wasn't for me, am I right Carter?" Jack asked the woman beside him.
"Sure, Jack" Sam said. "Ignore him Evan, continue your speech."
"Anyway, as John's 3rd best man and in all seriousness. To the best two leaders that Atlantis has ever had. John and Elizabeth Sheppard" Lorne raised his glass with the crowd and they replied with a "hear! Hear!"
"Now that all those formalities and such are done. I'll be breaking this out. Anyone care to come up and try their luck at a little karaoke?" Lorne said waving the microphone to the crowd.
"No one? That's ok because I'm game" Lorne grinned and John groaned. Lorne sat down on the chair and pressed a few buttons on the karaoke machine before a tune was played. John recognised it instantly.
"Come Elizabeth lets dance. Trust me Lorne's not that bad of a singer" He winked and took her hand, and led her to the dance floor.
She was a be-bop baby on a hard day's night
she was hangin' on Johnny, he was holdin' on tight
I could feel her coming from a mile away
there was no use talking, there was nothing to say
when the band began to play and play
Soon other couples began to join them on the dance floor. As John swayed Elizabeth to the fast beat, he looked around the room. Rodney and Katie were laughing and dancing together. Ronan had invited a rather shy Jennifer for a dance, Teyla was dancing with a group of Marines and a few other women and Sam and Jack were dancing together. Elizabeth's laughter broke John's pattern, as he looked back down at Elizabeth and kissed her. They continued dancing together to the fast beat as John span her out and back into his arms, grinning at her laughter.
By the time the song was finished the tables alone the walls were replaced with steaming hot and cold food. Music such as The Beach Boys, Johnny Cash, The Beatles and many more filled the mess hall above the noise of the crowd. John and Elizabeth had spent the entire time of dinner feeding each other food and sharing tender kisses.
After dinner was consumed and generous amounts of alcohol, Ronan and Teyla made their way up onto the stage. They whispered to each other and pointed at the computer listing the songs. Ronan shrugged and Teyla laughed. She pressed the play button on the machine and the familiar notes of Love Shack filled the mess hall. People made their way drunkenly to the dance floor and began to dance to the beat. Teyla picked up the microphone and handed it to Ronan who began to sing. They danced on stage to the beat while singing, the crowd on the dance floor started to move with the beat. John danced with Elizabeth before Jack stole her away from him and he danced with Sam.
Love Shack, that's where it's at!
Huggin' and a kissin', dancin' and a lovin',
wearin' next to nothing
Cause it's hot as an oven
The whole shack shimmies!
The whole shack shimmies when everybody's
Movin' around and around and around and around!
Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby!
Folks linin' up outside just to get down
everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby
Funky little shack! Funk-y little shack!
When the song ended the crowed cheered and clapped and Ronan and Teyla bowed. Ronan took the microphone and announced that it was time. Elizabeth looked over at John and he smiled and nodded to Rodney and Lorne. They made their way up onto the stage with Jack following. Teyla walked over to Elizabeth.
"What's going on?" She asked
"No idea. Looks like they have been planning this for a while though." Elizabeth answered. The crowd was silent as Lorne connected one more microphone to the machine. The boys stood on stage supporting each other as they swayed slightly with drunkenness. Jack looked around and frowned.
"Well... talk amongst yourselves!" Jack yelled with a slight slur.
"Ok ready boys?!" Lorne asked grinning, a microphone in one hand and a beer in the other, before pressing the play button on the machine.
The tune started and the ladies were horrified. Jennifer and Katie looked at each other in shock before lowering their heads in embarrassment. Teyla slowly sank into the vacant seat beside her, her mouth open in shock. Elizabeth and Sam glanced at each other before bursting out in laughter at the song choice. Then John started to sing.
Hearts gone astray, leaving hurt when they go
I went away, just when you, you need me so.
You won't regret, I come back beggin' you
won't you forget, welcome love we once knew.
John then passed the microphone to Rodney who sang next.
Open up your eyes then you realize
here I stand with my everlasting love
Need you by my side, girl to be my bride
you'll never be denied, everlasting love
from the very start, open up your heart
be a lasting part of everlasting love
They kept passing the microphones between each other before signing the final verse together. Once the song was finished they struggled to bow, but managed to hold it together. Ronan, Lorne and Jack walked off the stage leaving John and Rodney. Rodney took the microphone and spoke.
"The evening is coming to a close. And behalf of the bride and groom, I'd like to thank everyone who made this possible for John and Elizabeth. Thanks to the people who cooked especially, you didn't put lemon in the chicken so for that I thank n you immensely. We - well not we its just John and his Guitar but this will be the closing song for the reception. Again thank you everyone." People clapped as Rodney gave the microphone to John and whispered "Good Luck." John replied with a "Thanks."
John picked up his guitar and moved the stool forward to in front of the Karaoke machine so everyone could see him.
"Well, as Rodney said this is the last song Elizabeth and I have time for, because we have to leave soon, But thanks everyone for coming and everyone who made this possible. Now there's a bit of a story behind what I'm going to do here. When Elizabeth and I first came to Atlantis four years ago I regretted not bringing my guitar as my personal item, when I found out that my dear Elizabeth loves music, acoustic music especially. So when the Daedulus first came and brought back for personal items for out staff, The first thing I requested was my guitar. Ever since then I've been teaching Elizabeth how to play. So I'm going to play the first song that Elizabeth mastered a few weeks ago. Its called I'm Yours. Elizabeth this is for you."
John began to strum the melody to the song and sang.
Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
and now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
Nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon its again my turn to win some or learn some
I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours
Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love
Listen to the music of the moment people dance and sing
were just one big family
and it's our God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love love
So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours
Do –do –do –do –do–bah do do-do-be-do you want to come on over
Scooch on over dear, and I will nibble your ear.
Soo, da-ba-da-ba-do-bo, whoa, whoa, whoa, oa,oah, ha ha
I guess what I'm saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtueI won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours
I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and laughed
Well no no, well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
Listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
ah, la one big family
It's your God-forsaken right to be loved love love love
I won't hesitate no more
Oh no more no more no more
It's your God-forsaken right to be loved, I'm sure
Theres no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours
No I won't hesitate no more, no more
This cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours, I'm yours
John strummed the last note and looked at Elizabeth. Tears of happiness were streaming down her face. John got up off the stool, walked off the stage and walked over to where she was and kissed her soundly. John handed his guitar off to Ronan who was beside Elizabeth and lifted her into the air while hugging her. They didn't even realised someone had yelled out.
"To the happy Couple!" a loud cheer was heard and John set Elizabeth back on her feet and took her hand.
"See you all in two weeks!" John said smiling as he turned and walked hand in hand with Elizabeth out the Mess door and down to the stargate for their next adventure to begin.
A/n: ok so not as good as I wanted it to be but its last minute. The next time I'm scheduled to write I think I will do a "sequel" to this one with John and Elizabeth on their honeymoon.

It isn't unusual for me to go two, sometimes three days without watering my lawn. And although I would like a lush green blanket of grass rolled out in front of my door, I'm apparently not willing to do the things necessary to make that happen. Alas, the old adage holds true: You reap what you sow.
Sooner or later, what you send out to the world will find its way back to you, whether it's lawn care or any other aspect of life.
So when the Dez Bryant/Roy Williams/rookie-carry-my-pads flap broke out and those connected to the game began to comment on Bryant's supposed transgression, I couldn't help but think of that same principle: You reap what you sow. My colleague Tim Keown pointed out earlier this week, for example, that Bryant's stand as a rookie this year will make it difficult for him to expect his own pads to be carried next season and beyond, when he's a veteran.
But there's a different way to look at it, too. Why should established players expect a rookie to pay respect to the veterans when the NFL's current players aren't doing the same for their elders, the ones who helped build the league? I'm not talking about carrying some old, funky shoulder pads. I'm talking about looking after the men on whose backs the league currently rests. In March, the NFL and NFLPA got into another public spat about retired players' benefits. This time, they were bickering over which side is really sincere about improving the pension plan and health care as the new CBA is being discussed.
Football is the only major professional sport in which severe injuries are routine, in which paralysis is a possible outcome and death a looming threat. The fraternity of football players knows and accepts the risks on a level that only another member of the fraternity can fully appreciate. The men who played this game 20, 30, 40 years ago did so without the benefits science provides today, such as understanding of the long-term impact of concussions. We sometimes hear stories about former players who've fallen on hard times -- destitute, homeless -- and their problems don't always stem from mismanagement of funds. Sometimes, it's the byproduct of a life handcuffed by mental illness that we are just now beginning to acknowledge could be connected to repeated blows to the head from playing football.
Obviously, there is a physical price to pay for play, too. The recent passing of Jack Tatum, and his connection to Darryl Stingley, are reminders of the game's dangers.
Spinal injuries.
Joint replacement.
The men who helped build this game did so before the league began enjoying the windfall of its billion-dollar broadcasting deals. Some are unable to work another job because of football and are dependent on their fraternity brothers for survival. So when I hear about the NFLPA being sued by former players for cutting them out of the millions that came from their gaming relationship with EA Sports, I just get so disappointed.
The NFLPA can't control what the league does. The owners are going to try to hold on to as much money as they possibly can. To me, getting them to contribute more to the pension fund and to the health care of retired athletes is a separate issue.
But the current players, the fraternity brothers, the men who understand the risks their forefathers took to get the game to this point, should not need a judge to tell them to share the spoils. They should want to pay respect to the veterans who came before them. They should want to carry their pads.
I understand the concern from some that retired players' claims might be a bottomless pit. I mean, how long do you keep opening your checkbook to help someone who might never be satisfied? But I do not believe the NFLPA is anywhere near answering that question; and in fact, in many ways, the players' association has been just as tight-fisted with its financial assistance to the old guard as it is accusing the owners of being with the union.
The difference is that the owners and their representation were never part of the fraternity of players. They don't fully appreciate what it takes to be part of that group. The NFLPA doesn't have that excuse. It should feel morally obligated to take care of its own.
Bryant said he didn't know about tradition in the Cowboys camp. Could it be that he's the harvest brought forth from years of sowing self-interest?

IPB's Diploma Program of Agriculture will be opened Lingga Regency
Bogor Agricultural University (IPB) will develop a Study Program outside Campus, that is, Diploma Program One (D1) of Agriculture in Lingga Regency, Riau Islands. This ideas came up in the discussion of the action plan between IPB and Lingga Regency, in Darmaga Campus of IPB, Bogor, on Thursday (8/3). Present in the discussion were Director of IPB Diploma Program, Dr. Bagus P. Purwanto and Head of the Education Office of Lingga Regency, Kasiman.
IPB Diploma Program Director welcomed the desire of Lingga Regency to open Diploma One (D1), which focuses on the study of agriculture (especially rice fields). He informed that Lingga Regency should immediately prepare the related aspects of the D1 Program, including at 35 students, an educational space, i.e. a vocational high school, teachers who are ready to be tutors in agriculture, and agricultural facilities.
For financing, tuition fee per month is IDR1 million or IDR 12 million per year. This can be financed by the local government or a sponsor. "If all of these are ready, IPB will soon come to officially launch and start mentoring," said Dr. Bagus.
He added that D1 graduates can master the theoretical foundation and measurable skills. Another advantage for D1graduates is the certainty of employment, certified, gaining work experience, and the opportunity of getting scholarships. Lingga Regency will also get benefit, among others, employees suited to the needs in terms of agriculture, a reduced cost of the job training, an increased motivation and loyalty of work, qualifications suited to the needs, and increased agricultural productivity.
Head of the Education Office of Lingga said that the Regency is ready to meet all of the requirements of D1 Program offered by IPB. "The students are already prepared to account for about a hundred people or three classes, agricultural land in the form of paddy field of about 200 hectares is available, there are 100 units of tractors for plowing, and there are three vocational high school of agriculture, including assistant teachers of agriculture," he told.
According to Kasiman, cooperation with IPB is to generate enthusiasm and give the motivation to be ready to build Lingga Regency as a leader. One way is to open a D1 program, with the hope that D1graduates will increase growth in the agricultural sector, especially rice in Lingga regency.
Present in this discussion were among others, Vice Dean of Resources, Cooperation and Development of Faculty of Agricultural Technology of IPB Prof. Dr. Slamet Budijanto; a lecturer of the Department of Agronomy and Horticulture of IPB, Dr. Suwarto; and from Lingga Regency Sri Rejeki of Planning, Research and Development Board of Lingga Regency.

Drainage contributions are the costs we recover from developers to fund drainage scheme infrastructure and stormwater quality treatment works. These costs are then reimbursed to the developers that construct the scheme works.
Contributions are based on the area developed and the development type. For example, industrial development pays a higher rate than low-density residential development.
