– Works with OE top mounts
– Non Coilover kits have only 1 spring option for rear axle
– Droplinks needed
AST 1-Way 5100 – BMW 1 series ‐ E8X
Call for Price
– Works with OE top mounts
Product Description
The 5100 Series shock absorbers utilise inverted / upside down technology. The inverted design is race proven technology and produces an extremley strong damper, providing better suspension geometry under heavy lateral and braking loads as seen in a road and track environment.
The 5100 Series shock absorbers give your car a better performance than the standard twin tube design. With the 5100 Series suspension you can adjust rebound with one knob. The adjust platform allows you to adjust the ride height of your car. AST suspension shock bodies are specially designed to keep maximum stroke, even with a lower ride height.
How a Monotube design works?
Monotube design essential for performance, The oil and nitrogen are separated by a floating piston, and allows the use of a larger piston, increasing the damper performance and sensativity felt by the driver, all this added together produces more grip, gives more control and driver feedback from your vehicle.
What is a rebound adjustment?
Rebound controls the rate of extension of your shock absorber, By changing the rebound you can directly change the charecteristics of the vehicle.
- Floating piston design with high pressure nitrogen means no cavitation around the piston.
- 14mm diameter internal shaft.
- 44.5 mm diameter shaft struts, inverted.
- Steel cylinder body shocks, inverted.
- High end, track ready suspension.
- Rebound adjustable ("Singles").
- Low friction seal.
- Adjuster knobs permanently mounted on the dampers.
- Rubber bushings for "eye" shock mounts.
- Optional spherical top mounts.
- Optional DLC Coated shafts.
- Optional DDP piston (double digressive).
- Rebuildable.
- Optional custom valving.

How to wrap ferrules – Step 11
The need to wrap ferrules is a debate among rod builders. Most rods graphite fly rod blanks have a an integrated ferrule and you won't need to attach the plated ferrules you'll see on many older spinning rods.
Knowing most fly rod blank manufactures have already integrated a reinforced the ferrule wrapping is still recommended. Wrapping will protect the female section from damage and wear.
I have added an extra thread tensioner to the end of my wrapping stand.
Speaking about tension you'll want to have a little extra tension on the thread when wrapping the ferrule. Not a lot an extra .1 lbs is plenty.
How long should the ferrule wrap be? Because you're protecting the very edge of the blank, I wrap the same distance as your guide wraps. To me staying with a consistent length makes the most sense and looks nice.
Wrap the ferrule the same way as you would a guide. I like to start the wrap away from the ferrule edge and work my way to the edge.
Wrap the ferrule are the as you did for the guides. Pull the tag end under wrap to finish the wrap as shown below.
Wrap the blank just like Wrapping The Fly Rod Guides in step 8. The ferrule area should look like the below picture.
Finish the wraps like shown in steps shown in Finishing the Fly Rod.

My period came today thus dashing my hopes of actually making it through Ramadhan period-free. It's kinda weird actually why it came now since my last cycle came right before puasa start. Anyways this isn't something I should talk about in public. Hehe!
But period pain is a bitch. I haven't had cramps for a while now and when it comes it attacks with a vengeance. Me groaning and moaning in a fetal position is not a pretty sight to see. Even now even with the pain less intense as before it's still uncomfortable and there's nothing you can do to actually ease it. Unless you knock yourself out with a painkiller and all is well. However I'm not one of those people who like to indulge in painkillers. I believe pain makes a person tougher. So as long as I can still bear it I'll lay off the painkiller.
Guys seem to love to make fun of girls whenever girls have cramps. That is a mystery that'll stay unsolved. I remember once a few guy friends of mine were making fun of me while I was having cramps while waiting for the next class. They were just not convinced that cramps can be that painful. Seriously it's one thing to make fun of girls when they're okay but it's another when they're having cramps. All I said was "Why don't you go take a garden fork, skewer it in your groin and turn it 360degrees for a full 24 hours. Then tell me whether it's that painful or not." Raging hormones and girl power shut them up instantly. I guess I kinda made my point.
Ever watched the movie 'The Astronaut's Wife' where the astronaut's body (Johnny Depp) was taken over by an alien and it wanted to do was reproduce so that it can take over the world. The wife (Charlize Theron) soon became suspicious but in the end she was the one taken over by the alien. Quite a cool movie and Johnny Depp *sigh* is as delicious as always. Anyways there was a scene in that movie where the wife had a dream that she saw her baby holding up her bloody uterus, a signal that something was wrong with her baby. That is exactly how I feel when I get cramps. I feel like ripping my uterus out so that I won't feel the pain.
I'm just glad that tomorrow (hopefully) all of this will be over. And also while everyone is holding themselves back from eating and drinking I'll be free to eat and drink whenever I like. Muahahah! But nah… I'll follow along. It won't be fair on my sisters. Perhaps a drink or two is okay :P

Entrepreneurs come to Cardiff and Vale College
Local entrepreneurs have come to Cardiff and Vale College to give talks aimed at inspiring CAVC students to forge their own futures by setting up in business.
Georgina Jones, founder of Sing and Inspire, came and spoke to Business students about motivating themselves to establish their own enterprises. Sing and Inspire is a company that tours workplaces encouraging staff to form choirs – with improved business results. She has since gone on to create Turn Lights On, an organisation designed to improve people's engagement with each other in order to boost productivity.
"It's incredibly important for us to come in to Colleges to give talks and hold sessions such as this," Georgina said. "I think sometimes the media doesn't really represent what entrepreneurship actually is or what being a business owner is like – it can be so negative.
"It's important for young people to know that there are entrepreneurs on their doorstep who are doing what they love. I am a big believer in people doing what they love."
David Williams also have a talk to CAVC Business students. David went from being made redundant to setting up a niche company supplying the Ministry of Defence which now employs up to 25 people.
The talks had been organised through Big Ideas Wales, a Welsh Government initiative to encourage young people to take the step of setting up their own businesses.

I have a setup where when I press left or right trigger, it shifts to profile 1 (left) and 2 (right) which have lower sensitivity on the right stick for aiming and hip firing a weapon in Destiny 2.
This works perfectly, however when I make a macro on the left bumper of double click to run, pause melee, while this macro works, the shifting to the lower sensitivity doesn't seem to work.
The macro seems to make a virtual controller, and the shifting for lower sensitivity isn't applied. I have tested this in the windows game controller testing.
e.g. when I don't have the macro/virtual controller, pulling the trigger reduces the input from the right stick, but on virtual controller, pulling the trigger makes no change to the right stick sensitivity.
I really need this to work, can you help?

The following genealogy is taken from a text within the O Clery Book of Genealogies [1] a genealogical collection compiled in the seventeenth century. The names of most of those appearing in the terminal generations have been omitted for reasons of clarity. The numbers in square brackets are the paragraph numbers in the published edition. Names have been standardised.
An Oifistel |_______________________________________________________________________________________________ | | | Felim Giolla bui Donncha |___________________________________________ | | | | | | Cumhai Ruairi Felim Niall | | | | Felim Domhnall find Aedh Glasne An Airchinnech | | | |______________________________ |____________________________ | | | | | | | | | Risdeard Brian dubh Maghnus bui Niall carrach Torlach Brian Eoghan |_______ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Felim Brian Domhnall Padraig Seamus Domhnall 2 sons Conor | | | | |______________ | [333] | | | | | | | | | Ruairi Emann Brian carrach Torlach Donncha garbh Sean caoch Maghnus 1 son | | | | | | | [335] 2 sons 2 sons 1 son 1 son 2 sons Conor Ruairi [327] [329] [328] [331] [330] An Brathair | + 4 sons 1 son [332] [334]
Note that An Oifistel is an individual described as holding the office of an oifistel ('the official') whose personal name has not survived. The official was a person appointed to the ecclesiastical office of vicar-general in temporals who as principal judicial and administrative officer of the bishop presided at the ecclesiastical consistory court. To the extent that the standard generation length of thirty three years from the death of Domhnall of Cameirge places An Oifistel alive circa 1440 it would appear that his advancement may have been due to the influence of Domhnall MacLochlainn who (as given elsewhere) was a canon in the chapter of Derry cathedral in 1397 and who held the rectory of Moville as prebend until his death 1397x1412. His great-grandson Felim is described as holding the office of an airchinnech ('the superior'/anglicised spelling 'erenagh') and so it seems that his descendants continued to pursue opportunities within the Church administration. Erenaghs were relics of the old ecclesiastical order being superiors of defunct ecclesiastical communities whose lands had transferred to episcopal control following the reforming synods of the twelfth century. The office survived in titular form attached to a chief tenancy in these episcopal lands held by right of descent within a family and the holders of the office retained a sense of being ecclesiastics in minor orders, an obligation to provide hospitality to travellers and a fluency in Latin [2]. An English survey of 1607 preliminary to the disposession of the Catholic dioceses of western Ulster records a Cornelius and a Donatus MacLochlainn as erenaghs of lands in Grallagh to the east of Trawbreaga bay on the north coast of Inishowen [3]. These can readily be identified as latinisations of the names of two people appearing in the genealogy, being Conor described as an brathair ('the brother') together with his uncle Donncha garbh. At an English inquisition held in Lifford in 1609 this branch of the family were referred to as the Clanloughlangrillies [4] which would appear to be an anglicisation of Clann Lochlainn Grealligh ('MacLochlainn family of Grallagh') in which the placename element greallach ('marsh') is declined into genitive form. From a review of the archaeological remains in the area it would seem that this family occupied a church site at Templemoyle equidistant between the modern towns of Culdaff and Malin at which there are remains of a small D-shaped structure resembling a fort [5]. The same inquisition records a Maghnus MacLochlainn as erenagh of lands in Moville and he can readily be identified in the genealogy as Maghnus of paragraph 334. A MacLochlainn was also erenagh of lands in Derry. At an English inquisition held in Derry in 1609 it was stated that [6]:
within the said iland of Derry there were twoe herenaghes belonginge to the late abbot of Collumkill, the one called Loughlina, within the dioces of Derry, and thother called Oderry, within the dioces of Rapoe
Loughlina is clearly an anglicisation of Lochlannach ('a MacLochlainn') and having already identified the MacLochlainn erenagh family of Grallagh and the MacLochlainn erenagh family of Moville as falling within the sub-branch descending from Domhnall find it follows that the MacLochlainn erenagh family of Derry falls within the sub-branch descending from Felim, the only person actually described in the genealogy as holding the office of erenagh. The inquisition proceeds to give a couple of clues as to the extent of the MacLochlainn erenagh lands in Derry:
the said lord busshop of Derry is, and his predecessors have, tyme out of mynde, bene possessed of one orchard or parke, lyinge on the east syde of the great forte in the said iland of Derrye, payinge thereout yerely unto the erenagh Laghlina, ten white groats per annum
the grounde and land whereon the old castle called O'Donnels castle was built, within the lower forte of the citie of Derry, was formerly bought by O'Donnel of the erenagh Laghlinaghe as beinge pcell of his herenagh land
In maps of the seventeenth century a castle occupied the site of the present Tower Museum so it would appear that the MacLochlainn erenagh held the northern part of the island of Derry and with it the churchlands extending across what are now the northern suburbs of the city. Unfortunately, a troubled history has ensured that no medieval structures survive in Derry and so we cannot identify this family with any particular site.

1. provided without, or not subject to, a charge or payment
As I mentioned in an earlier post, My Own Financial Crisis, I thought I would compile a list of FREE things to do in Ottawa. It looks like this is going to be an ongoing list as I am sure there are many more free things to do in Capital City then I have listed here.
So without further ado here is some free stuff to do this winter:
1) Skate The Rideau Canal Skateway
You know where it is. It's the longest skateway in the World right? Something like that anyway...
2) Drink A Lil' Vino
On January 23rd from 4 pm to 7 pm you can sample some wine at the LCBO located at 275 Rideau Street *hic
3) Improve Your Speaking Skills
Tuesday January 27th, 6:30 pm to 8:30 you can attend the Ottawa Toastmasters open house. You don't have to participate, it's free, and hey they serve refreshments.
4) Conquer Your Clutter
Join Professional Organizer, Angela Irvine for an informative workshop on the organizing basics. I'm already a bit OCD when it comes to organizing, so I'll probably skip this one.
5) Learn About Torture
No really, torture, right here in Ottawa, and it's free! Octopus Books presents three perspectives on torture in our time.
6) Flip Through Some Photos
What's Right With This Picture, is a cross-country photo exhibit to help launch International Development Week. It's free and they will give you refreshments and snacks, woo-hoo!
7) Get 420'd
Join Marc-Boris St-Maurice, Executive Director of NORML Canada (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) and Octopus Books for the National Resolution for the Legalization of Marijuana. It's free, and you know they are going to have to have snacks, so get there early.
8) Adopt A Puppy
Looks like my semi-impulsive plan to get a dog just might come to fruition. Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind needs some help from the public. It seems they have a whole bunch of new puppies on their hands and don't know what to do with them. They are seeking foster families for the future guide dogs. There are a couple of stipulations:
- you must be home most of the day
- you must have a fenced yard or relief area
- you need access to a vehicle for veterinary appointments and training sessions
- and well, you have to give the dog back in 12-18 months
Don't worry it still does qualify for the Free Things To Do In Ottawa This Winter post, as all the food and veterinary expenses are paid for. The next Information Session is on Friday, February 6, 2009.
9) Check out some of the sites at Winterlude
I've been in Capital City for about five years now and I have never done Winterlude. I think this year will be different... as long as it really is free of course, the whole broke thing you know.
10) Take a tour of one of the Capital's many museums or galleries:
The National Gallery of Canada
Free admission Thursdays after 5 pm
The Ottawa Art Gallery
I'm not 100% sure, but I think it is free, and they have many workshops too
Bank Of Canada Currency Museum
Admission is always free. Open Tuesday to Saturday 10:30 am to 5 pm and Sunday 1 pm to 5 pm
Canada Agriculture Museum
Admission to the Animal Barns is free daily from 9 am to 5 pm
Canadian Museum of Civilization
Free general Museum admission on Thursdays after 4 pm
Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography
Free admission on Thursdays after 5 pm
Canadian Museum of Nature
Admission is free on Saturday mornings from 9 am to 12 pm
Canadian War Museum
Free admission on Thursdays after 4 pm
Canada Aviation Museum
Admission is free daily from 4 pm to 5 pm
Library and Archives Canada
From what I understand it is always free, but who knows what they will actually let you look at.
Well that's it for now, if you Dear Reader (if anyone actually reads this) have any suggestions, feel free to leave a comment and I'll periodically update this list.

It finally happened. After a big run-up over the last 7 days for the FNMA 3.5 bond, the benchmark shifted to the FNMA 3.0 (for conventional loans). With some weaker-than-expected data this morning, the new benchmark bond is up strong in early morning trading. It is currently 11 basis points of its high and is currently 7 basis points below the 2nd level of resistance (102.50) at 102.43 but is still up 36 basis points on the morning. The RSI (Relative Strength Indicator) is now showing that the bond is overbought and with another big move up today, my guess is that traders / investors are going to be looking for any hint of economic news that surprises to the good side to take some profits off the table - and they may not wait for that.
The FNMA 3.00 is up 198 basis points since it's opening price on Christmas eve - that's about .5% in rate (theoretically) which is HUGE. As to what's driving it this morning, the ISM non-manufacturing index came in much weaker than expected (58.5) at 56.2 vs. last month's reading of 59.3. Any reading over 50 is still expansionary and means the economy is growing. Factory Orders also disappointed with a reading of -.7 which was below expectations of -.4 and identical to last month's reading. Here's this morning's chart:
Where do we go from here? That's always anybody's guess. Statistics show that the first two trading days in January are the best indicator for what the stock market will do the rest of the year. When the market has closed higher after the first two days of the year it has finished the year up 95% of the time with an average gain of 10+%. When it's lower after the first two trading days, as in this case, it has only finished the year up 51% of the time with an average gain of under 3%. Many analysts and experts are calling for a 10-15% correction sometime this year while some are forecasting a bear market. Some say that certain indicators show it has either just begun or will soon. What this means for the bond market is potentially higher prices and even lower rates since most investors will park the money they had in equities in the safe haven of bonds. This is all very fluid and speculative so it's very important to keep a sharp eye on the charts. Rates are fantastic right now and whether you locked yesterday or waited till today or will wait until tomorrow, you are going to have an excellent rate.
Economic Calendar: On the docket for tomorrow we have the ADP Private Payroll Change with expectations of 225 vs. previous of 208. The Trade Balance numbers are expected to come in at -41.8 vs. previous of -43.4. Finally at around 11:00 tomorrow morning we will get the FOMC minutes from last month's meeting. Thursday and Friday have some big data points so look for the updated schedule tomorrow. A last look at the benchmark bond before I sign off shows it at 102.35, up 28 basis points and 19 basis points off its high. Please feel free to contact me if I can help you in any way with a mortgage - 702-812-1214. I'd also love to get your thoughts in the comments section. Please like, share and subscribe and like The Wunderli Team facebook page so that you don't miss out on any intraday updates as well as updates regarding new mortgage programs and other related news. Make today GREAT!!

Children frequently have difficulty talking about what is bothering them or talking about events that have occurred in their lives. Sometimes they just don't want to talk about their thoughts and feelings. Other times they have not yet developed the vocabulary or cognitive skills they need to be able to do so. Sometimes they just don't want to talk about their thoughts and feelings out of discomfort and it is possible that sometimes they are just teenagers.
Counseling sessions with children and teens are confidential just like those with adults. We keep the specifics of what a child says and what they may do in the sessions private to build trust in the relationship between the child or teen and their therapist. We will talk to parents about therapy, but this will be done in a generalized format including themes of their play and areas of clinical focus. Specifics on what your child said or did will be kept confidential. We will encourage children and teens to include their parents or caregivers when appropriate or invite parents to sit in on the therapy session should that benefit your child. You may choose to schedule an appointment with your therapist at any time to talk about your child by phone or email. Our standard procedure is to meet with parents approximately every 5th-6th session to consult on your child's progress.
Our approach to counseling children and adolescents is to use a prescriptive method of play therapy (using the best fitting evidenced based practice that meets the unique needs of your child through a child's natural language of play). What we mean by that is we don't believe all children can fit into a one-size-fits-all model or approach to therapy. We have received training and have studied a variety of theoretical approaches or methods to help individuals so that we can tailor our approach to your child's unique abilities and/or specific needs. Play therapy involves using toys, sand, art, crafts, games, and other materials to help children express themselves. Play offers the child an environment of safety. If children are able to say what they think or how they feel through toys, art and other media with someone who can translate their behavior and facilitate the process, they will respond positively and are able to successfully work through their presenting problems, symptoms or issues. Play therapy may be short-term and at other times, it may be more long-term. Regardless of the time frame, it is important that a child be given the opportunity to complete the play therapy process once they have begun. A child's symptoms may get worse before they get better. When a child begins to identify and address his or her concerns, he or she will need to complete the process in order for it to have lasting effects.
We often utilize play based or prop based approaches within our work as we incorporate other therapies into practice. You can expect the use of art, sandtray miniatures, puppets and other playful mediums to be utilized as we work with children to process difficult emotions and/or experiences from their history.
Teens also respond well to art-based or 'playful' techniques in counseling and therapy. The approach is disarming and creates security and comfort during expression of the issues they are struggling with. Many teens we have worked with report that they enjoy the creativity of therapy using art, music and/or play for self-expression, thus gaining a deeper sense of themselves and how to move forward in life.
When preparing your young child for coming to see us in therapy, the best thing is to tell them that they are coming to a place that has toys and a counselor they can talk to when they are ready. If your child wants to know why he or she is coming to see us, you can say something like "It seems like things have been really hard for you at home (or school, etc.) and sometimes it helps to have a special time for yourself with a special person to talk to." –or- "We found a special person for you to talk to about what has happened. She talks to lots of kids who have had things like this happen to them." For older children, you can let them know that they will be talking with a counselor as well as engaging in art or game activities. With older children, it also helps if you stress that you are willing to get involved in counseling to change things for the family in general.
Remember, since children may play with sand or paint, they should wear comfortable play clothes, rather than "good" clothes. The play process is sometimes messy! We promise if your child comes to our office wearing a shirt that has seen better days we will not be judging your laundry skills. We will be pleased to know that we won't be sending them away with a stain on their brand new shirt.
A typical counseling session will last 45-60 minutes. If you need to speak to your therapist it is best to make a separate appointment. You are also always welcome to email or call us with concerns or questions. Depending upon your concern or request your therapist may suggest that you schedule a parent consultation appointment to ensure they have time to properly talk about your questions or thoughts.
Thank you! We look forward with working with you and your child!

Expressive Therapies: Understanding Play Therapy as a Therapeutic Model
Michelle M. Pliske, MSW LCSW RPT-S
Every child is different, therefore unique treatment plans are created based upon their symptomatology and life stressors. Our prescriptive and eclectic theoretical focus combines expressive therapies, particularly play therapy, with cognitive behavioral work, narrative work, trauma theory and skills training. Children may be seen individually or with family systems to achieve treatment goals.
It is important to understand therapeutic approaches that use creativity, self-expression and imagination. Children express themselves, their needs, experiences with trauma, and their histories through play; thus children best communicate through play, art and music. Children often find themselves 'at a loss for words' either due to not having the language for self-expression or due to a lack of contextual understanding to be able talk about what is going on or what has happened in their lives. This is where play therapy is beneficial:
Play therapy provides the opportunity for expression in the language of artistic play and is witnessed and supported by someone who is trained to understand the expression. Play therapy also acts to soothe the child's physiology; through play based approaches and psychoeducation the therapist can give children a venue to better understand how their bodies react to stress. The play therapist serves as a translator for caregivers. The child is provided with a variety of play and art therapy materials to "talk" about what have been going on physically and/or emotionally. The therapist's role is to translate the child's expression and then to communicate with caregivers, schools and/or the community the essence of what the child is conveying without compromising the child's right to confidentiality and privacy.
Play therapy is often divided into two basic types: nondirective and directive. Nondirective play therapy is a non-intrusive, client centered method in which children are encouraged to work toward their own solutions to problems through play. It is typically classified as a psychodynamic therapy. In contrast, directive play therapy is a method that includes more structure and guidance by the therapist as children work through emotional and behavioral difficulties through play. It often contains a behavioral component and the process includes more prompting by the therapist. Directive play therapy is more likely to be classified as a type of cognitive behavioral therapy. Both nondirective play therapy and directive play therapy have their place in the therapeutic process. The trained therapist works with the child to determine which approach would best suit the child's needs during the session and/or process.
Many of the Firefly play therapists have additional training and certification in Synergetic Play Therapy. This highly specialized form of play therapy utilizes interpersonal neurobiology with play therapy practice and therapist authenticity for creating integration within the mind and body, addressing complex issues and perceived challenges or negative experiences.
Older 'tweens' and adolescents can greatly benefit from expressive therapies for communication as it is an alternative or creative means for self-expression from traditional 'talk therapy'. Art, dance, music and sandtray therapy are all utilized successfully in the treatment of adolescents. These expressive forms of communication often open the gateway for digging deeper into issues and helping tweens and teens gain insight into their worldview and perspective.
Firefly Counseling Services, P.C. provides an eclectic or prescriptive approach to expressive therapies. This means a variety of techniques can be utilized depending upon the child or adolescent's individualized treatment plan. The overall goal of therapy is to continually hold a light of hope for children and adolescents as they navigate through their history, thus creating a bright future.

Here's Proof That Pharrell's Biggest Songs Start The Exact Same Way
Ever wondered how Pharrell manages to drum up so many chart topping hits? Well, someone may have found out his secret formula. There's a common thread with the intros of some of his mammoth works like "Milkshake," "Drop It Like It's Hot," "Blurred Lines," "Happy" and more: a four-count loop of the first beat.
The blog Discopop did us all a favor and compiled a convincing mix of 13 different song intros that have that same loop. Listen to it for yourself and check out the list of songs below.
01. SWV – "Right Here (Human Nature Remix)"
02. Pharrell – "Frontin'"
03. Kelis – "Milkshake"
04. Snoop Dogg – "Drop It Like It's Hot"
05. Robin Thicke – "Blurred Lines"
06. Shakira – "Why Wait"
07. Frank Ocean – "Sweet Life"
08. Pharrell – "Brand New"
09. Paloma Faith – "Can't Rely On You"
10. Pharrell – "Happy"
11. Pharrell – "Hunter"
12. Jay-Z – "I Know"
13. Pharrell – "Gust of Wind"

Author's Note
I'm trying to do something a little different this year. For those of you who don't know, unless it's a week inspired by a holiday, or memorable occasion, our word of the week is picked by opening up a dictionary to a random location, waving a finger about without looking at the page and pointing it to a word, i.e. it's chance. So, this year, rather than standalone drabbles, I am going to try writing a coherent story, Flight of Fire, in 100 word episodes, each one inspired by the word of the week. I have a vague outline for characters and direction of Flight of Fire, but specifics will be decided by the word of the week.
"You and Benedict are…" Stephan didn't know the word for what he sensed.
'United,' the answer flooded him.
Stephan's heart sank a little. He was an interloper. He turned. Yet, a wing blocked his way. He looked back.
Foxed by his own instincts, Stephan sat.

Author's Note
I did it again, I'm sorry, have a flash fiction of 500 words instead of a drabble :).
It was as if the gods were laughing at him, taunting him for his origins; plucked from the gutter, a sneak thief and now a damned fox.
He had been so embarrassed he had left the ceremony before any of the noble-borns could get a jibe in. When he had had hopes of becoming a knight defender he had been able to put up with the jokes, the sneers at his illiteracy. He had worked hard over the last two years learning everything from reading to combat, but no one was going to want a fox in their regiment.
"Kris," he heard Regina, one of his few friends, call. "Kris, you have to come out, the Prince has returned."
"Go away."
"Look I know this is a shock, but a mate like that; I thought you'd jump at the chance even though he's male."
"What?" he asked and stuck his head out of his hiding place. "Someone else is a fox too?"
That was another thing that had stung; he had had no mate. All Changers paired up and with their own kind.
"Oh my god, you don't know," Regina said.
"Know that I'm a complete embarrassment?" he shot back, he was in no mood for teasing. "At least I'm not alone."
"Oh, Kris," Regina said and sat down next to him, "that's why you ran away."
"My ignorance showing."
"Kris, you're not an embarrassment, if anything everyone finally understands why Xan ordered you dragged here kicking and screaming that day."
"I thought I was going to be executed or something," he said, cheeks colouring with the memory. "Noble-borns don't look at street kids unless they want to beat them or bed them."
Regina had the decency to look embarrassed for her whole caste at that home-truth.
"Anyway, not the point," she said. "You are a fox and there is only one other fox in the kingdom and he's been waiting for another for ten years."
Kris almost groaned again, he was going to be someone's younger sidekick, but at least he was not alone.
"Who?" he demanded.
"I already told you," Regina said.
"No, you said the Prince has returned, not..." he trailed off. "No..."
"But he is the most respected commander in ten generations."
Kris didn't get it.
"Because he's cunning and incredibly quick in battle," Regina told him. "Why do you think he has the fox on his standard?"
Kris hadn't remembered that.
"But foxes are so much smaller."
"Size isn't everything," Regina said. "Foxes are only seen twice in a generation and make the greatest leaders."
"And no one thought to mention this, ever?"
"It's something everyone knows."
Kris glared.
"Oh god he's going to be so disappointed," he said as his insecurities reared again.
Regina smacked him on the back of the head for that one.

What is Warrior Spotlight?
Warrior Spotlight is a website that offers students as well as the community a little closer look at the athletic realm of Kamehameha Schools Maui (KSM). It highlights different athletes by means of "player profiling", a quick overview of an athletes athletic and academic contribution to the school and their community. Warrior Spotlight also promotes the use of photography in order to achieve the story trying to be told about KSM athletics. Non-athletes now have a place to go to see what may be going on in athletics, and see how photography is used to capture the story of a sport.
"Warrior Spotlight gives students a chance to promote athletics at Kamehameha Schools Maui while implementing photographic and journalistic skills. Throughout this website, you will find photos taken by myself, as well as information regarding different athletes who participate in various sports here on campus. This website serves as a foundation in which students here at Kamehameha Schools Maui can utilize in order to promote skills gained in photography and journalism. It gives the students a voice and an outlet to promote their work."

Our Recent Project
Selling and Buying a house was a very stressful job.
Especially with personal circumstances, Muhammad Haroon was very professional, sincere and straight forward. I was comfortable with the marketing strategy and his trust we have sold and moved to a new home.
I was very pleased in getting quick feedback after showings the open houses. Haroon was patient with all my questions and took the time to ensure I understood the process. He was able to accommodate my needs with signing documents without having to compromise my work schedule.
I would highly recommend Haroon to my friends and family.

Use Pregnancy Supplement On Your Path To Being Parent
Most people know that it's very important for you to be healthy and eating right and getting all the nutrients that you need is the best way to do this, but what most people don't know is that sometimes you can't help but need a supplement to help you get these nutrients.
Health Central
This also means that if there is a problem with something such as infertility most people don't think that lack of nutrients is a problem. But in fact this could be a problem and something that taking a pregnancy supplement could help a lot with.
Some of the most common pregnancy supplements that people take to help make sure that their bodies are in the best shape to conceive are some of the ones that most people take to stay healthy.
Folic acid is a good place to start, is a supplement that is needed to any woman that is trying to get pregnant. It's a great way to make sure that the unborn child doesn't end up with spina-bifida, a problem that can develop during the development process.
Vitamin B6 is also a pregnancy supplement that can help in the act of trying to get pregnant. This helps to increase a person's overall healthy and stress. This is why this can help a woman to conceive. These are two things that can play a big role in why a person might not be able to get pregnant. A person won't be able to conceive if they aren't healthy enough to carry a baby.
Health Care
Zinc is something that in men and women can lead to infertility. Also, if a woman has a low zinc level and they are able to get pregnant they are much more likely to miscarry that those that have the correct levels. Zinc is also found in high concentrations in sperm. That's why it doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman if you are having problems conceiving it's a good idea to get your zinc levels checked.
Other popular things that are used as pregnancy supplements are vitamin B12, essential fatty acids, vitamin c, and vitamin e. These all have different ways that they can help the health of a woman and her potential baby. Many women just need the extra supplements to help them get pregnant and them they will be able to conceive and carry a baby full term.
If you are having trouble getting pregnant, then before you start taking any pregnancy supplement it's a good idea to check with your doctor just in case they have a recommendation or something that they would stay away from. They also might be able to do some tests to see what levels you are low on and tell you what you need to take.

Men imagine that they communicate their virtue or vice by their actions and do not see that virtue or vice emit a breath every moment.
Hi all my dear friends, today you´ll be able to discover what happend when all of us thought...
Are you ready? Let´s start.
All of us thought that those heavy threatening clouds which had been shadowing our clear horizon disappeared forever, but we were quite mistaken.
Though apparently my inner wounds were cured, I still was homesick for my family, my friends, my nest.
Homesickness... a kind of depression that is caused by absence from home and everything that supplied me energy and vitality. It´s aterrible thing to bear .
Nostalgia often distorts the real world we live in to such an extent that we don´t live-simply exist like flowers or trees.
The same happened to me, my dear friends.There were moments I preferred daydreaming to an active style of life, because only dreaming and sleeping emigrants can meet their families, enjoy their company, feel they are not alone being abroad.
Despite my problem, I had to advance - the sooner the better .
We were trying to cheer up one another giving love, support and understanding .
The latter was the essential ingredient of our future hapiness.
Without that element no family of emigrants can survive living abroad without any of their relatives.
Moving forward, making progress we adapted ourselves to Spanish culture, customs, people-
in short to our new life.
Among Spanish people we met a family of my husband´s friend.Those people were so generous and hospitable that made us feel for the first time like at home, more protected.
They are REALLY great people , who I am grateful to and will be for the rest of my life.
Those people stayed by my side when the most terrible thing happend to me.
I had to face a rather painful period in my life.
As you know, we had only one daughter, so we were anxious to have a boy.
The desire was very strong and we were full of hope believing that everything would work out very well for us.

Books — Sneaking Into the Flying Circus
Sneaking Into the Flying Circus: How the Media Turn Our Presidential Campaigns into Freak Shows, By Alexandra Pelosi, Free Press, 2005, 299 pages.
By Amy Diaz email@example.com
Ohmygod, running for president is, like, so totally whack.
There are all these, like, stupid reporters and stuff and they ask totally lame questions and they're all grumpy and all "talk to the hand" when it comes to issues people, you know, really care about and junk. And these poor candidates, some of whom are totally cool and let me ride on their planes, get less respect than junior varsity cheerleaders. But, don't worry, I can totally give you all the inside dirt 'cuz my mom's, like, a totally important Democratic congresswoman and I'm way smart about politics. Also, I like flirtinis and I make funny comments about people's shoes so this won't be all boring like some PBS documentary because ew, who wants that. Anyway, I'll write more soon. Stay sweet! Love, Alexandra!
Actually, I kid poor Alexandra Pelosi. She's just a girl trying to get by in the very-short-shelf-life world of American politics books. At least 90 percent of the sort of pop-poli-sci books that look at the last election or the most recent candidates are utterly worthless and uninteresting in about six months. (Where as, say, chick lit takes a good year or so to burn itself out.) And if you aren't going to get anywhere picking on the candidates — who, in a book about 2004, are dead and gone anyway — might as well pick on the media, which is more or less the same from one election to the next. (Well, actually that's not true, but Pelosi's version of the media will at least be the same from 2004 to 2008 and that's all that matters for the point of a book tour and future book and documentary deals.)
So, in 2003 and 2004, Pelosi saddled up and took to the campaign trail again (she's been there before for her documentary Journeys with George about the 2000 election), this time covering the spectacle as much as the race for a documentary and for the book Sneaking Into the Flying Circus. The result is a long, boring diary of a very teenage-sounding girl who talks as much about her boyfriend and trivialities such as Janet Reno's shoes as she does about "the issues," whatever the hell those are (and by talking about "the issues," Pelosi mostly just whines about how they're not being covered but seldom troubles herself with what those issues may be).
Pelosi's thesis, assuming she has one and knows what it is, has something to do with the way that "the Media" is ruining politics by making campaigns less about the real abilities of the candidates and the issues that will actually face the next president. Except that, in her examples of "the Media," we almost always get 24-hour cable news and the editorial page of the New York Times. This is not "the Media"— this is at best a handful of really loud guys with really big microphones. Every different medium for disseminating the news — daily newspaper, weekly newspapers, alternative newspapers, magazines, broadcast network news, cable news, AM talk radio, NPR, websites, blogs — covers a campaign differently. There are limitations and benefits to every format, there are major variations in the amount of time and money different parts of the media can spend on one story, one issue. Different advertising bases, different viewers and readers and listeners. The Media is only just the cable news guys if the cable news guys are the only things you watch. Get a job, a healthy commute and a house with at least three rooms and your ability to give them mind-warping attention is severely limited.
Pelosi herself is more "the Media" than she is the plucky outsider attempting to expose it. She has access via her mother's name and her "sources" such as they are tend to be the people who stumble across her path: fellow travelers on the bus, the candidates, her waitresses. She is as insulated as it gets and so narrow in her focus that she begins to deconstruct her own argument (if the candidates are all phonies, why give them more time; if "the Media" are too jaded, too prone to over kill, why ask them to produce more content?).
And then there's this self-loathing, navel gazing, ultimately-cable-news-appealing-to argument that Pelosi makes about the unstatesmenlike nature of the campaign. Pelosi seems to lament the silliness and humiliation that marks every step of a candidate's progress toward the presidency. But what, if not debate and scrutiny, does she suggest? The silliness and humiliation of a national campaign frequently mark the one time in a candidate's life when he is humbled, when he is forced to at least pretend to care about swathes of people he has never seen before, will never see again and who will likely not vote for him. These fawned over, bubble-protected senators and governors and lesser elected creatures do not need a campaign that respects them more. Better a guy should crack under the pressure of too many TV cameras in his face on the campaign trail than under the pressure of Chinese invasion of Taiwan or North Korean strikes on South Korea once in office. The Media does not have a formula for picking out the presidential from the merely congressional but at the very least it weeds out the unhinged and the weenie-like.
How do you prepare a guy for being president? For Sept. 11? For sudden recession? For unexpected consequences of previous administration's mistakes? Perhaps in the next election Pelosi will find the answer. What do you want to bet it involves martinis and shoes?

Stella Tan – Converse Style
Date: November 7, 2014
Her own creations are simple and uncomplicated, influenced by Stella's personal style.
I like my outfits plain, too much or too little makes me uncomfortable so I go for functional and minimalist wear." she said.
Adding a touch of elegance to her outfits are carefully handmade and curated jewellery pieces, and for a bit of edginess Stella completes it with a good pair of all-black Converse Chuck Taylors.

News Corp, the international media conglomerate spearheaded by Rupert Murdoch, is hiving off its STAR China's TV business to China Media Capital (CMC). In an announcement News Corp mentions of signing an agreement with CMC wherein latter will acquire controlling stake in News Corporation's Xing Kong, Xing Kong International, Channel [V] Mainland China along with its Fortune Star Chinese movie library.
CMC is China's first private equity fund with a focus on investment in the media industry. The company was formed in 2009 and is backed by China's second leading media firm Shanghai Media Group. The agreement with News Corporation represents CMC's first investment project.
Xing Kong and Xing Kong International are general entertainment channels while Channel [V] Mainland Channel is a popular music brand among the youth audiences. The Fortune Star Chinese movie library has a total of 757 Chinese-language titles, a number of which have worldwide perpetual rights. The content reaches Chinese communities across the globe.
James Murdoch, Chairman and Chief Executive, Europe and Asia, News Corporation, said, "The agreement with CMC recognises the value we have created in Star China and enables us to continue to grow it for the future."
The move is indicative of News Corp's gradual movement out of China. During all these years the company has come across several complications in operating in the China's tightly controlled media environment. In 2009 News Corp shifted its scaled down its operations in Hong Kong and shifted focus on operations in the Indian region. The move was seen to be in similar direction at that time.
Other terms of deal and financials were not disclosed.

Dragon Ball Z wrapped some years ago, but the franchise's creator isn't done with its story just yet. Earlier today, Akira Toriyama's designs for a brand-new Android went live, and the anime fandom is freaking out over Dr. Gero's latest creation.
With Dragon Ball FighterZ entering its beta trials, the video game revealed a new Android which will be housed in its story mode. The game went to Toriyama to get the vixen approved, and anime fans are loving the mostly canon character.
There is very little known about Android 21 at this time, but fans do know what the character looks like. The girl has curly auburn hair that falls to her mid-back, and Android 21 also wearing a retro-styled dress with tights. The new Android joins Android 18 as one of Dragon Ball's few female cyborgs, and the Internet cannot stop raving about this girl's potential.
Ladies & Gentlemen.
Android 21.
Your exclusive FighterZ character. pic.twitter.com/tCdlYQAR1F
— Geekdom101 (@EmperorBigD) September 16, 2017
After all, V-Jump Magazine did describe Android 21 as being as intelligent as Dr. Gero. If the vixen is that smart, she may prove to be one formidable force for better or worse.
If you are not familiar with the Androids of Dragon Ball Z, then you have a bit to catch up on. The character served as the main antagonists for the 'Android' Saga which eventually spawned the super-villain Cell. A mad scientist known as Dr. Gero created the Androids in the hope of creating perfect warriors who could defeat Goku. However, the artificial humans eventually rebelled against their creator, leaving the Androids vulnerable to Cell when the ultimate fighter came to feed off their energy.
As you can see below, the reception to Android 21 has been overwhelmingly positive. There's no indicator of how the character will fit into Dragon Ball FighterZ, but fans agree Android 21 will probably have something to do with the return of Android 16. The former character is one Dragon Ball Z fans will remember from the anime, but Cell wound up brutally killing Android 16 before Gohan during a tough battle.

"Android 21" in #DragonballFighterZbeta is a cutie….

When it comes to new Dragon Ball characters, the Internet is quick to get on its fan-art game. And, if that fighter happens to be a girl, then you can expect new works in about five minutes top.

A new leader gave 3-month CD rates a slight boost this month.
E-LOAN (www.eloan.com) came out of nowhere with an offering of 0.65% APY.
While that rate really isn't anything to jump up and down about, we're jumping and down. After all, an increased rate is an increased rate, right?
Especially when there's been so little movement to celebrate on the CD Rates Leaderboard.
A subsidiary of Banco Popular North America, E-LOAN requires a $10,000 minimum deposit.
Former leader Virtual Bank (www.virtualbank.com) continues to pay 0.60% APY. The online division of Sabadell United Bank, based in Miami, requires a $10,000 minimum deposit.
Rates head south after that.
EverBank (www.everbank.com), a predominantly online bank based in Jacksonville, Fla., pays 0.53% APY and requires a $1,500 minimum deposit.
Just two banks pay 0.50% APY:
Hudson City Savings Bank (www.hcsbonline.com), which has 130 branches in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut, and requires a $500 minimum deposit for anyone living in that tri-state area but a $5,000 minimum deposit for everyone else.
KeySource Commercial Bank (www.keysourcebank.com), which has a single branch in Durham, N.C., and requires a $100 minimum deposit for CDs purchased in person, over the phone or through the mail, and a $5,000 minimum deposit if purchased online.
The average annual yield offered by large banks and thrifts for 3-month CDs is currently 0.16%.
Banks qualify for our rankings by imposing no restrictions on who can buy their certificates of deposit, either online or through the mail.
Compare these returns with the best CD rates from scores of banks in our extensive database.

Had Barbara Walters put her infamous question "What kind of tree are you, if you think you are a tree?" to British actress Jenny Seagrove instead of Katharine Hepburn, she might have elicited a heartfelt reply. Sea-grove, who portrays Camilla, the tree-worshiping nanny from Hell in The Guardian, William Fried-kin's first horror flick since The Exorcist (1973), has given a lot of thought to flora and fauna. "Being an avid gardener, I was perfectly cast," says Seagrove, who has the dirt under her fingernails to prove it. "I've always been funny about plants and trees. I'll often just go and hug a tree. I'm sure they can feel us."
Or consume us, as Friedkin would have it. Seagrove's character—at first meeting, every yuppie's child-care dream—is a misguided Druid who plans to serve up her employer's infant as a sacrificial offering to a burly oak. "This is an unusual horror film," Seagrove rather unnecessarily points out adding." "It's a wonderful part. I get to play everything from Miss Nice to Miss Deeply Unpleasant to Miss Evil Supernatural."
Seagrove's ability to change like the seasons led Friedkin to cast her. "I was looking for an unquantifiable woman, one who would embody stark reality and otherworldliness," he says. The director remembered Seagrove as the web-toed, seagoing scientist in Bill Forsyth's quirky 1983 film Local Hero: "She has a mystical quality that's hard to explain."
Maybe it's the way Seagrove, 31, traps people in her unwavering gaze. Or her direct way of answering questions about her sometimes hellish past. The drama in her own life—prolonged bouts of anorexia and bulimia and a messy divorce from a Svengali-like husband—has often eclipsed her acting career. Now, with a healthy romance with director Michael (Death Wish) Winner, 54, and a starring role in a major film, she hopes to restore the balance.
Seagrove's childhood, though privileged, had its frightful moments. Born in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Derek, who ran an import-export firm, and his proper post-colonial British wife, Pauline, Seagrove spent her early days in the kind of luxury a house full of servants can provide. But wealth couldn't cushion her from a brutal blow: When Jenny was less than a year old. Pauline suffered a stroke and was unable to care for her. This early hardship, Seagrove believes, created in her "a constant cry for attention."
At age 9, Seagrove was shipped off to St. Hilary's, a girls' boarding school in Godalming, England. A gawky adolescent—"I had short hair, thick glasses because I'm very shortsighted and was a little chunky"—she often took the male leads in school plays. Convinced she wanted to be an actress, Jenny still honored her mother's wish and spent 1975 at Mrs. Russell's Three Star School of Cookery in London.
But at Mrs. Russell's, Seagrove burned more than her share of crumpets, and her lack of interest in culinary pursuits soon led to acting classes. Determined to be independent, she refused her parents' offers of financial aid. Instead, she says, she went on the dole—about $25 per week in welfare payments. To save money, she cut back on food. "I was quite happy not to eat, because it meant I could lose weight." she says. "Then, of course, I got terrific attention like, 'Jenny, you must eat.' So I quite enjoyed that as well."
By the next year, the 5'6″ Seagrove had shed 30 of her 120 pounds and had developed a full-fledged eating disorder. The anorexia continued for the three years she attended Bristol's prestigious Old Vic Theatre School, where she often found it hard to focus on her studies. "It eats your mind," she says of the disease. "It's very hard to concentrate because all you're thinking about is food."
Not even love could break the compulsion. After leaving school, Seagrove met Indian-born Madhav Sharma, a little-known actor-director. When their courtship evolved to include romantic dinners, she adopted bulimia as a weight control method. "It's very hard when you are having a relationship not to eat," she says. "So I did—then I'd run to the toilet and get rid of it all."
Seagrove says she gradually realized she was damaging her health. "I could feel myself tearing my stomach, and I kind of pulled out of it," she says. "It was a very slow process." As her body filled out, though, so did her career, with roles on British television followed by a part in A Shocking Accident, which won a 1982 Oscar for Best Short Film.
Her personal life was less easily healed. Sharma and Seagrove married in 1984, but, she says, the union was filled with tension from the start. As Seagrove became more successful, Sharma became more possessive, even to the point of following her to wherever she was working. "He needed the applause [for] having created me, when in fact he was destroying me," she says. Sharma, 46, who still lives in the couple's former home in Suffolk, refuses to comment, says his agent.
When Seagrove filed for divorce in 1986, Sharma tried to block it in the courts. In his ruling granting the divorce, England's High Court Judge Clive Callman said: "I find as a fact, to fulfill his own needs [Sharma] literally sapped his wife's self-confidence and self-esteem. He, with an extraordinary, almost hypnotic power, was a Svengali to Jenny Seagrove. Unable to star in his own right, his wife became his crutch."
The marital war left Seagrove in the middle of what she now calls "a great cloud of sadness.' " Nonetheless, in 1987, when she showed up to audition for Winner's film Appointment with Death, her allure cut through the mist. "I rang her agent and said. 'I have a firm offer for Miss Seagrove…. I wish to marry her.' " Winner says. Seagrove eventually won the role as well as his heart. After filming ended, she took a small apartment around the corner from Winner's 40-room house in Kensington and began spending most of her time with him. Before her divorce from Sharma became final in 1988, he called her repeatedly, Winner recalls. "It was unbelievably harrowing."
While Winner has cast Seagrove in three of his movies, including last year's A Chorus of Disapproval, he insists he has no interest in controlling her career. The couple—despite his early, impulsive reaction—also have no plans to marry. And children, says Seagrove, aren't in the picture. "I don't have to mention marriage or children to Michael," says Seagrove, laughing. "As soon as I say I'm cooking dinner, he runs out of the house."

Research & Analysis Bureau - Montana Department of Labor & Industry
Most people know that the CPI, or Consumer Price Index, measures changes in the cost of goods and services in the US. It is the go-to number for tracking inflation in the economy. But it is far from the sole measure of changing costs in the US.
A while back, this blog detailed the Employment Cost Index, which measures the costs of employees to employers over time.
But what is the Producer Price Index, and how does it differ from the other two? Our friends at the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) have put together a short introductory video explaining the nuts and bolts of the PPI:
In short, the PPI tracks changes in the price of inputs for producers, and can be a leading indicator of whether consumers will pay more or less. But that's not the whole story. The PPI is actually a "family" of over 10,000 indexes, which fall under 3 index types: Industry indexes, Commodity indexes, and Final demand-intermediate demand (FD-ID) indexes. For a more in-depth explanation of the many indexes that make up the PPI, take a look at this BLS blog post.

Public Knowledge argues that the planned joint research project could be the first step toward a cartel of the major video, Internet and wireless providers.
The public interest group already has access to confidential information that Verizon and the cable companies submitted to the FCC for its investigation. But in Wednesday's filing, Public Knowledge argued that the companies should publicly reveal some of those documents.
The group said the public should have access to the "basic governance structure" of the joint research project.
"The governance structure of the [Joint Operating Entity] is neither highly confidential nor confidential, but is critical to assessing the public interest impacts of the proposed transactions; understanding the connections between the Applicants' spectrum, marketing, resale, and JOE agreements; and determining whether the JOE will establish the basis for a future cartel between its members," Public Knowledge wrote.
Verizon argues the joint venture is about gaining the scale necessary to make expensive investments in developing new technologies that will benefit consumers.
A Verizon spokesman declined to comment on Public Knowledge's most recent filing.

The geographical area of modern-day Manitoba was inhabited by the First Nations people shortly after the last ice age glaciers retreated in the southwest approximately 10,000 years ago; the first exposed land was the Turtle Mountain area. The Ojibwe, Cree, Dene, Sioux, Mandan, and Assiniboine peoples founded settlements, and other tribes entered the area to trade. In Northern Manitoba, quartz was mined to make arrowheads. The first farming in Manitoba was along the Red River, where corn and other seed crops were planted before contact with Europeans. As French explorers entered the area, a Montreal-based company, the North West Company, began trading with the Métis.
Both the North West Company and the Hudson's Bay Company built fur-trading forts; the two companies competed in southern Manitoba, occasionally resulting in violence, until they merged in 1821 (the Hudson's Bay Company Archives in Winnipeg preserve the history of this era).
