"God I am ready for bed," Spencer announced and wiped the sweat off his face with a towel. Brendon chugged the last of his beer and tossed the cup in the trash before walking onto the bus. Ryan was already in the fridge and grabbing everyone a bottle of water.
"Thanks man, I'm gonna change," Jon said as he walked to the back.
"Me too," Brendon followed.
"Me three," Ryan and Spencer said in unison. All of them where in the bunks and started to reach for their bags when JJ, Kristin, Amy and Jack ripped open the curtains to their bunks and began to spray the silly string everywhere. Panic began to wave the string away and tried to excape. SD had taken all 10 cans and were now using them against Panic. Brendon grabbed Kristin around her waist and pulled her from the bunk and dragged her towards the back room. Jon was fighting JJ and trying to spray it back at her. Ryan had managed to steal a can back from Amy and was attacking her with it and Jack and Spencer were wrestling with the last 2 cans of silly string.
"GIVE IT TO ME!" Brendon screamed playfully as he tried to pry the cans away from Kristin. She was curled in a ball on the floor and everytime he tried to pull one away, he ended up getting sprayed. He began to tickle Kristin and she squirmed like crazy.
"HELP! AMY HELP JJ HELP JACK HELP!!!!!!!!!!!" She squealed as she laughed, completely out of breath. She tried crawling away from Brendon, but he just pulled her right back and tried to pry those cans loose. "NEVER!" She screamed and soon all the cans of silly string were empty and the bus was trashed. "It hurts... it hurts," Kristin breathed out her laughter as she held her aching sides from the tickle attack. Brendon remained in his position, one arm on each side of her upper body and peering down at her.
"I will get you back," he vowed with a mischievious grin.
"Oooh! I'm scared," Kristin mocked him and he tickled her a little more. "OKAY OKAY! I'll stop!" Brendon released his grip from her side and helped her to her feet.
"I think I swallowed some of it," Jon said and stuck out his tongue in disgust.
"Well you were the retard who decided to open your mouth while I was spraying." Jessica teased Jon and he pushed her back into his bunk.
"You know Jon, this stuff is probably toxic. You should check the label." Ryan said in a very serious tone.
"What?!" Jon spazzed out and grabbed the can and began reading. "It says non-toxic asshole."
"I know, I just wanted you to make your voice all high and squeaky and freak out."
"Dick," Jon muttered under his breath and started helping Jack and Spencer clean things up. Amy had retreated to the couch in the living area, exhausted.
"Let's do that again, only next time with water balloons." Amy said breathlessly.
"And you girls have to wear white tshirts," Brendon teased and Kristin pushed him lightly. "What? I'm single. I can look."
"Well if we have to wear white tshirts, then you guys have to be shirtless. It's only fair." Kristin Shrugged and started picking up silly string.
"Fine with me," Brendon said and took a drink of water.
Kristin laid in her bunk wide awake. She always had the hardest time falling asleep on the bus. Every bump in the road would wake her up. TV didn't help her fall to sleep either. She looked at her sidekick and read the time. 'Great it's 3:30 in the morning. Why can't I just sleep!' she thought to herself. She opened her curtain slightly to see if anyone else seemed awake.
"JJ?" She whispered and received no response. "Amy?" Still nothing. "Jack?"
"Kristin go to sleep!" Jack whispered loudly and she shut her curtain in defeat. She flipped open the screen to her sidekick and sent a text to Ryan.
Kristin: hey ry, i cant sleep. u up?
Ryan: i am now. whats up?
Kristin: just bored. i cant sleep on the bus ever!
Ryan: maybe you need a little urie
Kristin: haha funny ryro.
Ryan: im sure he wouldn't mind talking to ya. he's up
Kristin: i dont have his number
Ryan: i do
Kristin: doesnt help me
Ryan: i could give it to ya
Kristin: wouldnt that be weird that i got it from someone else?
Ryan: no, you girls read too much into shit. he likes talking to you
Kristin: ok
Ryan: im serious kristin, it'd put a smile on his face
Kristin: why cant i just talk to you
Ryan: cuz i wanna sleep. plus you know you want to text him
Kristin: so
Ryan: do it. make a move 702-555-8616
Kristin: you sure?
Ryan: YES
'Damn Ryan is a persistent bastard' Krist thought as she stared at Brendon's number on her phone. She wanted to chicken out because it would be too easy, just not when Ryan gave her shit for it the next day. Kristin's phone beeped.
Ryan: do it! stop thinking about it!
'Fucking Ryan' she thought as she saved the number to her phone and began to type a text and hit send.
Kristin: hey its kristin
She sat and waited patiently for a response. after a minute her phone beeped.
Brendon: hey, why are you up so late?
Kristin: can't sleep
Brendon: me either. too bad we're on separate buses or else we could play video games or something
Kristin: yeah no kidding
Brendon: how'd you get my number?
Kristin: i was texting ryan and he was being grumpy and told me to bug you since you were up
Brendon: oh cool. i've been meaning to get your number. kinda weird i didn't have it til now
Kristin sat there and stared at the message. 'What does that mean? Just because everyone on tour has practically everyone else's phone number or did he actually want my number?'
Brendon: that silly string fight was fun
Kristin: my sides still hurt bren, thanks
Brendon: your welcome and payback is coming
Kristin: oh i bet
Brendon: this tour so far has been the most fun of all the touring we've done
Kristin: really? touring with fob wasn't more entertaining?
Brendon: not this entertaining. and at least with you guys we get to hang out with females too
Kristin: true, although pete wears makeup
Brendon: i'll tell him you said that
Kristin: please do
Brendon laughed at the little table in the so-called "kitchen" on the bus. He was actually happy that Ryan had told Kristin to text him. He'd wanted to ask for her number but for some reason couldn't bring himself to do it. He was so afraid of getting hurt that he didn't even try to pursue her, despite his growing crush. Brendon and Kristin continued to text through most of the night until they finally called it quits around 6 am.
JJ shook Kristin around 9 am when they all had to get up. "WAKE UP!" She shook her until Kristin groaned. "Why are you so tired?"
"I stayed up til like, 6 talking to Brendon." Kristin rubbed her sleepy eyes.
"You what?" Amy popped her head in the bunk with JJ.
"I talked to Brendon through text last night for like, ever."
"I know you two were gonna hook up!" Amy squealed.
"What? Amy it was purely platonic. Brendon has never even flirted with me."
"Um yeah he has!" Amy and JJ said in unison.
"Hey Jack!" Amy called and Jack walked over to us with shaving cream on his face.
"Has Brendon ever flirted with Kristin?"
He thought for a second. "Well I don't know what you'd call that wrestling match they had on the bed yesterday, but I'd call it flirting. He had you pinned down and tickling you."
"See," JJ said triumphantly.
"Whatever guys," Kristin rolled out of the bunk and stumbled slightly. "Jack hurry up in there please, I need a shower to wake my ass up."
"You got it," he walked back into the coat closet bathroom to finish shaving. The girls all walked into the back room of their bus, which was a giant closet now. They all just threw their clothes into it and shared. They were rummaging through the clothes and gossiping?
"So have you and J-Dub kissed yet?" Kristin asked.
"Well, yes, last night." JJ said almost blushing.
"Details!" Amy demanded loudly causing JJ to jump slightly.
"Well it was right after our set and we walked backstage. Remember how Jon and Brendon were watching? Well when you all left with Brendon he kissed and asked me on a date for our next day off."
"AWWWW!" Both girls said in unison.
"I know, I'm so excited!" JJ gleamed and picked out her clothes. Jack knocked on the door.
"Shower's open."
"Thanks!" Kristin yelled through the door and made her way to the bathroom. JJ and Amy walked out into the living area to have breakfast with Jack before leaving the bus. They were already parked at the venue and ahead of schedule since they didn't stop at all the previous night. Ryan and Jon wandered onto their bus.
"Morning," the 3 said in unison. JJ smiled at Jon and he smiled back.
"Morning," Ryan said and sat on the couch and Jon next to him. "Since we have tomorrow off, I was thinking that we'd all go out and do something tonight. I mean hell, we're in Miami, Florida."
"That sounds like so much fun! We could go to a club or something," Amy said smiling.
"I guess, I'm not really a club person." JJ said.
"Well we could have our date tonight then Jessica if you don't want to go to the club." Jon stated in front of everyone and Jessica blushed a little.
"You guys have a date? Nice," Ryan commented and patted Jon on the back. Kristin walked out of the bathroom in a towel.
"Oh, hey guys." She said and retreated to the back.
"Bow chica wow wow!" Ryan called and Kristin gave him the finger before shutting the door to the back room.

The Purse of the Polity. Tax power in the European Union
AbstractThis paper describes the actual constitutional, legislative and collecting tax powers in the hands of the Union. It proceeds first to unpack the very idea of tax power, and to distinguish its elements. On such a basis, I proceed to consider European norms and practices, and to reconstruct on such a basis the tax powers of the Union. It is then found that the Union's tax powers are far wider than commonly asserted, especially on what concerns to the influence exerted on national and regional taxing powers by the Union's constitutional and legislative tax powers. However, the Union still presents most of the features characteristic of a regulatory entity. Having said that, a dynamic reconstruction of these same powers indicates that the Union is moving towards a rights-based polity, also on what concerns its taxing powers. There are clear indications that the problem-solving conception of the Union is insufficient to explain and ground the powers to tax in the hands of the Union. This paper has later been published in E. O. Eriksen (ed.) Making the European Polity. Reflexive integration in the EU. London: Routledge (2005) See ARENA Reprints

I tend to agree that there's too much legal education at law schools. Ask several mid-level corporate associates at major law firms about the exceptions to the doctrine of consideration and you&
I appreciate the enthusiasm above but the opinion that law schools have failed in their experimentation stage is non sense, people should go to law schools and then to 3 yr law colleges they would come to know the difference and thereafter they will not make absurd arguments. regarding the teaching of accounting and finance the model of nlu jodhpur is most appropriate, the courses they teach are B.PSc.,LL.B.and BBA.,LL.B. and BSc.,LL.B. which is very appropriate model for the above problem since 5yr law is not limited to production house for corporate sector.
The last line is important. \"more non-legal education might actually produce better lawyers\". That is why hitherto after graduation, students were to take the law course of 3 years. In recent years, the elite law schools tilt towards the five year law format, the basic degree is forgotten. In the first two years, students do not learn a subject to the full extent as the time does not permit to specialise in it. With the result, a lawyer who must be future social activist, does not benefit from basic grounding through graduation. This leads to lawyers unable to shape and adapt their career progression and also lack of social awareness and responsibility on the part of law students. I sincerely feel that it is high time the regulator (BCI) and judiciary should revert back to the three-year format since the experimentation period is now over and we are regereting the three year law education format.
good article. i also think think that the LLB should be 3 years like the UK and not 5 years. sadly the ppl who run legal education in india are a bunch of jokers.

"There are quite a few trainers and classes. There are a lot of vultures flying around there who will take the move if they like it so I was careful. I just worked with the great trainers. At the performance center, there is a man there who is just great. Norman Smiley, he is a surgeon in the ring. It was incredible. I would love to say I could do The Big Wiggle so I am going to yeah, I can do the wiggle."

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Poor leadership and uncontrolled students. The grading system makes no sense. The sports programs are good.
This school is fantastic! The teachers are really supportive and attentive, there are strict no bullying policies, and the school spirit is through the roof. Truly an amazing school I'm so sad I don't get to come back next year. But, once a brave always a brave!
My child has had an amazing time at illahee and I love how the teachers care for you and try to help you as much as they can, i absolutly love the school
My daughter is in their special 5th grade program for which we are proud to be in. She has wonderful teachers who have compassion and care for their students. She loves the school and her teachers and she enjoys coming to school everyday. The school has excellent extracurricular activities too. It has a good mix of academics and other activities. I love their current grading system which is standards-based. We as parents are actively involved in our child's education and are always in contact with the teachers regarding her school activities. Overall, this is an excellent middle school in Federal Way.
this school is absolutely wonderful. all the teachers are literally amazing and great teaching their own unique ways. of course the sports are amazing including their top music programs. the students are great too! so basically this whole school is great. :)
i love this school my daughter learns so much the teachers are amazing
Illahee is hands down the best middle school. Their focus on academics and athletics is absolutely remarkable. I attended alll three years and wish I was back again. There is a huge focus on athletics there and you may think you are unoticed if you dont do them. That is what I thought until I focused on the bigger picture which is school spirit andstudents DO NOT BE AFRAID TO GO OUT FOR SPORTS! ou have to start somewhere and the coaches are great. As far as academics and teachers there are a select group of great teachers as there are with any school however the difference about Illahee is that all of the teachers are above average and go above and beyond. I do not regret one minute of my time at Illahee.
I am a 'straight A' athletic 7th grader at Illahee right now and I can say I want to stay here for the rest of my life! I don't want to goto high school or move on any further! I want to stay with my brothers and sisters at illahee (they aren't my real family but they feel like family) I am proud to say that I goto a school that stands above the rest! Even though the school is old I love it! Looking at the wall in the little gym makes me want to cry! Illahee is the best in athletics and academics! Our teachers give us so much motivation the biggest pushers on the planet! We have the best PE teachers on the earth! No one can replace anyone at Illahee! I wouldn't change one thing about Illahee it is my home!
Illahee is a great school. There is no such thing as mid-winter break anymore...It's been gone for about 2 or 3 years now. Student breaks and snow days are a district/voter decision, not illahee's decision. In-service days are training days for staff to keep updated with new learning tools to help our students, also a district decision and counts as one of the 180 required student learning days. Illahee doesn't operate on a schedule unlike any other school. They are only guilty of having a great staff, great students, great athletics, great academics, and great ptsa - who recently granted $10,000 so their school could purchase upgraded visual technology for their classrooms! wow!
Illahee is a perfect school if you are into sports. I.M.S. starts to early.. the same times as high schools and it makes me almost always late
No discipline what so ever and a day off every week due to teacher inservices, mid winter breaks, etc. is all I see! What the heck is mid winter break? Then days off for more inservices, another for teacher to 'learn day', and what ever else the city comes up with. Ridiculous. Our kids had more than a week away from the classroom due to snow. If only everyone else had that, (gosh I need that at my company). I can not count the number of days my child is out of school! I thought Washington had a 1000 hour school ciriculum.
Yes, it can be competitive making the Varsity teams as IMS is well-known for their athletic strength. MANY families with extremely focused athletic children attempt to choice their students at IMS because of the strength of the Athletic reputation there. Mr Brauer is the Athletic Director if you have questions - he's always supportive. However, IMS is not only in demand for their Athletic participation, but also for their Academic reputation; Excellent scores on the State mandated test, the notorious WASL. As with most things in life, you need to make your voice heard and let the people in charge know your goals and the goals of your child to be involved. Apply yourself. Parents who would like to be involved in the school's PTSA are encouraged to participate, without pressure. Parents always choose what projects they want to help with via signup sheets. PTSA contacts are in the student planners.
Illahee is okay. There is a clique. If you are not in it, you might not get those great teachers. The Pta will not welcome every parent, I signed up 3yrs in a row and was only allowed to participate in the less popular activites. If your child is not extremely good he might not make jv sports, unless you know the coaches. So the statement for the best school can be challenged.
I am a student at Ilahee right know and I love it. I am in 8th grader and I do believe Ilahee is the best middle school. The teachers are very involved and so are the students. My favorite thing at illahee is the pep assemblys!
As a student, I have always been treated fairly and with kindness. I don't know about other districts but this is definentely the best school in the Federal Way School District. Everyone there really cares about you.
illahee is without a doubt the best school in the district. with motivating teachers, coaches, and admisitration, the students strive to do better which is why this school has top academic and athletic scores all around
The academic programs are top notch! Teachers understand and teach to grade level standards. The overall climate is amazing. School spirit and student involvement in sports and music are at a level rarely found in middle schools. Every student is truly proud to be a brave!
Several programs offered including music, art and a variety of athletic sport teams.
I have a daughter that is attending Illahee and she loves it!! Their sports program is exceptional. Their p.e. conditioning class is the best thing that happened to her. Their music program is great. The 8th grade history project is teaching her to work hard and not just take the easy way. The teachers and administration respond to e-mails promptly when there was any concerns. Overall I feel fortunate to have had my daughter attend this school.
Our daughter attended Illahee as a 7th grader in '03-'04 and we were very pleased with all that Illahee offered. The teachers were happy to hear from parents with any questions/or concerns and offered meaningful suggestions for our child's academic goals. Our daughter's self esteem in her own academic abilities went up tremendously in the course of a single school year. There were many extra curricular activities for students to be involved in including an outstanding sports program. In our opinion, this is the best middle school in Federal Way.

Like a lot of people, Mayor Tom Menino is hoping to make Boston a destination for eager young workers who might otherwise flock to Silicon Valley or New York. He's proclaimed an Innovation District on the waterfront. He wants developers to build tiny, cheap "innovation units" to house work-focused techies and entrepreneurs. He's even broken ground on an innovation center with meeting rooms and event space.
That's all well and good, but what he ought to be thinking about is bars.

The sudden warm-up continued to cause localized flooding problems in the area today.
Last night we showed you what was happening in the center of Logan.
Today, the water draining from the hills above the town was again rushing through a residential area.
This flood water is not from any river, but rather from the melting of snow over a large area on the hilly territory to the west of Logan.
The residents were busy trying to clear out culverts and move as much water through as quickly as possible again today, hoping that by tomorrow, most of the snow in the hills would be gone and the water level would drop.

Comfortable Rooms, Convenient LocationPosted Aug 13, 2014
Pros: The bed.
Cons: The internet connection. As usual in hotels, it sucks. If you're a business traveler make sure you bring your own internet with you.
Location: it's in a very good location, but to be honest I didn't explore the city much.
I liked this hotel, it looks old but it's actually pretty comfortable, the room was huge and the bed was really good, the staff was friendly and helpful, the breakfast was included and was surprisingly good (for being included).

We have three main campaigns in Africa: tackling climate change, stopping the looting of the continent's fish and saving the forests.
Let's not beat about the bush. All these threats are serious, but climate change might just be the biggest threat mankind has ever faced, particularly in Africa. Africans aren't responsible for climate change; the industrial nations are the worst offenders. But it is Africans who will pay the steepest price.
The energy sector is the worst offender, creating almost 66 percent of all greenhouse gases. Yet in South Africa, where the government is faced with a major energy supply problem, their answer seems to be the building of more coal-fired energy stations, a 'solution' which only serves to worsen the problem.
Greenpeace is locked in a desperate struggle to change people's minds, especially the minds of the country's leaders. We need to change the view that nuclear power is a cheap and effective solution to our energy problems -- it's not. We want to start a revolution in the thinking around energy, promoting the use of renewable energy sources, and saving the continent and creating jobs in the process.

In central Africa, the rainforests in the Congo Basin provide the livelihood for 40 million people. These communities depend on the forests for their food, their medicines, as well as the materials used to build their homes. Additionally, this region is home to 270 species of mammals, among them the endangered gorillas, Bonobo and chimpanzees. The okapi and forest elephant are just two of the 39 species of animals found only here. These forests aren't being protected for the people living here, they're being destroyed.
Now Greenpeace is working locally and internationally to protect this special environment before it is too late. Called 'Forests for Climate', the initiative will teach the world how it can make financial sense to leave the forests as they are, rather than chopping them up forever.
Find out more about the forest campaign
Off the west coast of Africa, the battleground is underwater. Governments here have given massive European fishing fleets permission to come in and suck their waters dry of the fish that sustain their people.
These nations don't have navies to monitor fishing fleets, so what was meant to bring foreign currency into the economy has ended up as nothing less than modern piracy on the high seas. Fewer people here are eating fish than their grandparents did as the traditional fishing grounds of West Africa are being looted for the dinner tables of Europe.

First, choose the standard Skyranger airframe, or the all-new Skyranger Swift. The Swift is ideally mated to the 100Hp Rotax 912S engine, and gives an improved ride in turbulence at the higher cruise speeds associated with the more powerful engine, as well as an incredibly nimble roll rate.
The Skyranger is available with the following serial engine options approved to BCAR section S:
Which one is best?
The list above represents order of ascending cost and ascending horsepower. You could be forgiven for thinking that selection would be purely a budgetry consideration and that the engines are listed in order of desirability also. However there are some subtle variations and reasons why that may not be the case in different circumstances.
The 582 option:
This is the only two stroke option listed. Two stroke engines have
the advantage over their four stroke counterparts of having much greater power to weight
ratio. The 582 produces 65 horsepower yet is very light. This means that the 582 engined
Skyranger is the lightest of the bunch and therefore has the highest available payload
within the max takeoff weight of 450Kg Typical built weights are in the mid
240s (kg) dependant on options.
The 582 option is standard with the C type 3.47 Gearbox and 3blade kiev prop. This coupled with the standard aftermuffler makes for a very quiet package. Electric start is also standard.
The Jabiru option:
This is the least expensive four stroke option. Despite this the
Jabiru produces 80 horsepower and has the advantage of being the lightest of the
fourstroke options.
Typical built weights are low 250s depending on options. Being of air cooled flat four configuration and with direct drive the Jabiru is a mechanically simple engine and with its conventional aircraft engine sound and feel appeals to traditionalists and those who would like to do all their own maintenance.
The Rotax 912 option:
The Rotax 912 has become the industry benchmark engine. It produces
80 horsepower and has reduction gearbox to keep prop speed low, which reduces noise and
increases efficiency especially in the low speed takeoff and climb regimes. The 912 proved
to be the quietest of all the Skyranger engine options from the results of the mandatory
CAA noise testing. For even cooling the 912 uses watercooling for cylinder heads and oil
cooling as well as having air cooled barrels. This makes the 912 very suited for tight
cowling and bullet proof cooling. Reliability is proving to be of legendary status and the
recommended time before overhaul is 1500 hours.
Typical builts weights are in the mid 250s depending on options.
The Rotax 912S option:
The Rotax 912S is a 100 horsepower version of the 912. Basic technical specification is the same as for the 912. This is the highest horsepower option currently available in the Skyranger and really does give sparkling performance with impressively short takeoff distances and high climb rate. In the cruise the most marked difference is that it uses between 300 and 500 RPM less for the same speeds compared with the 912. Standard with the Kiev 283 prop and CKT exhaust typical built weights are in the high 250s depending on options.
The engine installation kits contain all the necessary parts to mate
the bare engine to the Skyranger airframe. This includes all fuel lines, T pieces, pipe
clips, brackets for water radiators, oil tanks, coolers, wiring loom and connectors, choke
and throttle cables and brackets, battery, and all associated hardware.
This enables you to install your engine without having the chore of sourcing all those fiddly hard to find small components.
The 582 powered Skyranger is standard with the Kiev 183.
The 912 is best suited to the Kiev 273.
The 912S is standard with the Kiev 283.
The Jabiru is standard with the GT wood two blade.
Kiev props
These propellers are high tech composite 3 bladed propellers with aluminium hub. The blades are adjustable to set the pitch angle using a simple tool.. The elegant and efficient Semi Scimitar blades have inset brass leading edge protection strips to prevent erosion from debris and rain. These propellers are very smooth running lightweight and highly efficient. They come as standard with the pitch setting tool and fabric blade covers. These propellers represent outstanding value.
The GT Jabiru prop
This prop was chosen as the perfect match for the Jabiru 2200 and is the ideal prop to soak up the pulses of a direct drive engine. To call it a wooden prop does not really do this justice. It is a high tech laminate covered with a resilient epoxy covering. Inset leading edge protection is standard as is the non reflective mat black rear face. A superb piece of Italian workmanship.
Standard supply for the 912 engine is a specially fabricated exhaust system made by CKT engineering. This system is stainless steel with an oval cross section silencer box that then permits the use of an optional aluminium wrap heater manifold. Air is ducted in via a glassfibre scoop to pass through this via a flap valve into the cockpit. Very civilised for winter flying!
The Jabiru installation can also be supplied with an optional heater kit, which also takes hot air from around the standard exhaust.
All models are available with carburettor heat. This is to counter carb icing which can occur when atmospheric humidity is very high. This can cause rough running and in extremis may cause the engine to stop on low power settings. Although not required for certification this is an option that we recommend for complete peace of mind.
For the Rotax models the carb heat option consists of small manifolds attached to the carburettor body through which flows engine coolant. This then warms the carburettor body and prevents internal ice build up. There is no loss of engine power with this system so it can be left on permanently thereby releasing the pilot from extra workload.
The Jabiru which is air cooled, uses a traditional hot air system with air ducted around the exhaust through a airbox with flapper valve into the carb air intake. The air is switched by the pilot from cold to hot by means of a plunger control in the cockpit.
The SkyRanger comes as standard with a Dacron covering, in a variety of colours. Some builders choose to lacquer exposed areas of the covering, in order to improve its resistance to Ultra-Violet degredation and reduce porosity. However, the SkyRanger is now available with an optional improved covering called "X-Lam", with a trilaminate structure and central polyester scrim. This covering boasts zero porosity, superior tear resistance and ease of cleaning, and up to 3 times the UV resistance of untreated Dacron. It also has a major benefit over lacquered Dacron, in that it can still be easily removed from the aircraft for minor repairs, and yet is still slightly lighter than lacquered Dacron. Currently, X-Lam is only available in red & white fabrics, enabling all white, all red or a mixture of colours. X-Lam can also be personalised using self-adhesive vinyl stripes or graphics.
These have the following advantages:
The Skyranger wheel spat option includes glassfibre wheel spats for all three wheels and all associated brackets and hardware to fit them. Like all the glassfibre on the Skyranger they are supplied in white gelcoat finish, but may be painted any colour as desired during your build.
These consist of glassfibre mouldings that neaten the end of the wing. Primarily cosmetic they also have the advantage of taking the first brunt of any hangar rash and protect the fabric, in this most popular part of any aeroplane to hit the hanger wall / door.
The standard supply for Skyranger glazing is clear Lexan sheet.
Optionally you can specify this with a tint. This is useful to minimise the suns glare.
Despite the UK not being famed for endless sunshine we find the tint useful in UK normal
flat light conditions where sunglasses are too strong but clear canopies can give rise to
occasional squinting. Chosen for the World Championship winning Skyranger, the tint is not
so strong as to give rise to reduced visibility.
It has the added advantage of making the aircraft aesthetically more appealing.
This is a fabric baggage compartment with a hard floor. It positions
behind the crew compartment above the fuel tanks and is accessed through a long curved
The luggage bag is approved to safely carry loads up to 10Kg and has a large volume making it ideal for carrying touring items, such as clothing, sleeping bags etc.
A real must-have for those who intend long distance trips in their Skyranger!
The standard supply for the Skyranger kit is one piece doors which
are top hinged and swing outwards for access. A popular option is the two piece door
This consists of an upper half door which hinges upwards and can be latched open to the undersurface of the wing. The lower half hinges on its front edge and opens forwards in much the same manner as a car door.
The two piece arrangement allows greater curvature in the doors resulting in an additional 50mm of cockpit width across the shoulders.
The other advantage of the two piece doors is that the top sections can be left open in operation either on the ground or in the air. This is very nice to let fresh air in when taxying on warm days, and allows for unobstructed aerial photography, or just that flying with the wind in your face experience!

The Challenge
Conquer "The Challenge"
A New Homecoming Tradition
NCAA Division-II status calls for Trevecca's athletic department to be actively involved in community engagement as part of its core mission. The goal of community engagement is for universities to build relationships by bringing the community to campus to share in a fun experience that helps others and gives people the opportunity to get to know the school and local community better.
Trevecca's athletics department and student athletes have partnered with Crossbridge and Treveccca Towers to bring you "The Challenge," an obstacle-filled road race, on Homecoming Saturday, November 3, at 7:00 AM. Proceeds from this exciting event will benefit KidPOWER, a ministry of Crossbridge, Inc.
KidPOWER is an after-school program provided free to families in the Napier Community. The program seeks to help children make life-empowering decisions which will help them break free of the effects of generational poverty including: staying in school, refusing to use drugs, developing healthy exercise and nutrition habits, and solving conflict in peaceful ways while committing to a life of community service.
The race is called "The Challenge" because it raises funds to address the challenges Napier Elementary kids face in overcoming the effects of poverty. Children growing up in this environment are much more likely to drop out of school, use drugs, commit crime, and become pregnant while they are still children. Perhaps the most devastating effect of generational poverty is that children grow up believing their futures are determined by factors beyond their control.
Your participation as a runner, walker, or sponsor will help these children OVERCOME the "challenges" and "obstacles" they face while equipping them to change their community. Trevecca's student athletes and Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) will participate in the race and will guide you through the course. The race route includes running the Trevecca perimeter; conquering two challenge hills; rounding the baseball field bases; tire run and soccer field obstacles; and climbing 14 flights of Trevecca Towers stairs.

While there has yet to be much solid, Sam Raimi-shaped confirmation, it looks like Kirsten Dunst will indeed be returning to play Mary Jane Watson in Spider-Man 4.
Talking to the New York Post, producer Todd Black mentioned that the actress is back. Now, that could be wishful thinking on his part, and we still want to see something from the studio or Raimi, but it sounds like the Dunst will be back.
But even if/when she does report to the set, don't necessarily expect her to be donning a wedding dress. While recent rumours have spouted that there could be an MJ/Peter Parker wedding in the film's future, Black said he had no knowledge of the subplot in the current script.
And though he didn't lock down the identity of the villain (he says "villain", which makes us hopeful there might actually be only one badddie again), he did drop a tantalising hint… "We're just coming up with who the villain's going to be now. We'll be shooting in New York again. Trust me, people will appreciate who we pick, because it'll be a big part of New York."
Oooh… time to start speculating again. One of Marvel's New York-centric villains, then? Either that, or the Statue Of Liberty does a Ghostbusters 2 and comes to giant life to threaten the Big Apple…
[Source: New York Post]
Thinking caps on – which villain could this be?

Happy Birthday, Sister!
It's my big sister, Meg's birthday today!
(the original pong!)
I can't even really explain how much impact my sister has had on my life. We're 11 years apart, but like most siblings, the distance lessens with age.
When I was little, I remember playing "hairdresser" with her. We lived in North Carolina, and she'd put on a super thick southern accent and braid my hair.
I'm sure I was super annoying. She was my only sister and I wanted to be just like her. I'd raid her stuff and barge into her room all the time. I can't imagine being a 17 year old girl and having your six year old sister begging for all of your time.
(I love this photo minus my crazy braces teeth!)
She and my mom receive the blunt of my emotional breakdowns via phone. She's given me so much life advice over the years. I can't even express my gratitude.
Love you, sissy!!!
New Digs: Part 4
Items of Note:
More natural light! It's nice and bright ALL day long.
Vintage metal "Meteor Coffee" sign.
Black and gold State of Michigan tray.
Gnomey salt n pepper shakers.
Red non-vintage clock. (It's from Target. shhh!)
Rainbow measuring utensils from Bed, Bath and Beyond.
Old-school trivets for spoons n stuff.
The only problem we've encountered is that there is no ventilation. Almost every time we cook, we set off the fire alarm mounted 10ft up in the hallway and the whole house smells like bacon!
But I do really like our kitchen. I just haven't had a whole lot of time to spend in here. I need to get some real ingredients soon and cook some stuff up.
Up next: Part 5: Attic
Part 1: My Bedroom
Part 2: Living Room
Part 3: Dining Room
New Digs: Part 3
Items of Note:
We actually have a table and four chairs! We can actually have a sit down meal if we want to! Our landlord found some old floral curtains and asked if we wanted them. The pattern is really great, so we're hoping to use the fabric to re-cover the chairs at some point.
The Bar: I didn't include the full photo, but we've got an armoire full of dishes and table linens that's topped off with a bar on top. Pictured is a little vintage mixer set that Sam and Laura gave me.
A set of cheery yellow tea cups that I got from a vintage seller downtown (if I could remember her name, I would link it).
Window ledge friends: Abby's girl and boy figurines and my floral ducks.
(I also forgot to take a photo of the pair of owls hanging up on the opposite side of the room. whoops! They're cute.)
Up next: Part 4: Kitchen
Part 1: My Bedroom
Sushi + Cocktails
My brother Sam's 31st birthday party was a downright classy affair. Here are some snapshots.
(I should probably note that Sam and I share our excellent posture.)
Happy Birthday!
New Digs: Part 2
Items of Note:
The size: uh, it's huge. It feels spacious with three couches in there.
Natural light! There's so much of it!
Painting on the wall: I forgot to get a close up, but it's an old-timey man riding a bicycle. Abby said it's been in her parents' house since she can remember. Moustache, ho!
Invisible Double Shelf: Abby got this fun thing from Urban Outfitters. Sadly, I hung it a little high, especially for a room in which you usually sit, but oh well. (I'm almost 6ft tall, gimme a break, sometimes I misjudge.)
Book Clock: A gift from my friend Tyler. He made it himself!
Mantle Pieces: Abby's mini terrarium, vintage clock, and owl bank. Abby collects owly things, which I think is pretty fun. As long as she doesn't mind me quoting Twin Peaks all the time.
More lilacs!
and Batman: 'nuff said.
New Digs: Part 1
It took about a month, but Abby and I have finally settled into our new place. It's about four blocks from my work, right on the edge of downtown Grand Rapids, and still within walking/biking distance of my favorite Eastown spots.
There are a few projects we still want to do around the apartment, but last weekend I finally decided it was just time to take some photos. It was a lovely sunny day, I had just finished a cleaning marathon, and the lilac bush outside our house was blooming!
So in part one, I'll show you around my bedroom.
Items of note:
Bedspread: My mom just bought a new sewing machine and has been looking for projects. She made me this blanket from a floral sheet I bought on Etsy and a super-soft pink sheet from my sister-in-law.
White Shelves: A silhouette made of me when I was three years old, and freshly cut lilacs.
My new bike! I had a really old bike of my dad's that was just too heavy to lug up and down the stairs. Found this little salmon-colored number on Craigslist. It's called a Sundance Sparkler and was part of a promotion by Hi-C in the 80s.
Organizing cubes! I find it much easier to utilize all of my clothes when I can see them.
Floral box: A wooden box that belonged to my grandmother.
My budgeting jars: Managing my money is much easier for me when I have visuals. So I keep my cash in jars with a corresponding photo on each jar.
Sam Elliott: Do I really need to explain this? I don't think so.
Floral bowl: Found this matchy-matchy metal bowl at an antique store a couple weeks ago. Now it holds my laundry quarters.
What day is it, now?
I really don't mind Valentine's Day. Putting up the ads on December 26th is quite ridiculous, but I think the actual day can be quite a nice idea. Then again, I've always been a sucker for kitsch and nostalgia.
So here are a few of my favorite Valentines from around the interwebs. Let go of your bitterness for a minute (I know it's difficult. I get it. Really.) and give yourself a giggle.
Butthorn (I posted these a couple weeks ago, but thought they deserved to be in the collection as well)

At St. Olaf, Peace and War in the Heartland was planned primarily by PCF leaders Magdalena Wells '08 and Joel Bergeland '08 and held on Feb. 28 through March. 1. St. Olaf's activities began with a chapel speaker, Frank Kroncke of the Minnesota Eight, a group of eight college-aged men who raided various draft boards in non-urban Minnesota on July 10, 1970.
The eight men who were caught at Alexandria, Little Falls and Winona on July 10th went to trial, where seven pleaded guilty and were sentenced to five years in federal prison, and one pleaded guilty and was given probation.
Kroncke, who spent two years in prison, is a former monk and seminarian with a Catholic background. In his speech on Wednesday and later to a group of students at lunch, he spoke of his belief in the need to end what he called a "warrior society." Said Kroncke, "In today's society, you can either be a peace criminal or a war criminal."
Students were encouraged to further consider this choice Thursday afternoon, when Kroncke and an actor from Heart of the Beast Theatre Company of Minneapolis led a draft simulation, aided by students from Progressive Christian Fellowship. In the simulation, the actor, dressed in fatigues, invited passers-by to find out their draft number and learn what they would have had to do, where they might go during the war, and what might happen afterwards if they had been drafted.
The following evening, Friday Feb. 29, a group of students then attended "Peace Crimes." Written by Doris Baizley and currently in production at the University of Minnesota Rarig center until March 9, the play is about the Minnesota Eight and begins from the first draft raids which they and others carried out through their trials, imprisonment and eventual release.
Saturday, the final day, St. Olaf hosted a series of speakers at three different sessions during the day. The first, "Faith and War," was given by Frank Kroncke and Rev. Tom Duke, Ph.D, of the St. Paul Area Council of Churches, St. Paul Interfaith Network. In this session, both men discussed their views on pacifism in a time of war, including conscientious objection, the act of showing through religious, moral or ethical beliefs that one is unfit and incapable of fighting in a war. In the second session, "Social Justice and the War," Mel Duncan, former director of the Nonviolent Peace Force and Jane Evershed, a poet, artist, and activist formerly of South Africa, and discussed different ways and reasons they saw for acting against not only current wars, but war in general.
Marv Davidov also spoke, telling about his time in the Honeywell Project, when he and others challenged the Honeywell Corporation's involvement in production of supplies for the Vietnam War. The third and final session, "Veterans and the War," was given by Chante Wolf, a member of Veterans for Peace who served in the air force during the first Gulf War. Wolf spoke about her involvement with Veterans for Peace and her concerns about the welfare of soldiers in the current war. Peace and War in the Heartland is continuing with more events at other campuses across Minnesota. Students interested in learning can go to PWH's website at http://www.pwh-mn.org/.

Inconsistencies in core policing
A member of the public will receive a different response from the police for the same kind of crime or incident, depending on where they live, a report from HMIC found today.
News article —
Practice varied across British Transport Police custody suites, but overall detainees were properly cared for, said Nick Hardwick, Chief Inspector of Prisons, and Dru Sharpling, HM Inspector of Constabulary, publishing the report of an unannounced inspection.

A Different Pharma Story Altogether
Zain is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Glaxo Smithkline (NYSE: GSK) is expected to report its 4Q12 results on Wednesday 6th February. The sell-side forecasts sales of $11.02 billion (-3% YoY), core EBIT of $3.62 billion (-2% YoY), and basic core EPS of 50 cents (-1% YoY). FX will be a 3% and 4% headwind on sales and EPS. For FY13E, the basic core EPS estimate stands at $1.97 (+9% YoY). The sell-side expects no new important headwinds in 4Q12 and will focus on 2013+ signals.
Pressures that concerned me in 3Q12 results have stabilized in 4Q12
I have fewer concerns into 4Q12 results:
1) FX headwinds are stable;
2) Loss of the Japanese Cervarix catch-up was seen already in 2Q and 3Q;
3) A later, more competitive flu vaccine season pressures 4Q lesser;
4) Disposal of consumer brands already affected 1Q-3Q results;
5) Tail and generics-related commoditization (e.g. Lamictal XR) is better appreciated;
6) EU pricing is stable; and
7) Consolidation of Human Genome Sciences (HGSI) already had a $0.98 impact in 3Q with $0.8 more due in 4Q.
Expect pressures in early 2013; Long term guidance, if affirmed, is still a positive
There are some early (1Q) 2013 issues:
1) Filling of a vaccines backlog flatters 4Q12, but weakens 1Q13,
2) Vesicare, Cervarix, and Consumer Healthcare segment annualize at 1Q13,
3) FX is a -3% headwind for FY13, and
4) The EU restructuring is still due.
The associates and minorities lines, after changes to JVs, are expected to benefit the company. Mid-2013+ catalysts are interesting: The following drug approvals are on the horizon:
a) Relvar/Breo (On 7-Mar, the FDA panel will discuss the new drug application; Decision date has been set in May),
b) Zephyr FDA review acceptance (in Feb),
c) MAGE-A3 / Tyrisa data (to be reviewed anytime in 2013).
Moreover, the long-term guidance is still robust.
Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) reported its 4Q last Tuesday. The company topped the analyst estimates, but missed the revenues forecasts. Also, the company lowered its revenue guidance for 2013. Given that the company acts as a bellwether for the healthcare sector, this says a lot about the overall situation of this sector. The highlight of the earnings was the forecasted market for the company's new products like Xarelto, Zytiga and Incivo. Innovations in this sector are the key drivers of growth.
Similarly, the investors were least amused from Forest Laboratories' (NYSE: FRX) recent earnings release on Jan. 15. The company not only witnessed a YoY drop in sales, but also saw net profit turning into loss. However, again, the new product innovations keep the investors' interested in the stock. Also, the company has a solid balance sheet with zero debt and sufficient cash reserves to be used in its projects.
Both J&J and Forest Labs haven't sent bullish signals to the market. GlaxoSmithKline's earnings will tell us a lot about the future of the healthcare industry.

I thought these were terrible. The recipe works fine, in the sense that following the instructions leads to very pretty muffins. I just thought they were relatively tasteless, and I found the addition of the cornmeal to create an unpleasant texture for a muffin. They might have been slightly better if the lemon zest had been excluded and the cinnamon had been added to the batter, but the texture was still a problem for me. I ate three bites and threw the entire batch away. I'm not sure I've EVER done that before.
