Whenever Marvel releases a movie that has familiar characters like Captain America or Iron Man in it, you know what to expect since they are old but famous. Now that they have expanded their squad, other superheroes can jump in to do a cameo, making it more exciting to watch. Therefore, seeing how things were going with Iron Man and Captain America movies, the directors of the Marvel movies decided to take a step that could maintain or break their strong momentum of superhero movies. One would expect a sequel or another film that brought a loveable hero or heroine forward. Instead, it was a movie about superheroes tasked with guarding space in Guardians of the Galaxy. It had no cameo from a famous hero but rather from a villain. Other than that, it was completely new for the fans. The members of the team are slightly new, but they positively made a tremendous impact on the Box Office. It became the highest-grossing movie of the summer and the sequel titled Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 will look to do the same. The sequel will release next year with the same squad along with new faces and villains as well. The team includes Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, and Chris Pratt reprising their roles as Gamora, Drax the Destroyer, Groot, Rocket Raccoon and Star-Lord, respectively. There are expectations regarding some of the characters to have a bigger role to play. James Gunn will return to direct.
It's a pretty obvious thing that when a movie becomes an instant hit, the characters rise to stardom. This was the case with Star-Lord, the hero of the film. Chris Pratt was the actor that began his rise to fame by playing this character. Peter Quill was Star-Lord's real name. In the comics, he was created by Steven Gan and Steven Englehart. He possesses the skills in strategic planning and fencing. According to the comics, he possesses staggering strength when he wears his signature suit. In a month or so of the release, his costume was being recreated or/and worn by cosplayers. Have a look at the way our customers have dressed up. It looks like they were signed for the film. Of course, the jacket and the coat were both worn in the movie, and there was a debate about which was the most appropriate hero-like attire. It came down to who was more comfortable in it. Nevertheless, Chris Pratt wore these as his Star Lord Costume when he was chosen to lead a team of misfit alien hooligans to save the galaxy. Being the only human in the team, Star Lord was less than equipped with the skills of leadership, especially knowing that the people he has lead were capable of killing him easily. Nonetheless, he manages to get them on the same page and save the galaxy. As for the upcoming film, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, there'll be a new costume that he will wear.

It's a nice product. The entire process was hassle free. only shipping was delayed.

I wore many styles in my life, but once I tried this, I became instant attention.
It has double stitching which I believe is durable enough to last long. One of the outclass feature I found is viscose inside which performs better than any other jacket I have worn. It is soft and silky. For people with Star Lord obsession, this is a winner

My girlfriend bought this jacket for me for my birthday because I'm such a huge fan of Star Lord and Chris Pratt and it's amazing. The attention to detail is phenomenal and it is a fantastic fit. I live in Ireland and the delivery took merely 6 days which I was ecstatic with. Totally recommend these guys if you're ever looking for a jacket they happen to have in stock. Excellent stuff
Posted by Step
I bought it for my son. I was very surprised about the fast delivery, and how great the jacket looks, it also has a soft feel, and not heavy. I would buy from here again
Posted by Maria Urrutia
I bought this because it's such a cool looking jacket. It took some extra time to arrive due to some complications but, when it arrived, it was all worth it. It's beautiful!
The best part is you can wear it casually. It's comfy and it keeps you warm when it's a little cold outside.
I recommend it.
Posted by Eden
The jacket style seems accurate but lacks shininess. That's maybe because of the leather material but apart from that, I am satisfied with the quality and only reason I am giving 4 stars is because my product arrival was late.
Posted by Gregory J. Adams
Fjackets proved they are the best clothing designer in the market today. I ordered this Star Lord Jacket and almost wear it every day. When it comes to buying movie inspired apparels, I only choose this site and also recommend others to do the same.

It was a gift for my husband, and it's a good jacket. The size was just as described and fits perfectly on him. I have previously purchased my Star-Lord jacket from this online store and it was a wonderful buying experience. The quality is excellent, shipping speed is okay, and you can see the price is reasonable too. Highly recommended.
Posted by Chris
It looks and fits just as hoped. Thanks for the prompt delivery! :)
Posted by Mickey Ceaser, VIR
I bought one before this, they are so amazingly made and this one too. According to specs it is made of synthetic but, while receiving on hand it is actually screen accurate and hard to find difference from original one, I BET! :) Perfect looks, as it is in images. Very clear images to see the actual features, which is GREAT. Wonderful support team, I had corresponded with!
Posted by Kevin
Can say I can trust this as they have provided me the service which none can do. Ordered the jacket a week back. Though it took long, it didn't come out bad. Service is good, easy to correspond with and happy with the jacket.

My bro called me stupid when I brought this jacket. He was like I'm Insane and Blind that this type of jacket would work and for real I have no idea what was I thinking. My bro made me wear that round neck t-shirts with this jacket and then I realized that it looks perfect.
Posted by George Stroud
Something that I though wouldn't work actually turned out great. Nice fitting, just like it and made in a creative manner. I'm glad that I reached here earlier. Didn't take that long which normally nobody likes that but I'm enjoying it that's for sure.
Posted by Michael Bauer
Very comfortable, and my friends loved it. I gave them your site and I just told them that they will get even better than what I have. Now I guess they're making their way now.
Posted by Mark Matthews
The reason I purchased this is because I truly admired Chris Pratt as the way he acted in the movie. Comedy guy truly and some of my friends compared me with him. So that made me feel more good and that's why I got this good looking jacket of Chris Pratt. I started dancing like him, cracked jokes and even did some gestures which I think I should not mention here lol. I'm good with the service, very pleased with it.
Posted by Richard McLaughlin
I was searching for Chris Pratt's jacket ever since I saw the premiere. It captured my attention and I thought to myself that this is the jacket I want. I searched everywhere but, it was just coming but this website immediately developed it and made it available for the customers. I just couldn't believe that the jacket I wanted was just a simple click away. I will recommend this site to all my friends so that they too can have the luxury of free shipping and fast delivery.
Posted by Jordan Sam
I have paid very close eye on the original star lord clothing and there are some flaws in yours version. The color shade is little different but I don't mind. I bought because I expected it to be comfortable and perfect fit and that exactly what it was. The comfort factor over powers the flaws easily and that is why I like this stylish jacket. I make sure that it is kept in good condition and nobody else wears it.
Posted by Thomas Martin
The great thing that I found in this Star Lord jacket is that it can be used for a dual purpose. The way they made this outfit, is really remarkable. The attire can be worn for Halloween and costume parties And, the jacket can also be worn when I want to go out for any reason. I used it for both and it gelled well with the situation.
Posted by Herman Fisher
I just can't tell you how satisfied I am with your red jacket. It is no surprise that many people are rating this as the best selling jacket. It has all the necessary factors of being tagged as one. I too am a big fan after wearing it. It fits like a glove. I am satisfied by the delivery and free shipping advantages that this platform provides. Everything especially the jacket makes me a satisfied customer.
Posted by Walter Allred
The moment I saw this jacket, I just found it hard to resist. I didn't want to pass the opportunity that I got thanks to this site. The online store was giving a big discount and the most affordable price tag for it so it obviously made me want to buy it as soon as possible. This site is the most convenient site because it gives you a lot of advantages. So I am satisfied and happy customer
Posted by Anthony S. Palmer
I had given my order, gave my size, received the confirmation email for the order and that was it. I just had to wait patiently for the jacket to come. I had literally spread the word that I will be getting a Star Lord Design, that too before my birthday. I first planned to wear it as my birthday outfit. I was a bit impatient that I kept emailing the customer service. It came 2 days before the expected delivery time and I was very happy. Just in time and worth the wait.
Posted by Saul Sanchez
Just how Chris rose to fame with his acting as Star Lord in the movie, I too somewhat became known in my new class. It was my third day and I decided to wear this jacket because obviously I liked it. But what I liked more was that the students started to make conversations with me. And now, the whole class knows me by this jacket. I feel really happy with having an expectation before that nobody would talk to me. I have friends is because of this jacket. I definitely refer this jacket to them and to all who want a cool look.
Posted by Douglas E. Moore
When it comes to taking inspiration from movies or TV series, there is no other site that can compare to this site. It is like literally taking it out from the screen and wearing it. The way this jacket has been made, every detail matches the original flawlessly.
Posted by Donald J. UK
There is no surprise that this jacket would be the best seller after the blockbuster movie of Guardians of the Galaxy. I personally love this jacket because of screen accuracy. First things first, the quality is too good. It can easily be identified as a very durable jacket. The details does make it very fashionable and a good casual outerwear.
Posted by Stanley Nickel
When contacting the customer service about the size and asking them all the questions that were on my mind like when will it be delivered and if they got my address correctly noted down and what type it is. I noticed that they are very courteous and kind. They even answered me in detail so I had no issue in learning about the item.
Posted by Daniel V. Mason
usually the problem I have is with my size. I find it very hard that to get a perfect size that I want for myself but it didn't quiet happen I was still worried. But thank goodness I received helped from their customer services. They guide me well. It falls perfectly on my waist and even the sleeves' length and waist fitting is just comfortable. I'm really happy that I finally got perfect fitting.
Posted by S. Lockman
The moment I placed my order, I was just too excited for it. My mind was continuously thinking when and how long more will the jacket reach to my place. I couldn't even stop myself from telling my friends that I'm getting a Chris Pratt jacket. At first they didn't believe me but when I showed them they couldn't believe it…even I couldn't do. I finally own a superhero jacket and that too of Star Lord. I was overjoyed and this online store made it possible. Thank you so much
Posted by Brian Ulm
As others have stated, this is a high quality, comfortable jacket beautifully styled to match the Star Lord short version jacket from the movie. I wore it in 4 cosplay events and loved it. It beautifully survived walking an hour during a downpour on Halloween night at West Hollywood's carnaval. Great jacket at a great price that I am going to wear for much more than just Cosplay. Thank you!!

It arrived really fast and is amazing looking. Definitely worth the price!

The Spiritual Works of Mercy in the Jubilee of Mercy
"We want to live this Jubilee Year in light of the Lord's words: Merciful like the Father," said Pope Francis in announcing this extraordinary Year of Mercy (Misericordiae Vultus, 13). With particular emphasis, he adds, "Let us open our eyes and see the misery of the world, the wounds of our brothers and sisters who are denied their dignity, and let us recognize that we are compelled to heed their cry for help! (Id., 15).
In our community, as elsewhere in our nation and world, there are many people in need of our material assistance. Jesus asks that we care for one another and be a "Good Samaritan" to those on the margins. It is a moral imperative that we give of ourselves and do corporal works of mercy for our sisters and brothers who are hungry or homeless or who lack adequate housing. Yet, as important as it is, if all we do is feed their bodies, we are not doing enough. As Jesus said when tempted in the desert, "One does not live by bread alone" (Matthew 4:4).
When he visited our sisters and brothers in need at Catholic Charities, Pope Francis did not simply offer them bread to eat, which would leave them hungry again later. He gave them spiritual sustenance as well, which provided them love and the hope that endures.
The human person is composed of more than a physical body. As the Catechism teaches, "The human person, created in the image of God, is a being at once corporeal and spiritual" (CCC 362). We are each both body and soul, which together forms a unified whole (CCC 364).
In being merciful to others, it is essential as followers of Christ to minister to the whole person, attending to their spiritual needs as well as their material needs. Spiritual mercy cannot be overlooked because the salvation of souls is so paramount to God's plan. Furthermore, our Holy Father says, "the worst discrimination which the poor suffer is the lack of spiritual care. The great majority of the poor have a special openness to the faith; they need God and we must not fail to offer them his friendship, his blessing, his word, the celebration of the sacraments and a journey of growth and maturity in the faith" (Evangelii Gaudium, 200).
Pope Francis says, "Let us not forget the spiritual works of mercy: to counsel the doubtful, instruct the ignorant, admonish sinners, comfort the afflicted, forgive offenses, bear patiently those who do us ill, and pray for the living and the dead" (Misericordiae Vultus, 15; CCC 2447).
Our Holy Father also tells us that when we appear before the Lord for judgment, "we will be asked if we have helped others to escape the doubt that causes them to fall into despair and which is often a source of loneliness; if we have helped to overcome the ignorance in which millions of people live, especially children deprived of the necessary means to free them from the bonds of poverty; if we have been close to the lonely and afflicted; if we have forgiven those who have offended us and have rejected all forms of anger and hate that lead to violence; if we have had the kind of patience God shows, who is so patient with us; and if we have commended our brothers and sisters to the Lord in prayer" (Misericordiae Vultus, 15).
Admittedly, the spiritual mercies at times might be difficult, or seemingly make for an awkward moment with family members or friends. For example, as Pope Francis acknowledges, "At times how hard it seems to forgive!" Many of us probably know someone who has struggled with this – more than once someone at a funeral has told me of their regret at never reconciling some estrangement with the deceased before it was too late. Or perhaps we have nurtured some grudge or resentment ourselves. However, as we look to Jesus on the Cross, we see that pardoning offenses "is the clearest expression of merciful love, and for us Christians it is an imperative from which we cannot excuse ourselves" (Id., 9).
Patience and forgiveness can be difficult, particularly if someone has hurt us grievously. Yet, we have in the gift of the Spirit the grace to do what is hard. Moreover, in forgiving, especially in "the hard cases," we are blessed as much as the wrongdoer (cf. Matthew 5:7). Counsels our Holy Father, "Pardon is the instrument placed into our fragile hands to attain serenity of heart. To let go of anger, wrath, violence, and revenge are necessary conditions to living joyfully" (Misericordiae Vultus, 9).
The door of mercy is open. Crossing that doorway, that threshold, opens our hearts and our lives to the ocean of mercy that God our Father offers us as his sons and daughters. Now let us share that divine love and mercy with others, each and every day.

Torrential rains -- with reports of up to 12 inches falling in seven hours -- caused an estimated $3 million in damages to this small Texas town, authorities reported Friday.
One person, a 19-year-old woman, was reported missing and police said they were continuing their search for her. No other injuries or fatalities were reported.
City Manager Bobby Russell estimated that some 140 homes in the North Hubbard Creek area were damaged and that four residences had been destroyed. The north and west sections of this town of 2,200 people were hardest hit by the floodwaters.
Russell said Albany officials were requesting the governor to declare the town a disaster area and to seek a federal disaster declaration, making it eligible for federal relief funds.
Temporary shelters were set at the First Christian Church and at a local motel, Russell said. An estimated 150 people had taken shelter there, he said. Roads into town which had been closed on Thursday were cleared of debris and reopened, although Russell said they were "not in real good shape because a lot of the asphalt had been washed away."
The Salvation Army's Texas division was providing meals for flood survivors and rescue workers. The Salvation Army was also sending cleanup kits.
Russell said 8.5 inches of rain was recorded at the city's water plant between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. Thursday. The town's wastewater plant, where another rain gauge was located, was washed away by the floodwaters, he said.
Other estimates put the rainfall total at up to 12 inches.
"The deluge was so heavy they (rainfall estimates) could all be accurate," Russell said.
Residents were advised to boil water before drinking it. The sewage treatment plant, which was totally submerged, was operating at 50 percent, he added.
Skies cleared on Friday afternoon but heavy rains were forecast for the evening.
Clear weather was forecast after that storm front moved through.
Albany saw flooding in 1978 and 1990. In the August 1978 flood, 34 inches of rain fell in a 34-hour period, Russell said.
Nine people were killed in that storm, which caused an estimated $4.2 million in damages. Russell said residents who survived that storm reported that the water level in the creeks was actually higher during Thursday's downpour, mainly due to the amount of rain which fell in a shorter time period.

The oral cavity is a unique environment, with large numbers of bacteria in constant close contact with host cells. One group of bacteria present in the oral biofilm are the oral spirochetes. Spirochetes are a unique group of bacteria associated with chronic periodontal disease as well as other diseases. My lab focuses on how these bacteria and their bacterial products are able to modulate the host cell response: particularly the normally protective innate immune neutrophil response. We are interested in characterizing mechanisms that spirochetes use to impair neutrophil function.

The Veteran Project is a way to tell the story of veterans through photography. It's also a way to bring awareness to veterans. The faces that are forgotten and pushed aside. Myself and my husband are both veterans. Although we didn't serve a twenty year term, we both were enlisted and served. We fulfilled our contracts and received an honorable discharge. We are both veterans, although not retired. Most people think veterans are retired and have spent most of their life in the military. That's not the case at all. As I photograph veterans and tell the stories that they share with me, I hope you will have a better understanding. Also, I will hope that you realize that its not over when you come home or finish your contract. It stays with you for the rest of your life and its not always easy to deal with.

The Most Insidious of Traitors
By William Rivers Pitt
t r u t h o u t | Perspective
Tuesday 30 September 2003
"Even though I'm a tranquil guy now at this stage of my life, I have nothing
but contempt and anger for those who betray the trust by exposing the name
of our sources. They are, in my view, the most insidious of traitors."
— George Herbert Walker Bush, 1999
Karl Rove, senior political advisor to George W. Bush, is a very
powerful man. That is not to say he has never been in trouble. Rove was
fired from the 1992 Bush Sr. campaign for trashing Robert Mosbacher, Jr.,
who was the chief fundraiser for the campaign and an avowed Bush loyalist.
Rove accomplished this trashing of Mosbacher by planting a negative story
with columnist Bob Novak. The campaign figured out that Karl had done the
dirty deed, and he was given his walking papers…………..

November 01, 2007 17:00 ET
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Nov. 1, 2007) - CHC Helicopter Corporation ("CHC") (TSX:FLY.A)(TSX:FLY.B)(NYSE:FLI) announced today that its worldwide helicopter support division, Heli-One, has entered into new purchase contracts for delivery of 12 Sikorsky S-92 helicopters with a subsidiary of Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation ("Sikorsky"), and, 13 AgustaWestland AW139 helicopters with Agusta S.p.A ("Agusta"). These purchases support CHC's commitment to acquiring new technology aircraft and are part of CHC's fleet renewal plan to meet the demands of its global customers.
The first S-92 helicopter from this order is expected to be delivered to CHC in June 2009 with deliveries continuing through March 2012. The first AW139 helicopter from this order is expected to be delivered to CHC later this year, with deliveries continuing through late 2011.
CHC has already acquired 16 S-92 and eight AW139 helicopters under previous orders.
Including the 12 S-92 helicopters from this order, essentially all of CHC's heavy helicopter orders to be delivered in fiscal 2008 are committed to customer contracts, with approximately 55% of heavy helicopter orders committed on contract for all years. Including the 13 AW139 helicopters in this new order, approximately 85% of CHC's medium helicopter orders to be delivered in fiscal 2008 are committed to customer contracts, with approximately 45% of medium helicopter orders committed on contract for all years.
Concurrent with these purchase contracts, Heli-One has entered into:
- an agreement with Sikorsky to complete post-delivery modifications on S-76 helicopters owned and/or operated by CHC and third parties;
- an agreement with a subsidiary of Sikorsky to provide overhaul and repair services for the main, tail and intermediate rotor transmissions of S-92 helicopters owned and/or operated by CHC; and
- an agreement with Agusta to complete post-delivery modifications on AW139 helicopters owned and/or operated by CHC.
It is also expected that Heli-One, upon meeting certain terms and conditions, will enter into:
- an agreement with Sikorsky to complete post-delivery modifications on Sikorsky S-92 helicopters owned and/or operated by CHC and third parties;
- an agreement with a subsidiary of Sikorsky to perform repair, overhaul and warranty services on certain S-92 helicopter components for third parties;
- an agreement with GE Aviation to perform repair and overhauls of CT7-8A engines (fitted on the S-92 helicopter) that are owned and/or operated by CHC;
- an agreement with Agusta to overhaul the main and tail rotor transmissions and provide maintenance and parts support services for AW139 helicopters owned and/or operated by CHC and third parties; and
- an agreement with Pratt & Whitney to perform repair and overhaul on PT6C-67C engines (fitted on the AW139 helicopter) that are owned and/or operated by CHC.
As a result of these agreements, Heli-One will exit from power-by-the-hour (PBH) support agreements with these Original Equipment Manufacturers ("OEMs") on the S-92 and AW139 helicopters owned and/or operated by CHC.
With the addition of these new maintenance, repair and overhaul ("MRO") capabilities, Heli-One will have the ability to support all the newly introduced aircraft types, including the Eurocopter EC225 helicopter, the Sikorsky S-76 and S-92 helicopters and the AgustaWestland AW139 helicopter.
In addition, independent of the purchase contracts and new MRO capabilities, CHC, the Royal Bank of Scotland ("RBS") and Export Development Canada ("EDC") have reached commercial agreement and are completing final documentation to expand an existing CHC/RBS lease facility by US$225 million. This provides CHC with the ability to lease finance a variety of different aircraft types flying in multiple jurisdictions around the world. This lease facility is available for funding until at least April 2009. When this agreement is finalized, the additional US$225 million capacity combined with other existing financing capacity will provide CHC with total credit-approved aircraft-specific financing facilities of approximately US$390 million.
About CHC
CHC is the world's largest provider of helicopter services to the global offshore oil and gas industry, with aircraft operating in more than 30 countries worldwide.

Occam's Razor and "Populations Evolve, Individuals Do Not"
3) "Populations Evolve, Individuals Do Not"Several years ago I was talking about my interest in a testable internal evolutionary mechanism in some forum or other when someone came back with "Populations evolve - not individuals!". I had the distinct impression the individual concerned believed that this statement alone absolutely precluded the possible existence of any such mechanism.
From the TalkOrigins page "What is Evolution?":Individuals do not evolve, but if shared circumstances 'triggered' individual internal evolutionary mechanisms in a subset of a population then this could cause similar genetic changes to appear in their progeny. Thereby causing a "change in the frequency of alleles within a gene pool from one generation to the next."
"Evolution is a process that results in heritable changes in a population spread over many generations."
This is a good working scientific definition of evolution; one that can be used to distinguish between evolution and similar changes that are not evolution. Another common short definition of evolution can be found in many textbooks:
"In fact, evolution can be precisely defined as any change in the frequency of alleles within a gene pool from one generation to thenext."
- Helena Curtis and N. Sue Barnes, Biology, 5th ed. 1989 Worth Publishers, p.974
One can quibble about the accuracy of such a definition (and we have often quibbled on these newsgroups) but it also conveys the essence of what evolution really is. When biologists say that they have observed evolution, they mean that they have detected a change in the frequency of genes in a population.
And yet I could find little meaning in the statement. After all, I am not aware of anyone who has ever suggested an individual can evolve - and what exactly constitutes a "population"?
In the same (or a similar) discussion I asked "If a population consists of 'n' male/female pairs and I take one pair way, then would this still be a 'population'?" If so, and I then removed another male/female pair, would this be a population too? (etc.).
I was trying to establish at what point the number of male/female pairs ceased to be a 'population' but the discussion either petered out or didn't proceed along those lines, I can't remember which.
Looking back I wonder if not being able to determine (to any meaningful degree) "any change in the frequency of alleles within a gene pool from one generation to the next" might hold the answer.
If so, then the same could be argued for a kaliedoscope: the patterns produced can be analyzed but if I repeatedly removed the coloured pieces of glass producing those patterns then there would come a point where the 'images' produced would be too disjoint for any meaningful information to be gleaned. And there would still be coloured pieces of glass left.
The point, of course, is that only the male/female pairs have a natural reality external to the intellect: you can remove any subset of male/female pairs from a population and perhaps alter the "frequency of alleles within a gene pool from one generation to the next" but you can't do anything to the "frequency of alleles within a gene pool" and affect the male/female pairs.
On another occasion I tried a different tack: If you were to drive by a golf course soon after it started raining then it would come as no surprise to see a few upraised umbrellas among the spectators. If it continued to rain, and you came back ten minutes later, then there might be more umbrellas in evidence.
The question is "Has the population of umbrella-carriers grown or have a number of individuals employed a similar solution to a common set of circumstances?"
From internet discussions it seems clear that some people who are knowledgeable about evolutionary theory can only see that the population has grown.
To even consider the possibility of an internal evolutionary mechanism, on the other hand, requires recognition that a number of individuals found a similar solution - and might share a mutual awareness because of it.
Definiting evolution does not define, limit, or affect how evolutionary changes may or may not occur: go to the furthest ends of the earth and you will only ever see individual organisms, peer through a microscope into the smallest petri dish and you will only ever see individual bacterium. "Herds", "Flocks", "Shoals", and "Colonies" are only descriptive labels - not natural entities!
And you will never, ever, see a "gene pool". Remember Occam's razor:
one should not increase, beyond what is necessary, the number of entities required to explain anythingIf there are only individual organisms in the natural world then wouldn't it be sensible to consider the possibility that evolutionary changes occur because of something inside of them? something testable?

This may look like a lane but in reality it is a one track road. While this one is narrower than some (it was part of a 12 mile detour), one track roads are common in northern Scotland. There is a whole etiquette to driving them.

If you are able to see ahead (not always the case when there are sharp curves) the one closest to the passing place, especially if it is on the left, pulls over to let the other pass. Both drivers wave thanks and continue on. If you meet someone unexpectedly (not unusual with these curves) the one closest to a passing place backs up. If there is someone behind you who wants to pass, pull into a passing place, the one who passes honks to thank you. If you are at a passing place and want to signal to oncoming traffic that you will wait for them to pass, flash your lights. The real challenge comes when you meet unexpectedly near curves. One of the drivers has to back up to the nearest passing place to allow the other to pass. It is all more complicated that fancy dance steps!
I found this challenging and I wasn't driving. But these roads took us through some spectacular scenery (though our eyes were often focused on the road ahead). Misty, rainy days brought moody closed in views and when the sun shone, the vistas opened up to moors, mountains and lochs.
Fortunately there were parking areas where it was possible to stop and just enjoy the views. Above is the Kyle of Durness. As we got near Kylesku the mountains were higher. They plunged down into the lochs. We decided against the very scenic route (another many mile one track road) as the main road actually allowed us to admire the scenery.
Even the main road (at this point two lanes - one in each direction) wound up and down the mountains.
So many of Scotland's mountains are treeless. The views go on forever.

ASUS N50VN-B1B laptopSaturday, March 21st, 2009
The all new ASUS N50Vn-B1B is specifically designed as an all in all desktop replacement device which can be your next home PC. For instance, in case you use it to edit your family videos and photos or even run various applications to manage finances of your household, the 15 inch widescreen of the system offers you a fast processing parts for the multi-taskers. Additionally your children can also use it to play newest 3D games and even enjoy high quality movies through the excellent NVIDIA graphics card.
The new N50Vn-B1B from ASUS comes in glossy brown finish but it does not exactly burst with colour. This system is probably the last thing you might find in an office or a living room. It includes contemporary designs which are similar to HP HDX16t through which subtle patterns are embedded below its hard laminate. Regarding its weight the system is around 6.7 pounds which means that it is neither mainly heavy nor it makes an ideal portable device.
The 15.4 inch screen of the laptop is designed in the traditional 16:10 widescreen format giving it a great look. The traditional format of ASUS N50Vn-B1B does not give it less screen space compared to its competitors. The system has good viewable 1,440 by 900 screen resolution which is sufficient for most of the demanding multi-taskers. The ASUS N50Vn-B1B also accommodates an excellent full size keyboard and the best thing is that it also has the numeric keypad which is great for number crunchers. However the numeric keypad is only half the size compared to a normal one to preserve the comfort level and responsiveness of the keyboard.
The features of ASUS N50Vn-B1B laptop can easily satisfy any home PC user. It includes 3 USB ports which spread along the sides of the laptop. There is the FireWire port for all compatible storage devices and an impressive 320 GB hard drive which is above the average regarding capacity for a home user. In case you need some more drive space then there is an eSATA port to offer external storage is located at the front bezel. The system is also equipped with HDMI port and is much similar to Acer, Dell Studio and HP laptops. The system enables streaming of videos and photos to a bigger display like your LCD TV. The ASUS N50Vn-B1B is also designed with a standard webcam with fingerprint reader found designed between mouse buttons.
However even though the ASUS N50Vn-B1B is not a faster processor that is available, the 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 processor is both energy efficient and speedy. You should know that anything faster would basically compromise with battery life. Boasting a midrange processor with an outstanding 4 GB of memory actually helped N50Vn-B1B to overtake Dell Studio XPS laptop by nearly five seconds over video encoding test. The only thing that makes this ASUS N50Vn-B1B a perfect family PC is that it perfectly combines the finest performance parts with tons of features which are all includes an affordable price.

American actress and musician, Evan Rachel Wood, has recently come out to state that she was raped twice by two different men in separate occasions. While this news is shocking most of her fans, others find it inspiring as they see her as an icon of beauty and inner strength. Rachel first revealed this information in a letter she wrote to Rolling Stone, and has widely been shared on the social media platform.
This revelation came up as part of Rolling Stone's project where they were creating a story about the actress. In the letter, Woods admits she was violated by a significant other while they were dating, and again on a separate occasion by a bar owner. This message was first shared on Twitter on November 28th by Kate herself.
Evan, who's now 29, says that she felt the urge not to make her encounter a sob story like most women do. It wasn't about her alone but also the experience of other women who undergo the same thing silently. Similarly, she didn't want people to think she was only doing it to get attention, or told by critics that it wasn't such a big deal after all.
Rachel admits she'd been previously reluctant to tell her story, but given the time we live in today people can't afford to be silent any longer. At least speaking for herself silence is not an option, given the current state of world affairs where open bigotry and sexism is at its highest.
According to Rolling Stone's Nov 17th issue, Evan emailed her letter to the magazine soon after Donald Trump was declared president-elect of America. In the emotional write-up, Rachel says she's still glad to be Alive. Happy. Strong. Standing but not OK. Wood also revealed to the magazine that the abuse was both physical, psychological and sexual. Revealing the extent to which it damaged her self-worth as a human being.
However, this was many years ago and she hopes not to bring her past experiences into current life. But the actress is still adamant that nothing was her fault, and neither of these rape incidences was OK. Evan further says she tried committing suicide at one time due to the pain concealed in her heart. Rachel is just one of the many celebrity women in America who've undergone sexual abuse from men they trusted deeply. It was very brave of her to publicly share those experiences and help other women who are also undergoing the same kind of abuse.

Vanuatu U-17 National Team came from, behind to draw with Papua New Guinea 3-3 in the OFC U-17 World Cup Qualifier in Tahiti today Wednesday 15 February 2017.
Aben Pukue hits Papua New Guinea first goal in the match in 11 minutes before Vanuatu leveled in 25 minutes from Dilland Ngwele.
One minutes before the break, PNG striker Barthy Pukue fires left of LEO from the penalty spot to put his side ahead 2-1.
After the break Vanuatu fought hard and leveled again, thanks to goal from Albert Vanva.
But the wantok replies back again with their third goal from Barthy Kerobin finishes off a deflected ball to give his side the lead but the local boys leveled the scored board before the final whistle in 83 minutes when Zidane
Maguekon wallops the ball at goal from a free kick and it slips through keeper BERIGAMI's hands.
Papua New Guinea coach not really happy with the draw against Vanuatu.
"I'm very disappointed because I think it was just a few individual decisions that gave us the result we weren't really after," the Papua New Guinea coach said.
"I have to commend my side for the team effort. I was impressed with the ability to switch between the attacking and defending."
For his counterpart Rocky Neveserveth it was two evenly matched sides which was reflected in the score.
"Papua New Guinea prepared for this match and we also prepared a long time for this match."
Being able to keep his side motivated in spite of having to come from behind three times was a challenge but one Nerveserveth said his team dealt with well.
"The best part of the game for me was when our young guys scored goals. We spoke a lot about this match and we told them to press, press hard and try and score goals.
"I also told them to focus, keep your heads in the game and remain motivated for the full match. With that approach we were able to get the draw." He said.
After two rounds in Group A all teams are still alive heading into the final day's play on Friday (Tahiti time – Saturday in NCL, PNG & VAN), with the top two progressing to the semi finals.
Latest Group A Standing
1. New Caledonia 4
2. Tahiti 4
3. Papua New Guinea 1
4. Vanuatu 1

How many books have you have published?
I am not sure. Too lazy to count! Maybe a hundred?
Did you write for fun when you were at school?
Yes! All the time.
When was your first book published and what was it called?
My first book was published when I was sixteen. It was called DANCE FOR TWO. (I wanted
to call it CASTANETS AND BALLET SHOES, but I learnt very early on that authors can't
always do what they want to do!)
What was your first book about?
It was about a girl who was desperate to learn ballet, but her mum says they can't afford
it. That girl was me! Ballet was one of my greatest passions when I was young, and I did so
much want to have lessons. Nobody can know how envious I was of all those girls at school
who used to "do ballet" and come into school carrying their pink satin shoes ... even today it
is one of my greatest regrets of my life that I was never allowed to have ballet lessons, which
is probably the reason that I have written several books about dancers and dancing.
Was it difficult to get your first book published?
Yes, but I was blissfully unaware of it. My father had my aunt type the book out (it was
originally written in a variety of different-coloured inks in school exercise books) and
without telling me he sent a copy to a literary agent, who agreed to try and place it. She had
to show it to no fewer than thirteen publishers before finally number thirteen accepted it for
publication. The first I knew was when my agent wrote with the good news, which meant I had
all the excitement without any of the anxiety!
Which is your favourite children's book written by someone else?
How can I possibly choose just one? I could say ... LITTLE WOMEN. Or I could say ... A LITTLE PRINCESS. Or I could say ... WINNIE THE POOH. Or I CAPTURE THE CASTLE. Or the WILLIAM books. Or anything by Geoffrey Trease, or - any of a dozen others!
How long does it take you to write a book?
A book the length, of, say, SKINNY MELON AND ME, probably only takes a couple of months to write, but I could well spend a year or even longer dreaming it up - plotting it, planning it, making notes, getting to know the characters. I almost do a first draft in my head before ever putting pen to paper.
Do you use a computer or write first drafts long hand?
I always write first drafts by hand, sitting at the kitchen table surrounded by cats and dogs. To write at a computer would be too much like working in an office. (But I always do letters straight on to the computer! Couldn't write a letter by hand to save my life.)
Do you have a writing routine?
I don't have a set routine, but tend to follow the same pattern of writing all morning, putting work on to computer in the afternoon, then printing out a copy and reading it through in the bath (which is why many of my first drafts tend to be waterlogged ... )
How do you get your ideas?
Like most writers, I get them from all over. Things I see, things I hear, things people tell me. Things which interest or concern me. Things I dream up. Things I read in other people's books. Things which just pop into my head from seemingly nowhere. And, of course, things which happened to me when I was young.
Do you draw the pictures for your books?
No, alas, I cannot draw! But I'm very lucky as I have the same excellent illustrator for all my Harper Collins books - Karen Donnelly, whose drawings are funny and friendly, which is what I hope my books are.
What advice would you offer anyone who wants to write for children?
Basically, try to become as a child. Think as a child thinks. See through a child's eyes. Experience a child's feelings. Keep the adult part of yourself in the background - whilst always making sure that you keep a tight hold on the reins. In other words, let the child in you do the speaking while the adult shapes the words.
What would you do if you weren't a writer?
Once upon a time I would have said, "Be a ballet dancer!" But it is a bit too late for that now, so I suppose I would do some kind of work which involved helping animals.
The above are just some of the questions which I am most often asked. If there is anything else you would like to know, please feel free to write to me. My Contacts Page will tell you how to get in touch.
