The gloomy greys of bitter winter shine through the aged window. The shaky trees shiver in the cold and I immediately feel sorry for them. My five year old eyes begin to water. I rush to the hall closet and pull two coats off the hooks. I begin to open the door, but feel a strong, warm hand rest on my thin shoulder. I turn and find my father shaking his head. I know that putting up an argument would be useless and it devastates me. I pout back to the living room and pull my eyes back to the window. I soon hear my tiny voice apologizing to the snow white trees. My cheeks are wet with tears and my heart thumps a broken beat. I didn't understand why I felt this way for the trees. I guess that they were always the one's I called friends. They were always the first one's to hear about my "Good Job!" star sticker that Mrs. Hastings always gave me. Whenever I was invited to a birthday party, they would be the first to see the festive invitation. And now here I am, watching them freeze. I begged Mother if I could just give them a jacket that they could all pass around and share. The answer was constantly "no" and "that's ridiculous, absolutely not". I ran to my bed, where my best friends poked at my window, begging for warmth. I knew that, if I ran, I would have enough time to grant it. I rushed to the closet and grabbed two more coats after throwing on my hat, mitts, and my own coat. I swing the door open and dash outside. I run to my friends in need of saving and pull off my jacket. I throw it over the biggest branch and start to yank off my hat and mitts. After warming up the thinnest tree with all of my clothes. I decide that the thicker trees will be just as warm with less clothing. I toss on the two coats on the other two trees and I am finally satisfied and I know they are too. I start to turn with a smile on my face when my father's disapproving glare stops me. I look down, knowing I've failed in keeping my friends warm. He smiles at me and looks up at the now-warm trees. He begins to understand... for he too, was once a little kid with determination and friends.

Actor Neal McDonough and his wife, Ruve, have listed their house in Windsor Square at $2.899 million.
Built in 1922, the Southern Colonial-style home features a step-down living room with a fireplace, a dining room that is used as a billiards room and a high-ceilinged family room that opens to a patio with a spa, wet bar and lounge area. There are five bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms and 4,067 square feet of living space.
McDonough, 47, is known for roles on the series "Band of Brothers" (2001), "Boomtown" (2002-03) and "Desperate Housewives" (2008-09). He was in the 2012 season of "Justified" and will play Joseph Hooker in the upcoming miniseries "To Appomattox."
The couple bought the quarter-acre property in 2005 for $2.675 million, public records show.
Lisa Hutchins of Coldwell Banker's Hancock Park North office is the listing agent, according to the Multiple Listing Service.

Matsumoto will be there for sure. "I can't wait," she said. But she will -- for days and days.
Yoshino Matsumoto is willing to do just about anything to get a spot on the rail at the finish line for major races at Japan Racing Association tracks -- including camping out by the front gate for as long as a week.Matsumoto, a 30-year-old horse crazy fan from Tokyo, laid out her blanket by the admission gate of Tokyo Race Course Nov. 20 so she could have first run when the gates opened at 9 a.m. on the morning of Nov. 27 for the 25th running of the Japan Cup."I've been doing this since I became a horse racing fan in high school," the Tokyo native said.Matsumoto doesn't remain at her post 24 hours a day. Working with a group of about 10 people, she sets up a rotation schedule throughout the week so there is a minimum of two people camping out -- day or night -- to maintain their position. The Yutaka-tei restaurant, a traditional Japanese yakatori pub just across the street from Tokyo Race Course, serves as the group's headquarters when they need some food or drink to warm them on a cold night.She does it all for her love of the horses. Matsumoto tries to photograph every Japanese grade I race for her personal collection. "I'm just an amateur -- not a professional photographer," she said. "I just love being close to the horses."Matsumoto calls Smile Tomorrow -- winner of the 2002 Japanese Oaks -- the favorite of all the horses she's photographed from her railside location. "She was cute," she said. "I first saw her at a farm in Hokkaido when she was a foal. Then I followed her throughout her career." Like many Japanese fans, Matsumoto makes annual pilgrimages to various farms in the northern island of Hokkaido where Japan's Thoroughbred breeding business is based.For this year's Japan Cup, there were at least 20 other groups who spread blankets out at the admission gate days in advance of the race. That number will grow when Triple Crown winner Deep Impact faces older horses on Christmas Day in the Arima Kinen at Nakayama Race Course. Some fans camped out for as long as three weeks to claim their spot along the rail when Deep Impact ran earlier this year.

Martin Demichelis hopes lifting the Premier League will finally bring a little respect.
Manchester City's ponytailed Argentine defender has launched a blistering attack on his critics ahead of the game that can complete his rehabilitation from chump to champ.
A season which saw Demichelis identified as the weak link in Manuel Pellegrini's team will end in triumph if the Blues pick up a point against West Ham at the Etihad.
And he said: "The people who criticised me need to be more respectful of me and what I've done during my career.
"I have never experienced this before. I am well-respected player who won titles in Argentina and Germany and I have never had these problems anywhere else. I'm a foreign player here and I need to go with that.
"But I've now played nearly 11 years in Europe, including eight at Bayern Munich, and I have won many trophies in that time. That is not by chance.
"I am very grateful to Manuel for the support he has shown me.
"I have been through a lot all the way through my career, but at no point did I stop believing in my own ability. I always thought I could do this and I'm now where I want to be.
"I tried not to listen to too much of what was said about me but there was just too much criticism."
Demichelis, who has played 37 times for his country, does indeed have an impressive pedigree.
He helped Pellegrini guide River Plate to the Argentine title in 2003 before a move to Bayern bought four Bundesliga and German Cup doubles and a Champions League Final appearance.
He linked up with Pellegrini again at Malaga and helped the Spanish club reach the Champions League quarter-finals last season before agreeing a move to Atletico Madrid when his contract expired.
When Pellegrini arrived at the Etihad in the summer, he persuaded City
to pay Atletico £4million for a player who was still to make his debut for his new club.
An injury hampered Demichelis' pre-season and his struggle to adapt was highlighted by a red card for bringing down Lionel Messi in a Champions League defeat by Barcelona and a clumsy challenge to concede a penalty as City were knocked out of the FA Cup by Wigan.
Demichelis said: "I started the season with an injury and I needed time to adjust physically. But as time has gone on, I have found my rhythm and been on an upward curve.
"The penalty against Messi and Barcelona was one incident in a match where I actually thought I was playing really well. And since that Barcelona game, I feel that I've played at a high level for the last three months.
"But at no point did I stop believing in my own ability. I always thought I could do this and I'm now where I want to be."
Demichelis, who will need to tame Andy Carroll today, added: "I will not talk about winning the Premier League title until we have achieved it because anything can happen in football.
"But it is a pleasure and a privilege to play in a team that has scored 100 goals in the league, and it would be special to be a champion in my first year in England.
"Manuel Pellegrini should be praised for the way we have played.
"We have always played in the same style in every match and in every competition, and now we are so close to achieving our objectives."

I saw your article on the web about TCE. I live in Woburn MA, home of the film "A Civil Action." I have been using a water distiller to rid my water of impurities. Reading your article, I now realize that since the boiling point is 165 F, below 212 F of water, I am not removing the TCE. Can you confirm that? Can you suggest any other method of removal, such as filtering? J.A.
The boiling point of 1,1,1-trichloroethane is 165F. The solvent you reference in your question is thrichloroethylene (TCE) which has a boiling point of 189F. Both solvents have boiling points below that of water (212F). Since I am not familiar with your water distiller, it is difficult for me to comment on its effectiveness.
Simply boiling the water on your stove can boil away excess solvent, but in reality, this would only be effective for gross removal. The very low levels that could be in groundwater may not be able to be removed with distillation apparatus. If you have a full distillation column where you boil a liquid (in this case the water) and send the gas (steam) through a condenser and collect the condensate in another container, you also will not be effective at removing the solvent.
Almost everything will come over to the collection container. The first to come across would be any azeotropes of TCE and water that may have formed. An azeotrope is a constant boiling mixture of two or more components, in this case TCE and water. At a ratio of about 95% TCE and 5% water, an azeotrope will form that has a boiling point of 164F. Next any "free" solvent will come over at about 189F and finally the water will boil and come over at 212F.
Now armed with these facts, it still may not be possible to physically separate the two, since TCE is soluble in water to a very limited extent. I believe treatment of water with activated charcoal filters may be the best method of removing any type of solvent impurity from water. I would first contact your local water treatment/regulation department and find out the status of the drinking water.

I am writing about a problem involving Sandra Knight Howard, who now lives in Winnsboro.
Sandra grew up in Lancaster and attended schools here until her marriage. She still has two brothers in Lancaster.
Many Lancastrians know of her brother Richard Knight and his many helpful deeds with the Red Cross and other local organizations. Sandra's other brother, Carl, works at the local courthouse as court bailiff. Sandra loves Lancaster and visits here often.
In 1993, Bill Clinton became president of the United States for the first time. The movie "Unforgiven" won the Oscar for the Best Picture.
S.C. Sen. Thomas Alexander, R-Oconee, frequently has a need for office supplies. Fortunately for him, he happens to own an office supply store.
The Walhalla resident owns Alexander's Office Supply and has spent a good deal of his campaign funding at his very own store. The question arises, then, is there anything wrong with putting campaign funds into your own business?
The primary season is over (finally!) and the stage is set for November's presidential election – unless, of course, something happens that would change the present set of circumstances.
So, let's look back on several months of debates, debacles and deliberations.
I presently serve on two boards of directors for Lancaster County. The bylaws of both these organizations state that failure of a member to attend three consecutive meetings of the board of directors will subject the member to dismissal from that board.
I believe this to be a standard attendance regulation for most such organizations, even though extenuating circumstances will be considered at the discretion of the board members.
We have just witnessed another horrific example of how depraved people can be.
A lone gunman walks into an Orlando bar and opens fire. When it is over, 49 people are dead, and more than that number are wounded. Our prayers go out to the families of the murdered, and to those who survived.
And now, all the questions begin to emerge. Why? Why do horrible things like this happen? What would motivate someone to carry out such a despicable act? How could someone have such a calloused heart? And, of course, why didn't God prevent this from happening?
As far back as I can remember, the Unity in the Community festival started on East Gay Street (The Hill) with some great gospel singing and was the highlight of the weekend.
We had basketball games, table tennis, dunking booths and dancing in the parking lot and a variety of performers throughout the years. Free food and pounds of fish frying. People were in long lines waiting for the hot fish.
It was a time for the Lancaster Fatherhood Project to give back to the community. There were great speakers to encourage the community to help each other and unify in spirit.
Editor's note: This editorial ran in the Index-Journal of Greenwood.
Oops, they did it again!
Only it's not an oops. It's more of a rude, crude one-finger salute directed at you, the public, the taxpayers.
South Carolina's lawmakers have had six years to come to grips with measures designed to strengthen the state's Freedom of Information Act, thanks to Aiken Rep. Bill Taylor and others who recognized years ago that real reform was needed in an effort to create better and more transparent government, government that is accountable to the people.
Someone asked why I hadn't written anything lately, and I said that my last article was not published because the editor felt I needed more verifications of my sources.
At first it bothered me, and I felt he doubted my integrity. But after consideration I realized he was right to doubt because, as I told the editor, "there is so much information available from numerous sources that I often consider something factual if it has multiple sources in agreement," but in today's world of TV, radio, print media and Internet, that is not always true.
We were shocked and saddened to hear about the passing of Fred Sheheen today. Fred was a South Carolina institution who devoted his life to lifting up all of us.
As a young journalist, his reports on the Civil Rights Movement told stories of injustice that helped spur a nation to act. He played his own part in the long march toward justice as an aide to Gov. Donald Russell, during whose tenure our state took fitful yet peaceful steps toward desegregation.

If you're like most of us, you spend your whole damn life working for everyone else: the bank, your spouse, or your kids - it's rare that you carve out some time to stop and focus on the vitally important questions. You know, the one's that are critical, but not urgent, like: Why am I still in this job? Wasn't this supposed to be a stepping-stone? Why do some people seem to be doing better financially than me? Will I end up eating home-brand bangers and watching Family Feud in retirement? Am I on the right path? Together we're going to answer these questions. I'll give you a step-by-step plan that will clear away the cobwebs of doubt and give you clarity and confidence. But to get the most out of it, you need to do your part: sit uninterrupted in an easy chair, with a biro, a cuppa and a Tim Tam or two. To be truly happy you must be in control of your financial life - or lack of money will control you forever. So in this book, I'm going to step out my plan -- a plan that's allowed me to tread my own path, and will allow you to do so too. Over the years I've successfully taught this plan to thousands of people, from elite athletes to single mums on Centrelink. I'm confident it will work the same for you as it did for for them. I understand how busy life is. The average visitor to my website stays for around 2.38 minutes (or so my web geek tells me)...and I'm asking you to spend an afternoon with me?! So at the start of this journey together, I want to honour your commitment, and that's why I'll make this promise to you: You will be able to buy everything you need, while achieving your number one goal: whether that be dumping your debts, radically paying off your dream home, or retiring with dignity. You'll achieve it without using a strict budget, or living like your poor old Aunty Mavis. Above all, I'll give you the freedom to tread your own path. Sounds like bulldust, right? All I ask is that you keep an open mind. Read this book in your comfy chair, enjoy the bikkies, and follow all the instructions. Trust me on this: as you begin to see the plan working, your confidence will soar.

The youngest got accepted to SUNYCanton, which is about an hour south of the Canadian border. He's decided he wanted to learn French. ( I failed French in HS ) We have been using the program for about a week and I never would have believed it but, I'm speaking French. LOL
We bought a new Version 3, but I would have bought it used without the Audio Companion. It doesn't add enough to make it double the used price.
We are skipping the writing portions for now, and it really helps to have someone as pitiful as you trying to spit it out. :P
I manage a Rosetta Stone Online Classroom, and I love it. Bunny (11) and I are taking Mandarin Chinese, and Muncho is taking Spanish. Speaking of which, I need to work on my lessons for today.

Facial-exercising pink fright mask
I dimly recall reviews of similar products from the distant past that suggest "facial exercises" may serve to loosen the flesh and make wrinkles worse.
See also: Deerskin dieter's mask
(What it actually reminds me of is the mood balaclava, from this same book, but that wasn't in the preview)
It took me a moment to understand what "dieter" means in this context.
This is because "Dieter" is a german male first name*. So I honestly wondered: Who is "Deerskin Dieter", and how did he get that nick name? Seeing the corresponding image triggered the feeling this most be some weird horror movie ...
*short for "Dietrich", which AFAIK shares the etymological origin with "Deutsch", which is german for "german".
Got nothin' on the Looseleaf Beauty Report
It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again
If it was printed with anatomically correct muscles/etc (slim goodbody style), I would be pulling out my credit card.

SAP has already successfully tested this program using pilot projects in India and Ireland.
German software firm SAP is recruiting autistic workers. To help the company hire autistic workers, SAP has hired Specialisterne. Together, SAP and Specialisterne will recruit individuals with autism that can work as software testers, programmers and data quality assurance specialists.
SAP, which employs more than 65,000 people worldwide, is confident that there is a competitive advantage to recruiting autistic workers, as these individuals have unique talents that are underutilized in the workforce. SAP also hopes that this program helps people with autism link up with an employer that will give them the type of work opportunities they need.
Autism Speaks defines autism as a term for a group of complex disorders of brain development. These disorders are represented, in differing degrees, by problems with social interaction, verbal and nonverbal communication and repetitive behaviors.
According to the German software firm, Specialisterne is the industry leader in finding the right way to utilize the unique talents of individuals with autism in tech jobs such as software testing, programming and data management. Specialisterne, which already operates globally, will help SAP expand this program around the world in the near future.
Luisa Delgado, a member of SAP's Executive Board, says that this recruitment drive will change the way the software firm looks at unique talents by concentrating on what autistic workers bring to the table. According to Delgado, innovation comes from the "edges" and only by challenging traditional ways of thinking, will SAP and other companies be prepared to face the problems of the 21st century.
Thorkil Sonne, founder of Specialisterne, concurs with this sentiment. He contends that recruiting individuals with autism and placing them in positions where their talents can be utilized will raise SAP's profile as a powerhouse in innovation.
SAP has already successfully tested this program using pilot projects in India and Ireland. The German software firm found that recruiting autistic workers improved productivity and togetherness in several key areas.

Live Nation Entertainment Inc., the biggest fish in the live music business, has purchased Rexly Inc., a tiny minnow of a music start-up based in San Francisco.
The acquisition, announced Monday, is part of Live Nation's ambitious expansion into digital, which the Beverly Hills company views as a potent channel for reaching new audiences and, ultimately, selling more tickets to its concerts.
Last year, Live Nation acquired BigChampagne, a Los Angeles company that measures digital media consumption, particularly music. In March, it launched Live Nation Labs, a quasi-investment fund for promising music start-ups. Rexly is the first acquisition for the Lab.
Founded just 14 months ago by Joel Resnicow, Kyle Fleming and Bradley Lautenbach, Rexly operates a music-sharing application that lets users see what their friends are listening to on iTunes, Pandora and YouTube. Lautenbach left the company earlier this year to become vice president of creative development at Zuckerberg Media, leaving Resnicow and Fleming as Rexly's only two employees.

MILTON, Ga. – Thursday at the NCAA Championship is a day for extra cellphone batteries, or at least some antacids.
For college coaches, Round 3 is the ultimate stress-fest as they constantly update live scoring to see if their team is safely inside the top eight in the standings after the final day of stroke-play qualifying.
On Friday, the top eight teams – seeded by how they finish Thursday – square off in match play at Capital City Club.
Every team wants to be the No. 1 overall seed, of course, but does it really matter? After all, one poor match-play performance can end a season, regardless of the opponent.
"You want to win," said Alabama coach Jay Seawell, whose team is three shots back of host Georgia Tech after two rounds. "You go in with the mindset that you're trying to win. Doing anything less than that is a bad habit."
"Of course we want to win," said 'Bama sophomore Justin Thomas.
Top-ranked Cal, which has won 11 of its 13 starts this season, is one shot back after a day that could have been much better.
At one point Wednesday, the Golden Bears pushed their overall score to 20 under par – 17 under for the day – only to falter down the stretch and post 11-under 549 for two rounds.
"It was party time," Cal coach Steve Desimone said, "and now it's a root canal."
Cal senior Max Homa was asked whether it was important to get the No. 1 overall seed heading into match play.
"I'll take eighth place, I don't really care," he said. "It's the most stressful day of all of our lives. As long as I'm playing match play, I'm pretty happy."

Has anyone else experiences what seems to be a weird bug when soaking pools on Heroic Malkorok? I get every Melee pool in our 10man comp and very rarely I will be standing inside the pool and it will still explode. I don't know if it's a bug with having feint up or just some random glitch that happens to everyone, but on multiple occasions over the past few nights I have had my pool look like it exploded with me standing in it.
I do not stand on the edge.
I am not using cloak and immuning it.
I am not lagging.
I am not retarded.
I've had multiple people in my group confirm that they saw me standing in the circle and it still exploded. I get there early, stand to the side which is closest to melee but stay within a nice fat part of the circle. I vaguely remember this being an issue on another boss in the past, but cannot remember the specifics. Has anyone else noticed this?

3. Transfer details. Using carbon paper, transfer the snow people's facial features and clothing to the felt bodies.
4. Stuff. Lightly stuff the heads of the snow people with polyester fiberfill. Fill the legs and nearly 2/3 of the bodies with plastic doll-stuffing pellets. Using small, tight stitches, hand-sew the openings closed.
5. Paint the features. Use a light touch with a paint-filled brush. Dab on extra paint to fill in solid areas.
Snowman with Vest: Paint the nose orange. Use black to paint the eyes, mouth, glasses, and buttons. Paint the vest stripes cherry red. Use bright green to paint the bow tie.
Snowman with Scarf: Paint the nose orange and the eyes and mouth black. Use yellow and green to paint alternating stripes for the scarf. Paint the scarf fringe green.
Snowlady: Using terra-cotta, paint the snowlady's hair. Paint the nose orange and the eyes and mouth black. Use deep periwinkle to paint the collar and buttons. Use primrose for the flower petals and green for the leaves. After the flower dries, make three black dots in the center of the flower. Using pink blush and a cotton swab, apply a dot of blush to the cheeks. Use the fine-tip black marker to apply eyelashes.
6. Add ribbon for hanging. If desired, sew the center of a 16-inch length of ribbon to the head of snowman.

As climate change shifts weather patterns across the world and causes chaos in the world's coastal cities, there may be an unexpected benefit to the slow roasting of the Earth's surface: better wine!
Yes, new research published this week in the journal Nature Climate Change could point to evidence of human-caused heating patterns affecting the Earth's climate to a point where the seasonal rains that help cultivate the sugars and acids in grapes that break down into the finest of wines. The lack of these richer elements prompts earlier harvests among wine grapes, and that's actually a positive thing for growers in the Bordeaux & Burgundy wine regions of France.
"There is a very clear signal that the earlier the harvest, the much more likely that you're going to have high-quality wines," Cook says.
That's Benjamin Cook, a climate scientist with NASA's Goddard Institute of Space Studies, speaking with NPR about his co-authorship of this new research. He says that before the 80's, grapes were rarely harvested early unless a drought was occuring, but over the last few decades, that's changed.
But Cook says the traditional reasoning that hotter weather, and an earlier harvest, means better wine may only hold true to a point. He notes that in 2003 an extremely dry, warm growing season preceded one of France's earliest harvests on record. Grape growers were harvesting their fruit in mid- to late-August — several weeks earlier than usual.
"But the wine quality was kind of middling," Cook says. "That suggests that after a certain point, it could just get to be so warm, and the harvest so early, that you move into a situation where the old rules no longer apply."
Regardless, it could be years before the true benefit or detriment to wine's quality is truly felt, and winemakers will need to make tough decisions about how they'll change their growing strategies in the face of rapid climate change.

- The price usually reflects the amount of bodywork required, as well as removal of the trim, and then the actual job of painting the car. If this guy does quality work, it sounds reasonable to me.
As SDCARSEY said, it would be great if they could put you in touch with a couple of previous customers, so you could see the type of work they do.
- May 22, 2012 at 1:09 am
- Paint work is usually only half the job. It takes a lot prep work to make the paint look good. So $3k is a very reasonable price for a good quality simple paint job. My guess is that there will not be a lot of straightening and blocking. This is what makes a paint job show winning. These cars leave the factory with a lot of waves and ripples in them. A really top notch paint job will correct these factory flaws. But these will often run $8-10k and up!! So if you have seen the work this person does and you are happy with it, a nice job for $3k is a very reasonable buy.
- May 21, 2012 at 11:19 pm
- If you trust that he will do it right, that is about the going rate for the work that has to be done. The cracks in the paint will have to be taken down past the paint that is cracked, the dents and rust (under vinyl) fixed and remove and replace all the trim on the car. You usually get a guarantee for this price also if it's a shop. There are people that will do it cheaper, but like most things you get what you pay for. You don't want to have to do it again in a few years because someone didn't do it right. So be sure you have seen something that they have finished and truly trust that they will do it right, cause 3k is a bunch to give up if they mess up. Hope it helped with your decision, I restore old muscle cars as a hobby and have worked for local body shops as a painter if you needed to know my experience as well.
- May 21, 2012 at 9:34 pm
- I can't be much help here, but I would get a couple more quotes from other shops just to compare. I've never had a car repainted, but I did get a quote on my 88 Camaro one time. The price was $1,800 to repaint it white. If I actually had it repainted I would choose another color, so the price would be higher. But if your car needs a little work before paint, and you know this person does a very good job, $3000 may be a reasonable price. Sorry I'm not much help.

if you thought the eighties was just this summers passing trend, think again. Its going to be a hot look come winter, too. On the catwalk, anything goes but in real life theres one unbreakable rule: focus on one area eyes, lips, cheeks or hair and one area only. (Unless youre off to a fancy dress party, in which case use Marc Jacobs a/w 09 show for reference and imitate at will.) Your eighties cheat sheet includes crimped hair, heavy matte contouring, bold, glossy lips and pops of bright eye shadow, and heres our pick of the products to help you get the look.More
Liquid Eyeliner, £4.50 by Barry M

Washington D.C. is an interesting place. As the capital of the country and with a mix of people from around the world, there is a lot of diversity here. While the members of congress and those who attend to them spend lots of money, students keep it cheap and lively, and tons of tourists from all over the world keep it rushed and eclectic. There is a lot of incredible and diverse food in D.C., cool bars, and a lot of history, museums, and monuments. D.C. is an eclectic and fun city that I always enjoy. There's plenty to do here to keep you busy during your visit!
Typical Costs
Hostel prices – Hostels start at about $30 per night for a large 10-person dorm room. You can expect to pay about $50 for a 4-person dorm room. You can expect to pay about $70 for private hostel rooms, though there are fewer options for hostels with private rooms. Many hostels in D.C. offer some version of a common room and a kitchen; though don't expect anything too fancy.
Budget hotel prices – D.C. isn't cheap, especially during the summer when the city is packed. Centrally located budget hotels cost between $100-150 per night for a double room. All hotels in D.C. usually have air-conditioned rooms, and some have free WiFi and pools. There are a good number of Airbnb hosts here, many with centrally located rooms or private apartments. You can get a private room starting at around $80 per night, and an entire home starting around $110 per night.
Average cost of food – There are plenty of cheap options throughout the city most meals are under $15. There are plenty of sandwich shops or fast food options for under $10. A week's necessities from the grocery store are about $40-60. A nice dinner with wine will cost you around $40. Comet Ping Pong is one of the best places to hang out in the city.
Transportation costs – The D.C. Metro is your best option for getting around D.C., since it travels all over the city. You can get a SmarTrip Metrorail Day Pass for $15. Buses are also a good option for transportation, and you can buy a SmarTrip 7-day unlimited pass for only $18. Taxis are a less cost effective option. There are many surcharges in D.C. on taxi rides, such as a $2 surcharge per passenger over 2 passengers. Taxis will cost you $14+, depending on the zone, so this tends to be an expensive option that adds up fast. Washington D.C. is serviced by both Uber and Lyft, with a base Uber ride fare of $7.
Suggested daily budget – $60-90 (Note: This is a suggested budget assuming you're staying in a hostel, eating out a little, cooking most of your meals, and using local transportation. By using the budget tips below, you can always lower this number and, if you stay in fancier accommodation or eat out more often, expect your budget to be higher!)
Money Saving Tips
- Visit the museums and monuments for free – Most of the museums in D.C. are free, due to a public funding initiative. The D.C. museums are some of the most incredible in the U.S. Along with all the museums the monuments are also free for viewing.
- Take a free walking tour – Free Tours By Foot offer free walking tours of the city. I suggest doing one of these when you arrive, so you can ask the tour guide all of your questions and get recommendations on what to do in the city.
- Check out the public performances – The Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage offers free performances on a nightly basis. Some theaters offer student and senior pricing and you can also save money by purchasing last-minute tickets.
- Free outdoor theater – During the summer months free outdoor movies have become popular and are offered at many places around the city.
- Find the cheap eats – Head over to Georgetown or DuPont Circle and enjoy great food at a great discount. DuPont circle also hosts a farmer's market every Sunday from April through December, so you can stock up on items for your stay.
- Book an apartment – Airbnb has gotten really popular in lots of cities in the US and D.C. is no different. You can usually find a really great deal, and I highly suggest this if you're traveling with a couple of people!
- Walk or take the metro – Cabs tend to add up quickly in D.C., but the metro is a pretty affordable option. Since most of the monuments and museums are in the central area, you can hit up many of them within walking distance.
- Visit embassies – Since so many embassies have offices in D.C., and love to promote their country's culture, you can find lots of activities that embassies are hosting. Take the time to visit other countries and sample music, history, and food.
- Leave the city center – While many of the free museums are downtown, so are the more expensive restaurants! With so many interesting neighborhoods just beyond the city center, it is worth a short metro ride to check out some of the amazing
- Save money on rideshares – Uber and Lyft (my preferred company) are way cheaper than taxis and are the best way to get around a city if you don't want to take a bus or pay for a taxi. The shared/pool option (where you share a ride with other people) offers even better savings. You can save money off your first rides with the following codes: Lyft (MATTHEW999 to save $10) and Uber (jlx6v to save $15).
Top Things to See and Do in Washington D.C.
- Explore the Smithsonian Museums – These museums contain information about everything. From the museum on space, history, nature, art, and more, you'll never be without something to learn. All the museums are free and they even have free WiFi. Two of the museums offer IMAX movies and if you save your stub, you can get a second movie for four dollars. The newly opened National Museum of African American History & Culture is something you shouldn't miss.
- Visit the Holocaust Museum – The Holocaust museum is both wonderful and heart-wrenching at the same time- wonderful because it is so well done and heart-wrenching because, well, it's the holocaust.
- Check out the monuments – All the major monuments are around the National Mall are free and you can spend a whole day can be spent seeing them. I'm a big fan of the Franklin D. Roosevelt monument – it's not that well known, it's relaxing and quiet, and not very crowded. There are so many monuments here that you'll be able to fill a good three or four days with them.
- Visit the Supreme Court – The Supreme Court is free to enter and there are 40-minute lectures in the main hall for free and will teach you about the history of the court and how it works.
- Tour the Capital Building – The Capital offers free tours throughout the day. Tickets are available at 8:30am on a first come first serve basis.
- Take a walk through Georgetown – Georgetown is the capital's historic waterfront, which today is bustling with activity. The area is a shopper's paradise and the streets are lined with restaurants from every ethnicity. Take a tour of historic sites, do some shopping and enjoy a meal at a local restaurant.
- Tour the White House – Take a tour of the spot where the most powerful person in the world lives. You have to apply in advance to get tickets through one's Member of Congress, so if this is a must-see for your trip you have to plan well ahead of your trip. If you are a citizen of a foreign country you need to arrange tours through your embassy in Washington D.C. You will be asked to provide security information several weeks before your tour to be approved, and submit several forms of identification for entry.
- Visit the National Zoo – A great activity, especially if you have kids. You can see a very wide selection of animals here and they often have special exhibits. Moreover, as part of the Smithsonian, this zoo is also free.
- Visit Arlington National Cemetery – Visit the memorial to war veterans and the resting places of President John F. Kennedy along with his wife Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and their two children, with brother Bobby nearby. An eternal flame marks JFK's grave. Nearby you can find the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
- Visit the Spy Museum – One of D.C.'s most popular attractions happens to be a pretty fun one – the International Spy Museum. Learn a thing or two about espionage through the museum's many interactive exhibits, artifacts and film clips. See shoes with fake bottoms, photos of infamous spies, and interviews with former intelligence officers. General admission adult tickets for the museum start at $22.
- See the cherry blossoms – If you're in Washington D.C. around March or April (or better yet, the transition between the two), you may be just in time for the Cherry Blossom Festival. The Tidal Basin has many cherry blossom trees, which were a gift from Japan to the United States. Their blossoming is marked by a celebration that includes concerts and fireworks. The flowers themselves are beautiful and make for wonderful photo opportunities.

Based after 3x11, picking up basically straight away. For a prompt on Tumblr.
Kim asked: After Emma drinks the potion and regains her memories, and is herself again, she realizes that Killian spent a year fighting for her, trying to get to her, loving her and she shows him how much that means to her. ;) Bonus: if "it" takes place in NY, specifically her loft.
Hope you all enjoy and please review :)
Here With Me
And I won't go, I won't sleep and I can't breathe,
Until you're resting here with me.
His hand itches to knock upon the door again, but he knows that she won't answer, that she will never let her eyes fall upon him again if she can help it. He had hoped that she would remember, that something within the complexities of their undefined relationship she would see him and just know that she is meant to spend the rest of her life with him.
But Charming had warned him of this. He had said how discouraged he had been when he'd kissed his love, his Snow White, and her reaction was to push him away. Well that was certainly a very familiar reality for him now.
It was remarkable what he could do when he followed his heart and not the blind revenge that had once driven him. Over three centuries he had spent trying to find a way off Neverland for the sake of murder, but in barely more than three hundred days he had managed to escape the curse of the Enchanted Forest for the sake of love. They needed her, not just him, but everyone. In the grips of another war they had sent him, armed with true love.
He just needs her to trust him. And doesn't that seem familiar.
His body falls against her door and he hears her voice, slightly confused and dazed, as she talks with Henry. And he wants nothing more than to be in there with her, to eat breakfast with her, sed Henry off to school and then spend the rest of the day ravishing her until she had no choice but to believe they had known each other previously. He sighs heavily, pushing himself to his feet and making his way downstairs, his hand in his pocket, fingers grazing across the small glass bottle of potion that Regina had made, potion that could very well restore Emma's memories.
She has to leave the building at some point, and while kissing her may not have left the best first impression, he's confident enough that she will give him another chance. After all, trust had blossomed between them even after everything they had been through before, so why did this have to be any different?
He takes a seat on a concrete bench by her doorstep, ignoring the way people look at him like he's a madman. He's not here for anyone but her, and he knows he is capable of waiting an excessively long time.
Her breath catches in her throat as she comes back to reality with a jolt, bracing her hand against the cool glass of the shower wall. She'd been caught off guard by thoughts of the man in black, the intensity in his gaze, the firmness of his kiss, the pure belief that he knew her. She hadn't even realised her mind had wandered until it was too late and her breathing had become laboured and uneven.
She has no idea why he's affecting her so much. It was just a kiss, barely even that. For a moment - not even a second - his lips had touched hers, and she blames of lack of social life for the way she had wanted to ease into it, but she knew that was bad. She had pulled away and kneed him fairly convincingly before she could be drawn in by this complete stranger. But in reality, she had been very drawn to him.
And that frightens her possibly more than the fact that she has potentially attracted a stalker.
He seems to be always there, outside her building, on her morning run in the park, on her train to work. He's just fitting into her life like he has nothing else to do and she can't even find it within herself to feel weird about that. It should be strange, it should be something that sets her on edge, that makes her want to call the cops. But she just deals with it.
He has an effect on her that she just doesn't understand, a grip on her emotions, on her heart. She's known him for less than a week, but she's never felt butterflies like this before. It's intense and unfathomable that she could have any feelings other than indifference towards this man, and yet as she continues to shower, she turns away from the mirror outside the glass because she knows that those are tears and not just water streaming down her face.
This time when she pushes him away, there is reinforcement there to back her up. He had been sprouting nonsense about her 'family' again, as though he knows something she doesn't and she'd been willing to let him continue if only for the time it allowed her to really look at him and figure out just how she knew him. But he'd crossed the line when he'd tried to get her to drink some 'potion' and really, for all the familiarity he seems to carry with him, she won't even accept drinks from men at a bar, let alone from pirate look-a-likes in broad daylight.
She does almost feel sorry for him as they clap the cuffs on him and escort him to the car. The look in his eyes is truly frightened and maybe he honestly believes what he's saying and that's why he's so sure she's a princess and her parents are battling with the wicked witch of the west in a magical faraway land. But it's crazy, it's ludicrous. And she can't buy into it. Because it's too beautiful to believe. Too wonderful.
She sucks in a breath and reassures the police officer who taps her on the shoulder, "Yes, I'm fine."
He hands her a card, "Ma'am, please call us if you have any other disturbances."
She smiles at the officer, but her eyes wander to the car as it drives past, Killian in the back seat, his eyes desperate and pleading.
It doesn't even take her an hour to call and ask how much bail is for the man who has intrigued her beyond words.
His entire face lights up as he steps out of the precinct, his hand rubbing against his wrist where the cuffs must have clipped. "Swan," he breathes, and it still makes her knees feel a little weak.
She smiles tightly at him, not really wanting to express how inexplicably happy she is to see him out of the holding cell, "This doesn't mean anything."
He just shakes his head in opposition, "Oh no, love. This means everything." He skips easily down the steps and comes to stand in front of her, "You feel it don't you?" His eyes explore hers, looking for the answer he knows she won't give to him.
Her hand reaches up seemingly of its own accord to cup his cheek, thumb brushing the dark stubble on his chin, "You just seem so familiar, but…"
His hand covers hers against his cheek, "Yes lass. Don't fight it."
But she hisses and pulls her hand away, "No. It can't be true. You're asking me to believe in fairytales."
He reaches into his pocket and pulls out the small blue bottle again, "You believed in them before. I'm merely asking you to remember them."
She looks down at the bottle and feels that strange sadness wash over her again, tears springing to her eyes without her permission. "There are so many things that make no sense in my life. Things I can't remember, things I don't understand." Her fingers reach out to the blue bottle, tracing it gently as though it's the most fragile thing in the world, "The things you're asking me to trust are fantasy, Killian. But I want to believe them."
She's on the edge of the choice, he can feel it and gently nudges her fingertips with the bottle, "Try."
Their eyes meet as her thumb pops the cap off the small vial of potion. He can see the trust swirling in her irises, beneath the fear, behind the disbelief. There's hope.
She only hesitates a moment before swigging the entire bottle's contents in less than a second. He waits with bated breath for what feels like hours and then her eyes flick up to his, all the fear and doubt gone. In its place is something he has only dared dream about, something he'd never assume until the words were spoken from her very lips.
He's never been so happy to hear his moniker, picking her up in a hug and swirling her around. She doesn't even care about the spectacle they are when he puts her back down, her hands coming up to either side of his face, his coming to rest at her waist. And they stay like this for the longest moment, just holding on.
He came back. He came back. He came back. It's the only thing she can think as they remain knotted around each other, his eyes fixed on hers, every emotion he ever dreamed of coming out in a rush. He always comes back, never leaving her stranded or scared – he always manages to find a way back to her.
"A whole year?" she finally asks.
"I could never let you go."
She smiles, her eyes glassy with tears, and speaks the words she has been too afraid to in the past, "I would never want you to."
He doesn't care that the last time was a 'one-time thing,' because they all know that's a lie. He doesn't care if she pushes him away or knees him or anything. All he wants is to feel his lips against hers in that moment. And so he kisses her.
His coat is already on the ground as they swing into her apartment, both thanking the high gods that Henry is staying with a friend. His lips are on her neck, kissing a pathway down her body, her shirt open and ripped to the side, her pants already with tear marks in them. For a man without his hook, he's sure making up for it. He just wants to feel her and she can relate.
It's frantic and messy and god it's good. Pieces of clothing disappear from both their bodies, torn carelessly, inches of fabric still clinging to a shoulder or a leg in their frenzy. Her fingers tighten around his thigh as her mouth breathes across his chest, biting, licking, tasting. It's been a year that they've missed out on and she wants to make it count for everything.
He hisses when her hands unlace his trousers, nimble fingers brushing his arousal, and then she is back at his mouth, kissing him like he's her air supply and she's in desperate need.
His pants fall to the ground with the weighty sound of leather. "Emma," he whispers against her lips, "Let me take care of you."
In the past she would have cringed if a man had used such a line, but with Killian. Oh with Killian. He had travelled realms (again), finding her (again), making her realise how much she was missing out on (again). Really, she figures that warrants him saying whatever he damn well pleases.
And well, it bloody turns her on.
She hitches a leg over his hip and he takes her hint, lifting her other limb to rest over the other side as she rises above him and they crash into a wall, his length jutting against her core and making their breaths hitch in their throats. It's barely a touch and she's already on fire. What he can do to her...it makes her heart ache in the most beautiful way. A year, she reminds herself, he had searched for her for an entire year.
And she knows he would have searched longer, knows that once he sets his mind to something he is so passionate about it.
She rolls her hips forwards again, feeling the heat of him against the heat of her, her wetness coating him, readying him for her. "I love you," she whispers and he barely hears it. But it's there and it's damn well real and he's been waiting so long to hear those words. To believe that he is even capable of being loved again is an unbelievable thing. To believe that he can be loved by the woman he loves in return is even more ludicrous.
But it's real.
He doesn't return the sentiment, not right now, because he knows that she knows. Actions are his voice and with a shaky breath, he pushes inside of her, his hand grasping for hers, fingers knotting together as they rise above her head.
"Oh god," she whimpers, her body stretching around him.
He pauses, his head resting on her shoulder, his fingers squeezing hers, "You're amazing, you know that? Bloody amazing."
A choked laugh escapes her and he looks up to find her eyes filled with unshed tears. Knowing they are tears of happiness makes his heart swell and he begins to move within her, pulling out and thrusting back in, feeling the build of heat between them, the delicate slide of her inner walls clasping onto him and never wanting to let go.
"More," she moans, her head rolling back against the wall as his hips move faster, jutting into her with such passion.
His hand leaves hers on the wall, tracing its way down her arm and across her chest, fingers rolling over a hardened nipple, her back arching into his touch causing the angle of him within her to change just slightly. He groans as he speeds up, his hand tracing further down her torso to just above where they are connected, thumb circling her clit, sending sparks flying through her body.
She wraps her arms around his neck, pulling herself closer to him, their chests sliding against one another, and maybe it's the change in angle, maybe it's the delicious friction, or the firm but gentle caress of his fingers on her most intimate parts, but it has her falling over the edge with a sharp cry in seconds, pulling him with her only moments later.
Her teeth sink into his neck as she rides out the waves of pleasure washing over her as his thumb still rubs soft circles against her to bring her down as slowly as possible. His hips still gently thrust forward, her tight walls milking him dry as they both breathe heavily, content and sated against the wall of her apartment.
"You think next time we could make it to the bed?"
He chuckles as he seems to realise they've barely made it inside the door, "We can do whatever you want to, lass."
She smiles at him, letting her feet drop to the ground and accepting his long kisses when he gives them, relishing in the simplicity of the moment and how wonderful he's making her feel. She's still the saviour and she knows that somewhere people she loves are in danger. But she's taking this excuse, this moment, because she needs it, she needs him to know what he means to her, what it means that he never gave up.
Her hand takes his and they make their way backwards, into her apartment, into her life. And when she closes the door to her bedroom behind them, he's on the same side.

"I quit, Mr. Favor." Rowdy Yates finished tying his bedroll to his saddle. He checked the Winchester Wishbone silently handed him, making sure the rifle was loaded before sliding it into the scabbard. Beside him, Gil Favor said nothing. It was as if the boss was waiting for Rowdy's explanation. After all, when Favor had hired him, Rowdy swore he could do the ramrod job. Back then, all of six days ago, he had been certain he could. Now, with what happened with the Diehl brothers, how he had hired them because the drive needed more men and they 'looked' like they could do the job, and how they'd come within a hairs-breadth of murdering Pete Nolan, Rowdy knew the job was beyond him.
"I got no sense when he comes to hirin' men. I didn't take the time to see past the horses and gear and my own need to hire on more help to get this drive started. I thought you'd be pleased by me takin' on the extra drovers." Rowdy looked up and into Favor's eyes. "Any fool with half a brain coulda seen the Diehls were trash, but not me…not me."
Favor rubbed a hand across his chin, the thick, two-day growth already well-on to a beard. "You talk to Pete Nolan about this?" He asked.
Rowdy shook his head. "No, but why should I?"
The boss took out fixins and rolled himself a smoke. He took his time about it, getting it just perfect before touching a match to the tip. Rowdy wished he'd hurry up and get on with answering the question. Favor inhaled deeply, the smoke curling from his nose and fanning out about his head. "You're feelin' guilty. Nolan mighta gotten killed by men you hired. You oughta talk to Pete and see how he feels about it…see if he holds you to blame."
Yates seemed less than enthusiastic about the prospect, but he made no move to step up into the saddle and leave, as had been his intent. "Talk to Nolan," Favor repeated, "if you still wanta quit after that, I won't stop you."
For some moments Rowdy stared after Favor's retreating back. Maybe the boss was right. Maybe it was guilt that tore so at him. He didn't even know Pete Nolan, but Gil Favor did, and Joe Scarlet and Jim Quince, knew him and liked him. Maybe it was time Rowdy Yates took advantage of other men's knowledge and stopped trying to do everything on his own.
Rowdy found Pete Nolan sleeping on the far side of the supply wagon. He was glad the newly hired scout was asleep, that way he could check out his condition without Nolan being any the wiser. Pete's face, even in the wagon's shadow, showed overlapping bruises in varying shades of black, blue and green. As he shifted his body to a more comfortable spot, Nolan caught his breath and swore softly. He opened his one good eye and blinked up at Rowdy. Yates felt his face color in embarrassment.
"Um, sorry, Nolan…I didn't mean to wake you," Rowdy stammered. He ran a hand nervously back through his thick, unkempt hair. "I…I just." Exasperated, Rowdy shook his head. "I need to ask a question is all."
Pete struggled to sit up and with a bit of assistance from Rowdy he relaxed back against his propped-up saddle. "That's better. I'd rather talk sittin' up than layin' down like some sorta invalid." Nolan grinned in a friendly manner. "Ask away."
Pete's smile was lopsided and almost painful to look upon due to the battered features, but Rowdy judged the expression genuine. Perhaps speaking to the scout wouldn't be so bad after all. He joined Pete, sitting directly across from him, on the hard ground.
"I guess the only way to do this is jump right in, so…I need to know if you hold me responsible for the Diehl brothers…um, for what the Diehl brothers almost did to you last night."
Pete looked questioningly at Rowdy. "You think I blame you for last night? Why, because you hired them boys on?"
Rowdy nodded. "My judgment was poor and my reason for hirin' the Diehls was purely flawed." Yates stared hard at the ground, unable to look into the face of the man he figured he wronged. "We needed more drovers…I hired them to impress Mr. Favor. I never once thought to check 'em out or to be suspicious of 'em. I didn't think."
Pete solemnly shook his head. "I don't blame nobody but myself for what happened with the Diehls. If anybody made trouble for Pete Nolan last night, it was Pete Nolan."
Rowdy Yates felt the weight of the world lift from his sagging shoulders. He actually smiled, which had the scout grinning right along with him. "Let's just say we both made a mistake when it came to the Diehls," Pete said. "And like my pa always told us kids…if you learn something from a mistake, then it ain't been a lesson wasted."
The young ramrod thought for a moment before replying. "Well, then, Mr. Nolan, your Pa'll be glad to know this lesson ain't been wasted. "
"It's Pete, Rowdy," the scout corrected, "and next time I see Pa I'll tell him…for both of us!"
Rowdy stood before Gil Favor, hat in hand, a man on a mission. In a clear, unwavering voice he recanted his previous announcement. "I changed my mind about quittin', Mr. Favor," he said. "I want to stay on as ramrod of this drive."
"You talked to Pete, then?" Favor asked.
"Yes, sir, I did. He don't hold me responsible for the Diehls."
Favor nodded. "That sounds like Pete." The boss reached into his breast pocket and pulled out a thin, dark cigarillo, which he lit. Rowdy thought as how the boss sure smoked a lot, but naturally allowed the thought to pass without comment. Favor inhaled deeply and a look of utter satisfaction transformed his expression from serious to calmly peaceful. "You think you're up to the ramrod job now, no more doubts?"
"Doubts? I still got plenty, Mr. Favor, but I figure what mistakes I do make…"
At that statement, the boss lifted a single eyebrow, but waited for Yates to finish the sentence before commenting.
"What mistakes I do make I'll learn from and I won't make the same mistake twice, Boss. You can count on it." Rowdy placed his battered Stetson on his head, pulling the stampede string tight beneath his chin.
Favor ground out the remains of his smoke beneath his boot and the calm serenity of moments before vanished, as the serious, 'boss' expression settled firmly onto the chiseled features. "You're damned right you won't make the same mistake twice," he stated firmly. "I'll see to that, and Rowdy," Favor poked his index finger perilously close to Yates' chest, "no more quitting. From this day on, if you leave this drive it'll be at my discretion, not yours!"
Rowdy's head bobbed in agreement and a grin lit his boyish features. "Yes, sir, Boss. No more quitting! I understand…absolutely."
Feedback is oh so kindly encouraged and appreciated! Thanks!

Between Washington and New
York interest was divided in the
showing of Waltet Johnson, Prank
Baker and Lee Magee. Johnson held
the Yanks to five hits-4n 11 innings
and struck out ten. Baker got two
hits and Magee one. Milan busted
a homer for Washington, and Mor

National lineup, belted three hits and
accounted for two markers.
Minus Speaker, the world's cham

pitching a bang-up game. Shorten
and Walker, Carigan's new outfield

Bush pitched for Mack and were ef
fective. Stuffy Mclnniss was off with
two doubles.
In Philadelphia, Alexander got off
to a win, and Benny Kauff failed to
hit Anderson and Rari'den, Feder
als, were the Giant battery. Roush,
another Fed, cracked two of the
Giant hits. Each member of the
Philly team was presented with a
gold watch before the game.
Larry Cheney thought he would
pitch Brooklyn to a victory, but he
had the same trouble that marred his
work here. No man can win in the
big leagues when his record for one
game shows five bases on balls and
three wild pitches. Sherry Magee
poked Larry for a single, double and
triple. Rudolph for the Braves was a
puzzle. StalUngs used WUhoit, his
coast star, in the outfield. Snod
grass was on the bench. Konetchy
showed his contempt for National
league pitching with a couple of hits.
Jimmy Callahan has started with
a loss, but his Pirates played well. A
squeeze play won for the Cardinals.
Old Hans Wagner blew open his
year's work with three singles and is
out for another .300 mark.
