As one passes by an exhibit or comes across a gallery of pictures that were done in black and white, they see contrast and behind each layer of contrast, there's a hidden depth to them. They are deceivingly simple for the shortly perceived viewers yet they are equally captivating for some who can see the beauty or truth beneath them. Being said, these photographs seem to beg you to see through them and test your perception.
Well, Philippines, my country, you've done it again as you'd always do everywhere. You'd capture my attention in all the possible scenarios you'd present yourself to the world and with all your hidden facets of beauty and ugliness hidden from humanity unless one dares to explore them. It has been one of the touristic bunch of countries yet you trouble me with the optimistic dream when some people may they be leaders or followers or lone wolves, stagnate your development.
To me, you are a black and white photograph, and not this colorful thought that is being painted in commercials. You have deceivingly implanted into the minds of the people be it our own or others' that you are a paradise, a magnificent wonder, when all the while, you have strings attached, that will either make you fall, or be succumbed to the limited development that are both controlled by some people. You are a country that has bent itself to power, as I'd imagine "Ibong Adarna" being locked up in a cage. It is as if the people are proud of having you yet won't let you grow to what is beyond their expectations. You are the adoration of many yet it only ends there…
Just as an adoration of a great distant past.

I wanted to share my story about living in Nevada. Maybe this will represent a position felt by others living there. I recently moved away to North Carolina following the collapse of the housing market, in Reno, NV. My home sits vacated, after I was laid off from a job. So here is my story:
I was a California transplant chasing low home prices and work, after an economic decline in California. I worked as management for most of the major hotels & casinos in Reno, NV. Upon moving to Nevada I learned that the work force is suppressed. They view their employers as absolute GODS, that will fire them immediately for going against the grain. In fact, most of the employees believed it was a "right-to-work" state and employers could in fact fire them for any reason. The employee had no idea this was actually an incorrect statement, so I corrected them and empowered them when I could.
I was asked by my employers to do some things in employment that I believed violated the rights of employees, and was told if I didn't I would lose my job. I took note, and proceeded in a manner that would accomplish the end result, without violating any laws. This explains why I bounced around employer to employer so often, as the moral character of these companies did not match my own. You may wonder what I was asked to do:
1.) Fire someone because they were old and slow.
2.) Assist in training underage non licensed gaming employees to work in a gaming positions.
3.) To not bring up that my boss allowed underage employees to drink alcohol with him, while on the clock, with employees on shifts I managed that I was responsible for.
4.) To overlook that Housekeeping departments were being outsourced to companies where "illegals" were being hired, and given false identifications by those companies.
5.) To overlook that Human Resource Departments were creatively subverting United States Code on hiring "exchange students" by systematically eliminating and laying off american employees, renaming the positions, creating altered work requirements that effectively did the same job as the eliminated positions.
To make a long story short. I did try using the government to remedy some of these situations. The gaming commission investigated the incidents, and the police agencies said they had no jurisdiction over people serving alcohol to minors, they referred me to the gaming commision who referred me back to the police. I contacted the EEOC regarding the firing of an employee, and was told I needed proof and my statement alone would not prompt an investigation.
I lost faith in government protecting our intrests at that point, resigned my position and moved away. If I'm paying taxes shouldn't these agenies bend over backwards to assist and not pawn me off to another agency. Most of the agencies I visited sat idle, 5 people in an office, talking to each other doing absolutely nothing.
Ron Paul is the only candidate that will put an end to this. Eliminate useless functions of the government and put the control back into the peoples hands, allowing them to hold their local governments, of which, they have access to responsible for correcting corruption in their community.

Metabolites are defined as the products of metabolism. When drugs are ingested and metabolized by the body, the remaining residues (metabolites) of the drugs may remain in the body for days or even weeks, long after any effects of the drugs have disappeared. In other words, chemical testing of blood or urine may reveal evidence of drug use long before any encounter with law enforcement. Despite the fact that you no longer have any active drug chemical compounds or ingredients in your bloodstream and that metabolite residues do not impair your abilities in any way, the mere existence of any measurable metabolites will result in a charge of DUI. Convictions under this code do not require proof of impaired driving, positive metabolite tests results are all that the prosecution is required to prove to convict the unfortunate driver of a Metabolite DUI.
The charge is itself an oxymoron, a charge for being under the influence when in fact the metabolites have no influence on mood, perceptions or motor skills. As drug laws are liberalizing around Utah, this law will eventually be stricken, but for the time being it remains the law.

Performing is all in the family
Published 1:00 am, Monday, February 27, 2006
Brookfield siblings
Fallon Oeser
, 10, her brother Seamus, 8, and sister Anna, 6, have found something they all like doing together.
It's called showbiz.
"It makes me happy just to be on stage, but it's also fun to be together," Seamus said between numbers in the trio's latest stage venture, "Broadway Bound," now playing weekends through March 12 at the
Portuguese Cultural Center
in Danbury.
The Oeser children are among 40 young performers who sing and dance their way through a medley of highlights from Broadway shows.
It's not the first time they've starred together, and it probably won't be the last.
"My husband takes them to open auditions so they can see a show in its early stage and follow it through to fruition," said the children's mother, Katie Oeser.
She said her daughter, Fallon, a fourth-grader at
Huckleberry Hill Elementary School
in Brookfield, is smitten with the theater.
"In her mind she's heading for Broadway and she's doing whatever it takes to get there," said Katie Oeser.
Fallon nodded in agreement.
"I've seen a lot of Broadway shows and met a lot of theater people who've inspired me," said Fallon, who likes playing the piano and hockey when she's not on stage.
"It's a challenge, and I know it's going to take a lot of hard work getting there, but I'll just have to grin and bear it," Fallon said.
Seamus, a second-grader at Huckleberry Hill who likes to play hockey and baseball, isn't yet sure whether he'll make it a career.
"I don't know what I'll do yet, but whatever it is, I think I'll always want to dance," said Seamus.
Katie Oeser remembers the day her children first caught the stage bug.
"Fallon was in first grade, and
Linda Davies
, who choreographed 'Broadway Bound,' was looking for children to be in a show at
Brookfield High School
," she said. "Fallon was recommended by her music teacher, and Seamus also got a part in the ensemble."
Other shows followed, including a production of "Show Boat" at Richter Park two summers ago and "Once Upon an Island" at the Portuguese Cultural Center.
"That was Anna's debut with them," said Katie Oeser. "She had a singing role."
Katie Oeser and her husband, Russell, who works for Swiss Reinsurance in Armonk, N.Y., have a fourth child, Maximilian, 3.
Katie said enjoys seeing her children on stage.
"It's nice that they all have the same interests," she said. "It makes life easier for me."
Katie Oeser has had a taste of the theater herself. Her sister, Susan, is a nurse by training but likes to do stand-up comedy in her spare time.
As for her daughter, Anna, the trio's newest member, it's a fun way of growing up.
"I like to dance and sing," Anna said. "It's also nice we get to be together and share the same thing. I like it."
"Broadway Bound" runs Friday, Saturday and Sunday through March 12 at the Portuguese Cultural Center, 65 Sand Pit Road in Danbury. For information and reservations call (203) 470-7528 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

PRO/CON VIEW: Should Texas allow DWI checkpoints?
Published 1:00 am, Wednesday, December 5, 2012
OUR VIEW: Just say no
Drunken driving is a serious menace in Texas, but that doesn't justify extreme measures like sobriety checkpoints.
Unfortunately, that is what has been proposed before the Texas House Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence. Our representatives should keep Texas as one of the 12 states that do not allow these checkpoints.
Despite their good intentions, these checkpoints violate the rights of many innocent people in hopes of catching a few lawbreakers. Would you support police roadblocks looking for people with illegal guns or outstanding warrants? That's not the way a free society operates.
Checkpoints are also prone to abuse, such as the proposal to set them up near "hot spots" where drunken driving is prevalent. That could lead to police targeting certain places for the wrong reasons - or giving a pass to owners with political connections.
Texas has many valid ways to fight drunken driving. We should focus on them without trampling other rights.
ANOTHER VIEW: Bring 'em on
Texas needs sobriety checkpoints for many reasons, but even the strongest defenders of individual rights will have a hard time refuting this one: Texas has nearly twice as many deaths - 1,259 - from crashes involving drunk drivers as each of the next states on this list, California and Florida.
And guess what? Both of those states permit sobriety checkpoints that have undoubtedly stopped many accidents before they happen. Texas needs to join them, instead of forcing law enforcement to react to tragedies that could be prevented.
Most police officers and deputies know the roads in their jurisdictions that have a higher percentage of drunk drivers - and when they are behind the wheel. Checkpoints at those locations would pay off - and discourage other drivers from drinking too much.
Sobriety checkpoints are no more a violation of individual rights than airport security screenings. The sooner we can set them up, the more lives we will save.
FEEDBACK: What do you think? Should Texas allow DWI checkpoints? Post your comment below now!

Skip to comments.Berkeley Police Visit Reporter Over OWS Story
Posted on 03/16/2012 6:29:21 PM PDT by Nachum
If police chiefs send armed officers to a journalist's door because he didn't like what was written abut him, would you feel just a tad uncomfortable as an American at the audacity? This is no academic discussion because it really happened. Not in what liberals may claim is the dangerous, intolerant south but instead in the heart of liberal land itself, Berkeley, California. Worse, one of the reasons this whole situation arose is because police were too distracted by an Occupy Berkeley protest to respond to an incident that ended up in the murder of a 67-year-old resident.
But first, on Friday, Feb. 9, Berkeley Police Chief Michael Meehan sent an armed officer to the door of Bay Area News Group reporter Doug Oakley at nearly one in the morning to demand that he publish a correction about something the reporter had written about the Berkeley police department.
The Oakland Tribune notes that reporter Oakley at first thought there was a death in his family or some emergency when he opened the door to a policeman at 12:45 AM but was shocked when the officer presented the reporter with the chief's demands for changes in a published article.
First Amendment activists are not amused by the chief's intimidation tactics:
Meehans's actions were "despicable, totally despicable," said Jim Ewert, general counsel of the California Newspaper Publisher's Association. "It's the most intimidating type of (censorship) possible because the person trying to exercise it carries a gun."
Chief Meehan has been under fire for what residents feel was his "slow response" to the murder of Berkeley homeowner Peter Cukor who was murdered by a man with mental problems as the victim's wife watched in horror. Mr. Cukor had initially called the Berkeley police on a non-emergency line when he saw someone skulking

That is classic, OMG...!! hahahahahh...!
JUST WOW...!!! Vintage Stasi..!
Scot Walker was right about public employee union thugs.
I read your piece and I think that, oh hey NICE PAJAMAS...!

Huffington Post Screens all posts prior to post.
See the pattern?
Normal leftwing behavior
Ohmy, he must be one im-pooo-tent jerkoff !
I wonder what this smug self important little 4 star twat makes?
He should be billed for the time the officer spent on the call.
And the $ should be taken from his last paycheck on the way out.
Typical 4 star ranks are Commander US European Command, and Chief of Police Berkeley Police Department.
The journalist can sue the police officer who came to his door with the threat, as well as the Police Chief, for IIED - Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress, and for extortion.
Cukor's family should sue the Occupy Berkeley movement and any identifiable leader, spokesman or member, for causing violence demonstrations which pulled police manpower away from being available to respond to criminal activity elsewhere.
The police chief and the officer who delivered the threat should both be arrested.
Well, he is a 4 star general. He likes buttons, whistles, lights. Lots of lights. Lots of noise makers. And he has those crazy eyes.
is that really the doofus who sent them to her door at 1AM
I would have filed a complaint and a lasw suit the next day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HE would be without a badge before I was through
"The police chief and the officer who delivered the threat should both be arrested."
This whole post is old news. Today, Berkeley hired an outside lawyer to investigate what the BPD Chief did. They did hire one of the biggest liberals in San Francisco to look into the matter so it may end up being a white wash though.
Most Chiefs I have seen have one or two stars. This guy looks like an general of a South American army.
And he has crazy, whacked out eyes....
i hope you are filling your gillet with green beer and Guiness tonight.
Thank you for Nachumlist.
Beer yes. Green..... that may be my face if I drink too much :)
The city of Berzerkeley has hired a law firm and private investigators to scan the conduct of their Chief of police.

(AP Photo/Kevork Djansezian, pool)
Mariah Carey has appeared on TV to apologize again for her shaky performance at Michael Jackson's memorial service, because she feels she has "let everybody down".
The singer was the first singer to take the stage at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Tuesday as the city came to a standstill to officially mourn the King of Pop's sudden death.
Carey sang classic Jackson 5 hit "I'll Be There" at the service, but struggled to hit the notes and looked tearful throughout her set.
The star subsequently took to her Twitter.com page to apologize for the performance, insisting she battled to hold back her sobs after spotting Jackson's gold coffin below the stage.
And the singer is still wracked with guilt over her efforts, appearing on "Today" on Wednesday to explain her disappointment at the way she sang.
She said, "I feel a little bit like I let everybody down, but I really did try and it was difficult."
However, the Carey insists the embattled set showed just how much Jackson's passing had affected her.
She added, "But you know what I think? It was a true and honest emotional moment."

|Blood Safety and AIDS: UNAIDS Point of View (UNAIDS, 1997, 8 p.)
Educate, motivate, recruit and retain low-risk donors
WHO, together with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and the International Society of Blood Transfusion, strongly recommend that the principle of voluntary, non-remunerated donations should be accepted and practised.
Getting people to give blood for no remuneration - whether in money or something that can be exchanged for money - is difficult. It needs an effective and ongoing campaign to persuade large numbers of the public to give blood voluntarily, out of public spirit, and regularly - that is to say, motivating and recruiting them.
Educating people about what being a blood donor means is also important, so that prospective donors can self-select and self-defer. Self-selection means excluding themselves from giving blood if they know or think they may be infected. Self-deferral is putting off, perhaps only temporarily, blood donation if there are reasons to do so - because of a recent illness, perhaps.
When donors present themselves at blood donation centres, they need to be interviewed by trained staff, so that those who appear to have a high risk of being infected are excluded. Selecting donors is thus an important part of the process.
And retaining voluntary, non-remunerated blood donors in the system is a key step on the way to achieving a safe and sufficiently large blood supply.
Such an operation needs good guidelines and operating procedures. For instance, the confidentiality of the donors must be guaranteed. The staff who are going to recruit donors and to counsel and select them before taking their blood need themselves to be appointed and trained. Donors need educational materials about what it means to be a blood donor and about the transfusion system. And a good recording system for donors has to be set up.
Screen blood and blood products
It is essential that all countries move quickly towards screening all blood and blood products -and for all the main diseases that can spread through transfusions, including HIV. This involves using the most appropriate and effective tests and adhering to internationally-approved guidelines to ensure the quality and safety of blood. Often, more than one type of test is recommended for a particular disease. In the case of HIV, WHO has testing strategies to help countries decide how to screen blood.
A national screening programme presents considerable logistical problems, which can only be overcome through good organization. Such problems include the distribution and storage of reagents and other materials used in testing blood, and storage of the blood itself. Donated blood, for instance, can be kept for a maximum of 35 days if special anticoagulants are used, but needs to be stored at a constant temperature of between +2 °C and +8 °C. And plasma - after being separated from whole blood - must be frozen within a few hours and kept at a temperature of -20 °C or lower. But while facilities may often exist in large cities, suitable refrigeration may not be available in rural or remoter areas - perhaps because electricity is lacking. Or it may be difficult to obtain or store materials used in blood screening, or anticoagulants.
Reduce unnecessary and inappropriate transfusions
Blood transfusions save many lives - but they should also be used with care. There is a risk of infection as well as of other adverse reactions from transfusions. And inappropriate transfusions waste precious blood that could be used elsewhere. Shortages of available blood encourage paid donors to appear - something that one definitely wants to avoid.
· Doctors and other medical staff should be educated to avoid prescribing inappropriate transfusions.
· Blood substitutes should be used where appropriate. Simple alternatives to blood, such as crystalloids (that is, saline solution) or colloids, will not transmit infection and can be obtained at a fraction of the cost of whole blood.
· The underlying reasons for blood transfusions should be addressed. A condition for which blood transfusions are often given is chronic anaemia - a lack of red blood cells that carry oxygen to the tissues. Chronic anaemia can be caused by malnutrition, slow loss of blood, and infections such as malaria. If we attack the root causes of chronic anaemia we can reduce the condition itself. We can do this by improving nutrition and giving supplements; controlling malaria; and raising health standards generally in society. Another condition where blood is often needed is complications in childbirth. By ensuring proper care for women before and during delivery, we can again decrease the need for transfusions.
A national blood transfusion service
A national blood transfusion service means making all transfusion centres and blood banks part of a national network, accountable to the government or else to a government-appointed nonprofit organization.
Having a national service makes all the other measures for ensuring safe blood much more possible. Such systems exist in some developed countries, and in several developing ones. It is no coincidence that in places with a good national service, the blood supply is considered safe. As an example from southern Africa, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Zambia have national blood transfusion services, while most of their neighbours do not. The blood supply in these countries is regarded as safe.
The service must be developed within the framework of the country's health service and have an adequate budget and trained staff. For it to be successful, there has to be a national system of regulations. Regular independent monitoring of the blood transfusion service is highly important.
The charge for blood should be agreed in annual negotiations between the government and the blood transfusion service.
This is a recovery fee for the service provided, and covers items such as testing, staff salaries, other running costs and capital spending. However, the blood or blood product itself should be free for those receiving transfusions, or paid for by a health insurance scheme, for example.
One can never be 100% sure that blood is free of HIV. But with political commitment, good organization, sufficient funding, and donation of blood from low-risk, voluntary, non-remunerated donors, a national blood supply can be made so safe that the chances of becoming infected through a transfusion are extremely minute.
UNAIDS acknowledges the kind assistance of Dr Jean Emmanuel, Chief of the Blood Safety Unit at WHO, in preparing this publication.

A few years back, Bali had been on my blacklist. The sheer mention of it made my skin crawl due to a pathetic correlation between an ex's ex-girlfriend, who was Indonesian and too close for comfort. Finally happy, when this time came round, that ex's ex equation amounted to zero.
Bali came back on my must-do list, resulting in a wonderful, albeit drunken, weekend celebrating common birthdays with friends. Four days were not enough for me. I was immediately taken by the spirits. I felt them in the lushness of the vegetation, the appearance of delicate creatures in the middle of the city, the omnipresent figures of gods decorated in carnations, enveloped in incense. They were in the way the people spoke and smiled and in the honest daily offerings that lined the sidewalks — these little trays made out of leaves, filled with colorful flowers, crackers and even, strangely, cigarettes, or anything that was important to them … the pockets of Eden hidden amid busy roads whose tall cement walls — almost dismal — do their job all too well in rendering these magnificent villas unassuming.
From the old to the modern there's a divine sense of aesthetics that called to me. I had to go back. There was no doubt that for my crazy, all-girl bachelorette weekend, this had to be the place. We were hungry for adventure! Just in case you feel inspired to get lost in Bali with some friends, I've come up with some tips.
• Live in a villa. Why stay in a hotel when you can stay in a villa? Villa Samuan was just breathtaking: five bedrooms decorated tastefully with contemporary art, contrasting with rich hardwood. Antiques are placed poignantly in alcoves; expansive marble bathrooms and beautiful lighting; a modern yet peaceful garden with a pool so inviting. Make that two pools because this villa can be split into two separate villas, one with three bedrooms and one with two bedrooms. At extremely reasonable rates with an amazing staff such as our superhero Komang, who became our DJ, chef, driver and all-around guardian angel, why stay anywhere else? It's so just so wonderful to have a place you can call your home for a few days.
• Go with the flow. Our itinerary started with just a few girls coming in on the first night for a relaxed and calm evening in a beautiful restaurant called Metis. The intentional operative word was "calm†and yet the evening was not. Yes, the common exclamation was, "Oh, yes, let's take it chill tonight so we can go do some sightseeing and shopping tomorrow.†"Yes! Just a nice dinner and maybe some wine.†"Agree! Let's save ourselves for the weekend.†Upon arrival at Metis, the excitement heightened. The open veranda looked out onto a large lotus pond lined with little fairy lights. The architecture was airy and fresh, the artwork interesting. The food was pretty, well executed, not exactly memorable but overall pleasant and an excellent accompaniment to the lovely surroundings. My olive oil salmon confit was wonderful and the service was impeccable, indulging my request to have a half portion of a main course as an appetizer. The crab ravioli with salmon roe was worth the trouble. A friend of mine came to join us for drinks, and one of my girlfriends happened to meet one of Metis' owners. One cocktail led to another and our "calm evening†turned into rounds of cheap tequila shots at Balijoe's, stealing hats and feather boas from the drag queens' dressing room! J. Lo songs will never be the same again as we danced in love on stage and around town, ending in enjoyably sketchy Maria Magdalena, for more overpriced cheap alcohol and sexy soulful house music. Bali is like those choose-your-own-adventure books. You'll never know where you'll end up, and more often than not, you'll like where you do!
• Booze wisely. Indonesia is a Muslim nation, and Bali is a Hindu-Buddhist enclave. Alcohol is heavily taxed and your run-of-the-mill standard Australian grocery chardonnay is priced like a pleasant Cru Bourgeois. Liquor and cocktails was the way to go. We often started the afternoon with gin tonics and fresh lime margaritas by our villa pool, and indulged in potent cocktails in the restaurants. Metis had a wonderful mojito made with Prosecco that was dangerously delicious and highly effective. Mamasan also had some amazing cocktails with Asian spins on classics like mint juleps and Old Fashioneds. Our go-with-the-flow attitude led us to having a villa party with our newfound friends, who brought over ingredients for a rocking Bloody Mary. Pablo Fourcard, chef-owner of Watercress Café, had brought some kind of roasted tomato concoction that added such depth to the usually watered-down run-of-the-mill tomato juice. While I didn't get to go to the actual café (whose Instagram photos leave my mouth watering every day), I can definitely vouch for this gorgeous brewage. When you're out clubbing, however, make a beeline for the shots or beer, if you do have mixed drinks. Watch carefully as they prepare as sometimes things may slip into your drinks. Only accept drinks from people you trust or pay for your own. Following these simple guidelines will get you home drunk … but safe.
• Do not look for McDonald's at 4 a.m. On all four nights I had a quest for food. I only made it the first night with delivery in the villa, not a good idea as it comes so soggy but you're too hungry to care and you regret everything the following morning. One of the nights had me rummaging through leftover boxes of McDonald's, shaking each chicken nugget carton forlornly to see if there was a forgotten piece. Not my most glorious moment. Another night led me on an adventure to Kuta (!) because the driver didn't know there was McDonald's in Seminyak. After 20 minutes of highway, I asked to please turn back because I freaked out, resulting in the driver telling my friend, "I take her to McDo, but she no eat! Why she no eat?!†and me finishing the evening still hungry, eating stale potato chips off the villa couch. That's definitely rock bottom. My advice? Eat a hearty dinner. Don't try to even diet. And no. Don't go looking for McDonald's in Bali.
• You must do Mamasan. One of the prettier restaurants I've been to. An imposing dramatic mural of what looks like a geisha, tall ceilings, soft lighting, contrasts of textures and a two-way staircase that towers over everyone. Owned by the same group as Sarong. The food is portioned into tapas sizes, which was perfect for my hungry bunch of friends. We ordered everything and then ordered some more. Everything was spectacular. Great bold flavors, different textures but I must say, while everyone raves about the crispy roast pork, it was those darn lamb ribs that I couldn't keep my hands off. All etiquette went out the window as six ravenous ladies pounced on those crispy falling-off-the-bone ribs. A little chili, a little lime … just absolute heaven.
• Dance, dance, dance! The music that weekend was spectacular, the nightlife electrifying. From the pop anthems at the gay bars to the amazing electro set at Hu'u Bar to the sexy deep house of Maria Magdalena and Mint to the retro eclectic beats at Potato Head to the tantric vintage folk-rock acts at Mantra … you must dance. Let the joyful energy take over your body and just dance like you've never danced before. It was 6 p.m. at Potato Head Beach Club, everyone was lounging, the sun softly kissed our faces, the waves crashed wildly on the black sand shore … I couldn't help myself, my eyes closed. Let the music fill your soul and rush to your limbs. Every moment I was itching to dance. Chances are no one knows you, so feel free to let go and move with the earth. I came back re-energized, with a rekindled love for music and every morning I have my little private dance to re-energize myself for the day. Utterly exhilarating! Dancing on bars and ledges like I did is optional.
• Meditate, ponder, reflect. The water was neither warm nor cool; its temperature nestled comfortably in that magical zone just ever so slightly above body temperature. The sun shone brightly in all the right places and the palm trees cast dancing shadows on the vibrant jade-colored grass. Little butterflies floated about, landing every so often on the moss-covered statues of local deities. The muffled sound of happy music was carried by the wind. To my left were three of my closest friends, clothed in robes sharing some gossip, languidly smoking cigarettes. To my right were another few of them roasting beautifully in the sun, their sheer relaxation punctured by peals of laughter and giggles over something so delightfully silly. At that very moment, I knew that two more were en route and that one of them had missed her flight the day before but had managed somehow to be up in the air on her way to us, despite the arduous 12-hour round-trip journey for barely 40 hours of girl time. It came to my mind at that moment that in today's fast-paced life, where our most major concerns are work and for many, the constant search for love and romance — and whatever time we may have left over we split among our family and ourselves — we often take friendship for granted. We feel that true friends will be there no matter what and yet just like most relationships, they need to be nurtured. I could not think of any better place than where we were to do so: to forge bonds, to spill tears, to go up in arms together in the face of adventure in our little slice of heaven in Bali.

Surprising Risk Factors for Heart Disease in Women
The New England Journal of Medicine just published a new study on the effects of radiation therapy on women who are being treated for breast cancer and the news is disturbing. Women who receive radiotherapy for breast cancer have a higher risk of ischemic heart disease.
The authors studied 2168 women who had radiotherapy for breast cancer between 1958 and 2001 in Sweden and Denmark. Within 5 years of receiving the radiation the women began having heart problems and this finding continued for over 20 years after the radiation.
Not surprisingly, the greater the radiation dosage, the higher the risk of heart disease. The risk was greatest for women with preexisting cardiac risk factors. The good news is that since this study was done, the dosages of radiation women are exposed to have been lowered.
To me, this is a double whammy for women because most breast cancer occurs after menopause and estrogen is typically discouraged in women who have breast cancer. Estrogen seems to lower the risk of heart disease if started shortly after menopause. The removal of estrogen as a treatment option denies women the cardioprotective benefits of estrogen.
Until we find out the impact on heart disease of lower dosages of radiation in use today, this study provides women another important topic to discuss with her physician when considering treatment.
Because heart disease is often a silent disease in women, view the video interview I did with Dr. Puja Mehta of Ceders Sinai Medical Center about how you can know if you have heart disease – you may be surprised.

What does idempotent mean?
Definitions for idempotentˈaɪ dəmˈpoʊt nt, ˈɪd əm-
Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word idempotent.
Princeton's WordNet
unchanged in value following multiplication by itself
"this matrix is idempotent"
An idempotent ring or other structure
Describing an action which, when performed multiple times, has no further effect on its subject after the first time it is performed.
Said of an element of an algebraic structure (such as a group or semigroup) with a binary operation: that when the element operates on itself, the result is equal to itself.
Every group has a unique idempotent element: namely, its identity element.
Said of a binary operation: that all of the distinct elements it can operate on are idempotent (in the sense given just above).
Since the AND logical operator is commutative, associative, and idempotent, then it distributes with respect to itself. (This is useful for understanding one of the conjunction rules of simplification to Prenex Normal Form, if the universal quantifier is thought of as a "big AND".)
Origin: roots, – literally, "having the same power".
The New Hacker's Dictionary
[from mathematical techspeak] Acting as if used only once, even if used multiple times. This term is often used with respect to C header files, which contain common definitions and declarations to be included by several source files. If a header file is ever included twice during the same compilation (perhaps due to nested #include files), compilation errors can result unless the header file has protected itself against multiple inclusion; a header file so protected is said to be idempotent. The term can also be used to describe an initialization subroutine that is arranged to perform some critical action exactly once, even if the routine is called several times.

Our Southbound Voyage departs from Tromsø. Take part in one of our optional winter excursions, or visit the northernmost brewery. After embarkation in the late evening, the ship will travel toward the Lofoten islands.
The journey past the beautiful Vesterålen Islands toward the spectacular Lofoten Islands is for many the highlight of the trip. Between Sortland and Stokmarknes, you can see the famous Møysalen mountain, which has inspired numerous artists over the years. As we sail south through Vesterålen, we seemingly head straight toward a mountain wall, but there is an opening there: Raftsundet, which leads to the bewitchingly-narrow Trollfjord.

RENO, Nev. & BONADUZ, Switzerland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hamilton Robotics in collaboration with GE Healthcare Life Sciences introduces the easyPunch STARlet™ workstation, the first fully automated system integrating sample card punching and liquid handling into one easy workflow.
"Because many labs lack a fully automated workflow, thousands of samples such as blood and saliva placed on punch cards are waiting long periods to be processed for critical studies and forensic analysis"
The easyPunch STARlet system, manufactured in Hamilton's Bonaduz, Switzerland facility, seamlessly integrates punching of GE Healthcare Whatman FTATM and DMPK sample collection cards with automated sample extraction, eliminating common bottlenecks in laboratory processes. The system minimizes human error and enables high-throughput sample preparation for a variety of applications, such as forensic reference databasing as well as pre-clinical and clinical drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) and toxicology studies.
"Because many labs lack a fully automated workflow, thousands of samples such as blood and saliva placed on punch cards are waiting long periods to be processed for critical studies and forensic analysis," says Stefan Mauch, Product Manager of the easyPunch STARlet system. "Until now, sample card punching for analysis preparation required tedious manual work or separate semi-automated instruments and an operator. Researchers or technicians had to be precise when handling and tracking samples or the results could be compromised. "
The easyPunch workstation is based on the Hamilton Robotics Microlab® STARlet platform and features two special modules and robotic arms for transporting and punching paper cards. The samples are monitored by powerful tracking software to eliminate any chance of sample identification errors. The entire process is tracked using imaging recognition and Hamilton's proprietary software provides complete control and monitoring of the punching process.
"Ease of use makes this workstation an attractive solution for repetitive tasks in forensic and biopharma sample handling," says Navjot Kaur, Product Manager at Hamilton Robotics in Reno, Nevada. "Currently technicians manually clean between samples, but the easyPunch STARlet system performs this step automatically, reducing cross-contamination."
View the product webpage and easyPunch STARlet system video to learn more about how it works.

The Guard is a group in Haven. This group dedicates their lives to saving The Troubled at any costs. The members all wear a Maze tattoo and have a Trouble.
The Guard helps the troubled and ensures that Mara (currently known as Audrey) enters the Barn every 27 years. The group grew and continued their mission. When Lucy appeared, they made sure she entered the barn.
According to Jordan McKee, In the "Escape to Haven" (#EscapeToHaven) web series, that the Maze tattoo was originally used during medieval times as a way of branding the Trouble and ensuring easy identification of the supernatural. Later The Guard would adopt the former mark of shame as their logo. However Dwight Hendrickson, later claims, in the same web series no less, that the Guard is nothing but lies, so how much of that version of the Tattoo's origin story is true is left open to doubt.
The organization came to the attention of Nathan and Audrey around season 3 during the murders of the Bolt Gun Killer. Nathan decides to infiltrate the group via Jordan McKee, but they were using him to get to Audrey, by using Ginger Danvers to control Nathan to get Mara into the Barn, where she would go to stop the troubles for 27 years. In season 4 the Guard tried to kill Nathan because he destroyed the Barn and the troubles stayed and caused havoc to Haven, but Vince saved their lives and convinced the Guard to keep Nathan alive so he could find Audrey to kill him.
The nurse, who reveals to be a member, talks to Dwight and she questions him on Vince's whereabouts. In Speak No Evil, Dwight takes over the Guard from Vince after he fails to get protection for Henry Barrow. With control of the Guard, Dwight demands that Nathan hands Mara over to them. When Nathan fails to do so after he realized Audrey is still in there, Dwight orders the Guard to go after him.
Rhett is the only member who is not Troubled nor does he have the tattoo.
In New World Order, The Guard takes control of Haven when a bunch of new troubles are released from Duke and everyone is trapped inside Haven by a fog wall.

ESA's Mission Control Ready For Launch Of MSG-3
Europe´s new meteorology mission is set to soar into space on an Ariane 5 from Kourou on 5 July. Just 34 minutes later, ESA´s team of expert mission controllers will begin shepherding the satellite through the critical first steps of its life.
ESA developed the MSG series of satellites in close cooperation with Eumetsat — the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites — and ESOC is responsible for the complex ℠LEOP´ — the launch and early orbit phase.Eumetsat will take over routine operations about ten days after launch, which is set for the night of 5 July.
But until then, a highly trained ℠team of teams´ at ESOC, ESA´s European Space Operations Centre, will be working to ensure that the 2000 kg satellite´s voyage from the time it separates from Ariane 5 until it reaches geostationary orbit goes smoothly.
Experts from ESA´s ESTEC Establishment, Eumetsat and the satellite manufacturer, Thales Alenia Space, will also be on hand.
"We have two main tasks during the 10-day LEOP. The first is to command a series of four engine burns to circularise its orbit into the final geostationary orbit," says ESA´s Chris Watson, MSG-3 Spacecraft Operations Manager.
"The second is to activate the instrument, release its covers and conduct decontamination, to ensure that no moisture nor any other contaminants remains on the instrument´s critical surfaces (like the optics).
"We´ll staff the Main Control Room 24 hours per day, so it will be a very intensive time."
Meteosat Second Generation-3 is the third in a planned series of four Eumetsat satellites that return highly detailed imagery of Europe, the North Atlantic and Africa every 15 minutes for use by meteorologists and national weather forecasters.
During LEOP, ESA mission controllers will send commands and receive telemetry on the status of the satellite´s systems from MSG-3 using three 15 m-diameter Estrack ground stations, in Kourou, French Guiana; Maspalomas, Spain; and Perth, Australia.
A partner station at Malindi, Kenya, will also support the mission.
Teams at ESA have been training for months in a series of rehearsals, drills and simulations. The mission controllers are supported by extended teams of specialists responsible for flight dynamics, ground stations, software and networks.
"ESA only operates the MSG satellites for a short time. So we cross-assign engineers from other missions and we must get everyone trained rather quickly," says Chris.
"We passed the Operations Readiness Review in May and, on 27 June, we passed the Launch Readiness Review. We´re ready to go."
Around ten days after launch, the satellite will be more or less in its permanent geostationary orbit and its engine and other launch systems will be permanently locked out, because they will not be needed for the rest of the mission. From that time, just a single ground station is sufficient to fly the mission.
"ESA also provided LEOP services for MSG-1, launched in 2002, and MSG-2, in 2005," says Manfred Warhaut, Head of Mission Operations.
"ESOC is Europe´s ℠centre of excellence´ for flight control, LEOP activities and the development of mission control systems and applications."

Born on April 1929 in Brahmanbaria, Abed Hossain Khan was a renowned sitar player and music composer. He was also a professor at the Music College. In the course of his three-decade musical career, he performed at several events held in the country and overseas. He won the prestigious Ekushey Padak in 1985. He was the founder president of UAAKSN.
Mobarak Hossain Khan, president of UAAKSN presided over the programme. He said, "Well rendered classical music harmonises feelings, brings joy and happiness, and opens the heart and the mind. In my view it is a rare treat for the music lovers of the city dwellers." He also recalled the contribution of Ustad Abed Hossain Khan to the development of classical music."
After the discussion, the curtains went up with instrumental recitals in sarod, sitar and violin by 10 artistes of the organisation. Reenat Fauzia, the grand daughter of Ayat Ali Khan rendered a solo sitar piece, which was well-received by the audience. Two tabla players impressed the audience with their clarity and speed on the tabla.

Throughout time, communal dance has played an integral part in the growth of culture and society. According to Joan Cass, author of Dancing Through History, "Dance is a feature of every significant occasion and event crucial to tribal existence as part of ritual. The first thing to emphasize is that early dance exists as a ritual element. It does not stand alone as a separate activity or profession." Think about it. Before dance was a profession or even a solitary pursuit, it existed as a means of communication, ritual, and cultural expression. So it's no wonder that when we hoopers commune to dance together, we participate in a powerful and ancient tradition.
This comes to mind for me today because I have been bird watching, of all things. Spring and Summer reluctantly arrived in Michigan this year, pushing the cold dreariness of our long winter to the wayside, allowing the glory of rebirth to break through. My boys and I planted our first garden and they spend their afternoons checking with anxious excitement as the energy of these warm months push the tiny new plants through the topsoil. And, for my part, I have taken to watching the birds swimming and flying over the lake. It is their energy that fascinates me. The birds I covet mingle and share an energy that is mutual and interactive.
The two birds that have garnered my apt attention are a pair of elegant white swans. They appeared in early Spring and early on visited the lake every day. I marvel at their movements in the water and how they mirror each other. It is a dance. Two long, milky figures moving in a what seems a choreographed dance across the water. Swans generally mate for life, so it is no wonder that these two seemed to know the intricacies of the other, intuitively swimming in harmony. As with most things, I found my mind wandering back to hooping, drawing the similarities hoop dance can elicit in just the right circumstances.
It led me to reflect upon why the hooping community at large is so inspiring to me. Local hoop communities throughout the world take time to foster and grow their tribes. Those who cherish participating in them know how worthwhile it is to go through the steps of community development. Much like the swans I've been admiring, hoop communities not only dance in and out of relationships with each other, but quite literally dance WITH one other.
It's not surprising, really. Given that the each hooper creates her own dance and energy, every hoop jam, every time is a different and new creation. Each one brings something new, invigorating, and powerful to everyone there. Like the swans, when I hoop with others, I like to do so silently. I put myself out there and hold space for others. Others like to spend time sharing skills or catching up on the week's events while they hoop. Often a silent impromptu mingle occurs among attendees, encouraging non-verbal communication but with clear and intentional physical interaction. "Mingles" – where we find ourselves mirroring one another, or hooping in couples or as groups – are often lighthearted. Other times, they reveal a deeper, more unexpected route to connecting with those hooping around you.
Perhaps this desire to be with others in the hoop has helped spur the multitude of hoop events around the globe as well. Of course the amazing instruction given at each happening is a great pull for attendees. But when I think about the intense longing I feel to hoop with others at an event, or the melancholy I feel when I must leave them, I mostly crave the connection I get with other people who share my passion.
The spirit of hoop gatherings is such a natural conduit for interludes of magical, impromptu hoop jams. Let me share an example. Recently I taught at Peace, Love and Hoopiness in Nashville, Indiana, USA. My first class was after lunch and it was STEAMY outside. I was not sure how people were realistically going to make it through the hour-long class in that kind of heat. But then within minutes, the sky turned stormy, the temperature dropped, and the rain began to fall. Suddenly hoopers started filing in from everywhere and my class seemed to double, maybe even triple in size. And we all danced our hearts out in the rain. I gave instruction through my microphone, but sometimes wondered if it was even necessary. We seemed to all be sharing the communal pulse and reveling in the cleansing downpour. There was a language being spoken there. But no one was speaking. The surprise shower released a language of joy and freedom of movement that had previously been suppressed by the unrelenting heat.
Quite recently only one swan has returned to the lake on my property. It swims for short times, still relentlessly beautiful, but somehow it saddens me. Perhaps it's because it swims for such small increments, or because I miss the intricate dance it had with its partner. I wonder what its story is now. This is not to say that we as dancers, as hoopers, should not spend time alone in the hoop. Of course we should! Many of us are solitary hoopers, after all, and each of us needs alone time to hone our skills in practice. However, the importance of our time together in the spin shouldn't be overlooked or undervalued. According to James Hurd Nixon, "In ancient times and in traditional cultures, dance has functioned as the means by which people gathered and unified themselves in order to confront the challenges of their existence." Dance has always existed as a uniting force, and it's no different today. So my dear friends and hoopers, make sure you attend a hoop jam or event this Summer. Tune into those around you, engage in ritual dance, and feel the beating of our communal pulse just beneath your toes.
Columnist Bonnie MacDougall of HavenHoopDance has been in the spin since 2002. When she's not dancing madly with her two kids, she sells custom made hoops and teaches local and regional hoop dance classes and workshops. From Carrboro, North Carolina, she now lives in Detroit, Michigan, USA.

I agree with all of Sam's points. >Meanwhile, we are asking these same individuals to focus on the open issues we need to resolve between now and last call: >http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/products/15 I especially agree with the above point about concentrating our resources on our remaining pre-LC issues. In fact on today's TF call I indicated that I would resist any Call for Change Proposals or Counter Propoals for a re-opened ISSUE-30 until we clear out our queue of pre-LC issues. Of course I would personally apply this principle to all of the existing Last Call issues identified in: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/products/1 /paulc Paul Cotton, Microsoft Canada 17 Eleanor Drive, Ottawa, Ontario K2E 6A3 Tel: (425) 705-9596 Fax: (425) 936-7329 -----Original Message----- From: firstname.lastname@example.com [mailto:email@example.com] On Behalf Of Sam Ruby Sent: Thursday, February 17, 2011 2:13 PM To: Laura Carlson Cc: HTML Accessibility Task Force Subject: Re: Agenda: HTML-A11Y Task Force on 17 February at 16:00Z for 60 minutes On 02/17/2011 01:33 PM, Laura Carlson wrote: > Hi Sam, > >>> Hopefully that will allow enough time for the HTML Working Group to >>> evaluate the proposal, the reverse the decision, and instate >>> longdesc into the spec before Last Call. >> >> Based on what I have seen, I do believe that you have enough >> information to reopen the issue.

If that request were to come in today, I would treat that as a request to reopen the issue on 2011 Feb 17, and therefore as a Last Call issue. > Is that possible? In short, I would oppose such an issue from being treated as a pre-LC issue. I'll be blunt. What I am about to say is with my co-chair hat on, but only representing 1 of 3 co-chairs: Laura: the work you are now doing is excellent. To everybody who feels that the decision was wrong or even hasty, I truly wish that even one of you had presented even a fraction of what Laura has now gathered. In August of 2010, the discussion had been going on for 2.5 years. Since then yet another half a year has passed. If you had come forward with the type of data that Laura has now collected, you certainly would have made my life easier. If we agree to reopen the issue (note: I said IF we chose to do so, even though it does seem quite likely at this point) the chairs would effectively be saying that there is a reasonable chance that this proposal will draw weaker objections than the counter proposal that was selected. But that is ALL that such an action would be saying. We don't ask people for objections to proposals or to rebut evidence which isn't even brought forward. If we do reopen this issue, it would be with the intention that will give everybody adequate time to respond. Meanwhile, we are asking these same individuals to focus on the open issues we need to resolve between now and last call: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/products/15 I will also note that there already are a number of issues that we have identified as last call issues: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/products/1 I think it would be a good idea to explicitly mention the above list in whatever announcements are made for last call. > Thank you. > > Best Regards, > Laura - Sam Ruby > On 2/17/11, Sam Ruby<firstname.lastname@example.com> wrote: >> On 02/17/2011 03:33 AM, Laura Carlson wrote: >>> Hi Janina, >>> >>> Regrets for the meeting. >>> >>>> Issue-30 longdesc (any updates?) >>> >>> Some of us have been working on the change proposal [1].

hi im back. how ru? one thing I need to address is, um rr, ru trying to tell me im stupid? because if you are, I already know. I beat you to it. ha ha
oh grill. yeah ... its been a flurry of activity here ...
so I listened to some about the thing. there was a story on the silence and also um ... more about the guy and his participation in I think a religious gathering the prior Friday. it was creepy. it was on npr, so it was interesting and incisive.
james blake sounds fanf*ckingtastic on the stereo! yay! very cool very very cool. quite happy with it. but since I normally download stuff into realplayer, the lamest music player on earth, I didn't know how to sort of take the file and put it with the rest of my music, so now I have this like one song in my email but I bet its under recent downloads if I look maybe I can move it. right next to big sean.
I got into a fight with the ac on the fone. god I know and I can totally feel my bp going way up. he was texting me about the bed and the electronics and dishes and stuff, and he go, 'I talk to Gary and he said it is coming fairly soon." Fairly SOON? I mean. wasn't this the perfect opportunity for him to find out a date. but I had tried to call that guy and I forgot to call again so I guess I dropped the ball so ... my bad. anyway I called him after that stupid text like 'is that all he said" and then he told me a lot of other pertinent details that I guess he just wasn't planning to share. whatever. the end result is still 'fairly soon'
im sad. I want a bed. Gary said he will do the furniture first. im thinking next week. I know that's what I said last week. believe me I want it bad. the bed, that is. well, that too
uh .... then we just got into a screaming match and as ive noted this is always fun. idk. sometimes I really wonder what happened to the person I knew before. I mean, he was drinking a lot before the fire but after wow it just went haywire. half the time I just don't even recognize him. its more than disconcerting. but ... theres nothing I can do. god knows ive tried.
before that I got home and omigod I forgot to marinate the chicken. oh s**t. I have not had like meat since I moved here. its murder, you know. um. gosh I hope it don't go bad I defrosted it yester and its ben in the fridge. oops. anyway I decided that since I couldn't find a track, tho I think I got one on google tonite, that I would go to this hike ive done a few x right near here.
it only took me like ten minutes to get there from here, so its super close like I thought. I wanted to hit this one trail that like, turns into a fire road, but the few times Ive gone ive never ben able to get back there, which I went on my first time there. its like a good two hour round trip walk slash hike, or longer. but once I got lost there, another time I got on this wack trail which was ok but short and sort of traversed this dangerously narrow and steep loop back to the park which is just riddled with dog people. no offense. im starting to like dogs. but that one time I saw these two guys get into a fight over their dogs and they were so intense like shouting 'no you take your f*cking dog!' and like 'no your dog started it!' and it was chaos.
so this time I started up, its super steep when you go and wouldn't you know it some foofy runner who was so proud of himself nearly clipped my ear he came so close to me like there are two ppl on the gee dam trail and this loser has to prove how fit he is running right up on my grill while I am like 'ohhhhh lor I am barely walking up these stairs" (theyre like wood and dirt steps) but he went on with his bad self and I was just like sheesh! give me a freakin break
ok why does it happen that medhelp makes you highlight whole sections of text and you cringe and watch while it goes delete! god why?
I was saying how on the way up it is so pretty, you get to look at the whole valley and you see it from the south so you can see up to the top of the valley with the mts and just super gawjus. you know we in cali rule beauty wise and so all the rest of you states pale ... well im sorry its just how it is. cept maybe brice cyn in Utah and I never been there but hope to go
yeh and on the ril like I aint ben to the Tree in a while like months. and you know this year Joshua is like soooo blooming with those white buds you know did you see it on tv? its the best year ever they said .... but I got to get guap cuz its 20 bux to get in the park or 15 or something and im dying to go and April is the best not cruelest month. but maybe may good too I hope so
ony thing is I want to hike like I think its called Lost Horse Mine and that is soooo long like four hours I think and idk if I could do it alone. I guess I could . MM would never make it. if I could drag Charlotte away from Roadkill shed love it. yeah oh right we went to the Tree together years ago
aww yeah. and once I got to the top I looked and it was real dope and then you go into this like, idk it looks like a valley floor all dirt and cracked but its at the top of a big hill like ur panting and wet. wow that dint come out right. anyway um ... gah. and like on either side the path is flanked by these like idk little orange flowers not the yellow mustard but no they look like habaneros, you know, just tiny peppers but they are flowers. very cool.
anyway the trail turned off so many directions that's the ony thing I don't like about this park. and I tried to look for the fire road and big trees, I thought I got it but I went down this way steep downward I hate that I always slip but I did ok and I just went forever and then I got into this like gulch or something idk it was houses rich people who lived there a long time like have their name on a plaque outside and such and then big shade trees and like a rolling meadow and old metal parts rusting out and quaint little benches I mean yeah like a Secret Garden I was charmed I m sure. but sweaty
so I turned back cuz I ran into some truck parked right in the trail and it made me nervous cuz no rr I dint bring my fone. I heard you telling me the hole time but I dint want to carry it that fone sweats more than I do
it was a sweet hike ./ walk but ony ended up about forty five mins but that's ok I felt good and it was very pretty and I got to work out my body and that was nice
got home and did some things I think around the apt and oh yeah fought with ac and I um I um oh yeah I wrote for half a hour and it is ok fiction I think it is a actual story! parts of it I let the sentences just come and other parts I took three books, one was poetry, and just opened and pointed and got a line so I could use that quote to write from and for the most part that worked quite well. I was pleased.
I sat on the patio and smoked a cigarette and cried and felt sorry for myself that was fun.
but, for a lot of the afternoon, I think I did a good job of being positive and productive and trying to look to the future. I think I still need to get to some meetings and call that chick Nora but the fone was too heavy and I could not do it but I did think about it a great deal.
an ... im tired now. for me its late. I have magazines and notebooks and these old issues of the Nation I found by the mailboxes for ppl to take I figured I could brush up on some politix and quote the articles as if I knew something and impress ppl ha ha ... now is the Nation right or left? I cant recall. well if its left that's great and if its right ill just take the info and spin it all the way around and mock them and make fun of them for their views. yes, good job Meegy ty
for those who like to rock, we salute you!
oh grill guess what DM yes Depeche mode is playing like a thousand shows at Staples and ONE check it ONE show at the freakin troubadour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh lord what a dope show to see that would be! wow. the alternative station giving away tickets. they had this guy on who could NOT talk to the dee jay no matter what subject he brought up. he was so frustrated like 'hey dude we are not getting into a groove with this conversaton' and the guy was like 'im sorry; ' it might have been jed the fish im not sure and he was like 'that's ok' and then the guy finally was able to show a bunch of happiness for winning the tix and he knew his wife would be all stoked and jed was happy but like wow this guy ... it was so bizarre I mean you have to know ellay but like kroq is the station and their listeners are so weird! that would never happen on a hip hop station.
at this point I feel it might behoove me and others if I mentioned this costume I wore for Halloween when I was teaching elementary school. I ordered it from oriental trading company whose catalogs thereafter became the favorite reading material of my then step son (wow how much further away from having your own kid could you get) and it was a nun. I think I may have mentioned this in an early journal. so idk if it was cuz im jewish or what but when I wore the costume it really offended a bunch of other teachers most notably the lady next door was from Africa and had a very thick accent and she was cool sometimes but sort of like, hardcore. and the nun costume came with these headbands there were four I forget what all of them said but one was um 'nun of your bizness!' and another was 'nun cents' yeah it said that. I think one should have said 'nun such records' ha ha
ohhh Meegy. you tax my patience. yes. I know
ok I ben thinkin more about Big Sean. I know I spend a lot of mental energy on him. prolly not time well spent but hey what can I say. um I think its unfortunate that he used the deli line cuz like, ppl don't really relate to delis do they? it sounds so like quasi tacky. yes. quasi tacky. yes I did make it up. and um. well. I think the reason is that he hails from deetroit my place of nacimiento ... yes ... yay! deetroit! ima holler at ya! and um. well the Stage and the Bread Basket are two of the bombinest delis in Detroit in case you ever get the chance to eat there take it!!!!! mmmmmmm its like instant orgasm food. really. even for you I don't eat anything ppl you just gotta eat it for one day
well it is rather late and I have gone on a bit! excuse me. im just being like that nun. the one I dressed up as. idk im being rather oblique but you might pick it up from context.
S, yes I do love you, and I miss you, but you need to stop. it don't matter how old you are, player.
omg that song is on! big sean! deli!
I am so prescient.
goodnite medhelp
love you lots
