Am I the only weirdo who is listening to Christmas music in June?!
Am I the only weirdo who is listening to Christmas music in June?!
"Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas".
Calvin Coolidge
i listen to my christmas cd in the car all the time christmasislove...
I mean, I have my Christmas playlist on my Iphone year round. I tried to take it off, and that lasted for about a week. It just makes me happy.
Sometimes I listen to Christmas music as early as July.
I like to watch Christmas movies year-round
I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
I started listening around late October.
When it seems the magic slipped away...
We find it all again on Christmas Day.
*Seeing isn't believing.Believing is seeing.*
If I wasn't profoundly deaf I would probably be listening to christmas music. I wonder if netflix has christmas movies hmm
PM me to get my blog link about my life with deafness
Christmas 2011
I don't really start listening to Christmas music until November (or after the last Halloween Party I attend) I enjoy Halloween almost as much as I enjoy Christmas so I hold off until the festivities are over for one before moving into the other. Thanksgiving (in the US) is part of the Christmas Season for me, so I have no problem mixing those two.
"I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys." ~Charles Dickens

Skip to comments.George Will: Sarah Palin and the mutual loathing society
Posted on 02/17/2010 8:27:21 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet
The Republican presidential nominee, an Arizona senator, was a maverick, which was part of his charm. He spoke and acted impulsively, which was part of his problem. Voters thought his entertaining dimensions might be incompatible with presidential responsibilities. For example, he selected a running mate most Americans had never heard of and who had negligible experience pertinent to the presidency. This was 1964.
Barry Goldwater, whose seat John McCain occupies, chose to run with Bill Miller, a congressman from Lockport, N.Y., near Buffalo. Miller, Goldwater cheerfully explained, annoyed Lyndon Johnson. After the Goldwater-Miller ticket lost 44 states, Miller retired to Lockport, where he practiced law and lived in dignified anonymity until his death in 1983. Although he had served as an assistant prosecutor of Nazi war criminals at Nuremberg and spent seven terms in Congress, no one suggested he should be considered for the 1968 Republican presidential nomination.
Yet Sarah Palin, who with 17 months remaining in her single term as Alaska's governor quit the only serious office she has ever held, is obsessively discussed as a possible candidate in 2012. Why? She is not going to be president and will not be the Republican nominee unless the party wants to lose at least 44 states.
Conservatives, who rightly respect markets as generally reliable gauges of consumer preferences, should notice that the political market is speaking clearly: The more attention Palin receives, the fewer Americans consider her presidential timber. The latest Post-ABC News poll shows that 71 percent of Americans -- including 52 percent of Republicans -- think she is not qualified to be president.(continued)
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
George Will tries to protect his fellow Washington insider friends.
he he. Makes me wonder what serious office George "Dinner Party" Will has ever held.
I'd rather read the inane ramblings of obvious libs like Mo Dowd or Thomas Friedman than drivel like this from the execrable self-ordained conservative, George Will.
Hanging around the beltway cocktail parties all these years has you sounding like Peggy Noonan.
LOL! You just made his point.
The comb-over crowd prefers "experience" in a Republican ticket...
Probably single-handedly convinced Bob Dole to run in '96.
This is the Alan Colmes of conservative pundits, who lives out his pompous life as the token RINO of ABC.
Isn't George the effete vacuous snob who had dinner for 0bama ?
This was a coordinated hit by the beltway faux conservative elitists:
What Sarah Palin Doesn't Know
The Wall Street Journal ^ | 02-17-10 | DOROTHY RABINOWITZ
"If experience is a criterion for the White House, explain Mr. Obama to me, George."
we don't need a Republican version of Obama
Damn, it's really got to suck being an elite trying to convince us to believe them or our lieing f**cking eyes!
And the snobs use the language of losers.
George Will is pure elitist.
I don't think Palin will run in 2012, 2016 is more likely. But I hope she does jump in. Without Palin representing conservatives and traditionalists in 2012, the GOP will offer up another round of stale old worn out candidates. Some rehashed leftovers from 2008. You know who!
No, he didn't. Obama had no executive experience, Sarah Palin does.
The more such articles appear, the greater the cacaphony of derision, the surer it becomes that Sarah Palin will be the next President. No such hue and cry would arise were that not the case.
According to beltway conventional wisdom, Obama was "qualified" to US voters, but Palin is not. Beam me up.
Now, be nice to George.
His knickers are perfectly creased.
We are the uneducated class.
Obama And Conservatives Break Bread At George Will's House
Huffpost January 13, 2009 08:37 PM
And a majority of American voters thought obama did —Damn this country has gone crazy
I'm not sold 100% to Sarah Palin, but the attacks of so-called conservative pundits, etc., are really sickening. The Republican nominee will be decided through the primaries; if they don't like her, they better launch their own candidate that can gather as much support as Sarah Palin does.
Obama dines with George Will
January 13, 2009
BY ABDON M. PALLASCH Political Reporter
Talk about "reaching out."
President-elect Barack Obama held an unannounced dinner Tuesday night at the $19 million home of conservative columnist George Will, according to a pool report.
Two other conservative columnists — William Kristol and the New York Times' David Brooks — also were spotted there, the report said.
George. You make a decent point or two, but your snobbery drips from every paragraph. You should go back to wearing those yellow coolats to baseball games, while telling us how bad jeans look.
Coming out of the woodwork: elitist RINOs
When are these idiots going to realize that when they align themselves with liberals against Palin, they align themselves against everyday Americans.
George Will always reminds me of the Loyalists right before the Revolution. Oh so logical and refined...the kind up man who would tut tut the firebrands like Sam Adams and Patrick Henry...and give a hundred reasons why the taxes weren't so bad and it was better to stay a part of the British Empire.....but failing to see that the times had changed and the people were ready to throw off their "betters" and take control of their destiny...Sarah Palin doesn't speak for the George Will's of the world...men comfortable with the corrupt status quo of Washington...she speaks for us...and there are millions more of us than of him!!
George Will isn't taking irrelevance very gracefully, is he!
Exactly...lets hear it George about Biden and Ozero.
How the hell does a columnist like Will afford a 19 million dollar home? I think Bill Gates' home only cost something like 23 million.
Class Dork, perpetual trophy, four years running!
George, you elitist snob. You just keep on believing what you believe and have another cocktail.
That needed to be said again. ;>)
Will would prefer a Republican version of John Edwards.
Thanks for taking the words right off of my keyboard. If you don't mind, I'll also stop by to wish George a good trip to Florida for spring training. Write us a couple of columns on "The American Game" and forget politics, George. You don't have any stuff left for The Show - try a slow-pitch beer league like covering a school board election.
... asks George Will, while obsessively discussing Sarah Palin as a possible candidate in 2012.
Thank you!
That's really all it comes down to, isn't it?
The numbers speak for themselves.
Palin has some very, very heavy lifting to do to even win the GOP nomination.
Think it out a little better!
Excellent analysis!
Sarah has never ran for president, hasn't given her own detail ideas for America yet, hasnt faced any challengers to debate the issues and yet she shouldnt even consider to run, she isn't worthy or qualified to run, she should just leave and go home because some want her to do that?
These guys seem to do this every 3 to 6 months. They probably know that they need more readers, and what better way to get them than to write about Palin.
Georgie Will protects his Brie and Chablis invites. He has no idea how the other 85% of the Country thinks.
Pray for America and Gov Palin
Whoever wants to get by Palin has the heavy lifting to do. Nobody out there seems likely to do it.
Will is another Washingtonian shill headed for the unemployment line.
Hey George Will, what did you say about 0bama, 2 years before the 2008 elections, when CBS came out with this poll?
"According to CBS News, only 29% of registered voters considered then presidential candidate Barack Obama experienced enough to be President in August of 2007, just six months before the Iowa caucuses. This CBS News poll shows that a plurality of Democrat primary voters considered Obama to lack the experience to serve as President. By a almost a 2-to-1 margin, Independents answered the question negatively."

I "conversed" with a young woman this weekend via e-mail who has this complication. So I thought I would repost my review of it from December 2, 2007.
Sentinel lymph node (SLN) dissection has increased in use for the management of high-risk melanoma and other cancers, such as breast cancer. The procedure identifies an SLN by intradermal or intraparenchymal injection of a blue dye (either isosulfan blue or methylene blue), a radiocolloid, or both around the primary malignancy.
When isosulfan blue is used there is a 2% incidence of allergic reactions. These include "blue hives" and anaphylaxis. Because of these reactions, the use of methylene blue is becoming more wide spread as no toxicity has been attributed to it.
The use of methylene blue requires an intraparenchymal injection of 5 mL of 1% methylene blue dye. While methylene blue has had no systemic toxicity attributed to it, it has been associated with a local inflammatory reaction which may lead to skin necrosis at the site of injection. Stradling et al. reported skin lesions in 5 of 24 patients who received intradermal injection of methylene blue dye for lymphatic mapping in breast cancer. The skin lesions included a variety of local inflammatory presentations, including erythematous macular lesions, superficial ulcers, necrotic ulcerations, and abscess formation. After injections were restricted to the deep parenchyma, no further skin lesions were noted. This local toxicity of methylene blue with superficial injection concerns surgeons who perform subareolar injection because of its potential effect on the nipple/areolar complex.
Methylene Blue should not be given by subcutaneous, so try to inject into the deep dermis or subcutaneous layer. This should help prevent the skin complications.
"Some individuals have found that dilution of methylene blue (2 mL of methylene blue and 3 mL of saline) allows successful mapping while avoiding this local toxicity (Pat Whitworth, MD, personal communication, May 2004" -- from second reference article.
Treatment consists of basic wound care.
1) Keep the wound clean.
2) Keep the wound moist.
3) Keep the wound well nourished, which implies reducing or eliminating edema and keeping pressure off the wound.
4) Debride only as necessary, be conservative.

Laurie Schecter and Gary Issacson have a most interesting and delightful yard - right on the beach in Hollywood! After suffering damage from Hurricane Wilma several years ago, they decided to take the opportunity to restore the yard to a natural landscape. They hired landscaper Greg Philips to install rare and endangered native coastal species, reestablish seaside planting on the dunes, and restore the native tree canopy. Much work has gone into the removal of exotic species and the re-establishment of pollinators and other wildlife habitat. It is truly a remarkable restoration effort and the Emerald Award Team is thrilled to recognize Laurie, Gary, and Greg as Emerald Award Winners.

HCPS interns develop software prototype
Two Henrico County students have spent their summer internships creating a working prototype of an online application system for students applying to the county's high school specialty centers.
The interns and management of eTelic Inc., the information technology firm that hosted the interns this summer, estimate that an automated system could save students, teachers and administrators as many as 20,000 total hours per year currently spent using the paper-based application process. Printing and paper costs for all also would be substantially reduced.
Jack Palen, a recent Maggie L. Walker Governor's School graduate headed to the University of Michigan, and Shravan Ravishankar, a rising senior at Deep Run High School, developed the online software application during their four-week internship using eTelic's proprietary rapid software application generator called Turanto.
According to Lynne Norris, department chairperson of Deep Run's Center for Information Technology, the real-world experience provided to Palen and Ravishankar in this endeavor will prove invaluable as they transition to college and a job after academics.
"This type of experience allows a student to see beyond school and experience what a business goes through in working to solve a real problem for itself or for a customer," Norris said. "Not many students have an opportunity to do that prior to entering the job market, which everyone knows is getting more competitive each year."
The two students are planning to schedule a presentation to HCPS officials in order to demonstrate the prototype, hoping it will assist county management in determining the scope and value of automating the current system in the future. An online system could replace the paper-based system used by 3,700 students per year as well as hundreds of teachers and administrators who submit transcripts and recommendations for eighth-grade applicants to the county's high school specialty centers.
"Normally this type of software program would take an experienced programmer working full time up to six months to create," said eTelic president Mukul Paithane. "It is remarkable that these two bright students built this complex, data-driven software application in only four weeks, and with minimal programming. Jack and Shravan were able to use their limited time focusing on analyzing a real-world 'business problem' and developing a practical solution to replace a paper-based application process, saving time and money for everyone involved."
Further development of the prototype would allow Henrico County eighth-grade students, teachers and administrators to complete, submit and review various documents online, including the application itself, along with other documents such as transcripts and teacher recommendations. They would be provided with secure access to the system in order to process information needed from them. Specialty Center school admissions officials would then use the system to access all information used to make decisions on which students should be admitted into various magnet schools.
"From my experience in using the current paper system, I know that an automated process would save other students tremendous amounts of time when applying, and the cost-savings for the county should be significant as well," said County Intern Coordinator Robert Stephens.

Solomon Burke * 1940 - † 2010
Sometimes music has the power to become bigger than the men who wrote it or even performed it and it has the magic ingredient to become an essential part of an era, or an entire community history and tradition.
That's why today, receiving the news that Solomon Burke has passed away just a few hours before a concert in Amsterdam, you can't help thinking about how original and unique he and his music were, or better said, are.
"Everybody Needs Somebody (To Love)" is probably one of the most famous, inspired and groovy R&B / rock songs of all time. The whole world recognises it after a few seconds, thanks to the versions made by The Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder, Stevie Winwood or, most likely, The Blues Brothers. Possibly, not everybody knows that the song was just one of the many "ever-green" originally recorded and made famous by Solomon Burke, the artist that together with Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin made the small indie Atlantic records one of the biggest and most prestigious record labels of the entire history of the music industry.
Adored by the Beatles, Dylan, Springsteen and all the rock giants, Solomon Burke was "larger than life". His physical presence on stage certainly was, but even more than that, it was his sense of entertainment and dedication to music, lived as a religion (Burke had no problem in calling himself the "Bishop of Rock and Soul"). He was one of the last icons of a golden era of music that we were lucky to see performing and lucky to hear on record.
For Edel's earMUSIC it was an extreme honour to release the latest studio album by Burke. "Nothing´s Impossible", as the title suggests, is an album that achieves the results that even charts records nowadays very often fail to reach: it combines sincere, deep lyrics to soulful and warm R&B music, in a moment were everything has to be fast, easy to consume, sold and forgotten to leave the slot free to something else. A piece of art which was written, produced and sung without charts and marketing plans in mind. Burke didnot need it anymore, he ruled the charts for so many years that it would not make any difference.
He was bringing music "to the people" live, nearly every day. All over the world. His shows were a real party, to the point you could forget you were witnessing the show of a piece of music history.
He said he would have liked to sing until the last day of his life. He did, so we can salute a ?lucky man". All fans of real music and real entertainment can feel lucky as well today, if they find the time to play and enjoy his music once more.

Pressureized water lines with a small leak are pretty noticeable, since the water glass makes an amplifier for the noise. Move the glass around to test for the loudest leak sounding noise. Then turn off the water outside at the meter, and see if the noise goes away. If so, thats a good indication of an under the concrete leak. You can call American Leak Detection to pinpoint the leak with ultrasonic testing devices, and they'll gaurantee to be within six inches. Then you'll have to break open about a two foot area to get to the pipe to repair and test the repair, then pour new concrete and put the carpet back. e-mail me if you need more info, at email@example.com

Jerry Hickey is a pharmacist and radio personality and fills the esteemed role of Scientific Director and President of Invite Health. He has spent his professional life analyzing nutritional information and medical studies with the aim of creating the highest quality and most natural nutraceuticals for user's maximum health benefits. Here, Jerry speaks about the benefits of green coffee beans…
We came out with a green coffee bean supplement. We had people calling us with their issues. They were asking us about the green coffee beans on the market. I said, "Listen, they're out there, but a lot of them are really not what you want to take." I'll tell you why. Green coffee beans; you pick them and you roast them. It's a seed, by the way. It's really green coffee seed, but we'll call it a bean because everybody calls it a coffee bean. They pick the coffee, they throw away the berry, and then they take the seed of the berry, just like the seed of a cherry or the seeds of a grape and they roast it and then you crush it and you make a cup of coffee in the morning. That is not the one that makes you burn fat. That is not the one that helps you get rid of weight because, when you roast the coffee bean, you lose the things that burn the fat, and further, you increase the amount of caffeine, because the concentration of caffeine goes up relative to the things you're losing. So, when they roast a coffee bean, they lose the ferulic acid, the caffeic acid, and the chlorogenic acid; the chlorogenic acid being the most common antioxidant in coffee and the most important for fat burning.
So, regular brewed morning coffee doesn't really help you burn fat and it has a lot of caffeine. When you take the raw green coffee bean, it doesn't have as much caffeine. In fact, when they gave it to people in different studies, it didn't raise their blood pressure. A cup of coffee can raise your blood pressure. When they give people the raw coffee bean, the green coffee seed, that doesn't raise your blood pressure, that doesn't make you hyper, that doesn't speed up your pulse rate and your heartbeat; it doesn't have any of those negative effects. What it does is burn fat. When I looked at the reviews of studies and when I reviewed the results of the studies, it shows that people lose from 0.7 pounds to well over 2 pounds per week. But the average weight loss is a pound to a pound and a half per week which is a very good rate of fat loss. Losing a pound and a half of fat each week is wonderful. That means that within a month, you can lose 4 to 6 pounds. Within two months, you can lose 8 to 12 pounds. Within three months, some people will lose 24 pounds and some people will lose 12 pounds. So, it varies from person to person.
But when I reviewed the human clinical trials that I got my hands on for the green coffee seed the typical weight loss was, on average, a pound to a pound and a half, though 2 pounds is more common than 0.8 pounds. So, here's a study just like that. It's a local study from the University of Scranton. That's in northern Pennsylvania. So, doctors at the University of Scranton recruited overweight people. They made them go through three different periods with a two-week intervention, a two-week washout in between. So, for six weeks, they put them on one phase of the study. One phase involved an inactive placebo. One phase was with the green coffee seed. In between each phase, they had two weeks where they didn't use anything, so that the effects of the last phase were washed out. Everybody in the study went through all three phases at different times; some people are in phase one, some people are in phase two, some people are in phase three, and then, they switched them. What they found on the green coffee seed but not on placebo, is that people lost a lot of weight. By the way, they monitored their calories. This was not a study for a weight loss diet and it was not a study for physical activity. So anyway, they only burned, on average, 400 calories per day in physical activity. You could probably do that just by going shopping in the mall. They were burning 400 calories per day which is a very low level of caloric burning. So, these people obviously were not exercising. Now, the second thing is they were eating, on average 2,400 calories per day. It's a lot of food; that's a big breakfast, that's a big lunch, that's a big dinner and that's a snack in between. Those on the green coffee bean lost 18 pounds on average. That's within 12 weeks of use, and it wasn't even a study of 12 weeks. There were six weeks, a two-week washout, and then another six-week round of the green coffee seed. But over the course of 12 weeks total, they lost 18 pounds of mostly fat. It was almost all fat on average. Some of the people only lost 10 pounds. Others lost over 12 pounds. So, there is a variation. For some people, it works better than others, but they all lost weight on the green coffee seed, and they didn't change their diet or their exercise routine. So, imagine if they all of a sudden started taking walks everyday and started eating more sensibly, substituting a piece of salmon for a cheeseburger. Take away the cheeseburger with bacon and the French fries and substitute a piece of salmon and a salad; you're already losing weight.
So, when they gave them the green coffee seed, they lost 18 pounds on average over the 12-week period. That was 10% percent of their body weight, 16% of their body fat. Some of them only lost about 8 to 10 pounds. Many lost 25 to 26 pounds. This was in the Journal of Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome, and Obesity, and it's important to note that it was the real green coffee seed. It was 45% chlorogenic acid and it had about 10% other green coffee seed antioxidants. That's an important thing. That's what we're offering today. We're offering the green coffee seed with 45% chlorogenic acid, but it's the natural thing, so it's going to have the other beneficial polyphenols in there, too.
What they're typically doing out there, they're getting roasted coffee which doesn't burn fat and they're adding synthetic chlorogenic acid to it. That's what a lot of companies are doing. So, you get what you pay for. Ours is extremely high in quality. It's the same green coffee seed mixture that they use in the studies and you can expect to lose a pound, a pound and a half or 2 pounds per week.
We added lychee to the green coffee seed for two reasons: one, it's a great antioxidant. The lychee fruit is a wonderful antioxidant. When you're trying to step up your physical activity and exercise, it protects your immune system and it helps protect your heart and your arteries, but at the same time, they've shown that people who are exercising, if they do lychee it improves their endurance and their stamina. They actually got a better workout and they recovered quicker from the workout. So, that's why we added lychee to the green coffee bean. The thought process was that when you're dieting, you're burning fat, which creates free radicals. So, the lychee will protect you from the free radicals you're oxidizing. You always need antioxidants. The second thing is that lychee increases your energy and your stamina, so it's going to be easier for people trying to lose weight to take a walk and get out there and exercise.
The green coffee bean, it's the original thing, it's not roasted, it's not a cup of coffee. It's a green coffee bean. It's high in chlorogenic acid and it's not the synthetic stuff they're adding to a lot of these products from China. This is from the United States. The green coffee bean burns anywhere from a pound to a pound and a half per week. Some people might even get 2 pounds of fat burn per week. So, only use it if you're trying to lose some fat. That's what it's for.
For adults take two (2) capsules once or twice a day with a glass of water at the start of a meal, or as recommended by a healthcare professional.

What makes InVite's combination of Green Coffee Bean with Lychee Fruit so powerful?
The green coffee bean, when taken in raw supplement form, has been shown to have a great ability for body fat reduction. The coffee extract used in research is rich in a polyphenol constituent known as "chlorogenic acid". Chlorogenic acid is a plant compound that has been shown to decrease glucose absorption in your body, which in turn helps with weight loss and body fat reduction.
The green coffee bean is an excellent tool for burning off body fat, but it can also increase the production of damaging free radicals in your body. This is where the Lychee fruit is especially important – its antioxidant properties help protect you from the free radicals that come along with decreased levels of body fat. Lychee fruit is also known to increase your energy, making it a lot easier to stick with your exercise plan. Lychee fruit is very beneficial for those who aim to increase their physical activity – it can help protect your heart and arteries during this process, and for people already on a regular workout regimen, it can improve endurance and stamina. Lychee fruit may also help you recover more quickly from a vigorous workout.
When combined, green coffee bean extract and lychee fruit help you reach your weight loss goals, decrease body fat, increase energy and improve stamina and endurance during a workout.

"Not silly sweethearts' love but the love that makes you and keeps you whole"—that is the sort of love that roses need to grow healthy blossoms and, in Robin McKinley's retelling of the Beauty and the Beast fairy tale, it's the sort Beauty is able to give. When her merchant father's ships are lost at sea, the family moves to a tiny cottage far away from anything they know. Rose Cottage, it's called, but the roses are bedraggled and weak until Beauty starts to nurture them. Then she is called on for an entirely different sort of nurturing. While it follows the usual Beauty-and-the-Beast plot line, Rose Daughter arrives at a very different thematic place, taking a thorny, magical, and slightly-edgy route to the resolution.

Under the care and laughter of her new-found family of southern women, CeeCee discovers that mothers can come in many forms. Call Number: BG Hoffman
Say You're One of Them by Uwem Akpan
Set in contemporary Africa, the stories in this collection revolve around the children of poverty: how they suffer, or survive, or are damaged, or just try to understand forces much larger than themselves. Children are sold into slavery; a daughter must decide between education and prostitution; religious differences force the implosion of a family. Yet, as the stories explore the grim reality of contemporary Africa, they offer beauty in language, a sort of redemption through storytelling. Call Number: BG Akpan
The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett
The Secret Keeper by Kate Morton
Kate Morton is the queen of atmospheric, compelling novels that revolve around secrets, and The Secret Keeper is no exception. Avoiding her siblings by hiding in a tree house during a family party, 16-year-old Laurel witnesses her mother kill a man who appears to be an intruder. But fifty years later, when she is an accomplished actress and her mother is near death, Laurel rediscovers questions she has about what she witnessed. Moving through England during World War II, the Blitz, the 60's and beyond, the story flashes between Laurel's perspective, her mother's, and the murdered man's. A mystery set within a history within an epic family saga, The Secret Keeper explores how ambitions and hopes shape a myriad of lives. Call Number: BG Morton

Until I Say Good-Bye: My Year of Living with Joy by Susan Spencer-Wendel
At 44, Susan Spencer-Wendel was an award-winning journalist writing for the Palm Beach Post, with three kids and a happy marriage. One day, her left hand started shriveling; it was the onset of ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease, although she wouldn't be officially diagnosed for more than a year. Once she knew the name of her illness and what it would entail—an irreversible weakening of her body's muscles—she made a choice to seek happiness and fulfilling experiences in whatever time she had left. She quit her job and planned seven vacations to take with the seven most important people in her life; she made scrapbooks with a lifetime's worth of photos, created a backyard haven, and wrote. The story she tells is sad, of course; we know she is dying. But it is not an examination of death. Instead, it explores living life with purpose, intent, and presence, surrounded by friends and family and actively seeking out joy. Call Number: BG Spencer-Wendel
The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox by Maggie O'Farrell
When she receives a phone call explaining that her great aunt Esme is being released from Cauldstone Hospital—and needs somewhere to live—Iris Lockhart is stunned: she didn't know she had a great aunt. Esme was placed in a mental hospital at the age of sixteen and has lived there, forgotten and written out of her family's story, for sixty years. Although Iris enjoys her solitary life, she can't bear to put Esme in the miserable halfway house, so she takes her home with her for a trial weekend. The only living person who once knew all the secrets is Kitty, Esme's sister and Iris's grandmother, but since she is suffering from Alzheimer's, she is only able to express regrets in fragments. Moving between Esme's memories in 1930's India and Iris's contemporary life in Edinburgh, the story is crafted with tension, rich characterization, and a lyrical writing style.

SCHOPP: Meet the countrified Bills
by Mike Schopp
posted Jul 31 2012 10:16AM
I'll never forget the night my wife first heard my maternal grandparents speak.
I don't see my mom's parents much. They moved to Florida a decade or so ago, and they don't travel. We talk a couple times a year, and it wasn't until around my wedding -- maybe even after it -- that my wife and grandparents first spoke, by phone.
After the call my wife turned to me and asked, incredulous, "You're Southern?"
It's true. My grandparents grew up 40 miles apart in Eastern Kentucky. Look up rural in the dictionary and head southeast. I never spent long enough periods of time with them to adapt to their slower, country lifestyle but I do remember that a typical day with Grandma and Grandpa, who lived in Xenia, Ohio when I met them, was spent sitting on the patio playing board games and drinking lemonade. When we went out we didn't take a Metro to a museum, we took dirt roads to a petting zoo.
Maybe Bills fans of late have made the same stark observation about their football team. If you haven't, it's time: Your Buffalo Bills have been countrified.
The Bills speak with a drawl now. Their coach and general manager are both capable of a "dadgum". I'm guessing more than a few of these guys in the organization have the head of a dead animal mounted in their dens.
It might be a reach to say this reality speaks to how the Bills have a friendlier, gentler sound these days but to me it's not. There are a lot of nice guys here. Why does it matter? Well, I have an easier time connecting with a team that can articulate itself. On that front these guys are aces.
But it's more than that. As it happens, lots of football talent is grown in the south. And if the Bills, and Western New York -- with its many farms and fields that surround the city and inner suburbs -- appeal to that talent, that's a good thing.
It's already bearing fruit. Turns out the top free agent in football was turned on by the thought of having deer in his backyard. Ladies and gentlemen, Mario Williams. Kyle Williams told Bulldog and me last week that in talking about Buffalo with Mario Williams he mentioned how around here you can live any way you want. For Mario Williams of North Carolina that was in the hilly Southern outer-suburbs. As it is for Kyle Williams of Louisiana. And Jim Kelly of Western Pennsylvania. And Thurman Thomas of Texas. And Steve Tasker of Kansas. And so on.
Buddy Nix (hometown: Carbon Hill, Ala.,) and Chan Gailey (Gainesville, Ga.) are key players in this. The Bills right now are clearly and fully a Nix-Gailey operation. Ralph Wilson isn't around anymore. Russ Brandon and Jim Overdorf count the beans. Nix and Gailey are in charge, and they come across straightforward and sincere. Pass the biscuits and gravy.
When it comes to drawing players in, every sports team needs a hook. Some teams use their championship traditions as bait, others use glitzy new stadiums or arenas, and others can campaign through their popular coach or player as a draw. The Bills -- and the Sabres for that matter -- do not have these particular luxuries. So how do they do it?
Intentionally or not, the Bills are on to something. Come to Buffalo, where you can play in front of some of the sport's most loyal fans and then out of the office you can go hide, or hunt. Dallas and Washington and New England and New York each have a slickness to them.
And there ain't none of that here.

Manga aimed at young women.
Just yes.
Just no.
Yes. Why not? It's nothing to be embarrassed about.
No. It's emasculating. *Drinks beer and hammers dry wall*
ugh, i'm actually reading TOO much lately But they're so good lol. I like all the 'become a superstar' and 'become better at modeling/acting' and stuff
yaoi is "fucking ghey" by definition
You can always look past the yaoi and argue inside your mind that they're just really good friends in really awkward positions. Hard to do that in some shoujo, though... Some have really good stories, but they insist on shoving the yaoi up your throat....
... Okay, that didn't sound right.
I see, and yeh sometimes I do read Shojo Mangas.
"With a thrust it's a Spear; with a sweep it's a Naginata, when you hold it, it's a Longsword; a Cane can become each of those things!"-
Kugatachi Danki
Bored? Play BattleDawn
"The Best Strategy MMO Browser Game"
I do sometimes .. =] theres nothing to be embarrassed reading some .
Fruits basket, Hana Kimi may be my favorite, I read some Nana, I still can't tell if Full Metal panic was Shojo or Shonen... doesn't matter... If it's got guys, I read it, if it has girls, I tolerate it but read it, it it has hetero themes, I gulp hard and look past it to the cutesy funny light hearted story, and if it's got Yaoi, leave me alone for a while, I'm bunking down for the long haul, baby.
But, thinking as a man rather than a gay man, I'd say only a man who admits to himself that he likes things that may be girly is really a man anyways. I mean men cook and clean, at least I do.. and I get smashed and read blood fests ike Gantz and Battle Royale, with gusto... gosh, I love Gantz... release more please manga gods...
Thats a word, or many more, from Zed_
I choose to believe it's love that we live for... love that we die for... and for love that we are remembered and live on.

By KALYNN FAILStaff Writer
"Whatever you are, be a good one." --Abraham Lincoln.
The class of 2009 was 15 strong. As Principal Nolan Johnson welcomed friends and family he stated that graduation is a passage from youth to adulthood, and hoped that it would be a foundation marked with learning and service. Co-Valedictorians Brennan Bigelow and Crosby Hatt both used the class motto as a basis for their addresses. Brennan had sought the advice from the Green River High School Class of 1956 Valedictorian Dean King, who is his grandfather. The advice he received was to "Plant your corn early" and "don't put your horse in the river unless you know where you're comin' out." As he contemplated how this advice would apply to him and his classmates, he decided it meant to "Be Prepared" and with today's economic situation they will need to further their education and be ready for anything. As for putting your horse in the river without knowing where you're getting out, as young adults they will be facing trials and currents in life, and if they don't watch out, they might get caught in the current and drug down.
Crosby quoted Winston Churchill - "Success is the ability to go from one failure to another without losing our enthusiasm." She went on to say that their future is bright before them and that they must persevere and endure to the end.
Teacher Patrick Brady also spoke at graduation, he polled the senior class to see what they were planning to do next, his responses were - marines, missions, college - SUU, CEU, Dixie, and Snow, army, boat mechanic, and start a family. They all have plans to move on. He gave them some advice on life - 1) practice gratitude, 2) smile more, 3)decide to make a difference, 4) fret not, 5)count and collect your blessings, and 6)be optimistic. He explained that worry and stress would not get them anywhere and that they needed to develop positive attitudes to help them succeed. He then presented them with a pair of rose colored glasses so they could look at the world through rose colored glasses; to get a different perspective on life.
The seniors prepared a slide show and true to form there was a hitch in the show, so while technical issues were being fixed, the class sang "Time of Your Life" with Brennan Bigelow and Marvin Arnold accompanying them on the guitar.
Principal Johnson presented the class of 2009 and School Board member Royd Hatt presented them with their diplomas.
In his closing remarks, senior class president Marvin Arnold encouraged his classmates to make something of their lives, whatever you are, be a good one.

Workers and bohemians
That in this land of abounding wealth, during a time of perhaps unexampled prosperity,
Privileged Edwardians lived a rarefied existence, hardly acknowledging the harsher and darker side of life. High society depended upon the 'secret' masses who worked unobtrusively for low wages and lived in crowded conditions. They worked as domestic servants, labourers in factories or in fields, or at home as seamstresses and knitters paid by the piece. Costermongers or barrowmen earned what they could
Some artists and their wives rejected the restrictive middle-class codes of conduct and lived as bohemians, adopting the free-flowing dress of gypsies. This 'artistic dress' was also recommended by the 'maternal feminists' who claimed that if women wore freer clothes they would do less damage to their bodies, and thus be able to bear healthier children.

Since its creation a decade ago, the Mr & Mrs Smith hotel collection has captured the imagination of travellers all around the world. The award-winning travel company began as an independent, in-the-know handbook to the very best boutique hotels - those unforgettable places to stay that get the balance of style, service, atmosphere and authenticity just right.
Mr & Mrs Smith has cherry-picked the most stylish and seductive hotels across the globe exclusively for ba.com. The collection includes everything from intimate, owner-run guesthouses to luxury city stays. They are the perfect places to indulge yourself, whether you're away with a group of friends, on business, with the kids or enjoying a romantic weekend for two.
Mr & Mrs Smith was conceived as an insider authority on boutique hotels that people could trust. They judge hotels on the qualities that really mean something to guests: the experience, the originality of design, attention to detail, and all those unique, personal touches that live long in the memory. They could be set in historic buildings like the Canal House in Amsterdam or in designer beach retreats like Villa by Barton G in Miami – what they have in common is romance, character and an element of discovery.
With two of the most generous loyalty schemes in the travel industry, Smith and British Airways offer a wealth of additional benefits to booking trips on ba.com. As well as accruing Avios points on each booking, if you are a SilverSmith or GoldSmith member, you will also receive 1% of your total booking value in Smith loyalty money. Plus every customer gets a 'Smith Extra' at each hotel - this could be a bottle of champagne, a free spa treatment, late check-out or a bespoke gift from the hotel.
We felt it was important to share the opinions from Mr & Mrs Smith's admired and respected panel of reviewers too. Smith's reviewers are a worldwide panel of friends and people trusted to report back. They personally visit every hotel, so you can be rest assured that each hotel featured has been bed-tested and really is the best in class. They will give you the insider knowledge you'd expect from a close friend who will really tell you how it is.
A peaceful hideaway from the bustling medina, where the owners' many antique finds give a shot of character to the villa's laid-back luxury.
Featuring trappings of traditional riad interiors – mirror-tiled feature walls, slouchy low-slung sofas and an earthy colour scheme of terracotta and taupe.
