A Guide To Buying Art Online
Arriving in the city of Angels, I bore in mind the famous Warhol quote "I love Los Angeles, and I love Hollywood. They're beautiful. Everybody's plastic, but I love plastic. I want to be plastic." I was ready to live in a surreal Disneyland for grown-ups and I was also honestly prepared to feel a little lonely.
Over many, many brunches at the Chateau Marmont, my dear friend and ultimate spirit guide for LA, musician Harper Simon helped me come up with the ultimate to-do list for visiting the city.
The only problem? After finding just about everything wonderful, I'm not sure I want to go home to piles of laundry and cooking myself pesto pasta each night to recoup the costs of living as a Hollywood housewife. Follow along on my adventures in La La Land.
Brunch at the Chateau is not exactly a cheap way to pass the morning, but it is really something you need to do to fully experience the Hollywood people-spotting experience, (you could swap in eating by the pool at the Beverley Hills Hotel for celeb watching). But the sexy hangovers appearing in the garden at Andre Balazs premier location for a leisurely breakfast really beats all.

Due to the recent cuteness of several forumites (either intentionally or unintentionally done) to bypass curse words through the AC, an update on the policy has been put into place. Although most mods aren't mentioning it, I figure that I would since the penalties of violation are much more severe than what they previously were. That way it won't be like it was totally sprung by suprise. Consider this the only warning on the matter.

The update to the policy on swearing is now no-tolerance, that is to say that every offender gets suspended on the first offence (using a word that the AC doesn't recognize or using a spelling that actively tries to circumvent the AC with alternate characters such as using "$" in place of "s"). The use of the language should be immediately removed from the thread and then the user should be reported to myself or Steve.

RE:Bahama Mama !
Thanks for the background......My intentions where to coordinate a trip/info for the fact of getting folks together, not to go for free. Recognizing that there is some leverage that the site and you could offer I will bow out and see what develops at a later date.......
RE:Bahama Mama !
We have some folks from the region as well as folks who have visited the region on board. I've spoken via email with several businesses down there, and such a plan would be interesting I'm sure.
My hopes are to bail out on the misery of winter to visit the Bahamas with the wife, and sneak the bonefishing into the mornings and evenings around the mid-day island hopping with my "born to shop" wife.
Not sure how this would fit into a group 'clave' but then again the wife might not go for it despite sounding v-e-r-y interested when I discuss it between November and April.
As far as group dynamics, I know that in some cases a group of six clavers means the sponsor/organizer goes free. It was always my intent to reduce the claver's costs by one/sixth and leverage some advertising or web services to reduce rates for the group.
I have also talked to time-share folks who can get lodging for virtually nothing if you're willing to listen to a mid-day schpeel from the time-share sales person. Small price to pay for lodging in paradise and mornings free.
Anyway, if you're working something for the Bahamas, count me in - and let's discuss what the group dynamics can do for the adventurers.
Bahama Mama !
Juro and Gang........
At one time, I heard somewhere that there might be some interest in organizing a Bonefish/Permit/Tarpon excursion to the Islands of the Bahamas or the Yucatan (B'nai Biospere).........is there still some interest in this ??? I would be willing to coordinate getting info, rates, etc..........if we can get enough interest....
So what do you all say ???

For Sheldon Whitehouse, claiming the US Senate seat held by two Chafees over 30 years came down to being the right man in the right place at the right time.
Although the high-stakes race appeared to tighten in the week or two before Tuesday's election, Whitehouse clearly maintained the advantage in a campaign season very favorable to Democratic candidates, even with the reservoir of goodwill that attaches to the Chafee name in Rhode Island. "Was I ever concerned? Sure, you're always concerned," a beaming Whitehouse told me as he made the media rounds on the 17th floor of the Providence Biltmore after his 53 percent-47 percent victory over Chafee, but he felt a lot of confidence as well.
By relentlessly framing the Senate race as a referendum on the unpopular presidency of George W. Bush, Whitehouse's campaign effectively scaled back the idiosyncratic personal appeal of Chafee, a very likeable moderate and independent Republican who became a victim of the national GOP's sharp move to the right.
With the control of the Senate still unresolved as the Phoenix was going to press, Whitehouse, 51, pointed to his victory as a step in the right direction. In assessing his win, the former US attorney and state attorney general, who suffered a sharp personal setback when Myrth York edged him in the 2002 Democratic gubernatorial primary, expressed "a sense of awe and humility that will take me a little while to get used to," while also asserting he can be "an effective source of new ideas" in the Senate.
Whitehouse's victory was powered by a 14,000-vote advantage in Providence, a six percent edge in Cranston, and big margins in such reliably Democratic redoubts as Central Falls, Johnston, Pawtucket, North Providence, and Woonsocket. Chafee claimed an eight percent advantage in his home community of Warwick, yet his winning margin in other communities was too narrow to ward off the Democratic tide.
While Lieutenant Governor Charles Fogarty fell short in a surprisingly competitive challenge to Republican Governor Donald L. Carcieri, losing by a mere two percentage points, giddy Democrats had reason to be otherwise happy about their broad slate of victories. As US Representative James R. Langevin noted from the Biltmore stage, Democratic efforts in Congress have been "an uphill battle every step of the way with this Republican majority. After tonight, all that changes."
Indeed, with Democrats across the country reaping the anti-Republican wind, expectations about their ability to deliver will soon mount. US Representative Patrick J. Kennedy, in a guaranteed crowd-pleaser for a Rhode Island audience, noted how one of the first likely acts of the new House session in January will be to elect an Italian-American woman, Nancy Pelosi, as speaker.
Kennedy, who has been in the minority since joining the House in 1994, says the broad Democratic wins offer a chance to show there's "a lot of serious policy that is behind the politics, and people shouldn't forget that it isn't just about festooned rooms." By way of example, he said Democrats hope to raise the minimum wage and to cut in half interest rates on loans for current college students.

BLUE SPRINGS – Toyota Motor Manufacturing Mississippi donated 29 cars on Thursday to organizations across Northeast Mississippi.
Itawamba Community College and Northeast Mississippi Community College each got seven vehicles, and emergency management agencies in Pontotoc, Union and Lee counties each received five.
The cars, with a total value of $403,000, are intended to serve as training vehicles for schools and first responders.
Brad Crowder, director of the automotive technology program at ICC, said the cars will be used to train students on the latest in automotive technology.
"The 2011 (models) will really help with diagnostic training for students," Crowder said.
Phil Rodi, vice president of manufacturing at TMMMS, said the donation was part of the Japanese automaker's nationwide program to donate cars used for teaching. The vehicles are drivable, but aren't certified to go on roads.
"These cars have been used for training for our team members," he said. "We build, rebuild. … it's a lot of repetition and skills training. We're also training for inspection. We have a lot of people who have never built a car before, so this is valuable training."
Students at ICC will have the opportunity to practice disassembly and assembly of features such as the hands-free audio that their current cars don't have.
"Toyota is continuing to set a great example for corporate citizenship" in the region, said ICC President David Cole, who lauded the manufacturer's commitment to invest in Northeast Mississippi.
First responders – particularly emergency management agencies and fire departments – will use their Corollas to train for automobile accidents.
"We do a lot of extrication training, but most of our cars are old," said Pontotoc Fire Chief Lance Martin.
He said it is beneficial for his division's 29 firemen to be able to train on cars with newer types of steel.
Martin also said he'll be able to use the cars for educating youth. Before prom night, he plans to bring out a group of seniors to demonstrate how deadly automobile accidents can be, especially when texting and driving.
Rickey Jaggers from Pontotoc County's EMA anticipates being able to train volunteers on advanced airbags. The new placement of airbags in rear and side panels can make rescues more dangerous for those unfamiliar with the enhanced safety features.
"We don't get to train with newer cars very often, and we wouldn't have been able to do this without Toyota's help," said Curt Clayton of Union County EMA.
Dennis Seid contributed to this report.

I can assure you that if an outsider were to say it loud enough, they would be confronted.
Don't let BobbyB of RTF hear you call anyone a Coonass. He's as Cajun as they come and he'll use all 300 lbs to correct the offender.
The thread is about oil and I'd like to keep it that way. I only confronted sambo because of what he wrote. No one should ever confuse a warm & friendly people for being stupid! Then assumed they were on the government dole. Afterall, we all know the bank sambo works for didn't accept any TARP money.

text: In light of the Navy Yard Shooting I am sure there is going to be more calls for Gun Control. However in this case and many others like it there has been multiple opportunities to have prevented the incident if it were not for the lack of mental health services at any level of government. The need for it seems genuine with as many as 1 in 5 suffering from some form of mental health illness. The resources for vets returning with PTSD is sadly very overburdened. I have read multiple articles about how a lot of these people are dumped off at jails and hospitals that are not properly equipped to handle these people. If not that they are left to the world, where not only are they suffering, but also a threat to themselves and others.

Palmaria palmata, or dulse is reddish brown and thought of as a delicacy by many. It has doubtless been harvested for many centuries but, the earliest recording is 1400 years ago; St Columba and the monks of Iona ate it. Icelandic peoples also used it from early times. Now it is being cultivated and sold as a gourmet food. In Nova Scotia it is called Sea Parsley.
Dulse seaweed (Rhodymenia palmata) comes from a sea vegetable that has a fine distinct taste of the sea. Naturally mineral rich, our raw Organic Dulse powder can be easily included in practically any dish. Sprinkle it on entrees, soups and salads. Or add it to smoothies, teas and iced drinks. Our organic Dulse powder comes from the pristine and protected oceans off the coast of Canada.
Dulse is also a great natural source of Iodine / Potassium iodide (KI). Iodine is a chemical element essential for the production of thyroid hormones that regulate growth and metabolism. Iodine / Potassium iodide (KI), administered orally immediately after exposure to certain types of radiation, may be used to protect the thyroid from ingested radioactive iodine. But Potassium iodide (KI) / Iodine would only be effective if the radiation contains radioactive iodine. This natural form of Iodine from Dulse is absorbed by your body more slowly and safely than chemical or synthetic iodine. Further, Dulse helps promote an alkaline pH balance within the body and also boosts the immune system.
Dulse, contains around 10 - 20% protein and a whole slew of vitamins and minerals including, Alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, cobalt, lutein, niacin, phosphorus, riboflavin, selenium, silicon, sodium, tin, zeaxanthin, calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron, iodine, manganese, copper, chromium, zinc, vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, C, E and zinc. Unlike other seaweeds, it is relatively low in sodium.
Dulse powder is an excellent source of other phytochemicals and minerals. The complex polysaccharides in the herb make it a gentle alternative to psyllium or senna for the use of constipation. There are anecdotal reports that the daily use of a few flakes of Dulse can relieve cyclic mastalgia after two months.
Dulse is eaten also with fish and butter, boiled with milk and rye flour, or as a relish. The gelatinous substance contained in Dulse is a thickening agent and imparts a reddish color to the food with which it is mixed.
In several traditions of European herbal medicine, Dulse powder was used to remove parasites, to relieve constipation and as a treatment for scurvy. Diets deficient in iodine increase the risk of retarded brain development in children (cretinism), mental slowness, high cholesterol, lethargy, fatigue, depression, weight gain, and goiter: a swelling of the thyroid gland in the neck.
Some possible traditional uses of Raw Organic Dulse Seaweed Powder may include:
● Ability to scavenge chemicals, drugs, heavy metals & radioisotopes throughout the body
● Great natural source of Iodine / Potassium iodide (KI)
● May Strengthen immunity
● One of the richest plant sources of calcium
● Removal of parasites
● More vitamin C than oranges
● May Relieve constipation
● Nurturing healthy heart vessels
● Aids in waste movement & digestion
● High mineral content, especially: iodine, calcium, iron, magnesium
● May Relieve cyclic mastalgia
● Anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory properties
● Aids in Fighting scurvy
● Polysaccharides: important in the prevention of degenerative diseases
● Strengthens an underactive thyroid
● Excellent source of bioavailable iron
● May play a role in lowering risk of estrogen-related problems
● Cholesterol-lowering effects
● Antiviral, anticoagulant, & antithrombotic properties
● Contains fucoidans which may have anti-inflammatory benefits
● Natural source of the mineral vanadium which appears to play a multi-faceted role in regulation of carbohydrate metabolism & blood sugar
Suggested Use: Take 1/4 teaspoon 1 - 3 times daily.
● sprinkle on salad or add to salad dressings
● add to soups, stews, chowders and casseroles
● add to fish sauces for sea flavor
● bake in breads
● complements most cheeses, nuts and seeds, potatoes, tomatoes, most seafood's, most fruits, all salads and all sea vegetables

JACKSON — Abortion opponents are pushing for another Mississippi ballot initiative that would define life as beginning at conception.
It's similar to a proposal that 58 percent of voters rejected in November 2011.
Personhood Mississippi filed paperwork Tuesday with the secretary of state's office, saying it intends to launch a new initiative.
After a ballot title and summary are prepared by the attorney general's office, the initiative's sponsors would have one year to gather at least 107,216 signatures to get the measure on the ballot. That means the earliest likely date for a vote would be in November 2015, coinciding with the next governor's election.
A group called Parents Against Personhood says defining life as beginning at fertilization could block in vitro fertilization by granting legal rights to embryos.

The heating system for your dorm is controlled by a boiler, which is natural gas fired. This boiler heats water that gets pumped through a Main Heating Valve (MHV) and then the radiators in each room at Radnor.
There are temperature sensors (See Photo) in Rooms 108, 215, 216, 307, 316, and 401. The energy management system averages the six sensor temperatures and "calls for heat" when the average is below set point (usually between 68°F and 72°F). On that call for heat, the MHV in Radnor basement opens, sending hot water to the radiators in each room.
These rooms with temperature sensors can have a negative effect on the other rooms. For example, if the student in Room 108 (which has a sensor) opens the window, that sensor will cause the average temperature to drop and the heating system to respond by running the pump to warm the space. This sometimes causes an over-heating condition in the building. Conversely, if the student in Room 108 uses a space heater, that sensor will cause the average temperature to rise and the heating system to respond by shutting off the pump and likely making the rooms too cold.
Each student has a knob on their radiator that controls air flow. (See photo) This knob will not adjust the temperature of the air being distributed, but will increase or decrease the air flow. It is important to keep the space around your radiators clean and clear of personal items. Blocking air flow to the radiators can cause poor heat circulation.
**Note: The main heating valve closes any time the outside air temperature is above 60°F. This means that the heat is essentially "off" when the outside temperature reaches 60°F.
Between the hours of 11:00AM and 3:00PM Monday through Friday during the heating season, the target temperature range in all the dorms will be set back to 65-67°F.

A provocative look at the world's most difficult, seemingly ineradicable problems—and the surprising stories of the countries that solved them.
In recent weeks, Western governments have begun subtly shifting their positions on Syria. The Obama administration seems to have quietly dropped its demand that President Bashar al-Assad resign as a precondition of peace talks. Instead, reports suggest it has embraced proposals that would allow Assad to be part of an interim deal. The new approach implies that the White House and its allies believe that the Syrian president might be open to a compromise that could end his country's four-year civil war.

"Whether out of reticence, ambivalence, tactical calculation or the difficulty of making policy in Washington, the [Obama] administration's response to the human rights violators it has faced in five years in office has been mealy-mouthed and confusing," writes Jonathan Tepperman.

Jonathan Tepperman says a decision by the United States to intervene militarily in Syria must be made with hard facts and an honest decision about what standing up for U.S. interests and values will entail.

By Adam Armour/The Itawamba County Times
Editor's Note: This is the 10th in an 18-part series about Northeast Mississippi downtowns.
FULTON – Downtown Fulton is going through a bit of a renaissance.
Less than a decade ago, it would have been safe to call the city's modest downtown area a "ghost town." Besides a smattering of long-established businesses, the Itawamba County Courthouse, City Hall and weekday traffic to Itawamba Community College campus, downtown Fulton was mostly a collection of blank storefronts and empty buildings … a relic from a bygone area.
But that's starting to change. Within the past few years, a new batch of businesses has cropped up. The city's downtown Playgarden Park – opened in 2010 – has given people a reason to come downtown and stay for a spell. Many of those empty buildings have been filled with restaurants or retail shops. These days, there's daily foot traffic and annual events like the Stand By Your Grill BBQ Championship in the summer or October's Fall Festival.
Drive through downtown on a warm Saturday and the park will be filled with families. It's like a switch has been flipped. It's alive.
"Last Saturday, I drove through downtown and saw three birthday parties at the park. Three," said Chip Mills, a local attorney who recently set up shop downtown … in fact, in the same building his father, Chief Judge Michael P. Mills, once practiced law.
It's a good sign, he said. People are returning downtown, bringing with them that small-town atmosphere that many, including Mills, feel was lost with the rise of "big box" retail stores in the '70s and '80s. In a way, the revitalization is, if not an open act of rebellion, certainly a turn against that.
"It's almost as if people have seen that the downtown area can thrive again," Mills said. "There's just something special you can attach to a small town and small business."
The business hub
One block west of Mill's office is Downtown Floral, which opened its doors in 2011 and was among the first of what could be considered the area's "new batch of businesses." Co-owner Kevin Knight said that part of the appeal of opening a business downtown is that it represents the true heart of Fulton and, in a way, the county as a whole. The county courthouse is downtown, as is the library and sheriff's department. Some of the county's oldest stores – Bob Steele's Flower and Gift Shop, Lee Ann Ladies & Children's Shop, S&W Pharmacy, Riley Building Supplies – also call the area home. The county's history is encompassed in downtown Fulton.
Knight called it the "true business hub of Fulton."
It's a sentiment with which Mills, independently, agreed.
"You can hit all of your personal needs in downtown Fulton," he said, listing places to purchase items for the home, get a hair cut and grab a bite to eat all within walking distance of each other. All of these businesses are individually owned, which Mills said makes patronizing them more appealing.
"In a place like Fulton, if you've lived and grown up here, you personally know the people who own the businesses here," Mills said. "The fact that you're going to see the owner of a business (other places) puts a personal face to the business."
In a way, he said, it's a return to the way things used to be.
Returning home
Sharlene Parrish, co-owner of J West & Marly Kait – a trendy clothing store that recently opened in the former home of Senter Drug Store, one street over from Knight's shop – recently returned to her hometown of Fulton after years of being away.
It's good to be back, she said. It feels like home.
"We're getting back to the old downtown Fulton," she said. "It's comfortable … personable."
When Parrish and her nephew, Jake West, opened their clothing store in November, it followed a massive series of renovations to the space. One of their goals, Parrish said, was to bring out the old charm of the space by peeling away the walls to expose the original brick and incorporating the drug store's hulking cast-iron safe into the decor.
Parrish said it was all part of "bringing downtown's history back."
It's part of what brought Knight downtown, too: The area has charm. With age comes character … something Knight said he wanted to capture when he opened his business. He imagines other business owners feel the same.
"Everything became so commercialized in the '80s and '90s, which left out a lot of downtown areas like Fulton's," Knight said. "But there's a uniqueness in what downtown Fulton has to offer, and everyone wants to be unique these days … So, we're backtracking. What once was, will be again. It's the turning of a page."

Home > Paying for College > Reduced Out-of-State Tuition Options >
How to Apply for Reciprocity
Applying made easier.
When Should I Apply?
First, apply for admission to the participating reciprocity college or university. You do not have to apply for reciprocity at the same time.
Second, apply for reciprocity online or fill out a paper application. Eligible undocumented students must complete a paper reciprocity application. New applications are available each spring for the following academic year. Your best insurance for receiving the reciprocity tuition price at the time of registration is to apply during the spring or summer before classes start in the fall.
If you want to be approved for reciprocity for the entire academic year, you must apply online or have the paper application postmarked by the last day of scheduled classes for the fall (or first semester) term. Applications filed online or postmarked after the last day of a term will be processed only for the remaining terms in the academic year.
Which Application Do I Complete if I Want Reciprocity Benefits for the Summer Term?
The summer term is treated as the last term of each academic year. For example, if you wanted reciprocity benefits for the 2016 summer term, you would complete the reciprocity application for the 2015-2016 academic year which started with the 2015 fall term and goes through the end of summer term 2016.
Are There Any Exceptions to Filling Out an Application?
Yes. If you are a Minnesota resident (including eligible undocumented students) and enroll in a North Dakota reciprocity college or university within 12 months of graduating from a Minnesota high school, you may not need to complete a reciprocity application. Just present your official Minnesota high school transcript to the participating reciprocity college or university. Check with the college to make sure it participates.
If you are a Minnesota resident (including eligible undocumented students) attending any public college or university in South Dakota, your eligibility for reciprocity benefits will be determined by the campus you attend. You should not submit an application to the Minnesota Office of Higher Education.
If you are a Minnesota resident (including eligible undocumented students) planning on attending a technical college in Wisconsin, you should apply directly at the college you plan to attend.
Do I Need to Reapply Each Year?
Your reciprocity benefits will be automatically renewed each year if you are attending a reciprocity college or university in Wisconsin, North Dakota, and South Dakota, and earned credits in the previous 12 months from the same school. You will need to reapply only if you are not enrolled for 12 months and then decide to re-enroll. In certain cases, your reciprocity benefits will not be renewed if your college determines you are no longer a Minnesota resident.
Where Can I Get a Reciprocity Application?
If you are a Minnesota student, the fastest way to apply is by using our online application. Eligible undocumented students must complete a paper reciprocity application. If you apply electronically, you do not need to complete a paper application. If you are not able to apply online, you can get a paper application at your high school guidance counselor's office or from participating reciprocity colleges or universities. You can print or download a paper application from our website, or request it by writing to:
Office of Higher Education
1450 Energy Park Drive, Suite 350
St. Paul, MN 55108
Tel: (651) 642-0567 or (800) 657-3866

U.S. Energy Department Offering up $4 Million to Develop Wireless EV Chargers
Shane McGlaun
April 12, 2012 10:08 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Funding winners will be announced this summer
There are many things keeping electric vehicles from entering the mainstream market today. Chief among those is limited driving range, high cost compared to a traditional vehicle, and hassles from having to plug the car in to charge at home and on the go. Electric vehicles will certainly get cheaper over the years as the technology matures, and battery breakthroughs will lengthen the driving range.
Now, the U.S. Energy Department is offering up to $4 million to develop
wireless chargers for electric vehicles
to address concerns with having to plug the vehicle for power. The goal is to develop wireless technology that would transfer power from the electric grid to the vehicle battery packs without the driver having to plug-in. The ability to simply pull into the garage or parking space and have your car automatically recharge would be a huge improvement over systems in place today.
The $4 million in funding is being made available through the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Vehicle Technologies Program. The program believes that by offering wireless charging technology, consumers will be more likely to purchase electric vehicles. The hope is to accelerate the development of wireless charging solutions in the near-term with the funding opportunity.
The Energy Department wants to select as many as four projects for research and development and wireless charging systems that can be integrated into a production vehicle and tested in the real world. The department hopes vehicles using this technology could be on the roads within this decade. Four million dollars doesn't sound like a lot of funding for as many as four projects.
The selections for funding are expected to be announced this summer. The charger will be aimed at operators of light duty electric vehicles primarily focusing on static and possibly quasi-dynamic charging. The program deadline for letters of intent is April 25 with a full application submission deadline set at May 31 of this year.

My issue is with you condoning such a hit. I never said it was illegal but it was indeed unwarranted and dirty and you see nothing wrong with it. Just pointing that out. he could have NOT led with his helmet just as easy and pushed him down.
Football is tough and I like it. Hits like that happen and are legal I know and I get it, but that doesn't mean it's not Dirty. it's your choice to approve of not of such plays.
I for one think it's absolutely no different than a sucker punch.

|Worldwide Flyfishing Discussion Talk flyfishing with members around the world!
|Topic Review (Newest First)
A longing to set my lands in order.
Happy Easter - al
April is the cruelest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.
What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow
Out of this stony rubbish? Son of Man.
You cannot say or guess, for you know only
A heap of broken images, where the sun beats,
And the dead tree gives no shelter, the cricket no relief.
And the dry stone no sound of water. Only
There is shadow under this red rock,
(Come in under the shadow of this red rock),
And I will show you something different from either
Your shadow at morning striding behind you
Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you;
I will show you fear in a handful of dust.
Here is no water but only rock
Rock and no water and the sandy road
The road winding above the mountains
Which are mountains of rock without water
If there were water we should stop and drink
Amongst the rock one cannot stop and think
Sweat is dry and feet are in the sand
If there were only water amongst the rock
Dead mountain mouth of carious teeth cannot spit
Here one can neither stand nor lie nor sit
There is not even silence in the mountains
I sat upon the shore
Fishing, with the arid plain behind me
Shall I at least set my lands in order?
....These fragments I have shored against my ruins
Peace. Peace. Peace.
-- T.S. Eliot (excerpted from the Waste Land)
Second star to the right and straight on till morning. It's about that time again.
Overall the last five months have been a cold cruel slap of reality. I'm down but not out. Yo Adrian! I can can beat this guy if he just keeps hittin me. [img]http://184.108.40.206/images/flytalk/Wilk.gif" border="0" align="middle">
I'll see you at the clave. Beans, homefries, bacon or sausage and how would like your eggs done at 4:00A.M? <img src="http://188.8.131.52/images/flytalk/Wilk.gif[/img]
And ....
I want to grow up, still and more,
to get a little older each day and a little wiser
to help the 8 year old believe that all dreams come true
that paper work and office politics are a learning journey
that the stillness of the morning is worth the night of waiting
that the subtle breeze is a wisper of faith
that the knowledge of Ephemeroptera is a gift
that it's Easter weekend and I'm going fishing
and that my best buddy, the 8 year old neighbour's kid, will add to my pleasure for the day by learning about BWO's
|Bob Pink
RE:Resignation (Nah!, let's call it an affirmation!)
Wow ssully! Nothing like April 15th to get a person feelin' a little down. Now, it's time to snap out of it. The spring is (supposedly) here. We need you leading the charge to the striper shores. Let's get together and chase some spring arrivals some weekend soon.
I want to ride my bike all over and to the swimming hole get a wicked sunburn.
I want to play stick ball all day.
I want to go fishing off a bridge and catch lots of flounder.
I want to drive my dads 54 olds up and down the driveway.
I want to play with my dog Scamp boy I still miss him after all these years.
I want to go to the drive in with my jammies on and play on the swings.
I want to throw water balloons at the girls.
I want to go camping with a can of beans and a can of sterno.
I want to wait for the icecream truck to come by after supper.
I want to stay up all night long listing to the radio.
I want summer to never end.
AND....I want to go to Rocky Point on a rainy April day with the neighborhood gang, toss worms, and catch kibbys, perch, and hornpout, and think I'm the worlds best angler!
Subject: Resignation
I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult. I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of an 8 year-old again.
I want to go to McDonald's and think that it's a four star restaurant.
I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make a sidewalk with rocks.
I want to think M&Ms are better than money because you can eat them.
I want to lie under a big oak tree and run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summer's day.
I want to return to a time when life was simple; When all you knew were colors, multiplication tables and nursery rhymes, but that didn't bother you, because you didn't know what you didn't know and you didn't care.
All you knew was to be happy because you were blissfully unaware of all the things that should make you worried or upset.
I want to think the world is fair. That everyone is honest and good.
I want to believe that anything is possible.
I want to be oblivious to the complexities of life and be overly excited by the little things again.
I want to live simple again. I don't want my day to consist of computer crashes, mountains of paperwork, depressing news, how to survive more days in the month than there is money in the bank, doctor bills, gossip, illness and loss of loved ones.
I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, justice, peace, dreams, the imagination, mankind and making angels in the snow.
So . . . here's my checkbook and my car-keys, my credit card bills and my 401K statements. I am officially resigning from adulthood. And if you want to discuss this further, you'll have to catch me first, cause........
......"Tag! You're it."
Pass this to someone and brighten their day by helping them remember the Simple things in Life.

By Tiernan Ray
Shares of local goods and services listings firm ReachLocal (RLOC) are down 36 cents, or 2.5%, at $13.79, after the company this afternoon reported Q2 revenue and earnings per share that beat analysts' expectations, but projected this quarter's revenue below consensus and cut its year revenue view, citing the effect of a stronger dollar.
Revenue in the three months ended in June rose 13%, year over year, to $127 million, yielding a net loss of a penny per share.
The Street had been expecting $125 million and a 3-cent loss.
CEO Zorik Gordon called the results "solid" and noted international revenue growth of 41%, which he called "strong."
For the current quarter, the company sees revenue of $130.5 million to $132.5 million, which is below consensus for $139 million.
For the full year, the company projects revenue of $515 million to $520 million, down from a prior forecast for $530 million to $540 million, and below the consensus for $529 million.
Remarkding on the reduced outlook for the year's revenue, the company's chief financial officer, Ross Landsbaum, remarked that "The significant currency impact of the recent US Dollar strength against the Australian dollar and other currencies in our foreign markets is the primary driver of our reduced expectations for revenue for the second half of the year."
To some extent, ReachLocal's business overlaps with the local "deals" advertising and commerce efforts of Groupon (GRPN), Amazon.com (AMZN), and Google (GOOG), though it is a somewhat different business at the same time.

Respiratory alkalosis is a condition marked by low levels of carbon dioxide in the blood due to breathing excessively.
See also: Alkalosis
Alkalosis - respiratory
Common causes include:
Any lung disease that leads to shortness of breath can also cause respiratory alkalosis.
The symptoms may include:
Your doctor or nurse will perform a physical exam. Tests that may be done include:
Treatment is aimed at the condition that causes respiratory alkalosis. Breathing into a paper bag -- or using a mask that causes you to re-breathe carbon dioxide -- sometimes helps reduce symptoms.
What will happen depends on the condition that is causing the respiratory alkalosis.
Seizures may occur if the alkalosis is extremely severe. This is very rare.
Call your health care provider if you have any symptoms of lung disease, such as chronic cough or shortness of breath.

I was flattered when Becky at Kinexxions tagged me with the Thinking Blogger award six months ago, and a little embarrassed, as I feel like a pretty inadequate thinker when I read the terrific work of others in this genea-blogging community. Well, my moment of undeserved glory has long since passed, and I'm even more embarrassed to say that I never finished writing my response to the award.
So, in the interest of wrapping up the business of 2007 in my usual meme-slacker style, I'll dispense with the rules and instead just offer up some links I think might be of interest to you:
- strange maps - You'll have to go there and see! History, fantasy, even a map tattoo, it's always interesting and you're bound to learn something new.
- Paleo-Future - a look back at what people of the past thought the future would be like.
- Michigan in Pictures - more than just pictures, interesting text too!
- WordReference - an excellent online translation tool for Spanish, French, Italian, and now Portuguese. Unlike the quick & dirty translators, this one aims to help you use a language correctly. I hope they add German someday!
- Fashion-Era - a wonderfully informative source for fashion history and more. Learn about clothing rationing during WWII, Edwardian corsetry, Victorian hair and hat styles... you get the idea. You may find information that will help you date your old photos.
