Three Lives.
Each One as She May: Paras. 401468
And so Melanctha Herbert began once more to wander and with men Rose never thought it was right she should be with.
One day Melanctha had been very busy with the different kinds of ways she wandered. It was a pleasant late afternoon at the end of a long summer. Melanctha was walking along, and she was free and excited. Melanctha had just parted from a white man and she had a bunch of flowers he had left with her. A young buck, a mulatto, passed by and snatched them from her. It certainly is real sweet in you sister, to be giving me them pretty flowers, he said to her.
I dont see no way it can make them sweeter to have with you, said Melanctha. What one man gives, another man had certainly just as much good right to be taking. Keep your old flowers then, I certainly dont never want to have them. Melanctha Herbert laughed at him and took them. No, I didnt nohow think you really did want to have them. Thank you kindly mister, for them. I certainly always do admire to see a man always so kind of real polite to people. The man laughed, You aint nobodys fool I can say for you, but you certainly are a damned pretty kind of girl, now I look at you. Want men to be polite to you? All right, I can love you, thats real polite now, want to see me try it. I certainly aint got no time this evening just only left to thank you I certainly got to be real busy now, but I certainly always will admire to see you. The man tried to catch and stop her, Melanctha Herbert laughed and dodged so that he could not touch her. Melanctha went quickly down a side street near her and so the man for that time lost her.
For some days Melanctha did not see any more of her mulatto. One day Melanctha was with a white man and they saw him. The white man stopped to speak to him. Afterwards Melanctha left the white man and she then soon met him. Melanctha stopped to talk to him. Melanctha Herbert soon began to like him.
Jem Richards, the new man Melanctha had begun to know now, was a dashing kind of fellow, who had to do with fine horses and with racing. Sometimes Jem Richards would be betting and would be good and lucky, and be making lots of money. Sometimes Jem would be betting badly, and then he would not be having any money.
Jem Richards was a straight man. Jem Richards always knew that by and by he would win again and pay it, and so Jem mostly did win again, and then he always paid it.
Jem Richards was a man other men always trusted. Men gave him money when he lost all his, for they all knew Jem Richards would win again, and when he did win they knew, and they were right, that he would pay it.
Melanctha Herbert all her life had always loved to be with horses. Melanctha liked it that Jem knew all about fine horses. He was a reckless man was Jem Richards. He knew how to win out, and always all her life, Melanctha Herbert loved successful power.
Melanctha Herbert always liked Jem Richards better. Things soon began to be very strong between them.
Jem was more game even than Melanctha. Jem always had known what it was to have real wisdom. Jem had always all his life been understanding.
Jem Richards made Melanctha Herbert come fast with him. He never gave her any time with waiting. Soon Melanctha always had Jem with her. Melanctha did not want anything better. Now in Jem Richards, Melanctha found everything she had ever needed to content her.
Melanctha was now less and less with Rose Johnson. Rose did not think much of the way Melanctha now was going. Jem Richards was all right, only Melanctha never had no sense of the right kind of way she should be doing. Rose often was telling Sam now, she did not like the fast way Melanctha was going. Rose told it to Sam, and to all the girls and men, when she saw them. But Rose was nothing just then to Melanctha. Melanctha Herbert now only needed Jem Richards to be with her.
And things were always getting stronger between Jem Richards and Melanctha Herbert. Jem Richards began to talk now as if he wanted to get married to her. Jem was all was deep in his love now for her. And as for Melanctha, Jem was all the world now to her. And so Jem gave her a ring, like white folks, to show he was engaged to her, and would by and by be married to her. And Melanctha was filled full with joy to have Jem so good to her.
Melanctha always loved to go with Jem to the races. Jem had been lucky lately with his betting, and he had a swell turn-out to drive in, and Melanctha looked very handsome there beside him.
Melanctha was very proud to have Jem Richards want her. Melanctha loved it the way Jem knew how to do it. Melanctha loved Jem and loved that he should want her. She loved it too, that he wanted to be married to her. Jem Richards was a straight decent man, whom other men always looked up to and trusted. Melanctha needed badly a man to content her.
Melancthas joy made her foolish. Melanctha told everybody about how Jem Richards, that swell man who owned all those fine horses and was so game, nothing ever scared him, was engaged to be married to her, and that was the ring he gave her.
Melanctha let out her joy very often to Rose Johnson. Melanctha had begun again now to go there.
Melancthas love for Jem made her foolish. Melanctha had to have some one always now to talk to and so she went often to Rose Johnson.
Melanctha put all herself into Jem Richards. She was mad and foolish in the joy she had there.
Rose never liked the way Melanctha did it. No Sam I dont say never Melanctha aint engaged to Jem Richards the way she always says it, and Jem he is all right for that kind of a man he is, though he do think himself so smart and like he owns the earth and everything he can get with it, and he sure gave Melanctha a ring like he really meant he should be married right soon with it, only Sam, I dont ever like it the way Melanctha is going. When she is engaged to him Sam, she aint not right to take on so excited. That aint no decent kind of a way a girl ever should be acting. There aint no kind of a man going stand that, not like I knows men Sam, and I sure does know them. I knows them white and I knows them colored, for I was raised by white folks, and they dont none of them like a girl to act so. Thats all right to be so when you is just only loving, but it aint no ways right to be acting so when you is engaged to him, and when he says, all right he get really regularly married to you. You see Sam I am right like I am always and I knows it. Jem Richards, he aint going to the last to get real married, not if I knows it right, the way Melanctha now is acting to him. Rings or anything aint nothing to them, and they dont never do no good for them, when a girl acts foolish like Melanctha always now is acting. I certainly will be right sorry Sam, if Melanctha has real bad trouble come now to her, but I certainly dont no ways like it Sam the kind of way Melanctha is acting to him. I dont never say nothing to her Sam. I just listens to what she is saying always, and I thinks it out like I am telling to you Sam but I dont never say nothing no more now to Melanctha. Melanctha didnt say nothing to me about that Jem Richards till she was all like finished with him, and I never did like it Sam, much, the way she was acting, not coming here never when she first ran with those men and met him. And I didnt never say nothing to her, Sam, about it, and it aint nothing ever to me, only I dont never no more want to say nothing to her, so I just listens to what she got to tell like she wants it. No Sam, I dont never want to say nothing to her. Melanctha just got to go her own way, not as I want to see her have bad trouble ever come hard to her, only it aint in me never Sam, after Melanctha did so, ever to say nothing more to her how she should be acting. You just see Sam like I tell you, what way Jem Richards will act to her, you see Sam I just am right like I always am when I knows it.
Melanctha Herbert never thought she could ever again be in trouble. Melancthas joy had made her foolish.
And now Jem Richards had some bad trouble with his betting. Melanctha sometimes felt now when she was with him that there was something wrong inside him. Melanctha knew he had had trouble with his betting but Melanctha never felt that that could make any difference to them.
Melanctha once had told Jem, sure he knew she always would love to be with him, if he was in jail or only just a beggar. Now Melanctha said to him, Sure you know Jem that it dont never make any kind of difference youre having any kind of trouble, you just try me Jem and be game, dont look so worried to me. Jem sure I know you love me like I love you always, and its all I ever could be wanting Jem to me, just your wanting me always to be with you. I get married Jem to you soon ever as you can want me, if you once say it Jem to me. It aint nothing to me ever, anything like having any money Jem, why you look so worried to me.
Melanctha Herberts love had surely made her mad and foolish. She thrust it always deep into Jem Richards and now that he had trouble with his betting, Jem had no way that he ever wanted to be made to feel it. Jem Richards never could want to marry any girl while he had trouble. That was no way a man like him should do it. Melancthas love had made her mad and foolish, she should be silent now and let him do it. Jem Richards was not a kind of man time when a man like him needed to have it.
Melanctha needed so badly to have it, this love which she had always wanted, she did not know what she should do to save it. Melanctha saw now, Jem Richards always had something wrong inside him. Melanctha soon dared not ask him. Jem was busy now, he had to sell things and see men to raise money. Jem could not meet Melanctha now so often.
It was lucky for Melanctha Herbert that Rose Johnson was coming now to have her baby. It had always been understood between them, Rose should come and stay then in the house where Melanctha lived with an old colored woman, so that Rose could have the Doctor from the hospital near by to help her, and Melanctha there to take care of her the way Melanctha always used to do it.
Melanctha was very good now to Rose Johnson. Melanctha did everything that any woman could, she tended Rose, and she was patient, submissive, soothing and untiring, while the sullen, childish, cowardly, black Rosie grumbled, and fussed, and howled, and made herself to be an abomination and like a simple beast.
All this time Melanctha was always being every now and then with Jem Richards. Melanctha was beginning to be stronger with Jem Richards. Melanctha was never so strong and sweet and in her nature as when she was deep in trouble, when she was fighting so with all she had, she could not do any foolish thing with her nature.
Always now Melanctha Herbert came back again to be nearer to Rose Johnson. Always now Melanctha would tell all about her troubles to Rose Johnson. Rose had begun now a little again to advise her.
Melanctha always told Rose now about the talks she had with Jem Richards, talks where they neither of them liked very well what the other one was saying. Melanctha did not know what it was Jem Richards wanted. All Melanctha knew was, he did not like it when she wanted to be good friends and get really married, and then when Melanctha would say, all right, I never wear your ring no more Jem, we aint not any more to meet ever like we ever like we ever going to get really regular married, then Jem did not like it either. What was it Jem Richards really wanted?
Melanctha stopped wearing Jems ring on her finger. Poor Melanctha, she wore it on a string she tied around her neck so that she could always feel it, but Melanctha was strong now with Jem Richards, and he never saw it. And sometimes Jem seemed to be awful sorry for it, and sometimes he seemed kind of glad of it. Melanctha never could make out really what it was Jem Richards wanted.
There was no other woman yet to Jem, that Melanctha knew, and so she always trusted that Jem would come back to her, deep in his love, the way once he had had it and had made all the world like she once had never believed anybody could really make it. But Jem Richards was more game than Melanctha Herbert. He knew how to fight to win out, better. Melanctha really had already lost it, in not keeping quiet and waiting for Jem to do it.
Jem Richards was not yet having better luck in his betting. He never before had had such a long time without some good coming to him in his betting. Sometimes Jem talked as if he wanted to go off on a trip somewhere and try some other place for luck with his betting. Jem Richards never talked as if he wanted to take Melanctha with him.
And so Melanctha sometimes was really trusting, and sometimes she was all sick inside her with her doubting. What was it Jem really wanted to do with her? He did not have any other woman, in that Melanctha could be really trusting, and when she said no to him, no she never would come near him, now he did not want to have her, then Jem would change and swear, yes sure he did want her, now and always right here near him, but he never now any more said he wanted to be married soon to her. But then Jem Richards never would marry a girl, he said that very often, when he was in this kind of trouble, and now he did not see any way he could get out of his trouble. But Melanctha ought to wear his ring, sure she knew he never had loved any kind of woman like he loved her. Melanctha would wear the ring a little while, and then they would have some more trouble, and then she would say to him, no she certainly never would any more wear anything he gave her, and then she would wear it on the string so nobody could see it but she could always feel it on her.
Poor Melanctha, surely her love had made her mad and foolish.
And now Melanctha needed always more and more to be with Rose Johnson, and Rose had commenced again to advise her, but Rose could not help her. There was no way now that anybody could advise her. The time when Melanctha could have changed it with Jem Richards was now all past for her. Rose knew it, and Melanctha too, she knew it, and it almost killed her to let herself believe it.
The only comfort Melanctha ever had now was waiting on Rose till she was so tired she could hardly stand it. Always Melanctha did everything Rose ever wanted. Sam Johnson began now to be very gentle and a little tender to Melanctha. She was so good to Rose and Sam was so glad to have her there to help Rose and to do things and to be a comfort to her.
Rose had a hard time to bring her baby to its birth and Melanctha did everything that any woman could.
The baby though it was healthy after it was born did not live long. Rose Johnson was careless and negligent and selfish and when Melanctha had to leave for a few days the baby died. Rose Johnson had liked her baby well enough and perhaps she just forgot it for a while, anyway the child was dead and Rose and Sam were very sorry, but then these things came so often in the negro world in Bridgepoint that they neither of them thought about it very long. When Rose had become strong again she went back to her house with Sam. And Sam Johnson was always now very gentle and kind and good to Melanctha who had been so good to Rose in her bad trouble.
Melanctha Herberts troubles with Jem Richards were never getting any better. Jem always now had less and less time to be with her. When Jem was with Melanctha now he was good enough to her. Jem Richards was worried with his betting. Never since Jem had first begun to make a living had he ever had so much trouble for such a long time together with his betting. Jem Richards was good enough now to Melanctha but he had not much strength to give her. Melanctha could never any more now make him quarrel with her. Melanctha never now could complain of his treatment of her, for surely, he said it always by his actions to her, surely she must know how a man was when he had trouble on his mind with trying to make things go a little better.
Sometimes Jem and Melanctha had long talks when they neither of them liked very well what the other one was saying, but mostly now Melanctha could not make Jem Richards quarrel with her, and more and more, Melanctha could not find any way to make it right to blame him for the trouble she now always had inside her. Jem was good to her, and she knew, for he told her, that he had trouble all the time now with his betting. Melanctha knew very well that for her it was all wrong inside Jem Richards, but Melanctha had now no way that she could really reach him.
Things between Melanctha and Jem Richards were now never getting any better. Melanctha now more and more needed to be with Rose Johnson. Rose still liked to have Melanctha come to her house and do things for her, and Rose liked to grumble to her and to scold her and to tell Melanctha what was the way Melanctha always should be doing so she could make things come out better and not always be so much in trouble. Sam Johnson in these days was always very good and gentle to Melanctha. Sam was now beginning to be very sorry for her.
Jem Richards never made things any better for Melanctha. Often Jem would talk so as to make Melanctha almost certain that he never any more wanted to have her. Then Melanctha would get very blue, and she would say to Rose, sure she would kill herself, for that certainly now was the best way she could do.
Rose Johnson never saw it the least bit that way. I dont see Melanctha why you should talk like you would kill yourself just because youre blue. Id never kill myself Melanctha cause I was blue. Id maybe kill somebody else but Id never kill myself. If I ever killed myself, Melanctha itd be by accident and if I ever killed myself by accident, Melanctha, Id be awful sorry. And that certainly is the way you should feel it Melanctha, now you hear me, not just talking foolish like you always do. It certainly is only your way just always being foolish makes you all that trouble to come to you always now, Melanctha, and I certainly right well knows that. You certainly never can learn no way Melanctha ever with all I certainly been telling to you, ever since I know you good, that it aint never no way like you do always is the right way you be acting ever and talking, the way I certainly always have seen you do so Melanctha always. I certainly am right Melanctha about them ways you have to do it, and I knows it; but you certainly never can noways learn to act right Melanctha, I certainly do know that, I certainly do my best Melanctha to help you with it only you certainly never do act right Melanctha, not to nobody ever, I can see it. You never act right by me Melanctha no more than by everybody. I never say nothing to you Melanctha when you do so, for I certainly never do like it when I just got to say it to you, but you just certainly done with that Jem Richards you always say wanted real bad to be married to you, just like I always said to Sam you certainly was going to do it. And I certainly am real kind of sorry like for you Melanctha, but you certainly had ought to have come to see me to talk to you, when you first was engaged to him so I could show you, and now you got all this trouble come to you Melanctha like I certainly know you always catch it. It certainly aint never Melanctha I aint real sorry to see trouble come so hard to you, but I certainly can see Melanctha it all is always just the way you always be having it in you not never to do right. And now you always talk like you just kill yourself because you are so blue, that certainly never is Melanctha, no kind of a way for any decent kind of a girl to do.
Rose had begun to be strong now to scold Melanctha and she was impatient very often with her, but Rose could now never any more be a help to her. Melanctha Herbert never could know now what it was right she should do. Melanctha always wanted to have Jem Richards with her and now he never seemed to want her, and what could Melanctha do. Surely she was right now when she said she would just kill herself, for that was the only way now she could do.
Sam Johnson always, more and more, was good and gentle to Melanctha. Poor Melanctha, she was so good and sweet to do anything anybody ever wanted, and Melanctha always liked it if she could have peace and quiet, and always she could only find new ways to be in trouble. Sam often said this now to Rose about Melanctha.
I certainly dont never want Sam to say bad things about Melanctha, for she certainly always do have most awful kind of trouble come hard to her, but I never can say I like it real right Sam the way Melanctha always has to do it. Its now just the same with her like it is always she has got to do it, now the way she is with that Jem Richards. He certainly now dont never want to have her but Melanctha she aint got no right kind of spirit. No Sam I dont never like the way any more Melanctha is acting to him, and then Sam, she aint never real right honest, the way she always should do it. She certainly just dont kind of never Sam tell right what way she is doing with it. I dont never like to say nothing Sam no more to her about the way she always has to be acting. She always say, yes all right Rose, I do the way you say it, and then Sam she dont never noways do it. She certainly is right sweet and good, Sam, is Melanctha, nobody ever can hear me say she aint always ready to do things for everybody any way she ever can see to do it, only Sam some ways she never does act real right ever, and some ways, Sam, she aint ever real honest with it. And Sam sometimes I hear awful kind of things she been doing, some girls know about her how she does it, and sometimes they tell me what kind of ways she has to do it, and Sam it certainly do seem to me like more and more I certainly am awful afraid Melanctha never will come to any good. And then Sam, sometimes, you hear it, she always talk like she kill herself all the time she is so blue, and Sam that certainly never is no kind of way any decent girl ever had ought to do. You see Sam, how I am right like I always is when I knows it. You just be careful, Sam, now you hear me, you be careful Sam sure, I tell you, Melanctha more and more I see her I certainly do feel Melanctha no way is really honest. You be careful, Sam now, like I tell you, for I knows it, now you hear to me, Sam, what I tell you, for I certainly always is right, Sam, when I knows it.
At first Sam tried a little to defend Melanctha, and Sam always was good and gentle to her, and Sam liked the ways Melanctha had to be quiet to him, and to always listen as if she was learning, when she was there and heard him talking, and then Sam liked the sweet way she always did everything so nicely for him; but Sam never liked to fight with anybody ever, and surely Rose knew best about Melanctha and anyway Sam never did really care much about Melanctha. Her mystery never had had any interest for him. Sam liked it that she was sweet to him and that she always did everything Rose ever wanted that she should be doing. but Melanctha never could be important to him. All Sam ever wanted was to have a little house and to live regular and to work hard and to come home to his dinner, when he was tired with his working and by and by he wanted to have some children all his own to be good to, and so Sam was real sorry for Melanctha, she was so good and so sweet always to them, and Jem Richards was a bad man to behave so to her, but that was always the way a girl got it when she liked that kind of a fast fellow. Anyhow Melanctha was Roses friend, and Sam never cared to have anything to do with the kind of trouble always came to women, when they wanted to have men, who never could know how to behave good and steady to their women.
And so Sam never said much to Rose about Melanctha. Sam was always very gentle to her, but now he began less and less to see her. Soon Melanctha never came any more to the house to see Rose and Sam never asked Rose anything about her.
Melanctha Herbert was beginning now to come less and less to the house to be with Rose Johnson. This was because Rose seemed always less and less now to want her, and Rose would not let Melanctha now do things for her. Melanctha was always humble to her and Melanctha always wanted in every way she could to do things for her. Rose said no, she guessed she do that herself like she likes to have it better. Melanctha is real good to stay so long to help her, but Rose guessed perhaps Melanctha better go home now, Rose dont need nobody to help her now, she is feeling real strong, not like just after she had all that trouble with the baby, and then Sam, when he comes home for his dinner he likes it when Rose is all alone there just to give him his dinner. Sam always is so tired now, like he always is in the summer, so many people always on the steamer, and they make so much work so Sam is real tired now, and he just to eat his dinner and never have people in the house to be a trouble to him.
Each day Rose treated Melanctha more and more as if she never wanted Melanctha any more to come there to the house to see her. Melanctha dared not ask Rose why she acted in this way to her. Melanctha badly needed to have Rose always there to save her. Melanctha wanted badly to cling to her and Rose had always been so solid for her. Melanctha did not dare to ask Rose if she now no longer wanted her to come and see her.
Melanctha now never any more had Sam to be gentle to her. Rose always sent Melanctha away from her before it was time for Sam to come home to her. One day Melanctha had stayed a little longer, for Rose that day had been good to let Melanctha begin to do things for her. Melanctha then left her and Melanctha met Sam Johnson who stopped a minute to speak kindly to her.
The next day Rose Johnson would not let Melanctha come in to her. Rose stood on the steps, and there she told Melanctha what she thought now of her.
I guess Melanctha it certainly aint no ways right for you to come here no more just to see me. I certainly dont Melanctha no ways like to be a trouble to you. I certainly think Melanctha I get along better now when I dont have nobody like you are, always here to help me, and Sam he do so good now with his working, he pay a little girl something to come every day to help me. I certainly do think Melanctha I dont never want you no more to come here just to see me. Why Rose, what I ever done to you, I certainly dont think you is right Rose to be so bad now to me. I certainly dont no ways Melanctha Herbert think you got any right ever to be complaining the way I been acting to you. I certainly never do think Melanctha Herbert, you hear to me, nobody ever been more patient to you than I always been to like you, only Melanctha, I hear more things now so awful bad about you, everybody always is telling to me what kind of a way you always have been doing so much, and me always so good to you, and you never no ways, knowing how to be honest to me. No Melanctha it aint ever in me, not to want you to have good luck come to you, and I like it real well Melanctha when you some time learn how to act the way it is decent and right for a girl to be doing, but I dont no ways ever like it the kind of things everybody tell me now about you. No Melanctha, I cant never any more trust you. I certainly am real sorry to have never any more to see you, but there aint no other way, I ever can be acting to you. Thats all I ever got any more to say to you now Melanctha. But Rose, deed; I certainly dont know, no more than the dead, nothing I ever done to make you act so to me. Anybody say anything bad about me Rose, to you, they just a pack of liars to you, they certainly is Rose, I tell you true. I certainly never done nothing I ever been ashamed to tell you. Why you act so bad to me Rose. Sam he certainly dont think ever like you do, and Rose I always do everything I can, you ever want me to do for you. It aint never no use standing there talking, Melanctha Herbert. I just can tell it to you, and Sam, he dont know nothing about women ever the way they can be acting. I certainly am very sorry Melanctha, to have to act so now to you, but I certainly cant do no other way with you, when you do things always so bad, and everybody is talking so about you. It aint no use to you to stand there and say it different to me Melanctha. I certainly am always right Melanctha Herbert, the way I certainly always have been when I knows it, to you. No Melanctha, it just is, you never can have no kind of a way to act right, the way a decent girl has to do, and I done my best always to be telling it to you Melanctha Herbert, but it dont never do no good to tell nobody how to act right; they certainly never can learn when they aint got no sense right to know it, and you never have no sense right Melanctha to be honest, and I aint never wishing no harm to you ever Melanctha Herbert, only I dont never want any more to see you come here. I just say to you now, like I always been saying to you, you dont know never the right way, any kind of decent girl has to be acting, and so Melanctha Herbert, me and Sam, we dont never any more want you to be setting your foot in my house here Melanctha Herbert, I just tell you. And so you just go along now, Melanctha Herbert, you hear me, and I dont never wish no harm to come to you.
Rose Johnson went into her house and closed the door behind her. Melanctha stood like one dazed, she did not know how to bear this blow that almost killed her. Slowly then Melanctha went away without even turning to look behind her.
Melanctha Herbert was all sore and bruised inside her. Melanctha had needed Rose always to believe her, Melanctha needed Rose always to let her cling to her, Melanctha wanted badly to have somebody who could make her always feel a little safe inside her, and now Rose had sent her from her. Melanctha wanted Rose more than she had ever wanted all the others. Rose always was so simple, solid, decent, for her. And now Rose had cast her from her. Melanctha was lost, and all the world went whirling in a mad weary dance around her.
Melanctha Herbert never had any strength alone ever to feel safe inside her. And now Rose Johnson had cast her from her, and Melanctha could never any more be near her. Melanctha Herbert knew now, way inside her, that she was lost, and nothing any more could ever help her.
Melanctha went that night to meet Jem Richards who had promised to be at the old place to meet her. Jem Richards was absent in his manner to her. By and by he began to talk to her, about the trip he was going to take soon, to see if he could get some luck back in his betting. Melanctha trembled, was Jem too now going to leave her. Jem Richards talked some more then to her, about the bad luck he always had now, and how he needed to go away to see if he could make it come out any better.
Then Jem stopped, and then he looked straight at Melanctha.
Tell me Melanctha right and true, you dont care really nothing more about me now Melanctha, he said to her.
Why you ask me that, Jem Richards, said Melanctha.
Why I ask you that Melanctha, God Almighty, because I just dont give a damn now for you any more Melanctha. That the reason I was asking.
Melanctha never could have for this an answer. Jem Richards waited and then he went away and left her.
Melanctha Herbert never again saw Jem Richards. Melanctha never again saw Rose Johnson, and it was hard to Melanctha never any more to see her. Rose Johnson had worked in to be the deepest of all Melancthas emotions.
No, I dont never see Melanctha Herbert no more now, Rose would say to anybody who asked her about Melanctha. No, Melanctha she never comes here no more now, after we had all that trouble with her acting so bad with them kind of men she liked so much to be with. She dont never come to no good Melanctha Herbert dont, and me and Sam dont want no more to see her. She didnt do right ever the way I told her. Melanctha just wouldnt, and I always said it to her, if she dont be more kind of careful, the way she always had to be acting, I never did want no more she should come here in my house no more to see me. I aint no ways ever against any girl having any kind of a way, to have a good time like she wants it, but not that kind of a way Melanctha always had to do it. I expect some day Melanctha kill herself, when she act so bad like she do always, and then she get so awful blue. Melanctha always says thats the only way she ever can think it a easy way for her to do. No, I always am real sorry for Melanctha, she never was no just common kind of nigger, but she dont never know not with all the time I always was telling it to her, no she never no way could learn, what was the right way she should do. I certainly dont never want no kind of harm to come bad to Melanctha, but I certainly do think she will most kill herself some time, the way she always say it would be easy way for her to do. I never see nobody ever could be so awful blue.
But Melanctha Herbert never really killed herself because she was so blue, though often she thought this would be really the best way for her to do. Melanctha never killed herself, she only got a bad fever and went into the hospital where they took good care of her and cured her.
When Melanctha was well again, she took a place and began to work and to live regular. Then Melanctha got very sick again, she began to cough and sweat and be so weak she could not stand to do her work.
Melanctha went back to the hospital, and there the Doctor told her she had the consumption, and before long she would surely die. They sent her where she would be taken care of, a home for poor consumptives, and there Melanctha stayed until she died.

|Join the conversation. #DellCAP
The inaugural Customer Advisory Panel (CAP) Days kicked off in June 2010 in Round Rock, Texas at the Dell headquarters. About 30 customers active in social media from across the United States attended the events over two days. Conversations and interactive panels took place in front of the eager ears of many Dell executives and employees across various groups of the business, to hear firsthand what the attendees think of the brand overall, the products, the website and the customer service.
The agendas for the events are driven via comments from conversations with and a pre-event survey of participants. The Dell teams globally learn a lot with each event and are motivated to implement the ideas heard during the event and improve internal processes. Attendees and the Dell team agree after each event that the success of CAP Days is about what happens after the customers leave. Dell is committed to delivering on the promise to execute ideas and key changes wherever possible, and to stay accountable for taking the feedback seriously.
Read some of the attendees' reactions in their own words on their blogs.

Samuel Young
Hometown: Danbury, Conn.
Major: Biology (Pre-Professional)
WCSU Degree: Bachelor of Arts in Biology
Internships: Shadowed an orthopedic surgeon, primary care physician and an optometrist
Activities: WCSU Biology Club, Pee Wee Football coach
Honors and Awards: Dean's List throughout two years at WCSU, 3.89 GPA, magna cum laude honors, Biology Department Award recipient
Danbury resident Samuel Young started his college career at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo., before transferring to WestConn and finding his true calling. Along the way, he worked as an Air Force dental assistant and as assistant director of the Summer Playground Program for Danbury Schools as he prepared to focus on his dream.
"Throughout my life I had always been confused as to what I desired in a career," Young says. "After injuring my knee and requiring multiple surgeries, I became fascinated with patient care, particularly in the field of medicine. Pursuing a bachelor's degree in biology is an integral part of attaining my goals."
And while he could have studied biology anywhere, he came to WestConn "to be close to home, but primarily because of the outstanding facilities located in the recently constructed Science Building."
Young credits several of his professors as leaving a lasting impression. "Professor of Chemistry Dr. Paul Hines, Associate Professor of Biological and Environmental Sciences Dr. Mitch Wagener and Professor of Biological and Environmental Sciences Dr. Frank Dye all became mentors in my life, as well as good friends I can count on in the future," Young says.
Asked what he will remember most about his WestConn experience, Young says, "The many late nights studying at the Science Building, the camaraderie experienced among classmates, and a great faculty that bent backwards to help its students excel!"
After graduation, Young's long-term goals include attending medical school in the fall of 2009. "I aspire to become a doctor in the field of sports medicine with a concentration in rehabilitation. Currently I am pursuing an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) state certification."
Young's advice to new students entering WCSU is: "Have fun but work hard. Never sell yourself short. Anything you wish for in life is within reach ... believe in yourself and take it!"

Car News: 2014 Detroit Auto Show
2015 GMC Canyon Coming to Detroit Auto Show
- 2015 GMC Canyon will be revealed in Detroit
- Pickup to offer similar styling and equipment as Chevrolet Colorado
- May boast more upscale touches, in keeping with GMC brand
GMC will officially unveil its all-new 2015 Canyon midsize pickup at the upcoming Detroit Auto Show. The new truck will be similar to the upcoming Chevrolet Colorado, which debuted only two months ago at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
On the outside, the truck will likely be a more muscular, grown-up version of the original GMC Canyon, which was sold from 2004 to 2012. While GMC hasn't released any official pictures, we expect that the pickup's styling will be similar to the Colorado shown in Los Angeles. That means larger fenders and a sleeker grille than those of the outgoing Colorado and Canyon, as well as a more modern overall look.
That same modern look is expected to carry over to the Canyon's interior. The latest Colorado boasts a far more stylish cabin than the outgoing model, headlined by a large, center-mounted touchscreen -- a first for GM's midsize pickup trucks.
Under the hood, the Canyon will likely offer the same powerplants found in the Colorado. That means a standard 193-horsepower 2.5-liter 4-cylinder, with a 302-hp 3.6-liter V6 on the options list. The Colorado will offer a 2.8-liter turbodiesel 4-cylinder soon after it debuts, though GMC has not yet announced if that engine will be available in the Canyon.
If the Canyon sounds similar to the Colorado, that's because it is. After all, the trucks will be built in the same Louisiana factory, they'll share most mechanical components and they'll look largely the same. So what's the difference?
For one, the Canyon will probably boast a few specialized exterior touches such as unique wheels, a different grille and chrome accents. But most importantly, we think the Canyon will offer higher-end features and appointments; the GMC is often positioned as an upscale alternative to Chevrolet, thanks to models such as the GMC Sierra Denali pickup and the Yukon Denali SUV.
We'll know more about the Canyon when the pickup is unveiled in Detroit.
What it means to you: While it may be similar to the Chevrolet Colorado, the 2015 GMC Canyon will likely take on a persona of its own.

Gonna watch this one, good job CR xD
Hoping the next announcement for today is also more good news
What even
Come on!! Get Kore wa Zombie Desu ka: Of the Dead!!
Great. I liked the manga
No longer active. Reach me on Skype or Twitter!

Chances are that you'll have to go to Funimation's web site or Niconico.com for that one(if you live in the U.S).
Wondering if Funimation will be earlier in usual in announcing their simulcasts either tomorrow at Sakura-con or Saturday at Anime Boston.
I hope Kore wa Zombie Desu ka Season 2 is put on the list soon.
thanks this is the only one i like from the others new animes so far
Prefiero dos guerras perdidas a no haber luchado por intentar ganarlas.
Let Friday be known as the day CR redeemed themselves.
Today, Tomorrow, Forever
Surprised that CR is getting both seasons of Phi Brain. I have a feeling this won't be the only sublicense from Sentai(hence the North America only).
This doesn't look good for CR.
CR, redeem thyself on Friday/tomorrow.
SCHOOL DAYS HQ ENGLISH (SUB) VERSION - 77% of the Game Completed
Don't complain about Phi Brain for North America audiences only. The world is full of fansubs making their job to bring you anime when the rotten world of anime licenses don't bring legal anime to your region. Also, it's not CR fault, they make a great effort to get as many regions as they can.
OMG, my anime membership is expired
No love for Phi Brain season 2?
Phi Brain is a surprise. I'm a fan of that show so I'm happy to see it here
Kore wa Zombie? of the Dead
Medeka Box?
Mysterious Girlfriend X?
we are running out of space for the shows I most want to see this season
avoiding doing any work today
DeathKing97 wrote: No love for Phi Brain season 2?
I'm both surprised and pretty stoked to see this announcement. I never caught up with the first one, but I was hoping it would come around to either Crunchyroll or Crackle, since I have both on my Roku and my Nook. But Crunchyroll is obviously better because, 1, Crackle has ads and 2, 1/3 of the time Crackle fails to work properly.
I was unhappy that Crunchyroll might have missed out on Zetman (though, obviously, sublicensing announcements have just started rolling out today), and then I heard that the anime may not be as good as the manga is supposed to be, so meh. But I wasn't even thinking about Crunchyroll getting Phi Brain 1 and 2 at this point, so I'm pretty stoked.

In Winter2012, only one Sentai sublicense was restricted to North America.
However, Fall2011 or earlier they all were, and since Phi Brain was a Fall2011 series, it makes sense that would be reflected in the rights to the original and the sequel.
I was surprised that Crunchyroll got Phi Brain at all, but its no surprise that Crunchyroll is getting both seasons ~ with the acquisition of the second series, Sentai has announced that there will be a home video release later this year, so they want to increase its visibility.
I'm still looking to see two or more Sentai Sublicenses either to North and South America, or to North America, Northern Europe, Oceania and South Africa. Or both of those combined. I won't expect Sentai to push another step beyond that until after Crunchyroll has had some results on their TV Tokyo-influenced primary streaming licenses and can, hopefully, afford to juice up the offer they can make for Worldwide Outside Asia and Worldwide to Premium Members Outside Japan.
8 years as a premium member, but no more
I assume the first season of Phil's Brain will be released all at once so that users could catch up on season one before watching the second season?
I will say I'm surprised that Sunday is getting so much love, there is already three new series premiering this season on this day when last season it was only one and in Fall 2011 none.

I don't know why people keep on mentioning Kore Wa Zombie. Crunchyroll has lost the rights to that entire franchise to Funanimation. The first season has been removed from Crunchyroll, so there is no chance it will get the second series/season.
I don't know anything at all about the other series you mentioned.

The Public Eye: Polarization Politics: So Far, So Good
It's a familiar joke: A man falls off a forty-story building; as he passes the twentieth floor, a friend yells out the window, "How's it going?" and the faller screams, "So far, so good!" Now it's become the Republican campaign theme.
The United States is in freefall. The economy is stagnant, shedding good jobs. We've lost our edge in the global marketplace. The middle class is getting squeezed out, as the rich get richer and the poor poorer. We're stuck in an endless war in Afghanistan. Horrific problems, such as global climate change, are ignored. Millions of voters believe the good ship America has lost her way.
Meanwhile Republicans play blame games. Stoke the fires of polarization. Chant: "So far, so good. Let's shut down the government."
As the US heads into a critical midterm election, the US electorate is more polarized than at any time since the Vietnam War. And Republicans view this as an accomplishment rather than as a problem.
Attitudes about healthcare reform typify our political division. The latest Kaiser Foundation Tracking Poll indicates that while support for the bill is increasing – 49 percent of respondents now have a favorable opinion of it versus 40 percent unfavorable – the opposition has become more entrenched. 26 per cent feel the bill should be repealed "as soon as possible." (A Fox News poll shows that 44 percent favor repealing.)
There's a hardcore conservative minority that opposes everything the Obama Administration proposes: economic stimulus, action to spur employment, tax increases for billionaires, campaign finance reform, repeal of "don't ask, don't tell," cap and trade legislation to limit emissions, and on and on. They don't have any substantive counter proposals; they're united by hatred of Barack Obama.
Recently, the GOP released their Pledge to America. If these were not such serious times, the document might be dismissed as political humor, a parody of 1994's Republican Contract with America. Pledge is best understood as a baroque overture to the Tea Party movement that has its own Contract from America.
These conservative manifestos share three components: First, the belief that power has to be returned to the states, that much of what goes on in Washington is unconstitutional. (Conservatives believe that, because of the tenth amendment to the Constitution, many Federal laws are unconstitutional because they usurp power from states – the so-called Tenther movement.) The second component is the desire to reign in government spending and cut taxes – although there are few serious proposals on how to do this other than defunding health care. And finally, conservatives propose to solve the energy crisis by removing all barriers to exploration of domestic reserves and operation of US power plants – regardless of the environmental consequences or the fact that this won't solve the problem.
Neither the Pledge to America nor the Contract from America consider the United States' most pressing problems, how to: guarantee good jobs for working Americans, end the war in Afghanistan, ameliorate global climate change, and reduce the role of moneyed interests in American politics. These are "So far, so good" plans that ignore America's real problems and instead appeal to nativism.
Given that the conservative manifestos are not solutions oriented – they're rants – why are polarization politics working? Why does the enthusiasm gap favor conservatives?
An obvious answer is that it's easier to be against something rather than for it, particularly in the middle of a depression. Rank-and-file conservatives who were outraged by the election of Barack Obama have seized upon difficult economic times as an excuse to rail against all things Democratic.
But there are two other culprits. Every problem is someone's opportunity. And America's problems have presented conservative media with a terrific opportunity to expand their base. As Barack Obama's numbers have fallen, Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh's have risen.
But let's not forget the free-market capitalists, the power elite who were the real base of the George W. Bush era. Conservative powerbrokers like the Koch brothers have seized on inchoate populist anger, molded it into the Tea Party movement, and harnessed it for their avaricious purposes.
There are unusually high stakes in the November 2nd midterm election. It's about more than which Party will control the Senate and the House of Representatives, which Party will be seen as having momentum going into the 2012 Presidential election.
Conservatives want to shut down the Federal Government. Republican Senator Jim DeMint brags that his objective is paralyze the Senate in "complete gridlock."
Their plan seems to be working. The United States is in freefall and the radical Republican response is, "So far, so good. We want the government to crash."

Have you noticed – on this website's home page, "Featured Bed & Breakfasts" shows 2 ever-changing B&Bs. The 2 inns caught my eye – how different – how unique – each is!
River's Bend Inn (Mayville – near the Horicon Marsh) is a gracious English Country Manor. The equally gracious innkeeper, Jayne, has quite a history too – as a high fashion model in New York and as a regular date of John F. Kennedy. Jayne likely was told she should write a book, so she did, and it is a fun summer read: The River's Bend.
The second featured inn, Thunder Valley Inn Resort, is one mile from WI Dells, yet a 'world' away – a Scandinavian world, that is! Pet friendly Wee Hus is a cozy cottage snuggled next to the Farm House. Most rooms in the Swedish House and Farm House have an extra bed or two for children … schedule a visit to the inn's dairy farm or a hands-on bread baking session.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
BiologyBirgus latro is almost entirely terrestrial and has adapted so well to living on land that it actually drowns in water (2). That said, it does still breathe through modified gills. The gills are surrounded by spongy tissues which need to be kept moist. The coconut crab does this by dipping its legs into water and passing them over the gills. The crab does require some contact with the sea as it often drinks the water to maintain its salt balance, and females need to return to sea to release eggs (2). By day the coconut crab inhabits burrows where it is protected from desiccation and intruders, and by night it goes in search of food. As its name suggests this crab feeds on coconuts, and is actually able to climb coconut palms, where it is thought to pinch off coconuts with its powerful claws when coconuts are not already available on the ground. If the coconut does not break open on its fall, the crab husks the coconuts by pulling back the husk from the end that was formerly attached to the palm, and evidence indicates that they then pierce the "soft eye" with a pointed walking leg, before gradually enlarging the hole by breaking off sections of the shell until they can reach in to scoop out the flesh (4) (5). This crab feeds on more than just coconuts however, and will scavenge for anything organic from fruit to leaves (6). It also feeds on the moulted exoskeletons of other crustaceans, which are thought to provide calcium for its own carapace growth (2). Courtship in most hermit crabs is a prolonged experience, but between coconut crabs it is quick, simple and infrequent. Mating occurs on land and the female carries the fertilised eggs beneath her abdomen, held in place by three specialised appendages. When the eggs are ready for hatching, the female walks down to the edge of the sea during high tide and releases the larvae (2). The larvae are pelagic and remain floating in the sea for up to 28 days while they develop. This is followed by an amphibious stage of 21 to 28 days when the young crabs occupy gastropod shells and are able to migrate on to the land (2). This shell-living habit serves to protect the juveniles from desiccation and predation during this early and vulnerable life stage (8). When they are two to three years old, and still less than two centimetres long, they abandon the shell, harden their skin, and transform into a miniature of the adult coconut crab, with a thoracic length of just five to ten millimetres (4) (9). Their exoskeleton is moulted regularly to allow the crab continuous growth (2). Moulting occurs in the safety of a burrow and takes around 30 days, after which the crab eats the cast-off exoskeleton. These crabs are slow growing, (8), and there is good evidence that they live to be more than 40 years, after which they don't increase in size, although they might live for many more years (4).

New Car Review Video
2013 Scion tC: 5 Reasons to Buy
The 2013 Scion tC sport coupe reminds us of when driving was simple, affordable and fun. Remember the Prelude? The Eclipse? The Celica? Automakers have largely turned away from sporty-yet-attainable coupes like these, which is part of what makes the Scion tC so special. If you're looking for a new coupe on a budget, here are five reasons why the tC is one of our favorites.
1. Makes Driving Fun
Whether it's your first car or just the latest in a long line, the tC's engaging personality will put a little bounce in your step. With its tight dimensions and athletic handling, this Scion is an appealing alternative to boring economy sedans. But you don't have to worry about the fun getting out of hand, because with its standard front-wheel-drive layout, the tC stays safe and predictable all the way to its limits and beyond. It's a great introduction to the joys of spirited driving.
2. Responsive Engine
If you need to make time, you're in for a pleasant surprise. Although it's shorter than a Corolla, the tC borrows its engine from the much larger Camry, so it packs a healthy punch. Don't be afraid to mash that gas pedal when you're merging on the highway or passing on a rural 2-lane road. The 180-horsepower tC is a lot friskier than you'd think.
3. Serious Stereo
Scion knows you don't want to pay more for premium sound, so it comes standard on the tC. You get Pioneer audio with eight speakers, a USB port that's conveniently located on the center console and great sound quality for a factory setup. There's Bluetooth, too, and you can even add a subwoofer. Plus, the audio display looks cool with its special Scion font.
4. Spacious Interior
Although the 2013 Scion tC may appear to be a cramped sport coupe on the outside, it has an amazingly roomy cabin. The standard panoramic sunroof lends an airy feel, and the back seat is remarkably accommodating for adults. The rear seat backs even recline -- that's almost unheard of in a coupe. Aside from its lack of rear doors, the tC is a legitimate substitute for small economy cars when it comes to interior space.
5. Great Deal
Since the tC comes with so much standard equipment, there's no need to add options, so you could be out the door for around $20,000. Bang for the buck was another hallmark of those old-school sporty coupes, and the tC carries this torch, as well. If you're wondering about Scion's other coupe, the rear-wheel-drive FR-S, it's a great car, but it costs thousands more and offers less space.
AutoTrader Says
What's not to like? We just wish there were more cars like the 2013 Scion tC. If $20,000 is your magic number, this Scion is a great choice.

From Lufkin Police Department
LUFKIN, TX - The Lufkin Police Department is currently investigating an attempted robbery incident at a Lufkin area bank.
At 3:31 PM this date, Lufkin Police Department (LPD) received a report of an attempted robbery that had just occurred at First Bank and Trust, located at 541 South Timberland Drive. Employees reported that a male suspect approached a teller in the lobby of the bank and displayed a note demanding currency from the teller. When the teller did not immediately comply with the demand, the suspect fled on foot from the bank.
The suspect did not display a weapon or threaten employees or customers, and the suspect was not successful in his attempt to obtain money from the bank.
The suspect fled the business prior to employees notifying LPD and responding LPD officers did not locate the suspect in the area.
Based upon descriptions provided by employees and images captured from the bank's security cameras, the suspect is a white or Hispanic male, approximately 5'07" tall wearing a dark colored t-shirt and a white- and khaki-in-color baseball cap, and he has a thin, chin strap-style beard and mustache.
The investigation into the attempted robbery continues.
Anyone with information concerning this crime or the identity of the suspect can provide information anonymously by calling Crime Stoppers of Lufkin at (936) 639-TIPS, or by submitting an anonymous tip at www.LufkinCrimeStoppers.com. Crime Stoppers Tipsters never have to give their name and Crime Stoppers may pay a cash reward of up to $2,000 for information that leads to an arrest related to these crimes.

Friends described her as sweet, outgoing and friendly, an active woman who loved to pitch in and get involved.
Today, Ellen Maher is the likely victim in the city's third murder-suicide in three months, found dead Thursday with her husband, Vincent Maher. As is typically the case after such tragedies, no one saw it coming, everyone is shocked and police are saying little.
"We knew him pretty well," said Chris McMahon, owner of Mac's Diner, the Shrewsbury Street spot Mr. Maher frequented for lunch. "Everyone liked him a lot. He was very quiet and polite. I didn't believe it was true at first."
For reasons beyond understanding, police are tight-lipped about this latest domestic killing, just as they've said practically nothing about the other two. They won't say who killed whom, even though they most certainly know. They won't even reveal what weapon was used, although I'm betting detectives found a gun at the scene.
Experts say the overwhelming number of murder-suicides involve husbands and wives, or boyfriends and girlfriends. They're almost always carried out by the male, who almost always uses a gun. Police would do well to educate the public — and potential victims — about these crimes, which will never see the inside of a courtroom.
"It definitely is a pattern that repeats itself," said Kristen Rand, legislative director of the Violence Policy Center in Washington, D.C. "It's typical that neighbors and friends often have no idea. But there's usually a history of abuse."
A petite woman with short blond hair and large blue eyes, Ellen Maher was 71, but she was a "young" senior citizen who took care of herself and worked as a substitute teacher, friends said. She had volunteered since 2005 in the nutrition program at Elder Services of Worcester and enjoyed dining out with the women she worked with. Both she and her husband were members of the Greendale YMCA.
"Ellen was a very sweet woman," said Jodie Wood, senior area manager of the program. "She was outgoing and loved to talk with people. She was happy to help out. And she loved to talk about her children and her grandchildren. She was very proud of them."
She and her husband lived at Botany Bay, a tidy condo complex off June Street. They were married for 18 years and it was the second marriage for both. Their bodies were found by Mrs. Maher's son.
The sad discovery came four weeks after police found the bodies of 47-year-old Donna Zollo and her boyfriend, 42-year-old Israel Gonzalez, in her home on Lamar Avenue. Friends of both expressed shock; Gonzalez was called a "model employee" at Worcester State University, where he worked as a campus cop, and his death was called "untimely" by the university's president.
On April 22, Glomerys Martinez and her former boyfriend, Douglas Youmans, were found fatally shot at Ms. Martinez's home at 47 Hadwen Road. Mr. Youmans was a correction officer, but police have not said that he fired the shots.
Rand said 80 percent of murder-suicides occur in a home and 95 percent are committed by men. Close to 90 percent involve a gun.
"The man is usually under tremendous stress, usually as a result of the relationship, and something triggers it," Rand said. "Men are less likely to handle stress and less likely to seek help."
Despite the seemingly impulsive nature of such tragedies, Rand said they're preventable. Men should seek help for stress. Women should take advantage of available resources to help them leave abusive relationships.
"Perhaps the most important factor is to remove guns from the house," she said. "A gun always makes it much, much easier."

Major: Business Administration
Accomplishment: Member of the team selected as winner of the Networked Society Cities contest
Graceland University alumnus Nathaniel Myer recently found himself in Miami, the site of the finals in a world-wide case study competition, impressing 60 of the world's top ICT executives as he, along with two teammates from IAE Universidad Austral in Buenos Aires, Argentina, were selected as the winners of the Networked Society Cities contest.
Myer, known as "Nate" during his time at Graceland, is a 2010 GU graduate who is no stranger to success in business competitions. He spent three years on Graceland's successful SIFE (Students In Free Enterprise) team, now known as Enactus. It is this experience, along with his mentors and instructors from Graceland, he credits for his recent success.
"By simply reapplying the Graceland Enactus presentation formula, [my team] took first place in Ericsson's worldwide MBA Case Competition," explained Nate. "The bar of professionalism in the GU Enactus program is so high that, if you choose to follow those values when you graduate, you will standout." And standout, he has.
Nate notes that with the encouragement of Justin Akers, Director of Enactus at Graceland University, and Max Pitt, Assistant Professor of Business at Graceland University and whom Nate still considers a great mentor, his experience at Graceland, beginning with the Outreach International's winter term to Nicaragua, "has turned me into a bilingual MBA student from the top school in Argentina." "Whenever you have an intimate community that surrounds you and believes in you, the blessings begin to add up. My GU roots empowered me to win Ericsson's worldwide MBA case competition. There is no doubt in my mind about that."
Nate majored in business administration with a concentration in finance and minors in Spanish and economics while at Graceland. After he completes his MBA, Nate will spend three months in an exchange MBA program in Hamburg, Germany and then expects to gain 7-10 years working experience in large multinational companies, top in their industry, before seeking employment with his family business, Universal Electric Corporation, of which he will be the fourth generation.
Nate is originally from Pittsburgh, PA and a member of the Community of Christ. He is the son of Graceland alumna, Janet (Ross) Myer and grandson of former Graceland University Board of Trustees member, Vicki Ross. He has an aunt, Julie Ross, and two uncles, Joel and Steve Ross who also graduated from Graceland.

While true, I ran openpbs and pbs pro (via a free to .edu program) and they were both terrible. I talked to other users, support forums, and related and found many with the same story. Instead of playing the apply random patch from 3rd parties game I switched batch queues. Granted this was 5+ years ago, I assume things are better now, and have heard quite a few good things about torque lately. SGE does seem the default for many small/medium clusters these days (and is the Rocks default) but does make some things strangely hard, usually with a work around though. In particular I find the lack of a straight forward way to handle requesting nodes and processors per node strange.

Here is what the article says:
"The Skin Experts Dallas has
by Skincare-news.com team
Facials are useful in keeping skin healthy, youthful and vibrant. They also can help you stay current on the condition and needs of your skin. A regular facial
Mojca is a very talented esthetician. For several years she has been giving me great facials that are customized for my needs. She keeps my skin looking radiant, healthy and very natural looking. I have come to count on her as part of my wellness routine.
-France Jacot
For over 30 years I have had the privilege of having facials from either Mari or Mojca, and they have always carefully selected which product was best for me. They both have a very special touch in their facials that comes from a caring heart and is something that can not be taught. Mojca's massage alone is worth the price of the facial plus I always leave with my skin refreshed from her expert evaluation of what I need. They are a blessing in every way to their clients !
-Sondra Carter
Lauren gives the best facial I've ever had – and I've tried them all. After her wonderful microdermabrasion and pore cleansing treatment, my skin glows and really behaves itself. I see her once a month. She is friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Products are available but not pushed. Lauren's facials are one of my favorite indulgences and the results are visible.
-Cathy Harvey
Lauren has a bubbly, youthful personality. Her energy lifts me up s I leave not only looking great but feeling great!
-Kerry McCormick
Mari introduced me to a new way to take care of my skin. The Guinot treatments are superb and make my face look radiant instantly. Mari's gentle touch and caring conversations make for a relaxing and enjoyable experience! She is passionate about her work and getting the best results for her clients.
I have had the pleasure of being a client of Mojca for over 7 years! I have tried other places and even seen a famous esthetician in Plano that treats stars in LA, but always came back to Mojca. Why? She takes the time to know her clients and never does "a routine" on me. Each visit is different and she tailors the treatment to me. At other places I got exactly what was on the facial description on the website. Nothing more or less. I feel like family and am treated like I'm a star by Mojca every visit! I have referred my friends and family to her and will continue to do so.
-Christy Hamilton […]
Mari has been caring for my skin for over 26 years. Her special technique with facials has helped my skin maintain its muscle tone. Her choice and application of GUINOT products have been the best through all the years. Her knowledge of GUINOT has given me the confidence to continuously use the products at home. Mari is a dependable, caring, and loving person. I recommend her highly.
– Betty H. Cooke
I first had a facial with Mari in 1983 when she was still at Neiman's. I am still getting facials from her today. She's the best! She has many years of experience in dealing with all types of skin and I would recommend her to anyone. People always compliment me on my skin and I tell them I owe it all to Mari!
– Sarah Johnson
I call them Mari's Magic Fingers and for over 20 years those fingers have worked magic on my skin. Mari and I have shared laughter and a few tears over the years but she remains the ultimate professional and seems to know instinctively what your skin needs to be its best. We are moving out of state and one of the things I will miss most are those magic fingers.
– Lyla McKinney
My skin has truly never looked better; Mari is anointed. I have been in the beauty industry for over 12 years and worked with facialists but have never come across someone who possess the abilities that make Mari stand above the rest. Thank you for keeping me looking young.
– Susan Michelle Reyes

Young purple, Savemoney y'all
Chitown: where the conflict get crucial, that's where we are
Where the GDs and the BDs and the PRs and the DRs
Send yo ass to the DR
Need an MD, don't tempt me
I'mma capture y"all 'for y'all free ours
Play basketball with y'all peons
Why pass it off when I breathe on?
And my brothers died in the same land that I be on
It's only me that I lean on so
This some of that real shit, nigga
When blocka blocka's leave blocks vacant won't probably notice
For that proper profit your parish's pastor be probably bogus
You'll perish faster than parrots talking on top of shoulders
Cuz you're private property once that pirate ship hits the surface
And cannons loose around us
And lives lose around us
Mothers they never knew us
Gutters is where they found us
But hereby notice that sovereign soldiers may hit the streets patrolling
And they never pay us attention, no wonder why we're tolling
I'm Ayatollah, but rolling up a half a zip
Rolling off a half a flat, and Daniels Jackson, half a fifth
Eating at the devils diner
Have a sit
Or have a seat
Or have a set
I see the future; have a peek
Half a step will leave you weak when shoes are made from problems passed
Past problems rumble, what's the jungle but a lions grass?
Probably tryna holler at a dollar off that Sassafras
Turtle time, have a glass
All these niggas beefing sounding corny with they cabbage ass
Flying paragraphs, grasp for the stars, clouds where you'll land
Tell the tale of planets past
Dinosaurs to modern man
Shooters in a caravan
Cock it back and blocka blocka leave you lifeless where you stand
But that's the, start of all that real shit. nigga
Young Purple
I'm just a, new player in a new game
And despite the fact cats calling us all the New Tang
Shark niggas still eating all off of my crews name
I guess that's just what happens when you're on top of the food chain
Call me young Purple Pippen, I hit the kitchen with six bitches that do the dishes
My interventions are intermissions to intuition
This little mission gon' be complete in a little minute
Until then just listen
To some of that real shit
And me and Chance the hottest niggas out without a deal
Niggas handing tapes out, swearing they shit be hot for real
Went from zero to sixty and I ain't even got the wheel
Feeling like an early drizzy nigga shouts to milly mill
So tell 'em we said hold up
This whole game concept ended soon as I showed up
But even if it is shots that you wanna throw up you better be sipping more than gatorade when you pour up
Sipping water, I'm off the cola
Sipping water, I'm off the cola
Youngest in the game, I must be sounding like Yoda
But these flights leave a Jedi red eyed, while you roll up
And It's been a while since I rolled up
So watch how you're twisting your fingers and what you throw up
Despite the fact your lady lover's slobbing on my totem
Everybody spit sick, your mouths smelling like throw up
No deal, niggas can't deal with me
No ice, niggas can't chill with me
And on the realest of reals it can get real iffy cuz the same wild niggas I grew up with are still with me
And that's just real shit, nigga
Trill shit, nigga
Fuck all that little shit. nigga
Savemoney y'all

3.5 stars (out of 4)
After a nearly a decade off to attend to families, side projects and their burgeoning North Carolina-based Merge label, indie-rockers Superchunk returned in 2010 with a blast of exuberance, "Majesty Shredding." It was the sound of a band thrilled to be picking up guitars and drums again, and making a joyous racket. The quartet sounded renewed
"I Hate Music" assesses where they are now – four people in their forties, at a stage when many bands have moved on, broken up or faded away. Whereas "Majesty Shredding" brimmed with affirmation, "I Hate Music" is a series of questions about the point and the price of carrying on. They stare into a "Void," as death and despair shadow the songs. In "Me & You & Jackie Mittoo," which namechecks the late keyboardist of ska avatars the Skatalites, guitarist Mac McCaughan sings, "I hate music? What is it worth?" For lives sustained and often redeemed by music, it represents a crisis of values, of meaning, that just about everyone encounters after working at something for so long.
The album's more reflective tone cuts deepest in "Low F" and "What Can We Do," and they're both among the most intensely personal songs in the band's long, distinguished history. Aging doesn't mean giving up. Instead perseverance can bring a deeper reward. "I've got wrinkles around my eyes," McCaughan sings, "I'll say I love you I won't say goodbye." But the band also blows out the burners for 75 thrilling seconds on "Staying Home," and amid the darker scenery, it feels cathartic.
In the end, the notion that "I Hate Music" is tested and reversed, until it becomes a rallying cry. Every ringing guitar chord affirms the opposite. As The Who once defiantly declared, "Rock is dead they say, long live rock."
