Detroit mayor: Takeover decision could come FridayBy COREY WILLIAMS
The Associated Press | January 09,2013DETROIT A review team scrutinizing Detroits poor finances could make a recommendation this week that will help determine whether theres a state takeover of the city, Mayor Dave Bing said Tuesday.
Republican Gov. Rick Snyder appointed the team last month after Detroit was slow to fulfill promises to the state in a deal that allowed the city to avoid having an emergency manager take over its finances.
If the team determines Detroit is in a financial emergency, Snyder could appoint an emergency manager. Bing would have 10 days to appeal.
I think the review team maybe on the 11th or so will go back to the governor with a recommendation, Bing told reporters Tuesday afternoon at City Hall. With that recommendation it will be incumbent upon the governor to make a decision as to whether or not to bring somebody else in or to let us keep going forward.
Our goal is to keep going forward. Ive said from the very beginning, we didnt want an emergency manager.
Detroit has struggled with its cash flow for more than a year and has a budget deficit of about $327 million.
After a bill signing Tuesday, Snyder told reporters in Lansing that his administration is talking with potential emergency manager candidates for Detroit in case one is needed.
That does not mean were going to have an emergency manager, he said.
The review team is the second appointed by Snyder to pore over Detroits books. A year ago, the first team stopped short of declaring a financial emergency, which would have provided the governor with the impetus to appoint a manager.
Instead, Snyder and Bing worked out a consent agreement last spring that would keep him on as mayor while providing some state support for Detroits restructuring.
The deal came without any direct state funding.
I think we can manage our way out of this, but not without support, Bing said Tuesday.
Bing has been stymied in some of his efforts by a City Council reluctant to rubber stamp some promises made to the state.
On Tuesday, he applauded the board for approving more than $7 million in outside legal and other contracts related to Detroits restructuring.
The nine-member council also voted 6-3 to approve Bings recommendation to remove Krystal Crittendon as Detroits corporation counsel. Bing said Crittendon will return to a position she held previously in the citys Law Department.
Crittendon has been a burr in Bings side for months. He accused her of stalling his offices movement toward fulfilling some requirements called for in the consent agreement.
She asked the state Court of Claims to overturn the consent agreement. A judge later dismissed the suit.
Bing asked Crittendon to resign in June. She refused.MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK Worries about the outlook for growth in China and a slide in the price of oil pushed...

Here's the full story via espn.com
The NFL fined Tennessee Titans quarterback Matt Hasselbeck $15,750 for an illegal horse collar tackle Sunday on Bears cornerback Kelvin Hayden, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
Hayden had recovered a fumble by tight endJared Cook in the fourth quarter and was brought down by Hasselbeck at the 4-yard line before he could get into the end zone. The Bears led 44-12 at the time and eventually won the game 51-20.
Also Wednesday, the Titans put starting right guard Leroy Harris on injured reserve with a partially torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee.
The Titans also announced other roster moves Wednesday, including signing defensive endJarius Wynn and guard Kyle DeVan. The 6-foot-3, 285-pound Wynn played 36 games for Green Bay and had 4½ sacks after being drafted by the Packers in 2009. The Titans are bringing back DeVan, who was signed and waived last week by Tennessee.
Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

Written on January 10, 2012 at 10:16 am , by Fitness Magazine
I'm a sucker for anything sweet (who isn't?!), so when I heard about this DIY body scrub that promises to make your skin bright and healthy, I had to try it. The verdict: It works and smells amazing! Best of all, it's made of simple ingredients you're sure to have stashed in your kitchen:
½ cup of brown sugar
3 tbsp of olive oil
1 tbsp of honey
A few drops of water
Mix ingredients in a bowl, rub all over your skin in the shower, then rinse. Store in an airtight container for future use. Pretty sweet!

Investing in the US is best
American manufacturers are fueling the recovery here as Europe quakes and China's growth gets relatively worse.
By Lindsey Bell, TheStreet
If you can keep your head when everyone else is losing theirs, you may be able to hold on to investment gains this year.
After Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou stunned the world by announcing a referendum on the new European bailout plan, stocks tumbled in Europe and the United States. That news overshadowed a U.S. October manufacturing report that suggested America is still a good place to invest.
Still, manufacturing in China and the U.S. slowed in October, which was unsettling to investors who expected to see gains in both countries. Those two reports, compounded by the eurozone's instability, set the stage for big declines in the market.
Post continues below.
Investors may be undervaluing those and other U.S. bellwether stocks, discounting them on expectations for slowing growth in the U.S. The manufacturing report from the Institute for Supply Management would seem to support this theory, but I take the opposite view. North American manufacturers are fueling the recovery in this country and quality stocks may be worth considering buying now.
Related Articles
See this video for industrial picks from Stephanie Link, director of research at TheStreet.
First out Tuesday was China's Purchasing Managers Index, which measures manufacturing. The gauge slowed to 50.4 in October from 51.2 a month earlier, the lowest level since February 2009.
The U.S. ISM Manufacturing Survey decreased to 50.8 in October from 51.6. Economists were forecasting an increase. As companies shrunk inventory to reflect demand, growth was diminished. A level above 50 represents growth in the manufacturing sector, whereas a level below 50 represents contraction. Still, an index above 42.5 generally indicates an expansion in the overall economy.
To be sure, China is still in expansion mode, growing at a faster pace than any other leading economy. The moderation in growth is partly being driven by the government's attempt to rein in inflation and bubbles. Interest rates have been increased three times and the reserve-requirement ratio was lifted to cap inflation, which now is running at a three-year high. Unlike the U.S., the Chinese government has the ability to reverse the monetary tightening that was implemented over the past few years.
The U.S. economy is slowly emerging from the Great Recession and the manufacturing sector is in the driver's seat. Growing demand from emerging markets and increased capital investment domestically should help drive increased order volume going forward. What's more, domestic companies have the advantage of a tax depreciation allowance on equipment bought before the year ends.
Yeah, go team!
USA! USA! USA! (yes ,that was sarcasm)
I believe we're still one of the great manufacturing nations, but until somebody reins in the Wallstreet whack jobs, it will be an uphill battle my friends.
All the latest financial intel suggests that the guys in ties slithering around S. Manhattan aren't taking any of the tar and feather mobs seriously...in fact, you'd think it was quite the opposite.
When former Wallstreet junkies call out their own kind and say that enough is enough, by God, I think somebody should start listening!
Former U.S. Senator and Treasury Secretary and Nicholas Brady wrote a column in the Washington Post recently stating how Wallstreet drifted away from it's roots. Financing the nation's industrial capacity and infrastructure was the order of the day in the decades following WWII. This mutually beneficial arrangement between the financial and manufacturing world propelled the USA to superpower status. When was the last time you heard that term?
Since the '80s (and possibly much earlier), the financial investment firms morphed into some kind of self-indulgent distorted profit mills. Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Lehman Bros. and Co. devised ever complex profit schemes which had nothing to do with investing, and everything to do with high stakes gambling and scamming (ponzi is not the word). Over the top leveraging ratios, shortselling constructs, derivatives...we all know these now as weapons and instruments of mass economic destruction...MOAFBs (mothers of all financial bombs). Lehman's bombmakers deservedly met their demise. Who is next?
Stop the madness, dismantle all these scams and get on with putting this country back to work and prosperity. And while you're at it, could you spare a brother a little integrity?
I agree wall street needs to be more closely monitored, but it is the government which is filled with the wack jobs. Why is Barney Frank in charge of oversight for fannie and freddie? He alone is the single greatest culprit regarding our nations economy. By allowing the fed to give people loans who never should have gotten them, and then not alerting anyone to the impending disaster as the housing bubble burst, he should be in jail with Bernie. They should share a cell.
People need to wake up to reality. Making money is something we should all strive to do. But do it yourself. Don't stand in judgement and jealousy of those who have had success in any venue, wall street or otherwise. As long as it was done without harm to others. Capitalism is how this country became the world leader it is. We have done more good and continue to do more good, worldwide, than is calculable.
I think the other comments here sum up the average American's feelings about Wall Street nicely. I'm not opposed to people working on Wall Street making a profit, but they appear to be reaping all the benefits while taking none of the risk. I unfortunately got into the equities game late; I started investing about 10-12 years ago into IRAs/401Ks and I think I'm overall about 1% ahead of the game.
Oh believe me, the slow and steady listing of the USS America is not all Wallstreet's doing. A fair share of the blame lands back on the shoulders of Congress, The Treasury Dept, SEC, FED, and _ _ _ (fill in the blanks for all your other favorite 3 letter gov't agencies).
So yeah, we need to keep up the pressure and send a message to those who either fell asleep at the wheel, or conspired to derail our economy. Many big money double agents like former Treas Sec Paulson, and even Bernanke, allowed the economic ship to enter the Devil's Triangle. Who knows if and when they can steer us out?
And If our current cast of "leaders" can't get the job done, vote them out, or can 'em!
Don't settle for anything less. Get involved at every level of government and vote. Yeah, I know... vote for who? Are you serious? Well, if the B team candidates don't cut it, let's take the bull by the horns and reform the whole election process!
We desperately need a resurgence in the Common Sense Party!

ivyinspired said: Could you tell me how to shorten the sleeves on a dress shirt? Is there an easier way that doesn't deal with having to mess with the cuff and sleeve placket?
That's a tough call.
If the sleeves are a little long (maybe half an inch?), the easiest thing to do would be to shift the cuff button so that it fits right on your wrist. I do that with all of my shirts anyway, but when the sleeves are a little long, this will correct the issue for the most part.
If it's much longer than that (like you got a shirt with sleeves one size bigger than normal), there isn't any easy way to take care of it. The easiest (relatively) would be to detach the cuff, cut the excess material, and reattach the cuff. You'd have to make sure to mark where the sleeve pleats are, have the right color thread, and be ready for a solid hour of slowly unstitching, and slowly restitching a straight line. I've done this a few times, and it doesn't always end up nice.
The other way would be to take it up from the sleeve, which is even more of a pain.

Monica Seles Fan Tributes
Published June 05, 2010 12:00
"I was only 7 or 8 when I started watching tennis. My father loved this new girl's game so I gave it a whirl. Her name was Monica Seles. Simply put, Monica is the reason I picked up the sport of tennis. She was just an inspiration to watch on and off the court. Monica would leave everything out there and attack every single shot with such vigor. This attitude made crowds want to cheer and opponents want to gasp in desperation. She is a class act and while the Tour is full of players playing a variation of her style of power tennis, there will never be another Monica."
- Jarrett Zarate, Laguna Niguel, CA, USA
"Monica is a great, great champion; in spite of all her troubles she always came back with the smile and with the passion of the game. She revolutionized the tennis 'rules' with her game. To me she's a great example of tenacity and dignity. Today I truly believe she's really happy in her life and at peace with herself. In this society, where image is everything, Monica Seles represents the perfect example of humility and intelligence. Throughout her great career she improved her game and herself. When I was a kid and a teenager I watched her matches with happiness and anxiety, I found in her a positive example with this motto 'everything possible'. Thank you Monica for all the memories, you are a wonderful woman. I wish you all the best in your life."
- Ludo, Bordeaux, France
"I really cannot describe how much I love Monica... I started watching tennis and become an amateur tennis player because of her. For me, the most impressive match was the final match of the 1998 French Open; when I became aware of the story behind the scenes I was deeply touched. I have collected most of her major matches on video, and always hoped that she would collect her tenth Grand Slam championship. Although, that hope has not been realized and Monica retired in 2008, what is more important than her happiness? I understand her choice. Till now when watching tennis, my mind is still full of Monica's game scenarios... I was inspired!"
- Geoffrey Li, Beijing, China
"As much as I loved Evonne Goolagong, Chris Evert, Stefan Edberg, and Ivan Lendl during their tennis heydays, Monica Seles is the only tennis great whose picture (during a match) still hangs on a wall in my den. That's my tribute to Monica."
- Fred Hunter, Chicago, USA
"When I hear the name Monica Seles, the first thing that comes to mind is 'champion'. A tennis great who's full potential was never truly fulfilled (imagine if it had been), my dad was the one who braught Monica to my attention. I remember him telling me the story of how she was number one and she was stabbed because she was the best, which is absurd and really tragic. Nine slams is a great accomplishment but she was better than that. Yet Monica never complained, never said 'what if' or 'if only', she carried on and fought until her very last match. She's a true champion, not only on the tennis court but in the hearts of many, many tennis fans worldwide. I miss that Monica Grunt :) She will be remembered as the greatest by many, including myself. i can only say good luck to her for whatever the future holds."
- Jamie Owen, Wales
"What a player! Monica Seles - her two-fisted, angled forehand (and backhand), her shrieks, her charm, her innocence, her delight - every bit of her game and presence instilled a sense of envy in people. How could someone so used to success love winning more and more, each time she scored a victory? And not just in a final. No, every match she won seemed to make her grin go wider and wider. It was nothing short of a disaster and a crime took Monica away from the sport for a few years. Her tennis seemed to have lost a bit of the old spark when she got back, but, she still had the same fighting spirit that endeared to competitors and fans alike. Miss you, Monica. Love you more."
- Ibtisam Ahmed, Dhaka, Bangladesh
"I loved watching Monica from the moment I saw her, around 1991. Her concentration, drive and knowledge of using the entire court and its angles was ridiculously amazing. I could pour on more superlatives but the one thing I wanted to note comes from watching the 1993 Aussie Open Final vs. Graf recently, as a classic match on Tennis Channel. It was sad to see even then, at the height of her powers, how much her grunting and who knows what else bothered spectators: on most of her points won, the crowd could barely muster a hurrah. It's a shame fans didn't realize they were watching something special. All the best to Monica for any and all endeavours she takes on from here on out."
- Ian Boyd, Dunedin, New Zealand

Atlanta | Boston | Dallas-Fort Worth | Honolulu | Kansas City | Los Angeles | Minnesota | Oklahoma | Philadelphia | Pittsburgh | St. Louis | San Antonio |
San Francisco
Ray Morris
Minnesota FEB Executive Director
What's the best part of working in your FEB area?
Minnesotans are highly educated, nice folks who have an outstanding work ethic. The Twin Cities is a metropolitan area of 3 million people keeping the small town spirit alive. Each weekend the cities empty out as the urban dwellers head to cabins and resorts surrounding the waterline of Minnesota's 10,000+ lakes.
What is the biggest drawback of working in your FEB area?
If you don't like cold weather and winter, it won't be fun.
What's the one piece of advice you would give a fed moving to your area?
Bring a warm parka, mittens and snow boots! It's going to be cold, so prepare to embrace the winter possibilities and sports. There is much to do in the winter in Minnesota but you need to go outside to enjoy it. Summers are also fantastic and lovely.
In a word, describe feds in your area.
How are feds perceived in your area and how does that affect morale?
The current trend of attacking Federal workers has taken its toll but many people in the community are privately supportive of the good work Federal employees do each day.
What's the average commute for feds in your FEB area, or your personal commute?
Commuting in the Twin Cities metro of Minneapolis and St. Paul can be daunting each day but other areas of the state are marked by very enjoyable trips to work.
Is the distance from D.C. a blessing or a curse?
What's your area's can't miss attraction?
The hundreds of kitschy roadside sculptures from the 55 foot tall "Jolly Green Giant" standing guard in Blue Earth to Minnesota legend Paul Bunyon and his blue ox "Babe" next to the lake in Bemidji.

These Autumn Ballad poems are examples of Ballad poems about Autumn. These are the best examples of Autumn Ballad poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
The wind passed through the trees
A delicate touch
A delicate leaf,
fell on me
Crisp and tan,
down it fell...
You cannot change
A turning leaf
A falling leaf
A falling man
I held it in my hand
So light...
So fragile...
How this leaf could withstand
A Summers season
Now a dying Autumn,
in this changing land
The colour turned...
The leaves fell on me
A falling man,
in a changing Autumn land
A delicate touch
A delicate leaf
Could be crushed
Yet, with a soft blow
I let an Autumn leaf go
The leaves falling...
From an Autumn tree
Crisp and tan
A falling man
A falling leaf
A falling me
I will appear
Lush and green,
in a summer next year
A delicate leaf
you have seen
you have let it go
in a changing colourland so
I wanted to put myself in a space occupied by happiness
Sweet embrace of the breeze felt in the sea side of Pahut Bongao near Sanga-sanga
Everyone is happy doing the ritual of Panulak Bala'
The month to throw misfortunes that Tausug believed
Beach full of dancing waves from the sea
Never limit the horizon of falling leaves of trees

Praying For Rain (collaboration with-Chris D. Aechtner)
by~ CHRIS D. AECHTNER:
She resembles a ghost from the past,
and I wonder how long she will last?
There is no turning back-
cannot turn my back on her now.
Watching the sea slowly reclaim this pearl,
I can see just a hint of the girl,
shimmering beneath a film of sickness.
She still smiles through a frown of pain,
strengthening my resolve to see this through,
to make sure we both equally gain.
And when the waves finally pull her away,
pull out her dying breath,
will she transform back into rain?
She leans on me, light as a feather.
So light and fragile.
There is no turning back-
cannot turn my back on her now.
Watching the sea slowly reclaim this pearl,
I can see just a hint of the girl,
shimmering beneath a veil of sickness.
Hold her hand,
hand her back a smile,
I am praying for rain,
praying for rain.
*** by~ POET D:
Feel her peace,
Listen for her voice,
I am praying for rain,
praying for rain.
My dreams will always wonder in her field of rain.
A journey withered under the wavy seas.
There is no turning back-
cannot turn my back on her now.
Watching the sea slowly reclaim this pearl,
I can see just a hint of the girl,
shimmering beneath a veil of sickness.
Light as a feather, I fell her Autumn sun,
I feel her presence, her sickness is gone,
upon my face I feel the moonlight rain.
At last she is leaving behind these wiping tears.
Her rain-less eyes now open the seas and skies,
pouring her jewels of purity in to my heart.
There is no turning back-
cannot turn my back on her now.
Watching the sea slowly reclaim this pearl,
I can see just a hint of the girl,
shimmering beneath a veil of sickness.
She is the ghost from my past
and I pray for this essence of her rain to last.
A Collaboration with *Chris D. Aechtner
I am the face of misery
My life, a dissonance of autumn and spring,
The years are written in the same
Lugubrious, nostalgic grey
How can it be the author to blame?
I cannot scream this all away…
Burn nor Bleed this all away…
To Death I am Ordained
Lacuna ever growing
With Velvet sheets of life flowing
Aeons apart of my "royalty"
Under the mask the cannot see...
Can you dispel this tragedy:
Antigone - Epiphany failing
If it must be…
Then just kill me,
(Antigone) sing me out of reality;
I wear this dissonant crown of shame
(Antigone) Of a kingdom's disdain
I hate to be this way... normalcy's bane
(Antigone) Here comes the edict, to blame
The sordid child of Thebes,
This is me,
No words of hope
No words of hate
Do I have Lenore to send to me:
The sordid child of Thebes
Caught In the longest nightmare
life - the slowest way to die
I know this is my life
But I'm not under control
under the mask the will see
Just Another Human
If it must be…
Then just kill me,
(Antigone) sing me out of reality;
I wear this dissonant crown of shame
(Antigone) Of a kingdom's disdain
I hate to be this way... normalcy's bane
(Antigone) Here comes the edict, to blame
The sordid child of Thebes,
This is me,
If it must be…
Then just kill me,
(Antigone) sing me out of reality;
I wear this dissonant crown of shame
(Antigone) Of a kingdom's disdain
I hate to be this way... normalcy's bane
(Antigone) Here comes the edict, to blame
The sordid child of Thebes,
This is me,
Can you dispel my life; this tragedy?
Can you control the storm in my mind?
I'm asking you: can you rid me
Of The Curse of Antigone?
I catch a glimpse of you in summer deep
Your auburn tresses floating through the trees
Where at the sight of you a willow weeps
And throws her golden leaves upon the breeze
As you almost bring me to my knees
Your beauty filling me with such desire
As I turn my back on summer as she leaves
Spellbound! As you set the world on fire
I watch you wake the maples from their sleep
Burning cleaving leaves, I watch them bleed
As slowly and quietly you creep
Over meadows and fields of grazing sheep
Leaving your silhouette on the creek
As your flames grow higher and higher
As I follow, not knowing where you lead
Spellbound! As you set the world on fire
I walk through ashes falling at my feet
On a path beneath a golden canopy
And look out at where earth and heaven meet
As you blaze a trail in front of me
Onward through marshlands cattails and reeds
I see your breath rising from the muck and mire
In a rainbow of liquid crystal beads
Spellbound! As you set the world on fire
Lost between desire and melancholy
I rest a spell, my body grown tired
And lay myself upon the dying leaves
Spellbound! As you set the world on fire

Written: September 3rd, 2013
Long miles of tedious journey,
Missing my darling honey.
Travelling impatiently, spend thousands of
Hope god will bless me with ma lucky soul
at this season.
Equatorial island exploring its amazed
beauty, glittering with immersed grasses.
Wrapped by queens necklaced small lake
aside, at the outskirts of dalhousie.
My heart dwelled into its god gifted
When the night lime lighted,
Millions of stars scattered around
charming moon.
As if its was a wondering boon.
Lucky enough for landing with my next
Eagerly waiting for my heart chaser,
Girl passed near by, few seconds later.
Flaming beauty mould my soul.
Topped with innocence, ready for my
auspicious goal.
Her chic appearance,
Her innocent appeal.
Strucking heart raised with high beats..
Awaited for our romantic date in ma
upcoming meet.
Frequency of our nature matched.
Stolen Eyes of each other were catched.
Strings of our heart whistled
Everything had happened miraclelously.
I rebelled the three precious words of
romantic dictionary.
Accepting my red rose, She blushed.
At event of recreation, campfire were
Nobody around us, private moments
between we two spotlighted.
Playing guitar, she sinked with every beat,
That's the coincidence our eyes again
Hand in hand danced with the soothing
romantic theme,
Sparkling smile on her face beamed.
Getting closer to her, because of her
fragranced cream.
Expecting the light around us to be dim.
The romantic moment again came,
Flaps of my soul opened for the grand
She looked too pretty in her gold lame
My heart awarded her an order of chivalry.
Don't know who are you, but baby you are
the one, I am in love.
You live in me, You are my love
I feel you in my heart,
You are my world, I just cant stay apart!
Please don't hesitate, please don't lie,
Whatever you feel, my heart can buy!
Angel of life, Its just you.
Completeness in life can't be without you.
Wanna Carry journey happily together.
Tickling nose, Queenly beauty of my white
Hold my senses, its caught by you.
Don't let be just memories, wanna feel
ecstasy of love towards you forever.
Promising to hold your hand throughout
life in this lovely weather.
Will be your shadow, because your pain
will be mine.
Its destiny that our heart clicked a
snapshot of each other's soul.
Stopping by my question, Will you marry
me, my Kindred Soul?
To watch them pass on by
So pensive, grave, with winter in the lace
That shrouds each year that time cannot deny
A springtime switched to autumn graces
Has furrowed in their seasoned faces
And covers gray of silken hair
While all the world strolls by in haste
With a sense of reverence in the air
She lifts her languid eye
A wrinkled brow portrayed
Where lines of time and experience lie
Where every movement displays
The falling leaves of yesterday
Before the tears of sweet despair
Were spread upon the April day
With a sense of reverence in the air
Composed they stroll, arm in arm, thigh to thigh
Some say their worth has spent its day
She holds her self in calm reply
His world once used him by swift pace
Wisdom disregards the youthful chase
They walk to buy some flowers fair
Their youth is put to rest today
With a sense of reverence in the air
No tear should trickle from your eyes
No need to mourn for yesteryear
For sagely knowing what never dies
With sense of reverence in the air
Inspired by Catie's contest Ballade Boomba
As the autumn of life drifts in
The lights of my eyes grow dim
With the joy of my years
Still beside me here
There is not much that I will fear
As the winter of my life arrives
My voice will be just a whisper
With the joy of my salvation
Waiting for me at the station
I will in quiet adoration kneel
In my mind spring will beckon me
The baggage old and beat I'll leave
With the joy of my life just within sight
The constant yearning will cease
As perfect joy will become complete
Тhe ending winter broke
the last crystal day
I thank you for thee are
to light my inner flame.
The linden spread its planets-
a scent of spring and laugher
I thank you,dear,for you felt
despite them all, my order.
The winds with airy palms
are waving stifling wheat.
I thank you for the hands
wherewhit you swung my locks.
Ashy autumns shiver,
telling me to let you go,
but you catch every tremor
sighted by my stilly lips
And words not leaves are falling
Yes, this leafy autumn
for us is like an altar,
I swear,I need you to bear.
Look, silence already raps
at our foggy window.
I thank you for you're here
and still have faith in me.
he was there just like before
my mind wandered
as he gazed
out the window
as traffic approached
he opened his jacket
retrieving a pack of cigarettes
Winston's his favorite brand
he would tap the butt
on the table top
suddenly he took out a match book
revealing the red stick
igniting the tobacco flashes before me
as screams evolved my space
a man a match a blaze
my eyes wide shut
as he controlled the town with his
hands sirens sounded amidst
mayhem chaos and confusion
he had killed again
forcing me to witness
his wrath once more
one man one match one blaze
he had captured me now
there was no turning back
this I knew full well
he would end my life
why if I ever tell
why that would be revealing hell
suddenly his eyes turn to coal black
the darkness covered the diner
as men played pool gathering sticks
and cubes my mind wandered
my eyes watching the match
meanwhile the gravity began to pull me
from a standing position leaning
against a bathroom stall
i had heard the plot the plans
the wretchid toiling of souls
thee arsonist drooled over pages
blue prints and eviction notices
that read code enforcement
his finger tips were thick full of fungus
i arose from a stand still when he announced
the demolision of a rotten hotel
claiming his insurance taxes
surely the tenants would pay dearly
on this autumn day he collected dynamite
copper wires and lot's of mud and puddy
destruction would occur from a single match
souls began to reach for me one by one
the counting of 8 lives to perrish on this date
fearless he approached the workers you you and him
i remember thinking oh how grim
one man sitting with two eyes of dark coals
one man one match 8 souls

The chromosome ends of Saccharomyces cerevisiae are complex mosaics of several different types of telomeric and subtelomeric elements known as X element core sequences, X element combinatorial repeats, telomeric repeats, and Y' elements (2). The X element core sequence, a small conserved element of ~475 bp containing an ARS sequence and in most cases an Abf1p binding site, is the only region shared by all chromosome ends (2, 1). The X element combinatorial repeats, formerly known as subtelomeric repeats or STRs, are located between the X element core sequence and the telomeric end and are usually present as a combination of one or more of several types of smaller elements designated D, C, B, or A (2, 1). The telomeric repeat is a G-rich terminal sequence of the form (TG1-3)n that is maintained by telomerase (1). The Y' element is a helicase-encoding repetitive sequence found in many but not all subtelomeric regions next to the telomeric repeats, or adjacent X element combinatorial repeats, either as a single copy or tandem repeat of two to four copies (3, 1, 4). Possible functions of telomeric regions include roles in chromosomal segregation, maintenance of chromosome stability, recombinational sequestering, or as a barrier to transcriptional silencing (2, 1).
TEL08R, the right telomeric region of chromosome VIII, is composed of an X element core sequence TEL08R-XC containing an ARS consensus sequence and an Abf1p binding site, X element combinatorial repeats TEL08R-XR of the D, C, and B types spanning dubious ORF YHR217C, an internal stretch of telomeric repeats TEL08R-TR2 also spanning dubious ORF YHR217C, a short Y' (Y'-S) element TEL08R-YP containing an ARS consensus sequence, a region of 36-bp repeats, two uncharacterized ORFs (YHR218W and YHR219W) and two dubious ORFs (YHR218W-A and YHR219C-A), and a terminal stretch of telomeric repeats TEL08R-TR1.

text: I went to a funeral last Friday. And I've been thinking a lot about it over the past week. About all funerals, really. What is it that they say about funerals? That they're for the living? It makes sense. Only the living would really need a funeral. Because it offers a means of saying goodbye….

This is a good recipe. I have made it several times and the whole family likes it. I prefer to cook it on the stove. Instead of baking, I allow it to come to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and cook about 20 minutes. When I have baked it, it required longer than the recipe states to finish. I've made it without the parsley and it is just as good.

What are the pros? Very Productive even in Clay.
What are the cons? N/a
I grew several different carrots this spring and this was by far the most productive in my hard Missouri clay. The runner up would have to of been the Parisians. These just seemed to offer up the most carrot per sq. ft. compared to the others. Tastes great and the short, fat carrots are so easy to grow. I thinned them very minimally, planted to thick, and let them get weedy(none of which I would advocate), yet they still produced a bumper crop.

What are the pros? Easy to grow
What are the cons? none
This was my 2nd attempt at growing carrots from seeds. My first attempt was unsuccessful due to lack of nutrients and minerals in my soil. But this attempt was very successful. Easy to grow seeds! Sweet and flavorful! Once I thinned them out a bit, they really took off.

What are the pros? Flavor
This is my first attempt with Carrots in my garden and I can honestly say they performed and performed well. I will be growing these tasty carrots again.

What are the cons? None
This was my first garden and these carrots were great! Very sweet and crisp - nice flavor. They required minimal care and grew well in our clay soil (mixed with peat/compost). Planted in early September and pulled up most in late December. Definitely planting more in the early spring!

What are the pros? EVERYTHING!
What are the cons? Nothing.
I did a gardeners 'oops'. I planted these seeds in March in my zone 5b garden - planned on a early summer crop. I put in the plant marker (which got pushed in too far and I couldn't see it), then accidentally planted another crop (celery) in the same place. Honestly, I totally forgot I planted the carrot seeds. Celery requires a LONG time to mature; several months. I put the celery transplants in the ground in early April not remembering the carrot seeds were there. The celery grew large and thick and 6 months later, in mid September, I pulled up the celery and was shocked to find an abundance of amazing carrots! -Especially when I didn't know they were there. Despite ZERO care for half a year, their shape was perfect, no side shoots, the color was vibrant, they were large yet still tender and the taste is just delicious. It's more than rare to find seeds that you can plant and ignore for 6 months that yield such a delicious and tender carrot!

Before & Afters from DC Design Pros
One of the most satisfying parts of any project is comparing the Before & After photos. A glimpse through my photo folder of the 2010 DC Design house made me marvel at the transformations that took place in just a month!
As the designers of this year's DC design house prepare to get started on the new house later this month, it's fun to peek at the progress made in last year's showhome. Every year, the house chosen is one with great potential and stunning architectural details, and last year's beaux arts mansion was no exception. Even so, jarring color choices and dated finishes left something to be desired — some of DC's best designers were up for the challenge!
• 1-2: Rose DiNapoli of Morris DiNapoli transformed the dark and dated room into a restful but sophisticated study. In addition to changing the color palette, removing the cabinetry and adding wainscoting created an open and cohesive feel in the small room.
• 3-5: Shazalynn Cavin-Winfrey of SCW brought out the subtle drama of the foyer, staircase, and upstairs hall. The chic striped wallpaper, bold paintings, and stunning light fixtures added an unexpected punch while still having it relate perfectly to the feel of the rest of the house.
• 6-7: Michael Hampton transformed the dramatic guest room into a tailored but sumptuous bedroom. His subtle color choices and swathes of fabric brought out the room's softer qualities. The drapes behind the bed made the whole room seem more refined.
• 8-9: Sally Steponkus swathed the master bedroom in crisp and inviting neutrals which transformed the once dark space into a luminous retreat. Her subtle patterns gave the traditional space and furnishings a clean and upbeat feel, all the while exuding a sense of relaxation.
• 10-11: I was especially interested to see what Nestor Santa-Cruz did to the boldly faux-finished reception/sitting room. In past design houses, he has left large parts of the previous ornamentation in place and creatively incorporated it into his new vision. Such was the case with this room. Although he painted over the celestial ceiling mural, he left the faux-stone walls and ceiling grid untouched and worked around them, creating a sleek urban room.
• 12-13: Kelley Proxmire revived the upstairs family room with deep browns and crisp whites. The high contrast color choice, graphic upholstery, and youthful artwork lent a fresh air to the once tired room.
• 14-15: Frank Babb Randolph transformed the grand living room into a serene and sophisticated gathering spot. Although he swapped out the electric peach wall color for a restful gray, he infused parts of the room with bold hues reminiscent of the previous room's palette. Frank's color choices made the most of the fabulous light and beautiful architectural details of the room.

Wow, they know how to make everything *beige*. (facepalm)
I am dissapoint.
I really love the color of the living room but I'm disapointed that the beautiful windows weren't used in the guest room and the master bedroom is fine, but nothing special (however, it does look better than before)
I'll agree with Tzipporah2 and QueenoftheFall...this is boring. They figured out how to leech all of the color out of what looks like a unique and interesting house.
I really dislike placing a bed in front of a window.
I like the changes to cabinets, wallpaper, and paint, but the "afters" mostly look staged, and rather bland.
I love all these, but I have to agree with previous posters that I miss some of the beautiful colors it had before :(
Also, the gorgeous windows in the guest bedroom aren't being used to their full potential.
Overall an improvement, but I want more color!
i think this is a wonderful before and after. Very sophisticated.
So are these staged houses that are meant to just be looked at and never lived in? Because they're all very sterile. No pets, no children, no stuff allowed.
In short: Bleh.
I was surprised to see so many negative comments to be honest. (though I'm not sure why I was surprised... this IS apartment therapy where everyone seems to get their 'bitch' on...?) Anyway..... I really liked the guest room and thought what they did was quite clever. I really love the staircase; that wallpaper and the pink artwork: wow. I like the clear plant stands in the entrance and I also loved how (in the last pic) some of the previous colour scheme was used in the furnishings. I LOVE colour but in such a big space having so much of such 'punchy' colours would be ott. Inspiring post, thankyou. :)
I like everything, but I confess I'm a bit disappointed that the celestial ceiling was painted over -- I'd liked to have seen a full photo of it because I suspect I'd have enjoyed it a lot -- unless it was more ugly than the snippit shown suggests!
Come on people, the textures and patterns of the neutrals are elegant and sophisticated. Not everybody wants to live with fuschia!
I'm so glad I will never have to walk into that entry way. The upstairs picture particularly makes me sad.
totally meh, except I loooove the pink "formal portrait" above the staircase. Awesome.
why so angry?
The rooms are great showcases for changing a really boring place into a dramatic room worthy of its building. They're also *showrooms*, hence how they look unlived-in, in the same large house.
I don't love everything about them, but really dig the drama that will last *way* longer than those red walls in the bedroom! Plus, I'd love to sleep in that guest room because you won't get the sun in your face on vacation!
It's very sophisticated and probably "correct" in some circles. I find it completely lacking in personality and very boring indeed. It reminds me of a guy I used to date and described to my friends as "very nice and we have pleasant conversations, but..." ...
Classy and sassy.
the stairs/entry is kinda badass in a sofia coppola's marie antoinette way. i hate they painted over the ceiling's mural. the rest? très bland.
Arguably, the "after" is an improvement on the "before," but it feels SUPER dated to me. None of the rooms make me want to be in them. I like the peach chairs in the living room, and the sofa and end table in the sitting room. Nearly everything else looks like it could be sourced at Filene's...
Not my style at all but I think it's beautiful. But wait! Did they get rid of those gorgeous French doors in the LR??

Stephanie Gularte's Hedda Gabler floats onto the shadowed stage with an otherworldly presence. Alone in a darkened living room, she snatches off sheets covering furniture, gasping quietly, and it seems she might asphyxiate at any moment. While her Hedda will not physically suffocate, the intensely desperate character might as well. In the next 24 hours, her world will close in around her, becoming an increasingly airless void.
The fascinating new Capital Stage adaptation and production of "Hedda Gabler," Henrik Ibsen's 1891 classic about a woman on the edge, streamlines the drama, leaving Hedda even more exposed than usual.
Ibsen's greatness lies partly in how he turned the "well-made play" of his era inside- out, creating characters, especially women, who had complex inner lives. Hedda Gabler is a pinnacle of that artistry, and Gularte masterfully embodies Hedda, continually exposing her misplaced yearning and festering dissatisfaction, even while lurking silently at the back of the stage.
The original adaptation, created by Capital Stage with director Janis Stevens, strives for timelessness but still churns on the central conceit of Ibsen's creation. Hedda has nowhere to go but desperately seeks something profound in her life. She's recently become the wife of George Tesman, a genial though dull academic in an unremarkable town. The superb Michael Wiles' earnest Tesman offers a bustling contrast to Gularte's coolly removed Hedda.
Having just returned from a long honeymoon abroad much of which George spent working they now face the domestic life ahead of them. It's a marriage neither thought they'd make: a step down for her and a bonanza for him. Hedda knows she's tightly yoked to her husband's finite teaching and research prospects. Her hopes for a grand life are dim, even with the best of outcomes for the teaching position that Tesman hopes to gain.
The lean adaptation loses any substantive reference to Hedda's late father, a general she adored, and whose position affords her status as well. There's only a vague sense of what she's lost or how far she's fallen, though Gularte makes it clear Hedda desires more than Tesman can provide in any way. The audience understands her malaise but that doesn't excuse her behavior, which moves from boorish to tragically manipulative.
Their homecoming receives a jolt when Eilert Lovborg (an outstanding Jonathan Rhys Williams), a former lover of Hedda's, returns to town. The gifted Lovborg is a surprising rival for the same teaching position Tesman thought he was promised and has counted on.
Following Lovborg is Thea Elvsted (a fine Jessica Chisum), clearly in love with him and sparking intense jealousy in Hedda. Peter Mohrmann has glorious turn as the cynically arch Judge Brack, the only person who seems to truly understand Hedda. The wonderful veteran actress Vada Russell is delightful as Tesman's dutiful Aunt Julia.
Gail Russell's stunning costumes create an air of crisp modernity.
Director Stevens creates a gorgeously intimate spectacle with her strong, complementary ensemble.

Intervest Bancshares Corporation Stock Upgraded (IBCA)
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass.
- Investors have apparently begun to recognize positive factors similar to those we have mentioned in this report, including earnings growth. This has helped drive up the company's shares by a sharp 54.71% over the past year, a rise that has exceeded that of the S&P 500 Index. Regarding the stock's future course, although almost any stock can fall in a broad market decline, IBCA should continue to move higher despite the fact that it has already enjoyed a very nice gain in the past year.
- INTERVEST BANCSHARES CORP has improved earnings per share by 7.7% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. During the past fiscal year, INTERVEST BANCSHARES CORP increased its bottom line by earning $0.48 versus $0.45 in the prior year.
- The gross profit margin for INTERVEST BANCSHARES CORP is rather high; currently it is at 60.00%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 17.41% is above that of the industry average.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has exceeded that of the S&P 500, but is less than that of the Commercial Banks industry average. The net income increased by 12.6% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, going from $3.13 million to $3.53 million.
- IBCA, with its decline in revenue, underperformed when compared the industry average of 0.7%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues fell by 12.4%. The declining revenue has not hurt the company's bottom line, with increasing earnings per share.

PRINCETON (WVVA) - Lightning may be to blame for a fire that damaged an apartment in Mercer County early Wednesday morning.
According to dispatchers, the call came in from a residence at Princeton Village Apartments at 4:55 a.m.
Officials with the East River Volunteer Fire Department say accounts from a resident at the scene indicate the fire may have been triggered by a lightning strike.
The resident reported discovering the fire shortly after a loud blast of thunder.
Fire Fighters say the fire started between the first and second floor of the apartment and spread to the attic.
The official cause remains under investigation. No injuries were reported.
The Princeton City Fire Department and Princeton Rescue Squad assisted East River at the scene.
Property managers with Princeton Village will not comment.

I was once a huge Woody Allen fan. But I haven't watched one of his movies in 20 years. Granted, he's a cinematic genius, but I can certainly understand the Farrow family's disgust at this tribute.
But Hollywood never worries about the dirty laundry, and staying married to Soon-Yi Previn, his virtual child bride, has probably helped him with the "in crowd." The music industry fails to acknowledge the dark side of Michael Jackson, it's no surprise the film industry would do the same.

German tuning company, Mansory , spent a few months building an impressive list of models ready to be showcased at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show , and when Geneva opened its doors, Mansory blew us away once again with their Geneva offerings.
One that struck our interest is their take on the luxurious Bentley Continental GT . The expressive customization on the British luxury car involves an emphatic aero and performance kit that has turned the Continental into a genuine eye-catcher.
On the aesthetic front, Mansory went out and added a newly-designed front apron that includes proprietary daytime driving lights and an lightweight carbon-fiber bonnet. Even more carbon fiber was added on the front wings, while the newly designed side sill sets add 50mm at the front axle and 60mm at the rear axle, effectively widening the Continental GT's stance. The program also has a new rear apron that not only delivers additional down thrust, but also creates enough space for the newly installed exhaust pipes. Finally, the German tuner fitted the British luxury sports car with a new set of 22" ultra light forged wheels.
Inside, Mansory dressed up the Continental GT with the finest materials you can find, including leather that has been treated by master craftsmen. There's also a newly designed airbag sports steering wheel, aluminum pedals, door entry sills, and plenty of carbon fiber trim.
Going to the engine, the Continental GT already possesses a powerful 6.0-liter W12 engine that produces a stout 567 horsepower and 516 lb/ft of torque, but Mansory decided that wasn't enough. They added a new sports exhaust system, a new sports air filter, and tweaked the ECU unit, resulting in an increased output of 672 horsepower and 575 lb/ft of torque. All that translates to a 0-62 mph time of 4.5 seconds with a top speed of 200 mph.

I went grocery shopping with my mum today to help her, and so that I could get a ride to another store to buy more conditioner and body wash.
Ended up spending 60 dollars. But, I got a workout top (taking going to the gym very seriously this summer, to get more healthy), two dresses that can be casual or business casual as well as a 100% silk tunic which is absolutely stunning and only 10$ from a thrift store. [to clarify, only the silk tunic was thrifted, definitely NOT the workout top!] Didn't plan to spend so much, but if I had bought dresses another day and from another store I imagine that I would have spent much more. And that 60$ includes the toiletries… at the very least, bang for the buck.
