In a late October poll of more than 225 self-directed investors by TradeKing Group, Inc., 47 percent said a win by Governor Romney would make them "more bullish" on the market, while only 20 percent said a win by President Obama would make them "more bullish."
While President Obama's October numbers improved slightly on this question from the January and July TradeKing surveys, more than twice as many respondents expressed they would be bullish on the market under a Romney presidency. Interestingly, in a TradeKing survey conducted just a year ago in the midst of the GOP primary race, investors were asked to pick which Republican candidate running for president would be most effective in moving the economy forward. In that survey, Governor Romney received only 16 percent of responses. October 2011 TradeKing Survey Results
The October 2012 survey also revealed that the majority of investors are taking a neutral position on the market through the end of the year, watching for results from the U.S. election, quarterly earnings, and international markets, among other indicators.
The in-house survey was conducted October 25-31st, 2012 by TradeKing Group, Inc., parent of online brokers TradeKing (www.tradeking.com) and Zecco Trading (www.zecco.com), via email to 8,000+ clients, with an estimated 95 percent confidence level.
Key Highlights from the Survey
Overall Market Sentiment: Taking a Wait and See Position
- Fifty-three percent of investors surveyed said they are taking a "neutral" position on the market over the next three months, up from 51 percent in July and 47 percent in January.
- Twenty-four percent of investors described themselves as "bullish" over the next three months, up four points from July but still well below January's high of 41 percent. Twenty-three percent described themselves as "bearish" over the next three months, down five points from July but up from January's low of 12 percent.
- Investor reaction was mixed when it came to the Federal Reserve's stance on interest rates. When asked "Are the Federal Reserve's policies regarding interest rates helping to keep you in the market at this time?" 43 percent said "no," 35 percent said "yes," and 22 percent said they were "unsure."
Post-Election Sentiment Projections
- Forty-seven percent said they would be "more bullish" on the market with a Romney win, 18 percent said they would be "more bearish" and 35 percent said their sentiment would be "unchanged."
- Twenty percent of respondents said they would be "more bullish" on the market with an Obama re-election, 39 percent said they would be "more bearish" and 41 percent said their market sentiment would be "unchanged."
Top Trading Triggers and Sectors
- Investors ranked quarterly earnings, international economic markets and the U.S. elections as their top trading triggers for the next three months.
- When asked to pick the favored sectors for the next three months from a "long" position, energy, healthcare and technology took the top spots. This quarter, respondents picked the retail, international and transportation/travel sectors as having the most potential from a "short" position.

Perfect Earrings
the diamonds are beautiful. they have so much sparkle. they are perfect
It was the perfect gift for her
I was looking for a gift for my wife for some time. The website is very friendly with all the information I need to make the expensive purchase with confident. The prices are very competetive to the market and service is excellent.
The earrings are perfect!
These earrings are exactly what I was expecting; they are gorgeous! The stones are matched well and I am pleased with the setting.
Turning 50, Not so bad!!
These earings are the real deal, I had shopped locally and was really disappointed.I was afraid to make a purchase on line, but I am so glad I did. From selection to purchase to delivery, just incredible. My wife loves them!
My wife loved the earrings.
They were beautiful. Better than I could have hoped for.
Great value - Great earrings
I've searched for over five years to find a nice pair of diamond earrings for the right price. The ones I found at Blue Nile were exactly what I was looking for. I was impressed with the packaging as well. The GIA certifications and an appraisal were also included.
The diamonds in my earrings were beautiful with all the sparkle I could have ever wanted. Very pleased with my purchase!
They make me feel beautiful.
These were a joint gift between my husband and me--I to wear them, and he to enjoy my wearing them. The earrings are beautiful with tremendous sparkle and fire, perfectly matched. They make me feel beautiful.
Beauty and quality outstanding!
Have given my wife many pieces of high quality jewelry over the years. These earrings are certainly now included. Did considerable comparative shopping before choosing Blue Nile. She said "no more jewelry", but she readily accepted the earrings with no intention of returning them! Great 50th Anniversary present!
Absolutely beautiful. I love my earrings.
I love my diamond earrings. I spent a lot of time trying to decide to go for a less quality with a larger diamond or the highest quality with a slightly small diamond to fit into my budget. I ended up selecting "signature ideal" cut with the slightly smaller diamond. I am so glad that I made the decision. Other diamonds that I own do not begin to match the sparkle of these diamonds even though they are the same color. I am pleased with them. The apprasal was almost double what I paid for them. This was a very nice suprise, The diamond earrings avialable at local jewerlry stores are nothing like the quality of these earrings. I will buy again from Blue Nile.
Even betterh than I expected.
Absolutely perfect! I couldn't have asked for any better!
Loves the earrings
My wife hasn't taken the earring off since I gave them to her. The website is very helpful and extremely easy to use. Quality is great.
My earrings are lovely and very exceptional quality. I could not be happier with the result!
The diamonds were dazzling.
I gave her the earrings as a wedding gift on Valentines Day and she loved them. I wanted "ideal" earrings to match her new Bule Nile "ideal" wedding rings and they matched perfectly. At 58 she was a lovely bride and the diamonds were dazzling.
The diamond education available on line was great. It allowed me to balance the different "C's" to get the best value for earrings I purchased. The diamond selection process was very easy allowing me to select ranges for the various criteria important to me. This allowed me to quickly hone in on the "perfect" diamonds for my wife's earrings.
I generally don't do the feedback thing. But in your case, I am pleased to say I was very happy with your web site; it was easy to use and helped me make an informed choice. The diamond earings arrived and I was very impressed with the quality, feeling that they represented a real value. But - most of all- my wife was thrilled! Thanks! I'm sure I'll be back.
looks like they're on fire! dazzling.
beautiful diamonds, as described. they definitely sparkle!
I know where to come for diamonds now
The earrings were perfect, and came exactly when I was told they would. Having reasonably prices for stellar products is one thing. But the customer service at this place is unparalleled.
Loved them - just what I was looking for. The customer education section helped me decide what parameters to select when ordering and it really worked.
They were perfect - just as shown on the website. Customer service was great, too.
15th Anniversery gift -- Major success!
I loved the ease of using the site and the fact that all the diamonds are independly graded -- no mystery about what I bought. I'm so sick of the local retail stores and their seemingly weekly "Sales of the Year" -- I can't say I'll never set foot in a jewelry store again, but at this point I doubt I ever will!
Very beautiful - much lovelier than anything available in local jewelry stores for the same money
The website is very user friendly. It was very easy to choose exactly the type of diamond I needed. The quality of the diamond is excellent and matched exactly what I was expecting.
The stones were beautiful, but I had to return the earrings because my wife did not feel comfortable with the screwback posts. Had I been able to order the regular "push" posts, she would have liked them.
Becuase of you, my wife loves me!
The number 1 reason I contacted, and ultimately bought from, Blue Nile is because I was frustrated with awful service from the nearby retailers. Customer Service at Blue Nile was awesome - helpful, patient, and pleasant to talk with (no huffing and puffing like I should know exactly what I want and it better be more than $10K). I will definitely be a repeat customer... by the way, my wife really likes the earings!

Is there a trailer involved? Was murder involved? How are polar bears and grizzlies in the same geographical region? Why are they being civil? Why do they need insurance? How did they learn about deductibles? Can I fish better than them? Well simply, yes, yes I can. I could out-fish the best bear fisherman that species could field. Bring it on, peasants!

Pucker Up For Summer
A gorgeous spring day in New York yesterday has us convinced that winter is officially over—a hard thing to wrap our brains around after a very long cold stretch. Even more difficult to comprehend: Summer color collections are hitting shelves right now. We're not quite prepared to break out the electric pink lipsticks that we reserve for evening functions in 80-degree weather, but the latest pout offerings from NARS sure are helping us get into that headspace. First up is Carthage, a very festive new shade of the editor's-favorite (this editor, specifically) Pure Matte Lipstick collection. Volga, a deep aubergine, and the limited-edition sandy rose, 413 Bleecker, already have permanent places in our makeup bag, and it's likely that Carthage, with its super-saturated, no-shine fuchsia finish, will join them very shortly. Until then, though, we're really enjoying Mayflower, a sheer shimmering raspberry—the same shade, coincidentally, that Molly Stern slicked onto Anne Hathaway's mouth for the Rio premiere last weekend. It's a very neutral, transitional color that is helping us get excited about wearing makeup again. Winter's multiple blizzards may have broken our spirit there for a bit, but we're bouncing back like champs.

The Microsoft® Office System provides direct access to valuable Microsoft supplied online resources, such as updated Help, new templates, clip art, and training materials. These online resources also include the Microsoft Office Update detection engine, which can be accessed by clicking Check for Updates on the Help menu in any Office application. This is the most reliable and efficient way to keep an Office installation up-to-date.
In many organizations, however, Office administrators manage the update process to retain a consistent configuration across all computers. Blocking users from updating their computers allows administrators the time to test patches or updates before implementation to make sure the updates work in their environment. This usually requires blocking users from accessing and running the Office Update detection engine.
In the past this was accomplished by blocking all access to the Internet from either Office applications or Internet Explorer. Although this step did prevent users from downloading updates, it also stopped them from accessing other useful resources available on Microsoft Office Online. If you prefer to block access completely to the Office Update Web site, but still allow access to other Office Online Web sites, see the article Allowing Internet Access from Office Applications.
A better method of preventing users from downloading Office updates, but still allow them access to other resources on Office Online, is to instruct the Office Update detection engine to not allow downloads to be installed. You can block access to Office updates by setting a single value in the following Windows registry entry:
When you set the BlockUpdates value data field to 1, the following occurs:
Note Setting BlockUpdates also prevents Office XP and Office 2000 users from downloading patches from Office Online because the Office Update detection engine is independent of the version of Office you have installed on your computer.
For Office 2000 or Office XP you can disable the Office on the Web command (Help menu) by redirecting it to a local Web site using the "Default User\Microsoft Office XP\Help | Office on the Web" policy, available in the Office9.adm or Office10.adm policy templates.
There are several ways to distribute these policy settings throughout your organization:
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Office 2003\Miscellaneous\Block updates from the Office Update Web site
Although this policy is only included in the Office 2003 administrator policy template file, the Office Online system respects the policy for Office 2000 and Office XP. If you want to use the policy setting with an older version of Office, you can load the Office11.adm policy template in either the Group Policy snap-in or the System Policy Editor and select to only enable the one policy.
The BlockUpdates registry setting blocks only Windows Installer-based patches (MSP files) designed for use with Office applications. It does not prevent users from downloading and applying updates for other applications, and it does not prevent users from running Windows Installer (Msiexec.exe) manually to apply an MSP file. To prevent users from applying all forms of MSP files, enable and set the DisablePatch policy. The DisablePatch policy is in the Instlr11.adm policy template in the "Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Installer\Disable Patching" policy path. This policy is respected by all versions of Windows Installer since version 1.1.
For more information about Windows Installer policies, see the Roadmap to Windows Installer Documentation.
In order to implement Group Policy in your organization, you must have Active Directory® and a Group Policy structure implemented for your domain. For more information about setting Office policies, see Managing Users' Configurations by Policy.

Navratri begins on Ashwin Shukla 1 (5 October 2013) on this year. According to one school of thought, Sri Mahakali (who has a tama pre-dominant temperament) is worshipped on the first 3 days of Navratri, to reduce the tama component in ourselves. The next 3 days, to enhance the raja component in ourselves, Sri Mahalakshmi (who has a raja pre-dominant temperament) is worshipped and on the last 3 days, to intensify the spiritual practice, Mahasaraswati (who has a Sattva pre-dominant temperament) is worshipped. Chant the Names of these Deities during these days. To learn more, obtain your copy of the Holy text 'Shakti', published by Sanatan Sanstha from the Sanatan centre nearest to you.

Science underlying the worship of Goddess during Navratri. Information on Ghatasthapana, Lighting of Akhand deep, Establishing Goddess Ashtabhuja and Navarnav Yantra, Malabandhan, Kumarika pujan, Garba etc.
Views: 13744Which specific flower should be offered to a specific Goddess?
Specific flowers have better ability to attract the subtlest particles of a specific Deity's principle. When these flowers are offered to the Deity during worship, they help awaken the idol and the devotee benefits from the chaitanya in the idol.

The subtle process in performing the ritual of 'Oti bharane' and its merits. What is the benefit in specific colour selection of the sari and blouse-piece offered to the Goddess?
Views: 6677What is the correct method of saying arti to Goddess?
The Goddess principle, that is the Divine energy principle is a confluence of the saviour and destroyer forms of Energy.
Views: 5862What is the significance of worshipping Shakti during nine days of Navaratri ?
It is necessary to perform puja of Shakti to become free from the trap of Mahishasur, by realising the illusory form of this Mahishasur. Therefore, Shakti should be worshipped in the nine days of Navratra.
Views: 5200Why is Aparajita form of Goddess Durga worshipped near Shami tree?
The Aparajita form of Goddess Durga is worshipped near the Shami tree because Shami leaves are good conservers of energy and they conserve the energy of Aparajita.
'Navratri' is the festival of worship of
the Goddess Shakti. It is a period of nine days, when the Goddess fought
the Demon 'Mahishashura' over nine days and nights and destroyed him on
the tenth day. Performing of Garba and the 'Dandiya' are forms of worship
of the Goddess. The Navratri festival has been celebrated for thousands of years.
Today, like in other Hindu festivals, many malpractices have crept into
this festival, also resulting in public nuisance. The public nuisance
includes forcible collection of donation, noise pollution, 'Garba' performed
to the tune of film songs, obscene dancing in drunken states with obscene
gestures, significant rise in the number of unmarried mothers after a
few months of Navratri, all this sounds a death knell for the Hindu religion
and civilization. In order to caution the Hindus about this danger, and
also to protect and maintain the sanctity of Hindu religion and civilization,
Hindu Janajagruti Samiti has undertaken this campaign. Today we are faced
with the problems of corruption, terrorism, naxalism etc., along with
increasing anti-Hindu incidents wherein Hindu temples, Saints, Scriptures
are targeted by the unrighteous (Dharmadrohis) it is high time for Hindus
to unite and fight against these evils. On the eve of 'Navratri' let us pray to the
Goddess 'Mahishasurmardini' to give us strength to fight against the evil
and protect our Hindu Dharma !
To stop the undesirable practices in Navratri you can do this !
Denigration of the Goddess
Anything, which is in consonance with the scriptures is ideal and spiritually beneficial. But today Hindu deities are denigrated in advertisements and in other media. Here is an example. Shri Durgadevi depicted nude by Anti-Hindu perverted painter M F Husain.See some other blasphemous denigrations of the Goddess. Click here

Super Sunday and drinking seem to go hand in hand. But you may want to think twice before driving home after the big game.
Extra patrols will look for drunk drivers in Albemarle County that day. Police say Super Bowl Sunday brings out a lot of people to bars who typically don't plan to stay the night anywhere. They are urging people to make plans and avoid making the decision to drink and drive because patrols will be out in full force.
"We just want people to plan ahead of time, make sure you have a designated driver. Unlike New Year's Eve where people plan to spend the night, a lot of us have to get up and go to work the very next day so make sure you plan to get home," said Sergeant Sean Hackney.
Police will start bringing out those patrols Saturday night.

The City of Montgomery is full of history. It played a key role in the Civil War, having been the first capital of the Confederate States of America in the 1860s. A century later it took a prominent role in the Civil Rights movement for racial equality.
So if you would enjoy watching a serious piece on historic Montgomery, you need not look to a new episode of Comedy Central's show Drunk History. Crews filmed an episode in Alabama's capital city Saturday night at the AviatorBAR on Commerce Street.
Drunk History is a weekly, half-hour series that relies on A-list talent to reenact historical moments after drunk storytellers explain the event. The drunken person's voice is then dubbed over the actors in the final film. The show is based on a popular web series on "Funny or Die" that was picked up by the comedy network.
Host Derek Waters, along with a changing cast of actors and comedians, travels across the United States presenting true historical tails from each city or town's past, but with a twist.
For example: When visiting Washington, D.C. the show's producers decided to reenact Elvis' December 21, 1970 visit with President Richard Nixon at the White House. But what happens when Jack Black is Elvis and the storyteller is drunk?

Or on a visit to Atlanta to show how Coca Cola was created, but with Bill Hader and Jenny Slate doing the teaching?

TheMontgomery County District Attorney response van hit the streets of theWoodlands Wednesday afternoon. It's part of a message being sent tobartenders in the township as we approach the Fourth of July.
AssistantDistrict Attorney Tyler Dunman is spearheading the effort. He says, " Iguess it's been about six months we arrested a bartender here.".
Dunman willbe going from bar to bar in Waterway Square telling the managers and serversabout their responsibility.
The Cars andBars task force got underway in Montgomery County last year after a tragicscene on I-45 near the woodlands. In a 48 hour period two differentdrivers, allegedly intoxicated, went the wrong way on theinterstate. When the dust settled five people were killed in the twocrashes.
Brad Martinis the manager at Grimaldi's in the Woodlands. He says they refuse to puttotal responsibility on their bar patrons. He warns his staff to knowtheir customers limits as the Fourth approaches.
Martin says,"I definitely want to give them the power to cut someone off after allit's the people we're trying to take care of."
A bartendercould be charged with a misdemeanor if they over serve. That's twoyears in jail... But should they car that burden for adults who are capable ofmaking their own choices on the stool at the bar? That's the question weput to some in the Woodlands.
Their opinionsvaried depending on the person we asked.

Nucor Corp. has announced another price increase on concrete reinforcing bar, sending buyers scrambling to stock up before prices jump by $45 per ton next month.
A lagging U.S. market for plate steel products—lagging in terms of demand and in the timing of price hikes relative to flat-rolled steel—is beginning to gain traction as 2010 draws to a close, according to market sources.
The lockout of 900 union-represented workers at U.S. Steel Canada is dragging on with no end in sight, and it appears only an economic turnaround will remove the padlocks from the Hamilton, Ontario, plant's gates.
Insteel Industries Inc. is moving its Texas manufacturing operations from the Houston plant it acquired as part of its purchase of Ivy Steel & Wire Inc.'s assets to the Dayton, Texas, plant it has operated since 1983.
Timken Co. has received approximately $5.24 million under the U.S. Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act (CDSOA) for 2010.
The U.S. steel industry need not worry about an influx of steel sheet imports in the next few months, despite multiple price increases by domestic producers, trade experts said.
ArcelorMittal SA will split its stainless steel business from the rest of the group by floating shares in Europe and the United States early next year, the company said.

Community leader John Sandefur dies
Date: September 18, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
Sarasota has lost one of its biggest community advocates. John Sandefur, 78, died Sept. 17, after a battle with pulmonary fibrosis.
"He was one of the best voices that Sarasota could have had," said longtime friend Gil Waters.
As chairman of the traffic-control group, Mobility Now, Sandefur could frequently be found in the City Commission Chambers pushing commissioners to relieve traffic congestion along the bayfront.
"He really stood up for the right things to do with our infrastructure," said Waters, also a Mobility Now member. "He was one of the senior visionaries in our community."
Born in 1931, in Columbus, Ohio, Sandefur worked as a developer and builder in his hometown.
Community involvement was a lifelong pursuit for him.
"When we lived in Columbus, he was involved in organizations that bettered the community," said Sandefur's wife of 55 years, Tana. "He felt everyone had a strong obligation to better their community."
When he moved to Sarasota in 1981, he brought that sense of obligation with him.
Sandefur served as president of four condo associations, a member of the Sarasota Memorial Hospital Foundation board and a trustee of the John and Mabel Ringling Museum of Art.
The Association of Fundraising Professionals named Sandefur the outstanding philanthropist of 2008. He has also been recognized by the Salvation Army and Circus Sarasota for his support of those organizations.
Sandefur and Waters and Mobility Now members Bob Johnson, Bob Tate and Bob Peterson were featured in a Jan. 15 Sarasota Observer story on their monthly get-togethers known by the endearing name "Old Coots Lunch Bunch."
The five men would frequently talk about how they could stop the city's bayfront-connectivity plan, which called for several roundabouts on U.S. 41.
"We'll never get off the keys if they continue with these things," Sandefur said at the time.
Sports were also an important part of Sandefur's life. He was proud of his work as a tennis umpire at Wimbledon and the U.S. Open for 17 years.
Sandefur is survived by his wife, Tana, daughters, Debra and Jane, and three grandchildren.
A memorial service is planned for 11 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 10, at the United Methodist Church at 104 South Pineapple Ave.

A very short story about Shinya comforting Die. This is my first try-what do you think?
"Ow!" yelped Die as he tried to grasp the guitar case in his hand.
"Die-san, are you alright?" asked Shinya from the bedroom on the tour bus. He peeked his head into the doorway to see the guitarist rubbing his hand.
"I'm alright Shinya," Die answered. "I just pulled something in my hand earlier today during practice. It's no big deal."
He shook his golden hair, trying to show his tough side. Shinya quietly joined his side. He noticed Die's hand was a little swollen.
"You should ice your hand and wrap it in a stretch-bandage."
"Shinya, it's fine. Your shoulder injury was serious, this is not." Die gave a sigh as he tried to move his fingers. Shinya gently took Die's hand. Die couldn't help but feel comforted by the drummer's tender grasp. Shinya started to massage Die's hand, taking care not to do it too hard, but enough to ease the pain. They both sat down on the couch. As they sat, Shinya continued massaging Die's hand. He looked into Die's eyes, and gave him a soft smile.
"Does your hand feel any better?"
"Yes it does." Die replied with a grin.
"I'll go get some ice." said Shinya. Die started to stand.
"No, I can get-" but Shinya already left the couch and came back shortly with a towel filled with ice,surgical tape, and a stretch-bandage. He sat back down and placed the cold towel onto Die's hand. Then he placed pieces of tape around it, securing it in place. As he wrapped the bandage around his hand, Die looked at Shinya.
"You didn't need to do all this. You know that I'll be fine tomorrow."
"Nevertheless, a little care wouldn't have hurt either." Die flopped back onto the couch pillows.
"I guess you're right." Shinya placed his head onto Die's chest and grasped his free hand. Die gave it a little squeeze. They looked out the window, noting the sun that was starting to set.
"The others will be coming in soon." Shinya replied quietly. Die gave a little laugh.
"No doubt Toshiya will be wondering what we are doing."
They continued looking at the setting sun and started to nod off. Surely enough, they could hear the others coming and they both smiled as they heard Toshiya saying,
"Let's wake them!"

HOLD YOUR OPINIONS FOR A SEC, and allow me to play 'devil's advocate' (no pun intended)...the current 'good over evil' war presently escalating between Bounty & Tommy lee is centred on Bounty not accepting Tommy Lee bringing in what he sees as unsuitable culture into Dancehall music, but while ranting to his twitter followers Killa goes on to make the following quote which some are now viewing as 'the pot calling the kettle black'...
"Demons and Spartans nuh match we culture, I don't conform or reform I stand firm, so who wah go da way gwaan deh and stay deh, yes a me say 'Bus Up Mi Gun' 'People Dead' 'Murder Boy' inna me song dem, but that's it no satanic, demonic or masonic bloodclaat, poor ppl unuh waah tun inna duppy, like unuh self, see dem sink the bleacher inna hell deh already so unuh gwaan follow!"
If we are being honest at the end of it all what Bounty has said is that it is ok for himself and others in Dancehall to privilige a life of 'gun fi buss' & 'blood fi run' culture...BUT Tommy Lee's "man psycho" is disallowed, or are we misinterpreting his tweet?
But let's not make it all about the artist who also calls himself the 'Warlord,' as Dancehall is replete with other so called 'gansta artistes' including Mavado, Aidonia, Vybz Kartel, Ninja Man, Mad Cobra, Spragga Benz, Super Cat, Josie Wales and the list goes onnnnn....All these respected artistes have placed gangsta Dancehall on a pedastal for years.
Indeed many of the music's top deejays' lyrics have glorified a bad man, gun culture, therefore if the followers of Tommy Lee and Gothic Dancehall were to plead there case using much of Dancehall's musical heritage, they could stand a really good chance of proving that they are simply following tradition....traditions of Dancehall deejays having very little respect for the sanctity of life; or a right to live in peace among other civil rights owed to us all as himans.
So how is what Tommy Lee is now performing and perpetuating any different from what these acts have perfected, yard and abroad, all the years?
Often times these same Dancehall vets say their music should not be taken literally, but then Tommy Lee has also said his music is just for promotional branding. So I guess the major question really is whether 'Gothic Dancehall' is any more or less harmful than the "gangster for life" messages?

I Did Not Keep Your Letters: An Ed Sheeran One Shot
If you are new to my blog, WELCOME. And if you're not, WELCOME BACK. I know that a lot of you are pining for some Ed action.
Let's be honest here, sex with Ed sounds good…right? You know what also sounds good? the sound of Ed reading something written about him. (even if he isn't into his own kissing description…Let's not forget he is an ass man :) )
Unfortunately, I don't have any of that for you tonight. 95% of what i write is more than surface level imaginary sex. And if you've read anything besides "Twenty Two" you'll know what i'm talking about. However, I'm not AGAINST writing mature one shots, you'll find a couple of them on the one-shot list.
But for tonight, i'm keeping it PG Rated.
I still hope you enjoy it anyways!!
IF YOU DO ENJOY IT, click the heart at the top right corner of the page and "like" the post, and send me some feedback in an ask!
I Did Not Keep Your Letters: An Ed Sheeran One Shot:
I received every letter you sent me.
I did not keep them.
I read them, and burned them.
But make no mistake,
I read them all.
Bringing up the past has no benefit. It leaves us angry, completely disheveled, caught up in justifying our actions. It drives us further apart, creating a void of "what could have been" that haunts the both of us for the rest of the present and part of the future. What makes it worse is the end result is always the same. You stay in Nashville, writing letters to me, and I stay in England, completely in love with Ed, who has his fist wrapped tightly around my heart, filling the space between my ribs, making it known that he's not going down without a fight.
"Another one," Ed tosses the plain envelope onto the table in front of me, your bright and shiny last name occupying the upper left hand corner. His voice is cold, hurt, distant
Sometimes, I'm convinced you just put your name up there to mark your territory, to drive Ed away. It never works. Yet the way Ed hands me the letters grow in anger with every one you send.
"You know," he finishes his thought, sitting down across from me, folding his arms over his chest, "You should just tell him to stop writing you letters. It's not like you respond to them…unless there's something you're not telling me"
The last part was hushed under his breath—an utterance not meant for me to hear. He didn't have to say it out loud. I could tell it was on his mind with every defensive arm cross, every disgusted facial expression when he puts the letters in front of me. I don't blame him. This isn't some kind of crush. This is my life with him. This is the life I want.
He sits there, watching me as I slide my forefinger under the seal, gently opening the letter, pulling out the folded paper inside. As I slipped the paper out, a metal object fell out of the envelope as well, landing on the table beneath it. We both stop to look at it. A small, bronze key lays on the table, the meaning only clear in the context of the letter.
I watch Ed shake his head, almost in disbelief as he gets up.
"He gives you a god damned key," his voice is loud and frustrated, "he knows you're with someone. He's doing it to piss me off, and it's working."
He slams a fist on the table, sending a shiver up my spine as I flinch at his anger. I look at him, catching nothing but rage from his glare as he stands up and walks away.
He's right. You're such a prick. I pick the key up, running my fingers over the cool grooves. I can only imagine what this key is to. Only 2 words are written on the letter. "remember this?" in bright red ink, above your phone number.
You piece of shit. I hate how you do that. Sending a key, pressuring me to remember things that I try to forget. I spend no time trying to place it in my memory. Knowing you, it's probably to the house where we met, or the apartment we almost bought, or the mailbox I used to send love letters to, before I knew any better—before I knew what love actually was. Before I knew Ed.
I pick up my phone, my fingers punching *67 before the numbers written in red into my phone, putting the receiver to my ear.
"I thought you'd never call" your voice is sweet, just the way I remember it. You're your favorite tactic, trying to make me weak with the way your words roll off your tongue, "I've been waiting all day."
"Stop sending me letters, you prick." I growl into the phone, trying to keep my anger in check by clenching my fists, "It has been over for years, okay?"
"You read them all" you reply. I can practically hear the grin on your face, "or else you wouldn't have called me."
"Stop sending them" this time I'm louder, more aggressive, "Our relationship was based on the idea that I deserved the world, without having to work for any of it. You bought me everything, because you didn't think that I could earn it. You laughed at ALL of my jokes, even when they weren't funny. Is it possible for me to bore someone so much that they just laugh out of courtesy? I hated that. I don't want any of that. I don't want you."
I practically slam my thumb onto the "end call" button, trying to hang up the conversation, and our relationship.
I throw the phone down onto the table, throwing the key and the letter into the garbage can. I pace the kitchen a few times, trying to gauge Ed's response to all of this. On one hand, he has every right to be angry with me. An ex-flame, sending me weekly letters, all of which I read. The constant gnawing thought that maybe he's not good enough constantly haunts him. On the other hand, everyone has a past. He can't hold that against me. I don't hold his past relationships against him. I don't hold her against him.
I bite the side of my thumb before making my way down the hall, into the bedroom, where Ed is laying on the bed, jotting down something in a small notebook.
"What?" He finally looks up at me, as I linger in the doorway, "Are you going to say something or just stand there all afternoon?"
"I don't respond to any of the letters" I announce to him, leaning against the door frame, "I know you think I do, but I don't."
"I don't care what you do" he condescendingly chuckles, shaking his head, focusing back on the paper in front of him.
"If I wanted to be with him, I would" I state, flatly, "I know what I want out of life, Ed. I picked you. If I wanted him, I would have no problem getting up and walking out. I'm too young to be tied down to a relationship that I don't whole-heartedly want."
His eyes don't lift off of the page, and I sigh, frustrated, turning away from him.
"Tell me what the problem is, Ed" I plead with him, "I'm not going to sit around and guess why you're pissed off. I don't want to think you're mad over something when you're not. Let's just avoid a misunderstanding and just put it all out there."
"you still read them" he stops me, as I turn around, "you still read them, and think about them, and decide against them."
"I read them because I'm afraid if I don't, I'll never understand the reason that I left." I answer him, "I read them because it reminds me of how big of a prick he is. He confesses what he thinks is love, in every letter to me. Tells me all of the things he thinks I want to hear, that he'll be waiting in Nashville, that he'll do better this time. All I have to do is leave you."
"And?" He inquires, as I take a deep breath, ready to continue.
"And I burn them so I'm not reminded of his attempts." I shrug my shoulders, exhaling, "He doesn't know what love is. You do. You don't have to write it out. Everything you do, even the smallest things, like the way you willingly hand me the letters from him, regardless of how pissed you are. That's love. You don't hide things from me, especially not anger, or love, or fear."
"I hate it" he rubs his hand over his face, in frustration, "I trust you and I love you, but it pisses me off that he can't see that. I just wish he'd stop."
"You're so strong and I know that you don't even realize it. You have my heart. You know me inside and out. You know what I like and what I hate and how to get me to smile and cry and laugh. You know my fears, my hopes and dreams, my life goals. You stick up for me even when you know I'm wrong, and you're not afraid to tell me that you're in love with me in front of everyone. You are everything to me, and most days I fear that you will never realize that." I sigh, "I know that it pisses you off."
"I'm half tempted to fly over there and kick his ass" he mutters, "fucking prick."
"I told him not to send anymore" I assure him, "if he does, I'm not going to read them. It's not fair to anyone involved."
He sets the notepad down, getting up off of the bed to close the gap between us. He envelopes me in his arms as I exhale against his chest. His hands make slow circles up and down my back.
"just stay with me, okay?" he mumbles into my hair, "just stay here, with me."
He wants it just as much as I do, and that's enough to put Nashville, and the thoughts of you behind me, forever.

- 2010
There is something touchingly old-fashioned about this attractive collection of Bach arias that feature the violin, and it has clearly been a labour of love for young violinist Hilary Hahn to draw together friends and colleagues for the project. Great moments like a duet from the cantata "Wachet auf" and a bass aria with flute and violin find Goerne and Schäfer well-matched. She is over-excitable though in "Laudamus te" from the B minor Mass (and rather shrill elsewhere); while he is superb in his St Matthew Passion aria. Hahn plays with richer vibrato than her singers but the results are always transparent.

is PAN's Staff Scientist. Follow @EmilyAtPan
New California data about pesticides in food have been getting a fair amount of attention recently. Earlier this month, the state's Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) released results from 2013 food sampling by their Pesticide Monitoring Program.
Unfortunately, DPR's conclusion that the residues they found on these latest food samples "pose no health risk" is more than a bit misleading. In fact, the trends indicated by the data are that the percentage of food samples containing pesticides has gone up over the past five years — as has the percentage of illegal residues found.
Epigenetic transgenerational inheritance. Say that again? Those three "little" words refer to environmental exposures causing genetic changes that can be passed on to future generations.
These effects appear to be transferred via modification of DNA — modifications that can sometimes increase the risk of disease. As a study released last week shows, the increased disease risk can keep showing up through multiple generations.
PAN has done a lot to spread the word about neonicotinoid pesticides and their adverse impacts on bees. But there are other repercussions for widespread use of neonics too, as an increasing number of studies highlight. Adverse impacts on wild pollinators, birds and other wildlife from neonics have also been in the news lately.
Neonics are the most widely used insecticides in the world, finding their way into ecosystems through water, soil and insects other species rely on for food. These chemicals were released onto the U.S. market without regulators fully understanding their impacts, and scientists continue to uncover more unintended consequences — from harming honey bees to song birds.
After about 20 years of RoundUp use and 15 years of widespread planting of Monsanto's RoundUp-Ready GE crops, the efficacy of this herbicide is declining. Farmers are facing "superweeds" that can no longer be tamed by glyphosate, RoundUp's active ingredient. So now what?
Unfortunately, a new generation of crops engineered to resist mixtures of herbicide are waiting in the wings. As you've heard from my colleague Dr. Marcia Ishii-Eiteman, these new GE crops are completely the wrong response to this self-inflicted crisis. Meanwhile, researchers are raising new questions about the health and environmental effects of glyphosate itself.
"There's a perception that drift happens." That's what I heard an industry rep say when I listened in on a Kaua'i County Council meeting on pesticide issues last summer (before the landmark Bill 2491 passed). A perception of drift? Really?
If you've been following our work here at PAN you already know that pesticide drift is a problem. On-the-ground data from across the country leaves no question that drift happens — and that people in rural communities are being harmed. But did you know there's more than one kind? It's true. And right now, EPA is reviewing how to best assess the risks of the "other" kind of drift: volatilization.

Released May 2013 after 2011's melding forerunner of ambient-trance-tribal-didgeridoo exploration, "Didgeridoo Vs Hang Drum", "Awakening the Lovelies" is more good fun by one of the UK's more 'out of the box' artist/author/poet/musicians..namely, Andy Duroe.
see also: The Artistry of Andy Duroe: Following his Muse
Eat Your Guru
Not only do we know Andy from his earlier work but we have to thank him for holding to his path of individual creative expression by offering himself to the daunting maze that is "finding yourself". With over two decades of traveling, surviving and flourishing as a "street musician and performer", Andy's creative life has far surpassed that of the average mere mortal. He has gone on to write and produce his own brand of music that I like to call "digee-party" music. And I love how it seams trance and tribal beats that weave and then melt into spiritual passages of indigenous-searching-heart-calls. It's these bridges that sustain the musical party to a loftier head space without compromising the pulsing beats that hypnotically carry the album.
Song by song, "Awakening the Lovelies" is an earthy joyride that awakens the senses that tickle the brain and move the body.

A GROWTH AGENDA: Four Goals for a Manufacturing Resurgence in America
This strategy is a blueprint for competitiveness that will unleash the economy and manufacturing's outsized multiplier effect. Importantly, manufacturers' aspirations—the four goals laid out in the pages that follow—are ones that all Americans who want to maintain our country's economic advantage can rally around.

Manufacturers Urge Congress to Pass Miscellaneous Tariff Bill
Legislation Will Boost Competitiveness and Support Manufacturing Jobs
Jeff Ostermayer (202-637-3090)
Washington, D.C., 12/03/12 - The National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) joined 104 businesses and business groups on a letter to congressional leaders urging the passage of the Miscellaneous Tariff Bill (MTB). The MTB is a competitiveness bill that will support and grow manufacturing jobs in the United States.
"Passing the MTB will reduce the cost of manufacturing in the United States and help manufacturers grow their businesses and improve their competitiveness in an increasingly challenging global marketplace," said NAM Vice President for International Economic Affairs Linda Dempsey. "It is currently 20 percent more expensive to manufacture in the United States compared to our major trading partners, and failure to pass the MTB will only add to those costs. Congress has the opportunity to pass a bipartisan bill that will support and create jobs and level the playing field globally for manufacturers in the United States."
Manufacturers of all sizes use the vital tariff suspensions contained in the MTB to obtain raw materials, proprietary inputs and other products that are not available domestically. Without the MTB, these companies' production costs will substantially increase, damaging their competitiveness and forcing them to pass on these higher costs to consumers. This will translate into lost jobs for American workers.

10 Reasons why The Les Mis. Movie is the most wonderful thing I have ever come across in nearly fifteen years:
1. It's a musical.
2. It is filmed live instead of actors recording the songs apart from the film.
3. It made me cry from the beginning number of "Look Down" to the last scene of "Do You Hear The People Sing?" So much that my eyes were comparable to a faucet.
4. It was casted perfectly, especially in the cases of Fantine, Jean Valjean, and Marius.
5. The songs were fitted in and executed flawlessly.
6. The sing to speak ratio practically made it an operetta.
7. The emotions portrayed were felt by many in the audience, and many were compelled to sing with the actors in songs, particularly "Do You Hear The People Sing?"
8. The characters were so dynamic and complex, and their struggles were portrayed excellently by the actors, particularly Fantine, Marius and Javert.
9. It told how a criminal can become a saint.
10. It showed how love can rise from tragedy (cheesy, I know, but true).
I hear TFiOS is going to be a movie. I am having conflicted feelings about this. Like, in a way I want to see what Hazel looks like, hear Augustus's voice see if they get his eyes the way Hazel describes them. And then there's that what if, (for there's always a what if) what if they don't get it right and then when I read the book these terrible actors's voices, faces, etc come to my mind every time. -_- Can someone really tell it the way Hazel does though? Truly?

We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
"A blend of just over 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and the balance Merlot (last year I mistakenly wrote that the balance was Cabernet Franc), the opaque ruby/purple-colored 2009 reveals notes of scorched earth/burning embers/charcoal, black currants, ripe cherries and lead pencil shavings. Full-bodied and pure with sweet tannin, this is an under-the-radar, high quality claret to drink over the next 20-25 years."

"(a 60/40 blend of cabernet sauvignon and merlot from vines averaging 40 years of age) Inky purple. Perfectly ripe but rather understated black plum and blackcurrant are complicated by floral notes of rose, gardenia and violet as well as a hint of tartar sauce. Easygoing and smooth on entry, with flamboyant ripe black fruit and Oriental spice flavors that come as a surprise following the nose. Finishes clean and long, with considerable tannic bite and a pleasant lingering flinty mineral note. This will need time to resolve its youthfully aggressive-but not drying-tannins. Terrific potential.
