There are some people who seem to have it so easy in their love lives. They always seem to have a date and they are pretty resilient to dating disappointments. So are some people lucky in love while others are unlucky?
Why do you think some individuals have better results at dating? Listen, I am the first to admit that dating can often be weird, awkward, and frustrating. It's not that way for everyone, though!
Is there such a thing as lucky or unlucky in love?
Do you believe that you have been lucky? Have you managed to avoid major injury on the dating scene?
May 14th, 2012
6:42 am
Diva, frankly I think the younger you are the bigger the dating pool. While at the same time people are marrying much later in life or the recycling (i.e. divorcees) occurs much more often. Having said that, opportunities are more available to the not so young crowd. I don't consider myself unlucky. Rather, I'm ultra selective and have zero tolerance for BS. That in and of itself will deplete opportunities. So with that being said you can find dates as easily as looking out if a window and spoting a tree (lol). From my perspective, unlucky at dates, not at all. Quality people is another conversation. Currently though I have what you'd call a keeper! I CANNOT complain
May 14th, 2012
8:52 am
Good morning.
I wouldn't necessarily feel dating has anything to do with luck. I believe you have to align yourself with the type of people you want to date. Meaning, you have to meet them on their playing field. Having a date start out simply by pure happenstance is rare, J/K.
I like to think I am resilient when it comes to dating. You have to be. Dating is a sport and some you win and some you lose, it's that simple for me.

Morning Lily.
May 14th, 2012
8:54 am
Good morning,
Topic? Um…lucky…unlucky…either way, they're all experiences. I wouldn't say that I'm sooo unlucky in love nor would I call it lucky because i'm still out here trying like everyone else. If I had to sit down and think about it, I could list postive & negative things about each situation. What I will say is that I gave what I could and dealt with each relationship the best way I knew howa the time. So if the relationship came to an end, then I feel secure in knowing I at least gave it a grand ole SlimOne try…in some cases I probably let it linger on too long before walking away.

good morning. lily – I love the look out the window and spot a tree. needed an early morning giggle. leggs – sport dating tickled me as well. you can imagine the players getting all suited up before the big game. getting their protective gear on. lol. as we mature and get better at taming/masking that green eyed monster I guess many of us have let go of the notion that so and so is lucky because they have something that we don't. we understand that sometimes you get out what you put in and sometimes you don't. we understand that life is not fair.
May 14th, 2012
9:16 am
I'm not really sure what the topic is about. What does it mean to be "lucky" in love? Lots of dates? Great relationships (which can't be entirely true if you're still looking)? You've found The One to spend the rest of your life with? No drama? I can say though that those who always "seem to have it so easy in their love lives." or who are "pretty resilient to dating disappointments." probably are quite as immune as you think. Their challenges just may not be in plain sight to you. With that said, my life is good, dating included. I take the ups and downs for what they are, learn what I can from them, and keep moving. Not sure if I'm lucky or not, but I am thankful.
May 14th, 2012
9:30 am
There's a lot of luck involved, but you improve your chances by putting yourself where the good ones are. You can't catch a marlin if you fish in a creek — or a mud puddle. All you get from the holding pond is sludge.
The good ones aren't in nightclubs; they're not even necessarily at church. They're volunteering for worthwhile causes, in orgs and clubs that represent and enhance their interests, etc. etc. Have some interests, pursue them, and chances are actually pretty good you'll meet someone with whom to share them.
In that way you can make your own luck, although there's still a lot of pure luck involved.
May 14th, 2012
9:48 am
abc – I swear I'm not trying to be contrary (though generally I'm a fairly contrary person). still, the whole "where to find a good one" thing got my attention. I thought if a soul knew where to find the good ones they could make a lot of money with the information. not knocking the volunteer group and all but when I think volunteers I also think community service hours or folks who get into volunteering in hopes of meeting someone. a lot of folks won't admit their motives but I know people who go to the gym or church or book club or wherever more in hopes of meeting someone than in working out/praising/discussing literature. I repeat last week's mantra – it's a jungle out there.
May 14th, 2012

Why do you think some individuals have better results at dating? Their sparkling personality…
"I am the first to admit that dating can often be weird, awkward, and frustrating." Frustrating maybe but weird and awkward not since the younger days. Glad to see I'm not the only one dragging my jacket this morning

Happy Belated Mothers Day to everyone!! Mommas day was good, traveled to the sticks. It was the first Mothers day without Grandma but my moms took it in stride. Good food, good laughter, gained 6 pounds on Pound cake alone.

leggs – I gots no Monday morning funnies. I think I messed up listening to tupac and 50 cent on the drive in. it sounded good in the car but now I'm at work feeling all thugged out. not a good combination.
slim – the highlight of my weekend was the 7up cake I baked yesterday morning. I knew it was going to be about it when I went to the store late Saturday night just to buy 7up.
May 14th, 2012
10:04 am
"…now I'm at work feeling all thugged out. not a good combination." – What's good about humor is you never know what makes a person laugh. I laughed at this because I can see you walking around the office all militant like bossing people around with just a glare (lol).

Morning Gang!
I had a quite lovely Mother's Day yesterday! I am SO GLAD we decided to hit Copeland's brunch the minute it opened at 9 instead of 10 like it normally runs. When we left after an enjoyable brunch – well lets just say maybe the fire marshall needed to be called! I know the wait had to be at least 2 hours! No way!
On topic – I thing there is quite a bit of luck involved in dating and finding love. I've seen people do all the "supposedly" wrong things and find love at the drop of a hat. These women find NICE men that sweep them off their feet and MARRY them! Certain men the same – complete losers find the nicest, most beautiful wives. This is all from the outside looking in, and it makes you wonder sometimes.
Then you have the folks that, again from the outside looking in, appear to have everything going for them and can't find a suitable mate, much less a date, to save their lives.
Life just is not fair. The quicker you accept that and realize that sometimes you really do have to "make" your own luck, you will become a lot more resilient to disappointments in love. It's not good to beat yourself up when things don't work out the way you want, but it's also counter-productive to feel ENTITLED as well. Your mess stinks just like everyone elses. Somebody just chose to put up with someone else's ish and not yours.

"when I think volunteers I also think community service hours"
disco — Thanks, I needed that laugh to wake my sleepy azz up…
Where's For Real? I know it's early, but there has got to be a skit in that somewhere…
May 14th, 2012
10:33 am
That volunteers/community service hours IS funny!! LOL!!
May 14th, 2012
10:36 am
Swiss/kimmie – I sometimes wonder if I'm giving the wrong impression on here. Still, I can't be the only one who knows folks who only "volunteer" as a condition of their probation/parole.
May 14th, 2012
10:43 am
disco – I think it's brilliant actually! It's not lost on me at all, but for some it might be! I know a lot of boughie folks that volunteer to be "seen". I also know some folks that have had to do their community service hours at theses SAME places where the boughie folks are vounteering! It's hilarious, cause a lot of times they are "one in the same" – didn't think I knew they HAD to do some of that "volunteering" cause it's "court-ordered"!!!
May 14th, 2012
10:50 am
No luck involved here:
People need to accept the following:
men are visual, sex driven – to attract a man, you gotta have the physical attributes he's looking for.
if you are a fatty, look for guys that are into fat chicks – stop trying to convince a brother how good of a woman you are.
women are emotional driven – to attract a woman, you gotta BE the man she's looking for, she has to "feel" that you are the right man for her.
If you are soft dude, find a woman who likes to be in control – stop trying to convince a sister to ignore her natural tendencies and feelings just to get with you.
May 14th, 2012
10:58 am
mother's day plans got rained out. just as well because i had a LOVELY time vegged on my sofa with thing 1, thing 2 and the furry kiddies. i'm blessed!
lucky? the more i hear and read about dating escapades, the more i believe i have indeed been lucky in dating and in luv. i had one bf in jhs and one in hs; each lasted over a year and treated me remarkably well. it all came down to putting out. that's where i'd eventually lose them. but i was ok with that. the splits weren't mean or messy.
then i married my hs sweetheart after dating for almost five years.
i've dated three men since my divorce; each relationship running about three years and ending amicably.
well, this third one is going to "end" in marriage.
through all that, i can recall only one one-time dinner date with a dude that i never spoke to again. but i knew going in that i wasn't interested in him, so again, i wouldn't call that an unlucky dating experience. i recall having silent crushes on guys in school, only to find out years later that they were crushing on me too. was it "unlucky" that we didn't act on it? i don't think so. i kinda liked having the heartrush from a distance. better than heartbreak, no?
anywho, i think it's actually fear that saved me from some of the dating nonsense. i shunned any and every guy that seemed "questionable" on approach. i probably shooed some real keepers, but oh well. didn't feel right at the time, and i wasn't into taking chances.
but i look at it this way, my ex ended up making my life so damn miserable that surely i EARNED my good luck!
May 14th, 2012
11:00 am
Is there such a thing as lucky or unlucky in love?
I don't think its a matter of luck but belief. I believe that what and who is ment for me is for me, so therefore, I don't stalk,trip or sulk about a dude that was not supposed to be in the picture. Some dates have turned into good friends, some fell off and some have tried to turn our encounter into a booty call…lol (empasis on tried) but when you move with your own set of rules, you can't be mad at how anything turns out. imo
May 14th, 2012
11:02 am
thanks kimmie. lol. sometimes I worry that it's just me.
mike p – tell it like it T – I- is. I think I touched on some of that when we talked about dating being competitive. I said that I only try to date in my lane. no point in trying to get the ones that aren't even checking for you. walking around like a grown A steve urkel thinking you are wearing somebody down.
May 14th, 2012
11:07 am
kimmie, i didn't even realize there was a difference between volunteering and community service until my son got himself into trouble a couple years ago. that's when i noticed that folks who are not there by choice have to hang around and get paperwork signed.
now i'm so aware whenever i VOLUNTEER ( ) somewhere not to look at people funny if they are clearly waiting patiently for the place to empty so they can line up for signatures.
May 14th, 2012
11:17 am
just whoa! @ mike's 10:50.
luv it!!
May 14th, 2012
11:19 am
I believe there is luck involved in dating. When I finally got my first real girlfriend (many years ago now), I hadn't changed my tactics; I just happened to go out with someone who was more receptive than the others.
May 14th, 2012
11:23 am
we understand that life is not fair.
disco, kimmie My mom told us this whenever we complained about something not being fair. I consider it one of the most important and useful lessons my mom ever taught me. Once you can accept that life isn't fair, then it can't hold you back.
that's when i noticed that folks who are not there by choice have to hang around and get paperwork signed.
czBrat I remember taking a class in high school that required us to do a certain number of hours of community service, and we had to get a form signed at the end of each one. I wonder if I got grouped with the probation bunch. lol
May 14th, 2012
11:24 am
And you didn't lead with your wallet, right Albert? Good.
Exactly, Shaunie. I just told a neighbor that exact thing last night.
May 14th, 2012
11:27 am
Mike P – Hey there! For the most part I agree with your post – in essence "date in your lane" like Disco said.
But some of the "odd" couples I see hooked up I wonder, which is what I kind of eluded to in my first post. Pretty doesn't just hook up with pretty. You are right, folks need to go after those that are interested in what they are selling. And if you have to "convince" someone you are a good woman or man, you've already lost coming out of the gate.
May 14th, 2012
11:32 am
That's funny — but I'm not talking about the kind of volunteering that permits things like folks on probation or the road gang. I'm talking about IT outreach, medical/hospital volunteers, working with disabled children, stuff like that. Looking for a nerd, med tech/doctor, do you have interests along those same lines? How about joining Toastmasters and meeting some executives that are honing their presentation skills — do you have interests like that? Maybe you're into mountain biking, kayaking; maybe you're into cooking; maybe art, maybe music, you get the drift, right?
You won't meet them at the store, at the gym, at church, volunteering at Good Will or the homeless shelter, nor at the club. That's what I'm talking about in terms of casting your line at the body of water that holds the fish you seek.
May 14th, 2012
11:33 am
I wonder if I got grouped with the probation bunch. lol
Dreams – That reminds me of something that happened when I was around 13 years old. My parents went on vacation and my aunt stayed in the house to look after me & my siblings. I got very sick and my aunt suspected I might have pnumonia. My pediatrician was out of town as well, so my aunt took me to the only doc she knew – an ob/gyn. I remember us being in the waiting room where there was nothing but pregnant women. I was so, so sick I could barely keep my head up. But I remember wondering if all those pregnant women were wondering if I was a pregnant teen! I felt like yelling out to all of them "Just so you know, I'm NOT pregnant"!!
May 14th, 2012
11:40 am
abc – Totally agree with your 11:32. You actually meet the greatest, most interesting people at the places mentioned in your 1st paragraph.
Let everyone else fight for those few fish in the ponds mentioned in your 2nd paragraph!
May 14th, 2012
11:41 am
I have a feeling the people that would qualify as 'lucky' in love are probably also going to score pretty well on the attractiveness scale. The rest of us sixes, fives, and lower probably have a harder time, no?
May 14th, 2012

Oh!! I forgot to mention, "Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there!"

You won't meet them at the store, at the gym, at church, volunteering at Good Will or the homeless shelter,
nor at the club.
hey! i frequent some of these places.
whether as a patron or volunteer. we are not the dregs of humanity.
lmao @ kimmie & dreams. now y'all got me flipping through memory file cards to see if i've ever been in a spot where i didn't belong. i can share this though, just this weekend a friend tagged me in a couple of pics when i was around 17. in each shot i was holding the same little baby girl. it bothered me sooo much that i might be mistaken for a teen mom that i actually posted on one pic "dang i'm so ashamed i can't remember that child's last name".
which is entirely true, but my REASON for making the comment was purely self-serving.
May 14th, 2012
11:53 am
Brat – LOL!!!
May 14th, 2012
11:56 am
@MikeP: You and others should worry more so about a well put together person. The lane for that is nonexistant. Plenty of happily paired mix-matched couples. She's extremely attractive and he's not or he's extremely attractive and she's not. I would say they traveled the intelligent lane in seeking their desired mate. In finding love, it refutes the ignorance that there's a lane for attractive versus unattractive, skinny versus fat, etc. How many disppointed people are there today heading for divorce because he or she stopped with physical attraction and married? Unfaithful, untamed, zero brain cells, to list a few. Arm candy is great. Just be certain if you join together, there's more to the sticky. If you plan to marry and stay married, I would then suggest you dig deeper in your hunt.
Aren't you the one that count and track your dating dollars, scared to spend or is that MDot? That's what happen when you date entitled people.

I spend plenty of time at the store, gym, church, Good Will and shelters too — and some of the folks I know there think they'll meet the one at those places — but they won't. Those are the ones that turn to online dating, also a venue unlikely to get positive results. I suppose some folks do fine that way, especially because they don't really meet new possibilities any other way.
May 14th, 2012
12:09 pm
okay. just for kicks. everyone please state where you met your most recent significant other. I'll go first. met my most recent at a slavery reenactment at an SC plantation. (I'm hoping I win the vote for most creative locale. lol).

Where you fish doesn't mean ish if you are a poor decision maker and no, luck has nothing to do with poor decisions. Some people will find Kiki with 4 kids by 5 dudes or Raequan with 2 kids by 3 chicks at an event for single and childless people.
If you know who you are then you will know what kind of mate you want and they can be found anywhere including the gym, at church, volunteering at Good Will or the homeless shelter, or at the club.

*as i blithely pluck the knife outta my chest* um. yeah. i don't go ANYWHERE thinking i'll meet "the one". i go to these places cuz i got things to do there.
online? yeah. that was all about having fun and meeting new people. kinda like blogging.
i guess i'm the anomaly; the good catch that found a good catch in cyberspace.
May 14th, 2012
12:16 pm
abc: "and some of the folks I know there think they'll meet the one at those places" – Don't you think this is their problem moreso than the places? Again, poor decision making if you believe you can go to any location and you will "meet the one".
May 14th, 2012
12:21 pm
I tried the online thing, stayed with one of them for 5-6 months. She was kinda psycho, but sometimes pleasant company. All the rest, maybe 10 or so, were busts. Slavery re-enactment, that sounds interesting… I study history a fair amount. Otherwise, I've met chicks of interest in theater productions I was in, orchestras I played in, college, high school, volunteering with disabled kids, attending professional events; all the rest, more than I care to admit, were party girls met on the town. Bam ma'am.
I suppose if the night life and party scene is your thing, you could meet someone of genuine interest like that. Shelters, habitat, stuff I do through church, I've always considered akin to avoidance of chicks at work: I just don't go there.

Great story Teresa! I remember seeing you on the jumbotron when you were the Lucky Fan and won the tickets. I told everyone in the chat "TG JUST WON TICKETS!! SHE WAS THE LUCKY FAN!" And lucky you were, you couldn't have been at a better game than the Spurs. It was breathtaking. Thanks for sharing!!
i remember you posting that too, Sarah! hilarious! awesome story. i'm so glad you got a chance to go to such an exciting game. love how you were trying to find madam O! it's great you had a chance to rock the RG!

Excellent story Teresa. I remember the 1st time I got the chance to sit in the 100 level. It was 4 years ago and I took my dad with me (we sat in sec 112 and they played the Clippers and won), which I'm glad I did because it was our last Blazer game we saw together as he gradually got sick and ended up passing away in Nov. of 09. I got the 100 level experience again this year with the 1/2 court shot contest I won in Jan. Even tho they lost to Miami, I still had a great time with that experience. BTW I also was in section 114 for the Heat game. Thank you for sharing.
ty blazerfan for sharing that story with me about your father that touched me very deeply! You were blessed to have shared a fantastic moment and memory with your dad before he got sick. I know how special dads are im a self described daddy's girl and my daddy was the first person to take me to ballgames as I had his love of sports and still do. my last game with my dad was my first major league baseball game to see the mariners 10 yrs ago I think it was (the last season a rod played in seaattle). my dad is too old now to enjoy games but we talk about sports still.

COMMENT: Neighbours helping Judith on a journey
8:30am Wednesday 22nd January 2014 in News
WE are constantly amazed at the spirit of children who face far more challenging lives than the majority of us.
Judith Stickings was never supposed to walk or talk, according to the doctors. They were wrong on that count and now she is able to ride her first trike.
The community has helped fundraise for the bike and we hope they can see the pay-off for their efforts.

How to describe the poetry of the Polish poet Zbigniew Herbert, who Seamus Heaney described as "a poet of exemplary ethical and artistic integrity in world literature in the 20th and 21st century… a poet whose work fulfills the classical expectation that great literature will delight and instruct," and who Robert Hass referred to as "one of the most influential European poets of the last half-century, and perhaps—even more than his [Nobel Prize winning] contemporaries Czeslaw Milosz and Wislawa Szymborska—the defining Polish poet of the post-war years," and about whom Stephen Dobyns wrote in the New York Times claiming: "In a just world Mr. Herbert would have received the Nobel Prize long ago"?
I first encountered Zbigniew Herbert in a volume called Mr. Cogito and I experienced that rare exhilaration of encountering something wise, beautiful and unlike anything I had read before. It was a detached poetic voice that was also contemplative and humorous and deeply serious and yet playful all at the same time, and its sparse and precise language moved delightfully between thought and image. By the time I went through the collection, the marginalia of my copy were all exclamatory points and Wow's of varying lengths and slants. Many of these poems have since become my ports of refuge, and one The Envoy of Mr. Cogito has grown into an anthem. However, on that first reading I dwelled longest on a much simpler poem where Herbert leads a kind of existential meditation with much lightness:
Mr. Cogito Meditates on Suffering
All attempts to remove
the so-called cup of bitterness—
by reflection
frenzied actions on behalf of homeless cats
deep breathing
one must consent
gently bend the head
not wring the hands
make use of the suffering gently moderately
like an artificial limb
without false shame
but also without unnecessary pride
do not brandish the stump
over the heads of others
don't knock with the white cane
against the windows of the well-fed
drink the essence of bitter herbs
but not to the dregs
leave carefully
a few sips for the future
but simultaneously
isolate within yourself
and if it is possible
create from the matter of suffering
a thing or a person
with it
of course
entertain it
very cautiously
like a sick child
forcing at last
with silly tricks
a faint
Translated from the Polish by John and Bogdana Carpenter
Instead of confessing to suffering or fretting about its causes, the meditation concerns itself with a gentle prescription: to accept the suffering without resigning oneself to it; to respect it without making a spectacle of it; isolate it, and engage with it with humor and play.
Reading Herbert's work for the first time felt like stepping into a new kind of earthly wisdom. Here was a very benevolent use of irony: to draw strength in hard times while at the same time not being delusional about the bleakness of the world. Here was a stoic courage: to battle a monstrous world without becoming a monster oneself, to always fight to see clearly, humanely instead of choosing between the convenient ideological blinders. On greater reflection, I realized that what enabled all these qualities in Herbert was his astonishingly brutal honesty: Go where those others went to the dark boundary/ for the golden fleece of nothingness your last prize. And yet:
beware however of unnecessary pride
keep looking at your clown's face in the mirror
repeat: I was called - weren't there better ones than I
beware of dryness of heart love the morning spring
the bird with an unknown name the winter oak
light on a wall the splendour of the sky
they don't need your warm breath
they are there to say: no one will console you
It is well worth remembering that Herbert lived through a dramatically oppressive time. He was born in 1924 in Lvov, Poland (now in Ukraine, Lviv) and was 15 when his hometown was annexed by the Soviet Union, an occupation that was followed by the Nazi takeover in 1941. When the Nazis were eventually defeated in World War II, his hometown was seized again by the Soviet Union.
Even though Herbert started writing poetry as a student in the 1940s, he was unable to publish any of his works due to censorship until 1956—"a period of fasting," he described later. His struggles living and writing in two totalitarian regimes were fundamental to shaping the concerns and subjects in his poetry.
Herbert's poems are all hard at work to free themselves from being weighed down by the world. According to Robert Hass, Herbert is "an ironist and a minimalist who writes as if it were the task of the poet, in a world full of loud lies, to say what is irreducibly true in a level voice." His poetry relentlessly searches and strategizes for the survival of what is most gentle in us without making any false promises about life or the future of the world. His poems consider the pitfalls of language, fight battles of conscience, discuss virtue, suffering, Hell, magic, upright attitudes, and report on the temptations of Spinoza—all in a manner that is unaffected and unsentimental, ironic and humorous, but categorically against despair and wary of false hope.
Perhaps the best description of Herbert's poetry is found in his own writing, albeit in his description of his aims in studying philosophy. In a letter to his mentor, the sage and independent philosopher, Henryk Elzenberg, dated November 2, 1951, Zbigniew Herbert said of philosophy—he began as a student of philosophy, economics, law and art history—what could wonderfully describe his poetry: "What I really look for in philosophy… I look for emotion. Powerful intellectual emotion, painful tensions between reality and abstraction, yet another rending, yet another, deeper than personal, cause for sorrow… I prefer to live through philosophy to brooding on it like hen. I would rather it be a fruitless struggle, a personal cause, something going against the order of life, than a profession."
Actually, it is no surprise that the best description of Herbert's poems comes from his expectations of philosophy. The search in his poems is fundamentally philosophical: he is a poet who distrusts poetry; who is painfully aware of how language gets corrupted with ideology. All his poems are attempts to arrive at clarity—even if it ultimately is only "an uncertain clarity". He wants simple and crude truth that's washed off the smoke and haze of propaganda and neat symmetries of ideological thinking. He's suspicious of romanticism and loftiness of metaphor. He wants to describe the world without 'the artificial fires of poetry'. In Herbert's world, truth exists in simple objects. A pebble was a pebble is a pebble has been a pebble:
The pebble
is a perfect creature
equal to itself
mindful of its limits
filled exactly
with a pebbly meaning
with a scent which does not remind one of anything
does not frighten anything away
does not arouse desire
its ardor and coldness
are just and full of dignity
I feel a heavy remorse
when I hold it in my hand
and its noble body
is permeated by false warmth
— Pebbles cannot be tamed
to the end they will look at us
with a calm and very clear eye
Translated from the Polish by Peter Dale Scott and Czeslaw Milosz
This philosophical quality also explains Mr. Cogito, the principal character in his work, the filter and conduit of his meditations. The character is a clear borrowing from Descartes, whose cogito ergo sum defined the epistemological search for certainty, a base that could serve as the foundation of reliable knowledge, for something that persists. But Herbert's Mr. Cogito is a clumsy character, an ordinary, even less than ordinary person, who is nonetheless sharp and clear-eyed and is trying to be honest about his experience in the world.
Herbert's search for clarity is so rigorous that he is even wary of imagination—that prized gift of the Romantics, what they held to be our Divine instrument. In a 1986 interview, Herbert remarks, "In the sphere projected by our imagination, we are always thinking that we are without limits, that our possibilities are inexhaustible, but the body is here… The body is wise." So one should trust the body then, asks the interviewer, Renata Gorczynski. "Not permit it too much, not allow it everything, but at the same time listen to it."
I Would Like To Describe
I would like to describe the simplest emotion
joy or sadness
but not as others do
reaching for shafts of rain or sun
I would like to describe a light
which is being born in me
but I know it does not resemble
any star
for it is not so bright
not so pure
and is uncertain
I would like to describe courage
without dragging behind me a dusty lion
and also anxiety
without shaking a glass full of water
to put it another way
I would give all metaphors
in return for one word
drawn out of my breast like a rib
for one word
contained within the boundaries
of my skin
but apparently this is not possible
and just to say - I love
I run around like mad
picking up handfuls of birds
and my tenderness
which after all is not made of water
asks the water for a face
and anger
different from fire
borrows from it
a loquacious tongue
so is blurred
so is blurred
in me
what white-haired gentlemen
separated once and for all
and said
this is the subject
and this is the object
we fall asleep
with one hand under our head
and with the other in a mound of planets
our feet abandon us
and taste the earth
with their tiny roots
which next morning
we tear out painfully
Translated from the Polish by Czeslaw Milosz and Peter Dale Scott
In a poet whose most formidable quality is his deeply cultivated negative capability, Herbert's morality stems from empathy, and an appreciation of the messiness and variedness of the human experience, and evil, from a simplification of the world. Many of Herbert's poems feature historical villains, dictators, autocrats and despots, but they are not the crazy mad bastards we are accustomed to imagine them. Instead, they are thinkers with firm convictions on history and human nature; many of them are revolutionaries attempting to fix humanity's maladies with ready formulas; they are people of power who consider other men's blood a fair price for their causes, and who, inevitably, derive their power from offering their people false hope.
Herbert has been well-known through the English speaking world for many years. He was blessed with a team of two fine translators, John and Bogdana Carpenter, who translated most of his early work and championed it for many years. But for some bizarre reason, their fine original translations are all out of print now and the new translations by Alissa Valles ('Zbigniew Herbert: Collected Poems –1956-1998' published by Ecco Press in a beautifully produced edition) lack the lucid precision of the Bogdana translations. But even the not-so-great translations carry the gravitas of Herbert's poetry—enough, at all events, to make the reader in English understand why Herbert is so firmly placed in the pantheon of the great poets of the twentieth century, and why his is the kind of poetry that makes for the strongest argument for literature: that without it we would not be able to know the essential truths about living in a world that constantly militates against us seeing, against us feeling, against understanding.

Mr. Cogito and the Imagination
Mr. Cogito never trusted
tricks of the imagination
the piano at the top of the Alps
played false concerts for him
he didn't appreciate labyrinths
the Sphinx filled him with loathing
he lived in a house with no basement
without mirrors or dialectics
jungles of tangled images
were not his home
he would rarely soar
on the wings of a metaphor
and then he fell like Icarus
into the embrace of the Great Mother
he adored tautologies
idem per idem
that a bird is a bird
slavery means slavery
a knife is a knife
death remains death
he loved
the flat horizon
a straight line
the gravity of the earth
Mr. Cogito will be numbered
among the species minores
he will accept indifferently the verdict
of future scholars of the letter
he used the imagination
for entirely different purposes
he wanted to make it
an instrument of compassion
he wanted to understand to the very end
—Pascal's night
—the nature of a diamond
—the melancholy of the prophets
—Achilles' wrath
—the madness of those who kill
—the dreams of Mary Stuart
—Neanderthal fear
—the despair of the last Aztecs
—Nietzsche's long death throes
—the joy of the painter of Lascaux
—the rise and fall of an oak
—the rise and fall of Rome
and so to bring the dead back to life
to preserve the covenant
Mr. Cogito's imagination
has the motion of a pendulum
it crosses with precision
from suffering to suffering
there is no place in it
for the artificial fires of poetry
he would like to remain
faithful to uncertain clarity
Translated from the Polish by John and Bogdana Carpenter

Autism Spectrum Disorders Health Center
Study: Autism May Be More Common Than Thought
May 9, 2011 - A "startling" one in 38 children has autism, South Korean and U.S. researcher find.
The estimate is far higher than CDC's estimate of one in 110 children, as the study found many school kids have mild, undiagnosed autism.
The elaborate study searched for 7- to 12-year-old children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) among 55,000 children in a community outside Seoul, South Korea. Largely funded by the advocacy organization Autism Speaks, the study was led by Young Shin Kim, MD, PhD, MPH, of Yale University.
"They came up with the startling number that one in 38 children has an autism spectrum disorder," Geraldine Dawson, PhD, chief science officer for Autism Speaks, tells WebMD. "This raises an important question for the U.S.: How many kids in the general education classroom actually have an ASD but not a diagnosis? These children may have gone under the radar."
"This means that about two-thirds of children with ASD are in the community, unrecognized and untreated. Their lives can be improved significantly with early identification and intervention," Kim said at a news conference.
The new findings do not mean that more children have suddenly come down with autism.
"It seems they have been there all along but were not counted in previous studies," Kim says.
It's the first time a large study has screened a general population for autism. Autism expert Rebecca Landa, PhD, director of the autism center at Baltimore's Kennedy Krieger Institute, tells WebMD in an email that the study methods will have to be validated by future studies. Landa was not involved in the Kim study.
Kim agrees that further studies will have to confirm the current findings. Such studies are underway in India, South Africa, Mexico, and Taiwan.
Study researcher Bennett L. Leventhal, MD, of the NYU Child Study Center, thinks the same study methods would yield similar results in the U.S.
"If researchers went into the grade schools in their communities and looked there, we think they would come up with numbers similar to those we are reporting," Leventhal said at the news conference. "This means there are uncounted children who are not in the services system."
School Kids With Undetected Autism
Who are these uncounted children? When they looked at kids already identified as special-needs children, Kim and colleagues found pretty much the same autism prevalence and the same levels of disability as seen in U.S. and European studies.
The surprise came from the undiagnosed children in the general school population. Some two-thirds of the kids diagnosed with autistic disorder, and 90% of those with other ASDs (such as pervasive developmental disorders) had average or superior intelligence.
"Historically, we thought children with autism were pretty disabled. But intellectual disability isn't the core feature of autism," Gary W. Goldstein, MD, president and CEO of the Kennedy Krieger Institute and professor of neurology and pediatrics at Johns Hopkins University, School of Medicine. Goldstein was not involved in the Kim study but does serve on the board of Autism Speaks.

In the never-ending war against our potbellies, men are fighting a pretty powerful opponent—and it''s not that overwhelming desire to dish yourself seconds at every meal, nor the underwhelming urge to get off the couch and flatten that spare tire. In the battle of the bulge, your main adversary is nature itself.
"It goes back to ancient times, when food was harder to find. Back then, our bodies adapted by storing fuel—in the form of fat cells—in the body. In men, that storage area was around the midsection. When food was scarce, your body could draw on the reserve," explains Doug Lentz, Pennsylvania state director of the National Strength and Conditioning Association and owner of the Chambersburg Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation Center in Pennsylvania.
In modern times, most men have no problem rustling up a meal or three, but we still eat—and our bodies still store excess fat—like an Ice Age was just around the corner. Consequently, Lentz says we get thicker and thicker around the middle, especially as we get older and our metabolisms slow down.
And that''s nothing to belly-laugh about. Put simply, fat can kill you. When you eat fats, they can cause plaque to build up in the walls of your arteries, cutting off blood flow to your heart and leaving you with heart disease, the single biggest killer of men. Or, if you eat beyond what your body needs, your body will store that excess fuel in the fat cells around your middle. When that spare tire inflates, it puts more pressure on your heart, which can cause high blood pressure and also lead to heart disease.

The success of online marketing is largely influenced by the quality of the contents. There are three types of content that can be used to attract customers to come to our site.
Today, to own a site for selling our products is already a necessity. Either in a form of a website or just an account in social media.
However, owning a site alone is not enough. We need to make it lively by filling it wih contents which are relevant and useful to our audience.
Speaking of contents, there are three types of contents that we can exploit in our online marketing activities. Each type has its own purpose and when done correctly, it can bring more leads, which turn into sales.
The three types are:
Persuasive Content
As the name suggests, persuasive contents are designed to woo and persuade customers, and we can usually find them in advertisements and promotional messages.
When the message is designed, packed, and delivered properly, persuasive contents can act as a powerful tool to entice potential customers' curiosity and desires.
For small and home business owners, producing persuasive contents doesn't always require a lot of investment. In fact, with creativity alone, small business owners can develop contents which are effective enough to attract potential buyers.
To know how to develop such content, you can read the 58 Ways to Create Persuasive Content Your Audience Will Love.
Educative Content
It's also known as informative content.
It's primary purpose is of educative content is to educate the audience about the products and services we offer.
The difference from persuasive content is that educative content is usually more subtle in its promotional language and gives more focus on the explanation. For example on how our product is made, why it's made, and so on.
Furthermore, educative content can also be used for things which are beyond products, but it's still related nonetheless. Like to convey values or ethics that drive a business. A good example of this is a video from Dove below:
Entertainment Content
This type of content is made to convince potential buyers by conveying messages which are entertaining. It usually uses humor and not directly promoting a product or a service.
One good example of this is a serial video made by BlendTec, Will it Blend?
The director of BlendTec claims that since this serial video becomes online, the sales of his blender has increased by 700%.
What he's done is not persuading people to buy, but more toward showing them the strength of his blender in an usual and entertaining way.
Content Development
In developing the contents, we have the liberty to decide its format and form. We can develop them independent to each other or a mix of all of them.
For example we make an educative content that entertains or an entertaining content that persuades.
Whatever it shapes, there are two questions that every content must be able to answer:
- Is it providing the solution that the customer seek?
- Is it relevant to what the needs/wants of the customer?
By answering these questions, we ensure that our contents are created, packed, and delivered to the right audience. Because we certaintly don't want to make a content which is super cool but it fails to connect with the audience and affect our sales.
In Summary
The success or failure of online marketing is largely influence by the quality of its contents.
There are three types of content that can be used to attract visitors: persuasive, educative, and entertaining contents.
Each types has its purpose and when it's designed, packed, and delivered properly, all of them can help raise the appeal of our business.
In doing so, business owners must ensure that the contents they are developing will answer two basic questions: is it providing solutions and is it relevant to the customer needs/wants?
Because at the end of the day, even a super cool content becomes pointless if it's failed to connect to the audience and not helping increase our sales.

Protocol #: H8A-MC-LZAX
Principal Investigator: Oleg V. Tcheremissine, MD
Coordinators: Dineen Gardner - 704-446-7511 & Megan Kramer - 704-446-0803
The purpose of this study is to help determine the safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug, solanezumab. "Investigational" means the study drug is currently being tested. It is has not been approved for routine clinical use nor for the use described in this study by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). However, the FDA has allowed the use of this drug for research.
Researchers want to determine if solanezumab will slow mental and functional decline in individuals with mild Alzheimer's.
Protocol #: HUD #10-0242
Principal Investigator: Benjamin Brooks, MD
Coordinator: Cynthia Lary - 704-446-6063
This study is being done to find out if the NeuRx® Diaphragm Pacing System™ (DPS) will improve breathing function or prolong life span in people with ALS. The study also aims to compare measures of diaphragm function, dyspnea and quality of life between the standard of care group and DPS group.
Study participants must be at least 21. They will be randomized into one of two groups. One group (two-thirds of participants) will receive the DPS, and the other group (one-third of participants) will receive standard medical care for ALS. Participants receiving standard medical care will be the "control" group in order to tell whether the effects seen are truly from the DPS.
The study sponsors are the Muscular Dystrophy Association and the ALS Association.
Protocol #: NA_00022650
The purpose of this study is to see whether one type of exercise is tolerated better and is safer than another for people with ALS. Researchers also will collect information about how the body responds to exercise in people with ALS.
In this study, participants exercise in one of three ways: 1) weightlifting (resistance exercise); 2) stationary bicycling (endurance exercise) and; 3) range of motion/stretching exercise (the current "standard of care" for ALS patients). If resistance, endurance or range of motion exercise is shown to be well-tolerated and safe over 24 weeks, a larger trial will be planned to determining if exercise is beneficial to patients with ALS.
Protocol #: None
Coordinator: Rita Rouse - 704-446-1902
Researchers will collect a variety of information from participants' medical records. That information includes ZIP code, gender, date of birth, month/year of ALS symptom onset, the month/year of permanent ventilation, and other pertinent data. This information will be entered into a database located at the study coordinating center, Washington University in St. Louis, MO. There are no clinic visits in this trial.
The study has two goals: 1. to collect survival data on every eligible subject and the rate of disease progression where available in order to define the natural history of familial ALS; 2. to determine if the natural history of SOD1 is different for certain areas of the US United States and Canada and determine if there are clusters of subjects in certain regions, which would provide guidance for future clinical trial site selection.
This is a study for children and adults who have been diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), or Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). The study is an ongoing data collection effort sponsored by the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA), known as the Patient Registry. The Patient Registry is designed to collect data – via a battery of questionnaires based on previous clinical assessments and patients' own responses – on individuals with neuromuscular disease. Researchers want to better understand the disease progression and ultimately improve the care and survival of those with neuromuscular disease.
Subjects' participation is expected to last for the duration of the study, which is continuous.
Protocol #: 12-AVR-401
Principal Investigator: Urvi Desai, MD
Protocol #: Pr00011196
Principal Investigator: Jill Conway, MD
Coordinator: Bridget Loven - 704-446-1987
Protocol #: 109MS412
Coordinator: Megan Kramer – 704-446-0803
The study will be conducted as a retrospective, observational study of patients with RRMS transitioning treatment from Tysabri to Tecfidera in routine clinical practice.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate relapse activity, as measured by the proportion of patients relapsed at 12 months. The secondary objective is to further evaluate relapse activity, defined as Annual Relapse Rate (ARR), hospitalization and intravenous corticosteroid use, during the first year of Tecfidera treatment following transition from Tysabri treatment.
Approximately 500-700 patients are planned to be included in the study. There will be no dispensing of any study medication as part of this study.
Protocol #: CBAF312A2304
Coordinator: Maryanne Burdette - 704-446-1925
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of BAF312 compared to placebo (a substance that looks like BAF312 but does not contain any active ingredient) in people with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS). Subjects will take BAF312 or placebo once daily by mouth, as a tablet.
Approximately 8-10 people involved in this research study at CHS, and their participation will last for 23 to 42 months, but no more than 60 months. About 1,530 subjects with SPMS will join this study at approximately 250 to 300 centers worldwide.
Principal Investigator: Jason W. Todd, MD
Coordinators: Megan Kramer - 704-446-0803
The purpose of this study, sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), is to evaluate the recovery of participants who have had a hemorrhagic stroke – a kind of bleeding in the brain – and receive drug therapy along with minimally invasive surgery.
The drug being investigated is rt-PA (recombinant tissue plasminogen activator), a medication approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat for dissolving blood clots in the heart and brain. It is not approved for use in hemorrhagic stroke, and the FDA is allowing the use of rt-PA in this study
This 500-subject clinical trial also compares the recovery of patients who receive rt-PA and surgery to the recovery of participants who receive standard medical care – that is, no surgery and no investigational drug.
Protocol #: 2012-00
Protocol # 2306E1
Coordinator: Joyce Pitner – 704-446-1349
This is the extension phase of the original FTY720-2306 study. The main purpose of this extension study is to continue to evaluate how safe and well tolerated the drug fingolimod is over the long-term in patients with PPMS who previously participated in the INFORMS core study. Other purposes are to evaluate efficacy of fingolimod over the long-term.
This study is open only to patients who participated in and completed the original study.
Protocol #: 13098A
Principal Investigator: Bruce Mayes, MD
Protocol #: CHS1-11-279
Coordinator: Megan Kramer - 704-446-0803
Protocol #: CHS1-11-353
Coordinator: Cynthia Lary, 704-446-6063
Protocol #: 06-11-11E
Principal Investigator: Sanjay Iyer, MD
Protocol #: CHS1-10-224
Principal Investigator: Sanjay Iyengar, MD
Protocol #: CHS1-11-374
Coordinator: Joyce Pitner - 704-446-1349
Protocol #: MN-166-ALS-1201
The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and effectiveness of the investigational drug, ibudilast, when administered as an adjunct to riluzole in people with ALS.
Sixty subjects from 18 to 80 years old will be enrolled. Participants will be randomized (like flipping a coin) into 1 of 2 groups: group 1 will receive ibudilast with riluzole; group 2 will receive placebo (which looks like the ibudilast table, but has no active ingredients) with riluzole. This part of the study is called "double blind," meaning neither the study staff nor the study patients will know which group the participants are in.
After completing the double-blind phase, subjects randomized to the placebo arm will begin to receive ibudilast for an additional 6 months so that researchers can further evaluate the drug's safety and tolerability. If researchers find no concerns, they will decide whether to extend participation to the ibudilast-treated group for an additional six months.
Protocol #: ECU-MG-301
Principal Investigator: Elena Bravver, MD
The purpose of this study is to determine if a drug called eculizumab is safe and effective for the treatment of patients with refractory generalized myasthenia gravis (MG). MG is a rare and chronic neuromuscular disorder characterized by symptoms of weakness and muscle fatigue. Eculizumab is a type of drug called a "biologic," meaning it comes from a living source (such as humans or animals). It has been approved to treat certain rare diseases, but is not approved for the treatment of MG; therefore, it is considered to be experimental for use in patients with MG.
Study subjects will be randomized into one of two groups: one group will receive eculizumab and the other placebo. During the 26-week period, patients will be infused with 10 mg of either the study drug or placebo; then a visit every 2 weeks for a total of 16 visits.
Protocol #: N01394
Dr. Bruce Mayes is leading a research study at CMC-Neurology to measure the effectiveness and safety of the drug, brivaracetam (BVR), compared to phenytoin (also known as Dilantin®) in individuals who have non-convulsive electrographic seizures (NCES). NCES can only be detected by monitoring the activity of the brain. Brivaracetam is chemically similar to the drug, levetiracetam (the antiepileptic medication marketed as Keppra, which is already approved and available to buy). Researchers believe BVR may be more effective than levetiracetam in controlling the number of abnormal electrical signals released in the brain that can cause a seizure.
BVR is an investigational (new) drug that has not been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or any other drug regulatory agency except for the use in this study and other studies. To date over 2,300 patients have received BVR in clinical trials. Phenytoin is an FDA-approved treatment and is commonly used to treat patients who experience NCES.

I applied online and received an email from an HR recruiter within a few weeks. She scheduled a 15 minute phone interview which was an initial check to make sure that I qualified for the position. After this call, she scheduled another one hour phone interview with a different person from HR. This interview consisted of four behavioral questions where I had to list three main events that occurred within each answer. The three main events threw me off a bit but the interviewer was really nice and helped me out. The final interview was in the Houston office and consisted of a one hour presentation about Accenture with a Q&A session, tour and two 30-45 minute behavioral interviews with two different managers. During this final interview, we were asked to rank cities with Accenture offices we preferred to work in. I ranked Houston, Austin and San Francisco as my top three. I received an offer in the San Francisco office about a week later and accepted the offer. Looking back, I am happy that I accepted in offer in San Francisco instead of Houston or Austin because the clients in the bay area are much more aligned with my interests.Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsThe offer exceeded my expectations so I did not negotiate. The cost of living is higher on the west coast so my offer was greater than my salary in Houston at the time.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview

I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks - interviewed at Accenture in September 2013.Interview Details
The interview was in three stages:
1- A short, 15-minute phone interview with a recruiter who asked me basic questions about my school, GPA, etc. She told me where I would be working and all about the interview process. She was super nice and very helpful.
2- A 45-minute behavioral interview with a different recruiter. He asked me basic behavioral questions such as - When was a time that you had to convince someone to do something? - Have you ever had a difficult situation that you needed to resolve? -
3- An onsite visit that consisted of a 45-minute presentation about the company and its benefits, followed by two 45-minute 1:1 behavioral interviews with senior management. The presentation was by three analysts who were laid-back and nice. The first interviewer was laid-back and it was more like a conversation. Just know your resume really well. The second interviewer was a little more intense, but it was still more of a conversation than an interview. Make sure you know your resume! He asked about C++, which I hadn't taken in 2 years.
The overall experience was really laid-back and easy. Just be personable and smile.Interview Questions

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4+ weeks - interviewed at Accenture in November 2012.Interview Details
I approached the Accenture booth at the 2012 SWE conference and got an informal 1st round interview the next day, the 2nd day of the conference. This consisted of a recruiter asking me what I knew about an Analyst's role. I didn't prepare much for this, it was very informal.
2nd round: I received an email two weeks later telling me I had been selected for a phone interview, which I scheduled for a couple days later. This, I had heard, was the make-or-break interview. It was 30 minutes of behavioral questions; it's a good idea to give detailed and relevant answers. Prepare for this portion and it should go smoothly.
3rd round: I was scheduled for a Houston office visit a couple of days later. They will pay for airfare and hotel. This lasted 3 hours. There were a few other college candidates there like myself. We were all given a 1.5 hr presentation together which outlined our role and what it's like to work there. After that, there were two 45-min interview with two different managers. These were extremely informal. I answered a question or two but they were more or less conversations about what it's like to work there. I asked a lot of questions because I was genuinely curious. Interviewed on Friday and got the offer on Monday.Interview Questions

Accenture hosted a number of networking events at which they introduced current Consultants and explained the company culture. They keep track of attendance at these events so it's crucial to attend. I submitted my resume and they invited me to a first-round interview. I had to separate, roughly hour-long case interviews.

The first interview was a standard phone interview from an HR rep. Pretty basic "tell me about yourself and why you're interested in the company" stuff, just to make sure you're capable of basic human interaction. The second interview was also a phone interview but it was a case interview with a manager in the company. For the third round, they flew me out to the office location I was interviewing for. There were about 5 other candidates, and it started with a presentation about the company. Then we split up and each did 3 one on one case interviews with people in the company ranging from manager to senior executive. We flew home on the same day. I recommend studying up on business cases as the whole point of their interview process is to determine whether you can think critically and present logical, strategic solutions to the case they present you with. Don't be afraid to take your time, use a structured approach and bring graph paper in case you want to draw them some kind of visual.Interview Questions

5 ways to save cash before 2014
Move quickly, and you can save yourself some money -- and grief -- after you replace all the calendars.
The day after Christmas means a lot of different things to a lot of different people -- obligatory gift returns, post-Christmas sales, pouring the last of the eggnog in your coffee, an end to holiday music in public spaces and on public airwaves. But it also means that 2014 is knocking on the door -- as are those dreaded holiday shopping credit card bills.
If your budget is feeling as stretched as your girth after a seemingly unending string of holiday parties, you don't have to ask family and friends to return their gifts. Instead, there are five things you can do between now and when you watch that ball drop on New Year's Eve that will save you money.
1. Make those post-Christmas returns promptly
Gone are the days when you could return any unwanted gift for cash if you just kept the tags on and maybe returned with a receipt. Instead, some retailers now only offer store credit if the purchase is more than 14 days old; and, if you don't have the receipt, you'll get back the lowest price their computers know they've ever charged for it. So if you are making returns (for yourself or others), do it promptly so that you get the full value in cash of what you paid for.
2. Clean your closets for a good cause
If your family is anything like mine, the gifts you guys just received from family and friends probably exceeded what little unoccupied space you had to fit it in (especially if you have a young child). So while you're making space this weekend, take your gently-used clothing, household items -- even toys -- and donate them to your favorite local charity before Ryan Seacrest and his slightly frozen friends start screaming "Happy New Year" from Times Square. That way, when you do your taxes early next year, you'll be able to take a deduction for it almost immediately, as opposed to having to wait until April 2015.
3. Let the 'season of giving' last a little longer
Although you might've had a lovely holiday, there are millions of people throughout the world who didn't, and could use your help. Plus, contributions to a qualified charity are tax-deductible. So scope out your budget and, if you can, make your donations before the end of the year so that you can take a deduction before 2015.
4. Make any big purchases now
After all that holiday shopping, it's easy to feel either a sense of fatigue with conspicuous consumption or concern about your finances -- or both. But if you know you're going to need to buy a new car soon (or you just have to have that new MacBook Pro), signing on the dotted line before the sun sets on 2013 means that you would qualify to deduct the sales taxes on your tax returns next year -- a little tax break that expires when the year does.
5. Check your credit card, bank statements and credit reports now
Since you're already on your computer, (but only if you're on a secure connection, please), open a new tab in your browser and review your online bank and credit card accounts to make absolutely sure that all charges you see are actually ones you made. If they're not, timely reports to your financial institutions can save you time and money.
Then check your credit reports, available free once a year at AnnualCreditReport.com, and make sure they are accurate, as well. If they contain either inaccurate or incomplete information, contact the three major national credit reporting bureaus (Experian, Equifax and Trans Union) immediately and start their dispute resolution processes. Clearing up your credit reports will help your credit score and save you money in the long run. If you want to monitor your credit more regularly, you can use Credit.com's free Credit Report Card for a breakdown, updated monthly, of the information in your credit report along with free credit scores.
Saving money isn't always about the latte you give up or the coupon you use: it's about planning ahead, timing your spending and making sure that you're making decisions about your finances rather than letting things "just happen" to them. But why are you still reading? You've only got a few days left in 2013 to create a difference for yourself in 2014!

druggedtina replied to your photo: Finished!
Can you post how to do this?!
I googled it before I did it. The method I used was to fill a bucket with some bleach and had the bottoms of the shirts in the bleach. Then like every 10 minutes or so I added a few cups of hot water. Once they got to a place that I was happy with, I rinsed them out in the tub and then put them through the wash.
Next time I think I'm going to wet them first. Also, do it outside if you can. My whole apartment reeked of bleach and my roommate was not too pleased.

SPOKANE, Wash. -- New court documents released Thursday confirmed that accused killer Timothy Suckow was promised $20,000 to kill Doug Carlile. The information came from an anonymous co-conspirator.

The co-conspirator talked with investigators earlier this month. The source told authorities James Henrikson was angry with Carlile, referring to him as "the troll." Documents said he claimed Henrikson wanted Carlile hurt back in October.

The co-conspirator admitted in court documents that he contacted Suckow and told him Henrikson would pay $20,000 for the hit. The co-conspirator then claimed he saw Henrikson send a picture of Carlile and his home to Suckow.

The co-conspirator further told investigators he received a text from Suckow just after Carlile's murder that said, "Tell the boss to watch the news." Investigators said cell records appeared to back that up.
The documents go on to say Henrikson was adamant that this be a "clean job." Henrikson has not been charged with the murder. Suckow reportedly never received payment for the hit.
Suckow was arrested in January for the December shooting death of Carlile. Officers found 63-year-old Carlile shot to death in his home near 25th and Garfield on December 15.

Hey again! I was wondering what artists you're into or draw inspiration from? I was creeping your work and saw your found chair and the concrete and I just thought it was so kick ass.
