The Globe and Mail's managing editor is a woman of mystery. Her friends say she's warm and funny. Her critics, particularly those who quit the paper on bad terms, say she's downright nasty
Just after 9 a.m. on a cool autumn morning,
Margaret Wente is greeted by the familiar sounds of The
Globe and Mail newsroom. Reporters are checking phone
messages, placing early calls and scanning the news wire to see
what's happened overnight. Some are chatting and leaning against
a wall that displays seven clocks telling the time in Los
Angeles, London, New Delhi, Jerusalem, Moscow, Beijing and
Berlin. Wente surveys the sea of desks as she makes her way to
her office in the Report on Business section.
could have prepared her for this.
Some reporters are
wearing white buttons with "Weak and Hopeless" printed in big
black letters. They're reacting to one of Wente's memos-now known
as the Weak and Hopeless memo-which was mysteriously leaked to
the newsroom. A month earlier, William Thorsell, the
Globe's editor-in-chief, had asked Wente to
jot down what she thought was wrong with the paper's A-section,
to which she'd responded: "The Toronto-based national news team
is in exactly the same situation that ROB was in 1994. It is
starved for good reporters. Key beats are uncovered. Other key
beats are staffed with hopeless people.... No amount of clever
editing or packaging will fix that. The only fix is to hire some
top young reporters.... No amount of remedial training, rework,
or memo-writing will compensate for a basically weak staff."
A year and a half later, her reputation is still
suffering. Even before the memo made the rounds, many
Globe reporters felt that Wente was difficult
to work with. She's often described as blunt and distant. As
managing editor of the Globe, she's renowned
for her impenetrable vision of the paper. As an editor of other
people's work, she is highly skilled if not gentle. She expects
the same level of professionalism from her colleagues that she
demands of herself. She has no time for hand-holding or stroking
reporters' egos. This is a woman who believes in hard work, not
flattery. Colleagues who've known her for years say they still
can't read her thoughts or predict her next move. She will admit
to being painfully shy but says little else about
herself-especially to her staff. Which, of course, builds
suspicion and paranoia. In an industry that attracts more than
its share of suspicious and paranoid types, Wente's reticence can
cause problems. As shocked as she might have been that morning,
faced with a newsroom of "Weak and Hopeless" reporters, Wente
remained silent as her eyes fixed on the white buttons.
It's last October, and I'm visiting the
Globe while its newsroom is being renovated.
The ceiling has been removed, and wires dangle above reporters'
heads. The lighting is dim. A plastic tarp separates the staff
from construction. I'm waiting for Wente in her small office on
the edge of the newsroom. It's unassuming and sparsely
decorated-a map of Toronto on one wall and a bulletin board with
a Kim Campbell button on another. The only personal touch-a dream
catcher hanging on the back of her door-seems somehow
uncharacteristic. I'm sitting in one of two green upholstered
chairs when Wente walks in. We're ready to start the interview,
but the whirring of drills invades our conversation, and we
decide to move upstairs to the new Report on Business section.
The office we borrow has freshly painted walls, new
leather chairs and polished furniture. Everything smells as if
it's just been unwrapped from its plastic. We're discussing her
job as ME. I ask about her day-to-day experiences in an executive
position. There is a long pause-she's famous for them. She leans
back, bites into a bagel and looks to the side. Finally, she says
she doesn't consider herself an executive; she is a working
editor who sits near the reporters in the newsroom, not in a big
corner office upstairs. She says the kick in her work is the
creative part, it's putting the paper out. In fact, she feels
sorry for executives who are removed from the creative work. They
can't feel or taste or do anything. For them, work is simply
manipulating numbers, which, if she thinks about it, is quite the
opposite of what she does. She laughs at this thought.
The A-section is a direct reflection of her work. Her
daily goal is to make the front page dramatic and vibrant.
Working with a team of senior editors, she decides which stories
should be placed above the paper's fold-attracting readers to
newspaper boxes-and how these stories should be developed. She
also helps choose the Globe cover photo. "We
try to find something with good human values that's going to have
an impact on the page," she explains, adding that she thinks the
Globe's photos are more effective in colour.
Last Christmas she decided to run a cover photo of the National
Ballet's Sugarplum Fairies, who were practising for The
Nutcracker. "Some of the men said, 'It's not a news photo, it's
just a piece of eye candy.' And I said, 'It's a beautiful piece
of eye candy.'"
Those kinds of choices have become more
crucial with new competition on the market. Wente admits the
Globe has made some changes since the
National Post's launch. Using skyboxes under
the masthead to promote the contents of each issue is an example,
something the staid Globe never would have
considered a few years ago.
What does she think of the
Post so far? Too much feature material for
readers who "don't have time in the morning to wallow around in
the long stuff." And too much ink on inconsequential stories. But
"they're going after women hot and heavy.... I think it's smart
of them. The Globe and Mail's front section
has never been known for its female friendliness." The
competition has encouraged the Globe to
diversify its news coverage "without detracting from our
essential seriousness and purpose." If the
Post excels in one area of coverage, the
Globe tries to leap ahead in other areas. "In
that respect," she says, "it's a good old-fashioned newspaper
war. And it's certainly true that life will never be the same for
us. But I'm not losing sleep...yet!"
Since the threat
of the new daily, the Globe has been
tightening expense control. A September memo issued by Earle
Gill, the Globe's executive editor, informed
staff that the new design and transition to colour printing were
more costly than originally anticipated. According to the memo,
"All spending on meals and entertainment is frozen unless
authorized in advance by a department head. All staff travel must
be kept to an absolute minimum.... All overtime must be approved
in advance.... Taxis are to be used only for work-related
purposes when required and...the Globe must be
reimbursed for personal calls made or received on company cell
The cost-cutting has deflated working
relationships and heightened fear of the
Globe's uncertain future. The
Post "has money for cakes and parties and a
whole bunch of other bullshit," complains one senior reporter. "A
thrashing machine has gone through this newsroom." Wente's
managerial style does little to alleviate reporters' anxieties.
Chicago, 1953. Three-year-old Peggy Wente has taught
herself to read. A year later, she and her baby brother, James,
get a new sister, Sally. When Sally's old enough, Peggy reads to
her at night. "My youngest child cannot even remember me reading
her a bedtime story," says Wente's mother, Barbara McNeill, a
retired pharmaceutical executive. She is telling me how, in some
ways, her eldest daughter hasn't changed much since she was a
little girl. She's always been reflective and responsible. By the
age of five, she says, Peggy was reading many of the children's
classics, including The Enchanted Garden, the
Little House on the Prairie series and
The Little Princess, which was her favourite.
Learning, she discovered, was as limitless as her imagination.
When Peggy skipped Grade 2, the principal at her school warned
McNeill that it could be traumatic, that Peggy would probably
have trouble catching up to the older students. "I was all
prepared for tears and disappointment," McNeill recalls. "It took
about a month and then she was top of the class again and we
never looked back."
Emotionally, she blended in well
with the older girls. But physically, she stopped growing at 10.
"She was exactly the same size [5 feet 4 inches] and shape she is
now," her mother says. "That makes one feel socially rather
inept. She was very self-conscious about it."
When her
parents separated, she moved with her mother and siblings to
Toronto, leaving her father in Chicago. She is still close to her
dad, seeing him when she can. At 14, being the new kid at school,
Wente struggled with where she belonged. For one year, she
attended Victoria Park Secondary School. "Peggy was never doing
any homework, but bringing home high 80s," her mother remembers,
"and I thought this is for the birds. So we sent her to Bishop
After grades 11 and 12 at the private girls'
school, she left to study English at the University of Michigan.
"It was the late '60s, a lot of fun," Wente says. "People were
marching, demonstrating, occupying the admin building." When
asked where she fit into this age of social protest, she laughs:
"I was a voyeur demonstrator."
She returned to Toronto
to do her MA in English at the University of Toronto and took a
course with Robertson Davies. There was only a handful of
students, and they would sit in Davies's study, listening to his
sentimental Victorian tales. For a break, the "maid" would serve
them tea from an ornate silver service.
Davies's class
ignited in Wente a passion for literature. But her taste of grad
school persuaded her that she didn't have a strong enough calling
to survive the long, dreary road of the doctorate student. "I had
absolutely no idea what I wanted to do. I didn't think of
journalism. I thought I was way too timid to be a reporter." As a
compromise between the academic and commercial world, she tried
book publishing. "I thought it might be quite genteel and I'd be
able to work with words." But as a publicist for Doubleday, she
encountered authors who were nothing like what she'd imagined. "I
mostly remember meeting them and going, Uh! Those are authors?"
She rolls her eyes. "My God! They're so scruffy and
In 1974 she left Doubleday to become
associate editor of the Royal Ontario Museum's magazine,
Rotunda. Within two years she was editor.
After a couple of years there, she decided to move into
mainstream magazines, and copy edited at the now-defunct
Canadian magazine.
journalism was thriving in the late '70s, so Wente simply went
where the jobs were: Canadian Business, as an
associate editor, and then editor; CBC-TV's
Venture, her first and last foray into
broadcasting; Report on Business Magazine as
editor; and, finally, the Globe's ROB section,
where she stayed until the winter of '97, when she was appointed
news director.
The managing editor of the paper, John
Cruickshank, had recently resigned to become editor of
The Vancouver Sun. Although deputy editor
Colin MacKenzie was in line for the job, Globe
management held a nine-month search for a new ME. Many reporters
were outraged; they signed a petition supporting MacKenzie. He
was ultimately appointed, but Thorsell was attempting to redesign
the A-section at the time, and he felt it was changing too slowly
under MacKenzie's direction. He asked Wente what she'd do to
liven things up. Her response: the Weak and Hopeless memo.
Thorsell liked her thinking.
By January of 1998,
MacKenzie was gone and Wente was promoted to ME. The staff may
have agreed with some of the suggestions in her now-infamous
memo, though they were probably too insulted to admit it. Many
also believed that MacKenzie wasn't improving the A-section
quickly enough. But he was respected and well liked in the
newsroom, and his supporters felt he was squeezed out. In other
words, it wasn't an easy position for Wente to inherit. After a
year and a half in her new job, Wente's relationship with many of
her co-workers is as it's always been: cool and impersonal.
On another October afternoon-still no sign of winter-I
return to the Globe to talk with Sarah
Murdoch, associate editor in charge of the paper's opinion pieces
and a friend and colleague of Wente's for the past 15 years. She
greets me in the lobby, and we make our way to her slick new
office in the ROB section. Each decorated cubicle I pass tells
something about its occupant: an "I am Canadian" poster, a
Clinton rubber doll with lipstick on its cheek, a life preserver.
Murdoch tells me she thinks Wente is succeeding with
the redesign of the A-section. The hard-news stories are shorter
and livelier. But in the A-section, the pendulum between news and
gossip swings back and forth. "I think when she first became
managing editor she maybe went too far in one direction to be
popular," Murdoch says, "putting Leonardo DiCaprio on the front
page or being a little bit too showbizzy." Since then, though,
she feels Wente has found the right balance. At least one
Globe veteran reporter doesn't agree. "She's
turned on by Clinton on a day when APEC is breaking in Canada,"
he told me. During the Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinsky saga, Wente
would continually scan the wire for the latest details.
When I mention this to Murdoch, she points out that the APEC
story is complex-the protest happened a year before the media got
involved. While the Clinton scandal was on everybody's minds, no
one was certain where the APEC story was going. She says the talk
in the newsroom reminds her of the trouble Tina Brown faced when
she became editor of The New Yorker. "There
were people who liked the old New Yorker and
thought Tina was destroying it. And people who thought, Yes, it's
a bit glitzier than it's ever been, but it's much more
interesting." Trying to mix serious and respectable with sexy and
fun is a challenge, she says-it doesn't happen overnight.
But even the people who acknowledge Wente is doing a
good job keep coming back to her distant character. Martin
Mittelstaedt, the vice-chair of the Globe's
union, the Communications, Energy and Paper Workers Union of
Canada, has worked at the paper for 18 years and is currently
covering environmental news. He says people are frustrated with
an unapproachable managing editor. "There's a general feeling
that she is aloof. There is a feeling that she is a good editor
and is knowledgeable about stylistic issues, but is very
difficult to deal with on a personal basis." As a representative
of the paper's editorial, circulation, maintenance and
advertising staff, Mittelstaedt acts as his colleagues' sounding
Personally, he's had only one run-in with Wente.
Last fall she was planning to release a memo in violation of the
Globe's contract with the union. Management is
supposed to post job openings before hiring new staff. Instead of
going through the proper channels, the senior staff were planning
to simply announce that they had selected people for the jobs.
Mittelstaedt wouldn't allow it. So there was a competition that
he says was largely a sham. In the end, the people who were named
to the positions were the ones who had already been chosen. "Look
at my situation," says Mittelstaedt. "She was going to put out a
letter that shows she didn't give a damn about the agreement the
company signed with the union, which basically means the deal
they signed with the staff. That suggests to me somebody with a
personal touch that is wanting."
Kimberley Noble, a
national business correspondent for Maclean's,
worked with Wente for a decade at both Report on
Business Magazine and the ROB section. She says Wente
hasn't discovered that different people need to be dealt with in
different ways. Yes, there are some who respond positively to
harsh criticism, but there are others who need reassurance, an
occasional pat on the back. In 1994, according to Noble, the ROB
section was badly understaffed and several editors were venting
their frustration at the reporters. Noble remembers arguing with
one editor "to the point where I was jumping up and down yelling
'Fuck off! Fuck off!' Peggy hauled me into her office the next
day and essentially told me to get stress counselling." By the
end of the year these editors were squeezed out, but Wente never
discussed it with Noble. "It's not like I would have expected an
apology, but it was never acknowledged that the working
conditions were just terrible. She told me I was too hard on my
Despite their difficulties, Noble stresses
that Wente is a superb editor. She feels she produced some of her
best stories while working under her. But to this day, Noble
remains affected by her former boss: "Peggy earned my respect; I
guess the most painful thing is that I thought I had earned hers
also." Wente, she says, has always reminded her of Holly Hunter's
character in Broadcast News. In one scene,
Hunter, a senior producer for a television news program,
disagrees with a decision made by the network's president.
They're at a work party, and she asks to speak with him in the
backyard, away from the other guests. She tells him that it's her
responsibility to offer her view on the situation. He listens and
nods, saying, "Okay. That's your opinion."
"It's not an
opinion," she replies, her eyes fastened to his.
"You're just absolutely right, and I'm absolutely wrong?" he
asks. She nods.
"It must be nice to always believe you
know better, to always think you're the smartest person in the
"No," she says. "It's awful."
the professional, Wente doesn't want to be viewed as the gentle
female editor who is absorbed in her colleagues' personal
problems. She doesn't want to appear emotionally affected by her
work. She spent much of her editorial career catering to the
business needs of men and still presents the news to a
predominantly male readership. Maybe her stubbornness is a
reaction to being one of the few female senior newspaper editors
in the country. Although she feels her gender is rarely an
obstacle today, every so often she'll attend a managerial meeting
where she is the only woman. "It feels terrible," she says. "You
look around, and you say, Oh my God, the world hasn't changed
very much."
Born in 1950, she was among the second
generation of working women and feels she benefited from what the
first wave had already accomplished. Women, she acknowledges, are
still, in the main, absent from the top echelons of the big
companies, but it's often their choice. To climb the corporate
ladder you need to be single-minded, dedicated, highly
ambitious-characteristics that usually favour the male lifestyle.
"The trade-offs for women doing that are much greater than the
trade-offs for men. A lot of women start to climb up there-I've
seen this over and over again-and at some point they say, Hey,
this is no fun. I'm just taking a lot of shit. I've given up my
whole life for it and it's very unpleasant. It's not worth it.
And they bail. Good for them."
At a meeting five years
ago, a group of Globe editors decided they
needed more women's voices in the paper. Wente said they should
look for a columnist who wasn't an ideological feminist but who
could turn a steady gaze on the world. Someone suggested her, and
she wrote the column for the next four years. She offered an
honest, compelling commentary on issues ranging from anorexia to
pay equity.
In a 1997 column entitled "Why I'll Never
Be CEO," Wente paralleled the male CEO of Coca-Cola with the
woman responsible for Pepsi's North American beverage business.
Both Douglas Ivester and Brenda Barnes had lives marked by
constant travel and separation from their families. But Ivester
enjoys his work, and Barnes, after 22 years, finally quit. "Human
males are aggressive, hierarchical and territorial," Wente wrote.
"That so many of them channel their energies into selling Coke
instead of bashing each other over the head with clubs is a
remarkable testimony to the progress of civilization. Human
females have other strengths. They know, for example, that Coke
isn't it. They know that channelling all your life's energies
into selling sweetened fizzy water is, on some level, ludicrous."
It's a long way from Wente's single-gal-in-the-'80s
column for The Toronto Star. A 1984 piece
called "Toothbrush Says a Mouthful About Amorous Intentions"
examines a dating predicament: is it presumptuous to carry your
toothbrush in your purse? "What if he overhears you the next
morning merrily brushing away in there?" Wente wrote. "Will he
think you're an easy sweep? Or will he suspect you're using his
toothbrush without asking? Whatever you decide to do, my advice
is to run the water very, very loud so he can't hear you." In
another column, "A Brief Note to Santa Claus on Real Women's
Underwear," Wente attempted to enlighten her male readers: "On
Christmas day, an alarming number of women are going to get a
surprise. A cute black garter-belt, say with little pink
rosebuds. I have news for those men, before it's too late. Real
women don't wear garter-belts."
Wente was writing this
column when she and Don Obe first became friends. Obe, a former
magazine editor and now a journalism instructor at Ryerson
Polytechnic University, describes her as "totally generous,
utterly warm and uncritical in the sense of accepting you for
what you are, which is so different from her image as a
perfectionist and tough boss." Last year Wente finally married
her long-time partner, Ian McLeod, executive producer of CTV's
W5. For years the two kept their separate
houses, living together in each house for a year at a time.
Penny Williams has been good friends with Wente since
the early '80s, rooming with her in 1984 when Williams moved from
Calgary to Toronto to edit Your Money
magazine. The Star column, she feels, still
reflects the Peggy that she knows. "People underestimate her
sense of humour," she says. "We seem to think that in order to be
serious, we must be solemn."
But it's not easy
interacting with someone who doesn't let on what she's thinking.
During our interviews there are several long, unnerving pauses.
At one point I ask if it's difficult for a shy personality to
become managing editor of a national newspaper. Twenty seconds
pass. Then her eyes widen as if she's going to speak. But still
no words. Just as I am about to rephrase my question, she utters
with perfect enunciation: "A lot of managers are introverts. So
there's hope for the introverts of the world." She chuckles. "You
learn how to operate. I'm very surprised to have wound up here.
You go where the challenges are. And you work around your
personality flaws."
This, I think, is why Wente is
considered such a mystery. No matter how straightforward your
question might be, that yawning gap of silence ensues. During
those seconds of quiet contemplation, you have no idea what she
is going to say next, and no hint as to what she thinks of you.
Some colleagues aren't willing to work through Wente's silences.
To them, Penny Williams says, "Everybody, get over it! It's just
who she is. It's not a plot. She's not Bill Gates plotting on the
world. She's just a more reticent, more thoughtful person who
takes longer to answer. Deal with it!"
Even on the job,
a kinder, gentler Peggy Wente occasionally surfaces. On a Sunday
afternoon in the spring of 1994, Kimberley Noble visited the
newsroom with her five-year-old daughter, Lucy, to check some
facts for the next day's story. She greeted Wente, who decided
that she wanted to run Noble's piece as Monday's top story.
Converting her brief into a B1 article would take some time, and
Noble wondered how long her daughter would last. Taking Lucy by
the hand, Wente told Noble not to worry and led the little girl
into her office. For the next two hours, Lucy played Barbies with
the editor of the Report on Business section. "And not in a kind
of patronizing way, either," says Noble. "In a way that Lucy just
had a great time. She was completely involved."
or not they get a taste of that side of Wente, supporters and
detractors alike seem to have respect for her tenacity. They see
her as smart, self-assured and ambitious. She is never accused of
slacking; she is never described as the victim.
fall, a few minutes before I met with her, I had scanned her
office, jumping from one thing to the next in search of a
defining object. Then I saw it: beside the Kim Campbell pin on
the bulletin board above her crowded desk there was another

Visa (V) Marked As Today's Roof Leaker Stock
- V has an average dollar-volume (as measured by average daily share volume multiplied by share price) of $380.2 million.
- V has traded 1.3 million shares today.
- V is trading at 2.12 times the normal volume for the stock at this time of day.
- V crossed below its 200-day simple moving average.
'Roof Leaker' stocks are worth watching because trading stocks that begin to experience a breakdown can lead to potentially massive losses. Once psychological and technical resistance barriers like the 200-day moving average are breached on higher than normal relative volume, the stock may then be subject to emotional selling from investors that can continue to drive the stock lower. Regardless of the impetus behind the price and volume action, when a stock moves with weakness and volume it can indicate the start of a new, potentially dangerous, trend. EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Get the inside scoop on opportunities in V with the Ticky from Trade-Ideas. See the FREE profile for V NOW at Trade-Ideas More details on V: Visa Inc., a payments technology company, operates as a retail electronic payments network worldwide. The company facilitates commerce through the transfer of value and information among financial institutions, merchants, consumers, businesses, and government entities. The stock currently has a dividend yield of 0.8%. V has a PE ratio of 24.9. Currently there are 21 analysts that rate Visa a buy, no analysts rate it a sell, and 4 rate it a hold. The average volume for Visa has been 3.2 million shares per day over the past 30 days. Visa has a market cap of $105.3 billion and is part of the financial sector and financial services industry. The stock has a beta of 0.61 and a short float of 2.9% with 8.01 days to cover. Shares are down 5.1% year-to-date as of the close of trading on Wednesday. STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more. TheStreetRatings.com Analysis: TheStreet Quant Ratings rates Visa as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, impressive record of earnings per share growth, compelling growth in net income and expanding profit margins. Although no company is perfect, currently we do not see any significant weaknesses which are likely to detract from the generally positive outlook. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 16.6%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 6.9%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- V has no debt to speak of therefore resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of zero, which we consider to be a relatively favorable sign. Along with the favorable debt-to-equity ratio, the company maintains an adequate quick ratio of 1.44, which illustrates the ability to avoid short-term cash problems.
- VISA INC has improved earnings per share by 31.3% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, VISA INC increased its bottom line by earning $7.58 versus $3.13 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($8.99 versus $7.58).
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the IT Services industry average, but is less than that of the S&P 500. The net income increased by 25.8% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $1,270.00 million to $1,598.00 million.
- The gross profit margin for VISA INC is rather high; currently it is at 68.13%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 50.52% significantly outperformed against the industry average.

I swim for almost 26 years... For as much as busy I might be, I always find time to get in the pool for at least 20 mins per day - I rather spend that time there than farming gold - and if I have a bit more time, I then get on the wetsuit and go to the sea instead
If one wants, there's always rme for exercising and traffic, overtime or any of the others should never be an excuse...
... And ask any people that does (proper) workout and they will all tell you that you "middle section" isn't groing because you dont exercise: it's what you've been eating
I'd look more to your calorie intake than anything. There's free apps all over the place that can help you track it. I don't know about you, but if you're a guy like me, purely consuming less calories than you burn in a typical day will give you the fastest weight loss.
Of course, people take that to mean starving themselves which is plain stupid. You merely use the many available online resources to come to some kind of consensus on your daily intake, and try to get just below it by a 50-100 calories.

a one shot i wrote one day
The girl stared at her clenched fists then at the body of the stranger on the floor next to her. Blood ran down her face as she cried. The red liquid mixing with salty water streaming from her eyes. She didn't know what was going on.
Did she kill the stranger lying with a slit throat? Did she wrap the piano wire now trailing from her fingers around his neck and pull? Was she responsible for the blood now staining the floorboards? Or had she been set up?
She couldn't remember anything from the previous night. She couldn't remember anything from the previous day, or the day before that or the day before that. Did she know the murdered man at all? She couldn't recall his name. She couldn't even recall her own.
The girl uncurled her clenched fists and cried at the blood still coating her palms. As she stared at the monstrosity she vaguely remembered touched her head where it now throbbed. Slowly, gently, she raised a hand to feel. It came away with even more blood, some of it crusty and dry, some of it fresh.
She realised she was sitting in blood, a puddle of it. Not quite as much as the murdered man but still a puddle. The victim's body didn't bleed, it was just coated in blood, dry blood that was long brown. He'd been dead for a while, a day at least. And she couldn't remember, had she even been conciouss?
She wanted to scream aloud at the mystery of it all, who was she? Who was the victim? Did she do it or was she another victim? Did she know who that man now lying dead on the floor was at all? She clenched her fists again and cried and cried and cried.
this was a one-shot i thought of one day, everything about it suggests mystery i think, well, almost everything
please r&r

KNOXVILLE (WATE) - Justin Hunter isn't going far to continue his football career. The former Vol receiver was drafted by the NFL's Tennessee Titans on Friday night.
Hunter was selected with the 2nd pick in the second round of the draft, the 34th pick overall.
The Titans had to wheel and deal to get Hunter, making a trade with the San Francisco 49ers.
Tennessee give up their 40th pick, a seventh rounder and a third round pick in the 2014 draft.
Hunter made an immediate impact with the Vols when he arrived in Knoxville in 2010.
As a freshman, seven of his 16 catches went for touchdowns.
His sophomore season was cut short when he suffered a serious knee injury in the third game at Florida.
As a junior, Hunter led the Vols with 73 catches, 1083 receiving yards a nine touchdowns.
In December, he announced his intention to leave Tennessee for a shot at the NFL.

Aesop Rock
Aesop RockAesop Rock are a hip-hop band who have built their style on the music Kool Keith and Del tha Funkee Homosapien. They were considered one of the notable MCs in the underground scene. In the beginning Aesop Pop issued some LPs like, "Appleseed" and "Music for Earthworms." They went on to record "Float" in 2000 for Mush. The album contained some singles from Ian Bavitz, these included "Boom Box" and "Coma." These singles were recorded for the popular underground rap label Definitive Jux.
According to BOSTON HERALD, "Listening to Aesop Rock is like taking your brain on a futuristic urban hell-ride through pop culture. A brilliantly twisted journey into his psychotic abyss, 'Bazooka Tooth' mesmerizes with its astounding wordplay and constantly morphing beats, building on the underground hip-hop icon's burgeoning legend."
Sorry, no upcoming events found at this time.
Artist Biography - Aesop RockThe band issues their second full length album "Labor Days" in 2001. The album was a commercial success and also earned the group great reviews. PAPER MAGAZINE said, "Bazooka Tooth's music is mainly his own, and his densely layered squiggles, samples and hardcore percussion are the aural equivalent of graffiti. Never mind that he's got a tongue like the subway's electrified rail and packs more sweet poetry into the album's empty spaces that the L train at rush hour."
Aesop Rock released the EP "The Daylight" and kept the name on the music charts. In September 2003, Aesop Rock issued "Bazooka Tooth." This release was followed by "Fast Cars, Danger, Fire and Knives" in early 2005. Catch Aesop Rock performing live, get your tickets at the earliest from your on-line ticket vendor.

Burberry has been an ultra-classic chic brand for well-over 50 years! Throughout the past few years, though, the familiar plaid pattern has popped up on red carpets via younger Hollywood stars. Their recent ad campaigns, featuring actress Emma Watson (below) and model turned actress Rosie Huntington-Whitely (top left), are targeting a younger demographic for a more youthful appeal. Aside from the Burberry price tag, do these ads make you more prone to buy an article of Burberry clothing?

Organic Maca Powder
Certified: Organic Gluten-Free Kosher
Organic maca powder comes from an adaptogenic root known for its dynamic natural effects--users tend to experience a big boost in energy, relief from stress and even an increase in libido. Organic maca powder can add a powerful dose of calcium, iron, magnesium, selenium and seven essential amino acids to your diet.
Health Benefits of Maca Powder
As an adaptogenic root, maca reduces anxiety and improves our ability to adapt in stressful situations. The rich iron content of organic maca powder supports the formation of hemoglobin: the red blood cells responsible for delivering oxygen throughout your body. Iron keeps us feeling energized and helps fight fatigue throughout the day. And beyond its noticeable effects on energy and endurance, a daily maca supplement regimen can promote better endocrine system health and may relieve ulcers, mild depression and menopause symptoms.
Maca Powder: Tastes and Uses
Organic maca powder has a mildly sweet and pleasant butterscotch flavor, which makes it an easy additive to everyday drinks and food. It's a great complement to oatmeal and other hot morning cereals, and powdered maca is even sweet enough to blend into milkshakes or stir into hot chocolate. Sprinkle a few teaspoons over popcorn, sliced fruit, or soups, or combine it with our organic cacao powder for an extra-energizing maca supplement.
Maca Powder: Our Registered Dietitian's Top Pick
There are 4 grams of fiber in just 1/2 ounces of organic maca powder and maca powder is known for its energy boosting properties. Plus, the powder has a mild flavor that doesn't overpower other tastes. Our Health Nut and Registered Dietitian says maca powder is a great way to boost the nutrient content of baked goods, such as breads, pancakes or muffins. When baking, add a few teaspoons to the flour mixture in the recipe to ensure it's mixed well throughout the batter.
Origins of Organic Maca Powder
Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is a finicky root, similar to a turnip or radish, that only grows well in the cold, arid climates of high mountain plateaus, and in soil that is inhospitable to most other crops. It is native to the Peruvian Andes, where it is still cultivated and carried to the villages below to be dried and ground into organic maca powder.
The root has a rich history in Peruvian culture and is believed to have been traditionally consumed by ancient Incan warriors just prior to battle, giving them superior endurance and strength. Its use as an aphrodisiac and fertility aid is also a time-honored Peruvian tradition. Maca benefits have historically been so sought-after and well-known in the area that the root was accepted by the Spanish as a form of currency during the colonization of the Inca Empire.

I've said that for years. NAPA, Dominos Pizza, and Best Western walked out the door with Mikey, but the heart and brains of the organization walked out the door when ty Norris got fired by Theresa. I knew MWR would do fine because Ty was in Mikey's corner and he had sponsors who would stand beside him. I cannot stop without saying one word, TOYOTA. They build the engines and give full factory support. Thanks Rob for coming to the party. You saved MWR!

DEI's real mistake may have been letting Waltrip and Norris get away
By admin | July 7, 2009
By Richard Allen
Michael Waltrip Racing has gone farther than many people ever expected.
During Tuesday's press conference to announce the ending of Waltrip's full time driving career and the beginning of Martin Truex's driving stint with the company, even Darrell Waltrip and Michael himself admitted they had doubts at times about the organization.
Michael's brother Darrell, who served as a master of ceremonies of sorts, declared in reference to team ownership, "I've been there, I've done that and it's really hard.†He even went so far as to say that he called their mother and expressed concern about his younger brother when Michael originally announced his intention to start a team.
"There were times when I thought it might say 'For Sale or Lease' out front instead of Michael Waltrip Racing,†the younger Waltrip conceded as he took his turn at the microphone.
However, despite those early doubts and the rough first year the team got off to, the announcement of landing Truex as a driver indicates the organization has come a long way.
"The first year was disastrous as you know,†the obviously proud older brother said, "but his dream is coming true.â€
MWR won its first race earlier this season in the Coca-Cola 600 with David Reutimann driving. Reutimann is also within striking distance of the top-12 in the Sprint Cup standings.
Marcos Ambrose, who drives for MWR partner JTG/Daugherty Racing, is having a solid first full season in Sprint Cup and has scored five top-10 finishes.
Much of the success of MWR can be traced to Vice-President and General Manager Ty Norris.
Norris and Waltrip were first together while working for Dale Earnhardt, Inc. Waltrip scored all four of his Sprint Cup victories, including two Daytona 500s, with DEI. Norris served in a similar administrative position with that organization as he now does with MWR.
Obviously, these two have developed a good working relationship. The team they have formed is on the rise while many are heading in the other direction.
While watching the press conference, one had to at least have some thoughts of DEI and its demise.
Many trace the downfall of that organization to the day Dale Earnhardt, Jr. announced he was leaving. I am now starting to wonder if losing the combination of Waltrip and Norris did not hurt the company every bit as badly.
Of course, Junior was the cash cow of the company. His star appeal can fill a whole organization with sponsors. But consider also that while Waltrip is not, nor ever has been, regarded as a championship caliber driver, he does have an incredible ability to draw in sponsors.
As the NAPA representative said during the press conference, "He is an outstanding spokesman for our company.â€
Many would argue that losing Junior as a driver was far more devastating than losing Waltrip for DEI. Apparently, losing neither as a driver was the determining factor for that company's demise. Junior has not shown championship ability with powerful Hendrick Motorsports. The loss of star appeal and the ability to bring in sponsors is what ultimately destroyed DEI.
If Junior were still there, DEI would still be there. However, it seems to me that with Michael Waltrip's ability to draw sponsors and Ty Norris' business sense DEI could still be a thriving company today even without Junior. And it would be so without the infighting between Dale Earnhardt Sr.'s family members.
Of course, Waltrip had other plans. He wanted to have something of his own. But still, the press conference of Tuesday showed me that his company is one of professionalism and class. After a rough start, they seem to really have their act together.
Michael Waltrip and Ty Norris have made that happen. The loss of these two is every bit as much where DEI's troubles really began as when they lost Dale Earnhardt, Jr.

Wrong, wrong wrong, Richard. I couldn't disagree more with you. The first huge mistake made at DEI was firing Slugger Labbe. After that, all the dominos started to fall.

As the saying goes here in Texas, "Dance with who brought you!" Teresa had a great team..Ty, Mikey, Junior (does anyone remember that Ty was Junior's spotter). Teresa obviously thought she knew everything about running a racing team. Guess now she realizes she didn't know anything, and the people that did were shown the door. This is so sad for all parties involved.
mikeyfan5599 Says:
July 8th, 2009 at 1:06 pm
It wasn't Teresa that got rid of Mikey and Ty, it was Junior, Junior is the one who said the DEI shouldn't resign Mikey, Teresa was in Mikeys corner because Dale made a promise to Mikey and Teresa wanted to fullfil it. But Teresa let them go hoping that would settle the dust between her and Dale Jr. but Kelly wouldn't let it drop. So now DEI/EGR is struggling, could this be a reason Junior is doing so poorly this season. Seeing what he did to his daddy's company?
midasmicah Says:

Regardless of where the blame lies, it's been sad to watch the company that Dale Sr. built from the ground up die such a slow death. Way to go Teresa. We all know the destruction of DEI will be your legacy.

July 8th, 2009 at 6:19 pm
Dale Jr hasn't done squat at the plate tracks since Mikey got screwed out of the 15 ride. I saw that as the downfall but never thought about Ty.
jon Says:
July 8th, 2009 at 11:47 pm
DIE was never really that great in my book. yeah they won races but never where a championship team. now that there RGR i thought they would be doing better then what they have this season. I mean both teams where ok teams. Jaun #42 he's been doing ok but now that Truex is leaving i think the team will even fall off alittle more. hey Teresa and Ganissi let me buy ur team for $1 i promise next year i would have that team in the top 10 in points. All EGR needs to really do is hirenew Crew Cheifs buy 10 cars from Hendrick and find a good driver to replace Truex. and find a sponsor that will pay a good amount of money.

Coconut water at Ibiraquera Park. They sell these like hot dogs in New York. They cut a hole with a cool-looking tool into the top of the coconut and stick a straw in it and voilà! It doesn't get any fresher than this. You can even cut it open and eat the coconut inside afterwards. That's like a full meal!
Lunch at Skye
Skye sits atop Hotel Unique, also known as the Watermelon Hotel, because well, it looks like a giant melon. The food at Skye is mostly seafood-based, which Brazil is known to do really well.
Kicked off lunch with a Hennessy Mojito... duh. I shouldn't have been so surprised Hennessy goes with mint but it was great. These cocktails were super sweet but in a good way.
Tuna nicoise salad with a crispy, breaded, soft-boiled egg and potatoes. If you've ever had a Scotch egg, this is a very similar concept, minus the meat. The tuna was a nice touch, because I don't think people generally associate fried food and tuna. Maybe they do? But I don't. The potatoes were like any other fried potato at say... Roy Rodgers, so I didn't really go to town on them.
Sashimi. So it's technically Japanese, but Brazil does sushi RYTE. Everything was so fresh with more than enough ginger on the side. There was the perfect amount of caviar and creme fraiche rolled up in salmon, making this dish pret-tay... pret-tay... pret-tay pretty fancy. I'm never eating salmon without caviar again, guys.
Chocolate tart with tapioca, coconut milk, and GOOOOOLD. Honestly, I didn't really need the gold... it kind of just tasted like rocks. Maybe I wasn't supposed to eat them. Anyway, the tapioca and coconut milk were the best part of this dish, but the chocolate tart was pretty spectacular too. It had a spongy, delicate texture with an opposing flavor of very, very rich chocolate. We are talking digestive-problems-if-you-eat-half rich.

Kiss The Demons Out Of My Dreams3 Reviews
Then something inside me snapped....There was a crash....and then a deafening silence.
Gerard's POV
... His daunting, lifeless eyes glinted with satisfaction upon seeing the fear in my own. That murderous grin showing a full set of yellow teeth. Through my heavy lidded eyes i could see his demonic face smirking at my obvious weakness. The anger building up inside me was immense, just pure rage. The pressure from the back of my head growing.
Then something inside me snapped....There was a crash....and then a deafening silence.
Rays POV
We were sat in Gee's lounge, giggling over a hyperactive Frank. Yes this was the norm for us. All of a sudden, a loud smashing sound echoed throughout the Way household, the noise resonating off the walls. We all glanced at one another with a 'did you hear that?' expression, before bolting to the bathroom Gerard had headed for.
I charged at the locked door and it swung open after the second try, hitting the wall with a dull thud. I stood staring at the scene before me, with Frank and Mikes behind me speechless. There was glass everywhere and a gaping hole where the mirror once was. Lots of the fragments scattered around the small tiled room were tainted with scarlet blood, dripping across the reflective shards. Gerard stood trembling in the middle of it all, fist held outwards showing thousands of tiny cuts. It was painfully obvious what had happened.
''Gerard, why the fuck did you just punch the bathroom mirror!?'' Frank questioned, still trying to take in what had just occurred.
Gerard kept his gaze down.
''Gee...What happened?'' I asked warily in a softer tone. I was truly worried about Gerard now. This silence was freaking me out.
He never did give us an explanation. He just walked out silently, leaving us standing in confusion looking at each other for answers. I sighed and bent down to start picking up the broken shards of glass.
Frank's POV
Yes! Finally we were playing a show. We were preforming at a local place, a small stage but a huge crowd. Just getting back into it before the tour y'know. Gerard told us to drop the subject when we asked about him breaking the mirror. I knew there was more to it than what he told us but with the way he was acting lately i didn't want to get on his bad side. Anyway he said he would tell us if things got too intense and i knew for a fact he wouldn't lie to us after what happened. It had been 2 weeks but still i couldn't shake that feeling that something was wrong, Gerard was just zoning out a lot, even in mid-conversation. I knew that he was sleeping properly again, (for the first time in what felt like an eternity) and that i shouldn't let myself worry too much. I'm sure Mikey was already a little anxious and worrying enough for all of us.
''Hey how long till we're on?'' Yes, i was bouncing up and down like a hyperactive squirrel. No, i did not care.
''15 minutes, a minute less than last time you asked'' Ray replied, trying to concentrate on his guitar rather than my excited chatter.
I moved to sit on the couch next to Mikes. ''Mikeeeeeey'' I whined.
''Yeeees Frank?''
''Gee awake yet?'' I usually did some warm ups with him before a show. It was like a tradition To be honest, ever since this all started i was missing my best friend.
''no, i'll get him now'' Mikey said quite happily. He was pumped for the show. Hell we were all ecstatic to be playing again, and i'm sure Gerard was no exception.
Sorry for the shortness and lack of awesome, but it makes sense for the next chapter. lets just call this chapter 'short and sweet' okay?? Thanks for all the Reviews !!

Citizen Eco-Drive men's titanium sapphire bracelet watch 1 1
Disappointing Liked the watch but unfortunately the bracelet link pin that the shop had removed to adjust the size fell out and another was very loose. Took back and they attempted to rectify but managed to scratch the bracelet in the process, so I opted for a refund. Looking at other reviews of Citizen watches it seems that this is not a unique problem. 31 January 2014

Main attraction of the piece, the cake just need some flowers and shaped to impose. And delight guests. With the art of modeling flowers you can create daisies, pansies, minirrosas and other flowers, all decorative and edible.
Ingredients of dough for the flowers
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon gelatin colorless
- Powdered sugar
- Almond extract (to taste)
- 1 tablespoon margarine
- 1 tablespoon of glucose
- Brush
- Leaf cutter
- Petal cutter
How to prepare
- Dissolve the gelatin in the water bath and add the glucose, margarine and essence. Stir well to dissolve.
- Remove from heat. In granite countertops make a "volcano" with powdered sugar and add the mixture in the center. Work the dough with your hands up to the point.
- Open to the roll. The dough should be elastic and not too hard. Tint small portions of dough with aniline edible flowers in yellow, orange and green. Book them in pots.
- Roll dough, dyed orange, on the small board, using the roll until a thickness of 4 mm. Use the rose petal cutter for 14 pieces.
How to model:
- Put some corn starch in your hand, support the petal on your the palm and give the final shape. Repeat the same process, until you get 14 petals.
- Now, model a pear and a stalk, as if wrapping a drumstick. Use the brush to rub a little water on the edge of the petal. Use two and then three more petals. Then use four petals and finally five.
- To model the leaves, the dough the same way, use the cutter for sheet, and then add the batter over the bookmark, pressing with your fingers. Mix the aniline green in a little water and wipe it with a brush on the surface of the sheet. It will highlight the ribs. Secure the roses and leaves (paste) on the cake with some icing real.
Mom Tips
If you want a more closed rosebud; use less petals.
Cutters you find in special products for parties.
Chocolate Danete! Midway between yogurt and ice cream. Delicious and creamy, you will not regret making this recipe.
- 2 boxes of chocolate pudding
- 1 liter of milk
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk

How to prepare
- Bring all ingredients to fire, and stir constantly until thickened. Let cool and put at the refrigerator.
- After it is cold add 1 can of cold cream. Stir well and return to the refrigerator for 1 hour. Serve well chilled.
Mom Tips
If you do not like chocolate just vary the flavor of the pudding (strawberry, cream, caramel, etc.).

The City of Montreal unveiled the winning design for 400 new sustainable bus shelters to be built over the next year throughout the city. Features of the winning design from the firm of LeBlanc & Turcott include:
- Solar panels for lighting
- A self-supporting structure
- Modular design for various sizes
Source: Bustler
Drawing inspiration from the STM's newly minted brand signature, "Mouvement collectif," the design proposal by Leblanc + Turcotte + Spooner offers a modular, scalable solution. Featuring a self-supporting structure, the concept enables the manufacturing of base models, with the possibility of joining several units together to create variable-size configurations that can accommodate larger or smaller numbers of users.
The design features a communications column, which could house various components including dynamic digital displays and backlit advertising posters. An integrated solar power system will ensure lighting of shelters that cannot be connected to the power grid.
The jury was especially impressed with the potential for integration and modular construction afforded by the winning team's proposal. In a statement, jury co-chairs Denise Vaillancourt, Executive Director, Planning, Marketing and Communications, STM, and Gilles Saucier, architect and partner in the firm Saucier + Perrotte, noted: "This preliminary design offers a comprehensive array of solutions to the complex problems with which the competing designers were presented. The concept incorporates current technologies, and meets the STM's comfort and safety requirements."
