I cant think of anything that could have been better, for a 2 star hotel they meet and exceed expectationsNice breakfast in morning with coffee to get day started, was very much appreciated.
Poor 2.0
The employees are nice and WORK HARD!
The fact that remodeling was happening and it left the room with a strong paint smell. The workers did great but I think that the company itself needs to bee more interested in the guests ad the workers how hard they work with limited employees!Your hotel has critters crawling through the walls at night scratching all night long! We believe they were mice due to the corn fields close by! We would not stay there again!

Arizona Cardinals
NFL Insider: Andy Reid 'expected' to land in Arizona
There has been much speculation about who will take over the head coaching reins of the Arizona Cardinals.
One name that has been linked frequently to the Cardinals is former Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid.
CBS NFL Insider Jason La Canfora tweeted he expects Reid to wind up in Arizona.
I'm getting the sense more and more than Kelly stays at Oregon, but we shall see. Also expect Andy Reid to end up with the Cards job— Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) January 1, 2013
It has been reported that Reid will interview with Cardinals' brass about the head coaching vacancy.
The veteran coach was a mainstay on the sidelines in Philadelphia for 14 seasons and led the Eagles to five NFC Championship games and one Super Bowl appearance.
In recent years, Reid failed to meet the Eagles' hefty expectations and was unable to get high-priced free agents to perform. Philadelphia went a disappointing 12-20 over the past two seasons, sealing the acclaimed coach's fate.
Reid is expected to be a sought-after coach this offseason but he could be enticed to join the Cardinals, who already have a championship-caliber defense in place.

Abattoir Makes My Top Ten
October 7, 2009 at 4:15 pm , by Serina Patrick
After yet another visit, this time with a semi-rowdy group of friends actually seated in the dining room, I had to bump my neighborhood Tex-Mex fave El Taco and seedy yet surprisingly healthy Tex-Mex fave El Myr to give Abattoir a spot. Neither seriously deserved spots in the Top Ten, but I so love Mexican food, I just wanted it represented. (lame, right?)
We snacked on chicharrones and the lovely, fatty rabbit rillette (photo above). Crispy bread with real sweet butter and a bottle or two of a deep and spicy malbec (only $36!) set the stage for a hearty meal.
This time I tried the duck breast with cabbage and pear slaw. Served sliced thin and medium rare, the side didn't have enough sweet to adequately compliment the meat. One friend had the tender and tasty short ribs with sweet potatoes. The rest is all a meaty blur, although no one had anything offal. (did I mention my friends are pussies?)
But it was the dessert that really did it for me. The new hazelnut meringue with coffee ice cream and chocolate sauce stole the show, all of us digging in with spoons clanking against the huge bowl….I can only imagine the scene as a bit frightening for on-lookers! It was chewy, creamy, light, and rich all at once. We also ordered the not-so-special chocolate creme cookie with ice milk and the always amazing maple bacon beignets.

Authorized User Accounts
Do authorized user accounts work?
Yes! Authorized user accounts can be a great boost to your credit repair effort. They are not the final long term solution to your credit rebuilding needs, but if you are sincerely trying to turn your credit around and want a little help getting your credit repair project underway, by all means, do it. Read More »
I got an authorized user account and my scores fell, can you tell me why?
Good question. If you are going to ask a friend or family member to add you to one of their credit cards you should make sure that the subject card meets certain criteria. Otherwise you will get no credit repair benefit. Or, as you have discovered, your scores may actually fall. Read More »
I was an authorized user on an account that went bad. It is now hurting my credit repair. Can I get removed from the card?
Authorized user accounts are a great help with credit repair, at least as long as they are managed properly. Anyone considering becoming an authorized user on the account of a friend or relative for credit repair purposes should make sure the account is in good standing. Read More »
How long until an authorized user account will help my credit repair program?
Authorized user accounts are one of the fastest ways to get your credit repair program underway. The moment that the account shows up on your credit report your credit scores will respond. This may take up to sixty days depending on the reporting schedule of the creditor. Read More »
I'm thinking of purchasing an authorized user account as part of my credit repair. What do you think?
If you are considering incorporating an authorized account into your credit repair program you should see if a family member is willing to be the donor rather than purchasing the account. Read More »
I'm just starting credit repair. Can I skip opening my own accounts and just get a few authorized user accounts?
We do not suggest using authorized user accounts as a substitute for building your own credit. Authorized user accounts have their place in the credit repair process, but it should be limited to a supporting role. Read More »
I heard that the new version of FICO (the credit scoring formula) eliminates the benefit of authorized user accounts. Is this true?
Prior to the release of FICO 08 (the latest version of the FICO credit scoring model) Fair Isaac announced that they were going to end the benefit of all authorized user accounts by removing them from the credit score calculation. Read More »
I want to get an authorized user account to jumpstart my credit repair. Are there any potential issues I should be careful about?
It is very easy to set up an authorized user account, as long as you have a willing donor. And the new account should provide a noticeable increase in your credit score as soon as the account makes its appearance on your credit report – assuming that the donor's account has all of the proper characteristics to help rather than hinder your credit repair effort. Read More »
How do authorized user accounts work, and can they be a real benefit to my credit repair process?
Authorized user accounts are a potentially valuable credit repair tool for the reason that they have the unique ability to transfer their entire credit score value from one person to another. Read More »
If my father adds me to one of his credit cards as an authorized user is there any risk for his credit?
If your father is kind enough to add you to one of his credit cards to assist your credit repair effort it is a wonderful thing. And he should be happy to hear that there is no credit risk to him as a donor unless he gives you a copy of the card for your own use, in which case he is liable for any debt that you incur on the account. Read More »
Credit Repair and Authorized User Accounts
The way we see it, the best credit repair services should help you create real, lasting credit improvement. At Sky Blue we think it's all about building the kind of credit that you can be proud of and lenders will love. And it is about building your own credit.
Authorized user accounts have their role in credit repair, but we see this role as supplementary. If you have turned the corner in your credit life and are sincerely trying to rebuild your credit, authorized user accounts can provide a helpful credit score boost. This can be encouraging and may even help you qualify for financing, should you be in the market for a loan.
But authorized user accounts are not a replacement for building your own credit. Secured credit cards, if managed right, are a perfect credit repair tool, and will belong to you. This is an important consideration. As you will see as you browse this section of our Credit Repair Questions and Answers, authorized user accounts can go bad and leave you worse off than before. In addition, many lenders now scrutinize your credit report to see that you have open accounts of your own.
If you have access to authorized user accounts, by all means make them a part of your credit repair program, but don't neglect to build your own credit. Good luck!

Watch Boca realtor Amanda Zuckerman "unfiltered" on "Big Brother" tonight!
- 11:50 am Wednesday, June 26th, 2013 by Leslie Gray Streeter
Marilyn Zuckerman hasn't seen or spoken to daughter and real estate sales partner Amanda in 10 days – "I've had no communication with my child, and it's very unnerving," the Boca Raton resident admits.
Fortunately, Marilyn – and the rest of the world – is going to get to see a whole lot of Amanda, 24/7 if they want to, starting with tonight's premiere of CBS' "Big Brother." You probably know the deal, but here it is anyway – Amanda, 28, a graduate of New York's prestigious American Musical and Dramatic Academy, will join 15 other folks to live in a house rigged with cameras up the ying-yang. They will be cut off from the rest of the world, be watched constantly, play silly games, form alliances, have emotional meltdowns, vie for camera time, sometimes purposely annoy each other and start beefs for no reason, and then vote each other off, all in the name of cash and prizes.
Got all that?

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. — The Springfield Sliders couldn't hold on to a 3-2 lead, allowing four runs in the bottom of the eighth inning as they fell to Terre Haute 6-3 in a Prospect League baseball game shortened to eight innings due to weather Friday night.
Springfield starting pitcher Chris Powell held the Rex to two unearned runs on seven hits. But the Sliders' bullpen could not protect the lead, giving up a combined four runs on three hits and three walks.
Itw as the Sliders' fifth straight loss as they fell to 8-18 in the league's second half and 13-43 overall.
After three scoreless innings to start the game, the Sliders had a breakout fourth With the bases loaded, Riley Spetz hit a single to drive in A.J. Fritts, and Corey Dempster followed up with another single to score Jake Ingold. A sacrifice fly by Zach Schira scored the Sliders' third run.
But Terre Haute answered quickly to keep itself in the game.
In the bottom of the fourth, Matthew Chavarria scored on a Clayton Smithson single followed by an error, and Manuel de Jesus scored on a ground-out in the fifth inning.
Jeff Zahn and Tony Rosselli both drew walks from Sliders relief pitcher Sawyer Howard to start the bottom of the eighth, and three consecutive Terre Haute hits drove them in. A bases-loaded walk to Clayton Smithson followed by a fielder's choice drove in two more runs.
This was the Sliders' last road game of the season. They will return to Robin Roberts Stadium Saturday night for another game against Terre Haute.

Real estate developers face difficulties due to 'cowboy developers' in UAE
New and existing real estate developers in the UAE are finding it increasingly difficult to finance their proposals as a result of concerns over cowboy developers who secure loans and buyers' down-payments on property projects then flee the country.
As a result, banks and financial institutions are becoming increasingly wary of lending to new developers due to a stabilizing property market and companies which complete their projects late or not at all, according to Gulf News.
Barmak Besharaty, managing director at Dubai-based Almas Capital, which specializes in UAE real estate lending and construction loans, explained that the difficulties will worsen for developers when the Dubai Land Department introduces regulation on escrow (trust) accounts, whereby investors' payments are safeguarded by independent bodies. At the moment most payments are made directly to the developers, many of which use the money to finance construction.
"Dubai is a new real estate market and there are some private developers with no experience in the market," said Besharaty.
"They may have been a cargo or trading company which see the potential of the real estate market, so they buy a piece of land, place an add in the media and collect a percentage of people's payment. Then they simply get on a plane and go back to where they came from."
"It's extremely rare that this happens because of the risks involved and the fact that developers can make more money by completing a project, but lenders are still very concerned," he added.

Students at Grand Valley State University attempted to recreate the 20-year-old's scantily clad "Wrecking Ball" music video performance atop the facility's pendulum statue, which is comprised of a 42-inch steel ball hanging on a 50-foot cable.
According to Total Frat Move, "After several naked Vines imitating Miley Cyrus, Grand Valley State University has taken down the pendulum structure better known as the GV Wrecking Ball," which was a campus landmark for roughly 18 years.
However, Complex is reporting that students are now in protest because "their right to recreate Miley's actions in the nude using a famous campus landmark is being infringed upon." #ReinstallTheBall has since become a Trending Topic on Twitter.

I always thought the Transmogrifier would look less Ethereal-y and more Cardboard Box-y.
That said, one would hope the Void Storage is an expanded bank option. Maybe like a personal set up of the guild bank interface. But the Transmogrifier has me interested. An alternative to an appearance tab? Pay to have one equipment item to look like another? Or an in-game way to change certain appearance options other than the ones the barbershop covers? (That one seems pretty far fetched as they already have a paid appearance change... but who knows!)
If I didn't know that was a Calvin and Hobbes reference, I might have guessed it was an Apeture Science joke....wait.....
Calvin Johnson here! Today, you are going to be testing the Transmogrifier with our loyal test subject, HOBBES (Humorous Object Blatantly Beaten Ethically with Science). Just use the tiger to tip the ethreal on its side, and duplicate items. Turn it upside down, and you have time machine.
The test boys are suggesting that I warn you about going back in time, and looking at yourself. They say it will wipe out time. Entirely. Forwards and back. So, if you see yourself using the new void system banking, or Transmogrifier....you just let that handsome devil go.
Anything you would like to say Susie? No? Alright. Pretty as a postcard she is. But married. TO TEST REALMS!
Alright, Calvin Johnson here, we're done.
Okay, seen this a lot, but I must be missing something?
Is there anything besides the word "Transmogrifier" that makes this a Calvin and Hobbes reference? I mean, transmogrifier is actually a real word, pre-dating the comic by several hundred years, so is there something else to suggest it's an intentional allusion?
And at the risk of being a nitpicking pedant: @Maymer: that's CAVE Johnson. (Never screw up the name of a man who threatened to "burn life's house down" for giving him lemons.)
We're done here.
The word transmogrify predates the comic because Calvin has a time machine. He obviously went back in time and spread the use of his new word. Also, Modern Day Football is derived from an ancient sport that is eerily similar to Calvinball. :D
( And if I'm lying, then I just created an alternate universe where it's true, so I'm not lying. Mwa ha ha ha!)
It was a joke, acting like Calvin was Cave Johnson. And Susie replaces Caroline, and Hobbes....well, it's Hobbes.
So, I don't want your damn nitpicking! I DEMAND to see your manager! DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM!?
I'M THE GUY THAT'S GOING TO BURN YOUR COMMENT DOWN...with the nitpicking!!!!
*gets a combustible lemon chucked at him by Dae* You fight dirty, sir.

I installed SCCM 2012 SP1 in my lab on a VMware host. I installed the management console on my Surface Pro and on my Windows 8 desktop.
I have a lot of connectivity issue. Sometimes I start the console and it cannot connect to the site or sometimes I'm connected and in the middle of a window the console stops to react. Sometimes I do get a warning "RPC server not available.
I have switched off the firewall on my desktops computer and on the SCCM server. The server runs with Windows Server 2012. It drives me crazy losing connection all the time. I think there is not a firewall issue.
Any other idea?

President Obama embarked on a flurry of high-dollar campaign fundraisers this week, an activity unusual for him only because his White House spokesman simultaneously denied that Obama was "engaging particularly aggressively" in his reelection bid.
"[B]ecause he does not need to now, he is not engaging particularly aggressively in his reelection campaign," White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters Monday when asked about Obama's interest in the Republican debates. That same day, though, Obama raised over $1.1 million at a fundraiser that reportedly cost $45,000 per ticket.
Today, Obama returned to Chicago for three more fundraisers in a span of six hours -- one public, and two private events. Tickets to the first private event reportedly costs $38,000 per couple, though the second event is a little cheaper, as reported ticket prices can cost as little as $7,500 per person to $20,000 per couple.
He also made an unscheduled stop at his presidential campaign headquarters, but asked reporters not to report the event ahead of time. "I wanted to give you a heads up on this but I would ask that you not report this until we arrive, which is that our first stop, once we get off the helicopter in Chicago, will be to travel to the Obama for America headquarters in downtown Chicago," Deputy Press Secretary Josh Earnest said during the flight to Chicago this afternoon.

|Dan Auerbach on his new 'look' for their upcoming tour (x)
Last week I had the pleasure of meeting up with The Black Keys and Danny McBride for the new EW cover. Awesome hanging with The Black Keys again and Danny McBride…prob one of the nicest people you could ever meet. Thanks to the whole crew, the EW gang for having me and special shout out to Michele Romero
I have seen some around, but I really don't like to post them. This blog is dedicated to the band, so I really try to keep their personal lives out of it (unless the explicitly post the photos on instagram or twitter, which in Dan's case doesn't happen). Sorry.
The Black Keys → Turn Blue Tour Announcement
I'm certain they will! If you pre-ordered a record from their website, one of the things that came with the package was pre-sale access for their upcoming tour. I doubt they'd offer me, someone living in North America, pre-sale access for their tour if they weren't touring the continent.
And besides, last time their North American tour was quite extensive and successful, I doubt they wouldn't do one again!
tbk article from mojo magazine!! sorry if the quality's bad or whatever its my first time scanning an article in hahah
EDIT: sorry i just realised there was a spread missing (the 5th spread) so i added it
Turn Blue - The Black Keys
The Black Keys, Fever - official audio
"The Black Keys' new album Turn Blue will be released May 13th. Pre-order the album later today and receive the single "Fever" instantly."
[note: the iTunes link isn't working rn, we'll keep checking…]

March 14, 2008
Award-winning novelist, poet, screenwriter, composer and performer Sherman Alexie will be the keynote speaker at the college's commencement ceremony on June 19.
VANCOUVER, Wash. – Award-winning novelist, poet, screenwriter, composer and performer Sherman Alexie will be the keynote speaker at Clark College's 2008 commencement ceremony. The ceremony will be held at 7 p.m. at the Clark County Amphitheater on Thursday, June 19, 2008.
Clark College is the third largest community and technical college in Washington State. During the 2007-2008 academic year, between 900 and 1,000 Clark College students are expected to graduate with associate degrees and certificates.
Clark College President Robert K. Knight noted, "While people may not immediately recognize Sherman Alexie's name, they may have seen 'Smoke Signals,' the moving film about his life. Sherman Alexie has survived countless obstacles in his education, career and life. His success in overcoming challenges will certainly resonate with our students. He will also bring humor and joy, making it a memorable evening for everyone."
About Sherman Alexie
A Spokane/Coeur d'Alene Indian, he grew up on the Spokane Indian Reservation in Wellpinit, WA.
According to his official bio, "Born hydrocephalic, which means with water on the brain, Alexie underwent a brain operation at the age of 6 months and was not expected to survive. When he did beat the odds, doctors predicted he would live with severe mental retardation. Though he showed no signs of this, he suffered severe side effects, such as seizures and uncontrollable bed-wetting, throughout his childhood. In spite of all he had to overcome, Alexie learned to read by age three, and devoured novels, such as John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath, by age five."
Alexie attended Gonzaga University for two years then transferred to Washington State University (WSU) in Pullman. Alexie planned to be a doctor and enrolled in pre-med courses at WSU but changed his career path after taking part in a poetry workshop at WSU.
Shortly after graduating from WSU with a Bachelor of Arts degree in American Studies, Alexie received the Washington State Arts Commission Poetry Fellowship in 1991 and the National Endowment for the Arts Poetry Fellowship in 1992.
He continued to write prolifically and his first collection of short stories, "The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven," was published by Atlantic Monthly Press in 1993. For this collection he received a PEN/Hemingway Award for Best First Book of Fiction, and was awarded a Lila Wallace-Reader's Digest Writers' Award. Alexie was named one of Granta's Best of Young American Novelists and won the Before Columbus Foundation's American Book Award and the Murray Morgan Prize for his first novel, "Reservation Blues," published in 1995 by Atlantic Monthly Press.
In 1997, Alexie embarked on another artistic collaboration. Chris Eyre, a Cheyenne/Arapaho
Indian, discovered Alexie's writing while doing graduate work at New York University's
film school. Through a mutual friend, they agreed to collaborate on a film project
inspired by Alexie's work.
The basis for the screenplay was "This is What it Means to Say Phoenix, Arizona," a short story from The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven. Shadow Catcher Entertainment produced the film. Released as "Smoke Signals" at the Sundance Film Festival in January 1998, the movie won two awards: the Audience Award and the Filmmakers Trophy.
After success at Sundance, Smoke Signals found a distributor, Miramax Films, and was released in New York and Los Angeles on June 26 and across the country on July 3, 1998. In 1999 the film received a Christopher Award, an award presented to the creators of artistic works "which affirm the highest values of the human spirit."
In 2004, 2006 and 2008 he was an Artist in Residence at the University of Washington, teaching courses in American Ethnic Studies. He holds honorary degrees from Seattle University (doctor of humanities, honoris causa–2000) and Columbia College, Chicago (1999).
His most recent honor is receiving the 2007 National Book Award in Young People's Literature for his young adult novel, "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian."
Alexie's most recent publications are "Flight," released in April 2007 by Grove/Atlantic and "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian," his first young adult novel, published in September 2007 by Little, Brown.

Still fundraising at 102
Friday, 22 March 2013
A BLACKHEATH woman has nominated her 102-year-old mother for an Our Heroes award for "being the oldest charity fundraiser in the country".
Millicent Turnbull gives talks about her colourful life to help raise funds to help diabetes and cancer sufferers. She estimates she has raised between £2,000-£3,000 over the past four years.
Millicent, known to her friends as Millie, now lives in St Leonard's-on-Sea in East Sussex, but she worked as an under housemaid in Eaton Square in Belgravia and was the youngest manageress for J Lyons Corner House in The Strand before moving to Kent where she married Cecil in 1937 – whom she met at the famous cafe.
Millie is regularly in Blackheath giving talks to raise money for The Blackheath Halls, Diabetes UK and Cancer Research UK. She was invited to speak by the charities after being recommended by her eldest daughter, Caroline Goodwin, who has lived in the village for 47 years, and knows members of Cancer Research UK and Blackheath Halls.
Caroline said: "I am nominating my dear mother Millicent Turnbull in recognition of her fundraising talks on her very eventful life.
"She is a natural speaker with a great rapport with her audience. When people meet her they are uplifted by her spirit and enthusiasm. It is hard to believe she is 102.
"Surely she must be the country's oldest charity fundraiser."
Among the topics Millie has in her repertoire are her childhood years, her time in service in London, being a nippy, the War years, champion hop-picker and a temporary fortune teller at the Harrietsham annual fete.
Caroline said: "The committee needed another fundraising side show for the fete so mother suggested she could be a fortune teller. "She dressed and made up and sat in her tent – but not so much fortune as past life was revealed. Her clients were amazed and paid for this information.
"When she was unmasked there were red faces all round. Is this not resourcefulness?"
The Our Heroes awards recognise the community champions who make our lives better, often with little reward. When Millie found out she had been nominated, she said: ''I feel really chuffed.'' Millie is due to speak on behalf of Cancer Research UK at The Clarendon Hotel, Blackheath on April 4.
She will also be talking at The Blackheath Halls in May.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Milwaukee is apparently not the only place in Wisconsin where child pornography investigations have been delayed.
The Journal Sentinel obtained a spreadsheet Wednesday showing that 41 cases waited for at least two months to be investigated at state Justice field offices in Wausau, Eau Claire, and Madison as well as Milwaukee.
As of late February, the average delay in the 41 cases in question was more than a year. The longest was three-and-a-half years.
The documents were the result of a Justice Department review. Spokeswoman Dana Brueck told the Journal Sentinel it did not identify a problematic pattern at any other the state's field offices outside Milwaukee.
She cited a number of reasons why cases could be delayed, due to things like the quality of the tips received -- and the complexity of certain cases.
Milwaukee field office director Willie Brantley was let go after investigative delays were exposed at his facility. Milwaukee agent Anna King quit.
Those cases showed that a Racine man was left free to molest a boy he was babysitting -- and a drug and alcohol counselor from Pewaukee did not have to register as a sex offender in his abuse case.

Xanxus walked into his room, sitting down at his chair, as normal. Was it something about that day that weren't normal anyway? Xanxus was sure it was something, but he didn't bother enough about to start thinking about it. Xanxus looked down at his paper work. Being the leader of an organization was a lot of work, but it was worth it. Even though Xanxus still was annoyed because of the "Ring-battle accident", he had other things to think about as well. "As long as no one died, everything is fine". Xanxus laughed a little for himself. "Yeah, right…"
Xanxus always thought while reading those words. He would have liked it a lot better if Tsunayoushi had died back then, but of course, it was nothing Xanxus could do with it. He started working, not really thinking about this "Special day"
Squalo sat on his bed, thinking. That itself made this day special, but it was something else as well. Yes, this was indeed a special day. Not that Squalo really cared about it, but today was the day Squalo turned 24. It was the 13.04, his birthday. No, Squalo didn't really care about his birthday, but it was one person he hoped remembered it, even though he weren't aware of that himself.
Xanxus looked up from his work and up at the calendar. The annoying feeling of forgetting something made it almost impossible to work, so he decided to just check it out, and get it out of his head so he could continue working. When he looked at the calendar he noticed the words "Squalo's birthday". Xanxus sighed. Yes, Xanxus knew Squalo was special, but he was special in a way that made Xanxus not giving a shit about him.
Xanxus remembered the day Squalo said Xanxus wouldn't regret taking him in. Sure, he didn't regret it, but he weren't sure about if it were the perfect choice either. Xanxus knew it wouldn't be possibly to find a person who was as good a swordsman as Squalo, and after all, was it someone in the Varia that didn't annoy Xanxus? The biggest difference between Squalo and the other members was that Squalo was able to be on the edge between being enjoyable and being irritating, even though it most of the times ended being the last. Xanxus also remembered the feeling he had got when he thought Squalo was dead. It was a weird feeling he had never got before. Back then he had shaked it off with laughing and lying about that he didn't care, but afterwards he had started thinking about what it actually meant.
Squalo stood up from his bed, and walked into the shower. Feeling the hot water against his naked skin was really comfortable for him. It made him relax. While standing there Squalo remembered a way to get to know what you care about the most. Not that Squalo actually cared about it, but he might as well try it out. Squalo relaxed, and tried not thinking about anything, but it was one picture that always returned to his mind. Or rather, it was a person that always came back into his mind. Did that mean he was the one he cared the most about?
Xanxus was finally finished with his work, when he started thinking about if he should do something for Squalo. After all, it was his birthday. Why did Xanxus care so much about it anyway? He hadn't done anything when it was Belphegor's birthday. Was it because it was Squalo, or was it something wrong with Xanxus that day? Xanxus continued thinking about it, and somehow he was able to find an answer. He probably wouldn't do anything… Unless it was something that made him think otherwise.
Squalo walked out of the shower, without being completely relaxed, as he usually was after taking a shower. That would most probably mean bad news for the other Varia members. Squalo walked out of his room, not really paying attention to the scenario around him. He didn't know where he was going, and he didn't really think about anything while walking, but somehow he ended up outside Varia's living room. He walked in, still not paying attention, when he saw Belphegor and some of the other people from Varia hanging up decorations.
Even those underlings were there, helping out. Squalo sat annoyed down at the sofa, looking at the Varia members. Then Squalo noticed Belphegor sitting next to him.
- Shishishi, I bet Squalo can't wait till we're finished~ He said.
Xanxus walked over to the living room, knowing they were making everything ready for Squalo. He weren't sure if he should do anything for Squalo yet. Even though he had decided that he wouldn't, he always ended up wondering if he should anyway. What did Squalo mean to him? He just couldn't find the answer to that question. Was Squalo only another annoying member in the Varia, or did he mean something more? Xanxus seriously didn't know. He walked in without really thinking about anything, when he saw Belphegor irritating Squalo. Xanxus sighed.
- Bel, leave Squalo alone… Squalo, I want to talk to you… Xanxus said, looking at Squalo.
Squalo stood up, and walked after Xanxus.
Squalo looked at Xanxus, wondering about what he wanted to talk about. Both of them simply stood there a while, looking at each other. Why did Xanxus say he wanted to talk with Squalo? He hadn't planned anything like this…
- Were you going to tell me anything at all? Squalo said annoyed.
Xanxus grabbed Squalo's arm when he was starting to leave.
- Did I say you could leave? Xanxus said, before he dragged Squalo into a kiss.
Squalo was surprised at first, but was able to calm down. Somehow…
Xanxus gently licked Squalo's lower lip. Squalo understood the message, and opened his mouth a little. While starting making out, Xanxus lightly took a hold on Squalo's manhood.
Squalo broke the kiss and looked up at a smirking Xanxus.
- We'll finish this tonight… Xanxus said, and walked in to the living room again, again with his serious look.
Squalo looked weird after Xanxus, before he joined the living room as well. And through the whole birthday party he thought about how the night would be. And when it came, all his wished were fulfilled

WAUSAU, Wis (WSAU) Wausau's teachers union has voted in favor of a 'no confidence' resolution involving superintendent Steven Murley. Union rank-and-file took the vote last weekend.
The Wausau Education Association released a statement last night saying the vote reflects "the superintendent's ability to lead, the overall school climate, and long-range academic planning."
The teachers union had criticized Murley last month over a school budget that assumed large numbers of teacher retirements. Some of those positions would remain unfilled. Others will be replaced with newer, lower-paid teachers.
The statement from the W-E-A says teacher morale is low, and that some of their concerns date back to 2008 and haven't been addressed by the board of education.
There's been no comment from Murley or from the school board.

Too Young to Compete?
Some of these athletes have just begun puberty. Will the Olympics destroy their bodies?
He Kexin and Jiang Yuyuan are China's top competitors on the uneven bars. Kexin is reportedly 14 and Yuyuan is reportedly 15.
British diving star Tom Daley is 14.
And China's Yang Yilin and Li Shanshan, two gymnasts who both won gold this year, are 16 years old.
While these kids are undoubtedly performing amazing feats, let's not forget: They're kids, and in some cases, tweens. And while the minimum age for competing in the Olympics is 16, some are dodging the rules by entering at the age of 12. Which means they've presumably been training for years--some even since the age of three.
But is training at such a young age safe? While there's no doubt athletes consume a lot of calories, they're also burning off an excessive amount. (Has anyone ever seen an overweight gymnast?)
"In order for a young body to attain maximal growth, bones and muscles need adequate nutrition and calories," says Dr. Cara Natterson, pediatrician and author of Your Newborn: Head to Toe and Your Toddler: Head To Toe. "If a child, pre-teen, or even a teenager who is not done growing trains at such a high level that she's not able to consume as many calories as her body uses on a daily basis, she won't gain adequate weight, which can cause developmental problems."
"For starters, if you don't eat enough especially during your growth spurt, your bones simply won't grow. So you may end up a lot shorter than you were supposed to be," she says.
But even more concerning: "If you don't gain enough weight, you can even delay the onset of puberty," she adds. "For example, gymnasts are often very petite with smaller breasts. What's more, when you delay puberty, you also delay getting your first period. Of course, there are exceptions to this rule."
So how will such intense training impact a kid's body in the future? "Unfortunately, we aren't entirely sure how Olympic training will affect health down the road," explains Dr. Cara. "But if a child is chronically undernourished, her overused joints can become arthritic sooner than they otherwise would have."
"On the other hand, exercise does have beneficial effects on bone strength, cardiovascular health, and muscle development," she says. "It all depends upon the particular child, the sport, the degree of intensity, and her overall health and nutritional status in order to predict whether a pre-teen Olympic athlete will be a healthy adult."
What about Michael Phelps's famous diet of greasy pizza, enriched pasta, pancakes, and grits? Sure, he's a 23-year-old man, and has finished growing. But is all this fatty food improving his performance, or does it matter what he eats as long as he's getting enough calories?
"We all know a balance of fruits, vegetables, proteins, carbohydrates, and fats provides the best nutrition," says Dr. Cara. "Michael Phelps burns calories much faster than the rest of us, and it can be difficult for his body to keep up with those expenditures. Therefore, he can afford to eat foods--at least some of the time--that the rest of us try to avoid."
"My guess is that while he may indulge in pizza and pancakes and pasta before practices and meets, he probably eats his fair share of vegetables and fruits as well," she says.
Would you want your kid to train at such an early age?
Well, I think your write-up needs to specify that the "age 16" rule is for the gymnastics—each sport has it's own rules. For women's gymnastics, the teen must TURN 16 during the calendar year of the Olympics. So a 15 year old competing now, could turn 16 in December 2008 and still be allowed to compete in the Olympics. Diving has it's own age minimum requirements and so forth. When Nadia won the gold, she was only 14. That's because at that time, the rules were different than the current rule. The issue is not whether He Kexin had gold-worthy skills…clearly she's a top gymnast. The issue is whether or not it's fair to sneak in a 14 year old when all of the other countries who have top-notch 14 year olds aren't allowed to compete. It used to be if you were old enough to vault, you were old enough to go to the Olympics but the rules were put in place to keep essentially "children" who don't know the risks well enough, out of the Olympics. To me, that is fair. If He K. is underage, then she needs to lose her medal. I'll even go one step further and say that if the Chinese govt. purposely issued her passport knowing that they were falsifying it, then I think ALL of the Chinese athletes should lose their medals, too. Because this was probably not a case of an individual trying to break a rule, as we see when we have an individual using steroids. This is most likely a case of a govt. trying to put their best face forward, and using He K. as a tool to get there. This is dishonesty at the highest level and it should not be tolerated (if it is in fact, true).
To the question of would I want my child to train so hard this young? In the way they train in the US and Canada, where the kids live at home, sure. But not the way they do it in China, or Russia, where the kids go and live at these sports schools and only go home a couple of times a year. One of China's woman gymnasts said she hasn't been home in over a year, doesn't know if her parents even know that she is IN the Olympics, and doesn't even know if they are going to be watching the Olympics. How sad is that? As far as what Michael Phelps eats… I think he does eat for what his sport requires. Clearly, he's not fat. I would also suspect he's getting more health monitoring of the dangerous stuff like cholesterol count and so forth, than the average American. So I'm not going to judge what he puts in his mouth! More power to him.
The flaw in the logic of whether it's appropriate for 14-year old girls to perform in the Olympics due to the strenuous training they go through is that they would go through this training REGARDLESS of the Olympics because there are other competitions out there that require such training.
The Olympics is NOT the only event where gymnasts, ice skaters, divers etc perform. There are numerous other high-end competition events where these young people train. You think they'll somehow stop training because it's not the Olympics anymore??? That's a dumb way to think because then the 13, 14-year old girls will train still harder so that when they are of age they'll perform at the Olympics. It's not that hard to figure it out. Stop trying to grasp for excuses why the Chinese gymnasts should lose their gold.
If the Chinese gymnast team should lose their gold it should be be because of what Mary had said about other countries not putting their better 13-year old gymnasts in the Olympics (but I definitely don't agree that all Chinese Olympians should lose their gold. That was the most stupid suggestion I've ever heard of). But the fact is the damage has been done. The controversy over their age has been brought up well before the gymnastics competition, went on during the competition, went on after the competition… but nobody did anything until very recently by the IOF, and I say it's too late now. People had known about the controversy and only NOW they want to investigate??? Ridiculous.
Anyway, I think the article doesn't prove anything and means very little. Just because talented gymnasts won't be participating in the Olympics doesn't mean they would train less for other competitions and future Olympic games.
And btw, these sports camps where Chinese gymnasts live away from home may sound harsh and foreign to us but it's because the USA is not a country familiar with schools away from home. In Europe and other countries boarding schools are common where students don't go home every weekend and only see their families on holidays. It's not a surprise or shocking to me especially if talented gymnasts come from rural areas of China. I try not to think the whole world is like the little box I live in.
He Kexin SWEARS BLIND that she is 16 and the Chinese are saying all the reports are mistakes (at the same time their government is altering them). She either lied then or is lying now. Either way, it's not behavior fitting an Olympic gold medalist.
But I'm more afraid this will ruin the sport's reputation for those who love to follow it. Issuing licenses to follow these girls longer in their career is a good theory, but it doesn't stop the underlying problem. China could easily pick an entire team of unknown girls with no competition history and easily doctored backgrounds. I truly wonder if girls like He Kexin or Jiang Yuyuan will be too injured and stressed for London 2012.
As a mother it concerns me what these children go through in training. Yes, they are amazing and clearly would not get as far as they have without talent and yes, we should nurture and encourage our childrens talents. It would be great if these kids really and truly wanted this for themselves, that they still had time to be kids and no one pushed them beyond their limits. Of course, anyone thinking that would need a reality check, we all know what some parents can be like and I think that, as with everything, there is a mix here. Some really wanted it, some had no choice. Either way, I think there should be an age restriction that varies from sport to sport. This would not, however, keep parents from pushing their kids too far and wasting precious years of childhood.

Last week was busy for me even after defeating the Pulaski Technical College Millage Tax. I just found out that the Legislature of New York State rejected a magnet for illegal aliens. In-state tuition for illegal aliens was defeated by 1 vote earlier today. A Sandinista Communist was elected Mayor of New York City over a Libertarian not long ago in this blue state, so it was surprising to see this act of hispandering fail.
I was part of the grassroots effort to defeat the Republican and Democrat party leadership at the time and stop in-state tuition for illegal aliens in Arkansas. Since then, reforms by people like myself have resulted in the Republican Party of Arkansas rejecting in state tuition for illegal aliens. The failures of both political parties to deal with illegal immigration has resulted in independent movements like Remember1986 and Young Americans for Liberty. I attended the Young Americans for Liberty Arkansas Convention Saturday where I had to deal with the illegal alien issue. I'll write about that later. Details of this story are below.
Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe wants to make us more dependent on 3rd world energy.
What will happen when an illegal alien does this in Arkansas?
