The body responds to stress through a hormone system called the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Stimulation of this system results in the secretion of stress hormones (i.e., glucocorticoids). Chronic excessive glucocorticoid secretion can have adverse health effects, such as Cushing's syndrome. Alcohol intoxication activates the HPA axis and results in elevated glucocorticoid levels. Ironically, elevated levels of these stress hormones may contribute to alcohol's pleasurable effects. With chronic alcohol consumption, however, tolerance may develop to alcohol's HPA axis-activating effects. Chronic alcohol consumption, as well as chronic glucocorticoid exposure, can result in premature and/or exaggerated aging. Furthermore, the aging process affects a person's sensitivity to alcohol and HPA axis function. Thus, a three-way interaction exists among alcohol consumption, HPA axis activity, and the aging process. The aging process may impair the HPA axis' ability to adapt to chronic alcohol exposure. Fur thermore, HPA axis activation may contribute to the premature or exaggerated aging associated with chronic alcohol consumption. KEY WORDS: aging; glucocorticoids; hypothalamic-pituitary axis; pituitary-adrenal axis; chronic AODE (effects of AOD [alcohol or other drug] use, abuse, and dependence); hormones; physiological stress; BAC (blood alcohol concentration); AOD tolerance; reinforcement; biological adaptation; literature review
The fact that alcohol intoxication can relieve anxiety is well known. Paradoxically, those same intoxicating levels of alcohol also can induce excessive secretion of an important class of stress hormones, the glucocorticoids. (For a discussion of stress hormone production, see the sidebar entitled "Regulation of Stress Hormone Production," pp. 276--277.) Yet chronic alcohol exposure can trigger a tolerance to alcohol's effects on the body's stress response. For example, research has shown that healthy young rats can develop tolerance to alcohol's stimulatory effects on glucocorticoid secretion--that is, the animals respond to chronic alcohol use by producing smaller increases in glucocorticoid levels. This same effect also appears to occur in humans. Research also indicates, however, that aged rats are much less able than younger rats [1] to develop such tolerance (Spencer and McEwen 1997). Nonetheless, researchers do not know whether older humans likewise have a decreased ability to develop a tolerance to a lcohol's effects on stress hormones. Investigators do know, however, that chronic exposure in humans to both elevated glucocorticoid levels and alcohol produces symptoms resembling premature or exaggerated aging (Noonberg et al. 1985; Seeman and Robbins 1994).
This article examines the little-known, three-way relationship that exists among alcohol use and abuse, glucocorticoid secretion, and the aging process (see figure 1, p. 273). In particular, the article considers evidence that the glucocorticoid-based stress response system, as regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, plays a key role in the physiological and psychological responses to alcohol. The article also examines whether the stress hormone system contributes to age-related changes in a person's response to alcohol (e.g., a reduced ability to develop tolerance to alcohol's effects) and to alcohol-related changes in the aging process (e.g., nerve cell degeneration in some brain areas). By highlighting the overlap between these relationships, this article may spur further research on this important and complex topic.
Alcohol-Induced Stimulation of the HPA Axis
Extensive documentation exists indicating that alcohol consumption reduces anxiety while it simultaneously activates the stress hormones through the HPA axis (see figure 2, also see sidebar entitled "Regulation of Stress Hormone Production"). In humans and other animals, the magnitude and duration of the glucocorticoid response depend on the amount of alcohol consumed (Spencer and McEwen 1990; Veldman and Meinders 1996). In response to alcohol, the levels of cortisol--the chief glucocorticoid hormone in humans--can be substantial and even surpass the levels typically seen in response to various stressful circumstances (Mendelson et al. 1971). Interestingly, blood alcohol concentrations (BACs) below 0.1 percent appear to have little effect on HPA axis activation (Jenkins and Connolly 1968). Furthermore, the 0.1 percent level has been (and in some States continues to be) considered a threshold for alcohol-related impairment and intoxication.
In addition to BACs, the extent to which alcohol leads to HPA axis activation appears to depend on genetic factors. Such a genetic influence is evident in people who have inherited a defective form of a particular gene that is involved in alcohol metabolism. Inheritance of this defective gene, which is especially prevalent among people of Asian descent, disallows the body to metabolize alcohol normally. [2] People with the defective gene show significantly elevated blood cortisol levels, even at BACs below 0.1 percent (Wallet al. 1994). Other studies have found a greater HPA axis response to relatively low alcohol doses in people without family histories of alcoholism (Schuckit et al. 1996). This finding further supports the potential influence of genetic factors on the relationship between alcohol consumption and HPA activity.
The specific mechanism by which alcohol leads to HPA axis activation and elevated cortisol levels has not been condusively established. One possibility is that alcohol disinhibits the HPA axis. In general, alcohol depresses nervous system activity. If some alcohol-sensitive nerve cells (i.e., neurons), in turn, exert inhibitory effects on the HPA axis, then the net effect of alcohol exposure would be HPA axis activation. A second possibility is that the HPA axis may be activated in response to certain stimulus properties of alcohol as part of a more coordinated, "whole body" stress response. Thus, a certain "body wisdom" may recognize alcohol intoxication as stressful despite the concurrent reduced sense of anxiety.
Tolerance to Alcohol's Stimulatory Effects on the HPA Axis
People who repeatedly expose themselves to alcohol or other drugs develop, over time, tolerance to certain effects--in other words, these people experience lesser effects with the same dose or require higher doses to achieve the same effect. For example, tolerance develops to alcohol-related sedation, motor incoor-dinarion, and memory impairment (Poulos et al. 1981). Similarly, studies have shown that animals can develop tolerance to alcohors HPA axis-activating effects. For example, rats exposed to high alcohol doses daily for several weeks had an increase in the levels of corticosterone--the chief glucocorricoid hormone in animals--on day 14 that was only about one-half the increase observed on day 1 (Spencer and McEwen 1990). This tolerance development could nor be explained by a change over time in their bodies' ability to absorb or metabolize alcohol (i.e., development of metabolic tolerance), because the BAGs achieved on day 14 were as high as those achieved on day 1 with the same alcohol dose.
However, researchers have not thoroughly studied the extent to which tolerance to alcohol's stimulatory effects on the HPA axis develops in humans. In one study, alcohol administration to five alcoholics did nor induce a significant increase in corrisol levels in the blood, even though the subjects' BACs surpassed 0.1 percent (Merry and Marks 1969). [3] Conversely, alcohol administration produced a substantial increase in cortisol levels in three of five purportedly nonalcoholic men in the study, suggesting that the alcoholics developed at least some degree of tolerance. (Interestingly, the two nonalcoholic men who did not show a significant cortisol response to alcohol on further questioning revealed an extensive history of recent alcohol use.)

Force India, the Formula One team co-owned by liquor baron Vijay Mallya, fielded two young drivers, Roldan Rodriguez and Giedo van der Garde, for the fourth and final day of testing at Circuit de Jereze, Spain, but still struggled for pace as the F1 circus went into a winter break here.
The teams will return to Jerez on January 14 for the first test session of 2008 season.
Van der Garde, the 22-year old Dutchman, on Friday clocked a best of 1:22:321 seconds over 81 laps while Spaniard Rodriguez, 24, had a 1:22:508 while completing the same number of laps, according to information reaching here.
Force India team deployed seven drivers over four days of testing, but the list, significantly, did not include the highly-rated 24-year old Germany Adrian Sutil, who is likely to bag one of the two race seats.
Among those who tested over the first three days were veterans Giancarlo Fisichella (Italy, 32) and Ralf Schumacher (Germany, 35) both without a team for the 2008 season, Vitantonio Liuzzi (Italy, 27), Frank Montagny (France, 29) and Christian Klien (Austria, 24).
Topping the timesheet was Sebastian Vettel (Toro Rosso) who clocked 1:18:213 on slick tyres while Robert Kubica (BMW Sauber) was second quickest (1:18:410), ahead of Nico Rosberg (Williams, 1:18:796) and Michael Schumacher (Ferrari, 1:19.136 secs).
A release from Force India said that over four days, the team covered over 2,600 kilometres as it worked through an extensive programme of chassis development, evaluation of the new 2008 standard electronics package and testing the 2009 'slick' development Bridgestone Potenza tyres for the first time.
Mallya, chairman of the team said: "The test has been a very fruitful one for the team. Not only have we demonstrated the strong potential of the team by attracting five highly talented drivers to test for us, it's also been very motivating for the team to have the benefit of their experience to help develop the car. "This week has had a very positive impact on the motivation of the mechanics, engineers and all involved and has shown the sporting community that we are serious about what Force India wants to achieve in F1."
It's not all glamour for the Formula One drivers who endure demanding conditions while in the cockpit. They're subjected to incredible wear-and-tear. HT reveals their fitness regimens.

Mike Perish catapulted Indiana State into its first win of the season with four touchdown passes and one rushing in the 70-7 victory against Quincy Saturday.
Perish was 23 of 26 for a career-high 379 yards passing before leaving the field five minutes into the third quarter after setting up a 49-0 cushion for the Sycamores (1-2).
Robert Tonyan Jr. replaced Perish and threw for 54 yards to give Indiana State the final numbers needed to set a school record of 433 total yards passing.
Nick Lonergan struggled with Quincy's offense, completing just 12 of 26 passes for 107 yards and one interception.
The Hawks (0-2) relied heavily on Jared King's 19 carries for 75 yards rushing. King picked up Quincy's only touchdown with two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.
Indiana State's 70-point game marks the most points the Sycamores have scored in Memorial Stadium.

feature The Music lesson T
The Art of Music
The optical devices employed by Vermeer in 'The Music Lesson' suggest that the painting is an homage to music. It goes on show this month at London's Dulwich Picture Gallery, which is unveiling a different masterpiece every month to celebrate its 200th anniversary
Writer desmond shawe-Taylor he world created in Vermeer's The Music Lesson (c. 1644) can be described with reasonable confidence. A room with a floor of marble tiles, a ceiling of timber beams and walls of white-washed plaster is lit by windows of a common design in Delft; the deep lower casing contains frames opening inwards and shutters opening outwards; the fixed upper lights are flush with the external wall (Fig. 1).
The room contains a virginal, a small instrument of the harpsichord family with the same action (strings plucked by quills), but housed in a simple box. The lid of the box opens and the front drops to reveal a keyboard lying to the right (making it in this case a 'muselar' virginal), meaning that the strings are plucked at their mid point giving a clear and mellow sound. The virginal has no legs of its own but rests on a table. This particular instrument can be identified by comparison with many surviving examples as the work of the Ruckers family of Antwerp, dating from the first half of the 17th century.1
The painting-within-a-painting can be identified as a treatment of the subject of Roman Charity, probably by Dirck van Baburen (c. 1595–1624), of which a version sold at Sotheby's (16 December 1999, no. 350).2 The imprisoned old man Cimon can just be made out in Vermeer's transcription, bald-headed with his hands tied behind his back, while the turbaned head glimpsed above belongs to Pero, the daughter who saved him from starving by feeding him at her breast. This work may be the 'painting of one who suckles the breast' recorded in the collection of the family of Vermeer's motherin-law, Maria Thins.3 However, it is difficult to imagine original viewers making this iconographic identification unless the painting were already known to them.
The remaining objects in the room can be simply listed: two chairs, a bass viol, a mirror, a Turkish rug on a table, a silver platter on top of which sits a ceramic jug of identical design to that used to serve wine in Vermeer's A Lady and Two Gentlemen of around 1662 (Herzog Anton Ulrich-Museum; Fig. 2). A fine and decorously dressed lady stands playing the virginal (without music), while a soberly dressed gentleman, with sword and cane, stands beside her with his hand on the instrument. He is clearly too aristocratic to teach music and yet his position suggests participation rather than mere enjoyment,

Please stop the suckoutsFriday, February 29th, 2008
Seems like I've been focussing on suckouts on this blog way too much — sorry about that — but I'm going to try one more time, the last time for February, I PROMISE!
Anyway, 24$ 6-seater S&G, Full Tilt Poker, No Limit Hold'em — I get dealt KK in the very first hand. I raise 4BB, one call, SB Villain re-raises minimum, I shove in half my stack — he calls. Flop AJ4 rainbow. SB shoves, I fold. Villian shows A9.Blergh.
I'm now the short stack. Hand #8 and I pick up QQ. I'm under the gun after the blinds, and shove right away. One caller in the BB, shows JJ. The turn brings the jack. Tourney finished.
Played two hands.
Oh the beautiful game of poker, especially with me on tilt.
Losing AA vs. Q9 — pre-flop all-inThursday, January 3rd, 2008
I'm NOT going to turn this into my own little persional poker blog on which I complain about the bad beats I encounter while playing online poker and live poker in the casinos in the neighborhood — but this one was so sick I just can't get over it.
Second hand of the night — everyone has their initial buy-in of about $1000 in front of them, and I pick up a couple of aces on the button. I have a raise in front of me, and one caller (under the gun raised 3BB — call middle position) — so I decided to re-raise about 8BB. The initial raiser made an instafold — middle position re-raised me the minimum. The pot was about $250 at that point, so I decided to go for the pot with the rest of my chips.
When the other side of the table started doubting — i put him on a middle pair — nines, tens — a hand I would probably fold if I were him — but playable none the less…
After about two minutes, the guy says: "nah, you don't have it" — and he calls. I instashow my aces, and he says: "well, I"m on the draw" — and show me Q9 O/S.
Flop comes — A93 rainbow. Great — i'm well-ahead now. The turn makes my full house — another nine. My opponent is dead to the case nine. The river brings… A FRIGGING 9.
YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME. Opponent starts making noise and yells about how great he is — he just KNEW it… Awesome, dude! Anyway — I don't mind aces being cracked — I do when it's by a freaking one-outer on the river…
Oh well….

I was just doing my job. … It was a crazy day, but I'm thankful that I made it home safe.NYC Detective Marcelo Razzo • Humbly taking credit for his role in stopping serial stabbing suspect Maksim Gelman yesterday morning. Razzo was one of three cops who helped subdue the man suspected in a series of murders, carjackings and assorted other violent acts. Razzo was off-duty – and just happened to be on the train – when he helped stop the suspect, who was dramatically caught on a subway train underneath Times Square. Razzo ran from the third car to the first to help subdue him. Good work. Better response. source (via • follow)
New York to ban smoking in Central Park, Times Square and the beaches, including Coney Island

I won't smoke in your outdoor cafes because it's not fair to non-smokers, and to be completely honest it is super great being able to come home from a bar smelling only of beer.
But explain to me how exactly you are going to ban smoking in Times Square.

He solved the problem within one day adn even without any costs.
Without my code editing the form worked straight away..
Thank you!!
But, about this extension: initially, it didn't worked, e-mails could not be send, even if it looked like it. Built in Joomla CF worked for me, so it wasn't an issue with Joomla as a whole (version 2.5.7.)
I contacted developer of this extension and few hours later, I've got response from him. Of course, I had to provide FTP and Joomla access to him (changed the password).
But, day later, I'vegot another message that JDContact on my site works!
So, I had to say: great extension, great support. This is not so common with other developers.
Recommended, if you don't need some advanced functionality (why would you?! it sends the message and that counts!)
Afterwards, I finally got to download the extension and it works very well. I do not have many modules installed, but I am running a Google Maps module on the same page and it doesn't conflict at all.
Suggestion in regards to extension: Allow modifications to the Submit button (font, style, color, etc)
1. labels are not rendered, instead I get "MOD_JDCONTACT_NAME" and similars.
2. Unable to send anything.
3. Unable to remove "required" from fields.
Support response is good, but they asked me ftp access to the site. Not possible because I'm on localhost, however, I would not have provided ftp data.
But there is one thing the developer missed here.... which is very important for any site... CAPTCHA... if this would have captcha it would be even better.. anyway I'm still rating it as excellent as it really is.
This is an awsome extension for the comment form in joomla website, easily flexible and simple form. I had a requirement for my client that he was needed one feedback form containing some extra fields like Address,City,Zipcode and Country fields etc. I was simply able to customize this form for my requirement. Thumbs up from my side!!
Totaly recomendable! and very quick support from the stuff which is extra-valuaded!

Opinion: Downsizing in Asia?

Change: the great balancing act
23 June 2014
UK or US law firm leaders operating in Asia should consider carefully the downsizing strategies used and how these are affected by the cultural nuances of the region.
Downsizing is a peculiar strategy because, despite unequivocal evidence that downsized firms do not outperform non-downsized firms, it is often a first resort for management when profits start to decline. Research also shows that downsizing does not cut costs.
Downsizing has many euphemisms, but at the end of the day it is meant to deliver returns in financial and organisational performance. One of the major reasons that it does not deliver in those areas is that firms approach downsizing in a workforce reduction manner as opposed to a systemic manner.
In other words, there is no strategy that deals with the culture of the firm, productivity, and work processes, and hence those left in the firm are left de-motivated and unproductive.
The fact that law firms are notorious for their short-term thinking and lack of strategic decision making suggests that further layoffs are inevitable in this sector as performance problems caused by inflated staff numbers, aggressive expansion and over-reliance on key sectors such as banking will not be tackled in a bottom up, systemic manner.
The indirect costs of downsizing, such as loss of firm memory and the impact on knowledge management, is of particular importance to knowledge based industries like legal services.
Another issue at hand for law firms is the insular and often secretive management practices they seem to believe are crucial to maintaining the integrity of the professions. According to Wayne Cascio, an advisor to the US labour department, the failure of firms to be open and honest about downsizing has a negative impact on the outcomes of any such initiative. Additionally, the failure to involve staff and set clear objectives is another major factor that causes the failure of downsizing programmes.
Aside from these critical issues, there is another pressing need facing US and UK law firms based in Asia - that of cultural differences and how this affects the process and outcomes of downsizing.
One of the key differences between Western and Asian cultures is that Western societies are highly individualistic whereas Asian ones are collectivist. For example, many Western law firms have been moving towards merit based partner compensation systems (although UK firms still tend to use lockstep systems) to overcome the inherent problems related to uneven contribution of partner efforts.
On the other hand, many law firms in Asia are moving back towards the lockstep system of compensation due to the collectivist cultural and economic ideologies that societies such as China value. In a downsizing context, the choice of people to let go becomes cloudy as Western firms will look at the relative performance and contribution of individual professionals and decide who to let go.
Indeed, the performance appraisal systems used by Western firms tend to focus on objective and individual attributes whereas those favoured in collectivist societies such as China and Hong Kong are concerned with processes as opposed to the purely outcome based assessments used in the west.
This can have a significant impact on the perceived fairness of the downsizing - and fairness affects the psychological status of both victims and survivors. Research by Chung Ming Lau and Hang Yue Ngo in the Journal of International Business Studies demonstrated that Chinese are less accepting of personal and individual level organisational development interventions and that is exactly what most western firms practise in their downsizing interventions.
The authors go on to say that group level or task based intervention is most appropriate for collectivist cultures. However, such approaches are least used by western organisations.
UK or US law firm leaders operating in Asia should remember that job satisfaction and work commitment has a significant impact on firm performance.

David Wayne O'dell, 31, of 1342 Sharps Lane, Caryville wasn't having sweet dreams when he made the Tennessee Bureau of Investigations Top Ten Most Wanted list around 11 am Monday morning.
And he didn't seem to disagree when police arrived approximately six hours later to place him under arrest.
"The TBI was more than happy to put him on the list due to the charges we had against him," according to LaFollette Police Lt. Jeff Allen.
Parents will get a break and businesses will get a boost as a result of next weekend's state sales tax holiday.
The holiday is slated to begin on Friday Aug. 7 at 12:01 p.m., and continue through the weekend until 11:59 p.m., on Aug. 9, according to the Tennessee Department of Revenue (TDR).
Taking less than two hours to seat a jury, the homicide trial of accused murderer Sammy Miracle got underway.
Miracle is the last of three defendants to face the judicial system for his alleged part in the 2006 death of Jonathan Pierce.
Miranda Kirby, who has been named as Miracle's girlfriend at the time was found guilty last summer for her part in Pierce's death. She was later sentenced to life behind bars. Travis Gaylor, her half brother, later pled guilty to his crimes and is awaiting sentencing.
Having no new money to work with, commissioners breezed through its first night of budget talks last Thursday.
After receiving a vote in the affirmative from school board members just two days earlier, Jeff Marlow, county finance director, presented the board of education for final commission approval.
"This budget is compliant with the no growth budget of the commission. I give my strongest recommendation that you approve it," Marlow told the group.
Over the course of two meetings, members of the budget and finance committee finished discussing and approving the 2009-10-budget proposal.
The proposal, presented by Campbell County Finance Director Jeff Marlow, is "very much a flat budget."
"We've never had a situation in my 17 or 18 cycles where there wasn't a little bit of money in there-but that's all gone," Marlow said.
The lack of available funding left commissioners little choice but to approve the bare bones budget proposal.
An anonymous call led to the arrest of John Wesley Cox Jr., 41, of Duff, on July 20 for child neglect.
Campbell County Sheriff's Deputy Jeremy Myers responded to the tip, which led him to the Duff residence.
Myers knocked on the door for 10 minutes before Cox answered for him to enter, according to the sheriff's report.
At Monday night's LaFollette Utilities Board (LUB) meeting, members discussed bids for the line construction projects, which are taking place in Norris Point and Flat Hollow.
The projects are large and involve not only tree trimming, but pole setting as well, which is why the utilities is contracting the work out.
"I hate having to contract it out, but we're in that situation," said LUB General Manager Kenny Baird. He explained that the Norris Point project would involve setting around 100 poles, all by the end of November.
Just as at last month's workshop, LaFollette City Councilman Hansford Hatmaker was clear what he wanted on the agenda for next week's meeting- the city administrator's contract.
City Attorney Reid Troutman told Hatmaker, the council had previously been advised not to proceed with any action regarding David Young's contract because of pending litigation. Troutman said the lawsuit between Young and LaFollette Mayor Mike Stanfield and city recorder Linda White should be disposed of first.
It has been over 20 years since David G. Young was convicted for attempting to possess marijuana.
And despite his belief he had paid for those crimes, others are not seeing it that way.
On Tuesday, Jenny Siler didn't get her day in court.
Instead, she was left sitting at a table with only half of her defense team present.
Before Siler could be arraigned on narcotics charges she incurred last month, Herb Moncier, one of her attorneys had filed a motion on her behalf. He was seeking to suppress alleged evidence found during Siler's recent arrest along with any statements she may have made to LaFollette Police.

Getting Involved: On Campus Jobs
While a student at USC, many of you might consider getting a job on campus. USC provides a host of resources such as the campus career center that help students find jobs both on and off campus.
During my freshman and sophomore years, I found a job on campus in order to get some cash in my pocket to fund a snowboarding trip to Mammoth Mountain. Before coming to USC I was an AYSO soccer referee, and upon my arrival I found out that I could get a job as a soccer referee for intramural soccer leagues through the Lyon Center.
The Lyon Center made it easy for me to get in touch with the people in charge of the intramural sports, and within a couple of weeks I was on the field working as a soccer referee. The process of getting the job included a referee orientation that covered some basic rules, some tax paperwork and a brief meeting with the campus career services to get all my legal paperwork in order before I was officially hired. That being said, it was a quick and painless hiring process and USC made it easy for me to find an on campus job that was relevant to my interests.

Q&A: If a woman has an alcohol problem and is planning to conceive, when should she stop drinking?
If a woman has a severe alcohol problem and is planning to conceive, how long before conception should she stop drinking?
Unfortunately, there is no good data to answer this question. One study involving in-vitro fertilization (IVF) patients found that alcohol use by women up to one month before the IVF cycle resulted in less eggs retrieved, lower pregnancy rates, and higher miscarriage rates. There is no data that has looked at longer time intervals.
At this time, the best recommendation is to stop alcohol use at least one month before attempting to conceive.

Chapter 51 Reviews
my chemical romance.
I laughed, "Well that's Jack Black for you"
Me, Kelly, Dan and Jason has spent our Saturday together at the movies. I needed time out anyway.
"Well, that's it for me guys" Kelly said when we stood outside the cinemas in the dark.
"You're going?" I asked.
She nodded sadly.
"Aww don't go! Don't leave me as a third wheel!"
She pouted her bottom lip, "I'm so sorry Mel. My mum's waiting in the car" she hugged me tight. "Bye!" she waved at us.
I waved dramatically, "Buh bye my love!"
She giggled before she got in the car.
"Wow Mel you should be gay like us" Dan said.
I laughed. "So what are we gonna do now?"
Dan shrugged and looked at Jason.
"Um… Gerard and the others are in a band… they're going to perform at this café down the street tonight" Jason shrugged.
My eyes widened as I remembered Gerard saying something about a band at some café or something along those lines.
Dan looked at me and grinned. "Sure, we'll go"
I pressed my lips together and frowned at Dan.
"It'll be fine" he reassured me and patted my back; slightly pushing me to walk.
I sighed and followed them down the crowded street.
I grabbed Dan's arm as we entered the dark café that was full of emos, Goths and punks. I felt weird. I felt scared. I felt left out. Why would a popular girl like me be here anyway? I didn't wanna be a loser like them.
"Dan, why don't we just go" I suggested to him before we sat in the back corner.
"Mel, it will be fine. I just wanna see what this Gerard guy is like outside of the school" he said as he looked at the empty stage.
I scoffed and watched the stage. The crews were finishing setting up the drums and microphone.
About 15 minutes later, everyone was quiet as they watched the stage. I looked up at the stage and watched for any signs of movement. Five guys walked onto the stage, 3 of them grabbed their guitars while one unknown guy grabbed his drumsticks as he sat behind the drums. I was surprised as I nearly gasped when I saw Gerard who somehow looked hot in his usually black clothing with the stage lights shining on him. He held the microphone and stared into the crowd.
"Hey everyone, we're My Chemical Romance" Gerard spoke into the microphone.
Some people cheered.
"This song is called 'cubicles'" he announced and the guitars started to play.
"It's the tearing sound of love-notes
Drowning out these gray stained windows
And the view outside is sterile
And I'm only two cubes down
I'd photocopy all the things that we could be
If you took the time to notice me
But you can't now, I don't blame you
And it's not your fault that no one ever does
But you don't work here anymore
It's just a vacant three by four
And they might fill your place
A temporary stand-in for your face
This happens all the time
And I can't help but think I'll die alone
So I'll spend my time with strangers
A condition and it's terminal
In this water-cooler romance
And it's coming to a close
We could be in the park and dancing by a tree
Kicking over blades we see
Or a dark beach with a black view
And pin-pricks in the velvet catch our fall
I know you don't work here anymore [x6]
Sometimes I think I'll die alone, sometimes I think I'll die alone
Sometimes I think I'll die alone, live and breathe and die alone
Sometimes I think I'll die alone, sometimes I think I'll die alone
Sometimes I think I'll die alone, I'd think I'd love to die alone
Just take
I think I'd love to die
Me down
I think I'd love to die
Just take
I think I'd love to die
Me down
I think I'd love to die alone [x4]
Live and breathe and die alone
I think I'd love to die alone [x2]
I think I'd love to die alone"
To be honest, I was blown away by his voice. I sat up with my jaw slightly open as the guitars played the end part of the song. This is Gerard singing? Is this how he feels? He has a breathtaking voice.
"They're quiet amazing huh?" Jason asked.
I nodded without taking my eyes off Gerard. "They are amazing"
Before I had anything else to say Gerard started to speak again.
"Thank you. This next song" his eyes stared into mine, "Is about a girl that I recently met, we didn't get off the right side and I know we wont end up together" he gazed at the crowd, "But I could always imagine what it would be like if we were. This song is called 'Demolition Lovers'"
"Hand in mine, into your icy blues
And then I'd say to you we could take to the highway
With this trunk of ammunition too
I'd end my days with you in a hail of bullets
I'm trying, I'm trying
To let you know just how much you mean to me
And after all the things we put each other through and
I would drive on to the end with you
A liquor store or two keeps the gas tank full
And I feel like there's nothing left to do
But prove myself to you and we'll keep it running
But this time, I mean it
I'll let you know just how much you mean to me
As snow falls on desert sky
Until the end of everything
I'm trying, I'm trying
To let you know how much you mean
As days fade, and nights grow
And we go cold
Until the end, until this pool of blood
Until this, I mean this, I mean this
Until the end of...
I'm trying, I'm trying
To let you know how much you mean
As days fade, and nights grow
And we go cold
But this time, we'll show them
We'll show them all how much we mean
As snow falls on desert sky
Until the end of every...
All we are, all we are
Is bullets I mean this
As lead rains, will pass on through our phantoms
Forever, forever
Like scarecrows that fuel this flame we're burning
Forever, and ever
Know how much I want to show you you're the only one
Like a bed of roses there's a dozen reasons in this gun
And as we're falling down, and in this pool of blood
And as we're touching hands, and as we're falling down
And in this pool of blood, and as we're falling down
I'll see your eyes, and in this pool of blood
I'll meet your eyes, I mean this forever"
I breathed out the breath that I was holding. "Wow" was all I said.
Dan looked awestruck like me. "These guys are cool! So um… why did you hate Gerard again?"
"I don't know" I said mesmerized. "But I bet the girl is real lucky" I giggled.
He nodded in agreement.
"Thank you" Gerard said, "That's all of us for tonight. Thank you for coming"
We cheered as they escaped the stage.
A while later I realized where I was. The songs kinda brought me into a trance where I didn't know what I was doing.
"Dan lets go please" I nudged him.
He sighed and excused himself and left his boyfriend alone who was going backstage to meet the band and walked out with me.
"I'm sorry Dan I pouted my bottom lip.
"Aww… its cool" he smiled.
I grinned.
He suddenly halted.
"What?" I asked.
"Shit, I forgot my phone! Do you want to come to the café with me to get it?" he asked.
I shook my head. I didn't want to get back there.
"Ok, I'll be back babe" he blew me a kiss before he ran off down the street to the café.
I sighed and kept my eyes searching for any danger surrounding me. It wasn't cool for a fragile girl to stand alone in the streets in the dark.
"Hey Mel" I heard Matt from behind me, he sounded drowsy. Where did he come from? I was sure I didn't see him in that café. Well he wouldn't be there anyway.
I turned quickly with my eyes wide open in fear.
"I never thought I would see you" he stumbled to me.
I nodded, as I slowly took a step back.
"Don't get scared babe. I'm not that drunk" he stepped towards me as he checked me out.
Wrong. I've seen him slightly drunk and he wasn't like a pervert like now.
"I'm not scared. I just need get somewhere quickly that's all" I lied.
"Oh really now. I won't take a minute. I just needed to ask you something"
"What is it?" I asked but still stepped back.
"Why don't you want me sweetie?"
"Because I don't"
"But why? Am I not hot enough?" he smirked.
"No it's not that"
"Oh… you think I can't give you hardcore pleasure huh?"
"No…" I knew where this was going to. I realized that he was inches away from me.
He grabbed my arms and pushed me to the wall.
"Um… Matt I need to go now" I tried not to put fear in my voice.
"No honey. It hasn't been a minute yet" he breathed on my neck. The awful smell of alcohol hit
my nose.
I tried to push him off but it didn't work as he came closer if it was possible. My legs froze and shivered when he ran his hand up my thighs. I cursed myself silently for wearing a short denim skirt.
"Matt! Get off me! Leave me alone!" I screamed loud enough for a passerby to hear and save me.
"No honey, just once" his fingers tugged onto my underwear.
"No!" I tried to push him off me but my arm was jammed in between our bodies.
"Come on, you're a whore. You wouldn't mind"
"No! I'm not a… I do mind!" I screamed. I wasn't even a whore!
"Hey Matt! Leave her alone!" a silhouette of a man appeared and smashed Matt off me which made me fall hard on the floor from Matt still gripping onto my underwear which was now down around my ankles.
I slipped my underwear off and stumble up. I took major steps away from him.
The man didn't stop there, he ran and gave Matt punches and kicks.
I panted as I watched Matt grunt and groan at every hit. I couldn't move, I couldn't get away from all this.
Matt lay unconscious on the floor and the man stood back up and turned to me.
I gaped as I recognized him, "Gerard?" where did he come from? How did he know I was in danger?
"Are you ok?" he asked when he walked up to me.
I nodded slowly. He didn't sound like the Gerard in school. He sounded… normal… if that could describe it.
"Do you wanna go back to Dan in the café?"
I didn't answer from my shock. Tears fell down my face. I felt dirty and sick.
I was dazed and didn't realize hat I was doing at the time. When my senses came back I noticed that Gerard had his arms around me as we sat on the floor while I I cried in his chest.
I wiped my tears and let go of him, "Thank you" I said quietly.
"It's ok. So is he your boyfriend?" he asked.
I shook my head, "no, he's just one of those guys that want me"
"Oh..." he nodded.
"You were amazing, the songs were amazing" I decided that I should change the subject and somehow compliment him.
He grinned, "Thanks"
"Did you write the lyrics?"
"Yea" he looked down at his worn out jeans.
"Wow, you are amazing"
"You mean you like the songs that we played?" he looked back up.
"And the last song that I sang?"
"Yea, the one about the girl that you like?"
He nodded.
"I love it. Seems to bring your soft side"
He grinned as he blushed.
"So who is the lucky girl that you sang that sing for anyway?"
"You wouldn't wanna know" he blushed deeper.
"Tell me" I pleaded.
"You'll have to guess"
I sighed and thought, "Was she in the crowd?"
"Yep" he nodded.
"Does she know that you like her?"
"Nope" he shook his head.
"Tell her before its too late"
"But she doesn't like me back"
"How do you know that?"
"Well for one I was a bitch to her and she was a bitch to me. She thinks I'm some emo faggot" he watched my reaction.
Wow, I wasn't the only one that thought of him like that. "Oh…" I pressed my lips
together, "But she maybe might've changed her mind"
"You think?"
"You'll only know if you ask her"
He sighed, "Yea I'll tell her later"
"You better"
We sat in silence for a moment just looking around the dark street.
"It's really late now, you wanna go back?"
I nodded and we stood up.
"Gerard don't tell anyone about what happened" I said.
"Um… which one? The assault that Matt did or you and me talking?" he asked.
"The assault" I gazed down.
"Why?" he looked concerned.
"Because I don't want to make a big deal out of it"
He nodded, "And um… you wanna get my spare jeans too?"
My eyes widened as I realized that he knew that I didn't have any underwear. I nodded hiding my face from his view.
When we were back at the half empty, Dan was making out with Jason. I sighed and followed Gerard. My heart surprisingly stopped when Gerard held my hand as we got up the really narrow stairs to back stage.
The other guys in the band looked relieved that they saw Gerard.
"Dude where were you?" the blonde big guy asked.
"Oh… I was… getting for some air" he said and let go of my hand.
The guy that I saw with Gerard once, the one that was short raised an eyebrow when he saw Gerard letting go of my hand.
Gerard ran to his black bag and pulled out his black skinny jeans and handed it to me. "There's a toilet just behind you, you can change there" he said under his breath.
I nodded obediently.
I pulled on his pants and it was a tinsy bit loose on me. I looked at myself in the mirror. My blonde once perfect hair was all over the place. I looked like one of them except my bright pink singlet was out of order. I got out of the toilet and watched Gerard until noticed that I was out.
"Wow, you should wear skinnies more often" he smiled.
I shrugged and caught the blonde guy giving me a hard look. "I'm gonna… go back to Dan now" I said.
Gerard pressed his thin lips together. "Ok, I'll see you Monday then"
I gave a little wave to him and went downstairs. I raised my eyebrows when I heard Gerard talk to the band.
"You didn't have to make her uncomfortable. If only you knew what she just went through" he said.
He was defending me. I was going to stand there and try and analyze each word he said but I didn't. Instead I went to Dan who finally finished making out with Jason and told him that I needed to go home.
"Are you ok honey?" Dan asked when he stood up to leave.
I nodded. "Let's just go"
Jason stood up too. "I'm coming too"
We all exited the café that I hoped that no one would have seen me in.
Anyways... what i've noticed is that heaps of people reads but doesnt review...
i cant believe you guys can be slack
cries i'm not loved anymore!
just pretty please just send me a review
if you want a single word will be fine really.

Bump Watch: Craving a little? That's OK!
LANE COUNTY, Ore.- Sweet, salty, savory.
Maybe it's french fries, ice cream or pickles.
Yes, we're talking pregnancy cravings.
A local dietitian says you should give in to those cravings. "The occasional craving and indulgence is normal and can still be part of that healthy food relationship," says Jamie Skiles with Cascade Health Solutions.
Skiles says eating habits do change during pregnancy as your body needs frequent meals and snacks in smaller portions.
It's important to still follow the same eating principles. That means, Skiles says, eating foods rich in vitamins such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins and whole grains. So, the 'eating for two' philosophy doesn't really apply.
There's so much to think about as you wait for your baby's arrival and cooking a healthy meal may be the last thing on your mind. "It's like going to the grocery store but instead coming home with all your meals assembled," says Marilyn Helms, owner of Dinners Done Right.
Helms says her store is a one stop shop. You pick your meals for the month, visit the store in Springfield, assemble your meals and take them home to store in the freezer. "What we really want to do is get people back to the table because all the research shows that children who eat at home as a family, even as few as three times a week, do better in school, have less problems with drugs and even less teenage pregnancy or changes of the picking up smoking," adds Helms.
Dinners Done Right offers 12 different meals every month and all the ingredients are organized for you to drop in bags.
It's just one more way to help keep you and baby healthy.

In 1905, the U.S. Geological Survey assigned François E. Matthes to make a large-scale (1:24,000) map of Yosemite Valley. The classic Yosemite Special map which resulted enhanced Matthes' well-established reputation as a master topographer, but paradoxically it contributed to his decision to discontinue topographic surveying. His sojourn among the sublime but imperfectly understood features of the "Incomparable Valley" had confirmed a conviction that his deepest interest lay in studying the genesis of landforms rather than in depicting them on topographic maps. Matthes' decision in favor of geology was not the result of any sudden impulse. He had long been a serious student of glacial geomorphology and geology, he had published papers in these fields, and he had spent a year at Harvard University taking advanced courses under William Morris Davis, the "father of geomorphology." The opportunity to engage in geologic work on a full-time basis came in 1913, in which year Matthes was officially transferred from the Topographic Branch of the Survey to the Geologic Branch.
The Yosemite mapping project had other far-reaching consequences. Quite logically, the first geologic assignment given Matthes was to return to Yosemite to investigate the origin of this celebrated valley, a subject which had been a matter of controversy ever since the Whitney surveys in the 1860's. Matthes' painstaking research eventually produced USGS Professional Paper 160, "The Geologic History of Yosemite Valley," a monograph of great and enduring significance.
As his Yosemite investigations progressed, Matthes felt the need for testing his tentative conclusions by comparative study of other valleys in the Sierra Nevada that, presumably, had had much the same history. Therefore he extended his field studies into several major drainage basins of the west slope. These studies, besides serving their immediate purpose, opened up many new geological vistas, some of which involved fundamental questions pertaining to the Sierra Nevada as a whole.
After the Yosemite report was published, Matthes gave renewed attention to these broader problems and during the 1930's he made a succession of geological reconnaissances, particularly in the central and southern Sierra Nevada. On these explorations he employed whatever means were practicable. For the most part, he depended on pack trips, a mode of transportation at which he had become expert from many years of topographic surveying. "Packing in" enabled him to establish camps in remote regions otherwise inaccessible because they were far from railroads, roads, and even trails. Areas surrounding his base camps were explored on horseback or on foot. In the later years, when better roads were available, he got about also by car. On one occasion, in 1936, he employed a chartered plane to make an aerial survey of the High Sierra in the Mount Whitney region. (His companion on this trip was Conrad Wirth, later Director of the National Park Service.)
The difficulties of the Sierra terrain make Matthes' accomplishments in covering the territory all the more impressive. There were few parts of the Sierra Nevada, especially throughout the middle and upper reaches of the broad west slope, which he did not come to know firsthand. The times demanded much such reconnaissance work, and a number of geologists became highly proficient at it. Matthes was outstandingly successful in making geological surveys in mountainous regions.
The results of Matthes' Sierra studies were summarized in several general papers. However, he earnestly desired to report more fully on certain specific areas. This hope was never realized. Though he worked on several longer papers whenever he could do so, the opportunities were infrequent, for other assignments of more immediate urgency if not greater importance generally took precedence. Thus he came to regard the completion of these reports as something that would have to wait until after his retirement. On June 30, 1947, he did retire, and he moved to California; but the following year, before he was fairly started with his writing, he suffered a brief and fatal illness.
Matthes had entered into negotiations with the University of California Press for the writing of two books intended for the general public. In 1949, at the request of the publisher and Mrs. Matthes, I endeavored to carry out these plans; and consequently, in 1950, two works were published (Matthes, 1950a, b) in connection with observance of the Centennial Year of California. In the Geological Survey and in the Sierra Club, interest was also manifested in posthumous works which might embody the substance of Matthes' studies, even though they could not attain the exact form or completeness that he would have given them. The Geological Survey assigned me to look into these possibilities. Review of the Matthes' papers indicated that some of the materials left by Matthes might best serve for reference use, in connection with future glacial and geomorphological studies, but that two significant reports might be prepared for publication.
There resulted, as a first product of this undertaking, USGS Professional Paper 329, "Reconnaissance of the Geomorphology and Glacial Geology of the San Joaquin Basin, Sierra Nevada, California," published in 1960. The paper herewith published is the second of the two reports planned. In a sense these are companion works. However, since Matthes' geomorphological studies in Sequoia National Park have previously been published (Matthes, 1937, 1938, 1950a) and little new information could be added the emphasis in this paper is on glacial geology, and only brief incidental attention is given to such subjects as erosional history, exfoliation, and avalanche sculpture.
The glacial terminology that Matthes used is retained in this report, although it departs from the current Geological Survey usage as outlined in the Code of Stratigraphic Nomenclature prepared by the American Commission on Stratigraphic Nomenclature (1961). For example, Matthes used the term "stage" for glacial episodes such as El Portal, Glacier Point, and Tahoe, whereas the code (p. 660, art. 40) specifies the term "glaciation" for these episodes. Similarly, Matthes used the term "substage" for subdivisions of a glaciation, whereas current usage employs the term "stade."
A rather detailed description of the topography of Sequoia National Park ("Geographic Sketch"), which Matthes had almost completed, is included in full because of the valuable picture it gives of the park area.
As a preliminary to the preparation of this report, I spent the period from July 22 to August 27, 1952, in Sequoia National Park working from camps in Giant Forest, Bearpaw Meadow, Mineral King, and the Kern Canyon. This fieldwork refreshed my memory of features already familiar and acquainted me with others not previously seen. Subsequently, a procedure was followed that was, in the main, similar to that adopted for preparation of Professional Paper 329. The attempt was made to prepare a unified account that would be as complete as possible from the materials at hand, and that would set forth Matthes' observations and conclusions, and retain, wherever feasible, his own words. This procedure involved the synthesis of information from many different sources, particularly field notes and maps, sections of text written in longhand with various degrees of finish, annotated photographs, and published papers. The project further necessitated both the transfer of information from field maps to an unfinished office map and the completion of three topographic profiles. No outline for a report was found, but the source materials at hand, as well as those used for the San Joaquin report, provided working guides for the organization of material and filling in of gaps in the report. The photographs proved particularly useful. In taking these, Matthes had kept in mind the needs of the interpretative program of Sequoia National Park and had made a special effort to secure a comprehensive, illustrative series. Many of these he had annotated fully for use in his so-called "Sequoia Albums" (Matthes, 1950a).
It is hoped that this publication will in some measure fulfill Matthes' intent to provide an overall picture of the geography and glacial geology of Sequoia National Park, and also, that it may prove useful not only to geographers and geologists, but to others, such as the staff of the park and to visitors. The reader must bear in mind that this work is, as its name emphasizes, the report of a reconnaissance survey. Matthes clearly regarded his work as tentative, and he recognized the need for future detailed studies to clarify some of the complex glacial relationships in the area and to make possible more exact correlations with the records of other areas. The report will have served one of its main purposes if it encourages other geologists to undertake such studies and suggests to them specific localities where research may be pursued profitably and with minimum expenditure of time and effort.

My partner was re-reading one of his own novels (a friend was so kind to write extensive comments on his latest piece of work) and so he was occupied for about six hours. Of course he was moving all the time but still rather fixed on one place. I also asked him not to "freeze" while I was drawing him but to behave just as he normally does. Good exercise...

UNDATED, WI (WTAQ) - Federal investigators have seized over two dozen shipments of synthetic drugs bound for western Wisconsin and neighboring Minnesota. The Minneapolis Star-Tribune said the drugs came from Texas, South Carolina, Nevada, and places within Minnesota. The seizures were the result of laws passed in both Wisconsin and Minnesota which ban the sale-and-use of synthetic marijuana and related stimulants sold as "bath salts." Those chemicals have been banned in both states since last July. Minnesota is now working on a follow-up bill to make prosecution easier. In one instance, the Star Tribune said shipments from a South Carolina firm went to various addresses in Tomah and Black River Falls, as well as to the Twin Cities and Rochester Minnesota. Postal inspectors in Saint Paul have jurisdiction over Minnesota and western Wisconsin. But postal inspection service spokesman Jeff Long would not comment on the investigations. Most probes remain active. Last week, 37-year-old Richard Jacobs of Hoffman Minnesota pleaded guilty in that state to a misdemeanor charge of possessing synthetic drugs. He was sentenced to a year in jail. His drugs came from a Houston firm called W-T-F Herbals. A spokesman for that company told the Star Tribune that he thought his products were legal in every state – and he's recalling all shipments to Minnesota, and will not plan any more there.
