Oh May This Cloud Never RipWhat is this? No lonely, no need for mind?
Where am I? A dream, a heart-bound bind?
It's both breathless and breathful, wild and kind.
Stress forgotten, no need for remind.
Truly unreal, for i feel the sting
of this mild pinch and i hear a sing.
Is it the crows abroad with aching wing?
They scream harsh words, with screeching ring.
"A dream! A dream! Ignorant sense.
All fiction and blank, these ladies and gents'.
You dream! You dream! of false resents.
Your so miniscule, weak, for a mind so immense."
A pop, a crash, a crumble, and rip.
A hope now lost, I begin my trip
back down to Earth where my body let slip,
so given to me a teased kiss on the lip.
I Don't Even Know Where To BeginI don't even know where to begin
Shall I start with your hobbies
Or where you've been?
What's your middle name
And what's your favorite sin?
The list goes on forever
And I don't even know where to begin.
Do you like long walks in the park
And day dreaming in the dark?
Do you pass love notes in class
Or do you carve them in tree bark?
There's so much I want to know
And I don't even know where to begin.
So let's start with what I know...
I know you rock, and I know you roll
I know you're shy, not afraid to cry
And I know your heart
Is as pure as your soul.
You're as infinite as the sun
And I've only just begun
Step 1- Give her love that weighs a ton
Step 2- Just follow Step 1
Do you believe that
Love at first sight
Can be as quick as a hit-n-run?
Step 1 is just the beginning
Because I've only just begun.
So i've found out where to begin
It begins with you and a cute little grin
Sitting next to me under a starlit night
Because every loss streak ends with a win
So if you ask me
A Sound Unheard From A Love UnsaidDoes the heart make a sound
Besides the beating and the pound?
Does it cry out and sing?
Singing you, I have found
When the lights were out
My heart did not shout
Did not scream, did not beat,
Did not wander about
Now I think to myself
"Was it I that found you?"
On a shelf I lied, dusty and used
With a heart in your chest as beautiful as you
You dusted me off and made me brand new
When your eyes met with mine
My heart finally made that a sound
Besides the habitual beating and pound
It cried out and sang
"It was you who found me
It was you who saved me
It was you who changed me
And it was I who's heart speaks true
In this poem that was made for you
Exposed Flaws and Personal HellsTeeth clenching and eyes burning
My body frozen and stomach churning
I pull at my hair, I confess to a wall
Shove these pills down my throat to erase it all
Doesn't work (it never does) Only breaks down the thought
Of the world severing my limbs and leaving me to rot
But I suppose, instead, I can go back to my corner
And make you all see what's beneath all this torn fur
Am I such an utter failure
That I have to constantly be rebound
By the mistakes that I have made
That I wish could be rewound
Well go ahead and expose my flaws
Turn this boiling blood to tar
Because you call me narrow-minded
But oh my, how wrong you are
I've never heard of being remembered
for thinking like everyone else
So stop telling me who to be like
We all have out little personal hells
Yet again, another mistake has been made
Once again, it's been shoved in my face
Still again, you crave to be obeyed
And again, with these false accusations in place
I've spit out these words you've placed in my mouth
And have repla
A Word or Two for the Girl I LoveYou,
More captivating than the midnight moon
have made me happier than I've been in years,
Lost for ever so long, you've walked me through this maze,
you've banished my doubts and fears,
With a love that is anything but wrong,
let our love song sing on through tears,
Because every morning,
of every day,
are the reason my sun appears.
I Love You Babe <3
They Came as WormsThey came as worms.
They came crawling in the mud of the self-sufficient world.
They came blind in their mind and eyes.
They came thoughtless and clone-like.
They came without judgement and without the ability to judge.
They came emotionless without the ability to feel.
They came weak, but with no need to be strong.
They came without conflict with no need to fight.
They came with no worries for the past or the future.
They came without corruption, plague or disease.
They came without ranks for no need to be greater.
They came without predators and without prey.
They came with peace, serenity, and zen.
What i would give to be one of them
Love Speaks For The UnspokenHello pretty girl
Will you be my friend?
We've had our beginning
But will you follow me to the end?
And even in the end
Will you continue loving me?
Because an end without you
Is a short eternity
I give a grin
You smile back
From your heart that fills
All the things that I lack
To comply with your needs
Is a need to comply
So when gravity fails
Let our love take to the sky
And so that day comes
When I do not see you
When I sit around all day
Writing "I love you's"
But those days I cannot choose
Whether I win, tie or lose
So I just hope and dream
You're writing "I love you too's"
I know.. I get tongue tied, I get quiet
My thoughts always slip away
But do not think it means
That I have nothing to say
You've tightened up my screws
You've made my lonely heart unbroken
So when I say that I love you
It speaks for every word unspoken
I Know Of A GirlI know of she, like she is the sea
The sea may seem dangerous,
But is beautiful and free
I've spoken to the sea
And she spoke back to me
And said "A future without he
Is a future without me"
He gave up on the sea
And the sea gave up on she
Now nothing left of he
But a life of secrecy
She gave security
Now insecure is the sea
I said
"You Are
You've been
And you will be
A dream that's worth dreaming
You think yourself unloved
I say you're a specialty
A diamond in the rough
The sweetest piece of candy
You are the sea
The key for life to be
And if without the sea
How dry the world would be"
She cried "No that's not me
I'm a space where nothing should be
If given oppurtunity
I'd die
Not sway like the sea"
Oh how wrong she can be
To think nothing of the sea
I grabbed her hand
And I made her feel the sand
That ran through her fingers rapidly
"Life goes by fast
So live it til the last
Grain of sand falls back into the sea
I can't stress enough
How much love can be tough
But love's an eternity
The Last Remaining StarThere must be silver linings
There must be a shred of hope
Is all in all, all we see?
Just painfull ways to cope
But not of death nor sadness
just tis the human way
to believe they're more than dirt
as the world drips away
To claim that one's alive
means to call your own self dead
while the rivers run vertical
into the sky that burns red
and when rain turns to ash
I will fly my way to you
I will lift you off your feet
to hold you, and feel renewed
Watching your dreams fall
I cannot bare the thought
So why not fall in love
and ignore the world we forgot
because an angel among this Earth
you have been and always will
so as long as i'm with you
let the world burn and spill
and the tears that flow from those gentle eyes
shall wake me from my eternal sleep
and so for all days my heart is yours
to cradle and to keep
My last remaining star...
AcheIt comes and goes
like an unwelcome houseguest,
leaving me with messes I don't need,
and it never shuts the door
to keep the cold out.
I tried shutting off the lights
and closing the blinds,
twisting the key in the padlock
and boarding the windows,
but as long as light can
seep through the cracks,
this shadow will follow
and dig its fingers into my shoulders.
I bruise easily, it knows,
and it revels in watching
me shift in discomfort
while it grips me.
Like a ghost,
it won't let go.
On My MindYou've been on my mind for quite some time
And I really can't do anything about it.
I watch you go through life day by day ,
You never knowing that all of what you do I love it.
You smile at me,my life's complete as sad as it sounds,I can't avoid it.
You talk to me my heart it beats,I'm unable to slow it.
I don't know why,but you make me smile
and that's why I love you,
and that's the end of it.
After The RainAfter The Rain
Soaked with holy rain
Of love you were making
To the shell that contains
The real me
Enraptured by your face's reflections
Gleaming in puddles resting
On my country's torso
I can't tell where you end
And I begin
Nor where these tears come from
And where sweet moments go to
When they say farewell
To what you left in me
And what you took away
Out of drawers
Those I didn't know I had at all
bLindThe wind carries meaning. As it picks up, reach your branches into it. Let it's force cause you to sway. Shed your dead leaves until there is nothing left. Keep rising up into the sky, and keep digging those roots deeper. Float on a sea of whatever it is that it may be, flying so free, in your mind completely blind to see the sight of things...
Some people swerve through life wearing thin spots into their souls while trying to suck the souls out of others. Eventually, this will rest on their conscience. The rest of the world will look like an angry mob coming for them. If you gamble with the devil, you will lose every time.
Careless souls suffer. Whether it be a sign of a new day or just a passage of time, what you harness has the ability to pick things up, to possess your soul with light. So is the plight of the being.
Waterfall HopeIts inner and outer beauty are one,
and it wakes up my eyes to see,
for me and others, that so are ours.
Only I'm not yet strong enough to let that truth
completely enter in where it should and bloom from there,
yet it still makes me smile,
and so many things start with a smile.
I imagine it has stored up so many blown kisses;
I imagine the light of our love for it
gives it more light than the sun.
When it's going down
it's like a million diamonds
acting like children,
running frantically everywhere,
with an extra helping of innocence and joy on top.
For me
The lights have turned off,
as they often do,
but then comes that honest spark
giving me a helping hand,
touching so tenderly without trying,
and showing me that hand choking the life out me,
my hand;
it all is vividly clear,
and I put my hand down,
and start anew.
It's not on magazines;
it doesn't wear make-up,
but it's perfection,
and a gift to almost all the senses.
A waterfall proves there's beauty even when you fall.
Keep tr
FrenemiesEmily: I don't try and hurt you because I can if that were true, this would all be so much easier. No, I don't make you cry because I want you to...But because I don't want to. Everyday there's another standard put up, a new bar set lower in a game of limbo where the bar might as well be two inches from the floor. But the bar is also higher, not one of a game but of expectations! My parents treat me like a dog, telling me what to do is like teaching me a new trick and if I try to run away they hold me back and yell, "Heel!" and as much as I try and break away the leash gets tighter and tighter with each pull. I'm sorry I'm going off, ranting on. I don't know what else to tell you. Maybe one day we can be friends, going behind the scenes and being nice but being ugly to each other's faces. But either way, we'll always just be frenemies
Letters To GodThere's a difference between darkness and nothingness. Darkness is being a temporary resident of rock bottom, a shadowy state of melancholy that's only motivated by the fact that you can only go up from there. Dark can be converted to light, slowly but surely, so that we have a glimmer of hope. Nothingness? It's being totally numb to the reality surrounding you. It can only be reversed if you put your entire soul into making something out of nothing. Trust me, I would know.
I didn't have a bad home life. In fact, my family was one of the strongest I had known at the time. I got reasonably good grades, barely ever faltering on an exam. I even had a few people I called my friends, who I thought would stick with me for the longest while. That was when I, an eleven year old girl whose parents sheltered her as well as they could, was introduced to the online universe of cyber-bullying. Soon, after my peers put up this façade of courage on the Internet, the assumed culprits began to bri
Sleep.Sleep. Sleep, and dream.
Dream the dreams of darkness, and know that the darkness is familiar.
It is the darkness that fills the hole in my soul, a black, endless void where life has no meaning.
It is the darkness of depression, and through circumstances beyond anyone's control, it has been passed on to you, as a burden to carry, to share with those who care the most, because together, all can lift it.
Dream. Dream, and sleep.
Three Days Worth of Full MoonShe's just up there looking pretty as usual while you're unable to avert your gaze. I know how it must feel to be caged by such a sight as her and I tell you, you might not even notice, but tomorrow she'll still be there.
Count your constelations all you like, but she'll always be the only one who could woo you like that. I know how it must be hard being under her spell, I should tell you it feels like drinking tankards and tankards of ale. And just like the hangover that follows any good drink, tomorrow, she'll be there.
And here we are at someone else's loft and you urging me to look at her soft cool face. But something else caught my eye and it's kinda funny how you aren't aware of how rare a sight it is. And I tell you, you might not even notice, that tomorrow she'll still be there, but right now, I'm fixated on you.
Shooting Stars Aim For The Heart-Dear Father Time
Don't mind to rewind
To a purer part
Of an end with no start
To a time without rhyme
Being guilty without crime
To a time without rhyme
To a time without chime
With no repetition
To a time without time
With no sublimination
And elimination without justification
To when peace came in rations
When land was the ocean's corruption
And when floods were solutions
When our dreams meant absolution
-Yours truly, The World

For those of our readers who may not be familiar with Fete Magazine, it is an online magazine in the truest sense of the word. Based in Greenville, South Carolina it has been around for a little over 18 months and shows no sign of slowing down. I recently met Jay when he approached me about writing for the magazine as well as doing some guest blogs. Seeing immediately that we were kindred spirits, I decided we should introduce Jay to you properly. He has lots of interesting things in the works, many which we hope to be a part of. So look for a lot more Fete/Watu collaboration in the future. In the meantime I give you the man behind the mag, Mr. Jay Spivey.
Wes Gilliam: So Fete has been around roughly for the past year and half, and is a pretty sizable endeavor. What was your motivation for going into such an immersive project?
Jay Spivey: I love Greenville and I wanted to figure out how to get the businesses, artists, musicians and non-profits to band together in one place so their stories and marketing efforts could actually help each other. There are over 50,000 Facebook users represented in one monthly issue of Fete and there are almost a half a million ways you can see the Fete Marquee in one month. Fete is becoming the easiest way to reach the supporters and patrons of our downtown and beyond. The best example is this: Centre Stage, The Warehouse, The Peace Center and Rick Erwin's can reach each other's online supporters in only one publication. There are over 300 inks in each issue of Fete. Add to that all the non-profits, writers and advertisers and you have one of those really cool Kumbaya marketing moments! It is all about each participant in Fete sharing Fete with their "clan". The "rising tide lifting all boats". And, most importantly, this kind of online community publication did not exist before Fete. I love my job! Add the ability to embed videos and Shazaam!
WG: Why the decision to focus on so many different topics such as music, art, theatre and even Fiction writing? Are these all interests of yours personally? Any plans to expand in scope?
JS: The soul of any community is based on its relationship with the arts. We are so fortunate to be in this time and this place. I have always had so much respect for anyone that can express their creativeness and I feel like it is a civic responsibility to support and promote the arts in Greenville. The next expansion is centered around food – the stories, pictures and videos that we enjoy to spread. FeteDish is coming out in this February issue and we will be supporting it with some cool guest bloggers.
WG: How did you come to the decision to do a multi-media internet based magazine instead of a traditional printed one?
JS: Print, in general, is slowly fading from the scene. Too much internet and easy access to anything you want. That's not to say that specialty print publications are disappearing, but news print sure is – plus, it comes off on your hands – M&Ms don't even do that. I really enjoy saying that Fete is NOT thrown in your driveway. Plus, videos are the future and embedding them in a publication is something that separates Fete from everyone else locally.
WG: Was the embedding of audio and video an original goal when starting the magazine up, or was it something that you realized you could integrate over time?
JS: Absolutely! Fete is video and all the links to everything. There are no other publications in Greenville that have embedded video. Fete is about entertainment and a video – whether it be humor from the ladies at Cafe and Then Some, a musician's new song or an interview – videos are the way of the future. Now that every smart phone has the capability to record anything that happens – Fete has to keep evolving the use of video.
WG: Perhaps the thing I'm most excited about is the Fete Mobile Music app. Can you tell us a little more about it, and what exactly it does as well as any future plans for the app ?
Fete Mobile Music was born from my experience as a bar owner back in the 1990s. All of the printed calendars around town were/are a pain to carry around, did not have correct information and they could not tell you how to get to the show on a map. FMM is the solution and it is simple to use. It is not an App – it is a web based system that can host venues, bands, performances, videos, descriptions, sponsors and pictures – all at your fingertips. All you have to do is bookmark music.fetegreenville.com on your smart phone and you can access it by date, by venue or by band name. We will be making a big push over the next couple of months to expand our support of FMM through Fete Magazine, specific videos, banners and table tents in the venues and Fete will be a sponsor of Downtown Alive and Main Street Friday this season. I truly believe that Fete Mobile Music will grow beyond our wildest dreams this summer. We are also planning a few concerts to help support the cause.
WG: What can we expect from Fete in 2012 ? Any big plans or are you playing it close to the chest?
JS:The sky is the limit in 2012! There are some secrets, but I can safely say that we will continue to evolve the editorial content of the magazine. More videos, more great photography and more snarky humor. The FeteBlog is going to grow considerably through associations with outfits like WATU. And, I am sure that Fete Mobile Music will go wild by this summer.
WG: Finally I know I have personal achievements I'm proud of with my site, any personal highlights you'd care to share with us? Any "this is crazy and this is happening!" moments you can share?
JS: I am fortunate to have a true design guru in the person of Jack DelGado helping with everything Fete – he is my soul mate in this endeavor. Add Matt Morgan's creative passion as our Music Editor and Dave Galloway's drive/desire in being the Fete Mobile Music Manager to this equation and I can actually get "giddy" about all this Fete stuff. These FeteMen make me proud. We keep thinking that this can't get any better or more fun, but it does – every single month. I wish everyone could feel that joy. Fete it be…
One Response to INTERVIEW: Jay Spivey of Fete Magazine
Bruce Miller "Cebru" says:
I am new to Fete having been to a couple events and meeting Jay Spivey through our mutual friends Syprian Harvey and Matt Morgan. As a gallery/ artist owner here in Greenville, I can only say that I am very excited about the passion Fete conveys and the obvious dedication included in your endeavours. Thanks for making such an intelligent flag ship effort on behalf of this city!

"The knife arrived broken, but I superglued the heck out of it and it holds as good as new! The sheath is amazing quality (much better quality than the knife it self); it's rugged and functional. All in all, pretty good free product, but I would recommend spending a little more for a longer better quality knife."
found this review helpful.
"This is a nice knife, the handle is pretty sturdy, and the blade isn't too flimsy. It looks really realistic and it's got a nice balance. The sheath is really heavy duty and basically indestructible. Clips into a belt real nice and doesn't get in the way of any leg holsters or gun slings u might have. Overall a really handy knife, pretty intimidating."
"The knife came broken, and the sheath was cracked. I contacted AMS about it and they solved the problem.
knife earns 3 stars. it is rubber bladed which is nice.
sheath earns 4 very well made adds greatly to the knife
AMS costumer service earns 5"

Rep. John Doolittle (R-CA), whose house was raided by FBI agents last month, says he has "information from sources he wouldn't name that federal agents had executed search warrants recently against two other members of Congress — a Republican and a Democrat — in raids that hadn't become public yet. He said he thought that those raids were related to the Abramoff probe."

HRC's New Corporate Equality Index Requires Removal of Exclusions to Transgender Healthcare and Bene
October 6, 2010
Transgender healthcare coverage and benefits have for too long been excluded from many business' healthcare plans. It has been a systematic level of discrimination against transgender employees that has a devastating impact on so many people, and it needs to change. In 2002, only 5% of CEI-rated companies included gender identity among their non-discrimination policies and in 2004, only 3% of CEI-rated companies addressed transgender health with limited benefit offerings.Continue Reading ►

In late June, the title of Miss New York was earned by my daughter, Claire Buffie. She is an intelligent, articulate, and passionate 2008 Ball State University graduate whose personal platform is "Straight For Equality -- Let's Talk." As a straight ally for gay rights, she speaks with conviction offering a voice for a minority group -- which includes her older sister, Sarah -- that suffers unjustly on many fronts. If the historically conservative Miss America Organization is ready to confront controversial civil rights issues, should one be surprised that the historically conservative medical community of Indiana has embarked upon the same?Continue Reading ►

Two theft cases against the Mercer County Treasurer moved forward in court Thursday.
Treasurer Mike Bertelsen was arrested and charged earlier this month with stealing $13,000 from a County 911 Fund.
Appearing in court with his attorney, Bertelsen pleaded not guilty to the three latest theft charges against him.
He's already pleaded not guilty to a theft charge brought from the Mercer County Republican Central Committee.
He was accused of stealing $800 from that group as well.
The judge Thursday agreed to move both cases out of Mercer County.
"Given that the fact that it would be Mercer County voters that would be jurors, any juror here would be possibly unfair to Mr. Bertelsen," says his attorney Jack Schwartz.
He was happy the judge agreed to move both cases against Bertelsen out of Mercer County. Bertelsen remains on paid leave while the court cases work their way through the system, a process that could take some time.
"We're not sure that all the charges that may be filed have been filed, until the audit is complete," says Schwartz.
The County Board approved moving forward with its regular audit at its last board meeting, but the forensic audit has been on hold. It's expensive, and the county doesn't want to spend money on the rest of a forensic audit if nothing else appears out of order.
"It's going to take a while. It's the county budget, my understanding though is that the county really has a lack of funds to do this. The county is hurting for money and I'm not sure how long it's going to take," says Schwartz.
He says he has not seen any of the evidence against Bertelsen from the State's Attorneys Appellate Prosecutor's office. He says that's not out of the ordinary, and he believes he will see whatever the state has when the investigations are finished.
"My client is not in a rush to be charged, or tried, and when it comes out and we get tried, we get tried," says Schwartz.
It's process that could take until fall or even later to move forward.
The prosecutor had no further comment after Thursday's hearing.
Bertelsen continues to be paid as the County Treasurer, although the County Board passed a resolution forbidding him from coming to work.

Suárez Says Goodbye
Published September 04, 2007 12:00
NEW YORK, NY, USA - One of the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour's all-time greats has called it a career at one of the sport's most prestigious venues, as Paola Suárez retired from professional tennis at the US Open over the weekend. The Argentine will leave behind a legacy for South America, being just the second from her continent to get to the Top 10 in singles and the first to attain the world No.1 ranking in the doubles discipline.
As a youngster in Argentina just starting out, Suárez played tennis for fun, never really considering pursuing tennis professionally. But with her results improving and the star of countrywoman Gabriela Sabatini on the rise, her intentions began to change.
"I began to play tennis just to enjoy it and have fun, but I started to improve so I chose to make it my career," Suárez stated. "When I was young it was Sabatini. She was so popular and I saw her everywhere. I never actually said, 'I want to be like Gaby,' but the results started coming and I kept going. It was strange!"
After some success in the minor leagues, Suárez went pro on March 1, 1994, and the Tour success didn't take long to follow. She would win her first of eventually 44 doubles titles in 1996 in Bol, Croatia with Laura Montalvo, and in 1998 she would win her first of four singles titles in Bogotá, Colombia.
Her most memorable doubles triumphs came on the biggest stages, the majors. She ends her career with eight of them: one Australian Open (2004), three US Opens (2002, 2003, 2004), and four Roland Garros titles (2001, 2002, 2004, 2005). All of those, as well as one Sony Ericsson Championships title (2003) and three Wimbledon runner-up finishes (2002, 2003, 2006), came with one partner.
"We had some really nice moments and we'll always have good memories," said Suárez of Virginia Ruano Pascual. "We had a great time on the court, laughing all the time and having fun. That was the key to our partnership. And we're friends as well. Virginia was important for my career and in my memories of tennis."
Her four singles titles were perhaps overshadowed by more resonant singles runs at the majors. She made her first Slam quarterfinal at Roland Garros in 2002, her second at the US Open in 2003 and then reached the semifinals at Roland Garros in 2004. That was followed with a quarterfinal at Wimbledon a few weeks later.
"Making the semifinals of the French Open, one of my favorite tournaments, was the most important result of my career," said Suárez, who fell to Dementieva in that match. "It's on clay and in Paris, both of which made me feel really great. Also, winning the Olympic doubles bronze medal in Athens was exciting."
But in the last few years injuries became frustrating. After she and Ruano Pascual won Roland Garros in 2005, Suárez was forced to withdraw from the rest of the season due to a hip injury that would later require surgery; although she would come back to the Tour in 2006, she would begin struggling with more injuries. Earlier in 2007 she announced she would be playing her last professional season.
"After the hip surgery I didn't feel really good, and I just had too many injuries after that. I was just too tired of having all the injuries. I just felt beaten. And I wasn't having the same results. And I'm 30 years old - it was time to move on."
Originally she was going to stop after Wimbledon, then decided to extend that.
"I was supposed to retire after Wimbledon but I didn't tell anyone, and then I thought that wasn't a good idea for the fans and those who follow my career. So, I started practicing again for the US Open. Then I told the press I'd be retiring!"
Suárez fell in singles qualifying, then in the opening round of women's doubles. She fell in the second round in mixed doubles with Zimbabwe's Kevin Ullyett, and after the loss was given an on-court presentation which included kind words from current doubles great Liezel Huber and the uncorking of two bottles of Chandon. Suárez had her chance to thank a few people and, with teary eyes, said goodbye.
"I was always so surprised at how so many players from different countries could come together," said Suárez when asked about her best memories. "We were all different in culture and language, but came together with one thing in common."
Suárez was the first woman from South America to reach No.1 in doubles, holding it for a total of 87 weeks (the fifth-longest total of all time). Aside from Sabatini, she was the only South American woman to reach the Top 10 in singles, getting to a career-high of No.9 on June 7, 2004 (after her Roland Garros semifinal).

May 23, 1939 - January 17, 2013
Jack McCarthy is a working guy from the Boston area who's been writing poetry since the mid-60s. He'd been averaging about a poem a year until 1992-93, when two things happened. First, his new wife, Carol, blackmailed him into attending a workshop with Galway Kinnell; then he brought his daughter Annie, for her birthday, to the open mike at the Cantab Lounge in Central Square, Cambridge, hoping she'd get excited about poetry. Jack was the one who got hooked.
Since then he's brought out Grace Notes, two chapbooks (Actual Grace Notes and Too Old to Make Excuses (But Still Young Enough to Make Love)), a 60-minute cassette tape (Poems for Hannah), and a CD (Breaking Down Outside a Gas Station). A major book, Say Goodnight, Grace Notes, was released in 2003 by EM Press to rave reviews. His work has appeared in a number of anthologies, including The Spoken Word Revolution.
Jack was a member of the Boston team at the 1996 National Poetry Slam, and was an engaging minor character in the feature film "Slamnation," which documented those proceedings, and he was a member of the Worcester team at the 2000 National Poetry Slam, where he finished as the 10th ranked individual. The Boston Phoenix has named him "Best Standup Poet," the Boston Poetry Awards "Best Love Poet," and the Cambridge Poetry Awards "Best Spoken Word" and "Best Humorous Poet ." The Boston Globe says, "In the poetry world, he's a rock star."
Among his influences he numbers Robert Frost, Dylan Thomas, and Garrison Keillor. He doesn't think of himself as a "performance poet," but as a "standup poetry guy," a writer of poems that perform themselves.
Poet Stephen Dobyns has written, "Jack McCarthy is one of the wonders of contemporary poetry. He writes—and often performs—dazzling narratives full of wit and humor, sadness and hard thinking. He should be cloned." Of Say Goodnight, Grace Notes, ALA Booklist says, "McCarthy brings his compelling experiences to his poetry with nimble humor, hard-won wisdom, and a raconteur's knack for telling diabolically barbed stories…concrete, candid, personal, and utterly captivating…caustic, sexy and smart."
Thomas Lux has written, "The only ambition he seems to have is to tell the truth as best he can in poems." That is a very worthy ambition, but it's not his only one. He also hopes to be remembered as an integral member of the movement to restore poetry to its rightful place in everyday American life. So that when Americans think of poetry, they don't think of school and homework, but of laughter and tears; a shortcut to the heart.
"In the poetry world, he's a rock star."
Boston Globe
"Jack McCarthy is one of the wonders of contemporary poetry…"
Stephen Dobyns
"You get lost in reading or listening to Jack McCarthy's poems. Lost in characters, the story, the voice – so human, so alive. His poems are hard not to read."
Thomas Lux, God Particles: Poems
"Jack McCarthy is the finest storyteller in our field…when one say Jack, everyone knows who that is. There's only one Jack. Four letters. That's legendary. That's love."
Mike McGee, two-time National Slam Champion
"Here are poems that find a home in your ear quietly and permanently, each one 'an unexpected act of simple human decency.'"
Taylor Mali, four-time National Slam Champion
"He reminds me of a drunken man in a bar full of snobs, who for some inexplicable reason is always right."
Sam Szabo, grade 7, Rupert A. Nock Middle School, Newburyport, MA
There is no rage in me, not anymore The years have been too kind Allow the light the right to die.

TEAMS: Boston Celtics, Oklahoma City Thunder, Phoenix Suns
Jeff Green has been considered sort of a poison pill since Danny shockingly traded Kendrick Perkins for him. That move seemingly ripped the heart out of the team and ultimately sent the them into a tailspin. To make matters worse "Uncle Jeff's" heart ailment resulted in him sitting out all of the 2012 season. The following season saw Danny Ainge give him a 36 million dollar contract had pundits and Celtics Nation scratching their heads. After all, he had not proven that he had recovered and his uneven play after the infamous trade gave many reason for pause. During the preseason, Green showed glimpses of what he could be, but no one wanted to put stock in what were essentially glorified pick-up games. Green's uneven play during the first-half of the season saw everyone clamoring to get rid of him. His small sample size of playing time showed that the more time he got on the court the more productive he was becoming. Yet, Doc stubbornly clung to keeping aging v...

Exciting Films from Thailand with English subtitles Friday, June 4 - Wednesday, June 9, 2004
Tuesday, June 08, 20047:30 PM - 11:00 PMJames Bridges TheaterMelnitz HallUCLA CampusLos Angeles, CA 90095
Tuesday, June 8 7:30pm Los Angeles PremiereBEAUTIFUL BOXER (2003)
Directed by Ekachai Uekrongtham
Based on an amazing true story, this absorbing and heartfelt film follows a young kickboxer who rises to the top of his sport in order to pay for a sex-change operation—his own. BEAUTIFUL BOXER inventively brings together the conventions of the sports movie and the coming-out story as exciting kickboxing sequences alternate with vignettes from the athlete's life. Thai tolerance towards transsexuality has led to a string of films with transgendered protagonists, with IRON LADIES (also a sports film based on a true story) the best-known example in this country. Unlike many of these films, the hero here is not a comic figure but an inspiring individual.
Producer: Ekachai U. Screenwriters: Ekachai U., Desmond Sim Kim Jin. Cinematographer: Choochart Nantitanyatada. Editor: Dusanee Puinongpho. With: Asanee Suwan, Sorapong Chatree, Orn-Anong Panyawong, Kyoko Inoue. 35mm, in Thai with English subtitles, 116 min. NANG NAK (1999)
Directed by Nonzee Nimibutr
A TITANIC-sized hit in Thailand and a critical success abroad, NANG NAK breathes new life into a haunting Thai folktale about undying love. After recovering from the brink of death, Mak returns home from war to be greeted by his wife Nak and their newborn son—only something isn't right. Evoking the ethereal beauty of rural Thailand, director Nonzee builds a mounting sense of unease and danger as Mak comes to realize what the audience already knows: his wife and child died months before. An epic romance by way of a chilling ghost story, NANG NAK was hailed by Tony Rayns as "a landmark of Southeast Asian cinema." The same production team went on to make the delirious homage to the Spaghetti Western, TEARS OF THE BLACK TIGER (2001).
Producers: Visute Poolvoralaks, Chanajai Tonsaithong. Screenwriter: Wisit Sasanatieng. Cinematographer: Nattawut Kitikun. Editor: Sunji Asavinikul. With: Intira Jaroenpura, Winai Kraibutr, Pramote Suksatit, Pracha Thawongfia. 35mm, in Thai with English subtitles, 100 min. ------------------------------------------- All films screen at the James Bridges Theater in Melnitz Hall, located on the northeast corner of the UCLA campus, near the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Hilgard Avenue. Tickets are available at the theater one hour before showtime. Admission is $7 general, $5 students, seniors and UCLA Alumni Association members with ID. Kids' Flicks general admission is $5. NOTE: Advance tickets for all programs are available for $8 at www.cinema.ucla.edu. Parking is available adjacent to the James Bridges Theater in Lot 3 for $7; there is free parking on Loring Ave. after 6:00 p.m. daily. INFO: www.cinema.ucla.edu / 310.206.FILM.*************************************From Lonely Planet backpacking paradise to the Patpong nightlife, Thailand conjures up a panoply of images in the Western imagination. On our theater screens, it has provided the exotic backdrop for both secret agent derring-do (the James Bond of THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN and TOMORROW NEVER DIES) and pothead misadventure (Leonardo DiCaprio in THE BEACH). It has repeatedly doubled as its Southeast Asian neighbors Cambodia and Vietnam in Anglo-American revisitings of Indochinese wartime traumas (THE KILLING FIELDS; GOOD MORNING, VIETNAM; CASUALTIES OF WAR). What Thailand didn't have until fairly recently was farang (foreign) cognizance of its indigenous cinema. Fortunately, perceptions are changing as Bangkok has emerged as the locus of the latest Asian film renaissance to win local audiences along with critical accolades at film festivals worldwide. This "City of Angels," as the Thai capital is also known to its 9 million-plus denizens, is where Thailand's film culture is centered. The new generation of Thai filmmakers—many of whom moved to feature filmmaking from music videos and advertising, and whose exuberant intensity and fresh takes on genre have revivified well-worn commercial formulae—is concentrated in Bangkok. Here as well are the studios and financiers behind the country's recent moviemaking and cineplex-building boomlet. Like the other "City of Angels" across the Pacific, Bangkok's bustling metropolis has given its own noir bite to film depictions of its urban underbelly. On these mean streets, even the loner anti-heroes of THE TESSERACT and BANGKOK DANGEROUS—films replete with the rapid-fire editing favored by the Bangkok-based/Hong Kong-born Oxide and Danny Pang—can't go far without bumping up against the real-life congestion of the city. (Witness as well the climactic traffic jam in the brothers' tale of spirit haunting, THE EYE.) Director Pen-ek Ratanaruang, on the other hand, gives overcrowding a whole new meaning in his drolly perverse crime caper-meets-bedroom farce, 6IXTYNIN9. MY GIRL and BEAUTIFUL BOXER affirm contemporary Thai cinema's tolerant view of gender difference and transgendered identity. The former's humorous telling of how a young boy learns how not to be a girl proved a huge hit with Thai moviegoers last year. BEAUTIFUL BOXER meanwhile remolds the kratoey (transvestite), a popular comic figure on Thai TV and movies, into an unambiguously dramatic character. A landmark film whose 1999 release signaled the beginning of the current renaissance, NANG NAK offers another of the country's cinematic staples, the scary ghost story that is actually a Buddhist fable. Finally, the widely acclaimed first and second features by Thailand's leading independent filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul meander from the alleyways of Bangkok to the idyllic countryside bordering Burma. MYSTERIOUS OBJECT AT NOON is a spellbinding experiment in narrative structure and form, while BLISSFULLY YOURS deftly parlays the passing of the hours one sunny afternoon into an exquisite meditation on the existential truism of our times—the dwelling across boundaries, nationalities, cultures and, yes, artistic practices.
Parking is available adjacent to the James Bridges Theater in Lot 3 for $7; there is free parking on Loring Ave. after 6:00 p.m. daily.
Cost : $8 in advance; $7 & $5 at the door

We like the Benq MP721 DLP 2500 lumins £450 ish plus vat. Technoworld is normally our supplier
Hi All
Can anyone recommend a decent-ish DLP projector? I dunno.. resolution 1024x768, 2000 lumens? and can only spend around £400-500
We like the Benq MP721 DLP 2500 lumins £450 ish plus vat. Technoworld is normally our supplier
I would recommend any of the NEC prjectors under education and training;
We bought a NEC VT575 a couple of years ago for £700+ which is now discontinued. I recommend NEC highly.
Sanyo XW 50's. sleek, shiny and only 2 filters! Also around the £350-£400 mark from cpc anyways.
Epsons and NEC have been good for us.
We started installing the NEC VT52's a year or so ago. What I like about them is that everything (filter etc) seems to be accessible while still being ceiling mounted.
I would recomend the Epson EMP X5 for that res and 2000 ANSI, also the service spacing is better on this machine and has only 1 filter but are you replacing one as you may also have to take in to consideration the distance from the WhiteBoard, if you require further help or advise please IM me and i will ring you.
Projector Engineer
Projector Central have a calculator on their web-site that can help with throw to width ratios, and recommend brightness for differing scenarios.
Top stuff chaps - thanks for all the replies
I was under the impression with DLP's you had no filter to worry about only the bulb
We use the NEC 575's as well and they are awesome. Also Look great.
All projectors have filters, some HP ones I have inheritied don't appear to have a filter just a fine mesh on the vents but you have to vac that off as it turns all fluffy and not nice.
I agree with the Epson projectors they are nice bits of kit and if you search around you can sometimes find them with a free spare bulb.
Also why go for a DLP Projector? I'm taking them out of places to put LCD ones in as they are brighter and crisper than the DLPs, for the useage that happens in classrooms the LCD is king over DLP (LCD = better for powerpoint, word, active studio etc etc; DLP = better for movies) but TBH movies look fine on the LCDs anyway.
Yeh, suppose..
I was interested in DLP's as we just seem to be constantly cleaning projector filters, resetting filter timers etc.. at the end of the day I'm an IT person not a cleaner
It's not a cleaners responsibility to do that either...it's ITs responsibility, same as cleaning out the PC chassis, and wiping down screens/keyboards/mice IMO...
We just do ours on a floor by floor rota, once a month. Stuff the warning messages - some of those are just hopelesly pessemistic.

On Friday the supreme court issued a stay order for all proceedings related to admissions in Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in the Andhra Pradesh High Court which had directed the premier institute not to fill four seats which were offered to students from the state but were denied on the ground of poor percentile.
High court passed an order to IITs on July 8 after petition filed by candidates for top 20 percentile eligibility criteria. The four students had contended before the high court that the prescribed condition of successful candidates being within "top 20 percentile of successful candidates in class 12th examination conducted by the respective boards in applicable categories" was arbitrary and unreasonable.
The appeal was filed by the organising chairman of Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) (advanced) 2013, IIT Delhi, seeking stay of the interim order contending that the High Court completely ignored the terms and conditions of the JEE.
Senior advocate V Giri and advocate Madhu Smita Bora contended that the high court failed to appreciate that many deserving candidates would get adversely affected as a result of keeping four seats reserved for the respondent students who did not fulfil the minimum eligibility criteria for admission into the IIT.

Changes to emergency services at Central Middlesex Hospital
The accident and emergency department (A&E) at Central Middlesex Hospital is moving to an 11-hour service between 8am and 7pm from 14 November. However, the Urgent Care Centre at the front of the hospital will continue to operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
This is a temporary measure that is subject to external review and has been prompted by a need to provide a safe and reliable service to patients.
The temporary closure also reflects the work of the GP-led Urgent Care Centre in assisting patients who do not need hospital services. The centre opened at the hospital in March 2011, when A&E was seeing 200 patients a day on average. Now it sees about 70 patients a day and normally only one or two people an hour go to A&E between 7pm and 8am.
"As a result, A&E staff are no longer seeing enough patients to maintain their clinical skills and expertise," said Professor Rory Shaw, Medical Director for The North West London Hospitals NHS Trust, which runs Central Middlesex.
"While this change will affect very few patients, I realise that local people may be concerned. However, as the Urgent Care Centre cares for seven out of ten people who come through the front door, most people will not notice any difference.
"Safety is our number one priority, which is why we have taken this decision, which we believe is in the best interests of patients. It is wiser to make planned closures at night, rather than risk having sporadic, unanticipated closures over the winter, which could cause major inconvenience to patients."
The North West London Hospitals Trust has discussed the situation with the NHS North West London Cluster of PCTs and invited it to carry out a review of its A&E services.

Egypt's Appeal Court has ordered that South Cairo Criminal Court look into a request filed by former president Hosni Mubarak for his release. The issue will be considered Monday in court at the Police Academy where Mubarak's trial was held.
Mubarak's lawyer, Fareed El-Dib, handed over a memo pointing out that his clients have spent almost two years in provisional detention, starting 12 April 2011, the day of arrest. The memo called for Mubarak's release.
On 7 April, Prosecutor-General Talaat Abdullah announced that Mubarak would be detained for an additional 15 days pending investigations over new charges related to the illegal use of state funds.
Last June, Mubarak received a life sentence for failing to protect peaceful protesters during the January 2011 revolution, but was granted a retrial in January due to procedural irregularities in the initial trial.
The judge overseeing his retrial recused himself Saturday, referring the case to the Cairo Appeal Court.
Facing retrial along with Mubarak for their role in the killing of protesters during the 2011 uprising are Mubarak's former interior minister, Habib El-Adly, and six of his aides.
Since his detention in April 2011, the ousted president has claimed health problems and has been moved back and forth from the prison hospital in Tora to Maadi Military Hospital.

Make your own version of store bought French toast treats that are not laden with unpronounceable additives and fillers. A great Sunday morning breakfast that can do double duty. Make some to eat right away and some to freeze for busy school mornings.
These are simple to make, freeze and reheat. If you are making a larger batch, you can do it all at once by placing the french toast sticks on a baking sheet coated with non-stick spray. Just put them into a preheated to 475ᵒ oven, bake for 5 minutes, then flip them over and bake for another 2 minutes. Quick and Easy!
Homemade French Toast Sticks
- 1 loaf of bread (We like to use Texas Toast, it holds up well)
- 2 cups of milk
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 3 Tbsp. brown sugar
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 5 eggs
- Whisk milk, vanilla, brown sugar, cinnamon, in eggs until well combined.
- Cut each piece of bread into 3 strips.
- Dip bread in mixture on both sides.
- Place strips in a large non-stick pan coated with non-stick spray over medium heat.
- Brown on each side for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from pan, and set aside what will not be eaten immediately, and allow to cool.
- Cut strips into 3 pieces again, creating bite size squares. Lay in a single layer on a baking sheet covered in wax paper and place in freezer.
- When bites are solid remove from freezer and place single serving amounts in individual freezer bags. Mark with date.
- To serve- allow to thaw overnight in refrigerator, place in toaster oven or conventional oven at 350ᵒ for 3- minutes each side. Or if using straight from freezer -microwave for 30 seconds at a time until warmed all the way through. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, and serve with a side of syrup.

These values are essentially the character traits of successful CEOs. We follow them ourselves here in the CPA firm. We learned about Goals and Inspiration. As the business owner, I wake up inspired and full of goals, but now everyone is starting to think that way. Before that was about Conflict. We now view conflict as a means of personal growth. A few months later, when faced with a conflict situation, I re-read that value and made notes before the meeting. It was that value that stopped me from telling a client to take a hike. It was a $110,000 per year contract. And the relationship is now mutually rewarding.
The program has changed our entire management team; helping us be more productive and increase retention. Not only that but we have seen lives transformed by it, making us all better people.
These principals have been a clear guide to me and my business. I have used them in both good and challenging business environments. I have found these values to be eye opening to me, my business, and my family.

Discussion in 'ICE, Sat Nav & Dash Cam Forum' started by derwill, May 16, 2008.
Oh, and then you press the big square button on the left of the screen that brings up the video.
I've just tried this and i have a blue screen now saying something like no rear? Any ideas?
I'm delighted to see my calls to Garmin, then Kenwood and then back to Garmin are paying off!!
Apparently there are different ways to access the website, some are free and some charge $60!
I have loaded the speed cameras using pocket GPS website and the Garmin POI Loader, but I have to be honest and say its not great. It keeps telling me of speed warnings and seems to miss some Gatsos, any ideas???
Regarding the DVD playback, it should work as everyone has described, will see if I can figure another way for you. Have you perhaps tried ripping the DVD to iPod and playing it that way (if you have a video iPod).
Its a tricky wee unit this, but once you have the hang of switching between the functions it seems excellent.
Has anyone successfully used a standard iPod USB cable (i.e. the white one that comnes with an iPod) with the DNX5220? I have seen plenty of places on the net saying you can, but mine won't work at present. It has the same problem as reported earlier in this thread.
The iPod shows "Connected" but not "Kenwood" and the DNX5220 says "Disconnected".
I've tried two of these Apple cables with no joy and they both work OK with my PC. Any ideas?
Its a nano 3G with latest (1.1.3) firmware. DNX5220 has 1.4.0 firmware.
A USB stick works OK.
All regards.
Please help, ech time i do this i got DISC ERROR message. What possibly i am doing wrong.
Just a thought (haven't got a 5220), but have you finalized the disk?
(dunno if it is necessary)
Exactly what i was going to say. I had the same problem trying to update the firmware but then did a closed session disk (same as finalizing) and it was fine.
Yes i did finalized disc and i lost so many CD's and nothing, always DISC ERROR. The some story with upgrade. I thing i have to contact some how Kenwood. What do you thing? Maybe i am still doing something wrong?
One last thing. Did you write the file to CDR -R or CDR +R? If i remember back i borrowed a +R from my neighbour and it didn't work either. Just a thought.
The +R and -R difference is only present on re(writable) DVDs, not no CDs...
Did you use regular CDs (700 MB) , or those with higher capacities?
Have you tried writing at a low speed?
sorry i meant to say rewriteable but maybe it was a dvd i used and not a cd.
I am about to purchase this unit over the pioneer f900BT, from what i read i am making the right decision, can i just confirm 2 things please.
1 - Can i use ANY cctv camera for the reversing one - can anyone recomend a good cheap one rather than the kenwood one.
2 - I DO not need to leave the dvd in the unit to use the sat nav, does it need to be in to work out the route or does it store the whole map data to internal memory and only use the dvd to update ?
many thanks in advance for any and all responses.
2. the garmin sat nav is stored in the internal memory of the hu.
As I understand it, if you want to use updated map-data, you need a DVD with updated data in the drive. The update-data is not copied to the internal memory...
(there apparently is an unsupported workaround to do this manually)
Thank you very much for your time. Finely i have used DVD+R and every thing is fine. Thanks again. Arthur
Just had this back from Kenwood, i have omitted peoples names.
I am looking to purchase one of these items for my car, can you please explain how I update the maps in the future as roads change, I need to confirm that I dont have to leave the updated DVD IN the unit to use updated maps.
I will confirm this with our R&D dept, since to date there has been no update to the maps.
Ill let you know when I get a reply (probably tomorrow).
Them 30 mins later:
Further to last mail; the information is written from the Disc to the internal Garmin navigation board. So the disc can be removed after the update process.
So thats me sold
Thanks for all your help.
Kind Regards,
Navigation Customer Support Engineer
I am looking to purchase one of these items for my car, can you please explain how I update the maps in the future as roads change, I need to confirm that I dont have to leave the updated DVD IN the unit to use updated maps.
Great news!
The guy in the store convinced me that the disk had to be left in the device. As I was pressed for time I could not investigate further (I found it odd, but my previous system required a permanently present disk) and went ahead with the 8220. For my purpose, the 5220 could have sufficed... Not that there is anything wrong with the 8220 or anything, but I would have liked to been correctly informed before my purchase (it was the primary reason to go a specialized shop ). He also said the Kenwood navigation systems all have gyroscopes, which turns out to be wrong (only the case for the KNA-G520).
1. Guess its the last time I went there...
2. Make sure you have plenty of time to properly find out the abilities of a device yourslef...
so the cheapest price i have found for this unit is £649.99 from
Car Audio Direct - Kenwood DNX-5220BT - Satellite Navigation
anyone know cheaper ?
Yes, any standard cctv camera. I would recommend the one with LED diod for night vision. It should be around 60GBP
disk or no disk. you can easily copy it on the head unit via the mini usb on the back. have a search on this forum where i explain this procedure.
Replying to myself in case anyone else is searching on the same issue...The Apple leads do not work despite what you may read on some sites selling the DNX5220. I now have a KCA-IP300V and all is well. The audio is on a separate analogue 3.5 mini-jack at the Kenwood end.
thank you
I knew, but I don't want to venture into unsupported territory...
been reading through the threads
And I'm in the Market for either the DNX 5220BT
I was wondering if I went for the Unit without, BT would I be missing out on anything apart from the Bluetooth. Reason I ask is their seems to be nearly £100 price difference between the two.
One other thing is their any Security Device built in to the Units. Can you remove the Facia or disable in some way ?
Thanks for any advice
You wouldn't be missing anything other than bluetooth afaik (worth checking a spec sheet to be sure, but my opinion is based on when I bought the BT not long ago).
Bluetooth as an add on for the 5220 is best part of £100 so I guess you're paying for the convenience of having everything in one box (as you are with the whole unit to be honest).
The bluetooth is a missed opportunity on this if you ask me. The user interface is so close, but in practice difficult to use on the move. Lacking that last 10% of thought as is the user interface throughout. Unless you're a big phone user you wouldn't be missing much. The kit does basically work and sound quality I believe is pretty good, but it does have problems with some phones so you need to check compatibility very carefully. Works well with my venerable Nokia 6310i, but my Blackberry doesn't automatically re-connect.
There is no way to remove the fascia. I think you can enable a code if I recall, but the security master stroke is the flashing red LED which can be turned on or off through the menus
Thanks Stuart
Have been looking around for the best Price on the BT version
best I've found is Halfords £617
They are doing an additional £20 instore voucher if you buy a Sat Nav so I might get lucky and get them to fit it for free
Will see how it goes
OK - good luck. Beware that the fitting is reasonably involved because you need to site the microphone and the GPS antenna. Just check they know what they're doing.
Hi All,
New to this site so first of, .
Just installed the DNX5220BT to my car today and love it.
However a few things you may be able to help me with:
1. I try to connect my external hdd for music and video but it didnt work, the head unit said "reading device" but never got past that. Do extrernall Hdd's work on these?
2. My sat nav only displays main roads, it doesnt display streets on the map. Is this an option in the menu or do they only show up when its actually navigating you somewhere? As i only had it on for show.
Any help would be great,
I don't have this unit (yet) but usually on a sat nav this is because you are zoomed out too far - have you tried zooming in and out?
Separate names with a comma.

Getting Up Close & Personal With My Strands At Phyto Universe
Written on November 14, 2011 at 11:39 am , by April Franzino
This morning, I visited the Phyto Haircare Phyto Universe treatment center in New York City for a hair and scalp consultation—an especially scary prospect when I haven't shampooed in almost four days! Luckily, the hair expert when easy on me. See the photos of my scalp and hair magnified 200x below:
A few healthy hair pointers I picked up during my consultation:
- Before washing your hair, give yourself a mini scalp massage with a paddle brush to loosen any buildup.
- For maximum shine, use a clarifying shampoo in place of your regular formula once a month.
- To repair and hydrate dry ends like mine, keep a lightweight leave-in cream on hand and lightly smooth over them daily.

Favorite Find Friday: Smooth 'n Shine Therapy Leave-In Treatment Conditioner
Written on February 18, 2011 at 11:23 am , by April Franzino
It's been a tad too long since we've had a haircut, and our ends are showing it! In between appointments, we treat our overextended strands to Smooth 'n Shine Therapy Scalp & Breakage Miracle Leave-In Treatment Conditioner: Most days, it's the only product we leave in our hair. It nourishes and repairs with jojoba oil and wheat protein without feeling heavy or greasy. It's a bargain at $4—and the faint take-me-away coconut aroma doesn't hurt, either. What's your favorite leave-in hair product?

9 notes &
Crouching Tiger Hidden Batter.
When I was a junior in high school my mom and I stumbled upon this amazing Chinese restaurant. They had egg foo young to die for and their crab rangoon literally gave me orgasms. The place was that good. So we would make an effort to go in there every few weeks because I obviously was on a mission to gain as much weight as possible so I could become completely unattractive to the opposite sex.
One day while my mom and I were waiting for our food the owner's five year old son came running up to me with his arms outstretched. Because I'm an asshole and have a lot of faith in the human race I reached down with a big smile plastered on my face ready to reward him with a hug. Much to my surprise, instead of trying to hug me he instead started awkwardly grabbing my boobs. He wasn't really grabbing them, it was more like kneading. Almost like he was playing with a ball of dough that had nipples. "Is this how the Chinese perfect their crab rangoon making skills?" I wondered.
I was immediately filled with shock and confusion. I was sad and almost wished my boobs would fall off so I could leave them there for him to play with and not have to be witness to this. I looked towards my mom hoping she would be able to tell me what to do. She had her hands cupped over her vagina in an effort to prevent herself from peeing. She has a weak bladder and was laughing so hard she was obviously worried about soiling herself. I thought about punching her, but was worried my boob would swing into the Chinese boy's face and knock him unconscious. Knowing my mom would be no help to me I turned to the boy's father who was standing at the counter. He was witnessing the whole scene and I assumed he would immediately put a stop to it. Instead he stood there smiling and nodding his head like this was an every day occurrence. Maybe he was even cupping his crotch like my mother, but for an entirely different reason. "What the fuck is going on here?" I thought.
My arms remained wooden at my sides as this child grabbed awkwardly at my boobs like a sixteen year old boy in the back seat of a station wagon. What is the protocal in this situation? Could I slap him? Kick him in his balls? Pick up his sixty pound body and throw him through a plate glass window? I wasn't really sure. I'm not sure what he was thinking either. Did he want me to be his girlfriend? Did he do this to every woman who walked through the door? Or did he think he was just giving me a mammogram? My boobs were becoming numb and I knew action needed to be taken before I possibly became pregnant. I pushed the boy away and ran screaming out of the restaurant. My mom came out a few minutes later with our food and found me curled up in the backseat.
"Looks like somebody made it to second base today!" she said still laughing hysterically.
"Why are you laughing?" I screamed. "I was just violated!"
"Oh get over yourself! He didn't know what he was doing!" she replied.
About a month past and I was slowly starting to forget what had happened. My mom was right he didn't know what he was doing. He was only five. It was an accident and probably wouldn't happen again. That's what I tried telling myself because I badly needed crab rangoon and was starting to go through withdrawal. So I called in an order a few days later and went to pick it up. As I was waiting nervously for my food the little boy appeared out of the mist like some kind of take out ninja. I gasped and grabbed my boobs in self defense. Again he came running up to me with his arms outstretched and AGAIN I naively thought "Oh, he just wants a hug!" So I leaned down and he immediately started honking my boobs like they were rubber ducks and it was bath time. "Ah the tit rape," I thought. "I had almost forgotten!" I stood there dumbstruck for a moment as he tried to grope me until finally my food was ready. Than I pushed the boy to the ground, grabbed my food and fled.
This would happen every time I went in there for almost the next year. I would be waiting there for me food and he would come running up to me practically foaming at the mouth at the sight of my boobs. You're probably asking yourself, "Stephanie why would you keep going there if this kept happening to you?" My answer: you don't know my life! The food was that fucking good! I had also become wary of the five year old and knew he no longer was seeking just hugs from me. So whenever he would run up to me I would hiss like a wild animal than do a cartwheel in order to avoid his advances. "You want a piece of me bitch?" I would scream. "Well come and get it!" This tactic worked, if he couldn't catch me he couldn't grab my delicate boobs. Also I think I had started to frighten him.
One day I came in to pick up an order and the little Chinese boy didn't come running up to me. He stared at me warily while perched on a stool behind the counter. I wasn't sure why. Maybe it was because I was holding a shotgun and giving him the middle finder or maybe I had become unappealing to him after gaining 200 pounds from all that Chinese food. But whatever the reason I knew I had won the battle.

As a former Horde player and current Alliance player, we can safely assume the following are reasons for this:
- 'Lok'tar Ogar! For the Horde!' is staple for all Horde. How many Alliance NPCs do you ever see yell 'For the Alliance!'? Even Varian yells something different, along the lines of "Victory and glory for the Alliance!", which is not as catchy. I used to always have my SpeakinSpell turned on so my warrior would yell the above mentioned Horde phrase when he charged, but now I just don't even bother.
- Horde has a much more sense of badassery. Alliance is made up of drunks, zealots, midgets, hippies, and space goats (Although the goats are pretty badass). Horde is made up of green killing machines, undead zombies, bullmen, voodoo worshippers, and mana addicted elves.
- Thrall. Thrall is possibly the single most badass figure in all of Warcraft lore, next to Medivh and Arthas/Ner'zhul. On that note, almost all of the Horde leaders have history built into the game from WCI-III, excluding Lor'themar, who is really a placeholder character. Alliance have plenty of Tyrande and Illidan lore (And Malfurion, who's going to make Alliance waaay more badass next expansion), a little Magni lore, almost no Varian lore, and nothing about Velen or Mekkatorque.
- Forsaken add another depth to Horde pride, because of their heart-wrenching life as a souless, cold cadaver. Orcs have a similar history, but it's downplayed compared to the Forsaken history.
- Finally, Horde tend to just be more badassed period. They run around and yell in gruff, deep voices, sometimes with refined or troll accents, and charge in and smash things.
Hope this post isn't too late for it to be noticed. Just came back from a WoW break.
