New Chinese is Arlington (Courthouse)
Last night we ate at TNR Cafe, a Chinese restaurant that just opened this weekend on Wilson Blvd at Courthouse in Arlington (next to Ireland's Four Courts). TNR stands for Tea, Noodles, Rice.
It was quite good. Arlington lacks good Chinese food; this could become one of the best. We had very good fried dumplings, sensational egg drop soup, decent hot and sour soup (not very spicy), and kung pao chicken, which was very good, although it tasted nothing like kung pao chicken normally does.
The place lacks atmosphere and energy, but they are trying, and the service was good and friendly. It might be ideal for take-out. I recommend giving it a try.
I almost got excited reading your post until I read "egg drop soup, hot and sour soup, kung pao chicken, etc." Not close to being authentic. If you're talking about that General Rosslyn/Clarendon area, the authentic (also selling americanized) joints would be China Garden and Hunan Number 1 (don't know if they're still there).
re: Chownut
Kung Pao chicken is excellent and I believe authentic at China Star. Not Chinese-American at all. Made with Sichuan peppercorns. It should be a dry saute IMO and if I'm not sure a restaurant will make it that way, I specifically ask for it dry. The driest version I've had and also excellent is at Peking Gourmet Inn, though no Sichuan peppercorns.
Hunan Number One is one of my favorites. You can't really evaluate a chinese restaurant by the dishes listed, that's basically American food. Not that there's anything wrong with eating it and enjoying it, its just not really a good measure of chinese cooking.
If you can get away from the chinese-american stuff Hunan Number one has lots of goodies, and its open late. Try that out some time.
re: mnadel
Possible, I haven't been to Hunan Number One in a while and I heard rumors that the family that owned it sold and moved, but not sure if that's true.
The food quality at Hunan one went down about a year ago when their rent and prices raised 20%. Not sure why the quality changed since they did put the extra expense on to the customer, but I don't eat there anymore.
I wouldn't judge a chinese restaurant poorly for having dishes that people expect. I judge by the dished they have that people do not expect. Hunan1 passed that test, so it is a shame it isn't good anymore.
I've only been to China Garden for dimsum, and it is good and metro train accessible. I still prefer Fortune in 7 Corners for dimsum.
re: Foodgeek
Hunan #1 is not good anymore...Very greasy.
Kung Pao Chicken and Hot & Sour soup are two of my favorite dishes....growing up in a Chinese household, their existence does not necessarily mean that it's ABC....just that 99% of the time, the restaurant has destroyed both of them. Hopefully some day, everyone will have a chance to taste both dishes homestyle. They can be excellent.
re: microwave15
Kung Pao Chicken is, I believe, prepared homestyle at Joe's Noodle House, and it's excellent.
re: MartyL
fwiw, China Star also has many of those "Chimerican" listings, but they are made with fresh veggies and housemade sauces (this was also back a couple of years ago).
Quite a few years ago I was waiting for pick up at a place in Leesburg and a Chinese restaurant supply catalog was lying on the bar. The sauces, dried veggie mixes, soups, etc are all available for order. Basically like industrial versions of Lipton Noodles and Sauce. Hence, how similar they are, down to the menus.
And on that note, most chinese restos at least at one time will prepare many dishes not on the menu. These have to be asked for. I've only ever gotten to this point with a couple of places, one being in Missouri since out here we have a few places that don't need to be supported by that other type of fare.
re: Dennis S
I'm interested in the luck you have had with ordering "good" chinese food in out-of-the-way places where most everything is chimerican. Does it work?
re: microwave15
Well, if the best thing that someone can mention about a new chinese restaurant is their "very good fried dumplings, sensational egg drop soup, decent hot and sour soup (not very spicy), and kung pao chicken.." then that's not saying much. I'm sure every corner chinese takeout can do a decent version. Not much creativity there.
re: redglass
I think Oriental Gourmet in the Lee Harrison Shopping Center is top quality for Chinese-American food, the kind of stuff I grew up on as a kid on Long Island. I didn't realize how spoiled I was. You should no longer be desperate. And a surprise: very good Peking duck, too.
re: redglass
No, Hunan Number One is still open. It's in Clarendon not too far from the metro. Even though it's listed in the yellow pages on Wison Blvd, it's actually more on the side street, I think N. Garfield. I haven't been in years but just called them today to see if they have peking duck, which they do. Planning to check it out since it's w/in walking distance for me and I'm always in search of good inexpesive peking duck.
re: tippytoes
Back in the day, I thought their rendition of clams w/ fermented black bean sauce was particularly good.
re: microwave15
Chill baby, chill.
It's really with both. A person ordering those dishes can't seriously declare it a potentially one of the best, and a restaurant serving up these kind of dishes can't be taken seriously until their authentic fare is sampled.
I went to TNR today for lunch...the menu is very basic, and the service is scattered...they may need a few weeks to get their routine down. I wasn't sure it this was an order at the counter and then sit, or full service establishment, and still don't know.
Since it was just me, I ordered their mi-fun (taiwanese style rice noodles), which is a relatively unmolested dish. I've found it to be a good ability indicator. It was OK...considering it didn't have the dried fried onions or the Krill. It's wasn't too greasy, and it wasn't too dry either....just right, despite the lacking of some key ingredients. I surveyed other tables, and didn't see anything that would make me want to go back..other than it's something different, and only a two block walk from work.
It's a place worth walking into...which is more than I can say for Panda MAXX....that place didn't even get me past the window. TNR is one of those places where you would never go alone, but are with a group of people with simple taste, so you agree to go, knowing there are a handful of fine items on a menu of 75-100 dishes.
Even so... Arlington is seriously lack in even mediocre Chinese.
Arlington lacks good Chinese food - baloney. I guess you haven't tried the Oriental Gourmet in the Harrison-Lee Shopping Center. They have a separate "traditional Chinese" menu, BUT the best food is vegetarian. The chef excels in mock meats and if they are not too busy will make almost any dish vegetarian. The vegetarian "Orange Beef" is to die for.
Not quite Arlington, but just across the border, the Oriental Star in a shopping center on Duke St. in Alexandria is also quite good. A small family run restaurant, they also can make almost all their menu using mock meats. Their vegetarian version of the old staple "sweet and sour pork" is far superior than any meat version, I ever ate in the bad old days.
re: Ed Lytwak
OK, so 1 good chinese restaurant to support a resident population of 200,000+ plus those employees in the county? That still qualifies as lacking.
re: microwave15
What about the place in the old USA Today buildings? I've not had a chance to go yet, but it used to be mentioned a good amount here.
re: Ed Lytwak
Never realized they had a 'hidden' menu! Though - I did once ask if they could prepare the kung pao chicken 'ma la' with sichuan peppercorns and dry fried (they normally prepare this very well, anyway). They did a reasonably good job of making it hot and dry, though I doubt they keep any Sichuan peppercorns on hand, so no numbing.
Thanks for the tip. We'll have to talk about Krakow sometime. Send me a PM.
re: Steve
Krakow was real surprise for vegetarians/vegans. After days on the road in rural southeast Poland and living on pierogies, potato pancakes & pizza, we found an incredible array of vegan restaurants that were either exclusively or very friendly for vegetarians - even vegans - in Krakow, all in the vicinity of the old town. Smak Sviata, Pierogiarna, Smak Ukrainska, and a number of excellent small cafes.
TNR has great food and really good prices. They now serve bubble tea too, which is a huge plus. Service has definitely improved (I've become a regular). I've been looking for a Chinese restaurant that serves a non-diluted version and this definitely is it. I doubt anybody will be disappointed when it comes to taste. Great food at cheap prices is hard to come by in this area.

The architecture of XP
In my perpetual thoughts about what software architecture is, this morning I thought about how the architecture of Extreme Programming is not the twelve practices (which would be true if architecture is defined as the structure of something). Rather, the architecture of XP is the Four Values (simplicity, feedback, communication and courage) and the fifteen principles derived from these values (rapid feedback, assume simplicity, incremental change, embrace change, quality work etc; these are presented in Beck's XP Explained).
The twelve practices are merely one possible implementation of the XP architecture. Under different circumstances, the implementation will be different. If the default implementation as presented by XP Explained won't work for you, you'll have to adjust the practices according to the architecture (that is, according to the values and principles).
I recently blogged about the origins of software architecture (see here) after having read about architecture being defined as the top segment of the "design decision tree" for a system. This would be true only if the early design decisions are concerned with the values and principles for the system under construction.

As Bella sat staring out her bedroom window life continued on as if no one was aware of her broken heart. She really had no concern for what time of year it was or what the world was doing outside her bedroom window; the only thing on her mind was Edward and why he had chosen to leave her. She had loved him with her whole heart and every fiber of her being but it hadn't been enough he left her anyway. She had tried to lie and convince herself that she had been better off without him but she knew the truth. The truth was she would never be the same, could never be the same without him. So instead of venturing out to start a new life and moving on as everyone had told her to she sat curled up in her chair and watched life go on outside her window trying to live the memories they had shared. Alice had been by her side and had tried to tell her that Edward loved her and that the only reason he had left was because he had honestly thought it was best for her, safer for her. Bella blamed herself for everything that had went wrong and she blamed herself for the fact that in the end he had gotten himself killed anyway. He had left leaving her behind and not only that but he had tried to take everything that would remind her of him, but he couldn't take her heart. Her heart remembered every touch, every kiss and every moment spent with him and she knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that he loved her, had always loved her. With that knowledge she and Alice had ran as fast as possible to Italy to try and stop him from making the most ultimate of sacrifices but they had been too late. He had stood in the middle of the plaza in the glaring high noon sun amid thousands and thousands of humans as they sat, stood and froze at the vision before them. Edward in the sunlight had been beautiful, magnificent. He was like a god, with rainbow shards glimmering on the sidewalk and reflecting off the windows, sparkling like a diamond. Of course the Volturi couldn't let that happen so he had been seized immediately and taken beyond the palace gates to never be seen again. The crowds began to murmur but in the end they had been led to believe that it had all been an illusion, a trick of the brilliant sunlight. Bella and Alice had arrived just a minute too late. As they had raced as fast as they could down the corridors and up the winding steps that led them to the colorless, cavern like room that held him they could hear his tortured screams as his life ebbed away. As they barged into the room they saw him lying in the floor with his life already gone, his body a crumbled heap on the floor. Bella had held what was left him in her arms and cried hysterically begging for someone, anyone to bring him back to her for she knew she could live without many things but to live without the hope of ever seeing him again was impossible. She had already tried to live without him once and it hadn't worked and she knew it wouldn't work now for now all hope was gone, dead in her arms. Here she sat on the cobblestone floor with the pieces of her one true love in her arms knowing that from that moment forward she would never see his tousled bronze hair, his crooked smile or the love that would shine so bright in his eyes that it was impossible to see anything else. She had held him until the guards had taken him away and she smelled the fire and knew that her life as she had known it was over. So now here she was a lifeless entity with no thought of living but just barely existing. She was a shell of the person she had once been. She asked herself every day how had it ended like this? How was she supposed to go on now? She had given up on life and only wanted to live in her dream world where Edward was as alive as he had ever been. As she drifted further and further away Edward watched her and ached to ease her pain. He only asked for one more day with her or even just an hour he just needed to take her pain away. He too blamed himself for everything that had happened and only wanted to tell Bella that somehow, someway everything would be okay, that she would be okay.
Edward never intended to enter Bella's room, but he could see her curled up on her bed with tears still drying on her cheeks. She was clutching an old Harvard sweatshirt that had once been his. He was drawn inside by the very smell of her drifting through the open window; how many times had he been here before? How many nights had she left her window cracked for his late night entries? He wondered if she did this out of habit or in hope that he would somehow come back. He quietly swung his legs over the window seal and lowered himself soundlessly inside. The room was exactly as he remembered it. The soft sweet floral scent of her lingered in the air and just seemed to pull him in. He could see her Chap Stick and hair clasps strewn on the vanity; she had never been very organized. He laughed as the memories filled his mind, Bella looking for her keys or searching for her i-pod. As he continued to scan the room his gaze settled on a corner shelf and he felt his chest tighten. It wasn't the deep blue corsage from prom or the crumbled movie tickets from their one and only attempt at a normal date nor was it the baseball from their very first date but it was the 5 x10 framed photos. He could see Bella in his mind's eye chewing on her bottom lip and how she had objected to having her picture taken. He had tried to take everything that might cause her unnecessary pain when he left but Bella had clung to every memory like a lifeline. He could see the rocking chair where he had sat so many nights and watched her sleep. How many times had he sat in that very chair and wished to be a part of her world rather than his own? He crossed the room and saw his Cullen family baseball cap on her bed post. He realized that there were traces of him everywhere, as if she refused to let him go. He quickly gathered all these left over reminders and placed them beside the window as if their absence would wash away all memory of him. He had been wrong to think that she would ever let go or forget so easily. He now stood by her bedside and watched the soft moonlight illuminate her perfect face. He could see the faint tracks where her tears had fallen before sleep had finally taken over. His poor Bella, she would always be his Bella and it made his very being ache to see her in such turmoil. Edward tried to imagine what it would be like to never see her again, to envision her with someone else but the vision just wouldn't come. He couldn't think of her as anything but his, she would always be his. He just couldn't fathom not knowing or remembering her. He continued to stand at her side mesmerized by the rise and fall of her uneven breathing and the beauty that was Bella. She began to toss and turn, tangling the sheets and he could see pain radiating from every pore of her body. He heard her call his name as if what was left of her heart was breaking into tiny fragmented slivers that would never be put back in quiet the right place again. He thought of Adrianna the angel of time and memory maybe she was right it would be better for everyone to forget. He could not bear to see Bella in such turmoil and unending pain, if forgetting would heal her and make her whole then that was what he would do. He touched the small flask in his pocket and the leather pouch that she had given him and he knew what he had to do. As he stood and lovingly watched her, trying to memorize every facet of her face and ever sigh and moan that escaped her lips she slowly opened her lovely brown eyes. She blinked twice and then smiled a radiant smile that shone brighter than the sun.
"This dream is much nicer than the other ones."
He smiled as he walked to the edge of her bed and knelt by her side, to clasp her hand firmly in his. He saw the life sparkling back into her once dull eyes. She smiled so serenely and so lovingly it made him ache for what he knew would come next.
"Bella, love I have missed you so."
"Oh Edward I can't even put into words how much the absence of you has turned my world upside down leaving a huge hole where my heart should be."
Edward cringed as the words fell freely from her sweet lips. He knew that Bella had no reason to censor her words she would never lie to him, unlike the blasphemy that had poured out of his mouth when he had left. He regretted the harm he had caused her and would gladly do it over again if he could but he knew that would never happen. He drew a ragged breath and tried to form the words that he needed to say.
"Bella please listen for I do not have much time. I need to share some things with you and I hope that you understand and that somehow you will remember that you once knew a boy who loved you more than life itself."
Edward could see the look of confusion filling her eyes and worry knitting her brow. As she gazed into his eyes she pulled on her bottom lip and he knew she was already fretting about what he had to say. She reluctantly nodded her head and waited for him to continue.
"Bella I know when I leave here tonight you will have no memory of me or this conversation but I still feel the overwhelming need to explain and apologize for the things that I caused to happen. I have always loved you even before I knew you I loved you. I spent my entire existence waiting for you. I was wrong for thinking I could walk away from you and I am so sorry for the pain I caused you. I want you to know that nothing that happened was your fault if there is any blame it falls solely on me. I made my decisions and I alone am to blame for what came next. My love for you was so vast that nothing could measure the depth of my love for you. Bella before you my life was a cold, dark and miserable place and then you came along and pulled me out of the darkness that had become my life. It was you brought my cold dead heart back to life and at times it was as if I could hear it beating. I knew I should have left before things went too far but I wasn't strong enough to leave you or to deprive myself of your company so I stayed. I am so sorry that my selfishness has caused you so much pain."
Edward had to stop before he came completely undone and became a blubbering mess. He rested his head on the edge of the bed and felt Bella's butterfly soft touch as she began to run her fingers through his tousled hair. He marveled at the exquisite feel of her hand and knew that was just one of the many things he would be missing tomorrow. She began to mummer soft words of love and comfort in his ear and he could feel the warmth of her breath and the touch of her lips grazing his skin. Edward struggled to lift his head and see her troubled eyes looking expectantly at him.
"Bella promise me something."
He waited as she looked at him and nodded her head. Edward knew she wouldn't remember him come morning but maybe she would be able to somehow keep this promise.
"Love please don't stop living. You have to promise me you will get up each day and take whatever cards are dealt and make the most of whatever this life has to offer. I want you to believe in the gift of love. I know when I leave you tonight that all our memories will fade and our life together will be no more than a dream that never came true, our lives as we have known them will be over. I know that time will pass and life will go on, but Bella my heart will remember when you were mine and my heart will not let me forget. I know that if there is any possible way for my spirit to come back to this earth that I will find my way back to you. I love you always your name and memory will be etched in my heart for eternity and beyond and I will find my way back to you."
Edward raised Bella's hand to his lips and gently pressed them to each of her fingers, then her palm. He slowly made his way up her neck until he found her mouth that was parted waiting to meet him half way. He savored the feel of her lips and the teasing of her anxious tongue as it assaulted his. He felt very much alive as if a million tiny fireworks were exploding behind his closed eyelids and the sensations that ran through his body had him shivering in want. Edward struggled to bring this life altering kiss to an end even though it was the last thing he wanted to do. He carefully pushed Bella away and let her head fall to rest on his chest. As he held her close he felt the rapid beating of her heart and the shallow breaths she now drew in and out. She raised her head slightly and looked at him questioningly.
"Edward I know this is a dream, your lips are so soft and warm and the touch of your hand so soothing as if you're taking all my pain away."
He sighed and drew her closer to his chest so she would not see the truth hiding in his eyes. Edward never wanted her to feel an ounce of pain ever again. He knew she had endured enough for a lifetime already. He would not let her continue to suffer because of him and his poor judgment.
"Bella, my Bella I love you so much and it is for you I am doing the unthinkable. Please try to get up each day and put one foot in front of the other and see where this new life takes you. You just have to breathe in and out and know that there will always be someone out there who always has and always will love you."
He eased her back on her pillows and stood beside her bed. She was watching him as silent tears began to fall down her face. He held out his hand to catch one and clutched it in his fist as if that would thrust all her pain onto him. He would leave until she fell asleep. He slowly made his way to the window before glancing over his shoulder.
"Edward please come back I don't want to be alone anymore. Just don't go until I have fallen asleep."
He could see her outstretched arms reaching for him. That one simple request was all that it took and he was by her side. He lay beside her and held her close to his heart. He would do this one thing for her before he left, he would stay until sleep came.
"Love close your eyes and go to sleep. "
He lost all track of time as he closed his eyes and tried to ingrain every memory firmly in his mind. He would not let himself forget one second of his life with Bella. He had no idea how long it was before she drifted off to sleep. He lay perfectly still beside her and listened to her strong heart beat until her breathing evened out and her soft mummers fell silent. The time had come. He rose from the bed and gripped the pouch in his hand. Edward quickly before changing his mind shook the memory dust in the air and watched as it fell on Bella's sleeping body. He could see the tiny particles floating like tiny dust fairies in the shimmering moonlight. He knew in the morning any memory or idea she had of him would be forgotten forever. Edward could hear her talking in her sleep and calling out for him. The hardest thing he had ever done was turn away from his heart and walk to the window. He gathered up all reminders of the past before looking over his shoulder one last time. He drank in the sight of his Bella, his love, the only heaven he ever wanted to know. He pushed himself off the window ledge and landed softly on his feet already running to the forest. He found a place to stop and he took the flask out of his pocket. He knew that Adrianna would be here soon and that he had to finish this. He removed the cork and turned the bottle up and drained the dark, bitter liquid it held inside. It took his breath away as he felt a burn going down his throat and then back up again. He had never felt such pain not even as a new born. He threw the empty flask watching as it shattered into the bushes. He cursed the vile fluid that by the light of the morning sun would have erased all memory of his heart.
"Edward come we have to leave."
He looked up to see Adrianna standing before him. She was so graceful and beautiful in a majestic kind of way. When she took him in her arms and unfolded her golden wings it was mind altering. She was indeed a sight to behold. She took off and within seconds they were in Heaven's gates. Edward looked around and nothing had changed it was just as it had been earlier. He could see the streets of gold, he could hear choirs of angels singing the most beautiful hymns ever written but amid all the beauty and perfection he still missed his Bella. He hadn't been sure what to expect but he knew that at some point Bella would be gone from him forever.
He looked at Adrianna waiting to see what was to become of him now. As her eyes rested on Edward he could see mercy and pity shine in her angel's eyes.
"Edward you know that I am the angel of time and memory. I don't think you really understand what that means but I am going to explain it to you. When you went to Italy and begged to be killed I was watching you. Bella and Alice raced to get to you but they arrived too late. I watched as Bella held your broken body in her arms. She was devastated and she pleaded and begged for someone to give back her Edward. I heard her cries and that is why I brought you here. I feel that even though your heart had ceased to beat it was still a good heart and you Edward were a good person. I think you lived an honorable life despite the circumstance you found yourself in. I feel that had you been able to live your life you would have been a selfless person who would have changed the world for the better. It is for these reasons that I think you deserve a second chance. I had to be sure that you had Bella's best interest at heart, so I sent you to see her and to see if you would be unselfish. I know how you wanted to leave and not enter her room but you did it for her. I know how hard that was for you seeing her like that and then to talk to her and touch her for the last time and yet you never faltered you did the one thing that broke what was left of your heart. You chose to make Bella's life better even though it meant her forgetting you completely. I gave you the potion that at first light will wipe your memory clean, at that time I am sending you back to earth for a second chance to be human. I hope you are able to have a chance at love, happiness and the life you were meant to have because you Edward Anthony Masen deserve it. Good luck Edward now sleeps and when morning comes go and find your place in the world for no foot print is too small to leave its mark."
He watched as she began to sparkle so bright he had to cover his eyes and then in a shower of light she was gone. He had so many unanswered questions. He didn't see how he could possibly not remember Bella and even if his human mind forgot he vowed that some way, somehow he would find her again.
He fought to stay awake to not close his eyes but eventually he lost the battle and he succumbed to the effect of the potion. He closed his eyes as visions of Bella filled his dreams.

I am happy to say that I am touching up the next chapter and will have it up today!! Yay just for you. I can't wait to read your update so stick to the plan, I update and you update. I love it whan a plan comes together.LOL. Ok off to finish up that chapter!!
Edward could see Bella fighting to keep her eyes open as sleep finally won the battle. She had been laughing softly one minute and sleeping like a baby the next. He liked to watch her sleep; she seemed so young and innocent as if she hadn't a care in the world. He wondered what her dreams were like, did she dream of him, of the life they might have one day when the threat of rabid vampires was a thing of the past. Edward watched the steady rise and fall of her chest as her breathing evened out and her heart rate slowed to a moderate thump that was like the most beautiful song he had ever heard. He could see the hint of a smile was playing at the edges of her mouth until it finally spread across her angel's face. She quietly whispered his name almost reverently he was once again in ah of her love for him. He knew Bella loved him but he still wondered why. He knew she was too good for him and that he in no way deserved her. The more he thought about it he was so glad that she could overlook all of his faults and shortcomings and love him despite how inadequate he was.
She inched toward him closing the tiny gap that had separated them. Bella turned into him as she breathed his name in the still quiet of the room. He wrapped her in his arms as he dropped a kiss on her head. Edward closed his eyes seeing only Bella as sleep took over.
"Alice come on I don't need a complete makeover in the airport bathroom."
"I knew I should have spent the night with you. Look at this hair."
Bella rolled her eyes as Alice combed and pulled her hair into a ponytail. She then started with the makeup. Bella sighed as the blush was applied and she wished she could skip this whole makeover.
"Look Alice I am going to fall asleep as soon as I get on the plane so what is the point of all this?"
"It doesn't matter what you do but it's how you look while you're doing it, that my dear is the point. Oh and by the way you'll look marvelous while you sleep."
Bella rolled her eyes in Alice's general direction and tried to hide the smile that was threatening to appear. She loved the crazy pixie so she would endure this torture but only because it was Alice. She tried to think of more pleasant things like sand, sun and seeing her mom again. She hadn't realized how much she had missed her mother but the thought of seeing her made her stomach dance with butterflies and her heart beat wildly out of control. She was anxious, excited and nervous about introducing Edward to her mother. Renee already had a preconceived notion of who and what Edward was and trying to convince her that he was not a scheming, lying, overindulged playboy was going to be next to impossible.
"Ok put this lipstick on and you're all done."
Bella looked in the mirror and was once again amazed at the reflection staring back at her. Alice was an artist and she always made Bella look so much prettier than she really was or at least that was what Bella thought.
"Thank you Alice, you did it again."
"What exactly are you talking about Bella?"
"You made me look beautiful."
"Bella you are beautiful. I only enhanced what God gave you."
Bella followed Alice out of the bathroom and into the congested airport. She looked for Edward and saw him sitting exactly where she had left him. He looked up and met her stare and smiled. Alice took Bella's hand and pulled her through the crowd, until she was at last standing in front of Edward.
He had known the moment she had entered the concourse it was that hum that always seemed to be buzzing in the air whenever Bella was in his general vicinity. He smiled up at her and wondered for the millionth time why she settled for him.
"Hello love. I am glad you survived Alice's unending torture."
Bella dropped into the vacant chair beside Edward and scowled at Alice.
"Make-up an unnecessary evil and she even made me put on lipstick."
Bella pursed her lips in a un-lady like pout. Edward smiled and turned her face toward his, "Well I can help you take it off?" He then leaned down and lightly pressed his lips to hers and the fireworks were once again dancing in his head. His blood was pounding through his veins and his heart was beating louder than the 747 jumbo jets that were pulling onto the tarmac outside their window. Bella did such odd things to his head and his heart but he loved every minute of it. He pulled her closer and deepened the kiss. He could feel Bella's own heart speeding up as her lips parted just slightly allowing him what he wanted to be a part of her for a brief moment. He gently ended the kiss and smirked at Alice who was glaring daggers at them.
"Nice very nice the children had to cover their eyes, nice job you two."
Alice was standing wither arms crossed while tapping her foot in irritation.
"Sorry Alice we had to have a little fun, sorry it was at your expense."
Alice straightened up and clapped her hands, "Ok come on they are about to start boarding for your flight. Now Bella you and Edward will be right as rain with Elizabeth watching over you. She will whisk you away if anything goes wrong."
Bella and Edward had to run to keep up with Alice as she talked and walked effortlessly through the impatient bodies rushing around them. Once they had reached the gate the announcement was being made for their flight.
"Ok you guys be careful and I will see you both soon."
Bella hugged Alice close and prayed this was not the last time she would see the evil little pixie.
"I'll miss you Alice, please take care."
"No worries Bella all will be fine, trust me."
"I never bet against you Alice."
Alice pulled Edward into a hug and watched as they made their way to the plane. When she could no longer see them she turned on one heel and walked as fast as humanly possible without drawing unwanted attention to herself.
As Alice reached her car she heard her cell phone chirping in her pocket. She pulled it out and glanced at the caller ID it was Jazz.
"Hey has something happened?"
"No I was just checking in to see how you're doing; I know how hard this is for you to watch them leave and not knowing …"
Alice closed the door and let her head fall back against the seat and sighed, "It was hard Jazz but only because I have no idea how things will progress from this point."
Jasper listened to Alice's and ached for the despair heard in her voice, "They will be fine. I have seen their future and it's perfect."
Jasper let out a breath of frustration as Alice talked in riddles."Someday Bella will marry Edward and they will have a beautiful wedding. They will have amazingly gifted and gorgeous children a boy and girl everything will be perfect for them."
Jasper was still a little confused, "Then why are you so worried? Everything turns out fine."
Alice raised her free hand to massage her temple, "Jazz I'm not worried about them; I'm worried about us."
"Alice we, as in you and me are fine."
"That's not it Jazz, when I see their future we, as all of us are not in it."
Jasper knew what Alice was thinking but it could mean nothing. He needed to reassure her that everyone would be fine; he just wasn't sure how to do it over the phone.
"Alice you know how these things work you only see glimpses. Honey just come home and stop fretting over something that hasn't even happened yet."
Jasper needed her home back in his arms. He wanted to reassure her and calm her down, "Alice honey just come home."
She smiled at his loving endearment, "I'm on my way, see you soon."
Alice ended the call and tossed the phone on the seat next her. She watched the sun climb higher in the sky to start another ordinary day but for her it was going to be the longest day of her life; and that was saying a lot her days never seemed to end. She pulled onto the freeway and tried to think of a plan that would save them all from the fire that was so real she could all but smell it burning as she slowly inhaled and then pushed the unneeded air through her nostrils. She could feel the threat approaching and she hoped that she would see something that would save them all.
Charlie threw his duffle bag into his S-10 pick-up truck and wondered how Bella was getting along in sunny Florida. He hadn't realized how cold and empty the house was without her here. They were so much alike they didn't mind the silence as long as they knew that the other was there. Charlie was starting to realize that in a few short months she would be off to college and then married. He was already losing her to Edward and his heart began to crack a little more at the realization that he would soon be completely and utterly along again.
Charlie thrust the key into the ignition and started the truck just as his cell phone began to ring. He jerked it out of his pocket to see Bella's smiling face on the screen. He quickly answered with a breathless hello.
"Bells is everything okay? Did something happen?"
He listened as her voice flowed over the line and it was like the sweetest lullaby he had ever heard. "Dad I'm good, just checking up on you. Are you on the reservation?"
Charlie laughed his baby girl always playing the little mother hen, "I'm in the truck now, heading that way. So how's your mother? What did she think of your boy Edward?"
Bella sighed deeply a sure sign it hadn't gone well, "The jury's still out on that one, apparently she's examining all the evidence very carefully."
Charlie could hear the Melrose tone in her voice but he was glad that Renee wasn't giving in to easily. He knew that Renee's opinion on the matter meant a lot to Bella so the harder it was to sway her was all the better in Charlie's way of thinking.
"Bells give her time to adjust. This is a very big deal she's realizing that your growing up and that soon you'll be get married. She loves you kid and she wants to see you make the right decisions for you."
Bella groaned into the phone, "I get it but it still sucks. Oh well so tell Billy and Harry hi for me. Oh and Dad tell Jake I miss him."
Charlie's mood brightened a bit to know she was thinking of Jake. Who knows maybe she could still change her mind in the end.
"Sure thing, tell your mom I said hi."
"Ok Dad and I love you."
Charlie could hear the desperation in her voice as if she might never see him again and it worried him. He wondered what she was neglecting to tell him.
"Love you more. Bells are you sure that everything is okay?"
"Yeah Dad I just miss you. Ok gotta run Mom is taking us sightseeing today."
"Have fun talk to you soon."
"Bye Dad."
Charlie waited until he heard Bella ending the call to hit the end button on his phone. He knew with every fiber of his being that something was very wrong and the fact that Bella lied to him worried him. Bella was a good kid and she didn't lie, so what the hell was going on?
Bella flipped her cell phone closed and looked at Edward. He looked very relaxed as he sat on the patio talking shop with Phil; as if hadn't a care in the world. It really hadn't taken much to win Phil over all he had to do was talk baseball. Bella was surprised at all the useless trivia Edward knew about the sport but she was grateful that it had come in handy.
Bella heard the glass door as it slid open and her mother joined her in the kitchen. She placed an arm around Bella's shoulder, "Honey are you okay? You look worried."
Bella swallowed back the fear and anxiety that was threatening to erupt and smiled, "Just checking on Dad, he can't even match his own socks so I am sure he's a mess right now."
Renee watched Bella's eyes and she could see the trouble swirling around her brown orbs, "Bella honey it's more than that. You know you can tell me anything right."
Bella nodded her head and looked away from Renee's intense stare, "I know that mom but everything is fine now."
"Ok then we should get going I have so much planned for today."
Bella laughed and followed her out the door to join Edward and Phil. She stood next to Edward who immediately enclosed her hand in his own. He began to rub small circles on her palm.
"How's Charlie?"
"He's good on his way to the reservation to meet Billy and Harry."
Edward smiled and nodded his head. Bella had been a basket case all morning so afraid he's back out and might end up in the middle of the bloodbath that might occur. Edward had no way of knowing how things would work out but he had complete faith in his family. He knew that Alice would be one step ahead of the Volturi and Victoria he just hoped that advantage would be enough for them to defeat the guard as well as the newborns. Edward knew the wolves provided another advantage for the enemies had no idea they even existed. He wished he could be there to see the astonished looks on their evil faces as the wolves tore their smug overconfident soulless bodies to pieces and turned them to ash.
Edward followed Bella along the sidewalk to the beach that was swarming with people. Renee and Phil walked a little ways ahead and as they drew near he could hear the music of a live band. He could smell the sweet sugary smell of cotton candy and the burning batter drippings of a long gone corn dog. There were booths scattered all along the beach selling everything from fake Prada to Air Jordan's.
"Edward have you ever been on a Ferris wheel?"
Edward looked at the carnival rides that dotted the beach, "Once a very long time ago."
Bella smiled at him, "Well we're going to do that first."
Edward let Bella pull him along the beach until they were ready to board the Ferris wheel. Bella handed the young kid their tickets and climbed in the swaying bucket. Then they were moving slowly toward the sky as the ride filled up. Finally they were moving at fast steady speed.
"Edward you know I love you right?'
He squeezed her hand, "Of course as I love you."
Bella squeezed his hand back, "I just want you to know that whatever happens back home that won't change. I will love you no matter what we find we return."
Edward knew there was an internal battle waging, she wanted to help but she knew that there was nothing she could do. She felt responsible for everyone she had left behind. Edward felt the guilt as well but there really wasn't anything they could do to help besides staying out of the way. He hoped that because of their absence no battle would ensue. He could hope.
Edward gazed at the water that was rolling along the shoreline and he was amazed by the simple beauty of the waves as they crashed along the rocks on the other side of the pier. Life was beautiful when you took the time to look at what was around you. He could see Bella lost in her own thoughts and he took advantage of being stopped on top to steal a kiss. He leaned down and captured her lips, he nibbled on her lower lip until she giggled and he could feel her lips as they parted allowing him to deepen the kiss until he could feel the hum running like wild fire through his veins and he ached for more. As they slowly descended Edward ended the kiss. They climbed out of the bucket and made their way to Renee and Phil.
"It looked like you kids were having fun." Renee looked pointedly at Edward as her words hit their mark.
Edward blushed under Renee's watchful eye. He saw her eating something pink and fluffy, cotton candy. He wondered what it tasted like, if it was as good as it looked. Renee caught him staring at her.
"Edward would you like some cotton candy?"
Renee held the confection toward him and he took a bite. He was amazed at the sugary burst of flavor that filled his mouth as it melted as soon as it hit his tongue. He had never tasted anything like it and he loved it. He looked at the street vendor and saw that it came in blue as well as pink.
"Wow that is so good."
Renee looked at Edward as if he were a young child, 'You've been all over the world but you've
Never had cotton candy?"
Edward shook his head no, "But there's a first time for everything."
Renee stared after Bella and Edward as they waited in line for the blue cotton candy. She wondered how someone as rich and cultured as Edward Cullen had never had cotton candy.
Alice and Jasper walked the perimeter of the clearing, trying to find the most strategically located place for the wolves to hide and make their entrance. Jasper studied the two most likely points of entrance to the field.
"Alice if you see anything it is imperative that you tell me. I think if they come in from the north we could have half the wolves come in from that embankment and the rest from behind that boulder there."
Alice walked around the clearing absentmindedly trying to see something in the dark murky waters of Aro's mind that might help. She growled as the effort made her weak, "I've got nothing. Aro's mind is like blurry images that make no sense at all."
"Alice its okay, no one is blaming you."
Alice looked across the field as Carlisle's kind eyes. She wanted so badly to see something that might give the answers they needed. She smiled weakly in Carlisle's direction.
"Thanks Carlisle but I need to save my family."
Carlisle crossed the space that separated them in half a second. He placed his arm around Alice's slight shoulders and pulled her close. He held her for a moment and looked at the field.
"Alice it's going to be okay." Carlisle released his hold on her and faced Jasper, "I think your right they will be traveling North so it makes sense that they will enter from the North. We're dealing with newborns so they won't be thinking clearly."
Alice bounced to Carlisle's side clapping her hands, "Carlisle that's it."
The rest of the Cullen's gathered around an excited Alice. Emmett was the first to ask the question on everyone's mind, "What is it Alice?"
She smiled while standing on her tiptoes, "We want them to come in from the North so we lure them to that entrance and we lead them in like a dog after a bone."
Rose looked a little confused, "And how little pixie do we do that?'
"We entice them with blood. We lead them here and then we douse the boulder and the embankment with blood and then we attack. They won't know what hit them."
Carlisle looked in Jasper's direction and nodded his head, "I think it could work. I can get the blood from the blood bank at the hospital."
Jasper was agreeing , "I think it's our best option."
Esme was standing to the side when she noticed Alice grow still. Her head fell forward and her eyes took on a faraway look as if she were in another place all together. Jasper was immediately at her side as everyone gathered around Alice. After several minutes she opened her eyes and blinked several times.
"Carlisle you might want to get that blood now."
Jasper rubbed Alice's hand, "What is it Alice, what did you see?"
"The order has been given and they'll be leaving tonight."
Carlisle began to calculate the time it would take for them to arrive. They would be here by dawn.
Yay Sarah! I'm happy, very happy! You gave a lovely, cute and sweet chapter! Edward and the cotten candy and the kiss on the ferris wheel, it was all awesome!!!!!
Update very soon please!

Beware The Popeyes Onion Ring Math Test
By November 18, 2009
Um…I guess I'll have two orders of six onion rings. (Thanks, Alan!)
The pricing makes sense to me – as supply decreases, price per unit should naturally increase.
At the McDonalds around here, you can get a 4 piece nugget for $1.00. A 10 piece is $3.99. For $0.99 less I can get two more nuggets.

Does "Rango" Promote Smoking?
Wednesday, March 9th, 2011
Johnny Depp's new animated movie "Rango" opened at the top of the box office this past weekend. Now anti-smoking advocates getting upset because "Rango" is rated PG, and it contains at least 60 instances of characters smoking. One group says that the only other animated film on par with that is "101 Dalmatians," which contains about 60 instances […]

By now you may be acquainted with the firestorm set off by the Good Men Project's publication of two rape apologies: one by the female friend of someone who "accidentally" raped a sleeping woman, the other by a (probably serial) rapist who sees raping people as the "cost of doing business" of partying. The GMP has been given a round drubbing for publishing the apologies, and subsequent apologies for the apologies, and by now most of the feminists responding to this debacle seem relieved to throw the last shovelful of dirt on its grave.
At the risk of dignifying the GMP's argument, however, I'd like to add one more nail to the coffin.* The first article, Alyssa Royse's "Nice Guys Commit Rape Too," outlines the following scenario:
In this particular case, I had watched the woman in question flirt aggressively with my friend for weeks. I had watched her sit on his lap, dance with him, twirl his hair in her fingers. I had seen her at parties discussing the various kinds of sex work she had done, and the pleasure with which she explored her own very fluid sexuality, all while looking my friend straight in the eye.
This is the woman whom her friend raped while she was asleep. Jill Filipovic at Feministe thoroughly debunks the author's argument that her friend simply misinterpreted the woman's signals and could reasonably think penetrating her while she was unconscious was the desire she was signaling: "Even if the woman's signals weren't mixed at all — even if they signaled exactly what she wanted to do — he did something that in no universe is considered acceptable or anywhere within the realm of consensual."
Her point bears elaboration. The relevant distinction, I believe, is between desire and consent. Filipovic points out the should-be obvious—that if the woman in question was in fact indicating her sexual interest in the author's friend, "she was probably interested in engaging in some sort of sexual activity — not in having sexual activity done to her like she's some sort of blow-up doll while she's unconscious." Beyond the fact that what she desired was not to be penetrated in her sleep, there stands the more fundamental fact that desire is not consent. Desire does not constitute consent, imply consent, or promiscuously suggest consent.
Desire is a state; consent is an act. Forgive the crude metaphor, but imagine you're in the market for a house. You find one you like, you express your interest to the owners, everyone's excited. You now have mutual desire. That does not mean, however, that you can move in right then and there, nor does it mean you can move in surreptitiously in the middle of the night. First you must sign a contract translating your mutual desire into terms on which you can act. The action is what makes it consent.
"The real world is a place where 'no means no' simply isn't enough," GMP senior editor Joanna Schroeder writes in her defense of the decision to publish these rape apologies. The idea she's promoting, that signals are murky and it's easy to get mixed messages, comes largely from conflating sexual interest and consent. Consent is very easy to obtain (or not obtain, as the case may be): ask. Ask "Do you want to have sex with me?" or, if you're too squeamish to name the thing you want, ask "Is this okay?" or "Do you like this?" Divining someone's desire, without asking for consent, is what's murky. Royse says that while her friend was wrong to make assumptions, "weeks of flirting, provocative dancing and intimate innuendo led him to believe that sex was the logical conclusion of their social intercourse." But desire, even if properly recognized, does not have any logical conclusion. A woman is attracted to a man: maybe she wants to have sex with him that night, maybe she wants to have sex with him after they spend some time together, maybe she wants to have sex with him but has a monogamous partner, maybe she wants to make out with him, maybe the kind of sex she wants to have with him isn't the kind he has in mind, maybe she doesn't want any physical intimacy with him for any of a thousand reasons. Desire is a state without inherent meaning.
Similarly, goodness is a state; rape is an act. Asking whether "nice" men or "good" men rape (a question implicit in the Good Men Project's hosting of this conversation) is ultimately irrelevant. I would probably not call a rapist nice or good, however he behaved when he wasn't raping people, but debating his moral or temperamental condition is just a distraction from the matter at hand. We need to hold people accountable for their actions. As Jay Smooth says about calling people out on racist remarks, we must have the "what they did" conversation, not the "what they are" conversation: "I don't care what he is, but I need to hold him accountable for what he did." The GMP is having the wrong conversation. It is a perilous diversion from holding people accountable for sexual assault.
*This risk is one I take seriously: Jill Filipovic has explained the dangers of fostering a conversation that asserts that "Nice Guys Commit Rape Too" (the title of the first rape apology). Research demonstrates that rapes are committed by a small number of men who usually rape more than once, who believe that rapists are much more common than they actually are, and who are more likely to rape when surrounded by acceptance of cultural myths about rape–such as "nice guys commit rape too." So the GMP's rhetoric around having a much-needed but politically incorrect conversation is shaky even before the conversation begins.

Inspiration: Cildo Meireles' Red Room at Tate Modern
We're loving Brazilian conceptual artist Cildo Meireles' Red Shift room at Tate Modern. The piece was conceived, as Meireles puts it, as "a place in which someone, for some reason – whether due to preference, mania, imposition or circumstance – would accumulate in a given place the greatest possible number of objects in different shades of red."
More images after the jump...
We see this, maybe not implemented quite so thoroughly, as a great jumping off point for a monochromatic space. What about you? Would you consider a room done entirely in one shade?
For those in London, the Meireles exhibition runs through January 11, 2008.

What if there were one object that were another shade?
Like a kelly green pillow?
The room would vibrate.
I spy something...red!
"Would you consider a room done entirely in one shade?"
This is two shades: Red and White.
However, many folks already stick to one color in their rooms: Beige.
why does this remind me of "the shining"??
Um, no.
Great. But why go half way? The walls need to be red too.
This probably looks better in the picture than in person.
Only one way to find out...
I like it!
And my that I mean I'd take a stab it living in it ( no pun intended). Imagine this in a house done room by room- a red room, blue room, brown room, yellow room- including the wall color. What a wild and surreal way to see how colors affect your mood...
I prefer the way Marlon does things like in his green (and then blue) pad, which ended up in the "Apartment Therapy Presents..." book. He did color on his walls, but just black and white on everything else. It was just genius and beautiful.
Makes me want to ride thru on a Big Wheel.
Sunspot42, you just destroyed me! Too funny, and exactly right---
Run. Away.
I've seen good moncromatic rooms but this just gives me a headache.
Wow, I wish I was in London now... I saw a Meireles exhibition at the New Museum when I was at NYU about 10 years ago and it was incredible!

BOSTON — With its season hanging in the balance, Boston University could not have gotten off to any worse of a start in Game Two of its quarterfinal series against Northeastern. The Terriers took two penalties in the first 2:14, gave up a 5-on-3 goal to fall behind 1-0 and allowed the Huskies to register nine of the game's first 10 shots.
But the Terriers didn't let the slow start take the wind out of their sails. In fact, they caught a nice tailwind and closed out the first period with three straight goals en route to a 5-2 victory, setting up a decisive Game Three on Sunday night.
"We came out too jacked up," said senior co-captain Joe Pereira. "We had to weather the storm. We got refocused. After they got that goal, we came right back and scored, which is great. We kept coming, we kept coming, and that's the way we're going to have to play to get the game Sunday."
Ryan Ruikka knotted the game at one three minutes after Northeastern's Brodie Reid opened the scoring. Alex Chiasson started the play with some nice work down low before getting the puck out to Ruikka in the high slot. The sophomore defenseman beat Chris Rawlings, who got pulled after giving up three goals on six shots, glove-side for his second goal in as many nights.
Three minutes later, Chris Connolly led a power-play entry into the zone before feeding a trailing Matt Nieto. The freshman from California snapped a shot inside the right post to give BU the lead.
Kevin Gilroy capped off the first-period scoring when he finished off a play started by Justin Courtnall's hard work below the goal line. That fourth line of Gilroy, Courtnall and Ben Rosen sustained offensive-zone pressure all night, continuing its recent stretch of solid play at both ends of the ice.
"We just work hard," Gilroy said. "That's it. We don't try to do anything pretty. We know how we play. Each person knows their role."
Gilroy, in particular, has been playing very well of late, as he now has a four-game point streak. Prior to that streak, Gilroy had just two points in 13 games. He dressed just twice from Nov. 12 to Feb. 7.
"At first, getting out of the lineup at the beginning of the year was a little rough," Gilroy said. "I kind of let it get to me and I wasn't playing well. Then my brother Matty was kind of going through the same thing with the Rangers. And then he got into a game and one of his quotes was he said he's playing the game that he loves and it's not that hard to come back from it. I took that to heart and just refocused myself."
After Jamie Oleksiak pulled Northeastern within one late in the second, Pereira sealed the win for BU with a pair of third period goals. The first came 11:37 into the final stanza when he jammed a wraparound past backup goalie Clay Witt (29 saves). The second was an empty-netter with 35 seconds to go.
Pereira, the only senior who sees ice time for the Terriers, was not only playing to extend his season, but also his career. He said that was certainly on his mind.
"I'm not going to lie to you, I was thinking about it all night last night and this morning," Pereira said. "The guys told me it wasn't going to happen. Our family wasn't ready to separate. We came ready to play tonight. Now we've got to get ready to go get after it Sunday."
The unusual day off in the middle of the series comes as the result of BU's men's basketball team hosting the America East championship game Saturday. Jack Parker said the physical nature of the series so far makes the day of rest a welcome sight.
"I'm very, very happy we have a day off to kind of grab our breath," Parker said. "It's been a grind these first two games. I think they're a more physical and stronger team than we are maturity-wise. It'll be good for us to take a breath, come back and take an extra day before we have to play again."

The 4 Day Estimate For Expendables 2
I was forgetting it was a long weekend when I posted my box office report yesterday so we will actually have to wait until tomorrow to get the official numbers. But as of now, the 4 day estimate has Expendables 2 picking up $11.2 Million!! Expendables 2 is now estimated at $135 Million worldwide!! The $103 Million made domestically by the first film is within reach but the $274 Million global take of the first film is very unlikely to be reached. Expendables 2 presently sits at $68.5 Million domestic and $66.5 Million overseas. All numbers courtesy of Box Office Mojo. Screencrush believes Expendables 2 definitely has a shot at reaching $100 Million domestically.
Joblo held a 'Cast This' article for Expendables 3, hit the red link to check out the results!!
Thank You To: Der and Action Is R

No Steven Seagal no The Expendables 3!!!
09/03/2012 17:42
That makes no sense to me. If it has a shot to reach the first film's domestic box office, then it should have a shot at reaching the first film's global take. I say that because so far foreign sales have been doing extremely well.
09/03/2012 19:11
I say surpassing the global take is unlikely just because of the dollar amount. While EX2 is doing quite well overseas it still has to make around another $100 Million to match the first film. Domestically it only has to make around another $30 Million to match.
09/03/2012 23:56
some additioon to the box office estimate in germany for the first weekend:
09/04/2012 07:39
No chance at hitting $100 Million in the US. It will probably top out at $85 Million. I think EX3 will not happen as well. They would have to slash the budget. It would have even worse CGI and look totally DTV.
09/04/2012 19:37
Ummm, how about they not use any CGI at all? At least don't use it for blood and gore. If they have the balls to go R-rated from the beginning, they can go old school and use squibs.

Hiking Partners / Group Trip Announcements »
Eastern Sierras Overnighter
I'm going to be at East Fork Campground in Rock Creek (inyo NF) for a family camping affair. Naturally, I'll need to get the hell away from them, so I'm looking for an overnighter or 2-nighter in that area. I might have a car, but I can probably get a ride from someone there. My trusty California Hiking recommends Convict Canyon to Lake Dorothy and McGee Creek to Steelhead lake to start with.Any have any other suggestions, or know anything about permits, etc for this area? Both are in the JMW, and the website says they hold 40% of permits for walk ins. TIA
It seems that Tamarack Lakes trail leaves right from the campground, and you can summit mount morgan on an overnighter. Is this going to be crazy buggy? 25-26 August.Anyone know the trail? Anyone want to come? Joe

This song has been stuck in my head lately for some reason. It's an old song (released in 1995) and it was popular back then. I was only a kid back then, so I didn't quite understand the implication of the song, but now that I think about it there's something seriously wrong with the premise of the song.
"What if God was one of us?"
The question is poignant. People often think of God as distant, as not relatable.
But here's the thing. God was one of us: Jesus. Jesus, fully God, became fully man. He went through the complete and full human experience. How often do we think of Jesus as somehow different than a "real" human like us? Jesus was fully human, in every way just like us. He limited himself to become human. He had to learn. He had go through puberty. He had to deal with acne. He faced all the limitations of humanity that we face. God was one of us.
The real question is not, "what if God was one of us?" but "Why did God become one of us?"
The answer? "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

TEAMS: St. Louis Cardinals, Texas Rangers
With the St. Louis Cardinals stumbling down the stretch and the second wild card on the line, they have decided to leave top prospect Oscar Taveras off the major league roster. This comes when Carlos Beltran is looking like his Mets' days and the club relying on players like Pete Kozma and Dan Descalso in regular roles. Taveras came into the 2012 as a potential breakout player after a solid campaign in Lo-A ball. The Cardinals were aggressive and started the 19-year-old (he turned 20 mid-season) at Double A. Taveras responded well, leading the team in hitting and homers. Taveras also received his 3rd championship in as many seasons (Texas League with Springfield this year, Midwest League last year, and Appalachian League before that). Taveras played in the futures game this year and was named Baseball America's Double A player of the year. I took a look at Taveras's MLE (Minor League Equivalency from the calculator at ML Splits) to see how his stats would have translated to the maj...

BOSTON (AP) - Hundreds of brave or foolhardy swimmers are planning to mark the first frigid day of 2014 with a refreshing dip in Boston Harbor.
Organizers of one of Boston's oldest traditions estimate that as many as 600swimmers will plunge into the harbor for the annual "L Street Brownies NewYear's Day Swim" in the city's South Boston neighborhood.
The event has taken place for over 100 years.
Organizers say the Brownies are the oldest "polar bear" swimming club in America and promote health, fun and friendship.
The swim starts at 9:30 a.m., when temperatures are expected to be well below freezing.
Donations from the swim go to the South Boston Sports Hall of FameScholarship Fund to be awarded to South Boston residents who are high school seniors.

Bedford-Stuyvesant lays claim to the oldest high school in Brooklyn: .
Established in the late 19th Century, BGHS enrolls between 2,500 and 3,500 students annually, making it one of the largest remaining high schools in Brooklyn.
But, for how long?
Three principals in less than ten years and startling bad progress reports has raised eyebrows and garnered the attention of the Department of Education (DOE) and the New York State Education Department. In February of 2008, the State placed the school under registration review (S.U.R.R.). After a school is placed on the S.U.R.R. list, it has three years to improve, or it is closed. Once a school is closed, the DOE does what it has done to countless public schools throughout the five boros and reopens it as three or four smaller schools.
Will this BGHS's fate? The school has a long and rich history and boasts an impressive alumni, including professional basketball player Lenny Wilkins and science fiction writer Isaac Asimov. But neither has drawn as much attention to the school as alumni Frank Mickens who eventually became the school's principal. Mickens became principal in 1986, a time that students recall the school as "out of control," a "dumping ground" and failing badly.
In a few short years, Mickens had improved not only the school's graduation rate, but also the amount of students enrolling in college. His methods, however, came under fire when some in the community claimed he had been denying classes to troublesome students. But the statistics spoke for themselves: The school was turning around. By 2004, when he retired, the school had once again become a bastion of education and order.
But after Mickens retired in 2005 and Spencer Holder took over, the school quickly suffered a shaky descent from its halcyon days. Eventually, Holder was demoted to assistant principal at the start of the 2009-10 year. But by then, school violence had increased and academics were in decline.
The school's third principal in a decade, Bernard Gassaway, is now in his second year. Despite the unwanted attention the school received in 2009 after volunteer assistant coach William Miller inexplicably exposed himself in front of students after a game, Gassaway made headway. He improved the school's progress report from a "D" to a "C" and its graduation rate from 42.5 percent to 43.6 percent.
The progress is slow, but undeniable. The classroom culture is improving, and even administration and staff seem hopeful.
Still, the DOE is watching Boys and Girls High very closely, looking for any signs of regress, and thus the proof needed to dismantle it into small schools. This small-school idea was popularized by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and advanced by Mayor Bloomberg and ex-Chancellor Klein.
What are the advantages of dividing a large school into smaller ones? The Education Department claims that smaller schools have a 15 percent higher graduation rate than the city as a whole, as reported by The New York Times. The DOE also claim that the large schools are too impersonal and sometimes fail to help academically or emotionally struggling students.
But large schools have their advantages too. According to Education.com, larger schools tend to be more diverse and to offer a wider array of courses and extracurricular activities. Due to the quantity of students they serve, their budgets are usually quite high, sometimes generous. Which of these options is best for the students of Boys and Girls High?
Obviously, a school with such a long history and strong ties to its community as Boys and Girls would be mourned. With Gassaway and his staff firmly committed to reviving the school's reputation and it already showing measurable gains, there seems to be hope yet for Boys and Girls High. The school has two years left to turn things around, and the 2010-2011 academic school year will be telling.

PITTSFIELD, Mass. - At around 9:30 a.m., the Pittsfield Fire Department received a phone call stating that a woman had fallen into the frozen Housatonic River.
Two women had been walking along the bank of the river together with a dog, when the dog got loose and one of the women chased after, in an attempt to catch him.
The woman who was chasing after the dog ended up falling into the frozen river and becoming submerged about ¾ of the way in the water.
Due to the slope of the bank, she became stuck, clinging to the edges in order to remain above water.
Pittsfield Fire Department immediately deployed three engines and a command car toward her rescue effort.
The description of the woman's location was vague, but firefighters knew that her location along the river paralleled Holmes Road.
The woman had been in the water for roughly twenty minutes when Pittsfield firefighters located her.
One Pittsfield firefighter immediately put on an ice-rescue suit and got into the water to assist the woman out.
The woman was transported to Berkshire Medical Center, and Fire Captain Garner of the Pittsfield Fire Department said that he believed she would be okay.
The dog, who did not fall in the water, is ok and with its owners.
