A memo of uncertain origins has fallen into our hands, mapping out prospects for Democratic governors this year and next.
The Democratic Governors Association tells us it is not an official DGA document — but that the memo does track closely with the content of a conference call that occurred this week between DGA officialdom and allies/donors.
The entire memo, obviously written for fund-raising purposes, can be found here. But this is the carefully worded portion that has raised eyebrows in Georgia, especially among Democratic gubernatorial candidates who aren't named Roy:
Georgia, Florida, and South Dakota are three states we may be able to put into play depending on our candidate recruitment successes.
In Florida, Governor Charlie Crist looks more and more like a Senate candidate every day and is expected to announce his decision late next week.
In Georgia last week, Republican LG Casey Cagle, long seen as the GOP frontrunner, suddenly dropped out of the race. This race looks to be competitive no matter what, and will only be enhanced by the potential entry of former Democratic Governor Roy Barnes.
And in South Dakota, a potential Stephanie Herseth Sandlin entry into the race would all but solidify a Democratic steal in the state.
In other words, the official DGA position is that Georgia would be a competitive race even if Barnes doesn't get into the race. But it's worth mentioning that he might.
We will pass the word to the unmentioned rabble in the field: Thurbert Baker, DuBose Porter, and David Poythress.

The Spector switch this week weakens the chance for democrats to win governorships in 2010 and 2012. Given the fact that there is complete one party rule in D.C. the democrats will not be able to restrain themselves on any liberal legislative issues and will turn independents away from the party.

John, we'll just have to wait and see. If they do"restrain themselves", they'll add to the governorships and congress.

Georgia's Candidate, DuBose Porter
As a past aide to DuBose Porter, I can tell you that he has fallen on the sword for school teachers, students, the PTA, school nurses, and every other entity involved with schools in Georgia. Teachers as well as all those who truly want to see education in this state move up from the bottom of the rankings will firmly support DuBose Porter. He will get the paper work off the teachers so they can teach and get disipline back in the classroom so children can learn.
He has served as the chair of both Education and Higher Education, building great programs that completely transformed local elementary schools in his district. In addition to fighting for the University System, Representative Porter has worked hard for Junior and Technical Colleges. He truly understands the better educated a person is the less they are to become tax-takers and the better a chance they have to share the tax burden with the rest of us. Education is a win-win situation. If you want the truth, there has not been a Governor since Zell Miller that truly cares for education or law enforcement. If you are looking for someone that really cares, DuBose Porter is that man.
In addition to law enforcement and education, DuBose Porter also understands the needs of transportation to both the metro area and rural Georgia. In order for Georgia to continue to grow and grow in the correct ways, gridlock must come to an end in the Metro area. He also understands that rural Georgia needs a transportation plan in order to attract higher quality and a higher quantity of industry.
Representative Porter was a dedicated and valued member of the Nature Conservancy Board, a group that understands the needs of the environment and Georgia, for twenty years. He has always worked to protect the land and water in Georgia and will continue to fight to ensure the highest quality of life for our future generations. His love of nature is evident by his hiking trips with his sons and their many family trips canoeing down Georgia's rivers, which he will continue to protect.
DuBose Porter's family values cannot be rivaled. Both he and his four sons are Eagle Scouts. Scouting is a way of life for them including the tenents of the Boy Scout oath. DuBose and his wife are an inseparable team, working hard to make Georgia the obvious choice for Georgia's children, including their own, to live and thrive. Ask anyone in Representative Porter's district about the Porter family. You won't get a negative response because everyone loves them–just look at the overwhelming majority he won in his district in the last election cycle.
Six years ago, when Georgia went red, most of the Democrats went home to make a boatload of money in the private sector. They were out of sight politically, however, DuBose Porter stayed in the trenches and worked to bring Georgians together. He didn't give up because he believes that there are more issues that unite Georgia than issues that divide us. He feels Georgians are closer on the issues than the consultants, talking heads and spin masters would have us believe. If we really want to bring Georgia together, we need DuBose Porter.
DuBose Porter is the one to watch. As a family man, small business owner, Eagle Scout, churchgoer and believer in God, he is going to take this state by storm. DuBose understands the needs of both urban and rural Georgia. DuBose is the guy to bring this state together and move it forward. Twenty seven years of legislative experience and an astonishing ability to bring diverse groups of people together for the good of Georgia are just a few of the reasons why he has the qualifications that make him the perfect candidate for Governor. Though his name recognition is not strong in all parts of the state because he has never been a grandstander, it will come once the word of his record and his true family values gets out to the state and it will.
DuBose Porter is a consensus builder. It might take time to get his message across Georgia, but with an extremely loyal (you see how I feel) campaign team we will get it out. Add support from all of the Georgians that are fed up with the bickering that divides us and are ready to move forward, and you will see DuBose Porter will become your next Governor. Just ask a teacher.U

Max Cleland is the man for the governorship. Why pick losers? Don't all who really "count," reading this blog, live in Georgia? The People made Obama president over the best efforts of the sectarian faction that's gotten us into this jamb, and every "Republican" candidate in the race, now or later, is tarred by that.
By his grace and humility, and wisdom as a Constitutional Law professor, America is going to come back strong with an actually presidential president, and restore the Rule of Law: Righteousness in Our Land. Should Georgia, one of the Original Thirteen responsible for the creation of The United States of America, now hold back as Our Country is restored?
G-d, by Our Creed, "Annuit Coeptis," will bless us as never before: The Promised Land.
Senator Cleland was cheated out of his seat in the Senate by a lying, draft-dodging supporter of a traitor and false Christian: Ted Haggard's "good buddy" closet-queen and draft-dodger, 9-11-committing George Bush.
When Max was a member of the 9/11 Commission he was issued a number of books to read to better understand 9/11, one of which was Emeritus Professor David Ray Griffin's, "The New Pearl Harbor." Soon thereafter he quit the commission telling America that the Bush administration was "stonewalling," "withholding" important information.
Now each of us can read for free what we can know was the key to quitting the commission.
Just go to Google Scholar and put in "The New Pearl Harbor" pdf and you can download a complete copy, donated to the American People and the world by the publisher and author.
Here's one of multiple links to a site giving it out: http://www.angelfire.com/biz/hankramey/The%20New%20Pearl%20Harbor.pdf
Bush did 9/11. Read the book by a respected scholar of proven integrity.
Handel, Oxendine, Deal, Westmoreland, Gingrich, Chambliss, Isakson, Perdue and all the rest of the Gay Old Pervert farm team whose master is the Roman Anti-Christ's Vatican-banker and Big Oil, Hitler-financing Rockefeller Fifth Column, lacked the intelligence, patriotism, and discernment to protect Georgia and America from what Bush and Cheney did to us, or to bring them to justice. Innocent blood is on their hands and We, the People, must get out in front of Obama and do the righteous work of justice ourselves.
Cleland's righteousness was proven. G-d sustained him through the horror of Vietnam when he took The Oath and answered the Call with 9.2 million other great Americans.
It's beyond coincidence that all the Gay Old Perverts of the Vietnam generation dodged, didn't protest, and became part of the traitorous Fifth Column Bush's father was serving when he and Nixon killed John Kennedy for ordering our military withdrawal and for taking the pope's bankers of the unconstitutional Fed off our money supply.
Georgians are the best, the best men, the best women, the best land and the best climate…and the best city…what I believe is the prophesied New Jerusalem, Atlanta GA…(We've got to claim the blessings: from having a pulse when you wake up each day, to having food to eat, to having air to breath, to having the prophesied New Jerusalem in the New Israel to call home).
But each of us has work to do in cultivating this "Garden." See something broke, fix it. See evil happening, stop it.
Max Cleland has proven his integrity as a man, as a public servant, and as a patriot, and we need him now to help turn this Ship of State around.
No more 11th hour tax-breaks for Perdue, no more Linger Longer "Bush good buddies" stealing Jekyll Island.
Good government requires that good people hire good men and women at the ballot box. Max Cleland was right about 9/11 and 9/11 is the key to our breaking Satan's grip on America.
Pull on the "string" of the torture Bush and Cheney committed in order to get "confessions" from others for the crimes they, themselves, know they committed, so hard it snaps their necks on a gallows at the Navy Yard for us, for our ancestors, our children and posterity, and for all succeeding generations of true Americans who will tell tales for hundreds and thousands of years to come, G-d willing, of how Atlanta and Georgia helped America cast the Beast into the Pit.
Nothing to it but to do it. The task has begun. Obama is anointed.
Now Georgia must redeem ourselves, cleanse ourselves of this evil we allowed to rule over us, by making Max Cleland Governor of Georgia!

Yeah, Dropping out of college my first semester and enlisting in the Regular Army in 1968 sort of proved….something. But what's that got to do with my telling the truth about why Max Cleland should be Governor of Gerogia, and why the pervert draft-dodgers, fakers, and cursed of G-d who make up the false "Republican" party shouldn't? I want the best for my town, community and state. Evil is easy enough to see. Why do you think Karen Handel never raised a family? What kind of person would needlessly turn on the sirens and lights of an official state car to get through traffic the way Oxendine did? Who would associate with the Jekyll Island-stealing Reynold's scum, pals of "down low" Bush the draft-dodger who committed 9/11, like Eric Johnson and Sonny Perdue?
Clowns like you, "holy crap," think closet-queens like Bush are men and that men like Max Cleland and Jim Webb who went and served in the Army and the Marine Corps "need to see a shrink."
Men and women willing to kill and die for a "crazy" idea, "America" by Oath and Creed – "Annuit Coeptis with no King and no Pope: You fascists, monarchists, papists, pedophiles, liars and traitors who want to bring back and profit from caesarism, have to hate. That's why the Italian Solution is assassination: slaying the innocent from secret places, serving the rich, oppressing the poor.
America is "E Pluribus Unum," Of Many, One. One Law, One Justice, One Truth, One G-d.
You think those what believe in the American Dream are nuts, in ideals, principles, Truth and Justice. But that's what America is, and must be.
You hate people who want to save America because they prove you have no soul. You'd rather just have the Mammon-worshippers and fascist plutocrats getting away with their evil and treason. Those, your "good buddies," you think are perfectly sane. The millions of men and women, the best of which are from Georgia, who put their lives at sacrifice under The Oath for the Constitution and the People, you think are nuts…they their lives, lost to the lies of scum like Bush and Cheney, are nothing.
Many years ago I was crewing on a rich man's sailboat for a Memorial Day regatta. The wind had died and we were just drifting and talking, seven or eight Baby Boomers. Its being a time set aside to remember our war dead I reflected on the 58,000 Americans who had died in Vietnam. The rich man's response? "More people are killed by drunk drivers every year. No big deal."
Somebody's got to do the "heavy lifting" to toss the Beast into the Pit. Better watch yourself "holy crap" or you just might slide in too.
Enough of us in Georgia are serious enough about America and our posterity that by G-d's grace we may just may watch Babylon fall in a day and your pal, the Beast, cast into the Pit…happy to remind you, you were crazy not to have come out of Babylon before the Wh-re of the World was ended. Doubt many shrinks could do you any good in the mean time, but "thanks" for the "good thoughts."

DuBose Porter has done the work, quietly and without fanfare, for 28 years. I think that when Georgians see the work of his life, discover what a fine man he is, and understand where he wants to lead the state, he will be elected Governor and we will all be better off for it.
In this way he reminds me of another Georgia Governor who began his campaign after a long and productive period of service in the House. "A workhorse, not a showhorse," is what we called George Busbee.
May 1st, 2009
2:29 pm
I ask my fellow Georgians, White, Black, Jew, Gentile, Freemason and Baptist, young and old, rich and poor, to pray about our making Max Cleland our governor next year. More of the same won't get it and clearly G-d's hand has brought him this far to again be made elect by the People.
We need "Annuit Coeptis."
It is G-d's blessing alone by which we are saved and strengthened, and our posterity secured. There is much work to be done and as Max Cleland has lately proved to have the right sense as to just what the problem is…the rest are just sold-out, compromised space fillers…
He can catapult Georgia back into the front rank of these United States, as at the Founding, Atlanta was true and righteous honoring a genuine American hero Mohammed Ali back in the spotlight lighting the torch at the Olympics.
Let's help our children to be proud to be Georigians. Tell them of the best of us: Noble Jones (no lineal relation to this commenter) at Bloody Marsh and Hugh Thompson at My Lai…and elect Max Cleland as Governor.

DuBOSE PORTER is a fine Southern Democrat. He reminds me a lot of the way Georgia Democrats USED to be. He is a hard working, strong church going man. When he gets his message out, people will open their eyes. DuBOSE PORTER!!!

Project Educate: Basic Photography TerminologyPhotography Terminology
This is a term that refers to the way the lens blurs the image and the aesthetic quality of that blur. Some lenses cause the image to blur that is pleasing to the eye, whereas others blur in a more unpleasant or distracting way. It is considered good practice to have the subject of the image in focus, while the background is blurred. Bokeh occurs in the part of the image that lies outside the depth of field and photographers sometimes use a shallow focus to make the out of focus regions more prominent.
Depth of Field
This refers to how much of the scene is in focus. In portrait or macro photography, it is better to have a shallow depth of field and keep only part of the image in focus, as opposed to landscape photography where you'd generally want a larger depth of field and keep everything in focus.

Self Harm Awareness day 1st March 2012
Today marks an awareness day over a subject that can mean many things to many people. Self Harm (or Self Injury) is the act of physical damage to oneself, usually as a coping strategy for expressing deep distress or coping in difficult situations. Self harm commonly is associated with cutting, but can also refer to any physical damage to the self including burning, hitting, taking overdoses, swallowing chemicals, bleaching, hair pulling ( trichotilliomania), scratching and so forth.
You may know what it is, but it is often the reasons why that people are not familiar with. There is still this belief and stereotype surrounding the type of person likely to harming them-self, but the truth is, it could be anyone no matter what gender, culture or age. The reasons behind self harm can be such a huge variety- different people cope in different ways with different distresses. Such issues that may trigger self harm might be bullying, t

"Take Only Photographs, Leave Only Footprints." - Urban Explorers Creed
Sometimes it's easy to forget the things around us that were once iconic and useful. In everyday life that could include a multitude of household objects, bits and bobs, clothes, gadgets - all sorts. But in Photography - a specific aspect of Photography - people close doors and board up buildings sometimes with little or no notice. They erect a fence around that old asylum and ship everything out or they install security guards at the boundaries of an army camp. Those places get forgotten and one day there will be nobody left that will remember them. That's where Urban Exploration comes in.
I'm not telling you to go out and scale the wall of your nearest derelict hospital in the name of photography. It takes a certain kind of person (and agility!) to do that anyway, but there are many depths to U

Community Projects - UpdateHi! I'm Hunter, your "new" Community Projects volunteer! I hope our time together will be awesome and productive, and to further this goal I've prepared this... um... brief update to let you all know of some changes coming to the Community Projects gallery, and how we're going to continue in 2012! So here we go!
Changes to Community Projects
So this year we're going to do things a bit differently. My primary goal as Community Projects CV is to support you, the community. Community Projects doesn't exist solely to run our own projects, we're primarily here to help you out with yours.

In the past, we added a lot of categories to Community Projects each year, which ended up cre
Message Center Performance Upgrades Message Center news to know!
Today we completed a three-month process of implementing performance upgrades to the Message Center. With these improvements in place, we're able to increase site speed and decrease the amount of errors deviants may experience in their Message Centers. Our Devious Technology and Tech Ops teams have been working hard to move Message Center data to its own dedicated database cluster. We made a considerable investment in servers with 96GB of memory and 12 CPU cores to handle 6 billion messages and 6500 queries per second.
What does this mean for you?
Absolutely nothing. We hope. The upgrades have already taken place and you shouldn't notice any change in your normal deviantART experience. Eventually, you should notice an increase in site speed and a decrease in Message Center errors.
If we do run into hiccups, you may experience slowness and possib

1) If you could bring one deceased legendary artist back to the current time, who would it be and why them?
I can't really think of one. I think I want to bring them all back alive because I think I could learn from all of them.
2) Who or what inspired you to take on the art form that you focus in?
One day I was walking home from work and I saw this amazing sunset, with beautiful light rays. And I was thinking: if only I could capture this moment to show it to others. That's where I decided I wanted to be in photography. I bought a camera 2 months after

:iconestunt: Some thoughts from Matt (mattdanna)
With Valentine's Day right around the corner, the word "love" is in no short supply. Stores are trying to get you to buy everything from chocolates and jewelry to vacation getaways for that special someone in your life. As someone who's been notoriously single on Valentine's Day, the L word starts to sound like nails on chalkboard leading up to the days before February 14th. Nevertheless, I thought it would be neat to explore art depicting different types of love.
In Greek culture, there are several different words for "love": philía, storgē, agápe, and éros. The Greek language distinguishes the different ways "love" is used. Philía is the type of love and affection you feel with friends and community.

Millennium is a great face-lift for Windows 98, but it's not a necessary upgrade. If you have technical difficulties or work with pictures or music, try the new OS. But if you're happy with Windows 98, stick with it.
Nescafe's Mini Me brewer can make all of your favorite coffee drinks without hogging the kitchen counter.
Serious illustrators don't really have another option, but even if they did, Painter 7.0 would still take the cake. It's indispensable for graphics pros.
Publisher 2002 is better integrated with Word and easier to use than ever--even easier than FrontPage. It's worth the hunt to find a copy of Publisher 2002.
A worthy upgrade, but limited feature enhancements drop FreeHand 10 behind the competition.
Although the DVC 50 is extremely easy to use, the low quality of the edited video makes this unit adequate for the most casual of users only.

This is the first version since Word 97 that's a gotta-get upgrade. With tons of new tools for the single user and a renewed attention to collaboration for those who work in groups, Word 2002 is the best writing tool on the planet.
UltraDev has many great features, but some rough edges from the previous version still need polishing.
The Usage Analysis Reports are reason enough to upgrade from version 2000. And if you are a small-business owner, consider buying FrontPage, as it has a special add-in just for you.

SpooksStep by step I steadily walk,
I stumble and trip; I'm such a gawk,
Dustballs gather upon the floor,
As I near the attic door.
I reach the handle as cobwebs gleam,
I wrench it open and the hinges scvream,
Bugs and spiders scuttle under my feet,
Into cracks in the wall like an insect street.
From open windows the cold air blows,
And boxes of junk the moonlight shows,
As it grows colder I begin searching,
I can hardly see but continue working.
Suddenly, everything goes black,
And I feel like ice is running down my back,
And then the sound of a ghostly rap.
'This is the voice of the spooks from war,
Who dares come a-knocking on my door?
You are not welcome; leave, leave,
Or you will be in great peril - believe, believe!'
I turn around - my voice goes high -
And look above where the spirits fly,
I do not see them but I can hear,
And that's what makes me shake with fear.
They threaten to kill me - eat me too,
They swarm around me, yelling BOO!
They start to spin, to swallow me up,

Love Hurts rantWhy am I always the best friend?
Whenever I am with any of my guy mates I always notice people glancing over, clearly thinking we're sleeping together. This annoys me in two ways. One, a girl can be good friends with a guy and nothing more yet people still seem to make judgements even if they have friends of the opposite sex. And two, while I may not want to sleep with my friends I would like a stronger relationship with someone instead of just a friendship. Unfortunately all the guys I meet only become friends, nothing more ever happens between us. I love my friends and I really wouldn't want anything to happen between us but at some point I have imagined what it would be like to be in a relationship with them. But they seem to never have that feeling. Why am I the one attracted to them but they are never attracted to me? I feel like one of those 'nice people'. You know, the ones who are good friends but not good enough for anything else. That hurts.
This non-mutual wondering of what

People cleaning cars and
hanging out their washing.
I go out in the evening
The full moon shines its light
Everything is quiet, peaceful.
My favourite place in the world
Some people find it claustraphobic
The safety I feel it gives me
Swallows others up
Drowning in the sea of green needles.
How do people fear
for themselves?
I fear for other people - it's
Placed right next to my love
and worry.
But for myself?

Rivalry''Okay, class. We're doing Scottish Country Dancing today and the first dance will be the Gay Gordons. Girls choice to pick the boys.''
The eleven year olds, who were standing in their usual groups of same-sex friends, slowly edged away from each other and picked a partner. Those who were too shy stood around and waited for the teacher to pair them up. This way it was less embarrassing yet always the possibility that you might get the fat kid, George, as your partner.
Ruby, usually the shy girl, instantly walked away from her friends and up to a boy called Daniel.
''You're my partner,'' she stated, claiming him.
Unfortunately for Ruby, at that very moment Daniels hand was grabbed by an old nemesis of her's. Claire!
''I think you'll find that he's my partner, actually.''
''Oh no he isn't!''
Ruby snatched up Daniel's other hand and tried to pull him away from Claire but she held on tightly, digging her heels into the wooden floor of the gym. Daniel whimpered.
''He's mine!''
''No, mine!''
New Year, New Beginnings''Happy New Year!''
A roar went up in the club as people cheered with excitement and threw themselves into the mix on the dance floor. Bodies clung together in a frenzied huddle of drunken happiness, craving the touch of other people, hugging and kissing total strangers. They shared their pleasure with everyone: it didn't matter any more.
The music came back on and the crowd screamed their approval and began to throb in time with the heavy beats. The noise reached them and forced it's way deeper and deeper, right into their very core.
Heat pounded through her skin in waves to the time of the music, forcing its way through to her bones. The organs in her body were pounding fiercely, pumping her veins with blood and adrenaline, increasing her body heat even more. The sweat conjured to cool her down was pouring down her face, trickling into her eyes so quickly she closed them and opened her other senses. The strong smell of her sweat was washed away by the heavy layer of perfume coating h
The Perfect MurderHelena Scarlet had been tailing the suspect for three hours. Or should I say watching as he had hardly moved for that time. She was crouching down behind some huge green bins in an old alleyway, listening for something that could tell her what she was doing there. She wasn't a secret agent or anything like that, but was just curious. She was following her brother, one of her closest friends. For the past two weeks or so he had been acting very oddly. She was only fifteen, he eighteen, and they still lived with their parents who were very overprotective. They both weren't allowed out past eleven pm unless they called home with a good reason. Right now it was quarter to eleven.
She peeked round the corner of the bin to check he was still there. He was. In the exact same spot, in the exact same position. She hoped it wouldn't be much longer. She was freezing and her legs were getting pins and needles. Also the bins smelt disgusting. She remembered the last ti
The Rat and the DollSome time ago there lived a Rat of fine whiskers and a finer tail who stumbled across a small porcelain Doll in a farmer's rubbish heap. Entranced by the Doll's beauty, he carried her home with him and, to the amusement of his fellow rats, instated her as his wife. Finding that she was of little assistance in his daily rambles for food, the Rat placed her upon a slight ledge of the barn in which he lived and brought her an offering of sustenance each day, as well as flowers and other pretty objects with which to enhance her loveliness.
One day the Rat returned from his foraging to find the other rats throwing pebbles at his Doll. "Stop!" he cried. "Why do you abuse my wife? What has she ever done to you?"
"She does nothing at all," said the other rats, "and that is the problem. How has she proven herself worthy of the attention you grant her, or the offerings you provide?"
"Her beauty proves her worth," claimed the Rat.
But at that moment, a gust of wind swept the Doll off her perch an

Does that bird

- Princess Nukada
There on the poor man's doorstep,
an arrow biting into my wing,
I flew into the arms of decision
my cries calling clouds,
even to the brow of Moon:
I would not be this;
kindness come to me,
and songs of a different flesh,
irresistibly new. That was why,
sped to health, I fled only to return
to the poor man's doorstep
a bird no more, a woman of silk.
And how the bamboo blinds

Truth and FalsehoodOne day, Truth and Falsehood met at an inn, both weary from their travels. "My old friend!" cried Truth, "Come, allow me to buy you a drink." So they drank and exchanged stories of their travels. As they talked, Envy walked into the inn. Upon seeing Truth and Falsehood, Envy grew jealous of their friendship. Envy decided to find a way to make them hate each other. Now, it so happened that Greed was staying at the same inn. Envy met with Greed to form a plan. "Look at those two," Envy hissed. "They can't be friends, they never agree on anything!" Greed was only half listening. Envy knew this, but was ready for it. "Of course," Envy said softly, "we need to stop it. It is unnatural, like a bird with no flight, or a fish that can't swim." At this, Envy pulled out a bag of gold coins. Greed's heart began to race, fingers itching to just grab the bag, to caress the gold with loving fingertips. Envy smirked triumphantly, the plan was working perfectly. "Now, this is what's going to happen,"
The Black Fox
Once upon a time, in a forest where three streams merged into a small, fast-flowing river, the locals say a shadow took life in the form of a black fox.
So shiny and thick and smooth was the coat of this black fox, it was said that hunters who caught sight of her were driven mad with the desire to own her pelt.
The best hunters for miles around chased after this elusive prey, but none succeeded. Indeed, many of them chased after the fox, deep into the darkness beneath the ancient pines, and never returned. Some believe they came across misfortune. Some believe they were taken by the fox into the fairy realm. Some have even more sinister theories to relate.
In a time when the autumn was crisping the leaves and turning the air cold, a young man went into the woods to gather firewood to sustain his family through the oncoming winter.
His bow was slung across his shoulders, and he carried an axe to cut wood, but he had no intention of killing any living creatures this day, and after many l
The Worm and the EpiphanyAlas, the worm was blind. Making its way through fertile earth, never meeting a soul, not even its own. Not knowing kith or kin, it didn't seem to bother him as, day by day, he burrowed his tedious way through mulch and mire; heeding not the dark or the cold. Not needing to ask the question that never would tire because it never grew old. He was not simply "you" -- he was "it" who did not exist.
So on and on, as often goes with a worm, it continued the clandestine tryst to turn the soil. It was what he had learned, or was born having known. Was he born -- and born to toil? -- flashed a thought in the dark. Had he not? He never thought to ask it before.
Then suddenly, the worm broke through the crust of ground! It squinted hard into a blinding light, and basked in the shade of a sunflower whose head bowed low with curiosity, and promptly doused the worm with a shower of dew. And
The Teacher's SuccessorOnce, at a certain time, in a village with no name there was a teacher. As he aged he knew he would need a successor to take his place when he died. He decided that his smartest student would be his successor. Of all his students, three young boys were the smartest.
One day, the teacher brought the three boys up a hill that over looked the village. On the hill were three grand, majestic trees that stood at the same height.
He assigned each boy a tree, then said, "Get rid of your trees and you must tell me who did it the right way."
The first boy ran home and brought back an axe. After a few swings the tree was cut down. "I am right because this is the way to get wood to make our homes."
The second one ran deep into the forest to a raven's nest. He took some seed from his pocket and offered it to the raven. The raven swooped down and exchanged the seed for an elixir. Running back, the second boy doused the tree with the elixir. The tree writhed then turned into a flock of swans that fle
Fable: Lion and HyenasA lion had a deep hatred of hyenas, and he would roam the savannah and ruthlessly hunt down and slaughter any that he saw. For a while, the hyenas feared him, until one brave individual rallied them all together and proclaimed that they should fight back.
The next time the lion began to maul one of the hapless animals, the others emerged from the long grass and tore at the lion's flanks. He tried to defend himself, but there were so many hyenas harrying him from all sides that he was at last forced to retreat. Covered in bites and scratches, he wandered through the plains shouting, "Help me! Those hyenas have always had it in for me!"
Men claim persecution often when they are no longer allowed to persecute.
The Peacock and the Fox
The Peacock was one day striding along very proud of his beautiful feathers. As he went by all the animals, they bowed down to him. And so went with all the animals, except one. As the Peacock passed by the Fox, he noticed the Fox did not bow down to him. The Peacock cleared his throat: "aham!"
The Fox, who although was not better looking than the Peacock, was very smart pretended not to hear anything.
"Perhaps you haven't seen me" said the Peacock.
"Actually I have" replied the Fox.
"Well, as I pass, everyone bows down to me."
"Really? I didn't know."
"Well then, what are you waiting for?"
"There's just a small problem, I don't know how to bow"
"Oh, that's odd. You just have to bend like so..."
And when the Peacock bowed, showing the Fox how to do so, in a swift movement he gobbled him up, and for the rest of the day, he felt no hunger.

The Widow and Dame FortuneA young widow, having just left her husbands grave, was overcome by grief as she walked and thus became lost in a forest nearby. Alone with her thoughts she grew angry at the death Fortune had given her husband so early on in life and cried out, ''Must thou be so cruel as to take innocent lives as easily as plucking a daisy from the earth?''. Upon her shout, Dame Fortune appeared to speak with the lady.
''If you believe me to be cruel then how must you feel about yourself?'', and vanished as suddenly as she came, leaving behind her a beautiful, black daisy. The widow looked with wonder upon the daisy and was so enchanted by it's beauty she plucked it from the earth to keep for herself and therefore died, as Dame Fortune had tricked her by linking her life with the daisy.
Moral: What you may find unacceptable in others you may find within yourself.
ReflectionsVal's pursuit led him to the foul beast's domain. The hollowed-out cavern reeked of blood and rancid meat. The dim light he had seen as he charged through the tunnel after the monster could now be identified: torches. Rows of mysteriously lit torches lined the walls of the huge cave. At its center was a substantially large labyrinth of mirrors.
He spotted the beast entering.
He spun his silver broadsword in his hand and hurried in behind it.
His garb was a simple blue and white crusader's leather with thick armored pads and reinforcing steel studs. Lightweight and flexible, but quite effective defense against blunt blows and – in a pinch – the slashing claws of the unholy spawn of the earth. All monster-hunters wore a similar variety in Val's experience. It would serve him well in these close quarters of the mirrored maze.
Right, left, forward, left, right he turned, always catching a glimpse of the beast's tail as he wove his way through the corridors. Every so often he sp

As titled, Eloy Trujillo is a knowledgeable, communicative, courteous and professional criminal defense lawyer. I highly recommend him and his services for those in need of a DUI lawyer in San Francisco.
A little less than a year ago, I had the unfortunate need of a DUI lawyer. I called several lawyers during my panic - I thought life was over, the end of the world had come, and I was probably the only person ever to have been arrested for a DUI. Eloy was the only lawyer with whom I spoke that gave me a little bit of peace. He spoke to me in plain English to explain the situation, processes, and potential paths my case might take. He also outlined a very rough strategy based on what I had shared - all without asking or discussing fees. If I needed something to push me over the edge to select Eloy, his educational pedigree was impressive and we share an alma mater.
Upon hiring Eloy, he took over the case with both DMV and Court and program managed and really lifted the burden from my shoulders as much as possible. At any point of decision, Eloy empowered me to make the best decision for myself by taking the time to communicate exactly what was going on and the options and potential outcomes. I was particularly impressed because Eloy really allowed me to define my tolerance and profile of risk, and prevented me from becoming my own worst enemy by hastily choosing what seemed like the best option when an even better off-paper option existed.
Overall, my experience with Eloy was that he genuinely cared about reaching the best outcome for me, he and his office lifted a ton of the stress off my shoulders, and helped me make the best decisions for myself to ultimately reach an outcome that was significantly better than what I would have been able to obtain on my own.
I highly recommend you not drink and drive, like, don't drink anything and drive... but I highly recommend Eloy for anyone not heeding this advice and finding themselves in a situation requiring them to consider whether they should hire a lawyer or not for their DUI. I recommend you hire a lawyer, and hire Eloy, especially if there are any complications in your case. If nothing else, your burden will be lessened and you can rest easy knowing the best outcome was achieved- and best case, you never know.
I'm looking forward to my next meeting with Eloy in a few years time- meaning we'll be filing to expunge my case.
Earlier this year I was arrested for an alcohol-related offense. Even though it was a relatively minor one, it was nevertheless my first incident and I was extremely concerned about the effects this might have on my record, future employment, etc.. I called Eloy and he was extremely generous with his time in our initial consultation - I believe we spoke for over an hour before I signed a retainer. He provided detailed and thorough answers to a number of questions both legal and practical. I spoke with several other attorneys, all of whom promised the moon and seemed more eager to have me sign the retainer than to answer questions or alleviate concerns. Eloy had a nuanced understanding of the charge and my situation conveying not just legal expertise and experience but also a commitment to his clients.
In the end he had my case dismissed with minimal legwork to be completed on my part. I highly recommend Eloy for his knowledge, legal expertise, and client service.
I got a DUI in Oakland and hired Eloy for my case. I was impressed because he actually took the time to talk to me about all things I had questions about. My case turned out pretty well all things considered. Eloy made me feel like I was a priority to him. Not all attorneys are like that and I appreciated it a lot.
Hired Eloy for an Oakland DUI case and could not believe the amount of time and hard work he put into my case. There's no better lawyer in the bay. Thank you!!
Eloy represented me in a DUI case about a year ago. He was great. He set me at ease, though I was pretty nervous about the situation. He was very responsive to my calls and questions. I was really happy with the result Eloy got me in my DMV and criminal case.
I was given the opportunity and pleasure of being represented by Mr, Trujullo an I must say he is truly a work of art. Mr. Trujillo is highly experienced in all aspects of the legal profession I've had my share of legal representation, none that sustains the dedication, knowledge and efficiencies as Mr. Trujillo. I am very comfortable with having Mr. Trujillo represent my leagal needs at any given time. I highly recommend Mr. Trujilo to all looking for expert legal assistance.
Thanks for being the Legal Guru you are..
I had never been arrested. My job was dependent on keeping my license. Because Mr. Trujillo was able to work with the DMV at the same time as my misdemeanor case, I was able to get a result that I had never imagined possible when I first got pulled over. Mr. Trujillo is professional, experienced and worth every penny!
I hired Eloy to represent me in a bunch of traffic tickets where I had a warrant out for my arrest and a civil assessment. Eloy was able to go to court to put the ticket back in front of the judge and get the warrant lifted. He was even able to negotiate to avoid another point on my driving record! I also sought advice about an illegal eviction where he was able to negotiate a substantial relocation payment, and also about filing a complaint against a police officer for an illegal detention. He returns phone calls, email and fights for his clients. This lawyer is the real deal.
Eloy has been my personal attorney for eight years. He has helped me work through issues including an expungement, estate matters, employment contract matters, and a personal assault issue. In all cases crisp, focused, responsive, and right. And when he doesn't immediately know the answer, he'll do the research and revert promptly.
Finding an attorney that actually cares about you and your well being instead of moving from fee to fee is rare. That is why I keep coming back. You are not going to get much better in San Francisco. Plus he's a cool guy.
Eloy Trujillo is the epitome of a well rounded Stanford educated, professional and very personable attorney. I was facing misdemeanor charges. From the very beginning Eloy explained that my case was a very minor infraction of the law and that it would probably get dismissed and that I should not loose any sleep over the situation. I couldn't have asked for a more involved and concerned attorney. He answered all of my questions and never made me feel like I taking up too much of his time. Additionally, Eloy was always prompt when responding to my emails and phone calls. Going to court is an intimidating situation. Eloy was ontime to all of our court appearances and always made an effort to explain to me his strategies and what to expect from the appearance that day. The day before the impending trial we had an appearance in court and Eloy met with the DA. Eloy explained our facts regarding the case and the DA was compelled to dismiss the case. The charges were dropped. The case dragged out for 10 months and Eloy secured a very favorable outcome for my case. I would highly recommend Eloy Trujillo.

Great game! Great music! Love it!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars August 27, 2011
Almost perfect.
Almost everything is flawless in this game: the general concepft, graphics and sounds, level design. The difficulty level is a real issue, though, I'm far from being a pro player and still I managed to beat the game within two hours without having much problems in any particular level.
A possible solution would be to expand the levels. Due to the present level size, humans you capture often become expendable after merely a few traps. It would be more interesting, if you had to lead the slow worker through a whole obsctacle course before he can finally push that box.
Oh, and the pesky helicopter droids should appear more often, they can be a real challenge.

Great potential
As everyone have said, it is too easy. But aside from that, I would have like to seen non-linear levels. I mean, levels when you could have infested more than one person and you had to take a choice on how you would proceed and which will be a better choice.
And yeah, a little more difficulty. Good game, nonetheless.

After being sidelined by illness, a hot young Southern rapper rebounds with a major tour
By Kathy Iandoli
Special to MSN Music
Hip-hop's pendulum is swaying hard in the direction of new talent. Yelawolf swings from that pendulum with aplomb worthy of Tarzan, leading a new charge of artists responsible for rap's changing of the guard. While Yela has a storied relationship in the game, these past few years were climactic. His "Trunk Muzik" mixtape set the stage for 2011's "Radioactive" album, along with a coveted spot in Eminem's Shady 2.0 empire. Yelawolf takes it all in stride, making sure his mark is met by any means necessary. After all, he's a tough country boy who is traveling to 50-plus cities for the Slumerican Tour after rupturing his spleen this past March. Yelawolf checks in to discuss his upcoming EP with Big K.R.I.T., his upcoming album "Love Story" and performing for his toughest crowd: corporate America.
MSN Music: What has this past year been like for you?
Yelawolf: I dropped "Radioactive," and done a ton of shows. I got hurt, which put me back pretty good and set me down for like three weeks, which in this game is like a year. I lost a lot of shows, kind of, like, disappeared off the radar, and then I jumped straight to Australia. Then to Europe, back to doing shows. I'm still working, pretty much. Dropped "Radioactive" and got hurt: two big moments of my year.
How did a ruptured spleen feel exactly?
That's actually a good question, because it's not like it just hurts. It hurts like a mother------, but what happens is you start bleeding internally, and what it feels like is like somebody's got a bicycle pump hooked to your stomach and is just pumping air into your stomach. You feel like you're just going to blow up from the inside out. Everything tightens up because your blood has nowhere to go, so it's just leaking all around your organs. But the thing is your blood, ironically, irritates your organs on the outside. It's OK if it's running on the inside of your veins, obviously, if it's contained inside of your body. But if it gets like on the outlining, the outside of your stomach or the outside of your organs, it irritates it.
You could have jumped right back on the road and hurt yourself even more, but you did the smart thing and chilled.
I was just really so scared of getting hurt again, because I couldn't afford to lose more time away. Canceling shows is a big deal. I had to cancel my whole Canadian tour, even after I got hurt because I couldn't get into Canada. So after missing and losing all my shows, I missed the Canadian tour. People are like, "All right, he got hurt. That's cool," but they really don't really care that much; they just want to see you perform. People are not really that forgiving when they pay for tickets to come see you and you don't show up. I was more afraid of having to deal with that again. That's what slowed me down the most: just trying not to disappoint people. I'd rather just stand up there and chill than not be there at all.
Bing: Yelawolf songs, videos, lyrics and more
Now you've got several dates coming with the Slumerican Tour, right?
I think it's like 58 [shows] or something like that over 60 days. I'm going really, really hard. It's going to be fun.
What do you put on your tour rider?
That's a good question. I need to write one, because I don't really bother with it, but I should. I'm never in the mood to eat or drink when I get to a show. I'm just too nerved out. I'm probably going to start asking for something, like a skateboard so I can skateboard or something. Actually, that's what I'm going to do. Thank you.
How do you get the energy to consistently get on stage and do what you do?
Over the years, I matured a lot in that sense. When I first started really going hard performing, I was just really blind. I didn't care what anybody was doing, I was gonna be going nuts. That was when I felt like I had to prove myself for a long time, because that's just how it is. I'm from Alabama and I'm a white boy in hip-hop. I felt like I had to go nuts. These days I can take a breath and I'm not afraid to just stop for a second, look at people, talk to them. That all comes from getting hurt. It's like a blessing. I couldn't do what I used to do for the whole Australian tour. I was like Jay-Z, just walking back and forth. I was up there like, "I can't wait until I can move again!" It was terrible, but I was training myself how to translate energy without having to move physically so much, and it was a big help. Now it's a mix between the two, because I'll just pick my moment instead of raging the entire time. Plus, artists have to do things sometimes like corporate shows, and those are always lame. They never really go hard on those things.
Well, you don't want to scare anybody, since it's a bunch of suits sitting there.
Well, it's just weird to walk out onstage with like 50 to 100 suits like, "Are you mother------s ready?" They're like, "Yeaaah & " All right then!
How did you and Big K.R.I.T. decide to collaborate on the "Country Cousins" EP?
Somebody's going to jump up and take credit for it one day, but somebody online was like, "Big K.R.I.T. and Yelawolf are coming out with a project called 'Country Cousins'!" and I was like, "What is this?" These people lie and make stuff up all the time. I was like, "K.R.I.T., do you see this?" because I was in the studio with him in Atlanta, Georgia. He's like, "Aw, man. That's crazy." I was like, "It's kind of a good idea, though! Let's do it." He's like, "Yeah, I know. We should. Let's do it." So that's how it came. It's taken like a year and a half. I saw him in Denmark a couple weeks ago. We were doing the same stage at a festival [the Roskilde Festival, covered on MSN] and I was like, "Man, we need to go in and do this. There's people asking more and more frequently about it!" So we decided we were going to go ahead and do it.

With "Radioactive," the buzz was crazy, but as far as the label promotion, it wasn't what you expected, and you've been somewhat vocal about that. What made you decide to take the high road, though, and keep pushing on?
Because I've got all the power. I never gave them that much power. If you come within my circle, you can only help me; you can't hurt me. I don't set myself up to be damaged by your decisions. I came into the situation, and I got one single in 11 months, you know? So, it was just like well, f--- it! I'll just continue to do what I do. I saw the results of that. You know like when "Let's Roll" dropped and I did Conan and Letterman and the big video, I was kind of smelling it. I was like "Oh, this is major-label s---, huh! This is how it works." You get all the bells and whistles of a major-label signing. And I was like, "Oh, this is dope!" I think there was just some unforeseen issues that had nothing to do with me at all and probably just greed, I could imagine. That's always what it is. Somebody's not getting what they want and so they're not working. So I was like that's just what it is. But I'm good. I can always make music, I can always tour. What else is there? But I'm great and my relationship with Shady is great. So I'm not tripping about what anybody's doing.
What's the status of "Love Story"?
"Love Story" will be coming 2013 now. I want to sit down and really focus on the album. "Radioactive" was recorded in 10 days, the original "Trunk Muzik" was done from Friday to Monday: four days on that project. "Heart of Dixie" was like five days on the back of a bus. The record I got with Travis Barker ["Psycho White"] is like a year of just going back and forth. Just every once in a while hopping in the studio. Even that, you can just hear the difference. You can hear that we're not rushed in it. It's just a different thing, so I'm going to try to make an album that I spend more time on. So, 2013. Sorry.
If you weren't here doing this, where do you think you would be? Guarding your internal organs, no doubt?
Yeah, man, somewhere with a bulletproof on. Guarding my "innards." That's what my pop-pop said.

It is sad to see so many things go that people have been trying to get for so long. But I have 114 mounts on my main and thats a DK. I've worked my ass off to get them and while I am upset at this mount fading away I am not sad that I don't have one. It'd be nice sure but the RNG's haven't worked in my favor and I accept that as everyone who doesn't have one should. I mean if everyone had one of these mounts then no one would care. Much like I would love an war bear on my DK from ZA I'll never have it and once 4.0.3 rolls out if I don't have a tiger by then I never will, but I will still have my fond remembrance of ZG and the good times spent in that place smashing things in the face and the memories of actually running the place when it was hard. So cheers to those of you who have gotten it. And for those of us who haven't we've got a few more go rounds till its gone so best of luck to you all.

"You're never too old, never too sick, never too bad, to start from scratch and begin again." — Bikram Choudhury
Photo Credit: Steve Stober Photography, 2010
Welcome to BYHD! My name is Alexandra and I am the owner and director of Bikram Yoga Hamilton Dundas. I am excited to open the first Bikram Yoga studio in Hamilton and Dundas and to bring the incredibly healing and transformative, world renowned Bikram Hot Yoga to this community. I have been practicing Bikram Yoga since 2007 when I first discovered it in Tokyo, while teaching English in Japan. I immediately fell in love with it. After seeing huge changes in my physique, skin, flexibility, immune system and overall mental and physical health I knew I had found my calling. In the fall of 2008, I attended the Bikram Yoga Teacher Training in Acapulco and was certified by Bikram Choudhury.
Since graduating, I have been teaching Bikram Yoga full time and have had the privilege of teaching in numerous cities, including Toronto, Kitchener, Vancouver and Mumbai (the studio owned by Bikram Choudhury). After receiving my B.A in Sociology and Psychology at The University of Western Ontario in 2005, I travelled extensively through Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, China, Japan and Taiwan and also became certified as a Thai Massage Therapist.
While I have practiced various forms of yoga, (in both Canada and India) including Ashtanga, Yin, Kundalini, and Iyengar, I truly feel that nothing has as profound an effect on both the physical and emotional well being as the Bikram series. My experience with Bikram Yoga is that it is extremely powerful and healing, and with a regular practice, will do wonders for your immune system, digestive system, appetite, metabolism, sleep patterns, stress levels, depression, and so much more…
I do my very best to make the classes I teach dynamic, motivating, educational and inspiring by drawing on all my personal experiences in the hot yoga room as a yoga student myself, learning from Bikram and his senior teachers, travelling the world, and reading books on yoga. I have complete and absolute belief that Bikram Yoga is the best form of yoga for everyone, no matter what their age or physical condition, and I am grateful for the opportunity to introduce others to the original hot yoga.
I look forward to meeting you at the studio!

Lonni Sue Johnson spends every spare moment creating word puzzles superimposed on elaborate grids. The moment she puts one down, she starts on the next. In not quite three years, she has amassed a stack of paper that is 15 feet high.
Family member say that's how she pins down time.
"In order to grasp the present moment before it vanishes from her memory, Lonni Sue urgently writes and draws," says her sister, Aline Johnson. "As she works on her puzzles, her thoughts — which would otherwise be constantly slipping away — are held on the page, where she can build ideas. We can watch the shifts in her mental ability and see creative ideas unfolding."
Aline Johnson is co-curating "Puzzles of the Brain: An Artist's Journey Through Amnesia," a show of her sister's drawings that opens this Saturday at the Walters Art Museum.
The exhibit showcases the works of Lonni Sue Johnson, who was a successful illustrator before she contracted encephalitis in December 2007, suffering extensive brain damage.
The 36 items in the exhibit include drawings that Johnson, now 61, made before and after her memory was destroyed, along with documents from a continuing case study undertaken by a Johns Hopkins University team led by neuroscientist Barbara Landau.
The exhibit also poses intriguing questions about the nature and source of artistic ability. When Johnson was at her prime, her drawings graced the cover of The New Yorker magazine half a dozen times and are in the Smithsonian's permanent collection. After Johnson suffered profound amnesia, many of her abilities disappeared overnight. But other skills survived intact: the artist's playfulness, her fondness for puns and her skill at composing recognizable images.
"Lonni Sue's work always had a kind of whimsy to it," says her mother, Margaret Kendall Johnson, herself a well-known visual artist. "She loved wordplay, and her work was known for its sense of humor. Her illustrations don't have the same quality they did before, but her personality is still there."
"Puzzles of the Brain" is the second of three exhibits planned at the Walters that explore how the human brain processes artistic works.
The first exhibit, "Beauty and the Brain," debuted in January 2010 and helped gather data for a study on whether humans have an innate preference for some visual forms. The third exhibit, "Touch and the Enjoyment of Sculpture," will open in January and explore how the brain reacts to tactile stimuli.
"These exhibits are based on scientific research that poses huge questions about how the brain works," Walters director Gary Vikan says. "If we, as a museum, can give broader exposure to these ideas, it might change in a tiny way how the public thinks about the interaction between art and science."
In 2007, Lonni Sue Johnson was living on a 165-acre farm in upstate New York with a landing strip for her own plane. Several cats kept her company while she drew, and in her spare time, she played her viola with a local music group.
Just before the new year, a neighbor noticed that she was behaving strangely. Coffee grounds were scattered all over Johnson's kitchen floor. A pair of spectacles rested in a flower pot.
The neighbor drove Johnson to a nearby hospital, where she was diagnosed with encephalitis, a rare viral infection that targets and destroys selected parts of the brain. An MRI revealed extensive damage to Johnson's left temporal lobe and hippocampus, which helps to form, sort and store memories, according to Hopkins neuroscientist Michael McCloskey.
"Lonni Sue almost died," McCloskey says. "When she first started to recover, she couldn't walk, she couldn't talk and she couldn't put pencil to paper."
Gradually, she relearned many skills with the help of her mother and sister. Aline and Margaret Johnson devised the games that first helped Lonni Sue nudge her pencil across the page. For example, Margaret Johnson would sketch a wiggly line on a sheet of paper and say, "Finish the drawing."
Lonni Sue responded with a three-dimensional study of cats interacting with one another much like real-life felines.
"Her mother and sister might not be trained as art therapists, but they did all the right things," McCloskey says. "Lonni Sue wouldn't have come as far as she has without their support."
Nearly four years after becoming ill, Lonni Sue Johnson exhibits a mix of strengths and deficits that can bewilder those around her.
"Lonni Sue can play the Bach suites almost as well as she did before," Margaret Johnson says. "One night after she had put her instrument away, I said, 'How wonderful to hear you on the viola again!'

In a new report by Gartner Analysts, they're stating the obvious: social computing/social networking is a force to be reckoned with from a customer relationship management standpoint. Do companies really not know this yet?
I do have to rememeber to rein in my skepticism when I read things like the Gartner report and remember that I'm considered one of those early adopter types. I've been preaching the need for companies to use social networking for CRM, and brand building for approximately two years now.
The Gartner report predicts that more than 60% of Fortune 1000 companies will have a form of online community that can be used for CRM purposes, but also thinks that more than half of the companies who do will fail to manage them properly which will ultimately backfire on them.
Read any of the particularly good social media blogs out there, and you'll see what we've all been warning companies about this for years and have been trying to help educate them as to the best way to go about this. Every social media strategist or evangelist out there wants companies to be successful using the tools we know and love for all the things we know they can do.
"Social applications offer a great opportunity for CRM practitioners to improve customer experience and influence the customer, particularly in an economic downturn when companies are trying to keep customers and increase wallet share," said Adam Sarner, research director at Gartner. "Investments should focus primarily on the customer online buying process where it can offer a direct return on investment (ROI) in terms of sales, awareness and customer loyalty." [source]
I guess it takes an official report to make some of those Fortune 1000 companies stand up and realize what power they have available to them. I just hope they get it right and don't run headlong, full speed into communities and muck it all up.

This is what I do too, something that comes from playing Unreal tournament in the past where facing forward was necessary to shoot your enemy whist strafing to dodge the return fire from your opponent.
Whilst wow doesn't need you to dodge that much really, movement like that makes it easy for playing I imagine whilst your target is still in view for you to know what they are doing.
I play a melee class pala, so you get what I mean, havent really PVP'd as a caster yet! Leveling a shammy now to see what its like in PVP!

On the 8th of February, I received a call from Desi Santiago for assistance on a few simple jewelry pieces for Miguel Adrover's upcoming Women's Fall 2012 looks fashion show. At first I was surprised to hear that Adrover was back, after his eight years of being out of the limelight of new york fashion week and then I understood we had two days to get the jewelry pieces together. Boop!
I myself am a great believer in reinvention, so I was glad to be part of this phoenix-like show. Very quickly I was swept up in the flurry of pre-show production but found much comfort in Desi's always calm demeanor and in the generally spanish speaking team that Adrover assembled.
As the story developed, I began to learn about Adrover's thoughts behind the collection: recycled fabrics in a fluctuating climate. In essence, a real feeling of nowness was ever present.
Considering that I am an artist, struggling with gaining exposure in the saturated art world that is New York City and living on an impossible budget, this theme of Nowness hit home and so I channeled much of that energy into the necklaces, broach and crown. We gave life to the dead.
Here is Style.com's take on the show:

0.5% remains for Interest Rates, £75bn more for the Economy
The Bank of England today took the decision to inject a further £75bn into the UK Economy via it's programme of quantitaive easing (QE). This is in addition to the £200bn it has already pupmed into back in 2009.
The Bank was widely expected to take some form of action either this month or next month after further economic data was released.
However it looks like the data for the UK economony, showing that it grew by 0.1% – less than previously thought, caused a decision this month.
"In the United Kingdom, the path of output has been affected by a number of temporary factors, but the available indicators suggest that the underlying rate of growth has also moderated," the Bank said in a statement.
Interest Rates
The Bank also decided that it would keep the historic low interest rates at 0.5%, something at the beginning of the year many had predicted would start to increase towards the end of 2011.
The European Central Bank today also announced to maintain it's interest rates at the relatively high levels of 1.5%. On top of this it has announced 40bn euros of emergency loans for eurozone banks.

Hmmm. I'm pretty sure that's not true. Not at all, actually. I've seen rooms I thought were pretty fabulous and later realized the had hideous peeling paint that was somehow concealed by the rest of the elements in the room.
It might be I don't have a trained eye.
However, I find her lack of qualifications and dead certainty kind of charming. Did she write that in the fifties or before when experts had such power?
Candace Wheeler (1827-1923) was America's first important woman textile and interior designer, who co-founded the interior-decorating firm of Tiffany & Wheeler and decorated the Veterans' Room of the Seventh Regiment Armory, the Madison Square Theatre, The Union League Club, the George Kemp house, and the drawing room of the Cornelius Vanderbilt II house.
