How to Make a Living Writing, Part III
- Friday, January 18, 2008
I'm starting to feel a little pretentious offering writing advice; already I can barely stop myself from growing a goatee, smoking a pipe, and assuming a forlorn, haunted expression. Writing's an art; producing art is as personal as personal gets; trying to guide anyone's who's producing art via General Principles or (where's my pipe!) Sagacious Insights, is like trying to show someone a rose over the phone.
Oh, wait. You can do that now.
Wow! It's moments just like this that make you realize how soon it's going to be before you start rethinking just how funny all the bizzaro geriatric equipment at the drugstore really is.
Okay, this could be another such "Are We Old Yet?" moment: Today, at the gym I joined about three weeks ago, I blithley walked into the ladies' locker room. Absolutely unbelievable. I was like Bigfoot having a heart attack in a harem.
I can't think about it. It's too painful. Let's move on.
Right. Writing.
So here's some advice I actually have given newerish-type writers. You pretend you're a newbie writer to whom I'm giving advice, and I'll pretend I'm a wizened, insightful writer who's never strolled soaking wet into women's locker room while wearing a Speedo:
"Young (or relatively inexperienced) writer! Listen to me! For verily do I have for you some top-drawer Writing Advice that's actually real and true. Ready? Here it is: It's not about you.
"You want to be a writer, right? Well, what people usually mean when they say that is that they're very keen on communicating to the world what it's like to be, specifically, them: to have their unique vision, their ideas, their sensibilities, their relationships, their experiences, their ... whole thing. Right? And that makes perfect sense: What is art, if not an expression of individuality?
"Without question, a monumental part of being an artist is identifying, corralling, and ultimately allowing to dominate the process by which you express it the very essence of who you are. An artist must find his own voice, period. (And we can certainly talk about that process if ... if anyone's still reading this series.)
"But another massive, indispensable part of being an artist -- of being a writer -- is understanding that everything in the world has its own truth, a truth that doesn't have anything whatsoever to do with you. People who want to write are often so wrapped up in what they think about a thing that they never let that thing tell them what to think about it. Things -- people, relationships, experiences, virtually everything -- have their own integrity, their own dynamic, their own process, context, purpose, rhythm, reason. If you really want to be a writer, you have to learn to wipe out all your ideas and preconceptions about as much stuff as you possibly can, and let whatever it is that has your attention tell and show you what it is."
Okay, that's enough now with the quotes / fake speech-making.
Here's the bottom line: Someone who is more interested in themselves than they are at the world at large probably won't make it as a writer. You have to be insanely empathetic to be a writer. To be a writer you have to think everything is more interesting than you.

- "Sometimes there's a sense of the book being too hot, literally. It just feels hard for me to have a private experience of an artifact that is so spoken of, so much in the culture in a particular moment."
- "Again, I'm not really a Twitter person so to some degree this maelstrom was not something I experienced firsthand. I also happened to be on kind of an off-the-grid farm in New Hampshire with my kids when the whole thing erupted."
- "I didn't feel the pressure that I might have if I had said, "Now I'm going to address the future. What will the future look like?" I just kind of followed the sky and looked around and imagined what was there."
- "Like if my iPod doesn't work, I do not run. It is not an option."
- [Songs she's been listening to lately]: ""Telephone" and "Let's Dance," especially "Telephone." They're not good songs, I know that, but it's not really about quality."
- "One of the things that's so fascinating about Adrian Leblanc's book Random Family is that she never once uses the word "I." And that's a very radical extreme, because she was clearly deeply intertwined in these peoples' lives."
- "It's not like I thought it was impossible to do it, but it didn't seem conceivable I would. I think part of it is, honestly, I think sometimes it's hard to imagine things that haven't happened already."

Plath, from the minute I read her, I thought she was great. I didn't think it was bad news at all. In fact, I couldn't reconcile the knowledge that she killed herself with the poems because the poems seemed to be so alive. I thought she was the most vibrant, wonderful person in the world, why…

I usually get into bed with a novel and our Post-it-studded Times. I try to read the Times thoroughly and carefully at the end of the day. I'm fully aware that the news is two days old by then, and of course in certain areas I'll be way ahead of it, but it's the depth that I enjoy, and I find that it serves me well when the news isn't fresh. The depth is twofold; on the one hand, I want to try to understand what's going on, rather than just know what's going on. On the other, I'm always trying to feed the unconscious part of me that's scheming away—often without my conscious knowledge—at fiction writing. I never know what material that fiction writing part will end up needing or using, but I do like to let it chew through the Times on a daily basis.
After I'm done with that, I read fiction. Reading fiction is purely fun for me—and luckily it's also something that feeds the work I do. Yesterday I finished Meg Wolitzer's The Uncoupling, which I thoroughly enjoyed, and I'm about to start Jessica Hagedorn's Toxicology, which I've heard great things about. I think the last thing I read that got profoundly under my skin was Emma Donohue's Room, which I read a couple of weeks ago. I thought about it as I read a news story (in the Times, of course!) about the guilty plea by that couple in California who kidnapped an 11-year-old girl, Jaycee Dugard, 20 years ago. They imprisoned her in the backyard and she had two daughters by her captor before she was discovered. Because of Room, I read the news story with a sense of resonant personal knowledge that I've never felt about those stories of captivity before. The feeling reminded me of why fiction is critical to me—more than nonfiction, and I say that as a journalist! Nonfiction expands my knowledge, but fiction broadens my experience. Reading the news story, I thought: I'm so glad to have read Room.

(AP) - BIG LOSS: The Royal Bank of Scotland reported a loss of 1.52 billion pounds ($2.43 billion), nearly three times the year-ago loss.
MILESTONES: The partly nationalized bank will finish repaying 75 billion pounds ($121 billion) of government-backed loans this month, and has made progress in shedding noncore businesses and reducing bad loan provisions. Taxpayers still hold an 82 percent stake in the bank.
OPERATING PROFIT: RBS reported an operating profit of 1.18 billion pounds ($1.89 billion) but that was wiped out by a 2.5 billion pounds ($4 billion) accounting charge on the value of the company's debt.

By DARRYL MAXIE / email@example.com
LaGrange quarterback Jamius Gunsby could one day follow in Tim Tebow's footsteps. Florida offered him a scholarship on Tuesday, LaGrange coach Steve Pardue announced today.
Many recruiting services classify Gunsby, a 6-foot-4, 224-pound junior, as an athlete — and given that he also plays basketball and runs track, the title fits him better than many. On the football field, he's considered a threat both with his arm and his legs. The Gators are one of six favorites he specified in March, when he told rivals.com, "My top six would be FSU, Florida, Oregon, Alabama, Auburn and Georgia."
May 13th, 2009

Jamius, you better put on 30lbs if you play at UF. Meyer will use you like a fullback.
May 13th, 2009
10:26 am
No!! No Granger can be a Gator! Thats sacrilege….
Haha, just kidding buddy. Grats on the scholarship.
May 13th, 2009

I thought Cameron Newton was going to be the next Timmy. That didn't work out too well did it?
May 13th, 2009
11:43 am
No better than Georgia only winning 3 of the last 19 meetings v. Florida. Can't wait to see Jamius in the Orange & Blue!!!
May 13th, 2009
11:49 am
how can any UGA fan even pretend to talk smack about UF? 3 wins and 16 losses in the past 19 years? are you kidding? Keep your muzzles shut.

B, This guy knows he can win National Championships at Florida.
May 13th, 2009

Go to Florida Jamius. They will teech you to be reel smart lyke me.
May 13th, 2009
12:32 pm
Let the gators have him. Terrible, terrible attitude. He will do nothing but pull down all who come in contact with him. Been in and out of trouble for years, suspended (should have been expelled) last fall.
May 13th, 2009
4:35 pm
I know it was a while back, but where were those Gator fans when Coach Vince Dooley was whipping that butt almost every year. Enjoy your run Florida.
May 13th, 2009
4:49 pm
LMAO! A lot of us weren't even born yet.
May 13th, 2009
4:55 pm
Gators think college football began in 1991.
May 13th, 2009
5:44 pm
Dooley won 71% of the games he coached against UF (17 of 24 with the tie not included either way). Three different coaches at UF have won 84% of the games with UGA starting with Spurrier. At that rate, the record will be 20 – 4 by the time 24 games are played. This may be the year for the Dawgs to win that 1 game in the next 5 against UF…………..or maybe it won't.
May 13th, 2009
7:49 pm
Most UF fans are idiots, my cousin is a UF fan and I can't stand him b/c he knows nothing but Tebow. Everytime I turn around he says when Tebow leaves we have someone who is just as good or better ready to replace him. Then I say why didn't they put him in when Tebow has been hurt. Then my cousin goes on and on and on then it kinda sounds like he is choking down a big…….Let me shut up now before I hurt window licking freddie or any other idiots.
May 13th, 2009
9:04 pm
Uf fans please don't forget that UGA has whipped your a** more times than not!
May 13th, 2009
9:32 pm
Congatulations Mr. Gunsby, you have just been offered by the National Champions! Quite an accomplishment. Gunsby…like the name…you must really have a gun for an arm!!! Best of luck in your decision!
May 14th, 2009
5:45 am
Truth, you sound more like an idiot to me. You don't put in a freshman to replace a slightly injured Heisman Trophy winner. And your cousin knows what he is talking about. Just remember the name, John Brantley. A special talent at QB to replace Tebow after next year, and at times next year. He is special, too.
May 14th, 2009
6:36 am
Just like UGA fans to live in the past. It's all about what have you done lately. LOVE it that UF has kicked your butts and then some. One win in the last how many years? Just keep talking smack losers. UF will just kick it again this year. By the way, UGA fans have no room to talk. How many have been jailed or kicked off your team lately? At least he knows UF has a chance at the NC. Enough said!!!!!
May 14th, 2009
3:46 pm
Johnny Brantley was redshirting (as a freshman) in 07 and Cam Newton (the then 2nd team QB) was hurt when we played UGa. Tebow hurt his shoulder in the previous game against UK. Since UF effectively hadn't a healthy second team QB, in the event Tebow further injured himself, Tebow wasn't being allowed to run the ball. That being painfully (pun intended) apparent allowed UGa's defense to pin their ears back and rush the passer (who now wasn't a threat to run). Thus, UGa's sack total was significant.
Johnny Brantley is (at present) UF's best passing QB. I expect he'll be much better at UF than Stafford was at UGa.
May 14th, 2009
8:00 pm
Hater- The number of UGA players jailed or kicked off the team this year is ZERO. You can't count Wilson, as he is off the team for medical reasons.
May 14th, 2009
11:48 pm
Hey UGAHater sounds like your living a wee bit in the past as well. This is a new year 2009 and 2008 well its in the books much like how we whipped ya'll and danced all over your endzone in 2007. You can say what you want like how you will beat us like you do "every year" but i'll say this just make sure you make it past the Vols first then we will do our thing in jacksonville and i promise you right now it will be one heck of a game nothing like 2008 so florida boys you better come prepared to play and show up cuz i know us Georgia Dawgs will…
May 15th, 2009
8:57 pm
Who cares?!
May 16th, 2009
7:53 am
ya dang right DaltonDAWG706, it's going to be a war . The 2009 dawgs might not be pretty, but with their blue collar attitude they will fight ya until the end. They will improve every game. It's great to be a georgia bulldawg!

Q&A: Is any type of sushi safe while pregnant?
I used to eat sushi all the time! Is any type of sushi safe for me to eat while I'm pregnant?
The issues with sushi have to do with both the safety of uncooked fish and the fact that some fish are high in mercury. Keep in mind, though, that fish is actually really good for you and your developing baby, and you should seek out ways to get safe fish into your diet.
Here's my best assessment of the sushi dilemma:
1. Fish contain fatty acids that are particularly good for the developing fetus and can be hard to get from other food sources.
2. Raw fish pose a potential risk of infection, but sushi sold in restaurants has been flash frozen to kill parasites. If you are worried, eat sushi made from low mercury fully cooked fish. And if you are going to eat uncooked fish in pregnancy, only get it from a commercial source, made by a trained sushi chef. This is not a time to try someone's homemade raw specialty.
3. Larger fish that eat lots of small fish concentrate organic mercury in their bodies. Swordfish, king mackerel, tilefish, and shark are highest in mercury and should be totally avoided in pregnancy. Albacore tuna is mid-range and should be limited.
4. Crustaceans, catfish, any tiny fish like anchovies or smelts, mollusks like clams and scallops, and Atlantic and Pacific mackerel are lowest in mercury. All of these are generally fine to eat.
5. For a bigger list of good fish to eat in pregnancy go to the FDA website or get the smartphone app "Seafood Watch," which also takes ecological impact into account.
If you want to be most cautious, you won't go wrong eating sushi made from cooked (low-mercury) fish and vegetables.

The Klondike gold fields have produced approximately 20 million oz of gold since being discovered in 1897, yet, no significant underground mine has been developed. New understanding of the structural geology may lead to the hard rock source.
Portugal is a mining-friendly jurisdiction with known mineral potential and reliable infrastructure. It has one of the oldest mining traditions in Europe where mining started before Roman times, and a renewal in support is in evidence today.
In southeast British Columbia the Company has a highly-prospective portfolio of gold projects and also holds a large land package prospective for sedimentary exhalative (Sedex, Sullivan) style mineralization.
The Company has been conducting mineral exploration programs for over 30 years and is a pioneer of hard rock exploration in Canada's north. Current assets include over 1,500 Mineral Claims covering 800 km2 in two of the world's most recognized mining and exploration camps in the Yukon and southeastern British Columbia.
In Portugal the Company has acquired exploration licenses for a number of former gold mines in the Valongo Belt, which extends over 90 km and hosts gold, antimony, silver, lead, zinc, tin and tungsten mineralization.

Paying for another type of hangover
Good morning, Funny Money fans, and, by the looks of it, you had a great St. Patrick's Day. At least I hope you downed a couple pints of green beer yesterday. Otherwise, you need to see a dentist pronto.
Of course, there a lots of worse aspects to a hangover than discolored dental work, such as waking up to your freshly inked signature on a marriage certificate with someone named Trixie. But even if you didn't touch so much as a wee drop of the luck of the Irish, you can still have a head throbbing from other excessive indulgence, such as racking up a pile of credit card debt, and not just to cover a six-figure bar tab and the Elvis impersonator who joined you and Trixie in wedded bliss.
What's the best way to $0?
The best strategy to retire your credit card debt is to stop adding to your balance, and then to set a flat, consistent payment each month to methodically whittle it away. The difference between just making the minimum payment and setting a flat monthly amount is striking. If you have $10,000 of debt on three cards at varying interest rates, paying the minimum takes more than 11 years and $5,000 of interest to retire your balance. But take 4 percent of your original debt -- $400 a month -- and pay that amount consistently and you'll be done in less than three years and pay less than $2,400 in interest.
If you've got more to spend on your debt, there's a big debate among personal finance experts about whether you should throw that money at your most expensive debt -- charging the highest rate of interest -- or at your smallest balance. The high-rate camp argues that their approach cuts your total interest expense the most. Small-balance advocates say that it's more important to get the satisfaction and reinforcement that comes from getting at least one account to a $0 balance as soon as possible.
Until debt do you part
I say you should choose whichever one feels right and that you can sustain until you get to $0. If that's the small-balance approach, don't worry -- you're not missing a lot in extra savings.
Take three credit cards: One charging 18.9 percent on a $5,000 balance; another at 15.9 percent on a $3,000 balance; and the third with a rate of 11.9 percent on $2,000. If you could add $50 to one of your monthly payments, where should it go? You'd think the savings would be most significant on the highest-rate card, right?
Right -- but only by $74.11. Paying by either method speeds up the payment time at the same rate -- six months -- so the highest-rate approach doesn't save any time, just a little money.
So set a strategy to pay off your debt, stick to it, and stop adding new charges -- even if Trixie insists on Niagara Falls for the honeymoon.

Scientific name: Senecio evansianus
Conventionally accepted as Senecio evansianus (Green 1994).
Senecio evansianus is a low growing herb, growing to 3–30 cm in height, that is often woody at the base. Stems are hairy near the base, with crowded leaves that have hairy margins and undersides. Lower leaves have only short stalks (subpetiolate), are obovate (egg-shaped) and blunt. The leaves of the upper stem are lance-shaped with slightly serrated margins and are occasionally arranged along the stem symmetrically (pinnately). Upper leaves are small and more pointed lanceolate in shape (Green 1994). The flower heads are a loose, flat to convex grouping of 10–20 yellow flowers each with four or five petals. Three or four cup-shaped bracteoles (leaves that act to protect flower buds as they develop), 1.5–2 mm long and 0.5 mm wide, along with seven to nine involucral bracts (leaves that sit below the flower head) 4–5 mm long, surround each flower. Only one seed is produced and is 2–2.5 mm long, ribbed, hard, and brown in colour. The seed has a fine covering of hairs known as pappus hairs that are easily detached (Green 1994).
The species is endemic to Norfolk Island, and has been recorded at the following locations (DNP 2010; Green 1994):
- Rocky Point
- Bumbora Reserve above Cresswell Bay
- Bloody Bridge
- East of Bloody Bridge.
Surveys undertaken in 2003 identified less than 200 mature plants (TSSC 2003z).
Senecio evansianus occurs in small numbers in the Hundred Acres Reserve on Norfolk Island (NIPFS 2003b).
The species is thought to be restricted to well-watered clay soils beneath open stands of Norfolk Island Pine (Araucaria heterophylla) (Green 1994).
The main threat to Senecio evansianus is competition from weeds, particularly Kikuyu (Pennisetum clandestinum) (DNR 2010).
Senecio evansianus is included in the National Norfolk Island Region Threatened Species Recovery Plan (DNR 2010). Specific actions identified to aid in the recovery of the species include:
- Weed control activities.
- Forest revegetation, including seed collection and propagation, and replanting of the species in shaded areas.
- Implementation of quarantine measures to protect the island's biodiversity.
- Engagement of the community.
Management documents for Senecio evansianus can be found at the start of this profile. Other documents relevant to the species include:

By that standard, and by many other standards, Judge Robert Bork, a former Marine who died on Dec. 19 at the age of 85, was a man of great merit.

Interesting from the Resolution Foundation - more than two-thirds (68%) of working-age households in receipt of one of the benefits covered by the Autumn Statement announcement are in work.
Analysis of the DWP's Family Resources Survey shows that there are around 11.5 million working-age households receiving one or more of the benefits and tax credits covered by the new up-rating.
Of these, around 7.9 million are in-work and just 3.7 million have no one in work

How should economy system that comes after capitalism look like?
History is much longer than human existence and it has shown that, how our society looks like in our lifetime, changes over time. In that timeline, commodity trade, commodity-currency and finally currency-currency trade are systems meant to serve for a while.
Recently, in the light of ACTA, SOPA, and PIPA, those who support acts that might limit internet freedom, say that it is necessary for them to "maintain their business model", and that piracy and copyright issues are making it impossible.
It might seem that they are spending too much money to lobby preservation of system at this moment of development, in stead of offering solution for its progress.
It might seem easier, and it is not unrealistic, to make new business models, achieve goals, and yet not repress middle and lower class.
However, in order for business models to change freely, monetary and economic system have to change as well.
How do you imagine system that is better and more human than capitalism?

Feb 8 2012: I do not have a clear idea on how would be the next system after the failure of capitalism, but I am sure it is failing.
To set an hypothesis, we should look at the back bone of the system we are in, we are locked in a triangle with (speculative system), (military power), (Currency supremacy) in each angle.
That figure is changing day by day,and as the global shift in thinking and way of living is ascending, military power will be having less and less influences on people's lives. We have a clear illustration in the people revolutions witnessed around the globe latetely. People prefer to die rather than staying in some kind of mind-jail. No one wants to live under dictatorship anymore. At first, we are fighting the military force than submit the people, second, we'll be fighting money power.
Speculation has gone wild and created such a volume of imaginary money and wealth that no one can really tell you the line between dream and reality. the development of events shows us, that we are going down back to earth, and the economy will shrink up to his intrinsec realm. It will be a big shock, but those who are already down to earth will not be surprise. The majority of the people of the world being poor or with just enough money to make a living will stand the shift as they have very little to loose.
The third point in the balance being Currencies supremacy, responding to the downsizing of the speculative volume of money created by "world casinos", NY, Paris, London, Tokyo, ect..., most currencies will loose their credibility, thus giving way to refuge in sources like gold and other precious metals. Natural ressources are the future's wealth. A country will be quoted rich or poor according to the quantity of ressource he has and no more how much imaginary money he can raise from his national casino.
This is how I think the next economy system will look like, the procedures and details of functionning will set up naturally; human beings are king of adaptation.

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Professor Petra Rethmann
The development of Buddhism in the West as a vital and viable religious path is currently in process. Buddhism has become increasingly visible in mainstream popular culture, and multiple images and conceptions of Buddhism and Buddhists are relatively common. As Buddhism becomes more personally, philosophically, and spiritually relevant to an increasing number of Westerners, to ask the question, "Who are Buddhists?" in the West elicits responses that may be complex, nuanced, and even contradictory. This research explores the ambiguities and the assumptions surrounding popular and scholastic understandings of "Western Buddhists" in Canada.
Focusing on narrative accounts of men and women practising Tibetan Buddhism in Toronto, this thesis will examine the reasons and motivations underlying the contemporary interest in Buddhism. Further, I argue that these reasons and motivations are themselves influenced and shaped by the representation of Buddhism in the West as a textually based, genderless, and timeless tradition. I propose that within any response to the question "Who are Buddhists?" is a matrix of meaning, underpinned by a number of dualities in dynamic tensions between male and female, monastic and lay, the individual and the communal, doctrine and social reality, religion and spirituality, and Buddhist and non-Buddhist.
My research will help explicate the emergence of new religious ideas in Canada, and will contribute to the understanding of an emerging "Western" form of Buddhism as the tradition struggles to become increasingly active in Western socio-cultural contexts. This thesis is one of the first ethnographic accounts of the everyday relgious lives of "Western Buddhists" in which participants have an active voice in the research process. It is also one of the few accounts of Buddhism in the West to come out of Canada, and could provide the basis for more nuanced investigations of the emergence of a "Western Buddhism" in general.

We have a very (very? Extremely, disproportionately, horrifically) bad tank in our raids at times. He taunts off our other (good!) tank all the time, even when he has debuffs of death and doom that mean our other tank NEEDS to be tanking, he never uses cooldowns, loses aggro (he once lost a boss to healing aggro from our resto shammy), delivers awful DPS when it matters, blames the healers for dying, and has been roasted in every kind of fire there is - he's ready to be served up well-done with a side of fries. He's also the only person in the history of WoW to get hit by Bethilac's "knockback" and go flying through a hole on her web.
We're not exactly short on tanks, but we currently work on rotation to get people into raids. The real issue we have is that he won't listen to any advice. He gets defensive, blames everyone from the healers to the DPS to fluffy the wonder sheep for his mistakes, and insists he's our best tank. Dealing with a tank who is poorly performing is one thing, but how do you deal with a tank who's outright delusional?
DragonFireKai said...
Bench him. If you're not hurting for tanks, then why are you hamstringing yourself by carrying him?
Have to agree with DragonFireKai. Explain precisely the mistakes he's made, then bench him until he agrees to training with a guild group.
THEN form a guild group with at least one player who can provide specific instruction in his class, and take the BadTank into 5-mans where you can practice particular tactics, situations, and responses. Doesn't even have to be heroics, if the boss has the mechanic in normal mode. Explain the specific mechanic you're wanting him to show.
You (the raid leader, "class boss", officer) are proving that you (the raid) are committed to either letting the tank show that he can hack it, or to train him until he can. Who knows, he might be right.
This is, of course, a high maintenance solution, but it might well prevent drama. And at the least, in a 5-man group, you're burning the time of only 4 guildies intstead of 9 or 24.
If he won't take advice, and is not willing to prove that he is right in an environment where he's doing less collateral damage, it's time for "Punt, bounce, bounce".
From my own tanking viewpoint, the important question is not "whose fault was that?" It is "what can I personally do to make this work?"
We also have a rotation system, but I refuse to force the rest of the raid to suffer because these two won't get it together. I've been known, in extreme cases, to bench an offending tank and pug the spot. We're a very casual and relaxed guild, but playing in a reasonable way is more about respect to the other 9 guys who've rearranged their schedules to get together for the evening.

Co-stars Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth are apparently more than friends, and were spotted making out at the Nashville airport. Read more on this story below.
On Wednesday, Miley Cyrus was spotted kissing the handsome Australian actor, Liam Hemsworth, at the airport in Nashville. A New York actor that saw the PDA said Cyrus acted "as giddy as a schoolgirl." And he also said the couple was "full on making out".
Hemsworth jumped out of Cyrus's truck with his luggage and headed for the terminal doors when "she jumped into his arms and threw her arms around his neck and kissed him and leaned back and he was dipping her," says Emanuel. "It was like a scene out of an old movie where the guy's getting on a train and they're saying their goodbyes."
Cyrus and Hemsworth wrapped the film The Last Song in Tybee, Georgia, and attended the film's wrap party together on Aug. 16.
According to Cyrus' Twitter posts, she is still single. "I do not have a boyfriend," she writes.
Miley said she is teaching Liam Hemsworth a thing or two about Southern eats. "@mommytish and @auntedi and I are introducing the aussie to cracker barrel!!! Yummyyy " Cyrus wrote about taking Hemsworth to the restaurant chain.
She also revealed they like to stay in and nosh in front of the TV. Her Aug. 14th Tweet: "I kinda want to go see 'The Time Traveler's Wife' but I think I'll just sit around and eat sushi and watch "Liar Liar" with Liam "
Cyrus' publicist had no comment.

apparently i have an hour left to live…time to make it interesting :D
Lets just sum this all up and then i'll go finish my homework.
Sense then i have been staying with my friend. Shes been such a major help. I dont know where i would be right now if her and her family hadnt of taken me in. I will forever be in debt to them.
A couple times a day i get kinda sad thinking about the fact that none of my family has tried to get in contact with me. But then i remember all of the fights and how shitty i have been treated there. My own sister, who went through the same stuff as me and left too, says im no longer her sister unless i go back. Well i refuse. As long as i have places to stay, or a bench to sleep on (because i would rather do that then go back), then im NOT going back. And no one can make me. Im 17. Its legal for me to do this.
my future husband better think up some interesting way to propose to me otherwise i'll say no, i don't want a restaurant proposal
Well to start off my lovely day yesterday, my boyfriend pissed me off by blowing up my facebook with a thousand messages as soon as i woke up. Then i spent a couple hours cleaning, then i found out that im most likely not getting my senior pictures done. So i was already in a bad mood. Then me and my boyfriend broke up because he pissed me off beyond belief because he lied to me at the wrong time. Then i had to go to a wedding rehersal with my 76 year old neighbor and help her set everything up and stuff. At the end of the rehersal she got really dizy and almost passed out so we called an ambulance, they looked her over, said she should probably go to the hospital tonight, even though she refused to go in the ambulance. I called Jim, and my boyfriend and my boyfriend picked up Jim and then brought him up to the church and we all drove in seprate cars to the hospital. My neighbor really wanted me to go with her into the room when they took her back so i sat back there with her while they ran a crap load of tests on her. I was so scared that something was really wrong with her and when we found out she had to stay the night there, i instantly said i was staying. She didnt argue. Then Jim decided to say i couldnt stay and forced me to come home. I was starving so i didnt argue it as much as i should have. In the car (this is where things get insane) Jim decided to start bitching about my boyfriend even though he just saved us. I was being calm about it all for once in my life when all of a sudden i asked him "can we cover one thing really fast without getting mad at each other?" and then everything blew up. He said fine, and i asked him why he threatened my boyfriend and why he was in his face the other morning. That Miss Kathy and Stano both told me he had gotten in his face. He instantly started bitching and then we were finally at my house so i said whatever fine im going inside so we dont end up getting into a huge fight. I went into my house and in my room and just shut the lights off and laid in bed and kept talking to Stano. Jim came barging in and i still tried to be calm and simply said that i was under a lot of stress lately and he cut me off before i could finish what i was saying by saying "your under so much stress because you have to worry about keeping your fucking sex stories straight with your boyfriend!" so i instantly snapped and started screaming. I can only hold my temper back for so long and he pushed me too far by saying that. I screamed "im under a lot of fucking stress because its my fucking senior and i have too much to do this year so dont say im stressed out because of that bullcrap when im not!" and then there was a lot more screaming and it ended with him saying that in order to keep me from seeing stano he was going to send me to indiana to live with his cousins. So i instantly got even more pissed. So there was more screaming and i said if he did that i would kill myself. but then i realized that you can legally leave at 17 so i just said im leaving and they cant stop me and packed my bags and left. Now i just have to find a place i can stay at permanently. I have places i can stay at for like a night or two but not for good. Kinda just figuring it all out right now i guess. But the funny thing is, neither of my parents tried to stop me. They sat on the couch and didnt even say anything when i said bye and walked out the front door. Obviously they care so fucking much. Anyways, im hungry so time to find fooooddd<333333333
I asked if you were home yet and you lied and said you were helping your neighbor pick up leaves, when in all fucking reality you were walking to my fucking house. I told you to fucking leave me alone for the day and you sneak behind my back and go to my neighbors to drop off a rose and your fucking phone. I dont want to fucking talk to you so why the fuck would i need your phone. Im so beyond pissed off at you right now, you really have no idea. So now i have to pretend im in a good mood when im there tonight with my neighbor and pretend i dont want to kick your damn ass, when in all reality, that is ALL i want to do right now. I hope you dont expect me to take it with me or if i do, to have anything to do with it tonight. Im getting even more sick of you then i already am. So congrats.

In response to a recent notice on Coventry Patch from John Assalone, CCFD Special Master Richard Land explained the purpose behind Friday's Public Safety Committee Meeting at Town Hall at 2 p.m.
Land explained that the reason for holding the meeting, which will include a group of individuals from the emergency response field, CCFD Board members Joe Bonn, Marie Fisher and David Jervis, is to discuss all of the possible options that would be available IF the Central Coventry Fire District ceased operation for any reason.
"The point of this meeting is to understand at least what the short term options are if that were to happen," said Land. "This is about emergency services and I need the professionals that participate in the field to come to the meeting and discuss how they could deal with the process."
Land explained that the meeting is not "closed" to the public or the press, but residents should know that it is a working meeting for the purpose of brainstorming, not a policy meeting, and that there will be no voting on any topics.
"There's no intent to close anyone out," he said. "I do intend to share financial information with the public on Monday, but I want to share information that I am comfortable with and am not interested in putting out misinformation."
Land will hold a meeting for the Central Coventry Fire District and its taxpayers on Monday, Dec. 10 at Coventry High School at 7 p.m. Click here to view the agenda.

Hi!! My name is Lori McAree and I am so excited to be joining the Hambo team!!
I am a very lucky lady to have a wonderful husband and 3 grown sons who are all very supportive of my hobby and aren't afraid to give me honest feedback!! I also have a stepson, stepdaughter and a granddaughter. Not too long ago we became empty nesters so we are both able to pursue our hobbies a bit more now!
I try to make at least a card a day and love participating in challenges!! I donate most of my cards to Operation Write Home so I have our troops in mind most of the time I am creating. When I'm not stamping I also enjoy traveling, NASCAR racing and cross stitching.
Lori will be on Team Squeal - who will begin the term working with our digital images, so you'll get a chance to know her through our Hoedown challenge each week.
And before I go, I want to give you a heads-up: if you're on our newsletter list, check your mailbox because we have some big news today! Not on our mailing list? Email us with "newsletter" in the subject line and we'll be sure you're added.
See you tomorrow for another DT "reveal."

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Four dead, as many as 30 missing and nearly 80 injured.
And there are lots of unanswered questions about why that 40-year-old bridge over the Mississippi collapsed yesterday in Minneapolis.
The White House says a 2005 inspection of the Interstate 35W span found problems. It rated 50 on a scale of 100 for structural stability and was classified as "structurally deficient." But the transportation secretary says that didn't mean that the bridge was unsafe.
Engineers spotted structural problems in the bridge as far back as 1990, but state officials thought patches and yearly inspections would be enough to keep it together.
The span was in the midst of repairs when it buckled during the evening rush hour. Minnesota's governor has ordered an immediate inspection of all bridges in the state with similar designs.

HOW TO WORK subjects the tasks of writing and research to the rigours of collaborative performance-making.

This ongoing process will eventually yield a published document, a performance in the shape of a book.

Color Combo: Hot Pink and Dark Blue
It's not a color combo you see very often, but when done right hot pink and dark blue can look surprisingly chic. We found a few photos of pink paired with hues ranging from navy to royal to dark purple-blues. All of them have a sense of edgy elegance...
For all previous color combos, click here.

These are a bit suppressing for me. The Rug Company blue wall is beautiful..the rest are just blah and give me a tummy ache like in need if pepto bismol. The Notting Hill living rm is depressing, but the pink sofa is quit fun.
I much prefer the more dramatically hued rooms to the pastels and dusty mauves...
I'm with bepsf.
It might just be my computer, but most of these look purplish. And all of them definitely look "dusty".
I can see how blue would look nice with a real hot pink though. Balancing it without losing any of the awesome.
My space is hot pink and light, sky (powder) blue! As I said on the comments of this post, pink can look grownup with the right elements. It's funny how in one post, AT will have a conniption over something, and in the next post showcase how trendy the same concept is.
Can anyone help me identify the sofa in the "Notting Hill Home by Ilse Crawford" photo? It's very Togo-ish (and is hopefully made in colors other than pink)
I too am *loving* that sofa, linea5. Only I think I want it in pink.
I bet it's custom and costs a zillion dollars.
I actually love each of these pictures. There's something wonderfully subversive about those floral paintings (which, to me, look like thrift store paintings) and that great floral rug.
Jezebella, I'll bet it is too! I covet the Togo but I almost like this more....
Not a huge fan of the muted pinks and blues but navy and pink done right looks stunning.

Book Research by the Numbers
I recently travelled to Newfoundland to research resettlement communities—places the government moved between the 1950s and 1970s. I'd been studying people who chose to leave home for my book about modern nomads, mobility and alternative communities. Now I wanted to meet people who couldn't bear to leave.
Boats in the harbour of the Fogo Island Co-op in Joe Batt's Arm, Newfoundland.
I'm going through fifteen hours of interviews, thousands of words of notes, and a bunch of amateur pictures. More to come, but first a tallying up of numbers (alas, no Nicholas Felton treatment, I'm afraid):
One generous research grant.
12 days
1,800 kilometres driven
Two caribou and minke whales sighted (each)
70% rain, 20% wind, 10%fog
12 interviews with fishers
Four islands visited
Two boat trips
Now … writing.
A tilting fishing stage where fish are stored in the community of Tilting, on Fogo Island, Newfoundland.
This research was completed with assistance from Access Copyright Foundation, which supports publishers, writers and visual arts organisations through its grant programme.

A Lubbock city councilman say progress is being made in the Tech Terrace area, but more is needed.
"The first nine months of this year the police department has written thousands and thousands of citations in tech terrace and made a number of arrests is proof that improvement in enforcement," said City Council member Tom Martin.
Thursday, the police department presented the council with a nine month study on its enforcement in Tech Terrace. The study was the result of numerous citizen complaints about parking and noise.
The council is now discussing a number of possible solutions to the parking problems including the expansion of the parking permit area and Citibus shuttles from south and west Lubbock to Texas Tech University.

1. Combine ground beef and pepper in a large bowl until blended. (Do not overwork meat mixture.) Shape mixture into 8 (4-inch) patties; spoon 1 1/2 Tbsp. pimiento cheese in center of each of 4 patties. Top with remaining 4 patties; pressing edges to seal. Cover and chill at least 30 minutes. Sprinkle evenly with salt.
2. Grill, covered with grill lid, over medium-high heat (350° to 400°) for 7 to 8 minutes on each side or until beef is no longer pink. Serve on buns with desired toppings and remaining pimiento cheese.

Love 'em! Super bright colors pop off of every, um, outfit (do dudes say that?) I wear. Comfy, not too sweaty when it gets hot out, and low stink factor so far. Owned a month or so, in hot 'ol Utah, wear them 3 - 5 days a week. As for the Hyper-color-change-technology; not so much. The color change happened as I was taking off the UPC stickers and stuff, but I've never seen it 'go' while wearing them. It's cool though, because I never read that they were supposed to do that. I just bought them 'cuz they're bright.

These sandals looked pretty plain when I first got them. After wearing them around I soon realized that they were more than I initially thought they were. They have really good arch support for a basic framed sandle, and are really comfy. Plus the light blue colour just grabs peoples eyes and they just pop. Not to mention they change color when they heat up by your foot!! Super cool and super comfy
